El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.

Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.

Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.

The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

My librarian.net mail is a lost cause, but I need a way to be contacted via librarian.net. I have an address that librarian.net email goes to and I filter it with procmail so that it goes into one folder. I use WordPress. I dislike all the WordPress solutions I have found so far including Contact Form ][ and Secure Form Mailer.

I'd like something that I can style to fit my themes (often more than one of them) and one where I could set a custom subject line. I'd like it to not attract spambots and I'd like it to not have a CAPCHA if at all possible.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Suggestions?

" Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "

This is a set of photos I took some 10 years ago at my home in Lisbon, with an old point&shoot Kodak.

My Toy loved to jump around the house, always seeking the highest points ...

For 12 years he was a faithful loving friend and companion. He was The Master of the House :-) and he definitely filled it with his presence.

He will always be there... and with us.

Thank you so much, Toy, for having been with us and for those 12 years of joy and tenderness!

I do hope you come to meet me one day... at the Rainbow Bridge.

Lots of love,

Papaver rhoeas (Klatschmohn, Corn Poppy, Red Poppy)

Mohn (Papaver) ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Mohngewächse (Papaveraceae) mit weltweit zwischen 50 und 120 Arten.

Die leuchtend roten Blüten des in Deutschland wilden Klatschmohns (Papaver rhoeas) blühen ab Ende Mai und kennzeichnen den Beginn des Frühsommers.

Der genaue Ursprung des Klatschmohns ist nicht bekannt, jedoch wird Eurasien bzw. Nordafrika (wo heute noch aus der Blüte Schminke auf traditionelle Weise hergestellt wird) angenommen und damit Gebiete, in denen schon lange Ackerbau betrieben wird. Mit dem Ackerbau hat sich auch der Klatschmohn über die ganze Welt verbreitet (Dauerfrostzone bis Subtropen) bevorzugt jedoch die nördliche gemäßigte Zone. Mit dieser Ausbreitungsstrategie gehört der Klatschmohn zu den so genannten hemerochoren Pflanzen, also den Pflanzen, die durch menschliches Zutun Gebiete besiedeln, in denen sie nicht ursprünglich beheimatet sind und die sie ohne die bewusste oder unbewusste Verbreitung durch den Menschen nicht erreicht hätten. Typischer Verbreitungsweg für den Klatschmohn ist die Verunreinigung von Getreidesaatgut durch Klatschmohn (so genannte Speirochorie).

106/365 The Six-fingered man by c l

View Large on Black!

My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword. My father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done...

...The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price, my father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these scars...

...I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Can anyone name the movie? Its a good one! Here is my picture to go along with the quotes!

Alea iacta es czyli stara wypluwka sowy (?) // old owl's (?) pellet by Marcin Stępień

Nie brzydźta sie i zerknijcie Large On Black

ze strony cepl.sggw.pl/edukacja/ptaki_drap/wypluwki.htm :

Co to są wypluwki?

Około 300 gatunków ptaków produkuje wypluwki. Są to niedużych rozmiarów szczątki, wypluwane przez ptaki. Zawierają niestrawione resztki pożywienia.

Najczęściej do badań wykorzystuje się wypluwki sów. Ponieważ zazwyczaj sowy połykają swoje ofiary w całości lub dużych fragmentach, sposób trawienia nie uszkadza zbytnio części kostnych ofiary. Ptaki drapieżne natomiast w większym stopniu uszkadzają podczas zjadania ofiarę i bardziej rozdrabniają elementy kostne (jednakże również można do badań zawartości wypluwek wykorzystać wypluwki myszołowów).

W wypluwkach sów i ptaków drapieżnych znajdują się elementy kostne, fragmenty pancerzy owadów, sierść i pióra. Wszystko jest ze sobą mocno zespolone i tworzy jedną całość. W wypluwkach innych grup ptaków znajdują się pozostałości po owadach, mięczakach, rybach oraz pokarmie roślinnym (głównie nasiona). Wypluwki produkują również m.in. kormorany, czaple, zimorodki, mewy, bociany.

Jak powstają wypluwki?

Po połknięciu ofiary w żołądku ptaka części miękkie zwierzęcia są trawione, natomiast takie, jak kości, pióra, sierść, chitynowe elementy szkieletu owadów, utwory rogowe ptaków i gadów nie są trawione lub trawione częściowo i z żołądka są wypluwane przez dziób.

Wypluwki nie wchodzą w proces trawienia ptaka i nie mają nic wspólnego z odchodami. Są pozbawione nieprzyjemnego zapachu i stanowią bezpieczny materiał do badań.

Sowy produkują dwie, czasami trzy wypluwki w ciągu doby. Od momentu połknięcia ofiary do wyprodukowania z niej wypluwki mija około 6-8 godzin.

