Geographic Range
This species inhabits the arid region from the Pilbara in northwestern Australia to southwestern Queensland.
- Biogeographic Regions
- australian
Mulgaras inhabit the arid, sandy regions of Australia. They lives in burrows that they dig on the flats between low sand-dunes or on the slopes of high dunes. The complexity of the burrow varies. Burrows in central Australia usually have only one entrance with two or three side tunnels and numerous pop-holes, while those in Queensland have more than one entrance and deeper branching tunnels.

Physical Description
Head and body length varies from 125 to 220 mm, and tail length is 70 to 130mm. The upper parts of this mammal vary from buffy to bright red brown, and the underparts are usually white or creamy. The pelage is close and soft, and it consists principally of underfur with few guard hairs. The tail is usually thickened for about 2/3 of its length and near the body is densely covered with coarse, chestnut hairs. In the middle, the hairs are coarse and black, and they increase in length toward the tip to form a distinct dorsal crest. This animal is compactly built, with short limbs, a broad head, short ears, and a pointed muzzle. The pouch area consists of only slightly developed lateral skin folds.
- Other Physical Features
- endothermic
- homoiothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- sexes alike
Little is known about mating in mulgaras.
Little is known about breeding in the wild, but the breeding season begins in mid May and lasts about six weeks. Gestation is approximately 30 days and the litter size is six to eight. The young first detach from the nipples at about 55 days and are independent at four months. Individuals of both sexes have been known to come into breeding condition each year for six years, suggesting that they are fairly long-lived animals.

Mulgaras are terrestrial, but they are capable of climbing. They also seem to be both diurnal and nocturnal, with most foraging occurring at night. A mulgara avoids exposure to heat during the hot part of the day by remaining in its burrow. However, it basks in the sun whenever the opportunity arises. When sunning, the body is flattened against the substrate, and the tail twitches sporadically. In captivity, mulgaras can be kept in pairs, and they generally do not fight among themselves, appearing quite solicitous of each other. A pair of adults received by the National Zoological Park was alive and well after six years.
Communication and Perception
Mulgaras have keen vision, smell, touch, and acoustic senses. Little is known about how they communicate, but they probably use this full suite of senses in communication, including touch, body postures, chemical cues, and vocalizations.
Food Habits
The diet of mulgaras includes insects, other arthropods, and small vertebrates. Mulgaras are able to consume 25% of their own weight in food and can subsist without drinking water or even eating succulent plants, because it is able to extract sufficient water from a diet of lean meat or mice. A mulgara attacks a mouse and other small vertebrates with lightening speed. It then devours the animal methodically from head to tail, inverting the skin in a remarkably neat fashion. It also is skillfull at dislodging insects from crevices by means of its tiny forepaws.
- Primary Diet
- eats terrestrial vertebrates
- insectivore
- eats non-insect arthropods
- Animal Foods
- birds
- mammals
- reptiles
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
Mulgaras seek refuge from predators in their burrows and by being vigilant. The primary predators of mulgaras may be large snakes, dingos, and humans.
Ecosystem Roles
Mulgaras are important predators of small mammals and arthropods in the ecosystems in which they live.
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Mulgaras are important members of the ecosystems in which they live.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no negative effects of mulgaras on humans.
Conservation Status
Mulgaras ae considered threatened and vulnerable under the EPBC act in Australia. They are very rare in Queensland and South Australia. Their decline may be associated with habitat disturbances caused by the European introduction of livestock, pets, and rabbits. On the other hand, they are common in Northern Territory.

