52 for 150: What’s So Special About Your Library’s Hirschberg African Art Collection?

Posted on 07 November 2011. Tags: About, African, Collection, Hirschberg, Library's, special, What's

As Black History Month comes to a close, we’re taking a closer look at our Hirschberg African art collection for week nine of our Kansas sesquicentennial series. Dr. Cotter Hirschberg was director of training and child psychiatry as well as the first dean of the Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas. From 1969 to 1975, Cotter Hirschberg served on the Library’s Board of Directors. Both he and his wife Jeanne, according to former library director, Jim Marvin, were a “library dynamo”. Both served on the Library’s Board of Trustees, and together advanced the library’s services and collections, including donating this significant collection of West African art.

EVILS are often powerful but they will have bad end at LAST – I am pointing about Americans and their friends?

Posted on 21 August 2011. Tags: About, Americans, EVILS, friends, Last, often, pointing, powerful, their, they

But before continuing I don’t want to point all Americans or all their friends in UK, FRANCE etc..,

I know there are still good number of people living there, may be thats the reason – they are living – else God would have killed all of them

Americans think that they can rename anyone (good people) who fights for good and can rule this world, yes I agree they are POWERFUL but you people must know the fact, Evil is always powerful and you also know the fact, their is bad end for every bad evil, don’t you…?

Every child know about Satans and good humans but difficult part is that, its confusing, because Satans is wearing human mask and thats the difficult part

So you must know that, that doesn’t mean there is no end to Satan

Yes ofcourse EVIL is going to Die one day – thats confirmed

No country – No land is bad on this world – whether it is American or Africa or any, but we must eradicate bad people (satans) from that Land and use it
US, UK FRANCE OR any country is not their property – its created by God for good people – we must wipe those evils from this world and we must rule this world for Good

Don’t you agree with my plans…?

Do you ever fight over his stuff and your stuff- moving and fighting about what to trash?

Posted on 18 May 2011. Tags: About, ever, fight, fighting, moving, over, stuff, trash

OK- here how it started. I went through my bookshelf and got rid of anything extra I didn’t need. I actually brought the books to work and gave them away. I ask my husband to go through his books- he refuses. We have a giant fight and I end up doing it for him and he throws a fit. He has books that are damaged, stained and disgusting… and he has all these books on religions and spiritual stuff- HE HATES religion and never goes to any type of church. So why keep them? This leads into a fight about these terrible african mask he has…. they were made in china and they are ugly. They have been sitting in the crawl space for 3 years and he goes banana’s when I ask if he is ready to part with them. He starts freaking out that everything is my stuff and I toss all of his. I toss a lot of mine but I owned a house and he only had an apartment when we met. He then started going on about how I tossed out his shelves- which were falling apart and in really bad shape. I even painted them and tried to reuse them but they fell apart. He then started comparing a lamp that I tossed that he paid $10 from Kmart that was damanged to my 100 year old $2,000 lamps that I replaced them with. I’ll let him buy anything he wants for the house- he picked out the living room rug… but that doesn’t count. He is obessed with holding on to trash from his single life. How do I deal with this? We are moving to a house 1/2 the size and my reasoning is- keep the $$$$$ get rid of the stuff from kmart, walmart and hand me downs. We don’t have room for all this junk- and I agreed to keep all his childhood toys and useless glass jugs that use to hold beer. He actually tried to compare my antique teacup collection to jugs that he got for free that use to hold beer in them.

He told me to sell the mask on ebay but flipped out again when I told him they were on there for like 99 cents- and I don’t think that his mask are from Africa- they are china rip offs. He starts flipping out- and I ask if he paid a lot of money for them- and he only paid a few bucks!
But then tells me I am expert on everything!!!!
What the HELL is his problem?

PS- I tossed (to give to goodwill) books out that were in langagues that neither of us speak!!!
He knows we can’t afford storage and just starts bitching.
Here is an example- I have a set of brand new dishes- his set is broken and mismatched. Which do you keep? It’s a no brainer for me but he keeps flipping out?
I have fine china for my hutch- I won’t put regular plates in there. I would never eat off of mismatch plates. TACKY!
I am getting rid of a lot of my stuff as well- but it’s worth $$$ so I have been selling it on ebay.

