Caffe Boa planning rabbit-based Easter menu

2010-03-29T18:23:00.001-07:00

Caffe Boa, long noted for its creative use of local, organic and fresh ingredients, will celebrate Easter with a special brunch, as well as a six-course, prix-fixe, rabbit-based dinner.

The Easter Bunny better steer clear.

Both locations - the original in Tempe, and the Caffe Boa Bistro in Mesa - will offer an a la carte brunch of rabbit loin "Canadian bacon" eggs Benedict, brioche French toast and garlic scrambled eggs with salmon and warm cream cheese, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The brunch is a la carte (with dishes ranging from about $9 to $12). Bottomless mimosas are an additional $19.95.

Caffe Boa executive chef Payton Curry, inspired by the tales of Alice in Wonderland, is preparing a six-course dinner based primarily on rabbit, which is appearing on the menus of more and more restaurants. Dinner is available from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and costs $65.

The dinners will consist of:

• Carrot soup with carrot soup with crispy rabbit confit.

• Rabbit-liver mousse crostini, fines herbes salad, quince mostarda, horseradish crème fraiche.

• Rabbit terrine with black truffle, celery root and parsnip slaw, black pepper buttermilk vinaigrette, brioche.

• Ravioli of rabbit, local beet pasta, arugula-walnut pesto, local radish slaw.

• Prosciutto-wrapped rabbit leg, white truffle omelet, braised black eyed peas.

• And, for dessert, carrot cake.

There is an alternative menu available for children. Reservations are required.

Details: Brunch, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Dinner, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. April 4. Caffe Boa, 398 S. Mill Avenue, Tempe. Caffe Boa Bistro, 2837 N. Power Road, Mesa. Brunch a la carte. Dinner, $65. 480-968-9112, cafeboa.com (Tempe); 480-981-2000, boabistro.com (Mesa).

BEWARE OF IDENTITY THEFT THIS EASTER

Happy Easter!

Orleans captures a Mia!!! and goes home too!!

2010-03-27T19:57:00.001-07:00

Our Orleans charmed Mia today. She fell in love and adopted the little fuzzrocket. ; ) He'll be going home after easter sunday (always a good impulse shopper sniffer outer). Good life, little bunny!

Here's Orleans story...who wouldn't fall for him... ; )

Hi there!!! It's me, Orleans, and I'm so excited about my first time at offsite adoptions (2/12/10) I had to tell you all about it!!! So I have a reputation with the RabbitMatch moms, you know?? I'm known as a little ruffian, just bursting with energy and passion for the active lifestyle. My condo has that tornado survivor decor, you know??? The moms were afraid I'd get booted out of Centinela Feed in the first 5 minutes!! But No Way!!! I was in my element!!! All my raisins were in the litterbox even though I was surrounded by new rabbits!!! I ignored the phermones. I was admired, petted, had laptime and demonstrated how a few rabbits love to have a chinrub!! That's me!!! Playdates?? Well......not this time.....

I persuaded the mom I needed a re-do of my mugshots. At the same time we realized that I'm going into a massive shed!! So I borrowed the mom's hat to cover the shaggy back. The hedgehog came along to do some camouflage. What do you think??? The mom suspects I'm going into a growth spurt too. I'm a dashingly handsome red dutchboy (tiny-x here please!!!) . Your Bunny Olympics wannabe, Orleans

It's Orleans, checking in for Feb.'10. I weighed 5 lbs. 9 oz today, 2/1/10 but probably need to fill in my frame a little more. I'm the most handsome, muscular, 90% dutch boy ever!!!! I love to race madly around the rabbit run, tail held high in the air. I make people laugh!!!! Then I get a short head start and LEAP over the edge of the x-pen. I'm probably a candidate for rabbit agility contests but the mom does not approve. Something about a rabbit's delicate skeleton. But I'm young and have no fear!!! We need more visitors at RabbitMatch. I'm sending a special bunny mental vibration to you!!!! Bunnykisses from Orleans.

Hi!!! It is 12-20-09 and I need to introduce myself. I'm Orleans, the new boy at RabbitMatch. I was a baby when I was sold at the Pet Store. You knew that most of the animals those places peddle are sick or will become sick shortly, didn't you??? I already had a few earmites when I was bouncing around in their window. Well, the people who bought me weren't interested in taking a $5 rabbit with ear issues to the vet so I've suffered until now that I found my way to RabbitMatch. I was instantly dosed w the good stuff that wipes out any and all icky skin parasites.