- altricial
young are born in a relatively underdeveloped state; they are unable to feed or care for themselves or locomote independently for a period of time after birth/hatching. In birds, naked and helpless after hatching.
- bilateral symmetry
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
- carnivore
an animal that mainly eats meat
- chemical
uses smells or other chemicals to communicate
- desert or dunes
in deserts low (less than 30 cm per year) and unpredictable rainfall results in landscapes dominated by plants and animals adapted to aridity. Vegetation is typically sparse, though spectacular blooms may occur following rain. Deserts can be cold or warm and daily temperates typically fluctuate. In dune areas vegetation is also sparse and conditions are dry. This is because sand does not hold water well so little is available to plants. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil. Salt limits the ability of plants to take up water through their roots.
- diurnal
- active during the day, 2. lasting for one day.
- endothermic
animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature. Endothermy is a synapomorphy of the Mammalia, although it may have arisen in a (now extinct) synapsid ancestor; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities. Convergent in birds.

parental care is carried out by females
- fertilization
union of egg and spermatozoan
- fossorial
Referring to a burrowing life-style or behavior, specialized for digging or burrowing.

An animal that eats mainly insects or spiders.
- internal fertilization
fertilization takes place within the female's body
- iteroparous
offspring are produced in more than one group (litters, clutches, etc.) and across multiple seasons (or other periods hospitable to reproduction). Iteroparous animals must, by definition, survive over multiple seasons (or periodic condition changes).

POLICE are guarding Turkana, Teso and Luo communities at Moi's Bridge on the border of Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu counties to stop forced male circumcision. Twelve men have been forcibly circumcised causing others to seek refuge at a police station.
More than 200 men who faced threats of being cut had camped at the local police station but they have now been released to go back to their homes under police security.
The circumcision season for the Bukusu community is ongoing in Western Kenya. Some members of communities that do not practise circumcision have fled for safety.
"There are some men from the local community who have been saying that we have to face the cut," said resident David Ekai, who was forcibly circumcised. He said circumcision is against his ancestral tradition and that they should not be forced to go through it, but he is happy that he can now walk freely in the community.
"This will give me freedom to live here peacefully," Ekai told the Star on Monday. Interestingly, one of the wives of the men who underwent the cut forcibly, said she is happy that her husband is now a "total man".
Police in the area said they will protect those who do not want to go through the rite. Local Bukusu elder John Nangabo said all men should be circumcised because it signifies passage from childhood to adulthood.
"It also helps to prevent spread of diseases like HIV-Aids," he said. However the elder said men should be convinced to undergo the cut and not forced.

Aquarium dolphin dies
CORPUS CHRISTI - After a summer battling a lung condition, Cobie, one of four Atlantic bottlenose dolphins housed at Texas State Aquarium, died Friday.
"Cobie was a wonderful ambassador for his aquatic brethren," said Tom Schmid, aquarium executive director, "and he touched the lives of millions of people."
The 15-year-old male dolphin arrived from the National Aquarium in Baltimore in October 2005 with his partner, Shadow, also a 15-year-old male. Both still belong to the Baltimore aquarium, which Schmid says will help find another partner for Shadow.
Dolphin shows were canceled Friday, but will resume today.
Cobie was diagnosed with pneumonia in June, and his primary medical caretaker, veterinarian Tim Tristan, collaborated with other veterinarians in a consortium of aquariums and zoos that collectively manage and care for a large group of dolphins. The exact cause of death is not yet determined, but Tristan began a necropsy Friday.
"This loss is an opportunity to learn more about dolphin biology," Schmid said. "Even in their passing they teach us."
The Baltimore facility's veterinarian commended the mammal's local caretakers for their diligent work day and night, Schmid said.
"The trainers who worked with Cobie every day are suffering a terrible loss," he said. "They develop an intense bond with these animals and it really is traumatic when we lose one."
Trainers focused Friday on the needs of Shadow, whose behavior showed his sense of loss, Schmid said. "These partners tend to bond, and Shadow is feeling the loss, so trainers are spending a lot more time with him now."

