The More Things Change…
Old-school crop circles, from Bailey’s of course:
FAI’RY Circle, or FAIRY Ring, an appearance pretty frequently seen in the fields, &c. being a kind of round, supposed by the vulgar to be traced by fairies in their dances. There are two sorts of these rings or circles; one of them is about seven or eight yards in diameter, being a round bare path about a foot in breadth, having green grass in the middle; the other is of different sizes, being encompassed with a circumference of grass, much fresher and greener than that in the middle.
The philosophers suppose these rings to be made by lightening, and this opinion seems to be confirmed, in that they are most frequently found after storms, and the colour and brittleness of the grassy roots is a further confirmation.
The second kind of circle they suppose to rise originally from the first, in that the grass that had been burnt up by lightening, usually grows more plentiful afterwards; some authors say, that these fairy rings are formed by ants; these insects being sometimes found travelling in troops therein.
OED sez these are caused by “certain fungi”. Basically the rings seem to come about because of the underground spread of mycelial webs from a central point. Among others, the fairy ring toadstool (also called mushroom, champignon) can spread in this way. But if fairies are your theory, the presence of mushrooms in these circles is unlikely to surprise you or change your thinking about the rings’ origins: everybody knows the two go together.

Fairy circles also appear as preternaturally perfectly round rings of old trees with a clearing in the center. Katja and Nixon have one in their woods. Could it be Stonehenge is less a giant vagina than an attempt to make a manmade, more permanent fairy circle?

Giant Vagina? I thought it was some sort of astro(logy|nomy) thing?
August 26th, 2003 at 6:14 pm
Oh, I see. Far out! Unfortunately, Bailey doesn’t have anything about Stonehenge that I can find. And OED doesn’t have anything except a couple passing mentions of kings being buried there. So I’m fresh out of ideas 🙂

Well, if you are looking for your own vacation home, there’s a really nice place in Rehoboth Beach. I stayed there one summer and it’s just perfect. It’s a very roomy three bedroom home with a deck and all the trimmings. Best part about this place is that it has a mother in law suite with a separate entrance. The suite has its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. So you could pay your mortgage by renting it out, while still having a place to call your own. So, take a look: http://www.homeinrehoboth.net They have lots of photos there.

Weight gaining diet ? muscle building diet
There are number of people around the world spending millions of dollars each year on magazines, books, and weight gain supplements. Gaining weight is not an overnight job. It requires a commitment from you, but does not have to be hard if you work out and well balanced diet.
Also there are numerous people, continually searching for the fastest ways to gain weight and building muscle but they don?t know what to eat, how to eat and for how long to eat.
If you really want to gain weight and keep it for life then make a diet plan and a proper workout regimen.
A proper diet plan must include protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Protein is a major component of any diet designed to add body weight. Some excellent sources of protein are lean red meats, fish, poultry, lean beef, turkey and eggs. Try to eat 3 to 5 small meals per day containing large amounts of protein. Protein is also essential for repairing old muscle tissues and building new ones.
Weight training is also essential for building new muscle tissue. Never try to replace a weight gain supplement with meal use it after a workout, in between meals, or as a snack. Supplements for weight gain are only beneficial when they are used in conjunction with proper diet and perfect weight training regimen.
At last, increase your calorie intake and try to make a healthy diet plan ? combination of proper diet, perfect weight training program and plenty of sleep for effective muscle building and weight gain. LoseWeight

It was hard for us to travel out of town because we didn’t have a car. It was my wife who suggested that we could just rent a car at a car rental shop. It wasn’t really that expensive and it was a good decision to make because we really needed it. Thanks to my wife! My boss owned a Nissan Navarra but it broke down when we had a business travel last month. We needed to make another travel and so one of my colleagues recommended that we would just rent a car. It was a good idea since we really need to make the trip. We were thankful that we got to rent a car.
