Who loves bunnies and dormice and cephalopods and German vegetarians? This week's link-o-rama loves them all, of course! »
Events! Things to do!
Have you adopted a rabbit yet? If not, don't worry, you have another chance on Saturday, Sept. 4, when East Bay Rabbit Rescue teams with Harvest Home Sanctuary and the House Rabbit Society for a massive art show and adoption event! From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the East Bay SPCA at 4651 Gleason Dr. in Dublin, you can browse and buy bunny artwork, and meet your new best friends like little baby Elmo here, who is only three months old! The art show will continue through the end of the month.
SF Zine Fest returns this weekend! It's awesome, it's free, and our own Jonas is a longtime organizer so attendance is like telling Jonas he's great, which shouldn't be hard because duh, he is. Our Laura will be there with the very first issue of Fat Zine (read about its creation in The Bold Italic!) Plus you can check out other Friends of Vegansaurus, including Susie Cagle, Family Style, Jen Oaks, François Vigneault, and Zine Fest special guest Jesse Reklaw! Zine Fest is located in the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park, at 9th Avenue and Lincoln Way; it's open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 4 and 5. Visit the site for information on workshops, panels, special events, a complete list of exhibitors, interviews, and more!
Update! Davey Surcamp of future vegan bakery A Fire Inside is holding a fundraising vegan bakesale on Monday, Sept. 6 (Labor Day!) from noon to 4:30 p.m. at Haight and Ashbury Streets. Buy a snack, support the bakery, which we REALLY WANT, YOU GUYS. Afterward he'll host a vegan potluck in Buena Vista Park at 5 p.m., noting please that while everyone is welcome, all attendees will need to bring both a vegan dish to share (duh) and their own dinnerware. So there's your three-day weekend covered, you're welcome!
Most of us San Franciscans have friends and relations in other states worrying us about THE BIG ONE and whether we're READY FOR IT, but hyperbole aside, we ought to be minimally earthquake-ready—at least for your pet's sake. To that end, a panel of Disaster Preparedness Coalition for Animals reps will hold a discussion on "Preparing Yourself and Your Animal Companion for a Disaster" on Wednesday, Sept. 8 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Latino/Hispanic Community Meeting Room in the Main Branch of the SFPL. The Main Branch is located at 100 Larkin St, and the Latino/Hispanic Community Meeting Room is on the lower level of the Library.
Hello, Tidbit! At one whole year old, Tidbit is fully grown and a whopping two pounds. We understand that he loves to meet new people, and cannot be kept away from his toys. Tidbit is a rescue bun with Harvest Home Sanctuary, meaning our friend Anne has vouched for his character, and if she says he's confident and happy, he most certainly is. Do you have room in your heart and home for little Tidbit? (hint: YES)
Articles! Things to read!
Remember when we asked you last week if you'd rather eat a GM "salmon" or "willingly donated human meat?" Guess what, we're geniuses: that was, essentially, the question the VEBU wanted everyone to ask, and being vegans, we got it. Wir sind gleich! We're also gleich with scientists who are proving that cephalopods are conscious beings. They might even dream, you guys. What do you suppose squids dream of? What would an octopus' dream look like? Your Vegansaurus will admit to welling up a bit, considering animal minds.
A mountain lion made the mistake of venturing too near "popular restaurants and shops in the north side" of Berkeley on Tuesday morning, so city police, to quote Brock SFist, murdered it. Definitely the right choice, straight-up bullets. Even though the ortolan is an endangered species, it's such a fancypants delicacy in France the government still ignores hunters—how can you stop people from eating something so delicious? Even if 50,000 tiny birds are slaughtered annually, each of which sells for up to £120 on the black market—it's about TRADITION, and CUISINE, something animal-loving barbarians would NEVER understand. Across the Channel, the entire U.K. is up in a bunch over having to build bridges to allow tree-dwelling endangered species like dormice to safely cross giant motorways, once the giant motorways have been built right through the dormice's habitats. Considering how super-extra-endangered Britain's remaining endangered species are, the public may want to consider more serious measures. You jerks had better not kill off all the Mrs. Tiggywinkles. In Israel, a bill that would have banned "the production, processing, import, export and sale of fur from all animal species not already part of the meat industry" will now most likely be withdrawn, as member of the Knesset Menachem Eliezer announced his party no longer supports it, despite a clause added by the bill's sponsor, MK Ronit Tirosh, to allow fur imports for religious purposes (such as the shtreimel worn by ultra-Orthodox men). Dang it, religion: no matter what country or what deity, you're always making things difficult.
Do you read Paula Deenisms? Maya Goodwin, unfortunately, is an ex-vegan who believes that "[v]eganism is a dietary preference that is, in realistic terms, reserved for those who are fortunate enough to afford such an expensive diet." Boo, Maya Goodwin. As an interested party (one of your editors also works for The Morning News!), I am disappointed the interviewer (who is my pal) didn't press her on this point, but of course, we have separate agendas. On the other hand, did you read the good news from old crazyface John Mackey? "[Whole Foods will] introduce a private-label line in 2011 based on the healthy eating book The Engine 2 Diet. We've licensed that brand. It's vegan (no animal fats) with no canola or safflower oils, and low in sugar and salt." YOU GUYS MORE VEGAN FOOD AVAILABLE IN MORE AREAS HOORAY HOORAY. Mackey remains a creep who probably hates fat people and is clearly obsessed with oils—which make your hair look pretty, dude, look into ingesting some—but you bet your ass your Vegansaurus supports his move to bring more vegan food to the people. Like (organic, vegan) Brooklyn Salsa: NYC vegans, check this stuff out! The company uses Glen Industries to make the salsas, which employs people with disabilities, helping them "to realize their goals of where and how they learn, live, play, and work, Glen Industries creates an environment of independence, productivity and integration." Jesus christ, my heart. [BK Salsa info from Shut Up, Foodies!]
Plumpy'nut: when we last looked at Plumpy'nut, Congress was not happy about its creator's proposal to let her Tanzanian factory produce it—what about the precious U.S. farm bill? In a new article, we get a broader view of the complicated business of Plumpy'nut. Internationally, there are complaints that the company that owns its patent is too strict with how it licenses the product, and that the $60-per-child-per-two-month-treatment cost is too high. Then there are complaints from the U.S. peanut lobby, who aren't getting in on any of the action, and from other parties who don't believe in for-profit "therapeutic foods." Yes, it contains milk, but it is a very effective vegetarian supplement; kids love it, and they can eat it at home instead of at a clinic. What do you vegans think: better Plumpy'nut for kids, or something like Heifer International for families?
Right, and McDonald's food does not visibly age. Like at all. That's your restaurant!

