The right pair of athletic shoes can be an important tool to prevent injuries and keep you comfortable. Unfortunately, athletic shoe shopping can be intimidating with a sea of shoe choices and everyone claiming to have the shoe for you.
Why It Is Important to Choose the Right Shoe
Wearing the right athletic shoe will no doubt enhance your performance and provide the comfort and support you need to enjoy staying active. It is also important to help you:
Avoid Developing Foot Problems
On average, walking brings a force equal to several hundred tons on your feet each day. The proper fit and shoe for your activity help protect your feet from ailments that can develop over time. Common foot problems that may be associated with poor footwear include:
- Blisters—fluid-filled bump on the skin
- Bunions—swollen, sore bumps at the joint that connects your big toe to your foot
- Calluses—abnormal thickening of the top layer of skin
- Corns—small, thickened area of skin that forms on the toes
- Hammertoes—a toe that tends to remain bent at the middle joint in a claw-like position
You will also increase the risk of injury, which can sideline your activity plans for a long time.
Minimize Risk of Injury or Chronic Ailment
Your feet are subject to more injury than any other part of your body. Injuries that can solely be the result of failing to wear the right shoes include:
- Plantar fasciitis—the plantar fascia, a supportive, fibrous band of tissue running from the heel to the ball of the foot, is injured, resulting in pain on the bottom of the foot
- Heel spurs—calcium deposits that form where the plantar fascia connects to your heel bone
- Stress fractures—tiny cracks in your bones that develop when the repetitive impact of jogging or running overcomes the ability of the foot bones to withstand this stress
- Sesamoiditis—tenderness or inflammation at the sesamoid bones, accessory bones found beneath the large first metatarsal bone in the ball of the foot
The next step may be a little more work at first, but remember that it will be worth it in the end. When possible, shop at a store that caters to the sport in which you participate. They have the most knowledge and will make it worth your time.
What You Need to Consider in Making the Decision
Tracking down a pair of athletic shoes that is appropriate for you does not need to be an impossible task. Before you get to the store, determine if you need a new pair of shoes. Look for cracks in the sole of the shoe or worn down heels. These are clear signs it is time to toss what you are wearing. Other signs of excess wear include stiff feel in the shoe, or deformity of the upper shoe. If you have noticed pain or soreness in your feet after a workout, it could also mean you are due for new shoes.
The next thing to think about may not be so obvious. What type of feet do you have? Everyone has different feet, but they tend to fall into 3 categories:
- Pronators have a low or flat arch and tend to wear down the inner edges of their shoes. If you are a pronator, you should look for shoes that offer support for your midfoot area, which limits overuse of the inside edge of your feet.
- Supinators have a high arch and tend to wear down the outer edges of their shoes. Supinators require shoes with extra cushioning, particularly in the mid-arch area, to absorb shock and stabilize the heel.
- People with neutral feet have an average arch and tend to wear down the heels of shoes evenly. They can wear just about any type of shoe.
There seems to be an endless choice of athletic shoes. Most are designed for a specific type of activity.
When Making Your Purchase
Do not be intimidated. Generally, stores have sections of athletic shoes. You can narrow down the choices right away by finding the section that is closest to your activity. Here are some different types of athletic shoes you may find:
- Running—Runners and joggers should wear shoes that provide flexibility in the toe area and overall cushioning for impact (shock absorption). Such shoes should also have good heel control.
- Barefoot Running—Talk to a trainer before making the transition to barefoot running shoes. It is not for every type of runner and the switch needs to be done gradually. Keep in mind that barefoot running shoes may not have extra support or cushion, but will give your feet protection.
- Walking—Walkers should also look for shock absorption in the heel and especially under the ball of the foot. Walking shoes have more rigidity in the front than running shoes, so you can roll off your toes rather than bend through them.
- Aerobics—Shoes for aerobic conditioning should be lightweight to prevent foot fatigue and have extra shock absorption in the sole beneath the ball of the foot where the most stress occurs.
- Tennis—For tennis and other court sports, you will need shoes that provide stability on the inside and outside of the foot plus flexibility in the sole beneath the ball of the foot.
- Basketball—Basketball players should choose a shoe with a wider base and a thick, stiff sole to give extra stability on the court. A high-top shoe provides support when landing from a jump.
- Cross trainers—Cross trainers combine several features so you can participate in more than one sport. A good pair should have the flexibility in the forefoot that you need for running combined with the lateral control necessary for aerobics or tennis. They are fine for a general athletic shoe, but if you regularly participate in a sport, consider getting a sport-specific shoe.
- Field sports, hiking, and specialty sports—Cleats, studs, or spikes are appropriate for field sports like soccer, football, and baseball. Special hiking shoes are available for trail blazing. Likewise, for sports such as skating, hockey, golf, and bicycling, you may want to wear shoes made specifically for these activities.
You found your perfect shoe, now for the perfect fit...
Getting the Right Fit
A good fit is critical for your enjoyment and performance. Keep in mind that it is wise to go shopping after a workout or at the end of the day, when your feet will be at their largest. Also, you will want to wear the same type of sock that you will wear when you are exercising.
Next, you will want to try on several different pairs of shoes. Shoes fit properly when: There is a firm grip of the shoe to your heel. You can wiggle all of your toes. The shoes do not feel too tight or too loose.
Lastly, you should have both feet measured. Fit shoes to your larger foot. Lace your shoes beginning at the farthest eyelets; apply even pressure as you crisscross to the top of the shoe. Try on both shoes. Walk or run a few steps. The shoes should be comfortable as soon as you try them on. You should not need to break in athletic shoes to make them comfortable.
There are many things to consider when shopping for athletic shoes but after some initial research you should be able to narrow down the shoe choices for you. Then all you'll have to do is tie them on and head out the door.

