Sharks less aggressive while listening to AC/DC

I knew it!!: There’s no telling what might happen if you play Taylor Swift of Justin Bieber for a great white shark.

You might not want to find out.

But if you crank up AC/DC, you’ll likely notice your great white friend getting a little more docile.

Anglers Decreasing??

The Enid News and Eagle, Enid, OK: Fishermen are known to make excuses and so it was with why they did not go fishing. Thirty-one percent said it was too hot or cold to go fishing. Followed by 30 percent who said there was not enough vacation time and 25 percent blamed it on too much time spent at work. Spending time with the family was cited by 23 percent. Another 19 percent claimed they did not have the right gear and 17 percent said there was no one to go with. Being honest, I can say I have used some of these myself before.

The Whale

http://www.thewhalemovie.com/

Film Review - The Hollywood Reporter: The center of attention here is Luna, a young orca who, at age two, for some reason became separated from his large family, “like a child in a supermarket,” and was stranded in Nootka Sound, an ultra-scenic area more than halfway up the west coast of Vancouver Island. Backed up by images of the black-and-white “killer whale” cavorting, showing off and constantly begging for attention, Reynolds unassumingly informs that Orcas, who have about the same life spans as humans, are very social beings that spend their whole lives in extended family groups. In other words, unless he can somehow rejoin his pod, Luna will have to make do with human contact.

PITCH2011 Regatta 
Medevac to Bellingham, I'm waiting for news from the ICU as a friend from the islands is critical condition.  Meanwhile...I always wanted to be Kelly O'Neal.  I like dogs, photography and boats...so in the spirit of Kelly I got out there on the dinghy with the dog just like she did...but for my custom duct-taped telephoto mount and did one for the 'ol bucket list - life is short.

Apocalypse Bow-Wow

Cute Overload: "As the pilot steered us upriver, I reviewed Colonel Kats’ file. The Army had sent their finest dogs to chase him, but nothing had come back but rumors — whispers of a cult deep in the jungle, where dogs and mice alike worshipped Kats like a god."

Roman ship had on-board fish tank

Roman ship had on-board fish tank : Nature News: "A Roman ship found with a lead pipe piercing its hull has mystified archaeologists. Italian researchers now suggest that the pipe was part of an ingenious pumping system, designed to feed on-board fish tanks with a continuous supply of oxygenated water. Their analysis has been published"

We do transfer farmed salmon from the pens to the processor with large oxygenated tanks in the Puget Sound.  The fish are still alive when they reach the plant this way!

A Swedish American in Swedish

Swedish Sailing and Insanity: "The sea was boiling. I never understood what that meant until this weekend. All of those literary descriptions meant nothing to me. Boiling? I thought it was just windy and wave-y. I was wrong. The rain was so powerful that the water falling from the skies was pushing the waves back down from the depths from which they originated. It was bubbling, but there were no whitecaps. The rain was too strong. Every description of a boiling sea that I have ever read suddenly made sense to me. In case you were wondering, boiling is an apt description. Just trust me."
