The Hunt for the Death Valley Germans This is the tale of what for me was a rather remarkable adventure. It was assembled on the basis of my personal recollection and experience, emails, GPS logs and some official documents. It represents solely the perspective and opinions of myself, in my more lucid moments. It is in no way intended to represent the position of the Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit, nor any other agency mentioned. Further, my usual writing style tends to be somewhat lighthearted and flippant, which would be somewhat at odds with the serious and tragic nature of the incident being reported. As part of due diligence I need to add an important note. 5min - Find the best how to, instructional and DIY videos – Life Videopedia Up next 0:34 0:45 2:03 1:30 1:01 0:59 0:48 0:56 0:35 1:18 1:12 Caption Languages English Background Transparency Jessica Simpson rocks same Gucci pencil skirt she wore 19 years ago: ‘Remember this?’ Jessica Simpson rocks same Gucci pencil skirt she wore 19 years ago: ‘Remember this?’ Jessica Simpson is not a one-and-done wearer. 0:34 0:45 2:03 1:30 1:01 0:59 0:48 0:56 0:35 1:18 1:12

The bizarre strategies of hitch-hiking clams To many of us, bivalves such as freshwater mussels seem like the antithesis of biological cunning; armored lumps of slimy meat that do little more than lie on river bottoms and sift food from the surrounding muck. Many species, however, begin their lives parasitically in the bodies of fish, and employ a wide variety of bizarre, aggressive tactics to lure their hosts. Generally unable to move of their own accord, the parasite larva or glochidium can do little more than clamp down on the first thing that brushes by its cute little jaws, sometimes equipped with vicious fangs and an adhesive tongue. Once attached, the host's skin will grow to encase the tiny hitchhiker, which remains for days or weeks until ready to drop off and settle down as a young mussel. Other species even allow themselves to be swallowed, and settle in the digestive tract where they may absorb nutrients until they are excreted. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking here.
