found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ziggy Stardust!
Facts about Ziggy Stardust
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tan Or Fawn Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ziggy Stardust's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
Ziggy and his sister had an extremely tough start, abandoned by mom, covered in grease and oil, and only 3-5 days old. He cleaned up a lovely cream tabby. A real cuddler! (his sister thinks he tries to hog all the love)
Other Pets at Bast's Treasures
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ziggy Stardust, a Fayette Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Fayette, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Fayette.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fayette already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fayette breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fayette paves the way for another one to be saved.

Lo the kind roses, loved of lovers, weep

"I made these last night for a Christmas caroling party and they were devoured. Amazing and simple! Thanks for the recipe!"
"The first time I made homemade applesauce, I made it on the stove and not only burned the whole batch, but ruined the pan as well! The second time I made it, I used this recipe and it was PERFECTION. I added a touch of nutmeg but otherwise made it exactly as shared. Love it and will be making it for years to come. Thank you!"
"Excellent, yummy, comforting soup! I added a little more vegetable broth to the correct the consistency and I didn't have zucchini on hand so I added chard. Next time I will add cilantro and a touch of heat, but this soup was excellent. I will make again and again! Thanks for the great recipe!"
"YUM! This is the best fresh tomato sauce ever! I did not peel the tomatoes but let it simmer a little longer. Also added a small can of tomato paste to thicken and used a little more garlic than called for. My family are meat eaters so I added chicken Italian sausage at the end -- delicious!!"
"This was delicious and a nice change (and much healthier) from the normal cheese, butter, etc. I used loads of fresh garlic and lemons juice and it was simple yet amazing. A keeper for sure -- thanks!"
"WOW! I had a ham that needed to be used so I pulled this recipe and was blown away. I took it over to a friend's house for dinner and it was devoured! I doubled the recipe and added a little extra garlic and, sad to say, there was none left over to bring home to my son! Excellent recipe - thanks!"

Here is a pet market… In cages are partridges, they are bought for beautiful singing, wood pigeons are bought to be eaten. At one of the stumps some guys were standing and laughing – there an eagle was being tortured…
The owner shows the wingspread and offers to buy a bird for 50 dollars.
Near is another bird.
The bird is very weak, it is thrown on the asphalt and kicked.
Suddenly one of the vendors takes out a stuffed fox and starts tormenting the bird for laughter of the crowd.
Don't want it to be tormented? Buy it!
The owner agreed to set it free for 20 dollars.

It looks like insect damage to me. Sometimes the leaves of the dogwoods are like that and also the virginia creeper can get like that. Aphids? Thrips? Anyone else have any ideas? Brenda |
- Posted by sierra_z2b (My Page) on Sat, Jul 5, 08 at 10:07
I was thinking the same as Brenda. Aphids or Thrips. Sierra |
My chokecherry trees used to look similar at times. There was also nodules on the leaves. It was some sort of mite. Shelley |
So I googled what both the thrip and aphid damage would look like, and I think it is thrips. Last year I had a ton of aphids, but I think they came after I noticed this on the plant last year. If it is thrips, do I try to use a soap or pesticide on it? I need to find a way to control this for next year, because I can't stand to look at how deformed the plant is, keeping in mind that the plant wasn't my first choice for the area to begin with! I quite like the plant when it is healthy looking and blooming, but since this particular one had only 2 blooms this year anyways, if I can't get it healthy enough to set new flower buds, it will be ripped out. I see no point to a lilac plant that won't flower properly. I did read that thrips generally target one plant in a garden at one time, so I would prefer them to stay on the lilac to be controlled, rather than spreading to my roses! Janet |
- Posted by bemidjigreen z3 MN (My Page) on Mon, Jul 7, 08 at 20:07
Hi Janet-- Just my two cents. I had similar damage on my viburnum. I wasn't sure what it was until this year--aphids. Before this year I had tried insecticide soap and dormant oil this spring. The dormant oil worked somewhat--minimized the damaged in early spring, but the buggers kept their stronghold and escalated. I ended up treated the tree with Bayer Advanced tree and shrub. Its done the trick. I am not much for using non-eco friendly insecticides, but with the leaves being curled over the critters spraying the tree doesn't work very well. Bayer is suppose to work well on thrips as well as aphids. Good Luck--Carolyn |

UniSA's Language, Literacies and Learning (L3) team helps UniSA students develop the language, academic and professional literacies and learning skills needed during university study and in their chosen profession.
Students can get guidance and resources on all aspects of learning at university. This includes strategies for adapting to university, managing new expectations and workloads, developing academic literacies required in particular courses and discipline areas, and general English language development. Students access L3 support both face-to-face (via workshops and 1:1 teaching with L3 Advisers), and electronically (via a huge range of online resources). To start exploring what is available for students, visit the L3 student resources hub.
Staff also work with the L3 team to include in their curriculum the development of academic and professional literacies. In this way, all students enrolled in a course, program or discipline will have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge needed for academic and professional success. More information about how staff can work with the L3 team can be found at L3 for staff.
The L3 team works with both students and staff across each of the University's four Divisions, UniSA College and the Centre for Regional Engagement (CRE) at Whyalla and Mount Gambier.

