Who Says You Can’t Hunt in Brazil?

by Johnnie Hudman
Who Says You Can’t Hunt in Brazil?

People have the misconception that those of us in the hunting business just travel from one exotic location to another on great hunting trips. That is not all there is to this occupation. All lot of behind the scenes work goes into making all this come together. When you’re an outfitter there’s worry, stress and unexpected situations over which you have no control. Even as much as we love the hunting, the outdoors, the people we meet and the places it takes us, once in awhile, we all need to “get away.”

Case in point, I just returned from a 10-day trip to the Amazon region of Brazil. Since there is ZERO hunting in Brazil, I decided to take one for the team and go on a fishing trip instead. I justified this in my mind by telling myself I was hunting for a big Peacock bass. It seemed to work because I had a fantastic time going after the aggressive monster Peacocks.

Just being able to see this beautiful part of the earth is worth the trip. One fifth of the world’s fresh water is in this region. The adventure begins in Manaus, Brazil, the capitol of the state of Amazonas. Manaus was the old rubber capital and still has the European influence in the architecture and the language spoken there which is Portuguese. This is where the Amazon River and the Rio Negro River come together and push toward the ocean, still hundreds of miles away.

The Amazon looks like coffee with a lot of cream in it. The Rio Negro is clear and looks black, thus the name. The tannins in the Rio Negro make the water look like ice tea. It is beautiful as it flows over the sugar white sands on the beaches and sand bars. The water has enough acid produced by the decaying vegetation so that mosquito larva cannot live in it. This is a huge plus for fishermen who seek this adventure. If one ventures into the jungle a few yards, everything changes as the pools up in the forest are perfect for mosquitoes. It doesn’t take a minute to learn that lesson! So I like to stay out on the bigger tributaries.

A short charter flight takes adventurous fishermen from Manaus to Barcelos, the old capital of Amazonas. This is city of approximately 25,000 people. We were told the city is 360-plus years old. Barcelos is also the tropical fish capitol of the world. It is said that there are 2,500 species of fish in these waters. I have personally seen tetras, angelfish, Oscars, and many other fish you would normally see in aquariums back home.

There are dozens of different hardwood trees and a myriad of other trees, vines, and other vegetation that make up the thousands of square miles of rain forest. There are no roads to Barcelos. It is reachable by boat or by air. Once you leave the docks there, you will not see any industry or roads. All you see is the occasional village along the river. The people are very friendly and are always glad for you to stop in. They make baskets and necklaces and are eager to trade.

At Barcelos, we took a ten-minute van ride to the awaiting yacht. Wow! It’s a 125-foot aluminum hull beauty. We boarded and after a short orientation from Sheldon, who speaks perfect English, we went to our staterooms. Two guests per stateroom. Side by side beds, not bunk beds were a welcome sight. Private baths were nice also. We ate a fast lunch and took the brand new Bass Tracker bass boats to check out the Peacock bass.

The Peacock is not really a bass; it is a ciclid, but you use some of the same tactics in the effort to put them in the boat. They are structure-oriented fish and will almost always head for cover when hooked. One of the main differences is in the equipment. Captain Peacock furnishes the rod and reel. All TFO rods and Shimano 200 or 300 reels. There are also fly rods and reels available. We used 80-pound test braided line. Believe it or not, these fish will break lighter line.

The explosion when they hit a lure is like no other fish I have ever come in contact with. I like to fish topwater for the excitement of the hit, but you can almost always catch more Peacocks trolling a jig or a fly. With the huge topwater baits, you weed out a lot of the smaller fish, catching bigger fish more consistently.

Another thing about trolling is that you also attract lots of piranha. They are very hard on lures. They bite off the skirts and the tails. Sometimes they swallow the bait and cut the line above the lure and you lose it. They are however, fun to catch and better to eat. We ate Peacock bass, piranha, and catfish while we were there. Very tasty. We had a gourmet chef on board and the food was fantastic for the entire trip.

I caught quite a few Peacocks, my biggest being 17 pounds. I also went for catfish one afternoon. I landed a 30-pounder on a deep sea rig with 150 pound test line. We used cut, freshwater barracuda for bait. These catfish can weigh up to 600 pounds, but I have never seen one landed that weighed more than 90 pounds, however, I have seen plenty of hooks straightened and lines broken.

