Animals in Cabárceno Wildlife Park. Cantabria
Enjoy a wonderful family day out in a huge, impressive nature area. Accompany your children as they gaze on in amazement at exotic animals in semi-liberty from all over the world. You don't have to go on safari to see Bengal tigers, desert antelopes and African elephants. Come and see them in the extraordinary surroundings of the Cabárceno Nature Park.
Cabárceno covers an area of more than 750 hectares and is the largest park of its kind in Europe. It is a large open area where you can marvel at the way animals from all over the world live happily in semi-liberty. This amazing place is located in the Cantabrian Mountains, just 20 kilometres from Santander, in truly exceptional surroundings: the Peña Cabarga Nature Reserve.
At Cabárceno children can enjoy a wonderful walk amidst friendly ostriches, majestic lions, elegant jaguars and impressive rhinos. There are more than 118 species living in the park, and you will often come across delightful animal cubs, given that this is one of the few places where these animals reproduce naturally.
The park is ideal for the whole family to enjoy a visit in complete comfort. Its network of asphalted paths means that you can gradually explore the park in your car. This wonderful place can also be discovered on foot or by bicycle, on special alternative trails. On your way, be sure to have a look at the park's unique landscape made up of strange, unusual, limestone rock formations produced by erosion.
At Cabárceno, everything is designed so that young children have a wonderful experience of nature: displays of birds of prey in flight, or sea lions' acrobatics will leave them speechless; they can catch trout in Acebo Lake - a real achievement; and in the environment workshop they will learn the secrets of the park's flora and fauna. There are other complementary services such as a café, play park, picnic area, shops and restaurants that will ensure you have a perfect, happy family day out.
Come and live an extraordinary and completely original experience. The savage beauty of wild animals in fascinating surroundings will leave you amazed. Cabárceno Park awaits you - come and have a fun day out with your family, in complete harmony with nature. More information: Cantabria Tourism

In recent meetings with the National MS Society, I was asked to consider a regular contribution to their new blog platform. I am humbled and, as many of you know, I owe much to the Society and my local chapter for helping me learn to live with my multiple sclerosis. Your answers to the question posed in the title of this post will help me better understand how I can best 'fit' into this new platform.
As our community has grown over the past six and a half years of the Life With MS Blog, I have learned that you, our community, are the greatest assets our Everyday Health MS pages have. You always make my posts better and I've never gone a day without learning something from you.
I am far from an expert at this stuff. I will, however, admit that we together have become experts!
That is why I come to you.
There will be a great number of regular contributors to this new blog. I'll likely contribute a monthly piece at a regularly scheduled time. I'd like to have something of a theme, not unlike the one we have for our new "A Yank's Life With MS Blog" for the MS Society of the United Kingdom. We have some ideas for this, but I always come back to the question: "What can I bring that someone else maybe cannot?" I know there are better writers who blog about MS. I know that there are more in-depth reporters of what's going on in our world of Multiple Sclerosis. I want this to be fresh and meaningful. That's where you come in.
I'd say that the one sentiment I read more oft than any other in your comments is, "I thought I was the only one," or "It's good to know that I'm not alone." It makes me feel like we might touch on topics (or at least touch on them in a way) that many do not.
I do not — DO NOT — ask this question in search of praise! I am asking because you are the experts and only you can help me understand how I can best serve this new opportunity.
This could also, like the UK Blog, help grow our caring community with people just like us who want to learn and live and get on with their life with MS as best they can.
Once again, I feel I ask too much of you. But who else can I rely on if not the people who make this a place that has caught the attention of so many?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter. And check out the new blog I'm doing for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United Kingdom, A Yank's Life With MS.

