For more on Houston, check out her website.
WN: Dead Madonna is the eighth book in your series… what do you like about your characters that keeps you coming back to tell more stories involving them?
HOUSTON: Each of my main characters is distilled from memories of people I knew growing up: People I found fascinating, people for whom I had great affection. The famous author, Willa Cather, once said "people write from the memories they have from before the age of thirteen" and that is very true for me. Take Doc Osborne for example. My father was a dentist, my grandfather was a dentist, my uncle was a dentist – and I worked in the dental office as a teenager. Doc Osborne is distilled from my memories of those three men – their virtues, their flaws, the good and the difficult times in their lives.
So each book is an opportunity to spend time with dear friends.
WN: Your books involve fishing… do you fish yourself?
WN: How else does living in northern Wisconsin impact your writing?
WN: Were you a reader as a kid… what turned you on to reading/writing books?
WN: What's the best part of being a writer to you? What's the most challenging part of writing for you?
HOUSTON: The best part is the total escape that writing offers me – once I sit down to work, which I do for only an hour or two a day, five days a week – I'm in a zone that I find very satisfying. The hard part is making myself sit down to do it. I worry that I'll not do a good job and I have to remind myself that I've written eight books before and I can – and will -- do it again.
WN: What's next for you as a writer?
HOUSTON: Well, I'm under contract for two more books in the Loon Lake Mystery series. Also, I have a full time job in public relations, which requires good writing. And I'm taking notes for another book, not so much a mystery, that will be fiction and set in the northwoods but that's likely a few years away from being finished.
WN: What is the best/most influential book you have ever read and why did it inspire you?
HOUSTON: I love Willa Cather's work. Two of her books, O Pioneers! and My Antonia, continue to have an enourmous influence on me. I reread them every few years. Her prose is sparse and very contemporary. You can see and hear the people and the land and be instantly caught up in that world. I just hope I can do that for my readers.

The truth is that exposed credentials from adult dating sites hold particular value for cyber criminals given their potential to extort victims. Most subscribers to these services want to remain anonymous and don't want their employers or families to know. Users are likely to be prepared to pay large amounts of money to prevent their details being exposed online where others can see them.
As the threat of cybercrime intensifies both on and around the planet, there's never been a more important time for organisations to batten down the hatches to protect themselves. By adopting these types of approaches however, businesses will be able to strengthen their defence and ensure they don't become the next cyber-attack headline.
Ethical hacking services are increasingly being recognised as a great way for businesses to unearth security weaknesses before they can be exploited by online criminals. Organisations adopting a proactive approach to threat identification invariably find that this is much easier than trying to manage the fall out of a full blown cyber incident, which can cause huge financial losses and reputational damage.

This Tutorial is going to be on how to draw Chris Griffin from The Family Guy. This overweight animated character is a fun addition to the series, although you really don't hear from Chris to much in the episodes that he is on. You often see him on the couch watching T.V. with his dad Peter, or running through the house making crude remarks to his sister Meg. Like his father, Chris has a low I.Q and at times no common sense what so ever. I think the only thing Chris really knows anything about is movies and the names and bios of actors. He does however possess artistic abilities and he does work as a paperboy, so that is kind of like a plus for the blonde headed bomb shell. Although Chris has a low I.Q., occasionally he makes very insightful comments from out of no where about certain things. Personally I think Chris's age is some where between 14 or 15 years old, I'm not sure though. There are episodes where Chris often gets tormented by an evil monkey who lives in his closet, which is hilarious. Even though this character is low key he still makes me laugh. I like when he asks questions like "dad what's a blow hole?" and Peter would give him some off the wall explanation on the meaning of his question because Peter is also an idiot as well. You know when you watch The Family Guy and at the end credits it list the names of actors that are used as the voice talents for the animated bunch, well I always see the name Seth Green, and I know who Seth Green is he is the actor who played in various comedies including "Without a Paddle" and "Austin Powers II" as Dr. Evils son Scott. Well I always wondered why his name kept coming up, at first I thought maybe because he helped write the skits or something because no way in a million years would I think he was the voice talent for any of the characters on the series. Boy was I wrong. Come to find out Seth Green is the voice talent for Chris Griffin, which blew my mind because he sounds nothing like that at all. So anyways, Chris is a fun character to watch and listen to. This tutorial will show you how to draw Chris Griffin from The Family Guy step by step. All you have to do is follow the simple to read instructions and you will be on your way to drawing your very own Family Guy character.

