Say good-bye to unsightly urine burn spots in your lawn with Only Natural Pet Lawn Protect Tablets!
We all love our dogs, but even the most loving dog owner is inclined to grumble a bit about those ugly yellow or brown spots in the lawn caused by urine burn. These unsightly patches result from high concentrations of nitrogen being excreted in urine, which can vary with the size and age of your dog, with older and larger dogs often causing more damage. It's easy to see why large dogs cause more damage - more urine. But what about older dogs? The key lies in how our dogs' bodies metabolize nutrients, especially protein, in their diet. Older dogs generally have less efficient metabolism, which results in more waste products being created (nitrogen and ammonia) that must be excreted in the urine. Fortunately, knowing how these lawn spots are caused has helped create a natural solution to help prevent them and let you keep your grass green and healthy, while supporting your dog's health, too.
Only Natural Pet Lawn Protect Tablets offer a natural way to prevent those annoying yellow spots on your nice green lawn. Lawn Protect is formulated with key B-complex vitamins, Biotin, dl-Methionine (an essential amino acid), and yucca schidigera extract to assist in digestion and assimilation of protein and other nutrients, which results in less concentration of waste in your dog's urine so that it doesn't burn the grass. It's proven effective (see our customers' comments below) and guaranteed to work, so this year you can have a green lawn again!
The key ingredients used in our Lawn Protect tablets and the properties for which they were selected are:

Additional Tips for A Greener Lawn
Providing a high quality diet is the best thing you can do for your pet's overall wellness. High quality natural ingredients are much easier for your pet to assimilate, which reduces the waste products created as food is digested and metabolized. Consider adding a digestive enzyme product, especially if your dog eats canned food or dry kibble, to help your pet's digestion. For more information on diet, please see our articles, What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food, and The Role of Protein in Good Nutrition, in our Holistic Healthcare Library.
Be sure your dog has access to fresh clean water at all times, and encourage them to drink more water. More water means less concentrated urine, which reduces the burning effect on the lawn.
Consider training your dog to use an out-of-the-way area of the yard. Many dogs can be trained to do this if you use a leash to take them where you want them to go, and give praise and a tasty treat when they use the correct spot. With consistent reinforcement and patience, you can help your dog learn to use a limited area of your yard.

My dog got sick after one tablet
By Natalie
from Massachusetts
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Lawn Protect Tablets:
My golden doodle has a very sensitive stomache, and after one tablet he had diarrhea for 2 days. I am not saying it is a bad product, but if your dog is sensitive, it might not be a good idea.

Does not work
By German shorthair pointer
from CT
This product does not stop lawn burning from dog pee. I've tried it for 3 months now and new spots keep appearing
(1 of 2 customers found this review helpful)
Yes...this really works
By Kim
from Chicago, IL
I was hesitant to spend this much on a product that might or might not work. Most of my internet research said that there wasn't anything one can do to eliminate yellow spots on the lawn...other than having the dogs go somewhere else!Our new male mixed breed 65 pound dog goes like a fire hydrant....and was burning huge spots in our lawn---didn't matter what time of year, how we fertilized the grass, how much water he drank, what he ate, etc. Given all the other reviews, I decided it was worth a try because I didn't want to hear my husband complaining any more! We have been delighted at how this works!!! Unbelievably, we no longer have any burned out spots in the grass. Expensive, yes, but cheaper in the long run than constantly re-seeding or re-sodding parts of the lawn.
I would not buy this product again
By Chumley
from Patchogue, NY
This product was completely ineffective in preventing brown lawn spots caused by dog urination.

