"The Eagle Nebula Combining almost opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, this composite of the Herschel in far-infrared and XMM-Newton’s X-ray images shows how the hot young stars detected by the X-ray observations are sculpting and interacting with the surrounding ultra-cool gas and dust, which, at only a few degrees above absolute zero, is the critical material for star formation itself. Both wavelengths would be blocked by Earth’s atmosphere, so are critical to our understanding of the lifecycle of stars Image Credit: ESA/Herschel/PACS/SPIRE/Hill, Motte, HOBYS Key Programme Consortium" - Demetrios the Traveller from Bookmarklet

Iron Hill's Porter is only available at one of their restaurants in PA or DE. Moose Drool is, sadly, not available in the eastern half of the country, though you can get it online at a number of places. - Vicarbott

"What’s the News: We’ve long had signs that when it comes to inheritance, DNA isn’t the be-all, end-all. Trees that have the exact same genes but were raised in different greenhouses behave differently. Worms with genes that impart long life can pass on that longevity to their progeny—even if they don’t pass on the genes. Both of these phenomena, we’ve discovered, come from  epigenetic changes in tags attached to DNA that control whether genes get expressed. But every now and then we get a whiff of other possible routes for inheritance, even stranger than that. A new paper in Cell reports that worms whose grandparents had the ability to fight viruses  using a fleet of tiny RNA molecules retain these molecules even when they don’t have the genes for them. They can pass these molecules down for more than a hundred generations." - Eivind from Bookmarklet

"Shoo-fly pie is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch pie. I fell in love with this pie the very first time I tasted it 6 years ago. We were driving through some farm land in Lancaster, PA and we saw a little vegetable stand by the road side and we stopped to get some fresh produce. There was this little Amish boy taking care of the stand and beside vegetables he sells pies too. One particular pie caught my eyes as it look different from the rest of the pies. He told me it was Shoo-fly Pie. The name sounds funny to me so I bought half a pie home to try it out. I actually like the taste of the pie. It has a nice molasses flavor, cakey like on the side and gooey and soft at the center. Here is a bit of history on this unique pie." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

I had this once in Amish country in 1995. I'm pretty sure I still have the cavities. - Jessie

Shoo-fly pie is awesome. - John (bird whisperer)

beautiful. I love autumn - Winckel

I feel so alone. I think I am the only person on FF who doesn't love this dark, damp season. - Eivind

No one likes the dark damp season . We talk about shiny colorful and a liitle cold season. - Mary from iPhone

"A study published online last spring in Insect Conservation and Diversity shows a decrease in Mexico’s overwintering monarch butterflies between 1994 and 2011. The butterflies face loss of wintering habitat in Mexico and breeding habitat in the United States. Extreme weather, like winter storms in Mexico and the ongoing drought in Texas, adds yet another challenge. The seeds of the decline date back more than 40 years as commercial and subsistence logging—now illegal in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve—have fragmented the forest on which the butterflies depend for winter survival. Between 1971 and 1999, logging degraded 44 percent of the high-quality overwintering habitat within the reserve." - John (bird whisperer) from Bookmarklet

"Loss of breeding habitat also is a concern. The common milkweed, a flower of eastern and midwestern U.S. fields and gardens, is the main host for monarch eggs and larvae. Growing numbers of large-scale farms use genetically modified and pesticide-resistant crops, so milkweed interlopers have nearly disappeared from the fields of corn and soybean that carpet the midwestern U.S. “There’s... more... - John (bird whisperer)

"Not all brain regions are created equal – instead, a "rich club" of 12 well-connected hubs orchestrates everything that goes on between your ears. This elite cabal could be what gives us consciousness. (...) As part of an ongoing effort to map the human "connectome" – the full network of connections in the brain (...) The researchers (....) found 12 areas of the brain had significantly more connections than all the others, both to other regions and among themselves."These 12 regions have twice the connections of other brain regions, and they're more strongly connected to each other than to other regions," (...) "If we wanted to look for consciousness in the brain, I would bet on it turning out to be this rich club," (...) The elite group consists of six pairs of identical regions, with one of each pair in each hemisphere of the brain. Each member is known to accept only preprocessed, high-order information, rather than raw incoming sensory data. (...)" - Amira from Bookmarklet

"This network makes the way the brain functions more robust overall, but it could also leave the entire system vulnerable to breakdown if key hubs are damaged or disabled, says Van den Heuvel. (...) After mapping the connections, Van den Heuvel's team manipulated the data to see what might happen if parts of the rich club were damaged. The simulated brain lost three times as much... more... - Amira

"When Phyllis Boyson first heard about the Threshold Choir of Napa Valley, she thought it sounded “a little morbid.” The Threshold Choir is a group of about 16 women who sing to the ill and dying. The women, who are all volunteers, sing in pairs or small groups in private homes, care facilities and hospitals when invited by family or caregivers. Boyson admitted she cried through the first several songs before she fell in love with the choir and its music, which she now calls “heart-opening.” She joined the choir three years ago, and one of the first clients Boyson sung to was a woman who was in a lot of pain but was still articulate and aware of her surroundings. “She told us what she was experiencing, and that (our singing) took away her pain,” Boyson said. “She could talk about how our songs were helping prepare her for her own death.” During each visit, the women typically sing 10 songs that are two minutes apiece. The songs are non-denominational and written for a different stage of dying." - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet

"There is something rare and elusive on the ceiling of Rouffignac Cave in southern France, something that at first looked like etchings of undulating snakes or bending waterways or even strangely shimmying humans, but that now turn out to be something far more ephemeral and wondrous to my eyes—works of art by very young apprentices: giggling, squirming, skittering Ice-Age children." - Maitani from Bookmarklet