Georgia Cancer Coalition Awards Mercer Professor Grant To Study Skin Cancer
Media Contact: Mark Vanderhoek (478) 301-4037
MACON — The Georgia Cancer Coalition has awarded one of its six research grants for 2010 to a member of the Mercer University School of Medicine faculty. The organization will provide $50,000 to Dr. Robert J. McKallip, an assistant professor of immunology in the Division of Basic Medical Sciences at the School of Medicine in Macon, to study therapies for treating malignant melanoma.
"Mercer scientists are once again being recognized for their numerous contributions to a variety of important health issues," said Dr. D. Scott Davis, senior vice provost for research and dean of graduate studies. "This generous funding for Dr. McKallip's research by the Georgia Cancer Coalition will allow his group to further advance the discovery of new therapies for malignant melanoma, a particularly aggressive type of cancer. Dr. McKallip is one of our many outstanding young faculty who have been hired in recent years and I congratulate his early success for external funding in a highly competitive environment."
Dr. McKallip will use the funding to do his initial investigation into a new method of treating malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer that can spread throughout the body and has a poor prognosis for recovery. He will research the use of the body's own immune cells to attack the tumors, which because they disperse throughout the body are often impossible to target with other therapies.
Using the grant funding, Dr. McKallip will investigate whether he can identify specific isoforms of the CD44 protein expressed on activated immune cells, which help the cells to track down and kill tumors. Once those specific isoforms are identified, he will enrich the immune cells that express those isoforms and return them to the patient, where they can attack the tumors more effectively. The grant will help Dr. McKallip to do the initial research and collect the data on his new therapy while laying the groundwork for future grant proposals for more exhaustive studies and the development of potential therapies.
"This grant will give me the funding to perform the critical experiments necessary to further my research and will provide the data I need for competitive proposals to the National Institutes for Health and other national grants," Dr. McKallip said. "This is a great grant to have because it offers important support for my research and I'm grateful that the Georgia Cancer Coalition has agreed to help me further my investigation."
The 2010 Cancer Research Awards are each one-year, $50,000 grants and mark the first time that the awards were made available to study all types of cancer. Legislation passed in 2009 removed prior restrictions to research in the areas of breast, prostate, or ovarian cancer. Reviewers included nationally-recognized scientists and clinicians from across the country. The awards are funded through a state income-tax check-off program, allowing Georgians to elect to donate $1 of their state income tax bill to fund cancer research.
"These research awards are important to our state's scientists," said Bill Todd, president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Cancer Coalition. "It is a testament to the growing focus on cancer research among Georgia's clinical and research investigators. We owe the program's success to our citizens who support the drive to eradicate cancer."
Dr. McKallip came to Mercer in 2009, after two years in the private sector, and prior to that was an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina. He also completed two post-doctoral appointments with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the Medical College of Virginia. He earned his Ph.D. in molecular and cellular oncology from The Georgia Washington University and his master's and bachelor's from Virginia Tech.
About the Mercer University School of Medicine (Macon and Savannah) Mercer University's School of Medicine was established in 1982 to educate physicians and health professionals to meet the primary care and health care needs of rural and medically underserved areas of Georgia. The School only accepts Georgia residents into its medical degree program. Students entering Mercer University School of Medicine will be graduated from a school that utilizes a problem-based medical education program that provides early patient care experiences. Such an academic environment fosters the early development of clinical problem-solving and instills in each student an awareness of the place of the basic medical sciences in medical practice. In August 2008, the inaugural class of 30 students began study at Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah at Mercer's second full, four-year doctor of medicine program. The School also offers master's degrees in public health, family therapy, family services and nurse anesthesia.

