Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
This week, I'd like to share 10 of our best-selling river cruise itineraries, based on bookings made by Vacations To Go customers. On these vacations, you'll glide along scenic and historic waterways in an intimate, comfortable vessel, enjoying river-view staterooms, fine dining and personalized service. Daily excursions ashore and onboard entertainment and enrichment activities also are included in the upfront rate. Below are the itineraries, in no particular order. To see departure dates, rates and any accompanying promotions on these popular trips, please click the links below. Rhine Getaway, 8 days with Viking River Cruises -- This itinerary travels between Amsterdam and the Swiss city of Basel. Highlights include the windmills of Kinderdijk, the impressive Gothic cathedral of Cologne and the storied Black Forest. The ship stays in the wine town of Rudesheim until after midnight, allowing guests to sample the local dining scene if they wish. Grand European Tour, 15 days with Viking River Cruises -- Sail the Rhine, Main and Danube between Amsterdam and Budapest. The route is lined by castles in Germany, vineyards in Austria's Wachau Valley and Old World cities like Vienna, Nuremberg and Bratislava. On board the vessel, attend a demonstration of German glass-blowing and a tasting of Dutch cheeses and jenever, a juniper-flavored spirit. Southern Culture (New Orleans to Memphis), 8 days with American Queen Steamboat Company -- Delve into the music, literature, cuisine and traditions of the South on this Lower Mississippi River sailing, which takes place aboard the elegant American Queen paddle wheeler, the largest ship to cruise the famed waterway. The itinerary includes a day at Oak Alley plantation; refurbished in 1925, it was the first antebellum restoration on the "Great River Road." The Blue Danube Discovery, 8 days with Avalon Waterways -- Spend a day in Vienna, taking in the opera house and Hofburg Palace. Durnstein, recognizable by its Baroque blue-and-white church tower, is at the heart of Austria's wine-producing region. In Melk, tour the hilltop Benedictine abbey -- the library boasts some 16,000 books and beautiful ceiling frescoes, and the terrace offers terrific vantage points. Certain departures are designated as wine-themed or wellness cruises. Columbia & Snake Rivers, 8 days with American Queen Steamboat Company -- Cruise through a landscape of mountains, canyons and waterfalls on the modern paddle wheeler American Empress, with stops to explore such places as the Bonneville Dam and the Nez Perce National Historic Park. This trip in Washington and Oregon showcases Lewis and Clark stories and sites, Native American heritage and natural wonders like the Columbia River Gorge, whose rock walls rise up to 4,000 feet. Castles Along the Rhine, 8 days with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises -- This cruise immerses guests in storybook scenes, especially along the Upper Middle Rhine as you sail past vine-clad hills and more than 40 castles. Walking tours of Koblenz lead through narrow alleys and cobblestone squares to medieval churches. Enjoy a wine tasting at Castle Vollrads in Rheingau, a region known for its rieslings. A family-friendly version of this trip is offered in July. Bordeaux, Vineyards & Chateaux, 8 days with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises -- Sail along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and Gironde estuary in southwest France and learn about the rich heritage of towns like Saint-Emilion and Pauillac. Enjoy wine tastings, visit grand chateaux and sample local delicacies. Discover the wild beauty of the Atlantic coast, and view a natural phenomenon known as le mascaret, where the tide flows inland and forms waves that attract surfers; your captain will steer the ship to a prime viewing spot. Vietnam, Cambodia & the Riches of the Mekong, 16 days with AmaWaterways -- This adventure includes two hotel nights and sightseeing in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, plus an overnight stay in Halong Bay aboard a traditional Vietnamese boat known as a junk. During a three-night stay in Siem Reap, guests visit the stunning Angkor Wat temple complex. Highlights of the cruise portion include a Buddhist monastery, a silk weaving village, the spectacular Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh and the floating village of Cai Be. Imperial Jewels of China, 13 days with Viking River Cruises -- Visit China's top attractions on this vacation, which packages a Yangtze River cruise with hotel stays and guided sightseeing in Beijing and Shanghai. Walk through Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, stand on the Great Wall and marvel at the army of terra cotta soldiers at Xian. You'll also tour Three Gorges Dam and the 12-story Shibaozhai Temple, built into a cliff above the Yangtze. Paris & Normandy, 8 days with AmaWaterways -- Follow the Seine River west from Paris. The first highlight is Claude Monet's house and gardens at Giverny, where the painter lived and worked for more than 40 years. See the square where Joan of Arc was martyred in Rouen, and stroll along the picturesque harbor of Honfleur. In Normandy, you can make the pilgrimage to D-Day sights like Omaha Beach. Some departures have special wine themes.