This is a great trip. It is a good way to experience the Amazon rain forest—an unspoiled area that has been unchanged for hundreds of years. On my “hunt,” I saw many parrots, macaws, and other birds—as there are more than 1,000 species of birds in this region. Also saw river otters, caiman, monkeys, dolphins—both gray and pink. My choice of hunting tool for these was a Nikon D5000. We didn’t have as much sunshine as I have seen down there on previous trips. The rainy season is starting a little early this year. We saw rain almost every day. You still need some good sunscreen, spf45 or higher.

I can’t wait to go back. It is a wonderful place to visit and the fishing is good. I may not ever break my personal record of 24.03 pounds for a Peacock, but it won’t be for lack of trying. I know there is one there somewhere with my name on it. Who says you can’t hunt in Brazil?

If you want to try this adventure for yourself, Captain Peacock is the team with which to book your trip. Fantastic. Every need is covered in comfort.

    Just a tip: you don´t need to go to the Amazon to go fishing in Brazil. There are some good spots for fishing in the Pantanal region, a known touristic spot. The rivers Tiete, Paranapanema, Grande, Paraná, São Francisco among others(All of them in the South and in the Southeast) offers good options for fishing, and they are relatively close to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

buying a 78 (Nov. 6, 2006)

Current mood: surprised

My son has taken to playing "We'll Meet Again" on the ukulele incessantly for the past few days. The song was a huge hit for Benny Goodman in the 1940s. Since my daughter is also very much into the clarinet at the moment, I thought it would be trés cool if I could play for them the original 78 rpm record featuring Benny, with vocals by a very young Peggy ("Is That All There Is?" and "[Gimme] Fever") Lee.

Alas, my extensive 78s collection was missing that precious recording! Horrors! (Doesn't everyone have thousands of 78s in the house, with a 78rpm-capable phonograph or two sitting at the ready?)

Armed with knowledge of that void, and finding myself in my local used record shop this morning, I decided I'd get them a "just because" present and see if I could find that 78.

I stroll in and make a beeline to the 78s department. The shop used to be a nightclub, and the 78s occupy what was once the stage. The lights are normally off, since so few people peruse 78s. They're arranged in no order at all -- literally stacks of disks, easily 10,000 -- not separated by genre, artist, decade, or even size of disk. Most don't have envelopes, though usually the labels are readable. Yes, you can turn the lights on. I didn't bother.

I hadn't a hope of finding that record, let alone expectation that I might get out of there in less than three hours. Imagine trying to find a friend's house "somewhere within 10 miles" without address, directions, or a description of the house. (I was on foot, and every 78 weighs half a pound, so that somewhat limited what I could carry out of there.)

Nevertheless, I started flipping through a stack of 10" shellac disks. I doubt I touched 75 records, maybe not even 50. Bingo, there it was! It couldn't have taken me two minutes.

Fifty cents.

I bought a Peggy Lee LP to go along with it. (Do I really have to explain what an LP is?)

[Side note to MySpace: The "Tell us what you're ... listening to" does not very well accommodate those of us who listen to 65-year-old records on 50-year-old equipment.]

Have The Best Day Of Your Life.

As I propped my bike against the window of Mr.Movie and approached the door with my movies in hand,  I heard "so, did we like our movies?"Friday Night

I popped one movie into the return slot and replied "one was great, one blew."

I turned my head and saw a guy in his early 30s wearing a Dominion apron with his black coat over top, and bringing a cigarette up to his mouth.

He took a puff and reached for the door, "we should get our money back," he said.

"It’s okay, they warned me and I promised not to complain if I didn’t like it."  I replied and put the next movie into the slot.

"How much do they cost?" he continued.

"About five bucks each," I said, starting to get back on my bike, "but they have an excellect selection including . Which is too highbrow for me but my friends really like it."

"Ah, well that’s okay then," he said taking another drag from his smoke.

I pulled away from the store and said "well, bye.  Have a great day".

"You too", he replied. "Have the best day of your life."

[edited later in the day when I had a bit more time.]

    For those of you wondering – we rented Idiocracy (movie) and Extras (Britcom series).
    Can you guess which was great and which blew?

  • March 27, 2007 at 6:29 pm

    Wouldn’t it be awful to know that today was the best day of your life? I mean, no matter how amazing a day it was you would never have a day as good again.

  • March 27, 2007 at 6:31 pm

    the day would have to be pretty spectacular – and I’m talking satisfying multiple life long dreams in under 24 hours with some wonderful surprises thrown in as sprinkles on top kind of spectacular – for that to be even remotely acceptable.
    On the flip side, it would rock to know that today is the worst day of my life. (I’m not sure how it could go back and fix those ones before, but I’m completely open to that if who ever’s in charge just happens to be listening.)

