Your wedding day will most likely be the most important & positive turning point in your entire life. As such, this event should be captured professionally and the good memories preserved for life. This is why you need the services of accomplished best wedding photographers in Austin.
Here are the traits you should look in a professional wedding photographer in Austin to ensure your ceremony gets high quality coverage:
1. Personality
Since the day of your wedding will be your time to shine & have things go as you have planned, this needs to be reflected in the photos as well. Your wedding photographer should therefore be able to pay attention to your dislikes as well as likes and go on accordingly. Your photographer should be friendly since he would have to meet and associate with many different people during the wedding ceremony.
2. Your wedding photographer should also possess a combination of skill, experience and natural talent. Have it in mind that not all professional photographers specialize in weddings- some specialize in covering social events, others do studio portrait and others do photojournalism. Pick a photographer who specializes in covering wedding occasions so that you can rest assured that your photos will turn out amazing.
3. Focus
While the day of your wedding may be a blessing to you & your bride, it'll be a very busy day for your photographer. Your photographer should therefore be capable of maintaining focus and attention throughout the day without becoming tired or being carried away. This way he will make sure that every moment of the ceremony is covered.
4. Good reputation
Honest reviews from past clients give a better insight of a wedding photographer's quality of service. You can ask for references and follow up the leads, asking about the experiences other clients had.
5. Creativity
A wedding photographer should be highly creative and innovative in his approach to give high quality images on this special day. Your photographer should have an eye for lighting & landscape & should be capable of manipulating them.
6. Attitude
Your photographer will be required to spend time with many people from different backgrounds. He should therefore be able to mingle freely with people. He should also be able to control his temper, even if the working environment isn't conducive. Keep in mind that happy photos capture happy moments than sad ones.
The best wedding photographers in Austin should have the above discussed traits. These traits play a significant role in producing great images for you and your bride to cherish for the rest of your lives. Visit 1840 for pricing

Finally a breeze in San Diego
... and ended up at the harbour. We saw the big navy ship (I forget it's name without google) Cycled down the ocean front all along till we came to an old historic Mexican town with lots of pretty colourful restaurants in a square, music playing and little gift shops. I had Mexican that night too but it was like slop on a plate so that was the last time I was going to have Mexican in a long time! When we had finished food we went back to the bikes ...
Oh Canada, the Ross Clan is Coming
... afterthought, only 6 small gates and a skeleton crew at the far end of the airport. It felt like we walked a mile just to get to this side of airport. Our designated gate reads Quebec, so we verify we are at the correct gate before taking our seats and watch the people de-board our plane.
The flight to Vancouver is super short, we are barely in the air before the Captain advises the Flight Attendants to prepare for landing. The plane is a small commuter ...
San Diego Day 2
... to walk around Coronado just about until our free parking ran out at which point we got back in the mother ship and went to grab some lunch at El Indio back on the mainland. I'm not sure why this happens but I often find myself worried that my meal won't be enough food so I order an appetizer so that when I finish my meal I will be fully satiated. Yes I understand this is a very common practice, however, repeatedly on this trip I seem to order an appetizer or in ...
On the road to San Diego
... the first taxi driver not really having the ability to communicate effectively. And the return cab driver not having the ability to find our location. While waiting for over 1 hr a tropical storm hit which jest added to the 35 degree humidity. I picked up a bargain sandshoes Asics for$45.00. The was at 8.00pm after the restaurant forgot to call us for our reservation. We weren't happy and our tip or lack of it $1.40 reflected our frustration. Early start tomorrow to SanDiego ...
Seaworld and the zoo...pandas and Shamu.....
... a hurry. So much whale. And nearly as acrobatic as the dolphin show. With way more of a splash. With only 30 mins left till closing after the show we headed up the sky tower. It was a little disappointing because of the vinyl stickers all over the outside. But it did give us a good view of the surrounds nonetheless.

There's something fitting about TV3's Ingrid Hipkiss becoming a weather presenter at her favourite time of year.
The television reporter, who loves cooler autumn days, takes over her new role next week – and it has come out of the blue for the experienced journalist.
"This time last year I would never have thought I'd be doing something like this," says Ingrid, who started her career as a political reporter.
"I didn't see it coming, but it's still taking something that is quite complicated [the weather] and simplifying it to something people can use.
And we are going to push into more expansive coverage, so if there is a big story, I'll be out in the field reporting.
"The weather is something that affects people's moods, livelihoods and every part of your life. So it's really important to get it right."
Until recently, Ingrid has been working as a senior reporter for 3 News. She will be taking over from weather presenter Mike Hall, who will continue
to freelance for TV3.
"I have visited the Meteorological Service and been getting schooled up on that side of things. With our geography and topography, New Zealand is
tough going in terms of the actual forecasting."
And she's understandably nervous about getting the forecast right. "If you've said there are going to be showers, you will find yourself waiting for them – luckily Auckland usually delivers, because we do get the four seasons in one day," says Ingrid, who personally won't enjoy predicting strong winds.
"I hate the wind," says Ingrid, who endured Wellington's notorious conditions for four years. "It gets you down. I think autumn is nice. After a long, hot summer the cooler nights have been welcome."
One of the advantages is that Ingrid (40) will be working Monday to Friday, from midday to seven, which simplifies childcare arrangements for sons Hunter (6) and Brody (2).
"The hours will make it easier, but it's always a juggle," says Ingrid, whose partner Jack Tarrant, a freelance cameraman, will be with the boys at night.
"I've never planned any of my career moves, they've just happened. It's a happy accident.
Opportunities like this don't come along every day."

