  • Kitten Found with Paws Frozen to Fence Seeks New Home<br />
 <br />
A homeless kitten found in Dorchester, Mass. with his front paws frozen to the metal wire of a neighborhood fence is on the mend and will soon be placed for adoption,<br />
 <br />
A good Samaritan, who heard the kitten’s cries from inside his house on March 7, used warm water to free the frightened feline’s legs from the fence before rushing him to the Emergency & Critical Care Unit at the MSPCA’s Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston.<br />
 <br />
Hypothermic, scared and in pain<br />
Angell’s Dr. Meagan Rock was first on the scene.  “This little guy was extremely lucky to have a kind stranger step in and help because his situation rendered him defenseless against the cold and predators,” she said.  “And by the time he got to us he was hypothermic and his legs were swollen.”<br />
 <br />
The team actively warmed the kitten using blankets, convection heat and warm water bottles, and administered pain medicine to sooth his sore paws.  He spent the night in the hospital and is continuing his recovery in Dr. Rock’s home.  She expects his blistered front paws will heal completely in time.<br />
 <br />
Dr. Rock named the kitten “Ralphie” and will soon bring him back to the MSPCA, where he will be neutered, immunized and microchipped before he is placed for adoption.<br />
<br />
Photo shows: Ralphie prefers the comfort of a home than life on the streets<br />

  • Front of Jeep frozen in time <br />
<br />
The ice sculpture was discovered in the visitor's parking lot at Vidant Medical Center Tuesday afternoon.<br />
<br />
One of the photo-takers' theory is that the Jeep owner left their vehicle running, warming up the engine. The imprint was then left after they backed out of the parking space. The ice was attached to the curb.<br />
We're not sure how long it stayed around, but it's pretty cool.<br />

  • THE MAGIC OF WINTERTIME IN FINNISH LAPLAND<br />
<br />
When she was a little girl, photographer Tiina Törmänen built castles out of snow. She spent her childhood in Finland’s Southern Lapland, surrounded by lakes and forests, and each winter, she dug tunnels, doorways, and rooms, illuminated by flickering candlelight. She sang songs to her beloved dog Nappi on dark nights.<br />
<br />
Törmänen was a child of nature; she played with the dogs more than she did other children. She picked wild berries and mushrooms while her family fished and hunted and grew their own vegetables.<br />
<br />
After an Edenic childhood, the artist moved to Helsinki at sixteen. She survived an abusive relationship, one that she feels robbed her of her teenage years, a time that should have been happy but was instead plagued by fear.<br />
<br />
After fifteen years away, the artist made the choice to return home to the North of Finland. She associates the city in some ways with the “dark times,” while in the countryside, home of the aurora borealis, she was able to find solace and comfort.<br />
<br />
When asked if her homecoming has helped to heal old wounds, the photographer suggests something a little more complicated. It takes time, and she’s learning how to cope with the past, not to erase it. Every hardship, she says, has made her strong, and it’s made her cherish the beautiful things in a world filled with ugliness. Most of all, she’s forgiven herself.<br />
<br />
“I have seen a lot shit in my life,” the artist writes, “and after recovering from all that darkness, I’d rather share beauty.”<br />
<br />
Winter is still her favorite season. When the snow falls, she bundles up and wanders into the unknown terrain. She met another dog who became her friend like Nappi. His name was Joppe, and until his passing at the age of fourteen, he spent many days exploring the frozen landscape by her side.<br />
<br />
In a way, after so many years, Törmänen has returned to her snow castle; only this time, it stretches out for miles.<br />

After fifteen years away, the artist made the choice to return home to the North of Finland. She associates the city in some ways with the “dark times,” while in the countryside, home of the aurora borealis, she was able to find solace and comfort.<br />
<br />
When asked if her homecoming has helped to heal old wounds, the photographer suggests something a little more complicated. It takes time, and she’s learning how to cope with the past, not to erase it. Every hardship, she says, has made her strong, and it’s made her cherish the beautiful things in a world filled with ugliness. Most of all, she’s forgiven herself.<br />

