We had a chance this week to catch up with one our favorite players and all around great guy, Duane T Jones. Duane is the founder and guitar player for Swirl. And right now you can vote Swirl "Band of the Month" on Firebrand Rock Radio. Duane plays a Pickboy MetaCarb Pos A Grip. You can read more about Duane here on his Osiamo artist page.
While we didn't attend this year's edition of Music China, two of our manufacturers were there showing some new products and attracting big crowds. Both Dr J and Mooer had sucessful shows and we look forward to releasing some new and very exciting products in the very near future.
Dr J introduced the Armor Buffer – more about this very cool and very useful pedal soon – and had Jose de Castro perform at their booth. There are some many more new products in the works and we'll keep you posted here with updates.
Mooer Audio introduced several new products at the show and was delighted to be joined by two artists that demonstrated the different product lines. The full line up of the popular Mooer Micro Series was displayed in the booth. Mooer is the leader in micro pedals – many of them are based on vintage sounds, others are unique to Mooer. All of them have the excellent Mooer design and tone, feature True Bypass and are housed in a tough metal shell.
One of our artists, Neil Zaza, gave a very passionate, awesome performance showcasing his signature pedal – The Juicer.
Artist Jose de Castro demo'd the brand new Spark series as well as many of our different amps and multi-effect pedals.
Tell us a bit about your musical background?
I've been playing guitar since age six taught by a local genius in the Bronx names Richie Giorgianni, was lucky enough to go to F.H. Laguardia Performing Arts High School and then study with some amazing masters at the Berklee College of Music where I was in a jazz fusion ensemble with 3 of the members of Imagine Dragons (Wayne, Ben, and Dan. Ben makes amazing cinnamon rolls.). I've since then had the pleasure of playing with many of NYC's phenomenal up and coming artists like Nisha Asnani and Mario Spinetti. I'll play with pretty much anyone, I just love sharing the experience. I've played in jazz bands, dance bands, rock/funk bands, big bands, kirtan combos in yoga studios, solo as a one-man band, with improv comedians, theater orchestras, my own vegas style shows, and much more. I enjoy playing in hospitals, retirement homes, prisons, rehabs and delivering live music to people that can't afford it or aren't able to go out and hear it. I love to play pretty much all styles of music and see all vibrations as being created equal, but especially like really spaced out soulful music that has a phat pocket groove with a catchy melody and room for improv with an eastern undertone that sounds like it was spat out by an extraterrestrial aboriginee. I recently went on a tour with Brother Joscephus and The Love Revolution and had a blast playing with them. If you haven't heard them, go see them live. It's an amazing experience.
I'm currently working on cruises in Australia and New Zealand as a one-man-act with a loop station. I loop guitar, bass, vocals, beat box, world percussion, household items and an iPod synth attached to my guitar with velcro while doing sorcery, mind reading, pranks, yodeling, vocal toning, animal noises on guitar, and a lil' comedy and speaking about holistic health and transcendence.
I've designed my own guitar along with Godin called Aurora. She's got a killswitch, sustaniac pickup, Stets Bar tremolo system, Slidefly slide holster, bone nut, harmonic overtone switch, and an iPod holder for synth and sound effects. If James Bond had a guitar, I'm pretty sure he'd want this one haha. It's a blast.
What are you working on right now?
Right now, I am working on an album trilogy with my band of extraterrestrial, inter-dimensional shamans called the KoZmiK CoLLeCtive. They and others like myself are part of a sleeper cell of a secret agency from the 9th Dimension called L.O.V.E. that zips through the inter-dimensional multiverse to spread love, color and liberation among it's many inhabitants. We've currently been driving around these earth-body machines to create a traveling sound healing festival on Earth that will incorporate vibrational sciences, integral education, holistic health, transcendental practices, performance and visual art, and more along with some and kick-ass music to heal people, empower them and bring out their love and special abilities. Check out some of the the music at www.jonnymantra.com.
We've recently patented an exciting new type of guitar slide called the Java Slide that's really going to shake up the music world. We're currently looking for a partner to team up with or license the patent to. You can check out the video.
I'm also working on an instructional video called "Strange Guitar" that will display tons of unorthodox, but useful tricks on the instrument along with some of the ones that players may have overlooked as well as another video on the topic of "Ultra-Creative Solo Guitar" that will hopefully extrapolate some fun new ideas out of solo musicians and bands alike. Check out some of the ensuing music and mischief at www.jonnymantra.com.
How would you describe the state of music right now?
As for the state of music right now, I think there's just so much going on and so much to explore. The quickly emerging technologies, population boom, growing cosmic awareness and the most access to culture and information that we've ever had can shine many paths to walk along if the interest of the individual is there. As long as the spirit of creativity and authenticity are kept alive and we don't forget where we've come from, we can expect lots of new and beautiful musical colors to emerge. I do think that music as a service to humanity, nature, and the universe has an infinite amount of implications that have yet to be explored by many. I feel that the more people think outside of the box while creating music, but do it in an accessible way, the bigger the impact it can have on a wider audience and raise the center of gravity of awareness and musical intelligence. The only way to charm a snake out of her basket is to first play her what she likes. Then you can show her the many colors and lights of your world. (Piss her off and you might get a bite on your ass filled with venom.)
What's coming up for you in the future?
In the near future I will be traveling all over the US with in my funky camper-party-van named "Iris the Space Van Love Machine" performing everywhere so look out for us this Summer 2014. We plan on visiting Eco-villages, Native American Reservations, festivals, bars, clubs, hospitals, random streets and subway stations, ashrams, temples, churches, parks, crop circles, vortexes and anywhere we can play and meet some really cool people and jam with some sweet musicians while picking up talent for the KoZmic CoLLeCtive Festivals. We'll need all the help we can get :). Videos and dates will be posted at http://www.jonnymantra.com . In the long term, I'm looking to run a Cafe/Healing Concert Venue/ Hostel/Permaculture inspired eco-village that will provide shelter for those who need it, and give people a place to let loose, be creative and evolve into the infinite beings that they're destined to bloom into.
What attracted you to Mooer pedals?
I love Mooer because the pedals are super small in size, quirky, and they sound amazing, but best of all they sound unique! They have really cool names too. I've been traveling all over the world and it's been so great to see these popping up in guitar stores on the most random places and islands in the middle of nowhere! I've been especially loving the sounds of the Lo Fi Audio Machine and the Bass Sweeper. I play a lot of spacey and funky music and it's really been enhancing my live performances. I'm really excited to do some recordings with them too. It's nice to see somebody doing something so different for such a great price, creative high quality, while conserving pedalboard space as an added bonus. You guys rock, your pedals turn heads and your videos are awesome and the people that you have demoing your pedals are brilliant artists! Thanks again for introducing these amazing new sonic bliss machines into the world. P.S. Pickboy pics are the s#!t!

