It was a simple plastic box that had an on/off switch, a two-setting function switch, LED display screen that showed about twelve characters, a red notification light, a clip to attach it to the belt or waistline, and it ran on two AAA or AA batteries. Its only functions were that if someone called my number, he or she (ok, she, because this is Randy D we're talking about) would hear my greeting message and then be prompted to either leave a phone number for me to call back, a voice message for me to listen to, or both. If she left her number, it would scroll on the LED display screen until I acknowledged it, at which point it would stop scrolling and just remain there. If another call came in before I acknowledged, each number would scroll in turn, accompanied by an indicator in parenthesis showing the order of the calls (1, 2, 3). If she... less

Daniels spoke with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC about his role as Atticus Finch in the Broadway production of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” a story about racial politics and discrimination in 1930s Alabama, and spent the segment comparing his play to the country’s current political climate. “Mockingbird” is nominated for nine Tony awards and holds the record for highest-grossing American play in Broadway history.

We need to see North Korea back off of those activities, and we need to take a very strong stance on that."And while we're on the subject of Trump, here's a chance for us to discuss a real, substantive issue instead of the usual tired, inane hyperbole about what a deranged, dictatorial, about-to-be-impeached, Hitler-Mussolini-Stalin-rolled-into-one monster the guy is (I trust that I covered the most hackneyed and popular adjectives). less

Overview
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. It was once native to mainland Australia and is now found in the wild only on the island state of Tasmania, including tiny east-coast Maria Island where there is a conservation project with disease-free animals. The size of a small dog, the Tasmanian devil became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936. It is related to quolls and distantly related to the thylacine. It is characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate among the strongest bites per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are liv... less
