BEULAVILLE – East Duplin played it short Friday night.
The Panthers took advantage of short field position on four of five of their first-half touchdowns as East Duplin defeated South Lenoir 36-16 in a nonconference football game.
East Duplin scored on touchdown drives of 33, 35, 52 and 21 yards before halftime with most of those short fields coming after Blue Devil mistakes.
Nonetheless, East Duplin coach Battle Holley will take them.
"Field position always helps," he said. "We are not an explosive offense and we are not a score-quick offense. We have to keep the ball."
And the Panthers (3-3) sure moved the ball well in the first half to take a 33-0 lead at halftime en route to their second consecutive victory entering next week's open date. East Duplin hosts Northside on Oct. 11 to open East Central 2-A Conference play.
Senior Raquail Murphy got East Duplin on the board just two minutes in on a 3-yard touchdown run that was set up by Jarvious Scarborough's 56-yard kickoff return to the South Lenoir 33-yard line on the game's first play.
Just like that, the Panthers led 7-0, although they were far from done as they extended their winning streak over the Blue Devils. South Lenoir has not beaten East Duplin since a 10-8 decision in 1985.
East Duplin's Ethan Lanier recovered a fumble at the Blue Devils' 35 on South Lenoir's third play from scrimmage. Moments later, Monquel Baker scored on a short touchdown run to make it 13-0.
Lanier, a junior, then came through again on South Lenoir's ensuing possession as he blocked a punt to give the Panthers the ball at their own 48.
"I went in hard and I got there faster than anybody could," Lanier said. "I swatted it down and looked for the ball."
Eight plays later, Scarborough, East Duplin's sophomore quarterback, scored on a 6-yard run to give the Panthers a 20-0 lead with three seconds left in the first quarter.
Certainly not the game the Blue Devils (1-5) wanted entering their open date next week. South Lenoir visits Goldsboro on Oct. 11 to open Eastern Carolina 2-A Conference action.
"In the first half, we just didn't play very well," South Lenoir coach Kenneth Grantham said. "We did not play very well and we did not do the things we are capable of doing and it showed."
East Duplin's field position advantage continued in the second quarter.
After being stopped on third and nine from their own 24, the Blue Devils lined up to punt, but the snap was poor and punter Kyle Huffman was forced to tuck it and run. He was stopped at the 21.
That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by junior Kenneth Arrington, who finished with 104 yards rushing on 14 carries.
"We wanted to let them (Panthers' offense) to move the ball as less as they needed," Lanier said. "We just kept it short."
And for good measure, East Duplin recovered the second-half kickoff at the SLHS 45 after an attempted squib kick bounced off a Blue Devils player. It set up a 28-yard field goal by Mason Albertson that gave the Panthers a 36-0 lead.
"They made it a lot easier," Arrington said of the Panthers' short scoring drives. "It gave the offense a lot of confidence."
But while most of the Panthers' points came on short fields, East Duplin still showed it was capable of moving the ball deep and quick.
Already leading 26-0, Scarborough threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Dauviea Anderson with 13 seconds left in the second quarter. The drive started on the Panthers' own 29 with 37 seconds left.
"They were playing cover 3 the whole time and we have worked on it (passing game), but we haven't used it a whole lot in games," Holley said. "He (Scarborough) threw some good balls. He's young and this is only going to boost his confidence. This is his first year ever playing quarterback and he's getting better every week."
East Duplin held South Lenoir to just 39 yards of total offense in the first half. The Blue Devils didn't score until the fourth quarter when the game was already decided as Huffman and Dion Jones each scored touchdown runs. The second half used a running clock.
"We were looking to stop their No. 25 (Noah Stroud) because he's got good footwork and he can really run the ball. He runs hard," Lanier said. "We focused a lot on him and their quarterback (Huffman)."

RYAN VREDE writes the Sharks will lose if they don't find a way to combat the Reds' efficient multi-phase approach.
The defending champions bring an unbeaten record to Durban on Saturday despite missing inspirational flyhalf Quade Cooper (serious knee injury) and having other injuries compromise selection continuity.
