2K Games
To grid or not to grid? How XCOM: Enemy Unknown modernizes turn-based strategy
Turn-based strategy games typically feature a detached viewpoint; the player moves his soldiers or units around a battlefield with the hands of a god. You point, and your little men scurry to a particular place and begin firing, or they are pinned down and killed. The upcoming XCOM: Enemy Unknown attempts to mitigate this sense of detachment by doing away with a visible grid, and by swooping the camera around the action as you place your soldiers in cover and order them to fire on alien targets. I was able to play a series of missions during a preview event in Santa Monica and, while it may be a presumptuous move before I see more of the XCOM shooter title, I'm going to refer to Firaxis' turn-based effort as "the better one."
Bringing a classic to modern systems… and consoles
While moving each of your units one at time and firing from cover may give the sense of classic mechanics, the graphics and controls have been updated for modern sensibilities. You move your reticle to select where each unit goes, and the cursor snaps to positions where you'll be under cover. It's a wonderful mixture of freedom and precision and, while I'll still stick to the PC version upon release, this proves that turn-based strategy can work on modern consoles. Translating a classic turn-based franchise to a console-friendly interface is a familiar challenge for Firaxis; their Civilization Revolution was a critical and commercial success. Still, XCOM has hasn't appeared on a console since the mid-90s, and the most-recent XCOM strategy game (XCOM Intercepter) was released in 1998. "That's our biggest challenge, clearly. Maintaining the spirit of the original, but then re-imagining it in a way," Garth DeAngelis, the game's lead producer, told the Penny Arcade Report. "There have been many changes in game design, many changes in how narrative works. Getting that ingrained in the game as well has been a very big challenge." Fans of the franchise have many demands that DeAngelis thinks the team has met. I was promised a game that would live up to the difficulty of the original, and that preserved the signature feature of being able to level up your soldiers as well as your base. "We looked at the core systems of the original that the game had to have: the strategy layer versus the tactical, the turn-based play, the base expansion. Giving you destructible terrain, the fog of war, the classic aliens. We have a lot of elements there from the original, but we wanted to twist it and make it feel more appropriate in the modern day." Based on my time playing the game much of that "twisting" is done in the game's presentation. The camera is dynamic, snapping down over the shoulder of a soldier as he fires at an alien hiding behind cover. The camera moves above you if you select a grenade, allowing you to throw the explosive with precision. Short cinematics pepper the action, showing you how each turn plays out. The game isn't dumbed down, it simply does a good job of mixing the classic game play with modern camera work and aesthetics. The result is thrilling; the turn-based action feels like war.
The PC version
The game is still played on a grid, but DeAngelis explained that it was important to make it as invisible as possible for the console player. You don't notice it when you're positioning soldiers, but the squares become apparent as you select the place you'd like your soldier to take cover. "There's a grid there, but we looked at modernizing it," he said. "We looked at some of the other games that we know and love, like Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force. They have grids; they're literally 3D chess battlefields. We said we still want those mechanics, but we wanted to remove the illusion that you're on a chessboard." The demo stations were a weird beast that has proven to be popular in preview events lately: The game was running on a PC, but with Xbox 360 controllers and the console interface and controls. While the console version features impressive controls, I was promised that the PC version would take full advantage of mouse and keyboard. In fact, there is some question about what to do with the invisible grid on the PC. "We're concurrently developing a PC interface that maximizes the input for a PC crowd. You can do things like zoom out a little bit further to survey the landscape, and we're playing with a more visible grid, because when you actually have to do discrete pointing and clicking it makes more sense to see that," DeAngelis stated. "The console version has an underlying grid, but you can't see it. It feels more seamless. Showing [the grid] to the PC user? We're playing with that right now, asking ourselves if it feels better." I expressed some concern about the PC product, but he assured me I had nothing to worry about. "We do have resources dedicated to solving these problems with the PC." DeAngelis admitted there was some worry about a hardcore strategy game fitting into the modern market, but he's confident of the quality of the product. "I think the hardcore fans know and love it and remember playing it, but there is a huge player base that consider themselves hardcore that have never played XCOM before," he said. "I think there's an inherent appeal to this IP: aliens invading Earth. We wanted to embrace the original and not lose sight of what made it special. We think it will fit into the modern landscape nicely… Our wrinkle is that we're not a shooter, we do things differently. We think we can scratch an itch that players have never heard of XCOM and may not even know that they have." [Update: the article originally stated that XCOM has never appeared on a console. It has since been updated.]

