Finding Help For High Blood Pressure ImpotenceThere are many causes for impotence in men so men who are experiencing this problem should seek help to determine what the cause is. Often men will experience impotence as a result of certain high blood pressure medications. Because of the sensitive nature of the subject, many men will leave off the medication instead of consulting their physician. This could lead to a life threatening stroke and is strongly discouraged.
If you have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, and impotence has recently become a problem, it would be in your best interest to consult your doctor and tell him your symptoms. The chances are high that your doctor can change your medication to one that you can better tolerate. In any case you should always continue your medication until you have a chance to talk to your doctor. The dangers of high blood pressure should never be taken lightly.
Blood pressure medications are often considered diuretics since they work by reducing the amount of fluid that is retained by the body. As many as 25-50% of men who take diuretics for high blood pressure experience some degree of impotence. The men who usually experience a problem are usually the men who are experiencing a higher degree of blood pressure problems. The higher dose medications are the normal culprits when it comes to high blood pressure impotence. Quite often your doctor can change you to another type medication that tends to have less impotence side effects.
Drug Types And Their EffectsBeta-blockers and diuretics are most often the culprits when high blood pressure impotence problems arise. These drugs decrease the amount of blood flow which can cause sufficient lack of blood flow needed for an erection. Angiotensin receptor blockers are known to be effective in treating high blood pressure without decreasing the blood flow needed for an erection. Ace inhibitors are also useful in the treatment of high blood pressure but do not cause high blood pressure impotence.
Men who are suffering from high blood pressure impotence need not feel the need to skip their medication or suffer in silence. High blood pressure is a dangerous condition which can be controlled and managed effectively with diet modifications and medications. With the wide variety of drugs on the market today you and your doctor should be able to find one that is suitable for you without suffering the indignity of high blood pressure impotence. The key is to communicate your concerns with your doctor. Together you and your doctor should be able to find an acceptable solution that addresses all of your concerns and maintains a healthy blood pressure, which in turn can add years to your life.

- 14 February 2017Hail during the Summer of 2016
A terrible hailstorm hit Pic St Loup in the afternoon of Wednesday 17th of August.
First of all, we had to think about all our wine growing friends who also suffered this dreadful and desperate time, having an entire year's work ruined in 30 minutes, after ten days of the harvest ….
The vineyard of the Mas Bruguiere is split into two parts, with one islet of 10 hectares at the gates of the commune de Lauret that was ravaged by hail, but a second 10 hectares islet set between the Hortus cliffs and the Pic St Loup that was spared. This was a great comfort and motivator, because the 2016 vintage is a great vintage, and we have been able to cosset the grapes that were spared.
At the moment, they are maturing very well, and we'll be delighted to present them as a 2016 vintage, which will be small in quantity but FANTASTIC in quality!
We'd like to thank you, for your calls and your messages, which were a real support for us.
Thank you for your loyalty.
- 4 January 2017"Le Septième 2014"
Not produced since the 2009 vintage, the Cuvee Le Septieme forms part of the 2014 vintage, available from the cellar and on site in 75 cc and 150 cc bottles

Boat engines come in an wide variety, but the standard three options are outboards, inboards, and stern drives. Each type has its own unique personality that you should consider before purchasing a new vessel. Knowing more about each design can help you be a more informed consumer and buy the boat that is best for you.
Outboard motors are the most common design. These motors are hooked into the transom of the boat, and the engine, propulsion system, and trim are all in one self-contained design. This is one of their chief advantages: should an outboard break or need repair, they are much easier to access and replace than the other two kinds of engines. Maintenance is easier and they work fine in both salt and freshwater. Another advantage is that they can be tilted up, allowing you to easily access shallow areas or dock the boat on a beach. They do produce quite a bit of wake, making them less ideal for skiing, and they are more exposed to the elements as well. All in all though, outboards are a great choice for anyone looking for a multi-purpose boat. They are typically found on fishing boats, skiffs, pontoon boats, jon boats, and runarounds.
Inboard motors are typically found on ski boats. Manufacturers like Mastercraft, Nautique, and Moomba all use inboard motors. This type of design gives a boat an engine almost like a sports car. They accelerate extremely fast and can turn easier than the other designs. The engine is usually seated under a covering in the middle of the boat, with the propeller attached to a long drive train underneath the boat. The rudder is controlled separately, which creates a better turning radius and improved handling as compared to outboards or stern drives. Engine access is simple, making them easy to work on, but they are expensive, so maintenance costs can be prohibitive. I would not recommend them for saltwater, as the high-performance engines can corrode easily. If you are looking for a boat that is great for watersports, then this is the kind to buy.
Stern drives, sometimes called inboard outboard motors, are a hydrid design, mixing features of both the others. The motor is located inside of the boat, at the stern. A small steering and propulsion piece sticks out from the back of the transom that looks very much like the bottom half of an outboard. Stern drives are often found on deck boats, larger fishing boats, or on simple runarounds. They handle very differently from the other two and it takes some getting used to. They are cheaper than inboard boats and the motor is better protected from the weather than on an outboard, but actually working on it is a huge hassle. As a general rule of thumb, I would not recommend this design unless you see one for a great price or are looking for a dedicated offshore fishing vessel. The engines are generally inferior to inboard ones and the heavy weight so low in the stern makes the bow ride very high unti you get up on plane.

The Age article is based on a report issued by Virgin Car Insurance and is typically motorist focussed using variables such as tolls parking fees etc to compile its rankings. It concluded Sydney was the most 'motorist unfriendly' capital city.
Disappointingly for Canberra motorists, the report concluded that Canberra was the most expensive capital city to buy petrol in, has the most expensive car registration and, the highest rate of car theft.
Virgin concluded in its report that livability is based on how easy it is to drive your car around saying:
- "Sydney may be well regarded as one of the world's most liveable cities, but that's certainly not the case for those who own a car."
- "Skyrocketing costs when it comes to tolls, parking and fines means more pain for Sydney drivers.
- "The cost of running a car in Sydney is undoubtedly putting pressure on the family budget and may well be starting to push people off the road"
If the cost of running a car is causing people to investigate public transport, that can be viewed as a good thing. I don't think that punishing motorists is the right way to encourage public transport use, but in Sydney and Canberra we see the bizarre case where motorists are punished financially, yet there is no real increase in public transport use.
The only proven way to reduce road congestion is to offer proper mass transit public transport linking employment and population centres. If there is no alternative, people will drive.