The world is bleak: fighting little dogs for half a cracker with this week's link-o-rama! »
Pamela Anderson loves animals! She paid all the expenses for the transport of 50 homeless dogs from New Orleans to a pet adoption program in Virginia, less the two she adopted herself. That is a good thing that a person with money can do. [photo credit: AP]
Get busy with these events!
Tonight eat snacks from Vegansaurus pals Fat Bottom Bakery at the Oakland Art Murmur! Also, there's art, and wandering around Oakland, where it may be warmer than the city! Double-also, art shows very frequently serve free liquor. Go expand your cultural horizons, starting around 5 p.m. and continuing until it's not entirely clear, but not very late (8ish?).
Tomorrow, Saturday Aug. 7, Oakland gets to be awesome again (!) and host this month's SF Underground Market. Which is technically a "Bay Area" underground market, but, all right. It's at 24th Street and Broadway, runs from 5 to 11 p.m., and has a $2 entry fee. There'll be live music, drinks for purchase, and all kinds of food vendors. The location, incidentally, is three (big) blocks from the 19th Street BART station.
If you didn't find what you wanted in Oakland, or were unable (TOO LAZY) to get there, probably you should get over to Hayes Valley Farm on Sunday, Aug. 8 for the Fresh Produce Free-For-All. It is exactly what it sounds like, apparently, and it sounds like AWESOME. Hayes Valley Farm is on Laguna Street between Oak and Fell Streets, and the Fresh Produce party is scheduled from 12:30 to 6 p.m.
Alternatively, you could participate in the protest honoring the 40th anniversary of Lolita the orca's capture. It will be held at "Six Flags Discovery Kingdom" (formerly known as Marine World Africa USA, the saddest not-SeaWorld your Vegansaurus ever visited) in Vallejo from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
More protests next week! On Wednesday, Aug. 11 protest the opening night of the Ringling Bros. circus in Oakland (everything is happening in Oakland now! And HBIC Laura just moved there. This is not a coincidence). The protest will be at the Oracle Arena (7000 Coliseum Way) from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and our pals at Cinnaholic are offering 20 percent off to every protester who brings in a flyer from the event! More details about this and other circus protests here.
Educate yourself with these thrilling news items!
This week in Meat news, British people found themselves accidentally drinking milk and eating meat from cloned cows. Whoopsie daisy! Esquire wouldn't mind cloned meat, but thinks in vitro a much better (and safer) idea. England is exporting miniature cows to the U.S., which SFoodie considered "might save the planet," what with their being extra-small and needing so little food and water and space (the better to pack you on the feedlot, my tiny ones!) Good made a super-disgusting chart of the "average American" annual diet, which include 110 pounds of "red meat," and 600.5 pounds of non-cheese, non-egg dairy products. So that's all milk and yogurt and cream? Ew. Christina Pirello reminded the omnivores that their hamburgers are totally disgusting, though she didn't "[go] all vegan on [them]," just suggested, like, the Dan Barber way, Dan Barber's so great! (no he's not.) Erik Marcus pointed out that it wasn't so much the "meat" component in the "cooking meat led to human intellectual development" theory as the "cooking" part. Shut Up, Foodies! wondered how owners of an emu farm could slaughter and eat the birds who literally hug them.
What Fucked-up Things have people been doing to animals recently? Germany's wild boar population has rapidly increased, and the number of whom are radioactive due to the lasting effects of the Chernobyl disaster has quadrupled. HA HA HA AWESOME. Scientists at the Emory University School of Medicine published research that may explain "the molecular biology of fear"; they studied this by giving "mild" electric shocks to mice. Kerry Ressler, the researcher interviewed for the LiveScience article, really loves his wife and three children. On the subject of fear, military veterinarians are diagnosing dogs with PTSD now. Specifically Gina, a bomb-sniffing German Shepherd, who has been in recovery for a year after returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. She's well enough to work on domestic bases, and maybe she'll get redeployed to on of our Middle East quagmires, just like our human troops! It's nice that dogs get treated equally to (straight) people in the U.S. military, isn't it.
Awwww, isn't it cuuuuuuute? Anthropomorphic cows selling dairy products! It's not at all reminiscent of Suicide Food! And Mouila, the oldest gorilla in England, turned 50 on Monday, and her keepers threw her a birthday party, complete with "presents wrapped with [sic] special gorilla-friendly paper." I'm sure it was always her dream to live in freezing-ass, foggy fucking England and be a baby machine for Howletts Wild Animal Park.
One item of non-terribleness: the guidelines for the first complete replacement for the Draize skin test was adopted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in July, which will, according to PCRM, replace "the rabbit method for most chemicals and products." Fewer bunnies being tortured really is wonderful.
In our Bay Area, people on the Supplemental Nutrition Program (a type of food stamps) can now use their funds at farmers markets in Healdsburg and Petaluma. That is a really great idea! But considering that the federal government made a big fat cut to funding for food stamps this week, who will have the funds to buy fresh, local produce? Our jerkface governor doesn't care about who will pick any of the produce from anywhere, vetoing a bill this week that would have guaranteed farmworkers ONE DAY OFF in every seven worked, and overtime pay for over eight hours worked in a day or 40 in a week. You know, like you'd get in an office for making after-hours copies and drinking soda, or sitting around waiting for deadline DOING NOTHING. As opposed to, maybe, picking fucking strawberries in the hot sun all day, every single day. New York City won't commit to preserving all of its existing community gardens, despite protests—why have a garden when you can have condos?
A pitbull saved a chihuahua from being devoured by a coyote! Stop hating pitbulls already, they are as good a dog as any other. Turns out that the earliest known domesticated animal was, indeed, a dog, and that the act of domestication and bonding with animals may have taught us humans to "learn about and care for fellow creatures." Speaking of which, Ethical Pizza rescued a baby pigeon at the Daly City BART station yesterday! A tiny baby pigeon only three weeks old! YOU GUYS.
The New York Daily News had a little spotlight on Latin American vegan food in NYC, which our crack team of Megan Rascal and sometimes Figaro will get right on reviewing for you! And Team VeganMania won the Sixth Annual Brown Cow Ice Cream Trough Eating Contest, with a separate trough of Chicago SoyDairy's Temptation vegan ice cream! Obviously, vegans and our delicious dairy alternatives are the fucking best, HOORAY.

Paul muss frei! »
I love octopuses and hate everybody! Nothing new about that but I have a renewed hatred for everybody. Why are they trying to fry up Paul?! Paul, the psychic octopus who is famous for predicting the outcome of the World Cup, received death threats from his German and Dutch brethren! Maybe you don't have jerky friends like me but last week everyone on Facebook (ever heard of it?) was posting recipes for fried octopus and whatnot. LO-fricking-L.
Really, what's so funny about that? It's not like people don't already eat octopus. Hey guys, I'm going to post a recipe for hamburgers! Waka waka!
This is what I hate about "working" animals; they do all this stuff for people and then they just get shit on. I swear, one headline read, "The First Millionaire Octopus?" I'm not linking it because it's stupid. Here's the gist: Paul is retiring from sports prediction and entering the advertising business. Also, CNN is stupid. I'm so totally sure Paul is going to reap the benefits of "his" millions. A million dollars could build a pretty big aquarium, which is the VERY LEAST Sea Life could do for him. In other minimalism: the owners are saying his advertising career won't actually involve him directly, just his fame. We can at least say danke for that. [Ed.: Claire Zulkey wrote something sensible about Paul as well that you might like to read!]
After these death threats, PETA Germany is petitioning for the release of Paul. Cross your tentacles, Paul, and hang in there!

