Does the game translate well and is it worth your hard earned cash? we aim to find out today. Our hero is a little confused as one minute he will be complaining about the unfortunate horrors of war and the next he will be screaming like a berserker on the hunt for blood. While there are many reasons for split personality characters having to deal with the horrors of war I am not sure the whole experience gels well in the context of this game. It certainly is a new concept in controlling a guy clearly on the edge of a mental breakdown, but i found it hard relating to, or understanding some of his actions in the game. Essay Writing On Water This would be forgivable if the combat was better, however the collision is sadly lacking and when using the knife, even when you apparently connect with an object it appears you are just wildly swinging it into the air. The grenades are also tied into a weird coding issue, in that sometimes they don't explode on contact. The other weapons such as the machine gun, pistol and shotgun all work reasonably well, however the sights on screen seem to be rather hit and miss and I ended up turning them off to improve my accuracy. You can also only carry one weapon and one special weapon at the same time which means you need to make adjustments to your inventory on a regular basis. http://www.techs2life.com/?custom-essays-usa Custom Essays Usa All in all there are only seven levels and the whole game is relatively easy to complete in 6 to 7 hours. After you complete a level it is possible to replay it by the menu system, although the thought of replaying some of these levels is akin to torture. The problem is that the objectives never seem to mean anything and there is never a high sense of immersion to make you want to come back for more. The level designs are really quite poor especially when compared to the better first person shooters released in the last year. Some key objectives are easily missed as you are able to walk past them into the environment without ever realising you had to destroy them. College Essay Background Story Graphically the engine is pretty decent and some of the detail is good on the trees and environmental objects. The jungles are impressive with rich vegetation and foliage and the tunnels have some detailed texture work on the walls. Unfortunately more important objects such as player and weapon models lack attention to detail which is very noticeable. The sound in the game is also unimpressive with some shoddy voice work and ambient noises which lack effort and implementation by the designers.

