For many years there has been controversy about the appropriate use of the Casa/Children's Pool Beach with conflict between those who wish to destroy the harbor seal colony and those who wish to preserve it.

screw the seals. its was a great children beach. then the seals RAIDED it and attacked the children. SEVERELY injuring several children. they came in and took OUR land. its not like we are taking something from them. we r just taking it back! besides its already been proved that the seals here provide no benefit for the shoreline ecosystem.

By: minykim1. on 21 Aug 08, 06:56:42
Let the seals have this small part of the beach, what is it? Like 200 feet? And we can enjoy the hundreds of miles of beach we already have along the west coast people. I read earlier that seals are turning up dead with gun shot wounds? People throwing rocks and spitting at them? That's wrong folks, I'd have to say that I'm for the Seals and the environmental groups on this issue.

By: s0ngcatcher. on 23 Jul 08, 08:21:33
Ellen Browning set up a trust to construct and maintain this area for children to safely swim in. The trust, since she is dead, pays for that and only that. It does not pay for SeaWorld or any other home to endangered animals. Petition the Gov't to stop the destriction of rainforests...STILL!!!!! Seals are one of many. I love seals, the ocean, and I'm a vegetarian. I also live in la jolla.

By: pred178. on 07 Jul 08, 01:46:02
The big stink about the seals was that they destroy the beach with their bile and fecal matter and now because of it the people can't use the childrens pool which was who the beach was intended for.

Very nice video and great to get the word out. As a resident La Jollan, I know there is plenty of beach space for both humans and seals. Let the seals have their rookery--the tourists love it and leave more educated about our marine life.

I didn't work or volunteer for La Jolla Friends of Seals. As far as I'm concerned your comments about my experience were offensive and unnecessary and that is why they were removed. You are taking up your time, energy and anger on the wrong entity in the wrong place. BTW--Your TRUTH is different than mine. If there is so much information out there to counter what I have to say--Use it to educate people with your assertions. I'm not a journalist and I haven't professed to be one.

By: SDlobsterman. on 19 Dec 07, 20:00:58
Lori, What happened to my response to your questions? Why did you delete it? I anwsered your questions in a rational manner, and backed up my assertions with science based facts and provided my qualifications as well as reasons for doing so. All I am asking is that you and the La Jolla Friends of the Seals do the same. Is it that hard to simply be HONEST with the public? Apparently so.

What I said was ...
By: lorihope908. on 19 Dec 07, 00:10:01
What I said was that children do not need to swim in the Ocean. In fact most do not 'swim.' They run around, play, throw water at the edge. Why are you asking my qualifications? What are yours? You obviously have an interest and so do I. That is exactly why I made the video to begin with--to share my opinion. I have a right. I'm a tax paying citizen.

What do guns have ...
By: SDlobsterman. on 18 Dec 07, 23:28:40
What do guns have to do with the problem at children's pool? NOTHING. The population of harbor seals in california isn't even endangered, rather it is expanding at an alarming rate due to overzealous protection. Further, there are over 1200 haulout sites in california per the PhDs at the DFG. What are your qualifications that make you think you know more than they do about this? Do you have a docterate in marine bio?

but lori, that ...
By: SDlobsterman. on 18 Dec 07, 23:20:37
but lori, that beach a few yards north is EXTREMLY dangerous, even to experienced swimmers due to a constant and heavy rip current. There is NO such current at the children's pool. in fact, the childrens pool is one of only 3 beaches in all of San diego that is listed as safe for inexperienced swimmers. Again, what are your qualifications that make you think you know what is a safe place in the ocean?

Species are ...
By: lorihope908. on 18 Dec 07, 14:15:18
Species are diminishing around the world due to human hands with and without guns. More with guns. Seals can't read. They don't know it was created as a children's pool. I simply feel that if the Seals find this to be an ideal place to raise their young then we should allow it. It's quite refreshing to be able to see habitat without having to 'pay' for it like going to a zoo...where they are also enslaved. Isn't that the height of human arrogance?

You only need walk ...
By: lorihope908. on 18 Dec 07, 14:05:57
You only need walk up a few more yards to see where there is more beach front in La Jolla. Children do not need to go swimming in the Ocean. Note I said plenty of "swimming areas." That would mean swimming pools. When people have swimming pools in their back yard they don't have lifeguards. It's the parent's responsibility to help a child when swimming. No swimming in any water is 'safe' especially without supervision, and that includes the bathtub for some children.

A second comment/ ...
By: SDlobsterman. on 18 Dec 07, 01:14:30
A second comment/question: The seals have survived just fine for thousands if not millions of years on their own, without the childrens pool, in a bloody, brutal, danger filled ocean. Don't you feel that it is the height of human arrogance to think that without your interference they will perish?

lori, you say ...
By: SDlobsterman. on 18 Dec 07, 01:12:42
lori, you say above "We've built plenty of swimming areas and it's a parent's responsibility to keep their child safe while swimming." Where are those places and what makes you qualified to decide what is a safe place to take a child in the ocean? Are you an ocean professional such as a lifeguard? Because those people, the EXPERTS, say that there AREN'T any safe places nearby. What makes you think you know better than they do?

