Ernestine Betsberg and Arthur Osver: Selected Work The prospect of Slein's gallery showing paintings by this definitive old-school couple was initially surprising. As accomplished as they are, they belong to another era, when modernism reigned supreme; what was Slein doing, showing them off in a gallery that aspires to the cutting edge? The joke's on me, though: Modernism is evidently back "in"; and regardless, these paintings just couldn't look better. Betsberg's candy-color confections, which range from 1946 to 1994, still generate the shimmer and ease of Modigliani and Bonnard. For his part, Osver continues work in a vein similar to the collaged, fragmented scenes that have served him well over the last 50-plus years (the earliest works here are studies for Fortune magazine covers from 1950; the latest is a gorgeous 2005 oil painting titled Blue Hour). The show should serve as a reality check for fans of contemporary art: They don't make paintings like they used to, but thank goodness Betsberg and Osver still do. Through February 25 at the Philip Slein Gallery, 1319 Washington Avenue; 314-621-4634 (www.philipsleingallery.com). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat.
James Brooks: Small Paintings and Works on Paper Brooks was born in St. Louis, so we can proudly call him our own. And while this small retrospective comes to us from its debut at Greenberg Van Doren New York, it's no worse for the wear. As a matter of fact, it nicely complements a handful of other modernist shows on view in St. Louis at the moment and will no doubt spark a wistful longing for the days when arguments about the flatness of the canvas might come to blows, followed by apologetic rounds of "drinks on me." These works date from the 1940s to the 1980s, but like Arthur Osver, Brooks steadily maintained a commitment to modernist color and abstraction, and he remains one of the handful of lesser-known Abstract Expressionists worth pondering. Through March 18 at Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, 3540 Washington Boulevard; 314-361-7600 (www.greenbergvandoren.com). Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat.
The Curious Teapot Every city large enough to support one or two craft centers gets treated to an annual teapot show. It's the craft-center moneymaker, the sure thing that will bring out everyone from the collectors to the curious to the people convinced they don't like "art." St. Louis is no different, and Craft Alliance puts on a teapot show every year, and there's nothing curious about it, except for the fact that it remains perennially popular. The teapots this year are fun, amusing, nonfunctional and functional, "wacky" and "wild" in other words, just what you'd expect. (As Marge Simpson might exclaim: "A teapot with Scrabble letters stuck to it? Whatever!") The standouts here are the twisted takes on the classic objet d'art, such as Annette Corcoran's faux Fabergé eggs and Rain Harris' absurdly baroque fetish pots. Through March 5 at the Craft Alliance Gallery, 6640 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-725-1177 (www.craftalliance.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Thu., 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun.
Currents 96: Tim EitelThe paintings of German artist Eitel draw on historical and contemporary artworks to generate scenes of extreme enigma. The four large canvases in this show isolate figures in spare environments described only by somber gray and black fields. Helicopter (2005) has the aircraft hovering motionless just above the ground in a seemingly airless environment; Lying Figure transports Edouard Manet's Dead Toreador of 1864 to a similarly empty, vaguely interior setting. The maximum scale of the large works combines with their minimal elements to make for intriguing scenes of surreal isolation. A series of small, square oil-and-egg-tempera works on linen lines the gallery's fourth wall; these scenes are more populated but just as tight-lipped in terms of what they say to the viewer. Eitel's works are simultaneously cold and oddly irresistible. Through March 5 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive, Forest Park; 314-721-0072 (www.slam.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.)
Great Rivers Biennial 2006This second Biennial is exuberant, owing largely to the scale of the works. It's thrilling to see three emerging St. Louis artists let loose and work BIG. Moses has worked big for some time but rarely had the chance to show big; he's usually represented in group shows by thoughtful, smallish assemblages that yearn to grow larger. Here his walls of turntables and stereo receivers are in their proper milieu, allowing viewers to revel in their sheer size or focus in tightly on their fetishized technology all those sleek buttons, knobs and dials, shiny like money. The Chevy Blazer outfitted with 300 speakers may be the coolest thing anyone's ever made. While Moses explores hip-hop culture, Jason Wallace Triefenbach camps out in white-trash territory with a multifaceted performance/installation whose devil is in the details: the ATM, Zebra Cakes and beer cans, the vinyl John F. Kennedy album, the framed photograph of a dog and meat. Comparisons to Cady Nolan are too facile; Triefenbach is carving out his own territory and getting it pitch-perfect. Matthew Strauss' canvases make references to high art only to tear it apart; they're smart but wither slightly in the noisy company of his companions. Be that as it may, this is a very, very good show. Through March 26 at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, 3750 Washington Boulevard; 314-535-4660 (www.contemporarystl.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat. (open till 8 p.m. Thu.), 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sun.

