Apparently, there's some sort of holiday fun going on in Lawrence just about every day from now 'till Christmas. Apparently, I've lived here four holiday seasons and have been missing out on all kinds of festivities.
No more! This year I've got my handy-dandy "Holiday Happenings" book and I'm ready to be holly and jolly!
This evening I got off to a good start at the "Festival of Trees". I think this kind of thing is done in other places, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Businesses, scout troops, and etc. all decorate trees and auction them off to the highest bidder. The proceeds of both the auction and the small charge to get in and see the trees all go to charity.
There was some of what you would expect, of course--a "Big 12" themed tree, an "Around the World" tree--but some were darned creative:
A few more pictures are here.

Lately, I seem to be having issues with earworms--you know, those songs that get stuck in your head that you can't get rid of. It's so weird because, while sometimes I can figure out where I've picked them up (a week of "Jenny From the Block" after watching Jennifer Lopez in "Enough"); other times they just seem to come from nowhere ("Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" as soon as I opened my eyes at 6:30 Monday morning). I'm starting to wonder if the dogs are secretly playing annoying tunes to me in my sleep.
So, for this week's poll:
What is the worst song you've ever gotten stuck in your head? Longest duration? And, most importantly, how do you make it stop?
Comment and discuss.

Continuing with my Christmas food challenges, "Grow Your Own" is a monthly food blogging event hatched by Andrea of "Andrea's Recipes", that "celebrates the foods that we grow ourselves and the dishes we make using our homegrown products."
But what's growing in frosty Kansas in November, you ask? Well, truthfully, in my garden there isn't much. However, my trusty little rosemary bush is trooping along still--and, if anything, has improved in flavor with the cold--so I decided I wanted to work it into my Christmas candy making somehow.
I love rosemary and I love chocolate, but I only learned that I like them together about a year ago when I had my first Christopher Elbow Rosemary Caramel. It's an odd sounding flavor combination, I know, but somehow it works.
After doing a little research, I ended up mixing a little bit of this recipe with a little bit of this one to get these:
Although I was basically working by trial and error, the flavoring ended up just right. You can just taste the perfect hint of rosemary on the front end and then you get a nice dose of orange. I put the little pieces of candied orange on top for pretty, but I don't know if I would do it again as it kind of messes with the texture when it's all in your mouth. For the recipe, read on. For the round-up of all the recipes that were submitted, click here.

After watching their lovely concoctions appear across the internet for the past few months, this month I decided to join the Daring Bakers. The Daring Bakers are a group of bloggers and bakers. Each month one member comes up with a challenge recipe which the other members then proceed to make exactly according to the recipe, with no modifications allowed. (This is the part that's going to be good for me!) Then, on the same pre-decided-upon day, everyone posts about how it went.
This month's challenge--hosted by Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups--was to make Tender Potato Bread.
The recipe (which is reprinted if you click the "continue" link below) was for a basic dough that could then be made into either a loaf of bread, dinner rolls, or foccacia bread. I made the foccacia bread a few weeks ago, and froze the rest of my dough to use for Thanksgiving rolls.
The bread turned out nicely. The foccacia was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had a nice potato-y tang.
The rolls unfortunately did not survive the freezing process well. I let the dough rise once before freezing. Then the night before Thanksgiving, I set it out to defrost and hopefully rise again.
Not so much. The little yeasties just never came back to life.
It was fun to try something different, but I don't know if I would use this recipe again. I actually really like to make bread. The smells, the mixing, the kneading--it's all very meditative and pleasant. But this dough was just not nice to work with. It stuck to everything--the counter, my fingers, the bowl. The recipe warned to avoid adding too much flour, but I don't know how you could help it; I had to flour in self-defense!
All in all I'm glad the challenge was something new, but it didn't sway me from my old faithful.

Sweet Sister and I planted a letterbox today in my old college stomping ground. As far as I can tell--although there are zillions of geocaches--it's the only letterbox within the town proper. If you want to hunt, here's the clue:
Bananas For Gorillas
In southeast Kansas, there's a lovely little college with a gorilla of a mascot. Find the campus, then find the football stadium. Behind the stadium you'll find a lake and the gazebo pictured. Cross the bridge that's near the gazebo to get to the island in the center of the lake. Once on the island, follow the path to the beginning of the other bridge. Just before you step onto the second bridge, there will be a tree to your left with a hole near the bottom. If you poke around there, you'll find a stamp any gorilla would love.
6/2/08 EDIT: This letterbox has disappeared. :(

As I was setting everything together, getting ready to head to my Auntie's for Thanksgiving, I had to stop and admire my own handiwork. Maybe it's just the pretty spots of pink provided by the cranberries, but gosh I made some good looking food!
After another recipe failed, the rolls were made using my beloved pizza dough recipe (just make balls instead of flat bread); the super simple cranberry-orange sauce came from here; and the Brussels sprouts were the roasted lemon-Parmesan ones I made here. The only really new fun was the cranberry cocktail in the upper, right corner; it came from my Nice Friend, who calls it "Cranberry Tea". For the recipe, click onward. For more pictures of our Thanksgiving fun, click here.

