Inside DiMaggio & Monroe's twisted love
In the fall of 1954, weeks after Marilyn Monroe filed for divorce, a devastated Joe DiMaggio turned to the one man who understood: Frank Sinatra.
Both were American icons, both were of Italian descent and had friends in the mob, and both had been publicly left, in spectacular fashion, by their sex-bomb wives.
Sinatra had just hired a private investigator to trail Ava Gardner, his great obsession and soon-to-be ex.
Sinatra offered the same services to DiMaggio. He had Monroe's phone bugged, and when she moved into the Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue,... Read More

Some three decades late, the Hungarian-born actress Eva Bartok claimed that her daughter, Deana, born in 1957 during Bartok's marriage to the actor Curd Jürgens, was actually fathered by Sinatra, during a brief affair that he and Bartok had had following his breakup in 1956 with the sultry Ava Gardner. Sinatra never acknowledged paternity.
Had numerous #1 albums, and seven #1 singles (or more, depending on whether you include the songs he sang fronting a big-band): "Five Minutes More", "Leanin' the Blues", "Mam'selle", "Oh! What It Seemed To Be" "Strangers in the Night", "All Or Nothing At All" with the Harry James Band, and "Somethin' Stupid", shared with his daughter Nancy Sinatra. He also has four #1 hits singing as the front singer of the Tommy Dorsey Band, although he was not directly credited as the artist. These include "I'll Never Smile Again", "Dolores", "There Are Such Things", "In The Blue Of Evening".

Get smoother, skirt-worthy legs
I know lots of women who have slim legs but refuse to wear skirts because of unsightly varicose or spider veins. Though heredity plays a role, your genes don't have to doom you to a life of long pants. Visible veins occur when blood vessel walls weaken, collapse, and pool with blood. Building stronger leg muscles can diminish their appearance by improving circulation; exercise, like the moves below, may also prevent spider veins from spreading. Do two sets of 12 to 15 repetitions of each exercise, resting 1 minute between sets. Perform two or three sessions a week, but not on consecutive days.
Quad Shaper
Wearing 1-pound ankle weights (add more weight if this feels easy), sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place your hands behind you for balance. Bend your left knee, placing your left foot flat on the floor.
With your right foot flexed, contract your right thigh and raise your heel 6 to 12 inches off the floor, keeping your leg straight. Pause for 1 second and then lower. Complete two sets before switching legs.
Plii with Heel Lift
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out. Place your hands on your hips and bend your knees, lowering yourself into a partial squat.
Lift your heels and balance on the balls of your feet, deepening your squat until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Hold for 1 second and then lower both heels as you return to standing.

A stretch of Hankes Road on Aurora's Far West Side will be closed Wednesday through Saturday to update culverts under the roadway.
Hankes will be closed between Galena Boulevard and Blackberry Ridge Drive so that crews can replace the existing corrugated metal pipes underneath Hankes approximately 700 feet north of Galena with a large concrete box culvert. Motorists will be detoured on Hankes to Deerpath Road, to Indian Trail, to Orchard Road, and back to Galena.
Drivers should expect delays, and are advised to slow down in the construction area and be alert for workers, Aurora officials said.Tags: roadwork

Absoluely Amazing!! Where to start the praises?? I have the 580 green mirror lenses and it is incredible. Sunny or cloudy days don't matter, you can see everything. I even use them for driving and can't tell the difference between coudy and sunny. Def worth the money June 24, 2011
Absolutely the best glasses I've ever had I bought these with the 580 Green Mirror lenses and cannot say enough great things about them. The moment I put them on I could tell how great they were going to be on the water. Absolutely crystal clear vision! I went down to a pond here by my house and saw underwater structure that I never noticed before. I could also see the bass starting to bed up, better than I have ever seen before. I was hesitant to drop $250 on a pair of shades, but I can guarantee you that they are worth every penny. I highly recommend these for sight bass fishing and inshore specks and reds as well.

I guess Sprint's $5 a share offer was too rich for Dish's blood, causing them to fold on their Clearwire acquisition. They announced today via press release that they are now formally withdrawning their bid to purchase Clearwire, with nothing standing in the way of the soon-to-be-Softbank-owned Sprint. This finally ends a brutal bidding war for Clearwire and their spectrum. With a valuation of around $14 billion, Sprint's going to have to dig deep into their pockets to find the money for Clearwire. Enjoy your victory, Sprint.

