All of them are framed similarly by the recent unearthing of a mass grave from a city cemetery. They all tell some variation of the elevator incident that was the excuse for the racist white mob to jealously destroy the richest black neighborhood in the country--the so-called "Black Wall Street"--and slay dozens to hundreds of its residents. Each documentary, however, excels to varying degrees in approaching the tragedy from a different perspective. And the History Channel's "Tulsa Burning: The Race Massacre" accomplished the most straightforward history, as the name of the channel and doc would suggest, on the massacre--getting into the details of what exactly happened when and who was involved, including an especially interesting contrast between the city's white and African-American newspapers and how government from local authorities to the National Guard participated in the racial violence.

As for this newest documentary, then, it's certainly the scarcest as far as detailing the Tulsa riot, which is fine for me given that I've already seen three other docs on it, as well as HBO's "Watchmen" series.

Instead, Tulsa is placed within the larger context of race massacres that occurred throughout the country, particularly the "Red Summer" of Thus, almost as much time is spent here in Elain, Arkansas, where the Governor himself hunted for African Americans fleeing the white mob and where federal troops participated in the killing of them as well, or in the nation's capital where African Americans rather successfully fought back after police refused to intervene, and in Chicago, which resulted in a report advocating an equality that may to this day seem elusive and on which note this documentary concludes.

All of which, however, barely scratches the surface even of just the Red Summer, let alone any one race massacre. A Ken Burns-style series seems more appropriate for so much material. A slighter criticism, or rather more personal qualm given how much I've studied the film in the past, is that like a couple of the other docs, this one mentions "The Birth of a Nation," which it's right to do, but it misses an opportunity in glossing over it, to connect the racist tropes in that adulterated historicizing of a movie to, as Brown points out, the similar claimed causes of the massacres, such as the obsession with black men supposedly raping white women.

How the picture moves from that silent film to phone videos of white women recorded calling the police on black people who are just going about their daily lives is a somewhat interesting point, but also rather undermines the argument I think of the documentary in comparing past to present. Attenborough count: 6, including scuba-diving while being circled by reef sharks and ducking nervously; and standing on a shore in Canada as a pod of hundreds of belugas swim past him.

Highlight: The leafy seadragon, a stretched-out seahorse with weedy growths projecting from every bend. The episode follows the course of the Amazon, from its fast-flowing youth high up in the Andes to its massive mouth, belching into the Atlantic. On the way, we see insect larvae anchoring themselves among the torrents, the hairy clawed frog, electric fish, piranhas devouring a capybara, giant river otters, and the snapping turtle with its worm-like fish-luring tongue.

Attenborough count: 4, including tracing the start of the Amazon in the Peruvian highlands and meeting its end at the port of Belem. Highlight: Splashing tetras leap out of the water to lay their eggs on overhead leaves.

An introduction to the mammals gives way to essentially the same menagerie as in 59 above—egg-layers and marsupials. We do get better shots of the wonderful long-tongued numbats, and a view of a baby platypus inside its den. Attenborough count: 6, including pulling up in a snowmobile; and sitting with his feet dangling in a river while a platypus swims around him. The blue whale! In which dwarf mongooses cooperate, lions take turns at a kill, swan gangs defeat solo swans, and naked mole rats take on a snake.

Attenborough count: 5, including watching a literal pecking order among barnyard chickens; standing above a naked mole rat colony and watching one kicking sand out; and, yep, looking at leafcutter ants. Highlight: Attenborough sticks his head into a rocky hollow in a rainforest, points out drops of congealed blood on the ground, and looks up to see a colony of vampire bats.

The bats are reciprocally altruistic: If one lacks for blood on an evening, its roost-mate will regurgitate some, on the assumption that the favor will be returned later. Baby animals find their way in the world—with help. Meanwhile, the female lacebug guard her nymphs against spiders, and Mexican free-tailed bat parents somehow find their youngsters amid a crowded, cacophonous cave ceiling.

Attenborough count: 4, including sitting by a bat cave and watching them rush past him. Attenborough goes to the beach, as well as mangrove swamps, mudflats, and rock pools.

He sees archerfish shooting down their insect prey with bullets of spittle; surfing snails devouring a jellyfish; and the mighty leatherback turtle, excavating a nest in the sand and laying its eggs. Attenborough count: 6, including getting stuck in the mud of an English estuary; and sitting next to an egg-laying leatherback.

Highlight: The shots of microscopic worms and larvae, wending their way in the interstitial spaces between sand grains. This episode does what Life on Earth does so very well: it reveals not just the present diversity of an animal group but also its origins, via fossils and animations.

In this case, Attenborough talks about the evolution of marine invertebrates, including the origins of seashells, and the evolution of echinoderms, whose five-way symmetry can be tweaked into forms as different as starfish and sea urchins. He briefly shows Hallucigenia , a fossil animal so weird that scientists have only recently confirmed which end was the head; Attenborough has it the wrong way forward and the wrong way up.