Our back yard is green again!
By Write Wright
from Dearborn, MI
We began giving our 95-lb. yellow Lab two biscuits per day (one in morning, one at night) last spring. Our back yard is small and the yellow spots caused by her urine were huge. No grass was growing in them. With the biscuits, we noticed a difference right away. No new yellow grass, so my husband put grass seed where the old spots were. In September the grass has nearly filled the old bare spots. We couldn't be happier with Only Natural Lawn Protect biscuits. Plus, the dog loves them.
Didn't work for me!
By Golden Mom
from Boise, Idaho
I read the reviews prior to purchasing this product. Unfortunately it didn't work for my 1 year old Golden Retreiver. Grass spots didn't change a bit after 8 weeks using the product.
Great Product, Really Works
By Erica
from Dallas, Texas
These biscuits are awesome! Our dog's favorite bathroom spot on our beautiful lawn was turning brown and burning. In the past I tried treating the yard with products for the brown spots to no avail. When I saw these biscuits, I had to give them a try. We give them to our dog as a potty treat in the morning and she loves them--they smell good and I feel good about giving her something natural. As long as we remember to give her the biscuits, there is no problem. But, the brown spots start to reappear if we get off track and forget to give them to her for a while.
Yellow Lawn begone

Feed to dog in AM. Works all day.
Great, Effective Product
By Remy's Mom
I was a bit hesitant about this product but thought I'd give it a try. We use the tablets. Our dog has no problem taking the tablets so it must have a good taste. We're enjoying our landscaping this summer without all the urine burns in our lawn. I'll definitely be back for this product. If you're on the fence, take the leap!
Working so far
By Wordy Gerty
Our yellow lab loves the biscuits and our lawn is filling in. We couldn't ask for anything more.

Jeannette Morril and Rep Michael Michaud
January 2012 — Thanks to the hard work of several PH advocates, the following Members of Congress became official co-sponsors of the PH Research and Education Act in the new year:
The following have expressed interest in co-sponsoring and are waiting for their names to be added to the bill:
Each of these representatives took action because advocates shared their PH experience requested co-sponsorship of a bill that will improve their lives. According to Sara Mabry, the Legislative Aide to Senator Robert Casey, sometimes the easiest way to get a Member of Congress to cosponsor the PH Research and Education Act is to simply ask them to do so, "There are literally tens of thousands of bills introduced each Congress. The easiest way to figure out which ones we need to pay attention to is by looking at the mail we're getting and the requests constituents make. If someone took the time to write or visit about a bill, then that means it's important to them," says Sara.
The PH Research and Education Act is the only bill in Congress that is solely focused on improving the lives of PH patients. The bill would increase PH education and awareness for the public and medical professionals, and also encourage collaboration amongst PH researchers working to create the newest PH treatments and, one day, a cure.
Have you asked your Member of Congress to co-sponsor? Get started today! Send your Members of Congress an email urging them to cosponsor the PH Research and Education Act.
Then, contact us at 301-565-3004 x 749 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Brain darts - sending cosmic karma-like thoughts to some one when in a totally cool place, like off the coast of nicaragua swimming with turtles or watching a sunset from the grand canyon or any other meaningful place 'cause they are not there or it is a special day for them or just 'cause you love them.

Gallery: New Batman Movie May be Filmed in Transylvania's Salina Turda ...
If true, this would be an excellent choice
Originally exploited by the Romans, the Salina Turda Salt Mine's history dates back to at least the middle of the 13th century. And even as a mine, it was a fairly sustainable operation given that no mechanical devices were ever used to cut the salt clods harvested, nor were dynamites exploded. After a series of takeovers, the mine was shut down, but opened again as a tourism destination in 1992.
This is an excellent site for Nolan – not just because it's a cool set in itself that needs very little intervention – but also because it has a stable microclimate. Temperatures remain steady at between 11 and 12 degrees Celsius, though at 75-80%, humidity levels are usually pretty high. And we couldn't help but notice that the cave is in Transylvania, a cozy spot for bloodsucking vampires. With his new green cape, Batman is sure to prevail.

In fact the cave entrance is right in the city of Turda, an the city is near the highway, and the airport is some 20 miles away. So not at all that remote.It's quite a great mine, there are some other similar mines in Transylvania also.I hope they don't ruin it with the filming.
lazyreader September 8, 2011 at 2:21 pm
You still have to fly the crew and all of their equipment many miles to a remote location. Wouldn't it be better off just building a fake cave in a studio. It's just plywood and paint.