SearchAll Refuges
Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge is managed as part of the Southwest Florida Gulf Coast Refuge Complex. A National Wildlife Refuge Complex is an administrative grouping of two or more refuges, wildlife management areas or other refuge conservation areas that are primarily managed from a central office location. Refuges are grouped into a complex structure because they occur in a similar ecological region, such as a watershed or specific habitat type, and have a related purpose and management needs. Typically, a project leader or complex manager oversees the general management of all refuges within the complex and refuge managers are responsible for operations at specific refuges. Supporting staff, composed of administrative, law enforcement, refuge manager, biological, fire, visitor services, and maintenance professionals, are centrally located and support all refuges within the complex.

FROM THE 1960s: Are Students' Questions a Valid Criterion for Evaluating Creative Teaching?
Julia Adkins
December 2006, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 46
The article describes the author's discovery made in a plane geometry class that type of questions asked by students may reflect creativity of teaching as opposed to traditional teacher's evaluation by quality of questions asked by the teacher. Describing her experience the author comes to defining of two levels of creative teaching: level one where the teacher asks thought-provoking questions and a higher level where students generate questions leading towards discovery of new relationships.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

In lieu of an organized Commenter Of the Week this week, we just went ahead and commissioned a guest post from Marthaler about the first game at TCF Bank Stadium. We think he would be honored to have his post share space with that picture you see, sent to Patrick Reusse by a reader named Denny (not Green nor Hecker) along with a rather unflattering commentary about his writing abilities, and then forwarded to us by Reusse. The print might be a little small from here, but it is said to be portable toilets near the stadium Saturday that have signs that say "Pat Reusse Memorial" on them. When reached for comment, Reusse said, "The only thing that offends me is the 'memorial' part. That's just wishful thinking on the part of Gophers fans."
Ah, it's good to have football back on campus. Jon?
You might be an experienced Gopher fan, like me. You might have spent years going to the Metrodome on Saturdays. You might have been to the Barn for big basketball nights, might have climbed the steps at Mariucci for #1 vs. #2 hockey battles, might have seen everything maroon and gold there was to see. And if you were not at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday evening, you have no idea, because it was entirely different than what you've seen before.
For fans in other Big Ten and college football cities, I'm sure the whole experience is old hat by now. But to see it all on a place as homey and familiar as the Minnesota campus, it was enough to raise the hairs on the back of my neck over and over, all evening. Hundreds of maroon-and-gold-clad students piled into - and atop - a party house on 15th Avenue. Swarms of similarly-outfitted Gopher fans rushing down University Avenue to see the team walk into the stadium. Campus alive with college spirit, from old alumni trudging slowly down Fourth Street, to scores of fans tailgating away on campus for the first time in three decades, to dads far and wide playing quarterback with maroon mini-footballs, hitting scurrying, beaming kids in stride on fly patterns and post routes in parking lots and ramps all over the East Bank.
By the time the band had come flying onto the field for the very first time, by the time the Air Force F-16s had roared overhead as the Gophers rushed out of the tunnel, by the time the scoreboard showed Murray Warmath waving happily and Bud Grant weeping at the enormity of the long-awaited, long-desired return to campus of Golden Gopher football, forget goosebumps, plural. Try goosebump, singular, one large. Troy Stoudemire's opening kickoff return to midfield nearly lifted the stadium off of the foundations. You could have forgiven the ten thousand students in the east end zone for rushing the field to tear down the goalpost.
Of course, after all of that, there had to be a football game, and for three quarters it looked like it might be the one part of the evening that didn't live up to the hype. Air Force executed its decades-old offense, piling forward for five yards a play, fullback Tew banging between the tackles or quarterback Jefferson dashing around end, keeping the ball himself or pitching to a wingback. The Gophers, meanwhile, couldn't quite get unstuck on offense. When Jefferson, having successfully lulled the Minnesota defense to sleep with run after run, faded back to hit a lonely wideout for the stadium's first touchdown, it was 10-3 to the Falcons with less than twenty minutes to play.
I said things were entirely different. The whole night represented an incredible paradigm shift; it's almost impossible how much the move back to campus immediately changed the culture, the entire feeling of Gopher football. Given this, it's hardly surprising that the shift seemed to be transmitted to both players and fans. In the past, both might have slumped their shoulders. This time, just over four minutes later, Gopher tailback DeLeon Eskridge banged his way into the end zone to tie the score, the crowd threw its collective hands to the sky, and the roars cascaded down from the upper tiers. Four Air Force plays later, Jefferson again rushed around right end, losing the football along the way. The ball bounced sweetly - entirely different, no? - right to Nate Triplett, who turned to the west end zone with no other Falcon in sight.
It ignores much of the fourth quarter, but that'll be my memory of the Gophers' win over Air Force, of the first night back on campus in TCF Bank Stadium: Nate Triplett, all alone, sprinting towards a thousand joyous Gopher fans, towards Williams Arena, towards the Minneapolis skyline. I've been a part of many things, but nothing even remotely approaching that. It's all different now. It's all goosebumps. It's all wonderful.

