The intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that, in a healthy animal, coexist in a beneficial, symbiotic relationship. They help digest food, produce vitamins, regulate the metabolism, and control a normal immune response. Probiotic bacteria promote a healthy intestinal environment by producing lactic acid and by secreting fatty acids that are helpful to the growth of other beneficial microorganisms.
Lactobacillus sporogenes is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that represents a breakthrough in probiotic supplementation. This beneficial bacteria is dormant in the bottle, then reverts to a growing bacteria in the intestines. Because of this, it resists being killed by stomach acid; in contrast, many Lactobacillus probiotics lose most or all of their potency before use and do not survive their trip through the stomach.

Sorry I'm late with my responce! I kept having to leave when I would get to this thread to read it...
I agree with you after watching it again. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
I tried to sing along on all of the takes, but my voice got a "little" hoarse after a while, so I didn't vocalize as much as I should've. And I'll keep the cross dissolves in mind too, as you're right that it is a bit too much.
I should have faded that door squeak out... And lights, definitely!
YouTube. I would of loved to take it off the original DVD I own, but couldn't figure out how to do that in my limited timeframe..
After watching them, I say it's a toss-up between Drapes and Daniel's entries.
I totally loved them as well!
You are right, it is squeaky.
The cows would hate me! Oh wait, they already hate me, so they'd be happy. That's right...
Here's the original if anyone is interested.
Thanks everyone! I enjoyed all the entries, but I'm still not sure whether I'd choose Drapes' entry or Daniel's. I liked them both! Good job to all!!

CCA in Canada: http://www.environmentaldefence.ca/reports/Arsenic_In_PlaygroundsFINAL.pdf–
Briefly back from holiday — what a nice surprise to see this covered. Thanks, Sarah.
Thank you also for the great comments, y'all !
- Price in Belgium is 3400 eur, including delivery, but without assembly. This is 4300 USD, at current rate. Not 30.000 usd. Did we include a typo somewhere ?
- The main point is this: most garden wood is preservative treated, and is really not suited for house or garden use.
"In addition, quite often, the wood used in garden equipment is preservative treated wood. CCA (chrome copper arsenide) preservative treated wood, recognizable with its greenish hue, will leach chrome VI (think 'Erin Brockovitch'), fluor and arsenic — a serious threat to human and environmental health. "
A 2004 European directive list these woods as toxic substances that should not be handled without gloves, because, there may not be a lower toxicological dose for arsenic. Meaning, that you don't need to accumulate a certain dose of arsenic in your body before health effects (carcinogen effect // genotoxic damage) start appearing. The link above leads you to a report on CCA in canada. The cynical aspect of it is that a large number of playgrounds have become highly contaminated because of the chrome VI and arsenic leaching from the playtoys.
Take care,

Yes….It's a very nice shed…..But $30,000.00 !!!???!!! Better try again.
July 14, 2006 at 8:48 pm
This costs $30k? I really like the design, but couldn't this be done with local materials for half that? Tongue-and-groove wood, 4×4 corner posts, angle-Al reinforcements and a plastic/fibreglass/plexiglass roof, plus some barn hardware for the door… Smells like – high margins…

[...] We've waxed lyrical about many a mini backyard prefab, (the FutureShed, the Modern Cabana, the MetroShed ) but the EcoSpace Garden Studio really takes the cake. This stylish little prefab is green in almost every way: it is constructed from sustainably harvested cedar, employs eco-friendly materials throughout the structure and interior, and even comes outfitted with a pre-built green roof! Starting at £15,850, its reasonably priced as well – although bathrooms, kitchens and necessary amenities cost extra. [...]

wow. can a shed be gorgeous? i want to live in it.

Great design. Appealing, sustainable, and compact. Love that it is well-partitioned for easy organisation.

Very nice design.

