Taunton police are mourning the death of a canine partner who died on Tuesday after serving the city for seven years.
Renko, a dog handled in the line of service by Taunton police Officer Robert Swartz, was a German shepherd imported from the Czech Republic after it was born on November 23, 2003. Taunton police said Renko was a "dual-purpose dog," specializing in locating narcotics and the recovery of firearms.
"He was never one to complain, always eager to go to work and always willing to place himself in harm's way to protect the citizens, his handler and the officers of the department," Swartz said in a statement on Tuesday.
The dog retired from Taunton police service in 2012 and continued to live with Swartz and his family.
Swartz said Renko was responsible for assisting in hundreds of arrests, seizure of multitudes of narcotics and the recovery of several firearms used in the commission of crimes, after graduating from the patrol and narcotics academy in October 2005. Renko was a recipient of a number of commendations for his work from the department, he said.

I wanted to put my 13 year old dog down but, when I looked at him he gave me this look that said mommy please I am not ready. Here is the issue he is wearing pullups (I have two dogs). Now what he does is either when excited, loses balance (bad leg) or just because he poo. What is annoying is that when we go for walks he may not poo so I put on and somethimes I do not and then he poo on carpet, to make matters worse I have left both outside for hours and as soon as he comes in on goes pullup and he poo. Now he is drinking lots of water and becoming thinner but not throwing up I am lost. I have tried everything in fact this morning before we went for our walk he pooed again in pull up any sugggestion would be wonderful
maybe try walking the dog 20 minutes or so after eating, they often have to go around that time.
For the drinking lots of water and getting thinner....these are signs of a problem and this dog should see a vet.
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.

I agree with Marko that this old pup needs to see a vet. With my old girl, the fact that she was pooping inappropriately was a sign that advanced arthritis was affecting her ability to control her bowels. This could be an issue for your boy. For a while we had our girl on pills to help with the pain swelling in her spine that was causing this issue. Ultimately though we had to make the decision to have her PTS. It is never an easy choice to make, but sometimes it is in the best interest of your pet. You really do need to seek the help of a professional on this. Best of luck to you and your sweet boy. He knows you love him no matter what decision you make.
Chiming in to agree that your pooch needs to see the Vet. My old girl developed fecal incontinence. It was pretty easy to handle, literally, just pick them up and put them outside, no need for panties. Unless your boy is urinary incontinent as well? Or his stools are loose?
With our girl her problem was Invertebral Disk Disease and Significant Spinal Spondylosis. We found out (X-ray) when she was 12 and a half and she lived to 14 and a half. If your boy has something like this you need to know so you can handle him properly. Not knowing, you could inadvertently do something to make him worse. Please see your Vet.

Climate, nutrition, gender equality...there are many sides to global hunger and, while none of them is hard to understand by itself, it's helpful to look at them one by one. Here are eight short videos that help you do that.
ROME -- The World Food Programme, like several of the organizations behind these videos, is working for a world with zero hunger. By watching them, and educating yourself about hunger, you are taking an important step towards joining that global effort.
1. Hunger isn't just a stomach thing – World Vision
This video explains malnutrition in easy terms and shows the effects it can have on children's health. It emerges clearly that children don't just need food – they also need it to be the right food. View video
2. What is Food Insecurity? – Thomson Reuters Foundation
This neat video by the Thomson Reuters Foundation explains what we mean exactly by 'food security' - a term that crops up frequently in discussions about hunger and how to tackle it. View video
3. Five Hunger Myths - Capac Roberts/AlertNet
There are many misconceptions on the subject of hunger and this short video blasts five of the most common. Is there enough food to feed the world? Do famines always happen in Africa? Find out here. View video
4. Why Women Matter - USAID
Women are often portrayed as being victims of hunger. And frequently they are. But more importantly they are a critical part of the solution. This video from USAID powerfully makes the case that empowering women will help beat hunger. View video
5. Ending Deadly Hunger For Good - Action Against Hunger
How close are we to ending deadly hunger? This video argues that we're not far off, given some of the innovations that have been made recently in the area of special foods for children who are vulnerable to malnutrition. View video
6. The First 1,000 Days Of Life Are Critical - UNICEF UK
As the title suggests, the first 1,000 days of a child's life are incredibly important. They are crucial in determining the future health and prospects of that child. This video from Unicef UK makes it all very clear. View video
7. Hunger, Nutritrion and Climate Change - IrishAid
The close links between climate change and world hunger are explored in an engaging way in this animated video made for last year's Hunger, Nutrition and Climate Justice conference in Dublin. View video
8. Working for Zero Hunger - World Food Programme
There's enough food in the world to feed every man, woman and child. So a world with zero hunger is within reach. In fact, it's what WFP, along with many other partners, is working for. This video explains how we're going about it. View video

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In their final tune up for the Conference Carolinas Indoor Championships, both Eliza Parker and Justin Newring turned in stellar performances last week at the Mountaineer Open. Parker was named Conference Carolinas Women's Indoor Track Player of the week, and Newring earned the same honor on the men's side.
At the Mountaineer Open, Parker set a personal record by nearly 10 seconds in the mile as she finished second by just over one second with her time of 5:24.73. In the 3000 meter run, she finished first by nearly two seconds with a time of 10:51.10.
Newring had a stellar meet at the Mountaineer Open, which he began by tying his career-best time in winning the 400 meter dash. The junior had previously set his personal record at the Niswonger Invitational hosted by East Tennessee State University last month. He had already attained an NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the event. Newring followed up that record-setting performance by coming within .03 meters of his personal best in the triple jump on his way to finishing second with a jump of 13.02 meters.
Both the King men's and women's track and field teams will be in action again on February 23 at the Conference Carolinas Indoor Championships at JDLFastTrack in Winston-Salem, N.C. Both teams will be trying to repeat as conference indoor champions.

Still Choppin and other "popular" college theme songs
Still Choppin and other "popular" college theme songs
Just a little bit of relief for your sore pride, folks. We may not be pleased with "In the Big House", which unfortunately is coming to a godzillatron near you soon, but we can no longer be singled out for that.
It all started, of course, with "We are ND".
Then of course, there were classics like LSU's and many others.
Now comes an official FSU production, Bane - Still Choppin
So at least we've got ever increasing company. I maintain that it all starts when you let Big & Rich get involved. It's downhill from there.

