The Tamar Valley area has a famous market gardening tradition, and our farmer's markets are all well worth a visit. Fresh, seasonal local veg, delicious cakes, buns, scones and jams, and locally reared meats are some of the foody delights to be found at our many local markets. Many of them also offer local crafts, beer, art and sculpture and all of them are fascinating places for a wander round and a chat with the stall-holders.
|Tavistock Pannier Market
Nestled behind the Town Hall, and just off the busy high street, there is a shoppers' paradise and one of the hidden gems of Tavistock. In the centre of this beautiful pedestrianised area you will find the historic Pannier Market surrounded by some fantastic independent shops and cafes. Inside the Market building itself you can discover a wide range of traders, artists and crafts people offering a personal service with quality goods at competitive prices.

Most markets are held in the mornings but it was decided to hold this in the afternoon as there has been nowhere in the village for the increasing number of visitors to get a cup of tea and refreshment. Altarnun has appeared as the venue for the marriage of Doc Martin and Louisa as well as featuring in Daphne Du Maurier's Jamaica Inn.

Garvey, John and others inch closer to Hall of Fame
Just received this release from the Hall of Fame, which puts Steve Garvey, Tommy John and others closer to enshrinement than they've ever really been before.
Expansion Era Committee to Consider 12 Candidates
for Hall of Fame Election at December's Winter Meetings
— Ballot Features Eight Long-Retired Players, Three Executives and One Manager for Consideration of Careers Whose Greatest Impact Felt from 1973-present —
(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Eight former major league players, three executives and one former manager comprise the 12-name Expansion Era ballot for the Committee to Consider Managers, Umpires, Executives and Long-Retired Players for Hall of Fame election, to be reviewed and voted upon at the 2010 Baseball Winter Meetings by a 16-member electorate. The results of the Expansion Era vote will be announced on December 6 at 10 a.m. ET from the Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla.
Every candidate receiving votes on 75 percent of the 16 ballots cast will earn election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will be honored during Hall of Fame Weekend 2011, July 22-25 in Cooperstown, New York.
The 12 individuals who will be considered by the Expansion Era Committee in December for Hall of Fame Induction in 2011: Former players Vida Blue, Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Ron Guidry, Tommy John, Al Oliver, Ted Simmons and Rusty Staub; former manager Billy Martin; and executives Pat Gillick, Marvin Miller and George Steinbrenner. Martin and Steinbrenner are deceased; all other candidates are living.
The 16-member electorate charged with the review of the Expansion Era ballot features: Hall of Fame members Johnny Bench, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, Tony Perez, Frank Robinson, Ryne Sandberg and Ozzie Smith; major league executives Bill Giles (Phillies), David Glass (Royals), Andy MacPhail (Orioles) and Jerry Reinsdorf (White Sox); and veteran media members Bob Elliott (Toronto Sun), Tim Kurkjian (ESPN), Ross Newhan (retired, Los Angeles Times) and Tom Verducci (Sports Illustrated).
The Expansion Era ballot was devised by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) appointed Historical Overview Committee, comprised of 11 veteran members: Dave Van Dyck (Chicago Tribune); Bob Elliott (Toronto Sun); Rick Hummel (St. Louis Post-Dispatch); Steve Hirdt (Elias Sports Bureau); Moss Klein (formerly Newark Star-Ledger); Bill Madden (New York Daily News); Ken Nigro, (formerly Baltimore Sun); Jack O'Connell (BBWAA secretary/treasurer); Nick Peters (formerly Sacramento Bee); Tracy Ringolsby (FSN Rocky Mountain); and Mark Whicker (Orange County Register).
The Expansion Era covers candidates among managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players whose most significant career impact was realized during the 1973-present time frame. Eligible candidates include: Players who played in at least 10 major league seasons, who are not on Major League Baseball's ineligible list, and have been retired for 21 or more seasons (those whose last major league season was no later than 1989); Managers and Umpires with 10 or more years in baseball and retired for at least five years, with any candidates who are 65 years or older first-eligible six months from the date of the election following retirement; and Executives who have been retired for at least five years, with any active executives 65 or older eligible for consideration.
The Expansion Era Committee is the first of a three-year cycle of consideration for Managers, Umpires, Executives and Long-Retired Players by Era, as opposed to the previous consideration by classification, with changes approved and announced by the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors at the conclusion of Hall of Fame Weekend 2010.
The changes maintain the high standards for earning election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, with focus on three eras: Expansion (1973-present); Golden (1947-1972) and Pre-Integration (1871-1946), as opposed to the previous four Committees on Baseball Veterans, which considered the four categories of candidates. Three separate electorates will now consider by era a single composite ballot of managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players on an annual basis, with Golden Era Committee candidates to be considered at the 2011 Winter Meetings for Induction in 2012 and the Pre-Integration Era Committee candidates to be considered at the 2012 Winter Meetings for Induction in 2013. The Expansion Era Committee will next meet at the 2013 Winter Meetings for Induction in 2014.
"The procedures to consider the candidacies of managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players have continually evolved since the first Hall of Fame election in 1936," said Jane Forbes Clark, chairman of the board for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "Our continual challenge is to provide a structure to ensure that all candidates who are worthy of consideration have a fair system of evaluation. In identifying candidates by era, as opposed to by category, the Board feels this change will allow for an equal review of all eligible candidates, while maintaining the high standards of earning election."
The 12 candidates for Expansion Era consideration:
Vida Blue spent 17 seasons pitching in the majors with the Oakland A's, Kansas City Royals and San Francisco Giants, compiling a 209-161 record, with a 3.27 ERA in 502 major league games/473 starts. Blue, the 1971 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, was named to six All-Star teams, and won at least 18 games five times in his career.
Dave Concepcion spent 19 seasons as the Cincinnati Reds shortstop, compiling a .267 average with 2,326 hits, 321 stolen bases and two Silver Slugger Awards, along five Gold Glove Awards and nine All-Star Game selections.
Steve Garvey compiled a .294 career average over 19 major league seasons with the Dodgers and Padres, amassing 2,599 hits, 272 home runs, 1,308 RBI and 10 All-Star Game selections. He hit .338 with 11 home runs and 31 RBI in 11 postseason series, was named the 1978 and 1984 NLCS MVP and won the 1981 Roberto Clemente Award. Garvey won four Gold Glove Awards and played in an N.L. record 1,207 straight games.
Pat Gillick spent 27 years as the general manager for the Blue Jays, Orioles, Mariners and Phillies, winning at every stop along the way, with his teams earning nine post-season berths and three World Series championships. In his 27 years as GM, his teams finished with a winning record 20 times.
Ron Guidry pitched 14 seasons for the New York Yankees, compiling a 170-91 record, a 3.29 ERA and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.81-to-1. In 10 postseason starts, Guidry was 5-2 with a 3.02 ERA. Four times he won 18 games or more in a season, including a Cy Young Award winning 1978 season with a 25-3, 1.74 era record.
Tommy John pitched 26 seasons for the Indians, Dodgers, Yankees, Angels and A's, finishing his career after the 1989 season with a record of 288-231 and 3.34 ERA. His 700 career starts rank eighth on the all-time list and his 4,710.1 innings rank 20th all-time.
Billy Martin spent 16 seasons 1969, 1971-83, 1985, 1988) managing the Twins, Tigers, Rangers, Yankees (five different stints) and A's, compiling a 1,253-1015 record (.552). Martin's teams finished in first place five times, winning two American League pennants and one World Series with 1977 Yankees.
Marvin Miller was elected as the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association in 1966 and quickly turned the union into a powerhouse. Within a decade, Miller had secured free agency for the players. By the time he retired in 1982, the average player salary was approximately 10 times what it was when he took over.
Al Oliver compiled 2,743 hits in 18 seasons with the Pirates, Rangers, Expos, Giants, Phillies, Dodgers and Blue Jays. He finished with a .303 career average, 529 doubles and 1,326 RBI, recording 10 seasons with a .300 or higher average, including nine straight from 1976-1984.
Ted Simmons played for 21 seasons, totaling a .285 batting average, 2,472 hits, 483 doubles, 248 home runs and 1,389 RBI for the Cardinals, Brewers and Braves. An 8-time All-Star, he garnered MVP votes six times in his career.
Rusty Staub totaled 2,716 hits in a 23-year major league career, with a .279 average, 292 home runs, 1,466 RBI and six All-Star Game selections. He appeared in at least 150 games in 12 seasons, and his 2,951 big league games rank No. 12 on the all-time list.
George Steinbrenner guided the New York Yankees franchise as principal owner from purchasing the team in 1973 to his death in 2010, with his teams winning 11 American League pennants and seven World Series titles.

