Dash Earthboy: but Imprudence is only one that works on my Ubuntu 64 install on Intel graphics
Lulu Lacrima: Well, I'm still happy with the viewer I'm using....I find that my computer itself makes for a better sl experience

Be Ewing: All - Hi :)
Be Ewing: What kind of play discoveries are we making today?
Yakuzza Lethecus: hello be
Dash Earthboy: reminiscing :)
Be Ewing: :)
Lulu Lacrima: I've been hit by a heart emitting pandabear
Be Ewing: Lulu -- that can do it :)
--BELL--
Be Ewing: A panda bear has a way of softening everyone up
Dash Earthboy: *twiddles
Lulu Lacrima giggles involuntarily again
Wol Euler smiles.
Zen Arado: they got a new pair in Scotland
Zen Arado: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/dec/04/giant-pandas-land-uk
Lulu Lacrima: hello zen, I didn't see you come in
Be Ewing: yes they did :)
Lulu Lacrima: a new pair of what?
Lulu Lacrima: pandas?
Be Ewing: panda bears
Zen Arado: yes
Dash Earthboy: panda pairs :)
Zen Arado: friends of Fc
Be Ewing: heart melters of the Universe
Zen Arado: Hi Lulu:)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Zen, Zon, and Be
Lulu Lacrima: they're so awfully cute, but I hear they can be kinda, eh, bitey, in rl
Wol Euler: "The Scottish government and tourism officials hope the animals' presence will boost the economy" oh dear :)
Arisia Vita: that goes for some puppy dogs too...
Dash Earthboy: only when they're not dancing Lulu :)
Lulu Lacrima: arisia, you make an excellent point
SophiaSharon Larnia: they have to eat so much, i bet they are bitey.
Be Ewing: Lulu -- perhaps they are just mildly frustrated
Lulu Lacrima: or emitting hearts, dash
Be Ewing: Personally I would not do well with being put on exhibition and have oh so many humans fuss over me
SophiaSharon Larnia: nods
Be Ewing: I'd prefer to be in nature -- even if it meant I had to live a shorter life
Dash Earthboy: *looks at the aquarium
Lulu Lacrima: Be, would you prefer to go extinct?
Zen Arado: 'Although they live separately (pandas are solitary animals) they can see each other from their outdoor areas, and the indoor enclosure is linked by a "tunnel of love", which will be opened for the few days each year when Tian Tian is in heat. '
Zen Arado: :)
Be Ewing: Lulu - yes actually -- if the only way I could survive would be on permanent exhibition
Qt Core: for pandas born in a zoo is a zoo nature ?
Be Ewing: Qt -- that is vrey good question
Lulu Lacrima: well, there was a very successful condor breeding program in the US
Bleu Oleander: all species go extinct eventually?
Lulu Lacrima: they were down to about 20 condors
Wol Euler nods to Be
Be Ewing: but methinks a panda -- even when born in zoo -- knows somehow it does not belong there
Lulu Lacrima: and they had to be bred in captivity, and eventually they were able to accommodate them to living a "normal" wild condor life
Lulu Lacrima: and now they are no longer on the endangered species list
Dash Earthboy: maybe only the college-educated ones Be :)
Be Ewing: also I personally believe in transition of soul/spirit -- so going extinct is not a big thing for me at all
Qt Core: but it would ne raised with much care to make him/her able tu survive in "natural" nature
Mickorod Renard: imagines a Panda in a kilt
Be Ewing: :)
Wol Euler grins.
Lulu Lacrima: Qt, it was raised quite carefully to avoid issues like imprinting on humans
Wol Euler: eating vegetarian haggis
Mickorod Renard: he he
Be Ewing: well we are getting ready to clone a mastadon somewhere true?
Lulu Lacrima: they were fed by condor puppets, for example
Zen Arado: EDinburgh pandas
Lulu Lacrima: ewuuwwww haggis
Zen Arado: not yer common pandas
Lulu Lacrima: sorry Wol, but gross...how about some delicious tripe?
Wol Euler: I did say "vegetarian" :)
Dash Earthboy: speaking of tripe...
Dash Earthboy: onigokko
Wol Euler: hehehehe
Lulu Lacrima: wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Mickorod Renard: yipeeeeeee
SophiaSharon Larnia: halppp
Be Ewing: too funny :)
Wol Euler: I'll give you one when this is over, Be
FcSeeker Resident: thinks so hardly...
Dash Earthboy: stop
Be Ewing: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: happy friday ;p
Lulu Lacrima: now that was great :)
Be Ewing: is anyone following the mastadon cloning effort?
SophiaSharon Larnia: is this pavilion usually full at this time?
Lulu Lacrima: Be, I've heard about it but don't know any details
Mickorod Renard: not me Be
SophiaSharon Larnia: from DNA?
Be Ewing: true
Bleu Oleander: yes I've read about it
FcSeeker Resident: might this little panda be usual or not usual...
Lulu Lacrima: a real Jurassic park-like endeavor
Wol Euler: "full" is a flexible ternm, but I'd say yses
Wol Euler: *yes
Be Ewing: found bone with preserved DNA marrow or something similar
SophiaSharon Larnia: k thanks
Be Ewing: reportedly going to let an elephant carry it in gestation
Wol Euler: yes, a baby that was deep-frozen and unusually well preserv3ed
Mickorod Renard: I might actualy go in the oposite direction, I dont fancy bumping into one of those
FcSeeker Resident: but what I know is that I LOVE banboo and have got it to eat so huuuuuuuuge much late weeks that never before
SophiaSharon Larnia: grins
FcSeeker Resident: in RL I mean
Wol Euler smiles.
Be Ewing: :)
Lulu Lacrima: there aren't too many bamboo forest groves left
Lulu Lacrima: better get eating