  • March 28, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    I presume that the items in the photo (DVDs, pizza, wine, etc.) are associated with watching “our movies”. Would they also be included in the Best Day of Your Life? If you could plan it, I mean.

  • March 28, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    In truth Rohan, this was the only photo with Mr. Movie’s logo in it I had and was taken months ago on another movie night. Though wine and pizza are the usual trappings of a Friday movie night.
    I think the official Best Day of My Life would have to include wine – red wine – free flowing red wine that I could keep drinking and savouring without getting more than mildly impared.
    However I think I’d skip the movies and the pizza. The movie would be swapped with swimming.
    The pizza would be substitued with a multi-course dinner served al fresco on the island overlooking the river. Around the long wooden table would be a collection of smart, playful and interesting people who laugh easily. The monk’s hood would be in bloom and the wind would be gentle.
    Yes, I have the exact placement of the table mapped out, and I’ve started the guest list. You & Yvonne are on it.
    I don’t know what the rest of the day would entail, but that meal would certainly consume the entire evening.

  • March 30, 2007 at 8:37 am

    have the best day of your life
    means it was better than yesterdays
    but not necessarily better yet than tomorrows
    if this continued daily
    this best day of my life
    ad infinitum
    when would the explosion occur?
    i love this story
    thanks lex

Film festival award for University of Northampton student’s spooky short

Chris Anderson is pictured at Film Northants awards with Charlotte Carne, who played the lead role in The Presence.

A scary short film by movie-makers from the University of Northampton found favour with the public when it was premiered on the silver screen.

Horror flick The Presence, by third year BA Media Production and Moving Image students Chris Anderson and Aaron Freeman, plus Tom Walder, who has completed an HND in Digital Film Production, was runner-up in the Public Vote category at the Film Northants awards.

The eerie five-minute ghost tale was picked out by cinema-goers from around 40 productions screened during the festival, which was held at Northampton’s Errol Flynn Filmhouse on October 10 and 11.

“It was an amazing experience to watch my film on a cinema screen,” said Chris, who wrote, directed and produced the film – and also oversaw the casting of professional actors and the hunt for locations across Northamptonshire.

“I was happy with the final cut, but you never really know how it will translate to the big screen and it seemed to go down very well with the festival audience – with a few jumping with fright in the right places, so it did its job.

“The festival showcased how much talented film-makers there are around the county, so to have my film endorsed by the public is a huge honour.”

Chris’s course-mates Tom and Aaron played an instrumental role in the making of The Presence, working on the editing, storyline, cameras and sound.

“I can’t thank Tom and Aaron enough for their work on the film, which was two months in the making and really seemed to take over our lives, but the buzz we had when we were shooting was incredible” said Chris.

“I actually enrolled onto my degree with the intention of focussing on script-writing, but the course also covers directing, producing and using the cameras and now I want to pursue film-making for a career.

“I’d like to specialise in short films, and also work in television – to receive the Public Vote runner-up award has really helped to spur me on and follow my ambition.”

Tim Coley, Senior Lecturer in Video Production at the University, said: “The beauty of short films is that film-makers can illustrate their breadth of talent in an exceptionally small amount of time – Chris’s The Presence is a perfect example of a film that exhibits great camera and lighting skills as well as reflecting his talent in directing.

“The Media Production degree’s Short Film Production module now feeds directly into the Film Northants festival, ensuring an audience for students’ work, as well as providing a calling card for making industry contacts.”

The Presence can be viewed on YouTube:

FYI: 4th Cir Rejects Challenge to Consumer Plaintiffs Lawyers' Solicitations Under Litigation Exception to DPPA

