  • Where's the beef?; Right here and now is a perfect choice for beef steaks

    Updated Jan 26, 2006

    You do remember the commercial, don’t you? The two elderly, spindly women who challenged the maker of hamburgers of where did they hide the beef in the buns. It was a landmark commercial that was, no doubt, inspired by the reality of thin little patties in huge buns.

  • Roger's Tree Pick for January 2006: Fruit Trees

    Updated Jan 26, 2006

  • Six winter chores for healthier spring trees

    Updated Jan 26, 2006

    The tree-filled landscapes of winter can be mistakenly thought to be asleep. Wintering trees are not sleeping; they are simply still — counting the days until spring. Only then will it be apparent whether the tree has saved enough resources to respond to the new season of growth. Winter is a difficult time for trees which must stand alone against all circumstances that the season can generate. Trees have some internal methods of protection. Most of the growing points in the tree are protected inside jackets called buds, a...
