Worms Of The Earth by Ace

Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. He is well known for having created the character Conan the Cimmerian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Voracious reading, along with a natural talent for prose writing and the encouragement of teachers, conspired to create in Howard an interest in becoming a professional writer. One by one he discovered the authors that would influence his later work: Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. It's clear from Howard's earliest writings and the recollections of his friends that he suffered from severe depression from an early age. Friends recall him defending the act of suicide as a valid alternative as early as eighteen years old, while many of his stories and poems have a suicidal gloom and intensity that seem prescient in hindsight, describing such an end not as a tragedy but as a release from hell on earth.

Moles vs. voles: Garden pests eat different things, but both damage yards

07.07.11

Moles versus voles - which one is the worst? Hard to tell when you love your lawn and gardens.

Oftentimes, the two are confusing because each does so much damage.

The easy way to remember is:

- V is for vegetarian voles that eat plant roots. You know the signs when you see it - a rootless plant flops over or you easily pull it out of the ground because there are no roots to support it.

Solution: Bait mouse traps with slices of apple, peanut butter and/or granola and place the traps near the hole. Cover with a plastic pot secured with a brick or rock on top. Vole haters swear by this method.