How to compete with the much-hyped season premiere of "The Voice"?
The broadcast networks are going very different routes Monday. Fox has been teasing that the episode of "The Following,"at 9, will be especially chilling. Serial killer Joe (James Purefoy) sends two followers to kidnap his ex-wife, Claire (Natalie Zea). Yet the trailer suggests that our hero, Ryan (Kevin Bacon), may be ready for the villains. If you find "The Following" just too grim, you'll want to stay away from NBC's "Hannibal," which premieres next week. That serial-killer drama focuses on Hannibal Lecter.
Fox starts its Monday with a new episode of "Bones" at 8. The main plot: the death of an undercover police officer investigating ATM robberies. The offbeat drama serves up a lighter plot, too: Brennan (Emily Deschanel) has trouble being likable when filming a documentary to bolster the Jeffersonian. Being likable, however, has never been a problem for Deschanel.
CBS will counter with broad comedy from its sitcoms. Molly (Emmy-winner Melissa McCarthy) gets a very nasty sunburn when she goes on spring break with her sister on "Mike & Molly" at 9:30. Of course, sunburns may not be a laughing matter for you. (They never have been for me.).

Ted and Barney encounter future versions of themselves on "How I Met Your Mother" at 8 on CBS. Caroline is fired on "2 Broke Girls" at 9 on CBS. That wouldn't normally be a funny plot, either, but we'll see.
If you prefer unscripted comedy, there's always "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" at 9 on Bravo.
ABC rolls out the second performance episode of "Dancing With the Stars" at 8. D.L. Hughley was terrible last week; can he improve? Perhaps "Bachelor" star Sean Lowe will have a chance to answer reports that he's being a diva behind the scenes; executive producer Conrad Green has dismissed the reports. But you never know what will get people talking about a show, and "Dancing" needs all the attention as it takes on "The Voice."
"The Voice," at 8 on NBC, brings on new judges Shakira and Usher. The blind auditions begin on a show that NBC has sorely missed. No matter how the newcomers do, "The Voice" still has the powerful chemistry of Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
NBC then delivers "Revolution" at 10. The sci-fi drama about a world without electricity has been off the schedule since late November. NBC needs a strong return. The competition includes "Bates Motel" on A&E, fresh "Castle" on ABC and new "Hawaii Five-O" on CBS. Make no mistake: NBC's ratings will be the big story Tuesday morning.

Phil Sanchez comes to WNCN from WISH-TV, the CBS affiliate in Indianapolis, where he served as an anchor and reporter.
Phil began working in Indianapolis in 2007 and quickly made an impression, winning a regional Emmy and the Associated Press award just a year later.
Growing up in Queens , New York, Phil witnessed first-hand the terror attacks on Sept. 11. He was glued to the television watching coverage of the tragedy, and that tumultuous event inspired him to pursue a career in broadcasting.
Phil graduated from Adelphi University on Long Island with a degree in Sociology.
In 2004, he got his first taste of the television news business, reporting for Long Island News Tonight. A year later, Phil made his way to upstate New York covering Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties.
From there Phil moved down "The Shore," where he worked for News12 New Jersey, a 24-hour cable news operation in the New York City market.
Phil's true passion growing up was baseball, and he spent many summers on different baseball diamonds across New York.
Now he spends his time reporting the news, but he credits his athletic background for his success in broadcasting.
"Television news is a tough business. It takes discipline, hard work and a candid ability to laugh at yourself when you mess up. I will probably be laughing at myself a lot!" Sanchez joked.
Aside from work, he loves spending time with his family and friends, and is looking forward to making North Carolina home.
In his spare time Phil likes to work out, drink coffee and watch as much baseball as possible.

"I learned many valuable things from this experience including citizenship, community service and how to work with othe rmembers of a group." ~ Hilbert Student, Fall 2012
Students from Professor Jenelle Kostran's MA 135 Mathematical Applications present information on financial topics to a group at Homespace Corp.
"I knew I loved my human services classes and professors but now I'm positive this is the right career field for me."
~ Hilbert Student, Fall 2011
What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning ties a student's academic coursework with "real world" situations. Students can see the theories and issues they are discussing in class in a real life setting. In addition to boosting student learning and building awareness of community and social issues, students are exposed to new potential career opportunities and often experience a tremendous amount of personal growth.
Benefits to Students:
Engagement in service-learning has been demonstrated to show positive effects on students':
- Sense of personal efficacy and personal identity
- Spiritual growth
- Moral development
- Interpersonal development
- Ability to work well with others
- Leadership skills
- Communication skills
- Sense of social responsibility
- Citizenship skills
- Commitment to service
- Community involvement after graduation
- Academic learning
- Reduction in stereotyped thinking
(Adapted from:"At A Glance: What We Know about the Effects of Service-Learning on College Students, Faculty, Institutions and Communities, 1993-2000: Third Edition" by Janet S. Eyler, Dwight E. Giles, Jr., Christine M. Stenson, and Charlene J. Gray, August 31, 2001." )
Service-learning will be incorporated into certain courses at the discretion of the professor. When a course does include service- learning, service expectations will be outlined and explained at the beginning of the course. In some classes, students' service placements will be determined by the professor; in other classes, students may be allowed go choose their service sites. It is a good idea for all students to check with their professor and Hilbert's Service Learning Coordinator prior to beginning service activities, especially when students are given the opportunity to choose their own agencies to serve.
Students resources, such as time sheets and evaluations, can be found below. Students are expected to maintain accurate time records and complete evaluations and submit them to their professor or to the Service Learning Coordinator.
There are countless opportunities for students to learn through service to their community. In addition to the academic benefits, a number of local and national scholarships and grants are available for students engaged in service. Check the link below for these opportunities.
There are also a number of ways students can develop themselves professionally, including through the submission of their reflection exercises or a presentation proposal for a local or national workshop. Hilbert's Service Learning Coordinator will help any student interested in pursuing these opportunities. Please contact Denise Harris at 649-7900 ext. 236, email@example.com or stop by Franciscan Hall 104.

When you open a new tab from within a tab stack, AutoStack will place it inside the stack rather than next to it. This extension requires Opera 12.00.
By default, AutoStack will not stack Opera-specific pages such as Speed Dial, but due to a bug in Opera, AutoStack can only determine what is an Opera-specific page by checking its title. If your browser is not in English, you will have to go to AutoStack's preferences page and change the list of tabs to exclude.
Known Issues:
- Exclusions only work for internal tabs, since regular tabs' titles are "Blank Page" until the page has partially loaded. Eventually, I want the exclusions list to work on URLs instead of titles, but tab URLs are always undefined at tab creation time. Hopefully Opera will fix this.

