- These articles were first published many year's ago and whilst some are as relevant today as they were when new, many are now mostly of historical interest as modern research and coaching methods have superseded them.
Leaving No Stone Unturned
By Frank Horwill
There are, at the time of writing, sixteen weeks to the London Marathon and this period should be devoted to the acceptance of certain facts and procedures. First, estimate your potential marathon time by multiplying your 10km time by five and subtracting 10 minutes. Another method is to multiply your half-marathon time by two and adding six and half minutes. A long shot is to multiply your 5km time by ten, so that if your best 5km time is 17 minutes, your marathon potential is 170 minutes (2 hours 50 minutes).
Once your potential time has been established it is essential to practise that target time once a week, starting with one-third of the marathon dlstance, ie 9 miles rounded off. There is a very good reason for doing this, for if most of your training is either faster than marathon speed and of necessity short distance, and on the other hand slower than marathon pace and of long duration, on the day of the race there is a temptation either to start too fast or to run too slow, in other words, you will be confused and uncertain.
Once the 9-mile runs at target marathon speed feel comfortable, add a mile and keep on adding a mile up to two-thirds of' the distance (ie 18 miles). Here are some paces to consider - 7 minutes a mile = 3:03:24, 6:40 / mile - 2:54:40, 6:20 / mile = 2:45:56, 6:00 / mile=2:37:12, 5:30 / mile=2:24:06.
Perhaps the greatest training aid for the marathon was the introduction of variable pace. This is best done on a track and consists of running one lap at your best 5km speed and then going straight into the next lap at marathon pace. Continue in this way non stop for as long as possible. Usually, first attempts last for about eight laps. Take a lap walk recovery and start again doing as many consecutive laps as possible on time. The target is to do a total of twenty-five laps (10k). When I coached Wendy Llewellyn to run 2:37 exactly for the marathon in 1996, she was able to run eventually the 10km distance without rest as follows - 80 secs / 400m (16:40 / 5km) followed by 90 secs / 400 (2:37:12 / marathon). This session, with its undulating pulse rates which fluctuate between 150 and 180 beats a minute, prepares you for hills, making a break and covering one.
When the world veterans' marathon champion, Tony Duffy from Salford, wrote to me before the start of his build up for the 1999 title, I replied that he was doing too much junk mileage. I pointed out to him that Lisa Hollick, whom I was helping at the time, suffered from post-viral malaise (recurring glandular fever symptoms) which occurred if she trained daily. She trained every other day only, and was put on 1,000mg of vitamin C and 30mg of zinc daily. Her total weekly mileage was forty miles. She ran 2:54 in her first London marathon, and was the tenth British female home. She did one long slow run a week, one variable pace session,, one marathon pace rehearsal run and a session at 1Okm pace.
Carbohydrates are vital to successful training and racing over 10 miles. Carbs should be taken before, during and after training. The routine is:-
- 100g of carbo-loader three hours before training;
- A 4-8 per cent carb hydration drink sipped during training;
- 225g of carbs immediately after training. At meal times concentrate on low glycemic carbs which are preferentially stored as glycogen. High glycemic carbs give you surges of insulin which actually retard glycogen storage. Eat the following:- fructose, soyabeans, kidney beans, lentils, sweet potatoes, apples, oranges, whole wheat spaghetti, oats, brown rice, buckwheat pancakes and whole wheat bread. Contrary to popular belief, bananas, and white flour-containing foods, are all high glycemic. Invest in a good carb polymer.
Training for the marathon should be a 14-day cycle which avoids boredom. This is how Duffy won his world title:
Day 1 - Build up to running for 2½ hours, speed is irrelevant, time on the feet is the main point of this session.
Day 2 - Recovery run of 35 minutes.
Day 3 - Variable pace session on the track totalling 10km.
Day 4 - Recovery run of 35 minutes.
Day 5 - Build up to running 18 miles at target marathon speed.
Day 6 - rest.
Day 7 - 10km pace session. Either 6 x 1 mile or 3 x 2 miles with 45 and 90 secs recovery respectively at best 10km speed or faster.
Day 8 - Recovery run of 35 minutes.
Day 9 - Repeat Day 1.
Day 10 - Recovery run 35 minutes.
Day 11 - Repeat Day 5.
Day 12 - Recovery run of 35 minutes.
Day 13 - 5km pace session. Either 8 x 800 or 6 x 1 km at best 5km speed or faster with 45 and 60secs rest respectively.
Day 14 - Rest.
The maximum mileage involved, excluding warm up runs, is around 64 miles a week.
For 48 hours before the race, do no training at all, but a 15 minute jog on both days is OK. Consume low glycemic carbs up to 600g daily. For the final 24 hours before the race increase water intake by 1 pint an hour but stop 30 minutes before the start. Costill found that before the Boston marathon, many marathoners had miniscule muscle cell damage, which was worse after the race. The 35-minute recovery runs will prevent this in your training cycle.
During the race, concentrate on reaching the first mile and 10km bang on time. A marathon should be apportioned 51 per cent of the target time for the first half and 49 per cent for the second. For example if your target is 7mins/mile, reach the 15 miles mark in 1:34:00, the next 13 miles will be in 1:29:30secs. If you reverse this scheduling, be prepared to "die" in the last mile!
After the marathon, take five whole days off from training and increase your vitamin C and zinc intake. Research tells us that in the first seven days after a marathon you will be very prone to infections.
There will be know-alls who will not agree with everything stated in this article. However, during my six months' coaching tour in South Africa, the coaching fraternity adopted the blueprint set out above. They have not done too badly have they?