Ned's busily trying to contact their agents to see if any of these guys are available…
HOF's now becomming available to all players through lower standards. Sounds like the [current] American way…
These guys were good, but not Hall of Fame good.
Agreed, let's not dilute the product. Of all the names, maybe Steinbrenner.
I agree 100%, Enchanted.
Good morning ITD!
I am back in LA! I got out of NH before the snow started!
Wow! Josh! So many new threads you have started! I had lots to catch up!
Congratulations to Eric on his letter in the LA Times! A well deserved tribute to Sparky Anderson! When I heard the news I was thinking of his visit to Dodger Stadium back in May when the Tigers were in town.
I love my Dodgers but there is a reason why after all this time they are not in the HOF.
OK, now if you like to vote for this nomination in Jane Heller MLb blog, go ahead, you don't have to vote for me. Vote only if you are incline to watch the videos and vote. She does this every year and this time I am one of the nominees. I am awful singing 🙂 http://janeheller.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/11/nominees_for_2010_she-fan_vide.html#comments
Maybe the HOF should build annexes for also-rans and wannabes . . . . and keep the true HOF for those who really earned and deserved their elections.
Somehow, I don't think this is the reaction Josh thought he'd get when he posted it.
Somehow I think you are right E!
I was looking at some of the comments from FB regarding this and they are voting there for Garv.
Josh should not be too surprised considering the mood of this blog from time to time and the high expections many of us have (or at least used to have) for the Dodgers as an organization and for the players. Clearly this process of electing long retired player, umps and front office leaders is an attempt to deal with the failure of the so called "old timers" selection process that effectively kept out just about anyone who did not get in during the first round. The players on Josh's list are an interesting group in that they played at mostly a high level during their careers but did not have outstanding numbers. At their primes they were important part of their respective teams. But were they exceptional?
One criteria I thought was part of the selection process was did that player dominate his position during his best playing years? I think Garvey did. He played his position well and was a pretty good clutch hitter with good post season stats. I think his goodie two shoes don't mess my hair image hurt him when he first became eligible and may still. His off the field issues certainly won't endear him to anyone. So I can understand why many would like to see him elected to the HOF. The question reamins, was he a great player? Not so sure but he was to me when he wore Dodger Blue.
The Dodgers could sure use some more Hall of Famers.
Sure would like to see Gil Hodges finally make it.
Good news….No more Joe Morgan and Jon Miller on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball…YAY!!!!
I saw that about Miller and Morgan. I didn't mind Miller so much, other than reminding me of the gnats, but I am soooo glad Morgan is outta there. He really was an idiot for treating the viewers as if they were the idiots.
As for the HOF expansion ballot, it's all been said, and as a person who has been there, I agree, the HOF needs to stay sacred to those that really deserve it IMO, of course.
I agree, Oldbrooklynfan. I would like to see Gil Hodges in there. He is certainly deserving of the honor.
Wait, without Joe Morgan, who's going to skew the broadcast against the Dodgers?
Some hotstove reading for you………….
It sure would be nice to read an article where we aren't looking for a bargain…..
With the signing of Ted Lilly and the large contract Hiroki Kuroda will seek in free agency, it is possible the Dodgers will have to settle for a bargain, and a right-handed pitcher in the back of the rotation.
Thanks for the link Nelly.
Here is another one…
Thanks for a thoroughly depressing link Nells. I don't know which is more horrifying:
(A) The possibility of acquiring Eric Chavez.
(B) The assertion that Lilly is one of the top 2 starters
(C) The thought that acquiring Beltre would bring back memories of happier days.
There is one certainty however:
Ned has proven time and time again that he has no idea how to put together a ballclub, so no matter who he acquires, no matter who he signs, this club will ALWAYS be lacking something to separate it from the rest of the pretenders.
Enchanted ~ I think Ned's idea of shopping is WalMart, not Bloomingdales 🙂
You are right, Bear 🙂
I can support Gil Hodges. I am also a Maury Wills fan.
Perhaps the Dodgers should start their own HOF.
Ive seen done at other stadiums.
Funny thing is the other day when I heard that Chavy was released I was going to post sarcastically that Ned should go for him. But #1 I didn't want to incite a riot and #2 I didn't want to give Ned any ideas.
You are most welcome enchanted. I am glad to be able to add fuel to the Ned fire, but it really isn't so hard these days, is it? LOL!!!
messagebear – it depends on the WalMart. There are days when it feels like ours is just a step above a garage sale.
Collie – Juan Uribe and Torrealba – hmmmmmmm! Interesting!
Let me get this straight. So we have a "Hall Of Fame". Is it a "Hall Of Pretty Good"? No.
Hall of Fame.
And now there are all these players who are Pretty Good. Even Famous. They've been on the ballot for the Hall for 15 years and never quite got the votes it takes to make it.
It's not enough that they were playing in the Expansion Era, where the talent was diluted to enable them to compile their numbers. No, now we have to assemble a special committee to take them on as a special task so that we can further dilute the Hall.
"The changes maintain the high standards for earning election…."
"…..while maintaining the high standards of earning election."
Question: If the MLB is so concerned about maintaining the high standards of earning election, why are they looking to circumvent the system that has been in place for these many years and has not seen fit to elect these 12 players?
Nah, too crass. Right? Sure.
Looking at the 9 players, they have one thing in common. Long careers. These long careers enabled them to assemble decent, borderline numbers to justify making the Hall. But is that enough? I don't think so.
Aaron. Ruth. DiMaggio. Mays. Mathewson. Koufax. Players like these who were D-O-M-I-N-A-T-I-N-G. That's who should make up the Hall. Not mid-level players. OK, that's probably unfair. Guidry, Garvey, Blue, they were stars.
Not the Stars.
Only the SUPERstars.
Oh yeah. Sell the team, you self-serving *******.
Congratulations to ex-Dodger Franklin Gutierrez for winnng his first gold glove.
Oh and I did take the 2010 She-fan video MLBBloggie award with the video that Jane took of Yankee fan LadyJane and I signing Happy Birthday to Jeter at Dodger Stadium when the Yankees were in town.
Fabulous post Dodgereric!!!!!
Collie – I saw that article last night too. This is will some off-season. That's for sure!
When Eric speaks, everybody listen. Well said Eric! and congrats on your letter in the LA Times!
That reminds me I have not seen a letter from Jeff Calzada of Monterey Park in a long time. He usually sends letters about the Dodgers or Lakers. Hmm..I am going to inquire with friends what happened to him. In the meantime, I am excited I am going to the Laker game this Sunday.
Hope everyone here is doing well.
I see Martin's agent says he'll be ready for ST.
OK, here's a frightening thought – Martin in LF. Sadly, his 5-6 HR's a year would be 500-600% more than we'd get from Pathednik (C'mon, you KNOW Ned's wants to sign him bad.) He'll steal close to as many bases or at least have a better success rate, he can actually can draw a walk now and then, and he has a much better arm. Emergency catcher hmmm? Could even spell Blake at third?
As much as I dislike Martin, I'm for anyone [or anything] in left other than Pierre Light. Much like I am for anyone else at 2B than Theriot.
Hopefully a very long time since a driver like that crossed the center line and hit and killed my best friend almost
3 years ago. I was states away when it happened, but he killed a big part of me
too that night, my life is forever saddened. Rest in
Peace Kim, love and miss ya dear friend.