Together with the Tab Accordion extension this works perfectly.
@ recusantphysis
If your browser is not in English, you have to add the translated name to the list in the Preferences.
In my danish version I just add a line with the word Kvikknapper. It works.
Very nice, but the feature to prevent Speed Dial from opening inside the group doesn't work for me. But that's because i use it with Tab Accordion. If this had the Tab Accordion feature it would be 5-stars.
very very useful!
must have extension
Великолепно +++
Help me to my mobile nokia 2680slide please.
Works like a charm
but also makes a mess of stacks in saved sessions
Works better them anothers
Been working pretty good so far.
The only major pain has been that opening links from external programs opens them in the current tab group instead of a new group (or more precisely, ungrouped tab).
I looked into it a bit and it seems Opera doesn't expose enough information for that to work properly.
I DID manage to get it working, sort of. I edited the registry to add "-newwindow" to the command line. Then I edited the AutoStack extension to detect if a new window was opened with a tab that it should handle, then force the new tab to the main window as a new tab outside any groups.
Not really a feasible solution for most people, though.
Well, you could try catch the onfocus and onblur events of windows and try to figure out the time difference between focusing the window and creating a new tab. Then again, this would cause problems if you click a link on an unfocused Opera window.
No easy solutions, but there's what I found so far. :P
using this
it's awesome

The guys build it and refisnihed it with the waterproof stained I had chosen. I was amazed at their hard work.

"Rails on porches were excellent in appearance and expertly installed. Disappointed with solution for garage rail that left smaller space at opening because of obstruction near base of steps. Solution was not discussed prior to installation.
"The project manager initially showed up, listened to our fencing needs and got us our proposal within two weeks. We were told that after a 50% deposit was made, that production would begin. One week later, the supervisor informed me that he needed to meet with me to go over the project due to an internal issue within their company. The supervisor promised to rewrite a new proposal and basically start over. Many calls were made to the supervisor that went unanswered and no proposal was ever emailed. Fence posts were set for 40% of the project one week later without a revised proposal. Two weeks later, I received a visit from a new project manager. He informed me that he would now be in charge. A new proposal still had not been received and this person promised to check on the production of my fence. Basically, a new proposal had never been crafted and the fence had not gone to production. This third person waited 10 days to get me a new proposal which included an increase in the price per linear foot. He claimed it was because the job had decreased in size from the first proposal. They scheduled an install date and never showed up until the day after the scheduled date. When installation began, the fencing and gates were not the size that they were supposed to be. It appears that the "custom" fence was now just some prefabricated pieces that were substituted to get the job done. The fence was tacked unevenly and there were gaps at the bottom, the gate was not the correct size and they were sent away without having finished the job until some kind of remediation could occur. This company is extremely disorganized and does not follow through with their commitments. I would not recommend them.

"His prices were low. But I had trouble gettting a hold of him after we wrote up the contract and I gave him a deposit. I got tired of tracking him down so I cancelled the contract and asked for my deposit back. Basically he hasn't responded to my phone calls. In short he has stolen my deposit. He does't have a license either. I should have known better than to trust him but he was recommended to me by my general contractor. In short, steer FAR AWAY from this guy.

One thing retirement does is give one plenty of time and opportunities to find some of the wackiest things in life.
This week, while vacationing in the Alleghany Mountains in Northwest North Carolina, I uncovered several little snippets while surfing the web. And I'd like to share one with you, one that I found most incredibly stupid and if it weren't so serious would also be hilarious.
It was on the internet's YouTube, which I don't open very often.
A television reporter was interviewing a top government official about the current policy of using one's taxes to pay for shortfalls of others, in short, a redistribution of wealth. This policy, as you know isn't new, but has prevailed for a couple of generations, since welfare became an entitlement.
Anyhow, this government official allowed as to how income taxes are a voluntary matter, not required. The reporter pressed him on the statement, and he stood by it, firmly, telling the reporter he doesn't know where he got the idea.
The reporter pointed that if you don't pay your taxes, Katy bar the door!, Uncle Sam would come looking for you with his hand out in the shape of a tin cup, and if you continue to ignore that open hand, you could be several punished, financially or physically with jail time on your horizon. "Oh no", said the official, "people don't go to jail for not paying their taxes, although some may, but income taxes are strictly voluntary".
This debate went on for severely minutes, on television, and the official adamantly refused to budge from his position.
Well, you and I know better, and so should the Government Official, who just happened to be one of the most powerful men in the country. His name? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Remember Friends, they walk among us.

Compliance is voluntary for paying your income taxes, just as is going the speed limit. There are laws and consequences for not following them but the responsibility is up to the individual to comply. The term 'voluntary' is the correct term applied to such a system.
Many countries make mandatory deductions from pay for their citizens. This is known as mandatory or compulsory compliance. While we have withholding tax mechanisms here in the US, it is up to the individual to compute the accuracy at the end of the year.

The great journalism paywall debate has picked up steam lately as more newspapers move away from the idea of giving away content for free in favor of a metered model for digital subscriptions, which charges readers after allowing a limited amount of access.
But the decision announced yesterday by Andrew Sullivan, one of the grandfathers of the blogging business, marks a departure in several important ways. For us here at The Audit, the urgency of the paywall debate has centered on the fate of regional newspapers—established, large news organizations like the Times-Picayune and The Washington Post, for whom the free model was wildly inappropriate, for reasons we've discussed.
But Sullivan's move to break from The Daily Beast and go it alone is different because his Daily Dish isn't a news site but a classic blog—running commentary on the news with a high degree of interaction with readers. This is a form born on the Internet and, for that reason, associated with the ethos of free content that for a while seemed built into the very structure of the Web. As we now see, the free ethos was in fact culturally determined, just something that a lot of people decided, and not inherent to news on the Internet.
So here are a few reasons why this will be an experiment to watch, plus one bonus reason why it's less a bellwether than it might first appear:
1. It's a blog. Again, this strikes me as a big deal. So far, news sites that are charging at least could argue that they were offering original reporting or new facts. It may not be much at times, but it was something. Here, the offer is original insight and voice. That strikes me as a departure in the paywall debate.
2. No ads. For me, this was a "wow" decision since, as Sullivan says in his announcement, digital ad revenue "provides a vital revenue stream for almost all media products." At first glance, digital ad revenue seems like money on the table that any site would want to pick up.
But as Sullivan testifies, ad revenue isn't free money after all:
But we know from your emails how distracting and intrusive it can be; and how it often slows down the page painfully. And we're increasingly struck how advertising is dominated online by huge entities, and how compromising and time-consuming it could be for so few of us to try and lure big corporations to support us. We're also mindful how online ads have created incentives for pageviews over quality content.
The last point is one we've been arguing about on a theoretical level. And here is now another data point that points up the built-in tension between free and quality work.
3. The no-ads decision makes this pretty much a pure bet on quality. With no alternative revenue stream, the site's fate will be determined entirely by individual readers' decision, after the free clicks run out and the paywall pops up, whether or not to pay. Whether the decision will be based on the quality of of the posts themselves or the quality of the overall experience, or something else, is an interesting question. But the pay model is designed, as Sullivan says, to support quality work.
4. The term "paywall" is becoming increasingly less useful. Sullivan says flatly, "There is no paywall. Just a freemium-based meter." It's a question of definition, I suppose, but readers will be allowed to click through a "read on" button lengthy posts only a limited number of times, "before we hit you up for $19.99."
That sounds like a wall.
Felix Salmon says the fact that the entire site is available for free, via a full RSS feed, means it's not a wall per se.

