The scene is bizarre: goblin-like bronze sculptures with human faces but no torsos sport demon wings and shoes - and sometimes two heads, one of which protrudes from the tips of their tails.
Distorted? Indeed.
Demonic? Perhaps.
Whimsical, festive and fun? Definitely.
"That's the point I want to make in my works - no torso, no desire," the figures' creator Liang Changsheng says at the group exhibition The Adventures of the Three Loafers in Beijing.
"And if there's no desire, there's no conflict. And if there's no conflict, there's no violence."
Liang believes the torso is the seat of men's lust for sex and food.
"Those two things are the root of all evil," he says.
So, his humanoid bronze sculptures, paper-cuttings and drawings create a "visionary utopia" he calls "He Le" - "Harmonious and Happy". It's meant to represent a world of perfect joy.
This intimate realm has many unique features. Hierarchy disappears. The demonic-looking humanoids are free of corporeal form. They live in peace and harmony, frolicking, flirting and flying as they please.
Unlike many contemporary Chinese artists, who have relegated their subject matters to political icons or symbolism that appeals to Western galleries, Liang has long remained fascinated by Buddhist iconography, Chinese painting and such folk art traditions as paper-cuttings.
The energy of Liang's vision was incubated during his early engagement with paper-cut practices. He often combines such traditional motifs as Buddhist figures and phallic iconography, and magic subjects - like flying animals and dancing parrot heads with women's legs crossing over a man with spread legs.
So, his modus operandi is more deeply seated in contemporary Surrealism's grotesque forms.
The most provocative piece among Liang's paper-cuts is An Auspicious Rooster and a Woman.
It depicts a riotous rooster with a long neck and strong, man-like legs, with fresh lotus in its mouth. The fowl is perched atop a voluptuous naked vixen, who lies on the grass, smiling invitingly and seductively.
Liang's early idiosyncratic paper-cuts were so impressive that he was accepted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1994.
In 2002, he started a series of panoramic paper-cut vistas portraying his He Le world. One piece creates a utopia crowded with half-human, half-beast figures. They dance on rocks, meditate on floating clouds and perform acrobatics on raging rivers.
Canine-like creatures with human faces are arranged on the bottom right and left. They ride human heads to watch the more humanoid characters frolic.
The composition of this massive paper-cut is so well integrated that it looks like a painting.
Deformed characters also inhabit in Liang's ink drawings.
In his tapestry-like long scrolls, entitled The Blissful Life in Paradise, Liang continues to allow his inclination toward Buddhist figures to co-exist with bizarre humanlike beasts.
He sets up a scenario in which sacred Buddhas and secular bodies are juxtaposed, while sexuality and spirituality abruptly jut into the fore. The Buddhas sit against traditional landscapes to watch over unholy fiends, whose spirituality is wretched. The scene is equal parts disturbing and jubilant - it's as joyful as a carnival, in fact.
People's Fine Arts Publishing House critic Han Yazhou says the work shows "a naughty charm that's satirical of humankind and mercy. But there's no evil or depravity." What makes Liang's art extraordinary is that his imagined He Le world is Surrealist and Realistic, obscure and clear, and honest and self-deceptive.
"That can be read as an evocative interpretation of the dark side of ourselves and today's insane society," Han says.
"People get lost in their pursuit of the material, and their corporeal and spiritual lives seriously collide, like animal and human forms in Liang's works."
But Liang says his He Le world is more about his personal salvation than social commentary. Liang's fantastical imagery comes from his larger-than-life childhood dreams, in which the impossible became possible and real.
"I started to have these dreams when I was about 4 or 5," he says.
"In them, men can freely transform into any form - birds or beasts, angels or devils - as they like. These visions are such an eternal joy they are impossible in the chaos of grim reality."
He found himself increasingly depressed every time he awoke, because he didn't have any way to realize these blissful dreams.
Liang says he "deliberately hides his critical stance on society in a carnival-like scenario that mirrors a part of our own disguised lives. Anxiety and conflicts are tactfully veiled behind a surface of brightness and light-heartedness."

Also to consider is our very different climate and soils. It may still be
innovative here, with our humid climate and range of soil types, it may not
have been experimented with much here. In Virginia our diversity of plant
life, natural and man initiated, is extremely high. Not sure if it would
compare to the rainforest, but I believe it is high for the continental US.
The weed mix could easily affect efficacy. Our soils range from sandy to
heavy clays. I am glad it may work here, despite these conditions.
So does anyone else know of rolling down covercrops as an -old- method in
the humid Middle Atlantic? If so, where can I get more information?

