Getting to know Victoria - Australia
Welcome humble colleagues....
Sitting here in the subdued incandescent light of my drawing room, sumptuously cradled by the studded leather of my chesterfield suite while unrestrictively attired in my leopard skin smoking jacket and fez, I feel the time is now appropriate to regale the world with my tale of high adventure and daring....
Well...ok, it's really just a few pictures of me and some mates blatting around Victoria, drinking beer and generally raising our cholesterol levels.
The rough outline was:
Left Adelaide in late February and headed over to the second round of the World Superbike Championship at Phillip Isand, Victoria with three mates.
Then headed off in no particular direction to "discover" the delights of this wonderful southern state of Oz.
9000 kilometres of dirt & tar and almost four weeks later, I returned home, sent my pastel blue crimpolene safari suit to the dry cleaners and booked in for an ass-cheek transplant......
A long time in a small state, I know, but it was worth every minute.
Here's how it went.......
I met up with Jason (CBR 1100XX) and George (CBR 1000) at a bakery to the south of Adelaide, fully prepped and keen to do some miles.
Jason had recently met another rider, Mel, who was heading over to the races with another group of three so we decide to team up for the trip and share our enthusiasm.
Out of suburbia, over the Wellington ferry across the lower Murray river and on toward our digs for the night over the border at Warrnambool. (around 600 kms)
I learnt a lesson early in the journey here: be cautious when riding in close company with others you're not familiar with.
Headed out across the backroads, Johno, who had just come off night shift, came oh so close to splattering his good self all over the front of an oncoming truck. A combo of warm afternoon cruising, attempting to read a map on the go and weariness, led him into the opposite lane at precisely the wrong time.
When he looked up with a scant few yards between himself and the truck (that was already half off the road) only the most radical turn I've seen at highway speed saved his ass.
Had Johno not been cranked over hard his knee would have collected the bullbar....it was that close!
Positioned in close quarters to this, the vision remained imprinted on my mind for the rest of the trip.....(which was probably not a bad thing, really)
The bikes parked in Apsley, with my trusty KTM on the far left:
We'd been led to Apsley by the now wide awake Johno, in search of the reputedly fantastic food at the local pub.
When we pulled up it didn't look too special, which was when we realized that we should have been at Frances instead...oh well...push on after a steak sandwich & beer. (and a shitload of taunts..... Not having a good day the old chap!)
Up early the next day and it was off down the Great Ocean Road and the many miles of beautifully winding tarmac carved into the hillsides that could easily be the subject of a ride report in itself. Rainforest, ridges, and miles of beautiful blue ocean.
A brief stop at Lorne:
And then onwards to catch the Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry:
Saw some blokes out on the bay in their dinghy:
The main aim today, apart from getting to the track, was to heal the scars of not having the promised cullinary delights at Apsley (Frances) yesterday.
So I decided to lead the pack on a headlong charge to the best vanilla slice in Oz.
Having visited this fine establishment previously I knew that "the slice" would be a big hit.....despite the $7 price tag per chunk!
("That's about the same price as one Jack Daniels & Coke you tight-asses so stop whinging and get it into 'ya.")
Slice of heaven:
Smiles all 'round:
After a quick calculation, we reckoned that the slab of vanilla slice in the shop front window, from which our pieces were removed, would be worth about $500.
I wasn't too far away from getting Jason to do a ram raid with the Honda and splitting the difference on the black market. But with astute judgement he pointed out some flaws in my plan....so we decided to ride on.
At the track:
Pretty soon we were at the track and in our luxuriously appointed accomodation.
George displaying unbridled glee while enjoying his $19:95 investment! (New tent):
For the first day of practice the weather was starting to warm up at The Island, perfect for enjoying the exotica (bikes and girls) and the spectacularly unhealthy food.
Two team mechanics plying their trade:
"Would you care to see my etchings?"
Off to the catering caravans for tea.
Lisa, in the background, gladly provided all of out dietary needs for the weekend.....even if they were a bit 20W/50.

A bit more track action:
The Adelaide chapter of the Paparazzi:
Clean that pit garage up a little will 'ya, son!
....kids these days, bloody irresponsible.
The sun finally set on another great day of performance biking so there was only one thing to do. Head to the food van/skid pad area, eat grease and breathe rubber...
High performance machines:
This was the only postie bike that I've ever seen hook up enough to wheelie out of control into the crowd! Laughs all round.
A better attempt from this pristine old Kwakka. This guy really gave it the berries. (Probably not the owner!):
Some creative individuals leave their mark.
Quite a likeness don't 'ya think?
Except for the hair, gut & knob.....
Got the facial likeness close 'though.

It really is a beautiful race track, Phillip Island.
Set in a natural amphitheater with good views of the track from all sides, you can even ride your bike around the outside of the track (with the racing in sight) at any time to access all the good spots.
There were thousands of bikes track-side and the amenities were generally pretty good.
So it was with some surprise that I discovered that the communal showers have clear curtains...an odd twist I thought...but one that was soon forgotten when I discovered a sizable turd on the sodden floor of my selected cubicle.
A quiet retreat to an upstream cubicle was in order.
(I'd have brought you some photos of this peculiar phenomena but carrying a camera into the mens showers does not come highly recommended...)
So race day got under way with the usual fanfare.

Also the eventual winner in a weekend plagued with some spectacular accidents:
Those Ducati boys can jump!
A great weekend's racing just about over, we headed back to the campsite to discuss the fun and sink a few ales with George as he'd be heading back to Adelaide tomorrow while Jason & I would take off in search of adventure....or vanilla slices & beer....which ever came first.