Vegan Bakesale TOMORROW! Plus, how to clean birds, shoot dogs, save frogs, and MORE in today's link-o-rama! »
Our pals at Pawesome present shirts by WOWCH, which are super-adorable but not too cute.
Vegan-type fun-times events!
The SF Vegan Bakesale location has moved! It's still happening tomorrow, Saturday May 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but now it will be in front of Herbivore at 983 Valencia St. between 21st and 22nd Streets in the Mission. Be there or be an animal-hating, self-denying jerk!
After the Bakesale, you can protest Thomas Keller's use of foie gras at the French Laundry in Yountville. The protest begins at 6:30 p.m. The groups will also protest at Keller's restaurants Bouchon in Beverly Hills at 7 p.m., and at Per Se in NYC at 11:30 a.m. (EDT!). For more information, including contacts for carpooling, click here.
Burned out on Bakesales? Don't want to cross the Bay Bridge? Maybe check out this mysterious "A Taste For You—Spring Flavor Vegan-Style" with chefs Wanda Crudas and HuNia at the North Oakland Senior Center on Saturday at 1 p.m. instead. The event features cooking demos and snacks (including Souley Vegan and Cafe Gratitude), local entertainment, activities for kids, and costs $15 in advance, $20 at the door. For more information, visit one of these sites.
Items of varying degrees of importance!
PETA blows it again! Definitely, spending donations to fly a weird, nasty message over Mobile, Ala., was a good use of money. You guys are SO EMBARRASSING, GOD. That said, oil-drilling and fishing are ruining the oceans. Stop eating fish, stop driving so goddamn much, and bring some hair to the bakesale tomorrow to help clean up the animal victims of the Deep Horizon disaster.
And speaking of whom: Popular Mechanics explains how trained volunteers clean these birds. The Audubon Magazine blog has regular, super-informative updates on the wildlife suffering from this tragedy as well.
Some lady—who isn't a nutritionist, therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or even someone with a certificate in "food studies" from a community college—would like parents to watch out for their "strict vegan" kids, who are probably suffering from "orthorexia." Ma'am, you are an idiot; kindly shut the fuck up. Also: would you like a cupcake?
Bryant Terry was on Martha Stewart on Monday! How did we miss this? He cooked citrus chard with raisins and spinach with garlic and chile, both of which sound simple and scrumptious. Yes, Alice Waters was there, too.
Save the Frogs got Gary Danko to stop serving Florida pig frogs, and earned a single, ultra-snide article about it. Good job, guys! Shut up, news.
Read a story that's not worth a whole rant, but definitely rates an angry sentence or two? Send me the link. For the time being, look at my Oliver! Like Toto, poppies make him sleepy. Or maybe it's the sunshine, who knows.
Obviously we aren't going because we're all blogging for pennies/underemployed and -paid/unemployed losers/neither scientists nor medical researchers (if we were, we wouldn't be here, suckers), but: PCRM is hosting a two-day educational conference in August on animal testing that sounds amazing—it advertises "a global panel of experts to discuss existing and promising alternatives to the use of animals in research"—and if you are involved in the sciences, perhaps you should attend! And send us a postcard about how great it is.
Mike Tyson is VEGAN? Say WHAT? That's possibly weirder than these crazy-looking "gaze-averting" glasses that allow people to look at gorillas in zoos without causing the apes to feel threatened.
The only place I've seen the Shelter Pet Project commercials is on MSNBC during The Rachel Maddow Show, and they are CHRISTMAS-THEMED. Not enough, you guys. Help get the word out—an adopted pet is the best pet!
The ag industry is SO MAD at the Humane Society and its successes in showing consumers that they can change the industry's cruelest practices. And though Cargill may not care, we're happy that HSUS has won its federal case against Hudson Valley Foie Gras, which has been charged with multiple violations of the Clean Water Act.
Ike's neighbors are SO MAD at Ike, his mom, and Ike's customers, and are trying to get him evicted from the building. How can you guys complain about losing your yards when you don't have any yards?
Mine is now available on DVD, iTunes and Netflix! Buy it for your mom, if you believe in celebrating corporate holidays! You could also buy her a falafel from a Michael Mina restaurant, because it's (apparently) vegan and moms love it when you spend lots of money on them.
A Canadian guy shot a bear that turned out to be a grizzly-polar bear hybrid. A marine biologist says this is a result of climate change, and predicts there will be more interbreeding between marine mammals as the ice caps melt. Uh, neat?
Guns are the fucking worst. In Oakland last Saturday, some police officers shot a deer to death with their pistols, despite having tranquilizer guns on them. Back in February, on a tip, a SWAT team busted into a Missouri home, shot the family pit bull to death, and shot and injured the family corgi. There's video, but it's awful, especially around 3:14 when the guy being arrested realizes what the police have done. Right, and of course the guy and his wife were later charged with child endangerment.
But a Dresdner man "married" his cat of 10 years, Cecelia, because she is already 15 and does not have much longer to live and he loves her very much. An unnamed actor officiated the ceremony. So that's—less depressing than the police shooting your dogs for NO GOOD REASON. On the other hand, the Florida state legislature refused to pass an anti-bestiality bill, because of stupidity.

» Goat in a Coat, or Ziege in Jacke
Und??? Habe ich's nicht gesagt? Wenn die Tiere draußen in der Wildnis schon mal anfangen Jacken anzuziehen, dann ist es doch der ultimative Beweis dafür, dass der Winter endlich zu Ende gehen sollte…
"Winter… Mann… Du bist peinlich… Hör doch endlich auf… Sammle endlich alle deine Spielzeuge auf und verzieh dich nach Hause, da wo du herkommst… Hör auf zu heulen und verschwinde lieber!…"
Ja… Jetzt habe ich's dem Winter aber gegeben!… Bin ganz stolz auf mich… Die dumme Ziege aber packe ich eindeutig in die Schublade "Fundstücke"… Ja, das Leben ist schon eine verdammt merkwürdige Veranstaltung…
This goat in a coat is, apparently a sign that winter is nearly over. Really I'd say that this sleeveless garment is more of a vest, but who wants to quibble about semantics when the point is THE GOAT IS WEARING PEOPLE CLOTHES.

