Texas, altered its addys ending in "@mail.utexas.edu" to ending in just "@utexas.edu". After that, tho we could still receive mail bearing the old address, my posts to this list were not recognized. After a while I realized something odd was going on, and eventually found someone to fix it. In the meantime I had sent the following messages that I don't want to go to waste since so little has appeared on about the only topic we've had to talk about for such a long time-- 2/24/12 Well, 20 years ago Lucy had that bit part as "Jane Redmond" in RAINBOW WARRIOR... and I've heard of actors getting so immersed in the parts they play that they start thinking and acting as if they were that character. Maybe this is a belated instance of that phenomenon... By the way, she says it's because of her 3 kids-- how old are they now? ______________________ From: "Kym Taborn" It has also given her the most media coverage she has had since her accident before the Jay Leno show. Uh huh... but it has, even more, brought international coverage to what would only have been a minor incident in a just another port in a small island nation. GO, LUCY! TEXena Greenpeace member ______________________ 2/28/12 A squib in the Austin paper says Lucy and the rest of group had been arrested. No info on how they got down, voluntarily or forcibly. (Getting UP on that derrick would have been no small task for anybody not in good physical shape-- tho maybe Lucy did it the same way Xena joined Cecrops' ship. :-) ______________________ ................................................... March 7, 2013 SIDE NOTE Did anybody wonder, as I did, about what they did about "calls of nature" for all those days up there?!!! (Esp. without any of Gab's scrolls for hygiene!) ................................................... 2/29/12 In the N.Z.-related TV programs we see here (which I'm always looking for), EnZed is portrayed as trying to be a model as the world's "greenest" nation. The current situation currently doesn't reflect that at all. \Burglary/, fer gosh sake! (One wonders if the French diver who put the bomb on the Rainbow Warrior 20-some years ago attached it to the outside of the hull, HE would \not/ be charged with burglary?) P.S.: We recently got COASTWATCH here, which was splendiferous, especially the theme music. (Unfortunately I had to turn on the closed captioning to figure out what they were saying. ;-) ______________________ 1/9/13 Brief Lucy interview-- http://sierraclub.typepad.com/greenlife/2012/12/former-xena-actress- lucy-lawless-talks-eco-activism-.html ______________________ 2/10/13 From Austin's Sunday paper-- 'XENA' TO PAY SMALL FINE FOR OIL PROTEST Wellington, New Zealand-- "Xena: Warrior Princess" actor Lucy Lawless says she's won a "great victory" after a New Zealand judge handed her a modest sentence but declined to order costs sought by oil company Shell for her role in a protest aboard an oil-drilling ship. Lawless and seven other Greenpeace activists were each ordered Thursday to pay 651 N.Z. dollars (U.S. $547) to a port company and complete 120 hours of community service after earlier pleading guilty to trespass charges. Last Feb., Lawless and six other activists climbed a drilling tower on the Arctic-bound vessel Noble Discoverer to protest oil exploration in the Arctic. Another protester helped from the ground. ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
