The Boston Red Sox have assigned third baseman Garin Cecchini (check-E-nee) to Portland from High-A Salem Red Sox. Cecchini is set to make his Double-A debut in Friday night's game against the Trenton Thunder (Yankees affiliate) at Waterfront Park in Trenton, N.J. The addition of Cecchini puts Portland's roster at the maximum of 25.
The 22-year-old was a fourth round pick by the Red Sox in 2010 out of Barbe High School (father Glenn was his coach) in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He didn't play his senior year of high school due to a ACL tear in his right knee, and made his professional debut with the Lowell Spinners in 2011.
In 2012, Cecchini was named the Red Sox's 2012 Base Runner of the Year after leading the organization in stolen bases with 51. He hit .305 (139-for-455) with 4 homers and 62 RBI for Low-A Greenville Drive, ranking third in South Atlantic League in doubles (38) and fourth in runs scored (84).
Cecchini's professional debut in 2011 with the Lowell Spinners was limited to 32 games due to injury. He batted .298 (34-for-114) with 3 homers and 23 RBI and was leading the New York-Penn League in doubles (12) and ranked fourth in stolen bases (12) and fifth in RBIs.
His brother Gavin was the 12th overall pick by the New York Mets in the 2012 June Draft.

Before tonight's game, I had a chance to interview former Sea Dog Tommy Hottovy, who now pitches for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Hottovy spent parts of six years with the Portland Sea Dogs from 2006-11, and he became a good friend. I think it was his passion for fantasy football that kicked off the friendship. The former Wichita State product was a conventional pitcher until the spring of 2011, when he decided it was time for a chance. The previous season, he had been working on it with Sea Dogs Pitching Coach Bob Kipper. When I arrived to Spring Training in 2011, I couldn't believe to see Tommy throwing from down under. His transformation was amazing, and it seemed like he'd be doing it for years. They call it submarine style, down under, side arm and tons of other slang words. But it just worked for Hottovy and it landed him in the big leagues with the Red Sox in 2011. And the biggest thrill for Hottovy, pitching for the Kansas City Royals, the team he grew up rooting for.

- Guess it's good I had trouble sleeping last night…I reached for my phone around 4:30 and checked Twitter, it's something I do when I can't sleep. I saw tweets from Buster Olney about the A's and Angels game. I pulled it up on my phone and saw Moss's homer…Ironically, former Sea Dog Jed Lowrie was at first.
- The Sea Dogs went on to beat the Akron Aeros in five games to capture their first ever E.L. Championship, but that moment in the N.D.C.S. was still my favorite moment. We all knew Moss was a special player. He had big hits in big spots, a formula that some players just shine in. I'm so happy he found a spot in Oakland with former Sea Dogs: Josh Reddick and Jed Lowrie.
- From my Game Notes on September 12, 2006 (Game was September 9th)
- Game 4 Rundown of the NDCS: Brandon Moss launched a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Sea Dogs to a 4-3 victory over the Trenton Thunder to win the Northern Division Championship Series, 3 games to 1. Moss threw out J.T. Stotts at the plate, the potential go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning, keeping the game tied at three. Portland trailed 3-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning but Luis Jimenez tied the game with a two-out RBI double down the left-field line, scoring pinch-runner Matt Van Der Bosch. Trenton took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, scoring three runs off Frank Brooks following a 90-minute rain delay. Brooks allowed just those runs in six innings on six hits, three walks and five strikeouts. Barry Hertzler worked two scoreless innings to earn his first post-season win. Scott Patterson worked an inning and 2/3 to suffer the loss. Brian Myrow had two hits, including his second post-season home run and an RBI double.
PART TWO OF THE TRIP: After taking two of three from the Trenton Thunder, the Sea Dogs resume their roadtrip on Tuesday night at First Energy Stadium against the Reading Fight Phils…Portland dropped two of three to the Phils on April 8-10 at Hadlock Field…At 13-9, the 'Dogs have the best record in the Eastern League, and hold a one-game lead over Reading for the top spot in the Eastern Division…The Sea Dogs have won all three road series this season, last year, they didn't win their third road series until the middle of May.