What enhancements or additions would you like to see? What do you love? What do you hate? Think big and small! We can't promise the moon, but please know that we will read and consider every one of your ideas and suggestions. We appreciate your loyalty and dedication to our site and we know how important your community is to you. Help us make it even better! Please use this post to offer your feedback.

I don't mind the ads except for the ones that scroll out and then shrink on the screen. It is a little frustrating having to chase the links on the screen. I love everything else about this site except Rusty. Can you fix him? |
I like rcbe's idea: A button to take you all the way to the latest post within a thread. (Now, Rusty, that wouldn't be too big a change for you to deal with!) |
I don't like the increase of invasive pop-ups lately. I understand you need to raise revenue someway. This is the only forum of this type that I know of that does not have an Edit and Delete feature. One has a time limit for edit, you just post the message and realize you made a bad mistake but can't correct it here. Another forum doesn't have a time limit for Editing. Sure you have a Preview requirement but an error isn't always apparent immediately and sometimes I forget to count to ten also. Walt Conner |
The search engine on this site needs a major overhaul. You have to start on the correct page, it's hard to find and yields grossly incomplete results. I have tried to find past posts to answer a particular question and very rarely am I able to locate the original post. |
Many other forums have a place for a small avatar and the number of posts, posted. |
The search engine is about the only thing that really needs help. I sometimes have to use Google to search GardenWeb for what I'm looking for. You might want to consolidate or eliminate some of the unused and little used forums. |

TUCSON - A 19-year-old Tucson man has been arrested in connection with the stabbing death of his girlfriend in august.
Tucson police say 17-year-old Ignacia Aranda was found dead of apparent stab wounds on Aug. 9 and Carlos Juaquin Torres Jr. was in the apartment with her body.
Police did not immediately arrest Torres, but conducted an investigation because his girlfriend's death was deemed suspicious.
An autopsy showed she was the victim of a homicide. Tucson police then presented the case to the Pima County Attorney, which obtained an arrest warrant.
Torres was arrested without incident Wednesday afternoon on the warrant, which charges him with first-degree murder.

I got up, put on a long sleeved blouse, It's February...right? And now it's too hot...it's supposed to hit 83 today. Day after tomorrow...in the low 50s for a day or two and then back up into the 80s.
That's the way it's been all this winter. Up, down, up down, up down. I am fed up with dressing for the beach one day and the ice pond the next. I guess I should be thankful that I don't have to worry about the snow blower, it's this uncertain, mish mash of your guess is as good as mine, that's getting to me. I think we can count on one thing....it's going to be very hot this summer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could dress like we did when we lived in Monterey, CA. First, you put on a bathing suit. Then, you covered it with jeans, shirt, socks, and shoes. Then, you put on a "wind breaker" jacket. As the day progressed, you would take each layer off as needed. And then, as the sun went down, you'd put back on as needed. Every day. :) Yes, yesterday evening, we sat on the patio when we got home from work/school, dreading going inside. Because, we knew when it ended the temperature would drop all night long. Winter coats back on today. |
A mish-mash of weather is sort of s.o.p around here, including the zooming temperature changes. Just not quite as far up and down in January and February as this year has demonstrated. I've always had 3 wardrobes: Jan/Feb (triple-snowflake undies, heavy sweaters, heavier coats, warmest sox); July/Aug (as little as decency permits); and the rest of the months which are accommodated in layers for comfort in temperatures that can range from just-above freezing to the mid-80's. Since last autumn, the only wardrobe which has stayed packed away is the skimpy summmer wear. This past week has seen daytimes in the 50's, 60's and 70's; this weekend is supposed to have highs in the 30s and low 40s. I'm presently polishing the crystal ball to determine (a.k.a. making a wild guess) the upcoming last-frost planting date. Historically that would be May 10th to 15th; past couple years last frost was mid-April. I've just about decided a good guess for this year would the very apt first of April. |

