There is a new network on ning. It's for Blogging FireFoxy Googlers and you know who you are lol! You're the ones who are lost without tabs and cool extentions. You're the ones who don't understand using anything else. You may have forgotten there even is anything else!

I just took action to end the brutal slaughter of Alaska's wolves through

aerial gunning at http://www.SaveWolves.org, and I hope you'll join me.

More than 150 wolves have already been shot dead under the state's brutal

aerial gunning program so far this year. The Alaska Board of Game allows

marksmen shoot wolves from aircraft, or use low-flying airplanes to chase

the wolves, run the helpless creatures to exhaustion, then gun them down

at point-blank range once they're too tired to run any further.

So far, the Bush administration has refused to use its power to stop the

slaughter of these magnificent animals.

We must stop the slaughter of Alaska's wolves. Help me protect these

magnificent creatures by clicking the link below to send a free message to

President Bush and Interior Secretary Kempthorne urging them to enforce

the Federal Airborne Hunting Act before it's too late for Alaska's wolves.

Please go to http://www.SaveWolves.org to take action now.

Then forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join

you.

Thanks for helping to protect our precious wolves.

BlogCatalog Bloggers for Good Fundraising Challenge

Face it, our schools just simply don't have the funding that we know they need and deserve. The art and music departments are usually the ones that suffer the most. Some of our schools need computers and lack in the latest reading material.

This is our chance to propose what we feel is needed in our schools, maybe in your specific classroom. At DonorsChoose.org, there are many proposals worth donating to.

I would love to see more art and music programs, supplies and instruments available to all our children. Check out DonorsChoose.org where you get to choose what you would like to participate in, whether it be for New Orleans or America's Next top model. There are many ways to contribute: Donate, make a proposal or by Spreading the word about your specific cause. Sadly, there are no proposals from Oklahoma; You can change that. You can search their site to see existing projects/proposals or make your own.

This site is great for Parents, Educators, Supporters or organizations interested in making a difference. Donating is easy. Our schools need our help. Encourage others to become involved.


Spread the Word




There are many ways to volunteer locally. Just ask. It's that simple.
This may be a great oppurtunity to start that community project and share that talent you possess. Maybe YOU would like to donate some time as a local art/music teacher. DonorsChoose.org may be just the way to make that dream possible!







*Wow, thank you Blogger--my post just disappeared and couldn't be recovered--the only draft auto saved was the title.
Lesson to be learned would be to use notepad first lol.

____________Adoptees ISO Birthfamily_________

I'll be posting some tips on my personal blog for those in search of family separated by adoption. I've been active again in some e-groups and forums and thought I'd share some experiences with adoptees and birthfamilies in search, as well as adopted families who are supportive of possible reunion. Many adoptive parents are equally curious and eager to learn of the children's birth heritage. Closed records protect/benefit no one.

________Health and Fitness Facts_____________

I found this article and thought I would share it here.

Hallucinating, vomiting and unable to stand, but guides refused water to dying trekker



Family sues survival school after death of fit 29-year-old on wilderness course

"Dave is dead." The words came at the end of the second day of what was supposed to be a character-forming experience, a chance for 12 people to "experience the wilderness to the fullest".

Instead, the trek through the mountains and desert of Utah in the mid-western US left David Buschow, a fit 29-year-old US air force veteran and security guard from New York dehydrated and hallucinating, his eyes bulging and tongue swollen. Less than 10 hours after setting off from the group's overnight camp on the second day, Buschow collapsed and died.




**********
This really makes one think about safety and drinking plenty of water. Listen to your bodies. Exercise is supposed to improve your life, in my opinion, not end it.

It's great to push a little but learn your limits. Vital signs are pretty useful.
There are clues even without a stethoscope or pulse ox; such as: when it's 100 degrees out and you have the chills while watching the mother ship hover above, well, it may be time to rest and drink a glass of water.

Safety first.

________________Artist's Corner_____________

I've been trying, once again, after all these years I've spent studying and observing, to put together a collection of work. Over the years, I have never sold any of them. I gave them as gifts (which I like to do) and even had two portfolio's stolen(which takes me years to start again).


I've noticed there are many different support systems in place now-a-days, for the starting artist as well as the established. Tons of good forums with info!
One of the things I've learned recently is what an ACEO is. I had no clue that when I used to fill my friends wallets with my art, that is what those little pics were! An artist here on blogger has some on eBay and was not selfish with the info on what they were. For that I thank her.

If you would like to show off your work, talk about your art, or ask any questions, please comment to this post leaving a link to your site if you like.

I will then copy and paste your comment as a post on this blog--include your link and what name you provided and delete the comment.
Then others can comment and so on.

Or just simply leave a link to your favorite informative group,forum,blog or site. If it is informative I'll gladly include it.

Don't forget about the old days of

paper-mâché

Earth day (April 22nd) and I think it is one of many good projects in honor of that day. It supports recycling.

It's inexpensive and easy. Remember you don't have to make piñata you can paint it and make vases, bowls, pencil holders, centerpieces, amongst many things. The thicker you make it the stronger it is; and the longer it takes to dry. You don't need to start with balloons either. Cardboard or any paper product is great. You can even make your own picture frames with it.
I use flour, water, and Glue-all in mine. I mix it until its pretty thick. It varies. The fun part is to make it so smooth everyone thinks its clay-porcelain or glass!

Any good unique recycling ideas? Please share!
