My warped husband has decided to name Vega's three livestock guardian dog pups after his siblings, Bill, Mikey and Laurie. This is Laurie visiting with Rena. Rena loves playing with the pups, now that Vega has decided Rena can be trusted with them. Laurie's big feet and big muzzle are typical guardian dog charateristics. Five weeks old, and Laurie acts like a big dog. She has no idea she is not. Laurie...

I'm bored. Hating the descent into the dark winter evenings that prevail here in the UK, and dreaming of getting down to the Southern Hemisphere to get some summer light, I've spent an hour or so surfing the web, stopping by the fantastic websites of photographers Art Wolfe and Michael Ezra. Both creating works of art from different sources. Art from landscapes and Michael from the human body. If you've...

Here in America, we have solid theme park rides based on movies that, for the most part, make sense, like Universal Studios' "E.T. Adventure," or the "Wayne's World" roller coaster "Hurler" (since sold and de-"Wayne"'d by Paramount, but still). But in Rome, they're building a ride based on the Fellini film "City of Women." Yes, in an effort to shore...

Every once in a while, there arises the arcane question of how to keep far-future people (robots? aliens') away from radioactive waste dumps that will still be dangerous millennia hence. Juliet Lapidos at Slate discusses it here , and there are some glosses on it here and here . I've long been fascinated by this question, but in a minor irony something I once wrote about it (a review of Gregory Benford's...

We took the kids to another kid's night at the Bass Pro Shop and was planning on doing a scavenger hunt. Instead we found out Santa was there and they had new and fun stuff to do. So the kids had fun in the winter wonderland area. The kids got pictures with Santa and even Baby Caleb did. My kids don't believe in Santa but they still liked getting pics with him. :) I ended up running into another mommy...

Thanks, Seb p.s. Here are the photos for the curious: http://www.photoshelter.com/c/sebmeyer/gallery/Rock-Climbing-in-Iraq/G0000dFiO1NfbTjc...

Lots of fine fruit is left to rot in suburban gardens – so volunteer groups are now picking it and making sure it goes to good causes Ollie Galvin is perched near the top of one tree, while Daniele Rinaudo balances precariously in another. The rest of us scrabble about in the undergrowth below, catching and boxing the apples that they drop. Both men, in their mid-20s, deftly move to the uppermost...

Paul Cunningham points me at another new youtube of John Cunningham and Creag Dubh club friends rock climbing in pretty wintery conditions on the Cobbler in 1978. What really struck me watching this was how dramatically rock climbing in Scotland was about to move on in terms of attitude, tactics and standard shortly after this. Just one year after this on the same cliff Dave Cuthbertson was making...
