"Summer is a good a time as any to explore Indiana’s scenic side. If you’re looking to spend a little time with nature, there’s no better place than Turkey Run State Park. There’s a ton of things for the whole family, such as fishing, hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, and a nature center. Pack up a tent and some camping food and get lost within Turkey Run for a weekend with the family." - Harold

"RED ALERT: Bad Piggies [Free / Free (HD)] is Apple's App of The Week. As such, it's now available at the price of free instead of not-free (or 99¢, if you're keeping track at home). You'll want to grab this one, too. It's an imaginative puzzle platform game that tasks users with building fantastical machines and navigating them through a physics-enabled world to an end goal. The catch is that there's tons of obstacles around, and machines need the right parts and the construction to get past them." - Harold

"If McDonalds were to double the salaries and benefits of all of its employees, from the CEO down to the minimum wage cashiers, it would still only cost an extra 68 cents for a Big Mac, according to a new report. As fast food workers across the country are going on strike to demand a livable wage, University of Kansas research assistant Arnobio Morelix tells the Huffington Post that it would cost the average consumer mere cents to give them just that." - Harold

"The AMC Western Hell on Wheels returns Aug. 10 with a two-hour premiere that picks up in the winter of 1867. We find former confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) readying to assume control of the Union Pacific Railroad, emancipated slave Elam Ferguson (Common) wondering whether wearing a badge will be too dangerous for a new family man, and railroad impresario Thomas “Doc” Durant (Colm Meaney) scheming to get out of jail and back into business. Here are 10 things you can look forward to in season 3:" - Harold

"Falling televisions send thousands of children to hospital emergency rooms every year, a new analysis shows. In the worst possible cases — as happened in San Antonio last week — a child dies. Based on data collected from U.S. hospital emergency departments, the report in the August issue of Pediatrics, published online Monday, shows that falling TVs accounted for 12,300 injuries among children under age 18 in 2011, up 126% from 5,455 injuries in 1990." - Harold

Wow. I guess it is the most common piece of furniture, though. - Eivind

Probably it is for a lot of folks still, but we got rid of our largest one and the only remaining medium-sized TV in our house has been banished to our basement now. No screen time for Maxwell until after he's 3 (and probably still a limited amount at that point and beyond). - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"The long wait is finally over for visitors who have been yearning for a whiff of a giant flower that smells oddly like rotting flesh. The giant rainforest plant known as a "corpse flower" for its terrible smell began blooming Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Botanic Garden next to the Capitol. Experts had been anticipating its bloom for more than a week and have extended the garden's hours for visitors." - Harold

Is that the one in Dennis the Menace? - Melly #FForever

I want to see a titan arum in person. I'll try to make it happen eventually. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"If you’ve gone to the movies recently, you may have felt a strangely familiar feeling: You’ve seen this movie before. Not this exact movie, but some of these exact story beats: the hero dressed down by his mentor in the first 15 minutes (Star Trek Into Darkness, Battleship); the villain who gets caught on purpose (The Dark Knight, The Avengers, Skyfall, Star Trek Into Darkness); the moment of hopelessness and disarray a half-hour before the movie ends (Olympus Has Fallen, Oblivion, 21 Jump Street, Fast & Furious 6). It’s not déjà vu. Summer movies are often described as formulaic. But what few people know is that there is actually a formula—one that lays out, on a page-by-page basis, exactly what should happen when in a screenplay. It’s as if a mad scientist has discovered a secret process for making a perfect, or at least perfectly conventional, summer blockbuster." - Harold

""It's going to get insane very quickly." That's the head's up from showrunner Scott M. Gimple when it comes to the new season of "The Walking Dead." And you might want to take "head's up" literally: AMC's zombie series is never afraid to let the blood flow, as illustrated by the new trailer debuted at Comic-Con." - Harold

"Last month, 50,000 bumble bees died after trees in Wilsonville, Oregon were sprayed with dinotefuran, the neonicotinoid ingredient in Safari pesticide. This was the largest bee die-off ever recorded. With bee populations declining across the around the country at an alarming rate, I urge you to support the "Save America's Pollinators Act" to restrict the use of these chemicals until we can be assured that they are safe and being used properly." - Harold

"The groom had two simple rules for his Norwegian bachelor party: no parachuting and no bungee jumping. So what did the groom's trusty cohort do? They cooked up the most creative bachelor party prank we've ever seen. The groomsmen blindfolded the acrophobic groom and told him they were taking him to an old bridge where he'd have to bungee jump. Little did he know, he was in a friend's lawn about to jump into a kiddie pool from a death-defying height of four inches." - Harold

Buy it, Harold, buy... No price tag? That's because free food at animal farms isn't free. And Google ain't worse than any other free service. - piikummitus

"The shortraker rockfish (Sebastes borealis) can grow to 48 in. (120 cm) in size and reach 50.6 lb. (23 kg) in weight, making them one of the largest rockfishes. Shortrakers smaller than 14 in. (35 cm) are rarely found. The shortraker name refers to their knob-tipped stubby gill rakers, and its Arctic habitat inspired the Latin name borealis, meaning "northern"." - Harold

"The Supreme Court justices are not elected and they're certainly not God, so why are we letting them decide what is and is not constitutional? This seemed to be the main thrust of the Republican reaction to SCOTUS striking down DOMA and Prop 8 this week, and John Oliver was having none of it. "The whole point of the Supreme Court is to keep us in check. Sometimes we as a nation make bad decisions." Oliver explained. Oliver also took issue with the notion put forth by Congressman Louis Gohmert of Texas that the decision goes against nature. "The Daily Show" host quickly squashed that by showing exactly what nature's idea of sex is." - Harold