My birthdate is 1/1/09. I weigh 5.5 lbs, a lean and muscular dutch-x boy. I have a handsome cinnamon coat and the white blaze and collar. Contrasts nicely with my deep brown eyes!!!! I'm a very friendly, active, personable kind of bun. I can't wait to make friends with a loving human!!!! I'll bet you're in that category!!! email the mom NOW!!!!! pls.???? Entreatingly yours, Orleans.

Long Beach City College Rabbit Rescue!!

	Long Beach City College Rabbit Rescue Bunny Bunch is at it again. For years we have wanted to help the hundreds of rabbits that have been dumped at the Long Beach City College. One thing or another always stood in the way, but this winter we were able to come up with a plan. Because we are already overloaded with rabbits at the Burrow and in foster care we are not able to take on another few hundred. We rescue our rabbits from the high kill shelters and don't want to stop doing that, so we thought it would be best to spay and neuter all of the rabbits at the college and then release them back to living on the grounds at the college; at least that way the breeding would end. Of course we do not suggest that rabbits live outside but thought this plan was better than none. Over the last couple of months rabbits have been taken to our vets for spaying and neutering. This last week, rabbits were set up in a building on the campus so we could do health checks and get them ready for Western University’s visit to spay and neuter one hundred rabbits. We are looking for more vets to work with us on low cost spay and neuter so we can finish all the rest of the rabbits, which we are guessing to be about two hundred. People think that releasing their unwanted rabbit into a nice green field, golf course, park, or college is a nice way for a rabbit to live. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are domestic rabbits, not wild rabbits. It is illegal to abandon a rabbit at the college, or anywhere else for that matter. There is a $500 fine for anyone caught doing so. Many of the rabbits are killed by predators, run over, or even poisoned. When a domestic rabbit is put into a group of rabbits living outside they will not accept him and will fight for territory which results in bite wounds, torn ears, and other injuries. There is often disease running within groups of rabbits living outside. We have found that at least thirty percent of the rabbits show signs of syphilis. Many have fleas and mites too. We are treating the sick rabbits for all of the above. When we have caught all of the rabbits, they will be spayed or neutered and healthy before they are released. We are also looking for people to adopt these rabbits. If you are interested please go to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire, or email caroline@bunnybunch.org. Ideally we would like to get them all into homes if possible. We will have some of these rabbits for adoption at the Orange County Pet Expo in April, plus will be holding adoption events in Long Beach after Easter. Thank you to Long Beach City college for providing funding for spaying and neutering, and allowing us to come up with a plan to take care of all the rabbits. Also, for letting us use a building to house the rabbits during this program. Thank you to Best Friends for providing temporary crates for the rabbits and sending supplies. Thank you to Western University for offering low cost spay/neuter for eighty rabbits and caring for them after the surgery and to the staff who donated their time. Thank you to the local rabbit vets for proving low cost spay and neuter. And a big thank you to Donna and Jackie who work at LBCC for being there for the rabbits over the years and through this rescue. We have set up a fund to help with medical costs for the sick and injured rabbits. Donations can be sent to The Bunny Bunch LBBC Rescue, P.O. Box 2583, Chino, CA 91708. If you are interested in volunteering with this project please email caroline@bunnybunch.org

Unleashed: Easter bunnies aren't for everybody

2010-03-24T19:20:00.001-07:00

via 225batonrouge.com

With Easter only two weeks away, many parents and grandparents may consider adding something more than plastic grass, candy bunnies and Peeps to their children's Easter baskets.

Before buying beautiful live bunnies at local pet stores, families need to look beyond the baby rabbit's appeal as a cute holiday prop...

House rabbits are 100% VEGAN & GREEN companions.

2010-03-24T08:54:00.001-07:00

#vegan #vegetarian #green #shelter #rabbit #bunny #rescue

House rabbits eat 90% hay,
green veggies + a little bit of rabbit pellets 2 x per day.

They're litterbox trained (if spayed/neutered)
and quiet.

They have no animal odor, they're 99% non-allergic, have no dander
and clean themselves scrupulously.

They poop and pee on hay that makes great organic garden fertilizer.

plus you get binkies and nosebonks. check it out. ; )

I weigh 4 lbs though I swear it's mostly fur...

