Incredibly simple to use. When I hesitated about which module position to put it in, a quick look back at the website gave me the answer (debug).
You can choose the colour value of the tiles to get the perfect match for your site, and the height at which the tiles are positioned.
I don't it gets much easier than this. :-)

Minnesota Falters At Iowa
Feb. 8, 2013
Final Stats (html) l Final Stats (PDF)
The Gophers dropped a 422.750 - 419.450 decision at Iowa this afternoon.
Minnesota scored higher than Iowa on the floor exercise and the vault and had the highest individual score on the floor exercise (Matt Frey at 15.100), vault (Adam Kern at 15.300) and high bar (Steve Jaciuk at 14.150).
A couple of Gophers are battling the flu and Minnesota just could not find any momentum against the Hawkeyes. The Maroon and Gold notched only a 78.4 hit percentage and coach Mike Burns said he counted four missed sets. Minnesota did stick 10 dismounts.
Josh Wokurka was the lone Gopher to compete in the all-around competition, placing second with a 82.900 total. Iowa's Javier Balboa was first at 85.950.
Minnesota competed in the meet without Ellis Mannon, Zack Chase and Daniel DiBenedetto, who are all in Las Vegas at the Winter Cup.
Minnesota returns to action on Feb. 16 at Oklahoma.

AFRICA/SUDAN - Humanitarian emergency in Kalma refugee camp in South Darfur
Nyala (Agenzia Fides) - Torrential rains continue to inflict serious damage in the southern part of Darfur. A hundred homes in the Kalma refugee camp, near the city of Nyala, have been completely destroyed. As reported by the local Radio Dabanga, residents continue to live in the open without any possibility of shelter from the rains. All kinds of help, from tents to tarpaulins are urgently needed. The situation is particularly dramatic for children. Recently, 28 families have reached El Salam camp, near Nyala, after having escaped the clashes between the Gimr and Beni Halba tribes. We are talking about a hundred people who are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance to try to survive the tragic conditions in which they find themselves. According to local sources, security at the camp continues to deteriorate due to repeated attacks, banditry and robbery against displaced persons by pro-government militiamen. The two tribes - Gimr and Beni Halba have been in conflict since February. Disputes started because of land properties in South Darfur. Subsequently, both sides have accused each other of violating previous peace accords, signed and broken for a short period. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 22/07/2013)