Yesterday we learned that Mr. Noun Plus Verb Plus 9/11 isn't quite dead politically:
Rudy Giuliani is launching a new fund-raising committee to dole out cash to New York GOP candidates -- a move that could help him collect political chits as he weighs a run for governor, The Post has learned.
...Sources close to Giuliani said the state fund-raising venture is simply "him keeping his options open" for his future. But several sources say the former mayor is eyeing a gubernatorial run in 2010....
Today we learn that he's not exactly accompanying this return to politics with a deeper focus on effective political governance:

Great jacket, is warmer than I expected, probably because it cuts the wind out of equation. I wear an x-large american size, ordered X-Large in this size and came European XXL, which is perfect!
Aaron Dean
Member since
Just so that others aren't confused on ordering their size, it does fit true to size and they should order their American size.
The XXL size you see on the tag should also be accompanied by notation of the US size XL.

Man arrested after police say he brought gun inside school
Updated On: Apr 04 2014 09:12:03 PM CDT
Greenfield police said they arrested a 74-year-old man on suspicion of carrying a handgun into Whitnall Middle School on Thursday.
Authorities said a custodian at the school saw the handgun in a holster on the man's hip. Police said the man was at a table waiting to pick up a student.
The man was taken into custody Friday afternoon after the school resource officer reviewed surveillance video.
Police said the handgun was taken as evidence and is in police custody. Police said the suspect did not have any ill intent, and authorities do not believe students or staff members were in danger.

How selective is Monitor Group??
How selective are they? I have experience in accounting/ibanking/consulting....but i only have a 3.3 gpa and i go to a non-target school. Are they much more focused on gpa? Do i even have a shot? Thanks
3.3 GPA, not looking goodIB
3.3 GPA, not looking good man. Hate to be the bearer of bad news
with that GPA, I'd lookCO
with that GPA, I'd look elsewhere, especially in this market
It's not the GPA that kills you - it's being from a non-target. In this market Monitor now only focuses their recruitment efforts on a very limited number of schools.
You'll have a serious uphillCO
You'll have a serious uphill fight. Monitor may not be MBB but it's still a very selective/prestigious shop.
Monitor is just as selectiveO
Monitor is just as selective as MBB for undergrads (maybe a little bit more so, since I believe they recruit at fewer schools).
Yea, plenty of kids fromO
Yea, plenty of kids from Harvard/MIT want to stay in the city for the summer with their friends.
For FT, alumni are fairly concentrated as well.
You'll definitely want to look elsewhere having a 3.3 non-target.

2007 Ford Fusion Overview

Based on 46 reviews
The 2007 Ford Fusion is Ford's bid for the mid-size family sedan market: it's a family sedan in the tradition of the beloved Taurus, but it's jazzed up with performance, technology, and style.

