We are so grateful to Journey's supports who helped raise $680 towards his medical bills on my first race for Team Journey. His last vet visit had cost just under $950 and that included an echo for his heart and x-rays which determined the seriousness of his spine problems. He will be going in every couple months (vet recommends every 4-6 months) for another echo so we can keep a monitor on his heart and also determine what meds to put him on for that. His echo visits will be close to $450 each visit. He is so happy to know he has such great friends and family that want to help keep him healthy and happy. Thank you everyone! Terri (mom)
WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT TEAM JOURNEY! Check out his Facebook Page when you can: https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/groups/341636512594578/

BACKGROUND INFO (brief history): Journey was the little bitty runt we saved from a bad situation in Proctor, Arkansas in May, 2012. With the blistering heat in Arkansas, we had to make the decision to take Journey away from his mom and siblings at the age of approximately 2 weeks old as his health was deteriorating. Journey is the only bottle fed little puppy we have ever had and the bond was formed immediately. Our dog sitter, Aynalyse, even helped save this precious boy by feeding him while we were at work. Everyone loved Journey (and you would understand if you met him).
Journey at approximately 2 weeks old:
Journey a couple weeks later:
From the beginning, you could tell that little Journey had some difficulties walking. He was always a little "different" and we prayed we could find the perfect family to care for our little guy in time. Well…that prayer was answered when a young couple, Luke and Terri, applied to adopt Journey in Wisconsin. Thanks to Allie's sis, Kelly, Journey hitched a ride to Wisconsin.
Our last photo together as a little pup…taken just before the hand-off to Allie's sis:
Journey even got to hang out with the infamous Wilbur (RIP sweet boy) in St. Louis, my sis' special doggy
Journey's arrival in Wisconsin!
Our dear friends Jaime and Glen assisted with the adoption process since they live in Wisconsin as well. We were able to visit Journey in November, 2012, when he was about 6 months old. What a joy it was to see this little guy thriving under Terri and Luke's care.
Recently, the couple noticed that Journey was having more difficulty walking and was extremely short of breath. We knew from previous vet appointments that he has always had a heart murmur. He broke his leg not too long after being adopted (an accident by his little kitty friend and a chair….). Journey even had laser treatments and hydro (water) therapy to help his legs! He seemed to have difficulty with his leg healing properly, but this was different…something else was wrong.
Terri and Luke took Journey to see their vet and then ultimately, a heart specialist. Ultimately, Terri and Luke were given the bad news that Journey's heart valves are not working properly. They also indicated that he has some skeletal abnormalities that are of serious concern due to possible fractures in the future. The specialist did not seem to think that Journey would live more than about 2 years. Our heart sunks as we heard that, so we cannot imagine how his "parents" felt. However, one thing we know for sure is that Journey is a true fighter. He has been given pain medication and they plan to try some heart medications in the near future.
Waiting on the Doc to come in for the Echo Oct 21st
Journey chilling at home
In the meantime, Terri has decided to dedicate her new-found love of running to their sweet boy. Her very first HALF MARATHON (her second so far though) in honor of Journey is this Saturday, November 9th in Nashville, TN. We would be elated if we could gather some financial support for Terri and Luke on behalf of Journey so that he can receive whatever medical care he may need in the future. His bill is already quite large as you can imagine. This guy is so special everyone. He is on a Journey (thanks to our friend Susan for that wonderful and fitting name) and we would LOVE for you all to be a part of it. Terri plans to dedicate all of her runs to rescue dogs in need, whether it be for Journey or another precious soul, so please help us support her in her efforts. Journey's needs are ongoing, so please feel free to donate after the race if unable at this time.
Much love to you all, Allie and Kevin Carroll
Terri's very first Half Marathon!!!
We couldn't let Terri go to her first dedicated race without the right gear! The back says "Rescue Foster Adopt"
Gus found himself all alone in a shelter in Arkansas in the spring of 2010. Luckily, Allison, Director of Woof Connections, had planned a rescue trip to Wisconsin to take some other homeless doggies to a rescue in Neenah, and one of her rescue connections told her that a family member had been looking for a yellow Lab puppy. She saw Gus, who was named Buck at that time, and she quickly took a photo and emailed it to her friend. Her friend saw it, forwarded it to the interested family, and it was love at first sight! Gus was added to the transport, which was taking place the next day.
Gus traveled with Allison and Kevin through the night to Wisconsin, along with other lucky doggie companions, and arrived in Neenah early in the morning. His foster mama greeted him with love and snuggles, and he quickly acclimated to life in the north!
Gus was adopted by the foster mom's husband's aunt and uncle, who had been waiting for a dog like Gus to be part of their family. The first time they met him, they quickly fell in love with this precious little puppy.
Gus has grown to be a happy-go-lucky, loving, playful little guy who loves everyone he meets, and has brought tons of joy to his family and all their family and friends. It was a match made in heaven!
More pictures of Gus with his extended family in Wisconsin…he is so loved by everyone!
Pixie was rescued with her mama and siblings from a sad situation in Arkansas.
Woof Connections helped coordinate to get them to another rescue group where they could be cared for and adopted.
This sweet mama and precious pups were so happy and thankful to be rescued and taken to safety and then to their forever homes!
Allie grew up in St. Louis, Missouri with 3 sisters. Even though they may not look alike, Allie shares her love of animals with her fraternal twin sister, Kelly.
Growing up, animals were always welcome in their home (and boy did they have some!). Allie's mom, Ruth, was notorious in the neighborhood and amongst her friends for "bringing home anything that needed help". Allie grew up taking care of numerous dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and fish. She is definitely a "softy" when it comes to animals in need.
Allie moved to Arkansas in 1999 for her first job as an Occupational Therapist. She is currently a self-employed therapist and contracts with several preschools.
