In a fun study published online today in the journal Science, researcher Elizabeth Costello and colleagues at the University of Colorado at Boulder and at Washington University in St. Louis report on their cataloging of the 100 trillion microbes that...
Recently we went on a road trip.My husband had a bit of time off and really wanted to get out in our trailer again. We used to do this a lot - get out in our trailer. This pretty much stopped the moment we moved to the farm. As I began loading our sweet little apartment on wheels, I realized that I hadn't slept in it since August of 2007. Wow. That was pre-farm, pre-chickens, pre-goats,
I got an email from my son, Rick, in Portland telling me of the hunting adventures of his co-worker... So my Co-worker Tim (He's my mentor I spend a lot of time in the truck with him) is a bow hunter, and a smoker. A menthol light smoker. He's had a number of deer over the years but he's never shot an elk. The General Manager, Ray, would constantly make fun of Tim calling him a butt-hacker and telling...
For beloved critters and the children who love them . For all children who must cope with death. For Rob who has suffered a fall, concussion, and facial lacerations. For Brad "who has a particularly yucky bronchial flu thing." For the unemployed , among whom are many friends. For victims of spiritual abuse of any flavor. For the LGBT population of Uganda . For those who vote tomorrow. For...
to this story , so of course I had to go read it. Short version, girl hiking in woods attacked by a pack of tricksters, and died about twelve hours later. Nasty way to go, sad story. Until I got to this: "We take a calculated risk when spending time in nature's fold -- it's the wildlife's terrain," Emily Mitchell's statement continued. "When the decision had been made to kill the pack...

Filed under: Web Dutch designer Jelte van Abbema recently won the €10,000 (about $14,000) Rado Prize at the Dutch Design Awards for, among other work, his typography project Symbiosis . Van Abbema used living bacteria to form lettering by stamping the critters onto paper with letterpress type, and then set them in a home-made incubator. Their metastasis and ultimate demise created typographic...
Halloween is upon us and, appropriately, this month's bonus challenge for the Martha Stewart's Cupcakes club was Halloween-themed cupcakes! I used ideas from both Martha's book as well as Hello, Cupcake! to create my cupcakes. I missed last week's Sweet Melissa Sundays , which was a devil's food cake recipe that got good reviews from the other bakers, so I decided to go with that recipe for the cupcakes....
…for more, obviously. They also left me itching in a very literal sense. What is it with ageing indie fans? Are they immune to the charms of hygiene? Despite their infestations, they all had girlfriends/boyfriends too. Grrrr. Revolting, isn't it? I got home and nearly burned all my clothes before spending an hour in the bath frantically scrubbing away in case the critters survived the journey...
To the English, a grave is like their second home (or castle). Dead Londoners do not want to share graves with the previously dead, even though London is running out of space for the dead. (Why has cremation not caught...
The zombie crawl starts at Molly Malone's, where I'm told they are going to have the makeup and clothes to turn you undead if you don't already have a costume. The Downunder has built quite a reputation for being where the real Halloween madness unhinges, between Amy's and Anna's boundless enthusiasm and artist Brett Schulte's occult summoning of assorted voodoo priestesses and sundry critters
I know you love the feral kitties. I, too, am a fan of felines. However, if you give them a steady supply of food, they become like little welfare recipients; logy, dull, and disinclined to work. You cannot then complain when they lose the edge and don't eat the critters in your garden. Help the kitties stay lean and hungry so they eat the nasty squirrels.
Trick o’treaters donned their most spooktastic garb and headed for Java Street where they put their eeriest foot forward – with other intrepid critters of the night – to celebrate the annual fright fest with a spine-tingling stroll between Manhattan ...