FcSeeker Resident: thankfuly so much that I've got and there's new can waiting to be open when the first one is finnished
Lulu Lacrima: I had no idea bamboo came in cans
Lulu Lacrima pops the top of her faux draught guinness
SophiaSharon Larnia: ha
Wol Euler grins.
Lulu Lacrima: really, these cartrtidges were an excellent invention
Lulu Lacrima pours a decent-looking pint
Wol Euler goes to get some more tea

FcSeeker Resident: awww
Wol Euler nods.

Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: i know i can reread (and i have) it, but still, the first time :-)
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: it is something special, not knowing how it will turn out
Wol Euler: I remember how shocked and afraid (for them) I was when Gandalf fell off the bridge...
Wol Euler wonders where the conversation went ...
Dash Earthboy: *been having system problems
Wol Euler: awwww
Qt Core: on the back cover there was written something like this: people are divided in two, those that have read LOTR and the hobbit and people that haven't... yet (this probaby started today's reaction)
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: today i went wondow shopping and as always i ended up spending most of the time in the bookshop (and incredibly without buying anything)
Wol Euler: O.O
Wol Euler: but you had a lot of fun.
Wol Euler: I bet.

Wol Euler: nice, that warms my heart ;)
Qt Core: the trick is not being aseptic and leaving some book not in perfect alignment ;-)

Archmage Atlantis: Yes......bamboo is interesting

Archmage Atlantis: The most fun thing about being in the far south of the US is that folks from colder climates don't realizse the re are tropical and subtropical grasses
Dash Earthboy: yah
Qt Core: yeah, we have only green live grass and maroon dead grass ;-)
Archmage Atlantis: It's the British Isles thing,,,,,,,,,bentgrass as a lawn....becomes KY bluegrass in the US

Archmage Atlantis: And really the first lawns were just mowed pasture
Archmage Atlantis: :_) Dash
FcSeeker Resident: need to go

