Starving Horses
 

Happy Memorial Day to you all. I hope you have a nice time with family today, and hopefully barbecue up some good good. We can not barbecue, because of the drought there is a Burn Ban that extends to even lighting a propane grill. The wildfires have been terrible this spring.


Drought Week continues here with this picture of starving horses. The picture was taken in 1916 in Kentucky. As I mentioned yesterday, all the ranchers I know have sold off there cattle, sheep, and goats. There is not grass because of lack of rain, and we are pretty much out of hay. Some have not sold there horses, though. In some cases horses are hard to sell, and in other cases, horses are more like family pets. In either case, I have seen more and more horses like the ones in the picture above recently. In yesterday's comments, bibdi reported similar things in the small towns around San Antonio. It is really sad.

Emma Watson Goes Bare… Midriff (It’s a Start!)
 

A school friend once told me, 'There are three kinds of people in this world. 'A' students, 'B' students, and, my friends.' Well, along similar lines, since sexy redhead Emma Watson has become a college dropout, I kind of feel like the two of us may have a chance at something special in this crazy crazy world. That something special is likely a restraining order and some type of beating at the hands of Interpol, but, sometimes, lust hurts.

Speaking of lust, I don't need to tell you the passion and fascination the entire ogling world has with young Emma Watson, sextastic star of that wizard movie series and well-known angst-filled hottie. Well, today is a quite delightful day in that regard as our limey-ginger sexy bomb flashed more skin than usual in her bare midriff bra top and stretch pants for the general benefit of man-kind. Oh, sure, we still got the pouty, put-out kind of face scrunch, but do realize that this is just her crenelated exterior defense, surely built to protect her warm and luscious castle keep. (Oh, yes, everything I know about girls comes from two intense summer weeks at D&D camp.) Enjoy.

Indo-Pacific Humpbacked Dolphin - The Lazy Dolphin
 

http://thewebsiteofeverything.com/we...ed-dolphin.jpgThe Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin (Sousa chinensis) is a marine mammal that generally inhabits the tropical and temperate reefs and estuaries of the Pacific ocean and the Indian ocean. Their easternmost range extends to between northern Australia and southern China, while their westernmost range extends to the edges of the Indian ocean and southern Africa. They are most common in the coastal waters surrounding Indonesia.

Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins travel in groups of less than ten individuals, with some groups containing up to 30 individuals. These small, close-knit groups are referred to as pods. They do not have a specific breeding season, and breed all throughout the year. However, they do generally tend to give birth in the summer months between December and February. A generally slow and non-acrobatic marine mammal, males have been known to put on acrobatic displays in order to win mates for breeding.

These dolphins are characterized by their "humped" dorsal fins. Though this hump can be very distinctive in most males, it is not uncommon for males to completely lack this humped dorsal fin. It is also not uncommon for males to have well-defined ridges on their dorsal tail stock. Their bodies are very stocky, making them formidably strong. Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins have bee known to drive off and kill sharks, mostly due to this size and strength. Their beaks are highly defined, and look very distinctive. Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins are distinctly long and large, topping out at around 10.5 feet (about 3 meters) in large males. Females generally are no larger than 8 (about 2.5 meters) feet long. Adult Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins are not known to grow larger than 626 lbs (284 kg).

Being a large fan of reefs, the diet of the Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin involves mostly reef fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Using echolocation, they hunt in smaller groups to pick out their prey from amongst the reef. While they are known to hunt mostly in small groups, it is not unheard of for them to hunt alone. In almost all cases, they are known to eat alone. They are aggressive when feeding, and do not abide intrusion well.

The Indo-Pacific hump backed dolphin is not in any major danger. They are hunted for meat and oil, but not on a significant enough scale to warrant concern. The major impact to their population numbers is found in commercial fishing by-catch. Every year, many dolphins are netted and killed accidentally by commercial fishermen. Their only known predators are sharks.

Stephen O’Donnell
 

http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/ste...l_87789879.jpg

About Stephen:

Stephen O’Donnell paints in a genre he initially did not know the historical precedent of, portrait historié, which is characterized by its recognizable subject, depicted in historic or mythological guise.

Examples include a French king impersonating a Roman general, an actress as a tragic muse, or a stout Dutch merchant and his vacant-eyed wife in a masquerade of Antony and Cleopatra.

His work has been exhibited locally in Portland, Oregon.
