  • Asian lady beetles use biological weapons against their European relatives

    ScienceDaily: Animal News
    16 May 2013 | 11:25 am
    Once introduced for biological pest control, Asian lady beetle populations have been increasing uncontrollably. Scientists have now found the reason for the animal's success. Its body fluid contains microsporidia, fungus-like protozoa that parasitize body cells and can cause immense harm to their host. The Asian lady beetle is obviously resistant to these parasites. However, transferred to native species, microsporidia can be lethal.

  • Author’s Bio Photo: “Second Chance Dog: A Love Story.”

    Jon Katz
    18 May 2013 | 11:01 am
    Author's Bio Well, here it is, the first portrait taken of me and Maria and the author's bio photo for "Second Chance Dog: A Love Story," to be published in November by Random House. Much as I am not easy being photographed, I love this photo, it captures the intense love of this wonderful triangle. Maria always looks beautiful to me, but George Forss, brilliant man that he is, captured her  radiance. Frieda got into the spirit of things and didn't try to kill any chickens or barn cats. I am happy to see this photo, as Maria and I have never had a portrait done. George did a great job.

    Finishing Up We began painting Maria's Schoolhouse Studio yellow last Fall, but the winter interrupted the job. We're resuming work on it. Today, going to the dump, now heading to the bookstore for some recommending (518 677-2515). Putting up a clothesline later, weed-whacking, heading out for a walk, going to Williamstown, Mass. for some Vietnamese food.

    Flo's Realm On this farm, our barn cats are much less wild and ephemeral than at the first Bedlam Farm. Flo has claimed the back porch as her territory, she sits on her various thrones and gazes out at the world. We see little evidence of hunting, but then, there are also no mice, rats or other rodents around that we can see. When George Forss came to photograph us yesterday, he and I both saw the same shot at the same time, there is so much going on in this photograph. We are putting up a clothesline in the back yard today, hopefully, we have lots to do.

    George Forss Our second photo session with George Forss went smoothly. Maria and I took it a bit more seriously, dressed up a bit and George and I found a good spot to move the wicker cushion. I was a bit shocked when George told me he only charges $35 for a photo shoot, this is shockingly low for one of the most celebrated landscape photographers in the world. George is the epitome of grace, people are always giving him their old cameras and he is always patching them up and re-using them. He and I shot some photos of Flo – more and more, we are spotting the same images to photograph,…

  • The Face Of Buying Local: Scott Carrino, Round House Cafe

    Jon Katz
    18 May 2013 | 12:28 am
    Scott Carrino Buying local is personal, it supports the individual, it rewards connection and creativity, it cements community. The corporate ethos is only about money, the system does  not permit empathy, the sense of being known, the reality of being cared for. It is soul-killing, it degrades work and security, it rends community.

  • Frog Fungus and the Pregnancy Test of Doom

    Jason Bittel
    17 May 2013 | 8:49 am
    By Jason Bittel Things are not going well for frogs. A type of fungus known as chytrid has decimated populations around the globe, causing the serious decline or extinction of 200 species. Even worse, scientists believe chytrid is capable of infecting most of the world’s 6,000-some amphibian varieties -- an event that would likely be cataclysmic for food chains worldwide. Luckily, a paper published in the online journal PLOS One this week offers some insight about how chytrid might have first spread -- and perhaps how to stop it. But I have to warn you: it’s about to get a little weird.

Good luck with that. Green-friendly Massachusetts Congressman Edward Markey says the regulations would give drillers permission to “frack first and ask questions later,” while Big Oil buddy and North Dakota senator John Hoeven argues that the rules would “exacerbate permitting delays.” Although the requirements would include a water management plan and make companies reveal some of the chemicals they use in…

    By The Editors Consider the numbers crunched: An exhaustive survey of thousands upon thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles on climate change reveals a whopping 97.1 percent of them agree that climate change is caused by human activity (a 2004 study found a similar consensus). The survey looked at work from 29,000 scientists in 11,994 academic papers. Will this move the needle for the American public? (And perhaps more importantly, American politicians?) In a Pew Research poll last fall, only 42 percent of those surveyed believed humans were the main drivers of climate change. The…

  • Overinflated: Why the NYC Bike Share Backlash Is a Good Thing

    Tom Vanderbilt
    15 May 2013 | 1:07 pm
    By Tom Vanderbilt No revolution is deserving of the label if it doesn't provoke resistance from a threatened establishment. That’s why the backlash against Citi Bike -- the new bike-sharing program scheduled to put 6,000 bikes and 330 stations on New York City’s streets by the end of the month -- is a positive development. Let us first qualify. As far as backlashes go, the anti-Citi Bike outcry is fairly tame stuff: a smattering of lawsuits, some very typical New York City-style kvetching over details and logistics, the expected histrionics from reporters whose expertise on matters…

