Teressa Groenewald-Hagerman poses over magnificent elephant she downed with
2009-05-16 01:08:00 Smiling proudly over her vanquished "prey," the huntress displays a nonhuman animal murderer's typical delight in her cowardly act....By Alex Millson5/7/09Simulposted with UK Daily Mail OnlineA woman hunter clutches a bow and grins as she poses next to the body of an elephant she has killed with a single arrow.In a scene that will sicken animal lovers and anti-hunting groups, proud Teressa Groenewald-Hagerman stands over her kill after becoming the first woman to kill an elephant in such a manner.The 39-year-old, from Overland Park, Kansas in the U.S. travelled to troubled Zimbabwe where she could hunt the creature legally.She shot the creature then left it to die overnight before plucking up the courage to approach the carcasse.After creeping up on the herd she drew back the bow and fired the arrow into her target - from just 12 yards away.The injured creature staggered 500 yards,leaving a bloody trail, before crashing to the ground.The sick image of her so-called 'achievement' ...

Best Book for Women Entrepreneurs: Birthing the Elephant: The Woman's Go-fo

Guide to Overcoming the Big Challenges of Launching a Business (2008) did not prepare me for the influence it would have in my life.Finally! Someone wrote a business book with guts! Finally someone had the courage to say out loud "Launching your own business will take its toll on your bank account, your self esteem, and your family." They didn't gloss over the mistakes people make in business as if it is expected and so trivial that the mistakes only merit a few paragraphs.The authors of this little book, Karin Abarbanel and Bruce Freeman, seem to have been following me around in my head for the last three years while I helped my husband launch and stabilize his business and explored and launched my own. They described the ups and downs of business as stages. Hearing that they were stages was comforting to me – that means that...

Forgetting The "One-Party Elephant"
2008-10-27 19:28:00 I?m sure you?ve heard by now, along with me, what is destined to be one of the final, dying gasps of the Palin-McBush campaign as they approach what should be electoral obliteration in about a week (though I?m not assuming anything, I hasten to add). And that is the cry to ?beware of one-party rule,? or words to that effect (echoed by, among other people, Kevin Ferris yesterday in the Inquirer, and Jonathan Martin here).And as long as I?ve brought up Ferris? weekly literary exercise in freeper fiction, please allow me to highlight the following mess in particular??(Joe Biden)?went out of his way Sunday to scare voters, saying an international crisis is inevitable solely as a test to an inexperienced President Obama. Worse, and oddly enough, Biden also suggested that Obama wouldn't handle the issue well.Give me a break; here is the exact quote from Biden (as Obama said, maybe it was a bit of a flourish in elocution, but Biden?s fundamental point is correct)?"Mark my words.

Babar, the Possibly Sinister Disappearing French Elephant
2008-09-15 22:02:00 I was about to check my email on Yahoo just now, and I saw an article about the biggest box office bombs in history. So I had to look at that. Just like he does in most of his movies, Eddie Murphy plays more than one part in this list, appearing in both Meet Dave and The Adventures of Pluto Nash, which had the biggest budget vs. box office intake deficit of them all. But the lowest-grossing movie ever is Zyzzx Road, starring Katherine Heigl and Tom Sizemore. It cost 2 million to make and did a grand total thirty bucks in theaters. Or, the one theater it played in. Thirty bucks. No wonder Sizemore's a crackhead. Anyway, after that I spent three minutes trying to explain to a co-worker who Katherine Heigl was, and another ten minutes trying to remember who I always confuse her with. The other one was in Knocked Up, right? No, that was Katherine Heigl. Oh, so the the other one was in that movie where the French guy that looks like Anton Chigurh is her dad. No, that's Katherine Heigl...

Little Ricky The Elephant Poops On The ?Schvartze?
2008-06-19 13:58:00 The Philadelphia Inquirer continues to give column space to this propagandist, with predictable results (here)?The day after securing the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama addressed the preeminent pro-Israel group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). This mostly Jewish organization, which is largely liberal and Democratic, would seem to be the perfect pushover crowd to launch his fall campaign.This is gross hypocrisy even for Santorum; AIPAC is ?largely liberal and Democratic,? huh? Then how come, according to SourceWatch here?"In 2002, the pro-Israel lobby successfully targeted African-American representatives Earl Hilliard (D-AL) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) for defeat in Democratic primaries. Hilliard and McKinney were both vulnerable for reasons unrelated to Israel. McKinney, for instance, was defeated in part because the open primary allowed Republicans angered over her comments about the September 11 attacks to cross over and vote against her in...

