Une association de propriétaires de chiens voit le jour | CLAUDE PLANTE | Sherbrooke Lors de l'événement tenu le 25 février dernier, on a pu composer un conseil d'administration et des dossiers prioritaires ont été mis de l'avant. Évidemment, l'association a comme revendication première la mise en place de parcs canins sur le territoire de la Ville de Sherbrooke. «Nous aurions aimé accueillir plus de monde, mais peut-être que nous sommes tombés sur un mauvais jeudi soir. Il y avait Joannie Rochette à la télé ce soir-là...», lance Réal Viens, l'un des instigateurs du projet. «Trente personnes sur 10 000 propriétaires de chien, c'est un peu décevant. Il y aura une autre assemblée à la mi-avril. La volonté de réclamer de nouveaux parcs canins à Sherbrooke demeure central, ajoute M. «Nous aimerions avoir un parc canin par arrondissement ou un pour deux arrondissements, ajoute-t-il. En 2008, un nouveau parc canin a été créé au parc du barrage Paré. L'association souhaite aussi rencontrer la direction de la SPA pour en savoir plus sur ses politiques d'intervention. Promenade

Top 10 Thinking Traps Exposed — How to Foolproof Your Mind, Part I Our minds set up many traps for us. Unless we’re aware of them, these traps can seriously hinder our ability to think rationally, leading us to bad reasoning and making stupid decisions. Features of our minds that are meant to help us may, eventually, get us into trouble. Here are the first 5 of the most harmful of these traps and how to avoid each one of them. 1. “Is the population of Turkey greater than 35 million? Lesson: Your starting point can heavily bias your thinking: initial impressions, ideas, estimates or data “anchor” subsequent thoughts. This trap is particularly dangerous as it’s deliberately used in many occasions, such as by experienced salesmen, who will show you a higher-priced item first, “anchoring” that price in your mind, for example. What can you do about it? Always view a problem from different perspectives. 2.

Pour en finir avec la punition - Le blogue de Johanne Parent Depuis quelques années, le mot punition est mal vu en éducation canine, particulièrement parmi les amoureux des chiens prônant le renforcement positif. Pourquoi le mot punition est-il si mal vu? Qu’est-ce qu’une punition? La punition est-elle nécessairement négative? Tout d’abord, faisons l’étymologie du mot punition. Sévir, condamner, châtier, sanctionner, corriger… Tous ces mots vous apportent certainement des images négatives en tête. WOW! Revenons à la punition. En déséquilibre, on se retrouve dans l’abus. Une punition peut être physique. La punition peut aussi être psychologique. Un mot (non, à terre, laisse, descend, tais-toi, chutt…) est punitif, ou du moins ce mot est dit pour aviser le chien que son comportement est inacceptable. En fait, la punition idéale dans un contexte d’éducation canine est tout simplement issue du langage corporel et verbal du propriétaire et sert uniquement à aviser le chien qu’il est sur la mauvaise voie. Une punition peut être positive ou négative.

(54) Timeline Photos - Conscious Life News How to Care for Cast Iron Cookware Penned by the effervescent Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about the wide world of Vegetarianism. Yesterday, Kris floored us with her Top 10 Kitchen Items list. So much good stuff—I use 6 of the 10 (pepper grinder, kitchen scale, food processor, bulk storage containers, tongs, and slow cooker) weekly, if not daily. My choice of skillet, however, is cast iron all the way, and if I keep treating them properly, the two I have will be my nonstick pan of choice forever and ever, amen. Growing up Southern, every kitchen I knew had a cast iron skillet for frying chicken and baking cornbread. Seasoning a Cast Iron Pan If you’re starting out with a new cast iron pan, you’ll need to “season” it. The InterWeb is rich with tips for seasoning your cast iron pan. 1) Clean the pan with a mild soap and hot water. 2) Pre-heat the oven to 350°. 3) Coat the entire pan, inside and out (Thanks, WCA!) 4) Turn the pan upside-down and place it in the oven. 7) Again, wipe off the excess oil.
