Western is unique in its forensics program because it has a facility where corpses are dumped and allowed to decompose so students can study them.

The site provides invaluable experience for forensic students. They get to work hands on with an actual human corpse and see the rate of decomposition.

The research at Western will give a better understanding of how bodies decompose in the North Carolina mountains.

Tyco in your description you say "This bridge is on an abandoned track that used to serve a port that has been filled in with silt."

But it looks like an active line to me. Can you back up your claim that this line is abandoned?

Very cool. Must add to my 'Next time I'm in England' list.

All yellowcake is 'low grade'. It's unrefined. The level of refinement makes the potency.

Bodark is another name for the Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) tree. It's a corruption of the French 'Bois d'arc' or Tree for (archery) bows.

That line of trees the arc cuts through is almost certainly Osage Orange. It was widely planted as a hedge or windbreak many years ago.

THE symphony of Manhattan Island, composed and performed fortissimo daily by garbage trucks, car speakers, I-beam bolters, bus brakes, warped manhole covers, knocking radiators, people yelling from high windows and the blaring television that now greets you in the back of a taxi, is the kind of music people would pay good money to be able to silence, if only there were a switch.

Well, I just went up and down the street and saw no blue bags or blue carts. It's probably not recycling day.

In Chicago, *blue* carts are used for recycling: http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/webportal/portalEntityHomeAction.do?entityName=Recycling+Chicago&entityNameEnumValue=148

So garbage and recyclables probably go out on different days.
