Westi, Diana and I are at WordCamp. We're in the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco – took us a while to find it, but we did okay. We got our official WordCamp shirts. We found some back seats in the balcony, and we're listening to the first presentation on PodPress, a podcasting plugin for WordPress.
There are 300+ attendees and it seems the wifi got swamped and went down, but it's back up now.
My highlight so far is getting a glimpse of Matt Mullenweg and confirming for my own satisfaction that he's every bit as adorable in person as he is online. Not only does he have the distinction of being the founding developer of WordPress at a very young age, he comes off as an extremely pleasant and gracious human being.
The WordCamp speakers
I'm not so excited about podcasting as I don't plan to do it for myself, but still, it's good to know I can encourage potential podcasters/customers of Cruzio to use WordPress and PodPress to publish themselves.
More in a bit…
John Dvorak is up now, the professional jerk, I mean journalist ;-) He's staying true to form, made a putdown joke within a minute of opening his mouth.
Om Malik is saying something nice about bloggers being aware that you're telling an ongoing story that grows from hour to hour (or day to day).
They seem to be talking now about why traditional news media are declining. Om Malik says some bloggers will become better and better reporters and with the power to publish immediately will succeed.
Hah! John Dvorak is pointing out the temptations of bloggers to focus on trivial news. Okay, he just admitted he does it too, at least. Oh, he just plugged his blog URL again… now he's criticizing bloggers for constantly criticizing traditional media… what a joker. I cannot take this man seriously AT ALL.
putting laptop to sleep so I'll have juice for more interesting stuff later.
Om Malik just said something like "[as a blogger] you get to decide what kind of bartender you want to be. You can be a good bartender or a crazy bartender. You set the tone for the people coming to drink in your bar." (speaking about comments and hostile/idiotic commenters)
Dvorak just said "Your story has to have a factoidal basis". Honest, I am not kidding!!!
OK, after lunch… Lorelle wanted to give us all a free copy of her book of blogging tips! But UPS didn't get them here. Bummer.
Her topic: Kicking ass content. I love her stage presence and delivery. She's a natural.
The best thing she told us: leave holes in your content so your readers will fill them in with the comments. Encourage participation by posting a list of 6 or 7 great things instead of 10; then your readers will comment, oh you forgot this one, and this one, and this one.
OK, it's Sunday now. Sorry. I very typically started out strong and quickly faded as tiredness and headache set in.
To continue on Lorelle: I loved that she exhorted us to be friendly and helpful to other bloggers and help each other succeed. Team spirit! Her main focus was on blogging as conversation, between bloggers and readers, between blogger and blogger. Good stuff. I think I'll have to buy her book since I didn't get a free one. Every blogger should subscribe to Lorelle on WordPress.
I also enjoyed the presentation on getting involved with WordPress. They want our help, but we get to choose what we want to do. Lorelle said they need folks to help with documentation, specifically screencast how-tos. I think I might try making one.
There was a presentation on blog design which wasn't so exciting but got me thinking about what elements are essential on my blog, and which I can get rid of. I took down my weather listing from my sidebar.
Last was Matt Cutts of Google who gave us scads of info about search engine optimization for our blogs. The facts came too fast and furious for me to note, though I knew some of them already. I do hope Matt keeps his promise to post his presentation notes on his blog, which I'm subscribing to from now on.
Stephanie Booth took very thorough notes of the day.
WordCamp attendees
In between the official stuff, I managed to briefly meet Lori Berkowitz, who has a very cool personal blog and a cool site design business; Mary Kolesnikova, who started a provocative blog and seems to have many creative, geeky projects going; and three smart, successful Web designers who flew out from New Hampshire and who sat in the row in front of us. Sorry guys, didn't get your names.
I didn't meet the photographer, but he took a very nice photo of Westi and Diana.
Overall, the day was a thrilling inspiration. The WordPress community is not only thriving, it's welcoming and spirited. I look forward to participating and contributing more.

By Rhishja Cota-Larson
Law enforcement authorities in South Africa say that game farmers and reserve owners are killing their own rhinos and selling the horns. Those involved in the profit-making scheme have either attempted to conceal the killings or pretended to be victims of "poaching incidents", according to IOL/Cape Times.
The public revelation does not come as a surprise, as this has long been speculated upon privately by close observers of South Africa's rhino crisis.
A source apparently gave the Cape Times five names, which included Dawie Groenewald and Hugo Ras.
Groenewald is perhaps best known for being arrested in September 2010 (along with his wife Sariette, veterinarians Karel Toet and Manie du Plessis, and professional hunters) for his alleged involvement in the illegal rhino horn trade. Shortly after Groenewald's arrest, 20 dehorned rhinos were found in a mass grave on his property.
Ras was arrested in August 2011 and charged with illegal possession of a firearm and scheduled veterinary drugs. Ras has a conservation crime record which stretches back to at least 2001.
Both Groenewald and Ras are currently out on bail, awaiting their next court appearances.
South African Hunters and Game Conservation Association's deputy president, Gerhard Verdoorn, also told the Cape Times that he knew of "a suspicious case in KwaZulu-Natal where a game farm owner did not want police to investigate the dehorning of one of his rhinos and had warned his staff members not to talk about the incident".
However, it's not only South Africa's private rhino owners who are willing to profit from the deaths of the animals they claim to be "conserving".
In 2010, JJ "Kobus" van der Westhuizen (owner of Letsatsi La Africa) told Carte Blanche that he was granted CITES permits to euthanize 20 lions so he could sell their bones.

