Freedom of Xpression Open Mic is on Monday, January 5, 2015
Do you like to spot emerging artists before they hit the big leagues? Then come join us for an Open Mic session on the first Monday of each month at the Capri Theater. PCYC's open mic sessions are aptly named Freedom of Xpression a.k.a. FoX to encourage the performance of all genres from jazz to beatboxing to dance.
The next FoX is on Monday, January 5, 2015. Please contact Crystal Ruiz at email@example.com or 612-643-2045 for information or just show up.
Freedom of Xpression Open Mic was featured by TC Daily Planet, an online publication. Click here http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/79534 to read the published article. It is also featured below:
Capri Theater's Open Mic offers a lab for performance talent in North Minneapolis
The young woman sauntered onto the stage, cracked a half smile then pulled the mike almost to her lips. The lights dimmed, music piped in and the spotlight turned onto her. The smoky voice that emerged from this girl was surprising as was the melody. Here on the Capri Theater stage in North Minneapolis, an African American girl was singing a jazz song popularized by Billie Holiday, an American cultural icon of the 1940'-s. The audience of about 50 young students, teens and middle aged folks hooted and howled encouragement when this aspiring singer ended her rendition. She glowed with a big smile, waved, and bounded off into the wings.
This performance is typical of the monthly Open Mic sessions at the Capri Theater (www.thecapritheater.org). Held on the first Monday evening, Freedom of Xpression (FOX) provides a free platform for emerging and amateur artists to test and hone their art form. Anyone who wishes an audience for her creative expressions has five minutes to unleash that talent at Capri's FOX Open Mic. Poets, rappers, dancers, singers, musicians have come on stage to get a no-risk and free opportunity to share their craft with a diverse audience. Any art form is allowed and the range of expressions is wide. Immediately following a hip-hop poet, a Hmong student played the queej (traditional pan flute) and danced to rousing audience approval at a recent FOX Open Mic.
Poet Crystal "Azteca" Ruiz has hosted the Capri's FOX Open Mic since late 2009. This emcee role is a natural outgrowth from Ruiz's regular job as a student advisor at the alternative high school run by Plymouth Christian Youth Center (PCYC). Hosting the monthly FOX Open Mic also allows Ruiz to publicly share her creative impulses. Soft-spoken yet firm, Ruiz is passionate about giving young people a chance to develop their talents and test their alter egos on stage. Ruiz encourages the high school students at PCYC to perform at FOX Open Mic. She especially reaches out to female students. Many high schoolers have taken up Ruiz's offer; some for the first time, but many reprising or honing their earlier FOX Open Mic performances.
Since its inception more than five years ago, FOX Open Mic has drawn performers mainly from neighborhoods that surround the Capri Theater. Many North Minneapolis performance groups have tested and refined their material here. One such group is the "Why So Serious" hip-hop collective of North Minneapolis. Collective member, Marquis "Eddiecane" Harris, said performing more than a dozen times at Capri's FOX Open Mic gave them the exposure they needed. "Why So Serious" has produced several albums since 2010.
In this way, Capri Theater's FOX Open Mic is an incubator for performance talent. This harkens back to the early 1970'-s when a young performer later known as Prince first performed a concert on the same stage. Today, FOX Open Mic performers sign up for slots half an hour ahead of the monthly 6 to 8 p.m. event. Slots are allotted on a first come, first served basis for any art form. The only restriction is obscene language. If it is used at all, the Capri Theater's technical staff cuts off the microphone. Host Ruiz reminds performers of this rule when they sign up for their five-minute slot.
Each Capri Theater FOX Open Mic also features 15-minute performances from artists whose art forms are more developed or well-known locally and regionally. Featured artists have included B Girl Be co-founder Desdamona and R&B singer/songwriter Gabrielle Samone. Host Crystal Ruiz points out that featured artists give novice performers a sense of the arc of artistic development and helps to inspire the emerging performers to keep perfecting their art forms.
Ruiz is excited that the October 7 FOX Open Mic will feature PCYC High School senior Daniel Reyes, who grew up in New York. Reyes will be singing several tunes he wrote while battling homelessness. Despite his living circumstances, Reyes is optimistic about his future. This emerging performance artist wants a career as a chiropractor to supplement his passionate pursuits of music and fashion in his free time. To that end, Reyes is focusing on his high school studies while writing songs dedicated to his girlfriend Nicole and trying hard to secure safe and secure shelter. Reyes' story is one of many inspirational ones that you'll experience frequently at Open Mic and PYC.