A Unified Push for Healthy Oceans in Yeosu
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova called for heightened awareness, stronger capacity and deeper scientific knowledge to shift from exploiting to sustaining the ocean during the Yeosu Declaration Forum on August 12, 2012. She welcomed the launch of the Oceans Compact by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, stating that it represents a landmark document for more sustainable management of the ocean by all partners.
'Green Growth from the Sea' sums up the spirit of the Yeosu Declaration, adopted at the end of a 93-day Expo on 'The Living Ocean and Coast' that offered an adventurous, innovative and dynamic journey into the wealth of the ocean and attracted over 8 million visitors to the southern coastal city of Yeosu.
"We must all become stewards for the ocean, this is our message to the world today," said Mr Ban at the Declaration Forum, held just after he launched the Oceans Compact. "Today is just the beginning of a push for healthy oceans and a strong call to action and guide for the future."
The Ocean Compact is strategic vision for UN to deliver more coherently and effectively on its ocean mandate. It has three objectives: protecting people and improving the health of the oceans; protecting, recovering and sustaining the oceans' environment and restoring their full food production and livelihoods services; and strengthening ocean knowledge and management of oceans. Ms Bokova said that UNESCO, which contributed to the development of the Compact, had a particular stake in the last objective. She underlined that ocean sustainability would be a key dimension of the post-2015 development agenda. Mr Ban praised UNESCO and the UN Environment Programme for their vision and leadership in developing the Compact.
Addressing the Declaration Forum, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Mr Kim Hwang-Sik stated that current consumption patterns had put the planet's survival at stake, stressing the need to use the oceans with care through eco-marine friendly technology and other measures.
Mr Willy Telavi, Prime Minister of Tuvalu, a small island developing state that faces extreme vulnerability to climate change and depends on the ocean's biological resources as a primary source of income and food, called for "an altruistic partnership built on genuine cooperation and activities that draw on both scientific and local knowledge." All partners praised the Yeosu Declaration for setting a shared vision and strategy for the governance and sustainable development of oceans. "The spirit and vision of Yeosu will live on through the Declaration," said Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik at the Expo's closing ceremony.

|System: PC, PS3, Xbox 360
|Dev: Ubisoft
|Pub: Ubisoft
|Release: October 30, 2012
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
My ship is in a rather sorry shape after this pitched battle. There are splintered boards everywhere, and a number of conspicuous smoldering holes in the deck. She seems to still be seaworthy, though, and my target ship isn't in much better shape. The game instructs me to switch from cannon fire to chain shot so I can take out my target ship's sails. The chain shot flies realistically through the air, and after a few hits the enemy sails are in tatters. I then pull up beside it and am treated to a cut-scene of my motley crew yelling manly things as they board the disabled ship. Connor's tomahawk descends toward an unknown person just before the Assassin's Creed III logo splashes up onto my screen, ending the demo. Who was my target and why was I engaged in this naval skirmish? Ubisoft is playing the Assassin's Creed III story close to the chest, so we won't know until release.
I'm not usually a fan of naval combat in games. I tend to find it rather plodding, and with too much emphasis on details like wind direction that, while realistic, don't necessarily create fun gameplay. I enjoyed what I was able to play of Assassin's Creed III's naval combat because it was fairly fast-paced and put its main emphasis on the action.
That's not to say that there wasn't plenty of juicy detail involved. I was impressed with the look, feel, and sounds of these Eighteenth Century ships. The physics involved in shooting cannons and chain shots were satisfying, and the way that Ubisoft designed the ships to be destructible without being too easily sunk was quite clever. I was able to get an idea of how damaged the enemy ships were by eyeballing them, and the visible damage my own ship took made me want to do a better job next time.
After the tremendous success of Assassin's Creed II, the next two games in the series were criticized for being too similar; not adding enough of interest to the series beyond their multiplayer modes. The addition of naval combat to Assassin's Creed III is one way that this game hopes to distinguish itself and spruce up the series formula. I'm happy to report that this new form of combat is not only fast-paced and fun, but adds to the historical experience of playing an assassin during the Revolutionary War.

"The New Prettiness": The Resurgence of Traditional Femininity in Decor
If you frequent any other decor blogs, you'll know that there's been a widespread fascination with all things pink, blush, gold, glittery, soft, and generally "feminine." Even here on Apartment Therapy, we've talked about how pleased we are to see this delicate side emerge in home decor. But whence comes this penchant for prettiness?
Don't get me wrong; I'm downright giddy to see sequins, eye-popping pinks, delicate pastels, and rococo accents in decor, but I do notice that this desire is part of a larger trend for all that is "soft," "demure," "delicate," and "feminine." (As a disclaimer, I want to emphasize that I consider the strict separation of male and female aesthetics fallacious, but this gender-based stereotype still exists, and this is part of what I'm interested in exploring.)
In the March issue of Elle, Daphne Merkin investigates the resurgence of this classical model of femininity in fashion, where '50s-influenced dresses, nipped waists, lace, and pencil skirts, are currently all the rage. She concludes that what she calls the "New Prettiness" is a response to difficult economic and political times as well as a feeling that the world is moving too quickly:
"The success of Mad Men, among other backward-looking phenomena, suggests that they also speak to some part of ourselves that doesn't want to construct a working model of femaleness from scratch each day. I can't be alone in sensing a withdrawal from embattled agendas of self-definition, especially among younger women, as well as a renewed interest in traditional modes of femininity..." (page 200).
Is the New Prettiness in decor a reversion to traditional aesthetics in an attempt to escape current cultural and social instability? And if so, can we consider it as another facet of the same push that has revived a widespread love of vintage, mid-century modern, and DIY?
It does seem that many trends right now are historically oriented, and Merkin makes some excellent points, but I'm somewhat uncomfortable with describing this "resurgence of the feminine" as an avoidance of creating new female identities. While I don't deny that nostalgia often results from a troubling present, reading many fashion and design blogs has, if anything, convinced me that this trend isn't a simple appropriation of old modes of femininity. Many of the same bloggers who rejoice in pink and frills also delight in leather accents, natural history objects, and dark, "masculine" wall colors. The New Prettiness has arrived alongside a new, eclectic ethos that valorizes creativity and vibrancy just as much as softness and tradition.
There is an unashamedness to the New Prettiness that I really admire. To my mind, women in the past have often had to choose between being the traditional, pretty woman and the modern, hard-edged female, but the New Prettiness has a new attitude that goes along with it: we can indulge in soft, gentle decor as much as we'd like without sacrificing our boldness or originality. This means that, aesthetically, I can be feminine in a traditional way without fitting all the old stereotypes that used to accompany it. Perhaps the New Prettiness isn't so much an escape from creating new female identities as an assertion that a woman doesn't have to choose a single feminine identity anymore.

she sells seashells
There's such a fine line between elegant shell designs and those that are kitsch appearing as though they came out of a little shell shop on The Redondo Pier.
But when you see the real deal, you know the difference {and it's not just the sticker reading 'made in china'}
Heather Kendall Designs, is the real deal and her work is truly, elegant {'shell-egant', shall we say?}
Kendall's work can be found in beach homes spanning the country from L.A. to Nantucket and some of those beach-less, beach houses in between. Custom orders are welcome and encouraged. Heather Kendall Designs

I was very flattered to be asked for commentary on Decorati's Profile page. It's a great feature the site has created, profiling different designers and then dipping into the blogger world for our take on the work. This week, art deco inspired designer Jean de Merry is featured. Jean De Merry's line is really quite something to behold, if you're not already familiar. Read more here.

