The photo for this story is a good example of the sort of potato you shouldn't eat. When potatoes (especially those with thin, light colored skin) are exposed to light, they start to turn greenish....

Where's the bed? I was expecting a Murphy sort of set-up. A sofa-bed doesn't seem realistic or desirable for the long term. There's also a lack of built-in innovative storage solutions. The amount ...

The NPR story also went on to point out that the local farms that WalMart uses as suppliers are mega-agriculture operations. WalMart is just changing their supply stream in order to cut down on tra...

My Mom has a heavy cotton fabric filter. It needs to sit in something, but I've always liked it. It can be a bit messy and getting every last ground out is really close to impossible, but if you m...

on a porch - any porch will do.

Fort Bragg, California - just north of Mendocino.

Tickets to the speaking events are very reasonable, and the student rates are even more so. Additionally, they have a discount program that you can apply to in oder to get very reduced price ticke...

Purex is a conventional detergent and is comparable to Tide. I used Purex for many years before switching to Ecos (I also buy it at Costco). I haven't noticed any change in cleaning performance.

It's terrible that cruise lines are jumping on the green bandwagon while they continue to dump huge amounts of garbage into the oceans. There is no requirement that they store and dispose of trash ...

that note looks like it belongs on passiveagressivenotes.com I agree that face-to-face is a much better way to deal with this. Notes leave too much interpretation in the hands of the ...

Nora Rocket and empresscallipygos - hear hear! You both have said it well, so I'll leave it alone and resist re-making your points. Adults acting like children really c...

Maybe I've ODed on Olympics coverage already. I saw the same segment on Natalie and found it to be contrived and silly. But, to be fair - a great majority of those "get to know the athlete" segme...

reusable grocery bags! and a dog bed.

souk 1501 - I agree the rim on the saucer is what makes these pots so great looking. That and the lack of the rim at the top of the pot.

Colored embroidery floss plus tiny clothespins (from a craft store) is how I love to display holiday cards. It looks a bit less frumpy that way. I love the idea of it as an all-year-around display,...

Use the faux wood that's become popular for use as decking. It won't be free, but it won't rot. Maybe a combo of faux wood and small weave chicken wire? At least that would make a sturdy frame.

Terrifying? The government has always had an interest in what people do with their private property. Building codes, prohibitions against doing things like dumping toxic waste, etc... Unless you ma...

Let me chime in with, "it's big in Japan". I've seen photos of units like these integrated into Japanese kitchens. If you have a garbage disposal, it seems like you would be able to plug this into ...

I do wonder what this epoxy is made of and what it could leach into the water? It's not mentioned clearly on the website. I love the idea, though. I wonder if it's at all possible to use a high-te...

This is an interesting shift. I think that many people are not used to the idea that we are moving toward a system where we'll be required to be responsible for our waste - that it's not a choice a...