This reminds me of the time then Premier Robin Gray spruiked the Wesley Vale pulp mill on North Broken Hill letterhead ...
Now, George Town Mayor Doug Burt appears to be acting as a spokesperson for Gunns — on a Gunns corporate letterhead.
The leaflet, which was distributed in George Town over the past few days, is an invitation for four residents to join Gunns Pulp Mill 'Community Liason Committe" (CLC).
A cynic would say this is basically a tool by which Gunns can say 'see the community think the pulp mill is great and Gunns and the community are besties nowadays'.
Now according to this leaflet the committee already includes GT Council, Tas Police, Gunns and the Launceston C. Council who last time i looked had an official position of opposition to the mill.
It's significant for the LCC and their electors because part of the criteria for membership of the CLC is that parties are 'supporrtive of the pulp mill project'. This is how Gunns advertised it through the Examiner a week or two back:
I wonder how many LCC electors know about LCC's memership of this committee of which Gunns is a controlling member?
I would love to hear LCC Mayor Albert Van Zetten justify why LCC are on this committee, if the decision went to council for a vote and if they have advertised the fact to electors on whose behalf the council took a position in opposition to the mill.
I've also asked who paid for the production and distribution of leaflets. As yet no answer.
First published: 2011-09-29 06:36 AM
• Launceston City Council officially withdrew support for the mill in 2007, recorded on Tasmanian Times: HERE
• What LCC says…
Bell Bay Pulp Mill Community Liaison Committee
The Launceston City Council has accepted an invitation to be part of the Bell Bay Pulp
Mill Community Liaison Committee (CLC).
The primary purpose of the CLC is to provide a forum for addressing local community
issues associated with the project construction and operation.
Launceston City Council General Manager Robert Dobrzynski said "The Council's
participation on the CLC should not be misinterpreted as indicating any change in the
Council's formal position regarding the Pulp Mill, which has remained consistent.
"In the event that the Pulp Mill proceeds, it is extremely important that the inevitable
impacts on the city are assessed and managed. Launceston is the largest populated
area in the vicinity of the site, with 105,000 residents, and the Council needs to make
sure the best possible outcomes for those residents are achieved.
"Impacts such as heavy vehicle movements, accommodation for workers, coordination of
local contractors and, critically, ensuring that all permit conditions and community
obligations are honoured will need to be managed."
• What Jeremy Ball says ...
Dear All
I am astounded by LCC's media release to say the leaset.
The opening line says that Launceston City Council took this decision - we did not.
This decision needed to be brought to the aldermen - it was not.
In my opinion no-one has the authority to make this decision on their own; it must be a decision of council.
I will be moving over the weekend to tackle both the Mayor and GM on this issue and to request in the strongest terms that LCC's support be withdrawn until such time as Council takes the decision at a full council meeting, in the open, in front of the public where this matter belongs.
Well done for the emails and this is not over yet.

Dredged bay mud and sand, once as welcome to communities as a trash dump, may be key to saving Delaware Bay beaches and wetlands from erosion and sea-level rise.
This is one concept researchers, advocates and officials are considering as they move ahead with aggressive and creative plans for restoring parts of Cumberland County's bayshore while ensuring communities most at risk from sea-level rise can better handle flooding and storms.
Ideas for helping the bayshore have long floated around, but recovery from Hurricane Sandy — and the increased federal and philanthropic dollars flowing into New Jersey — has effectively put a spotlight on numerous projects and all but guarantees at least a few will move forward.
"These are projects that protect the natural habitat, but they also provide for natural resilience," said Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society, which is leading multiple projects along with The Nature Conservancy.
In the wake of the storm, officials and residents from Commercial, Maurice River and Downe townships are working on a list of projects, ranging from educating local officials to building a system of dikes and levies.
Buried within the projects are ideas to use dredged mud and sand, long thrown away in spoils piles as worthless, to restore badly degraded beaches and salt marshes while, in effect, re-creating critical wildlife habitat and recreation spots and improving boat access.
Cumberland County — which could lose 10 percent of its entire land acreage by 2100 due to sea-level rise, according to a report by Climate Central — could become a state leader in finding ways to use nature to fortify its eroding shorelines.
"The bayshore is the perfect pilot project," said Meghan Wren, executive director of the Bayshore Center at Bivalve. "It's got small enough numbers for dealing with sea-level rise and future storm surges that we can test things out and figure out what Atlantic City or Miami are going to do."
Residents, officials and environmental advocates for years all have wanted the same thing without realizing it, said Larry Niles, a wildlife expert and former head of the state Division of Endangered and Non-Game Species. Restored beaches provide recreation and attract tourism, he said. But the beaches also provide critical habitat in the spring for horseshoe crabs to spawn, providing food for migratory shorebirds that use the Delaware Bay as a rest stop on their way to Arctic breeding grounds.
Additionally, Niles said, watermen trying to navigate key tidal creeks and rivers to access fishing grounds and shellfish beds long have struggled with mud shoals. But the problem with dredging those waterways hasn't just been funding. There also hasn't been any place to put the spoils.
Dredged sand from these waterways can be used to restore the beaches. Silt and mud, because of the fine grain size, cannot.
Instead of putting the muck into piles, isolated from the environment and lost to the marshes forever, researchers want to spray the fine silt in a thin layer on the marshes to restore degraded wetlands and even build them up so they can survive higher waters.
Other states, including Delaware, Louisiana and New York, have experimented with spraying the muck in a thin layer over degraded salt marshes in an effort to restore the wetlands.
"It's offsetting the lack of natural sediment in the system and helping the wetlands respond and keep ahead of sea level rise," Dillingham said. "We know that the technique has had great success in marsh restoration in other areas, and we think it's a good, needed tool to bring into play in New Jersey."
Cumberland County has several areas that could be used as experiment sites, but those chosen will depend on dredging projects, Niles said.
One site of interest is the mouth of the Maurice River, where wetlands have been erased by erosion, and the navigation channel to a critically important commercial fishing fleet and shipyard area is in danger of filling in. A project on the long-term planning group's list would, effectively, rebuild the entire mouth of the river.
The project, which includes multiple phases, would use shellfish reefs to reduce wave energy, living shorelines to stabilize marsh banks and dredged sediment to rebuild the marsh, said Ben Stowman, the chairman of Maurice River Township's land use planning board and a member of a multi-jurisdictional recovery group along Cumberland County's bayshore.
"We are in full agreement, our bayshore group, that we are willing to take on the beneficial use of the dredged material, whether from the Maurice River itself or from the larger Delaware Bay river dredging projects," Stowman said.
Currently, the conceptual project is pegged to cost about $50 million, and funding from various grants and federal agencies is not yet in place. Stowman said the Department of Environmental Protection still has to sign off on a feasibility study. Once that study is approved, the project would be at least several years away from construction, he said.
No formal plans have been submitted to the DEP, agency spokesman Larry Hajna said.
"The idea has been discussed. It has potential, but it needs a lot more evaluation, and we need to make sure it has no adverse environmental impacts, but it's all very early," Hajna said. "This has not been done in New Jersey in the past, but it has been done in other states."
The projects in Cumberland, however, could be the test sites for how projects could be done elsewhere in New Jersey, Niles said.
"What we're doing overall is we're proposing these projects with a real scientific effort to document the impact so we can clearly state what the problems are and if they can be fixed," Niles said.

