By Brian Blackwell, Message Staff Writer SHREVEPORT – Some held up colorful signs that read "Stop Abortion Now" and "Defend The Defenseless." Others just simply walked alongside their spouses, children and friends during the 1.2 mile journey from Bossier City to Shreveport. But despite their method of getting across their emotions, their message was all the same – stand up for those who have yet to be born. Nearly 7,000 people from various denominations, ages and races turned out for the second Louisiana Life March North on a mild January morning.
By John Kyle, LBC Communications Director Upon assuming the position of Executive Director on Feb. 1, 2005, David Hankins knew his new responsibilities would present challenges and opportunities – he just didn't know they would come so quickly as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated much of south Louisiana during his first year. Hankins was elected unanimously by the Louisiana Baptist Convention Executive Board to be the Executive Director of the LBC in October, 2004. He officially assumed his duties on Feb. 1, 2005.

I live in South Dakota, married to my honey since I was 19 and we have 2 teenage boys. We LOVE to eat so I'm cooking all the time.
While I ran my cafe at a sale barn, I was known for my well-seasoned, tender roast beef and homemade desserts and pies. Since quiting that, I have more time cooking for my family and friends. There is such great satisfaction watching a dish get devoured at mealtime! I also love to work in the dirt, I don't have a "veggie" garden but I do have many "flower" gardens!
I love wedding cakes with the white frosting!, gooey bars and desserts, and grilled or smoked meat off the "green egg". I'm Italian and I love bagna cauda!!

a pic would be very healpful to tell you what kind you have. it is normal for leaves to dry out and die soon replaced by new leaves. if the leaves that are yellowing and drying are new then you need a bit less sun and more water. they are heavy feeders so a little compost could help also |