I can see it now, sailing on the U.S.S. ACA (Affordable Care Act). We have been sailing in deep waters for going on five years as Capt. Obama has said more than 40 times, smooth waters ahead. He told us we could buy a cheap ticket for a long cruise. Even if the ship is going to hit an iceberg, you will be able to get on board one of our nice lifeboats. Only 15 percent won't be able to get on board, but think of it this way; not everyone is guaranteed safe passage, only the captain, navigators of congress, Dirty Harry Reid, forward lookouts, close cronies (called staff), most of the seamen (unions) have already latched onto their lifeboats. So why not get on board for the thrill of a lifetime. Ole Capt. Obama is trying to sell the "go no where" tickets at unbelievable prices. That is if you can stand in line long enough. I remember an old saying, "red skies at night, sailors delight; red skies in the morning, sailors take warning." Get on board the ACA, the nice red sun is shining, bon voyage.

May is mobility awareness month and one Raleigh County couple has entered a nation wide contest to help their 2-year old son with cerebral palsy.
Jennifer Dolinger and her husband were trying for a second child for 7 years! Finally, a miracle happened when they got pregnant with mason. Like every parent they counted his little fingers and toes. Everything appeared healthy until Mason got a little older. Jennifer said Mason was unable to achieve small milestones like pull himself up or standing.
"I will never forget the day it was December 22, we went in from them to tell us about his MRI and he just simply told us like he was telling us it was sunny outside that Mason has cerebral palsy," Jennifer said.
Jennifer explained she learned more from support groups online about her son's condition. Cerebral palsy is a disease that is a group of non-progressive, non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement. Doctors said it would severely impact Mason's mobility and ability to walk. Jennifer said she was heart broken when a doctor told her Mason would never walk, but this is not an answer the family would accept.
Jennifer said she set out on a mission to find the best treatments in our area. Mason's weeks are backed with doctors' appointments and therapy all to help him.
But these appointments are becoming more tasking for Mason's parents to travel too in their small 4-door car. The family's is pretty small and it is very difficult for the Dolinger family to pack up all of Mason's health equipment.
"It is kind of like a puzzle you just got to try and figure it out and get it in there. The bigger he is getting the bigger his equipment is getting and we are glad to get the equipment but it is just so hard to get there," Jennifer said. Jennifer said it can take up to 40 minutes to pack up her car.
Turning online for support, Jennifer found a nationwide competition to win a mobility van. 903 contestants are applying to win 3 mobility vehicles. As of Wednesday the family is in 34th place out of the 903 contestants.
The contest is being put on by National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA). The big winner will be selected May 20 NMEDA Selects Winners.
Jennifer said just as Mason is proving doctors wrong by taking even the smallest steps, she believes anything is possible.

Since I knew we would be celebrating his birthday at Disneyland I wanted him to stand out. Thank goodness I found Custom Ink, they were wonderful. The shirt turned out better that I ever imagined. My nephew had a great time and he loved his shirt."

For the 2012 season, the Orioles paid Robert Andino and Endy Chavez a total of $2.8 million to serve as the team's primary second baseman and fourth outfielder. For that modest investment, the O's got a whole lot of nothing. Andino hit for a .265 wOBA in 127 games. Chavez hit a .225 wOBA in 64 games. Primarily due to these offensive struggles, both players were sub-replacement level on the season.
Neither player will be back for the 2013 campaign in Baltimore. Instead, the O's have effectively replaced them with Alexi Casilla and Trayvon Robinson (or potentially Xavier Avery). Both Robinson and Casilla are upgrades on the field - though that says far more about Andino and Chavez's 2012 seasons than it does about the new players - and they are also upgrades on the wallet. They are projected to cost the Orioles about $2.3 million.
The O's didn't lose any prospects, and they got a little bit better and a little bit cheaper. This isn't the kind of move you usually see a blogger drop 200 words on, but I have to admire the efficiency at work here. It is strictly a fringe move - upgrading the last five spots on the roster - but it's where the Orioles have lived for a long time, opting away from the big ticket items in free agency. It is also where they succeeded in 2012.
I wrote last year about how new Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Dan Duquette's agenda was upgrading the bench, which had been a burden of sub-replacement players in 2010. Spending only a small amount of coin to bring in better backups could gain the O's something like 3 or 4 wins. What I was missing last year was that building the depth not only gave Baltimore better bench options, but it also gave them lotto tickets on potential starting players.
A million words have been splashed all over about Nate McLouth, and I won't add my stupid musings to the pile. Instead, let me consider the amount of attrition the Orioles suffered to get McLouth and fellow out-of-nowherer Miguel Gonzalez to be huge parts of their playoff team. When the O's signed those two players, they weren't anywhere close to major leaguers. That's why they got them on minor league deals. Neither were Lew Ford, or Miguel Tejada, or Bill Hall, or Matt Antonelli, or Jamie Moyer, or Joel Piniero, or Dontrelle Willis, or...it goes on. By my count, the Orioles acquired 16 of these kinds of players who made it onto the Orioles (counting Steve Pearce once), and at least a dozen more just from eyeballing the 2012 Norfolk roster.
They got two good seasons and a whole bunch of bad ones. Which sounds just about right - if not somewhat optimistic - when you're looking at these kinds of players. The odds of any one guy turning his career around are very slim, but stack enough of them up and voila! You have a surprising piece just in time for the stretch run. That's the strategy, anyway. It's certainly not unique to the Orioles; the Pirates' offseason shopping so far as been almost entirely these types of signings. But it worked to perfection for the 2012 O's, and it's clear they're looking to repeat their success in 2013.
Enter Danny Valencia, acquired yesterday from the Boston Red Sox for nothing but money. Valencia's the ideal candidate for the Orioles' war of attrition. He was really, truly horrible last year, hitting .188/.199/.299 in 44 games. He was better in 2011, but still pretty awful: .246/.294/.383 in 154 games. But his minor league track record isn't abysmal and he had a pretty good rookie season in 2010. It's buying low on a guy with faint upside - just like it was when the 2012 Orioles picked up the left-for-dead outfielder hitting .140 whose last okay season was three years earlier.
Basically: why not give Valencia a spin? His roster spot isn't vital, and he's cheap. If he flunks out then he flunks out. The money the O's spent to pick him up was already saved in the budget when they traded out Andino and Chavez for Casilla and Robinson. That's a nifty little trick. They probably even still have some left over for the next why-not minor league pickup.
Chone Figgins, come on down!
* * * * *
An addendum: David Gerstman pointed me to an article David Pinto wrote last year about the Orioles' small moves:
These are not exactly star-studded acquisitions. If you look through the list of players, however, you start to notice that they do some things well. [...] So what Dan Duquette did with his limited resources is bring in players who do something well. Buck Showalter's history shows that the manager is very good at putting players in situations where they can succeed.
With all of the roster tweaking Duquette's made himself known for, and with Showalter's demonstrated ability to use that kind of roster well, it's a real no-brainer that the Orioles are following this blueprint again.

Born on July 8, 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kevin Bacon's early training as an actor came from The Manning Street. His debut as the strict Chip Diller in Animal House (1978) almost seems like an inside joke, but he managed to escape almost unnoticed from that role. Diner (1982) became the turning point after a couple of television series ... See full bio »

An e-mail phishing attack sent to Target's air conditioning and refrigeration contractor could be to blame for the company's data breach.
Data security reporter Brian Krebs blogged Wednesday that the breach "appears to have begun with a malware-laced email phishing attack sent to employees at an HVAC firm that did business with the nationwide retailer."
Krebs said investigators think the source traces back to network credentials Target issued to Fazio Mechanical, a Pittsburgh-area air conditioning and refrigeration firm. The breach that unleashed credit card and personal data of over 110 million consumers may have started at least two months before thieves began stealing the data from thousands of Target registers, sources close to the investigation said.

Sources also said the malware was Citadel, "a password-stealing bot program that is a derivative of the ZeuS banking trojan," but that information is unconfirmed.
Fazio confirmed earlier in February it was the victim of a "sophisticated cyber attack operation" investigated by the Secret Service and possibly linked to the Target data breach.
"Like Target, we are a victim of a sophisticated cyber attack operation," owner Ross Fazio said in a statement. "We are fully cooperating with the Secret Service and Target to identify the possible cause of the breach and to help create proactive initiatives that will further enhance the security of client/vendor connections making them less vulnerable to future breaches."
Fazio's statement said the data connection to Target was for electronic billing, contract submission and project management but did not specify which areas of Target's online operations were accessed externally.

With free agency set to get underway on Tuesday at 3 p.m. the speculation and rumors have started percolating. More than anything, Vikings fans would love to see the team address their most glaring need: a wide receiver that could, you know, get open and catch the ball and stuff. Whether Percy Harvin is on the team next year or gets sent packing via trade, the Vikes need a wide receiver or two. Or three. It is highly likely they'll draft at least one wideout, but free agency would offer more immediate help.
And we're back! After a brief sabbatical, it's time to once again spew forth opinions, observations and speculation from our little VikesCentric corner of the interweb. A lot has transpired since I last checked in so here are a few quick thoughts on the happenings of the last few weeks before we look ahead:
Like it or not, the Vikings are committed to Christian Ponder for 2013. They will hopefully bring in a tested veteran to push Ponder, mentor the young quarterback, and provide insurance, but I highly doubt Joe Flacco, Michael Vick, or Alex Smith will be calling Winter Park home.
Instead, Rick Spielman will likely place their No. 1 priority on shoring up and improving the offensive talent around Ponder, and that starts with assessing and upgrading the wide receiver situation. The "assessing" part of the equation is key, as the first step in the Vikings' offseason plan will be to figure out what to do with the enigmatic Percy Harvin. Let him play out the final year of his deal and hope he plays nice? Trade him? Offer a long-term deal?
Harvin's situation requires its own blog post, but his status will obviously impact how the Vikings build the rest of the wide receiver group. Let's assume, as Leslie Frazier asserted earlier this week, that Harvin will be back in 2013. I'd then like to see the Vikings pay Phil Loadholt, pay Jerome Felton, and open up the purse strings for a talented wideout who is ready to step into the starting lineup opposite. Who will be available and a good fit?
(Note: I'm only including known free agents at this point. I'm not going to predict any potential cap casualties such as, for instance, Anquan Boldin.)
A-Level Talent
There will be five top-tier talents available, but I'm going to cross three off the list right away:
Wes Welker, Patriots: The prolific pass-catcher turns 32 this May, duplicates too much of what the Vikings already possess in Harvin and Jarius Wright, and needs to be in a high-volume passing attack. Pass.
Mike Wallace, Steelers: He has grumbled about not getting the ball this season and about the Steelers not throwing deep often enough. I love the explosiveness, but I can't imagine he would entertain joining an offense that lacks a vertical passing attack and requires him to share with Harvin and Adrian Peterson.
Victor Cruz, Giants (RFA): Keep dreaming.
That brings us to…
Greg Jennings, Packers: Vikings fans know his talents all too well, and we seem to get a kick out of signing former rivals. Jennings turns 30 this coming September, and he has broken down in recent seasons, missing eight games in 2012 and three contests in 2011. I have little doubt that he'd look good in Purple, but the price tag could be troublesome. Vincent Jackson, who is turns 30 this month, signed a five-year, $55 million deal with the Buccaneers last March. Jennings boasts a better statistical resume but also brings his injury history, so five years and $55 million could be in the ballpark for what he ultimately receives. Would you pay it? It feels steep and risky to me right now, but ask me again in two months.
Dwyane Bowe, Chiefs: The Andy Reid hiring may mean the Chiefs will be more serious about bringing Bowe back, but if he hits the market and if the Vikings are willing to spend big, he would be my top target. Bowe, who is a year younger than Jennings, carries some baggage, but he is also the big-bodied, No. 1-type receiver who makes sense opposite Harvin. And it doesn't hurt that he is accustomed to catching passes from
terrible less-than-perfect quarterbacks. We need play-making wideouts who can consistently win 50-50 battles (and instill confidence in Ponder to throw those type of passes) and Bowe will be the best option on the open market.
Second Tier
Brian Hartline, Dolphins: The market for Hartline will be very interesting to watch. If the Dolphins don't re-sign him early, Hartline could linger on the market and either (1) get a ridiculous desperation offer from a team that misses out on Wallace, Jennings or Bowe or (2) end up with a low-end bargain deal. He underwhelmed for three years before exploding for 1,083 yards this season. Nearly one quarter of that total came in one game (253 yards, Week 4), and he managed only one touchdown all season. I don't want the Vikings to be the ones who gamble on his breakout year being for real.
Danny Amendola, Rams: A slot receiver who was only healthy enough to play 12 games over the past two seasons? Where do I sign up?!? Amendola isn't a good fit for the Vikings right now, but I'm already anticipating someone like the Patriots, Broncos or Saints turning a cheap two-year contract into 200 catches over the next two seasons.
Danario Alexander, Chargers (RFA): The Chargers aren't letting him leave.
Other Guys
Donnie Avery, Colts: I'd take him at the same deal the Colts paid him this season (one-year, $615,000), but he is likely to receive a couple million to be some team's No. 3 wideout. I'd be okay with Avery if the price is decent, but I don't think he's an upgrade over...
Jerome Simpson, Vikings: Yep, we're already to that point in the free agent rankings.
Kevin Ogletree, Cowboys: He starred in the Cowboys' season opener (114 yards, two scores) before fading into the background and losing reps to Dwayne Harris and Cole Beasley. He's worth a look on a cheap one-year deal to replace Devin Aromashodu.
Domenik Hixon, Giants: He's not sexy, but Hixon is one of the mid/lower-level receivers I'd like the Vikings to take a look at. He can be a veteran leader, runs good routes, has shown sticky hands, chips in on special teams, and should be fairly cheap.
Brandon Gibson, Rams: The 25-year-old wideout started 34 games for the Rams over the last three years, but I'll forgive you if you didn't notice. He set career-highs with 51 catches, 691 yards, and five touchdowns this season and received positive marks from both Pro Football Focus and Football Outsiders. He is another mid/lower-tier guy that I like as long as the price tag is reasonable.
And with that, we've quickly dwindled down to names like Randy Moss, Ramses Barden, Braylon Edwards, Jabar Gaffney, Devery Henderson, and Mohamed Massaquoi - receivers who rabid fans don't dream about in January when trying to dig for difference-making talents. At this point, we're better off turning our attention to the early rounds of the NFL draft, which will be a hot topic for the coming months.
The Vikings are taking a break from training camp workouts on Sunday before reconvening with pads on Monday. As I took my leave from Mankato Saturday afternoon, I did so with an appreciation for the chicken fingers and fries at Boomtown. I also left town with some initial thoughts and impressions from the first two days of Vikings camp.
In Part 1 of this series, we identified five Vikings who will need to improve and/or deliver upon their potential for the team to have any shot at the playoffs in 2012. We continue now with the final five players on the list.
OL Phil Loadholt – Loadholt has had an up-and-down career thus far. He's shown flashes of brilliance as a road-grading run blocker, but has been maddeningly inconsistent in pass protection. The same massive size that allowed him to rank as Pro Football Focus's No. 1 run blocker in the NFL last year also causes problems against quick defensive ends and linebackers. PFF counts nine sacks allowed by Loadholt (only five tackles on either the left or right side allowed more) and a whopping 32 quarterback hurries (among the 15 worst tackles in the league). With Matt Kalil theoretically locking down the left side for the next decade, John Sullivan making big money in the middle, and a number of solid veterans vying for action at the two guard spots, the spotlight will be squarely on Loadholt in his contract year. If he can harness his obvious physical talent and improve his pass blocking, he could be in line for a big-money deal next offseason. It's unclear if the Vikes would be interested in locking him up to a lucrative long-term deal, but they'd love for him to play well enough in 2012 to make it a tough decision.
RB Toby Gerhart – Loadholt's ability to block for the Vikings running backs might be magnified in 2012 if Adrian Peterson is either forced to miss time or isn't back to 100 percent this season. No matter what AP's status is, Gerhart is going to play a big role in the Vikings backfield. Gerhart played very well in two different stints as the main Vikings ballcarrier last year; he scored once and went over 90 yards twice in a three-game span that Peterson missed because of injury in Weeks 12-14, then went over 100 yards on just 11 carries in the calamitous victory over the Redskins in Week 16. We can be sure Gerhart isn't going to single-handedly win games like AP is (or was) capable of doing, but his ability to keep the chains moving will be pivotal to the development of Christian Ponder and the passing game. If Gerhart proves incapable of carrying the load in Peterson's stead, the Vikings have virtually no depth behind him to turn to.
DL/LB Everson Griffen – The former fourth-round pick was viewed as a second-round talent coming out of USC in 2010, and the Vikings thus far have seen both the good (four sacks and frequent quarterback pressure as a part-timer last year) and the bad (a public intoxication arrest in 2011) from Griffen early in his career. The hope is that the off-the-field issues are behind Griffen as he attempts to transition from defensive line to linebacker in 2012. As an undersized edge rusher, Griffen is a bit of a square peg in the round hole of the Vikings' 4-3 defensive alignment, but the ability to rush the passer will play in any scheme. Griffen has obvious physical talents (he was ranked as the No. 3 "prospect" in the NFL in a recent article by Football Outsiders), and if he continues where he left off in 2011 he could become a deadly counterpart to Jared Allen. Harrassing the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, and Jay Cutler is obviously of paramount importance in the NFC North, so getting a productive Griffen on the field will be a key challenge for the Vikings defensive coaching staff. Griffen has the makings of a star, but there are still a lot of questions to answer.
TE John Carlson – For distinctly different reason from Chris Cook, Carlson has a lot to prove in 2012 as well. The oft-injured tight end's pressure to perform comes solely as a result of the jaw-dropping five-year, $25 million free agent contract he landed from the Purple at the start of free agency. The addition of Carlson was surprising not only because of the size of the contract, but because of the presence of second-year tight end Kyle Rudolph, who was expected to be one of Christian Ponder's top targets after it became clear the Vikings wouldn't re-sign free agent Visanthe Shiancoe. Carlson, who missed all of 2011 with a shoulder injury, must prove that he still possesses the pass-catching acumen he did while racking up 12 touchdowns in 2008 and 2009 in Seattle. His arrival means the team will roll out plenty of two-tight end sets, and they likely have grand visions of a New England-type offense that features two elite pass-catching tight ends, a dominant slot receiver, and just enough outside receivers to keep a team honest. It's ludicrous to suggest that Ponder, Carlson, Rudolph, and Percy Harvin can even approximate the well-oiled machine run by Tom Brady in New England, but it certainly appears that's the model. If Carlson gets hurt or if offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave proves incapable of using his assets efficiently and effectively, the natives are going to get extremely restless.
QB Christian Ponder – Ponder may be the most obvious name on this list, but he's worth discussing. Even if it turns out the front office nailed every draft pick and every offseason acquisition (and, frankly, even if the other nine names on this list all go boom in 2012), none of it will matter if Ponder can't take significant strides forward in 2012. While he brought some excitement and displayed moments of brilliance in 2011, there were plenty of rookie mistakes and, of course, plenty of nagging injuries. Assuming Ponder stays healthy, Vikings fans need to hope he learned from his mistakes last year, that his grasp of the offense will improve after a full offseason program, and that the efforts to upgrade the offensive talent around him will bear fruit. The Vikings will undoubtedly be happy if Ponder simply shows modest improvement over 2011 and at least limits his mistakes, but will that be enough for an impatient fan base that's been rejuvenated by the new stadium? Will it be Ponder under center when the new stadium opens in 2016? If he treads water or regresses in 2012, will the team have to move on to Plan B already next year? Will Leslie Frazier be around to find out? Will Rick Spielman? Failure to develop a first-round investment in a quarterback can set a franchise back for years. No pressure, though, Christian!
How will we look back on the Vikings' 2012 draft? The Purple could reap a harvest of multiple Pro Bowlers, consistent starters and quality reserves, as they did in 2007 and 2003. They could bring aboard a heap of busts that would make the 2005 draft look decent by comparison. Or they could land somewhere in the middle.
Let's take a look at their last 10 drafts to see how each group of rookies stack up. For the purposes of our discussion, we've sorted the picks into the following categories:
Pro Bowlers: Actually selected to the Pro Bowl roster, not named as a replacement for an injured player or a Super Bowl participant
Starters: Have started at least eight games in a season, either for the Vikings or another team

Vitamins are essential organic compounds promoting and regulating numerous physiological processes such as growth, health, fertility and performance. They are effective in small amounts, but as a rule animals are unable to synthesize many of these compounds at all or in sufficient quantities so that they must be included in the diet. In addition vitamins can lose their effectiveness, be inactivated or even destroyed by oxygen, light or warmth. Supplementing the diet daily with NEKTON-DOG-V is the answer in both cases.
The vitamin supplement NEKTON-DOG-V has been formulated to meet the special needs of a dog's body. Above all the amount of every single vitamin and its effective relationship to the others have been taken into account when combining these vital substances. Every effort has been made to achieve the best possible answer to a dog's requirements in vitamins, and in order to enable the vitamins to do their work effectively their co-factors in the enzyme systems - minerals such as calcium and magnesium and trace elements - have been added to the formula.
Times of increased or sudden strain like young growth, gestation, lactation, performance, illness and age, to name but a few, occur naturally and regularly in the life of a dog, and require an extra supply of vitamins to the body.
This is where NEKTON-DOG-V comes into its own. NEKTON-DOG-V should be added to the food as a supplement to cover a dog's specific vitamin requirements for normal health or in times of stress as necessary.
Formulated to meet the latest research findings on vitamin requirements, NEKTON-DOG-V is tasty vitamin supplement for all breeds of dogs. Click here for complete product details in PDF format.

Modern wood paneling has no doubt progressed since the 70's, proving it's a trend that will be around for a while! We love the use of wood paneling on walls, ceilings, floors, and all-over because it has the ability to soften up a space. The white wood planks on the walls of this kitchen (above) create a very clean, natural feel. The oiled white oak floor warms up the space and the use of the same material over the hood is a feature design element. See how even this little accent of the natural wood on the walls can make such a big statement.
The marine plywood panels on the ceiling create a unifying element within this space. The use of wood on the ceiling allows you to use tile on the floor without the space feeling too cold.
Reclaimed wood walls are a very popular trend right now. They mix so beautifully with bold colors and industrial elements. The use of industrial wall sconces against reclaimed wood is the perfect pairing.
Wrapping the walls and ceiling of this rustic bathroom in un-milled, reclaimed wood is a great way to achieve that rustic modern cabin feel. The use of light wood planks and the light concrete floor feels bright and airy, creating a beautiful contrast with the black vanity.
Today, restaurant design uses reclaimed wood to achieve an industrial modern feel. It's a trendy look, creates a cozy atmosphere, and also helps absorb sound. Bronze pendant lights really are the perfect metallic accent in any modern, industrial interior. Gunmetal accents also work perfectly with this industrial modern feel.
Whether you're going for a modern-rustic or chic-industrial, incorporating wood paneling or reclaimed wood into your space can provide you layers of textures that bring softness and warmth. It's a trend that will definitely be around for awhile!

Today's Google "doodle" depicts colourful elements key to the methods of Montessori education. The fun graphics is in commemoration of the 142nd birthday of Maria Montessori who is of course known for the philosophy of education that she pioneered.
The Montessori approach is based around learning in an environment in which a number of physical objects are situated to stimulate natural instincts and self-directed learning.
The Children's School in Stamford, Connecticut (both images) is located in Stamford, Connecticut. The design of this Montessori School for children aged 2-8 is based around the concept of a "one room schoolhouse", with each space connected to the next as well as to interior connected to the outdoors. The natural environment was also high on the agenda in the school's construction with the building obtaining a LEED certification.
Never underestimate the impact of a child's surroundings when it comes to their education...
Let's celebrate education today... And modern architecture of course!

Why not hold on to Summer as long as possible and just follow it?! This portable beach house design will let you do just that!
Designed by Crosson, Clarke, Carnachan Architects, this home was made to rest within the coastal erosion zone, where all buildings must be removable. So, the "hut" is designed on two thick wooden sleds for movement.
The interiors, like the architecture, were kept simple. But no space should go without modern seating and simple home decor.
What a view! And to think, you could actually turn this home for a different view if you really wanted...
And away they go...

It's not always bad to be passive, especially when it comes to sustainable building. Passive Houses are starting to stack up worldwide and this means good things for widespread, dramatic impact on energy conservation.
You might be wondering what is a Passive House? Well, this level of sustainable building is a concept that represents today's highest energy standard with the promise of slashing the heating energy consumption of buildings by an amazing 90%!
"Passive" describes the system's underlying receptivity and retention capacity. A Passive House is a very well-insulated, a virtually air-tight building that is primarily heated by passive solar gain and by internal gains from people, electrical equipment, etc.
When architect couple Milena Karanesheva and Mischa Witzmann decided it was time for more space, they decided to give up city life and build a Passive House outside of the French capital. They settled on the small town of Bessancourt, about 17 miles northwest of Paris.
The bamboo that they decided to cover the house in, creates an avoidance of heat gain through shading and window orientation also helps to limit any cooling load, which is similarly minimized.
They incorporated double-flow ducts into the home's interior, exposing them at various points. They distribute fresh air, keeping temperatures around 66 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 71 degrees in the summer, never going higher than 78. Perfect, right?
They kept the interiors simple and modern through contemporary seating and stylish, modern lighting.
It can't hurt to incorporate even some of the sustainable elements of a Passive House. Ironically, it would be a very determined and progressive step forward for any of us to take on....

A lorry has broken down in the southbound carriageway between junction 4A for the M42 and junction five for Droitwich and Wychbold, causing congestion to junction four for the A38.
A car has also broken down in the northbound carriageway in the same area.
One lane is closed in both directions.
The hard shoulder is also closed due to roadworks.
