This invention relates generally to the field of insoles, and midsole constructions which may be caused to conform to the foot of the wearer.
Many individuals, and in particular many athletes, possess serious podiatric conditions and thus require the manufacture of prescription orthotics. But many of the problems commonly encountered stem from inadequate conformance, support and stability. Here, the midsole or insole of the shoe often prove inadequate. Every individual has a different set of feet. The problem to be solved: How to accomodate individual differences and thus provide superior conformance, stability and comfort in a mass produced article of footwear?
There have been a number of attempted solutions to this problem which have enjoyed varied success. Obvious merits aside, some of the deficiencies of the prior art will be briefly addressed.
As mentioned above, orthotics are sometimes required to correct serious podiatric conditions. For some individuals there is no practical alternative. But orthotics take considerable time for a specialist to fabricate and are thus relatively expensive. They are neither a viable practical alternative, nor truly necessary for the general public. Moreover, many orthotic devices are rigid and do not permit adequate flexion of the arch(es). Orthotics are seldom fixed within the shoe in a manner that would prevent their slipping about. Such movement produces discomfort for the wearer and partially nullifies the corrective value of the orthotic. Furthermore, the insertion of an orthotic device will often change the conforming properties of the last of the shoe resulting in poor fit and discomfort.
Pre-formed insoles of various kinds accomodate a greater, or lesser number of individuals depending upon the incorporation of characteristic norms in their design. But as every individual has a different set of feet, a pre-formed insole will not accomodate every individual to the same degree.
There have been a number of attempts to introduce deformable, or elastomeric materials into the midsole, or insole of an article of footwear so as to provide a "custom" fit for any given individual. The present invention would fall into this category. Some of the prior art designs have proven inadequate because of improper design, or application. For example, reference is made to foot supports which are made of elastomeric material(s) and which underlie the entire foot (in particular, the area forward of the metatarsals). In the practical application such would induce serious biomechanical complications.
Reference is also made to attempts to introduce such quantity of elastomeric material(s) as to alter the foot's proper conformance with the last of the shoe.
In addition, some inventors have wanted for suitable elastomeric materials that would set to the desired consistency during a convenient time period. Others, possessing such materials, have not adequately dealt with the problem posed by exothermic (heat producing) reactions. Few inventors have made an attempt to accomodate the flexion of the arch(es), and many have suggested means that have proven largely impracticable. And few inventors have thought to provide a means of construction and adhesion that would permit easy removal and replacement of an accomodative device.
There have also been a number of ideas as to how to introduce and contain elastomeric material(s) within an article of footwear. Many have thought to inject the material by various means, whereas others have thought to otherwise contain, or enclose the same. The procedures and methods to be associated with these attempts have for the most part been relatively complex, time consuming, expensive, or otherwise not amenable to mass production and use by the general public. In fact, it is perceived that these shortcomings are responsible for the failure of the leading manufacturers of footwear to incorporate a midsole construction, or insert employing elastomeric material(s).
Accordingly, the present invention includes a method and apparatus for conforming to and supporting a foot. An apparatus of the present invention includes a footwear insert suitable for inserting into an article of footwear and conforming to and supporting a foot, including a pliable casing forming an inner volume; and a resilient material contained within the casing and displacing a portion of the inner volume, wherein a void is formed within the casing and the void and the resilient material are suitable for conforming to and supporting the foot when the insert is suitably positioned within the article of footwear.
In a preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, the insert underlies the arch of the foot and extends from the heel to just short of the metatarsal heads of the foot.
In preferred embodiments the resilient material referred to above includes an elastomer. Also, preferably, the elastomer is a two-part polyurethane.
In addition, in preferred embodiments the casing is larger than the resilient material such that a void is formed wherein the void is suitable for positioning proximate to the arch of the foot atop the resilient material. The void assists in conforming to and supporting the foot.
Preferred embodiments also include a wedge suitable for supporting the heel of the foot.
The present invention also includes a footwear insert including:
(a) a pliable casing defining first and second bags;
(b) a pin operatively connected to the casing separating the first and second bags, and selectively preventing fluid communication therebetween;
(c) a first reagent contained within the first bag; and
(d) a second reagent contained within the second bag, wherein when the pin is removed from operative contact with the casing the first and second bags are placed in fluid communication and the first and second reagents mix to form a resilient material suitable for conforming to and supporting the foot.
Preferred embodiments of such a footwear insert include the various features listed above.
The present invention also includes a method for supporting a foot. The method includes the following steps:
(a) selecting an article of footwear suitable for containing and underlying the foot;
(b) selecting a pliable casing;
(c) separating the pliable casing into first and second bags so that the first and second bags are not in fluid communication with each other;
(d) placing a first reagent within the first bag;
(e) placing a second reagent within the second bag;
(f) placing the first and second bags in fluid communication to thereby allow said reagents to mix to form a composition;
(g) positioning the composition contained within the casing within the article of footwear; and
(h) positioning the foot within the article of footwear while allowing the composition to cure to form a resilient composition suitable for conforming to and supporting the foot.
Preferably, the method of the present invention includes forming a void within the casing wherein the void is suitable for positioning proximate to the arch of the foot and conforming to and supporting the foot. That is, the casing is preferably larger than the resilient material so as to form a void wherein the void naturally rises to the top portion of the casing and is suitable for cushioning the arch of the foot.