Legatus group urged to help all Catholics see religious liberty threat
By Ambria Hammel
"We remain a nation where most people still value some form of religious faith," Archbishop William E. Lori said in an address in Scottsdale.
More than 500 top-ranking Catholic business leaders attended the Feb. 7-9 at the Legatus Summit, aimed at strengthening members' resolve to remain authentically Catholic in the marketplace.
Archbishop Lori's Feb. 8 address brought a whirlwind history lesson, ranging from the country's Founding Fathers to the contemporary discussion of human rights and the "frontier of liberty" described by Pope Benedict XVI.
The archbishop repeatedly affirmed the need to have principles grounded in natural law and invited Legatus members to use personal influence to convert the hearts of others.
The church, thanks to immigration from Central and South America, continues to grow in the United States. The country, the archbishop said, remains what Abraham Lincoln described it to be: "the last, best hope on earth."
But the place of religion is slipping.
"While a solid majority of Americans still believe in God and describe themselves as Christians, fewer people in almost all denominations practice their faith," he said. "This is true especially among the young. It is estimated that only 27 percent of Catholics attend Mass regularly while the number of sacramental marriages has declined steadily in recent decades."
Addressing such realities are part of the new evangelization, in which Pope Benedict XVI challenged the church to engage during the Year of Faith. It also relates to the threats on religious liberty, the archbishop said.
"If throughout the country our churches were filled to capacity and all Catholics were vibrantly evangelized and systematically catechized, religious freedom would not be challenged so readily by bad laws, judicial decisions and administrative regulations," he said.
Lack of religious practice leads to a lack of belief in moral truths, Archbishop Lori said, adding that an understanding of natural law, indispensable in a democratic form of government, is also lacking.
Religious freedom is limited, he said, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate requiring most religious employers -- including Catholic universities, hospitals and social service agencies -- to cover contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs in their employee health plans despite these employers' moral objections to such coverage.
The new proposed rules released by HHS Feb. 1 "remain problematic, especially because they give no relief to conscientious private for-profit employers," he said.
"That we are even engaging in this long struggle over the HHS mandate goes to the larger points that we are losing our freedom to create a workplace rooted in Catholic values, such as respect for human life from conception until natural death," Archbishop Lori said, "and that religion is increasingly regarded almost as a foreign element in an open society where there are no fixed truths or values to guide the journey."
That many fellow Catholics and citizens do not see that religious liberty is threatened means the church must do a better job evangelizing and catechizing, he said, emphasizing marriage and family life. Schools, charities and health care institutions must not be "Catholic in name only."
In his hourlong address, Archbishop Lori noted the ideas of the Founding Fathers were rooted in natural law, and they also were "far from hostile to religion."
"Rather, they saw religious toleration and freedom as a great achievement and the separation of church and state was meant to protect that freedom," the archbishop said, "not hem it in or to eliminate it."
The Founding Fathers saw a relationship between rights and moral obligations and understood the value for democracy of virtue, morality and religion, he said.
The modern civil rights movement, the archbishop pointed out, was rooted "in deep convictions about the dignity of the human person whose rights and freedom are to be recognized and guaranteed by law."
If the objective is to expand human rights to include "behaviors heretofore deemed immoral," then the documents of the founding of the United States must be stripped of "any reference to the Creator and his will or words and distinctions that define reality," the archbishop explained.
Such an "unhinged and ever expansive world of human rights does not merely hamper religious freedom; it imperils it," Archbishop Lori said. "Conscientious individuals and religious institutions are now more and more finding themselves in the crosshairs of a hardened secular culture dominated by the views of a powerful few."
First, religious and moral teachings are scrutinized and public opinion is shifted away from them, he said. Second, laws contrary to these teachings are enacted. Third, "allowances are made for such teachings through exemptions and carve outs," he explained. These "allowances" shrink over time and "some religious and moral teachings are branded as a form of intolerable bigotry."
The archbishop urged Legatus members to engage their network of family, colleagues and friends to understand how profoundly religious liberty is being threatened today.
Phoenix Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted celebrated the opening Mass Feb. 7 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. Legatus, in Latin, means ambassador, "one sent on a mission," the bishop said.
There is nothing to fear, Bishop Olmsted told the members of more than 70 chapters. Catholics, as part of the body of Christ, are always joined with one another and strengthened through the Eucharist, he said.

