Andy Richter is having a baby. Five of them, to be exact. The former Conan O'Brien sidekick -- who also anchored the hilarious cult comedy Andy Richter ''Controls the Universe'' -- returns to the tube as the star of a new Fox family sitcom, ''Quintuplets,'' where he'll play dad to a passel of unruly offspring. To mark the occasion, we showered him with Stupid Questions.
In last week's issue, EW gave Quintuplets a D-. But did you ever notice -- and I'm not saying this just to cheer you up -- if you turn a D-sideways, it looks like a little igloo with a smokestack?
Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Or, if you turn it the other way, it looks like a smiling mouth with a goatee.
Feel better now?
Oh, what do I care what the nitwits at your dirty rag have to say about us? Tell 'em to go suck on ''Amelie'' if they want something classy.
You recently appeared in the film New York Minute with the Olsen twins, playing a henchman raised by a Chinese crime family. You have less than 60 seconds in which to defend yourself. Go.
Umm...I've got a kid. He keeps eating. Done.
Two years ago, Fox had a show in development called Septuplets, which centered on seven siblings living in their parents' hotel. Will Quintuplets try to make up for this two-child deficiency, or simply settle for being only five sevenths as entertaining?
Wow. This is all news to me. As far as I knew, after working with Mary-Kate and Ashley, I had cornered the multiple-birth market. And if I'd known about this previous thing, I would never have signed on for this, because sloppy seconds aren't my thing. But to answer your question, five's just a funnier number than seven.
You kicked some famous ass on Celebrity Jeopardy! several years ago. Tell me, is it truly an honor to be the smartest celeb in the room?
It's a small honor. It's sort of like being the least retarded show pony. But you know, I beat Brian Dennehy. Not many people get to beat him in anything.
When you won, did Alex Trebek let you touch the 'stache?
Hmmm, let me? His mouth said no but his eyes said yes.
Andy Richter Controls the Universe was critically admired but, sadly, lasted only 14 episodes. Looking back on it today, what did Andy Richter really control?
Four different time slots for two weeks at a time.
You sat on Conan's couch for seven years. Ever find anything cool buried under the cushions?
[Sighs warmly] Only memories. And a piece of Joan Rivers' ear.
Of all the weird, degrading things you did while you were on Late Night, which would you most like to hermetically seal in a shame capsule and launch into outer space?
Once you've spent half the day in a flesh-colored G-string in a room full of stagehands, the shame center of your brain just dies.

Just keep in mind that the type/brand of salt is important. A cup of table salt is twice as potent as a cup of Diamond Crystal. Here's a serious eats article comparing different types. I made this mistake with duck confit years ago.
"What happened to those other underpants you had?" -- Flight of the Conchords
My salt ratio in my brine is anywhere form 3(almost always) to 5% (salt to water) - depending on the protein, size and time.
I like using canning salt when I make a brine. For each quart of water I mix a 1/4 cup of canning salt with a 1/2 cup of sugar. Then either a couple of tablespoons of pickling spices or some garlic powder and some fresh herbs from the garden. I find small cuts of meat like pork chops or chicken breast only need a couple of hours in the brine.

Multiplan Empreendimentos Imobiliarios SA, Brazil's second-biggest real estate developer by market value, gained after the company said profit rose as it expanded total space available to lease by 28 percent.
Shares gained 1.3 percent to 55.42 reais at 1:47 p.m. in Sao Paulo after earlier jumping as much as 2.1 percent in the biggest intraday advance since Jan. 29. Volume was 70 percent of the full-day average of the past three months. The benchmark Bovespa index fell 0.5 percent.
Multiplan's fourth-quarter adjusted net income was 128.5 million reais ($65.3 million), compared with 108.1 million a year earlier, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The total amount of space available to lease at its shopping malls and commercial buildings grew to 528,000 square meters (631,483 square yards) by the end of last year, from 411,700 square meters in 2011, according to a statement on its website.
The increase in available space shows Multiplan "wants to grow faster now," analysts at Banco Bradesco SA's brokerage including Edigimar Maximiliano wrote in a note to clients dated today. "We have a favorable view on this new strategy, given the company's proven development capabilities and high-level portfolio," they wrote.
The real estate company said today in a regulatory filing that it plans to sell as many as 9 million common shares in a primary offering. It did not set a date for the transaction.
Multiplan has soared 41 percent in the past 12 months, while the Bovespa dropped 13 percent.