niu kee
I was delighted to discover niu kee (thanks to this board) - however, reviews I've read suggested it would be an endorphin pumping experience. My order was definitely spice-underwhelming. But maybe I didn't order right - please suggest some of the fire dishes worth checking out.
re: BLM
I just ate there this evening, and I can safely say, based on what I ate, they have not toned anything down. The Kung Pao chicken is filled with chili peppers and szechuan peppercorns - I'm guessing you didn't order that...(the peppercorns are almost overwhelming, and I like spicy dishes)...
re: celfie
I found the few dishes I've tried with Szechuan peppercorns to be extremely intense but not blazing -- they had a big, bold spiciness that didn't rely on hot peppers to do the heavy lifting.
The peppercorns themselves reminded me somewhat of star anise, not at all for the flavour but for creating tingling sensations in my mouth and for a tendency to permeate other ingredients with their powerful aroma. For example, the peanuts from the kung pao were almost overwhelming by the end of the meal.
As for the chili peppers, I agree that they're not exceptionally hot. However, I found they still had a decent kick -- enough to produce a good sweat, but not enough to make me cry.
Perhaps you could ask them to make things extra-spicy for you?
re: celfie
Could be any number of reasons for the difference -- someone else cooking, complaints from others about overly intense dishes, or your palate being totally inured from years of hot-sauce abuse. :)
Again, I suggest telling them you like a lot of heat. You can also ask for hot sauce if there isn't any on your table already. (I don't remember whether it was there to begin with or we asked for it, but I know we had a little jar of chilies in oil on our table last time.)
went back last night
told them that iwas ready for it "full on"
and this was the best meal ever
After seeing all these posts about Niu Kee, I decided to try it out for myself last Wednesday evening.
First of all I had a hard time finding it as I didn't know it was on the north side of Clark Street (Corner Clark & Rene Levesque)
When I finally found it and walked into the room I knew I was in for a treat.
It is quaint little place and with the warm welcome you feel like you are at a private party.
I ordered the hot & sour soup $3 it was the best I have ever had and is large enough for two people.
Second came the pork & chive dumplings 20 for $7
Finally the "piece de resistance" Kung Pao chicken, $7.50 with at least many tablespoons of pepper corns, besides the spices you don't see only taste.
They are definitely heavy on the spices but this is the charm and uniqueness of the place and it works so well that you find yourself planning your next trip before you leave and fantasizing about all the other dishes you are going to try.
I told the owner that they should have a fireman to hose down the patrons after a meal.
The portions are so large that almost everyone leaves with a Styrofoam containers
The place is run by a family that could not be more kind.
The women in charge, use to be a famous opera singer in Beijing and the pictures on the wall are of her in her opera days.
If you are lucky you will catch her singing some arias as she goes about her business.
Niu Kee will be at the top of my list.
re: InterFoodie
Thanks for the heads up on the location... I finally figured out where this joint is i think. I tried to canadian google it and i came across a review in The Mirror-- to my dismay Mark S. said it closed down. Then i checked the date of the review and it was archived in Sept. 9-14 2005 and not 2006. How strange! (since chowhounds have been discussing eating there most recently). Phew! With all the great reviews I better jump on over to Chinatown~ after all it has been a while!
Yes there were at another location before(their original location). They closed down, as the family had to return to China. Several months later, they returned to their current location. The first time(at their current location), I had a hard time finding the restaurant without having the exact address(I knew the street where they were located by didn't have the number). I consider them just outside of Chinatown.
re: serpah
Not at all! I found out I'm a 'heat wimp' when I went there! It's extreme heat, only hot food lovers will enjoy it. Wow! The tofu dish was good (and hot!).
re: serpah
I didn't see any General Tao or Orange beef on the menu. I don't think they have any of that American Chinese stuff.
I was there last week. We asked them to not hold-out on the peppers. The food was so hot, it made us cry. Sheer bliss!
re: celfie
Thanks for the reassurances! I love the real deal Chinese food, and I find that even 'real' restos these days carry the General Tao, Orange Beef American-Chinese stuff. I consider those dishes to be bad. So refreshing to find others who do too. :)
I'll definitely check it out soon and let all of you know how I like it. :)
I went to niu kee last night and it was incredible!! The hot & sour soup was amazing, so was the spicy fried chicken. We went all out and ordered way too much food so we'd have leftovers for lunch today. We ordered the tofu/fish stew with the flower peppers, a mushroom/brocoli dish, a snowpea stem dish, rice, a beef sizzling platter and buckwheat noodles with shredded chicken, all on top of the soup and fried chicken! There were only four of us there, and we all had a little lunchbox to take home at the end.
The 'flower peppers' they use are amazing. A lemony, spicy, cooling, heating spice. Cooling by making your mouth go all numb. I was really impressed and happy with the place.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely going back again.

Via NESN:
Angelo Campos' professional soccer career has only just begun, but it's already produced a moment that he'll savor forever.
The Peruvian goalkeeper pulled off a stunning double save Thursday, which ranks near the top of the all-time great goalkeeping heroics list.
Campos' feat came during the latter stages of Peru's game against Uruguay at the South American U-20 Championships.
Ironically, it was his own blunder that put him in position to act heroically. He had initially ventured off his goal line to intervene in an attack, but that didn't work out so well. He failed to clear the ball, leaving Uruguay's Gonzalo Bueno with the goal at his mercy.
Bueno rolled it toward the open net expecting to score with ease, but Campos had already reacted. The Peruvian raced back to his goal, dove and swatted the ball off the line. The first save was amazing. The second made headlines around the world.
Campos' first save sent him tumbling into the goal and left the ball standing only a yard or two off the goal line. Bueno arrived first, looking to tap it in, but Campos recovered in time to clip it away with his leg and deny Uruguay the go-ahead goal.
Campos' saves were pivotal in a match that ended in a 3-3 draw.
We don't know what kind of player Campos will go on to become. Maybe he'll become Peru's No. 1 at the senior level. Perhaps he'll win league titles in his homeland and seal a lucrative transfer to a foreign club.
However it turns out, he can take comfort in the fact that he got his 15 minutes of fame. Or he can spend the rest of his playing days trying to outdo his early feats.

