Why the armed FBI raid on Roger Stone’s home was justified (it has nothing to do with collusion) | Old Trough

It was only around 30 minutes before a blue tit tested out the new plastic bottle feeder in the Museum's Wildlife Garden - however, it may take longer in your own garden  

Aaron Rich filed his own suit the same month, but his complaint named the Washington Times, former Fox guest Ed Butowsky (who is also named in Joel and Mary Rich’s suit) and a pro-Trump blogger and self-styled investigator named Matt Couch. The Times was dropped from the suit after retracting its column about Seth and Aaron and apologizing to the Rich family. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has yet to rule on whether the case will proceed.

Visualize your garden "IRL." Buy seedlings from a nursery or start flower plants from seed indoors. To get a great idea of how your garden layout will work in real life (IRL), arrange the young plants, still in their pots. Readjust their positions until you’re sure you’ve got everything exactly the way you want.

Maybe it’s obvious why we do it – birds are beautiful and fun to watch, and we like to see them up close. Many like to feel that they are helping birds by providing food. While there has not been as much research on the topic as you might think, the literature does have good news for you “I’m helping the birds” types - it turns out you may be right. A study published in the journal Conservation Physiology looked at the health of birds in areas with and without bird feeders in Illinois, and they found that, in terms of several physiological measures, birds were healthier and less stressed in areas with bird feeders. They did find an increase in diseases like conjunctivitis and avian pox in the feeder areas, but concluded that this was offset by the improved overall health of the birds. It may be worth noting that this research was funded by the bird feeding industry, including the Scott’s company, which was fined $12.5 million dollars in 2012 for knowingly and illegally selling bird seed laced with pesticides toxic to birds. Hmm.

The snow may not have been impressive, but the rainfall set numerous records in the region, and caused historic flooding in Nebraska. Here’s a list of the rainfall records. All these records occurred on March 13 except Alamosa, Colorado which broke records on consecutive days.

Demi Fortuna, director of product information for Atlantic Water Gardens, Mantua, Ohio, says a simple stone pillar with a bubbler, a basin, a pump and a light would cost about $400 to $500 wholesale. He estimates that a contractor who adds some mulch, flowers or plants around the installation can charge a customer in the range of $1,500 to $2,000 for it, and he’ll be delighted by the result.

[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.

Regardless of the reason for this chukar showing up in Stratham, the great thing about these kinds of sightings is they make you realize how fluid our world is. Every year there are numerous reports of birds sighted in New England that shouldn’t be here - accidental migrants, rare sightings - Mississippi kites nesting in New Hampshire, Kevin the sandhill crane that overwintered in Rollinsford, far from its normal Midwestern habitat, and flew away in the spring, or the poor great black hawk, native to Central and South America, that showed up in Portland, Maine this winter and eventually succumbed to the elements. This chukar is far from home. I wish it well.