Civil 3D 2013. I have a 7km strech of road with 3.5 meter lanes, 2.5 meter shoulders and 0.5 meter for rounding. There are small sections along the road where I want to pave the right shoulder making the right lane 6 meters. To do this I copied the assembly used for the main strech, deleted the right shoulder, and changed the width of the right lane to 6 m. To apply the new assembly I am just adding redions within the corridor properties and selecting stations where I want the wide lane. For some reason, the left side of the road shifts in a bit where the wide lane sections are. The left side of the assembly is exactly the same throughout the whole corridor, and I have only used 1 baseline. The left side shouldn't change at all so I don't know what's going on.
Also, some sections the lanes match up at the transition and some don't. In the picture the lane stays together near the bottom when it widens, but doesn't at the top.
Instead of using multiple assemblies, use the same one and target a polyline or feature line that will follow the lane widening.
I can't think of an obvious reason why edits on the right side of an assembly should affect the left side. Based on the description the only thing I can think of is that the subassemblies aren't connected properly within the assembly.
Can you upload the drawing for us to look at? If not the whole thing then just your alignment, prpfile, assembly and the corridor would probably be enough.
Please use the Accept as Solution or Kudo buttons when appropriate
Put in two targets one for the shoulder and one for the edge of pavement. Keep the two separated by a really small distance where you wanted the shoulder eliminated. You will still have a shoulder but you can make it a really small distance.

I recently found this picture that I took in St. Maarten a few years ago which made me stop and think. I wondered how hard the owner of the 120' yacht would have worked to buy it?

Hello all Well I started building a table a thought trim looked nice so bought it from home depot and glued on. Fits nicely and looks good but attempted to paint a scrap extra piece and the paint fills parts of the carving drowning some detail and does not look uniform. Any ideas on how to tackle this..? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What sort of brush and paint are you using? |
- Posted by MeanNgreen (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 7:05
Here is an actual pic. Bought brush from Wal-Mart. Most expensive 2 inch. Was gonna use the latex paint builders used on my house for trim. The rest was primed using a water based primed. |
Maybe try a 1/2 inch or maybe 1 inch brush and use only a small amount of paint. You will need to do mulitple coats. |
If you spray the paint, this won't fill in the detail work as much. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 8:04
I would suggest a smaller brush, painting it with almost a dry brush to minimize the filling of the stamping, and then going over it with a dark stain or glaze and then wiping it off... the dark will catch in the indents so they actually show, otherwise you won't see them anyway. You can also try watering down the paint some to thin it, brush it on and then pat it with a paper towel to blot up the excess paint in the indents. |
- Posted by Geoffrey_B (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 13:38
You could try a base coat of clear acrylic varnish, then sand lightly. I think this will help keep the wood from absorbing the paint. Then use a foam brush, and lay on two very thin coats. Also, you could 'wipe' the trim with a contrasting color - to show off the detail. |

Thanks for your suggestions. You guys are great ! |

bluish mold on roots
posted by: BunnyNomNom on 02.08.2013 at 02:44 pm in Amaryllis/Hippeastrum Forum Hi everyone,
I just potted some amaryllis bulbs outside my house, and tried not to water too much, then it rained! So I got worried and gently pulled up some bulbs to inspect. They seem to have this hairy white/bluish green mold on some of the roots, a bit like the mold on bread. What should I do? Spray fungicide? And what sort of easily available but effective fungicide from a store ie Target or Home Depot would do the job? Thanks for your help! My NOTES: <none>

I was lucky enough to be invited to present two session at TechEd Australia this year. One of which was co-presenting with William Cornwill, who is my manager in my Virtual Technology Specialist Role (v-TSP) at Microsoft in Australia. We decided to present BCS to the SharePoint contigent taking it first from a Power User perspective in SharePoint Designer and then onto from a Developer perspective with normalised data.
The video and slide decks are available on TechEd Online now so please go check them out.
I've uploaded the finished demo BCS solution to SkyDrive for you guys to check out along with the demo notes you can follow through for yourself. I've also uploaded a full sample with read/update also. Will used the Northwind database which is a great place to start with BCS, and I used a custom normalised database but I would recommend the Adventure Works sample to kick start.
Thank you so much for all of you that reviewed my session afterwards on COMMNET. We came in joint second on the Office Track which is great! We had nearly 200 in the room and got 23 submissions, it means a lot to the speakers and in future would appreciate everyones support! It takes 2 secs to fill out!
I warmed up the crowd by interviewing them about who had Windows Mobile Phones and who had Apple iPhones following with who'd dump for Windows Phone 7 when it comes out later this year. Definitely worth a watch!
There plenty of other great videos on the TechEd Australia Facebook page.