Back in home school days—maybe ninth grade—my sister and I joined a handful of other homeschooled kids from our church to meet every Tuesday and Thursday for real lessons. By real lessons, I mean we had to report to teachers, listen to actual lectures, and do work as opposed to pretend we were watching biology videos at home when really we were watching Saved by the Bell (for the record, AC Slater still has my heart).
On these communal home school days, we drove half an hour to our church, an old brick building in Flint, Michigan that struggled to hang on to its historic charm when everything around it was falling apart. Wrapped high around the sanctuary of this church was a U-shaped balcony housing a number of modest offices. The floors creaked, the carpet was worn, and the walls were cold and paint-chipped, but there was character, especially after the rooms were transformed to home school classrooms. Chalkboards, desks and a few colored posters greeted us in these rooms on Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with teachers—church members who volunteered their time to instruct subjects in which they were experienced. Several of them were licensed teachers who traded public school jobs to stay at home with their kids and offer their help with homeschooled students in our church. It worked out perfectly.
Sue was our algebra teacher—or Sister Sue as we called her because in our church everyone was a Sister or a Brother, a Deacon or a Pastor, and you respectfully referred to them as such. Home school outings sounded a lot like the hallways in Sister Act—kids running around, shouting "Sister Mary! Sister Theresa! Sister Sue!" Except no habits or cool nuns with pasts as Reno lounge singers. Sister Sue was a math whiz, an algebra genius, and teaching higher math classes came easy for her. On the first day of algebra class, we (the three kids who made up Algebra I) received our text books (A Beka for curious homeschoolers) and immediately began flipping through them, just asking to be intimidated. And we were. The middle of the book revealed quadratic function graphs, square roots, equations with too many parentheses to count—a cryptic map to the future of our class, and we were certain we'd never decipher it.
"We're never going to be able to do this," my friend complained, "this is, like, way too hard."
"What page are you looking at?" Sister Sue asked.
"Page 181," my friend answered. We each flipped through our books until everyone was on page 181. She was right, it was bad—a hot mess of x's and y's and detailed graphs that made no sense. While we moaned and protested, Sister Sue smiled and walked to the chalkboard.
"So you think that looks really hard, huh?" she asked as she picked up a piece of chalk and wrote in a small corner at the top of the board the number 181 and circled it. "We'll see about that."
We eventually forgot about page 181, the tiny chalked circle at the top of the board lost among weekly lessons. Gradually and—for the most part—painlessly, we learned to solve square roots, function graphs and equations with too many parentheses to count. And then one day, in the middle of class, Sister Sue announced, "I'd like you to look down and see what page we're on."
Behold, page 181.
We were shocked. It looked completely different now that we were there. We laughed in disbelief and chided our former selves for doubting our capabilities. Function graphs? Child's play. Square roots? Cakewalk. Here we were, on page 181, and we hadn't even realized how high we had climbed.
Sister Sue erased the number on the top corner of the board that day. And strangely, it was a little disappointing not to have a scary goal anymore.
I've remembered this story through many moments of intimidation and doubt and have repeated the words "page 181" to myself a number of times now, its significance intensified with events in my life far more important than algebra lessons. The message remains though—I'm equipped with 181 pages of confidence and experience, enough to know I've proved myself wrong. Instead of the "I'll never…" mindset, I will continue to face goals—far-off ones, challenging ones—by circling an objective on a corner of a chalkboard, showing up for class every day, turning the pages, and knowing with certainty that I will get there eventually.
Sunset on the beach last night
For all the Page 181s we face: I'll lose the weight, I'll get out of debt, I'll stop yelling at my kids so much, I'll stop caring what people think, I'll restore order to my home, I'll save the money, I'll learn to forgive, I'll stop being so critical, I'll repair that relationship…write it down, circle it, and start on page 1. Allow for sick days and extra time on some lessons. You'll get there.
I'm heading toward the holiday cave, feeling the need for more family and friends, impromptu trips to the beach for soul recharge, good food, good books and some holiday traditions...time to dock this ship and settle down. We're headed to the North Pole later this week.

