chapter i.into the primitive "old longings nomadic leap,chafing at custom's chain; again from its brumal sleepwakens the ferine strain." buck did not read the newspapers, or hewould have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from puget sound to san diego. because men, groping in the arcticdarkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportationcompanies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the northland.

these men wanted dogs, and the dogs theywanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats toprotect them from the frost. buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissedsanta clara valley. judge miller's place, it was called. it stood back from the road, half hiddenamong the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool verandathat ran around its four sides. the house was approached by gravelleddriveways which wound about through wide- spreading lawns and under the interlacingboughs of tall poplars. at the rear things were on even a morespacious scale than at the front.

there were great stables, where a dozengrooms and boys held forth, rows of vine- clad servants' cottages, an endless andorderly array of outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berrypatches. then there was the pumping plant for theartesian well, and the big cement tank where judge miller's boys took theirmorning plunge and kept cool in the hot afternoon. and over this great demesne buck ruled.here he was born, and here he had lived the four years of his life. it was true, there were other dogs, therecould not but be other dogs on so vast a

place, but they did not count. they came and went, resided in the populouskennels, or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of toots,the japanese pug, or ysabel, the mexican hairless,--strange creatures that rarely put nose out of doors or set foot toground. on the other hand, there were the foxterriers, a score of them at least, who yelped fearful promises at toots and ysabellooking out of the windows at them and protected by a legion of housemaids armedwith brooms and mops. but buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog.

the whole realm was his. he plunged into the swimming tank or wenthunting with the judge's sons; he escorted mollie and alice, the judge's daughters, onlong twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the judge's feet before the roaring library fire; he carriedthe judge's grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded theirfootsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and theberry patches. among the terriers he stalked imperiously,and toots and ysabel he utterly ignored,

for he was king,--king over all creeping,crawling, flying things of judge miller's place, humans included. his father, elmo, a huge st. bernard, hadbeen the judge's inseparable companion, and buck bid fair to follow in the way of hisfather. he was not so large,--he weighed only onehundred and forty pounds,--for his mother, shep, had been a scotch shepherd dog. nevertheless, one hundred and forty pounds,to which was added the dignity that comes of good living and universal respect,enabled him to carry himself in right royal fashion.

during the four years since his puppyhoodhe had lived the life of a sated aristocrat; he had a fine pride in himself,was even a trifle egotistical, as country gentlemen sometimes become because of theirinsular situation. but he had saved himself by not becoming amere pampered house-dog. hunting and kindred outdoor delights hadkept down the fat and hardened his muscles; and to him, as to the cold-tubbing races,the love of water had been a tonic and a health preserver. and this was the manner of dog buck was inthe fall of 1897, when the klondike strike dragged men from all the world into thefrozen north.

but buck did not read the newspapers, andhe did not know that manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was an undesirableacquaintance. manuel had one besetting sin. he loved to play chinese lottery.also, in his gambling, he had one besetting weakness--faith in a system; and this madehis damnation certain. for to play a system requires money, whilethe wages of a gardener's helper do not lap over the needs of a wife and numerousprogeny. the judge was at a meeting of the raisingrowers' association, and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club, on thememorable night of manuel's treachery.

no one saw him and buck go off through theorchard on what buck imagined was merely a stroll. and with the exception of a solitary man,no one saw them arrive at the little flag station known as college park.this man talked with manuel, and money chinked between them. "you might wrap up the goods before youdeliver 'm," the stranger said gruffly, and manuel doubled a piece of stout rope aroundbuck's neck under the collar. "twist it, an' you'll choke 'm plentee,"said manuel, and the stranger grunted a ready affirmative.buck had accepted the rope with quiet

dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance:but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom thatoutreached his own. but when the ends of the rope were placedin the stranger's hands, he growled menacingly. he had merely intimated his displeasure, inhis pride believing that to intimate was to command.but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. in quick rage he sprang at the man, who methim halfway, grappled him close by the

throat, and with a deft twist threw himover on his back. then the rope tightened mercilessly, whilebuck struggled in a fury, his tongue lolling out of his mouth and his greatchest panting futilely. never in all his life had he been so vilelytreated, and never in all his life had he been so angry. but his strength ebbed, his eyes glazed,and he knew nothing when the train was flagged and the two men threw him into thebaggage car. the next he knew, he was dimly aware thathis tongue was hurting and that he was being jolted along in some kind of aconveyance.

the hoarse shriek of a locomotive whistlinga crossing told him where he was. he had travelled too often with the judgenot to know the sensation of riding in a baggage car. he opened his eyes, and into them came theunbridled anger of a kidnapped king. the man sprang for his throat, but buck wastoo quick for him. his jaws closed on the hand, nor did theyrelax till his senses were choked out of him once more. "yep, has fits," the man said, hiding hismangled hand from the baggageman, who had been attracted by the sounds of struggle."i'm takin' 'm up for the boss to 'frisco.

a crack dog-doctor there thinks that he cancure 'm." concerning that night's ride, the man spokemost eloquently for himself, in a little shed back of a saloon on the san franciscowater front. "all i get is fifty for it," he grumbled;"an' i wouldn't do it over for a thousand, cold cash." his hand was wrapped in a bloodyhandkerchief, and the right trouser leg was ripped from knee to ankle."how much did the other mug get?" the saloon-keeper demanded. "a hundred," was the reply."wouldn't take a sou less, so help me."

"that makes a hundred and fifty," thesaloon-keeper calculated; "and he's worth it, or i'm a squarehead." the kidnapper undid the bloody wrappingsand looked at his lacerated hand. "if i don't get the hydrophoby--""it'll be because you was born to hang," laughed the saloon-keeper. "here, lend me a hand before you pull yourfreight," he added. dazed, suffering intolerable pain fromthroat and tongue, with the life half throttled out of him, buck attempted toface his tormentors. but he was thrown down and chokedrepeatedly, till they succeeded in filing

the heavy brass collar from off his neck.then the rope was removed, and he was flung into a cagelike crate. there he lay for the remainder of the wearynight, nursing his wrath and wounded pride. he could not understand what it all meant.what did they want with him, these strange men? why were they keeping him pent up in thisnarrow crate? he did not know why, but he felt oppressedby the vague sense of impending calamity. several times during the night he sprang tohis feet when the shed door rattled open, expecting to see the judge, or the boys atleast.

but each time it was the bulging face ofthe saloon-keeper that peered in at him by the sickly light of a tallow candle. and each time the joyful bark that trembledin buck's throat was twisted into a savage growl. but the saloon-keeper let him alone, and inthe morning four men entered and picked up the crate. more tormentors, buck decided, for theywere evil-looking creatures, ragged and unkempt; and he stormed and raged at themthrough the bars. they only laughed and poked sticks at him,which he promptly assailed with his teeth

till he realized that that was what theywanted. whereupon he lay down sullenly and allowedthe crate to be lifted into a wagon. then he, and the crate in which he wasimprisoned, began a passage through many hands. clerks in the express office took charge ofhim; he was carted about in another wagon; a truck carried him, with an assortment ofboxes and parcels, upon a ferry steamer; he was trucked off the steamer into a great railway depot, and finally he was depositedin an express car. for two days and nights this express carwas dragged along at the tail of shrieking

locomotives; and for two days and nightsbuck neither ate nor drank. in his anger he had met the first advancesof the express messengers with growls, and they had retaliated by teasing him. when he flung himself against the bars,quivering and frothing, they laughed at him and taunted him. they growled and barked like detestabledogs, mewed, and flapped their arms and crowed. it was all very silly, he knew; buttherefore the more outrage to his dignity, and his anger waxed and waxed.

he did not mind the hunger so much, but thelack of water caused him severe suffering and fanned his wrath to fever-pitch. for that matter, high-strung and finelysensitive, the ill treatment had flung him into a fever, which was fed by theinflammation of his parched and swollen throat and tongue. he was glad for one thing: the rope was offhis neck. that had given them an unfair advantage;but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope aroundhis neck.

upon that he was resolved. for two days and nights he neither ate nordrank, and during those two days and nights of torment, he accumulated a fund of wraththat boded ill for whoever first fell foul of him. his eyes turned blood-shot, and he wasmetamorphosed into a raging fiend. so changed was he that the judge himselfwould not have recognized him; and the express messengers breathed with reliefwhen they bundled him off the train at seattle. four men gingerly carried the crate fromthe wagon into a small, high-walled back

yard. a stout man, with a red sweater that saggedgenerously at the neck, came out and signed the book for the driver. that was the man, buck divined, the nexttormentor, and he hurled himself savagely against the bars.the man smiled grimly, and brought a hatchet and a club. "you ain't going to take him out now?" thedriver asked. "sure," the man replied, driving thehatchet into the crate for a pry. there was an instantaneous scattering ofthe four men who had carried it in, and

from safe perches on top the wall theyprepared to watch the performance. buck rushed at the splintering wood,sinking his teeth into it, surging and wrestling with it. wherever the hatchet fell on the outside,he was there on the inside, snarling and growling, as furiously anxious to get outas the man in the red sweater was calmly intent on getting him out. "now, you red-eyed devil," he said, when hehad made an opening sufficient for the passage of buck's body.at the same time he dropped the hatchet and shifted the club to his right hand.

and buck was truly a red-eyed devil, as hedrew himself together for the spring, hair bristling, mouth foaming, a mad glitter inhis blood-shot eyes. straight at the man he launched his onehundred and forty pounds of fury, surcharged with the pent passion of twodays and nights. in mid air, just as his jaws were about toclose on the man, he received a shock that checked his body and brought his teethtogether with an agonizing clip. he whirled over, fetching the ground on hisback and side. he had never been struck by a club in hislife, and did not understand. with a snarl that was part bark and morescream he was again on his feet and

launched into the air.and again the shock came and he was brought crushingly to the ground. this time he was aware that it was theclub, but his madness knew no caution. a dozen times he charged, and as often theclub broke the charge and smashed him down. after a particularly fierce blow, hecrawled to his feet, too dazed to rush. he staggered limply about, the bloodflowing from nose and mouth and ears, his beautiful coat sprayed and flecked withbloody slaver. then the man advanced and deliberatelydealt him a frightful blow on the nose. all the pain he had endured was as nothingcompared with the exquisite agony of this.

with a roar that was almost lionlike in itsferocity, he again hurled himself at the man. but the man, shifting the club from rightto left, coolly caught him by the under jaw, at the same time wrenching downwardand backward. buck described a complete circle in theair, and half of another, then crashed to the ground on his head and chest.for the last time he rushed. the man struck the shrewd blow he hadpurposely withheld for so long, and buck crumpled up and went down, knocked utterlysenseless. "he's no slouch at dog-breakin', that's woti say," one of the men on the wall cried

enthusiastically. "druther break cayuses any day, and twiceon sundays," was the reply of the driver, as he climbed on the wagon and started thehorses. buck's senses came back to him, but not hisstrength. he lay where he had fallen, and from therehe watched the man in the red sweater. "'answers to the name of buck,'" the mansoliloquized, quoting from the saloon- keeper's letter which had announced theconsignment of the crate and contents. "well, buck, my boy," he went on in agenial voice, "we've had our little ruction, and the best thing we can do is tolet it go at that.

you've learned your place, and i know mine. be a good dog and all 'll go well and thegoose hang high. be a bad dog, and i'll whale the stuffin'outa you. understand?" as he spoke he fearlessly patted the headhe had so mercilessly pounded, and though buck's hair involuntarily bristled at touchof the hand, he endured it without protest. when the man brought him water he drankeagerly, and later bolted a generous meal of raw meat, chunk by chunk, from the man'shand. he was beaten (he knew that); but he wasnot broken.

he saw, once for all, that he stood nochance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all hisafter life he never forgot it. that club was a revelation. it was his introduction to the reign ofprimitive law, and he met the introduction halfway. the facts of life took on a fiercer aspect;and while he faced that aspect uncowed, he faced it with all the latent cunning of hisnature aroused. as the days went by, other dogs came, incrates and at the ends of ropes, some docilely, and some raging and roaring as hehad come; and, one and all, he watched them

pass under the dominion of the man in thered sweater. again and again, as he looked at eachbrutal performance, the lesson was driven home to buck: a man with a club was alawgiver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated. of this last buck was never guilty, thoughhe did see beaten dogs that fawned upon the man, and wagged their tails, and licked hishand. also he saw one dog, that would neitherconciliate nor obey, finally killed in the struggle for mastery. now and again men came, strangers, whotalked excitedly, wheedlingly, and in all

kinds of fashions to the man in the redsweater. and at such times that money passed betweenthem the strangers took one or more of the dogs away with them. buck wondered where they went, for theynever came back; but the fear of the future was strong upon him, and he was glad eachtime when he was not selected. yet his time came, in the end, in the formof a little weazened man who spat broken english and many strange and uncouthexclamations which buck could not understand. "sacredam!" he cried, when his eyes litupon buck.

"dat one dam bully dog!eh? how moch?" "three hundred, and a present at that," wasthe prompt reply of the man in the red sweater."and seem' it's government money, you ain't got no kick coming, eh, perrault?" perrault grinned.considering that the price of dogs had been boomed skyward by the unwonted demand, itwas not an unfair sum for so fine an animal. the canadian government would be no loser,nor would its despatches travel the slower. perrault knew dogs, and when he looked atbuck he knew that he was one in a thousand-

-"one in ten t'ousand," he commentedmentally. buck saw money pass between them, and wasnot surprised when curly, a good-natured newfoundland, and he were led away by thelittle weazened man. that was the last he saw of the man in thered sweater, and as curly and he looked at receding seattle from the deck of thenarwhal, it was the last he saw of the warm southland. curly and he were taken below by perraultand turned over to a black-faced giant called francois. perrault was a french-canadian, andswarthy; but francois was a french-canadian

half-breed, and twice as swarthy. they were a new kind of men to buck (ofwhich he was destined to see many more), and while he developed no affection forthem, he none the less grew honestly to respect them. he speedily learned that perrault andfrancois were fair men, calm and impartial in administering justice, and too wise inthe way of dogs to be fooled by dogs. in the 'tween-decks of the narwhal, buckand curly joined two other dogs. one of them was a big, snow-white fellowfrom spitzbergen who had been brought away by a whaling captain, and who had lateraccompanied a geological survey into the

barrens. he was friendly, in a treacherous sort ofway, smiling into one's face the while he meditated some underhand trick, as, forinstance, when he stole from buck's food at the first meal. as buck sprang to punish him, the lash offrancois's whip sang through the air, reaching the culprit first; and nothingremained to buck but to recover the bone. that was fair of francois, he decided, andthe half-breed began his rise in buck's estimation. the other dog made no advances, norreceived any; also, he did not attempt to

steal from the newcomers. he was a gloomy, morose fellow, and heshowed curly plainly that all he desired was to be left alone, and further, thatthere would be trouble if he were not left alone. "dave" he was called, and he ate and slept,or yawned between times, and took interest in nothing, not even when the narwhalcrossed queen charlotte sound and rolled and pitched and bucked like a thingpossessed. when buck and curly grew excited, half wildwith fear, he raised his head as though annoyed, favored them with an incuriousglance, yawned, and went to sleep again.

day and night the ship throbbed to thetireless pulse of the propeller, and though one day was very like another, it wasapparent to buck that the weather was steadily growing colder. at last, one morning, the propeller wasquiet, and the narwhal was pervaded with an atmosphere of excitement.he felt it, as did the other dogs, and knew that a change was at hand. francois leashed them and brought them ondeck. at the first step upon the cold surface,buck's feet sank into a white mushy something very like mud.

he sprang back with a snort.more of this white stuff was falling through the air.he shook himself, but more of it fell upon him. he sniffed it curiously, then licked someup on his tongue. it bit like fire, and the next instant wasgone. this puzzled him. he tried it again, with the same result.the onlookers laughed uproariously, and he felt ashamed, he knew not why, for it washis first snow. >

chapter ii.the law of club and fang buck's first day on the dyea beach was likea nightmare. every hour was filled with shock andsurprise. he had been suddenly jerked from the heartof civilization and flung into the heart of things primordial.no lazy, sun-kissed life was this, with nothing to do but loaf and be bored. here was neither peace, nor rest, nor amoment's safety. all was confusion and action, and everymoment life and limb were in peril. there was imperative need to be constantlyalert; for these dogs and men were not town

dogs and men.they were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang. he had never seen dogs fight as thesewolfish creatures fought, and his first experience taught him an unforgetablelesson. it is true, it was a vicarious experience,else he would not have lived to profit by it.curly was the victim. they were camped near the log store, whereshe, in her friendly way, made advances to a husky dog the size of a full-grown wolf,though not half so large as she. there was no warning, only a leap in like aflash, a metallic clip of teeth, a leap out

equally swift, and curly's face was rippedopen from eye to jaw. it was the wolf manner of fighting, tostrike and leap away; but there was more to it than this. thirty or forty huskies ran to the spot andsurrounded the combatants in an intent and silent circle. buck did not comprehend that silentintentness, nor the eager way with which they were licking their chops.curly rushed her antagonist, who struck again and leaped aside. he met her next rush with his chest, in apeculiar fashion that tumbled her off her

feet.she never regained them, this was what the onlooking huskies had waited for. they closed in upon her, snarling andyelping, and she was buried, screaming with agony, beneath the bristling mass ofbodies. so sudden was it, and so unexpected, thatbuck was taken aback. he saw spitz run out his scarlet tongue ina way he had of laughing; and he saw francois, swinging an axe, spring into themess of dogs. three men with clubs were helping him toscatter them. it did not take long.

two minutes from the time curly went down,the last of her assailants were clubbed off. but she lay there limp and lifeless in thebloody, trampled snow, almost literally torn to pieces, the swart half-breedstanding over her and cursing horribly. the scene often came back to buck totrouble him in his sleep. so that was the way.no fair play. once down, that was the end of you. well, he would see to it that he never wentdown. spitz ran out his tongue and laughed again,and from that moment buck hated him with a

bitter and deathless hatred. before he had recovered from the shockcaused by the tragic passing of curly, he received another shock.francois fastened upon him an arrangement of straps and buckles. it was a harness, such as he had seen thegrooms put on the horses at home. and as he had seen horses work, so he wasset to work, hauling francois on a sled to the forest that fringed the valley, andreturning with a load of firewood. though his dignity was sorely hurt by thusbeing made a draught animal, he was too wise to rebel.he buckled down with a will and did his

best, though it was all new and strange. francois was stern, demanding instantobedience, and by virtue of his whip receiving instant obedience; while dave,who was an experienced wheeler, nipped buck's hind quarters whenever he was inerror. spitz was the leader, likewise experienced,and while he could not always get at buck, he growled sharp reproof now and again, orcunningly threw his weight in the traces to jerk buck into the way he should go. buck learned easily, and under the combinedtuition of his two mates and francois made remarkable progress.

ere they returned to camp he knew enough tostop at "ho," to go ahead at "mush," to swing wide on the bends, and to keep clearof the wheeler when the loaded sled shot downhill at their heels. "t'ree vair' good dogs," francois toldperrault. "dat buck, heem pool lak hell.i tich heem queek as anyt'ing." by afternoon, perrault, who was in a hurryto be on the trail with his despatches, returned with two more dogs."billee" and "joe" he called them, two brothers, and true huskies both. sons of the one mother though they were,they were as different as day and night.

billee's one fault was his excessive goodnature, while joe was the very opposite, sour and introspective, with a perpetualsnarl and a malignant eye. buck received them in comradely fashion,dave ignored them, while spitz proceeded to thrash first one and then the other. billee wagged his tail appeasingly, turnedto run when he saw that appeasement was of no avail, and cried (still appeasingly)when spitz's sharp teeth scored his flank. but no matter how spitz circled, joewhirled around on his heels to face him, mane bristling, ears laid back, lipswrithing and snarling, jaws clipping together as fast as he could snap, and eyes

diabolically gleaming--the incarnation ofbelligerent fear. so terrible was his appearance that spitzwas forced to forego disciplining him; but to cover his own discomfiture he turnedupon the inoffensive and wailing billee and drove him to the confines of the camp. by evening perrault secured another dog, anold husky, long and lean and gaunt, with a battle-scarred face and a single eye whichflashed a warning of prowess that commanded respect. he was called sol-leks, which means theangry one. like dave, he asked nothing, gave nothing,expected nothing; and when he marched

slowly and deliberately into their midst,even spitz left him alone. he had one peculiarity which buck wasunlucky enough to discover. he did not like to be approached on hisblind side. of this offence buck was unwittinglyguilty, and the first knowledge he had of his indiscretion was when sol-leks whirledupon him and slashed his shoulder to the bone for three inches up and down. forever after buck avoided his blind side,and to the last of their comradeship had no more trouble. his only apparent ambition, like dave's,was to be left alone; though, as buck was

afterward to learn, each of them possessedone other and even more vital ambition. that night buck faced the great problem ofsleeping. the tent, illumined by a candle, glowedwarmly in the midst of the white plain; and when he, as a matter of course, entered it,both perrault and francois bombarded him with curses and cooking utensils, till he recovered from his consternation and fledignominiously into the outer cold. a chill wind was blowing that nipped himsharply and bit with especial venom into his wounded shoulder. he lay down on the snow and attempted tosleep, but the frost soon drove him

shivering to his feet. miserable and disconsolate, he wanderedabout among the many tents, only to find that one place was as cold as another. here and there savage dogs rushed upon him,but he bristled his neck-hair and snarled (for he was learning fast), and they lethim go his way unmolested. finally an idea came to him. he would return and see how his own team-mates were making out. to his astonishment, they had disappeared. again he wandered about through the greatcamp, looking for them, and again he

returned.were they in the tent? no, that could not be, else he would nothave been driven out. then where could they possibly be? with drooping tail and shivering body, veryforlorn indeed, he aimlessly circled the tent.suddenly the snow gave way beneath his fore legs and he sank down. something wriggled under his feet.he sprang back, bristling and snarling, fearful of the unseen and unknown.but a friendly little yelp reassured him, and he went back to investigate.

a whiff of warm air ascended to hisnostrils, and there, curled up under the snow in a snug ball, lay billee. he whined placatingly, squirmed andwriggled to show his good will and intentions, and even ventured, as a bribefor peace, to lick buck's face with his warm wet tongue. another lesson.so that was the way they did it, eh? buck confidently selected a spot, and withmuch fuss and waste effort proceeded to dig a hole for himself. in a trice the heat from his body filledthe confined space and he was asleep.

the day had been long and arduous, and heslept soundly and comfortably, though he growled and barked and wrestled with baddreams. nor did he open his eyes till roused by thenoises of the waking camp. at first he did not know where he was.it had snowed during the night and he was completely buried. the snow walls pressed him on every side,and a great surge of fear swept through him--the fear of the wild thing for thetrap. it was a token that he was harking backthrough his own life to the lives of his forebears; for he was a civilized dog, anunduly civilized dog, and of his own

experience knew no trap and so could not ofhimself fear it. the muscles of his whole body contractedspasmodically and instinctively, the hair on his neck and shoulders stood on end, andwith a ferocious snarl he bounded straight up into the blinding day, the snow flyingabout him in a flashing cloud. ere he landed on his feet, he saw the whitecamp spread out before him and knew where he was and remembered all that had passedfrom the time he went for a stroll with manuel to the hole he had dug for himselfthe night before. a shout from francois hailed hisappearance. "wot i say?" the dog-driver cried toperrault.

"dat buck for sure learn queek asanyt'ing." perrault nodded gravely. as courier for the canadian government,bearing important despatches, he was anxious to secure the best dogs, and he wasparticularly gladdened by the possession of buck. three more huskies were added to the teaminside an hour, making a total of nine, and before another quarter of an hour hadpassed they were in harness and swinging up the trail toward the dyea canon. buck was glad to be gone, and though thework was hard he found he did not

particularly despise it. he was surprised at the eagerness whichanimated the whole team and which was communicated to him; but still moresurprising was the change wrought in dave and sol-leks. they were new dogs, utterly transformed bythe harness. all passiveness and unconcern had droppedfrom them. they were alert and active, anxious thatthe work should go well, and fiercely irritable with whatever, by delay orconfusion, retarded that work. the toil of the traces seemed the supremeexpression of their being, and all that

they lived for and the only thing in whichthey took delight. dave was wheeler or sled dog, pulling infront of him was buck, then came sol-leks; the rest of the team was strung out ahead,single file, to the leader, which position was filled by spitz. buck had been purposely placed between daveand sol-leks so that he might receive instruction. apt scholar that he was, they were equallyapt teachers, never allowing him to linger long in error, and enforcing their teachingwith their sharp teeth. dave was fair and very wise.

he never nipped buck without cause, and henever failed to nip him when he stood in need of it. as francois's whip backed him up, buckfound it to be cheaper to mend his ways than to retaliate. once, during a brief halt, when he gottangled in the traces and delayed the start, both dave and solleks flew at himand administered a sound trouncing. the resulting tangle was even worse, butbuck took good care to keep the traces clear thereafter; and ere the day was done,so well had he mastered his work, his mates about ceased nagging him.

francois's whip snapped less frequently,and perrault even honored buck by lifting up his feet and carefully examining them. it was a hard day's run, up the canon,through sheep camp, past the scales and the timber line, across glaciers and snowdriftshundreds of feet deep, and over the great chilcoot divide, which stands between the salt water and the fresh and guardsforbiddingly the sad and lonely north. they made good time down the chain of lakeswhich fills the craters of extinct volcanoes, and late that night pulled intothe huge camp at the head of lake bennett, where thousands of goldseekers were

building boats against the break-up of theice in the spring. buck made his hole in the snow and sleptthe sleep of the exhausted just, but all too early was routed out in the colddarkness and harnessed with his mates to the sled. that day they made forty miles, the trailbeing packed; but the next day, and for many days to follow, they broke their owntrail, worked harder, and made poorer time. as a rule, perrault travelled ahead of theteam, packing the snow with webbed shoes to make it easier for them. francois, guiding the sled at the gee-pole,sometimes exchanged places with him, but

not often. perrault was in a hurry, and he pridedhimself on his knowledge of ice, which knowledge was indispensable, for the fallice was very thin, and where there was swift water, there was no ice at all. day after day, for days unending, bucktoiled in the traces. always, they broke camp in the dark, andthe first gray of dawn found them hitting the trail with fresh miles reeled offbehind them. and always they pitched camp after dark,eating their bit of fish, and crawling to sleep into the snow.buck was ravenous.

the pound and a half of sun-dried salmon,which was his ration for each day, seemed to go nowhere.he never had enough, and suffered from perpetual hunger pangs. yet the other dogs, because they weighedless and were born to the life, received a pound only of the fish and managed to keepin good condition. he swiftly lost the fastidiousness whichhad characterized his old life. a dainty eater, he found that his mates,finishing first, robbed him of his unfinished ration. there was no defending it.while he was fighting off two or three, it

was disappearing down the throats of theothers. to remedy this, he ate as fast as they;and, so greatly did hunger compel him, he was not above taking what did not belong tohim. he watched and learned. when he saw pike, one of the new dogs, aclever malingerer and thief, slyly steal a slice of bacon when perrault's back wasturned, he duplicated the performance the following day, getting away with the wholechunk. a great uproar was raised, but he wasunsuspected; while dub, an awkward blunderer who was always getting caught,was punished for buck's misdeed.

this first theft marked buck as fit tosurvive in the hostile northland environment. it marked his adaptability, his capacity toadjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift andterrible death. it marked, further, the decay or going topieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle forexistence. it was all well enough in the southland,under the law of love and fellowship, to respect private property and personalfeelings; but in the northland, under the law of club and fang, whoso took such

things into account was a fool, and in sofar as he observed them he would fail to prosper.not that buck reasoned it out. he was fit, that was all, and unconsciouslyhe accommodated himself to the new mode of life.all his days, no matter what the odds, he had never run from a fight. but the club of the man in the red sweaterhad beaten into him a more fundamental and primitive code. civilized, he could have died for a moralconsideration, say the defence of judge miller's riding-whip; but the completenessof his decivilization was now evidenced by

his ability to flee from the defence of amoral consideration and so save his hide. he did not steal for joy of it, but becauseof the clamor of his stomach. he did not rob openly, but stole secretlyand cunningly, out of respect for club and fang. in short, the things he did were donebecause it was easier to do them than not to do them.his development (or retrogression) was rapid. his muscles became hard as iron, and hegrew callous to all ordinary pain. he achieved an internal as well as externaleconomy.

he could eat anything, no matter howloathsome or indigestible; and, once eaten, the juices of his stomach extracted thelast least particle of nutriment; and his blood carried it to the farthest reaches of his body, building it into the toughest andstoutest of tissues. sight and scent became remarkably keen,while his hearing developed such acuteness that in his sleep he heard the faintestsound and knew whether it heralded peace or peril. he learned to bite the ice out with histeeth when it collected between his toes; and when he was thirsty and there was athick scum of ice over the water hole, he

would break it by rearing and striking itwith stiff fore legs. his most conspicuous trait was an abilityto scent the wind and forecast it a night in advance. no matter how breathless the air when hedug his nest by tree or bank, the wind that later blew inevitably found him to leeward,sheltered and snug. and not only did he learn by experience,but instincts long dead became alive again. the domesticated generations fell from him. in vague ways he remembered back to theyouth of the breed, to the time the wild dogs ranged in packs through the primevalforest and killed their meat as they ran it

down. it was no task for him to learn to fightwith cut and slash and the quick wolf snap. in this manner had fought forgottenancestors. they quickened the old life within him, andthe old tricks which they had stamped into the heredity of the breed were his tricks. they came to him without effort ordiscovery, as though they had been his always. and when, on the still cold nights, hepointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors, deadand dust, pointing nose at star and howling

down through the centuries and through him. and his cadences were their cadences, thecadences which voiced their woe and what to them was the meaning of the stiffness, andthe cold, and dark. thus, as token of what a puppet thing lifeis, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again; and he camebecause men had found a yellow metal in the north, and because manuel was a gardener's helper whose wages did not lap over theneeds of his wife and divers small copies of himself. chapter iii.the dominant primordial beast

the dominant primordial beast was strong inbuck, and under the fierce conditions of trail life it grew and grew.yet it was a secret growth. his newborn cunning gave him poise andcontrol. he was too busy adjusting himself to thenew life to feel at ease, and not only did he not pick fights, but he avoided themwhenever possible. a certain deliberateness characterized hisattitude. he was not prone to rashness andprecipitate action; and in the bitter hatred between him and spitz he betrayed noimpatience, shunned all offensive acts. on the other hand, possibly because hedivined in buck a dangerous rival, spitz

never lost an opportunity of showing histeeth. he even went out of his way to bully buck,striving constantly to start the fight which could end only in the death of one orthe other. early in the trip this might have takenplace had it not been for an unwonted accident. at the end of this day they made a bleakand miserable camp on the shore of lake le barge. driving snow, a wind that cut like a white-hot knife, and darkness had forced them to grope for a camping place.they could hardly have fared worse.

at their backs rose a perpendicular wall ofrock, and perrault and francois were compelled to make their fire and spreadtheir sleeping robes on the ice of the lake itself. the tent they had discarded at dyea inorder to travel light. a few sticks of driftwood furnished themwith a fire that thawed down through the ice and left them to eat supper in thedark. close in under the sheltering rock buckmade his nest. so snug and warm was it, that he was loathto leave it when francois distributed the fish which he had first thawed over thefire.

but when buck finished his ration andreturned, he found his nest occupied. a warning snarl told him that thetrespasser was spitz. till now buck had avoided trouble with hisenemy, but this was too much. the beast in him roared. he sprang upon spitz with a fury whichsurprised them both, and spitz particularly, for his whole experience withbuck had gone to teach him that his rival was an unusually timid dog, who managed to hold his own only because of his greatweight and size. francois was surprised, too, when they shotout in a tangle from the disrupted nest and

he divined the cause of the trouble. "a-a-ah!" he cried to buck."gif it to heem, by gar! gif it to heem, the dirty t'eef!"spitz was equally willing. he was crying with sheer rage and eagernessas he circled back and forth for a chance to spring in. buck was no less eager, and no lesscautious, as he likewise circled back and forth for the advantage. but it was then that the unexpectedhappened, the thing which projected their struggle for supremacy far into the future,past many a weary mile of trail and toil.

an oath from perrault, the resoundingimpact of a club upon a bony frame, and a shrill yelp of pain, heralded the breakingforth of pandemonium. the camp was suddenly discovered to bealive with skulking furry forms,--starving huskies, four or five score of them, whohad scented the camp from some indian village. they had crept in while buck and spitz werefighting, and when the two men sprang among them with stout clubs they showed theirteeth and fought back. they were crazed by the smell of the food. perrault found one with head buried in thegrub-box.

his club landed heavily on the gaunt ribs,and the grub-box was capsized on the ground. on the instant a score of the famishedbrutes were scrambling for the bread and bacon.the clubs fell upon them unheeded. they yelped and howled under the rain ofblows, but struggled none the less madly till the last crumb had been devoured. in the meantime the astonished team-dogshad burst out of their nests only to be set upon by the fierce invaders.never had buck seen such dogs. it seemed as though their bones would burstthrough their skins.

they were mere skeletons, draped loosely indraggled hides, with blazing eyes and slavered fangs. but the hunger-madness made themterrifying, irresistible. there was no opposing them.the team-dogs were swept back against the cliff at the first onset. buck was beset by three huskies, and in atrice his head and shoulders were ripped and slashed.the din was frightful. billee was crying as usual. dave and sol-leks, dripping blood from ascore of wounds, were fighting bravely side

by side.joe was snapping like a demon. once, his teeth closed on the fore leg of ahusky, and he crunched down through the bone. pike, the malingerer, leaped upon thecrippled animal, breaking its neck with a quick flash of teeth and a jerk, buck got afrothing adversary by the throat, and was sprayed with blood when his teeth sankthrough the jugular. the warm taste of it in his mouth goadedhim to greater fierceness. he flung himself upon another, and at thesame time felt teeth sink into his own throat.it was spitz, treacherously attacking from

the side. perrault and francois, having cleaned outtheir part of the camp, hurried to save their sled-dogs. the wild wave of famished beasts rolledback before them, and buck shook himself free.but it was only for a moment. the two men were compelled to run back tosave the grub, upon which the huskies returned to the attack on the team. billee, terrified into bravery, sprangthrough the savage circle and fled away over the ice.pike and dub followed on his heels, with

the rest of the team behind. as buck drew himself together to springafter them, out of the tail of his eye he saw spitz rush upon him with the evidentintention of overthrowing him. once off his feet and under that mass ofhuskies, there was no hope for him. but he braced himself to the shock ofspitz's charge, then joined the flight out on the lake. later, the nine team-dogs gathered togetherand sought shelter in the forest. though unpursued, they were in a sorryplight. there was not one who was not wounded infour or five places, while some were

wounded grievously. dub was badly injured in a hind leg; dolly,the last husky added to the team at dyea, had a badly torn throat; joe had lost aneye; while billee, the good-natured, with an ear chewed and rent to ribbons, criedand whimpered throughout the night. at daybreak they limped warily back tocamp, to find the marauders gone and the two men in bad tempers. fully half their grub supply was gone.the huskies had chewed through the sled lashings and canvas coverings.in fact, nothing, no matter how remotely eatable, had escaped them.

they had eaten a pair of perrault's moose-hide moccasins, chunks out of the leather traces, and even two feet of lash from theend of francois's whip. he broke from a mournful contemplation ofit to look over his wounded dogs. "ah, my frien's," he said softly, "mebbe itmek you mad dog, dose many bites. mebbe all mad dog, sacredam! wot you t'ink, eh, perrault?"the courier shook his head dubiously. with four hundred miles of trail stillbetween him and dawson, he could ill afford to have madness break out among his dogs. two hours of cursing and exertion got theharnesses into shape, and the wound-

stiffened team was under way, strugglingpainfully over the hardest part of the trail they had yet encountered, and for that matter, the hardest between them anddawson. the thirty mile river was wide open. its wild water defied the frost, and it wasin the eddies only and in the quiet places that the ice held at all.six days of exhausting toil were required to cover those thirty terrible miles. and terrible they were, for every foot ofthem was accomplished at the risk of life to dog and man.

a dozen times, perrault, nosing the waybroke through the ice bridges, being saved by the long pole he carried, which he soheld that it fell each time across the hole made by his body. but a cold snap was on, the thermometerregistering fifty below zero, and each time he broke through he was compelled for verylife to build a fire and dry his garments. nothing daunted him. it was because nothing daunted him that hehad been chosen for government courier. he took all manner of risks, resolutelythrusting his little weazened face into the frost and struggling on from dim dawn todark.

he skirted the frowning shores on rim icethat bent and crackled under foot and upon which they dared not halt. once, the sled broke through, with dave andbuck, and they were half-frozen and all but drowned by the time they were dragged out.the usual fire was necessary to save them. they were coated solidly with ice, and thetwo men kept them on the run around the fire, sweating and thawing, so close thatthey were singed by the flames. at another time spitz went through,dragging the whole team after him up to buck, who strained backward with all hisstrength, his fore paws on the slippery edge and the ice quivering and snapping allaround.

but behind him was dave, likewise strainingbackward, and behind the sled was francois, pulling till his tendons cracked. again, the rim ice broke away before andbehind, and there was no escape except up the cliff. perrault scaled it by a miracle, whilefrancois prayed for just that miracle; and with every thong and sled lashing and thelast bit of harness rove into a long rope, the dogs were hoisted, one by one, to thecliff crest. francois came up last, after the sled andload. then came the search for a place todescend, which descent was ultimately made

by the aid of the rope, and night foundthem back on the river with a quarter of a mile to the day's credit. by the time they made the hootalinqua andgood ice, buck was played out. the rest of the dogs were in likecondition; but perrault, to make up lost time, pushed them late and early. the first day they covered thirty-fivemiles to the big salmon; the next day thirty-five more to the little salmon; thethird day forty miles, which brought them well up toward the five fingers. buck's feet were not so compact and hard asthe feet of the huskies.

his had softened during the manygenerations since the day his last wild ancestor was tamed by a cave-dweller orriver man. all day long he limped in agony, and camponce made, lay down like a dead dog. hungry as he was, he would not move toreceive his ration of fish, which francois had to bring to him. also, the dog-driver rubbed buck's feet forhalf an hour each night after supper, and sacrificed the tops of his own moccasins tomake four moccasins for buck. this was a great relief, and buck causedeven the weazened face of perrault to twist itself into a grin one morning, whenfrancois forgot the moccasins and buck lay

on his back, his four feet waving appealingly in the air, and refused tobudge without them. later his feet grew hard to the trail, andthe worn-out foot-gear was thrown away. at the pelly one morning, as they wereharnessing up, dolly, who had never been conspicuous for anything, went suddenlymad. she announced her condition by a long,heartbreaking wolf howl that sent every dog bristling with fear, then sprang straightfor buck. he had never seen a dog go mad, nor did hehave any reason to fear madness; yet he knew that here was horror, and fled awayfrom it in a panic.

straight away he raced, with dolly, pantingand frothing, one leap behind; nor could she gain on him, so great was his terror,nor could he leave her, so great was her madness. he plunged through the wooded breast of theisland, flew down to the lower end, crossed a back channel filled with rough ice toanother island, gained a third island, curved back to the main river, and indesperation started to cross it. and all the time, though he did not look,he could hear her snarling just one leap behind. francois called to him a quarter of a mileaway and he doubled back, still one leap

ahead, gasping painfully for air andputting all his faith in that francois would save him. the dog-driver held the axe poised in hishand, and as buck shot past him the axe crashed down upon mad dolly's head.buck staggered over against the sled, exhausted, sobbing for breath, helpless. this was spitz's opportunity.he sprang upon buck, and twice his teeth sank into his unresisting foe and rippedand tore the flesh to the bone. then francois's lash descended, and buckhad the satisfaction of watching spitz receive the worst whipping as yetadministered to any of the teams.

"one devil, dat spitz," remarked perrault. "some dam day heem keel dat buck.""dat buck two devils," was francois's rejoinder."all de tam i watch dat buck i know for sure. lissen: some dam fine day heem get mad lakhell an' den heem chew dat spitz all up an' spit heem out on de snow.sure. i know." from then on it was war between them.spitz, as lead-dog and acknowledged master of the team, felt his supremacy threatenedby this strange southland dog.

and strange buck was to him, for of themany southland dogs he had known, not one had shown up worthily in camp and on trail.they were all too soft, dying under the toil, the frost, and starvation. buck was the exception.he alone endured and prospered, matching the husky in strength, savagery, andcunning. then he was a masterful dog, and what madehim dangerous was the fact that the club of the man in the red sweater had knocked allblind pluck and rashness out of his desire for mastery. he was preeminently cunning, and could bidehis time with a patience that was nothing

less than primitive.it was inevitable that the clash for leadership should come. buck wanted it. he wanted it because it was his nature,because he had been gripped tight by that nameless, incomprehensible pride of thetrail and trace--that pride which holds dogs in the toil to the last gasp, which lures them to die joyfully in the harness,and breaks their hearts if they are cut out of the harness. this was the pride of dave as wheel-dog, ofsol-leks as he pulled with all his

strength; the pride that laid hold of themat break of camp, transforming them from sour and sullen brutes into straining, eager, ambitious creatures; the pride thatspurred them on all day and dropped them at pitch of camp at night, letting them fallback into gloomy unrest and uncontent. this was the pride that bore up spitz andmade him thrash the sled-dogs who blundered and shirked in the traces or hid away atharness-up time in the morning. likewise it was this pride that made himfear buck as a possible lead-dog. and this was buck's pride, too.he openly threatened the other's leadership.

he came between him and the shirks heshould have punished. and he did it deliberately. one night there was a heavy snowfall, andin the morning pike, the malingerer, did not appear.he was securely hidden in his nest under a foot of snow. francois called him and sought him in vain.spitz was wild with wrath. he raged through the camp, smelling anddigging in every likely place, snarling so frightfully that pike heard and shivered inhis hiding-place. but when he was at last unearthed, andspitz flew at him to punish him, buck flew,

with equal rage, in between. so unexpected was it, and so shrewdlymanaged, that spitz was hurled backward and off his feet. pike, who had been trembling abjectly, tookheart at this open mutiny, and sprang upon his overthrown leader.buck, to whom fair play was a forgotten code, likewise sprang upon spitz. but francois, chuckling at the incidentwhile unswerving in the administration of justice, brought his lash down upon buckwith all his might. this failed to drive buck from hisprostrate rival, and the butt of the whip

was brought into play. half-stunned by the blow, buck was knockedbackward and the lash laid upon him again and again, while spitz soundly punished themany times offending pike. in the days that followed, as dawson grewcloser and closer, buck still continued to interfere between spitz and the culprits;but he did it craftily, when francois was not around, with the covert mutiny of buck, a general insubordination sprang up andincreased. dave and sol-leks were unaffected, but therest of the team went from bad to worse. things no longer went right.

there was continual bickering and jangling.trouble was always afoot, and at the bottom of it was buck. he kept francois busy, for the dog-driverwas in constant apprehension of the life- and-death struggle between the two which heknew must take place sooner or later; and on more than one night the sounds of quarrelling and strife among the other dogsturned him out of his sleeping robe, fearful that buck and spitz were at it. but the opportunity did not present itself,and they pulled into dawson one dreary afternoon with the great fight still tocome.

here were many men, and countless dogs, andbuck found them all at work. it seemed the ordained order of things thatdogs should work. all day they swung up and down the mainstreet in long teams, and in the night their jingling bells still went by. they hauled cabin logs and firewood,freighted up to the mines, and did all manner of work that horses did in the santaclara valley. here and there buck met southland dogs, butin the main they were the wild wolf husky breed. every night, regularly, at nine, at twelve,at three, they lifted a nocturnal song, a

weird and eerie chant, in which it wasbuck's delight to join. with the aurora borealis flaming coldlyoverhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen underits pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulatetravail of existence. it was an old song, old as the breeditself--one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad. it was invested with the woe of unnumberedgenerations, this plaint by which buck was

so strangely stirred. when he moaned and sobbed, it was with thepain of living that was of old the pain of his wild fathers, and the fear and mysteryof the cold and dark that was to them fear and mystery. and that he should be stirred by it markedthe completeness with which he harked back through the ages of fire and roof to theraw beginnings of life in the howling ages. seven days from the time they pulled intodawson, they dropped down the steep bank by the barracks to the yukon trail, and pulledfor dyea and salt water. perrault was carrying despatches ifanything more urgent than those he had

brought in; also, the travel pride hadgripped him, and he purposed to make the record trip of the year. several things favored him in this.the week's rest had recuperated the dogs and put them in thorough trim.the trail they had broken into the country was packed hard by later journeyers. and further, the police had arranged in twoor three places deposits of grub for dog and man, and he was travelling light. they made sixty mile, which is a fifty-milerun, on the first day; and the second day saw them booming up the yukon well on theirway to pelly.

but such splendid running was achieved notwithout great trouble and vexation on the part of francois.the insidious revolt led by buck had destroyed the solidarity of the team. it no longer was as one dog leaping in thetraces. the encouragement buck gave the rebels ledthem into all kinds of petty misdemeanors. no more was spitz a leader greatly to befeared. the old awe departed, and they grew equalto challenging his authority. pike robbed him of half a fish one night,and gulped it down under the protection of another night dub and joe fought spitz andmade him forego the punishment they

deserved. and even billee, the good-natured, was lessgood-natured, and whined not half so placatingly as in former days.buck never came near spitz without snarling and bristling menacingly. in fact, his conduct approached that of abully, and he was given to swaggering up and down before spitz's very nose. the breaking down of discipline likewiseaffected the dogs in their relations with one another. they quarrelled and bickered more than everamong themselves, till at times the camp

was a howling bedlam. dave and sol-leks alone were unaltered,though they were made irritable by the unending squabbling. francois swore strange barbarous oaths, andstamped the snow in futile rage, and tore his hair.his lash was always singing among the dogs, but it was of small avail. directly his back was turned they were atit again. he backed up spitz with his whip, whilebuck backed up the remainder of the team. francois knew he was behind all thetrouble, and buck knew he knew; but buck

was too clever ever again to be caught red-handed. he worked faithfully in the harness, forthe toil had become a delight to him; yet it was a greater delight slyly toprecipitate a fight amongst his mates and tangle the traces. at the mouth of the tahkeena, one nightafter supper, dub turned up a snowshoe rabbit, blundered it, and missed.in a second the whole team was in full cry. a hundred yards away was a camp of thenorthwest police, with fifty dogs, huskies all, who joined the chase. the rabbit sped down the river, turned offinto a small creek, up the frozen bed of

which it held steadily. it ran lightly on the surface of the snow,while the dogs ploughed through by main strength.buck led the pack, sixty strong, around bend after bend, but he could not gain. he lay down low to the race, whiningeagerly, his splendid body flashing forward, leap by leap, in the wan whitemoonlight. and leap by leap, like some pale frostwraith, the snowshoe rabbit flashed on ahead. all that stirring of old instincts which atstated periods drives men out from the

sounding cities to forest and plain to killthings by chemically propelled leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to kill-- all this was buck's, only it was infinitelymore intimate. he was ranging at the head of the pack,running the wild thing down, the living meat, to kill with his own teeth and washhis muzzle to the eyes in warm blood. there is an ecstasy that marks the summitof life, and beyond which life cannot rise. and such is the paradox of living, thisecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness thatone is alive. this ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living,comes to the artist, caught up and out of

himself in a sheet of flame; it comes tothe soldier, war-mad on a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before himthrough the moonlight. he was sounding the deeps of his nature,and of the parts of his nature that were deeper than he, going back into the womb oftime. he was mastered by the sheer surging oflife, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, andsinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant,

expressing itself in movement, flyingexultantly under the stars and over the face of dead matter that did not move. but spitz, cold and calculating even in hissupreme moods, left the pack and cut across a narrow neck of land where the creek madea long bend around. buck did not know of this, and as herounded the bend, the frost wraith of a rabbit still flitting before him, he sawanother and larger frost wraith leap from the overhanging bank into the immediatepath of the rabbit. it was spitz. the rabbit could not turn, and as the whiteteeth broke its back in mid air it shrieked

as loudly as a stricken man may shriek. at sound of this, the cry of life plungingdown from life's apex in the grip of death, the fall pack at buck's heels raised ahell's chorus of delight. buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in uponspitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat.they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though hehad not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear.

twice his teeth clipped together, like thesteel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lipsthat writhed and snarled. in a flash buck knew it. the time had come.it was to the death. as they circled about, snarling, ears laidback, keenly watchful for the advantage, the scene came to buck with a sense offamiliarity. he seemed to remember it all,--the whitewoods, and earth, and moonlight, and the thrill of battle.over the whiteness and silence brooded a ghostly calm.

there was not the faintest whisper of air--nothing moved, not a leaf quivered, the visible breaths of the dogs rising slowlyand lingering in the frosty air. they had made short work of the snowshoerabbit, these dogs that were ill-tamed wolves; and they were now drawn up in anexpectant circle. they, too, were silent, their eyes onlygleaming and their breaths drifting slowly upward.to buck it was nothing new or strange, this scene of old time. it was as though it had always been, thewonted way of things. spitz was a practised fighter.

from spitzbergen through the arctic, andacross canada and the barrens, he had held his own with all manner of dogs andachieved to mastery over them. bitter rage was his, but never blind rage. in passion to rend and destroy, he neverforgot that his enemy was in like passion to rend and destroy. he never rushed till he was prepared toreceive a rush; never attacked till he had first defended that attack.in vain buck strove to sink his teeth in the neck of the big white dog. wherever his fangs struck for the softerflesh, they were countered by the fangs of

spitz. fang clashed fang, and lips were cut andbleeding, but buck could not penetrate his enemy's guard.then he warmed up and enveloped spitz in a whirlwind of rushes. time and time again he tried for the snow-white throat, where life bubbled near to the surface, and each time and every timespitz slashed him and got away. then buck took to rushing, as though forthe throat, when, suddenly drawing back his head and curving in from the side, he woulddrive his shoulder at the shoulder of spitz, as a ram by which to overthrow him.

but instead, buck's shoulder was slasheddown each time as spitz leaped lightly away.spitz was untouched, while buck was streaming with blood and panting hard. the fight was growing desperate.and all the while the silent and wolfish circle waited to finish off whichever dogwent down. as buck grew winded, spitz took to rushing,and he kept him staggering for footing. once buck went over, and the whole circleof sixty dogs started up; but he recovered himself, almost in mid air, and the circlesank down again and waited. but buck possessed a quality that made forgreatness--imagination.

he fought by instinct, but he could fightby head as well. he rushed, as though attempting the oldshoulder trick, but at the last instant swept low to the snow and in.his teeth closed on spitz's left fore leg. there was a crunch of breaking bone, andthe white dog faced him on three legs. thrice he tried to knock him over, thenrepeated the trick and broke the right fore leg. despite the pain and helplessness, spitzstruggled madly to keep up. he saw the silent circle, with gleamingeyes, lolling tongues, and silvery breaths drifting upward, closing in upon him as hehad seen similar circles close in upon

beaten antagonists in the past. only this time he was the one who wasbeaten. there was no hope for him.buck was inexorable. mercy was a thing reserved for gentlerclimes. he manoeuvred for the final rush.the circle had tightened till he could feel the breaths of the huskies on his flanks. he could see them, beyond spitz and toeither side, half crouching for the spring, their eyes fixed upon him.a pause seemed to fall. every animal was motionless as thoughturned to stone.

only spitz quivered and bristled as hestaggered back and forth, snarling with horrible menace, as though to frighten offimpending death. then buck sprang in and out; but while hewas in, shoulder had at last squarely met shoulder. the dark circle became a dot on the moon-flooded snow as spitz disappeared from view. buck stood and looked on, the successfulchampion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good. chapter iv.who has won to mastership

"eh? wot i say?i spik true w'en i say dat buck two devils." this was francois's speech next morningwhen he discovered spitz missing and buck covered with wounds.he drew him to the fire and by its light pointed them out. "dat spitz fight lak hell," said perrault,as he surveyed the gaping rips and cuts. "an' dat buck fight lak two hells," wasfrancois's answer. "an' now we make good time. no more spitz, no more trouble, sure."while perrault packed the camp outfit and

loaded the sled, the dog-driver proceededto harness the dogs. buck trotted up to the place spitz wouldhave occupied as leader; but francois, not noticing him, brought sol-leks to thecoveted position. in his judgment, sol-leks was the bestlead-dog left. buck sprang upon sol-leks in a fury,driving him back and standing in his place. "eh? eh?" francois cried, slapping his thighsgleefully. "look at dat buck.heem keel dat spitz, heem t'ink to take de job."