Home :: Becoming a Travel Writer :: Travel Writing Jobs (This page contains affiliate links)
Many travelers consider this at some point... Should I become a travel writer? A travel blogger? I'm already traveling... I'm not a bad writer... Maybe...
If you've ever had these thoughts but haven't acted on them, you might be curious about what it takes to find a travel writing job or to make a living as a travel writer. Please read on!
Being comfortable with a keyboard is just a start. Then the hard work begins.
Once upon a time there were things called travel writing jobs: you actually got hired to travel and write about it. They've become extremely scarce and unless you are particularly well connected (like the owner is your aunt or similar bit of good fortune), your chances of landing one are as good as being picked to fly to the moon.
Don't be too disheartened though: an actual job isn't the only way to write and get paid for it.
There are other pathways to travel writing as a career. Here are just a few examples...
And there are many others.
I'm going to focus on freelance writing, which I've done for years and know a little bit about.
We all have our own approaches, but this is a rough road map that you might follow.
If you're a beginner, take a writing course
If you're already a writer or your skills are strong, you're ahead of the game. But if writing is still a distant hope or you are less than confident about your writing, you may need a bit of training.
Several good courses are on the market (see the resources section below), and each takes a different approach to travel writing for money. If you'd like something less structured, I've also provided plenty of free resources you can browse to improve your writing.
Choose your publication and check the writers' guidelines
You'll need to decide who you want to write for. Once you've decided, you'll need to see whether they want you. Each publication is different and has its own style and needs. It usually lists these in their writers' guidelines. Sometimes these guidelines are posted on a publication's own website; sometimes you have to Search online. The easiest way to find them is to buy a list. The two most complete are the Writer's Market (more US-oriented), which comes in both hardcover book and online versions, and Willings Press Guide or the Artists and Writers Yearbook (more UK-based).
The guidelines usually contain everything you need to know: length of an article, whether photos are required, whether 'new' writers are accepted, what stories are needed, how much they pay - and anything else the publication thinks is important.
Prepare your pitch
Armed with the guidelines of your preferred publication, you'll have to pitch. Plainly put, all travel writing jobs, especially freelance ones, contain a healthy dose of marketing: you'll have to 'sell' the publication on the fact that this is a story idea they must commission immediately, and that you're the best person in the world to write it.
What you pitch in your query letter will to a large extent determine the answer you get. Just telling an editor you're going to Tibet or Timbuktu will elicit about as much excitement as watching broccoli boil. Editors have more than enough copy - much of it poorly written - so what they need is something different. What is your angle? What is special about your story? How specific and unique is it?
And now you wait
After sending in your pitch, you begin the waiting game. It can take weeks and even months to get a reply, believe it or not, and in the trade it's poor form to submit the same story idea to different publications.
My best advice - learn to diversify. While you're waiting for an editor to get back to you about a story pitch, move on to the next editor, with a new pitch. By the time you reach the end of your list, it will probably be time to follow up with the first editor, and then the second...
Until someone says yes!
Start writing for publication
Don't expect your first article, however brilliant your friends tell you it is, to end up in National Geographic or Travel + Leisure. You'll probably need to start with small markets, either low-paying or free (There are many debates out there about whether you should write for free, even as a beginner. I say Yes, but many people disagree.) Writing for the web is good, but print is better when it comes to earning recognition as a travel writer. These days, however, some websites are becoming as prestigious as printed media.
So by all means, practice with websites and collect writing samples, but graduate quickly to print markets, even those that pay abysmally (or not at all). Getting a few clippings under your belt will do wonders for your reputation and build your experience. Until the balance tips, it is still more prestigious to wave around a clipping from a newspaper or magazine than from a web-only publication. I suspect this will change.
Eventually, armed with clippings in hand as a published travel writer, you can approach larger and more prestigious publications.
You'll have plenty of competition - the publisher's niece who wants to travel for free, the well-known rock star who dabbles in writing, the news reporter who wants to try her hand at travel, and absolutely everyone else who loves to travel and wants to make enough money to continue doing so.
Just remember, the smaller and more specialized the magazine, the better your chances of breaking in.
1. Do your research beforehand
Research skills are essential, both for your pitch, and once you've been handed an assignment. It's all very well to hit the ground running once you're assigned a story, but I find having a wider picture, a sense of place, is important before I go anywhere. The more you know beforehand, the better the questions you'll ask and the understanding you'll bring to a situation.
2. Write everything down.
Keep a travel journal, and start even before you travel. You don't know what you'll need later. Once you're on the road, include thoughts, smells, sounds, descriptions, emotions, costs... anything and everything that strikes you and that can provide detail. Don't forget people's names and titles. The times I haven't done this, I've regretted it.
3. Plan your article before you write it.
Sitting down and waiting for inspiration to strike is something best left to amateur novelists. Be systematic. Outline your beginning, your middle and your end - and everything in-between. You'll find the more time you spend on the outline, the less time you'll need to spend on the story. I learned this the hard way. Remember, we're talking about a travel writing job, something someone is paying you to write - not a blog post, where you can let your imagine run wild and your feelings and impressions take over.
4. Know your audience.
Make sure you pitch the kind of story that will actually fit in a publication. It you're pitching a magazine aimed at upper income spa-lovers, you won't get far with an article on choosing the best backpack. Nor will the editor - whom you really want to please - think you're very professional.
5. Put people in your story.
There's nothing more boring than a long litany of facts. Interview people and use what they say give your piece more punch. Anticipate this in your pitch - tell an editor who you plan to interview. You may not know a person's name yet, but you can guess you'll be talking to a tour guide, a repeat visitor or the head of the tourist office.
6. Get it right.
Be certain of your story. If you're quoting someone, use their exact words, in context. Double-check any facts or figures. If you get a simple number wrong, there's no reason for the editor to trust the rest of your story.
7. Take photographs.
You may earn more money if you supply high-quality photographs. Or not. But your chances of convincing an editor to publish you will usually be better if you provide images. Read the various writers' guidelines to see what editors want.
8. Go the extra mile.
Your first draft won't be your best draft, and your first shot will not be your best shot. Read your piece out loud, and rewrite what sounds long, unclear, convoluted, pretentious. Remove extra words. Pare down. Prune. The same with your photographs. Edit them ruthlessly. An editor will expect nothing less than perfection.
9. Recycle and rewrite.
You shouldn't submit the same travel article to two publications - unless their markets are so different there is no chance they'll overlap, ever. (I never submit simultaneously, no matter what). What you can do is rewrite: change your angle from singles to families, from winter to summer travel, from a whole city to a small neighbourhood.
10. Grow a thick skin.
The process of submitting and writing a travel article means you will get rejected, more often than you can imagine. But if one editor rejects a query, send it on to the next one, and the next one. At some point your supply and the market's demand will meet. Be stubborn and tenacious. And remember - the more articles you sell, the more you practice, the better-known you'll become, and the easier it will be to sell the next one.
11. And finally - travel!
Travel, and travel some more. Sitting in that cozy café in Paris for a month acting like a starving writer will keep you just that - starving. Grab your travel journal, buy that ticket and hit the road!

