Do you want to get rid of your extra weight fast? How to get rid of your stubborn pounds to get a slim body? Starting on a diet plan to lose weight always seems difficult to every obese individual. Also, taking an exercise on a regular basis for cutting off extra Kgs fast does not seem to be a feasible solution for many lazy individuals leading an unhealthy life. So, here the solution is to take advantage from the developments of modern sciences. The solution is to use slimming or the diet pills for weight loss.
In the markets, you can find a whole variety of products available that can be helpful in losing the extra pounds you are bearing. There are fat burners to burn the stubborn stores of fats. Similarly, there are metabolism boosters. Also, there are the products that are helpful to suppress your hunger pangs. These appetite suppressants lead to weight loss by reducing caloric intake of obese people. These weight loss supplements such as Phen24 are fast and give quick results. Also, it is far easy to use the products, i.e. Phen24 manufactured for weight loss and you do not need any effort for shedding pounds.
Do Weight Loss Supplements Work?
There are different weight loss supplements available in the market such as Phen24. A whole range of products makes difficult for us to decide which product to choose to get slimming effects fast. There are such ingredients in the slimming pills such as Phen24 that help in preventing weight gain by blocking the absorption of fats in your body.
These are fats that contribute mainly to your obesity. These fats give calories to our body. When the absorption of fats is reduced, the number of calories our body takes is also reduced. So, this way the supplements, i.e. Phen24 help us to lose weight fast and we also get rid of stubborn stores of fats inside our body.
Also, the weight loss pills or the supplements, i.e. Phen24 have such ingredients that are helpful in elevating the levels of serotonin in our body. Elevated levels of serotonin make us feel fuller for a longer time and we eat less as a result. Eating us means we are taking lesser number of calories. And intake of a lesser number of calories helps in losing weight.
Side Effects of Weight Loss Supplements:
The supplements such as Phen24 greatly boost up the process of burning fats and help us shedding extra pounds. Are there any side effects of using the slimming pills or the weight loss supplements?
The answer is that for different individuals, these products may not be harmful. While, if an individual taking the pills is suffering from some health condition, i.e. diabetes, the use of the slimming pills can be harmful. There are plenty of products available to yield slimming results. You should be careful in choosing the product.
Slimming pills or the weight loss supplements, i.e.Phen24 give fast weight loss results. But, one must be careful while choosing the product. Do have a look at the ingredients so that there is not any ingredient you are allergic too. Also, do consider age limitations and other conditions to use the product to get maximum results.

Waco, Texas | Eclectic Bungalow
An eclectic and colorful 1950s bungalow in the heart of Waco, designed for a young family transplanted to central Texas from Los Angeles. He's a musician and PhD student with a love for industrial elements and reclaimed wood; she's a designer and artist who loves classic chesterfield sofas and is psyched to take design risks. Their bright and offbeat space blends black and white pattern with pops of color – and the right mix of white, wood, and vintage brick to keep the bold and bright elements balanced.
Meaningful personal touches woven into the space include a Union Jack pillow found in the UK on their travels, a signed vinyl record album by her favorite band; and a framed program from his master's thesis presentation.
Project featured on HGTV, Apartment Therapy, LoHud Journal News, and Livingston Daily.

text: Although I'm completely new to Android I couldn't stand many of the features on the Behold 2, mostly the tiny unlock button on the side that I had a hard time locating (big hands). The Behold 2 also has the charge connector on the top of the device making it very difficult to talk on the phone if using a car charger at the same time. Right away I can tell the Fender is a better device and setup. The layout and menu options are much simpler and easier to use/understand. The Behold 2 could have been a great device without the TW interface and all the other Samsung garbage they tried to intertwine with Andriod. Definitely not worth it for a camera with more pixels and a flash.

Previously we explored how remote method invocation (RMI) is used to establish remote interaction, allowing programmers to concentrate on other issues besides the communications infrastructure. In this article, we'll take a look at how we implement client programs to connect with RMI servers and how we generate the runtime deployment classes for these clients.
Implementing an RMI client program
A RMI client must obtain a reference to a remote object from an RMI server's registry before methods on the remote object can be called. When working with the Java remote method protocol (JRMP), references are obtained using the lookup method of the java.rmi.Naming class.
The lookup method accepts a URL-formatted name for the remote object, including a hostname and an optional port number, along the lines of rmi://localhost/RMIServer. The remote object's stub class must be accessible using the current classpath. Once the remote stub is found, communication is established and the client program is free to call methods on the remote object as if the object were located in the client object's own JVM.
The example in Listing A does a lookup for a remote object with the name rmi://myhost/RMIExampleObject. If the remote object is found (i.e., no exceptions are thrown), the client program then proceeds to call the getMessage method on the remote object.
RMI clients and proxy objects
When creating an RMI server, you must compile the .java source files as you would any normal Java classes. However, you must then run the RMI compiler (rmic) to create client-side proxy classes and server-side proxy classes. A client-side proxy, known as a stub, forwards RMI calls to the server-side proxy, which in turn forwards the call to the actual remote object implementation. A server-side proxy is known as a skeleton when using the JRMP protocol, and as a tie when using the IIOP protocol. A server-side proxy contains methods that dispatch calls to the actual remote object implementation.
Figure A illustrates the relationships between client objects, remote objects, stubs, and skeletons/ties.
|Figure A
To create the server-side proxy files, you must run the rmic against the fully qualified package names of previously compiled class files containing remote object implementations. The rmic command takes one or more class names as an argument and generates class files following the pattern of RemoteObject_Skel.class and RemoteObject_Stub.class. Invoking rmic with the -iiop option generates stubs and ties that conform to the following naming convention:
The generated stub class implements exactly the same set of remote interfaces as the remote object itself. This means that a client can use the Java programming language's built-in operators for casting and type checking. It also means that remote objects written for the Java platform support true object-oriented polymorphism.
Running an RMI client
RMI client programs require no special tools or steps in order to run. Provided that the RMI server's stub classes can be located within the JVM's classpath, the client can be executed just like any ordinary Java class. Note that method calls on any remote object should be enclosed within try/catch blocks that catch objects of type java.rmi.RemoteException.

