If you were askin me, about anatomy At first I #39;d say it #39;s only words of blasphemy, but actually We #39;re gradually, learning more and more happily Exchanging core charges, but not talkin bout a battery The nucleus, the center of attention maaan he #39;s used to this Never dubious, he knows exactly where the nutrient is While my mind is held hostage, lost in this thought process Distraught logic seems to be stopped on this hot topic Anatomy.

The Art of Tracking- Track Anatomy – Nomenclature – Video


The Art of Tracking- Track Anatomy - Nomenclature
In this video basic anatomy and the nomenclature of tracks is discussed. Tracking can be subjective by this I mean it can depend on "who" "what" you may have been taught or read. There appears to be no consistency in terms, gaits, or measurements between many of the professional trackers and their subsequent books, and teaching something is always changed. Understand that my information may conflict with the teachings of others. If an opinion is different, remember that one persons understanding of a particular reference could be viewed differently and may have to be explained in order to understand what is being conveyed. Thanks Enjoy the series.

Justified Round Table: "Truth and Consequences"

Raylan got duped and Boyd called out a duper on the latest episode of Justified Season 4.

How does our Round Table team of Jim Garner, Carla Day and Nick McHatton feel about "Truth and Consequences?" Read on for their Q&A and then chime in with your own answers below...

-------------------------------------------

What was your favorite scene from "Truth and Consequences?"
Nick: Raylan's skepticism of Eve's "abilities."

Jim: I loved Art, Rachel and Raylan in Art's office. Both Rachel and Art took some good-natured digs at Raylan with some great humor mixed into it.

Carla: I'm going to be a rebel and go with my least favorite best scene -- the snake attack. That was horrific to watch, but at least it wasn't gratuitous. It served an important purpose and lead to an amazing snake off.

Justified RT Logo

Should Boyd have done more to stop Billy from picking up the Rattlesnake?
Nick: I thought Boyd genuinely attempted to stop Billy in the beginning, but Billy tried to blindly follow his faith in God and got bit.

Jim: Boyd did as much as he could, short of carrying the anti-venom on him. He stopped him physically and tried to warn him that his pride was running away with him.

Carla: The truly best option would have been for Boyd to take have taken his box and gone home, but this is Boyd. For him, he went out of his way to try to convince Billy not to handle the snake. That was mighty righteous of him. It ended up being a game of chicken with a snake rather than with cars and Cassie/Billy lost.

When Boyd revealed to the congregation that Cassie milked the snakes, did he expose a con in the works or just destroy some people's faith?
Nick: He did both because they go hand in hand. Cassie's milking of the venom (and Billy not knowing) is part of her con to gain followers in the church, and if the main showing is a fraud then some are going to lose faith.

Jim: Boyd revealed Cassie's manipulation for his own reasons, but an argument can be said that he was protecting the people of Harlan County. Sadly the truth may have had the side effect of damaging some people's faith. I suspect we will see Ellie May back at work soon.

Carla: I suspect both, but we won't really know how people react until they either show back up at the tent or not the next day.

Did Lindsey and her ex Raylan or should Raylan be worried that Lindsey is missing and could be in trouble?
Nick: It's hard to say since they both come from a con background, but I'm personally leaning towards both of them cleaning out Raylan and moving on. Either way it felt like she ran her course, so I'm happy she's gone.

Jim: I find it hard to believe that Lindsey would have been as honest about her previous law infractions with Raylan if she was planning on robbing him blind. I suspect that if she did go with her ex-husband it wasn't by choice.

Carla: I agree with Jim that Lindsey probably didn't go entirely on her own. However this is resolved though, I hope she's out of Raylan's life. Not a fan.

Should Raylan have been more sympathetic to Rachel leaving her husband?
Nick: Raylan was being Raylan with her, so no.

Jim: Raylan has been dealing with his own marriage having fallen apart and that his ex-wife is now pregnant with his child. If anyone could have been sympathetic, it would have been him. I guess he really is a "redneck" at heart and doesn't want to talk about feelings.

Carla: He's Raylan. He doesn't have feelings or empathy.

The CW Pilot Orders: The Hundred, Oxygen, Reign

The CW has ordered three new pilots.

