Watch Ian Somerhalder at the Environmental Media Awards Tonight
As one of the most dedicated celebrities to environmental causes, it's only right that Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) should be honored for his contributions by the Environmental Media Awards. The event takes place tonight, September 29, at 7 p.m. (the "green" carpet starts at 6 p.m.), and you can watch a live stream over at the Environmental Media Association's website.
Ian is being heralded for his work with the EMA Futures Award. Jessica Alba will also be in attendance to accept her EMA Green Parent Award. (Jessica was inspired to create The Honest Company, a line of eco-friendly baby products, when she caught her daughter snacking on a diaper.)
According to their site, "The annual EMA Awards is the only program singularly devoted to celebrating the entertainment industry's creative environmental efforts. The EMA Awards honor productions, film and television personalities, corporations, musicians and musical tours that convey environmental messages in the most creative and influential ways."
Ian shared his excitement about the award, tweeting, "Proud to be honored alongside @jessicaalba, Elon Musk & Kelly Meyer at the Environmental Media Awards (#2012EMA )."
Congrats, Ian! We'll be sure to tune in!

Yet another way to show your love for web content
If you're anything like us, you're probably concerned that there just aren't enough ways to show appreciation for web content. Good news, then: Google has launched a competitor to Facebook's 'Like' button, by the name of '+1'.
+1 will mainly benefit search results, in a system Google is comparing to receiving recommendations from friends and family. Essentially, the idea is that you and your contacts all begin clicking the +1 button (that'll soon adorn most web pages) when you like whatever content you're reading. Assuming it takes off, everyone's Google search results will then be annotated with +1s by their friends, letting you know that they recommend the content.
You'll need a Google public profile to sign up and start using the +1 system. Still a bit perplexed? Check out the video below for Google's no-nonsense explanation. Let us know your thoughts on the +1 system via the T3 Twitter feed…

Full detailed profile on Grady Foley Played by Kane Manera on Guiding Light Daytime Soap Opera.
Kane Manera
Birthday: September 20 1973
Daisy tracks down Dinah to talk about Grady. She tells her that she knows all about them; Ashlee filled her in. When it becomes clear that she just thinks they are sleeping together, Dinah says that Ashlee is exaggerating. Daisy asks her what she hired him to do. Dinah claims that she hired him to build shelves. Daisy knows this is a lie. "Grady is not a bad person. He has bad instincts," Daisy explains, begging her not to take advantage of him. Dinah says that Grady's problems are his own making and walks away. Daisy sits down and waits. Grady hobbles by and throws some things in the trash. He tells her he just finished a job that was a lot harder than he thought it would be. As he tries to walk away, she follows. He reminds her that this isn't a good time. She tells him that she needs him. He's confused. Daisy explains that a friend of hers is in trouble and he may be the only person who can help. He quickly realizes they're talking about Rafe. She notices that he is in trouble too and wants to help him.
Dinah and Grady get out of the van. She suggests they wipe it clean and then sink it. He's worried that she was talking to Lizzie. She tells him that this was all a big mistake and suggests that he find an alibi. "I don't need this anymore," she says, walking away.
In the garage, the bound Lizzie shouts at the phone to Bill. He tells her to stay on the line until he can track her down. He keeps her talking while he walks to the police station. She doesn't know how many people have been involved in this and describes the van she was in and where she is now. She heard him on the radio. "I can't wait until we're driving each other crazy again," she says. He promises that she'll soon be sick of him. Grady hobbles back in and stomps on the phone.
At the garage, Lizzie begs Grady to let her see his face so she won't have to spend the rest of her life wondering if every man she sees is him. "That's not how it was supposed to be," he says. She doesn't think he knows how it was supposed to be. "This is how it has to end," he says, taking out a chainsaw.
Bill makes his way to the garage. Grady walks out. Bill attacks him and beats him into the ground. He walks inside, shouting for Lizzie. When he searches, she's nowhere to be found. Suddenly, she climbs out of hiding and runs into his arms.
Dinah looks in the back of the van to check on Lizzie. She begins berating Grady for the entire mess they're in. They take shots at each other and neither feels any trust. A text message comes in for Dinah. "This is not good," she grimaces. They walk into the woods. She promises to put the Feds off their tracks. They bicker more. He threatens to reveal her role in this to the FBI. She reminds him that they are in this together. She will make sure that he gets his money and Lizzie goes home safe.
In the van, Lizzie struggles with a screwdriver without luck. Grady returns and takes her to a garage and ties her up. She asks him why he came back for her when he didn't have to. She points out that he'll never get the money. He claims the money is the only reason he came back. She begs him for a turkey wrap with light balsamic vinaigrette dressing and avocado. He tells her to dream on. Soon, he limps back with the food while she badgers him. He unties her hands so she can eat. After pulling on his mask, he tells her that she can take her blindfold off. She eats and explains that she came back for him because she thought it was the right thing to do. She regrets it now and suggests that she must have had 'that Stockholm thing'. She rants about what he's done to her. "How can you understand what it's like to be nobody?" he shouts back at her. She claims that she feels a connection to him; it feels like he cares about her. He accuses her of playing him. She just wants to go home and asks him who loves him and worries about him. She suggests that there is still hope for him. He tells her to stop 'talking crap' and limps up to tie her hands and blindfold her again. "I'm getting my money and then I'm done," he says before limping off.
Grady limps up to Dinah. He's not happy that she doesn't have his money. He had to get away from Lizzie; she won't shut up. She tells him to have a nap in the van while she checks on Lizzie. He warns her not to get too close. Dinah walks over to Lizzie. She silently approaches while Lizzie talks. She leaves a phone a few feet from her, leaves it on speaker and has it dial Bill. Dinah walks out and tells Grady to leave with her. She finds the screwdriver and worries what Lizzie might have done. Meanwhile, inside, Bill picks up his phone. Lizzie can hear his voice and calls to him.
Lizzie demands that Grady take off his mask and reveal his identity before she will help him out of the hole. She taunts him and threatens to leave him there to die. When she walks off, he grunts and throws his mask at her. She promptly ties the rope to a tree so he can climb up. As he climbs, he hides his face in his hood. Before he can get close enough for her to see, Cyrus sticks a bag over her head. He ties her up and puts her in the van. "So little brother...what's new?" he asks as he returns to Grady and begins berating him about his stupidity. He grabs his brother by the throat and tells him that he is getting nothing out of this. Cyrus warns him that Dinah only looks out for one person and that's herself. He throws his brother down and tells him this is over and he has to get rid of Lizzie now. The brothers bicker. Cyrus reminds him that the only reason Lizzie didn't run is because she wanted to see his face so she could rat him out to the police. He repeats that he has to get rid of her right now – not kill her, just get rid of her and the evidence. Cyrus offers to take care of it. "How am I supposed to get better at this if you won't let me try?" Grady whines. Cyrus is unconvinced. His brother is insistent. Cyrus makes him promise to call if he needs help. Grady stumbles off.
Bill goes live on air to explain that Lizzie has been kidnapped for more than a week. He says that he will stop at nothing to get her home and urges the kidnappers to trust him. He says that she is more than just his business partner, she is loved by many. Soon, Bill loses his temper and begins to rant and threaten. Dinah steps in and tells him to stay calm. She promises the kidnapper that it can all work out fine if they contact her. Meanwhile, Lizzie has been listening to this entire transmission on the car radio. Grady arrives at the end to hear Dinah's plea. He offers Lizzie some water. She slaps it away and rants at him. He gags her and limps out.