Canadian officials on Monday announced the arrests of two men who were planning a major terror plot against Canadian passenger train service.
During a press conference in Ottawa, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the suspects were taken into custody in Toronto and Montreal.
Chiheb Esseghaier, a 30-year-old Montreal resident, seen above in police custody, and 35-year-old Raed Jaser of Toronto allegedly watched trains and railways in the greater Toronto area with the intent to carry out an al-Qaida supported attack.
Neither suspect is a Canadian citizen.
However, authorities said the attack was never more than a plan and public safety was not compromised.
A source familiar with the matter told NY1 the potential routes that may have been targeted include a route from New York City to Toronto.
Police say the arrests came after an extensive investigation that dated back to last summer and included multiple agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"The individuals were receiving support by al-Qaida elements located in Iran," said James Malizia of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "Now, I can tell you that there's no information to indicate that these attacks were state-sponsored."
"It was a real threat to the economy, a real threat for a lot of reasons. And that was a real threat. Not an imminent threat, but it was something very serious," said Gaetan Courchesne of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Police executed search warrants at several locations in Toronto and Montreal on Monday.
The two suspects are due in court on Tuesday for a bail hearing.

Video: Powerful One of a Young Israeli Woman offering an Apology, and Comfort to Gazans under SiegeSubmitted by AtlantaIconoclast on Wed, 07/16/2014 - 10:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktRJ-kKPMyM is the original video from Naomi Levari herself. Notice that the headline in the first link mislabels her as a boy. Sorry for the error. But she is Israeli, so this is not Islamic propaganda, contrary to what some claim.
This video of a young Israeli woman restores my faith in humanity, just a little. She pours out her heart about the suffering of Gazans, apologizes for the actions of Israel, and offers what little comfort he can. We need more people in the world like this, wise enough to feel empathy for "the other."

Yes, you're correct.
Naomi is a girl's name, this is a girl not a boy.

Do u have a link to her original video? I got this from someone else's YouTube channel.
All Zionist are Jews but not
All Zionist are Jews but not all Jews are Zionist -- we should keep this in mind.
Not all Zionists are Jewish.
Personally, I know many avid Zionists, both Jewish and Christian.
Glad to see this video posted. I strongly believe the people of Israel would see it that way, if they stopped listening to the MSM talking points and the government rhetoric.
"It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life."

Sorry, to say
but most won't feel this way, because they have been taught they are 'chosen' superior beings to the goy, and could care less what happens to them. Until, they realize they are equal with all Gods people their attitude will never change, neither will the end result. It's not like this is a new concept, as it's been going on since, the Pharisees took control of the Sanhedren, and has been repeated with the lower class Jews always getting to pay the price. However, in Palestine, before the Zionist Bolshevik terrorists drove the British out and took control of the land Jews, Christians and Muslims lived peacefully on the land.
They are in (what I call) "Crash" mode.
"It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life."

I know you weren't expecting a bump from some one who supports
the right of Israelis to have the homeland granted by GB and the UN, but here it is. Just because I believe Israel has a right to the land doesn't mean I agree with everything the current administration does. Israel has shown restraint, but there are far better ways of dealing with rocket fire (IMHO) than returning it. A covert operation that finds the missile silos and targets them would be a much better solution than one that targets civilians needlessly.

I am not an International
I am not an International lawyer but I am quite sure Apartheid is against international law. Israel is not a democracy -- the last time I checked non-jews are a majority in Israel, they have only a two percent representation in the Knessent. The non-jews are treated much like the native Americans were treated in the 1800s in his country when President Andrew Jackson uprooted them and force marched them from the eastern US to Oklahoma (trail of tears) -- over 20% died enroute. That begs the question, where is our humanity in all of this?
Would everyone who watches
Would everyone who watches this video, please share w family and friends? Let's make it viral. Most Americans have no idea that even many Israelis oppose their brutal, apapartheid government.

Sean Combs by Tana Lee Alves/ WireImage.com
Sean "Diddy" Combs doesn't just want to have a presence on TV, he wants to take it over. The next step in his master plan is to air his brand new show (he already has Run's House and Making the Band running on MTV) on Mondays, 9 pm/ET on VH1. It's an Apprentice-like show that will end (hopefully) with Diddy having a fabulous new personal assistant. Apparently, candidates on Craigslist weren't cutting it. I Want to Work for Diddy will start out with 13 candidates who will compete for the coveted assistant title. Combs insists that the show isn't just another Apprentice, and that it "isn't about just seeing if I could find someone to work for me. It's about people chasing their dreams."