8956 Released
Development continues. This release allows you to disable the functionality that hides the tab bar when only one file is open. Disabling that auto hide makes Textmate 2's functionality like that of Textmate 1.
- Introduced
as two new semantic classes. A command with this class will be executed when the application gain/lose focus. The scope selector is matched against the "current scope" of the visible document (in each window). This allows creating a command with "Save" set to "Modified Documents" and thereby recreating TextMate 1.x's ability to save modified documents on lost focus. - The approach in 2.0 also allows to run some code, for example reloading the currently open browsers, and it can be scoped e.g. to
to only have the "save on lost focus" enabled when editing HTML files - alternatively one can introduce a custom scope likeattr.save-on-deactivate
and set that for specific projects via ascopeAttributes
setting in.tm_properties
. - Tab bar can be made always visible:
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate.preview disableTabBarCollapsing -bool YES
. - Fix issue with indented soft wrap having the prefix string wider than the wrap column.
- Fix issue with selection sent to commands needing entire document (e.g. ⌘R for Ruby, Python, etc.).
- Fix issue with ⌃⇥ not always working to move focus to file browser.
- Remove folding patterns from grammar template.

The Environmental Impacts Of Dentistry
Recently dentistry has taken on a new position in our annual lives by including an adjective to its method: comfort. No much more stiff chairs, old copies of Highlights magazine, and outdated artwork on the walls like my childhood dentist; these days offices have waiting space chairs so nice you want to get there early to get a nap, iPods to listen to in the course of your visit to help drown out the unsightly seems of the tools, and the newest copies of all the hip magazines and newspapers. What is up coming for dentists to adopt?
Eco-friendly workplace environments, methods, and equipment…also named "Eco-dentistry," a practice that is speedily gaining recognition as more people would regular the dentist when essential if it were safer for their bodies and less difficult on the Earth.
GreenDOC Categories of An Eco-Pleasant Dental Practice:
Past a recycling plan or locating in a green-licensed developing, there are lots of alternate options for dentists to make greener selections.
The GreenDOCTM Checklist outlines essential specifications and proposed initiatives inside 8 categories of eco-friendly practice.
Sustainable Spot
Waste Reduction
Pollution Prevention
Power Conservation
H2o Conservation
Patient Care, Workplace Policies & Neighborhood Contribution
In June of 2010, the >Eco-Dentistry Association launched internationally. There are dentists residing in 20 U.S. states, as nicely as some in Canada, who have joined the association in order to enable offices around the entire world develop into superior suited for the atmosphere and there is no doubt in the business that these numbers will carry on to grow as this new wave of dentistry can take form.
Dr. Fred Pockrass and his spouse Ina started out the Eco-Dentistry Association in order to recruit much more specialists to this new branch of the trade following they began the 1st eco-pleasant dental practice in the United States. The Association states in its opening press release a few statistics about the quantity of waste that many dental practices accrue. The numbers are jaw-dropping: "…680 million disposable chair barriers, light take care of covers and individual bibs, and one.7 billion instrument sterilization bags conclude up in landfills yearly….If each and every U.S. dental office installed a unit capturing mercury-containing waste, at least 7,400 pounds of poisonous waste would be stored out of the nation's drinking water supplies every 12 months."
The Association explains that cutting down on waste would support tremendously. A single of the major concerns in dentists' offices is contamination and infection which signifies holding instruments, individuals, and the experts safe and clear. By supporting dentists close to the world go "green," organizations can avoid infection by employing non-toxic strategies of disinfecting instruments and machinery as properly as switching to reusable components about the office which can aid improve efficiency in the workplace.
In an attempt to minimize the carbon footprint, eco-dentists are opening and redesigning offices all close to the nation, incorporating concepts on how to lower, reuse, and recycle although keeping the health care method operating easily, all the whilst generating peace of brain for sufferers.
These concepts incorporate: Recycled paper supplies utilized in the reception place as effectively as decoration in the waiting room these as wallpaper, natural fiber-primarily based fabrics for the carpet and rugs and chairs, environmentally secure non-poisonous cleaners, recycled wood furniture, chemical-no cost sterilization methods, a protected mercury-disposal method, the use of sorts and databases as effectively as billing and payment by on the net discussion boards to decrease paper, reusable instrument carriers, and washable affected person bibs and disinfectant cloths, between other individuals.
Possibly the best new kind of technological innovation making headlines in the industry is digital imaging. By taking tooth and gum photos employing digital technologies rather of X-rays you can remove up to ninety % of the radiation getting sent out into the universe.
Despite the fact that most of us never ever actually want to go to the dentist besides to pay attention to the great choices on the iPods, perhaps the up coming time your teeth are due for the yearly cleansing you can preserve your eyes out for the new and improved practice employed on outdated but regular methods. Aid retain your teeth, hold your wellness intact, and clear up your community by way of eco-pleasant dentistry.