Allison's beach house goodbye
Two weeks ago I received a very bitter sweet phone call. My friend, neighbor and business partner called to tell me they were moving. Bitter is not the best word, it sounds too much like a bad taste left in the mouth. Quietly sad is probably more apt. A fantastic opportunity has come their way, one that cannot be passed up.
Allison and her family have been a great gift to this little walk street community of tight living quarters, kids running in and out of each other's homes, weekends spent at the beach, warm evening dinner parties and old fashioned neighborly friendship.
The sweet side of all of this, is that the family will be moving 'up the street', as I so euphemistically like to refer to it. Up the street to the Bay area. Up the street to my favorite part of the world, a lovely pocket of Marin County called Ross. If I had to choose an even more perfect spot for them to be, I'd be at a loss.
Allison and I have also been business partners for the past 4 years.
We've managed to keep it going through some serious life changes, after math of divorce and newly single motherhood {me} pregnancy, a new baby and a toddler {her} Amazing when I look back at what we were able to accomplish through it all. I've learned so much from this girl, who is as beautiful on the inside as on the out. I will miss her. I once did a little blog tour of her adorable beach cottage. Much to her, I assume, chagrin I really didn't do it justice. Recently with her house on the market {it sold within the first week} some professional shots were taken. I wanted to share with you some of Allison's fabulous talent.
I love the salmony color of her cieling with the toasty almond walls. If there's one thing this girl knows, it's details. stainless steel counter tops, with a wooden top on one end, a perfect work space.Under her center island, Allison has collected old wire locker room baskets to hold her vast stock of vintage linens.you can't see them so well, but she recently added the burlap seat cushions to the dining room chairs. Burlap is the new velvet after all.
Dutch doors are a must, here at the beach. You can scream down the street for your kids at dinner time without even leaving your home! One of the 'details' Allison added not long ago, was the darkening of all of the door hardware in the house. It made such a difference. And she did it in one afternoon while the kids were napping. So clever.I love what she's done to her daughter's room. Using the Serena and Lily bedlinens as a starting point, she's created a sweet but whimsical room. She uses fun swaths of fabrics behind the panes on her French doors through out. A great touch used to mask the contents of a closet. her son's room was once her daughters, not wanting to have to repaint, in one afternoon, she transformed it into a beautiful yet not feminine boys room. As I remember, it was a trip to Target and she had instantly changed the whole feel of the space. {green bedding, striped rug and window treatment - Target }
In 2005, the family added on this great master bed and bath.
The little balcony {above} off the of the Master, a great place to sit and listen to the surf. ahh, the backyard that launched a thousand parties. The annual Valentine's wine tasting party, Birthday parties for the young and.....well, not so young any more. Many a great evening was spent under this old tree. Not to mention, many a business meeting. {What the photos don't give you is the sound effect of the fountain. It's so peaceful out here.}The backside of the free standing Garage, helps create a privacy in the back of the house. Using space wisely is what walk-street beach living is all about. They turned the garage into a great little guest cottage. This shot doesn't give you the full effect of how sweet this little room is. But it's adorable and the light in the space is great.
Come that day when the car is loaded, moving van is gone, kids seat belted in, hugs are exchanged, there will certainly be tears and the aftermath of a quiet void with the echo of great memories. I will not consider them gone, but merely just up the street.

that necklace! as seen on party honoree, trisha.
A lot of you emailed me that you'd like to know where Miss Trisha, found that great necklace. First of all, let me tell you Trisha is one of those people who is always, always perfectly quaffed and perfectly-outfitted, so it was no surprise that she'd turn up with some fantastic, noteworthy piece.
the necklace comes from Anthropolgie I bought it in yellow - after much hemming and hawing and deciding that I just have too much in the beautiful sea green- although I'm not entirely sure that I made the right decision. But they're all so beautiful, I even liked the white. Turns your old jeans, t-shirt, some summer sandal uni, into a stylin' little ensemble.

trisha's baby shower
Over the weekend, along with two friends, I hosted a baby shower in my front yard. It was so much fun, planning and art directing the whole event. And the sun even decided to break through the 'June gloom' of coastal fog we've been having.
I've never owned a lick of blue willow anything. I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to load up, as I wanted the table to have a classic, elegant-casual garden party feel. After a few evenings on ebay I was able to find a dealer who would sell a lot to me for $4.00 a plate. Pottery barn and Cost Plus had great chargers for the cause- caned and woven
I used burlap as the table cloth {I love the look of burlap and it's so inexpensive at $3.00 a yard} we bought hydrangeas, white roses and some green stuff {no idea the name}
and created little tight arrangements in Liberty bowls that I had laying around. Super easy. A fantastic meal was whipped up by our resident chefs {husbands} and enjoyed by all {I just noticed everyone cleaned their plates!}
.........and Trisha and new baby walked away with some fantastic haul!
I wish I had thought to take a photo of the food, plated, it was really beautiful. However, I did mention to a few, that I'd post the recipe for the egg number. ................................................................... Egg in a Nest
{adapted from my friend,Wimberly's recipe}
greased cupcake pan dozen eggs sliced deli ham chopped tarragon diced shallots diced mushrooms shredded cheddar cheese holandaise sauce whole wheat english muffinIn each cupcake pan, space, neatly fold a slice of ham in a conical shape {it helps to cut halfway up the middle of the piece} Sautee, the mushrooms and shallots until clear {use a lot of mushrooms, as they do shrink down} Pour the mixture into the bottom of ham 'nest' and crack egg on top. stick pan into oven and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. toast english muffins. when egg is done, place the 'nest' on top of the half toasted muffin, sprinkle cheese on top, drizzle holandaise sauce and garnish with the tarragon. eat.

Sasa Antic
This past week has been heavy on the 'lookies' {great images, little to no content} But I'm coming to the end of a two week, too-many-irons-in-the-fire stint. Rounding out the 2 week crush, a baby shower brunch for 16 which I'm hosting on Saturday. Menu planned, Grocery shopping done, art direction finis! help in line, now I get to relax and enjoy.
With all of this new time on my hands tonight, I was able to do a little blog visiting. And as always, found a rejuvenating bank of imagery over at Apartment Therapy. The work of Swedish stylist, Sasa Antic I'm hoping to be up to some of my own, Sasa Antics on Saturday and will try to capture some shots to share next week.

