solved.... Monarchs Use Antennas To Point The Way South Posted on: Friday, 25 September 2009, 06:25 CDT After years of theorizing about how Monarch butterflies find their way to Mexico for the winter, scientists have finally discovered that their antennas help them navigate the journey. Researchers confirmed the finding when they painted their antennas black and observed them losing their way. Butterflies have only the sun in the sky as a point of reference for direction, and since the sun is always moving, they have to constantly adjust in order to stay on the right path throughout the day. Monarchs have what most animals use to know the time of day: a ‘circadian clock’ in their tiny brain. Being able to determine the time and position of the sun is what lets them make it to the south. However, the Monarch butterflies have a special second clock based in their antennas that can also sense the light, according to the new study led by Dr. Steven M. Reppert, chairman of neurobiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Whatever we learn about the insect ... is going to tell us a little bit more about how our brain works," said Reppert, who studies the internal clocks in the brains of animals, including people. "It's fascinating biology that's begging to be understood," he added in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. Previously, researchers believed that the key to their navigation skills were in the butterfly’s brain, but this experiment revealed that the circadian clocks in the brain and antennas actually work together, Reppert said. The study, published in Friday's edition of the journal Science, involved the researchers gently holding the butterfly's wings and dipping their antennas in enamel paint. They found that the butterflies that had their antennas painted black lost the ability to find their way south, while those coated with clear paint were able to navigate normally. This helped the scientists to discover more than just the fact that they used the antennas to sense light. They also realized that the sense of smell played no role in finding their way, with both types of paint blocking that ability. Even though the butterflies can see light with their eyes, researchers concluded that the antennas were the most important part involved in their navigation. Butterflies whose antennas were surgically removed also lost their way. Charalambos P. Kyriacou of the University of Leicester, England, remarked that the experiment suggests that the antennas serve as a sort of natural global positioning system for the insects. "The antenna clock appears to override any input from the brain clock for navigation," Kyriacou, who was not part of Reppert's research team, said in a commentary on the report

A good luck apple! I hope he has it um preserved but not in a jar of jelly type way

Happy Halloween ...........two more cool cats...er, kids....

I am amazed at the awesomeness of the wild things plushies. I got the last one on the right at blockbuster for 20 bucks and the craftmanship is amazing good deal. Oh I am amazed at the lab haunted house on grosse ile, 12 to 1am ha ha (over 13 only xtra scaries.)

spank nasty bottom 4 $$$ this one is funny from the rant and rave section: not so funny just dumb rant. Whats funny is that someone took the time to post it. I didn't read the whole thing. It was too stupid. Look, some of you may not like what I'm about to say, but this is, THE TRUTH. I am not racist. I am giving my true opinion and honest evaluation and the sad thing is, most people cannot say these things out loud for fear of being a racist. I believe that we have one Earth, we need to share it, in peace and harmony. Mind your business and I'll mind mine. Todays world has brought us to the point where people are fed up. Blacks have ruined this country, plain and simple. White people are fed up. Since the riots of the 1960's, blacks have had every opportunity to raise themselves up. They've had equal opportunity and have been on equal ground for 40 years now. If you're black and you believe otherwise, you've either been dealing drugs, having multiple babies or you've led a lifetime of crime. If you went to high school, studied, got good grades, went to college, got a job and made something of yourself, good for you, you're part of a successful system that was put in place and congratulations. I applaud you. But, over the last 40 years, the majority of the black community has been embarrassing. You have ruined cities, metro areas and pretty much, this country, pulling it down the drain of enormous debt to supply you with welfare, child health care, law enforcement to chase you, judges to sentence you and prison guards to house you, feed you and recreate you within the penal system. BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS have been spent, every year since the 1960's. I thought, in fact, over 10 TRILLION DOLLARS have been spent over the last 40 years to house you in jail. You have ruined entire cities, like Detroit. I could go on with a list of dozens and dozens of cities in the United States of America, but the list would basically be never ending. You have ruined neighborhoods that were once pristine. You continue to wreak havoc upon communities and the population with horrible crimes such as armed robbery, rape, assault, car jackings and MURDER. You perpitrate THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of VIOLENT CRIMES, EACH AND EVERY SINGLE STINKING YEAR, just in one city alone, DETROIT. Your outreach of crime has reached the suburbs and you're ruining cities and neighborhoods that White people fled to in order to get away from you. You're breaking into homes, stealing cars, robbing party stores and killing people. White people are fed up. Yes, there are alot of white trash idiots, throughout every community. But as long as they have a 12 pack of Bud Light, they pretty much stay inside their houses, listening to country music and occasionally working on their cars. Yes, white people commit crimes as well....but, we are sick and tired of blacks and their demeanor, behavior and their propensity of a lifetime of crime. These stats alone, are MIND BLOWING: 60% dropout rate in high school! (and you wonder why you can't get jobs) 80% of children in Detroit have no father at home! 70% of the prison population is black! OVER 6,000 VIOLENT CRIMES, JUST IN ONE CITY, DETROIT, EACH AND EVERY YEAR! 400 (or more) MURDERS each and every year, just in one city, DETROIT! OVER 1,500 REPORTED SHOOTINGS, each and every year, just in one city, DETROIT! AND, we are SICK AND TIRED OF SHANEEQUA HAVING 8 BABIES BY 7 DIFFRNT GUYS! (notice I fail to call them "MEN!?") (and, yes I know I spelled DIFFRNT wrong, on purpose) THE POINT IS, GET OFF OF YOUR FUCKING BACK SHANEEQUA! (A short footnote: Did you notice how many women that were standing in that DTE ENERGY lines last week, trying to work out deals or get free electricity, who had their hair done up REAL NICE and they had bling bling dangling and their ceramic nails all done up and the brothas who had nice name brand clothing on along with the sistahs, ALL THESE THINGS COSTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, YET, THEY WERE TRYING TO GET FREE ELECTRICITY or TRYING TO BARGAIN DOWN THEIR BILLS?) made me puke.... frickin' low lifes, I swear. now this one is funny. Look here-----------> and, let me assure everyone, that these things happening in Detroit, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, DECADE AFTER DECADE, aren't being committed by white people. It is EMBARRASSING, AND, WHITE PEOPLE ARE FED UP. The black community conducts themselves like animals, or WORSE. Your speech, your behavior, your general conduct in public is ATROCIOUS! If this is the way you want to live, why not go back to Africa, start up your tribe and all live together say, in Ethiopia or somewhere where we don't have to see it, we don't have to pay for it and we don't have to hear about it. You can live your gangsta life and flash your guns and shoot each other all day long in Africa, we could care less. NO ONE WOULD CARE. GO AHEAD, KILL EACH OTHER. I believe I speak for all White People in America when I shout, WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOU, YOUR CRIME, YOUR WAY OF LIFE AND JUST YOU IN GENERAL. WORD. Location: YOU WANT THE TRUTH? it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