However, they have shown their class in adapting to these setbacks, tailoring their approach to the strengths of the available personnel as well as adapting to the referees' current vigilance in punishing breakdown infringements. They've reigned in their preferred expansive approach, employing a phase-based method that has brought good reward.
They've played through 393 phases (131 per match) which has enabled them to build pressure on their opponents. While there has been little by way of linebreaks the Reds have forced numerous penalties, with flyhalf Mike Harris proving to be a deadly goalkicker to date, slotting 15 of 17 three-point attempts. Indeed 45 of their 71 points have come by way of penalties.
The Sharks didn't respond well to this tactic in their defeat to the Bulls in the opening match, consistently infringing at ruck time and allowing Morné Steyn to build the Bulls' lead. They improved slightly in this regard against the Stormers a week later, although it was once again their ill-discipline at the breakdown that cost them.
The Reds are by no means a one-dimensional team, with the likes of Will Genia, Digby Ioane, Ben Tapuai and Rod Davies among others capable of punishing teams in open field. However, it would be foolish to ignore the trend in their method. In this regard, discipline will be central to any Sharks victory.
Coach John Plumtree will be well advised to have a special word with Bismarck du Plessis. An undoubtedly gifted player, Du Plessis has the tendency to concede penalties at crucial times and in kickable positions. He leads the tournament in penalties conceded (8) and did so for much of 2011.
The Sharks snapped their two-match losing streak with a win over the Lions at the weekend and Plumtree stressed the importance of building on that platform.
'Hopefully we get better now that we have a win under the belt. When you're two-zip down in a tournament like this, you need to stay away from losing more games consecutively, so we're pleased that we beat the Lions,' he said. 'Now, hopefully, we can press forward and improve on all of our processes. There are some aspects we're happy with in our game but still others we're not. We have to tidy that up.'
Plumtree also drove home the point of avoiding flat periods when in the ascendency.
'At times against the Lions, we did go to sleep and let them get back into the game and you can't allow that,' he said. 'We worked really hard to get into a good position and then took the foot off the pedal. That stressed us so we've got to be more ruthless in that area. The Reds will present something a little bit different on the weekend and we need to be able to cope with that.'
The Sharks are expected to be able to select from the same pool of players available to them last week. Keegan Daniel is nursing a slight ankle injury and Du Plessis is being treated for a knee injury but the medical team is optimistic about his recovery.

Horowitz Added To Men's Lacrosse Staff
August 26, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University men's lacrosse coach Jason Lange has added Michael Horowitz to the coaching staff. Horowitz, who will serve as the team's assistant coach, was the defensive assistant and goalie coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University for the previous two seasons.
During his short time at FDU, Horowitz coached one goalie, and two defensemen, to All-Conference accolades. In his first season, Horowitz helped guide the team to an 8-8 record, including a 6-1 mark at home. While a member of the Devils' coaching staff, Horowitz earned his Master's Degree in Corporate and Organizational Communications.
Horowitz played collegiately at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa. He was a starting goalie for three years and was an All-Centennial Conference selection both as a junior and a senior. Horowitz holds the record for saves in a game with 26 and is fourth all-time in career saves.
Horowitz is a native of Randolph, N.J. and joins a program that went 13-4 in 2012, including a 5-1 conference mark.

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!Learn more about our free engraving

New SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Image Teases Monstrous Face Off
The upcoming action-fantasy film starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron is based loosely on the fairytale penned by the Brothers Grimm and scheduled for a June 2012 theatrical release.
In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.
The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.
Snow White and the Huntsman stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Noah Huntley, Lily Cole, Sam Spruell and Liberty Ross. Playing the dwarfs are Ian McShane as the group's leader Caesar, Toby Jones will take on the role of the timid Claudius, Bob Hoskins will play the blind Constantine, and Eddie Izzard will portray the burly Tiberius. Ray Winstone , Eddie Marsan (as twins Trajan and Hadrian) and Stephen Graham (who is set for the grumpy dwarf Nero) round out the troupe which will also feature a mysterious eighth dwarf. Rupert Sanders will be directing the Joe Roth produced film which Universal Pictures has scheduled for theatrical release on June 1st, 2012.

