Pets & Animals > Dog Training Tips for dealing with hyper-active dogs: 13 of 14
When my sister adopted a lab mix we had no idea what was in store for our normally peaceful household. After all, we had two other dogs and didn't expect our routines to change all that much. We considered ourselves a dog-centric household. How much extra work could one dog give us? And then we got her home. She was insane f... More..
Food & Drink > Breads, Grains, Pasta & Rice How do you describe your favorite biscuits?: 8 of 8
For some reason I've always been a huge fan of biscuits. Frozen biscuits, from the mix biscuits and totally from scratch. I like them flavored or plain, with or without butter, drizzled with maple syrup, covered in cinnamon and brown sugar or just smeared with jam.

Sciences > Zoology The importance of a shell for crustaceans and mollusks: 7 of 7
Shells aren't just for collecting. They provide protection and a sort of backbone to creatures that lack them. Two such types are mollusks and crustaceans.

However lovely wood paneling looked in my past the times have changed and panels have gotten older, faded, taken on strange shadows or simply fallen ou... More..
Home & Garden > Cleaning Floors & Walls How to clean hardwood floors: 4 of 4
I live in a rickety farmhouse with four dogs. My floors are all hardwood, each room a different type in a different state of wear. I've got a kitchen that was reworked about fifteen years ago, with boards are thinner than the rest of the house. Upstairs, some of the fifty year old wood is peeling up, downstairs each room hol...

Hobbies & Games > Kids Games & Toys Custom action figures: How to set up your customizing work area: 3 of 3
Setting up a customizing work space can be the best thing you'll ever do for your hobby. After all, customizations don't happen in a few hours! Add up all the drying, tweaking and setbacks and they can take you weeks of work. Without a place of their own, the body parts of several villains will take over the dining room tabl... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion How the steed of Odin has shaped other religions: 3 of 3
The Steed of Odin is an interesting nickname for Yggdrasill, a world tree from Norse Mythology. Sometimes the tree is called the Steed of Odin, or Odin's Mount in reference to the nine days he spent hanging upside down from its branches to gain wisdom from the dead (Crossley-Holland xxii-xxiii). The term Vikings refers to No... More..