"go 'way, chook!" he cried, but buckrefused to budge. he took buck by the scruff of the neck, andthough the dog growled threateningly, dragged him to one side and replaced sol-leks. the old dog did not like it, and showedplainly that he was afraid of buck. francois was obdurate, but when he turnedhis back buck again displaced sol-leks, who was not at all unwilling to go. francois was angry."now, by gar, i feex you!" he cried, coming back with a heavy club in his hand. buck remembered the man in the red sweater,and retreated slowly; nor did he attempt to

charge in when sol-leks was once morebrought forward. but he circled just beyond the range of theclub, snarling with bitterness and rage; and while he circled he watched the club soas to dodge it if thrown by francois, for he was become wise in the way of clubs. the driver went about his work, and hecalled to buck when he was ready to put him in his old place in front of dave.buck retreated two or three steps. francois followed him up, whereupon heagain retreated. after some time of this, francois threwdown the club, thinking that buck feared a thrashing.

but buck was in open revolt.he wanted, not to escape a clubbing, but to have the leadership.it was his by right. he had earned it, and he would not becontent with less. perrault took a hand.between them they ran him about for the better part of an hour. they threw clubs at him.he dodged. they cursed him, and his fathers andmothers before him, and all his seed to come after him down to the remotestgeneration, and every hair on his body and drop of blood in his veins; and he answered

curse with snarl and kept out of theirreach. he did not try to run away, but retreatedaround and around the camp, advertising plainly that when his desire was met, hewould come in and be good. francois sat down and scratched his head. perrault looked at his watch and swore.time was flying, and they should have been on the trail an hour gone.francois scratched his head again. he shook it and grinned sheepishly at thecourier, who shrugged his shoulders in sign that they were beaten.then francois went up to where sol-leks stood and called to buck.

buck laughed, as dogs laugh, yet kept hisdistance. francois unfastened sol-leks's traces andput him back in his old place. the team stood harnessed to the sled in anunbroken line, ready for the trail. there was no place for buck save at thefront. once more francois called, and once morebuck laughed and kept away. "t'row down de club," perrault commanded. francois complied, whereupon buck trottedin, laughing triumphantly, and swung around into position at the head of the team. his traces were fastened, the sled brokenout, and with both men running they dashed

out on to the river trail. highly as the dog-driver had forevaluedbuck, with his two devils, he found, while the day was yet young, that he hadundervalued. at a bound buck took up the duties ofleadership; and where judgment was required, and quick thinking and quickacting, he showed himself the superior even of spitz, of whom francois had never seenan equal. but it was in giving the law and making hismates live up to it, that buck excelled. dave and sol-leks did not mind the changein leadership. it was none of their business.their business was to toil, and toil

mightily, in the traces. so long as that were not interfered with,they did not care what happened. billee, the good-natured, could lead forall they cared, so long as he kept order. the rest of the team, however, had grownunruly during the last days of spitz, and their surprise was great now that buckproceeded to lick them into shape. pike, who pulled at buck's heels, and whonever put an ounce more of his weight against the breast-band than he wascompelled to do, was swiftly and repeatedly shaken for loafing; and ere the first day was done he was pulling more than everbefore in his life.

the first night in camp, joe, the sour one,was punished roundly--a thing that spitz had never succeeded in doing. buck simply smothered him by virtue ofsuperior weight, and cut him up till he ceased snapping and began to whine formercy. the general tone of the team picked upimmediately. it recovered its old-time solidarity, andonce more the dogs leaped as one dog in the traces. at the rink rapids two native huskies, teekand koona, were added; and the celerity with which buck broke them in took awayfrancois's breath.

"nevaire such a dog as dat buck!" he cried. "no, nevaire!heem worth one t'ousan' dollair, by gar! eh? wot you say, perrault?"and perrault nodded. he was ahead of the record then, andgaining day by day. the trail was in excellent condition, wellpacked and hard, and there was no new- fallen snow with which to contend. it was not too cold.the temperature dropped to fifty below zero and remained there the whole trip. the men rode and ran by turn, and the dogswere kept on the jump, with but infrequent

stoppages. the thirty mile river was comparativelycoated with ice, and they covered in one day going out what had taken them ten dayscoming in. in one run they made a sixty-mile dash fromthe foot of lake le barge to the white horse rapids. across marsh, tagish, and bennett (seventymiles of lakes), they flew so fast that the man whose turn it was to run towed behindthe sled at the end of a rope. and on the last night of the second weekthey topped white pass and dropped down the sea slope with the lights of skaguay and ofthe shipping at their feet.

it was a record run. each day for fourteen days they hadaveraged forty miles. for three days perrault and francois threwchests up and down the main street of skaguay and were deluged with invitationsto drink, while the team was the constant centre of a worshipful crowd of dog-bustersand mushers. then three or four western bad men aspiredto clean out the town, were riddled like pepper-boxes for their pains, and publicinterest turned to other idols. next came official orders. francois called buck to him, threw his armsaround him, wept over him.

and that was the last of francois andperrault. like other men, they passed out of buck'slife for good. a scotch half-breed took charge of him andhis mates, and in company with a dozen other dog-teams he started back over theweary trail to dawson. it was no light running now, nor recordtime, but heavy toil each day, with a heavy load behind; for this was the mail train,carrying word from the world to the men who sought gold under the shadow of the pole. buck did not like it, but he bore up wellto the work, taking pride in it after the manner of dave and sol-leks, and seeingthat his mates, whether they prided in it

or not, did their fair share. it was a monotonous life, operating withmachine-like regularity. one day was very like another. at a certain time each morning the cooksturned out, fires were built, and breakfast was eaten. then, while some broke camp, othersharnessed the dogs, and they were under way an hour or so before the darkness fellwhich gave warning of dawn. at night, camp was made. some pitched the flies, others cut firewoodand pine boughs for the beds, and still

others carried water or ice for the cooks.also, the dogs were fed. to them, this was the one feature of theday, though it was good to loaf around, after the fish was eaten, for an hour or sowith the other dogs, of which there were fivescore and odd. there were fierce fighters among them, butthree battles with the fiercest brought buck to mastery, so that when he bristledand showed his teeth they got out of his way. best of all, perhaps, he loved to lie nearthe fire, hind legs crouched under him, fore legs stretched out in front, headraised, and eyes blinking dreamily at the

flames. sometimes he thought of judge miller's bighouse in the sun-kissed santa clara valley, and of the cement swimming-tank, andysabel, the mexican hairless, and toots, the japanese pug; but oftener he remembered the man in the red sweater, the death ofcurly, the great fight with spitz, and the good things he had eaten or would like toeat. he was not homesick. the sunland was very dim and distant, andsuch memories had no power over him. far more potent were the memories of hisheredity that gave things he had never seen

before a seeming familiarity; the instincts(which were but the memories of his ancestors become habits) which had lapsed in later days, and still later, in him,quickened and become alive again. sometimes as he crouched there, blinkingdreamily at the flames, it seemed that the flames were of another fire, and that as hecrouched by this other fire he saw another and different man from the half-breed cookbefore him. this other man was shorter of leg andlonger of arm, with muscles that were stringy and knotty rather than rounded andswelling. the hair of this man was long and matted,and his head slanted back under it from the

eyes. he uttered strange sounds, and seemed verymuch afraid of the darkness, into which he peered continually, clutching in his hand,which hung midway between knee and foot, a stick with a heavy stone made fast to theend. he was all but naked, a ragged and fire-scorched skin hanging part way down his back, but on his body there was much hair. in some places, across the chest andshoulders and down the outside of the arms and thighs, it was matted into almost athick fur. he did not stand erect, but with trunkinclined forward from the hips, on legs

that bent at the knees. about his body there was a peculiarspringiness, or resiliency, almost catlike, and a quick alertness as of one who livedin perpetual fear of things seen and unseen. at other times this hairy man squatted bythe fire with head between his legs and slept. on such occasions his elbows were on hisknees, his hands clasped above his head as though to shed rain by the hairy arms. and beyond that fire, in the circlingdarkness, buck could see many gleaming

coals, two by two, always two by two, whichhe knew to be the eyes of great beasts of prey. and he could hear the crashing of theirbodies through the undergrowth, and the noises they made in the night. and dreaming there by the yukon bank, withlazy eyes blinking at the fire, these sounds and sights of another world wouldmake the hair to rise along his back and stand on end across his shoulders and up his neck, till he whimpered low andsuppressedly, or growled softly, and the half-breed cook shouted at him, "hey, youbuck, wake up!"

whereupon the other world would vanish andthe real world come into his eyes, and he would get up and yawn and stretch as thoughhe had been asleep. it was a hard trip, with the mail behindthem, and the heavy work wore them down. they were short of weight and in poorcondition when they made dawson, and should have had a ten days' or a week's rest atleast. but in two days' time they dropped down theyukon bank from the barracks, loaded with letters for the outside. the dogs were tired, the drivers grumbling,and to make matters worse, it snowed every day.

this meant a soft trail, greater frictionon the runners, and heavier pulling for the dogs; yet the drivers were fair through itall, and did their best for the animals. each night the dogs were attended to first. they ate before the drivers ate, and no mansought his sleeping-robe till he had seen to the feet of the dogs he drove.still, their strength went down. since the beginning of the winter they hadtravelled eighteen hundred miles, dragging sleds the whole weary distance; andeighteen hundred miles will tell upon life of the toughest. buck stood it, keeping his mates up totheir work and maintaining discipline,

though he, too, was very tired.billee cried and whimpered regularly in his sleep each night. joe was sourer than ever, and sol-leks wasunapproachable, blind side or other side. but it was dave who suffered most of all.something had gone wrong with him. he became more morose and irritable, andwhen camp was pitched at once made his nest, where his driver fed him. once out of the harness and down, he didnot get on his feet again till harness-up time in the morning. sometimes, in the traces, when jerked by asudden stoppage of the sled, or by

straining to start it, he would cry outwith pain. the driver examined him, but could findnothing. all the drivers became interested in hiscase. they talked it over at meal-time, and overtheir last pipes before going to bed, and one night they held a consultation. he was brought from his nest to the fireand was pressed and prodded till he cried out many times. something was wrong inside, but they couldlocate no broken bones, could not make it out.

by the time cassiar bar was reached, he wasso weak that he was falling repeatedly in the traces. the scotch half-breed called a halt andtook him out of the team, making the next dog, sol-leks, fast to the sled.his intention was to rest dave, letting him run free behind the sled. sick as he was, dave resented being takenout, grunting and growling while the traces were unfastened, and whimpering broken-heartedly when he saw sol-leks in the position he had held and served so long. for the pride of trace and trail was his,and, sick unto death, he could not bear

that another dog should do his work. when the sled started, he floundered in thesoft snow alongside the beaten trail, attacking sol-leks with his teeth, rushingagainst him and trying to thrust him off into the soft snow on the other side, striving to leap inside his traces and getbetween him and the sled, and all the while whining and yelping and crying with griefand pain. the half-breed tried to drive him away withthe whip; but he paid no heed to the stinging lash, and the man had not theheart to strike harder. dave refused to run quietly on the trailbehind the sled, where the going was easy,

but continued to flounder alongside in thesoft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted. then he fell, and lay where he fell,howling lugubriously as the long train of sleds churned by. with the last remnant of his strength hemanaged to stagger along behind till the train made another stop, when he flounderedpast the sleds to his own, where he stood alongside sol-leks. his driver lingered a moment to get a lightfor his pipe from the man behind. then he returned and started his dogs.

they swung out on the trail with remarkablelack of exertion, turned their heads uneasily, and stopped in surprise.the driver was surprised, too; the sled had not moved. he called his comrades to witness thesight. dave had bitten through both of sol-leks'straces, and was standing directly in front of the sled in his proper place. he pleaded with his eyes to remain there.the driver was perplexed. his comrades talked of how a dog couldbreak its heart through being denied the work that killed it, and recalled instancesthey had known, where dogs, too old for the

toil, or injured, had died because theywere cut out of the traces. also, they held it a mercy, since dave wasto die anyway, that he should die in the traces, heart-easy and content. so he was harnessed in again, and proudlyhe pulled as of old, though more than once he cried out involuntarily from the bite ofhis inward hurt. several times he fell down and was draggedin the traces, and once the sled ran upon him so that he limped thereafter in one ofhis hind legs. but he held out till camp was reached, whenhis driver made a place for him by the fire.morning found him too weak to travel.

at harness-up time he tried to crawl to hisdriver. by convulsive efforts he got on his feet,staggered, and fell. then he wormed his way forward slowlytoward where the harnesses were being put on his mates. he would advance his fore legs and drag uphis body with a sort of hitching movement, when he would advance his fore legs andhitch ahead again for a few more inches. his strength left him, and the last hismates saw of him he lay gasping in the snow and yearning toward them. but they could hear him mournfully howlingtill they passed out of sight behind a belt

of river timber.here the train was halted. the scotch half-breed slowly retraced hissteps to the camp they had left. the men ceased talking.a revolver-shot rang out. the man came back hurriedly. the whips snapped, the bells tinkledmerrily, the sleds churned along the trail; but buck knew, and every dog knew, what hadtaken place behind the belt of river trees. chapter v.the toil of trace and trail thirty days from the time it left dawson,the salt water mail, with buck and his mates at the fore, arrived at skaguay.they were in a wretched state, worn out and

worn down. buck's one hundred and forty pounds haddwindled to one hundred and fifteen. the rest of his mates, though lighter dogs,had relatively lost more weight than he. pike, the malingerer, who, in his lifetimeof deceit, had often successfully feigned a hurt leg, was now limping in earnest.sol-leks was limping, and dub was suffering from a wrenched shoulder-blade. they were all terribly footsore.no spring or rebound was left in them. their feet fell heavily on the trail,jarring their bodies and doubling the fatigue of a day's travel.

there was nothing the matter with themexcept that they were dead tired. it was not the dead-tiredness that comesthrough brief and excessive effort, from which recovery is a matter of hours; but itwas the dead-tiredness that comes through the slow and prolonged strength drainage ofmonths of toil. there was no power of recuperation left, noreserve strength to call upon. it had been all used, the last least bit ofit. every muscle, every fibre, every cell, wastired, dead tired. and there was reason for it. in less than five months they had travelledtwenty-five hundred miles, during the last

eighteen hundred of which they had had butfive days' rest. when they arrived at skaguay they wereapparently on their last legs. they could barely keep the traces taut, andon the down grades just managed to keep out of the way of the sled. "mush on, poor sore feets," the driverencouraged them as they tottered down the main street of skaguay."dis is de las'. den we get one long res'. eh? for sure.one bully long res'." the drivers confidently expected a longstopover.

themselves, they had covered twelve hundredmiles with two days' rest, and in the nature of reason and common justice theydeserved an interval of loafing. but so many were the men who had rushedinto the klondike, and so many were the sweethearts, wives, and kin that had notrushed in, that the congested mail was taking on alpine proportions; also, therewere official orders. fresh batches of hudson bay dogs were totake the places of those worthless for the trail. the worthless ones were to be got rid of,and, since dogs count for little against dollars, they were to be sold.

three days passed, by which time buck andhis mates found how really tired and weak they were. then, on the morning of the fourth day, twomen from the states came along and bought them, harness and all, for a song.the men addressed each other as "hal" and "charles." charles was a middle-aged, lightish-coloredman, with weak and watery eyes and a mustache that twisted fiercely andvigorously up, giving the lie to the limply drooping lip it concealed. hal was a youngster of nineteen or twenty,with a big colt's revolver and a hunting-

knife strapped about him on a belt thatfairly bristled with cartridges. this belt was the most salient thing abouthim. it advertised his callowness--a callownesssheer and unutterable. both men were manifestly out of place, andwhy such as they should adventure the north is part of the mystery of things thatpasses understanding. buck heard the chaffering, saw the moneypass between the man and the government agent, and knew that the scotch half-breedand the mail-train drivers were passing out of his life on the heels of perrault and francois and the others who had gonebefore.

when driven with his mates to the newowners' camp, buck saw a slipshod and slovenly affair, tent half stretched,dishes unwashed, everything in disorder; also, he saw a woman. "mercedes" the men called her.she was charles's wife and hal's sister--a nice family party. buck watched them apprehensively as theyproceeded to take down the tent and load the sled.there was a great deal of effort about their manner, but no businesslike method. the tent was rolled into an awkward bundlethree times as large as it should have

been.the tin dishes were packed away unwashed. mercedes continually fluttered in the wayof her men and kept up an unbroken chattering of remonstrance and advice. when they put a clothes-sack on the frontof the sled, she suggested it should go on the back; and when they had put it on theback, and covered it over with a couple of other bundles, she discovered overlooked articles which could abide nowhere else butin that very sack, and they unloaded again. three men from a neighboring tent came outand looked on, grinning and winking at one another.

"you've got a right smart load as it is,"said one of them; "and it's not me should tell you your business, but i wouldn't totethat tent along if i was you." "undreamed of!" cried mercedes, throwing upher hands in dainty dismay. "however in the world could i managewithout a tent?" "it's springtime, and you won't get anymore cold weather," the man replied. she shook her head decidedly, and charlesand hal put the last odds and ends on top the mountainous load. "think it'll ride?" one of the men asked."why shouldn't it?" charles demanded rather shortly."oh, that's all right, that's all right,"

the man hastened meekly to say. "i was just a-wonderin', that is all.it seemed a mite top-heavy." charles turned his back and drew thelashings down as well as he could, which was not in the least well. "an' of course the dogs can hike along allday with that contraption behind them," affirmed a second of the men. "certainly," said hal, with freezingpoliteness, taking hold of the gee-pole with one hand and swinging his whip fromthe other. "mush!" he shouted.

"mush on there!"the dogs sprang against the breast-bands, strained hard for a few moments, thenrelaxed. they were unable to move the sled. "the lazy brutes, i'll show them," hecried, preparing to lash out at them with the whip. but mercedes interfered, crying, "oh, hal,you mustn't," as she caught hold of the whip and wrenched it from him."the poor dears! now you must promise you won't be harshwith them for the rest of the trip, or i won't go a step."

"precious lot you know about dogs," herbrother sneered; "and i wish you'd leave me alone.they're lazy, i tell you, and you've got to whip them to get anything out of them. that's their way.you ask any one. ask one of those men." mercedes looked at them imploringly, untoldrepugnance at sight of pain written in her pretty face."they're weak as water, if you want to know," came the reply from one of the men. "plum tuckered out, that's what's thematter.

they need a rest." "rest be blanked," said hal, with hisbeardless lips; and mercedes said, "oh!" in pain and sorrow at the oath.but she was a clannish creature, and rushed at once to the defence of her brother. "never mind that man," she said pointedly."you're driving our dogs, and you do what you think best with them."again hal's whip fell upon the dogs. they threw themselves against the breast-bands, dug their feet into the packed snow, got down low to it, and put forth all theirstrength. the sled held as though it were an anchor.

after two efforts, they stood still,panting. the whip was whistling savagely, when oncemore mercedes interfered. she dropped on her knees before buck, withtears in her eyes, and put her arms around his neck. "you poor, poor dears," she criedsympathetically, "why don't you pull hard?- -then you wouldn't be whipped." buck did not like her, but he was feelingtoo miserable to resist her, taking it as part of the day's miserable work. one of the onlookers, who had beenclenching his teeth to suppress hot speech,

now spoke up:-- "it's not that i care a whoop what becomesof you, but for the dogs' sakes i just want to tell you, you can help them a mighty lotby breaking out that sled. the runners are froze fast. throw your weight against the gee-pole,right and left, and break it out." a third time the attempt was made, but thistime, following the advice, hal broke out the runners which had been frozen to thesnow. the overloaded and unwieldy sled forgedahead, buck and his mates struggling frantically under the rain of blows.a hundred yards ahead the path turned and

sloped steeply into the main street. it would have required an experienced manto keep the top-heavy sled upright, and hal was not such a man. as they swung on the turn the sled wentover, spilling half its load through the loose lashings.the dogs never stopped. the lightened sled bounded on its sidebehind them. they were angry because of the illtreatment they had received and the unjust load. buck was raging.he broke into a run, the team following his

lead.hal cried "whoa! whoa!" but they gave no heed. he tripped and was pulled off his feet. the capsized sled ground over him, and thedogs dashed on up the street, adding to the gayety of skaguay as they scattered theremainder of the outfit along its chief thoroughfare. kind-hearted citizens caught the dogs andgathered up the scattered belongings. also, they gave advice. half the load and twice the dogs, if theyever expected to reach dawson, was what was

said. hal and his sister and brother-in-lawlistened unwillingly, pitched tent, and overhauled the outfit. canned goods were turned out that made menlaugh, for canned goods on the long trail is a thing to dream about."blankets for a hotel" quoth one of the men who laughed and helped. "half as many is too much; get rid of them.throw away that tent, and all those dishes,--who's going to wash them, anyway?good lord, do you think you're travelling on a pullman?"

and so it went, the inexorable eliminationof the superfluous. mercedes cried when her clothes-bags weredumped on the ground and article after article was thrown out. she cried in general, and she cried inparticular over each discarded thing. she clasped hands about knees, rocking backand forth broken-heartedly. she averred she would not go an inch, notfor a dozen charleses. she appealed to everybody and toeverything, finally wiping her eyes and proceeding to cast out even articles ofapparel that were imperative necessaries. and in her zeal, when she had finished withher own, she attacked the belongings of her

men and went through them like a tornado.this accomplished, the outfit, though cut in half, was still a formidable bulk. charles and hal went out in the evening andbought six outside dogs. these, added to the six of the originalteam, and teek and koona, the huskies obtained at the rink rapids on the recordtrip, brought the team up to fourteen. but the outside dogs, though practicallybroken in since their landing, did not amount to much. three were short-haired pointers, one was anewfoundland, and the other two were mongrels of indeterminate breed.they did not seem to know anything, these

newcomers. buck and his comrades looked upon them withdisgust, and though he speedily taught them their places and what not to do, he couldnot teach them what to do. they did not take kindly to trace andtrail. with the exception of the two mongrels,they were bewildered and spirit-broken by the strange savage environment in whichthey found themselves and by the ill treatment they had received. the two mongrels were without spirit atall; bones were the only things breakable about them.

with the newcomers hopeless and forlorn,and the old team worn out by twenty-five hundred miles of continuous trail, theoutlook was anything but bright. the two men, however, were quite cheerful. and they were proud, too.they were doing the thing in style, with fourteen dogs. they had seen other sleds depart over thepass for dawson, or come in from dawson, but never had they seen a sled with so manyas fourteen dogs. in the nature of arctic travel there was areason why fourteen dogs should not drag one sled, and that was that one sled couldnot carry the food for fourteen dogs.

but charles and hal did not know this. they had worked the trip out with a pencil,so much to a dog, so many dogs, so many days, q.e.d. mercedes looked over their shoulders andnodded comprehensively, it was all so very simple.late next morning buck led the long team up the street. there was nothing lively about it, no snapor go in him and his fellows. they were starting dead weary. four times he had covered the distancebetween salt water and dawson, and the

knowledge that, jaded and tired, he wasfacing the same trail once more, made him bitter. his heart was not in the work, nor was theheart of any dog. the outsides were timid and frightened, theinsides without confidence in their masters. buck felt vaguely that there was nodepending upon these two men and the woman. they did not know how to do anything, andas the days went by it became apparent that they could not learn. they were slack in all things, withoutorder or discipline.

it took them half the night to pitch aslovenly camp, and half the morning to break that camp and get the sled loaded infashion so slovenly that for the rest of the day they were occupied in stopping andrearranging the load. some days they did not make ten miles.on other days they were unable to get started at all. and on no day did they succeed in makingmore than half the distance used by the men as a basis in their dog-food computation.it was inevitable that they should go short on dog-food. but they hastened it by overfeeding,bringing the day nearer when underfeeding

would commence. the outside dogs, whose digestions had notbeen trained by chronic famine to make the most of little, had voracious appetites. and when, in addition to this, the worn-outhuskies pulled weakly, hal decided that the orthodox ration was too small.he doubled it. and to cap it all, when mercedes, withtears in her pretty eyes and a quaver in her throat, could not cajole him intogiving the dogs still more, she stole from the fish-sacks and fed them slyly. but it was not food that buck and thehuskies needed, but rest.

and though they were making poor time, theheavy load they dragged sapped their strength severely. then came the underfeeding. hal awoke one day to the fact that his dog-food was half gone and the distance only quarter covered; further, that for love ormoney no additional dog-food was to be obtained. so he cut down even the orthodox ration andtried to increase the day's travel. his sister and brother-in-law seconded him;but they were frustrated by their heavy outfit and their own incompetence.

it was a simple matter to give the dogsless food; but it was impossible to make the dogs travel faster, while their owninability to get under way earlier in the morning prevented them from travellinglonger hours. not only did they not know how to workdogs, but they did not know how to work themselves. the first to go was dub.poor blundering thief that he was, always getting caught and punished, he had nonethe less been a faithful worker. his wrenched shoulder-blade, untreated andunrested, went from bad to worse, till finally hal shot him with the big colt'srevolver.

it is a saying of the country that anoutside dog starves to death on the ration of the husky, so the six outside dogs underbuck could do no less than die on half the ration of the husky. the newfoundland went first, followed bythe three short-haired pointers, the two mongrels hanging more grittily on to life,but going in the end. by this time all the amenities andgentlenesses of the southland had fallen away from the three people. shorn of its glamour and romance, arctictravel became to them a reality too harsh for their manhood and womanhood.

mercedes ceased weeping over the dogs,being too occupied with weeping over herself and with quarrelling with herhusband and brother. to quarrel was the one thing they werenever too weary to do. their irritability arose out of theirmisery, increased with it, doubled upon it, outdistanced it. the wonderful patience of the trail whichcomes to men who toil hard and suffer sore, and remain sweet of speech and kindly, didnot come to these two men and the woman. they had no inkling of such a patience. they were stiff and in pain; their musclesached, their bones ached, their very hearts

ached; and because of this they becamesharp of speech, and hard words were first on their lips in the morning and last atnight. charles and hal wrangled whenever mercedesgave them a chance. it was the cherished belief of each that hedid more than his share of the work, and neither forbore to speak this belief atevery opportunity. sometimes mercedes sided with her husband,sometimes with her brother. the result was a beautiful and unendingfamily quarrel. starting from a dispute as to which shouldchop a few sticks for the fire (a dispute which concerned only charles and hal),presently would be lugged in the rest of

the family, fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, people thousands of miles away,and some of them dead. that hal's views on art, or the sort ofsociety plays his mother's brother wrote, should have anything to do with thechopping of a few sticks of firewood, passes comprehension; nevertheless the quarrel was as likely to tend in thatdirection as in the direction of charles's political prejudices. and that charles's sister's tale-bearingtongue should be relevant to the building of a yukon fire, was apparent only tomercedes, who disburdened herself of

copious opinions upon that topic, and incidentally upon a few other traitsunpleasantly peculiar to her husband's family.in the meantime the fire remained unbuilt, the camp half pitched, and the dogs unfed. mercedes nursed a special grievance--thegrievance of sex. she was pretty and soft, and had beenchivalrously treated all her days. but the present treatment by her husbandand brother was everything save chivalrous. it was her custom to be helpless.they complained. upon which impeachment of what to her washer most essential sex-prerogative, she

made their lives unendurable. she no longer considered the dogs, andbecause she was sore and tired, she persisted in riding on the sled. she was pretty and soft, but she weighedone hundred and twenty pounds--a lusty last straw to the load dragged by the weak andstarving animals. she rode for days, till they fell in thetraces and the sled stood still. charles and hal begged her to get off andwalk, pleaded with her, entreated, the while she wept and importuned heaven with arecital of their brutality. on one occasion they took her off the sledby main strength.

they never did it again.she let her legs go limp like a spoiled child, and sat down on the trail. they went on their way, but she did notmove. after they had travelled three miles theyunloaded the sled, came back for her, and by main strength put her on the sled again. in the excess of their own misery they werecallous to the suffering of their animals. hal's theory, which he practised on others,was that one must get hardened. he had started out preaching it to hissister and brother-in-law. failing there, he hammered it into the dogswith a club.

at the five fingers the dog-food gave out,and a toothless old squaw offered to trade them a few pounds of frozen horse-hide forthe colt's revolver that kept the big hunting-knife company at hal's hip. a poor substitute for food was this hide,just as it had been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen six monthsback. in its frozen state it was more like stripsof galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin andinnutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating andindigestible. and through it all buck staggered along atthe head of the team as in a nightmare.

he pulled when he could; when he could nolonger pull, he fell down and remained down till blows from whip or club drove him tohis feet again. all the stiffness and gloss had gone out ofhis beautiful furry coat. the hair hung down, limp and draggled, ormatted with dried blood where hal's club had bruised him. his muscles had wasted away to knottystrings, and the flesh pads had disappeared, so that each rib and everybone in his frame were outlined cleanly through the loose hide that was wrinkled infolds of emptiness. it was heartbreaking, only buck's heart wasunbreakable.

the man in the red sweater had proved that. as it was with buck, so was it with hismates. they were perambulating skeletons.there were seven all together, including in their very great misery they had becomeinsensible to the bite of the lash or the bruise of the club. the pain of the beating was dull anddistant, just as the things their eyes saw and their ears heard seemed dull anddistant. they were not half living, or quarterliving. they were simply so many bags of bones inwhich sparks of life fluttered faintly.

when a halt was made, they dropped down inthe traces like dead dogs, and the spark dimmed and paled and seemed to go out. and when the club or whip fell upon them,the spark fluttered feebly up, and they tottered to their feet and staggered on.there came a day when billee, the good- natured, fell and could not rise. hal had traded off his revolver, so he tookthe axe and knocked billee on the head as he lay in the traces, then cut the carcassout of the harness and dragged it to one side. buck saw, and his mates saw, and they knewthat this thing was very close to them.

on the next day koona went, and but five ofthem remained: joe, too far gone to be malignant; pike, crippled and limping, onlyhalf conscious and not conscious enough longer to malinger; sol-leks, the one-eyed, still faithful to the toil of trace andtrail, and mournful in that he had so little strength with which to pull; teek,who had not travelled so far that winter and who was now beaten more than the others because he was fresher; and buck, still atthe head of the team, but no longer enforcing discipline or striving to enforceit, blind with weakness half the time and keeping the trail by the loom of it and bythe dim feel of his feet.

it was beautiful spring weather, butneither dogs nor humans were aware of it. each day the sun rose earlier and setlater. it was dawn by three in the morning, andtwilight lingered till nine at night. the whole long day was a blaze of sunshine. the ghostly winter silence had given way tothe great spring murmur of awakening life. this murmur arose from all the land,fraught with the joy of living. it came from the things that lived andmoved again, things which had been as dead and which had not moved during the longmonths of frost. the sap was rising in the pines.

the willows and aspens were bursting out inyoung buds. shrubs and vines were putting on freshgarbs of green. crickets sang in the nights, and in thedays all manner of creeping, crawling things rustled forth into the sun.partridges and woodpeckers were booming and knocking in the forest. squirrels were chattering, birds singing,and overhead honked the wild-fowl driving up from the south in cunning wedges thatsplit the air. from every hill slope came the trickle ofrunning water, the music of unseen fountains.all things were thawing, bending, snapping.

the yukon was straining to break loose theice that bound it down. it ate away from beneath; the sun ate fromabove. air-holes formed, fissures sprang andspread apart, while thin sections of ice fell through bodily into the river. and amid all this bursting, rending,throbbing of awakening life, under the blazing sun and through the soft-sighingbreezes, like wayfarers to death, staggered the two men, the woman, and the huskies. with the dogs falling, mercedes weeping andriding, hal swearing innocuously, and charles's eyes wistfully watering, theystaggered into john thornton's camp at the

mouth of white river. when they halted, the dogs dropped down asthough they had all been struck dead. mercedes dried her eyes and looked at johnthornton. charles sat down on a log to rest. he sat down very slowly and painstakinglywhat of his great stiffness. hal did the talking. john thornton was whittling the lasttouches on an axe-handle he had made from a stick of birch. he whittled and listened, gave monosyllabicreplies, and, when it was asked, terse

advice. he knew the breed, and he gave his advicein the certainty that it would not be followed. "they told us up above that the bottom wasdropping out of the trail and that the best thing for us to do was to lay over," halsaid in response to thornton's warning to take no more chances on the rotten ice. "they told us we couldn't make white river,and here we are." this last with a sneering ring of triumphin it. "and they told you true," john thorntonanswered.

"the bottom's likely to drop out at anymoment. only fools, with the blind luck of fools,could have made it. i tell you straight, i wouldn't risk mycarcass on that ice for all the gold in alaska." "that's because you're not a fool, isuppose," said hal. "all the same, we'll go on to dawson."he uncoiled his whip. "get up there, buck! hi!get up there! mush on!"thornton went on whittling.

it was idle, he knew, to get between a fooland his folly; while two or three fools more or less would not alter the scheme ofthings. but the team did not get up at the command. it had long since passed into the stagewhere blows were required to rouse it. the whip flashed out, here and there, onits merciless errands. john thornton compressed his lips. sol-leks was the first to crawl to hisfeet. teek followed.joe came next, yelping with pain. pike made painful efforts.

twice he fell over, when half up, and onthe third attempt managed to rise. buck made no effort.he lay quietly where he had fallen. the lash bit into him again and again, buthe neither whined nor struggled. several times thornton started, as thoughto speak, but changed his mind. a moisture came into his eyes, and, as thewhipping continued, he arose and walked irresolutely up and down. this was the first time buck had failed, initself a sufficient reason to drive hal into a rage.he exchanged the whip for the customary club.

buck refused to move under the rain ofheavier blows which now fell upon him. like his mates, he was barely able to getup, but, unlike them, he had made up his mind not to get up. he had a vague feeling of impending doom.this had been strong upon him when he pulled in to the bank, and it had notdeparted from him. what of the thin and rotten ice he had feltunder his feet all day, it seemed that he sensed disaster close at hand, out thereahead on the ice where his master was trying to drive him. he refused to stir.so greatly had he suffered, and so far gone

was he, that the blows did not hurt much. and as they continued to fall upon him, thespark of life within flickered and went down.it was nearly out. he felt strangely numb. as though from a great distance, he wasaware that he was being beaten. the last sensations of pain left him. he no longer felt anything, though veryfaintly he could hear the impact of the club upon his body.but it was no longer his body, it seemed so far away.

and then, suddenly, without warning,uttering a cry that was inarticulate and more like the cry of an animal, johnthornton sprang upon the man who wielded the club. hal was hurled backward, as though struckby a falling tree. mercedes screamed. charles looked on wistfully, wiped hiswatery eyes, but did not get up because of his stiffness. john thornton stood over buck, strugglingto control himself, too convulsed with rage to speak.

"if you strike that dog again, i'll killyou," he at last managed to say in a choking voice."it's my dog," hal replied, wiping the blood from his mouth as he came back. "get out of my way, or i'll fix you.i'm going to dawson." thornton stood between him and buck, andevinced no intention of getting out of the hal drew his long hunting-knife.mercedes screamed, cried, laughed, and manifested the chaotic abandonment ofhysteria. thornton rapped hal's knuckles with theaxe-handle, knocking the knife to the ground.he rapped his knuckles again as he tried to

pick it up. then he stooped, picked it up himself, andwith two strokes cut buck's traces. hal had no fight left in him. besides, his hands were full with hissister, or his arms, rather; while buck was too near dead to be of further use inhauling the sled. a few minutes later they pulled out fromthe bank and down the river. buck heard them go and raised his head tosee, pike was leading, sol-leks was at the wheel, and between were joe and teek. they were limping and staggering.mercedes was riding the loaded sled.

hal guided at the gee-pole, and charlesstumbled along in the rear. as buck watched them, thornton knelt besidehim and with rough, kindly hands searched for broken bones. by the time his search had disclosednothing more than many bruises and a state of terrible starvation, the sled was aquarter of a mile away. dog and man watched it crawling along overthe ice. suddenly, they saw its back end drop down,as into a rut, and the gee-pole, with hal clinging to it, jerk into the air. mercedes's scream came to their ears.they saw charles turn and make one step to

run back, and then a whole section of icegive way and dogs and humans disappear. a yawning hole was all that was to be seen. the bottom had dropped out of the trail.john thornton and buck looked at each other."you poor devil," said john thornton, and buck licked his hand. chapter vi.for the love of a man when john thornton froze his feet in theprevious december his partners had made him comfortable and left him to get well, goingon themselves up the river to get out a raft of saw-logs for dawson.

he was still limping slightly at the timehe rescued buck, but with the continued warm weather even the slight limp left him. and here, lying by the river bank throughthe long spring days, watching the running water, listening lazily to the songs ofbirds and the hum of nature, buck slowly won back his strength. a rest comes very good after one hastravelled three thousand miles, and it must be confessed that buck waxed lazy as hiswounds healed, his muscles swelled out, and the flesh came back to cover his bones. for that matter, they were all loafing,--buck, john thornton, and skeet and nig,--

waiting for the raft to come that was tocarry them down to dawson. skeet was a little irish setter who earlymade friends with buck, who, in a dying condition, was unable to resent her firstadvances. she had the doctor trait which some dogspossess; and as a mother cat washes her kittens, so she washed and cleansed buck'swounds. regularly, each morning after he hadfinished his breakfast, she performed her self-appointed task, till he came to lookfor her ministrations as much as he did for thornton's. nig, equally friendly, though lessdemonstrative, was a huge black dog, half

bloodhound and half deerhound, with eyesthat laughed and a boundless good nature. to buck's surprise these dogs manifested nojealousy toward him. they seemed to share the kindliness andlargeness of john thornton. as buck grew stronger they enticed him intoall sorts of ridiculous games, in which thornton himself could not forbear to join;and in this fashion buck romped through his convalescence and into a new existence. love, genuine passionate love, was his forthe first time. this he had never experienced at judgemiller's down in the sun-kissed santa clara valley.

with the judge's sons, hunting andtramping, it had been a working partnership; with the judge's grandsons, asort of pompous guardianship; and with the judge himself, a stately and dignifiedfriendship. but love that was feverish and burning,that was adoration, that was madness, it had taken john thornton to arouse. this man had saved his life, which wassomething; but, further, he was the ideal master. other men saw to the welfare of their dogsfrom a sense of duty and business expediency; he saw to the welfare of his asif they were his own children, because he

could not help it. and he saw further.he never forgot a kindly greeting or a cheering word, and to sit down for a longtalk with them ("gas" he called it) was as much his delight as theirs. he had a way of taking buck's head roughlybetween his hands, and resting his own head upon buck's, of shaking him back and forth,the while calling him ill names that to buck were love names. buck knew no greater joy than that roughembrace and the sound of murmured oaths, and at each jerk back and forth it seemedthat his heart would be shaken out of his

body so great was its ecstasy. and when, released, he sprang to his feet,his mouth laughing, his eyes eloquent, his throat vibrant with unuttered sound, and inthat fashion remained without movement, john thornton would reverently exclaim,"god! you can all but speak!" buck had a trick of love expression thatwas akin to hurt. he would often seize thornton's hand in hismouth and close so fiercely that the flesh bore the impress of his teeth for some timeafterward. and as buck understood the oaths to be lovewords, so the man understood this feigned bite for a caress.for the most part, however, buck's love was

expressed in adoration. while he went wild with happiness whenthornton touched him or spoke to him, he did not seek these tokens. unlike skeet, who was wont to shove hernose under thornton's hand and nudge and nudge till petted, or nig, who would stalkup and rest his great head on thornton's knee, buck was content to adore at adistance. he would lie by the hour, eager, alert, atthornton's feet, looking up into his face, dwelling upon it, studying it, followingwith keenest interest each fleeting expression, every movement or change offeature.

or, as chance might have it, he would liefarther away, to the side or rear, watching the outlines of the man and the occasionalmovements of his body. and often, such was the communion in whichthey lived, the strength of buck's gaze would draw john thornton's head around, andhe would return the gaze, without speech, his heart shining out of his eyes as buck'sheart shone out. for a long time after his rescue, buck didnot like thornton to get out of his sight. from the moment he left the tent to when heentered it again, buck would follow at his heels. his transient masters since he had comeinto the northland had bred in him a fear

that no master could be permanent. he was afraid that thornton would pass outof his life as perrault and francois and the scotch half-breed had passed out.even in the night, in his dreams, he was haunted by this fear. at such times he would shake off sleep andcreep through the chill to the flap of the tent, where he would stand and listen tothe sound of his master's breathing. but in spite of this great love he borejohn thornton, which seemed to bespeak the soft civilizing influence, the strain ofthe primitive, which the northland had aroused in him, remained alive and active.

faithfulness and devotion, things born offire and roof, were his; yet he retained his wildness and wiliness. he was a thing of the wild, come in fromthe wild to sit by john thornton's fire, rather than a dog of the soft southlandstamped with the marks of generations of civilization. because of his very great love, he couldnot steal from this man, but from any other man, in any other camp, he did not hesitatean instant; while the cunning with which he stole enabled him to escape detection. his face and body were scored by the teethof many dogs, and he fought as fiercely as

ever and more shrewdly. skeet and nig were too good-natured forquarrelling,--besides, they belonged to john thornton; but the strange dog, nomatter what the breed or valor, swiftly acknowledged buck's supremacy or found himself struggling for life with a terribleantagonist. and buck was merciless. he had learned well the law of club andfang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on theway to death. he had lessoned from spitz, and from thechief fighting dogs of the police and mail,

and knew there was no middle course.he must master or be mastered; while to show mercy was a weakness. mercy did not exist in the primordial life.it was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was thelaw; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed.he was older than the days he had seen and the breaths he had drawn. he linked the past with the present, andthe eternity behind him throbbed through him in a mighty rhythm to which he swayedas the tides and seasons swayed.

he sat by john thornton's fire, a broad-breasted dog, white-fanged and long-furred; but behind him were the shades of allmanner of dogs, half-wolves and wild wolves, urgent and prompting, tasting the savor of the meat he ate, thirsting for thewater he drank, scenting the wind with him, listening with him and telling him thesounds made by the wild life in the forest, dictating his moods, directing his actions, lying down to sleep with him when he laydown, and dreaming with him and beyond him and becoming themselves the stuff of hisdreams. so peremptorily did these shades beckonhim, that each day mankind and the claims

of mankind slipped farther from him. deep in the forest a call was sounding, andas often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he feltcompelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, heknew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call soundingimperiously, deep in the forest. but as often as he gained the soft unbrokenearth and the green shade, the love for john thornton drew him back to the fireagain. thornton alone held him.

the rest of mankind was as nothing.chance travellers might praise or pet him; but he was cold under it all, and from atoo demonstrative man he would get up and walk away. when thornton's partners, hans and pete,arrived on the long-expected raft, buck refused to notice them till he learned theywere close to thornton; after that he tolerated them in a passive sort of way, accepting favors from them as though hefavored them by accepting. they were of the same large type asthornton, living close to the earth, thinking simply and seeing clearly; and erethey swung the raft into the big eddy by

the saw-mill at dawson, they understood buck and his ways, and did not insist uponan intimacy such as obtained with skeet and nig.for thornton, however, his love seemed to grow and grow. he, alone among men, could put a pack uponbuck's back in the summer travelling. nothing was too great for buck to do, whenthornton commanded. one day (they had grub-staked themselvesfrom the proceeds of the raft and left dawson for the head-waters of the tanana)the men and dogs were sitting on the crest of a cliff which fell away, straight down,to naked bed-rock three hundred feet below.

john thornton was sitting near the edge,buck at his shoulder. a thoughtless whim seized thornton, and hedrew the attention of hans and pete to the experiment he had in mind."jump, buck!" he commanded, sweeping his arm out and over the chasm. the next instant he was grappling with buckon the extreme edge, while hans and pete were dragging them back into safety."it's uncanny," pete said, after it was over and they had caught their speech. thornton shook his head."no, it is splendid, and it is terrible, too.do you know, it sometimes makes me afraid."

"i'm not hankering to be the man that layshands on you while he's around," pete announced conclusively, nodding his headtoward buck. "py jingo!" was hans's contribution. "not mineself either."it was at circle city, ere the year was out, that pete's apprehensions wererealized. "black" burton, a man evil-tempered andmalicious, had been picking a quarrel with a tenderfoot at the bar, when thorntonstepped good-naturedly between. buck, as was his custom, was lying in acorner, head on paws, watching his master's every action.burton struck out, without warning,

straight from the shoulder. thornton was sent spinning, and savedhimself from falling only by clutching the rail of the bar. those who were looking on heard what wasneither bark nor yelp, but a something which is best described as a roar, and theysaw buck's body rise up in the air as he left the floor for burton's throat. the man saved his life by instinctivelythrowing out his arm, but was hurled backward to the floor with buck on top ofhim. buck loosed his teeth from the flesh of thearm and drove in again for the throat.

this time the man succeeded only in partlyblocking, and his throat was torn open. then the crowd was upon buck, and he wasdriven off; but while a surgeon checked the bleeding, he prowled up and down, growlingfuriously, attempting to rush in, and being forced back by an array of hostile clubs. a "miners' meeting," called on the spot,decided that the dog had sufficient provocation, and buck was discharged. but his reputation was made, and from thatday his name spread through every camp in alaska. later on, in the fall of the year, he savedjohn thornton's life in quite another

the three partners were lining a long andnarrow poling-boat down a bad stretch of rapids on the forty-mile creek. hans and pete moved along the bank,snubbing with a thin manila rope from tree to tree, while thornton remained in theboat, helping its descent by means of a pole, and shouting directions to the shore. buck, on the bank, worried and anxious,kept abreast of the boat, his eyes never off his master. at a particularly bad spot, where a ledgeof barely submerged rocks jutted out into the river, hans cast off the rope, and,while thornton poled the boat out into the

stream, ran down the bank with the end in his hand to snub the boat when it hadcleared the ledge. this it did, and was flying down-stream ina current as swift as a mill-race, when hans checked it with the rope and checkedtoo suddenly. the boat flirted over and snubbed in to thebank bottom up, while thornton, flung sheer out of it, was carried down-stream towardthe worst part of the rapids, a stretch of wild water in which no swimmer could live. buck had sprung in on the instant; and atthe end of three hundred yards, amid a mad swirl of water, he overhauled thornton.

when he felt him grasp his tail, buckheaded for the bank, swimming with all his splendid strength.but the progress shoreward was slow; the progress down-stream amazingly rapid. from below came the fatal roaring where thewild current went wilder and was rent in shreds and spray by the rocks which thrustthrough like the teeth of an enormous comb. the suck of the water as it took thebeginning of the last steep pitch was frightful, and thornton knew that the shorewas impossible. he scraped furiously over a rock, bruisedacross a second, and struck a third with crushing force.

he clutched its slippery top with bothhands, releasing buck, and above the roar of the churning water shouted: "go, buck!go!" buck could not hold his own, and swept ondown-stream, struggling desperately, but unable to win back. when he heard thornton's command repeated,he partly reared out of the water, throwing his head high, as though for a last look,then turned obediently toward the bank. he swam powerfully and was dragged ashoreby pete and hans at the very point where swimming ceased to be possible anddestruction began. they knew that the time a man could clingto a slippery rock in the face of that

driving current was a matter of minutes,and they ran as fast as they could up the bank to a point far above where thorntonwas hanging on. they attached the line with which they hadbeen snubbing the boat to buck's neck and shoulders, being careful that it shouldneither strangle him nor impede his swimming, and launched him into the stream. he struck out boldly, but not straightenough into the stream. he discovered the mistake too late, whenthornton was abreast of him and a bare half-dozen strokes away while he was beingcarried helplessly past. hans promptly snubbed with the rope, asthough buck were a boat.

the rope thus tightening on him in thesweep of the current, he was jerked under the surface, and under the surface heremained till his body struck against the bank and he was hauled out. he was half drowned, and hans and petethrew themselves upon him, pounding the breath into him and the water out of him.he staggered to his feet and fell down. the faint sound of thornton's voice came tothem, and though they could not make out the words of it, they knew that he was inhis extremity. his master's voice acted on buck like anelectric shock, he sprang to his feet and ran up the bank ahead of the men to thepoint of his previous departure.

again the rope was attached and he waslaunched, and again he struck out, but this time straight into the stream.he had miscalculated once, but he would not be guilty of it a second time. hans paid out the rope, permitting noslack, while pete kept it clear of coils. buck held on till he was on a line straightabove thornton; then he turned, and with the speed of an express train headed downupon him. thornton saw him coming, and, as buckstruck him like a battering ram, with the whole force of the current behind him, hereached up and closed with both arms around the shaggy neck.

hans snubbed the rope around the tree, andbuck and thornton were jerked under the water. strangling, suffocating, sometimes oneuppermost and sometimes the other, dragging over the jagged bottom, smashing againstrocks and snags, they veered in to the bank. thornton came to, belly downward and beingviolently propelled back and forth across a drift log by hans and pete. his first glance was for buck, over whoselimp and apparently lifeless body nig was setting up a howl, while skeet was lickingthe wet face and closed eyes.

thornton was himself bruised and battered,and he went carefully over buck's body, when he had been brought around, findingthree broken ribs. "that settles it," he announced. "we camp right here."and camp they did, till buck's ribs knitted and he was able to travel. that winter, at dawson, buck performedanother exploit, not so heroic, perhaps, but one that put his name many notcheshigher on the totem-pole of alaskan fame. this exploit was particularly gratifying tothe three men; for they stood in need of the outfit which it furnished, and wereenabled to make a long-desired trip into

the virgin east, where miners had not yetappeared. it was brought about by a conversation inthe eldorado saloon, in which men waxed boastful of their favorite dogs. buck, because of his record, was the targetfor these men, and thornton was driven stoutly to defend him. at the end of half an hour one man statedthat his dog could start a sled with five hundred pounds and walk off with it; asecond bragged six hundred for his dog; and a third, seven hundred. "pooh! pooh!" said john thornton; "buck canstart a thousand pounds."

"and break it out? and walk off with it fora hundred yards?" demanded matthewson, a bonanza king, he of the seven hundredvaunt. "and break it out, and walk off with it fora hundred yards," john thornton said coolly. "well," matthewson said, slowly anddeliberately, so that all could hear, "i've got a thousand dollars that says he can't.and there it is." so saying, he slammed a sack of gold dustof the size of a bologna sausage down upon the bar.nobody spoke. thornton's bluff, if bluff it was, had beencalled.

he could feel a flush of warm bloodcreeping up his face. his tongue had tricked him. he did not know whether buck could start athousand pounds. half a ton!the enormousness of it appalled him. he had great faith in buck's strength andhad often thought him capable of starting such a load; but never, as now, had hefaced the possibility of it, the eyes of a dozen men fixed upon him, silent andwaiting. further, he had no thousand dollars; norhad hans or pete. "i've got a sled standing outside now, withtwenty fiftypound sacks of flour on it,"

matthewson went on with brutal directness;"so don't let that hinder you." thornton did not reply. he did not know what to say.he glanced from face to face in the absent way of a man who has lost the power ofthought and is seeking somewhere to find the thing that will start it going again. the face of jim o'brien, a mastodon kingand old-time comrade, caught his eyes. it was as a cue to him, seeming to rousehim to do what he would never have dreamed of doing. "can you lend me a thousand?" he asked,almost in a whisper.

