1. Nuts -- Miscellaneous

2. Chuck Norris -- People
   It comes as no surprise that Chuck Norris was named "Veteran of the Year" at the American Veteran awards show. Chuck Norris is famous as a world champion martial artist, and movie and television star. What many people don't know is that Norris is ... very dedicated to the military community.

4. Boone, Daniel -- Shawnee Indians
   "The name Daniel Boone will forever be synonymous with the saga of the American frontier. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Boone was the inveterate wayfarer who achieved lasting fame guiding land-hungry settlers to the Kentucky frontier and fighting to defend them against Indian attack." This single-page biography has an interesting set of links at the bottom of the page that point to articles from the Historical Society of Berks County, Pennsylvania. Best bets for additional exploration are Early Years of Daniel Boone, Story of Benjamin Franklin's Mortgage on the Daniel Boone Farm, and Daniel and Squire Boone.
5. Big Chief
   Nestled in the heart of Texas' Hill Country on Lake Buchanan, Big Chief RV Resort is a unique RV resort designed by nature! The resort is located in Burnet, Texas with shaded RV sites, endless vistas, and beautiful lakes.
6. Seeds -- Fruits
   Seeds are produced in several related groups of plants, and their manner of production distinguishes the angiosperms ("enclosed seeds") from the gymnosperms ("naked seeds"). Angiosperm seeds are produced in a hard or fleshy (or with layers of both) structure called a fruit that encloses the seeds, hence the name. In gymnosperms, no special structure develops to enclose the seeds, which begin their development "naked" on the bracts of cones. However, the seeds do become covered by the cone scales as they develop in some species of conifer.
7. Kevin Federline
   Start spreadin’ the news… Kevin Federline might be moving to NYC this fall to star in the Broadway adaptation of Legally Blonde reports Us Weekly. So what’s his role? Using his experience as a former backup dancer, Federline may hit the stage perfecting the “bend and snap” as the hunky UPS guy! LOL! “This is his dream and he wants to bring the kids,” an insider told Us.
8. Nitric Acid -- Process
   Nitrites, (compounds containing the NO2- ion), on the other hand, are made from nitrous acid (HNO2), which is a very weak acid compared to its close relative, nitric acid. For example, sodium nitrite, NaNO2 (E250) and potassium nitrite, KNO2 (E249) are used as a preservative in several processed meats, such as bacon, ham, sausage, corned beef, beef jerky, frankfurters, and some fish products. The nitrite ions (NO2-) in these meats inhibit the growth of a bacterium (Clostridium botulinum) which causes the fatal food poisoning known as botulism. They are ... used because they fix the bright-red colour of fresh meat (in the form of a type of diazo-dye), which would otherwise quickly fade to an unpalatable brown. This means that meat on the supermarket shelves, which looks fresh and new, may actually be several days old and just 'dyed' red using the nitrite!
9. Corporate Gift -- Corporate Gift Basket
   Corporate gift baskets are often given by banks, insurance and food producing companies. They may include in the basket, if it is a savory pack, such things as pâté de foie gras or smoked salmon and other things like quails eggs and caviar to be washed down with a good quality red wine and followed with a good port. These would be for the upper end of the market. Some baskets are solely based on the decadence of strong flavored dark chocolates and coffees, or, good quality wines and alcohols. These baskets are themed and presented in every possible mixture possible.