Like myself, I'm sure you've been too busy to watch any movies ever since they put My So-Called Life on Hulu. But I've got something for you! Not just a movie but a DOCUMENTARY! A BUNNY documentary! A POLISH bunny documentary! Like that roll-out? Yes normally I steer clear of documentaries on account of my aversion to learning, but this one looks like something I can handle!
Królik po berlinsku, or Rabbit à la Berlin is a 40-minute film about the rabbits who lived between the Berlin Walls. I miss a lot of things, especially when they pertain to commies, and I guess I missed that there were actually two Berlin Walls. Or really, I guess it was this whole structure with guarded towers and a small amount of space that ran in between the whole thing. Also known as the "death zone," for 28 years this grassy, predator-free area was home to our rabbit protagonists. With all they could eat and their own armed guards, their numbers grew to the thousands. Um, amazing!
It seems like a decidedly different view of a tense political period. Basically, the bunnies were chilling. And guess what! Rabbit à la Berlin is up for an Oscar in the documentary short category. Yay bunnies! Unfortunately, I've only seen this trailer. I'm not sure where or when you can catch the short but I'm guessing film festivals for the time being. How much do you love the music in this trailer though? Hint: SO MUCH.

In your current edition of Zoos Are Bullshit, meerkats, native to Botswana and South Africa (think Kalahari DESERT), live in the snow at a zoo in Worms, Germany. But you guys, how else are kids going to learn about animals!? YOU HAVE TO SUFFER FOR YOUR ART, MEERKATS! Brilliant.

BEEF!: nicht für Frauen—unless your Mann gives it to you »
We've discussed this idiocy before, how eating meat should make you a real big man, with manly muscles and a manly penis and all those other attributes that make the ladies and lady-dudes just swoon. Worse, as painful as it is to consider our grandparents having to suffer that bullshit in the '50s, it looks like we're being subjected to it again. To wit: not only is everybody eating meat, raw meat, but according to some Hamburghers,* beef in particular is a Man's Food and should be revered as such, in its own magazine with fancy title-punctuation: BEEF! for Men with Taste. Oh Germany, how clever you are. The Double X blog has a tidy little dissection, as it were,** but which doesn't go far enough—roll your eyes at the disgusting-in-all-senses-of-the-word articles, shake your fist with rage at the "men are chefs, women are cooks" stereotypes, because even when dudes take on kitchen responsibilities it is all fun and games and aren't they creative with their amaaaazing dinners and photos and knife collections! Ladies, leftovers casserole again? Boring, gross, make me a sandwich and/or pie, bitch! GOD, variations on this joke will never get old.
All of which is, yes, obnoxious in the extreme. Even when everyone's wearing an apron, someone's taking His more seriously than Hers—especially when His is covered with aromatic, erotic, freshly butchered lamb's blood,*** and Hers is caked with rapidly cementing flour-and-dishwater paste. The Editor in Chief of BEEF! says so himself (sample quote: "Women cook because they have to. For the kids who come home hungry at lunch, or in the evening for their partner. Men cook because they want to. Because it's their hobby, their passion.") It's hard in there for a grrrrl.
It's also hard out there for a dude who doesn't want to eat meat. He's not a man's man, you see; how can he be, if he's not willing to hunt and kill a meal for you, or at least craft supper out of the murdered remains of a less powerful animal? First you eat your meat to grow up big and strong, and once you are big and strong, you eat meat to prove you're still at the "top" of the "food chain" (do we think about any other "chains" in terms of "tops" and "bottoms," by the way?). That's logic—manly logic! BEEF! logic!! The kind that comes to you after your brain has melted from BSE. Possibly the same that assumes anyone believes any of this anymore. Our favorite ways to insult a vegetable-eater's looks—"anemic," "anorexic," "pale"—are all synonymous with weakness, frailty, the physical opposite of the macho man with his heroic penis and big creative brain. I mean, what do we eat, salads? Not even real food! Certainly not food worth using "Knives to Die For" on!
BUT: What's the point? BEEF! isn't really a magazine, in the sense that issues are published with any regularity (the first is dated October 2009; the second is due in May 2010) or that it's supposed to do anything besides idolize a lifestyle that only ever existed between the pages of Playboy. Maybe with the rise of power German ladies, unemployed German dudes needed to carve out some space for themselves—the world being divided into G.R.O.S.S. members and everyone else—or maybe I shouldn't have written this response at all, because manufacturing trends is stupid, this magazine's premise is silly, and meat is fucking disgusting. Given the choice, I'd much rather kiss a man who doesn't eat meat—ethics are hot, they imply you have a brain.
[For further reading on meat and gender roles, do please visit the Sociological Images blog.]
**ON FIRE with the wit today. I'm so sorry.
***BARF OK kill me now.

Laura McKenzie's Pet Travel Tips
1. Check with your airline to see if they require a Veterinary Health Certificate, which must be provided by a licensed Veterinarian.
2. Bring a photo of you holding your pet in case the pet is lost and you have to provide proof of ownership.
3. You can organize the photo and any of your pet's health records in Petsmart's "My Dog's Health and I.D. Records Passport." www.petsmart.com
4. To calm an anxious pet before and during travel, try a natural supplement like Pet-Ease Soft Chews by Nutri-Vet (www.petsmart.com) or use a Thundershirt (www.thundershirt.com), which wraps around your pet to give them a calm, comforting feeling.
5. If you have to feed your pet or give them water at the airport, Popware for Pets Collapsible Travel Cups are perfect. They come in two sizes, are dishwasher safe and conveniently hook onto your dog's leash. You may also want to try their Collapsible Kennel Bowl that snaps onto the inside of larger size kennels for pets traveling in cargo. www.popwareforpets.com
6. Always check with the airline to see what their regulations and size requirements are for pet kennels. Every airline is different. You'll also want to find out the rules and regulations for in-cabin pets versus pets that are traveling as cargo. The Sleepypod Air is a pet carrier that has the ability to contract in size to fit in the space below a range of airline seats. It also expands to allow your pet more room after the plane is in the air. Go to www.sleepypod.com/air for more information.
7. Southwest Airlines is a pet-friendly airline that actually sells their own pet carrier which fits under the seats of all Southwest planes. It can normally be purchased at any Southwest ticket counter, but call ahead just to be sure. www.southwest.com/pets
8. Whenever possible, take your pet to the bathroom before going into the airport. You can also pack some puppy training pads in your carry-on bag if your pet needs to relieve themselves once you're inside the airport. And, for added peace of mind, pick up a 1 ounce travel size bottle of Petsmart's Top Paw Super Deodorizing Spray just in case your pet has an accident inside their carrier. www.petsmart.com

