clipper's remarks: Here is the video of the elephant Hong painting himself..should say painting a picture of himself and a flower..there is a limited print of this available for $175 used for bananas, sugarcane, and more painting instructions! Well worth the money..a Fair Trade company with reputable partners in conservation, etc.

Elephants can paint!

clipper's remarks: these animals are truly amazing, and this is a great website to learn about how really incredible they are and how we need to take care of them. StumbleUpon videos has an eight minute video of one of these elephants painting a self portrait that is absolutely heart stopping.

Asian Elephant

There are a select group of elephants who have artistic talent and are easily engaged in painting. The Mahouts and owners of the Conservation camps get a good indicator when elephants are not interested in painting - as they eat their paint brush and other things. Elephants who are not interested in painting - don't paint. The elephant art that we represent is done by talented elephants who are well cared for. The elephants seem pleased with the applause of the audience and of course the bundles of sugarcane and bananas after the paintings are completed. The painting process actually provides needed stimulation for the elephants.

clipper's remarks: How much does it cost to maintain this website? I couldn't even clip it..you have to go to dollarama.com to really see a completely useless website..gotta wonder.

Clip Source: ca.answers.yahoo.com

The Dollarama website does not give any information as to store locations or contact info. It really is a useless site. www.dollarama.com
The phone book only lists 2 stores but there are at least 8 stores within the phone books covered area. I would like to know where more stores are within 50 miles of Niagara Falls. I have found the following stores:
2 St. Catharines
2 Niagara Falls
2 Welland
1 Port Colborne
1 Fort Erie
Thanks.

Results: Brain Food: How Much Do You Know?

Which fats may pump up your brain's gray matter?

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fatty fish (like salmon and sardines), appear to have many health benefits. New research shows they may even build the brain's gray matter. In one study, healthy adults who ate the most omega-3 fatty acids had the most gray matter in three brain areas that regulate mood. How do omega-3 fatty acids help the brain? Scientists are still studying the connection. But they do know this: The omega-3 fatty acid DHA, is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid found in the brain, and is important for brain development and function.

clipper's remarks: God forbid you should get a small tusked one..

Clip Source: www.safaribwana.com

The shooting part of the hunt is fairly quick, usually a brain shot is recommended at close quarters with heavy grain solids from a large bore caliber. When facing the Elephant a frontal brain shot is aimed at the third or fourth wrinkle below the center of the eyes. With a side shot, aim for the area between the eye and the ear hole or directly in front of the ear hole where the hairy knob juts out. A heart shot is a better bet when it is difficult to get in close to the elephant, placed lower down, directly behind the shoulder.

hunting tips - the hunt
Elephant hunting is done mostly on foot by following promising fresh spoor until the animal is sighted. It is then determined if the tusks are of satisfactory trophy size. Usually this type of hunting involves hours of walking only to be disappointed by a large bodied small tusked bull.

clipper's remarks: This guy is amazing..I downloaded the free ebook.

Clip Source: www.wmitchell.com

The title of W Mitchell's latest book is also his philosophy on life -- "It's not what happens to you...it's what you do about it." This expert on taking responsibility for change shows his audiences not only how to gain perspective, but how to cope, and even better, to prosper with personal and professional change.

W Mitchell knows about challenge, change and courage -- all first hand. He speaks to you about the battles and the victories of life. From co-founding a metal casting company that put thousands to work, from his election as mayor and congressional nominee, from a fiery motorcycle accident that left him burned over 65% of his body, and from the airplane crash that took away his ability to walk, Mitchell now soars above the rest with grace, good humor and gumption.

"Before I was paralyzed there were 10,000 things I could do; now there are 9,000. I can either dwell on the 1,000 I've lost or focus on the 9,000 I have left."

Byron Katie

Author, speaker and spiritual teacher Byron Katie, known to most as Katie, was a mother and real estate broker in the 1980s who found herself spiraling into a severe depression. In 1986, after nearly a decade of struggling with depression, alcoholism, suicidal thoughts and eating disorders, Katie checked herself into a halfway house and rehabilitation center for women. It was there that Katie had an awakening and became filled with happiness, clarity and calmness that changed her life forever. She says she realized the cause of her intense suffering and depression "was not the world around her, but the beliefs she'd had about the world."

Soon, Katie started to share her realization with others and developed a process of self-inquiry called, "The Work." Through The Work—which includes answering and evaluating four key questions—Katie helps people transform their lives and end their suffering by changing their thoughts about themselves and the world around them.

question of social conflict

The Question of Social Conflict

What would happen if you took 100,000 people from all over the world of vastly different races, creeds, colors, socio-economic strata, and speaking dozens of different languages - everything from women in complete burqa to openly gay men to dyed-in-the-wool Southern boys to uptight New Englanders and Orthodox Jews - then put them in a rigidly controlled, confined space in 100 degree heat with 100% humidity and made them stand around? Sounds like a recipe for complete chaos, right? Nope - it's Disneyland - well, more specifically, Disney World.

My question is this - how is it that we have so much conflict in the world and, yet, in what should be a crucible for social conflict and anarchy, people are not only pleasant, but kind, generous, helpful, deferential and just plain well-mannered? Talk about a lesson in psycho-social anthropology. Even more, talk about an illustration of ego, and the illusion of politico-social conflict driven by that ego.