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit recently upheld a summary judgment ruling in favor of a group of consumer plaintiffs lawyers, holding that(1) letters sent by the lawyers to prospective consumer plaintiffs in a related lawsuit were impermissible "solicitations" under the federal Driver Privacy Protection Act; but  (2) the solicitations were so closely intertwined with, and integral to, the litigation that obtaining plaintiffs' personal identifying information was permissible as a litigation exception under the DPPA.
A copy of the opinion is available at:
Plaintiffs-appellants ("Car Buyers") filed a putative class-action complaint against a number of attorneys ("Lawyers") under the federal Driver Privacy Protection Act of 1994 ("DPPA"), claiming that certain mailings they received from the Lawyers violated that DPPA.
The complaint alleged that, during the course of investigating potential claims and pursuing a group-action lawsuit against various car dealerships for alleged deceptive practices in supposed violation of a South Carolina consumer protection law ("Dealers Act"), the Lawyers had sought and unlawfully obtained personal information about the Car Buyers from South Carolina's Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") under the state Freedom of Information Act.
The Car Buyers alleged that the Lawyers had impermissibly obtained and used protected personal information about their car purchases, addresses, and telephone numbers for purposes of lawyer advertising and solicitation. The Car Buyers sought liquidated, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a permanent injunction under the DPPA.
The Lawyers countered that they had obtained the Car Buyers' personal information properly under the litigation exception to the DPPA, as they were investigating additional potential claims related to the ongoing Dealers Act litigation.  Moreover, the Lawyers also asserted that because they had acted as "private attorneys general" in the Dealers Act litigation, the "state action" exception also applied to their requests for information to the DMV.
The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Lawyers and dismissed the claims with prejudice, ruling that the Lawyers had not engaged in prohibited solicitation, but that even if they had engaged in solicitation, the Lawyers' conduct satisfied the litigation and state action exceptions to the DPPA's prohibitions and was therefore lawful.  The lower court reasoned that the Lawyers' conduct was analogous to that of a state attorney in the related Dealers Act litigation and thus constituted an "investigation in anticipation of litigation" or a permitted use "in connection with [a] civil . . . proceeding."
The Car Buyers appealed, and the Fourth Circuit affirmed on slightly different grounds.
As you may recall, the DPPA prohibits any person from knowingly obtaining or disclosing "personal information" such as social security numbers, telephone numbers, and addresses from state DMVs "for any use not permitted" under the DPPA.  18 U.S.C. § 2722.   The DPPA in turn permits the disclosure of personal information for purposes of bulk distribution for surveys, marketing or solicitations, provided the person to whom the information pertains has given his express consent to the state.  18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)(12).  Moreover, the DPPA's "litigation exception" permits a state DMV to disclose personal information of drivers and car owners for use "in connection with" litigation, including civil or criminal actions.  18 U.S.C. §2721(b)(4).  Further, under the "state action" exception, a private person acting on behalf of a federal, state or local agency, may obtain such information from a DMV.  18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)(1).
In analyzing whether the Lawyers had engaged in "solicitation" in violation of the DPPA, the Fourth Circuit applied a "consumer-protective objective standard" and noted in part that the letters sent to the Car Buyers described the letters as "advertising material."   According to the Court, a reasonable recipient would thus understand such material to be a lawyer's solicitation for business.
The Court further noted that the letters encouraged recipients to respond to the Lawyers to learn about their rights in the Dealers Act litigation and to "participate in the case" but made no mention that the recipients' interests may have already been represented in that group-action litigation.  Looking at the various factors, the Fourth Circuit agreed with the Car Buyers and ruled that the letters were improper solicitations under the DPPA.
However, the Fourth Circuit rejected the Car Buyers' argument that any impermissible use of personal information, such as the solicitations in this case, would automatically be a violation of the DPPA.  In so ruling, the Court adopted the persuasive reasoning of the Eleventh Circuit in Rine v. Imagitas, Inc., 590 F.3d 1215 (11 Cir. 2009), which held that overlapping provisions of the DPPA must be given effect, unless they are completely at odds, and that non-consensual solicitation inextricably intertwined with the state-action exception is not actionable.  See also Thomas  v. George, Hartz, Lundeen, Fulmer, Johnstone, King & Stevens, P.A., 525 F.3d 1107(11th Cir. 2008)(lawyer's purported prohibited solicitation was tied to  investigation in anticipation of litigation).
Consistent with the Eleventh Circuit's reasoning, the Court agreed that full effect should be given to the permissive use protected by the litigation exception and that to hold otherwise would be an unreasonable reading of the DPPA.
Accordingly, under the facts and circumstances in this case, the Fourth Circuit ruled that the solicitation was not actionable by the Car Buyers, because "under the pragmatic approach to the litigation exception," the Lawyers had to first engage in the solicitation in order to make appropriate use of the personal information in the Dealers Act litigation, and such use was integral to and inextricably intertwined with conduct permitted pursuant to the litigation exception.
Finally, the Fourth Circuit also rejected the Car Buyers' assertion that the district court had engaged in procedural impropriety by taking judicial notice of the documents associated with the Dealers Act litigation that the Lawyers had attached to their pleadings.  The Court pointed out that the lower court had taken judicial notice of the materials, not for the facts asserted therein, but as evidence of the intended and actual use of the Car Buyers' personal information.