It's only been one day, and I am completely loving being home and with my family! Last night we all just completely pigged out on brownies and oreos and my mom made her amazing homemade broccoli soup and we just hung around and ate good food and my little brothers attempted to teach me how to "dougie" hahaha. Then today we continued to eat even more good food and lounged around watching movies together. It's just been so great. My brothers and I have also started making plans for "brother-sister" dates to go on this week, and I'm just so excited. Spring Break is going to be wonderful.
Since I'm planning on thoroughly enjoying relaxing and spending time with the people I love most, I probably won't be on Tumblr for the rest of this week.. But! If you want to keep up with how I'm doing you can follow me on Twitter here, or for the next week or so I'm going to put some other encouraging posts on Queue that have really encouraged and spoken to me these past couple of weeks. I'll set it for around 7:30ish each night. Hopefully they encourage and bless you too!
Have a beautiful and blessed week, friends! :)
Today officially begins my Spring Break!
I am just so happy thinking about how I'll be home for the entire week and enjoying things like watching I Love Lucy while all snuggled up on the couch with a bunch of cozy blankets, and reading times with my younger brother (we've currently been reading Inkheart together) and just relaxing and enjoying the comforts of home and family.
Ah, so much excitement. Spring Break, here I come! :)
Today I went with my friend Autumn to her church and helped out with her toddler class. Firstly, she was like, "Okay, I have to warn you.. there are a lot of sweet old ladies at my church and they LOVE new people so they're pretty much going to swarm you when you come in.." hahaha. And it's true! They were all so friendly and I love getting welcomed and meeting everyone. Then we went to her toddler class…
And I seriously couldn't have enjoyed myself more! We taught them the story of David and Goliath, and we made the cutest David and Goliath sock puppets and the kids seriously loved them. Once the little boys learned the David was the "good guy" and Goliath was the "bad guy" they kept making them play fight and this little boy kept saying "David pushed Goliath off a cliff!" hahaha. We tried to remind him about the real story, but it was just too cute.
Overall they loved playing with their puppets and we ate animal crackers and watched Veggie Tales and I seriously just couldn't stop smiling and laughing and singing along. I loved every second of it. I really do love being around little kids so much. They have such innocent and joyful personalities and really do have so much to teach us adults. Like Jesus said, we all need to become like little children. SO full of trust and joy and not weighed down by the worries of this world. I just had so much fun today and made me re-realize how much I truly love being around little kids. I can't wait until the next chance I get to spend time with those cute little kiddos :)
Today was seriously so great. I woke up after getting plenty of rest (which was pretty exciting and rare, but much enjoyed) and I just felt excited to start the day. I packed my backpack full of books and such and went down to my favorite study area and I checked the mail to discover I had a handwritten letter! I love getting mail, so that definitely made me smile.
I spent the day working and reading and listening to good music and then I went with a friend for dinner and a movie.. and we went to THEE cutest and most wonderful Irish pub! I was seriously so giddy and absolutely fell in love with it. If you know me, you know one of my dreams is to go to Ireland. I just love everything about it. The Irish pub was actually really authentic and the vibe was wonderful and I loved my food and the atmosphere and I can't wait to go back! New favorite place? I think so. So we ate and went to the movies and it was just a really fantastic time. And tomorrow I'm going with my friend Autumn to her church and helping her with her Toddler class! I love little kids and we're going to make crafts and ah, I'm just so excited.
Basically today was great. And I've been learning more and more how even if nothing "big and exciting" happens, there really are so many blessings and wonderful little things in everyday life to be thankful for and make you smile. Like getting a warm and delicious chocolate chip cookie for dessert today or wearing one of my favorite cardigans. Just enjoying the really small things can have such a huge impact on your perspective and cultivating a thankful and joyful heart. Ah, I just love it.
Well so that's a bit about my day! It really was such a blessing. I hope you all had a beautiful day too, friends! And have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow :)
- Math (25 problems).
- Read "Diary of a Madman" (11 pages).
- Read "Les Mis" (50 pages).
- Write 2 papers.
- Study for my Environmental Conservation quiz on Monday.
- Study for math (Read the textbook, do practice exams and work review problems).
Oh, college life. But! At least I get off easy this weekend :) So exciting not to have any Political Science articles to read or any other exams to study for :)
One of my favorite passages in the bible is in Luke 10:38-42. It's where Jesus goes to visit Martha and Mary. Martha is super busy rushing around the house trying to fix dinner and make everything all perfect, and Mary is sitting at Jesus's feet just listening and being with him. And Martha is upset and pretty much just tells Jesus, "Lord! I'm doing all the work and Mary is just sitting there. Tell her to help me!" And Jesus lovingly tells her, "Martha.. you're worried about so many things! But Mary has chosen what is better, and it won't be taken away from her."
One reason I love this so much is because it reminds me to check my priorities. I feel so often that I'm like Martha; so focused on DOING things that I forget to be still and just enjoy being with Jesus. But she missed out, and I really want to be like Mary; who chose what was better, and it wouldn't be taken away from her. I will never forget a few years ago when I was a senior in High School, and I had been super involved in youth group and a few different bible studies.. and yet I had been feeling as if I hadn't felt God in awhile. And I remember just praying and asking God what was up.. and I will never forget hearing him say, "Mandy.. I miss you." And I was like, "What are you talking about? I've been super invovled and doing so much for you.." and then it hit me. Yeah, I was DOING so much.. but I had been letting my "Christian Activities" take the place of spending real time with Jesus.
After God had spoken, I realized how much I missed him too, and my priorities completely shifted. I didn't quit being invovled in youth group and bible study, but I realized that quality time with just me and Jesus was more important. I spent more time just quieting my heart and being with Jesus; being taught by him and learning how to become more like him, and I found myself falling more and more in love with him. I honestly couldn't wait to wake up early in the morning and read my bible and hear from Jesus. And then I would take my bible to school and read whenever I had down time, and then I would come home from school and just continue to pray and spent time with God. And I'm not saying that to make myself sound all "good" or anything. But when I chose to pursue Jesus above all else, it was just so amazing how God gave me such a hunger and love for being with him, and he never ceased to fulfill me and bring me complete joy in him.
Lately I've just been re-learning again how everything is so completely worthless to truly knowing God. Even if I get my dream job, or I get married and have the most beautiful family and all my dreams come true and I get to travel the world and lead bible studies and everything else.. It will all be completely lost if I do not have a deep and intimate relationship with my Savior. When we choose to stop rushing around and still our hearts and lives and come meet with Jesus we will never regret it, and what we learn and the relationship we develop from being with Jesus will not be taken away from us.
Honestly, I really needed to re-read this in Luke today. It was much needed and such a blessing. I hope this encourages you as well to put aside everything that hinders, and spend some time being still in resting in Jesus today. He would seriously love to spend time with you, and I promise you that you won't regret it! Have a beautiful day, friends!
You know what I love? I'm talking like absolutely love "best feeling in the world" kinda thing? The feeling of knowing you've been productive. Today I have been up since 6:45 am and have worked on homework non-stop all morning, and then today I had a lot of phone calls to make and college related papers to fill out and stuff I had to get organized and I just finished every single thing on my list. I am seriously so proud of myself right now. Three cheers for getting things accomplished! :)
It's only Wednesday, but this week has seriously already been SO wonderful! On Monday my mom spontaneously came and visited me at school, and it was so much fun! We have thee cutest 50's diner on campus that I absolutely love going to, and we went and ate and listened to 50's music and got to catch up and it was just so great. Then this week has been a bit rainy, and I LOVE it when it rains. It smells so wonderful and I got to walk around campus and smell the rain and then come back to my dorm and feel all snuggly and warm and cozy when it's so wet outside. I just loved it. And then! Have you seen the weather outside today? It's absolutely beautiful! It's just been such a great week.