COVINGTON - If you want to help prepare children for school, The Learning Center is making that as easy as a roll of the dice.This Friday, The Learning Center will sponsor a Ladies Big Bunco tournament from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Center on Washington Street, with proceeds to benefit programs aimed at preparing children through age 4 for their upcoming school days. The event is for women only and is meant to be a fun and relaxing way to help a good cause, Learning Center Executive Director Mollie Melvin said. "It's less of a game and more of a social occasion," Melvin said. The Learning Center has held several of these fundraisers over the years, and Melvin said often participants who've never played bunco are intimidated. But the game is actually quite simple: Two teams of two roll dice in sequence. The team with the highest score advances to another table, while the low scoring team remains at the same table. At the end of the evening, the individuals with the highest and lowest scores will receive prizes. Tickets to the event are $20 per player, with proceeds to benefit Learning Center programs such as Leap Into Books, a 30-minute workshop for adults at which children age 4 and younger are signed up to receive a hardback book every month until their fifth birthday. "The books are provided by the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and are full-size board and picture books that you can buy at chain bookstores," Melvin said. "In fact, the books are the single greatest program expense of our organization, and we offer it to any eligible child totally free of charge." The Dollywood Foundation requires The Learning Center to raise the money locally to pay for books at a cost of approximately $35 per year per child, which is much less than the actual retail cost of the books, Melvin said. The Learning Center provides Imagination Library books to more than 1,000 Newton County children each month. In 2008, The Learning Center will also offer programs that show how parents can use music, nutrition and theater activities to stimulate their young child's mind. Tickets to Friday's event can be purchased by calling 770-787-2778 or visiting www.leapintobooks.org. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with practice beginning at 7 and the game starting at 7:15 p.m. Crystal Tatum can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

COLLEGE STATION - Extensive damage at a College Station home has prevented fire investigators from finding out the cause of a fire that left the occupant dead.
According to the College Station Fire Marshal's office, an "extensive investigation" eliminated every possible ignition source in the home in the 1100 block of Eagle Avenue, so the fire's cause is being ruled "undetermined."
Janet Davis, 48, and two dogs died in the early morning July 10 fire. It was the first deadly fire in College Station since August 2010.
Davis' body was found in a second floor room. Firefighters had trouble getting to the second floor initially because of damage to the stairs.
The cause of Davis' death has not yet been determined by a medical examiner.

About Gizelle Perez
Drawing has always been my hobby ever since I was a child and as I grew up, I learned how to use different media such as oil and chalk pastels, charcoal and colored pencils, and finally acrylic and oil paints. Since I never had a formal background in arts, I tried to learn as much as I could by taking crash courses and private lessons from different instructors to learn the various techniques on rendering an artwork. And during my learning process, I realized that my passion is more on portrait painting and bringing out the inner essence of each of my subjects.
I admire impressionist painters such as Renoir, Degas and Monet. And as much as I would like to be an impressionist painter, I seem to be drawn towards realism as I unconsciously focus on the details of my subjects. In my younger years, I used to make replicas of impressionistic paintings until eventually I discovered my own style which is to reveal the natural image of my subjects.
My source of inspiration is my daughter Gwen whom I have made several sketches and paintings since she was a toddler. Because of her, I have developed my love for painting children. It gives me a feeling of fulfillment as I paint the pure and natural expressions on their faces. The light in their eyes seems to resonate their innocent outlook towards life and this moves me and drives me to start painting.
Calm and melancholic scenes also attract me especially when they're full of greens � which is my favorite color. I love the calm waters, the trees, the grass, the blue skies and the colors of flowers from a distance. All these inspire me to embrace and look forward to the brighter side of life.

So how long till Shaq fights Tim Sylvia?
So how long till Shaq fights Tim Sylvia?
I know it would be pure freakshow but I would watch Shaq vs Paul "The Giant" "The Big Show" White. I would just rather the UFC doesn't go completely down the spectacle route, have that fight in Japan.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
I wonder if this could pave the way for Brock's return?? The guy used to cut to make 265 and with all those dietary issues (diverticulitis) it might be easier for him?? I'm most likely wrong but still I for one would like to see him return, I think he is the kind of guy that would fight better against a guy that is actually bigger than him with all his athleticism. DEMON.
Possible, but age is not on Brock's size, and when a young 'Cain' like 280 pounder comes up, Brock will not even be ranked.
I hear what your saying but in my opinion Brock is the closest thing you can get to a 280 pound Cain. 99% of guys that big simply don't have that kind of agility and speed. I think at 6 foot 3 and 280 pounds with his kind of athleticism and takedown ability he would give fits to most 300 pound 7 foot monsters...and I'm not so sure they would have the speed required like Cain does to get out of the way of (to use Randy Couture's phrase) lunchbox fists. Just my opinion though. DEMON
Just to clarify what I'm saying is I think that Brock could be to a 7 footer what Cain was to Brock. DEMON.
I don't see Brock coming back under any circumstances. Even against plodding giants the reality is he will never be the athlete he once was. He has been through enough unrelated health issues without risking any unnecessary punishment, especially considering he is cashing a huge pay cheque from WWE for doing very little. At this point in time the UFC needs Brock a lot more than Brock needs the UFC.

