The Problem with Star Charts

I know it may seem strange that as a parent with only cats for children I actually read a parenting blog, but Parent Hacks is a regular read for me. (Partly because Asha has been so supportive of GRS.) There's a great discussion going on there right now about the problem with star charts. I suspect many of you could get some good stuff out of this debate.

The Amazing Lyrebird

Amazing! Sir David Attenborough, naturalist and pioneer of the nature documentary, turned 80 last month. To mark the occasion, Britons were asked to choose their favorite Attenborough moment and of all the memorable scenes, his recording of the lyrebird came out on top. In this clip the bird mimics neighboring birds, several cameras, car alarms, and perhaps most impressively, loggers with chainsaws. (wmv, qt) [via mefi by way of frykitty]

Odd Couple

You know how I love tales of interspecies friendship. Well, here is a series of wonderful photographs portraying Cairo, an Italian mastiff puppy, who was introduced as a playmate to 10-week-old Koza, a lion cub whose twin died, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. I love this. [Again, via frykitty, who should e-mail me this stuff.]