When studios take several years to prepare the next chapter in a successful franchise, the resulting films are often considered underwhelming disappointments (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Scream 4 are two examples). So, when word first broke that Universal was prepping a fourth big-screen American Pie film, some fans were understandably skeptical. Even with the full original cast signed to return, could American Reunion recapture the magic that made the 1999 original one of the defining comedies of a generation?
As it turns out, the film did turn out to be a return to form for the series (read our review) and managed a tidy profit earlier this year, with a $233.6 million worldwide box office haul. That's not the kind of cash Hollywood tends to ignore – even if 75 percent of it was derived from overseas grosses – so it's no surprise that talk American Pie 5 has already started.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has already secured a production deal to develop the as-yet-untitled American Pie 5 with American Reunion writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg - who also helmed 2008's Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
No plot details are available just yet, and there's no confirmation if the entire cast would return again. However, all four theatrical films have focused – in varying degrees – on the relationship between Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). So it's likely that a potential fifth film would continue to explore that. American Divorce, perhaps? Kidding, that would be a hard comedy sell.
While American Reunion proved that the cast is just as likable and charismatic as always, its tagline – "Save the best piece for last" – seemed to indicate that the film would serve as a book-end to the series, especially since it contained many references and connections to the original film. The last thing fans want to see is the franchise tumble back into the direct-to-DVD dreck that defined it for the last decade, but perhaps Hurwitz and Schlossberg can keep this Pie fresh for a while longer.
Are you ready for a fifth film, or was American Reunion the perfect sendoff for the franchise? Let us know in the comments.

Can Spidey ever hope to defeat the dangerous Dr. Octopus? In this 1977 SPIDER-MAN newspaper strip installment, he's still on the ropes in his mile-a-minute gamble against the not-so-good doctor! Sure, Doc's the Web-Slinger's most dangerous foe (how many other super-villains can toss a Volkswagon, for heaven's sake?), but Spidey's no slouch, either! Take special note of the stellar art! Great figure work, pacing, action, and backgrounds! Another rare look (only here!) at the full-color strips by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr.! Click to enlarge!

FOOMin' in the UK?! 1975 Marvel Fan Club Ad! Iron Man! Stan Lee!
Dig this nice-lookin' 1975 ad for the famous Marvel fan club outfit, FOOM (Friends Of Ol' Marvel)! Fans saw tons of FOOM ads in the mid-70s in Marvel mags aplenty! The difference? This ad appeared in the UK Marvel comic books in the land of Big Ben and tea and crumpets! The designer still managed to use "Jaunty" Jim Steranko's superhero graphics (from the 1973 FOOM give-away poster), as well as a swell image of IRON MAN, making this look much like its US counterpart ads! Looks like you got the same "goodies" in your subscription kit, also! Somehow, the Marvel magic as peddled by Stan Lee and the bashful Bullpen just didn't translate the same across the pond, but the 70s did see a plethora of Marvel titles published there for a good period, from reprints to new material!

Aurora Oddities! Superman! Batman! Hulk! Model Kit Madness! Marvel Comics!
Get a load of these oddball images and oddities from the days of Aurora figure model kits! First up is a rare and wonderful comic book and magazine ad for the 1964 SUPERMAN kit (then 98 cents)! With art by Supe's long-time artist Curt Swan himself! Next we see the ultra-rare 1967 Penguin kit, expertly assembled by a fan! This kit was never reproduced in later re-issue waves, possibly due to the likeness rights of Burgess Meredith, the TV Pengy from the 1966 BATMAN TV show! After that, we glom a 1975 catalog ad for the re-issued "Comic Scenes" kits of Supes, Batman, Spidey, and Hulk, at now-low prices! Even built, these kits command a hefty price today! Click each to enlarge!
BONUS! Look below to see the planned (and hyped) glow-in-the-dark Superman Luminator kit! Planned for a early-90s release, this kit never made it to market, but did see the light of day in this ad flyer and prototype kit!
|Thanks to George E. Warner for the above scan!
|Thanks to Frank Bonilla for the above scan!
BONUS BONUS! Below is the original comic art (by the great Gil Kane) for Aurora's "Comic Scenes" re-issue of the Tonto kit, from the mid-70s! Wow!

Recalling the 1979 CBS-TV CAPTAIN AMERICA! Reb Brown! Marvel Comics!
Sure, last week was officially "Captain America" week here at the blog, but with ol' Cap tearing things up at the box office, and the recent cable re-running of the 1979 CAP TV films, let's take a moment to recall those very same much-anticipated (in my house, at least) CBS 70s tele-films! Sure, TV writers then took a boatload of liberties (get it?) with the comics properties then, but ya gotta admit, actor Reb Brown did a great job personifying the good Captain! Reb portrayed a more mellow and easy-going, post-Watergate 70s-kinda Cap, complete with TV-added Evel Knievel trappings, to boot! They even came very close to a spot-on rendition of the famous costume (at least by the 2nd installment)! Click to enlarge these rare images from the two 1979 CAPTAIN AMERICA TV movies, and keep 'em flyin'!
BONUS! Below are two French CAP posters, produced to hype the film in those overseas markets!

The Bifurcated Behemoth Know as--the Bi-Beast?! 1979 Full-Color HULK Artwork by Albert Bigley?! Marvel Comics?!
You read right. The Incredible Hulk once fought an oversized foe who was tagged with the unfortunate title, "Bi-Beast." The idea was that this poor soul sported two heads, and ones that were always at odds, to boot. But, the big bi-headed brute made for some interesting visuals, so here is my own fabulous rendering of the behemoth grabbing his mismatched opponent! I used colored pencils to add a variety of haunting hues to this mini-masterpiece (drawn by me at age 14, in 1979), and had just discovered using straight-edged drawing tools to make nice and smooth lines, so...Yeah.

The Live-Action WONDER WOMAN You Never Saw! DC Comics!
Direct from a recent issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, here is a good eyeful of the now-never-to-be new TV WONDER WOMAN! Sure, bits and pieces of pics and video are all over the internet, and the show will probably be picked up someplace, but, for now, this is our best look at WW (as embodied by Adrianne Palicki) and her controversial costume! Hardcore fans hated the "bike pants" look, and modifications were soon made, but dig the fairly traditional take on this long-time comics character! But, could she have made anyone forget the previous TV WW, Lynda Carter?! Click to enlarge!

Mike Zeck CAPTAIN AMERICA Original Comic Art! Fan Sketch! Marvel Comics!
What long-time comics fan doesn't recall Mike Zeck's marvelous run on CAPTAIN AMERICA (roughly from issues 258-289)? Some of the best CAP tales of all time appeared during this early-80s period, with scripts by J.M.DeMatteis, and featuring a long list of colorful super-villains! Below is a fan commission of the ol' shield-slinger himself, by mighty Mike! Zeck was able to imbue a real feeling of weight, power, duty, and grace in Cap, and this sketch (for Cap collector Ben Herman) is a perfect example! Click to enlarge!