"sure," answered o'brien, thumping down aplethoric sack by the side of matthewson's. "though it's little faith i'm having, john,that the beast can do the trick." the eldorado emptied its occupants into thestreet to see the test. the tables were deserted, and the dealersand gamekeepers came forth to see the outcome of the wager and to lay odds. several hundred men, furred and mittened,banked around the sled within easy distance. matthewson's sled, loaded with a thousandpounds of flour, had been standing for a couple of hours, and in the intense cold(it was sixty below zero) the runners had

frozen fast to the hard-packed snow. men offered odds of two to one that buckcould not budge the sled. a quibble arose concerning the phrase"break out." o'brien contended it was thornton'sprivilege to knock the runners loose, leaving buck to "break it out" from a deadstandstill. matthewson insisted that the phraseincluded breaking the runners from the frozen grip of the snow. a majority of the men who had witnessed themaking of the bet decided in his favor, whereat the odds went up to three to oneagainst buck.

there were no takers. not a man believed him capable of the feat. thornton had been hurried into the wager,heavy with doubt; and now that he looked at the sled itself, the concrete fact, withthe regular team of ten dogs curled up in the snow before it, the more impossible thetask appeared. matthewson waxed jubilant."three to one!" he proclaimed. "i'll lay you another thousand at thatfigure, thornton. what d'ye say?" thornton's doubt was strong in his face,but his fighting spirit was aroused--the

fighting spirit that soars above odds,fails to recognize the impossible, and is deaf to all save the clamor for battle. he called hans and pete to him.their sacks were slim, and with his own the three partners could rake together only twohundred dollars. in the ebb of their fortunes, this sum wastheir total capital; yet they laid it unhesitatingly against matthewson's sixhundred. the team of ten dogs was unhitched, andbuck, with his own harness, was put into he had caught the contagion of theexcitement, and he felt that in some way he must do a great thing for john thornton.murmurs of admiration at his splendid

appearance went up. he was in perfect condition, without anounce of superfluous flesh, and the one hundred and fifty pounds that he weighedwere so many pounds of grit and virility. his furry coat shone with the sheen ofsilk. down the neck and across the shoulders, hismane, in repose as it was, half bristled and seemed to lift with every movement, asthough excess of vigor made each particular hair alive and active. the great breast and heavy fore legs wereno more than in proportion with the rest of the body, where the muscles showed in tightrolls underneath the skin.

men felt these muscles and proclaimed themhard as iron, and the odds went down to two to one."gad, sir! gad, sir!" stuttered a member of the latestdynasty, a king of the skookum benches. "i offer you eight hundred for him, sir,before the test, sir; eight hundred just as he stands." thornton shook his head and stepped tobuck's side. "you must stand off from him," matthewsonprotested. "free play and plenty of room." the crowd fell silent; only could be heardthe voices of the gamblers vainly offering

two to one. everybody acknowledged buck a magnificentanimal, but twenty fifty-pound sacks of flour bulked too large in their eyes forthem to loosen their pouch-strings. thornton knelt down by buck's side. he took his head in his two hands andrested cheek on cheek. he did not playfully shake him, as was hiswont, or murmur soft love curses; but he whispered in his ear. "as you love me, buck.as you love me," was what he whispered. buck whined with suppressed eagerness.the crowd was watching curiously.

the affair was growing mysterious. it seemed like a conjuration.as thornton got to his feet, buck seized his mittened hand between his jaws,pressing in with his teeth and releasing slowly, half-reluctantly. it was the answer, in terms, not of speech,but of love. thornton stepped well back."now, buck," he said. buck tightened the traces, then slackedthem for a matter of several inches. it was the way he had learned."gee!" thornton's voice rang out, sharp in thetense silence.

buck swung to the right, ending themovement in a plunge that took up the slack and with a sudden jerk arrested his onehundred and fifty pounds. the load quivered, and from under therunners arose a crisp crackling. "haw!"thornton commanded. buck duplicated the manoeuvre, this time tothe left. the crackling turned into a snapping, thesled pivoting and the runners slipping and grating several inches to the side. the sled was broken out.men were holding their breaths, intensely unconscious of the fact."now, mush!"

thornton's command cracked out like apistol-shot. buck threw himself forward, tightening thetraces with a jarring lunge. his whole body was gathered compactlytogether in the tremendous effort, the muscles writhing and knotting like livethings under the silky fur. his great chest was low to the ground, hishead forward and down, while his feet were flying like mad, the claws scarring thehard-packed snow in parallel grooves. the sled swayed and trembled, half-startedforward. one of his feet slipped, and one mangroaned aloud. then the sled lurched ahead in whatappeared a rapid succession of jerks,

though it never really came to a dead stopagain...half an inch...an inch... two inches... the jerks perceptibly diminished; as thesled gained momentum, he caught them up, till it was moving steadily along. men gasped and began to breathe again,unaware that for a moment they had ceased to breathe.thornton was running behind, encouraging buck with short, cheery words. the distance had been measured off, and ashe neared the pile of firewood which marked the end of the hundred yards, a cheer beganto grow and grow, which burst into a roar

as he passed the firewood and halted atcommand. every man was tearing himself loose, evenmatthewson. hats and mittens were flying in the air. men were shaking hands, it did not matterwith whom, and bubbling over in a general incoherent babel.but thornton fell on his knees beside buck. head was against head, and he was shakinghim back and forth. those who hurried up heard him cursingbuck, and he cursed him long and fervently, and softly and lovingly. "gad, sir!gad, sir!" spluttered the skookum bench

king."i'll give you a thousand for him, sir, a thousand, sir--twelve hundred, sir." thornton rose to his feet.his eyes were wet. the tears were streaming frankly down hischeeks. "sir," he said to the skookum bench king,"no, sir. you can go to hell, sir.it's the best i can do for you, sir." buck seized thornton's hand in his teeth. thornton shook him back and forth.as though animated by a common impulse, the onlookers drew back to a respectfuldistance; nor were they again indiscreet

enough to interrupt. chapter vii.the sounding of the call when buck earned sixteen hundred dollars infive minutes for john thornton, he made it possible for his master to pay off certaindebts and to journey with his partners into the east after a fabled lost mine, the history of which was as old as the historyof the country. many men had sought it; few had found it;and more than a few there were who had never returned from the quest. this lost mine was steeped in tragedy andshrouded in mystery.

no one knew of the first man.the oldest tradition stopped before it got back to him. from the beginning there had been anancient and ramshackle cabin. dying men had sworn to it, and to the minethe site of which it marked, clinching their testimony with nuggets that wereunlike any known grade of gold in the northland. but no living man had looted this treasurehouse, and the dead were dead; wherefore john thornton and pete and hans, with buckand half a dozen other dogs, faced into the east on an unknown trail to achieve where

men and dogs as good as themselves hadfailed. they sledded seventy miles up the yukon,swung to the left into the stewart river, passed the mayo and the mcquestion, andheld on until the stewart itself became a streamlet, threading the upstanding peakswhich marked the backbone of the continent. john thornton asked little of man ornature. he was unafraid of the wild. with a handful of salt and a rifle he couldplunge into the wilderness and fare wherever he pleased and as long as hepleased. being in no haste, indian fashion, hehunted his dinner in the course of the

day's travel; and if he failed to find it,like the indian, he kept on travelling, secure in the knowledge that sooner orlater he would come to it. so, on this great journey into the east,straight meat was the bill of fare, ammunition and tools principally made upthe load on the sled, and the time-card was drawn upon the limitless future. to buck it was boundless delight, thishunting, fishing, and indefinite wandering through strange places. for weeks at a time they would hold onsteadily, day after day; and for weeks upon end they would camp, here and there, thedogs loafing and the men burning holes

through frozen muck and gravel and washing countless pans of dirt by the heat of thefire. sometimes they went hungry, sometimes theyfeasted riotously, all according to the abundance of game and the fortune ofhunting. summer arrived, and dogs and men packed ontheir backs, rafted across blue mountain lakes, and descended or ascended unknownrivers in slender boats whipsawed from the standing forest. the months came and went, and back andforth they twisted through the uncharted vastness, where no men were and yet wheremen had been if the lost cabin were true.

they went across divides in summerblizzards, shivered under the midnight sun on naked mountains between the timber lineand the eternal snows, dropped into summer valleys amid swarming gnats and flies, and in the shadows of glaciers pickedstrawberries and flowers as ripe and fair as any the southland could boast. in the fall of the year they penetrated aweird lake country, sad and silent, where wildfowl had been, but where then there wasno life nor sign of life--only the blowing of chill winds, the forming of ice in sheltered places, and the melancholyrippling of waves on lonely beaches.

and through another winter they wandered onthe obliterated trails of men who had gone before. once, they came upon a path blazed throughthe forest, an ancient path, and the lost cabin seemed very near. but the path began nowhere and endednowhere, and it remained mystery, as the man who made it and the reason he made itremained mystery. another time they chanced upon the time-graven wreckage of a hunting lodge, and amid the shreds of rotted blankets johnthornton found a long-barrelled flint-lock. he knew it for a hudson bay company gun ofthe young days in the northwest, when such

a gun was worth its height in beaver skinspacked flat, and that was all--no hint as to the man who in an early day had reared the lodge and left the gun among theblankets. spring came on once more, and at the end ofall their wandering they found, not the lost cabin, but a shallow placer in a broadvalley where the gold showed like yellow butter across the bottom of the washing-pan. they sought no farther. each day they worked earned them thousandsof dollars in clean dust and nuggets, and they worked every day.

the gold was sacked in moose-hide bags,fifty pounds to the bag, and piled like so much firewood outside the spruce-boughlodge. like giants they toiled, days flashing onthe heels of days like dreams as they heaped the treasure up. there was nothing for the dogs to do, savethe hauling in of meat now and again that thornton killed, and buck spent long hoursmusing by the fire. the vision of the short-legged hairy mancame to him more frequently, now that there was little work to be done; and often,blinking by the fire, buck wandered with him in that other world which heremembered.

the salient thing of this other worldseemed fear. when he watched the hairy man sleeping bythe fire, head between his knees and hands clasped above, buck saw that he sleptrestlessly, with many starts and awakenings, at which times he would peer fearfully into the darkness and fling morewood upon the fire. did they walk by the beach of a sea, wherethe hairy man gathered shellfish and ate them as he gathered, it was with eyes thatroved everywhere for hidden danger and with legs prepared to run like the wind at itsfirst appearance. through the forest they crept noiselessly,buck at the hairy man's heels; and they

were alert and vigilant, the pair of them,ears twitching and moving and nostrils quivering, for the man heard and smelled askeenly as buck. the hairy man could spring up into thetrees and travel ahead as fast as on the ground, swinging by the arms from limb tolimb, sometimes a dozen feet apart, letting go and catching, never falling, nevermissing his grip. in fact, he seemed as much at home amongthe trees as on the ground; and buck had memories of nights of vigil spent beneathtrees wherein the hairy man roosted, holding on tightly as he slept. and closely akin to the visions of thehairy man was the call still sounding in

the depths of the forest.it filled him with a great unrest and strange desires. it caused him to feel a vague, sweetgladness, and he was aware of wild yearnings and stirrings for he knew notwhat. sometimes he pursued the call into theforest, looking for it as though it were a tangible thing, barking softly ordefiantly, as the mood might dictate. he would thrust his nose into the cool woodmoss, or into the black soil where long grasses grew, and snort with joy at the fatearth smells; or he would crouch for hours, as if in concealment, behind fungus-covered

trunks of fallen trees, wide-eyed and wide-eared to all that moved and sounded about him.it might be, lying thus, that he hoped to surprise this call he could not understand. but he did not know why he did thesevarious things. he was impelled to do them, and did notreason about them at all. irresistible impulses seized him. he would be lying in camp, dozing lazily inthe heat of the day, when suddenly his head would lift and his ears cock up, intent andlistening, and he would spring to his feet and dash away, and on and on, for hours,

through the forest aisles and across theopen spaces where the niggerheads bunched. he loved to run down dry watercourses, andto creep and spy upon the bird life in the woods. for a day at a time he would lie in theunderbrush where he could watch the partridges drumming and strutting up anddown. but especially he loved to run in the dimtwilight of the summer midnights, listening to the subdued and sleepy murmurs of theforest, reading signs and sounds as man may read a book, and seeking for the mysterious something that called--called, waking orsleeping, at all times, for him to come.

one night he sprang from sleep with astart, eager-eyed, nostrils quivering and scenting, his mane bristling in recurrentwaves. from the forest came the call (or one noteof it, for the call was many noted), distinct and definite as never before,--along-drawn howl, like, yet unlike, any noise made by husky dog. and he knew it, in the old familiar way, asa sound heard before. he sprang through the sleeping camp and inswift silence dashed through the woods. as he drew closer to the cry he went moreslowly, with caution in every movement, till he came to an open place among thetrees, and looking out saw, erect on

haunches, with nose pointed to the sky, along, lean, timber wolf. he had made no noise, yet it ceased fromits howling and tried to sense his presence. buck stalked into the open, half crouching,body gathered compactly together, tail straight and stiff, feet falling withunwonted care. every movement advertised commingledthreatening and overture of friendliness. it was the menacing truce that marks themeeting of wild beasts that prey. but the wolf fled at sight of him. he followed, with wild leapings, in afrenzy to overtake.

he ran him into a blind channel, in the bedof the creek where a timber jam barred the the wolf whirled about, pivoting on hishind legs after the fashion of joe and of all cornered husky dogs, snarling andbristling, clipping his teeth together in a continuous and rapid succession of snaps. buck did not attack, but circled him aboutand hedged him in with friendly advances. the wolf was suspicious and afraid; forbuck made three of him in weight, while his head barely reached buck's shoulder. watching his chance, he darted away, andthe chase was resumed. time and again he was cornered, and thething repeated, though he was in poor

condition, or buck could not so easily haveovertaken him. he would run till buck's head was even withhis flank, when he would whirl around at bay, only to dash away again at the firstopportunity. but in the end buck's pertinacity wasrewarded; for the wolf, finding that no harm was intended, finally sniffed noseswith him. then they became friendly, and played aboutin the nervous, half-coy way with which fierce beasts belie their fierceness. after some time of this the wolf startedoff at an easy lope in a manner that plainly showed he was going somewhere.

he made it clear to buck that he was tocome, and they ran side by side through the sombre twilight, straight up the creek bed,into the gorge from which it issued, and across the bleak divide where it took itsrise. on the opposite slope of the watershed theycame down into a level country where were great stretches of forest and many streams,and through these great stretches they ran steadily, hour after hour, the sun risinghigher and the day growing warmer. buck was wildly glad. he knew he was at last answering the call,running by the side of his wood brother toward the place from where the call surelycame.

old memories were coming upon him fast, andhe was stirring to them as of old he stirred to the realities of which they werethe shadows. he had done this thing before, somewhere inthat other and dimly remembered world, and he was doing it again, now, running free inthe open, the unpacked earth underfoot, the wide sky overhead. they stopped by a running stream to drink,and, stopping, buck remembered john thornton.he sat down. the wolf started on toward the place fromwhere the call surely came, then returned to him, sniffing noses and making actionsas though to encourage him.

but buck turned about and started slowly onthe back track. for the better part of an hour the wildbrother ran by his side, whining softly. then he sat down, pointed his nose upward,and howled. it was a mournful howl, and as buck heldsteadily on his way he heard it grow faint and fainter until it was lost in thedistance. john thornton was eating dinner when buckdashed into camp and sprang upon him in a frenzy of affection, overturning him,scrambling upon him, licking his face, biting his hand--"playing the general tom- fool," as john thornton characterized it,the while he shook buck back and forth and

cursed him lovingly.for two days and nights buck never left camp, never let thornton out of his sight. he followed him about at his work, watchedhim while he ate, saw him into his blankets at night and out of them in the morning.but after two days the call in the forest began to sound more imperiously than ever. buck's restlessness came back on him, andhe was haunted by recollections of the wild brother, and of the smiling land beyond thedivide and the run side by side through the wide forest stretches. once again he took to wandering in thewoods, but the wild brother came no more;

and though he listened through long vigils,the mournful howl was never raised. he began to sleep out at night, stayingaway from camp for days at a time; and once he crossed the divide at the head of thecreek and went down into the land of timber and streams. there he wandered for a week, seekingvainly for fresh sign of the wild brother, killing his meat as he travelled andtravelling with the long, easy lope that seems never to tire. he fished for salmon in a broad stream thatemptied somewhere into the sea, and by this stream he killed a large black bear,blinded by the mosquitoes while likewise

fishing, and raging through the foresthelpless and terrible. even so, it was a hard fight, and itaroused the last latent remnants of buck's ferocity. and two days later, when he returned to hiskill and found a dozen wolverenes quarrelling over the spoil, he scatteredthem like chaff; and those that fled left two behind who would quarrel no more. the blood-longing became stronger than everbefore. he was a killer, a thing that preyed,living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength andprowess, surviving triumphantly in a

hostile environment where only the strongsurvived. because of all this he became possessed ofa great pride in himself, which communicated itself like a contagion to hisphysical being. it advertised itself in all his movements,was apparent in the play of every muscle, spoke plainly as speech in the way hecarried himself, and made his glorious furry coat if anything more glorious. but for the stray brown on his muzzle andabove his eyes, and for the splash of white hair that ran midmost down his chest, hemight well have been mistaken for a gigantic wolf, larger than the largest ofthe breed.

from his st. bernard father he hadinherited size and weight, but it was his shepherd mother who had given shape to thatsize and weight. his muzzle was the long wolf muzzle, savethat it was larger than the muzzle of any wolf; and his head, somewhat broader, wasthe wolf head on a massive scale. his cunning was wolf cunning, and wildcunning; his intelligence, shepherd intelligence and st. bernard intelligence;and all this, plus an experience gained in the fiercest of schools, made him as formidable a creature as any that roamedthe wild. a carnivorous animal living on a straightmeat diet, he was in full flower, at the

high tide of his life, overspilling withvigor and virility. when thornton passed a caressing hand alonghis back, a snapping and crackling followed the hand, each hair discharging its pentmagnetism at the contact. every part, brain and body, nerve tissueand fibre, was keyed to the most exquisite pitch; and between all the parts there wasa perfect equilibrium or adjustment. to sights and sounds and events whichrequired action, he responded with lightning-like rapidity. quickly as a husky dog could leap to defendfrom attack or to attack, he could leap twice as quickly.

he saw the movement, or heard sound, andresponded in less time than another dog required to compass the mere seeing orhearing. he perceived and determined and respondedin the same instant. in point of fact the three actions ofperceiving, determining, and responding were sequential; but so infinitesimal werethe intervals of time between them that they appeared simultaneous. his muscles were surcharged with vitality,and snapped into play sharply, like steel springs. life streamed through him in splendidflood, glad and rampant, until it seemed

that it would burst him asunder in sheerecstasy and pour forth generously over the world. "never was there such a dog," said johnthornton one day, as the partners watched buck marching out of camp."when he was made, the mould was broke," said pete. "py jingo!i t'ink so mineself," hans affirmed. they saw him marching out of camp, but theydid not see the instant and terrible transformation which took place as soon ashe was within the secrecy of the forest. he no longer marched.

at once he became a thing of the wild,stealing along softly, cat-footed, a passing shadow that appeared anddisappeared among the shadows. he knew how to take advantage of everycover, to crawl on his belly like a snake, and like a snake to leap and strike. he could take a ptarmigan from its nest,kill a rabbit as it slept, and snap in mid air the little chipmunks fleeing a secondtoo late for the trees. fish, in open pools, were not too quick forhim; nor were beaver, mending their dams, too wary.he killed to eat, not from wantonness; but he preferred to eat what he killed himself.

so a lurking humor ran through his deeds,and it was his delight to steal upon the squirrels, and, when he all but had them,to let them go, chattering in mortal fear to the treetops. as the fall of the year came on, the mooseappeared in greater abundance, moving slowly down to meet the winter in the lowerand less rigorous valleys. buck had already dragged down a stray part-grown calf; but he wished strongly for larger and more formidable quarry, and hecame upon it one day on the divide at the head of the creek. a band of twenty moose had crossed overfrom the land of streams and timber, and

chief among them was a great bull. he was in a savage temper, and, standingover six feet from the ground, was as formidable an antagonist as even buck coulddesire. back and forth the bull tossed his greatpalmated antlers, branching to fourteen points and embracing seven feet within thetips. his small eyes burned with a vicious andbitter light, while he roared with fury at sight of buck. from the bull's side, just forward of theflank, protruded a feathered arrow-end, which accounted for his savageness.

guided by that instinct which came from theold hunting days of the primordial world, buck proceeded to cut the bull out from theherd. it was no slight task. he would bark and dance about in front ofthe bull, just out of reach of the great antlers and of the terrible splay hoofswhich could have stamped his life out with a single blow. unable to turn his back on the fangeddanger and go on, the bull would be driven into paroxysms of rage. at such moments he charged buck, whoretreated craftily, luring him on by a

simulated inability to escape. but when he was thus separated from hisfellows, two or three of the younger bulls would charge back upon buck and enable thewounded bull to rejoin the herd. there is a patience of the wild--dogged,tireless, persistent as life itself--that holds motionless for endless hours thespider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade; this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it huntsits living food; and it belonged to buck as he clung to the flank of the herd,retarding its march, irritating the young bulls, worrying the cows with their half-

grown calves, and driving the wounded bullmad with helpless rage. for half a day this continued. buck multiplied himself, attacking from allsides, enveloping the herd in a whirlwind of menace, cutting out his victim as fastas it could rejoin its mates, wearing out the patience of creatures preyed upon, which is a lesser patience than that ofcreatures preying. as the day wore along and the sun droppedto its bed in the northwest (the darkness had come back and the fall nights were sixhours long), the young bulls retraced their steps more and more reluctantly to the aidof their beset leader.

the down-coming winter was harrying them onto the lower levels, and it seemed they could never shake off this tirelesscreature that held them back. besides, it was not the life of the herd,or of the young bulls, that was threatened. the life of only one member was demanded,which was a remoter interest than their lives, and in the end they were content topay the toll. as twilight fell the old bull stood withlowered head, watching his mates--the cows he had known, the calves he had fathered,the bulls he had mastered--as they shambled on at a rapid pace through the fadinglight. he could not follow, for before his noseleaped the merciless fanged terror that

would not let him go. three hundredweight more than half a ton heweighed; he had lived a long, strong life, full of fight and struggle, and at the endhe faced death at the teeth of a creature whose head did not reach beyond his greatknuckled knees. from then on, night and day, buck neverleft his prey, never gave it a moment's rest, never permitted it to browse theleaves of trees or the shoots of young birch and willow. nor did he give the wounded bullopportunity to slake his burning thirst in the slender trickling streams they crossed.often, in desperation, he burst into long

stretches of flight. at such times buck did not attempt to stayhim, but loped easily at his heels, satisfied with the way the game was played,lying down when the moose stood still, attacking him fiercely when he strove toeat or drink. the great head drooped more and more underits tree of horns, and the shambling trot grew weak and weaker. he took to standing for long periods, withnose to the ground and dejected ears dropped limply; and buck found more time inwhich to get water for himself and in which to rest.

at such moments, panting with red lollingtongue and with eyes fixed upon the big bull, it appeared to buck that a change wascoming over the face of things. he could feel a new stir in the land. as the moose were coming into the land,other kinds of life were coming in. forest and stream and air seemed palpitantwith their presence. the news of it was borne in upon him, notby sight, or sound, or smell, but by some other and subtler sense. he heard nothing, saw nothing, yet knewthat the land was somehow different; that through it strange things were afoot andranging; and he resolved to investigate

after he had finished the business in hand. at last, at the end of the fourth day, hepulled the great moose down. for a day and a night he remained by thekill, eating and sleeping, turn and turn about. then, rested, refreshed and strong, heturned his face toward camp and john thornton. he broke into the long easy lope, and wenton, hour after hour, never at loss for the tangled way, heading straight home throughstrange country with a certitude of direction that put man and his magneticneedle to shame.

as he held on he became more and moreconscious of the new stir in the land. there was life abroad in it different fromthe life which had been there throughout the summer.no longer was this fact borne in upon him in some subtle, mysterious way. the birds talked of it, the squirrelschattered about it, the very breeze whispered of it. several times he stopped and drew in thefresh morning air in great sniffs, reading a message which made him leap on withgreater speed. he was oppressed with a sense of calamityhappening, if it were not calamity already

happened; and as he crossed the lastwatershed and dropped down into the valley toward camp, he proceeded with greatercaution. three miles away he came upon a fresh trailthat sent his neck hair rippling and bristling, it led straight toward camp andjohn thornton. buck hurried on, swiftly and stealthily,every nerve straining and tense, alert to the multitudinous details which told astory--all but the end. his nose gave him a varying description ofthe passage of the life on the heels of which he was travelling.he remarked the pregnant silence of the forest.

the bird life had flitted.the squirrels were in hiding. one only he saw,--a sleek gray fellow,flattened against a gray dead limb so that he seemed a part of it, a woody excrescenceupon the wood itself. as buck slid along with the obscureness ofa gliding shadow, his nose was jerked suddenly to the side as though a positiveforce had gripped and pulled it. he followed the new scent into a thicketand found nig. he was lying on his side, dead where he haddragged himself, an arrow protruding, head and feathers, from either side of his body. a hundred yards farther on, buck came uponone of the sled-dogs thornton had bought in

dawson. this dog was thrashing about in a death-struggle, directly on the trail, and buck passed around him without stopping. from the camp came the faint sound of manyvoices, rising and falling in a sing-song chant. bellying forward to the edge of theclearing, he found hans, lying on his face, feathered with arrows like a porcupine. at the same instant buck peered out wherethe spruce-bough lodge had been and saw what made his hair leap straight up on hisneck and shoulders.

a gust of overpowering rage swept over him. he did not know that he growled, but hegrowled aloud with a terrible ferocity. for the last time in his life he allowedpassion to usurp cunning and reason, and it was because of his great love for johnthornton that he lost his head. the yeehats were dancing about the wreckageof the spruce-bough lodge when they heard a fearful roaring and saw rushing upon theman animal the like of which they had never seen before. it was buck, a live hurricane of fury,hurling himself upon them in a frenzy to destroy.

he sprang at the foremost man (it was thechief of the yeehats), ripping the throat wide open till the rent jugular spouted afountain of blood. he did not pause to worry the victim, butripped in passing, with the next bound tearing wide the throat of a second man.there was no withstanding him. he plunged about in their very midst,tearing, rending, destroying, in constant and terrific motion which defied the arrowsthey discharged at him. in fact, so inconceivably rapid were hismovements, and so closely were the indians tangled together, that they shot oneanother with the arrows; and one young hunter, hurling a spear at buck in mid air,

drove it through the chest of anotherhunter with such force that the point broke through the skin of the back and stood outbeyond. then a panic seized the yeehats, and theyfled in terror to the woods, proclaiming as they fled the advent of the evil spirit. and truly buck was the fiend incarnate,raging at their heels and dragging them down like deer as they raced through thetrees. it was a fateful day for the yeehats. they scattered far and wide over thecountry, and it was not till a week later that the last of the survivors gatheredtogether in a lower valley and counted

their losses. as for buck, wearying of the pursuit, hereturned to the desolated camp. he found pete where he had been killed inhis blankets in the first moment of surprise. thornton's desperate struggle was fresh-written on the earth, and buck scented every detail of it down to the edge of adeep pool. by the edge, head and fore feet in thewater, lay skeet, faithful to the last. the pool itself, muddy and discolored fromthe sluice boxes, effectually hid what it contained, and it contained john thornton;for buck followed his trace into the water,

from which no trace led away. all day buck brooded by the pool or roamedrestlessly about the camp. death, as a cessation of movement, as apassing out and away from the lives of the living, he knew, and he knew john thorntonwas dead. it left a great void in him, somewhat akinto hunger, but a void which ached and ached, and which food could not fill, attimes, when he paused to contemplate the carcasses of the yeehats, he forgot the pain of it; and at such times he was awareof a great pride in himself,--a pride greater than any he had yet experienced.

he had killed man, the noblest game of all,and he had killed in the face of the law of club and fang.he sniffed the bodies curiously. they had died so easily. it was harder to kill a husky dog thanthem. they were no match at all, were it not fortheir arrows and spears and clubs. thenceforward he would be unafraid of themexcept when they bore in their hands their arrows, spears, and clubs. night came on, and a full moon rose highover the trees into the sky, lighting the land till it lay bathed in ghostly day.

and with the coming of the night, broodingand mourning by the pool, buck became alive to a stirring of the new life in the forestother than that which the yeehats had made, he stood up, listening and scenting. from far away drifted a faint, sharp yelp,followed by a chorus of similar sharp yelps.as the moments passed the yelps grew closer and louder. again buck knew them as things heard inthat other world which persisted in his memory.he walked to the centre of the open space and listened.

it was the call, the many-noted call,sounding more luringly and compellingly than ever before.and as never before, he was ready to obey. john thornton was dead. the last tie was broken.man and the claims of man no longer bound hunting their living meat, as the yeehatswere hunting it, on the flanks of the migrating moose, the wolf pack had at lastcrossed over from the land of streams and timber and invaded buck's valley. into the clearing where the moonlightstreamed, they poured in a silvery flood; and in the centre of the clearing stoodbuck, motionless as a statue, waiting their

coming. they were awed, so still and large hestood, and a moment's pause fell, till the boldest one leaped straight for him.like a flash buck struck, breaking the neck. then he stood, without movement, as before,the stricken wolf rolling in agony behind three others tried it in sharp succession;and one after the other they drew back, streaming blood from slashed throats orshoulders. this was sufficient to fling the whole packforward, pell-mell, crowded together, blocked and confused by its eagerness topull down the prey.

buck's marvellous quickness and agilitystood him in good stead. pivoting on his hind legs, and snapping andgashing, he was everywhere at once, presenting a front which was apparentlyunbroken so swiftly did he whirl and guard from side to side. but to prevent them from getting behindhim, he was forced back, down past the pool and into the creek bed, till he brought upagainst a high gravel bank. he worked along to a right angle in thebank which the men had made in the course of mining, and in this angle he came tobay, protected on three sides and with nothing to do but face the front.

and so well did he face it, that at the endof half an hour the wolves drew back discomfited. the tongues of all were out and lolling,the white fangs showing cruelly white in the moonlight. some were lying down with heads raised andears pricked forward; others stood on their feet, watching him; and still others werelapping water from the pool. one wolf, long and lean and gray, advancedcautiously, in a friendly manner, and buck recognized the wild brother with whom hehad run for a night and a day. he was whining softly, and, as buck whined,they touched noses.

then an old wolf, gaunt and battle-scarred,came forward. buck writhed his lips into the preliminaryof a snarl, but sniffed noses with him, whereupon the old wolf sat down, pointednose at the moon, and broke out the long wolf howl. the others sat down and howled.and now the call came to buck in unmistakable accents.he, too, sat down and howled. this over, he came out of his angle and thepack crowded around him, sniffing in half- friendly, half-savage manner.the leaders lifted the yelp of the pack and sprang away into the woods.

the wolves swung in behind, yelping inchorus. and buck ran with them, side by side withthe wild brother, yelping as he ran. and here may well end the story of buck. the years were not many when the yeehatsnoted a change in the breed of timber wolves; for some were seen with splashes ofbrown on head and muzzle, and with a rift of white centring down the chest. but more remarkable than this, the yeehatstell of a ghost dog that runs at the head of the pack. they are afraid of this ghost dog, for ithas cunning greater than they, stealing

from their camps in fierce winters, robbingtheir traps, slaying their dogs, and defying their bravest hunters. nay, the tale grows worse. hunters there are who fail to return to thecamp, and hunters there have been whom their tribesmen found with throats slashedcruelly open and with wolf prints about them in the snow greater than the prints ofany wolf. each fall, when the yeehats follow themovement of the moose, there is a certain valley which they never enter. and women there are who become sad when theword goes over the fire of how the evil

spirit came to select that valley for anabiding-place. in the summers there is one visitor,however, to that valley, of which the yeehats do not know.it is a great, gloriously coated wolf, like, and yet unlike, all other wolves. he crosses alone from the smiling timberland and comes down into an open space among the trees. here a yellow stream flows from rottedmoose-hide sacks and sinks into the ground, with long grasses growing through it andvegetable mould overrunning it and hiding its yellow from the sun; and here he muses

for a time, howling once, long andmournfully, ere he departs. but he is not always alone. when the long winter nights come on and thewolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the headof the pack through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his fellows, his great throat a-bellow ashe sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.

ician jose marti once said, "rights are taken, not requested. they're demanded, not begged for." hello and welcome to case closed. we have to fight hard for our rights here. and even then, you can get accused of something. but you can't beg either... we have to work for them. let's see what this first case is about.

please bring out the litigants. i'm a woman and i'm going to compete as a woman regardless of what him or anyone else has to say. it doesn't matter if she cut everything off and got silicone implants where the sun don't shine. she's not competing in my competition! good afternoon and welcome. -good afternoon, ma'am. -good afternoon. tanya, you're suing juan carlos.

tell me who he is, why you're suing him, and what you demand in order to settle this case. good afternoon, ma'am. i'm suing this man for $50,000. okay. i'm suing him for damages caused by his discrimination. it all started five years ago, ma'am. i decided to enter his fitness competition. i'm a fitness trainer.

i'm also a kickboxing trainer and specialize in body combat. i've trained arduously for a competition he's going to host in los angeles. so he organizes these kinds of competitions. he owns the gym i used to frequent. oh, okay. the thing is, i refuse to keep going to his gym because he lied to me. here's what happened.

this all happened five years ago when i started to... she used to work with me, ma'am. no, i didn't! i started training at his gym. he told me he wanted to help be train and prepare. supposedly, he didn't know i was a man. she always denied it. you lied to yourself. i didn't lie to him. he lied to himself.

the thing is, i'm a woman now, but i was born a man. i've been taking hormones since i was 12 years old. i wanted to change my body and the way i was. i wanted to develop more estrogen and suppress my testosterone so that my body could morph. that's what i'm still doing to this day. this man offered to help me train for the competition. i accepted his help. however, now he won't let me participate

in his competition. i demand $50,000! but why do you...? hold on. i demand $50,000 in damages, ma'am. how so? i underwent gender reassignment surgery two years ago. he claims i still can't compete as a woman,

but of course i can! he won't let me participate. i'm legally considered a woman. -i have the evidence right here. -let's see. is that your license? it's my id, ma'am. i'm legally considered a woman. so once you underwent surgery and removed your genitals... so this is an arizona id where it specifies that you're a female.

i'm a woman. therefore, i can compete in his competition. the issue now is, him and i had a thing for five years. now he claims he doesn't like men. he's gay and he doesn't want to admit it. come here. i want to give you your id back. are you trying to say that you two were in a relationship prior to your sex change?

-he claims he's not gay. -i'm not! but we've been in a relationship for five years now. we dated up to a month ago. why'd you break up? we broke up because he lied to me. he used and abused me. five years ago, when i started preparing for the competition by getting stronger and gaining more muscle mass...

i wanted to be at my best because it's a tough competition. he started talking to me and offering me gifts. he'd invite me out to eat and to the movies. he claims he's never liked men. he claims i lied to him the whole time. that's a lie. would you two have sex? yes, ma'am.

we got to know each other intimately over the years. our relationship grew more and more intense through the years. i was married. excuse you. the first time he came on to me was when he invited me to the movies. i thought, "why not?" after we finished training,

he took me to the movies since there was a movie i'd been wanting to watch. while we were in the movie theater, he started touching me. i didn't want to back out. i liked him. i felt sexually attracted to him. you lied to me. i figured there was no harm. so what happened? was he surprised?

he kissed me. i performed oral sex on him in the movies. -you performed oral sex on him. -a little. if i'd known the truth, that never would've happened. so that's how our relationship progressed. so when did he find out you had a penis? supposedly, he had no clue i had a penis. but here's what happened.

he started giving me little presents here and there. he was doting on you. yes. a man would never do that for another man unless he was interested in him. so now you're a man? what are you, anyway? he'd even buy me underwear so i could look sexy. he'd buy me sexy underwear, leggings, and shorts. some time passed and i started feeling itchy.

i didn't know what was going on. you felt itchy and irritated? yes, i was itchy and irritated. i didn't know what was wrong with me, but i didn't know what was going on. i was so obsessed with feeling like a woman that i'd use pads... i'd wear them during my workouts to take care of any sweat.

right. i thought that's what was irritating me. so i stopped using pads, but the itchiness continued. as the days went by, i noticed that my genitals were getting swollen and dark. i was scared by then. i was constantly itchy. -did you see a doctor? -yes, i did.

what'd they say? i was peeing blood, ma'am. what was the diagnosis? the doctor asked if i was using anything new. apparently, the panties and shorts he had gifted me were laced with pesticides! he wanted... he supposedly wanted... he wanted your parts to fall off? he tried using pesticides to get my genitals to fall off!

i was simply doing her a favor, ma'am. so you admit it? i was helping her out. so you are admitting it. that's why i hate him so much. that's why i demand $50,000. of course. where am i going to get that kind of money? well, eventually you got your surgery done.

yes, i underwent gender reassignment surgery after that scare, the doctor recommended... that you get surgery. yes, he said it was best for me. the thing that drove me to get surgery was this. he promised he'd marry me if i got the surgery. i was married at the time, ma'am. she's still biologically a man. she might not be a man physically and anatomically,

but the human genome dictates that she have more muscle mass than the average woman. she's at an unfair advantage. if you tried to box with this woman... she could kill you with one blow. i wouldn't say one... just look at those things on her chest. she could kill someone with those. i don't know.

i'm just trying to enforce the rules. so what are you proposing? that she compete in the men's category? obviously. but doesn't that seem absurd to you? these men will be wearing their fitness bottoms and wearing nothing on top. what's she going to do? is she going shirtless as well?

you're essentially ridiculing your own competition. all the contrary. you're going to make the men in the competition feel ridiculous because there's a woman competing against them. the state of arizona if not the whole country has regarded her as a woman. are you going to challenge that by refusing to let her participate in a competition for women?

she has an unfair advantage! she's a woman, not a man! it wouldn't be fair to the other women! that's what he fails to understand, ma'am. i'm a woman! this man is clearly confused. he opened up his statement by saying things were simple, but then he went on to spew this nonsense. he also seems to be confused when it comes his private life.

when they started dating five years ago, she hadn't gotten her surgery yet. however, they were already in an intimate relationship yet he claims he doesn't like men. so he's the one who's confused, here. this is all a product of her lies. from the moment she started training with me at the gym... so let her fool everyone in the competition. if she managed to fool you before she had surgery...

why go against it? she's a woman! if you say so. she may be legally considered a woman, but she's not competing in my competition. i make the rules. i don't want her competing as a woman. -she has an unfair advantage. -okay, listen up. first of all, you probably shouldn't have come here.

by agreeing to come here, you're agreeing to abide by the referee's ruling. that is, yours truly. if you're so bent on her not competing, you probably shouldn't have come. now you're at mercy of my ruling. that's the first thing. secondly, i'd like to ask you something. you admitted to lacing her underwear with pesticides.

she had mentioned something along those lines so i decided to help her. help her in what way? i was helping her get rid of her unwanted member. why? for whatever reason she wanted to get rid of it. i don't know. i was just trying to help her. i don't know why she's changing the story now and making it seem like i hurt her.

your marriage must also be in a state of confusion. thanks to her, my marriage is ruined. she ruined everything. my life is over. she ruined everything. not you. you haven't done anything. you're just fine. you're happily confused. he was a victim of my lies.

a victim of your lies. he chose not to see the truth, ma'am. that's right. you always denied your true identity. alright, who brought a witness? i did. i did too. bring out the plaintiff's witness. well, this is a fairly recent topic

given all the changes going on in the lgbt community. these kinds of changes are occurring more and more often. there are lots of lawsuits underway be it for bathrooms, competitions, and whatnot. at the end of the day, why complicate ourselves? we've evolved as human beings. these things even occur in nature. there are animals who naturally change sex over time, like fish.

however, we always insist on complicating things instead of accepting things for what they are. good afternoon. what's your name? good afternoon, ma'am. my name is tatiana. tatiana. you're the plaintiff's witness. how do you know her? tania and i met at the gym. we're both very athletic. we've both been training for this competition for a while.

out of all the women training for this at the gym, i think she and i are the top competitors. why's that? why do you think tfor this competition. because she was born a man, she has to take hormones, which makes her weak. she may be better at certain things, but the rest of us can probably top her in other sports.

bring out the defendant's witness. those are the kind of distinctions people make. the whole topic of trans people is nothing new, people. it's been around for ages. now is when we're finally dealing with it as a part of everyday popular culture. good afternoon. my name is karina. okay, karina.

you're here on behalf of the defendant. the thing is, i'm also trans. i haven't had surgery, though. no matter how much estrogen we take or how much stuff we do to try to seem more like women, we still have the same strength as men. i don't think she should compete. i'm competing as well, but i'm competing as a man. deep down inside, we have the same strength as all men.

we're still men from a genetic standpoint. okay. that's your opinion. i'm sorry to interrupt, ma'am... but he's planning on making us compete together. he claims i'm just as much a man as she is... but the difference is, she's only 99% woman. she still has 1% of her masculinity hanging between her legs. i'm a real woman!

you're right. that's true. at least i'm not fake like you. she didn't deny it. let's see what our experts have to say about this. let's welcome dr. caroline maldonado, attorney lizette sierra, and mr. williams lucena, sexologist. are you two friends? is there something going on? we started seeing each other a month ago.

for work. she didn't say you were seeing each other for work. -she didn't, but i did. -listen to me. she didn't have to lie. everyone knows you're not seeing each other "for work." it's not a work relationship. you need to see a shrink, honey. you're in denial. he doesn't know what he likes.

hello. dr. maldonado. let's talk about the effects of testosterone and estrogen on the human body and the hormonal changes that occur after gender reassignment surgery. once the patient begins estrogen therapy, there's usually a huge change. hair patterns might change, acne might kick in,

their skin becomes suppler and their breasts grow in. testicles become smaller. any muscular changes? muscle mass will typically decrease. that's usually the last thing to go, but after about three years, there should be significant loss of muscle. there shouldn't be much of a difference.

why doesn't this happen with crossfit, ms. sierra? i know you're knowledgeable on the subject because you're into bodybuilding. yes, that's right. this is rather interesting because there's no legal precedent for it. from a legal standpoint, she's considered a woman. if she can prove that her testosterone levels are below ten nanomoles

for one whole year, then she should be allowed to compete. is that the cutoff? ten nanomoles? by the way, about these competitions... i don't do crossfit. i do bodybuilding. the premise of these competitions is to compete against yourself. her witness, which is competing against her, feels very comfortable.

that's how it usually is in the community. if she underwent gender reassignment and has been under hormone therapy, there's no reason why she shouldn't compete in the women's division. now, mr. lucena. i think the defendant is the troubled one here. he claims he's heterosexual... but he's obviously attracted to transgender men and women.

yes, he probably has a direct attraction to them. but he can't admit it. it's scary for him. it generates conflict within him. he's a married man. this is seen quite commonly in my clinic. i've seen many married men who come to me seeking relief. they want to manage that transition. they're still attracted to their wives,

whom they've been married to for ten or 20 years, but all that sexual energy is focused on a trans person. for them, it's a huge point of conflict. it is conflictive, though. it sure is. if you begin to analyze the concept... it is conflictive. it's conflictive because we always manage to define sexuality

in some way or another. i think we're starting to realize that sexual identity is like an amoeba in the sea of sexuality. right, evidently. it's a spectrum. people refer to spectrums of sexuality. there aren't these strict parameters anymore. before, either you were straight or you were gay. not anymore.

now there are a variety of sexual orientations, at least eight or nine completely different ones. people try these different orientations out to see where they feel most comfortable in. where do they belong? they're trying to figure out where they belong. great. alright, juan carlos. i hope you've learned something amidst all this.

i know you're probably bored because in that crazy mind of yours, you're probably wondering about your next crush and how to lace their panties with pesticides. god knows where your mind is. but... as an organizer for these kinds of events, if you're going to apply these kinds of absurd rules where participants can only compete based off the sex listed on their birth certificate,

you're going to have a hard time. some of these people have had their birth certificates retroactively corrected and you won't be able to tell otherwise. besides, it's not like you can sleep with all the trans people in the world. that's going to be difficult. given the fact that she argued her case adequately and managed to prove all of her claims,

she just won this case. i rule in your favor. you're to pay her $50,000 in the next 30 days. it's final. case closed!

i'm really sorry. yes, i'll tell them. we'll talk later. what did salvador say? sara was just sentenced to 25 years in jail. what? but she was being released. we even had... a welcome home party, right?

i guess it's been cancelled. nothing good ever comes from drugs. blood is always spilled. will you look at that? what a large, generous beast. miguel... you have no idea what just happened. i just spoke to manuel caicedo. relax, sweetie.

this is a day to celebrate. i want only happiness in this house. breathe. tell me what happened. did you speak to sara? is she on her way? sara isn't going to make it to the party. the judge sentenced her to 25 years in jail. poor sara. salvador didn't take it well at all. they say everything is god's will,

but he went too far this time. son of a bitch! the s--- really hit the fan this time, josefina. i need sara free! please... our business is going to hell. calm down. manuel says he can get her out. i'm going to do things my way.

call everyone and tell them the party's off. give the food away and call the band. tell everyone we're sick. this time, i'm going to get sara out of that jail if i have to shoot everyone, pay everyone, or both. hello? yes. thank you. plutarco, has it been confirmed?

is she at quintanilla's ranch? sara was sentenced to 25 years in jail. 25 years? why? i don't know. we have to wait... no, i won't wait a second longer. sara's in jail because of her enemies, and i'm going to teach those bastards a lesson. i have a way.

they'll never want to mess with mrs. acero again, let alone with me! look who's here. it's you. los tucanes de tijuana. and you must be araceli, right? you've heard of me? of course i have. in fact, i like all your songs. i know most of them.

i heard you'd be here today, and i'm thrilled that we're sharing the stage. thank you very much. likewise. keep your eyes peeled, cochi. her truck ought to be appearing any moment. okay, boss. keep your eyes open. and may malverde help us.

just the sight of me alive is going to kill mrs. acero. what's up, pepito? still in the prison? no, we just left. get ready, boys. time to make swiss cheese out of them. it's an injustice. these bastards f---ed over my mom. she doesn't deserve what they're doing to her.

chava, we both know your mom's in jail for being a drug dealer. you and i are brothers. there's no need to lie. regardless of what you say, you know everything my mother's done has been to protect me. like miriam with you. oh, please. our mothers have done some bad stuff,

and we're paying for their mistakes. or have you forgotten how often the police f--- with you? i'm not in the mood to talk about this. okay, let me know if you hear anything about your mother. relax, chava. the boss won't let mrs. acero remain in jail 20 more years. why do you think still think your boss is a god? miguel quintanilla no longer has any power. get your head out of the clouds.

that snob of a president is doing whatever he can to screw over my mom. he wants to come across as a hero in his war on drugs for when he's up for reelection. i don't care if i have to set that prison on fire. i'll do whatever i have to do get my mother out. 10900:346:35,195 --> 00:34:36,595 who's this lunatic? who are they? do it. blow them up.

reverse! you should've seen my son's face. they're merciless. the judge sentenced you like he would have a murderer, the son of a bitch. and i dared to hope all because of my desire to be with him. no. if there were no hope, we'd all be dead. and as far as i know, i'm the only one without a future here.

so don't you give in, sarita. don't give in. why don't you escape with me in three weeks? run, chava! indio amaro. my mother killed you. look! it's salvador acero himself! you've got more lives than a cat.

where's your mother? where is she? where is your mother? in jail! where you and your boss put her? we'll use you to catch your mother. now that your mother's in hiding, we'll use you to draw her out. bring him with us.

you helped me dig the tunnels. you deserve... no, faria. if i escape, they win. the government would make a big show of finding me. what are you going to do in here? when you get out, you'll be a lonely, old lady, forgotten by all. not even your will recognize you.

consuelo's right. no. i'm sorry. i don't want to spend the rest of my life running. that's no life for me or salvador. my son's had it hard enough as it is. the dea, pgr, and drug traffickers have harassed him for years. when i went to jail, they took everything from us. we were out on the street.

i can't be a fugitive. they don't deserve that. hold on. that's chava's car. stop. what the hell happened here? chavita! kid! what the hell did they do? chavita! where are you?

oh my god! they took chavita! you bastards! you son of a bitch, teca martinez! is that my present? ready for the celebration? now let's see which dog's bite is stronger! five years waiting for this moment. don't tell me she got away. you let a woman outsmart all of you? no, she wasn't in the car, boss.

she must've taken a different car to fool us. but i didn't show up empty-handed.0:39:27.893,1193:02:47.295 i have a surprise for you. a surprise? well well... mr. acero. why'd you bring me the calf instead of the cow? you know how it is. wherever her son is, she'll run to.

and that's where... and that's where we'll be waiting. her destiny, death, and me. what's going on? where is my nephew? sara entrusted me with salvador's life. that kid is like a son to me. 19400:40;05,499 --> 00:40:08,400sara would die if she found out her son was taken. who are you calling? we're going to fix this, even if we have to open the gates of hell.

acacio, this is miguel quintanilla. now this is a surprise. if it isn't the capo of huentitan. mr. miguel quintanilla. to what do i owe the honor? we haven't spoken in ages. is the jalisco that f---ed that you have to call me? where's salvador? how much do you want for him? you really caught me off guard.

as far as i know, that kid ought to be reunited with his mom. bad news comes to vultures like you in a heartbeat. you know full well the judge denied her freedom and sentenced her to more time. you're wrong. i didn't know. and i don't know anything about her kid, but i'll let you know if that changes. see you.

indio! sir? guess who called. mr. miguel quintanilla. he said sara's still in jail, but i'm not buying it. she's hiding from me because she knows my payback's been building up for five years. do we put it out there that we've got the kid? call your tv contact.

i want everyone to find out mrs. acero's son was kidnapped. we'll just see if she doesn't emerge from her hideout, begging on her knees. what do you want? my mother was sentenced to 25 more years. 0:42:00.814,1193:02:47.295why don't you get that? you sound just like your mother and father. all you aceros know how to do is lie. i wish i were half the man my father was.

you don't know anything. you think i don't know about the $3 million you gave him to incriminate him? i stopped trusting him, and my entire family looked at him like a criminal! everything that's happened to me is your fault! you and this bastard! the only one to blame here is your dear mother. she lied to me.

sara betrayed me. she's a bitch and she deserves... damn... i think i'll introduce you to my rottweilers. they'll be nothing left once they're through with you. this kid needed a dad to show him some respect. no matter where on earth she's hiding, i know what to do to get her to turn up. kill me and you'll be sorry, you bastards.

vengeance is an art, kid. and i've got better plans for you. don't move. bring the doctors. we've got three mules to operate on. reliable sources confirm that salvador acero, son of the known drug dealer sara aguilar bermudez, better known as mrs. acero, was kidnapped. i don't believe it.

salvador was kidnapped. doctor! nurse! come quick! please help! isn't our hospital nice, indio? let's see. how much should we load them up with, boss? this guy looks like he can handle two kilos. let's see her.

excuse me. it'll just be a moment. this one can handle a half-kilo. what do you think? two and a half sounds good. these will make it to san diego no problem. this guy here... excuse me. this guy's going to distract security at the airport. the police must be given salvador's description.

his mother's free, but she won't be reunited with her son because he'll be in jail. that's right. tomorrow, salvador acero will be arrested for drug trafficking. for a half-kilo, he could get up to ten years. you're right. just put a half-kilo in him. i don't want to lose too much merchandise.0:45:30.757,1193:02:47.295life can be so unfair.

this is what the audience will meanhearing in the san francisco opera house the sound of warning for an organelle this is what the musician will beplaying a little apple chutney computer was a hardware/software language calledyou draw 100 computers can make beautiful music fanswill find out today on this edition on the computer chronicles the the i'm are well the computer chronicles is madepossible by leading it makers ibm-compatible computer systemsincluding lotus look-alikes reggie

word processing the spelling correctioncommunication software and he's compatible 1200 baud modemleading edge with over 1000 service centers nationwide additional funding is provided bymcgraw-hill publishers a bite bites detailedtechnical articles on new hardware software and languages coverdevelopments in computer technology worldwide the welcome to the computer chronicles i'mstewardship hey this is gary killed all

in gary this is the casio sk1 his computer keyboards really come along way in two years since we last initial and computers music this littlethink us about a hundred bucks does all the usual things as a built-insynthesizer and watch what else this little guy can do it has a digital samplers so thatcomputer chronicle computer chronicle yeah carol you can do anything you wantwith this keyword it's quite amazing it sees me one of the reasons computers andmusic i moved along so quickly is because of the establishment of astandard in this case the many standard

poster at the mall personal computerindustry is really based upon standards starting with a floppy disk in the earlyseventies rs 232 the idea motherboard processor isoffering systems languages all these things our basic standards that we've all hereto admitted standards gonna give us a whole bunch a new interesting and fun application forwe're gonna see some others today we'll take a look at the commodore amiga theatari st see what kinda music you can get out at those machines

we look at the new apple two gs and seehow good it is with music and sound we're going to start out by going to acomputer expo which had a concert featuring amacintosh i'm on yeah leuenberger is a musician a composer a writer and performer withthe synthesizer he can mimic any traditional instrument and invent afew new ones as well the equipment that makes it possible isa combination of software and hardware that communicates with a synthesizerthrough a musical instrument digital interface or midi port theprocess begins

on a macintosh screen with a programcalled professional composer to lay the foundation for peace theprogram counts out and automatically numbers themeasures creating a musical sketch on which he plays notes gary can then move directly to hiskeyboard the output of which means into the macagain through a midi port what's the roughdraft is in the machine's memory you can be played back and manipulatedwho carries a digital sequencer with 8 midi ports to assign different voicesto