Our Adder
Photo by Marek Szczepanek.
At the age of eleven, Adrian, Phil and I discovered that there were lizards on Hayes Common, the South London heath a few miles out from where we lived. We already kept newts in fish tanks, and frogs and toads in old metal baths in our gardens. Now these lizards entered our imaginations. They were difficult to catch. You had to spot them at a distance. They basked in little clearings beside the paths, their brown bodies flattened to warm in the sun. When you saw one, you crept towards it until your hand was near enough to grab. Usually your hand closed on nothing, but sometimes you felt a scrabbling warm body. We got better at it, and by the end of the summer had thirty-three, in a large zinc bath planted with tussocks.
In the next two years, our zoo got larger. We had grass snakes, slow worms, two kinds of frog, two kinds of newt, a huge female toad, a nest of voles and an eel in a water butt. As well as the little brown common lizards, we had big gold-flecked green lizards from the pet shop. Our evenings were spent catching spiders and grasshoppers. At school we were known for this hobby; we took pride in it, felt admired. Other kids asked us for tours of the zoo, and we showed them around condescendingly, feeding a toad or lizard from our fingers, dropping worms into the depths for the eel. We did this with an air of remoteness, as if gazing into the wild distance with an understanding that the others couldn't share. Our zoo needed something more thrilling, more dangerous, we had decided. We wanted an adder.
But how would we catch one? We had considered this question. An adder picked up by the tip of the tail wouldn't be able to bring its head up to bite, Phil Our zoo needed something more thrilling, more dangerous, we had decided. We wanted an adder. announced. You could safely dangle it into a collecting bag. This he had discovered in an old book, written, it said, for boys who loved adventure. But don't pick up baby adders, the book warned, for these were capable of curling up to bite you, and were full of poison. For adult vipers, the method was safe, and better than grabbing behind the head, because a snake held at the neck might edge its head sideways and put a fang into your finger. We nodded wisely.
When we next met, Adrian produced an old biker's glove, a thick leather gauntlet that surely the fangs wouldn't pierce. But we only had the one.
In our largest zinc bath, we planted tussocks and arranged logs, working at creating the look of a wild place where adders would bask in the hot stillness; a place where we would creep up through bracken and see them, and catch our breath. For the lid, we stretched net-curtain and wire netting in a wooden frame, with foam rubber glued to the underside. This would be our zoo's tiger. It mustn't escape.
Then, on a hot May morning we set out, cycling through the suburbs and freewheeling headlong down the great chalk drop into the weald valley, aiming for the heaths of Ashdown Forest. It was 1968. We were thirteen.
And then, just yards from the road, everything went still. I was poised above an adder, which looked up at me, its tail-tip wriggling like a worm. The furious little face was oily black. White scales like tiny pearls lined the top of the mouth. Adders have faces intense with hatred; hot with it. The eyes were like blood-blisters.
What had caught my eye in the heather was the zigzag, a pattern too clear to look natural. The shadows cast by bracken leaves have similar shapes. In these shadows, the zigzag evolved, presumably, but somehow the scatter of light and shade on the forest floor became on the snake a regular wavy line. It breaks up the animal's outline. Hawks and crows see the snake from above. People do too. When the snake moves, winding through stalks and shadows, the zigzag goes in different directions, confusing the eye. On a motionless snake, it is insolently clear. In the heath's debris, the zigzag looks stylized, like a printed or ceramic pattern, a logo or uniform, a badge of power and purpose. When we thought of adders, the other creatures in our zoo seemed weak and flustered – little biscuit-coloured lizards and soft, gaping frogs. They were low status. An adder was deadly cool.
The zigzag is common to all Europe's vipers. It is one of nature's design classics. On some, such as the Nose-Horned Viper of southeast Europe, the colours seem freshly painted. Chocolate on pale grey, scarlet on pink – a touch might make them smear. The Nose-Horn comes from a land of white light and black shadows. In comparison, our adder, the Adder or Northern Viper, has muted colours. Females are the assorted browns of dry grass, old bracken, leafmould and sand. Males are light grey marked in black. Rarely, the males are white with black markings; the females ghostly pink. This viper of northern Europe lives under changing skies. Shadows cross the heath like changes of mood. Browns and purples intensify, then lighten. The adder's colours sink into the background. Then, at the sun's touch, they gleam.
