"These are for my daughters wedding, and She i s procrastinator. Could not make a decision on what she wanted. She saw these and made the decision on the spot !"
"I was very happy with the quality of the save the dates. The pictures looked great and magnets were great too. the customer service was so helpful too!"
"I customized this save the date with my own photos, wedding date, and color. I used the design for magnets, and the quality was absolutely flawless! I'm so happy with my magnets!"
"We love our save the dates and the promptness the designers responded to our changes. Upon receiving them and placing them in envelopes over 3/4 of the them would not seal and left the envelope flap warped--we ended up having to tape all 150 of our invites because of this!"
"We love the design and the size of our save the date magnet! Ordering and customizing was an easy process and we received our magnets before our estimated delivery time. I would highly recommend this style and magnet."

What are the Cards Chances This Year?
I live in California and I am a big time Cards fan. I watch as many games as ESPN will air, and they like Louisville and air them quite often. Last year I left work for 2 hours to watch the game just to be fuming on that no call and the inability to rebound.
Before the Big East Tournament I was a bit apprehensive as to what the Cardinals would do in the tournament. Injuries were stacking up and poor play against poor teams. Now after the Big East Tournament I am ready for the madness to begin.
Louisville is a #4 seed, I was really hoping for a #3 seed but whatcanyado, Were matched up with Davidson and the spread is Louisville -7.5. Feeling pretty good about our chances here and then Doug Gotlibb goes over his bracket and picks Davidson to advance.
Here we go again. I looked at our region and thought, God damn, we could easily beat Davidson, Long beach upset New Mexico, and we beat them again. I don't believe Michigan State is as good as everyone makes them out to be. We just manhandled Marquette. Mizz is a tough team but if were rolling like we been, then we could get through that.
How sweet would it be to roll Kentucky in the final 4? I hate Kentucky and that would be glorious.
I am a homer, and I want to win but what are your feelings and thoughts as to where the Cards will end up once the nets are cut down?

When we invite these lost inner children back into our lives, we have to be ready for them to express a lot of distress. But what do we do then?
How Do We Soothe the Inner Child?First of all, it is a process and it won't get done all at once. You need to learn how to parent your own particular inner children. They will teach you what they need as time goes on. You will have to be just as patient as if you had adopted a real child with a troubled background.
Second, you need to take those feelings extremely seriously. "Soothing" the child does not mean saying, "There, there, dear. It's OK. Stop crying." You may have heard voices like that in your past, but your job is to be a different kind of parent, one who really listens to the child's feelings. The first part of soothing is to hear the feelings. The child might not be able to tell you why she or he feels sad or angry or scared. Your job is to pay attention to the feelings.
If you can, find a safe a quiet place where you can literally sit down and listen. Let the feelings emerge. Accept all of them, even though it is painful. If you can't bear all of it at once, tell the child that you will listen for ten minutes, or five, or two minutes. Then promise the child to make another time later to listen some more.
As the feelings emerge, focus on loving the child who is entrusting you with these valuable and vulnerable emotions. Tell the child that you are proud of her or him for coming forth. Sometimes you may feel completely overwhelmed and inside the feelings, like your are being the child. That's OK. If you can manage to stay in that place, try to do so. See if you can detect any shift where you might feel a little more like a grownup holding the child.
Here's Where the Soothing Comes In:
- Value all those difficult feelings and validate them.
- Let your body express the love you have for this child by holding a pillow or stuffed animal, rocking, humming, stroking, doing anything you'd do to comfort an actual child.
- Trust your instincts on this. Let the child tell you what feels good to her or him.
- Don't let any critical voices tell you that it's silly to rock and hum a lullaby. It's not silly—it is valuable practice in loving yourself.
Over time you will learn to be the caring parent that this child never had. You will share your future with the wonderful, free, and loving spirit that is your inner child.

A tragic house fire rocks the town of Lake City, Iowa. One adult and three children died in the blaze early Tuesday morning. The victims are identified as 23-year-old Tyra Pierson, her 10-month-old son Xavier, her eight-year-old sister Madison, and her three-year-old brother Wyatt. A Lake City police officer discovered the fire, but couldn't get in the house because of the intense flames and smoke. The state fire marshal is investigating, but says the fire is not considered suspicious.
The search for those two missing northeast Iowa cousins brings the father of one of them to Sioux City. Drew Collins handed out flyers Tuesday in hopes that someone might recognize his daughter Elizabeth and his niece Lyric Cook. Other family members and friends are taking the flyers across the state. The girls vanished while riding their bicycles in Evansdale. Tuesday was the four-month anniversary of their disappearance.
A senior care center in Le Mars celebrates completion of a three-year renovation project. Officials at the Good Samaritan Society nursing home cut the ribbon Tuesday on the new "neighborhood concept." Rooms were expanded, giving residents more privacy. There are also two courtyards, a chapel, and a new community room.
Students from Gehlen Catholic High School in Le Mars spent Tuesday helping others. As part of the school's annual service day, all 120 students took care of fall chores for the elderly and those in need of assistance. They raked leaves, washed windows, and worked on lawns. The students worked on 89 projects in all. This is the school's 10th year of carrying on the tradition.

I only got to meet Harvey a couple times but I enjoyed his company as much as we all enjoy his legacy. Legendary climber, patroller Harvey T. Carter dies at 81
Those are some excellent stories in the article! The one about the road rage guy throwing punches while Harvey is trying punch in at the time clock is hilarious.
HOLY CRAP!!! I met him after rapping down from one of his climbs (Twin Cracks) up Independence Pass a few years back. Think I spoke (or listened) to his stories for about 2 hours! He told me about his FA of Twin Crack and how he led the first pitch hammering in only one piton. Guy had sausage sized fingers. Supposedly he has a book of all of his FA's at his home. Claims there are about 5,000 or so. Wow. Hardcore legend.

I have unfortunately been sick from school for a while so I decided to spend my time scouting some players the Falcons could draft this year and I wanted to compare them to other guys in the same position. First we will start with a glaring need in the Falcons defense, especially if they plan to stick with a 4-3 scheme next year. Also these players may be fits in a more multiple defense. So to kick off a series I plan to start.
Alex Okafor vs Sam Montegomery.
These are two DEs that should fall somewhere around where the Falcons are drafting and personally I hope the Falcons snag one of them.
Alex Okafor: DE
College- Texas
Height- 6'4
Weight- 260
Unofficial average 40 time- 4.78
Best scheme fit- At his size coming out of college it would be best to put him as a standing OLB lining up near the line. If he can put on some more weight, he can fit in the 4-3 scheme better.
College Career- Okafor was quiet in his first two years on the Texas defense but emerged as a star in his junior and senior year. In his Junior year he put up 12.5 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, 7 sacks and 3 passes batted down. Notably he struggled mightily that year against Texas A&Ms tackle combination of Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews, but since Texas A&M moved to the SEC he never faced them his senior year. His senior year he progressed in the Big 12 which is a pass happy conference, he totaled 16.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles. In the senior bowl he flourished against highly rated OT Eric Fisher and was praised by many coaches for his athleticism.
Awards- He received the Nagurski, Bednarik, and Lombardi awards his senior year.
Overview: Okafor is slightly undersized but can fit in a multiple defense well. He has great hand placement when attacking his blocker and has some good moves to get off blocks. He has struggled at times in the run defense but this isn't too big of a hole in his game, he effectively gets to the quarterback with his speed and ability to get low on his blocker. He can upgrade some of his pass rush moves but as of right now can succeed in the NFL level.
Sam Montegomery: DE
Unofficial average 40 time- N/A as of right now.
Best Scheme fit- Like Okafor, Montgomery is undersized to be a pure defensive end and would be a nice OLB in a 3-4 scheme. If he adds some weight he could fit in multiple looks.
College Career- Montgomery started off with a frustrating sophomore season that was cut short by a knee injury. His junior year he had a good comeback with 13.5 tackles for loss, 9 sacks, and a forced fumble. These stats could be slightly overblown as he was on one of the nations best defenses that included Mingo, Brockers, Mathieu, Claiborne and many other talented players, but that's the SEC and many good NFL players come out of the SEC. In his junior year he struggled against Barrett Jones who at the time was playing tackle for the Crimson Tide. In there rematch in the national championship, he was again held in check by Jones. His senior season he commanded more attention and racked up 8 sacks.
Overview: Sam is a great physical presence that needs a little more work on his game to be great. He has great speed and athleticism but can struggle to get off the ball at times. He uses his speed to run past linemen and has an average bull rush move that he uses often. He is solid in the run game, and fills holes nicely. He needs some work on his pass rush but it isn't a major concern yet. My only concern is that he reaped the benefits of a good SEC defense that opposing teams couldn't focus solely on him.
My Choice: Okafor. He seems to be more NFL ready and can fit in multiple schemes if he puts on a few pounds. I expect him and Montgomery to put on some more weight but Okafor seems to have the better hands, hips, and all around better moves. Okafor also didn't have as much help from teammates as Montgomery had im college. So if the Falcons decide to go with a DE round one, I'd take Okafor over Montgomery assuming they are both there.
Id like to keep this going so feel free to leave a comment with suggestions of how to make this better, if it's worth making more, and what matchups you'd like to see broken down.

WS 7: Vintage Omega Seamaster Gasket Ring Replacement
The Movement, Cal. 552 (related to 551, no "buttelin"!)
The serial number of 22'xxx'xxx dates the
year of production of this Omega around 1965 (source: Cooksey Shugart's Complete
Price Guide to Watches 2001). And between 1966 and 1968 according to another
Omega source (Kreuzer, see below). The caliber 552 is very similar to the caliber 551
introduced in 1959. The main difference is, that the 551 holds an exclusive C.O.S.C for the Constellation market introduction. Like the 551, the 552
features a beautiful swan neck regulator, 24 jewels, great bi-directional
winding, plain Glucydur balance, 19'800 bph, first flexible spring block for
easier regulation, power reserve over 50 hours due to a main spring with 7
evolutions (source: Omega Designs by Anton Kreuzer)
The proof reading and translation from German to English of the Book "Omega Designs" was obviously done in a hurry, "buttelin" should be bulletin and refers to the C.O.S.C. certificate from Neuchâtel, Switzerland also known as "The Observatory", Besides timing contests, the "Obervatoire" (French spelling) is certifying the accuracy of watch calibers in different positions and during different temperatures. Today many watches are mounted in a rack, then digital pictures record the position of the second hands. See a sample of a C.O.S.C certificate here. The cost of the certification are ca. USD 52 (late 90ies) and due to dropping and tighter margins, many watch manufacturers can not afford to certify their calibers anymore. USD 50 for the certification will have an impact of USD 300 (rule of thumb) on the price tag. C.O.S.C. stands for "Official Swiss Chronometer Control" and Chronometer is nothing else then watch, from Greek "chronos" (time) and "meter " (measure). The original French name is "Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres". Still, I recommend "Omega Designs" by Anton Kreuzer for the Omega collector because it contains pictures of many rare Omega designs.
Click on the last picture below to read on >>>
FAB. SUISSE stands for "Manufactured in Switzerland" (French fabrique), ACIER INOXYDABLE stands for stainless steel -
Movement shows some marks from rotor play
The watch obviously has a service history. I am not sure how to interpret the engraved "1956" since Shugart's estimate production year of the serial number of the movement is ca. 1965 or ca. 1966 to 1968 according to A. Kreuzer. It is of course possible that this was one of the very first Seamaster watch cases issued in 1956. Omega would probably know when exactly the case with the serial number 166.002 was manufactured. Important is, that it is a genuine Omega case back

Justin Timberlake has joined forces with T.I. for his upcoming album, the rapper revealed today.
T.I., real name Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., said he features on Timberlake's comeback LP 'The 20/20 Experience' and added that he was delighted to see Justin back in the studio again.
Speaking to MTV, he said he had been in the studio with Timberlake and producer and songwriter Timbaland, who works a lot with the singer.
T.I. said: "I did a record for them at the end of last year. They were working on a record together, and I had the pleasure of assisting them on their particular record.
"I think it's called 'Goodbye Homey', one of them is, and then there is another one; I did maybe two or three records with them."
And he said that it was good to see Justin back in the charts, adding: "It's just great that he's back into doing music. The record he has out with Jay right now is phenomenal. It was definitely a sound that was missed."
The record with Jay-Z, called 'Suit & Tie', has already reached number 3 in the UK charts and number four in the US and 'The 20/20 Experience' will be released in the UK on March 18 and the following day in the US.
T.I., 32, started his music career in 2000 when he formed the hip hop group Pimp Squad Clique with his childhood friends and is also the founder and CEO of Grand Hustle Records.
He has released eight studio albums - the seventh one while he was serving prison time in 2010 - and has collaborated with stars such as Kayne West, Jay-Z and Rihanna.

Happy Monday!
The Clippers Viewing Party at Hooters Santa Monica was pretty fun. There was a good Clippers crowd and the wings are always delicious.
I'm heading to Arizona this weekend to see Cardinals vs Bears, and MAYBE Clippers vs Suns right after the football game. I never did a double-header like this before, so I'm pretty excited if I don't party too hard at the tailgate.
A week before Christmas, I hope everyone is finishing up with their Christmas shopping.
Finally, with everything that has happened this past week and even the year, this holiday season make sure to spread the love to everyone around you.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks to AmericanBrew for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a white head. The aroma is basic stout. I get a lot of roasted malt and chocolate notes. The flavor is more of the same. The chocolate and roasted malt dominate the flavor and the beer is very dry. I wish there was a little bit more sweetness to the beer, which I think would help it out overall. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #41 (Jun 2010):
Hops and honey grace this Stout. Big head nearly overflows; opaque presence shouts "Stout!" Burnt sugar and charcoal with some earth citric hop in the aroma. The smoothness in the medium body enhances the drinkabil- ity a lot. Bittersweet, dark chocolate is mild though the char, and hop bitterness is quick to take a bite at the palate. Hints of dark fruit, dried plum and currants come to mind. Bittersweetness rides into the finish. A little complex, but very drinkable.

3.65/5 rDev +5.8%
Black with tight brown frothy head and good retention. Roasty…herbal soap? Balanced roasted malts and chocolate biscuit with light plum sweetness and moderate bitter lingering. Slight alcohol taste. Smooth, moderate body with a light fuzz.
Nice balanced stout with good flavor though I'm not entirely certain about the aromas given off. A little light on the feel but it gives the impression of being a full bodied beer making it a well-crafted, fairly complex stout.

3.55/5 rDev +2.9%
Served in straight pint glass. The beer poured very foamy, the bartender had trouble getting a full pour, and ended with a thick full head that had good retention and lacing. The beer itself was the expected black and not translucent at all.
The aroma had a lot of rich, full scents, as expected for the style. Most noticeable were the roasted aromas, with some coffee mixed in. On the tongue the coffee flavors dominated of the roast tastes and the expected malty grain.
The body was very good, full and tongue coating without being overly heavy or sticky. Drinkability was good, but as I don't like coffee, I wouldn't have more than one of these at a sitting, YMMV.
Overall, a decent, slightly better than average example of the style, worth your time if you see it.

pours a jet black with a thin brown head that dissipates quickly, and some lacing.
smell is of malt, cocoa, and some nuts in the back.
taste is smooth, cocoa, some coffee, and a little sour malt, ends a little on the dry side.
overall an okay stout.

2.55/5 rDev -26.1%
Got this in a 22oz bomber from 99 Bottles in Federal Way. Bottle label has an enlarged section of jute rope with a black background with subdued lettering (STOUT) denoting the beer's name. Poured at a cold temp (whatever my frige is at) into a pint glass.
A- poor mustering of a head, light crust of brown floats atop the beer despite an elevated pour. Thin ring of lace clings to the glass encircling the body of the beer. Beer body is black, when held up to the light hues of red can be detected around the bottom parabola of the glass.
S- smells like a Guiness. Almost no aroma, slightest caramel can be coaxed from its depths, followed by black roasted grain.
T- Roasted bitterness greets you, followed by a slight yeasty twang. The roasted bitterness almost hides a sweet malt flavor hiding towards the back. I get coffee, heavy coffee flavors and bitterness, almost to the point of overwhelming. There isn't much depth that I can find in this. I'm searching and all I can taste is the roast bitter and coffee. It is almost tiresome trying to drink this, I could have poured a shot in some construction site coffee left on the grounds overnight and got a similar taste.
M- Appropriate for a stout of this ABV (7% I'm thinking?), it knocks back just fine and leaves a light syrup blanket on the back of the tongue.
D- Not too horrible, but the roast and coffee bitterness keeps me from wanting to drink more. Pretty sad considering I am an avid stout fan. I dunno, maybe I'm off my game tonight so I might have to re-review this at a later date.

Scientists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game have joined average Americans in the class of folks now banned from their own country's national wildlife refuges.
Until the federal government shutdown is over, state wildlife biologists are prohibited from venturing onto an area about the size of the state of Nevada, according to Larry Bell, acting deputy regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska. The reasons are unclear.
"We are not able to allow state management activities on national wildlife refuge lands during the government shutdown caused by a lapse in appropriations," Bell said in a Thursday email to Alaska Director of Wildlife Doug Vincent-Lang, who was baffled by the action. The state, he said, already has federal permits for all studies on refuges. For locations it has similar arrangements with the National Park Service to study, permits are being honored.
'Absolutely no reason for this'
When Park officials were sent home on furlough, he said, park officials actually gave state scientists the keys to a park cabin in Northwest Alaska so they would have some place to stay while doing research. "You gotta wonder what's going on," Vincent-Lang said. "There's absolutely no reason for this."
Bell did not answer phone calls or emails sent to his office Friday; his email account was working earlier this week.
On Wednesday, according to records obtained by Alaska Dispatch, Vincent-Lang messaged Bell, wanting advice on how the refuge closure might affect Fish and Game operations.
"Larry," the message said, "I was reading your closure order. My read of it indicates that since refuge lands are closed to entry it prohibits us from entry to conduct routine research and management activities. Is this read correct? I don't want our staff arrested for illegal entry. We have several activities planned so I need an answer relatively quickly."
The next day, Bell messaged that "your read of the letter is correct."
Bell did, however, offer to help state officials get into a storage safe in Dillingham, a community in the Western part of the state, where drugs for immobilizing wildlife are kept. Some wildlife studies require animals to be darted with tranquilizers before being fitted with radio-collars.
"I understand that there is a need to access a storage vault or safe at Dillingham in order to provide safe storage of immobilization drugs and that the storage vault is maintained on refuge property," Bell wrote. "We can allow the use of the vault as a health-and-safety issue during your capture operations."
Official double-speak
Federal land managers in the 49th state have used the "health-and-safety issue" in a number of cases to try to circumvent orders from Washington, D.C., that ordered all U.S. wildlife refuges closed. Boat ramps along the Kenai River in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge south of Anchorage have been kept open for safety even though refuge officials have said the boat launches are closed, which has led to some interesting official double-speak.
Officially, federal officials say the refuge is "closed." Unofficially, they admit the boat launches remain open for "safety" reasons. People aren't supposed to drive in and use the launches, but they can.
And if that isn't confusing enough, there's more.
Bell earlier this week messaged the state that "all refuge lands have been closed to all activity except subsistence...."
"Subsistence," as defined by the federal government, is hunting, fishing or gathering by rural Alaska residents. Rural Alaska residents are basically those Alaskans living outside the greater Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau areas.
So the 72 million acres of refuge lands in Alaska closed to the public are really only closed to Alaskans from urban areas, or visitors to Alaska from the Lower 48 states, except that it appears refuge officials are also generally overlooking that closure as well.
Nobody asked to leave
There have been no reports of anyone being asked to leave a refuge or National Park Service lands in Alaska, as has happened in the Lower 48, where both the refuges and parks are closed. For instance, Arizona Republic Media reported 21 people have been cited for "attempting hikes or trying to sneak in through dirt roads" in Grand Canyon National Park.
That has not happened in the 49th state, and some Alaskans have expressed pleasure that all the federal actions have actually done so far is provide them with private fishing playgrounds.
Competition for the best fishing spots on the upper Kenai River dropped dramatically after fishing guides with permits to take clients onto refuge lands were asked not to do so. Most -- if not all -- appear to be abiding with the request for fear of repercussions if they don't.
The guiding shutdown spoiled the fishing trips of most tourists and a few Alaskans, but made it less crowded for others. Whether those Alaskans lucky enough to have obtained coveted permits to hunt Kodiak brown bears will have a similar experience remains to be seen.
The bear season on the big island in the Gulf of Alaska opens Oct. 25. Hunting guides with permits to use the Kodiak National Widlife Refuge, which blankets most of the island, have been told they can't guide clients there as long as the federal shutdown continues.
All non-resident hunters are required to hire a guide for safety reasons. A continuing government shutdown and refuge closure would prevent non-residents from hunting and cost guides tens of thousands of dollars.
The consequences for Alaskans are less clear. The Kodiak brown bear seasons are considered "trophy hunts" and thus fail to qualify for the subsistence exemption allowing some Alaskans to use refuges, but the blind eye turned to recreational use of the Kenai refuge would make it appear Alaskans might be allowed to hunt.
Is closure legal?
Brad Palach, the natural resources manager for state Fish and Game, refused to answer any questions as to what hunters might expect. It was Palach who first raised the issue of refuge closures in Alaska.
"Has the Alaska Region of the USFWS issued any official closure notices based on 50 CFR 36.42 or other appropriate venue?" he queried Bell on Monday. "That seems to be the only administrative mechanism to close refuge lands in Alaska to public access. Please understand that I'm not taking a potshot, just trying to seek clarification of how the closures are being administered."
Nine minutes later, Bell messaged back that everything was closed.
Vincent-Lang said the state questions whether the blanket closure of huge swaths of public land is even legal, and he added that Gov. Sean Parnell has asked Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to explain the inconsistency in how Interior Department agencies have handled management of undeveloped public lands.
The Bureau of Land Management left open lands under its jurisdiction. The wildlife and park service closed all lands, but the park service allowed previously permitted activities -- including guiding -- to continue.
"It makes no sense," Vincent-Lang said.
"They're just adding more fuel to the fire," said Rod Arno of the Alaska Outdoor Council, an advocacy group.
Relationships between state and federal resource managers have long been contentious in Alaska, where the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act gave federal authorities fish and wildlife management powers over more land than any other state.

Jets-Browns matchup of the day: Tuesday
Mark Sanchez's showing vs. the Browns' secondary will go a long way in determining who wins this Sunday. Here's a closer look at a matchup to watch in Sunday's Jets-Browns game.
The Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker James-Michael Johnson and defensive back T.J. Ward on injured reserve with knee injuries.||||||| Both Johnson, a rookie, and Ward were starters for a defense that allows 22.1 points per game. Ward had 68 tackles and one interception.
Ward has appealed a $25,000 fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday at Dallas, and said the NFL's rules on vicious hits need to be changed.||||||| Ward received a letter from the league on Wednesday informing him of the penalty for hitting Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. Ward said replays conclusively show he did not touch any part of Ogletree's head. Ward said Ogletree was falling as he delivered his hit, which made it appear worse than it was. It's the second time Ward has been fined for a blow to the head.
The Browns have placed safety T.J. Ward on injured reserve with a sprained right foot.||||||| Ward started eight games before getting hurt on Nov. 6 against Houston. The team had been hopeful he would be able to return, but Ward's foot never got well enough for him to be activated. The hard-hitting Ward, a second-round draft picks last season, made 38 tackles and forced one fumble. Browns coach Pat Shurmur was pleased with Ward's development and said he "was playing at a high level" prior to his injury. Shurmur said Ward will not need surgery "at this point."
Ward is not practicing again and will likely miss Sunday's game against St. Louis.||||||| Ward sustained an unspecified foot injury last week in Houston and was placed in a cast. He has not been seen at the team's training facility all week. Usama Young will likely fill in for Ward. Young was practicing with the first-team defense on Friday after sitting out the past two days with a hip injury.
Ward's right foot remains immobilized inside a cast, leaving Cleveland's secondary with a very noticeable limp.||||||| Ward missed his second day of practice Thursday with the injury he sustained last week in Houston, and coach Pat Shurmur said there's a "very good chance" the hard-hitting safety will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. "I don't want to rule him out yet," Shurmur said.

RAWALPINDI: Sunday may be a fun day for many but not for Saqib Mehmood who spoiled his weekend in search of gas to run his car and burn the kitchen stove.
"I went to a CNG station at Chaudhry Bostan Khan Road to get my car's tank filled but there was a long queue. I moved to three other filling stations but there were more than 70 cars already waiting. At last, I decided to go to Airport Road but when it was my turn in a filling station, some officials from the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines (SNGPL) arrived and stopped the supply," he said.
After failing to get the cheap fuel for his car, Mr Mehmood opted for petrol. But the whole exercise took five hours. More embarrassment was waiting for him when he reached home. His angry wife informed him that there was no gas to cook food.
Upon this, Mr Mehmood lifted the LPG cylinder on his shoulders and reached a nearby filling agency. But, there was another long queue. He visited three other shops and managed to get the cylinder filled after over two hours. It was only in the evening that his wife could prepare food for the family.
Mr Mehmood is among hundreds of people in Rawalpindi and Islamabad who have been facing low gas pressure and shortage of CNG for the last many weeks.
Sunday was the fourth consecutive CNG closure day. The motorists continued shuttling from one filling station to another in search of the fuel, but to no avail.
However, CNG stations owned by some influential people at R.A. Bazaar, Benazir Bhutto Road, Islamabad Expressway, Chauhdry Bostan Khan Road, Range Road and Airport Road remained open in the morning. They continued supply till SNGPL officials accompanied by the police forced them to close the stations.
Meanwhile, the domestic consumers in many areas faced low pressure of gas. "The gas pressure is so low that it hardly catches fire," said Sahil Ahmed, a resident of College Road.
Mohammad Imran, a resident of Yousuf Colony, said they had been facing gas shortage for the last two weeks. He said when there was not enough gas why the SNGPL had issued new connections to filling stations and other industrial units.—Aamir Yasin

These fit a bit better than the comparable Icebreaker boxers (at least for me) and don't ride up nearly as much. I love the natural anti-stink properties.
Great Fit and Material
January 20, 2010
Great fit and nice soft material. Works well in various temperatures.
August 25, 2011
These underwear are softer than the all polyester micro dry material they are also a bit more breathable and less restricting, great underwear, really comfortable.Pros: Great design, Performance
Top-notch underwear for warm-weather travel.
August 02, 2010
So comfortable you don't want to take them off. I bought them for traveling, especially warm-weather travel (Central America). Did a few test runs before upcoming trip and amazing how easily they hand-wash and completely dry by next morning. Not sure how the material will hold up over time, but so far so good. Bought 2 other pair so complete the underwear fleet for trips to the tropics. Liked the Smartwool material so much I also bought a t-shirt of same / similar fabric for hiking. $45 is a splurge, for sure, but if they deliver out in the field, will be well worth it.
works like a dream
April 15, 2011
These boxers don't immediately stink after wearing them like synthetics. They maintain their fit whether you've worn them for a long day or you just pulled them out of the dryer.
good feel
February 01, 2012
This Boxer is made by WOOL.But very easy to use. Wool material is thought to hand wash and flat dry. But this is able to use washing machine and dryer. I will buy another one.Pros: Performance, Ease of use
Smartwool boxer
February 12, 2011
I was looking for durable , lightweight base layer for winter hiking . The smartwool boxer has been great for cold weather hiking and everyday use . A little pricey but seems to be very high quality and is holding up very well to machine washing . Amazing product comfortable in cold or inside .
September 05, 2011
the smartwool next to skin boxers are as good as they get. sure the price is a bit steep, but it gets you the standard in comfort and quality that one expects from smartwool. the fit runs rather small, but everything else considering, they are a great buy. especially, if you can find them somewhat marked down. thanks again ALTREC!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: Cost
Great product!
June 14, 2010
I was a bit apprehensive about trying these wool shorts for a hot summer 14-mile hike in Big Bend National Park, Texas. However these shorts performed excellently and wicked the moisture away just as well as any Under Armor shorts. Highly recommended!
Great Boxers
November 06, 2012
Smart wool has done it again. The microweight merino wool boxer is cool and comfortable. The design is great making fit relaxed. They're much superior to the classic cotton boxers from Dept. stores.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Good Product
April 28, 2011
These Merino wool boxer briefs are the best underwear I've every worn. They are comfy, not scratchy and when hiking long distances they protect me from rashes. They can be worn in hot or cold weather, great especially in the cold. They say merino wool keeps you cool in hot weather but that is not my experience. I feel slightly warmer than if i were wearing cotton but it is not uncomfortable. would recommend.
These fit great!
June 12, 2010
These are the best. I have tried many wool boxers and these fit great because of the location of the seams. Besides the benefits wool gives, such as no stink and taking the sweat away from your body Smartwool will not shrink like other competitors when placed in a dryer.
June 17, 2011
I've worn Smartwool socks for years and thought I'd give their boxers a try. Can't believe I waited so long. These are absolutely the best; soft and strong at the same time.
August 10, 2009
I never thought wool would be comfortable and breathable. These are amazingly comfortable and keep me cool whether hiking or sitting on a hot airplane. I would highly recommend these. Fast, friendly service from Altrec too.
December 10, 2010
I bought these for my fiance for field training and he loved them. They completely wick the sweat away. They are pricey but well worth it. He was the only one in the group who avoided heat rashes! Thanks to Smart Wool he stayed dry!
Best Boxers I have owned.
October 11, 2010
I am new to the world of Boxer Briefs. I have tried other styles and have had issues with the leg riding up and staying up with any extended range of motion. Not with these! They fit true to size and are the most comfortable boxers I have owned to date. They are great for daily wear. I have washed and line dried them several times with no shrinking. Great product Smartwool, worth every penny.
his new favorite boxers
February 27, 2012
I gave my husband a pair of these boxers for Christmas and he LOVES them - and asked me to get him another pair. Soft, comfy, warm and wicking all at the same time.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Performance, warm as well as wicking
excellent comfort
May 17, 2009
Although i have not used these in multi day situations, these boxer-briefs are supremely comfortable and keep chafing problems from occurring.
Highly Recommended
December 22, 2010
I have been a convert to merino boxers for a few years now and the microweight Smartwool product is the best I have tried. They are an ideal fit - neither too baggy or snug -and do not ride up my thighs which is my acid test. For day hikes or longer expeditions they are lightweight, durable and quick drying. Expensive but great value for money.
So far, so good
August 29, 2008
Decided to give these a try as an alternative to the synthetics I've been using. Biggest issue with the synthetics has been odor control on multi-day trips in the mountains. The smartwool boxers have really proven themselves on the first couple outings. They have a looser fit, yet are still very comfortable and no odor even with multiple uses between washings.
Wool Boxers
April 11, 2012
I got these boxers because I have enjoyed the wool baselayer tops that I have been using and I was looking to replace an old pair of Patagonia capilene boxers. I wear these under my ski pants because long underwear is too hot for me. I have now worn these for a couple of day trips and a quick one night trip. I found them to be comfortable and they do not ride up. The fit is a little weird though, they are very baggy, as if I should pull them up to my ribs. This has not been a problem for comfort so I am fine with it.
Comfortable & Functional
January 03, 2010
Great in any situation- sizes run a little small.
Smartwool ROCKS
December 28, 2009
I added these boxers to my cold weather running gear. Smartwool keeps you warm even when they are wet and amazingly it never smells! How did they do that?
Great purchase
March 23, 2011
These boxers were purchased for a five month long trek with varying temperatures and believe they are up for the challenge. The wool is very soft with no itch factor and high breathe-ability. Size medium is perfect for 160 lbs, five foot nine. These are well worth the money and I plan on purchasing several more pair in the future.
Smartwool gives you superhero powers.
December 08, 2010
Ok, just kidding. I am a new fan of Smartwool products. These boxers were one of the first Smartwool products I purchased. Once I did, I realized that you get what you pay for. I bought these mainly for canoe/kayak/camping excursions but these would be great even for everyday use if you are spoiled (or rich). After buying these, I have purchased their long underwear, a long sleeve shirt and a cuffed beanie hat. All I can say is that this stuff is awesome. Yes, it is expensive but it is worth it. Go ahead and buy the cheaper stuff and discover that you don't like it or end up using it for an oil rag. Whatever right? Go ahead and buy a Smartwool product. If you don't like it, you can say I was wrong.
Best Boxers
December 05, 2010
These are the best merino boxers on the market. I also have Icebreaker and Arc Teryx merino boxers. The Smartwool boxers have a perfect fit and do not ride up the leg like the others. I bought multiple pairs. Just wish there were bigger sales on these.
expected beter
January 23, 2012
im a fan of smartwooll, the product seemed ok but I had a few issues with the rough feel of the fabric and the seams and stitches are in the wrong places and are rough/itchy. I purchased the Icebreakers Beast briefs insteadCons: Bad design
best boxers ever
October 13, 2010
Now had these boxers for close to a year very comfortable don't smell and wash well, I now only wear smartwool boxers, great fitfit
Excellent shorts for active-wear
July 21, 2010
Very impressed with comfort and fit. And, I sweat everywhere in this part of the country regularly. Whether I'm at work and moving boxes to skateboarding on hot pavement... the shorts do the job of wicking away moisture. Purchased many Smartwool items over time, but... in this case... the most functionality comes from the clothing article least seen.
Fantastic and versatile
February 23, 2008
These underwear are great for outdoor activities, over a broad range of temps. I ran with them in the cold of a Wisconsin winter, and a California marathon. They do not chafe, and do not stink, or fit too snugly around the waistline. Very well worth the investment. Better than synthetics.
great fit and function
March 17, 2012
I bought these as a gift for a friend. He loves them. They are soft and don't ride up. The waistband is smooth and comfortable. The only downside is the price.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: Cost
Boxer King
January 25, 2010
Men's Microweight Boxer are by far the best pair of underwear I have ever owned. Fit's very nice, not tight, and the best part is you don't even realize your wearing anything, very light. There is no odor so you can keep them on all week.
Excellent comfort
June 14, 2009
Great fit and comfortable under any short.
Unusual sizing
May 08, 2012
The legs of these boxers were unexpectedly flowing and wide, and the waist was much larger than the advertised range. I ordered Patagonia Capilene 1 boxer briefs in the comparable waist size and those fit just fine. If you do order the SmartWool boxers, I suggest ordering one size smaller than you normally would, and be prepared for wide legs.Pros: soft and lightweight fabric, Cons: wide-leg design
WELL worth the money
March 22, 2010
Are these boxer briefs expensive ? Of course. Are they worth the money ? DEFINITELY and here's why... In order to test the "stench" control of these featherweight wool boxers vs. the same style synthetic ones I ordinarily wear,I wore a pair of each type continuously over a four day period in relatively cold wet weather and under moderate exertion each day. After day two, the synthetic pair (from a well-known supplier of outdoor clothing)was very noticeably "smelly", "clingy" and beginning to chafe. I experienced virtually none of either problem with these wool boxer briefs even after four days wearing and probably could have worn them longer if necessary. I was originally concerned about shrinkage of these boxer briefs in the wash given the wool material and their featherweight but after repeated warm water washing/rinsing and air drying there was none: the fit was virtually identical to the fit when new. As to sizing, I'm a 33 waist and found the medium just fine- they stretch ever so slightly after being on a bit and cover the groin area most susceptible to chafing without being overly constricting or "riding up", a problem that seems inherent to most synthetic boxer briefs (at least the two different brands I used previously). I have now replaced ALL of the synthetic boxer briefs I previously had with these and expect to have them a very long time based on the wear to date, which is negligible. Bottom line: BUY these- you won't stink, they'll wear like iron and you won't get "chafed" off the trail.
super soft boxer brief!

Awsome fit very comfy look great and wear even better. Well worth the scrilla.
Very good product

True to fit, wool without itch. These are very lightweight boxers with a very smart combination of breathability and warmth. Sweat does not build up - an excellent baselayer for cooler weather activities. Waistband is a bit narrow and not very flexible, so it's tight going on over the hips. Once on it's very comfy - wear and forget about it! Does not ride up like some other brands.
So comfortable
May 06, 2010
Love these. Extremely comfy and smell-proof. Will definitely get more.
Excellent Product
April 12, 2010
Sometimes I feel like the Smartwool ambassador. I love these products. On a recent trip the weather went from snow to high temps and wearing these boxers was perfect. I was always comfortable. Well worth the $$'s
5 Stars!
May 24, 2010
These Smartwool boxers are extremely lightweight and extremely comfortable. I loved them so much I ordered a 2nd pair as soon as my first one arrived. I'm going to order a 3rd pair now! Order them, you won't be disappointed!
April 18, 2010
After using regular cotton underwear and spandex, I never thought I would own boxers this comfortable. Friends thought I was crazy for spending $45.00 on underwear, but they are worth every penny. I've worn these all weekend backpacking, realized I didn't do laundry and worn them on Monday as well without any smell or discomfort. Thinking of buying a second pair and throwing out my normal cotton boxer-briefs.
The anti-wedgie
November 09, 2010
Started training for a marathon and found that I needed some undies that wouldn't ride up. I picked up two pairs of these boxers and have been running in them for about two weeks, absolutely no buyers remorse. They are pricey, but well worth it.
everything and more
November 19, 2010
I was needing something for my trips that would fold small but yet be comfortable. This fits that and then some. The flat seams helps with chaffing and you can wash this in the sink at night and will be dry or lightly damp by the morning. You can roll it in a dry towel to help remove extra water before hanging it in your room. It worked out so well that I got a few more for my upcoming trips.

How can we bring about true gender equality?
One sad truth that leapt out at me from this talk is the power-gap between genders. Amy Cuddy mentioned how male MBA students participate in the classroom with power poses and female MBA students don't. She mentioned how this illuminates the underlying power-differential between genders in the MBA class.
I would posit that this power-differential extends beyond the MBA classes and can be found everywhere. Regardless of whether it exists universally or just in MBA classes, I find it disappointing that even in this modern day and age of supposed gender equality, we have evidence that that women feel powerless and men don't.
So, I ask:
1) What are your thoughts on the root causes of this?
2) Do you believe it is something we should change?
3) Do you believe it is something we can change?
4) What will it take to bring about true gender equality?
Go ahead! Change the world in 2000 chrs or less!
Jan 30 2013: First, you have to be clear on what you mean by true gender equality. You haven't really defined what that means. It is hard to reach a goal if you don't know where it is.
I think you are incorrect about men not feeling powerless. It is true that it is mostly men that hold positions of power, but you must realize that for 99% of men those are other men.
Kumar GautamJan 19 2013: Here's my response in the form of poetry
Jan 11 2013: this topic is of great interest to me..and I have spent much time observing in order to form my opinions. I am not aboriginal,black.or from tibet...but I care deeply about what happens in places of hardship...nor am I a polar bear...but I worry about diminishing ice floes......everyone has a mother..and yet I have met only ONE man who is a feminist...Men are enjoying advantages taken from woman for decades and are not going to willingly give way...WE say we love our mothers...but where is the films on the history of women,,,where are the churches with GOD depicted as a woman,where are the galleries showing how women show their impressions of painting,,sculptures...Everytime i mention the bias,men will comment about their own suffering...yes,they suffer too..and yet the fallout from centuries of women lacking in opportunity,resources..is the FACTOR of why families are under such stress,why men have such trouble relating to women...the inequality is the source of a chicken and egg syndrome that places all famiiles at the mercy of external forces as they tempt each male away from home with false stories of warrior cult and the companies disguised as male identity .All loyalty to the mother is diminished after years of indoctrination to propaganda about the superior value of male based events...all of which is completely second hand learning. The end result is imprisonment in a system that has no interest in the welfare of its males or females only its own perpetuation...Women will always be fragmented as long as all men jump ship for the perks of male solidarity...and what is the most profound is few are able to see the confines of the illusion they participate in.
Jan 11 2013: I can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the inequality is a roots created phenomenon I will convince directly from common personal experience...allow me a few sentences so the point may reveal itself....Dinosaurs are taught in school,no one has actually seen a live one and to find them it took extensive work to locate,piece together evidence and create this body of fact. great effort was made...it is taught in school...Now everyone has seen a woman,,all humans have had a mother in some form...most of them % wise work for children for 12 years,for free...weve seen them in our homes,taking us to doctors,making food,clothes,ect...this time period and free labour is essential to humanity...and yet not one day in my entire school life was the importance and contributions spoken of...so I know about the importance of dinosaurs...but half of the planets work is never talked of as relevant...if this is not some crafty editing to diminish the view of half the population..our mothers.... I cannot explain all the missing hours of work and sacrifice in any other way...no dinosaur ever contributed to my experiences..anyone feel free to explain this FACT.
Robert Galway 50+Jan 7 2013: 1. I think there will always be a physical power difference between men and women, and this feeling of power superiority/inferiority at a basic level will manifest itself different ways in different people.
2. & 3. I do not believe time spent trying to change things related to a physical power difference is going to be time well spent.
4. What is equal when the genders will always be different? There are natural differences, both physically and mentally. I think the goal should be equality in the workplace, the eyes of the law, and other facets of society.
I think each gender brings a different set of skills, intelligence levels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences), experiences, and personality traits to the workplace or anywhere else. These should be recognized and understood by opportunistic managers and entrepreneurs, then related to the likelihood for success in the job, assignment, or customer base. Until the perceptions of these decision makers are changed, the decisions will be based on what they believe to be truth at the time, or in the best interest of the business or activity.
So perhaps one way of equaling the playing field is to highlight the areas of common work opportunities in which women typically function at a better, more effective or higher level then men. Perhaps relate how these skill sets can improve the bottom line, reduce risk or lead to a more effective organization. Maybe a metric can be developed for quantifying these skills in a scientific way. Once this type of research is conducted (perhaps it already has), then perhaps groups sensitive to injustices in the workplace can attend HR conferences and effectively sell the value of these attributes to decision makers and gradually reduce existing imbalances.
A TED talk devoted to such an effort might be very interesting!
Jan 19 2013: Contrary to political correctness and '70's feminism, men and women are inherently different. We're psychologically, emotionally and intellectually different. No amount of social engineering can eliminate those differences. One thing we must realize: difference does not equal inferiority. We say "celebrate diversity". I agree, but must we not recognize and appreciate diversity to celebrate it, rather than trying to eliminate it? I believe in full equality between the sexes in terms of equality before the law, equal pay for equal work, equal opportunities for education, etc. but, trying to make women the same as men is to destroy their individuality and personality as females. Don't try to be some weak carbon-copy of a male; be your own full color original. Lastly as to female 'powerlessness": I once heard of a conversation between two women. They younger was complaining to the older about how men abuse their power. (Yes, sigh, it happens.) The older women asked, "If you could choose between power and influence, which would you choose?" The younger woman thought for a bit, then said, "influence". The older one replied, "that's what you chose before God sent you here; that's why you're female." Ever see the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? The mother and daughter are discussing how the man is the head of the house, and mom says, yes, man is the head, but woman is the neck and she can turn that head any which way she chooses. Men have the power? Women have the counter balance to it and need to learn to use their feminine gifts for the good of the society. Best wishes.
Jan 11 2013: What are your thoughts on the root causes of this?
that by nature woman and man are suppose to play different roles...they are equal however they need to be in a team...they specialize in different aspects of life
2) Do you believe it is something we should change?
i dont think so....what we should change is the respect given to each other should be equal. for example a housewive do a lot of hardwork to maintain the house and the working man do alot to maintain the house by means of th emoney he provide....so the man shouldnt think being a housewive is a lower job....but i personally dont belive in forcing women to go out and work...because in that situation we lose more than we gain...we have to both take care of the house and also work...while the man just go to work and cant do housework properly...and its actually natural that man have the need to be the dominant...u cant change dat its natural...
3) Do you believe it is something we can change?
not until u can actually see a guy with a skirt without laughing at him
4) What will it take to bring about true gender equality?
well operate all the man to be women or all operate all the woman to become man...u know transgender do surgery...do it for everyone then its possible
Jan 7 2013: Very interesting question. There's obviously a huge number of different factors in this, and every person is different as well. The most basic cause of gender inequality is that male and female humans are physically different. They have different hormone balances, different physical strength, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my experience women generally are more emotional and struggle with self-esteem more then men do. Part of this is hormonal in nature I think. So that might contribute to a lack of confidence or assertiveness. I also think American pop culture has a huge impact on young girls as well. There's a lot of material out there that suggests that the only thing a girl is good for is her sex value. And if you don't buy (beauty product being advertised), you won't have sex value. If you're not skinny you're worthless, etc. However, I am curious about how you define gender equality. Women will never do all the same things men do. Men will never do all the same things women do. That's just fine in my book. We're different, it's ok to have different roles. However I do believe that there is a respect that needs to be shown to both genders, without slotting them into a role they don't want to be in. Every person is free to choose what they want, and I do believe that people should be able to pursue that goal without being hampered by prejudice. If a woman wants to be a executive, that's fine by me. If she wants to be a homemaker, that's also just fine. So what is "true gender equality" according to you, Esther?
Jan 7 2013: I believe that the whole idea of gender has actually been changed drastically in the past year or so. Gay, bisexual, transgender, and other communities have always existed, but not until recently have they become more of a hot issue and been prevalent in the world. So the question becomes what makes a woman or man? Is it what anatomy they have? Is it their sexual preferences? Is it what they personally think they are? All around me I do not just see women being put below straight men, but gay men as well. It is not just women suffering from gender inequality. It is true that the white straight male has is dominate in our western society and males in general have more power, but it's not just over people who define themselves as women. The problem is not as black as white as female and male, but with the rise of people who identify themselves as more than those two things, it is time to look at gender equality in a bigger sense.
Jan 6 2013: Religion is a major cause of inequality between women and men.
It is something we must change if we choose to live healthfully, peacefully, happily ever after.
It is something we must change.
Eliminating the ancestral brainwashing done by the religions would be a good starting place. Stop brainwashing children in religions. Vote for women only until there is an equal distribution of women and men in public offices. Have corporations with a disproportionate number of males with higher salaries and positions pay higher taxes than corporations with equal distributions of power between males and females.
Jan 6 2013: This phenomenon may differ greatly by location.
For example, there are countries in which girls are specifically not allowed to be educated or expected to be educated, whereas colleges in the US are more than 50% female, law schools almost 50%, medical schools about 50%.
Girls perform better in secondary school and graduate at higher rates than boys do. As you write from Canada, Esther, perhaps you can share how it looks "on the ground" there.
I would need to see better evidence of the universal sense of powerlessness you posit, which is why the case of Canada might prove useful as evidence.
Jan 5 2013: Well, I think your conversation would be more powerful if you'd make it more specific. Women feel powerless to do what? Men feel powerful to do what? In fact, your conversation would become the most powerful if you'd make it personal. Is there something you'd like to do that you don't have "the power" to do? What is it? Maybe you have the power and you don't realize it, maybe the TED community can help you figure out how to do it.
Jan 5 2013: XY chromosome pairs result in a different being than XX chromosome pairs. The two genders will NEVER be equal. Gender equality is an oxymoron, a physical impossibility. There is a grammatical error in your phrasing. Do you mean to ask how can we rid the world of gender based bias which results in unfair or unjust business practices? If that's what you mean, it's easy. Just pass laws and establish company regulations forbidding such conduct. Most of the Western world is using that system currently. I don't know what can be done for nations/religions who do not recognize the rights of one gender. Maybe they should change their nation/religion.
Jan 7 2013: that was laughable. consider understanding there's a difference between gender and sex and using the words accordingly. you could say the two sexes will never be equal (even then, there's people that don't fall in the sex binary), but gender equality is a very real thing. gender isn't physical.
Jan 8 2013: Do you still insist, Mr./Miss/Mrs/Ms/ ? Brewer, that gender and sex are different? If so that is why your belief is mistaken. In this discussion we are not talking about the classification of nouns and pronouns. We are talking about injustice and unfairness being foisted upon a person based solely on the fact that they are female (XX chromosomes), or male (XY chromosomes). Again, do you have a point to make as a participant in this conversation? It's OK if you don't, but please stop replying to me if you don't. Thank you!
Jan 8 2013: I'll bet that reading that hypothetical "huge reply" is going to be one of the great losses of my life.You do realize the sum total of your exchange with me is: 1) "as expected", and 2) "I can already tell i'm going to get absolutely nowhere with you" ( I hope you do not intend anything to do with gender in that statement about getting anywhere with me). I'm sure you will understand if I do not respond to any further replies from you to me personally. Use your one-on-one time with someone more intelligent than me.
Jan 5 2013: ' I find it disappointing that even in this modern day and age of supposed gender equality, we have evidence that that women feel powerless and men don't.'
Whats the evidence to support the notion that said women are not feeling powerless by their own mentality? Afterall, the talk in question is about how peoples body language effects their own level of confidence.
Ill play devils advocate and put forth the possibility that men and women are different in more ways than one and thus, those differences can be made apparent in certain situations.