CAPTAIN AMERICA'S BICENTENNIAL BATTLES! Original 1976 Cover Art! Jack Kirby! Marvel!
One of the strangest projects to emerge from Jack Kirby's mid-70s return to Marvel was the oversized tabloid comic, CAPTAIN AMERICA'S BICENTENNIAL BATLES! In this odd tale, Cap ricochets around the past, meeting historical figures from every significant era of American history! What made it most notable, tho, was that Jack pencilled this huge extravaganza, but inks were provided by a host of comicdom's finest, like John Romita Sr, Barry Smith, Herb Trimpe, and others! This made for a truly one-of-a-kind look at Jack's work as interpreted by other artists, since Jack had a very small stable of inkers he used exclusively then! A real oddball treat! Below is the original art for the memorable cover of this fun and light piece of Marvel madness! Click to enlarge!
BONUS! Look below for a re-colored version of this cover, used to front a recent re-printing of this colossal comic!

Gene Colan Draws CAPTAIN AMERICA! With Bugs Bunny?! Pluto?! Marvel Comics!
Take a glance at this fabulous and funny Gene Colan pencil drawing! Done as a commissioned piece for a frantic fan, we get to see Gene's matchless mastery of shading, lighting, and--humor? Sure, he's drawn the swingin' superheroes many times, but when was the last time you saw Gene "the Dean" depict such Disney darlings like Pluto? Bugs Bunny from the Warner Brothers stable, home of Cap's Daring Competition?! Then, Gene throws good ol' Howard the Duck in for good measure! Gene did have a long stint on both the HOWARD comic, and the ill-fated HTD newspaper comic-strip! Click to enlarge!

Wonderful! This is the actual iron-on transfer sheet for the colorful 1966 CAPTAIN AMERICA design! This piece of vintage Marvelmania is based on Jack "King" Kirby's original Cap artwork (see below, right), and isn't quite as perfect as Jack's powerful rendering, but it's darned close! Iron-ready images of Spidey and the rampaging Hulk were also made available around this time! From an era where little Marvel merchandise was available, this musta been a real treat to own and proudly wear, as you boldly faced front! Click to enlarge!

A Loving Portrait of Mr. Jim Wilson and--THE HULK?! 1978 Albert Bigley Art?! Marvel Comics!?
Ahh, what's better than a break from the usual mile-high mayhem here on this site, than a nice, quiet, and simple portrait of a young man and his dear friend? Here is a staid and sober pencil drawing done by me, at age 13 (1978), of the ever-Incredible Hulk, in a tender clinch with long-time pal, Jim Wilson. Feel the serious and tranquil vibes emanating from this peaceful, but heavy, scene of brotherhood and sincerity. Jim was then a major supporting player in the HULK comic, one of the few African-American characters, and would later even be revealed to be a relative of Sam Wilson (The Falcon)! One of the few folks Hulk could call his friend in those turbulent days! Click to enlarge and relax!

Claws of THE CAT! Rare 1972 Wally Wood Character Art! 1972 Marvel Comics!
Wow! Here is artist Wally Wood's character design sketch for the then-new and groundbreaking super-heroine, THE CAT! Wally drew this around 1972, for the debut issue of Marvel's female feline fury, and reportedly even drew her nude (hence the carefully-placed white-out and touch-ups on the art)! Notice that Wood came up with a new design that didn't lean too much on previous cat-characters such as Catwoman, or various jungle queens! The Cat was one of many attempts by Marvel to bring forth a captivating she-hero such as later attempts like Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, and others! Altho the Cat didn't fare well, she was to hang around the sidelines, in typical Marvel fashion, later to return as the tiger-striped Tigra, the were-woman! Marvel never wasted an interesting character then! FUN FACT: This series had tons of girl power behind it, with Linda Fite providing the script, and Marie Severin on interior art duties!

AVENGERS # 41! John Buscema Original Comic Art! Marvel Comics!
Terrific! That's the only word to describe this fantastic cover art to 1967's AVENGERS # 41! Talk about a crowded cover scene! But, only "Big" John Buscema could make such a potentially confusing situation fun, readable, and enticing! Drawn during one of the first (of many) big shake-ups in the Avengers line-up, and featuring the usual cast of a thousand extras and supporting players, this era is best remembered for the odd line of attacking super-foes, the trials and tribulations of Giant-Man, and the introduction of Hercules (from the THOR comic) to the already overtaxed and oversized group! Click to enlarge, Marvel fan!

Batman! In the Burbs?! 1977 Albert Bigley Art?! DC Comics?!
Hoo boy. Using a technique I had only tried twice, here is the Dark Knight himself, the Batman, standing triumphantly among the crime-ridden dark streets of the--suburbs of North Carolina?! Yep, I wanted to meld my drawings with some actual photos, such as I had seen on a few comic covers then, using some "real" backgrounds, but in 1977, before the internet and such, all I had were a few issues of WOMAN'S DAY magazine (thanks, Mom!) and the local NC newspaper. So, my Neal Adams-inspired Caped Crusader gets to pose in front of some random houses that were up for sale then. Perhaps I shoulda used SOUTHERN LIVING magazine, instead? Sigh. Click to enlarge.

Many DUI charges result from a blood alcohol content test to analyze his or her BAC level. This test is used to analyze the percentage of alcohol in the person's bloodstream. When it comes to challenging your DUI and OVI charge, you should call on the assistance of an experienced and dedicated Dayton DUI defense lawyer. It is important to have professional representation as you fight for a favorable outcome to your case.
Schedule a free case evaluation with our team to get started!
An alcohol blood test may also be used to see exactly how much alcohol was in the driver's system. After only minutes of consuming an alcoholic drink, the ethanol has already made its way to the blood stream and been absorbed. At about an hour after drinking, the highest reading will be reached.
If you have been asked to submit to a blood test, the police cannot force you if you refuse. However, under implied consent law, you could be penalized for your refusal. If you do choose to take the test, a medical professional will be in charge of administering the test. After placing an elastic band around your upper arm, a needle will be placed into a vein in your arm. After collecting enough blood in a tube, it is sent to a lab where it is tested for ethanol.
Although blood alcohol tests are usually accurate, errors can occur while it is being administered, tested, and analyzed. If you believe that there was a mistake in your case, contact a lawyer from Gounaris Abboud, LPA for strong defense. An experienced DUI/OVI lawyer in Dayton can examine every aspect of your case and seek to get your charges dropped.
Contact our firm today for assistance in your case.

