The Guardian for this meeting was Fefonz Quan. The comments are by Fefonz Quan.

oO0Oo Resident: Hi Fefonz
Fefonz Quan: Hello oOOOo
oO0Oo Resident: Not sure if we ever met
Fefonz Quan not sure either
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Eliza
Fefonz Quan: Hi Eliza!
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Fef, oO0Oo, :)
Eliza Madrigal: hope everyone is well
Eliza Madrigal: ah, sure :)
Fefonz Quan: brb
Eliza Madrigal: I'm feeling uncharacteristically quiet today, so may not be much to observe :)
Eliza Madrigal is usually chaterring away ;)
oO0Oo Resident: much to observe in silence
Eliza Madrigal smiles with relief
oO0Oo Resident: for me
Eliza Madrigal: :) Bruce
oO0Oo Resident: hey Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: all back-row sitters today?
Eliza Madrigal: funny, huh?
Bruce Mowbray: unique -- curious -- interesting. . . (perhaps also funny.)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
oO0Oo Resident laughs too
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: ah, there is blub :)
Bruce Mowbray: The bell woke him up.
Fefonz Quan: Hi Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Fef.
Bruce Mowbray: Haven not seen you in a while.
Fefonz Quan: I thoguht that if all of us are at the back row, it's the front row in fact
Bruce Mowbray: indeed, excellent point, Fef.
oO0Oo Resident: I feel the wideness
oO0Oo Resident: feels good to me
Bruce Mowbray loves getting his "reference points" shaken a bit.
oO0Oo Resident: hehe
oO0Oo Resident snatches Blub and runs away never to be heard from again
Eliza Madrigal: it is certainly the row we are in
Bruce Mowbray: Ha!
Bruce Mowbray: OK -- You get to feed him now!
Fefonz Quan: the next step will be to turn over and watch outside teh circle, but I'mnot sure the animation is prepared for it
oO0Oo Resident: hehe
Eliza Madrigal: let the circle watch us...
Fefonz Quan: blub, blub, blub... to to-do
Fefonz Quan: since we are the circle, it's a little confusing :)
oO0Oo Resident: the circle, as seen from above, is like an eye, and the unique colourations every 6 hours change ~ the iridology, the weather oof the eye, as it watches
Eliza Madrigal: mmmm :) the weather of the eye... what an interesting phrase
Fefonz Quan: Nice. Yet I thought you can change it every minute if you like
Fefonz Quan: (the colouration)
oO0Oo Resident: when we dance, the eye has a sparkle in it
Fefonz Quan: So unlike the little prince, we can control the size of our asteroid and see SLunsets whenever we wish :-)
Bruce Mowbray: Someone once told me that the Sl days are four hours long -- or was that six hours long?
Bruce Mowbray LOVES Exupery's The Little Prince.
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, ya, Bert.
Eliza Madrigal: wonderful story :) Hi Bert!
Bertram Jacobus: hi everybody ! ... :-)
Fefonz Quan seconds that Eliza
oO0Oo Resident: Hey Bert
Fefonz Quan: Hi Bert!
Bruce Mowbray: So, is it true that we are responsible for whatever we've tamed?
Eliza Madrigal: responsible to feed the fish we steal?:)
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray feels sudden empathetic pangs for all starving fish.
oO0Oo Resident: steal is a little strong Eliza
Eliza Madrigal: hehe
Eliza Madrigal: yes it is ::: tames herself ::::
Fefonz Quan: like our children Bruce?
oO0Oo Resident: If I tame my mind, am I ready for the wild?
Fefonz Quan: IF you tame your soul, are you ready for the whole?
Bertram Jacobus: i´m not sure whether there is a soul ...
Bruce Mowbray: Well, it seems to me that "taming" something takes away its natural ability to defend itself -- and that therefore we become responsible for protecting it.
Fefonz Quan: me neither Bert, was just rhyming around
Bertram Jacobus: ah ! okay ... ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: If the little prince has tamed his rose. . . then he's responsible for it.
--BELL--
Fefonz Quan: I think in a more general way, taming is a kind of close interaction, and we are responsible for our interaction, sa much as they effect others
Bertram Jacobus: hello brian
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Brian :)
Bruce Mowbray: Hey ya, Brian.
Eliza Madrigal: is cultivation taming? can we cultivate and leave it wild too? :)
Eliza Madrigal: it (all)
Bruce Mowbray: Mmmmm. . . don't think so, Eliza. . . although maybe.
Eliza Madrigal: 'take only what is given' seems a version of that...
Brian Roop: hello everyone
oO0Oo Resident: hey Brian
Bruce Mowbray: In every tamed Wild Man there remain pockets of wildness. . . (which, I think, is true of all of us).
Bruce Mowbray loves his pockets of wildness. . . every one of them.
Brian Roop: is this not one of them?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bruce Mowbray: This is one of the tame ones. . . but. . .
Bruce Mowbray: there are others.
Brian Roop: bruce has gone batty again
Eliza Madrigal grins at Batty Bruce
oO0Oo Resident: the eye od PaB sees all
oO0Oo Resident: the wild eye
Brian Roop wonders if the bat can swim
Fefonz Quan: in a bath? :)
Brian Roop: in the fountain
Fefonz Quan: brb
Bruce Mowbray: ok, fef.
oO0Oo Resident: kk Fefonz
Brian Roop: oops, inner child time
oO0Oo Resident: covert inner child ops
Bertram Jacobus: oh :-)
Bertram Jacobus: intersting ... ;-)
oO0Oo Resident: oops ~ ops
oO0Oo Resident: ops ~ oops
Eliza Madrigal: :)
oO0Oo Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: I'm rememberin the role of the snake that story (The Little Prince). . . for those who arrived late.
oO0Oo Resident: hey Korel
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Korel :)
Korel Laloix: osiyo
Bruce Mowbray thinks Brian's inner child is cooler than his own.