A no nonsense stop
A no nonsense stop
157 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City
Nam Son Beefsteak, which has two locations in downtown Saigon within short walking distance of the Reunification Palace, is a great no-frills Vietnamese beefsteak restaurant. If you can get past the barebones setting, and the limited menu, you'll find some of the best steaks in Saigon.
Both locations are surprisingly close to each other; recently moving to the other side the street from its long-time location on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia (that spot is now a Japanese restaurant), the District 3 Nam Son is now a little harder to find, a new smaller sign marking the entrance to the short alley they now call home.
As the newer of the two restaurants, it is by far the cleaner; its walls not yet facing the ravaging stains that accompanies years of meat grilling. The trade-off is that the restaurant is very basic and the seating area of dark, wooden tables is fan-cooled only, with no walls protecting diners from the outside environment.
In contrast, the District 1 location has some indoor, air-con seating. Still, things remain cool in District 3, as the open restaurant is covered from the sun by a roof, and as long as you're not rubbing your meat on the walls in District 1, the years of wear and tear shouldn't be much of a bother.
Whichever location you choose, you likely won't be coming to Nam Son Beefsteak for the setting; you'll come for the beefsteak. Nam Son knows what they do well; their menu won't confuse you with an endless list of options. Instead, you'll only have a handful of choices, most of which revolve around the kind of beefsteak you want. The more common, and cheaper, picks are the plain beefsteak, beefsteak with fried egg and the beefsteak special, consisting of an additional sprinkling of sausage, meatballs and pate.
For a little extra you can also get imported American or Canadian beef, as well as a slab of ostrich. Your meal is brought to your table sizzling on a cow shaped skillet with a variety of extras, like baguettes, French fries, lettuce and tomato, provided at a nominal charge. The cuts of meat are thin but tender — thankfully since you have to cut them with butter knives — and large by Vietnamese standards. Dishes are shockingly cheap: a basic beefsteak is 55,000 VND and imported meats don't get above 100,000 VND.
With its great tasting meats and low prices, Nam Son is consistently packed with locals — a good sign for any Saigon restaurant. I've never seen either location empty, but I've never had to wait for a table, as turn around time is relatively quick.
Still, if things get too crowded, or you're looking for more grilled meat options, you're only a short drive from Barbecue Garden where you still can watch your meat get cooked but you'll pay a higher price. If you'd rather have fish you're also not far from Cha Ca La Vong, the Saigon home of the legendary Hanoi restaurant of the same name.

Leap of Faith
by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Abby's hasty enrollment in a private Catholic school comes shortly after she's expelled from her public school for assault. While the story's plot slowly teases out the details of that expulsion, readers follow Abby through her 6th grade year as she discovers Catholicism, acting, and her own true voice.
This is a powerful story of faith and neglect. It's a good reminder that not all children who suffer from neglect are poor. Many are quite wealthy and seem, on the surface at least, to have perfect lives. Sadly, that is often far from the truth.
Gr 6-8-Only days into sixth grade, quiet, studious Abby is expelled from school for pulling a pocketknife on a classmate who has been sexually harassing her for a year. Her friends, teachers, and parents will not believe that popular Brett McAvery would do such a thing, and the fact that his father is the principal does not help Abby's case. Her parents, workaholics who cannot fathom the idea of homeschooling Abby, enroll her in a private Catholic school, although they are devout nonbelievers. Abby is filled with anger at their lack of involvement and support and resolves to convert to Catholicism in an effort to irritate them. While her initial decision is impulsive and provocative, she finds that she is drawn to Christianity's comfort almost in spite of herself, and she ends up taking her studies much more seriously than she had anticipated. As she delves into the traditions and beliefs of the Church, Abby finds that forgiveness of the people who have wronged her is the most difficult barrier to overcome. Bradley does not pull back from the questions and confusion that adolescents face when it comes to religion, and packs a lot of power into this slim novel. There are no pat answers, and the tension between Abby's doubts and her desire to believe in a higher power will resonate with many readers.-Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
Abby Lorenzo was kicked out of a public middle school for stabbing the principal's son in the arm, but no one would listen to her explain about why she did it. Abby has to make a choice. She can either be home schooled or go to a private school. To her parents, the decision is pretty clear: she is going to St. Catherine's, a Catholic private school. Abby's parents doesn't want her to become any more religious than need be, they just don't want her to get in trouble any more. While she is there, she meets some friendly people who teach her the Catholic faith, and Abby decides to become a Catholic because maybe it will make her parents angry and she will get more attention. Trying to believe with all of her might, Abby, unexpectedly, takes a giant leap in faith.
Even though some of the religious facts brought up in Leap of Faith were not explained correctly, it was still a nice book. I really liked Abby and her personality. Author Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, by the looks of it, tried very hard to send the right message through this book. Not totally unsuccessful, the book still gave the wrong message. It's through God's grace and mercy that we have been saved, not by our own works or ways. Forgiveness was a big part in this book. The way it was explained wasn't completely true but Abby took it the way I would have wanted her to. I wouldn't recommend this book, for it puts the wrong ideas into people's heads. But if you know that what you are reading isn't true, go ahead and read it, just for the story's sake, not the "lessons".