FYI: 9th Cir Rejects Challenge to Overlimit and Late Fees Alleging Violation Constitutional Punitive Damages Limitations

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently affirmed a district court's dismissal of a consumer class action that challenged credit card overlimit and late fees as prohibited by constitutional limits on punitive damages.  The Ninth Circuit held that the overlimit and late fees were permissible under the National Bank Act and the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, and that substantive due process arguments do not apply to private contractual penalties such as credit card penalty fees.

The Court's opinion can be found at http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2014/01/21/08-15218.pdf.

A group of consumers challenged credit card overlimit and late fees on constitutional grounds.  The consumers contended that those fees were analogous to punitive damages in the tort context and thus subject to the substantive due process limits set forth by the Supreme Court in BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559 (1996).  The Ninth Circuit characterized its task as determining "whether substantive due process so constrains credit card fees."

The class consisted of credit card holders who had contracts with issuers of consumer credit cards.  The consumers alleged that the overlimit and late fees vastly exceeded the harm the issuers actually suffered as a result of the consumers exceeding their limit or making late payments.

The consumers' complaint raised ten causes of action.  The claims at issue before the Ninth Circuit were that the overlimit and late fees violated the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 85-86 ("NBA"), and the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1834d(a) ("DIDMCA") because, according to the consumers, the NBA and DIDMCA did not authorize fees that constitute unconstitutionally excessive punitive damages.  The appeal also addressed the consumers' allegation that the fees violated California's Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17200 et seq. ("UCL").

The Ninth Circuit analyzed the statutory framework of the NBA and DIDMCA, and confirmed that under both statutes the card issuers had the right to (i) "export" interest rates by charging the rates permitted by the state in which the card issuers were located, even if the consumer resided in a different state with more consumer-friendly regulations and (ii) charge overlimit and late fees as long as the fees were legal in the card issuers' home state.

The consumers argued that the fees were unconstitutional because they violated the principle established by the Supreme Court in Gore that an award of punitive damages many times greater than the compensatory damage award will "raise a suspicious eyebrow."

In providing its substantive analysis of the consumers' claims, the Ninth Circuit recognized the issue involved the distinction between liquidated damages provisions, which are generally enforceable, and punitive damages provisions, which are generally unenforceable, in contracts.

The Court defined liquidated damages as "a predetermined sum which a party to a contract agrees to pay in the event of his breach" and determined that liquidated damages provisions are enforceable "if the damages flowing from the breach are likely to be difficult to ascertain or prove at the time of the agreement and the liquidated sum represents a good faith effort by the parties to appraise the benefit of the bargain."  Unenforceable punitive damage provisions, on the other hand, are defined as where "a party agrees to pay a sum in the event of a breach, but which is designed not to estimate probable actual damages but to punish the breaching party or coerce his performance."

The Ninth Circuit further concluded that punitive damages are generally not recoverable for breach of contracts and generally not allowed without an award of actual damages.  The Ninth Circuit also acknowledged, however, that "to the extent punitive damages are permitted in contract actions, such an award is subject to the limitations of the federal Constitution."

Applying these recognized principles to the consumers' argument that the high penalty interest rates properly compensated the credit card issuers and the overlimit and late fees constituted "double-dipping," the Ninth Circuit concluded that the fees at issue originated from a private contract, not a jury-determined punitive damage, thus distinguishing the circumstances from those in Gore.

Because the fees at issue were purely contractual, the Ninth Circuit concluded they were not subject to constitutional due process analysis.  As to the claim under the California UCL, the Ninth Circuit held that the UCL created a cause of action for the violation of other state and federal laws.  And because the Ninth Circuit concluded that the card issuers' conduct did not violate the NBA or the DIDMCA, there was no derivative liability under the UCL.  Thus, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the consumers' action for failure to state a claim.

Today JagWire won the Best in Show award for newspaper for our Oral Sex issue at yesterday's WJEA conference. I'm not sure what to make of it, and I left the conference feeling somewhat deflated. The kids were excited, as they should be, however I only know that I'm likely to suffer some sort of reprimand or negative feedback in my file. It is difficult when the journalism side of things is being honored, yet I'm being hung on the judgment/process side of the paper. There were no procedures to follow, no mechanisms in place to take questions or concerns, but I'm being held responsible. This is not so good.

