8 votes received and thanks to all who took part! The question was Which team should Supergirl join? and the results were: 1 for the Teen Titans 1 for the JSA 3 for the Birds of Prey 3 for her to stay solo I think the Teen Titans are the obvious choice for her, and I would love to see Kara interact with Bombshell and Aquagirl. Bombshell doesn't take kindly to anyone much, and I think she'd view Kara...

Staffordshire Hoard on temporary display

a from l (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

Above: I went to see some of the items from the Staffordshire Hoard on temporary display at the British Museum. Although I picked a time (just before closing) when the museum is usually fairly empty it was still difficult to get near them. In particular there was a party of elderly French people who leaned over the cabinets with no sign of moving, as if they were mesmerised by the gold. Above: I think...

Industrial Park Wildlife

Chicago Boyz (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

I have written many times about how amazing I think it is that wildlife can thrive in urban settings. In my industrial park I have seen all types of crazy things that seem certainly out of place. This time of year the geese show up, migrating from the north. We are near several bodies of [...]

A EURASIANET AUDIO SLIDESHOW BY TEMO BARDZIMASHVILI Almost every day, Ramiz Beridze, a 78-year-old widower, climbs a hill in his native region of Achara, a Georgian province on the Black Sea, to set a net for birds of prey. Falconry is the only thing that he does and the only thing he enjoys. But Berdize's hobby -- a traditional sport across Georgia -- raises questions about Achara's status as one...

Sacramento Bee (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

Christine Adams, a volunteer at the California Raptor Center, holds Spar, a male American kestrel. If you discover an injured bird, take the advice offered by many wildlife centers: Find a box with a lid and poke some holes in it. Line it with newspaper – after you've read it, of course. Keep the bird warm, and bring it to a rehabilitation center. While the bird mends, the staff and volunteers...

These are the box arts of Star Trek Online

Massively (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009

Okay, well there's only one of them, so saying, "these are the box arts" was more of an excuse to make a Trek reference. However, we do find ourselves wondering if there should be more than one cover here, since half the game is dedicated to Klingon play. Sure, you've got some Birds of Prey in the background, but the iconic Federation logo, Constitution-like ship and Captain are most obviously...

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?

A BRIT IN SPAIN (Free subscription) | 14/11/2009

We had a lovely morning in Torrevieja last Sunday along with quite a lot of other people. It was such a nice sunny, warm day we decided to have a walk along the front, out on the harbor wall and a look around the marina. Although there are signs of the economic crisis hitting business it was still very lively, especially for the time of year. Would be nicer if the local council and police got to grips...