Tennessee House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner, of NashvillePhoto by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
State House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner has reversed course on previously announced plans to quit his leadership post and will remain at the helm through the 2014 election.
"No, I'm not going to quit," Turner said last week. "I'm going to serve out my term."
In early November the Nashville lawmaker said he planned to step down, citing differences with Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron over political philosophy and campaign strategy.
Fellow Democrats, including Rep. JoAnne Favors, D-Chattanooga, urged Turner to reconsider.
"I've talked to my members and unanimously they've said, 'What were you thinking?'" Turner said last week. "You know me. I tend to shoot from the hip sometimes."
Turner said he was "extremely frustrated at the time with what was going on. But since then I've talked to Roy and Roy's doing the best that he can. And he's going to do what he does, and I'm going to do what I do and we're moving on."
Noting he was elected to "lead us through this next election cycle," Turner said he will do just that. "It would be unfair to the candidates we're trying to recruit and to my caucus members. ... It'd be selfish on my part and unfair, so I'm going to serve out my term. I may not run again next time, but I'm going to serve my term."
Turner and Herron clashed over the party's role in upcoming elections as Democrats, weakened by Republican-controlled redistricting in 2012 and the unpopularity of Democratic President Barack Obama in Tennessee, seek to eke out meager gains in 2014.
Once-mighty Democrats have just 28 representatives in the 99-member House and seven senators in that 33-member chamber.

Week #19: August 5-11, 2013 In Review
I was somewhat surprised to reflect on the the week and find that the Blue Jays had managed to win as many games as they'd lost. Perhaps the pessimist in me has finally emerged, four months into a season rife with frustration and disappointment. Maybe it's because I spent the week outside of the city, still watching the games, but not as engrossed in the ephemera. Maybe it was the lasting sting of a blowout loss to Oakland. Regardless, the week was a fair representation of the season, complete with poor pitching and another blown elbow, adding injury to insult, as it were.
By The Numbers
- Record: 3 wins / 3 losses
- Runs: 32 RF / 36 RA
- Batting: .250 / .354 / .409 (.763 OPS); 7 HR, 33 BB, 38 SO, .274 BABIP
- Basestealing: 5 SB / 3 CS
- Pitching: 5.94 ERA, .316 BABIP, 5.9 K/9; 1.7 HR/9

Roster Moves
J.A. Happ was activated from the 60-day disabled list, having completed his rehabilitation assignment at AAA Buffalo, with Steve Delabar taking his place on the DL with right shoulder inflammation. In a corresponding move, Michael Schwimmer was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster.
Drew Hutchison was also activated from the 60-day DL, as his rehabilitation period had been maxed out. He was then optioned to AAA Buffalo, where he will continue his road back to the big leagues. I would expect to see Hutchison join the club when rosters are expanded in September.
Speaking of pitchers and Tommy John surgeries…lefthanded reliever Juan Perez, who had been a pleasant surprise in the Jays' pen, tore his ulnar collateral ligament this week and will be lost for the year, and perhaps longer, should he need the infamous surgery.
Taking Perez's place on the major league roster is Mickey Storey, who was recalled from Buffalo.
Random News & Thoughts
Every year at this time, most major league clubs place almost all of their players on revocable waivers. It's a means to gauge interest in a player, with the security of being able to pull the player back should he be claimed. This includes high profile players, such as Josh Johnson, who have big contracts and for that reason, often clear without a claim. Given the year he's having, coupled with the new rule in the CBA which doesn't award compensatory picks to clubs for 'rental' players, it's not surprising Johnson was passed on by every club.
Ken Rosenthal reported that Mark DeRosa was claimed by an unknown team, but the Blue Jays pulled him back and have decided to hold onto the well-liked veteran.
GM Alex Anthopoulos addressed the media, speaking specifically to the team's poor season and how he intends to address some of its glaring deficiencies, specifically the pitching, defence, and lack of a bona fide second baseman. Gregor Chisholm took the time to transcribe the entire discussion.