Giant sea bass can grow up to 7ft long, weigh in excess of 500lbs, and have been reliably aged to 75 years old. In the late 70's the population of giant sea bass was in serious trouble, resulting in protection from sport and commercial fishing in 1982. The meat tastes like fresh water bass and halibut.

By: sequenzaVII. on 15 Oct 08, 23:12:44
Desert Music has some interesting ideas, but I prefer Three Movements. Though I like the opening of Desert Music very much, and the vocal writing reminds me very much of Stravinsky, I think all too often Reich reuses old ideas to the point where you know exactly what he'll do next. The music ceases to become anything remotely interesting or intellectually stimulating, and therefore becomes dry and uninspired sounding. Daniel Variations was a nice surprise, though..

By: sequenzaVII. on 14 Sep 08, 20:11:41
Re: "repetitive music". It's been some time since I posted those comments, and as always, I've been opening my ears to more and more music. Some of it I hate, and some of it I adore. Maybe my problem with the minimalists such as Glass and Reich is their use of harmony, because just recently I've been listening to some pieces by La Monte Young and Morton Feldman (The well-tuned piano, rothko chapel/piano and string quartet etc.) and even though those pieces are repetitive, I did enjoy them a lot.

Okay, that's fair. ...
By: sequenzaVII. on 14 Sep 08, 20:08:10
Okay, that's fair. I haven't heard anything by Sciarrino, but I'm a huge fan of Ligeti. Those early pieces like "Atmosphéres" have about a million more interesting things in them than anything that Glass or Reich ever did, though, and even in "Éjszaka", the repetition reaches a hugely moving climax. Ligeti uses those ideas to great affect. I think the only one piece by Reich that I found interesting was Music for 18 Musicians. And even then, I only enjoyed it up to (and including) Section 5.

Uh-uh, SequenzaVII, ...
By: anaklasis. on 10 Sep 08, 12:25:33
Uh-uh, SequenzaVII, I understand that you don't like minimalism, but you cannot underrate an style by itself. Minimalism is not only Glass and Reich, but also Ligeti and even Sciarrino. Maybe you are talking about "repetitive music". And I think that Reich is a good composer.

I think that we ...
By: anaklasis. on 10 Sep 08, 12:20:13
I think that we cannot compare so happyly and write comments such as "Bach is not like Mahler" and so on. And also there is no "basis", since we can write whatever we desire. I think Glass' music become poor. His third symphony has nothing to do with this concert, which looks like an attemp to approach Adams' style. Of course, it's very well orchestrated, but I still prefer his violin concert.

Its clear that this is a demanding Concerto- She has the music in front of her, like when Yo Yo Ma performed the Lutoslawski Concerto- another demanding piece.

not necessarily, People thought that the works of Stravinsky were more than an abomination to classical to music, but his compositions settled in. This piece just needs settling.

phillip glass is an abomination to classical music. This concerto is a slap in the face to the cello repertoire.

Am I going to put the average pop musician up with Brahms in terms of artistry? No, because a single work of Brahms transcends just about anything any pop song or album could ever achieve, whether it's good to dance to or not. Having said that, your words about Einstein gave me a bit to think about, but i still maintain my thoughts that Glass and others have sparked this "anyone can compose" idea.

I think the most important word in that sentence is "skill". When i think of skill, i think technique, which is fundamental for any musician or composer. This gets away from my argument for a second, because I know Glass has spoken of the importance of technique and that without it there is no basis for a personal style. So I do have some respect for him in that sense, but i really don't feel he has utilized any kind of compositional technique that he's learned to its full extent.

I can't remember, and can't be bothered sifting through the comments looking for my, apparently, wrong definition of art, so i'll quote what i'm looking at right now; "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination..."

Re: "Art being elitist" I wasn't sure how to phrase it, but i meant to say that the greatest of art should be on an elitist level. It's something that requires attention and thought, or maybe learning something about the work in question, etc. I'm sure a lot of people can live without doing that and use music like they would a sitcom or something, as a means of entertainment, which is fine, but it's my belief that these things ought to be distinguished.

There are so many different kinds of people in the world, and all of them express themselves through different types of art. By diminishing any type of art, we diminish the people who make that type of art, and there is hardly ever a good reason to do that. We can learn from everyone while keeping our own musical preferences. There is plenty to learn from simplicity, just as there is plenty to learn from complexity. No need to hate either one.

Anyways, the ...

Anyways, the definition of art doesn't say how much talent or profundity has to be involved. Nor does it say anything about being musically trained or how old you are or what clothes you wear. So, are you going to say that the definition of art that you gave is wrong, or are you going to admit that more things are art than just what is created by the musical elite?

Hey, having music to dance to is something useful to the world! But I kid. Ok, then what did you mean when you said that art should be elitist? Why should it be? My point is that nobody chooses what is art or not. If it is the result of someone's creative imagination, it's art. Of course, we all have some genre of art or music that we claim is "the best", but really that just means that that's the art that speaks to us the most.