Qt Core: "classic" overfishing ?
Dash Earthboy: oh drat
--BELL--
Dash Earthboy: same as tuna
Dash Earthboy: what's left? smoked herring?
Qt Core: i'm more a salmon guy, even raw
Dash Earthboy: went to get some catfish earlier but the price made me lose my appetite
Dash Earthboy: salmon is good!
Qt Core: i find swordfish quite dry
Dash Earthboy: i like to catch it and have it right beside the stream
Dash Earthboy: swordfish dry? maybe it's the cooking?
Qt Core: whatever you'll catch around here would probably glow... or ignite
Dash Earthboy: yikes!
Dash Earthboy: i think i saw that on the Simpsons ;)
Qt Core: we had a big oil spill on one of the river near here a few months ago, not even oil or gasoline but production garbages
Dash Earthboy: dang
Dash Earthboy: sounds like the Cuyahoga River awhile back
Qt Core: sadly the river was just back to good health (as a ricer could be in an overpopulated area)
Wol Euler: my dears, I must go, falling asleep in my chair
Wol Euler: goodnight, take care, be happy and safe
Qt Core: bye Wol, sleep well
Dash Earthboy: g'nite Wol...sleep sweet :)
Dash Earthboy: i've been concerned about the e-waste contaminating so much water in India
Dash Earthboy: here in Georgia they still are letting us dump motherboards and all in the landfill...such a sharme
Dash Earthboy: laptop batteries are not good fertilizer
Dash Earthboy: hey Korel
Dash Earthboy: discussing environmental concerns again :)
Korel Laloix: Heya
Qt Core: many municipalities here have "ecologic islands", where you have to take your special garbages, from electric appliances to mowed grass (if over certains quantities)
Qt Core: hi korel
Dash Earthboy: but i'm being called to supper (can you also hear clams calling? ;))
Qt Core: oil, ink cartridges and such

--BELL--
Sylectra Darwin: how long were the meditation sessions ?
Paradise Tennant: not that long maybe 10 to 20 minutes with discussion afterwards
Paradise Tennant: we sat around and had some very good talks much like here on a wide range of topics just in person
Sylectra Darwin: how wonderful
Paradise Tennant: I had met Yaku , Wol and Bertrum in Malta so was nice to see them again :)
Sylectra Darwin: Did you find it was easier to have the talks after meditating?
Paradise Tennant: yes .. we lit some candles .. because I find it much easier to meditate if I can focus on a flame ..
Sylectra Darwin: I find that helps too
Paradise Tennant: Bertrum talked about a number of Tibetan canons he has been studying
Sylectra Darwin: Or watching the wind in the high tree branches
Paradise Tennant: we talked of trying to find a temple to do a meditation in and ended up in a bedoin tent in museum instead :)

stevenaia Michinaga: was he short and sqaure in RL?
Paradise Tennant: I think there is llike 500 pictures :) boxy was snapping them non stop so you will be able to see .. just how much we were able to cram in - in such a short time :)

Paradise Tennant: yes so dark .. so early
Calvino Rabeni: It's a bit chilly, I might put on some movement-inspiring music
Paradise Tennant: we had our first snowfall today .. big fat flakes .. one landed on my lip .. like winter's first kiss .. ouch I am getting poetic lol
Calvino Rabeni: Big old drafty house, no central heat
Paradise Tennant: fireplace ?
Calvino Rabeni: Yes but I use it for storage :)
Calvino Rabeni: Though, maybe those things burn okay
Paradise Tennant: smiles .. might be an idea nothing more cheery on grey days than a fire going :) and the kettle on :)
Calvino Rabeni: Yes, I've got that going, just sat down with it
Calvino Rabeni: A decaf mocha
Paradise Tennant: smiles hmm I am levitating it seems
Calvino Rabeni: I noticed it too
Paradise Tennant: I am just finishing a hot chocolate ..
Paradise Tennant: which is my favourite winter drink I think
Calvino Rabeni: I have it every now and again
Paradise Tennant: always nice to come home from a trip .. almost as though it is sensory overload and somehow being home calms everything down :)
Paradise Tennant: feels normal again :)
Calvino Rabeni: Thinking you'd be well greeted by the canine einstein
Paradise Tennant: nice to be liberated from the daily grind ..though .. out and about doing interesting things :) makes you feel you are living :)
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: would you like to do a mediation cal ?
Paradise Tennant: a short one perhaps >
Calvino Rabeni: yes, that sounds good
Paradise Tennant: ok let me light candle do we want to focus on anything ? thinking for me perhaps thanks .. would be appropriate :)
Paradise Tennant: would you like to gong ?
Calvino Rabeni: just a suggestion, to focus on open space