Here are a few things our customers had to say about their experience of the Can Cook Studio…
'Absolutely fantastic! I don't even really like cooking but I found the evening really fun, informative and the food was delicious! The chefs were all brilliant – personable, easy to approach and helpful. They gave you the confidence and inspiration to have a go for yourself. The Studio is a fantastic venue, the gallery area where you watch the chef is particularly good. BRILLIANT!'
Danielle – Thai Evening Course
"I just wanted to thank you and all your staff for the wonderful time we had last night. The two chefs, Tony and Richie, were fantastic. Their enthusiasm and humour made the whole experience totally enjoyable. It was the first time my husband and I had cooked together for at least 6 years, since before our daughters were born. Thank you once again"
Alison- Tapas Evening Course
Michael- Thai Evening Course
"Just wanted to say another big thanks to all of you, my never-cooked-in-his-life husband enjoyed himself so much he has announced he intends to cook one brand new never tried before dish, once a month from here on, a MASSIVE step forward for him believe me. Cant wait to come back and try some of the other lessons"
Nikki- Pastry and Baking Evening Course
"I wanted to thank you and your staff for a fantastic night. Both myself and Leah (my girlfriend) thoroughly enjoyed our experience and both gained some new skills too! The salad dish in particular was out standing and we have recreated it at home since. Thanks for being so accommodating too!"

March 26, 2009 Baracktionary: New shiny happy names for bad stuff
As Rick Moran reported earlier here on the AT blog, a Pentagon directive asks employees to substitute the term "War on Terror" with "Overseas Contingency Operation."
Rick also mentioned that a few days ago, Janet Napolitano, President Obama's new Homeland Security Secretary, told the German newspaper Spiegel that in order to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur, she will now refer to "terrorism" as "man-caused disasters." This got me to thinking what I always think when any PC ball gets rolling: "What's Next?" Here's where all this could be headed-get ready to use these "new" terms: Old, outdated name = New, progressive name War = Appeasement opportunity Al Qaeda = GWAFAIBSVPOALOT ("Guys with a few anger issues but some valid points on a lot of things") Loot = Corporate executive bonuses Iran going nuclear = Enrico Fermi's Fairness Doctrine Tax increases = Elevated levels of involuntary patriotism Illegal aliens = voters Seizing companies = Community progress Gaza violence = Jimmy Carter Stimulus Package Russia basing bombers in Cuba = Bay of Hope Partial birth abortion = Stem cell research volunteer Hijacking = Mid-air pilot shift-change initiated by unaddressed sociopolitical grievance Suicide bombing = Goin' all AIG on everybody I still can't believe that the Obama Administration hasn't yet changed the name of "Homeland Security" to "The Department of Global Unprovocative Non-Threatening Response -- if That's Okay With You"

(BBC Online)
Hot on the heels of the new Bond villain being announced, the new Bond girl was mentioned this morning.
Twenty-five year old actress, Eva Green will be playing Vesper Lynd in the forthcoming movie. I have to say that I am mildly disapointed on two counts. The first is that Thandie Newton was mentioned among the rumours beforehand and she would have been good, the second is that this the first time the main Bond girl is played by an actress younger than me. A sure sign I am getting old :/.
The other bit of news about the film is that Felix Leiter will be making a return, and that he will be played by Jeffrey Wright. This will be the first time that Leiter has been seen since Licence to Kill, but given that this is meant to be a Bond prequel (not a good idea), I expect we will be seeing no signs of the shark attack that nearly killed him.
Anyways, Casino Royale is only one of two Bond novels I have read (Unless you count The Living Daylights, which is a short story), so I am looking forward to see how they do this!

Interesting news about Bond but you need to brush up on your Bond History! Felix Leiter was indeed given a good mauling by the shark in Licence To Kill, but it never killed him. 007 met Leiter who was in hospital at the end of the film.
Forget the boring Labour party, watch a few Bond vids!