Jak zdobyć wypluwki?

Jest to najtrudniejsze zadanie, które należy wykonać przed rozpoczęciem zajęć. Odszukanie sowich wypluwek wymaga znajomości zachowań tych ptaków. Najłatwiej jest je znaleźć w miejscach wypoczynkowych sów, gdzie przesiadują i "plują", czyli wypluwają wypluwki, i wówczas w takim miejscu występują w dużych ilościach. Należy pamiętać, że wszystkie gatunki sów i ptaków drapieżnych są objęte ochroną. Nie wolno ich płoszyć z miejsc lęgowych i wypoczynkowych. Można również nawiązać kontakt z lokalną organizacją zajmującą się ochroną przyrody, parkiem narodowym lub krajobrazowym, lub z ośrodkami, gdzie leczy się zranione ptaki, ogrodem zoologicznym.

Zebrane wypluwki należy przetrzymywać w zamkniętych pojemnikach, gdyż mogą zawierać larwy moli, które chętnie odżywiają się resztkami sierści znajdującej się w wypluwce. Jednak jeśli mają być przechowywane dłużej w taki sposób, należy je przed włożeniem wysuszyć, aby nie zapleśniały w zamkniętym pudełku. W tym celu wystarczy je włożyć na kilkanaście minut do tradycyjnej kuchenki (w temperaturze ok. 200°C) lub na 20 sek. do kuchenki mikrofalowej.

Charadrius hiaticula

El chorlitejo grande (Charadrius hiaticula) es una especie de ave caradriforme de la familia Charadriidae que habita en Eurasia y norte de África.

Descripción

Presenta longitud máxima de 19 cm, envergadura de 48 a 57 cm, y un peso de entre 55 y 75 g. De aspecto similar al chorlitejo chico, diferenciándose principalmente por el tamaño y por la ausencia de anillo ocular en el chorlitejo grande. De color pardo por el dorso y blanquecino por el vientre. Patas y pico en tono naranja claro, terminando el pico en una puntita de color negro.

Distribución

Se localiza en toda la costa atlántica de Europa y norte de África. Presente también en gran parte de la costa mediterránea.

Cría en Eurasia, Groenlandia, noreste de Canadá, y Atlántico europeo hasta Países Bajos, e islas Británicas.

En España es invernante en casi toda la península, sobre todo en Andalucía y la costa cantábrica. Localizado también en Baleares y Canarias.

Hábitat

Por lo general frecuenta costas marinas, nidificando en playas arenosas así como pedregosas, pero también puede desarrollarse en aguas de interior, como marismas o lagos salados.

Voz

Emite frecuentemente, cuando se levanta y al volar, un trino aflautado que podría traducirse como "to-li" o bien "tuulí", antojándose como una voz suave y melancólica.

Dieta

Ingieren pequeños invertebrados que capturan picoteando la arena, pudiendo remover el fango con las patas para que estos salgan y sean llevados a sus fauces tras interrumpirles la huida.

Huevo

El chorlitejo grande presenta un tamaño medio del huevo de entre 32-39,6 x 22,8-28,5 mm. Huevo pardo claro moteado, con manchas de diferentes tamaños y distintos tonos oscuros y marrones. Realiza una o dos puestas al año, que suelen ser de unos 4 huevos. Son incubados por la hembra y el macho durante un periodo de tiempo que comprende unas 3 o 4 semanas.

Subespecies

Se conocen tres subespecies de chorlitejo grande:1

Charadrius hiaticula hiaticula Linnaeus, 1758

Charadrius hiaticula psammodromus Salomonsen, 1930

Charadrius hiaticula tundrae (Lowe, 1915)

Canadian River Cattle Company Ranch 10 by Charlie Middleton

www.chassmiddleton.com/property-details.php?property_ID=16

Location: The ranch is located along the Canadian River in the western Texas Panhandle.

Acres: 71,059 Acres, more or less

Terrain: Approximately 29 miles of the Canadian River runs through the middle of this scenic ranch. The topography varies from rolling uplands to elevated mesa points descending to wide river bottom country. This is truly a beautiful ranching property.

Water: The ranch is exceptionally well watered by the Canadian River, numerous creeks and springs, water wells and earthen ponds.

Improvements: The Canadian River Cattle Company Ranch is considered to be exceptionally well improved. The main lodge has over 7,000 square feet and features 6 bedrooms, 6 and 1/2 baths, and a rustic trophy/game room. Other improvements include pilot's quarters, hand houses, a manager's house, barns, pens, etc. All improvements are very well maintained.

Access: Access is provided by a graded road to the southeast corner of the property. There is no public access through the ranch, and the front gate can be locked to assure privacy. For the convenience of the owner, a 4,500' paved landing strip and airplane hanger are located adjacent to the main lodge.

