<p>Did you know that the city of Baton Rouge is divided into parishes instead of counties? This is all thanks to the city&rsquo;s rich history. Furthermore, with the city&rsquo;s abundant share of ancient structures, traveling to Baton Rouge is almost like taking a trip down memory lane.</p>
<p>When we speak about Baton Rouge historic homes, the Magnolia Mound Plantation tops the list. This French Creole house was built in 1791 but has maintained its original plan and charm for more than 200 years. The entire house was constructed using cypress beams and flooring. For more information on this significant attraction, visit its website at <a href="http://www.magnoliamound.org">www.magnoliamound.org</a>.</p>
<p>Also noteworthy among the Baton Rouge historic homes is the Nottoway Plantation. With its location above the Mississippi River, this huge mansion shows an unorthodox blend of Greek architecture and modern designs. Done in 1859, Nottoway Plantation possesses many characteristics which were rare back then. For a more comprehensive read, check out its website at <a href="http://www.nottoway.com">www.nottoway.com</a>.</p>
<p>Known as the oldest plantation home ever recorded in the Mississippi, the Destrehan Plantation has endured both civil and colonial wars and has held on to its splendor since its establishment in 1787. For directions and business hours, access its website <a href="http://www.destrehanplantation.org">www.destrehanplantation.org</a>.</p>
<p>The San Francisco Plantation is undeniably the most unique and genuinely-restored among the Baton Rouge historic homes in terms of design and color. Constructed in 1856, this popular landmark is home to an 1830 Slave Cabin, an 1840 Schoolhouse, and a Museum Store, all situated under 3-century old Oak trees. For tour schedules, visit <a href="http://www.sanfranciscoplantation.org">www.sanfranciscoplantation.org</a>.</p>
<p>Myrtles Plantation is not only among the famous Baton Rouge historic homes, but is also known as one of the country&rsquo;s &ldquo;Most Haunted Homes&rdquo;. Built in 1796, this more than 2-century old plantation boasts of its 120-foot veranda, French furnishings, crystal chandelier, hand-painted glass, and its ghosts. To know more about it, visit <a href="http://www.myrtlesplantation.com">www.myrtlesplantation.com</a>.</p>
<p>Tours on Laura Plantation were once considered as the &ldquo;Best History Tour in US&rdquo;. Constructed in 1805, its 12 buildings include salve quarters and speak much about Creole people: lives of its children, women, and slaves. For more information, check out <a href="http://www.lauraplantation.org">www.lauraplantation.org</a>.</p>
<p>Also known as the &ldquo;Grand Dame of the Great River Road&rdquo;, the Oak Alley Plantation can be reached after passing through a quarter of a mile of giant old oak tree canopy which leads to this antebellum home. For details about tours and accommodations to the Oak Alley Plantation, be sure to visit their colorful website at: <a href="http://www.oakalleyplantation.com">www.oakalleyplantation.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are quite a few news publications in the city of Baton Rouge. Out of them, the Baton Rouge Advocate is the largest and most influential newspaper in the city. Presented in standard English in broadsheet format, the Baton Rouge Advocate delivers current and trustworthy news headlines to its readers daily.</p>
<p>Dating as far back as 1842, Baton Rouge Advocate has the Democratic Advocate as its oldest ancestor. The ancient version was a pro-Democrat, anti-Whig periodical. The Whig used to be a United States political party which existed between 1832 and 1856, was established to go against the policies of the Democratic Party, as well as the then-President Andrew Jackson.</p>
<p>The Baton Rouge Advocate underwent numerous changes, until it was finally acquired by the Charles Manship owned company, the Capital City Press, as The State Times in 1909. The paper then had its focus on the local news. However, around 1925, Manship also gave as much emphasis on the national news by publishing “Advocate” editions as companionary to The State Times. This made the Manships one of the most influential forces in the city as they maintain ownership of media outlets including the Capital City Press.</p>
<p>The State Times served Baton Rouge as an afternoon news publication for several years until October 1991, when it ceased publication. From then on, the Baton Rouge Advocate was the only remnant of the 1842 newspaper.</p>
<p>The Baton Rouge Advocate was known to hold on to editorial freedom, especially during Huey Long’s era. Currently, it remains adherent to its tradition. However, this does not stop it from taking a stand and providing political endorsements.</p>
<p>Considered as the city’s primary newspaper, the Baton Rouge Advocate is made up of the Morning Advocate from Mondays to Fridays, and its weekend editions called the Saturday Advocate and the Sunday Advocate.</p>
<p>The Baton Rouge Advocate is reported to have a circulation of about 100,000 per day, and a circulation of around 125,000 for its Sunday Advocate in the year 2004. Known as the “Independent Voice of South Louisiana”, Baton Rouge Advocate remains a true bearer of news.</p>
<p>Right now, the Baton Rouge Advocate encompasses the locally-written views, columns and articles, as well as wire service news about Louisiana and Mississippi. The Advocate offers readers extensive local, state, national news service from Monday to Friday, and as the Saturday Advocate and the Sunday Advocate on weekends as well.</p>
<p>History dictates that the great things emerged from small beginnings. But in the end, it is not really so much in what you started out with, but in what you have become and remembered for. The Baton Rouge Advocate has proven just that, and hopefully it will continue to do for as long as the good city of baton rouge persists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just possessing the money and resources to carry out a new building project isn’t enough to commence the project itself. Like all other cities, Baton Rouge building permits issued by the Department of Public Works are required for any public building projects to be carried out.</p>
