Wayne- one more recommendation for Victor. My training partner swears it's the best food he has ever fed in over 20 years.
"When a man is proud of his dog and shows it, I like him. When his dog is proud of him and shows it, I deeply respect him. Gene Hill
For those of you feeding Victor, which blend are you feeding?
They have several which one do you feed for an active dog in training?
A large portion of that cost is the actual production rather than ingredients. For example, Royal Canin guarantees against cross contamination from other protein and carbohydrate sources in their hypoallergenic line of foods. The last time I spoke to my vet products rep, she explained that a large part of the cost of those diets was related to the fact that they have to disassemble and sterilize the entire production line before they start any batch of the hypoallergenic or novel protein foods to ensure no allergens are transferred.
I can't say for certain about the Hill's products but I would imagine they have similar QC. I don't think that you always get that degree of stringency with OTC foods, but you can always try switching and see if your dog's allergies flare back up.

Ive been feeding Nutro (or Natural Choice) for about 10 months. My YLF's stomach just would not tolerate Pro Plan. This food came highly recommended and so far the results have been good, but not such a big fan of the price and smaller bags (30#).
Looks like they have a few options in grain free - turkey/potato; lamb/potato; venison/potato
Hope that Rowdy is doing well! Just out of curiosity, do the vets ever recommend trial challenges with the perceived allergen containing food (similar to babies/toddlers that have reactions to foods, but after 1-2 yo are reintroduced and have 0 complications)?

If you don't think your dog needs the venison then I have found that Costco Natures Domain Grain Free Turkey & Sweet Potato or Salmon & Sweet Potato works very well for my allergic dog. 35# bag for around $30. Very reasonable price. http://www.naturesdomainpetfood.com/
Training Isn't Expensive..... IT'S PRICELESS!
Anyone have experience with Eukanuba products?
I've been feeding Nature' Recipe since my CLF was a pup. I was feeding Natural Choice when her food allergies popped up. Also reasonably priced.

John Maynard Keynes once famously responded to the charge that he had changed his views on monetary policy by saying "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" Today's central bankers respond to changing "facts" by changing their target variables.
Incoming Bank of England governor Mark Carney is the most important among big-name economists who have been lining up to show their support for yet another target-based approach to monetary policymaking: nominal gross domestic product, or NGDP, level targeting. The basic idea is that a central bank should aim to fix GDP growth, unadjusted for inflation, at around 4.5% as a means of stabilising aggregate demand and avoiding recessions. Since the financial crisis of 2008 its myriad new supporters have come overwhelmingly from the left of the political spectrum - most notably former Obama administration economist Christina Romer.
Nominal output follows in a long line of monetary policy targets that have been proffered over the past 40 years as "the right one"; for the long and the short run, in good times and bad. After the collapse of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system in the 1970s, targeting of the money supply became the monetary Holy Grail. In the 1990s, as money supply targeting became operationally too problematic, the world shifted to the targeting of consumer price inflation.
But after 2008, when July US CPI hit 5.6% in the midst of a financial crisis, support for inflation targeting - which had become as close to global monetary orthodoxy as the gold standard had been in the late 19th century - melted away. Credible justification was needed for loosening policy at a time of elevated inflation. A year later, with CPI at -2.1%, such justification was no longer necessary. But those fearing a too-early tightening in policy turned to other targets.
Nominal output targeting is truly the new intellectual rage, but it will be short-lived. The reason is that its converts are all bad-weather fans. That is, they like it now, when nominal output is well below its 2007 "trend" line, meaning that the policy implies extended and more aggressive monetary loosening. But what happens when nominal output goes above its target, as it eventually will? Nominal output targeting then requires tightening, even if inflation is low - it may even require a deliberately deflationary policy stance, perhaps in the face of elevated unemployment.
We have identified 11 years between 1983 and 2003 when nominal growth exceeded 4.5% and the Fed was loosening, rather than tightening, policy (see chart above). Throughout this period, the level of nominal GDP was far above what it would have been had NGDP consistently risen at 4.5% year. Yet the Fed loosened policy in 14 out of the 21 years. These periods of rapid nominal GDP growth and Fed loosening coincided with years in which unemployment was significantly above the midpoint of the Fed Open Market Committee's estimates of longer-run unemployment.
Tightening policy when unemployment is high or rising rapidly has proven very rare, as well as unpopular. This suggests strongly that nominal output targeting has no legs: when it tells the Fed to tighten, its prominent new supporters will abandon it even more quickly than they embraced it. Indeed, two noted monetary economists have even called pre-emptively for the abandonment of nominal output targeting once it's done its job of justifying looser policy today.
"Once the nominal GDP growth shortfall has been eliminated," Michael Woodford and former FOMC member Frederic Mishkin wrote in The Wall Street Journal on January 6, "it will be appropriate to again conduct policy much as was done before the crisis".
Carney too has suggested that nominal output targeting could be useful as "a temporary unconventional monetary policy tool". Yet since the rationale behind both inflation targeting and nominal output targeting is that they anchor public expectations for the long-term, adopting them opportunistically seems a particularly bad idea.

Hagel camp: No, he's not dropping out
"There is absolutely no truth to the notion that Sen. Hagel might consider withdrawing," a Hagel aide told POLITICO. "He's continuing his prep work and getting up to speed on the issues he will deal with as secretary of Defense."
Online commentators began to speculate that Hagel might bow out, as more than a week had passed since his widely panned confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee with no word about when its members might take a vote. …
But among politicians and operatives supportive of Hagel, there is little evidence of a coming withdrawal — and more than a little pique at Republicans for delaying the confirmation process. They insist he should surrender still more information about his income, but Democrats have cried foul.