Subaru Forester named Motor Trend Sport Utility of the Year
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Oct 16th, 2008 at 9:29AM
Motor Trend has gone back to the basics by picking the newly redesigned Subaru Forester as its 2008 SUV of the Year. Right off the bat, editor Arthur St. Antoine claims that the choice wasn't a reaction to high fuel prices, with the Forester posting the highest fuel efficiency in a group of contenders that includes the BMW X6, Ford Flex, Kia Borrego, Infiniti EX and FX, Nissan Murano, Toyota Sequoia, Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda Pilot, Chevy Traverse, Dodge Journey and Lexus LX570. In fact, their choice may seem somewhat surprising considering that the Forester's 2.5L flat-four engine... Read More

Kimi Raikkonen has downplayed the lack of running at Jerez on Tuesday, saying it will take time for the teams to get up to speed.
Raikkonen's first day back on track with Ferrari was not without problems as he brought out the first red flag of the day.
The Finn broke down on his opening lap with Ferrari billing it as a "precautionary stop by engineers."
He went onto cover 31 laps while the second most productive driver was Lewis Hamilton with just 18 laps.
"For sure everybody wants to see more laps and we want to do more laps, but it is pretty normal with such a big change," Raikkonen told Autosport.
"It will take a little bit of time before we can run 100 per cent all the time and not have issues.
"I think we have started pretty okay."
Raikkonen was also the quickest on the day with his 1:27.104 putting him 0.716s up on Mercedes' Hamilton.
Sharing his thoughts on his first day dealing with the new regulations, Raikkonen added: "I think the biggest challenge is getting all the new stuff working as we want, and working together.
"It is much trickier than what we are used to, but from the driving side I don't think it is an awful lot different.
"It is just the first day with all new stuff so it takes time to get things up to speed. One day to go, a lot of work to do, we know that.
"But we expected these first test days to learn things, so I really don't feel like it is such a big difference to this year or any previous one."

Untitled, from the series edited drawing No. 1, 1999–2003
duraflex print, tape
61 x 46.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor and with funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program/Oeuvre achetée avec l'aide du programme d'aide aux acquisitions du Conseil des Arts du Canada
Based on an existing image that is then collaged with tape, Paul Butler uses adhesive tape like a painter employs a brush. This work is part of a series that Butler began in 1998, which he categorizes as failed drawings that have been repaired. The torn edges of the tape reference the artist's hand. Butler employs a wide range of tapes such as duct tape, wood grain, camouflage, and transparent tapes to do these "repairs." In the artist's hands this unusual drawing medium has proven to be incredibly versatile, resulting in several interesting textural effects. Possessing a strong graphic quality, Butler's composition also embodies his wry and clever sense of humour, which permeates his entire artistic practice.

Some of the top nightgowns function as nursing gowns after the baby comes, extending their life and making them a doubly important investment.

The Right Nursing Sleepwear for You
For new moms, bedtime can be a fraught time of day. You're likely exhausted from either working or taking care of your newborn, and there are few feelings more delicious than putting on a great set of pajamas and sliding between some fresh, clean sheets. At the same time, there just might be nothing worse than having to heave yourself up out of those same sheets just a few hours later to feed your newborn! Nighttime nursing is hard, and that's why at Belly Dance Maternity we've tried to make it a little bit easier by bringing our customers the very best when it comes to nursing sleepwear and night time garments.
Belly Dance Maternity is all about helping women keep their unique sense of chic fashion, even when they're nursing or pregnant. Our goal is to provide the great comfort you expect from nursing and maternity sleepwear and combine it with the fabulous style and exacting construction that you probably don't. We have pajamas and nursing sleepwear from the biggest and best designers in the industry, including Belabumbum and Olian. Each garment in our online store is as well built as it is beautiful and stylish, and each garment is perfectly suited for those blissful/stressful nighttime hours.
Our online store is stocked with all different kinds of nursing pajamas and nursing sleepwear. You can choose between classic nighties, complete sets of loungewear, robes (including kimono style), cardigans, and fuller dresses. Each is fabulous, each is comfortable, each is perfect for nursing your newborn while helping to keep you looking and feeling great.
Of course, every women is different, and every nursing experience is different. We understand that everyone has different needs and different standards. Some women need satin, others think cotton is the way to go - some want a large and forgiving bra (similar to a sports bra) when they're nursing, others search for hard to find underwire brassieres. At Belly Dance we want to accommodate every need and have options for every woman. That's just one more reason we've made sure that our collection includes bras, clothes and sleepwear from lots of different designers, in a multitude of styles, materials, and cuts. You can be sure you'll find something that's right for you at Belly Dance Maternity.
Designer Nursing Sleepwear
At Belly Dance Maternity, we're all about designers. Designer style, designer clothes, and big time designer brands. We believe that women who are pregnant and nursing both want and deserve clothes that are just as chic and beautiful as they are - clothes that are every bit as classic, lovely and unique as the ones they wore before they were new mommies. That's why when you browse our virtual clothing racks you'll see pieces with serious names next to them - names like Belabumbum and Olian that have made their name in the world of fashion forward nursing sleepwear.
Our beautiful nursing sleepwear collection includes lots of different styles and attitudes, as well as several different kinds of clothes. You can choose between sleek or casual complete lounge sets (with top and bottoms), classic nighties, full dresses that go below the knee, cardigans, robes, kimono style robes, and more. Materials like silk and cotton provide different kinds of comfort and style, depending on what you like. But beyond simple beauty and style, designer nursing sleepwear pieces are also dependably built and designed to accommodate your specific needs.
Nursing moms need to be able to quickly and easily access their bodies in the middle of the night, and designer nursing sleepwear makes that a no-hassle proposition by including ingenious construction in the garment that allows mothers to do just that. Tops that can be pushed aside with no problems, bras and straps that can be undone on one side only to allow for feeding or pumping, and materials that help your sensitive skin to feel comfortable throughout the night.
Women choose designer clothes because they look beautiful, give you confidence, and are reliably well-built and expertly designed. When you're making decisions about your nursing sleepwear, you should demand the same high level of quality that you do from any other kind of clothing - and at Belly Dance Maternity, you'll always get it.
Q and A
Will I be able to wear my nursing sleepwear my entire pregnancy?
If you want to, definitely. These comfy pajamas and bedtime clothes are built to look and feel amazing against your body, and that makes them perfect pajamas 24/7, whether you're pregnant, nursing, or not. They're also designed to fit loosely and stretch with your growing body, so they should last throughout your term and beyond.
I'm not positive that I will nurse, is nursing sleep wear something I should buy anyway?
You won't regret purchasing any of the sleepwear that we carry. The lines we carry and tried and true and will be luxurious sleepwear whether you choose to nurse or not.
A friend mentioned that she slept in a nursing tank, is that the norm?
Some women like to pair a nursing tank with a lounge pant while others prefer a nursing gown, or pj set. It's totally up to individual preference. Sleeping in a nursing tank or nursing bra is totally normal and we carry a wide variety of both.
Would you recommend buying nursing sleep wear before I have the baby?
It's a great idea to have nursing sleepwear in your hospital bag. That way you will have something cute and comfortable to while you receive guests. You'll want to be in something that makes you feel good while you're at the hospital. Being prepared never hurts!
What kind of undergarments should I wear while I'm nursing?
They should be just as comfortable and just as beautiful as your nursing sleepwear. We have a wonderful selection of lingerie that meets the needs of every nursing mother, and every woman.

Hypnotic Vintage Diamond Ring
Navette shapes have a tad more curve to them than does the marquise with ends that come to more of a distinct point. More akin to the "diamond" form familiar in a deck of playing cards, this configuration is at times referred to as a boat shape.
No matter the minute differences, this platinum-topped 18k yellow gold ring is a standout with its delicate and fine metal work. A centrally positioned transitional cut diamond of an estimated .25 carats transfixes the eye with its hypnotic glimmer. The main diamond is surrounded with a lacework design of fourteen (14) single cut diamonds with a total estimated diamond weight of .18 carats of shimmer. All the gems are set in platinum-topped yellow gold open work and have a total estimated weight of .43 carats (J-K color; SI1-2 clarity). A divinely narrow diamond set shank completes the picture.
Date: Circa 1930.
Measurements: 3/4 of an inch (1.9 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.2 grams (1.4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5-1/4 (UK K; Euro or Int. Circum. 49.9 mm; Int. Dia. 15.9 mm; Japan over 9) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent, reinforcement to the diamond underneath.
Note: Diamonds were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. Weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.

I am struggling some with "bitterness". My thinking is that I am running the nibs through the Juicer too many times trying to get the cocoa liquor yield up.
Could this be the cause of the bitterness? If so, how many passes should I run?
Thanks for any feedback.

Tom, Thomas, thank you very much to share your experience with these beans. It's so usefull for me ! So, I think, that I have to roast these beans more than 20min if the temperature is 130°C. I will try later to roast the beans at higher temperatures and for 40 minutes at least, and I will compare the results.
The other type of beans I wil use is Rio Caribe, Venezuela. Have you ever worked with this type of beans ?
Thank you in advance !
Hi Tom !
We have just tried to roast our DR beans a little bit more. We roasted 100gr of nibs. 5 min at 170°C, and 10 min. at 150° and 10 min at 130°C. I compared the results with my first roasted beans, and what a difference !!! The first beans were very acid, and these ones have lost the acidity and they had chocolate taste.
I tried also something: I continued to roast some of the beans another 5 min. and I found that it was too much.
Thank you very much for your advices !
I am still waiting my grinder and I am wondering if 48h will be ok for the chocolate liquor. What do you think ? I will not add additional butter or emulsifiers.
P.S. sorry for my english it's not very good ;-)
Dear Daniel,
We tested also some DR beans (organic), did two roastings, one starting at 150 C for 8 minutes and than to 130 C for another 17 minutes (25 in total). This restulted in excellent aroma, no bitterness in the nibs. The other roasting was a bit higher temp and longer, but the nibs lost a bit the cocoa and other aroma's. I think you should not go too high with the roasting, otherwise it will turn bitter, also not too long. We didn't make chocolate yet from these beans.
Best regards
Rodney Nikkels