8 separate synthesizers if he answeredrun park the midi clock will synchronize the beach is itempowers the peace i start the drum machine and i when i fine-tuning is completed the mididata goes to a yamaha digital sequencer which controls theplayback at the completed piece through the 8sympathizers gary can still change the pc any point or play along in real time room

the synthesizers began to appear in thenineteen sixties and found a special nation in themusical world over the next decade now with the admin midi electronic musiccan take center stage 1 them on do well joining us now in the studios chrisfrench music software consultant

activision sitting next to chris's bob moorepresident of hybrid arts in los angeles gary sir it is a really looks like examplethe midi application is a music studio to send the dollar package runs on the atari fight yest them but tocompose and playback music circus commercials for products sure beglad to mostly operations are done just with the mouse alone the nurse wholeft the back room is real time feedback as you move a note on the staff that'sright as you move the no

up and down the staff you can hear thecomputer play that no and it also tells you from the message board with a notice i can select most music notation ameasure bars ties about 15 different instrumentcolors to work with to distinguish oneself from another a triplets accents dotted notes and here i can select allthe notes from hold to a 30 second now and that's withtemples from 57 corners a minute to 200 corners and just quite fast we havearrests

i can put an accidental a note to changeits key or stay in the currently if not we willall the features in the composer will be using just about all the notations shows a piece of music that would play justusing the atari so much of himself once again distract the mouse up to filehit song files and i want to load a song download asong called and vision which you have your own yes i composes imade up my own sounds with the software and then compose withno case different color here's a different sound

to now take the mouse cursor down toscroll and musicals home okay now we're just using the attire nothing else that's correct the cells inthe ataris play on the business up for sale him and now you got me into eyes overhere introduces other players and tell me what you doing okay these a midiinstruments were using a midi cable out the back on the atari st which is the many pores built-in and we're usinga casio cz 101

a tone generator from yamaha quality x7 we've got a latin percussion drummachine and a regular trap set drum machine these are all midi instruments and the notes will tell the mediaservice want to play as a music is being schooled by okay so soonreynoso orchestra by 40 k adult this song with the trash can goback to my file sound files on a lotta song i actuallythis was a popular song call axel f from themovie beverly hills cop up this is not the original recordingthough i wrote this music on the screen

found sounds in my synthesizers and drummachines that i thought matched the original song and wrote on thescreen saver to disk and this is what you get from the deserve our daughters that is a music that is being read andmany data spit out to the machines for how long it take in thisonto the about three and a half hours at-bat but bob was turn you know whatwhat is hybridized what kinda music productions wemanufacture a whole series of products for the 8-bit our computer and the16-minute our computer

you have something called adapt rightaid app is a system that we refer to as the tape was recording studio or digital audio onwards you showed us andthis is their yes ago ensure okay let's do it themusic studios a softer really for the consumer market understand bob you haveproducts for both consumers and professionals can show circles are broad sure i'llshow you are still easy track you track is a program sells for 600dollars in the make a chain stores press easy driveable to start and stop

the drum machine within the synthesizerchange patches status this machine are sends commands to this synthesizerwhich is another computer to change patches make voice changes inand start shock trauma centers are things like a stopper by 12 and continue on louis cook some real work easy track isdoing with the casio keyboard sure what he's a truck is able to dohere's i'm able to turn tracks often on you'll get a recording studio yearswhich ryan

southern girl is commenced yearly playedmusic back in my view record the resultant sure my concern southerngerman shane play a part keep that here that back you see the part that ijust played there 2012 at a national auto correct thetiming on that truck to crack to assess sixteenth note fromthat rock to that track replace it players knowthey the time he's been trying to give otherthe high and you got paid out what to do paid app allows me to take well

replace tape i'll about us a depositionsix-minute recording system that for the most part in our eyesreplaces tape machines and that's our eventual goal is actually replacetechnicians the tape this recording studio way to pierce the version i but with meis a two-channel stereo on high and plus for type dbm input are recording system sixteen-bit areright now this person i'm showing a cd compatible with a professional system call todiscuss

on well if you'd 12 as far as somecompetitors were planning within five years to really such a system appear onthree three hundred thousand dollar something like that on our system our system the law and sis miss twothousand dollars sciences in asotin remember our when we going with the cd player cdplayer i can start from here and it's a sound source the stereo outto this or patch the stereo inputs have our recording system recording systemtakes the analog information from here digitizesit saves it into round and i can play

that back to manipulate that information business captured the sound right afterright playing from here member on capture that sound i can graba section if i wanted i can zoom in if i want to take a close look at what i'm about tocapture i can scroll that around grab a section listen to that so this is sort of like the equivalentto the word processing system but for music instead right i can grab a section place it inyour also the song i'd like to

so you can make any audio source put intheir massager play with sure music than actually this system is a lotmore than just a recording system or also able to take other functions such as anoscilloscope by 12 or a mixing system status reply on thelaw for city for truck over logging on to learn we're at it i'm afraid okay gary we seewhat you can do with an atari st just a minute we're gonna see would you do withthe media and the new apple two gs if you'reinterested music to stay with us

dogged well now replaced all the major machineshere for another demonstration avenue yurman being that's chris potter ofmedics cooperation the new synthesizer the yamaha dx 100 inthe new computer the commodore amiga across as a partner in software productyour call soundscape american shortest picture some sleep offers the recordingenvironment texas music operating environment that allows me to play upwith up to 16 external synthesizers as well as using internal sampled soundsi've got a little piece in here that'll play the you busy playing in the play apiano

i'm hoping do is take the sound andwe're gonna release examines mine last year deletions millioninternally he's a little sounds like bill useshundred-mile so go in as i choose different optionshere you can see the breeze menus pop up and there are many many options withinsoundscape environment going to sample that's the current asounder the organ that was in there i'm gonna go inand sample wine glass should have the wine glasses created anew voices inside and i gotta remember

to turn off looping here there we go and and you can see it says new sampleappear now playing back the pm's manasquan class on the the meat isparticularly well suited for this because it has for digital analog girl converters in it so i can play backsounds very well also in addition as i'm gonna sound i can have a background task in theright hands meters graphics running in the background anne's couldactually be edited

and played around with him not conductlegal in play with the pictures in santa cruz the sampling minus public display blog the honey was a better quality centeredsample all it seems less quality sound perfectly and good for the home studioare you're able to do you know sampling and sample your catdata matters what was the cost the soundscape insists the soundscapesystems 149 dollars for the system and that concludes all the modules haveseen the sample itself is a small box here the plug straight into the porttenants another

ninety nine dollars with software thiscould be used by the amateur musician at home or even more professional yes it's already beingused by several professional musicians and offers unlimited over trackcapability limited only by memory and security related by a limited bytime yes thank you very much in gary we're gonna go take a look now at thenew apple two gs and see what kinda music weeded out a bit ago thank you chris sitting here patientlywaiting for us has been curtis sasaki curtis is the product manager for thetwo gs an apple

stir we're seeing the but attentiongiven to the amiga and atari because the sound processing capabilities and i'll get a chance to see theoffering from reese nothing from apple's call the apple two gs i guessthe g stands for graphics test for sound clear tells about occurssure what we did well done is we've got over the insightex sound chip from ross keyboard input is part of theapple to gs so that allows us to do both digitizingand synthesizing those songs and music well play is a sample of a

contactors play because this is a good to see more ofthe company this is stored in memory that's correct yes okay you can use orin memory foresee that onto a floppy disks with them which was the capacityhow much can you store and digitize up to as much memory happens tosystem the apt to gs together eight megabytesmemory taken away from the atlanta this particulars sequences along the same this is a busis anarchy in length in this how many seconds but twentyyears as

okay and this demonstration you showingasus is in a particular software product this is just a demonstration program itshows how you can digitize sounds that surround upon by this particular thingwhen i n but what about the synthesizing andsynthesizing you try for me with a program calledmusic instruction set was brought on on original apple to the programmer willharvey has had quite a bit of fun with the newmachine in psych sound chip the rhythm is a construction site is towhat you basically to make up the music yourself on the machine and playbackdigitized and play back to them

actually you you compose music on the i musici and he's in screen herewhen you load in is a sample you're pulling a file the songs are inthe norm that's correct so you can see in those on-screen score send you plant and and all those icons on the rightwith the usual composition described am right things pending in the big difference betweenwhat you do now and what you could do with music instruction set an apple toyield

powered original version on theopportunity to play for voices this logically 15 voices of dissent closer to some processing there was a attorney good we believe him 30 powerful force partner engineeringalive and playback that me my sons okay curtis thank younow see what the apple two gs can do we've seen lots of computers that canplay music now we're going to take a look at a computer that can listen to music wendy was asthat report from stanford researchers at

stanford center for computer research inmusic and acoustics are trying to imitate the human yearwith a computer program specifically the computer must not onlyhear the music but distinguish between several notes orharmonics played at once in this experimentalpiano solo was recorded through a microphone ontotape researchers wanted to find out if the computer could play back the performance with theidentical pitch rhythm and harmonics the experimentrequired artificial intelligence

so the powerful programming languagecalled list was employed the resurgent else trying to find thealgorithms which say imitate how are your understands musicalsignals so using less we have a good workbench a or to match for for this kinda forexperimentation the tools also included a minicomputersignal processor and a synthesizer this was the result the piano is heard first followed by thecomputers reproduction accompanying the piano music

another part of the software will try toscore for the music and printed out the entire process ofanalyzing one thirty second piece of music takesan entire afternoon for stanford's only manycomputer but is faster more powerful microprocessors reach the market the process could happen lifetime forthe computer chronicles: i'm wendy wood's on dubbed well joining us now on studios davidschwartz president of compu sonics a

palo alto calif and back with this is george morrow arefrequent commentator in some time poster sorus wanna mention we finally got allthe computers on the ibm pc her i the something else that i thinkthere's it's important to point out here there's there's a product to david hascalled copy sonics and it's a recorder as i understand itwill have to explain a lot more about that these two pieces of equipment onnormally go with rosanna spar the editing system is also shows

so there could you describe the cut tosize well the compass on xd is p1000 is the world's first optical disc audiorecorder so i'm like tape recorders or any othertype recording device you've ever seen beforethis machine records on rotating computer memories discs this isan optical disc using the computer industry forrecording say insurance company data records are maps or whatever oil companyrecords in this case we've recorded music youcan actually see it recorded on the disc air school thisfall

missus yeah but think it's important topoint out that the compact discs that people are areused in our diesel chase over things are are a their what'son call read-only memory and those can write on mostthings you can't record on time and so this is a this gives you the basically a call youa cd audio but your body record on also good that'simportant dates recordable and and not just recordable recordablein a permanent way i'm not sure if you ever take wear outon you or jam or get destroyed or

something like that are just plainfollowing are more than that i mean you can massage and manipulate this music onthe disc once you've recorded the can shove cordial its data your show is data now this is a programarm that we call the dsp 1000pc programwhich is a software disc for the ibm pc will also be available for the applemacintosh very similar form course in black and white and itallows you to list the tunes on a disk database themif you will play them from the function keys on theibm pc

keyboard but i think even moreimportantly up process the data and that is a process like eq boostingthe mid-range a reducing the level at the base for example orlet's say they're you have noise on your initially under it will this key here process that wasthe process k we move to a noise removal process korean whichautomatically searches the data for impulse noise is a computer foundthat that blip exactly this right here is probably ascratch on-the-record that was recorded ofcourse in the data on the desk

then the computer proposes to replacethe scratch with the average signal from both sidesat the scratch ca and of course you listen to that andif you agree with the computer software you push the f-type 10 key and remove it and you arethat this music you recorded i think on this come back to sleepies music fromearlier in the show danger yes i did i was up in your control roomtroy to do that for singer york's old ago old intensities as it was earlier

does a midi synthesizer these the sizein a computer and then fed out analog and right into the input jacks onthis crucial george i want to ask you 90 yourcollective sending record with a lot of scratches on men's ryo when he see you could do something alsoi for small story i think i could probably take the worst to noiseon my records i can restore these the lot is historic recordings tosomething close to what they were in the very beginning but but then i'llwhat this makes possible is something much more than that a

if i did some analysis about the early acoustic recordings and then could takeout the effects are those horns then perhaps we could hear some of thoseearly recordings as a minor actually sound in the studiosit is one of the most exciting things that you can imagine what was the marketfor this machine other room where guys like to murder have well it's really for people at thetop and the audio market audio files were extremely serious about their musicand ford just like monroe said a seven thousanddollar recording devices the state of

but i didn't show up empty-handed. i have a surprise for you. a surprise? well well... mr. acero. why'd you bring me the calf instead of the cow? you know how it is. wherever her son is, she'll run to. and that's where...

and that's where we'll be waiting. her destiny, death, and me. what's going on? where is my nephew? sara entrusted me with salvador's life. that kid is like a son to me. sara would die if she found out her son was taken. who are you calling? we're going to fix this, even if we have to open the gates of hell.

i want everyone to find out mrs. acero's son was kidnapped. we'll just see if she doesn't emerge from her hideout, begging on her knees. what do you want? my mother was sentenced to 25 more years. why don't you get that? you sound just like your mother and father. all you aceros know how to do is lie. i wish i were half the man my father was.

in 1978, i competed for the first timeoutside brazil, in europe, world championship. he was driving at its best,pure race. there was no policy. no money in between.it was real competition. we did not think that karting could become a career. milton da silvaayrton's father but it is becomingsignificant proportions

and we are a bit 'worried probably becausefinish in formula one. may god protect him... neyda sennamother of ayrton ...from harm.are the dangers of my biggest fear. i would like to thankbecause it is a good son and this year he workedwell and honestly. for me, it is more important than any title. few really know me.

people do not understand how harda pilot of racing cars. i had to leave behind, thousands of miles away,family and friends to live in europe. i've never had anything easy. the time has come. ayrton is ready to ride for the first timea formula one car. i believe it was godto give me this opportunity, i've been waiting a long time.

and now it is also helpingto remain calm, tranquil, relaxed ayrton, this is a beautiful city, with wonderful streets to walk,but unsuitable to host a race, no? reginaldo leme indeed. i arrived at the last minute and i was surprised.i've never been to monaco. i did some test drive and fortunately, i managedto adapt to the path. there is no margin for error:any error would result in an accident.

but for now, i'm satisfied. i traveled a lot,by the chronicler of formula one when ayrton began to be noticedaboard a toleman. item reginaldo lemecommentator globe the tolemanwas not a winning team. the car was bad and never won a race. that's why what ayrton did in monacowas true genius. alain prost, who started well,is in the head with a big gap.

monaco grand prix 3 june 1984eighth race senna in formula one behind him, there's nigel mansell,followed by the two ferraris. niki lauda is fifth. sixth, rosberg. seventh, manfred winkelhock.eighth, ayrton senna.. but senna is making a big comeback. he left in a third position *and is now seventh. nigel mansell loses control!

ayrton senna over keke rosberggaining the third position. item galvao buenocommentator globe it also outperforms niki lauda! ayrton sennaearns second place the most dangerous part of the track! voice of james huntworld champion 1976 here comes ayrton senna, a truly exceptional talent. fastest lapa. senna (bra)

1'54.334"103,97 km / 64.60 mph is catching three seconds per lapto alain prost. 7 a. prost - 19 a. sennaposting: a 15.369 very impressive. prost ago waved to the commissioners.he wants the race to be stopped. who can blame him? in fact, from a purist point of viewand totally dispassionate, there is no reason to stop it. i see a commissionerwith a red flag.

they want to stop running. 1 a. prost - 2 a. sen naposting: 5.312 sec he gets the checkered flag. incredible! prost and senna stops thanthe finish line before him. ayrton raises his armsand gesturing with enthusiasm! celebrated as if he won the race! if he had a few more laps, would certainly come into his head.

i had a serious chance of winning. but until he crossed the finish linein first position, you do not know. formula one is politics, money and when you are not yet important,must also deal with such things. a tragic outcome for senna. however, if notworld champion this year, i certainly will in the future,if his career will continue. ayrton sennathe new star of formula one!

rooms for the first timeon the podium in formula one after a great race what will you do next year? stay with the toleman? -what are your plans now?-i do not know. john bisignano still do not know. i did not takeany decision. there's nothing definite. we will have to wait and see what happens. you will not be satisfieduntil you get a victory, however, is not it?

if you participate in a competition,as a car race, you have to do well.or is it better to leave this alone. lotus go to the lotuswas a perfect choice for ayrton. voice of john bisignanoespn commentator it was a team that had wonof many world titles and grand prix and worked very hardby ayrton, to give everything he needed to win. when i cameformula one in 1984,

i was just beginning i had a lot to learn and achieve. any positive resultconstituted a step forward and gave me extra motivation. then i camein a larger team, lotus, and have continued to grow. i'm still growing. when i have problems,i always look at the next race. if i did not have this possibility,maybe next or the next five

will get better. i always try to improve. even as a child,always knew what he wanted... neyda senna da silva, and miltonparents of ayrton ...and made sure to get it. item neyda sennamother of ayrton for example,paid particular attention in the classroom, school, so you do not have to study at home and have more timeto go on his go-kart.

undoubtedly, senna wasfrom a privileged setting. voice of richard williamssports journalist, the guardian his family was very wealthy when his parents realizedhe wanted to do the race car driver, they had no problems to supportwhile moving the first steps in karting. but it would be a mistake to think that sennaarrived in formula one thanks to the money. he realized that in order to leave a deep impressionand sustainable in formula one had to fightand only move forward thanks to his talent.

grand prix of portugal - april 21, 1985second ayrton race with lotus ayrton was exceptional when it rained. when the conditions were badand the track became slippery had a higher gear. the estoril race was incredible. double all the cars except one. it is wonderful!an extraordinary feeling. i am very happy because,in my second year in formula one, i made my first dream,that is to win a grand prix.

it is something unique. it's like a drug. a feeling very strong and intense. once established,you can not help it. they mili okadajapanese television, fuji tv. i am a tv personality,not a journalist, and then ... okay. let's have a picture together. many japanese girls i'm a fan of mr. senna, i think.

now i am close to himand i'm so nervous ... come and visit japan.see you soon. -thanks. a basin.-thanks. hello! another kiss. just a wordcan you describe the style of ayrton: "fast". drove carsbeyond their design capacity. restrained only at the last.it flew through the corners, skirting the edge. on the track, danced.continuously grazed the disaster,

but always managed to stay on track. early in his career ... voice of ron dennisteam manager mclaren ... ayrton stoodfor speed and dedication. eventually, though, the main qualityliteracy is intelligence. and i thought, "that kid has what it takes." in the mid-80s,mclaren were the team to beat. ron dennis was the best team manageralain prost and the best rider. alain prostworld champion 1985, 1986

everyone called him "the professor"because he methodically what was neededto keep the lead with points. if this is meant to reach the fifth, remained in fifth placeand collect the points awarded, rather than fighting for the third,the second or first place. surely, then,he well understood the politics of sport and could move insidewith more intelligence than anyone else. she is known as the "professor" ... selina scotttalk show wogan, bbc

... because all plansand always knows what it does. is this true? i'm just very realistic.when they are competitive, i know i'm competitive.otherwise, i recognize not to be. por que nã£o hã¡ mulheres pilotando?why are there no women pilots? i do not know whywomen are not competitive in motor racing,especially in formula one. but she is a very good woman.know someone at mclaren who would like very much.i can arrange something.

alain, if someone teaches me how to drive car racingi leave this job e. .. there is nothing importanti can not teach. he never drive his wife? announcement of the mclaren drivers we believe we havethe two best drivers in the world. ron dennismclaren team manager and the more professional. if next yearnot win on a regular basis,

we certainly do not blame the pilots. it is a great opportunity for me,professional level. and on a personal level,i am very happy to work with alain. the first year at mclarenwas decisive in the life of ayrton. item viviane sennasister of ayrton he was very nervous. it was as if he wore on his shouldersthe weight of the world, because they now had the responsibility to demonstratepilot who was a first-rate.

no. 1(grand prix formula one) for the first time in his career, ayrtonhas a car capable of winning the championship and do not want to waste this opportunity. -this is normal and this will spur us on.-and you? -and you?-for me it's a bit 'different. you mean let it go? i have a little 'more pressure on him,because of you. saw them smile... voice of ron dennismclaren team manager

...but at the same time,body language is perceived that they realizedwhat would happen. alain, of course, feltwell placed and cured at mclaren, ayrton but aspired to world titleand threatening its position.. both were very intelligentand masters in the art of driving. for them, the challenge was to fight each other rather than beat the other drivers. monaco grand prix14 may 1988 1. a. senna - 2. a. prostposting: 55.114 sec

that day, i suddenly realizedi was not driving more consciously. it was as if i were in another dimension. the circuit became a tunneland i did not do anything but move forward. now i realize that i hada conscious perception of things. ayrton was several seconds aheadon his pursuers. he had victory in hand. 67/78 was leading a few laps at the end.with a radio communication, ''advised him to slow down,given the distance from the second'' ayrton senna is over against the wall.

senna is in the barrier!it came out of the car ... ayrton senna dropped out of the car.the race is over for him. ayrton senna no longer in commandgrand prix of monaco. absolutely incredible! a. prostwinner monaco gp 1988 he would not beat me.he wanted to humiliate me. voice of alain prost he wanted to proveto be stronger than me. better than me.that was his weak point.

the reaction to the accident of ayrtonwas pure anger with himself. he could not accept it. he returned to his apartment and emerged only two or three hours later. that weekend, i came so closeperfectly that i am relaxed and i left room for errors.it took me a lesson.. then, i lost confidence in myself.i had to recover slowly reacting with determination.

i've become much stronger,after that incident. somehow, i got closer to godand it was important for me as a man. monaco marked a turning pointin the season of 1988. ayrton wona stunning series of victories, winning sixthe following eight races and finishing just ahead of prostdrivers' championship. what will you do now? we'll have fun. we enjoy very much.. we will fight. maybe out of the car..

i think the championshipbecome even more interesting. you can not win the championshiptied? -no.-damn. sã³ pode haver um vencedor.there can be only one winner. grand prix of japan30 october 1988 az ã©vad 15. futama. it is late at night and brazil is waiting ayrton senna winshis first world title in formula one, realizing a dreamwho as a child.

ayrton was very tense. voice of pierre van vlietcommentator tf 1 it was in pole position.he would become world champion, if he won the race.the pressure was enormous. they are about to leave.here we are. green light. senna will not start! senna remains on the grid! prost came out on topwhile ayrton senna left behind. ayrton senna is a 4 th place.

i thought, "so long title. "it's over." he won the eighth place.an amazing comeback for senna. then there washer favorite position: it rained. senna is now in fourth position. senna runs, runs, runs! senna is approaching.he wants to get ahead. ayrton senna over prost and launches.

ayrton senna is now in the lead. i started to be happyduring the last lap. i thanked god it was incredible.i was going to win the championship, despite all the anxiety and tension. i felt his presence. i have seen god it was a very special moment for me. an indescribable feeling.

i remained in the memory and part of me. the brazilian ayrton senna! world champion 1988! san paolo what incredible race! a great victory.he had to replace the position * 16. ayrton sennaworld champion 1988 ayrton, do you feelas world champion?

i feel so much peace. it is as if someone had removeda huge burden from the shoulders and head. it is difficult to understand what it meansbe a world champion. san paolo15 november 1988 it is an amazing person. it is very modest and gives lusterbrazil's image abroad. shares his victory with us.

i admire him very much. it is very brave. i just know this. we are proud of him. it is one of the few thingsthat we can still be proud of. once, i asked ayrtonwhen he stopped racing. he said, 'mom, stopwhen i won the world title. " in my heart,i knew that was not true. we all know that.

video of the senna family senna's family and the family yaminangra after the 1988 championship,after he won the title, clearly noticed that had changed. he had found himself. he had discovered who he was. it was found that a processits conclusion in that victory. at christmas, many things happen. make new friends,

like what i'm about to introduce.. xuxa meneghelbrazilian tv star he was part of my 1988. ayrton senna. it is not nice? i have a question for you. here are all excitedbut i am more than anyone else, because it is not easy to talk ayrton now that is my friend.

ayrton, do you want for christmas? as a christmas present? i can not say what i want to seriously. why not? it should be censored.let's say i just want to be happy. tell me your ear. happy new year. happy 1990. good '91.

happy '92. happy '93. in 1989, the team worked with less serenityprevious year. both drivers started to expressdifferent levels of aggressiveness ... 1 ayrton senna2 alain prost ...especially when competing with each other. team were born in contrasts. engineers stoppedto share information. pilots began to be observedeach other to see

who obtained what from whom. and ayrton, who loved the sincerity, was not at ease as alain prost giostrasi in a 'further dimension:the politics of sport. senna, prost. prost, senna. at the start,the first two are always their. but among them is war. for the french driver alain prost, his teammateit is not fair to him

and these disagreementscould affect the rest of the season. grand prix after grand prixthey went more and more. ayrton said:"this frenchman is tough. "he wants war." some time later, started to not talk anymore. jean-marle balestrefia president i think the president fla period,jean-marie balestre ...

i say this clearly. now depends on you. the championship was a head to head. senna had to wingrand prix of japan because the fight for pointscould continue until the last race. prost and senna knew that a withdrawal ofwould have secured the world title. grand prix of japan22 october 1989 camera on-boardayrton senna prost, first. senna, second.

the podium was never delayed. nigel, nigel, missed the chicane. he used the escape route. *office of the marshals* over the wait was prolonged, more fearedthat it was becoming policy.. the decision taken by the commissioners... *fia press officer* ...race of the grand prix of japan excludes the number one carand his driver, ayrton senna,

the final outcome of the race. after the race, i giant screen has repeatedly shown the incident... reglnaldo leme ...and the return of senna on the track. after reviewing these images,the race officials have concluded that, having made the chicane to resume racing

senna has infringed article 56regulation of the fia. you are world champion, alain? apparently, yes. i was not sure at 100%.i know the rules, but you never knowhow can it be interpreted. to be quite honest,i am very happy to leave, why work with ayrtonis becoming really impossible. it's a good ending for the championship. what i want to do now

is to show the imagesi believe that significant. because it has been said that you can notuse the escape routes back in the race. replaygp austria 1981 escape routes do not serve as passagesin case of emergency. you must stop, to reverseand get back on track from where you entered. it is important to rememberthat there were no exclusions or penalty or disqualification. and that's why he was excludedgrand prix of japan? where is the consistency? it is not fair.

alain, you say that it was a normal trajectory. but, from aerial photography, think you started the curvevery soon. it was not a normal trajectory. i won 39 grand prixand now three world titles. i would think that such a thingon purpose? i had already begun the curve, maybe a little 'soon, if you will,but that was my path. *fia headquarters in paris*

the court of appeals ruled for sennasix-month license suspension, warning not only to ayrton senna, but for all the drivers, and a fine of 100.000$ even if you areone of the best riders in the world, you have no rightcause of stupid accidents. the whole affair has been treated as if the responsibility of the eventwas totally mine.

i was given the blame for everythingand have been penalized accordingly. i was treated like a criminal. and this is absolutely unacceptable. it was a blow to ayrton... ..."crossbows" balestre because he had behavedeven worse than prost. viviane senna he even thoughtto withdraw from formula one. i let him stay for a while '. then, with kindness,i convinced him that if you believe in certain values,

if you think they're right values, then yield in the face of the dark forces you face in lifeis not even thinkable. l 'years later, in 1990, he returned to more matureand the team work more calmly. prost left mclarenfor ferrari and senna was in a perfect positionto compete for the championship. all pilots reach their limit. my limit is different from that of prost.this is the reality. instead of tryingto improve its capacity,

considered easier to attack me. ayrton was a small problem.he believes that he can not kill, because he believes in god and things like that. i think it is very dangerousfor other drivers. just because i believe in god and have faith in him, not mean they are immortal; which are immune from danger, as has been said. i'm afraid of hurting mejust like everyone else,r

especially driving in formula one, where the threat is constant. spanish grand prix30 september 1990 martin donnellylotus is that him? who is it? martin donnelly. i was in the box.the tests were interrupted. i've heard several people saythat there had been an accident. donnelly.

that was a bad accident.very ugly. a tragedy. so i decided to go to that locationto judge for yourself. i went through my headmillions of thoughts. in the end, i realizedi did not want to give up my passion, even after seeing what i saw. i tried to recovercalm and concentration. i went up on the carand i started to run, running,trying to do even better, it was the only way to mitigatethe impact it had on me

i was not ready to give up.as i was afraid to continue, i was not ready to abandonmy goal, my goal, my goal, ia my passion, my dream, my life.why this is my life. ayrton senna 1'19"844 secpole posltlon from what i hear,is no longer life threatening, which is really very,considering the impact he had. what happened to him,can happen to anyone of us. there are things that can be anticipated and things that can not be foreseen.

these are the most dangerous, as evidenced by the incident today. i hope there will be no morethings like that in the future. grand prix of japan21 october 1990 incredibly,for the third consecutive time the championship is decidedgrand prix of japan. only, this time, the withdrawal of prostwould secure the title to senna. gentlemen, good morning. the traffic light turns from greenthe checkered flag will be 53.

pre-race meeting for drivers. maneuvers and / or dangerous behavior will be placed immediatelyunder investigation and may leadto license suspension valid for one or more racesfor the formula one championship. any questions? there was a lot of confusionlast year with ayrton. nelson piquetworld champion 1981, 1983, 1987 to be repeated?

the safest thing, if you take the chicane,is that the commissioners stop the pilot. when cars do not pass, then,let him leave. if we are to reverseand back with another car in the opposite direction,is dangerous. okay. the all think so? -yes.-yes. -thanks.-thank you very much.

i can not stand. it's absurd. after what happened last year,is really absurd. you have shown ... i did not say anything.someone else raised the issue and everyone agrees.last year was tough for me.m. i'm sorry. i'm sorry,but i can not stay. the pits and on the gridtension prevails. with the world title at stake,everyone is very nervous. today ayrton sennaleft the meeting the pilots. he argues that the first should start

on the left of the grid, not on the right. if the interior was clean,would be better inside. but it is dirty. so it is better outside,in hungary as o. . the trajectory is the paththat usually follow the cars. it is the fastest route along the path. it is very important that the pole positionis on the trajectory. if on the other side,we start from a little-used area of the track, offering half of adhesion. if the circuit was free, it would be better

i'esterno, not the internal because inside there is no grip.. we will look at. yes, please. but the head of the commissioners, the fiabalestre and would agree? ayrton senna will start in pole positiontomorrow at the japanese grand prix. in second position, see prost. he got the pole position. then, suddenly,pole position was mysteriously

moved on the dirty side of the trackand he thought it unfair. voice of ayrton senna balestre have influenced the choice. i know. we all know that. i have been cheated many times by the system. i said: "today, it is not spoken. "today will go as i say. "no matter what happens.goes as i say. " green light

senna snaps forward, but it's alain prost to take the lead!exactly! senna try to go inside ... there was a collision. clashed. senna has been touched. alain prost and ayrton sennaclashed again and were both released from the track!incredible! if the race continues,the title would have been assigned.

i wonder if unfurledthe red flag. we have not yet seen. apparently, the race will continue. the championship is over. ayrton sennais the world champion 1990. it is very sad that the championshipend this way. can you tell us what happenedthe first lap, ayrton? we touched the first corner, while we were fighting for control,and we came out of both.

why do the pole position was on the wrong side of the track?you wanted change. of course i wanted to change. one fight,is done in four to get the pole and then is puton the wrong side of the track. how does it feel to be world champions? it feels pretty good. congratulations. when ayrton returned,his attitude and his body languageshowed a strong inner conflict.

it was not proud of himself. neither he enjoyed the idea that it had decidedworld championship. the title of world championdrivers in the category goes to ayrton senna. fia awardsparis 1990 approaching the world champion,ayrton senna. he knew that i was next. he moved inside,moving towards the first corner. i've chasedand he opened the path.

he knows me well and therefore must have known that i would tryto overcome it, if i had seen an 'opening okay. let me make youanother difficult question. consideringthe total number of times... jackie stewartf1 vilã¡gbajnok 1969, 71, 73 ...in which the other world championsclashed with other drivers, you, in the last 36, 48 months, you run into other cars and drivers more than all other samples combined.

i am surprised that you owni put this question, stewart, because you have a lot of experienceand know well the world of racing. you should knowthat being a race car driver means risking all the time. be a race car drivermeans that you compete with other people. if you do not try to embedwhen you see an opening, are no longer a race car driver because we are all in competition,competing to win. our main motivationto compete and win.

do not get third, fourth, fifth or sixth. is not it always been like that? it is irrelevant.everything you're saying, jack, is totally irrelevant. i won more grand prixthan anyone else in the last three years. si've been in pole positionmore than anyone else in history.. i won two world titlesin the last three years. i do not think ... i can not understand how you can turn over things

i had to saymore accidents than anyone else. among other things, is not even true. two of the greatest championsformula one in the sand. championship ruined. accuse each other,but prost was the hardest. his reaction was violent. i wanted to punch him in the face, but i was so disappointed, that did not succeed.

i really dislike. the battle between senna and prost,which continued for several years, was a godsendfor formula one. let sport.it's the end of a love story. the television audience increased.it was a success. people are talking about. it was a controversial history,shocking and fascinating. the motoring we gained in popularity. even commercially.bernie ecclestone was smart

in distributing the tv rights. but, to preserve the ratings,characters are and the affair between prost and sennahit the mark, of course. ayrton became famouseven outside the car, through the impact of formula oneon television. i am very sorry for people because ... sent her away. they are good peopleand it is nice to see them dismiss the case. i'm really sorry.

in brazil, it was very different. people were not happyunder the ruling regime. there was extreme poverty. so the charm of the seine,at a time so difficult, it was incredible. the situation in brazilwas very negative and depressing. but many times,when ayrton won, instead of trying to hideits origins in brazil, as did others, did the opposite,waving the flag of his country. and he did every sunday.

he was an inspiration to people.that's why they loved him so much. ayrton had never wongrand prix of brazil. it was from when he entered formula one who dreamed of winning in his country. brazilian grand prix21 march 1991 the brazilian grand prix is on. red light. green light. a good start. come on, senna!

senna is a close command. giro 54/67 ayrton took the lead. before him an easy race.he won effortlessly. here seine. it starts to rain. it's raining. it must stop. but then the change can be stopped and he had to facethe number of laps that remained only in sixth gear.

7 laps to the conclusion it was impossible to drive a car formula one stopped in the sixth. ayrton would have liked to stay.he could no longer drive it. but he had already tried many timesto win the brazilian grand prix and found a special force within himself. an 'other curvesenna and cut the line. you start to victory. ayrton, ayrton ...the brazilian ayrton senna!

in the lead from start to finishlnterlagos wins! a wonderful victory for senna. no way! damn, i won! prost, bastard. he won and then fainted. it was his most heroic moment. because of the tremendous physical effort,

i had muscle spasmsshoulder and neck. the pain was tremendous. the physical and mental stressthis weekend was unheard of. but could there be only one result. i finished the race with no more energy. what's wrong? the shoulders, the shoulders. only his shoulders. come here, dad. come on.

come here. touch floor. do not touch me. quiet, ayrton. need help? carries the flag for me. i fought hard. i wanted to finish the raceand finish in first position, because he is the greatest

and i gave this race.. that's what happened. it is god who gave me this raceand i'm happy. it was thrilling. all hail the brazilian sennafor his victory. congratulations. i thank all of brazil.i thank all the fans. this weekend i felt around meso much warmth that we could not win. it could not be otherwise.

and we did. house of the senna family, sao paulo life can be very difficult in brazil.there are ... in brazil you can find all the details.there is a fantastic nature. you can have all the nice material thingspurchased with money. but at the same time,there are also many problems. social problems, poverty.and, as a result, violence. i try to help as i can. especially children.

ayrton was so well known in brazil... ...that's a lot of people asking for help, for personal problems. hospitals and charitiessought his support. ayrton gave and tried to work things out. but did not want to make donations random. he wanted to develop something organized, structured to help brazil, especially the children.

in 1991, ayrton was in great shape. it was his best year in my opinion. he won seven races,always in pole position. it was dedicated as ever to his work. but he seemed to possess greater wisdom. he grew as a person. grand prix of mexico14 june 1991 but then the car betrayed him. for the first time, he thought seriouslyhe could hurt you in formula one.

i conducted a neurological examination... professor sid watkinsmedical f 1 ...controlled and chest,blood pressure, abdomen and arts. -how do you think the situation?-all right.. -not to worry?-no. absolutely. voice of professor sid watkinsf1 doctor the personal relationship deeperi've had with a driver. every time i went on the circuitand i met senna

usually he was giving an interviewor was surrounded by many people. as soon as i saw,a beautiful smile lit up her face. it was wonderfully modest, quality is not very commoncar drivers in racing. -okay.-it was a pleasure. be careful. you still have so much to do. yes, some other little thing. questions? yes.

nã©met nagydãj28 july 1991 we talked about the chicaneand barriers created with the tires. a collision with the tires threw his car into the air,probably by rolling it on herself. in mexico, it happened to me just that and here it can happen to other people. i agree that thewe have at the moment

ois not the ideal solution. roland bruynseraederace director the president spoke yesterdaywith mr. mosley. nno, no, no.forget mr. mosley. it has ... forget it. okay. the fisa president ... no, forget the president. we discuss the issueraised by mr. senna,

what we intend to do todayin this specific race. we can not do anything for this race. in my opinion,it is better to remove the tires. yesterday i happened to passthe braking point at the first chicane. let me finish. let me finish. i went straight. the street was blocked. and i could not go back. if we remove the tires,we put the cones. yeah, okay.in this way, the way of escape ...

yes no, you need to share the same point. it should be observed travel distance. there is no turning back. i'm sorry,but this regulation. it is written in the regulation.we received the letter yesterday. page three. here. the last two paragraphs. excellent penalty for her..

jean-marie, is the same thing. no problem, ayrton.no problem. this is the best decisionto take, jean-marie. try to understand. the best decision is mine. i have a bad feeling. no, you do not knowwhat's my decision. my decision is always the best,at every opportunity. and my decision is

a democratic vote. only the pilots. show of hands. who is in favor of the replacementtire with the heel? raise your hand. who is opposed? abstain? do you all agree, then. the tires must be removed immediatelyand replaced with cones, right? three hours after alain, what happened at the chicane?

i tried to overtake senna. it was ... i was hampered throughout the race,so not very fair. prost i believe that everyone should know by now. ewe always complain about the caror tires, the team, mechanics, fuel,the other drivers of the circuit. the fault is always of others, never his. yes, no problem. so i have nothing to lose.i can not win the championship, but if you should ever do againso wrongly sent him off the track.

prost was fired by ferraribecause he had criticized the coach. he could not do anythingthat taking a year off, telling everyone who was on sabbatical. japãn nagydãj1991 oktã³ber 19 if i finish in second place,the championship will be concluded. if it does not win mansell, even then, almost surely,the championship will be concluded. around 9 of 53 mansell tries to overcome, but it goes straight.

mansell goes straight. the championship is over.mansell can not leave. ayrton sennahãromszoros vilãgbajnok the brazilian ayrton senna,three world titles! a lifetime dedicated to this moment by a genius of international sport. three-time world championand many other titles before him. and only 31 years. 33 wins, three world titles.

breaks record after record.it celebrates as only senna can do. the third world title puts sennaamong the greatest of all time. it is a very special gift for me. thank you so much. sao paulo, brazilia1991 november 5 i kissed her hand next to the seine,three-time world champion. i want to senna.i want to hug him and kiss him. got a boxphotos and newspaper articles. everything you can imagine.

it is the only good thing in brazil. after the third world titlei saw another senna. he was very pleased and confident.already familiar with the sport. he had seen with his own eyespros and cons of car and continued to love himlike any other driver. it is a wonderful holiday. anything goes. have you spoken to formula one today? formula one is too rigid.today is carnival.

some of your girlsever told you: "faster, ayrton? ayrton for the third world title was the culmination of a scripthe had written for himself well before entering formula one, because he knew he can do itand can do even more. it was already an idol of sport in brazil. with the third title,it became the world. i would like to continue to improve. do more. it makes me happy.

if you feelthat my learning speed decreases, that my learning curveflattens, i'm not happy. it is not only the professional,as a pilot. it is also as a man. obviously, i will learn more as a manthat as a pilot, because my career as a pilotmay only last a few years. i hope that my life, however,last very long. maybe i'm only half-of my existence.

so i still have much to learnand do in life. i reach true happinesswhen i feel complete something that does not proveat present. but i still have so much time in front of meto succeed. the following year,the competition was distorted by technical innovationsof the williams cars. the car is balanced on its own.each curve was controlled by computer. the pilot did not have to do anythingthat go as fast as possible. vehicles without this systemwere at serious disadvantage.

mclaren still failsto keep pace with the williams-renault with the result that the three timesworld champion ayrton senna can not hope to retain the title. when you enter into this sort war technology you can end up completely blocked. this is the mail that matters. anyone driving the car... nlgel mansellworld champion 1992

...is the computer to do everything, not the pilot. ei do not think it would be desirable for a world championship pilots. the negotiations were lengthy and still do not know who will beprost's team-mate. the three-time world champion has signed a two-year contract with williams and during the weekbegin to test the car.

i asked only one thing in the contract: ayrton did not haveas a teammate. i explicitly requested. and they immediately accepted, saying that it was not their intention. this wasmy only request in the contract, because i wanted to win the championship and do not miss this opportunity. it is no secret

i tried hardto achieve an agreement with williams. it is a very complex situation. you ... it is very beautiful. is also not clear. i'm pretty sure of one thing: i'm the one that has more to lose if i had to stop for a year or more, because they are at the peak of his career

and the career of a formula one driveris limited. so if i stop,i'd lose out more than anyone else, at both professionally and personally. adriane galisteu in 1993, ayrton steered his carso brilliant. for me, it was his best season. brazilian grand prix european grand prix he completedsome of his best races,

even though he spent most of the timelooking at the back of williams, much faster than his car. the french driver alain prost won the world drivers championshipformula one for the fourth time ... prost won the championship and retired, iasc(??) free field. (szabad utat hagyva sennã¡nak??) it seems almostthat you wanted to say goodbye to mclaren. do you think ityour last year at mclaren? i think so. last.

i would not have changed ... i triedto do my best as always. voice of mark fogartyjournalist f1 ayrton, what did he say ron denniswhen you come down from the car? it's never too late to change his mind. however, he saidhe is happy for me e. .. it's funny. he said the same thing to me. ron has done so. i said we had to keepmemory in the good times spent together and finish it with a good time.

it is the balance. it is unstable. the car has worsened. there is a predominant tendency or the balance is constantly changing? it tends to understeer more. in the first round, tended to understeer. then, in the second, has changed abruptly. oversteer and understeer?

greg robbins: i'mgreg robbins. i work in google seattleengineering office as a software engineer. in 1992, i was hired as anindependent contractor at apple computer to writeoperating system code for a experimental hardware project. on that project imet ron avitzur. he was also an independentcontractor doing software for the project.

ron's here to tell the storyof what we did after that project ended. ron avitzur: thank youfor inviting me. let me apologize in advance. there will be no actualtechnical content in this tech talk. i'm turning 40 next week. and so i apologize ifi become maudlin. but i'm taking this opportunityto embrace

becoming an old codger byreminiscing publicly about the adventures of my youth. i started programming in the'70's back when programs were stored on punched cards andthe vt55 terminal was newfangled. i was a faculty brat atlehigh university. so i had access to all sortsof toys as a young'un. when i started college atstanford in 1984, the macintosh was brand new.

and it was an interesting timeto be on campus looking at computer use. because when i started collegein 1984, there were macs on campus. so i had one. and stanford was anearlier adopter. but largely, nearly all thestudents still used typewriters. and the interesting thing tosee was that the original

macintosh, along with macwrite1.0, was so amazingly easy to use and easy to learn that youcould take someone, and i did this many times, someone who hadnever touched a computer before, was completelynon-technical, sit them down in front of the original mac,and in five minutes of instruction with macwrite, theywould learn everything they need to know. and it would be blindinglyobvious to them immediately that they could get the paperwritten that they had to have

written that night, they couldget the job done quicker using the computer, even afterthey took into account the learning curve. and so, in terms of ease ofuse and ease of learning, that's a very strongstatement. that you could take someonethat's a complete novice, and it's just obvious to them that,yes, this tool does the job better, even with the timeit takes me to learn it. i was studying physicsat the time.

so most of my timewas spent doing mathematical problem sets. it involved staying up late atnight, writing out 10 or 20 pages of algebra for each one. and it was ironic that i waswatching, essentially, that the last years of the typewritergo away as word processing was just obviouslythe right way to do things. and at the same time, thecomputer was far more useful to my colleagues writing englishpapers than to me

doing math. for the math i was doing,the computers were just not at all useful. it wasn't that the mathwas difficult. i had access to systems. i wasfamiliar with the state of the art in computer algebraat the time, which was maxima and reduce. and mathematically, they coulddo any of the sorts of things we were doing in ourproblem sets.

but the time it took toformulate your problem in their command line interface,struggle with their syntax, and then interpret the result ina way that's presentable as a document was far more timethan it took to just do everything out longhandwith pencil and paper. and fundamentally, that's auser interface problem. so i took some time off fromschool to develop software to essentially do for mathematicalproblem sets with word processors do for peoplejust writing prose.

this became a macintosh productaround 1987 called milo that was billed as a mathprocessor for students doing problem sets. it integrated text equationsand graphics in a document. the equations were wysiwyg. they appeared in the standardtextbook notation as you entered them. and you could manipulate themdoing the sorts of algebra and calculus things that studentswould be doing as

undergraduates. while the original product,milo, wasn't a commercial success, it was influential ona number of other products. and the source code from it ilicensed out to a number of other companies that was laterembedded in other products. its biggest limitation, justas a tool for students, was that the word processing in itwas extremely minimalist. it was too weak even to dothe simple things that students needed.

so i went out looking forcompanies to, essentially, embed the milo software intheir word processor, and ended up at frame technology. they were looking for amathematical typesetting system for framemaker 2.0. and i worked there for a whileembedding the mathematical typesetting from milointo framemaker. all of the computation thatwent into it, all of the computer algebra system,essentially

came along for free. and they left it in just togive the sales folks more buttons to push to make demos. they didn't quite realize whatthey had until it had been shipping for a while, andsomeone at an arizona nuclear plant sent in a bug report ofthe form, it evaluates this particular integralincorrectly. but at that point, theywere committed. so framemaker is abeautiful system.

it's still shipping today. and frame math is stillderivative from the original work i did on milo. at the time, i was proud to beresponsible for the only page layout and word processingprogram that would evaluate derivatives symbolically andmultiply matrices and have series mathematicalunderpinning. but it still wasn't idealfor students. and again, it was fundamentallya question of

the user interface. there are a number of problemswith user interface in mathematics. the most fundamental one isthat mathematical notation evolved for use withpencil and paper. it involves a much largercharacter set than you typically find on a keyboard. and it's intrinsicallytwo dimensional. so after working at frame for awhile, i went off on my own

and did what many othershave done. i wrote handwriting recognitionsystem that could handle a large character set formathematical symbols and greek letters and also parse thetwo-dimentional structure of the mathematics as youwrite it on a tablet. i took a version of milo, whichembedded the handwriting recognition so that you couldessentially write on a tablet, as if it were a piece of paper,equations and text and scribbles and be able tomanipulate the equations.

and then started taking that tohardware companies, at the time when go and momenta andpen computing were very popular, looking for a hardwareplatform that would be appropriate. and this is how i endedup at apple. i had what was an impressivedemo of pen computing, but still was a long way from auseful product and needed a hardware platform thatwas suitable for it. and this is where i met greg.

so after a year working on asecret hardware project at apple-- and i won't go intoany details on that-- ultimately, the projectwas canceled. and while on the one hand thetime working at apple both was very educational working insystems software, and also very educational being part ofa large company, when the project was canceled, it was,in one sense, a relief. because the hardware project wewere a part of was having problems. and in anothersense, it was extremely

frustrating that, essentially,a year of work was completely wasted. so at this point i decidedthat i wanted to stay and finish it so that itwasn't a waste. as the hardware project waswinding down, one fellow would visit my office almost daily andtell me that the power pc group, which was down thehall, was building some exciting hardware, and i reallyhad to meet them. but while working on this otherproject, i was too busy.

so after the original projectwas canceled, i went and visited the folks at power pc,who were interested in the work i was doing, but they weretoo busy with their own work to be able to hire me. so this one fellow broughtanother friend of his into my office after the project wascanceled and just camped out there for the night. they decided that they weregoing to port software i had been working on to thepower pc hardware.

and they spent till the weehours of the morning going through 50,000 lines and gettingit to run as a power pc native application. at the time, the only way tobuild on power pc was to cross compile from an ibm rs/6000workstation. so it was a difficultpiece of porting. the power pc wasn'tshipping yet. the software tools forit weren't ready yet. and there wasn't a lot ofexpertise in how to build

applications for it. but after many hours, we gotit to compile and link, and then took it down to the nextbuilding where one of them knew where there was one of therare power pc prototypes. the first time we launched it,the monitor attached to the prototype caught on fireand started smoking. i could not make this up. the fellow just shrugged andunplugged the monitor and carried it out onto the balconyto avoid setting off

the smoke detectors,plugged in another monitor and tried again. and we were very impressed. on the power pc machine, it wasrunning 50 times faster than it had been on thedevelopment machine i had been working on before. things that had previously beentaking five seconds of frame were suddenly animatingat 10 frames a second. it was a qualitative differencein what you could

do with the machine. a qualitative differencein the behavior. they just looked at it and said,this doesn't suck, which at apple, at the time,was high praise. typically, people on systemssoftware would struggle to make small improvements. and if they're able to improvesomething a little, they would praise it by saying,that sucks less. so at this point, we hadan impressive demo.

we had a native power pcapplication, almost the only one in existence. because everyone at apple that'sworking on the power pc at this time-- and this is in august of '93-- is completely focused on justgetting the hardware to run, getting everything to runcorrectly under emulation. and no one has spare time tospend working on native applications, because all thefocus is on compatibility.

no one outside the companyexpects apple to succeed. it's been announced publicly,as part of the apple, ibm, motorola alliance, that appleis switching to power pc. but no large company hadmade such a transition successfully yet. and the expectation was thatthe first release of these machines would be a disasterbecause of compatibility problems. so with all of the internalengineering cycles being

focused on compatibility, thiswas one of the very few native applications. unfortunately, after the lastyear of struggling with a failing project, i wascompletely burnt out. we'd been working long hoursand killing ourselves for months trying to keep thisproject from being canceled, long past the point where it wasobvious to everyone on the outside that it was doomed. and i was in no shape to do thework needed to take this

demo and turn it intosomething real. so at this point i calledgreg, who was now in a different division of thecompany, and explained that you've got to come overand see this. i'd really like to ship it. but there's an enormousamount of work to do. and there's no way ican do it alone. greg, fortunately, was justfinishing up a contract in his division at the time.

so he talked to his manager andsaid that he would start reporting to me. and she didn't ask who i was. and she let him keep theoffice and the badge. and my old manager hadn'tturned off my badge. so we both still had accessto the building. and we both stillhad our offices. but he told people that hewas reporting to me. and i told people that iwas reporting to him.

that left no managersin the loop. so there were no meetings. and we could be reallyproductive. it was an amazing change. i went for months upon monthsof what seemed like a death march of struggling to dolittle things and being completely unable to accomplishanything just because of the friction in theprocess to suddenly having no meetings and being able toprogram 12 hours a day, being

able to decide things by goingin and chatting for 30 seconds or five minutes and justasking, what's the right thing to do? ok. let's go do it. and suddenly, we were makinga huge amount of progress. it was a great relief. and greg was starting fresh. i was burnt out.

but greg wanted thisto succeed. and he was putting an enormousamount of effort into just being perfectionist aboutevery detail. when we started, i figured, ithink there's about a month's worth of work to actually takethis and polish it into a finished product. greg probably had a morerealistic idea of what that meant at the time. so while this was going on, ihad no official relationship

with apple. i have been a contractor. but the contract ended whenthat project was canceled. i tried to be completelyhonest with everyone when this came up. people would sometimes askme, do you work here? and i'd tell them no. and then, they'd assume,oh, that means you're a contractor.

