tants handle things, she says.A top Balinese expert on art told her there are no women artists because women have no sense of color and don't like to get dirty. Ms. Northmore didn't believe him and started searching village after village for women artists. As she suspected, there were many of them out there. Many of these women had learned to paint by helping husbands or fathers. Often when she met them, right in front of a woman's family, Northmore would buy a painting and pay the asking price to prove that the work had earning potential.In a society where money is not personal but a family matter, it is difficult for a woman to spend money on art supplies. One woman stole materials from her husband [a painter] because she couldn't get it any other way, she says. He caught her and was delighted. Some men are very good about it.

UGG Nightfall Boots fear looters will take the little I have.With rebel leader Kabila's men advancing from 200 miles away, Kinshasa's resilient residents are more than pondering the changes that are coming.The rebels have taken half the country in seven months, including the rich diamond, gold, and copper territories. Mr. Kabila has been welcomed as a liberator in most towns he has conquered with little fighting. But many in Kinshasa fear that this last prize, the capital, will not be won without bloodshed.What is taken as a given by many here is that corrupt, unpaid government soldiers will mount a last violent stand, not necessarily to defend the city, but to plunder in the chaos.Past binges of le pillage traumatized many Zairean cities in 1991 and 1993, when soldiers rioted over low wages. Kinshasa's residents hope this will be the final such incident before a new era begins. For three decades, Mobutu has bankrupted the country, treating Zaire's treasury like his piggy bank.