Why Do We Have Leap Years? July 12 2008
February 29th occurs only once every four years - "leap" years - but how and why did this practice develop?
Throughout history, cultures around the world have observed a relationship between celestial events and the cycle of life.
This relationship is most notable in terms of seasons.
Each spring, for example, the sun passes over the equator and climbs into the northern hemisphere, and around this same time:
- Plants begin to grow and pollinate
- Migrating animals return to their summer homes
- The mating season of many animals begins
After observing this relationship, ancient cultures learned to use the sun's position along with cycles of the moon for agriculture (i.e. when to plant, when to harvest, etc.). Over time, calendars were developed to allow for the prediction of seasons, and celestial events were used for alignment.
Traditionally, time has been measured in relation to two major events: the rotation of the earth on its axis, and the orbit of the earth around the sun:
- 1 rotation of the earth on its axis is called a "day"
- 1 orbit around the sun is called a "year"
In technical writing and conversation, however, these measurements are commonly referred to as "solar days" and "solar years," because the length of time it takes the earth to spin on its axis is actually slowing over time and the length of time it takes the earth to orbit the sun is not an exact number of days (it cannot be evenly divided into 24-hour blocks).
Historically, cultures have accounted for this discrepancy in varying ways. One of the most complicated methods is used in the Chinese calendar, which follows an intricate set of rules that add in leap months to maintain the position of the Chinese New Year and the winter solstice.
The "Gregorian" calendar, today's most widely used calendar, measures a common year (or non-leap year) as exactly 365 days. However, the earth actually takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45.36 seconds to complete one orbit around the sun, or roughly 365¼ days. By adding an extra day every 4 years this calendar is able to more accurately maintain alignment with the earth's orbit (For a complete description of the leap-year rules see below).
Interestingly, because the celestial events on which all known calendars depend are not constant and cannot be reliably predicted in the long term , in order to remain accurate over vast amounts of time, any calendar will have to be regularly adjusted to account for celestial changes.
Gregorian Leap Years
The complete rule for leap years in the Gregorian calendar states that a year will contain 366 days if:
- it is divisible by 4
- and it is not divisible by 100
- or is also divisible by 400
- Both 1896 and 1904 are leap years because they are divisible by 4
- Because 1900 is divisible by 4 and 100 but not by 400, it is not a leap year
- Because 2000 is divisible by 4, 100, and 400, it is a leap year
The rule of adding an extra day every 4th year would by itself be accurate if the solar year was exactly 365.25 days long, but because it is closer to 365.24 days the more complex rule is used to increase accuracy over time.
Today, there are two major methodologies used to determine the start and end of the seasons: Astronomical and Meteorological.
In this methodology, the start and end dates of the 4 seasons are marked by the equinoxes (the days during which the center of the sun is directly above the earth's equator) and solstices (the days during which the sun has reached either is most northern or most southern point).
In the northern hemisphere,
* Spring begins with the March equinox (20 March)
* Summer begins with the June solstice (20 June)
* Fall begins with the September equinox (22 September)
* and Winter begins with the December solstice (21 December)
In the southern hemisphere,
- Fall begins with the March equinox (20 March)
- Winter begins with the June solstice (20 June)
- Spring begins with the September equinox (22 September)
- and Summer begins with the December solstice (21 December)
Using this methodology, the seasons divide the calendar year into four quarters of varying average temperatures with summer being the hottest and winter the coldest.
In the northern hemisphere,
- Spring begins 1 March
- Summer begins 1 June
- Fall begins 1 September
- and Winter begins 1 December
In the southern hemisphere,
- Fall begins 1 March
- Winter begins 1 June
- Spring begins 1 September
- and Summer begins 1 December
The legally recognized common-year birthday of an individual born on February 29th varies from country to country. In the U.S., "leaplings" are considered to have reached a "legal age" on 1 March in common years, while the day that is socially celebrated depends on the choice of the individual.

Discussion Of The Week
I Like MuscleTech Products!
There is a company that many people dislike. Ever since I've stepped into the bodybuilding scene, I have heard people complain about this one specific company over and over again. The members of the forum don't hate this company because of the products they put on the shelves but because of the prices they put on their products.
Some of their formulas are pretty good and if not for the inflated price tag, I don't think there would be so many haters. In this thread, 'Fisher33' finally takes a stand and expresses his true feelings about this often misunderstood company. Check it out and add your two cents. You might end up changing your opinion about the company, after all.