and i'd say, well,actually no. and then they'd ask, butthen, who's paying you? and i'd say, no one. and then, they'd ask,but how do you live? and i'd explain,i live simply. and then, they'd get a reallystrange look on their face and say, what are you doing here? at that point, i'd pullthem into my office and give them a demo.

and the demo is very flashy. and i'd explain, well, i hadbeen a contractor, but the project was cancelledsometime back. and i decide to stay andfinish it anyway. and all the engineers thati explained this to were extremely sympathetic. at this point in apple'shistory, just about everyone had been through one, if not twoor three or five or seven, canceled projects.

it was very, very hard to getthings to ship back then. there were lots of waysprojects failed. and lot more projects gotstarted than finished. so after seeing what i wasdoing, they were sympathetic, and as often as not askedif there's any way they could help. there had been somethingof a history of skunkworks projects. there had been many times in thepast where engineers took

their cancelled projects andworked on it after hours on their own time tryingto revive it. and sometimes we'resuccessful. there was one project at thetime, appropriately enough code named specter, which hadbeen canceled and revived five times at the time i was there. i don't know if it'sshipped since then. mostly, because we didn't reportto anyone, we weren't anyone's responsibility, wewere just under the radar.

no one worried about us becauseeveryone was focused about worrying about what theywere responsible for. and we've both been workingthere for over a year. so we were familiar faces. and it was assumedwe belonged. everyone assumed someone knewwhat we were up to in and was responsible for us. and we just relied on the powerof corporate apathy. we just kept showing up.

because it was so far outsidepeople's expectations that it just didn't occur to anyonewhat was going on. but i did slip upat one point. someone from facilities visitedme in my office one day and explained we're movingpeople into these offices. because on my map of the floor, these offices are empty. so your manager's going to haveto find you new space. and that sort of thing happenedall the time.

engineers changed from one groupto the other, and didn't feel like schleppingall their stuff. so they stayed in their oldoffice until someone else needed to space. and she just figuredthat my new manager would find me space. but i've been so used to tellingthe story, just as i'm telling you here now, itold her the truth. she was not amused.

she called security and havethem cancel our badges and told us in no uncertain termsthat we had to leave. now, right about this time applewent through the great layoffs of 1993 where they laidoff about 10% or 15% of their global workforce. during the layoffs,we were safe. because we weren't on the books,we didn't officially exist. after the layoffs,there were plenty of empty offices.

so we moved our stuff. and i made an effort to avoidthis one facilities person who actually knew we didn'tbelong there. and our badges nolonger worked. but we have them physically. so we just wore them as decoysand made sure they didn't get anywhere near a door detector. and i'd show up in the morningand i'd park my car and look around the parking lotfor a familiar face.

and then time my walk tothe door to arrive right behind them. they'd open the door for me andsay, good morning, ron. i'd say, good morning, andtrail in after them. or if greg got their first, i'dcall greg and he'd let me in or vice versa. and we were just beingso productive. we started out working12 hours a day. and just went up from therebecause we were

getting a lot done. that, at this point, the thoughtof stopping it for the trivial reason like not havingbuilding access just didn't occurred to us. physically, we couldn'tdo what we were doing outside the building. because the only way to compileon power pc required an rs/6000 workstation withcustom software that didn't exist outside of apple.

and there were no developernotes or developer support, because no one was buildingfor power pc. so we really needed access toengineers to even know what to do things or be ableto do things. and there were no prototypes tobe had outside the company. we realized what we weredoing was ludicrous. at one point, greg and i juststopped and looked at each other and said, ok. let me get this straight.

we're literally sneaking intothe building, evading security, to do volunteer workfor an $8 billion corporation? at least this is certainlygoing to have good storytelling value. in spinal tap idiom, thisone goes to 11. now, we were making greatprogress programming. but the more we did, the more werealized that there was an enormous amount to do. and we couldn't do it alone.

it wasn't just a questionof the programming. there was everything else thatgoes into making software. it takes a team effort. and there were lots ofthings we just didn't have the skills for. at one point, i went out andjust hired out of pocket a graphics designer, a visualdesign expert, that had previously been laid off fromapple and just hired her onto my project.

she didn't know whatmy situation was. and i thought it was safer forher not to know, just for her own benefit. so i invited her in and showedher what we were doing. and she did some designs forus that eventually shipped. documentation was a problem. i hired some people to helpwith the documentation. our biggest problem was qa. fundamentally, you can'tdo your own qa.

it's a question of seeingyour own blind spots. and it's expensiveto do it well. and that was something wecouldn't afford and needed people to do. unfortunately, at this point,i always kept my office doors open. and people liked what we'redoing, so they'd come by daily to see our progressreport bugs. i'd fix them and invite themback in the next day to test

their fix and show themwhat they'd done. then, they got excited thatthey're having some effect. and so, a lot of people weregoing through my office on a regular basis to see whatthe latest changes were. and we'd become something of anunderground cause celebre. people would whisper about uslike, have you heard the story of these two guys? you've got to see whatthey're doing. it's really cool.

and i let it be known that wereally needed help because we needed people to starttesting this. so at one point, these two guyscome down from upstairs. they're doing qa on the powerpc system software. and they tell me they'rereally bored. because they spent a longtime developing automated test tools. and now, they're at the pointwhere they push the button, and the tests will start inthe morning, and they see

which api's break, andsend out the email. but basically, it's anautomated process. and they heard we neededsome help. they told us that they had stuffthey were supposed to officially be doing. but it was boring. so they wanted to help us out. but i shouldn't letpeople know. so i gave them copiesof the software.

and they started reportinglots of bugs. it was great. one of them had a phdin mathematics. one of them had done sharewaremath software before. they were amazing. i could not have found morequalified people had i looked. while this is going on, thevarious engineers that are helping us out want totell their managers. they think it's cool.

it demos well. they think, look, of course,they're going to love what you're doing. you have to show it to them. but i've been puttingthem off for weeks. because it's one thing forengineers to think something as cool. and it's another thingto ship something to millions of customers.

and i know that difference. when an engineer says, look,i've been working on my own time, and i've developed thiscool thing, the default assumption is that there's avery high burden of proof that what you've done actuallyis worth shipping. and when we were at a stagewhere the software would still crash, i didn't want to showit to anyone in management. because if they see something,it crashes, they're just going to shrug and say, yeah,that's cool.

i don't have time tothink about this. and so, for a long time, i wasonly showing it to engineers and telling them,wait a while. it has to be perfect beforeyou show it to your management. and the big thing that wasmissing was everything we were doing was in 2-d. this was ata time when there were no gpu's, and 3-d hardware wasthe province of sgi. so we needed to be ableto render 3-d

graphics and software. and it's not an entirelytrivial thing to do. this was before therewas a lot of open source to choose from. and it looked like somethingthat would take me at least a month to do thati didn't have. i talked to a friend of mine,who's at google now, who was an expert in these matters. he took a weekend off from hisstartup company, and wrote us

a 3-d software renderer. that was just amazing. he did in two days whatwould have taken me weeks or a month. and it worked perfectly thefirst time bug-free. once we got that integrated in,things were stable enough and impressive enough that i wasready to seriously start thinking about how wecould ship this. and the biggest problem thatfaced us was a question of how

to get something to ship. because i knew lots of official,funded projects on the books that hadbeen cancelled. there were a lot of people inthe company that had the power to stop things, for onereason or another. but it's very difficult toactually get through all the land mines and convince folksthat this really deserves to be on the machinesand to ship. so at one point, a fellow fromthe hardware team came to my

office early in the morning-- i think at 2:00 am one night--and explained to me how apple worked physically. he said, apple is ahardware company. there's a factory outin cork, ireland that produces machines. and the production ramp is goingto start on such and such a date. and the night before the factorystarts boxing machines

in the warehouse, i fedex themwhat's called the golden master hard disk. and that gets cloned onto allthe machines in the factory. and at this point in apple'shistory, there was a huge attrition rate. the company wasn't treatingengineers well. the future of the company wasseriously in question. a lot of people werejust leaving as-is. and he told me, so, if you getme the bits the night before

the golden master gets fedexedto cork, they can appear on the gm disk. and they will be boxed in 30,000units in the factory before anyone knowsthey're there. in a very real and pragmaticsense, he said, i decide what does and does not ship. so this conversation, needlessto say, warmed my heart. because that was a problemthat i was completely flummoxed on.

i just tried not to think aboutit because it was too depressing. and it was obvious if he pulleda stunt like that, he would lose his job, or worse. and as soon as anyone realizedit was there, the legal exposure, they would pullit and kill it. so it wasn't a pathwe wanted to take. but it was really veryreassuring that the offer was made.

now, in retrospect, i don't evenknow if he was serious. but this is what he told me. and it let us move forwardwith more confidence. now, we didn't want himto lose his job. and we thought that it was ourresponsibility to at least do the due diligence and make ita good faith effort to go through proper channels. so when we had the 3-d and wheni was no longer aware of any crashing bugs and it hadbeen in the testers' hands for

long enough, i told all theengineers that had been supporting us, ok, it's time. you can go tell your managersto come meet me. oh. and even before this, this wasa time when we had access to amazing resources that wecouldn't have had had we officially existed. this was a time when i knewfolks at ibm that were complaining.

ibm was just starting their fabruns on the original 601 power pc chip. and it wasn't fullydebugged yet. people at ibm couldn't get thechips because, although they were going to be using it intheir workstations, apple would ship 1 million power pc'sthe first year, which is 10 or 100 times more thanibm would ship. so all the initial chip runswent to apple for testing. and of that, i think maybe 200power pc chips that were in

existence at all, most of themwere in hardware being tested. there was a very small numberof coveted machines that the system software folks who neededit to test to ship on the initial release had. and no one else in the companycould get them. i would occasionally have lunchwith people that were fairly high up in projects notrelated to power pc who would complain that, yeah, i'm on thewaiting list. and i won't get a machine for six months.

but at this time, greg andi actually had some. an engineer from the hardwaregroup came to my office at midnight one day and brought amachine in and said, now this looks like an ordinary68k macintosh. so don't let anyonetake the lid off. officially, this machine doesn'texist. if anyone asks, i don't know you. and whatever you do, it mustnot leave the building. so we had a power pc towork on at this point.

still, we're sneaking into thebuilding, and still no managers know about us. but the project's farenough along that we can give it to people. it doesn't crash. it looks impressive. and so, i tell everyone, ok. bring your managers in. we'll make a good faith effortto actually convince them that

this needs to ship. and so, they all went to theirmanagers in various different groups and said, there's thesetwo guys you have to meet. we can't explain why. just really, it'sworth your time. be in this office 2:00in the afternoon, and it'll be worth it. trust us. so the afternoon comes around,and these 15 people are packed

into my office. but i haven't met, introductionsall around. and i give them the demo thati'd been giving to all the engineers that have beencoming through. and i explain howthis is really useful in a math classroom. that it's something that highschool teachers can use, essentially as an animatedblackboard to explain abstract concepts visually.

and for apple, it's also ademonstration that the power pc fundamentally changesthe rules. because previously, softwaredesigners would design their software around the limitationsof an eight megahertz, 68k machine, thebottom of the line. because they wanted to sell tothe most computers possible, to the largest installed base. and so, they had to assume thatthey were writing their software for people withthe slowest machines.

and that affects a lot of userinterface design decisions. and what the power pc let appledo is it let apple say, this is the new lowestcommon denominator. when you're designing software,think of this as the new slowest machine. and it's 20,000 times fasterthen the original macintosh from 10 years previously. and that lets people, as asoftware designer, think of things very differently.

things that have previously beenbatch-oriented can become interactive. things that previously used totake a long time, you could do in an interactive way, whichlets you simplify the interface in a lot of ways thatnow, 12 years later, have become natural. we take for granted, butat the time were new. so i gave a demonstration toall the managers, mostly focusing on the user interfaceimplications.

that this is a demonstration fordevelopers on how they can improve their user interfaceusing the speed of the machine to do things in a new way. and the managers all looked atthis and said, that's awesome. that's the story we've beentelling people all along. but because we haven't had anynative apps because we've been so focused on compatibility,we've had to talk about it. we haven't been ableto show them. but this really illustrates whatwe've been trying to do.

and no one else at applewas working on educational math software. so this didn't stepon any toes. the managers looked at that thisand said, that's great. why has it been such a secret? who's your manager? why didn't they tell usabout this before? so at this point, i tell themthe story, much as i'm telling you here now up this point.

and i explained, no, the projectwas canceled several months ago. this badge was canceled. if i get it anywhere near adoor, security will appear immediately and escortme outside. and they laugh until theyrealize i'm serious. and then they quiet and thinkabout it for a bit. and then, they just lookat me and say, ok. we really want to ship this.

we'll figure outa way to do it. whatever you do, don'trepeat this story. so now, we're adopted by thepeople in charge of the power pc project on whom the company'sfuture depends, which, in some sense,makes this official. but we're still sneakinginto the building. so at this point, thingsget really weird. because they're assigningpeople to work on it. and i'm in the middle of thiswhirlwind of activity with all

of these employees actuallyassigned to do various things on it and this project that i'meffectively managing while i'm sneaking intothe building. so the first thing they do,because it's really easy to do an impressive demo that isjust smoke and mirrors. so the very first thing they do,naturally, is they have to get some due diligence. they have to get some someoneto test this and to see whether it's real, whetherit's worth shipping, or

whether it's just smoke andmirrors in the demo. so that head of qa on the powerpc software is the first person to take me aside andsays, i've got these two guys working upstairs. they already have a fulltime schedule. they're really overworked. but i want to introduce you justto see whether they can squeeze in extra time into doingsome qa on your project 'cause we need test this.

and i smile. and he introduces us. and we shake hands. and i meet my testing team. i didn't tell him that they'dbeen working on it for a few weeks now. so we have official qa now. the other big thing we needis usability testing. because we want thisto be actually

useful in the schools. it's going to go outon every machine. and it's just going to be therein the classrooms. and the big question for us is,is this something the teachers can use? and it's very different todesign software for engineers than it is to designsoftware that's useful in the classroom. in a classroom situation,teachers have no

attention to spare. any time spent playing with thesoftware when it doesn't work is taking away from thecurriculum, it's taking away from students. any time something crashes,it's just a waste of time for everyone. so apple assigned people fromtheir hi department to do a formal usability study. they assigned people fromqa to do testing.

they assigned a whole lot ofpeople to do localizations. it was, i think, translatedinto about 15 languages. meanwhile, we're sneakingin the building. apparently, the people who runthe power pc project, despite the future of the companydepending on it, can't get us badges. because you can't havea badge without a signed purchase order. you can't get a purchase orderwithout a signed contract.

and there's no way they couldexplain our situation to legal without us being escortedout immediately. so at one point while all thisis going on, this one fellow, tim, sees greg waiting in frontof the building looking for someone to let him in, andjust accosts greg and says, i'm sick and tired of you guysloitering in front of the building every day. i'm going to get you badges. so he comes to my officeand tells us he's

going to get us badges. i tried to explain that,no, they've tried. they couldn't. we can't get badgeswithout a po. we can't get a po withouta contract. and he just drags me down tohis office and sits on the phone with the badge folks. and he goes around with themin circles for 20 minutes. and i'm just listening to hisside of the conversation.

but i'm sure it's going to the sameway it always has, and he'll fail. they say, well, if they'reemployees, they get their badges after they go throughthe employee orientation. and he explains, they'renot employees. we have no intentionof hiring them. and they say, well, if they'recontractors, to get the badge, you need to get thesigned contract.

and then, he stops and says, no,they're not contractors. we're not actuallypaying them. then he says, well ifthey're employees-- and they just go in a circle. they're not contractors. they're not employees. we're not paying them. yes, they need badges. but he wore them down.

eventually, they said ok. you take the badge form. where it says contractors,you cross that out and you write in vendor. and where it says contractnumber, you write in the magic words, no dollar contract. he got us badges the next day. it amazed everyone. it amazed the people runningthe project.

apparently, apple, as mostcompanies, has a strict caste system. you can tell the distance bythe background color on people's badges, where theyare relative to you in the caste hierarchy. the white badgesare employees. they're very hard to fire, andthey get lots of perks. i think it was the yellow badgeswere summer interns. they're treated as employees,but they're really just

college students. and the green badgesare contractors. and because of various irsrules, you can't give them any perks and have to treatthem very shabbily. but we had orange badges. and no one had seenthese before. but what amazed me is theyexactly described us. as vendors, what it meant isthat we didn't work for apple. they didn't pay us.

but my company has us on loanto apple to work on site. so we were the few, theproud, the vendors. the people that water theplants, worked in the cafeteria, and fixed the xeroxmachine are the vendors. they don't actually work here. but we get building access. so we didn't have tosneak in anymore. that was good. usability testing was a veryeye-opening experience for me.

i had been working on variousforms of this software for 10 years, entirely focusedon the usability. we were designing it entirelyin the mind of this is going to go into classrooms withoutany training, with very little documentation, withno support. and we want it to be usefulto teachers and students. and we spent a long timeagonizing over small details in the user interface thinking,what would make its simplest, easiest to learn,easiest to use, most useful in

the classroom situation? and apple did a fabulous jobon the usability testing. they went out, and they gota group of teachers. and in the first day of thetesting, the teachers all sat around in groups of two. they were given the software andsaid to make problems for the students to work duringthe rest of the week. because they were working ingroups of two, they would talk aloud through everything.

and the person running thetest just sat them at the software and said, thisis going to go on machines in the classroom. it's not coming with anything. so we want to see what you cando with it to try and set some problems for your students. and then, he just sat withfolded hands for the next two hours watching them, not sayinganything while they tried to use it, while i wasbehind a two-way mirror

pounding on the glass. it's a very eye-openingexperience. i think anyone who designs userinterface, all engineers should be forced to go throughthis, watching real users actually try to usetheir software. the questions we agonized overwere so far beyond the actual issues that stoppedthem several steps before they got there. and the sorts of things thatthey have trouble with were

things that nevereven occurred to us could be a problem. and watching that eight hours aday for five days, as group after group went in and ran intoproblems, it forced us both to go back and rethink alot of things from scratch, and enormously improved theinterface, and enormously improved how it was usefulin the classroom. so being publicly known thecompany helped in a lot of ways with all of theresources that we

suddenly had at our disposal. usability testing was amazing. it also made thingsmore complicated. because suddenly, being public,the software was being demoed to outside companiesas well. and as soon as that happened,two different groups called in, one of them claiming thatthe software infringed upon his patent causing a fire drill,because apple has deep pockets and they don't want toship something that gives them

any exposure. it took me a while todemonstrate that the patent that he was referring toactually referred to me as the prior art. so they really didn't haveto worry about this case. and another company that didmathematical software simply called and said, you shouldn'tship this, just because they want to be the only peoplethat are known to ship mathematical software.

and apple very politelydeclined, which impressed me. because a week beforewe were still sneaking into the building. and the next week, apple isrising to our defense. so at this point, we're workinglong hours, 14, 16 hours a day. it's kind of a blur. we just show up, run through thetests, check out the bugs, fix things.

we were very fortunatein one respect. when we started the project, theoriginal ship date for the power pc hardwarewas much sooner. and because they had to ramp upthe factory, the drop-dead date for the software to startthe production was several months before the actualrelease date. and so, when we started, wethought we actually only had a little more than six weeks oreight weeks to finish the entire project beforeit had to go to the

golden master disk. and it was a verytight schedule. we designed everything aroundthat schedule, because they weren't going to delaythe hardware for us. we weren't on anyofficial plans. if we were late, they justwouldn't ship it. that was simple. and no one else would care. on the other hand, because noone was expecting the software

there was no pressureon features. there was no design document. there's no one saying, it hasto do this, this, and this. so we just cut down the featuresets to what we basically already had and whatwe knew we could ship reliably, and then focusedentirely on usability and on making this offer stable. we wanted to make sure thatsomething shipping on millions of machines would never crash.

and then, the hardware scheduleslipped three months, for reasons that had nothingto do with us, obviously. and so, at this point, we havethe code essentially frozen, the feature set completelyfrozen. and we have an extra threemonths during which we did nothing but testing and aline-by-line code review. it was a unique opportunity. and it was more testing thani'd ever had any project before or since.

because we were the only nativepower pc application, everyone who had a prototype-- and, as time went on, this wasmore and more people-- immediately went to oursoftware to play with. because it was the mostinteresting to play with. other than our software and oneor two other tiny demos, it wasn't obvious outside thebox that this was nothing but a typical macintosh. compatibility was really good.

but running things underemulation, they ran about as fast as they used to on the lastgeneration of machines. it was only when you ran anative application that, suddenly, it was doing thingsyou could not possibly do on the previous generationmachines. and it was obvious that, underthe hood, this was something completely different. and so, for many months, as theonly native application, everyone who had the hardwarewas playing with our software

and coming by my office andsaying, this doesn't work. this is confusing. it crashed here. and so, for many months,we had no features. we did a line-by-linecode review. and we did nothing but testingand no code changes that weren't bug fixes. as a result, it was the moststable application i have ever shipped before or since.

and i like to brag thatwe reached what-- apple for many years after thatpoint, when people would bring their hardware incomplaining of random crashes, one of the things they wouldrecommended, and one of the first things they would dowhen they had a piece of hardware is they would run theself-running demo that the graphing calculator shippedand let it run overnight. and if the demo crashed, theywould classify that as a hardware failure.

i like to think of thatas the theoretical limit of software stability. now, to be fair, later versionsof the software beyond 1.0 were notthat crash proof. but that original version i'mvery proud of in that respect. so to make a long story short,eventually, yes, they shipped it. it's still shipping in the macos 9 ghetto to this day. but it's been shipping now for12 years and has been on, oh,

20 or 30 or 40 millionmachines. it's in use in high schoolclassrooms around the world. only recently, with tiger, didthey replace it with a native program called grapher that'scompletely unrelated to this. but it's still shipping aspart of the mac os 9 partition, if youinstall classic. now, as the project was ending,i hired a few people out of pocket and wasable to pay them. but greg had been working 12,14, 16 hour days for six

months now as a favor to me onsomething that i initially said, oh, it'll takeabout a month. and there's no way he couldexplain to his parents what he'd been doing. they don't use computers. they're not technical. so one day, i was looking at thenew york times, and i saw the picture of a friend of mineon the business section. and i knew the guy thatthe article's about.

so i showed it to greg and said,hey, i know this fellow. how'd you like to have yourpicture in the new york times so your parents know whatyou've been up to? and he looked at me and madethe only possible response. he said, yeah, right. so i made a bet on the spot fordinner at this really nice restaurant. and to be honest, ok, i wasexpecting to lose the bet. but i knew the fellow that hadwritten this other article.

and i called him up and said,i've been working on this cool software. i'd like to show it to you. now, i don't work for apple. and i can't represent apple. but the software is somethingi've been working on for 10 years. and it's my software. so i can talk aboutthe software.

i can talk aboutuser interface. and i invited him over. and i gave the same spiel iwas giving other people. i didn't talk about apple atall, except to say that we developed this new software torun and new faster machines. and the apple, ibm, motorolaalliance was public. so he knew about that. and he was writing an articleprincipally about the alliance between apple, ibm,and motorola.

but they're big companies. and just to put a friendly face,a human face on the main article, he talked a littleabout the new generation of software and had a photo ofthe three of us who had principally wrote the softwareon the front time of the new york business section, so greg'sparents could see what he had been up to. now, i called someone i knewin apple's public relations department and said,i'm giving an

interview to the times. would you like to send someoneover to represent apple? and they gave me the standardresponse, engineers are not allowed to talk withthe press. but i didn't work there. so that was-- the next time i saw thatpr person, she was absolutely livid. presumably because therewas really nothing she

could do about it. we couldn't be fired. but it was good pressfor apple. and our parents were pleased. that's basically the story. i'm still workingon the software. this is last year's version. i'm working on the next releasethat will be out in six months or so.

i've been working on it now for20 years every day, as an exercise in softwarearchaeology. audience: where can we get it? ron avitzur: email eitherme or greg. the official plug. the website is www.pacifict.com,or just google graphing calculator. audience: so how did you guyspay for your apartments and food and stuff like that?

[inaudible] ron avitzur: well, wewere working 12, 14, 16 hours a day. so our expenses were very low. and i live simply. and we were both contractorsat apple prior to this. apple paid very wellas contractors. in some sense, my attitude wasapple paid me very well as a contractor for thingsthat didn't ship.

i felt duty bound to actuallyfinish it and ship it. audience: were you retroactivelypaid at all or compensated in any wayonce it shipped? and also, did jobs evercomment on [inaudible] ron avitzur: all of thisoccurred after steve jobs had left. and before he returned. so it was not duringhis tenure. i haven't heard anythingfrom him about it.

we wanted the softwareto keep shipping. we didn't want apple to have anyreason to have to pull it. so yes, after all of theevents of the story, everything was maderetroactively kosher. the software was licensed toapple so that they could ship it comfortably for aslong as they liked. audience: could you repeat thequestions for the video-- ron avitzur: oh, i'm sorry. the question was werewe eventually paid?

and did steve jobs evercomment on it? and we did eventually license itto apple for a nominal fee. but no, there's was neverany comment from steve. audience: so how long did yougo between paychecks? ron avitzur: the questionwas, so how long did i go between paychecks? i don't actually recall. because i'd been working for acontractor my entire career, it was typical for meto go two or three

years between paychecks. so it wasn't out of theordinary in my case. i often worked for a company,worked on my own for several years, and then licensedthe work. and so, this feltquite natural. audience: it's not a question,but i, when i first bought the power pc, i was delighted withthe hardware and [inaudible] was just the coolest thingon the system. and i absolutely lovedthe software then.

this is fantastic hearingthe story now. ron avitzur: thankyou very much. audience: thank you very muchfor sharing it with us. ron avitzur: our pleasure. [? valdemar. ?] audience: what do you do now? ron avitzur: oh. what do i do now? audience: are you still workingon this full time?

ron avitzur: i'm still workingon what is essentially the first c program i startedwriting in 1985. i'm still workingon it full time. you know what software's like. it's still not done. teachers have been usingit in this form for over 12 years now. i have a very long collectedlist of requests that they have. i'm continuing to rundown the feature list,

continuing to find ways toimprove it without making the interface more complex. it's a constant tension betweenkeeping the interface simple, easy to use, and easy tolearn while also being able to do more interesting andmore powerful things. the fundamental design thati'm trying to reach is one where, if you open up a typicaltextbook for some subject, you'll often see anequation and a picture. and i want to be able to typethat equation as you see it in

the textbook and generate anappropriate picture as a visualization for that. and that's a very broadspace of problem. audience: so you madethis 12 years ago. since then, computershave advanced a lot. and you mentioned that thiswas the activation that basically illustrated howpowerful the power pc was. and has it changed a lotin the past 12 years? have you taken advantage ofthe many generations of

hardware improvements thathave come since then? ron avitzur: the question isthat the original graphing calculator, 1.0, wasnow 12 years ago. and hardware has improvedenormously in the last 12 years, just as it did in the 10years between the original macintosh and the power pc. and have you taken advantagesof the improvements in the hardware since then? absolutely.

that's part of why i'mcontinuing to work on it. each new speed bump in availablehardware enables new kinds of visualization. and i'm absolutely inlove with the modern generation of gpu's. you often have far morehorsepower sitting on your graphics card, which is usefulin a completely general mathematical way as a generalsimd computer, single instruction, multiple data,to do vast amount of

computations quickly. one of the features i'mparticularly proud of in this release from a couple of yearsago, it will take equations you type, and on the flycompile them into gpu programs. so that, as well asusing the cpu to render the 3-d image, it will use the gputo texture that, based on the explicit equations that you'vedtyped, compiling it on the fly for the gpu. with each new generation ofhardware and each new

improvement, it enables newkinds of visualization and enables new thingsin the classroom. so yes, absolutely. audience: i have acouple questions. the first one is do you know whyapple stopped using your program and they made the switchto a different one? ron avitzur: the first questionis, do i know why apple stopped including ourgraphing calculator and acquired grapher froma swiss company.

i can't speak on behalfof apple. i could only speculate. and i wouldn't wantto speculate. i expect part of the reason,certainly, it took us a very long time before ourmac os 10 ten native release was available. it was actually available beforethey released tiger. but that was at leastpart of the issue. i don't know fully what wasgoing on back there.

i'm actually very much outof touch with apple. i don't know what goes on behindclosed doors there. audience: my second question is,i'm just curious, what do you think the coolestfeature of your graphing calculator is? ron avitzur: what do i thinkthe coolest feature is? there's two parts to that. fundamentally, i still think thecoolest thing is the very boring thing.

just the entirely useful and 2-dwork that you could do 20 years ago on old hardware. that you can just type sin x andimmediately get a useful picture without a lot ofdialogues, without a command line, without a lot of interfacein your way. that you can just focuson the math and say, what's going on here? and that's not flashy or whizzyand could have been done a long time ago and workedfine on 68k machines.

but in terms of being actuallyuseful in the classroom, what i think is most cool about itis that teachers can bring this up on an overhead, and,without preparation, type something in, get a prettypicture, and then move on with the rest of the lecture, havingspent 30 seconds on it, without having to focus all oftheir attention on ok, i'm going to use the computer now. wait while i get thingsset up perfectly. and let's hope itactually works.

being able to do something thata teacher can use in a hectic classroom with theirattention split and without having time to prepareeverything advance, in my mind, that's what'smost interesting. now, as a technical person,though, the other side of things is, as a programmer,there's a lot going on under the hood to make things fast.because the fundamental question i keep looking at is,given whatever today's state of the art in computer hardwarespeed is, what can i

do with that speedin a fluid way? what can i do that speedthat happens with immediate feedback? and that keeps changing. and most recently, all of theevolution of the gpu towards putting all of this amazingfloating point computing power and parallel hardware on yourvideo card lets you do really nice things. and so, again, if anyone herewould like to play with it,

just email greg or i.

hello, ujiie here. the new kronos! what do you think? it does sound good! especially the piano sound i was just using here, the berlin grand piano. this is a fantastic sound that's been added to the new kronos. such a good sound! it's so good, it's better than fantastic!

and have a look at this! you can control this via the touch panel! and another new feature is the string resonance setting. ok let's do this. you can see which strings are resonating while you play. wow! and there are 12 different velocity levels it switches between. it's very smooth. and here, una corda, you can set the pedal to a soft setting. yeah, nice! you hear it?

this piano is great! this sound, and this rhc keyboard are a match made in heaven! really, really nice! ok, at the start of the demo, i played along to a drum track. yeah, it really sounds great! awesome! ah, by the way, since we are talking about the kronos, here at musictrack jp, we've done about 4 kronos videos. so, if you're curious about the basic functions of the kronos,

how many sounds it has, what kind of synth engines are in it, and so on, please check those videos. today, though, i'd like to show you the new kronos, and its new & improved features. that's today's focus. like this berlin grand piano here, which is just phenomenal, and a just-for-this-kronos sound, ok? awesome. now, another very interesting feature here, is what i'll talk about next.

now, of course, there's an almost innumerable amount of sounds here. but this time, this thing... look at the screen, i've put a few in my favorites folder already. the names themselves are just super! what's this? saturday in the park? saturday in the park, well, that's this... this!! you know? american song, with the horns? the band with the horn section. or this, don't stop believing! this is, well, this!

"imagine" eh? must be none other than that person. oh this is really...

this sound is too beautiful! it's the same sound as on the record! that sound! lady madonna piano. that has to be this one... this one, right? a four-man band from the uk. i'm not in love. this is that band, how many cc's was it? oh and this one too...

oh that's such a fantastically good sound! superstition. superstition... (explains meaning in japanese) a clavinet. this!!! you know him, he moves side to side like this. a man of color, right? on to organ sounds. these are great too! a whiter shade of organ. this has gotta be that, uh,

blue shadow, right? this is that sound. great! uhhh, this! karn evil #9. this one too... this. a three-man prog-rock organ band. this is really awesome! strings next.

village ghetto strings. this captures that guy, the one i like, so well. that. is. it!! eleanor rigby strings. this one too, 4-man outfit from the uk. this kind of thing. super famous song! papa don't preach. this one is that, uh, you know, female artist. a rather flamboyant female artist... this! the strings they used in the intro.

this thing. these sounds are almost scary!!! brass up next. this is fun! ah, this one is very well done! sledgehammer brass. sledgehammer. so, this sound... this. right? it's the same sound! sir duke brass. sir duke, so that must mean... this guy again.

this is the same sound as used on that recording! woodwinds. this one, sledgehammer shakuhachi. this!!! same! from the intro. that one. great! let's go on to bass. and the bass sounds? yep. this. kyrie, that one, uhhhh...

a west-coast band, this. mister, uh, mister mister mister mister thingy. ohh, this, it's , i mean it's even split right and left, different sounds. chameleon bass, so that's... this, right? thriller bass. thriller bass? gotta be mj. a phrase like that. very famous! birdland...

bass. (bird island) this too... exact same sound! next... this one, 1984. slow strings. that four member hard-rock band... the intro to their super famous album? this. while we're on sounds like that, how about this? that song, with that famous intro!

very well done! africa. the touch response gives you that sound here! final countdown. final countdown? must be this... and we are in that world! this is so good! 1999. uh 1999, that would be that one, uh, the "young aristocrat" ok? yeah, this. well, what can i say? sounds great!

great!!! but if you go one step further, there's the set list. and my set list here, i've assembled a bunch of sounds i'd never heard before. until now, they were all one color, but now you can color code them.what a good idea! so, first, i have these pink-ish colored ones. these are piano sounds. pastel blue, electric piano sounds. kronos...

- on this episode casey stops by. again. (hip hop music) you ask questions. and i answer them. this is the #askgaryvee show. - you know i think it waslike 122 or something. we had the same count on your show

and on my show the same day. - are you serious? - yeah, it was like the moonsaligned for a minute, gary. (laughs) - did videos explode? - yeah, i mean... - case, tell the vayner nation for the one or two peoplethat don't know who you are. this is a first time,

second time guest appearance. and we've only had like three guests ever. so clearly, i like you a lot, case. - thanks, man. i mean, it's great to be here. who am i? i make videos. i have a technology company. and i'm a huge admirer of you, gary. and this wonderful showthat you've been putting

out there for all of us viewers. - i appreciate it. so, i think we'll just get right into it. i think we had a lotof questions yesterday. kinda tweeted out that you'd be here and people got excited. you have a new startup. which we'll give some time, i'd like you to talk about it for a few minutes.

- great. - but india. that's why i went on the left side. - i know. (laughs) - let's... get into... the show. (laughs) not bad, you are getting better. i'm gonna have to find some new ticks

to throw you off. india let's get into it. - [voiceover] lucy asks, "at the age of 18, what's thebest way to approach a company "and ask for work experience?" - wait--- ask for an internship? - you ask for work?don't you just ask for work? - [india] i guess because a lot people come to companies and it says like

you need this many years of experience. - oh, i see.- [gary] i see. - [india] but how doyou get that experience if nobody wants to hireyou because everybody-- - when you're 18. - [india] yeah. - i got an answer to this, i mean i think that we now live in a world-- casey, how many people,

how many people hit youup on twitter, email, other platforms, comments and youtube, you must have a gadrillion. how many times have you in your career-- when would you say thatyou started really building into a place where peoplewere really pinging you? is this now a two, three,four year phenomenon for you? - for work? - yes.

not for work, more likepeople that are fans of you, clearly at this point. - it's been a long time. - how long, do you think? - i mean, i think since thefirst video i made went viral over 10 years ago. - got it. so, it's been prettyconsistent since then? - yeah.- good, how many times have yourandomly done stuff?

yes, met someone, got on a phone. how many times? - now, if i could count that, gary. more than i could ever keep track of. - that's your answer. who was the question?- [india] lucy. - lucy that's your answer. i also-- the majority of this entire team

is based on random shit. like so, i think you just askas many times as possible. there are unlimited companiesin a world you can get to almost anybody because of twitter, again, a true social network. more so than comments on content which a lot of other platforms are. email, at this point, ithink has been played out. it's harder to get topeople through email.

but that will still work too. i think it's stunning that you can get to most people in the world today. i don't think people, as many people are as wired as you and i. i think people have drawn the line to no but there's plenty. we're not the only two nice guys believing in serendipity.

there are tens of thousandswildly accomplished ceos, co-founders, thatwill absolutely hire you on spec from onerequest to get experience whether they give you an internship or pay you minimum wageor even give you a salary. it is a wide open field. it's about asking. - yeah, i mean, i wouldeven complement what, everything gary just said,i'd complement that, lucy

by saying, you also have anopportunity via these myriad social outlets and theinternet as a whole. not just to reach out and contact people but to actually prove yourself. like, if you need to show this experience that these people are seeking after, just do it. you don't need someone'spermission to do that. if you wanna work inconstruction, build something.

if you wanna work inan automotive factory, work on cars. if you wanna be a filmmaker, make videos. you now have these multitudeof options in front of you to show that you're capable. if you wanna be a writer, write something. - you know what happensin that environment? if you actually have it, not everybody has it.

but if you actually have it, you start getting intoa place very quickly that you realize, oh wait, i don't need to have a jobin the first place. (laughs) - that's right, no longer do you need therunway to prove your worth on. you don't need someone else's approval, you just do it yourself. scary and very hard to do,

it's not to be underestimatedjust how challenging that is but it doesn't mean thatthe opportunity isn't there and that opportunity wasn'tthere 10, 15 years ago. but it's uniquely there now. - we're byproducts of that game. - my entire career isproduct of that game. - i had a liquor storein new jersey and got 300 dollar camera at best buy and decided to make wine videos

because i wanted to be like emeril. - wine videos.- wine videos. india, let's move it. oh, by the way, i didn't getweird there out of nowhere. we are streaming onfacebook live right now. be interesting to see-- it's a whole differentdynamic 'cause these shows are consumed so much on facebook live which launched yesterday.

india? - [voiceover] benjamin asks, "where does confidence come from? "how do you both work on it?" - that's tough. - i'll let you go first here. - confidence, i mean-- - hold on. - [voiceover] that's awesome.

- yeah, i couldn't (laughs) - you didn't know the address? - gary, over your left shoulderis my electric skateboard. right there.- yes. - i rode that electric skateboard up here. and if there's one thing youdon't wanna do while traveling 24 miles an hour in heavytraffic through new york city, on an electric skateboardis to whip out your phone and double check an address.

- respect. - so you gotta write that down. all right, answer ben's questionabout your outrageous level how does one have enoughconfidence to ride an electronic skateboard 24miles an hour in new york city? - i have an answer that'snot really a great one for people to hear, so i'm hoping you have a better answer than i do, gary. my answer goes like this,

i'm one of four kids. there was the first born. the only daughter. and the baby. and then there's theforgotten child, casey. so in my household, itwas like fight to survive. and my confidence was like born into me out of need to just existand be noticed and be fed. now, not everyone has hadthe beautiful misfortune

that yielded the fortune of my childhood that turned me into a confident person. but i think it's verydifferent from someone who finds themselves, as anadult, in a world that sort of thrives on those who have confidence and being forced to findthat within yourself. but one shortcut i found tothat is making something. making anything. whether that's writing something,

whether it's something creative, whether it's something more pragmatic. whether that's a relationship, whether that's a friendship. if you generate somethingyou can take sort of, you take comfort in whatit is that you've just made in your yield and i thinkthat's a really great shortcut to finding confidence. - casey, answer--

give me a word associationplay really quick here. fear. - illness. - illness? - yeah, that's-- - i really didn't want you to go there. thanks for screwing up my answer. for me-- - the only thing, beingsick is the only thing

that i'm scared of. - by the way,that's really funny. actually, that's really interesting. because i was dissing a little bit and now i'm gonna put you on a pedestal. it is literally the health andwell-being of the people i-- weirdly, for me, it's the people i love is scary ass crap for me. it's a very big challenge

and we all go through it. and so, i'm with you on that. where i was going with that, is this, i am not scared to fail, by any stretch of the imagination. and it comes in the form oftruly being in this weird place where i really don't give arat's ass what anybody thinks. and again, that's wiring. how does one work on that?

what do you think i sit-- what do you think i go in my room like, "don't care what anybody thinks. don't care what anybody--" like, you don't do that. - yeah, you get made funof a lot in high school and it seems like the entireworld is falling apart because you're being picked on. - i want people to make fun of me.

- you grow up and itrealize it doesn't matter what other people think. - i do, india.- you really don't. it really doesn't. and appreciating that-- - it's like those lasttwo weeks of high school. if you can capture that feeling. - those last two weeks in high school, literally, everybody stopscaring what anybody thinks

'cause you're all going somewhere else. and so, i've always had that feeling. it's crazy how, you know, i was born with confidence,i truly believe that. i do believe, in my case, ialso have the fortunate aspects of coming from a struggleplace, in a different way. on the flip side, my mom,i was the first born. the apple of my mom's eye. and so i had massivepositive reinforcement

which then just made mefeel entitled to success. in an environment wherei was failing classes. i was 4 foot 11 when i went into my freshman year of high school. not so strong...- rough, rough. -of a situation.(laughs) but i walked out-- i mean my book bag was bigger. where's you big book bag?

- didn't bring it today,not on the skateboard, gary. - like, i literally-- my book bag was like your size. let me tell you storyabout my freshman year. ninth day of school, i'mwalking down the hallway. i'm late for a class. i have a jordache book bag that's twice the size of me. i'm walking.

it's like eight minutesafter the bell rang, i'm lost as fuck 'cause we have huge high school,i have do idea where i am. this is terrible, right. there's some dude, hanging out of class with paige parlow who was one of the hottestgirls in our school. it eight days intoschool, i know who she is. she's a sophomore, he's a senior.

i'm walking by them. he goes, "psst." i go, (beep). i go, "yeah." he goes, "the nurseryschool's over there." that's what happened to me. do you know what i went through, what went through my mind?

i said, wait till (beep)(beep) (beep) face, punk. sorry, india. that's what went through my mind. and that's just wherei've always been. (laughs) i know it was a little crude. - gary vaynerchuk, folks. (laugh) - all right, let's move on. - [india] from allen.

- india's blushing right now. - i am, but i blush all the time, so. - [gary] andrew's really blushing. - that was funny, i'm sorry. - [voiceover] allen asks, "casey, how will define ifbeme is a success or not, "if you haven't already?" - i definitely haven't already. beme which is my technology startup.

here's some context for-- - link that up drock, in the facebook post, in the youtube post. let's make sure everyone who watches-- - in fact, we'll put a linkbelow that if you click on it we'll automatically unlock beme for you and you will automaticallybe following gary. - oh.

- you like that? we're working, it's a new productwe got a new feature-- - take that (beep) (beep).(laughs) - in the history of social networks, there's maybe been, what, what would you say? how many have succeeded, eight? - seven.- seven. that is the swimming pool

that we are currently wading around in. so to call yourself a success - and i think that wedefine that as a success of like such meaningful scale, financial stability, looking like it's gonnago in the right direction. - social impact. - impact, for sure. - to me, that is a success.

and i mean it, when you cancount it on less than two hands how many companies have succeeded. it's not just catching a unicorn. it is the most, the rarest, hardest thing you could ever hope to accomplish in the space of technology. that's what we're trying to do, so have i considered it a success? not even close.

ask me in four or five years. - click the app. yeah, i mean look, to me one can argue thatit's a success right now. the amount of people that i come across who are doing other things in their career that wanna go then make a app that has the ambition towin the consumer web game is extraordinarily high.

the amount that even saw the day of light, even saw the day of lightwith well financed funding. that's repetitive. with money. with all those things going in their way, is very small. then to have that happen on top of which to have a very smart, you'rea tremendous marketer. you know, that means a lot to me.

i'm sure you define yourselfin a lot of different ways but your marketing skillsare very high, i admire them. the amount of noise andexcitement that was generated felt amazing to me, thenyou gotta back it up. so, now there's the next challenge. now's the tough part. is actually making theproduct at that level. - yeah, i mean some of the-- - tim?

are you typing a new, i'm sorry. don't do a new one. if it's done, it's done. - [voiceover] okay. - cool, all right. - we just lost our facebook feed. - no, no, okay. - but some, some of the greatest failures ever were

a gigantic pile, anaggregate of tiny successes. so i appreciate everything you just said and i really hold dear the tinysuccesses we've had thus far - 60 seconds for everybody who's watching what it is, how you describe in 60. i know that's tough but-- - what beme is, is beme is a way of sharing via video the tiny moments you experience in life

and doing it in a waythat's absolutely dynamic but doesn't interrupt the moment. and within this 60 second window i demonstrate to youexactly how that happens and it looks like this. like right now, i'm capturingvideo of this entire set. of gary's beautiful face just like that and when you hear the noise (phone beeps)

that means it's been sharedto all of my followers. that's what beme is. - you know what i love? but you'll never be able tosee what you just shared. - well, not until it's live in the network and everybody else can. and that's the whole idea. is to remove the scrutiny. it's to remove sort of,

controlling the image of yourself in life that you put out there. i'd like to say, beme is not about sharing how the world sees you. it's sharing how you see the world. - and what's interesting about that is, what's really happening in social is platforms are showing whoyou want to be to the world. we are all living in the mostpr'd version of ourselves.

we have 15 year old girls running around america right now who are massive growth hackers who understand the speedin which likes come in on an instagram photo thattook them 17 minutes to take and then they take it downwithin the first 60 seconds because they don't like thedata that's coming back as fast. - right. - and they reset.

literally, three hour dynamicsto pull off the one picture that's gonna capture the momentof the concert you went to which is pr at its finest. it's an interesting dynamic. - yeah, we're tryingto get away from that. because i think our, the ethos, the principle behindthis, our mission statement is to promote understandingby sharing perspective. and i think if you can tap intoother people's perspectives,

you get a better idea as towhat the world is around you. - when i-- i'm an investor. when i really got excited, i'm still excited for this moment, is the thought of like thefirst time i go on stage and beme to me is so exciting. like literally, peopleseeing what i get to see when i give these keynotesversus watching me

is an exciting moment for me. - do you know, and we canstop talking about beme in a second, but last night a friend of my named shon, shonduras you know him from snapchat. - yeah, yeah. - shon bemed his daughter being born. - what? (whistles)

- i mean, my wife and iwatched it this morning in bed and we were both crying. i mean it was unbelievable. it wasn't the yucky stuff and it wasn't the stuff thatyou would deem inappropriate. but it was his wife in thechair, in the bed being anxious and in the next shot he's holding his beautiful newborn baby girl. - that's cool.

- and it was such an emotional,such a real, raw thing. and that's we're hoping to accomplish. he didn't think, he just shared. - love it. - next question. - [voiceover] alex asks, "what advice would you giveto a high school student "struggling to decide what topursue as a future career?" - i've got an answer.

get busy. do something, do anything. and one of my favorite pieces of advice as to exactly what you should do, is do something you hate. like, i didn't find mypassion for entrepreneuralship and filmmaking and everythingthat i've done in my career. i didn't find that by doing it. i found that by scrubbing pots

in a really terrible seafood restaurant. because when you spend 50hours a week scrubbing pots, it's 50 hours a week you're obsessing about what you wish you were doing. sitting around playing video games in your parents' sweet house is the worst way to findyour mission in life. do something, staying busyis a really, really easy path to find something you trulywanna invest yourself in.

- i would also then say to recognize that playing video games inyour parents' sweet house is probably your outletto success in your career. i would say that yourultimate strengths and wants are the quickest gateway drug to upside once you recognize that there'ssomething to be done there. too many of you, in the world don't believe that the thingthey like doing the most has financial upside.

we've drawn a line in the sand, that the thing we like is what we do when we have time to do it like. and the other places toeither make money or get by. so many people are in the other bucket are driven by, i'm gonna go into finance 'cause that's where the money is. or i just need enough money and then i'm gonna havegood work-life balance,

i'll be on the softballteam, i'll play video games. i really believe-- i really believe that somebodywho's watching this right now who obsesses on being on sixsoft ball teams right now, literally can make 127,000dollars a year in ad revenue and live events and acouple other sponsorships and selling a couple t-shirts by literally becomingthe authority on softball in america.

- my son who is a junior in high school is spending a good piece of his summer, including right now, today at a university inconnecticut studying computer, computer science, specificallyfocused on video game design. - yeah. - just to back up video playing. - video game culture in 19-- when we were kids.

to think it was a mass industry. i mean e-sport's gonnabe bigger than baseball in this country in 20 years. e-sport's is gonna be a bigger business than major league baseballin 20, 30 years from now. i'll go 30, i'm gonna hedge a little bit. in 30 years from now. i mean, that is incredible to me. india.

- [voiceover] atiyya asks, "if you could swap outone quality of your won "for one of casey's, and viceversa, what would it be?" - mine's very easy. i don't know if you know me well enough to answer this questionbut mine's very easy. i'm a wimp when itcomes to physical stuff. i don't ride skateboards. i don't surf or ski.

i do very little risk adventure. i look at gopro's, i'm like, who gives a rat's ass? like that's not even inmy consideration set. you know, one time jumpedoff a 50 foot cliff in jamaica, i stillcan't believe i did that. because there was a lot of chicks there. stuff was like peerpressure, college stuff.

i mean, like fuck it,everybody jumped too. some like eight year old jumped, like all right (laughs). so, having a little bitof an adventurous bone would be intriguing to me. i mean look, i'm super happy the way i am but if i have to answer the question, having a little bit ofthat free spiritedness i think is really attractive to me.

- i'm gonna go really specific here, gary and that's your taste in and eye for wine. you know, i am an uneducated kid from a lower middle class house. yet, i present myself as someonewho's fairly sophisticated. but when it comes to winewhich all conversations in this world lead to wine, i couldn't tell youwhich one came from a box and which one came from gary's cellar.

and that's something i really appreciate that you treat like an art form, gary. - i have a feeling we're gonna have video maybe in a, i think in12 to 18 months from now we are gonna have todrink very high end wine while jumping out of a plane or something. we're just gonna combine this-- - i hope not in that order. - no, no, in that order.

we're gonna be really-- we may forget the parachute out. it'll be big news. we'll probably get the mostpress we've ever gotten. - that's true.- you know, we're gone. - great youtube video. - we just drank too much wine,forget to pull the cord. - lot of clicks, yeah. before we end this video.