considering my medical ins just went up to 1000 a month as I am high risk...yah I'd say so. I don't qualify for medicade but my ins is more than my mortgage. Something has to change. I just hope if there is change I can still go to Beaumont as when I get bowel obstructions or ruptures Mt clemens gen is so shitty they will kill me.

things are coming together my prayers may be answered the future looks so bright...gotta wear shades well in this case self tinting non glare distance bi focals but what the heck. same thing.

Makin your dog look stupid is not cool like sending your kid to school in dork shit those bushes people do the edward sissor hands on too....the poodle cut bushes...not cool or how about that new razor commercial where there are different shaped bushes...and hot chicks walkin around..lol its rather suggestive for daytime tv this video is funny http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1084012 he looks like he is havin fun with that moisturizer.

glad your back!

thanks for the link very interesting! i am curious how they obtain them as that was not mentioned...I am hoping its donations and not grave robbing...? This was very useful to me as I have a cat skull and some other bones I have found over the years... quote: I found a bone, how do I clean it? <P class=description>For printable maceration instructions (Adobe Acrobat PDF), <A href="maceration.pdf">click here. <P class=description>First of all, don't boil or bleach bone! Boiling causes fat to soak into the bone, resulting in a greasy, yellowish specimen. Superficial grease can be removed with ammonia and certain industrial solvents, but this is an unpleasant process and cannot remove deep grease which will eventually migrate to the bone surface. Chlorine based bleach irreparably damages the bone itself, resulting in chalky, weak, extremely porous specimens that will turn to bone meal with age.</FONT> So, how do you really clean bone? Maceration - Using bacterial action to clean bone This is the simplest method of cleaning bone. Remove any remaining tissue or hide from the bone Immerse the bone in a container of water. Leave the container in a warm location where you won't mind the smell. Periodically pour the greasy, smelly water out (gardens love it!) and replace with fresh water. When the water runs clear, the bacteria have run their course. Soak the bone in regular drugstore strength hydrogen peroxide until it reaches the whiteness you prefer. This also sterilizes the bone. You're done! Dermestids- our favorite beetle. If you're going to continue cleaning bones, or are working with very delicate specimens, you may want to start a dermestid colony. Dermestids or museum beetles are a group of small meat-eating beetles whose larvae do a marvelous job of stripping tissue from even the most delicate of bones. This is the method used by professional preparators. Dermestid beetles can be obtained from biological supply houses, local natural history museums or university zoology departments. Once a colony is set up in a warm place, they require minimal maintenance and are capable of stripping entire skulls in a day or two. Before starting a dermestid colony, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one, these beetles need to be kept inside, as they like slightly warmer than room-temperature environments. Second, they will not eat decaying flesh or tolerate a great deal of moisture. Because of this, specimens must be fresh (freeze specimens if you cannot clean them immediately and thaw before introducing them to the beetles), skinned and de-fleshed as much as possible, and only placed in colonies large enough to clean them quickly. You will likely need to grow the colony to appropriate size before introducing the specimen. As a result, this method is not well-suited to cleaning just one specimen. But if you have many specimens to clean, a healthy dermestid colony is an efficient way to prepare the best bones possible.