I love the way you remembered the details as a 9th grader, and the post is so true. My friend recently reminded me that I had written a blog post and had written my own "page 181" (if you will). Mine was to lose 50 pounds and to run a half marathon. What was I doing writing that? I really put it out there. Well, this year I lost 50 pounds between Jan-April, and just this past Saturday I ran my first half marathon. So I guess I need a new "page 181". Something I will be reflecting on this Advent season...thank you :)

What a smart teacher and a great life lesson! Thanks for sharing. When my son was diagnosed with a congenital cataract at the ripe old age of 5 days old, I was shocked. We were told he was blind in one eye. After surgery, it would take 8 or 9 years of patching the strong eye to give him usable vision in the weak eye. That was my page 181. He is two. It hasn't been easy, but it is a part of his life and a part of who he is. We got this. He is going to be stronger because of his weak eye, and so am I. Take that page 181. ;)

Great post. I was taught to set goals early on in life. I have never met a goal I can't achieve. (Can't is a four letter word in our house) I may not achieve them in the way I first set out, but I always get there.

The Albums sounds intriguing, I registered, and can't wait to learn more. And thanks for the reminder to slow down and take things one step at a time. As a homeschooling mom of 4, this school year has been filled with many struggles, much more than any years past. And I'm finding myself constantly looking at the big goals that I've not been able to meet, rather than the many small ones that I have.

Aint it the truth, girlfriend. As Anne Lamott says, just focus on the 1 inch X 1 inch picture frame. Look through that. Start there.
I find it can be debilitating to look ahead to Page 181, as in: "I'll never get there!," or even seductively distracting, "WHEN I get there, life will be perfect."

I've been reading a long time but this is my first comment (had to happen eventually, yes?) and probably my favorite post to date. We all have page 181's, sometimes several, and it is easy to get overwhelmed and give up. This is a great reminder that if we just take it day by day and keep plugging away we WILL get there one sweet day!

Beautiful lesson, Kelle - and equally beautiful photos, as always.
I've noticed that I've begun saving your posts to read until last because you always write such calming, reflective things and to me they serve as a way of slowing down and recharging for me. You're an excellent writer, and I just adore reading your blog! - December 3, 2012 at 1:02 PM

Love this post. Such a great reminder to start off the week. I love that this stuck with you for so many years. It's crazy what we remember and what sticks out in our minds from our younger years. Beautiful sunset photos! What I would give to be able to frolic in the sand and surf right now!

What a powerful message! I remember feeling the exact same way in math class - always intimidated by what was at the back of the book. But each and every year, we always started on page 1, never page 181.
Thanks for sharing your story, Kelle! - December 3, 2012 at 2:25 PM

What a wonderful post!
This is sort of off topic, and on topic at the same time: I work for a church in Flint Michigan that still hosts a Home school co-op twice a week. What church was it that you would go too?? - December 3, 2012 at 2:29 PM

beautiful analogy. I remember that feeling of hopelessness of thumbing through the algebra text book and let me tell you i'd feel the same hopelessness now, since it's been so long! and always, getting there and being so surprised at how easily it locked into place. sure felt that with my giant EMT text book of which i read every. word.
much love kelle. - December 3, 2012 at 2:35 PM

Last night I was snuggled in bed reading your beautiful book on my ipad. My husband crawls into bed and asked what I was reading. I explained that I was reading a book written by the woman who writes my favorite blog.I continued, 'She has two beautiful little girls, her second was born with down syndrome, and she had no idea until she was born' His response was appologetic and heartbroken.
I began flipping through the book to show him some pictures.. My personal favorite of Profesor Nella. He took the ipad from me and started flipping through. His response "They are so cute! You are lying, there is no way she has down syndrome.. She is so cute.. look at those glasses! So cute!!! I wonder if our babies will have blonde hair like them"
I think I might have fallen more in love with him that night.. He was able to look past all differences and see two beautiful girls, your two beautiful girls.