Notes From The Neighborhood: Macy's Says No The East Side
On Monday, not long after Brooklyn politicians rallied to bring the Fourth of July fireworks back to the East River, Macy's said it would stay on the Hudson this year.
"Macy's Fireworks will take place on the Hudson River, with barges positioned between 18th and 48th streets providing two miles of public viewing space," said Macy's spokesperson Orlando Veras.
State Sen. Daniel Squadron, whose Downtown Manhattan/Brooklyn district straddles the East River, and Brooklyn Council Member Stephen Levin rallied April 2 in an effort to convince Macy's to move the riverside display back east after a three-year stint on the Hudson.
In a press release, several East Side pols disparaged the merits of the Hudson because it shuts out Brooklyn and Queens and drives people to New Jersey, but in response to tweets posted by West Side Spirit and Our Town, Squadron clarified and said he wanted the display to be on both rivers.
The fireworks "will not be a permanent fixture in any one location," Veras said in an email. "Exclusively limiting the show to any particular area would greatly hinder the creative freedom that has made it the nation's best and largest Independence Day display."

My D: which is fat32 system, did it again :
Yesterday the system was working normal. Evening when I bootup, drive was shown,
but could not access, system message : "drive D: not formatted...."
Reboot system, bios refused to detect D:, lost in windows explorer.
Trying to recover by using GPARTED live CD, D: was also not detected. Panic, exit
GPARTED, shutdown, reboot, D: came back !
Simply unable to understand why that happened, the only unusal act I did was to plugin
ms Lifecam VX-700 on usb port, since I did not know howto save the webcam picture,
exited safely.
Is there any reasonable explanation. ?

Roxana's brave cancer battle
FAMILY, friends and neighbours are praying for five-year-old Roxana Roberts who has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
After enduring eight months of chemotherapy, smiley Roxana had only just started school in Torquay when a biopsy revealed yet more tumours this week.
Now doctors are fighting to get her back into remission.
Mum Sarah, of Cedar Court Road, was this week told the only hope is a bone marrow transplant.

Sarah said: "To be told she's possibly incurable is just hell. She has already been through hell herself, but the amazing thing is she can still keep smiling.
"She has asked me if she is going to die, but she doesn't know she has cancer.
"It was amazing to come home when Roxana was in remission. She started at Abbey School, but she was very shy because she has lost all her hair.
"But I knew what the result of the biopsy was going to be this week, because she hasn't been right for a couple of weeks."
Now Sarah's friends are organising a Children's Cancer charity ball at Torquay's Grosvenor Hotel and expensive raffle prizes are pouring in.
Single mum Sarah, who also has a 16-month old son, Connor, wants to raise money for cancer charities, especially CLIC House in Bristol where she has been staying during Roxana's months of treatment, and Cancer Research UK.
One of the organisers, Samantha Cooper, said: "The raffle prizes we have are very good, but we would like more because that would mean even more money for charity.
"We already have kind donations from Kents Cavern, the Steam Railway, Pennywell Farm, Play Cafe Torquay, Apollo Cinema, Torbay Bookshop, Lorren's Health Spa, Dominoes Pizza, Rainbow Fun House and the Grosvenor Hotel has given us an annual family leisure pass and a family day leisure pass.
"We will also be auctioning a two-night stay for a family of four at any Richardson Hotel. We are hoping to raise as much as we can for these charities for Roxana and her mum."
The ball will be on Friday, April 19, from 5pm to 8pm and will have a Punch and Judy show, children's entertainers, face painting and children's buffet.