Melbourne NRL coach Craig Bellamy is expecting Cooper Cronk to do his best to plead his case to play against Penrith but won't let the injured star halfback make the final call.
Cronk played in Queensland's opening State of Origin win on Wednesday night in Sydney after badly injuring his ankle at training leading up to the match.
With the Storm hosting the Panthers on Saturday night at AAMI Park, Bellamy said it would be "hard to imagine" his No.7 playing.
Their other Origin representative, skipper Cameron Smith, came through unscathed and was already back at Storm headquarters, however Cronk's flight from Sydney was delayed due to fog at Melbourne airport which meant his medical check had to be put back.
Bellamy said Cronk would be desperate to suit up.
"They're always keen to back up those guys," Bellamy said of the pair.
"They pride themselves on backing up for their club after they play Origin but it would be hard to imagine Cooper playing.
"If he thinks he's right, he'll be very persuasive but I'll be going more on the doctor than what Cooper says."
Back-rower Tohu Harris ran at halfback in their final training session in the absence of Cronk, again proving his versatility after filling in playing in the centres following a series of injuries to the Storm's outside backs.
That crisis has eased with Curtis Scott, Young Tonumaipea and Richie Kennar all available after being sidelined.
Cheyse Blair and Ryan Morgan have been named to face the Panthers but Bellamy says that could change.
"We might use Young tomorrow night but it will be good to see all those guys playing again and, hopefully, they can put a bit of pressure on the guys who are playing first grade at the moment and we'll have some real competition there," Bellamy said.
The second-placed Storm are gunning for six straight and boast an impressive record against Penrith, winning nine of their past 10.
But Bellamy said their defence would be tested by the eighth-placed Panthers.
"They're hard to handle; they do a lot of offloading and change of direction in their attack so, if you don't defend well, you're going to be in trouble and won't get the result you want."

Talk's cheap for the disciples of Skype [ 21 April 2006 ]
If you have a computer and broadband Skype makes calls free to others on the Internet. It sounds good to me. It works well too. So well that EBay bought the company for an upfront payment of $US2.6 billion. Their sales were $US60 million last year and rising. eBay may have been over confident.
Skype is the brain child of Niklas Zennstrom, a Swede. He and Friis created Kazaa, a peer to peer file sharing programme that helped millions to share their music. This annoyed the music firms and they got it made illegal. They moved on. Skype will make telephone firms redundant but the line providers will survive and prosper. His software writing is done in Estonia.

John Healey, Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Minister for Customs, writesfor The Western Mail on the fight against the modern threat to our borders
THE threat of serious crime and the potential threat of terrorism in the 21st Century needs 21st-Century solutions.
That's why much-needed changes are being made to the way Customs works, not only at the front line but inland, and those changes will ensure Wales is better protected.
Some recent press reports have been inaccurate and have sent misleading messages to the public.
We are now reinforcing, not reducing, the UK's protections against people who want to harm our society.
The way we currently deploy Customs officers in Wales does not match the threat that modern crime poses. A thin blue line of static Customs officers on routine duties at low-threat ports does not deter the well-resourced criminals who are determined to breach our borders.
The mythical view of the smuggler running drugs, guns or alcohol along the secluded Welsh coastline is simply not borne out by experience. Intelligence shows that the majority of drugs and illegal goods on the streets of Wales come through England - and mainly by major roads. Even small-scale individual bootlegging is often routed through English ports.
But it is wrong to say we are not active and present in Wales. In fact, under our new plans, more officers than ever are going to be covering Wales in mobile teams, wherever intelligence tells us there is a threat, whether inland or at ports and airports.
Modern smuggling is big business, run by international criminal gangs who are well- organised, well-financed and adaptable - they use ever-more sophisticated methods to generate their illegal wealth.
Our challenge has been to build a modern Customs service to match these criminals. This means not only working in new ways, but also developing new skills, using new intelligence techniques and investing in the latest technology.
Our presence in some locations has been too predictable for criminals. In my experience, our Customs officers are committed to their job and dedicated to their public service role.
But nowadays, when we have them based at a port "just-in-case", they are not able to produce the results we need. Nor, with routine duty patterns in low-risk ports and airports, are we ensuring an efficient use of taxpayers' money or best protecting society against smugglers and their activities.
In South Wales, local frontier teams in Pembroke and Swansea have not detected any Class A drugs or crime-related cash in any substantial quantities during the past two years. There was one significant seizure of cigarettes at Pembroke last year and, though Customs staff there did a good job, this could equally have been carried out by a mobile team.
By comparison, national mobile teams, which have been deployed on 16 targeted operations during the last two years in Wales, have seized over 6.5 million cigarettes and half a million pounds of criminals' cash.
So Customs are building more flexible teams to operate in Wales and beyond, wherever intelligence tells us there is a threat - whether this is from drugs, illegal meat or terrorism.
These teams will be supported by undercover intelligence officers who make use of constant sources of quality intelligence - from all over the world - to ensure that we best meet the threats that face us in Wales and the rest of the UK.
In the last month, intelligence-led work has resulted in the UK's biggest Class A drug hauls in history - with three- and-a-half tons of Colombian cocaine seized in the mid-Atlantic, with help from the Royal Navy, and another 800 kgs seized by Customs at a service station on the M3.
Without flexible teams of officers, these harmful drugs would have found their way onto streets across Britain.
The Government will also do whatever is needed to reinforce our UK frontiers against the terrorist threat.
New resources, provided by the Chancellor in his April budget, will allow Customs to deploy the latest equipment in line with intelligence to detect radioactive material that might be smuggled in for use by terrorists - also in Wales.
Customs will be working in close co-ordination with police, Special Branch and the Home Office to ensure we provide the best possible protection we can for Britain.
These are major changes, and change on this scale is often hard for those affected. But it is essential if we are to counter serious and large-scale smuggling.
Our priority is the protection of Wales and the rest of the UK from serious crime. Ditching outdated and unproductive working practices to build a modern Customs service is what we must do. Anything else will fail the people of Wales and all who rely on us to protect them.

