A hard topic

This is not a post about attending the Madison Knitters Guild event this weekend, how I'm looking forward to hearing Stephanie Pearl-McPhee give a talk, and that I'm going to be spending quality time with the vendors. Nor is this a post about the wildlife in my back yard or how I wish Spring was here. This is a post where I talk about a topic that is hard for me. This post is about me asking for your help. Today I'm driving up to my mother's, picking her up, dropping the dog at the kenn

emilíana torrini: the giggle & the drum

words in edgeways with emilíana torrini There is a specific quality that is deeply embedded in pretty much all of Iceland�"s sonic output. An intangible, mysterious quality that binds its artists together like a strong silver chain barely detectable by the naked ear but enough for the music press to pigeonhole them into the catch-all, if unimaginatively named, box of �SIcelandic music⬝. No matter how tribal, shoegaze, electro, post-rock or plain old avant-garde any of its major stars venture, th

Pets Instead Of Kids

A recent survey conducted in the UK found that couples who are planning to start families choose pets instead of having children.  The main factor behind this - the economy.  The survey of 3,000 people found that 60% said that they would not start having children during the current economic downturn. Instead over 25% said that they would get a pet. Both men and women were equally divided on their choice to have a four legged family member vs a two legged one.

Spring is in the air. What does that  mean you ask? It means that I am off the wall!! I look outside and see a sea of tennis balls being uncovered by the melting snow, it's like heaven. Mom keeps telling me it's not quite spring time yet, even though I ask about 10 million times a day.

Pedigree Super Bowl Commercial

I know I am a littel late posting this but it is truly a funny commercial. Mars Inc made the decision to advertise its adoption program over its food during the Super Bowl. I think they deserve kudos for that and for the humerous theme: A World Without Dogs.

Well as promised here is the first of the sign language� my mom is teaching me. She decided to start with something that I am very familiar with as a command. So we decided on "sit". It's going really well so far. I have to think about it for awhile when she throws the sign at me, but she's very patient and if I think long about it long enough I get it. I'm really excited to get this one under my belt and move on to a new sign. Maybe this week we'll try "down" or "speak" or I don't know ... [...]

Dog Sniffs Out Peanuts For Allergic Child

Saw this on Cnn and just had to repost the story.

MONUMENT - Eight-year-old Riley Mers still has a scar on her foot from a time when a peanut shell slipped into her sandal at the park, burning her skin like an acid. She's gone into hives and struggled to breathe from inhaling peanut residue too faint to smell. In her short life she's learned enough about emergency rooms to know she doesn't like the "dresses" they make her wear.

He is only 10 weeks old and he is already fully house broken and he sits, rolls over and begs. I can't believe how fast they can learn. I really owe it to my trainer. He used to train police dogs and he is amazing. I found him on www.animallookup.com.

Bacteria Jump From Host to Host

All life - plants, animals, people - depends on peaceful coexistence with a swarm of microbial life that performs vital services from helping to convert food to energy to protection from disease. Now, with the help of a squid that uses a luminescent bacterium to create a predator-fooling light organ and a fish that uses a different strain of the same species of bacteria like a flashlight to illuminate the dark nooks of the reefs where it lives, researchers have observed that gaining a single gene is enough for the microbe to switch host animals........

Names give cows a lotta bottle

A cow with a name produces more milk than one without, researchers at Newcastle University have found. Drs Catherine Douglas and Peter Rowlinson have shown that by giving a cow a name and treating her as an individual, farmers can increase their annual milk yield by almost 500 pints. The study, published online today in the academic journal Anthrozoos, observed that on farms where each cow was called by her name the overall milk yield was higher than on farms where the cattle were herded as a group........

New class of genes found in mammals

A research team at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules. Their findings, presented in the February 1st advance online issue of the journal Nature, demonstrate that this novel class of "large intervening non-coding RNAs" or "lincRNAs" plays critical roles in both health and disease, including cancer, immune signaling and stem cell biology........

When fish farms are built along the coast

If you are a fish eater, it's likely that the salmon you had for dinner was not caught in the wild, but was instead grown in a mesh cage submerged in the open water of oceans or bays. Fish farming, a relatively inexpensive way to provide cheap protein to a growing world population, now supplies, by some estimates, 30 percent of the fish consumed by humans........