Mumbai: The shooting of 'Kai Po Che!', based on Chetan Bhagat`s novel 'The 3 Mistakes of My Life', will be complete within two days, says director Abhishek Kapoor.
"We have been shooting for this film at many different locations. Now there are just two days left for the shooting. UTV will make an official announcement of when the film is slated for release. But I believe it should release by February 2013."
The film is about three best friends Ishaan, Omi and Govind trying to make a mark in the India of the early 2000s. It features actors Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajkumar Yadav and Amit Sadh in key roles.
Kapoor is busy shooting some last portions of the movie, which is majorly captured in Ahmedabad and Jaipur.
The music for 'Kai Po Che!' is by Amit Trivedi, and Javed Akhtar has penned the lyrics.

Did I see the word "politeness" in one of the blogs?? Are you kidding me? By 9 pm every night, everyone was so F'd up that people were shoving, pushing and blasting their way thru the crowd, knocking over anyone in their path. And litter? Holy shit! Does anyone care about throwing out their garbage? There were so many water bottles on the ground you could break an ankle at every step. People were just plain rude. And stoned. And drunk.
Now, the disabled part: I have to walk with a cane. I did not have an ADA bracelet and was not able to get one (what's that about?). So, I needed a ride back to the buses at the end of the night. For whatever reason, the crowd control made everyone walk about a mile, all around the grounds, to get to the buses. This made no sense to anyone because there was a direct route, but we weren't allowed to use it. Anyway, I needed a ride on one of the golf carts because I can't walk that far. So I went to the ADA booth (and why the hell was it so freaking FAR from the entrance? Yeah, thanks a lot for that) and asked how to go about arranging that. No prob they told me. Go to a security guard and they will radio us and a cart will be there in a minute to drive you to the bus. Well, no. That did not happen. I spoke to a guard, then another and another until I had been passed off to 10 of these idiots. Finally when the idiots were not looking, I went beyond the barricade to a woman who looked official. She turned out to be a supervisor and she got me a ride. That was only one night. The other two nights I had no such luck. Everything they told me to do, did not work. They lied thru their teeth and passed me off from one idiot to the other. I had to walk. No one helped me. I am still recovering from that.
So thanks a lot ADA for doing absolutely nothing, and screw you Coachella for your DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE DISABLED. I ought to sue you for that. There are laws to protect the disabled. You did a miserable job.

Memorial Day - Missing Mom
Sunday, May 30, 2010
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. If I could I would visit my mother's gravesite. She is buried in the little town of Ruthven Iowa in Crown Hill Cemetery. Although she died in 2007, in the spring of 2008 me and my sisters buried her ashes there in the town she grew up in where other family members are also buried. We were able to tell her right before she died that us girls would take her "home". She was thrilled.
I really miss you Mom. For those who like Find a Grave you can see her memorial I created for her. She is # 29678142. Thanks to Gini at Ginisology who showed me how to insert a link!!
Hope you all enjoy Memorial Day tomorrow.

What a nice post - a heartfelt tribute to your Mom.
I came over to your blog from Geneablogger and enjoyed reading your posts. I remember what it was like when I sat down to write my first post to my blog - it is scarey!
Keep up the good work and I plan on checking back often.

You've written such a sincere post. It made me think of my own mother whom we promised to take back to Idaho to buried beside my step-father. She wasn't about to let my husband forget it either! She talked about it often. Thanks for this sweet post and your addition to Find a Grave. Welcome to the GeneaBloggers world!

Protection of Pupil Rights
(Title X, Part F, amending Section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act)
The Act amends section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act (Protection of Pupil Rights) by adding new provisions relating to student privacy, parental access to information, and the administration of physical exams to students who are minors.
As amended, section 445 requires each LEA that receives funds under any program administered by the Department of Education to adopt policies on the following:
Permitting parents to inspect any third-party surveys of students before they are administered, including policies to protect student privacy if the survey delves into certain sensitive subjects identified in the law.
Permitting parents to inspect any instructional material used in the curriculum.
The administration of any physical examinations or screenings the school may administer.
The collection and use of personal information collected from students for the purpose of marketing that information (except for the purpose of developing educational products or services).
In addition to adopting these policies, each LEA must notify parents, at least annually at the beginning of the school year, about the content of these policies. The notice must also explain that parents have the right to "opt the student out of participation" in the following activities (and identify when during the school year they are scheduled to occur):
The collection or use of personal information gathered from students for the purpose of marketing that information (except for the development of educational products or services).
The administration of any survey that delves into the sensitive subjects identified in the law.
The administration of any non-emergency, invasive physical examination or screening that is not otherwise permitted or required by State law, including those without parental notification.

Jeffrey Sachs
With Larry Summers' World Bank Bid in Trouble, Mexico Insists on Open Process
Early last week the New York Times reported that despite all the previous fine rhetoric about the G20 and consultation and open process, the US Treasury Department had decided to rule by decree and impose its own candidate for the next president of the World Bank, the G20 be damned. U.S. officials informed G20 officials that the US intended to "retain control of the bank," as the Times put it. According to the Times, the G20 countries grumbled but showed no sign of being willing to fight Treasury. The U.S. candidate would be a "lock," the Times said, "since Europe will almost certainly support whomever Washington picks."
Since the International Monetary and the World Bank were created, the US and Europe - which control around half of the voting shares of these institutions - have colluded behind closed doors to determine the institutions' top leaders, with Europe selecting the head of the IMF with US support and the US selecting the head of the World Bank with European support. In recent years, developing countries have complained loudly about this practice - a practice which would be illegal if the World Bank were subject to the Illinois Open Meetings Act - and under pressure the World Bank has adopted governance reforms that are supposed to guarantee an "open, merit-based process" in selecting the President. But Treasury was claiming that there wasn't going to be any open process, it was going to be Treasury diktat.
But over the course of the last few days, the world has changed.