text: Arizona has first chief information security officer to protect government By Howard Fischer/ Capitol Media ServicesPHOENIX - Arizona hired its first chief information security officer Wednesday, two years after auditors said that is necessary to protect government computers from hacking and the private information of people stored there. Gov. Janet Napolitano named David VanderNaalt to the post. He starts his $118,000-a-year job Sept. 17. The position is one of three created this past session by the Legislature in an effort to ensure that government computers are secure and private information cannot be "hacked.'' Chris Cummiskey, director of the state Government Information Technology Agency, said he also will hire a chief privacy officer and someone to educate state agencies about security. "The office will have a focus on improving the state's ability to protect sensitive data that citizens share with state agencies,'' he said. He said state agencies are collecting more and more private information from things ranging from license applications to tax returns. Cummiskey said that requires secure networks to ensure that information does not fall into the wrong hands. Cummiskey also said his agency will do a "vulnerability assessment'' to see how easy it is for anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to gain access to state files. "We know there are too many 'back doors' right now,'' he said. That refers to the practice by many organizations to provide an alternate method of accessing their computers other than the normal sign-in and verification process. And Cummiskey said the proliferation of state employees with laptop computers presents its own problems. For example, he said some workers access the state system through wi-fi or other wireless methods. And those signals can be picked up by other computers. That, said Cummiskey, shows the need to encrypt data so even if it is received it cannot be read. The 2005 report by Auditor General Debbie Davenport found that hackers had gained access four times in the prior four years to state agency computers. Davenport said the successful attacks prove the state needs to do more to protect its computer networks. She said an examination of the systems of 11 major state agencies showed not just flaws making them liable to security breaches, but gaps that allowed viruses to infect the computers. Davenport said staffers also found problems in ensuring that private information on state computers remains private. It was in that report Davenport said some of the problems can be solved by creating a chief security officer who would be charged with ensuring that all agencies follow security standards - and following up with those that do not. Davenport also said the state should have a chief privacy officer. Cummiskey said he had to wait until this year when lawmakers approved the funding and authorization. VanderNaalt has been working for New York City in the dual position of director of citywide information security and citywide emergency continuity planning. Prior to that he worked for American Express where he developed the company's first system-wide security program. |

Gizmos A Gizmo provides a means of adding functionality to GMS WebMail by interfacing with external data sources. This is more commonly known as mashup technology. A mashup is a small web application that allows the combination of data from more than one source into a single integrated tool. Gizmos are based on the "greasemonkey" approach - greasemonkey is an add on for the Mozilla Firefox web browser that allows users to install scripts that modify web pages on the fly. By utilising this approach, it means that many of the freely available scripts already written for Greasemonkey and Firefox can be easily adapted to integrate with GMS WebMail. For a directory of scripts that you could potentially modify for use with WebMail in your environment, see Userscripts.org (opens in a new window). Full instructions on writing Gizmos, including the available functions, are available in the Gizmos section of the GMS Reference Guide. From version 15.02 build 3689, support for jQuery is also included to further enhance Gizmo capabilities. As a starting point we have provided a number of Gizmos within GMS WebMail, further examples are available within the GMS Accessory Pack. These examples have been designed to show what can be achieved using Gizmo technology. If you need help writing a Gizmo, join the Gizmo mailing list, and ask your question there. You can join the mailing list from our User Groups page. If you create a Gizmo you would like to share, why not email email@example.com, and we will make the Gizmo available to other users through the Gizmo Gallery. The current list of Gizmos includes some which are included in the product by default, the remainder of those listed below are in the GMS Accessory Pack
In the Gizmo gallery below, you can see what options are available to you,
and what effect each of these has when enabled. As the source of all of these
Gizmos is included, you can amend, modify or enhance these in any way you need to!
Gizmo Gallery Firefox 3 MailToWhen enabled, Firefox 3 users will be able to click on any MailTo link in a website and launch a compose window in GMS WebMail. Mouse GesturesWhen enabled, users can perform mouse gestures to navigate through messages in their mailbox or perform actions on a selected message. The default actions are:
RSS ReaderImplements an RSS Reader within the GMS interface. A configuration screen is included allowing you to subscribe to your chosen RSS Feeds. This Gizmo demonstrates:
MimicAllows sorting of the GMS tree in a similar manner to Outlook, i.e. it mimics Outlooks behavior. This Gizmo demonstrates:
BreakMonitors usage patterns within WebMail and forces users to take a break, useful from a Health & Safety perspective. This is a good example of an Admin Gizmo, which the end user has no control over. This Gizmo demonstrates:
Compose QuizInteracts with the Send button when composing an email. If you try and send an email within the configured period you have to complete a short quiz before you the message will be sent, Uses can include preventing the sending of messages when you may not be fully alert, or can be used educationally for school pupils. This Gizmo demonstrates:
ComposeDisplays/Hides features within the Compose window, such as the BCC and Attachments fields. There are two examples of this Gizmo, one using GreaseMonkey code and the other using jQuery code. This Gizmo demonstrates:

systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
Tags | Boot Systems Administration |
Licenses | GPLv2+ |