Youth and Family Services is there for those in need
by Shawn Yorks
Guymon Daily Herald
Sometimes the day-to-day pressure of just being a teen can be overwhelming. Peer pressure, family problems, stress and anxiety - all can lead to emotional problems, and sometimes crime.
That's where Western Plains Youth and Family Services comes in.
Most of the time, kids just need someone to listen and understand.
Jennifer West and Miranda Gilbert know exactly what to do.
They help teens and children overcome the stigma of seeing a counselor.
The duo counsels children ages 3-18 in their office at 306 NW 5th in Guymon.
Among the services available are outreach counseling, programs for repeat juvenile offenders and programs for first time juvenile offenders.
And while most of the clients are referred from Juvenile Services, kids don't have to be in trouble to benefit from the services offered.
We're looking for parents who think their children could use a little guidance, West said. We have two different services (for that) and it's a free service.
Added Gilbert: (Services are available) regardless of who you are. It doesn't have to be a negative thing to come to counseling.
The Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) is a 7-week class, one-day a week, that lasts two hours.
We focus on communication, anger management, problem-solving, West said.
We teach a communication technique called the speaker/listener technique that teaches a better way to communicate without letting things get out of hand.
PREP is available to any parent and child. Parents are required to attend the class, as well.
It's a parent/child program, the child can't come by themselves, West said. We teach a full belief system and the way people are different.
Outreach counseling offers individual and group counseling as well as crisis intervention, community education and community development. Those services are offered to youth and families in area schools and is also free of charge.
It is basically a one-on-one counseling for youths who may need a little bit of guidance on their own, West said. We draw up a treatment plan of services that we think will be of full benefit to them, covering such things as decision-making or living skills. Anything that helps them.
That could also include drug and alcohol education But the counselors are available for other problems, as well, such as grief counseling.
We've had several young adults who have died in car accidents in the past year, West said. We go into the school and we meet with the kids who feel like they need to talk to someone (about it).
Individuals or families are often referred by friends or other family members, which is sometimes a difficult prospect.
People who are in a relationship don't necessarily see a problem, Gilbert said. It's normal to them. But people who are on the outside know it can't be this way forever. We've got to fix it.
West has been counseling for about 15 months, and Gilbert started three months ago. Both are well qualified and state-certified, and anxious to help more people.
At first it was a little difficult for me, West said. Because I just started with the first offenders and PREP program. The more I did it and the more I saw what I could do, and these kids listen. I get excited now.
It's a pretty good feeling.
Once the kids overcome the stigma of seeing a counselor, they develop a good relationship with their counselors.
I've had several kids who have come back to see me, West said. Before, they might have been ashamed to have to see a counselor. But now they've gotten through everything. You can hear a different tone in their voice.
Most of the time, problems stem from a lack of communication. And that's something both the children and parents learn in the course of the program.
Sometimes it is just a communication problem, West said.
Once they learn a better way to communicate, and look at it in a different way, they realize they can fix (the problem).
West has a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. Gilbert has a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology. Both hold several state certifications.
Everything we do is based on approved research, West said.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America launched its enhanced Blue Link® in-vehicle telematics platform at Pepcom's Digital Experience, right before the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®) in January. The second-generation Blue Link system will be available when the all-new 2015 Genesis goes on sale this Spring and the rollout continues with the debut of the 2015 Sonata later in the year. One of the next generation Blue Link system's breakthrough features is its upgraded destination search powered by Google™ Places API. Today, Hyundai Motor America is announcing the same Google-powered destination search will be available to the more than 500,000 current Hyundai owners who have the first-generation Blue Link system installed in their U.S. vehicle.

"Now, if one of our subscribers or potential subscribers reaches up and presses the Blue Link or Enhanced Navigation button they will have access to Google's search accuracy and Google Maps' destination location information when they search for U.S. destinations," said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, Customer Connect and Service Business Development, Hyundai Motor America. "When it comes to search engines, speed and relevant results is the name of the game and now the Blue Link in-vehicle system has the same search quality as a customer's smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop."
The key to this technology is that Google searches can be performed via voice recognition and the destination can then be sent to their Hyundai without the use of a smartphone while driving.

Formulas and Functions
An important feature of the Excel spreadsheet program is that it allows you to create
formulas that will automatically calculate results. Otherwise, it is not much more than a large table for displaying text.
A formula is an equation that makes calculations based on the data in your spreadsheet. Formulas are entered into a cell in your worksheet. They must begin with an equal sign, followed by the addresses of the cells that will be calculated upon, with an appropriate operand placed in between. Once the formula is typed into the cell, the calculation executes immediately. The formula itself can be viewed in the formula bar
In the example below, a formula has been created for calculating the subtotal of a number of textbooks. This formula multiplies the quantity and price of each textbook, and then adds the totals to give the combined cost of all books.
Linking Worksheets
It is possible to create a formula that uses data from two different worksheets. This can be done within the same workbook or across different workbooks. The base formula is written as "sheetname!celladdress" when linking cells from worksheets within the same workbook. The base formula is written as "[workbookname.xlsx]sheetname!celladdress" when linking cells from different workbooks. For example, the value of cell A1 in Worksheet 1 and cell A2 in Worksheet 2 can be added using the formula "=A1+Sheet2!A2". Similarly, suppose Worksheet 1 was in a workbook named Book1.xlsx, and Worksheet 2 was in a workbook called Book2.xlsx, the same cells could be added using the formula "=[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1+A2". This formula would of course be entered inside Sheet2 of Book2.xlsx.
Relative, Absolute, and Mixed Referencing
Calling cells by just their column and row labels (such as "A1") is called relative referencing. When a formula contains relative referencing and it is copied from one cell to another, Excel does not create an exact copy of the formula. It will change cell addresses relative to the row and column they are moved to. For example, if a simple addition formula in cell C1 "=(A1+B1)" is copied to cell C2, the formula would change to "=(A2+B2)" to reflect the new row.
To prevent this from happening, cells must be called by absolute referencing. This is accomplished by placing dollar signs "$" within the cell addresses in the formula. Continuing the previous example, if the formula in cell C1 reads "=($A$1+$B$1)", the value of cell C2 will be the sum of cells A1 and B1. Both the column and row of both cells are absolute and will not change when copied. Mixed referencing can also be used where the row OR column is fixed, but not both. For example, in the formula "=(A$1+$B2)", the row of cell A1 is fixed and the column of cell B2 is fixed.
Basic Functions
Functions can be a more efficient way of performing mathematical operations than formulas. For example, if you wanted to add the values of cells D1 through D10, you would type the formula "=D1+D2+D3+D4+D5+D6+D7+D8+D9+D10". A shorter way would be to use the SUM function and simply type "=SUM(D1:D10)". Several other function commands and examples of functions are given in the table below:
|Finds the sum of cells A1 through A100
|Finds the average of cells B1 through B10
|Returns the highest number from cells C1 through C100
|Returns the lowest number from cells D1 through D100
|Finds the square root of the value in cell D10
|Returns the current date (leave the parentheses empty)
The Function Wizard
Excel has menus of other available functions that can be accessed using the Function Wizard. To select a function using the Function Wizard, follow these steps:
- Click the cell where the function will be placed.
- Click the Insert Function button in the Formulas tab in the Function Library group. The Insert Function dialog box will open.
- Note: The same Insert Function button can be found at all times right to the left of the Formula Bar and to the right of the Name Box.
- Select a function category from the Category drop-down menu.
- Select the type of function from the Select a function scroll-down menu. A description and example of the function will appear below the menu.
- Click OK. The Function Arguments dialog box will open.
- Choose the cells that will be included in the function.
- When all the cell values for the function have been entered, click OK.
Use the Autosum function to add the contents of a cluster of adjacent cells.
- Highlight the group of cells that will be summed (cells B2 through G2 in this example).
- Click the Formulas tab.
- Click the Autosum button.