After revival by Narcan, some left severely disabled
Bruce Bonauto, right, a home health aide, and Gail Morris help her son Alex, whom she has cared for since he overdosed on heroin in 2001 and very nearly died, at their home in Sparta, N.J. (THE NEW YORK TIMES)
By Katharine Q. Seelye THE NEW YORK TIMES
Add a comment
SPARTA, N.J. — When Gail Morris came home late one night after taking her daughter to college, she saw her teenage son, Alex, asleep on the sofa in the family room. Nothing seemed amiss. An unfinished glass of apple juice sat on the table. She tucked him in under a blanket and went to bed.
The next morning, he would not wake up. He was stiff and was hardly breathing. Over the next several hours, Morris was shocked to learn that her son had overdosed on heroin. She was told he would not survive.
He did survive, but barely. He was in a coma for six weeks. He went blind and had no function in his arms or legs. He could not speak or swallow. Hospitalized for 14 months, Alex, who is 6-foot-1, dropped to 90 pounds. One of his doctors said that Alex had come as close to dying as anyone he knew who had not actually died.
Most people who overdose on heroin either die or fully recover. But Alex plunged into a state that was neither dead nor functional.
There are no national statistics on how often opioid overdose leads to cases like Alex's, but doctors say they worry that with the dramatic increase in heroin abuse and overdoses, they will see more such outcomes.
"I would expect that we will," said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "They are starting to report isolated cases like this. And I would not be surprised if you have more intermediate cases with more subtle impairment."
More than 660,000 Americans used heroin in 2012, the federal government says, double the number of five years earlier. Officials attribute much of the increase to a crackdown on prescription painkillers, prompting many users to turn to heroin, which is cheaper and easier to get than other opioids.
Heroin deaths across the country have soared: from 2011 to 2012, they rose 200 percent in Louisiana, 60 percent in Ohio and 300 percent in Maine. On Long Island, east of New York City, more than 220 people died from heroin in 2012 and 2013, the most ever.
"Everyone focuses on death because it's so dramatic," Volkow said. "And so attention hasn't been paid to the follow-up consequences that may emerge when someone actually survives."
Alex overdosed in 2001, when he was just 17. Today, after 13 difficult years, he has regained some cognition, but still cannot get out of bed, bathe or dress without help. His mother, who is divorced, has become his full-time caretaker. And her life — she was an executive for Citibank and traveled the world — has become circumscribed by his needs.
Still, one of the doctors who treated Alex early said he was lucky.
"The ones who survive that I have taken care of — many are in a minimally conscious state or a vegetative state," said Dr. Caroline O. McCagg, who is associate medical director of rehabilitation medicine at the JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, and oversees patients with brain trauma. "Some get better, but cognitively they are so impaired that their communication is limited and their ability to live in the community is unlikely."
She calls their condition "a living death."
"They don't always come back all the way," she said. "I've had patients for 10 or 15 years who are just in limbo. But the family can't let them go. Death would be kind, in some instances."
Alex has made more progress than anyone predicted. While he still cannot stand on his own and must use a wheelchair, he no longer requires a specialized chair with restraints. His left hand works. He has regained some vision. He can swallow and even speak; in fact his cognitive functioning is fairly high, considering what he has been through, and he communicates well enough to reveal a quick intelligence and flashes of humor.
But the promise of his young life — he excelled at math and loved to play guitar — appears dashed. He once dreamed of playing in a band; he now dreams of being able to walk.
Alex had learned his multiplication tables when he was three and scored 700 on his math SATs. Today he can hardly add, though he occasionally recalls his calculus and watches television programs on topics like string theory.
"His brain is Swiss cheese," his mother said. "It is full of holes."
One of those holes is the time immediately before he overdosed, in April 2001, at his home here.
Alex has no recollection of it. His mother said she thought this must have been his first time. He had an after-school job that required him to take a drug test, and only three months before the overdose, his drug test had been clean.
But after his overdose, the police found heroin packs hidden under a false bottom in his bedroom dresser, along with packets of marijuana and pills. They found no needles, leading police to surmise he had snorted the powder.
Morris and Alex no longer ask why he turned to drugs. She offers theories that he cannot corroborate: He was an introvert and had been bullied at school; he was moody and wanted to ease the pain; he thought heroin would expand his music appreciation.