Bruce Mowbray: Talking about responsibillity for whatever one has tamed.
Korel Laloix: I am pathalogically timely in RL.. not sure why not in SL though.
Brian Roop: you have tamed that ocd behaviour here
Bruce Mowbray: wakaon
Korel Laloix: lol.. I wish.
Bruce Mowbray: wakaoff
Korel Laloix: Being rediculously type A has some practical advantages in SL.
Korel Laloix: and in RL.
Korel Laloix: But in RL it can be a bit of a pain especially in a relationship.
Bertram Jacobus: ty bruce ... ;-)

Korel Laloix smiles
Bertram Jacobus: wakaon
Bertram Jacobus: wakaoff
Brian Roop: is a waka waka those things that made all the noise at the world cup?
Bruce Mowbray: In a relationship, isn't mutual taming part of the deal?
Korel Laloix: I think that was something like vavzula
Bruce Mowbray: yes, it was vavula. . .
Bruce Mowbray: (I have that one too.)
Brian Roop: oh yeah
Korel Laloix: Probably bruce.
Brian Roop: waka on
Korel Laloix: But I have never been accused of being tamable... smiles

Korel Laloix: This lack of global warming winter has really been crappy.
Bertram Jacobus: no noo - i think, it´s the sun ... ;-)
Bertram Jacobus: and others ... :-)
--BELL--
Fefonz Quan: Sun - are you responsible for it?
Bertram Jacobus: she wrote "brb" before ...
Bruce Mowbray wonders -- has Sun tamed global warming and is therefore responsible for it?
Bertram Jacobus: sry folks - i leave - tyvm for the session ! :-)
Bruce Mowbray: Byeeeeee, Bert!

Korel Laloix: Global warming is waaaay underrated.
Korel Laloix: LIsten... everyone.... go buy not one but three SUVs please.
oO0Oo Resident waves and smiles at bert
Brian Roop: or overrated, depending on who u talk to
Korel Laloix: I want the temp up 5 degrees by the end of the decade.
Korel Laloix: Start burning.
Bruce Mowbray: Put those SUV's on Korel's credit card, please.
oO0Oo Resident: sensational..... Korel
Sunshine Vayandar: back ;)
oO0Oo Resident: wb Sun
Korel Laloix: That will work, just not my AmEx... lol
Sunshine Vayandar: ty ;)
Korel Laloix: I keep looking for a job inspecting saunas on the equator.... but haved not found that yet.
Bruce Mowbray: There are now studies being conducted about why folks deny global warming . . .
Brian Roop: there are studies for everything
Korel Laloix: One of the best reasons to deny it is that the math isnt there.
oO0Oo Resident: not just to get attention?
Brian Roop: yesterday a big scientific argument for the earth being the center of the universe appeared on my FB page
Korel Laloix: The realtiy is that the science has been so politiciezed that you can't get an actual picture.
Brian Roop: supposedly scientific
Bruce Mowbray: If anyone cares to hear a really intelligent viewpoint -- and can stay open-minded, here's an excellent one:
Korel Laloix: Please.
Bruce Mowbray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CXtx...embedded#at=68
Korel Laloix: THere is that term "open-minded" again.
Korel Laloix: lol
Bruce Mowbray wonders why folks are giving death threats to scientists who are saying Global Warming is real.
Korel Laloix: Teh opostie is true as well.
Korel Laloix: Oponents are getting death threats as well.