Abigail is starting a new middle school, a Catholic school, because she?s been expelled from her old one. She?s sure that this place will be just the same as the last, and no one will listen to her here either. Even her parents don?t seem able to really hear the truth about what happened at the previous school. But now she finds herself in a community of people who do listen, who want to be her friends, and who help her discover a talent for theater that she never knew she had. Converting to Catholicism began merely as a way to annoy her parents, but quickly it becomes more. Could she be developing real faith?
Kimberly Brubaker Bradley masterfully tells the tale of Abigail?s spiritual journey and the faith that comes to those who need it.

Red Symons: Drinking your garden
September 30, 2010 , 10:36 AM by Amber Tripp
Adam Grub is a fellow who knows a thing or two about weeds. He swung by the studio today to entice Red into drinking various liquid weed concoctions. He told Red about some of the health benefits associated with eating weeds, but also warned against gobbling down any old weed as some of them can be poisonous.
Adam will be presenting "Very Edible Gardens" as part of Gardening Expo Australia which runs October 1-3 at the Caulfield Racecourse.

164 Boaters Certified During "Boating Education Lagniappe Day"
Boating Education Lagniappe Day was at eight locations across the state and consisted of the National Association of Safe Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) boating education course, food and drinks, giveaways and door prizes all free of charge to the public.
The NASBLA safe boating certification is mandatory for anybody born after Jan. 1, 1984 who wants to operate a motorboat in excess of 10 horsepower.
The NASBLA approved course includes information on choosing a boat, classification, hulls, motors, legal requirements and equipment requirements. The course also covers many navigation rules and charts, trailering, sailboats, canoeing, personal watercraft and more. Each student received that completed the course was issued a vessel operators certification card.
The eight locations consisted of:

For more information on boating regulations and safety, please visit www.wlf.louisiana.gov/boating. For more information on boating education courses, please visit www.wlf.louisiana.gov/boating/courses.
Studies have shown that states with a mandatory boating education program have fewer boating incidents that result in fatalities than states that have no boating education program. States with a boating education program for more than 20 years had 3.67 fatalities per 100,000 registered boats, and states with no boating education program had 6.61 fatalities per 100,000 boats.
LDWF initiated the state's boating education program in 2003 and has certified over 50,000 boaters during that time.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Mother Jones: In your view, what's the most exciting new use of technology in politics?
Colin Delaney: I would say it's the diffusion of control. It's not any particular technology, it's more that campaigns—whether they're corporate promotional campaigns or electoral campaigns or advocacy campaigns—don't really have full control over their message anymore. And that to me, as someone who is a democrat with a small "d" at heart, that's very exciting.
MJ: Could you point to one Web 2.0 technology that's most overhyped?
CD: Viral spread of a message or of a video. It happens; it's a real phenomenon. But it's extremely difficult to make it happen. It's really difficult to predict what's going to take off and what's not.
MJ: What makes something go viral?
CD: Things rarely go viral on their own. You know the "macaca" video—they pumped it out there. Well, let's put it this way, things rarely go viral on their own. Somebody's usually pushing it. But the "macaca" video spread because it showed something about George Allen in a way that people couldn't see before. It made part of his personality—this bullying personality—very obvious. Something somebody wrote the other day really struck me: For every one of these videos that hits and makes big, there are hundreds and hundreds of others that may be influential within a niche audience, and those ultimately might be more important in the aggregate than the single large, popular videos are.
MJ: Which candidate is doing the most important things with technology so far?
CD: I don't know yet. I think we're still shaking out. I think the most important thing for a candidate isn't going to be any one tool or tactic; it's going to be how well they integrate them all, and how well they actually use them to turn supporters into people who actually show up on Election Day. So we probably won't know until the primaries. I think the things that are really going to matter aren't obvious to the eye right now necessarily. Often the most important stuff is database-driven behind-the-scenes targeting. People are going to be very aggressively going out and trying to find supporters.
MJ: What aspect of the political use of Web 2.0 makes politics less democratic and what makes it more democratic?
CD: The availability of easy video, audio, and text-publishing tools—blogs, video-sharing sites, podcasting—these things that allow people to put their own opinions out as an equal to any major media outlet. The mainstream media have traditionally acted as information filters for people. Using video where candidates are speaking directly to voters lets people bypass that. And they may be saying things that aren't true, or that are shading the truth. This is what political campaigns do. So it takes at least a partial check off the communications from a candidate—but that seems to be what people want. People want to be able to make up their own minds, rather than having media outlets being the only ones telling them what to think. People are going to be taking in information from CNN and also from blogs and some YouTube videos that their friends passed them.
MJ: Is that less democratic or just different?
CD: I don't know if it is less democratic, because you're channeling the campaign's message unfiltered, which might be seen as anti-democratic because you're not analyzing that message and dissecting it. But it might be seen as more democratic because you're letting the politicians speak directly to the people.
MJ: What do you think about the term "open-source politics"?
CD: That's not bad at all. The open-source model sort of conceptually applies, in that you are crowdsourcing the political process. And just like open-source software, it's going to be messy. It is less efficient, generally, to have a 100-person centrally controlled programmer team solving a problem than having 10,000 programmers scattered around the world solving the problem independently. Those independent programmers are going to waste more time, but they're likely to come up with a better solution than the tight team. And the same thing will happen in politics. I mean, how many blogs are actually worth reading? How many videos that are posted are politically related or worth watching? The wheat-to-chaff ratio isn't going to be very favorable. But the good stuff is going to be better than most of what we'll see from the professionals.
MJ: To what degree is politics really going to become more responsive to voters?
CD: I don't have any illusions about the ability of traditional interests to influence the system in ways that normal citizens can't. Lobbyists are always going to exist, campaign contributions are going to exist; there's going to be a whole sphere that citizen politics can't really touch. But if the voters are actually talking, the politicians are going to have to listen to them. So it's less that it's going to change the world, and more that it's going to put a little more balance into the system.
MJ: Do you think this will bring people into politics who weren't interested before?
CD: Yeah, I definitely think so. When all they see are these horrible, poor-quality, vicious, overplayed campaign ads, that turns off so many people to politics. Now are voting rates going to go up? I don't know, but I think that the people who are involved are going to be much more directly involved, and I would say more passionate.
MJ: Do you think a candidate can win without doing anything on the web these days?
CD: Can they win? Absolutely, anyone can do anything. Can they win without it? Sure, I mean the vast majority of money is still going to be spent on television this election cycle. Are they going to be able to win without the web in four years, six years, eight years? That becomes much more problematic. But for this cycle, I think traditional organizing—let's say on-the-ground, face-to-face organizing and television—are still going to be more important. But we're seeing the rise of what might be the next way politics is organized in this country, and it's fun.