'Here's one.' I kept my voice low. Adrian threw the glove, which fell short in deep heather. I didn't dare move.
'Grab the tail.'
'I'll try.'
I dropped onto a knee, and forward on to my hands. The moss was spongy. A sour smell came up. My thumb felt a thorn. Inching until my head was almost over the adder, I raised my right hand.
Something touched my left.
I looked down and gasped at the huge ginger adder uncoiling beside my hand. Her pale yellow face was an imp's face with copper eyes. The touch I had felt was her nose on my hand. She approached again, black tongue flickering.
Her eyes burned. The pupils were black and vertical. In a male adder's dark red eye, the flame is a flare in deep space, far off. His fury has distant origins. The female's lighter eye burns closer, with intimate malice.
She paused. The tongue was now fully extended, trembling, its tips thin as hairs. At the root it was pink.
A slow hiss started, as her body filled and emptied.
Her bite would be like a dentist's needle.
But her head turned away. She was gliding into the heather. My fingers grasped the disappearing tail. It felt warm. I pulled her into the open, and stood up shakily, as she twisted and bucked, hissing loudly. She was heavy. Her tail tip coiled round my finger. She threw her head at me, mouth open; I staggered and swung her away. Her underside was reddish grey. She whipcracked, wrenching her body, then the head came towards me again. I stepped back, nearly falling over. 'God!' gasped Adrian, coming up behind.
I didn't know what to do.
The face of a snake is unmoving. No affection, doubt, surprise, curiosity or fear comes into that countenance. It knows everything it will ever know. The eye, behind a hard, transparent scale, does not move or blink.
Adders look wickedly intent. Big flat eyebrow-scales frown towards the nose. The mouth has a long sad line, or an evil grin, or a glum smile as if adders hate being adders and want revenge on everything. They would cry if they could, but their eyes are too hard, in their medieval demon faces. Devils are unhappy, shut out of paradise, but do not know how to be other than devils. This yellow face knew something everyone knows.
Most snakes are ambush predators. They lurk, motionless, choosing the moment to strike. Or, rather, the strike is triggered, by eyes, ground vibrations felt in the jaw, heat-sensors and receptors of chemical traces. But it looks like choice, and the human behaviour it seems to resemble is calculating, spying, manipulative. Snakes give a glimpse of a world with no pity. Stone faces will ignore our pleas. Our vulnerabilities will be exploited, not forgiven. Snakes arouse our fear that the world is like that.
Yet these features are no more than survival adaptations or quirks. We have scales too: our nails. Close up, an adder's scales look like beautifully filed pointed fingernails, emerging from cuticles of skin.
There are two main ideas about the ancestry of snakes. Aquatic reptiles that later became terrestrial may have had the hard scale to seal their eyes underwater. Or maybe the ancestors were lizards that took to living underground, lost their legs and later returned to the surface. The scale may have shielded their eyes from grit. Vertical pupils cast a sharper image on to the retina, aiding hunting at night. The wide mouth evolved for the swallowing of prey, since the teeth are too weak to tear flesh.
We should see the adder as a sensitive creature, exquisitely alive to its environment; a vulnerable creature, frequently broken; a creature no more callous than other predators. We should. But this is like objecting to vampire films because the vampire is an unfair representation of a human being. It is a serious moral objection – and it fails to consider the appeal of such demons; the needs that they meet.
The evolutionary psychologist Roger Ulrich describes experiments in which people were repeatedly shown images of snakes, and also modern dangers such as handguns and frayed wires. Fears prompted by the modern items faded quickly. Adders have faces intense with hatred; hot with it. The eyes were like blood-blisters. Soon they produced no reaction. But the snakes caused panic every time. There is little danger from snakes in modern Europe. Bees kill many more people; cars huge numbers. But the sight of a snake inspires terror. Another evolutionary scientist, Lynne Isbell, argues that in deep prehistory our relationship with snakes played a major part in the formation of our eyesight, posture, brain-structure and behaviour, since for millions of years snakes were the main predators upon our early primate ancestors. Snakes are deep in our nerves.