Snow doesn't stop Brewers fans from camping out for tickets
Brewers hold Arctic Tailgate
Brewers fans are riding out the winter weather in line for tickets.
At a time of year when summer is on ice, there's comfort on the other side of the blue wall at Miller Park.
"It's about 70 degrees. We sit here and play cards and just wait for Saturday to come around," Brewers fan Paul Killion said.
Killion, his son and his brother-in-law camp out there season after season.
"This is year No. 5," said Jason Bardega, who is camping out for tickets.
It's a family tradition -- three guys camping out for a couple days, bonding over baseball.
The ticket they're after when the Brewers put their single-game tickets on sale Saturday is for Opening Day.
The Brewers have named the ticket sale the Arctic Tailgate, and this year, it's once again living up to its name.
Fresh snow comes with the territory -- it is February after all -- but this time around, the wind kicked up, and some of the tents came out on the losing end.
Not Randy Gordon's. He was just fine after a night of stormy weather.
"Had a little heat in there. Covered up with three sleeping bags. I was good," Gordon said.
Extra sandbags held down another tent. Rubber mats and heaters are keeping its occupants warm.
"So, how do you top this for next year?" Paolantonio asked.
"Top this?" Bardega asked.
"You have a pretty good setup," Paolantonio said.
"I think this is it. I think we finally mastered it," Bardega said.
Killion and Bardega told WISN 12 News they showed up Wednesday night and stood outside for 15 hours to make sure they were first in line Thursday at noon, when the Brewers allowed people to set up tents.
Single-game tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Forever Pomesteen Power®
Get powerful antioxidants from Pomegranate, Mangosteen, and other exotic fruits with Forever Pomesteen Power®!
There's no disputing the fact that antioxidants are extremely vital to our health. Forever Pomesteen Power® has a proprietary blend of fruit juices and extracts, including Pomegranate, Pear, Mangosteen, Raspberry, Blackberry, Blueberry and Grape Seed.
• Full of powerful antioxidants
• Unique blend of fruit juices and extracts
• Delicious, exotic flavor
There's no disputing the fact that antioxidants are extremely vital to our health and well being. There is, however, much discussion today among nutritionists as to which fruit is the most powerful antioxidant, or which contains the most Xanthones or has the highest ORAC value rating. Forever Pomesteen Power® has them all with a proprietary blend of fruit juices and extracts, including Pomegranate, Pear, Mangosteen, Raspberry, Blackberry, Blueberry and Grape Seed.
ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is an indicator of how well an antioxidant inhibits free radical damage. The ORAC value of fruits can vary greatly, even when testing the same fruit at different times after harvesting. What is important to know is that all of the ingredients of Forever Pomesteen Power® are near the top of the list in ORAC value, especially Pomegranate and Mangosteen fruit.
Pomegranate juice has more polyphenol antioxidants than red wine, green tea, cranberry juice and orange juice and is a good source of Vitamins C.
Mangosteen is a popular fruit in Asia. Its exquisite taste prompted Queen Victoria to declare it her favorite fruit, henceforth it has been referred to as the "Queen of Fruits!" Its ORAC value is very high, and it is rich in beneficial Xanthones. Xanthones are a family of naturally occurring nutritional compounds in fruits that are super-powerful antioxidants.
Enjoy daily to experience the incredible power of antioxidants from Pomegranate, Mangosteen and other exotic fruits with Forever Pomesteen Power®!

3.19 Wrap-Up
In this chapter, you learned how Web
2.0 embraces an architecture of participation, encouraging
user interaction and community contributions. User-generated content
is the key to success for many leading Web
2.0 companies. Harnessing collective intelligence can result
in smart ideas. Collaborative filtering lets users promote valuable
content, and flag offensive or inappropriate material. The wisdom of
crowds suggests that a large diverse group of people can be smarter
than a small group of specialists.
We presented several popular Web 2.0 business models. You
learned how you, the user, are deciding which news and information outlets
you trust, enabling popular blogs and social media networks to compete
with traditional media powerhouses. People are using social networks
to interact and network, personally and professionally. We discussed
popular social bookmarking sites that let you share your favorite websites,
blogs, and articles with other users.
You learned about the Long Tail economic model and how
Web 2.0 Internet businesses are increasing exposure for lesser-known
products in a way that traditional businesses cannot. Web 2.0 companies
are monetizing their content with advertising, affiliate programs and
We discussed how the explosion of content combined with
people's increasing demands on time has led to an attention
economy, increasing the importance of search engines used
to find content online. SEO, link
building and SEM can help you maximize your website's
findability and improve search engine results. Many Web 2.0 sites enable
discovery, pointing you to valuable new content that you might not have
otherwise sought. Tagging and folksonomies help you locate content on
the web more effectively, especially content that computers have a hard
time identifying, such as photos and videos. Search engines are using
localization to provide you with geographically relevant content.
You learned how Software
as a Service (SaaS) applications offer companies (and users)
many benefits, including fewer demands on internal IT departments, increased
accessibility for out-of-the-office use, an easy way to maintain software
across a diversity of platforms on a large scale and more. Rich Internet
Applications offer responsiveness, "rich" features and functionality
similar to desktop applications. Web services are used to create feature-rich
mashup applications, combining content or functionality from existing
web services, websites and RSS
feeds. Many people believe that the Semantic Web—the
"web of meaning"—will be the next generation of the
web, enabling exciting new kinds of applications.
This chapter concludes our introduction to computers, the
Internet, browsers and Web
2.0. The remainder of the book is devoted to building web
applications—you'll learn how to program the client side
and the server side, including interacting with databases. We'll
focus on building Ajax-enabled
Rich Internet Applications. We begin in Chapter 4by discussing how to use XHTML
(the Extensible HyperText Markup Language) to create web
pages to be rendered by web browsers. You'll use XHTML
to incorporate images into your web pages, add internal linking for
page navigation, create forms for collecting information from a user,
create tables and more.