I, too, was homeschooled!! However, math is not my strongest subject in life!! Never has been. Never will be!! Poor Mom. She did her best.... But none of us could understand math!! None of us!! ;-}
Oh, and by the way? I remember A Beka workbooks!! Being homeschooled was an incredible positive for me and my family. Mom taught us each individually. Plus, although I was still made fun of, the bullying would have been so much worse had I gone to "real" school. Because I am a learning disabled oddball!!;)
"Instead of the "I'll never…" mindset, I will continue to face goals—far-off ones, challenging ones—by circling an objective on a corner of a chalkboard, showing up for class every day, turning the pages, and knowing with certainty that I will get there eventually.". I needed to read those words!! ;-D

"Home school outings sounded a lot like the hallways in Sister Act—kids running around, shouting "Sister Mary! Sister Theresa! Sister Sue!"
HILARIOUS! I can vividly remember those days. I remember going strawberry picking with my mom and Lashanda one day and she kept yelling, "Sister Di" every time she talked to my mom. The man at the farm asked her, "Are you a nun?" haha I remember being embarrassed from that moment on whenever my mom was referred to as "Sister Di" :) There are definitely good, and funny memories from the ole' homeschool days :) - December 3, 2012 at 4:46 PM

THANK YOU. This is JUST what I needed to read tonight. I am 18, and though I travel a lot, I am in a really odd situation for the next four days, and I am SO HOMESICK. I just want a hug from my mama. But I will just keep telling myslef, "page 181" until I am safe in my mama's arms :)

I realize this is a long shot, but know in my heart that you will, at very least, remember this family in your prayers.
I am writing you tonight on behalf of a dear friend named Kelli Hammond. As we've followed your blog through the years, she and I have laughed over all the similarities between her life and yours, down to the sound of your names. She and her family are in crisis right now and have more needs than can even be explained without years of friendship and stories to put context to their trials.
My friendship began with her six years ago when we began as new fifth grade teachers lesson planning together before the sun was up and calling each other in the evenings often in tears over students, parents and demands. Then, we were pregnant with our daughers together, but her birth story, much like Nella's, was a trip to Holland. Her daughter, Brookelyn, was born completely unexpectedly to her twenty-five year-old mother with Down Syndrome, and has encountered many, many health challenges over the course of her short three year-old life. Recently, she has also lost all of her hair for reasons doctors still cannot explain. Kelli's husband, Joe, stays home with Brookelyn to take her to many therapies, and with a teacher's income as the bread and butter for the family, it, obviously, has not been an easy road and life is frugal to say the least, most of the time paycheck to paycheck. Joe takes on as many handyman jobs as he can in the evenings, and Kelli also works on the weekends in a bakery to help support the family.
However, the last year has brought on even more difficulties. Joe's mother lost her battle to cancer, Kelli suffered a traumatic miscarriage and, just before Thanksgiving, Joe was rushed to the ER for an emergency appendectomy that became infected and now has spent weeks in ICU. Kelli is actually expecting again (due in January) but this hope and joy has been overshadowed as she has had to pull out of her job to care for her husband and daughter. Their family is at the end of their rope physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and most obviously, financially.
I am writing you because to have their needs met would require a miracle. She and I have shared a great love for your blog for years, read your book together and often sat in tears together before or after a teaching day over your beautiful pictures and your words of hope and beauty. I especially know your videos of Nella at dance class have brought a unique joy to Kelli's life when the Dutch life was dreary and dark.
I don't know exactly what I'm asking for from you - prayers definitely, but also if you would consider sharing their story and a request for more support from your community. I know any outreach from you would mean the world to my dear friend. Here is the link to contribute financially to their needs.
Please let me know if you have any questions, if I can provide any more details or if you have any ideas of how I can help her any more. - December 3, 2012 at 6:54 PM

You really made my night! I needed to feel a connection somewhere with someone who was not family, a little bit of family "overload" here. Not only do I have a child with Down Syndrome, much older then your little one, but I went to PCC who makes A Beka Book, but also did some of there curriculum in HS. I went to a Christian school. What a small, funny world we live in!