If you're like most online merchants, you've got an SEO program and PPC campaigns running, maybe some banner ads and perhaps even some affiliate marketing. And you've been tweaking and tuning this for months, quarters, and years. And still you've got a 3% conversion rate. Maybe a little higher, maybe a little lower.
There are many ways to increase your site traffic, and even to bring people back. And a whole industry around cart abandonment (the act of trying to bring back a customer who has decided not to purchase, and trying to get them to change their mind somehow). But at the end of the day, 97% of site traffic leaves without converting.
Seems to many that having spent an enormous amount of time and energy and money driving the traffic to your site, making the most of the current state of technology ability to understand your visitors behavior in real time is a good investment. There's a growing set of practices around understanding your visitors better, and converting them to customers, leads, or fans/followers.
If your conversion rate is an average of 2.4%, raising that to 2.7% is actually a 12.5% increase in conversions. Getting a little more detailed, lets say your 2.4% average conversion rate is made up of several different channels. Some have a high number of conversions, but at a lower revenue per conversion. Some have a low number of conversions, but a higher cart size. If you can determine the behavior of the low volume / large cart customers, you can positively impact their likelihood to purchase real time on your site by saying things to the right people at the right time. Similarly, if you could use behavioral targeting to focus specific messages on the lower revenue / higher volume customers, say by incentivizing them to increase their cart size at checkout next time they visit, then good things will happen.
There are lots of tools in your toolbox. Like building a store on main street, the first things you need are big, heavy tools: trucks to bring materials, saws and 2x4s and hammers, etc. No store, no customers. Same in e-commerce: you need a store, and you need to drive traffic to it. The big tools here are your cart platform, SEO, PPC. But once that's done, and you've got traffic coming, you don't use the hammer on them to get them to purchase. You engage them, interact with them, say and do things with them that are relevant to where they are in their decision process. For example, if you splash a discount across all products to all customers, you are leading with price and not with value. But the third time somebody visits your product page in two days, they are making a choice and are going to buy from somebody; closing the deal becomes important.
So rather than just keep hammering people through the front door and saying the same things to all visitors, perhaps do a little listening to what they are telling you in their behavioral clues. Then present them with content that is relevant. And take back some of your marketing budget.