Inspired by the quote 'Some stories are true that never happened' an investigation was conducted with regards to our perceptions of domesticated nature. Looking at how we might appreciate their existence as objects of a natural cause but in reality they are the product of manipulation, sculpted perfection and over production.
A sort of unnatural natural.
Separate investigations were documented through video and photography exploring these themes. Here stands to be a collection of some of these experiments.

President Obama's budget does not contain any money for the proposed Red River Diversion.
Those close to the project say they're disappointed, but they say it may not spell the end of the nearly $2 billion project.
State lawmakers have wrestled over the idea of state funding, while members of the F-M Diversion project are trying to move forward. The project, once completed, would include a 35-mile long channel protecting one in five North Dakotans from flooding.
Depending on federal authorization and funding, it could still be years before construction gets started, giving planners time to improve and refine the project. Planning has been underway for about four years.
Senators John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement in response to President Obama's failure to include funding for the Fargo-Moorhead diversion project in his fiscal year 2014 budget.
"We learned today that President Obama included no funding provision for the Fargo-Moorhead diversion project in his budget for the next fiscal year. This omission in the president's budget is clearly unfortunate, since it will make our task of securing the federal share of project funding harder. Prior to the president's decision, the Army Corps of Engineers included construction of the diversion project in its Chief's Report, and further, the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee voted to authorize it in the new Water Resources Development Act.
"We will continue to work toward securing authorization and continued funding for the project in Congress and hope to get authorization in the full Senate within the next two months.
"It makes more sense, in both dollars and human terms, to find a permanent solution to Fargo-Moorhead's flood risk than it is does to mount an almost annual flood fight. We will also continue to work on all levels – local, state and federal – for broad support, and we will continue to make an aggressive case for permanent flood protection in Congress."

Chess is one of the oldest strategy games known to man, and one local coach is using it to teach kids how to win something even more important than a match: the game of life. It may look and sounds like the kids in the "Chessology" program are playing games, but they're actually learning some very complicated concepts. The curriculum was developed by their coach, Ian Atkins, but the lessons aren't just about capturing kings and pawns. Coach Atkins' methods are as calculating as the game itself. "In anything you do in the course of your day, you're calculating multiple variables," said Atkins. "So chess is just a very literal translation. It's the language that we speak when we're teaching children how to go about decisions."The kids say you have to think ahead, and remember how what you're doing will affect the rest of the game. You also have to know your math. Learning algebra is a huge part of the learning curve, but the kids-- some of whom are as young as the first grade-- are mastering math. They're also conquering good decision-making, and learning about life.Coach Atkins has recently created something called Chess Tube, which is like a virtual chess lesson where the students can learn and play chess online.

Conventional wisdom dictates white on wainscoting and colour above, but Stella flipped that combination by painting the trim in her master bathroom a (custom-blended) mossy green and the upper walls ivory. Along the way, she gained a cozy corner that seems to hug her vintage tub. "I wanted to create a sense of intimacy," she explains, "and still make the height of the room feel as if it goes on forever." Stella bought the towel-and-robe rack at Restoration Hardware.
Bright Idea: Who says a bathroom mirror has to be all business? Certainly not this beveled beauty.