CAME TO AN END: The Sea Dogs lead the league with 10 triples, but did not have one on Sunday, snapping a six-game streak with at least one triple…Xander Bogaerts leads the team with three triples, which is tied for the top spot in the E.L.
IT HAD BEEN A WHILE: Portland's series win in Trenton was their first since April 22-25, 2010, when they took three of four…The Sea Dogs are looking to go four games over .500 for the first time since June 20, 2010, when they were 36-32…Portland has won seven of their last nine.

C Must have $5 Crossbow Season Permit as well as hunting license.
M Must have $5 Muzzleloading Gun Season Permit as well as hunting license.

Muzzleloaders using smokeless powder, those that can be loaded from the breech or those with self-contained cartridge ammunition capabilities are not legal during Muzzleloading Gun Season.
D Free-running dogs may be used for hunting but must wear collars listing the owner's name and address. When using dogs to hunt deer on private property, hunters must first register with the FWC (at no cost) the tract of land they have permission to hunt, and all deer dogs must have their FWC-issued registration number on their collars. Copies of the registration also must be in hunter's possession when using dogs to pursue deer.
T Must have Turkey Permit ($10 for residents, $125 for nonresidents) as well as hunting license to hunt turkeys.
F Furbearers may be taken with live traps and snares, but must have $26 Trapping License. Live traps and snares must be checked at least every 24 hours. Using or possessing steel or leg-hold traps where wildlife might be found is prohibited, unless authorized by permit from the FWC executive director. Trapping License also is required to sell hide and meat of furbearing mammals year-round, but otter and bobcat pelts may be sold to licensed fur dealers or agents from Dec. 1 through March 31 only. It is illegal to transport wild-trapped live raccoons within, into or from the state, except by FWC permit or authorization.
1 Antlered deer: Deer having at least one antler 5 or more inches in length visible above the hairline; Antlerless deer: Deer (except spotted fawns) that do not have antlers or have antlers less than 5 inches in length. It is illegal to take spotted fawns.
2 No antlerless deer may be taken on that portion of the eastern Everglades south of Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) and east of Everglades National Park; or in Collier County south of I-75 during Antlerless Deer Season.
3 In Holmes County, there is no fall harvest of turkeys allowed.
4 When hunting spring turkeys on wildlife management areas, only shotguns and muzzleloading shotguns using shot no larger in diameter than No. 2 may be used. Bows and crossbows, where allowed, also may be used. All rifles, pistols, buckshot and slugs are prohibited. This rule does not apply to hunting spring turkeys on private lands.
5 Only youths under 16 years old are allowed to harvest a turkey while supervised by an adult, 18 years or older. However, adult supervisors with a hunting license and turkey permit are allowed to "call in" the turkey and otherwise participate in the hunt, but they are not permitted to harvest one. Any turkey harvested during the Youth Spring Turkey Hunt counts toward the youth hunter's spring season limit of 2.

Current status – partly #winning!
I apologize for not providing updates in the last 2 months but as you can probably imagine i had a lot of stress in that time.
First: Hello dear LKA, i know you are reading here as well
I get my guns back next week, looks like Austrian police realized that legal guns are, well, legal to own, as far as i know now there are no strings attached to this and my "Gun ban" is lifted as well.
Legal recourse for the (in my view) illegal confiscation of my knives/machete (which are not weapons) and gas/signal guns + ammo is still an option but i'm unlikely to pursue this due to lack of funding (Donations are only for Tor related, i strictly enforce independent accounting for each) – i'm probably contacting the IWÖ ( http://iwoe.at/inc/nav.php – GER only) where i'm also member to get an overview of the options. If you have any help to offer feel free to contact me.
My Hardware is still confiscated and my Austrian lawyer pushes that the analysis is finished and the hardware (at least party) returned, usually this has to be done in 60days (IANAL) which are already over – so no more news on the main 'problem' for now.
PayPal is still refusing to re-open my account (and frozen funds from it) for "identification reasons" (since 3 months now…), but i hope to resolve this next week as well.
If you still want to donate here's a new bitcoin address for the purpose: 15jVFJg4msq4fDomwQBvyWa3CvUQF2yB9p

text: Facebook last night unveiled a new developer platform that enables third-parties to create applications within Facebook. These applications can be added to a user's account and interact with the network to add new functionality to the dashboard, newsfeed, and profiles. This enables a whole new approach to Facebook for companies. No longer are they constrained to a simple group or profile. Companies can now create immersive experiences built right into Facebook and using more information than the Facebook API allowed access to. Facebook Platform is launching with numerous partners, among them are Microsoft and Amazon. Amazon is said to be working on a Facebook application that will let users review books and then buy them on Amazon.