With what seems like more hotly contested races than ever before, more of them are also turning nasty this time around, and in some cases just downright mean.
Feelings are running high, especially in the local school board races and contests for seats in the state House and Senate.
The term "Chicago-style politics" keeps cropping up everywhere, from those filing ethics complaints to those upset about robo calls.
Meanwhile, voters are turning out in droves, with about 7,800 already casting ballots in early voting, and another 2,400 requesting absentee ballots, according to Janet Munda, elections supervisor for Cherokee County.
Many of those watching the races closely say those heading out for early voting are made up of lots of local teachers and administrators unhappy over the redistricting of school board posts during reapportionment as well as the charter versus public school debate.
Perhaps no race is heating up more than the match between Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) and his challenger, Brandon Beach, from Alpharetta.
The school crowd wants Rogers out of office. They have made that clear.
Rogers, however, remains the tea party favorite and is out knocking on doors and visiting with his constituents in hopes of retaining his seat.
A flurry of ethics complaints against each candidate landed with the state ethics folks this week, and signs are popping up everywhere for both candidates.
The race could come down to the wire next Tuesday evening.
Several complaints were received at the post office, where officials said they sent Ruskell a certified letter about the incident, which they said was in violation of postal regulations.
Canton Tea Party leader Carolyn Cosby is chairman of the group. and said that she did not realize there would be a problem in putting out the fliers.
The third man in the race, former Cherokee Fire Chief Raymond Gunnin, is the wild card in the three-man race, which could go into a runoff after results are in from Tuesday's Republican primary.
Ruskell, who was ousted from his position as Cherokee County Solicitor General by David Cannon, has since tried to get his old position back but lost again to Cannon.
Now it is time to see if voters want him on board as commissioner.
The standing room only crowd was filled with those wearing T-shirts for both Danny Dukes and Janet Read. The race between the two has remained mostly civil. Read drew the opportunity to get the last word in with her closing comments, leaving Dukes frustrated and wanting to rebut, but moderator Pete Castello kept to the debate format and didn't allow a rebuttal.
Gingrey was feted at a meet-andgreet by leading county Republicans over the weekend.
And Cannon, who is now running for Blue Ridge Superior Court Judge against Mark Shriver, during their debate accused his opponent of being a former Obama supporter.
Then hopefully life can return to normal, with dinner hours no longer being interrupted by robo calls, and those plethoric campaign signs disappearing from the landscape, except for those who end up in runoffs.
"Around Cherokee" is compiled by Rebecca Johnston and the editorial staff of the Cherokee Tribune.

GLAAD asks studio bosses to add positive message to 'Bruno' San Francisco Chronicle
Posted on June 20, 2009
Filed Under Uncategorized
America's leading gay rights group is asking the studio heads behind Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie "Bruno" to add a tolerance message at the end of the film because activists fear the funnyman's stereotypes in the film go too far.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation claims Cohen uses every negative gay stereotype in his portrayal of outrageous Austrian Bruno, and leaders feel executives should make amends for the movie's depiction of gays by adding a positive message at the end.
GLAAD spokesman Rashad Robinson tells Eonline.com, "We have very mixed emotions about the movie. Those of us who saw the film agreed that you can't critique it as a single film because it's more like 90 minutes of individual sketches. Some are funny and hit their mark but others hit the gay community instead."
Universal studio bosses have refused to add the pro-gay message.
A statement from the studio's press office reads, "Bruno uses provocative comedy to powerfully shed light on the absurdity of many kinds of intolerance and ignorance, including homophobia."
But Robinson insists, "This movie does not unmask stereotypes. … As someone who sat at the back of a focus group audience … I felt they were laughing at us at times."

Writer: Sarah Harris – Photographs: David Field
Dr Jim Thomson, Eaglehawk dentist
I remember my first visit to the dentist very clearly. I was five years old and I was taken by my mother and my aunty to this place in town. I was taken up some stairs, and into this room where another door opened and this man appeared dressed completely in white. He picked me up and carried me into his surgery, threw me in this old chair and whacked a mask over my face. I remember struggling and then waking up with a mouthful of blood and missing teeth…