Moe and I planted our first letterbox today! Here's the clue if you feel like going hunting:
Lovely Lawrence #1: Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
To find this letterbox, you need to enter the building pictured, which is on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Kansas. (Hint: You can see this building from the football field, and sometimes you can hear it even further away than that.)
Walk into the building. It doesn't matter which door you go in, but to find the letterbox you must exit the door with the words, "in the vanguard" carved above it. Directly in front of you, there will be a cement bench. Facing the football field from the bench, look to your left. You will see a wooden barrier that conceals a light. Walk around behind the barrier. Facing back towards the building, look under left corner of the barrier. The letterbox is wedged between the ground and the bottom of the barrier, covered with leaves.
If you find the box, drop me a line and let me know what your think!
And I almost forgot--I left the Quasimodo Hitchhiker here for the first finder!
(Letterboxing: P1 F5 X0 / Geocaching: P0 F2)
1/6/08 UPDATE: This box has been ever-so-temporarily removed for repairs. I hope to have it back out shortly!
1/12/08 UPDATE: The box is repaired and back in place!
4/23/08 UPDATE: This box has sadly disappeared. :( I suspect it was removed by the University landscaping crew. I will replace it eventually, but for now there's nothing there but a great view.

I am not an expert in or avid watcher of anything athletic. My glorious sports moment growing up? Scoring eight points in one game on the "C" team in my 8th grade intramural basketball league. Number of college sporting events I've been to of my own volition and not because I had to be there as a member of the band? Two, and I left at halftime of one. I don't know a tight end from a wide receiver. I mumble my way through my workplace's March Madness contest. I'm just not that into sports.
Nonetheless, as you may have noticed by my asides these past few weeks, even I have been perking up for this 11-0 Jayhawk football team.
But, of course, true to my band geeky/social science major roots, while I'm enjoying the games, I'm enjoying watching other people's reactions to the games even more--how people get excited at big guys beating each other up (the gladiators of our time); how much self-worth gets tied up in whether "your" team wins or loses (when you really don't have anything to do with it); and, above all, the way a lot of the normal rules of politeness and politically correctness just go away when you're cheering for your team to wipe the floor with the other guy (because, ya know, you can really only be so polite about that).

Every year about this time I always start a big crop of paperwhites. And every year three weeks later, I go around the house with a packet of stakes and string, tying the paperwhites up because they're falling over on their spindly stems.
Apparently other people have this problem too, because some Nice People at the Cornell University Flower Bulb Research Program have come up with a solution--getting your paperwhites drunk.
Nope, not kidding. Researchers discovered that, when watered with a solution that's 4-6% alcohol, paperwhite growth is stunted by 30-50%. The flowers aren't effected, just the stems. From the Cornell report:
"We suggest planting your paperwhite bulbs in stones, gravel, marbles, glass beads, etc. as usual. Add water as you normally would, then wait about 1 week until roots are growing, and the shoot is green and growing about 1-2" above the top of the bulb. At this point, pour off the water and replace it with a solution of 4 to 6% alcohol, made from just about any "hard" liquor. You can do the calculations to figure the dilution, but, as an example, to get a 5% solution from a 40% distilled spirit (e.g., gin, vodka, whiskey, rum, tequila), you add 1 part of the booze to 7 parts of water. This is an 8-fold dilution yielding 5% alcohol."
The report goes on to say you can also use a solution of 1 part rubbing alcohol to 10 or 11 parts water to get the same effect. That's what I'm going to try this year--it's cheaper than the good stuff--and hopefully I'll be reporting back in a few weeks with some pretty, mini-paperwhites.

As I mapped out my Christmas baking, I noticed that four of the items I was planning to make fit neatly into several blog parties/carousels/challenges I've seen posted here and there. (To wit: Grow Your Own, Monthly Mingle, Festive Food Fair, and Retro Recipe Challenge.) As they're a good way to make new blog-friends, and since I've been baking my little heart out anyway, I decided it would be fun to participate. You can look forward to a little bit of holiday sweetness from me for each challenge in the following month.
But there was a small problem. Although I found four challenges that worked perfectly, I was planning to make five holiday recipes. My poor, lonely fifth recipe was going to be left out in the cold.
I just couldn't have that; after all no one should be out in the cold at Christmas-time! So, I've decided I'm going to host my own little food bloggin' party/challenge, custom made for recipe number five. Here's the plan:
The Joyous Jumble Holiday Food Challenge
December is a month of holidays--from World Aids Day to New Year's Eve, from Night of the Radishes to Boxing Day it seems like there's something to commemorate or celebrate almost every day. For this "Joyous Jumble", pick a December holiday that you would not typically celebrate and make a food associated with it. It can be sweet or savory, difficult or super simple, traditional or with your own special twist--have fun!
If you have a blog of your own, post your creation with a link back to this post (feel free to steal my little logo). Then, using the subject line "Joyous Jumble", email me at blackbird13ATgmailDOTcom with the following information:
If you don't have a blog of your own, just email me your name, a link to the recipe you used, and a picture of your holiday food.
All submissions need to be to me by December 20th. I'll post all of your marvelous creations shortly thereafter!

It's not that I don't like Thanksgiving. I'm actually very fond of Thanksgiving. Really--stuffing, chicken and noodles, pies, parades on TV, a four-day weekend--what's not to love?
It's just that, being rather young-ish still, I always celebrate at someone else's house. Which, even if I volunteer to bring a few things, leaves me without much to do in the time leading up to Thanksgiving. And without stuff to do, I get into trouble.
Because, you see, although I'm trying my darnedest to hold out until next weekend, I'm beginning to feel my fingers prickling to go dig through our big red box of decorations for that other holiday--you know, the one in December? Every year it seems that particular box starts calling me just a little bit earlier, because, after all, I don't have Thanksgiving to get ready for, so why not?
In an effort to make Thanksgiving a bit more interesting and stem the December holiday spread, for this week's poll:
What is something unique that you are thankful for? Canned answers like "family and friends" are not allowed (because we're all grateful for those if we've got 'em). Go outside the box a little--maybe something that might seem silly to everyone else, but makes you happy nonetheless? Maybe something with a little story behind it?
Comment and discuss.