WASHINGTON — Iran has increased its stockpile of 20% enriched uranium by nearly a third since May, United Nations investigators reported Thursday, indicating that Tehran is pushing ahead with nuclear development despite tightening U.S. and European sanctions and the threat of an Israeli military strike.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency, also reported that Iran has doubled the number of centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium, in an underground bunker near the holy city of Qom that experts say has been built to withstand an attack.
The findings add to U.S. and Israeli concerns that the Islamic Republic is fast expanding its enrichment efforts even as it negotiates with world powers seeking to curb the program before Iran can develop the capability to build a nuclear weapon. Iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
The negotiations, which began this spring, have stalled but have not shut down.
"The fact that they have accelerated their activities seems to suggest that they're using this period of a diplomatic lull to bring as many facilities and centrifuges online as possible," said Ray Takeyh, an Iran expert at the nonpartisan Council on Foreign Relations. "That way, when they do [reenter] negotiations, whenever that is, they can say, 'What's here is here. Let's talk about the future.'"

Rex Ryan: Patriots should worry about Jets, not other way around
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan isn't afraid of talking about himself, or anyone else for that matter.
He's never worried about the consequences of his words. That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise that Ryan says he's a "great coach" or that the New England Patriots should be worried about the Jets this season.
"Somebody asked me if we focus on New England. Bull—-," Ryan told the New York Post. "We're focused on us. We're focused on us and how are we going to be better. I have to be honest, I don't worry about them. They need to worry about us. I think that's really where we're at now."
Ryan then talked about himself as a coach, telling the New York Daily News that he "absolutely knows" he's a great coach.
"Do I think that I'm a great coach? I absolutely know I'm a great coach," Ryan said. "But it's not just about me. What makes a great coach is the people that surround you, the people that are with you every day."
Ryan did acknowledge that he might be less than great as an offensive mind.
"You know what? I'm not as good in certain areas," Ryan said. "I get it. No question, I get it. Are there better offensive coaches than me? Yeah."
Ryan led the Jets to an eight-win season in 2013. The Jets square off with New England on Oct. 16 in Foxboro and Dec. 21 in New Jersey.

Just Cause 3 Review
Hard to put down, yet hard to recommend
Well this was quite an eye-opening surprise. Ever since Just Cause 3's announcement, I was absolutely pumped to get my hands on it. Just Cause 2 was one of those stupidly fun games that allowed players to let loose on a tropical paradise, causing chaos, as well as have fun with the game's physics engine thanks to the grappling hook. Naturally, after having a blast with that game, I was eager to once again let loose in the sequel. And for the most part, I did just that in Just Cause 3, and it was extremely fun! Except when it wasn't.
I'll put a disclaimer here and state that I didn't finish Just Cause 3. I wanted to, I swear I did, but the game's technical problems are no joke. Seriously, I'm not trying to state some sort of hyperbole here, it's just fact. And I'm not even a huge stickler for performance issues with games. I usually grit my teeth and enjoy them for what they are. But Just Cause 3 is a new low. I've captured a few videos that I included in my Review in Progress article here, and you can see that nothing crazy even has to be happening for the framerate to take a dip. But those two videos are just a tiny sample size of just how bad the game can get. I played the game on the PS4, but from what I've been reading, the Xbox One version is worse, and the PC version is just as un-optimized.
Don't get me wrong, Just Cause 3 does a lot of things right. Hell, the game, mechanics wise, at least most of it, is designed in a way to ensure you're always either causing some sort of mayhem, or partaking in a slew of wildly different side activities, and I loved that. It's just that for every activity that I loved doing, the game's performance would completely cock-block my excitement.
Let's take a look at what the game does right, what flops (besides the performance) and my verdict.

Guess what? Cancun is clean and safe and offers efficient, friendly service starting with airport personnel and continuing right through cab drivers to the front desk staff at your hotel.
You're probably skeptical. So were a group of corporate and association meeting planners recently hosted by Cancun suppliers and Adams/Laux Publishing for a Showcase site inspection trip. But, to a person, the guests reported their negative preconceptions had vanished by the end of the four-day tour.

I just have to bring this information here to this space because I KNOW that there are people out there with the vision and the passion for this...
A few weeks ago, I joined a company called Wor(l)d Global Network after completely LOSING MY MIND over their Helo product.
Let me tell you why...Helo is a health awareness band and the nurse in me absolutely LOST IT when I saw what this thing can do (and will do SOON!). It is like a FitBit on steroids...it does all the fitness tracking (heart rate, steps, calories, sleep etc.) that other wearable devices do but it also has the ability to do blood pressure, sense mood and fatigue, and it can even do a basic EKG (plus oodles of other amazing things!). WHAT?! And later this year it will be able to do non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, oxygenation, blood alcohol levels, and more!!!!
Yes, my mind was blown. How could it not be?! Imagine what this can do for people in terms of health awareness. The possibilities are flipping ENDLESS. ENDLESS!!
But then...oh, my friends, THEN...I immersed myself in learning about this business and my heart was lit on fire. Wor(l)d GN is going places and I want to be a part of that!
Did you know that Forbes has predicted the wearable device market to grow by $20 billion (TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS!!) over the next 2 1/2 years and Wor(l)d GN, being a network marketing company, plans to pay US (you and me) a portion of their share of that $20 billion (click here for full income disclosure).
Why network marketing? Because the CEO of the company, Fabio Galdi, is committed to network marketing because of its success with getting products into the hands of people. He recognizes that instead of paying a marketing company millions of dollars, he can put that money into the hands of REAL PEOPLE (aka: you and me) and change their lives.
Friends, this opportunity elevator is going to the top and it is about to leave ground floor...I want YOU in that elevator with me! Opportunity doesn't wait...the time is NOW!
I want to share this with you...contact me at: email@example.com or leave a comment with your email address and be prepared to go ALL IN!