Referring to the figures, wherein like reference numerals represent like parts throughout the several views, a preferred insert 20 is shown in its original state in FIG. 1. The insert 20 is preferably composed of a clear pliable polyethylene outer casing 22 approximately ten mils in thickness enabling the status of is contents to be plainly seen. Generally, the casing 22 should be a durable material able to withstand the pressure of a person's body weight being placed upon its contents prior to setting.
The preferred polyethylene casing 22 is heat/pressure sealed using conventional techniques so as to render the insert 20 a completely self-enclosed unit. Within the insert 20 is preferably a two-part composition. A restraining pin 24 initially separates the two reagents 27a, 27b. Each reagent is contained within a separate bag 26a, 26b, one reagent 27a being stored in bag 26a and one reagent 27b being stored in bag 26b. When the restraining pin 24 is removed the bags 26a, 26b are placed in fluid communication and the reagents 27a, 27b are free to interact within the larger polyethylene casing 22. The low viscosity of the reagents facilitates their proper mixture.
The preferred elastomeric material or composition which is initially stored as two separate components 27a, 27b in bags 26a and 26b is a two-part resilient polyurethane, "UR-2152" a product of the H. B. Fuller Company, although other two-part elastomers are contemplated. One reagent or component 27a is a resin and may be stored initially in bag 26a; the other reagent 27b is a curing agent and may be stored in bag 26b.
Further with regard to the preferred two-part elastomer, the setting time of the reagents and hardness of the final composition 41 (see FIG. 5) should be selected according to certain criteria. A setting time of approximately ten minutes at room temperature is generally sufficient for the completion of necessary procedures described below. The hardness of the cured composition 41 should preferably not be less than that of the midsole material commonly being employed by the leading manufacturers of athletic shoes. This is normally in the range of 40-60 Shore D.
Thus the cured composition 41 is resilient, acting to absorb shock and conform to the wearer's foot. One reason that polyurethane is preferred is that the exothermic reaction which typically accompanies the curing process is not severe and the heat generated during reaction stays within tolerable bounds. The working temperature of "UR-2151" is between 65°-120° F. It should also be noted that the insert 20 preferably underlies the insole proper which serves to insulate the wearer's foot from the exothermic reaction.
The other material being employed within the midsole construction or insert 20 is an entrapped gas, preferably air. The quantity of reagents 27a, 27b and entrapped air introduced within the bags 26a, 26b can be regulated during production. Any entrapped air naturally rises to the highest point(s) within the insert 20. This will invariably correspond to the apex of the arch(es) 34 once the insert 20 is activated, inserted into an article of footwear 44 and deformed in conformance with the wearer's foot. This entrapped air "cushion" 40 (see FIG. 5) within the insert 20 accomodates the dynamic movement of the arch(es) in the precise area where such movement occurs. It may be desirable to introduce a reinforced, or specially designed chamber (not shown) within the midsole construction, or insert 20 to ensure the proper containment of the entrapped air "cushion" 40.
As shown in FIG. 5, insert 20 preferably underlies the plantar side of the foot 28 and extends from the area of the heel 30 to just short of the metatarsal heads 32 thus supporting the arch(es) 34 of the foot 28. Ideally, the insert 20 should be designed in conformance with the last of the shoe 44, or article of footwear in which the application is to be made. The insert 20 will then vary as to both length and width depending upon the size and configuration of the particular application. The amount of elastomeric material present within an insert 20 designed for a given application could be regulated so as to accomodate for differing arch characteristics; e.g. "high," "normal," and "low" arches, or so-called flat feet.
One side of the insert 20 may employ a peel-away protective backing 36 that exposes a self-adhesive surface 38 (see FIG. 3). The adhesive being used at the present time is a "Pressure Sensitive" product of the H. B. Fuller Company. Such an adhesive will permit easy removal and replacement of the insert if ever necessary.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, it would also be possible to introduce corrective "wedges" 42 to accomodate podiatric deviations that would fall outside the norm, e.g., the conditions of pronation, supination, varus, and valgus. These "wedges" 42 could be manufactured to specified degress of correction for the particular article of footwear in which the application would be made. Again, a protective backing (not shown) could be removed from the "wedge" to expose a self-adhesive surface. The introduction of such corrective devices should generally be undertaken with the supervision of a skilled and knowledgeable podiatrist.
The procedure for employing insert 20 can now be described with reference to the Figures. As shown in FIG. 2, the restraining pin 24 is removed to permit the reagents 27a, 27b in bags 26a, 26b to mix freely. The insert 20 is then kneaded as necessary. Mixing is easily accomplished because of the preferred low viscosity of the reagents 27 and can be verified visually. Once the reagents have been thoroughly mixed, the protective strip 36 is removed from the polyethylene bag 22, thus exposing its self-adhesive surface 38. The "activated" insert 20 is then inserted into the article of footwear 44. The insole proper 46, shown in FIG. 4, is then inserted into the article of footwear 44. Most desirable is an insole of SPENCO, or SORBOTHANE, but other like materials would be acceptable provided that they would assume proper continuity. The foot 28 is then inserted into and secured within the article of footwear 44. The two-part elastomer 41 is preferably such that it should be possible to walk upon the shoe 44 for a short time. However, it is important that the wearer stand, or sit relatively motionless as the activated bi-pac insert 20 sets or cures. Under normal conditions at room temperature this will occur between 8-12 minutes after the reagents 27a, 27b have been mixed. For preferred two-part polyurethanes in athletic applications the inventor considers that the insert 20 should set with the wearer maintaining a standing position, the reason being to better accomodate the flexion of the arch(es) 34. But whether the insert 20 be deformed and set in a standing, or sitting position the alignment of the wearer's leg and foot should correspond to the "neutral position" i.e. the lower leg (tibia) should be roughly perpendicular to the surface upon which the article of footwear rests: the knee joint should be directly above the ankle joint and its alignment with respect to the foot should be such that the knee (patella) is in line with the second toe, or middle of the fore-foot. The conditions of pronation, or supination will thus be avoided. FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate standing and sitting neutral positions.
As noted above, it would be possible to correct podiatric conditions by introducing pre-formed "wedges" 42, or devices incorporating the necessary correction in conjunction with the insert 20. These would preferably be suitably affixed to the underside of the bi-pac insert 20 prior to its insertion into an article of footwear 44.

