As we cautiously approach a railroad crossing, there’s this primary signal that we are extremely vigilant for. No, this is not the red and green warning lights. I am talking about the sound that has been blaring over the railroads all across the country for over a century now. We all know this my fellow [...]
Having train horns installed on a truck is very useful in order to create a loud noise, audible to most people, animals and other vehicles nearby that will make them alert of the truck’s presence. Many people are now choosing to fit their trucks with train horns for the exact same reason that trains use [...]

The Bank of England is meeting this week to deliberate on monetary policy, at a time when the UK economy looks to be slipping into a steeper downturn, while inflation is rising to new highs thanks to rocketing oil and commodity costs. It is only a few months since markets had been pricing in up to 3 further rate cuts this year, but that position was reversed when inflation bubbled back above 3% in

In the world of phage, uniqueness rules. The total number of phages in the biosphere is dramatic, with estimates numbering the population at 1031! Despite such high numbers, since the discovery of phage no identical phage has been found in the environment twice. They have often been termed "Nature's Most Successful Experiment." Their genomes are in constant flux amoung themselves and their hosts. It therefore should no longer surprise us when we discover a phage that doesn't quite fit the mold.In this paper by Pope, et al. they describe a phage (named Syn5) of the cyanobacteria that comes equipped with a "horn." Described as a "slender elongated fibrous protrusion," the horn clocks in at 50nm in length. To put perspective on this, the horn is almost as long as the capsid is wide (60nm) and

Recently the Citizen’s Advice Bureau (CAB) has criticized the Mortgage lending industry for increasing the arrears problems for borrowers due to their arrears management processes. This was backed up by a string of case studies that the CAB had drawn up totalling over 1,200 people’s stories.
The report stated that mortgage lenders are too quick to seek court possession orders against borrowers and that they should negotiate with borrowers as this is a dangerous situation for them as many borrowers when backed into a corner are resorting to the upsurge of leaseback schemes that have resulted in borrowers becoming homeless due to this process.
Between repossession orders and the leaseback sharks circling them, borrowers seem set up for a fall and the CAB says that the Mortgage lenders are doing little to combat this result. Meanwhile the Council of Mortgage Lenders has dismissed the report claiming that it was too simplistic in its criticisms.
The CML pointed out th
A dilemma is a problem offering two solutions or possibilities, of which neither is acceptable. The two options are often described as the horns of a dilemma, neither of which is comfortable.Let me assure you...I was anything but comfortable on Thanksgiving Day. In fact, it was probably the least enjoyable Thanksgiving I can remember in all of my 38 years on this earth. Oh the food was delicious, most of the company was delightful, and it was a pleasure to see out of town relatives after a year-long hiatus. But the dark cloud of what I knew must have been hanging over my head all day, because my friend asked me what was up - she said I wasn't my usual cheery self. I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to interfere...I would be what the Bible calls a 'talebearer'...a gossiper, and it wasn't my place to get involved. After all, she knew what she was up against, didn't she? She'd been this way once with my relative, so I didn't have any responsibility here.(Cue dark theatrica

This is almost an annual event that is going to take on the mighty Microsoft? In this case it is Google and it comes about because of the Vista search service, according to the guys over at Google there is another question of Microsoft using anti competitive behavior, through its search tools.
Google say that many users are turning the Google option off, this is said to be in violation of the 2002 anti trust agreement that made Microsoft allow other browser owners and other programs to be set as a factory default.
The case is due to be heard this month but will it make any difference, will Google beat up Microsoft? Who can tell, no doubt we will know a bit more later on in the month.