Hunting/Recreation: The Canadian River Cattle Company offers some of the best hunting to be found in this area of Texas. Recently, two state record mule deer have been harvested, and numerous other trophy quality mule deer were taken from this ranch, but not entered in the Texas Big Game Awards Contest. The ranch also offers quality whitetail deer, antelope, turkey, quail and waterfowl.

In recent years, elk, lion, and bear have also been sighted on the ranch. Without question, this game is following the Canadian River Corridor, which is a major travel route for wildlife.

Price: $475.00 per acre

Remarks: The seller will convey all of his mineral and water right interest. This is one of the most productive, scenic, large blocks of real estate to come on the market in recent years. The ranch has many different historical points of interest, and in an effort to preserve the size, open space, wildlife, and history of this outstanding ranch, the owner placed a conservation easement on the majority of this property. This carefully planned easement will secure the unique features of this ranch for generations to come.

Tibet Blog - Day 1

I have access to my own oxygen bar, sucking back air from a tube is quite a fun experience I did not expect to encounter. Luckily I didn’t actually have to experience this pleasantry for my siblings got to do that for me. I slept.

The flight from Beijing to Lhasa left at 7am on August 6th 2009. That means in order to get your lifeless body to the airport in time to make the flight, you needed to wake up at the ghastly hour of 4am. Or maybe it was actually closer to 5am. All I know is that I never fully woke up.

Halfway through the flight I felt myself becoming incredibly tired. It was as though I had awoke at 4am. And not just that one morning, but every morning previous for as long as I could remember. Needless to say, I fell asleep. This brought me one disadvantage, I missed all offerings of water during the flight which meant my mouth was about as dry as a mouthful of instant coffee. (The kind of coffee one has when they wake up at 4am and are not awake enough to realize that these instant coffee grounds need water. Or maybe that’s what they really mean by “instant”. No water.) I was parched to say the least, but worse yet, I was not feeling too well.

Lhasa, “The Roof of The World” (many probably claim this title) sits at about 3600 meters above sea level. There are over 3000 hours of annual sunshine, magnified due to the high altitude. For the average bloke like me, these statistics mean trouble. There is essentially no air for one to breathe, and your skin roasts the moment it encounters a ray of sun. Sunscreen is a good idea even though it is akin to rubbing yourself down with yak butter or other oils (depending on where you are from) 15 minutes prior to any outdoor activity.

This high altitude means altitude sickness. Somehow I managed to get it while I was on the plane. I had never heard of pre-altitude sickness before (neither has Microsoft Word) but apparently I had it. Before departing Beijing I took Diamox. It is a drug that is supposed to help one adjust to altitude sickness. I just took it because my mom said so, and you always listen to your mother right? Anyways, this drug has a countless number of side effects, all of which I experienced on route to Lhasa. Headache, nausea, extreme tiredness and lack of energy, tingly fingers and toes, the list goes on. So I slept.

I woke up in time to see the flight attendant walk down the isle carrying everyone’s empty water cups. How I craved water then. More interesting and captivating at the time was that I could see in front of the plane! The pilot had turned on a camera underneath the plane so we could see all the mountains and rivers below. Everything looked so green until I looked out of the window. Brown. Not a lot of rain this year at the right time so none of the green things were able to develop properly.

Soon enough we were there! I would have been much more excited had I not felt like an almost lifeless form, one still with enough life in him to wait at the baggage pickup before shuffling over to the awaiting van. I couldn’t wait to find a pillow to lay my head on! The trip from the airport to the hotel took much longer than I would have liked. I was grateful for the new road built which shortened the trip from 100km to 60km. Still, the new road very quickly turned into the old bad road. When your head hits the roof more than once you know the road is bad. I shouldn’t have sat in the back. Nausea was one of the side effects of the drug and this didn’t help.

Things were looking up for me once I took a 4-hour nap at the hotel. For supper we ventured across the street to eat because we were all to weak to go much further. We ended up at a bar/restaurant. I thought it best not to have alcohol due to my slight reaction to the anti-altitude drugs and the altitude itself. I compromised by drinking my ice tea out of a shot glass. We ordered a light Tibetan meal to accompany our drink. Noodles, yak curry with rice, and cucumbers. The food was probably more of a Chinese/Tibetan fusion, but tasty just the same. Following dinner two of the waitresses sang two Tibetan songs for us. One was about love, and the other about a father passing on. Personalized entertainment is the best. Though sleep is better, at least it was then, so that’s what I did. Slept.