ALTO, TEXAS, USA, July 10, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/
-- 15 years ago Gary Leifer established a 1000 sq. ft. retail
storefront in Granada Hills, CA. It began as an enjoyable experiment and
since then All Seasons Hydroponics has expanded into a 6000+ sq. ft.
flagship showroom, several secondary warehouses, and multiple retail
locations in the United States.
Ensuring that the customer is always cared for has been the
foundation upon which All Seasons was built, and this belief has spread
to all subsequent ventures undertaken by Mr. Leifer. It has resulted not
only in success in business, but a customer loyalty that has value
beyond revenue. Throughout his years in the industry, Mr. Leifer has
worked alongside growers through all stages of cultivation - from
cloning and seeding to large commercial grow operations. He's derived
both commercial and personal satisfaction from witnessing the novice
indoor gardener with one light in his closet develop into a
commercial-level grower in a large facility with thousands of lights.
Separating Mr. Leifer and his companies from his contemporaries are a
simple set of practices: excellent customer service, advanced product
recommendations and unparalleled post-purchase support. Other retailers
are often able to compete on price but fall short on knowledge, support
or direct connection with manufacturers, and it is for this reason that
staff training and in-house education has always been a top priority.
With no signs that industry growth is declining, Mr. Leifer has
wisely expanded into the online space. Taking his business practices
onto the web, Mr. Leifer has established a world-class e-Commerce
website in HydroEmpire.com that not only serves a retail need but also
provides relevant blog articles, podcasts and videos. These continuing
education materials are intended to help all growers understand
products, the growing process and how to become better at the delicate
art and science of horticulture.
All Seasons has been carrying EM-1® Microbial Inoculant for several
years. Due to increased demand and customer requests, All Seasons is
looking to expand TeraGanix
product offerings to include its EM-1® Bokashi products as well as
additional sizes of EM-1® Microbial Inoculant to cater to larger
growers. Due to steady sales of EM-1® products, Mr. Leifer has decided
to begin offering TeraGanix products through its online outlets as well.
TeraGanix is the exclusive distributor for authentic Effective Microorganisms® products in the continental United States and Canada. For dealer inquiries, please contact TeraGanix.________________________________________________________________

available for purchase on RonnieColeman.com, a popular health and
nutritional products site.
TeraGanix is the United States and Canada's
exclusive marketing partner for Effective Microoorganisms® (EM®)
products. This probiotic is the company's premier line, the very first
probiotic to contain photosynthetic bacteria to debut in the American
"This is an exciting time for us at
TeraGanix," said Eric Lancaster, Executive Vice President of TeraGanix.
"We have been working hard to continue to expand the availability of PRO
EM-1®, and this new sales partnership with RonnieColemanNutrition.com
will allow us to reach out to an entirely new audience of consumers. We
believe that the health-savvy customers of RonnieColemanNutrition.com
will very much appreciate the amount of research and time that has gone
into the development of this probiotic, not to mention the outstanding
benefits it will provide them."
PRO EM-1® was the first product developed by
EM Research Organization specifically for human consumption. It was made
with a blend of three groups of microbes: photosynthetic bacteria,
lactic acid bacteria and yeast. This mixture allows those microbes to
work together to develop a stronger immune system and an overall
healthier digestive system, which is especially important for anyone who
suffers from chronic gastrointestinal conditions. The product has also
shown to be effective at guarding against infections, providing extra
boosts of nutrition and suppressing pathogens that could cause unhealthy
PRO EM-1® also sets itself apart from the
competition because of its unique manufacturing process. It is a
fermented probiotic, which allows it to maintain all of its most
important metabolites which include vitamins, enzymes, co-enzymes, trace
minerals and more. Between these metabolites and its diversity of
microbes, PRO EM-1® is able to be more effective than most probiotics on
the market.
"This new sales partnership is a great step
forward for our company, and we look forward to reaching out to more
people than ever before," said Lancaster.

TeraGanix, Texas-based company known for developing a variety of

available for purchase on Go4ItNutrition.com, a popular online retailer
specializing in nutritional products
TeraGanix is the exclusive marketing partner for Effective
Microorganisms® (EM) products in the United States and Canada. Its Pro
EM-1 Probiotic is its most popular product available, the very first on
the marketplace to use photosynthetic bacteria in any amount, let alone
as its primary ingredient.
"We are pleased to announce that Pro EM-1 is now available for
purchase on Go4ItNutrition.com," said Eric Lancaster, Executive Vice
President of TeraGanix. "This is a product people have embraced for its
ability to strengthen the immune system and alleviate digestive
problems. We believe it will fit in perfectly with the other natural,
nutritional offerings found on Go4ItNutrition.com."
Pro EM-1 was EM's first product developed specifically for human
consumption. Its design is a mixture of three distinct groups of
microbes: lactic acid bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria and yeast. In
this mixture, the three groups of microbes work in harmony to strengthen
the immune system and improve the overall health of the digestive
tract. People who suffer from gastrointestinal problems can particularly
benefit from it as a result. Additionally, the product has been
demonstrated to be an effective shield against bacterial infections,
providing the nutritional boosts needed to guard against pathogens that
would otherwise wreak havoc on the body.
Not only does Pro EM-1 have a unique mixture of ingredients, but it
also has a special manufacturing process that sets it apart from other
probiotics on the market. It is fermented, allowing it to hold on to its
important metabolites including vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes.
This allows Pro EM-1 to outpace other probiotics in terms of
effectiveness while maintaining lower colony counts.