    1. No dog is happier to be rescued. I remember the first night after I left the streets. My human kept me in an enclosed porch because, let’s face it, I was crawling with fleas and pretty filthy. She put a dog bed outside with some food and water, and I’d see her checking on me about every five minutes. That night, I slept well for the first time in my short life. I didn’t move; I didn’t wake up until the sun rose. I was safe. We dogs are wired by nature to be humans’ companions. It’s the result of thousands of years of breeding. After all, dogs have the longest…

    This Mother’s Day weekend we celebrate moms everywhere – and of every kind. Even after witnessing more than 20 killer whale births at our parks, we're always amazed at the care killer whale calves receive from their mothers. Here are some fast facts on killer whales and why we think they are such fantastic moms. Big baby! Killer whale calves start out life bigger than most human adults! From our experience, SeaWorld estimates newborns are about 8.5 ft. (2.6 m) long and weigh approximately 350 lb. (160 kg). Got (lots and lots of) milk? Killer whale calves nurse for one to two…

It’s always been an unwelcoming brisk 25 degrees, with 100 percent chance of snow. These are temperatures that would keep your ice cream at proper set, but temperatures that keep emperor penguins at the casual. It’s a little slice of Antarctica, we like to say. To say so, however, requires some perspective. And a bit of a history lesson. With the 30th anniversary on the horizon, any talk of the Penguin Encounter…

    A trio of dogs have been specially trained to sniff out stowaway zebra mussels to keep them from infesting new ponds, lakes and other waterways in St. Paul, Minnesota. Take that, you invasive punks!

    If you find yourself heading down to Key West on vacation there is something you have just got to see -- The Catman and his Flying House Cats. They perform for the crowds each night at sunset. Contrary to what just about everyone will tell you about cats, they CAN be trained to do all sorts of things. For Dominique LeFort they will literally jump through hoops -- even if the hoops are on fire.

  • Extinct “Scissorhands” Fossil Arthropod Named After Johnny Depp

    A half-billion year old fossil of a previously unknown lobster-like creature has been given the name Kooteninchela deppi in honor of actor Johnny Depp. The small but formidably clawed ancestor of many modern insects, spiders and crustaceans possessed a fiendishly spiky set of claws that immediately reminded researchers of Depp's well-loved film character, Edward Scissorhands.

  • Our Lying, Cheating Ways May Have Evolved From Apes

    Who hasn't told a little white lie or purposely deceived others over the course of one's life. Ever wonder why the moral code of "thou shall not lie," has found its way into our religious and legal systems down through the ages? Perhaps because deception is so intricately woven into our DNA that man needed constant reminders that our darker nature was inevitable.

  • Cats Get Cake Top Honors!

    Miniature Porcelain Cats as Cake Topper for Wedding I recently learned that some of our beautiful porcelain miniature kitties we carry received top honors as a wedding cake topper for one of our customers. What higher praise is that! Seven separate cakes with one that showcased the cats. The very unique wedding cake was one in a grouping of seven cakes elegantly arranged in a metal stand. The bride and her father actually made the cakes themselves. It was so kind for the new couple to share these photos with us. And they also relayed this story to us which is bittersweet.  “The four…

  • Do You Remember Orangey The Cat?

    A few nights ago I watched the 1957 movie The Incredible Shrinking Man which is one of my old-time favorites.  If you have not seen it, there is a scene where the shrinking man is small enough to live in a doll house.  This works out okay until his cat gets left inside the large house with everyone else out for the evening. I think you can guess what happens next. (Don’t worry, after a great “cat & mouse” battle the man gets away). Orangey looking fierce in The Incredible Shrinking Man I started wondering about the cat in the movie and decided to do some…

  • Springtime Cat Shedding

    All of a sudden I’m seeing little tufts of grey hair here & there on the carpet.  Following them like a trail of crumbs from Hansel & Gretel they lead me to my Dessa’s favorite sleeping places. Now I know! It’s spring and the time for cats to shed their winter coat. Shedding is normal and healthy for cats. It helps them get rid of dead and loose hair which can irritate their skin. Being a Russian Blue our cat has a thick, dense double coat of fur.  She has a lot of fur to shed!  (This can also mean a lot of hairballs). We know it’s time to step up the…

    If you like cat tiles you might be familiar with the artist Claudia Sanchez. She does beautiful cat art that is converted onto ceramic tiles. I have carried her vivid colored cat tiles for several years. Recently she changed manufacturers and came out with new 8″ x 8″ designs which I found on my last trip to the LA gift show. They are very unique with a black background that makes the image stand out.  Here are a few of them that I have featured on my website. Katana Cat Coffee Cat Cat with Blossom This next tile is a delightful & whimsical tile showing two “best…

    In part I of my search I talked about some great new decorated cat tag pendants.  Today I’ll tell you about one new product line I now have on my website, plus a new style on a regular line. I was very excited to find a whimsical and heartwarming group of cat frames , cat mugs and message stones. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens in the world of retail, the mugs were out of stock for a couple of months.  I loved the mugs, but the frames are still outstanding and hold their own. There are several styles, and I’ll show you a couple here, but my favorite is the one that…