Thoughts on Bag: My bag was ok this month. The eyeliner applies nice and I will probably use it for a waterline eyeliner. I'm not sure if I like the red shade of lip gloss on me. It's a nice lip gloss though. I have yet to try the nail polish but I'm sure I will like it. I've been using the night time moisturizer every night since I got it. I got the daily moisturizer sample in one of my past month's ipsy bags. I already went through both samples. :p I don't know about th shampoo though... I've never tried one of those before. My hair get's oily, so I just wash my hair. I'm not sure if I can use the dry shampoo with my colored hair.
Here are the other items that were featured this month:

I would not do both at the same time. So if the law is at 4 months, the vet has no other choice as to tell you it has to be done. Personally I feel that this is wrong. When I bought my lhasa years and years ago, the vet told me he cannot give the rabies shot as long as he was still teething. My next vet told me that the rabies shot was not to protect the dogs but to protect people. So what are you supposed to do ? I have also my own opinion about spaying and neutering. So since your law is at 4 months I would start by doing the rabies shot (but ask that they don't give the full dose, does not make sense that a puppy or small dog gets the same amount as a big dog). Then, hold of for the spay until she is older.

Maltese Jane, my vet said something similar to yours, only he said he waits for rabies until they start getting adult teeth, not until they are finished teething. When Ivy had all her adult front teeth in, he gave her her rabies; she still was teething her canines and some in the back. It has to do with the effectiveness of the puppy's immune system, not really anything to do with their teeth. The adult teeth are one sign of the puppy's growing maturity which varies puppy to puppy, which is why it is a better indicator than just an specific age. Some pups' immune systems are ready at 4 months but many are not.
The rabies vaccine laws are to protect people. The legal system couldn't care less whether people's dogs die but they do care if a sick dog infects and kills people. Fortunately, the vaccine protects people AND dogs.

I agree with everything Ivy's Mom has said. Go ahead and have Gucci get her rabies shot, especially since I know she spends a lot of time playing outside. Better to be safe and follow the law.
Just make sure your vet uses the thimerasol free rabies vaccine. Don't assume he does as most still don't. Call and double check before you get to the appointment.

Bailey's vet didn't use IMRAB TF3, in fact she didn't even know it existed before I asked her. She called the company, researched it and decided it was "good medicine" and switched the entire practice to the TF rabies vaccine.

I think Belle got hers at 5months, and she was just spayed on wednesday (shes 6.5 months old). She had an injection site reaction from rabies shot which I guess for the toy breeds is fairly common, but other than that she wasn't sick or ill from the shot. I would get the rabies, then wait to get spayed. My vet told me Maltese normally come into heat anywhere from 7-8months so having her spayed at 6.5 months was ok. ( I was worried of her having a heat before getting spayed :s) but all worked out great, & she had gained a bit of weight from 5-6.5months which made me feel a little bit more at ease
Also, theres an ingredient in the rabies shot that is not good for dogs that you should ask your vet about, however in Canada it's not used anymore in dogs & smaller animals--supposedly just in horses. I forget the name!! Ugh I'll have to check my files & let you know! I researched it A LOT when Belle got hers lol.

Can I ask why there is concern over what age a pup gets their rabies shot? Is it dangerous unless it's after a certain age? Khloee gets her on Feb 2nd; she will be a little over 4 months so I want to make sure I shouldnt be concerned...