Comparatively new to Quilting. I love working with colours and find liberated quilting fun by challenging myself to use up or recycle fabrics. My formal background is in textiles and colour science. I developed an interest in crystals and colour healing back in the 80's but am now smitten with quilting since a Janet Bottomley workshop. I do not have enough time to sew in a day. My quilts all have black hair from my assistant, Wolfie, sewn into them. He is a very discerning long haired black cat.

The flowers are beautiful but usually require staking and only last for about two weeks. Organized gardeners (one of which I am certainly not) plant the corms at two-week intervals for a longer display. I grew them this year at the suggestion of Peg, my husband's sister, and when they bloomed, the memories were definitely mixed.
My father died when I was about 9 and one of the memories of that time is of a room full of floral displays. Most of them were in a sort of molded paper basket and were mainly fan-shaped arrangements of gladioli. The memory was reinforced over the next few years as my mother placed arrangement after arrangement on the gravesite the anniversary of his death, Memorial Day, his birthday, Labor Day. We got a break with mums for Thanksgiving and a blanket of greens for Christmas. Anyway, that's what I remembered first as the glads bloomed.
But then as I continued to look at them, another memory came to mind. My sister, Pat, has no such problems with gladioli. She enjoys flowers and she likes glads.
She works in an office with a sea of desks, but she makes her area her own with pictures and knickknacks and quite often with cut flowers. One week she had a vase of gladiolus stalks on her desk.
They didn't draw much comment until a young woman walked by and exclaimed over them. She didn't know what they were but the graceful blooms and bright colors reminded her of home. The young woman had left Vietnam several years earlier and carried the memory of a lush, beautiful paradise close to her heart. My sister was deeply moved by her response to the flowers and, I believe, she gave her some corms so she could grow her own.
So the gladiolus brings me two memories: the reminder of my father's funeral and the kindness of my sister who made the extra effort to share her flowers with someone who found pleasure and her own memories in a bunch of glads.
Description: Gladioli grow from corms. Varieties range from one foot to more than five feet tall and come in many colors. Popular as a cut flower, they can be used in beds but often require staking. Corms must be lifted in fall before the first frost and stored in a cool, dry area. When foliage becomes brownish yellow, lift the corms and brush off the soil. Cut the main stem about a half-inch above the corm and discard any outer skin that is tough. Discard corms that are soft, mushy or shriveled. Save the small cormels that form around the corm base.
Plant: Plant corms when danger of frost has passed. For best display, plant bulbs at two-week intervals in three or more plantings. Depth is determined by the size of the corm. Small corms need only be planted at about a half-inch but larger ones need a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Stake tall varieties or those planted in areas exposed to wind.
Temperature: Most are hardy only to Zone 8, although a few are marked as hardy.
Sun, watering, soil: Full sun preferred; prefers moist soil, well-drained. with rich humus.
Propagate: Cormels are produced at the base of the corm. Remove and store them as you do the corms. Plant in spring in a close row about 2 to 3 inches deep. Most cormels will take at least a season or two to reach flowering size and produce only leaves the first year or so. Dig up cormels in the fall and replant the next spring.
Hints: When cutting gladioli, condition the stalks in shallow cool water before arranging. Remove the top buds to encourage the rest of the stalk to bloom.