Attenborough count : 7, including walking through the legendary Burgess Shale fossil site; yanking a robber crab off a tree; and moving the leg of a nonplussed Japanese spider crab on a fishing boat, to explain how arthropod joints work.

The bubble-rafting snail Janthina pulls off the same trick with the lethal Portuguese man of war. This is more like a didactic seminar on insect biology than its successor series Life in the Undergrowth , but it still thrills with images of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, and ants guarding acacia trees in exchange for food and shelter.

By the time this episode aired, we had already wiped out the Rocky mountain locust and the Saint Helena earwig among others, and we have since added the condor louse inadvertently and many more to the list. Attenborough count: 5, including holding a huge atlas moth on his hand; gazing upon a column of army ants; and watching a plague of locusts. First, the leafcutter ants. But also, the orchid mantis.

In this episode, plants are the manipulators, and animals, their couriers and dupes. A South African iris has helpful arrows telling a hoverfly where to stick its absurdly long tongue. The dead horse arum imprisons blowflies overnight and releases them covered in pollen. Attenborough count: 8, including walking through a meadow while suffering from hayfever; riding an elephant among foot-tall grasses; using a tuning fork to vibrate the pollen off a flower; and meeting the monstrous 9-foot, super-phallic titan arum, which smells of bad fish.

Highlight: The tricky manipulations of orchids. One covers its leaves with a sticky oil so that insects fall onto a pollen station. Another has a trigger that causes a pollen basket to fall onto a bee. Life on Earth episodes tend to be a bit scattershot, like visual lists of specific animal groups. Attenborough count: 10, including holding fossil scales that he just picked up in Australia; standing between the open jaws of the enormous and very extinct megalodon shark; swimming in the Great Barrier Reef Attenborough-in-a-T-shirt sighting!

Highlight: Attenborough goes fishing in the Amazon, sort of. He uses a rod to dangle an electrode into the water, which detects the pulses used by electric fish to find their way around. But, seriously, the hat. Birds of prey take center stage, as a great grey owl pounces on lemmings, a harrier hawk thrusts its long and double-jointed legs into trees in search of prey, a sparrowhawk hurtles through dense forests at alarmingly high speed, and a lammergeier drops bones onto rocks to get at their marrow.

Attenborough count: 4, including watching kea parrots brutalize shearwater chicks; and hiding an extremely smelly piece of meat from black and turkey vultures. Attenborough reveals how plants survive the toughest environments. Melting ice fields reveal snowbells, already in bloom. Mount Kenya moss survives a lethal night frost by rolling into a ball and bouncing along the ice. The window plant looks like a ball of pebbles, each of which is the transparent top of an underground leaf and acts as a lens for sunlight.

Attenborough count: 10, including sitting on low-lying cushion plants on Tasmania, which produce , shoots per square meter; watering a clump of dessicated white spheres in the desert, and watching it transform into the green nubbins and pink flowers of a conophytum; and being drenched with rain on the enormous sandstone plateau of Mount Roraima, and marveling at the carnivorous plants that live there. Highlight: A carnivorous bladderwort goes hunting.

It grows into the puddle of water collecting within a bromeliad, and creates tiny traps that suck water fleas to their doom. After showing how some dinosaurs evolved into flying birds, Attenborough spends the rest of the episode on those that have returned to the ground. He meets extinct terror birds, kiwis bumbling along a New Zealand beach in search of sandhoppers, and one of the 80 remaining takahes a kind of blue coot. Attenborough count: 9, including watching red-tailed hawks going after bats; flipping through plates of fossilized rock until he sees a bird feather; shining a torch onto a foraging kiwi; and going in search for the endearing but endangered kakapo—a large, flightless, bumbling, green parrot.

Highlights: The pathos of a male kakapo, booming away in the New Zealand hills to a vanishing number of females. Surprise, surprise: leafcutter ants! But also: mangrove ants evacuating their grubs from a flooded nest, harvester ants trolling neighboring colonies by sealing them in at night, and bumblebees being all but bumbling when they turn on their own queens.

Attenborough count: 8, including putting on a bee-suit and climbing up a tree to watch giant bees that, he says, can sting through a bee-suit; and antagonizing wood ants into spraying formic acid. First, giant bees that do Mexican waves to ward off intruders, including parasitic wasps and stick-wielding Attenboroughs. Second, Matabele ants brutally raid a termite nest. Boobies and kingfishers missile into the ocean, the shoebill lunges at lungfish with its murderous beak, and the black heron draws fish to within striking distance by encircling its head with its wings and creating an attractive patch of shade.

Attenborough count: 6, a long panning shot of a flying mallard that somehow lands next to Attenborough in a boat; swimming with little penguins in a masked booby T-shirt Attenborough-in-a-T-shirt klaxon! Highlight: On Queen Charlotte Island, the chicks of ancient murrelets hatch within inland tree hollows.