Although Harvey County's budget typically draws the most attention from the public when it is approved each summer, budgeting and financial management actually is a year-long process.
Anthony Swartzendruber, assistant administrator and finance director for the county, keeps busy either closing out a previous year's budget, managing the current budget or planning for the next year's budget. He said the county ended 2012 in good shape and is well prepared for 2013.
"Harvey County ended the year with a strengthened financial position, which enables the county to meet future commitments, both planned and unplanned," he said. "... Department heads did an excellent job on their budgets this year."
The county's overall expenditures (un-audited) for 2012 were $16.6 million, and revenues were $17.5 million.
The county department with the largest budget in 2012 was the sheriff's department at $3.25 million, which includes funding for the detention center, investigations and patrol. Public safety makes up 54 percent of the county's total general fund expenditures.
Swartzendruber said there weren't too many unexpected major expenses last year. Although the commission did approve a new video surveillance system in the detention center — a project not originally in the county budget — the sheriff's department was able to absorb the cost of the project within its operating budget.
The county's largest capital improvement project in 2012 was its road overlay program. About 5.56 miles of road received a 2-inch overlay. Other major expenditures for 2012 included replacing five vehicles in the sheriff's department and replacing the county's AS/400 financial system.
The county was able to cut costs in several places, such as encouraging departments to reduce overtime expenses. Lower utility and fuel costs also helped the county to save money.
Swartzendruber said the county keeps some money in reserve each year, so the county has extra money it could spend in case of an emergency. The county's primary operating fund, or the general fund, must include money set aside that is equal to a minimum of 10 percent of budgeted annual expenditures and transfers out. Other funds — such as the road and bridge fund and the county extension fund — are required to have a minimum of 5 percent of the budgeted annual expenditures and transfers out.
Looking ahead, the county's biggest capital improvement expense for 2013 also will be in the road and bridge department. The county has scheduled 6 miles of 2-inch overlay on South Hertzler from Halstead to the county line. The amount budgeted for the project is $775,000.
The county also has begun looking at replacing the courthouse heating and cooling system.
"We'll have to budget for some major improvements either in 2014 or 2015," Swartzendruber said.
Planning for the 2014 budget will begin in February, and departments will begin meeting with county commissioners in May and June to go over their budget requests. Swartzendruber anticipates the 2014 budget will be adopted on Aug. 12. He said federal and state cuts will continue to impact local government budgeting decisions.

The Bush House Fire
I don't remember ever actually seeing the flames that appear in
my photos.
My memory is clear though
of the speed
of the rolling
of that smoke
over roof and bracket
its mad, fast turning orange to black.
Nobody died in the Bush House fire,
but I can't wash the cinders off my car
or reset my clocks from when the power went out.
From my bedroom window I keep a check on the pile,
like our town's own ground zero, bent pipes poking out from bricks and
wood still
burning. The smell comforts like bread, stuck in my clothes, my pillows.
The last time I saw my Grandma we were silly-dizzy in the lilac
scent from
huge bouquets at the Mother's Day Buffet.
I first met Julia and David at Snitzels,
around a wooden table, I learned she would have a baby.
My husband and I had our wedding dinner in the room with puffy white
painted on a too blue ceiling.
We tried to stay in a room upstairs that night.
I didn't mind that lights switched on and off by themselves, but
the bed
sank so low to springs that we walked the block back home in moonlight.
It's not these
memories that ache, but missing the facade.
- that arrangement of bricks
Bricks broken by rows of tall thin windows, at night lit with electric
Bricks that blocked my view of Half-moon Hill in the gold light of morning,
Bricks painted a fleshy cream color, I was never sure was quite right.