A year ago, Fred's Super Dollar was looking for buyers. Today, Fred's Super Dollar has become the buyer having most recently acquired the specialty pharmacy business EntrustRx.
Fred's last year migrated its more than 300 pharmacies to a more convenient front-of-store position in an effort to boost pharmacy revenue — and it worked. Fred's 2010 pharmacy sales growth of 4.8% outpaced the discounter's overall sales growth of 3% for the year. At the time Fred's began executing against the pharmacy makeover, the company reported that test stores featuring front-of-store pharmacies enjoyed 20% higher sales per square foot as compared with the company's average.

This film is a sex ed film that was meant to both inform and titillate
audiences. However, unlike many exploitation films, this one is a lot
more explicit and actually provides worthwhile information about
sexually transmitted diseases. While it's very, very explicit (with a
lot of nudity for the 1948s--heck, even by today's standards it's
pretty explicit with its many pictures of genitalia), the film is
shocking because it shows, with no holes barred, the effects of
syphilis and gonorrhea--but ignores other STDs. While I have seen such
films before (since I used to teach sex ed), I must admit that these
are among the nastiest and scariest film clips I have ever seen! Yet,
the film shows real lesions and advanced stage infestations--so it is
reasonably accurate despite being so scary and tough to watch.
The narrator talks in a rather monotone and 'square' voice, but his information is essentially correct and not really exploitational. As for the accompanying story that accompanies the sex ed film, it's interesting because the nice doctor in the film also played the same sort of nice doctor in another exploitation film, "Street Corner". This isn't a bad thing, as he (Joseph Crehan) actually was a good actor with over 250 credits to his name! This is unusual for such films, as usually you see only actors who aren't really actors--just folks who are hooked into acting by scum-bag film makers. It's obvious that the film maker for "Because of Eve" was actually pretty accomplished! And, considering the film deals with STDs, abortion, sex, attempted suicide, childbirth and premarital sex in a frank way, it's quite ahead of its time.
Unlike most sex ed/exploitation films of the day, this one is rare in that it still packs information of value and has a lot of impact--not the usual unintended laughs because the film is so poorly made. This doesn't mean that there aren't some cheesy moments but that they just aren't as many and don't detract from the overall message--which isn't to blame people with STDs or have had premarital sex, but to inform.

Alternative Encoding Techniques for Digital Loudspeaker Arrays
Recent developments in Digital Loudspeakers have resulted in the introduction of Digital Transducer Arrays (DTA). In most implementations, DTA loudspeakers are driven by PCM encoded audio signals, usually resampled and requantised to an appropriate number of bits, in accordance to the number of the transducers constituting the DTA topology. However, given that DTAs generally increase harmonic distortion, especially for off-axis listening positions, optimization in signal encoding and bit-to-transducer assignment, is necessary. Here, a number of novel, alternative strategies are examined, concerning the input signal encoding via PCM-to-PWM conversion, as well as techniques for bit-assignment on the transducers of a DTA. These tests are supported by simulation results and comparisons between these alternative methods, for different operating parameters.

Teach Me Tonight...how to make a coherent adult video. The excuse of a story has a ghost in the house. Probably the spirit of bad videos past. There is no attempt to develop a storyline - just give or ten seconds of mumbled and muffled dialogue between the interminable sex scenes. The girls are all attractive but no advantage is made of that. Just a waste from people who have way too much work.

Understanding Vision Problems -- Symptoms
In this article
What Are the Symptoms of Various Vision Problems?
Below are common symptoms associated with each eye problem.
Nearsightedness: Blurred vision that's worse when you are looking at distant objects suggests that you may be nearsighted, or myopic. People with myopia often have very good near vision.
Recommended Related to Eye Health
Understanding Glaucoma -- Prevention
It is not possible to prevent chronic open-angle glaucoma, but early detection and effective treatment will prevent significant damage to the eyes and preserve your sight. All adults need an eye exam that includes tests for glaucoma every three to five years. These tests are usually done by an eye doctor -- either an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. If someone in your family has had glaucoma or if you have other risk factors for glaucoma, your doctor may suggest more frequent eye exams. People...
Read the Understanding Glaucoma -- Prevention article > >
Farsightedness: Blurred vision that's present when you are looking at near objects or, more commonly, near and far objects indicates that you may be farsighted, or hyperopic.
Astigmatism: Blurry vision can occur at any distance and usually coincides with discovery of other vision problems.
Retinal detachment: An abrupt onset of flashing lights, often in combination with black floating spots in your vision, possibly combined with the sensation of a dark curtain or veil blocking a portion of your vision, suggests retinal detachment. Cover each eye separately and compare the sight in each eye.
Color blindness: Difficulty distinguishing shades or intensity of color may suggest a color perception problem. Color vision defects are usually not known to the patient until discovered on testing, and it is mainly a condition in males.
Night blindness: Difficulty distinguishing objects in dim light is a sign of possible night blindness.
Cataracts: Because cataract development is usually a gradual process, your first symptom may be trouble passing the vision test when renewing your driver's license, or it may be identified during a routine eye exam. Symptoms include:
- Hazy vision that might be worse in bright light
- Weaker vision at night; difficulty in discerning movements, details, or objects (especially street signs)
- Blinding or uncomfortable glare from automobile headlights or bright sunlight
- A need for brighter light for reading
- Colors appearing faded or yellowed
- Double or triple vision (overlapping images) in one eye only
- A milky white or opaque appearance to the normally dark pupil (advanced case)
- Painful inflammation and pressure within the eye (very advanced case)
Strabismus: Eyes don't move together in a coordinated pattern or may be crossed inward or outward. Young children with vision problems such as this may rub one or both eyes frequently and may squint, tilt their heads, or close one eye in order to see things better.

