Background

Finnish Broadcasting Company and French television channel Arte had started to produce a documentary about the situation of seals and porpoises in Baltic Sea. The documentary was supposed to deal among other things with the effect of global warming to these animals.

When the commission editors saw the rough-cut of the film they were shocked and stated that not even a second of the material was usable. They stated that “use of shock images and shock music” is absolutely not allowed in nature documentaries that are meant for family audiences and according to them the audience is not interested to see the damage people are causing to environment.

Because of the reaction from commission editors any use of the edition was strictly prohibited, the production ran out of money and was never finished.

These 4 clips from the rough-cut are the only evidence left of this massive film production.

The Opening

This opening scene introduces the situation of the seals when they have to (because of the lack of ice) give birth on land and the baby seals are in great danger to get sick, die and get eaten in the first days of their lives.

Scubagran part of my Whanau in Paihia found it first

When the Ninja finds it , he should look at this Travian

Bleep Bleep , goes the alarm , 1600 , up and at ’em.

After taking over 2 1/2 hours to get home on my first shift back at work. Bleurgh !!

Oh well , quick slurp of coffee , a quick check on Travian.

Damn you Yoda.

But it does help pass the time at work , just got to get the wheat field up a level to get my Grain Mill , just got to get my Barracks up to 23 notches , just got to get a Residence tonight , just got to get city wall up some notches and finally just got to get my Warehouse level up.

So not much then.

Thanks to the lovely Fee , she’s had to resolve this whole sorry affair , I have binned Farce Hosts , absolutely useless in the resolution from start to finish.

I would not recommend them to anyone I know.

I just have to try and get everything up and running and get all my links n stuff back into play.

For some reason or other it’s not showing my themes up and even though it’s the latest version of WordPress on the server , it keeps saying I need to update , so something is not there just yet.

But at least it’s back.

I have emailed some of you re the reopening of Naive Zebra , so who will be the first here , I wonder ?

Bloggar has been configured , so even that works grand.

Things looking up , but I’m sure something will go awry it always does.

Bit of pain downstairs today of all days.

Got to to go back into MetHell today , it’s not the place I miss one iota , it’s some of the people there.

Things on the agenda for me , find a bloody NHS Dentist , I almost fell over when I went to the nearest on to to me to be told that to have 2 Crowns and a filling , wait for it £1130 , that’s almost three months mortgage.

Sadly there is a failing in the NHS over her , the amount of NHS dentists is on the decline if you can find one at all , but that’s a hell of a price to pay for going to the dentist having lost and swallowed your fillings.