We have a lot of people reading this blog on their Kindle's, and I am going to set this message up to send out approximately once a month: if you've seen it before and know what I'm talking about, or if you're just plain 'ole tired of seeing it don't worry – I'll be back with a new post soon.
There seems to be a slight Kindle problem for a lot of folks – that is, what do you need to do if (a) this or any other blog all of a sudden stops updating each day on the Kindle, and (b) you can see it in the to be downloaded list of the "Manage Your Kindle" section of the Amazon website.
You will need to write this down, or try to memorize it, because if it happens to you I'm willing to bet you won't remember unless you've reset your Kindle a few times!
If you would like to print this out, click here to read a post from the Free Kindle Books Plus a Few Other Tips blog on how to capture screen shots on your Kindle.
If this happens to you, you will need to reboot your Kindle. Here is how you do it:
Once you do that, it will take about 1-2 minutes to reboot. Make sure your wireless is on, and the Kindle will go look in the Amazon store to see what is pending to be downloaded and viola! You should be back in business. If you ever need to restart your Kindle, I hope this helps!

Thank you!
I am impressed with the kindness of the Amazon Kindle community! As you know, I have been running a promotion – over the past week, for each purchase of my new book, Kindle Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts, I promised to donate 100% of the profits to an organization called the East Texas Foodbank. The promotion ended at 4:00 on Saturday, and I am happy to report this fine organization will receive $106.40!
These guys can make $1 feed 8 people – and there are a lot of folks who don't have something many of us take for granted such as a hot meal. If you would like to check out the organization, and possibly make a contribution, you can visit their website at http://www.easttexasfoodbank.org/
Thanks again!

Seeing as how you are a captive audience, I thought I would update you on a few things…
My Kindle 3 Delivery
About a week or so ago, I told you I had read of many people who didn't have delivery dates for the K3 were looking for ways to speed up the process. What did they do? They went in to their open orders section of the Amazon website and changed the shipping option from two days to one day delivery and presto! They were shot to the front of the list! I tried that, and it gave me an early delivery date, so I, of course, told you about it and many of you did the same. I heard from many of you who took that advice, and you are now enjoying your new K3 – congratulations!
That strategy backfired on me. Here I was, sitting all fat, dumb, and happy with a release date – I woke up last Friday with a Monday expected arrival date, and I logged into the Amazon website on Monday morning to track the package.
There was no package to track: the status had changed to something along the lines of "shipping soon but we can't give you a date." When I logged in before heading to work yesterday, the status had changed and they were preparing it to ship and last night, they sent me a tracking number.
As I sit here again on a Friday morning prepared to head to work, I see it has arrived in Houston and is ready for delivery – I'll be hitting the refresh button on the UPS website until it shows up (I'm setting this up to hit the blog wire after lunch – I hope to be holding my new K3 when it is set to be posted).
The ironic thing is Amazon shipped me the cover last week, as if to tease me as I stare at it Kindleless. I've initiated the transfer of the books I have in the "to be read" pile to the new Kindle (there's about 50), so I'm ready. This way, the lady at work who enjoys telling (and showing) me about her new K3 can now quit harassing me.
I'll let you know my thoughts on the K3 in the coming weeks. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say, too.
East Texas Foodbank Drive
Last week, I challenged each of you to buy my latest book called Kindle Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts where I will donate 100% of the proceeds I receive (a whopping 35 cents per book sold) to a charity called the East Texas Foodbank for all sales through 4:00 p.m. central time tomorrow (Saturday). You can read the original post if you click here. As I mentioned in the original post, these folks know how to stretch a dollar, and can make just $1 feed 8 people.
I'm running this promotion for two reasons – and one of them will look selfish: sure, I will sell more books – I am a strong believer in capitalism and that's the general idea with commercial endeavors. Many people think I am making a lot of money off of this, but they are sadly mistaken – with a royalty rate of 35 cents per book sold, I'm not going to go very far if this were my sole source of income. But here's the irony – while I'm a strong believer in capitalism, I'm making zero off of this one as I am donating 100% of the proceeds Amazon would give me to charity.
I'm very fortunate in that I still have my job, my health, and my family is fine. However, during the last recession my company went under and I didn't have a steady paycheck for a while; I understand the feeling of frustration and panic people may have right now. This recession has hurt more than the last, and I think it is my responsibility to give back. There are a lot of people without jobs and the basic necessities of life, and the last thing I want to hear about is people going without food.
So, I thought I would beg: 99 cents – that's all I'm asking from you between now and 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. Of that 99 cents, 64 of it goes to Amazon and 35 of it will go to feed hungry families. If three people buy the book, that will feed 8 people.
You can pick up the US version if you click here or type in http://tinyurl.com/ktipsusa into your web browser; the UK version can be found if you click here or type in http://tinyurl.com/ktipsuk into your web browser.
I looked at where we stand as of this morning – through your support we've raised $65.80 for this organization: 185 in the US Kindle store and just 3 in the UK Kindle store, or enough to feed 526 people. My personal goal was enough to feed 1,000 – I hope we make it!
If you've purchased the book, thank you – if you haven't, that's ok. But if you are still not persuaded, here's a list of the tips you will receive in the book:
• Archived Items
• Battery Replacement
• Calculator Functionality
• Checking Your Email
• Collections
• Converting PDF Documents to Kindle Format
• Discussion Boards
• Displaying the Time
• Download Problems – What To Do

• Screen Freeze Fix
• Screenshots – Printing Out What You See

I'll be back with a final tally at the conclusion of the drive.
Labor Day
Monday is a holiday in the USA, and I will be traveling with my family this weekend. I have setup some posts to deliver over the weekend, but I may be a little slower than usual in returning emails, etc.
Have a great weekend!