This post is part of our user recommendation marathon where users ask recommend questions to us.
Abhishek from TechnixUpdate asks us, Can you give tips on increasing productivity
Well Abhishek, thanks for asking this question and I would be glad to impart few tips and tools that I use to make my PC life more productive, leaving me with lots of time to do other things.
A Clean Desktop
The first thing I see when I boot up my PC is the desktop, I believe it's like a living room of a house. If I keep it cluttered I may always walk into a mess, making it more tough for me to keep the rest of the house clean.
So I like to keep my desktop as clean as possible, only keeping information that may be useful to me on it, like a single folder to dump files (P1) into, a to-do list, a calendar and a post-it note. Keeping my desktop this way allows me to also stay productive with tasks and appointments.
I also use a quick launcher to keep all the applications handy, so that I can keep my desktop de-cluttered and also have access to things that I want. Take a look at my desktop below (Click to enlarge it).
Tools I Use For My Desktop
Related: 11 Useful and Free Pin Note Applications
Organized Files and Folders
I usually organize all the files and folders into a neat structure, so that I can find something that I want easily, without having to break my head. It is a simple structure clubbing softwares that are for media into a folder named media softwares and so on. I follow the same rules for my documents, images I use for posting and almost every other file. I organize it this way, so that it is much more easier to find something the next time I want to.
A simple formula I use for files and folders is derived from how music is organized into artists, genres, albums and so on.
I tend to install softwares into directories they make sense, so that I can find them whenever I want. For example I use Daily Use Utilities to keep all the utilities I use daily.
Tools I Use to Enhance File Organization
Keyboard Shortcuts
The first thing I do when I download a new software is, learn about the keyboard shortcuts, yes I am very particular about not wasting my time, doing things I can do with keyboard shortcuts. I also use keyboard shortcuts for making use of inbuilt functionalities that are built in into Windows.
There are two keyboard shortcuts I love in Windows Vista, one which allows you to launch your quick launch applications and another one which allows you to control the system tray with the Windows key, you can read more about it in our earlier post about utilizing the Windows button as a useful hotkey.
Other than that I use Launchy to load applications faster than ever, without wasting any time.
Make File Navigation a Piece of Cake
The one thing I always despised while saving and uploading files was the need for me to browse to the right folders, and to be quite frank that was the most time wasting exercise I did, since I save several files and images regularly, and to top it the number of attachments I have to send across on a day to day basis.
To make my life easier, I use several softwares that allow me to navigate folders easily, so that I do not to browse through, to get to the right folder. The one I love and use religiously is Direct Folders.
Related: Add New Locations to the Places Bar | How to edit Custom locations in file open/save dialogs | Adding Breadcrumbs to address bar in Windows XP | Jump to your Favorite folder in File open/save dialogs
Well there are quite a few more things that increase productivity, but that would be in the next episode. Hopefully these tips and tools will help you become more productive.
Abhishek, hope you found these tips useful, there are several more to come. So keep tuned.