Slipknot fans, how do you feel about…..?

Posted on 03 May 2011. Tags: About, fans, feel, Slipknot

….Slipknot’s music (Disasterpiece) being blamed for a school-boy killing in South Africa where a student wearing a mask similar to the ones Slipknot members wear took 3 swords to school and used one to kill another student by slitting his throat?

I think it’s silly to try and blame it on the music.

What Must Know About Home Storage Of Beloved Wines And Spirits

]]>

Many people hurtle through their lives at warp speed, only to come to its end wondering what it is all about. A few fortunate ones have learned that the art of quietly savoring life makes it seem like they have lived a thousand years when it is time for them to leave this earth.

If you’re one of those lucky ones, you probably have at home a cellar, or at least iron wall wine racks to hold your hoard of Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Merlot, or Chablis. Yes, wine, because wine never fails to warm the heart, making it very difficult for one to be sad or morose with it around. Some people show preference for a Gallo, others like a Robert Mondavi. Still others would proclaim that Australian wines are the best, while still others would say that wines from South African, Chile, or France are the best around. Specific preferences may vary widely, but the means of storing wine at home stay the same and are universal.

Not All Wines Should Be Kept.

How long a wine should be stored depends on the type. Many wines are of the kind that does not keep well for a long time, while others can be kept for twenty, sometimes 30 years. Generally speaking, inexpensive wine would not benefit from long storage. Neither will types of wine that comes packaged in a bottle that is made from any material other than glass.

Other wines of this type include Gallo, Hardy’s, and Jacobs Creek, as well as French wines marked “Nouveau” and “Vin du pays” the German QBA, and all other wines labeled “table wine.”

Keep Only Wines That Have the Potential to Improve Over Time.

While your favorite wine wall decor or wine decor will keep forever, you should seek advice on how long your favorite wine keeps. As a rough guide, here’s how long the popular ones may be stored:
Zinfandel 2-7 years
Shiraz 2-15 years
Pinot Noir 2-10 years
Cabernet Sauvignon 2-20 years
Merlot 2-10 years
Chardonnay 2-6 years
Sauvignon blanc 2-4 years
Chenin blanc 2-30 years

Temperature

Place your wine racks where the temperature does not fluctuate wildly – anywhere between nine and fifteen degrees Celsius, with eleven the ideal.

Humidity

About 70% is ideal; any lower and the cork sometimes will dry out, which allows oxygen to get in and turns your wine to vinegar. Allowing humidity to drop too much, while not harming your wine, will cause the labels to rot, making it impossible for you to know which are prized labels and which are not, a prospect too horrible to contemplate.

Light

If it gets warmer than 25 degrees Celsius, your wine will be rendered unfit for even cooking, let alone to be enjoyed off the wine glass, so keep your treasure trove away from sunlight or any other artificial light.

Vibration

Wine is best stored in a vibration-free surrounding, so place your iron wall wine racks in a basement room.

FACTS ABOUT UGANDA PRIMATES

Edit Article |

Posted: Aug 13, 2009 |Comments: 0

Uganda has got different species of primates of which include monkeys, baboons and many others.

All monkeys in Uganda are members of the family Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). They fall into five genera: Collogues (closely related to the leaf eating monkeys of Asia), Cercopithecus (guenons), Papio (baboons), Erythrocebus (patas) and Cerocebus (Mangabeys). Some of these monkeys are nocturnal while others are diurnal. Important species in Uganda include; Vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) De Brazza’s monkey (cercopithecus neglectus) Blue monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) I’hoesti monkey (cercopithecus I’hoesti) Red-tailed monkey (cercopithecus ascinius) Red colobus (piliocolobus badius) Black-and-white colobus (colobus guereza) Patas monkey (erythrocebus patas).

