November 11
Yes.. More tigers :-D
Cold and wet day, wet tigers.
Baghira was playing with a small rock, and his brother Vitez was in a very playful mood.
Taj was very camera shy today.

3 Sumatrans, 2 Bengals, 2 Bengal cubs, 170 miles = 1300 pictures.
The first tiger in this set is the new male at Pt. Defiance Zoo. His name is yet to be chosen, I'm voting for Bali. He got some "enrichment items" for his introduction to the public. They included a "Popsicle" and a pumpkin with some hamburger inside. Sadly when he went to investigate the pumpkin, he knocked it into his pool. He seemed to really enjoy the Popsicle, as he drug it up the hill and hid in the shadows with it. The keepers were saying that they will try and get him and Jaya to eventually breed hopefully.
Jaya is in this set as well. She was being photogenic as usual, if not a little shy, hiding in the back of the 2nd enclosure.
Java was mostly hiding in the shade of a third enclosure. I got only a few pictures of him and only one worth posting.
I won't post the rest of this set just yet, per request.

More fall color
And sometimes the fall color is just everywhere.
I should keep my camera on me at all times. Of course, if I did that it would take me hours to get to my next client appointment every day.
Well, today it was just easier to take pictures in the backyard.

October 17th.
Todays visit was pretty wet. Storm cleared long enough to allow a few pictures.
Almos was in the Phase I enclosure and was cooperative.
The cubs Bhagira and Vitez were brought into the glass enclosed area and were playing and talking to Almos and the Cougar Nashi. Bhagira was running back and forth and Nashi was following him.

I didn't realize any of these would come out. I was lucky enough to get a few pictures of Nashi the Cougar.
It seems that it was a very snoozy day for the tigers Taj and Almos. Nashi was so alert because he had just been given his enrichment treats. You can see some hamburger hidden in the enclosure.

Windoze 7 for my work laptop.
Well, work just gave me a new drive with win7. YAAAWN.
Friends are having win7 rollout parties to get free copies.
Its pretty vista, new significant new gadgets. Seems every so slightly faster.
On the flip side, IE seems ever so less stable. Perhaps it was the AJAX page i was pulling up.

CMZ 3-Oct-09
The big guys are still being tempted into their new enclosure. Their big tiger ball was moved down the connecting tunnel, which Almos retrieved and brought back to the phase 1 area.
Since Almos and Taj are still happy in their current area, their little friends get to play in the larger phase 2 enclosure.

Tail of 2 Tigers and 2 Cubs
September 26th, Tale of 2 Tigers event at Cougar Mountain Zoo.
Taj and Almos were to be introduced to their new enclosure. Unfortunately, they didn't cooperate. I think there was a little stage fright goin' on. The ever-creative curator Robyn, had a plan B. The cubs Vitez and Bhagira got to go play in the new enclosure, as did all of us visitors. There are some pictures in the sequence.

Rough Play
These big boys play rough.
When their paw connect, you can hear the thwap.
They are connecting, but without claw extended.
I could only imagine if they were serious what would happen.
At the end of combat, they groom each other.

Tiger cubs attempt zoo-break
Tigers are crafty little creatures. On a recent trip to Cougar Mountain Zoo I captured photographic evidence to prove this hypothesis.
Watch as these two 11 week old cubs plan and execute an escape attempt.
Ever wary zoo general curator Robyn Barfoot, foiled said attempt.
UPDATE: 8-Sep-2k9 Enlarged to 600x400 slide show

Encounter with a Bengal Tiger
Once in a lifetime...
Hardly! I will do this again if I am able.
His "nickname" is Titan, he does not yet have a formal name. There is a contest the zoo is putting on to give him an official name. Tigers deserve names that befit them.
Very playful little guy (18kg) at 11 weeks. The fur isn't soft like a kitten, but slightly wiry. Under the fur, its all muscle. Sasha said he was doing the "tigger" thing today, bounding around. At just under 3 months old he is definitely a tiger. The experience was very much like playing with a 10-12 month old German Shepard puppy. You KNOW he is powerful, and must respect him (he deserves that).
Robyn's friendly reminder "18 claws and 30 teeth" rings in my ears. He did charge me a few times and brushed me with his paw, his claws retracted. He knows that he is just playing with me, the stuffted toy will not fare so well.

The Tigers at Cougar Mountain Zoo
A while ago I discovered the tigers Taj and Almos at the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah. I met the zoo's director Robyn, and yesterday we were talking about Taj and Almos.
The Zoo is in the middle of a construction project to build an much larger outdoor enclosure for the 2 existing tigers and hopes to get 2 more cubs later this year. Due to the rising construction costs and the economy, they are still short around $40,000 to ensure the completion of the project. The new enclosure will be better for these 2 growing young tigers, and will leave the existing space for the new cubs.
I would love to help them in some small way. If anyone reading this would like copies of any of my photographs (full resolution), I am happy to trade them for a donation to the zoo.

Football day
posts.
Today is playoff day. A trip to the "local" watering hole for nachos
and football. No seahawks here sadly.
Hopefully the fog will clear and we will get sun in Puyallup.
Well. Smoke break over. I'd better get back to the nachos.
Is that enough Diane?

Those pesky internets
Funny how everything spoken into the record by public people, like senators, gets captured and posted to the internet:
Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, the amendment before the Senate is a very simple one. It restricts the use of campaign funds for inherently personal purposes. The
amendment would restrict individuals from using campaign funds for such things as home mortgage payments, clothing purchases, noncampaign automobile expenses,
country club memberships, and vacations or other trips that are noncampaign in nature.