Hilda Hutchinson Jefferson, a former Charleston city councilwoman and community activist, died Sunday at the age of 93.
Jefferson had served on council from 1975-98, a career spanning some 23 years. She became a highly visible community leader afterward.
Jefferson previously was selected as S.C. Home Economics Teacher of the Year.
"She was a stern person, but she was a person dedicated to the city of Charleston," said current Councilman Robert Mitchell, who followed her in representing the city's District 4 seat.
Jefferson was a retired schoolteacher. She was also a staple at the city Christmas party, Mitchell said, and worked tirelessly to help children.
Mayor Joe Riley said the community has "lost a most wonderful public servant and an extraordinarily kind, civic-minded person."
He praised her service on council where she served as mayor pro tem, and afterward, calling her "one of the most generous people I've ever known."
Jefferson is credited with creating the annual Christmas party for city employees and their families, working on the effort year-round and personally soliciting donations for gifts for the children.
"Usually at the party, there would be 40 to 50 bicycles that would be given away, many other presents for the children and a wonderful meal to share with the city family," Riley said. "Many children of employees of our fine Environmental Services Division and other departments had a special Christmas because of Mrs. Jefferson."
Riley said the Christmas party will continue in her honor.
Charleston Democrats honored her in 2010 at the Blue Jamboree as an inaugural recipient of the Marjorie Amos-Frazier Pacesetter Award for lasting civic and humanitarian contributions.
Brady Quirk-Garvan, chairman of the county Democratic Party, said in a statement: "We mourn the loss of this great leader in Charleston. We know that her spirit will live on in all of us as we fight for justice as Hilda Jefferson did all of her life."

Vampire Diaries Quiz: Did Elena Say It to Damon or Stefan?
Do you know how hard it is being in love with two supernaturally hot guys? Vampire Diaries' Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) does! Though she started out dating Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), she's always had a bit of a flirtation with his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder). If you take the quotes out of context, it can be hard to remember which Salvatore Elena was talking to — especially now that Stefan's gone Ripper and she's kissed Damon. Take this quiz and test your knowledge of Stelena and Delena moments.
That was hard!
Nailed it!

Excerpts are circulating of the president's speech. The lawmakers are assembling. (Which incumbents want to rush to the aisle to shake the president's hand, knowing that image wind up in some challenger's campaign ad?) But this report sort of sums up where we are:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's guest list includes the expected array of family, political friends and a few union chiefs, including Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO and Anna Burger of SEIU. But interestingly, Pelosi's guest list includes the last sitting speaker to lose election: former Rep. Tom Foley.
Nothing like having those special, special-interest folks with you when the president decries corruption and lobbyists. As for Foley, I'm sure he's telling Pelosi she has nothing to fear so long as the president doesn't double down on healthcare, insist her members vote on repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and attack the Supreme Court for defending the First Amendment. Oh, wait.
UPDATE: A reader sends this along: "Foley worked as a lobbyist for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld after serving as U.S. ambassador to Japan, representing clients such as AT&T, Walt Disney Co., CSX Corp. and the State University of New York. Jim Wright, a Texas Democrat who was speaker from 1987 to 1989, was a consultant for Arch Petroleum Co., although it is unclear if he was ever a registered lobbyist, said the Office of the Historian of the House." Great image, Nancy.