Responding to the adults calling from the sea, they careen towards the water, past one elated David Attenborough. Plants make for surprisingly challenging meals for mammals. Sloths cope with the lack of nutrients in leaves by living in the slow lane. Tapirs cope with poisons by licking detoxifying clay. African mammals deal with out-of-reach leaves by ignoring them and browsing low dik-diks , swiveling their hips to stand en pointe gerenuks , being really tall giraffes , and straight-up bulldozing the tree to the ground elephant.

Highlights: Attenborough offers flowers to a pika, a rabbit-relative that looks like a hamster. It stacks plants in a larder for the winter, and places the more poisonous ones at the bottom because their toxins preserve them for longer. As it bounds over rocks, Attenborough turns to the camera and beams. Despite its wounds, it still struggles up a mountain towards its nest, but then flops onto its red-stained belly before the camera cuts away ambiguously. Still, the episode is spectacular, with shots of lichens growing in time-lapse, swarms of photosynthesizing jellyfish, and plants that recruit defensive ants by offering them mansions and snack stations.

Highlight: An unforgettable time-lapse shot shows parasitic dodder vines writhing over nettles like a swarm of serpents. These are the shots that make The Private Life of Plants one of his greatest and most underestimated series.

They show plants as organisms of motion, drama, and agency. Memorably, he watches a CG blue whale form around him, before seeing a real one surface next to him. He says its heart is the same size as a small car, but the CG model suggests that someone really needs to buy David Attenborough a bigger car.

He says its main artery is so big a person could swim down it. So this episode goes to the gentle manatees. Winter is coming. Adelie penguins lead their chicks over broken ice, a dead penguin is consumed by giant isopods and meter-long nemertean worms, and giant petrels advance menacingly at each other. They are terrifying —like airborne velociraptors.

Attenborough count : 4, including walking along among the now refrozen continent, where most of the animals are gone—except the emperor penguin, which Attenborough sidles up to.

Highlight : A huge shadow bursts out of the water as a leopard seal tosses a penguin it into the air, before playing a game of cat-and-mouse with it for 20 minutes, and then thrashing it on the surface of the ocean to flay it. Barracudas, pelicans, and gulls pinion hapless fish between them.

Frigatebirds pilfer fish from tropicbirds in mid-air. And honey ants store their food inside their workers, whose abdomens expand into living, golden pots. Highlight: A heist episode! The tiny spider Argyrodes steals food right from the web of the comparably gigantic Nephila, by cutting the ensnaring silk and lowering the goods to safety. On his tour of the monkey world, Attenborough explains why the guenons of Africa have such colorful and diverse faces, watches a finger-sized pygmy marmoset as it gnaws at bark and eats the gum that oozes out, and reveals the intricate social lives of a troop of Sri Lankan macaques.

Attenborough count: 9, including watching capuchins crack nuts and self-medicate with the right leaves; demonstrating monkey alarm calls by dragging an amusing stuffed leopard on wheels; watching baboons take down flamingos; and using balls of plasticine to demonstrate the link between group size and brain size.

Highlight: A huge troop of geladas grazes in the Ethiopian highlands. They look like a cross between baboons and Animal from the Muppets, and they sound like a group of muttering old men. They shuffle around on their buttocks, eat grass, and communicate with eyebrow flashes and lip curls that turn their baboon-like faces into something that looks like a demon. The gelada: because evolution gets drunk sometimes. Tropico from 1. I found containing Keygen 4 notes past 2 Aug 22, Download Tropico.

Maybe Dave and I will save some bucks so we can buy our own espresso machine ;-. Last week while Dave was out of town, I snuck away for a couple of days to visit my cousin, Stuart, in Kansas City.

He is currently interning at the International House of Prayer. I interned there about 7 years ago, and it is still a huge part of my life. I make it back for a visit a couple of times a year, but being there with Stuart was exceptionally sweet. Alas, I will leave you with a few iphone photos to expand our story from the past few months and to keep things pretty around here :.

Dave got me a wedding band for our anniversary — I love it like crazy 2. While in Brooklyn, we made several visits to Blue Bottle 4. After securing a vehicle, you can choose between three control methods for steering.

The touch controls work very well, and anyone who plays console-style titles like those produced by Gameloft will feel right at home with them. But no touch scheme can ever match the responsiveness of a physical controller — not when the game was originally designed for controllers.

Hence many of us hoped for MOGA controller support, especially since the Android version of the game supports it. San Andreas is a massive game, and thus will likely require a few title updates for bug fixes and optimizations. The decision to publish San Andreas as an indie title is emblematic of the problems Xbox Live on Windows Phone has faced for the last couple of years.

Microsoft still seems to be securing a few Xbox Live releases here and there, but those releases are few and far between. Nor does the big MS make any real efforts to promote the few Xbox Live games that do sneak onto their mobile platform. The lack of Achievements is one thing But the Windows Phone version of the game lacks the cloud save support that the other versions offer.

Save data seems to be stored solely on the phone, which means you'll lose it if you switch devices as I'm about to do or have to reinstall the game for any reason. Combined with the lack of MOGA support, it feels like we got slightly short shrift on this one.