"When in doubt,wear red." – Bill Blass
Red as you may already know,is having a moment,certainly there is no need for the holiday season to have red in the limelight. Red is a colour that can make you look the right amount of intimidating,even when present within highlights in your ensemble. It's so bold yet classic that you can think of it like you would a black dress. I believe Red should deserve a place among all the neutrals. A women's wardrobe is incomplete without red,black and white.
Wondering where my t-shirt's from? Style Address it is,your one stop destination for all things cool. My t-shirt says 'I am not a Princess. I am a Khaleesi',Game of Thrones watchers/fans would get this quote.That's what ,slogan tees are – an awesome yet sneaky way to make powerful statements, letting people know how you feel about television shows,books and of course life in general without saying a word. The best part about slogan t-shirts are that they aren't a trend which is gonna go out of style tomorrow,it is more of a lifestyle choice that stays with you thick and thin.
History always tends to repeat itself in the beauty and fashion world. The resurgence of the 90's has brought back with itself,chokers. Be it Kendal Jenner,the next door girl or your favourite fashion blogger all are sporting the choker. I love how it's delicate,different and give the edgy (think- rockstar vibe) to even the simplest of looks.
The three type of chokers you must all own-
1. Wire Chokers
2. Lace Chokers- They add the sophisticated and elegant touch,along with a sprinkle of feminity.
3. Velvet Chokers – They are simply chic. You can never go wrong wearing velvet.
I have been wanting to get a choker for so long now,Shop Del was kind enough to send me a choker set,consisting of a wired choker,bracelet and a wired ring.
Hope you liked this post 🙂 I know it was kinda all over the place.

My father had told me stories about this mountain where you're surrounded by the fairies of the source of the immortal water.The dreadful queenStyx lived on this sacred mountain, Zeus' ally in his war with the Titans. She had the power to punish the Olympian gods if they broke their oaths. Her palace was in front of the Gate of Ades, the gate to the Underworld, to death. It's no wonder why the locals had respected that place and considered the opening of roads and the intrusion of technology on the sacred slopes that had been protected by the millennium-lasting awe, a hubris, an abuse.
I wished my father's stories had been true. I wished I could invoke the ancient spirits to protect Christopher and me. But reality was so uninspiring, so dramatic and terrible at the same time.

Quantity demanded is the single response to a price change.
The lower the price of a product, other things constant, the higher the quantity demanded.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
– Mark Twain
Indulge me on this posting as the subject matter is one of my favorites: international education.
My first trip overseas was with my parents to visit Greece. Dad was a professor of education at the University of Iowa and he taught the senior reading course at the University High School. The anchor to the course was an intellectual journey through Plato's Republic; it was a popular but challenging course. So when the short-sighted administrators decided to close U-High, all Dad's students from years past organized, raised funds, and presented my parents with two plane tickets so that they could visit the very sites from Plato's Greece that Dad had taught about so many years….. Of course, they needed someone to carry their bags and I was the lucky one to go along.
I'll never forget the fabulous Greek food, the honking cars, the dusty roads, and the fascinating history. And then there was Greek mythology, which I devoured.
From these memories, I knew that the entire overseas experience transformed my perspective on life and would form an important pillar in my philosophy as an educator. And when I learned, as a candidate for the provost position, that RIT had overseas campuses, I knew that RIT had an "unfair advantage" for my attention.
Now I hope few would argue that our approach here at RIT to international education has changed over the years, in an intentional way. From student learning outcomes focused on international and multicultural awareness, to faculty-led study abroad trips, from student exchange agreements, to international co-op experiences, from faculty international research collaborations, to hosting international university visitors, and from global campuses in Croatia and Dubai, to the position of Associate Provost for Global Programs and International Education - RIT now has what is best described as a tremendous foundation as an international campus.
If you need more convincing, here are just a few examples:
But the story gets better.
Our population of international students here on the RIT campus continues to grow; this year we have exceeded 2,100 students on campus and since 2010 this population has grown over 34%. While the number of RIT students going on a study abroad experience is astonishingly small (about 325 per year), the number continues to increase each year. And since 2010, the number of students at our overseas campuses have risen 24%.
On top of this, we have been deeply engaged with the RIT trustees to map out a strategic direction for international education at RIT. With the help of a group of committed faculty working together with Dr. Jim Myers, there has been great progress and I am extremely pleased with the emerging goals for RIT.
But the story does not end here because we have a lot more work ahead to truly make RIT a leading global university. We need to make study abroad experiences more affordable to our students, we need to internationalize the curriculum focusing on the key student learning outcomes our faculty have identified, we need to answer the question why RIT graduates are not required to be proficient in a second language, and we need to be in a variety of contrasting but strategic places across the world in order to maximize the impact on our students.
We have all seen the changes that occur to a student who discovers the world is both a small and large place through a thoughtfully-designed set of international experiences. With dedication and hard work, we can make RIT a stellar international institution and our graduates will be exceptional global citizens. Let's do this.

