The teenager had a birthday bash at her family's Australia Zoo, in Queensland, and she looked like the spitting image of her father with her blond hair, khaki shirt, and shorts.
Along with a full audience in the stands, Bindi's mother, Terri, and her brother, Bob, were smiling as she Bindi cut her zoo-themed cake. The animal -lover vowed to continue her father's legacy after he passed away in 2006. We think he would be proud of the beautiful young lady she is becoming, and also pleased with her age-appropriate birthday celebration.

Re-reading http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/33156/5265; I find myself thinking if light, being EM in the humanly visible spectrum, may possess gravity - does a magnetic field also possess gravity?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free.
Per wikipedia, the electromagnetic tensor $F^{\mu \nu}$ contributes to the stress energy tensor $T^{\mu \nu}$ by
$$T^{\mu \nu} = \frac{1}{\mu_0} \left(F^{\mu \alpha} g_{\alpha \beta} F^{\nu \beta} - \frac{1}{4} g^{\mu \nu} F^{\gamma \delta} F_{\gamma \delta} \right)$$
The Einstein equations govern how the stress-energy tensor is coupled to spacetime curvature. Since the magnetic field is entirely captured by the electromagnetic tensor, the answer is yes, magnetic fields contribute to gravitation.

Birth control (also called contraception) can help you prevent pregnancy until you are ready for a baby. Some types of birth control can also help protect you and your sex partner from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
How do I choose the right birth control?There isn't one method of birth control that's right for everyone. Each type of birth control has pros and cons. Here are some things to think about when choosing a birth control method:
How does birth control work?It depends on the type of birth control you use. Here are some of the most common methods of birth control.
Intrauterine devices (IUDs)An IUD is a small, T-shaped piece of plastic with copper or hormones. It's put inside a woman's uterus by a doctor or nurse. There are 2 kinds:
An IUD is very effective at preventing pregnancy. A woman and her partner shouldn't be able to feel the IUD when it's in place.
If a woman decides she wants to get pregnant, the IUD can be removed easily by a doctor or nurse.
Hormonal methodsThese methods work by preventing a woman's ovaries from releasing an egg each month. They also cause other changes that make it more difficult to get pregnant.
Hormonal methods include:
Some hormonal methods work better than others, and some require more effort to use. For example, birth control pills have to be taken every day, but hormonal IUDs last for 3 to 5 years. Talk to your doctor about what makes sense for you.
Barrier methodsBarrier methods work by preventing the sperm and egg from touching each other. Common barrier methods include:
Male latex (rubber) condoms are also very effective in preventing HIV and reducing the risk of other STDs.
Natural family planning (NFP)NFP works by learning when the woman is more likely to get pregnant. People who want to prevent pregnancy don't have sex on these days or they use another method of birth control.
NFP is only an option for women who have regular periods. It may not be as effective at preventing pregnancies as some other forms of birth control, like IUDs or hormonal methods.
Couples can also use NFP when they want to get pregnant. Find out more about natural family planning.
Emergency contraceptionSometimes people forget to use birth control (for example, they miss a pill or shot) or their birth control fails (like if the condom breaks). There are 2 options for emergency contraception:
SterilizationSterilization is a permanent method of birth control. This is an option for people who are 100% sure they don't want any more children.
What types of birth control help prevent STDs?Next to abstinence (not having vaginal, anal, or oral sex), using a male condom made of latex is the best way to prevent some STDs, including HIV.
Barrier methods used inside the vagina, like the female condom and diaphragm, can also lower the risk of some STDs.
Non-barrier methods, like birth control pills and intrauterine devices (IUDs), don't prevent STDs. If you choose one of these methods, you will still need to use male latex condoms to help prevent HIV and other STDs.
Do I need to see a doctor to get birth control?It depends on which birth control method you choose. You can buy some birth control over the counter. Over the counter means you can buy it at a store without a prescription. For other methods, you will need to see a doctor or nurse.
Birth control methods you can get without a prescription include:
Birth control methods you can get only from a doctor or nurse include:
You need surgery or a medical procedure for:
Check out these resources to learn more about the different types of birth control:
Follow these steps to choose the right birth control for you.
Talk to a nurse, doctor, or family planning educator.Ask about the types of birth control that are available to you. Your age, number of sexual partners, and overall health can affect your choice. Answer these questions to get birth control recommendations.
What about cost?Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010, most insurance plans must cover birth control that's prescribed by a woman's doctor. They also must cover patient education and counseling about birth control for women.
Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get these services at no cost to you. Talk to your insurance company to learn more. For information about other services for women covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
Find free or low-cost services near you.If you don't have insurance that covers birth control, you may be able to get free or low-cost birth control through a family planning clinic or community health center.
Family planning clinics provide education, counseling, and medical services (including birth control). No one is turned away for not being able to pay. To find services near you:
Talk to your sex partner.Some types of birth control are used by men, and some types are used by women. You and your partner will both need to be comfortable with the method you choose.
When you both understand how a method works, it will be easier to use the method correctly.
Understand the instructions.Birth control only works if you use it correctly every time. Be sure you understand what you'll need to do to protect yourself from an unplanned pregnancy or an STD. If you have questions, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Check out these tips on how to use a condom correctly to help prevent HIV and other STDs.
Get tested for STDs.Most people who have an STD don't have any symptoms. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure you have one. If you think you may be at risk, talk to your doctor about getting tested.
To find a place to get tested:
Use these conversation starters to talk with your partner about getting tested, too.
Get tested for HIV.As with other STDs, getting tested for HIV is the only way you know if you have the disease. Take this list of questions about HIV testing to your next checkup.
You can get tested at a doctor's office or health center. To find an HIV testing center:

Comments On Aug 18, 2015:I put these on my 2007 Service Honda CR500AF build. Pegs lasted almost without wear until I just sold the bike in 2015. They were wider than stock, I never sharpened the spikes, they still looked like new. A+ and they will be going on my 2013 YZ 250 two smoker.

Comments On Apr 27, 2015:Much better than the stock pegs. The wider platform is more comfortable for standing on the pegs and improves overall control of bike.

Comments On Apr 01, 2015:Bought these for my 1986 Honda TLR 200 Reflex, I had to order the kawisaki 650 KLX (they have the same style) LOVE them, so much way better than the tiny stock pegs. The only thing I had to do was install a nylon washer on the right side so you can pull the peg up out of the way of the kick start and it will stay in place while starting.

Comments On Dec 22, 2014:worth the money, nice and wide, really helps with riding fatigue when woods riding and you won't slip off the pegs. Buy 'em.

Comments On Oct 12, 2014:I replaced my left footpeg on a 2005 KLR650, I'm 6'5" and 330 lbs and the stock peg was small and slick for my big feet. the right peg was already an IMS peg replaced by the PO.
I pulled the old peg in a few seconds by popping out the circlip and pulling the holder pin holding the peg.
the IMS footpeg comes with a torsion spring to hold the peg down and allow it to pivot up if you dump the bike.
there is a hook on the peg that looks like the L shaped leg of the spring hooks on. There is a U shaped part that hooks on the footpeg bracket, and an L shaped part that hooks on the peg itself.
I initially installed it with the U shaped part over the peg bracket, and the L shaped part of the spring in the groove where it looked like it was supposed to go. the footpeg was loose and wasn't springing back with authority like it should.
after looking at my other peg, I realized the L shaped part of the spring hooks right over the base of the footpeg, right next to the basket your boot sits on. Not on the little hook that has a groove where it appears it should go.
once I got the spring on straight, the peg was very solid, pivots easily and snaps right back with authority. it's broad and gives a good solid rest. I'd highly recommend them to replace the skinny slick stock pegs.

Comments On May 20, 2014:Had these on other bikes and they are OK but they were an interference with the kickstarter on the 650.

Comments On Apr 30, 2014:Decent price. Light years better than the stock pegs. Would recommend.

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:My stock peg was broken in the front corner, I chose these to replace them. They are far "grippier" than my stock ones and more comfortable with being wider. I did make a rookie mistake when installing these, not checking at home how your shift / rear brake levers are set up. With this peg being larger than my stock one, I wen't out on the track without thinking of making adjustments and was unable to get my boot under the shift lever properly.

Comments On Sep 07, 2013:A must have to replace the dangerouse stock KLR pegs unless you want your boots to slip of the rubber.