Housing and Urban Development:
Comments on HUD's Fiscal Year 2002 Budget Request
GAO-01-663T: Published: Apr 25, 2001. Publicly Released: Apr 25, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6878
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) fiscal year 2002 budget request. Because HUD's 2002 budget request was released only two weeks before this testimony, GAO could only offer a general discussion of the budget's policy policy implications and program trade-offs. GAO found that, in recent years, HUD has had significant unexpended balances, making it difficult for Congress to assess the Department's need for new appropriations. Without accurate and timely information on the nature, the amount, and the availability of HUD's unexpended balances, decision-makers cannot fully and fairly evaluate HUD's funding needs. HUD has begun several short-term efforts to identify, quantify, and recapture some unexpended balances and has, in fact, recaptured about $3 billion each year between fiscal years 1998 and 2000. In spite of these efforts, HUD has not yet integrated the processes needed to routinely and accurately account for unexpended balances into its ongoing financial, program, and budget management. As a result, HUD lacks the information it needs to (1) determine with certainty how much of the unexpended balances should be recaptured and (2) clearly factor these funds into its budget requests.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to this recommendation, HUD said that it already had sufficient systems to identify unexpended balances and that spending scarce resources on new systems was not needed. However, HUD did agree that the quality of the data in its systems needed improvement. GAO's position on HUD's response was that HUD did not necessarily require new systems to quantify unexpended balances but that it needed to better utilize its existing systems and take steps to ensure the quality of the data in them. Since then, HUD has taken significant action on both fronts, which has enabled it to incorporate information on unexpended balances into the management and operation of programs and to take unexpended balances into account in setting forth budget needs. For example, HUD has undertaken initiatives to improve the accuracy and timeliness of the information in numerous program databases. Additionally, at monthly management meetings, HUD's Assistant Secretaries now receive unexpended balance reports to facilitate monitoring of fund utilization rates and spendout delays in the programs within their jurisdiction. HUD has also set fund utilization time limits by moving from no-year to multi-year funding for several programs that historically have had large unexpended balances. Furthermore, HUD now reconciles Section 8 program reserve and contract term data to help identify funds for recapture. Finally, HUD in recent years has consistently recaptured unutilized funds to offset its budget requests in the Certificate Fund, which accounts for over half of its annual budget. Overall, HUD's unexpended funds balance (adjusted for reserves) declined from $137.9 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $101 billion in fiscal year 2002, and is estimated to drop to $86.6 billion in fiscal year 2004.
Recommendation: In order for HUD to fully account for unexpended balances in its funding requests, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development should (1) develop systems that routinely provide timely, reliable information on the status of unexpended funds for the purpose of quantifying the amount available for recapture or recission, (2) routinely incorporate this information into the management and operation of programs, and (3) consistently use this information in formulating its budget request, clearly demonstrating how it is taking these balances into account when setting forth its budget needs.

In Access 2010 Power Shortcuts, Access expert Alicia Katz Pollock shares hundreds of tips and shortcuts to vastly increase efficiency and get the full power out of Access 2010. The course includes tips for working with the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar, managing files, customizing and automating Access, rapid data entry and editing, working with tables, queries, forms, and reports, managing your database, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
Your database is only as good as the data that's entered into it, and unfortunately we are all human, and we do make mistakes. If you've designed your table structure well, you can eliminate a lot of incorrect data, but not everything. It's almost inevitable that you'll eventually find some records entered more than once, with just a few discrepancies between the fields. Access has a find duplicates query that will allow you to compare records and identify potential repeats. Let's say it's the end of the year and it's time to clean up my data. I can run this query in my Customers table to make sure that no one created two accounts for the same entity.
I'll go to the Create ribbon and then click on the Query Wizard. Click on the Find Duplicates Query Wizard and click OK. We are going to base our query on the Customers table, so click Next. Now we have to select the fields. This is the tricky part. If you pick one that's likely to have variations like the Address Field you're less likely to find identical records, and if you picked too many fields just one discrepancy will eliminate erroneous record from the query results.
So think carefully about your data and which fields would be likely to be the same and which would help you identify duplications. For example, I want to choose City I'll move it over to the right-hand side. Since duplicates will likely be in the same town, and it's less likely to have typos. I'll also choose the WorkPhone. When I click Next, now it wants to know which fields I want to see in the results? I want to see all of them for the best comparison. So I'll click the double-headed arrow in the middle of the window to move all the fields to the right-hand side.
I'll keep the default name and click Finish. Sure enough, I have a few duplicates. Katz's Deli was entered with two different company names. A typo by two different sales reps. I probably shouldn't just delete this erroneous record. I might delete associated orders or other data. I'll need to talk to my reps and change the Customer number on previous orders. Once that's been done, I can delete the extra record and run the query again to look for additional duplicate data.
Performing this query on regular basis will help keep your data error free.

Conjunctivitis, also known as "pinkeye," is a common eye condition. It's an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane that covers the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. Within this membrane, there are tiny blood vessels that get enlarged when the conjunctiva become irritated. The enlarged blood vessels make the eye look red.
The most common causes of conjunctivitis are viruses and bacteria, but other causes include allergies, ultraviolet light, and chemical or environmental irritants.
Viral conjunctivitis is caused by the same viruses that are also often responsible for the common cold. These viruses are highly contagious (easily spread from person to person), and anyone can transfer the virus to his or her eye by blowing their nose with their eyes open or rubbing their eyes.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is caused by various types of bacteria. Bacterial conjunctivitis is also contagious and usually requires a short course of antibiotic eye drops or ointment.
Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious and usually occurs in the spring, summer, and early fall. It is usually triggered by exposure to plant pollen and grasses. People who are allergic to animals or dust mites may be affected year-round.
Chemical or irritative conjunctivitis also is not contagious and is caused by exposure to irritants including:
Conjunctivitis may also occur in people with certain medical conditions. These include thyroid disease, gout, certain types of cancer, tuberculosis, and syphilis.