Editor's Note: The writer's opinions and observations expressed here are his own, and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views, policies or positions of FLW.
There is a famous quote that is true in most things, but especially in fishing: "Success breeds confidence, and confidence breeds success." You see it time and again when anglers will get in the groove and fish well for several events, a season or several seasons. It's often referred to as being "in the zone" or having momentum.
When any angler has this kind of momentum it becomes easy to make decisions on the water and not second-guess yourself. It gives you the confidence to believe in your instincts and make game-changing decisions without hesitation. Let's face it, fishing is very instinct-driven, and if you can trust those gut feelings and go with them, good things will happen. At the Classic this spring we heard Randy Howell talk about how he was headed for his planned starting spot, and on the ride there he changed his mind, made a U-turn and headed for the spot where he eventually won the event. He had an instinctive gut feeling, and it worked out. Decisions like the one Randy made are easier when you have momentum to give you the confidence to make them.
Last week when I pulled the Chevy and Ranger to Sam Rayburn for the third stop of the 2014 Walmart FLW Tour, I had gone through more than two full seasons of FLW Majors without missing a check. I didn't really think about it, but that is a streak I am proud of, and a lot of it was a result of momentum or being in the zone. I can look back across those 17 events and point out many decisions that I made that changed my outcome in the event. At Sam Rayburn, I was all set to continue the streak, but things didn't go very well this time. For the first time since mid-2011, I missed a check at a Walmart FLW Tour event. Did I lose the momentum? We'll see, but I'm hoping to keep the momentum alive heading into Beaver Lake next week where I can start a new streak, a streak I hope will include more wins.
As a competitor first and fisherman second, I want to win events. It's easier said than done, as the expertise of fishermen continues to curve upward. After all, there is only one winner per event and more than 150 non-winners. So the odds of winning aren't good, but I like the challenge and I am challenging myself right now to get more wins over the next three years.
Just how do I go about fishing to win more? That's the million-dollar question. Do I take more risks? Truth be told, I don't have a formula for how to win more. As I look back over my career and my two FLW victories, the Forrest Wood Cup win and the Bassmaster Classic victory, I don't think I fished any differently than I do now. In fact, I think I'm a better, more well-rounded angler today than when I won any of those events. Things just have to go exactly right for anyone to win.
One thing is for sure, though, it becomes easier to make winning decisions when you have the momentum to drive your confidence level up. With the confidence to make what are sometimes rash decisions based on gut feelings, intuition, instinct and knowledge, I can put myself in position to win more.

text: Drug RashesWhat are drug rashes?Drug rashes are the body's reaction to a certain medicine. The type of rash that happens depends on the drug causing it and a person's response. Drugs have been associated with every type of rash, ranging from mild to life-threatening. The onset of the rash can also vary from immediate to weeks after the drug was first taken.Rashes caused by drugs can be categorized in the following groups:Rashes caused by an allergic reaction to the medicineRashes produced as an unwanted effect of a particular medicineRashes due to hypersensitivity to sunlight caused by the medicineWhat are the different types of rashes caused by drugs?Type of rashSymptomsCauseAcnePimples and red areas that appear most often on the face, shoulders, and chestAnabolic steroids, corticosteroids, bromides, iodides, and phenytoinExfoliative dermatitisRed, scaly skin that may thicken and peel and involve the entire bodyAntibiotics that contain sulfa, barbiturates, isoniazid, penicillins, and phenytoinFixed drug eruptionA dark red or purple rash that reacts at the same siteAntibiotics and phenolphthalein (found in certain laxatives)HivesRaised red bumpsAspirin, certain drug dyes, penicillins, and many other drugsMorbilliform or maculopapular rashA flat, red rash that may include pimples similar to the measlesAntibiotics, antihypertensives, and contrast dye are among more common causative drugs; however, any drug can cause this rashPurpuric eruptionsPurple areas on the skin, often on the legsSome anticoagulants and diureticsStevens-Johnson syndromeBlisters or a hive-like rash on the lining of the mouth, vagina, or penis that can spread all over the bodyAntibiotics that contain sulfa, barbiturates, penicillins, and certain drugs used for seizures and diabetesHow are drug rashes diagnosed?Diagnosing a rash caused by a reaction to medcine is complicated. Even a small amount of a drug can cause a major reaction in the skin. In addition, the reaction can occur even after the patient has taken a medicine for a long time. Your health care provider will usually advise you to stop taking any medicine that is not necessary to sustain your life, to see if the reaction lessens. Other medicines may be substituted, if possible.Treatment for drug rashesThe condition usually clears up if the patient stops taking the medicine that is causing the reaction. Other treatment may include:CorticosteroidsAntihistaminesAllergic reactions can be serious and even fatal. If a rash develops, it is important to immediately contact your health care provider.