Plus! The whole month of February has been super crazy busy for me school wise. I honestly had 4 tests, 2 projects, 1 paper and at least 7 quizes due. And that doesn't include all the reading I had to do for my classes and my regular homework I had to do. So yeah. It was seriously insane and I've been working non-stop. I've practically been living in the computer lab these past couple of weeks haha. But! The really awesome part is that tomorrow it will be March! And I'm seriously SO excited because yesterday I had a test and today I had a project due and now I feel like I can finally take it easy for a few weeks! In March I only have my regular homework, plus only like 2 tests, and a quiz and a paper. So still working hard.. but not as overwhelming. Plus it's Spring Break in less than 2 weeks and I just cannot stop smiling whenever I think about getting to relax for a few days!
So yes! This week has already been so completely fantastic! I can't wait to see what the rest of the week holds :)
Hm. Well, I bite my nails. I've been told that it's really gross to do that because your fingernails "have more germs than a toliet". haha. So I suppose if that's true, then chewing on my nails is pretty disgusting. So there ya go! "Something Disgusting I Do" :)
This weekend was pretty fantastic! I went home, and there is just something so wonderful and comforting about being back home and being with my family. On Friday my old High School was doing the musical Les Mis, which I love, and my youngest brother asked me to take him so we went to that. It was seriously SO good! I was actually shocked (in a really good way) with how well everyone did. It was just really awesome. I ended up crying because of how touched I was. (If you don't know the story of Les Mis, you should seriously check it out. I'm actually reading the book for school right now and it's really, really good. You can also go on youtube and watch the 25th Anniversary Concert they did in London.. it's in HD quality and the whole thing is amazing). But yeah, it was just really great and espcially cool because a lot of my friends and people I knew from High School were in it, so it was really fun to see them all act and get into their characters.
Then on Saturday I went shopping with my family, and later that night a bunch of friends and I went to see Les Mis together. I started crying.. again. My friends were like, "Aw Mandy you were three seats away and I could still hear your sniffles!" hahaha I just laughed. I couldn't help it! Such a beautiful story. Then my friend Charissa and I had a sleepover and watched the Incredibles (I seriously love that movie. I was so excited to watch it haha) and talked and just enjoyed getting to catch up after us both being away at school for awhile.
Sunday morning we went to church… and it ended up being such a blessing to me. After the message there was a time where the piano was played and everyone in the church had time to just be still and pray and bring before God anything that was on their hearts. It ended up being a real time of worship and surrendering to God and you could just tell he was there with us. I completely laid down what was on my heart, and I could tell God was there, reassuring me that nothing is impossible for him, and he holds my world in his loving hands. It was just a beautiful time of meeting with God.
So yeah! That's a sneak peak into my wonderful weekend home. I love weekends like that. Only two more weeks until I'm home for a whole week! Three cheers for Spring Break! :)
13. A Date You Would Love To Go On.
Oh this is fun! Okay, so something about me? I absolutely LOVE the zoo! Seriously. Especially the elephants. I get super giddy when I see them and I love feeding them carrots and apples. I feel like such a little kid when I get to go to the zoo and see the animals and I honestly just smile the whole time and hum and sing and skip around with THEE biggest smile on my face. I would be the happiest girl if the right guy came and took me to the zoo for the day. I actually haven't been to the zoo for like a year and a half, which is pretty sad. But the last time I went I honestly just had so much fun and loved every second of it. Here are some pictures of me feeding the animals! :)
Honestly, there's still a lot that has been left unsettled between us.
The last real interaction we had was actually a few weeks ago, when he sent me a letter in the mail. It was so unexpected. But since then we haven't really sat down and talked about the things in the letter or what happened leading up to it. And I feel like I really have no idea what page he's on right now or what exactly his thoughts are concerning anything to do with us. It's not like he's said, "Hey, can we get coffee or something and sit down and talk about what happened?" and we talked about things and got some closure or started working things out or anything like that. And maybe he has no desire to. Like I said, I really have no idea what he's thinking. But hey, if he cares and really wants to talk, then he'll make an effort to make that happen. And if he doesn't want to, then he won't.
But really, any questions or thoughts or feelings I have or things I want to say and talk about with Ben I've just been bringing before God, and we've been working through this together. He has never once left my side, even through all the hurt, tears and unanswered questions. I am just so thankful and blessed that God loves me and hears the cries of my heart. I don't really know much about what's going to happen next, but I know I can definitely count on being able to talk through it with God. And really, knowing he's here, is really more than enough for me.
This morning has been just wonderful!
I woke up early and got a lot of homework done before my first class. I did some laundry and started to pack for this weekend (I know, I know.. It's only Tuesday and the weekend seems forever away. But hey! If I get packed now, then come Friday I don't have to worry about it and can just grab my bag and head for home without a second thought. Sounds like a plan to me!) I've been listening to the most fantastic playlist while I do my homework and fold my clothes and I'm thoroughly enjoying humming and singing and smiling along. I made plans for dinner tonight with a close friend, had a lovely phone conversation with my mom before she leaves for her National Meeting tomorrow, and now I'm about to work on a homework/study schedule for the rest of the week.
Ah, being productive. Feels so fantastic. And of course, good music makes it all the better :)
Have a blessed day, friends!
If you're sad or depressed, or if you just want someone to talk to, I'm here.
Go anon if you want to, tell me everything that's making you sad.
I will not judge you.
I typically don't do a lot of "reblogs", but I really do mean this! If you need someone to talk to or need encouragement or want prayer for ANYTHING, just send me a message! No judgement: Just love.
Single Life.
I've never been one of those girls who always felt like they needed to have a boyfriend. I never even dated in High School. And it wasn't like I never went to dances with guys or got asked out or anything. I just wasn't interested in dating someone I couldn't see myself marrying someday. And whenever I liked someone, I would just pray about it and trust what I felt God telling me. Some people may think not dating in high school sounds stupid. But you know what? I was seriously completely happy. I spent all of my time just having fun and hanging out with my friends, both guys and girls, and it was completely fantastic. I was just really content and enjoying life with God and friends, and that was awesome. Yeah, I won't lie. There were definitely times when my friends would be dating a guy and they would be all cute together and I would kinda wish I would meet the guy for me. I mean honestly, who doesn't have moments like that? But my thing was that I never wanted just "a boyfriend". My heart was completely set on waiting for Mr. Wonderful. And I really was completely content and happy and had the attitude of, "God, you know I'd be super jazzed to meet him soon, but really, I love my life so much. I'm totally cool with growing and learning in you and whenever you think I'm ready and he's ready, then I'll be super excited to meet him!"
And you know what? Even after all this time, I can honestly say my perspective is still the same. It's definitely a stillness that God is giving me to not feel rushed or anxious about what He's going to do next concerning a guy in my life. Especially now that a lot of my close friends are getting engaged and married (So crazy to think about.. We're still so young! haha.) But honestly, I don't hate being single. It's not about "having a boyfriend" just for the label. Being single is actually a really cool gift from God. I feel like God has and is continuing to teach me so much when it's just Him and I. And honestly, I seriously just feel so good about the future concerning Mr. Wonderful. I really don't feel the need to be looking out for him or wondering when I'm going to meet him or what I should do if I already have. I'm not anxious or envious of my married friends. I still pray for my future husband constantly, but I just have this complete trust that God is molding him to be the strong leader and Godly man he needs to be. God will send him when he's ready. And when I'm ready. Because lately I've been realizing more and more how it's not so much about "finding the right person" as it is about "becoming the right person". Which is just super cool to pray about and grow into the girl God wants me to be, and know that through God's molding, I'm growing a heart that's more like him, and learning how I'm going to make a really great wife someday. Super cool to think about.
So yeah! If you're single.. Really, it's worth the wait to trust that God knows SO much better than we do and to trust that his fantastic plan is going to be worked out. And really, God loves you SO much and wants your joy and fulfillment even more than you do! He's crazy about you, friend! So keep seeking him and his heart and as you grow more like him, I can assure you that you're going to realize just how much he wants to make all your dreams come true. And remember: You can't find love until you fall in love with the one who made it. Let God love you and let him romance you. Falling more in love with the One who loves you will be the greatest romance you'll ever have.
I hope this was a blessing in some way. Have a beautiful day, friends! :)