Peanuts creator Charles Schulz would have turned 89 today. Even though he died more than 11 years ago, his comics and holiday TV specials are still loved by children – and by the young at heart. As we prepare to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, here are 20 facts about Schulz's life and career.
1. Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minneapolis, MN, but grew up across the river in St. Paul. The family nickname for him was "Sparky."
2. A drawing he did of his family dog, Spike, was published in the Ripley's Believe it Or Not! comic book when Schulz was a young man.
3. Schulz was an outstanding early student, skipping 2½ grades in elementary school.
4. In high school, his drawings were rejected for inclusion in the yearbook.
5. During WWII, he served as an Army sergeant with the 20th Armored Division in Europe.
6. After the war, Schulz worked as a teacher for Art Instruction Inc., which offered a correspondence course in how to draw cartoons (he'd formerly been one of their students).
7. Charlie Brown, Linus and Frieda are all based on co-workers at Art Instruction, Inc. The "Little Red-Haired Girl" – Charlie Brown's great unrequited love – is based on an accountant Schulz fell in love with named Donna Johnson.
8. They dated for three years, but when he proposed she rejected him and married a fireman. Schulz called it "a bitter blow" but the two remained friends throughout life.
9. Schulz's first regular cartoon, Li'l Folks, appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press beginning in 1947 when Schulz was 24. The comic acted as a sort of Peanuts prototype – a boy named Charlie Brown, a dog that looked like Snoopy, a little kid with a fondness for Beethoven – but Schulz discontinued it after three years when the paper refused to offer him a raise.
10. Later that year, United Feature Syndicate agreed to publish the strip as Peanuts, a title Schulz himself never liked.
11. The strip made its first appearance on Oct. 2, 1950. It was an instant success.
12. In 1951, Schulz moved to Colorado Springs, CO, where he married Joyce Halverson (the two would later divorce in 1972). He moved the family back to Minneapolis the following year. Schulz would also live in Sebastopol, California.
13. By 1952, the first Sunday Peanuts strip was published and Schulz' work was being featured in 40 newspapers nationwide. It would go on to appear in more than 2,600 papers in 75 countries at its peak.
14. During Peanuts' run from 1950 to 2000, Charles Schulz allowed himself only one vacation, taking a five-week break in 1997.
15. Among Charles Schulz' many awards, he was inducted into the National Hockey Hall of Fame. Ice skating and hockey were often featured in his strips, he played in senior tournaments, and he owned an ice rink in Santa Rosa, California (the snack bar is called "The Warm Puppy").
16. In 1999, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent chemotherapy. He announced his retirement on The Today Show.
17. Though in interviews Schulz maintained he would never allow Charlie Brown to kick that football, near the end of his life he expressed some regret for never giving him this chance.
18. Charles Schulz died in his sleep at 9:45 PM on February 12, 2000. He was 77 years old.
19. The last of his completed strips was published the following morning.
20. On May 27, 2000, 105 cartoonists nationwide, artists behind works as varied as The Boondocks, Hi and Lois, Blondie and Dilbert paid tribute to Schulz by including Peanuts references in their works.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From Barnes & Noble
A Christmas Carol has been made into so many films, plays, television shows, and even operas and graphic novels that it is sometimes difficult to remember that its purest form is the novel that Charles Dickens wrote in the early 1840s and published with the title "A Christmas Carol in Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas." The original is no mere literary antique; it displays its author's talent for rendering vivid character portraits even as he dispenses his modern sense of social justice. This Penguin Christmas Classic hardcover presents this classic in full trimmings as a low price.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - The Miami University ice hockey team fell to Ferris State University, 3-0, Friday night at Ewigleben Arena in Big Rapids, Mich.
The Bulldogs (3-2-2, 2-1-0-0 CCHA) capitalized on two of their five power-play chances and held Miami scoreless thanks to a great effort by goalie CJ Motte. The sophomore had 25 saves.
Ferris State defenseman Brandon Anselmini netted the first goal for the hosts, taking advantage of a Miami crosschecking call with 11:36 to go in the first period. The freshman found the back of the net on a long shot from the blue line. The hard wrister snuck past the right pad freshman goalie Jay Williams, who finished with 28 saves on 31 shots.