Sony NW-A800 Review: Not the Killer Walkman We Wanted

A 26-year-old Timaru woman, who was a pillion passenger, was
airlifted to Dunedin Hospital by the Otago Regional Rescue
Helicopter. She was in a critical condition last night.
A second woman, the sole occupant of the Nissan car, was in a
satisfactory condition in hospital.
One of the men was believed to be from Timaru and the other
from the North Island.
Central Otago police sub area commander Senior Sergeant Ian
Kerrisk said the two men were confirmed dead at the scene.
Emergency services were called to the crash at 2.16pm on
State Highway 8, 19km north of Tarras, near Goodger Rd.
The two men, on Harley-Davidsons, were in a group of
motorcyclists travelling north, while the car driver was
heading south. Some of the motorcyclists had witnessed the
crash and they were interviewed by police at Tarras
yesterday. Victim Support volunteers were on hand to support
those involved, Snr Sgt Kerrisk said.
Fire, police and ambulance personnel from Central Otago and
the Waitaki District attended the crash and the road was
closed for several hours. A single lane was reopened last
Cromwell police last night thanked members of the public who
assisted at the scene, including a group of doctors.
Police are interested in sightings of a dark-coloured Nissan
Pulsar travelling south from Omarama towards Cromwell.
They were also keen to speak to the occupants of a white
station wagon travelling in a line of traffic shortly before
the crash and in the movements of about eight motorcyclists
on Harley-Davidsons who were travelling north towards

Reviews of Damaraland Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Damaraland Camp review
The highlight of this stay for us was the kind attention given to us for our wedding anniversary. We had a lovely surprise in our room before dinner with champagne, candles and snacks left for us; and for dinner we had our own table over by the pool surrounded by lanterns.
The boma dinner on the first night was also very good; we all went out to the boma (aka old cattle pen made of tree branches stuck vertically in the ground) - it was beautifully decorated with lanterns and we ate under the stars.
The drives to see wildlife were long (there are comparatively few animals round here) but rewarding - due to the effort and talent of our guide we got good views of elephants and black rhino - and the landscape is spectacular.

Great flight from Little Kulala over the dunes, old diamond mines, past shipwrecks, seal colonies and flamingos...Wonderful scenery at Damaraland and another excellent guide.
Desert adjusted elephants a great sight. Visit to local village was very worthwhile (and our guide was a Arsenal supporter..my team!) Really enjoyed the hill climb...
Went that extra mile
Well run establishment. The staff throughout were excellent as were the meals, service, tent, guides and accommodation.Read more about the whole safari
Damaraland Camp review
Excellent experience . Include all meals in package is suggested.
Activities were not experienced as we elected to hike around on our own.
Beautiful rooms
Absolutely stunning location with gorgeous room. A real luxury.
The staff were friendly and accomodating.
A small criticism - and I feel almost guilty even mentioning it as there seemed to be other guests that enjoyed it: The staff like to sing. A lot. When you arrive. When you arrive at the sunrise breakfast. When you arrive at the outdoor BBQ. When you leave. It all is a bit too much after the fourth song!
Damaraland Camp review
Arrived at pick up point at 5pm as requested but no vehicle present. Namibian local phoned through to camp. Nothing happened approx 1 hour - told they had problems with the land Rover. Collected 6pm by apologetic Charles, but when arrived at camp told that our pick up had not been arranged by travel agent. This seemed v unlikely as nothing else EA has organised has ever failed. Showed them Sabina's letter and pointed this out. Later apologetic letter with champagne.
Larger camp, quite a few children. Greeted with singing by Namibian staff and ate outside in Boma, more informal, quite fun. In the morning went on game drive to see desert elephants which we found eventually. A bit concerned that in his enthusiasm our driver seemed to drive a bit randomly across the fragile country (we know that in the arid conditions it can take ages to repair damage done by vehicles).
Gave us lunch which I don't think was officially included and drove us back to our car at our convenience. Game drive was a significant additional cost here.
Damaraland Camp review
A perfect place to experience the fabulous Namibian landscape! If you were not interested in geology before you will be when you get here.
Not so many animals but instead I enjoyed the peace and quiet and the opportunites to do some walking. Very refreshing after all the driving on bumpy roads! Visited two local villages which gave a good insight in the conditions of life in this harsh environment.
Damaraland Camp review
Another camp with happy, welcoming, singing staff, led by the wonderful Maggie. Once more we were welcomed with champagne and rose-petals. Nestor was our able and friendly guide who took great care to find things to interest us.
We were ready for a rest after our camping experience and enjoyed the accommodation and outlook. The trackers were successful in finding a rhino with baby, and sensitive, not only for our safety but also for the welfare of the animals when the mother became a little agitated. Most enjoyable.
A delightful surprise evening meal was given to all of us in a lamp-lit secluded area.
An excellent place to stay
This was another highlight of our trip.
The camp is incredibly well-run by Maggie, all the staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and the happiest we came across - they seem to enjoy working at the camp as much as we enjoyed staying there, and they sang to us at every possible occasion !
Tracking desert-adapted elephants with our guide Pasqual was a wonderful experience. Maggie totally surprised us with a dinner in the Boma (she said we were going for an evening walk !) and a sunrise breakfast on a ridge overlooking the desert. Nothing was too much trouble and we would rate this camp as excellent.
Great to return
It was very good to find that some of the staff we met 10 yrs ago were still there & particularly so that Maggy, who was being trained when we last met her, is now the very successful manager. She is still quite a character!
Our drive down the Huab river valley was remarkable for an amazing "Attenborough" elephant experience. We were very close to a complete elephant family behaving just as they were meant to do at water holes & watching the 1 yr old unsuccessfully trying to get up the soft river bank (until he had a push from mum) was hilarious.
Overall Damaraland is a staggering area