I heard you have to pass a drug test as well, to get said card.

I have stopped practicing all sorts of magic for now. Personally I think it rather egotistical and selfish to assume you have the knowledge, power or state of grace to want to influence anything outside of chance or destiny...for now anyway... well I do still do healing work on people and the earth thats about it

I got labeled strawberry shortcake by my oakland county pals cause I am short as heck and have pink hair, I guess sometimes I dress like her too. Also, one of the people hang with out there is a large woman, the other a total les. So together we are shortcake, poundcake and fruitcake. heh. I like cake.

goddamnit stop trying to derail this topic from a sexual nature. I needs me perv fix! bring it on.

that sux. that you have to live with her I mean.

quote: "They want to use the city of Detroit as their dumping ground of their bottom-feeding, gutter-living behavior," said Richard Mack, an attorney and member of Perfecting Church. "Then they want to go back to their nice, suburban communities." Detroit -- The City Council will debate a possible crackdown on the city's 33 topless bars today, including a ban on lap dances and VIP rooms, that one owner calls "un-American." The changes could keep topless dancers six feet away from customers, on stages at least 18 inches high and in rooms of at least 600 square feet. That would make tipping dancers difficult and eliminate VIP rooms. Most club employees -- from disc jockeys to dishwashers -- also would have to pass background checks and wouldn't get licenses if they've committed specific crimes, including some drug and sexual offenses. But that's not all. Some religious groups still are pushing for an alcohol ban and a requirement that dancers wear opaque pasties, despite council members who panned going that drastic earlier this summer. Strip-club owners are promising to go to court, where the city already is facing about five lawsuits related to its regulation of clubs. "I feel like I am operating in 1930s Russia," said Rob Katzman, owner of the Toy Chest Bar and Grille. "Why should they dictate what someone else enjoys?" "We are on a high-speed train headed for millions in litigation." The crackdown emerged earlier this summer, led by religious and neighborhood groups, who say the clubs bring down the city's property values and increase crime. "They want to use the city of Detroit as their dumping ground of their bottom-feeding, gutter-living behavior," said Richard Mack, an attorney and member of Perfecting Church. "Then they want to go back to their nice, suburban communities." "It's a shame that poor people, minority people are always the dumping ground for this." It's not clear how far the city council -- which is in the midst of an election year -- will go in the crackdown. The meeting is at 2 p.m. in City Council chambers. "We will hear from both sides and go from there," Councilwoman Alberta Tinsley-Talabi said Monday. Mayor Dave Bing didn't have comment on the proposed changes Monday, which he could veto. The crackdown stems from a court battle in which a federal judge in 2007 struck down Detroit's regulations on where clubs could open and ordered them rewritten. City staffers have recast the laws, but added tougher proposed restrictions elsewhere. The city has spent $75,000 to get advice from Scott Bergthold, a Tennessee attorney who has worked nationwide to shut clubs down. And it has settled two federal lawsuits involving strip clubs recently for almost $670,000. The clubs say they bring in more than $3 million annually to Detroit in property taxes and fees, and employ nearly 6,700 people. Larry Kaplan, executive director of ACE of Michigan, the state association of clubs, said they approached the city's law department about a "stipulated injunction," in which the city would hold off on the changes while the clubs challenged their legality in court. The clubs would agree not to pursue damages. The law department refused, Kaplan said. Mack said he believes all the proposals are legal. Similar measures were instituted in Grand Rapids, he said.

Three people were shot - a nine-year-old boy fatally - early Sunday morning at 535 S. 23rd in Saginaw.Thomas made no attempt to hide his outrage over Saginaw becoming "the kind of place where an innocent, small child can't even sleep in his bed on a beautiful fall day without losing his life." Thomas said the gunman forced his way into the house. Preliminary evidence suggests Devin was asleep when the shooter opened fire on him. "This goes way over the top, to see a 9-year-old child murdered in ways we can't discuss today," Thomas said. "Whoever did this is someone we need to get off the streets as quickly as possible. "The people of Saginaw need to be fed up. They need to say enough is enough. We have absolutely gone beyond the time when citizens can accept the situation." Two other people, a 35-year-old man and 29-year-old woman whom police have not named, were critically wounded. Police said none of the victims were related. The home owner, one of the injured adults, is a friend of the boy's family. Saginaw County tax records show Barnell Amos owns the house. Technicians from the state police Crime Lab remained on the scene late Sunday, searching for evidence. Saginaw police detectives were to man the tip line round-the-clock. Neither Thomas nor Saginaw Police Chief Gerald H. Cliff would discuss the details of the investigation. "I want to echo the urgency of this investigation," Cliff said. "We won't leave until we've exhausted every lead. We are going to work this case as diligently as possible, devoting every resource. Anyone who knows anything, we want to hear it."

