 I really wanted to use the pearls somewhere and decided to add to the top. My dd said it looked like a purse, but I also think it makes the ATC look sort of like an ornament.
Well I have to say You Did a great job on this vintage piece...I really like your style....And its so stinkin Cute....GREAT JOB.
Love it - so pretty and sweet!! A new favorite! You're right - it does look like an ornament. I've actually hung some ATCs on my Christmas tree before!
Oh my gosh this is soo beautiful!! I love it!! Just such a precious picture!!Despite a ban on importing the Asian snakehead fish into the country, a British angler has caught one of the predators in a river there. A two foot long one, in fact..
I don't believe I have ever heard of a fish protecting its young. That sounds more than a little sensationalist. Here's the Wikipedia entry on snakeheads. They are actually considered a valuable food species in many areas. That is not to say that it is a good thing they have been found where they shouldn't be. Importing exotic "pets" should be frowned on, especially when they are potentially dangerous to native species, as the snakehead is.
Releasing non-native fish is a form of terrorism. It impacts many people. Hopefully someone remembers someone who had these fish in an aquarium and turns them in.Ordinary sunfish protect the area they lay their eggs until they hatch and then some. You can watch them in the spring running off much bigger fish.
Yup,This is not a first. Other fish species are known to protect their young. Be afraid!
Some fish protect their young until they are bigger. Then they have no parental instincts and will eat them if food is scarce.
I keep tropical fish, and parental behavior is pretty common, especially among the cichlid species. At least one species of African cichlid I know of develops multi-generational parental instincts, with the young of one hatching helping to protect the next. It’s amusing to watch "Mom and Dad" get frustrated trying to keep all their young in one place; it makes one realize that some things are universal.

The FNB Dance Umbrella opened last week and will run in various venues in Johannesburg until March 19, 2005.
One of the highlights this year is a new work from Durban-based choreographer Jay Pather, who will be working in various spaces in Constitution Hill with a work entitled The beautiful ones must be born on March 5 and 6 at 18h00.
The beautiful ones must be born takes its title and premise from the novel, The beautiful ones are not yet born by Ayi Kwei Armah, essentially about post-independent Ghana.
In South Africa now, in the wake of ten years democracy parties, the dance theatre production is a conversation on several levels: with Armah's novel, impulses of violence, deferred rage, corruption, conscience, deceit, collusion, apathy, change and the perpetual quest for justice. In this regard the work which takes place at various spaces at Constitution Hill also becomes a conversation with a history replete with struggle, nobility and sacrifice, The spaces, large in both size and history serve at once as revered temple and places of ironic nostalgia.
The work is conceived by Jay Pather who also works with the traditional and the classical as sharp relief to the contemporary. Here he works with dance styles from classical Zulu, Indian and ballet, to contemporary dance, video art and text. The range of dancers has been drawn from several companies: Siwela Sonke Dance Theatre and Pravika's Kathak Kendra from Kwa Zulu Natal and Moving into Dance and the graduates of the South African Ballet Theatre from Gauteng.
Music has been composed and arranged by Jurgen Brauninger while the production also features live musician, Sazi Dlamini. Video artists include Rike Sitas, Dineo Mopape and Storm Janse van Rensburg.
The production consists of six Acts which take place at several spaces at Constitution Hill such as the Great African Steps, Constitutional Square and the Tower and Mandela Courtyards. Patrons are advised to enter through Sam Hancock Drive. There is a certain amount of walking and climbing of stairs. Patrons are advised to dress accordingly. The performance time is 80 minutes, however with moving from space to space the overall time is estimated at 100 minutes.
Tickets R40 at the door or booked at Computicket. Concessions/block bookings and subscription tickets are available.

know, yes. it is -- that is all true, the kinds of information that the intelligence community is probably most after reside largely in a small number of rather large providers, which is you can see reflected in the programs that have existed up to now. >> maybe and maybe not. >> correct. >> thanks, senator rockefeller. senator wyden. >> thank you very much. madam chair. mr. garfield, question with respect to the economic implications of these overly broad nsa surveillance practices, and the way i come to this is the companies that are part of your organization, the technology sector, this is advantage america. this is an area where we consistently lead, we have these cutting edge technologies, got a host of exciting developments, cloud computing is just one of them. these are all areas where we

have a chance in a fragile economy to create good paying, innovation-oriented jobs. my take is that if a foreign enemy was doing the damage to the american economy that some of these overly broad nsa practices are doing, our citizens would be up in arms. i mean people would be up in arms literally from coast to coast. you have highlighted page three of your testimony, the forrester study, i believe or the technology foundation, $35 billion lost to the cloud computing industry is just one part of the technology sector over three years. i talk about the balkanization of the internet. i think it would be very helpful if you would flesh that out. i would assume that what you're touching on is that when countries like europe and brazil

and others are applying various restrictions and opportunities for access to our digital goods and services that this makes it hard for us to have that kind of seamless internet, but flesh out that concept, if you would of the balkanization of the internet because i think it's important for people to really understand the implications of the economic harm being done to the american brand. your companies have gone to great lengths to constantly innovate. by and large, they probably much like to be left alone by government. >> that is an accurate statement. >> be left alone and go innovate. i read about john chambers just here in the last few days. a whole host of technology leaders who are up in arms. flesh out this question of how these overly broad nsa practices have damaged companies that are part of your sector and exactly what do you mean by the balkanization of the internet you feel has taken place? by the way, i feel so strongly

about this that i'm investigating it as chairman of the finance committee because i think this has big implications on the global competitiveness of some of our most important companies. we'll be following it up there, as well. >> thank you, senator wyden, we appreciate that. the two concepts are interrelated. the internet as i mentioned in my testimony, is built on open interoperable global platforms. they are heavily reliant on trust. what we see in a lot of international markets is a move towards creating barriers to that openness, that interopability which we lead to walled gardens that are separated from the broader global internet which is highly prom tick. the benefit of the internet is that it's global and interconnected. the loss of trust, as well, globally, which i mentioned in my oral testimony, is highly

problematic because the reason that we have done, u.s. companies have done so well globally because we innovate, but also is there a trust in what we are innovating and advancing. if you undermine