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
The creators of the best-selling manga Death Note have reunited for Bakuman, a series about two middle schoolers trying to make it in the manga-publishing world!
Bakuman, Vol. 1
Story by Tsugumi Ohba, art by Takeshi Obata
VIZ, 208 pp.
Rating: Teen
Score: B+
Moritaka Mashiro is bored. For his fourteen years of life he's merely gone along with the flow, a path which is destined to end with him becoming a normal white-collar worker. He doesn't want this, but sees no alternative until Akito Takagi, the top student in class, notices Moritaka's artistic skills and proposes that the two team up to create a manga. Moritaka is resistant at first—he'd much rather loaf around and play video games—but when the object of his affections (and aspiring voice actress), Miho Azuki, agrees to marry him when his manga becomes an anime, he is suddenly unstoppable.
Moritaka expects resistance from his family—after all, his uncle essentially killed himself by trying to become a successful manga artist—but they're surprisingly supportive and it turns out that his uncle's studio has been preserved, untouched, since his death. I absolutely adore the chapter where Moritaka and Akito rush to the studio for the first time—it is seriously a manga-lover's dream. Not only are there plenty of artistic supplies, but there are shelves upon shelves of manga ("for reference") as well as neatly organized boxes of storyboards and final drafts. All of the scenes with the boys working on their story—they decide to submit a final draft for consideration by the end of summer break—are absolutely fascinating and bring home just how grueling creating comics can be.
There are a couple of problematic things about Bakuman, however. Moritaka and Azuki's pledge to get married when they achieve their dreams—without dating in the meantime—is pretty silly, but not out-of-character for a couple of fourteen-year-olds. The fact that they'll be encouraging each other via e-mail, just like Moritaka's uncle was encouraged by letters from his classmate, who just so happens to be Azuki's mother, is a coincidence I could've done without. In general, this whole subplot failed to interest me; I was much more interested in the boys' efforts to get their manga off the ground, but I suppose listless Moritaka needed to find motivation somewhere.
More significantly, many reviewers have taken issue with the displays of sexism in Bakuman. Having now read it for myself, I get the impression that certain characters are sexist but I'd stop short of applying that label to the series as a whole. This makes me wonder, though… why, when characters in Bakuman say things like "She knows by instinct that the best thing for a girl is to get married and become somebody's wife" or "Men have dreams that women will never be able to understand" does it not piss me off as righteously as when characters make very similar comments in The Color Trilogy by Kim Dong Hwa?
I think it depends, for me, on who's saying it. If, as in the case of The Color Trilogy, a male author puts such words into the mouths of female characters, I can't seem to help getting peeved about it. In Bakuman, the speaker of the first line above is Akito—in other words, just an overconfident teen who thinks he knows everything. He goes on to say he doesn't like a particular girl in class because she's proud of how well she does in school, but when Azuki's mother later tells him she doesn't like smart guys, he flails about and says, "But that's just your taste." Perhaps what he earlier presented as deep insight about Azuki was really his own taste coming through. The second line above, about men's dreams, though technically spoken by Moritaka's mother, is actually a quote from his off-camera father and was easy for me to dismiss as, "Oh, he's just an older man with outdated opinions."
I'm not trying to argue that these characters aren't sexist, but they don't succeed in getting my dander up and certainly will not deter me from reading more of the series.
Volume one of Bakuman is available now.
[…] You can find that review here. […]
I think Bakuman's sexism infuriates me so much because this is a series set in contemporary Japan and runs in Shonen Jump (meaning lots of boys *and* girls read it) so I can't even say to myself, "oh well, those attitudes existed during that time period blah blah blah"). I just felt kind of overwhelmed by how the sexism really whittled away at everyday women's agency, independence, identity, etc. (for example, the marriage pledge seems incredibly sexist to me because it view romantic love through this idealistic lens, where god forbid you actually get to *know* the woman you are going to marry beyond the surface…because in that character's mind the surface clearly speaks for the whole. And I don't even care that it is "her" idea in the story, its written by a man who clearly has very deeply held sexist attitudes.)
Yeah. I have a lot of dander to spare over this one. Perhaps because I really think I would have enjoyed the story about two middle school boys who want to become great comic book creators otherwise. After all, I adore the medium myself.
I had the same thoughts about the marriage pledge occurring when neither of them know each other and don't seem poised to rectify that, but the thing is… these are 14-year-old morons! They think this kind of thing is romantic! We grown-ups know that it isn't. I dunno, I guess it could be sending the wrong sort of message to the kids who're reading it, but from my perspective their VAST inexperience made their foolish actions understandable.
For some reason I decided to google more on sexism in Bakuman, because I found the issue somewhat interesting and I'm a masochist like that I guess. I ended up on a forum used by what I hope were bubbly 15 year old kids with a lot of free time. Originally, I was posting because I wanted to share some of the highlights of their discussion, but instead I'd just like to take this time so say I blame you for my brain exploding.
On a completely random other note: I'm not really familiar with Death Note or Hikaru no Go. Am I missing out?
Hahaha. Sorry about the explodey!
I have not actually read the Death Note manga, but I've watched about 2/3 of the anime so far and like it. If you wanted to dabble without investing, the anime (in its entirety) is free, legal, and subtitled on Hulu. For what it's worth, I'm enjoying the anime enough that I plan to go back and read the manga at some point.
Hikaru no Go, which has the same artist but a different writer, is one of my absolute favorite manga. It's the rare manga that's suitable for all ages but doesn't talk down to its audience, and chronicles the Go (a board game) career of its protagonist, Shindo Hikaru, from the time he's in around 6th grade until he becomes a pro (around 9th grade). Over the years, the character designs age with subtlety and you don't even realize they've grown up so much until you happen to catch a glimpse of an earlier volume. I really cannot say enough good things about it. (It looks like the Hikaru no Go anime is also available on Hulu. It follows the manga through vol. 17 (there are 23 total) and does so pretty faithfully.)
So, to answer your question… I don't know whether you're missing out by being unfamiliar with Death Note but I think you definitely are by being unfamiliar with Hikaru no Go.
Yeah, they are 14, but the thing is, they are now 20 where the series is in Japan and they still do not know each other beyond a handful of emails containing a few lines each. It's not like they even write long, deep emails to each other. And they are still planning to get married as soon as their dreams come true. Bleh.
But that is actually one of the things that bugs me least about the manga. I could list all the things that make me feel like this is an author who truly hates women, but it would take me forever (and of course be totally spoilery). It's not just things the characters say, but the entire way the story is constructed and the roles and personalities given to women in it.
It makes me really frustrated and sad because I love the premise of the story and I like a lot of things about it (who would have thought you could have a manga about manga that mimics a battle manga?), and of course Obata's beautiful art, but it is just so frustrating to read.
By the way, since you don't seem to be posting anything to LJ except round ups of links to your blog, and I'm trying to cut down my LJ flist, I think I'm just going to defriend you there and add your blog to Google Reader.