9/11 wasn't funny, you asshole. 19 good Muslims died that day.
I would agree that I "struggle to integrate other people's narratives into [my] own". A lot of my judgements place a lot of weight on personal experience. Even though I try to understand the limits of personal experience, and the important of empirical evidence, I also feel like certain people tend to gravitate towards using established theories to explain all behavior, and miss out on some of the truth because of it. It's a complicated matter that I can't fully explain. I almost feel as though academia in general is too confident in it's theories to explain many phenomena. Perhaps I could think of an example later, but I wanted to at least explain it first. But that's mostly where my "anti-intellectual" sentiment comes from.
And just for the sake of mentioning it, I really like that quote by your teacher. It popped into my mind several times since I've read it a few days ago.
Judging from the title, this thread should've been about me.
The biggest asshole imaginable would have to be a whale asshole. Think about it..
Whoa, whoa, guys. How is this thread still going on?
You're welcome.
Wow now I feel like a terrible person. I can here it in another tab and I'm still smiling

Leeks with Mustard-Bacon Vinaigrette
Author Notes: Traditionally the leeks were cooked in a big pot of boiling water. However, it's better to steam them, which prevents them from getting waterlogged. Smaller leeks, which appear in the springtime in Paris markets, are preferable for this dish because they're quite tender, although larger leeks are just fine, too. Just make sure that you clean the leeks very well, and cook them until they're completely soft all the way through.
When Romain and I made this together and we plated up the leeks, I got an unexpected lesson in the art of arranging the poireaux: I learned that it's imperative you lay them with the queue (tail) alternating with the tête (head). So I recommend you follow those instructions, if you want don't want to raise any Parisian eyebrows. —David Lebovitz
Serves 4 to 6
- 2 cups (200 g) thick-cut smoked bacon cut into lardons
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons neutral-tasting vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 5 large or 10 small leeks, cleaned
- 2 hard-cooked eggs
- To make the vinaigrette, cook the bacon over medium heat in a skillet until nearly crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain. When cool, chop the bacon into pieces about the size of tiny peas.
- Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and salt. Whisk in the oils, 1 tablespoon at a time (the sauce may emulsify, which is fine), then stir in 1 tablespoon of the parsley and two-thirds of the bacon. Set aside.
- To prepare the leeks, fill a large pot fitted with a steamer with a couple of inches of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat and add the leeks. Cook the leeks until tender; when you poke them with a sharp paring knife, it should meet no resistance at the root ends. (Smaller leeks will take about 15 minutes, and larger ones will take about 30 minutes.)
- Remove the leeks and let drain and cool on a plate lined with paper towels. Cut the leeks in half crosswise, and arrange on a serving platter, alternating them head to tail.
- Peel and dice the hard-cooked eggs and scatter them over the leeks. Pour the vinaigrette over the leeks and toss them and the pieces of egg in the dressing so they're thoroughly coated, then scatter over the remaining bacon pieces and parsley.

Social Question
When people type "argh." What do you think?
Asked by CaseyWVU10 (550)
February 17th, 2010
Whenever one one of my friends types "argh" in a message as a sign of disgust or exhaustion. I, without skipping a beat, picture them dressed in a full on pirate costume. "argh," to me, sounds like the sound a pirate makes, and when I read it, I say it like a pirate. Weird, I know, but true.