Hello and welcome to Doggy's Digest – the best resource on the internet for probiotics for dogs and puppies! Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. We sincerely hope you find our website interesting, informative and most of all, useful for optimizing and maintaining your dog's excellent health from puppyhood to adulthood to his golden years as a senior K9.
The Right Probiotics for Your Dog
Does your dog suffer from diarrhea, infections, allergies, and other persistent health ailments? Do you want to give them probiotics but are worried about side effects? Then try Probiotics for Dogs from Tails 'N' Tummies! Dog parents, just like you, have seen improvements in their dogs with only one dose a day and no side effects.Learn More
In response to concerned canine owners frantically searching for a natural alternative to antibiotics, makers of probiotics for k9s have enlisted the assistance of veterinarians, bacteriologists and animal nutritionists for the purpose of developing superior probiotic supplements specially formulated for all canine breeds. The best probiotics contain host-specific bacteria beneficial to a k9's overall health and well-being. In fact, canine probiotics have become so popular with canine owners that surveyed veterinarians report experiencing a significant reduction in the number of dog owners bringing their dogs in for antibiotic treatment.
About Dog Probiotics
So what are probiotics and how do they keep your canine energetic, healthy and out of the vet's office? To begin, canine probiotics are NOT the same kind of probiotics humans take to improve their health. Never give your canine probiotics meant for human consumption because they won't work and could cause a canine to experience vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that already exist in your k9's intestines. Due to illness, change in diet, medications and even stress, a condition called dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance, allows "bad" bacteria to overwhelm the "good" bacteria living in your k9's GI tract. Dysbiosis directly reduces immune system functioning in affected canines, making them vulnerable to everything from chronic diarrhea and malnutrition to skin diseases, allergies (both seasonal and environmental) and a variety of infections. What probiotics do is restore balance to the gut flora so that "good" bacteria proliferate and out-populate harmful bacteria in the dog's intestine.
Once released into a k9's intestines, probiotics begin to manufacture enyzmes and vitamins vital to optimizing immune system function. Probiotic bacteria also prevent "bad" bacteria from reproducing so that your dog's health stabilizes at peak level.
When purchasing probiotic supplements, be aware that the best k9 probiotics will:
- Contain host-specific bacteria meant for canines, not people
- Be able to survive the acidic conditions of your k9's stomach as they pass into his intestines
- Provide sufficient amounts of live bacteria to colonize his intestines and eradicate "bad bacteria"
- Contain more than nine strains of probiotic bacteria (the more strains a probiotic supplement for k9s contains, the better!)
Enhancing your dog's GI tract with a diversity of probiotic strains ensures the canine's intestines contain enough variety of "good" bacteria to protect him against all the "bad guy" bacteria. For example, the L. plantarum bacteria helps prevent viral infections; L. salivarius attacks fungal infections; L streptococci protects k9s against IBD (irritable bowel syndrome) and colitis; and L. rhamnosus has been shown in studies to dramatically reduce instances of respiratory illness and diarrhea in canines.
10 Amazing Facts About Canine Probiotics
1. Probiotic bacteria thrive throughout your k9's body, although the majority are found in your dog's intestines. This prevalence of probiotics in the canine system is why probiotics benefit all aspects of your canine's health, not just his GI tract.
2. Probiotics actually produce natural antibiotics specifically meant to eliminate the population of pathogenic (bad) bacteria. In fact, many vets and human doctors think that synthetic antibiotics will eventually be phased out as bacteria continue evolving resistance against laboratory-made antibiotics.
3. Probiotics form a symbiotic relationship with a k9's body to create a reciprocal defense strategy against fungal, viral and bacterial infections.
4. Canine probiotics not only help produce B vitamins but also vitamins A and K, essential fatty acids and increase bioavailability of nutritents important to a dog's health: calcium, iron, potassium, zinc and proteins.
5. K9s (and humans) have 11 times more probiotics in their bodies than blood, bone and tissue cells.
6. Probiotics may play a preventive role in the development of some cancers in k9s. A few strains of bacteria used to formulate probiotics appear to stimulate anti-cancer chemical production while theL. casei strain may lower the risk of bladder cancer in k9s breeds prone to this kind of cancer.
7. All puppies (and human babies) are born free of disease. A puppy's gut flora is established during his first two or three months of life but is quickly disturbed by poor diet, environmental stressors and antibiotics, making supplementation with probiotics vital to a puppy's good health.
8. Probiotics are NOT the same as prebiotics. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria that colonize a dog's intestines and eradicate "bad" bacteria. Alternately, prebiotics are made with substances helpful for microbial growth within the intestines. Also, prebiotics cannot be digested in the intestines or assimilated into the body. They simply remain in the gut to promote bacterial growth.
9. The first symptom of dysbiosis in canines is diarrhea, usually accompanied by flatulence, bloating and audible stomach noises. Antibiotic use almost always gives k9s diarrhea because of the drug's powerful ability to disrupt the balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in the intestines by killing all bacteria instead of just infection-causing bacteria. Antibiotics also irritate the lining of the intestines by creating a severe imbalance of normal gut flora and traumatizing sensitive intestinal walls.
10. The health of your canine's GI tract also influences his brain health and cognition. When the intestines can't break down food adequately to absorb essential amounts of nutrition from foods, the k9 brain suffers just as much as the immune system. K9s with dysbiosis may not respond to commands quickly, stare blankly ahead when their owners are talking to them or wander aimlessly as though they didn't know where they were going.
Are They Safe for K9s?
Of course! Since your dog already has the same kind of bacteria living in his body that are provided by probiotic supplements, there is no reason to think they are not safe.
Antibiotics are a different story. When you give your k9 antibiotics for an infection, the drug starts killing the bacteria causing the infection. However, antibiotics don't discriminate when they start targeting bacteria. Instead of just killing "bad" bacteria, antibiotics eradicate all bacteria. That's why your dog usually develops diarrhea after taking antibiotics for 24 hours–his entire GI tract is now suffering dysbiosis.
Alternately, probiotics are on the opposite spectrum of anti-bacterial medications because they re-populate "good" bacteria in the intestines so that elimination of "bad" bacteria happens safely and naturally. Canine probiotics do this by overwhelming "bad" bacteria and modifying the acidity, or pH level, of a k9's gut to prevent infectious bacteria from being able to survive in conditions not conducive to their growth.
What are the Benefits?
Most k9 owners aren't aware of the fact that nearly 85 percent of their pet's immune system is intimately connected to the healthy functioning of the digestive system. When a canine's GI tract is suffering dysbiosis, chronic health issues soon emerge because the immune system is overwhelmed with trying to combat the exorbitant amount of "bad" bacteria infiltrating the intestines. That's why k9s with a "leaky gut" (the colloquial term for dysbiosis) suffer non-gastrointestinal illnesses like skin and ear infections, joint problems, lack of energy, allergies and upper respiratory disorders–their immune system is stressed and extremely overtaxed trying to prevent the "bad" bacteria from taking over and causing sickness.
The best probiotics not only stop diarrhea and vomiting due to antibiotic use but will also:
- Improve coat appearance
- Rid your k9 of halitosis and odd "body" smells
- Reduce flatulence
- Prevent or diminish allergy symptoms
- Maximize functioning of the intestines to facilitate absorption of vitamins and minerals from food
- Encourage and stabilize regular bowel functioning
- Give your canine more energy
- Reduce incidences of illness by optimizing the immune system's ability to fight viral, bacterial and fungal infections
- Calms upset digestion caused by dietary or travel changes
- Encourage production of B vitamins, including folic acid and biotin
- May reduce cholesterol levels in dog breeds prone to atherosclerosis
- Inhibits growth of candida albicans, a type of yeast responsible for causing numerous infections in k9s
- Relieve inflammation in joints of older dogs
Probiotics also helps boarded canines manage stress-related vomiting and diarrhea so that their health is not compromised while away from their owners. K9s with reduced immune system functioning, such as puppies, senior dogs or canines with chronic diseases, also benefit from probiotic supplements. Probiotics promote enzymatic activity necessary for breaking down the elements of your dog's food needed to help intestines absorb food: fats, carbohydrates, fiber, oils and sugars. Enzymes also offer systemic assistance against protein-based allergies as well as tissue inflammation responsible for canine arthritis. Although raw foods contain digestive enzymes, these enzymes dissolve when raw foods are processed or cooked. This means your canine's physiological systems become stressed as they must work harder to produce enough enzymes to properly digest food. In addition, more stress on the body's organs means valuable energy is being taken away from the immune system. Many health issues suffered by dogs–gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, pancreatitis, excessive gas, lethargy and skin problems–can be traced back to nutritional deficiencies caused by lack of enzymatic activity. With probiotic supplements, you can eliminate these problems without making your canine feel worse by putting him on a regimen of antibiotics.
Do Probiotics Cause Side Effects?
Probiotics rarely cause side effects in dogs unless the probiotic is made with inferior bacteria strains or is not a probiotic specially formulated for k9s. Some canines may experience worsening of their health problems within 24 to 72 hours of taking their first probiotic supplement but this situation quickly reverses itself once the dog's gut flora receives the full benefits of a healthy GI tract rich in "good" bacteria.
High-quality probiotics should include accurate, colony-forming unit (CFU) information on the label. CFUs tell canine owners how many bacteria strains are contained in the probiotic to ensure owners are giving their dogs the right amount of probiotic supplements.
Why You Should Start Giving Them Probiotic Supplements
Three reasons exist for supplementing your canine's diet with probiotics:
1. Probiotics are an all-natural supplement that contains only microorganisms already found in a canine's body. On the contrary, antibiotics harbor genetically modified bacteria that have been mutated using UV radiation, chemicals and x-rays. Who wants to put that kind of substance into their canine?
2. Hundreds of recent studies have examined the effects of probiotics on canines, as well as cats, rabbits and livestock; the studies have found that animals raised without adequate colonies of "good" bacteria guarding their GI tract from "bad" bacteria typically develop diseases or chronic conditions that significantly reduce their quality of life.
3. You love your canine and want him to have a long, active and healthy life free of health problems and too many upsetting visits to the veterinarian.
Start your dog on his path to long-term wellness by giving him the best probiotic available today. You'll notice an amazing difference within a few days and even more improvements as the probiotics completely eliminate dysbiosis, strengthen his immune system, increase his energy and give you the peace of mind knowing that your best friend for life is feeling great and happy knowing that you–his one and only human–cares so deeply for his well-being.