Up early the next morning, and after a tentative and somewhat cautious visit to the shower block , we said goodbye to George, finished our packing and rolled out of the track headed in no particular direction.
Jason and I had decided that we'd make this journey up as we went along, preferring to ask locals what the hot tips were and generally following our noses.
In this world where the pressures of life & work demand prior consideration, it was totally refreshing to just head off without a plan. It's this sort of travel that really gets me excited.
Before we'd left Adelaide, Sandy, my better half, had given me a beautifully written card reminding me to have a great time and be careful.
We agreed that the little guy on the left was the most like me as I usually have that same look on my face in the weeks leading up to a big trip.
Hey, why hide your emotion?
Go #1!
We headed east along the coast making our way towards the pristine Wilsons Promontory National Park, the most southerly chunk of land on the Australian mainland.
Pausing on the way at a little town called Walkerville we discovered the views across Waratah Bay to the Prom were obscured by the drifting smoke from a bush-fire on Snake Island.
The peaks of the Prom poking through the haze:
As we cruised south into the park passing beautiful beaches and rugged headlands, we were both hatching plans to come back at some point in the future to take the time to really get to know the place. No wonder it's so popular with serious bush walkers and day trippers. Absolutely stunning.
Jason on "Squeaky Beach" happy to be on tour, and totally oblivious to the fact that we were dressed slightly "different" to the other beach goers.
The view from the rocks:
We scooted further south into the park and headed up the road to Mt Oberon hoping to take in the expansive views from the top only to discover that it was still a considerable walk to the peak from the car park. Deciding that the hike was not a palatable option in riding boots & kevlar jeans on a hot day (fungal issues abound ), we decided to keep riding, which was a real blast on the roads down this way.
We left the Prom behind heading east through Yarram and up through Loy Yang past the massive coal mine and power station. This is one very large power plant, supplying one third of Victoria's electricity, consuming up to 60,000 tonnes of coal a day!
As happens, I was enjoying the riding too much to stop for piccies so if you're interested see the link:
It was a massive contrast to the beauty of the Prom, but one that society currently demands.
I don't have polarized views on the subject, as I currently work for a resource company, but at some point in the future humankind needs to move to a more sustainable approach to power generation.
How? Dunno.
But what's gonna power my bike? Dunno, but it's sure to be faster and lighter because thats just the way we are.
After a brief team meeting with Big J we decided to head to Taralgon then on to the old gold mining town of Walhalla for the night.
Unfortunately I failed to realize that Taralgon is diametrically opposed on the earth's fragile crust to the Bermuda triangle and as such exhibits some of it's disorienting properties.
In an effort to get out of here I led us through a housing estate, the town centre (twice!) and an industrial area before my traveling companion, Captain Sensible, stopped to ask a cabbie how to get the hell out of here.
Winding our way out of town (past a flight of TBM Avengers....... ), I soon put my navigational faux pas behind me as we hit the beautifully winding road up through the hills to Walhalla.
Weaving our way into the narrow valley late in the day we thought it might be an idea to hit the pub first to seek out some accommodation and a feed.
The Wally Pub:

Good fortune seems to come your way when you're in an upbeat mood and so it was when we rolled into the pub and asked about accommodation.
Mick, who we found out later is the closest thing that Walhalla has to a mining magnate & land baron, was leaning on the bar next to us and offered cheap digs for the night in an old schoolhouse that had been converted into a bunk house.
First we shoveled down a fine meal cooked expertly by Deb the publican then headed up the valley a bit to the school house for a scrub before walking back down to the pub for a few "light refreshments"
Home for the evening:
There's a heap of beds and common rooms available in this little complex and it looks like a great place to use as a base for local rides.
Walking back down to the pub the pace quickened noticeably as we got closer until we burst through the door side by side absolutely tonguing for an ale!
Much gum flapping ensued with Jason taking on part time bar duties under the watchful eye of Deb.
A couple of blokes that were working on bridge restoration in the area were there as well, Matt (red hair) & "Precious" (red cap). Their older and somewhat wiser mate shot through early when Matt suggested that it might be good fun to set his hair on fire....
Matt & Precious:
As the night progressed the cheesy 80's music got louder and louder and Deb was insistent on dancing with someone. With the rest of us being totally unco, Matt took up the challenge.
What ensued was at least a half hour solid of bladder relieving laughter as he trotted out every classic 80's dance move in a polished, choreographed frenzy! With exaggerated facial expressions included.
Matt really has talent beyond belief.
The funniest thing I've seen in a pub in a long time.
The night continued on with lots of strangely appropriate hugging of everyone in the pub, a few smashed glasses, attempts at patting the pub dog (who had the temperament of a white pointer on amphetamines), much more philosophizing and yet more hugging.
Brad & Snorkel Head behind the bar, discussing drinking tactics:
Emerging from the pub at the end of the night for the walk back up the road to the school house in the cool night air was refreshing to say the least. But strangely welcome after the mayhem of the pub!

Great post mate . I have a deposit on a 07 990 adv . I hope to pick it up soon . Are you happy with yours ? Any problems ? What pipes have you got ? Any feedback would be apreciated. Regards Drew

Love it!
Only problem so far was the result of a simple mistake during a service while on this trip. But vigilance avoided a bigger issue. See upcoming post.
Pipes are Akrapovic titanium, expensive but SWEET!
They save a lot of kilos over the back of the bike (that you can replace with useless items while on tour!)
A lot of guys go for the Wings pipes to save a bit of dough. Any difference between the two (other than cost) would be splitting hairs.
I usually run with the silencer inserts removed because I'm vain and love the sound!
But I am conscious of the racket that they make around town when you get on the gas...... I don't want to do the "LOOK AT ME!, LOOK AT ME!" thing.
Just fitted an Emig Racing triple clamp / steering stabiliser, 20mm offset.
Bought direct from the States.
Feels better on the road as it tips into corners easier and should be a vast improvement in loose sand at speed. But I haven't tested it there just yet.

I continued on through the hills following the twisting dirt road to the Tatong Tavern for lunch. I'd read that they serve great food here and I wasn't disappointed.
A welcome sight on a 42 degree day!
The tudor style pub looks a little misplaced down here on the Victorian flat lands but it's a lovely place, just the same.
Blurry pic....(the shame of it all.....)
The front bar counter (and above it) is made from one of the same timbers used to support Bruce's verandah, below.
I'd been offered an insight to a number of the pubs visited on this journey courtesy of a book called "Counter Meal". Covering a number of Australian pubs known for good food and atmosphere, I'd already indulged myself in the South Australian ones featured and had never been disappointed.
So if you're into pub culture and cooking (their signature recipes are included) have a look if you get the chance.
After shoving a delightful meal into my increasingly rissole-like face (culinary experience comes at a price) I was off to visit Bruce to carry on the conversations of last evening.
Bruce being Bruce:
He had built his substantial house out of local materials (mud brick and his own timber grown on the property) and its spacious and airy feel was impressive.
We wandered around and gabbed on at length and it was a pleasure to have been invited over and to have had an insight into his interesting life. A bloke very at ease with himself and his place in the world.
Cheers, Mate!
With hours of daylight left I decided to keep riding and charted a course via some back roads, through the now 43 deg heat (109 F) via Milawa, Myrtleford and on to Bright at the base of the winter ski fields.
I plugged the iPod in and pulled over regularly for drinks and head rinsing and before I knew it I was in the leafy little town, kicking back in a tidy motel after having had a cool shower........Heaven!
Pizza for tea, early to bed and no beer! Obviously, the heat had clouded my judgement.
How hot?
I think this tree says it all....