These are the proposed hunting regulations, including limits and seasons. This years final draft[/B] hunting proclamation for the Eastern Cape, released by the province's Department of Economic Development,Environmental Affairs and Tourism is focused on protecting the kudu population. This has suffered over the past few seasons as a result of drought, Rift Valley Fever, Wesselsbron disease and what farmers' associatios view as over-hunting. The proclamation curtails hunting of kudu in respect of the length of the hunting season and the number of kills per day. In general districts which previously hunted 3 months will now only be allowed to hunt for 2 months, while 2-month seasons have been reduced to the month of July. This includes districts such as Hankey, Steytlerville, Adelaide, and Middleburg. The hunting season in Aberdeen will be completely closed. A maximum of 2 hunters taking 1 kudu per property per day will be effective for all listed districts excluding Burgersdorp, Queenatown, steynsburg and Venterstad. In Pearston and Somerset East only bulls may be shot for the month of July. In the Tarkastad district farmers may allow a total of only 10 kudu to be hunted per property for the period of the hunting season, while they will be restricted to just 2 per property in Burgersdorp, Queenstown, Steynsburg and Venterstad. Prior to any hunting of kudu in these districts the relevent DEDEAT office must be notified during office hours of the intended hunt. The results of the hunt must also be reported within 12 hours after the hunt. No kudu may be hunted anywhere on commercial crops such as maize or lucerne. (Source: farmers weekly 17 Feb 2012) I wonder if this will trickle down to impact international hunters???
Brickburn, This proclamation only covers open properties, ie. low fenced properties. There are no "seasons" involved on high fenced properties, with the necessary CAE paperwork in place, hunting is allowed all year round. So, unless, you are making use of any low fenced properties for Kudu, this proclamation will not affect international hunters at all. I agree with this proclamation entirely! Especially the last sentence of no hunting will be allowed in crops. This is probably the sole reason for the massive decline in numbers of Kudu on open properties. The shooting of Kudu by landowners in some areas over illegal hunting methods, like spotlight in their crops has seriously dealt the Kudu population a huge blow. I know of an area a couple of hours away from me, where the landowners took off in the region of 240 Kudu last year. All shot off his crops. This type of shooting is also non-selective, with Bulls, Cows and calves taking heat. But as I mentioned, this will not affect the international hunters in the least. Lets just hope that this procalmation will achieve its aim and get the Kudu population back to where it was. Best Regards Marius Goosen
I know the proclamations are not for CAE properties in most respects. Usually where we international hunters are going about our hunting. The trickle down that I might expect would be the overall health of the Kudu population in general. It will sure effect those low fence properties that could be hunted in EC.
I get where you are coming from. Personally , I dont think it will affect us at all, since strict quotas per year are adhered to. The shooting of whatever crosses the crosshairs scenario is what's damaging the numbers. As trophy hunters, only the biggest bulls are taken(all within the yearly quota), ensuring a continuous feed through of a healthy population.
I may be wrong, but shooting off females and young animals are also a part of management in a high fenced property. The problem with overhunting appare when especially old productive cows are decimated. Shooting calves seldom hurt the population. (if done within correct quotes). I also guess that some farmers like the population as low as possible, at least those with commercial crops.
I'm sure Glad I got mine in 2010 as mine was a free range Kudu in the Tarkastad area and this proclamation could have affected me depending on Quotas taken on low fence sheep farms if it affects the international hunters at all.
I also got mine at a low fenced farm north of Grahamstown last year. What strikes me, are that on that property it was a lot of kudu, and the ph said that there was in fact a bit too many, especially cows. Another thing. Are you allowed to shoot the same amount of animal whether you own 100 ha or 1000 ha? That sounds strange to me. I talk about open, free range area.
I feel that the restrictions were completely justified in the mentioned areas, especially due to over hunting. I like how people always try to differentiate between free range and enclosed animals, kudu dont have a problem jumping a high fence, I had a massive influx of kudu bulls once I had put kudu cows on my high fenced property. No matter how I set my breeding models, the amount of Mature bulls after 1.5 years was not possible. So does this mean that all Kudu could be free range?
But does it mean there are a portion of mature bull moving in and out of enclosed areas in the rut? My ph in my Eastern Cape hunt last year told me that in the rut he saw bulls in the area that disappeared after the rut. He didn knew where they came from. Are there such a portion of bulls within a population which roaming around in the rut? I know that in a moose population you have some bulls that behave more territorial and then there are bulls roaming around in large area looking for cows.
Would most definitely agree with your ph as far as limited movement on rutting bulls are concerned, but would be weary of generalizing.... Even the bull movement between high fenced properties slow down sinificantly out of rut. My best always
I have definately noticed the the trend of higher bull numbers in the rut, also once the "open season" begins, on non CAE properties, we seem to get more transient bulls and the odd group of cows. (not sure how the cows get in and out?) I think the key to kudu movements in and out of a high fenced area is dictated by the fence. In my part of the EC there are not as many high fenced properties with electrified top strands and am sure that that is the key factor in determining the Kudu movements. Eland also do not have any respect for the high fence.
As another determining factor for bull movements, especially in the rut, is probably due to kudu cow densities.
Agreed, on the cows as well as the eland, they sure do work a fence line in spectacular fashion... My best always
How tall of fence are the Kudu/Eland crossing? I have heard of Eland crossing high fence when pursued.
As the spec here in South Africa is 2,4m (8ft) the fences should be a definite barrier, but is seems to serve more as a deterrent. Generally the Eland Cows will strike the top couple of strands and either break them or roll over them. The bulls I have seen clear it like a pole vaulter with out even clipping the top strand. Generally if you fence on flat ground, your fence seems to be better, it is when you get into really rugged areas where the fence is built on steep slopes or against high gradients, they are more likely to jump. I have watched a kudu push through a fence just above the netting.
I beleive it. Those wild Springbok I hunted this year were psycho, when ducking under the low fence a couple got caught on thier horns and rammed and flopped their way through. I assume that is where my ram broke the tips off his horns. Kudu probably have about the same tolerance for the fence.