Well. I have to say that it is really nice to be able to write a positive, if not positively raving, review.
But first, caveats & etceteras.
My review is based on an ARC so, as the saying goes, some things may have been changed to protect the innocent.
I also feel compelled to say a little something about the fact that Jeff has been pigeonholed as a "fantasy" author and I've said things on this blog that would tend to lead one to believe that I'm not at all that fond of fantasy. This particular novel has not tested my tastes, as it is most decidedly not a "fantasy" novel.
What kind of novel it is will be up to the individual reader (the book crosses so many lines that they've blurred - actually, they've almost disappeared - and created something entirely ungenre/allgenre at once. Words like pastiche or amalgam don't serve as they suggest a disorganized assemblage and Finch is obviously a highly-crafted work) but it may also be one of those works that we look back on and say "a-ha! here is a piece that presages the breakdown of literary divisions. It was shortly after this appeared that bookstores stopped labeling their aisles and shelves."
I've also said relatively unkind words about the concept of "literary" fiction (I've asked more than once for a real definition which has never been offered. I've explained that my view of it is fiction who's importance lays in wordplay and cleverness far more than it does in story. In many respects an activity not unlike a child demonstrating that they can ride their bicycle without using hands and showing off for their mother. Clever yes, but you shouldn't oughta do that.) Jeff has also been billed as a "literary" writer.
In this, the labelers may be correct, but only insofar as the definition of "literary" refers to someone who can craft a novel that has multiple, smoothly interplaying levels, chooses words deliberately and for effect, not simply because they haven't been seen on the printed page in a century, selects a form of presentation that is designed to enhance rather than serve as mere affectation - while retaining a story that has a recognizable beginning, middle and end, characters that have depth but aren't riddled with numerous complex and nearly indecipherable relationships. And throws in 'big ideas' that are fresh, complex and intriguing.
My only real problem with the novel is that it is presented as a stand-alone story - which it certainly is so far as the story itself goes. However, it is built upon what is obviously a fairly developed world and I felt my lack of previous experience with Ambergris on nearly every page. Though not in a negative way. I found myself thinking that the whole story, individual scenes, chapters, characters, places would probably be even more interesting, vibrant and deep if I had read the previous stories before reading this one.
I suspect that most folks who do start out on their Ambergrisian adventures with Finch (and there's absolutely no reason not to) will shortly be picking up the rest of these works.
What is Finch? At its core it is two things: a noir, Chandler style mystery (complete with private eyes that get beat up in every other scene, mysterious women who hold the keys to all of the answers, good cops, bad cops, good mobsters and bad mobsters) and a metaphor for life, the universe and everything.
It is also part mystery, part science fiction, part historical fiction, part fantasy, part horror and probably any other genre you'd care to think up.
In brief summary for those not familiar with Ambergris: a city-state (Ambergris) is engaged in civil war when the 'graycaps' appear during an event called the "rising" (the graycaps invade from underground). The graycaps are fungal creatures who bring with them fungal weapons, fungal technologies and fungy ways of doing things. A resistance is formed to fight the invaders. By the time of Finch, the resistance has been driven into the hills, the city is occupied (and its people are suffering), life has gotten uneasy as folks try to find ways to cope - some cooperating fully, some to get along, others for their own ends. Meanwhile, the graycaps are engaged in their own mysterious projects, the possible and unknown results of which make nearly everyone uneasy. (My apologies if this summary is off a bit as it is based upon what I have gleaned from Finch.)
Into this sad and decaying situation comes Finch, a reluctant police detective (appointed to the position by the graycaps as part of the human caretaker government), a man with a shady past and divided loyalties.
Finch is presented with a case by his graycap overseer. Two bodies lay in the middle of an apartment floor, one a dead man, the other half of a graycap.
For some initially obscure reason, the case is important to the graycaps, seems to be tied into their construction project (two gigantic towers that seem to be consuming nearly all graycap attention).
Investigating the deaths leads Finch on a merry rollercoaster ride through nearly all of the factions, secrets, hidden goals and mysterious relationships of the rebels, the graycaps, the 'partials', the spy networks and Finch's past.
The feel of Ambergris is deathly in all of its squamous forms - death and decay in process rather than an accomplished fact, like watchinga high speed film of maggots consuming a mouse carcass, presented in anything but high speed. During the initial two thirds of the book, the pace is slowed down enough so that you miss not a single bit of wet, squelchy, moldy, furry, stringy, cobwebs in the face detail. At one point Finch shakes hands with a man who has been 'colonized' by various graycap fungi and describes the feeling as 'meat stuffed into a bag of wet leaves', an image that has stuck with me well after completing the tale and one that is representative of the world Finch moves through and of VanderMeer's descriptive narrative throughout the novel. (Just to be clear, the pacing of the novel is excellent as it gradually speeds up towards a breathtaking conclusion.)
The book shoves your face into places and things you'd be reluctant to touch with a stick even while wearing a full environmental suit. Morbid fascination will draw you on to more and worse of the same.
The graycaps and their fungal-based society/technology is a unique presentation (though Piers Anthony dealt with some of the same concepts in Omnivore in a somewhat thematically similar manner) and a fascinating one. In reality our funeral rituals ought to include the line 'from ashes to ashes, dust to dust and fungi to fungi', as the world itself runs on and is dependent upon this normally overlooked third form of life. Fungal life is responsible for returning otherwise unusable material to the ecosystem and could be described as a life form that has specialized in death and decay. Fungus in its many different forms is the true recycler of the ecosystem.
VanderMeer has elevated the fungal form to dominance and shown us a world in which the breakdown of everything is the normal course of events. Fungas and its life stages are a wonderful meta-metaphor for the world we actually live in; everything does eventually break down, solidity occurs only in passing, connectedness and order are fleeting, temporary concepts. Change happens and we are almost powerless to prevent it. Trying to hold fast has one set of consequences. Trying to accommodate it has others - but in the end we all pretty much wind up at the same place. Colonized, consumed, broken down and absorbed into the zeitgeist.
If Finch possesses a higher message, it is that we do the things we do despite, and in spite of, our inevitable end. The things we do may have importance only to us, but they give us meaning and purpose and, in doing them, we may give meaning and purpose to others.
But you can easily ignore the hoity-toity "higher meanings" with Finch if you'd rather just enjoy a crime drama-science fiction-historical-fantasy-romance novel (yes, Jeff even manages to squeeze some romance in here), delve into one of the strangest and most unique worlds going today in genre fiction and participate in the genesis of the no-genre literary genre field.

Gear Review
I just picked up a pair of these with sensor lenses. The lenses are fantastic. We went up to Brighton on an overcast day and I put them on and it was like the equivalent of an HD flatscreen versus an tube television. Everything was clear and the terrain was easy to read. I let my wife look through them and her response was "oh my god... you f*cking suck." She is going to be buying a pair this week...
Perfect interface with my Smith Variant brim helmet. No fogging issues. Clean look. Love these goggles. I still use my Dragon Mace goggles on bright sunny days. The sensor lens is almost too intense.