Ooooh... you had to do A Beka? No wonder you were intimidated. A Beka math had lost me entirely by third grade. I couldn't even multiply anything outside of the 1, 2, 5, 10 and 11 tables. Finally for grade six my mom started me on Math-U-See, and my whole world suddenly opened up. I've since graduated and while I'm no math genius, I can at least manage my finances and file my dad's taxes. :-)
But I digress... anyway, great story! I kind of needed that reminder -- now to figure out how exactly to define my 'page 181.' - December 3, 2012 at 10:16 PM

Oh, this is perfect and I'm totally stealing this story! I was a mom before most of my friends, and so hit a lot of milestones WAY before them. When they say, "I'll never be ready for my kid to...(go to high school, date, drive, go to college, etc.) I always tell them they will when they get there.
This is a MUCH BETTER way of telling it.
How you got so wise when your kids are still so little, I'm not sure. Sometimes your posts remind me of someone's grandma with a lifetime of experience behind her.
Thank you! - December 4, 2012 at 1:38 PM

At about 2am the night after I read this, I was laying in bed not sleeping and worrying about something (nothing life-changing, just a medium sized worry). All of a sudden what pops in my head....page 181. It helped. Thank you for that new strategy when I'm stressed about something! You are such a joy and inspiration to me. My kids are grown, and I think I did a pretty good job, but I hope to adopt more of your attitude with my grandchildren someday. ; )

Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Apricitabine, a New NRTI, to Treat Drug-resistant HIV Infection
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Apricitabine is a new NRTI which is active against drug-resistant HIV. NRTIs are often included as part of patients' treatment, but many HIV-infected patients develop resistance to commonly used NRTIs such as lamivudine (3TC) and emtricitabine (FTC). This study will examine whether including apricitabine as part of patients' treatment is more effective than including lamivudine,when patients change treatment because of drug resistance.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
HIV Infections |
Drug: apricitabine Drug: lamivudine |
Phase 2 Phase 3 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 2b/3, Randomized, Double Blind, Dose Confirming Study of the Safety, Efficacy and Tolerability of Apricitabine Versus Lamivudine in Treatment-experienced HIV-1 Infected Patients With the M184V/I Mutation in Reverse Transcriptase |
- Proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at W24 [ Time Frame: week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Time to loss of virological response (TLOVR analysis; FDA algorithm) at W12, W24 and W48 (<50 copies/mL) [ Time Frame: week 12, 24, and 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at W48 [ Time Frame: week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 239 |
Study Start Date: | February 2008 |
Study Completion Date: | January 2010 |
Primary Completion Date: | January 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: 1
800mg BID apricitabine plus optimised background
Drug: apricitabine
800mg BID apricitabine orally for 48 weeks
Other Name: AVX754
Active Comparator: 2
150mg BID lamivudine plus optimised background
Drug: lamivudine
150mg BID lamivudine orally for 48 weeks
Other Name: 3TC
Detailed Description:
ATC has potent antiviral activity both in vitro (against wild-type HIV-1 and HIV-1 with mutations in reverse transcriptase that confer resistance to NRTIs), and in clinical studies in both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with M184V, including in the presence of additional NRTI mutations in reverse transcriptase.
The M184V mutation is most commonly present amongst patients failing regimens containing either of the two deoxycytidine analogs lamivudine and emtricitabine. Whilst lamivudine therapy is often maintained in patients harboring the M184V mutation in some settings, there are no deoxycytidine analogs currently available that effectively suppress replication of HIV-1 containing the M184V/I mutation, particularly in the presence of other additional NRTI mutations.
The purpose of this study is to extend the efficacy and safety established in study AVX-201 of ATC in patients who are HIV-1 infected and have failed treatment with lamivudine or emtricitabine and have confirmed M184V/I mutation. Patients to be enrolled will be failing their current lamivudine- or emtricitabine-containing regimen and therefore have limited remaining NRTI treatment options. This study will investigate whether it is possible to improve control of HIV-1 viral replication by including ATC within a treatment experienced patient's new optimized background regimen following ART treatment failure.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV-1 positive with M184V/I mutation in reverse transcriptase;
- 18 years of age or older;
- Currently taking lamivudine (3TC) or emtricitabine (FTC)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
- Current hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection;
- Current treatment for hepatitis C virus infection;