The Bulldogs entered the game with the top power play unit in the league, scoring on 40 percent of their chances.
The RedHawks (4-2-1, 1-2-0-0 CCHA) were outshot by the Bulldogs 12-4 midway through the first period, but captured the momentum late, finishing the frame with several quality scoring opportunities.
Miami came out in the second, controlling the puck again for most of the first 10 minutes, but couldn't get anything past Ferris State's Motte.
After seven combined penalties in the first, Miami tallied the lone whistle in the second, a tripping call. MU finished with seven penalties for 25 minutes, while Ferris State had seven for 14 minutes. The RedHawks trailed the Bulldogs in shots 20-16 at the end of the second.
Ferris had a goal waived off five minutes into the third period, but capitalized only minutes later. Justin Buzzeo beat Williams on a nifty wrist shot from the bottom of the right circle.
Ferris tacked on its third and final goal, another power play score, with just less than nine minutes to play. Bulldogs' Connor Schmidt scored in close on a wrist shot after beating two Miami defenders.
Prior to the goal, the RedHawks and FSU were both charged with facemask penalties, but Miami's was a 5-minute major, while Ferris State's was two-minute minor.
Sophomore forward Blake Coleman and freshman forward Alex Gacek led MU in shots with four apiece. Freshman defender Matthew Caito and senior forward Curtis McKenzie both finished with three shots on goal.
The RedHawks return to action Saturday night, as they round out their two-game road series against Ferris State. Game time is 7:05 p.m.

Women's Basketball Starts New Year Off with a Bang
January 4, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Boasting four players in double-figure scoring and 80% shooting from the charity stripe, the Pfeiffer University women's basketball team handed King University their first conference loss of the season, 67-62 inside Merner Gymnasium. Following the game, Head Coach Roy Dow said it best, "Given the quality of King, multiple Falcon players contributed, and the defensive execution from a game plan standpoint was fun to watch." Pfeiffer snaps a six-game losing streak and improves to 2-9 on the season and 1-2 in Conference Carolinas. With the loss, the Tornado drop to 8-3 on the season and 2-1 in conference play. King University had not posted a loss since November 21, 2013 and were unbeaten in the month of December.
Entering tonight's matchup the Falcons knew they'd be facing one of Conference Carolinas' most dynamic teams, as well as the conference's leading rebounder in Bonnie Durrett. Durrett, not just a force on the rebounding side of the ball also leads her team in scoring, averaging 13 points per game. The Falcons walked into Merner Gym tonight clearly prepared to handle Durrett, and more than prepared for the Tornado. In the first half of action, Durrett only saw nine minutes of playing time, pulled down only three rebounds, and was held completely scoreless by the stifling defense of the Falcons.
The game belonged to the Falcons from the opening tip-off as junior Lauren White started off the scoring with a layup to put Pfeiffer up 2-0. White finished the game with the only double-double of the matchup, recording 12 points and 11 total rebounds for the home team. Both teams would trade buckets over the next four minutes of play and following a layup by King's Sydney Harris, the Tornado had what would eventually be their only lead of night. King's lead lasted less than a minute, and with a three-point basket by junior Carter Williams with 14:48 left to play in the first half, Pfeiffer regained control. A three-pointer by King's Stephanie Brantley with 12:40 left to play in the half tied the game for the final time. Grabbing a huge rebound off a missed three-pointer by freshman Vivian Doerr, 5'7" freshman Amy Steller went up strong for a layup under the basket and came away with a three-point play of her own. The Falcons would not relinquish the lead again.
"I thought we finally embraced the challenge of what it takes to defeat an opponent at the college level," Dow added following the win. "Bottom line is we believed, we executed just enough, we were just tough enough, and we finished the game."
The Falcon players in double-figures contributed 80% of Pfeiffer's total points, and joining White were freshman Alexis Stallard who poured in 12, Steller who added ten points, and Williams who led all players with 20 total points. White wasn't the only one boasting double figure rebounds as freshman Ariana Tillman chipped in 10 of her own over the course of only 21 minutes. Pfeiffer finished the night with nine steals, 49 total rebounds, and five blocks. A total team effort.
