Omiya (Kama Sutra) - Who Sings It?

Who's the singer in "Omiya" on the Kama Sutra soundtrack? And if I like (love!) that song, what other similar music might you recommend?

Let no one sleep...

Nessun Dorma : Potts vs. Pavarotti - While Pavarotti's version is generally thought to be one of the best (though some might claim that honor for Corelli) this unassuming mobile phone salesman from South Wales pulls off an amazing performance.

Any AIX Gurus Still Out There?

We have a client running a billing system (GPMS) on an old RISC6000, AIX version 4, and we need someone to create custom reports that export the data in some format that can be utilized by them later.* I know enough (from working with AS400 stuff) that I've been able to do most minor maintenance for them via smit, but this is a bit beyond me. The position could be done from anywhere, and would be paid via a 1099. * It's because their contract with the vendor, IDX, is finally up, and the software/hardware will be removed this year.

Pangolins Need Love

Pangolins attain official "cute" status : Since Jonson was kind enough to share the Giant Amazonian Centipede, I thought an equally fascinating creature such as the pangolin (scaly anteater) deserved its own post. It's been mentioned in passing, but no one has drawn attention to the fact that it looks like a walking pine cone (YouTube), that the babies are carried on the mother's tail for several months, and that they come from a family (Pholidota) with only seven living species.

Of course, like nearly everything else on Earth, it is eaten or used as "medicine" by the Chinese, and the combination of deforestation/being eaten as bushmeat has reduced its numbers in Africa.

Unlike the centipede, it's probably not nightmare-inducing, but I don't think I'd want to trip over the giant pangolin on a dark night - especially since they can be up to six feet long. It's a beautiful animal, even inspiring poetry in some.
