  sensibly sassy — Authority: 415
  Here are some tidbits that have been floating through my head:-I just had a really healthy salad and hard boiled egg but ruined it by having a heaping helping of rice pudding that Nani made. I am my own worst enemy sometimes.-For some reason a moment when Jon and I first moved in together popped into my head. My back ...

  Its not every day you come across a blog/site dedicated just to cats. Why is that? We know cats are the most regal animals in the animal kingdom - after all, werent they worshipped as Gods by the Egyptians ? Hey, those Egyptians obviously knew something we dont. History has it that cats today KNOW about the ...

  sensibly sassy — Authority: 415
  On Friday I took Frank to the vet for a little check up since he will be turning one year old next month. The vet said everything looked pretty good but our little man weighed in at 64 pounds which means this guy is overweight.I feel like such a bad puppy mama, I totally thought that he was lookin good for a bulldog. ...

  Science & Soul — Authority: 107
  You walk through the aisles of your local supermarket.  Apples in June.  Watermelons in February.  Oranges in December.  Weird star fruit in….well I don’t actually know if star fruit have a picking season.  So how do we have these fruits and vegetables when it is not time for them to be picked. Most of our ...

• It’s been a good week for the genomes

  
  Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog — Authority: 477
  Cucumber . Tomato . Pig . Horse . A veritable cornucopia of crops and livestock. And from it will doubtless emerge fascinating scientific insights. “[H]orses have a newly forming part in their genetic make-up which shows the evolutionary process in action in a way that has not been seen before.” “[N]ew ...

• Another look at the Goyet cave “dog”

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  Nearly a year ago, I wrote about the discovery of a canine skull in the Goyet Cave in Belgium. This skull had the distinctive features of a dog skull, but  when it was dated, it was found to be 31,700 years old. The next oldest accepted dog remains date to 14,000 years ago and were found in Russia. The ...

• So, farewell then, Claude Levi-Strauss

  
  Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog — Authority: 477
  Like the Archaeobotanist , I too was astonished by the news that Claude Levi-Strauss had died today because I was not aware that he hadn’t died many years ago. Rather than explain why a blog about agrobiodiversity should mark the passing of a centenarian and seminal anthropologist, let me just urge you to visit ...

  Science & Soul — Authority: 107
  Time to get back on the horse after a week of midterms. Nitrogen was the primary limiting nutrient in terrestrial ecosystems.  Nitrogen levels could be increased by using composted organic material, but that took a long period of time and was hard work.  Keep that in mind.  World War II is raging and ammonia is ...

  Dinner last night: Delicious, drool-worthy pulled pork sandwiches on Italian bread.  (We used a fancier brand of barbecue sauce than normal — Kansas City Style — and you could TASTE the difference.) With steamed broccolini.* For dessert: Made-from-scratch pumpkin pie.** With homemade whipped cream. Holy ...

• More accounts of friendly wolves and wolves and dogs hanging out together

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  Check this out . Most wolves that exist today fear people above all things, and if a dog, coyote, or strange wolf pops up in a pack’s territory, it is dead. Even the wolves of Ellesmere kill interlopers in their territories, and these wolves are believed to have experienced no (or at least very little) persecution ...

• Radishes

  
  Seeds Aside — Authority: 109
  All tubs on the picture below are radishes, the big one isn’t a turnip but a true radish root, from a giant variety. I really enjoy neighbouring organic farms, and moreover that the farmers decided to fill their market gardens with many rare vegetables and roots. They offer a great diversity and of course, increase ...

• The relationship between the Beothuks and wolves

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  The Beothuks were the indigenous people of Newfoundland who were living there in the early colonial period. Contrary to what you may read, the Beothuk probably did not own dogs . There are no archeological records of dog remains near Beothuk settlement, and most of the earliest accounts of the Beothuk make no ...

• Why you should never believe everything you read on the internet

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  It’s going to be one of those posts. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I was perusing this site on Native American dogs, when I came across something very, very wrong: All of these primitive dogs are probably, to one extent or another, related or have very similar ancestors. The only difference is that Native ...

• Ancient Civilisations – an Introduction: The Neolithic Revolution

  
  Socyberty — Authority: 562
  I thought it would be sensible we first discover how civilisation initially occurred, before we take a look at the various civilisations throughout history, some of which were wiped out by disease and war. Image via Wikipedia The Neolithic Revolution was the first and most important in a series of ...

• A Strange System: Food: Too Corny

  
  Science & Soul — Authority: 107
  Too Corny Corn is a wonderful vegetable.  Admittedly, the stuff we consider corn is actually maize, but I’m not here to argue semantics.  The kernel of maize is a mature ovary of fruit fused with a seed coat.  Corn can be eaten raw, cooked, or ground into flour for bread.  Good stuff this corn.  Perhaps ...

• The worst theory on dog origins

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  Of all the somewhat reasonable theories about the origin of the domestic dog that have been posited, the one that lingers on is the theory that domestic dogs are derived from jackals. Charles Darwin thought this was a great idea, and he thought that all the different species of Jackal played some role in the ...

• Coppinger versus Serpell

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 141
  I must say that I go with Serpell on this one: Source. Coppinger’s biggest problem is he assumes that wolves have always had short critical periods for socialization. If we could select for tameness in silver foxes through those few generations of selective breeding, just think of what our widespread ...