Indiana Pacers @ New York Knicks – Thursday May 16, 2013 (Indiana leads 3-1)
The online sports book experts have been watching the New York Knicks self-destruct throughout these entire playoffs. The Knicks pulled it together just long enough to eliminate the Boston Celtics in the first round, but that looked like it was quite a challenge. New York has some great players on its team, but it is finding it difficult to stay focused on the task at hand. In this series against the Pacers, New York has been frustrated by Indiana's fast-paced and physical play. What New York needs to do is focus on the things it does well and work from there.
The sports betting experts had predicted good things for the Indiana Pacers in these playoffs. It was said over and over again that Indiana was going to cause a lot of problems for some teams. It turns out that Indiana is looking to do more than just make a good showing in these playoffs. With a road win on Thursday night, the Pacers will advance to the Eastern Conference finals and await the winner of the Heat-Bulls series. The Pacers are young, healthy and hungry to win. This could be exactly what other teams in the conference did not want when the playoffs started.
New York Knicks
The best sports betting sites are wondering if maybe the New York Knicks are relying too much on Carmelo Anthony and not spreading the ball around enough. If New York is going to avoid elimination, then it will need to get points from more than just Anthony. One of the important elements that has not performed well for New York in this series is the bench. The Knicks need some scoring performance from its bench players if it is going to get past Indiana in this game.
Indiana Pacers
The betting sites are recommending that the Indiana Pacers not change a thing about the way they are playing right now. Indiana is frustrating the Knicks and outplaying the Knicks in every game but one so far. Indiana has been playing superb defense, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks have been relying on Carmelo Anthony so much. When Indiana takes the floor for this game, the team needs to focus on moving the ball and scoring points from all over the floor. Otherwise, this will be it for the New York Knicks' season.
The Bottom Line
The Knicks should be happy to be in the playoffs, but the team has loftier goals than that. There is still a void in the leadership area that this team needs to contend with if it wants to move forward and challenge for the title. As for the Pacers, this is a young team that is definitely headed in the right direction and should not change a single thing.