World Wetlands Day 2001: Bahamas
National Wetlands Committee
Dear Margarita,
Further to the note from Pericles [Maillis], this is to advise that the Bahamas National Wetland Committee was recently re-appointed by Dr Earl Deveaux, Ambassador for the Environment, and Chairperson of the Bahamas Environment Science and Technology (BEST) Commission. BEST is the National Focal Point for all environmental Matters in the Bahamas. Established as a functional subcommittee of the BEST Commission, the Committee is headed by myself and Pericles as Co-chairs, representing the Public and Private Sectors respectively. The Committee comprises representatives from all agencies who's mandate impacts wetlands and includes the following:
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Fisheries
- College of the Bahamas
- Bahamas National Trust (A quaisi-NGO which has responsibility for management of National Parks)
- Department of Lands and Survey (Forestry Division)
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Private Citizens
- Water and Sewerage Corporation
- BEST Commission
In addition to and working in close association with the National Wetland Committee we are moving to establish a not-for-profit entity to be known as Wetland Care Bahamas. This entity will be the tool by which we carry out the comprehensive wetland restoration works through the country.
Following WWD activities we will be moving rapidly with advancing the objectives of Ramsar.
Add to the note sent by Pericles that we have adopted the theme "Wetlands Across The Bahamas". In line with the theme, Ambassador Deveaux will be the featured speaker at a Town Meeting hosted by the Bahamas National Trust during Wetlands Week. In addition to the Restoration works in Andros Island, BEST will be launching a major restoration project at Big Pond, a wetland situated smack in the middle of Nassau, the major urban centre in the Bahamas. A stakeholder's meeting will identify the major issues, and the project is expected to be community-based and participatory. It is expected that the restored wetland will once again become an important site for waterfowl, both local and migratory. Further, part of the periphery of the system will be enhanced as a community park for residents, and the school which borders the system. The College of The Bahamas has already begun collecting baseline data for the site, and will continue to monitor the site to provide data on both pre- and post-restoration conditions.
I trust that you are well and that this is useful.

Nicardia - Pharmacology:
Nicardia, the prototype of the dihydropyridine class of calcium-channel antagonists, is similar to other dihydropyridines including amlodipine, felodipine, isradipine, and nicardipine. Nicardia is used to treat Prinzmetal's angina, hypertension, and other vascular disorders such as Raynaud's phenomenon. By blocking the calcium channels, Nicardia inhibits the spasm of the coronary artery and dilates the systemic arteries, results in a increase of myocardial oxygen supply and a decrease in systemic blood pressure.
Nicardia for patients
Nifedipine, known as a calcium channel blocker, is used to treat high blood pressure and some forms of chest pain known as angina. This medication works by relaxing blood vessels and decreasing the pressure on the heart. This can lead to dizziness, headache, lightheadedness, flushing and swelling of the legs. You should report this to your physician because it can often be easily treated with a diuretic (water-pill). This medication is available in an extended-release form allowing for once a day dosing. Some brands must be taken on an empty stomach. Other brands are made in porous capsule which slowly releases the medication. You may notice the empty capsule in your stool. Extended release medications should not be crushed, cut or split because this destroys the slow release mechanism. If you are taking this for high blood pressure, you should have your blood pressure checked regularly to make sure the medication is working.
Nicardia Interactions
Beta-adrenergic Blocking Agents: Experience in over 1400 patients in a non-comparative clinical trial has shown that concomitant administration of nifedipine and beta-blocking agents is usually well tolerated, but there have been occasional literature reports suggesting that the combination may increase the likelihood of congestive heart failure, severe hypotension or exacerbation of angina.
Long Acting Nitrates: Nifedipine may be safely co-administered with nitrates, but there have been no controlled studies to evaluate the antianginal effectiveness of this combination.
Digitalis: Immediate Release Capsules: Since there have been isolated reports of patients with elevated digoxin levels, and there is a possible interaction between digoxin and nifedipine, it is recommended that digoxin levels be monitored when initiating, adjusting, and discontinuing nifedipine to avoid possible over- or under-digitalization. Extended Release Tablets: Administration of nifedipine with digoxin increased digoxin levels in 9 of 12 normal volunteers. The average increase was 45%. Another investigator found no increase in digoxin levels in 13 patients with coronary artery disease. In an uncontrolled study of over 200 patients with congestive heart failure during which digoxin blood levels were not measured, digitalis toxicity was not observed. Since there have been isolated reports of patients with elevated digoxin levels, it is recommended that digoxin levels be monitored when initiating, adjusting, and discontinuing nifedipine to avoid possible over- or under-digitalization.
Quinidine: Immediate Release Capsules: There have been rare reports of an interaction between quinidine and nifedipine (with a decreased plasma level of quinidine).
Coumarin Anticoagulants: There have been rare reports of increased prothrombin time in patients taking coumarin anticoagulants to whom nifedipine was administered. However, the relationship to nifedipine therapy is uncertain.
Cimetidine: A study in 6 healthy volunteers has shown a significant increase in peak nifedipine plasma levels (80%) and area-under-the-curve (74%) after a 1 week course of cimetidine at 1000 mg per day and nifedipine at 40 mg per day. Ranitidine produced smaller, non-significant increases. The effect may be mediated by the known inhibition of cimetidine on hepatic cytochrome P-450, the enzyme system probably responsible for the first-pass metabolism of nifedipine. If nifedipine therapy is initiated in a patient currently receiving cimetidine, cautious titration is advised.
Nicardia Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity reaction to nifedipine.