2010-03-22T22:26:00.001-07:00

Harrrrummppphhhh!!! Scorsese here (3-15-10), and YES, I AM smiling!!!! It's one of those little bird lip smiles we bunnies put on when we're extremely disapproving. You have no idea what I've been through. My pal Toscanini will fill you in on the details. Just look at me!!! We fuzzy buns do not show well under primitive conditions. I do hope you can see past all the schmutz which is a kind of a badge of honor on my little coat after what I've been through. I know there is a big grooming project in my future.

I was born 10-1-09. I weighed in at 4 lbs though I swear it's mostly fur. I have lionhead genes!!! I'd like to have a skirt and mohawk when I grow up but we'll have to see how those genes sort out. Right now I'm luxuriating in my charming denbox created with panache by a wonderful RabbitMatch volunteer who creates sets for The Industry. I'm feeling more cheerful already!!! I'm looking forward to your visit. !!!! arivederci for now!!!!! Your Scorsese.

Easter is such a bad time of year for rabbits. In addition to all the people buying rabbits on impulse and having no clue about the unique needs of rabbits, we have all those photo studios offering to take photos of children with live rabbits. After the Easter photo shoots are over, the rabbits are either released into the wild, sold as snake food (yes) or...

another great and timely article by Phyllis! Please forward and crosspost for the bunnies!!

Lucinda's happy...er, hoppy!!!!

2010-03-20T21:11:00.001-07:00

We got this from Lucy's mom today...this is what makes our volunteering so worthwhile! Yay us!

I was introduced to the great things that Rabbit Match does when I adopted my little bunny Lucinda (now Lucy) in Dec. of 08. (She is doing very well by the way!!! love her!!!) Anyway - would love to do some volunteering for the bunnies! Please contact me if you are in need of some help! Thank you much!

p.s. my availability varies, but i do always have a minimum of 3 hours per week, although at times the days may change - i put my best guesses down below.

and p.s.s. As much as i would LOVE to foster another bunny, I don't think my boyfriend or Lucy would fare well with it... Lucy alone is about as much as we can handle! She's pretty feisty!

This was her original write up...she truly was/is a Warrior Princess. ; )

Lucinda's December update. Well, mom put up a photo of me that better expresses my warrior princess' self. Yes, I'm in topnotch form at 6 lbs 13 oz. I have Rabbitude to spare. Maybe because I'm a redhead?? I love the company of people who understand rabbits. You're out there, I know you are....Wistfully, Lucinda.

October report from Lucinda. Well!! I never!! Lausanne was adopted to be the bunnybride of an easygoing bunnyboy. Love at first sight!! And here I thought I was the prettiest sister. (sigh). I've grown a bit. Mom wrote 5 lbs 15 oz on my weightchart. So there's a bit more of me, a red/white dutch-X girl to love!! Don't forget, I have bonding experience too!! Bunny kisses, Lucinda.

I weighed in at 4 lbs 8 ozs today. Mom says my birthdate is 2/08. My photos on the website don't do me justice. I am a stunning dutch-x redhead with a delicate white frothy pattern bib. I do want Mom to stop calling me one of the Dingbat sisters though, because I'm aiming for some class and culture here!! If I could live with Lausanne, bonding with any bunnyboy should be simplicity itself. Please come and make my lovely acquaintance. Love, Lucinda.

Hi, you'll notice Lausanne didn't say anything about me!! She's like that!! Actually we were abandoned together, stuffed into a tiny cage. What else is new?? We just couldn't work out the shared space thing so now we each have our personal RabbitMatch condo. I kind of miss cuddling with her but I guess an ultimate parting of ways is the rule for baby bunnies thrown together. Besides, she snores!! Just kidding!! As you can see, I'm the one with the sense of humor. I'm a petite red/white dutch-x girl. My brown eyes contrast nicely with my coat. Love those earth colors!! Love, Lucinda.

Anagrafe Conigli

Dopo un anno di lavori, viene finalmente alla luce l'Anagrafe Conigli in collaborazione col Ministero della Sanità. Le basi di questo progetto erano state gettate un anno fa in occasione del Convegno Nazionale sulle nuove norme per gli animalid' affezioneil sito scopo di raccogliere tutti i dati dei conigli microchippati sul territorio italiano in modo da facilitarne la rintracciabilità in caso di smarrimento e di conferire anche ai conigli lo status di animale da compagnia tutelato anche dalla macellazione.Perchè questo avvenga però è importante supportare questo progetto pilota e potrete farlo anche Voi,invitando a procedere a questa semplice ma indispensabile procedura Infatti più conigli verranno censiti più peso avrà la loro presenza e il loro diritto ad essere tutelati come animali d'affezione, esattamente come cani e gatti.