TeraGanix, a
company based in Texas that develops a line of products using natural
technologies, announced its Pro EM-1® Probiotic is now available for
purchase on Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer.
Since 2010, TeraGanix has been the exclusive
marketing partner for Effective Microorganisms® (EM®) products in the
continental United States and Canada. The Pro EM-1 Probiotic is the
company's signature product, the first probiotic to hit the market that

the vast majority of other probiotics on the market despite having lower

"We look forward to continuing to build our
brand's name in North America and helping people all over the continent
experience better digestive health," said Lancaster.
TeraGanix, a
Texas-based company that develops products using authentic, natural
technology, announced it has begun expanding its brand reach throughout
North America through a variety of new marketing and sales strategies.
Originally named EM America, TeraGanix was
re-branded in 2010 and reached an exclusive agreement with EM Research
Organization to become the continental United States and Canadian
marketing partner for Effective Microorganisms® products. The company is
especially known for its Pro EM-1® probiotic, the first probiotic on
the market to contain photosynthetic bacteria.
"We are thrilled to be taking the next steps
forward as a company to expand our market reach in the United States and
Canada," said Eric Lancaster, Executive VP. "We have made it a priority
to push forward with our marketing and reach out to brand new people
all over North America who can benefit from our products. We're very
much looking forward to what the future has in store for us."
Pro EM-1 was the very first Effective
Microorganisms® product made for human consumption. It combines three
different groups of microbes, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast and
photosynthetic bacteria. The result is a healthier, more balanced
digestive and immune system, which is particularly helpful to people who
regularly suffer from gastrointestinal distress. The product helps
fight off infections, suppress pathogens that cause digestive
imbalances, and provides extra nutrition.
The manufacturing process of Pro Em-1® is what
sets it apart from other similar products on the market. It is
fermented, and retains many of the important metabolites that help it
fight off bacterial problems in the digestive system. With a diversity
of species and metabolites paired with live, non-freeze dried microbes,
Pro Em-1® works better than 99 percent of the other probiotic products
on the market, even though it contains lower colony counts.
"We are pleased to be able to expand our
marketing operations in North America and help more people than ever
before find relief from the digestive issues that have been plaguing
them," said Lancaster.
The pathogenic microorganism Salmonella is a concern for all poultry growers. Most food safety approaches utilize disinfectants and harsh chemicals to control pathogenic microorganisms. TeraGanix supplies an all-natural liquid product made of all non-GMO, food grade, GRAS microorganisms as an inoculant in poultry litter to naturally suppress pathogenic microbes right where the birds are grown and live. In broiler production, litter that is left on the floor contains fecal matter. Salmonella species grow in the fecal matter and can become concentrated in the litter that gets stuck on the birds' feet and in their feathers. Between flocks, many growers will windrow (mound up) the litter for 7 to 10 days to heat up the material, hoping to pasteurize the material. However, this is often not effective and also results in increased levels of ammonia gas in the houses.
The team headed by Dr. Sheffield recently published their research in the peer reviewed Journal of Applied Poultry Research.
They were able to replicate near complete pathogen suppression using TeraGanix's liquid bacteria product, Lt1000™. Even though farm practices vary in litter removal, if Lt1000™ is applied with every flock, pathogens can be suppressed regardless of litter management method. Use of Lt1000™ greatly reduces the risk of pathogenic bacteria living among the livestock and possibly reduces the risk of food contamination.

A birth day expression
Today is March 25th, I like Maths so I found magic of numbers in my life's book . Right from my date of birth Jan.25... at the age of 25, I was blessed my youngest child a daughter after two sons, She was born on March 25th 1992, the day when our cricket team won the 1st world cup ever in the captaincy of Imran khan, as I was cricket lover like the youth today so I felt pleased to have a baby girl on this special day of our nation. I always felt her as a gift any how with the passage of time our mutual relations would not be so up to the mark, facing many ups and downs like our own Cricket team. But over all we are united. We often quarrel like enemies when find gaps and lack of communication in between, at the same time we act like very close friends when express our feelings.We share our tears our joys,our complexes,our assets,our love,our hatred. She says she is not like me as she has a different approach towards life. I also feel like that but I know very well that she is gradually following my path unintentionally. This feel makes me sad and satisfies at the same time. I want her to make her own way but keeping in mind the lessons that life has written on my body and my soul, I want her to be strong,confident and self sufficient so would be able to survive in this totally unfriendly world for a weak woman. I wish I pray that her eyes will always shine with the glory of her dreams,no worries come to near her except that is written by our creator.
Allah does
not obligate any soul beyond its capacity.
So I pray to my ALLAH to give her enough strength to face all the hurdles coming in her life.
Happy birth day to you my crunchy daughter, may you have many more with mental and physical health and total submission to Allah's givings .

But its not a sin not to have children. Rather you can affect many children lives by not being parent of one two or three chikdren of yr own. I know its difficult to accept but possible.

Sony Pictures Entertainment is relishing a big, and quite surprising, weekend at the box office.
"Sausage Party," the studio's raunchy R-rated animated comedy about talking food, brought in $ 33.6 million at the North American box office this weekend. That beat industry projections that the film would open to $ 10 million to $ 15 million over the weekend.
The debut for film, which stars Seth Rogen as a hot dog named (yup, you guessed it) Frank, was also nearly double the comedy's $ 19 million budget.
"Sausage Party" looks to also be another big win for Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg. The duo has a long track record of creating low-budget hits for Sony's Columbia Pictures like 2007's "Superbad," 2008's "Pineapple Express," and 2013's "This Is the End."
"Rogen and Goldberg are Sony's go to guys for outside the box comedies," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore (SCOR). "'Sausage Party' again proves that studios with guts stand by their edgiest filmmakers through thick and thin. That's what separates the wieners from the losers."
While "Sausage Party" feasted at the weekend box office, Warner Bros.'s "Suicide Squad" dropped off the table.
The comic book film starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie took first place, but dropped roughly 67% in its second weekend, bringing in $ 43.7 million after opening to record numbers last week.
Related: 'Suicide Squad' laughs its way to record-breaking August opening
So it appears that while "Suicide Squad" has already brought in more than $ 465 million worldwide for Warner Bros., its bad reviews are starting to catch up with it.

