Using his newly developed Sashalight, photographer Sasha captured
these miners in 1930. The Sashalight was a type of flash ignited by
an ordinary battery, and so safe to use in a mine, unlike previous
flashes, which used highly explosive flash powder.

Today's Top Story

From Missouri's Webster-Kirkwood Times:

Officers received a report of a dog running loose Feb. 28 in the 9300 block of Golden Gate Drive, but were unable to locate the dog. They proceeded to a home on the street where a dog is known to get out of the yard and run at large. Officers found the dog in the backyard but he was panting and seemed out of breath. It was apparent this dog was the culprit. It's also apparent the dog knows what a police car looks like, police said, because they have never caught the dog out of the yard. After warning the owner, the officers claimed the dog was smiling at them when they left.

Priestley Confession

This week's Lifetime feature was Don't Cry Now, directed by my boyfriend Jason Priestley. He also played a character assumed to be a recently paroled convict, but it turned out he was really an undercover cop. Surprise!

With his face bearded and oddly fleshy, there was nary a hint of the pretty-boy appeal he radiated on "90210." Fortunately, the plot was so intriguing I didn't have much time to focus on that. There was a murderer on the loose, and the victims -- including a rather cheap-looking stuffed panda -- were piling up.

Miss Match

Somehow our neighbor made it all the way to work the other day before she realized her shoes didn't match. It wasn't the common navy-black mixup, either: one shoe was green, the other a sparkly silver.

"Is that the new style?" asked her boss.