Allie met her husband, Kevin, in 2002 and they were married in Eureka Springs in 2003. She became involved in rescue after answering an ad for a volunteer photographer at a local shelter in 2007. It became apparent that the pictures were an integral part of the whole adoption process, sometimes the most important in her eyes because without them, no one would know the pup existed. Allie wanted to make sure that every pup was "seen", so she spent most of her free time photographing shelter dogs and putting them on the internet (Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, etc.).
It didn't take long for the whole family to become involved in helping the homeless pups at the shelter. Allie started a Blog for the group that she and her husband volunteered with for over 3 years in order to showcase the pups that needed homes.
In 2010, she and her husband Kevin ventured out "on their own" to form Woof Connections. In addition to 4 personal dogs (all rescues), Allie and Kevin have fostered countless dogs in the past 5 years.
He was the most precious little chub…albeit very stinky – so bathtime was first priority! He quickly became adjusted to his new foster canine siblings and was a loving little puppy.
Luckily, Allison posted him online and Ann Brownell showed his pictures to Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter – UPAWS – in Negaunee Township, MI) members and they agreed to take him into their program. They also added several more pups to their list to rescue from the Osceola Animal Shelter in Osceola, AR.
In March, 2011, he and 6 others (terme the "Lucky 7") headed to WI, where a UPAWS volunteer met them and transported them to MI. Allison drove the pups to St. Louis, where she met fellow rescuer Kelly, who coordinated their overnight stay at Off the Leash Dog Grooming in Ballwin, MO.
They then met up with another transport that originated in Springfield, MO. Transport coordinator extraordinaire Kerin put together a "Run Sheet" for the leg-to-leg transport, where volunteer drivers (the "Rescue Road Warriors") picked up the babies and headed north.
The journey didn't end there. Not only did amazing people volunteer their time and gas to drive short distances (typically 1-2 hours each), several offered their homes the next night so that these (and other rescued doggies) could snooze in the comfort of a home before heading out the next morning.
On Sunday, they arrived at their final destination in MI. A huge thank you to everyone along the way to helped these pups get rescued – from Beth in WI who hooked Woof Connections up with Ann from UPAWS, to shelter manager Dyana for agreeing to this amazing rescue.
Here is a video of Ruddick at UPAWS playing in the snow just before he was adopted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGsr8U8ZpKw
By the end of March, all the puppies were adopted, including Ruddick, the last adopted of the bunch, on March 31, 2011.
Ruddick is now "Rex" and according to his adopter is "one very happy dog! I am definitely enjoying life with him!" Here is a picture of him in his new home!
Kevin grew up with 3 older brothers in a small town in Arkansas, not far from Memphis, TN. Living out in the country, Kevin always had strays coming up to the property that he would take under his wing. His love for animals comes from his mom for sure! Although his mom is no longer with us, she has a special place in his heart. He is so grateful that she taught him to be so loving and compassionate towards all living creatures.
Kevin has 2 children, Logan (age 20) and Hannah (age 14), who also love animals and enjoy helping him with the "next project" when they visit. His regular "day job" is with FedEx Freight in Memphis.
Kevin became involved in "rescue" officially back in 2007 when he and his wife, Allie, began volunteering to take pictures of the shelter dogs in need where they lived. He can typically be seen holding a pup or two with a Pittsburgh Steelers shirt or hat on!
One day at the shelter, Kevin overheard one of the Animal Control worker's talking a litter of puppies that were "next on the list". What he found out was that was the code for who was going to be euthanized next. He immediately called Allie to discuss what they could do. That was the beginning of fostering at the Carroll house.
Kevin at one point even worked part-time at the local shelter in the hopes that it would help facilitate a relationship between Animal Control and the rescue he and Allie later volunteered with.
Kevin and Allie decided to begin their own rescue in 2010 and are excited about the future of Woof Connections.
UPDATE 4/13/13: BLUE IS READY FOR A FOREVER HOME!!! This girl has survived the odds and has completely finished her heartworm treatment. She still needs to get some of the "steroid" weight off, but is otherwise doing fantastic! An ideal home for Blue would be a quiet home with very patient and understanding people. Blue has never lived in a "home" per se, so she will need to slowly get used to living inside an entire house. We suspect she would be very content to hang out on the couch or a doggy bed in time. She will be very shy at first, but does come around with time. Blue LOVES treats and is a creature of routine (don't even think about forgetting to give her a little treat when she comes inside- lol- she will stand there and stare at you!). She loves dinner time too and gets VERY excited! We believe it would be best for her to go to a home without young children as they can be very unpredictable and would likely scare her. Before coming to our house, Blue lived for years outside with a pack of dogs and her owner. She never knew when she was going to eat and had several litters of puppies. We are ELATED that she does not have to worry about that anymore. We thank everyone who supported her so very much…words cannot express how much you all mean to us.
UPDATE 3/04/13: Blue underwent the last heartworm treatment(s) on February 15th and 16th and so far is doing VERY WELL! Please continue your prayers so that she can get over this hump and eventually find the perfect family! Thank you ALL for your encouraging words and support. This girl has been through a lot and she deserves the best life!
UPDATE 1/19/13: BLUE is now half-way through a regular treatment dose and is doing very well!!! In approximately 2 weeks, she will go to the vet for a regular or "back-to-back" treatment. So she has about 6-8 more weeks ahead of her until she is in the clear so please continue to pray for this sweet girl!
UPDATE 11/13/12: BLUE started heartworm treatment today. After lengthy discussions with Doc and another vet that Doc recommended, we decided to treat Blue with immiticide (the medication used in treating heartworm), however, we are going to give it to her in several "staged" treatments. For instance, her first dose today was half of the normal dose for a staged treatment (a typical staged treatment consists of a half dose on month one and then a regular dose split between day 30 and 31). If Blue did not have any symptoms (i.e., no enlarged heart and no lung changes), the treatment would have consisted of 2 back-to-back treatments. Please say prayers for her yet again!
