Cockroaches quickly lose sweet tooth to survive

Sounds like an ad for commercial pesticides.

I eliminated a major infestation indoors and outdoors a few years back. Best we could tell, a roach family came in with old boxes or inside grocery containers and went about multiplying with a vengeance.

Karo, mixed with boric acid powder did the job. Glad the little suckers couldn't read.

Atheists to put books next to Bibles in Ga. parks

[quote][b]Farmer GA[/b] -

Well, Atheism is a religion, so, have at it.

[/quote]

religion c.1200, "state of life bound by monastic vows," also "conduct indicating a belief in a divine power," from Anglo-Fr. religiun (11c.), from O.Fr. religion "religious community," from L. religionem (nom. religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods," in L.L. "monastic life" (5c.); according to Cicero, derived from relegare "go through again, read again," from re- "again" + legere "read" (see lecture). However, popular etymology among the later ancients (and many modern writers) connects it with religare "to bind fast" (see rely), via notion of "place an obligation on," or "bond between humans and gods." Another possible origin is religiens "careful," opposite of negligens. Meaning "particular system of faith" is recorded from c.1300.

Spanish and English literacy efforts potentially stifled by immigration laws, attorneys say

A little more mean spirited-ness is what is needed. Sweetness slash exploitation is what has mired us into this mess.

House group finalizing immigration bill

We still do not see any discussion as to what will be done about the majority of trespassers that will be unqualified or unwilling to abide by the law. There will be millions that will not fit into the "pathway". What does the media and our "leadership" say or do about that?

@toofunny:

It's time to turn back the clock 70-80 yrs and bring back chain gang days. Today's current convicts don't fear the system. The liberals have watered down the system so much that prison has become a temporary "time-out" for thugs.

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more
