I don't want to flood this comm with whaling issues because that's not all that's important....BUT-- one more link to an EXCELLENT article on long term aspect of the anti-whaling battle. http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/nature/the-big-question-have-the-japanese-seen-off-their-opponents-in-the-battle-over-whaling-779104.html

Sea Shepherd Getting Ready to Return to the Whale Wars The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin is scheduled to depart from Melbourne on February 14th to return to the Southern Ocean to resume the pursuit...to stop whaling activities for another three to four weeks and to keep the Japanese whalers on the run, wasting fuel and further exposing their illegal poaching activities to the rest of the world.

Here is a photo journal of my night at this star-studded, amazing event. My dear friend Telkena from Romania was supposed to be at the event, but she is ill, and couldn't make it. So I took a few...people were wonderful, including the celebrities, and the evening was fantastic in general. It was a very worthy cause, and Captain Watson and the rest of Sea Shepherd have my un-altering support

...from SOMEone that we need to post our desktops...so...being that it's always about AT anyway... Here is mine ATM. *swoons, smirks, thinks of AT on SGA tonight, swoons some more, and returns you to your normal programming* OK...got the SSCS thing tomorrow...so if I'm on at all this weekend it'll be late tomorrow from my hotel room, or late Sunday from home.