Naval Observatory Library
3450 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20392-5420
The Naval Observatory has a collection of approximately 80,000 books and journals chiefly on astronomy, but also including the fields of mathematics, physics, geophysics, and navigation. There are complete sets of publications from other observatories dating from the 19th century, periodicals in the subject field dating from the 17th century, and a collection of about 800 books on astronomy published between 1482 and 1800. All rare books have been cataloged, and the bibliographic entries can be found in the library's online catalog at http://www.usno.navy.mil/library.
Although most of the archival materials for the Naval Observatory are in Record Group 78 of the National Archives, some remain at the Observatory. Included are lists of instruments purchased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, scrapbooks of newspaper clippings about the Observatory, observing books for different telescopes from the 1870s through the early 1900s, a small historical photograph collection, including glass plates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The glass plates have been scanned and can be found on the library's webpage. Other holdings include some correspondence and scientific papers of William Harkness, Paul Herget, Gerald Clemence, and Raynor Duncombe, as well as outgoing correspondence of the Nautical Almanac, Time Service records, Transit Circle Division records, and administrative records. There are eight metal boxes of materials from the 1874 transit of Venus and expeditions to the stations at Kerguelen Island; Hobart and Campbelltown, Tasmania; Queenstown, New Zealand; Chatham Island (Pacific); Vadivostok, Siberia; Peking, China; and Nagasaki, Japan.

Norfloxacin (Noroxin)
What is Norfloxacin?
Norfloxacin is an antibiotic in a group of drugs called fluoroquinolones (flor-o-KWIN-o-lones). Norfloxacin fights bacteria in the body.
Norfloxacin is used to treat different bacterial infections of the prostate or urinary tract (bladder and kidneys). Norfloxacin is also used to treat gonorrhea.
Norfloxacin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Norfloxacin?
You should not use this medication if you have ever had swelling or tearing of a tendon caused by taking norfloxacin or similar antibiotics.
You may not be able to use norfloxacin if you have a muscle disorder. Tell your doctor if you have a history of myasthenia gravis.
Norfloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This effect may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
Stop taking norfloxacin and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Norfloxacin?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to norfloxacin, or if:
- you have ever had swelling or tearing of a tendon caused by taking norfloxacin or similar antibiotics; or
- you are allergic to other fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, and others)
You may not be able to use norfloxacin if you have a muscle disorder. Tell your doctor if you have a history of myasthenia gravis.
To make sure norfloxacin is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- a heart rhythm disorder, especially if you take medication to treat it
- slow heartbeats, or a personal or family history of Long QT syndrome
- tendon problems, arthritis or other joint problems
- a muscle or nerve disorder
- kidney or liver disease
- seizures or epilepsy
- a history of head injury or brain tumor
- a history of allergic reaction to an antibiotic
- diabetes (especially if you take oral diabetes medication)
- low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia); or
- if you use a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin) and have "INR" or prothrombin time tests
Norfloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This can happen during treatment or up to several months after you stop taking norfloxacin. Tendon problems may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether norfloxacin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether norfloxacin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.

What are the possible side effects of Norfloxacin?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives, or the first sign of a skin rash; fast heartbeat, difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Norfloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of (rupture) a tendon. Norfloxacin can also have serious effects on your nerves, and may cause permanent nerve damage. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:
- signs of tendon rupture--sudden pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, stiffness, movement problems, or a snapping or popping sound in any of your joints (rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions); or
- nerve symptoms--numbness, tingling, burning pain, or being more sensitive to temperature, light touch, or the sense of your body position
Stop using norfloxacin and call your doctor at once if you have:
- headache with chest pain and severe dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeats
- dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
- muscle weakness or trouble breathing
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody
- sudden weakness or ill feeling, fever, chills, sore throat, mouth sores, easy bruising or bleeding
- depression, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia, tremors, feeling restless or anxious, unusual thoughts or behavior, insomnia, nightmares

Norfloxacin Interactions
What other drugs affect Norfloxacin?