Topic: Happy Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur
Tonight begins our High Holidays starting with Rosh Hashanah and the blowing of the Shofar (rams horn) at which time you ask God to inscribe you in the book of Life and you spend the next 10 days asking for forgiveness for your sins.
Then on Yom Kippur you atone for the past sins and the Book of Life is sealed for another year. With that we say, "Shana Tova" for a blessed New Year with Health, Peace and Prosperity for all. BTW it goes double for my CC Family!

Thai Fight Results: Buakaw, Singmanee, Kulebin, Gurkov move on to finals
- Written by Rian Scalia
Today in Khorat, Thailand, the semi finals of this year's Thai Fight tournaments took place, at 67kg and 70kg. The winners moved on to fight in the finals, next month.
At 70kg, Buakaw Por. Pramuk dominated Nishikawa Tomoyuki over the course of three rounds to get a clear cut unanimous decision, moving on to the finals to face the winner f Antero Hynynen vs. Vitaly Gurkov. Buakaw seemed to have a complete disregard for any offense that Tomoyuki attempted and walked through some spurts that Tomoyuki had over the course of the fight. Buakaw pretty much looked like he has all year, just with Tomoyuki being able to withstand Buakaw's onslaught, unlike previous opponents.
In the other 70kg semi final, Vitaly Gurkov defeated Antero Hynynen by decision, so he'll face Buakaw in the final. That's all the information we have for now. The fight was shown after Buakaw's fight and not televised.
Moving over to 67kg, Singmanee Kaewsamrit scored a clear unanimous decision victory over Mehdi Zatout. Singmanee seems to have adjusted better to the three round format of Thai Fight since the tournament started as he controlled the fight from a distance with round kicks to the body while Zatout mostly scored with low scoring techniques like punches. Singmanee just landed the higher quality of offense, and a greater quantity of it as well.
Also in the other 67kg semi final, Andrei Kulebin edged out Adaylton Pereira de Freitas. Adaylton took the second round in my opinion but in the third round seemed content to coast to the finish, thinking he had the fight won. Kulebin adjusted and stepped it up in the third round, pressuring Adaylton around the ring and landing a lot of kicks. Kulebin ended up getting the decision victory and will face Singmanee in the finals, which is a rematch of their fight from June which many thought Kulebin won.
A few super fights also took place, with Sudsakorn Sor. Klinmee scoring a devastating elbow KO over Mohammed Hossein Doroudian. In the other super fight, Ikuysang Kor. Rungthanakeat cruised to a decision win over Simone Cecchini, as he clowned and toyed with his Italian opponent over the course of the entire fight.
All the fight videos with the exception of Gurkov vs. Hynynen can be viewed on the channel of this Buakaw vs. Tomoyuki video.
70kg semi final: Buakaw Por. Pramuk def. Nishikawa Tomoyuki by decision.
70kg semi final: Vitaly Gurkov def. Antero Hynynen by decision.
67kg semi final: Singmanee Kaewsamrit def. Mehdi Zatout by decision.
67kg semi final: Andrei Kulebin def. Adaylton Pereira de Freitas by decision.
Sudsakorn Sor. Klinmee def. Mohammad Hossein Doroudian by KO (Elbow) in Round 2.

A week ago, our beloved country braced the most powerful typhoon in history, the typhoon Haiyan/yolanda. It nearly wiped out some provinces in the Visayas region, left nearly 7 thousand people dead, destroyed billions amount of property, and left thousands of people homeless, orphaned, widowed, and childless. The international media flocked to the country to cover for the aftermath of the typhoon, several foreign countries have sent tremendous help, even the private individuals, companies, organizations, people around the world have donated to help the victims and survivors of the typhoon.
The international media have exposed the slow response of our government in the time of crisis, and even compared the event to other catastrophe that happened in other countries such as Japan and Indonesia and the response of their government. It was only after 5 days when the aid arrived due to the loss of communication and the difficulty of transportation due to the debris left by the typhoon. The government on the other hand, retorted and blamed the local government unit because "they were not prepared", instead of uplifting the spirits of the survivors and comforting them as they have lost everything, not just their houses, not just the source of their living, but they've lost their loved ones. As a leader, he should be the one to assure the victims that help will arrive and that he will lead in the recovery and rehabilitation and normalization of their lives after this destructive event. It's just so sad that after all they've been through, they will hear "the leader" blaming them. *sigh*
A lot of people (including me) find this so distasteful, turned to the social media and vent out the violent reactions for the "blame-game" that the president have started. As citizens, legal voters, and tax payers, people of this country have the right to criticize the government based on its performance, the way it handles events like this, and the response. Yes we know that there's no perfect government, even Barack Obama have shortcomings but at least he's humble enough to take all the blame when his obamacare failed, and he's meek enough to accept and apologize for his fault. Nuff said.
There are some people who responded "hey, shut your mouth and help" or something like "you should shut up you know, have you already helped? what have you done to help? how much help have you donated?"
like, are we measuring a person's worth by the amount that he has given? Like the Filipino director Peque Gallaga have stated, "we can help and criticize at the same time" because we just want our help to reach those people who needed the help. We dont want it to be wasted or worse, we dont want it in the pockets of corrupt officials! With so much corruption here in our country which involved several public officials (hope the president's not involved) it is really hard to trust anyone in the politics nowadays. Everything that they will do will be tainted with doubt and controversy... and to add to that, should we really have to tell the whole wide world that we've helped or that we've donated? I know some people just want to inspire others to help, but for me, IMO, we should help quietly, we should help without the need for appreciation or recognition because the very purpose of helping is to help right? not just because you want to impress everyone. I was being judged online because of the things I am posting in facebook, even branded as a member of the "opposition" because of the criticisms I make with regards to the flow of the aid, the repacking of goods from other countries for the replacement of the packs with names of public officials, the classification of the survivors who'll be given with relief goods with voters and non-voters, which obviously, the non-voters of the party who'll be distributing the goods will not be given, the sorting of imported goods which were replaced with local goods, and so many other dreadful things. Yes, I am criticizing, others too, but please dont answer us with "have you helped, how much have you given" because seriously, we dont want to disclose such details. There's no need for me to post in Facebook my selfie photo with a pack of relief goods, or with a deposit slip, or with a check or with a cash.. I dont need to post a status update stating that I've given up my desire of buying a gold iphone 5s worth 45 thousand pesos and give my savings instead to the relief operation for the survivors.... It may and will likely attract kidnappers, holduppers, and criminals of some sort, and i dont want to risk my life. And just because I dont post about it, doesn't mean I did not. I just dont like bragging about what I've given.
The criticisms should be taken as constructive; the government should listen to the people's opinions and give them the truth because after all, as what the president have said, "KAYO ANG BOSS KO" (you are my boss). Well, we're not being bossy here, but we just want to point out that we, the people, have voted for you, everyone in the position, because we believe that you are capable of being the leader, leading the country to progress, cleaning the country with heartless criminals which, sadly, were also in the position, and helping us get ahead with our lives, which you've already done so far. We're not expecting you to be perfect but at least make us feel that you are one with us, not just only directing, commanding, telling your subordinates to do this or that, displacing your disappointment to someone, but to have some empathy, feel the people's suffering, comfort them, assure them, lead them. In this time of distress, we need to "see a calm and collected commander-in-chief who can lift their spirits up when it is down." (Quoted from this blog).
As of this moment, relief is already reaching the affected areas, some survivors were transported here in Manila to start anew with their relatives here, some decided to stay in the visayas and start with what was left by the typhoon. It will be a very long journey to recovery but with the strength and resilience of the Filipino, recovery will be possible. For the help of all the people who've given their hands, time, effort, themselves in helping our fellow in the Visayas, Thank You so Much and Godbless Us always.