So Justin Biebers Best Friend Lil Twist has been named in a police report and accused of battery at Biebs Mansion. It actually happened really early this morning. A woman was at Biebers house at 3:30 this morning….so it was obviously the after-party…she decided it was time to take off, but when she tried to leave according to the report Twist Forcefully grabbed her arm in an aggressive manner and tried to force her to stay….well that moment convinced her to drive to the nearest Sherrifs Office and file a report….now cops are investigating the incident….Justin was not at home at the time….So….yeah technically Bieber, again won't be implicated, but it's still his Posse making him look bad, as usual..Nice going Twist.
Lindsay Lohan is being clear she has no plans to cut her father out of her life….she stated that despite his many flaws he's actually a very positive influence on her, and wants him to be a big part of her rebuilding herself after Rehab…Awww……that's nice….some Lohan family bonding.
So I broke the story yesterday and it's all over the place today about Simon Cowell expecting a child with his buddy's wife, Well, this could seriously tarnish his reputation. Unless he's running for office in New York, then it's all good I guess.

hellosQuare presents CONTAINER (US)
with Spartak and Mornings
The Basement
Tuesday 12 November, 9pm
$10 at the door
hellosQuare welcomes the amazing techno alchemist CONTAINER to Canberra while he tours around the country (including a stop at Sound Summit alongside Oval and Heatsick amongst others), supported by the electro-punk moodiness of Spartak and expansive heaviness of mornings.
Using a simple hardware set-up, Container has brought into this world a steady stream of releases that exposes a dark heart at the core of analogue electronica today.
With two LPs released on the Spectrum Spools imprint run by John Elliott, formerly of Emeralds amongst another stack of vinyl singles and cassette releases, Container takes hold of his audiences with a punishing tension in his minimal tracks, holding a middle ground between improvised noise and underground techno - both forms which hold a special connection to the musical DIY movement.

You know how we techies are always telling you to backup? Now ransomware is no joke. Targetting small businesses through socially-engineered emails, this kidnapware issues a big box popup demanding $300 for the return of your docs. And it means business, in that it traverses your user folders searching for doc, docx, xsl, xslx and so on… You know–STUFF! Then it encrypts them with AES. They claim they will provide your private key to unlock these files, although I wouldn't trust them based on the history of Sirefef (Zero Access,) the FBI virus, and so on. Generally, you pays your money, and you gets… nothing. (Note the screen above is the graphic that appears after the virus was removed.)
Luckily, this small business was backing up to Carbonite. But that presents another dilemma: Carbonite was running for some hours overnight, backing up the encrypted files. They provide something like the last 12 revisions, but not through the simple "Restore my Files" tray app. Carbonite techs are on the case, and I expect a call from them in the next day or so. Any company would be wise to employ both a cloud and local backup that offers versioning for their most important data.
This particular variant left QBW company files alone, and didn't bother with the 2 sample JPGs in Pictures. But let me reiterate, if you run Windows and you're not backing up everyday, you're playing Russian Roulette. Literally.

I've thankfully been able to travel across the pond at least once in my life. It was probably the best trip of my life. Here's where I went:
- London, England – Beautiful. Lots of culture and funny people. Almost got beat up by an old dude who thought I was in the American army.
- Paris, France – I didn't like it at first (because of the language barrier), but it grew on me. After learning some French in college, I have an inkling to go back! Dude in front of the Cathedrale de Notre Dame got mad at me because I was from Texas and I "had too much oil."
- Madrid, España – I actually didn't care for it much. Maybe another trip?
- Sevilla, España (where I spent most of my time, see where I lived below) – My residencia! So much history and beautiful architecture and people!
- Lisboa, Portugal – Where they loved to speak English to me (since they do not like anything to do with the Spanish language).
- Barcelona, España – A different part of Spain, but nevertheless cool. Really chic. One word: Gaudí.
But, that was 3 years ago.
Help me decide on where I want to go next! I'm thinking South America (more specifically, Colombia and Venezuela).