- cisapride, cyclosporine, erythromycin, nitrofurantoin, probenecid, ropinirole, tacrine, theophylline, tizanidine
- a diuretic or "water pill"
- heart rhythm medication--amiodarone, disopyramide, dofetilide, dronedarone, procainamide, quinidine, sotalol, and others
- medicine to treat depression or mental illness--amitriptylline, clomipramine, clozapine, desipramine, duloxetine, iloperidone, imipramine, nortriptyline, thioridazine, ziprasidone, and others; or
- NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)--aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, and others
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with norfloxacin, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.Back to Top
What should I avoid while taking Norfloxacin?
You may be taking certain other medicines that should not be taken at the same time as norfloxacin. Avoid taking the following medicines within 2 hours before or after you take norfloxacin. These other medicines can make norfloxacin much less effective when taken at the same time:
- antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum (such as Maalox, Mylanta, or Rolaids), or the ulcer medicine sucralfate (Carafate)
- didanosine (Videx) powder or chewable tablets
- vitamin or mineral supplements that contain iron or zinc
Do not take norfloxacin with dairy products such as milk or yogurt. They could make the medication less effective.
Avoid caffeine while you are taking norfloxacin, because the medication can make the effects of caffeine stronger.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Norfloxacin can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors. Call your doctor if you have severe burning, redness, itching, rash, or swelling after being in the sun.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop taking norfloxacin and call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Norfloxacin may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.Back to Top

Norfloxacin Dosage
In This Section:
How should I take Norfloxacin?
Norfloxacin is usually taken every 12 hours. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take this medicine with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Drink several extra glasses of fluid each day while you are taking norfloxacin.
Take norfloxacin on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating a meal, drinking milk, or eating a dairy product such as yogurt.
Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Norfloxacin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
If you are being treated for gonorrhea, your doctor may also have you tested for syphilis, another sexually transmitted disease.
Do not share this medication with another person (especially a child), even if they have the same symptoms you have.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.Back to Top
What happens if I overdose on Norfloxacin?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.Back to Top
What happens if I miss a dose of Norfloxacin?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.Back to Top

You don't have to catch fish to have fun
The temperature was just below 70. The banks were lined in lush green vegetation and, in spite of all the recent rain we've had, the water in Oak Hollow Lake was remarkably clear. There was a light breeze that rippled the water just enough to discourage me from using a topwater lure but I was determined enough to try one anyway. I love catching a fish on a topwater lure and summer mornings are the best time to catch a bass on one.
The sun was just beginning to hit the water where we were, and as the morning breeze stirred, the feeling took me back to summer morning fishing trips with Daddy when I was still a teenager.
My fishing partner was Joe Clodfelter, a lifelong friend who's shared many outdoor adventures with me. I also knew Joe's Dad, Billy Joe Clodfelter, and in the quiet of the morning, we remembered our dads and exchanged stories. The older I get, the easier it is for me to get swept up in nostalgia. I suppose this is why antiques are so popular today. A simple thing like an Orange Crush bottle or seeing an old galvanized picnic cooler can take us back to a simpler time.
There are some who'd say that those times weren't so great. We didn't have cell phones. We didn't have HD TV or cable. Most families only had one car, and almost no one had air conditioning. As I was thinking this, it occurred to me that maybe that's why there seem to be so many unhappy people today. Every half hour or so, Joe or I would remark what a nice morning it was and how cool the morning was. We began to reminisce about life before air conditioning.
We talked about how we'd manage to sleep without air conditioning. This has been a hot and humid week, but no hotter than it was when I was a boy. I remembered a turquoise colored ten inch window fan that somehow managed to find its way into my room as my fan. My windows were always open those days except when there was a storm and I remember coming into my room after a storm to find the bed wet from rain blowing in through the window. If you're old enough to have lived without air conditioning, do you remember that?
That fan, set in the open window was such a luxury. I can still hear the quiet whirr of the blades cutting through the summer night air and pushing the cooler evening air into my stuffy sleeping quarters. It's hard to believe just how much I appreciated that fan. Of course, at the time, I didn't notice that the whirring of that fan drowned out the night sounds of crickets and the other insects that provided an evening symphony that put me to sleep every night. I sure do appreciate them now.
In those days, the glorious summer mornings were refreshing and cool. They gave a boy a reason to wake up and get outside. Sure, the grass was always wet with dew and the humidity was still there, but the coolness, it felt so good. Of course, the lack of air conditioning made the woods behind the house a more attractive place, too. Sure, there were spider webs and there wasn't much breeze, but the woods were cooler than the house or the yard in the middle of the day and there were great adventures to be had.
It occurs to me that maybe air conditioning has made the kids of today not appreciate the woods like my generation revered them. Today, we're overwhelmed with slogans about saving trees, but I think my generation might have been the last one that truly appreciated the woods.
Thinking about this, it's easy to see why the younger generation doesn't appreciate a cool summer morning as much. I suspect few farmers would ever truly appreciate rain until they suffered a drought. It's the heat that makes you appreciate the cool, the drought gives value to the rain, and summer is made sweeter by a cold, harsh winter.
It's true that life is easier today. We have cell phones and HD cable TV. Most of us have multiple vehicles, and we often eat food that someone else cooked. We travel in comfort to exotic locations for vacation, and we sleep on clean sheets stretched over soft beds in air conditioned comfort. If we wonder about the weather, we can pull up an app on our smart phones that shows it's raining in Mocksville and headed this way. The problem is that all those things don't even come close to providing the joy that a cool morning gave after a week of hot nights without air conditioning. Driving a luxurious car is no match for a day of summer rain on a dry and withering garden.
During that summer morning last week, Joe and I didn't catch many fish. I caught a small hybrid and Joe caught an 11- inch largemouth. We had a good natured argument about who's fish was the largest, but otherwise it was a happy and contented trip. The cool morning and thinking of the blessings in our lives did more for our sprits than a few nice fish ever could have. In fact, not catching any fish this trip might make the next one when we catch fish a little sweeter.