GERALD Ryan will take no chances at Warwick Farm on Wednesday as he bids to salvage something from the wreck with boom colt Condor Heroes.
The talented two-year-old, who finished second to Khan at his only start in last spring's Breeders' Plate, was considered by many good judges as the best roughie in last week's Golden Slipper.
But his Golden Slipper dream came to an abrupt end when Condor Heroes took off on the way to the barriers and was subsequently scratched from the Pago Pago Stakes, a race he had to win to make the Slipper field.
Ryan is convinced he would have gone close in the Pago Pago and will ensure he is led to the barriers by the clerk of the course on Wednesday.
"He wasn't going to go very deep into the autumn anyway but he will run in a maiden and if he came out of it all right and looks like he will run 1400m, he will go to the Sires' otherwise he will run in the Kindergarten (1100m)," he said.
"We will get him led to the barriers today and Tim (Clark) said he was just trotting along (on the way to the gates in the Pago Pago) and then he broke into a hack and next minute a horse walked past him and he just took off.
"Last time in he used to be very keen and nearly got going with Tim going to the gates in a two-year-old trial but he hadn't shown any signs of that this time in."
The Warwick Farm track was rated a Heavy 9 on Tuesday and that's Ryan's main concern with Condor Heroes.
"My biggest query is being on a heavy track and he has never been exposed to it," Ryan said. "But he hasn't missed a beat and I would be disappointed if he is not hard to beat."
Condor Heroes, rated a $2 favourite for the TAB Plate, leads a four-pronged attack for Ryan at Warwick Farm. The Sydney trainer will also be represented by first starters Dissolution and Heartaches in Race 2 and Modha in Race 9.
"Dissolution is going to be a horse that is probably going to be better over more ground," Ryan said. "In both trials he has got back and worked home.
"Heartaches is a nice enough filly and she will improve off the run but she was supposed to go to Gosford the other day and they were called off and then she was supposed to go to Wyong and they were called off. We just have to get a race into her."
Modha put the writing on the wall with a close second in a Benchmark 77 at this track on March 8 and Ryan is confident she can go one better on Wednesday. "Wet track, back to 1200m and she has drawn OK I think (depending on how the track plays)," he said. "She has done well, she is a good honest mare who has won a race in town and deserves to win another one."
BEST BET: SUPER MAXI (Race 6, No. 4)
His third placing in the Fireball last start was full of merit and he is going great guns this prep. He is rock-hard fit third-up now and this looks his race.
NEXT BEST: CONDOR HEROES (Race 1, No. 2)
He was considered a Golden Slipper chance by some before he was scratched at the barriers in the Pago Pago. Looks very hard to beat in this.
HARD TO BEAT: SEEBLUME (Race 3, No. 6)
Should have won first-up and she was just held up at a crucial stage at Wyong. Gets her chance to atone here.
SHOULD GO CLOSE: DORTMUND (Race 7, No. 8)
Dortmund has good early speed and he is yet to finish further back than second in five career runs. He will be hard to run down.
OTHER BET: SHEIKHA (Race 2, No. 9)
Sheikha stared $8 in an Inglis Nursery and she was wide throughout that day when finishing eighth to subsequent Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign. She has won two trials this time in and should take some catching.
Hard to go past 2. CONDOR HEROES who was considered a Golden Slipper chance by some before he was scratched at the barriers in the Pago Pago. 1. CATMOSPHERE was no match for Astoria but beat the rest at this track on debut. 9. ORDOS HONOR and 6. ARGEMONE also have claims.
BETTING STRATEGY: CONDOR HEROES to win.
9. SHEIKHA stared $8 in an Inglis Nursery and she was wide throughout that day when finishing eighth to subsequent Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign. She has won two trials this time in and should take some catching. 10. STELLA VICTORIA ran on well behind Astoria last start and should do the same, while 2. KOOKABAA has shown enough at the trials to be competitive on debut.
BETTING STRATEGY: SHEIKHA to win.
6. SEEBLUME should have won first-up and she was just held up at a crucial stage. She can atone here. 8. WHITE MOSS trialled well and must be included. 1. BEST GUESS and 3. MEDLYN have won a recent trial each and both three-year-olds come from astute yards.
BETTING STRATEGY: SEEBLUME to win and WHITE MOSS to place.
4. ALPEN ROSE finished second on a heavy track at Warwick Farm last start and will get conditions to suit again. 2. BAROOD went super first-up off a long break and he just got tired over the concluding stages, which is understandable. He has 60kg here but Hugh Bowman goes on. Stablemate 3. BRIGADOON RISE resumes and has won first-up in the past.
BETTING STRATEGY: ALPEN ROSE to win.
8. SHOCK ALERT got too far back at Doomben last start and I'm prepared to give him another chance. 5. WU GOK is racing well and he is never far away. 6. FORREEL next best, while 1. CISMONTANE is stepping up sharply in trip.
BETTING STRATEGY: SHOCK ALERT to win.
4. SUPER MAXI is going great guns this prep and his third placing in the Fireball last start was full of merit. He is rock-hard fit third-up now and this looks his race. 3. BURRADOO was caught wide in the Camarena first-up and can improve, while 8. ROSE OF MAN returned with a strong win but she doesn't normally win out of turn.
BETTING STRATEGY: SUPER MAXI to win.
8. DORTMUND has good early speed and he is yet to finish further back than second in five career runs. He will be hard to run down. 2. CONARCHIE is a Saturday city class horse on his day and he has a great record at this track. Resuming here but has won first-up in the past. 9. KRAVCHENKO look next best.
BETTING STRATEGY: DORTMUND to win.
8. UP 'N' ROLLING won a recent trial in very impressive fashion and the former Kiwi was snagged back and then came with a strong finish under a nice hold. This looks a nice race for him to kick off in Australia. 3. NOTHING BOX wasn't far away last start and looks next best, while 5. AXIOMATIC showed good ability last prep and will be finishing off. 15. PECANS also has each-way claims.
BETTING STRATEGY: UP 'N' ROLLING to win.
13. ANGHARAD trialled well recently and looks to have come back a stronger filly this prep. 6. GRETNA has had a few chances this prep but is a talented filly, while 7. INVINCIBLE DAME hasn't been far away at her past couple and should get a nice run midfield. 11. O'REILLY CYRUS has a big finish on her day, while 10. COCOEXCEL has been trialling well but is yet to bring that form to the races.
BETTING STRATEGY: ANGHARAD to win.

Yes, Chatuchak Market has a pet section. Maybe not somewhere a tourist is going to make their next purchase, but certainly worth checking out. It is home to many breeds of cats and dogs and the list truly does go on.
There are pet accessories including leashes, cages and toys, tanks and soaps for aquatic creatures as well as foods for different types of animals.
If you're an animal lover and fall for a pet from the market, make sure you do as much research as possible before making a purchase. It is often very difficult to get these animals through customs when travelling home and can be a very costly exercise.