In Uganda monkeys live in different habitats which include both tropical rain forests and savanna grasslands. However they are commonly found in Forests such as Kibale topical moist forest, Bwindi Impenetrable forest, Mabira forest, Buvuma forests, Kaniyo Pabidi forest, Budongo forest, Bugoma forest among others. In general monkeys are well exceptionally represented in Uganda as a safari destination. The Kibaale tropical forest boasts the greatest primate diversity in the whole of East Africa.

Baboons

Scientifically these primates are called Papio specie. Baboons are widely spread and very common in Uganda. Though common in most parts of the country the olive baboon (Papiocynocephalus Anubis) is the only type found in Uganda. The baboons in Uganda commonly interact with people. They live in forest reserves such as Busitema, and can be found along the roadsides. Baboons are larger in size (14 to 30 inches at the shoulder) with a dog-like head. Their weight varies between 50 to 100 pounds. Males move frequently in large troops in search for social dominance. They live in individual groups which may even be a large as 50 individuals. Baboons spend their day eating, socializing, playing, and traveling. They are omnivores feeding on both plant materials and meat from small mammals as well as fish.

Patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas)

This is another terrestrial primate restricted to the dry savanna of north-central Africa. The patas can be confused with the velvet monkey, but the only differentiating feature is that it has a lankier build, a light reddish-brown coat, and a black stripe above the eyes (the velvet is greyer and has a black mask). In Uganda, the patas monkey is restricted to the extreme north, where it can be seen in Kidepo and Murchison falls national parks, as well as the Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve. It is also known as the hussar monkey. The race found in Uganda is the Nile patas or nisras (E. p. pyrhonotus)

Vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops)

This light-grey guenon is readily identified by its black face and the male’s distinctive blue genitals. Associated with a wide variety of habitats, it is the only guenon you are likely to see outside of the forests and it is thought to be the most numerous monkey species in the world. The velvet monkey is also known as the green, tantalus, savanna and grivet monkey. More than 20 races are recognized and some authorities group these races into four distinct species. At least four races are found in Uganda; the black faced velvet (C. a. centralis), Naivasha velvet (C. a. callidus), Jebel Mara tantalus (C. a. marrensis) monkeys are wide spread and common in Uganda, even outside of the national parks, but they are absent from forest interiors and Afro-alpine habitats.

Blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis)

The blue monkey is the most widespread forest guenon in East Africa-uniform dark blue-grey in co lour except for its white throat and chest patch, with thick fur and backward-projecting hair on its forehead. The blue monkey is common in most Ugandan forests, where it lives in troops of between four and twelve animals and frequently associates with other primates. It is also known as the diademed guenon, samango monkey, Sykes’s monkey, gentle monkey and white throated guenon (the last regarded as a separate species by some authorities). Over 20 races are identified of which three are found in Uganda, including the striking and very localized golden monkey, which is more-or-less restricted to bamboo forests in the Virunga Mountains. Blue monkeys occur in all but two of Uganda’s national parks (Murchison falls and Lake Mburo being the exceptions) and in practically every other forest in the country.

Red tailed monkey (Cercopithecus ascinius)

Another widespread forest guenon, the red tailed monkey is brownish in appearance with white cheek whiskers, a coppery tail and a distinctive white, heart shaped patch on its nose, giving rise to its more descriptive alternative name of black-cheeked white nosed monkey. It is normally seen singly in pairs or in small family groups, but it also associates with other monkeys and has been known to accumulate in groups of up to 200. The race found in Uganda is C. a. Schmidt. Red tailed and blue monkeys regularly interbreed in Kibale forest national park. Red tailed monkey occur in kibale forest, Bwindi, Semliki, and queen Elizabeth national parks as well as Budongo, Mpanga and several other forest reserves.

De Brazza’s monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus)

This spectacular forest guenon has a relatively short tail, a hairy face with a reddish-brown patch around its eyes, a white band across its bow and a distinctive white moustache and beard. Primarily a West African species, De Brazza’s monkey is very localized in East Africa, most likely to be seen in the vicinity of Mount Elgon and Semliki national parks.

