	Monterey Bay Aquarium: Tide Pool Video
		Tide pools are pools of water left behind when the sea water recedes at low tide.
		Though tide pool creatures survive harsh conditions, they're easily hurt or disturbed by human visitors.
		At high tide, animals compete for food and space while watching out for hungry predators.

	Channel Flats
		Fly fishing the flats requires reasonable water clarity and this tends to be through the winter months and on into spring before the monsoons and big tides arrive and cloud the water somewhat.
		Fishing the flats can supply exciting action at high tide and as the tide falls drains and drop-offs are formed and bait schools are forced out by the receding waters.
		Sprays of shimmering baitfish or prawns often reveal the presence of hungry barra on the prowl.

	Limpets
		When the hungry limpet eats its fill or its internal clock warns of an ebbing tide, he returns to a special portion of the rock known as its home-spot.
		Limpets have no trap door or operculum to protect their soft bodies so they cling tightly to the rocks at low tide to keep from drying out.
		The limpet moves by rippling the muscles of its foot in a series of waves.

	Taxonomy: Race Rocks- by Students of L.B. Pearson College
		Diet : The green sea urchin primarily grazes on seaweeds (kelp being its preferred food source), but will also consume a wide variety of organisms including mussels, sand dollars, barnacles, whelks, periwinkles, sponges, bryozoans, dead fish, and - when hungry enough - other sea urchins.
		It commonly inhabits the rocky subtidal zone from the low-tide mark down to a depth of 1200 m, but also occurs intertidally in tide pools.
		Hence, sea urchins are one of the principal factors controlling habitat diversity in the rocky subtidal environment.

	Amardeep Singh: Short review of Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide
		Amitav Ghosh's new book The Hungry Tide is the Tsunami in the indian situation.
		Ghosh has managed to turn The Hungry Tide into a veritable page-turner -- beautifully controlled and plotted -- while sacrificing none his trademark historical sweep.
		One of Ghoshâs most persistent themes is of the ephemerality of concepts of national and ethnic identity.

	West Virginia History Volume 51
		When we found the 6th corps in line of battle ready to receive us our success was complete, until about noon when [General Philip Henry] Sheridan coming up turned the tide of battle against us and we lost as much in the evening as we had gained in the morning.
		This battle was lost by the boys being too anxious to reap the fruits of victory and get what they needed out of the Yankee camps as most of us were bare-footed, naked for clothing and hungry.
		In the morning when we first found the enemy the Company formed in an open field and was sitting on our horses awaiting orders when some one from the woods fired a shot at us striking A. Ricketts.

	Gallatin Canyon Homeowners Association
		The earliest explorers in the Gallatin Canyon were no doubt spin-off parties from the more intensively travelled Yellowstone Valley with its Mammoth Hot Springs, and its gold mines at Yellowstone City, and of the Madison Valley and its proximity to the populous and gold-hungry Virginia City.
		When all of the streams were at their peak with the spring run off, the dams were broken, and on the flood tide the ties and logs were sent down the river.
		The Three Forks, north in the Gallatin Valley was a crossroads following 1830, and Henry's Lake to the southeast, adjacent to the upper Madison, was another center of attraction for the hunter and trapper.

	FamilyFun: Beach Vacation: Cannon Beach, Oregon
		As a Cannon Beach sunset turned the sky fluorescent peach, my daughter, Josie, age ten, and her best friend, Felicia, 11, shouted, "Look what we found!" Inside their green sand pail swam four big beetle-shaped crabs.
		She and her parents enthuse about miles of gorgeous coastline that's perfect for tide pooling, sand-castle building, and kite flying.
		Hungry from our adventures, we made our way to Mo's Restaurant -- (503) 436-1111; Mo's Restaurant -- famous for its clam chowder and oceanside setting.

		By the time he and the general have their exchange, the tide has turned, and the British column is now collapsed in on itself--the vanguard retreating back toward the river, and the rear guard rushing forward toward the sound of the guns.
		The men of Braddock's command are hungry, lips parched, feet little more than bloody stumps inside shoes worn out from the incredible march.
		Braddock has done his best to adapt the fighting style of his troops to the kind of combat they are likely to face.

		Soon afterward, the tide of intrigue turned abruptly against Speer, as it often did against the power-hungry in Nazi Germany.
		At the Oct. 6, 1943, conference at Posen, his effort to enlist Himmler's aid in forcing local party bosses to comply with his total mobilization sparked dissension, marking the end of Hitler's unqualified backing.
		Fest follows Sereny in concluding that Speer's claim to having remained ignorant of the Holocaust after the Posen speech (whether he was present or not) is scarcely credible.

	Pohnpei-Between Time & Tide . Stories of the Great Eels
		When the eel came upon the canoe, she called out, asking how many people were inside, because she was extremely hungry.
		The eel was puzzled and somewhat suspicious, but she continued to follow the canoe and call to it as it wound its way down the river toward the sea.
		The eel feared the hunter, terrified that he would catch and kill her, so she dug herself a hiding place in the bank of the river and slithered inside.

		The rising tide of civil conflict, war and natural disasters in the world's poorest nations has led to a near explosion in food emergencies - up from an average of 15 per year in the 1980s to more than 30 per year since 2000.

		Hunger is a major threat in a wide range of emergencies, from natural disasters like the tsunami tragedy in Asia to man-made crises such as the ongoing civil conflict in Darfur, Sudan.

		The shape of a limpet’s shell has a great deal to do with whether the animal remains securely attached to its rock or is ripped off and thrown onto dry land or into the waiting tentacles of a hungry sea anemone.
		Limpets are marine gastropods that live on rocky coasts and in tide pools.
		Studying his results, Denny figured out the specifications for the perfect limpet shell: to get the best protection against the combined dangers of lift and drag, a shell’s height should be 53 percent of its length and its peak should be directly over the center of its shell.

		Only time will tell who will win the battle of the stars, but as the poker boom continues to grow, once thing is for certain.

	essere » 2004 Hutch Crossword Book Award
		I was given a copy of the excerpts from the shortlisted books for the 2004 awards when I bought a copy of Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide, winner of the English Fiction category, at the Crossword bookstore on Residency Road in Bangalore earlier this year.
		The radiating sky, the dust-covered trees, the parks devoid of grass, the plague of homeless people on the streets - these were all signs that Kolkata was burning with fever, drowning in its own dust.
		“Somsundar", the chapter of Waiting for Rain that was included in the Hutch Crossword Book Award 2004 publication of excerpts from the shortlist, contains some of the most evocative language I have read recently.

		Settlers were grazing their cattle on the tide flats of the Hoquiam River by the early 1850s.
		It was Campbell who worked to accurately spell and name this new town "Hoquiam" which means "hungry for wood," called so by the Indians for the vast amount of blown-down timber found at the river's mouth.
		Hoquiam pioneer Frank Lamb was instrumental in building one of the area's most successful businesses, Lamb Grays Harbor, and in developing the Port of Grays Harbor, one of the very first ports in Washington State.

		Even as "Boom" and "Fk The System" get thick with the heavy-handed diatribes, tunes like "Innervision," "Nüguns" and "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" are as inventive and viscerally appealing as anything on a proper release, and help set SOAD that much further apart from the** rest of today's hard-rock hash slingers.