Royals demote Wade Davis to bullpen, will promote Danny Duffy to make Wednesday start
Aug 27, 2013, 11:24 PM EDT
Wade Davis gave up seven earned runs on eight hits and three walks in a six-inning start Saturday against the Nationals, watching his season ERA climb to 5.67 and his WHIP jump to 1.76. He will not take another turn in the Kansas City starting rotation.
According to Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star, the 27-year-old right-hander was officially demoted to the Royals' bullpen on Tuesday and 24-year-old left-hander Danny Duffy will be called up to claim the vacant rotation spot Wednesday versus the Twins.
The Royals acquired Davis from the Rays in that six-player offseason trade that was headlined by James Shields and Wil Myers.
It's a deal that keeps looking worse and worse for Kansas City.
- flamethrower101 - Aug 27, 2013 at 11:36 PM
The acquisition wasn't the problem. The problem was Kansas City's asinine insistance on using him in the rotation. There was a reason that Joe Maddon demoted him to the bullpen: he wasn't cut out to be a starter. He excelled as a reliever in 2012, and then what happens? Kansas City turns around and plugs him back in the rotation. Why they did this is beyond me, but what makes it even worse is their unwillingness to admit that it was a dumb idea and pull him sooner.
He is not a starter. He is a reliever. KC should've used him as such. Instead, they screwed him up and made him look bad, and now the trade looks even worse.
So no, Dayton Moore, the Royals are not "ahead of schedule" because there IS no schedule because you guys clearly have no idea what the hell you're doing.

She makes $85 an hour for getting laid on the internet and has earned the grand total of $21,629? That is poverty.
- coloradogolfcoupons - Aug 28, 2013 at 5:00 AM
I don't even recall KC even bringing up Meyers after rosters expanded the last couple of years to see what they had. Did he ever get a Sept. call-up?
If not, it was a gigantic mistake. Trading the #1 prospect in all of baseball for a 32 yr old starter who is not a true ace, and a reliever cum starter…without seeing Meyers ever face MLB pitching….was one of the dumbest moves by any organization in my memory, and I have been watching MLB since 1957. Meyers has Trout-like talent, and if KC HAD to trade for pitching, they should have held out for David Price, or NO DEAL. Both pitchers they got, Shields and Davis, will be trivia questions in a couple years while Meyers may win several MVPs. A monster talent, basically given away by a GM desperately trying to win to save his job. Awful decision even at the time of the trade, made even worse by Meyers tearing up MLB pitching, and little to show for it. The Royals took Hochever over Kershaw in the draft, and the Meyers trade will probably haunt them more than missing out on the best 25 yr old pitcher in the game, Kershaw.
- blingslade - Aug 27, 2013 at 11:47 PM
Good move, Duffy can do a lot better than Davis. I'm thinking he'll start on Thu vice Wed but I could be wrong.
- giantboy99 - Aug 27, 2013 at 11:52 PM
James Shields will be long gone and Will Myers will be tearing it up in TB for years to come.
- kcrobert10 - Aug 28, 2013 at 7:55 AM
Ok 1st its well documented that I was never a fan of the trade last off-season. That said what is done is done timeto move on. Yes the royals will probably not make the post season but I will say as a fan who has only seen 1 winning season in 20 yrs finishing above 500 is a marked improvement. I belive resigning Santana for next yr is very important so Mr glass needs to put up or shut up and he doesn't really want to play with money sell this team to someone who can or does. The rotation next yr of shields, Santana, Guthrie, Duffy, and Ventura should be nice. The rf I would target would be beltran that should help the offense.
- kcw0lf - Aug 28, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Myers was never called up with the Royals because they did not want to start his service time and have to add him to the 40 man roster.
- sportsdrenched - Aug 28, 2013 at 9:42 AM
or, Ned & Dayton didn't want to take playing time away from Frenchy. Which makes no sense to anyone else. But if you've seen this front office operate…is not surprising.
- sportsdrenched - Aug 28, 2013 at 9:47 AM
As soon as Duffy was ready this move should have been made.
If you really want a good laugh, and aren't sure whether Dayton Moore needs to be fired, you need to read this article.
Jeffery Flannagan is the Glass Family's personal beat reporter, so he always get the best delusional quotes out of them and Dayton Moore.