Would you like to raise money or collect supplies to help support the Georgia SPCA shelter animals while they await adoption? Here are a few examples of fundraisers that you can do to bring in needed funds: The video above shows just one way your school, church or social organization can help.
Have a Sale: Ask a few friends to help with a bake sale, book sale, or garage sale. You and your friends bake the goodies, or get the books or the other things required for the sale, staff it, and help clean up afterwards. Make sure your customers know their purchases are helping animals in need. This is an excellent way to get people involved in fundraising without ever actually asking them for money.
Have a Party: Have a fancy dinner or fun party. Charge people $20 to get in. One example: Spaghetti Dinner or Spay-ghetti Dinner (get it?) - Host a spaghetti dinner at a church or some other space with a large kitchen.·
Collect Change for Change: Ask all your friends, family, and classmates to save all their change for 3-5 months. Then cash it in and donate the money.
Host a movie night: Invite friends, family, neighbors, classmates or other groups to watch your favorite animal movie (like Babe, Lady and the Tramp, Finding Nemo, Because of Winn Dixie). Make animal-friendly snacks to enjoy with the show (Animal Crackers, Goldfish). Ask attendees to bring an "admission fee" of donations or supplies from our Wish List.
Trick or Treat for Wish List items: Distribute a flyer to everyone in your neighborhood letting them know that you will be "trick-or-treating" for the Georgia SPCA, and telling them what day you will be around to pick up their donations. Don't forget to suggest easy items to donate. (This doesn't have to be in October, you can come up with another creative name for a neighborhood Wish List drive.)
Celebrate your birthday or another special occasion by asking your friends and family to donate money and/or supplies to the Georgia SPCA in your honor.
Have a car wash and let people know that funds are going to support the Georgia SPCA.
The possibilities are endless! Fundraisers provide a great opportunity to support a cause you believe in, and they make wonderful service projects for clubs or schools. Please contact us if you have any questions or need any help getting started, or call the Adoption Center at 678-765-2726 and ask to speak with Debbie Martin.
We can help promote your fundraiser by creating a personalized donation page that will publicize your project on the Georgia SPCA website and accept and track monetary donations specifically for YOUR fundraising event. Here's how:
Here's how your website might look.
We truly appreciate your support of the Georgia SPCA. We depend on donations of money and supplies and time from members of our community to continue our work of:
Thank you!

Seabird Restoration:
Restore Seabirds to Santa Cruz Island

Storm-petrels. An audio system was installed on the rock in Fall 2008 to
encourage nesting.(Laurie Harvey / National Park
The goal of restoration efforts on Scorpion rock, Orizaba rock, and within sea
caves surrounding Santa Cruz Island (SCI) is to restore seabird habitat by
removing non-native vegetation, installing artificial nest boxes, and reducing
human disturbance. Eggshell thinning caused by elevated levels of DDTs was
documented in the eggs of Ashy storm petrels, California brown pelicans,
Cassin's auklets, double-crested cormorants, and Xantus's murrelets in the
Southern California Bight.
Restoration actions at Orizaba Rock and surrounding sea caves involve installing
artificial nest sites for Ashy storm-petrels to prevent or reduce impacts from
avian predation or human disturbance. Ashy storm-petrels are rare and endemic
to California and northwestern Baja California, with a world population of less
than 10,000 individuals. At SCI, certain offshore rocks (notably Orizaba Rock)
and sea caves continue to host small nesting colonies. Nests are primarily
found in rock crevices, under small rocks or boulders, under driftwood, or in
open sites along cave walls. Much of the habitat available to storm-petrels is
thus extremely fragile. Small colony sizes and fragile habitats make Ashy
storm-petrels highly susceptible to natural or human impacts. Recorded
vocalizations were used to attract Ashy storm-petrels to the artificial nests
on Orizaba Rock.
Scorpion Rock is a small islet located off the northeast coast of SCI.
Restoration efforts on Scorpion Rock are focused on nesting Cassin's auklets.
Natural Cassin's auklet burrows are present in relatively small numbers on the
rock, mainly due to the scarce vegetation and associated high rate of soil
erosion. Restoration actions on Scorpion Rock will improve and enhance existing
natural habitat for Cassin's auklets by restoring native vegetation,
stabilizing soil to minimize erosion, and eradicating invasive, nonnative
vegetation. Nest boxes were installed to provide a stable and secure nesting
area for Cassin's auklets.

Video:Resistance Bands Exercises to Tone Abswith Margie Weiss
Resistance band ab exercises tone your core and improve abdominal strength. Learn basic and advanced resistance band ab exercises to add to your workout routine.See Transcript
Transcript:Resistance Bands Exercises to Tone AbsHi! I am Margie Weiss from Body By Weiss. Today for About.com, we are going to work a toning exercise for your core using resistance bands.
Simple Resistance Band ExerciseResistance bands are simply tubes with a handle attached, so they have a lot of versatility. We are going to take this tube; we are going to put it over a foot. Why we are sitting up nice and tall? Because the muscle we are working is around the center of the body, there is a bunch of them. The obliques are diagonal downwards in the front and the back, transverse muscles, the intercostals among the ribs. So the object here is to sit up nice and tall.
Weiss is going to do the slightly harder version. I am going to do the slightly easier version. The easier option, take one hand straight out in front of you, that's going to allow the tube to relax here. This is your base position; you are not going to go beyond that on the way back. You are going to be pointing this direction.
Advanced Resistance Band ExerciseIf you are a little more advanced, you can have one hand using both parts of the tube, double resistance. What we are doing is going away from the tube and coming back in a controlled manner. You want to be sitting up on your two glute bones; we don't want to be all saggy. So don't have your legs so wide that you can't sit up tall.
Lift your arm in position and your shoulder low and your belly tight, belly to your backbone. Squeeze your glute bones just a little bit, you are going to slowly move away from the tube and then slowly come back to center. If the tube goes limp, you have gone too far.
As you get further into the exercise, you are going to start to see her arms start to shake. That means she is about at the end of the exercise. Once she finishes that side, she is obviously going to lift that tube, or to the other foot, because we have got two sides.
Again, sitting up tall, pulling away and coming back, same thing on each side. So for three different muscle groups in the core, we have used them to tone, using the resistance band today.