I have been a TM driver user for years and Titleist before that. My Pro asked me to try this Cobra and it is so solid and long I kept it. "Just TRY IT"
This is a great driver, at least for me. I started out with a Cobra steel shaft driver years ago and stopped playing. I started back last year and was my first attempt with a graphite shaft. I have bought a Titleist 907 D2, Taylormade Superfast 2.0, Taylormade RBZ, and Callaway Razr Hawk. None of these worked for me. Decided to try what I started out with in the 90's and I have my driver. Great distance, accuracy, launch, and back spin. This should cut at least 10 strokes off my game if not more.

It's hot out there! And if your Golden Retriever or long-haired kitty seems to suffer when the mercury rises, you might feel some temptation to break out your grooming tools and give your pets a full shave-down. We get where you're coming from.
But wait! Put down those clippers! According to experts, you'll be doing your pet a disservice. Here's why:
- While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
My "groomer" is a certified groomer and a certified veterinary technician. She works as a tech AND a groomer at the vet clinic.
I agree! I have a long haired Chihuahua mix and at night he's restless, pants and just seems uncomfortable, so I had him shaved short and he's completely comfortable at night now! I also had a Border Collie with a thick coat and with her old age she really struggled. I had her shaved and she acted like a puppy again!
I, also, agree. My longcoat Chihuahuas are much happier as shortcoats. As a retired dog groomer, I can tell you, most dogs love a good clip !!! We don't mean down to the skin, unless one is so matted, there's no other way. Then the owner should be charged with abuse.....I've seen some awful things, having to strip a dog that has been neglected. Some people just don't GET...."RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP " !!!!!
My long furry Border Collie/ Shepard mix started having skin problems that would become sores and infected around 6 years old. Taken her to the two different vets and treated her for two years on steroids which I started thinking and reading up on that this was not good for her if it keeps recurring. Then I was told by two different vets to have her seen by a dermo. for costly tests and see if she might be allergic to something. Not that I would not be willing to spend whatever it took to get the help she needed but I decided to experiment on shaving her and changing her diet. Guess what? She hasnt had a skin problem and she certainly has been happier. When I told my vets they recommended to continue with what I've been doing since she's doing great?
I have heard Echinacea leaves are good for that...I started researching how safe they are for dogs when my dog started eating them...my dog does not have skin problems or anything, but someone had mentioned theirs did and it helped so they made sure to keep them on hand all year around for them...
Perhaps you should have tried just changing her diet first to see if that helped before resorting to shaving her. I'm just sayin'.
You could just shave her belly down to the skin. thats what i do for my long coats. that way, they get to keep their god-made natural thermal layer of fur, but yet they can also lay on any hard surface and feel the coolness on bare skin. I also feel that shaved belly to gauge their temperature throughout the day. when hot to the touch, i send them in basement to lay on cool ground floor, after 20 mins they are good as new!! at the groomer just as for a under-belly shave and genital clean-up. thats all they really need.

