by Jeff Shannon Eyes Wide Open: A Single Artist's Vision
Ask anyone who's devoted their life to the study and appreciation of movies and they can probably tell you exactly when they were "bitten by the movie bug," that moment of personal epiphany that sparked an all-consuming passion for what is arguably the greatest, most powerful medium of artistic expression.
In my case, it was Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" that literally changed my life. That's an influential milestone I share with many cinephiles who came of age in the 1950s and '60s, especially those "movie brats" (among them James Cameron, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg) who were drawn to imaginative visions of the future. Because I'd spent most of my childhood outdoors or casually enjoying Disney films and other kid-friendly fare, I didn't see Kubrick's visionary masterpiece until it played a return engagement at Seattle's glorious Cinerama Theater, in 1971, when I was nine years old.
(With its huge, curved Cinerama screen, the Cinerama is still the only theater in Seattle capable of showing "2001" as Kubrick intended. It exclusively hosted the film's original 77-week Seattle run beginning in April 1968, and the fully restored 70-millimeter print of "2001" had its world premiere there, appropriately enough, in 2001, two years after the aging cinema was purchased and beautifully renovated by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. It's now one of only three theaters in the world -- along with the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles and the Pictureville Cinema in Bradford England -- equipped to exhibit three-panel Cinerama, requiring three synchronized projectors for the only seven films created in the three-strip Cinerama process, including 1956's "This Is Cinerama" and 1962's "How the West Was Won." Starting this week [Sept. 30th] and running through mid-October, Seattle's Cinerama is hosting a "70mm Festival" of 15 films, including "2001," that originally premiered there.)
Like no other film before it, "2001" opened my eyes to the power of a single artist's vision and led me to understand the supremacy of a great director. I didn't know it then, but I'd discovered the basis of auteur theory, and while it would be foolish to deny that film is (to echo that award-acceptance cliché) the most collaborative of all art forms, it's no contradiction to embrace the Kubrick quote that greets all visitors to kubrickfilms.com, Warner Bros.' authorized Kubrick website: "One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential for one man to make a film." (Disregard "man"; Kubrick would've been the first to include female filmmakers in his statement.)

Jack White Says New Album, 'Blunderbuss,' Is Inspired by Death
Jack White Says New Album, 'Blunderbuss,' Is Inspired by Death
Jack White
Jack White's new album, Blunderbuss, will be released April 24, and we've posted previews and videos of two singles, "Sixteen Saltines" and "Love Interruption."
But for those of you who wonder what inspires White these days -- let alone what a blunderbuss is -- The New York Times has the answer: death.
White told The Times that death is one of the central themes and motifs of the new album.
"I was writing the liner notes the other day, and it seemed like it had a lot to do with that [death]," White said. "For some reason, that was overwhelming throughout the lyric writing."
Last week, White mentioned that he missed being in The White Stripes, adding that their split wasn't up to him alone and that if he had the chance, he'd "make a White Stripes record right now."
But, speaking to NME.com last month, White said there is "absolutely no chance" he'd ever reform the band, saying he'd only consider it if he "went bankrupt."
By the way, a blunderbuss is a short musket with large bore and flared muzzle, used to scatter shot at short range. Old-timey pirates used to love these things.

Fixed-cycle latency accesses to a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) are designed for read and write operations in a packet processor. In one embodiment, the DRAM is partitioned to a number of banks, and the allocation of information to each bank to be stored in the DRAM is matched to the different types of information to be looked up. In one implementation, accesses to the banks can be interleaved, such that the access latencies of the banks can be overlapped through pipelining. Using this arrangement, near 100% bandwidth utilization may be achieved over a burst of read or write accesses.