A lot of things can happen to you when you are going through a messy financial situation. One of the things that can happen to you is that you get to work and your employer informs you that your wages are going to be garnished. Well, if you are still confused with what a garnishment means, it is a court order requiring your employer to withhold a part of your monthly pay so that it can be used to offset your debts. This happens most of the time and it compounds your debt problems because you become more worried on how to pay your mortgage, house bills and even take care of your family. Because you are undergoing the situation listed above, I am sure you must have asked a lot of questions like "how can I put a stop to this?" Below are a couple options available to stop garnishments.
Settle your outstanding debt – This is the easiest and even the most available option available to you to stop the garnishment on your wage. You would never get hurt by making a repayment offer to your creditor and see what they feel about it. Some creditors are understanding and would settle for less as long as it guarantees that their money will be paid in full. You can take this option and you would be surprised at how this will help to put a stop to your wage garnishment.

On a day when you hear about the worlds largest bank CITI Group losing $5 Billion and cutting 4,000 jobs world wide, you might expect markets to be down severely. You might also have expected the FTSE to stumble on the news that RBS is preparing a rights issue to shore up its balance sheet. However, apart from some early nervousness on Friday, the UKs benchmark index managed to close the week up 3.2%. The CAC & DAX both managed 4.3%.
The worse is behind us argument continued to gather pace as evidenced by RBS share price actually rising on the day of the rights issue announcement. Investors had been speculating for months that RBS would be taking this step and in some ways the eventual announcement relieved some of the pressure on the UK banking sector. More than anything markets hate indecision and traders seem buoyed by the hope of an eventual end point to the liquidity crisis.
A significant catalyst last week was some positive earnings announcements from some heavy hitting US companies; Intel, Coca Cola, Honeywell, Caterpillar, Google and IBM all surprised to the upside. According to Bloomberg, profits have slumped 26% on average from the companies releasing results so far with the financial sector being the worst hit. However, this was largely expected to be the case, and share prices have adjusted to price in consensus estimates. One important question is whether US companies have truly under promised and over delivered, or if investors are just fearful of missing out on a rally.
On the currency markets, the Pound and Dollar made up lost ground lost after figures showed Eurozone inflation hitting a 16-year high. Chinese CPI was also red hot with staples such as soyabeans and rice continuing to rise. The price of rice has doubled since August 2007 while sugar and wheat have retreated from recent highs. The king of commodities, oil, continues to make record highs and until this market significantly retreats, inflation projections will remain high. This will put further pressure on central banks such as The Bank Of England, which has to balance fighting inflation with easing the liquidity crisis in the credit markets.
Inter bank lending rates have remained stubbornly high since the summer, with the actual cost of lending being a quarter point higher than the official LIBOR rate. The fact that The Bank Of Englands recent loan action was over subscribed by three times the amount tells its own story. With little movement on LIBOR or mortgage fees so far, the next move could put further pressure on the Bank of England to cut rates.
Traders foresees that while the worst may or may not be behind us, what is probable is that it won't be plain sailing from here in either direction. There may still be some pull backs along the way even if March turns out to be the low point of this credit crunch for the FTSE. A one touch with the trigger set to 5900 could return 50% over the next 17 days.

Target clearance is YMMV, ya dig! Games may not even be on clearance at your store, or they may be higher or lower than what is on this list.
This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items. Price reductions for clearance seem to happen on Monday, although not every Monday, but could also occur any day of the week depending on your store's price change team. Price adjustments on clearance are typically not allowed, but some have succeeded or have been able to do as return and rebuy.
Target often donates its older clearance titles to Goodwill stores, so keep that in mind when you're trying to find items. BigDirty: "Further reduction is possible when a game's price ends with 8 cents. However, when it ends in 4 cents it will NOT drop anymore. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction." Also, note that, typically, games will drop three times-- from 30%, 50%, then to the final drop of 75% off of the original price. Some people, however, have seen further drops up to 85%.
When games are marked down, the price change team typically find the game and scan it with their PDA/LRT to intiate the price change. However, in the case that they cannot find the game, they will either choose to not drop the price further or process the price change anyway, figuring that the game is somewhere in the store.
When posting deals, please include game, system, price, city and state. For example:
Debbie Does Skywalker, Xbox 360, $4.98
Mesa, AZ Power Road at Superstition Springs
Also, a great help when you're posting deals you've found is to check this post and see if your item's DPCI number is already listed. DPCI stands for Department, Class, Item-- it's Target's version of a SKU. These are a nine digit number that can always be found on your receipt and also on the red clearance tags on the item itself. DPCI numbers are handy to have when you want to check the item's price-- just go over to your scanner and punch in the numbers, if your scanners have keypads. Also, you can give these numbers to team members so they can check the availability of the item easily with their PDA scanners. Please post any DPCI numbers that are not already in the OP-- thanks! This is especially important since some of the DPCI numbers on Target.com start with 241, meaning they cannot be used in-store, and also meaning that I can't get all of the numbers from Target.com.
Here is a fairly easy way to check your local Target's pricing-- often price tags will not be correct. Thanks to BigDirty for this:
1) Go to Half.com or a similar site. Search for the game to locate its UPC code number. It's in the gray box underneath the box art graphic.
2) Go to UPC Data ,Milk.com , or UPC Database and enter the code so you can print out the UPC. Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts.
Thanks to Mephitical for this tool for locating clearance titles, which is located here. Go to Amazon or Target to find the item's ASIN. When you find it, replace "B000O3IS48" in the URL with your item's ASIN. This will take you to a page asking you for your zip code. Type in your zip code and click enter-- this will display a list of local stores and whether or not they have your item in stock. YMMV on it working properly.
The lowest known price will be posted. The item could be higher or lower at your store. Numbers in yellow are DPCI numbers, which can be used to check the prices of items on newer scanners.

Courtesy Beyonce Parfums
Yet another milestone for the fabulous Mrs. Carter!
Not only do we give Beyoncé kudos for undergoing a bold new cut, but she can now add "fragrance mogul" to her ever-expanding list of accomplishments.
RELATED PHOTOS: See even more fragrances we're loving right now!
Her "Heat" collection of signature scents has just been named the best-selling celebrity fragrance brand worldwide. Since 2010 she's launched six, to be exact — the latest is a limited edition of Heat for her Mrs. Carter Show world tour (now available at Beyonce.com). If you missed the show, it's the best-smelling alternative.
And if you collect all six scents, you can spray them depending on which Beyoncé banger you're in the mood to dance to — spritzing Heat Rush for "Crazy In Love," Midnight Heat for "Party," or N.Y.C. Pulse for "Run the World." Add the original scents (Heat and Pulse) for a complete collection.
Tell us: What do you think of the news that Beyoncé is a scent-sational businesswoman?

