Cameras, Inc.

I'm getting a Digital SLR camera for my boyfriend for Christmas this year, and I'm sure he has no idea how to use it. Has anyone taken any of the photography classes at Cameras, Inc.? Are they worth the money?

Dentist with Cerec machine near Somerville

[jimooo.livejournal.com]

I need to get a crown and want to find a dentist that has a Cerec machine so it can all be done in 1 visit. Has anyone had one of these done and/or know of a near by Dentist that can do it?

Any of the surrounding towns are fine, it doesn't have to be Davis Square. I just want someone who is *good*.

 

Missing Dog

[arialas.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

This is outside of Davis Square, but in case anyone walks their dogs in the Fells or goes biking/hiking there, I thought I'd reach out. My dog, Marisol, was in the woods this afternoon with her dog walker and puppy play group near Hutchins Rd. in Medford (behind Lawrence Memorial). The group of dogs was attacked by another dog, who happened to go for Marisol. One of the dogs in her group got between her and the attacker, and she ran.

By the time the owner of the aggressive dog got his dog under control and our dog walker had her group together, Marisol hadn't returned. Our dog walker called and searched for her for 15-20 minutes, and then called me at about 2:20 pm. My husband and I joined her, and we searched the woods and neighboring streets until it was dark. We've spoken with neighbors, called animal control in Medford and Winchester, and contacted local shelters.

We're certain she's hungry and frightened, and she may be injured. We know she was bitten, but we don't know how badly. She's a spayed, 20-25 lb, copper colored mutt (a Puerto Rican street dog we rescued when she was 7 months old). She's 3 years old now, and she's friendly and will respond to, "Marisol, come."

My husband and I are frantic about her and would appreciate it if anyone who sees her could give us a call at 617.383.9228. Here's a photo:



Thank you.

11/3 update: Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. We really appreciate your support. Marisol still hasn't been found, and there haven't been any sightings yet today. We've postered around the Fells, most heavily south of South Border Road where she went missing and was seen wandering last night. The few people who saw her said she appeared uninjured but was skittish and ran away from them. We think she's scared and has reverted to street dog mode -- super submissive and hiding until she's so hungry she has to scavenge. I've made a Google map of where she got lost + sightings, and here's a PDF of the flyer we've been posting. Any help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. We're so worried about her and devastated by what happened.

You can search the davis_square LJ community now

[ron_newman]

I added two new search forms to this community's profile page. One of them uses a Google custom search engine. The other one uses LiveJournal's own Yandex search engine, which seems to be new and totally unpublicized. I kept the LJSeek form too, but that search engine is close to useless.

Thanks go to smammy for suggesting this and showing me how to do it.

If anyone out there can tell me how to embed these forms into the davis_square community's LJ style, let me know. There used to be a magnifying-glass button that went to LJSeek, but it went away. I'd like to bring it back and make it point to our new search forms instead.

The Globe article says the suspect later died from his gunshot wound.