The broad perspective
My Canadian friend Jeremy posted this http://www.fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=373 item on his blog about the TrooperGate reporting.
News here in the US is getting more and more sensationalistic on all sides. The volume and smoke surrounding the election is getting worse. I would encourage people to read all 3 articles to get a better perspective.
On thing that mitigates this is getting new from multiple sources, as well as getting it delivered that way all the time. I really like http://news.google.com/ The google Reader allows you get this type of news daily. Any feed reader can accomplish this.

Election
Wow.
Breaking news: Palin abused her power as Gov. in the Monegan firing. Big surprise there.
She claims that she didn't get to talk to the investigation.. AFTER refusing to testify/speak to the investigation.. wow, really?
McCain has to talk his voters down, after people have been yelling "Terrorist" and "Kill Him" at McCain and Palin campaign rallies. He had to take the microphone away from a woman who called Obama an arab. Having to explain that Obama is a good man, and you "don't have to fear him".
Wow.
Call me not very surprised that McCain voters don't already know this. I am surprised that he is having to talk them down. Now, I am NOT implying that all conservatives / McCain followers are stupid or racist. There are however a large number who are one or both. People who are paying attention to the "Who is the real Obama?" nonsense and not the economic meltdown. Anyone who yells "Kill Him" at a campaign rally is both stupid and racist.
Hello???!!! The Secret service protects both McCain and Obama. I would imagine the Secret service would pay attention to those type of things.

New DVDs
We just got the new Iron Man DVD.
They were good enough to include a whole DVD of special features and a few hidden scenes. What was disappointing was that there was no iPod version of the movie. I see on iTunes that they will be selling that for another $14. I am quite disappointed. Transcoding another of copy of the movie and including it on the 2nd (special feature disk) is something i would have expected.
This disk we were going to buy anyway. Based on the popularity of the movie (servers that support the blue-ray version crashed in the first 2 days) i'm not very surprised they didnt include it and will charge an additional fee to get the ipod version.
I won't however condsider buying DVD's without ipod versions included as a special feature.
Do you hear me movie companies? :-P Fork over the additional content.

Boston Legal/Congressional vote on bailout? Deal or no Deal?
Ok.. I must go to sleep. The world has gone from odd to surreal in about 2 seconds..
The intro to tonight's episode of Boston Legal was a parody of Deal or No Deal? by one lawyer to another in a conference.
I just finished watching talking heads discuss today's congressional vote on the bailout.. Deal or No Deal?
Stock prices/value crumbled today, and lots of people status on social networking sites are mentioning 401K value. To buy stocks right now: Deal or No Deal?
What happened to the world today? Was the bailout a Deal or No Deal?
MESSAGES TO:
Nancy Pelosi: Chastise the current president AFTER the vote. -1 point to you.
Republican Leadership did you talk to your members and have a Deal (or No Deal?) -10 points
Republican members, I concede that the Speakers timing is poor. That's NO reason to scuttle a Deal (or No Deal). YOUR FIRED!
I told you I was tired.

Convincing
In reply to: scottsigler I'm undecided. Both campaigns appall me. So Obamites, educate me: cease with the "nanner-nanner" posts, link to what makes him right for USA
Scott..
I was going to layoff the politic thing, and not direct anything to you.. I wasn't sure you and I were in any way aligned politically. From previous posts, i think you might have a conservative leaning. Perhaps I'm wrong. This post makes me think you are more open minded, than i had previously though. A very good thing.
Perhaps this is just slightly the wrong perspective. Having said that, I will most probably be voting for Obama, primary because I think he is the more open minded and sophisticated of the 2 that will get the lions share of the votes. While I might agree with some of Ron Paul's fiscal ideas, I don't believe he has enough of a movement to garner a significant position in the election.
Back to what makes one or the other "right for the USA":
Social: Least important to me, Mcain should be "gov't out of your business", Palin choice doesn't back that up. Obama, appears more engaged. Despite Mcains protests, Obama does seem to "get it".
International: We NEED the rest of the world, especially now due to our financial situation. We need someone who the rest of the world thinks is listening. Mcain 1 point for some established relationships, -2 points for his reputation of " tantrum like behaviour". Obama speech in Berlin, may prove he is a rock star, but more importantly it proves people WANT to listen to him. US or abroad, Obama get the win on engaging people.
Fiscal policy: Mcain appears his most dangerous here. Phil Gram has a key responsibility in the original removal of regulation. He is a KEY advisor and is will protect moneyed interests.
Obama, No golden parachutes. He was on this track way before Mcain.
Overall, its more about US.. The electorate telling congress and the candidates what we want. I believe they should come to us.. NOT the other way around.
WE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!
You, Scott, have peoples ear. As a successful podcaster, you have a slightly louder voice. I may disagree with your conservatism, but i respect your opinion. What i ask of you, and every citizen: Get others ENGAGED. Like you just did. WHY are we voting for our canidate. Just voting party line is WRONG. Make them come to us. BE SPECIFIC. Tell them what you want!
I want out of Iraq. We already won. They have a gov't. They need to step up to the plate.
I want reasonable regulation, taking of responsibility, TRANSPARENCY.
I want to be a PROUD AMERICAN. How can we NOT be the most respected country in the world. We have GOOD people.

facebook?
nostalgia.. reconnection..
Strange thing this facebook. I never really got the whole FB meme until now. People from years past, in different states, with new jobs.
Very strange 'ting this FaceBook on the internet-tubes.
Its odd to be able to "catch up".. seeing kids grown 10 years since i last saw them.
Blogging was/is a stream-of-Consciousness experiment for me. A place for photo's and random thoughts.
I see how this gets people "addicted".

Moonrise
The moon from my front yard the other night.
I wish there was a program that would allow you to give it coordinates
and it would give you moon rise on any range of days.
It would be so much easier to get moon rise over Mt Ranier.