The Bull Elephant
2008-06-06 16:42:00 In 1986, Dan Harrison was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Dan approached it very carefully.He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Dan worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Dan stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Dan never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked ov...

Same Old Santorum: A response to the Elephant in the Room
2008-05-31 03:29:00 by Mel Seesholtz Ph.D. Rick Santorum’s extremist views and abrasive rhetoric were the reasons Pennsylvania voters overwhelmingly booting him out of office in the largest margin of defeat for an incumbent senator since 1980. It seems he didn’t learn anything from the experience. On May 22, 2008 Santorum’s biweekly “Elephant in the Room” column appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer bearing the title “A wake-up call on gay marriage after '03 alarm went unheeded.” It’s pure Santorum: fear-monger, self-aggrandizing, misleading, illogical. The first paragraph set the tone. Those were just a few of the terms hurled my way in 2003 when I said that the Supreme Court's Texas sodomy decision opened the door to the redefinition of marriage. When I wasn’t ducking the epithets, I was being laughed at, mocked, and given the crazy-uncle-at-the-holidays treatment by the media. Or I was being told I should resign from my leadership post by some Senate colleagues. Wrong, Mr. Santoru...

Never get between an elephant and water
2008-05-29 13:27:00 I just read Paul Theroux’s The Elephanta Suite, three novellas about Americans in India. Aside from a few easy reversals, abrupt transformations, and a sag in the middle, I admired it, especially the ways in which the author links his stories together. For instance,in the first story, the myth of Vishnu and his eagle Garuda is told by one character, full of grief and guilt at accidentally placing his friend Sanjeev in harm’s way—the harm being a herd of charging elephants. “As Vishnu and Garuda entered the House of the Gods they saw a small bird at the gateway. The Lord of Death also entered, and he smiled at the little bird. Garuda was so shocked at this he seized the little bird in his beak and took him fifty kilometres away, to save him from the Lord of Death…When ultimately they left the House of the Gods, Vishnu said, ‘Where is the little bird?’ …Before Garuda could reply, Lord of Death said, ‘I smiled to see little bird here, because he was supposed to be fif...

Ghatothkach?s best friend in the film happens to be an elephant called Gajj
2008-05-22 14:50:00 If you thought that only men can become Brand Ambassador, then, we are sure that Ganpati, the Elephant God will punish you. The reason is that its not only humans (read ?celebs’) who are encashing on the Brand Ambassador b(r)andwagon, but also animals. Pioneering the trend is the elephant star Ghatothkach.Through this film, the PETA officials said that they wanted to spread the message that elephants belong to the free world and that they do not belong to the zoo or circus. They also rechristened the elephant as ?Ele-Friends’.Speaking to Sachin Bangera, the Campaign co-ordinator- PETA, said, ?Ghatothkach’s best friend in the film happens to be an elephant called Gajju who lives in a free environment, something that we also preach. This will only make people to stand up and take notice of the elephant’s natural habitat. Overall, the film will definitely convey a strong message to the viewers.?What more can we say except for the fact that now John Abraham, Shi...
Fly like an elephant & rediscover your best friend
2008-05-21 08:26:00 Analysis of the week on dream submitted by A.F. in the Midwestern USA.Dream- Our "pet" elephant, wrapped in a stretchy, dark-red blanket, was being lowered gently out the upper story window of our house. As the blanket stretched, he did a "fall" to the ground below. After he landed, the blanket fell away. He sat, uninjured, but disoriented, and looked around. Then, a female was throwing my sweet Posie(female dog) at her best friend Sammie (my male dog). I'm very protective of them, and I was chasing her away and yelling at her to NEVER come near my dogs or my home again!Predomiant Emotions- cautious, surprise, confused, imabalance, and expectations.Interpretation- People create an image of what you are. You sense this has nothing to do with your inner reality and hope to protect your true self. Yet, if you agree with people, then their views stretch or warp your self-view, and jostle your groundedness. To- fe...