Ezra Pound, whose famous exhortation "Make it new" is rightly considered one of modernism's mottoes, was also urging writers to apply new energy to established forms. Alvin Langdon Coburn took this photo in 1913 and published it in his collection MORE MEN OF MARK in 1922.
Although generally called a movement, it is more valid to see modernism as an international body of literature characterized by a new self-consciousness about modernity and by radical formal experimentation. Several literary movements and styles, notably Imagism and Vorticism, were fostered within modernism, which flourished from around 1890 until 1940. There was also a period of so-called "high modernism," 1920-5.
Generally, modernists were driven by the belief that the assurances once provided by religion, politics, or society no longer sufficed. This belief intensified after World War I, when it seemed to many that history itself was coming to an end and that modern life was horrific, chaotic, and ultimately futile. Some modernists, notably T. S. Eliot, expressed a deep sense of loss and despair. However, others responded with a fresh sense of both the freedom and the responsibilities of the artist in a new age. Ezra Pound in particular envisaged the possibility of a new society to which artists would contribute meaningfully. Many modernists shared an ambitious, aspirational belief in the role and place of the artist in contemporary life, believing that art had replaced religion in providing coherence, guidance, and insight into the human condition. For some writers this meant a fresh sense of the possibilities of ancient myths, and a revaluation of the contemporary meanings of myth was typical of high modernism. Others, especially Gertrude Stein, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and
Ernest Hemingway
, were less convinced by the relevance of myth, believing that the creation of meaning and coherence was the task of the writer, performed in opposition to false and damaging external impositions of order. This overall sense of the serious responsibility of the artist helps to account for the large projects in which many modernists engaged, for instance the long poem or the epic.
The modernist period also saw a radical experimentation in literary form and expression. In part this developed in response to new insights provided by recently established disciplines such as psychology. This was certainly true of the stream-of-consciousness technique, and in many respects modernist prose narrative begins with the complex later novels of
Henry James
. Experimentation was also partly a response to the new forms of expression that were developing in painting, sculpture, and music; another of modernism's characterizing features was the intense interaction between literature and the other arts. A further reason for modernist experimentation lay in technological innovations, such as the telephone and the cinema, which were changing the forms and the very meaning of communication. New forms were needed, as was the reinvigoration of established forms. Pound's famous exhortation "Make it new" is rightly considered one of modernism's mottoes, but as well as demanding novelty he was urging writers to apply new energy to established forms. A considerable amount of Pound's earlier poetry was written in antiquated forms as part of his attempt to revitalize and update tradition. At the same time, most modernists believed that literature should challenge and unsettle readers, and much modernist work may be demanding and difficult, alluding to a wide range of learning.
American modernism was broadly of two kinds. One was cosmopolitan, and created by expatriate writers, especially Pound, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle) (1886-1961), Stein, and Eliot. Based in urban centers such as London and Paris, these writers sought to internationalize literature, often making powerful connections between their work and a broad range of past literature. Generally, they had little belief in the usefulness (or existence) of an American literary tradition. There was also a group of non-expatriate American modernists, even though several of them did spend time abroad. Stevens, Frost, Williams, Marianne Moore (1887-1972),
F. Scott Fitzgerald
William Faulkner
, and Hemingway developed a modernist literature that was connected to American traditions, and the heavy concentration on region and place in the work of Stevens, Frost, Faulkner, and Williams marked them as radically different from Pound, Stein, and Eliot. What all the modernists shared was a belief in literature's importance in the modern world, and the need for it to be continually vital.

The game start up song sounds like its from The Dark Knight
In this news post, we bring you three new music tracks and more screenshots of the second chapter of the mod. Enjoy!
Posted by the*Joker on Jan 20th, 2011
Hello everyone! Wow, we post news often, don't we? Of course you fine people have nothing against that ;) Anyhow, I'm hear to bring you more news on the mod's developement, so let's get on with!
First, we've got some amazing music tracks for you, composed by the team's lead sound designer, Adrian Lopez. We do have another sound designer, the legend Micheal Crostek, but he's been a bit busy. Anyhow, here you go!
Aren't those songs amazing? We are very serious about our music, and a lot of these tracks are subject to change. We wish to bring you amazing music instead of the old but awesome Half-Life 2 tracks.
Second, we have some screenshots of chapter 2. We have been working hard on detail, balancing out the cellblock A5 versus the Nova Prospekt Security Force, and making the chapter more interesting. Here are some screenshots of cellblock A5, please note: These maps are still in development.
We've add some light to what used to be a dark maintenance area leading to cellblock A3
More lightning in the maintenance area.
We have added headcrabs to cellblock A5, not that much of a threat to you or the Combine soldiers, but it spruces up the scene a bit.
Here, we have you battling soldiers of the Nova Prospekt Security Force.
I hope you have enjoyed those screenshots. We are working hard to improve on everything about the chapters, so stay with us for more updates.
Third, we have uploaded a wallpaper pack that is available for download for whoever wants new wallpapers. You can download it from:
We want to point out to you fine people that we now have a
That's right, a community forum. Go on down there, and take part in supporting the Half-Life 2: Retaliation community. Talk about the mod, tell us what you think, suggest something to be in the mod, we want to know! We appreciate it :D
By the way, don't forget to join the
Well, that I think thats it, guys. Please comment, track the mod, go to the YouTube channel and official website, and until next time,