L’Hoest’s Monkey (Cercopithecus lhoesti)

This handsome guenon is less well known and more difficult to see than most relatives, largely because of its preference for dense secondary forest and its terrestrial habits. It has a black face and back ward-projecting white whiskers that partially cover its ears, and is the only guenon which habitually carries its tail in an upright position. In Uganda, L’Hoest monkey is most likely to be seen in Kibale forest, Bwindi or Maramagambo forest in Queen Elizabeth National park.

Grey-cheeked mangabey (Cercocebus algigena)

This greyish-black monkey has few distinguishing features. It has baboon-like mannerisms, a shaggier appearance than any guenon, light-grey cheeks and a slight mane. Grey-cheeked Mangabeys live in lowland and mid-altitude forests. In Uganda, they are common, as well as in Semliki National Park. The race found in Uganda is also known as Johnston’s mangabey (C. a. Johnston).

Black-and-white colobus monkey (Colobus guereza)

This beautiful marked and distinctive monkey has a black body, white facial markings, long white tail and, in some races, a white side-stripe. It lives in small groups and is almost exclusively arboreal. An adult is capable of jumping up to 30m, a spectacular sight with its white tail streaming behind. This is probably the most common and widespread forest monkey in Uganda, occurring in most sizeable forest patches and even in well developed riparian woodland. The Rwenzori race of the closely related Angola colobus (colobus angolensis) occurs alongside the black-and-white colobus in forested parts of the Rwenzori National park.

Red Colobus monkey (Piliocolobus badius)

This relatively large red-grey monkey has few distinguishing features other than its slightly tufted crown. It is highly sociable and normally lives in scattered troops of 50 or more animals. About 15 races of red colobus are recognized by some authorities to be distinct species. In Uganda, Red colobus monkeys are largely restricted to Kibale Forest National park and environments, where they are especially common in the Bigodi wetland sanctuary, though they do also occur in small numbers in Semliki National Parks.

Bus Babies

Bush babies or galagos (Galago senegalensisa) form one of the primate species of small attractive arboreal primates native to sub-Saharan Africa. They are gray, brown, or reddish to yellowish brown, with large eyes and ears, long hind legs, soft, woolly fur, and long tails. Bush babies are also characterized by the long upper portion of the feet (tarsus) and by the ability to fold their ears. They are nocturnal primate species. They feed mostly on fruits, insects, and even small birds, but a major component of the diet of most species is gum (tree exudates). In Uganda there are five bush baby species with the lesser bush baby as the most common in all Uganda’s Savannah reserves. In Kibale and Bwindi forests species identified are; the eastern needled-clawed bush baby, Thomas bush baby and the Dwarf bush baby, they also appear in Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Parks. A guided night walk in Kibale Forest can enable you seeing these rare primates which are characterized by large sparkling eyes which does not much with their cry.

Pottos

Scientifically these primates are also referred to as Perodicticus potto. The word “potto” originates from an African word “Pata” meaning a tailless ape. Like Bush babies they have nocturnal habits (i.e. most active at night). During the day pottos sleep in the leaves of trees and almost never descend from trees. They are slow moving and always carefully grip on tree branches. In Uganda, pottos can best be seen in Kibale forest during night guided walks. Other areas where these primates have been recorded include Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth National park.

When racism masks racism, should you be worried about future Presidential elections?

Posted on 28 January 2011. Tags: About, elections, future, masks, Presidential, racism, should, worried

Obama supporters will throw that word around at ANY disagreement with Obama. I stated that the Global Poverty Act bill that Obama sponsors to give 845 billion dollars to poversed nations, which we all know is mainly the countries in Africa, and we have poverty here we NEVER have been able to fix. Then they call me a racist and a bigot for KNOWING this won’t help the US, and for KNOWING the money will end up in a lot of warlords pockets to supply weapons. This is racism covering up their own racism. Is this the future of voting in America when a African American runs for President? I’m all for it, just a well qualified one is all I ask.
