...older you have to play piano and learn a new language because it's good for your brain. That's new. I didn't use to worry about my brain. I put myself on the South Beach diet; I ate a lot of almonds and Laughing Cow cheese. Now I'm going to learn Italian and to play piano. In fact, a friend had to stop me from buying a piano over the phone...
...admits to a convent-school upbringing, a stint in London squats and three years singing in a Belgian dance company before starting art school back in the British capital. As the result of a performance-art piece in the early 1990s - she was singing while milking a cow at a party - she caught the attention of the electronic duo Orbital. She lent her voice to their recordings, then ended up collaborating with trip-hop pioneer Tricky, recording and touring with him. After she met film-score composer Gregory, they released their 2000 debut Felt Mountain, an enchanting, cinematic progression from...
...problem with dogs is that harvesting their eggs is extraordinarily labor intensive. You can get cow eggs from a slaughterhouse and incubate them to maturity in the lab.

Prowers County, Colo., appeals to bird watchers with its 400 species. Atwood, Kans., tells hunters about its bountiful wild turkey, pheasant and deer. Six counties in northwestern North Dakota share a website prairieopportunity.com and play up the area's high-speed Internet access...
...Vinton: I buy all of my meat directly from the farmer. I do that because of ailments such as mad cow disease that are in the food chain, and not being tested for thoroughly. Also, I believe in raising animals on pasture, which is the diet that nature intended for them to have. You hear the term "corn-fed beef" thrown around. Nothing could be worse for cattle than to eat corn. They're ruminants. They can turn grass into protein. Feeding them corn is a diet that's too rich for them. It makes them very ill and requires...