Subject | NSIS installer script - win32 |
Date | Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:06:44 GMT |
ActiveMQ is missing a nice installer for Win32 that installs the ActiveMQ server as a Win32 service. I wrote this script for NSIS that will package up the distribution and create an installer that copies it to C:\Program Files, starts the service using \bin\win32\InstallService.bat and provides an uninstaller (displays in Add/Remove, etc). I had to make small modifications to the .bat files in order for this to work properly: - in InstallService.bat / UninstallService.bat, remove the pauses at the bottom of the files - in InstallService.bat, don't fail if JAVA_HOME is undefined. default to java.exe (users don't have JAVA_HOME defined out of the box) To use, change ACTIVEMQ_SOURCE_DIR to wherever you have your ActiveMQ distribution set, and change the ACTIVEMQ_VERSION to match. This is provided for anyone else interested in having an installer for the ActiveMQ server.

BRANDON — Prior to a fourth vote on its municipal budget, which took place Tuesday, Brandon had the dubious distinction of being the only town in Vermont without an approved 2014-2015 spending plan. After the votes were counted Tuesday evening that distinction was still intact.
Brandon voters rejected the most recent town budget proposal by a vote of 600-425.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: June 26, 2007 from Jacksonville, Florida Classification: Endangered Missing Date of Birth: April 24, 1981 Age: 26 years old Height and Weight: 5'7 - 5'8, 160 - 180 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Davis goes by his middle name, Austin. He has a scar on the right side of his face, about an inch long, that runs from his cheek to his lip. He also has facial dimples. Clothing/Jewelry Description: Unknown, but he usually wears baggy jeans and t-shirts or button-down shirts. Medical Conditions: Davis was depressed at the time of his disappearance and may have been suicidal.
Details of Disappearance
Davis was last seen in Jacksonville, Florida on June 26, 2007. That day, he called his employer, Megabytes Computers, and said he was taking the day off to take care of some personal business. He took a taxicab away from his sister's home that morning. The cab took him to Jax Jewelry and Pawn Shop, where he purchased a shotgun, put it in a duffel bag and left on foot. He left behind all his possessions, including his bookbag, laptop and a blank check from his father. He may have been carrying about $1,000 in cash on him when he disappeared.On June 8, two weeks before he disappeared, Davis was arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and driving on a suspended license. His car was impounded and he was booked into jail for the night, then was bailed out by a relative. His license had been suspended for failure to pay traffic tickets. He attempted to pay the tickets after he was released from jail, but had difficulty doing so because they had been issued in Tallahassee, Florida and he was without transportation. His loved ones believe he may have gotten a ride to Tallahassee with an unknown friend on the day of his disappearance.
Davis was upset and ashamed about being arrested. He spoke with some friends about getting medical attention for his depression. On July 5, a witness reported seeing a man matching Davis's description at a car lot on U. S. 27. He asked for water, and said he had not eaten in two days. The witness gave him some food and water. The man may have been hitchhiking and said he was trying to find a hospital or other facility to treat his depression. It has not been confirmed that this individual was Davis, however.
Davis is described as a kind, loving, well-mannered man who was close to his family in 2007. He is good with computers and enjoys fishing. His loved ones stated he smoked marijuana occasionally but did not use other illegal drugs. There has been no activity on Davis's cellular phone or bank accounts since he went missing. His family fears he may have taken his own life. His disappearance remains unsolved.

Techno Tuesday – Lady Gaga Remix
Subscribe to Channel 95.7 on
I know, I know… It's a day late (well two) BUT it is definitely not a dollar short! If you are new to techno/electronica but enjoy Lady Gaga, well then you would probably enjoy remixes of her work. Her sound is already very close to techno, therefore remixes sound similar to her original work. Sit back and have a listen, see if you like it.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel screening test to detect patients with primary immunodeficiencies(PIDs). The investigators plan to use information gained from this study in order to advance the field of clinical immunology, thus improving the diagnosis, treatment, and well-being of future patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if this screening test is able to detect patients with immune problems, and the investigators will test patients with known PIDs to determine if the test is accurate
The investigators hypothesize that detecting serum immunoglobulins from dried blood spots will be effective in detecting patients with known primary immunodeficiencies. If our hypothesis is confirmed, it opens the possibility of using point of care testing to screen for primary immune deficiencies.
Age of study subjects will range from 1 year to 80 years of age, and will be recruited form the Immunodeficiency clinic at the Medical College of Wisconsin/Children's Hospital of Wisconsin (MCW/CHW). Any subject having testing done to evaluate the immune system is eligible for this study. This will include patients with known PIDs as well as patients evaluated for a suspected immunodeficiency. It is anticipated that 150 subjects will be analyzed over a two year period.