Nicole Calabrese
Australian Dance Theatre in collaboration with final year dance students from TAFE SA Adelaide College of the Arts presents an ambitious collaboration. Architecture is reimagined, energetic drawing is dance, hip hop inspired choreography redefines boundaries deftly unpacking an urban mash. Paul Andrew speaks with Student Dancer Nicole Calabrese.
Nicole tell me about your earliest and most fond memory about dance and dancing?
Well I started a little later than most females do, I remember I was 10 years old watching Michael Jackson on television and expressed to my parents that I wanted to dance like him. So he's all why it really started. I began dancing at my local jazz and tap school around the corner. It wasn't until I was in my final years of secondary school when I discovered contemporary dance, a lot of what we studied in SACE dance in the contemporary field was related to ADT, and so working with them now is so ironic. During my school studies I discovered the Bachelor of Dance Performance course at AC arts and I guess that kind of brings me to where I am right now in my third year of TAFE study.
Tell me about your TAFE dance course?
The Bachelor of Dance Performance course is a three year degree which specialises in the study of contemporary dance. There are many elements to the course; the most important is contemporary dance performance and technique along with the study of classical ballet technique.
In addition the other compulsory subjects which make up the degree include commercial studies, yoga, Pilates, career management, dance history, critical studies, anatomy and kinesiology to name a few. The overall aim of the course is to train and transfer dancers from students into professionals and in doing so prepare them for the professional realm of contemporary dance.
The strengths of the course would have to be our dance lecturers and highly renowned choreographers who choreograph the students, the contact hours are quite high. This term we are working in collaboration with Garry Stewart and the Australian Dance Theatre in Worldhood so our main focus has all gone into the preparation of the show.
I love the fact that I, as a student have the chance to work with Garry Stewart and the ADT dancers, it is such an amazing opportunity that not many dancers will get in their careers. The fact that I have the chance to do this is quite unbelievable. I love watching the dancers work and learning from them it has given me a thorough insight into the professional world of contemporary dance. It has also made my standards for myself and the kind of dancer I want to be much higher, it has given me inspiration, passion.
Nicole what do you adore most about ADT and indeed, choreographer Garry Stewart?
Those dancers are just so remarkable, each of them give their own style to the company. They have been so amazing to watch. The abilities they possess are beyond belief. They have been so kind as to take us in and nurture us, giving us advice and inspiration left, right and centre.
Garry Stewart has been just so great to work with, I have been challenged by his choreography his expectations. Being challenged constantly is how you become better at what you do. Overall it's an enjoyable experience with an amazing bunch of people.
Tell me about the development of Worldhood?
Worldhood explores the similarities between architecture, structures of nature and dance. Garry Stewart's theory I suppose began with Artist Thom Buchanan's drawings of architecture and how this can be related to dance, in the show the dancer's explore this in a number of ways, one in particular is a form of hip hop called tutting, the angular shapes made in this dance form are used as a similarity between architecture and dance.
Worldhood "stretches the boundaries of dance" – how so, why so?
The physicality of the dancers are amazing, in terms of stretching boundaries, the connection between Thom's drawing and the dancing is one example, there is quite a distinctive relationship between the two. Another would be the dramatic change of pace from section to section and another example, is how one thematic concept can be explored and presented in so many different and unique ways.
Tell me about featured freehand artist Thom Buchanan?
Garry Stewart asked our college if he could work with some students in a collaborative manner to and produced a large scale project. Thom is the artist involved, his ability to draw landscape free hand in such a short time span is amazing, some of the art work he produces is simply outstanding and he has been so lovely to work in collaboration.
What do you feel you have learned the most about collaboration in Worldhood?
I have learned many skills I have learned how to be professional, I have been challenged. I hope to keep a close connection with many of the dancers and would love to continue to learn from them. I will consider this experience a very key important process in my development, particularly when I enter the professional world in a few years time. I will be forever grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with Garry Stewart and ADT. I still can't believe this is happening to me.