Temps are going like a yo-yo here too, but I have not worn a heavy duty wool sweater all winter and the snowshovel has only gathered dust. A local newspaper editor and I decided to do a snowdance since we had just a dusting here and there, but she and I are in the minority, everybody else seems to be happy with the weather. |
You can take it to the bank, if there is balmy weather all through March and April and you put out your garden the first week of May you will have at least one, more likely three nights in the twenties. Mother Nature always has the last laugh. |

We have also had up and down temps this fall and winter. My entire wardrobe is out in the open, nothing is put away. I never know what I'll need from day to day. |

on September 20, 2010 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
Like many developing countries, Bolivia has a nascent, but promising entrepreneurial environment. The country has a good number of institutions that offer financial and technical services that network the country's millions of micro-entrepreneurs. However, as readers of this blog are well aware, data has confirmed time and again that it is young firms that grow that provide the most benefits to society in terms of job and wealth creation and innovation. Thus, the challenge ahead for Bolivia is to enable more growth entrepreneurs.
The current interest in entrepreneurship, even if focused on micro-entrepreneurs, is good news for at least two reasons. First, international organizations like the World Bank and the Andean Development Corporation have supported programs undertaken by the institutions helping micro-entrepreneurs because entrepreneurship, even at that scale, has proven to be a good way to lift people further from the poverty line. The United Nations estimates that 90% of the three million Bolivian rural inhabitants are living in conditions of poverty and marginalization, and entrepreneurship is a useful tool to palliate this human crisis. Second, as Miguel Hoyos from Red Bolivia Emprendedora (RBE - Bolivian Entrepreneurship Network) which hosts Global Entrepreneurship Week in Bolivia pointed out to me, these institutions could adjust their methodologies as the country's entrepreneurial environment evolves to support growth entrepreneurs.
In Bolivia, the government would have a big role to play in such a transition. Bolivia is the country in Latin America with one of the largest percentages of informal businesses. Entrepreneur.com reported that informal businesses employ around 80 percent of Bolivia's working population and the World Bank's Doing Business Indicators ranks the country 161th among 183 economies in terms of the overall ease of doing business. Clearly, reforms are needed in many areas from registering a business to paying taxes. And, according to the 2010 International Property Rights Index from the Property Rights Alliance, Bolivia has the second-worst property rights climate in Latin America. It ranks similarly in indicators of ease of employing workers and getting credit.
How important these factors are though to seeding new entrepreneurs is a matter of some debate. For example, some argue that the messy entrepreneurial process flourishes in an informal economy and that it only really matters whether new entrepreneurs find any benefit to formalization once they gain their footing. Unfortunately, the current government is implementing a model that does not encourage the organic nature of new firm formation and seems to discourage the participation of entrepreneurs in the economy. The Government has also followed economic policies hostile towards local and foreign private investment. This is important to remember, for while government is not necessary to drive entrepreneurship, it sets the incentives that promote or discourage it.
The good news is that Bolivia's young view entrepreneurship positively. As the wide participation in Global Entrepreneurship Week Bolivia's 114 activities last year shows, they are open to explore it as a career path. These young Bolivians understand that they can create a "new" breed of enterprise, different from the micro-businesses that have flourished in Bolivia due to necessity. They envision enterprises that capture opportunities for innovation and that generate more employment, more wealth and improved social conditions for everyone in the process. As Hoyos remarked in an email exchange, government promotion of "inclusive businesses", that is, businesses with a high social responsibility could be a new pathway that supporters of entrepreneurship could follow to win the full support of the government. The task for the organizers of these activities is now to develop educational approaches and methodologies, so that these young potential entrepreneurs are equipped to launch successful businesses. I applaud RBE's efforts in this regard. This organization is working on developing public policy proposals, programs, instruments and any other mechanism that will allow the government to promote entrepreneurship education in the country.
Bolivia has a long way to go to become a startup economy. Yet Bolivians are increasingly more aware of the power of entrepreneurship as a path to do well and to do good. They must engage Bolivia's political environment as allies for progress, showing its leaders that generating new businesses is a key factor to improving the lives of Bolivians, incentivizing them into the formal economy and to winning the fight against poverty.