Well, I hope the celebration was fun while it lasted.
After capping a storybook run through the postseason by hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, a mass exodus of signature players has left the Baltimore Ravens reeling.
Fortunately for the Super Bowl champs, their hated rival hasn't fared much better over the past week.
Between departures through free agency, releases, trades and retirements, Baltimore and Pittsburgh have combined to lose 12 key players from a year ago as of Friday morning.
To make matters worse, more are almost certain to follow.
Ironically, two of the most steadfast organizations in the National Football League are seemingly going in reverse to begin the 2013 season.
Claiming that it's time to panic is still a stretch, but shared disappointment and concern among both fan bases is a given. And honestly, it should be.
As evident by recent history, both the Ravens and Steelers thrive on building from within, maximizing draft choices while rarely reaching to sign big-name talent.
Still, this offseason has undoubtedly taken its toll.
Thus far, the likes of Ray Lewis, Anquan Boldin, Paul Kruger, Dannell Ellerbe, Bernard Pollard, Matt Birk and Cary Williams no longer call Baltimore home. Adding insult to injury, beloved veteran safety Ed Reed visited with the Houston Texans on Thursday and was reportedly very impressed.
The story is similar in the Steel City, with Mike Wallace, James Harrison, Rashard Mendenhall, Willie Colon and Keenan Lewis all having played their final game in black and gold. Backup safety Ryan Mundy, who saw significant time last year due to Troy Polamalu's injury issues, also signed with the New York Giants on Thursday.
Worth noting, the status of long-time nose tackle Casey Hampton is also in question according to sources close to the team.
Needless to say, the losses have clearly outweighed any gains.
None of these moves were necessarily surprising, but that doesn't make them any easier to swallow.
Sure, the Ravens locked up quarterback Joe Flacco with a record-setting contract earlier this month, but at what cost? Due to future salary cap issues resulting from his $120 million deal ($52 million guaranteed), current cuts had to be made.
We all knew about Ray's retirement prior to the playoffs. I'm not sure anyone expected the fallout in Baltimore to be this extreme, however.
In contrast, the Steelers' salary cap struggles entering the offseason left no room for the contracts of Harrison and the one Wallace ultimately received in Miami, thus sending two recent staples out the door.
Wallace leaving the 'Burgh has been a foregone conclusion for the better part of two years now. Harrison's situation was a bit more complicated, with the linebacker choosing to test the market instead of taking a requested pay cut.
As always, it comes down to the business side of the NFL, with difficult decisions facing players and teams annually every spring.
Unfortunately, those decisions don't always appease everyone. Especially the fans of two franchises accustom to winning.
It's a cyclical, and sometimes cruel, phenomenon. For several cities, success in the NFL is an aspiration. For Baltimore and Pittsburgh, it's an expectation.
While both have utilized a tried-and-true formula throughout much of the past decade, it's hard to imagine both not taking a few steps back considering the pieces that have already been lost.
Not to mention residing in an AFC North division that includes the up-and-coming Cincinnati Bengals and the much-improved Cleveland Browns.
Higher-ups refuse to admit that either the Ravens or Steelers are in 'rebuilding' mode. Instead, they classify what has recently transpired as being in a 'state of transition'. Only time will tell.
Be assured, Baltimore and Pittsburgh will find ways to fill voids, specifically in April's draft. They may even still attempt to snatch a remaining free agent in the coming days.
But, considering the magnitude of this week's departures, both certainly face an uphill battle if they hope to remain perennial contenders.
One little tidbit to keep an eye on — Harrison's agent has been in talks with the Ravens, according to both ESPN and NFL.com.
I wonder how that move would go over?

Joanna Noëlle Levesque
Years Active:
'90s, '00s, '10s
Growing up on the outskirts of Boston, MA, JoJo listened and learned as her mother practiced hymns. She started singing by imitating her mother, but quickly put her own spin on everything from nursery rhymes to pop tunes. An ad in the paper announcing open auditions for the television show Kids Say the Darndest Things: On the Road in Boston lead to the young singer wowing the audience along with the show's host, Bill Cosby, and eventually led to a phone call from Oprah Winfrey offering Jojo a spot on her show. Appearances on talk shows and gospel festivals followed, but it was her appearance on the television show America's Most Talented Kids that brought the call from producer Vincent Herbert. The former Aaliyah, Toni Braxton, and Destiny's Child producer had the young singer signed to Blackground Records and arranged sessions with famed producers like the Underdogs and Soulshock & Karlin. Her eponymous debut album followed in June 2004. Since that time, Jojo has added actress to her résumé, starring in the comedies Aquamarine and RV with Robin Williams. She released her sophomore effort, The High Road, in 2006.

Species: Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii)
Status: Critically Endangered (CR)
Interesting Fact: The name 'orangutan' means 'person of the forest'.
The Sumatran orangutan lives almost exclusively in trees, only very rarely coming down to the ground. This large Asian ape is found in lowland tropical rainforests and swamps in northern Sumatra, and feeds mainly on fruit, although it will also eat leaves, termites, and even occasionally the meat of slow lorises. The Sumatran orangutan is distinguished from the Bornean orangutan by its narrower face, longer beard and lighter fur, and the two species also behave slightly differently. Adult male orangutans are larger than females, and may have large cheek pads on either side of the face. Orangutans are long-lived and breed very slowly, with females only producing an infant around once every eight years, giving them the longest inter-birth interval of any land mammal.
The main threat to the Sumatran orangutan is the loss of vast areas of forest due to illegal logging, mining and conversion to agriculture, particularly oil palm plantations. Forests have also been fragmented by roads, and forest loss and fragmentation make orangutans more vulnerable to being captured for the illegal pet trade. This species' slow reproductive rate makes it very difficult for its populations to recover from any losses. The Sumatran orangutan is fully protected by law and is listed on Appendix I of CITES, which bans international trade in this species. However, the key to saving this charismatic primate lies in protecting its remaining forest habitat. A major stronghold for the Sumatran orangutan lies in the Leuser Ecosystem Conservation Area, and projects are also underway to rescue and rehabilitate orangutans that have been orphaned or confiscated, and, if possible, to return them to the wild.
Find out more about orangutan conservation at the Orangutan Foundation and Great Apes Survival Partnership.
You can also find out more about Sumatra and its wildlife on the ARKive Indian Ocean islands page.

