Enchanted Valley Chalet in Olympic National Park, Washington.
From Cheryl Hill:
This building was once used as a backcountry hotel but these days if you want to sleep in the Enchanted Valley you need to bring your own roof: a tent. The chalet is now used as a headquarters for the park rangers.

Researchers “Upgrade” Fly DNA to Produce Proteins Not Found in Nature
The genetic code of the fruit fly Drosophila has been hacked into, allowing it to make proteins with properties that don’t exist in the natural world. The advance could ultimately lead to the creation of new or “improved” life forms in the burgeoning field of synthetic biology.
…Chin’s team has engineered fruit flies that incorporated three new amino acids into proteins in the cells of their ovaries. The flies were engineered using bacteria that had been modified to insert the genetic code for the unnatural amino acid into the fly DNA.
There was no apparent impact on the flies’ health, and they even produced healthy offspring that also made the new protein chains.
“This work provides a very significant expansion on our capability to manipulate and alter proteins involved in specific cellular and developmental processes. It will provide new insights into human disease mechanisms, memory and ageing.”

Foo Fighters - My Hero
too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down
and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he’s ordinary
don’t the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
kudos my hero
leaving all the best
you know my hero
the one that’s on
take your pictures down
and shake it out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he’s ordinary
don’t the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out
truth or consequence, say it aloud
use that evidence race it around
kudos my hero
leaving all the best
you know my hero
the one that’s on

Foo Fighters - Times Like These
I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone
it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again
I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?
it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again
I’m the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone
it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again
I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?
it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again

Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in… again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It’s never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
[Chorus (x2):]
What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
In time or so I’m told
I’m just another soul for sale… oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story
[Chorus x2]
I’m the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right
I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
[Chorus x2]
[x2]
What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all… pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in… again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It’s never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
[Chorus (x2):]
What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

I’m the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

Yeah, who are you?