Marco Polo (1254–1324) was one of the earliest Europeans to visit China—though he was not the first (Friars John of Plano Carpini and William of Rubruck both reached China in the middle of the thirteenth century). It was Polo's account, however, that fired the imagination of Europe for centuries, launching thousands of merchants toward the riches of Cathay. Even Christopher Columbus took a copy of Polo's account, along with letters to the King of Cathay, on his voyage of 1492. The translation and continual reprinting of Polo's manuscript carried its influence well into the seventeenth century, and contributed to the later Jesuit interest in China.
In fact, the early modern missions of the Jesuits in China mark one of the most notable steps in early contact between China and the Western world. Jesuit missionaries who gained permission to establish a residence in Guangdong Province in the early 1580s immersed themselves in the study of Chinese literature and culture and became a crucial link in the transfer of knowledge between China and Europe in the seventeenth century.
The first Jesuit to try to reach China was St. Francis Xavier in 1552, but he never made it to the mainland. In 1582, Matteo Ricci (1552–1610) did, and the Jesuit missions to China began in earnest. Athanasius Kircher, the director of the Jesuit museum in Rome and the author of China Illustrata (1667) was one of the best known "experts" on China although he had never left Europe and knew no Chinese. Kircher was responsible for widely disseminating, throughout much of Europe, tales and images (some accurate, some not) of the fantastical land to the east.
The remarkable cross-cultural achievements in science, philosophy, and literature for which Jesuits like Mateo Ricci are still celebrated would not have been possible without the help of native Chinese collaborators. Ricci provided the first accurate description of the Chinese language and writing system, and he concluded definitively that Cathay and China were different names for the same place. He attempted to translate Euclid's Elements of Geometry as one of his first exercises in writing Chinese, but found it too difficult. It was only years later working side-by-side with "Paul" Xu Guangqi (1562–1633) that the two were able to complete this extraordinary work in collaboration. Together they also wrote Celiang fayi 測量法義(Methods of Measurement Explained). Xu rose to high office, converted to Christianity, and used his influence to aid his Jesuit friends in many ways. Ricci and Xu became lifelong friends. In subsequent decades, other Jesuits like Adam Schall (1591–1666) and Ferdinand Verbiest (1623–88) would be appointed as court astronomers and report directly to the emperor himself.

Perfect Card
Charming Lavender RSVP Postcards I searched online for hours for the perfect rsvp/enclosure card to send out with our invitations. Other websites only allowed me to customize the front side of the card. I loved that MagnetStreet allowed me to customize the front and back of the card. They arrived earlier than scheduled and are absolutely perfect!
Charming Lavender RSVP Postcards The ability to personalize these cards so much (wording, font, colors) was a HUGE selling point & the results were great. The card stock is fantastic as well. My only issues were 1) there was a bit of ink bleeding on a small amount (5% max) of the save-the-dates; 2) the save-the date envelopes were of poor quality & we ended up replacing them (using them for thank yous instead). Overall I am a big fan & ended up ordering our invitations from them as well-- just a few small issues. Still have already recommended to a friend!
In love with these post cards
Charming Lavender RSVP Postcards Absolutely loved this item!!! Beautiful to say the least. Definitely worth every penny. If you buy the matching invitations they go perfect with one another. The quality is better than i thought it would be and the printing on the item is wonderful! U won't be dissapointed!!!
Charming Lavender RSVP Postcards My fiancée and I ordered the entire set for our wedding invitations and they are beautiful! I love the paper it comes on and the color just pops. We have had excellent service with Magnet Street and will definitely continue to use them for all our needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Unlock the entire Houzz
my own garden
I love my garden. It is an on going project and i will never be satisfied, always trying new ideas and plants. This is a Mediterranean style garden with lots of outdoor rooms. Water feature with plaster detail to create antique look. Walk ways with pebble detail and various other add texture and character. Tall hedges surround the property and a tranquil secret garden is the result. Lots of pots with interesting plants can be seen everywhere. Some flower beds boast mixed planting while others show off a multitude of the same specimen. Bird feeders and houses can be seen on walls and trees. There is nothing as beautiful as nature and gardens.

Financial institutions opening up… the 'app era' is here!
Submitted by Chiel Liezenberg on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 23:00 in
The last 2 days, I was at EBAday. 600 bankers and exibitors under one roof discussing 'unlocking the full potential of SEPA'. Lots of panel discussions on innovation, e-invoicing, e-SEPA, etc. During one of these presentations I realised that I am probably missing out on a major interbank 'e' collaboration initiative. As an expert in this domain and generally well informed on such matters, I was instantly worried that we as Innopay had missed a great business opportunity, right in our sweetspot. Let me explain…