Half-Life 2: Retaliation Lead Developer
The game start up song sounds like its from The Dark Knight
Indeedly so ;)
Somebody needs to hire this composer.
I am the composer :D
All the songs except for Hunted (or maybe I just don't know where Hunted is from) are obviously just copy and pastes.
Startup is from The Dark Knight
2nd one is Valve's
4th one is from the movie 'Appalosa'
Unless the leading sound designer also made the Soundtracks of said items, These are ripped and the fact that the developer(s)can say they have a talented sound designer who composed these tracks is sad.
Thats where your wrong.
The 4th was made by us, the 2nd is also ours, but with the same name. It is also the name of the chapter of the game you will hear this song, this is no way made by Valve. The startup is also from The Dark Knight, but its not like we don't have permission to use it, and everyone knows this(its such a unique track) so... You didn't get the memo.
By the way, the Song10_Lambda, that's a custom segment from a song from the HL1 soundtrack, we're allowed to use that because it is included in HL2, and we haven't taken credit for the song.
Why not just try and get a composer?
Who is the moron if you put stuff made by others in a list of "some amazing music tracks for you, composed by the team's lead sound designer"?
Composed means you have actually made the tracks, but the sounds and tracks that we use is our information. Stop bitching.
But your information consists of you claiming to have composed all the tracks when obviously, you have not. Lots of reasons to bitch, pal.
So be it. Whatever.
let me first start with saying that we are a friendly community here on Moddb, and words like "moron" i personally don't like to read here. it's doesn't serve any purpose at all to talk like that.
then, i have to agree with the others. you say at the top;
"... composed by the team's lead sound designer"
and that that person is you The Joker. But when people recognise the music parts you say that you have it from The Dark Knight and the Hl1 soundtrack that is included in HL2. so, you didn't compose it, you took it, with permission from others.
why then close you're comment with;
"...and we haven't taken credit for the song. "
when you say at the top ;
"... composed by the team's lead sound designer"
so, you, as the lead sound designer does take credit for someone else his work, or at least you tried to, but didn't succeed because people recognised the music parts.
to start then calling those people morons is a bit silly he, ...
just compose and take credit for that, or don't call yourself the lead sound designer who did compose these parts.
bit silly...
and sad to be honest.
Good argument.

A few weeks back I wrote about thickening up your site and the long tail of search, stating that the majority of most site's organic keyword traffic is actually stored up in the long tail (keyword phrases > 3 words) and it's important not to overlook that idea when targeting organic traffic – and so this week I decided to prove the concept true by looking at some real website data but taking things one step further than the traditional long tail theory.
If you were to ask an SEO professional what the long tail of search looks like, you might get something like the below chart:
the broad, competitive terms get the most traffic and the longer, less competitive phrases get less traffic per keyword but still make up a significant portion of the total keyword traffic. But is the general long tail theory really that relevant for most websites who are looking to improve their organic search traffic or is there something else that might be even more interesting and useful to consider?
and came up with the below two charts. The first website had recorded about 2,000 organic keyword searches while the second website recorded about 10,500 (over the course of a single month)
Below is the chart for the first website showing keyword phrase length vs volume. Notice the smooth looking wave, which peaks at ~500 keyword phrases of length 4 terms per phrase.
Looking at other long tail studies, I already know broad keyword terms appear to receive the most traffic. However, the really important point to note here is that we've got ~70% of total keyword traffic going to phrases 4 terms or greater, with the remainder going to one to three term phrases.
Pretty cool you say? Now take a look at the second chart below, showing the second website with about 10,500 recorded keyword phrases.
Yes, both charts are strikingly similar. I actually didn't think I'd see such a clean resemblance – two different websites, two different traffic levels, two different sets of keywords, yet we're seeing the same trend that the long tail (greater than 3 terms) makes up roughly 70% of organic keyword traffic received.
Note that the excel generated charts above depict more of a wave shape peaking at ~4 words vs what you might see from a typical "SEO" long tail chart (refer to the first image in this post).
So really, it's more accurate to say that the first one or two head term lengths a website receives doesn't really have the most volume, as the traditional long tail chart depicts – it's actually around 3-5 words per keyword phrase that make up the sweet spot in terms of highest volume per website. Of course results may vary depending on the type of website and size, but I'm betting on average you'd get close to the results I came up with.
My results shouldn't be confused with studies such as Hitwise's longtail results, which show the top search terms (not term lengths) by volume from the engines (and not keyword traffic received by a website) – no, the results in this post are depicting the distribution of keyword term length for individual websites, not keyword volume occurrence over the entire internet. It's easy to get confused since both are relevant pieces of information and both are correlated with the term "long tail".
So I've told you that long tail traffic makes up the majority of organic keyword traffic that a website will receive, on average. If that weren't important enough…
Imagine that you are searching for something specific on the web. Maybe you're trying to find a new cell phone battery or the best place to eat sushi in your local neighborhood. Would you type in one or two word phrases to find what you're looking for? As it turns out, no, you're more likely to use longer phrases to more accurately describe what it is you're really seeking out – the above data charts reinforce this concept.
And people who are specifically looking for something are more likely to convert – now that's gold! And if you're interested, Best Rank offers content writing services to compliment any/all online marketing campaigns to help tap into long tail traffic.
where "A2" is your cell containing the keyword phrase.
where "range" is something like "A2:A5000" (cells A2 through A5000) and "text" is your integer, "1" for example.
What do you find?
I find it really interesting Mike, and it certainly is true for many websites, but what you didn't mention is which verticals these two clients fall into and how aggressive they are with their efforts. I would say that if any of them lead the head with broad terms then it would be a different story because they made it to top ten and are benefiting from traffic from high search volume queries, but if they are not top of mind, then there is a notorious opportunity with keywords in the long tail for them which makes more sense for players who come late into this competition or are shy with their tactics. I'm assuming this is what you wanted to point out. Thanks for the formula!
I have similar report, but I've added secondary view that removes the website's branded keywords as they can skew the data. So if I'm working with a company called "Acme Auto Parts", the secondary view removes all attempted iterations of that branded term.
Hi Shane, both brands in this case are two letter words, so branded terms in themselves would come in at 1-2 words. A long tail phrase that also includes the brand keywords is still a long tail phrase and in this case we're seeing a peak around ~4 words per query. Interesting stuff though, I'm sure there are a lot of ways to slice the data and that the surface is just being scratched.
The two sites are in two different verticals, and since both sites are a client of ours we're at least trying to be somewhat aggressive 😉
You make an interesting point, in that if a website is right at the top of the rankings for a high traffic keyword then the keyword chart might look more skewed toward the broad end… maybe that is true, however I'm assuming that a search engine won't push a website to that point until there is enough trust: enough pages in the index, links and enough long tail queries sort of "supporting" the broad terms.
Thanks for the post! I'm glad that came across it because I found here a lot of interesting information for me. I want to add that as a search agency we see many different styles of PPC campaign design, from in-house teams, other agencies, and occasionally running across those from the search engines themselves. Broadly speaking, campaigns can fit into one of two categories: 1. Those heavy on keywords or phrases made up of low number of fairly generic terms (for the purpose of this article, referred to as "shorter keywords") 2. Those using a high number of terms ranging from generic to improbable (or "longer keywords")

The San Antonio Spurs will next play the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow night at the AT&T Center in preseason action. However, they will be without guard Patty Mills who suffered a sprained ankle and will be out of action for a couple of games.
Patty Mills will miss the next two preseason games with a sprained right ankle.
— San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) October 9, 2012
With Mills suffering the injury it will allow the many other guards on the roster time on the court. Players such as Cory Joseph, and Nando De Colo should see more time and show the coaching staff what they can do.
Though one has to be wary if these types of injuries will spring up throughout the season from Spurs players who were at the Olympic Games this summer. Mills, along with Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, De Colo, and Tiago Splitter (who has not seen any preseason action due to injury) logged some heavy minutes in London. Add that to a long run in last season's playoff and it could prove to be something to keep an eye on.