Pfeiffer continues conference play on January 8th when they travel to Belmont Abbey for a 5:30 pm tip-off.

2. Sewerage/Sewer Flooding - improving the understanding of catchments and climate change with respect to sewer flooding. Also uplifting design standards for new assets to a 1 in 30 year level of flood protection.
3. Flood Resilience - undertaken assessment using Environment Agency guidance looking at the potential risk of a 1/100 flood + 20% and developing a staged plan to improve protection between 2010 and 2020. Also working closely with financial regulator (Ofwat) on the development of an analytical framework to assess asset resilience to flood hazards.
http://www.thameswater.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/corp/hs.xsl/5372.htm (Pages 13, 48 and 49 specifically deal with climate change)
Annual Performance Report 2010/2011: Progress on leakage is reported to Ofwat annually against agreed targets. Thames Water has surpassed its leakage targets for the fifth year running, despite a fourfold increase in burst pipes during the coldest start to winter in 100 years (2010). This report describes the performance of the business including leakage and climate change.
Corporate Responsibility Report: Thames Water report externally on its wider performance through an independently verified Corporate Responsibility report, covering climate change and leakage.
Climate Change Policy: http://www.thameswater.co.uk/cps/rde/xbcr/corp/policy-climate-change.pdf
Supply Chain: In 2008, Thames Water started to actively engage its supply chain on climate change, adaptation, carbon and sustainability. Thames Water has challenged its suppliers to consider their contribution to climate change, what adaptation actions they need to take to ensure they can maintain service levels to the business as climate change impacts increase and to also begin to assess the carbon intensity of the goods and services they provide.
Organizations, institutions and private sector companies at all levels and in a wide range of sectors can become engaged with the NWP by becoming a partner and making Action Pledges. Information about how organizations can become engaged with work on adaptation under the NWP can be found here.

Evoke happy thoughts with bergamot and citrus bubbles
Everyone's favorite nanny, a certain Mary Poppins, who blew in on the East wind and landed at 17 Cherry Tree Lane, was the original inspiration for our Pop In the Bath bubble bar. If you're in need of sorting out a chaotic day we suggest you take a calming bergamot, lemon and mandarin bubble bath. The scent of Mediterranean mandarin groves and orange blossoms breeze past you as you lay back in the bubbles, perfect for dreaming of summertime no matter the season.
- Do it sitting down: If you're not in the mood to do it standing up, Pop in the Bath has the same fragrance as our Olive Branch shower gel.
- Double your pleasure: Orange blossom absolute comes from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree - the same tree that gives us neroli.
- Orange you going to give it a try? Mandarin oil is a delightfully uplifting citrus oil from the mandarin fruit.

High Quality Prints- Great Price!
I loved the Justone feature where I could create my own card exactly how I wanted it. I ordered this invite in a cream color and asked them to make the lines more visible and they turned out great. The photo quality is very good too and for a really great price. We wanted something different and more personalized, and this invitation was just that. We even added some rhinestones to add bling, but they are beautiful by themselves too.

Easy Personalization
First of all, the entire site overall is very user friendly. Before personalizing everything I ordered samples to see the true quality of the products. I was shocked to see that not only was I sent the samples but I was also sent color swatches of my exact wedding colors based off of the colors I had put in. I also received a swatch of all the other colors they have available. I actually gave that sheet to my future sister in law because she is planning her wedding too. The quality is of the products is great. I love how everything can be personalized to your exact colors, pictures, and text. You can even order a sample of your card/magnet once you have personalized it. I did this because I am very particular on how things look. This site is much easier to use than some of the other sites I researched. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and I will definitely recommend others!!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose autoimmune hepatitis and distinguish it from other causes of liver injury
When to Get Tested?
When you have hepatitis that your doctor suspects may be due to an autoimmune-related process
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) are autoantibodies, proteins produced by the body's immune system that recognize and attack its own actin, a protein found in smooth muscle and other tissues, especially the liver. This test detects and measures the amount (titer) of SMA (or antibody against actin) in the blood.