<p>The same goes for renovating exsiting estates. However, not all modifications to your existing home would necessitate you to obtain a permit. The following situations have to have the Baton Rouge building permits issued according to the specific purposes: construction of a new home; extensive renovations and home additions; modification that requires structural work; covered patios; decking and roofing beyond 100-square feet; accessory structure beyond 100-square feet; solid fence three feet and above; other type of fencing four feet and above; fencing beyond 25-feet length; changing or transferring of water heater; changing an air-conditioning unit or its components (except the window type); any type of electrical work; pools; gas-line and sewer-line work; and relocating a house (mobile house).</p>
<p>The first step in obtaining the Baton Rouge building permits issued by the DPW is to have the site undergo flood zone evaluation. Flood zone assessment is done in new construction sites, as well as in additions beyond forty percent of the area of the existing structure. Step one includes accomplishing the Flood Zone Determination Zone Section A and providing a plot plan. The Inspection Division completes Section B. You are then required to pay $10 for research fee. The Engineering Division then completes Section C and forwards it to your chosen professional. The professional in turn will give you the Certificate of Elevation proposal which you will submit to the Inspection Division along with the plans.</p>
<p>After Step One has been completed, you are now ready to apply for the Baton Rouge building permits issued by the DPW Permit and Inspection Division. Step Two is the Submit for Plan Review Process. An Inspection Department staff rechecks the plot plan and elevation proposal, and accomplishes the submittal checklist.</p>
<p>Generally, reviews take three days following the Engineering Division’s review and the submission of the proposed elevation. Staffs from the Permit Department are tasked to notify the contractors or owners if the Baton Rouge building permits issued are ready. Till then, construction should only involve the lowest floor.</p>
<p>For a more details on the application process and other related concerns, be sure to visit the Baton Rouge Department of Public Work’s website at <a href="http://brgov.com">http://brgov.com</a>. They provide a comprehensive information pool that has everything you need to know about real estate projects. They’re also the ones responsible for all Baton Rouge building permits issued in the city.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our pets require as much love and care as we do. In fact, animals that are well-cared for can easily be a person’s most faithful and trustworthy companion. It has more to do than those famous movie and book plots detailing the intricate companionship between animal and man. But that goes mostly for our pets. What about animals in general? Are wild animals and other people’s pets are not so dear to heart as our own? Should we treat them with the same courtesy we give to fellow humans?</p>
<p>Of course we should. Animals are afterall, living beings created and exsiting in the same world as we do. In the great scheme of things, they’re our contemporaries, and we should therefore treat with respect and consideration.</p>
<p>You don’t have to be an animal welfare advocate to know how to properly treat animals. In fact, practically the same rules in treating other persons apply to our pets. But since not all people realize this, or are purposely ignoring this fact, concerned citizens took it upon themselves to “speak up” and take action in behalf of our animal-friends.</p>
<p>Like in some other places, Baton Rouge has felt the need for an organization that will serve to fight for the welfare of animals. Thus, the Capital Area Animal Welfare Society was conceived. Being a non-profit group, this Baton Rouge animal shelter does not get any funding from the government, but is entirely supported by donations, as well as its own fundraising activities.</p>
<p>Unpaid volunteers completely control CAAWS, and the organization’s total funds are spent on the animals. This Baton Rouge animal shelter’s biggest fundraising programs include the Krewe of Mutts, or the yearly spring dog parade, and the Santa Paws, a winter photo event.</p>
<p>Obviously, there are only two things that make the Baton Rouge animal shelter continually live up to its mission of finding homes for the animals – volunteers and money. People who feel that they can spare some of their time by taking part in activities like educating pet owners, fund raising, and adopting pets, are definitely welcome. Financial assistance is likewise appreciated. For more information regarding how you can extend support to the Baton Rouge animal shelter, log on to CAAWS website at <a href="http://www.caaws.org">www.caaws.org</a>.</p>
<p>Animal overpopulation is a huge concern. With more animals and few homes to put them in, one of Baton Rouge animal shelter’s major tasks is to conduct educational programs to make known to the public the need to stop animal overpopulation. Obtaining living homes for the animals may be as important, but if the pet population will continue to rise, this will enhance the need for foster and permanent homes.</p>
<p>Baton Rouge animal shelter, or CAAWS is committed to finding homes for every animal in the city of Baton Rouge. Its fundamental belief rests in the fact that by obtaining homes for all animals, it will reduce the burden experienced by the Animal Control and improve the overall setting of the city. But more importantly, abandoned animals will be able to find security and proper care in their new homes. So if you want to make a difference, do your share. Give more than lip service to the basic premises of proper animal treatment.</p>