Saturday was a perfect Fall day--a little gray (the better to offset the glorious leaves), cool (but not cold), and just a bit breezy. Sweet Husband was away, Porter was sleeping, so Moe and I decided to head out to find some area letterboxes.
We set out to find four, but things didn't quite turn out that way.
First, I thought we'd try to drop off our hitchhiker at the I-70 Joyrider Hitchhiker Hostel. For this letterbox we were required to figure out several "license plate number" clues to find the correct location. I was able to figure out the general area, but I couldn't figure out the exact location. I'm not good at word puzzles to begin with, and Moe--who was not happy to be in the car when he had been promised a walk--did not help my thinking process. Eventually I had to vow to try again another day.

Whew! Just a quick pop in to say I'm still alive.
I had a four-day weekend and ended up filling every second. We went to a long-awaited concert with friends on Friday and a beautiful wedding Saturday (the lovely table decorations from which are pictured at left). I got a little letterboxing in, have been baking like a madwoman, and even managed to just barely stay awake to watch the Jayhawks go 10-0! (Rock Chalk!)
More will be forthcoming, once I've had just a little time to get organized.

Not long ago, I read a big-brother-is-watching-you themed article about how Google is slowly and steadily gathering more and more personal information on people who use its services.
Now, I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist, but I think the author has a good point. Chances are you use at least a few Google applications. Think about it--Gmail, Picasa, YouTube, Google Reader, Blogger--they're just all so darn nifty! And when you put together a little information here, a little there...well it's easy to see how it could start to add up to a pretty good profile of who you are.
As the author points out, most of the ramifications are in advertising (as in, companies can target ads at you) but I also think it can be surprising what someone doing just a regular old search can bring up.
So, for this week's Wednesday poll:
Go Google yourself. Are you surprised by what came up? Do the results paint a good picture of who you are and what you're doing? If an old friend were trying to look you up, would those be the things you would want them to see?
Comment and discuss.

I was feeling a little "needy" this evening (it's cold, it's dark, it's Monday, and I'm still a little down about this weekend) so I decided to make Nigella Lawson's "Noodle Soup for Needy People" for dinner.
This is, hands down, my new favorite comfort food. As soon as I started slicing the ginger, some sort of aromatheraputic reaction started to take place in my brain. I blithely munched on sugar snaps as I chopped the rest of the vegetables and watched the broth simmer.
And the broth...it's like a hug and a band-aid for your soul--warm and gingery and tangy and cilantro-y. I think I could be content with just it--or maybe it and the noodles. But at the same time, if you put in the veggies as directed you won't be disappointed either. This just might be the perfect soup.

Don't worry Mom and Dad, it wasn't a real one--I picked up a letterboxing hitchhiker.
Much like the little geocaching "travel bug" I found yesterday, a hitchhiker is a mini-letterbox that people carry from letterbox to letterbox. The one I found (pictured at right) was just a tiny stamp and logbook inside a very small plastic bag.
The first time we found the He Said, She Said box, I wasn't prepared with a logbook and stamp. So this morning--since it was gorgeous out--I wandered back and found the box again so that I could properly stamp in. The hitchhiker had evidently been placed there yesterday.
I looked it up and discovered it was part of a series of "Hunchback of Notre Dame" stamps that the placer had liberated from a thrift store in Ohio. This particular stamp was Quasimodo, and he traveled from Ohio to Illinois to Indiana to Tennessee and then mysteriously popped up in my neck of the woods.
I'm thinking of making a few boxes of my own in the next few weeks--if I can figure out the stamp carving thing--so I may save him to stash with one of them...if I don't get the urge to get out and find more boxes before then!

The morning glories were trashed by a particularly cold frost this week, so this afternoon I decided it was time to pull them down.
It's amazing how much vegetation was there--it took me, Sweet Husband, a weed eater, and one very sharp pair of scissors to finally get them detached from the fence. They were tangled and tied around every nook and cranny, and even half-dead the vines are very strong.
Once we got them hauled off, I noticed there were hundreds of little black things on top of the fence and on our sidewalk. On closer inspection I realized they looked strangely like the morning glory seeds I planted this Spring.
In contrast to something like sunflowers where the seed making process is very obvious, the morning glories were much quieter about their propagation. I guess I knew that they had to make seeds somehow--because, after all, they don't just get into those Seed Saver packets by magic--but I didn't really notice anything that led me to believe my particular morning glories were enceinte.
And boy were they! By the looks of it, there will be pretty morning glories at our house--and probably our Nice Neighbors' too--for years to come. And since we're not going to have to plant morning glories next year, I scraped as many as I could off the top of our fence to pass along to friends. (And if you have some to collect--here's how.)
How nice to discover a little surprise after I thought surprises were finished for the year!

As you may have noticed, I'm a one blog woman these days--I just can't keep two or three updated well. That means some of the random pictures that would have ended up on "That Camera Lady" are now just going to get tossed up here.
Like these two. The one on the left is of a tree down the block from me. The other is an Amish cockscomb flower that sprouted up in my garden from the seeds I planted early last Spring.