Judge to Citi: if you don't admit it, you can't settle it
A federal judge in New York has struck down a proposed $285 million settlement that Citigroup reached with the Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations that the bank misled investors about a mortgage-backed securities deal. The Citi settlement was little more than a slap on the wrist for the bank's behavior, which included betting against […] [Read More]
An unexpected sign of the `Occupy Houston' protests
Christopher Keeble, though, seemed a little out of place. He was wearing a tie and holding a sign that read "I <3 Capitalism." It caught my attention, since the Occupy movement has been billed as some sort of liberal Tea Party.
Yet Keeble wasn't a counter-protester amid the throng. Keeble, who told me he works in sales, said he came to the protest because he wanted to fight the perception that it was some sort of socialist gathering. In fact, it's his love of capitalism that caused him to show up.[Read More]

I have had dogs all my life and decided to take the professional plunge about 3 years ago when I became a student at Animal Behavior College. Soon after I set up shop and the rest is recent history! LOVE WHAT I DO!
hired 37 times on Thumbtack
I am a professionally certified dog trainer with over 25 years of experience in working with dogs in a variety of situations.
I have excellent results at rehabilitating dogs suffering from anxiety and aggression.
I also train basic obedience cues, and behavior modification.
Another service I offer is walking and sitting. LOVE to walk dogs!
I am also a member of International Association of Canine Professionals and am certified in Animal CPR and First Aid.
Greensboro, NC 27408
This business address is private; the map is showing an approximate location.
Christopher Martin walks our dogs 5 days a week. He is professional with dog owners, and kind and caring with the dogs. We've used Chris for almost a year now. He is completely reliable, and accommodates changes in schedule. And importantly, the dogs are very fond of him. I highly recommend Chris Martin.
Chris is obviously very fond of animals. He explained everything we were doing and why we were doing it. He was kind & considerate to both our little dog and to us. He arrived when he said he would each & every time! This was impressive to me - 3:00 p.m. meant 3:00 p.m.!
Abby was shy the first visit but the next week she was all over Chris. He was very patient with her, his background (certification) was very important to us. We would highly recommend Chris and would use his services again should the need arise.
Chris was very helpful with my hyper dog. I noticed a difference in her behavior for the rest of the day after he left. She was much calmer. I will be using his helpful training tips every day with her to keep up the good behavior. Chris was very nice and professional, I would recommend him for someone else looking for a dog trainer.
We adopted a gentle, lovable, 3 y/o shelter dog who did not know any of the basic commands. We hired Chris, and only three sessions in, our dog can now follow instruction to come and sit. We are working on stay and down. He is definitely a more manageable dog now..
We had recently moved to the area and our sheltie (Kody, 1-1/2 years old) was experiencing a lot of anxiety. Kody's barking was almost constant and he was also starting to display some aggression towards us. We needed help. We found Chris Martin through a web search and decided to give him a call to see if he could help. Chris was very professional and came to our house for a consultation. We agreed to work with Chris and began to see immediate results. Chris's method of teaching was to address our areas of concern and teach us how to work with Kody to correct those concerns. Though this is still an ongoing process, I am pleased with our results so far and would recommend Chris Martin to anyone who needs professional help with their dog.
Chris took care of walking my dogs for 5 days while I was out of town. He was very professional and accommodating, making sure to keep the boys regular schedule even though it meant early mornings. I felt confident while I was gone, knowing that Chris could handle anything that arose. I highly recommend Dogs Anonymous and Chris. He's great.
Our experience working with dogs anonymous and Chris has been fantastic. We cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and the impact it is having on our dog. We recommend dogs anonymous without any hesitation!
Chris did an amazing job. My dog was leash aggressive, really a complete challenge going on a walk if any other dog passed by. Chris worked with him for two weeks while I was out of town, then came over and taught me what to do. The difference is amazing. Now my dog easily walks by other dogs and is no problem to walk. I couldn't recommend Chris more highly.
I have 2 male pitbulls about 3 years old. When I came to Chris I was in a situation where there was a lot of aggression building between them, could not figure out why, and really did not know how to fix the issue. Chris came right in a began correcting the issues he saw from day one. He identified key contributors to the aggression and trained myself and my girlfriend how to identify and correct behaviors that could escalate into fighting. The best part about Chris' program is he encourages the owners to be very hands on and provides us with the tools to continue his program after his sessions are over. If you are having aggression issues with your dogs I strongly recommend Chris. He is always on time, works with your schedule and is flexible to last minute changes.
I found Dogs Anonymous here on Thumbtack after inquiring about dog training for Axl, my 1.5 year old German Shepherd. He is a smart obedient dog, however we were having issues with his dominant/excitement behavior at home and in public places. Chris established specific guidelines for tackling Axl's behavior and regaining our household and control of the walk. I am very pleased with the service and flexibility Chris with Dogs Anonymous offers. I highly recommend him! I will be using his service again soon for helping Axl's socialization around other dogs.
We contacted Chris to help us with our miniature schnauzer. Our dog would bark and snap at any guests we had in our home. Chris helped us learn how to get Ty under control. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior. It was both interesting and exciting to see Ty behaving for the first time!
Chris is a very professional, knowledgeable dog trainer. He helped train our shelter dog (and us) in basic obedience. He has a very good training system and is very reasonable in his fee. He is a pleasure to work with.
It was comfortable to work with Chris. His schedule was flexible which made training possible for us.
I originally contacted Chris to help our young, very high-energy GSP, Lucy, with loose-leash walking, coming when called and not completely assaulting visitors at the door. These issues have improved tremendously, as well as our knowledge of how to address them. Chris is professional, knowledgeable and personable. We had a great experience all around!
Chris worked with me and my 4 month old puppy on basic obedience. We trained for 1 hour weekly for six weeks, over which time Chris was very flexible with the schedule when necessary. Chris worked with me on how to train my puppy so that we can continue practicing and progressing. Ugie just loved working with him and is doing great!
The best in the field!! I will continue to use Chris
Awesome experience!!!!
I have been very pleased with Chris. He came over and met Gizmo before we set up any training and discussed what I needed help with. He addressed her recall and anxiety when others come to my house. He has been very flexible with his time and reasonably priced. Chris has given me a plan and suggestions on how to remain calm and maintain control of the situation. I would recommend Chris if you need help with an energetic dog.
Great professional dog trainer at an affordable price. He is very experienced and knows exactly what to do around dogs. I am a first time dog owner and I adopted a 2 year old shephard mix, Hailey, who had mostly been an 'outdoor dog.' Chris helped her get comfortable in my apartment and taught her basic commands. He sent out summary emails with what we had gone over in our training sessions and even brought his own dog on the last day to play with Hailey. Definitely recommended.
A. I primarily work with private clients whose dogs are having specific behavioral issues such as aggression or fearfulness. Some of my clients, however, have hired me for basic obedience training in combination with behavior modification for their dogs.
A. One of my latest jobs involved working with "Emma", a golden retriever who had the good fortune of being rescued by my client here in North Carolina. Emma was, however, a wild dog used to running free in wide open spaces, and once within the confines of a house or car, Emma's problems emerged. Fortunately, after a week of working with her, Emma was no longer hunched down in the crawlspace of the car, but sitting up and looking out the windows.
The second most recent case involved Gizmo, a Pit Bull Terrier, who became overly excited at the door when visitors arrived. After one day of working with Gizmo her owner had her sitting and focusing on her away from the door while guests entered and exited.
A. Make sure that the trainer you have contacted has gone through SOME kind of certification program. Too many people are calling themselves "dog pros" now without having had any kind of training or hands-on experience whatsoever.
A. One of the things I do when taking on new clients is to allow their dogs to come to ME and not me to THEM. This establishes from the start a good working relationship.
I also am not a dog trainer who believes in taking the dog away and returning it to the owner "fixed". I prefer for the owners to get involved with the rehabilitation or training from the start in order to make sure what I do will remain longer after I'm gone.
A. I LOVE WORKING WITH DOGS! I get up every morning knowing that I'm making a living doing what I love. There is no better life I could be living right now.
A. I am a member of IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) and I keep current on all new dog learning theory, and training techniques with either self motivated study or by attending seminars for CEUs (Continuing Education Units). The most recent seminar was a 3 day long course with the legendary veterinarian and dog behaviorist Dr Ian Dunbar where we studied socialization, biting and fighting. It was an amazing 3 days!