In the emergency room, he received two rounds of an antidote, probably naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. It is now being widely distributed to emergency medical workers and even family members and has saved thousands of lives. In Alex's case, he received it too late and it did not work.
He ended up in the same intensive care unit at the local community hospital as Karen Ann Quinlan, the young woman at the center of one of the nation's first major right-to-die debates in the mid-1970s.
Quinlan had fallen into a coma after a night of drugs and alcohol. After a year in which her doctors said she suffered from irreversible brain damage and was in a "persistent vegetative state," she was taken off her respirator. She lived for nine years before dying of natural causes.
Julia Quinlan, Karen Ann's mother, heard about Alex's overdose and called Morris.
"She was very helpful," Morris recalled.
Quinlan helped her think about her options and what might lie ahead. But mostly, Morris sat by her comatose son in the hospital, willing him to live by softly chanting what she calls the parent's prayer: "Take from me and give to him."
After emerging from his coma, Alex was transferred to the acute brain trauma unit at JFK Medical Center, where he stayed for three months, and then he spent 10 months in the medical center's extended brain trauma unit.
At the age when Alex had been expected to follow his sister into an Ivy League college, he instead could do little but breathe. Instead of becoming independent, he became completely dependent.
He is now 30 and his mother is 66. They are an inseparable pair, their lives intertwined in every way. She tends to the minutiae of his every waking moment.
Their symbiosis is reflected in their pas de deux when Morris helps Alex transfer from bed to wheelchair, from wheelchair to toilet, from wheelchair to sitting chair.
Her legs straddle his while she pulls him up and he grasps her arms. She is careful to position herself so that if his legs go into a spasm, they will not clutch her in a vise.
When she has him up, they stand for a moment as if in an embrace before she turns him to another chair.
And they seem to have a kind of mind meld. Morris was saying that introverts like her son often felt in high school like they were being "policed." But as she spoke, she knew that "policed" was not quite the word she wanted, and Alex, who was listening intently, sensed it too.
"Monitored?" he offered. That was the word she was looking for.
"Brain-injured people can't always find the right word," she said. "But sometimes, I feel like we've flipped, and Alex fills in the blanks for me."
He is also funny. At one point, Morris said she had despaired of researchers who like to note that more people die from smoking cigarettes than from using heroin. This prompted Alex to laugh and paraphrase the comedian George Burns, who constantly smoked a cigar: "My doctors who told me that smoking would kill me are all dead now."
In between exercises, therapies and trips to the doctor, Morris and Alex find time for a few activities that do not relate to his condition.
They traveled recently to Baltimore to see an exhibit on Archimedes, the Greek mathematician. They attend classes together at the Apple Store. They also go to a local Toastmasters club, where people learn public speaking and are critiqued by other members; Morris said it was "good therapy" for Alex "to see Mom get critiqued for a change."
In recent months, they developed a cooking project called "Helping Hands Chefs" to help people like Alex with hand-dexterity issues. Over the years, Morris has perfected many techniques, from putting peas in mashed potatoes so that they do not roll off a fork, to grinding cinnamon sugar onto bananas, making the pieces less slippery so Alex can pick them up.
Now, she is sharing those techniques through a blog, videos, a cookbook and by giving cooking lessons to others who take care of people who have difficulty feeding themselves.
Morris hopes the project will provide some financial security for Alex's future, which is constantly on her mind. He receives disability income now through his father's retirement.
Morris is healthy and strong but knows she will not live forever. Her immediate goal is for her son to be able to move from chair to chair by himself, and someday to walk with a cane.
"I hope that I hold out long enough that we can get him to be independent, and he's trying as hard as he can," she said. If he does not learn to walk, she said, he could end up in a nursing home. She is still searching for a way that he might become self-supporting.
Asked how he envisioned his future, Alex said quietly, "I don't have an answer for that."
People often think of taking heroin as like Russian roulette, Morris said, because you never know what you are going to get. But to her mind, taking heroin is more like being a suicide bomber.
"Not only are you affecting your own life, but the shrapnel that is produced goes to the people you love the most," she said.
"When you're thinking of getting high, you really should be thinking that you're taking a hot coal and putting it in your loved one's body," she said. "If you die, that pain will be with your loved one forever. But these other outcomes can also be incredibly painful and arduous for whoever has to deal with it."