Yes we realize this precious girl does not have blue eyes. Long story short: Blue Eyes was named by her previous "owner". She is approximately 3-4 years old and lived in the country with up to 35 dogs at one point not long ago. We saw a post on Facebook from a friend of a friend about "tons of dogs left to fend for themselves". I (Allie) went out there to check out the situation one day and took pictures of the dogs. WOWZA…lots of dogs for sure. There is a man who takes care of them, Mr. B, but he has limited resources as well. Mr B. is essentially homeless and lives on a passenger van basically with some of his dogs (yes we have tried to help, but he prefers to stay there). We became friends over the next few months and offered to help him get his dogs spayed/neutered. We were able to get all of the females spayed except 2 (they were feral…still working on it though) thanks to many doggy angels who donated funds, etc. That's when we met Blue Eyes. Ol' BLue Eyes was pregnant along with another female, Wolfie. Between the two of them, they had 14 babies. Wolfie did not appear to have enough milk to feed the babies, so precious Blue Eyes nursed them all (that is what we suspect based on numerous "clues"). We found rescue for all of the puppies when they were ready and proceeded to have those two spayed not long after the puppies were weaned.
Blue Eyes is on the right in this picture (taken in April)
Puppies the day of the rescue!
Blue and Wolfie came to stay with us after being spayed in July with the intent to return them to Mr. B after a few days of recovery. We realized that Blue was just miserable out in the heat and could not breathe very well. Wolfie was not happy being confined and spent much of her time outside, but Blue was different. She clearly enjoyed the air conditioning and soft beds that we provided. It became evident that we would just HAVE to keep her. We returned Wolfie to Mr. B after she healed and she was elated! Blue is a shy girl, but she has already come so far! She absolutely ADORES treats when she comes in from outside! We knew that Blue would be heartworm positive because she had never had heartworm preventative and had lived outside 24/7 for 3-4 years (her entire life) with a zillion mosquitoes (that is how heartworm is transmitted). No biggie…we would just treat her after she became stronger and gained some weight like we had done with many rescued doggies in the past.
Well about 2 weeks ago, Blue began coughing and having a difficult time breathing. Her tummy has always been distended, but we became worried about that too. We took her to the vet only to find out that her heart was VERY enlarged and she had fluid on her lungs (pulmonary edema). The xrays don't lie…HUGE heart . Doc is fairly certain the heart and lung "changes" are the result of heartworm disease. Xrays also revealed this poor baby had been shot (buckshot…5 visible fragments if you will show on xray). Anyway, Doc put BLue on several medications and asked us to return for a follow up visit today (October 18th, 2012). Repeat xrays were done and the results were the same. Blue's prognosis was not good based upon her enlarged heart and lung changes. Doc was going to start heartworm treatment today (stage 1), however she is not sure that Blue would survive (well truth be known, deep down, neither of us thought she would make it). The next step is to consult with a fellow veterinarian on Tuesday to determine whether she may be a candidate for surgical removal of some heartworms from the right atrium (heartworm embolectomy). She is technically in the 3rd stage of heartworm disease (thankfully has not progressed to the final vena caval syndrome yet, which is deadly).
So in a nutshell, Blue Eyes needs a miracle. She has many supporters who love her and pray for her, but we can always use more. We will update everyone when we hear more from the vet next week.
]]>Our sweet boy Tux has been in foster care over 4 years waiting patiently for his forever companions to find him. He LOVES people…he adores attention and playtime and is such a loverboy! He is also super smart and is easy to train! He would prefer to be the only dog in his new home as he is insecure around other dogs. He would not be a "dog park" type dog as he prefers to keep to himself. He truly would make an incredible buddy to someone. This wonderful loverboy would love to bring you joy and laughter for years to come!
Beautiful, sweet Mama has also been in foster care for 4 years. She is a very loving Shepherd mix girl who is about 5-6 years old, who adores attention and LOVES playtime! She also loves to talk and tell you how much she loves you! She is also very smart and loves being rewarded for good behavior. This adorable sweetheart would love to be your true companion for years to come!
Percy is a loving, sweet boy who is very special to us. He is visually impaired so needs a home that will take that into consideration, to make sure he doesn't get underfoot. He LOVES to greet people and LOVE LOVE LOVE you! He would do best in a home where he is the only male dog as he is protective over his food due to his visual impairment – he is happy when it is left out all the time. This beautiful loverboy would love to shower you with love and adoration for years to come!
Peanut is the GREATEST CUDDLER in the world! He loves people and is so snuggly and cute. He is about 3 1/2 years old and gets along great with the dogs in his foster home, loves to play with toys and would do best in a home that is low-activity. He is a little afraid of men initially, but a calm man would be just fine. This little sweetheart would love to be your little guy forever! We prefer to find a home within driving distance from Memphis, TN or St. Louis, MO so that Peanut could acclimate to a new family slowly (he is very attached to his foster family).
Coming soon!
]]>This southern couple has helped rescue pups since 2007. They began volunteering to take pictures of homeless pups at local animal shelters and subsequently joined a local nonprofit organization. They had no idea the plight of so many animals in the area.
In 2010, they decided to leave the non-profit organization and venture out on our own. Woof Connections was officially born in May, 2010.
Kevin and Allison's dream is to purchase property so that they can provide temporary housing for the homeless pups in their area while they search for fur-ever homes for them. Woof Connections is a love connection of sorts…their focus is on connecting homeless fur-babies with their nearly hairless counterparts. They commit themselves fully to the "rescue," regardless of the financial and emotional costs involved. In other words, they will do whatever it takes within their means to save a life. Even though they are very small, they desire to make a difference in as many lives as they possibly can. They hope to educate the commuity about the importance of controlling the over-population through spaying and neutering as well.
]]>We are proud to partner with a variety of rescues across the U.S. and will coordinate transport to get these dogs off death row and into safety. We are always looking for new animal rescue partners; if you are interested in partnering with us to take in dogs and puppies that we rescue, please contact Allison at email@example.com or 901-240-9848.