December 13, 2012, 12:00 AM
By Scott Raab
SR: An angry black guy.
NT: He was iconic before Mike Tyson. I wanted to show him as a human being and somehow redeem his memory.
SR: Do you have a new subject in mind?
NT: When you walk into a Barnes & Noble, it's all this "How to" shit. How to Get Rich, How to Find Inner Peace. An idea I've played with for the last few years is to do a book like that but an honest one. Like, "Fuck moderation, fuck the job, and fuck the getting rich because they're gonna take it off you anyway." There's so much I wanna write and so little time. Mortality applies to every aspect of life. The fear of death is the driving fear of life.
SR: It gives everything meaning. None of this would mean anything without death.
NT: The thing is, the more you fear death, the more you die. So it really doesn't pay off. It's a fear of the dark. Like any experience in life, you wonder, Well, if this ever happens, how would I react? and then it happens, and only then do you know.
SR: How do you start writing a book?
NT: I sit there, I come up with an opening line, and then I go little by little. I'll wonder, Well, what's coming? And that goes right through to the very end. For over a dozen years now, I've had a recurring dream where I'm reading a book and the pages are blank, but as I read, the words come to exist as fast as my eyes can move. Strange, strange thing.
SR: Does it feel like hard work to you?
NT: It's work. Sometimes I feel contempt for people who describe themselves as artists.
SR: Was there a book you read early in life that made you want to write?
NT: When I was young, I kept trying to read Moby-Dick, and I couldn't get that far into it. And I kept thinking, Well, man, if I can't read the great American novel, I could never be a writer. And this bothered me a great deal. But the fact that I never could get my way entirely through Moby-Dick didn't mean anything. I think it's the most noble failure in history. There was great nobility in both Herman Melville and his idea, but as he himself wrote in a letter, "It's harder to get poetry out of whale blubber than it is to get sap out of a frozen maple tree."
SR: Did anyone encourage you in your aspirations?
NT: Certainly not at home. My father, God bless him, thought it was such an impossible desire to be able to make a living that way. I was destined to go into the bar business like him or go to college and be a lawyer. I was not encouraged, and in a way maybe that made me more hardheadedly committed to it.
SR: Did you try college?
NT: No, I didn't. I wanted to just get a job so I could have enough money for my own apartment and be able to get drunk. And I did. Back then, on $125, you could do that in Manhattan. I was 19 years old the first time I got published and paid. I think it was a hundred bucks. I stared at my name on the check for 20 minutes.
SR: And you've worked as a writer ever since?
NT: I've gone more than 40 years without having to use an alarm clock or go to an office. At this point, I don't think I'd be capable of it. I don't think I could deprive myself of that sky. It would be like putting an animal in a cage.
SR: There's little freedom in it.
NT: You got guys that are so old, you see them eating lunch, the drool's just coming from their mouth, and they're sending around memos about 10 percent crosscuts. If I had one tenth of their money, I would be free. They don't know what freedom is. It's a disease. You're one of the rare people that is given freedom, and what do you do with it? You don't live. You choose to be dead in life. Money buys freedom. I mean why is this guy with the slobber worried about taking food off other people's tables? His $19 billion won't get him from where he is to the grave comfortably? That to me is a disease.
SR: I think that taste for freedom is what gets squeezed out of most people, whether it's by the school system or their parents.
NT: I think the tendency with parents is to make your kid not unlike the next kid but to overprotect and say, "My way's better than whatever you've got in mind." But by the time that tie's over that shoulder and they're drinking that obligatory brewski with the boys, it's like, Man, who are you people?
SR: Maybe there's not enough of an emphasis on reading great books early in life.
NT: They say nobody has the attention span. If I start to read something good, I'll look and it's 86 pages already. Attention span. What are they talking about? If it's good, it'll drag you in.
SR: But you gotta crack that book.
NT: To me, it's one of the only experiences left where what the reader does is half of it. You go to the movie, all this other stuff, it's like you're looking at the wallpaper. But you read a book and you get to put your take in there. The writer does half and the reader does half. That is the magic of it. What a wonderful fucking experience.... Think we got enough here?
SR: I could sit with you and talk all day, Nick Tosches.
NT: One of these days when you're in Manhattan not doin' nothin', and you wanna just go hang out on a bench — we could do that and just bullshit.
Date of Birth: October 17, 1949
Provenance: Newark and Jersey City, New Jersey
New York City Arrival: In 1969, at age 19, working at the Lovable underwear company while publishing his first piece of writing in Fusion magazine.
Prized Footwear: Loafers, leopard-skin (real), cougar-skin (fake)
Cigarette Brand: Parliament (outdoors), Camel (home)
Number of Published Books: 18. The most recent, Me and the Devil, a novel, was published by Little, Brown in December.
One of the Best Lines from The Devil and Sonny Liston: "He was too cool to be real, too real to be cool. He just was what he fucking was: Charles L. Liston, mightiest of men, sharpest of dressers. Had more pasts than most people had socks. Go on, pick a past, any past. They were all the same to him: sand slough and alleys, barrooms and prison cells, fancy ass big bad gangster men and bent-down cotton pickers. All the same."
One of the Best Lines from His Poem About James Franco in the September 2010 Issue of Esquire: "I mean, like, who the fuck are you?"