Bears Advance to A-Sun Finals, Fall to ETSU
J. Andrew Lockwood
Senior Editor / Columnist
A near sell-out crowd in the University Center saw the final game of Mercer's basketball season come to an end with a 72-66 loss to the Atlantic Sun Champions, the East Tennessee State Buccaneers. After getting past Belmont 87-81 in the quarterfinals and Jacksonville 66-63 in the semifinals, it appeared that the Bears would be the first team to win the Atlantic Sun Conference championship on their home floor since Florida International did it in 1994.
Mercer's quarterfinal matchup against the Bruins had plenty on the line as star forward Daniel Emerson was knocked out of the game only a week ago with an eye injury. Belmont had also beat Mercer in the two matchups during the regular season as well as knocked off the Bears in last year's quarterfinal round of the A-Sun Championship.
After falling behind by as much as 14 points early in the first half due to hot shooting from Belmont's Ian Clark and Drew Hanlen, Mercer led a furious comeback in the second half in route to shooting 65.2% from the field to win by six points. James Florence would play all 40 minutes, finishing with 24 points and making key free throws down the stretch. Inside, Daniel Emerson was able to overmatch Jon House and Mick Hedgepeth with 19 points and 9 rebounds while teammate Jeff Smith chipped in 16 points to bring the University Center crowd to their feet.
"It was a great advantage to be at home," commented Emerson after the game. "Anytime in the first or second half when we started to feel a little flat, they did a great job of picking us up. I loved having the Mercer student section near us tonight: I think we might want that to be a permanent move," he added.
The second night, Mercer faced a familiar A-Sun foe in Jacksonville. Always a physical battle in nature, the Bears battled through 13 lead changes to finally come out on top by three, 66-63. Jumping out to an early lead, the Dolphins and Bears would exchange baskets for most of the first half until Mercer's 12-3 run to start the second half allowed them to pull away.
Led by guard Ben Smith, Jacksonville valiantly fought back, fouling Florence with 15 seconds left. Florence would sink a pair of free throws to give Mercer a three point lead before the Dolphins aimed to take a last second shot to tie the game. Unfortunately, everyone in the UC Arena knew that it would have to be Smith taking the shot. Keying on the Dolphins' best shooter, Florence was able to deflect the final shot to win the game, sending Mercer to the A-Sun finals for the first time since 1996.
While Florence only managed 8 points during the contest, Emerson would drop another double-double with 21 points and 18 rebounds, followed by Jeff Smith's 18 points. JU's Ben Smith would lead the Dolphins with 19 points on the night.
The championship final, televised on ESPN2, featured an ETSU 20-14 (13-7) team that had defeated Campbell and Kennesaw State as well as Mercer. With 3,200 fans on hand, ETSU found a way to stop Mercer's offense with a zone defense that keyed on Florence and Emerson, beating the Bears for the first time in three contests this season to advance to the NCAA tournament.
Another slow start plagued the Bears from the beginning as they fell behind 9-0 before Emerson sank a jump shot to cut the lead. Mercer's offense caught fire late in the first as E.J. Kusnyer hit three consecutive three-point field goals to tie the game, but ETSU was able to put two more points on the scoreboard to lead at halftime 37-35.
"We felt like we would take the lead, but we just couldn't get a stop," said Emerson. "They did a great good on us and had a good gameplan. We just had too many turnovers," he added.
Fouls and tough officiating calls plagued Mercer for a good part of the second half with Brian Mills and E.J. Kusnyer on the bench for a good part of the period, yet the Bucs never led by more the 6 points. ETSU made the shots that mattered down the stretch to pull out the victory, repeating as A-Sun champs for the second year in a row. Kusnyer would lead Mercer with 16 points (five 3-pointers) to tie Campbell's Eric Smith (2005-06) for the most three-pointers in one season (107). Additionally, Florence would finish with 9 points, finalizing his place atop the Mercer scoring charts at 2,287 points.
Florence's total ranks 142nd in NCAA Division I history for career points scored. Forward Daniel Emerson also made a mark in his final game as a Bear as the senior grabbed 13 rebounds to set the Atlantic Sun Conference season rebound record at 385. Emerson finishes out the year ranked as the #3 rebounder in the nation.
"These guys are special," head coach Bob Hoffman relayed during the post-game press conference. "It's about who they are and how they go about their business. The game didn't turn out as we wanted, but that wasn't because they didn't give it all they had. It's a blessing for me to coach young men like these guys," Hoffman added.

What makes your bags and leather pieces unique and special?
We set out to make the kind of accessories that we wanted to carry around. Our handcrafted line favors classic shapes, and perfect proportions that telegraph effortless refinement without flash or fussiness. It features a conspicuous lack of hardware, which makes our pieces lighter. We also employ different textures of leather in the same color family, so they are not only visually interesting but also exhibit luxurious tactile qualities.
What is important about the value of handmade quality?
When you buy handcrafted goods, you forge a relationship with the designer and the product. The value in buying artisanal handcrafted goods is the direct support for a high level of skilled craftsmanship and artistry. All of our items are made in small editions, not mass-produced. Your investment in buying handcrafted goods shows your appreciation and desire to support the creator and her trade at a local level.
Since V&V opened its doors, The Best of The Triangle Indy Week Awards have played a huge part in helping our business to thrive.

Merci beaucoup to everyone that participated in our Urban Ministries of Durham Day last Saturday. We're so excited to announce that together we raised $2,000 for UMD! Even better?