Tulle4us Complaint - Horrific Customer Service, Poor Quality Clothing
Review by
Comments (5)
I've ordered from Tulle a few times and loved what I bought. I recently bought 2 dresses, received them on time and everything fit great - loved what I got! One of them I hung with the tags still on in the closet for a week to save for an event. When I took it out to iron before wearing, the fabric MELTED under the iron. I had it on the lowest setting b/c the material is synthetic. I couldn't believe it! I emailed Tulle right away and they refused to take back the damaged dress even though it was still within the time frame to return it. I emailed them 3 times and they refused. I even asked to exchange it for a new one which I would have dry cleaned rather than ironing or washing. But no! So, they sell POOR quality clothes and don't stand behind their product.

Do the care directions on the dress say not to iron it? If so, that could be why tulle4us refused to refund it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-03-06:
"So, they sell POOR quality clothes"
It's not a poor quality fabric if it melts under an iron. Not everything can be ironed.
Depends on what synthetic fabric was used. Not all synthetic fabrics can be ironed and can, in fact, melt under the heat no matter how low you set the iron for.
Or, if you place an ironing cloth over the garment... that's usually what's done with synthetic fabric when you need to iron it. That way, it doesn't directly take the heat and you can still get the wrinkles out without harming the fabric.
Was your garment rayon, acrylic, nylon, acetate? It matters what it's made of because not everything can be ironed.
Did the clothing come with care instructions?
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-03-06:
What did the care tag inside say about ironing? Unless it stated it would stand up to ironing or heat in the dryer, you basically damaged it. That is not poor quality. That is abuse and no, they should not refund.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-03-06:
If the garment was made out of acrylic, or acrylic and something else, like the one dress I found on the site that was close to the price of $70 bucks... you cannot use the iron directly onto the garment.
1.) You must first turn the garment inside out, as you will get the best results for ironing anything with acrylic in it.
2.) Place garment on a flat surface, preferably the ironing board.
3.) Take room temperature water and dampen a white wash cloth. Don't soak it down, just dampen it.
4.) Place the dampened cloth onto the garment and press the warmed iron (on the lowest setting) onto the cloth. Avoid ironing the garment directly as this will cause irreparable damage in some cases. Rather than moving the iron back and forth as in typical iron motion, lower the iron and then lift. Once you have covered the entire area of the cloth, you can move the cloth to a new area and begin again. Repeat on the other side of the garment if necessary.
5.) Once you have completely ironed your garment, hang up (not on a wire hanger) or fold.
Acrylic can never be ironed with direct heat as it will melt and stretch... even at the lowest setting.
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-03-06:
bkk - kinda like the navy dress whites. you can at least use the lowest settings but you still have to do it inside out mostly. and through a towel is best.
i have seen sailors melt their dress whites.

