Previously, I questioned the assumption that giving Tennessee State University a chance to build an agricultural research center on Bells Bend would support agriculture even if the primary research focus is more on agribusiness than on farmers. I've not seen any other May Town Center opponent question the assumptions of the TSU donation, and while I don't reap any rewards from playing the pessimist...

Introduction As we look through the gospel reading today, I am going to pick on a number of words and phrases to try to give a better picture of what was going on. Marks' Gospel is a fast moving text. It could be called "What Jesus Did Next". It is easy to get caught up in the story and miss some of the undercurrents.

Check out an interesting post on the blog Word Grrls about taxidermy, especially rogue taxidermy, which was partially inspired by my post last year on the subject. If you recall, I described the horrific conditions of some (most, in fact) of the stuffed specimens at the Museum of Archaeology and Natural History at Güzelyurt (Morphou) in North Cyprus. Remember that fox?

Just north of Dover harbour, Langdon Cliffs rise up as a challenge to the nearby French coast (Look at this if you disagree) . This was the site of a successful nest of ravens this spring, and some marvellous photos were taken by Tony . A large dip between two of the higher cliffs is known as Langdon Hole, and is the site of some of the few remaining kittiwake colonies hereabouts. The usual photographable...

IT’s a small strip of land, barely six metres long. But for historians and archaeologists, the patch of earth near Outlane is a remarkable find. And it is more evidence of how the Romans lived and worked in Huddersfield 2,000 years ago. Read the rest of this article...