Repurposed Furniture by &Made
Using what you've got, making something from nothing, reducing, reusing, recycling - these are all reasons we here at Apartment Therapy love a good repurposing. Which brings us to London design studio &Made...
Their Lost & Found Stools are made from furniture found on the street combined with solid timber. Same goes for their Lost & Found Tables. Both collections of furnishings were made for a cafe interior at the East London Design Show.

no. there is a difference when it is done right and when it just looks like you taken a cut of a tree trunk and slapped in on some chair legs. it looks like something that could have been done by a 10 year old with an axe living in africa.
I grow weary of logs and stumps.
Maybe on a front porch in the mountains....or the Alps.
interesting.... looks very uncomfortable.
The green legs are adorable, but I'm not a huge fan of the log look. They'd look awesome with a little marble top instead!
I am a fan of the appropriate use of the editorial we though: "we here at Apartment Therapy".
Frankenstein furniture gone terribly wrong. The only piece I like is the last one because it actually works; I like the interesting shape of the wood tabletop with the red legs.
I think if the little rocking stump didn't have the bark on it and it was actually smooth and weathered it would look amazing...and more inviting.

This past weekend Kanye West decided to make the mother of his child an honest woman and proposed to Kim Kardashian on her birthday. He rented out the entire San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park for the proposal though. You know Kim, she does love sports. Now video of the proposal has emerged.
It is weird and looks like a concert at first. The lights are off and it's dark there are some pyrotechnics going off and a string quarter playing. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are watching them alone and far removed from everyone else and who ever is videotaping the thing. When they finish playing the lights come on, Kanye gets down on one knee and proposes to Kim.
It doesn't take her long to say yes and you can hear cheering as a group of family and friends come out to greet them and congratulate the couple. Then they continue to party on the outfield of the ball park, and of course they're listening to Kanye West music,
The video ends with a snippet of a toast.

Okay so I havent been able to upload ANY artwork because my scanner has been down and my computer upstairs in my room is DEAD. Its literally been two months since uploading artwork onto here. Improvements are noticable.
What scanners would you guys reccomend? Anything affordable?
Really appreciate the help!
Talent and Creativity are yours to use and keep
I have a Lexmark All-In-One. Cost me under £40, and it's a scanner, copier and fax. Pretty reliable, too.
From what I've seen, Epson's tend to work fairly well. I've used an hp 3in1 and I wasn't satisfied with the results.
Some Helpful Links:

I've got a Cannon Lide600F it is pretty good...I think it was around $150.
Cannon's Scanners are pretty good.
I still wish there was a hardware/art supply forum, so there's a great area for electronics, and art supplies in one forum.
I've had my Epson Perfection 1260 for about 6 years now, still works fine.
you cant go wrong with epson, i use a giant a3 one at school and its amazing
Bumping this.
My scanner also died. Is there any difference between the budget ones?
I'm planning on buying the cheapest smallest, but since I've got some jobs that require accurate scanning (pencil sketches) I might as well buy a more expensive one.
This is really a jungle and someone oughta know about this crap.
the cheapest scanners these days scan in resolutions way beyond your needs. I use a Canon LiDE and it gets the job done.Bumping this.

This is really a jungle and someone oughta know about this crap.
Most monitors supports resolutions beyond my needs without getting "the job done".
I bought an 2nd hand hp scanner (that also broke down) which was really expensive, but had even worse quality than my multifunction I used five years ago. Doesn't seem that specs matter when it comes to scanners.
Aren't there any serious testsites that reviews scanners? I have a few regarding other computer hardware which I frequently use when I shop.
I think I use the same one. Says CanoScan LiDE 90 on the top. It's a good scanner. Scans at 600 dpi max (plenty for what I need), it's USB powered and it's really thin. The software ain't crap either. I think I got it for about $70 - $80. I can't remember.
Check out my sketchbook.
Canons are really good, yeah. O_O I have a Multipass F20 that lasted a few years. I'll have to give it up though. I wish I could get my hands on an A3 scanner. XD Yeah, where would THAT fit in my itty bitty space? :3
I have an Epson Perfection 3490, great scanner! I found Epson to be the best in terms of getting the right colours when scanning colour work. So I recommend an Epson.
Well my Lexmark X5100 all-in-one has just started playing up on the printing side after 7 years. Scanner still works even if it's only 300dpi.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
If I had my druthers I'd love to have a large format scanner, 12 x 17" A3 tabloid size. That would make most of my scanning chores so much easier. Unfortunately, the only affordable (< $200) brand I've seen is Mustek, but I've read bad reviews of them. Other brands at that size are $1000 and up, which puzzles me. Outside of that, scanning transparencies for slides and film negatives is a nice feature for me. I'm fond of the Canoscan line also.
Canon Lide series durable, portable and reliable.
Epson will occasionally sell refurbs on their official site in the "clearance" section. If you are patient and watch it you can get some great deals.
I got a Espon 4900 Photo scanner for $90 and my dad got his for $40 (just needed a power cable which = $6 from RadioShack). I highly recommend this scanner. It scans pencils really well.
Another happy Canoscan Lide user here
Still works great after 4 years despite being dropped a couple of times..

