Happiness is...
Mike DeHaan
Happiness is a warm puppy; in my case, a recovered computer.
I downloaded the free avast! anti-virus package yesterday and let it run on my main computer. It found one infected file and allowed me to delete it. Since then, the symptoms have disappeared. Hurray and thanks.
I had managed to do some work for one private client from my "spare" computer, but have fallen behind. Never fear! One hallmark of an entrepreneur is to pursue the tasks with diligence.
One result is that this will be a very brief section.

Environmental Graffiti Articles from the Past
Little Brown Bat by D.Fletcher
In the continuing series of chronologically-arranged highlights, here are three articles about very different animals.
This Slender Loris lives only in the Horton Plains and was thought extinct until, in 2010, a photography expedition proved otherwise. Read The Horton Plains Slender Loris Battles Extinction in Environmental Graffiti.
In North America, "Sylvatic Plague: The Black Death of Prairie Dogs" reports on a problem facing prairie dogs.
Finally, here is perhaps my most practical and important article published on this site to date: How to Fight an Infestation of Bed Bugs.

Suite 101 Articles from the Past
Black Bear Approaching by joeb
I am less thrilled with Why Would A Bear Attack Your Car Or Home? For Food Or Garbage on Suite 101. It does have good advice, but there do not seem to be many incidents. At least, not many are reported to major city news outlets. Perhaps those living in more remote areas have an ongoing relationship with scavenging bears.
This was a big concern last summer: Will The 2010 Solar Flare Trigger An Aurora, Or Power Failures? Fortunately the flare bounced off the earth's magnetosphere with little effect on most people. The article continued to garner readers for the rest of the year.
Time Management Tips: From Time Slave To Time Lord was intended to attract Dr. Who fans. At the time, I was seeing many Twitter tweets about time management programs, or complaints from people who felt overworked or unable to make deadlines. The advice is sound but, in retrospect, not very exciting.
