Yes, I Brought My Preschooler to Burning Mannew
I'll tell you straight: the reason I brought my preschooler to Burning Man is not that I'm some super-mom who never needs a break from her kid and doesn't love to party like a grown-up. It was because I wanted to go, and I didn't have any volunteers for a weeklong babysitting gig.

Remember Cliff Crooks from 'Top Chef'?new
It is impossible that anyone could be this hard to get ahold of. I don’t care how busy or famous you are. I have left at least seven voicemails and as many emails in as many hours. Finally, I get a text message from Chef Cliff Crooks: “No verbal communication at this juncture. How can I assist you?”
Is this guy for real?

Sex Files: There's Help for Women Who Experience Pain During Sexnew
Sex is not much fun when it hurts. About 15 to 20 percent of women in the United States report having pain during intercourse, and yet this problem often makes women feel alone. Unlike a backache or tennis elbow, it's not something you can easily share with friends or colleagues.

Meat the 21st Century: A Delinquent Vegetarian's Victory Talenew
After almost 11 years of a repulsion-based vegetarianism, one day I just ceased to be repulsed. I'm alarmingly comfortable with relinquishing something that's been part of my very identity for so long. It is a little sad for me, admittedly, but the epicurean future is too tantalizing for it to get me down. Thank you, bacon.

Miley Cyrus with Her Back Exposed! The Horror!new
Disney may own the rights to Hannah Montana, but Miley Cyrus is a human being. Sure, she's a star and a zillionaire and everything, but she's still a teenage girl. The idea that she must studiously avoid anything that smacks of maturity is ridiculous.

At a recent meeting of the Mount Washington Green Club, members held a blind water tasting to figure out once and for all: Do tap and bottled waters taste differently?

The Catonsville Nine and Baltimore Four Revisitednew
Forty years ago, nine Catholic peace activists took a draft office in Maryland -- and the nation -- by surprise. Together they took the draft files to a grassy patch behind the building where tipped-off reporters were waiting for them. They then set the files ablaze with homemade napalm, recited a prayer, made statements to the press, and waited peacefully to be arrested.