The present application claims priority of U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/813,104, filed Jan. 13, 2006, incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to high bandwidth network devices. In particular, the present invention relates to implementing high capacity look-up tables in a high bandwidth network device.
2. Description of Related Art
Look-up tables are frequently used in network or packet-processing devices. However, such look-up tables are often bottle-necks in networking applications, such as routing. In many applications, the look-up tables are required to have a large enough capacity to record all necessary data for the application and to handle read and write random-access operations to achieve high bandwidth utilization. In the prior art, Quad Data Rate (QDR) static random access memory (SRAM) have been used to meet the bandwidth requirement. At six transistors per cell, SRAMs are relatively expensive in silicon real estate, and therefore are only available in small capacity (e.g., 72 Mb). A memory structure and organization that provide both a high bandwidth and a high density is therefore desired.
A packet processor (e.g., a router or a switch) that receives data packets includes a single input and output data bus, a central processing unit and a dynamic random access memory having multiple banks each receiving data from the data bus and providing results on the data bus with each bank storing a look-up table for resolving a field in the header of each data packet. The accesses to each bank may be of fixed latency. The packet processor may access the banks of the memory in a predetermined sequence during packet processing.
Because of the higher density that may be achieved using DRAM than other memory technologies, the present invention allows larger look-up tables and lower material costs be realized simultaneously.
In one embodiment, a memory controller is provided that includes a scheduler that efficiently schedules memory accesses to the dynamic random access memory, taking advantage of the distribution of data in the memory banks and overlapping the memory accesses to achieve a high bandwidth utilization rate.
The present invention is better understood upon consideration of the detailed description below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
To increase the look-up table capacity, dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) may be used in place of SRAMs. Unlike SRAMs, for which six transistors are required in each memory cell, each DRAM cell uses for storage purpose a capacitor formed by a single transistor. Generally, therefore, DRAMs are faster and achieve a higher data density.
However, a DRAM system has control requirements not present in an SRAM system. For example, because of charge leakage from the capacitor, a DRAM cell is required to be "refreshed" (i.e., read and rewritten) every few milliseconds to maintain the valid stored data. In addition, for each read or write access, the controller generates three or more signals (i.e., pre-charge, bank, row and column enable signals) to the DRAMs, and these signals each have different timing requirements. Also, DRAMs are typically organized such that a single input and output data bus is used. As a result, when switching from a read operation to a write operation, or vice versa, extra turn-around clock cycles are required to avoid a data bus conflict.
The extra complexity makes it very difficult in a DRAM system to achieve a bandwidth utilization rate of greater than 50% in random access-type operations. However, much of the complexity can be managed if the DRAM system is used primarily for look-up table applications. This is because look-up tables are rarely updated during operations. In a look-up table application, write accesses to the look-up tables are primarily limited to initialization, while subsequent accesses are mostly read accesses; turn-around cycles are therefore intrinsically limited to a minimum.
Taking advantage of the characteristics of the look-up table applications, according to one embodiment of the present invention, fixed-cycle latency accesses are designed for read and write operations. In that embodiment, the DRAM system is divided into a number of banks. The information to be accessed is distributed among the banks according to the pattern in which the information is expected to be accessed. If the information access pattern is matched to a conflict-free access sequence to the banks, the latencies of the banks may be overlapped through a pipelining technique and by using burst access modes supported by the DRAM system. With a high degree of overlap, a high bandwidth utilization rate (e.g., up to 100%) can be achieved. To achieve this high bandwidth utilization, techniques such as destination pre-sorting and stored data duplication may need to be applied.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
Referring to
Because a narrower result data path can expect less jitter or alignment problem, by narrowing the data path, the packet processor may operate at a higher frequency. For example, using QDR SRAM returns a 128-bit data result per half-cycle, while look-up requests are issued one per clock cycle. Using double data rate (DDR) DRAMs, a 32-bit result can be obtained per half-cycle, while latency is 4 clock cycles per request. As a 32-hit data path can expect less jitter or alignment problem than a 128-hit data path, the packet processor can operate at a higher clock rate by implementing the memory system using DDR DRAMs, rather than QDR SRAMs. In addition, because of the fewer pin counts required for the data bus—a single data bus for a DRAM implementation, as opposed to input and output data buses in an SRAM implementation—routing congestion on the circuit hoard can be expected. Consequently, a memory system of the present invention can easily handle a 10 Gbits/second packet processor, and can be scaled without degradable for a 40 Gbits/second packet processor. Such a memory system is illustrated below in conjunction with
According to one embodiment of the present invention, which is shown in
In one packet processing application, DRAM system 100 receives memory access requests from CPU 105 and other devices. In one embodiment, DRAM system 100 receives memory access requests from a content addressable memory (CAM 406). Such a CAM may be used, for example, as a cache memory for packet processing. In many packet processing applications, a table lookup operation is most efficiently performed by a content addressable memory. However, such table look-up operation can also be performed using other schemes, such as using a hashing function to obtain an address for a non-content addressable memory. The content addressable memory is mentioned here merely as an example of a source of a DRAM access requests. Such memory access requests may come from, for example, any search operation or device.
Scheduler 401 shares the bandwidth between CPU 105 and CAM 406, by scheduling and ordering the memory access requests using its knowledge how the various data types are distributed and duplicated in the memory banks. For example,
After receiving read or write operation requests from scheduler 401, (e.g., stored in order a first-in-first out memory, or FIFO), finite state machine 402 sets control flags for generating RAS or CAS signals. When an read access follows a write access, finite state machine 402 also generates the necessary signals to effectuate a "turn around" at the data bus (i.e., from read access to write access, or vice versa). Finite state machine 402 also generates control signals for refreshing DRAM cells every 4000 cycles or so.
DRAM system 100 may be extended to allow scheduler module 401 to receive memory access requests from more than two functional devices (i.e., in addition to CAM 406 nand CPU 105). Also, in another embodiment, a 4-bank DRAM system maintains two look-up tables. In that embodiment, one look-up table is duplicated in banks 0 and 1, while the other look-up table is duplicated in banks 2 and 3. In another embodiment including a 4-bank DRAM system, one look-up table is duplicated in all four banks.
In some situations, memory access requests are required to be executed in the order they are received. For example, read and write accesses to the same memory location should not be executed out of order. As another example, in one packet processing application implemented in a system with two DRAM modules 0 and 1, if CAM 406 accesses DRAM module 0 for data packets P0 and P1, and accesses both DRAM module 0 and DRAM module 1 for data packet P2, the access to DRAM module 1 for packet P2 may complete much ahead of the corresponding access for packet P2 at DRAM module 0, as DRAM module 0 may not have completed the pending accesses for packets P0 and P1. To maintain coherency, one implementation has scheduler 401 issues non-functional instructions, termed "bogus-read" and "bogus-write" instructions. Finite state machine 402 implements a "bogus-read" instruction as a read operation in which data is not read from the output data bus of the DRAM module. Similarly, the "bogus-write" is implemented by an idling the same number cycles as the latency of a write instruction. (Of course, a "bogus-read" instruction can also be implemented by idling the same number of cycles as the latency of a read instruction.) By issuing "bogus-read" and "bogus-write" instructions, synchronized or coherent operations are achieved in a multiple DRAM module system.
The above detailed description is provided to illustrate specific embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to be limiting. Many variations and modifications within the scope of the present invention are possible. The present invention is set forth in the following claims.