Most investors will agree, especially in Asia, that real estate investment in most occasions will bear out as the best investment. Sometimes property investing business strategy might be very easy and at times it may be intricate. It all depends on what strategies you are doing this for and how well you understand this business. Property or realty investing company strategies that will assist you in producing revenue from your business. Some emerging countries in Asia may be an interesting portfolio to delve into as long term yields should fit handsome especially with capital appreciation.
Take Singapore as an example. Not too long ago its real estate market was in the doldrum but after the hazy period of 2009 the market bounced back in a big way again as much as 150% y-o-y. As DFI poured into the Singapore's economy property prices sky rocketed. Since the late 1980s 20-30 or perhaps even 40 years ago none of the existing countries like India, China and might other did not want or care about overseas investments particularly in buying of foreign properties like in Singapore. As developing countries might not afford or want anything like tangible property preferring gold instead. The reserve banks of these countries did not desire or need gold reserves. So gold continues to have restricted supply and with fever pitched industrialisation demand for gold continues to sour. Asia continues to have a high propensity towards gold but real estate investing has also developed into deeper sophistication with REITs and other derivatives as well.
SGX REITs has an average yield is 8 percent; currently, there are 9 industrial REITs listed on SGX. Industrial REITs have the highest distribution yield among different sectors.
Shorter land leases as compared to other REITs properties mean higher depreciation expenses. Some investors believe this higher depreciation expense is the rationale why industrial REITs have a better distribution yield that's caused by the decreasing denominator of NAV. Industrial REITs, however, are on short 30 to sixty leases and endure much faster land depreciation than other assets. Thus distribution yield really should be seen as part income and part capital payout. This short lease term conjointly means that a limitation on capital appreciation. Vulnerable to country economic performance — Industrial properties are known to be prone to economic performance, and demand is basically driven by the growth of the GDP. Assets are least defensive during an economic recession and will suffer from a chronic recession. Most of the tenants are SMEs, and therefore possess higher risk of defaulting on their rent during a crisis.
In '03 to '04, occupancy for industrial properties was around seventy percent, whereas suburban retail malls had above 80%. Unable to grow organically — Rent increase for industrial properties is very arduous, as a result of the tenants tend to be SMEs and MNCs who aim to save lots of price by shifting their middle and back office business operations to a business park. In addition, there is pressure from the govt to unleash supply to suppress rent ought to it increase. Besides that, asset enhancement does not work well on industrial assets. This suggests that that the sole option for growth is through acquisition. Other areas for individual investors may be to look into executive condo or EC which could have one of the best yield once the minimum occupancy or MOP is secure these residence may see upside of at least 10%. A good executive condo EC may be to look into new launches in the woodlands area like Northwave EC located along woodlands ave 12. Look out for prices to moderate around $750 to $850 PSF where most private condo hover above $1,100 easily. Granted that there will be the MOP that is needed to be served however looking at long term capital appreciation reward at the end will be quite handsome.