Judgement on Cortese needs to be reserved
Not for the first time, Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese has put himself in the firing line. Last Friday, Cortese unexpectedly sacked the club's popular manager Nigel Adkins and replaced him with former Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino. But the single-minded Italian is unlikely to flinch amid the storm he has created.
Cortese, a battle-hardened, hugely ambitious 42-year-old, is as ruthless as he is professional, as demanding as he is fearless. Whether you like or loathe the way he goes about his business, he deserves to take a hearty share of the credit for a Southampton revival that has been orchestrated in his own unique style.
The Southampton Cortese was placed in charge of in summer 2009 after German-born Swiss businessman Markus Liebherr and his family ploughed some of their vast fortune into the club was in such a mess that rebranding the Saints' image was as important as starting from scratch in building a team that could set them on the march once more.
Initially, former banker Cortese put himself forward as the front man of a revolution in which he would call the shots, with his interviews in the media frequently causing a stir as he set lofty targets back in the days when the team were taking on the likes of Yeovil and Colchester.
Yet Cortese had a dream and, fuelled by the Liebherr cash, pieced together a plan that rapidly put Southampton back on track, with his move to hire experienced manager Alan Pardew as his first touchline mouthpiece proving beneficial despite constant suggestions of personality clashes between the two.
The opinionated Cortese was never likely to gel with the equally self-confident Pardew, but the pair tolerated each other through a turbulent first season that ended with the Johnstone's Paint Trophy being won and a remoulded squad ready to launch an assault on far more lucrative dreams.
Were it not for the ten-point penalty imposed on Southampton after their slide into administration, promotion could have been attained in that first season, but Cortese and Pardew were destined to part before it was achieved.
The Italian's decision to keep Pardew in place through the summer of 2010 was as curious as his move to sack him after a 4-0 away win at Bristol Rovers only five games into a new season - but such are the ways of the Saints chairman.
And after back-to-back promotions were secured by Adkins, his departure was even more shocking, coming as it did after a fine away win at Aston Villa and a 2-2 draw against European champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
They were, in the eyes of many, unfathomable decisions - but Cortese will argue, with more than a little justification, that he has earned the right to run the club as he sees fit.
Ask those close to him and they will tell you that his drive and passion to turn Southampton into a major Premier League player cannot be questioned, with the level of professionalism he has brought to the club helping to transform it into one fit to compete in the upper echelons of the English game all over again.
The lengthy hours he puts in, the support he has given to his managers and players, which helped to give them a Premier League-style mindset in League One, and his meticulous eye for detail have helped to ensure the Southampton revival will continue to be run his way, whether his detractors like it or not.
His personal image has not been helped by a serious of PR gaffes that started with his bid to get media organisations to pay to take photographs at St Mary's Stadium, while his move to insist that the front cover of the matchday programme for the first game of last season was dominated by an image of himself was another error of judgement, leading to accusations that his ego was a little out of control.
His ongoing spats with club legends such as Matt Le Tissier have hardly boosted his personal profile and, now that his initial eagerness to face the media has been replaced by a more reclusive approach in the last year or so, it is hard for Saints fans to read how he goes about his work.
Yet before they rush to judgement and convict their chairman of being a villain in their otherwise positive script, judgement on a man whose reputation has been tarnished by the loud voices of discontent he tends to attract should be reserved.
Cortese may be hard to love, and even more tricky to read, but there may come a day when Southampton fans look back on this era as the most stable their club has enjoyed in many a long year. Time will tell.

After two researchers assert that AVG's antivirus software for Windows Phone is "scareware," Microsoft removes the app from its marketplace.
Standing by its antivirus app for Windows Phone after Microsoft removed it from the Marketplace, AVG has responded to some of the complaints leveled against the software.
This story originally reported that the Do-Not-Track add-on could only be installed with the AVG Toolbar. AVG has confirmed that the two are separate installations.
The world's most downloaded free antivirus program is headquartered in Prague, but the heart of AVG pumps computer security from the Czech Republic's other major city, Brno. CNET editor Seth Rosenblatt tours the campus to see how AVG builds its antivirus protection.
AVG Free might've flagged just a little in the past few years, but it's back with a shorter install, better usability, and faster scans.

If you're a wallet-in-the-back-pocket type of guy and you find yourself sitting like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it's likely because your carry-all has been carb-loading. Or at least saving its Olive Garden receipts a little too long. This supple leather cardholder makes more sense for the slim, aerodynamic—and, frankly, Mediterranean—cut of men's pants these days.
I went with this wallet, because I too have fallen for having a overstuffed wallet that just had too much stuff in it! This thing is crisp and clean. It has everything you need in it and doesn't have that clunky feel like my old wallet.
Card pocket on either side of the central pocket can hold 2 cards each fairly comfortably. and the central pocket can keep a good amount of cash before getting bulgy.
Leather looks beautiful. I'm sure it will age very well. My only concern is that the side seams appear to have been sealed with a liquid vinyl, so I have concerns about how the edges will age/if it will start to fray.
I've been experimenting with slim wallets after rocking a super thick billfold for too many years. This wallet has been almost perfect, easy access to any card's that I need (I can fit 6 comfortably: id, credit, debit, health insurance, metro, coffeeshop rewards).
My only issue, and it is a little one, is that the middle pocket isn't quite wide enough to easily fit your fingers into to pull out individual bills. I usually just end up pulling out a wad of bills.
I bought one of these to carry my work ID and metrocard instead of fishing through my purse every time. I love it, except I find it so handy that I want to stuff it more stuff but alas, it won't fit.