Types of Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse happens when loose tissue in the rectum slides downward. The loose tissue may partially or completely stick out of the anus.
There are three types of rectal prolapse:
- Complete prolapse. Part of the wall of the rectum slides down and sticks out from the anus. At first, this may occur only during a bowel movement. In later stages, the prolapse may happen when the person stands or walks. Or it may stay outside the body all the time.
- Partial prolapse (also called mucosal prolapse). Only the lining of the rectum slides down. The lining of the rectum usually comes out of the anus only when the person strains to have a bowel movement. Partial prolapse is most common in children younger than 2. A partial prolapse can sometimes be confused with hemorrhoids.
- Internal prolapse. One part of the wall of the large intestine or rectum slides over another part of the rectum, like the folding parts of a toy telescope. The rectum does not protrude outside the anus. Internal prolapse is most common in children.
Treatment for rectal prolapse depends on the type of prolapse. Treatment may include changes in diet. Or it may include medicines or surgery.

I still believe...
I am a self confident, fairly out going, down to earth, happy, grounded person, who always has a smile on my face. I am comfortable with who I am and know what I believe in. For the most part, I am an easy going person. I am not a big fan of drama or games. I prefer hot to cold, beach to snow. I have traveled a lot and that has really shaped how I look at the world. I lived abroad for six and a half years. I am a CO native, but was gone for 12 years. Still really miss living overseas. I am a positive person. Life has not always been vanilla, but I am a strong positive person who seeks to find the treasures that are to be found in any situation. My ultimate relationship goal is to meet a man that loves and wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him. I want to be in a relationship in which we are both equally as emotionally invested. I would love to find someone with whom I could share the small and the large triumphs of life. I have a great time what ever I do and I enjoy life.

Burn like a chariot
Lyric Meaning
I don't think a chariot (ancient, horse powered, vehicle) burns in any significant way
Black Thought is probably referencing the movie Chariots of Fire, or the William Blake poem from which it got its name:
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
Alternatively this could also refer to the Greek sun god Helios, who rode a chariot which was pulled by flaming horses

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test required for admission to all ABA-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many non-ABA-approved law schools. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants. The test is administered four times a year at hundreds of locations around the world.
Many law schools require that the LSAT be taken by December for admission the following fall. However, taking the test earlier—in June or October—is often advised.
Almost all ABA-approved law schools will also require that you register for the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). To find out if you are required to register for LSDAS, see LSDAS Candidate Requirements and LSAC registration at: LSAC
The registration fee for the LSAT is $136. Late registrants must pay an additional $68.