Want to get Paula Patton's gorgeous glow from last night's Jumping the Broom premiere in L.A? If so, celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine shares the steps he took to make the already pretty, Patton even more beautiful so that you can recreate the look too!
Inspired by her dress, Fine wanted Patton's look to be, "fresh, yet defined, and nothing that would compete with the drama of the dress!" Using COVERGIRL products, he created the look by following these easy steps:
SKIN: "I began dabbing COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Concealer in Light directly underneath her eyes, closest to the lashline to highlight and conceal. Then, I used my fingers to apply COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup to unify varied tones and give her skin a flawless, yet natural-looking finish. After applying foundation and setting with powder, I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Mineral Bronzer in Light Bronze to add luminosity and dimension to the skin. I often suggest using bronzer as blush, but this time I opted for a pop of color using COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Classic Pink."
EYES: "I decided to go for a clean eye and well-defined eyebrow. Whenever I address brows, I always begin by using COVERGIRL Professional Natural Lash Clear Mascara to groom the brow and hold it in place. Then, I gently stroke pencil through the brow with a pencil a shade lighter than the hair, so it never looks drawn on. I played up Paula's eyes using liner and lots of mascara. I used COVERGIRL LineExact Liquid Liner in Very Black to draw a fine line that wasn't overly dramatic, then added a few coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara to upper lashes to make eyes appear "lifted"."
LIPS: "Lastly, I chose COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lip Color in PowderPuff Pink to complete this feminine, fresh look."
Are you planning to see Jumping the Broom?

Sorry for my blogging absence, it's been a very hectic week. As you already know, the American Legion team I am coaching started up, plus Thursday I had to chaperon the prom for the HS I teach at (shoot me), Friday I had a golf outing with 14 or so co-workers, Saturday was your tradition MDW BBQ as well as painting my soon to arrive niece's bed room, and yesterday was golf again as well as a trip up to Pearl River, NY to hang with the infamous Matthew Vickers. It's been a hectic life, and although I haven't had a chance to sit down and keep up with the daily blogs, I have been keeping up with the work outs.
My workouts this week were extremely tough. As I already said my life has been crazy busy, that leads to exhausting workouts with less stamina. With that being said, my reps have all increased from week 1, my legs and core are noticeably stronger, and my flexibility is coming around as well. I should be able to get back into a more normal routine this week, as I have Mon and Tues off for the Memorial Day.
I've kept up with the recovery drinks and protein shakes, although my diet this weekend has been shady at best. It's been a little more than cheating, but I guess the fact that the holiday weekend and the kick off of summer is usually a time for burgers, hot dogs, and beer - I'll use that as my excuse and move on from there.
Anyway - I'll be back later today to blog about my start of week 3 with Chest, Back, and Abs - as well as a picture for week 2 (I'll begin to post pictures after every week from this point on). The picture has been delayed to do technical difficulties with my electric buzzer. As I was buzzing my chest (all you hairy guys know how this is) I got all of the shaved, except for my left pec, and the buzzer died. So my entire stomach, chest area was buzzed cleanly, and then there was my left pec with a winter's worth of chest hair. It was pretty crazy, but not that I am trimmed and primped, I'll be posing for the frontal and back shots later tonight. Enjoy the rest of your weekend...

When we do a special issue on guitar recording products, we go all in, and this issue is no exception. We team up with Alex Hawley, ace guitarist and hard-working pro engineer, for reviews of great tools from Radial Engineering, Line 6, Positive Grid, Sonoma Wire Works, Zoom, Strymon, JHS, and IK Multimedia. The icing on the cake is a hard look at guitar recording using the Universal Audio line of interfaces and their guitar-friendly Unison preamps.
Also in this issue: monitors from EVE Audio and Amphion, a great EQ from BAE, a beautiful Peluso microphone, Senal's latest pro headphones, and more.
We all want to know how successful engineers get their great guitar tones, and Brian Marshak delivers the goods with a series of interviews that reveal the guitar recording toolkits of Ross Hogarth, Barry Conley, Jeff Gartenbaum, Jun Murakawa, and Jay Ruston. On the acoustic side of things, Beto Hale opens his mic locker to reveal mic choices and strategies for acoustic guitar recordings.
Also in this issue, we have First Steps with Paul Stamler, Readers' Tracks with Marty Peters, our regular monthly features, and more. If you're hungry for cool tools and hot tips for capturing the best guitar tone ever, you can't afford to miss the July RECORDING!