They appear in human dreams more often than any other animal, says the biologist and evolutionary theorist Edward O. Wilson. In many cultures they are worshipped. Snakes are symbols for primal forces: death, life, creation, rejuvenation, fertility, eternity, infinity, temptation, treachery, sexual arousal, the phallus, the female libertine, wisdom, knowledge, order and healing. In the Christian story, a snake precipitates the defining crisis between God and the first human beings. The serpent is the ender of our simple bliss, the evil genius, the worm in the bud, the single flaw and the fatal temptation.
We are full of the memory of snakes; primed to watch for them.
And here I was with a big one in my fingers, thrashing wildly.
Adrian held out the coffee jar. I swung the snake towards him. He leaped back, dropping the jar.
'Go on. It can't bite while it's dangling.'
'You reckon?' He put on the glove, and again raised the jar. I tried to manoeuvre the snake. Her snout touched the rim. Feeling support, she began to wind her body round the jar. Adey dropped it again. She corkscrewed. I felt her body stretch. Would the muscles tear?
Her head leaped at me again. I swung her away.
And her tail went through my fingertips. She flew, in an arc, towards Adrian, who jumped back. I saw her draped on the heather. Her head moved to point down, and she was gone.
But we did get an adder that day. Phil caught it; freckly Phil, with steady eyes, bushy brown hair and large hands. I can see his face. Girls were always asking about him. But he stayed shy. In his eighteenth year he died, his motorbike ploughing into a pile of roadworks left unlit one night. A sports-car driver, the only witness, denied that he and Phil had been racing. 'Of course they were,' said Adrian.
Wild creatures are out in the open. Few live more than a few seasons. Predators swoop, ending life in an instant. An accidental wound can be a death sentence. Will we see that one again? The serpent is the ender of our simple bliss, the evil genius, the worm in the bud, the single flaw and the fatal temptation. Safe at home, we think of the animal, still out there. A snake is gripped by a hawk, or gets away. An animal goes under the wheels or escapes them. Moments ago a consciousness was there. It isn't now. The fish in another fish's mouth looks out as if from a hiding place, the fins on the cheeks gently beating. Then the big fish gulps. The toad half-swallowed in the snake's jaws has a calmly attentive expression. Its golden eye shuts and opens, re-engaging with the world.
Phil caught the adder easily. We were walking beside a high bank. He turned his head, made a quick movement, and a snake was hanging from his fingers, as if taken from a shelf. 'Got one,' he said, matter-of-fact. Then his smile got bigger and bigger.
We gathered to look at a small female, russet-brown, squashed against the side of the jar. On her sides the scales were diamond-shaped, emerging from brown skin.
The bath was in Adrian's garden. Phil had already said he couldn't keep an adder. His little brother might fiddle with the enclosure, and there were dogs that ran tumbling down the garden. Adrian's sisters were older than Phil's brother, and always kept away from his reptiles. He had no dogs. But we began to worry. Next door there was a little girl, a toddler. We imagined the adder getting through the fence.
Our unease grew. After a week, Adrian told us he had begun checking on the snake all the time. One day he phoned, panicking; he couldn't find it. We took the terrarium to pieces. Out came every log, every tussock. The adder wasn't there. Three lizards we had put in for food ran frantically about as we searched. They had seemed unworried by their room-mate, and the adder had not eaten since its capture. Feeling scared, we searched Adrian's garden, finding nothing. 'What are you looking for?' called his Mum.
'Oh, nothing.'
I went back to the bath. It had to be there. Lifting the lid, I noticed a narrow space between the planks. Wedged there was the adder, tight and drab.
'We'll have to take it back,' said Adrian. 'Unless one of you can keep it. I can't stop thinking of it getting out and biting someone.'
The snake had grown in power. It had forced us to release it. We were quiet as we cycled to the heath. Shaken from the jar, the adder rolled out in a ball. For perhaps a minute, there was no movement. The ball rolled forward. Our adder's snout appeared, and her head. Her tongue flickered. We stared silently. Unknotting herself in one long fluid movement, she veered to the left, turned back to the right and continued on into the heather. ■