Obama: 'No excuse' for health care signup problemsBy JULIE PACE
The Associated Press | October 22,2013AP PHOTO
President Barack Obama gestures while speaking in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on Monday on the initial rollout of the health care overhaul.WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday said there was "no excuse" for the cascade of computer problems that have marred the rollout of a key element in his health care law, but declared he was confident the administration would be able to fix the issues.
"There's no sugarcoating it," Obama said. "Nobody is more frustrated than I am."
The president said his administration was doing "everything we can possibly do" to get the federally run websites where people are supposed to apply for insurance up and running. That includes bringing in additional technology experts from inside and outside the government to work on the issues.
People have until March 31 to sign up for coverage. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office had projected that about 7 million people would gain coverage through the exchanges during the first year.
The president on Monday guaranteed that everyone who wants to get insurance through the new health care exchanges will be able to, even if they have to enroll over the phone or fill out a paper application. The White House also appeared to open the door to the possibility that people trying to purchase insurance who were confounded by website problems might be exempted from the law's penalty for remaining uninsured after March 31.
Obama's event in the White House Rose Garden had the feeling of a health care pep rally, with guests in the Rose Garden applauding as Obama ticked through what the White House sees as benefits of the law. The president was introduced by a woman who had successfully managed to sign up for health insurance through the marketplaces in her home state of Delaware.
The rollout failures have been deeply embarrassing for the White House. The issues have called into question whether the administration is capable of implementing the complex policy and why senior White House officials — including the president — appear to have been unaware of the scope of the problems when the exchange sites opened on Oct. 1.
Obama, in his most extensive remarks about the health care problems, insisted Monday that the health care law is about more than just a website.
"The essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine," he said during his 25-minute remarks.
The White House says more than 19 million people have visited HealthCare.gov since the site went live on Oct. 1. Officials also say a half million people have applied for insurance on the federal- and state-run websites.
Although administration officials have acknowledged issues with software and some elements of the system's design, they have repeatedly cited high consumer interest as among the factors overwhelming the website when people try to log on.
"There's no question that the volume has caused some of the problems but also exposed some of the problems," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday.
However, Carney and other White House officials have yet to fully detail exactly what went wrong with the online system consumers were supposed to use to sign up for coverage. And Obama on Monday did not explain the problems in detail or why they were not fixed before sign-ups opened to the public.
Officials say that at this point they are not considering extending the enrollment window beyond March 31. They also say they are not considering taking the website down for an extended period of time to address the problem, but instead will do that maintenance during low-traffic overnight hours.
But Carney did appear to open the door to not penalizing those whose efforts to sign up were confounded by the system's problems.
"The law is clear that if you do not have access to affordable health insurance, you will not be forced to pay a penalty," Carney said, without elaborating
Obama, meanwhile, did acknowledge that the failures would provide new fodder for opponents of the law, often referred to as "Obamacare." With the website not working as intended, "that makes a lot of supporters nervous," he said.
But he said, "it's time for folks to stop rooting for its failure."
In an ironic twist, the problems with the health care rollout were overshadowed at first by Republican efforts to delay or defund the law in exchange for reopening the government during the 16-day shutdown. The bill that eventually reopened the government included no substantive changes to the health care law.
With the shutdown over, GOP lawmakers have been ramping up their criticism of the health care law's troubles.
"An overhauled website isn't going to fix the underlying fact that Obamacare is not a workable law," Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said. "I urge the president and my colleagues across the aisle to recognize the harm being done and set aside their pride to stop the most damaging provisions of the law, or better yet, to repeal and replace it."MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