(NL) Brilliant Classics (Record Lable): "C.P.E. Bach: Keyboard Symphonies"
"A curious and unsatisfying reduction of huge music for tiny forces? By no means. These are not, after all, symphonies in the way that Beethoven, let alone Mahler, understood the term, but breezy three-movement affairs which had lately sprung out of an operatic context and were enjoying a new and independent life through the always-unpredictable idiom of C.P.E., who wrote eight such works between 1741 and 1762. Most of them began as symphonies for strings, with wind parts added later when Bach's orchestra was enlarged. ...

Thoughts to Encourage (overcoming)
"Now is time for us to overcome the little nit-picky temporal things in our lives that rain on our parades. If we are crumbling in defeat when times are easy in America, what makes us think we will be victorious when times get hard. "
Geri McGhee
Jer 12:5 "If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?"
Rev 3:10 "Because you have kept the word of My perseverance (patiently endured in trials), I also will keep you from the hour of testing (trials sent by God to test the quality of our faith), that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
Rev 2:7 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.'
Rev 2:11 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.'
Rev 2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
Rev 2:26 'He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;
Rev 3:5 'He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Rev 3:21 "He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
Rev 21:7 "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son."
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
I John 5:4-5

Nature's Variety Instinct Roasted Beef Sticks Dog Treats Customer Reviews
Nature's Variety Instinct Roasted Beef Sticks Dog Treats 6 6
Not for small or geriatric dogs! In general, I BELIEVE in all things NATURE'S VARIETY! I ordered these treats although I had not seen them anywhere locally or advertised elsewhere on the internet. Once I opened the package, I decided NOT to give them to my 3 year old toy poodle mix, Ziggy, and my 11 year old geriatric (nearly toothless when I got her from the Humane Society a year ago) Bichon Frise, ZsaZsa. Although I'm sure these treats are high quality, they were extremely hard almost brittle in my assessment. I was afraid that either dog might choke on the treats so I donated them to my Church's food pantry. My recommendation of this product would depend on the size of the dog and his/her ability or interest in CHEWing! April 11, 2013
Love these Our dog loves these Chew treats. Keep her busy so we can watch tv. Good for her teeth too. We like that they're made in the USA. November 1, 2014
Heath Treat 100 % beef no fillers or carbohydrates to cause a yeast infection October 31, 2014
Always a good treat for dogs! These were the perfect size for my little dogs. I like that 5 came in a pack at such a good price! June 6, 2014
Best Best food I've found for allergy prone pet. Nature's Variety. Goes for all food and treats. September 13, 2013
Excellent product. Dogs love these and they are so good for them. These beef sticks are the only ones to ever buy for your dog as they are the best. February 2, 2013