AAE iscriverà i propri conigli ed invita tutti ,amici, soci, simpatizzanti e le altre associazioni a fare altrettanto perchè dall'unione nasce la forza e ognuno di noi, iscrivendo il suo coniglietto- microchippato o no-può dare un contributo concreto al riconoscimento del coniglio come animale da compagnia. e dopo mesi di duro lavoro è nato

Q: How do you know when you need to do some serious house cleaning?
A: When your bunny has his own dust bunnies!
I just had to laugh at Sirius Lee Cute yesterday morning, he was doing his normal morning inspection, he disappeared under Joshua’s bed (all polished floors remember) and he emerged out of the other side with two large fluffy dust bunnies attached to him, one on each side of his whiskers, he was hopping about none the wiser, but was looking at my strangely and I think, wondering why I was laughing at him! :0) They didn’t fall off on their own either, I had to pluck them off, LOL! Each one was as big as his head, he really looked so funny, didn't have the heart to leave them on and get the camera, I thought it kinder to get them off him, but today I wished I had got the camera :0) Boy I really needed to smile!

I told you everything I knew about them (I have learned a lot more since) and told you there’d always be room here for cat stories. Well now, I have made some new friends, one Ms. Bunny Jean Cook and one very nice lady Ms. Alinda from www.rabbitmatch.org, who have ever so politely pointed out that dogs and cats are not the only animals in need of new adoptive families. Did you know BUNNIES need rescuing too? Guess what else is going on with all this bunny business? It’s rabbit season! No, silly not to hunt them, but to buy them. Or, like in a lot of cases around Easter, to “impulse buy’ them or give them as gifts...

Them Kiwis do know how to make a point, don't ya think???!!

The Irish word for rabbit is coinín...

2010-03-16T17:02:00.001-07:00

Rabbits are not native to Ireland; they were introduced into Ireland as a food source in the 12th century by the Normans (the Scandinavians formerly known as Vikings). In Norman times a warren was a fenced enclosure where the rabbits were kept; the first recorded warren was on Lambay Island, off of the northern coast of Ireland in 1191...

DEAR LORD,

So far today I've done alright,

I haven't lost my temper,

haven't been greedy, grumpy,

nasty, selfish or overindulgent.

I'm very thankful for that, but

in a few minutes, Lord, I'm

going to get out of bed, and from

then on I'm going to need lots

of help!

AMEN.

fascinating blog post on octopi...

2010-03-15T15:57:00.001-07:00

Why I can't eat polvo

oregon expat | 15 March 2010 at 8:53 pm | Categories: science | URL: http://wp.me/pLzaa-8C

The Portuguese love polvo. Polvo rice, polvo salad, polvo casserole, breaded and fried polvo...the methods of cooking and presentation seem endless.

I can't eat it. And believe me, I've eaten everything else that's been put in front of me since moving to Portugal, including fresh pig's brains fried up with egg and bread. (Which was really good, by the way.)

Polvo means octopus. And after working for several years in a public aquarium that included octopodes in its collection, I have too much respect for the intelligence of these animals to eat them. It would be like eating a cat.

photo by Ryan Wick

Octopodes are notoriously hard to keep in captivity. They are extraordinary escape artists. You probably would be too, if you had eight arms covered with handy suction cups -- and perfect control over each individual cup -- and a soft body that could fit through tiny openings. The only hard part of an octopus is the beak located at the center of its arms. If the beak can fit through an opening, the rest of the body can follow. (For a perfect illustration of this talent, check out this short video.)

Most aquarium staff have learned the hard way that if they want their octopus to stay put, they need to either 1) put an airtight lid on the tank and weigh it down with a rock, 2) glue astroturf all around the edges and upper walls of the tank, which prevents the suction cups from getting a good seal, or 3) a combination of both. (Number 3 is always best.)

Good aquarists understand that keeping their octopus from doing a runner is not enough. These creatures are so intelligent that they get bored in captivity, and a bored octopus will either destroy anything breakable in its exhibit, or display neurotic behaviors (much like a bored lion in a zoo will pace back and forth, back and forth). Often, aquarists will offer toys, or put food inside plastic "puzzles" that make it a challenge for the octopus to get the food out. Anything to keep it busy and occupied!

