I felt very sad for this poor little devil who was living alone in his enclosure. I also find it distressing that creatures who are unattractive have fewer ‘heroes’.
The world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, the devil has a thick-set, squat build, with a relatively large, broad head and short, thick tail. The famous gape or yawn of the Tasmanian devil that looks so threatening, can be misleading. This display is performed more from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Tasmanian devils maintain bush and farm hygiene by cleaning up carcasses. This can help reduce the risk of blowfly strike to sheep by removing food for maggots.
Devils once occurred on mainland Australia, with fossils having been found widely. But it is believed the devil became extinct on the mainland some 400 years ago – before European settlement. Devils probably became extinct there due to increasing aridity and the spread of the dingo, which was prevented by Bass Strait from entering Tasmania. Today the devil is a Tasmanian icon.
Traditionally their numbers were controlled by food availability, competition with other devils and quolls, loss of habitat, persecution and roadkills. But the greatest recent threat to devils across Tasmania is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) It is sweeping through Tasmania's devil population, killing more than 90% of adults in high density areas and 40-50% in medium-low density areas.
In May 2008, The Tasmanian devil’s status was formally upgraded to ‘endangered’ under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has included the Tasmanian devil under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. They are wholly protected.

Devil's Bridge is a few miles outside of Sedona, AZ. I used to go to Sedona 4 times a year to hike the 4 seasons and this was always one of my favorite spots, albeit my heart was always in my throat when I walked across it.
Saturday 13th of September, 2003 - A few miles further on down Highway 89, we came across this, lovingly known as "The Devils Slide", an enormous and not quite vertical cliff of sandstone and shale, which has bizzarely formed this narrow and very slippery slope in the rock.
I wish I'd been paying more attention to what the sign said about it and how it was formed and all that, as I can't remember now what the importance of it was, and seemingly neither can anyone else, as there's absolutely nothing about it on the internet either other than to say it's a cliff! Answers on a postcard to...
The Devil's Slide in California is a promontory with a steep, collapsing slope just South of Pacifica. Here, the Cretaceous granite of Montara Mountain pushed against the Paleocene mudstone, a mix of marine shale, sandstone and conglomerate, of the San Mateo Coast. Though the fault is now inactive, the mudstone has for decades been collapsing into the Pacific. For years, HWY 1 ran through here, and the area had an sinister reputation of accidents and landslides that would close HWY1 and cut off Pacifica to the South (locals apparently dubbed themselves "the World's longest cul-de-sac"). However after the recent Caltrans project, the area has been sealed off from cars, and made into a hiking trail, though whether the area continues collapsing remains to be seen.

Bunch of noisemakers with Devil clicker at centre. Clickers were originally invented to signal across enemy lines during wartime.
If the Devil gives you critical thinking, knowledge of good and evil, and the power to rule yourself... and God is the one who forces you under his laws into obedience and submission, ignorance, and fear of eternal punishment... then who is the one you really need to be saved from?
oh my - why did i wait SO long before ever making these on my own?! delicious.
i've been craving a good deviled egg for years. i had some perky dill in the fridge just asking to be paired with an egg so i finally got around to making deviled eggs.
i had an idea of what seasonings i wanted to use but decided to check the Joy of Cooking for a basic idea to build on, because i needed these to be everything i've wanted them to be since childhood.
i boiled my eggs with my perfect, no fail, no green yolk technique. fresh eggs, cold water to cover, bring to a boil, turn heat off, put lid on, sit for 10 minutes. voila.
once peeled and the yolks removed i mixed mayo, fresh dill [lots of it!], dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, Wickle relish, salt, pepper, and curry powder [go Irma!]. topped it off with a sprinkle of spicy paprika.
perfect hors d'oeuvres to our final meal with neiva in our lovely birmingham apartment. i won't say final War of Recipes...
Thorny Devil (Moloch horridus) is an Australian lizard. It is also known as the Thorny Dragon, Mountain Devil, Thorny Lizard, or the Moloch and is the sole species of genus Moloch. It grows up to 20 cm (8 in) in length and can live up to 20 years, coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns and tans; these change from pale colours when warm to darker colours when cold. The species is entirely covered with conical spines that are mostly uncalcified. It also features a spiny "false-head" on the back of the neck, the animal presents this to a potential predator by dipping its real head. Females are larger than males. The Thorny Devil's body is ridged in structure, and enables the animal to collect water from any part of its body, which is then channelled to the mouth.
Quite possibly the best Halloween event in Southern California. Amazingly good.

The Devil's Marbles in Central Australia, just after sunset.
This place is located right in the middle of nowhere, but it's a perfect place to spend the night when you're traveling the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Darwin. There's a very basic campground that fills up right at the end of day with people breaking up the long journey at this magical place.