“I have seen a lot shit in my life,” the artist writes, “and after recovering from all that darkness, I’d rather share beauty.”<br />
<br />
Winter is still her favorite season. When the snow falls, she bundles up and wanders into the unknown terrain. She met another dog who became her friend like Nappi. His name was Joppe, and until his passing at the age of fourteen, he spent many days exploring the frozen landscape by her side.<br />

<br />
When she was a little girl, photographer Tiina Törmänen built castles out of snow. She spent her childhood in Finland’s Southern Lapland, surrounded by lakes and forests, and each winter, she dug tunnels, doorways, and rooms, illuminated by flickering candlelight. She sang songs to her beloved dog Nappi on dark nights.<br />
<br />
Törmänen was a child of nature; she played with the dogs more than she did other children. She picked wild berries and mushrooms while her family fished and hunted and grew their own vegetables.<br />

It takes time, and she’s learning how to cope with the past, not to erase it. Every hardship, she says, has made her strong, and it’s made her cherish the beautiful things in a world filled with ugliness. Most of all, she’s forgiven herself.<br />

Winter is still her favorite season. When the snow falls, she bundles up and wanders into the unknown terrain. She met another dog who became her friend like Nappi. His name was Joppe, and until his passing at the age of fourteen, he spent many days exploring the frozen landscape by her side.<br />

  • THE MAGIC OF WINTERTIME IN FINNISH LAPLAND<br />
<br />
When she was a little girl, photographer Tiina Törmänen built castles out of snow. She spent her childhood in Finland’s Southern Lapland, surrounded by lakes and forests, and each winter, she dug tunnels, doorways, and rooms, illuminated by flickering candlelight. She sang songs to her beloved dog Nappi on dark nights.<br />
<br />
Törmänen was a child of nature; she played with the dogs more than she did other children. She picked wild berries and mushrooms while her family fished and hunted and grew their own vegetables.<br />
<br />
After an Edenic childhood, the artist moved to Helsinki at sixteen. She survived an abusive relationship, one that she feels robbed her of her teenage years, a time that should have been happy but was instead plagued by fear.<br />
<br />
After fifteen years away, the artist made the choice to return home to the North of Finland. She associates the city in some ways with the “dark times,” while in the countryside, home of the aurora borealis, she was able to find solace and comfort.<br />

  • What bubbles beneath – Beautiful patterns of frozen bubbles trapped in Canada lake are highly flammable methane gas <br />
<br />
Like clouds perched in the sky on a windless day, the white and billowy bubbles in the frozen blue waters of Alberta, Canada’s Abraham Lake are as picturesque as a scene on Earth can get.<br />
But they are hiding a dangerous secret.<br />
These buoyant bubbles aren’t air, they’re methane and they’re trapped inside the frigid lake. That is, until spring comes and the ice starts to thaw.<br />
<br />
<br />
Caused by the decomposition of organic matter—like plants, animals, and microbes—the extremely flammable gas begins to surge up in the warmer months as it floats ever closer to the surface.<br />
For a time, it stays trapped beneath the last remnants of ice. And then the ice cracks and the methane bubbles away into the atmosphere.<br />
That’s when the gas can pose a problem.<br />
<br />
Methane is a greenhouse gas, with 20 times the effect on climate change as the more commonly fingered culprit carbon dioxide.<br />
There are many frozen methane lakes like Abraham Lake. In fact, ecologist worry that as the planet warms, more and more methane will be released from them, and they’ll increasingly add to the changing climate.<br />
Methane is also very flammable.<br />
Scientists working with methane-producing lakes in Alaska proved it was the flammable gas and not something less menacing bubbling up by drilling a hole, pouring in some warm water, like a tongue of flame,fire burst from the frozen depths.<br />
But as dangerous as its flammability makes it, methane is also useful. <br />
Methane lakes are beginning to be utilized as sources of energy, such as the outfit on Lake Kivu in Rwanda. Here, developers have begun tapping into extensive gas deposits underneath the lake to be used in the creation of electricity.<br />
<br />
Similar techniques are being used to mine something called methane hydrate, a frozen and extremely concentrated form of methane, from lake and ocean floors.<br />
Its potential uses and dangers aside, thoug
