Smith, who holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Idaho, juggles a number of pursuits in her career as an artist: she is a ceramics technician and instructor at Washington State University. When she's not...

With the All-Star break behind us and the trade deadline just a couple weeks away, which Mariners are most likely to be traded? Most fans would like to see Félix Hernández or Kyle Seager moved but both have high salaries, have dealt with injuries this season and have produced well below expectations. These two aren't going anywhere. The Mariners do have a couple of players left that have had good seasons, low salaries and are currently healthy. Domingo Santana's outfield defense is the one blemi...

The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service recognizes fifteen species of poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac throughout the known world and five of those grow natively in North America. These plants are found in wooded areas and tend to blend with more innocuous ground cover. While they aren't technically poisonous, the urushiol in them does incite allergic reactions in most who come in contact with their leaves, stems or roots. The effects take hold from exposure to all parts of the...

I'm a popcorn addict; once I start, it's hard for me to stop. So that is why the large bag of Chicka-Pop popcorn from Costco is not allowed in the house (for awhile). This recipe called out to me, but I won't make it until I have a gathering of some sort. Speaking of recipes, Reader Wendy mentioned to me how delicious the Zucchini Sausage Soup was and how often she makes it and often freezes it. Truth be told, I had forgotten it, but if you would like it again, I can send it to you. If anything...