1Jul 29, '08 by oncnursemsnThis has been mentioned before- but why are you in the specialty you're in? What keep you there coming back shift after shift? Being in oncology nearly 26 years, I'm biased and think this is a very special population. Kind of goes with the "write about a patient or family and situation that impacted/changed/moved/motivated you."
Thanks Brian- I'm including "All Nurses" on the syllabus this year for my med surg students in the fall.brian likes this. -

As for the previous Articles, I have learnt and felt so much from the ones I have read. The simple imagery with such powerfull messages has taught me more than University ever could, I thank everyone for sharing in this way. -

As a new graduate, I was amazed at the way any of the above responded to me in anger. I was not prepared to deal with any of them and reacted by being hurt, wounded. It took years to gain enough experience/confidence to effectively cope.
Most of us do not expect to encounter "bad behavior" in stressful situations. It can provide stress that prevents us from wanting to return to work. How do we react in situations to prevent "enabling" the behavior to continue? We could share our experiences of EFFECTIVELY defusing situations and learn from each other. -
0Aug 7, '08 by julius cezarhi everybody, i would like to suggest that we should have an article in connection with bioethical issue that affects nurses' decision in providing quality care; that will also bring guidance and teach us a lesson. thank you.
0Aug 8, '08 by brian, ADN AdminThanks for all the suggestions. Please keep this thread going as we will use it for future article contest.
As someone already mentioned, some of the ideas posted here would make better threads or polls, than Article Contest Themes.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated! Again, please keep the ideas coming! -
0Aug 15, '08 by peachie3.31Standard of care, I think and agree would be a good topic. Nursing staff taking pride in their job and heart with the patients.
2Aug 17, '08 by smiles04Please lets do a article on post traumatic stress. what it is and support groups and how it affects family and spouses and how we can offer support as nurses. This thing is huge the more I learn the more interesting it becomes it is a family breaker and is so sad for our military people who get out and have to deal after combat or injury. we all need to know more about it for our jobs and our friends and our lives.twistedpupchaser and Babs0512 like this.

Troops who deployed to Afghanistan in March 2010 were the first to be issued with the multi-terrain pattern (MTP) combat clothing, taking into consideration the range of environments in Afghanistan such as woodland/jungle, compounds, crops, grassland and arid stone.
The change to the British camouflage pattern is the first in 40 years.
The latest camouflage pattern was trailled in laboratory tests and field evaluations. This included aerial and scientific photography to provide the right colours and brightness to make the new camouflage pattern.
Computer modelling was used to represent the Green Zone, deserts and mixed environments in Afghanistan.
Since then the MTP has been phased in throughout all the British Army corps and regiments based around the world to replace the previous Combat 95 uniform.
Taken from http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/personal/1453.aspx
It is also understood that the UK Army cadet Force will start to get issued the new kit from September 2012.

I've been a bit frustrated with my lack of options for shirts, so I've been making an effort to make more time to sew for me. This is one that I really only like in this outfit. The shirt turned out way too short, even after adding to the pattern length. I used a clearance nightgown for the fabric so it is nice and soft. The pattern is Ottobre 2/2011 #1 Trento. I have a favorite t-shirt pattern, but thought I'd give this one a try for more variation.

Serendipity Blouse and Capris & Giveaway
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of pattern testing for The Mother Huddle. Destri has a great new set of patterns out called The Serendipity Collection. I really suggest looking around her website, sewlosophy.com. She did an amazing job and her videos make me want to be best friends with her.
I tested the blouse and capris. These were some of the best patterns to test. The pattern was very easy to follow and the attention to detail was spot on. They really easy to customize to your tastes; it can be done in all the same fabric or two like I did on the blouse. I also added piping to the bottom of the yoke on the shirt.
The capris have darling little cuffs and there is a front yoke. My husband said they remind him of Aladdin pants, which I didn't see till he said something.
Destri is super awesome and is letting us testers do giveaways for the whole collection; blouse, trousers, coat and hat! Just enter via the rafflecopter below.