New House, New Kitchen
- « prev

- 1 of 10
Sydney and Charlie Jerabek tapped the talents of their daughter, Molly Frey, a residential designer in Marblehead, Massachusetts, to help them build a new vacation house in Naples, Florida. The kitchen had to be geared for entertaining. "The goal for the house was to create a very sophisticated yet relaxed cottage," Molly says. "It needed to be large enough for a house full of people, but not so big that it felt overwhelming when they were by themselves."
A six-burner range with a stainless-steel backsplash, vent hood, and chimney is centered on the back wall of the kitchen. Substantial open shelves supported by hefty brackets on each side of the range hood keep things handy when Sydney is cooking and make it easy for guests to help out with food prep or find dishes to serve themselves. The two-tiered center island also allows people to gather in the kitchen without crowding the cook. The sink and dishwasher are backed by a short wall that conceals dirty dishes and meal-prep messes from those seated on the other side of the island.

One of Sydney's favorite features is the 9x8-foot walk-in pantry that keeps the main kitchen virtually clutter-free. "It holds all the staples, which eliminated the need for cabinets in the kitchen," Molly says.
The pantry also acts as a handy breakfast zone, with the coffeemaker, toaster, and other supplies stored there. "Because the kitchen is so visible from the other rooms, we need the pantry to hide all those things you don't want out all the time," Molly adds. French doors with mirrored panes rather than glass conceal the pantry's contents while adding a dash of sparkle to the room. On the other side of the refrigerator is a storage cupboard with identical mirrored French doors.
Transoms above twin French doors are bridged by a high shelf where Sydney displays vintage and new bottles and vases.
Antique balusters that Sydney found in a Maine shop serve as sturdy supports for the kitchen island. "This is a big room, and we needed something beefy," she says.
An antique hutch from New England was converted to a wet bar adjacent to the kitchen.

In Canada we are blessed with at least seven months of winter. Cold, cold winter!

Easily worn under a snow suit, it is warm enough to not require layers, yet will still look darling when you get to that holiday party: perfect for any northern girl.

News gleaned from the TV, radio, or Internet can be a positive educational experience for kids. But when the images presented are violent or the stories touch on disturbing topics, problems can arise.
Seeing coverage of upsetting events like natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or mass shootings might cause kids to worry that something similar could happen to them or their loved ones. It also can make them fear some aspect of daily life — like thunderstorms — that they never worried about before.
Reports on shootings, attacks, and child abductions also can teach kids to view the world as a confusing, threatening, or unfriendly place.
How can you deal with these disturbing stories and images? Talking to your kids about what they watch or hear will help them put frightening information into a reasonable context.
Unlike movies or entertainment programs, news is real. But depending on their age or maturity level, kids might not yet understand the distinctions between fact and fantasy.
By the time kids reach 7 or 8, however, what they see on TV can seem all too real. For some youngsters, the vividness of a sensational news story can be internalized and transformed into something that might happen to them. A child watching a news story about a bombing on a bus or a subway might worry, "Could I be next? Could that happen to me?"
Natural disasters or stories of other types of devastation can be personalized in the same manner. A child in New Mexico who sees a house being swallowed by floods from a hurricane in Louisiana may spend a sleepless night worrying about whether his home will be OK in a rainstorm. A child in Chicago, seeing news about an attack on subways in London, might get scared about using public transportation around town.
TV has the effect of shrinking the world and bringing it into our own living rooms. By concentrating on violent stories, TV news also can promote a "mean-world" syndrome and give kids an inaccurate view of what the world and society are actually like.
To calm children's fears about the news, parents should be prepared to deliver the truth, but only as much truth as a child needs to know. The key is to be honest and help kids feel safe. There's no need to go into more details than your child is interested in.
Although it's true that some things — like a natural disaster — can't be controlled, parents should still give kids space to share their fears. Encourage them to talk openly about what scares them.
Older kids are less likely to accept an explanation at face value. Their budding skepticism about the news and how it's produced and sold might mask anxieties they have about the stories it covers. If older kids are bothered about a story, help them cope with these fears. An adult's willingness to listen sends a powerful message.
Teens also can be encouraged to consider why a frightening or disturbing story was on the air: Was it to increase the program's ratings because of its sensational value or because it was truly newsworthy? In this way, a scary story can be turned into a worthwhile discussion about the role and mission of the news.
Keeping an eye on kids' TV news habits can go a long way toward monitoring the content of what they hear and see. Other tips:

Industrial Tourism near Barcelona
Bodegas Albet i Noya winery - Barrel room - Subirats
Practise a different type of tourism in the province of Barcelona and discover its rich industrial heritage. From old factories or prehistoric mines turned into museums, to companies that organise wine and cava (sparkling wine) activities. There are about a hundred industrial centres and museums that offer guided tours
With this proposal you will be able to find out many details about the development of the region from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Some of the routes are very recommendable, like the one that takes you to discover Industrial Modernism with the five senses in Terrassa. You will be able to get into the shoes of a worker and a middle class person of the time by visiting several spaces in the city and discovering more about Modernism with experiments and games. You can also visit the Riutort Petrol Museum (where black gold still drips in some parts), the Cers Mines Museum (where a train goes 450 metres into a gallery), the Igualada and Comarcal de l'Anoia Leather Museum (which organises a dramatised visit once a month), the Güell Colony (an industrial colony that is active and has the World Heritage designation), or the Catalonia Circuit (where you will learn about the motor sport and you will be able to visit the paddock through which champions such as Fernando Alonso or Jorge Lorenzo race every year) Things to remember: You can see a list of the industrial museums, centres and activities that are available on the Barcelona Tourist Board website. For some of them you must book in advance.

1. Many companies make payments to employees that compen-sate them for other than time worked. The payments often are for periods of absence from employement, such as for vaccations, sick days, holidays, and jury duty. Other payments are made on separation of employment (severance pay, termination indemnities) or during post separation periods, such as the continuation of life and medical in-surance benefits. Some post separation payments are made to, or on behalf of, individuals other than the employee, such as a spouse or other dependent.
2. The degree of formality of the arrangements providing for payments other than for time worked varies consid-erably. The payments may be required by law or by contract, as in the case of a collective bargaining agree-ment, they may be established by company policy, or they may be made to certain employees solely at the discretion of management or the owners of the business.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:48 PM GMT on July 08, 2009
It's an El Niño year, which typically means that Atlantic hurricane activity will be reduced. But not all El Niño events are created equal when it comes to their impact on Atlantic hurricane activity. Over the past 150 years, hurricane damage has averaged $800 million/year in El Niño years and double that during La Niña years. The abnormal warming of the equatorial Eastern Pacific ocean waters in most El Niño events creates an atmospheric circulation pattern that brings strong upper-level winds over the Atlantic, creating high wind shear conditions unfavorable for hurricanes. Yet some El Niño years, like 2004, don't fit this pattern. Residents of Florida and the Gulf Coast will not soon forget the four major hurricanes that pounded them in 2004--Ivan, Frances, Jeanne, and Charley. Overall, the 15 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 6 intense hurricanes of the hyperactive hurricane season of 2004 killed over 3000 people--mostly in Haiti, thanks to Hurricane Jeanne--and did $40 billion in damage.
A new paper published in Science last Friday attempts to explain why some El Niño years see high Atlantic hurricane activity. "Impact of Shifting Patterns of Pacific Ocean Warming on North Atlantic Tropical Cyclones", by Georgia Tech researchers Hye-Mi Kim, Peter Webster, and Judith Curry, theorizes that Atlantic hurricane activity is sensitive to exactly where in the Pacific Ocean El Niño warming occurs. If the warming occurs primarily in the Eastern Pacific, near the coast of South America, the resulting atmospheric circulation pattern creates very high wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, resulting in fewer hurricanes. This pattern, called the Eastern Pacific Warming (EPW) pattern, occurred most recently during the El Niño years of 1997, 1987, and 1982 (Figure 1). In contrast, more warming occurred in the Central Pacific during the El Niño years of 2004, 2002, 1994, and 1991. The scientists showed that these Central Pacific Warming (CPW) years had lower wind shear over the Atlantic, and thus featured higher hurricane activity than is typical for an El Niño year. One of the paper's authors, Professor Peter J. Webster, said the variant Central Pacific Warming (CPW) El Niño pattern was discovered in the 1980s by Japanese and Korean researchers, who dubbed it modiki El Niño. Modiki is the Japanese word for "similar, but different".
Figure 1. Difference of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from average during the peak of hurricane season, August-September-October, for seven years that had El Niño events (except for 2009, when the SST anomaly for July 1 - 3 is plotted). On the left side are years when the El Niño warming primarily occurred in the Eastern Pacific (EPW years). On the right are years when the warming primarily occurred in the Central Pacific (CPW years). Shown on the top of each plot is the number of named storms (NS), hurricanes (H), and intense hurricanes (IH) that occurred in the Atlantic each year. Atlantic hurricane activity tends to be more prevalent in CPW years than EPW years. An average hurricane season has 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. Image credit: NOAA/ESRL.
What, then, can we expect the current developing El Niño event to do to 2009 hurricane activity? Kim et al. note that in recent decades, the incidence of modiki CPW El Niño years has been increasing, relative to EPW years. However, the preliminary pattern of SST anomalies in the Pacific observed so far in July (lower left image in Figure 1) shows an EPW pattern--more warming in the Eastern Pacific than the Central Pacific. If Kim et al.'s theory holds true, this EPW pattern should lead to an Atlantic hurricane season with activity lower than the average 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. There is still a possibility that the observed warming pattern could shift to the Central Pacific during the peak portion of hurricane season, however. We are still in the early stages of this El Niño, and it is unclear how it will evolve.

