A Conversation with Harry and Charlie 'Born HIV Free' - Charlie Bit My Finger - Again!

This is the second and last video in Harry and Charlie's Born HIV Free series. Most of our videos are simply moments from out life In this video the boys actively contributed to the video and message. We had discussions about the charity and the difference it makes. I am very proud of Harry and Charlie for wanting to help make a difference. Check out the link at the end of the video for more information and a chance for you to also make a difference along with Harry and Charlie www.youtube.com www.bornhivfree.org This is perhaps my favourite video. To have watched and helped the boys grow up and now see them deliver something so worthwhile is fantastic. Yes the video is scripted, I think that is obvious. However the script is based on many discussions we had with the boys before hand. Scripting the video was the only way we could get the message across correctly with decorum. Most of our time is normally spent running around with our hair on fire (a well used phrase in our house) and I don't think our regular formats that would have shown respect for the subject matter. I think it should be obvious but Harry and Charlie were not paid to make this video and we covered all costs associated with making it. Any advertising revenues generated from this video will be donated to The Global Fund. http Typically the wind picked up as we started filming and aeroplanes flew overhead so apologies for background noises. At least the dog nearby didn't bark while we were recording :)

Time for a Trip With Outdoor Clocks

Image : http://www.flickr.com

What do you notice while you are you are on that everyday commute to work? Walking the dog? Going for a run? Whether you live in a big city or small town, chances are that a few key landmarks stand out along the way: a park, a distinctive building, even a unique sign. These landmarks tell stories about the character and history of the place you're traveling through. The next time you come upon an outdoor clock on one of these journeys--even an imaginary journey through a photo collection--take a closer look. What it reveals may surprise you!

Many Faces, Many Places
Large outdoor clocks are as unique as their designers and the spaces they occupy. Many large outdoor clocks are mounted on buildings, big enough for everyone to see. These could be set on the outside wall of the building or mounted on brackets or a pedestal. These types of clocks often identify iconic buildings that are integral to a community's history. But these are only the tip of the iceberg!

Other outdoor clocks are designed to appeal to people on foot. A bracket clock is ideal for crowded downtown areas because passers-by in both directions can easily see the time. A tower clock is designed to create a sense of community in gathering places like local parks and gardens. And a skeletal clock is unique because it is "faceless," showing only numbers and hands.

Still other clocks have illuminated dials, so you can see what time it is from a distance. You may even see a neon clock inviting you to enjoy a great meal at your local diner.

It's in the Numbers
Look closely at an outdoor clock the next time your commuter train stops at a station. The dial and hand designs are distinct and usually Roman, Arabic, or Modern. Some clock makers use a combination of number and hand designs for a unique look. The style of the dial may offer some hints about the history and atmosphere of the surrounding area. Even with this diversity of styles, all outdoor clocks are built to last and will withstand even the worst effects of weather.

Around the World
If you take a journey online or in a photo book, you can learn even more about well-known places through their outdoor clocks. Some of the largest are located in England, including Big Ben and its massive clock face in the Palace of Westminster. This timepiece is extremely reliable, and has rarely failed since its construction in the mid 1800s--even through World War II and London's weather! It's no wonder that this famous outdoor clock has become a national symbol through its resilience and strength.

But outdoor clocks don't need to be national icons to be unique landmarks. They don't even have to be mounted on a building, wall, or pedestal! There are beautiful floral clocks located in many parks and gardens throughout the world. A visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis will reveal a majestic floral clock inviting passerby to momentarily forget the fast-paced outside world. The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, the City Park in Puerto Rico; and Nassau are also home to intricate floral clocks made of native flowers. And, if you're really adventurous, check out the clock at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica (near the South Pole)!

Where ever you are or where ever you go, take a close look at an outdoor clock. Then, when you get home, visit Lumichron in Grand Rapids, or Lumichron.com. In no time, you will have your own custom built outdoor clock to show off to family and friends.

A Bull Mastiff? What Exactly is This Dog Breed?

The calm, loyal , and loving Bullmastiff has a strong personality and protective instinct. When danger arouses, it will protect and defend it's owner from possible threats.

It's origins started in England back in the second half of the nineteen century when gamekeepers needed to protect game preserves and large estates from poachers. Dog Breeders and some gamekeepers began to cross existing breeds to produce a dog breed that would possess the required aggressiveness, strength, speed, intelligence and the quietness needed to scare off approaching poachers.

Some might say that a Bull Mastiff looks a lot like a bulldog because of it's sad look. And they are right. A Bullmastiff's DNA is made up of sixty-percent Mastiff (Old English Bulldog) and forty-percent Bulldog (Modern Day Short English Bulldog) and can weigh up to a 130 pounds. It's color ranges from a deep red to a lighter red fawn which is known to many as a red-fawn.