Purpose and Strategy of Cycling UK Oxfordshire
As agreed by our Annual General Meeting on 4th November 2017
Our overall purpose is to encourage more people to go cycling more of the time, both Cycling UK Members and the general public.
Our scope is centred on Oxfordshire, and we will work with other groups and coordinate action across the county. We also encourage riders and rides beyond Oxfordshire's borders.
Measures of success
- The number of participants in rides and events organised by us, or groups we have founded. (Measured as per our Annual Return)
- The overall rate of cycling in Oxfordshire (Measured by the Sport England Active People Survey, fraction of adults cycling at least once a month)
We will do this by:
1. Creating and supporting Groups
- We recognise that most people's riding community is focused around their local group, so the groups are our main point of action.
- We have a defined role in supporting our Informal Groups (including funding and a conduit to National Office) and also wish to gain better national support for them. We support these Groups growing over time into Formal Groups.
- In addition to existing Groups, we have identified the potential for a Cycling UK Group in Banbury and to expand the group in Witney.
2. Helping our members to organise and participate in rides and events with a county-wide appeal
- We help Cycling UK Members in the county or visiting to find appropriate rides or routes.
- We will ask and support the local Informal Groups to organise rides and events with appeal to riders across the county.
- We will ask and encourage local members to develop their own ideas for rides and events with county-wide appeal, and support these where helpful with publicity, Committee support or funding.
- As a Committee, we will organise a few events that fill clear 'gaps' in the plans of other groups in the county. (e.g. An Annual Century ride)
3. Campaigning for better facilities and more cycling across the county
- Covering all forms of cycling: encouraging new people into cycling including minority and disadvantaged groups, making it easier and safer for existing cyclists, on-road and off-road.
- Supporting the Oxfordshire Cycling Network, for example with publicity for the campaign
- Inputting and responding to issues under our own name
- Linking with other groups where useful, both cycling and others (for example Local Authorities, walking and horse-riding groups)
4. Supporting other cycling-related activities
- We may support other cycling groups and initiatives where they are local, non-commercial and non-competitive, and when the Committee believes CyclingUK Oxfordshire has the resources and support of its local members.
- Any such support is most likely to include connecting people and groups across the county, and help to plan and publicise rides and events that appeal to members in the county.

