"our" Mike was on TV
Long time resident of this ng, Michael Waldovogel (sorry Mike, at
least it's close) was on the channel 5 news tonight talking about spiders. It was fun to say, "I know him!" It was also gross to see that HUGE spider they kept showing (omg, I would move out if that one came visiting!). Congrats on appearing intelligent despite the fact that they only showed about 1 minute of the interview! Jeny |

I know a another potential star related to this newsgroup. My wife Amy will
appear on Jeopardy 10-6. I know some of you guys have to be Jeopardy fans. See if I'll get that new tiller I've been wanting. -- Baine "Raleighgirl" wrote in message m...

They are taking over the proch - but we adore spiders and can't bear to discourage them. So many different kinds I've never seen before! There was one earlier in the summer which was teeny with a little spot of glowing metallic gold color - beautiful! Is there a good key to spiders in NC? -- Susan Hogarth http://www.tribeagles.org |

WOW Baine, that's neat! I'll be sure to watch. I know it's off
topic yet I'm curious to hear about the process one goes through to get onto Jeopardy... if you have time.

You apply online and then they have regional contestant interviews. Whe went to Atlanta where they give you a test with similar questions that you might find on jeopardy. Those who pass the test, in Amy's case only 10 out of 90+, have a mock Jeopardy contest. They pick 400 people out of 25,000 for this years show. We went to LA a couple of months ago where they tape the shows. The rest is history. -- Baine "Raleighgirl" wrote in message ... WOW Baine, that's neat! I'll be sure to watch.

If they showed any longer segment, I'd sound less intelligent
and more like my usual self. Regarding the post about ID books for spiders - I use two references. An actual identification key is the book "How to Know the Spiders" by Benjamin Kaston. It is/was a spiral bound softback last published in 1978, but it is still available. It's not specifically about NC, but it's very good. The second reference is the Golden Guide Series book - 'Spiders and Their Kin' by Herbert Levi. Your can't beat a good picture-based guide book. We NCSUers prefer to look picture books and leave the fancy reading to the folks at that college over in Chapel Hill.

I just love the marbled orb-weavers. They make a web in my kitchen
window and I can watch them weaving while I do the dishes. But the other morning I got up, and one had come under the screen door near my bedroom and made a web (which I ran into) across my bedroom doorway! I got my trusty aquarium net and took her back outside. They are heavy! She squirmed all the way downstairs and out. Those wolf tunnel spiders are the ones I can do without. Kira |