I wanted to put up a review of my trip to Saskatchewan with Horns Whitetail Adventures. Most of you know this if you have been reading the blog but I want to make it a bit more formal and official. First of all I fully endorse this outfitter. P.J. and Bobby are fully committed to their customers and to getting it done the right way! Being an outfitter and building an outfitting business is tough work and these two are growing their business one customer at a time and I truly believe that they are taking the right steps to have one of the best operations in Saskatchewan.Over the course of the week, I saw about 20 bears of varying sizes and shapes. Most of the bears were black in color with two of the bears having some various shades of brown in the coats. Most of the bears that I saw were in the 150 to 300 lb range. I think that size is a bit deceiving. The reason why I think that is that we were filming and because of that it is very hard to stay perfectly still in the stand.
You have to watch Donald Trump call Elizabeth Hasselbeck from "The View" the dumbest person on T.V!!! and you have to listen to the fued between Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth!!!!
This morning we took off and did some fishing had two great meals and then hit the bear stands about 3pm. About 4:15pm a real small bear came into the stand and tore the place up. Max and I both got some fantastic footage and if all goes well I will have it up on Youtube and the blog by tomorrow morning! The bear was not a shooter but he sure was amazing to watch! The way he could climb that tree and move around was fascinating to watch and a real thrill. She was not the least interested in what we were doing and I don't think she even knew we were there! We are pretty sure she was a sow but might of been a real small boar. Either way we enjoyed watching here and the footage is impressive! Hopefully tomorrow we see a bigger bear come in and we will go from there! I am having a ton of fun. The fishing was horrible but the afternoon in the stand was wonderful! The food is more then I hoped for and I am going to be gaining more weight in camp! I am going to have to hit the gy
Well we are wrapping up our second day and tomorrow we hit the lake for some morning fishing on Sled Lake and then we are off to the bear stands! I am pumped! We just had our safety talk and I am ready to get into the stand. The weather is warming up and the sun is coming out. It is 9:10pm and the sun is still out and sunset should be in about 20 minutes or so.I caught my first Northern Pike this afternoon off the dock and tomorrow we are headed out on the boat to get some pike fishing and walleye fishing done! The pictures are from our day today and this is the last early night we have to get to sleep so I am headed off to bed.Johnny, our Canadian Bear Expert!Checking out the gear!Heading to the kitchen!Bobby ShipeLast Minute detailsSetting up the Rhino'sFishing in Sled LakeNot another inch or the boots are getting wet in the inside.Beaver food!Fishing for PikeMax and Bobby fishing.Joe getting ready to catch the big one!Stacy Rowe trying her hand at getting a some pike.My first
It's Sunday before the hunt and the weather is a bit rainy and cold! We had another fantastic breakfast this morning and we are sitting around talking about past hunts and enjoying bump day at Indianapolis(Indy 500) on the television! GO DANICA!!!! Otherwise its a lazy day and very enjoyable! It is so nice to be in such a comfortable camp and lodge where you can relax and with satellite television and internet access I am beginning to enjoy being spoiled by the team here at Horns! Now this muddy van is our rental car!Danny Griffen our newest hunter at camp is an old pro at hunting with this team. This is his third or fourth year here with this camp!The local puppy that came over to visit me! Not sure what the breed is but she is a beautiful puppy!Our Sleeping Lodge!Satellite TV!!!!Max and BobbyDanny GriffenWOLF RUG!A collection of the mounts in our Sleeping Lodge!

This isn't some weird thing I'm just deciding to write about, the Wench is actually growing proper Horns. From her head! I'd provide photographic proof but she won't let me near her, especially as she's going through her blossoming, adolescent phase. Maybe when they're fully grown I can get her to show them off and get a picture.In the meantime I can only guess as to why she's suddenly sprouting horns. Here are my Top 5 guesses:1. She's really a faun, her legs will start to change once the horns stop growing.2. A witch has cast a spell on her, cursing her for some insult.3. She ate some magic/radioactive substance which is giving her superpowers.4. The horns are a physical representation of her inherent evilness.5. She's the daughter of the devil, transforming into her final form as her father's time draws near.I guess I'll just have to wait and see how big they get, it might help narrow down my options. They could be useful, like for driving off criminals in a dangerous sit
Bloomington, Indiana - The function of horned beetles' wild protrusions has been a matter of some consternation for biologists. Digging seemed plausible; combat and mate selection, more likely. Even Charles Darwin* once weighed in on the matter, suggesting - one imagines with some frustration - the horns were merely ornamental.In this month's American Naturalist (December 2006) and the November 2006 issue of Evolution, Indiana University Bloomington scientists present an entirely new function for the horns: during their development, Onthophagus horned beetles use their young horns as a sort of can opener, helping them bust out of thick larval shells.The finding will surprise anyone who assumed hornless Onthophagus adults (usually the females) never form the horns in the first place. They do, the scientists say, but the nubile horn tissue is reabsorbed before the beetles' emergence as adults.'The formation of horns by beetle pupas that soon lose them just doesn't seem to make sense
The Cerveny wind instrument factory was founded in 1842 in Hradec Kralove, industrial city located 100 kilometers east of Prague. Its founder, Vaclav Frantisek Cerveny (1819 -1896) was an ingenious Czech wind instrument designer, in a field comparable with Adolph Sax (the designer of saxophone). Cerveny completed his first invention only two years after the factory was established, at the age of 25. In 1845 Cerveny constructed Bb and Cb contrabass_tubas - large bore tubas, which have been copied since. Vaclav Frantisek Cerveny made many other inventions afterwards.From the very beginning, Cerveny focused on the world market. Already in 1853 he exhibited his instruments in New York, where in the same year his younger brother Frantisek opened a branch office. Cerveny took part in many world industrial exhibitions with a great success. Cerveny instruments have consistently received highest honors.After 1948 the Cerveny factory merged into a state enterprise AMATI Kraslice, one of the worl
