“The Madeleine McCann industry: How a three-year-old’s disappearance became a troubling national obsession,” one headline read. Another deemed the search for answers into what happened to Madeleine “A Global Obsession.”

Free at last from the investigation that has dogged him since taking office, Trump wasted no time in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. On Tuesday, his administration announced that it wants a federal court to fully invalidate the Affordable Care Act. And, in the spirit of his bully pulpit, he said that "somebody" ought to investigate the origins of collusion allegations, as well as those in the media who he said advanced the conspiracy.

[Felix]’s alternative firmware has a couple of key features that make it valuable. Longer PINs are supported, decreasing the likelihood that malicious actors can gain access to the system. Additionally, the device is set to restore the last relay state after a power loss event. This makes the device far more useful for situations where it’s important to ensure consistent operation. It’s no use if an intermittent power loss stops your livestock’s water trough from filling, for example.

Co-author David Bonter, director of Citizen Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology said, “From my 17 years working with people who feed birds as part of citizen science projects, I’ve heard a great deal about their impactful observations at their feeders. This study provides important information about the breadth and pattern of these experiences through responses of over 1,000 participants. The findings will help us at Project Feederwatch improve how we work with bird watchers toward our shared goal of bird conservation.”

Buyers also should consider where they can access power in their yards for the water pumps (recirculating pumps are most commonly used) and whether they plan to light the feature for nighttime appeal.

Taibbi accused the press of covering the Mueller investigation not as a “neutral fact-finding mission” but as something closer to “religious allegory, with Mueller cast as the hero sent to slay the monster.”

Menaghlazi has created a clean-lined California coastal design style for the Sonoma model.  Light oak hardwood floors will combine with soft white ivory and tan backgrounds and tongue-in-groove ceilings to present a relaxed yet elegant ambiance.  Visitors will experience a landscaped setting and the sound of a cascading water wall as they make their way across a water feature on a large stone pavered walkway that leads to the Sonoma’s double-door entry.  The foyer will lead to the great room and provide a see-through view of the outdoor living area.

To make four small troughs, we added two eight-inch potfuls of each ingredient into the tub. After thoroughly blending the dry ingredients with a trowel, we made the mix into a crater, and Carillo arrived with a hose wand to put in about two gallons of water in the center. We then worked the mix gradually into the puddle until it formed a mud. Carillo judged it too dry and added a little more water (twice, after mixing each time). The final consistency was akin to soft ice cream. If the mix becomes too soupy, you have to add more of the dry ingredients — Chips keeps a mixed batch ready just in case.

Nearby in the North Bed, two 18-foot red-crowned Japanese cranes tower over blooming lotus flowers in various stages of life. The cranes are inspired by the popular One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, one of a series of ukiyo-e prints by Japanese artist Hiroshige. In Japanese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity and strength, while the lotus flowers are honored for their ability to bloom from the mud of a murky pond – a process that symbolizes enlightenment. Designed to replicate a legendary tea house that debuted at the 1893 World Fair in Chicago, a traditional tea house sits just beyond the pond, set for a time-honored tea ceremony. 

Everything old is new again. Yup .just like a GOP pretending to be a fiscal conservative until its his/her turn to line up at the pig trough.

New York’s canal system linked the state and country with foreign markets which increased trade dramatically but it also launched the commercialization of quarries, regionally and across the state, which supplied essential materials for building a growing Utica.

"That is not the case at all. They don't have to be a member of either organization to have a beautiful yard," she added. "There are so many that we have approached to be on on our annual Garden Tour for instance, and they say, 'Oh gosh, I'm not a member of the garden club and I don't know that much. My yard is not that great.' But it is. A lot of it is what they learned growing up, learned from their grandma, mom or dad. They don't have to be professional to have a beautiful yard."