University Life

University jobs are sweet! Here are the features of the job at the University of Suwon that I just applied for:
  • Furnished 1 bedroom apartment OR 400,000 Won allowance
  • 1.9-2.1 million Won monthly salary
  • 20 hours of teaching 4 days a week
  • additional middle-school or high school classes possible but additional pay comes with the territory
  • 5 weeks of holiday each semester (10 weeks annually)
  • a 3 week camp in the winter and summer with elementary kids (additional pay applies)
  • health plan
  • return flight from your country of origin
  • 1 month's salary bonus at the completion of your contract
Compare this to my present school's contract:
  • Furnished 4 bedroom apartment (no choices)
  • 1.9-2 million won
  • 30 hours of teaching 5 days a week must come to work 9am can't leave before 6pm
  • 2 weeks of holidays annually
  • medical costs are shared 50/50 with the boss
  • return flight from your country of origin
  • 1 month's salary bonus
Unfortunately University jobs are not as easy to land since there are heaps more hagwons than Universities. All the same try to land a University job, many have better working conditions than the University of Suwon. Start looking through Dave's ESL Cafe -- Universities start new contracts March 1st, 2006!

Even though the weather was causing up a stir on opening night of Bloomin Fest Temple 2013, American Idol's Savannah Votion performed on stage just before the down pour hit downtown Temple on Friday night.

With staff meteorologist Bill Hecke keeping an eye on the sever weather, event organizers were able to get Savannah Votion on stage to perform a few songs before the weather rolled in. Savannah performed in front of hundreds of Tejano fans that braved the severe weather warning and were not disappointed in the great Tejano music that flowed from this up and coming artist from San Antonio.

After the performance I was able to speak with Savannah backstage about American Idol and what is on the horizon for this new Tejano artist. Listen to the audio below.

Twenty-first century statecraft, they say, is about “smart power”, the effective leveraging of both hard and soft power.

The India-Pakistan conflict has sadly spilled into the cultural realm, attenuating forces that provide the little glimmer of hope for an integrated, peaceful and prosperous South Asia: culture, arts, music, movies, and people-to-people relations.

A Delightful Tour of Classic Art!

Laurie Vincent loves a juicy story with interesting characters, spiced up with sex, some suspense and of course, humor, and so are her books. I am thrilled to find her review of my art book, Inspired by Art: Fall of a Giant:

on February 27, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
I have had the pleasure to enjoy the stunning art collection Uvi Poznansky has compiled of David & Goliath, and would absolutely recommend this masterpiece to anyone who has a fine appreciation for historical art. Uvi presents her material in a lovely manner, as though giving us a personal tour in museum, commenting on each piece with delightful knowledge. Uvi is very passionate about her love of these paintings, and her enthusiasm is addictive. You, too, will appreciate the quality of this impressive work, and also feel inspired. Thank you for sharing this outstanding collection, Uvi, and reminding us how art can enrich our lives. I highly recommend this fabulous book to anyone -- both those who are already fans and a treat to those, like myself, who was thrilled to discover it.

The most detailed description of the early Malay kingdom of Langkasuka is found in the Liang-shu, a Chinese history written in the early seventh century. Referred to as Lang-ya-hsiu, Langkasuka’s frontiers were described as thirty days’ journey from east to west, and twenty from north to south. Its capital was said to be surrounded by walls to form a city with double gates, towers and pavilions.

“When the king goes forth he rides upon an elephant. He is accompanied by banners, fly-whisks, flags and drums and he is shaded with a white parasol. The soldiers of his guard are well-appointed. The inhabitants of the country say that their state was founded more than four hundred years ago. Subsequently the descendants became weaker, but in the king’s household there was a man of virtue to whom the populace turned. When the king heard of this he imprisoned this man, but his chains snapped unaccountably. The king took him for a supernatural being and, not daring to injure him, exiled him from the country, where upon he fled to India. The king of India gave him his eldest daughter in marriage. Not long afterwards, when the king of died, the chief ministers welcomed back the exile and made him king.”

This account, and that of other Chinese histories, describe a kingdom that began in the second century A.D., located somewhere along the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. The most important piece of evidence as to its location is provided by the Wu-pei-chih, which firmly places a Lang-hsi-chia to the south of Songkla (Singora), up to the Patani River.

