Nesting Eagle Web Cam

Thanks to Adam Brown, wildlife bioligist, who says:

You gotta check this out…so cool, a close-up video of a nesting, the camera is in the nest with it, Bald Eagle in Washington State:

Since I am sending along web cams…here is a seabird research camera that is used by colleagues of our with FWS…this site is right off the coast of San Fransisco…the birds aren’t there in huge numbers now, but in a month it will be teeming. You can see if we are living in the fog or not…

It appears that the Hornby Island bald eagle eggs are infertile. But another successful nest is in their place instead.

Drive through Paris @ 140mph Video

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted
a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a
friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed
through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons
to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre,
to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly
140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red
lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up
real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was
arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the
film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

So there is a good argument that society has a compelling interest in keeping house prices from getting too high. Reasonable prices allow young, middle-class families to buy a house without going into too much debt. They also let people live where they want.