Nutrition Thread Of The Week
Peanut Butter??
For this weeks nutrition thread, I'd like to present to you a certain food that a lot of people overlook because of some bad connotations. Peanut butter can be a extremely effective food for people like us if used properly and researched properly. Not every peanut butter is as good as the next and it's important to select a peanut butter that has as little artificial ingredients as possible.
Here is a quick guide to selecting a peanut butter that will aid in your fitness goals and not hinder them. Check it out and see what advice fellow members offer 'Gereth1979'in his search for the perfect peanut butter!
Argument Thread Of The Week
Tattoos, Bad Bad Idea:
Over the last decade, tattoos have gone from taboo to the mainstream. To be honest, I only know a handful of people now that don't have a tattoo somewhere. The thing about tattoos is that you have to know what to get so that 5 years (or one day) down the road, you don't look at it and say 'Oh sh!t.'
This week's argument is brought to you by 'abuwat' who takes the 'don't get a tattoo' side of the coin. It's really a matter of preference, if you ask me, but check out his thread and share you thoughts and comments on this controversial topic. Happy Inking!

Opinion Of The Week
Why Is Everyone Using AAS (PH's/PS) So Young? Lack Of Education? RANT!
I have come across this more and more and it's really starting to get to me. 'J2jud' also noticed this increase in posts and I'm glad that he said something. There have been an alarming number of young people deciding to use pro-hormones at an age that is dangerous to their development. It's time that there was a discussion on this topic because it's sad that people in their physical prime are turning to these types of compounds long before they should.
This is an important thread for anyone and everyone to read because I'm sure you all know someone that has contemplated using pro-hormones at some point in their lives. Check it out here and let everyone know what you think.

Routledge Atlas of Russian History by Martin Gilbert
Book DescriptionThe complex and often turbulent history of Russia over the course of 2,000 years is brought to life in a series of 176 maps by one of the most prolific and successful historian authors today. This fourth edition of The Routledge Atlas of Russian History covers not only the wars and expansion of Russia but also a wealth of less conspicuous details of its history, from famine and anarchism to the growth of naval strength and the strengths of the river systems. From 800 BC to the fall of the Soviet Union, this indispensable guide to Russian history covers: * war and conflict: from the triumph of the Goths between 200 and 400 BC to the defeat of Germany at the end of the Second World War and the end of the Cold War * politics: from the rise of Moscow in the Middle Ages to revolution, the fall of the monarchy and the collapse of communism * industry, economics and transport: from the Trans-Siberian Railway between 1891 and 1917 to the Virgin Lands Campaign and the growth of heavy industry * society, trade and culture: from the growth of monasticism to peasant discontent, Labour Camps and the geographical distribution of ethnic Russians. Now bringing new material to view, and including seven new maps, this popular atlas will more than readily gain a place on the bookshelves of anyone interested in the history of Russia.

There's Something About Mary by Peter Ludlow
Book DescriptionIn Frank Jackson's famous thought experiment, Mary is confined to a black-and-white room and educated through black-and-white books and lectures on a black-and-white television. In this way, she learns everything there is to know about the physical world. If physicalism -- the doctrine that everything is physical -- is true, then Mary seems to know all there is to know. What happens, then, when she emerges from her black-and-white room and sees the color red for the first time? Jackson's knowledge argument says that Mary comes to know a new fact about color, and that, therefore, physicalism is false. The knowledge argument remains one of the most controversial and important arguments in contemporary philosophy.There's Something About Mary -- the first book devoted solely to the argument -- collects the main essays in which Jackson presents (and later rejects) his argument along with key responses by other philosophers. These responses are organized around a series of questions: Does Mary learn anything new? Does she gain only know-how (the ability hypothesis), or merely get acquainted with something she knew previously (the acquaintance hypothesis)? Does she learn a genuinely new fact or an old fact in disguise? And finally, does she really know all the physical facts before her release, or is this a "misdescription"? The arguments presented in this comprehensive collection have important implications for the philosophy of mind and the study of consciousness.

Moreton Bay People, Paperback (July 2016)
Collected throughout the last decade of the twentieth century, these reminiscences of 'Moreton Bay People' provide a unique insight into the lifestyle of the Moreton Bay area during a particular time frame of history - the twentieth century.
Living Words, Hardback (May 2014)
Peter Ludlow shows how word meanings are much more dynamic than we might have supposed, and explores how they are modulated even during everyday conversation. The resulting view is radical, and has far-reaching consequences for our political and legal discourse, and for enduring puzzles in the foundations of semantics, epistemology, and logic.
Philosophy of Generative Linguistics, Paperback (February 2013)
Peter Ludlow presents the first book on the philosophy of generative linguistics. He explains the motivation of the generative framework, describes its mechanisms, and addresses issues of broad philosophical interest, for instance the ontology of linguistics, the nature of data, language/world relations, and best theory criteria.