Early Malay literature, however, is quite explicit in indicating a location on the west coast. From the Hikayat Marong Mahawangsa (a king who is said to have sailed from India) we can extract the following relevant passages:

Then King Marong Maha-Wangsa asked an old wise man in his ship, who answered, ‘That large island, almost touching the mainland, is Pulau Seri, the small one is Pulau Jambul, and further landwards from there is Pulau Lada, my lord’. Then King Marong Mahawangsa said, ‘Let us land at the cape of that island’.

King Marong Mahawangsa came upon good land, very beautifully situated. He did not return to his ships, so eager was he to build a fort and a hall, very large and beautiful. When the palace hall was completed, he called it Langkasuka. The city, grew more and more populous from month to month and from year to year … One day King Marong Mahawangsa was granting audience to great numbers of ministers, courtiers, commanders, chamberlains, pages and officials, who were all crowded into his palace hall Langkasuka… Then King Marong Mahawangsa said to the Roman envoys, ‘I have installed my son as King. Now we should give our country a name’ … ‘We shall name this our country Kedah Zamin Duran’ … King Marong Mahawangsa saw how Pulau Lada had joined the mainland, finally being called Bukit Lada, just as Pulau Jambul was finally called Bukit Jambul. Pulau Seri was almost joined to the mainland and was eventually called Gunong Jerai on account of its height.’

Thereupon King Marong Mahapodisat [son of Mahawangsa] made his son mount the elephant Gemala Johari … The elephant raised its head and set off towards the rising sun, accompanied by the ministers, commanders and soldiers. They entered a vast forest; later a plain came into sight. The King, on the elephant Gemala Johari, crossed several hills and mountains. After some time, when they had almost reached the sea, they came upon a great river flowing into the sea. On that plain the elephant Gemala Johari stopped.

The princess-consort said, ‘Go back to Kedah, to my royal father, and tell him that this is the country called Patani’ … Now King Sari Mahawangsa did not wish to stay at Langkasuka as it was very far from the sea. So he ordered his four ministers to gather lime and mussel-shells with which to build a fortress downstream, for the river was big and wide, broadening out and with a very swift current. The ministers carried out the royal command. King Sari Mahawangsa unceasingly visited the downstream area where the moated fortress was to be built. Upstream in that area he built a small palace called Sirukum.”

It is clear from these passages that Langkasuka has passed into Malay folklore as a west-coast kingdom, the predecessor of modern Kedah, with its capital at the foot of Gunong Jerai. The evident association of its rulers with Patani “beyond the forests and hills” may suggest a kingdom that spanned the peninsular to the east coast, where most of the Chinese accounts place Langkasuka. It is evident that the fortunes of Langkasuka ebbed and flowed with that of its larger neighbours. It seems to have entered a decline when it was conquered by the Funan Empire of Cambodia between the third and sixth century. It then experienced a resurgence after the fall of Funan, only to succumb to the Sri Vijaya Empire some time in ninth century.

Indian and Javanese texts also suggest a western kingdom. Ilangasoka is named as one of Rajendra Chola’s conquests in his expedition against the Srivijaya Empire, described as a kingdom that that was “undaunted in fierce battles”. The Majapahit epic of 1365, the Nagarakartagama, described Lengkasuka as a west coast state subject to the overlordship of Majaphit (though it is more likely that, at the time, Langkasuka was part of the territory of Majaphit’s arch-enemy Sri Vijaya). Langkasuka then mysteriously disappears from written history – leaving only a legendary name to peasant mythology. The spirit land of Lakawn Suka still features in the mythology of Patani Malays, while Kedah peasant folklore interpret the realm of Alang-kah-suka as the domain of the fairy princess Puteri Sadong, ‘who rules over the Little People and wild goats of the limestone hills, and persistently refuses all suitors, be they never so highborn or otherwise eligible”.

Finally, when it had been erased from the map of the peninsula after some many centuries, the name ‘Langkasuka’ again appeared in our history when it was mooted by our founding fathers as a possible name for independent Malaya.

If it works out, then I am happy for you, if it does not work out, then please publish tales of your failed holiday romance with Turkish men somewhere else than the internet.

Learning about the culture and traditions Photos from around Turkey Meeting people from around the country Hi.

I don’t want to read your blog, like your Facebook page or meet you on a forum.

Stereotyping the whole male race of a nation simply because of your failed holiday romance is OTT and on the verge of bunny boiling.

