As an individual I am disgusted at the slaughter of such gentle and endangered creatures as whales for no good or necessary reason. As a scientist, I am offended in the extreme that such despicable practices are being undertaken, albeit falsely, in the name of science. The Japanese government continues to whale illegally in Australian waters and, as they surely don’t think we buy the research excuse, must only continue to do so with absolute indifference and disregard for the opinion of many Australians and global citizens. What is equally disgraceful is that the Australian government stands back “cuckold-like” and let’s them do it. Their complicity in this disgrace makes them almost as guilty… There is no mark-up on this image…I refuse to make any money out of whaling.

Regret is a Storm Word
by mstraceheavy-lidded and craving another and another and another / wild orbital swing, at the center of you.
Installment #1 of 3 in my Storm series Again, all the odds inside me at war over each other. The ever-strengthening need to just get laid…with the need to wake up next to someone who gives a shit. There is a harvest moon tonight. The moon will lay big and full and orange in the night sky. Wolves come out on nights like this, I’m told. Given how I’m feeling of late, I think its best I lock my doors and chain myself to a heavy piece of furniture.

A composite artwork depicting the despair of a humpback whale while attempting in vain to escape the pain and agony inflected upon it by modern military sonar (LFAS). / / I hope to make aware with this artwork, an issue that is usually overlooked or ignored when considering and discussing the efforts to protect all the beautiful mammals of the deep. The attention on marine mammal slaughter is too often only focused on the ongoing brutality of Japanese whaling vessels, this due to the graphic nature of the images of the senseless whale slaughter. / / But ponder this for a moment if you will… what fate is worse than death for a whale? / / I feel the answer to this is, when a whale is suffering in such utter and complete agony as it’s own blood boils, that it chooses to fling itself from it’s ocean home and onto a beach to die slowly from dehydration… choosing to die in this manner, rather than endure another moment of torture from the man-made source of it’s agony. / / How incredible the whale’s pain must be… for a whale to choose suicide as a better option. / / PLEASE, take a moment to read the accompanying article by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) that I have linked below to accompany this artwork. It will help to educate and enlighten you about this important issue regarding protecting the whales and other marine mammals from military LFAS type sonar. I think you will be quite surprised just how dangerous and violently harmful LFAS type sonar actually is! / / NRDC – Protecting Whales from Dangerous Sonar / http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/marine/sonar.asp / / After you have read this article, then please take another moment to voice your opposition to using LFAS type sonar directly to the US Secretary of the Navy, the Honorable Donald Winter, using this easy and convenient online form provided by the NRDC. Stand up and let your voice make a difference! / / Tell the Navy to stop harming whales with high-intensity sonar / http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/nrdcaction_092506_a / / All my own proceeds from any sale of this artwork are being donated to the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund. The Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC) is a New York City-based, non-profit, non-partisan international environmental advocacy group, with offices in Washington, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Beijing. Founded in 1970, NRDC today has 1.2 million members and online activists nationwide, and a staff of more than 300 scientists, attorneys, and other specialists. / / Natural Resources Defense Council / http://www.nrdc.org/ / / NRDC Action Fund / http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/ / / Now a few words about the details of the artwork. Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro 8 were used to create this composite artwork. The artwork is a composite of two PD images, ironically provided by two of the governmental agencies that are contributing to the issue depicted in the artwork. / / The submarine image source is a PD image courtesy of the US Department of Defense – DefenseLINK Multimedia Gallery. The whale image source is a public-domain image courtesy of NOAA Photo Library. I have provided links below for both source images. / / Submarine Source Image / http://www.dodmedia.osd.mil/Assets/Still/2007/Navy/DN-SD-07-28560.JPEG / / Whale Source Image / http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/bigs/sanc0601.jpg / / I hope that both the artwork and accompanying article will enlighten you, and help you gain a new found perspective, on just one of the many issues that are currently threatening the existence of our marine mammal friends. / / Thanks for the visit! / / Art4Earth /

This harpoon was made from a deer antler then tied with length of string made from the muscle ligaments of animals. It was fitted into the end of a wooden shaft and when used it came loose from the shaft and the Indians held the string to retrieve their catch. These were probably used during all periods of Indian history but this is probably from the Mississippian period due to the condition it is in. American Indian archeology has been divided into basically four time periods by archeologists – The Paleo Period – Prehistoric to 20,000 years BC – Archaic Period – 20,000 to 10,000 years BC – Woodland Period 10,000 BC to 1000 AD and the Mississippian Period – 1000 AD to 1600 AD The Paleo period was primarily found in the American southwest because of the cold that existed over much of the north part of America at that time. The later Paleo and other periods spread across the entire continent. The woodland period was when the Indians started growing crops and staying in one location instead of traveling and hunting all the time. Their stone work was of a much poorer quality but they started making pottery from clay. They tempered their pottery with sand so it didn’t last like the later period pottery did. During the Mississippian period the American Indians began to come together into tribes from their former existence as extended family groups.