Evoked Potential Testing
Name: _______________________________________________
Appointment Date: __________________________________________
Appointment Times:__________________________________________
Arriving for your EEG
- There are volunteers at the main desk who can direct you.
- Your EEG appointment is in the EEG lab, J module/ 2nd floor.
- You must stop and register 15 minutes before your scheduled visit. Registration is on the main floor as you make your way on 'Main Street' to the EEG lab in the J module. Follow 'Main Street' towards the H module. Registration will be on your right hand side. After registration, continue right on 'Main Street' through the H elevator lobby to the J lobby. Please check in at the desk.
This test measures how well the nerves in your body send messages to your brain. This is done by stimulating nerves and viewing nerve pathways in action.
Small metal disks will be placed on your scalp on the areas lying over the parts of the brain being stimulated. These disks will be held in place using special glue, made just for this test. Sound, light, or sensation is used to excite your nerves. This causes information to be sent along nerve pathways. Waveforms are measured on a computer from certain spots on the body as the messages pass by on their way to the brain. How quickly or slowly messages reach different spots on the body may help your doctor find damaged areas in your nerves.
This test should not be painful.
Types of Evoked Potential Tests
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)
Five disks will be placed on your scalp. You will have a patch placed over one of your eyes. There will be a checkerboard screen placed a few feet in front of you. You will be asked to gaze at the middle of the screen. The checks will reverse back and forth from black to white. A number of trials will be done on each eye. Please bring any glasses or contacts that you use.
Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP)
Two disks will be placed on your scalp. One disk will be placed behind each ear. You will lie down on a bed while wearing headphones. In one ear you will hear a clicking sound and in the other a constant static noise. A number of trials will be done for each ear.
Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP)
Your doctor may order this test for either your arms, legs or both. Disks will be placed on your scalp, spine, arms, or legs. While you are lying on a bed, the technologist will apply a mild electrical current to the nerves in your wrists and ankles. You may feel your muscles twitch. This test will not harm you. A number of trials must be done on each arm or leg.
Before your test
- Eat your normal meals.
- Take any needed medicine, unless your doctor tells you not to.
- Wear loose fitting clothes.
- Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled test time.
During your test
Testing will take about 1 hour to complete. If we are doing all 3 tests, please plan on spending your whole morning or afternoon with us.
After your test
Your doctor will have the test results of the EEG within 7-10 days.
Phone Numbers
If you have any questions, or if you need to change the date or time of the test, please call.
EEG lab at (608) 263-8483.
If you live out of the area, call 1-800-323-8942. Ask for the EEG lab.

Malo Suede Star Bag, Handbag of the Day
The selling point for the Suede 'Star' Bag by Malo is its unique shape - and it's a good one. The tote bag is made of brown suede with leather trim. It has a firm, square bottom, from which soft sides extend upwards. The bag comes together at the top opening, which has no specific closure, in the shape of a four-pointed star. It has two shoulder straps with a generous drop, but the tote just looks like it should be carried casually, dangling from one hand while you stroll around a busy shopping district. It has two interior pockets so your mobile phone and car keys don't get lost at the bottom of the 12" x 12" x 12" tote. Price: $1,525.

My Opinion
Welcome to "Climatepresentations.org"
We strive to keep you informed on global warming, prevention and abrupt climate change. We give you the tools to decide for yourself whether global warming is fact or fiction.
"In the recent four years at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), my College students attended Richard Ordway's lectures on the subject of Climate and Climate Change. Richard was fantastic at explaining the historical and scientific facts. The students were empowered in their understanding of climate related topics.
Some students noted they liked Richard because he could level with them and be funny."
Zora L.Toth, Ph.D.,Research Chemist & College Instructor
"Richard has an exceptional amount of both knowledge and passion about climate change, and has years of research and study which developed his understanding and perspective. For anyone wanting to better understand global warming, which is certainly one of the most critical problems facing the planet, he provides a first-rate experience on his tours."
Ross Shell, CEO, Red Idea
"Wanted to drop you a note to thank you again for your time this week. Ross, Garvin and I really enjoyed the tour and discussions with you."

As with gifting anything to anybody, people will appreciate it to different degrees.
I have absolutely no problem with this, as long as good manners are maintained and any unwanted gifts are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Recycling is a start, but how about taking them to a charity shop, a hospital to ease the boredom of the sick or giving them as presents to the homeless?

My Mrs got £3600 this year its usually closer to £7000 but hey, times are hard. I got the usual £500 + a westend show and meal for 2. I guess that's still worth £900 in total.
I do recall humorously asking for a copy on one occasion, in an obvious lighthearted manner. I would like you to provide evidence of the "constant begging" that you refer to.
I have no problems with the sexuality of anybody, so long as it does not involve anything inappropriate. One of my roles in a directorship that I hold involves ensuring that diversity issues are properly managed.
I believe that your puerile comments have been more than adequately dealt with by Russ, so will add nothing further.