are good, and some are bad, but no doubt all of them wickedly rule the scene.
put together a list of our very favorites from movies and TV shows. Read on to
see who made the cut!
Marnie Piper
the Wicked Witch of the West, Marnie Piper uses her powers for good. She is the
main character of the Disney Channel original movie Halloweentown series and, boy, does she take care of business! We
love how sweet and smart she is. Marnie Piper proves that you can be a good
witch, and even save the world as one (and on several occasions!).
The Queen
we're back with a bad witch. Some people forget about the Queen from Snow White, but we never could. Her
transformation in the movie is super creepy, and definitely something we'll
always remember. This witch is pure evil, and trying to get Snow White with
that poisonous apple. Despite her wicked motives, she still makes the list.
Sabrina the
Teenage Witch
might not have been old enough to catch Sabrina when her show was on, but there
are still reruns of this TV classic. Sabrina's a good witch, and a funny one at
that. She uses magic in her everyday life…and a lot of the times it backfires.
We couldn't resist putting Sabrina on our list. Come on, she has a talking cat!
Alex Russo
might not have ever caught Sabrina on the small screen, but we're almost
positive you've seen Alex Russo's antics. Sadly, Wizards of Waverly Place has
ended, but there is going to be a one-hour special in early 2013! Alex is
pretty famous for being both a good and a bad witch. She may pull a lot of
pranks, but she's got her heart in the right place.
list of witches is simply not complete without this Hogwarts hunnie. Harry may
be the center of attention in the movie (and book) series, but we totally love
how brainy and fearless his best gal pal is. Hermione grows up and becomes an
awesome witch, without having to cheat or be evil along the way.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Chad Greenway played an inspired game on Sunday while helping lead the Minnesota Vikings to a win against the San Francisco 49ers, and he revealed the reason Monday why he had a little extra motivation. Greenway's father Alan, who has been dealing with leukemia, was in attendance for Sunday's big 24-13 win against San Francisco, in which Chad led Minnesota with 13 tackles and two sacks and another tackle for loss. Greenway usually doesn't need any added incentive on game days, but having his dad at the Metrodome added something more for the Vikings' linebacker. "I knew I wasn't going to leave anything left in the tank, that's for sure," Greenway said. "Not that I really ever do, but I want it to be special. I'm so glad. Nobody in this building knew that he was even going to be there besides me, but I'm just happy that it turned out and we played that kind of football and for me it was important." Greenway, who had left during the team's minicamp this summer ...