"The Cresting Wave: San Francisco Underground Comix Experience"
July 10 — August 22, 2009
Artists Reception 6-8 pm, Friday July 10th
Electric Works
130 8th Street
San Francisco, CA
415 626 5496
Electric Works is pleased to present "The Cresting Wave: The San Francisco Underground Comix Experience," a group exhibition featuring Underground Comix artists from San Francisco, from the mid-'60's to the late '80's. Artists included are Mark Bode, Vaughn Bode, Guy Colwell, R. Crumb, Jay Kinney, Paul Mavrides, Dan O'Neill, Trina Robbins, Spain Rodriguez, Gilbert Shelton, Larry Todd, Randy Vogel, and S. Clay Wilson. Culling work from private collectors and the artists themselves, guest curator, Underground Comix writer, publisher and historian, Dan Fogel, has amassed important work from each artist that spans personal drawings, well-known comix pieces, including covers and original comps, as well as other rare ephemera from the heyday of the San Francisco scene.
San Francisco was the birthplace of the Underground Comix scene in the mid 1960's: nowhere else on the planet was there such an concentration of talent, vision, and production. In a relatively short time, the artists who coalesced in the Bay Area changed the face of popular culture forever. Taking on issues of politics, race, sexuality, drugs, the counterculture of the time, and intellectual property, these artists were able to push the bounds of propriety, "decency" and imagery more drastically than in any other medium of the era.
Complementing the robust gallery show, Electric Works will feature many other important pieces by the artist which will be available for viewing during the course of the exhibition in our flat files. In addition, Electric Works will be publishing limited edition prints, mini-prints, and a collaborative "jam" print featuring many of the artists in the exhibition, proceeds of which will benefit the S. Clay Wilson Special Needs Trust, benefiting their friend, who is recovering from serious injuries.
" Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime . . . the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. . . . So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." — Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream, 1971.

But how do I pay for it?
Given what you may have already read elsewhere on the web about web design and development, one thing you might be asking yourself is "how do I pay for it?" Though my rates are pretty reasonable given the industry average of $50/hr (you can read more about what web designers charge here), I do realize that many people wanting a web site don't necessarily have a large budget to do everything they'd like. I've worked with a number of clients whose budgets have ranged from a few hundred dollars for a basic online presence, to those with upwards of $1,000. One thing...Read More

Breeders always appreciate ways to help improve their mares' chances of becoming pregnant, and one way veterinarians can help is by administering prostaglandins. At the 2013 Society for Theriogenology Conference, held Aug. 7-10 in Louisville, Ky., Carlos R. F. Pinto, MedVet, PhD, Dipl. ACT, presented a lecture on using prostaglandin F2? (PGF) to control the mare's estrous cycle.
Pinto, an associate professor at the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, began by reviewing PGF and its effects on the mare's reproductive cycle. PGF administration during diestrus (when the mare is not in heat) induces luteolysis, or the degradation of the corpus luteum (the structure formed after the follicle releases the egg, or ovulates, and then produces progesterone). Following luteolysis, mares will return to an ovulatory estrus, Pinto said.
Following PGF administration, Pinto said, there is generally "distinct evidence" (determined by checking concentrations of blood progesterone) of luteolysis within 24 hours; complete luteolysis typically occurs by 48 hours. Overt signs of estrus generally appear in three to four days, although they can appear in as little as two or as long as six days post-administration, he said.
Clinical Applications
So how is PGF used in practice? There are several scenarios in which veterinarians might choose to implement PGF treatment:
- "Short Cycling"—Veterinarians typically use PGF to "short cycle" mares, or begin their return to estrus sooner than if allowed to progress through their cycle naturally. Following administration, mares can come into estrus and ovulate in as little as two to five days, if a large follicle (35 millimeters or greater) is in the ovary when PGF is administered. For mares with a small follicle (less than 25 mm), it could take a week or longer to come into estrus. The average time for a mare to develop estrus is around four to six days, Pinto said. When using PGF to short cycle a mare, there are numerous administration protocols veterinarians can follow, depending on the circumstance. In some cases a single dose can induce luteolysis; other cases might require additional doses.
- PGF in Postpartum Mares—Pinto said that when a mare has a dystocia (difficult birth) or retains her fetal membranes, breeders and veterinarians might opt not to breed her on the following foal heat so her uterus can recover from inflammation and potential infections. "In this scenario, instead of having horse owners waiting for mares to come into their second postpartum estrus, one strategy would be to treat mares with PGF approximately five to seven days after ovulation in the foal heat," effectively short cycling her back into estrus, Pinto said.
- Prolonged Diestrus—Pinto said that veterinarians can administer a single dose of PGF to mares in a state of persistent diestrus—one lasting more than 16 days post-ovulation. This should prompt mares to return to estrus, he said.
- Estrus Synchronization—Likely most useful in larger breeding operations, breeders can use PGF to synchronize mares' breeding cycles, Pinto said.
PGF Safety and Formulations
Pinto said PGF administration appears fairly safe for use in horses. Study results show that administering 20 to 40 times the recommended dose did not elicit any toxic effects, and even doses up to 800 mg did not prove fatal, although they did cause recumbency (which resolved in four to five hours following administration).
Pinto noted that 20-40% of mares exhibit side effects including sweating, restless behavior, diarrhea, or coliclike signs; a smaller percentage of mares might also exhibit ataxia (incoordination).
"It is important to note that the side effects are dose-dependent and typically subside within the first hour following PGF treatment," he stressed.
Veterinarians use several different PGF preparations to induce luteolysis, and Pinto reviewed the dosing regimens of two products.
Dinoprost tromethamine—This natural PGF analog (also known as PGF tromethamine salt) is the only PGF approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for equine use in the United States. Pinto said the labeled dose is 5 to 10 milligrams (mg) per mare, administered once. He noted that research indicates two 0.5 mg doses administered 24 hours apart can also induce luteolysis without the traditional side effects (including sweating and colicky behavior); however, a single 0.5 mg dose is not effective. Dinoprost tromethamine has a half-life (the time required for the drugs' blood concentration to be decreased by 50%) of about 25 minutes.
Pinto said dinoprost tromethamine's efficacy in inducing luteolysis depends on the dose, the number of treatments, and the stage of the mare's estrous cycle when administered. However, he said he believes the drug can be 100% effective if administered properly.
Cloprostenol—"In contrast to several other countries, cloprostenol formulations are not FDA-approved for use in horses in the United States," Pinto said. "Nevertheless, cloprostenol is widely used in the United States by equine practitioners, mainly because of its longer half-life (1 to 3 hours in other species) and association with lesser side effects than dinoprost tromethamine."
There are two different cloprostenol formulations available from the substance's two optically active isomers: d-cloprostenol and l-cloprostenol. The most common formula in the United States is the d,l cloprostenol mixture, which is administered at a rate of 200 to 500 micrograms (µg) per mare. In other countries, Pinto said, d-cloprostenol, is administered at even a lower rate than d,l cloprostenol.
"In a recent report, the bolus dose of 37.5 µg of d-cloprostenol was found to induce complete luteolysis similar to mares receiving 250 µg of a d,l cloprostenol preparation," he explained.
Pinto cautioned that some study results have shown that mares predisposed to ovulatory disorders could be at increased risk of developing side effects when treated with cloprostenol. Additionally, he said, research has shown that d-cloprostenol has the potential to be hypertensive (or cause high blood pressure) in rats, although researchers aren't sure if the same is true in horses.
"Overall, all types of cloprostenol are relatively safe and have less systemic side effects than natural prostaglandin," he concluded.
Take-Home Message
"PGF is a remarkable pharmacologic tool in reproductive management," Pinto said. Breeders and their veterinarians can administer this substance to induce estrus, increasing the likelihood of a mare getting in foal with no negative effects, he said.

