AMAZING Dolphins!
Can you imagine being caught in a Dolphin stampede?
Apparently this is Garden Cove, Placentia Bay, Newfoundland ...
They had to keep cutting the motor in the boat for fear of striking a dolphin.
What a beautiful sight!

Fourth Orca Dies At SeaWorld This Year
6 October 2010
A 25 year old female orca called Kalina died at SeaWorld Orlando on Monday. Kalina is the fourth orca to die at SeaWorld parks this year – a shameful record that highlights the difficulty of keeping these remarkable animals in captivity.
Kalina was the first orca born in captivity.

Sumar the Orca, dies ...
One of the problems for orcas in captivity is that they tend to die young. So it was sad, but not surprising, to hear of the death of 12-year old Sumar at SeaWorld San Diego earlier this week.

Your Daily Groove – Life Without Debt?
by Steve McAllister on August 10, 2010
“Debt, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave-driver.” – Ambrose Bierce
Although the concept of credit has been sold, and continues to be sold, as one of the bastions of American freedom, it is an unfortunate fact that the opposite is true. In this culture of materialism, we are given the liberty to possess whatever stuff we want as long as we agree to the interest, fees, and monthly installments, at the end of which our initial purchase is often already in a landfill or replaced with the latest upgrade. And yet we toil, stress, and clamor to make our payments and stay on the creditor’s good side lest he deny us more credit for which we can toil, stress, and clamor. It is a sad reflection upon us that many consider this “the American way.”
But what if we were to redefine our freedom? What if, instead of considering our freedom as the opportunity to possess whatever we want, we consider the freedom to not possess it? What if we could learn to appreciate things where they are and not have to bring them into our lives? What if we shirked the responsibility of ownership and opted for the liberty of unattachment? What if we forsook our penchant for materialism in order to free ourselves from the chains of debt?
Could our economy still thrive without all of the stuff?
