Whew…. just spent my day off building three saltbox birdhouses and a wren house. I had to replace a birdhouse that the Bluebirds had raised three broods out of, but it was so old it could not have stood another season since it had cracked and the only thing holding it together was the roof and the floor. I built the new one from cedar whereas the old one was made out of purple heartwood that I got from a pallet from South America. Maybe the Bluebirds will accept it since I placed it back on the same pole early so it would weather a little before they return. The other two saltboxes where placed in the backyard in different locations for whatever wants to build there, and the Wren box in a dogwood in the front yard. Maybe I should put a sign on it "For Wrent"?
The weather in Chattanooga had rained for 9 -10 days straight so all this was my remedy for cabin fever.
Next project will be to paint the Purple martin house white, and give it a good cleaning. Then the great backyard bird count. I must keep reminding myself that spring is not so far away……
They sound good,can you post pictures?Here's my martin house I made about 5 years ago and it still has not found a home.
This was not a container,I made it from scratch including the lid.
That martin House looks Awesome. My Salt Box houses are just garden variety. I did manage to repair the old one I intended to replace with the others by replacing the front board, the bottom and the top. So maybe I can get a few more years out of it. I did see the bluebirds looking in the new one before I replaced it with with the old one they were used to. Now I will put the new one in the front yard and maybe get two sets of bluebirds nesting. We'll see.

Hinamori Amu is a stylish punk rock girl who is liked and feared by her peers, but there's just one problem: she's actually a shy and quiet girl who can't seem to drop her self-fabricated facade! But when Amu finds three eggs in her bed, she had no idea her life would change forever. Out of the eggs pop Ran, Miki and Su, Amu's Guardian Charas; these being represent parts of Amu that she wishes she could be, even allowing Amu to transform into those parts at will! Now, with pressure from the other Guardians (including her crush, Hotori) to join their midst, dark sides of the psyche known as X Eggs to seal, and nefarious forces after a wish-granting egg known as the embryo, Amu's life has officially become more complicated!

I have absolutely no business liking Shugo Chara!. The series is aimed primarily at an audience with approximately half my age and precisely double my X-chromosomes, and at no point does it betray its target market by veering wildly off the well-trodden mahou shoujo path.

It's Official: Science More Popular Than Cricket
Australian science is now more popular than cricket "" at least among Facebook fans.
In the latest worldwide Facebook rankings, science from Australia and New Zealand has overhauled Cricket Australia and opened up daylight ahead of pop idols Danii Minogue and Silver Chair, and Australia's bid to host the world soccer cup.
"There couldn't be any better news in National Science Week," says Chris Cassella, managing director of ScienceAlert, which this week notched up a third of a million fans on Facebook worldwide. "See it for yourself on www.famecount.com/facebook-rank/Australia?page=2"
"It shows that social media is an entirely new, massive audience for science "" and one that it really hasn't yet got its head around. Since we passed the quarter million mark early in August, our fans have been growing at a net rate of several thousand a day: it's part of a generational change in how people are getting their information."
Mr Cassella said the news was even better when it came to the world rankings of news websites. "Incredibly, Sciencealert has actually overhauled TIME magazine and, at 19th in the world among news site Facebook fans, and we're mowing down The Wall Street Journal." www.famecount.com/facebook-rank/Worldwide/News
There was a growing appetite among young internet users aged 13-25 to learn about the latest science in "Ëœbite-sized chunks', he added. "That's what ScienceAlert's Facebook site provides "" but it also links them to the ScienceAlert website where people can find more detailed stories about the latest achievements of Australasian research from our universities, science agencies, centres and institutions "" as well as information about jobs and courses."
Many scientific institutions still seem unsure about social media and how to connect with it, says ScienceAlert founder Julian Cribb. "If you're at the cutting edge in science, you need to be at the cutting edge in contemporary knowledge sharing also. Otherwise your science doesn't achieve full traction and impact. It's that simple.
"Also, people's online behaviour is changing. They are now less likely to actively search out content "" and more likely to use sites like Facebook as their primary way to discover new things. We need to ensure that the information they find and share with one another is scientifically valid, trustworthy and evidence-based "" so that we have an informed society able to reach sound decisions about big issues."
Mr Cassella said that not only were ScienceAlert facebook fans learning about Australasian science, but they were also engaging with it "" by "Ëœliking', sharing, commenting and clicking through for more detail. "This isn't a passive audience by any means. The beauty of new media is that, unlike TV ratings or newspaper circulation, you actually know something about what people are doing with the information they get. The analytics are excellent."
He said that Australasian science institutions who wanted to know how people were reacting to new university courses or science employment offers could find out vastly more by using new media than old media.
"There's a talent war going on among the top universities and science centres worldwide. Those who don't attract the best students or recruit the most brilliant staff are likely to be the also-rans of science. Conversely those that can pull the talent globally have the best chance of being the leaders who shape tomorrow."