Project Run and Play "Signature Look"
Thing after thing came up to keep me from getting this done, including a cold when I was trying to finish up. Then it was raining so I couldn't get any outside pictures and this house has zero natural light.
The pattern calls for twice as much fabric for the skirt width, but apparently I can't read and was working from a half yard bundle. I used Michael Miller's Glitz. Laurel's is Mist and Eleanor is Glitz. For the binding I used some glittery gold quilting cotton.
For the buttons, I used some beautiful gold and ivory floral buttons that were my grandma's. The girls really love their new dresses. Laurel even threw a tantrum when I tried to take it off.
Saturday, April 12, 2014
This week we spent so much time outside. It was lovely.
Both girls love swinging. Eleanor enjoys it most every way possible; normal, belly, spinning...
I love this picture of Laurel. So sweet.
Monday, April 7, 2014
Project Run and Play "Design Your Own Fabric"
I found a large scrap of gray leftover from a shirt I made me, which was plenty large enough to make a basic skirt for Laurel. I sewed the tulle ruffles on in a wave pattern and with the remainder of the roll I made a layer of tulle under the cotton fabric then constructed the skirt. Basically this outfit is just covered in gathers and ruffles. I love how poofy it is!
The gray made me think of elephants so I made a shirt with an elephant holding a balloon. I used Terra's Treasures pattern for the peasant knit top (it doesn't look like she still sells that exact pattern anymore, but there is another one that is similar but with more details). It would have been a very easy shirt if my serger would have cooperated and then the bobbin elastic. The knit came from the scraps of a clearance shirt that I cut up to make the picnic shirt. I appliqued the elephant and balloon on.
Saturday, April 5, 2014
This week I was/am super sick so I didn't take any pictures. All I have this week is a picture I stole from Michael's phone.
The girls sneaked into Grandma and Grandpa's room to play. Laurel is trying on Grandpa's reading glasses.

Project Run and Play "Spring Break Challenge"
This week's challenge is to design an outfit based on a favorite vacation spot or dream vacation. My favorite place to visit is the Oregon Coast, so I used that as my inspiration. Just like at the coast it was a bit windy when we went to do pictures so it was hard to get very good ones with a very wiggly 4 year old.
I made capris since they are perfect for dipping toes in the ocean. I used the Ottobre Designs pattern 'Row Boat' from 3/2013 in the smallest size, because Eleanor has a tiny waist and I wanted them a bit shorter than pictured. It might be hard to see, but there are cute little button tabs at the hems. I just learned that Eleanor doesn't like pants to hide her belly button so they look way longer than what they should. Silly girl.
For the top, I used Hollywood Cerise from the 3/2012 issue of Ottobre Designs cut to a tunic length. I bought some super cute wave fabric with paper boats on it last summer that I knew would be perfect. I didn't want the waves to over power it so I just some red for contrast. I also did all the stitching in red so it shows some all the details when you see it in person.
I love the buttons going down the back.

I'm being cared for by:
The Delta Humane Society of Louisiana
Facts about Starbaby
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
My name is Starbaby!
Starbaby's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
All of our adoptable pets are housed with foster families. When age appropriate, they have been spay/neutered, crate, leash and house trained. They have all been living in a family environment so have been evaluated for temperament and personality. We believe that we should know each pet well enough to make sure that when adopted, everyone lives happily ever after.
Starbaby is a perky little porker. She was very thin when she came into rescue and her foster mom (as she often does) overcompensated and now Starbaby needs to lose just a teeny bit. She is still active and playful. She is a happy go lucky little girl and loves other dogs and people after an intial time to warm up to them. She was very shy when first rescued but has come a long way. She would love a family with lots of kids to play with and watch after. Starbaby has chased outside cats for the fun of it but is just curious about inside cats and keeps her distance now that she knows they have sharp edges :)
Starbaby was a light heart worm positive when tested over a year ago but has been on a slow kill treatment since then. She will be tested before placement and DHS will be responsible for continuing treatment.
Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
The DHS organized in November 2008 to care for the unwanted and neglected animals of Northeastern Louisiana. We are funded only by donations.
About The Delta Humane Society of Louisiana
About Our Rescue Group...
DHS promotes the compassionate treatment of all animals. In our area of Louisiana, there is no shelter, animal control or another animal welfare organization. We are their only advocates and we need YOUR help to make a difference.Come Meet Our Pets...
As we have no shelter, all of our adoptable animals are housed with families. Please email email@example.com to arrange a meet and greet..Our Adoption Process...
Our adoption process has 3 steps. First we ask that you complete an application at http://www.thedeltahumanesociety.com/user/login?refererPageID=1359&keyID=1105&referer=/forms/form.phpQu8formid=1105Am1requirelogin=YesOnce the application has been completed, we ask to do a brief, informal home visit. Once that has been completed, and you have been approved, you will be able to take the pet home for a sleepover that can last for up to 10 days. If you are satisfied that the pet is compatible with your family members, other pets and lifestyle, we will make the adoption final. Our adoption fees vary but the average is $250.00. The pet will have been spayed or neutered, have completed all of his vaccinations and be ready to go to your home. Finally, you must sign a contract that if, at any time during the life of the pet, your situation changes, it must be returned to us or we must give approval if you have a potential home. You can get more details on our web site.