Friday Fiver
1. Peston & Hester on the One show: On the eve of RBS' eagerly anticipated results this week, Stephen Hester, the undersiege Chief Executive, took to the airwaves to defend RBS. The interview on the One Show was as expected, up until the point Robert Peston, commenting that bankers usually hate the limelight, asked 'Are you enjoying yourself?'
Hester's response was telling:
'The limelight I hate. I don't know if I'd have done it if I had my time again, but I'm here and what I care a lot about is can RBS succeed? I think it can, I want to be part of the team that made it succeed, and I'm gritting my teeth about the rest and pushing on with that.'
I was impressed with two things: first, his honesty, and secondly his determination. Both came through during the interview and set the tone for how the results were received the following day.
2. Another week, another Greek bailout: A second bailout in as many years, amid constant rangling begs the simple question will it last? I'm not convinced.
3. A less marked U-turn, but a U-turn nonetheless: Cameron 'attacked' anti-business rhetoric this week decrying those who criticise big business as 'dangerous'. Quite. I'm pleased to say it wasn't just us that noticed the irony of this statement.
4. Only girls allowed: An advert with face recognition technology is highlighting discrimination against women for children's charity, Plan UK. The ad on Oxford Street ignores men and will only play to women aiming to send a message about equality. Perhaps the Government could place one in the boardrooms of Britian's biggest companies in its drive to improve equality.
5. The Sun on Sunday: Finally, we're eagerly anticipating our little trip to the newsagents this Sunday morning to get our hands on the first edition of the Sun on Sunday, to complement our last edition of the News of the World. Don't forget yours.

Let's face the facts here; there hasn't been a wide range of comic book character games worth playing. There's Spider-Man and the occasional Batman offering, and just about everything else is worthy of collecting dust, and little else. But publishers keep trying to change that, and certainly Activision has a valiant attempt in the works with X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge for GameCube, Xbox and PS2. The title, developed by overseas Genepool Studios, recreates the world and events surrounding the claw-quipped superhero in what looks to be one of the grittiest, darkest takes on a comic book license yet. The game will be out for all three consoles May 2003, but in the meantime keep reading and find out why you should be excited.
- Play as X-Men Wolverine as he fights to save himself from a deadly virus
- Explore Wolverine's past, including his birthplace at Dept. H organization, straight from the Weapon X series
- Team up with other X-Men characters and fight foes
- Use acrobatics to help beat down enemy terrorists and other conspiracy-laden criminals
- Explore eight huge worlds
- Sense mode enables Wolverine to track enemies
- Dark, gritty look leaves no room for Wolverine's yellow jumpsuit
- Single-player adventure
Wolverine has a serious problem. He's been implanted with the deadly Shiva-Virus and it's continually eating away at his insides, even, in fact, through his adamantium-laced bones. He doesn't have a lot of time to find a cure before he goes eternally bye-bye. After some investigating and some ass kicking, equally balanced of course, the reluctant X-Men travels back to the Dept. H organization that was his birthplace (in Weapon X) as a last ditch effort, and happens upon a dark conspiracy. Can he discover the evil plot behind his virus and just what mysteries lie in wait? That is a question for you.
Wolverine's Revenge can be called a third-person action-adventure. It can also be called a 3D brawler. But it's really a combination of both. As the ultra cool Wolverine -- void of yellow jumpsuit -- players explore massive and ambient environments in search of clues to his virus. Lots of enemies, humans decked out in gear and night vision goggles and superhero foes like Sabretooth, await the character at every turn, which results in quite a lot of fights. It's here that -- in its early stage anyway, the game shines brightest. Software house Gene Pool has done an admirable job of realizing Wolverine's acrobatic abilities; the hero jumps around, spins, grabs onto enemies and flings them about, zips about speedily and uses his claws to slam opponents to the ground in a violent display of power. It's all very satisfying.
In some scenarios, Wolverine is able to literally dive feet forward, grab onto an enemy's neck with his lower body and hurl the foe at a nearby wall -- smack! Other times the character is able to jump between two foes at once, latch onto both of them and then spin in mid-air, knocking them both to the ground. Again, it looks and feels very polished.
The game will feature eight different levels of various themes. Wolverine will make his way through guarded military bases, dark forests, caves and more, and according to Activision some of the areas will be gargantuan in size. In addition to fighting their way through hordes of regular enemies, players will have to move quick as Sabretooth is on Wolverine's tail throughout the whole adventure, and he doesn't want to be friends.
Wolverine is in possession of some very keen tracking abilities. The character can use a sense mode, still being tweaked by Gene Pool, to hunt down foes. In this mode, the background blurs out every so slightly and the foreground, everything in it including Wolverine, becomes outlined in cel-shaded black. The effect, mixed with the dark art style, is very atmospheric. From here, the hero can actually see the footprints of enemies, which glow red and feature outlines, and can follow his enemies to wherever they hide. It's a nice gameplay mechanic that's sure to mix things up.
On top of everything else, Wolverine will have to deal with an unhealthy selection of bosses, including such baddies as -- obviously Sabretooth, but also formidable opposition like Juggernaut. When the giant character charges at Wolverine, it's possible to jump on his back and beat on him, where he screams, "No, not my helmet! Don't you ever touch my helmet!" Wolverine can even team up with Colossus, who hurls the main character at enemies, knocking them over.
On the technical side, Wolverine's Revenge has a lot going for it. The title's art style is immediately impressive, as Wolverine sports slicked-back hair and angry looks, which are both complemented nicely with real-time facial animations that show off his wide variety of frowns. But beyond that, the game spits out detailed 3D environments complete with crisp textures, nicely modeled polygon characters and silky smooth animation, even for some seriously acrobatic challenges. With some nice lighting and particle effects to boot, not to mention brilliant cel-shading functions, the graphic side of Wolverine's Revenge is no slouch.
According to Gene Pool, the PS2 version of Wolverine's Revenge will be the most streamlined of the bunch, with enhancements in texture detail and other effects for the GameCube and Xbox versions. The games should otherwise be identical when they ship to retail May of next year.
We will of course update with much more on the game soon. But in the meantime, check out some of the first GameCube screenshots of it all in action.