Implementation | C |
Translations | English |
Release Notes: The boot-time readahead implementation for rotating media will now read the read-ahead data in multiple passes which consist of all read requests made in equidistant time intervals.
Release Notes: Configuration of unit files may now be extended via drop-in files. systemctl gained a "list-dependencies" command. Resource limits can be controlled at runtime. The vconsole setup will apply font settings to all VTs.
Release Notes: Timer units now support calendar time events. udev now supports a number of different naming policies for network interfaces for predictable names. bootchart has been added to the systemd tree. A number of PolicyKit actions are now bound together with "imply" rules.
Release Notes: udev gained support for loading additional device properties from an indexed database keyed by dev identifiers. The Journal gained support for the "Message Catalog", an indexed database to link up additional information with journal entries.
Release Notes: This release supports the "--since" and "--until" options to filter by time. The journal daemon now supports time-based rotation. It will also index available field values for each field name.
4MLinux uses udev from systemd now, and this true that most of its dependencies (libdbus and so on) are needed to compile udev, but the "ready-made" udev works well without them. Nevertheless, UDEV IS A LOW LEVEL UTILITY, meaning that it should avoid "dependency hell" as much as possible.
Merging udev into systemd was a stupid idea. Why not merge udev into Gnome ? If someone needs a small udev utility he will have to install Gnome first :-)

The 2011 municipal election year is upon us, and many people are deciding whether to run for a municipal office. Others have decided to take the plunge and are already starting to develop a campaign plan. The municipal election, in terms of numbers of candidates, is actually larger than a general election.
So it's time to again publish our handy list of campaign functions. Reading through the list can help prospective candidates decide if they really want to seek office and have to deal with all these aspects of a political campaign.
Those writing a campaign plan can use the list to make sure their plan covers every element that needs to be addressed.
So here is a simple checklist (in no particular order) to make certain you're aware of each campaign function:
- Issues research/positions, white papers. What do you stand for? What are the issues of most concern to you? How will you solve the problems your jurisdiction faces? You need to develop your positions and be able to talk about them and debate articulately. You will need to produce white papers, press releases and talking points about the issues and your philosophy of government. This includes opposition research. Issues really matter in campaigns, and you want your campaign to be substantive.
- Survey research. Use qualitative and quantitative research to determine your strengths and weaknesses with voters, including geographically and among demographic groups, how you stand vis-a-vis opponents, how voters feel about the key issues. Use research also to test messages and positions. Never run an advertisement without testing it first with focus groups.
- Fundraising. Figure out a campaign budget and put together a plan to raise sufficient funds. Be aware of and carefully campaign finance laws. Have a good accounting system. Develop a list of potential donors and go after them. The candidate is always the best fundraiser.
- Targeting. Figure out who the real voters are, who is likely to vote for you, and who can be persuaded. Spend all of your resources and efforts focused on them, not with people who never vote. Determine your 50% plus 1 number so you know how many votes you need to win and where you will get those votes.
- Scheduling/Events. Schedule all campaign activities, including walking neighborhoods, speeches, appearances, etc. Schedule as much as you can for the entire campaign so you can see the campaign unfold in a timeline. Work back from major events/milestones like the primary and general election, to schedule all your activities and emphasize the big things that must be done.
- Grassroots organizing. You should recruit a campaign captain in every voting district in your election district. That captain will run a mini-campaign in that voting district for you, distributing literature, making phone calls, defending you against criticism, encouraging neighbors and friends to support you, etc. Where do you get these people? Develop a system to communicate with and receive feedback from these voting district captains. Keep track of all contacts made, including those by district captains and other surrogates.
- Endorsements/coalition building. To give your campaign credibility, develop a list of prominent people who endorse you; encourage organizations with members or employees to support you and work for your election effort. Ask them to run a mini-campaign on your behalf within their organizations or associations. They have their own communications channels. Keep track of all supporters identified through grassroots organization and coalition building.
- Communications. This is a big one. Develop a communications plan for earned media, paid media, and direct-to-voter contact with a campaign Web site, social media, brochures, press kit, press releases, e-mail newsletter, white papers, etc. Gather as many e-mail addresses of voters in your district as you possibly can, and communicate frequently with them. Plan paid advertising (newspaper, TV, radio) carefully, staying within your budget. Target carefully with direct mail. Look for opportunities to place stories and positive mentions in the news media. Pay attention to your on-line profile and aggressively use tools such as Facebook and Twitter.
- Get out the vote. Develop a plan to get your supporters out to vote on election day. In close races, this can make the difference between winning or losing.