The aquarists at a German public aquarium apparently didn't keep their octopus busy enough. A 2008 Telegraph article details their travails when Otto the octopus took it upon himself to short out the entire power supply of the facility:

The short-circuit had baffled electricians as well as staff at the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, who decided to take shifts sleeping on the floor to find out what caused the mysterious blackouts.

A spokesman said: "It was a serious matter because it shorted the electricity supply to the whole aquarium that threatened the lives of the other animals when water pumps ceased to work. It was on the third night that we found out that the octopus Otto was responsible for the chaos."

How did Otto accomplish this feat?

"We knew that he was bored as the aquarium is closed for winter, and at two feet, seven inches Otto had discovered he was big enough to swing onto the edge of his tank and shoot out the 2000 Watt spot light above him with a carefully directed jet of water."

Director Elfriede Kummer who witnessed the act said: "We've put the light a bit higher now so he shouldn't be able to reach it. But Otto is constantly craving for attention and always comes up with new stunts so we have realised we will have to keep a more careful eye on him - and also perhaps give him a few more toys to play with."

Director Kummer is a smart person. Perhaps almost as smart as Otto.

So you can see why I have issues with the Portuguese love of polvo. I don't care if they taste like strawberries dipped in chocolate (which they most certainly do not), I just can't eat a creature that is so intelligent and so amazingly gifted.

Besides -- how can anyone look at this photo and think of cooking something that cute?

...the color of my feet!!!!!

2010-03-14T20:19:00.001-07:00

Oh Hi there!!!! I'm Lyubochka ('darling' in Rrrrrrrussian). Just dropped off at RabbitMatch (SB). I know you've heard the "landlord said no pets" story. Well, just listen to mine!!! The lady of the house thought she could sneak ME in without the HUSBAND noticing. Well, there was domestic strife and now I'm here (sigh). The old place really wasn't up to code as you'll see by the color of my feet!!!!!

I was born 12/1/09. I'm just a baby!!! I'm a little dutch cross gurrrrl, gray and white. My eyes are a sparkling blue color. Flutter, flutter. I weigh 2 lbs 1 oz and definitely plan to grow a bit. Hope you'll stop by to visit soon, Prettily yours, Lyubochka.

PS My spay is scheduled for 3/31. I need to gain some weight first. Didn't get much to eat there at the end...Send bunny vibes, pleeeez.

Is your home right for a rabbit?

2010-03-13T20:56:00.001-08:00

Is your home right for a rabbit?

DO YOU HAVE animals that could scare, wound or kill a rabbit? (Many dogs were bred to capture small animals.) Rabbits can die of fright!

DO YOU HAVE the time and energy for a rabbit? They’re high maintenance companions. Every day, twice a day they need green veggies, pellets, water, and hay. Their litterbox needs cleaning every two days. Rabbits are social and need human or rabbit company and plenty of space to run around.

ARE YOU PREPARED for a rabbit who lives 10+ years? What will happen to your rabbit when you move, get married, have kids? What if your kids lose interest? Your rabbit cannot survive without you.

DOES EVERYONE in your family want a rabbit? Does anyone have asthma, allergies or hay fever? People are rarely allergic to rabbits but may be allergic to the hay they eat.

CAN YOU AFFORD the supplies and medical care your bunny needs? Rabbits can cost $50-$100 per month for supplies alone. Vet care for rabbits is more expensive than dogs and cats. Spaying and neutering a rabbit costs more too (unless you adopt from a reputable rescue).

IF YOU RENT your home, does your landlord allow rabbits? Will you move if you have to?

DO YOU HAVE enough room for a rabbit? You’ll need space at least 4x4 ft (minimum) or a room for your rabbit. Rabbits need exercise and social interaction to be happy and healthy.

IS YOUR HOME bunny-proofed with electrical and computer cords covered or placed out of reach? Have houseplants and dangerous chemicals been moved to a safe place? Anything in your rabbit’s room may be chewed by your bun!

WILL YOU BE available to supervise children when they’re around the rabbit? Rabbits are easily injured when picked up by someone who doesn’t know how. Rabbits can bite and scratch when frightened.

BEFORE YOU ADOPT, have all your supplies in place.

WHEN YOU ADOPT, ask questions! We’re happy to help!

Adapted from House Rabbit Society (www.rabbit.org) materials

House rabbits are 100% VEGAN & GREEN companions.