Horribly disappointed in the poor quality - Tulle outerwear

Saitek's new gaming keyboard, the $80 Cyborg, borrows heavily from the Saitek Eclipse, a keyboard designed for geeks, but not necessarily for gamers. In comparison, the Cyborg has gamer written all over it. The unit is large next to most competitors, but all of the keys and the touch panel at the top of the keyboard are well-spaced.
The integrated touch-sensitive readout is a unique feature. In place of media control buttons or dials, the touch panel allows you to change the volume and key brightness, as well as switch between "human mode" and "cyborg mode" by pressing specific areas on the panel. The panel isn't an LCD display. Rather, you can tell which functions are active based on whether the corresponding symbol is illuminated on the panel.
Cyborg mode disables the Windows key (so that you don't accidentally press it while gaming) and allows you to customize the key backlighting of different keyboard areas. You can choose among a handful of colors for the general backlight. But, in cyborg mode, you can pick the backlight color you want specifically for the WASD keys, arrow keys, numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard as well. You can also turn backlighting off in certain places, while leaving it on in others.
The WASD keys are covered with a smooth, metallic finish, which makes them instantly identifiable to the touch. Overall, the keys are well-spaced and rise a little higher than competing models, so they should feel familiar to anyone not accustomed to gaming keyboards.
Whereas the X6 and the G19 have programmable keys on the left side of the keyboard, the Cyborg has six programmable switches down the left and right sides. These angle up from the board's plane, and they click down and back up with a firmer feel than regular keys. This way, you'll never mistake them for normal keys. Unfortunately, you only get 12 of them.
The Cyborg also sports a powered USB hub, as well as stereo output and microphone input jacks. With these, you can attach additional devices directly into the keyboard instead of feeding cables to the back of your computer.
Gaming on the Saitek Cyborg reminded me of why the Eclipse and Eclipse II are such popular keyboards. The keys feel solid under your fingers, and the keyboard is heavy enough that it doesn't move during intense gaming. The touch panel is a fingerprint magnet, but it's a fun alternative to discrete media keys.

- Okay, now I m really confused. Looking at this output: http://pastebin.com/f5c759f53 It looks like the path is set correctly. Ash seems to be using a versionApr 24, 2009View SourceOkay, now I'm really confused. Looking at this output:
It looks like the path is set correctly. Ash seems to be using a version of 'find' that's not from /urs/bin *or* /opt/bin. Line 10 shows output from the version of 'find' that ash is using, line 15 shows the output from the version in /usr/bin, and line 29 shows the output from the version in /opt/bin (the findutils version, the version that I actually want).
Since the steps clearly show that /opt/bin is at the front of the path (don't know where this is being set from, but I suppose that doesn't matter) - where on earth is ash getting getting this 3rd copy of find??
Sorry, I realise now this is far more linux/shell related than slug related :S

There are differences between /bin/sh (the busybox "ash" shell) and bash
-- these differences may result in strange behavior of your device, or
may even prevent it from booting correctly.
I'm still confused - why not just set the default shell for your login
account to /bin/bash, and be done with all this? If you need to run
bash for some reason from a startup script then just invoke bash
directly from your startup script:
do whatever stuff one needs...

No. A great deal of work was done to make it possible to use the
busybox find applet, in order to save flash space.
> 3. Is there a reason that Unslung is still using BusyBox 1.3.1? They look to have got to 1.14.x now.
Er -- Unslung 6.x pre-dates busybox 1.14 by a loooong ways. You have to
look at what was generally considered a stable version of busybox back
when Unslung 6.x development was underway.
Also, there's the need for flash space; the design goal for the 6.x
busybox was to add the applets necessary to be able to do the unsling
operation with a minimum of extra flash space consumed, and to do so
while retaining compatibility with the busybox version shipped by
Linksys (because of dependencies and custom Linksys patches to busybox).
The intent is that should one require non-busybox utils, one would
install procps, core-utils, bash, etc. and set the appropriate shells
and paths (as has been suggested in previous emails).