Liquidating Dividend
Definition of 'Liquidating Dividend'A type of payment made by a corporation to its shareholders during its partial or full liquidation. For the most part, such a distribution is made from the company's capital base, and as a return of capital, is typically not taxable for shareholders. This distinguishes a liquidating dividend from regular dividends, which are issued from the company's operating profits or retained earnings.Also called liquidating distribution. |
Investopedia explains 'Liquidating Dividend'A liquidating dividend may be made in one or more installments. In the U.S., a corporation paying out liquidating dividends will issue to its shareholders a Form 1099-DIV showing the amount of the distribution.Despite the tax advantages, investors who receive liquidation dividends often find that they do not cover their initial investment. |

Tim Patrick
Last night I popped along to the private view of Tim Patrick's exhibtion 'Paintings of Light and Quiet' at Gallery 40 in Brighton's North Laine. It was a refreshing and inspiring evening's viewing; compounding my reawakened love of paint. I wont spend too long expounding the many virtues of Tim's work but instead would encourage everyone to get along there as soon as possible to see some fine examples of contemporary figure painting.
The show finishes on the 5th June, you can read more about Tim on his website: www.timpatrick.co.uk

It's Saturday night. The weekend is only half over. So far this weekend has seen a pied crow with an apparently broken wing, the return (yet again) of Squirtle the Bell's Hingeback Tortoise, several lizards, a white tree frog with orange feet, two millipedes, a brownish tree frog with red feet, assorted bugs, a blue headed agama, and last but not least, the African pygmy hedgehog currently eating a cricket in my kitchen. Thankfully there have been no spiders or snakes, yet.
I am not sure why my kids spend so much time watching Animal Planet or NatGeo Wild. They are far more entertaining, and often more terrifying than anything I've yet seen on either channel. Currently the boys are watching Austin Stevens chase hyenas around Africa. I have no idea why, and it seems like a spectacularly bad idea to me, but the boys seem to be into it.
Colin wants to have an animal TV show when he an adult. Considering what my daily life looks like I am betting he could just make that happen. He has a plan. He will go to the Coast Guard academy getting his degree in biological-environmental sciences. This part of the plan may or may not be heavily influenced by Dad. Then after he serves his time as an officer he will return to college to get his masters in herpetology, then he figures he should be ready for his own television show.
Update on assorted animals: The pied crow did not have a broken wing. We think possibly one of the guards had thrown a rock at him, and he was stunned, but not really hurt. Dave was able to walk right up to the bird and pick him up. We took him to the wildlife center but when David opened the basket it simply flew away. David was pretty surprised. Most of the lizards, both frogs, and the millipedes were released unharmed. A couple of lizards did become snake food because snakes need to eat too. The hedgehog will be released before bedtime even if I have to do it myself. Squirtle has yet again taken up residence in the large konde, oh yay. Sarcasm intended. I am sure that tomorrow will bring more animals. At least my life is rarely boring.
I spoke too soon. While I was editing pictures for this post the cry went up "SNAKE!!" and now all the boys, including David, are outside with the guard looking for a snake, in the garden, in the dark, in Malawi. This seems like an even worse idea than chasing hyenas around Africa but there you have it, a future Animal Planet star in the making. I really hope they DON'T find it. Nope, my life is rarely boring.

Start filming now!! You already got it going on in the backyard - just send in the tapes and see what happens! Bet you he has his nature show before long and college will be paid for!
Hoping that the snake went away - after spending a weekend with puff adders and other creepy crawlies in South Africa, I can't imagine purposely chasing one down! - November 27, 2011 at 5:18 PM

Wellthatwasdifferent - I wish my boys would find more hedgehogs and fewer bugs and snakes. They are way cuter. If we had anyway of taking care of it and feeding it properly I would be really tempted to keep it, but it is better for that critter to be in the yard.
Nomads so far, although we have found many snakes in the yard, none of them have been of the dangerous variety. I still live in fear. I have heard one too many people talk about finding spitting cobras or boomslangs in their yard to relax. - November 28, 2011 at 6:40 AM

Such great pics and great experiences for your family. Though I grew up in the US Midwest, I drug home more pets that my mom cared for too. Ask my husband... on our first date hiking, I drug a snapping turtle home... but for dinner. Ahh, redneck at heart.