Investors in real estate investment trusts (REITs), that was called listed property trusts until the rout inflicted by the global financial crisis prompted a reputation amendment, have been doing even higher. Needless to say REITs are to not be confused with mortgage trusts that are a sad story. Few properties I daresay would have came back 30 per cent annually over the past 5 years however REITs did, consistent with the SGX's REITs index. Just suppose, that was while not the hassles of a temperamental toilet, a strata bill to mend concrete cancer, tenants trashing the place or a body corporate complaining. All right, so you guessed property doesn't extremely do it for me but you have got to admit I might be on to one thing. Did I mention REITs are yielding around 4-6 per cent once fees? There will't be many investment properties that may boast that or we have a tendency to would have heard regarding them.
The opposite thing concerning REITs is that they furnish you instant diversification. They come back in four flavours for a begin – residential , retailing (led by Capmall), office (Keppelland) and industrial (Ascendas) – but additional to the point, they embrace a portfolio of properties. REITs were mauled in the 2009 crisis for over borrowing to invest within the very places where it hit hardest: the US and Europe. Thus decimated were they that solely 17 are still standing. Sorry, sixteen – Australand is being bought out by a Singapore company.
Those remaining learnt their lesson, carrying less debt and management hubris. Still, that doesn't account for why they're beating most of the sharemarket, except it must facilitate that they were marked down too far to begin with and several are potential takeover targets.
Since REITs ought to provide a good, reliable income from rents rising with inflation rather than a capital gain of any consequence, though have managed each lately, their real friend has been the outstanding rally in bonds.
A surge in shopping for by central banks has pulled down the yields of Asia's AAA-rated government bonds and therefore way it's created something manufacturing an income look sensible.
For REITs low bond yields are like dipping in a mineral spa, cleansing them of economic impurities. Their cost of borrowing drops as cash market rates fall for one, leaving more income that may be distributed to unitholders. But wait, there's a lot of. Bond yields are crucial for property values yet. They're the danger free benchmark for all other rates. For housing they influence fastened rate mortgages, for example. Bonds additionally set the minimum for the capitalisation or cap rate which is that the rental return divided by its market worth. This is the yield that investors demand from a property at any given time. Since the rent is fastened the price has to regulate to meet the prevailing cap rate. Thus as it falls the property can be worth a lot of, though it won't happen overnight especially as REIT valuations are solely done periodically. And bond rates are going to be low for ages, with thanks going less to the Reserve Bank and a lot of to all or any the opposite central banks. Alternatively, actual property like condominiums could be a source for flight to safety as volatility these days emit a fair bit of negative energy. Some condominiums in the EC arena could be new ones launch like one in Anchorvale Treasure Crest EC.

Top 5 Reasons Why You should Invest in Kingsford Waterbay
Updates –
New private residential property sales in June, after the impressive high in the previous month. According to The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Data, only 536 new residences were transacted last month, which halves from 1,058 units sold in May.
The decline's causes to the shortage of new property launches and the seasonal effect from the June school holidays. However, in comparison with the figures at the same time last year with just 375 units transacted, the sales in June saw an annual increase up to 43 per cent.
All these features positive signals with more buyers coming back to the market. And it is thought that the price is likely to fall much more and that's the right time for their purchasing decision.
After some cooling property measures of The Government such as Total Debt Servicing Ratio and The Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty in 2013 that have lowered the prices of private property, private homes' demand has been sluggish considerably.
Last month, only 234 new private homes were launched compared to 1,345 units put up for sale in May. The suburban areas accounting for 60 per cent of deals with 324 units sold led sale, followed by the city fringe with 166 units transacted and the main central region with 46 units.

The good news is, once recognized, this sin can be avoided, leading to more fruitful client meetings and better clients. Most of us have grown up with an 'It's All About Me' attitude. How and why this is so, is not as important as what we can do to learn an 'It's All About The Client' attitude. This may sound easy, but it's not.
Despite our best efforts it is natural, especially when we are nervous, to be distracted by our insecurities and focus on ourselves.For instance when meeting a new design prospect, especially if we are not prepared with questions to draw them into conversation about their business, we may get nervous and rush things. That means we start talking instead of listening and rush to show our portfolio.
This puts us squarely into the 'All About Me' zone and risks turning our prospect off before we even know what they need. Let alone whether they really are a good fit for our design firm. This 'All About Me' perspective is particularly insidious and often manifests itself in overly presumptive behaviour.
You say that does not apply to you, you are never presumptive when in front of a prospect!
Hmmm…do you ever:
* Get tired of listening to the endless stories and complaints of your prospect…and just want to get on with talking about exactly what design project they want right now?
* Present your solutions right up front because you have lots of design experience in their industry and know what works?
* Just know you need to get some new projects now? Want to get to "yes" as fast as possible?
* Find yourself day-dreaming or drifting off in front of your prospect?
These are a few of the clues to help recognize presumptive behaviour. When you begin to feel or act like this, you have moved into being presumptive…which inevitably kills the deal or seriously limits your chances to do good work with this client.
What are some of the techniques for avoiding presumptive behaviors?
* Stay curious! Assume nothing! There is undoubtedly something for you to learn from this conversation.
* Ask questions…particularly if you think you know the answers.
* Pay attention to how much talking you are doing! In the early discovery phase if you are speaking more than 20% of the time, you are talking too much. When you begin to explore solutions the conversation can be 50/50. Just about the time you are ready to present your portfolio, take a deep breath and ask another question!
* Never assume your understanding of their business problem/opportunity is right …until they tell you you've got it right! Then ask them to explain to you why it is right!
Is your prospective client boring or irritating you? It's probably a clue this is not the right client for you to work with! Ask some provocative questions. Still bored…bring the meeting to a close! Tell the prospect you don't believe you can help them. Life is too short to work with the "clients from hell."The faster we can recognize when we are shifting into the 'All About Me' zone the more successful our prospective client conversations will be.
This means shifting from: I'm the reason for this meeting, look at my portfolio! To, I'm here to help my prospective client uncover their design needs. I will do my best work by facilitating their discovery, not by presenting my truths and good ideas before I know if they are appropriate.I hope I have not been overly presumptuous that this subject would be of interest to you.

