While they are also semiaquatic herbivores, muskrats weigh less than fi ve pounds, much smaller than nutria, which, like groundhogs, His Shadow This Year? can weigh around 12-15 pounds or more. Groundhogs, marmots, muskrats, By Frederick Boyce beavers and nutria (coypu) are all rodents, belonging to the huge order Rodentia, which contains nearly half the mammal species on earth. Rodents February is known mostly for being cold and short, and cold, but it is are distinguished by their prominent incisor teeth, which grow continuously also famous for presidential birthdays and Groundhog Day.

North Carolina is actually the southernmost state According to history.com, it was actually the hedgehog that was fi rst used to in the range of the groundhog, where historically they have been confi ned to the predict the weather in Europe, and German settlers in Pennsylvania adapted the mountains and northern Piedmont. In recent years their range has been steadily tradition to groundhogs. Th e main problem with using nutria for this purpose expanding eastward and southward, reaching the Coastal Plain in the Albemarle is that, being native to the tropics, they don’t hibernate—so what it means when peninsula and above. For the time being, groundhogs remain absent from the or if one sees its shadow is anybody’s guess. It likely has little to do with winter, southeastern portion of the state, so this February we might consider a vaguely though. Perhaps they can predict hurricanes? similar-looking animal that is more at home in our own watery coastal environs. Frederick Boyce is the staff herpetologist at the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Unlike the groundhog, the nutria, Myocaster coypus, is not actually native Sources: North Carolina Wildlife Profiles, ncwildlife.org, nutria.com to North America but was imported to fur farms in Louisiana in the 1930s, primarily as an alternative to increasingly scarce beaver pelts. As so oft en occurs, a number of the animals either escaped or were released into the Louisiana swamp lands, where they fl ourished in the lush aquatic habitats. Since then their range has gradually expanded as they have been intentionally transplanted into wetlands for aquatic weed control and further dispersed by hurricanes. Nutria were introduced to Hatteras Island in 1941 and invaded the Currituck Sound from the north aft er being released in southeastern Virginia. Th eir range has steadily increased toward the south ever since, and they can occasionally be seen in the swamps and marshes here on Bogue Banks. Highly prolifi c, nutria reach sexual maturity within nine months, and females can produce almost three litters per year, with as many as 13 babies in a large litter. Th e babies are very precocious, being born fully furred with their eyes open, and they begin feeding on vegetation within hours of being born. Th ey also nurse, and the mother nutria has four pairs of mammary glands located along her sides, rather than on the belly, so that the babies can nurse while she is fl oating in the water. I recall fi rst seeing a nutria long years ago at the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston- Salem. Along the side-show section of the midway, somewhere between the “World’s Largest Alligator” and the man with four noses and six eyes was a Adult nutria (coypu) with young—Rjqvq"d{"Uco"Dncpf façade covered in lurid paintings advertising the “Giant Rat.” For a quarter, one was admitted to a narrow trailer with a mesh-topped enclosure that housed a single disinterested nutria. Th e nutria has a round, nearly hairless tail similar to a rat’s, and while it was once the sole member of the family Myocastoridae, the nutria has recently been reassigned to the Echimydae, the family of spiny rats—so in a way, it really is a giant rat. Its genus name, Myocastor, means “mouse beaver.” Beavers, which can weigh 70 pounds or more, are much larger than nutria and The Pine Knoll Shores Radio Station broadcasts 24 hours a day are further distinguished by their broad, fl at tails.

  • Go Contex Go Savichv1.Pdf
    Advance Praise for Go, Contex, Go! Vlad Savich’s stories seem to be a reaction to encounters in early life—some real, some perceived, some imagined—with the forces of limitation: parental, political, religious and cultural. And so, he fights, against unfairness, injustice, and unkindness... but above all, against boredom. When he is strident, Savich thrills. When he is ironic, he delights. His prose style is filtered through Russian, Ukrainian, and Canadian French, resulting in a pungent, inimitable and almost unplaceable accent. It is our good fortune that he is so prolific; this is exciting, entertaining writing we are better off for having more of. Call him the rock-and-roll New Realist Turgenev of Kiev, or the tragicomic punk Chekhov of Montreal. Whatever you call him, read him (and ignore the OTHER Vlad altogether).

Spring was running through the streets and alleys of a large old city. Waiting for aventures incroyables, it stirred up my 17-year-old soul that lived for the sensation of big events. Everything was betokening a miracle: the wind rushing into the classroom, trees just about to explode into sticky young leaves, and the immature April moon dropping into my romantic dreams with its calligraphically written “C.” An unknown, mysterious world lifted its veil in them.

  • Monologues for Girls
    1 MONOLOGUES FOR GIRLS One Sunday Afternoon by James Hagan [This lovely, if somewhat sentimental play, written in 1930, is about young love in a small Midwestern town. Amy, a romantic young girl, has a crush on the town bully and she's describing it to her friend Virginia.] AMY I don't know. Maybe it was love, I don't know, but— Well, when I was very young— of course, that's a long time ago, you understand. It was in school. There was this boy. I don't know‐‐he never looked at me and I never...Virginia, did you ever have a feeling in your heart‐‐Something that you feel is going to happen and it doesn't— that's the way my heart was— (she touches her heart) It wasn't love, I know that— (pause) He never even noticed me. I could have been a stick in the mud as far as he was concerned. Virginia, this boy always seemed lonely somehow. Everybody had it in for him, even the teachers—they called him bully—but I know he wasn't. I saw him do a lot of good things—when the big boys picked on the smaller ones, he helped the little fellows out. I know he had a lot of good in him—good, that nobody else could see—that's why my heart longs for him. Little Women based on the Novel by Luisa May Alcott adapted for the stage by Lorraine Cohen [The story of the trials and tribulations of the March family.

  • Anthony Lopez
    CUSTOMIZED SHOES: A HIP-HOP STAPLE AND A REBELLIOUS FASHION ANTHONY LOPEZ COMMENTARY: AMIT BARIA RESPONSE: ANTHONY LOPEZ In our society today, pursuits to conform or adjust to the ever-altering trends that dictate the fashion landscape are priorities for any fashion or pop-culture connoisseur. For better or for worse, the fate of consumer America is predicated on the domineering shadow of adolescent acquisition, and even more on producers capitalizing off the individuality that consumers hope to achieve. In hip-hop culture, where lavishness and extreme excess is a requirement at times, designer and name-brand fashions have found a niche in the urban ethos catalog. Throughout its rich and relatively young history, hip-hop’s standard dress has undergone many modifications. However, one of the most essential and enduring hip-hop staples has been footwear. According to Rebecca Arnold’s Fashion, Desire and Anxiety: Image and Morality in the Twentieth Century, the cultures of feet and fashion have been negotiating for years, footwear first appearing as a necessary accessory during the 1980s when groups like Run-DMC made songs such as “My Adidas” to promote their undying love for “kicks” (Arnold 40). Fast-forward to 2002, and the marriage between shoes and hip-hop is still very much evident. Popular brands such as Nike, Reebok, and the ubiquitous Jordan brand are some of the most widely consumed and hip-hop endorsed products on the market. However, as of last year, a new phenomenon has taken the urban shoe market by storm, and reinvented the image of what it means to be “ghetto fabulous.” The phenomenon we are speaking of, my friends, is the personalized shoe.