All-Star game: What to watch
There's going to be a lot to see and enjoy in the 2011 All-Star Game from Chase Field in Arizona on Tuesday night, and I'm here to point you in the right direction.
Click on the photo for a guide to what to watch for in the All-Star Game.
The game itself has a tough act to follow in Monday's Home Run Derby, won by the Yankees' Robinson Cano over the Red Sox's Adrian Gonzalez in an exciting duel.
But the stars of both leagues will be just determined to win Tuesday, since Commissioner Bud Selig continues to insist the game will decide home-field advantage in the World Series.

Kantian Ethics by Allen W. Wood
Book DescriptionIn this book, Allen Wood investigates Kant's conception of ethical theory, using it to develop a viable approach to the rights and moral duties of human beings. By remaining closer to Kant's own view of the aims of ethics, Wood's understanding of Kantian ethics differs from the received 'constructivist' interpretation, especially on such matters as the ground and function of ethical principles, the nature of ethical reasoning and autonomy as the ground of ethics. Wood does not hesitate to criticize and modify Kant's conclusions when they seem inconsistent with his basic principles or fail to make the best use of the resources Kantian principles make available. Of special interest are the book's treatment of such topics as freedom of the will, the state's role in securing economic justice, sexual morality, the justification of punishment, and the prohibition on lying.

A Texas Lowes gains attention for hiring a service dog and her human.
Posted by
December 10 2016
Recently a Lowes in Abilene, Texas has gotten a lot of attention for hiring an employee who looks a little different than the average worker with her fur and four legs. A couple shopping at the home improvement store spotted the Golden Retriever named Charlotte and found out she was a service dog that was hired along with Clay Luthy, a disabled Air Force veteran. They were so impressed that they posted a photo on Facebook, which went viral.
Clay's multiple Air Force deployments resulted in countless surgeries. He credits Charlotte with allowing him to avoid medications and live independently. Still it wasn't wasn't easy to find a job. But when he and Charlotte showed up to the interview at Lowes, they assured him that it wouldn't be a problem to bring Charlotte to work every day. In fact Lowes already allows well behaved pets in their stores.
A few weeks later Lowes extended a job offer and Clay made Charlotte her own employee vest out of an old Lowe's apron.
At ten years old, Charlotte will have to retire soon. Clay has been training a seven-month old puppy named Lola to take her place, but Charlotte has left a lasting impression.
Not only has Charlotte helped Clay maintain a job, but she has become an ambassador at the store, entertaining kids while their parents shop and putting smiles on people's faces.
Finding and holding a job is just one of the challenges that people with disabilities have to deal with every day. After seeing stories like Lisa McComb's difficulty flying home with her service dog, it's refreshing to see a company with a more accommodating view. Hopefully more will follow suit!

Maid of honor makes sure her sister's dog makes it down the aisle.
Posted by
December 5 2016
Our pets are our family, so it's only natural to want to include them in all of our important life events. When veterinarians Kelly O'Connell and James Garvin were planning their wedding in Denver, Colorado, they knew all of their dogs had to be a part of the ceremony, including their sick Labrador Retriever Charlie Bear.
At 15 years old, Charlie had been battling a brain tumor since April. On the wedding day earlier this fall, Charlie was weak but started walking down the aisle with Kelly's sister and maid of honor, Katie Lloyd. But even the aisle proved to be too far for Charlie. So without hesitation, Katie picked up the 80-pound pup and carried him to the alter to be with Kelly. It was an emotional day for the couple and all of the guests.
"Both of us just dropped to our knees and started crying," said Kelly. "To see him be carried a few feet, it kind of solidified for me that it's not the Charlie he liked to be. He was aging, and it hit me knowing that he lost a lot."
Kelly's friend and photographer, Jen Dziuvenis, was there taking photographs. She was in tears but knew it was important to capture Charlie at Kelly and James' special day.
"When your beloved dog who is at the end of his life can't make it back up the aisle and your sister scoops him up and carries him... THAT is love," Jen wrote on Facebook. "There isn't enough mascara in the world for these moments. Dog people are the best people."
The wedding turned out to be one of Charlie's last days. Later that week, he passed away.
I'm sure that Kelly and James couldn't imagine their wedding without Charlie, so I'm glad that they were able to create one last memory together.