Casablanca Finance City promoted a new model for African finance at the New York Forum Africa this week.
Said Ibrahimi, Chief Executive of Casablanca Finance City, participated as an expert panellist at the Forum, which took place in Libreville, Gabon, on 8-10 June.
Morocco is already home to over 2,500 international businesses, some of which are looking to expand and take advantage of untapped potential in the region. Casablanca Finance City will bring together businesses operating across Greater North West Africa under the umbrella of a trusted label, and will help investors to navigate barriers and facilitate ease of doing business.
Said Ibrahimi said:
"African countries must work together to ensure international traders and investors can keep their dealings with our diverse markets as simple and economical as possible. A new financial hub to service north and west Africa is essential to provide investors with the consolidation and economies of scale they need to participate in Africa's exciting transformation."
Casablanca Finance City aims to aggregate the significant opportunities on offer across diverse African markets, remove traditional barriers to investment and provide investors with the economies of scale they need to take full advantage of growth potential in "Greater North West Africa" (GNWA), a region with great potential but largely uncharted in investment terms.
Through a live ecosystem of international business, financial institutions and professional services Casablanca Finance City will facilitate growth in the region by providing a gateway to GNWA. - APO

Abstract: | Purpose – At the core of how societies operate, lies social interaction. Organizations as significant social bodies rely on social interaction both to get things done in order to remain sustainable and to also impart a contribution to the wider society. Understanding the dynamics of social interactions in the way social agents and social action take place through the lens of social practice theory could yield powerful insights both about practices of socialization as well as the socialization of practices. The purpose of this paper is to fundamentally reveal the tensions that such interactions expose and the dynamics in negotiating individual and collective priorities. Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents a conceptual approach on the links to be established between practice and socialization. Findings – This paper focuses on how a practice perspective provides valuable insights about how social agents get things done in organizations. Research limitations/implications – This paper is linked with other papers in this issue where the dynamics in negotiating individual and collective priorities reveal the tensions that such interactions expose ("transaction"). This paper provides a useful foundation for examining why organization practices tend to have an institutional character. This issue reveals new possibilities for appreciating the emergent nature of socialization both as a practice and a process striving towards institutionalization. Originality/value – This paper explores socialization as a practice that can provide new insights into the dynamics of social interaction. |

AUD/USD Elliott WaveLast week the AUD/USD par was moving upwards developing 1 and 2 wave (coloured blue). During the Friday's European session we could observe descending movement toward the 0.9820 level. We can consider this move as the end of the 2 wave (coloured blue). Therefore during the New York session the AUD/USD pair started pushing higher and price reached the 0.9940 level (new daily high). Today during the early Asian session we could observe 45 pips' gap in this currency pair and the price reached a new high at the 1.0007 level. We can consider this move as the end of the 1 wave (coloured pink) of the bigger 3 wave (coloured blue). At the moment we are in the corrective 2 wave and we expect to see price around 0.9900 today. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave 2 retraces 61.8% of the wave 1, we can define the potential targets Fibonacci retracement (0.9820 -1.0007) with Take Profit 1 at 0.9892 (61.8% of wave 1) and Take Profit 2 at 0.9861 (78.6% of wave 1). Resistance level at 1.0010 can be used as a Stop Loss point. Also it is necessary to monitor the U.S. FOMC Member Lockhart Speech data that can change the rate of the pair.
Support and Resistance Levels(S3) 0.9770 (S2) 0.9816 (S1) 0.9844 (PP) 0.9890 (R1) 0.9936 (R2) 0.9964 (R3) 1.0010
Trading ForecastProceeding from Elliott Wave Rules this week, the trend is expected to begin the downward movement. That is why Short positions at level 0.9950 with Stop Loss at 1.0010, Take Profit 1 at 0.9892 and Take Profit 2 at 0.9861 are recommended.

In a March letter (attached) to the U.S. Post Office Sen. Gillibrand asked, "Why a post office officially named by Congress through an act of law cannot also bear the name of the honored person in some way on the façade of the building."
The response (attached) received in April details two of the reasons why this is the case; the first being fairness and the second being that, "the Postal Service is not equipped to administer added commemoration."
Statement from Sen. Gillibrand's Office:
"For the last two years, Senator Gillibrand has worked closely with the Smith family to make sure their son Lance Corporal Zachary Smith gets the recognition he deserves in his hometown for making the ultimate sacrifice. Senator Gillibrand is disappointed by the U.S. Postal Service's repeated refusal to place the marker on the federal property. As a result, Senator Gillibrand is continuing to work with the Smith family on new legislation that would permit postal facilities to allow markers on their grounds, similar to other federal buildings."