Chi Energy Documentary - Proof of Chi
This is a documentary of this guy who can unleash this shocking energy, chi, by meditations like Shaolin Monks.....
Believe or not, watch the documentary.....
Q. What is Chi?
A. It is referred to as "life energy" that can be converted into different types of energy, such as kinetic or electrical energy within the body.
Q. What is the scientific fact for this, I'm a little skeptical?
A. The scientific fact is that our bodies are comprised of an energy system that can be measured in many different ways. Doctors are continually doing research to find more data to support the reality of chi. Asians, especially in China and Japan have been using chi to heal patients for years. It is only in recent years that the western world has become interested in the hows and whys of this somewhat mysterious phenomenon. ( Below you will find some resources that show actual research done by both the East and West in terms of this energy)
Researchers in many different fields have realized the significance of the bodies ability to adapt to different types of stimuli and stress. By putting the body through specific exercises that are designed to build this energy body by increasing the pounds per square inch in the body as well as increasing the size and strength of the individual nerve fibers of the body, thus causing the body to be able to store as well as emit energy.

Then I saw these pencils and this container of fasteners.
Original, vintage packaging.
Again, I squealed.
The nice thing about you, dear readers, is that some of you don't think I'm a complete weirdo for loving this kind of stuff.
And neither does my husband, which is so nice.
You are probably the same readers who could tell me the movie that has this line in it: "I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address."
What is it about stationary supplies, school supplies, office supplies?
Did you know my first job was at the library?
I was in 4th grade.
I shelved books.
I was in heaven.
Obviously this stuff is in my blood.
Now I have a few more things to go with these vintage office supplies, scored at the last garage sale I went to.
The garage sale gods were smiling upon me.
This is the tip of the iceberg, friends.
The tippity, tippity, tip!
Come back for more! Maybe tomorrow.
Love from,