Raynham voters overwhelmingly endorsed a slot parlor casino in a townwide referendum on Tuesday, making the community the first in the state to pass a host agreement required for such a facility under the 2011 Massachusetts gaming legislation.
Raynham voters overwhelmingly endorsed a slot parlor casino in a townwide referendum on Tuesday, making the community the first in the state to pass a host agreement required for such a facility under the 2011 Massachusetts gaming legislation.
By a margin of 1,822 to 290, voters approved the community host agreement reached by slot license applicant Raynham Park LLC and town officials. With 21.5 percent voter turnout, 86.1 percent of voters approved the proposal (four blanks ballots were entered).
Under the agreement, Raynham Park LLC, including operating partner Greenwood Racing and Raynham Park dog track owner George Carney, will contribute more than $1 million in annual impact mitigation funds to the town, which will in turn allow the developers to operate a 1,250-machine slot parlor if they are awarded the state sole slot license.
"I feel like a lot of hard work by a lot of people who work for the company has paid off," said Carney, who has been running Raynham Park since 1966, but whose family was involved since 1942. "I think the people in the town of Raynham appreciate that so many local people worked there in the past. They are looking forward to getting people back to work."
Carney thanked citizens and town leaders who supported the slot proposal, adding that, he "can't tell you how happy we are" about the "tremendous victory" at the ballot box.
"The residents of Raynham today made it very clear that they want a slots facility at Raynham Park," said Tony Ricci, CEO of Greenwood Racing. "We are now the first applicant in Massachusetts to have received initial approval from the Gaming Commission and the overwhelming approval of the host community. We believe this puts us in a very strong position going forward."
Raynham Park LLC said it plans to invest $220 million into the slot casino project, which would unfold over several phases at the 125-acre site of the Raynham-Taunton Greyhound Park on Broadway (Route 138) in Raynham, now known simply as Raynham Park. The state-required investment for the slot license holder is $125 million.
In Phase 1, the developers said, the existing clubhouse building (which now hosts simulcast dog race betting) would be converted into a temporary slot parlor. Then comes Phase 2, when the building would be torn down and replaced with a 175,000-square-foot facility to house the slot parlor, along with restaurants, retail and an entertainment venue, and potential for additional expansion.
The Raynham community host agreement states that Raynham Park LLC will pay Raynham $1 million each year for three years, increasing annually by 2.5 percent after that (with a cap at the 20th year). Raynham Park LLC also committed to contributing $100,000 annually to a capital costs fund, $15,000 per year to a program to provide Route 138 businesses with funds to improve their facades, and $5,000 per year in vouchers for local businesses given out to slot parlor patrons.
That's all in addition to an estimated $2.5 million in property taxes, town official said.
Plainridge Racecourse, which was considered Raynham Park's main rival for the license, was eliminated from the running as a slot applicant earlier this month, during the first round of the application process conducted by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
But Raynham Park is still competing against three other applicants, including Rush, with a site in Milbury, Cordish, with a site in Leominster, and Penn National Gaming, with a site in Tewksbury. The three competing applicants have forged community host agreements, with each of the required referendum votes scheduled for September.
"I think we have a great chance," said Carney, of Raynham Park. "We have a great location. We run a good operation and we can be up and running fast, that's one of the most important things that the state is interested in. …We have already laid out (in the existing building) where we can immediately put 1,250 machines and continue simulcasting. I don't think anyone else can make that statement and carry it through."
In addition to the slot license, development groups with sites throughout the state and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe (with a location in Taunton) are pursuing a total of three licenses for full-fledged casinos that go beyond just slot machines.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission expects to award the slot license by the end of this year.
A town-hired gaming impact consultant estimated that the Raynham Park slot proposal would create 411 to 500 permanent jobs. That number does not include temporary employment from construction. The developers have said as many as 1,000 new jobs will be created, including 800 "ongoing jobs."
Joe Pacheco, chair of the Raynham Board of Selectmen, said with a 7.8 percent unemployment rate reported in Raynham in June, new jobs were key to the proposal.
"You aren't talking about just a couple people unemployed here," Pacheco said. "We have lots of people actively looking for jobs. This is an opportunity for those people to work. This foremost was about jobs, for me."
Raynham voters interviewed outside of the polling place at the Raynham Middle School said that they wanted to pass the referendum in order to return jobs to Raynham Park, which said it was forced to lay off hundreds of staff members.
Bruce Rittle said he used to work for the greyhound track until the state ban on dog racing was enacted in 2010. His work time was cut down due to the ban, and eventually he quit, leaving his hours for others to pick up.
"It'll add to our tax base," Rittle said. "That's why I want it. It'll bring the jobs back."
Asked if he might seek another job at Raynham Park should it transform into a casino, Rittle said, "Maybe someday."
Kelly O'Malley echoed Rittle's concerns about jobs, saying that the slot parlor would be a benefit for the town and the local economy.
"I think it will be good for everyone," O'Malley said. "I'm here to vote for the track, revenue and jobs. It was an easy decision. Seems like whole town is behind it."
Across a packed parking lot at Raynham Middle School, where voters streamed steadily in and out of the ballot booths, union workers and current dog track employees were holding up signs urging residents to vote for the slots.
George Pacheco, who came by to place his vote around 5 p.m., reflected a common concern about those who lost their jobs when dog racing was banned at Raynham Park.
"We were sad for the people who lost their jobs at the track when dog racing was shut down," Pacheco said. "I think this will give jobs to people and add income to the community."
Greenwood Racing, the operating partner for the Raynham slot parlor proposal, owns "Parx Casino" in Bensalem, Penn., outside Philadelphia, where slot machines have been running since 2006. The development team published a website has titled the proposed Raynham casino as "Parx Raynham," with "Parx Casino" sign on renderings of the proposed facility.
Greenwood Racing bought what was then Philadelphia Park in 1990. The chairman of Greenwood Racing, and its founder, is Robert W. Green.

ECS P45T-A Review
With the wealth of new chipsets on the market now, how do you choose the right one for you? Say you want the latest and greatest, but your wallet frowns when you see the prices of some of the newer boards. What do you do? Well, you should never sacrifice or settle for anything less than what you want, and Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) makes all of that possible. ECS has come a long way in the motherboard market, offering stable platforms that will not break your budget. Recently ECS launched its "Black Series" motherboards, which are aimed at enthusiasts and gamers who push their systems to the limit.
Today we are going to take a look at the ECS P45T-A, which is based on the new Intel P45 and ICH10R chipsets. The P45 chipset supports 45nm CPUs with a Front Side Bus up to 1333MHz. This board is designed to give you the maximum amount of performance for the best price. With features like CrossFireX technology and a Motherboard Intelligent BIOS, it makes me curious how good its performance really is.
Closer Look:
The ECS P45T-A comes packaged in the new Black Series box that ECS has adopted for their Black Series motherboards. It features a dragon mascot, and has some of the board's specifications on the front of the box for easy recognition. The back of the box highlights specific features, like its energy saving capabilities, and CrossFireX and 45nm readiness. You'll also find specifications for the board and, an angle picture so you can see the board's layout before you buy.
Opening the box gives you a look at what the ECS P45T-A has to offer. There are two layers inside; the top houses the included accessories, and the bottom protects the motherboard itself. Included with the P45T-A is the manual, a driver CD, an IDE cable, four SATA cables, and an I/O shield. The SATA cables have right angle connectors on one end, which helps to route the cables in tight cases.
Now that we have everything out of the packaging, let's move on and take a better look at the P45T-A board.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct Recognized With Connected Home 2011 Award
This is a Vendor Newsfeed Posted by (Display Name not set)
May 31, 2011
At the recent Connected Home Global Summit in London, England, the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct program from the Wi-Fi Alliance received top honors in the Best Contribution to Interconnectivity Standards. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct is a certification designation given to products that are capable of device-to-device connections without the presence of a traditional home, office or hotspot network.
"We are proud to be recognized for this important contribution to device connectivity," said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director of the Wi-Fi Alliance. "Wi-Fi Alliance member companies collaborate to create dynamic and powerful Wi-Fi solutions to improve the usefulness of Wi-Fi in our content-rich world. Wi-Fi Direct is a great example of how Wi-Fi continues to evolve in support of advanced digital home applications."
Wi-Fi Direct connectivity meets an important consumer need for users to enjoy seamless device connectivity, both at home and on the go. Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices can connect with legacy Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices, making the new technology instantly useful in connecting to products already in consumers' homes. Data transmissions between Wi-Fi Direct devices are always protected with WPA2 security protections, and the process of getting connected is made simple with Wi-Fi Protected Setup, another Wi-Fi Alliance innovation.
Wi-Fi Direct-certified products are making a strong market entry in the digital home category. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct designation has been given to products ranging from core technology silicon to popular consumer electronics such as HD televisions, Blu-Ray players, home theater systems and smartphones. In-Stat, a division of NPD group, recently announced a forecast of 173 million Wi-Fi Direct devices to ship in 2011 – a statistic representing close to one of every five Wi-Fi devices shipped worldwide this year.
"The technology behind Wi-Fi Direct presents an incredibly compelling solution for digital home applications," said Brian O'Rourke, Research Director of In-Stat. "As application developers define new solutions to run over Wi-Fi Direct connections, we expect to see a very strong adoption curve over the coming years."
More information including a current list of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct products, the technical specification, white papers and more, is available at www.wi-fi.org/Wi-Fi_Direct.php.