Oh, bleh indeed! I was hoping they'd wise up eventually and realize what a stupid idea it is! I guess I'll just have to wait and see whether the rest of the story irks me, too!
And that's cool re: LJ. Thanks for the heads-up!
Hmm, but you know, having read Death Note I already had a pretty good idea what conservative values the authors must have about women (though I have a lot of respect for the series nonetheless). After reading the shockingly sexist lines in Bakuman I just put it down. It just isn't worth it for me, even if it does have a good story, to have to read stuff like that.
I do like the series and yes, there's sexism. I think it's just a reflection of how the creators may feel about certain things. Like krkr, this is the same duo that did Death Note & Hikaru No Go.
[…] You can find that review here. […]
One thing none of you guys have attempted to address is the reality of these views in contemporary Japan. Japan is still a male dominated society despite advancements in equality for women. "Arranged" marriages without regard of knowing the other partner STILL HAPPEN. My girlfriend is Japanese and her mother recently wanted her to marry a man who owns a successful business…he wanted to have children to carry over his business after he died. She didn't want to do it because she wants to marry a man that she actually loves, not to have his children. Very sexist view, but the fact is, this was initiated by her MOTHER. Point is, it exists and isn't as much sexist as it is traditional (although fastly growing outdated) culture.

2. And then following the text is this totally amazing wedding photo.
4. It even inspired a whole dang hashtag!
5. The only problem is that the text never happened and the couple isn't named Roger and Kirsten.
6. But don't worry! The photo is real. The couple is Amy and Ian and they got married in Detroit last month.
7. Their wedding photographer, Adam Sparkes, told BuzzFeed he watched his photo go viral, but figured it would sort itself out. After Elite Daily ran with it, though, the whole thing completely exploded on Facebook.
8. Sparkes tried to set the record straight in the comments section of Elite Daily but it got buried on Facebook.
9. The real story is that Amy and Ian went to a local abandoned spot in Detroit to shoot some street photos when they stumbled across the rap group 7262 shooting a video…
10. …And then 7262 invited them into the shoot.
11. And it was awesome! You can watch Amy and Ian and their bridal party absolutely crushing it in the video here:
12. So, while the "we still coming" text might have been a hoax, luckily the real story is just as amazing.

Bronson welcomed crowds to its 2nd Annual Blueberry Festival on Saturday, May 14.
The festivities started on Friday with a parade through the town's commercial center.
There's a reason the fundraising bike ride is titled Iron Butts for Bucks. It's no easy task to ride 1,000 miles on a motorcycle in less than 24 hours.
Nevertheless, Brad Groom and Bruce "B.B." Bryant Jr. have completed such rides year after year, with the next one taking place this Friday, May 13. The rides aren't just for fun or to achieve the accomplishment of having completed them. Others pledge contributions and the proceeds benefit area nursing home residents.

"I think it went great," one of the coordinators, Bronson Town Councilwoman Katie Parks said of the event. "We had great help and lots of support from the community. I think the kids had fun too, and that's really what the pageant is about."
This year organizers said there were double the participants in the pageant as there were last year.
On Monday morning, Wild Hog Canoe and Kayak Race board members presented the Levy ARC with a check for the proceeds from the 39th annual Wild Hog race.
The event raised $20,400, up from $19,400 last year.
"Thanks for the opportunity to serve you," Wild Hog President Keith Maynard said at the presentation at the Levy ARC facilities. We love each one of y'all, he said.
Maynard said they'd been called to do the race as a ministry and giving all the glory to God, they knew he'd continue to bless it.
Friends, family and community members all came out to support and raise funds for the Chiefland woman who is battling breast and ovarian cancer on Saturday, May 7.