2010-03-13T20:49:00.001-08:00

House rabbits eat 90% hay,
green veggies + little bit of rabbit pellets 2 x per day.

They're litterbox trained (if spayed/neutered)
and quiet.

They have no animal odor, they're 99% non-allergic, have no dander
and clean themselves scrupulously.

They poop and pee on hay that makes great organic garden fertilizer.

plus you get binkies and nosebonks. check it out. ; )

A Sweet Idea: Think Chocolate Rabbits This Easter

2010-03-09T13:27:00.001-08:00

istock.com

Just like cats and dogs, there are
thousands of homeless rabbits across
the country.

By Adam Goldfarb

Easter: a holiday filled with plastic-wrapped, chocolate-coated goodness. Add to that adorable baby rabbits mascots, and nothing could be sweeter, right?

It turns out, Easter isn't such a treat for rabbits who are given as gifts or for the animal shelters and rabbit rescue groups tasked with helping them once the Easter glow wears off...more at the link below...

Gross, yet true - Rabbits cannot vomit.

2010-03-08T16:00:00.001-08:00

Sick as a Bunny. Gross, yet true - Rabbits cannot vomit.

Can you imagine not being able to have that ability? Yeah, I know this is a pretty disgusting thing to imagine. You don't need to imagine it in a graphic manner, but seriously, think about it.

This just reminds me how important it is to feed your rabbit fresh hay and veggies. Because unlike us, they can't just puke it up if it upsets their tummy.

Hi, I'm cute!...new bunnyboy for adoption!

2010-03-08T11:10:00.001-08:00

Hello All!! It is Mar. 6, 2010 and I'm the new bunnykid at RabbitMatch. I'm a cinnamon-x bunnyboy. I'm still a baby, birthdate 11/1/09. I weigh 3 lbs but I plan to do lots more growing!!! So here's my story. I was taken away from my mom when I was really tiny. Sold in the park for $5. In a few weeks in my new home I was beginning to think I was living an H.P.Lovecraft horror story. My plastic container seemed to be shrinking until I couldn't even turn around. The kids became bored with me as soon as the mom started yelling about cleaning that container. They'd put me on a high table so I couldn't hop away. When they put me in the back yard, I made a bunny break for it and luckily I ended up here at RabbitMatch.

The other rabbits, being really wise, explained to me that I was growing all the time. Little rabbits do that. Grow up really fast. It's nature!!! Humans often don't bother to think that far ahead and that's why we need RabbitMatch AND more research on brain transplants!!!!! Sheesh!!!!! SO the other rabbits tease me a little bit and call me Mr. Prunetail!!!! Yes!! My liddle tail looks just like a prune from being jammed against my body and much of me being soaking wet all the time.

You can make it all better for me!!! I'm smelling clean and fresh already!!! e-mail the mom and come visit. Maybe you too share a love of light opera??? With a tra-la-HONK!!! Your little Gildenstern.

A Sweet Idea: Think Chocolate Rabbits This Easter

2010-03-06T18:11:00.001-08:00

istock.com

Just like cats and dogs, there are
thousands of homeless rabbits across
the country.

By Adam Goldfarb

Easter: a holiday filled with plastic-wrapped, chocolate-coated goodness. Add to that adorable baby rabbits mascots, and nothing could be sweeter, right?

It turns out, Easter isn't such a treat for rabbits who are given as gifts or for the animal shelters and rabbit rescue groups tasked with helping them once the Easter glow wears off...more at the link below...

How can people be this clever?????

Clever Made-Up Words: Results of a Washington Post contest from a few years ago that asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Thanks to Miralee for the link. The winners:

4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation a bout yourself for the purpose of getting lucky
7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.
12. Karmageddon: It’s when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and then the Earth explodes, and it’s a serious bummer.
13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
14. Glibido: All talk and no action.
15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Good News! 3 baby steps forward for animals!

2010-03-04T15:35:00.001-08:00

Starting in fall 2010, The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Michigan State University (MSU) will no longer require terminal surgery labs to teach veterinary students. Terminal surgery labs use healthy animals, particularly dogs, to practice surgical skills, after which the animals are killed.
Ending terminal surgery labs and replacing them with more humane teaching methods allows MSU to join the majority of the 28 other veterinary medical schools in the U.S. that no longer include terminal surgeries in their required curriculum. Instead of the controversial labs, MSU’s CVM will use sophisticated models, animal cadavers, and an increased number of spay and neuter operations which benefit animals at shelters.