In addition to a revamped version of The Selection, as previously reported, the network announced today a trio of moves:

The CW

The Hundred is a post-Apocalyptic tale set nearly a century after nuclear war has destroyed earth and centering on 100 juvenile delinquents sent back to the planet to determine if it can be re-colonizied.

Oxygen follows the relationship between a human girl and an alien boy after he and eight others of his species are brought in to a suburban high school a decade the aliens landed on our planet and were consigned to an internment camp - where they’ve been kept ever since.

Reign is a period drama based on Mary Queen of Scots’ rise to power as a 15-year in France.

It's far too early to actually know what will be on the network's schedule in 2013-2014, but aside from The Vampire Diaries, Arrow and most likely Supernatural, no shows on The CW appear safe for renewal.

Nikita Review: Broken, But Bionic

It really happened! Michael lost his hand after the run in with Amanda in Canada. Wow!

"Aftermath" was aptly titled, as we saw how Michael dealt with the shocking new impediment in his life and career. As much as he tried to act like he was going to be as good as new, he was wasn't physically or mentally the same.

Owen with a Gun

At first, Michael approached the situation with Nikita pragmatically without any feeling. It was war, it happened, let's move on. While he said that and probably believed it to some extent, it was so far from the truth. He was lying to himself and those around him, yet was determined to be the same soldier he always had been just with a metal hand.

Michael: Take a good look everyone. If you're nice, I'll even let you touch it, but no high fives. | permalink

It wasn't just Michael's new hand that was made of metal, it was as if he was surrounded in the solid material. Stoic for all to see. When Ryan assigned the mission to go and get the rogue cleaner, Liam, Michael was all set to go with Nikita and Owen. Even though Nikita knew it was a mistake for him to accompany them, she also understood that it would do greater harm to deny him.

The mission didn't go as planned, but that couldn't be blamed on Michael. Liam outwitted the Division agents by infiltrating their communications and then setting the building to explode. If Michael hadn't been there, Liam still would have gotten away. But, Michael was there, his hand didn't work, he shot erratically, and Liam drove away.

The strong face that Michael had put on was quickly fading away. It was painful to watch Michael lie about what happened with Liam and isolate himself from those that care about him. The loss of his hand is a tragedy and he was dealing with it the only way he knew how. 

It seemed odd though that Ryan wouldn't have forced Michael to have therapy. Alex was sidelined not because of her addiction, but due to her health. She's not allowed in the field again until she brings her heart rate down. Why wasn't Michael being required to talk to someone about what happened? 

Poor Nikita went from being closed out by Michael to being his punching bag. Not unexpected behavior, but still painful to see. She's such a strong person and is amazing at helping others. She helped Alex kick her addiction when they first met and also helped rehab Owen. How long until Michael let's go of what she did and let's her in?

Michael led a successful mission to kill Liam and get the laptop, while keeping both Nikita and Owen safe. Even that accomplishment wasn't enough to boost Michael's self-confidence. He could still do his job, just perhaps in a different way.

At least, Michael isn't giving up and hiding in a closet somewhere. He's a fighter and even if he is pushing people away, he hasn't retreated. He went to Birkhoff for other options. And, then after his fight with Nikita, feeling love and emotion, his robotic fist closed! An incredible feat for Michael, but not so great for that metal wall! That's a positive sign of Michael's recovery and maybe he will be better off with a robotic metal hand, right?

Nikita Season 3 was starting to get a little stale with the rogue agent of the week and never-ending battle with Amanda. While unfortunate, Michael's plight adds to the emotional stakes of the new Division. It provides an amazing opportunity to explore the relationship between Nikita and Michael. Why are they together? And, more importantly, can they withstand the good and bad times together?

They love each other enough, it's a question of whether Michael can let down his guard enough to let her in. Will his ego let her button a shirt if it's easier that way? I'm confident they will recognize they need each other and that moment when they do will be spectacular.

Michael's limitations in the field will also add complexity to their missions. Or, will he stay and help the field inexperienced Ryan back at Division? Regardless, this is an exciting story that Nikita is going to tell!

How long until Michael accepts that Nikita took his hand out of love for him and apologizes to her? Will Michael be able to work out in the field again? With the struggles Alex is facing, where is Sean?!?!