Duct Cleaning and what we do.
Over time, dust and debris will collect in your heating ducts and create an unhealthy environment when your furnace fires up in the winter, spreading these dust particles through the air. Dust is created by human skin and hair shedding, pet debris, fibres from carpets, clothes and bedding that eventually end up in your heating ducts. A thorough duct cleaning by our certified technicians will remove dust and debris, pet hair, paper clips, children's toys and whatever else might collect down there. Quite often we pull up chunks of drywall, screws, nails, sawdust and small pieces of plywood, that reduce the quality of airflow and make your furnace work harder.
We physically clean every duct in your house sending a 200 PSI reverse high pressure air whip through the top of each register right down into the main trunk. We wear protective covers over our footwear to prevent tracking in dirt to your home. We also provide a comprehensive cleaning of your furnace including the fan blower, heat exchanger, and we can replace your furnace filter and test your furnace after we're done upon request. Be sure to tell us prior to our visit the model, size of your furnace filter so what we can have one in stock.
Our Mission professional duct cleaning services will;
- provide you with better indoor air quality.
- reduce the presence of allergens and dust mites.
- result in more airflow and better delivery of warm air.
- improve the efficiency of your furnace.
- reduce energy costs.
We will be happy to give you a quote for our residential duct cleaning services. Give us a phone call or fill out our convenient request form on our website.

Hugo Wull, called Big Bucket, is the clan chief of House Wull in the North.[1] He has the biggest belly in the mountains and the most men.
Recent Events
A Dance with Dragons
He along with several other mountain clans swear allegiance to Stannis Baratheon when he marches to free Deepwood Motte from House Greyjoy. He becomes one of Stannis's commanders and joins him when he marches on Winterfell.
Quotes by Hugo
Hugo Wull: Lord Pea Pod. If you were a man, I would kill you for that, but my sword is made of too fine a steel to besmirch with craven's blood. Aye, men are dying. More will die before we see Winterfell. What of it? This is war. Men die in war. That is as it should be. As it has always been.
Corliss Penny: Do you want to die, Wull?
Hugo Wull: I want to live forever in a land where summer lasts a thousand years. I want a castle in the clouds where I can look down over the world. I want to be six-and-twenty again. When I was six-and-twenty I could fight all day and fuck all night. What men want does not matter. Winter is almost upon us, boy. And winter is death. I would sooner my men die fighting for the Ned's little girl than alone and hungry in the snow, weeping tears that freeze upon their cheeks. No one sings songs of men who die like that. As for me, I am old. This will be my last winter. Let me bathe in Bolton blood before I die. I want to feel it spatter across my face when my axe bites deep into a Bolton skull. I want to lick it off my lips and die with the taste of it on my tongue.[2]

The airwaves in some regions were being cleared between late 2012 and mid 2013 to make way for 4G mobile broadband services. Freeview services are having to move frequencies as a result.
The clearance programme mostly affected regions that went through digital switchover prior to 2011, plus parts of the Central, STV Central and Meridian regions. Archived for reference purposes, you'll find dates, details and background information about the changes. London and Northern Ireland viewers were not affected by the clearance programme.

Heat Check
Heat preparing for draft as usual – just don't ask Spo about it
I didn't mean for it to come out this way, but I asked Erik Spoelstra the wrong question Thursday morning at shoot around.
The exchange went like this:
I know you have a scouting department that prepares for the draft, but when do you get involved in watching film or the evaluation process? After the season?
"Wrong question, Manny," Spoelstra fired back with a bit of a smile on his face. "Not a chance, pal. No way. I've got enough film watching this group and trying to find solutions. We have a very deep staff and I know they're at work. But I'm not thinking along those lines at all."
Spoelstra, who has moved further up the food chain in the Heat organization and is more than just a coach (he's one of the five heads Pat Riley considers the Heat brain trust), obviously doesn't want to give anyone any idea his focus is on anything beyond this season.
I know he hasn't. Spoelstra is the last guy who ever would.
But the thing is a lot of people outside the organization don't think the Heat is going anywhere but the lottery when the regular season ends, and while Spoelstra won't get involved in any draft talk until after the season (I'm firm on this now), fans should know other guys in the organization are hard at work preparing for it as usual.
General manager Andy Elisburg said Riley has already been to a couple college basketball games during a tournament at Madison Square Garden earlier this season. Riley has always attended college games during March Madness and at various points throughout the season.
So, is the Heat doing even more homework than usual for this year's draft considering the franchise has already traded it's 2018 first round pick away as part of the Goran Dragic deal and sorely needs to hit a home run in the upcoming draft? Not necessarily, Elisburg said.
"To some extent you approach it the same every year," Elisburg said. "You never know where you can get into the draft. So at some level you have to prepare every year for all paths. When you have a pick – and you have a higher pick – you may then do a little bit more homework, do more things, or put a little more focus at a specific spot when you get closer to the draft.
"At this point in time, though, you're scouting everybody. You're seeing everybody for the draft because these players are entering the NBA and they can become future players, which means future trades or future free agents. You're beginning a file on them. So you've seen them at the beginning. Maybe once they've been in the league three or four years, you remember them as a freshman in college and chart the growth they've had in three or four years. So, it's an ongoing process."
Elisburg said the Heat's scouting department and Riley work together throughout the season. Usually, Elisburg said, Chet Kammerer, vice president of player personnel, and assistant general manager, Andy Simon, will identify games for Riley to go watch and he goes.
"Pat will also watch on Synergy [a player tracking system] and look at things throughout the year," Elisburg said. "Erik obviously focuses on the team and the game right now. Usually for the head coach, during the season, you have enough to deal with. After the season he'll get up to speed on where things are."
In the end, though, Riley will go through all recommendations and make the final call on whom the Heat drafts, Elisburg said.
And it doesn't matter if the point guard position is loaded, he adds.
"I think we've always looked at the draft as the best available, best talent for the team, the best players you can get," he said. "If you're drafting a player for their career, some are going to have a career of 10 to 12 years. Your needs will change over that period of time. You try to find who is the best player. At the end of the day, you try to find the best player you can."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) The 40 girls and 40 boys moved in orderly fashion from the driving range to the chipping area to the putting green in their age groups.
At Augusta National, it was precision unlike any other.
The latest tradition at the Masters is the Drive, Chip and Putt national finals, with winners from eight age groups posing with Danny Willett, Bubba Watson, Nick Faldo, Mark O'Meara and other Masters champions.
Alexa Pano, already the first three-time finalist, became the first two-winner when the 12-year-old from Lake Worth, Florida, won the girls 12-13 division.
It was yet another reminder why Sunday at the Masters is unlike any other majors.
Kids ages 7 to 15 were putting on the 18th green. Jordan Spieth headed out to play with his father. Matt Kuchar took a break from his putting drill to watch Andy Scholz hole out his chip, which led to the first roar of the week at 8:03 a.m.
And the stress was at a minimum.
Except for Watson, the two-time Masters champion who had a serious game to play against former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, among the first female member at Augusta National.
''She's not talking very much to me, so I think she was getting focused on this match, because two years in a row losing, she's not happy about that,'' he said.
Danny Willett arrived on Saturday and was seen at the club wearing his green jacket for the first time since his surprise victory last year, when he rallied with a 5-under 67 and took advantage of Spieth shooting 41 on the back nine.
The green jacket has been plenty of other places, such as snooker competitions in Britain and even a few weeks ago when he hosted the ''Wee Willetts,'' his own program near Yorkshire where nearly 100 kids play nine holes over three courses during their summer holidays.
''As soon as you walk in the room, you see smiles from ear to ear,'' Willett said.
The Masters will turn serious at some point. It is the most anticipated major of the year, mainly because of traditions, the exclusivity of the field (94 players) and perks that include an invitation for life and a seat at dinner with the Masters Club on Tuesday night.
Willett, as the defending champion, is the host this year.
''There's going to be some true legends there, and to be in that room is going to be pretty special,'' Willett said. ''That's when you start to realize you get to do that the rest of your life.''
Mostly, however, Sunday was about the kids.
Augusta National was behind the program that began in 2014 with the USGA and PGA of America, where kids from around the country go through qualifying and earn points based on how driving distance and accuracy, chipping and putting.
Finalists from eight regions face off at Augusta National.
''Can you imagine how cool it is going off to qualify and then go to Augusta National? I can't imagine the excitement for these youngsters,'' Nick Faldo said. ''Most people's goal is just to get a ticket. To actually come here and compete is fantastic.''
Others were at Augusta to get ready.
That included Spieth, who had not planned to be at the Masters until after the Houston Open, except that he missed the cut for the first time in 11 months. Spieth has been back plenty of time since his runner-up finish a year ago, most recently playing with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Showing up early never was in Faldo's plans when he was winning the green jacket three times. Now it's all changed. Players have been dropping in and out of Augusta for the last month to get a look at the course, which will be largely devoid of color this year because of warm weather that caused the azaleas and dogwoods to bloom early.
''We never did this modern-day prep, which I would strongly advised,'' Faldo said. ''The best thing to do is come here and play. We came in cold. I came in the gates for the first time in 1979 and I'll never forget it. There was a sign that said, `Keep off the grass.' I thought, `This is going to be trick this week.
''I was in awe of the place,'' Faldo said. ''I couldn't handle it the first time around.''
He eventually figured it out.

