Well done! lol

This may not suit you,but it's a thought.I know I've mentioned it before,but if you have a garage,10x8 shed,plus say an area of hardstanding say 12'x12',,then acouple of goats are worth considering,just like having a couple of big dogs in a way.Milk,,c heese,yoghurt,etc etc all uberhealthy,and easi...

Mike, Do you mean a stove made entirely from terracotta, or one that has some terracotta bricks inside to keep the heat? My husband has told me our wood cooker has some terracotta inside. It's insulated i imagine round the oven and the sides and most of the heat comes out the top hot plate but the s...

Hi Demi, How well does your kitchen oven heat the room after you've stopped putting wood in it? Does the temperature of the room drop quickly or does it keep giving out heat all night? Mike We stuff it with a huge log on top of lots of hot coals and some smaller logs when we go to bed, usually betw...

Is that what the rings on top are for? We use it to fit really big logs in which wont go in the door. Yes, I imagine so, if it's the same as the ones we have here. Here's what the iron plate looks like on mine: http://images5.okr.ro/auctions.v3/700_700/2011/06/11/7/5/673452941105703057456125-373234...

I also have a woodburning cooker in my kitchen/livingroom which heats the room and i cook nearly everything on it so i don't have to use the electric cooker. I imagine it's similar to Maykal's. It's just over a meter long and just under a meter wide with a cast iron top hot plate and and oven undern...

I read, (not sure where but possibly The Attachment Parenting Book) that when babies cry they release stress hormones. Research was done testing saliva that showed that even after the baby stopped crying the stress hormone levels were just as high as when the baby was crying. The baby gives up cryi...

I don't agree that sleep training is wrong. I understand why some parents would never consider it though, of course its not nice to listen to your baby cry. But sleep training is far from neglect and bad parenting. It involves leaving you child for defined periods of time, 5 min to begin with then g...

No of course it doesn't, but there are many mothers out there convinced that it does due to this: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201112/dangers-crying-it-out And this Harvard 'study' which is not a study at all but an opinion based paper by husband and wife psychologists, compa...

P.S. It's probably better to stick to real medicine.

Let's end with a song!

So we've gone from "educated" to only "educated in science disciplines" to "currently alive and educated in science disciplines". Hmm. If you want statistical significance then you have to state your parameters and keep to them. And I'm not sure "everyone I know i...

Rowan Williams is the archbishop of Canterbury, of course he'd say that. He has a degree in theology, not in science. Indeed, but you did say "especially" educated in science, not exclusively. Most people would find him a highly educated, thoughtful, tolerant man who actively campaigns ag...

Or just maybe they find that to explain everything by an infinite number of cosmic coincidences just as, or perhaps even more,ludicrous than by way of a zombie carpenter. Now, see, i think those people just aren't informed enough about science. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religiosity_and_int...