Minnesota Vikings CB Antoine Winfield Still Undecided For Saturday
The Minnesota Vikings believe they will have Antoine Winfield available for Saturday's game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. However, the swelling in his hand could be the determining factor. The Vikings appear to have everyone except linebacker Tyrone McKenzie available for the game.
Four Minnesota Vikings Named To The Pro Bowl, Multiple Players Snubbed
A lot has happened with the Minnesota Vikings. The team had four players selected to the Pro Bowl. Blair Walsh tied or broke multiple records Sunday at Houston and Antoine Winfield suffered a fracture in his hand Sunday. The Vikings game time for its final regular season game against the Green Bay Packers has changed. Minnesota lost two players to the Jacksonville Jaguars on waivers.

Financial planning software applications utilize historical data and estimates of future conditions to track a company's financial progress and compare it to business expectations. The long-term survival of a business depends on its ability to establish a budget and operate within its confines. With the help of business budgeting software, businesses can forecast likely future expenses, establish more precise and realistic budgets, and have a greater chance of achieving ongoing profitability.
Here's what we'll cover:
Like many budgeting programs, business forecasting software reduces the opportunity for potential human error. Because budgets are formulated by the recording of business data, human error can drastically affect the budgeting process. Negligence and typos can easily destroy the validity of budget strategies. With the right system, however, automated reminders can ensure that the user knows when to input key business information for budget analysis.
Effective business budget software can also automatically import data directly from integrated accounting applications, including the general ledger, ERP system, and HR system. This automated importing strengthens consistency and completeness for data analysis that is reliable and error-free. In addition, the ability to connect and interact with other programs provides consolidated data collection, as well as a variety of different ways to complete the budgeting and forecasting process.
Collaboration in budget formulation becomes much easier with the use of budgeting and forecasting solutions. When certain areas of a company's budget are headed by different individuals, manual collaboration can be troublesome. But with business forecast systems, the budget approval process can be standardized to improve organization and communication. Hypothetical forecasting also allows for the inclusion of complex or often-forgotten factors like inflation. These scenarios improve general awareness of potential obstacles ahead, providing greater foresight in budget formation.
Although some of the most important points of the budgeting and forecasting process are the same across industries, different organizations have different priorities and requirements in finding the right system. Here are the main categories of buyers:
There are a number of considerations when selecting budgeting and forecasting software:
These are some of the major players in the budgeting and forecasting applications market:
|Small businesses
|PlanGuru, Budget Maestro, Epicor
|Medium-sized & growing businesses
|Planning Maestro, Epicor, Adaptive
|Large corporations
|Adaptive Planning, Epicor
A strong budgeting & forecasting system improves accuracy for budgeting and long-term business development planning.
Leading vendors in the budgeting and forecasting software market are expanding their offering and partnering with solutions providers to make organizations more successful. Vendors such as Centage, Alight Planning and Adaptive Planning continue to expand their portfolio, and we've highlighted some of their latest announcements below:
After selecting your budgeting & forecasting system, further challenges emerge such as implementation, staff training, and managing system updates. Many companies choose to work with a consultant or value-added reseller for help with these challenges. If your company is considering this approach, visit our accounting software reseller and consultant directory for a list of the leading companies in your region.
We're able to offer this service to buyers for free, because software vendors pay us on a "pay-per-lead" basis. Buyers get great advice. Sellers get great referrals.

Ousted Mayor cannot run in byelection
Ousted Mayor Rob Ford cannot run in any byelection if one is called to choose his successor, the city's top lawyer said Tuesday.
City solicitor Anna Kinastowski told council that a judge's ruling booting Ford from office for the "current term" precludes that option.
"It is my opinion that that word 'term' means 2010 to 2014," Kinastowski said.
"That is our interpretation of that particular fact."
On Monday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ordered Ford removed from office for violating conflict of interest rules.
Ford, Hackland found, was "wilfully blind" in taking part in a council vote on whether he should repay $3,150 he had solicited for his private foundation using city letterhead.
Hackland could have barred Ford from running again for seven years, but instead opted to disqualify him for the "current term."
Immediately after, Ford said he would fight the decision and planned to run in any byelection, estimated to cost about $7 million, that council calls to fill his seat.
"I'm a fighter," the mayor said.
"If there's a byelection, my name will be the first one on the ballot."
Some lawyers called Hackland's order ambiguous but Kinastowski said she didn't see that.
"If down the road there is a byelection and Mr. Ford does not agree with our interpretation, he can certainly take action to get a judicial interpretation at that time," she said.
Coun. Paula Fletcher said council will probably go with the solicitor's advice that the "term" runs from when he was elected in 2010 until 2014.
"Sometimes the mayor interprets the rules differently than everybody else," she said.
The mayor's woes multiplied, with one of his key allies and main defenders on council, Giorgio Mammoliti, announcing he was stepping down from Ford's executive council.

This part of the story picks up 7 years after the war when the kids had all come back.
"I know."
"We should just let her be, a little longer."
"How long is a little longer, Fergus?? She has stayed in that room - in that bed - for the past six years! She's hardly ever eaten, doesn't walk around anywhere else...she just stays in there! How much longer are you going to let her do that?!?"
"As long as it takes for her to feel any better about it."
There was a short silence, "Fine! Do whatever. Let her stay in there for the rest of her life." Farcle stormed out and away.
Fergus sighed, walked to the room and opened the door, "Knock knock."
"What do you want?" she mumbled.
"Just wanted to check on you."
"Why? I'm the same as yesterday."
"But, are you feeling any better? D'you want to come take a walk with me?"
"Because, I just don't want to, okay?!?"
Fergus closed the door and walked outside. It seemed to him that he had been walking around for hours, when he came across another woman with long, solid, shiny, black hair, and pretty brown eyes. About his height, but an inch shorter. He stopped her, "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?"
"I don't think so. But I think I might know someone who looks just like you. But, she's a girl, and not a guy."
"Do you, by any chance, know her name?"
"Umm, it started with an 'F'. Uh, Fel-Fellllllicia?"
He sighed in relief, "Yes. She's my sister." The woman smiled, "I need you to come talk to her."

Charles Mingus (22nd April 1922 – 5th January 1979) was an American jazz bassist, composer, bandleader, and occasional pianist from Los Angeles. He was also known for his activism against racial injustice.
Mingus' legacy is notable: he is ranked among the finest composers and performers in jazz, and recorded many highly regarded albums. Dozens of musicians passed through his bands and later went on to impressive careers. His songs - though melodic and distinctive - are not often recorded by later musicians, due in part to their unconventional nature. Mingus was also influential and creative as a bandleader, recruiting talented and sometimes little-known artists whom he assembled into unconventional and revealing configurations.
Nearly as well known as his ambitious music was Mingus' often fearsome temperament, which earned him the...

I put up a selection of photos of the old ore dock at Ashland, Wisconsin over at grouchyfarmer.com. The dock was scheduled to be demolished this past year. Understandable because as you can see from the photos it was in bad shape and very unsafe, but regrettable because it was a major landmark in the area.
