Ozzie - The white tiger cubs are adorable. Many years ago DH and I saw the Siegfried & Roy show in Vegas and they had a huge white tiger on the stage. The show was amazing even though I don't approve of animals in captivity. Apparently their animals live the life of Riley in beautiful gardens and are very well taken care of.

The video of the beached whales is so sad :'( wish biologists could figure out why this happens and then do something to stop it.

Hi I'm Carol and I'm an eagleholic!!

Jill the car on the right in the photo looks like the one my brother had many eons ago.
except his was black and it had a "rumble seat" You had nice views on your trip. How did your
cooking on the car engine turn out. Ha!

In referance to my placemat idea, I took a picture of mine (which is well worn as I use it on my desk all the time) But I could not get it to print here. even though Photobucket said it was
copied. I just wanted you to see what they actually look like in case they decided to do it.

Our rain has finally stopped and there is a full moon tonight but it sure is cool for August and
that makes me sad.

Could some one please tell me what it means (Choose file) at the bottom :ok:

We didn't cook on our manifold this time Carol! We brought tuna fish sandwiches! :P

You should be able to post your pic from photobucket here! I'm not sure what you're doing wrong! :D

At the bottom of your photobucket file it says choose file? Or ?

sunnyland7, do you mean choose a theme?

The dark color background ( nellow ) is energy efficient , the white background ( zeta original )
less efficient.

CDN, I just bumped up " The Creation " to next movie.

Naturegal..Baby Israel Maer is doing fine. :wub:

Lily the Black Bear - Update August 22, 2010 - 8:04 PM CDT

Play can be confusing

RC's big cub playing with yearling Ty - August 22, 2010

When RC's playful cub initiated play with Bows yearling Ty, I thought of how the same cub initiated play with Hope a few days ago. Hope didn't understand. The two touched noses at the base of a big white pine tree. Hope blew in fear, and they both leaped up the tree to escape.

It was a different story tonight when the cub tried to play with Ty. The cub is the biggest we know this year, around 85 pounds. Ty is the smallest yearling we know, around 140, nearly twice the cub's weight. Their motions were quick, like fighting, but the swats did not connect or connected only lightly. The bites were more feints than actual bites, and when they did bite, they didn't close their mouths. Sometimes the yearling pushed the cub down. Sometimes the cub rose up and pushed Ty down.

They drifted close to RC, who was strangely tolerant of Ty coming within 15 feet. Ty recognized that he was intruding and moved off with the cub following to continue playing at a safe distance from mom. RC is the most defensive bear we know and she is often aggressive towards other bears. The two players drifted off into the bushes playing as they went. Bears are among the most playful animals, which may be a sign of intelligence. Play is most highly developed in the more intelligent mammals like bears, dogs, cats, primates, etc.

Meanwhile, a lot is going on.

It is Hope's 7-month birthday and Lily fans are celebrating with a party and generous donations! Wonderful and unexpected. Lily and Hope were surprise visitors to the research field station this morning. Lily weighed 223 lbs but Hope was not comfortable approaching the scale.

The interpretive nature trail at the Bear Center received some much-needed help from four groups from the Voyageur Outward Bound School over the last 2 weekends. Thanks to their youthful energy a new trail loop - including a 20' boardwalk - should be ready for the public by next weekend. The students also moved the 'Jan Billy' bench given by Lily fans to the new loop, where it now sits under a cedar tree to greet hikers. Eventually the new loop will have signs identifying plants, bear foods, etc.

The Education Outreach people continued nonstop in locations across America making Bear Boxes, lesson plans, new technology, etc. Teacher survey forms continue to come in as part of the Education Outreach project. To participate, click this link http://www.bear.org/website/component/chronocontact/?chronoformname=Questionnaire.

At the same time, the newly formed grant committee was coming up with a new way to raise money through voting. That should be ready to post and mention in the update tomorrow.

Thank you for all you do.

How utterly awful about that trap and its contents Kris :8O:

A few years ago, and I tried to find the article but couldn't, there was an elderly man here who was mad because raccoons and/or dogs were getting into his garbage and making a mess for him to clean up. He decided to electrify the lid of the can to shock the animal/s and 'teach them a lesson'. Well, a young boy ended up in the hospital when his bike handlebars touched the can and he was burned. Stupid people never think about the other consequences, just what they want to have happen :angry:

You and Ed did the exact right things to get rid of it and you left the perfect note too. :)^
Now someone thinks Big Brother is 'watching' :><: :><: :><:

My DIL posted this blueberry muffin recipe on FB.
She said they came out delish. :Yum:
Topa I am going to make these. Are they baked at 350 and for how long? I like the whole wheat/soy milk/applesauce ingredients :D

Your newest yeled baby Israel Maer looks quite sophisticated already :) it must be because he can see what all his siblings are up to. Water balloon bowling...what a novel concept and so much fun for the kidlets  :lol:
