Intervention to achieve alcohol abstinence represents the most effective treatment for alcoholic patients with liver cirrhosis. However no trials have evaluated the efficacy of anti-craving drugs in these patients because of the concern that these medications might worsen liver disease. Baclofen is effective to reduce alcohol craving improving abstinence in alcohol-dependent patients. It is mainly eliminated by kidney. No hepatic side-effects have been reported in treated patients. The present study investigates the efficacy and safety of baclofen in achieving and maintaining abstinence in alcoholic cirrhotic patients.

Darwinian Confusions, And Other Lesser Crimes
This is a book that people will find cute and charming—or it's a book they'll find cloying and false and illiterate. Since it comes garlanded in endorsements from accomplished writers and a movie star, too (Lucinda Rosenfeld, Nell Freudenberger, Sam Lipsyte—and Claire Danes), I expect many reviewers to go for option No. 1 and not Read More

Gold Paw Stretch Fleece Dog Coat
$22.99 $43.99
The Perfect Year-Round Dog Coat
Snugwear for indoors and outdoors, this fleece dog coat is a great choice. Gold Paw has perfected a lightweight fleece pullover for every dog – made right here in the USA. No sleeves or velcro, just stretchy lightweight fleece. Pull it on and turn down the handsome collar, and your dog will be snugly and comfortable all day and night.
Great for older or short-haired dogs, or those recovering from surgery or illness. This cozy fleece coat is water resistant and provide excellent belly and chest coverage. A terrific coat for temperate climates or can be layered under a jacket. Available in 15 sizes to cover every dog from Chihuahua puppies to Great Danes. Machine Washable and Dryable.
Measuring For The Stretch Fleece Coat
• The size of the coat refers to the length of your dog's back.
• Measure from the base of the neck to the beginning of the tail.
• Regular size refers to the measurement around the widest part of your dog's chest.
Sizing Tip
This fleece is exceptionally stretchy! Many dogs fit better one size down from their regular size. If your dog is on the smaller side of the girth measurements and not a very wide breed (like a bully breed), we suggest sizing down.
Care instructions
Machine wash, tumble dry low or hang to dry (dries super fast!). Avoid fabric softener – it can cause pilling on synthetic fabrics.

Year-RoundHistorical museum with unique, professionally designed exhibits defining the history of Freeborn County. We have an excellent research library. A historical village with 18 buildings - County School, Church, General Store, Log Cabins, Blacksmith Shop, Barbershop, Bank, Shoe Shop, Mill house, Train Depot and more. A unique new display area contains the Eddie Cochran/Marion Ross exhibit. Both were natives of Albert Lea and went on to make a name internationally - Cochran in rock 'n roll and Ross as Mrs. Cunningham in "Happy Days." Another unusual exhibit is the World War I and World War II poster collection on permanent loan from the American Legion Club. The historical village contains a variety of buildings - a country school, three distinctly different log cabins, a general store, a blacksmith shop, woodworking shop, country church, and a mill house. A modern building houses farm equipment, fire fighting equipment, and transportation vehicles. There is space provided on the grounds for more antique farm equipment. The story of Southern Minnesota settlement by Europeans is told in a variety of ways. Researchers spend hours, sometimes days, looking through microfilm and other resources tracing family history or other historical subjects. Room settings, display cases, open exhibits, and miniature business settings create learning and fun experiences for the viewer. Ordinary items that can relate to today's lifestyle are on display, in addition to the unusual pieces -- such as the square grand piano, jicara, knitting machine, mastodon tooth, salesman's sample of the oscillator washer, pot shards, and a log scriber. The county's story is told of a time when eight grades were educated in one room, the general store covered the needs not found in the vegetable garden, and when one horse-power was a luxury.

Methodology: Best Law Schools Rankings
Find out how U.S. News ranks law schools.
The rankings of 194 law schools fully accredited by the American Bar Association are based on a weighted average of the 12 measures of quality described here. Data were collected in fall 2012 and early 2013.
A law school official at each law school that responded to the U.S. News statistical survey—in many cases the dean—verified the data for accuracy.
Specialty rankings are based solely on nominations by legal educators at peer institutions.
[See the Best Law Schools rankings.]
Quality assessment (weighted by 0.40)
Peer assessment score (0.25): In fall 2012, law school deans, deans of academic affairs, chairs of faculty appointments, and the most recently tenured faculty members were asked to rate programs on a scale from marginal (1) to outstanding (5). Those individuals who did not know enough about a school to evaluate it fairly were asked to mark "don't know."
A school's score is the average of all the respondents who rated it. Responses of "don't know" counted neither for nor against a school. About 63 percent of those surveyed responded.
Assessment score by lawyers/judges (0.15): In fall 2012, legal professionals, including the hiring partners of law firms, state attorneys general, and selected federal and state judges, were asked to rate programs on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). Those individuals who did not know enough about a school to evaluate it fairly were asked to mark "don't know."
A school's score is the average of all the respondents who rated it. Responses of "don't know" counted neither for nor against a school.
In the fall 2012 lawyer and judge survey, U.S. News for the third year in a row surveyed hiring partners and recruiters at law firms who made the 2012 Best Law Firms rankings produced jointly by U.S. News and the publication Best Lawyers. Their ratings are included in the lawyer and judge survey score.
About 9 percent of those lawyers and judges surveyed responded. The two most recent years of the lawyer and judge surveys were averaged and weighted by 0.15.
Selectivity (weighted by 0.25)
Median LSAT scores (0.125): These are the combined median scores on the Law School Admission Test of all 2012 full-time and part-time entrants to the J.D. program.
Median undergrad GPA (0.10): This is the combined median undergraduate grade-point average of all the 2012 full-time and part-time entrants to the J.D. program.
Acceptance rate (0.025): This is the combined proportion of applicants to both the full-time and part-time J.D. program who were accepted for the 2012 entering class.
For the 2014 edition of Best Law Schools, U.S. News continued the same main law school rankings methodology that was used in the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 editions for admissions data. We used the combined 2012 class admissions data for both full-time and part-time entering students for the median LSAT scores, median undergraduate grade-point averages, and the acceptance rate in calculating the school's overall ranking.
Placement success (weighted by 0.20)
Success is determined by calculating employment rates for 2011 grads at graduation (0.04 weight) and nine months after (0.14 weight), as well as the bar passage rate, explained below.
As a result of new American Bar Association rules, a great deal more information can be had about the many types of positions law students take after they graduate. Each year, the schools report to the ABA how many of their most recent grads had jobs lined up by nine months after graduation.
The new standards require them to go into a lot more detail by reporting 35 different job types and durations, noting, for example, whether each graduate's employment was long term (defined as lasting at least a year) or shorter term, was full time or part time, and whether it required passage of a bar exam.
U.S. News collected these same statistics when we surveyed the schools for our annual rankings, along with the same data on those members of the class who were employed at graduation.
For this year's rankings, U.S. News incorporated this richer data into our computation of the employment measure for the class of 2011 at graduation and nine months later. Placement success was calculated by assigning various weights to the number of grads employed in 22 of these different types of post-J.D. jobs and durations.

Just a heads up for anyone waiting, the date has now been pushed back to 8/3 via the VZW website.
I am waiting too (for a replacement device), and this sucks.
Just a heads up for anyone waiting, the date has now been pushed back to 8/3 via the VZW website.
I am waiting too (for a replacement device), and this sucks.
Makes me all the more thankfull I just happened to find the last unti in my local Walmart just by chance!
This poor display of inventory management is perplexing. I probably would have already gotten an Incredible if they had their shvt together. I'm debating between the two now, but am considering waiting it out for the Samsung. Is Verizon to blame or the manufacturer? I know HTC had the issues with the AMOLED screens, but what is Motorola or Verizon's excuse for this?
Interesting. I will keep an eye on this as i plan to get one on 8/11.
Just logged in Verizon's website and as of 7:57 CDT it says available 7/27.

Yeah, I mean according to what another user said in another forum, since Moto is using a LCD screen that is not in shortage, hopefully the turnaround to manufacture them will be faster. So hoping it will be before 8/3. But then again who knows, the date this morning was 7/27 and then later this afternoon it changed to 8/3. Crossing my fingers!
Just found that out today when I ordere my 2nd DroidX.
One good thing about VZW, they let me upgrade 8 months into my contract.
maybe the 7/23 date is for the people that ordered last week, and they have gone through the second batch already (before its even in their hands), and they're not working on the third batch and that's the new date, 8/3.
Hmm that may or may not be the case. When I called this morning to do an exchange, the CSR said I would be getting it on or by 7/27 still, and she said that date included all the backorders and new orders being placed. The 8/3 date didnt update till about a couple of hours ago on the VZW website, so who knows. We shall see what happens!

President Obama's trip back to his home in Chicago for a long weekend meant that reporters went along to keep tabs on POTUS - President Of The United States - and that didn't sit too well with one local resident.
The Obamas went to a neighbor's house for a backyard barbeque on Saturday evening, so the White House Pool reporters dutifully sat in their van just down the street.
That's when the fun began in front of a house that's about 2+ blocks from the Obama's home.
These reports were sent back by New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes.
Pool Report 5:
At 7:20 local time the pool was holding at Woodlawn and 49th, next to a large sandstone mansion that the Chicago reporters say is the home of one Louis Farrakhan. Our Secret Service agent allowed us off the bus (Air!) and as a dozen of us congregated on the sidewalk, inevitably some shoes touched grass. Immediately a polite man in jeans and Tshirt emerged to ask us to stay off the grass. Though this grass was the curbside city property, we obliged.
Soon, however, he was pacing and talking on a cell phone. He went inside the mansion's black wrought iron fence, crossed the well-landscaped yard, lifted a water bucket behind rose bushes and, voila!, a walkie-talkie. He was heard to refer to "the CIA" once he began speaking into it.
Soon he approached our agent, asking him to move the van and its occupants, though your pooler could not hear much else he said. But the agent said, "How is this a security breach?" And he asked if the house was a government property.
The man said something else and at that point the agent stuck out his hand to shake hands and introduced himself as a Secret Service agent. He added, "Sir, I can assure you that we will do nothing to interfere with whatever is going on in there."
The man is back to pacing and talking on his cell, walkie-talkie in hand.
A co-pooler searched the Internet for the address and found it listed on a Web site called NotForTourists and another called Taxexemptworld.com.
Indeed, another pooler found a county Web site that confirmed this property is tax exempt for being a religious institution.
Reinforcements arrived--three men in Tshirts reading "Wide or Die!" One surly man has been staring daggers at us. Asked if this is Minister Farrakhan's house, he just stared at your pooler. Asked again, he said, "I don't have no comment."
White House Pool Report 5a
It's 8:45 and nearly dark; your pool has retreated back inside the van. We're outnumbered now by roughly a dozen Fruit of Islam agents for the Nation of Islam. As each casually dressed man arrives, he exchanges elaborate handshake/hug/double air-kisses with others. Two walked by your pooler chanting "Islam."
Several have filmed and photographed your poolers, the van and its license plates with their cell phones.
One came and stood close to a couple poolers and OUR agent. He asked if he could help. No answer. He asked again. The man said no. The agent said, "Secret Service -- Please move away from this group of people."
He did.
Soon the agent asked us to go in the bus.
We did.
But several poolers, hearing the call of nature, are asking whether they might ask the Fruit about using their bathroom.
Still holding. No pun intended.
White House Pool Report 5b
9:20 local time and our agent got reinforcements from three Secret Service agents. One shook hands with one of the 22 Fruit members we now can count from the van. After a short discussion the three Secret Service agents walked away again.
No word on when we get to leave. We're guessing POTUS is watching the Blackhawks game at the Nesbitts' home.
White House Pool Report 5c
The power of pool reportage! Standoff ends, apparently with help of intermediary in Detroit:
Your pooler got a call at about 10:15 local time from a pool report reader who identified himself as the Rev. Gary Hunter, a Baptist minister in Motown who writes and blogs for the Detroit Times. He said he had called Minister Farrakhan and his son and asked them to have the Fruit stand down.
"I told him you were good people," Rev. Hunter said. "He said he didn't know you all were just waiting for the president."
As it happens, the FOI indeed had mostly gone by then. The Rev Hunter apparently is remembered by Ms. Tubman, and he said he knows our frequent press rustler Ben Finkenbinder from past travels with Obama, and -- sorry, Ben -- could he make that name up?
Anyway, at 10:33 we pulled away and we are at the Obama residence. Never saw Potus et al.

If you want to understand the Obama administration's schizophrenic attitude toward agricultural issues, consider Tom Stearns. He is the founder and president of High Mowing Seeds, a small Vermont company that sells 100 percent organic fruit and vegetable seeds, primarily to commercial growers. The seeds sown in the First Lady's chemical-free White House garden are ordered from High Mowing each spring, and Stearns has been to Washington, D.C., to consult with Sam Kass, the chef who oversees the nation's most high-profile organic plot.

Wow. Two whole days suspension. He's lucky he didn't eat a bowl of his own feces. He probably would have gotten three days for that.
Found November 15, 2012 on
Pro Football Zone:
Cleveland Browns
According to Mark Reinhart of The News-Herald, off-duty police officer Phil Croucher has been suspended for two days for dunking his head into a bucket of urine at a Browns game last month. Nine other off-duty officers have been given reprimands. "You were identified as a Mentor Police Officer and that information was broadcast on many of the television, internet and news print media casting a negative light on the professionalism of not only yourself as a M.P.D. officer, but the entire organization," Llewellyn wrote. When police were initially made aware of the incident, Croucher was placed on paid administrative leave until a doctor confirmed he was healthy and posed no medical risk to the public. The department then conducted an internal investigation, which determined nine other Mentor officers paid Croucher $50 each to perform the stunt. "The fact money was collected for this "dare," should not detract from (Croucher) assuming final responsibility for this poor decision," wrot...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe in a generic Spring application, you do need to change the helper classes to switch from one persistence provider to another. I am sure there are cases where you can design application so that the switch only requires minimal effort. But the article is talking about the generic picture.
I ran the article through several Spring developers I knew. They did not dispute that point. So, I guess they had more or less the same experience I had. But, I'd like to be corrected if I am overstating the problem. So, I appreciate your input.

A person is mugged in Manhattan every 6.8 minutes. I am that person, and I really wish they'd leave me alone. I think it's because I am the world's only living midget with gigantism.. Women tend to be attracted to me If the lights are really dim, or they have had a lot to drink. If both are happening at the same time, I'm apparently a hottie. My aunt was Betty Boop. Yes, the voice of the cartoon character. Hopefully, that's not the most interesting thing about me, but I am the only guy on JDate who can put that in their profile. Okay, I guess anyone can put it in their profile, but I am the only one who can honestly state it. She was the original and only one to do the voice until she died. She stopped doing it after that for obvious reasons. As long as I blackmail them and threaten their children, my friends will tell you that I'm great. I used to love the show America's Most Wanted. Did you know that you don't get the reward for turning in the actors who play the criminals? He was really mad. Lesson learned. I believe that before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes so when you criticize them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes. My dog Bruno is deaf, and has recently been prescribed Xanax. It was a relief to learn that he has anxiety issues, considering my theory about him plotting against me. I have skydived, bungee jumped, white water rafted, and ride a motorcycle. I would love to meet someone who would do these things with me, but understand that it's not for everyone. I just need someone to understand that occasionally I might need to go 100 mph on the bike (not on 2nd Avenue). Hey, why is "Don't believe in it" an answer for Zodiac sign? Whether you believe in it or not, you have a birthday (I hope), and therefore by definition, you have a sign. I don't believe in it either, but like the tooth fairy, it is real. Global warming is, however an urban legend. How is a fish a pet? I finally figured out why people like cats so much...they're delicious. If you're a cat lover, you might have stopped reading by now. Important note: No cats were harmed in the making of this profile. If that wasn't enough, I am a great cook too (I really am Jewish-pinky swear). I hated the movie "You've Got Mail". Oh, and one thing I need to mention. I just turned 45, so I'm not not 40 (stupid birthdays). I promise the rest is as advertised except for the petite body style thing. At 5'11, that's obviously a joke. Hope you enjoy my Kibitz answers. I couldn't take the questions seriously.

Buddhism and Science: A Guide for the Perplexed
A talk on Buddhism and science by Professor Donald Lopez of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Part of the UCLA Center for Buddhist Studies Numata Colloquium Series.
Monday, February 23, 2009
Royce Hall 243
In debates about the relationship between religion and science, some have argued that among the world's religions, it is Buddhism that is most compatible with modern science. In this lecture, Donald Lopez will provide a brief history of the association of Buddhism with science, beginning in the nineteenth century and moving to the present day. He will conclude the lecture by considering possible reasons for the persistence of the claims for the compatibility of Buddhism and science, as well as what Buddhism has gained, and lost, in the process.

What is more romantic than dinner for two at a secluded table in a luxurious island location? Nothing in this world. What can look good at any restaurant looks even better against white linen and waves. Why? Ask someone you love. These six island spaces are designed with couples in mind -- a table on the beach in the Turks & Caicos, a table by the fire on Sardinia or one at the end of a wooden walkway over the water and under the stars in Maui. Our contributing editors discovered how each place combines intimate atmosphere with innovative cuisine for amazing meals and unforgettable moments.
Bora-Bora: Le Méridien
Over-Water Table by Eddy Patricelli
Reptiles and romance -- the theme behind Le Tiare restaurant at Le Méridien resort -- would seem absurd back home. But neither protective glass nor railings separate guests from the water here, and the lagoon's otherworldly coloring isn't painted on. The creatures in the water are not animatronic, and the star-strewn sky doesn't sprawl above a planetarium's steep seats. Here everything is real -- including romance. You and your dinner companion sit in wicker chairs on the edge of a wooden deck over the resort's real-life Turtle Sanctuary. A peaked thatch roof towers above, and wild green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles swim below, tugging attention from yellowfin tuna carpaccio and sesame-seaweed salad on the table. Across the water, another turtle raises your line of sight to include a familiar silhouette rising from the lagoon: an over-water hut. It's further proof that you're in the dream destination of Bora- Bora. Imagine being together every time you take a bite -- whether of the mahimahi or the sea bream or the lobster -- or as you sip the dry white Muscadet wine. You have to check to make sure this is all happening. A nod, a smile -- almost laughter -- register something beyond awe: This is real! lemeridien.com
Sardinia: Hotel Su Gologone
Table in the Inn by David Lansing
Go back in time. A cobbled path through an olive grove, an ivy-covered villa built of limestone quarried from the surrounding Supramonte massif -- every step you take together carries you another decade back until you enter Su Gologone resort's dining room. Copper pots and pans hang on cobalt-blue walls in a candlelit dining room fragrant of myrtle and rosemary. Racked in front of the 100-year-old fireplace, the restaurant's signature porceddu, or suckling pigs skewered on metal rods, roast before a glowing fire. Su Gologone, a country inn on this mountainous island, is known for two things: its romantic atmosphere and its authentic Sardinian cooking. Along with porceddu, there's homemade ravioli stuffed with wild fennel and pecorino, and seadas -- cheese fritters flavored with lemon peel and drizzled in local honey. Order a bottle of the region's famed blood-red Nepente di Oliena wine, toast your good for- tune and put your appetite in the chef's hands. Tomorrow morning you can work it off, trekking together along an ancient shepherd's path. On a clear day, you can see the tiny fishing village of Cala Gonone from the overlook. On a beautiful evening, you can imagine your future shining on the silvered Mediterranean Sea. sugologone.it
Maui, Hawaii: Grand Wailea Resort
Private Dining Peninsula by Lori Barbely
The sun drops below the horizon across the Pacific, and a crescent moon rises in its place. Every head at Grand Wailea Resort's Humuhumunukunukuapua'a restaurant turns toward the best seats in the house. Guests of honor, the two of you make your way out onto a private peninsula over a saltwater lagoon and settle into wicker armchairs at Table 70, adorned with hand-carved tiki lamps. Of course, there's not a bad seat at Humu's, named for Hawaii's official state fish, and everyone gets treated like Hawaiian nobility. Reminiscent of Hawaii's royal king ponds, the lagoon, along with a Polynesian-style thatched roof, makes dining here an occasion. The restaurant features locally caught fi sh prepared with Asian accents. But have no fear -- there's no humu on the menu. (If you want to see the fish, snorkel off the nearby beach.) Sip a Tsunami made with mango and passion fruit, and choose a spiny lobster from the water below you. The chefs will grill it and serve it with their signature fried rice in vanilla brandy cream. Top off the evening with Yuzu cheesecake and a stroll under the stars. grandwailea.com
Coloane, Macau: Espaco Lisboa
Balcony Table Above the Square by Jenny Block
A restaurant in China that feels like a country village bistro in Portugal? Well, they say true love is unexpected, too. Here on the charming island of Coloane off China's southern coast west of Hong Kong, Lord Stow's Bakery and the St. Francis Xavier Chapel, where you can light a candle to mark the day, accent this destination. In a tiny two-story house, painted tile floors and a balcony festooned with flowers give Espaco Lisboa the feel of a European fairy tale. Its small balcony offers the best tables for fair weather -- ask for the one on the right -- but the restaurant's diminutive nature makes every table romantic. One trip here and you'll be spoiled by robust Portuguese specialties like fried cod- fish cakes, sautéed clams and pata negra. Melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese salad and honey bread are a must. And for the full Espaco Lisboa experience, ask the chef to open a bottle of champagne from the impressive wine list, then order the tenderloin steak seared tableside on hot tiles. And crepes suzette made for two while you watch adds yet more flare to all that sizzle. macautourism.gov.mo
Providenciales, Turks & Caicos: Grace Bay Club
Table on the Beach by Ashley Knaus
Tiki torches and ocean waves define your dining room. Anacaona restaurant at the Grace Bay Club only does one seating per night at this water-side table for two, so when you and your sweetheart dine alone on Grace Bay Beach, the seating area is at maximum capacity. The setting alone would be enough, but here comes the first course, a tasting of crab blackened with tomato marmalade, salad with creole dressing and tempura served over a bed of bok choy. No decisions to be made, no need to lift a finger -- except to sip your fresh raspberry mojito -- and all the time you want. The chef prepares a set menu for the beach table, and your semi-private butler delivers it. Before long, the festive mood of the open-air, 130-seat dining area gets lost in the distance behind you. Second and third courses go down easily. Perhaps too easily -- you need room for the entrees (yes, three of them): seared Provo red snapper, sautéed Chilean sea bass and grilled filet of prime angus, all paired with matching wines. The petit fours can't be missed, either, nor the Grace Bay coffee with three kinds of rum and whipped cream, nor the glittering path formed by moonlight on the water. gracebayclub.com
Antigua: Hermitage Bay
Table by the Bay by Matthew Miller
The endless possibilities of an Antigua day come down to these evening few: a table of dark wood on white sand and a Zodiac tugging at its chain in the shallows, black rock framing the sea and two tilted glasses of champagne. For over -night guests only, the Hermitage Bay resort prepares special dinners on the beach. Shrimp linguine in white-wine cream sauce or charred beef tenderloin with roasted beets may be your toughest choice. Behind you, the covered dining room -- built from purple and green heartwoods -- feels hewn from the island itself. Hermitage Bay curves into a rugged landscape, and the resort's cottages curve up the hill. Antigua claims to have 365 beaches, but the soft strand you're sitting on together feels like the only beach on earth. In shadow, a sailboat captain drops anchor in the bay and furls his sails. He ignites his masthead light to signal nightfall, then disappears belowdecks. You're not quite alone -- someone has refilled your glasses and left white chocolate spring rolls, with an oil lamp to share them by. You have all the company you need. hermitagebay.com

cant make up my mind between alpha sst or alpha sport i like to do duck goose deer hunting im 51 & my feet always get cold then the game is over i have to leave hunting if any one can help please do god bless thank youAnswers
If you are looking for warmth, the Sports don't provide it whatsoever. Buy the insulated boots and you will be pleased with your choice. Also, the battery heated socks can help with cold feet too. Happy hunting and God SpeedA:
Choose a different boot. If your feet get cold these are not for you. A good 2400 gram good insulate boot is the best. Sportsmans guide guid has the best buy at around 80 bucks !!!A:
The one with the most insulation value is the obvious choice.A:
Get a muck bootAnswers
No. Have had a pair for 13 years and no problems.A:
I had no neoprene tear off of my boots and I had them for over 7 yearsA:
Very tough boot !! Just not a true insulated boot !!A:
I have not experienced that issue or heard others have it with this bootA:
The uppers are extremely tough, I hunt 100 days a year and usually get two years out of mine.A:
Never had this issueDetails:
i wear size 11.5 should i get 11 or 12?Answers
No doubt a 12A:
No doubt get a 12A:
Go for the size 12.A:
Depending on the thickness of the socks you are wearing we suggest going to a size 12.Answers
These boots have Neoprene insulation not ThinsulateA:
This boot doesn't have any insulation.A:
None it doesn't have thinsulate at all it's like a wet suit insulation for your feet. I double the sock if the temps get in the 30s.A:
It should tell you in the ad. Neoprene all the way to 1200 and beyond. Call them if you have any questions before ordering.Top 500 Contributor
you can get them in a range from uninsulated, 800, 1000, 1200, or 1500, but you can buy the alpha SST in a 2000 gram.Details:
When it comes to shopping for a new pair of boots, how would I know if 3.5 mm of neoprene will be as warm as the 1000 gram thinsulate boots I own now. In other words, how many grams of thinsulate would a 3.5mm neoprene be equal to?Answers
About 600 !! At least this Is what the sales rep told at bass pro!!A:
I really cant answer that. But I can tell you these boots are not as warm as boots with 1000 grams of Thinsulate.A:
There is no comparison. I have a dozen pair of boots from 1200 grams down to uninsulated which has neoprene inside. If you need warmth go with the 1000 grams of thinsulate.A:
its the same just their way of changing things up a little1 of 1

Investors seeking high yield with a little more risk than bonds tend to invest in REITs. The higher yield is a tradeoff for being exposed to more financial risk. As yield has come down through 2011, investors have migrated to the highest yield REITs such as specialty finance and mortgage REITs. These REITs tend to be small capitalization stocks that are interest rate-sensitive. While the Fed has basically declared no rate changes until probably 2013, these stocks should hold up well in 2012. Since they carry more risk, it makes sense to look to purchase a bundle of these REITs in an ETF.
PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (KBWD) seeks to track the price performance of the underlying holdings in the KBW Financial Sector Dividend Yield Index. KBWD's Top Ten holdings were 44.8% of total assets. KBWD has total assets of $34.3 million. The Total Market Capitalization of KBWD's holdings are $34.5 million. The fund targets the price and yield of an index called the KBW Financial Sector Dividend Yield Index. The Index is calculated using a dividend yield weighted methodology that seeks to reflect the performance of approximately 24 to 40 publicly-listed financial companies that are principally engaged in the business of providing financial services and products, including banking, insurance and diversified financial services.
Showing assets of $34 million under management, KBWD is a smaller fund. Analyzing individual companies' returns on assets, equity and sales is a proxy for quantifying how effectively a company operates with regard to generating profits. KBWD is trading at a low valuation as its constituent averages a price to book ratio of 1.1 and a PE of 9.5. This ETF should be purchased as a dividend play as it has a dividend yield of 12.8%. The long-term projected growth rate is 6.4%.
The greatest benefit to investors is they get a bundled group of smaller high yielding stocks that are popular dividend plays, all in one ETF. This includes stocks such as Annaly Capital (NLY), American Capital Agency (AGNC), Hatteras Financial (HTS), Chimera Investment (CIM), Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR), Capstead Mortgage (CMO), MFA Financials (MFA) and many other high yield stocks. The general rule with Annaly and Hatteras is to buy them when their price to book is at 1.0 or lower and then sell them at a price to book ratio of 1.5. As shown in the table below, both of these stocks are trading at a current price to book of 1.0, putting them in the buy zone.
KBWD had a tough inaugural year as it took a -10% hit when the market pulled back in August compared to a 13.8 price decline in the S&P 500. KBWD rebounded 8.59% in the fourth quarter 2011. The long-term projected growth rate is 6.4%. KBWD could outperform the broader markets over the next six to twelve months.

From the editor . . .
We made a last-minute change to the April Homes edition. At the end of the story about Chris and Cindy Watson's wonderful Tartan Fields' home there was a phrase that mentioned "when the weather improves."
But, really, how much better could it get? We were editing the final layouts on March 21; it was 81 degrees and sunny. Yet, the early April forecast predicted that we'll get a few chillier days before summer truly hits. So, that phrase in the Watson story was changed to "this summer" and we left it at that.
It would make total sense to say these eleventh-hour changes are annoying, but they're really not when we have the privilege of poring over photographs and articles about Central Ohio's gorgeous homes and gardens for a full month, or longer, before we're finished with the editing process. This spring, I paused when I realized the volumes we've written (and edited) regarding the area's homes.
I recalled a muddy spring, tramping around The Lakes with developers Tod and Jay Ortlip before a single house was built. There was another spring when I drove, with a 4-year-old suffering chickenpox in the back seat, up to the New Albany Country Club as it was under construction. A few years later, I sped across Buckeye Lake in a boat with Andrew Wolfe and Marty Finta while they excitedly discussed their plans—still on the drawing boards—for Heron Bay.
We've come a long way in a couple of decades, Central Ohio. Today we enjoy world-class architecture, superior design acumen and fabulous shopping for our homes and gardens. In Columbus Monthly Homes we positively celebrate our traditions and share with you the aspiration of a life well lived.
We hope you enjoy the story about Chris Watson, his new home and the many others in this spring's edition.

