Izraelevitz: My Last Christmas Presents

My Last Christmas Presents
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos

My last summer in Montevideo, Uruguay,was spent in my grandparents’ home. My father was already in America making arrangements for our family to join him. It was that summer that I got to know my grandfather well, and through a simple question that he didn’t answer, I learned a lot about celebrations, traditions, and about myself.

My grandfather had always been a mystery to me, and he spoke little about his past in the “Old Country.” Mostly, I relied on a single photograph, one that I still have at home. My grandfather is standing beside his Read More

First: Happy New Year.

Smith and Berg remind us that in traditional group Read More

How the Hen House Turns: The Power of Imprinting

How the Hen House Turns: The Power of Imprinting
Column by Carolyn A. (Cary) Neeper, Ph. D.

I’m thinking of new beginnings as the new year begins. It’s been almost four years now, since Gwendolyn hen was a chick, raised in our human house during a nasty cold spring, thus imprinted with me as her mother hen.

She still climbs onto my lap whenever I perch on the bench beside the stock tank. She’ll accept a snuggle under my jacket and holds still for several minutes—a rare event in the life of most chickens—then she gets bored and hops off to peck around in the yard for the rest of the morning.

Skin Care Column: Microdermabrasion, How It Works
By JUNE ENGLISH

Microdermabrasion, also known as microderm, is one of the easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments you can get.