noun \ˈkän-dər, -ˌdȯr\: a very large black bird from South America or a related bird from North America
Full Definition of CONDOR
Origin of CONDOR
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Either of two species of large New World vultures. Two of the largest flying birds, each is about 4 ft (1.2 m) long. Both feed on dead animals. The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), which ranges from the Pacific coast of South America to the high Andes Mountains, has slightly longer wings (10 ft [3 m]) and is black with a white ruff and bare pinkish head and neck. The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is nearly black, with white wing linings, a bare yellow head, and a red neck. It hovered on the brink of extinction in the 1980s, and every California condor was captured. Careful nurturing has since led to the release of more than 200 condors into the wild.

Bio and Links
If you are new to findagrave, I suggest you read "frequently asked questions" carefully before making entries or requests.
Since I get a huge volume of requests, please make it easier for me to add biographical information, relationship links, or corrections by going to the page you want linked or corrected and click on "edit." Your info will be emailed directly to me and I can click on the link. If I get the email I will make changes, but generally I don't have time to email you. Please double check dates and info; if multiple items are misspelled or have typos, I am inclined to believe the other material may also be erroneous.
PLEASE NOTE THAT "TRANSFER REQUESTS SHOULD BE FOR DIRECT RELATIVES WITHIN FOUR GENERATIONS" as per Findagrave policy- see FAQs. Please state your relationship in the request. You are able to add photos to any entry.
When the website started there was no option for linking relatives. I am happy to add desired links: please double check your numbers so errors don't make double work for both of us.
I am related to some of the people I have added; entries are also posted in the interest of genealogy and history, and the hope that someone will add my lost ancestors.
Please take digital photos of old gravestones in your area; some that exist today may crumble in a season or two, especially in areas with winter frost. In a way, your photo will preserve it. Perhaps it will be the only record of a particular gravestone. Please do not apply any substance to a gravestone to make it more legible; it damages the stone.
You may use my findagrave photos for your personal use, with attribution; anything to be published - please contact me for permission. Click on photo for larger format.
If you are requesting a photo in a large cemetery please take the time to get section and plot number from the cemetery office, if there is one. Your request has a better chance of being fulfilled that way. Most volunteer photographers work on the weekends when cemetery offices are not open.
Verify everything; transcriptions and even information "written in stone" may be inaccurate. A good example is when the date April 31 appears on a gravestone.
Most of the CT cemeteries have already been added to findagrave. When in doubt check under "New" and "Old" to see if you've missed the listing. Please HESITATE before creating a new Connecticut cemetery on findagrave. I'll be happy to research it for you to avoid duplication; so many alternate names and town name changes make it likely it is already listed in another place. The majority of CT cemeteries that existed in 1934 were surveyed on the Hale Index: www.cslib.org/halecol.htm. Although it contains errors and omissions it is still very helpful.
Another source of information is the Ct Gravestone Network: www.ctgravestones.com.
Your local library or historical society can also assist you. Ask for the person most familiar with the cemeteries or the history of the town.
For additional help visit the findagrave forums.

Thank you so much for the photos of the tombstone of Giles Wilcox and his daughter Sarah. Is the Old East Cemetery in a state of disrepair? I do not know how you managed to find this stone since it seems to have deteriorated so much. Your efforts are appreciated.

North Stamford Cemetery
Hello Jan,
We have a few ancestors in common. I was reviewing the Find a Grave information on several of the Scofields and saw your picture of North Stamford Cemetery behind the chain link fence at the reservoir. First, I wanted to let you know that you typed the location as Lakeview Road, but it's Lakeview Drive. Second, I see that you and Mike Perry must have been able to gain access to the stones at some time. Could you please fill me in on who to contact to do this? Next time I come up for a visit, I would very much like to see some of the graves. Thanks so much!

RE: Doolittle & related gravestone photos
Thank you so much for your permission as well as All the Hard Work (I've been photographing gravestones here in Colorado, too!).
Find-A-Grave has been such a wonderful resource to find, contribute to and share our ancestors... It takes great volunteers, like you, to make it what it's become!!
Again, thank you so much - I will, of course, give you full credit for any/all photos of yours that I use!