Calvino Rabeni: Hello Lucinda!
Paradise Tennant: hiya Lucinda , Bertrum .. Observerm :) nice to see you three :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Calvino Rabeni: Bert, observer :)
Bertrum Resident: Hi.
Lucinda Lavender: nice
Paradise Tennant: we were meditating at Cal's suggestion on open space :)
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: feeling open at the moment :)
Calvino Rabeni: My attention went to the far distance and I noticed a flock of migrating Canada geese in the distance
Calvino Rabeni: I like that they are nocturnal flyers
Paradise Tennant: smart birds :)
Paradise Tennant: actually there are some great documentaries on them .. their migrations are a real feat
Calvino Rabeni: I was at a lake recently at night and there was a large number of ducks gathered there floating ... so it seems they are nocturnal too
Calvino Rabeni: I think perhaps they gather into larger groups at night, their small groups coming together
Paradise Tennant: yes there is safety in numbers
Paradise Tennant: in the harbour some night is looks like almost a big blanket of ducks on the water .. all bobbing . along
Lucinda Lavender: amazes me...
Paradise Tennant: watched a family of them grow up one summer ..
Paradise Tennant: they have sense of humor
Paradise Tennant: they play games .. hide and seek with mom
Paradise Tennant: one hopping game on the steps ..
Paradise Tennant: have not been able to eat duck since cannot eat anything with a sense of humor
Paradise Tennant: you must find that with your chickens lucinda ? no ?
Lucinda Lavender: a;0
Calvino Rabeni: happy as a clam :)
Lucinda Lavender: have not noticed humor with them but...I heard about rats today
Lucinda Lavender: now have cat on lap
Lucinda Lavender: hard to type
Calvino Rabeni: yes the rats are teaching the scientists more lately than they used to
Lucinda Lavender: the rats have empathy
Lucinda Lavender: oops
Calvino Rabeni: oops?
Lucinda Lavender: was trying to put a description over my head..unsuccessfully and started to edit my clothing unexpectedly
Calvino Rabeni: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...euroscience%29
Calvino Rabeni: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...1208141933.htm
Calvino Rabeni: the second one is more directly related to the experiment I think you heard about
Calvino Rabeni: Animal emotion studies are completely acceptable now, whereas years ago they were not allowable
Lucinda Lavender: reading:)
Paradise Tennant: yes .. picked up a sick pigeon this summer .. another pigeon was hopping up and down beside it ..clearly worried and wondering ..
Paradise Tennant: I suspect every living sentient being .. has empathy .. has emotion ..
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: this story gave me a new view about rats...which in light of reading hte nutcracker story to my children has been a part of daily life recently
Lucinda Lavender: and may be something new to say
Lucinda Lavender: I have read several versions and tried to simplify the story a bit
Calvino Rabeni: that's interesting, what's the gist of the story?
Lucinda Lavender: in that story the rat fights the nutcracker and gets knocked out by the girls shoe being thrown at him...then nutcracker turns into a prince
Lucinda Lavender: the interesting part to me is that in the girls real life after being given the nutcracker...jealous brother injures it...and she goes into a dream seeing the story unfold
Lucinda Lavender: wakes up with nutcracker beside her
Lucinda Lavender: and so there was much to talk about regarding waking up
Calvino Rabeni: that was an interesting part of the story ?
Lucinda Lavender: and remembering the vivid stories of the dream
Lucinda Lavender: waking from dreams...interesting...how real life can figure in...
Lucinda Lavender: I was able to ask...have you ever remembered a vivid dream...?
Paradise Tennant: smiles was listening to a dream a friend of mine had when she was a child .. she use to be running away from someone and when she really had to she could run up into the air to get away :)
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Paradise Tennant: like the idea of being able to run up into the sky :)
Calvino Rabeni: nods, that's a good trick
Calvino Rabeni: It can be used to tell a lucid dream from the waking state
Calvino Rabeni: If I can stand on a cube of air, I take it as a sign
Calvino Rabeni: that I'm dreaming
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Calvino Rabeni: Last night I had a dream there was a guy who had a motorcycle like mine ... he parked and then while he was off it, it drove around in a loop by itself waiting for him... at the time it seemed perfectly reasonable
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: magical...like in the Makah story of Qweti who rode in a boat Upidawash that moved by it self
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps you are magic too
Lucinda Lavender: special skills
Calvino Rabeni: like .. hmmm, mind going in circles? :)
Paradise Tennant: everything moves in circles it seems :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
--BELL--
Bertrum Resident: Night everyone.
Paradise Tennant: smiles and get up to get the dog a biscuit to buy 15 mor minutes before the whining becomes a crescendo :)
Paradise Tennant: nite nite bertrum ;)
