4 weeks ago How would you describe your face? That’s the premise of a new video from Dove, which features a number of different women explaining their facial attributes to a forensic sketch artist who can’t see them. Now we have the guys version!

For example, it can make plants resistant to certain diseases or a longer shelf life.

April 20, 2013 Monday, April 22 is Earth Day. In full disclosure, I am a tree hugger and proud of it. Every day I look around and see how much more I could be doing. I see what we all could be doing. But here are some easy ways to take it easy on Mother Earth. Even my ShadowDog is getting in the mood with his new Earth Day collar. He likes nature.
April 19, 2013 A sigh of relief of sorts because April vacation is almost over. I kid, sort of. What a week. Redoing the kids’ rooms and we’re still on Justin’s, it’s the last of the three but all rooms were and are more work then anticipated.