Hyundai Santa Fe review
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a good looking, well built seven-seat SUV with a limited model range and a high asking price
The third-generation Hyundai Santa Fe SUV is an upmarket family car with a spacious interior. It rivals cars like the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and Land Rover Discovery Sport, and can be had with either five or seven seats.
Only one engine is available across the Santa Fe range - a 194bhp 2.2 CRDi diesel engine. You can have it with either a manual or automatic gearbox, but four-wheel drive is on every model regardless of your personal preferences.
The Santa Fe is also edging on expensive. With a starting price from around £31,000 - it is going toe-to-toe with some premium SUVs. That is a slight problem with the Santa Fe, as it can't quite keep up with the likes of the Audi Q5 or BMW X3 for cabin quality or badge appeal.
However, the Santa Fe's interior is incredibly spacious, and Hyundai includes an excellent five-year warranty as standard. Plus, it's rated five stars from Euro NCAP for added peace of mind.
Overall, the Santa Fe is a solid all-round big family car. That's why it won the award for Auto Express' Best Large SUV of 2014 and still features on our best 4x4s to buy list.
Engines, performance and drive
While the Hyundai has four-wheel drive, the part-time system means it drives like a front-drive car in most circumstances, and you'll only feel the dynamic benefits when grip is low.
The six-speed auto looks archaic alongside the eight and nine-speed autos in some rivals, but given that the 2.2 CRDi diesel delivers 194bhp and 436Nm of torque, the Hyundai proves you don't need lots of gears to deliver good performance.
Spec it with the six-speed manual, and the Santa Fe will sprint from 0-60mph in a sprightly 9.8 seconds.
At low speeds, the suspension smooths out rough surfaces well, yet go faster and it thumps into big bumps, sending shudders through the cabin. Undulating roads will see the Hyundai pitching and wallowing like a boat, and the soft suspension results in lots of body roll in corners.
It's not helped by the steering, which is rather vague. The Santa Fe features Hyundai's Flex Steer system, which allows the driver to vary the assistance, although in normal driving, the differences between the three settings are barely perceptible. Overall, the car is vice-free, but a little underwhelming.
There's a good range of seat and wheel adjustment to help you get comfortable in the Santa Fe, but you're aware of the car's size. While you sit high, the view ahead is spoiled by the chunky A-pillars, which cause nasty blind spots.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
The Hyundai Santa isn't too bad when it comes to running costs. Despite its powerful 194bhp 2.2-litre CRDi engine, it emits either 155, 159 or 178g/km of CO2 depending on the drivetrain and/or trim level.
With the six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel-drive, the Hyundai Santa Fe manages 47.9mpg and emits 155. When the six-speed manual gearbox is combined with four-wheel-drive, it emits 47.9mpg and the CO2 output rises slightly to 159g/km. In 4x4 guise with the automatic gearbox, it achieves 41.5mpg and emissions rise to 178g/km.
Experts predict that, thanks to its upmarket interior, attractive styling and seven-seat configuration, the residuals of the Hyundai Santa Fe should be quite strong.
As with all other cars in the Hyundai model line-up, the Santa Fe includes a fully transferrable, five-year unlimited-mileage warranty and it's probably one of the most affordable cars in its class to run on a daily basis.
Interior, design and technology
Hyundai has made great strides in terms of design, and the Santa Fe was one of the first models to be given a sharp new look. The large chrome grille is the main talking point, while the headlights wrap around the front end. The nose is large and imposing with an Audi-esque grille, while there are plenty of SUV touches elsewhere.
The body looks sleek, and its hefty size makes it an SUV with presence. It's certainly better looking than its sister car, the Kia Sorento, and isn't as dull on the eye as the Honda CR-V.
All three trim-levels of the Hyundai Santa Fe come well-specced. Entry-level and mid-range Style and Premium models come with 18-inch alloys, while the Premium and range-topping Premium SE cars have 19-inch alloys and a touchscreen sat-nav system.
Inside, the Hyundai has the trappings of an upmarket model, with touchscreen sat-nav, plenty of leather trim and silver accents on the dash, but the overall finish can't quite match up to the quality of more upmarket rivals.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
Given its size, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Hyundai Santa Fe is supremely practical.
There's 585-litres of boot space with the seats in place of the five-seat model, and when they are folded, this extends to 1,680-litres. If ferrying a brood of people is high on your agenda, a third row of seats is also available. It is, however, worth noting that these are difficult to access. Boot capacities with the seats up and folded are slightly reduced on the five-seat model, at 516-litres and 1,615-litres respectively.
The 60:40 split-fold middle seats in the Hyundai Santa Fe slide back and forth for easier access. They can also be folded down by the simple pull of a handle. Leg and headroom is impressive, while large storage cubbies in the doors and centre console offer ample space for your odds and ends. The rearmost windows are quite small, though, so those sitting in the third row of seats might feel a little claustrophobic.
If caravans are also your thing, the Hyundai Santa Fe is an unparalleled choice as a tow car. It can pull 750kg unbraked or 2,500kg braked. Buyers can even specify a special Trailer Stability Assist system that improves towing safety by limiting torque and braking individual wheels when necessary.
Reliability and Safety
The Hyundai Santa Fe was awarded the maximum five-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash safety tests in 2012. It scored an impressive 96 per cent score for adult protection and as standard, it comes with seven airbags, a strengthened body shell and electronic stability control (ESP).
What's more, Hyundai includes a five-year unlimited mileage warranty meaning buyers can be assured of peace of mind. The interior feels well screwed together and all of the mechanicals were proven in the previous generation Santa Fe.
In our 2014 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, the latest Hyundai Santa Fe didn't feature. In terms of manufacturers, Hyundai ranked 18th out of 33.