A storefront in Fort Bragg, California that is more like a museum of physics experiments and rock collections. Following is a (genuine) quote from (as the sign states) Larry Spring (from) www.teslatech.info/ttstore/articles/spring/discover.htm

".... I extended the QUANTUM THEORY far beyond the way it is being taught today, when in 1989, I recognized the need for change from the ATOM MODEL with orbiting electrons, to the SPRING ATOM with electrons moving hack and forth, the NEUTRON being an electron and proton pair, and when in 1995, I determined the inversion of the radiated magnetic field during reflection from an opposing repulsion magnetic field produced by an induced electrical current on a surface, or a resonant length metalic rod, many TRUTHS were revealed, and many THEORIES of the past were discarded.....

Fernando Amorsolo: Evening Meal on a Raft House by Leo Cloma

FERNANDO AMORSOLO (1892 - 1972)

Evening Meal on a Raft House

Estimate: PHP 7,500,000 - 8,000,000

Signed and dated '1933' (lower right)

Oil on canvas

38 x 46 cm (15 x 18 in)

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Sylvia Amorsolo-Lazo

National Artist Fernando Amorsolo’s impressive and extensive oeuvre single-handedly reshaped the standards of genre painting in the country — his techniques and utilization of the academic style becoming the norm during and long after his lifetime.

Having temporarily lived in the coastal town of Daet in his childhood served as early exposure to the delights of rural living for the young Amorsolo, which clearly manifests in the lot on offer. Painted in 1933, during the master’s so-called “Golden Era,” Evening Meal on a Raft House is a rare and captivating example of the artist’s idyllic figurative style showing subject matter that hearkens back to simpler and more peaceful times. Central to the painting is a family of four settling down for their evening meal in the light of the setting sun. They reside in a bamboo raft house, where a fishing boat can be seen anchored on the far left, thus clueing the viewer that Amorsolo is depicting a family of fisherfolk. What makes this artwork so collectible is its departure from usual motifs — here, instead of daytime scenes featuring farmers toiling in the fields and women bathing or washing clothes in the riverside, the artist instead chooses to illustrate fishermen winding down to rest with their families at the end of the day. The influence of Impressionism and the artist’s mastery over oil painting is clearly exhibited in the carefully painted dapples of light shining off the water, and in the distorted reflection of the hut in the ocean. The romantic atmosphere that would dominate his later works is evidenced by the gentle hues of the cloudy sky — rendered in a soft hued symphony of orange, blue, and white — amplifying the dream-like calm that settles over the scene, and embodying the innocent charm and delicacy that makes Amorsolo’s works so embedded in the Filipino consciousness and beloved by collectors the world over.

Damn you Zelie, now I have to think of another 10 Random Things!!

1) The only animal in Pet stores that I would not own is a Ferret. I was attacked by a couple of male ones when I was 6 years old (family friends had four sons who thought it was funny to lock me in the shead with thier hunting Ferrets) and even now I don't trust them! They are cute, I understand why some people love them and I will be nice to your pet Ferret - THROUGH the cage!

2) I love Glee. I don't admit it to everyone, but I was in show choir during my year in a USA high school. We has blue sequined dresses, shiny tights and black tap shoes, mmmmmmm 1998 Iowa fashion!

3) I am terrified at the idea of making money off my photography. Its something I need to start thinking about to make back some of the money I spend on Camera and Computer equipment!

4) If I could live my life in a green forest surrounded by love, music and friends I would be the happiest girl in the world.

5) I have a temper. One that flares up instantaneously yet fades quickly, for the most part anyway. I dont hold grudges but fuck me over and I may not be able to forgive and forget.

6) I am in love with the American Apparell Bandeu Dress. I have bought three in the last year and now have Black, Teal and Forest Green. Im wearing the Teal one in this shot 3>

7) I have the biggest thighs in the world! OMG I used to think I just had a fat arse but now i realize its my legs, damn things.

8) I love Kiwi accents. I know that Australians are meant to hate everything New Zealand but it is the cutest way of talking, I used to pay my friend Erin to say "Six" and "Beer" when we were drunk cause it always makes me laugh :)

9) Some songs always make me cry, not because they are so beautiful or special it just seams like certain lines make me tear up. "And I can't remember if I cried when I heard about his widowed bride. But something touched me deep inside the day the music died"

10) I have been engaged for over a year and I still think that I dont want a ceremony.

Stunning magical celebration party = yes

Pressure-filled old-fashioned ceremony = no.

I've been meaning to tell you

I've got this feelin' that won't subside

I look at you and I fantasize

You're mine tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I wanna hold you so hear me out

I wanna show you what love's all about

Darlin' tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I've got hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With those hungry eyes

Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see

This love was meant to be

[SOLO]

I've got hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I

I've got hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With those hungry eyes

Now did I take you by surprise

With my hungry eyes

I need...

Hungry eyes

Now I've got you in my sights

With my hungry eyes