Social Work Department Accreditation
- Home
- Social Work
- Social Work Department Accreditation
There are two programs within the Department - the Baccalaureate Social Work Program and the Master of Social Work Program. Both are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
The Baccalaureate Social Work Program received initial accreditation from CSWE in 1986. We received reaffirmation of our accreditation in 1991 (1991-1997), 1997 (1997-2005), and 2006 (2005-2013). (Note: Because of the pending site visit for the initial accreditation of our graduate program and accompanying changes within the newly-created department, the baccalaureate program was granted a one year postponement of our reaffirmation review. The review in 2006 was retroactive to 2005.)
In 1999, we received approval from the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education to develop a graduate program in social work. Our Master of Social Work Program achieved candidacy status for accreditation by CSWE in June 2001. The University created a free-standing Department of Social Work as of the fall semester of 2001. Our graduate program received initial accreditation from CSWE in October 2005, retroactive to the date of candidacy status (2001-2009) . The MSW Program was reaffirmed in October 2009.

What may come as a surprise to anybody interested in driving electric is that you can have one of these vehicles right now, for about $50,000. The week after they let us drive their electric roadster, Hybrid Technologies brought a lithium ion-powered Mini Cooper by our New York offices for a test drive (see video) to show us, not the future of electric cars, but the present. Hybrid avoids the cost of developing a ground-up electric vehicle by ripping the powertrains out of standard vehicles and replacing those guts with electric innards. (Watch video of the test drive, story continues below.)
But that doesnt mean that you have no power. The lithium-powered Mini takes off with gustonot surprising, since electric motors have full torque available at takeoff. Handling and feedback through the steering wheel are identical to the standard gasoline Mini, but the throttle has a feeling of abruptness to itthe motor is either on or its off. Speaking of which, turning this car on is one of the most unusual sensations Ive ever had in an automobile. Aside from the dashboard lights, there is zero feedback to confirm that youve correctly started the vehicleno engine hum or vibrationnothing. In fact, I had to cycle the ignition key on and off several times before I could drive off. It brought to mind the horror film cliché of zombies closing in and a car that just! wont! start! AHHHH! Oh, wait, its on.
On the whole, though, its as valid a vehicle as any other Mini, and Griffiths says the company is negotiating with several automakers to potentially make their lithium-ion powered motor just another powertrain option available through the dealer. Right now, Hybrid also creates electric versions of the Smart Car, Chrysler Crossfire and an assortment of scooters. Those interested in a four-seat vehicle can get an electrified PT Cruiseralthough that does entail driving around in a PT Cruiser.
Is a 90 to 100 percent premium over the sticker cost of an ordinary vehicle too much to pay to drive electric? Its a good question. It would take years to get the money back in gasoline savings, but when it comes to the feel-good side benefits of driving a zero-emissions (we know, we know, were not counting the coal-fired electric plants), foreign-fuel-free vehicle, can you put a price tag on that?

Jimmy Fallon To Replace Jay Leno On 'The Tonight Show'
Guess there was a point for that really awkward song duet by the late night titans!
The word from on high has come forth announcing that Jimmy Fallon will succeed Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. NBC says that Leno will wrap up 22 years of hosting service in Spring 2014, which marks the end of his current contract.
Fallon, who currently reigns at the past-midnight time slot with his Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show, will take over at that time. Had the network made the decision to install Fallon earlier — like, say, around the Winter Olympics — it would have had to pay out millions in penalty fees to Leno.
The Tonight Show is having a homecoming of sorts, as it will also return to its original home in '30 Rock' and will be executive-produced by Lorne Michaels. While it is unclear who will take over Late Night, Fallon's current show, our hope is that The Legendary Roots Crew will join him over at the legendary studio to keep the good times rolling.
An announcement is expected shortly.
"Congratulations Jimmy," Leno said in a statement. "I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy. If you need me, I'll be at the garage." Fallon added in a statement, "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow." "Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBCUniversal. "I'm thrilled he will become the sixth host of 'The Tonight Show' at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year's Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia.
On Monday, the two late-night hosts seemed to indicate there was no bad blood between them by performing a "duet" that mocked the ongoing speculation about who's going and who's leaving.

Are you ready for the heat this early? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hit 81F today and should be 82F tomorrow. Rest of the week is below 80F with rain 2 days. So I guess Im getting lucky! |

Ditto on the 90 for here too. |
Nice warm up over here in the west finally. Getting back to normal highs and lows and no rain for a bit :) - US_Marine |