"Always coming out ready with a lot of energy has been a little bit of a struggle this year. Tonight, I thought we were ready," Starmount Coach Jeffery Hague said.
In the first quarter, the Rams hit five three-pointers to jump out to the 22-8 lead.
Dylan Pardue helped lead the Rams in the first quarter, with three three-pointers, while Fondae McDaniel and Charlie Wagoner each added one of their own.
The Rams didn't slow down in the second quarter either.
Jacob Riley, Christian Hurt, and Wagoner each added another six points to help the Rams lead the Red Devils 46-15 heading into halftime.
"I think part of that is them not just not knowing a whole lot about us, like we didn't know a whole lot about them. And our shooters just getting open looks and knocking them down tonight," Hague said.
Starmount continued to press the offensive throttle in the second half, and added another 32 points.
Still, the Red Devils were able to go on a 9-2 run to end the third quarter, and breathe a bit of life into Newton-Conover's offense.
However, the Rams cruised down the stretch for the 78-36 reason, and punched their ticket to the second-round game.
Charlie Wagoner and Jacob Riley combined for 28 points, knocking down 14 each, while Christian Hurt chipped in with 10 points of his own.
While the Rams were lights-out on the offensive side, big defensive plays gave the Rams plenty of opportunities to score.
"On the defensive end is where we have to bring it every night in the playoffs for us to have a chance. I thought the intensity level was great," Hague said.
For Newton-Conover, Cameron and Dorian Shuford each reached double digits. Cameron led the Red Devils with 13 points, while Dorian added 11,
"I think the most fun part (about the post-season) is playing against people you've never played against before," Hague
The number two seed, Shelby Golden Lions, defeated Pisgah 72-56 in the opening round, and faced Starmount Wednesday evening with a 9-14 overall record.
"You get to the post-season and you have to step up to the challenge. Sometimes you don't know a lot about the other team and so you have to come in focused and ready to play," Hague said.
At press time, results were unavailable.

A variation of the original Chelsi style earring, which was designed for my cousin for her graduation. This earring is full of charm. Bright enough to stand out, warm enough to blend in, and a very distinguished form. The Vernal Equinox alternate is inspired by the blossoming colors of spring! The shells are dyed spring green and the glass beads are a beautiful shade of brown. The Nightclub variation is longer with an additional shell feature. The extra length makes this earring extraordinarily more sexy. A great feature of these earrings is that the glass beads are free to spin, creating a more free-flowing shape.
Primary: Spring Green Shell ring and Colored glass beads with painted accent color
Secondary: Brown seed beads
Metal: Copper
Length (from crest of hook) = 3-3/4"
Hook Type: French hook
Weight (per earring) = .2 oz

The lead investigator in the Trayvon Martin case said murder defendant George Zimmerman could have defused the confrontation with the unarmed teenager if he would have identified himself as a neighborhood watch leader.
Sanford detective Chris Serino said in a written report released Tuesday that Zimmerman verbally confronted Martin but didn't identify himself before the physical fight ensued and he shot and killed the 17-year-old.
Serino is reluctant to believe that Zimmerman's life was in danger, according to the documents.
"Investigative findings show the physical injuries by George Michael Zimmerman are marginally consistent with a life-threatening violent episode as described by him, during which neither a deadly weapon nor deadly force was deployed by Trayvon Martin," wrote Serino.
Serino voluntarily requested a reassignment Tuesday afternoon to the patrol division.
Serino recommended after his initial investigation that Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter in the unarmed teenager's Feb. 26 shooting death.
The police statement says Serino made the reassignment decision "of his own volition." He will begin his new assignment in July.
Another investigator wrote that on the night of the shooting, two lie detector tests given to Zimmerman found he wasn't lying about what happened.
On the computerized voice stress analysis document a check mark is visible next to the text, "The examinee has told substantially the complete truth in regards to this examination."
The results of such tests are usually not admissible in court.