Fladell was the first lawsuit filed in the wake of the 2000 U.S. presidential election. The plaintiffs alleged that the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board misled voters by issuing confusing "butterfly ballots" where votes intended for Al Gore ended up in the hands of Pat Buchanan. Three separate complaints were filed in circuit court in Palm Beach County, Florida on November 8, 2000, the day after the election, and the suit grew with the incorporation of four more complaints the next day.
Gore's lawyers argued that another election was necessary to remedy the situation. George W. Bush's team argued that the ballots were perfectly fine, and that they had even been designed and approved by a Democrat panel.
The case was decided on November 20, 2000, when a Republican judge, Jorge Labarga, ruled that the court could not order a new election in Palm Beach. Gore's legal team appealed the decision to the more liberal Florida Supreme Court, which upheld the verdict on December 1, 2000.

We have came to Franklin several times. We always visit Rose Creek. Our younger kids love it, as well as the teens and adults.
We bought a salted bucket and found some beautiful gems! I've since ordered a bag to go through at home.
We visited with our 13 & 6 yr old daughters. We decided to dig our own buckets. Two buckets a person was plenty! It was beautiful weather outside. My youngest was the only one who ruined her shirt. So beware and wear old shirts especially the little ones. They get a lil wet. The dirt does not come out of... More
From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the owner of the mine everything felt comfortable and well organised. Helpful advice was always there when needed and everyone from the youngest child to the older 'miners' was made welcome. Can't speak highly enough about this experience. Highly recommended.
We want to do a kid-friendly activity since they are to small for rafting/zip-lining, so we stopped by Rose Creek. And we are glad we did!! We bought the dig-your-own buckets and the kids enjoyed filling them up from the dirt pile. Found some decent size stones in that, but we also bought a premium bucket and dumped it into... More
Nice day out at an enhanced mine. If you need a guarantee day with going home with a gem Rose Creek does a nice job. We found several pieces of gems from various parts around the world without too much effort.
Rose Creek mine is so worth doing again. My husband, myself, a 10 year old boy and a 5 year old girl had a wonderful time. We picked salted buckets- my son loves rocks and has a polisher at home so he wanted to take home a nice selection. He was thrilled with the rocks. What we all loved was... More
Tom & Linda are great. Very friendly, helpful and a wealth of info both historical & mineral. Well worth the drive to get there. They not only help identify the gems but also bag and label them so you will remember which is which when you get home. Best gem grubbing we have ever been to. Can't wait to get... More
We took our three grandchildren, ages 5,6 and 8, and had a great time. The staff was GREAT in showing the kids how to mine the gems. They even identified and labeled the stones. We'll be back next Summer!
Salted buckets and a place to stay! An interesting mountain drive gets you there. It was raining the day we came and prepare for mud. Surprising gift shop. Wouldn't expect the fine quality of jewelry made by locals. The owner is a facetor and very active in the gem community of Franklin, N.C. I got an excellent deal on a... More

Farming has been a useful tool for a long long time, and not just for humans!
A world without them might not be as nice as we might think...
Insects don't have internal bones the way people do: their hard supporting structures are all on the outside, and need to be rebuilt as the insect grows.
Entomologists from North Carolina State University discovered we share our houses with hundreds of different arthropod species.
Insects need water to survive and use varied methods to quench their thirst.
Nature photos uploaded to Facebook lead to the discovery of a new plant species.
In solving the pollination mystery surrounding Heliconia tortuosa, scientists made an important discovery about plant evolution.
Stick with the fly traps or swatters...you can't choke out these pesky pilots.
Insect societies are typically female dominated. But in Costa Rica, male wasps defy the queen's rule.