I'm glad to respond to Jonathan's thoughtful and gracious post, which critiqued two pieces (here and here) I wrote on climate change. This is a useful dialogue to have – and it's a credit to COMMENTARY that it has provided us a forum.
There's much that I agree with in what Jonathan said, including the quasi-religious faith some people place in the environmental movement; the fact that some climate scientists have acted in a troubling and intellectually dishonest fashion; and the undeniable anti-capitalist agenda being advanced by some who travel under the global warming banner. I briefly touched on these elements in my posts; Jonathan did an excellent job amplifying them.
But there are two statements in particular I want to focus on that go to the core disagreement I have with some on the right on this topic. In Jonathan's words, "given the apocalyptic scenarios routinely put forward by warming hysterics such as Al Gore and the level of invective that the political left has consistently spewed in response to even the most reasonable of questions about their assertions, it has been difficult for conservatives to avoid responding in kind."
It is difficult, just as it's difficult to respond to false, even vicious, arguments made on behalf of any cause. Having served two terms in the George W. Bush White House, I have some familiarity with what it means to be on the receiving end of slanderous charges. But our position cannot be that bad conduct on the left excuses bad conduct on the right. If those on the left exaggerate, lie, and crush dissent, should we? Our task is to win the debate on the merits, to employ, as best we can, honest and credible arguments in order to ascertain the reality of things. And if the science shows that Earth is warming and that humans have played a role in that, then we need to accept it, even if that puts us on the same side with some individuals we don't find particularly appealing. What matters is where the truth lies, not the company we find ourselves in.
The second statement I want to focus on is this one: "Rather than the onus being on conservatives to bow to the dictates of warming science, it is the responsibility of those who wish to convince skeptics to make their case in a more accountable fashion." To be clear: I'm not in favor of having conservatives "bow to the dictates of warming science." But I am in favor of conservatives examining, in an independent and dispassionate manner, the best evidence we have on the matter of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). And the case for AGW has, in my estimation, been made. This doesn't mean there aren't some climate scientists who have exaggerated the threat or contorted the data. I said as much in my posts. But it's simply not the case that this field of science is entirely corrupt or that the vast majority of climate scientists are dishonest and/or being intimidated to state conclusions with which they disagree.
I understand the skepticism that exists (I shared in it, in fact, until I began to explore this matter in a more systematic way). I would therefore urge people to read the careful work of Richard Muller, who was skeptical that global warming has taken place but has now concluded it is real (for more, see here). One might study this report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ICPP). Alternatively, read this report by the National Academy of Sciences, which is trustworthy. (The science academies of Britain, China, Germany, Japan, and other nations all believe there is strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring.) In 2006, the Climate Science Program, a federal program under the direction of the Bush White House and sponsored by agencies including NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, found "clear evidence of human influences on the climate system." There are several others I could cite.
The point is that these reports are sober, measured and serious. They make a scientific, not a polemical, case for AGW. It's possible they are wrong. But their case has been made in a persuasive and empirical manner. And while there are some serious scientists who dissent from this finding, and their concerns are certainly worth taking into account, it matters that all the world's major science academies have said that AGW is occurring, and they have supplied the empirical case for their findings. The challenge for conservatives is to engage the most serious and honest arguments of those who believe in AGW, not simply lock in on the global alarmists. And the temptation conservatives need to resist is to portray the entire climate change movement as consisting of individuals who are more interested in ideology than science.
In saying all this, I agree with Jim Manzi that global warming is a manageable risk, not an existential crisis. And I have argued that there are significant uncertainties on how the climate system will respond a century or more from now. But for some on the right (not Jonathan, it needs to be said) to insist that AGW is a hoax, the product (more or less) of a massive conspiracy, is, I believe, damaging to conservatism. That is something I do care about. And more than that, it is, from what I can tell, a position at odds with where the evidence leads. Contemporary liberalism can do as it will. But for conservatism, facts–those stubborn facts–need to be our guiding star.