South Africa to win IMO.
Everyone wants to change the world, noone wants to change himself.
Does it strike anyone else as stupid that OTT pandering to the sponsors has resulted in all three ODI venues on this tour having basically the same name? Actually, that brings me to a question I've often wanted to ask...
James, do you get sent this info through official channels? If so, do they compel you to use the sponsored names?

Yeah it is one of those cringeworthy things in sport to see the names of stadiums being changed to meet that of the sponsors. I think South Africa and the US have to be the two worst offenders in this. Will we be seeing Tests being played at Kellogs Snap Crackle 'n Pop Newlands soon? God only help us if the MCC did such a thing to Lords
Two Tests and three ODIs and a meaningless Twenty20 game. Wake me when anything interesting happens.

What Is The Cornerstone Of A Healthy Relationship?
By Lisa Kift
As a couples therapist, I have a pretty good idea of what people struggle with the most in their intimate relationships. It's not what you think. It's not about sex or finances but rather something deeper that impacts everything.
Emotional Safety
What is "emotional safety" in a healthy relationship? I see this as the degree of security and comfort both people feel with each other. It's an integral part of a solid relationship foundation. In my definition, there are eight aspects in which to assess the emotional safety in a relationship. They are respect, trust, feeling prioritized, feeling heard, understanding, validation, empathy and love. If you do well in all of these areas, good for you! But if you're like many, there are areas of vulnerablity that can benefit from some attention.
You can assess the level of emotional safety in your relationship
You and your partner take out a piece of paper and rate, from zero to ten, (zero being "never" and ten being "all the time") how much you feel each of the following eight aspects/descriptions of emotional safety from each other. Chart it out with each person's name written on the top of the paper with a column under each. Then on the left side list the eight aspects with rows next to them.
1. Respect: How much do you feel respected by your partner? People who report low levels of respect often experience criticism or judgment from the other.
2. Trust: How much do you trust your partner? Many issues can spring out of a basic lack of trust like insecurity or doubt.
3. Feeling Prioritized: How high do you feel on your partner's list of priorities? Feeling low on the priority scale can lead to a build-up of resentment which can be toxic.
4. Feeling Heard: How well does your partner listen to you? Those who don't feel heard complain of being ignored, tuned out or talked over by the other.
5. Understood: How much do you feel understood by each other? People with low levels of understanding from the other report frustration around their partner "not getting" them or twisting their words into a different meaning.
6. Validation: How much do you feel validated by each other? Low levels of validation are problematic to any relationship in that one or both feels the other is rejecting their feelings which can increase resentment.

lets discuss and share our thoughts on all the action taking place during the Test Match series. .
India won the toss and elected to filed 1st in the 1st Test Match at Lords.
Yuvi and Sree misses out as Mukund is in as opener with Gambhir and Praveen keeps his place in the playing 11.
Challenger Zaheer Khan has the new ball and the match has began… enjoy the live action..
Zaheer Khan got the 1st break through for India trapping Cook lbw for 12.
Sad to see played called of due to rains and bad light hope the remaining days experiences full day cricket without any interruption.
India lost the match badly. I am sure they will come back strong from here.
In 2nd test India should comeback strongly.
In 1st test it was unfortunate for india players got injured and sick. I wish they are fit now and can beat england. they should get yuvi and amit mishra back.
watch 2nd test live on http://www.ipltime.com
test series gone to dogs..now v to concentrate on t20 n odi
i guess v ll do well in rest…
hopefully they dont carry negative enery
well i guess England played well. But mind you again they are best on their home turf. If they come to India the situation is vice-verse.
I think India is unlucky in this series most of their player got injured or out of form.
For 4th test there is no harm if Team India tries players who are seating on the bench at least they can make a good squad out of it for ODI.
Team India should forget this as wining and losing is part of life.
watch 4th test live on http://www.ipltime.com
Best luck Team India.
Sachin http://www.ipltime.com
sure sachin will play in 4th test
wall stands tall
sad to lose 4-0…