Last week Standard and Poor's, a bond rating agency, downgraded both Ford and General Motors bonds to junk status. That is, it sees a significant risk that the companies won't be able to pay their debts.
Don't cry for the bondholders, but do cry for the workers.
Standard and Poor's downgraded GM and Ford sooner rather than later because it believes that the public is losing interest in S.U.V.'s. But the companies were vulnerable because they still pay decent wages and offer good benefits, in an age when taking care of employees has gone out of style. In particular, they are weighed down by health care costs for current and retired workers, which run to about $1,500 per vehicle at G.M.
So the downgrade was a reminder of how far we have come from the days when hard-working Americans could count on a reasonable degree of economic security.
In 1968, when General Motors was a widely emulated icon of American business, many of its workers were lifetime employees. On average, they earned about $29,000 a year in today's dollars, a solidly middle-class income at the time. They also had generous health and retirement benefits.
Since then, America has grown much richer, but American workers have become far less secure.
Today, Wal-Mart is America's largest corporation. Like G.M. in its prime, it has become a widely emulated business icon. But there the resemblance ends.
The average full-time Wal-Mart employee is paid only about $17,000 a year. The company's health care plan covers fewer than half of its workers.
True, not everyone is badly paid. In 1968, the head of General Motors received about $4 million in today's dollars - and that was considered extravagant. But last year Scott Lee Jr., Wal-Mart's chief executive, was paid $17.5 million. That is, every two weeks Mr. Lee was paid about as much as his average employee will earn in a lifetime.
Not that many of them will actually spend a lifetime at Wal-Mart: more than 40 percent of the company's workers leave every year.
I'm not trying either to romanticize the General Motors of yore or to portray Wal-Mart as the root of all evil. GM was , and Wal-Mart is, a product of its time. And there's no easy way to reverse the changes.
What should be clear, however, is that the public safety net F.D.R. and L.B.J. created is more important than ever, now that workers in the world's richest nation can no longer count on the private sector to provide them with economic security.
When they reach 65, most Wal-Mart employees will rely heavily on Social Security - if the privatizers don't kill it. And many Wal-Mart employees already rely on Medicaid to pay for health care, especially for their children.
Indeed, a growing number of working Americans have turned to Medicaid. As the Kaiser Family Foundation points out, that's why children have for the most part have retained health coverage, despite a sharp decline in employer-based health insurance since 2000.
Yet our current political leaders are trying to privatize Social Security and reduce benefits. And they are slashing funds for Medicaid even as they give big tax cuts to people like Mr. Lee.
The attack on the safety net is motivated by ideology, not popular demand. The public isn't taken with the vision of an "ownership society"; it seems to want more, not less, social insurance. According to a poll cited in a recent Business Week article titled "Safety Net Nation," 67 percent of Americans think we should guarantee health care to all citizens; just 27 percent disagree.
The question is whether the public's desire for a stronger safety net will finally be seconded by corporations that haven't yet adopted the Wal-Mart model of minimal benefits and always low wages.
Last year Richard Wagoner Jr., G.M.'s chief executive, gave a speech about the costs of America's "Kafkaesque" health care system that sounded a lot like my recent columns. And his company has made it clear that it likes Canada's system: in 2002 the president of General Motors of Canada and the head of the Canadian Auto Workers signed a joint letter declaring that "it is vitally important that the publicly funded health care system be preserved and renewed."
But according to The Journal Register News Service, which covered Mr. Wagoner's speech, he "stressed later to reporters that he was not proposing a national health care plan." Why not?

Boulder County shelters, pet services chain rally to help Fourmile wildfire victims, pets
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley and Camp Bow Wow, a Boulder-based pet services company, have launched efforts to help animals and owners displaced by the Fourmile Canyon wildfire.
Boulder Humane is opening its doors to provide temporary shelter for dogs, cats and small mammals forced from their homes by the fire.
The shelter is currently providing temporary shelter for 50-plus animals including dogs, cats, a ferret and a parakeet whose guardians are all displaced, according to spokesman Kim Sporrer.
Some of the shelter's adopted animals have been transferred to the Denver Dumb Friends League and the Humane Society of Pikes Peak to make more room available to house the animals of community members in need.
Evacuees needing housing for a dog, cat or small mammals, should come to the Boulder Humane shelter during normal business hours or call City of Boulder Animal Care & Control after hours at 303-441-3333.
The Red Cross shelter at the Boulder YMCA at 2850 Mapleton Ave. will allow pets. Boulder Humane set up kennels, crates and supplies there for people and are providing help with pets during the day as needed, Sporrer said. Guardians will need to feed, walk and care for their pets overnight.
Anyone needing help rescuing an animal in the evacuation area should call Boulder County Animal Control 720-564-2942. Boulder Animal Care and Control officers are assisting Boulder County officers by going to homes that have burned and looking for pets. They have rescued 5-7 animals the past two days, Sporrer said.
Boulder Humane is providing the following free supplies for pets of evacuees including:
•Dry and wet dog and cat food
•Cat litter and litter boxes
•Dog & cat crates/carriers
•Blankets and towels
•Other things donated such as cat toys and trees•
Evacuees may pick up items at the shelter at 2323 55th Street in Boulder. Open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Purina and Petsmart are parnering with Boulder Humane to provide these items, Sporrer said.
Boulder Humane is also conducting a special donation drive through Wednesday, Sept. 15 at its Thrift & Gift Shop at 5320 Arapahoe Avenue in Boulder for clothing, furniture and household items for evacuees. All items will be provided to evacuees free of charge 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 16 and Friday, Sept. 17.
Meanwhile, Boulder-based Camp Bow Wow, the nation's largest pet services company and its non-profit component, the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, has begun its own support program.
In association with the Longmont Humane Society, Camp Bow Wow and the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation are working to raise funds and goods in order to alleviate the damage caused by the fire.
Now through the end of September, ten local Camp Bow Wow franchises in the Denver, Boulder, and Littleton areas will aid this effort, with collection bins for towels, blankets, non-clumping litter, canned cat food and more.
In addition, boarding space is available for low-cost or free stay at various camp locations throughout the Denver/Boulder areas.
"This fire tragically impacted many lives and hit so close to home. While we are relieved that so many animals have been rescued, this is just the beginning of fixing the damage caused by the fire," said Heidi Ganahl, CEO and Founder of Camp Bow Wow " Please help us make a difference by donating supplies or monetary support to the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. We're working to make sure aid gets to as many animals, and in as short a time, as possible."
The following Camp Bow Wow locations will act as drop off points for all products and supplies:
•Camp Bow Wow Boulder, CO – 3631 Pearl Street
•Camp Bow Wow Lodo (Downtown Denver), CO – 3645 Brighton Blvd
•Camp Bow Wow Denver SE, CO – 2125 South Jasmine
•Camp Bow Wow Parker, CO- 10325 S. Progress Way
•Camp Bow Wow Denver, CO Central – 1221 S. Cherokee
•Camp Bow Wow Broomfield, CO – 1705 W. 10th Avenue
•Camp Bow Wow Castle Rock, CO – 500 1st St
•Camp Bow Wow Northglenn, CO – 11480 No Cherokee St. Unit P
•Camp Bow Wow Golden, CO – 13101 West 43rd Dr.
•Camp Bow Wow Littleton – 8121 South Grant Way
•Camp Bow Wow Ft. Collins, CO – 4103 S. Mason Street
Monetary donations to help this cause can be made to: The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation at www.bowwowbuddies.com.