Getting diagnosed with and treated for cancer in young adulthood can be very disruptive. Many young adult survivors describe feeling derailed just as they were in the process of making a life for themselves. Most peers do not understand the impact that a cancer diagnosis can have, leaving this group of individuals feeling isolated. Join fellow young adults who have finished treatment for a discussion of the unique challenges and concerns that come up for this population.

text: I see a movie in the works. When the Governor selected selected the new DA I knew it wasn't the Aryan Brotherhood. I am not sure why they didn't ask for a change of venue in the original theft case, as Williams had argued cases in Judge Chitty's court. The next question remains where will it go from here? Mid May is supposed to be the theft appeal case- but Williams's lawyer has resigned. There is enough for criminal intent beyond a reasonable doubt coupled with the confession. I hope they find a suitable venue for the trial as it would be the only thing that would hold back a true conviction.

Measuring program quality and youth outcomes
The Forum for Youth Investment produced a summary of tools for measuring program quality in 2009, Measuring Youth Program Quality. This report provided guidance on selecting an assessment tool for youth development programs, with information about several potential tools. They just released a new, similar report on measuring youth outcomes, From Soft Skills to Hard Data. Several outcomes tools are discussed, including the Developmental Assets Profile, the California Healthy Kids Survey, the San Francisco Beacons Youth Survey, and others.
Mixed methods research recommendations
The National Institutes of Health has issued new recommendations for best practices in performing mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) research. The authors comment that the use of a combination of methods helps to shed light on complex problems by providing multiple perspectives. The integration of multiple forms of data can maximize the strengths of a research project. Their recommendations are aimed primarily at NIH grant applicants, but include information that may be useful to researchers and evaluators whether they are applying for an NIH grant or not.
4-H impact in 6 western states
A new article in the Journal of Extension compares 4-H youth to other young people in six western states (MT, ID, UT, CO, NV, and NM). The comparison finds that youth in 4-H report having higher grades in school, lower levels of several risk behaviors (such as alcohol use, smoking, and sexual activity), and higher levels of positive responses to identity statements, such as "On the whole, I like myself." 4-H youth had higher levels of self-confidence and empowerment than non-4-H respondents. The report includes results by state.
Research Methods Knowledge Base
There is a new online textbook available written by the former president of the American Evaluation Association, Michael Trochim. The intent of this book is to provide students and researchers with information about research and evaluation, including measurement, sampling, analysis, and writing.
The full textbook must be purchased, but there are several subsections which are available at this link.
The planning and evaluation cycle is described here. An overview of several aspects of measurement, validity, reliability, types of measures, research design, and several other topics are available at the site.
Ten steps to making evaluation matter
The May 2011 issue of Evaluation & Program Planning includes an article on "Ten Steps to Making Evaluation Matter." The article provides a ten step framework for the steps of best practice evaluation. The framework includes a full approach of the steps needed for full evaluation. This includes garnering a basic understanding of the program, identifying the program theory (effectively a logic model approach), evaluation design and implementation, and sustainability and impact.
The "Ten Steps in a Nutshell" are located here.

Bremen locals might have a reputation as reserved north Germans rather than party animals, but every year the Bremen Freimarkt dispels that myth. More than four million people enjoy all the funfair entertainment and music, with dancing in the streets, excitement in the air and merriment in the beer tents and inns around Bremen's beautiful old quarter.
This fine tradition dates back almost 1,000 years. Ever since 1035, Bremen citizens, who were then proud seafarers and merchants, have celebrated the privilege of being allowed an independent market, a Freimarkt. In the early days it was mainly farmers, grocers and merchants who attended, but soon they were followed by artisans, musicians, travelling entertainers, fortune tellers, jesters and showmen. Today the Freimarkt is one of the biggest fairs in Germany. The 10-hectare fairground at Bürgerweide in the city centre hosts a funfair to end all funfairs. If that sounds too hectic, head for the mini Freimarkt on Bremen's market square where you'll discover an enchanting world of traditional merry-go-rounds and freshly baked cookies, roasted almonds and much more, all presented at beautifully decorated stalls. Just round the corner, between the town hall and the Church of Our Lady, the Middle Ages is brought back to life in the form of a market village from the year 1382, with merchants hawking their wares, blacksmiths and glassblowers demonstrating their craft over open flames, and singers and travelling minstrels recalling past times.