Vitamin D In Pregnancy & Baby's Brain Development
Another study suggests higher levels of vitamin D during pregnancy may play an important role in a baby's future health. In the latest study, Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to poorer mental and motor skills in babies.
Researchers in Spain measured the level of vitamin D in the blood of almost 2,000 women in their first or second trimester of pregnancy and evaluated the mental and motor abilities of their babies at about 14 months of age. The investigators found that children of vitamin D deficient mothers scored lower than those whose mothers had adequate levels of the vitamin.
"These differences in the mental and psychomotor development scores do not likely make any difference at the individual level, but might have an important impact at the population level," said study lead author Dr. Eva Morales, a medical epidemiologist in the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona.
One concern is that lower scores in motor and mental tests could lead to lower IQs.
Previous studies have linked a deficiency in vitamin D during pregnancy to babies born with a greater risk for developing language problems, higher body fat, bone weakness, lung infections and schizophrenia.
Vitamin D deficiency in moms-to-be has also been associated with a higher risk for developing preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is rarely fatal, but can lead to premature births.
How much vitamin D should a pregnant woman be getting? There's not a clear-cut answer.
The Institute of Medicine, an independent U.S. group that advises the public, recommends pregnant women get 600 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D and no more than 4,000 IU/day. However, the Endocrine Society says that 600 units does not prevent deficiency and that at least 1,500 to 2,000 units a day may be required.
Bruce Hollis, director of pediatric nutritional sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, said the recommended 600 units per day is probably sufficient to promote good skeletal health in fetuses, but it "basically does nothing" to prevent other diseases.
Hollis recommends that women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant get 4,000 units a day of vitamin D.
In the current study, Morales and her colleagues measured vitamin D levels in 1,820 pregnant women living in four areas of Spain. Most were in their second trimester.
The researchers found that 20 percent of the women were vitamin D-deficient and another 32 percent had insufficient levels of the vitamin.
Morales and her colleagues found that the babies of mothers whose prenatal vitamin D level was deficient scored on average 2.6 points lower on a mental test and 2.3 points lower on a psychomotor test at about 14 months of age than babies of women whose prenatal vitamin D level was adequate.
Differences of between four and five points in these types of neuropsychological tests could reduce the number of children with above-average intelligence (IQ scores above 110 points) by over 50 percent, Morales noted.
The authors took into consideration other factors that could influence babies' mental and motor development, including birth weight, maternal age, social class and mother's education level, and whether or not the mother drank alcohol or smoked during pregnancy.
The study found a link between vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy and babies' brain development, but it did not prove the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship.
Vitamin D may have additional benefits for mothers-to-be. Other research conducted by Hollis and his team found that pregnant women taking vitamin D could lower their risk of pregnancy-related diabetes and high blood pressure.
Early studies suggesting that high levels of vitamin D could lead to birth defects were bogus, Hollis said.
Women can receive up to 50,000 units a day before worrying about having too much vitamin D, Hollis said. Excessive vitamin D can lead to spikes in blood levels of calcium, which can, in turn, lead to kidney and nerve damage and abnormal heart rhythm.
Scientists are in agreement that vitamin D is important during pregnancy for the mother as well as the baby, but since there is still some uncertainty about the correct dosage, discuss what vitamin D level is right for you with your obstetrician.
The study was published online in September and will be available in the October issue of the journal Pediatrics.

A gorilla has achieved fame for walking upright on his hind legs like a human at a British animal park.
Ambam, a Western lowland gorilla, was filmed strolling about his enclosure by animal researcher Johanna Watson.
She posted the clip on YouTube, where it has been viewed by more than 250,000 people.
Ambam, a 21-year-old silverback, is part of a bachelor group of the critically endangered animals at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, which is run by an international conservation charity, The Aspinall Foundation.
Gorilla keeper Phil Ridges said Ambam, who now weighs 485 pounds, had been hand-reared at another animal park when he was a one-year-old for several months because he was ill.
Family trait?
He said the human-like walking style seemed to run in the family.
"Ambams father Bitam used to display the same behavior if he had handfuls of food to carry," Ridges said in a statement. "Ambam also has a full sister, Tamba, and a half sister ... who also sometimes stand and walk in the same way."

To appreciate what we see here, please compare with what you see in Miss Monica's GigaPan: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 11484.The view is not so spectacular as when seen in gigapan.org because in both panoramas, the camera lens is very close to the palm tree and the top branches look distorted, but in fact, they are not... the view in Google Earth places the curved panorama into a curved space, both vertical and horizontal and the result becomes something normal to the human eye. When I compare the two varieties of palm trees, I see that there may be a difference other than age, but I would defer this answer to your question to someone more knowledgeable than I, Dr. Richard Palmer: www.gigapan.org/viewProfile.php?use rid=319.
Welcome to the one gigapixel club and congratulations! I like this pano because to Texans I imagine this is an ordinary everyday scene featuring ordinary people doing ordinary things, but to someone who has never been anywhere near Texas it is a very unfamiliar landscape. The trees in particular are extraordinary to me - they look like something from an alien planet. In particular, given the size of the tree I wonder how it survives given the relatively tiny amount of leaves?