- yes?- you're looking buff, man. - crazy right? - yeah, you're getting jacked, huh? - it's happening.- yeah, big time. - it's happening. but you, i mean look at this. give them something, give them something. give 'em a little-- - ah, you're making me shy.

it's just this is because i have to carry this big ass camera around all the time. that's the only reason whyi have the physique i have. it's to support my career. - case, the guest always getsto ask the question of the day what question? i know you're ready, you hadto pull one out the last time. don't repeat it. you were trying to recall what it was,

so i'm buying you some time. anything you'd like, fire away. - that i ask the audience? - mm-hm, and they're gonnaanswer in the comment section. - okay, how about something broad? which is, give us some generic advice for how we could be better communicators to you.

gary and i both have- [gary] i like that. this platform that we've built, but we have this big platformthat's a huge loudspeaker that we can speak to a lot of people from. what is it that wedon't talk about enough? what is that we should be sharing more of that could have a great impact? - or how?- yeah. - that stuff we hear and we appreciate.

this was great. - thanks for being on the show. - yeah, of course, any time. i'll save it for the next one. you keep asking questions, we'll keep answering them.

noreply@blogger.com (Inside Casio) — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 22:54:00 +0700

hello, and welcome to another episode of the8-bit guy. today iâ€™m going to show you four vintagedigital cameras, and these do not use memory cards. some of these use floppy disks, some use superdisks,and even 3 inch compact discs. then iâ€™m going to take you around dallasand show you some interesting landmarks using these cameras to take pictures. ok, so the first camera i want to show youis the original sony mavica from 1997. by the way, the term mavica actually standsfor magnetic video camera. so this is my friend brandon, who runs anantique reproductions furniture store, and i met him through the synth meet because heis heavily into synthesizers and keyboards

like i am on my other channel. but, he is also an original owner of a sonymavica. and since i never actually owned a mavicaback in the 1990s, i wanted to have brandon here to tell you about his experience of actuallyusing one. now, before i can talk too much about this,i need to set the stage with a little history lesson. in 1997, you can easily say that 99% or moreof the population was still using film cameras, with only a tiny percentage using digitalcameras. so, we were at that stage where the earlyadopters were buying them, but the general population just really couldnâ€™t see thepoint yet.

they were happy with their film cameras, andthe digital cameras were pretty expensive. they didnâ€™t know where they would get theirprints made. but really, the biggest challenge, i thinkfor most digital camera users of the 1990s was simply figuring out how to get the picturesfrom their camera to their computer. this was a typical computer that somebodymight have in 1997. most people were still running windows 95,or even windows 3.1 on their pcs. and the macintosh was only just a few percentof the market share. one thing you might notice is that it hasno usb ports. you see, usb didnâ€™t exist.

well, technically it was invented in 1996. but it wasnâ€™t really available to consumersuntil 1998, a year after the mavica came onto the market. and even then, 99% of the population stilldid not have usb on their computers. so in 1997 there were a handful of 1st generationdigital cameras on the market, and nearly all of them required use of the serial portin order to transfer photos. so, serial ports, they always had like irqconflicts and all kinds of software problems, and of course there was no native operatingsystem support for these cameras. so you would have to install proprietary softwareand drivers in order to use these cameras,

they often didnâ€™t work right and there werelots of problems and each camera was completely different from the next camera, so there wasno standardization on how anything worked. if you had a laptop, you might be lucky enoughto get one of these devices, that allowed you to use a memory card and insert it intothe pc card socket of your laptop, which appeared as a native storage device for the computer. i donâ€™t believe any such devices existedfor desktop computers. so the beauty of the mavica was that you couldtake your photos, then remove the floppy disk and insert it directly into your pc and copythe files off, because every computer had a floppy drive back then!

and if you compared to a roll of film, youcould typically store 20 or 30 exposures on a roll. if you were going on vacation, it was probablyjust as convenient to carry around a bunch of floppy disks as it would have been filmrolls. even these old kodak disc film cartridgesonly had 15 exposures on a disk. the mavica could store around 20 photos ona single disk. not only that, but unlike film cameras ofthe time, it was possible to review your photos and delete the ones you didnâ€™t want. i distinctly remember that about half of thephotos i took on my film cameras ended up

in the trash after getting them developed. so, you know, everybody is used to their camerason their phone, and they just take pictures of everything. but, back in the days of film cameras, youknow, you had 24 exposures on a roll of film, and you were pretty conservative as to whatyou took pictures of. you didnâ€™t just go around shooting this,that, and the other. you were like â€œoh, this is a good shot,that i need to take a picture of.â€ but with the digital camera, having the convenienceof the floppy disk, you know i was going around taking pictures of everything.

and then, once i filled up the disk, i eitherpopped a new one in, or i would take it to the computer and dump it to the hard drive,so yeah, i was taking tons of pictures. and, in my business, in the furniture business,pictures are important, when i have customers in other cities. i used to have to draw stuff on a piece ofpaper and send it through a fax machine and hope that they could figure out what the heckthat i drew. but with email and cameras, yeah! sony originally released two versions of themavica in 1997. there was the low end fd5 and the high endfd7.

both had the same 640x480 resolution, bothhad the same 2.5â€ color lcd on the back. but the fd5 had a fixed focus lens, and thefd7 had a 10x zoom, which is really nice. the low end model retailed for $599 and thehigh end for $799. so i happen to have the high end version,with the 10x zoom. now the first thing people notice when i showthem this camera is that it is unusually large and bulky. despite being 20 years old, there are somethings you are likely to be familiar with. for example, if you hold the shutter buttondown part of the way, the camera will lock the focus and wait for you to depress it thefull way before taking the photo.

at which point, the floppy drive will fireup and you will have to wait while it saves your photo. *buzz buzz* it does have a flash, and rather nice zoomcontrols, as well as a manual focus with an actual knob. the screen does have some menus but therearenâ€™t many options to select. incidentally, this screen only has 165 by124 pixels. so it is barely good enough to use for menusand so the lcd was really just good enough for a basic viewfinder, you know just to knowwhat the heck it is youâ€™re actually pointing

the camera at. you know, another interesting thing is thatmost digital cameras, even from this time period, had an option to select differentphoto resolutions. but youâ€™ll notice no such setting in themenus on this thing. but it does have field and frame. now you may be wondering what the heck thatmeans. well, you see, sony didnâ€™t use a dedicatedccd sensor for this camera. they actually borrowed one from their consumercamcorder line of products. so the ccd in this thing was one that youmight have also found in a handicam that used

8mm video cassettes. so the actual ccd had a horizontal resolutionof 570 pixels. but the vertical resolution is much harderto explain. since it is designed for interlaced ntsc video,it uses two fields, which are scanned 1/60th of a second apart. so, the first field is 245 pixels. and so if you have the camera in field mode,the resolution is 570 by 245, pretty simple! but if you put it into frame mode, it willalso capture the second field, giving you a total of 570 by 490 resolution.

so, regardless of the mode, it would alwaysinterpolate the images up to 640 by 480 resolution. now, that resolution doesnâ€™t sound verygood, but really, it wasnâ€™t too bad considering at that time, the typical screen resolutionmost computers were running at was 640 by 480. for example, if i display a photo from thiscamera, it actually fills the entire screen on this computer because, well, thatâ€™s thenative resolution on this laptop. let me show you an example of a photo i tookin field mode, you can see thereâ€™s a lot of jagged edges around this area here. now hereâ€™s the same image taken in framemode. looks much better, right?

so you might ask why they would even includethe field mode in the first place. well, the reason has to do with the way theccd is designed to scan the two fields a few milliseconds apart from each other.. so if there is any motion it will turn outblurry in frame mode. in fact, if you notice, when i turn on thecamera flash, it automatically disables frame mode, because the flash only lasts long enoughto illuminate one field. so, i wanted to show you a few more photos,so i decided to take a little trip. in a previous episode i showed you some landmarksof dallas/fort worth, and today iâ€™m going to show you some interesting places in dallas.

unfortunately, it was totally overcast onthis sunday in november. so hereâ€™s me arriving at dallas city hall,fortunately they are closed on sunday. i took advantage of their ev charging providedin the parking lot. it may not seem familiar on this side, butthe other side should look familiar to you, because it was the headquarters in the 1987movie robocop! so even though robocop is supposed to takeplace in detroit, it was actually filmed all in dallas. in fact, you can clearly see reunion towerin the backdrop of this car chase scene. incidentally, reunion tower was also destroyedin the movie asteroid. but donâ€™t worry, reunion tower is stillhere and i can safely walk through these passageways

at city hall without any fear of being attackedby a giant robot. and look what i found, an old vintage payphone,now this relic ought to be on my channel, this is a historical piece of technology isnâ€™tit? i havenâ€™t seen one of these in ages. ok, so here we are at the dallas city hall,which youâ€™ve seen in the robocop movie, and it looks a little bit different becausethey put a matte painting to make it look like it was taller than it really was. but itâ€™s still a very interesting architecture. and iâ€™m going to take some pictures usingmy vintage floppy disk cameras and weâ€™ll

see what it looks like. anyway, i setup a tripod and hereâ€™s a photoi took on the mavica fd7. i also took some other shots of some of thesurrounding areas. so, i thought iâ€™d be an ultra hipster andtake my 20 year old vintage digital camera to the dallas auto show. now, the irony here is that iâ€™m using avintage camera to take a picture of a brand new piece of high technology, the chevroletbolt ev. so the photos really arenâ€™t thatgreat of quality by todayâ€™s standards, and honestly they werenâ€™t even that great bythe standards of film cameras of the era.

i went with the mavica, the fd7, mainly becauseof the floppy drive. and the instant gratification that, beingable to take a picture on the camera, popping it out, popping it into the computer, emailingmy customer a picture of a piece of furniture, that was for me the way to go. so, if i went with a scanner, those guys were around $500 to $800, and they were better quality. you could get up to 300 dpi resolution fora full page, but you still had to take the pictures with a film camera, run them downto your hourly, you know one-hour-photo developer, then come back, look through all of the pictures,find the one that you like, scan it, and then email your customer.

but with this guy, you could take 5 pictures,and then pick the best 2 or 3, i could email my customers a new piece of furniture thatjust came in, and hopefully iâ€™ve got a sale. ok, now i want to move 3 years ahead and seehow the mavica evolved. this is the fd85. and while it is very similar to the one ijust showed you, it has some very important evolutionary changes. for one thing, it has over 4 times the resolution,now clocking in at 1.3 megapixels, using a ccd that is dedicated for digital cameras. let me show you how much better these photoslook that were taken with this camera.

itâ€™s amazing what 3 years can do for thistechnology. i would really say this is really the thresholdwhere digital cameras quality surpassed film cameras, at least for personal use. the hardcore photographers held out anotherfew years with film. another interesting feature of this camerais that it has a 4x speed floppy drive. so, listen to the old drive and how fast itchanges tracks... and now listen to this one. * camera snap noise * *tap tap tap tap tap tap buzz buzz*

thatâ€™s pretty interesting because in allof the time the floppy drive was in use for pcs, nobody really ever attempted to makethe drive faster. you know, i guess there just wasnâ€™t muchof a need. but when the camera came out and people didnâ€™treally want to wait around to take the next photo, i guess suddenly there was a need,so i guess there was a reason to make it faster. this camera also introduced the ability touse this nifty device. itâ€™s a floppy disk adapter that takes amemory stick, and can be inserted into the camera. now, unfortunately, this will not work withthe older mavicas because the firmware has

to know how to actually use this. but, this allowed the mavica to store a lotmore photos. so you might ask if you could stick this thinginto a regular pcâ€™s floppy drive and read it like a disk? well, the answer is yes and no. so, you see, it required a special driverto be installed, and the only driver i could find that works with this is for windows xp. so, also, it requires an actual internal floppydrive using the original standardized controller. so that really limits the number of computersthat you could use this on.

so, for example, thereâ€™s no way you wouldever be able to use it with one of these usb floppy drives, even if it were running onwindows xp, because itâ€™s not a standard controller. the camera also included a composite videoport so that you could play back your photos on a tv, so the whole family could see them. another interesting feature added was theability to take movie clips. now, the resolution was a very low 320 by240 and the clips could only be a few seconds long because the floppy disk simply canâ€™thold very much. but still, thatâ€™s certainly something yourfilm camera couldnâ€™t do!

so, you would have needed to bring a separatevideo camera in order to do that! ok, so hereâ€™s a really rare camera i wantto show you. this was a competitor to sonyâ€™s mavica. it was made by panasonic. it came out around 1999, around the same timeas the last mavica i just showed you. now, the major advantage this camera has isthat it uses the ls-120 superdisk format. it can use regular 1.44 floppies, but whowould want to when you can use these futuristic looking superdisks that store 120 mb per disk. you would need 84 floppy disks to store thesame amount of data as a single superdisk.

so youâ€™ll notice that using a blank floppydisk, it says it can store 1 movie clip, 17 low-res photos, or 5 superfine photos. now with a blank superdisk, it says you canstore 90 movie clips, over 1500 low res photos, or 480 superfine photos. now one huge disadvantage to the ls-120 formatwas that most computers could not read it unless you bought an ls-120 drive, and thosewerenâ€™t cheap. so in a pinch you could still use a regular1.44 floppy if you needed to. so one of the interesting things about thiscamera is that i can turn it over to pc mode. and at that point it just becomes a storagedevice.

it will even work on my modern computer. and it just mounts itself as a disk and ican drag and drop the files right off of it. so, with the camera plugged into my pc likethis, it really just becomes an external ls-120 super disk drive, so it kind of takes the place of having one of these. itâ€™s not as elegant to use, but hey it works. now unfortunately, when i went to dallas,i accidentally had this camera set in low resolution mode, so these pictures donâ€™treally do the camera justice. but i did get a sample of the video clip mode. so i did take a few extra photos around herein the proper resolution to give you something

to look at. this is a 1.3 megapixel camera, very similarto the second mavica that i showed you. so the one annoying thing about this panasoniccamera is its size. i mean, itâ€™s the biggest of all four ofthese and all four of these are really too large in my opinion, but this one is particularlybulky and itâ€™s not something i want to be carrying around and using a lot. ok, so i want to jump ahead another 3 years. this camera represents the very end of themavica line. and, as you can see, they have ditched thefloppy disk in favor of a 3 inch compact disc.

now, it can use regular cd-r or cd-rw discs. so naturally, it could hold quite a bit moredata than a floppy disk, and yet still maintain compatibility with most computers of the time. of course, today most computers donâ€™t actuallyhave optical drives. all of the computers i have around the houseare slot-loading drives so they canâ€™t mount the 3 inch discs anyway. in fact, the only computer i could find thatcould read these discs was this old ibook clamshell of mine that has a spindle thati can manually pop the disc onto. now the great thing is with this camera isthat it does support usb so it doesnâ€™t really

even matter if you can read the discs, becauseall youâ€™ve got to do is plug this into your modern computerâ€™s usb port. and i can actually drag and drop the photosright off this camera without even needing to take the disc out. some interesting aspects of using a cd forthis is that you have to tell the camera to initialize the disc before you can use it. it warns that you have to sit the camera ona stable surface before doing this. when you are done with the disc, you haveto finalize it if you want to be able to read it in a computer.

however, if you use usb to grab the photos,it is really not necessary to finalize the disc. and while you can use any disc in the camerathat will fit, it will always complain and suggest that you use special mavica brandedcds. for example, this one actually has the mavicalogo on it and it seems to like this one better. so what about the photo quality? well, it is 3 megapixels and to be honest,even though this camera is 13 years old, i think the photo quality actually holds upvery well even by todayâ€™s standards. and actually i've said this for years, i think 3 megapixels is really the limit to good photos.

this is my opinion, of course, but i think3 megapixels is roughly the threshold where itâ€™s really good enough for most uses, especiallywhen viewed on a computer, and i think adding more megapixels beyond that, you get kindof diminishing returns. you have to add a whole let extra to reallybe able to notice any difference. and, a lot of the cheap cameras, especiallythe ones with plastic lenses, they canâ€™t even resolve more than about 3 megapixelsinto focus on the imager. so iâ€™ve seen cameras before that have 10megapixel imagers but you really canâ€™t see any difference in detail between 3 and 10megapixel settings on that camera. this camera also has a 3x optical zoom.

so i could use this as an everyday camerafor both work and play, that is if i didnâ€™t mind waiting for it to write those imagesto cd. and, of course, it does have video clip capability,it does 640 by 480 but the image is very soft and the frame rate is pretty low, but it isthe best video quality of the 4 cameras iâ€™ve shown today. ok, so iâ€™ve got to open this old box ofkodak disc film. look! the expiration date was in 1990. wow, i havenâ€™t opened one of these in along time. i donâ€™t even think you can get these developedanymore.

well, there you go. thereâ€™s an old kodak disk cartridge. ok, so which of these 4 cameras is my favorite? you might assume that i would immediatelyjump on this one, because it is after all the best and most advanced camera of thisgroup. and if for some reason i was forced to useone of these cameras as my daily work and pleasure camera, well, this would be the onei would naturally pick. however, to be honest, i have no reason todo that, because i can just use my good, modern cameras or even my cell phone for that matter.

so, my actually, my favorite is the originalsony mavica fd7, because it is the most, i think, collectible. itâ€™s the oldest and itâ€™s got the mostunique qualities to it. speaking of collectibility, i only paid $15for this on ebay. in fact, i didnâ€™t pay more than $15 forany of these cameras. there seems to be quite a few of them around,with the exception of the panasonic superdisk camera; this one was hard to find. but it still didnâ€™t cost very much wheni did find one. but the other cameras, the mavicas, they justmade so many of them, they are really easy to find.

i think theyâ€™ll be good collectible camerasin the future. well, i hope you enjoyed this and as always,stick around because i've got more stuff coming up! # music # # blooper reel # alright, so this is my friend brandon, whoruns aâ€¦.*laughing wheeze* never actually originally owned a mavica, iâ€™m onlykind of...ahhhâ€¦. in the 1990s, um, i thought... ah... i need a blooper roll on this one.

very few danes boast the title frogman. admission requirements for frogman corps are tough. the idea is to make the best special operations force soldiers. navy's special operations force was set up in 1957 - - and since then only 311 danes escaped through the eye of the needle - - and have completed the training. 90% of it's psyche, 10% is the physical. for one year, dr been allowed to follow a certain number of students in their struggle - - to get through the demanding training -

- to make them denmark's best-trained soldiers ... it's about will. ... and frogmen, which is inserted in the world. i've been in situations where it was close to - - but behind me sitting there ten colleagues - - and get into trouble, covering one's ass. the missions are usually conducted from the sea with a view to combating terrorism - - or pirates gather information about the enemy - - or to help politiets aktionsstyrke on assignments in denmark.

it is prepared for the worst. dr has been permitted to follow life as a diver behind the gate in kongsã¸re. - a life that is about brotherhood. - we depend on each other. a family that is hard to get into and easy to fall off. the few who have the will to get through, will always be 'frogs'. every year, young men from all over denmark into the frogman corps. this year, 169 applied, of which 70 have been selected to participate - - in the five days long audition. here they show whether they have physical fitness and willpower -

- required to implement and be selected for drama school. from now on, the frogman corps, taking you through the next day. for aspirants is the period up to the test passed with intense workouts - - to make it through the sample many physical challenges. it is so that they can opt out exactly when you want it. they enter just to the side - - contacts a director, and he will make sure your departure. should you be taken from, we will not hear any cry - - of any kind. by annoyance or something.

so to travel up and placing itself above in the green field behind you - - with back herudmod and looking into the wall. there are recorded annually up to 20 students in the program - - and after nine months of apprenticeship is only 6:00 to 7:00 students frogmen. the unusual frogman corps is that all - - regardless of background can apply. no military experience is required. i am 26 years old - - and have taken a carpenter training and been a carpenter for some years. i have never been on any great adventure or nothing -

- or done anything all alone. it has always been common charter holiday fun. what it requires primarily, is the will. if you have the will, you can get all the way regardless of physical stamina. how is it built, how fast you run, how strong you are - - how do you like? it does not mean anything. it is the will. 11 warning. during the process, a number of pre-selection tests - - and if the aspirant fails just one, is consistency -

- the immediate removal of the entrance examination. stop. participants get very few breaks and pressed constantly physically - - to test their strength and their ability to keep a cool head. graduates frogmen follow them in all the five days of the test. i do not know if you understand it, so i ask again. when i say max test, you run the max? and. it's the last time at all -

- as long as they are inside the frogman corps testing - - that i ever see you again save you. is that clear? i had prepared well, compared to what i thought - - but i had no benchmark. one could read in brochures that there are some known requirements one must meet - - but all that lay between, such as how much you have in your backpack - - what clothes you wear and how they talk to - - and so that the closest run these marches, feel man. the back was fucking heavy, and it was in military boots and wool socks -

- and then jumps just blisters of the feet. applicants have now been going on for seven hours. 70 started, 18 have fallen from 52 remaining. prior awaits a 15 km-long march with 20 kg pack at a brisk pace. as a trained commando employed by the frogman corps - - it must always be ready to perform many kinds of tasks - - on land and at sea in both home and abroad. therefore, coach all patrols regularly their skills - - and the different scenarios that may occur at a sharp mission.

patrols consists of nine men with a mixture of new and tanned frã¸mã¦nd. on bornholm makes the two squads alpha and bravo ready for three days of training. i come from a suburb of copenhagen. there i grew up - - until i left my home and went in the army. when i remember further back, my grandmother - - i was at home with quite often, a giant painting of a shipwreck. when i see this ship, where the mast is broken - - and some seafarers are on the ship and heading into the surf - - which is a potent burning with waves that is such a very ...

... aggressively over the coast and the wave, there is a black hole. there are entirely black. i looked in and thought, "what's in there?" that's why the clutch to search into the unknown ... either you will be frightened and will never approach - - and otherwise you curious enough to see what it is. when we train, we do it as close to reality as possible - - that we are well prepared when we are in such a situation - - and to risk our lives and limbs out. so you have to have something to fall back on.

therefore, we also do our training as real as possible. this exercise is to come from the water onto the land - - be subjected to an ambush and escape again. the exercise takes place with live ammunition. if we do not train on exercises - - so we had no basis to be broadcast on. we must train our procedures. it is our working to train it. if we are to be removed, then we could. a long evening and night walking through a forest on zealand is over.

it started 70, 28 has dropped from 42 back. now aspirants started with 15 km race at high speed. my name is adam, and i grew up in farum north of copenhagen. i never really found anything that i felt was a place - - i fit into job- related issues. i have tried a lot of different things, but i have always sought higher. i am always tired of it was boring. i have not felt challenged enough. i have always had a small dream to come in and be elite soldier.

three more students drop out the race. here it is more about having a family - - because i have not so much in denmark, and have built it together. i like to have some, i stand behind - - and also behind me, and i will do much. i could tell from the start that i have an accumulation of fluid in his right knee - - but beyond that it went fine. i have let go of everything and has virtually nothing - - so i do not have another option. i dropped everything else, of course.

there is only one way and that is to keep going - - and then i take it as it comes. i am superskuffet. i must say. it is like reading an open book when you look at people running patterns and look - - if they save themselves. it must be improved if they do you hope to achieve through this week - - not to talk about apprenticeship. there we look at it every minute, every hour, every day - - eight months in a row and i do not stand with this reminder.

there's just a consequence. the next thing to happen is that you need a little confidence test. a dot and connectors test. if you do not stick you, then it is equal to departure. the syringe out. you take the salt water and pulls 2ml out. make sure that there is no air in. they stick in perpendicular to that in which you sprittet of. a little further down. yes. pull back.

will there be blood? - no, not as far as i can see. - well. so i inject. well. out of it and into the container. about ten minutes are you aware the same place as yesterday. is there anyone who wishes to opt out? - no. - yes? 33 they come up here. just step over. applicants have now been running for 30 hours, and there is a high dropout rate.

only 26 of the 70 starting left. 44 has fallen from. the next challenge is a 15 km march with full packs. after a day or so, i began to notice the flaws in the legs. it began to stretch down through one leg. it was the same leg during the whole week - - and starting already to form some thought - - it's crap now to feel perhaps a hamstring - - or something. but continuing and thinking ahead, and then it goes a little off sometimes.

it's a game, driving inside the head of itself. it must be the will power. we talk with some different and says: "it is running. we'll make it." and people give us the right, and then they stopped in a row. it was a bit shocking that people can stand it one minute and say: "i'm fine." and two minutes after they have been inside to opt out. when you put the backpack, so do not throw it in the water. put it properly, walk up to the car, get something to eat and look at your feet. right foot is fine, the left is the shit.

fuck. it's also just the best lighting we've got. the first time it feels as if it is burning. as if it sticks into a - - and if you keep getting some uncomfortable socket. so i felt that there was something that jumped. it just helped. but it was not pleasant. when skin loses the blisters, it is not so nice. in the beginning you can also just use some of that pain.

it gives me a little drive. but when it is so long, you have to go, it gets a little ... now we must see if it helps. i was part of task force k-bar back in afghanistan for 02 - - and then came the iraq afterwards. so i have been in syria - - and afghanistan has become four times. so yes, it has been my field of work - - the last ... 13-14 years, right? it has been.

the biggest milestone was the world trade center - - where denmark chose to have an active role in an external mission - - and not just defended denmark. we grew up in the 80s in the cold war scenario - - that if the threat came from russia, and the iron curtain toppled over denmark - - so we knew we were doing there. it was so markedly different in three months. suddenly you sent, and then there is a risk associated with it. how has it been since then.

as a diver you should be able to operate at night and pasted from the sea - - in all the operations. today's training on the island is now repeated in the dark. there is at frogman corps a build-up of capacity for - - to solve some tasks that no one else can solve within the area - - where we have been given the task: maritime special operations. we train selected people in a very special way and make sure - - that they have specific skills, completing assignments with them. what then takes place concrete, we sometimes interest in telling - - and sometimes not.

the motivation for training is - - you know that this can be sharply one day. it is just around the corner, so it's not ... it is very easy to relate to - - that maybe in a month you stand and have to do it here. it was day three of the aspirants. during the night, three more fell from, so there are now 23 back. for stressing them and see how they tackle them not to have control - - gets none of the aspirants to know what trials lie ahead -

- when they get a rest, and when there is food. it was my good foot, it's here and it is also beginning to irritate now. so... i'm not from. i do not think any of them say from - - unless they get an injury. we are so far along now. it is again the will. now we run just on and shuts down. i just focus on stepping right - - and to join up as we move occurred, for example. i see it is okay. it will be ok.

i am probably not alone in having little sore legs or feet. it's just to keep the last out here. i can start to stand and just get off the shoulders around. - not too vigorously, 35. - no, no. no, i can see that. so the other way. so you can feel that it runs a little better. well. bã¥dformã¦ndene gives the command, when i have given it to them. fat boat. remember real lifting techniques. boat on the shoulder.

boat on the head. low lead. boat on the shoulder. boat on the head. boat on the shoulder. low lead. rubber boat is standard equipment in the frogman corps - - and applicants have to bear the 5 km through rugged terrain. it was one big pain hell to go through. really. you just continue to fall on. it was really shit. it was just shit, shit, shit.

i just need to survive. fucking. i do not go out because of it. it will feel like i fucking do not. they are constantly evaluated on their ability to handle stress - - big physical pressure and the ability to be part of a group. now blisters somewhere else. now it is about the knee. now i can not feel the blisters. if the knee collapses, i am finished. let me put it this way. mentally i continue. my body's fine. it's just right knee.

i'll handle it. 3, come. despite continuing blemishes sample. applicants are constantly being followed closely by frogmen to see - - if they have the willingness to give 100%. next challenge: 7 km race in terrain at high speed. after me. i ask you a reasonable simple task - - which is about to follow my pace in a distance -

- an arm's length from each other. is it nuclear physics? it is not. some are probably thinking, "i have not trained enough. i do not have talent. "it's not at all about it. it's about one thing, and that is the will to want it here. i doubt that you have, since you do not run along for the ride. from now on, when i say that you have to do a thing, do you it 100% - - i say that you should do it. understood? i am accustomed to withstand a lot. i have grown very fair sport. i have also taken a ironman last year -

- so i've tried a bit of everything. but ironman'en is nothing compared to this. as long as we can hold to drag on the dinghy, i'll survive - - until i die. now i see self-heating. bã¥dformã¦ndene working it. - bã¥dformã¦nd is the problem? - no. - so warms you up. - boat on the shoulder. boat on the head. boat in stride. down again. boat in stride. down again. boat on the shoulder.

the aspirants have been going on for nearly three days - - but they continue through the night and pressed further - - dinghy sailing and lack of sleep. until 4:40 in the morning, they can breathe out - - before they launch their test last part that they need to implement - - if they are to be among those who come to drama school. 50 has fallen from just 20 remain. put the boat. the smoking down.

sit up straight. this is part of the country ended. there is not any of you to cheer too loud. there will not be long before we start with the water part. - do you know what car you need to? - hey. what are you so here? i will probably not be able to walk the next two weeks because of the knee - - but the will has kept me through - - and this ... is just as important. recording sample land division is over. ahead awaits another day -

- the part which is called the water fraction, which takes place in the swimming pool area. 20 aspirants are now back. we start with a terrain orientation. the arrow up there is a north arrow. the white is hammerodde lighthouse. here we have the coastline. the countdown is standby. a neighborhood, tulle. standby. so i get 'five, four, three, two, one, execute, execute,' and smoking in on. we must not enter the house, we just need hands-on on the door. frogman corps last exercise on bornholm is in progress. for the patrols alpha and bravo applies to sneak unseen in the country -

- and up to the boiler door. it looks as though ensures each other and using the terrain well. at the bottom there is every indication that it is bad terrain. therefore we throw traps there. we are one of denmark's two special forces. it is to be expected - - that we can solve some specific tasks, and we intend to live up to. it may well be that it will take a year when there is a task. but it may come suddenly - - and then i and my colleagues do not say: "we can not solve.

we have not trained. "we must be ready at short notice - - and so are we. the operative frogmen are always standby at very short notice - - to be inserted at a sharp mission in both foreign and domestic. in 2013 asked politiets aktionsstyrke for assistance from the frogman corps - - then the job required maritime special skills. my superiors call me one night and says - - that there is a problem on the way. we were two men who came up here to kongsã¸re and made our boat ready.

we had just been told that we would be sailing to frederikshavn. we did so and was ready to participate in this operation - - with politiets aktionsstyrke. good evening. it was in ã…lbã¦k harbour, police swooped to - - when three norwegians were trying to smuggle 250 kg hashish on to norway. we are told it is drug smuggling. it is in the hard end. they are known to have weapons. so we make a plan - - how we easiest shadows them, follow them and keep an eye on - - how to catch them.

a policeman was badly injured, and a norwegian shot - - when the suspected marijuana smugglers tried to escape in a speedboat. the danish police goes on in there when he docks there - - but there happens that he backs out again. there are two man in the harbor also charged with the substance. it was january, we were in, but they jump in the water. he's pretty cool, drug smuggler, so he is waiting for them - - and take them on board, and so we are told on the radio - - that now he sticks by.

there he chooses so to put it pinned. when they come out of the port, they are probably a bit frightened. there is just a shade out there, and then there's so light on. so we sail in a circle around him and says that it is the police - - and that he should stop the boat. he sets sail. as he looks away, i sail up beside him and as close to - - i with the front of the boat, i sail can push his motor. as the speed boat gets out of the port, it will be rammed by frogman corps. two officers jump on board and then start a shootout.

they are three men over there. one is located down the slide, i gave up. he who controls are still clear. he will not be arrested, smuggler - - so in a fraction of a second he turns - - and hit the policeman. but the policeman is shot him. so i see that the one who pulls the gun fall. as soon as the first shot sounded - - so smoking one up a ladder and take the steps that are needed - - to escalate to the level you have to escalate.

one is always, i would say - - prepared for the worst. it is a force that we possess. we have worked together for many years and know well the hand gestures, eye - - and the level of speech, what we should do. we have attended to him, the policeman. then i take the wounded policeman into my boat and sailing to ã…lbã¦k - - that says a helicopter and spins to get him. we arrest all the people out there, and then we draw the boat into ã…lbã¦k harbour - - where the police take over from there.

the officer survives uden injury. the norwegian smuggler dies on site - - while the accomplices sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison. hash smuggling in ã…lbã¦k termed - - as one of denmark history's most spectacular smuggling cases. 70 started for the entrance examination, 20 are back. they are now entering the fourth day, water section, which determines - - whether they have what it takes to be admitted to drama school. at the bottom commence construction of fins and mask in that order. the mask emptied before providing ok, and it is also evidence for the climb.

thursday during the audition is like that, where we get tested - - whether they belong in the water. we continue the pressure that is put through the week. we have some aspirants at this time, which is fair tired. they have been going on for many hours. the body begins for many - - not to give up, but it's starting to be really tired. they are pressed at this time, and so we are pushing them extra. one of the cadets fainted under water. he took many deep breaths and hyper-ventilated just before his dive.

it can cause brain does not send the signal to your body - - that it lacks oxygen and it leads to losing consciousness. it is called "shallow water blackout '. but the divers and the doctor used to the situation and will come quickly. applicants who fainted is fresh again and ready to continue. the rest of the day and evening walks with various challenging samples. they are close to reaching the goal - - but a cross-sample must first be passed. one tutorial nightline. it is to test the stress tolerance -

- when they can not breathe. they can not do during nightline. we pulled into the swimming pool. a frogman takes us under his arm - - and then we get into the swimming pool. there are pitch-dark. so it was just to take three deep breaths - - and then dive after night-line. if they do not feel at home in the water, so we see it here. they started 20. now the 18 back - - and the water part, it is finished. it has been a tough week. the hardest thing i've ever tried.

but you probably can well expect that it will become even harder. now we have got a taste of it. recording sample last hurdle. nothing is certain. students are still missing frogmen 'assessment. now we do it, we call people in. you take your luggage inside. it is to the left of the door over there. then put in the luggage to the right when you come in, you sit on the chair - - which is free, and so we go through the reviews. if you get to know that you are suitable for student training, you come in here -

- and wait until everyone is through, and so i tell about frederikshavn. i think it hurts the people now if they will be sorted out. it would also make me. if you are declared not suitable now - - so you can not search zoom back in. like you've tried it before, when you were sitting in jonstrup - - i come straight to the conclusion, and then we move on. you go on from there. it is not finished yet. there are some small things that need to be clarified - - before i can send a final call out to drama school.

another has just been dismantled. still nothing certain. whew. so banks heart. - sit down in that chair. - thank you. as you know from the commission in jonstrup - - i will start with formalities, so we'll run the process. we have decided that you run on the course. - yes! where it is important. - well that's good. - it should also be happy. - i can guarantee that i am.

super. then you just focus. the next step in my world ... stop, stop, stop. adam, relax now. now it is over. something you must learn now is that it's fine to be thrilled - - but you must also be able to control it a little. now you could relax. it is important that you get things in here - - so you know what to do, what you need to work with, and so on. - congratulations on the. - thank you. - fuck, i'm happy. - so we must be damn frogmen. - not, that is reasonably long time. - yes, but we need to be.

169 applied - - 70 came to audition, but only 17 go on to drama school - - where the dream of becoming a navy seal continues. but when the program ends, only a small portion will be left as frogmen. hopefully we shall probably used to ... ... the danish people to feel more confident. essentially, it is probably what is the idea. yes, it looks damn strange. one gets a strained relationship with some who are trying to kill you.

looks fine? so close. - so you know what to do. - go on, or what? i am 100% sure that it is still the right decision. i do not regret all that i have signed off to be here today. pr.nr .: 92-151283 frogman corps 1 - ttv dvt / mho / dlo

we shall continue with the example that wehave been discussing last time; meanwhile, i could get useful information, which is adata source for indian locations - that is a http addresses given over here. i shall write it down, in case you cannotgo to this original documentâ€¦ hyphen s e c dot p d f. so, this has got one of the examplesthat you can see clearly on the screen; mean monthly global solar radiation on a horizontalsurface in mega joules per meter square a day, for selected locations of india, i haveshown here with something to bring in. this numbers you cannot read, but you can alwaysgo to the original source, and have a look at the data that is compiled by solar energycenter mnre indian metallurgical department.

so, this has got lots of contents which youcan have a can you focus on the screen. the sun solar radiation spectrum, and thevarious measuring instruments, and the locations where the measurements have been made andthe terminology and this is about twenty three locations that we have got, which basicallyhas got mean hourly ambient temperature and for each month, then the monthly global solarradiation and the monthly diffuse radiation, and given i have given here selected fromsrinagar which is more or less a high latitude location in india, upto trivandrum which isin down south kerala which is almost low latitude, which i have shown the latitudes here. srinagar has a latitude of 34 degrees 05 minutesnorth and of course, the corresponding longitudes

also are given over here. and whereas, trivandrumhas 8 degrees 28 minutes n. one of the ideas is not just i have taken or south, north,east, west and something middle, so that you will have a feel for the variation in thesolar radiation. if you look at trivandrum, this is the diffused radiation, this is theglobal radiation, the average is 19.45 mega joules per meter square day which is annualaverage, and it varies only between 17.38 which is a minimum i could see and goes upto 23.4 mega joules per meter square a day; that is if you statistically say that thestandard deviation is very low, and as you are going very near the equator the variationbetween january to december or their summer june to december is very small. like thatyou can make an interesting observation for

the remaining locations, and that is my ideaof showing it here. the corresponding diffuse solar radiationon horizontal surface is given; one of the idea says giving this data particularly toyou, is that you might verify the h d bar by h bar corelations for the indian locations,because this co relations were developed with mostly north american data. so, their applicabilityhas been tested, but now you have got a lot more data for the indian locations. so, youmight as well re establish or validate those corelations. so, these numbers may be usefulto us when we solve some examples for the indian locations. this was the example based upon f chart methodand a phi bar f chart method, we have been

discussing. it is at a location of latitude40 degrees n, a process heating system employing flat plate collectors facing south with aslope of 40 degrees, area 50 meter square has been installed. the collector parameters are f r u l is 2.63watts per meter square degree c, and f r tau alpha for normal; this we have done, but thisis for the sake of your continuity 0.72; and it is suppose to t minimum is 60 degree cand 12 kilo watt for 12 hours a day. of course, the other data ground reflectance is 0.2 forthe month of january h bar is 8.6 mega joules per meter square a day, and ambient temperatureis minus 5 degree c. so, this is the given data which we wanted to calculate.

what is the critical radiation level? this after a lot of preliminary calculationswe have calculated for, for example, mean declination for the month of january is minus20.9 degrees, at the end the sunset hour angle is 71.3degrees, in this case omega s dashalso will be 71.3 degrees, and we got the extra terrestrial horizontal monthly averagedaily radiation to be 14.4 mega joules per meter square day. and then the clearness indexk t bar is 0.6 - that is 8.6 upon 14.4; and the diffuse fraction h d bar by h bar we gotas 0.3 using co relation; then we got r b bar 2.32, i remember and r bar 1.91 right,all these calculations we have done in detail. and from this we proceeded to calculate rt, n, which is 0.178, once again this is a

co relation due to, and r d n is 0.164 thisis a relation due to liu and jordan; and remember that this is i t sorry i at the noon timeby h for the day or the monthly average day; this is i d by h d, in other words if youknow h d or h we can calculate i r i d. then in calculating r n we need h d by h that turned out to be 0.41,and similarly ultimately we got r n equal to 1.59. so, r bar upon r n is 1.91 by 1.59,which is about 1.20 r bar by r n is equal to 1.91 by 1.59. so, subsequently we estimated the criticalradiation level, which turned out to be 0.909 mega joules per meter square; this is fora hour. this is where i wanted to continue from here. so, this i c equal to 2.63 times60 minus minus 5 times 3600 upon 0.72 into

0.94 this 0.72 is f r tau alpha normal, butmy i c formula i need is f r tau alpha bar, which is f r tau alpha n multiplied by taualpha bar by tau alpha n. so, this is equal this tau alpha bar by tau alpha normal isequal to 0.94. i shall show the calculations for this, sothat we will have an exercise in calculating tau alpha bar also. so, if you look at itthis way the absorbed variation s barâ€¦ can you come here?fine fine. so, the absorbed radiation s bar is given by h bar r bar times tau alpha bar.so, this should be equal to the beam component h b bar r b bar tau alpha bar b plus the diffusedcomponentâ€¦ d times 1 plus cos beta by 2 plus h bar into ground reflectivity into taualpha for the ground reflected radiation times

1 minus cost beta by 2.so, what we want is, tau alpha bar by tau alpha n. so, i can divide throughout withthis that should be equal to if i write h b bar as h bar minus h d bar by h bar timesr b bar upon r bar times tau alpha bar b by tau alpha n plus h d bar upon h bar timestau alpha bar d 1 plus cos beta by 2 plus rho g tau alpha bar g by tau alpha n into1 minus cos beta by 2 times 1 upon r bar, here also 1 upon r bar. this we have done,but then i wanted to say that the number 0.94 simply written you should not wonder, howyou got it how we got it. so, this is and how do we calculate tau alphabar b upon tau alpha n is the effective transmittance of product for the direct variation for whichwe need theta b bar that is the effective

angle of incidence for the direct radiation,for which we have already demonstrated that there are charts. so, from the charts i havepicked up for phi is equal to 40 degrees beta is equal to 40 degrees month of january, andgamma is equal to 0, theta b bar is equal to 41 degrees, this is approximate, becausei added from the charts. and the effective angle of incidence for the ground reflectedradiation theta g is from the brand mule and bakeman co relation 90 minus 0.5788, all theserelations are there in your, in your lectures. so, you should not be looking surprised, wherefrom these things have come. so, this will turn out to be 73.148.now you see we got a theta g greater than 60 degrees calling for some relation for thetato be valid other than the ashtre relation,

which is valid for less than 60 degrees. similarlytheta d for the diffused radiation is 59.68 minus 0.1388 beta plus 0.001497 beta squarethis will turn out to be 56.52 degrees. so, this is within that asthre limit of 60 degrees. so, what we get now is each one of them, sotau alpha bar b by tau alpha n, which will turn out to be in the relation 1 plus b 0into 1 by cos theta minus 1. so, i made the calculations, the data is not given whetherit is a one glass cover or a two glass cover - collector, we will see what difference alsoit makes. if it is two glass covers, 1 minus 0.17 by 1 by cos 41 minus 1 which is 0.9445for two glass covers. and if it is a single glass cover, i use the constant incidenceangle modifier co efficient b zero as 0.11

minus upon one upon cos 41 minus 1 this turnout to be 0.96 this is for one glass cover. if you recall the tau alpha variation withtheta, one glass cover will be a cover up above the two glass covers curve. then similarlytau alpha bar diffuse by tau alpha normal also in the less than 60 degrees zone. so,i will have 1 minus 0.17 into one upon cos 56.62 minus 1 which is 0.86183 for two glasscovers, and this will be 1 minus 0.11 into 1 upon cos 56.62 minus 1 which is about 0.91again for one glass cover. so, for the ground reflected portion, so taualpha g tau alpha n, i will use the relation proposed at iit kharagpur two times 1 plusb 0 into cos theta; this is nothing but at theta is equal to pi by 2, this will be 0,and at theta is equal to 60, it coincides

with the previous relationship. so, if youdo this and you have point this is 2 into 1 minus 0.17 into cos 73.148. so, much ofaccuracy is not needed, because there are many approximations we have been doing, thiscomes out to be 0.48; and if it is that is for two glass covers; and if it is one glasscover you have got 2 into 1 minus 0.11 into cos 73.148 which is0.516 for one glass cover.so, just lets write it down tau alpha bar b upon tau alpha n this is one glass cover,this is two glass covers, which will be 0.96 and 0.9445 tau alpha bar d by tau alpha nfor 1 glass cover 0.91 and for two glass covers 0.86183, i think. and the last one of course, is tau alpha nextone - tau alpha bar g by tau alpha n for one

glass cover it is 0.48, for two glass coversit is 0.516. so, if i plug it in the relation that we have written tau alpha bar by taualpha n is equal to 1 minus h d bar by h bar into r b by r bar r b bar by r bar 1.91 times0.94475 for do two glass covers plus 0.3 that is h d bar by h bar into 1 plus cos beta by2 times 0.86183 by r bar 1.91. the third component will be rho g times 1 minus cos 40 by 2 intotau alpha bar ground reflect is 0.48 by 1.91. if you do this, you will get 0.9282. and ifyou replace this numbers, this is for two glass covers. so, this is about 0.93, whichis given as 0.94, but small difference may be due to the theta b bar. but if i do withone glass cover tau alpha bar by tau alpha n is 0.9485; what i have done is, i have replaced this 9447 with 96;and this when with 0.91 and this one with

0.516. so, it will be enhanced soon. the truthmay be between 95 and 93, the average is 0. so, since we do not have that data, but remember,we now got the detail of calculating the transmittance of product or the absorbed radiation for aday. so, as i was mentioning or emphasizing this 1 plus be 0 into 1 by cos theta minus1, the incidence angle modifier co efficient relation for tau alpha by alpha n in general,depending upon the theta that you use for the direct radiation or the diffused radiationor the ground reflect radiation, it will give you the appropriate tau alpha by tau alphanormal. so, we got this now the other thing was whatis the non dimensional critical level? that is x c bar is i c by your i t noon equal towhich we have already calculated as 0.909

by r t n 0.178 times r n into 8.6. so, thisis also in mega joules, and now this is also in mega joules, so there is no problem thisnon-dimensional critical level will be 0.37. we got the non dimensional critical level,we got the critical level. then second problem i am separating it out, what is the maximumutilizability? that is we want phi bar max; that is from cleans correlation exponentialto the power a plus b r n by r bar times x c bar plus c x c bar square and the constantsa 2.943 minus 9.271 k t bar plus 4.031 k t bar square which will come out to be minus1.17. b will be 4.345 plus 8.853 k t bar minus 3.602 k t bar squared equal to minus 0.33.of course, it is time taking and but yet i am preferring to write this relations as manytimes as possible, because when you solve

in the examination or when you want to solvethe problems, the relations will be at different places in the text book or if you compileall of them, there are certain differences like i d by i h d by h h d bar by h bar h0 h 0 bar. so, there are minor differences, but then a repetition of these things maygive you an idea that if you are calculating the monthly average delay utilizability, theconstants a b c are there, which are different from the constants a and b in the correlation.and you should also have some sort of an idea that these things are related and correlatedto clearness index for some reason, whereas a and b in co relation for r t are just geometricfactors. so, if you remember the little bit of physical basis behind these correlations,you will not pick up the wrong relation. so,

this is 306, i will have a little if i donot continuously talk this is 0.704. so, phi bar max we got it of course, you canplug in these numbers as 0.51. so, once again first thing is all preliminary r r bar r nh 0 bar k t bar h d bar by h bar i c and i t noon, then from that, the critical radiationlevel, we have calculated, then the non dimensional critical level, then the maximum utilizabilitycorresponding to t minimum, based on which we have calculated i c. so, that is the sequence.third part solar load fraction met by the system. so, we need the variables y, whichis a c f r tau alpha bar h t bar and number of days in the month by the load. the loadin this case will be 12 kilo watts; that means, 12000 watts for 12 hours multiplied by secondsmultiplied by 31 actually this comes out to

be 16.1 giga joules, if you divide this by10 to the power 9, you will have 16.1giga joules. so, y will be area is 50, f r taualpha normal is 0.72 multiplied by tau alpha bar by tau alpha normal 0.94, just now wehave calculated times r bar 1.91 times 8.6 into 10 to the power 6 joules multiplied by31 by this chunk 12000 into 2 into 3600 into 31, which will come to 1.07. remember y isof the order of 1 2 3, whereas x dash will be little larger. so phi bar max y, which in a way representsthe maximum possible solar load fraction that the system can meet will be 0.51 times 1.0equal to 0.55; in other words if anybody calculates and comes out with a number larger than thisobviously, there is a calculation mistake.

and the second variable x dashed is area multipliedby f r u l times just a scaling factor 100 multiplied by the number of days or numberseconds in the month by the chunk 12000 12 3600 times 31. please remember when the loadis given in joules or mega joules make the consistent units, if it is kilo watts forcertain time, you have to convert it to joules; that is power is drawn over a period of time,which makes it the energy; this will come out to be 2.19. storage is the standard storagewhich is 350 kilo joules per degrees; this directly does not come in the calculationexcept in the r s which is the ratio of standard storage; this is a actual storage, and inthis case, it is equal to unity. so, now, solar load fraction f by the phibar f chart correlation is phi bar max y minus

0.015 times e to the power 3.85 f minus 1times 1 minus e to the power minus 0.15 x dash times r s to the power 0.76. so, thisi will try to put all the number that we know, so that it will be easy to iterate later on,because this is an implicit relation 0.55 minus 0.015 times this is not known, becausef is not known, 3.85 f remains as these times 1 minus e to the power minus 0.15 into x dashed,which is 2.19 into 1. so, this is 0.55 minus 0.0042 e to the power 3.85 f minus 1.so, what i have done is, i have set myself up a table calculate lhs and then the rhs.so, i know phi bar max y is about the maximum solar load fraction, if you forget all theselosses part; this is basically a loss and this implicit relation indirectly expressesf again in terms of f. so, this f i know should

be less than 0.55 i s u need to be 0.52 rhswill come out to be 0.523 oh good good agreement. i tried with 0.53 i got 0.5218. so, it maybe 52 or 53. and if you want to see the efficacy, you may start with 0.4, then this will betoo large, then you have to bring it down. so, it is not as difficult as it looks like,when you have this long equation, it is only just if you have the calculator particularly,if you have a programmable calculator, even if you have no idea, except that it will benice if you have the idea that f will be less than this phi bar max y, and particularlyf should be less than 1, then the iteration is not a difficult thing, it does not takemore than five minutes. now, this is a the solar load fraction wehave calculated, as per the specifications

of the system meets 12 kilo watts 12 hoursa day for the month, and the collector parameters are given for one month january. then youcan calculate that f january to f december and then capital f will be sigma f i l i uponsigma l i; i do not have the number i will let you know tomorrow if you want, but thewhole thing is repetitive; and it is certainly not very easy for hand calculation for allthe 12 months. so, a small program can be written for this and you can make 12 calculationswith the power of the computers available now, practically quite fast. four solar loadfraction will try to calculate if tank losses are included right and given the area overallloss co efficient product of the tank is 5.9 watts for degree c, and environment or thesurrounding temperature we would call t a

dashed is at 20 degrees c. so, t minimum weknow is 60 degree c. so, i will assume as a first years for the tank temperature tobe 62, so first guess. so, roughly that is t minimum plus 2 degrees. so, with this assumed temperature of the tanklosses from the tank q t will be equal to 5.9 that is u a product times 62 minus 20times 3600 joules 24 times 31 number of days, so many joules, this comes to 0.7 giga joules.so, it is not too small. so, now, the system is supposed to meet the load inclusive ofthe tank loss. so, load on the system inclusive of tank losses, which will be 16.1 giga joules plus 0.7 that comes to 16.8 gigajoules. now, my phi bar max y is proportional to this original 5.1 times original y 1.07into 16.1 by 16.8 which is 0.53 phi bar max

y in naught subscript. similarly x dashed should be enhanced equalto 2.19 into 16.1 by 16.8 this is equal to 2.10. so, again f is phi bar max y minus 0.015times e to the power 3.85 f minus 1 times 1 minus e to the power minus 1 5 x dashedinto r s to the power 0.76. so, you write it f is now 0.53 minus 0.015 e to the power3.85 f minus 1 into 1 minus e to the power minus 1.15 sorry it should be minus 0.15 timesx dashed is 2.10 times r s to the power 0.76. so, i set up myself the same table, now iwill come out by iterative process f t l equal to 0.51. now, you remember this is the solar load fraction, where there iwill just call it the load fraction including tank loss; that is our notation. so, this we said there is an iterative processto set up the iterative process average utilizability

not the maximum, because this is sort of aoverall load fraction met by the solar energy system, which does not distinguish betweenthe load on the system as needed by the consumer as well as the load, because of the additionaltank losses to be met by the system. so, utilizability corresponding to this average utilizability,which we would just call it phi bar is that point phi 1 by 1.03 of t l by y; that is right;y is 1.03. so, this will be equal to 0.49. so, again i just wanted to make sure notehow we got this number 1.03. 1.03 is the original 1.07 into 16.1 by 16.8 original y multipliedby enhancement or depreciation factor, because of the tank loss.now this phi bar will turn out to be again we have got the you use a same constants equalto minus 1.17 and this is 0.49 already known

to us equal to e to the power a plus b r nby r bar, just be cautious, because everywhere else it is r bar by r n written; i do notknow in the text books and including i picked up same habit, but the relation is in termsof r n by r bar x c bar plus c x c bar square, where a is minus 1.17 and b is minus 0.3 andc is 0.704. so, r bar by r n again you see r bar by r n 1.2. so, if i plug it in everythingis known to me. so, x c bar i back calculate it should turn out to be 0.37. so, this isan equation set up to calculate x c bar. so, this is caused by a certain temperature difference. so, i will not go about the roundabout wayx c bar straight forward equal to 0.37 equal to 2.63 into that suggested average inlettemperature minus t a times time unit tau

alpha normal into point tau alpha bar by taualpha n; this is whole thing is i c by i t noon r t n r n times 8.6 into 10 to the power6 to make it joules. so, my t i bar minus t a equal to 68.5degrees. so, t i bar is 68.5remember t as a minus 5. so, it becomes plus 5 over here minus 5 is 63.5 degrees. so, suggestedso average 63,.5 plus 60 this is the minimum; this is the possible value comes to 61.7 closeto the guess 1 equal to 62. if you are not satisfied, you could start with 61.7 and youdo the calculation you may come out with 61.8. so, that is the f t n we got and f the solarload fraction will be f t l times 1 plus q t by l minus q t by l that formula we havegot which will be equal to 0.51 into 1 plus 0.7 by 16.1 minus 0.7 by 16.1, which willbe equal to 0.49. remember here this is the

original load on the system. this is the originalload on the system, because we defined f t l as q s plus q tank by l plus q tank. so,that we divided throughout with l the load on the system. so, in this formula it is importantto remember this is 16.1 not the 16.8 which included the tank losses. so, f again is wegot 0.49, which essentially means f reduced from 0.53 to 0.49 about 0.04 in 0.5 that isapproximately 8 percent reduction. so, tank losses will reduce the solar load fractionby about 8 percent, but that can significantly depend upon the minimum temperature at whichenergy delivery is needed. in the case of f chart it is a single unit, so the correlationtakes care of the losses etcetera in the case phi bar f chart instead of 60, if you havegot 80, it would have been much higher number

than 8 percent.so, this as we have said right from the beginning the once again to repeat and to make you understandthe logic behind it we estimate the tank loss assuming a tank temperature, we treat thetank process as a part of the load recalculate the coordinates, i mean variables x dashedand y; and use it to the phi bar f chart method to find out the load fraction. that load fractionis the, so called load fraction inclusive of the tank losses; whether the guess temperatureis correct or not, is found out by obtaining what we call the average utilizability, whichcorresponds to some sort of an average x c bar, which should have been correspondingto a average inlet temperature to the collector. so, we suggested possibilities being t minimumequal to 60 or whatever, and this t i bar

we take the average; and if this average isclose to the guess that we made in the beginning, then we will stop the iteration, otherwiseyou take the new value that is obtained and go through the procedure again. so, this howthe tank losses can be taken care of; next time we shall find out the effect of the heatexchanger, and then the effect of the heat exchanger plus tank losses; until then bye.