John Steinbeck, born in Salinas, California, in 1902, grew up in a fertile agricultural valley, about twenty-five miles from the Pacific Coast. Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929).
After marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in The Long Valley (1938). Popular success and financial security came only with Tortilla Flat (1935), stories about Monterey's paisanos. A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly. Three powerful novels of the late 1930s focused on the California laboring class: In Dubious Battle (1936), Of Mice and Men (1937), and the book considered by many his finest, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). The Grapes of Wrath won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1939.
Early in the 1940s, Steinbeck became a filmmaker with The Forgotten Village (1941) and a serious student of marine biology with Sea of Cortez (1941). He devoted his services to the war, writing Bombs Away (1942) and the controversial play-novelette The Moon is Down (1942). Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1948), another experimental drama, Burning Bright (1950), and The Log from the Sea of Cortez (1951) preceded publication of the monumental East of Eden (1952), an ambitious saga of the Salinas Valley and his own family's history.
The last decades of his life were spent in New York City and Sag Harbor with his third wife, with whom he traveled widely. Later books include Sweet Thursday (1954), The Short Reign of Pippin IV: A Fabrication (1957), Once There Was a War (1958), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), Travels with Charley in Search of America (1962), America and Americans (1966), and the posthumously published Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters (1969), Viva Zapata! (1975), The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights (1976), and Working Days: The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath (1989).
Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, and, in 1964, he was presented with the United States Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Steinbeck died in New York in 1968. Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures.
Robert DeMott, editor, is the Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor at Ohio State University and author of Steinbeck's Typewriter, an award-winning book of critical essays.

Thread: Anemos Dream Night Sky

Anemos Dream Night Sky
This work is one of my better nudes. This is a 69"x41" oil painting. The black and white was done using drybrush and oil. The graffiti was done by a "street" artist named SKITZO, he did the graffiti using oil pastel, liquin, turpentine, and oil paints. The biggest criticism i get from this piece is the contrast between the Nude and the Wall comes off as out of place, or unfinished. What can I do to finish it?
Heres my website.

I can't say what you can do to finish it - I'm inexperienced at oil painting. However, there is definitely something not quite right with the right arm. The shoulder seems unusually placed, and the elbow and the lighting on it make it seem sort of backwards. It's also difficult to determine just how long it is. Also, is she standing in water? If so, the bit of the toga/drape/cloth that's floating on it should be darker in color in spots.
Otherwise, great piece! I love the mood.

Thank you for the advice. She's sinking into concrete as if it were water. Im going to add more shadows to the wall, and the floor, lighten up the elbow.
December 30th, 2012 #6
Wait a minute! is that dark spot on her arm her elbow or her arm crease? Because if it is supposed to be her elbow that arm is even worse than I thought.

I like the idea of shadow being added. There is a problem with the elbow area, I did not mean for it to come off as an elbow, its just a bit too dark. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

The figurative aspects of the nude, form and muscle groups are almost perfect. The elbow "area" is not intended to be an elbow, use your eyes please. Here's the original photograph.