Imagine living an inspired life, feeling happy,
confident, purposeful and in the flow…
Imagine having radiant health and the
vibrant energy to fully enjoy life…
Imagine creating abundance doing the
work you truly love…
Imagine every day of your year filled with
joy, ease and miracles…
Beginning the first week of January we're offering a group mentoring program to show you exactly how to create the success and happiness that's beyond what you think is possible…
We have shown hundreds of thousands of women just like you in more than 150 countries around the world how to live their dreams and during this program we'll be pulling out all the stops so that you can live yours—and experience miracles in 2015.
We will also be revealing what we've used to create miracles in our own lives
-- some of which we've only shared with our private clients
and our Your Year of Miracles 2014 Community --
and some of which we've never shared before.
For the first time in May of 2013, I announced a program where I was going to take just 8 women under my wing and mentor them. I'd decided it was time to share my secrets – the knowledge and tools I'd used that allowed me to create a truly miraculous life.
The response was overwhelming with well over 1100 women applying…but I could only take eight. The program was so successful with miracle after miracle unfolding for these eight women that I realized I had to share these secrets with you – and with every woman who wants a miraculous life.
I have found a way to do it for a tiny fraction of the cost of that original program.
In this program you'll receive valuable monthly trainings, coaching, and mentoring with me along with extra sessions each month with guest mentors - some of whom never do personal training calls like these!
I'm thrilled to be offering this program with my very first mentor, Debra Poneman, whose seminar gave me the knowledge and tools that launched my career almost 30 years ago!
You've experienced some degree of success and happiness in your life, but you feel like there's still a void inside... something missing...
You've tried lots of things – affirmations, visualizations, gratitude- and yet you're not fully realizing your dreams...
You often feel tired and overwhelmed-- you want more energy and better health but you just don't know how to get your mojo back...
You long for deep and fulfilling relationships but they aren't showing up- you understand that they begin with self-love but that's something that seems to elude you...
You feel anxious that time is ticking by and you haven't accomplished or contributed to the planet in the substantial way you'd like to...
You're frustrated that you're working so hard and not getting the results or making the money you want...
If this is you, it's the perfect time to take a quantum leap...
and in this program you will get all the tools you need to create real miracles -
money miracles, relationship miracles, health miracles,
career miracles, happiness miracles and more...
...just ask our Your Year of Miracles 2014 family!
We've all had struggles in our lives…in our relationships, our careers, our health…and the one thing that's made the biggest difference for the two of us is having amazing mentors – people who have "been there" -- who took us by the hand and lead us through the rocky terrain of life.
I, Marci, know that I would never have enjoyed the level of success I am now living or even be in this business without the guidance I received from Debra over 30 years ago and my subsequent mentors including Jack Canfield.
Who better to help you accelerate your journey, than myself, along with Debra - experienced mentors who have traveled the road before you and know the way… Two compassionate women who know what works and what doesn't… And who want to help you to live your dreams and create miracles with ease and joy – and to avoid those "self-improvement" modalities that are a waste of your precious time and will leave you right where you started.
We look forward to being with you for an entire year and sharing techniques that will catapult your success and happiness and give you an underlying sense of peace through it all.
And we know from experience that a weekend seminar cannot shift your life in a deep and lasting way.
We believe it's important to be together for at least a year so that we can support you in consistently taking the small steps that, in 12 months, will lead to big, permanent changes and a life lived with much greater ease, happiness and a never-ending stream of miracles.And we know from our decades of experience and from what's happened in 2014 that if you implement what we teach, the miracles will begin showing up in the first week…most likely even in the first day!
If you're reading this, chances are you're already thinking that you need new knowledge and additional support to find your way to the next level in your life — you just may not know exactly what that support would look like or how to find it...One thing you know for sure is that you are no longer willing to take the slow path to living the life you were meant to live. You're tired of letting the years tick by and not yet feel like you own your life.
Our total commitment is to fast-track you into your most miraculous year ever
and a life you've always known was possible but has been just beyond your reach.
I know that I can help you create miracles in your personal and professional life because I've created a miraculous life for myself.
