This week has been really hot. I thought there is no progress in the garden except for pruning. I was away for a day and some plants were almost dried up when I got back.

Trying to convince myself
Its hard for me to believe

Playing games, you never get enough
Warm breaths and a peck
Not fair, I ...

A wry aside, but one that greemly summed up how thees event played out. Perhaps unsurprisingly, at a time when an offeecial reeport has to recommend that eelected politeecians “reesist the use of Heetler, Nazee and Holocaust metaphors, deestortions and compareesons”. Читать дальше...

If you're like me, you've probably been intrigued with the potential of drones over the past few years, but put off by the steep price of entry to buying one. While the prices of drones have continued to come down, and their sophistication and functionality have gone up, it can still be a bit intimidating to think about purchasing one and learning to fly it. Fortunately, there are some new options that make it easier to buy in, and ...

19-year-old, Stoke born Vassell, who is a central defender, began his career with the Potters but failed to make an appearance for the first-team before joining Oldham Athletic in October 2015. Mystery player everyone is asking ...

Left-back Andy Taylor, who recently rejected Walsall's offer of a new one-year deal, has today signed a contract with recently relegated Sky Bet League Two side Blackpool, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

30-year-old, Blackburn-born Taylor, who has penned an initial one-year deal with the Seasiders, joined the Saddlers in August 2012, and went on to make over one-hundred-and-sixty appearances in a Walsall shirt.

I was delighted to discover that my book GIANT SHARK: Megalodon, Prehistoric Super Predator is featured on the FableLearning.com/PopUp library in July. This has been one of my all-time most popular books, out of print in paper, but still being read by thousands of children as an e-book. Here's the info about the free summer reading program from Fable Learning:

Human memory is highly malleable. Because of this malleability, jointly remembering the past along with another individual often results in increased similarity between the conversational partners’ memories. We propose an approach that examines the conversation... Читать дальше...

Barnsley Manager Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed that his club have recently made a move for Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw, but admitted that the clubs remain 'miles apart' as the Saddlers seek a much improved initial fee from the £250,000 that the Tykes are reported to have offered.
Speaking to the assembled media, Paul said; “We made a bid for Tom – he is a striker coming into the last year ...

Summer is officially here and it is HOT! I live in an 11th floor apartment with no AC, and it just so happens that that is also my home office, so I’m basically working in a sweat lodge. Good thing I’m moving back to Toronto soon though, where a nicely air conditioned living room awaits me and my mobile workspace.

Yet another reason to vote for Trump on November 8.

And if you have family, friends or acquaintances who will still vote for Hillary, shun them.

On July 1, 1902, A’s pitcher Rube Waddell became the first American League pitcher to throw an immaculate inning.  In the third* inning, Waddell struck out Billy Gilbert, Harry Howell, and Jack Cronin on nine consecutive pitches.  He gave up only two hits over the course of the game, facing the minimum 27 batters en route to a 2-0 victory.

2. Certain foods like mind, cucumber, and spicy foods can help cool you down. 
3. Don't use ...

Since the day Lia was born, I would daydream about the day she would start eating. I thought on all the different foods I would create for her and how she would react when having her first teaspoon of mashed veggie puree.
As a baby, she’d love to eat any mashed vegetable! But now that she’s going to be three years old in a few months, this little person started to be a little picky with vegetables. She loves eating ...

I have to be honest June is one of my least busy months on the patch front at the best of times, the birding drops right off with so many birds nesting and nothing new moving through, but this June has been so wet that my normal targets, the butterflies and odonata, have been struggling too, but yesterday I headed out anyway on my Last June Jaunt of the year.
