It's not a theory anymore

evolution.....parthenogenesis...

Virgin shark birth at Omaha Zoo first in world!! It's the first of it's kind, the virgin birth of a shark. It happened in Omaha at the Henry Doorly Zoo. It took zoologists and geneticists 6 years to figure it out, but they have finally confirmed that a baby shark had no father.The Bonnethead Shark was born in December 2001, and was killed by a stingray the same day. At first, zoologists thought one of three things, the shark had mated before being captured, the shark had mated with another species in the tank, or the shark was the product of a true virgin birth."If you ended up with an all-female population that was on the brink of distinction and then a female produced by virgin birth a male offspring," says zoo director Dr. Lee Simmons. "That offspring could breed with unrelated females and carry on the population."After 6 years of looking at DNA, experts found that the male baby shark was an exact copy of its mother, which would be an even greater discovery for planet Earth.

From 2006....

ART TRIP

Finally! I have been wanting to make an ART TRIP to StormKing and the DIA:Beacon Museum. Both are located in the Hudson River Valley of New York State and when I return Teresa and I are heading to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey. Looks like it will be a great Memorial Day weekend!

For More Info:

Dia Art Foundation was founded in 1974. A nonprofit institution, Dia plays a vital role among visual-arts organizations nationally and internationally by initiating, supporting, presenting, and preserving art projects, and by serving as a locus for interdisciplinary art and criticism. Dia presents its permanent collection at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, in Beacon, New York; exhibitions and public programming at Dia:Chelsea, in New York City; and long-term, site-specific projects in the western United States, and in New York City.

Storm King Art Center is a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature. Five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists. At Storm King, the exhibition space is defined by sky and land. Unencumbered by walls, the subtly created flow of space is punctuated by modern sculpture. The grounds are surrounded by the undulating profiles of the Hudson Highlands, a dramatic panorama integral to the viewing experience. The sculptures are affected by changes in light and weather, so no two visits are the same.

Fireworks tonight

May 4, 2007=First Friday in Downtown Lancaster and opening night of the Lancaster Barnstormers with post game fireworks tonight and tomorrow night! There will be fireworks tonight also celebrating the Carnival at Buchanan Park and it is not even July 4th!!

Don't forget to celebrate Cinco De Mayo and the Kentucky Derby, but I don't think Mint Juleps and Margaritas go together very well.