Midland Fasken Oil adding 39 units to The Vineyard
MIDLAND – The 39-unit second phase of The Vineyard development will be located on 7.212 acres west of the Holiday Hill Rd. and Green Tree Blvd. intersection. Construction starts during summer 2014 and finish in 2015.
Fasken Oil and Ranch Ltd. will develop the luxury complex, which will be comprised of nine two-story buildings only holding at most six units, and an ample 128-space parking lot
The Vineyard is a master-planned, mixed-use development by Fasken that includes space for single-family homes, apartments, office space, parks, retail and an elementary school.
Fasken previously developed The Vineyard's 176-unit Sandstone Ridge complex, and both complexes will be for rent to the public, not just exclusively for Fasken employees.
Construction of The Vineyard began in 2010 with the development of Fasken's corporate headquarters. Construction is already underway for two office buildings, one of which will be occupied by SM Energy Co.
Barbara Fasken Elementary, a 92,000-sf campus that will accommodate 800 students, will be in construction in the near future, said Arthur Zuniga, real estate development manager for Fasken.

I was lucky enough to be part of the recent BITC Annual Responsible Business Gala at the O2 Arena in London, and one theme absolutely shone out of the event: human-centric innovation.
As Duncan Tait said in his opening speech at the awards ceremony, digital technology is a powerful force for good. But only if we – technologists and businesspeople alike – approach it responsibly.
It's about winning the right way. You can't ignore tomorrow's problems while making today's profits, and the buzz and enthusiasm I saw from the future leaders who attended the event made me confident that message has well and truly caught on.
Here are some of the most exciting things I saw throughout the day…
The Innovation Zone
Our Megatrends set out six global challenges that need to be addressed in order to sustain life on planet Earth, all of which will be hugely impacted by technology.
That is what our innovation zone was about: showing how digital technology can address broader social and environmental challenges such as a population that is both growing and ageing, scarce resources and climate change.
Take food production, for example, and our now-famous 'connected cow', which uses sensors to monitor bovine behaviour in real time and helps farmers boost the efficiency of livestock farming through analytical insight.
And what about wearable tech? Real-time monitoring devices that can reduce the risk of car accidents or help the elderly gain greater independence by monitoring health in real time.
This technology can also support people who are working in the field, using augmented reality and remote video assistance to share expert knowledge more effectively. Particularly when it comes to building and maintaining critical infrastructure such as energy, water or communications, these innovations will be crucial to keeping our society running.
Then there's the Internet of Things (IOT), and its ability to provide early insight into elements like water temperature and air quality, enabling a faster and better-informed reaction to impending challenges.
All of this technology displayed in our Innovation Zone has the power to help overcome the challenges I mentioned above.
What was most inspiring for me, however, was seeing the excitement of the young attendees as they went from stand to stand and experienced each of these ideas. It was inspirational to get their views on the technology and how it could be used to address the global Megatrends.
If the future leaders of our businesses already understand and appreciate the good technology can achieve in the world beyond simply turning a profit, I think we have a good chance of tackling these issues.
Inspired by technology
As day progressed to night, the theme of human-centric innovation as a force for good certainly showed no signs of slowing.
If you haven't seen Jason Bradbury ride onto a stage on a hoverboard then frankly you haven't lived (he also began his presenting duties as an iPad on a stick – yes, you read that right).
On a serious note, though, one of the presenters, Sophie Morgan, a paraplegic, actually walked on stage to present an award with the help of a pair of bionic legs. Jason Bradbury described her as 'a walking example of technology changing our lives'. I couldn't agree more.
We also saw a powerful 360-degree virtual reality experience, which showed the audience the destruction of the world's rainforests and how quickly and completely it's happening. I thought this was a great example of technology being used to bring an issue to life in a more powerful way than would otherwise be possible.
Here's to a responsible future
A huge congratulations to the winners in every category, and also the highly commended entries. You are all living proof that companies can, and are, taking responsible business seriously and have the power to change our world for the better. So thank you.
But the ultimate prize of the night went to Veolia, a company that has invested £1m on training apprentices and will have invested £1bn total in the UK by 2018, indirectly creating around 28,000 jobs and £2.8bn in economic activity.
Not to mention 30% of its board are women and it delivers 300 apprenticeships every year (10% of which are to marginalised groups).
And with that, I'll leave you once again with the words of Duncan Tait:
"Our aim is to inspire the next generation of responsible business leadership, grow this movement, and define responsible business in a digital age."
From what I saw at this year's gala, it's fair to say that aim was achieved.
Check out the live blog for much more insight from the night.