Virgin America launches their Tiny Dogs Tiny Fares promotion.
Posted by
November 29 2016
For better or worse it's become an American ritual to race to the stores on Black Friday and hunt for online deals on Cyber Monday. To try and counteract the spending frenzy, a new movement started a few years ago, naming the Tuesday after Thanksgiving 'Giving Tuesday,' reminding people to give back to their favorite charity. But this year you didn't have to wait until Tuesday to get a good deal and help out homeless pets.
This past weekend, Virgin America launched one of their biggest sales of the year, coupled with a #TinyDogsTinyFares Cyber Monday promotion of up to 30 percent off flights plus a $10 donation from every booking to its animal shelter partners: The San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SF ACC), The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and Animal Haven.
In conjunction with the deal, Virgin America also organized its seventh 'Operation Chihuahua' airlift this week, flying Chihuahuas from San Francisco to New York where they are more adoptable. California's Chihuahua overpopulation problem forces West Coast animal shelters to look to the East Coast where the demand for smaller dogs exceeds the supply. Virgin America has relocated 100 Chihuahuas since the collaboration with the SF ACC began in 2010. These homeless Chihuahuas get the VIP treatment, receiving a red carpet send-off and a flight with plenty of treats and toys.
"This is always a fun day for our Teammates, who volunteer to fly over a 24-hour period as traveling companions in order to get these pups to their forever homes on the East Coast," said Virgin America Brand Marketing and Communications Vice President Abby Lunardini. "Many of our Teammates, including myself, as well as our flyers, are passionate animal lovers, and it is heartwarming to see so many come together to support the important and under-funded work the SF ACC is doing. We're proud to be a small part of that."
It's nice to see companies giving back and bringing attention to a great cause, especially on a weekend where it's easy to get caught up in the shopping craze.
Good Dog: Activities & Sports
Doggy triathlons are becoming more popular as people seek activities to do with their pets.
Posted by
November 29 2016
Six years ago, when my Sheltie, Nemo, and I ran the Iams Doggy Dash, held in conjunction with the New York City Triathlon, there weren't that many races made for dogs. It was definitely much more fun training for a race with Nemo by my side. As race organizers realized that people wanted more activities to do with their pets, more dog oriented races have popped up--even at the highest levels of competition.
An Austrian company started the annual Iron Dog competition seven years ago and was a trailblazer for tailoring endurance events for pets. Now similar races have been created in Germany, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom, which is hosting its first dog triathlon, the Tridog, next year.
The courses are often shortened from the equivalent human-only races to prevent dogs from overheating, which was something I was concerned about when I ran with Nemo. I took a lot of precautions to ensure that he was happy and healthy the entire time. Our dogs will follow us anywhere and it's important we look out for their best interests. Not all pups are meant to run triathlons and it's our job to know what is over our pet's limits.
Unlike their human counterparts, many of these races have organized training meetups to help ensure participants are properly conditioning their dogs. While running is something that canines do naturally, endurance running, distance swimming, and trotting alongside a bike are skills that need to be gradually introduced and built up over time.
Human races have exploded in popularity over the last few years, and the increased numbers have been accompanied by a surge in injuries. Many of these are thought to be attributed to a lack of training and conditioning. I hope that's not something we see with the rise in canine races. These events have the potential to inspire people to be more active with their dogs, as long as they do it safely and thoughtfully.
Dog's Life: Work of Dogs
An east coast search and rescue dog is honored in Los Angeles.
Posted by
November 27 2016
One of the qualities I admire most about working dogs is how they approach each day with such enthusiasm. Whether it's the service dog who helps their handler live more independently or the explosives detection dog that saves the lives of everyone in harm's way, these pups give us their all, often without any thanks.
The American Humane Hero Dog Awards wanted to change that by recognizing the heroes on both ends of the leash. Each year they solicit nominations for pups in eight categories--Law Enforcement, Service, Therapy, Military, Guide/Hearing, Search and Rescue, Arson, and Emerging Hero. A combination between online voting and a panel of judges determines the winner in each category. Those eight finalists are flown to Hollywood for an awards gala that honors each dog and announces the grand prize winner.
To help cultivate the next generation of hero dogs, the American Humane Association donates $2,500 to each of the eight finalists' charity partners and an additional $5,000 for the grand prize winner's charity partner.
This year the grand prize winner was a search and rescue dog named Kobuk. The 7-year old German Shepherd and his handler, Elizabeth Fossett, have been volunteering with Maine Search and Rescue Dogs (MESARD) for the last four years. While they may make it look easy, search and rescue requires a lot of work. It took two years to find Kobuk since not all dogs are cut out for this kind of job. The searches often require for them to work eight hours at a time for multiple days. And when not deployed, Elizabeth spends 30 hours a month training and keeping Kobuk's skills fresh. But seeing the difference they've made makes it totally worth it. Elizabeth remembers early in their search and rescue career, Kobuk located 77-year old Ruth Brennan who had diabetes and dementia. Ruth had been missing for three days until Kobuk tracked 2/10 of a mile to find her."Kobuk came up over the hill and gave me his trained bark alert that he had found her and located her," remembers Elizabeth. It was a thrilling and life changing moment. Nonetheless, Elizabeth never thought she and Kobuk would be flying to Los Angeles to be honored for their work.
"Pinch me," said Elizabeth. "Because how did we go from running around the woods of Maine to walking around the red carpet of Hollywood?" The award couldn't have gone to a more humble and deserving team. I love that the American Humane Association highlights these amazing teams who work behind the scenes.
To learn more about Kobuk and Elizabeth, head over to the American Humane Hero Dog Awards web site to see their tribute video. If you were inspired, consider making a donation to Maine Search and Rescue Dogs to support their all-volunteer team.

