AUSTIN (KXAN) – It is no secret that it has already been a hot summer in Texas, and, unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be cooling down any time soon. A brisk walk with your furry friend in the late afternoon or early evening may have you considering booking an appointment with a hairdresser to get rid of the dead weight on top of your head in a desperate attempt to lower your temperature.  Tips: Keeping your pets cool during hot Texas summers While shaving your head in the summer may be an appealing solution for a human – though some research shows it does not really help – veterinarians urge pet owners to not do the same for their dogs.

Thrash is Revived at the Regent

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:07:34 GMT

Thrash is Revived at the Regent: The thrash revival of the mid-to-late 2000’s threw some great bands into the metal-loving public’s ears, some of which had already been touring like dogs for years and were finally able to seize their opportunity.Municipal Waste is a great example; They formed in 2001, and by the middle of the decade they were household names (in niche households, admittedly). Two other names that enjoyed a similar trajectory are Denver’s Havok and Portland’s Toxic Holocaust.Putting the two of them on a bill together is a perfect, if low-hanging, idea. The fanbase here in L.A. is pretty much the same people and, most importantly, both have a string of fucking awesome records in their arsenals. Oh, and both have magnificent metal logos, which means a ton of impressive merch and some cool backdrops.Toxic Holocaust (Brett Callwood)Led by Joel Grind, the sole founder of the band, Toxic Holocaust raised hell, perhaps literally, in Los Angeles on Sa...

Spiders are beneficial garden inhabitants that are much more interested in feeding on insects rather than bothering humans. You might think of them as an eight-legged pest control service operating in your garden.Grass spiders spin funnel-shaped webs and wait for insects to walk or fly into them. Courtesy of PixnioSpiders are not insects; they are arthropods belonging to the order Araneae in the class Arachnida. In addition to the number of legs, they differ from insects in that they have only two body parts and they lack wings and antennae. They also have six to eight eyes, often arranged in two rows.Although most spiders do produce venom and have jaws ending in fangs, few can bite through human skin. The only exceptions common in California are the widow spiders, which spend most of their time hiding and rarely attack humans unless provoked. Spiders basic...