'Manly' Quilt is complete!
That's a lot of plaid - but my son loves his latest quilt and could hardly wait for me to finish it before adorning his bed with it.
I decided to stipple quilt the mad plaid-ness of it all with a variegated blue quilting thread in both the needle and bobbin.
I used plaid everywhere on this quilt! The backing is a flannel sheet I found brand new at the thrift store. Can you believe I had to unpick the side seams of the sheet to have just enough and the binding for the quilt is from a garment I made years ago? Not only is my son's quilt very 'Manly', but it was very economical to make (the latter point only impresses me - the first point is all my son was concerned with ;o)

Wow. It's a piece of art. And you might THINK it doesn't impress him that every bit is reused. Listen to my uncles talk about their mum and what she could do with absolutely nothing and the pride shines so bright! I'll be he's really proud of you in so many ways you don't even know about.
I can just hear him talking to his wife someday... "you spend HOW much on that fabric? my mum would've made..." eeek! Poor woman! - May 6, 2008 at 11:25 AM

I have about 1/3 (+ or -) acre of lawn that I would like to plant with wildflowers. Last September I sprayed round-up to kill the existing grass. My original plan was to till the area this spring then keep going over it every couple of weeks through the summer to germinate and eliminate as many weeds as possible. I would like to sow the flower seed this fall.
The problem is that the area I have selected is moderately sloping and I am concerned about soil erosion. Would I be better off laying down plastic over the summer (that's allot of plastic)? Would that be an effective method to eliminate any dormant weeds in the soil? If so, is clear or black plastic better and what is the minimum thickness that I should use? Also, how do I prepare the seed bed in the fall? We get a fair amount of rain through the winter so soil erosion would still be a concern. Could I till the area, spread the seed then cover with straw for the winter? I'd appreciate any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
i wouldnt till it. tilling opens up a whole other can of worms. (get it ?:) not knowing the exact site, i would recommend this... keep the dead sod inplace to help protect from erosion. dont over spray thru the summer, let the stuff grow before u kill it (not letting them flower ofc.). dont spray just to kill out annuals, spray to kill the longer lived stuff. mow/ weedwack the annuals and general growth back. put in hay bails where u think u have water flow issues. and in the fall, throw the seed out and drag the soil with a drag (some ppl just drag around an old bedspring, i happen to like to get a bit more mixage. i have an actual drag. a hard rake will do the same cept it sux to hardrake a 1/3 an acre of soddy soil :) froggy |
I agree with froggy. You are on track to seed this fall/winter. Don't till. Mow occasionally to keep annual weeds from setting seed this summer. Spray with glyphosate again at the end of the season to kill any perennial growth in the plot, then prepare the surface to expose a little bare soil in the fall before seeding. |
Thanks froggy and john MO for the advice. This might be less work then I thought but I guess I'll have to wait and see how many weeds start popping up before I make any predictions. |

With the announcement of University of Montana President George Dennison's retirement, I would like to lift up his significant contributions to campus civic engagement and community service in this state.
Dennison is nationally known and respected for his leadership and innovation to ensure that the student experience was well-rounded by involvement in the community, connecting scholarship with service. For many years, he chaired the Montana Commission on Community Service, where he provided leadership and resources to help make Montana's AmeriCorps programs among the best in the nation. He helped establish and support Montana Campus Compact, Montana Campus Corps and Montana Literacy Corps programs, providing opportunities for students to bring about measurable improvements in their communities while earning scholarship credits. The UM Office of Civic Engagement has enriched the school and the community adding value and meaning for generations of students.
During my service as director of the Governor's Office of Community Service, I witnessed firsthand the dedication and commitment of Dennison to these efforts. His legacy continues on campuses and communities across the state.

B.S. Business Administration/Finance (2007)
- His film, Fruitvale Station, about an unarmed African American man killed at an Oakland BART station by a transit policeman on New Years Day 2009, has become a cinematic force of nature. It won the Grand Jury and Audience awards at the Sundance Film Festival and captured the Prize of the Future at the Cannes Film Festival.
- His humane commitment suffuses the 83-minute Fruitvale Station because he knows it could have been him shot to death that fateful New Years Day.
- Grew up in East Bay and attended Sac State on a football scholarship. His 112 career receptions as a Sac State wide receiver rank fourth in Hornet football history and he's a three-time winner of the Big Sky Conference all-academic award.
- He notes, I learned this from football: If you get talented players, a lot of the work is done for you. If you cast the right actors, if you find talented actors who are great people to begin with, all that work is done for you.
- His guiding principle remains not to think about making a sale but making a film thats true to your goal and has the impact on the audience you desire. All the other stuff will take care of itself.