This Sunday, Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) appeared on Univision's Al Punto with Jorge Ramos to talk about immigration and Arizona's new immigration law, SB-1070. In the interview, Brewer insisted she was not a racist and proclaimed that she loves Latinos. "I love them from the bottom of my heart," Brewer told Ramos:
RAMOS: I remember having an interview with him [Arpaio] and he told me that some people call him racist. Are you concerned that some people might think the same thing of you?
BREWER: Not only am I concerned, it's really disappointing to me. I've lived in the southwest my whole life. I've got many friends, of many cultures and certainly a great deal of them are Hispanics, and I love them from the bottom of my heart. I love everybody Jorge, from the bottom of my heart.
RAMOS: Do you feel rejected by the Hispanic community?
BREWER: I feel that I'm somewhat hurt that they would think that I would be a racist, you know. And I was… and a bigot and that I would stand by and allow any kind of racial profiling or anything like that to take place.
Watch it [in Spanish]:
However, Brewer stood by many of the comments that have most offended the Latino community, describing the controversy surrounding her erroneous claim that illegal immigration has led to beheadings in the Arizona desert as a simple "misunderstanding." Brewer told Ramos she has "no idea" what to do about the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and has "not a clue of what an undocumented, anybody looks like." According to Brewer, racial profiling "is illegal in Arizona," so therefore "Senate Bill 1070 didn't have anything to do with that." Wonk Room has more on Brewer's defense of statements she's made connecting illegal immigration to violence and criminality.

WOW, what a comeback. After falling behind 2-0 after 20 minutes through two strikes from Brian McBride, Wizards goalkeeper Kevin Hartman makes four brilliant second-half stops to keep the team alive, and Josh Wolf scores his first two goals of the year to earn a valuable road point. Claudio Lopez assisted on both Wolff efforts to reach 10 assists in a Wizards uniform. There are a million other tidbits from tonight, but instead of re-typing them all here, I'll let you look below. The Wizards remain in 3rd in the East behind Chicago and New England with seven points on the year. Hopefully I didn't miss any on this breathtaking evening. Who was your man of the match? Let us know below.
· Kansas City is now 9-19-7 all-time against Chicago, including a 2-13-2 record away from home.
· Kansas City scored two goals after the 75th minute to tie the match after Chicago went ahead 2-0 in the first half.
· The Wizards have now come from two goals down to tie or win a match 12 times in club history.
· After a 1-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC last weekend, the Wizards have now secured road results in back-to-back games for the first time since July 4 and July 17 of 2008 when the Wizards tied FC Dallas 1-1 and the Columbus Crew 3-3, respectively.
· The Wizards have not been shutout in the last 17 MLS regular-season matches, dating back to 8/2/08 at D.C. United.
· Kansas City has posted five shutouts of its own during that stretch.
· Striker Josh Wolff recorded his 8th career multi-goal game and his 3rd such performance in a Kansas City uniform.
· Wolff recorded his first 2 goals of the season, giving the veteran 64 for his career that started with Chicago.
· Wolff has played 199 career MLS matches.
· He ranks 16th in MLS history in goals scored and 9th among active players.
· Wolff now has 32 career goals in a Wizards uniform.
· He leapfrogged former Wizards standout Mo Johnston to move into 4th place on the team's all-time list.
· Wolff currently trails Preki (71), Chris Klein (39) and current teammate Davy Arnaud (35) on Kansas City's all-time goals chart.
· Wolff has now scored 5 goals against Chicago, the team with which he started his MLS career.
· Argentine striker Claudio Lopez assisted on both of Wolff's goals for his 2nd and 3rd helpers of the season.
· Lopez now has 10 assists in a Wizards uniform after recording 7 last year in his first MLS season.
· Lopez now has 2 multi-assist games for Kansas City.
· Second-half substitute Michael Harrington assisted Wolff's 2nd goal, his 1st assist of the year.
· Harrington now has 7 assists in his 3-year career.
· With Chicago's first goal, the Wizards shutout streak ended at 208 minutes.
· Goalkeeper Kevin Hartman made 6 saves on the night, including 4 remarkable second-half efforts to keep Kansas City within striking distance.
· Hartman now has 1148 career saves and ranks 1st all-time in MLS in this category.
· Kansas City was without goalkeeper Eric Kronberg, defender Chance Myers, defender Matt Marquess, midfielder Graham Zusi and striker Adam Cristman due to injury.
· Kansas City was well-supported Saturday in Chicago. Defenders Aaron Hohlbein and Matt Besler each had a large contingent of family and friends at the match and around 20 members of the KC Cauldron traveled to Chicago for the game.
· The Cauldron also hosted a watch party Saturday night at Coach's Bar and Grill on 103rd street near Wornall in KCMO.
· The Wizards next game comes this Thursday, April 23 at 7 p.m. CT against the New York Red Bulls in a nationally televised match on ESPN2.
· That night, the first 5,000 fans into CommunityAmerica Ballpark will receive a Jimmy Conrad bobblehead courtesy of Time Warner Cable.
· IRL and NASCAR Truck Series drivers will also be on hand to mingle with fans and sign autographs before the match.
· A B2 Bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base will fly over the stadium just before kickoff with a Jimmy Conrad bobblehead on board.