Supposed to get to 88F today, so far the highest temperature according to my yard weather station is only 83F (I say only because it feels much hotter with dew points in the 60s currently and the sun shining bright). I noticed many nursuries now have annuals in stock with Home Depot probably having the most in stock right now. My plants are outside now and the yard is way ahead of last year! Im going to post some pics of my plants soon! Also, my Ice Plants just started blooming today and the cannas survived the winter and are quickly coming up! -Alex |
Blooming for me are the azaleas, iris, bleeding heart, Citrus, lilac, ajuga, and camellias. No, it didn't get to 90 here eIther--maxed out at 87. Sunny, dry week but I see the chance for 1-2 inches of rain in the extended so I'm thrilled. Glad I decided on a Mediterranean-themed garden for the south side of the house--Med fan, ice plants, lavender, lots of rosemary, a pomegranate, and hardy cactus as ground cover. |
Hit 88 on my thermometer. Not ready for that. We're already in severe drought according to the last maps I saw. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 17, 12 at 2:11
So far I have Pansies, some other annuals, "Kramer's Supreme" Camellia, Camellia "Herme", Variegated vinca, Tulips, Delosperma (Ice Plants), mandevileas, and bougainvilleas all in bloom. I got the mandevillas from Home Depot which is why they are blooming so early and the Bougainvillea was blooming indoors and I just took it out so that's why thats blooming well. They were liking the heat! Right now its still in the 70s outside and its 2am! Never did get past the 83F, but thats fine with me for now! Wetsuiter, looks like rain in the forecast for most of the east coast this weekend. That might end this drought or at least help a little bit! Seems like rain and cool weather dominates the forecast this weekend into next week so I'm not worried about the drought, or at least not yet. |
We're coming off of a very dry summer 2011, while NJ, PA and points north were flooding. Almost no precip over the winter and now dry, dusty soils in what is normally our wettest month. Calling for showers tomorrow. We'll see. |
Okay, now it looks like big rain is approaching for late weekend into early next week. Copious moisture from tropical Atlantic and Gulf will be meeting up in the East. Hearing predictions of several inches with potential for flooding. Looks like the opposite side of the coin! Hope you see some in Delaware! |
Well we got NOTHING today. Radar was nice and green, but nothing more than spit. Weekend looking more promising. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 19, 12 at 15:30
Weekend should bring some much needed rain and some very cool temperatures. Weather.com says we wont get out of the 40s! Havent seen high temperatures that cold here since March 31st and then March 10th was the 2nd closest time we last failed to break 50F. Im fine with average temperatures. Today got to 66F which is our exact average and it was a nice day! Tomorrow and saturday should be well into the 70s. Hopefully the plants soak up the sun now because they will be starting next week with cold and gloom. -Alex |
We might reach 90f finally :) For the longest time its been cooler than average, and alot more rainy than usual. We are getting back to average temps, with the next few days above :) Coconut's gonna love this weather. And the first flowers will bloom out on my Star Jasemine. - US_Marine |

Contact this shelter/rescue group to see their pets for adoption. |
Our Featured Houma, LA Partner:
My Heart's Desire
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
PO Box 3553 Houma, LA 70364 |
Email: Website: http://No web site |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
My Heart's Desire is a rescue group based in South Louisiana. We rescue all breeds of cats and dogs. Most of the animals we rescue are scheduled to be euthanized at the nearby animal shelter. We provide a temporary foster home for these animals until their forever families are found. Our mission is to minister God's grace by joining these pets with people who are willing to give them a loving forever home. All or our animals have been vaccinated ; and, if age appropriate, they have been spayed or neutered. Not all of our animals are heartworm tested; however, all are placed on monthly prevention. If an animal tests positive for heartworms, it is the responsibility of the adopter to have the dog treated under a veterinarian's supervision. We are a committed member of the rescue and adoption community. If your rescue is 501(c)3 approved, and we have a dog you are interested in please contact us.About Our Rescue Group:
My Heart's Desire was informally established in late 2002. Last year we obtained our official 501(c) status. We give dogs and cats their greatest hope in trying to find their forever homes. Most of our adoptable companion animals are rescued from our local kill shelter. We are usually their last hope, as they sit on death row.We sponsor the ONLY low cost spay and neuter program in Terrebonne Parish. Arranging and transporting animals to a vet in New Orleans on a bi-monthly basis.
Our Co-directors braved the flood waters of Katrina to save many pets left behind, at a great personal risk to themselves.
After hurricane Gustav devastated Houma, My Heart's Desire arranged and held a free pet food give away for those in need in our community. Over 1 ton of food and supplies were given out to 648 companion animals.
MHD is always looking for donations to help those in need.
Come Meet our Pets:
My Heart's Desire does adoptions on the 4th Saturday of each month at Petsmart on Martin Luther King Blvd in Houma, LA. Please come by to meet your new forever friend!!!Our Adoption Process:
Our animals are looking for a second chance. As this may be their last chance for a happy loving home, My Heart's Desire is very stringent about the adoption process. The prospective adopter must gain approval to adopt an animal from My Heart's Desire, and his new home must meet certain guidelines: 1. All animals currently living in the existing household must already be spayed or neutered. 2. They must also be current on all vaccinations and be on heartworm prevention. 3. All cats are to be adopted as inside pets only. 4. No dog is to be kept outside on a chain. A legal contract will be signed with the adopter agreeing to have un-spayed or un-neutered adopted animals done so within 30 days of the adoption. If the adopter breeches this contract, My Heart's Desire has the right to remove the adopted animal from the home with no financial reimbursement to the adopter.FEE SCHEDULE
The adoption fee for a dog that is already spayed or neutered is $100.
The adoption fee for a dog not currently spayed or neutered is $75.
The adoption fee for a cat that is already spayed or neutered is $25.