PALM CITY, Fla. — After two rounds at the Valspar Invitational, the Texas A&M men's golf team holds a share of eighth place. The Aggies are eight strokes off the leader, Oklahoma State (-14), going into Tuesday's final round at the Floridian Golf Club.
"We fought hard today," Texas A&M head coach J.T. Higgins said. "We made some really bad swings at inopportune times that really cost us and didn't capitalize on the par-5s. Any time we got some momentum going we had something come up that really derailed us, but the guys continued to fight hard and stay in contention. If we can put together a solid round tomorrow we'll post a good finish in a great field. I liked what I saw today and can say we're getting better."
Texas A&M (277-285=562, -6) opened the tournament shooting seven-under par in the first round and one-over in the second round. Sophomore Andrew Lister (68-67=140) turned in the Aggies' best scorecard, shooting seven-under and four strokes off the leader. The San Diego native is currently tied for fourth.
"Andrew Lister was really solid today with back-to-back rounds," Higgins added. "He did a terrific job today keeping the ball in play off the tee to give himself a lot of birdie opportunities. I'm really excited for him, he played great today."
Adria Arnaus (67-73=140, -2) also finished under par for the maroon and white. The sophomore from Barcelona is tied for 19th while senior Johannes Veerman (69-74=143) finished at one-over for the Aggies, notching 24 pars through 36 holes.
Junior Greg Yates (73-72=145, +3, t-52nd) and sophomore Ben Crancer (73-73=146, +4, t-60th) rounded out the Texas A&M scorecard at the event.
Florida State's Jack Maguire led all individuals in the tournament, shooting a 65 and 66, good for an 11-under mark after the first two rounds.
The Aggies will conclude the tournament Tuesday morning at 8:40 (CT) with the Aggies stepping to the tee box alongside golfers from Tennessee and Florida State. Live scoring for the event will be available at GolfStat.com.

Reading Rooms
'The new Turner Contemporary gallery, combined with a stylish place to rest your head at the Reading Rooms and great restaurants such as Age & Sons in nearby Ramsgate, make for a quirky cultural getaway,' says Sophie. James agrees that it's 'a brilliant example of the Great British seaside revival: a smart Georgian townhouse B&B, with claw-foot tubs and Penguin Classics by the bed, in the bright-and-breezy coast town that's home to a renewed creative vigour.'

Burnley chief Paul Fletcher cannot rule out more players leaving Turf Moor this summer.
Defender Clarke Carlisle has been linked with Blackpool, despite recently penning a new two-year deal.
Fletcher told the Lancashire Telegraph: "We only want players who want to be with us.
"It's hard to keep players now who don't want to be at a club, but if people want to be here they are more than welcome.
"It seems nowadays, though, that players move clubs and as soon as they do their agents are looking to move them again. In my time, if you were offered a contract you did a somersault and took your wife out for a celebration.
"But it's not like that now. Agents are putting their names around all the time. It's a constant thing and it happens to all clubs.
"I think players move too quickly now and you don't get that affinity and that bond with fans."