This week's game: Jackson State (0-0) at MSU (0-0), Saturday, 6 p.m., Fox Sports Net/ESPN3.com (Bob Rathbun play-by-play, Tim Couch analyst, Elizabeth Moreau sideline)
Here we are, finally. The drudgery of August is coming to an end, and we have real, live football to look forward to this week. In this space each Monday morning, we will do this little entry to set the table for you.
Today, Dan Mullen will hold his regular game-week press conference at 1 p.m. Naturally, I'll have plenty of updates for you on the blog and Twitter, including videos. Throughout the week, I'll have stories aplenty and all the regular blog features, including a game prediction and the Statshot.
Before we take a look at this week's opponent, I have a couple of links for you. In today's Journal is a profile of new wide receivers coach Tim Brewster (CLICK HERE). Also in the paper is a story on sophomore center Dillon Day, who's really taken hold of the starting job (CLICK HERE).
Now, let's take a quick look at Jackson State.
• Last meeting: MSU 45, Jackson State 7 (Sept. 5, 2009, Starkville)
• Series: MSU leads 1-0.
• Jackson State on the web: jsusports.com
• Jackson State on Twitter: @JStateTigers
• Jackson State coach: Rick Comegy (41-26, seventh season)
• 3 JSU players to watch: DE Joseph LeBeau, CB Qua Cox, WR Rico Richardson
• Premature review: In my Premature Preview of JSU (CLICK HERE), I looked at the offense trying to remain prolific without quarterback Ryan Therriault. The Tigers have several options to replace him, including senior Dedric McDonald, who threw nine passes last season. A team spokesman said this morning it "looks like" McDonald will be Saturday's starter.
"We think McDonald has stepped up his act at quarterback," Comegy said earlier ths month. "He's looking good in practice, he's showing some leadership out there. We also recruited what we think are some real fine quarterbacks."
McDonald is a big kid at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, and he can run. Not sure how well he can throw, but there are some pretty good weapons around him and a new offensive coordinator, Derrick McCall, who has worked for Comegy for several years at both JSU and Tuskegee.
Questions certainly linger over this offense. On defense, Comegy is more sure of things. He's got nine starters back there, and Mullen recently noted the wealth of experience on that side of the ball.
Certainly, MSU will be a heavy favorite (but FYI, Vegas doesn't normally post odds on games involving I-AA teams). But this JSU team should be better than the one that visited Starkville three years ago. The Tigers are 17-5 over the last two seasons, and when I spoke with Comegy earlier this month, he didn't sound like a coach resigned to defeat.
"I know they're a good football team," he said. "I'm not underestimating that we're going up against any slouch, but I feel any given day, any given day, any given day…"

On my hike this morning I came upon the scene of heinous crime; the murder of a mother. Mrs Hen was apparently going about the peaceful business of raising her brood when some lurking psycho struck her dead and terrifying her brood into wild flight to parts unknown. Those poor orphans are now homeless and vulnerable if not dead already. I estimate time of death about 1 week ago.
If it were legal I would take revenge.
What do you think killed Mrs Hen?

Thread: Gotta question for all
Gotta question for all
I'm currently battling a weird problem in my 55 gallon, nitrites. Tank has been running for three months, First three weeks fishless, had the Bacterial Bloom. Started the beginning of the second week in September. On the 2nd of October I added two corys and a pleco. On the 2nd of November I added three more Corys and four Angelfish. I was doing a 25% water-change each week until the week after I added the AngelFish, then I stepped up the water-changes. The last five water-changes I've done were 50% water-changes, two in the last four days.
I'm using a fresh API master test kit(Expiration date is 2017), every time I get the same readings, 0 ppm Ammonia, 5 ppm nitrates and a whopping 5+ ppm of Nitrites! I've been running a pack of Nitra-Zorb in the filter for the past couple of days and treated with Quick Start(Shows how desperate I'm getting) today. I'm going to test again tomorrow and if it's the same, another 50% water-Change.
Have any of you run into this before?

If it was me I would continue doing smaller partial water changes (to control the nitrites somewhat) and leave it alone for a while without adding any more fish or chemicals in the filtration unit. I would imagine the spike in nitrites is normal after your second addition of fish on Nov. 2nd. Once this "spike" is taken care of maybe 4 or 5 months of no new stuff in the tank to let everything settle in and your nitrogen cycle to take hold again. If your fish start showing symptoms that are abnormal you can always step up the water changes. Your filter is adjusting to the new additions to the aquarium-- it takes a few weeks for this to happen. Currently it has only been 12 days...
I agree with testing the water, but this might be an example of where testing gets out of hand a little. Most of the time if you just stick with a good, solid maintenance schedule based on certain things (i.e. you added a lot of fish at once, change a little more of the water for a couple of weeks) everything will be ok.
Good luck!
I'm confused. Why did you start adding fish after a bacterial bloom? Did you take readings and find 0ppm ammonia, 0 nitrites and a large amount of nitrates?
It sounds to me like your fishless cycle never had a chance to finish and then you started it over by adding fish, which would offset the amount of ammonia you were supplementing beforehand, probably slowing your cycle. Now you're doing a fish-in cycle, which will take much longer to complete and become much more of a hassle.
Now you just need to carry on as if you never started a fishless cycle, and perform daily water changes to keep your readings of ammonia at .25ppm or less, and keep your nitrites as low as possible.
Continue to do your water changes until you have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and a spike in nitrates. Then you'll have completed your cycle.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
Kevin, the bloom occured two days after I first filled the tank, it then cleared and the tank ran for almost three weeks afterward, fishless. I didn't put the fish in as soon as it cleared. The only test kit I had at the time was for Ph. You have to remember, I've been out of the hobby for nearly 20 years. I had no idea they had kits for testing Nitrites and nitrates at the time. We never had those problems back then as water treatment plants didn't use all the chemicals they use now( I'm guessing here that may be part of the problem). As soon as I found out about the kit I went and bought one.

