Gimme’ Shelter – Tippy here, at Providence Animal Control Center

Image
My people here describe me as Friendly, Affectionate, Gentle, and Outgoing. I’m Tippy and I came to PAC when I was injured, or rather bitten by something a lot larger than me. I had the biggest hole in my shoulder and it was a mess. Thankfully after drains and surgery, I am cleaned up now and looking for a home. I am the sweetest most easy going guy – just no dogs for me, please! I am about 7 years old!

Surely, there’s one for you and your family… About the Providence Animal Control Division The Providence Animal Control Division protects the Health and safety of our residents and...

RI Weather for December 24, 2022 – John Donnelly

Image
by John Donnelly, meteorologist A frigid day with wind chills down in the single digits. Afternoon highs reach only around 20 from morning lows in the low teens. The winds will be gusting still, blowing out of the west-northwest to 30 mph. It’ll be sunny though, so there’s that. ___ Holiday Instant Tickets make gift giving easy, stress-free and fun – all season long! John Donnelly was born in Hialeah, Florida and moved back to Rhode Island and settled in Johnston, where he grew up until graduating from Lyndon State College in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. As a child John always wanted to know how air moved, and he ran towards, not away from, thunder and lighting and various other ominous weather phenomena. He returned in 2001 to the old family neighborhood of Elmhurst where the McCabe’s, Donnelly’s, Walker’s and Callan’s have been since after the Civil War .

The #1 Worst Peanut Butter to Eat, According to a Dietitian

Image
Peanut butter is a must-have food in any Health y pantry. The spread is high in protein, rich in Health y fats, and is a good source of niacin (serving up 35% DV of the vitamin that helps with energy metabolism) and a good source of magnesium (13% DV of the muscle and nerve function-regulating nutrient). Plus, the fact that it’s an affordable ingredient makes it all the more attractive. But to get the most nutritional bang for your buck, there are some jars of peanut butter that you should avoid, and many  dietitians say that the worst type of peanut butter you can buy is reduced-fat peanut butter. Why the #1 worst peanut butter you can buy is reduced-fat. “As a dietitian, my least favorite type of peanut butter is ‘reduced fat’ versions,” says Lauren Manaker MS, RDN, LD, founder of Nutrition Now Counseling and author of Fueling Male Fertility. “Many people assume that ‘reduc...

Brown Eggs vs. White Eggs: What’s the Difference?

Image
Chicken eggs come in many colors, but there are two that we typically encounter at the grocery store: brown and white. Though brown eggs are often more expensive, the shade of an eggshell says nothing about the quality of what’s inside it. According to The Kitchn, the only difference between brown eggs and white eggs lies in the breed of the chicken that laid them. You may have heard the myth that white-feathered chickens always lay white eggs and brown chickens lay brown eggs. While it’s true that a chicken’s coloring can say something about its eggs, you shouldn’t be looking at the feathers exclusively. The color of a hen’s earlobes is actually the best indicator of what color its eggs will be. Look at the flap of skin on a chicken’s head beneath where an external ear would be: If it’s white, the chicken’s eggs will likely be white, and if it’s darker, they will likely be brown. T...