Used Shelby as jump off point from Amtrak en route from Chicago to Seattle for week long sidetrip touring Montana.

On our way back to Canada we decided to stop for one last night in the US. Looking up options online we opted for the Sherlock Motel, and were not disappointed. It was a nice, comfy place to spend the night. For a longer term stay we would have liked a fridge, but as it was just for the night,... More
This older motel was very comfortable for us as we needed to recharge after a busy week driving around Yellowstone and Glacier National parks. Our double queen bed room was quiet, clean and furnished with a table with four chairs, a loveseat, fridge and microwave, coffeemaker with shelves and a small bureau. The main street of town was a short... More
We usually make it south of the Canada/US border a couple times a year and it's usually in the evening by the time we get there, so Shelby is a good town to put up for the night.

Clean modern room, coffee in room, AC worked great, great price. Owners are very nice folks, always there to help when needed. This was not the first time we have stayed here and it will not be the last time either. We go to Shelby once a month to do shopping and this is the place to stay for us,... More
There is no comparison with the chain hotels... The Sherlock wins hands down. The hospitality provided by this family run motels is absolutely the best.. Clean rooms, linens, bathrooms and all the amenities... But the best part is the owner who is more than delightful and goes out of her way to make your stay a great experience.
Simple as that. Mark and Sonya make you know you're safe, that you can rest, that there's a perfectly comfy room, and bed for you. The Sherlock is clean, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. You can relax, completely, walk to stores, restaurants, bars, you can people watch in the shade. Because you're fine here, and you're welcomed. Every... More
This is a no-frills motel, close to the main street and away from the railway tracks where some other accommodation lies. No breakfast is provided. The owner Sonja gave us a good welcome, an excellent recommendation for dinner, the Frontier Restaurant, and a less good one for breakfast, the Griddle
We choose Sherlock Motel based on Tripadvisor reviews. We were looking for a less expensive alternative to the the high priced chain motels. The room was clean, but had lots of flying bugs. While we're not creeped out by bugs, we were a bit disappointed, because this motel has so many "excellent" ratings. In all fairness, due to the fact... More

This is one of the best book stores in London as far as I can tell. You can literally (pun intended ;) ) spend a whole day long there wondering and sampling the books on display. Not to mention their huge collection of the travel books, guides, history books, etc.
The place in Marylebone High Street is a very convenient space with a lot of room for nerdy bookworms like me :)more
Since moving to London I have rather fallen in love with my neighborhood, ok so I live on Marylebone High Street so its perhaps not a surprise that this would happen.
One of Marylebones institutions is Daunt Books, roughly split over three levels, once you wandered right the way through this is a book shop from a time now lost. With both on just about anything its easy to get lost in a...more
This beautiful Edwardian bookshop in the middle of Marylebone High Street is full of style and substance. Gorgeous wood interiors and skylights, excellent book selection, helpful & friendly staff, and a wonderful shelving system that encourages browsing, serendipity, and discovery.
I adore the way they organise travel books in groupings with non-traditional travel titles. In those groupings...more
I just love old fashioned book shops and this place really hits the nail on the head. The selection is wide and yet it maintains a really old fashioned vibe.
The travel section (which was my target for the day) made me want to travel everywhere and had relevant novels as well as traditional travel books.
I'll be coming here again for some peaceful browsing. If they had a couple of comfy arm...more
Probably my favourite bookstore ever (maybe second to my childhood corner manga stand that has disappeared many years ago, mmm hard to decide).
It's "designed for travelers who like reading" (raising my hand eagerly) . Famous for it's travel book collection, but definitely a gem for literature books as well.
Their travel books are way beyond just travel guides, although there are many of...more

America gets slammed for having McDonald's and Starbucks on every block, but when it comes to each state, we certainly have widely differing tastes.
With the recent publication of Jon Krakauer's "Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town," many are wondering how prevalent rape actually is in Missoula.
The Special Olympics aren't the only sporting event going on in Missoula this week, the Hurling National Championships are in town too.