Emerald Princess entered service in May, 2007, a true sister to the Crown Princess and a near sister ship to the 2,600-passenger Grand Princess presented in 1998, once the biggest cruise ship at sea, though that didn't last for long. Emerald Princess comes in at a heftier 113,00-tons and carries about 410 more passengers at a capacity of 3080. Therefore, as opposed to the eerily empty feeling you can get aboard the spacious 2700-passenger Grand-class vessels, on these ships you get more of a feel of "abuzz with activity", akin to the 110,000-ton Conquest-class ships of Carnival that can hold as many as 3400 passengers.
However, thanks to shrewd layout, multiple dining venues, four expansive outdoor deck areas (1.7 acres!), multiple sports facilities, four pools, and nine hot tubs, passengers are rarely concentrated in any one area. Meanwhile, the mega-ship amenities included for those who can never get enough dining, entertainment, spa and fitness choices, means the Princess ships of this class make the best of everything for ships in this size and price range. Their programs for younger passengers are exemplary, and their Lido buffet dining spot is open around the clock.
One new feature which is a first for Princess with the sister Crown Princess is the Sanctuary, an adults-only spa-like space on the upper-most forward deck featuring quiet music and surroundings of lush greenery referred to by Princess as a "pocket of tranquility". There are outdoor cabanas where one can receive full massage services from the onboard Lotus Spa, or there are casual neck and shoulder massages available. The space also offers signature beverages and light meals such as smoothies, energy drinks, flavored waters and lemonade. A menu features fruit skewers, lettuce wrapped spring rolls, and spicy tuna.
An adjunct to the Sanctuary is the Thermal Suite, an area within the spa offering steam saunas infused with aromatherapy essential oils such as eucalyptus or lavender, a dry sauna, rainmist showers and heated ceramic "zero-gravity" beds to rest upon after your steam.
Another new feature is a spiced-up atrium known as The Piazza, featuring the a 24-hour International Café with sandwiches, tapas and special coffees available for very reasonable prices; and Vines, a wine bar where one can get expert advice from the on duty sommelier and sample a variety of fine wines by the glass. On the Piazza stage, various entertainers will appear seemingly out of nowhere to amuse and entertain you; jugglers, close-up magicians, tumblers and an assortment of costumed oddities.
Emerald Princess also offers "Movies Under the Stars," a huge (300 sq. ft) flat panel rear-projection video screen and 6900 watts of sound power to show up to four different near first-run films daily outdoors above the pool. This was such a hit on Caribbean Princess that the concept was added to all the large Princess ships. On some ships they hand out headphones to viewers to alleviate complaints from nearby cabins.
Having offered the first wedding chapel at sea (with the Captain doing the honors) on Grand Princess, Emerald Princess also offers true marriages at sea, as well as vow renewals. A complete professional digital photography studio in the F/X Digital Photo Center is perfect for those all-important wedding photos. The medical center is one of the most advanced at sea, the first to offer real-time teleconferencing support from a leading national cardiac care center in the United States.
The most incongruous, and arguably pleasing, factor about these mega-ships is that the public rooms aren't much bigger than those on much smaller ships giving it the feel of a much smaller ship than it really is. The one oddity of the "Grand-class" design is the compromised privacy of most balconies that extend out from the ship in a pyramid-like stacking arrangement which allows people from several decks above can look right down into your "private" enclave. From the Deck 11, for instance, you can watch other passengers on deck nine and ten balconies. Deck 10 occupants can in turn observe their counterparts on the Deck nine.
With a dozen or so venues for nightlife, you're virtually assured of finding something that floats your boat, to coin a phrase. There's no faulting the lavishness of the production shows, which feature extravagant special effects. The performers in the cabaret are a talented bunch. As stated, the theater itself is rather cramped and not easy to escape unnoticed.
The Internet room on these Grand-class ships do not qualify as "cafés" as there are no café-style treats available. Another drawback is the limited number of wi-fi wireless enabled areas on the ship, pretty much limited to the piazza area. It is too bad to see a modern ship without Internet access in the cabins. The connection speed was spotty, but usually fast enough to be workable. Tech support was almost invisible, but fellow passengers are knowledgeable enough these days to help in almost any situation.
The casino has all of the standard slot machines, including nickel and even penny machines - a great way to waste away your day with little risk to your pocket book. There is craps, roulette, blackjack (also face-up blackjack), and other table games. The most noticable new attraction is a video screen driven Texas Hold'em table where up to eight players compete against each other, but the antes and raises are limited to $3 to $6 per round. This can add up when all the palyers are involved, but it keeps the pots reasonable enough in size that it's unlikely anyone is going to pull out a six-shooter to snatch the pot and ride out of town.
It is rare to find such ample fitness facilities, especially when you add in the Sanctuary and the thermal suite which serve as extensions to the existing spa and offer many of the same services and more. The thermal suite is offered for $10 per day, or at a reduced price for the entire cruise, reduced even further for pre-paying couples. Costs will be pro-rated if you decide to join mid-cruise.
The four pools, including a "swim-against-the-current" lap pool, are uniformly gorgeous, thanks in no small part to colorful mosaics and surrounding palm trees. Low marks, though, to whoever decided to put the separate jogging track right above the spa, as the relentless thundering of hooves overhead isn't terribly conducive to one's enjoying her massage or beauty treatment. Even though prices are substantially higher than ashore, spa services are very popular, especially in the afternoon. You'll occasionally have to stand in line for some of the more popular workout apparatuses in the gym. There's a wrap-around promenade deck for long walks, a golf simulator and 9-hole putting green, and courts for basketball, volleyball or tennis.
What can you say about a ship that offers three main dining rooms instead of the usual multi-tiered, bigger than life one? They are more intimate and definitely quieter, but the decor is not likely to elicit a "wow" response either. There are three dining rooms, two dedicated to "personal choice" dining which means open seating and country-club casual dress nightly from 5:30 to 11:00 p.m. For the more traditional minded, the third dining room, deck six aft, offers the standard cruise line seating, early at 6:30 and late seating at 8:15 (subject to change). Diners are assigned tables and tablemates, and are serviced at the same time and by the same waiters every night.
Unlike many cruise lines, Princess does not have an executive chef designing the recipes for the entire fleet. Each ship has its own executive chef who is responsible for the menu creation. This means cuisine is more tailored the region the ship is cruising, a nice touch. It also gives the chef the ability to change food selection according to passenger response. In talking to the executive chef on board, we were told that the best food is served in the open seating restaurants (though the menus are identical in all three main dining rooms) because of the ability to cook food as it is ordered, rather than according to a pre-determined time schedule. Our food always arrived hot and perfectly prepared.
The ship offers two alternative dining spots carrying cover charges. First is Sabatini's Trattoria where guests are required to try a little bit of everything on the menu, the only choice being your main course. The second premium dining option is Emeralde Grill, featuring chops and seafood, and the one we preferred.
The three principal restaurants, Island, Coral and Palm Dining Rooms, seating just over 500 passengers, feature hand-painted murals and etched-glass partitions. The drapes and carpeting in the main dining areas absorb sound efficiently enough to preclude diners having to holler across the table to one another.