H.R. 6063, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2008, was enacted into
law on October 15, 2008. Included in the act is the following request to the NASA Administrator to initiate a
National Academies study:1
The [NASA] Administrator, in consultation with other agencies with space science programs, shall enter into an ar -
rangement with the National Academies to assess impediments, including cost growth, to the successful conduct of
interagency cooperation on space science missions, to provide lessons learned and best practices, and to recommend
steps to help facilitate successful interagency collaborations on space science missions.
As part of the same arrangement with the National Academies, the Administrator, in consultation with NOAA [the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] and other agencies with civil Earth observation systems, shall
have the National Academies assess impediments, including cost growth, to the successful conduct of interagency
cooperation on Earth science missions, to provide lessons learned and best practices, and to recommend steps to help
facilitate successful interagency collaborations on Earth science missions.
In mid-2009, NASA arranged with the National Academies to conduct the study described in this language.
The committee's statement of task is reproduced as Appendix A. Specifically, the study should:
• Examine the rationale for interagency cooperation in Earth science and space science missions, including
variations in motivation for interagency cooperation among agencies.
• Survey Earth science and space science missions, either in operation or under formulation or development,
which involve a significant partnership in either mission execution or instrument development by NASA with one
or more other federal agencies. . . .
• From these case studies, identify lessons learned and best practices. Areas include:
—Acquisition strategies;
—Program management and structure, including partnership models; and
—Interagency issues related to the "research to operations transition."

act is available at http://legislative.nasa.gov/PL%20110-422.pdf.
OCR for page R1
viii PREFACE
Following approval by the National Research Council, the Space Studies Board appointed members to the
Committee on Assessment of Impediments to Interagency Cooperation on Space and Earth Science Missions, which
was tasked to carry out the study. Biographies of the committee members are given in Appendix F. Collectively,
the committee was able to draw on significant personal experience involving senior agency leadership at NASA,
NOAA, and the National Science Foundation; senior leadership at NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE)
laboratories; space and Earth science mission scientific leadership, project management, and systems engineering;
space program systems and cost analyses; aerospace industry program and project management; interagency and
international program planning and execution; and research on complex organizations.
The committee met twice during the course of the study (Appendix E shows the agendas for these meetings).
In addition, members of the committee met in informal splinter groups, and the committee also convened via
teleconference on multiple occasions. Information in the report was current as of early 2010; however, the report
was largely completed prior to the announcement on February 1, 2010, of the termination of the National Polar-

These pics were from this past weekend. It's almost time to put the garden to bed.
One thing I just can't get over is the Sweet Autumn Clematis thinking it's summer or something. We've had all kinds of frosts already and it is still so nice and green.
Follow-Up Postings:
It does look like fall. Your SAC looks much greener than mine. I still think is looks very good; this is my favorite time of year. What will you do to prepare the beds for winter? I just let mine be, even leaving most tops in place until spring. glenda |
it still looks good. i like your use of rocks, too. |

An example of good planning, your garden shows interest even at the end of the season. Bet it looks nice with snow,too. |
Glenda, I don't usually do too much to ready the garden for winter. I leave much of the cutting back until spring. I will cut back the peonies and the asters though and clean up the daylilies. Other than that it's usually just a matter of gathering up the ornaments (of which I don't have many becuase I spend so much on plants!) and getting hoses and sprinklers put away. Dahli22, we were fortunate that many large rocks were buried in the yard from when the road was blasted. When we built our house we had the guy doing the excavating put all the rocks he dug up in one corner of the yard. A few years later we hired someone who put them to good use. Schoolhouse, Thanks. I have tried to plan the garden for interest in all seasons. I do quite a bit of shopping in the fall when I can see what is most interesting then. There is so much great color in the foliage of so many plants in the fall. We limbed up an oak tree this year and the climbing hydrangea on it took on a great color. It was a nice, unexpected treat. Now if it would ever bloom.... |

Timothy Carter, assistant professor of biology, is devoting his professional career to studying Indiana bats' activity patterns, preferred habitats, and roosting habits. The endangered Indiana bat has experienced a steady decline in population for no known reason, and Carter is on a mission to determine the causes behind this decline.
Named for the state where they were discovered, Indiana bats actually make their habitat from Iowa and Vermont in the north to Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina in the south. Carter has been researching Indiana bats for more than 10 years, primarily in Illinois.
Timothy Carter
Funding for Carter's research has come primarily from two federal sources. The Army Corps of Engineers has supported Carter's research to help determine whether military testing disrupts the lives of the Indiana bats inhabiting trees on its property. Carter discovered that the military training activities do not seem to disturb the bats. The bats naturally stay away from humans—and the areas where the training takes place, which is good news for the Army and the bats.