[music] consuelo mack: this week on wealthtrack, maverickbond investor stephen smith studies countries and currencies around the world to find bondsworth investing in. what's he collecting now for his top performing brandywine global opportunitiesbond fund? a wealthtrack exclusive with great investor stephen smith is next on consuelomack wealthtrack. sponsor: new york life along with mainstaysfamily of mutual funds, offers investment and retirement solutions so you can help yourclients "keep good going." sponsor: additional funding provided by:loomis-sayles - investors seeking the exceptional opportunities globally.the wintergreen fund - your home for global

value. hello and welcome to this edition of wealthtrack,i'm consuelo mack. how worried are you about the bonds in your portfolio? if you have beenlistening to many of our wealthtrack guests, you are probably very concerned. several ofour recent great investor guests have called the bond market extremely dangerous and risky.after a thirty plus year bull market in bonds, they see little upside and plenty of downsidepotential. of course they are mostly referring to the u.s. bond market, u.s. treasury securitiesin particular, which have already seen signs of weakness. but this week's guest has a different approach.he runs a top performing global bond fund

and he says there are plenty of opportunitiesin the fixed income world, especially outside of the u.s.he is stephen smith, long time lead co-portfolio manager of the five star rated brandywineglobal opportunities bond fund, which has delivered stock market like returns over theyears as exemplified by its performance over the last three and five year periods and sinceinception. as smith points out, the advantages of going global have been and are enormous.if you thought u.s. treasuries have had a good run over the last ten years with theirnearly 5% annualized total return, consider australia's 12% returns, or canada's 9.7%,or poland's 9% or sweden's nearly 8% performance. it turns out among nearly 20 government orsovereign debt markets, the u.s. was toward

the back of the performance pack. another benefit of going global? the improvingcredit quality among developing markets. twenty years ago, only 2% of emerging market sovereigndebt was rated investment grade- that means with bond ratings of triple-b or higher- fromthe ratings agencies. the rest were not. fast forward to now: 60% of emerging market governmentdebt is rated investment grade. only 40% is not. bonds of chile, china, malaysia and polandrival those of the u.s. and other developed markets. so where is stephen smith findingvalue in global bond markets now? he says it all begins with the story of the market.i asked him why that is so important for him to understand as an investor.

stephen smith: well, i think it's really importantthat you have some kind of a context or framework for your strategy. and in the last numberof years, you could have written a book about this year of living dangerously. you couldhave written it after lehman brothers, you could have written it in 2009, '10, '11, '12.and i'm not just saying that tongue in cheek but we've had, you know, the greece, greecewent bankrupt; you have the european malaise. you had a nuclear meltdown in the third largesteconomy in the world, in japan. you had to deal with the sequestration. so how do you,actually, as an individual, take all this in and... you know, it would almost be exhausting. consuelo mack: right.

stephen smith: and so what we did is, firstof all, when you just look at the environment, i didn't know-- probably like most other people--after, which i thought was the worst policy error in 80 years, lehman brothers, leavingthem go, if we were going to have a depression or not. and so what you needed is a frameworkto say, okay, we are not. and what happened is the third week in february of 2009, bernankehad this expression of will, he put a stake in the ground and he said, "i'm going to guaranteeall the bank commercial paper, cds, and any corporation that wants to issue commercialpaper, we'll guarantee it for three years." now, the bears may have taken that and theymay still be bearish, but you could say that was a tremendous expression of will, and ijust say look in the rearview mirror, the

rest is history. and so with that we had afinancial crisis. and the financial crisis was twofold. one, we had a misallocation ofresources to the real estate sector. consuelo mack: right, all those housing loans. stephen smith: and then secondly, we had amisallocation of resources to big government. and so the way you get out of the real estatecrisis is you don't build more houses, and the way you get out of a crisis of big government,is you don't actually increase taxes. and so when you just go look at that context,one of the issues you had is very simply this: what was the real estate crisis? and thisis extremely important. in 2008 the gdp was approximately, you know $12 and three-quartertrillion, and we lost $8.5 trillion in wealth.

and the average consumer was wed ... had alot of his wealth wed to real estate. consuelo mack: right. these areas, this is...these are paper losses. stephen smith: these are paper losses. stephen smith: and 28% of homeowners wereunderwater on their mortgages. so bernanke studied the recession, the depression of the1920s, and this was the framework. bernanke could not afford to have the banks or theus citizens continue to have deflation. and so he just set on a path, and his goal washe wanted asset prices up. now, you can sit and argue about qe1, qe2, qe3, we may haveqe6- but at the end of the day, was he successful? and you just look at it from 2006 'til today,we've had two and three-quarter percent inflation.

and if you just go look at the storyline,the stock market, after that enormous hit, is now up over 125%, and now you've got realestate prices up, year over year, almost 11%. so we would argue that what he needed to dowas establish collateral, because if you can establish the collateral, you then createconfidence. so to me, i think bernanke has been extraordinarily successful. consuelo mack: so the story, when you lookback at the financial crisis on how everyone was really panicking, and even at brandywineglobal, i'm not saying you were panicking, but the opportunities fund had a rough year,right, in 2008? stephen smith: right.

consuelo mack: so... but you didn't... didyou recognize the story then, in fact, that there was a, you know, that bernanke had puta stake in the ground and that, in fact, that that was an essential part of the turn aroundand, therefore, we will invest accordingly? stephen smith: what we did with bernanke,had that expression of will, and you had corporate bonds yielding four or 500 basis points morethan treasuries, you had the australian dollar, a lot of the commodity currencies were down30%. we felt it was time that the information risk versus a price risk were wrong. and whatbernanke wanted was he wanted asset prices up, and he was going to do whatever it takes. now the interesting thing to me is, as thisthing moved forward, you then ended up in

a crisis in europe. and so what we've beenthinking about all along is leadership, that leadership matters. and so he provided theguiding light. consuelo mack: right. so what's the storynow, as far as the story of the market? and i know that a key question, and you just mentionedit was, you know, you're saying your key theme is, was ben bernanke successful? what if benbernanke is, in fact, successful? stephen smith: right. and it's hard to havejust one leader, but luckily draghi. consuelo mack: mario draghi, right. stephen smith: he graduated ahead of bernanke,mit, sort of out of the same cloth, really understands markets, understands what we need.so then we had another leadership position.

and then, lo and behold, we actually havea politician showing leadership. this abe decided to get out of 20 years of deflation. consuelo mack: right, prime minister of japan. stephen smith: and you can see, does it makea difference? i would say yes. and so a year ago, we started to ask the question, whathappens if ben bernanke is successful? consuelo mack: and being successful meanswhat? stephen smith: well, being successful meanswe have a self-sustaining economic advance. consuelo mack: okay. without very much inflation? consuelo mack: lower unemployment right.

stephen smith: right. so a self-sustainingeconomic advance means that the government can withdraw its stimulus, the economy createsenough jobs and the unemployment rate continues to fall, you don't have much inflation, andpeople develop a sense of confidence that we're not going to have a recession becausei would argue all along, because of economic policies, that this is about confidence. andso we just keep thinking, well if bernanke is successful, where is the misallocationof capital? and so when we look at the world, we would say u.s. treasuries, german bondsand gilts, which are supposedly the store value- and for people who don't know, giltsare british bonds- that those are the bonds which people think are safe havens that wethink have the most risk.

consuelo mack: so that's a misallocation ofcapital, for people to be investing in those government bonds in the u.s., the u.k. andgermany. that's the wrong place to be at this point. consuelo mack: if bernanke is successful,if in fact the economy recovers. okay. stephen smith: now you have to think aboutwhy are people doing it? well, if you actually, if you experienced 2008, and the market wentdown, what's been happening- which i find is absolutely fascinating and i try to talkto financial advisors about this- when i go and you look at the... since the recoverybegan in june of 2009, you go ask a panel of people who are investment people, and anywherebetween 25% and 37% of them say in the next

year there's going to be another tail riskevent. and basically what that means is another lehman brothers or another depression. consuelo mack: right, and this is supposedto happen once every 80 years, but they're saying now in the next year-- and these areprofessionals, right? stephen smith: these are professionals. sopeople are all worried about risk. and so they have the, you know, rich people say,"i don't want to lose my money." they see the state pension funds have 42% of theirmoney in bonds because they're just worried about risk. and so the question really onthe table is that if you've been spending the last five years worrying about risk, whathappens if bernanke is successful? and so

you just have to think, in other words, it'snot like reading the headlines today. consuelo mack: so what are the headlines goingto be in six to nine months? stephen smith: well, i think what's goingto happen is unemployment rate is going to continue to fall, housing prices are goingto continue to go up, the equity market is going to be okay, and just like in the lastyear, there has been, u.s. treasuries, last summer, had a double, in my opinion, a doubletop in prices, yields fell one basis point below where they were on december 18th, 2008,and interest rates are up in the treasury market by over 50 basis points. i would askyou this: does the world come to an end? no. is the equity market up? yes. are real estateprices up? yes. and actually, even the question,

is the consumer actually going into debt andborrowing? he's still not doing that. and so things are getting better. what's happeningin the corporate sector may change its mind, individuals may change their mind for riskappetite. and then that would just mean that bernanke is going to have less and less of,you know, he's going to have less and less conviction about buying $85 billion worthof treasuries or agency paper, you know, every month. consuelo mack: so the story really is fundamentallychanging, so we've gone from a risk averse market to a, to one that is basically rewardingrisk taking, and you think that's going to continue. so, therefore, how do you investin an environment like that as a bond investor?

stephen smith: okay. well, as a bond investor,a couple of years ago, one of the reasons we've been very fortunate is we had a lotof like long bonds, duration was, you know, over eighty years. in other words we had abond portfolio with, you know, 20 year average maturity or more. and now we've cut that durationin half. and the reason we've done it is because of this worry about success. to me it's likethe natural order of things. if bernanke is successful, would anybody in the listeningaudience be surprised if t bills went from zero to one percent? i don't think so. notif the employment rate is coming down, the housing market is doing well and, you know,you are actually creating jobs. now, the reason we have a better shot at this is if you thinkabout, when i mentioned about a politician

abe, he finally said enough is enough, it'sthe third largest economy in the world, they want to have growth. stephen smith: and so at the margin that'sgoing to make a difference. you think about europe. europe has been in a recession. andeven somebody in kindergarten would have known why did they go into recession? when you thinkabout 2011, trichet was chairman of the central bank, and what was he doing? consuelo mack: tightening. stephen smith: tightening. raising interestrates. what's that do? slow the economy down. secondarily, when berlusconi was in office,out of office, and they finally threw him

out, they brought a technocrat in. now, wehave studied this historically, it's just that the press, and most people don't believethis, but if you cut government spending-- we did the re-sorts on canada in '95, swedenin '93, spain in '77, there was nine instances of this after world war ii- there's no correctivemethod, but generally speaking it should be $9 in government spending cuts to $1 in taxincreases. so not only did they raise rates, but what italy did is they did $8 in tax increasesto $2 in spending cuts. consuelo mack: so, therefore, you knew, infact, that europe would be in a recession and it would for a fairly long time? stephen smith: what would you expect? absolutely.and the fascinating thing-- and that's why

this business is an art-- is that when youraise interest rates they lead with a lag, which basically means that when you raiseinterest rates it's going to affect the economy with a long lag. and so what happened is draghihad to put up with the after effects of his poor policy. but now we're at the point where,as an investor, you can say europe is-- last summer was very, very, very bad. and now itmight just be very bad. and maybe a couple of weeks, months from now, it might just bebad. but when you move from very bad to bad, less bad is actually good, and that's whythe equity markets have been going up, that's why interest rates have been coming down.and when you just think of the word trust, it's really important. draghi hasn't evendone anything except he did the same thing

that bernanke is. last summer he had an expressionof will and he put a stake in the ground, he said the euro is here to stay. stephen smith: and the rest, again, is history.and i would argue the bears have been fighting it. i could sit here and give you a greatbearish story, but i just look at it. we have now come to the point, is that central banks,they're big, they're powerful and they can move markets. consuelo mack: so if the story of the marketsnow is that risk is going to pay, that economies are coming back, that things are improving,what do you do as a bond investor? and bring the global, your... the aspect of your globalinvestor into this as well, how important

being able to invest globally is too? stephen smith: well this is extraordinarilyimportant. but you have to understand i have a bias because i've been doing this most ofmy life. and the reason global is so important is that every country is in a different pointin the business cycle; like the u.s. has been struggling to grow, whereas you do have somecountries like turkey, russia, mexico, and even the last year, this country, some ofthem been growing four, four and a half, five percent. and so they are at a different pointin their business cycle relative to where the u.s. is. and the reason this is importantis that if you just look at a country like you would a corporation.

consuelo mack: so your largest weightings,basically, are in mexico? stephen smith: mexico is our largest weight. consuelo mack: and so why is that? why mexico? stephen smith: well if you think back, saysix months ago, i could have the choice of buying a bond here with a two percent handlefor 30 years, or i could buy a bond in mexico with seven percent. and you think, well, isthat a risky investment? their inflation rate and our inflation rate are exactly the same.their debt as a percent of gdp is around 41%. ours is 82... a little over 80% and the presidentdoesn't feel that we have a spending problem. not only that we have a big trade deficit.they're basically running a very, very marginal

trade surplus. and their economy the lasttwo years has been growing between three and a half and four and a half percent. they hada change in the political party there and so, there's again, leadership matters. they'redoing a lot of supply side things that i think are going to invigorate the economy. so iwould just ask somebody, why would you not want to own a mexican bond with yields twoand a half more times than a u.s. treasury? consuelo mack: because of the political risk.because of, you know, what you... they're still an impoverished company, because ofthe drug cartels and the drug wars. all of those things, they matter too, so how do youfigure that into the equation? stephen smith: there is no question underthe calderon administration there was 58,000

people, you know, killed in the drug cartel. consuelo mack: yes, right. stephen smith: and it's in a very, you know,they're in areas that are away from where the manufacturing sector are. consuelo mack: so the economy was not affected? stephen smith: so the economy is not beingaffected by it. and so you just go look at it from the standpoint of their wages areabout $3.50; wages like, there like here, haven't gone up for almost a decade. they'renow competitive with china. ten percent of all the cars in the world are actually builtin mexico, so they moved up the chain. and

what's more important, consuelo, is that theirshort-term interest rates are three and three quarters percent. they actually have a yieldcurve. they, they don't, they have not had to manipulate the... they have not had tomanipulate interest rates to zero to sustain their economy. and so as a global bond investori could look at brazil, where short rates are seven percent. i can go into australiawhere short rates are two and three quarters; poland three and a half percent. so aroundthe world there are a lot of countries that haven't had the real estate crisis, haven'thad what we had. consuelo mack: so what do we do for our oneinvestment for a long-term diverse fund portfolio? what is it, the one thing with this new storyof growth, what's the one thing we should

be investing in? stephen smith: well, having done this for,i hate to say, over four decades, i had actually thought, about a year or so ago, that thenatural order of things, is all of our portfolios are long only, and not that there's anythingwrong with that. but what we've been doing is we've been becoming more and more defensive.in other words, we've been selling- almost all our corporate bonds are sold, almost allof the treasuries are sold in what i would consider the store value markets. and we havebeen reducing risk, you know, raising cash in the anticipation that the markets are goingto go up. and so a lot of people would say, well, steve,that's not going to make me a lot of money.

but sometimes it pays to play defense ratherthan just offense because it might just pay to be patient and tap your toe. and so i'vebeen telling people that, you know, as a global bond manager, maybe the thing you might wantto consider is going with a strategy where you can short bond markets or, if you feelreally vitriolic about a currency, go short circuit currencies. and you know, as a wayto, you know, make money in a world of low interest rates and, particularly, if bernankeis successful and you basically, the world gets lifted and interest rates gradually movehigher. consuelo mack: and so looking around the globeas you do, are there any countries that stand out, for instance, that are going in the oppositedirection, that actually are... where interest

rates are going to go lower? or is this prettymuch a global phenomenon where interest rates are going to start rending higher? stephen smith: no. as, as inflation fallsthere are countries, as you say, i mean you can get seven percent rates in the front endof the russian t-bills. you can get seven percent rates in turkey. you can get sevenpercent interest rates in, in brazil. consuelo mack: and these are countries thatyou've invested in government bonds of those successfully. stephen smith: and you can get seven percentinterest rates in india. so, as you, say, reduce your risk in the u.s., the questionwould be, well, gee, are these really risky

investments? and i would just pose the oppositeside of that. if i buy a one-year t bill at seven and a half percent in each of thesefour countries, if nothing happens i get seven and a half percent. if i do it in the u.s.i get ten basis points. so i could even be slightly wrong in the currencies by one ortwo percent and still get a better return than a, than a ten-year or 20-year or 30-yeartreasury. and so it's all trying to look at what are the risk adjusted returns. and youcan actually end up having a fair amount of cash, 25, 30% of your portfolio, actuallyearning a handsome rate of return over and above, you know, what the inflation rate ishere in the u.s. consuelo mack: so that would lead me to askyou for one investment for a long-term diversified

portfolio is, maybe i should be investingin some of the government bonds of the countries that you mentioned, that have, that... shortterm, their short term interest rates that have much higher yields. stephen smith: right, because they're in adifferent ... trying to get the point is, they have, they're at a different point intheir business cycle than the u.s. is, and so by holistically looking around the worldyou can capture that. i mean so what we do is the world is our oyster and so you're justlooking at, if i have a dollar to invest, do i want to put two or three pennies in india?do i want to put two or three pennies in russia? do i want to put 15 pennies down in, you know,in mexico? do i want to take all my money

out of long treasuries, which we've done along time ago, because we don't think that they have value? and so this is just the wayyou manage money. and, you know, just like i said, started this about the year of livingdangerously, i mean i don't know what's going to happen in the next six months. i know there'sgoing to be a couple of crises and they will probably create opportunities if you actuallyhave, you know, cash on the sidelines waiting to take advantage of that. and so that's,that's basically what we do for a living. and over a long period of time, it has beena very, very successful investment strategy. consuelo mack: that it has. so stephen smith,thank you so much for joining us, from brandywine global opportunities fund, it is a treat tohave you on wealth track.

stephen smith: thank you, consuelo. consuelo mack: at the conclusion of everywealthtrack, we give you one suggestion to help you build and protect your wealth overthe long term. this week's action point is: think globally in your bond portfolio. wejust heard steve smith at brandywine explain how his ability to invest in the governmentbonds of foreign countries with improving finances, economies and currencies has enabledhim to outperform the markets and competitors over the years. we should certainly be takingadvantage of those fundamentals too. among morningstar's other favorites in theworld bond category are funds run by wealthtrack guests, including michael hasenstab's templetonglobal bond fund and david rolley's loomis

sayles global bond fund. given the dominantposition that heavily indebted countries have in traditional global bond indexes, this isone area i would recommend investing in an actively managed bond mutual fund. and speaking of the same, next week we aregoing to argue the active versus passive debate with two pros who are very familiar with bothstrategies: vanguard's daniel wallick will present the active side and gerstein fisher'sgregg fisher will weigh in on passive strategies. if you would like to watch this program again,please go to our website wealthtrack.com. premium subscribers can see future programs24 hours in advance, and additional interviews with wealthtrack guests are available in ourwealthtrack extra feature. and that concludes

who is this man? who are you? how did you get in? did you give anything to the guard? i have come from mumbai and i.. i don't care if you'vecome from mumbai or london. i don't meet anyone on sunday.- who is it, vilayati uncle? madam, this man has come from mumbai. greetings!- greetings!

i want to meet mr. prem.it's very important. tell me what it is.i'll tell him. because he doesn'tmeet anyone on sundays. i see. i wanted to givehim this letter. but this letter is only for him.very personal. don't worry. i'm his wife. greetings! i'm prakash dutt. mr. prem, you'll be astonishedto get my letter so suddenly. but prem, as they say a friendin need is a friend in deed.

that's why i remembered you today. if you get some time out of your busyschedule then please come. sneh. your name suits you aptly. come in! do you know what sneh means? i'm trying to know it.- that's no big deal. i'll tell you. i've told many. one minute.

sneh! sneh means love. where there are no relations. where there is no yearningto get someone. there is love andonly love. just love. what is sneh called ifsomeone makes it his own? what is it called? prem. bhavna, do you remember?

some years ago when i'd been tomumbai for the annual meeting.. ..i had met a beautiful girl. no.- sneh. who is sneh? the big business magnet!that's what you want to say, isn't it? no, these areall business terms. according to me sneh is anangel descending from heaven.. ..who has become a beautiful personby taking a human form on earth. wonderful!are you a businessman or a poet?

i'm a little bit of both. i do business by reciting poetryand i recite poetry for business. for instance,i've taken a loan from you. that too without any interest. i'll surely take the interest.that too 100%. 100%? have you lost it? you had told me yesterday thatyou won't take any interest. but i am taking it.

now you've to take it.that too 100%. why do you look worried? i don't want moneybut your friendship. friendship doesn't last if the frienddoesn't take 100% interest in it. and so we became friends. friends, my foot! youjust used each other. did you ever go to meet her?did you ever invite her here? if i were you, i would've invited herover or gone to her place. but you're still standinghere despite getting her letter.

i would've been in a planeright now if i were you. what are you looking at? i'm looking at these goldenglasses and that grey hair. it suits you aptly. beauty lies in the eyesof the beholder? my business has increased andso i try to show off. how are you?- how do i look? fantastic! mr. prem is absolutely right!

today you look like a flower.. ..that has bloomed withthe first drops of rain. i hope i don't castan evil eye on you. you go home with mr. prem.i'll get the luggage. i'm prakash dutt.- let's go. 'your smile was lovely.' 'where have you lost it?' 'this sadness and silence.where did you get these from?' 'there is no sadnessin silence anymore.'

'now that i have seen youagain my sadness has vanished.' 'but why are you so silent?' 'you used to smilelike a child constantly.' 'it came so naturally to you.' 'do you remember? ' 'we'd gone to the function on thehillside after only a few meetings.' 'it was not the season. but the clouds had still gathered.' 'you wanted to say something.i wanted to hear something.'

'i was thinkingabout something else.' 'you were sayingsomething else.' okay, tell me one thing. you are beautiful,young and rich. then why haven't you..- why haven't i found a life partner? isn't that it?- yes. you always playaround with words. look into my eyes andtell me romantically that.. ..it would be great if someonelike me came into your life.

my life would've been great. you know, you can'tsee it on my face. i do have wrinkles.everything is adulterated. by the way, i'm quite young. my wife says that. yes, i am a married man. when you meet her you will say..- fantastic! she has to be fantastic. after all, she is your choice.

your choice will also be fantastic. much better than me.mark my words. i'm looking at it. mychoice is fantastic. but i wish my luck was also fantastic. "hands up!" "hands up! johnny, hands up!" "hand over your heart." 'are you a lover or a policeman?' 'you are asking formy heart at gunpoint!'

"yes, you have tochange with times." "my heart doesn't belong to me." "how can i give it to you?" "i have given it to the owner." "please excuse me." "make no excuses.handover your heart." "don't you know this?lovers don't loot, they sacrifice." 'is that so?' "you don't get it if you ask for it."

"you can't even snatch someone's love." "if it's not in your fateyou won't get love." 'hey! it's really going super!' 'are you getting enough or not?come on!' 'everybody go!' 'it's lovely to see!' 'everybody on thesame wavelength.' 'why don't you get up and go?' 'come on everybody!'

'let's go!' morning!- good morning! coffee! thank you. whatever happened yesterday night. happened in a state of frenzy. but you know..- don't worry, prem. i won't try to break your marriagein order to make you mine. people don't get a few moments of love,despite being settled in life.

but i.. i've got an entire lifetime of lovefrom you in a few moments. listen.. ..i don't know ifwe'll ever meet again. but i'll miss youwhen i am alone. i'll miss you a lot. love your wife wheneveryou start missing me. sneh, have you been livingalone all these years? no. i could notlive alone, prem.

your memories were alwayswith me as my companion. hello.- hello, is it bhavna? who is this?- this is sneh from mumbai. sneh! how are you?- first class. and you?- fantastic. mr. prem has reached here safely.- i see. very good! thank you. bhavna, i should thank youfor sending prem here. i could not help it.the work was very important. i hope you don't mind.- no. what are you saying?

this should be between us.keep him there as long as you want. but send him when the work gets done. what if i don't send him back? saturday will be very hard to spend.- what? i mean i'll come there.- really? then i won't send him.i want to meet you. then do one thing.come over here. i can't promise i'll come there.but i promise i'll meet you. talk to prem.

hello your honor, how are you? fantastic. how are sunny and babli?- they are fine. they miss you a lot. they're taking tuitions downstairs. shall i call them?- no, let it be. listen, mehra will come home.give him some cash. okay.- and the telephone no is 570826. call me daily.- yes, i will. promise?- yes.

i miss you.- i miss you too! give my love to the kids. good night!- okay bye! bhavna must be very happy. sneh had got us connected. prem, who are sunny and babli? sunny is my son andbabli is my daughter. a son and a daughter. prem!

what if i tell you thatyou have two sons, not one? two sons?! your second son is with me. second son?! you might not believe me. but this is the truth. stop kidding! prem, this is not a joke.this is the truth. i wanted to keep..

..your memories alive forever.. ..hence i gave birth to him. staying within thelimits of social customs. you should've asked me.you should've at least informed me. what'll i tell the society?what'll people think of me? they will ask you whenthey come to know about it. prem, even bittu doesn'tknow that he is your son. what difference does that make?they'll come to know about it now. prem, i don't want you tolend your name to bittu.

i'm not asking you togive him any rights. he doesn't want anything.he has everything. i just wanted to introducehim to you. a mother had no other option,hence i called you here.. ..so that i fulfillthe duties of a mother. every son has the right to knowwho his father is. prem, i'm not asking for any rightfor bittu but a favor from you. the feeling that he too has a fatherwill make him complete. where is he?

mother! just once mother!let me meet my papa. hey mother! mother! mother! how come you are here, mother?- to meet you. you're really very careless. aunt shobha has askedyou not to move around. and you.. do you know who is here to meet you?- who is it?

do you know who he is? father! "strangers have met as if." "they know each other for years." "what is this feeling?which binds two strangers?" "it's a relationship of weak bonds." "i get unusual dreams in loneliness." "sometimes i feel really hurt." "he is really not mine."

"but i don't regret it." "this world of traditions and customs." "may not accept such relationships." "this is something new.how did this happen?" "nature, fate and love.what does it all mean?" how are you feeling now? where is bittu? yes, i will call him.but you try to rest. please sneh. relax yourself.

doctor aunty, mother? don't worry, my child.your mother is alright. go meet her.but don't bother her. good boy.- okay. mr. dutt, here's the prescription.send someone to get them. i'll get them myself. praise the almighty! doctor shobha, i hopeit's nothing serious. didn't sneh tell you anything?- no.

she is sufferingfrom gastric cancer. the tension which she had endured forso many years must have caused it. how can sneh have cancer? sneh is life itself. sneh!- listen! any type of excitement can beharmful for her. be careful. i am fine. thank you. believe me. i am fine. bittu, check whether uncle dutthas got the medicines or not.

uncle dutt is too much.i'll go check. you're still hiding it from me. you tolerated this painall these years alone. and you didn't even let mehave a whiff of it? your happiness did notbelong just to you. how could i snatch it from you? i wish you hadclaimed your love. i had gone away from you. but not far enough for you to thinkof me as a stranger.

i consider you to be my own hencei called you here. i have heard thatyou're going to america. going to america isjust an excuse, prem.. ..to keep bittu away from me. aren't youtaking bittu with you? no. he must get used to live alone. later on.. - no sneh.what are you saying? you'll be just fine.

no disease in thisworld is incurable. bittu will stay with me until then. i'll take him with me.- but.. the question of bittu's lifeis greater than ifs and buts. excuse me!its time for her medicines. moreover, she needs rest now. doctor has told her not to talk. how many drops did you give her?- i gave her enough. you gave it along withthe medicine, right? - yes.

this is a very strange type of poison. once it enters the blood,an operation would mean certain death. nothing can save her. sneh, be careful. don't worry. i'm fine. look after bittu.- madam, we'll take care of bittu. but you look after yourself. get well and come back for usand for this house. madam, rest assured.don't worry at all.

don't worry.- thank you. hail the lord! one minute. hail the lord! take this.this is the blessing of god. you'll be fine whenyou return from america. i've organized for a prayer ceremonyfor your good health. leave the rest to god. i feel like coming with you. but i can't help it. no one else hasthe knowledge of such a big business.

but i'll come there wheni get the opportunity. i just need theblessings of my elders. my blessings arealways with you. come on, i'll drop you to the airport.- there's no need for that. you've to attend the meetingwith the russian delegates. but it is also important to drop you..- no problem. mr. prem will drop me. come on, mother.father is waiting for us in the car. come on son.- come on, let's go. hail the lord! hail lord shiva!

don't worry about me.i'll manage everything. look after yourself. stress always aggravates diseases. and don't start crying ifyou start missing me there. bittu, what happened?- if you cry.. bittu.. bittu, your mother won't goif you cry. why are you threatening methat you won't go? you've to go there for me,not for you.

promise me.and i promise that i won't cry. you've to come back, mother. promise me, mother. i promise you that your motherwill surely come back. and she'll come back fit and fine. come on, smile. say bye to mother. 'god, i wish every child getsthis feeling of father's love'. 'i don't know what i should give youin return of your love.'

'i'll learn it from youif i live a bit longer.' "if i'm dying so slowly." "why aren't my tears flowing?" "time has come to a stand still." "i've been placed in a bad situation.why such injustice?" "how did this happen?" come son. this is our home.okay? c'mon! how are you, vilayati?- it's all your kindness. everything is fine?

how are you?- i am fine. do you know him? he stays in london, right? - he doesn'tstay in london. he stays in mumbai. it doesn't matter.its all the same. he is bittu. bittu from mumbai. my son. he is a good looking boy.- greetings! mrs. shrivastav! how are you?- i'm fine.

and mr. shrivastav?- he's fine too. meet my son. say hello, son. greetings! he is very loveable.- greetings! my boss is very kind. he is very fond of adopting sons. yes. these days,men have only two hobbies. to have many sons and many wives. father, now i shouldn'tcall you father, right?

you! - hello, your honor,what a surprise! what are you doing standing there? your husband has returned after a while.seek his blessings. no darling. i missed you a lot.- i missed you too. why did you take so many days to return?- but atleast i returned. don't be angry. come on hug me.let's make some plans for saturday. father! how are you?- sunny and babli! i'm fine. who missed me more? i did!- tell me! - i did!

okay tell me, did youguys go to school or not? no, not at all.they just had a blast. father, mother is lying. did you study?- yes. bittu come here. come, son. this is bittu. our son. sneh's son. bittu, this is sunny and this is babli.and this is. - aunty! didn't your mother come? - no,bittu came with me. he'll stay with us.

sunny, won't you show bittu his room?- yes, father. come brother. i'll show you your room.- listen, shall we have a saturday today? saw that? i am so unlucky. sneh must get wellsoon and come back. otherwise.. where is bittu's father? you didn't tell meanything about him. it would've been better if bittu stayedwith his father during these times.

that's why i've brought him here.- what? bhavna, its not necessary thatalong with mother's love every child.. ..gets the company of his father. but he can get love. we'll provide him the love of a fatherand also of a mother. we'll take his responsibilities untilsneh doesn't get well and come back. enough, aunty. look son, don't call me aunty.call me mother. - correct. just like how you listenedto your mother..

..you will also do what i tell you.- okay, aunty. don't call me aunty. call me mother.- okay mother. wow! now bittu has two mothers. our mother is his mother.and his mother is also his mother. so what?make bittu's mother your mother. then you will also have two mothers. oh my god! the blood clotting capacityhas been badly affected. doctor, i trust you knowwhat this means.

oh doctor! how can it be?! please doctor! do something! what can i do? i am helpless. doctor shobha, do you realizethat to have an operation.. ..under these circumstances willmean the death of your patient? and doctor, no operation alsomeans death. i cannot take the responsibilityand i will not. shobha.. ..are these tears a symbolof your defeat?

or because you feel sorry for me. if they are a symbol of your defeatthen you have still not lost. and if they are because you feel sorryfor me then i was never immortal. sneh, no one is immortal. but there is hope for life. a promise of tomorrow, a beliefthat you can raise your child. but.. ..why should we cry today for somethingthat might happen tomorrow? and then just breathing inand out is not life.

what if i loose my life,the melody will still be there. whenever someone will hum a song,it'll be my song. it'll be my voice. i promise that i'll come back. "strangers have met as if" "they've known each other for years." understood! the type of liquor that should be added.. ..doesn't depend on the wish of the glassbut on the wish of the your companion.

we are going on a longvacation to america. it's better if i handlesome of the pending cases. yes. mr. shrivastav also has a lawsuit. he turned out to bea cunning fellow. not only does he have a second womanbut also has a child with her. i know. men cross all limits andbetray their wives. it has become a trend now. come. sir, there is a call from america!

hello sneh. hello prem. this is sneh. how are you?- fantastic! how are you? was the operation successful? no.- what? but my life has become a success. every journey has ended. what are you saying, sneh? just a couple of moments more.

we'll meet again somewhere,sometime in heaven. sneh! do you wantto talk to bittu? please, don't get excited. call bittu.- i'll call him. sneh, bittu is coming. bhavnahas gone to call him. - bhavna! how is bhavna? she is..- fantastic. keep her that way. she isn't only prem's bhavna.but she's sneh's bhavna too.

and listen, send bittu back. do visit him sometimes. why are you worrying about him?- i'm only worried about him. i didn't have any rightto give birth to him.. ..when i didn't havethe time to raise him. my stubbornness andmy ego turned futile. bittu has still not come. bittu!- he's coming. - bittu! bittu!- mother.

my son. my bittu. my mother. your mother wants to talk to you. bittu. your mother has called up.hurry up. - mother's call! bittu is coming. bittu has come! bittu, mother.- hello.

hello mother! mother, how are you? i hope you're fine. what's the matter? you forgot your bittuafter going to the states. i sent you so many cassettesbut you didn't reply. and you've called upafter so many days. no problem.i too won't talk to you. not even when you ask me to talk.then you'll come to know. mother, are you taking it seriously?

is it possible for menot to talk to you? why aren't you talking?- hello! hello sneh! hello! sneh! hello!hello operator! hello operator! you are mistaken.my mother is fine. she's just asleep. look. she's just fine.she's asleep. sir, wait for a little while.she might wake up.

mother, open your eyes. wake up or they will cremate you. mother, wake up. mother! or they'll cremate you. mother, wake up. bittu, don't cry. god has taken your mother with him. bid farewell to her happily.don't cry. don't cry.- yes son.

your mother will neverwake up again. but she won't be able to sleepif you cry. wipe your tears.your mother lived only for your smile. her soul will cry if you cry. yes son. come. now perform the last rites. goodbye mother! in this world.. ..god, don't ever make sucha small child face such grief.

you can bid farewell to the body.. ..but the soul.. i wish bittu's father was hereto perform these rites. but she's so unlucky. what is this, daughter?she wasn't a married woman. she wasn't a married woman buther soul must have craved to get married. people say that ifa woman leaves this world.. ..dressed as a bride.. ..her soul rests in peace.

let her wrap herself in this color. she'll not get another chance. the soul not only needsthe bridal dress but also a husband. it needs a husbandwho can accept her as a wife. "this is ananonymous relationship." "what can we call it?" "for it the heart forgets the world." "it is a desire thatcannot be suppressed." "even the departed soul calls aloud."

bhavna.. bhavna, how do i explain to you that.. ..my relation with snehwas just a coincidence? and i didn't even know aboutbittu's existence. you think that i'm upset becauseyou had a relationship with sneh. and bittu is your son. i don't bear any grudgeagainst either bittu or sneh. i bear a grudge against myself. i'm upset with myself..

..for trusting you. yes.. ..i lied to you.i didn't tell you. but not becausei wanted to lie to you. i didn't tell youthe truth only because.. ..i didn't want to disturbthe peace in my house. i thought that sneh would get cured.. ..and this truth would fadewithout disturbing our lives. you can't hope to live in peace withthe help of lies but with trust.

you should've tried me onceand trusted me. i would've even acceptedyour second wife. but you've snatched away my pride.. ..and trust by hiding this factfrom me. now how can i believe.. ..that there isn't any other womenand child in your life? bhavna!- don't shout! it won't regain my lost trust. you can't regain the trustby suspecting me.

bhavna, try to understand. just think about it. if you and this house had not beenimportant for me.. ..i would've easily leftyou for sneh. i accept that she come between us.. ..but it was only anemotional relationship. i've been suffering alonefor so many years.. ..only for your love and this house. i didn't let you have evena whiff of it. and you..

and i thought thati knew about your feelings. but the truth is that you didn't let mecome too close to share your feelings. now i've started feeling as if.. ..sneh didn't come in between but.. ..i was the third personbetween you and sneh. and now it has become very.. ..difficult for me to live underone roof with this feeling. very difficult! hello!- hello!

sister-in-law, this is shrivastav.- yes. you know that my case will beheard today. so?- rukhmani has gone mad. she wants a divorce to satisfy herfalse ego and pride. she doesn't know thatmy house will be ruined. please sister-in-law,don't accept this divorce. so that the road becomes clearfor many more women. what? didn't you get it?- try to understand me. my house..

house! people like you shouldn't getthe right to have a family. understand! mother, won't you stayin this house now? everyone is saying thatyou'll divorce father. has father made a mistake? tell me, mother. tell me. child, you're still not old enoughto understand all this. mother, so are we old enough tostay alone without father and mother?

husband and wife have the right.. ..to do something thatwould ruin their children's lives. my able colleague is absolutely right. no one has the right toplay with children's lives. but mr. keshu shrivastav hasdone the same thing. if this true then it is also true.. ..that mr. keshu shrivastav neitherneglected the happiness of his family.. ..nor shirked the responsibilitiestoward his family. it is known fact that a person hasno control over emotions.

a person can go astrayand make mistakes. maybe that's why polygamyhas been allowed.. ..in order to save the societyfrom disgrace due to this weakness. mrs. thakur! the court doesn't wantto hear jokes but arguments. i believe that men like shrivastavcan't have a favourable argument. there might not be solid argumentsin favor of husbands like mr. shrivastav. but there is solid argument for thechildren of fathers like mr. shrivastav. therefore i would request youto give permission.. ..to question mrs. srivastav.

there is no need for it wheneverything is crystal clear. unnecessary questions.. - questionsregarding life are never unnecessary.. this case isn't only about2 individuals.. ..but also about innocent livesconnected to them. you can ask the questions. thank you very much, your honor. do you think that the affair will endonce you divorce him.. ..or will the child cease to exist? no mrs. shrivastav.

but on the contrary, your child who hasgot the name and love of his father.. ..would be incompletein spite of having everything. i object! if you want to object,object against this law of divorce.. ..that doesn't considerchildren's lives. object against the parents who wantto satisfy their false ego and pride. object against the husband and wife.. ..who give birth to a child togetherbut ruin its life by divorcing. your honor, divorce separatesthe husband and wife.

but the kids are shattered. but still this law of divorce doesn'task the innocent children.. ..as to what do they want. whether the kids wantthe divorce or not? 'mother, so are we old to live alonewithout mother and father.' mrs. shrivastav, look at your children. don't make another mistakedeliberately to compensate.. ..for the mistake thatwas made unknowingly. so think about it carefullyleaving your ego aside.

just think.if your husband hadn't loved you.. ..you would've realized it long ago. do you remember any day or nightwhen you didn't get your husband's love? if this was the case.. ..much earlier your husband would'vefiled a case for divorce, not you. and your indifference would'veruined your life. 'it's true that your husband has madea mistake that he shouldn't have made.' 'but that doesn't mean thatyou will make the same mistake.' 'the whole world can criticize you.but only your companion can support you'.

i don't want tohurt her anymore. but why don't youtry and understand? think about itcarefully and calmly. will sister-in-law like yourdecision of leaving.. ..the house without informing her? yes, i know. but there is no other way.- a way can be found if you want to. you can't always have it your way. otherwise all thiswould've never happened.

friend, this is my duty.i'll have to go. but think about bittu. he doesn't have anyonebesides you now. at least try to talkto sister-in-law about this. what should i tell her? that i'm going to leave bittuback to his home! do you think that she'll let him go? she'll never let him goin front of her. she'll suffer quietly but she won't tryto stop me from doing my duty.

she's my wife! she isn't only my companion,but she's my life. i can make a mistake, not her. i can make an error, not her. ratan, any ordinary woman.. ..would not have tolerated bittu evenfor a second after knowing the truth. she would've made everyone'slife miserable and walked away. but she's bhavna! prem's bhavna.

prem can make a mistakebut not prem's bhavna. aunt, you! so early. it's good that you've come home early.i got to meet you before going. yes aunt. i'm going tomy house in mumbai. shall i tell you something? sir doesn't have anyrelation with me. he isn't my father. and people laugh at childrenwho don't have fathers.

the way children used to laughat me in school. may be that's whyhe pitied me and became my father. he just wanted to make me happy.and i thought that it was true. children like me don't have a father. we are.. mother also used to saythe same thing. now mother is also. sorry. "those who never metbefore have united as if.."

"..they were companions forever." even gods could not have foundany fault in you in this life. but maybe because of somefault in your previous life.. ..you got a husband like me.

usually was with him so great home stadium the stars andthe snow on the lane look good to slow and me to list all this a lot because. it's also want to go every week has been goingraise probably regular. it is the best and it has the most from london the country and the dish is one of the mostenjoyable tracks to live when i was about eleven eleven to twelveand i took to it even at that tender i

live there's no one like in the world the crowdnoise the reaction of the social scene of an even number of a wonderfulnight. it's a wonderful atmosphere that you sentsimply nothing like it was simply the best you can imagine greyhound racing in london without will and it is sad. you know why. something could have been done to have keptit going on.

time for the base and everybody be upset focus on it for three years to raise a lot of money for charity not on a regular basis. we often would raise fifteen thousand pounds. it was a track to the biggest crowds of any of the stadiums in the u.k. this is the best one in the well this is thebest track in the it's not.

it is the number one in this country and it'sseen if you toss same guys in any business if your top tier dollars then you know fora lot of trouble and i've been one greyhound trackless in london. if you want to thank those if you like medon't go six but it's not like trying to get speed on the caliber of the phone but if you'relike my father that if your flight was the star it was almost certainly the most successful. i'm base growing and stadium in the world. it was to flagship for dr rice and in thiscountry. it was to with the star what the only fulltime is to paris mess entertainment used to

mean. soon the most don't. so was in dry hen ricing not anymore. what made more from start dogs such a fantasticnight out and the reason why celebrities flock to have their photos taken there is that ithad a great atmosphere. when the races were run the misfit was electric. you don't get that call and of electricitywould have video going to a. the study should have been celebrating theseventy fifth anniversary this year. the following reason for a knees up and abit of publicity.

in the i'll die used the charm to find mewho have run the stadium since the opening no into thirty three would not have missedthe opportunity. but granted rice and is not what it once wasin the made known to you folks used to dubs clocked up something like fifty million attendancesand there were seven to seven license tracks. lol she only three million attended the thirtytracks that remain the first now in a coffin was legal always betting in annoying to thesixties up to that point the only way to make it legal. but was to go to a trike. at first when it was made legal.

i would imagine. wholly restricted. then came late no one open as of bookmakersdirect competition with the stadium finally impressed worst of all there was the abolitionof the general basing duty in two thousand and one. general basic juicy text of course came cleannever a ploy to the bookmakers the text was abolished because british bookies said theywere being driven out of business bond into the game lose good places but on their homecomputer without having to play the tax the government swiftly to save the bookies butdime used to doctorates since there was no

benefit to actually go into the stadiums manyof the hippy punk to stop coming attendance was dropped greyhound racing was at its peakof popularity during the war time error and in terms of the marketing of the sport andthe pay all around the sport. it really hasn't evolved very much. since then and i think perception that it'sman coming down with applying the better and it's just not like the reality is that yousee generations of families you see young people out nights out there with them. so even at the nightclub attached to a childa chance which helped even more say attract a younger audience and you'd see dozens anddozens of people going to the greyhounds.

as a bit of a warm up to a guy going to theclub on an on a night out. i think the people that run it haven't keptup with modern times they need to for the good old days and development never move withthe twenty first century cannot fall of any out of play nice place on these free not tome not myself and i play in concentrating on i don't know i don't know much about ricein stock car racing. there's a sunday market though there are severalthings that i used to done. which they stopped doing because i alwaysthought everyone would always comes away from stuffbut you can't but you can't afford to be complacent. so there's no marketing there's no t.v. advertisementclose.

yes coverage they were never really my facility. if someone came in to rescue not need me nowfor a call for entertainment. should we say they never bother to go downthere make a big fuss of the corp write them back. so when you're doing that. you know you just got no chance of gettingthat return business. that's what's wrong that if greyhound racingis efforts to hold the decline in growing popularity it needs to introduce itself toa whole new generation who even aware of it all or have a complete misconception aboutthe reality of the sport and there's very

few sports where you can get so close to thetrack and soak up the atmosphere it's very accessible from a cost point of view you knowhow many places can you go out and for a tenner have something to eat something to drink placea few bets i mean it's cheaper than going to the cinema what we could see is punters ourselves asit's hypnotic once you've got through the door. you've seen it as a night out any preconceptionsthat you may have had a completely shattered and your real famine in africa and what wedid with all right and same just fifty sixty people all of a sudden these fifty sixty peoplestarted inviting their friends and clients

and telling everyone about it. i took my mom and that there for a night out. i mean they would have never gone to the grammari sing. had i not invited them and once they wentthere they loved it and they went back again and again and again. in may two thousand and six the joiners andthose at the stadium had been sold to probably be available as the announcement call wasamongst great hand enthusiasm. one called recall a white put together a royalbid for the sort but it isn't a great time to build houses and i think hopefully thiswill make them rethink again.

we need housing in the area book you knowi don't want to see how using at the expense of everything else not. as you move to buildings going on every time despite wantto now this would be nice just to keep as a rising price of a new bicycle and what we'resaying is you come under pressure and for a whole combination of pressures you've justgiven up on this and actually there are lots of things you could do to change that placearound. it's a community facility why do we get ridof another community vicinity. just for morehouse and we can do plenty ofplaces here where we can

do we really need another housing estate andto sell it to people going to have some sort of building some sort of massive state when people can'tsell houses anyway at the moment just the tendencies in the last three four weeks because you've got people saying oh i'm goingto go before it never been that before. it's a triple that the what i can say seethis place is just like a casino. it's my to print money he's a money makingthing anyone that knows anything about stock price and especially if you've got a placelike this if you can't make money in the something bad to get them wrong.

the ones that coming. now i don't want to jump in on the bandwagonbecause the price is closing. it's sad for the genuine pump to live in right. i come over. why he gets in plenty permission should bequite difficult since much of the so it has been listed a great suitable english heritagethe local council has scheduled a lane suitable for public assembly and leisure. in theory the developers should have quitea problem getting permission.

another london stadium kind of food is undevelopedfive years of the last dog rice was run and there's nothing you can do to stop private. selling their assets and that's not the root problem of the council night theycould do something using planning paul they can't you can't stop the actual site. i think it was wrong. in the states of course when that was doneand that was about three years ago. i think the people home. it's that this would be something that wouldstop the stadium they redevelop four or five

times single industrial use chancing is likelyto be i guess but of course it has worked. at the end of the day the listing. isn't going to stop the stadium being soldand they redevelop to me my mean that big city get preserved but that's as far as it'sgoing to go and you know when you've got a place like this that's been there seventyfive years and you know you talk to people from outside walthamstow you know he talksand you know not met before. where do you come from and you say walthamstowand the number of papering recognizable from style because of the great insight it wasactually a huge number.

lots of loss of pay for bain there. i mean just in the last few weeks since itwas announced that it was going to close. i mean i find letters from all over the country. it's all part of that heritage. we're losing our traditions very easily and it's one of those things that we wantto try and keep time rather than times and down. was almost everybody who talks about the startuse of the word or clinic.

sooner or later that really. there is want to spread agreement that inthese her achievement was want to list elements of the stadium to make it extremely difficultto prove that i was there i was going to look very strange if couturegot straightly stripes but if you don't develop as it were to build us and people are willingto buy then it will happen and how it kills we use in years ahead. not to show off a startling design as theyare connected as. it's quite unique hash i'm standing artistsand one place that part's the trouble because

of whatever whatever might happen the feature. they say to start campaigning to help marchesand organize a petition campaign is included local m.p. neil general it can phone a conservative partyleader. ian duncan smith both cry and i don't is intheir time mr duncan smith has a veto on a grand jury or a dog that ran at the track. almost a sign so i'm paid to grade two listedwas being announced the local council was talking to developers about building housesthere. i draw of planning brief was even producedgiven a test that i'm not to have spilled

in. nor we do the military get rid of one facilityhere for the council is in a good position to talk to the hasn't been fed up as londoncourtroom. it knows them very well and in queue tookover the last number of kind of so has it in the area cloyd logs lead author walthamforest council was not prepared to appear on his documentary to support the council'spoint of view i presume since he could also have also charges of money but the chargesthat the star had been forced to have far more stuff than any other stadium as a resultof unusual interpretations of health and safety regulations locally.

no doubt the cancel and sit in good faithplanning officers were told that the stadium could not survive because it was unprofitableit was impossible for them to check since talks were secret be so it's everyone knewthe chargers were experts when it came to running growing and stadiums. how could they be wrong or allow tracks thathave disappeared in the london area include catford hiring guy like me and didn't strikefor the west ham in what city. you can still visit him. didn't i may even see the old dog there. they built to bring cross shopping centeron the site.

what worries me is that what will happen isthat it will sit there and see for course some won't because you know even just thelast few weeks. you know the housing market looks to be initaly and you just wonder whether the developer is going to be really keen to build housesjust at this moment or even the next next year or so now there's another great truck. shot down the line than five years ago catfordcatford was shut down and and since we're going to be built on the the side not bricksfeel like it. five years later hasn't a lot of activitythat say that attack in south africa has been pretty much demolished but not a lot of buildingactivity that another site wouldn't before

some sites like that would it and i've beendown for a couple of years. i sense of that the housing association peoplea lot of quadrants are involved with walthamstow alpha not going to see this mark capturedyou know that in four five years time. if you're flying here. oh no no no no say no no we will definitelybe rebuilding definitely building but i'm just worried that with the housing marketon the pressure that it will set that all right on the front of the building is listedthe back of the new need listed on the site. so i just don't see how you can pull out thesearound without touching the front and the yeah.

doug it's all and i you know in your old. one of a handful of cookies left at a truck. i can remember the first time. ok. my grandfather. you never had casinos before you know bettingshops before so i need to take you know white from what we used to know as the on coursebetting market actual been taken away from us. if you bet on the international sleeve bettingexchanges like that.

you can do things like bets against a dogor a horse you can buy something to lose and i think the big difference because you usedto see people that he would bet big money and they used to be a lot of book like isthat there's only a handful betting time i thought my stance on the timehigh and dry time wasting is a hugely popular product with punters across the country toinvest in shops on the internet transom sells a half billion pounds as wages of course andi'm quite yet. so it's still hugely popular. that people come on a saturday night to canvassthey come out for a social night out. you can come with a far from it.