WELCH (WVVA) - Authorities are searching for answers after twin newborn boys were anonymously dropped off at a doorstep.
Trooper Coburn with the Welch detachment of the West Virginia State Police tells WVVA News the boys were initially left at the home of a good Samaritan in Verner, Mingo County, on June 26 -- along with a note saying to take the babies to Welch Community Hospital.
The homeowner obliged and took the boys to the hospital.
Coburn says it appears the babies were born outside a medical facility. He says the children appeared to be in good health, and are now in the custody of DHHR.
Coburn could not say if they were in the hospital or a foster home.
Authorities are now seeking the identities of the parents of the children.

|Putnam County EMS places levy on November ballot
|Friday, October 25, 2013 12:00 AM
DHI Correspondent
GLANDORF — Putnam County EMS is asking for voter approval for a .65-mill continuing levy on the Nov. 5 ballot. The levy would cost $22.50 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home.
Steve Odenweller, the Putnam County EMS Coordinator, said the levy is necessary to provide additional staffing to reduce run response times, increase volunteer reimbursement and to increase education opportunities.
Odenweller indicated that recent changes in the economy and the aging of EMS Putnam County volunteers has made it necessary to employ additional full-time EMTs and paramedics.
He said more women working and the increased requirements of continuing education for volunteers put a time crunch on volunteers who try to maintain a full-time job. Also, since 1977, Putnam County has seen a 200-percent increase in run volume, while seeing a decrease in volunteerism.
In 1977, there were 1,559 EMS runs in the county. Last year, the county had 3,090 EMS runs. The number of volunteers in the county in 1980 was 131 members. This number is currently at 103 volunteers.
"Unfortunately, this increased number of runs and decreased number of volunteers has resulted in an increase in response time for EMS calls," Odenweller said.
In 1992 the average response time in Putnam County was 8.5 minutes. Last year the average was 13.16 minutes.
"We are going in the wrong direction," the EMS director indicated. "When there is a medical emergency, it is critical that we get there as quickly as possible."
In 1998, the Medic 300 program was started in the county to maintain emergency care for Putnam County residents. The programs currently provided with this service include a round-the-clock Medic 300, which is a paramedic intercept unit that provides advanced life support. The county also has a round-the-clock Unit 301, which is an EMT intercept unit to ensure a "full crew" available for EMS runs. There is also a Unit 303 EMT, who is hired to relieve the volunteer squad from the burden of non-emergency runs.
All of this is funded by billing for runs. This levy will be the first time the PCEMS has gone to the voters for operating monies.
If county voters approve the levy, the PCEMS program will be able to hire two additional full-time positions 24/7 which would include one paramedic and one EMT. This would decrease current response time and increase advanced life support coverage in the county.
Odenweller said this will provide additional needed responders when a medical emergency occurs.
"Sometimes there is a shortage of volunteers on call in a community when a medical emergency occurs," Odenweller said. "Then we have to call out to another community for mutual assistance. This increases the response time."
He said 65 percent of runs are paged out multiple times and/or given to another squad.
"This new crew would respond as 'backup' to the volunteers," Odenweller said. "We are not eliminating our volunteer program, The levy would also provide volunteers with a $2 per hour increase for their hourly reimbursement for time on runs."
The levy money would also be used to provide community CPR, First-aid and other appropriate courses to aid in the overall well-being of the residents. These funds will also provide additional continuing education opportunities to PCEMS personnel.

FCC Approves Verizon Spectrum Bids
Washington, DC - Aug 23, 2012 - The Federal Communications Commission has concluded its review of the Verizon Wireless-SpectrumCo deal and approved four significant spectrum transfer applications involving Verizon Wireless, subject to a number of binding commitments and conditions. The applications include the assignment of AWS-1 licenses held by Cox and SpectrumCo (a joint venture among subsidiaries of Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks) to Verizon Wireless; a spectrum "swap" between Verizon Wireless and Leap; and Verizon Wireless's net assignment of AWS-1 licenses to T-Mobile.
To address staff concerns regarding spectrum concentration, Verizon Wireless undertook a divestiture of spectrum to competitor T-Mobile. In addition, the Commission's order includes enforceable commitments from Verizon Wireless to accelerate buildout of its newly acquired spectrum, as well as to offer data roaming on commercially reasonable terms and conditions:
■ Verizon Wireless must close its proposed spectrum transfer with T-Mobile within 45 days of its closing of the SpectrumCo, Cox, and Leap transactions.
■ Within three years, Verizon Wireless will provide signal coverage and offer service to at least 30 percent of the total population in the Economic Areas or the portions of Economic Areas in which it is acquiring AWS-1 license authorizations.
■ Within seven years, Verizon Wireless will provide signal coverage and offer service to at least 70 percent of the population in each Economic Area in which it is acquiring AWS-1 license authorizations.