BUT I absolutely wouldn't be where I am today, without that one critical thing: my extraordinary mentors. My mentors showed up at the perfect times in my life…. when I was frustrated, floundering and running on empty; working hard but not getting where I wanted to go; feeling that happiness was eluding me.
As soon as they took my hand, the whole game changed and what would have taken me decades to create (if it happened at all) showed up in a shorter time than I could have even imagined.
I remember one day, a few years into my whirlwind of success, recognition and purpose, I looked back and realized: I was living a miraculous life. I had the keys. And I didn't have to wait 20 or 30 years to be given them.
In the past 20 years, I've had the honor of being a #1 NY Times bestselling author many times over. I've written Happy for No Reason, Love for No Reason, and 6 books in Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul series. My books have sold over 15 million copies in 33 languages around the world.
I'm also a featured teacher in the huge film and book phenomenon, The Secret. I'm regularly on national television, I've hosted my own PBS show, and I travel around the world speaking to audiences of thousands.
I get to meet, work with, travel, and vacation with some of the most extraordinary people on the planet.
People have been asking Debra and I for years —actually for decades - to offer a mentoring program like this but the time hasn't been right. Now, everything has come together and we feel that we've created a program where everyone who participates will absolutely have a breakthrough.
Debra is a woman who knows how to create miracles. A pioneer in the world of personal transformation, in the early 1980's while she was still in her 20's, Debra founded the company Yes to Success, Inc. offering tools and techniques to help people create lives of true and profound success. Within a few short years her seminars were being taught in major cities throughout the US and to audiences in 12 countries on 4 continents (and this was in the days before the internet). Her corporate clients included Mattel Toys, McDonnell Douglas, the Xerox Management Group and more—at a time when it was not common for women to be hired as corporate trainers.
Debra was featured in print, radio and TV from coast to coast and in 1983 she gained the unique distinction of her Yes to Success home study course being the first self-improvement product ever offered through an infomercial format.
Many of her students, most of whom started out with only a dream, went on to become mega-successful entrepreneurs, millionaires, billionaires, NY Times bestselling authors, and even household names… While some left their corporate careers realizing, by having used the tools Debra gave them, that they were not following their hearts and went on to endeavors more meaningful to them like founding non-profits or pursuing spiritual paths.
In 1988, true to her teachings, Debra followed her own passion and put her company on hold for 20 years to be a full-time mom at home. Since returning to the world of transformational leadership she has become a best-selling author and is once again traveling the globe teaching people how to say YES! to authentic and lasting success...and how to create real miracles!
Clarify Your Purpose and live every day with joy and passion. This is one of our strongest areas of expertise and we both agree, once you are clear on your purpose, the miracles begin to roll!
Earn dramatically more income than ever before – our students have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled their incomes doing what they love to do.
Create renewed energy and vibrant health so you live each day feeling strong, clear and alive. We have so much to share with you that really works in this area – and we have special guest experts who are world-renowned in the field of health and fitness.
Master the keys to manifesting your grandest dreams and eliminate the habits that are holding you back no matter how tenacious they seem. Can you do this in one year? Some of those habits will vanish in the first few weeks!
Experience more self-love than ever before - and watch how your life changes when that self-love radiates out and attracts deeply connected and fulfilling relationships.
Live an unshakably happy and successful life – for no reason and every reason.
Women face a unique set of challenges. We're very aware of that. We've probably experienced just about every challenge there is ourselves. We know how to guide you through them and are committed to doing just that.
And men, if you understand that some of our content will be specifically directed towards women especially during the relationship and health months, and you still want to join us, we welcome you with open arms.
The first thing we will ask you to do is to pick 3 miracles that you want to manifest in your life during 2015.
And we're talking major miracles here…!
Then, in January we'll begin to guide you, coach you, stretch you, and love you into the most magnificent and miraculously happy and fulfilled year you've ever experienced.
January: Dreaming Your Miraculous Dreams
February: Falling in Love with Yourself / Igniting Divine Love
March: Activating Your Miraculous Success
April: Opening to Your Money Miracles / Igniting Divine Abundance
May: Making Space for Your Miracles
June: Healing Your Body and Soul / Igniting Divine Transformation