- Great Item! Review by Miles Weaver
Overall I recently received my black chrome hitch cover with the full color USMC seal. This cover looks even better than the photo online and looks great on my truck! To be sure that it will stay on my truck and not someone else's, I bought a small padlock that fits through the retaining pin in place of the cotter pin that is used to hold on the trailer hitch. I highly recommend this hitch cover (and also the padlock so that it is not stolen).

Everybody loves Angry Birds right? Right?
Well, if you do, and you're insane enough to want even more of those rotund flying feathers of fury, then you'll be pleased to know that Rovio have announced they are throwing together an Angry Birds Trilogy for PS3, 360 and 3DS.
Yes, that's right, you'll now be able to play Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio in one package. Three identical games all thrown together to pump that feathery drug right into your eyeballs.
PS Move, Kinect and Street Pass features are also available on each of the respective platforms, meaning that you can interact and play in new ways.
Activision will be publishing the title.
Speaking to IGN, it seems that this isn't just a cash in as each title has been "built from the ground up" for the new platforms.
"You can think of the game as the ultimate collector's edition. There are new cinematics, extras and other entertaining content. In addition, all of the existing material has been uprezzed and re-treated for the high-resolution and big screen."
Yes, you did read that right: "the ultimate collector's edition."
Strangely though it doesn't feature the genuinely innovative Angry Birds Space - a very odd choice indeed.

Speakeasy Briefs: a Hilariously Clever Gift Idea for Groomsmen
Tuesday, November 26th, 2013Looking for a truly unique groomsmen gift idea? Meet Speakeasy Briefs. These clever boxer briefs have a built-in secret pocket that conceals…wait for it — a flask (or anything else you may need to discreetly stash). But would your groomsmen really use these special undergarments? You betcha. Here are five important occasions when going commando just won't do.
1. The bachelor party. Will you be wearing your Tuesday morning underwear for the biggest party weekend of your life? Didn't think so. Speakeasy Briefs let you and your crew party in style, with a secret pocket designed to stash a hip flask.
2. Pictures. Why be the millionth guy who matches ties and handkerchiefs with his groomsmen when you can be the legend who matches his groomsmen head to toe? The photo of you and your boys rocking Speakeasy Briefs will put all other groomsmen photos to shame.
3. The ceremony. Come wedding day, you and your groomsmen should be as comfortable and confident as possible. Made in the USA with a luxe blend of cotton, modal, and spandex, Speakeasy Briefs are super comfortable. And in case there are any last-minute nerves, everyone's packing liquid courage.
4. The reception. Sure you found the love of your life, but what about your groomsmen? With a bevy of single ladies around, having a discreet location to carry protection may come in handy later on.
5. Life after the big day. Even after the wedding day, you and your groomsmen will enjoy Speakeasys at events such as concerts, sports games or traveling abroad.
Speakeasy Briefs are available for purchase online. Briefs are mailed worldwide, with free domestic shipping available for purchases of $50 or more. Bulk order discounts are also available for orders of seven or more. Email email@example.com for more details.