I had flooring put in my house this past weekend and was amazed at all that happened. The installers called ahead and were there when they said they would be, very polite, thorough, finished quickly (I was expecting it to take twice as long as it did) and did more than I expected with the trim.
Very professional and I highly recommend them to anyone. If you have doubts about how the job will turn out, don't hesitate to use 50 Floor. It was a very pleasant outcome for me.
My neighbor had flooring put down by SOMEONE ELSE and the outcome was NOT what I would want. I am very happy with 50 floors!
Product or Service Mentioned: Fifty Floor Flooring Installation.

Pastoral Appellation Brunch
February 26, 2016 by Allison
It was a leisurely Friday, and I was walking around the Block Thirty Seven shops, chatting with my mom on the phone. We were talking about mundane things when I came across a store with adorable graphic tees, home goods, and stationery.
How cute, I thought, wasting time. Then something caught my eye. It was a mannequin donning a graphic tee with the phrase, "Brunch so hard, mimosa wanna find me."
"Oh my God, Mom, I gotta go." And hung up the phone.
I rushed into the pop up for The Trendy Sparrow, a Chicago lifestyle and fashion blog, and clothing brand created by Chicago local Lindzi Shanks. The Bitches stalk The Trendy Sparrow's Instagram, so I was excited for this serendipitous moment.
After connecting with Lindzi at the shop, and subsequently sending copious amounts of emails, we all decided a business brunch was in order—what better way to plan future collaborations than over cocktails and French toast?
It just so happened that one of our friends and a total honorary Bitch, Rachel, had been wanting us to try the new brunch at Pastoral Appellation and is a big fan of The Trendy Sparrow as well. Coincidence or fate?
Alexis had a chance to go to the opening of Pastoral Appellation in November and raved about the meats, cheeses, and wine she sampled, so I knew the brunch was going to be excellent.
Pastoral Appellation is located in the quaint and quiet Andersonville neighborhood. Every time I venture up to Andersonville, I am stunned by how quickly the neighborhood keeps changing for the better. This summer, I vow to head there to browse the cute antique stores.
Once we all arrived, the four of us chatted about our websites—how Lindzi started The Trendy Sparrow clothing line, and everything in between. Lindzi is jovial and kind, with a Texas accent that charms. But when it comes to her business sense and willpower, she is a force to reckon with.
All that chatting made us parched, so we ordered coffees and cocktails. Rachel and I opted for the hot coffee, while Alexis ordered a cappuccino, and Lindzi ordered a latte. The coffee used at Appellation is called Counter Culture, and let me tell you, it was balanced, bold, and delicious. There were many refills on my end.
Cocktails were next. Rachel, Alexis, and I went for the standard Bloody Mary, while Lindzi, in the vein of, "brunch so hard, mimosa wanna find me," stuck with the classic mimosa. I really liked the blend of spices in the Bloody Mary and Lindzi said that her mimosa was the perfect ratio of OJ and champagne—Appellation has won our Bitch-approval for cocktails!
For the table, we started with some appetizers. The two we chose to split were the ricotta fritters with grapefruit curd and the Arborio rice porridge with poached pears and honeycomb brittle. Both dishes are actually on the menu under sweet entrees for brunch, but the kitchen was kind enough to split the dishes for us.
The porridge arrived in tiny espresso cups—adorable! It was delicious, but what made it so great were the poached pears.
The ricotta fritters were like tiny doughnuts with grapefruit drizzled on top. The tart curd with the sweet fritter was great, but I preferred the porridge to the fritters, hands down.
On to entrees, Lindzi had been eyeing the cornmeal and sage pancakes with orange butter. The orange butter was the best part and tasted like a fresh bite of orange. The pancakes were made using cornmeal, which concerned Lindzi at first, but they tasted amazing. She loved the dish and would order it again.
I opted for the baked French toast with Clock Shadow Creamery goat cheese, cherry preserves, and ginger crème anglaise. While I enjoyed the cherries, the toast itself was not my favorite. It came in a cast-iron skillet, and the bread was a bit dry from the constant heat. I would probably opt for the pancakes next time—they looked delicious!
Rachel hemmed and hawed for a bit and decided on the frittata. The frittata had green onions and melted cheese with potatoes on the side. The potatoes were unbelievable, and I know first hand because I snagged one (or two) from her plate. The frittata was fluffy, and stuffed full of cheese and green onion making it hearty, while still being vegetarian.
Alexis ordered the continental breakfast with grits. The dish arrived on a slate with cheese, bread, butter, jam, and prosciutto. How can you go wrong? The grits on the side were cheesy and creamy—perfectly cooked, according to Alexis. I took her word for it, being that I'm not a big grits fan.
Pastoral's new venture, Appellation, gives us all yet another reason to venture north to Andersonville to enjoy the meats, cheeses, wines, and delicious brunch.
The Bitches say: A. The ambiance, food, staff, and company are what made this spot great.
Pastoral Appellation
5212 N. Clark St.
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 358-7181
Pastoral Appellation serves brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All Issues > Volume 13, Issue 2
Some ingenuous Bible preachers and teachers have tried to expound on the differences between asking, seeking, and knocking. However, all three commands probably mean the same thing. Jesus is simply and repeatedly commanding us to ask, ask, and ask. Are we getting the message? If so, then why does Jesus keep repeating Himself?
Most of us ask God for a thing or two. Yet it may be that He wants us to ask Him for hundreds or thousands of things. Jesus told His apostles: "Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full" (Jn 16:24). The writer of the book of James bluntly stated: "You do not obtain because you do not ask" (Jas 4:2).
Jesus wants us to ask more — not because He won't give without our asking, but because He wants us to communicate with Him more. He calls us to abide in Him (see Jn 15:5, 7), to live in His presence. He does not call us to ask out of selfishness but out of love (Jas 4:3). He wants us to share every detail of our lives with Him. He wants to be our Life (see Phil 1:21; Gal 2:20).
Constantly asking Him means constantly loving Him and living in Him. Ask Love (1 Jn 4:16). Ask Life (Jn 14:6; Jn 11:25). Ask Jesus.