The growth of the Service of Social Customer in Twitter
According to a recent study performed by the consultancy Simply Measured, 30% of trademarks that integrate the top 100 of Interbrand have a twitter account destined, exclusively, to offering Customer Service. This decision not only increases commitment of the brand with its clients, but also keeps claims and complaints of the users away from the main account of the trademark.
Even if this data can be interpreted as a positive tendency, brands are still far away from getting the percentages of response expected from users. As the report shows, the average of response of customer care to all references, during the analyzed period (3 months), was 42%, and the best one was 75% for one account. Meanwhile, only 5 of the analyzed accounts kept the levels of response over 60%.
Also, the average time of response was 5.1 hours, too much to cover the expectations of Twitter users. And only 10% of the accounts had an average time lower than one hour.
Among the trademarks that registered the best timing of response, were Microsoft (0.7 hous), American Express (1.3 hours) and UPS (1.5 hours). While the last place goes to BlackBerryHelp, whose average time of response was 19.7 hours.
The final conclusion of the analysis indicates that, with increasing demand of Customer Service, brands have more opportunities to grow and improve their image among consumers. However, in order to achieve this, companies will have to committo give a quick and suitableanswer for the request and expectations of their clients. The low performance on the response (the low percentage of tweets answered within a very extended time) has to do with the fact that big companies have not yet adopted advanced technology solutions, which allows them to solve this issue. Facing an increasing volume of inquiries that arrive through the social networks, brands will have to incorporate a technological service of high performance that allows them to face the demand in a quick and effective way.

Sudden death of Abune Paulos of Ethiopia
His Holiness Abune Paulos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, appears to have suffered a heart attack yesterday and was admitted to Balcha Hospital in Addis Ababa, where he is reported to have died this morning (16 August), aged 76. He had served as Patriarch since 1992.
Abune Paulos was in Cairo in March for the funeral of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, where he delivered a dignified eulogy. Only recently, on 16 July, he met with President Mohamed Mursi during the African Union (AU) leaders' meeting in Addis Ababa.
Abba Seraphim announced that he had sent condolences to His Eminence Archbishop Antonios, the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Great Britain, assuring him of the prayers of the British Orthodox clergy and faithful in their loss.
Ninth Joint Commission Report
Ninth Meeting
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, January 17 to 21, 2012
The ninth meeting of the International Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from January 17 to 21, 2012. The meeting was hosted by His Holiness Abuna Paulos I, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. It was chaired jointly by His Eminence Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, and by His Eminence Metropolitan Bishoy of Damiette, General Secretary of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Joining delegates from the Catholic Church were representatives of the following Oriental Orthodox Churches: the Antiochian Syrian Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church (Catholicosate of All Armenians), the Armenian Apostolic Church (Holy See of Cilicia), the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. No representative of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church was able to attend.
The two delegations met separately on the morning of January 17. In the afternoon, the Catholic members attended a prayer service with the local Catholic hierarchy, clergy, religious and faithful, at the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady. They were greeted with an address by Abune Berhaneyesus D. Souraphiel, CM, Metropolitan Archbishop of Addis Ababa and President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Ethiopia. Cardinal Koch was also invited to speak to the assembly. That same evening, all the members of the commission accepted a gracious invitation from His Excellency Archbishop George Panikulam, Apostolic Nuncio in Ethiopia, to attend a friendship dinner at the Apostolic Nunciature in honor of His Holiness Patriarch Paulos, who also attended the meal.
Anglican-Oriental Orthodox Regional Forum meets
The half yearly meeting of the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox Regional Forum took place at the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre at Stevenage on 10 January under the co-chairmanship of His Grace Bishop Angaelos and The Right Rev'd Dr. Geoffrey Rowell, Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe. Among other bishops attending were Their Eminences Metropolitan Seraphim (British Orthodox Church) and Archbishop Mar Athanasios (Syrian Orthodox Church) representing the Oriental Orthodox Churches and The Right Rev'd Andrew Proud, Bishop Suffragan of Reading representing the Anglican Church.
As usual the meeting was conducted in a positive spirit of fellowship and practical ways of ensuring closer co-operation between the two traditions explored. Bishop Proud, having previously served as Area Bishop for Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, offered some insightful reflections on Orthodoxy and the Ethiopian Church, which were much appreciated by all present. In return Bishop Angaelos updated the forum on recent events in Egypt and Archbishop Athanasios did the same for Syria and Iraq.

World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications, in Montreal, Canada ISBN 978-1-880094-56-3 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
In the WINDS project the consortium partners have experimented with the Virtual University for Architecture and Engineering Design. University professors and their colleagues have created 21 online courses in this field. Their specific requirements have been taken into account in the implementation of the ALE system that integrates the functionality of a complex e-learning system with adaptive educational hypermedia on the Web. In this paper we present the results of several evaluation studies. They imply that suitable innovations, like the concept map, can help us to overcome the "no significant difference phenomenon".