Twirl a different dance partner at Whisker Whirl
It's not a secret that Minneapolis-St. Paul is a dog friendly place to live. You have a plethora of dog parks to choose from, countless restaurant patios that will cater to your culinary favor, even a boarding facility conveniently located by the airport so you don't have to part with your pup until just a few hours before your flight. You can also be treated as a VIP at Animal Humane Society's upcoming party for people and their pups.
Whisker Whirl is just weeks away on Saturday, September 26. VIP tickets are still on sale—get yours today and you and your pup will be part of an exclusive group to meet old-world Master Bread Maker Klecko as he dishes out great dog biscuit advice and special treats for your pooches and Channel 45 News Anchor Megan Newquist. Fine wine will be provided by Broadway Liquor Outlet as well as beer by Finnegans Irish Amber. Click here to find out more about this exciting evening of canine camaraderie, great food catered by The St. Paul Hotel and an opportunity to support the services and programs of AHS.
Please support our sponsors including Mpls St Paul Magazine and Channel KSTC 45. Funds raised at the event support the nearly 40,000 homeless and neglected animals we see each year at AHS.
Partnership makes a difference in the lives of animals
You've heard the saying, "It takes two." But it takes more than two to help homeless and neglected animals. It takes your continued support of Animal Humane Society and many committed individuals and organizations to come together to care for these animals.
Whether AHS is leading the effort or providing support, we know that we can't do it alone. We collaborate with 41 organizations to place animals in rescue and sanctuary that need more medical attention than we can provide due to the substantial number we take in each year. We also partner with 54 different organizations to take in animals that would have been euthanized at previous facilities due to declining adoptions and capacity limitations.
"These partnerships are very important," says Jen Faehnrich, community programs coordinator for AHS. "We wouldn't be able to accomplish what we do for so many animals without them." The number of special cases Jen works on varies from week to week, but she has seen anywhere from 10 to 30 cases at a time. One recent case involved Winston, a Bengal cat who was brought in after a cruelty case. Upon exam, it was found that Winston was stricken with a heart murmur.
Winston's condition was significant enough to keep him off our adoption floors and place him with a cat sanctuary that could address his specific needs. After three months we were able to place him with the help of our friends at Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minn. Wildcat was able to locate a place for him at Cedarhill Animal Sanctuary in Mississippi. One first-class plane ticket later, and Winston was a Cedarhill resident.
"Winston has settled in and loves it here. He talks all the time," explains Kay McElroy, executive director of Cedarhill. "It's a cat paradise. There are 178 cats in his compound, including two other Bengal cats, Ricky and Lucy. He is housed on an acre of land with five houses and a lot of shaded areas. And, he's fallen in love." Winston has become quite fond of the head caretaker, Michelle. He helps her with all of her tasks and even tries to sneak out to meet her. (Don't worry. Winston is always kept safe.)
Winston was recently introduced in the Cedarhill newsletter. Read the excerpt on their website.

Fostering compassion in kids together
According to the U.S. National Parent-Teacher Association Congress, "Children trained to extend justice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their relations with one another. Character training along these lines in youth will result in men and women of broader sympathies… in every respect more valuable-citizens."
Are you looking for opportunities to teach your child compassion as well as allow them to explore their interests? As a parent, you can partner with Animal Humane Society to foster compassion in your child by registering them for the PetSet Youth Club.
"PetSet is a service learning program designed for kids to explore issues related to animals and to think about how they can personally have an impact," says Tammy Noack, humane education director for AHS. "We discuss current events, have guest speakers and hands-on service projects. The kids have a voice in what their group pursues and each group has a unique personality. The possibilities are endless"
Students work within a group setting to research issues and take action. Service learning projects may include single day, in-shelter projects such as building cat beds to longer term projects such as learning about the Puppy and Kitten Mill Bill and writing letters to legislators.
"The goal is to be an extension of community service and to offer kids a fun, educational opportunity."
Clubs for the fall semester are now forming. Students in grades 5-8 or 9-12 are invited to join in Golden Valley and grades 5-8 in Woodbury. Groups meet twice a month for a semester (four months) from 6:30–8 p.m. Click here to register your kid today!
The PetSet Youth Club is one of the many educational programs for youth at AHS. From birthday parties to Unleashed mini-camps, AHS offers a number of ways to partner with you and teach your children well.
Caring for urban chickens
City Chicken Care Class September 27
Thelma and Louise are two smart birds. Obvious companion animals, they were in need of help so introduced themselves to a man working on his car. Flabbergasted by the site of a duck and a chicken coming off the street, the man contacted Animal Humane Society and, shortly thereafter, brought them to our Wildlife Services team in Golden Valley. The team found the birds to be in good health and that they were quite smitten with each other. After a few days, they were transferred to Chicken Run Rescue (CRR) in Minneapolis as a bonded pair and to be placed for adoption. Watch Thelma and Louise's story…
The event provides an answer to the old mystery, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" It's simple—to get help.
AHS and CRR have been working together for years to care for and provide homes for domestic chickens and other birds. On Sunday, September 27, CRR will hold a city chicken care class at North Regional Public Library in Minneapolis from 12–4 p.m. to provide a basic understanding to the public on living with chickens, the commitment required to care for them and about the rewarding bond that can develop between humans and chickens. The class is for those with chickens or considering getting them, animal control professionals, shelter staff and veterinary technicians (CE credits available). Pre-registration required. For a $20 donation, tours of CRR will be provided.
"In past years we have rescued, cared for and placed in permanent homes an average of 30 birds a year. This year we have had surrender inquiries for 166 fowl since April 1," says Mary Britton Clause, co-founder of CRR with her husband Albert Clouse. "Based on the details of the inquiries and the condition of the birds we rescue, the overwhelming majority of people getting chickens (and other domestic fowl) know little about them or the care they need." In response, CRR has developed the City Chicken Care Class.
Presentations will be given by experts on chicken history and behavior, vet care and zoonoses, animal law, shelter design specific to Minnesota climate, non-lethal predator protection and landscaping for fun and forage.
"We want people to learn about chickens for the fascinating and engaging creatures that they are," says Britton Clause. "We want people to make an informed decision about bringing chickens into their lives before acquiring them. Chickens can live as long as 14 years, so the commitment is the same as for a dog or cat."
Learn more about the class and review the agenda (.pdf) at www.brittonclouse.com/chickenrunrescue.
Lean on AHS for boarding services
We all have them. People only vacations and workdays when you know you won't be able to get away to care for your pet. During times like these it's important to have someone you can rely on. Lean on AHS's Golden Valley Boarding facility. We provide overnight boarding and low-cost day care services for your pup, cat, rabbit, bird, guinea pigs—even your fish or chickens!