Common training mistakes – Boy do we make mistakes when we pick out dogs to adopt. And when we train them? Even more mistakes.
Melissa Heeter has advice about the right way to do things. And she should know. Heeter is a professional dog trainer from Georgia and a former champion dog disc competitor.
She was in Denver during Labor Day weekend to give demonstrations and lectures at the Taste of Colorado.
The number one mistake people make is choosing the wrong dog. Heeter says.
"You're setting yourself up for failure," she adds.
Are you a sedentary type of person? Then don't adopt an active canine.
Do you live in close proximity to other people? Don't get a breed known to bark a lot.
You get the idea.
Investigate breeds of dogs before making a choice, Heeter says.
Read a book, go online, talk to a veterinarian, ask questions of animal shelter officials.
Heeter's number two mistake: Getting a dog on impulse. "Before you adopt an animal, have basic supplies on hand," she says.
She recommends an appropriate collar, a 6-foot leash, a crate, stainless steel dog bowl, and an x-pen (a playpen for a puppy when you can't watch over it).
"Think of a crate as a crib," Heeter says. "Make it a positive place. Feed the dog in the crate so he likes it."
Number three, according to Heeter: Many people leave their dog at home before it is ready. "Until the dog is 2 years old, leaving it alone invites disturbances and it learns to bark," she says.
Number four: potty training. "A dog can hold its bladder one hour for every month old it is," Heeter says. The limit for any dog is 8 hours.
Number five: allowing the dog to meet and greet people. We've all seen times when dogs jump all over visitors or acted hostile toward them.
Number six: putting dogs on flex leashes where they can race out ahead of you. This puts the dog in charge. "If you don't take the alpha role, the dog will," Heeter says.
Some dogs aren't comfortable beimg in the lead and will bark constantly, she adds.
Heeter believes that teaching a dog to sit-stay is important.
"It is mandatory that a dog not go through a door before it is allowed to," she says. The reason: Danger may lurk on the other side of that door.
But never issue a sit-stay order and then walk away, she says. "Always release the dog from the sit-stay."
Heeter says it is natural for dogs to have a hierarchy and owners should let animals work it out themselves and intervene only when necessary.
"When it comes to feeding, feed the dominant dog first and the other dog second," she advises.
Heeter was in Denver as part of the Purina Pro Plan Rally Across America, which made a stop through at the Taste of Colorado in Civic Center. The rally is part of a program to help small community rescue groups find homes for homeless animals.