Is Missoula the most patriotic city in America? It's a hard question to get a quantifiable answer to, but by at least one standard, Missoula appears to be making a bid for that title.
Should Montana be the next state that allows teachers to carry a firearm while on school property? The state of Oklahoma just passed a new bill that will allow teachers to carry guns in school. Although if teachers want to exercise their right they will need to undergo training and must be licensed

Let's face it, some Montana names are difficult to pronounce. Even some clues on how it's spelled and how it is phonetically written can be a bit of a challenge.
There is a lot of deep, rich history when it comes to some Montana cities and areas. Sometimes it's named after the explorers, sometimes its based on Native American words. But no matter what, these names are challenging to say out loud.

Fall lyrics
Album: Rocky Mountain High
Reflections in the water like shadows in my mind
speak to me of passing days and nights and passing time.
The falling leaves are whispering, winter's on its way
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday
It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the wind
and more than that it's oh so sad to see the summer's end.
And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see
if it were mine to make a change, I think I'd let it be.
But I don't remember hearing anybody asking me.

At a time when investors are clamoring for income, U.S. corporations remain too stingy with dividends.
The benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index has a dividend yield of just 2%, one of the lowest of any major global market. European stocks yield an average of nearly 5%, and even the historically low-yielding Japanese stock market pays 2.5%.
American companies have the wherewithal to raise dividends because profits are at record levels and the payout ratio—the percentage of profits paid out in dividends—is near an all-time low at 28%. It has averaged 40% over the past 20 years.
Most companies can afford to pay at least a 2% dividend, and many big companies are capable of paying close to 4%. Among them are ExxonMobil xom 0.9348063615393954% Exxon Mobil Corp.

A 4% dividend seems to resonate with investors who are willing to pay premium prices for companies with high yields. Some of the strongest S&P 500 industry groups last year—utilities, consumer staples and drugs—had some of the index's highest yields.
During 2011, high-dividend payers were the top-performing group in the S&P 500, with the top 50 yielders at the start of 2011—all with 4%-plus yields—returning more than 8% (not including dividends), compared with a flat showing for the entire index, according to Birinyi Associates.
"This is a market environment where dividend-paying stocks in and outside the technology sector have outperformed," says Toni Sacconaghi, technology analyst at Sanford Bernstein. "Investors increasingly value dividends in their assessment of stocks." He says that Apple, which pays no dividend, could pay 4% and still add considerably to its market-leading cash hoard of $81 billion.

This could be the year Apple starts offering a dividend, because CEO Tim Cook seems willing to consider it, telling investors last year: "I'm not religious about holding cash." Perhaps reflecting the company's early struggles, co-founder Steve Jobs never liked parting with cash. But Apple's cash is growing so rapidlyit could hit $100 billion at the end of the current quarter and $150 billion sometime next year without any action.
EVERY CEO WANTS a higher stock price, and dividends may be a better route than buybacks. "It's almost like dividend-paying stocks are their own asset class and trade at higher multiples than non-dividend-paying stocks," says Tavis McCourt, a technology analyst at Morgan Keegan. He has urged tech companies to boost their dividends.
Companies with high and sustainable dividends are often valued more like bonds than stocks, partly because 4% and 5% dividend yields often are higher than the rates on many corporate bonds.

While some wonder if dividend investing is a fad, the strategy probably has staying power. Bonds yield little, and short-term rates are near zero, leaving individuals with few places to find yield. Demographics favor income investing; millions of baby boomers retire each year, and they want income to supplement Social Security and minimize the drawdown of retirement assets.
Opportunities are limited in the bond market, with Treasuries topping out at 3% and high-quality 30-year municipals at only 3.5% after a sharp rally in recent months. These yields are near the lows of the past 50 years.