The production of smooth muscle or actin antibodies is strongly associated with autoimmune hepatitis. It may also sometimes be seen in other forms of liver disease, such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but usually at lower antibody titers.
Autoimmune hepatitis occurs when the immune system attacks the body's liver cells. It presents as an acute or chronic inflammation of the liver that is not due to another cause, such as a viral infection, exposure to a drug or toxin, a hereditary disorder, or alcohol abuse. It can lead to liver cirrhosis and, in some cases, to liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis can affect anyone at any age, but about 80% of patients are women. In the United States, more than 70% of people with this disorder will have SMA or actin antibodies, either alone or along with antinuclear antibodies (ANA).
The majority of smooth muscle antibodies produced with autoimmune hepatitis is specifically directed against a protein called actin or F-actin. Testing is available for specific actin autoantibodies, but it is not available in every laboratory. Tests for actin antibodies detect more cases of autoimmune hepatitis but, in some studies, give more false-positive results than tests for smooth muscle antibodies.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

- Ultra-Glide Valve: Kohler has created the next generation of faucet valve technology with their Ultra-Glide ceramic valve. With high quality engineered ceramic materials this valve is built to be exceedingly durable and ultra smooth. With a lifetime of leak-free performance guaranteed, the Ultra-Glide is rated for up to 4,000,000 on/off cycles beating the industry standard by eight times. Unlike standard valves the Ultra-Glide confines the water below the valve stem, keeping the majority of components dry at all times; this reduces the corrosion and deterioration that affects most valves by eliminating the most common leak paths. Additionally this valve increases the turning radius of the faucet handles, allowing for greater and more pin-point control over volume and temperature of dispensed water. The Ultra-Glide represents the pinnacle in versatility, being found in bathroom, kitchen and even bidet faucets, it will last a lifetime and bring any home into the new age of faucet technologies.

I used to carry a water jug to the crag every trip to the Red, but now with this hydration pack that's no longer necessary. Its light and fits on the back really nicely. I also bike to and from school so the easy access bite valve is going to make it super easy to use while riding. Also, since it's a backpack, it is also handsfree. This is really helpful for many reasons, such as: taking a phone call, riding my bike, hiking, and in a multipitch climb. The only issue is it cannot hold more than a granola bar, but that's not expected or necessarily its purpose. Also, it is aesthetically pleasing.
I use this Camelback for when I go mountain biking. I usually go out on multiple hour ride and use both my water bottle cages and a camel back. This classic size holds plenty to get my through my ride. I've never had an issues with camelback in terms of leaking. The bladder has to be kept clean and I've only used plain water in my pack. The size of the pack is just about right if you only plan to carry water and maybe some gel packs or a granola bar. Don't expect to carry your bike pump, a tube or other bike gear though, you'll have to get a larger bag or put this in a saddle bag. I've also used this bag for my marathon training as a substitute for my Fuel water belt and it has worked great. The chest strap really helps keep the pack in place.
Been using Camelbak for over 10years and I've never had any problems. This design turned out to be too small for extra cargo once the bladder was full. So I pretty much only use it when biking because I have a small bag under my seat for essentials, keys, ID, tool kit, first aid, etc. I frequently remove the bladder and use it as a small pack for urban day trips (above essentials + camera, phone, snack, etc). If you ONLY want to carry water, this is it. If you need/want a few extra items, look for a design with pockets.
I've been using Camelbacks for years now, none of them have broken or failed. Also, the water stays well insulated. I'm very impressed with the design - very lightweight and pretty, too.
Camelbak makes the best hydration packs. The materials of this backpack will last for decades with proper use. The sleek design allows for minimal weight and the technologically advanced blatter is efficient, and never cumbersome. I love taking my camelbak hiking and i've also taken it backpacking, fishing, and even to the local theme park. The possibilities are endless. Hydration packs are much more efficient than the traditional bottle. Remember to care for your pack. If left uncleaned, stagnent water in the reservoir can casue mold over time. This can be easily evoided, however, and camelbak offers mold elimenating cleaning methods on their website in case you slip up.
