An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog that just may be
the biggest pig ever found.
Jamison Stone's father says the hog his son killed weighed a 1,051 pounds
and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail.
Think hams as big as car tires.
If the claims are accurate, Jamison's trophy boar would be bigger than
Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions

我去过smoky四次,红叶萤火虫都看过,hiking,camping都去过不少地方,给个建议吧,
其实看红叶最好的时间是10月的第三个周末,所以推迟一周会更好,当然12号到15号也
不错的。看样子是第一次去,Cades Cove还不错,就是下午很堵,最好安排早上,最远

非常清楚,被打落牙齿和血吞的日子也不少,比方说,今年春季四次远征NH,Newfound

上个周末带老爸老妈去了一趟great smoky mountain,整理出来一些图片,顺便写个简
单游记。
大雾山位于田纳西河北卡交界处,是整个美东每年访问量最大的一个国家公园。号称
hicking heaven,以生物多样性著称。著名的蓝脊公路(blue ridge pkway)也终于此
处。东海岸没有高山,但是此处群山环绕,也阻挡了北上的暖湿气流,因而山中终年云
雾缭绕,远远望去,恍如仙境。
我们到的时候恰好是5月底,乃是一年当中水量最为丰沛的时候。山中颇多瀑布溪流,
山中很多公路也是挨着溪流蜿蜒向前。
公园里面的山脉是东西走向,南北长约35 mile。 441号公路横贯其中。Newfound gap
正好位于路的中段,乃是整个美东最高的山峰。此处视野开阔,可以俯瞰群山.
Cades Cove是很受欢迎的一条loop。这里有很多先民遗迹和丰富的物种。

我不觉得需要开SUV,我们就是一个mid size的小车

Bluffs的洞那2迈多很好走,坡度不大。不过山顶的风景比半山腰好太多。要是全走下
来大概10迈多一些,我们当时走了将近6个小时,包括山顶逗留半个多小时,还有中途
各景点搔首弄姿照相。另外下山下雨走的慢,要是天气好,不需要这么久。
也没啥必去的点,我觉得很多地方风景都差不多。有时间走走blue ridge parkway进山
,没时间就算了。要去Cades Cove就趁早,否则里面车开得慢压着你急死人。
其他的点,Clingmans Dome, Newfound Gap,可以参考版面其他帖子,最近大雾山的帖

其实最直接的就是一去先问visitor center,告诉他们你想要看的东西。他们会根据你

今天看到旅游版上有人转过去一篇参赛文章,才知道这个活动。看了一下活动规则才发
现原来今天是最后一天,我也赶快赶在截止之前来凑个热闹。我所有的照片都是出自同
一器材——Canon SD870 IS。这种卡片机根本不可能进这里的大侠们的法眼,估计是不
是很多人都没听说过啊。而且我们的摄影知识几乎为零,又不会后期处理,所以照片质
量就可想而知了,所以发在摄影器材版纯粹就是重在参与了,呵呵。
不过我们去过的公园数量够多(一共32个),而且很集中(前24个都是在2009年12月到
2010年12月这13个月里面用同一张年票去的)。估计如果要评选年票最佳利用率的话我
们可以当选。由于每个公园只允许选一张照片,很多公园实在是很难取舍。而且很多公
园有些标志性景点,估计大家都会选用,所以我尽量选一些希望能有点与众不同的照片
放在这里。我的游记里有更多照片,大家如果有兴趣的话欢迎去旅游版捧场。
因为MITBBS发帖限制附件总大小在1MB以内,而活动规定又说照片短边不能小于600像素
。我把所有的照片都调成800x600,总大小还是5.5MB以上。所以只能先在这个帖子里面
给个列表,后面回帖分批上照片了。... 阅读全帖

Palestinian stonethrowers wound Jewish baby
Wednesday, August 25, 2010 | Israel Today Staff
Palestinian Arab stone throwers attacked a Jewish vehicle south of the
Judean town of Hebron on Tuesday, wounding an infant passenger.
Israeli army medics treated the baby at the scene, but decided the child
needed to be evacuated to a Jerusalem hospital for further treatment.
While such an attack by Jews on an Arab family likely would have made
headlines around the world, Tuesday's attacks by Arabs on ... 阅读全帖

If I should win the jackpot, do I have the option of remaining anonymous as
far as the public and the media are concerned?
In most states, lottery winner information is public domain, therefore it is
public information. Publicized information normally includes the jackpot w
inner's name, city, county, game in which they won, date won, and the amount
of the prize.
After you win the jackpot, we recommend seeking the professional guidance of

There are two lessons we can learn from the Dutch woman who was recently
charged with stalking for calling her ex-boyfriend 65,000 in one year: One,
if you don't have an unlimited cell plan, it's time to switch. And two,
getting dumped doesn't give you license to go loca and commit these post-

I'm reading Deepak Chopra's book in grieving my father, a frequent surfer of

interpretation of many concepts of Buddhism, e.g. karma, enlightenment,
incarcenation, etc. The book offers so much comfort by helping me
understand his form of existence now and feel his spirits around me. The
book is so beautifully written --
The afterlife is a place of newfound clarity.

defensive naval strategy, in an apparent attempt to ease regional concerns
that the vessel could be used to enforce Chinese territorial claims.

After a decade when other astronomical targets got more attention, the Milky
Way has come back into vogue as a hot research subject in the new millennium,
leading to a whole new picture of how the galaxy formed, how unimaginably
huge it is, and what it looks like from afar.
"There's been a renaissance in studying the Milky Way," says Steven Majewski,
an astronomer at the University of Virginia who specializes in the structure
of the galaxy.
As a result of the newfound interest, astronomers are r