Value and income-oriented institutional investors own little Apple stock, despite its reasonable forward P/E of 11. Sacconaghi says that investors wonder why Apple's P/E ratio is low, given its high growth rate, and he thinks a key reason is that the company's refusal to pay a dividend limits its investor base. "Apple could attract significant classes of incremental investors by paying a dividend," he maintains.
MANY EXECUTIVES are understandably cautious about paying big dividends after the searing experience of 2008 and 2009, when a quarter of the companies in the S&P 500 were forced to cut payouts. Yet managements may be making a mistake now in favoring share buybacks. Even with the problem posed by the repatriation of foreign income, companies generally have plenty of U.S. profits to pay nice dividends.
Within the S&P 500, companies are spending more than $2 on buybacks for every dollar in dividends, according to S&P data. That split ought to change. Companies should consider returning as least as much in dividends as buybacks. The S&P 500 is valued at about 12 times projected 2012 profits. If companies adopted an average 40% payout ratio, the index's yield would be 3.3%, versus 2% now.

There's truth to the old line that buybacks favor sellers of a stock, while dividends benefit holders. Many institutions favor buybacks because they believe repurchases will push up stock prices and performance and make portfolio managers look good.

Says CEO Steve Luczo: "We have had significant positive support from our investor base, as well as a shift to more longer-term holders as a result of our dividend policy." McCourt says that cash-rich companies like Cisco made a mistake in setting low initial dividends. He says dividends must be at least 2% to matter to investors.
Google, like Apple, has a huge amount of net cash, some $40 billion, and has shown no desire to share it with holders. That may be hurting its stock price, which is down in the past year, despite robust profit growth, amid investor concern about capital discipline after such moves as its coming $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility, the cellphone maker, and its $2 billion buy of a Manhattan office building.

"Media managers are afraid of the signaling effect, and they're slow to concede that their companies aren't the high-growth companies they used to be," he says. DiClemente says they can afford higher payouts, because they generate a lot of free cash flow, and their businesses are less exposed to volatile advertising, as they get more revenue from subscription fees for their cable networks.
Disney recently lifted its dividend by 50%, but it still yields only 1.5%. CBS yields 1.4%; Viacom, 2.1%, Discovery Communications (DISCA), nothing, and Time Warner 2.5%. "There is definitely an appetite for dividends in the investment community, and we don't have it in the media space," he says, save Time Warner. Some companies, particularly Viacom, emphasize stock buybacks.
DiClemente thinks dividends should be higher across the board,with CBS and Time Warner lifting theirs to 4%, and Disney and News Corp. (NWSA) going above 2%.

ExxonMobil pays 2.2%, the lowest among major energy stocks. It has long favored buybacks, but should consider a more balanced approach. Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) is the polar opposite, with a 4.8% payout and no buybacks.
Even Berkshire Hathaway should weigh a dividend, given its ample earnings. CEO Warren Buffett has been cool to the idea, because he'd prefer to invest Berkshire's earnings and has a phenomenal record doing so.
Yet Berkshire probably will pay a dividend—a sizable one—in the post-Buffett era when the Gates Foundation, the recipient of most of Buffett's holdings, will want income to meet annual spending requirements for charitable institutions. Starting small, with a dividend of 2%, could broaden the investor base and drive up the shares, which have been laggards in recent years.

Ephemera style influenced by the late 1800s. I've experimented with an engraving style on Mr. Lincoln. Love that he doesn't have his beard, which is probably rare in photos and illustrations. This product did exist, just not in this style. I wanted to give a letterpress feel with the type. Larger detail image attached and behind the scene process image as well for curious minds.

Product description
The 2007 pet food recalls followed a multitude of pets getting sick and dying from contaminated food; now pet owners must take charge of what they feed their dogs and cats. With The Ultimate Pet Food Guide, veteran dog trainer, behaviorist, and author Liz Palika focuses on nutritional needs and covers every type of feeding, including controversial raw diets, homemade cooked food, and commercial foods. Palika also addresses introducing new foods; what "human foods" pets shouldn't eat; free-feeding; responsibility for food safety; where ingredients come from; and red flags in ingredients. Included are over fifty veterinarian- and pet-nutritionist-approved recipes and diets tailored to special-needs pets, such as puppies/kittens and pregnant, older, overweight and/or more sedentary animals.