Rian Johnson sure had a lot on his plate taking on The Last Jedi. Forget it being by far his biggest film in scale or budget and the inherent expectations of making a damn Star Wars film. He also had to contend with the growing sense among core fans that J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens, while neatly packaged and presented, was an overly staid, safe retread of A New Hope. The Star Wars backlash was real.
That he's even succeeded in delivering an entry into the beloved canon that fans will even like is a massive accomplishment in itself. That he managed to take some risks along the way – all under the trigger happy, watchful eye of Kathleen Kennedy, no less – is a testament to a fledgling voice in cinema.
Johnson clearly finds joy in bucking the expectations laid out by the series in general, and the last film in particular. Luke isn't how you imagined he'd be, not by a long shot, and as the great, aging Jedi said himself in the trailer: "This is not going to go how you think."
While the film checks expected boxes for a Star Wars film, it also manages to head in directions perhaps unexpected. The heroes don't come together in the easy ways you'd think, instead spending the majority of the film estranged in various precarious situations, and for all the fan obsessing over "Who is Snoke?," well, let's just say that won't go how you expect, either.
As audience members who were very critical of The Force Awakens, we must acknowledge: it's all too easy to get our armchair on and criticize, but imagine actually taking on a film of this nature. Pleasing old fans, making it feel welcoming enough to new ones, keeping it thrilling while sticking to something that won't make Disney executives scratch their heads...it's truly daunting to even consider.
For the first time since the series, for better or worse, was resurrected, we've received a film that manages to pay tribute to the films many of us grew up loving without feeling trite or stale. Old characters – those you'd expect to show their faces, and one you wouldn't – all get their moment, even when they haven't turned out how you wanted, Johnson makes you believe when they've arrived. What's more, he makes you feel it. Carrie Fisher's Leia, in an expanded role from Awakens, is having a blast with the stronger, wizened Organa, and her loss sears more than ever watching. She will be very much missed next time around.
It's not perfect, naturally. BB-8, despite markedly less screen time, receives more over the top moments, verging uncomfortably close to prequel territory in his absurd heroics. On the other hand, as forcefully (pun intended) as they were marketed, the dreaded Porgs have a reasonably understated presence in the film, not bothering even this writer, who felt a fair amount of trepidation about their inclusion. Meanwhile, while you may wonder why Admiral Holdo has purple hair, Laura Dern remains a welcome, deft addition to the cast.
Fellow series newcomer Kelly Marie Tran, as Rose Tico, more than makes her presence felt. Surely the envy of every aspiring actor and actress, she seems to have lept from relative obscurity to superstardom in a single bound, but she makes for the most valuable addition to Star Wars since Finn. An Asian – female, no less – heroine is past due for a film of this size, and she makes the most of every moment of her screen time, instantly joining the running for the most likable character hailing from the new trilogy with her journey from nameless maintenance worker to hero in The Last Jedi.
It must be repeated: for a series already known for playing it safe, Rian Johnson has succeeded in taking more narrative and stylistic gambles than arguably any Disney-Marvel film to date, let alone the new Star Wars entries. As the kind of kid who lost most of his young social life the moment his uncle gifted him the original trilogy on VHS at five years old, even this writer was pleased. Not overwhelmed, perhaps, but at its best, it gives those good ol' Star Wars goosebumps. It's a shame Han missed out on this one.

This afternoon there will be a teach-in on sanctuary at the University of Denver from 2-4 in Sie 1020 (the forum) at which ten measures, some of which have been adopted by the administration, others which we are still discussing with the administration will be explored. Last quarter, our group had large marches to meet with the administration last quarter, participated in big, public gatherings to protect immigrants under threat, and engaged a variety of negotiations with the administration and meetings to discuss how to achieve protections on campus. The teach-in tomorrow is our major public gathering of this quarter.
The courageous Jeanette Vizguerra who has taken sanctuary at the United Universalist Church downtown will Skype in for a 15 minute talk. There will then be a panel of 5 students who are immigrants, a question and answer period, and a talk by a DU Law Professor.
The threat to immigrants is linked, as we just saw with the celebration of the "death to poor and elderly Americans, funnel money to the ultrarich" Act in the House. To treat any of us as less than human, as Martin Niemoller suggested in his famous poem, is to treat all of us as less than human. To put everyone of us at risk. Fighting back against brutality toward immigrants – what the ICE-Nazis and private prisons (Geo Group and Corrections Corporation of American), unleashed by Trump, do – is something that we all have a democratic interest in doing.

DNA methylation patterns are altered in numerous diseases and often correlate with clinically relevant information such as disease subtypes, prognosis and drug response. With suitable assays and after validation in large cohorts, such associations can be exploited for clinical diagnostics and personalized treatment decisions. Here we describe the results of a community-wide benchmarking study comparing the performance of all widely used methods for DNA methylation analysis that are compatible with routine clinical use. We shipped 32 reference samples to 18 laboratories in seven different countries. Researchers in those laboratories collectively contributed 21 locus-specific assays for an average of 27 predefined genomic regions, as well as six global assays. We evaluated assay sensitivity on low-input samples and assessed the assays' ability to discriminate between cell types. Good agreement was observed across all tested methods, with amplicon bisulfite sequencing and bisulfite pyrosequencing showing the best all-round performance. Our technology comparison can inform the selection, optimization and use of DNA methylation assays in large-scale validation studies, biomarker development and clinical diagnostics.