I use this as my primary pack while mountain biking. It has enough space to hold a tire repair kit, small pump, and obviously some water. I don't ride without it. It's very low profile and you hardly know that it's on your back while riding!
I absolutely love this pack. It is small enough to take it anywhere. I have used it for hiking, hunting, camping, a trip to Disneyland and many other crazy adventures. I love the little storage compartment. It hold my keys, gum, candy, cell phone and lots of little extras. I plan on buying a couple more of these packs for the next family adventure we go on. My kids need to have their own pack so they will leave mine alone.My husband has a camelbak from about 12 years ago and it is still doing great. I would day this pack would compare to the pack he has had forever.What are you waiting for? Just buy this Camelbak. You won't be sorry
I work in the field a lot and am constantly on the move and when I'm not moving I'm probably setting up or tearing down muddy equipment, so having this with me and being able to take drinks as I need them without having to clean off my hands or worry about getting chemicals or whatnot on my water bottle is awesome.Also great for light day hikes in the summer. Throw a few granola bars in there, your keys and bungee on a rain coat (I live in the upper midwest, it's going to rain at some point during the day). Holds up great, comfortable on my back and the red is really snazzy looking.

Dog Diarrhea
Dog Diarrhea (Canine Diarrhea)
Signs and Symptoms
Diarrhea is a problem that commonly affects dogs. It can arise as a result of a variety of different causes and involves the passing of soft or liquid stools, sometimes with a bad odor. Also, when a dog is suffering diarrhea, it tends to pass such stools with greater frequency and urgency than usual. In addition, a dog that is afflicted with this problem may experience tenderness in its rectal area and may have matted and soiled hair beneath its tail.
Rather than being an actual illness or disease itself, diarrhea is actually a symptom of other problems or conditions. The factors that can lead to diarrhea in dogs are numerous, and often the underlying cause will not be serious and this problem will only affect a pet for a very short period of time, clearing up on its own. However, in some circumstances diarrhea is a sign of a more serious, and occasionally life-threatening, condition.
If your dog is suffering from diarrhea and you are trying to determine whether this is serious or not, there are a number of signs to look for. First of all, if your dog is chronically experiencing diarrhea, he or she should be examined by a veterinarian. In other words, if the diarrhea persists for more than a few days, this could be a sign that the underlying cause could be serious. Moreover, continued diarrhea can lead to dehydration which can have serious health consequences of its own.
Even in cases of acute, short-lived diarrhea there are warning signs that you can look out for in order to determine the seriousness of the situation. For example, if you observe blood in your dog's stool, this is very likely cause for concern. In addition, if your dog has a fever or is suffering from abdominal pain or bloating, you should contact your veterinarian. Lethargy and listlessness along with diarrhea can also be signs that your dog is suffering from an underlying condition that requires attention. If your pet is vomiting as well as experiencing diarrhea you should alert your veterinarian immediately. Finally, if your dog is elderly, suffers from other health problems, or is particularly young, you should always contact a veterinary doctor when a case of diarrhea arises. This is due to the fact that such dogs are particularly prone to the negative effects of dehydration and also because, in the case of puppies, diarrhea can be a symptom of an infection of deadly parasites.
Since so many different factors can give rise to diarrhea, it's not always easy to determine the particular cause in an individual case. However, there are a number of different tests that can be used when attempting to make a diagnosis for a dog that is suffering from diarrhea. Some of these tests include blood tests, fecal tests, x-rays, endoscopies, and ultrasounds.
Blood tests can alert a practitioner to the presence of a variety of conditions that can potentially cause diarrhea in a canine patient. For example, anemia may be a sign that worms such as hookworms are present in the dog's system. Also, abnormal changes to the levels of white blood cells could suggest that a dog is suffering from allergies or an infection. Fecal tests serve a similar purpose, allowing veterinarians to observe whether worms or harmful bacteria are present in the canine's stools.
X-rays, including barium x-rays, can also be a helpful diagnostic tool in situations where diarrhea is troubling a dog. These radiographs can allow veterinary doctors to identify foreign objects in a dog's system, such as toys or other items that a dog may have swallowed. Additionally, x-rays will reveal abnormal masses and irregularities with the intestinal walls. Ultrasounds will also reveal abdominal abnormalities, and this diagnostic tool can be used to identify problems with soft tissue that x-rays do not reveal.