Nice Ride running smoothly: More than 600 rides taken; more bikes coming next week
BEMIDJI -- It's been mostly a smooth ride for the Nice Ride Bemidji bicycle share program since its kick-off on June 22.
The bright orange bikes have been out and about for the past seven weeks. With rental locations stationed at the tourist information center by Paul and Babe, the Hampton Inn and Suites, and at the Outdoor Program Center by BSU, it's not hard to find a bike.

My suggestion would be, try doing without and you will like the new method better once you get used to it.
It's just as quick to press the Windows Key on your keyboard, type half of what you want to load and press enter.
I dunno, I was the same way at first, but once I got down the concept, I realized it works much better.. plus you can still pin apps to the taskbar if you want.

Cutting propagation
Every once in a plant stems break off and I consider sticking it into a pot and see if it will grow into a new plant, the results have not been encouraging.
Hardy Mum - first plant I tried, I stuck the plant in the soil with no rooting compound. It was sickly for several month but is now a health plant.
Sedium - coated with some rooting powder and planted, Growing into another plant. I am not surprise, sedium are nearly immortal.
poinsettia - coated with some rooting powder and planted. Now dead.
Toad Lily - coated with some rooting powder and planted. Now dead.
helenium autumnale - coated with some rooting powder and planted. Probably will be dead soon.
Royal Catchfly - coated with some rooting powder and planted. Now dead.
Cardinal flower - coated with some rooting powder and planted. Unknown since I just did it today.
Any suggestion on improving the odds, I tried the keep the pot moist and have starter fertilizer, but most of time they don't make it.
I've found that rooting liquids work better for me than the powders. I currently use Dip 'N Grow. I also remove all but the top couple leaves on a cutting before potting it up.
It's generally best to use a sterile medium for cuttings too, rather than soil. Some people use vermiculite, but I usually go with Pro-Mix. I also cover the pot with a plastic bag to hold in humidity, using straws to help hold the plastic away from the leaves. I've found that you don't want to seal the bag too tightly though, or the cuttings will just rot. So I often just zip it halfway closed.
For cacti or other succulents, you won't need a bag. Though you will usually need to let the cutting dry out for a day or two--to form a callus--before potting it up. And, for plants that prefer dry conditions--such as pelargoniums--you should probably leave the bag unzipped.
I probably have as many failures as successes too. But I've found that cuttings which are semi-woody often root better than "soft" cuttings. Hope this helps!
I save my chopsticks and use them to make a tent over cuttings with zip lock baggies.
coated with some rooting powder
===>>> first off.. have you ever read the instructions... most indicate to DUST the piece ... and blow off all excess ... there can be a whole world of difference between a dusting and a coating ...
second .... TIMING is one of the more precise things associated with rooting material .... some plants require new fresh growth.. others older material .. and this would be the prime consideration of when your odds will increase ... it is not really a function of when you break a piece off.. rather than the right piece.. in the right season ...
then once you get past TIMING .... you have to master all these things:
etc, ad nauseum
as noted.. humidity on a plant with no roots is probably the most important.. since it will have to adsorb all the water it can get while it starts growing roots to do the job ..
all that said.. i am excited by your enthusiasm .. and propagation is a very good way to increase the bounty of your garden ... but it goes way beyond breaking off some pieces and stabbing wildly at success... been there done that.. and suffered the odds you have ... lol ..
below is a picture of a little .. CHEAP.. setup for rooting things ... i sterilized everything with bleach or heat [including the media as soil holds too many negatives] .. in the proper season for conifers in this case .. made the proper cut.. dusted with rooting hormone.. and placed them on a heat mat under lights for 3 months ... 25% success rate ... in your case.. just put the tent in a bright but fully shaded area .. and see what happens ...