Fire over your questions to me at
email@example.com. I might not be able to answer them
all, but I promise they're all read. Any e-mails sent to this
address may be published or edited unless requested otherwise.
(Please put ASK CFN in the subject line, and PLEASE keep the
questions short ... it makes my life easier.)
Geez, can you
ever write an article when you don't rip on Florida? You must live in
Columbus or something cause you just can't seem to handle that we're
winning at EVERYTHING. We were dominant last year in the national
championship and made all you Buckeye lovers foolish when we showed too
much SEC speed and talent. You must have been one of those Big Ten
lovers who wanted a Michigan – OSU rematch. Get over it and accept
how much we dominate! Your pathetic. -
A: We? I must have missed it. Were you the one wearing No. 12 or the one
blanketing Anthony Gonzalez?
First of all, I was adamantly against a Michigan – Ohio State rematch to
the point of getting e-mail bombed by Wolverine fans (still to this day)
about a supposed bias against the Maize and Blue (of course, I also
would've been against a rematch if Michigan had beaten OSU). Secondly,
while I picked OSU to beat Florida, I was in the rare
minority of those who said the Gator defense was going to shut down Troy
Smith and the Buckeye attack. I thought it was going to be a defensive
slugfest with OSU pulling it out because of a better kicking game, but I
gave full credit to that Florida D from the start. Finally, let's not
rewrite history here.
Yeah, Florida whupped up on the Buckeyes, but it's incredibly
conveeeeeeeeenient how many Gator fans completely forgot just how much
of a struggle it was just to get to 11-1 before taking things to
another level in the SEC and BCS title games. There was the close call
against a very good, but not elite, Tennessee, there was the loss to a
very good, but not elite, Auburn, Vanderbilt almost pulled off the
upset, a mediocre Florida State team gave a push, and had South
Carolina's special teams been able to block Jarvis Moss, Ol' Ball Coach
would've won two in a row against his alma mater. Don't get me wrong,
Florida was absolutely worthy of playing for, and winning, the national
title, but there was a reason why it took a loss from USC to get in. By
the way, replace the Florida with Ohio State in the first sentence of
your question and that's what I had to deal with over and over again
last season.
Ok, we've gone over the scenario of college football and basketball
against the pros but what about baseball? I believe the NCAA baseball
champs or maybe an All Star team could win several games against the
worst team in MLB. - WP, New Orleans
A: Several games if the MLB team is trying, no. A few here and there,
yes. It's all about the pitching. The college baseball lineup can eke
out four hits and two runs and get a brilliant pitching day to pull off
an upset in a one game shot, but no way could it win a seven game
series. The key to all these scenarios is want-to. If the star college
team is playing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in a one-game mid-August
exhibition, it would have a
chance. If there was some major incentive for the winner, the college
team would get destroyed. Always remember in these scenarios, even the
best college teams would have no more than a few future pros going against a
team of pros.
For my variation of a question you probably get 20 times a day: How
does Michigan finally turn the corner? I know you'll want to quote
stats showing how the maize and blue faithful shouldn't be disappointed,
but, come on, it's pretty much national consensus that this team is
consistently underachieving. – Matt
A: (Heavy sigh) "Consistently underachieving?!" Turn what corner? Your
Wolverines went 11-0, played the number one team in the nation almost
dead-even on its turf, and would've gotten a rematch had Arkansas won
the SEC title or if Florida looked lousy in the win over the Hogs.
Forgetting how things turned out after the Rose Bowl, Michigan was
this close to playing for the national title, and it underachieved?
116 teams, USC and LSU included, would've killed to have been in that
With that said, you are right in a way and I'll quote stats to prove it.
Since winning the 1997 national title, Michigan has gone 3-6 against
Ohio State. Quick, name the three biggest wins over a non-Buckeye team
since the national title? I'll help you out: 1) The 35-34 2000 classic
Orange Bowl win over Alabama, 2) the 2005 27-25 last-second win over a
Penn State team that finished 11-1 with an Orange Bowl win, and 3) the
1998 27-10 win over a Wisconsin team that went 11-1 and won the Rose
Bowl. Good wins all, and the Wolverine got another win over a great
Badger team in 1999 and gave out the only regular season loss to
Illinois in 2001. Where are the Rose Bowl wins? Where are the big bowl
victories? Where are the signature key wins that prove the program
deserves to call itself the leader and best?
To actually get to the national title game, Michigan needs luck;
every top team, for the most part, does. There's an old adage that college basketball coaches like
to use that applies here. Keep cranking out great team after great team
and get into a position to be in the national title hunt,
and eventually it'll be your turn.
What is the one position (besides
kicker/punter) that a team would be most likely to get an immediate
impact through recruiting in a BCS conference? What position in easiest
to transition from high school to college? Is it the same? –Garett
A: Whoever's the NFL caliber player. It's different in the pros where,
according to theory, it's easiest to go outside in. Wide receivers and
corners can step in and play right away, quarterbacks and middle
linebackers tend to need longer. Once again, in theory. Since there's such a greater
talent disparity
in college, you can have a guy who'll make $2 million a year in
the NFL playing next to a guy who'll be making shakes at Sonic, so the
true star always stands out. In general, a freshman running back can
likely make the biggest impact as long as he's not required to be a key
blocker, but once again, anyone at any position can rock right away if
he's a next-level talent.
Just wondering why you think Notre Dame belongs in the Big Ten? –
A: Geography and history. South Bend might as well be a way-south suburb of Chicago.
There are also the natural ties considering the yearly battles with Michigan,
Michigan State and Purdue to ease the program into the misnamed
conference. It just makes sense.
After seeing Utah's schedule I have a few
questions. 1) Will Utah have to go 12-0 to get an at large BCS bid, 2)
Should Utah have to go 12-0 to get an at large BCS bid. 3) How would
Notre Dame do with Utah's schedule and would it be good enough to get
them an at large BCS bid and finally 4) How many teams do you think
would have a legitimate chance of going 12-0 with Utah's schedule?
– Alex
A: Utah's schedule: at Oregon State, Air Force, UCLA, at UNLV, Utah
State, at Louisville, San Diego State, at TCU, at Colorado State,
Wyoming, New Mexico, at BYU. To answer your questions: 1) Maybe not. If
everything breaks the right way and if the Utes beat the big boys like
UCLA, Louisville and TCU, and gets tripped up in a close loss at
Colorado State, that might still be good enough. Or if they go 11-1 with
a tight loss at Louisville, who would then go on to win the Big East,
might get it done. 2) No, but it might get in like Boise State
did last year and finish high enough to get an automatic bid even if it
11-1. 3) I think the Irish will stink this year, so I'd say they'd go
8-4, 7-5 at worst. The top-to-bottom schedule's not that nasty. 4) Not many.
The road trip to Louisville alone would be a killer, playing at TCU will
also be nasty, and UCLA is going to be one of the 10-15 best teams.
Maybe the top five teams can go unbeaten with this slate, but most of
the elite would go 11-1.
What does Boise State have to do to get national respect for
the off-season. It seems like every year, with the exception of the 05
campaign they do great they get ranked in the top 5 or top 25 at least
but then the football brains talk about BYU, Utah, and TCU. Why not BSU
being the mid-major to beat again? – Chris
A: Losing the starting quarterback and several key defenders would be
the main reason this year. Look, Boise State can play, but it'll have to beat
Washington in Seattle to kickoff the national love again. Even with all
the team's holes to fill, it'll likely go 10-1 at worst (the
schedule isn't bad) before going to
Hawaii to close things out. This might not be one of the 25 best teams
to start the season, but it'll end up being ranked there on record
What would you say a better non-conference schedule would be; one
game against a top team and the rest chumps, or playing two or
three good solid teams but no one real special? I'm asking this
wondering which one would be better for the BCS. – Paul
A: Always the interesting theoretical question. It depends on the team. If it's a BCS caliber program, the better schedule, at least for the fans, would
be against one great team and a bunch of chumps. That'll be the better
indicator of how good it is when trying to put together the whole
puzzle. If you're a mid-range team shooting for a BCS spot, it's
probably better to play the solid teams as long as there's not a truly
bad game to worry about. In general, I always want to see the killer
teams play big games, even if that means a few dogs to deal with.
Why are some teams over-rated year in and year out (Notre Dame, for
example), while other teams are under-rated year in and year out (GA
Tech, for example). The ratings that I am referring to are both the
media voters and the coach voters. Let's take Notre Dame for an
example: every year, the "voters" vote Notre Dame as one of the top
teams, usually in the top 10; but more often than not they drop
throughout the season in the polls. Why do the voters do this to
teams? Is it really that hard to remove emotion and to vote on reality?
A: The pollsters go with what they know. They know Notre Dame, they
don't know the ins and outs of, say, Oregon State or Maryland. You're
also assuming the voters know the reality. Since most don't watch enough
college football to have an informed opinion on all the teams (I
guarantee you the Fiesta Bowl was the first time roughly 75% of the
pollsters had actually watched Boise State play), they go with the flash
and the big names. I always get punchy around pollsters and ask them to
name the starting quarterback for teams like (for this year) Georgia
Tech or Wisconsin. If you can't name the quarterback for a top ten team,
how are you going to know if TCU is any good or not?
What if the WAC and Mountain West combined to form "super conference"
for BCS purposes only. Each league would remain as it is today, but at
the end of the season, the champs of each league would play each other
in a championship game. Good enough to earn a BCS auto-bid for the
winner, or just another chance to knock a good mid-major out of the
running? – Ed
A: The Mountain West would get the raw end of that stick. Stick perennial
Mountain West also-ran Wyoming in the WAC and it probably finishes in the top three or
four every year. Instead, I'd take the 18 teams combined in the two
leagues, throw out six, and create a super-conference worthy of an
automatic BCS bid. Imagine this for a 12-team league leaving out Air
Force, Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, and Utah
NORTH: Boise State, BYU, Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah, Wyoming
SOUTH: Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV

of Engineers Regulatory Program (33 CFR 320–330) or other official policy guidance contained in Memoranda of Agreement (MOA), Regulatory Guidance Letters (RGLs), etc. Part I simply highlights critical policies and procedures that are major factors in administering a consistent program nationwide. These critical policies and procedures, however, are those that the Major Subordinate Commands and CECW-OR will evaluate in our future consistency reviews. In addition, consistency with Part I will be a factor in responding to districts' requests for additional resources.
- Corps determines scope
- 33 CFR 325 Appendix B,C
Scope of analysis has two distinct elements, determining the Corps Federal action area and how the Corps will evaluate indirect, or secondary, adverse environmental effects. The Corps determines its action area under 33 CFR 325 Appendix B and C. Generally, the action area includes all waters of the United States, as well as any additional area of non-waters where the Corps determines there is adequate Federal control and responsibility to include it in the action area. The action area always includes upland areas in the immediate vicinity of the waters of the United States where the regulated activity occurs. For example, the action areas for a road access to uplands for a residential development is the road crossing of waters of the United States and the upland area in the immediate vicinity of the road crossing. In a similar case where there is not only the road crossing, but also considerable additional impacts to waters within the residential development (interior road crossings, house fills, stormwater control berms/dams, etc.), then the Corps action area is the whole residential development. The Corps analyzes all adverse environmental effects within the action area. In addition, the Corps is responsible for analyzing the direct and indirect impacts of its permit decisions, within the action area once the scope of analysis (which defines the corresponding action area) is properly determined. Direct impacts are those that happen in direct response to the permitted activity (e.g., the direct impact of dam construction is the loss of habitat in the dam footprint). Indirect impacts, on the other hand, are those removed in time and/or distance in relation to the permitted activity (e.g., the indirect impact of dam construction is the inundation of the area behind the dam). Another example would be habitat and/or fisheries impacts downstream of the dam associated with hydroperiod changes. Both direct and indirect impacts must be evaluated within site-specific and cumulative impact contexts. It is appropriate for the Corps to evaluate these impacts and render final permit and

Skinnygirl's scary sailing nightmare!
Bethenny Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy nearly became real-life castaways this past weekend on a sailing trip gone horribly awry -- when the twosome were lost at sea for 20 terrifying hours.
"I was on a sailboat on Saturday that was supposed to be eight hours and it ended up being 20 because were lost at sea," the reality star and cookbook author, 40, told "E! News."

The captain of the vessel called the Coast Guard after the ship was hit by a "big wave," she explained. "It was very scary. Absolutely traumatic."
Bound for Nantucket, MA from Block Island, the boat's GPS malfunctioned, leaving the 10 passengers (including a Bravo TV crew) panic-stricken.

"We were in the middle of the deep sea with no land or anybody near us," she said. "The captain had never, in 30 years, called the Coast Guard."
During the ordeal, Frankel couldn't help but think of Bryn, her 15-month-old daughter with Hoppy.

Says Frankel: "I was thinking, Oh, my God, Bryn! I'm not going to be there at six o'clock in the morning when she wakes up and she's going to wonder where Mommy is and gosh, if something were to happen to me, what would happen to her. I was having horrendous thoughts."

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Omnicare After CEO Resignation
JP Morgan has published a research report on Omincare (NYSE: OCR) commenting on today's announced management change.
In the report, JP Morgan writes, "This morning, Omnicare announced that the Board accepted John Figueroa's resignation as CEO and director. On the conference call, the company pointed to personal reasons as the driver behind Mr. Figueroa's decision to resign. While we were surprised by today's announcement, we view today's weakness as a buying opportunity. Importantly, the company indicated that the previously issued FY12 guidance remains unaffected. Further, we note that John Workman and Nitin Sahney, both of whom have been instrumental in crafting and executing the ongoing turnaround and strategy, are taking on larger roles within the company, which we view positively. As we've noted in the past, we believe the company remains well positioned to capitalize on strong industry fundamentals and realize incremental benefits from the turnaround."
JP Morgan maintains its Overweight rating on Omnicare, which is currently trading down $2.48 from Friday's $33.36 closing price.

A native of Chicagoland, I have lived and worked on the North Shore for over thirty years and am extremely knowledgeable about our unique cluster of villages. Besides helping buyers and sellers in the New Trier Community, my range includes Evanston, Glenview, Northbrook, Highland Park, and Lake Forest. While each town has its own special flavor and personality, residents of these communities share amenities, recreational facilities and business opportunities. I find this more expansive suburban lifestyle to be a huge draw to our area, and enjoy introducing out-of-towners to all that the Greater North Shore has to offer.
While raising my three children in Winnetka, I have been an active participant in local community organizations, serving as an elementary school PTA president and as a board member of the New Trier Booster Club, the New Trier Education Foundation, and the Auxiliary of the Evanston/Glenbrook Hospitals.
My past professional experience in teaching, sales, marketing, public relations and publishing have helped me develop the skills necessary for a successful career in real estate.
I enjoy helping buyers assess their needs and carefully evaluate properties under consideration. Connecting people with a home that will become a backdrop for creating treasured memories is one of the most satisfying aspects of my job. Equally rewarding is assisting homeowners in all facets of the selling process when they are ready to enter a new phase of their lives. From the moment they decide to list their home, to the final signatures at the closing table, I believe in maintaining close communication with sellers and keeping them updated with all pertinent market information as it evolves.
By conducting every transaction with the utmost professionalism, I have earned the respect of other real estate agents, which has enabled my clients to experience a smooth buying or selling process.
I am experienced in handling a wide variety of real estate transactions, and tackle every sale with genuine enthusiasm--from the smallest condo to a multi-million dollar home. From lakefront, to family neighborhood, to in-town pied-a-terre, I'm cheerfully ready to assist my clients.
Real estate transactions represent important transitions in life. Some are accompanied by the exuberance of realizing a dream, while others mark difficult milestones. I am committed to helping all of my clients navigate these transitions with the understanding, sensitivity and humor that will ensure the most positive experience possible. I welcome the opportunity to share in your next real estate chapter!
I would use Dayle again, ten times over. She was exceptionally professional to work with in all aspects of selling my home.