WoW Insider Events Guides
Table of contents
Alterac Valley Weekend
Honor and faction are increased during a Call To Arms: Alterac Valley weekend. Make sure to talk to the Call To Arms quest NPCs in the major cities.- Battleground Changes in Patch 2.4
One of the biggest news in the Battlegrounds is the return of the option to queue as a group for Alterac Valley. This should promise more coordination in the newly revised map which sees the Horde starting point moved further down South. - PvP all day, everyday: Concerted Efforts (A) or For Great Honor (H)
Perhaps of all the new daily quests that have arrived with the goodness-filled Patch 2.4, arguably the most confusing and mysterious one is the repeatable quest called For Great Honor for the Horde and Concerted Efforts for the Alliance. - The Art of War(craft): Alterac Valley, Part I - Evolution
Of all the Battlegrounds, AV has gone through the most changes, having received fixes and modifications with most of the patches subsequent to its release. Alterac Valley was an extremely ambitious project for the folks at Blizzard, and it was clear from the beginning that they had very high hopes for it. Did they succeed? - The Art of War(craft): Alterac Valley, Part II - A Ronin's Guide to the Ice and Snow
Unfortunately, there are no armies in Alterac Valley. There are, however, drifters. Ronin, if you wish. Ronin were the masterless samurai of feudal Japan. In a game of AV, what you will have, essentially, is a band of about forty ronin doing their own thing.
The Darkmoon Faire
The Faire travels between Elwynn Forest, Mulgore and Shattrath spending two week at one of those locations, then moving on to the next the following month. Various quests can be turned in for tickets which can be redeemed for various prizes.- Tickets, Please: A look at Darkmoon Faire's ticket reward system
WoW Insider shows you how to get all you can out of Silas and his merry band before they head out for another month. We explore the ticket system, that lovely process whereby Gelvas Grimegate turns Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets into loot. - Darkmoon Faire Decks: An overview
WoW Insider looks at both the old and new decks, listing pros and cons of each deck so you can figure out if you want to spend the next month tracking down cards before the Faire shows up again or just blow your epic flying mount fund on getting a deck before it leaves for the month. - A pet collector's guide to the Darkmoon Faire
Even if you haven't been a long-time collector of non-combat pets such the Azure Whelpling, the Spirit of Competition, or the Phoenix, now is the perfect time to begin. On October 14th, when patch 3.0.2 descends, so does the achievement system, and with it, "Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart," the achievement for collecting 50 non-combat pets.
- Phat Loot Phriday: Last Year's Mutton
Pulverize your foes into mincemeat with this leg o' lamb. Whether you're biting down yourself, or flanking your foes until they're well-done, this club o' grub will let you tenderize even the toughest turkey. I'd steak my reputation on it!

Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganze
Every Sunday aspiring anglers of Azeroth convene in Stranglethorn Vale to be the first to catch 40 tastyfish and claim their prize.- Overview of Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza
Every Sunday, from 2 to 4pm, the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza occurs in STV. That is not always a convenient time for those of us with families, but if you can arrange the playtime, it's a fun way to make some cash and get some cool gear. - Tips for the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza
I can't say that I've ever seriously tried to do the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza -- I've seen it happen a few times, and I love the idea, but I've never committed to fishing long enough to be competitive in it. But I'm reconsidering that after reading these extremely fun tips from Resto4Life. - Using the Cartographer AddOn to track fishing nodes
The experienced gatherers among us know something we don't know – they know where to find stuff. The real old hands know where the nodes are based on years (yeah, literally) of experience. They've collected so much for so long that they've developed time-tested, favorite routes for every zone. And then there are the tech-savvy gatherers who let technology map things out for them. - Fishing your way to profit
Any angler worth her salt knows that fishing can be profitable through selling fish cooked or raw through the Auction House, or even as junk through the vendor. Anglers who are also cooks could profit nicely from raid buff foods such as Golden Fish Sticks or Skullfish Soup, or simply sell the raw ingredients. Even low-level fish sell rather well to those who would like to level their cooking. - Finding the fun in fishing
I will freely admit it: I like the CONCEPT of fishing. The Idea of lazing away the day in a rowboat or on a riverbank, pole in hand, chatting with friends and sharing a brew or two is actually pretty appetizing at first glance. But the question becomes, how to get over the boredom and get to fishing?

All bedrooms come with stunning private bathrooms. The bathroom are designed with natural stone and fixtures imported from Italy. Bathrooms are luxuriously sized with ceiling-height rain showers.
The houses has incredible views of Hell's Gate, a waterway leading to the open ocean at Reid State Park, a boat ride of approximately ten minutes.

Through the creative imagination our thoughts grow wings and the heart finds its voice. We will be working with the spoken word as an artistic and unique expression of the inner/whole human being and look at how this works and affects the community at large. We will be doing playful and inspirational oral exercises in the group with a focus on finding our voice, learning to "see" and opening the doors to the world of creative imagination. We will be working with traditional stories, myths, spontaneous tellings and life stories in a developmental and strengthening way. Everyone is welcome. ***It looks like it's going to rain! So we're taking our Harvest up the road to our Creativity Centre in the East York Town Centre (119A-45 Overlea Boulevard) where our festivities will be in full swing with music, food, crafts, games, and story! We'll see you tomorrow from 1PM-6PM!***

The Ex Factor: Read about us in the Grid
No one would ever mistake the CNE's ramshackle design for a pristine architectural vision. But if you can look past the grimy midway rides, carb-loaded cuisine, and general cacophony, this old-school institution just might reveal an inspiring model for our city's future.
By: Edward Keenan
"The thing about the Ex is that it [shows how quickly change can occur], but does so in a narrow, first-level kind of way," says Buchbinder. "It's not embedded in the community. There are a number of ways you can make an incredible transformation in a space overnight. What we're trying to do is make sure they're part of some ongoing development in the community, that they have roots and resonance."

Diasporic Genius: Transforming the City Through Creative Power
Diasporic Genius Director and Ashkenaz co-founder, David Buchbinder, returns to the Festival to discuss DG's work. In his own words: "Toronto stands at a turning point, faced with a unique opportunity represented by the powerful combined forces of its openness to social and cultural innovation and the fact that it contains within its borders the 'wisdom of the world'. We have here the greatest in-gathering of Diasporic peoples the world has ever seen in the context of a settled culture that may be finally ready to step into its own greatness. I believe that this change can be sparked through the power of Creativity and the catalyst of Story, and that is what Diasporic Genius is about. Diasporic Genius represents the next round of the vision that led me to create Ashkenaz in 1995." Join Buchbinder as he presents the vision and program of Diasporic Genius in an interactive lecture that will bring you a direct experience of the city of the future.