Bratnewton, I'm sorry you find yourself needing to be here--but welcome! There are many supportive and knowledgeable people here, so you will not feel alone any longer.
I was diagnosed with hep C in '93. I tried Interferon twice that first year, but I had very low white counts so was taken off after 4-6 weeks. The only symptoms I had for a long time were extreme fatigue and elevated liver enzymes. Later I developed ascites and edema.
about 2 1/2 years ago, I was diagnosed with a huge cancerous tumor in my liver, which had metastasized to the inferior vena cava. I was getting ultrasounds every year, and this showed up on one of them. I went to Mayo Clinic here in Jacksonville, FL, and they literally saved my life. They first did a chemoembolization and then I was part of a study for TheraSphere, a form of radiation in microscopic beads. These treatments shrunk the metastasized part of the tumor back into the main tumor and shrunk the tumor enough that I could undergo surgery. A year ago in May, I had the rt. lobe of my liver removed. During that surgery, I had a biopsy of the left lobe and was found to have mild cirrhosis. I have remained cancer free since then. I did develop 2 incisional hernias (the first repair didn't hold up) and some drainage problems, but I am doing very well now--finally.
I will go back to Mayo in Sept. for blood work, a CT scan, and a meeting with my hepatologist to discuss hep C treatment. The hep C caused the liver cancer. If the cancer recurs in the left lobe, I will need a transplant.
It sounds like you have been getting the care you need, except for the problem with the primary care physician. If you are not satisfied with the way things go in San Francisco, perhaps you could contact Mayo in Phoenix, AZ. I hear you on the testing. I cannot begin to tell you the number of CT scans and MRIs I've had, plus constant blood work.
I don't have much family, but I think the only one who understands or cares to hear about my illness is my sister in SC. My daughter doesn't want to hear about it and my aunt doesn't really understand the seriousness of the disease. So I especially appreciate having this forum, a place where I KNOW people understand. There are some really wonderful, caring people here.
Again, welcome, and I hope you will post often!
Post Edited (hep93) : 8/3/2008 2:19:58 PM (GMT-6)
Dear Bratnewton,
I am so glad you have found this site. I am sorry that you have a need for it, but I know how important information can be to coping with everything. And just having others who understand is such a help.
I spent last week dealing with my first ascities "attack". It was miserable. Monday my Dr. removed 1.5 litres. Doesn't seem like much, but at least now I can breathe without pain.
My husband is one of those whose response to the dr. telling us I could live a long time with this or be on the transplant list in 2 or 3 years was He doesn't have to worry about it for 2 or 3 years then. He loves me dearly, and seeing my belly swell up to about 9 months preg. overnight scared him, so much so that he is now increasing his travel time so as not to deal with any of it.
I am also trying to work out Dr. Info. Luckily we have insurance which makes it a lot easier. I have a GE near my home and one at Wash. Univ. St. Louis for big stuff.
Take care of yourself and keep coming back.
Prayers 4 U
Hi, Karen! I'm glad you've had a good day! So have I! I got a spa pedicure and manicure, which I desperately needed. Because of my artificial hips, I can't reach my toes and am not supposed to bring my thigh/knee up more than 90 degrees.
Are you on diuretics ("water pills") ??? I was never drained except when they were replacing drains on me that I'd had initially put in at the time of surgery. I had 2 drains clog up. The 3rd one worked, thank goodness! I'm on Lasix 40 mg and Aldactone 100 mg daily. Sometimes I cut the Lasix to 20 mg when I feel like I'm losing too much weight or getting dehydrated. The docs know I do this and are okay with it. Even when I looked like I was 9 mos. pregnant and weighed more than that, they did not want to drain me. The Mayo docs say there is risk of infection, which is something they try to avoid at all costs.
Going to see my PMD tomorrow for a Pap test. I'll be glad when that's done!
Here's hoping tomorrow will be a good day for you, also!
Klonk/Clare and Candlelight, I just wanted to welcome you both to the forum. I'd like to suggest that you both (individually) start a "new member" or "hello" thread on the Hepatitis forum, so your presence here will not be overlooked. Just tell a bit about what you are dealing with.
Personally, I have hep C (contracted in '68 or '69) that was diagnosed in '93, which caused liver cancer (now cancer-free after treatment and removal of the rt. lobe of liver) and cirrhosis. I've had other medical problems, as well, in the past few years, but am doing quite well now.
Hi Clare and Candlelight. I'm sorry you both have the need for this forum but you have come to the right place. We are all in a similar boat so we support each other. I hope we can give you support as well. Candlelight you have no idea how long I have waited to hear from someone that has had a live liver transplant. My husband has ESLD. He is on the transplant list but his son has started the process to give him part of his liver. I have wanted to talk to someone for so long that has had this. We go to Vanderbilt in Nashville and they have only done 4 live transplants thus far. Many other hospitals have done more. If you have time would you please e-mail me. I would love to ask you questions. Also if there is anything I can answer for you I will be glad to. It sounds like you could probably help a lot of us since you have been through it before. My thoughts are with you.
I'm with LaBunna on the fluid intake. My husband is restricted to 1500ml a day also and is still fighting the fluid problems. He takes 300 ML of Aldactone every morning and still has to be drained every three to four weeks. I think the fluid intake was one of his first restriction dealing with this disease.
I'm sorry I forgot to welcome you. The people in this forum are wonderful. I know you will find a wealth of information here as I have.

The Colket Center at Roanoke College was transformed into an International Affair the night of Nov. 14 for the school's 9th annual President's Ball. The theme this year was "Around the World" and students, faculty, and their guests were invited to come decked out in International wear or semi-formal attire.
Starting at 8p.m., those attending the President's Ball, commonly referred to as Pres. Ball, lined up at the front entrance of Colket Center to scan in with a Maroon Cards and sign in off-campus guests. Upon entrance, attendees were welcomed with multiple displays of International Flags and decorative lighting which transported students to places "Around the World" as the theme suggests.
This year, each room in Colket had a different designated destination for their themes. The main floor of Colket entertained students with a variety of countries. Staying true to tradition, the Dueling Pianos performed all night in Commons, yet this year, Commons was decorated to represent more than 20 of the Caribbean island countries. A backdrop of a tropical beach lined the windows on the outside of Commons. France was represented in Pickle as a French dessert room, complete with crème puffs and miniature Eiffel towers. Guests were also able to view a video of Roanoke College students' trips abroad. To top off the international theme on the main floor, the cash bar this year was themed as an Irish Pub.
Indian decorations and activities covered the entirety of the bottom floor of Colket. In the Cavern, a club-like dance scene was set up as tradition, but this year it was Bollywood themed. Like most years, there was a DJ provided to set the party tone; however, this year it was Roanoke's own Amber Isham, senior. This was Isham's first time DJing at Pres. Ball. Across from The Cavern in the TV lounge, attendees had the opportunity to try on traditional Indian Sarees and Scarves. Along with this, attendees could put on bindis and temporary Flash tattoos in "Salon India." Snack food was also available in the lower atrium.
Upstairs in the Wortman Ballroom, guests danced the night away to musical selections from the Domino's band and enjoyed the decorations that represented China. Each table had Chinese paper fans on them as souvenirs. Guest also had the option to enjoy a buffet of food in the upper level of Colket. Selections of food represented Italy and China.
Throughout Pres. Ball, a photographer from Roanoke Times set up backdrops and took snapshots of students and guests at a "Paparazzi" station. A candid photographer also circulated Colket during the ball and took photos of students as well.
All in all, the 9th annual President's Ball was another success for RC. Festivities closed around midnight, and all guests left in smiles and laughs with memories to last.
