Kari on call tonight, so I'm parked at the HQ again once I get home. Big Kahuna is back from Seattle, so I'll be catching her up with pictures from the trip and making her aware of our latest four recoveries. Texas and Indiana have been really taking off.

My semi-monthly blood-sticker saw me on the news the other night. When I got to the center, they pumped me for both platelets and information about the org. I may've won over a convert or two to do volunteering.
World's Ugliest animals. Oh yeah, as long as Monkfish is on there, I'm in agreement.
Note to self - hit the bonnet house soon.

Zoo Keeps Gorillas Kosher for Passover
RAMAT GAN, Israel -- When Passover comes around, even gorillas in Israel keep kosher. In line with many other Israelis busy cleaning their homes to remove bread-related products for the Passover holiday that begins Saturday night, the Safari Park Zoo near Tel Aviv does the same.
Since the zookeepers and handlers cannot touch any leavened products during the weeklong holiday that marks the biblical Jewish exodus from Egypt, the gorillas and other animals are also fed matzo - the unleavened cracker Jews eat to remember that in their rush to flee slavery, the ancient Israelites' bread did not have time to rise.
Accustomed to eating a slice of bread with cream cheese every morning, beginning Tuesday the gorillas and other animals at the safari were fed matzo instead, said Emelia Turkel, the zoo's curator.
"This turns out to be an interesting time for the gorillas and for the other animals because they get a bit of a change in diet," Turkel said. "We call this environmental enrichment, Jewish style."
The zoo has always fed the animals matzo during the Passover holiday, Turkel said, but try to limit their intake to just one or two crackers a day to prevent them from suffering from the most common side-effect of matzo - constipation.
"If they eat too much it does cause stomach problems, so we hope that our public this week will not be feeding their own matzo to the animals," Turkel said.
Watching the zookeepers throw matzos to the excited gorillas - romping in the grassy area after the crackers - visitors to the safari laughed and joked about the holiday tradition.
"I think it's a good idea for them. They're influenced by the Jews here," said Moshe, a visitor to the safari who gave only his first name.

Date: 2005-04-21 01:42 pm (UTC)Your Life Path Number Is 11
11
Your life path is greatly associated with spiritual awareness.
As one of the two master numbers, the 11 yields understanding and knowledge beyond the grasp of others.
The attitude toward life of those possessing this Life Path is somewhat extreme; extremely intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, visionary, and cultured.
These extremes make you an interesting, if unusual person, with much to offer society.
The Life Path 11 person is deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets.
Your inventive mind and broad-minded views will permit you to succeed in life in any number of ventures.
You can best serve society, however, in those endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance.
Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature.
You expect a great deal of yourself and of those to whom you are close.
On the negative side, there is a lot of nervous tension associated with the 11 life path, and you can be a difficult person to deal with because of this.
For this reason, relationships, at times, can be difficult.
This is a Life Path that seems to feature broad mood swings between the elation and depression.
You are likely to have trouble making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak.
There is a tendency for the 11 to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life.
Your grandiose schemes usually make sense, but you can get off the track and they can be very impractical.
You have a very distinct side that lacks common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
In this regard, you are perhaps more of a dreamer than a doer.
When you do get on target, your ideas seem to have been inspired on high.
Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.
What Is Your Life Path Number?

Date: 2005-04-21 03:07 pm (UTC)The media is finally stepping up it's coverage of this stuff...I'm seeing at least one special (even if short) on the child molestation problem at least once per week now...and constant reports of missing children. Last night saw one where Florida was mentioned...and then numbers of how many offenders are "missing" nationwide. Like you said..no one knows where they moved to.