FDOT re-calculates yellow light duration to increase safety
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On June 12, 2013 @ 11:35 am In News & Analysis | No Comments
Following a bit of controversy over the yellow light durations at red light cameras in Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation has announced that it will re-calculate the amount of time yellow lights are active, according to The Florida Times-Union.
FDOT plans to add four-tenths of a second to select red lights in the state. The average yellow light at a camera-installed traffic signal in Jacksonville, Florida, lasts about 4.09 seconds. The statewide re-calculations will take place at traffic lights both with and without cameras.
Mark Wilson, FDOT traffic operations engineer, said the agency is performing the re-calculations in an attempt to decrease rear-end crashes and to give slow-reacting drivers more time to brake for changing lights.
Wilson plans to host a roundtable this month at the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials annual meeting, where participants will discuss the re-calculations.

Business bureau registers hike in permit renewals
-A A +AWednesday, March 21, 2012
THE Business Bureau in Davao City issued a total of 22,474 business permits with logos for micro, small, and medium enterprises as of January this year.
Business Bureau head lawyer Tristan Dwight Domingo, speaking at Wednesday's Club 888 forum at Marco Polo Hotel Davao, also said they noted an increase in the number of new business applications and permit renewals issued, although he couldn't give the exact figures yet.
He said of the 31, 278 registered business establishments last year, 29,120 filed for the renewal of the business permits. Of the total, only 77.11 percent were already issued with business permits with a logo.
Domingo said only 32 percent has not yet received the logos, adding that establishments without permit cannot be allowed to operate.
"Naay uban nga nag-file og renewal pero wala na namalik (Some filed for the renewal but did not return," he said.
Domingo also clarified that four of its printers amounting to P300,000 were damaged, causing the delay of the issuance of the business permits.
The Business Bureau had to buy another six to regain its normal daily operation.
"Dako gyud og factor ang pagkaguba sa mga printers sa delay (The damaged printers were really a factor for the delay)," Domingo said, adding that those also who failed to complete the necessary documents upon the renewal were said to have contributed to the delay.
However, he said the owners of the businesses had longer duration to file for the renewal even before the printers crashed in the middle of February.
Domingo also said the renewal period was extended until the month of April.
As of Wednesday, the bureau's records showed a total of 2,474 new business establishments, of which 1,514 business permits were already issued.
Meanwhile, for 2011, the bureau recorded a total 32,562 micro businesses with a total capitalization of P10.8 billion, 1,585 small businesses with a total capitalization of P10.5 billion, and 340 medium businesses with a total capitalization of P11.3 billion and 79 large businesses with a total capitalization of P155.4 billion.
He said they recorded a total capitalization of P184 billion for 2011, with an increase of P1 billion from 2010's P183 billion.

As reported on MediaPost this morning, OVAB (Out-of-home Video Advertising Bureau) has changed its name to DPAA (Digital Place-based Advertising Association), largely in reaction to the industry trend towards 'place-based' as the preferred designation for locations serving audiences.
As DPAA President Suzanne La Forgia explains:
"Places are the distinguishing factor that helps to cultivate audiences and help cultivate interaction… It isn't just something that is on a roadside, or on the side of a bus. It's in places where people congregate, and how consumers and venue visitors are experiencing these networks.'
This is a name change we certainly appreciate, not only because it captures the expanding connotations of the term digital (as I discussed in yesterday's post), but also because it recognizes the growing traction of the term we use extensively to describe our offerings (LocaModa's tagline being Place-Based Social Media).
The DPAA will no longer support 'static digital signage,' which, again, falls right in line with yesterday's discussion of what digital has come to mean (i.e. multi-channel, engaging, measurable, interactive).
I'm interested to hear the industry-wide reaction of the change, but we're encouraged by the formal acknowledgement of a shift we've been tracking for years.

Good evening. Thanks for this posting. I liked what you wrote when you said,
"This is a name change we certainly appreciate, not only because it captures the expanding connotations of the term digital (as I discussed in yesterday's post), but also because it recognizes the growing traction of the term we use extensively to describe our offerings (LocaModa's tagline being Place-Based Social Media."This decision to change the name of OVAB to the DPAA came after extensive discussion. It was not made quickly or light. This discussion, as has been explained by DPAA leaders, took place within the organization among the membership and with the broader audience of brands and ad agencies that the DPAA dialogues with on a regular, structured basis through its Agency Advisory Board (see http://ovab.org/content/committees#AAB).
Since it was established in 2007 the DPAA has dramatically raised the visibility of our medium with the Madison Avenue community. As a result, advertising revenues to the DPAA member networks has risen significantly, according to industry forecasts from firms that track these trends, such a PQ Media.
This is good for the DPAA members, and it's good for the broader Digital Out-of-Home and Kiosk industries.
Best regards,
Bill Collins