Endoscopy is another diagnostic tool that a veterinarian may employ. This procedure requires anesthesia and involves passing a small scope into the intestine. This allows for examination of the intestine and also allows veterinarians to obtain small samples of the intestinal lining that can then be further studied for problems. Thus, there are a number of different ways that a veterinarian can test for an underlying cause of a dog's diarrhea, although pinpointing a cause in an individual case may not always be possible.
As suggested previously, diarrhea is categorized either as chronic or acute. In chronic cases, symptoms persist for weeks or even months while in acute cases, symptoms arise suddenly and are short-lived. In the majority of cases, canines suffer from the acute form of diarrhea. Healthy adult dogs that are fed once a day tend to defecate once a day. Similarly, adult dogs that are fed twice a day typically defecate twice a day. When experiencing diarrhea, however, dogs need to defecate more frequently and urgently than normal.
In addition to the categorizations of chronic and acute diarrhea, this problem can also be divided on the basis of whether it is related to the large intestine or the small intestine. This distinction can be important as different medical conditions and illnesses can cause diarrhea in different sections of the intestines. When diarrhea comes from the large intestine, a dog may have trouble passing its feces. Furthermore, mucous may accompany the stool. On the other hand, when diarrhea originates from the small intestine, stools tend to be abnormally large and have a particularly bad odor.
The reason that a dog's system may trigger diarrhea to occur is in order to quickly expel toxins from the body, before they have a chance to be absorbed. Sometimes one or two episodes of diarrhea are enough to get rid of these toxins; however, when the underlying cause is more serious the body may continue to react in this manner, providing a warning sign of the triggering illness or medical condition and also leading to other problems such as dehydration.
The potential causes of diarrhea are numerous and range from minor incidents or conditions to more serious and severe illnesses. Many times, diarrhea is caused by something that a dog has eaten. This can include swallowing foreign objects, ingesting garbage, eating food that is of low quality or that has gone bad, or eating food that a dog is allergic to. Toxins such as insecticides can also cause diarrhea, as can contaminated water, intestinal parasites, and viruses. Canines living in kennels are particularly prone to exposure to infectious parasites and to bacteria such as salmonella, which often cause diarrhea. Furthermore, life-threatening illnesses such as cancer have also been known to give rise to diarrhea in some canine patients. Numerous other factors can also trigger diarrhea, and the ones listed above are just a few of the broader and more common causes. If your dog's diarrhea is causing you concern, contact your veterinarian and he or she will be able to determine whether or not the underlying cause of the problem is serious or not.
The treatment required for a dog suffering from diarrhea will depend upon what is causing the problem for an individual pet. For instance, if parasitic worms are the cause, a deworming treatment will get rid of the parasites and put an end to your pet's diarrhea. However, in non-severe cases where treatment of an underlying condition is not required, there are a number of steps that you, as a pet owner, can take to ease your dog's suffering and to help shorten the length of time that diarrhea will affect your pet.
To begin with, dietary changes can be very helpful and effective. Sometimes reducing your pet's food for a day or two can help to quickly clear up diarrhea. Another technique is to feed your dog a homemade, bland diet until the symptoms have passed. In cases of large intestine-related diarrhea, a high-fiber diet may prove effective. Certain homeopathic remedies and supplements can also provide relief for dogs experiencing diarrhea.
Homeopathic remedies contain natural ingredients, some of which have properties that can effectively reduce the discomfort of diarrhea and the length of time that it lasts for. Natural substances such as barberry and peony, for example, have antibiotic properties that can help to combat diarrhea-causing bacteria. Other ingredients such as ginger, myrrh, and thyme reduce pain, spasms, and inflammation, thereby reducing the troubling symptoms of diarrhea and increasing your pet's comfort.
In most cases, diarrhea will quickly clear up on its own or can be treated quite easily. However, if your dog is showing any signs that its condition may be more serious, or if the diarrhea persists, be sure to alert your veterinarian as soon as possible.