Bruce Springsteen may be the Boss, but on his latest project he was just a hired hand. He wrote the closing song for director John Sayles' ''Limbo,'' which will premiere at the Cannes film festival on Saturday. You can just imagine Sayles' instruction to his buddy, Bruce: ''Uh, can you write me a song that'll calm the audience down and have them leave the theater not hating my guts for not giving them an ending?''
Sayles chuckles at that scenario. ''No, we didn't get that specific about it,'' he tells EW Online. ''Mostly I told him that because of the ending of the movie, the lyrics couldn't indicate something too happy or too sad, because we want to leave the audience in this kind of tantalizing ambiguity -- so they had to be in some ways neutral, but very emotional.''
Neutral but emotional... sounds like every songwriter's dream assignment, all right. But Springsteen's falsetto-powered song manages to summarize the romantic drama, which has David Strathairn and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio tentatively falling for each other in urban Alaska, only to find their lives -- and love -- in danger on a remote wilderness island.
''There is something slightly strange about the song, a little bit eerie, a little otherworldly,'' says Sayles, admiringly. ''One of the nice things about the lyrics is that it's a song about risk and commitment, and that's really two of the main things the movie is about. Specifically, the idea of 'If you do this for me, I'm going to commit myself to you... Lift me up, and I'll fall with you.' And a fall can be scary, you know.''
Springsteen and Sayles have a long history together. ''Limbo'' is only the veteran indie filmmaker's second studio movie; the first was 1983's ''Baby, It's You,'' which also marked the first time he used Bruce's music. Up to that point, the rocker had turned down all requests to have his songs appropriated for the movies -- ''he controls his own music, which is unusual,'' Sayles notes -- but Springsteen respected the director enough to approve the use of ''Adam Raised a Cain'' and several other existing tracks. He then hired Sayles to shoot his ''Glory Days,'' ''I'm on Fire,'' and ''Born in the U.S.A.'' videos.
Of course there's other music in ''Limbo,'' including songs by Richard Thompson and Tom Waits, which are sung by Mastrantonio (''Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves''), who plays a lounge singer. ''I had not actually heard her sing when I decided this would be a good part for her,'' Sayles admits. But his hunch paid off when he was ''thrilled'' with the actress' singing voice, and he even opted to have her sing live on camera rather than lip-synch. ''There's a lot of stuff in the script about how emotional singing is for her, and I wanted her to be able to really play the moment.''

Cookies: Are they unsecure?
I read at php-freaks that cookies arn't enabled on a lot of browsers because they store user information. I use cookies on my site and want to know if this will make it so users on these browsers can't login at all, or just so they can't use the "stay logged in" function where their login information is stored? and do cookies act exactly like sessions if the user dose not decide to use the stay logged in function?

I would be interested to see any stats on how many users have cookies enabled/disabled (could not find any at a quick glance) but SecuritySpace.com reckon that 18% of sites utilise them , & many sites (wrongly IMO) rely on cookies for shopping carts etc to the extent that the site will not work without them.
All major browsers come with cookies enabled by default though some will disable them, but mostly not I suspect ... as Tail suggests if your site needs them , let the user know!
To check if your site works without cookies simply disable them in your browser preferences and see what happens !

Christina Aguilera Is A Pearl Of A Girl In A New 'Burlesque' Photo Still
pretty photos like this one set to a bombastic, roaring soundtrack featuring Christina's flawless vocals, it would probably be better off.

Lisbon, Portugal's capital, is a ramshackle but charming mix of now and then. Vintage trolleys shiver up and down its hills, bird-stained statues mark grand squares, taxis rattle and screech through cobbled lanes, and well-worn people sip coffee in Art Nouveau cafés.