No, it's not dangerous, just ineffective if they are too young.
In all young mammals, immune systems are very immature and don't work like an adult's. That is why people babies also have to go in for multiple shots every couple of months, because the immune system isn't fully "operational" yet so the effectiveness of the shots wears off. Nursing babies obtain their first protection - antibodies - from their momma's milk as long as her immunizations were up to date prior to having her babies. But the immunity the baby receives from their mother wears off before their immune systems will really react to the vaccines which makes it imperative that they receive their "puppy shots" every 3 weeks until they are at least 16 - 20 weeks old. By then their immune system has matured enough that the vaccine "takes" and immunity will be effective for a year or more (depending upon the vaccine). If the puppy receives the rabies vaccine when they are still too young (and my vet goes by whether they have any adult teeth yet to gauge this) the rabies vaccine would be ineffective and would have to be repeated. Waiting until the puppy's immune system is more mature means that the single dose will be effective.

As far as Khloee, if she still has a mouthful of puppy teeth, I would wait. At 4 months, Ivy did not have any adult teeth yet and my vet would not give her the rabies yet. At 5 months of age she had a mouthful of adult teeth, she got her rabies and did fine with it (also had a shot of Benadryl 20 min. prior to rabies shot).

Oh wow, thank you Ivy! We have been doing the shots in doses and the rabies is scheduled at 3-4 weeks after her last. Khloee has some adult teeth, but not all of them...I'm gonna call my vet right now and ask.
Thanks again! Gosh I love this site and members! World of knowledge!

Scarlett Johansson as The Black Widow
The Black Widow from Marvel ComicsIn the comic books published by Marvel in the 1960s, one of the more interesting characters introduced into the Avengers comics was that of Natasha Romanoff, a Soviet/Russian agent code-named "The Black Widow." The Black Widow in the comics went from a Cold War adversary to a trusted member of the Avengers and an agent of SHIELD. In the recent Marvel Studios movies, the Black Widow is an agent of SHIELD, a confidant of Nick Fury, and is a vibrant red-head played by the shapely Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson as The Black Widow
In the movies produced by Marvel Studios, the Black Widow is an agent of SHIELD (and, as of 2012), her origin still unknown. Black Widow works for Nick Fury, the Director of SHIELD, and is first seen in Iron Man 2 as a covert agent implanted in Tony Stark's company. Her name is given as Natasha Romanoff, a Russian emigre who, in her role as The Black Widow, kicks bad-guy butt without equal (for a hero without super-powers). Scarlett Johansson reprised her Black Widow role in The Avengers movie released in May, 2012 in the United States.

Neutering our 10 month old Labrador pup?
Our breeder was very insistent that we didn't get our yellow Lab pup neutered until he was at least 12 months old, but as he is getting friskier by the day I just wanted to check opinion on whether there's biological benefits/disavantages of having him neutered then or whether it's more a personal choice?
Asked by
on Feb 14th 2009
in Spaying & Neutering
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I'd say its a personal choice for neutering, but waiting until 12 months may increase the chance for disease.
Most vets nowadays recommend spaying and neutering at at least 8-10 WEEKS old. Its better to do it earlier, but as he's already 10 months then I'd say get it done as soon as possible.
I don't think that neutering early will affect his growth or anything like that.
Neutering a 6 wk old Mastiff pup MIGHT affect its growth but it shouldn't do anything to a healthy 10 wk old pup, much less a 10 MONTH old pup!

It is much safer to get them fixed a 6 mounths old. my friend got a big male dog he is a 1 1/2 old got him fixed last week and he done good but wating will make them whant to roam mark and have a girl friend. I wolud go ahead and get it done as soon as I clould.

nueturing does NOT have any affect on male dog's hormones. It doesnt affect their growth or masculinity in any way. It is best to get any dog spaded or nuetered at 6 mos before their first heat cycle. It is a myth for anyone to wait until after their first heat cyle to get the procedure done. It is safer for a pet to go through this at a younger age, although it can be done at any age. The younger the better for health reasons and benefits in this animals future.

Ugh. Your dog looks great and healthy, I'd say its safe to neuter him now. However, those who say it doesnt' affect size obviously do not own very large breeds. On the same note, if you aren't planning on breeding, then size in appearance should not be important to you. Your dog is probably as tall as it is going to get, though other things could change in size. However, extra large breeds, such as mastiffs ARE affected by early neutering because they grow for so much longer than other breeds and they NEED those hormones for proper head growth, bone growth, and everything else. If you see a mastiff that looks like a great dane, its because it was neutered wayyy too early!

You can now don't worry.
I don't know what her reason is, but it will not hurt him any more or less.
My vet recommends at 6 months.

Hi Cooper,
You should probably be neutered a.s.a.p. Neutering can significantly decrease your risk of getting testicular and other cancers. It is just healthier overall for male dogs to be neutered and should be done unless they are being studded. Check with your vet, but you are definitely old enough. I'd ignore the breeder and go with what the vet says (which will probably be how quickly can we do it!).
Good Luck!

I got my dog from a shelter that won't adopt out dogs until they are old enough to neuter, because so many people don't bring them back; then once they are chosen for adoption, they are fixed the next day and taken home. I was kind of concerned when they wanted to neuter a puppy that young, but his regular vet (the one I used for my previous dog as well) said it wasn't a problem.
Sable was neutered at 8 weeks old, when he weighed 5-1/2 pounds, and he's never had any problems. He was a malnourished runt when I got him - his vet originally predicted he'd weigh 30-40 pounds, and he now weighs 82! He's a very happy, healthy, laid-back dog, and certainly neutering him early didn't stunt his growth.
If you're concerned with waiting (or not waiting), call the breeder and find out WHY the breeder suggested it - then call a vet as well, and make the decision based on what you think is best for your dog.

As a breeder we sell with a desex/neuter contact that says not before 9 months but before 12 months. Doing it at an early age WILL affect your pup, incontinence , longer legs as the bone plates do not close when they should can affect maturity, coat etc as well as mentally.
Our vet will not do them under 6 months.