Hi Gunther,
I'm looking to get back into tennis, haven't played in about a year. Would you like to play sometime?
Hi Gunther. The wrist brace I have is made by Babolat but isn't sold in the US. I found out about it at the TW forums and agree with all those who think it works well. I purchased the brace from this Canadian site:
Hopefully it will help Rodrigo. Thanks again for letting me try your Dunlop 4D 200, its a fantastic stick.
Fantastic! Thanks again, I really enjoyed it. Gotta head into LA Monday, but maybe a bit of tennis on Tuesday? Same time-ish? My email is email@example.com, cell is 917 239 2860 -- I'll try emailing you now as well...
Great, let's play!
Those UCSB courts are easy for me, too. Name your time! Later this morning? This afternoon? Anytime tomorrow.
I've just moved to Santa Barbara and would love to hit some tennis balls. Let me know if you're interested. My schedule is super flexible.
This is us:
Hi Gunther,
I will be there tomorrow, I have played there before :)
I usually play at SBHS or Muni. Let's connect when you get back then. See you then.
Hi Gunther. Maybe we can try to hit sometime again? :)
Hi Gunther
My email is email@example.com. I have sent a message to your email.
Un saludo.

NEW YORK (AP) The Associated Press will recognize the NFL's top assistant coach with a new award beginning this season, the news organization announced Wednesday.
The Assistant Coach of the Year award will be the AP's eighth NFL honor, joining MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, and Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year.
A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league will vote on all the awards, and the winners will be announced on Super Bowl eve. The award will be open to any assistant coach, from coordinators to position coaches to quality control coaches.
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who spent a decade as an assistant coach in Baltimore before getting his current job, called the award ''a great idea, and overdue.''
''Every head coach is an extension of his staff,'' said Ryan, who won a Super Bowl as an assistant with the Ravens. ''That's the absolute truth. I don't care how good one man is, he can't get the job done without an outstanding set of assistant coaches. And this is a way to recognize them.
''There are a lot of great assistant coaches out there who deserve to be recognized.''
Every year since Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson won the award in 1990, the AP's Coach of the Year has served an apprenticeship on an NFL staff. That includes longtime assistants such as Dan Reeves, Dick Jauron and Marvin Lewis.
In 2012, Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians replaced the ill Chuck Pagano early in the season as an interim head coach and led the Colts to the AFC South title. Pagano won the AP Coach of the Year.
He parlayed that success into his first NFL head coaching gig, guiding the Arizona Cardinals to a turnaround 10-6 record last season.
Arians is the only interim to win Coach of the Year.
''This kind of award can spark other things for a coach in his career,'' Ryan said of the new assistant coach award. ''It gives these guys a platform and an owner takes notice, gets to know this guy and his work. This is a big deal.''
Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who served on staffs with the Eagles, Packers and Giants, knows exactly what makes a good assistant coach.
''You want people who are goal-oriented, who aspire to improve their lot and be in a position to have greater responsibility,'' Coughlin said. ''But it always gets back to Square 1: You are happy only when your players and your unit and your team performs well.
''It's important that they are being evaluated by their ability to motivate and to teach and coach and create an environment where they can perform to the best of their ability, and in turn, so does the team.''
This is the first new award the AP will be handing out since 1998, when the first Comeback Player of the Year honor was won by Buffalo quarterback Doug Flutie. Most of the other AP awards date back to the 1950s and `60s.

"Our churches, as well as individual believers and all persons who believe in liberty of conscience, should stand with U.S. military chaplains who are resisting oppressive political correctness." -- Mark Tooley, IRD President
Contact: Jeff Walton, Institute on Religion and Democracy, 202-682-4131, 202-413-5639 cell, firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, May 25, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy (DADT) and efforts to legalize same-sex marriage are increasingly threatening the religious liberty of U.S. military chaplains to uphold traditional marriage. Lawmakers on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee have reported that chaplains opposed to DADT repeal and same-sex marriage have been silenced, punished or even told to resign.Religious liberty threats to chaplains are not limited to sexuality controversies. In January, the U.S. Army's Office of the Chief of Chaplains told Catholic Army chaplains not to read from the pulpit a letter from Archbishop Timothy Broglio. Broglio, who leads the Archdiocese for the Military Services, wrote that an Obamacare regulation was "a blow" to a freedom that U.S. troops have fought to defend. U.S. Army Secretary McHugh later admitted that it had been wrong to try to silence the Catholic chaplains.
Active duty chaplains from conservative religious traditions vastly outnumber those from liberal denominations. As of 2010, there were 448 Southern Baptist and 252 Roman Catholic chaplains, compared to only 56 Episcopal, 17 United Church of Christ (UCC) and two Unitarian Universalist chaplains.IRD President Mark Tooley commented:
The Institute on Religion & Democracy works to reaffirm the church's biblical and historical teachings, strengthen and reform its role in public life, protect religious freedom, and renew democracy at home and abroad.www.TheIRD.org

Aveo Engineering has received an FAA TSO for its Ultra Galactica series of 2 and 3 function wingtip lights, and Red Baron anti-collision beacon. These lights are now available for installation on most aircraft.
The Ultra wingtip lights combine red or green navigation, strobe, and rear white position lights, and the Ultra Embedded version removes the rear position light function in anticipation of being installed under a recessed wingtip lens. The Red Baron is suitable for fuselage or vertical stabilizer mounting, and all Aveo airframe lights are completely self contained with no external power supply needed, company officials said.
Most Aveo lighting products come with an unlimited, lifetime warranty should there ever be a failure due to any defect. "Should there ever be a problem that isn't a result of something like abuse or a lightning strike," says Aveo founder Christian Nielsen, "we simply swap out the unit for a new one. Fortunately, this is something we don't have to do often, given our extreme level of reliability."