Free castration clinic for MN horses
AHS, in partnership with the Minnesota Horse Welfare Coalition and the Minnesota Horse Council, are offering a free, one-day horse castration clinic on September 26, 2009, at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Lake Elmo, Minn. through the Gelding Project. The goal of the clinic is to reduce the number of unwanted horses in Minnesota. The unwanted horse is the single biggest welfare issue facing the horse industry today.
Donate your time, Purina will donate funds
AHS is supported by an incredible team of volunteers. They are our everyday heroes. Are you ready to join them? Pledge to become an AHS volunteer and Purina ONE will donate $5 to AHS as a participating shelter in its One Hope Network during its "Be My Hero" campaign. Spread the message to friends and family—Purina is donating up to $500,000
A special wish list for cats
With more than 21,000 felines coming to AHS each year, cats are often met with an extended stay while they wait for a new home on our adoption floors. The days can get long and in an effort to keep each cat stimulated, we're asking for donations of cat toys (without cat nip and not made out of real fur). Can you make a small toy donation to help a cat? Learn more…
Care for animals all year long
One simple commitment can help homeless and neglected animals all year long. Partner with AHS through its PAW (planned account withdrawal) program—you choose how much you want to donate and we'll automatically deduct your gift from your credit card each month. That's one commitment that provides 12 months of care. Learn more…
Delight your pet-owning employees
Local statistics reveal that nearly two-thirds of your employees have pets. With that in mind, consider Animal Humane Society's Pet Concierge package, a benefits package for your employees. Via a network of pet industry companies, we can provide discounted training, overnight boarding, dog walking, pet sitting, pet food delivery, and more. For more information, contact Amy Rosenthal, director of corporate relations at AHS at (763) 489-2231.
Can you help a cat in need?
Kitten season is upon us and during this time thousands of kittens are taken in resulting in a dramatic decline of adult cat adoptions. You can help by taking an adult feline houseguest into your home for six months with start dates through September months. Then return the cat to AHS at a time when customers historically consider adopting an adult cat and when we have fewer kittens. Applications accepted through September 12. Learn more about this innovative program...

Feeling Daring? Try this Flambe!
- 16 medium -size shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails still on
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce from 1 can of chipotles in adobo
- 8 slices smoked bacon, cut in half widthwise
- 4 metal skewers or 4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.In a big bowl, toss shrimp with salt, olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce. Lay a piece of seasoned shrimp in the middle of each of the 16 strips of bacon and then wrap the bacon around the body of the shrimp leaving the tail hanging out. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp into the hot skillet and cook until the shrimp firm up and the bacon is golden brown, about 7-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes or so.
- While the shrimp are cooking, preheat a small skillet. To the pre-heated skillet, drizzle a splash of olive oil and toast up the garlic. Add in the brown sugar, Worcestershire and soy sauce and dissolve. Remove the skillet from heat, pour in the whiskey and ignite. (This is called flambe. IT FLARES UP!!!!! DO NOT LIGHT WHILE YOU ARE STANDING OVER IT!) Place skillet back onto heat, cooking out the alcohol and allowing the flame to die off. (ONCE YOU PUT IT BACK ON THE STOVE LEAVE IT ALONE. DON'T SHAKE THE PAN OR MOVE IT. LET IT DIE OUT!) Once the flame is out, remove from heat so glaze doesn't burn or cook too much. Add the lime zest and juice, and reserve. To serve, plate 4 shrimp per person, drizzled with Jack Daniels Glaze.
