My bad. I love the verse but translating mandarin would only showoff my lazy side. If Mary Parent has moved on then you can write to media productions at the same address. believe it or not I've watched SERENITY 9 times but only watched it with josh wheaton cmentary last night gives A cool perspective on simple shots we take for granted while we watch but not so simple after all.

*the bun dashes in*
More strawbs! More Milk!
*hollering off stage right*
More chairs, Semiramis!
Voice OS: Wrong play!
bun: Sorry. My bad. Y'all dig in and
slurp 'em up. We'll figure out a way for
you to sit, eventually.

out2theblack, I'd love to share your redtail
story with some folk in the SF Bay Area who
are into raptors, Falcons in particular, and
are currently watching this year's Peregrine Falcon nesting.

Share away , bun !
I'm into the raptors , also ! Occasionally , I see Kestrels , frequently Ospreys , and know where some redtails hunt...Spotted a Bald Eagle nest while airborne recently . Plan to photograph it this spring...

The raptors show the sailplane pilots where there is good lift...I wonder now if it also works the other way 'round...We have at times seen these birds join a thermal where there's a gaggle of sailplanes already circling...

I've got an Osprey story , too . For another time ...

Never gathered that you were in SFO area...Used to live in Vacaville , back when there was a glider field there...Have friends in Calistoga and at other sites in NorCal and Nevada...

Did you see 'Zodiac' ? Brought back some memories of old times , despite the fact it was also morbid and creepifyin' . Good film . Longish , but fascinating .

I'm rather South of the Bay Area, but have
history, family, and very good friends there.
One of the biggest treats on the Net the last
two years has been the Falcon cam (funded by
PG&E!!) which watched the high-ledge scrape of
George and Gracie, a pair which has produced
several young.
There's a big group of human observers who work
and/or lunch in SF's urban canyons and post at
a Yahoo! site.
This year our G & G have decided to set up their
scrape inside the structure of the Bay Bridge,
where no camera can be placed. Some of the
Falcon nuts got into kayaks and went to look,
nearly getting run over by Bay boat traffic.
If birds and people all survive, it'll be fun,
even without the cam.

Am waiting to see "Zodiac." That will bring back
a lot of memories, for sure. Creepy.

Whoa...

Good story...I've heard of those two...

I used to watch a cam that was in NYC...

One of the best glider pilots is a falconer also...

Fascinating stuff...I'm really going to go to 'falcon camp' one of these days...

When you get to see Zodiac , check out the Transamerica building time-lapse...It's great...

A lot of SFO in films lately...The 'Happyness' film with Will Smith , also...

"Zodiac" was good, very creepy.

Hello all, first time posting on a board EVER!!

I thought I should support one of my favorite shows so here I am.

I am male, 19.

I am currently applying to different culinary schools, haven't been accepted yet. (pray,pray,pray)

zerokiryu!!!!!!!!
Welcome home!!!!!!!!
You're #25791 aboard our shiny ship and if
you're of a mind to help out in the galley
we'll be right pleased to get you an apron.
Brought your own knives, did you?

How exciting this is. First post.
My first post (not here) I was completely
ignored. Then (same board) a couple of
days later I was flamed beyond belief.
Neither of these things should happen to a
new member, so we here try to spot the
newbs and put up a nice warm browncoaty
greeting.

Somewhere around here is a nice lady named
FollowMal who will offer you a virtual
browncoat if she notices you. And there's
DonCoat, who has a supply of already-loved
coats, just as good, with histories...

Me, I point all arriving personnel toward
the strawberries we try to keep on hand at
all times. Right over there. And beside
them is a jug of Mudder's Milk, the virtual
no-hangover kind.

Then we go up to the galley to question the
buffet and check out the ice-planets in the
cooler.

Please don't step on ShipsCat or into her
dish. She'll help you with scraps if you're
doing fish-flavored protein-molding.

We'll light a few candles for your culinary
school application, too. Let us know what
happens.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, strawberries.

I did bring my own knives and I'm happy to help.

I guess I should explain my name, it's kinda wierd.

I had been using zero for awhile, and added kiryu when I read "Vampire Knight".

I liked his gun.

I'll let you know when I get my letters.

Welcome home, Shukes! Strawberries right over
here by the weight bench and the crate of Milk.

And then upstairs to the galley.

Last year we held a crush -- wild party -- and
mangled a large number of hodgeberries, whose
juice we put to ferment right on the ship.
We are needing personnel to help bottle the
stuff -- would you like to volunteer?

[bold]zerokiryu,[/bold]I have to ask if you were
inspired by Anthony Bourdain. I hear there is an
increase in the number of aspiring chefs since
Mad Tony made his debut.

still keeping those candles lit for you...