"How important is it to create different types of content for marketing campaigns? Do I need to create video content, SlideShare presentations and blogs, along with everything else I do?"
That's the question a marketing colleague recently posed to me, which led to a discussion about the importance of repurposing content for various channels. Having multiple forms of content allows marketers to significantly expand the reach of your brand. Search engines play favorites for content—especially video—that resides outside the walls of your site. The more social references to your content, the wider your exposure to future search visitors. The end result? Higher consumption and more leads.
But how to think of this in terms of content distribution? Here are three steps I encourage you to take:
1) Determine how your audience prefers to absorb content. Before we talk about taking the time to create content for every possible platform, whether it's writing blog posts, creating YouTube videos, or crafting the perfect tweet, it's important to start by thinking about your customers and prospects. How do they prefer to absorb information? Some people learn by watching, some by doing, some by reading … the list goes on.
If you don't know their preferences, then now is the time to ask. Include this question in your next customer survey, and the answer may surprise you. You could easily discover that a large portion of your audience prefers to print out product tutorials and make notes in the margins, and here you thought video instruction was the way to go. Armed with this information, you can now tailor your website to easily print your guides in a format that includes margins for notes.
While that example might not work for your business, the primary point is that as marketers, we cannot decide which content formats are best based solely on assumptions. Take the time to reach out and ask. For prospects, include this question on opt-in forms and start to build a record of it in your database. Additionally, it will help to take the time to do an analysis of what formats were most popular in the past year. Again, the results may surprise you.
2) Establish simple ways to replicate your content for another channel. After determining the formats your audience prefers, the next step is to find ways to easily replicate your content for another channel. Creating meaningful content can be time-consuming, but if you establish a standard process, it will get easier every time. A great baby step might include a goal to pull two to three tweets from every blog that gets posted, or take the time to put your already-created PowerPoint presentations on SlideShare.
My colleague Loren McDonald shares a fascinating story about how after speaking to a group of 150 marketers, he posted his presentation on SlideShare and tweeted it to his network. Within two weeks he had nearly 1,500 downloads on SlideShare. That content went from an audience of 100 to 1,600 with only a few extra minutes of effort. Take a look at Ann Handley and C.C Chapman's book Content Rules for more detailed information on this strategy.
3) Define the path for content consumption. Once you've discovered your audience's preferred content types, and started developing habits to repurpose your content, it's time to define a clear path that you want your customers and prospects to take should they continue to engage with your brand.
This could mean providing free non-gated content that clearly advertises a link to what the visitor should consume next. Something like, "Enjoyed these 10 tips to better project management? Check out the recorded Webinar - 'Creating Value Through the PMO.'"
This allows you to create a path through the sales funnel, all the way to conversion. Look for a series from me in the summer months detailing more about designing an effective content path.

Bryan, Nice piece. A recent survey showed that getting enough quality content was the second largest issue that content marketers face. Anytime you can do more with your content, you help minimize that problem.
Hi Jim, I agree and really like your publisher approach. With limited resources marketers can really benefit from this.
Cecilia, Glad you liked it. I agree it's overwhelming to try and create new content all the time. Which is why I'm a big fan of leveraging a single content idea across blogs, video, webinars, etc,.
Bryan, we see companies struggling with the operational challenges of executing these important ideas. These high level prescriptions are a critical starting point. Reality is, most audiences want to consume visually (Slideshare) and with video. A publishing operating model looks at every content project through a different lens: to create short and long form text, visual and video (audio) based content. We must have an operating strategy to build this content before it's needed. We're in a real time selling (and marketing) mode today. This microsite will provide a prescriptive publishing operations model to do this with lower time, effort and cost than the traditional, "point production" and even re-purposing approaches: http://content.avitage.com/create-like-a-publisher-microsite.html
This is a great article! People always say that "Content is King" but it seems really hard to provide fresh and unique content everyday... This article is so helpful in using my content to the best. Thanks for sharing~

Donepezil is in a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors. It improves mental function (such as memory, attention, social interaction, reasoning and language abilities, and ability to perform activities of daily living) by increasing the amount of a certain naturally occurring substance in the brain.

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on May 17, 2012.
Incorrect Info?
If you are a provider and you believe your address is incorrect, check the listing you created on the National Provider Identifier registry.

A lovely day out
Cogges Manor Farm Museum (Witney)