Dave, I was much like you untill recently. All I used was a pH test kit and did my water changes every two weeks. Suddenly for the first time in years my tank crashed so I bought the whole test kit (wife's Idea) and found out my ammonia levels were way out off whack.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
welcome back to the hobby and sorry to have to learn the hard way.
but if you only could test the pH during your fishless cycle-then you didnt really cycle it at all
you would have had to known the ammonia/nitrite levels for when the cycle would be complete.
so now you are experiencing and going to go through a fishIN cycle. and thats okay, many people go that route.
what dechlorinator are you using for your water changes?
know anyone around you with an established tank? grabbing some of their filter media will help the cycle along.
also-what is your current filtration? if it is under filtered-then your cycle will struggle to get going and complete
How did you do your fishless cycle, Dave? Did you cycle with pure ammonia?
If you cycled and then only added one pleco and 2 corys, you would have only had enough bacteria in your filter to support those 3 fish. A month later, you added 3 more corys and 4 angelfish. Perhaps the addition of these other fish taxed the bio-load.
You can not allow nitrites to be that high and have to do as many large water changes as necessary to bring those nitrites down. They are just as lethal as ammonia levels.
Apparently you had an ammonia spike and why you have those nitrites again. What size filter are you running on your tank and did you clean your filter out?
I am confused - you have 5 ppm nitrites and you haven't done a near 100% water change, yet?! Lady Hobbs is correct and those nitrites are really bad. Also, KevinVA is right on.
Your filter hasn't fully cycled and large water changes to keep nitrites at or below 0.1 ppm are essential. Until then, all else is just waiting for the required bacteria to grow as you do water changes. Late/poor development of nitrite to nitrate conversion bacteria can occur if the ammonia levels were high during cycling (fishless.)
I'd also consider aquarium salt (1 tsp/10 gal water) and an air stone since the fish have burned gills with that nitrite level.
Hope things improve fast and best of luck.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

It's very important to do as many large water changes as possible to get those nitrites down.
I've done a total of 17 partial water changes since I got the test kit middle of last month. The last five were 50% changes, three in the last five days.
Here's how I figured, obviously wrongly but, I wouldn't have had that Cloudy Bloom if there were no Ammonia present,correct? Now, I am basing all this on old experience. Back then we filled the tank with conditioned water, ran it three days without filter media to make sure all Chlorine had dissipated, then run with filter media for the rest of the three week period. Water is obviously treated with a lot more chemicals now.
As for filtration, I'm running an Aqueon50 with the original filter media in ita Fluval U1 sat one end with a sponge, mainly to provide some circular current, and a 80 gallon rated Sponge Filter at the other end driven by a Whisper 10-30. Plenty of surface disruption and I should be adequately filtered although I have a 55/75 on order from the LFS.
I just did another 50% change this morning, letting the water circulate a bit before I test again.

archer66, here is something you might consider using. This is a photo of a young pup. She was older than yours (9 months) and was well past FF at the time. Daisy was a very precocious pup (like yours).
At that age, she was running a tower shoot......the youngest by far working that day. "Euro" shoots mean many exciting retrieves, adrenelin "boosts" and distractions including often crippled, big rooster pheasants .
In order to have more control over her delivery, she was wearing a short tab. This allowed me to take hold of it and "settle her down" before asking her to "give" any retrieve. It provided the opportunity to impress upon her, "Hey....remember me? and what you are supposed to do?" The focus was on responsiveness.
Here's a link for all the photos featuring Daisy's tab.

Short characteristic : Very modern feel. The flat, wide shape is extremely easy to accelerate - at all sailing levels. The board can carry a 8.0 m2 sail very well.
Intermediate 5 of 5 stars
Freeride 5 of 5 stars
Freerace 5 of 5 stars
Planing (Start) : 13 of 15 points (Excellent)
On Land: The widest board of the testgroup has improved footstrap positions. Starboard has introduced "normal freerideposition", which has been missing in the last years test. A middlestrap does not exist, but does not make any sense on a board with such a wide tail construction. The nose is extremely thin, the concave deckshape collects water like a bathtub for birds. The bottom shape has a deep double concave far back to the finbox, with a very visible V upfront.
On Water: The FUTURA 122 convinces with good control and excellent average speed. The planing position does not feel as free as on the FUTURA 133. However, the board can be kept in good control all the time and accelerates without a lot of effort. It feels extremely stable and it always seems to find the perfect planing position automatically. The board feels comfortable cushioned below the feet. This fact boosts the comfort in sailing while topspeed. When turning the wide shape does a relaxed and comfortabe job, but stays very safe on the rail. Just in narrow speedy turns the board is limited compared to the "needles" of this testgroup (66-69 cm versus 71 cm width).

Getting Blood From A Stone
Why It Matters
Do Stones Bleed?
Do stones bleed? Well, no, but there is an organism in Chile that gives that impression. Watch this:
The animal is Pyura chilensis a type of tunicate (Phylum: Chordata; subphylum: Tunicata formerly Urochordata). Look here to find out more about this organism
- http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/running-ponies/2012/06/21/pyura-chilensis-the-closest-thing-to-getting-blood-from-a-stone/

- What do ascidian tunicates use vanadium (V; atomic number: 23) for? Where is it found in these tunicates? Is vanadium common in animals?
- What advantage do you think a tunicate gains by being able to reverse blood flow? What about the form of a tunicate makes this functioning of the heart a successful strategy for them while it doesn't seem to advantageous for other organisms?