While U.S. manufacturing is well known as a big loser in the decades-long trend toward free trade and globalization, two pillars of Florida agriculture, tomatoes and strawberries, are battling along the same lines.
WINTER HAVEN | While U.S. manufacturing is well known as a big loser in the decades-long trend toward free trade and globalization, two pillars of Florida agriculture, tomatoes and strawberries, are battling along the same lines.
In Florida, however, the opponent is not China and other low-wage Asian nations but the rising tide of cheaper tomato and strawberry imports from Mexico, which have undercut U.S. retail and farm prices.
"They (Mexican growers) produce for the U.S. markets," said John VanSickle, an agricultural economist at the University of Florida in Gainesville who specializes in international trade issues, including tomatoes and strawberries. "The premium product goes to the U.S., and the rest stays in Mexico. If they don't have a U.S. market, they don't have a business."
Mexican strawberry imports showed the steepest rise in the last five years, jumping 142 percent from 2008 to 2011, according to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In the first three quarters of this year, they soared 50 percent compared to the same period in 2011.
Mexican imports will likely rise less steeply in the fourth quarter because farmers in both countries faced many of the same unfavorable growing conditions, said Ted Campbell, executive director of the Florida Strawberry Growers Association in Dover, the industry's trade group.
But that doesn't mean the Mexican market threat has subsided, he said.
"They're not going away. They're going to continue to grow," Campbell said. "You can't ignore what's going on."
Mexican tomato imports have risen significantly but less sharply in the past five years, up 43.7 percent from 2008 through 2011 and another 5.6 percent in the first three 2012 quarters compared with 2011, USDA figures show.
Those numbers reflect Mexican imports of round tomatoes grown in open fields and in "hothouses," or covered areas such as a greenhouse. Those varieties most directly compete with Florida round tomatoes, the dominant variety grown here.
Mexican hothouse tomatoes, which account for about 75 percent of total imports, pose the bigger threat, the federal data shows. They've risen 74 percent from 2008 through 2011.
"In the last five to six years, Mexico has converted from a field culture to a hothouse culture," VanSickle said.
That trend will continue, he added. Among the factors fueling the transition are better prices and lower production costs, including pesticides, which appeals to U.S. consumers concerned about chemical residues on produce.
The smaller percentage growth in imports simply reflects the fact that Mexican tomatoes have been competing in the U.S. market for decades longer.
Even at the time of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Mexican tomatoes had a roughly 40 percent share of the U.S. market, said Reggie Brown, chief executive of the Maitland-based Florida Tomato Exchange, the industry trade group.
Now, its share has grown to about 50 percent currently, and continues to climb.
Florida currently has a 40 percent annual share of the U.S. market for fresh, field-grown, round tomatoes, he said, and it supplies virtually all of the domestic market in that category between December and May.
Mexican competition has sent Florida's tomato acreage down by more than 26 percent in the past decade, from 43,500 acres in the 2001-02 season to 32,000 in 2010-11, according to USDA. Brown estimated the current total at about 30,000 acres.
"It's almost entirely due to Mexican imports," said Tony DiMare, vice president of DiMare Fresh Inc., a national produce company and one of the top three U.S. tomato growers and shippers. DiMare works at the company's Apollo Beach packinghouse.
Florida tomato growers and their counterparts in other states accuse their Mexican counterparts of illegally dumping tomatoes in the U.S., or selling them at prices below the cost of production. The strategy attempts to eliminate competitors to eventually gain control of an entire market.
U.S. growers made the same charge in 1996, two years after NAFTA's enactment.
The U.S. Commerce Department, fearful the complaint would destroy the trade pact, negotiated an agreement with Mexican producer known in the industry as the "suspension agreement" because it suspended action on the dumping complaint, DiMare said.
The suspension agreement was supposed to eliminate surges of imported Mexican tomatoes to maintain stable market prices, he said.
"In my opinion, the Commerce Department failed miserably," in enforcing the agreement, said DiMare, citing the recent Mexican import growth.
U.S. growers have asked the Commerce Department to drop both the suspension agreement, scheduled to expire in January, and the 1996 dumping action. A decision on both is expected by February, Brown said.
Rulings in favor of U.S. tomato growers would allow them to proceed with a new dumping complaint, widely expected to happen.
Mexican imports had their biggest effect on the U.S. tomato and strawberry markets during the 2011-12 season, when a flood of both commodities sent prices plummeting, Campbell and DiMare said.
Farmers in Florida and Mexico lost money last season because of depressed prices, they said.
"We had such depressed prices last year, we couldn't recover our picking, packing and transportation costs," DiMare said. "They (Mexican growers) inundated their own market. They absolutely destroyed the U.S. market."
Wholesale strawberry prices a year ago fell to $7 per flat, or the break-even point, by Christmas, Campbell and growers reported earlier. They recovered briefly in January but sank again the following month.
Because of lower volumes, wholesale strawberry prices returned to a normal levels this season, USDA figures show. Prices averaged about $26 per flat in early December, when Florida is the exclusive domestic strawberry producer, and were about $17.50 on Thursday.
Florida strawberry growers generally harvest until March, when California production ramps up, sending wholesale price below the break-even point.
The significance of the Mexican competition is that its growers compete in the same market windows traditionally dominated by Florida tomato and strawberry growers. Leaders in both commodities view Mexico as a continuing threat.
"If we have seasons like we had last year, where import volumes kept prices so low and made it impossible to sell at a profit, this industry can't maintain those types of losses," Brown said.
The state's tomato and strawberry growers can compete with Mexico, VanSickle said, but both will have to transition to newer technologies.
In both cases, that would include following their Mexican competitors by turning to "covered agriculture," he said. That would include growing in traditional greenhouses or other closed environments, such as large plastic tunnels put up over an entire crop row.
VanSickle, who consults for Florida tomato growers, has delivered that message to industry leaders without much effect, he said.
DiMare and Brown agreed the Florida climate makes covered agricultural production unworkable and the costs "prohibitive," particularly in the current profit environment.
The price to build a one-acre greenhouse, including temperature controls, would run about $1 million, Brown said.
An acre of plastic tunnels over strawberries would cost $30,000, Campbell said, and all could be blown away with a single hurricane or tropical storm.
VanSickle acknowledged a transition would come with big up-front costs, but he maintained growers, particularly tomato growers, could recover by supplying a better product that would fetch a higher market price.
"In this era, consumers are willing to pay more for a better-tasting tomato," VanSickle said.
"If they want to compete, they've got to change the way they're doing business."