Charleston, SC
Hi Baby. It's taken me so much longer than I hoped to get a few words down. Still no phone of my own yet, but finally saved up to get a place. It's only a studio, but one tall-ass window opens up onto a veranda big enough for me to sit in my chair and watch the neighbors' houses light up as the night falls. Maybe I'll start growing some vines to creep over the railing. Not that it was so bad at my daddy's, but you know how I am. We'd sit up until sunrise playing cards in the kitchen. Still don't talk much, at least not yet, but the silences are more settled. Job's aight. The usual mustachioed psychopath at the helm, and mostly Mexicans instead of Salvadoreños. My Spanish is getting along good. I hope you are too. Sometimes I ride my bike out to sit under the live oaks and daydream about what they've grown up witness to. I thought you'd like to see one. Write to me, please? Even if you're still mad. Please kiss your pretty face in the mirror for me.

Lionel Messi's charity game at Soldier Field will go on, though its star-studded lineup has lost some of its luster.
The "Messi and Friends" charity game will be played Saturday night. The 4-time Ballon D'Or winner was to have had another all-star match Wednesday in Los Angeles, but it was canceled Tuesday night in a dispute with promoters. The Chicago game is put on by a different organization.
Saturday's match was originally supposed to feature 36 international stars, including Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz and Robert Lewandowski. But most of the big names have dropped out, and four former Northwestern players had to be added to the roster simply to be able to stage the game. Thierry Henry, Julio Cesar and Javier Mascherano are still scheduled to play.

Aguila, Arizona is on the eastern edge of the Arizona Outback - located on Hwy 60 approximately 20 miles west of Wickenburg, in Maricopa County. Aguila lies in a beautiful fertile valley just north of the Harquahala Mountain Range and boast of growing the world's finest Cantaloupes!
Aguila's name is tied to Eagle Eye Mountain which lies in the Harquahala Mountain Range.
"The Harquahala Mountains are the highest mountain range in southwestern Arizona, USA and are located southwest of the towns of Aguila and Wenden. The name originated from a local Native American people "Aha qua hala" which meant "water there is high up". Eagle Eye Mountain has a natural opening or bridge through it appearing as an eye high up, and is the namesake for the peaks and Aguila (Spanish for eagle)".
Eagle Eye Road heading south out of Aguila from Hwy 60 offers beautiful wilderness areas for jeep rides, hiking trails, rockhounding and scenic views.

Would You Eat a Scorpion?
by POPSUGAR Food 45 Reactions 3 Shares Print
I recently went to China, and while in Beijing I stopped at the infamous street food market. I wasn't sure what to snack on, but since I'll try anything once, and had a slight obsession with Survivorman, I eventually settled for a deep fried scorpion. It was warm and crunchy, with a little tender meaty morsel in the center. And, most surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. In fact, I'd eat it again. How about you, would you ever eat a scorpion?
hanmeng 6 years
When I had them they had been deep fried whole, with the stingers still on. I don't know if they were treated in any special way, but I assumed the stingers had lost their sting. The problem with the stinger is that it was the hardest part to crunch through. Otherwise I recall that the rest of the body was crunchy like a potato chip and slightly fishy.

No way, it's not for me - I am chicken
cocomademoiselle 6 years
You're brave! I can't pass the fact that it's a.... Scorpion!! But when it comes to spicy food, I'm in! hooh Hot hooh Hot!
Valynn 6 years
I'd try it, no money involved as long as the person doing the cooking knows what they are doing. I'll try anything once..isn't life about the adventure?
BRANDYNICOLE730 6 years
No way. I seen a scorpion for the 1st time this past summer, it was dead, and that was all the closeness I need with them.
calamari 6 years
Sitting here safely at my desk, I can say that I would. But if it was right in front of me, I might wimp out.