A protector and a lover, a Bullmastiff may not get along well with other dog breeds. However, they do get along pretty well with people and children and is often very loving towards them. They are also quite sensitive to the tone of your voice but requires an assertion of authority over them as they are quite stubborn.

Although a Bull Mastiff's coat is short, dense and gives great weather protection, he enjoys living in the house where he is close to loved ones. In today's modern world, a Bull Mastiff in a fine example of a first-rate family dog. They generally cost around $700 to $1,500 depending on their size, color and character and shed very little hair.

If you are looking for that loving dog who will stand by you through thick and thin, then the Bull Mastiff will be your best friend ever. The Bullmastiff was approved by the AKC on February 8, 1992 which was made effective on March 31, 1992.

Weight:

It should weigh from 12-15 lbs.

Build:

This terrier's head is broad in skull and short in fore-face, resembling the otter (one of his most hated foes).

The skin is very distinctive in that it is loose-fitting and extremely thick. The hide of a Border can be grasped and pulled away from his body without making the dog uncomfortable. This tough, but loose-fitting hide helps him in his work and protects him from bites and adversaries.

Different colors of the Border Terrier include blue and tan, grizzle and tan, or just red.

Personality:

The Border Terrier is fully able to take care of himself under any circumstance and are proven to be very tough. It is very earnest in expression, but at the same time a very loving and delightful dog.

Border Terriers are extremely good companions and love to perform. They are excellent for herding cattle and sheep.

The Border is exceptional when on certain hunts, such as for bear and wolf.

Often, when they hear certain music, they are known to like to sing.

Heritage:

The Border Terrier hails from the North of England, but you can find them in Cumberland, Northumberland and West Moreland as well. Most breeds commmon to the North of England are so closely related that it is difficult to say which descended from which...

...The Border Terrier may well be the product of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier and the Bedlington Terrier, yet it might have been the ancestor of one of these breeds.

It appears that the breed was known at the end of the 17th Century as a sporting dog. It has been known by it's present name for over 1 Century.

What a great little companion - the Border Terrier!

Love Your Terrier!

The Papillon Dog Breed

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes to make great family pets. There are always dog lovers out there that have a favorite breed, but how do you know what you may like if you don't know the breeds peculiarities. If you have never really been around dogs you should always find as much information about them as possible including the breeds that are available and how you should interact with them. The Papillon dog breed is considered a toy. It is one of the smaller dogs among the list. You will find that it is also an older breed in European history.

Dating back to the sixteenth century you will find the Papillon was considered a lap dog for most of the nobles in Europe. The name means butterfly in the French translation and when you see this dog you will understand why it is an apt name. The ears really resemble the wind span of a butterfly with the shape and the hair that grows around them. In fact you could argue their ears are actually larger than their face. You will find this dog weighs nine to ten pounds and stands about eight to eleven inches. They have one of the finest coats in the dog breeds as well. They are usually white with patches of black, tan, and other colors. The coat is long and almost silky. You will find they are soft to pet and that their hair is going to be a little longer than most dog breeds. Luckily the hair doesn't grow to long on their limbs, but they are fairly fluffy in appearance all around.

Like most dog breeds in the toy category you will find the Papillon dog to be extremely playful, alert, and affectionate. They are also well known for their elegance. They do not make a great guard dog as they tend to be overly affectionate with everyone. You will find they are not shy or aggressive. They like to be the center of attention, and despite their size you will find them to be quite sturdy. It likes to have plenty of affection and doesn't do well with mistreatment; therefore older children are recommended before adding the Papillon to your family. You will also find they can be a little protective towards the family or owner, but they will never be dangerous.

Training is one of the easier options you have with this dog breed. Most dogs can display a stubbornness during training, but not the Papillon. They are eager to learn and like complex problems for their intelligence. If you are hoping to integrate them into a family you will need a little socialization training regarding other pets. They tend to like being protective and the attention seeker, which may cause issues. You will find this is often a show dog or used for therapy because of their temperament. You will also find they need to have daily exercise if you hope to keep them healthy and happy. They do need to have yard space or parks that they can go to for running and playing. You should never leave this dog in the backyard unsupervised though. They tend to have issues escaping.

Care for your Papillon requires weekly grooming for their hair. They are medium shedders and they tend to get a little tangled during the week. You will also find they are prone to ear issues and the paws need to be trimmed at appropriate intervals. Health issues you may find with these dogs are cataracts, petalla luxation, and Von Willebrands disease.