Did you know, new york says bees are venomous insects and you can get a 2000 fine for having a hive?? dumb. http://www.celsias.c...-natural-world/ Bees threatened in countryside from disease, parasites PARIS (AP) In the romantic city of lights, the bees are downright busy. Common sense says it is better to keep hives of stinging insects in the countryside, away from city centers packed with people. Yet on storied rooftops and public gardens in the urban jungle of Paris, the bee business is thriving. Bees are disappearing from fields across France and elsewhere in the world, victims of a slow decline in number because of loss of habitat compounded by a recent and mysterious catastrophe variously blamed on disease, parasites and pesticides. The most recent science research points to a combination of interacting diseases for new collapses of bee colonies. But in the heart of the French capital, Nicolas Geant is preparing to sell off his honey. It comes from hives on the edges of the soaring glass roof of the Grand Palais exhibition hall, just off the Champs-Elysees. "Paris has many balconies, parks and avenues full of trees and little flowers that attract many bees for pollination," said Geant, who has 25 years of experience under his belt. The Grand Palais beehives went up in May. They also sit in the Luxembourg Gardens, on the gilded dome of the 19th Century Palais Garnier and the roof of the ultramodern Opera Bastille. "In Paris, each beehive produces a minimum of 50 to 60 kilograms (110 to 130 pounds) of honey per harvest, and the death rate of the colonies is 3 to 5 percent," said Henri Clement, president of the National Union of French Beekeepers. "But in the countryside, one beehive only gives you 10 to 20 kilograms (about 20 to 40 pounds) of honey, and the death rate is 30 to 40 percent. It is a sign of alarm." The Luxembourg Gardens' hives alone produce more than half a ton of honey per harvest. It is sold to the public during the last weekend in September, and the income funds beekeeping classes and the facilities. Alain Sandmeyer, 63, a volunteer instructor at the gardens, said trees and shrubbery have grown sparser in rural areas, attracting fewer bees. Also, he said, rural bees are dying off from pesticides and fertilizers. In Paris, on the other hand, pesticides are forbidden in all parks and gardens. Urban beekeeping isn't just a Paris thing. Berlin, London, Tokyo and Washington, D.C., are among beekeeping cities. New York City on the other hand, lists bees as "venomous insects," and beekeeping is punishable by a $2,000 fine. Parisian Erin Langenburg, 24, a student, said the bees don't bother her when she's in Parisian parks, but they do tend to migrate to outdoor restaurants. "There seem to be a lot of bees when I'm eating outside on a terrace and they annoy me, especially when they get in my drinks," she said. "I am kind of scared of getting stung by one." For many years bee experts worried about an aging population of beekeepers, but a new young generation has suddenly taken on the hobby, said May Berenbaum, head of the entomology department at the University of Illinois. "There's definitely been an incredibly heartening increase in interest," Berenbaum said. Domesticated bee populations worldwide have dropped significantly since the late 1940s. The causes have been mostly loss of habitat, disease, fungi and invading parasites, says a 2007 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. It is estimated that half of the honeybee population has disappeared in the U.S. and Britain, according to an April report from the International Bee Research Association. And lately the world has been hit by a new crisis, called colony collapse disorder. In 2007-2008, it caused the loss of 35 percent of U.S. bees. Wild bee populations have also plunged, with disease and loss of habitat being blamed. Last year, 30 percent of Europe's 13.6 million beehives died, according to statistics from Apimondia, an international beekeeping body. A conference last week in Montpellier, France was told that Ireland had a 53 percent drop in bees in 2006, Slovenia lost 30 to 35 percent of its bee colonies last year, and Italy 37 percent. It's not just about honey. The U.S. Agriculture Department estimates a third of our diet comes from sources pollinated by insects, primarily bees. The French beekeepers' union reckons 65 percent of agricultural plants worldwide risk not getting pollinated. The U.S. has had to import huge numbers of bees from Australia to pollinate apple orchards and berry fields. In the Luxembourg Gardens, beekeeping has been going on since 1856. Today, for around euro160 ($230), Parisians can spend several months learning about and participating in beekeeping and honey-extraction. Volunteer instructor Dominique Castel, 64, has been giving all his free time to beekeeping at the gardens since retiring from his aviation industry job 12 years ago. Asked if he gets stung often, he shrugged and said: "You get used to it." http://www.macombdaily.com/articles/2009/09/20/online/srv0000006420106.txt