Albany - You've heard meteorologists talk about the weather radio, but do you know how they work. The NOAA radio can save your life, if a storm is headed your way.
The weather radio alerts you to severe weather up to 50 miles away from your home, sounding a high pitched warning.
"The alarm will wake you up in the middle of the night if a storms is near your home. It works on batteries, giving you warnings even if the power goes out in your neighborhood," said Scott Wheeler, Radio Shack.
The radio gives you a warning, but it's up to you to act. "If you hear a tornado warning, you should immediately go to the basement or lowest part of your home," said Assistant Fire Chief James Carswell. "If you don't have a basement, go to the inner-most part of your home and don't stand near windows."
If you live in a mobile home, seek shelter elsewhere if possible. Always take the radio alerts and the county weather alarms seriously. They can save your life.
Weather radios cost between $25 and $70 and can be bought at most electronic stores.

Nicknamed "The Natural State" and "The Land of Opportunity," Arkansas holds an important place in our nation's history and its future. Despite Arkansas' economic success, the state continues to lag behind many others in its postsecondary attainment and college completion. The Arkansas Department of Higher Education has taken steps to raise the educational level of its citizens and increase college graduation rates by establishing more needs-based scholarships, maintaining affordable tuition rates, and ensuring that all residents can access at least one college within a 30-mile drive from their home. Today, there are more than 40 traditional and online colleges and universities in Arkansas. The state has a wide assortment of public and private non-profit and for-profit institutions, as well as several technical and vocational schools. Many of the two- and four-year colleges in Arkansas now offer online courses and degree programs in an effort to increase the state's college graduation rates and accommodate adult learners.

Agriculture accounts for nearly $16 billion of the state's economy, which is largely driven by the production of poultry, rice, soybeans, and other crops
Arkansas' largest industries are agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. Agriculture accounts for nearly $16 billion of the state's economy, which is largely driven by the production of poultry, rice, soybeans, and other crops. Arkansas' forest products and timber industries are also some of the strongest in the nation. As for manufacturing, food processing, electrical equipment, and fabricated metal products are some of the biggest industrial outputs in the state.
Many of the largest companies in the world are headquartered in Arkansas, including Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, and Anderson Fish Farms. Not only do these companies dominate the state's economy, but many of them also provide the highest number of jobs in the state. According to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, the top four employers are the state of Arkansas, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the federal government, and Tyson Foods, Inc. Those who are interested in working for these top employers or in these major industries will most likely need to have a college degree. Although no job is ever guaranteed, you may have a better chance of landing an interview or being considered for a job if you earn a degree from an accredited program.
The University of Arkansas' Global Campus offers several online programs and distance courses to in-state and out-of-state students. As of now, UA only has one fully online bachelor's degree program, but the Global Campus does offer 18 graduate degree programs and a handful of licensure and certificate programs. The Arkansas State University System offers hundreds of distance education courses and degree programs at its 11 campus locations and online. Those who attend Arkansas online colleges and universities will be able to design a flexible school schedule that meets their educational and professional needs and fits nicely into their busy lifestyles.
Students can choose from a wide variety of big and small online colleges in Arkansas. Big national schools like Strayer University and University of Phoenix have a strong presence here, especially in Little Rock, the state capital and largest city in Arkansas. Both Arkansas online colleges offer bachelor's and master's degrees in a wide variety of programs. One of the more well-known smaller online schools in Arkansas is Remington College. The school's Little Rock campus is known for offering many diverse degree and diploma programs, including technical training in criminal justice, medical assisting, medical billing and coding, and pharmacy technician.

What is Addison's disease?
Addison's disease is an endocrine or hormonal disorder that occurs in all age groups and afflicts men and women equally. The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body.
How does Addison's disease occur?
Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. The disease is also called adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism.
What is cortisol?
Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It belongs to a class of hormones called glucocorticoids, which affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Scientists think that cortisol has possibly hundreds of effects in the body. Cortisol's most important job is to help the body respond to stress. Among its other vital tasks, cortisol:
- helps maintain blood pressure and heart function
- helps slow the immune system's inflammation response
- helps balance the effects of insulin in breaking down sugar for energy
- helps regulate the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
- helps maintain proper arousal and sense of well-being