Stylish & Simple Storage: Salt Cellars
Salt Cellars aren't the latest and greatest things — they've actually been used by professional chefs for quite some time but have recently crossed over into mainstream use.
Use them to store flavored gourmet salts or the course kosher salt you use daily. These cellars help to closely control and measure how much salt you use. After all, it's pretty hard to measure how much salt is coming from a salt grinder.
Here are 5 stylish and simple ways to store salt:
• Olive Wood Salt Keeper, $49.95 at Williams Sonoma
• Bamboo Salt Keeper, $12.95 at Crate and Barrel
• Emile Henry White Salt Pig, $39.95 at Sur la Table
• Charlotte Watson Black Salt Keeper, £22.50 at Henry Watson
• Salt Crock, $30.00 at Le Creuset

Historical Theology
Theologians who just won't die
Buy 'The Breeze of the Centuries'

- Mike Reeves was formerly UCCF's Head of Theology, and is now Theologian-at-Large at Wales Evangelical School of Theology. View all resources by Mike Reeves
The Breeze of the Centuries by Michael Reeves, out now from IVP.
Is 'newer' really 'better'? We often assume so, but if we do treat the past as inferior we will ignore the legacy of history, and thus will find ourselves stranded on the tiny desert island of our own moment in time.
In particular, this applies to Christian theology, which should be thought, and lived, corporately by the church down through the ages.
The remedy to 'chronological snobbery' is, as C. S. Lewis put it, 'to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds'. Such is the motivation behind Michael Reeves' introduction to a selection of influential or significant Christian theologians.
This accessible and informative volume covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas.
Each chapter begins with a brief biography and some background, then surveys each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.
'Full of interest and totally scintillating.' Greg Haslam, Westminster Chapel

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After strong showings at last weekend's Atlantic Sun Outdoor Championships, head coach Bill Taylor will lead a smaller contingent into this weekend's Oxy Invite in Los Angeles, Calif.
The women's team will send six competitors into the women's 5000m run at Saturday's meet: freshmen Maggie Lawrence, Kendra Lobley and Renee' Menzie and sophomores Tessa Hoefle, Alex Newby and Dani Walker. The men's team will send junior Ashton Fisher to run the 3000m steeplechase and freshman Colin Dempster to run the 400m open event. Sophomore Tucker Peabody will compete in the 100m and 200m dashes.
The West Coast meet will bring out some new competition for the Bisons and Lady Bisons. In addition to host Occidental, Lipscomb will compete against athletes from Hawaii, Alaska-Anchorage, Long Beach State, USC, Pepperdine and Cal State-Fullerton among others.
Lobley was named the women's A-Sun Freshman of the Year last week – she won two gold medals two weeks ago at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships, in the 5000m and the steeplechase, and has broken three school records this season.
Peabody was a busy man at the A-Sun Championships, winning two gold medals (200m dash, 4x400m relays) and two bronzes (100m dash, 4x100m relay) on the final day of competition in Jacksonville.
At last year's Oxy Invite, Hoefle shattered the previous 5000m run record by nearly 30 seconds to finish ninth at 17:15.96s. Walker ran the 1500m and lowered her then-personal best to 4:36.62s.
Many of these same athletes along with a few other returners will compete at next weekend's Georgia Tech Invitational. It will be the final chance this year for athletes to earn marks to qualify for the NCAA East Regional.

Animal Planet series airs episode starring Children's Hospital patient
Cable television channel Animal Planet aired an episode of the series "Monsters Inside Me", during the week of Oct. 15, which featured UC Davis Children's Hospital patient Precious Reynolds, the Humboldt County grade-schooler who in 2011 became the third person in the United States known to have survived rabies infection. The episode is entitled "Choosing Between Life and Limb."
The team treating Precious was led by Jean Wiedeman, associate professor of pediatric infectious diseases. Wiedeman coordinated her care with state, local and federal officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Carol Glaser of the California Department of Public Health's Encephalitis and Special Investigations Section, and county health departments in Humboldt and Sacramento counties.
The program was taped in part at UC Davis in May 2013. Portions of the program included reenactments. These were taped at the Center for Virtual Care with the assistance of Program Manager William Hammontree.
In the photo at left, Producer Brent Lerash directs Wiedeman (far right, wearing mask), as Reynolds' father, Willie, and grandmother, Shirlee Roby, look on. Precious is on the hospital bed. Wiedeman diagnosed Precious and continues to guide her care. Children's Hospital Assistant Professor of Pediatric Critical-Care Medicine Theresa Murdock-Vlautin also was interviewed for the program.

Electronic Arts names Andrew Wilson as new CEO
Electronic Arts on Tuesday promoted longtime executive Andrew Wilson to take over as CEO of the video game publishing giant.
Wilson, a native of Australia who joined EA in 2000, takes over a post that has been vacant since March, when former CEO John Riccitiello resigned amid disappointing financial results.
Wilson was the executive vice president who oversaw the Redwood City company's successful EA Sports division, along with its online portal for digital games and services.
"I am convinced that Andrew was an inspired choice by our board, and one I expect the team at EA will enthusiastically support," Executive Chairman and acting CEO Larry Probst said in a blog post. "Andrew is the first studio executive to serve as our CEO, a testament to his blend of creative skills and business acumen. He is a compelling and charismatic communicator who cares deeply about organizational development, teams, and the individual careers of people who work for EA. Most of all, he has a powerful sense of respect for and commitment to our consumers."
This has been a tough year for EA, which has undergone layoffs and months of uncertainty while the company searched for a new executive. The industry as a whole is weathering the transition to mobile devices and anticipating a boost later this year from two major new home video game consoles.
And EA didn't win over customer's hearts with the technically flawed launch of the highly anticipated reboot of its iconic "Sim City" game in April.
In a blog post of his own, Wilson said his three goals were to work toward the "continued transformation for our digital future, delivering amazing games and services across platforms and instilling a culture of execution that will drive profitable growth.
"It's my passion for our people and the great products we all impact that gives me such excitement for our future," he wrote.
He also called EA's current strategy "sound," and that "our focus on our talent, our brands and our platform together with our investment in next-generation consoles, mobile and PC free-to-play, as part of our ongoing transition to digital, is right."
But he said there was "plenty of work ahead."
"I envision EA as the world's greatest games company. This is not about what we are aiming for or what we will become. Rather, it is about an unfaltering commitment to what we will be every day. This is an attitude that must drive our culture as one team," he said.