Victory! Canadian School Board Approves Student Choice Policy
Animalearn thanks its Canadian supporters who recently contacted the Burnaby, British Columbia school board. In a 3-2 vote on February 23, 2010, the board agreed to create a formal policy giving students the right to say "no" to dissection. Congratulations to Vancouver, B.C. resident and humane education advocate Lesley Fox, for all her hard work to help students and animals.

Russian University Ends Animal Labs
This month, Perm State Pharmaceutical Academy in Russia declared an end to all animal laboratories at the school. The institution signed a formal agreement with the International Network for Humane Education (InterNICHE) to implement alternatives to animal labs. InterNICHE will be providing the school with humane alternatives. It is the tenth such contract the group has made with an institute of higher education in Russia.

Boy toy seeks hot mama!!

2010-03-04T10:50:00.001-08:00

Hello Los Angeles!!!! An important message from ME, McPlush, all 3 lbs of me!!!! It is March 1,'10. Good news and bad news. First of all, the mom assembled a team of veterinarians to evaluate surgery on my badly scarred ear. Board certified, top anesthesiologist, the best....... I felt like a head of state!!!!! Anyway, after an exhausting examination, my team concluded that having my ear surgically corrected would be fraught with dangers. First of all, I would need extensive CAT scans, ultrasound and other tests$$$$. Then, during this kind of surgery there is the threat of extensive bleeding. Sometimes there is permanent damage to the facial nerve (VII). I think I'd rather have a bum ear than have one side of my face droop. Don't you agree????

So right now I'm on a long course of Baytril as a preventive measure. Sure feels good to be itch free. My ear canal isn't shedding much debris either!!!!!

So I continue to be the cutest, friendliest, most cuddly and kissy bunnyboy in Los Angeles. Mom says I'm still available for adoption but YOU have to be medically sophisticated and willing to pay close and ongoing attention to my health. Right now I do wish the mom had lots more time to spend with me. I'm having fun though. I get to do play dates with the ravishing Rhonda Rabbit but she weighs 8 lbs and swears she'll never fall in love with a shorter dude. I keep on trying when she is in my room. In her room it is iffy.......and I'm afraid I might get squashed!!!!!!! Anyway, I'm available for bonding. Right now I'm really tired and ready for my nappiezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(snort)zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

The best time to do anything...go figure!

2010-02-28T20:50:00.001-08:00

Best time to have surgery: Morning (4x less likely to have complications in the morning than between 3-4PM)

Best time to get a human being on the phone when calling a company's customer service line: As early as possible (lowest call volume)

Best day of the week to eat dinner out: Tuesday (freshest food, no crowds)

Best day to fly: Saturday (fewer flights means fewer delays, shorter lines, less stress)

Best time to fly: Noon (varies but pilots say airport rush hours coincide with workday rush hours)

Best time to exercise: 6-8PM (body temp highest, peak time for strength and flexibility)

Best time to have sex: 10PM-1AM (skin sensitivity is highest in late evening)

All are from Mark Di Vincenzo's Buy Ketchup in May and Fly at Noon: A Guide to the Best Time to Buy This, Do That and Go There."

fur real...factoid

2010-02-28T16:33:00.001-08:00

Here’s a little something you may not have known about federal labeling laws regarding furs: a loophole in these laws allows manufacturers to omit the fur labeling in certain garments. If the fur is valued at less $150, there doesn’t have to be any mention on the label that there is animal fur on the item. Another example of pointless legislation duping consumers and showing deference to manufacturing lobbyists for the sake of campaign dollars. (Oops, I said that out loud, didn’t I?).

To determine if the article you are purchasing is real or not, push the hairs apart and check the base of the fabric. If you see skin (ewww) then it’s real fur. Fake fur will have fabric at the base. Find out more about this at Your Daily Vegan.

House rabbits are 100% VEGAN & GREEN companions.

2010-02-28T14:19:00.001-08:00

House rabbits eat 90% hay,
green veggies + little bit of rabbit pellets 2 x per day.

They're litterbox trained (if spayed/neutered)
and quiet.

They have no animal odor, they're 99% non-allergic, have no dander
and clean themselves scrupulously.

They poop and pee on hay that makes great organic garden fertilizer.

plus you get binkies and nosebonks. check it out. ; )