House and Senate budget negotiators resumed talks today, but still have not resolved differences over how to fund veterans homes and health care for the blind.
They agreed on numerous budget items that have garnered little to no controversy. The House won out on its proposed pay raise for state workers – those earning under $70,000 a year would get a 2 percent raise starting in July. Kirk Schaefer (R, Columbia), the Senate's chief negotiator, says he didn't mind accepting the House's position on pay raises.
The Missouri Senate passed a $24 billion state budget early this morning, following several hours of debate and closed-door negotiations.
The Senate spending plan for FY2013 directly challenges the Missouri House's position on blind pensions. By a narrow margin, Senators restored $28 million in state funding cut by the House last month, while leaving in $18 million in federal Medicaid dollars. Senate Appropriations Chairman Kurt Schaefer (R, Columbia) says they now have more room to maneuver when negotiations with the House begin on the final version of the budget.
Updated 1:21 with story from WBEZ.
Reporting from WBEZ's Sam Hudzik used in this report.
A victory today for a public employee union in Illinois.
An arbitrator says Governor Pat Quinn cannot cancel pay raises promised to state workers, but the issue is far from settled.

Sex…and the Civil Rights Bill
Forty-seven years ago this past Saturday, Martin Luther King, Jr., touched a nation with his inspiring words. Just six months later in February of 1964, one small but powerful word was added to the House version of the divisive Civil Rights Act. Representative Howard Smith of Virginia sponsored an amendment to the bill—he added the word "sex" to the list of categories [...]

Number of hunters increases in state, nationally
Over the past five years Tennessee has seen an increase in the number of people who hunt and fish, reversing a decades-long decline and reflecting similar growth nationally.
According to a recent national survey, 923,000 Tennesseans last year either hunted and/or fished. That represents 19 percent of the state's population, higher than the 16% nationally.
Along with the 19% who hunt and/or fish are 43% of Tennesseans who participate in some sort of outdoors activity such as hiking, canoeing and wildlife watching.
Barry Summers, Chief of Planning for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, says the increase in hunting/fishing participants is not dramatic – about four percent – but at least it signals a reverse in the downward trend.
In Tennessee a combination license can be purchased that covers both hunting/fishing, so there is no way to determine whether the buyer intends to hunt, fish or do both. Also many Lifetime Licenses continue to be sold, making it impossible to determine the exact number of participants annually.
The national survey used additional data, in addition to license sales, to come up with its figures. The U.S. Census Bureau, for example, interviewed households across the country to obtain samples of sportspersons and wildlife viewers.
It found that 13.7 million (6% of the U.S. population 16 and older) went hunting. Those hunters spent $34 billion on trips, equipment, licenses and other items.
More than 33 million people 16 and older fished in 2011, spending $41.8 billion on trips, equipment, incenses and other items.
In Tennessee hunting and fishing is a vital part of the state's economy, contributing billions of dollars directly and indirectly.
The number of hunters is significant because it reflects strong political base at a time when hunting is under fire on several fronts.
In Tennessee, the TWRA and its many programs – including non-game management and recreational boating patrols – is financed almost entirely by license sales. Despite a sagging economy the Agency has been able to tighten its belt and avoid any license hike.
Obviously the more people who hunt and fish, the more revenue will be produced – both to support the TWRA's wildlife management and for the state's economy.
Even wildlife watchers who don't hurt or fish benefit from those activities because hunters and fishermen foot the bills for almost all of the state's wildlife management and non-game programs.
Wildlife watchers and photographers, example, enjoy the elk-viewing viewing areas provided and maintained by the TWRA, which restored wild elk to the state after a decade's absence.
And bird watchers who enjoy the annual migrations of the sandhill cranes are able to do so thanks primarily to hunter-funded refuges and other habitat – while many of those same bird watchers oppose hunting.
The increase in hunters – and the related revenue – benefits everyone.