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "Catch Me If You Can"

Kol caused problems. Bonnie set the police station on fire. And Stefan and Rebekah were red hot in their own, very different way.

Yes, The Vampire Diaries aired "Catch Me If You Can" last night and now our Round Table team of Matt Richenthal, Leigh Raines, Miranda Wicker and Steve Marsi are here to breakdown all the action, in and out of the bedroom.

Pull up a virtual chair and chime in now!

-------------------------------------------

What was your favorite scene or quote from the episode?
Matt: Stefan revisiting his Ripper days, minus the killing and the pillaging and all. This guy deserves some fun and some unfeeling, no-positions-barred sex with Rebekah. Paul Wesley absolutely killed it as this version of Stefan.

Leigh: Stefan to Elena: "You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you." BUUUUUURN!!!

Miranda: The end! Elena had an actual bad ass idea. If she and Jeremy can pull it off, that is. Killing Kol to complete the mark and get the map? Genius.

Steve: A bitter, slightly vengeful Stefan nonchalantly (maybe even a little cheerfully) explaining to Damon that he bled him out and that he'll be cooling his heels in the dungeon until further notice. Cheers, brother!

Vampire Diaries Round Table logo

More ridiculous: Bonnie interrogating Shane; Damon warning Jeremy to run while compelled;  or, again, Matt's jacket?
Matt: Give Matt a break! The guy has already earned the Least Valuable Player award from Damon. Can we leave his fashion sense alone? I've gotta go with Bonnie somehow being permitted into the interrogation room. That storyline made the sire bond seem sensical.

Leigh: Well, Matt didn't have any other clothes up at the cabin so he gets a pass... Damon is in love with Elena so he probably did it for her... I guess it would have to go with Bonnie getting some balls lately. Who knew?

Miranda: Oh, Matt. That jacket. Definitely Matt and the jacket.

Steve: Damon telling Jeremy to run while being compelled to murder him. Doesn't compulsion entail blindly doing whatever you're told? Since when can the compelled realize what's going on?

Hotter sex scene: Delena or Strebekah?
Matt: Gonna go with Strebekah because 1. it involved Claire Holt; 2. I didn't see it coming; 3. It wasn't interspersed with Caroline and Stefan having their own conversation.

Leigh: Delena obvs. Strebekah didn't even get a soundtrack. But good for Stefan for getting some and moving on.

Miranda: I really like that Stefan's getting some action, even if it is with Rebekah. But their sex is still way less hot than Delena sex.

Steve: Strebekah. No emotions, strings attached or sire bond nonsense required, just pure insanity and raging libidos. Maybe not the secret to a lasting relationship ... but fun to watch on TV.

Who is behind the mystery team?
Matt: Let's just say she looks VERY similar to another character on the show.

Leigh: Klaus. Isn't Klaus behind everything? Or are the writers switching it up for a change and maybe Shane is behind the mystery team? But can Shane compel? My bets are still on Klaus.

Miranda: Mayor Hopkins. While masquerading as a traveling salesmen, he was really discovering the secret to destroying Silas. He sent Sheriff Forbes and then sent the mystery man because he knew Shane would have to cancel his office hours.

Steve: Who cares, I'm just excited that the race for the cure got even more complicated!

Where were Caroline and Tyler this week?
Matt: Spreading Tyler's mother's ashes in the Pacific Ocean. It's what she always wanted.

Leigh: I'd like to think that Caroline and Tyler were having make up sex. Right? Let one of these couples be happy for a week!

Miranda: Attending classes at Mystic Falls High School like the students they're all supposed to be.

Steve: Agree with Miranda. Those AP chemistry midterms can be a bitch.

Grey’s Anatomy Promo: A Very Fine Line

Life and death.

Right and wrong.

It's a very fine line between both, as the doctors of Grey's Anatomy know, and next week, it looks like we'll see them toe those lines once again. Let's hope tragedy doesn't strike Meredith ...

What we do know from the synopsis is that Derek and April work around the clock to find a solution for the hospital, and Cristina struggles to respect the wishes of a family whose son is dying.

Meanwhile, Arizona empathizes with a teenager who faces problems similar to her own.

For a full rundown of last night's "Walking on a Dream," follow the link to read our official Grey's Anatomy review. Then check out the first promo for "Bad Blood" and comment below:
