Ratings for Dr. Elizabeth Lythgoe
Arrogant, rude, in a rush. I had questions she wasn't willing to answer and she told me to talk to the people at the CNIB. The CNIB?? I was nowhere near blind! I hope she retired. Nobody should have to put up with her.
I have been under Dr. Lythgoe's care for almost twenty years. I have found her to be professional, extremely knowledgable and always willing to go beyond the norm to ensure excellent patient care. Never have I met a physician of any practice who is as innately competent and precise in her doagnosis, treatment and ongoing care. Truly the best!
I worked for Dr. Lythgoe for many years as did other long term staff. We retired in April of 2015.. She was truly appreciative and caring towards her staff. Doctor Lythgoe never failed to be dedicated to her profession patients and colleagues, no matter if they were old favorites or some of the more difficult individuals we all encounter during our lives. She was completely open honest and ethical while taking great pleasure in helping people with her encyclopedic knowledge and superior skills. I know that she was genuinely touched by all the well wishes given by patients she met over the many years in central Alberta during her career and retirement. We both have many fond memories of you. Barry
Treated me very poorly, rushed and unprofessional. Seemed disturbed to the point of crazy. I wonder if she should seek some mental health services.
She did my cataract surgery last year. It turned out that she had troubles and it was complicated. Supposedly the capsule broke. Then she made it sound like she fixed it and that all was going to be fine. I was able to see after some time of recovery and drops. She never warned me that this complication carries a high risk of retinal detachment later and that is what happened. I developed a retinal detachment about 7 months later and had to see a retinal specialist who did two surgeries trying to fix it. My vision never recovered. It was very ignorant and irresponsible of her not to inform me of consequences of the complication and what to lookout for as far as symptoms were. Instead she "discharged me" to the care of an optometrist in Red Deer who did not know either so he said nothing and just gave me annual appointments for glasses so I had no real professional follow ups for my retina. The optometrist eventually caught on when I was missing part of my vision and referred me to a retinal specialist.
While waiting a long time to see this Dr my husband noticed much of the Dr's training was at a veterinary college. We were appalled at how badly patients were being treated in the waiting room. Seeing the Dr did not improve things. I had questions she wasn't willing to answer. I know a Drs time is valuable so am very conscientious about what I ask and say, but this Dr had no patience to answer any questions. I needed sedation for my procedure, which she didn't do, and she claimed she didn't know of anyone who did sedation. If I left without booking the surgery it was going to be 6 months before I could get another appointment with her, she said. I was blind in 1 eye, but her behavior with me was so unprofessional and rude that I decided I'd rather anyone else do the surgery. I found out there certainly were Drs who did the surgery with anesthesia, and it seemed she should know this, so she was just trying to scare me into choosing her. I'm in my 50s and have never been so concerned about a Dr that I've taken these steps, but in this case I'm so glad I did! I wouldn't refer this Dr to anyone. No one deserves this kind of treatment from someone who's supposed to be a professional.
God am I ever glad Dr. Lee took over. What an attitude change. Clearly it was time for her to go as she was losing her marbles I think. Wherever she went cannot wish her good luck.
I have been seeing Dr. Lythgoe for many years and I was told that I had ARMD and cataracts. She told me to take lutein. She was always rude and quick with me. No chance to ask questions. I suggested that my optometrist thought maybe I had glaucoma and she dismissed it that optometrists do not know anything. Then she retired and I found her replacement Dr. Lee so much more helpful and pleasant. I then found out I had glaucoma all along and quite advanced, so I get the feeling it was missed and ignored. Glaucoma of that nature does not happen overnight. Most of my optic nerves are now dead and we are struggling to keep whatever is still working alive with drops. It was a blessing for the Red Deer community to see her go before she blinded more people.
Wonderful doctor and staff, well respected and liked. Sorry she retired
One of the most arrogant doctors I've ever seen. When I tried to ask her questions, she told me to talk to the CNIB. I'm nowhere near blind.

Letter(s) from Alisa to Tim (Belgium)
Letter 1
HI Dear
So pleasure to write you, I hope that my letter will be a good beginning in our relations.
I am very interested in your profile, and although I just recently looking for a friend on the Internet, I hope that you had to write it the correct decision ...
I really want to find anyone capable of becoming me this building.
I must say to you that is not interested in a long correspondence, because I believe that the letter can not substitute for real communication.
Now I want to talk a little about myself personally.
I was born in the town of Voronezh, which was still alive.
My parents are divorced have a very long time. Father, I almost did not know he died When I was still quite small. Mom a few years ago she married and left.
Now I live alone.
I'm working on a specialty from the University, a manager in construction firm.
I know the English language, thanks to special courses, so easy to support the dialogue)
I very much hope that dialogue did take place ...
I certainly await your response, I hope to learn more about you, your city, your interests and thoughts.
Also, I am very interested to know how long you are looking for a women on the Internet and why.
I will wait for you to answer in the near future,
Your Alisa
Letter 2
Oh! so nice to see response from you
I hope that we truly become interested in each other,
While I recognize that we have already taken the first steps to know each other better
I hope that everything that I wrote to you also interested
was pleased to see letter from you that I am increasingly able to understand your personality
Maybe soon we can have good imagine about us, as you know, this is very important for serious relations. You probably already knew that age and other is not so important.
Just want to say about the questions and to you and me from you. My letter will always contain the answers
But not too formal. That is really my letters you have to completely read and I also hope that you are well aware of this and I think as well.
Perhaps time has come to tell you a little bit that I might want to serious relations. I would like to ask you about children, whether you want it.
I hope it does because the children are fine. Honey, I really want to start new and hopefully wonderful life
And perhaps, if we can close in the letters that will help us build relationships serious
I hope to hear from you as soon as possible and understand you
And i Kiss you!
Your Alisa
Letter 3
It is very good that you write to me again. I am just very pleased that you are really interested in me as a person and understand my words correctly.
And I think I am just as well understand you. This is a very pleasant feeling.
I just want to tell you that mean to me a serious relationship.
I had a lot of romantic relationships, but ignorance of them, I can claim true serious, but none of them did not give me love and understanding. Always all ports mistrust and meanness.
I want to tell you about it, only it for you better understand how much I can to feel love, and how badly did not want me offened
I am very capable of love, but someone simply can not understand.
Several years ago, when I left for vacation at sea, I met with a young man from Moscow. This novel was beautiful, and I thought that I found rights which I need. I went with him to Moscow. We lived together and he gave me to work in your company, office manager for a good manager.
Over time, I became increasingly noticing that he had something concealed from me. Each trifle has been talking to me about this. i did not want him to check, because I think
We do not have to check the honesty of people who love. Love as I thought.
He was tender and always talked to me about love, then I discovered that he had changed me.
I am now very painful to remember it. He deceived me, and destroyed the real strengths feelings. I had to go home, in Samara. I do not know anyone in Moscow
but I could not have located him nearby.
And now, years later, I was very scared to submit that this could happen again.
And I really want to ask you to never make me hurt. I do not want to relive this again. I hope you understand how much this means to me. But I believe that we understand each other.
I am forced to conclude this letter, the memories are very strong.
I will wait for your answer, and think of you.
Your Alisa

It is very difficult to describe the feelings are beginning to test people at the very beginning communication with the person who pleasant to me.) I just want to say that you were sincere and honest with me. I am capable of great feeling when people close to me loves.

Letter 10
Dear, I managed to learn some details about the trip.
I have little understanding how and what is happening, but I think together we can understand how to implement my trip to you.
All travel will cost slightly more than 1000 usd, possibly 1200 usd.
This amount includes payment for a visa, international passport and the purchase of tickets.
I was first brought to Moscow, where I lie down in Paris.
And I do not have to worry about the documents, the agency assumes responsibility for processing all the necessary travel documents. But, my dear, I am afraid that this sum would be for you too much. I really want to see you.
I hope that everything will turn out. But I also said that the documents will be made only after receipt of payment for all travel.
Dear, please write me what you think about this?
I will wait for your response.
Kisses you.
Your Alisa.
Letter 11

I will wait your new letter.
Kisses you.

I studied architecture in high school. The building below, Kloosterstraat 31 in Antwerp, was going to be protected, but the original blueprints were lost. The assignment for our class was to re-create the drawings. I volunteered to do the façade. The drawing below is a reconstruction on PC based on my notebooks from that time. (Everything was done by hand; PCs didn't exist yet.)
My original drawing was at scale 1:20 (about A1 format).

The Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG) consists of 100 wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time and money to help animals find a loving home. Although based in Romeo, Michigan we reach out to communities as far as Detroit to help out neglected, sick, and mistreated animals.
Speaking of Detroit, our Detroit Outreach missions are held on the first and third Saturday of every month. These are special days as we work relentlessly to save the strays of Detroit.(Yes, we can use your help!) Meeting locations are posted on our Facebook page that week. During our missions, sick and injured animals are taken in and others are fed. Education, dog houses, straw and food are provided along with transport to spay/neuter appointments.
Please know that all donations go directly to the care of our animals. They are provided age appropriate vaccines, heart worm/Feline leukemia tests, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, microchipped, and any other care they may need, whether behavioral or medical.
Please feel free to contact us but remember, we are all volunteers, and have families and careers so please be patient and someone will return you're call, or email ASAP.
Important: Please see our friends at PetFinder.com for a list of animals available for adoption.
Thank you very much for your support!

2016 Exhibitions at Oysterponds
The OHS is proud to present our 2016 summer exhibitions in the Village House and in the Janet T. Swanson Gallery of the Old Point Schoolhouse. The exhibits are open all summer every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2-5 pm, with free admission and fun crafts for children.
*The exhibition Curiosities in the Schoolhouse will open on Saturday, July 2nd. This exhibition will display some of the more unusual items in the collection. Many of the objects have never been on view before – some because they are very large, others because they are one-of-a-kind. Perhaps the most intriguing items are those with an international flavor: objects that came to Oysterponds from the far corners of the world thanks to our sailors and ship captains. Objects of note include Fijian war clubs, a shark's teeth saber, and a sea chest from the first American ship to enter a Japanese port.

Thanks to the outcry from consumers across the world in the wake of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in April 2013, the Bangladesh Safety Accord drove a policy change among retailers operating in Bangladesh and has resulted in 112 brands committing to the Accord to date, covering at least 1,600 factories and securing the safety of over 2 million workers, mostly women, in Bangladesh.
This is an unprecedented development in the acceptance by retailers of responsibility for safety in their supply chains.
Despite over 1 million signatures from across the world Walmart and GAP continue to refuse to sign up, despite having significant manufacturing in Bangladesh and here in Ireland Dunnes Stores still refuse to acknowledge their consumer's demands and sign the agreement.

FAIRLAWN, Ohio - A former Marine receives a new truck and $1,000 in cash thanks to Montrose Ford and Wounded Warriors Family Support.
Montrose Ford in Fairlawn presented a new Ford F-150 truck to a 28-year-old retired Marine from Cincinnati who lost his left foot as a result of a combat injury in Afghanistan.
The Ford dealership raised $37,000 through fundraisers and customer donations throughout the year and donated those funds to the Wounded Warriors Family Support "Mobility is Freedom" program.
Cpl. Joshua Sust, 28 was given the mobility-equipped 2015 Ford F-150 along with $1,000 in a ceremony at Montrose Ford.
"I'm totally blessed and speechless," says Sust. "This is going to allow me so much more legroom than my car and I can put my wheelchair in the back, it's just going to give me better overall ability in my life." Sust is just learning to walk with his prosthetic leg and wants to go back to school to study biomechanical engineering and one day build prosthetics.Share:

If Harry is hesitant, then at least a dozen other Democratic senators are feeling the same way. At this point, I don't think the President's machine is able to maneuver as much as it did six months ago.
The #1 goal of the Dems, by far, is only to give Dem Senators a chance to vote against Feinstein-type disarmament laws.
To show these Dems are "conservative, mainstream, and bipartisan and moderate" before the next election!
That's their main goal.
Way down their wish-list is passing a bill that seems reasonable to their liberal base in the media and having them beat up Republicans for voting against it. That's just too hard to win at on this issue.

Parenting is such a thing that everybody thinks she knows how to do it perfectly, especially if it not about her own child. Breastfeeding is also a 'topic of everybody' – when, where, how, how long and so on. It can be very confusing if everybody provides different information, and the situation is more problematic if they belong to your close family.
Here I'd like to collect some views about breastfeeding which can be useful in the first few months. I also had to face these problems, but now I know what to do to give the best to my child.
I'd like to share two other problems with you with which I don't have personal experience but I heard about them or some of my friends experienced them. I hope these will also be useful for you.
This is not a complete list, but I'd try to collect the most common problems for the first few months. But it is not an impossible mission to overcome them. Believe me I'm a practicing mother of a 2-year-old boy and a 3-month-old girl and I'm a breastfeeding fan!

Picture: Robbie Williams arrives smoking a cigarette for the football match LA Vale vs. O'Briens Santa Monica, California - 07.06.07
Robbie Williams enjoyed seeing England soccer captain David Beckham in a fit of nerves moments before his performance at the London leg of Live 8 this summer (02JUL05), because it made him realise he wasn't the only one dreading taking the stage.
The ANGELS singer admits he was anxious about performing at the charity supergig in the British capital's Hyde Park, which was screened to millions of TV viewers around the globe.
But Williams' nerves were calmed by the sight of Beckham feeling the pressure backstage just before the sports star introduced him to the audience.
He jokes, "I did take a sadistic pleasure in the fact that he was s**tting it.
"If the captain of England was nervous, then it was OK for me to be."
"This is one of those avant-garde things, is it?" says a droll, dubious and dying...

Ever since NYTimes.com launched in 1996, the vast majority of our articles have been written for our print newspaper first and then converted (sometimes with great difficulty) for publication on the Web. Yes, we have a growing number of blogs that are Web native. But even when we began developing our in-house Web content management system (CMS), Scoop, five years ago, it was difficult to imagine a time when the old publishing paradigm of "Print First" would be seriously challenged, so entrenched were the habits and traditions of our newsroom.
Yet over the past couple of years, the demands of a 24 x 7 real-time news cycle, a rise in social media, and many innovations in interactive storytelling, have made writing in a print newspaper CMS, then converting text for the Web seem less of a good idea. In fact, more of our journalists were writing from the outset with an online audience in mind. They were asking for new technology that not only made that possible, but easy.
That's why our Web CMS team embarked on an ambitious project called Web First to turn that old publishing paradigm on its head. To have our journalists write and edit articles in the Web CMS, we needed a world-class text editor — one with almost all the features in the customized word processor used by our editors. And the must-have feature was the ability to track changes as an article moved through the editing process.
You would think it would be relatively easy to find an open source, browser-based text editor with that functionality, and more. Unfortunately, no open source editors existed, and the vendor solutions we piloted turned out to be buggy or otherwise unusable.
So we decided to write our own. For part of the project, we teamed up with developers, notably Andrew Ozz at Automattic. (The Times uses WordPress as its blogs platform and owns a small stake in Automattic, the company that runs WordPress.com.) The idea was that we could build a plugin that could be used by editors in The Times' Web CMS, Scoop, and in WordPress.
More importantly, we found and depended on a cross-browser range library, rangy, to help us walk through, manipulate, and modify the Document Object Model (DOM) behind the editor. We also based our code around, and got a lot of inspiration from, the track changes implementation behind the WYSIWYG in the vendor product, Squiz CMS.
With a base in place and the right tools at our disposal, we implemented track changes in JavaScript – a project we call ICE, for Integrated Content Editor, available on github at https://github.com/NYTimes/ice/. (Check out the demo.)
How ICE Works
ICE wraps changes and user-generated inserts and deletes inline in the DOM and stores a sufficient amount of data about each change in node attributes.
We went with the "inline" approach because other implementations, which use placeholders and store data (really metadata about a change or the content of deleted text) outside of the editor or in a reserved DOM element, had nasty bugs. With all of the data packed into each node, we used ranges, position markers in the DOM, to examine the change nodes and get an understanding of the current context — for example, are we in an insert or delete, and is it by the same user? — before adding more changes.
Where can ICE be used?
ICE can be initialized to listen for events and track changes on any HTML element that is content-editable. Since it is not a text editor itself, ICE has to be plugged into other text editors that provide the core text editing functionality. So far, we have developed plugins for TinyMCE and WordPress. Over the last several months, with great success, we have been piloting the TinyMCE plugin in our newsroom.
Since our articles contain a very limited subset of HTML (tags like "a", "strong", "em") and only one type of root level block elements ("p"), ICE is limited to work only within a configurable block level tag, with any number or type of inner inline tags. In other words, any editor content must be inline and inside of common block level tags.
Since our Editors use modern web browsers — like Firefox and Webkit — we haven't been able to test ICE fully in Internet Explorer, or really across any older browsers. Please check the repository/documentation for updates on browser support and known issues.
Lastly, ICE depends on the fine jQuery DOM library. Fortunately, we wrapped all of our jQuery usage and we do intend on writing additional adapters.
Where is the Code?
ICE is a customizable JavaScript library that will allow you to track changes in any element that is contenteditable, or in a TinyMCE or WordPress text editor. At this early stage, ICE has some limitations, but we think it is a very useful tool and hope that others will help us expand the project.
Patches and forks are welcome at the repository for ICE, https://github.com/NYTimes/ice/.

Loved this episode, nearly every bit was great. Very well written and a nice mix.
The scenes at Phyllis' house were great (much as I don't think Cybil can act, they were very funny with Bette/Jodi).
The school thing with Shane and Paige was a little OTT, but a nice change, a good mini direction.
The Helena thing was good...I love how she won in the end. I wish she had left C/Katherine wanting her though...I thought she was supposed to meet her at a presidential suite? Was that a hotel? :shock:
Papi had some fab lines! :shock: I like her sometimes, but this episode she seemed the really insightful one.
Alice/Tasha were gorgeous, though the helicopter ride was a little unrealistis and I didn't like how bossy Tasha was when Alice showed up. Love how it's all 'Tasha is in the Army and has stronger moals than everyone'. Alice's 'you're black?' line was perfect, so few actors could manage a line like that.
I kind of agree about Bette and Jodi not having much sexual chemistry. I love Bette, and I love Jodi, so why do their scenes seem a little bit of a let-down ever since they actually got together? They seemed more chemical in the first few eps IMO. I hate how they're setting them up for ruin :cry: I DON'T want Tibette.
I still don't actually understand why Jenny didn't change names and characters more for Lez Girls. I don't think that's been properly explained. So obvious she was going to screw Tina over, not that she owed Tina anything. I can't believe the lenghts Tina is going to for her work either.
Poor Kit. Bette isn't there for her either :(
Surprised we haven't seen the discriminated against woman from Max's work again yet.
Anyway, a fab episode, great dialogue, nice mix of romantic/funny/emotional/etc :)

Choosing to Breed During Foal Heat
- Mar 1, 2007
- Topics:
So, is there any reason to breed during foal heat?
What is Foal Heat?
"Foal heat" is the term used to describe the first estrus or heat that occurs after a mare delivers a foal. During this time the mare ovulates and can become pregnant again. Typically, estrus occurs every 21 to 22 days in the mare and lasts four to seven days. A large follicle develops on an ovary, growing to a size of 35-55 mm or more in diameter. Most mares will show behavioral signs of heat throughout estrus, including signs of interest in a stallion, squatting to urinate, and "winking" to show the clitoris. It is not until the last 24-48 hours of estrus, however, that the follicle ruptures and ovulation occurs. Only then is the mare able to conceive.
The process of foaling stimulates the mare to begin cycling within a matter of days. The typical interval from the time of foaling to the beginning of foal heat is eight to 12 days. Some mares enter foal heat sooner. Interestingly, season of the year plays a role here. Mares that foal early in the year, from January to March, tend to experience a longer interval; they reach foal heat about 15 days after foaling. In comparison, mares foaling later in the season, in April and May, tend to have the shortest interval, about six to seven days. Research has shown that optimal conception rates are achieved when mares are bred at least 10 days after foaling. Therefore, if a mare enters foal heat too early, ovulation might occur before this 10-day point and before breeding is recommended.
Why Breed On Foal Heat?
The reason to breed during foal heat is simple--economics. Each mare in a commercial breeding herd can produce one foal every year if successfully bred within 20 days of foaling. Delivering one foal per year maximizes the number of foals a mare produces over a reproductive lifetime. Breeding during foal heat minimizes the interval between foaling dates from year to year, which is particularly important for certain breeds such as the Thoroughbred. (The longer the foal has to grow before sale, the better. Late yearlings usually are smaller at sales.) Foal heat breeding is an important tool for successful money management of large commercial farms that are in the business of producing and selling yearlings. The use of this tool, however, requires intensive management of each individual mare if it is to be used successfully.
The goal of breeding at foal heat is not to get each mare to conceive at all costs. When working with a commercial herd, the individual mare must be considered as a part of a group. How quickly that one mare becomes pregnant will impact the economic success of the entire herd. In other words, the overall goals of the herd must be considered. These goals are to get as many mares pregnant with the fewest possible number of matings, and to get live foals from as many pregnant mares as possible.
Research has shown that conception rates achieved during foal heat are slightly lower than those at later heats. Therefore, if a mare is chosen for breeding during foal heat, it is critical that every effort be made to maximize her chances of conception. Not every mare will be chosen for foal heat breeding; only those mares physically ready for another pregnancy should be bred at that time.
Choosing a Candidate
Mares that experience a difficult foaling should not be considered for breeding on foal heat. They need time to recuperate, as do mares that have post-foaling complications, such as retained fetal membranes or endometritis (inflammation of the innermost lining of the uterus). Even if these particular mares were able to conceive during foal heat, the increased chances of embryo resorption or abortion later in the pregnancy make the risk of foal heat breeding too costly for the herd. A better choice is to allow these mares to cycle through foal heat and breed them at a later estrus.
Another consideration for choosing candidates is gestation length of previous pregnancies. Gestation length tends to be repeatable in broodmares, to within several days. In other words, if a group of mares has a history of short gestation length (less than 330 days), there might be no need to breed this group at foal heat. These mares might be well-suited to breeding at the second estrus after foaling and still produce one foal per year.
Another example of a group of mares that might not be candidates for foal heat breeding are older mares that have produced many foals year after year. These mares' reproductive tracts undergo changes as they age, including a natural increase in the time it takes to recover from foaling. The uterus and cervix take longer to involute (return to normal size after enlargement during parturition), making it more difficult for these mares to successfully begin a new pregnancy at foal heat.
An invaluable management practice at top-producing commercial breeding farms is that of evaluating all broodmares about seven days after foaling. A thorough physical examination ensures that each mare is recovering as expected after foaling, and it allows personnel to schedule a date for breeding if everything is normal.
The Postpartum Physical
In an intensively managed breeding operation, all foalings are attended. If a mare requires assistance, someone is there. Unfortunately, when humans intervene in the foaling process, even when it is needed, the chances of the mare becoming injured increase significantly. For this reason, the first part of the postpartum breeding-readiness physical examination involves a visual inspection of the perineum, vulva, and vestibule (the area just inside the vulva). The veterinarian looks for any lacerations, hematomas (blood clots), or abscesses that might have occurred as a result of foaling. Even a small laceration can cause big problems if left untreated.
The veterinarian passes a speculum into the vagina as the examination continues. Lacerations are noted, as are the color of the membranes and the shape and appearance of the cervix. Cloudy cervical mucus can indicate endometritis and signals the need for uterine culture and cytology prior to breeding.
Next, the veterinarian performs palpation of the reproductive tract per rectum so she can evaluate the size and shape of the uterus, ovaries, and supporting tissues. This is usually followed by an ultrasound exam, during which she looks for free fluid in the uterus, hematomas in the uterus, ovaries, and pelvis, and tumors in the ovaries. Granulosa cell tumors, for example, tend to grow more rapidly during pregnancy and, therefore, they often are found during postpartum examinations.
Finally, the ovaries are examined for growing follicles and the veterinarian measures the largest dominant follicle to help predict the onset of foal heat, if it hasn't arrived already. The overall findings of the examination help determine whether the mare is physically ready for breeding during foal heat.
Foal Heat or Later?
If everything looks normal during the postpartum physical examination and a mare is considered a good candidate for foal heat breeding, the next step is to monitor follicular development, tease the mare, and prepare her for breeding. Again, the mare is typically in estrus for four to seven days, and she ovulates sometime near the end of that period. Research studies have shown that the greatest success in achieving conception, whether during foal heat or later, comes when breeding is timed with ovulation. Therefore, breeding is begun when the mare shows signs of standing heat, and it is continued at intervals throughout the heat period.
The important difference when breeding during foal heat is the timing of ovulation. If the mare ovulates before the 10th day after foaling and the veterinarian confirms on ultrasound that the follicle has ruptured, the chances for conception are significantly decreased. Therefore, the recommendation is not to breed her if she ovulates before the 10th day. This way, the reproductive performance of the entire herd will be improved.
The main reason we wait until Day 10 to breed foal heat mares is to allow the uterus to return to normal. In a normal mare the uterus has involuted by Day 14 post-foaling. Mares bred on Day 10 will most likely ovulate on Day 11. The embryo does not enter the uterus until Days 5.5-6 post-ovulation. Therefore the embryo shouldn't enter the uterus until Days 16-17 post foaling. This allows time for the uterus to recover and provide a healthy environment for the embryo.
Waiting for the next estrus in a mare that ovulates early during foal heat might seem like a waste of time. Normally, the estrous cycle lasts about 21 days, so if she ovulates early, at Day 7 for example, another 14 days must pass until that cycle will end. Then, 10 days must pass until she ovulates "on time," totaling 24 days. Luckily, there are methods of manipulating the estrous cycle to shorten the interval from one ovulation to the next.
Manipulating the Cycle
When the decision is made not to breed during foal heat and to wait for the next heat, the veterinarian can shorten the mare's next estrous cycle with the use of prostaglandins. After ovulation, the remnant of the follicle becomes what is called the corpus luteum. This structure secretes the hormone progesterone. About six or seven days after ovulation, if a mare is injected with prostaglandin F2-alpha, the corpus luteum will break down, decreasing progesterone levels in the blood and shortening the cycle by seven days. Therefore, the 24-day waiting period is shortened to 17 days.
Some commercial farms prefer to intervene and delay foal heat, especially in mares with a history of early ovulations. There are two methods to achieve this. Both involve the use of progesterone analogues. These treatments must begin on the first day after foaling, or they will not be successful.
In the first method, a combination of progesterone and estradiol is administered in the muscle daily for as long as estrus is to be delayed. When the injections are stopped, the mare will come into heat. In the second method, which is less precise, altrenogest is given orally each day. Again, when the medication is stopped, the mare comes into heat.
After Breeding
Regardless of when a mare is bred, whether during foal heat or at a later estrus, personnel at intensively managed farms make it a practice to examine all mares the day after breeding. This is done to ensure that ovulation has occurred and that the uterus is clear of fluid that could cause endometritis. If there is any free fluid in the uterus, the mare is treated with oxytocin to stimulate the uterus to contract and expel the fluid. This is especially important in mares that are bred during foal heat, because the uterus is less forgiving of fluid and debris during this first heat after foaling. Every step must be taken to prepare an optimal environment for embryo implantation.
Take-Home Message
Foal heat breeding is a practice that is not intended for every horse breeder or every mare. There is simply no reason to breed back most mares during the first heat after foaling. There is data to support a decrease in conception rates during this first heat, and without a thorough postpartum examination, there is reason to be cautious about rushing forward into another pregnancy.
Foal heat breeding has been adopted by the commercial breeding farm establishment as a tool for economic gain.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm that solves the supply network configuration and operations scheduling problem in a mass customization company that faces alternative operations for one specific tool machine order in a multiplant context. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this objective, the supply chain network configuration and operations scheduling problem is presented. A model based on stroke graphs allows the design of an algorithm that enumerates all the feasible solutions. The algorithm considers the arrival of a new customized order proposal which has to be inserted into a scheduled program. A selection function is then used to choose the solutions to be simulated in a specific simulation tool implemented in a Decision Support System. Findings and Originality/value: The algorithm itself proves efficient to find all feasible solutions when alternative operations must be considered. The stroke structure is successfully used to schedule operations when considering more than one manufacturing and supply option in each step. Research limitations/implications: This paper includes only the algorithm structure for a one-by-one, sequenced introduction of new products into the list of units to be manufactured. Therefore, the lotsizing process is done on a lot-per-lot basis. Moreover, the validation analysis is done through a case study and no generalization can be done without risk. Practical implications: The result of this research would help stakeholders to determine all the feasible and practical solutions for their problem. It would also allow to assessing the total costs and delivery times of each solution. Moreover, the Decision Support System proves useful to assess alternative solutions. Originality/value: This research offers a simple algorithm that helps solve the supply network configuration problem and, simultaneously, the scheduling problem by considering alternative operations. The proposed system allows an easier generation of many different alternatives for the supply network configuration.

DOD rolls out energy overhaul - EPA seeks to rescue key air rule in court - Greens block one coal plant, bank on time to kill another - Solyndra, Vegas and the GSA
With help from Erica Martinson, Talia Buford and Alex Guillén
ENERGY DEFENSE: The Defense Department, the nation's biggest energy consumer, is plunging into several new energy security initiatives that the administration says will save lives, fuel and money. The Army will open a new research center, the Ground Systems Power and Energy Lab at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Mich., where eight labs will develop combat vehicles with greater fuel efficiency.
Story Continued Below
The Army will also create a "Green Warrior Convoy" of vehicles to test and demonstrate new fuel cell technology, hybrid systems, battery storage and alternative fuels. Military leaders have long lobbied for greater fuel efficiency and more renewables such as biofuels. Aside from aiding the administration's efforts to promote clean energy, they say the move will save lives, as fewer refuelings means exposing fewer convoys to trips through hostile territory. Guillén chronicles DoD's energy overhaul for Pros: http://politico.pro/HJHP93.
TAKING IT TO COURT: The EPA will face tough cross-examination on its embattled Cross-State Air Pollution Rule in federal court Friday as nearly 50 companies, states and industry groups push judges to shoot it down.
CSAPR, which aims to limit air pollution that blows across state lines, is already stymied: In a rare move, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a hold before the rule could go into effect Jan. 1.
Now, the EPA will have a chance to stand its ground on a slew of issues, asking the court for deference to its interpretation of science and the Clean Air Act. Historically, the agency has a decent success rate for that argument in federal court, but it's not a path the agency has had a lot of luck with lately. Martinson handicaps the agency's chances for Pros: http://politico.pro/Hx8ura
HAPPY WEDNESDAY and welcome to Morning Energy, where it was exactly one year ago today that your host took the helm of this energy juggernaut and pledged to do his best to be "the Aaron Rodgers to Josh Voorhees's Brett Favre." Twelve months, 248 editions and 1,000-plus Honey Nut bowls later, your host can only say it has been a heck of a ride. So help ME get Year Two started on a good foot, and send ME your best energy news at email@example.com.
ROUND ONE, FIGHT: The Interior Department and the House Natural Resources Committee locked horns Tuesday over the department's response to a subpoena related to the Obama administration's decision to place a temporary moratorium on offshore drilling permits following the Gulf of Mexico spill.
In a letter to the panel, Interior Congressional and Legislative Affairs Director Christopher Mansour offered up 164 pages of documents and promised more later in the week. But the reply fell short of what the panel was asking for, and each side criticized the other regarding the overall subpoena. Goode reports from the eye of the foot fight: http://politi.co/I1dEpI
THE AMAZING RACE: The EPA's proposed greenhouse gas rule for power plants just took down its first victim, with a Georgia consortium agreeing to take a coal-fired plant off the drawing board.
The consortium, Power4Georgians, agreed to call off plans to build one coal-fired plant Monday in exchange for greens pledging to back off a lawsuit to block a separate coal-fired plant planned for the state. But that facility, Plant Washington, will be in a race against the clock, rushing to break ground within 12 months after the greenhouse gas rule is published Friday. Environmentalists are banking on that not being enough time. Martinson breaks down the green gambit for Pros: http://politico.pro/IjDRFE.
KEYSTONE NEWS — The Nebraska Legislature is scheduled to vote today on a measure that would pave the way for the Keystone XL pipeline to pass through the Cornhusker State. The bill is expected to win a majority and signature from the governor, but environmental groups say it won't pass constitutional muster. Omaha World-Herald: http://bit.ly/I1TZcl.
** A message from America's Natural Gas Alliance: Today marks one year since the state-led hydraulic fracturing disclosure database FracFocus.org was launched. The registry now contains information for more than 14,000 public and private wells, and that number continues to grow. To learn more, visit http://bit.ly/HIzEpZ. **
WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS… NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS? ABC News is reporting that former General Services Administration head Martha Johnson — who recently resigned amid a scandal over her agency's $800,000-plus Vegas conference for employees — missed the infamous gathering because she was already scheduled to meet at Solyndra.
QUOTH V. CORNINGSTONE, "IT'S GRADE-A …" ABC News says the Solyndra meetings are detailed in testimony from an inspector general investigation into the Vegas fiasco, but a GSA spokesman tells the network that Johnson did not attend meetings at Solyndra that day, but he did not say where the administrator was during the conference. ABC News: http://abcn.ws/HH0dPT.
FOOT TRAFFIC: The White House Office of Management and Budget is facing a flood of lobbyists hoping to discuss pending federal fracking rules. In the last week, environmentalists and industry representatives have met with high level OMB officials to voice their concerns with the Bureau of Land Management's well stimulation rule — the regulation that will govern fracking on federal lands. Buford has the story for Pros: http://politico.pro/IxrMwU.
A BREAK AT THE PUMP (FOR GAS STATION OWNERS): The White House is reviewing an EPA regulation that proposes criteria for determining whether and when most cars will have technology that captures harmful air pollutants emitted during refueling, according to the OMB's website. After proving the technology is widespread, the agency plans to strike older requirements for gas stations to control emissions of volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants at the pump. EPA officials often tout the rollback for gas station owners as proof that EPA is on the lookout for redundant regulatory requirements.
THE BREWERS ARE BETTER THAN THE CUBS: The Great Lakes National Program is still lacking "needed internal controls to ensure effective operations," despite a five-fold increase in funding over the past seven years, a new EPA Inspector General report said Tuesday. With limited funding in its early years, the program focused on hiring needed engineers and scientists, and the programmatic side of things hasn't caught up: It takes longer to collect funds, invoiced costs "may not be reasonable or allowable," and nonfederal sponsors "may not be able to meet their commitments," the report says. The EPA has now addressed most of the concerns of the report, the IG says and made plans to address those remaining. The report: http://1.usa.gov/IqMlr5.
PROOF: http://es.pn/HvWGkG.
R.E.S. [for the] C.A.P., FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO ME: Critics who say renewable energy standards raise rates for consumers are wrong, the Center for American Progress says in an issue brief out today. Instead, CAP argues, in almost every state that has implemented some kind of RES, the pace of rate increases has dropped, proving such standards could work on a national scale. "By passing a federal renewable energy standard, or a clean energy standard that would also encourage renewables growth, Congress can put our country on a safer, cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable path to the future," the report concludes: http://bit.ly/HpCGkA
SECRETS, SECRETS: The National Association of Manufacturers wants the White House to strike down an EPA plan to restrict companies' ability to claim "trade secrets" and withhold data when submitting health and safety studies for new chemicals, the group says in a letter to chief regulator Cass Sunstein on Tuesday. The EPA is amending its regulations because the Toxic Substances Control Act says that "health and safety studies and data from health and safety studies are not entitled to confidential treatment," with some exceptions, according to the White House description of the regulation.

** A message from America's Natural Gas Alliance: Thanks to natural gas, we don't have to choose between advancing our economy, our environment and our greater energy self-reliance for our nation. This year, the average U.S. household will see a nearly $1,000 increase in disposable income thanks to America's vast supplies of affordable natural gas. This abundance also is making U.S. companies and American workers more competitive — creating more than 1 million U.S. manufacturing jobs by 2025. With continuous advances in drilling technology and strong state-led oversight, safe and responsible development is taking place every day across our country. That's why America's natural gas is smarter power today. Follow us on Twitter @ angaus **

Original paper
Conspicuous forms of keritomic thylakoids in Trichormus variabilis
Šmarda, Jan; Hindák, František
Algological Studies/Archiv für Hydrobiologie, Supplement Volumes No. 117 (2005), p. 407 - 414
published: Oct 1, 2005
ArtNo. ESP142015900027, Price: 29.00 €
Cells of Trichormus variabilis frequently show keritomy of their thylakoids; this is most extensive in heterocytes, least extensive in akinetes. The flat vesicles separate both their biomembrane leaflets from each other, while being keritomized, extend their volume and acquire irregular rounded and curly forms. They oppress each other, outer surfaces of neighbouring thylakoids lying closely at each other. In this way, the vesicles gain quite irregular, bizarre forms, with only traces or no cytoplasm between them, formed by a single or two membranes. Areas of keritomized thylakoids originate at the cell poles and, at last, the full cell interior may get transformed into them; in this way, the cell degenerates. In heterocytes of all four strains Trichormus variabilis, which we had at our disposal, the highly keritomized thylakoid membranes reach the form of parallel narrow tubules, arranged in a highly regular pattern of p2 symmetry. The basic cytoplasm is closed within them or spreads around. This particular organelle originates in the heterocyte polar region (or both) and extends to the centroplasm. It is clearly remote from the prolamellar-like body of Jensen (1985), but is homologous with the localized membrane elaboration reported by Cmiech, Leedale & Reynolds (1986).


text: Where to Go for Go-to Classics Four retail and design experts share their top spots to shop for enduring styles A classic style is one that has enduring appeal. They are the dyed in the wool staples that form the backbone of many retail outlets and designer studios. While sales of trendier looks rise and fall, the timeless classics flow steadily out of warehouses and into homes, their appeal transcending economics, demographics and geography. Almost every showroom at Market offers at least one of these reliable performers, and almost every buyer has a few favorites. To give you an idea of what's available, we asked some of today's top retailers and designers where they go to find their bread and butter furnishings. Connie Post Connie Post of Connie Post Affordable Design Solutions has been coming to High Point Market since 1973, and she uses her four decades of experience to cull the best vendors for her clients. "Rachlin does a tremendous job on classic designs in upholstery that have a global appeal," says Post, "and Marge Carson is the best in elegant styling and lovely fabric combinations." Connie Post's Favorites Barbara Barry • Rachlin • Marge Carson Post notes that classic style has morphed through the years and even the once steadfast 18th-Century style, female customer wants something different. "Now they want clean lines, something that looks young and hip but stylish." Although Post appreciates the styles of many companies, she does admit to favor. "Barbara Barry is my personal favorite for her modern approach on classic ideas and designs," says Post, noting that even classic product styles must be up to date and modern in their approach for today's savvy consumer. Larry Barnes FurnitureLand owner Larry Barnes of Delmar, Delaware, finds his classics the same place he finds his trendier items, tapping companies whose products span the trusted and timeless to au courant spectrum. "Universal, Riverside and Aspen are some of the companies who provide product for both sides of the equation." Larry Barnes' Top Picks Universal • Riverside • aspenhome • Ashley Furniture Barnes also owns an Ashley Furniture HomeStore and marvels at the brand's ability to deliver a wide range of fashions. "I am seriously amazed at the variety of trendy and classic styles offered by that incredible company," says Barnes. "They make us much better retailers." Dorian Stacy Sims Dorian Stacy Sims, president of Stacy Furniture & Design, with stores in the greater Dallas area, counts on a stable of vendors that includes Hooker, Lexington Home Brands, Rowe, A.R.T., Klaussner and Mayo. "I always expect them to have new collections that could immediately go on our floors," says Sims. Dorian Stacy Sims' Go-to Selections Hooker • Lexington Home Brands • Rowe • A.R.T. Furniture • Klaussner • Mayo These companies always stock Sims' go-to selections and just as important, they maintain supportive relationships at both the upper management and factory representative level. "I depend on them to be consistent partners in my business for many reasons - style, quality, selection and support!" Leslie Hendrix-Wood "I rely on Century Furniture for most upholstery items," says interior designer Leslie Hendrix Wood of Texas. "My clients appreciate quality craftsmanship and I know that Century Furniture will deliver the level of quality expected." Leslie Hendrix-Wood's Reliable Sources Century Furniture • Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture • John-Richard Collection • Bernhardt England-based Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture also makes her list. "I turn to Jonathan Charles Furniture for design staples such as coffee tables, chest of drawers and credenzas," says Wood. "They've truly mastered the art of antique reproductions. Their attention to detail and hand crafted finishes appeal to my most discriminating clients." For accent pieces and lighting, Wood prefers the John Richard Collection. "The hand-painted accent pieces look as if they have been handed down for generations," says Wood. "My clients love their furnishings because they blend seamlessly with existing antiques." "Bernhardt Furniture is the workhorse I rely on to complete many of my designs," says Wood. "My clients like Bernhardt because they offer a high quality product at a reasonable price point." But there's more at work there than good product. "The people I work with are absolutely delightful. They make the designer's job so much easier." Want to visit some of these highly recommended exhibitors this October? Plan your trip in advance using the High Point Market's online planning tool, MyMarket. Customize your Market schedule to find exhibitors, and save all of your selections in a personal itinerary.

My Vet was on Vacation so Ambassador stepped in and helped us out.I highly recommend they.
I brought my sick dog to Ambassador Animal Hospital last week.I was worried that I might lose him but the Vet and the whole team at this hospital was so compassionate and quick. They did some x-rays and blood tests and within one hour time, the Vet explained to me in details about the reason for the illness.My dog was hospitalized and treated for two days at the hospital,before I brought him home happy and playful again. I have no words to appreciate an awesome job done by the Vet and the staff at Ambassador Animal Hospital. I can only say that they saved my LIFE !!! Great job, keep up the good work.
I got my two cats spayed at Ambassador Animal Hospital. The quality of service and follow-up call was really appreciated.I have never seen such a good service before.I would strongly recommend Ambassador Animal hospital to everyone looking for a good care of their pets.