Good place to eat, have a beer and stay overnight. Easy in and out, level with full hookups, including 50 amp. This is the type of out of the way place we love. There is a saloon on site that is operated, by by the owner. The menu was simple, fairly priced and the food was good. Home made French fries at $1.50! Even if you do not stay, it is worth stopping for the fries. I had a chicken fried steak sandwich at $6.00 That was also very good. After having visited a bunch of busy tourist locations, like Keystone, the prices and quiet here was real nice. - ahmavic

If you're looking for a place to pull in for the night, this is it! Nothing fancy, but excellent full hookups at a very cheap rate. Good water and great electric, plus sewer. We found this place by accident. The location of Alzada is the closest I can place it, as it is not actually in the town. It is on Highway 212 about three miles from the border in SE Montana, and sits on a big, bare lot with the saloon. The RV spaces are off to the side of the saloon. The folks in the saloon were very friendly. It offers a 'fast food' style menu. - Travelin' Harrells

Travel is something we all look forward to. It is a break in the monotony of every day life. It is a chance to relax and live stress free for a week or two, away from work and all responsibilities. Here is some advice for the next time you go on vacation.
Before travelling, make sure you check the projected weather for your destination. You don't want to be stuck with nothing but winter clothes during a heat wave or only shorts and tank-tops during a blizzard. Purchasing new clothing while on vacation may not only be expensive, but you might not have room in your luggage to take everything home with you!
Use carry-on luggage. Most airlines now charge extra to check a bag. So, to avoid this cost, try to fit everything into a carry-on bag, if possible. Even if your airline is one of the few that doesn't charge to check a bag, you may still want to avoid checking a bag. In a move to cut costs, many airlines have reduced the number of employees who handle baggage, making for a much longer wait at the baggage claim.
Remember to pack liquids in plastic bags. Packing liquids in your luggage can lead to disaster. No one wants to open their luggage and find it filled with spilled shampoo and mouthwash. To prevent such a calamity entirely, remember to pack all liquids in ziplock bags. Make sure to seal the bags properly.
Travel Booking Sites
Make your travel plans more affordable by booking your flight through a meta-search site. It can be tempting to get your tickets from a website whose purpose is to locate cheap airfare, but a meta-search site looks through a variety of airlines and travel booking sites at the same time. It will then redirect you to the site that has the price you want, saving you money.
Travel Deals
Check out last minute travel deals. If you have the flexibility in schedule and destination, you can save a lot of money by booking your travel at the last minute. Many hotels and airlines drastically reduce prices for dates in the near future to fill seats and rooms that will otherwise go empty.
Always continue to search for travel deals on hotels and car rentals, even after you have secured your reservation. These companies often drop prices significantly to make sure their inventory is used, so keep looking. Make sure that you understand the cancellation policy before you try to switch out your room or car.
Travel Guide
When you are travelling to a new location it is necessary to gather as much information as possible beforehand. It is no longer necessary to purchase a travel guide (although these are very useful when on location). There is a wealth of information available for free on the Internet. You will especially want to research the hotels that you will stay in.
Taking a trip is something that is always fun because it is a new place and a new experience. Oftentimes, it is a vacation from work or from our kids. With the right amount of money and a little bit of research, you can have the best trip of your life and hopefully, this article provided the knowledge. Now you just have to get the cash.…

Fulfilling a promise laid out by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, Michael Collins, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon and back. The 2019 $1 American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Silver Coin celebrates the 50th anniversary of this incredible feat and giant leap forward in the history of mankind. The coin bears a face value of $1 guaranteed by the United States federal government. It contains .8595 Troy ounces of .999 pure silver. Apollo 11 was an eight-day mission that sent three men from NASA to the moon and returned them safely to planet Earth. The astronauts took off from Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16, 1969. The crew included command module pilot Michael Collins, lunar lander pilot Buzz Aldrin, and mission commander Neil Armstrong. On the obverse of the 2019 $1 Proof American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Silver Coin is the image of an astronauts footprint on the surface of the moon. The words Mercury, Gemini, Apollo are engraved along the top rim with the four main phases of the moon depicted. Other engravings include In God We Trust, Liberty, and the W mint mark of the West Point Mint. The reverse side of 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Silver Coins features the image of Neil Armstrong, the lunar lander nicknamed Eagle, and the American flag all reflected in the visor of Buzz Aldrin. This design is based on an actual photograph of the same visual taken on the surface of the moon in July 1969. These Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Coins from the US Mint are curved specimens. The obverse side has a concave, sunken surface, while the reverse features a convex, domed surface.ASTRONAUT SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATIONThis coin's sales benefit the astronaut scholarship foundation. The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's mission is to aid the United States in retaining its world leadership in technology and innovation by supporting the very best and brightest scholars in science, technology, engineering and mathematics while commemorating the legacy of America's pioneering astronauts.

Mint state coins are struck using the same process as everyday currency, while proof coins are struck using a highly polished planchet. This gives proof coins a mirrored background with a frosted foreground. Mint state coins have the same matte finish as circulated currency, albeit without the wear and flaws.

Yes, we do ship Internationally! Shipped coin will match selected options, which may not necessarily match pictured coin.

We appreciate your business and look forward to helping you bring home a piece of history!

I had lunch at FirstWatch today. Every time I eat there, I end up asking myself, "Why don't I eat here more often?" The food is tasty and appears to be healthy. The people are friendly and their service is generally pretty fast. Today was a little different. It took us over five minutes to be acknowledged. Then once we were greeted, we had a wait time of another ten minutes. Something I would have been okay with if there hadn't been five open tables clearly visible. Okay, so maybe they're a little short staffed today.
Two other groups of people came in behind us. No one was acknowledging them, so after awhile, I greeted them, added them to the waiting list, and told them it would be about 10 minutes. They offered to tip me, but I politely declined. When we were being seated, I pointed to the last guy I put on the list and asked him to take over my hosting responsibility. He kindly agreed.
When our waitress took our orders, I asked for a large glass of water. My one consistent complaint with FirstWatch is they serve their water in little shot-glass-sized cups. My larger glass never came. I know, they're a little short staffed today.
There were four of us for lunch. Two meals came first (of course, mine was not one of them). Then a few minutes later the other two came. The food was good as usual. This was the first time I did not ask, "How come I don't eat here more often?"
When I was paying my bill, the cashier asked, "Was everything alright?"
I gave my best Larry David impersonation and responded, "Eh. You guys were a little off your game today."
Without skipping a beat he handed me back my money and said, "Then today is on me."
ME: "It wasn't that bad. I'll pay for my meal."
HIM: "No, sir. If you aren't satisfied, it's on us."
ME: "I appreciated that. But I had a good meal, and this is a fair price for it. Normally, I'm very pleased when I come in here, and today you were clearly understaffed. It wasn't the same experience I normally get, but it won't stop me from coming back. It's fair that I should pay."
He reluctantly took my money and apologized once again for today's worse than usual service. What really impressed me was how responsive he was to my honest evaluation of the experience. Best of all, he gave me a quick reminder lesson in how to recover from less than standard service.
- Asked how my experience was and really cared about my answer.
- Was empowered to make me happy.
- Acted quickly.
- Sincerely apologized.
What's the best example of customer service recovery you've experienced?