7 Ways to Get Unstuck

Brain hiccups. We all get a case of them now and then. For some they are fleeting and all a person has to do is to take a deep breath, visualize their departure, and poof! They're gone. Not so easy for the rest of us. If I counted up the moments I spent trying to escape the broken record of my thoughts, it would be – no kidding – at least a decade of my life. Here are some techniques I've been using lately to catch the cycle of nonsense and return to the moment, or, more realistically, at least be able to engage in what I'm doing enough to fool everyone that I'm really paying attention and not running numbers in my head.

Facial aging include the loss of midface volume, jowling, development of nasal labial fold, wrinkling, laxity in the neck region and loose skin. Patient with the above appearance who would like to have improvement to the facial appearance would benefit from face and neck lift surgery, be it full face lift or short scar face lift (MACS). Face lift surgery can minimise the effects of ageing by smoothing out lines and wrinkles and tightening up loose skin on the face and neck.
Lip augmentation is most commonly performed with injectable filler that are non-permanent and will need to be repeated on a regular basis. The use of a soft silicone implant (permalip) improve the volume with a single surgical procedure. Patient will no longer required regular injection to replenish the filler and if the patient is unhappy with the implant, it can be easily removed with a short procedure with minimal residue effect.
Patients who dislike certain features of their nose can have it reshaped with either an open or close rhinoplasty procedure. The surgery can altered the shape of the nose but there is limitation to the degree of changes and your surgeon can explain all to you.
Besides natural thin lips, aging leads to bony resorption and facial volume loss. Lip augmentation can improve the peri-oral appearance and increase lip volume. While the use of hyaluronic acid injection (filler) is the most common method, other technique using fat injection and lip implant are also available.
Facial rejuvenation is very individualized. That's why it's important to discuss your hopes and expectations with a certified plastic surgeon who has experience with many different types of surgical and non-surgical facial procedures.
With ageing, the upper eyelid skin becomes more lax and droopy (dermatochalasis) and in the worst scenario, it can obstruct vision. The lower eyelid can have a baggy appearance due to skin and underlying tissue weakness. This required surgical intervention where the excess skin and fat are removed and the underlying structure tightened.
The position of the eyebrow descends with age and can produce an appearance of tiredness or sadness. Re-positioning of the brow at a slightly higher position can produce a younger and fresher look. Before you proceed, you should always compare your brow position currently with old photographs.
The lack of the anti-helical fold and prominent "concha" are the cause of prominent ears and patients dislike the protrusion appearance. This can be corrected through an incision at the back of the ear and the curvatures of the ear altered using sutures. Patients are required to wear bandage at night for approximately 6 weeks.
The lack of tarsal fold is common among orientals and this is known as single eyelid. The change into double eyelid required surgical intervention to create a tarsal crease. This is best performed with the incisional method (cutting) but some patients are suitable for the suturing technique (non-cutting).
Chin reduction / Augmentation is an effective way of dealing with the common problem of a receding chin or a prominent chin. It can greatly improve the profile of a person by making noses and overbites appear smaller and leave the face better proportioned, giving an overall balanced effect.
Cheek Augmentation / Cheek Implants is a common procedure used to bring balance to the facial structure by way of correcting a deficient cheek area due to congenital deficiency, age-related bone resorption or facial trauma…
There are unique facial features in all ethnic groups and even within Asian/Oriental. Alteration of these ethnic features is best carried out by physicians that understand and appreciate the requirement of patients.
Breast asymmetry is a common condition but when it becomes an issue, surgery is a good method in improving the symmetry between the two side using a combination of techniques. After examination, your surgeon can give you advice according to your physique and your preference.
Male breast (gynaecomastia) is a common condition that can cause embarrassment and provided there is no underlying medical issue, the gynaecomastia can be corrected with liposuction and glandular excision leaving minimal scarring. In the more advance cases, some skin excision may be necessary.
Wide local excision or mastectomy leave deformity and asymmetry between the two breasts and surgery can be useful in improving the different by introducing addition skin and soft tissue from other part of the body or the use of implant and surgical techniques to reshape the breasts to improve the cosmetic appearance. The surgery can be carried out at the time of the breast surgery (immediate) or on a later date (delayed).
Large breasts (macromastia) can cause back and shoulder pain, postural changes and skin infection. Breast reduction surgery involved excision of the breast tissue and skin and at the same time, improve the shape and nipple position by the uplifting effect from the reduction surgery.
The lost of skin elasticity, breast volume and gravitational changes lead to ptotic changes of the breast where the shape become less projecting and the position of the nipple become lower. Breast lifting surgery improves the projection and nipple position by excising the excess skin and tightening of the breast tissue. It can be combined with breast augmentation at the same time to improve the volume loss.
Breast volume can be increased by using silicone or saline implant and in special cases, the use of a person fatty tissue from elsewhere. Silicone implant is still the most commonly used and your surgeon can clarify the different options during consultation.
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has transformed implant based breast reconstruction and even in certain cases of aesthetic breast surgery. It provides additional inferior support for the implant and tissue and acts as an internal bra…
Mini-abdominoplasty are for patient who has some lower abdominal excess skin but insufficient for a full abdominoplasty and may have abdominal bulging from childbirth and muscle weakness. The lower abdominal scar is usually shorter and there is no scar around the umbilicus.
Abdominoplasty is the operation of choice when there is excess skin in the lower abdomen in addition to fatty tissue or when the midline muscles need to be repair to reduce the bulging.
Liposuction is the treatment of choice for excess fatty tissue deposition in the thigh region. However, with increase in age and large volume reduction, the excess skin on the medial aspect of the thigh will be unsightly. The excess skin will need to be removed by surgery and will either leave a scar along the groin crease or along the length of the thigh.
Patient who successfully loss a significant amount of weight is to be applauded but in many cases, they are left with excess laxed skin that needed to be removed to improve the cosmetic appearance. These surgeries include circumferential body lift, abdominoplasty, arm lift, breast uplift and so forth. A detail consultation will help with the planning and the type of surgery best suited to the patient.
Male breast (gynaecomastia) is a common condition that can cause embarrassment and provided there is no underlying medical issue, the gynaecomastia can be corrected with liposuction and glandular excision leaving minimal scarring. In the more advance cases, some skin excision may be necessary.
Liposuction and liposculpturing are techniques used to remove excess stubborn fat from area that persist despite dieting and exercising. They are not the solution to weight loss. There are many machines that have been advertise but the result is more dependent on the surgeon rather than the machine.
This is extremely troublesome for patients both socially and physically with recurrent skin infection and unable to buy clothing. The treatment of choice is to have a circumferential body lift…
The relaxation of the suspensory ligaments with age and massive weight loss lead to the appearance of ptotic upper arm tissue (Bingo wing). This can be treated by a combination of liposuction and skin excision.
Accidental avulsion of earrings or heavy earrings can lead to partial or complete splitting of the earlobe. This can be repaired with a minor surgical treatment under local anaesthetic leaving relatively minimal scarring. It is important to realize the repair will take time to strengthen and therefore, immediate re-piercing is not recommended.
Thickened and widened scars can lead to an unsightly appearance and occasionally a tight band limiting movement. Scar revision usually required the excision of the old scar and allowing the wound healing process to start afreash. This provide a second chance for the scar to heal in a better controlled environment. Unfortunately, scarring is permanent and can never be completely eliminated.
Most skin lesions such as moles, skin tags and cysts are non-cancerous. You may be concerned of some changes such as colour or size or simply dislike the appearance.
The lack of the anti-helical fold and prominent "concha" are the cause of prominent ears and patients dislike the protrusion appearance. This can be corrected through an incision at the back of the ear and the curvatures of the ear altered using sutures. Patients are required to wear bandage at night for approximately 6 weeks.
Our product is a patented protein mix derived from Umbilical Cord Lining Extract. It consists of the full complement of proteins that are generated by umbilical cord lining cells, creating a perfect media for skin health. The formulation does not contain any cells or cell particles.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural ground substance found in human tissue and provides the integrity of skin and underlying tissue. It is now the most commonly used substance in what is commonly known as "filler" to replace lost volume in the facial area, correction of minor deformity and augmentation of specific features such as nasal bridge and chin.
Thread lifts are a relatively new form of non-surgical face lift. If your face has loosening or sagging skin and you want a tighter, fresher more youthful look, this treatment may be suitable. There are no cuts or incisions, just injections.
Botulinum toxin injection into the facial area will paralyse the specific muscle of facial expression leading to relaxation and reduction in wrinkles with time. This is a non-permanent treatment and will require repeat treatments. Botulinum toxin can also be used for muscle reduction as in face slimming or calf reduction.
Massive weight loss surgery has become a common procedures carried out by surgeons to help people to has not been successful with standard dietary and exercise regimes. It encompasses different operations with the goal of losing significant amount of weight.
Once the target weight is achieved, many patients are left with excess skin in different part of their body including empty breasts, ptotic buttocks and loose abdominial pannus. Besides causing emotional distress to the patients, the loose skin can lead to friction abrasion, recurrent infection. Plastic Surgery can help with removal of the excess skin and reposition the tissue to the appropriate position. Even though the surgery employ standard principle for abdominoplasty, mastopexy, arm and thigh lift, special attention is required with the alteration in tissue quality. In addition, patients are advised such surgery should only take place when their weight has been stabalised for at least 1 year. In patients who had bypass surgery or stomach reduction, it is important to investigate their nutrient level which may affect their healing process.
The Plastic Surgical part of massive weight loss surgery is an entity on its own encompassing all the above procedures. Patient who have successfully lost weight have excess skin around the body and loss of subcutaneous fat around the facial region. The excess skin can be removed and subcutaneous tissue repositioned with surgery. A thorough consultation is mandatory to discuss the pros and cons of treatment. Some patients will require a sequence of surgery therefore, it is important to plan carefully in advance for the health and safety of the patient.