PANAJI: The Law Commission of Goa has recommended that the powers of the directors of municipal administration and panchayats to prepare electoral rolls, delimit wards and ward reservation should be vested in the state election commission.
The recommendation has been made in the report on electoral reforms in relation to submitted by the law commission chairman Ramakant Khalap to the chief minister Digambar Kamat on Friday.
The report provides for the empowerment of the state election commission to prepare electoral rolls, delimit wards of panchayats and municipalities and reserve wards for women, OBCs, STs and SCs.
This power is presently vested with director of panchayats and director of municipal administration.
The law commission has taken cognizance of allegations of misuse of power while undertaking the work of delimitation of wards and reservation of wards, Khalap said.
The commission is of the view that there should be no scope hatsoever for government intervention directly or indirectly in the election process and recommended that the powers be vested in the state election commission.

text: 5 Five StarsPosted: 01/12/2008I have now had this since late October, had have left time for it to settle in, before reviewing.At a glance:Performance: X X X X XSet Up: X X X X XNoise: X X XValue for Money: X X X X XPERFORMANCE: My computer is on 24/7 and is always busy, (Sony Vaio FE11H 15.4 widescreen) Its own cooling is good but it still get hot at the bottom left and right of the machine with the vent hot to touch. The cooler has improved the vents temperature by a great deal what was very hot to touch is now just a warm breeze. Bottom left and right of the machine are stone cold. I have even turned the cooler off for an hour to see how good it was and sure enough after 30 min it was hot again, turned the cooler back on and in 30 min the Laptop was cool again. The fact is the air flow system works, and well it distributes a good flow of air to the entire base of the machine keeping it cool. Even if your Laptop like mine only has a few ventilation slots on the bottom you will still benefit as the air flow system ensures the whole base is cooled and that cool air will be draw into your Laptop. I have only run it on Low and Medium because on high it's noisy and at the moment unnecessary, come summer when we have a week of hot weather then it will be really tested. I have not tried moving around with it but provided you keep hold of everything It's not going to be too difficult to handle as its light, the coolers fan draws the air in from the back so don't worry about blocking it.SET UP: Very easy as long as you know what a USB port is you will be fine. Plug in the supplied USB cable to the Cooler (USB mini Port) and then secure the cable underneath it. Sit your Laptop on it do not worry about aligning the feet as it says in the instructions as long as your laptops feet are rubber and in good order it won't go anywhere (as long is its not tilted past the angle of the cooler). NOTE 15.4 widescreen over hangs by ½ cm at the front NOT back, but the base of the machine sits on fully (most likely just the design of my Laptop) Plug the USB cable into your Laptop and turn it in (Big button just above the inlet) it has a USB port so you can still use the port you just used as all it needs is the power from the port. Once turned on adjust settings to your preference.NOISE:Low: It's very quite a low toned hum a bit like an idle HDD (a quite one)Medium: Still a low toned hum but with more a flow noise, think CD/DVD drive burning at about 12X or your Laptops fan at a similar setting (Think fan noise but tolerable)High: At this point you can usually feel a breeze yourself (You're not going mad) Sounds like a CD/DVD drive after you have just put a disc in.I Have it on medium and can sleep with it on that.VALUE: Excellent considering you would pay this much or more for one that has a single or two fans just sat in the middle or on either end. This only has one fan but the entire base is hollow allowing the cool air to free flow around the whole base. Plastic base with aluminium mesh (Strong enough for laptop)

Flash forward two years and There's No Leaving Now, Matsson's third LP as The Tallest Man On Earth and arguably his breakout record. The album features the singles "1904″ and "Wind And Walls" and peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Matsson says that he wanted this record to have a sound that wasn't super minimalistic, but didn't sound like a rock band either. He also performed at the 2012 Newport Folk Festival to supportThere's No Leaving Now.
Matsson's folk sound and lyrical content often is compared to that of Bob Dylan, so if you are a fan of Dylan, Nick Drake or Woody Guthrie, you'll definitely enjoy The Tallest Man On Earth. Do yourself a favor and give There's No Leaving Now a chance if you haven't already and keep listening to WERS to hear music from The Tallest Man On Earth!

It Ended Badly for the Bunny
These are the tracks of the final two hops that poor rabbit ever made. The line of tracks across the snow ends abruptly with that last rather messed up set of paw prints. The only reasonable explanation is that a bird of prey snatched the rabbit clean off the snow, up, up, and away. The most likely bird in this part of the country that can carry off a rabbit is a red tail hawk. For a wider angle view, with more prints in the row, see here: http://smu.gs/1yZP8ET

If you're into such things, look at this in the original size to enjoy all the tiny sparkles in the snow, many of them in rainbow colors. Winter can be wonderful, truly. Especially when there is snow on the ground and the sun is out.
