Thousands of birds are abandoned and mistreated every year…

… And only a few organizations across the country are in a place where they can help. We are one of those few organizations. The Hyacinth Preservation Society must raise $5,000 to keep our organization operating for the next year. Your donation will pay for food, medical expenses, toys and other expenses we incur in the upkeep of the birds that we rescue. Recently, we received an African Grey that has plucked nearly all of her feathers out.

Walking is an easy, quick way to accomplish exercise and it’s always available. It builds cardiovascular endurance, it builds muscle strength in the legs and it burns fat. And, there are a lot of people out there who could do with a little more "burned fat"...

Highway 395 closed south of Gardnerville due to flooding
Friday, August 17, 2012 - 4:32pm

U.S. 395 has been closed six miles south of Gardnerville after a thunderstorm washed parts of a hillside into the roadway. Nevada Highway Patrol said no injuries were reported, but that one vehicle ruptured an oil pan after hitting a large rock.

Update from NHP:

As of 4:20 pm, northbound traffic will be held at the Holbrook Junction (US395/SR208) and southbound traffic is being held or turned around on the south side of Gardnerville. Trooper Dan Lopez is reporting that it’s beginning to rain again in that area so a definitive time on the re-opening of the highway is questionable.