More information about the Latvian INTESE partners
BEF Latvia
Baltic Environmental Forum - Latvia (BEF Latvia)
BEF Latvia, similarly to other BEF organizations, is a legal entity which was established as a non-profit organisation in 2003 as the successor of the technical assistance programme that acted during 1995-2004. Its general goal is to promote the significance of environmental protection, by developing co-operation and dialogue between various institutions and stakeholders, and by increasing their capacities in implementation of environmental management. BEF Latvia develops, implements and actively participates in national and international projects contributing to achievement of the goal of the organisation. It organizes trainings, seminars and expert meetings on the subject matters of environment, management and communication. Organisation aims to promote higher accessibility of information and understanding of the principles of environmental protection in various fields and economic sectors. Since 2003, energy issues have been of high priority on the programme of the organization. The target group has been local authorities and municipal enterprises. Until now several international events on use of energy sources and energy saving measures have been organized, as well as targeted publications on energy and environment related issues have been published. Among the recent ones are: "Increasing energy performance of buildings: European Union policy and good practice examples in municipalities", 2008 and "Increase of energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources in municipalities", 2006 (both in Latvian). BEF Latvia continues facilitating a dialog of the involved stakeholders and organizing trainings and seminars needed for improvement of their professional capacities in the field of energy and environment. Municipalities and municipal enterprises are among primary target groups at the capacity building activities. BEF Latvia is the Coordinator of the INTENSE project and as such takes the overall responsibility for its smooth implementation. It takes over the project management, performs as a country co-ordinator for Latvia and has the co-lead role at WP2 on "Legal preconditions for energy saving measures faced by municipalities".
Riga Energy Agency
Riga Energy Agency (Latvia)
The municipal agency of Riga "Riga Energy Agency" with a short title "REA", is a municipal institution established in January 2007 in accordance with the resolution of the Riga City Council and co-financed by the project "Creation of energy management agencies in the BORDEAUX agglomeration (France), City of LATINA (Italy), City of MURCIA (Spain), City of PORTO (Portugal) and City of RIGA (Latvia)"of the European Union programme "Intelligent Energy - Europe".
The objective of the REA is to provide management and coordination for the development of power supply and increase of energy efficiency in the municipality through elaboration of relevant concepts (for example, heat supply), programmes and projects. Furthermore, the key objective of REA is to provide citizens of Riga with information particularly about the issue of energy efficiency.
More precisely the objectives of REA are the following: to update and further develop the concept of heat supply in Riga; to develop a programme for energy efficiency and to monitor its implementation in an annual overview; to develop Saustainble Energy Action Plan; to establish an information centre for energy efficiency; to participate in the development of legislation and normative acts and to co-operate on national and international level with different supportive groups and stakeholders; to ensure the performance of energy audits; and to develop and distribute publications on energy efficiency and related subjects.
The establishment of REA is an achievement, as it is the first energy agency in Latvia. In two years of practice, REA has accomplished many important steps. Pointing out some of them, REA initiated that Riga City has signed the Covenant of Mayors at the beginning of 2009. REA is appointed to manage all actions concerning implementation of obligations set in the Covenant of Mayors. REA initiates and takes part in national and international projects concerning energy efficiency, especially in buildings and public awareness rising. In 2008 REA has managed to organize 21 energy audits of dwellings in Riga city. Results are published in the brochure "Energy audits of Dwellings - 2008" in REA website. REA has strong communication with Latvian citizens, governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions, explaining and educating about energy efficiency. REA organizes seminars and exhibitions, publishes leaflets, brochures and an electronic newsletter once in every quarter. More info, see: contacts.
Municipality of Cēsis (Latvia)
The municipality of Cesis, represented in this consortium by its Council, is located 90 km North East of the Latvian capital Riga and surrounded by Gauja National Park. Cesis is one of the oldest and most picturesque medieval towns in Latvia. It claims to be distinct, not only for its geographical location, but also because of the rich cultural and natural heritage and its special place in Latvian history.
Cesis is a town with 19,280 km2 territory and has 18 700 inhabitants. Among other activities, municipal administration is in charge of organising heat energy supplies, maintaining a healthy environment for its citizens, providing support for housing and ensuring and monitoring that building activities are in compliance with development plans.
In the field of energy efficiency the Council has implemented several projects. Improvement of energy efficiency in education institutions and in the buildings of social agency, insulation of library building – these are the major projects implemented during the last three years. The municipality of Cesis has sufficient experience in the field of construction, building and planning due to its responsibilities to control building activities in its territory.
Currently the main problems concerning energy efficiency on the territory of the municipality are the following: a small number of houses where energy audits have been carried out; low energy efficiency in thermal energy transmission and thermal energy parts; a lack of knowledge and information among managers of private housing with regard to the topic of energy efficiency. Despite the fact that many issues are still subject to large investments, some of the issues shall be addressed during the course of this project.
The specific role of the municipality in this project is to participate actively in all project activities and to function as a communal multiplier among other municipalities in Latvia.