so you can have tempe on the time you canhave a drink. you know first pensioner where the cost of living bases are astronomicaland everything is going up. you know for a pound to get in and not takethe time to phrase some know it's the ban on a pound for the time you're going to getto know what the good price and that's on it now and where could you get it they shouldbe about forty fifty bookmakers here. i don't know how many actually but obviouslyleast fifty. we've got seven and

it's not an easy business now but a thousand times after the show is just about now. you don't want to provoke a show you knowsomething we started you know the part i did like about it lasttime i come i won sixty pounds some traction. and you can stand there and ice your car andyou put your price up and you don't strike up that cash talk about oh wait no we won't have it otherwise youmight take thirty or forty pounds of ice.

i don't have a thousand pound i have a thousand pounds on top. but i want to have it on the truck because that would drive up the ticket trying to comeup in a boat wait to thank all the folks get back to the fire academy to watch it run. so that i got enough money to go was ok ok ok ok thanks

to no one was consulted about the closure ofthe i wasn't i don't know the british greyhound racing board you know the thing about seasontwo. it was in their names. it was in fact put on the website for stategreyhound stadium in january of this year that they were never going to sell and theyassured quote all the trainers in assured them for the show and sees nothing was goingto happen. you know that truck was staying open thatwas it then less than six months later it sold and the most annoying thing was it soldwith out the knowledge of the industry.

i sell to social housing without even get. the opportunity for the greyhound fraternityto actually step in and buy and that there was a complete trial of greyhound racing. nobody knows which corky texas was responsiblefor the universally acclaimed as a clinic front and tugboat with its jointly owned greyhoundyears ago the dog used to have multiple lakes one off the other to give the impression thatit was running today the dog. not much of the best the stadium looks a bittatty this study and was still run by the chargers it was great children but it's onlyto say they seem to have lost a few as you guys and for the start.

and the older ones one or two weeks on theystill want to be done but honestly i mean don't they. kitchen stuff on iran and i just shine buti mean people don't come in it's going to need fear of repairs and it's got into thecipher that this site we need to disciple lift and different stuff than ever that haveto spend that money. i should imagine you have a if any want tokeep this up and i should imagine you'd have to spend at least near enough a million poundsto get up. a money grubber hands live for about twelveto fourteen years but they rarely rice much once they get processed exposed like eachday is a huge number.

we tories and many grow and spread for riceand never make the grade. not everyone is upset about the closure animalactivists have been campaigning to shut the stock down. well absolutely. i mean we're pleased when any contract closes down equally passionate aboutanimal rights yohane a bottom up. family only that they form a hate teacher who has been findinghomes for weeks on dry hands for forty three

years but she is a champion of the rightsand then used to spin every such if you know what that was. whereas before the majority will put down. now the majority found the truck the big truckslooked after the dogs. we have very strict well integrity standardsand i was saying i was cruel to dogs like kill there was a killing room in there andthings like that and i never ever to put dot dot. again in my life. some of the trainers do so.

not necessarily because they're vicious butalso because they're afraid of them hurting themselves. i mean some of these dogs are worth fifteentwenty five thousand pounds. so the trainers are very often extra careful. but coming into a kennel like this you cansee the real temperament of the dog is to say this forty eight. here they come in here they don't know any of theother dogs they just get on with them immediately. we very seldom use a muzzle he said when theywalk in them out on the fields not a

dogs. there are in there so well looked after youknow like a hotel where i was kept because of the dumont that that truck creates fordogs to be bred a truck from stow is responsible for the killingof over five hundred greyhounds every year. well i'm not quite sure where they get theirfigures from to be honest because it's very difficult. account for exactly how many dogs are finishingevery year and basically i can only speak for autumn style and the walthamstow dogshave thirty years now come into the system and rehab and they either kept the trainers.

if they were really really good. obviously they go start pictures or turn itto flake some of the owners take them some of the owners do actually take and sell saysa very good at this. kennel start take them home track stuff takethem. we advertise them falling house in the hopeof finding schemes. so really and truly there is no need thatall the dogs from the larger tracts to be put down. the demand created by the greyhound racingindustry causes something like twenty five floors and greyhounds a year to be bred thisis the industry in britain has a home now

only ten cry was. of those dogs actually make it to the tracksthe other fifty thousand are disposed of before they even race and very sadly most of thosedogs end up being put to death is not strictly true what is whips or suggested greyhoundbreeding to put it in perspective is carry on a pretty small scale in this country. it's in the reader's interest to get manygreyhounds that he or she breeds onto the track to do otherwise is pretty financialsuicide site. the other thing i should say it's very easyto be home with a pop pop greyhound if it's operates at twelve or fifteen months it'snot fast or also isn't interested in chasing

the hatch of rights that should be no problemat all to be home in that very hunt. unless of course it is temperamentally unsuitablefor retirement. a lot of those dogs get put to death in allof them speak was most dogs eighty percent of greyhounds that race on the tracks in britainactually come from monument a large number greyhounds that race on the shores are bredin all and all of the time greyhound racing industry if you like it has its own twentytracks of a successful track and has quite a large scale training and breeding operation. this is definitely a major problem in ourand we have no jurisdiction i volunteer we are working with government here and theyare using with us.

noreply@blogger.com (Inside Casio) — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 22:54:00 +0700

welcome to all of our 1000ps fans from valencia in spain where triumph is presenting their brandnew street twin. i already made a test run with it and for the first time ever, i got slightly injured while doing it. i slightly ran into another driver or rather his motorcycle with roundabout 25mph+ while i played with the clutch. the lever was mounted a bit too far up and i always seemed to be getting at the button for the upper beam headlights which irritated me. one would usually stop in that case to ask the mechanic if he could adjust the lever position .. i didn't and kept playing with it. as i looked up, everyone else was driving at half of my speed . so i touched the other driver's exhaust and its mounting bracket fell off. my left footpeg was bent and my toes were in between.. i feel accordingly. but i will bite through it and tell you how i felt driving the street twin. it's a funny story, at least for me.

when i packed my stuff for this test drive, i found this - a 2008 model catalog from triumph. seven years went by since then. i took a look into it. there's also a pricing list for austria inside. fourteen models in total. rocket 3, three classic models, three touring models, sprint, sprint st and of course the usual suspects: thruxton, three different versions of the bonneville and the scrambler. while i was flipping through the catalog, i thought to myself: not much has changed at triumph during the last 7 years. and i was happy about it because that is a sign for me that a brand stays true to itself, that it keeps on refining the tried and tested models and that it has a certain heritage it can be proud of. i particularily like when you stick to your models and your history, hone them and keep trying to transform all of that into modern age. that's exactly what they tried with the street twin.

regarding the bonneville's history: the street twin is part of the bonneville product range with a total of five models. two bonnevilles, t120 and the t120 black, a thruxton and a sportier thruxton r - everyone of them with a new 1200ccm engine. we will drive those models next year. and now the street twin which is powered by a 900 ccm parallel-twin that has - now comes a shocker - "only" 55 horsepower. triumph didn't hold their presentation until half of the test runs were done. they made us guess how many hp the engine has. our guesses were far too high. the bottom line is, naturally, the torque. it already has 80 nm torque at 3000 rpm. between 2500 and 4000rpm it has a rich power which really amazed me. it's a real pleasure bike.

triumph aimed for that golden middle to have this nice pressure. it's not a punch, it really is pleasant pressure coming from this engine. in my opinion, they truly succeded with that. the bike is a lot of fun and suitable for daily use while being well ridable at the same time. the bike is very well-rounded. a few other facts from the bonneville's modern age history: in the year 2000, the bonneville was presented with a 790 ccm engine. in 2006, it followed a version with a bigger 865 ccm engine. in 2008, they put the fuel injection into it. in 2009, they added cast iron rims which didn't appeal to everybody. finally, in 2014, they added special versions like the newchurch. and now, they revised the complete bonneville product line and added the street twin. the street twin has a 900 ccm engine - i just told you the performance specs.

the chassis has been revised completely. it has better ergonomics. the footpegs are surprisingly far at the back - you have to tilt your feet a bit. you have to mind not putting your boots too far out. they will otherwise touch the ground in tighter turns. however, the cornering clearance is decent, not a problem at all. unfortunately, i myself with my bent footpegs reached the ground more times than i'd like to admit. that souldn't be happening with normal, unbent footpegs ;) regarding the subjects ergonometry and comfort, i always like to get a second opinion. this time by jens from our sister magazine "motorrad". hi jens! jens: hi there!

k.ot: when we do bike reviews, we always seem to get the question: "is that a bike for taller people?" it comes from persons who are taller than 6ft2 or 8ft like yourself. and this right here is a relatively small bike with a low seat height. how has the bike been treating you yesterday? jens: i have to say that i was a bit scared when i first heard of a seat height of 2.5ft in press releases.. phew.. this will be tight! i personally don't have a problem getting with my feet on the ground, so that's rather negligible for me. nonetheless, triumph made a good job. the biggest question is always: where do i put all my limbs without bumping into certain bike parts while driving? in this case, they put tank bulges on both sides which leave enough space for your kness. although we have an accesscory bench mounted right here, you are able to move back and forth without a problem. so you're quite variable in terms of seating position. that means that you have a lot of room to adjust your position until it's perfect.

i was surprised how well this works altough i'm 6ft5 and not exactly 8ft tall... it really is great! overall, the triangle of footpegs, bench and handlebars was ideal. at least for what we did yesterday, what was casual country road cruising. if you're driving on the highway, which should not be the primary use of this bike, it might begin to ache a little bit in the knees after an hour or so. but for cruising, the bike suits just fine. k.ot: my knee pits started to hurt a bit which perhaps was a result of my little accident. jens: who knows! k.ot: were you satisfied with the driving dynamics and the engine? jens: i was very impressed by it. of course, we heard that it only has 55hp which is a downgrade from the older versions. we all expected an upgrade, especially since it has watercooling now.

but the engine tuning with more torque, a cooler mid-torque segment really left a positive impression. you don't have to open the throttle all the way up to ride at ease. but you still have the possibility to do so if you want to go fast. overall, i'm just very satisfied with all this power. k.ot: i was totally pleased by the engine with its strong middle segment and i never even went into the limiter. i never got tempted to do so. last question: which of those models do you like the most? jens: hmm.. uhm.. of course, if you look at the highly positioned exhaust, which, unfortunately, is the only unhomologated one of the bunch, because they couldn't fit the cat.. .. then it seems to be the most fashionable version of the bike. it just stands out. when you image some knobby tires on it, it just comes across very cool. unforunately, it won't be as cool as it could be, if you want to be on the road with a legal exhaust. k.ot: we definitely share the same opinion on that! i also really dig knobbed tires which give the bike that perfect scrambler look.

thanks a lot, jens! jens: you're welcome! k.ot: i hope we can meet at further presentations in 2016 and i wish you a merry christmas. jens: thanks, likewise. all the best! the seat really adds to the ergonometry. it's positioned at a height of 2,5ft. you almost have like a cruiser feeling with it. right until 5,5ft, you have a very safe stand. from 6ft upwards, it begins to feel like sitting on a couch. it's very enjoyable. the seat was bolstered up by 25% and the range of spring was raised up by 20%. what other conveniences do we have? i mentioned the clutch lever i played with earlier in this video.

a very pleasant surprise: you can adjust both levers. the clutch lever in four different positions and the brake lever in even five positions. adjustments should be done before driving the bike or if you need to do it while driving, just stop and adjust it then ;) i will probably keep that in mind from now on.. what else do we have.. the mirrors! interestingly enough, they have the same length as the handlebars. they don't overlap. quite practical for driving in the city when you want to filter. in case you're allowed to do that.. yet, you have a good view on everything. its design is relatively simple. it has round mirrors. the handle itself is coated in black and this seems to be satined in aluminium. it's a nice detail. they're are many other beautiful details. the bench has the triumph logo stamped in. the same on the handlebar bridge. the headlight sports the triumph "t" in it.

as you can see, there are a lot of beautiful details that triumph came up with. the overall impression in terms of build quality is very high. of course, they put in some plastic parts as well. for example the fenders or other covers which you can replace with special metal parts. fortunately, those parts don't attract much attention. nothing seems or stands out as cheap. it's just plastic and not metal. it doesn't disturb the overall appearance because the important details like the headlights montur are solid. triumph knew exactly where to put the parts. i really like it. my overall impression is that its appearance is kept quite simple. that's the reason why there will be a huge array of accessories. that's what i presented in another video with the three inspiration kits scrambler, brat tracker and urban with a vast variety of exhaust systems from vance & hines. there's only one downer: the most beautiful und coolest exhaust available, is the only one which is not permitted..

that's just how it is without a cat. there are some other modern and comfortable feautures like a board computer which shows me useful data like driven miles, daily miles or miles per gallon. i don't know if that will switch to litres and km in the european countries. but i think so. the speedometer also shows mph and km only smaller. i'm also able to modify the traction control. abs and traction control. you can modifiy it within a second which is great. i don't have to hold the i-button for like five seconds or so. i just push a button, select it and it will switch immediately. in like one or two seconds, it's done. we had great weather conditions today. i only saw the traction control light blinking while driving in the gravel. i wouldn't have seen it otherwise. it really has rich torque but i wouldn't need traction control except for wet streets or gravel. we also have a usb port and ride-by-wire. the throttle response is outstanding.

if you ride at low revs or under 2000 rpm, there is a slight stumble. you shouldn't drive that way anyways... the clutch is handled effortlessly. it's being mechanically supported. i could drive like that a whole week with no rest. i usually not able to do that. the joint and the sinew in my hand often start to ache after a day on the race track. i'm quite sensitive, you know.. this one here goes effortlessly which is very important for me. anything else is just unnecessary by today's standards. the sound is rich, just like the torque. i was at the presentation in london and there i wasn't that excited. but all the bikes there were running at the same time and it was a big hall with lots of people. today, when several street twins were running at the same time, they made a very enjoyable sound. just like the exhaust's optics, the sound is very nice. you don't have to replace it and you will still have a decent exhaust all around which is very rare and special thing.

that should not be taken for granted, especially in euro 4 times. we also have a led taillight which is a red circle. the whole body will light up when you brake. it's a little gimmick but your bike will be recognised as a street twin immediately. it's a five speed transmission and is very accurate. i didn't have any problems today although i tend to be a little sloppy with my shifting. every gear was on spot. the engine is watercooled. all those changes on the engine, which by the way don't leave a negative optical impression, were very well made. it still looks outstanding, very classy and clean. all that led to the fact that the engine's fuel consumption was reduced by 36%. my brain wasn't completely able to understand that.. we converted the fuel consumption from miles per gallon to km per litre and couldn't believe our eyes. we were under 4 litres per 100 km (~1 gallon).

as you can imagine, we don't ride that slow during these events and we often drive while capturing some camera footage. so we often start the engine and accelerate very quickly. we drive quick turns, sometimes on the highway etc. i have to say, if it still is unter 4 litres when i'm testing it at home, it would be sensational. unbelievable.. such a classy, beautiful iron with such a power, so homogenous and with such a low fuel consumption.. that really is a sensation. now to some other technical data we received today: the wheelbase is at 56.6 inches. the dry weight is at 436 lbs, fuelly fueled and with all the liquids, it weighs 480 lbs. the weight is enjoyable but you can feel it a bit while standing. the front part of the bike is a bit stiff so it's not a hyperagile bike. but it's still very manageable. just like the engine is very homogenous, the handling is as well. it has a smaller fuel tank, only 12 litres. but i guess that won't be a problem with that fuel consumption.

the brakes also made a very positive impression. according to triumph, they have a braking distance of 120 ft, stopping from 62 mph. that is a top performance for a triumph. the balance between front and back axle must be really good. unfortunately, i don't have the braking mass as of yet and i don't know what this is - a 300 brake disc perhaps. while not being overly equipped brake-wise, that's a sensational performance. that's what i also felt while driving today. i don't have anything to complain about. the tires are form pirelli, it's the pirelli phantom to be exact which has a newly designed tread and allegedly performs better. the back tire has the measurements 150, 70, 17. i also have to look for the front tire. it's an 18 inch. it has the measurements 190 and 18.

the rims are 10-spoke and iron cast. there are also quite classy spoke wheels available that i wanted to capture on camera for you but i didn't find one. those would be my first choice. like i said earlier on, there is a wide range of accessories for this bike which can be installed right at your dealer. starting points are the three inspiration kits that i presented to you in the other video. they always come with five of those accessories but many more can be installed afterwards. i like this idea because the costs can be kept low with the inspiration kits. i already have the prices for the kits for germany and austria: the urban kit costs 1.500 euros, the brat tracker 1.730 euros and the scrambler 2.390 euros. that's not really cheap, of course. but it's alright if you compare the prices to other companies offering comparable stuff.

you get premium parts. for example the vance and hince exhaust systems, led indicators and this beautiful bench seat. i think it's worth the money, at least for me. you have to modify and personalize this kind of motorcycle altough it already looks good in its basic form. it's available in five different colors, three of them are black. there is also red and silver which i especially like with its special logo. its a topnotch new member of the triumph family. my first thought was: the 1200 ccm models will thrive and, well, the 900 ccm will be a rather meagre entry. but it's exactly the opposite: it's a lush iron, just as i like it and it gives you freedom for individual customising. well, we're at the end of the video and taking a look at the year 2008 and this catalog again. a lot of people complain about too little changes with some brands. it often seems that way at first glance. but when looking at models like the bonneville, you can see major changes or even milestones over the years.

i think you can really call this motorcycle a milestone again and i'm looking forward to the 1200 ccm models thruxton and bonneville. coming from this, their performance must be unbelievable and i'm happy when i can test them in the beginnig of next year. i will enjoy the rest of the evening in valencia now. thanks for watching and please give me a thumbs up if you liked it! you might as well subscribe to our channel, watch some of our other videos and leave a comment. thank you very much and see you soon!

hello, ujiie here. i have a cp4 stage here for you today. as far as yamaha electric pianos go, this is the newest model. and already i'm head over heels for this thing! a few times already, i've used this on stage, in gigs, etc. i've tested it out in the real world. it's great! could you tell from me playing just then, what can i say, the keys are so good, it's like

an extension of your fingers! the level of expression you can put into your playing, like with this piano sound... ...such silky smooth dynamics. it really feels so good! i think you get what i'm trying to say here. very nice! ok, so the uh, cp4 stage, the sound i'm playing now is called cfx grand,

the cfx being yamaha's top of the line grand piano, a concert grand piano. and it's no exaggeration to say that they've perfectly nailed that sound right here. it's fantastic! and what's more, i uh, ok the panel here, you've got various controls, over here, the voice category buttons.

acoustic piano 1. cfx. by the way... the cfx piano sound, using the "stereo" version now. lots of variations though. monaural version, etc. a kinda dark one there. a compressed one.

a flat-tuning one. you've got stretch-tuning, flat-tuning... lots of variations. 15 in all. so it's on acoustic piano, group one now. cfx, right? let's try group two. ok. uh, acoustic piano 2. and doing so, we get cf. the cf too,

another of yamaha's grand pianos. it's got a different character. right? let's go back to cfx. do you hear the difference? it's like, can pianos really be this different? yeah. i really, really like these sounds! cfx and cf. and, there's one more acoustic piano. the s6, which is a smaller grand piano.

the s6. this one sounds more, what, woody? this one's really nice too! uh, as i said before, each of these, cfx, cf, s6 has 15 variations ready for you to use. you've got three grand pianos here, inside this thing! if you had to put a price on it,

i don't even want to think about it, honestly! astronomical. and on we go, electric pianos next. first up, a 1971 rhodes. this! now that's what i'm talking about! like an extension of your fingers. oh by the way the cp4 stage has wooden keys. see? keys made of wood.

could you see? now, the 1971 rhodes, that one still had the fender logo on it. pure vintage, from that era. if we look at the variations, next is a '73 rhodes. you hear the difference, right? ah this, this right here!! that metal feeling, the way the hammer strikes, it's different. '75.

oohh this is nice too. the '75 rhodes is one that i actually owned. that brings back memories. same sound!!! spot on! now, another thing, there are no steps here, uh, samples... uh like velocity-switched samples, not even an issue! each and every of the 127 midi velocities seamlessly and smoothly flow right into each other. that's why the dynamics are so darn good.

next, a '78 rhodes. ah, here, you hear it? hear the difference? the top register, especially. this are here is totally different. as you go higher, the dynamics come out differently, a characteristic of the rhodes pianos. and we also have the 'dyno-my' rhodes, customized/modified rhodes pianos, the final version of the rhodes electric piano. yeah, here!

completely different. great, isn't it? super! you've also got ones with tremolo. stereo tremolo. fantastic. great variations! in the electric piano 2 group: wurlitzer. rhodes pianos use tone bars, but wurlitzers

use these uh tone things, reeds! struck steel reeds. the decay is really short, and at the top... the 'attacky' sound is very characteristic. oh, this is a 1969 wurlitzer, by the way. next, a '77 wurlitzer. the sound has more bounce to it. lots of variations on the wurlitzer sound. like this one, which has a bit of distortion.

some of the sounds have effects on them. useful for making your own sounds. this thing has a super effects processor in it! they call it the vcm effect, which perfectly captures the vintage effects units. i'll talk more about that later. next, electric piano 3. this group... ...yamaha cp and such. the cp series being representative of electric grand pianos.

very good. ok, so electric piano group 3 starts off with the cp of course, and it has variations of teh cp sound, and of course, when mentioning electric pianos, can't leave out dx! too beautiful! lots of variations.

any electric piano sound you could make on a dx7, they've got them all in here! so you've got acoustic and electric piano groups. you've got clavinets too. the clavinet sounds are really good! clavinet sounds like this, with wow-wow on them, are not the easiest to program! that's a great effect right there. the effect is touch-wow.

there are organ sounds too. the rotary effect is very well done here! very nice. on to the bottom row. synth sounds, strings and what not. choir sounds. pads. brass. guitar.

lots of different sounds. you can put those together with piano sounds. if you press two buttons at the same time, say, acoustic piano and pads. you've got instant layered sounds. very nice. and, for putting sounds together like that, there's a performance mode. so, let's check out performance sounds. the cfx grand sound, which i played at the beginning.

number 2 is '75 rhodes mw' mw meaning modulation wheel. move the mod wheel... yes! that adds delay. this is it. this!!! the next one, cf and acoustic bass. this is great! did you know i was using a secret technique just then? ok so with performance mode, you can do a few neat things.

here, the higher range is piano, step on the pedal and... you get sustain. right? but with the lower range, the bass sound, even if you step on the pedal, thre's no sustain added to it. that's a big point right there. nice little tricks like that. s6 and a pad. the s6 piano and a synth pad. ok, so let me talk about the effects processor.

can you zoom in on this here for me? for system effects, we've got reverb and chorus. those are the main ones. and, we've got part effects a and b, which work like insert effects, so for each sound, you've got two effects that you can use freely. this is really good. take this rhodes sound, uh, dyno-my. that's got some nice chorus on it, right?

what's going on here, as far as effects are concerned? ok, we've got d chorus. that's one. so let's change that, uhhh, to a phaser? here we go. ok here are the phaser effects. this one is 'small phaser.' this is really nice!

'max 90' now. max90 being an mxr 90. so with performance, you can customize the effects, and use various sneaky techniques, and put a variety of sounds together. but the acoustic piano and pad combinations, especially, are really quite exquisite. the breadth and spaciousness of this sound... so nice! another one, s6 and synth pad.

you can control the balance when you layer sounds via these sliders. you can set it how you like. you can control it live if you want. next, a combination of cfx and rhodes. a golden combination if ever there was one. beautiful! nice, isn't it? uh, a rhodes and a pad. next, s6 grand piano meets dx.

that's nice, isn't it? awesome! next, cp and dx. that's good too. i think this next feature is fantastic. take this piano. a very well-balanced cfx grand, a very nice piano. now, if we look over here on the right side, lo and behold,

something i get a lot of mileage out of: the master eq. right here. this is really powerful! low. low mid. mid. high mid. high. 5 bands in all. the low really packs a punch. i've gone to an extreme here...

the faders click in the center, which is a good general setting point. say you want to stand out a little bit more during a piano solo. no problem. you can raise the mids and highs a bit. and once your solo is done, put them back to the middle. you can do that. it doesn't change the overall volume, but it can make the sound stand out. another secret technique. don't raise it too much though, you'll hurt your ears. just use it sparingly. a little tip for you there. but it's great to have eq!

well, that's about it. the yamaha cp4 stage. i think it's really, really good! you know, as a stage piano, for acoustic and electric pianos, really there is no other choice! such attention to basic details. really, this thing is just captivating. simply amazing! and there is one more point i'd like to talk about. it's very compact even though it has 88 keys.

and even though it's such high-quality, it's really light! this is a really big point. and if you look at the rear panel, you find it has a usb port here, and xlr outputs as well. all bases covered. they did their homework. and you can record and playback audio via the player here. so, having said all that, you really need to try out a cp4 stage yourselves. check it out!

(battle trip has been upgraded) cast your votes. - we're here. / - here it is! the final poll results? (the winning team?) (all about travel) (useful travel tips for you) (lee hwijae, kim sook, san e, sung sikyung) traveling is a war, battle trip!

- isn't the weather beautiful? / - it's great. today... we have more friends than couples here. - welcome, studio audience. / - welcome. - today... / - 2 men and 2 women. what kind of trip will be designed today? we'll meet 4 amazing travel planners. i was so shocked. they're really difficult to cast.

i'm curious. let's meet the 4 travel planners. please welcome them with applause. (kim okvin, kim hyeonsuk) (kim okvin's pretty!) (kim iljung, lee sangmin) is it a special show today? a return to variety shows special. return to variety shows?

it feels like a special episode. sangmin, you must be really determined. you're wearing a hooded jumper. it's really hot. you haven't been on kbs for 6 years? it's the first time since 2009 so... - it's been 7 years. / - 7 years. - really? / - 7 years? wow. it must feel really different.

yes. it feels new and i'm nervous. - i'm a huge fan of kim okvin. / - okvin? i loved her drama, "yuna's street." anyway, i feel really pressured. - want me to change spots? / - no. you seem really flustered. okvin, you haven't been on a terrestrial tv variety show for 8 or 9 years. yes. it's been 8 or 9 years.

it was a long time ago. i didn't sleep very well. right. hyeonsuk, are you really close to okvin? i find that hard to believe. - it's been 10 years. / - pentaport. - 10 years ago. was it pentaport? / - yes. when we go to music festivals, we usually meet drunken men.

i guess we can meet you there, okvin. - right. / - yes. are you going to go often now? no. i'm a ballad singer. that's when we first met. i'm much older than she is but it felt like she was my age. at times, she seems older than i am. - we got along well. / - from the beginning?

sangmin and iljung, you're in trouble. - are you close? / - did you exchange numbers? we're not very close. - you're not close. / - we're close! we're getting to know each other. we're close. we took this trip to get to know each other better. you're all sweaty. can his stylist bring some tissues? he's sweaty.

- you're dripping. / - i want to wipe it for him. i think he needs a cup, not a tissue. (sangmin pulls out a face powder case) he brought that himself. did you become close after this trip? - very close. / - we're much closer now. men taking a trip together... that isn't easy. you're going to be very surprised.

we felt some entirely new emotions. for sure. - where did you go? / - let's see it. let's reveal this week's travel theme. please show us the travel theme. just men, just women. 2 nights and 3 days. an overseas trip. i don't know about men but girls' trips... they're really fun because

you take photos of each other. what? photos are half the trip. - that's so tiring. / - you have to take photos. photos are all that you're left with. - photos? / - yes, with food. he probably took more photos than those two put together. - he took selfies at every location. / - really? i take 80 photos to gain 1 good photo.

we researched korea's largest travel website. the travel keywords that men respond to were very different... - to women. / - keywords. it's hard to generalize but women's travel keywords include good to take photos, a hidden site, good food. what about men?

affordable, cheap. escape. - escape. / - that's sad. - escape sounds good. / - i like escape. (men and women think differently) (today's theme, a men's only, women's only trip) (special trips presented by our travel planners) (their special trips begin in a few moments!) our tour's called the return to sing tour.

that sounds dangerous. don't get the wrong idea. he could become a victim. that's why i wore my couple ring today. - i don't usually wear this. / - why wear it now? in case people mistake me for being divorced. it's called the return to sing tour because it's our return to singapore. it has a different meaning.

we actually took a trip to singapore but unfortunately, we didn't get to take a good look around singapore. so you went back. yes, we went back. return to sing. it's our return to singapore. the return to sing tour. i really love singapore.

i've been there 6 times. i went twice to shoot, once with my wife. then... anyway, i've been 6 times. what about the remaining 3 times? once with your wife, twice to shoot... the other three... will you be okay when you go home? sorry. i've been to singapore 3 times. the other 3 times were in your past.

twice to shoot, once with my wife. i would've expected the women to go to singapore. this country lies close to us. it's europe. vladivostok! vladivostok. russia. many people probably think it's far away but it's quite close. via russian airlines, it takes less than 2 hours.

- it passes through north korea. / - directly. travel expenses are important. sangmin, in singapore... aside from the airfare, how much did you spend? aside from the airfare, we spent $415 each. - $415 for 2 nights, 3 days. / - 2 nights and 3 days? we had a wonderful time. how about vladivostok?

aside from the airfare... (she smiles wickedly) - per person? / - we spent half that amount. $270 each! then... (which team will win?) (let's head to singapore first!) (a cool, boys' trip to singapore) - so that's how it looks. / - it looks lovely.

singapore! (lee sangmin and kim iljung's 2 nights and 3 days) (discover the unique fun!) singapore's really pretty. it has great night views. i'm at hongdae on a saturday evening! why did you wear a suit to hongdae? i used to be an announcer. did you style your hair so it's uneven?

- i just came from home. / - really? you look really cute. (cute 45-year-old lee sangmin) 2 nights, 3 days. the flight time... we should leave at night, arrive in the morning. we need to look into that. - to make the most of the 3 days? / - right. then taiwan! taiwan's here.

singapore too. i'll look for distant locations. the singapore flight hours are good. depart at 00:35, arrive at 5:55. that sounds tiring. - really? / - then... we can start as soon as we get there. - as soon as we get there? / - yes. - sleep on the plane. / - on the plane?

we get there at 5:50 in the morning. we'll have a full day then. the next day's a full day too. then we'll depart at night, arrive in korea early morning. if it's a team competition, we have to decide on a team name, right? - yes. / - there's a reward too. singapore, singapore...

it's going to be our second time in singapore. we didn't get to do much last time. we're going back to singapore. we're returning to singapore. return, return to sing. (self-destruction) it suits you perfectly... (second bombing) return to sing tour?

return to singapore, the return to sing tour. return to sing tour. i like that. return to sing tour. let's do it! (day of trip, 10:40 p.m.) you boarded the night plane. there was a flight at 12:30 a.m. - to arrive in the morning? / - in the morning. you get a full day then. - we're not late, right? / - you're not late.

- where are your bags? / - this is my bag. - just that? / - how about yours? he brought 2 suitcases. - for just 3 days. / - who? sangmin. it gets tiring if you have 2 suitcases. (a raincoat in case it rains) (to clean the dust from his clothes) (that feels nice)

(a scalp massager) (his suitcase contains so many items) aren't we coming back in 2 days? yes, it's 2 days. 2 days, 5 days or a week... i need the same things. let's go. travel masters are different. the international airport's really big.

- right. / - you need to ride this. (they head to board the midnight flight!) wait for me! it's a good departure time. - half past midnight? / - yes. you open your eyes and you've arrived. he's really detailed. it takes 5 and a half hours by plane but sangmin even prepared a neck pillow.

i didn't know there was a flight at 12:30 a.m. i didn't know that either. this is great. we're in singapore. (return to sing tour starts early in the morning) (mrt, transportation to get around the city) (it connects major hotels and shopping centers) as i told you, the first location... kaya toast. we have to begin with toast.

what are you doing? i'm looking up food. food? food is important. things you have to eat in singapore. (the first stop is breakfast) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 11. 12 stops. it will take around 30 minutes then.

- we should nap then? / - right! - sleep in transit. / - right. it's such a busy schedule. let's set the alarm before sleeping. we have 10 stops left. let's sleep for the next 15 minutes. okay. (sleep mode) (they try to catch up on sleep)

how many expo stops are there? (the mystery of expo) it was expo earlier. i think we've gone back. i think we went backwards. no way. (10 minutes ago) (empty) do we get out? everyone's getting out.

some people are getting back on. - i think we went backwards. / - no way. everyone got out earlier. we were supposed to change lines. when everyone got off earlier? it keeps moving between the same route. - it keeps moving back and forth. / - it's a loop line. it kept going back and forth. expo, airport, expo, airport.

i opened my eyes. expo? keep sleeping. you didn't know that? we kept stopping at expo. i thought the expo must be huge. that's what we told ourselves. (they've sat in the metro for an hour) you have to apply this. (he applies sunscreen) (he looks like a beijing opera star)

the color of your face has changed. i'm looking for ya kun toast. exit 8, to your left. about 9:30 they open. okay, thank you. toast. 8, to the left. kaya toast's the first thing that you want to do in singapore.

is it a food that represents singapore? it's really delicious. - the jam's delicious. / - kaya jam. kaya jam? can you eat kaya toast anywhere? there are a lot of shops. however, there's the original toast... - fakes too? / - there are imitations. it's famous so there are some similar shops.

this is kaya jam. (kaya jam, made from coconut, eggs, pandan leaves) (the taste?) it's so good. wet the bread. i've been to singapore so many times. i've never heard of kaya toast. really? (kaya toast with eggs, delicious!)

it has a sweet flavor. the jam enhances the flavor. it's not just sweet. also... these soft boiled eggs... that looks delicious. how do you make eggs like that? - milk and eggs? / - put all the yolk on it? hold it for me.

(place the entire yolk on the toast) once you try it like that... it's going in. he makes it look delicious. it's delicious. it's amazing! it's the perfect brunch. - is it a typical breakfast? / - i'm in charge of food. kaya toast was my first choice.

no. 1, kaya toast. there's an outlet in korea. i wonder if it tastes the same. in korea? it's probably different. i think the bread will be similar but the soft boiled eggs... kaya toast, done. i heard there's a sauce that you eat this with.

take a look around. dark sauce, pepper. i mixed the eggs. add a little soy sauce. you can only pour a little. there's a sauce. - what is it? / - it's similar to soy sauce. - what is it? / - why didn't you bring it earlier? does it taste a lot better?

the sweet and simple taste... with a touch of soy sauce... it seasons it. it's so delicious. - it looks simple. / - it's a simple food. it's simple but the taste is addictive. - what should we do? / - eat it or don't eat it? you've come to singapore. eat or don't eat? 1, 2, 3.

- eat! / - eat! - okay. / - good job. - kaya toast, pass. / - if you don't have time... if you can't eat it, at least buy kaya jam. i would make toast with it at home. i'd eat this with eggs. that sounds okay too. - you have to eat it. / - you have to eat this. this set costs $5.60.

you can eat this for just $5.60. let's view our next location. let's go to the closest location from here. your schedule is packed. sangmin drew up a full schedule. this is raffles place. if we walk a short distance, there's the fountain at merlion park. - also, marina sands... / - opposite merlion park.

marina sands. so do you want to go there now? we need to take photos... - at landmarks. / - for sure. we're really here. (4 hours after arriving in singapore) - it's a merlion! / - so that's a merlion. it really feels like singapore now. do you have to do that in front of the fountain?

everyone does that. i didn't want to do that but you can't help open your mouth when you're there. there are a lot of people here. you have to take a photo when you come here. - like that? / - there are so many people. stand here. i'll spray water. you receive it. can you take a photo for us? my face is going numb.

okay? thank you. let's take a look. this is the way to enjoy merlion's park. this is so funny. show us! sangmin really likes it. (the perfect angle) (look at this photo...) - that's the best picture. / - it's so funny.

- the angle's good. / - i bet you used to spit a lot. (he acts it out) - photos like this make a trip fun. / - right. this is how photos should be taken. - you can boast about your trip. / - right. forget normal souvenir photos. merlion park. come or don't come? come! it's worth visiting.

once people see our photo, they'll be sure to come here. if you visit singapore, this is a must-see location. - let's go. / - we're busy. where are you going now? - what was your transportation? / - where now? we used the mrt. this feels like a different country.

- it's exotic. / - it doesn't look like singapore. arab street. (arab street) what are you doing, rapper? he knows how to have a good time. - he'll wear himself out. / - music links me! i'm back in singapore. return to sing! return to sing! - show me the battle trip. / - we'll win battle trip!

the winner of battle trip? - i'm going to win! / - us! again. i'm going to win! - gosh. / - get it right. i haven't been there before. - you haven't, right? / - it's really cheap. it's so pretty. (a delicious smell)

it smells delicious. wait a minute. this is it. i wrote this down in my notebook. we made another discovery. murtabak. - it looks good. / - it's an asian version of pizza. - chicken's probably the most mild. / - chicken. chicken murtabak, one.

one chicken murtabak. (try it. it's delicious) (murtabak is made before their very eyes) - the dough's made there? / - in the shop. - he's a master. / - that's fun to watch. - it tastes good when you see this. / - it stretches. it's like pizza. that's impressive. egg.

- that's strange. / - cheese. - delicious ingredients. / - cheese and eggs. - curry? / - chicken flakes. (it's placed on the pan) (another layer of eggs and meat) it's folded again? murtabak means to fold in arabic. it's folded several times. (sizzle)

- it looks good. / - it looks delicious. - it sort of... / - it looks like an omelette. you can order small, medium and large. i think it was $5, $7 and $9. it smells like pizza. let's try it first. it's hot. did you eat that in a single bite? (greedy 45-year-old) it's not really like pizza.

i can taste curry. the top's been fried. - it's like a curry pizza. / - it's fried, right? it's like fried naan with chicken curry. this only costs $9. - 2 servings? / - yes, large. the servings are generous. small $6, medium $8, large $9.

that's around $7 or $8 then. i'm going to dip it in the chicken curry. the flavor's much stronger. that calls for a beer. totally. a glass of draft beer. it's hot there so you must want to drink beer. you scull beer. (what's going on?)

that's how the food's collected. they order food from the car. the assistant shouts back. it's a drive-thru service. someone hands the food. - wow. / - murtabak. eat or don't eat? - you have to eat that. / - eat. (unique aroma and flavor, their choice for murtabak?) it looks delicious.

you should eat this. it's good. if you've come to arab street, you should enjoy food like a local. you should eat in front of the temple. it has a good view. i think that's an islamic temple. - murtabak, done. / - in front of the temple... is this food sold in korea? i don't think we have this here.

i haven't heard of murtabak. (there's more to eat than just their list) there are a lot of unique foods to eat there. what's that? they look like walnut cakes. street snacks. that looks delicious. prawns. tarts. (bugis street!) (7 hours after arrival, no time to rest)

is it okay for me to carry this? (which fruit has gained iljung's attention?) - it's prickly. / - have you tried this? no, i haven't. i tried but gave up in the middle. try it. i'm curious. really? you have to swallow it. it's so bad that you can't swallow it? - it's fruit. / - the durian challenge!

it isn't easy to eat durian. it was my second attempt. it was iljung's first time. that won't be easy. you should be careful eating this. i think it's the king of fruit. - yes, the king of fruit. / - it's really... i heard it's rich in nutrients. the smell is so strong.

(priced according to rank) this doesn't taste good. - then this is the best? / - delicious. it says super at the top. the delicious one. - let's try the delicious one. / - let's eat it. (iljung's first durian) - don't smell it. / - the smell's strong. it has an unpleasant smell.

it smells like it's off, right? put it in your mouth and chew. it's one of the world's top 5 fruits. for the taste... (how does the durian taste?) he's becoming ugly. chew and swallow. swallow it. - it's spreading. / - swallow it.

- swallow, don't breathe. / - what is it? - the taste... / - what does it taste like? don't breathe if it's hard. (what am i going to do?) i can't breathe. it reminds me of pumpkin sweet potatoes. i'm going to work up the courage to eat it. i couldn't eat it last time. i spat it out. challenge!

it's just a fruit. it's okay. it tastes okay at first. it's rising. his expression's changing. the moment you breathe through your nose... it's rising, right? rising slowly. i think i must've eaten a cheap one before. - it's good. / - it's good? this is why people eat it. i know why people like durian now.

- why they eat it... / - you like it. he's actually an epicure. - i really liked it this time. / - another one. it's really... (will iljung discover the taste of durian?) (this is good?) durians in singapore. eat or don't eat? - it's hard to eat at first. / - you didn't agree.

- challenge yourself. / - no. i've discovered the taste here. it tastes like concentrated peanuts. peanuts? peanuts... it's really good. this is what i think. pumpkin sweet potatoes... wrapped in fermented skate. it's thick and has this sweet flavor but

the moment your breathe through your nose, it rises. fermented skate and pumpkin sweet potatoes. no wonder it's $28. it's good. cheap durian is really hard to eat. thank you. - thank you. / - thank you. chili crab! - this is a must. / - for sure.

no. 2 is chili crab. - this has to be eaten. / - chili crab. with bread... it tastes good with bread too. (the highlight of singapore delicacies) (you'll regret it if you don't eat chili crab) enjoy! it's a dish that represents singapore. - we have to eat chili crab. / - for sure.

you have to eat this. you have to eat this every time you visit. popular chili crab. why isn't the price written here? it only has the photo. seasonal price. it's different every time. how much is a popular chili crab? $78, sir, per kg.

sorry? $78. then let's have 1kg of black pepper and 1kg of chili crab. 1kg of each? - $78, $78. / - yes, sir. i feel so happy right now. chili sauce... that's when we spent a lot of money.

- you should order plain rice too. / - that sauce... you could dip an eraser and it'd taste good. - you could fry shoes. / - right. - dip erasers... / - for sure. (how do the crabs taste?) which should we eat first? (what? it doesn't taste good?) i want to eat the black pepper crab first. why?

this is it? we've waited to eat this? anyone who's been to singapore knows this taste. (forget the durian from earlier) i know. i can imagine the taste. it's really intense. this is for you. eat it. this is like giving me the whole crab.

right. i gave you the best part. the most difficult things in life are to stand surety and to give up a crab shell. - you've given me the best part. / - right. black pepper crab... wait. it's black pepper so i thought the crab would taste like pepper. - it doesn't. / - of course not. it has a smoky flavor, right?

- it does. / - the flavor's strong. what is it? is it hot? (about to eat this wet tissue) - i just ate this. / - i was in such a rush. slow down. the black pepper crab... - he's in a rush. / - let's just finish up and eat. (they take care of each other) it's so good!

(this time, chili crab) let's try the chili crab now. this is the real thing. this is no. 1. (digs in) the rice is here at last. even the small serving's huge. fried rice? you'd think this was a large one.

fried rice servings are huge here. there's so much. that's it! (screams) there it is. (the best way to enjoy chili crab) - there it is. / - like soy sauce marinated crabs. also, the rice... the rice doesn't stick together.

it isn't sticky. you know what this is, right? isn't that organs? it adds to the flavor. (have a bite first) (his cheekbones rise) this is it! we waited to mix rice in the sauce. we waited ages for this rice.

(it tastes good with rice or bread) thanks, sangmin. chili crabs in singapore. eat or don't eat? - eat, of course. / - eat. - what will people think of us? / - eat for sure! - that's obvious. / - yes. there's no point asking. if you come here, would you eat chili or black pepper crab?

- chili. / - chili. chili. - i'm dying to eat chili crab. / - chili crab... it suits korean tastes, right? - totally. / - it's like traditional korean food. chili crab's common but i've never seen black pepper crab. (combination of pepper corns and smoke) would you eat chili or black pepper crab?

- chili! / - chili! black pepper's good too but this one's slightly ahead... - because of the sauce. / - because of this. if you dip the sauce... it's because of the sauce. to be simple, i like this sauce. - it's so good. / - just order both. after we eat this,

we have to experience the night life. the night streets. - the night views. / - we have to see that. (they play without sleep) (singapore's night is more elaborate than day) you arrived at 6 a.m. - the day's really long. / - it's long. (supertree show, a famous night site in singapore) (an artificial tree performance using lights, audio)

(supertree show, free show at 7:45 p.m., 8:45 p.m.) i wonder how this place will change. there are 2 minutes left. it's 43 minutes now. if we can't go up right now, we have to lie down. is the show going to take place above us? the lights should all switch on. (the artificial tree performance?) (the lights darken)

we should sit down to watch this. (the trip planners are scared) it's dangerous. (look at their expressions) everyone sits or lies down to watch this. you should lie down to watch it. yes. you have to look up. - sangmin, you look terrified. / - this is hilarious. (a huge scale)

you can't help doing that. you can't help it? everyone else there was like that too. (they've already lied down) - see? everyone's lying down. / - you're right. - singapore's good. / - goodness. (let's view the supertree show from their angle) this is the angle from the ground, right? (the 45-year-old rapper is excited)

(conducting in the corner) that's great. a boys' trip sounds good, doesn't it? we've got them! i admit it's good. hwijae, you were totally absorbed. i was surprised. i've been there several times. we call them night trips... there's a night flight to japan.

there are flights to japan and hong kong. - japan or hong kong... / - they're famous. there's a night flight to singapore. once you arrive, you can enjoy a full day. i didn't know that before. it's the perfect schedule for office workers. - they can go after work. / - on a friday night. they can take the midnight flight after work. they'll arrive on saturday morning.

you're attractive. that's why women fall in love with him, the more they get to know him. personally, a lot of koreans travel to southeast asian countries like singapore. i'm a little uncomfortable with this. when men travel in a group... korean men are quite noisy. - right. / - do you know what i mean?

when they drink beer, they drink like this. "hey! drink!" they don't just say something is delicious. "wow! this is really good!" "order some more!" i think we need to be aware of that. - when women travel... / - were you embarrassed? their voice was really loud? jeong junha was really embarrassing.

why bring junha into this? i was really embarrassed by psy. - is psy like that? / - why? he's the ultimate ugly korean. - he's an international singer! / - why? his voice is really loud. - he always says "hey." / - he has a lot of energy. foreigners feel shocked. his looks are a little shocking too.

- he's surprising. / - right. anyway, the return to sing tour. - let's look at the second half. / - is there more? yes, there's more. please join us. let's go! are you off to sentosa? (break away from singapore city) (have a blast at sentosa island)

(a 10-minute ride to the entrance of sentosa island) - the door's opening. / - sentosa station. it really does sound like a temple. sentosa... that's right. (an island designed for entertainment and leisure) (you can enjoy rides and watersports) what is that? mango ice cream? it feels totally different to the city. it's a different world.

(ice cream in hand) - it's delicious. / - yes. we're on sentosa island now. it's my first time here! let's begin with this. let's ride. ride what? we came on the cable car. what else do we ride? let's ride a car.

go? - battle? / - loser pays for snacks. - snacks. / - snacks? okay. wait. you're a car racer. i'm not a racer. you're into racing, right? no. i just like cars. sangmin loves cars. go, go, go.

- iljung likes cars too. / - let's ride. (supercars come to singapore for the f1 grand prix) (car racing is all about pride) - what's that? / - that's... i have to go ahead like this. you know the f1 grand prix? - what? / - what is that? - geez. what is that? / - you shocked us. this was so much fun.

go forwards. one more time. - it looks like a bobsled. / - right. brakes. you pull to stop? - right. / - okay. this should be fun. (sangmin's view) oh, no. i started late.

(sangmin takes the lead) why is mine so slow? (the luge heads down quite fast) you're blocking my way! i'm keeping you in check. i went on a luge in a different country. it's great to ride them with your friends. you feel quite competitive. let's go. let's go along the track.

along the track. he's been overtaken! (iljung swiftly takes the lead) good, good. now, overtake. - he took the lead. / - inside track. (iljung has a slight lead) (at that moment!) (why's he touching his nose?)

he was touching his nose. - he activated his brakes. / - i let go... (maybe sangmin tickled him) your nose is itchy, right? - my nose was itchy. / - this kind of thing... it makes you feel competitive. overtake, overtake. break free. (they reach the finish line in 7 minutes)

the course is long. the course is quite long, right? it's pretty long. (he enters the inside) what's that? he's good. what's this? - you have to be careful. / - what's this? he was foolish and came after me.

- he should've gone next to me. / - he should've. i didn't know. fool! you should've gone next to me. why did you come behind me? why did i follow you? of course he can't win. he followed sangmin. you always follow him around. he's cute. - i didn't know. / - how cute.

i thought i was supposed to go there. he wasn't that good. let's ride again. this is so much fun. my nose was itchy in the middle. it stopped while i was touching my nose. this is really fun. - i like it. / - it's so much fun. kids can ride this too.

- you don't have any protection. / - wow. if you're scared of heights, you can't do it. - who has the brakes? / - i'm shaking. it's not scary. goodness. it has different courses. - what? / - there are several courses. dragon is the longest. - what? / - you have safety ropes, right?

- yes. / - that's why people can do it. - it looks scary. / - there's so much. that's scarier than the zip line. - you fall from above. / - let's take dragon. dragon. okay, let's do it. let's go with dragon. let's go to the toughest course. (that's how it began) (their extreme sports experience)

don't get scared. hang in there. (a dangerous situation) hang on tight. let's go now. isn't it low? i knew it. (they're cute) you had a great time together. is it the real thing now? (they put on their safety gear)

why am i going backwards? enjoy the ride, iljung. - why is it so fast? / - really? he's so fast. he's going down backwards. it must be terrifying. i don't think i should ride that. (it meets siloso beach) it looks fun. you ride over the beach. it's really cool.

you arrive at the beach. i bet he can do better the second time around. i don't think i would go back to ride it. - inside there... / - it looks hard. that feels so cool. (let me out) you look exhausted. it was a fight with myself. you must weigh a lot.

anything tastes good after swimming. even erasers taste good. i'll make you eat one then. the chicken's good. it's crispy. it's totally crunchy. when you use up a lot of energy, high calorie foods taste good. potato chips, hamburgers, chicken.

we shouldn't think about dieting here. we can run harder. the sun's showing again. already? it didn't rain very long. it's because it's a tropical region. sangmin, surfing! this is great. it looks real.

that looks much easier. that was fun. you can do that if you can't stand up. actually... you're supposed to ride on your knees. - out again? / - he has to stand up. you're supposed to spin on the water. i've never seen anyone fall that quickly even on a slow motion camera.

(return to sing tour's finale) (newton center to raffles place) i bet you fell ill when you arrived in korea. it's a 3-day program. if you increased that to 4 or 5 days... - it'd be comfortable. / - that's how it should be. they planned it like this to show you. (singapore extreme 5, 1-altitude)

(the highest rooftop bar in singapore) (you can look down on marina sands bay hotel) (cocktails cost $10 to $20) you should've told me to dress up. it's fine. my clothes... we'll be fine. we wore white on purpose. - to receive the lighting. / - fluorescent lighting.

i want to capture this. that's a great night view. (i want to go there) i'll remember the past 2 days forever. i can't believe we came to singapore like this. let's be happy! be happy! iljung, be happy in korea. you too!

- this is great. / - that was fun. it was great. you all fell in love. it was jam packed. i've been to singapore many times. - it was so packed. / - it felt different, right? it was totally different. we think of singapore as a shopping mecca. people go there to shop.

you didn't go shopping once. the places you visited were fantastic. it's a little unfortunate that iljung aged so much there. he still looks ill. - are you okay? / - i bet when you returned... - you fell ill. / - no, i was okay. i really recommend this trip to those who sleep well on the plane.

i totally recommend it. sleep on the night plane. you have to. that's what i'm like. you can save a lot of time. if i don't have much time but want to see a lot... i want to travel with sangmin. how much did it cost? excluding the airfare... around $415.

including the airfare, $1,000. - are you know, the airfare... / - it's expensive. if you reserve in advance, if it's cheap... you can buy tickets for $300 to $400. it can cost up to $500, $600 or $700. the airfare is up to you. okay. after seeing the trip to singapore, if you want to travel to singapore, please vote for them.

go to singapore or not go? please vote. (how will the 100 judges rate them?) they showed everything that men can do together, return to sing tour. how many people would pack to go to singapore? let's see the poll results. - why do i feel so nervous? / - i know. - the return to sing tour. / - i feel so nervous.

i think they'll score over 50. - not 100. / - the results? 82! - the results... / - i can guide... 82 votes. - is that a lot? / - that's a lot. - 82 votes. / - out of 100 people... - all but 18 people pressed. / - 82 people. (next time)

(the seventh battle trip) if we go to the top, it connects to russia... (this time, russia!) (thank you) here? i thought it was impressive. eagle lookout! (a trip recommended by travel planners) hold and tear. (good food is a must)

i won't miss a thing. (don't miss the next trip!)