1 (12 ounce) package
linguini pasta
3 (8 ounce) cans
minced clams, with juice
1/4 cup
olive oil
1 clove
garlic, minced
3/4 cup
chopped parsley
2 tablespoons
white wine
1 teaspoon
dried basil
1/2 teaspoon
Excellent! Better than I've had in restaurants. Hubby LOVED it. My only slight changes: I added a little more garlic; I used a little less parsley; I didn't use any extra salt; I added a little squirt of lemon juice and some black pepper and red pepper flakes for a little kick. It was awesome!
ill make this recipe again because is fast to make it really easy but it taste too much like can clam , i will use the fresh clam
78 Ratings
I used this recipe as a base and created my own dish (as others did). I used 1/2 stick butter and a drizzle of olive oil, threw in 6 cloves of minced garlic & let it saute a few, added 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and let that toast a minute (next time I will add even more), next the wine & let that reduce a minute or two before adding the clam juice and then the juice of half a lemon. The other changes I made: I cooked the pasta a minute or two short and finished cooking it in the clam broth and didn't add the parsley (less than called for) til the last minute. I served it with french bread with butter and a delicious riesling. So good I'm gonna go have my second serving right now!
I made this recipe for my mother for Mother's Day and she loved it. She said it was better than any she has had at any restaurant. I did take others suggestions and used 4 cloves of garlic, 2/3 cup of white wine, half of a lemon (squeezed), pepper and red pepper. Will definitely make again.
My husband and I eat this all the time, the only thing I do differently is in a saucepan I melt half a stick of butter and place the garlic on that cooking on low. And due to this variation I cut back on the olive oil just using a drizzle. Perfect everytime---
This has always been favorite dish at Italian restaurants so I wanted to try to make it at home. After browsing the various recipies, I realize the dish I order is probably loaded with butter and not very healthy. :( So I tried this recipie instead without very high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at how close it comes to restaurant quality. I would definitely make it again, as I probably will not be ordering the full-fat kind very often anymore.
Very easy to make and delicious. Just to take the bite out of the clam (which can be a little fishy) I squeezed 1/2 of a lemon into the sauce after letting it simmer for 10 minutes. I actually made this 3 times already and I have gotten raves.
A good recipe to have when you want to make a quick, light dinner.
Very flavorful and light, perfect for a summer dinner. My 2 year old gobbled it up too! I added a touch of white wine to the sauteeing garlic and butter/oil and juice from half a lemon. Yum!

See what some of our patients have to say about our practice:
"I have been coming to Dr. Serena McKenzie for about five years and I absolutely love her and the Balancing Health office. I love that the office is clean and organized and the office staff are always warm and welcoming. Regarding Dr. McKenzie, I think she is amazing. She's very loving and caring, listens to various issues and concerns going on in my life, and always provides honest feedback and healthy solutions. I've moved numerous times over the last five years, from Redmond to Mill Creek to downtown Seattle, and its always worth the drive to Woodinville and Balancing Health!" -KS, 30 years old
"I cannot say enough about Balancing Health and the practice of Dr. Serena McKenzie. Dr. McKenzie has helped get my life back! I have never felt so comfortable with a practice, they make you feel like a person and not a number. The support and direction they give is amazing! I have beem a patient of Dr. McKenzie for over 4 years and during those years, I have lost close to 100lbs, became physically and mentally healthy, and have the confidence to continue a healthy lifestyle – thanks to this practice and Dr. McKenzie!!" -HC, 34 years old
"Dr. Marti one of the most thorough doctors that I have ever been a patient of! I mean that so sincerely. She always takes the extra time to explain things so well, to check into things, to make sure I completely understand and to look out for my best interest. I am so very appreciative that I found you and Balancing Health!!!" -SS, 50 years old
"Dr. O'Connell is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She cares deeply about her patients, she takes an interest in their lives, and she offers the best care. She promotes a natural, healthy lifestyle, and is always a great resource for other services that she does not provide." -anonymous survey respondent
"My experience with Doctor McKenzie and her staff has been delightful. She and they go out of their way to take good care of me and my family. Her commen sense advice has been espically helpful when raising daughters and I highly recommend her for anyone with questions or concerns around women's isues as well." -KH, 56 years old
"I have been a pt of Dr. O'Connell for years, and she is the one that discovered my 5 pound tumor when many other docs could not ! If you want to be hugged get a pet, she is doing a service, a damn good one! Well we all get older but I have never had an appointment where she did not spend plenty of time with me, and I would want her to err on the side of caution before trying any treatment if there is an underlying medical issue or you were a higher risk for cancer!!! When I was very ill, and when my husband disappeared after 28 years, she was there for me, She is the GYN for many other medical professionals and that says a lot." -DP, 56 years old
"I really appreciate a PCP who takes time to address my issues, listen to me, and give me suggestions for both natural and conventional options." -anonymous survey respondent
"Balancing Health's main appeal over other healthcare clinics is that I can have a choice to use alternative medicine. I like the idea of a holistic approach first, but the option of more conventional medicine if necessary." -anonymous survey respondent
"I recently discovered acupuncture for back pain and am amazed with the results after just a few visits. Janna Rome is fantastic! I have been living on ibuprofen after playing soccer for thirty years and it's great to finally treat the cause and not just the symptoms." -SV
-In a survey taken in 2012, 62% of respondents rated Balancing Health as "much better than competitors."
-The level of expertise and professionalism, the blend of eastern and western medicine practices, and practitioners that listen to and truly care about the patient were some of the top "specialties" of our office as ranked by a group of anonymous patients in a 2012 survey.