Personal Choice Dining offers either traditional cruise dining (In the Amalfi), with a set seating time (6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.) and the same waiter and tablemates each evening, or new restaurant-style seating, allowing passengers to dine when and with whom they choose, with each party seated at its own table, as at a restaurant ashore (offered in the other two dining rooms). Restaurant-style diners may be seated in either of the two elegant main dining rooms any time between 5:30 and midnight. Many passengers are understandably grateful for this reprieve from having to hurry to dress for dinner in the traditional way after a long day ashore.
Sabatini's Italian Tratorria dining begins with focaccia bread and olive oil. next comes a wonderful selection of Italian antipasti, complemented with Sevruga caviar, delicious seafood salads, homemade pastas, and soups. Salads are tossed before your very eyes, and soup ladled into fresh bread bowls. Seafood predominates on the list of main courses; there are lobster, langoustines, tiger prawns, Chilean sea bass and scallops, with red meat dishes also on offer. Save room for the exquisite Italian pastries that will be wheeled before you toward meal's end. The service charge is $20 per person.
The Emerald Grill, featuring Angus beef and seafood specialties all custom-prepared in an open, theater-style kitchen, is the restaurant most preferred. The courses are served traditionally; salad, appetizer, soup, main course and dessert. The difference is in the quality and careful preparation. Using our meal as a sample, the carpaccio of pine nut-coated lamb loins with gooseberry chutney was the most unusual and delicious carpaccio I have ever tasted. Soups and salads include rockfish chowder or marinated goat's cheese. Main courses include a four-ounce Maine lobster tail, or for an additional $9.99 you can have an entire 24 to 32-ounce lobster, split and either grilled or steamed (your choice). Other main courses (no extra charge) are steaks of every traditional cut, lamb rack, pork, veal or beef chops; and seafoods including mussel pot, striped bass and tiger prawns or Australian barramundi. The recommended dessert choice is the chef's sampler which includes a small portion of every dessert offered. Service charge is $25 per person.
The Horizon Court is open 24 hours per day, with menu service at night, plus casual breakfast and luncheon buffet. There's also a festive pizzeria. For $100 per couple, you can book the Ultimate Balcony Dinner, to be served by a butler who discreetly makes himself scarce behind drapes or out in the hall between courses. The ship's photographer snaps a complimentary photo while you're eating.
At night, the Horizon Court restaurant is transformed into Cafe Caribe, offering a self-service buffet of tasty hot food in a very casual setting. Once seated there is full waiter service at fully set tables for drinks or anything else you may need. The courses change nightly, and it stays open until 4:00 a.m. (when breakfast begins). There is no service charge.
Room service on Princess ships is probably among the most limited you will find in this price range. They will not serve you a hot breakfast unless you opt for the $25 per person champagne balcony indulgence. They will bring you hot coffee, juice, rolls, cereal and yogurt. Lunch and dinner include the usual club sandwich, hamburgers and apple pie. There is no option to choose from the dining room menu, even during regular dinner hours. If you want a hot, fresh pizza they are delicious and enough for two people, but there is a $3 delivery charge.
The International Café in the Piazza offers a number of tidbits for just $1 apiece, including shrimp salads, tapas style hors d; oeuvres, and the best "service charge" items on the ship, the six scoops (choice of three different flavors) of real Italian gelato for a mere $1.50. You won't mind paying since the portion is more than enough for two people and includes toppings.
While Princess has a well-deserved reputation for good service securely footed in its British roots, truly personalized service may be too much to expect on a ship this size. That noted, cabin stewards and waiters are both efficient and personable. And rote processes that should be standardized and well executed on other ships but often fail miserably, such as efficient disembarkation, are generally practiced and polished to the point of excellence here.
A charge of $10 per person per day (including children) is automatically added to your stateroom account for dining and stateroom personnel. This applies to all passengers, adult and child alike, whether or not they choose traditional or personal choice dining. The amount may be increased or lowered at the Purser's Reception desk during the cruise.
A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to all beverage tabs. Gratuities for spa, casino and other staff are at your discretion. Every room service delivery must be signed for, and next to the signature line is the opportunity to add a gratuity - hint, hint.
Seven- to 14-night cruises offer two opportunities to put on the Ritz in formal attire. Many men opt for dark suit instead of tux, while their distaff companions often prefer dressy pants to gowns. The rest of the time, think smart casual. Formal attire is only required in the traditional dining rooms, though most people opt to dress up no matter where they are headed that night.
Unlike the theme park atmosphere of some other cruise lines, the décor on Princess ships extends an understatedly elegant and refined atmosphere, with hand-painted murals and etched glass partitions in the dining rooms. Little apparent expense was spared on materials, with rich fabrics, beautiful woods, and marble everywhere, all topped off with a $2 million art collection aboard each ship. The cabins are tastefully decorated in soft, inoffensive shades -- beiges, creams and muted pinks.
Public Areas:
The main gathering spot, the three deck tall, open Piazza, has boutiques, the 24-hour International Café, the Internet access room, the Vines wine-tasting room and and passenger services, all connected by circular glass staircases and glass elevators. It's the best people-watching place on the ship, especially when there's a string quartet playing a piece you adore, but watch out for the street performers who will sneak up on you and make you a captive audience of two. Among the nearby public rooms are the casino, entrances to the two open-seating dining rooms, and the shore excursions desk.
We favor the maritime-themed Wheelhouse Bar, full of memorabilia and paintings, not to mention comfortable leather wingback chairs, a small dance floor, and a piano singalong motif that will make you want to use it. The safari-themed Explorer's Club offers cabaret, trivia competitions, art auctions, and between-meals dancing. The gigantic Casino contains some 285 slot machines and gaming tables beyond counting. You can relax in the Cigar Lounge, or recline in leather chairs while perusing any of hundreds of books in the beautiful library.
The main showroom, the Princess Theater, presents production shows, cabaret, comedians and magicians. With seating for 1600 we found it unusually cramped with airplane-like seats jammed together and not enough footspace to allow for fast escapes during a brief production show set changes. Once you're in there, your stuck for the entire show unless you sit on the aisle. The upside is that everyone has a great view of the stage.
The Club Fusion Showlounge offers live dance combos for various kinds of music, Latin or Rhythm & Blues. Karaoke contests and theme-parties such as a "'60s British Invasion" also happen nightly. Later on, it doubles for a secondary disco for those who get light-headed scaling the heights to Skywalkers, the real disco on high at the stern of the ship. Unlike the smaller Grand-class vessels, however, Skywalkers is no longer suspended high in the air. It lies on Sky Deck and now has a large balcony included for smokers and those who favor the wind-blown look.
Cabins are built out from the body of the ship so as to permit bigger staterooms. 710 of the 1300 staterooms have balconies, ranging up to 257 sq. feet, but the balconies are not very private, as they're in plain view of the occupants of the cabin on the next deck up. Standard inside staterooms are 160 sq. ft., while outside cabins range from 168 to 210 sq. feet. Mini-suites with private verandas are 325 sq. feet. Vista Suites, called mini-suites on other Princess ships, range from 515 to 800 sq. feet. Sun and Dawn Princess offer larger minisuites for less money.
Closet space is minimal except in the suites; leave some things home! There are launderettes available on nearly every passenger deck, with coin-operated washers & dryers, ironing boards and soap and softener for sale in vending machines.
All staterooms have color TV with CNN and movies, a radio and small refrigerator, suites have spacious bathrooms with storage space and hair dryers, but any cabin of balcony category or less has a tiny bathroom with "huggy" shower curtains and barely enough rack space for towels for two.