"After complete discussion with our veterinarian, the State Veterinarian, and counsel of veterinarians in surrounding states, we feel that in the best interest of the horse industry, and as a precautionary health measure, Billings Livestock would take the lead and postpone our horse sale events."
Related quotes
"I do think, though, the chances of that happening are remote because we have the state veterinarian, who is keeping an eye out ... horsemen who are more vigilant, and we've got these precautions in place."
"The state veterinarian made a note of it and put him on the injured list. It was just a mild little thing and not a problem at all. It won't cost him any time."
"The best doctor in the world is a veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter -- he's got to just know."
"How would you like it if your veterinarian called and left the following message on your answer machine -- 'Sir, do you remember your dog, Poopsy, I hope you have a picture of her, she's dead,'"
"It's a tragic accident. Unfortunately, it's the kind of thing that every researcher, every veterinarian faces with these types of animals whenever you sedate them."
"I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up, because I really, really like helping animals and being with animals, ... I've just liked that for a long time."

Players are requested to arrive 10 minutes before play is due to start please so the Director can finalise the movement and make a prompt start.
Welcome to the West Sussex Bridge Club web site. The Club meets for duplicate pairs each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoons (see Calendar). There is also a Basic Bridge (Level 2) session on Thursday evenings. Many Sussex and EBU events (e.g. simultaneous pairs) are also held here. The Club is situated in Cuckfield, near Haywards Heath in Mid Sussex (see "How to find us" in the "Information" section). The clubhouse is in the grounds of Warden Park Academy.
Whilst many who play in the club are very good players and the overall standard is quite high, the main objective is that everyone should enjoy playing bridge at West Sussex and that the atmosphere remains friendly throughout all sessions.
not making it compulsory, the Committee would like to encourage all
partnerships to have an agreed convention card. You can use your own layout, fill
in one of the blank formats to be found on the EBU website or use the simple
form on the front page of the score card. The EBU website has some suggested
convention cards for basic systems. Having a written partnership agreement
obviously helps consistency in bidding and playing and also improving your
Thursday evening session is primarily intended for less experienced
players and only Level 2 systems may be used. Full details of which
conventions are not accepted can be viewed in the menu item called Thursday Evening Guidelines.
Please note that the Club will be closed on Easter Monday (6th April).
The trial of playing Teams on the first Monday of the month for the last 6 months has ended and the club will revert to normal pairs scoring for all sessions whilst the committee considers other options.
Players without partners (whether or not they are a member) can now turn up on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursday evenings and be guaranteed a game. Everyone is welcome to make use of this facility but please arrive at the club by 7.15pm.
Thursday afternoons start at 1.30 pm. Table money is now £1.50 for members and £2.50 for visitors.
Many congratulations to Liz Hoskins and Nigel Urban who won this event.
Also to Chris Jepson and Neil Watts who were joint runners up with Liz Wright and her partner.

