  • Disaster Preparedness for the Furred and Feathered
    Disaster preparedness for pets is a must for any pet owner who is concerned about the survival of their family during and after a disaster. They need to remember the one member of the family that is the most helpless: the family pet. Just as we would make special preparations for an infant, who is helpless and unable to communicate, we must do the same for those furred and feathered babies.
  • Lost Wax Jewelry Casting
    Lost wax jewelry casting is one of the oldest forms of intricate fabrication known. Before the pyramids rose in Egypt people were making jewelry by the lost wax casting method which is still in use today. The advantage of the lost wax casting technique is that you can work details into a piece of metal by this technique that could never be simply carved or worked in by normal methods.
  • Oh, Boy, Alloy!
    What exactly is an alloy? Since alloys are part of our daily lives, it’s important that we have some idea of exactly what an alloy is. An alloy is simply a metal that is made up of more than one element. The reason for using an alloy rather than a pure metal is that there are certain properties that might be desired in a finished product that the pure metal just doesn’t have. By combining two metals, one achieves a substance that has the best of all the elements.
  • Soap Making: The Disappearing Skill
    There are only two ingredients required to make soap, yet soap making can be a very time consuming and difficult project. In the old days, soap was made a couple of times per year, sometimes once a year. One of the reasons for not making soap more often was because it could be an all day job.
  • Understanding Search and Rescue Dogs
    As early as the 1900’s the Red Cross was using Search and Rescue dogs (SAR dogs) to help find people who were lost. Many recognize the barrel-toting St. Bernard as the rescue dog who finds those lost in the snow. Originally used in the Alps, these first rescue dogs set the standard for diligence and ability.
  • Which Dogs are Good with Children
    One of the most popular dog breeds chosen as dogs good with children are those dogs from the retriever family. Golden retrievers, Labrador, Chesapeake Bay, curly and flat-coated retrievers are excellent with both small children and other small animals. Eager to please, the retriever is gentle, friendly and affectionate; the perfect companion for even the smallest child.