Scott warns of devastating ports shutdown; Dems pivot to Obamacare, education
Gov. Rick Scott called for Pres. Obama to take emergency measures to halt an impending shut down of the nation's ports stemming from a labor dispute.
Joined by the state's ports directors on a conference call on Thursday, Scott said the shut down of ports throughout the state of Florida would lead to unacceptable job losses and economic turmoil.
"We are together on this call today for one reason – we must help the Florida families whose jobs and livelihoods depend on our Florida ports," Scott said. "A shut down of Florida ports is simply not an option for Florida families."
Scott wrote a letter to Obama last week asking for the president to invoke presidential powers to halt a strike by the International Longshoremen's Association. He said he "hoped" the president had read the letter, indicating that Obama had not yet responded.
The national strike is scheduled to go forward on Saturday if there is no agreement for a new contract. It could have a multimillion-dollar impact in Florida, where the massive port of Miami is located.
A top Democrat in the Florida Legislature was quick to react to Scott's mention of "families," pivoting to other state issues that affect families—namely, healthcare and education.
House Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Plantation, blasted the governor's move to intervene in the labor dispute while other state issues linger.
"President Obama will determine what is best regarding the looming strike at the nation's East Coast ports," said Thurston, in a statement that asked Scott to focus on implementing healthcare reform and addressing education issues. "Governor Scott can turn his attention to Florida and begin correcting all that he has managed to dismantle."
Scott's press release and the response release from Thurston are below:

It's an ever-continuing debate: what is better, a graphical user interface, or a command-line interface? Graphical user interfaces may be easier to learn, but complicated operations may require a lot more user input than with a command line interface, which can perform several complicated operations by using a short sequence of words and characters. However, a CLI has a much steeper learning curve than a GUI. Google has always had a certain CLI-quality to it, and Stefan Grothkopp decided to take this a few steps further: say hello to Goosh.

You know the drill. It's often a tv spot, or as they say these days because tv is so passé, "a film." But there's also the more quick and dirty website version of the same idea, just embedded in a stand alone site instead of on Youtube.
If it's a website though, it must be a mysterious website. One must ask "from what teenaged bedroom where did this thing come from?" At least for the first two minutes. And then you realize it's too overproduced to be anything other than the usual stuff from an ad agency with too much time on its hands and a yearning to get on FWA.
It would be helpful if said website begins with a song. It doesn't have to be of someone singing, though it can also have someone playing instruments.
Whether it's a site or a "film," the someone in question must always be a slightly eccentric character spokesman who is more often than not, talking to camera.
Oh and the dialogue should be wacky. Because that's fresh. And people haven't heard enough wacky dialogue in advertising.
If it is a mysterious website it would be good to offer the viewer/user simple choices in an effort to get them to engage with the site. Choices like "yes" or "no" or "skip." Easy choices. Second grade choices.
Behold! The formula for success! The formula that we should stick a fork in and turn over, once and for all, because it is officially done.
This is true of the The Thanksgiver. and anything that will come after it.
If we do that, then we'll all be thankful. Promise.