Cogges Manor Farm Museum (Witney)
Date: 17/07/09, updated on 18/07/09 (102 review reads)
Advantages: Helpful staff, friendly animals, lovely setting, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
Last week I accompanied my son and his autism teacher on a trip to Cogges Manor Farm Museum in Witney. Children with autistic spectrum disorders are often more comfortable and relaxed with animals, as they don't feel under pressure to say or do the right thing at the right time. We went on a school day as my son finds it hard to cope with crowds.
Cogges Manor Farm Museum is described as 'a unique, working museum depicting Oxfordshire rural life in Victorian times set in an historic manor house and Cotswold stone farm buildings'.
Once we were in Witney, we had no trouble with directions as it was well sign-posted for what I thought was going to be a small basic museum. There is only disabled parking on the actual museum site, the main car park is behind a local primary school. We walked down a path next to the school, and correctly guessed to turn left because we could hear bleating in that direction. (It could benefit from a small sign so pedestrians don't have to guess whether to go left or right) It was less than a five minute walk in all.
At the entrance there was a board showing coming themed weekends, including a dinosaur dig. We walked over a mat to clean our shoes, and walked into a small courtyard which had some picnic benches and a small wood-chipped children's play area featuring painted wooden animals and a small slide. There was a brown horse and a grey donkey in a small field adjoining the courtyard, and the visitor centre building on the left which includes a gift shop where you can buy fresh farm eggs and seasonal produce, and a cafeteria selling homemade cakes and ice cream(which was shut between 12-1pm on the day we visited, but is probably open all day during weekends and holidays).
The ticket prices are Adult £6.00, Child (3 to 16) £2.50, Concessions £5, Family (2 adults & 2 children) £15.00. We were also given free site maps.
When we walked out of the visitor centre into the main farmyard the first thing we noticed was the smell of the pigs! There is a group of three styes, one houses the older piglets who were playing with a muddy football, and the mother is in the next stye with her new piglets. There is a gap in the wall between the styes which is designed to let water run through for cleaning, and the keeper was trying to wedge a washing up bowl in the space through concern the little piglets would get through the space and get bitten by their older relatives. Even though dry wooden steps are provided, there is a fair bit of muck and mud around the styes and a change of shoes would be sensible!
The farm is set in the Victorian age and the staff from the museum guides to the farm hands and dairy maids are dressed in Victorian outfits.
There is plenty of Victorian farm machinery around the site, from shepherds huts, to horse drawn bread vans, ploughs, etc. We didn't see much of that as we were focusing on the animals. There were plenty of babies around - a pen of goslings, some chicks in a specially lit tank (I was told you can request to hold one), and there were two lambs running round the farmyard causing mischief together like delinquent school-children, very cute! There were some pregnant cows resting in stalls, and lots of chickens and guinea fowl wandering around. Also there were several hutches of rabbits and guinea-pigs, some were available to buy.
The Manor House was very interesting. Even though it was a quiet day for them, there were staff dressed in Victorian costume offering craft demonstrations, and in the kitchen the cook was making bread according to the recipes of that time, the smell was wonderful.
We were given lots of information by a guide who explained some of the features of the house are dated back to the 1200s, he was very knowledgeable about the Victorian era too.
Actually the staff were so friendly it had the feeling of a family home more than a museum. Several of the restored rooms were open to view, with an audio commentary provided.
My sons favourite part was a drawer full of things they'd found under the floorboards, mostly rat skeletons!
A couple of the rooms had dressed mannequins, so we got a bit of a fright when we walked into the parlour, not paying any attention to the mannequin until it spoke to us! It was a member of staff sitting in a chair making lace!
There was also an activities room in the house where children can try on Victorian clothes and play with replica toys and games.
At the back of a house is a beautiful flower garden with benches. There were butterflies everywhere on the day we visited. The side gate on the left leads to the goat pen. The goats were the highlight for my son, they were very friendly and gentle with him as he fed them, even while they were head butting each other out of the way!
On the other side of the garden is a walled garden with picnic benches and fields of cows and sheep bordering. The farm cat seemed permanently stationed by the benches waiting for picnickers, smart idea! He was lovely too, demanded lots of attention and stroking from us before we could carry on past.
It did rain while we were there, but you are never far from a building to shelter in, so that was no problem at all.
We didn't have time to see everything, there is also a granary, an orchard, a shrunken medieval village in the cow field(I don't think you can see much of that anyway), some fish ponds, and some nice country walks, a moat, etc. I think we saw a lot of it though.
Regular activities at the museum include demonstrations of:
* handmilking
* feeding the pigs
* buttermaking (on most Sunday afternoons)
* work of the Victorian maids in the Manor House
The programme of special events includes:
* theme weekends
* daily activities for children and families in the school holidays
* summer evening performances
Opening Hours for 2009
Open from 7th April - 31st August
Tuesday - Friday 10:30 - 17:00
Saturday & Sunday 11:00 - 17:00
Bank Holiday Mondays 11:00 - 17:00
Mondays Closed
Last admissions, one hour before closing. Closed Mondays and Good Friday.
The telephone number for enquiries is 01993 772602
My son absolutely love the farm museum, it is still all he is talking about (any parents of autistic children, you will know how obsessed they can get with new interests!) and I really enjoyed it too. We will go back again this summer, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good family day out.
Summary: A replica Victorian working farm. Fun and educationsl.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom kicked off California's summer of love by officiating the state's first same-sex marriage at one minute after five this evening. Lesbian and gay couples also married in two other Bay Area counties on Monday and the rest will have to wait until Tuesday morning.
There was only one same-sex wedding in San Francisco on Monday, and according to Mayor Newsom, it was a fitting way to kick start same-sex marriages in California.
Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin emerged from the mayor's office as spouses for life. For a couple who spent their lives fighting for gay rights, it was an emotional day, one that brought tears throughout City Hall.
"When we first got together, we weren't really thinking about getting married, we were just thinking about getting together, but I think it's a wonderful day," said Phyllis.
Phyllis and Del were the first couple to get married four years ago, when San Francisco held same-sex weddings in defiance of state law, but this time it was legal and a defining moment in history.
"Today we can confidently say it's the first day in the state of California that we are providing marriage equally and fairly to everyone, denying no one their right and opportunity to live their lives out loud," said Mayor Gavin Newsom.
However, not everyone at City Hall was celebrating. Outside, members of an extreme religious group from Kansas waved large signs in protest. Representatives of more mainstream religious groups also came in opposition, such as a couple with Catholics for the Common Good.
"Being that we're here to uphold marriage as we know it from the Bible, we're not here to ruin somebody's day. We're here to uphold God's law," said Julie Malaspina from Catholics For The Common Good.
Opponents of same-sex marriage were quickly outnumbered. Hundreds of same-sex supporters began to converge at City Hall, turning what began as a demonstration, into a celebration.
"I wasn't here in 2004 so I definitely wanted to be a part of it this year and it's a pretty cool moment, to hear the crowds cheering and not really know what's going on, but still feel the energy of it and all. It's pretty cool," said Jackie Duda, a San Francisco resident.
And the energy is likely to carry on at San Francisco City Hall at least for the next two weeks. The City Clerk's Office set up this satellite office to process the high number of same-sex couples who booked appointments. After filling out these new gender neutral applications, which simply says "Party A" and "Party B," couples will say, "I do," throughout the galleries, just as they did four years ago.
"You're going to see many ceremonies continually going though the building in different levels," said Kenton Owyang, from the San Francisco City Clerk's Office.
The City Clerks Office will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at least for the next two weeks. The Clerks Office says they can handle up to 500 marriages a day.