They start free blogs slating off every Turkish man they know and then join numerous amounts of forums to declare to the world that all Turkish men are sleazeballs and should never be trusted.

Yes, his mother will always come before you, get over it!From today, I am sending out a strong message to all women travelers or tourists.Do not get involved in a holiday romance with a Turkish man simply because you can not handle it.Any man can have an affair even if he lives in the same house as you, so why do you think he is going to be honest when he lives in a different country?

If you are dating one of the many Turkish men who break women’s hearts, then don’t call him the love of your life when you live in two different countries.Under his leadership, a Manual of School Uniforms was developed and circulated to every school district in the US.

The Royal Flush

Compared to the disaster that was last weekend, this weekend was a breeze. Not once did I feel inclined to rock in fetal position while listening to James Blunt, hahaha. I decided to put my recluse ways behind me and immerse myself, somewhat, back into society.

The highlight of my weekend however, was how I kicked garo/a*s in poker yesterday evening. Contrary to what I told The Blonde Blogshell, it turns out I’m not such a shite poker player after all.

The General & GG hosted the mini-poker tournament at their casa that was attended by themselves, moi, The Godfather, Flash and Fattie*. We were all novices at the game, but after a few “warm-up” rounds, the tension began mounting as the game took a turn for the intense. Fattie and I were holding our own amongst the boys and even though I lost half her chips (eish, sorry hun), the sisterhood still held strong.

I managed to win a few hands with some impressive hands, a Full House & a Straight and I came third out of the six of us playing. The Godfather played it cool, virtually unreadable the whole nite he added the spice with raising ridiculous bets which were usually backed up with equally ridiculous cards (a pair of lovely Aces blessed him at least twice during the whole game). However, it was Flash who I dubbed The Comeback Kid coz when he was down to about 3 poker chips, he managed to win the pot and wage a war against The Godfather who he ultimately thumped.

I really don’t need another vice to add to my growing list but I’m beginning to suspect that Poker is going to right up there with my penchant for trashy novels.

Weekend Highlights

- Spending time in great company.
- Meeting up with S who I hadn’t seen since varsity days when were running riot in the streets of Rondies and the like;
- Gorging myself on hot chocolate, Earl Grey tea, the most decadent choc cake and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many Marie biscuits to count;
- Being a bad-a*s poker play (yes, I am tooting my own horn)
- Catching up on loads of sleep.

Weekend Lowlights

- Missing 95% of the movie, “Perfect Stranger” because I was concussed from the sugar rush I’d suffered at the hands of the choc cake and all things sugary.

Fattie (pronounced: Fair-Tea) is actually one of the skinniest chicks I know!

The Blonde Blogshell said...

Well done at Poker -it's one hell of a game hey?
You just made me crave chocolate cake and I'm trying to remember the last time I had marie are evil :-) ha ha ha!!

Vimbai said...

Blonde Blogshell: The choc cake was DIVINE mate, divine! Life's too short to deprive yourself of all things sugary, just make sure you make up for it with some hectic cardio!

Gwai said...

One would just like to point out that is was I that was victorious, me, me, me. Well played el Godfather. Tomorrow is another day. . .

Gwai said...

Fettie: Fey-e-tie

Vimbai said...

Gwai: lol, whatever makes you sleep well at nite hun!

Fettie: Sorry kani, i will spell it properly in future :-)

Wazzie said...

Wazzie said...

Charles Reutlinger (1819 – 1881)

Charles Reutlinger (1819 – 1881) was, born as Carl Reutlinger. was one of the very first photographers.

He photographed many of the best-known artists, scientists, musicians and writers of his time. This elite group of photographers had studios on the boulevards à.la.mode, with photographs featured in the most prestigious newspapers and magazines, included the first society of “La Illustration”, a weekly journal that catered to the concerns of the upper echelon of society.

Among these photographers were Gustave Gray, Eugene Disdéri, and the studio of Bertsch and Arnaud.
Around 1850 Charles founded the Reutlinger Studio, in 1880, Charles became ill and decided to turn his studio over to his brother Emile. Prior to his death in 1881, Charles Reutlinger was awarded many distinguishable credits. His brother, Emile, ran the studio until 1890, with little credits to his name.
Charles Reutlinger is most famous nowadays for his photographs of the rich and famous,but I found some very interesting shoots that can be seen as early fetish as well.

I hope you enjoy these albums, it took me some time to collect them.