Syndicate, Syndicate, Syndicate
So here's a thing. It could be poetic justice, but it's too early to tell. What I mean is this: I think XCOM looks great, but it's the kind of thing that doesn't tickle the love-strings of X-Com purists. "Nevermind," I said, so cheerily, and having no critical or emotional attachment to the original series. "It'll still be an entertaining take on the shooter." Of course, if someone was to come along and give a similar treatment to my beloved Syndicate, things might be a little different. A switch would flick in my head, my worries about hypocrisy would disappear in a puff of indignation, and red mist would do hideous battle with my cool, logical implacability.
EA have just registered three trademarks for Syndicate. We already have rumours that Starbreeze are developing a Syndicate game. What are the chances it will remain a beautiful isometric dystopia? Oh, gaming future, please be kind.

text: During the transition from totalitarian regimes to democracy, new political systems have had to deal with the shadow of the past, with a wide choice of institutional mechanisms at their disposal. Too much, as well as too little, "memory" has long-term negative consequences for the quality of democracy. This study starts from Paul Ricœur's assumption about the role of balance between memory, responsibility and forgiveness, and truth, when building a democratic society. Ricœur's conception of a just society and its narrative construction, which changes in time, serves as the framework for grasping the regime of memory and its tasks in the formation of such a society. The processes of transitional justice often focus on one of the key elements at the expense of another (for example, on the psychological help to victims at the expense of criminal law). The regime of memory is established in the first stages of the transition by the narrative agents of that time – it is formed by their values and strategic choices. In contemporary times it is interpreted and reconfigured by the emerging generation, whose priorities and values are formed by a different social context and who move and change it. Generational distance allows for a reconfiguration of the regime of memory and space and the possibility of approaching the ideal of the just society.Keywords: regime of memory, duty of memory, forgetting, forgiving, transitional justice, generational exchange, Paul Ricœur

Infrastructure Relocation
Over the years many types of infrastructure relocations have come up for our customers. Plans for new data centers, company moves, new hosting partners, outsourcing to IaaS and new equipment are all examples of where the discussion begins. Sometimes the project from start to finish can seem so daunting that a customer will delay or simply put off the move despite a huge benefit or cost saving.
The Management, DBA and SYSADMIN teams at DAZ have provided guidance and facilitated relocations many times and we are doing it more than ever with our hosting business. We even have partners that can discuss equipment buy backs to improve EBITDA from the financial perspective. Let us discuss all the implications of a move and we will help make a good idea into a tangible plan.
Moving ERP
Each company will have a number of internal requirements for making a large change like an infrastructure move. Some will need Quality Plans, others will need company risk assessments, but at a minimum a detailed set of move steps and testing will be required. From an ERP perspective, many of the tasks we do to validate systems during User Acceptance testing are no different to what happens during a properly run relocation: hardware and networking acceptance, cutover plans, end user testing, testing of partner integrations, and ensuring that it all elements work together. We have all the tools to put together a plan appropriate for your company and we have a team that knows how to relocate Oracle ERP product and other fringe products. We also have the dedication to put in the long hours during cutover weekend to ensure that we are all successful.
Some Benefits to Doing it Right
Many times after a company has been using their ERP related systems for a while, the cumulative change that has occurred over a few years may not be documented properly. Moves are a perfect time to go into all the details and create a set of documentation to be proud of. This becomes a fairly IT centric exercise with some input from the business. DAZ has a great understanding of the security and network requirements as well as the ability to reverse engineer any interfaces and tools; ensuring that they are working properly and relate to current needs. We can help put together documents for network topology, port mappings, system configurations, data flow, vendor interfaces and anything else that touches or affects ERP. It's also a good time to ensure that the testing scorecard is up to date with current scenarios.
DAZ can provide a unique combination of proven project approaches, industry extensions, and related services. To discuss what we can do for your business, contact the DAZ Sales Team.

The season opener of "Chelsea Lately" included many guest appearances, but none were as eye-opening Sandra Bullock's pre-taped comedy skit.
The Oscar-winning actress reprimanded the comedienne while the two were naked in a shower. Bullock slapped Handler and criticized her drinking, promiscuity and her body.
Bullock says in the video: "The overall theme of this message is that you are a huge disappointment. Just because your the only person on late-night television who has tiny little lady bits does not give you a free pass."
Handler signed a deal this past November to continue her series through 2014, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Surprisingly Strong Shabu-Shabu at Roaring Bowl, Seattle
Steps from the Space Needle and the Seattle Center sits the stylish little Roaring Bowl, where counter seats and tables are all equipped with induction burners. If you know what you ask for, it's the gateway to a wide world of em>robatayaki (slow-grilled skewered meat and fish), gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup), and the focus of this article: shabu-shabu.
Shabu-shabu is similar to hot pot, except that you extract your fillings from the simmering dashi (broth) made from kombu (kelp), then dip them in ponzu (citrus) or goma (sesame) sauce, making the meal a little more varied in flavor. (Shabu-shabu is also different than sukiyaki, in which you cook beef in a sweet sauce of sugar, sake, and soy sauce, then dip it in raw egg.) In fact, shabu-shabu is Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound that results when you take a thin slice of meat with your chopsticks (not letting go) and "swish-swish" it through the broth.
You can add vegetables and tofu to the broth when you'd like, as they can take a few minutes to cook, and meanwhile start swishing the meat. Once you finish these, heat up the pre-cooked udon, and likewise dip it in your choice of sauce, which you can gussy up with yakumi (condiments) such as garlic, daikon with chile pepper, togarashi (chile powder), or sliced green onions.
Roaring Bowl's menu forces you to make some decisions. There are five cooking broths—a wakame broth similar to their "traditional seaweed broth," whereas the spicy miso, Szechuan peppercorn, and sukiyaki broths are more like a hot pot experience, in that they're strongly-flavored enough that you might opt to skip the ponzu or sesame dip post-swish. And then there are a number of protein options, including beef (chuck eye and Wagyu short rib, with lots of desired marbling), pork belly, lamb, dumplings (pork and shrimp), and mixed seafood. (There's also a vegetarian option.) All come with a personal plate of vegetables, tofu, and udon noodles.
Wanting variety, I chose a combination plate of Painted Hills Chuck Eye Beef and Kurobuta Pork Belly ($19), and mixed it up even more with a split bowl of broth: Traditional Seaweed and Spicy Miso. (I also sampled the Wakame broth, the dashi fishier from the addition of bonito, and the Szechuan Peppercorn, which was especially good with meats and noodles.)
The food comes fast, with the beef and pork fresh from the meat slicer. Your server should adjust the temperature of your cooking broth, though you can reach for the controls and do that for yourself. I liked the simplicity of the seaweed broth as a way to enjoy the dipping sauces (I generally recommend sesame for meat, and ponzu for vegetables), though ultimately I preferred the non-traditional spicy miso broth, which was rich and earthy, with a welcome hit of heat. The variety of fresh vegetables keeps things interesting, as my plate had cabbage (Napa is standard, but a delivery mix-up resulted in the firmer green cabbage pictured on the plate), carrots, green onions, baby greens, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, and kabocha squash.
Roaring Bowl departs from tradition in giving each diner a bowl of rice at the start, which can serve as the "plate," similar to the technique at a traditional Chinese restaurant. You can save the rice for a soupy finish, but I do that with the udon noodles, taking advantage of the intense flavors of the long-cooked broth.
Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of the shabu-shabu at Roaring Bowl right out of the gate. It's a meal that requires an open mind and a little bit of learning (the servers can help, giving you preparation and eating instructions, along with the electronic timers that help you keep track of your cooking), but in the end, shabu-shabu is healthy (note the lack of oil), fun, and interactive—with both the ingredients and your dining companions.

By Kevin Kelly
Catholic Key Associate Editor
JOPLIN — As tough as they are, the people of Joplin learned two lessons.
First, they can't rebuild their town alone. Second, they aren't alone.
"Sometimes, we say we don't know if God is in the miracle business," said Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean.
"Well, look at our city," she said. "God is still in the miracle business."
Joplin is still a city of vacant lots, one year after the most powerful tornado that can be measured cut a swath through the middle third of the city of 50,000, from the southwest city limits to the northeast city limits.
Gone in the 30 minutes or so in the late afternoon of May 22, 2011, that it took the slow-moving EF-5 twister — actually three tornadoes that spun themselves into a single mile-wide monster — were some 7,500 homes in the poorest part of the town, and some 2,500 commercial businesses that provided thousands of jobs.
Maura Taylor, director of Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri which serves the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, said 65 percent of the destroyed homes were rental properties, and nearly half of those were government Section 8 properties for the low income.
But then, almost as soon as the tornado left, the miracles began.
A regional disaster plan, spearheaded and funded by federal and state government, kicked in, first responders — police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians — arrived from as far away as Tulsa, Wichita and Kansas City as fast as their emergency vehicles could take them there.
Then the volunteers came — from across the entire nation.
And they are still coming.
On June 6, one year and two weeks after the tornado, Mayor Colbert-Kean welcomed 136 more who came by chartered bus from Kansas City for a day of work, some of it backbreaking in the late spring southwest Missouri heat, on a day of service sponsored by Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph.
The Kansas City volunteers re-organized the Catholic Charities warehouse where basic supplies such as food, personal hygiene items, clothing, dishes and tools are still coming in.
They picked up trash, nails and glass still strewn along acres of empty lots that was once a neighborhood.
They provided landscaping at Cunningham Park, devastated a year ago, but where the names of each of the 161 people who died on May 22, 2011, have been immortalized on a bronze plaque, and where 161 trees have been planted around the memorial.
And with pick axes, shovels and the enthusiasm of youth, they cut through two feet of topsoil, clay and bedrock to prepare a retaining wall around a brand-new home built by "Help Joplin Rebuild," an inter-faith consortium spearheaded by Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri that is turning empty lots back into neighborhoods, one home at a time.
That is the continuing miracle of Joplin, the mayor told the Kansas City volunteers at a hamburger and hot dog barbecue that ended the day of work.
"Everybody became a neighbor and helped everybody out," Colbert-Kean said. "It will stretch to five to seven more years (before Joplin fully recovers) but we are on our way. And Catholic Charities was here on Day One, and you are still here."
On Sunday, May 22, 2011, Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri was a two-person operation — interim director Kyle Schott and an administrative assistant. And on that day, Schott was on the other side of Missouri, helping the victims of a devastating Mississippi River flood.
That evening, Schott got a call that Joplin had been devastated. Then he got a call from Mike Halterman, CEO of Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph, with a four-word message: "Kyle, we're coming in."
The next day, Monday, Halterman assembled his team, who assembled and organized volunteers. On Tuesday morning, they arrived at St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Joplin, the only one of the two Catholic parishes in Joplin left standing.
For the next five days, the volunteers from Kansas City organized a makeshift relief center in the gymnasium of adjacent McCauley Catholic High School, sorting through relief supplies that were coming, unsolicited, from coast to coast by the truck load. The professional case managers from Kansas City began receiving people, many left with just the clothes they were wearing, as they put them in touch with services to get them through the next day, the next week, the next month, the next year.
No value could be put on that work, said Taylor, who began as Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri's permanent director on May 13.
And the money, desperately needed money, poured in from parishes in each of the state's four Catholic dioceses, from Catholic Charities USA, from federal, state and local disaster relief plans, and from people who simply sent in checks.
"We had two employees," Taylor said. "With the help of Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph, St. Louis and Wichita, we were able to respond to needs immediately."
Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri now has 35 employees, including nine case managers assigned to Joplin to help people get back on their feet.
"Many of them are hard-working people who were living paycheck to paycheck and were left acutely poor," Taylor said.
One year later, they are still coming.
"We have people coming in who haven't asked for help before," she said. "They thought that a year later, things would be better. Well, here it is a year later and now they realize they are not better."
The more affluent neighborhoods have already been rebuilt through insurance settlements.
But the acres and miles of vacant lots were once the homes of people living in rental properties who didn't carry renter's insurance, Taylor said. Some vacant lots were once the homes of elderly on small fixed incomes who may have paid off their mortgages, but they let their homeowner's insurance lapse in order to afford food and medicine.
Those are the people who still need help, if they have not already left Joplin to move in with friends or relatives.
"We will help them one person at a time," Taylor said.
One such person is Don Atteberry. He and his two grown daughters were enjoying their usual Sunday dinner when the weather began to look threatening.
"We turned on the Weather Channel and they were saying it was going to pass us on the west and go toward Carl Junction," he said.
Suddenly, the roar.
Atteberry and his daughters huddled in a solid oak cabinet, clutching hands, and rode out the storm that lifted them off the floor. They escaped with nothing but cuts, scrapes and bruises, some of them suffered as they tunneled through the rubble toward their front door, then outside to check on their neighbors.
Don Atteberry turned 90 years old last month.
He stood at his vacant lot at the corner of 24th and Pennsylvania streets and watched the Catholic Charities volunteers swing the pick axes and dig with the shovels for the retaining wall on the soon-to-be completed Help Joplin Rebuild house.
He brought two homemade signs: "The tornado killed the house that stood here, but not me" and "God bless and thanks to the volunteers."
Atteberry carried insurance on the house he had lived in for half a century, but not enough to rebuild at today's construction prices in excess of $100,000.
But Atteberry put his insurance settlement into the back, and it will be enough to build the next Help Joplin Rebuild house in the neighborhood for him, and hopefully in time to invite his two grown daughters, one of whom he has lived with since the tornado, for Thanksgiving dinner.
"Without Catholic Charities' help, I wouldn't have gotten it," he said. "I'm all for it."
Gabe Tischler, Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri disaster relief coordinator, and Steve Williams, construction project manager, said the coalition that formed under the banner of Help Rebuild Joplin has already completed six new homes, with more in process, and has done major repairs on another 100 or more.
They could do more and do it faster if someone would donate a pickup truck. Or three. Or five. Both Williams and Tischler spend a good part of each day shuttling supplies back and forth from site to site and can take from the Catholic Charities warehouse only what they can carry in their personal cars.
Doesn't have to be a brand-new, fancy pickup truck. In fact, old ugly will work just fine as long as it is in decent running condition and can haul lumber, paint, dry wall and tools.
And he still is getting volunteers raring to go. In fact, that is the reason that Help Rebuild Joplin can build a $100,000, three-bedroom, two-bath home for under $40,000.
"We couldn't do it without the volunteer help, just couldn't do it," Tischler said.
"Since Day Three, we've had 23,000 volunteers come to Joplin to work just through Catholic Charities," he said.
Through connections with the broad ecumenical network that sprang up, Tischler said. Help Joplin Rebuild has been able to get supplies such as siding, windows and roofing material donated.
A pricetag can be put on that kind of material. The volunteer human labor is priceless, he said, pointing to the work on the retaining wall that the small army of Kansas City volunteers were preparing by hand.
"I don't have to spend $700 to rent a backhoe," he said.
President Barack Obama gave the commencement address to the Joplin High School Class of 2012. Among the 20 Joplin citizens invited to a private reception to meet the president was Gabe Tischler.
"That shows that somebody, somewhere knew what we were doing," Tischler said.
Carole and Steve Yagel also knew. They were sharing a rental house with friends near Joplin High School, but the lease and the utility bills which they helped pay were in the name of their friends. When they applied for direct disaster relief funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, they couldn't prove Joplin residence.
One year later, they are still coming to Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri for food.
"You see the movie, 'Twister'?" she asked. "Believe it."
Catholic Charities helped Carole get new glasses that were lost in the tornado, as well as a new set of dentures, also lost.
"Now I can eat right," she said.
But one thing that she found, miraculously she said, was a small white box with a medal inside.
A cradle Catholic, Carole married Steven in a civil ceremony in 1987, then applied for an annulment of Steven's first marriage under the Pauline Privilege, so they could receive the Sacrament of Matrimony.
It was approved by the Vatican in 1995. With the notice of the annulment, Pope John Paul II sent her a small silver medallion with his image in a small white box in which Carole also kept her folded birth certificate.
"I had put this on my dresser before the tornado," Carole said. "Then the storm took our house, then the high school. When we were able to get outside, this was the only thing we could find. Everything else, our clothes, everything, was gone."
Marchella Claar was another renter who came to Catholic Charities for help. She had graduated, after years of study, with a double bachelor's degree from Missouri Southern State University in Joplin on May 21, 2011 and hadn't even begun a job search.
She, her husband Larry, and her 17-year-old son Brandon were living in a third floor apartment, and she and Brandon had settled in for the evening to watch, of all movies, "Independence Day" about an alien invasion to destroy the earth while Larry was at work.
"I was looking at the sky and it was green," Claar said. "Then my husband called and said the sirens were going off and it was headed our way."
Marchella and Brandon ran to the lowest floor and crouched under a stairwell.
"A big TV box came from somewhere and blocked stuff from falling down the stairwell," Marchella said. "It seemed like it took forever, but when the tornado passed, the only thing left standing was that square stairwell.
"We had to dig ourselves out," she said. "We made it to our truck which was destroyed, but we were able to sit inside. I somehow was able to call my husband, and I said, 'We made it, but everything is gone.'"
The Claars were taken in by friends for a week, then they moved to Iowa to live with her family for the rest of the summer.
They returned to Joplin in August so that Brandon could start and finish his senior year at Joplin High. That month, they were given a FEMA trailer to live in, and they are still living there.
But not for long.
In October both she and Larry were able to get six-month contract jobs through Catholic Charities. In April, as her contract expired, Taylor offered Marchella a full-time, permanent position as a disaster support specialist, helping others find help.
Then came the really good news. Habitat for Humanity, which is also doing yeoman's work rebuilding homes and lives, approved the Claar's application for the very first home they will own.
And on top of that, on June 15, members of the Kansas City Chiefs football team will come to Joplin to break ground on the home and, hopefully, complete construction before the contract on the temporary FEMA trailer expires in November.
Marchella said she is grateful for all the help she has received, including the FEMA trailer. But it won't be the home her Habitat for Humanity house will become.
"It's not a bad place, but it's not ours," she said of the trailer. "This will be ours. Everything is going in the right direction, but we still got a ways to go."
A tornado survivor herself, Marchella knows what the survivors who still come to Catholic Charities have gone through.
"It helps me relate to the clients, but it's hard sometimes," she said.
And sometimes, like a woman whose tears prompted new tears from Marchella, what is needed at a particular moment is a friend to cry with.
"We both stood there crying, and then we were fine," she said. "We just needed to get it out."
The old two-storefront downtown Joplin headquarters of Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri is still coming together.
But it was Taylor's idea to decorate it in a special unique way.
Among the bags and bags of clothing and bedding that came flooding to Catholic Charities from around the nation were a dozen or so hand-stitched, crib sized quilts. Taylor took those quilts and hung them on the walls of the Catholic Charities office in Joplin.
"I wanted something to make this feel like home, and what feels more like home than a quilt?" she said.
Taylor beamed with pride as she showed off the office. Over here, her case managers work. And over there in a large room, is where she is planning, while still neck deep in disaster relief work, a new Strengthening Families program, open to the entire city.
"You have to be thinking of what you will be five years from now," Taylor said.
Mayor Colbert-Kean is confident where Joplin will be in five years. Back to where it once was, with the help they were humbled to receive freely but proud enough to accept and appreciate.
"We're not going to be known as the Tornado City," Colbert-Kean said. "We are going to be known as the city that came back."
With years of work left to do, Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri is still in need of cash donations, as well as donations of used, working order work vehicles, as well as both unskilled volunteer labor and skilled labor, including dry wall hangers, electricians and plumbers. Cash donations can be sent to Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri, 601 S. Jefferson St., Springfield, MO 65806. Volunteer labor teams and those with work vehicles to donate can contact Gabe Tischler at the Joplin Donation and Distribution Center, 113 E. 9th St., Joplin, MO 64801; (417) 616-9314 or (417) 499-2920.


text: It is hard to believe another year has passed. If you know me you know I am obsessive about organising what I have seen, read and listened to and having a clear idea of how I feel about things. In 2017 the things striving for attention increased dramatically. My wife an I introduced our daughter to the world. I started a new job. Big changes. I had books, music, the NBA (I am a die-hard 76ers fan, somewhat foolishly) all dominating my life for stretches of time, to the point of overshadowing film watching. From a vastly smaller (and I believe significantly weaker) pool of films than recent years I have selected my favourite 25 from 2017. Check them out after the jump.

The Academy is an annual program presented by the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce and the City, educating residents about municipal departments in Dover and the services they provide.
"The Dover Citizens' Leadership Academy is offered regularly as part of our ongoing efforts to engage local residents and support their involvement in their community governance," City Manager Michael Joyal said in a public statement. "We are encouraged that participants are interested in volunteering for the many boards and commissions appointed by Dover's Mayor and City Council and becoming more involved in leading and keeping Dover the exceptional community it has become."
Now in its fourth year, the program, which used to be a one-day event, included a tour of the Liberty North End Fire Station with presentations by Police Chief Anthony Colarusso and Fire Chief Richard Driscoll. Community Services Director, Doug Steele, also hosted the Academy on a C&J Trailways bus tour of the City's various Community Services facilities.
"A few years ago the Academy started off as a relatively small program," Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Community Events Manager Michael Mengers said. "It has now developed into a comprehensive program on the interworking of local government. Every year, it is great to see how many people are interested in attending and learning more about their community."
To preregister for next year's class in October 2013 or learn more about the Academy, contact the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce at (603) 742-2218.

Stylish simplicity and navigational clarity work together in this theme to provide exactly what the name implies: a crisp and clean user interface. White, open space makes way for the homepage's two uniquely-designed custom galleries, both of which will instantly intrigue the viewer. Dominated by a striking three-way image slider, the homepage is an opportunity to showcase products in an artistic way or, if you want, to use three related images to evoke a product's story or feel within the customer's mind.
The image slider at the base of the page is simpler, but its use of reversing arrows as controllers adds a contemporary touch.
Amazon-style menus provide subnavigation, but in untraditional fashion. Menus open up to large, multi-column submenus where styles collections or categories can be compared side by side. The size of the submenus leaves room for clarity, so the viewer won't be squinting their eyes, opening window after window of tiny submenus to find what they need.

Be advised that just because information has been leaked, that doesn't mean that it is declassified, and anyone who downloads or views it can be held liable for dissemination of classified information. This is especially true for military personnel. This message is making the rounds via AKO and other Army sites, and it would probably be a good idea for it to be posted here:
As you may have seen on the news recently, a new cache of classified documents has been released on the WikiLeaks website.
As a security reminder to all Soldiers, individuals should not access the WikiLeaks web site to view, download, or print any information which is potentially classified. All personnel are reminded that the accessing of classified information on an unclassified network, either on government or privately owned computers, could constitute a security violation or place our national security at risk.
In accordance with Executive Order 13526, classified information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure and will remain classified until it is formally declassified by an appropriate authority. Therefore, information on the internet which is or appears to be classified should be handled as such until it is properly declassified. The unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or
negligent handling of classified information may result in termination of security clearance, termination of employment, or prosecution.
Finally, personnel are reminded that the following of proper security procedures is an individual responsibility, and is not to be taken lightly.--Odysseus
Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
A reminder for WikiLeaks threads.
Revelation 15:1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