August: Developing Your Miraculous Intuition / Igniting Divine Wisdom
September: Creating Miraculous Relationships
October: Living as Your True Self / Igniting Divine Spirituality
November: Stepping Into Your Power

AND, your Miracle Support Groups and on-line Year of Miracles Community will be

12 Master Mentoring Group Calls with Marci and Debra
These live calls will happen at the beginning of each month and focus on the theme for that month. They'll be filled with the latest and most effective and easily implementable knowledge and tools to catapult you to the next level in that area of life. You will be given homework assignments and a Miracles Group to keep you on track so that you consistently grow in success, prosperity and happiness – and move ever closer to manifesting your chosen miracles. You will also get to ask your personal questions and get laser coaching from Marci and Debra during the last half of the calls.
Bi-Monthly Expert Guest Calls
During these 6 powerful calls we will bring in guest mentors just for you...2014 guest experts included Dr. John Gray for Relationships month, Dr. Joe Vitale for Emotional Freedom month, Marianne Williamson for Spirituality month and America's Dream Coach Marcia Wieder to start our year off by helping us formulate the miracles we created in 2014! We promise to continue bringing you the best of the best mentors to share information you have not heard from them on any telesummit but rather what they feel are their most effective techniques as well as their newest discoveries—personally tailored for our Miracles Community with time for Q and A!
Bi-Monthly Light Workers/Energy Healers
There are many people on the planet today who have extraordinary abilities to energetically remove blocks from our lives, to facilitate our connection to the messages the universe is wanting us to hear, to communicate with angels and other light-beings and share their communications, even to clear non-supportive energies from our ancestral lineage. We have invited six of the most effective light workers we know all of whom have contributed profoundly to our lives, to now contribute profoundly to yours.
24 Miracle Group Calls
Each participant will have a Miracles Group (based on time zone and the answers in a simple questionnaire) with 5 - 7 other program participants. We will teach you how to harness the power of your group to intention each other's miracles for faster and more glorious manifestation.
You'll be given specific guidelines to use in creating and maintaining the most effective sessions twice a month via phone or SKYPE – or if you choose to be in a group with people in your own locality, you may want to meet in face to face. Imagine a safe, nurturing space where you can bond, share, and give and receive unconditional encouragement – and use the power of the group intention to manifest your miracles!!!

"Of all the mentors I've had, my time with Marci has been the most profound and valuable. She's intuitive, gifted, smart, practical and generous. She's helped me earn more, impact more people, and bring more joy into my life.
I give her my highest endorsement."
Marcia Wieder, CEO, Dream University
"As a mentor, Marci Shimoff is unparalleled, a rare and precious gem among mentors who will transform your life, and support you in creating a level of success you probably can't even imagine for yourself."
Claire Zammit, Co-Founder, FemininePower.com and EvolvingWisdom.com
"I've never worked with someone who has as much integrity, intelligence and honest excitement for my personal growth. Marci is deeply heart-felt, and also so smart and quick, which is a brilliant combination of heart and mind. She's somebody to look up to AND to hold your hand at the same time."
Shannon McLean, Life Coach
"What I love about working with Marci is her total commitment to me reaching my goals and being as big as I can be. Through Marci's support and guidance I've really stepped into things in my life I've talked about doing for years and I'm finally realizing those goals."
Ellen Rogin, CPA, CFP and Abundance Activist
"Almost 30 years ago I first attended Debra's Yes to Success seminar. I was completely blown away by her unique vision of how every one of us can live our most cherished dreams -- and by her powerful presence and radiant spirit. I ended up attending the seminar so many more times that I lost count and each time I gained new insights and tools that completely transformed my life and lead to the formulation of The Passion Test."
Janet Attwood, NY Times Best-selling author of "The Passion Test"
"If you are truly ready for illumination, look no further than the knowledge you will gain from my good friend Debra Poneman."
Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator of the #1 NY Times best-selling series "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
"Debra's message was so relevant, and her presence and personal connection was palpable throughout the room. She provided everyone with solid and realistic methods for structuring their lives and business ventures in alignment with their true selves, and getting the best out of their talents and potential. Her presentation was truly inspirational and yet grounded in reality. Everyone was undoubtedly touched and deeply moved.
Someone like Debra comes along once in a rare while, and my gratitude for her presence must be expressed, again and again."
Dr. Ray Blanchard, Producer & Director, Super Seminar III"
In this 90 minute LIVE presentation presented to a standing ovation at Janet and Chris Attwood's Discover Your Destiny weekend, Debra tells her remarkable story of starting Yes to Success from an idea to building a global phenomenon (before the days of the internet) and then giving up her skyrocketing career (including her own national TV talk-show) when she realized she wasn't living her passion. She also reveals the secrets to living a deeply happy and fulfilled life no matter what the universe throws your way.