How to practise individual defending skills The best way to practise individual defending skills is to play 1v1 games. Warm up by pairing up your players and get them to stand a good defensive distance (three or four feet) apart. On your command, they try to touch each other's knees. The first player to make 10 touches is the winner. Players can use their hands to deflect their partners attempts. Use this game to practise the defensive stance. Say: "knees bent", "eye on the target", "lean forward slightly", "stay on your toes". Game 1 Create some areas 20 yards long by five yards wide and divide them into three sections. One player (the defender) stands at one end of a channel and passes a ball to a player at the other end (the attacker). The attacker tries to dribble past the defender. The defender gets three points if she can hold up the attacker for 10 seconds in the first third of the channel, win the ball or kick the ball out. If she can do it in the second section she gets two points and she gets one point for succeeding in the final third. Play three or four rounds then switch roles. Game 2 Use the same set-up as above. Place a small cone goal at one end of the channel. The attacker's job is now to score a goal by hitting the cone. The defender gets a point if she can stop the attacker from scoring for 30 seconds. Game 3 Set up a number of 10-yard square areas with a small cone goal in the middle. The defender starts the game by standing in the goal and passing the ball to the attacker who has 30 seconds to score. Again, award a point to defenders who can stop the attacker from scoring by stealing the ball, kicking it out or (ideally) holding up the attacker for the required time. What to say to the defender:

Part 2, Section 5: Small Grains Pest Management
Small Grains Pest Management
A well-planned pest management program for small grains involves using multiple strategies. These should include preventive techniques such as monitoring, cultural controls, mechanical or physical controls, biological controls, and chemical control tactics. Preventive techniques may start with planting weed-free crop seed or choosing an alternative field or planting date. Regularly monitoring for pests is an important predictive tool. Rotating crops to disrupt pest life cycles and planting adapted varieties are good examples of cultural controls. Mechanical or physical controls may include tillage and mowing to disrupt certain pests. Biological controls may include using insect or disease organisms or even grazing animals in pasture production systems. Finally, chemical controls are an important component of many IPM systems, but their use should be based on sound management decisions. See Part 2, Section 1 of this guide for more information about designing an integrated pest management program.
This guide provides chemical control suggestions based on university research and manufacturer recommendations. Management information for common small grain pest problems is outlined in the following pages under "Weeds," "Insects," and "Diseases." For more information on small grain management and variety selection, see Part 1, Section 7. This publication strives for accuracy; however, omissions, inaccuracies, or dated information can occur because of the dynamics of pests and pest management. Seek out additional information from the manufacturer or other reliable sources when making important management decisions. Remember, this guide is not a substitute for the manufacturer's product label.
A good small-grain stand is highly competitive and usually does not require herbicide treatments to control weeds. The foundation of the weed-control program should be proper planting of an adapted variety at recommended populations. Winter annuals such as chickweed and henbit are becoming more common in small-grain fields.
Fields should be scouted in late fall or early spring to determine if populations warrant treatment. Early application while weeds are still small is the key to successful control of weeds in small grains. Apply herbicides only at recommended stages of crop growth in order to avoid crop injury. See Figure 2.5-1 and Tables 2.5-1 to 2.5-6.
Oats, barley, and wheat are sensitive to triazine residues; therefore, use a short residual herbicide program when small grains follow in the crop rotation. Read the corn weed-control section (Part 2, Section 2) for information on the effect of pH on triazine residues, and for weed-control programs that reduce triazine residues.

Hello.....I have a lovely salmon canna that has developed rust over it's leaves. Other than cutting right back, is there another way to treat this disease. I have other cannas nearby that so far are rust free soI want to do something before they also get infected?
I'm also looking for more Cannas to buy or exchange. Thanks, Lynnie |
Follow-Up Postings:
That probably is the best way to go. Cut it back totally, remove any leaves on the ground, wrap it and dispose of it. Keep a close eye on the others. You could spray if you really want to. There are various products readily available in garden centres and nurseries. Cutting back is cheaper and safer. Cheers, Dee. |
Hi Lynnie and many welcomes: There are a lot of technical problems with this web site at present so we cant email members from our "My Page ". I would just try wipeing the rust off or have a look at the link below it states that rust is caused by over moist soil. I have never had rust, but then I dont water my canna's very much the ones near the side of the house just live on rain water or what I throw on them like the water I have rinsed the hand washing in. Around near the bird bath they get more but not a lot more. I have a few different Canna's you are quite welcome to some of the rhizomes I do not need anything in exchange if you want any from the pic below email me at ( email@example.com ) Cheers..MM. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rust on Canna Lily
- Posted by oneacrewonder (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 06 at 21:27
Thanks Dee & Mistymorn....I think I'll try wiping them and if it continues to come back I'll just cut it back and start again - shame really as it's a great bloomer and was my very first Canna. Funnily enough I bought it from Bunnings and the others that don't have rust came from ebay?? Cheers, Lynne |
Canna rust, believe it is also called pawpaw rust, can be hard to eliminate. As others suggest cut off any infected plant material, cut to the ground if need be and then destroy what you have cut off. Bury it! Spray what remains with a combination of fungicides Kocide and Mancozeb to run off, ensuring that you cover both sides of the clean leaves and stems and right to the ground. Repeat this a week later then regularly as a preventative measure. If any rust returns cut off the material and respray. If you just wipe the leaves clean you are only spreading the rust spores. When flowering stems are finished cut them off at ground level so that the clump is kept fairly open. Agree with others that humid or wet condiions are conducive to rust attack but some cannas (Canna glauca) are good marginal or pond plants. Regards and good fortune Me |
- Posted by floridaeric (My Page) on Tue, Aug 6, 13 at 15:49
Once again this year my canna lilies have developed leaf rust. The lilies have only had flowers on them for perhaps 1 month. Last year I cut all the disease plants down to the ground, disposed of the leaves properly, and I think I did spray them with a fungiside. What can I do now? |