Records uncover the Detroit police killed at least 21 dogs so far this year.
Posted by
November 21 2016
News stories about police officers killing dogs seem to have become more common in recent years. News web site, Reason, decided to investigate this trend and examined records from the Detroit Police Department. The results were pretty grim. Detroit police officers killed 25 dogs in 2015 and at least 21 so far this year, with certain individuals coming in as worst offenders. Two officers in particular were responsible for killing more than 100 dogs between the two of them over the course of their careers. And in January, two pups were killed in a narcotics search by an officer who had shot 39 dogs prior to that day. This has been an ongoing issue in Detroit as the police department has been at the center of numerous lawsuits involving canines, two which were settled outside of court. As if the numbers aren't bad enough, Reason believes that the police department may be hiding just how bad the problem is. The web site's staff found at least seven incidents documented in lawsuits and media reports that were not found in the released records. The Detroit Law Department, which handles public record requests for the city, said it never received those reports, which means the police department either failed to find them or intentionally hid them. The actual number of dogs shot by Detroit police is unknown and potentially much higher than records indicate.
This isn't limited to Detroit. Recently, body cam footage of a Colorado police officer shooting a dog has brought even more attention to this issue. In that case, the officer in question was responding to a call about two aggressive dogs. His body camera footage shows one of the dogs barking towards a police car, the boom of a shotgun, and the yelp of a dog. You can see the American Bulldog, Angelo, scramble away after being shot. The camera also captured an officer saying some derogatory words about Angelo and then later dragging the pup around by his neck.
Just like the majority of Pit Bulls are well behaved, the majority of police officers are not killing dogs. However, it's clear that there is a growing problem throughout the country. Body cameras can help keep police accountable, but it doesn't get at the root cause. For starters, I think police departments need protocol and training on how to handle dogs they may encounter on the job. Most officers don't receive any guidance in this area. I also hope that this spotlight on Detroit will put pressure on other police departments to be more diligent in capturing data on canine deaths and to identify a solution.

The canine community comes together to support a man and his dog in their final days together.

November 18 2016
Last week Mark Woods faced a hard day ahead when he planned to bring his pup, Walnut, on one last walk before having to put him to sleep. Mark knew it would be an emotional day, so he posted his plans on Facebook, hoping a few friends and family would join him. Instead, over 19,000 people reacted to Mark's Facebook post and hundreds joined the pair on Saturday at one of Walnut's favorite places--Porth Beach in Cornwall, England. And many more joined in spirit from around the world, taking their dogs on a walk at the same time.
Mark's post read:
"Walk with Walnut. Sadly I am having to have Walnut euthanised on Saturday 12th November and so we will be having a last walk together on his beloved Porth Beach at 9.30am. I would love it if dog lovers/owners and friends would join us for a celebration of Walnut on his favourite Porth Beach. He has had an incredible life and having reached the grand age of 18 is ready for his final sleep. Hope to see you on Saturday."But his plight united dog-lovers the world over – and he was inundated with thousands of messages of support. 'It's been overwhelming,' he said. 'I've had no children and Walnut has been my child over all these years. The walk was part of my effort to make Walnut's last day as normal as possible.'
Mark was humbled by the outpouring of support received from all over the world and was reminded "just how lucky we are to be alive and to share in the wonderful world that our pets give us." He has since been interviewed by radio stations from around the world as the story spread, said: 'This really celebrates the special relationship I have had with Walnut. In human years he's well over 100.
'He helped me survive a very serious illness – though I think he's also cost me relationships. I'm on my second marriage and I've been engaged three times. I think it was often a problem with my girlfriends that I always put Walnut first.'
It's always inspiring when the canine community comes together to support each other. Not only do we enjoy a special bond with our pups, but our pets also form the basis for a special relationship we share with our fellow dog lovers!