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.
I just graduated law school this past December from IU-Indy. I am studying for taking the bar in February, and I cannot wait for that to be done. I am planning to stay in Indianapolis and find a job as I am taking the Indiana bar. I would like to get into criminal law or environmental, but at this point I am not picky. I graduated from Purdue in 2009 with a degree in psychology and a double minor in political science and history. My family and friends are very important to me. I try to go home a couple times a year to see my family. I am the oldest of four and my two younger siblings aren't old enough to visit me so I have to go to them. I currently live in the broad ripple area and I love it. It is so culturally diverse. I have a dog named Dougie. He is a 3 year old peekapoo. I love hanging out with my friends. I love watching football, I have also grown to like basketball. I've seen the Pacers play a few times in the past few years. I want to be able to travel when I graduate from law school. I've traveled a little bit while I was in college and I had a blast. I would like to find someone who would love travel as much as I do. I want to do a lot of domestic traveling, but also some international. I want to go to New York, Vegas, Los Angeles, and DC within the next few years. I would love to go to Italy and maybe Greece.

the information on the Momentum program, points allowed, how to account for activity points (which I believe has been changed) and the new info on "filling foods" (which I'm guessing/hoping is low GI foods -helpful for me and my pcos turmoil!). Am I just missing it in one of the books or is there a specific booklet that I am missing?
I'd appreciate the help. I'm so disappointed because I've been anxiously awaiting the materials.

Fun loving, energetic, athletic gal!
I'm a tax consultant and fitness enthusiast. In my free time I love doing anything active, although curling up on the couch and watching a movie is also way up there on my list of favorites. Truth be told, I'm a bit of an introvert. As an only child, I have always been quite independent. I have a mind of my own and am often called stubborn. With that being said, I am fiercely loyal to those I hold dear and will bend over backwards for them. I recently relocated to the DC area from Boston. The move was work motivated. My ideal match, if there is such a thing, is someone who enjoys outdoor activities but also knows when it is time to just sit and do nothing. Someone independent with his own life, but ready to share it with someone else. I enjoy waking up early on a Saturday morning and heading to the track for a good workout or, if it is raining/the winter, then I'll head to the gym. The best thing to do after an early Saturday morning workout is to meet friends for breakfast. Hiking is another favorite of mine. I am also a huge music fan and went to something like 6 concerts in 2014. My taste is pretty eclectic and the shows I saw included: JT, GaGa, NIN (my absolute favorite) and Soundgarden, Beyonce and Jay Z, and Linkin Park and 30 Seconds to Mars. I also enjoy going to the movies, sitting and having coffee, or any other social endeavor; but I rarely drink (although no judgment here if you do. Most of my friends enjoye a beverage or three when we go out). I enjoy good people and good conversation as well as any good fun athletic activity. I get to the gym, or get in some other form of exercise (yoga, sprinting, hiking) 6ish day's/week and would love to meet someone who enjoys the same.

I love taking vacations where I can play outside, hiking, clmibing, sprinting.....you name it. And anywhere I can get a great cup of coffee will make my day!
I love doing anything active! In my free time you will find me in the gym, outside running, taking a yoga class or hanging out with friends.
Honestly, I am not a huge reader of fiction. As a tax attorney, I spend a lot of time reading at work. When I am home and/or in my free time, I read a lot about health and fitness.

The special physiology of the Shih Tzu, such as its flowing coat and sensitive skin make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition.
Healthy, Shiny, Long Coat
Your Shih Tzu has a beautiful coat that needs tender loving care. The laving (flowing) coat being one of the main characteristics of the breed. The hair is long and dense, with a thick undercoat.
Shih Tzu adult dry dog food helps to express the coat's natural beauty through a supply of L-cystine and methionine, amino acids essential for renewing the hair, combined with linoleic acid to promote a glossy coat.
Sensitive Skin Condition
Your Shih Tzu may have especially sensitive skin. This sensitivity is explained by the sometimes excessive reaction of the immune system to the presence of allergens such as dust mites and pollen in the environment.
Shih Tzu adult dry dog food helps the skin defend itself from outside attacks by means of a synergistic complex, rich in B vitamins, that effectively strengthens the skin's protective barrier and by the inclusion of essential fatty acids to calm epidermal inflammation.
Anti-Aging System
Your Shih Tzu is also known for its longevity. In the last third of its life, your dog may be at risk for kidney, heart and joint diseases and also of problems with the eye lens and retina.
Shih Tzu adult dry dog food helps slow the progress of degenerative diseases by incorporating a synergistic cocktail of antioxidants to slow cell degeneration, and limited levels of phosphorus. A supply of hydrolyzed crustacean and cartilage extracts help protect the cartilage in the joints.
For Optimal Dental Hygiene
Tartar reduction helps maintain correct bucco-dental hygiene. Shih Tzu kibbles have a specially designed texture that produces a brushing effect which results in the reduction of dental plaque formation. Shih Tzu also includes chelating agents that slow tartar development by fixing the calcium present in the saliva.
When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100&337; of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.
For adult Shih Tzu, food may be served right from the bag or moistened with warm water, if desired. For puppies, we recommend MINI Babydog 30 up to 8 weeks of age and then MINI Puppy 33 up to 10 months of age and thereafter MINI Shih Tzu 24 for life. Always remember to provide your pet with clean, fresh water at all times. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, temperament, activity level and environment.

"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"The invitation came out great. On the backside of the invite, I chose the red/maroon color with hotel accommodations listed. In the picture the red/maroon did not look like it matched the blossoms on the front too well. When I received it, the colors matched perfectly!! i have had so many comments about how simple, but beautiful the invite is!"
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I am ecstatic about the whole transaction of my wedding invitation and RSVP card. Once I submitted my customized text, someone actually CARED . . . edited it for perfection. Getting married in 2015 is easier (and somewhat under more of my control) than it was in 1994. :-)"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."

Shailene Woodley stopped by MTV After Hours this week to teach Josh Horowitz the art of "Hugging 101." With the help of "The Fault in Our Stars" co-star, Ansel Elgort, she reveals her top five tips on how to give the perfect hug. Spoiler alert, never use your legs! Check out the appearance below.
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, starring Shailene Woodley, hits theaters on June 6, 2014.