Syrian government forces have bombarded several rebel strongholds in the suburbs of Damascus to quell the fighters battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad from reaching the capital.
Activists on Saturday said troops levelled their bombardment campaign on the districts of Hajar al-Aswad and Qaboun in southern Damascus while they continued to shell the suburbs of Daraya, Beit Hahm, Zibdeen, Maadamiya and Jisteen.
Meanwhile, Syria's official news agency said a journalist for a pro-government television station has died of wounds sustained in shooting attack in the suburbs of the capital.
The state-run SANA agency said Suheil al-Ali of Addounia TV died on Friday, four days after a "terrorist'' fired on him as he was going to work. Syrian state media refers to opposition fighters as terrorists.
Fighting has raged for weeks in neighbourhoods and towns around Damascus as rebels fighting to topple Assad press on with an offensive to take the city.
While the regime has largely kept his grip on the capital, Damascus has been targeted by a number of large bombings, many of which appear to target government buildings. Some have been claimed by the opposition group Jabhat al-Nusra, which the US has designated a terrorist organisation.
On Saturday, a shell reportedly landed in the neighbourhood in Bab Touma in central Damascus, while an IED explosion was reported in Rukn al-Deen district. No casualties were reported in the blasts.
More clashes
The latest violence in the capital came a day after at least 11 people were killed and 40 wounded when a car bomb exploded at a crowded petrol station in Masakin Barzeh district in the north of the city.
Elsewhere, clashes were reported on Saturday in the eastern Deir Ezzor city around the technical services building that was recently seized by rebels after they killed and injured government soldiers and took several others hostages.
More fighting was reported near the air force intelligence building in the northern city of Aleppo, while shelling was reported in the town of Hritan in the city's suburbs.
Meanwhile, in the central province of Homs, activists said government forces shelled the rebel-held town of Rastan and the farms surrounding the neighbourhood of Bab Amr in Homs city.
Activists reported the deaths of at least 122 people on Friday in violence across the country.
The UN, this week, said more than 60,000 people have been killed since Syria's crisis began in March 2011, a figure much higher than previous opposition estimates.

Multiple Sclerosis to come under focus
Dubai, January 19, 2011
The effects of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) the debilitating neurological disorder that attacks the central nervous system will be in focus during a dedicated one-day conference at the upcoming Arab Health Congress 2011.
Arab Health, one of the world's largest healthcare tradeshows and congresses located in the Middle East, will be held from January 24 to 27 at Dubai International Conventional and Exhibition Centre.
MS strikes twice as many women as it does men, generally affecting adults between 20 and 40 years of age, however it is known to affect young children as well, a statement said.
Although no accurate data is available, according to US-based WrongDiagnosis.com, part of the HealthGrades network, MS is estimated to affect in excess of 400,000 people in the US and extrapolating that prevalence across the Middle East suggests the region has over 350,000 sufferers, it added.
"MS is a complex disease with a variety of symptoms which can range from impaired vision, loss of balance, to lack of mobility and bladder control," said Dr Shareefa Abdool, president of the UAE-based Emirates Neurological Society (EMINS), who will chair the conference of the new Multiple Sclerosis Update on January 27.
"It is imperative that diagnosis is made as early as possible so that a course of treatment can be prescribed which can at least manage the symptoms and offer patients a near normal life," she added.
"MS was once predominant amongst Caucasian women living in colder climates, typically in North America and Europe. However it has become more common in the Middle East and with so little known about the disease and no known cure, that is a concern," said Simon Page, group director of life sciences at IIR Middle East, the organiser of Arab Health 2011.
Recognising the potential scale of the problem, the Middle East Multiple Sclerosis Patients Platform, an affiliation of independent MS organisations, groups of healthcare professionals and commercial corporations was launched last year in Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi aiming to at least enhance the quality of life for MS sufferers. – TradeArabia News Service