Japanese biologist develops an algorithm to decode your pup's feelings.
Posted by
November 10 2016
Remember mood rings from when you were a kid? Now dogs have their own version--a mood harness.
As a pet lover I always want to better understand what my pups are thinking. Alhough these mood harnesses seem fun, I'm not sure they'll actually help you decode your pup.
The harness, called Inupathy ("inu" means dog in Japanese), was invented by biologist Joji Yamaguchi. It measures the dog's heart rate and uses an algorithm to indicate different moods through a colored LED light. Red means excited or anxious, blue for relaxed, white for focused, and rainbow for happy.
Joji also developed an app to help you interact with your pup based on the colors. For instance, if you want to try and turn your dog's harness rainbow colored, you can launch a "Let's Play" app on your smartphone, which will suggest games to play with your dog. It can also track "average happiness" and provide a daily, weekly, and monthly analysis of your dog's emotional state over time. They also plan on making their software development kit available so developers can make their own fun apps to interact with the data.
While I see how the harness can tell if your dog is excited or calm, based on heart rate, measuring happiness seems more subjective. Inupathy certainly sounds entertaining, but I think there are much better ways to understand your dog. Observing your pets' body language and habits will give you much more insight into your pup's moods.
Inupathy is expected to be available in December. What do you think about a mood harness?

The Cynosport World Games will be accessible for free online.

November 8 2016
One of the most competitive dog agility events in the country is happening this week at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona. But if you can't make it to the Cynosport World Games, the United Stated Dog Agility Association (USDAA) is providing a free livestream of the event on their web site.
Wednesday through Friday, handlers and their dogs will be competing in the quarter- and semi-finals in Grand Prix, a class that features technical courses, and Steeplechase, a class that features courses focused on speed and accuracy, vying for a spot in the finals on Friday through Sunday.
They'll also be competing in a teams of two or three in an event that accumulates points from five different courses. The mix features a Standard and Jumpers course, two games (Snooker and Gamblers), and culminates in a team relay--complete with a baton handoff! Visit this USDAA page to learn more about what these class names mean.
The regular competition rounds will be shown on the livestream from 9am-5pm MST and the finals will be shown at 6:30pm MST. Performance Grand Prix Finals are on Friday. Team Relay, the Junior Handler Showcase, and Steeplechase Finals are on Saturday. And Grand Prix Finals are on Sunday. The nighttime finals will feature the fastest and most coordinated agility teams. It's inspiring to see these people and their pups communicating so seamlessly at high speed.
Although agility is the main focus, there will be other events going on such as dock jumping, lure coursing, herding instinct tests, and rally. Some of the proceeds raised from those activities will go to Aussie and Friends rescue, the National Canine Cancer Foundation, and the United States Association of Cynological Sports.
Cynosport will be a fun filled week for dog lovers, even if you're stuck at home behind the computer!

A California dog finds a forever home and a social media run.
Posted by
November 5 2016
Two years ago, Ivy Diep found a matted, skinny dog wandering the streets of Los Angeles. There was something about him that stuck with her, so she named him Popeye and gave him a forever home. Little did Ivy know that one day Popeye would have over 177,000 Instagram followers!
At the time, Ivy regularly visited new restaurants in Los Angeles with a friend and posted photos of their meals on Instagram. She started bringing Popeye to the pet friendly places and found he was a natural around food and was happy to stay still for photos.
So Popeye started making more appearances on Ivy's Instagram page, but she soon realized that Popeye was the real star. So Ivy created a new Instagram account called Popeye the Foodie Dog. The page features photos of the fluffy pup, often wearing themed costumes, posing with various delicious meals. The plates may look full, but Ivy only gives Popeye a few bites of anything that's safe for him. Otherwise she always has dog treats on hand so Popeye always has something to munch on. In truth, Ivy says "he's usually not really into the food anyway. He just likes to be out and about--people watching to bark at any other dog that walks by."
It's always great to see a happy ending for a rescue dog. I hope Ivy might consider dropping by the local animal shelter to bring a homeless pup along for a guest appearance, similar to the Puppuccino Pals program we wrote about in August. Social media is a really powerful tool for finding homes for rescue dogs, so I love seeing creative ways to bring attention to these deserving pups.

There is 1 video in this album. Albums make it easy to organize a collection of videos. They can be used to display videos together, or sent to friends as a playlist. You can even arrange the order of videos in each album.
You can add a video to one of your albums or create a new album from the "+Add to…" tab on video pages.
Albums can also be used to show videos on other web sites using Vimeo Widgets.