A word from Honu Seafood and Pizza - Lahaina
Chef Mark and Judy Ellman have opened a seafood shack, right next door to Mala Ocean Tavern. Honu Seafood and Pizza also sits right on the rocks of the Pacific Ocean, with 50 beers, an organic and eclectic wine list, and an extensive scotch and rum selection. Mark and Judy have created an environment that soothes the savage beasts craving of oysters on the half shell, steamed clams and mussels, Crab Louis salad, a selection of Hawaiian seafood, as well as fish from the West and East Coasts of the US. Honu also features a 900 degree brick-oven turning out artisinal pizzas. Come to Honu, drink a local Micro-brewed beer ,eat some freshly shucked oysters on the half shell, and let your eyes and soul relax into the Pacific. Honu, like Mala, is run by Mark and Judy Ellman and their two daughters Ariana and Michelle. Remember, we always try and practice Aloha. Please come and practice with us.Continued

- Great views, good foodKHinSeattleVIPDined on 11/23/2014We had a wonderful family dinner at Honu. We lucked out and got a wonderful table right on the water. There were plenty of turtles right in front of us! Additionally, the service was amazing - our waitress made some great recommendations and was always checking in. Additionally, she did not rush us through our dinner at all, even though we had a great table. The food was also delicious! Our two favorite appetizers were the burrata and ahi poke! We also had them lamb riblets but they were a bit smaller. Other items from the evening we enjoyed were joes special, and the butternut cream coconut milk soup. I would definitely put this place on your list of places to eat in Maui. Oh and the valet parking was complimentary!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food by the ocean808JimVIPDined on 11/22/2014Go for lunch or go early to enjoy the ocean view. Good food. Great view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All Around Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014We had dinner here on our first night in Maui. Couldn't have been better! Sat at one of the ocean-side tables with a sea turtle sunning itself about 10 feet away on the rocks. The Ahi Bruschetta is an entree-worthy starter. So good we started with a half order and immediately ordered another to split along with the steak for dinner. Watched the sun set over dessert - cheesecake. Everything was so good, we picked up their cook book before leaving. The staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. Gerry knows her food and gave us great recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulKathleenDined on 11/21/2014We are very grateful that a local friend recommended Honu. We had driven past and not thought about stopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and had excellent service. Would definitely recommend to friends and would return should we be fortunate enough to return to Maui.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/19/2014Open air, Oceanside dining. Gluten free pizza amazing! Service friendly and professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun lively and good foodNVdinerVIPDined on 11/16/2014I had the fresh fish special and it was delicious. My husband had the crab mac and cheese and found it good but not as good as some. Ight was definately a fun spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bill BBillBVIPDined on 11/16/2014If you're fortunate enough to be seated overlooking the ocean, you will be rewarded with one of the best dining spots you will encounter anywhere. And the food is good as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive, but great food.Cantata51Dined on 11/14/2014From the name of the place and the appearance from the street, you would expect a neighborhood dive. Once inside, though, it's obviously a very popular spot with tourists and locals; tables right over the waterfront and giant sea turtles swimming up to your table. The food is original and truly delicious. Unbelievably rich seafood chowder, amazing salads, fresh fish, and unusual pizzas. Decent wine list. Friendly efficient service. Come prepared with an appetite, because portions are generous and filling; also with plenty of cash or credit left on your card.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kclb1111Dined on 11/12/2014Great food, atmosphere and service. A go to everyte we are here in MauiSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but noisyNoisyDined on 11/11/2014While the food is excellent, the noise level made dinner conversation with friends impossible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 11/10/2014Excellent dining experience right on the water. Casual atmosphere with farm to fork dining without all the fuss of fine dining. Our favorites were the Ahi bruschetta, Kale salad and the fresh fish. Can't wait to go back and try the pizza, it looked delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!MauijsDined on 11/10/2014Food was fantastic! Had the fish chowder & shrimp sandwich ! Don't think you could sit closer to the water unless you were in it! Our service was great! Not a fancy place comfortable atmosphere.Special Features:
- Just OKLocalWallyDined on 11/7/2014Honu came highly recommended by not only friends but a server at Star Noodle, one of the most popular new restaurants (which we loved). The Shrimp Louie salad was great and a good choice to share for lunch. Fish and Chips were very pricey at $33 but the fish was Ono and well cooked. The fries, however, were pretty standard and probably frozen. I expected more for that price point. The pizza was terrible, soggy and wet and limp. Costco pizza is about 100 times better and I am no fan of Costco pizza. At $19 it was not only not worth it but a terrible way to spend our last meal on Maui. I think lunch is better fit for this place - avoid the pizza.Special Features:
- Outstanding view, average foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/7/2014We dined at Honu specifically for the view and to watch the sunset. We requested an oceanfront table and we very pleased to find ourselves so close to the waves we could almost touch them, and the view was wonderful. We weren't overly hungry and split a Margherita Pizza (pizza is supposed to be a house specialty) and a Crab Louis Salad. The pizza was disappointing and the salad while fresh did not wow us. Overall a lovely evening but we would not go back.Special Features:
- Poor step childAhChooDined on 11/4/2014We arrived 15 min early for our reservation. I requested a beach front table. The hostess said our table would be ready in 15 min. Fast forward. Picture this. A person sitting at a table but you can't see the person across from him. Reason why? The table guest was sitting in another room (storage room). Apparently our table was situated between the main dining room and storage room divided by a room divider. So I decide to improve the by moving the table and chair into the main dining rm. There was a 20 min delay between courses. Server never explained the delay. My grilled ahi was barely seared and arrived lukewarm. Pretty sad for a highly promoted restaurant. Better off at Zippy's. Restaurant menu prices aren't same as Honu website.
- Too badOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/4/2014We have enjoyed many fine dinners at Honu and will go again, but my view at dinner was of an overflowing set of dumpsters. I'm not sure this was the worst seat in the place, but maybe. I didn't complain thinking they might figure it out, they didn't, too bad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too Noisy,Jennybell8Dined on 11/2/2014We thought the menu was exceptional. The drinks were excellent. The service was super. The food was good, not great. The ambiance just OK, way too bright, way too noisey, and not very private. Tables were too close together. If you are looking for a romantic dinner, choose another restaurant. Most important I think it is overpriced even for Maui.Special Features:

- Amazing MealBsatovskDined on 10/28/2014Took my family here while they were visiting. It is my favorite place to send guest. Services is always great and friendly. Truly practice AlohaSpecial Features:
- Honu: The place you've looked forJBLMDMBADined on 10/27/2014Located on the water's edge at the North end of Lahaina and easy to find. Now with free valet parking. The cocktails are innovatively classic and come quickly with a smile. Appetizers are so good you could (as my wife does) make a meal out of a couple of them alone. The mussels are always perfect and let the waiter select the daily oysters if you want to be indulgent and pleased with your choice. IF you have ANY adventure left in your palate - please try the Spanish grilled octopus. It will change how you look at that creatures value. And I confess I always get the fresh fish Dore and always plan to get it again. Perfect. NEVER skip the lilikoi raspberry tart nor their coffee options. I hear their pizza is great for the kids or adults.Special Features:
- Excellent selection of seafoodsmithmp76VIPDined on 10/27/2014Honu offers and excellent selection of seafood accompanied by a broad pallette of liquors for creating well prepared cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favourites on MauiTMG48Dined on 10/27/2014Great food, great service, virtually beside the ocean in Lahaina - I return there every trip I make to Maui.Special Features:
- One of the best on Maui!CricketDined on 10/26/2014Great food and service. The view is great and makes for a wonderful sunset dinner. I had the island fish of the day with kale salad. The fish preparation was a nice compliment to the salad and grilled to perfection (tender and moist). The restaurant can be a little noisy depending on the crowds. There was a large group behind us. When they left the noise dropped to an acceptable level. Honu and Mala Ocean Tavern next door are both owned by the same couple. I usually dine at both places at least once when I am in Maui!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- bnut squash soup best on the planetchocometsDined on 10/23/2014Been to honu twice, will definitely return on future maui trips. Butternut squash soup is the best on the planet! Family loved their appetizers and unique fish entrees. I prefer more casual fare so the salads, pizza and burger options make honu perfect for our family. Well done Honu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great JobSurferdude96761Dined on 10/21/2014Honu is a favorite of ours, great food, good service and just a terrific dining experience. We also love to go and eat at the Bar in a pinch. Tough for groups larger than 6, but worth the hassle. Mala is also great, and we are excited to see what the new restaurant will be next door (same chef/owner)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnonymousDined on 10/18/2014Fantastic food!! Fantastic service!!! Fantastic view!! Fantastic setting!!! Right in front of turtle refuge so if you are lucky like we were you will see the turtles trying to come ashore to rest. (Honu is Hawiian for turtle)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/17/2014We had the fresh fish and crab mac and cheese. Both excellent. Most would not think mac and cheese could be so good, but it truly is, Best I have ever had. Nice oceanfront restaurant, fun and casual. Great place and prices are reasonable (at least by Maui standards).Special Features:

- Hidden GemPattiinsurpriseVIPDined on 10/14/2014The outside is very plain but as you walk in the entire restaurant is energetic and full of happy people. We were treated like regulars even though it was our first visit. We were immediately seated at an ocean front table. The bartender made me a yummy Miscow Mule to set the evening. Must tries are the Spanish Octopus dish and the mushroom pizza. No rushing and great service from Susie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Perfect time to grab a drink at the bar, relax and talk to lots of guests. At 7pm we were seated at a ocean front table and promptly greeted. Knowledgeable staff, great food and service. Our out of town guest loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014Honu was awesome but the opentable reservation system is lacking. We wanted a specific time and it was not offered on opentable so we called the restaurant directly and got the time we wanted. I won't likely use opentable againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

While eating we sat at waters edge listening to the waves and stones as they ebbed and flowed. We also got to see a sea turtle restring on the rocky shore. Very nice atmosphere with great service. Like all restaurants in the area a bit pricey, a salad pizza and two beers with tip set us back $60.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

DogTV is available on DirecTV channel 354, Cox Communications channel 2635, and Time Warner Cable channel 148 during its pilot roll out phase in California.
It's not inexpensive. A month of DogTV is $9.99, a three-month package is $24.99, 12 months is $49.89. You can sign up online at dogtv.com/ or through your cable or satellite carrier.
Television has literally gone to the dogs.
On Aug. 1, a 24-hour TV network launched with programming created just for dogs and those who love them.
Based on the premise that TV is an ideal babysitter for dogs home alone, DogTV's programming is touted to "stimulate, entertain, relax and habituate dogs with shows that expose them to various movements, sounds, objects, experiences and behavior patterns, all from a dog's point of view," according to their website, dogtv.com
As nutty as I am about my little rescue dog Stasha, even I thought television tailored for dogs was a bit crazy.
But the concept did intrigue me.
Reading their website it seemed to make sense. Programming alternates between relaxing and stimulating content.
The site says dogs that are left alone tend to become anxious. The calming sounds and music in the relaxing segments on DogTV were created to keep them peaceful.
Stimulating segments show dogs running and playing.
On DogTV.com I watched the short videos featuring experts in canine behavior touting the merits of the network.
In his video, pet psychologist Warren Eckstein explained the problems of leaving dogs home alone and anxiety.
Renowned dog trainer Victoria Stilwell talked about how DogTV helps dogs cope with their environment.
Nicholas Dodman, a professor and head of the Animal Behavior Department at Tufts University, says he supports scientifically designed TV for dogs.
Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society said," it's about creating a stimulating environment for them."
Thinking these experts might be on to something, I signed up for a DirecTV special – $4.99 for my first month of DogTV.
The DogTV website suggested I begin by watching it with my dog to alleviate any anxiety she might have watching fellow pooches on screen playing, going to the vet, and napping.
Though I found the programming fascinating, Stasha didn't show much interest.
We've continued to watch Dog TV at least once a day since it premiered.
Stasha's not seeing the wow factor here. She usually dozes within a few minutes or gets up and goes in another room.