Tech Dirt
July 13, 2013
It feels like it's been a while since I've seen Xtranormal videos, but someone who shall remain nameless has put together a rather hysterical video of President Obama explaining why massive NSA surveillance under his watch is different than when it was done by President George W. Bush. As you may recall, President Obama criticized these programs while he was "Candidate Obama," but has now expanded them massively. This video explains why — and is likely to make you laugh:
It was concerning when the Bush administration was secretly collecting your information. Heck, I had concerns back then myself. But, everyone knows that George W. Bush was not a good President. Whereas, I am a good President. See the difference? So, while you could not trust George W. Bush to secretly collect your data, you can trust me. I'm a trustworthy guy.
Another important difference between my administration and the Bush administration is that when the Bush administration secretly spied on you, the Bush administration could not point to a single judge willing to say their program was legal. We, on the other hand, can point to such a judge. I'm not going to tell you who this judge is, or why he or she thinks our program is legal. If I did that, it would, obviously be harder for me to convince you that the program is legal. Instead, I'm just going to tell you that we secretly found one judge who was willingly to secretly say that it was legal for us to collect all of your data….
The Bush administration could not tell you that it had informed Congress. Whereas my administration took steps to ensure that if you ever found out about our secret surveillance program, we could tell you that we informed Congress. To be clear, when I say 'we informed Congress,' I am not saying that we did out best to ensure that Congress had enough information to have an informed debate on this vital national security issue. What I am saying is that we informed Congress enough for me to stand here and tell you that 'we informed Congress.' What Congress actually knew is not important….
If Congress did not want us to secretly interpret the law, then Congress should not have passed a law for us to secretly interpret….
If you, the American people, did not want me to secretly collect your data, then you should not have elected me President. Yes, I know many of you were probably unaware that I wanted to secretly collect your data, especially since I said I would not secretly collect your data. But, I choose to believe that you elected me to be your President, because you believe that if someone has to secretly collect your data, that someone should be me. And, as we all know, my secret interpretations of your support are more important than the reasons you actually supported me.
Finally, while I do not believe there is any reason to debate this issue, I will tell you that I welcome a debate on this issue. In fact, I'm so grateful that Edward Snowden started this debate that I have decided to stop at nothing to ensure he spends the rest of his life in a federal prison.

Speak With Motorola TLKR
Motorola has unveiled new two-way radios, in spite of the fact that they left out the vowels while naming them. Both incorporate the hanging loop feature that makes them easy to carry. The TLKR T3, designed for the younger crowd in orange red, or blue, features 8 channels with a 5 km range, a channel scan and monitor, an LCD display, and will last up to 20 hours on a battery charge.
The deluxe T5 has those same features, in addition to 121 channel code privacy, a twin charger pod with separate charging jack, voice activation and auto-power off. The T5 walkie talkies come in black, red, or blue. Motorola promises to keep them "at an affordable price point," which sounds a bit vague for now, so contact them for price and availability.

Losing someone is immensely stressful for those left behind, but adding financial concerns about how funeral costs will be paid for can cause even more upset. Rising costs of living and low interest rates mean that it's unlikely any money put to one side in savings will increase enough to meet the rising costs of funerals. This is because the average cost of a funeral has increased above both inflation and average savings rates in recent years.
In 2006 the average cost of a funeral was £2,225 and by 2012 this had risen to £3,516; if costs continue to rise at this rate, they are expected to reach almost £5,000 by 2017. However, there is a way to beat these rising costs. When you take out a Guaranteed Funeral Plan from Dignity, the UK's leading funeral plan provider, you freeze the cost of your funeral at today's prices. This means that however much funeral costs may rise in the future; you can rest assured that funeral costs will be covered and your family will have no more to pay for the arrangements in the plan.
A Guaranteed Funeral Plan from Dignity also protects your family from the stress and worry of having to find a funeral director and decide on what arrangements you would have wanted. You can rest assured that the funeral will go ahead exactly as you wished, and your family can add any personal tributes they wish at the time.
Acceptance is guaranteed for everyone aged 50 or over and you can pay for your Guaranteed Funeral Plan either with a one-off single payment or by spreading the cost by paying in monthly instalments. If you do opt for monthly payments, these can be spread over a range of different terms, from 12 months up to 60 months. Costs are fixed, so once the plan is paid for, there won't be any further requests for payment.
Reader Offer
To find out more, request a free Funeral Planning information pack and £50 discount for Telegraph readers call Dignity on 0800 389 9295 quoting TE0054ND.