Stir up risotto from Brio
On a recent visit to Brio at Crabtree, I ordered shrimp and scallop risotto. The dish was superb, and the sauce a mix of enticing flavors. Could you obtain the recipe? -- E.W., Raleigh

Ex-Texans coach Gary Kubiak: Peyton Manning 'can do anything he wants'
INDIANAPOLIS – New Denver coach Gary Kubiak said he's excited to work with veteran quarterback Peyton Manning and that they'll run "the Broncos offense." Speaking at the scouting combine Wednesday, Kubiak said he's talked at length with Manning, and even though the quarterback hasn't announced officially that he's returning, everyone expects him to. Kubiak was […] [Read More]
Texans rookie QB Tom Savage plays hero in win over Broncos
Scoreboard DENVER – Rookie Tom Savage, trying to surge past Case Keenum and claim the Texans' backup quarterback job, took a major step in that direction by rifling a 31-yard touchdown pass to second-year tight end Ryan Griffin with 59 seconds left Saturday night, then found fellow rookie Travis Labhart for the two-point conversation as […] [Read More]

Biggest improvement for Bengals' Dalton would be a win
The Bengals' Andy Dalton thinks he's a better quarterback than he was a year ago, and his statistics and the comments of his coaches and teammates support that.

THE event of Awards Season took place under rainy skies in Los Angeles last night. So naturally we have to join in the national pastime of naming our Best and Worst dressed from the Oscars. We had a hard time this year because overall, the A-listers looked great. No one really stood out as the clear cut winner, and conversely, everyone seemed to avoid total fashion disaster. But we're not afraid to make the tough choices, so here are our haute hits and hot messes from the red carpet.
Winners: Jennifer Aniston, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Margot Robbie and Reese Witherspoon.
Honorable Mentions: Naomi Watts, Cate Blanchett and Dakota Johnson.
Missed Marks: Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain, Keira Knightley, Chloë Grace Moretz and Lady Gaga.

CNN Poll: Only 25% Support Obamacare
A new low.
5:59 PM, Feb 24, 2010 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
A new CNN poll shows that only 25% of American voters want Congress to "pass a health care bill similar to the legislation that Congress has been working on for the past year." That number is down five points from January.
Forty-eight percent of voters want to start over on an "entirely new" bill, and 25% want Congress to stop working on health care altogether.

Smart Scan Chart Analysis confirms that a strong uptrend is in place and that the market remains positive longer term. Strong Uptrend with money management stops. A triangle indicates the presence of a very strong trend that is being driven by strong forces and insiders.
Based on a pre-defined weighted trend formula for chart analysis, PPHM scored +100 on a scale from -100 (strong downtrend) to +100 (strong uptrend):
+10 Last Hour Close Above 5 Hour Moving Average
+15 New 3 Day High on Friday
+20 Last Price Above 20 Day Moving Average
+25 New 3 Week High, November 26th
+30 New 3 Month High on July 3
+100 Total Score
Can't say I'm terribly impressed if 25% of its score comes from the fact that about 4 weeks after an 80% drop in share price, it was able to set a new 3 week high.
Any information about how many stocks with a score of 100 on this chart have actually risen significantly in near term?
Sentiment: Hold
ya i look at other charts strong up trend .number 1 on one system. if these guys are right ,i hope it flys .
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Michael Lind: Private Sector Parasitestags: Michael Lind, Salon, capitalism, Economy, rentiers
Michael Lind is the author of Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States and co-founder of the New America Foundation.
You don't have to be a Tea Party conservative to believe that the economy is threatened when there are too many "takers" and not enough "makers." The "takers" who threaten the dynamism and fairness of industrial capitalism the most in the twenty-first century are not the welfare-dependent poor—the villains of Tea Party propaganda—but the rent-extracting, unproductive rich.
The term "rent" in this context refers to more than payments to your landlords. As Mike Konczal and many others have argued, profits should be distinguished from rents. "Profits" from the sale of goods or services in a free market are different from "rents" extracted from the public by monopolists in various kinds. Unlike profits, rents tend to be based on recurrent fees rather than sales to ever-changing consumers. While productive capitalists — "industrialists," to use the old-fashioned term — need to be active and entrepreneurial in order to keep ahead of the competition, "rentiers" (the term for people whose income comes from rents, rather than profits) can enjoy a perpetual stream of income even if they are completely passive.
Rents come in as many kinds as there are rentier interests. Land or apartment or rental-house rents flow to landlords. Royalty payments for energy or mineral extraction flow to landowners. Interest payments on loans flow to bankers and other lenders. Royalty payments on patents and copyrights flow to inventors. Professions and guilds and unions can also extract rents from the rest of society, by creating artificial labor cartels to raise wages or professional fees. Tolls are rents paid to the owners of necessary transportation and communications infrastructure. Last but not least, taxes are rents paid to territorial governments for essential public services, including military and police protection....

"Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur" Mural, Ah Quee Street
Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur Mural is a whimsical mural painted on the wall at Ah Quee Street, George Town, Penang. The painting is the work of London-trained artist Ernest Zacharevic, who is commissioned by the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) to provide a collection of street art in conjunction with the 2012 George Town Festival.
Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur Mural, Ah Quee Street, George Town, Penang (30 June, 2012)
Close-up view of the little boy (30 June, 2012)
"Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur" depicts a small boy taking his dinosaur for a walk. The fact that the dinosaur is rendered in the form of child-like graffiti expresses the creative mind of small children and how they merge fantasy with reality. This painting works so well despite its off beat subject. It could have been "Little Boy with His Kite", and would have come across as mundane.
Updates20 September, 2014
The wall on which Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur and Boy on a Bike murals are painted is presently undergoing restoration. I hope that with this restoration, the faded murals will also be touched up.

Two years after it was painted, the mural has greatly deteriorated.
Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur, 2014 (30 June, 2014)
28 August, 2012: The Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur mural appeared in the news when it was found to be vandalised. Someone had scratched on it with what appeared to be charcoal lines. It was the second Ernest Zacharevic mural to be vandalised, the first being Little Children on a Bicycle.

Blogs Liberty and Power Want to Rip Off Your Neighbor? Form a GovernmentMay 7, 2012 6:59 pm
Want to Rip Off Your Neighbor? Form a Government
Facts of the case: My wife and I live in an area with one neighbor nearby. One day, I knock on my neighbor's door and demand that he give me $10,000. He wants to know what the devil I am talking about.
I explain that the people—most of them, in any event—in our area have seceded from St. Tammany Parish, the state of Louisiana, and the United States of America and formed a new government whose territory comprises his property and ours. We have also written and ratified, with our own votes of approval, a constitution for the new country, which we have decided to call Southland. We have also conducted elections in which a 2/3 majority of the eligible voters elected Elizabeth and me to fill all of the new government's offices, including tax collector (I won this vote myself).
My neighbor protests that he has never heard of any of these developments and wants nothing to do with them, to which I reply that he has no choice in the matter because the constitution of Southland gives its government the power to tax, I am the duly elected tax collector, and he is at fault for not following the news more closely and not participating in public affairs. Moreover, the constitution provides for an army to enforce Southland's laws (I have been duly appointed chief of staff), and if he refuses to pay his tax, the authorities will have no choice but to use violence against him to compel payment.
He protests that this whole scheme is madness, that I have gone mad, too, and that he will not give us a dime. Elizabeth and I then form up the ranks of Southland's army: I constitute the infantry, armed with my trusty shotgun, and she leads the army band, which consists of herself with her flute. We march to our neighbor's house and threaten to kill him if he does not give us the $10,000 tax (authorized in a statute enacted by Southland's new government). When he decides that a $10,000 loss is better than being killed by violent maniacs, we march home to the Treasury (it's at our house) with our revenue—a sum whose use will be determined by the Southland legislature, in which Elizabeth and I are the duly elected lawmakers.