We have two male dogs. A Beagle and a Border Terrier. The breeders of both of our Male dogs said 12 months. Reason from both, it allows their skeletal structure to completely form. Neutering earlier can cause weak bones. We have since found two Beagle books that back the breeder up. We neutered the Beagle 2 days after his first birthday and he is almost 3 now and healthy as can be. Runs in agility and also tracks.
Our Son has a female Beagle and his breeder and vet suggested six months for her, prior to her first heat.
I suggest you listen to your breeder. They probably know more about your particular breed than even the vet.

I am a 10 1/2 yr old female Bouvier spayed at 6 1/2 months before I had a chance to come into my first heat cycle so as to avoid the "mess". If my mom knew then what she knows now, I would have had at least one heat cycle before being spayed.
My "brother", an "almost 2" year old male Bouvier, will be used for stud, so he will stay intact. In observing his siblings that were neutered/spayed earlier, there is an apparent "lack of maturity" in their look.
Every breed is different. But regardless, I suggest allowing the dog to reach 12 months before spaying or neutering to allow at least one year of growth hormones. Boys will be frisky and silly. Girls will be bitches. Period.
I am on my 2nd bout with bone cancer and research shows that I may not have had any cancer if I had had a complete year of growth before spaying.
My mom thinks that animals younger than 6 months of age shouldn't be spayed or neutered. It has an impact regardless of what PETA and HSUS sells.. er says.
Emilie answered on 2/18/09. Helpful? / 0
The veterinarian I worked for recommends 6 months as the best age to neuter. At 6 months your dog is just starting to mature. If you are planning on neutering your dog anyway, there is no valid reason to wait.
Neutering is a very simple surgery that is over in a matter of minutes. Although there is no medical or biological disadvantages in waiting until your dog is 12 months; your dog could have some psychological and/or behavioral problems adjusting after the surgery if you wait.
It just seems kinder to me to neuter and spay BEFORE the pet is fully aware and mature.

Beautiful apartment - spacious, very clean. Very well equipped kitchen - plenty of dishes, pots, pans. In the kitchen, there is even a toaster.
The beach is about 20 minutes walk. huge shopping center is very close. The center has a children's playground.
Agency staff are punctual. They reply to the letters quickly, are ready to answer any questions. We were handed a map of the city and told everything that was interested for us.
the apartment has the only defect - two bedrooms are quite noisy because of their windows facing the busy street.

Good Apartment, good located
we have booked a studio apartment but then got upgraded to a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was very dirty; the teasmade was old and rusty; the bathroom shower, toilet and sink where not cleaned at all; the fugues in bathroom old and mouldy; so not very luxury at all. The personal for cleaning was a men who really did not know his job. I highly recommend you to take your own cleaning rag because there is no one in the appartment. Also the frig was dirty and in some of the pots there were water in it but the pots where in the drawer. How is that possible? We were there in Sept. 2013. Maybe they've renovated the bathroom fugues and took a new cleaning personal. If not, I don't recommend this appartment. Let me see if I can upload some of the photos for this appartment.
Kind regards from Switzerland,
Bojan and Katarina.
Nice appartment, very good location near the beach.
We had some problems with the door, very professional help from the team.
The apartment with its three balconies was nice, quiet and central. Air conditioner, TV, music were working well.
The service was good.
They request a credit card for the safety deposit.
The location close to the beach and to Dizingoff street is perfect, although the quarter around is old and renovation is necessary.

I don't know if San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is a Johnny Cash fan or not, but he took the rock legend's lyrics to heart during a highlight possession during Sunday's win against the Toronto Raptors. When trapped against the sideline on a fast break, Ginobili bounced the ball through DeMar DeRozan's legs, ran over the sideline, back inbounds and finished the play in typical Manu style. While most of Manu's crafty moves, including his Wizards fakeout and circus-style layup seem unfair to unsuspecting defenders, this particular highlight was actually against NBA rules, according to Rule 10 - Section II - b of the NBA case book (via the Point Forward). When dribbling, Player A1 steps out-of-bounds but is not in contact with the ball. He then returns inbounds and continues his dribble. Is this legal or illegal? Illegal. Player A1 cannot be the first player to touch the ball after going out-of-bounds, until it is touched by another player on the court. In a game that went to double overtime, I'm surprised to have not heard much of an uproar coming from Canada over a clear missed call by officials. But can you blame the officiating crew for becoming spectators on yet another awe-inspiring Ginobili play, regardless of whether or not it was a violation?

I'm planning an outdoor party for my wife's birthday and want to use my ipod dock but there is no mains power. I will need it to last about 4-5 hours if possible.
In leyman's terms, how can i do this without huge expense or engineering know-how?
Someone said i can use a 12v battery with an invertor, but to be honest I've no idea what that means. Can anyone help?
Depends how much power you need. Battery with an inverter (or maybe a computer UPS) will do it if it's a few hundred watts, more than that and you're probably looking at hiring a generator.
I predict a trip to maplins - thanks for answering my off-message post!
As an alternative, did you consider a cordless/ battery powered ipod speaker? You can still hook it up to your ipod and the sound quality may be better?
Btw if Maplin don't have what you need, try a camping store.
Can you park the car near by and use the 12v power either from the cigar lighter or battery to run an invertor?
Or see if any campers / builders can lend you a small generator - even an 650w will do.
Like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/sumo-sml34gen-650w-generator-230v/89480
This would even run outside lights for you.

