Two burglary suspects who covered their faces by drawing on 'masks' with a permanent marker pen have been arrested.

A witness told police that two men with painted disguises were trying to break into an apartment in Carroll, Iowa, US.

The caller added that the pair, both wearing black hooded sweatshirts, drove off in a large white car.

Police soon spotted a 1994 Buick Roadmaster that matched the vehicle description and stopped it.

They found two occupants with mask-like scribbling on faces, Iowa's Daily Times Herald reported.

Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, were arrested at gunpoint because of reports they might be armed, but neither man had a weapon.

Both suspects were charged with attempted second-degree burglary and have been released on bail.

McNelly was also charged with driving while intoxicated.

The pair was due in court on November 10 for a preliminary hearing.

Second-degree burglary is Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $7,500 (£4,575) fine.

Chimpanzees Seen 'Mourning' Late Friend (Skye News Online)

Chimpanzees Seen 'Mourning' Late Friend

More than a dozen apes watched in silence from their enclosure in Cameroon as the body of Dorothy, a chimp in her 40s, was wheeled past for burial.

Dorothy, who died of heart failure, was described as a "prominent figure" within the group of about 25 chimps at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Centre.

The photo was taken by 30-year-old Monica Szczupider.

She was working at the centre, which cares for orphaned animals whose mothers were killed for the illegal bushmeat trade.

"We were burying Dorothy," she said. "We brought her in the wheelbarrow to let the others see.

"I cannot emphasise enough how silent and still they were. Chimpanzees are typically not like that.

"They are loud, with short attention spans. It was unbelievably emotional. We were all struck."

Z-DAY, Norfolk, VA (11OCT09) slideshow enclosed

       So, Norfolk raised our hopes and ALMOST SMASHED them entirely. It was nice enough for the MacArthur Mall (Norfolk, VA) to allow what some may call an inalienable right to walk among the living and look AWESOME doing it! However, coma, the City of Norfolk Police (and apparently, mall task force) played off of a skewed perspective of Virginia Code § 18.2-422 - Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places. Unfortunately, the wi-fi was either overwhelmed by the zombie geeks that probably broke every Virginia fire code in that store, or it was just too unreliable to allow me to browse up the actual law, as posted in the Virginia Codes (which supersedes, in this case, a City's protestant preferences). As stated in that very same code, the exceptions are as follows: the provisions of this section shall not apply to persons (i) wearing traditional holiday costumes; (ii) engaged in professions, trades, employment or other activities and wearing protective masks which are deemed necessary for the physical safety of the wearer or other persons; (iii) engaged in any bona fide theatrical production or masquerade ball; or (iv) wearing a mask, hood or other device for bona fide medical reasons upon the advice of a licensed physician or osteopath and carrying on his person an affidavit from the physician or osteopath specifying the medical necessity for wearing the device and the date on which the wearing of the device will no longer be necessary and providing a brief description of the device.
       Long story short, folks: What was supposed to be a full blown, zombie mall-crawl, became a rushed cue of bloodied-up, all eyes on us, surreal and grotesque power walk to the HOT TOPIC down and across the stairs, from the Barnes & Nobel starting point. It was a disappointment  to some- and you know I complained- but really one must ask oneself... "HOW MANY TIMES CAN ONE SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE GEEKING OUT ON A ZOMBIE PAGEANT OUT IN PUBLIC???"
       I can still plan for Richmond, VA's Zombie-walk!

When Will the 21 Century LOOK like the 21st Century?

Thanks to the Genius of James Patten, we have Microsoft developing "Surface", "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (remake) and "Minority Report's" touch-interactive technology and what looks like quite a few eager advert companies ready to jump on that train and ride it into a place the 21st century should actually look like. The following link is to a showreel of some of those firms shpwcasing  both promise and technovisual satisfaction. n joy.

No Wonder Germany Followed Hitler Into War... How Could You Say No to a Face Like That?

Becoming Divergent

there's a littl bit of a hidden message that's trying to be spoken here, considering that the two painting projects i have lined up next- should i ever get to them- are of only half a face. the easiest facade for a half a face, while almost appearing whole, would be the profile. these are faces that are coming out of (or submerging into) a line drawn down the center of each page/ canvas. on one side of the line, there will be a separate color than what lies just on the other side. the face, however will be anything but flesh tones. these are to describe the mania, passion, psychosis. there will be plenty of color. and considering how bad i am at color, i'm quite excited to see how much i'm either going to mess this up or perfect it- either way, it'll just so accurately describe the moment, i'm sure.