Cleanthony Early: 39 in comeback win. Gregg Marshall: Coach of the Year?
Jan 10, 2013, 10:04 AM EDT
You see that picture to the right?
The one right next to this text?
It's Cleanthony Early, and that's a picture of him not giving a good gull dern about Wichita State's injury issues.
The Shockers are missing three starters — that includes their best perimeter shooter, Ron Baker, and Carl Hall, who, at the time of his injury, was the team's leading scorer and rebounder. Throw in the fact that the Shockers were supposed to be in the midst of a rebuilding year because, you know, they lost their top five scorers from a season ago, and there wouldn't be a single person that would be surprised if Gregg Marshall's club was scooting along in the bottom half of the always-crazy Missouri Valley.
But no.
After an 82-76 win over Southern Illinois on Wednesday night, Wichita State is 15-1 on the season, 4-0 in the Valley ranked in the top 25. And Early is the biggest reason why. The 6-foot-8 JuCo transfer and Middletown, NY, native went for 39 points in last night's win, shooting 13-19 from the floor and 5-9 from three as the Shockers came back from an 11 point halftime deficit to beat the Salukis. This came just one game after Early went for 24 points as the Shockers knocked off Bradley on the road.
Now it would be tough to credit Marshall for Early's performance the past two games. That's simply a great player being a great player.
But it is easy to credit Marshall for putting his team and his program in a position where they are not only prepared to weather the departure of their top five scorers, but the injury to three starters the following season as well. Marshall is consistently underrated and forgotten when discussing the best coaches in the country, but there no one has done a better job than he has this season.
With all due respect to Tubby Smith, John Groce, Larry Shyatt and every other coach having a great year, if the season ended today, Gregg Marshall would get my mythical vote for National Coach of the Year.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Neil Walker hit a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the eighth inning as the Pirates took a 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks in the rubber match of a three-game set at Chase Field on Wednesday.
With the game tied at 1-1, Arizona starter Daniel Hudson recorded the first two outs in the eighth, but surrendered back-to-back singles before being lifted in favor of David Hernandez. Walker then lofted a fly ball into no- man's land in shallow right field that found grass, scoring Clint Barmes from second for the go-ahead run.
Brad Lincoln (1-0) tossed three scoreless innings of one-hit ball in relief of starter James McDonald, who lasted just four innings. Lincoln struck out four and walked three after being called up earlier on Wednesday to replace pitcher Jeff Karstens, who was sent to the 15-day disabled list.
"That's part of the job. You have to come in and get your mind right and be prepared for the game, regardless of the circumstances," said Lincoln about being called up earlier in the day. "For the most part I was able to do that today and go out there and just battle and get the team the win."
Juan Cruz worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to nail down his second save of the year. Pedro Alvarez added a solo homer and Andrew McCutchen finished with two hits for the Pirates, who took two straight from Arizona after dropping the series opener.
Hudson (1-1) hurled 7 2/3 innings and was charged for both runs on six hits and three walks. Aaron Hill and Jason Kubel each had two hits for the Diamondbacks, who finished with just five as a team.
"We didn't capitalize on our opportunities," admitted Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "We have to give Pittsburgh a little bit of credit. Six of their last seven runs they've scored with two outs."
Willie Bloomquist opened the bottom of the first with a triple into the gap in right-center field and scored two batters later when Kubel laced a fastball back up the middle, giving Arizona a 1-0 lead.
Hudson retired the first two hitters in the seventh, but left a 2-0 changeup up in the zone and Alvarez ripped it over the wall in right, pulling the Pirates even at 1-1.