It happens only if method returns registered data type and if method have virtual definition in base class.
My code:
[source lang="cpp"]virtual my_type Base::method() = 0;...my_type Derived::method(){ ... this->field = 10; // EXC_BAD_ACCESS ...}[/source]
If i replace code above with:
[source lang="cpp"]virtual void Base::method(my_type &res) = 0;...void Derived::method(my_type &res){ ... this->field = 10; // OK ...}[/source]
problem will disappear.
I have this problem only on ios device. i've tested my code on windows, osx and iphone simulator - all is ok. If i replace 'my_type' to 'int' all is ok as well.
It looks like calling of virtual methods with wrong object.
So, what it can be?

This is another figure that has totally blown me away!
I think the detail: from the sculpt, including a much larger base of the gown (the train of the gown?), to the intricate paint detail, to the added articulation seems really nice. I almost like this one a little more than Amidala in Red Gown, but only because the base of the gown is more proportionate on this new figure!
A+ based on the prototype. Hasbro's on a roll!

Brooklyn Park woman sues pain clinic
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Brooklyn Park woman is suing a pain clinic for using contaminated steroids linked to a nationwide meningitis outbreak last year.
Traci Maccoux's lawsuit is the first against Medical Advanced Pain Specialists in connection with the outbreak. The clinic was one of two in Minnesota that bought contaminated steroids from New England Compounding Center, which has since filed for bankruptcy.
The 23-year-old Maccoux was hospitalized for 10 days last October after she developed fungal meningitis. She had received steroid shots for pain in July and August. The Star Tribune says the lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County, alleges the clinic was negligent in using the steroids.
The clinic declined to comment specifically on the lawsuit, but said in a statement that its patients remain its focus and priority.

For Harry, the Hogwarts campus has always been a sanctuary, but when Black escapes from the horrifying clutches of Azkaban Prison, all clues suggest the madman is headed for Hogwarts and Harry himself. As a result, the school starts to feel more like a prison than a sanctuary as Harry finds himself constantly watched and under guard. What's more, the terrifying Dementors -- the horrifying creatures who guard Azkaban Prison -- are lurking about the campus looking for Black. And their effect on Harry is a devastating one.
Still, life at school offers plenty of distractions. Harry really likes the new teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin, who might be able to teach Harry how to defend himself against the Dementors. But Professor Snape's behavior toward Lupin has Harry wondering what secrets the two men are hiding. Harry's friend Hermione is also acting very strangely. And, of course, there is the tension caused by the ongoing Quidditch competition between the Gryffindors and the Slytherins and the never-ending bullying of the Slytherin leader, Draco Malfoy.
One of Rowling's greatest strengths is her ability to stack mystery upon mystery in a way that keeps the pages turning without frustrating the reader. Her clues are always fair and bountiful, but it's easy to lose track of them in the midst of all the high suspense, spell-casting action, and unexpected plot twists. That's okay, because Rowling ties it all neatly together at the end in a way that will leave readers snapping their fingers and muttering, "Oh yeah. Forgot about that one. How clever!"

Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia
Woman's ceremonial skirt
[tapis inu]
19th century
cotton, silk, natural dyes
126.5 (h) x 122.0 (w) cm
Purchased 1989
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
Throughout Lampung many textile designs display enigmatic anthropomorphic figures with radiating headdresses. Strange figures appear in the silk embroidered bands on noblewomen's skirts, some with hourglass torsos, others dissolving into fluid squid-like forms. Often in pairs, and sometimes with exposed genitalia, they suggest ancestral imagery on textiles worn at rites and celebrations associated with fertility and abundance.
While large palepai hangings usually display boats, potent symbols of transition, another striking design shows rows of seated figures with curling limbs and elaborate head ornaments. Displayed at feasts of rank and given to the eldest son of local clan or district leaders as a mark of hereditary leadership, the figures may symbolise the genealogical ancestors of the local ruling families.

All About Jazz - Raul d'Gama Rose
Poetry has always been the libretto of jazz music. Even before epic works of the late Gil Scott Heron like "H2O Gate Blues" or "Winter in America" (which inspired the nations of rap and hip-hop), there was Langston Hughes with bassist Charles Mingus on Weary Blues (Verve, 1958), the great Amiri Baraka, and A.B. Spellman. Then there was Kenneth Patchen, one of The Rebel Poets of America, an enigmatic legend who, if he chose, might have laid claim to creating special arias in the realm of jazz. Not only did they pulse the meter of their verse around the beat of jazz (especially bebop), but sometimes they even cut up or shred words like the melodic lines of the musical idiom of jazz - chopped like pianist Thelonious Monk's own pianism. Whole verses meandered like rampant improvisations, dallying before or after the shuffle and swing of the music - words strung like short or long necklaces bejeweled with augmented and diminished notes/words sung like wicked, twisted and brilliant arpeggios - necklaces snapped and beads running around like words rambling around the music. The jazz arias of Kenneth Patchen...
Mingus often talked of his unrecorded work with Kenneth Patchen. He did record with poet Jean Shepherd on The Clown (Atlantic, 1984), and with poet Melvin Stewart on New York Sketchbook (Bethlehem, 1986). But Patchen was on hiatus; his oeuvre was already legendary by then. It has taken decades for percussionist John Hollenbeck to create something as exquisite as What Is The Beautiful for his Claudia Quintet +1. Here, Patchen is sung or recited by vocalists Kurt Elling, in his inimitable baritone, and Theo Bleckmann, who brings to life the dreamy earthen landscapes the poet fashioned like complex tapestries, knitting and weaving his narration as, hitherto, only Patchen himself has. Here, however, the two vocalists conjure the spirit of the poet as they re-imagine the beautiful dreamscapes in their own singular manners. ... read more...
Album Reviews:
Down Beat (p.84) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "The singers play a crucial role on this album, because it's Kenneth Patchen's pioneering poetry that serves as its launching pad."