Powerpuffgirl 6 years
I'm with blairbear...I live in AZ too and see enough of these. It'd be kinda weird too since I'm a scorpio...bad karma if I ate one?? Both my sisters have been stung by scorpions so I know to STAY AWAY! I voted "probably not, but if coerced..." because I might do it for money. Curiosity and adventure are not enough to make me try them with no cash as an incentive!!
leztnerp 6 years
Will someone elaborate on the poisonous factor? Do they take that part off? Are they seasoned, or is it just crunching up a cooked scorpion? Not sure. If coerced properly, I could be made to. Sounds better than grasshoppers in Oaxaca.
haze1nut 6 years
YES! totally! as long as the stingers are gone...
chynablue 6 years
I hear they are crunchy... I would eat one, but not the stinger. Does that count?
mamaseacat 6 years
Sure, I'll eat anything as long as: 1. someone else has eaten it and didn't die 2. someone else has eaten it and liked it 3. and, it's cooked.
veronicaraye 6 years
2 words: HELL NO!
ylatan 6 years
i'm veg, so no way. and yes, they count as meat. totally counts. totally.
emalove 6 years
Wouldn't even consider it...
GiggleSugar 6 years
When I went to Cambodia, these women had deep-fried tarantulas for sale and let's just say their furry little bodies did not make my mouth water. Scorpions, though? I love soft-shelled crab and other creepy-crawlies, why not? It's protein!
colormesticky 6 years
Wait, do you eat the stinger too?
colormesticky 6 years
I wouldn't do it. I'm horribly unadventurous when it comes to food. My best friend has a picture very similar to this one, only it's one scorpion and one potato bug on a stick. :sick: Pass.
javsmav 6 years
Caterpillar girl: Yes, a bug would be considered meat. There would not be a lot of meat on a scorpion, but bugs are not part of a vegetarian diet. Just google "scorpion meat" if you are curious.

No way. I've been stung by a scorpion - twice. I would NOT put it in my mouth.
ilanac13 6 years
no way. thank goodness that i'm a vegetarian so i don't have to worry about that - but still - anything that can kill you with a bitty sting when it's alive should not be eaten!

Okay, I'm a big wuss as I took one look at that pic and I suddenly felt sick. Could not do it unless there was a large sum of money involved, I mean a lot! ;-)

I wouldn't eat anything that could sting me, such as wasps & scorpions! Non-stinging insects, maybe.
iamangiepooh 6 years
grosss! never
nancita 6 years
I was going to say yes, because I'm fairly adventurous. Then I saw the photo, and I have to say only if coerced.
POPSUGAR-Fitness 6 years
I am with you Party! The competitive half of me would override the squeamish side of me. So, under coercion - Yes! I would eat a scorpion and then I would "rock you like a hurricane" baby!
CaterpillarGirl 6 years
I have eaten them, they are kind of nutty tasting. I will try any food once. Why wouldnt a vegetarian eat a bug? its not meat.
POPSUGAR-Tech 6 years
Go Yum! Put me on Survivorman or Fear Factor and yes I would eat Scorpians. Other than that, no way!

I'm going with no on this one.

haha i say no way!... but maybe if i was put into the sistuation i might do it! i mean its not going to kill you .. its just going to taste really bad.. or maybe it will taste good! haha

I don't even think I would do that if I was drunk!

Eatting bugs is just one of the things I won't do. Ever. :sick:

I live in Arizona, I've seen enough of 'em! I would never want to see one on my dinner plate!

In a competitive "Anything you can do, I can do better" way I would totally have to eat it. If YumSugar ate it so can I!
aanyanka 6 years
Absolutely not!

I'm such a baby when it comes to trying strange things. I probably would never try it. I'd be too scared.
Lovely_1 6 years
Nope I wouldn't :) Some things I just REFUSE to eat...like a rabbit head in Italy :sick: Maybe (just maybe) if I got a million bucks outta it I would.
em1282 6 years
Maybe if it was a bit more unrecognizable, I'd eat it. It would be cool to say you tried it, though. Reminds me of the "Long Way Round" series with Ewan McGregor and his best friend Charley--they ate testicle soup while in Mongolia and just the way they were describing it made me laugh hysterically. At least you'd get a good story out of it :)
javsmav 6 years
I've been to that street in Beijing, too. No way did I eat anything there. My excuse: I'm a vegetarian(being veg got me out of a lot of uncomfortable situations in China). But give me an exotic vegetable and I'll show you my adventurous side.