Yesterday, the kids and I rode the BART to the end of the tracks in Millbrae. Then we walked almost a mile to the nurse-in.
Nursing on BART:
We were the second of the nurse-in families to show up. The XL Pipeline protest was in full swing and the police were there monitoring that. We lined up next to them and got out our signs.
Margaret made these. They say, "Be nice to mommies and babies," and "Don't take down (her drawing of a breast) pictures." The red objects at the bottom of the sign are breasts and the faces at the top are smiling babies. She chose her own sentences and I helped her spell them.
Eventually we counted 15 adults and 21 children for the nurse-in, though I've been told that a couple of people showed up after the count.
I was interviewed for a Chinese news station and was told I'd be on in Beijing this morning. That's right people- I'm famous in China. Paala recorded some of it and has it on her wrap up of the event.
I don't always tandem nurse, but when I do, it's at a nurse-in and I get photographic evidence.
My friend, Jena was there! She wrote about it on her blog, too. You may remember I refer to a Jena in Linda's birth story: same one.
Here is Jena photobombing my proof that there were other people there besides myself.
More proof:
And this is my anarchist son re-arranging the "parking prohibited" signs. His anarchy was lost since these signs were leftover from February and had no real impact.
On the way home on BART, here is Isaac looking out over South San Francisco.
When our BART train was going through the tunnel across the bay, a trio of musicians came into our car explaining that someone they were related to just got out of the hospital and they needed money for bills and in exchange would play us a song. With a guitar, tambourine, and bucket, we were entertained by a lively chorus of "Hey Jude." It was well done, but alas, I don't carry cash on me. Margaret really loved the performance and told me that next time we should have cash with us.
Want more nurse-in pics? Check out the event page. I know of another blogger who is planning on covering this and when she does I'll add her link here.
ETA: They didn't use my interview except as a quick shot, but we're here. http://www.china.org.cn/video/2013-06/13/content_29108884.htm

"It is." She coughed hard and then turned back to him.
"But… he stays out in the ante-chamber while you sleep."
"I don't like to be alone at night." She lowered her eyes again, a little embarrassed.
Chevalier moved closer and kissed her forehead, "Who says you will be alone?"
He laughed when the blush returned to her cheeks.
He grinned, "Enough already, finish eating and lay down."
With not quite half of the food gone, she laid back onto the bed and cuddled down. Sitting up for so long
had really made her tired and it was only a few minutes before she fell asleep.
A dream jerked her awake and she looked around the dark room, suddenly feeling cold and alone.
"Chev?" she called into the darkness, but it was Kyle's voice that responded.
"He stepped out, Em, are you ok?" He stayed a few feet back from her bed.
"I'm ok, just a nightmare." She patted edge of the bed beside her.
Kyle didn't move at all toward her. He used to sit beside her while she slept, but she understood how
Chevalier had probably put an immediate stop to that.
Kyle smiled at her, "You got me demoted."
She gasped, "I did? How?"
"From the head of my own guard unit… to babysitter." His voice was light and amused.
"Ugh, babysitter…" She lay back on the bed and rolled away from him. He chuckled and returned to the
chair by the fire.

(CLEVELAND) — The Cleveland Browns resigned linebacker D'Qwell Jackson on Monday.
According to a source of ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is a five year $42.5 million dollar deal with $19 million guaranteed.
The 28-year old Jackson has had a tough career. He previously missed almost two full seasons, including all of 2010, due to torn muscles on both sides of his chest.
He came back last year to record 158 tackles, the second most in the NFL.

It's the last week of National Poetry Month. Buds are bulging, the sun is fat, and temperatures are...well, not technically freezing. Souds like poetry season all right! To help get in the spirit, I read nine new, wildly different collections from Maine-based poets (only once through, I'll admit, and not always out loud — total sins for serious poetry-readers) and offered some reflections here.
One of the most widely respected regional poets and a professor at the University of Southern Maine, Betsy Sholl writes poems of reminiscence, reckoning, and awe. In Otherwise Unseeable (University of Wisconsin), her lyrical, assonant verses often give voice to the underprivileged or underheard, arriving as imaginative confessionals and apostrophes (like the daring de-mythification poem "Frog to Princess" and its marvelous final stanza) or dumbstruck devotionals ("Rahsaan," a tribute to sax player Rahsaan Roland Kirk among several tributes to jazz). First published over 30 years ago, Sholl is a poet writing from a rarefied perspective of compassion, reflection, and comfort. She draws inspiration and metaphor from the natural environment — that means a whole lotta bird imagery — as well as the tight knots of family life. When her poems contain desperation or toil, they're within the lives of others, most notably in the volume's second section of historical studies on war and oppression.
Throughout, Sholl deploys colorful language playfully and sensationally, careful not to let it swell into bluster (from "To a Plum": "Between night / and the sun-struck bay, you hang / heavy on the limb, your blue-black / powdery sheen like shimmering kimono silk / the color of midnight and bruise. / What's there to lose?"). A treat for the tongue, the energy is so bound in language that Sholl's poems often demand re-reads (otherwise their plentiful metaphors will remain a blur on the page), while her active, first-person works, like the somber reflection on a father's death in "Waiting Room," are clear stand-outs. These rich poems might be slow going, but there's plenty in Otherwise Unseeable, Sholl's 10th volume, to unpack.
In her new collection Same Old Story (CavanKerry Press), Harmony, Maine poet Dawn Potter makes excellent examples of the pleasures of deciphering how a poem works — not what it says or means. With wit, subtlety, and irony, she offers earnest, no-holds-barred insights on domestic triumphs and hardships; the wariness and weariness of love; and the specter of loneliness that haunts everyday life, the latter a fugue threading the volume's most affecting lines. In "Cover Song," an amused Potter paints a scene of a lover from her past who would brazenly sing courtship songs to her in the streets (one gets the sense the tryst didn't last long). But as is often the case, she circles back toward a sort of forgiveness, along with a keen understanding of the trappings of human affect. "How unreal it feels to play at romance, gliding / Slickly beyond your homely self like a ballroom ghost, /As if your everyday, tempted, shivering skin / Couldn't perform a truer rendition."