Cold Fusion Goes Comercial
Breaking Through! – Cold Fusion Goes Commercial…
by Eugene F. Mallove, Sc.D.
Publisher and Editor-in-Chief
Source: Infinite Energy Magazine
Vol. 1, No.2 1995 – Editorial
We knew all along it would happen…."cold fusion" would begin to be commercialized long before science fully came to grips with what the mysterious and extremely potent excess heat-generating process really is.
Remarkably, cold fusion is being commercialized even in the face of continued widespread, but obviously misguided skepticism that the phenomenon even exists! As former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Dr. Edmund Storms, now with Salt Lake City-based ENECO, has suggested, "We can thank the skeptics for allowing some of us the chance to become very rich." Clearly, if the U.S. Department of Energy evaluation of cold fusion in 1989 had been even 10% objective, and if threatened institutions had been open to the new discovery, in 1995 there would be precious little room in the field for small companies and entrepreneurs.
As it stands now, "cold fusion" and allied "new energy" technologies, in which energy appears to materialize perhaps literally from the vacuum quantum fluctuations of space or from subtle mass conversion to energy – are possibly the greatest commercial opportunities of this century. It is the quintessential entrepreneurial field, in which those "in the know" have an opportunity to reap vast rewards in a tidal wave of business activity. The entire energy infrastructure of advanced industrial civilization is at the brink of radical reconstruction as early-stage and prototype cold fusion systems emerge with great vigor.
Our "Infinite Energy" (IE) cover highlights the work of Dr. James Patterson and his robust cold fusion cell, which has the honor of having been granted the first U.S. Patent for a cold fusion apparatus. It was a smash hit at the Fifth International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF5) at Monte Carlo, Monaco last April. Participants were invited to test it themselves-and they did. The cell bubbled with excess energy throughout the conference.
Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETI) of Dallas, Texas intends to scale up this highly reproducible electrochemical cold fusion system, which has already proved that output/input power ratios of 10:1 (i.e. 1,000%) are achievable. The CEO of CETI, Jim Redding (incidentally, the grandson of Dr. Patterson), has told "IE" that his company is working with other individuals and companies to produce high power units in the kilowatt range as soon as possible. It seems to us at "IE" that kilowatt-level heat production with this process is a distinct possibility within the next six-months or so.
There may even be a light-weight cold fusion-powered cars that have traversed in U.S. and Australia in "Tour de Sol" races in recent years. Well, at least one cold fusion pioneer has his eyes on driving such a light-weight vehicle – with solar panels replaced by a one-horsepower cold fusion engine-clear across the U.S. may he will park it near the U.S. Patent Office, which is still blocking hundreds of U.S. patent applications for cold fusion. (Patterson's was granted by what amounts to a bureaucratic slip-up by the obstructing authorities!)
It is most remarkable that the Patterson Power Cell works with ordinary water, not the heavy water of the original Pons and Fleischmann cell. The potential of this ordinary water technology has been a very hot prospect ever since Dr. Randall Mills in Pennsylvania announced his nickel-based ordinary water "hydrocatalysis " process back in 1991. Technological setbacks may have temporarily stalled the work at Hydrocatalysis Power Corporation and at nearby Thermacore in Pennsylvania, but it is very much alive in Texas and at other labs and corporations known to be working with CETI.
At ICCF5, electrical engineer Bruce Klein with Bechtel Corp. gave the attendees his perspective of how large corporations could begin to become involved in the field. For their own sake, one hopes that some of them will heed Klein's advice, which we reprint here in full. Dr. Robert Horst of Tandem Computers also puts forward his personal ideas about market strategies for cold fusion companies.
Now for an incredible commercial bombshell- a water-fuel device that did not originate from the mainline cold fusion field at all, but which is very definitely penetrating the marketplace already in eastern Europe. We have learned that in a former region of the Soviet Union, now the country of Moldova (known also as Moldavia), the VIZOR Corporation in Kishinev has already sold thousands of heating units to homes and industries! These work on the cavitation principle in ordinary water, very reminiscent of the Hydrosonic Pump of Hydrodynamics, Inc. of Rome, Georgia in the US, only they are apparently much more effective in generating excess thermal energy.
Dr. James Patterson (l) and Dr. Dennis Cravens with the Patterson Power Cell Demonstration at ICCF5 (photo: EFM) The Hydrosonic Pump of James Griggs may produce 10% to 50% excess power as steam or hot water-in the kilowatt range, from a metal cylinder rotating in ordinary water in a confined chamber. This is remarkable enough, and has already been confirmed to have reduced the electric heating bills in some US installations. But Dr. Yuri S. Potapov's devices input several kilowatts of electricity into a centrifugal water pump that feeds the device and gets out reportedly 400% to 1,000% excess power in hot water! Laboratory reports from other CIS states appear to confirm these claims. But what is most important is that hundreds upon hundreds of satisfied customers have ratified the technology in the marketplace! Who would buy a device that potentially could increase their electric hot water heating bill by 100% if the conventional centrifugal pump were say only 50% efficient (a common efficiency for such pumps)? The answer is simple: nobody! Russian and Moldovans are not fools. They know when their water and space heating bills have been cut in half or less-as VIZOR's customers regularly report. That would mean these devices have to be in the range of at least 400% "over-unity." Of course, this is such a provocative preliminary conclusion, it simply has to be tested in laboratories in the US and elsewhere before it can be fully accepted. That is precisely what will soon happen. Please stay tuned!
IE contributing editor Chris Tinsley of the UK and IE scientific advisor, chemical engineer Dr. Peter Gluck of Romania, traveled to Kishinev to see what was going on at VIZOR; they file their report in this issue ("Infinite Energy2, Vol. 1, No. 2 1995). What they found was most astonishing: an obviously robust commercial enterprise, producing a variety of heating units that can heat entire large buildings. The essence of these units is a fluid vortex chamber that apparently produces intense cavitation between fluid layers. If the Griggs Hydrosonic Pump and the E-Quest Sciences ultrasonic reactor are taken as confirmed evidence that remarkable energy-producing effects are at work in cavitation systems, then it is a small step to imagine that Potapov's machines work too. The quantum leap of VIZOR's machines is their spectacularly greater efficiency in their present embodiment.
People associated with the Russian space program have become convinced that the Potapov technology is real and revolutionary. Moreover, theoretical physicist Dr. Lev G. Sapogin of MADI Technical University in Moscow proposes a theory to explain the Potapov device, as well as more conventional "cold fusion" processes. Readers are invited to explore his challenging theory in this issue of IE. Preliminary testing revealed no neutron or gamma radiation emanating from tests of the Potapov devices. Certainly no mere chemical ash commensurate with the astonishing excess power could be found. What does that leave? Zero Point Energy? Subtle mass conversion to energy in heretofore unknown ways., or some subtle radiationless nuclear reaction still undetected? Whatever the case, profound shocks are certain to be coming to the world of physics-ordinary "conventional" cold fusion was enough to do that already. Electric energy production in self-sustaining devices may not be far behind-or may already have been achieved, as Dr. Potapov suggests. But these earthquakes from cavitation devices that may rock physical theory to is foundations are no less portentous than the shock to the world's energy economy that is about to occur. Welcome, indeed, to the Water Fuel/"Free Energy" age! Cold fusion, at long last, has gone commercial.

Last week, PlayStation LifeStyle revealed an interesting find on a LinkedIn profile belonging to an Ubisoft employee. The listing showed Splinter Cell: Conviction, which is known for its Microsoft-exclusivity, as in development for PS3. While Ubisoft was quick to dismiss this listing, they can't seem to put it down – as it's come up yet again.
Michael Donnell, a 3D animator at Ubisoft Montreal, has listed Splinter: Cell Conviction for PS3 in his LinkedIn profile, which has described his past and current video game projects. Also, Donnell listed a new Assassin's Creed title (though it did not have a specific platform), for release this year.
Splinter Cell: Conviction releases later this month on Xbox 360 and PC. Will it eventually make it to the PS3? All of this evidence, no matter how many times Ubisoft tries to bury it under the rug, leads us to believe Sam Fisher will eventually sneak onto the PlayStation 3.

After studying International Relations at the University of San Diego she realized she had a deep passion for Real Estate and helping people make one of the biggest decisions in their life. While assisting and learning the business for 6 months, Ali worked her way up to be a full time Real Estate professional, having helped over 30 families buy and sell real estate. Living in the Peninsula and San Francisco Ali became interested in software and transactional sales and for the last 3 years has been a top performer selling software first at Intuit Demandforce, then later managing a sales team of 5 folks at a startup called HomeSuite (a fully furnished rental platform). The hybrid of tech and Real Estate reinvigorated Ali's continued passion in Real Estate that has brought her back to work with her family from here forward.
Ali has a deep drive to help people buy and sell homes, to consult them through what is one of the largest sales or purchases they will make in their life. When she is not working you can find Ali enjoying wonderful restaurants in San Francisco, sweating at SoulCycle San Mateo, or playing with her beautiful nieces and nephew!
