Dog Days Of Summer

This is a COOL idea.

clipped from news.yahoo.com Dogs to take over NY swimming pools RAMAPO, N.Y. - Every dog has its day, and for those in this suburban town it's Sept. 9: That's when the pooches will have a pool party. For the fourth year, Ramapo will mark the end of the dog days of summer with a canine swim at the town pools at the Spook Rock Park. The event raises money for animal care, educates people about dogs, and gives the dogs a chance to have some doggone fun, organizers said Monday. More than 250 dogs took a dip at last year's event, called the Dog Days of Summer K-9 Pool Party. Smaller dogs used the kiddie pool, while larger dogs used the main pool. The town stopped the pools' chlorine treatment before the event because it couldn't figure out a way to keep the dogs from drinking the water. Humans weren't allowed in while the dogs were swimming.

Crushed glass part of our beaches?

clipped from abcnews.go.com Picture a beautiful beach spanning miles of coastline, gently lapped by aqua-colored water and sprinkled with glass. Ouch? Think again. It feels just like sand, but with granules that sparkle in the sunlight. Faced with the constant erosion of Florida's beaches, Broward County officials are exploring using recycled glass crushed into tiny grains and mixed with regular sand to help fill gaps. It's only natural, backers of the idea say, since sand is the main ingredient in glass. "Basically, what we're doing is taking the material and returning it back to its natural state," said Phil Bresee, Broward's recycling manager. The county would become the first in the nation to combine disposal of recycled glass with bolstering beach sand reserves, Bresee said.

PhotoShop in a Can

clipped from galleryoftheabsurd.typepad.com Photoshop in a Can was used for the Britney Spears Allure magazine shoot. Sources say Britney arrived at the photo shoot as a dishelved mess. Her makeup was 3 days old, her wig was fried, and it looked like she hadn't bathed in days. No problem, Photoshop in a Can transformed her into a comely young vixen with a tight body and soft flowing hair....all with just one touch of a button. Medium: graphite and ink on paper, Photoshop.

Some companies pay millions to have their logos on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s racecar, but others prefer to pay Brian Katz $500 or more a month for space on his Ford Expedition. Mr. Katz, 32, of Manhattan, is one of the tens of thousands of motorists who have signed up to have their cars and trucks wrapped in advertisements in exchange for a stipend up to $800 a month. These offers are becoming so popular that car owners have been willing to limit where they shop and abide by a code of conduct while they are behind the wheel.

Hedgehogs

Love it....

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk The four inch long creatures are being hand-reared by staff at the New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park in Ashurst, Hants. Workers say Mary, Mungo, Midge and Slappy get comfort from playing with the centre's cleaning brush and enjoy rubbing against it. The smells on the brush, which is used to sweep a yard, remind the hedgehogs of their natural habitat while the texture reminds them of their mother. Manager John Crooks, 41, said: "They are a bit like human babies - they need activities to keep them busy. "Because they have very poor eyesight you have to appeal to their sense of smell and touch by giving them different scents and textures. "They like natural scents and have enjoyed playing with our cleaning brushes, soil, leaves, flower pots and the like. "They particularly seem to enjoy rubbing against the brush. "It may sound odd but I imagine the bristles feel a bit like their mum."