Get your probiotics refrigerated

Posted by NBPT100 From Massachusetts on Apr 16, 2013

I am a beliver in probiotics. However poor shelf life can be an issue. Probiotics are not stable for very long at room temperature. If the temperature goes higher there are no guarantees what may be left living. This is no disrespect to iHerb, but I now buy my probiotics from a health food store that keeps them refrigerated or I buy from a vendor that will ship them in ice packs. This was not shipped in Ice. Infact the manufacturer says it is not required. Regardless of that, I keep mine refrigerated. I highly recommend to keep your probiotics refrigerated. Even if it claims to be ok not to do so. Also, look for glass bottle packaging or individually packaged capsules (blister packaging) as this will help with the shelf life. Look for a broad range of strains in any probitic you buy. Seven or more. The Lacto bacteria are for the small intenstine and the Bifo are for the large intestine. You can also take a prebiotic(food for the probiotic) that will help the probiotics thrive. Prebiotics include inulin, FOS, and foods like onions, garlic, bananas and leeks. Also consider NAG. Take your probiotic on an empty stomach with water mixed with bit of lemon or lime. This will help it move through the stomach faster (stomach acid will kill them) and into the intestine where it needs to be. I did use an entire bottle of this product and I found very little benefit from it. Probaly for the reasons I outlined above. If you found this review helpful, kindly visit my iHerb home page by clicking on my handle name above. You will see my other value added reviews. Peace and good health.

I've had 2 bouts of stomach flu within the last 6 - 8 weeks & during that time I was taking another brand of probiotic with 7 billion CFU's. I saw this product on iherb and decided to give it a go, I commenced taking these about a week after my last bout of stomach flu and during the first 4 days experienced bloating, gas & diarrhea. I was almost going to throw these away in disgust thinking I had caught the tummy bug yet again and the probiotic wasn't working but I read online reviews that advised what I was experiencing are common side effects when taking probiotics and symptoms usually last between 1 - 2 weeks. So I persevered. After the 4 days my tummy settled, I was still a little bloated and has loose stools. During the next 3 - 4 days I developed a mid range fever, after more research I found that this is a less common side effect that is thought to be caused by a disruption to the immune system either by the introduction of the good bacteria or the good bacteria actually doing their job and killing off the bad bacteria. So again I persevered. I have now been taking these a little over a week and the symptoms have all gone, I am starting to feel a lot better than I have in a long time (I have experienced loss of energy and general malaise since November when i had a bad chest infection). It does feel as though these good little bacterial guys have fought off all the bad stuff that has been in my system and I am now feeling refreshed and energized. I have already repurchased the larger size bottle and will continue to take these supplements.

I've being suffering from several years from GERD symptoms like sore throat, coughing, burping, a feeling like there was something stuck in my throat and voice changes. After spending thousand of dollars with medics and exams they said I didn't have anything so I decided to investigate it myself and gave a chance to probiotic. All these symptoms started to improve 3 days after I started taking it (I use 2 or 3 pills a day). Also, some skin problems like Keratosis Pilaris seems to be improving. My allergies are getting better and I feel very energetic because I no longer have digestion problems. Will buy these pills as long as they produce. Healthy Origins has the best amount (in billions) of good bacteria than other brands. Oh, they also survive in room temperature which is fantastic. 5 stars!!

I am pregnant and I read that probiotics are really important during pregnancy, as they can help avoid autism. I take them on empty stomach and I keep them in the fridge to ensure freshness.Dr Mercola complete probiotics are very good too! Click on my username for more reviews!

Prepare for die off symptoms

When I first took this I had diarrhea for 4 days. I also had flu-like symptoms for a day. My gut would rumble with gas minutes after digesting this probiotic. However, after those first 4 days the die off symptoms subsided. I guess it killed a lot of yeast. So if you experience any die off symptoms, just push forward and the symptoms should go away eventually.

The FIBA Europe UNIVERSITAS team and the European Observatoire of Sport and Employment (EOSE) came together for the first time ever in Munich, Germany this week.
The meeting at the headquarters of FIBA Europe in the Bavarian capital, consisted of updates from both organisations and a discussion concerning future working cooperation and planning strategies.
In attendance were FIBA Europe Secretary General Nar Zanolin, FIBA Europe Head of Operations Miguel Betancor, Alejandro Vaquera of UNIVERSITAS and Alan Richardson from the FIBA Europe Referee Department.
Aurelien Favre, Ben Gittus and Matthias Guett represented EOSE.
"This was very positive and a stepping stone for the realisation of the long-term goals of UNIVERSITAS," commented Miguel Betancor.
"FIBA Europe is very keen to enlist the support of the EOSE in developing the wide, inclusive programmes proposed by the FIBA Europe UNIVERSITAS project."
Topics such as Life Long Learning, Technical Standards, Volunteers, Social Inclusion and Basketball Research were discussed.
It was agreed that EOSE would propose to FIBA Europe an initial project focussing on Research in Basketball, Social Networking and Technical Standards. The two parties will meet again in early 2012.
"We were very happy to meet with FIBA Europe about our future collaboration in the UNIVERSITAS project," said Aurelien Favre, EOSE Executive Director.
"EOSE is pleased to contribute to the development of education and training for basketball in Europe, and the increased profile of basketball at the European level. The future work between our organisations will provide a real opportunity to develop the coaches, officials and others who work in basketball through a focus on research and standards development.
"There is a clear alignment of the objectives of the European Union, EOSE and FIBA Europe around mobility, social inclusion and innovation. EOSE believes this working relationship can be beneficial to both organisations and the development of basketball in Europe," he concluded.