Bright future for Deniliquin as council corrects poor prediction
Deniliquin Council has welcomed the release of the latest statistics which show Deniliquin's population is rising.April 15, 2014 3:57am
Contrary to the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure's prediction, Deniliquin's population is on the rise.
Deniliquin Council has welcomed the release of the latest statistics which show the town's population has increased by 19 people from 2011 to 2012 and 40 people from 2012 to 2013.
Mayor Lindsay Renwick said the Australian Bureau of Statistics data for country and regional NSW is proof the town is growing again, after a decline during the Millennium Drought.
Cr Renwick said the recently released figures shows the town's population had increased by one per cent in 2012 and 2013, taking the town's population to 7376 as of 2013.
The data also adds considerable weight to council's calls for a review of a report from the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure released in September last year, which predicts Deniliquin will lose a quarter of its population (1600 people) within 20 years.
That report was based on the 2011 census, but only took into account the population decline during the drought, not the recent recovery.
''There has been a slight increase in our population in both 2012 and 2013, which is in line with what council has believed,'' Cr Renwick said.
''Although the increase is only one per cent, it shows we are now heading in the right direction after the challenging years of the drought and the closure or our rice mill and abattoirs.''
Cr Renwick said council is confident two projects of state significance will go ahead.
If they do, he believes the town will experience its strongest growth in history.
''It is disappointing when inaccurate figures about our town's future are being distributed,'' Cr Renwick said.
''However, on the positive side the latest ABS data is proof that our population is slowly increasing.
''Council is confident that two projects of state significance will go ahead, and if this occurs we are likely to have the strongest growth in our town's history.
''This is the message we want to get out to potential developers.''
Cr Renwick acknowledged that suggestions of a population decline could have a negative impact on development, but believes this will be overshadowed by the latest figures, coupled with an air of confidence surrounding the town's future.
''Deniliquin is open for business. That is the message the council wants to deliver and I am pleased that we now have data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics which proves our population is heading in the right direction,'' Cr Renwick said.
He said there were exciting times ahead for the town, with growth prospects stronger than he had seen in about 17 years on council.

Achieving a painterly style digitally?
I'm interested in achieving a similar painting style to the one in the attached image. I assume this involves various types of brushes. Is this effect easy to achieve in photoshop? Or is Painter required? If I can use PS what sort of brushes should I be looking for? Or how should I be making them?
Thanks for your time,

It is less about brushes and more about just painting. You could do almost all of that with just a basic round brush. But there is a brush sharing thread in the PS forums (I think) if you want to find some things to play around with.
Brushes are fun, but they can't replace the ability to paint and understanding about light, atmosphere, perspective, or color

The answer to your question is something you largely have to discover yourself with your own experience and experimentation.
I've been using photoshop as my primary medium for about 11 years now and only in the last 2-3 did I start to really get that "painted" look. If you want a quick fix, buy Artrage (like 25 bucks) or Painter (more, obviously) and use them in conjunction with Photoshop...that's the best advice I can give.
August 24th, 2010 #4
Getting that 'painterly' texture is mostly about not making everything perfectly smooth/blended, from what I've gathered in tutorials and experimentation on my own. Most people tend to want to render everything totally smooth (especially areas of skins and fabrics), but seeing those brush strokes is what gives you that texture you're looking for. You can have things look smooth, just try not to make it look like a seamless blend. It's not about what brush you're using, really, it's about how you're using it.
Most of the really good guys do use some texture brushes for quick areas of detail, but they generally use either the basic PS brushes, or they've got slightly modified versions of the PS brushes that they use as their main brushes.

Brushes can perhaps help, but as has been said, you could achieve similar results with a basic round brush. It's just work on top of work, building up, and what you get is that end result..."effect". It doesn't happen in minutes, but that's part of the beauty of it.
Different artists have different "painterly" styles of looks to their work because different artists have different workflows and methods. Keep working hard, and discover your own.

There's nothing in that picture that you couldn't get with the hard and soft round brushes in Photoshop. Looking at it, it looks like the artist worked primarily with a soft brush, and then layed some hard edges down with a hard brush at full opacity, giving it that "painterly" quality. You wouldn't need any special software or custom brushes to duplicate the effect.

I have been stuck in a design slump the last few weeks, I have let my craft become stagnant as I have spent time in other facets of my life.
I challenged myself to design something in 10 minutes. This is what came of those 10 minutes.
I also learned a couple things about design by doing this:
#1 - Baby rabbits are freaking cute.
#2 - Designing without an end goal is pointless.
#3 - Did I mention bunnies are cute?