Liquid bomb plot fraud gets unwarranted attention as court case begins
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Thursday, April 3, 2008
In light of today's regurgitation of the alleged terror plot to bomb multiple transatlantic airliners in August 2006, a non-event that led to mothers being forced to drink their own breast milk amidst a myriad of other airport humiliations, it's necessary to expose once again the true nature of this farce.
"Eight men planned to detonate bombs aboard flights from London across the Atlantic to create deaths on an almost unprecedented scale," reports the BBC.
"Homemade devices were to be smuggled on to passenger aircraft and detonated mid-flight, Woolwich Crown Court heard."
Let's take a moment to recap on a few facts about what actually happened.
– British MI5 Intelligence had already infiltrated an agent within the bomb squad before the alleged attack was set to take place. British newspapers at the time reported on how MI5 'sneek and peek' teams had discovered and bugged the terror cell's bomb making lab and, "Allowed the terror plot to almost reach fruition – potentially putting civilian lives at risk."
– In actual fact, as Pakistani news sources highlighted, MI5 learned that the attack was due to take place on Wednesday August 16th – yet they didn't intend to arrest the alleged terrorists until Thursday August 17th or after – at least 24 hours after the attack had taken place. The timeline offers no other explanation than the fact that MI5 were prepared to let the attack go ahead before they would make arrests.
– U.S. and British authorities were fully aware of the plot at least a week in advance and squabbled between one another on when to announce that it had been foiled. Despite the fact that MI5 had had the group under surveillance for months and had already infiltrated an agent into their ranks, a sudden announcement was made on August 10th that the plot had been exposed as if it was a last minute rescue – throwing airports into chaos as fearmongering set in and travelers were forced to endure all kinds of new humiliation despite the fact that all the alleged terrorists had been under MI5's control for weeks if not months.
– Previous investigations into how MI5 infiltrates its agents into terror organizations provide a pattern as to what undoubtedly happened in this instance – the accused terrorists were likely told that they were helping test security by being part of a drill to measure the responsiveness of airline counter-terrorism.
– The behavior of the alleged terrorists gives no other explanation than they were completely unaware that they were about to be framed for such a mammoth terror plot. The characters and behavior of the known liquid bomb suspects at the time was completely inconsistent with any notion that they were preparing to kill themselves in acts of mass terror – mirroring the pre-attack demeanor of the 7/7 patsies.
– One of the main suspects, Tayib Rauf, was pictured on CCTV entering a bulk order supermarket in Birmingham just two hours before anti-terror police swooped in to grab him for his alleged role in a plot to bomb ten transatlantic airliners. What were the tools of terror Rauf was acquiring before his kamikaze death mission? Knives? Peroxide to make the deadly liquid bomb? Cameras to detonate the bombs? No – he was buying cakes. "Does this look like the kind of person planning such a plot? He doesn't look like he's about to blow himself up," the owner of the store told the London Mirror. Rauf chatted with the owner, who said he was more concerned about his father's confectionary business than the fact that he was about to aid in the mid-air slaughter of 3,000 people. Any two-bit psychologist can tell you that this individual's behavior completely belies the notion that his life is about to come to an end. That in itself exposes the alleged plot for the monumental fraud it is.
– Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray also highlighted the limited capabilities and intent of the suspects – proof he said that the alert was government propaganda from a cabal that yearned for a "new 9/11." "None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time," said Murray.
– Again we were subjected to the same old story – they had young families, they were not political, they were active members of the community, everyone liked them whatever race, they loved football, they planned to be doctors, they had future prospects. The evidence that the London bombers knew they were about to die was so flimsy that newspapers and even the London Metropolitan Police concluded that they were unwitting dupes.
Despite these telling facts, all of which were casually brushed aside by the corporate media, we are now being forced to endure the same dose of fearmongering again two years later, absent the glaring reality that the much vaunted liquid bomb plot was nothing more than a cooked-up fraud on behalf of British and U.S. intelligence.

Power up your swag with Nihon Auctions
Just got a package from Nihon Auctions. I was able to bid on and win two great items that I had my eye on for a while.
I remember seeing the "DOPE" logo on a hoodie by rvddw a while ago, but by the time I found out about the item, it was no longer in print. Items like this are pressed in a limited run and they sell out fast. I couldn't get it from reversal directly, and without access to Japanese auction services I had no chance to acquire such items without traveling to Japan and searching in person.
I had seen the hat come and go in their online store, and thought I missed my chance at owning one. Luckily I was able to find these out of print items using nihonauctions.com
Even more amazingly, the price was significantly lower than if I was able to buy them direct from reversal in the first place. Reversal t-shirts usually go for $55-$60. My max bid was around half that price.
Reversal beanies usually go for $45. My max bid was less than half that price.
I can't wait to see what else is out there now that I have access to a service like this.

Web Apps and InfoGrid
Graph databases are great for web apps: instead of somehow having to map tables and rows to URLs, developers can simply 1-to-1 map objects in the GraphDB to URLs.
Unlike most other GraphDBs, InfoGrid has extensive libraries to make the creation of web pages from dynamic graphs straightforward.
Here's an example. Let's say on your web page, you want to show a list of nodes related to some node 'x'. For example, a social media friends list, or list of purchases, or bookmarks etc. Here is the JSP code:
<set:traverseIterate startObjectName="x" traversalSpecification="*" loopVar="y"> <set:iterateNoContent>
Sorry, no neighbors.
</set:iterateNoContent> <set:iterateHeader>
 </set:iterateHeader> <set:iterateContentRow>
 <mesh:meshObjectLink meshObjectName="y"> <mesh:meshObject meshObjectName="y" /> </mesh:meshObjectLink>
 </set:iterateContentRow> <set:iterateFooter>
 </set:iterateFooter> <set:traverseIterate>
If you look closely, you see that not only does it print the neighbor nodes in the graph, but also adds a hyperlink to them, so they can clicked on and examined. And if there are no neighbors, a message is printed saying so.
What if I don't want any kind of neighbor, but only those related in some fashion, say business colleagues? Well, depends a bit on your model, but it's usually as simple as replacing the first line of JSP above with something like this:
<set:traverseIterate startObjectName="x" traversalSpecification="com.example.MySubjectArea/Person_IsColleagueOf_Person-S" loopVar="y">
Notice that there is no other code that needs to be written, no object-relational mapping, no SQL syntax to get right, no handler code or other clumsy magic. Of course, you can have may of these statements on the same page, nested etc.
A great way of developing rich web pages really quickly.