I've been following this thread with interest.
I'm going to weigh in here briefly....
In my opinion, next to fermentation THE most important step in developing the flavour of chocolate is roasting, and THE best way to determine what's going on while roasting is to SMELL what's going on during the roast. 80% of your sense of taste comes from your sense of smell, which is why you can't taste anything when your nose is plugged.
Having said that, ignore the time you are roasting for, and pay attention to what your NOSE has to say about the roast.
During a typical roast, the first smell that you encounter (usually about the 1st 10-20 minutes or so) is a nice "brownie baking" smell. From there, the beans start to smoke a bit, and a very acidic/vinegary smell develops, which overpowers the "brownie" smell. At times when we're roasting, the smell in our shop becomes so acidic that my staff's eyes water a bit. This is the important stage where the acids and some of the tannins are being driven off the beans.
Eventually, as the acids decrease, the smell then again returns to a richer, brownie baking smell, with acidic undertones. This is usually during the last 1/3 of the roast.
Our roasts (using a convection oven), are usually between 45 and 77 minutes at about 300 degrees F. Our porcelana is VERY acidic, and requires the longest roast. In order to prevent burning, we actually reduce the temperature after 50 minutes, to 250 degrees - just enough to continue driving off the acids, but preventing the beans from burning.
With regard to bitterness and astringency, there's not a lot you can do with those characteristics through roasting or conching. Those two characteristics are of beans that have not been properly fermented. At least that's been my experience.
So... In conclusion, roast your beans at a lower temperature, and listen to what your nose has to say about what's going on. Only then can you really nail down the flavour profiles of the beans you are working with.
Thank you Brad. When I was roasting with the women's groups, we were constantly checking them as they got closer to end. I noticed that the beans were not quite done, they were still a little moist and slightly rubbery. Then they were finished, they were more crisp in their bite. They were also a little dark on the outside before my mentors thought they were done.
Here is an article that you and others might find interesting, I have cut in the abstract text below but it is the later section of the paper on the 'Sensory Evaluation of Dark Chocolate' that is relevant to this discussion and is worth a read see attached file
INFLUENCE OF ROASTING CONDITIONS ON VOLATILE FLAVOR OF ROASTED MALAYSIAN COCOA BEAN Journal of Food Processing and Preservation 30, 2006, p280
In this study, commercial Malaysian cocoa beans (SMC1A) were roasted
in a forced airflow-drying oven for 20, 30, 40 and 50 min at 120, 130, 140,
150, 160 and 170C. The products were evaluated for flavor compounds and
sensory evaluation (as dark chocolate). The volatile fraction was isolated
using the combined steam distillation–extraction procedure and was identified
by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A quantitative descriptive analysis
was used to evaluate the flavor intensity of the chocolates using a 9-point
rating scale for selected flavor attributes, namely astringency, bitter taste,
sour taste, cocoa and burnt. Panelists were asked to smell and taste the sample
against a standard chocolate. It was found that there were significant differences
in flavor compounds between the different conditions of roasting. The
main flavoring compounds identified composed of aliphatic and alicyclic
groups such as alcohol and ester, and heterocyclic groups such as pyrazine
and aldehyde. A total of 19 volatile major components were identified:
nine pyrazines (2,5-dimethyl-, 2,3-dimethyl-, 2-ethyl-6-methyl-, trimethyl-,
3-ethyl-2,5-dimethyl-, tetramethyl-, 2-ethenyl-6-methyl- and 3,5-dimethyl-2-
methylpyrazine); five aldehydes (5-methyl-2-phenyl-2-hexenal, benzaldehyde,
benzalacetaldehyde and a-ethyliden-benzenacetaldehyde); one methyl ketone
(2-nonanone); two alcohols (linalool and 2-heptanol); and two esters
(4-ethylphenyl acetate and 2-phenylethyl acetate). Based on the flavor profile
of the compounds identified, an optimum production of the major flavoring
compounds such as pyrazine, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and ester occurred at
160C for 30 min of roasting. Trimethylpyrazine and tetramethylpyrazine compounds
together with 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2-hexanal were found to be good
indicators for the evaluation of the roasting process. However, based on
chocolate evaluation, the best roasting temperature was 150C for 30 min,
which gave the lowest astringency and at the same time gave the lowest bitter
taste and low level of sour and burnt tastes. At 150C roasting temperature, the
desirable cocoa flavor was at its optimum. Correlation coefficients among
certain volatile flavor and sensory characteristics of cocoa beans and dark
chocolate were significant (P 0.05).
Here here! Science backing up what my nose tells me. Low and slow....
Hi Brad,
Interesting to read! You mention your porcelana is so acidic, but why is it so acidic, you know? You mentioned that beans are not properly fermented, but from a porcelana you would expect proper fermentation isn't it?

Top Ways to Stay Fit in Winter
Cloudy skies and cold temperatures can depress motivation. Snow and ice seem to melt our best efforts, and drive us to reach for a good book instead of workout clothes. With a change of attitude, you can turn snowy days into new winter fitness adventures, using nature as your playground.
Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett says staying fit during the winter can be fun, and may add a new dimension to your warm weather routine.
Change is Good
Winter weather offers the opportunity to change our trusty regimen. Burn rubber in a spin class, trade hiking boots for snowshoes; rollerblades for ice skates, or take a swing class and dance those winter blues away.
Play in the Snow
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are excellent winter workouts. A 150-pound woman will burn 500 calories in an hour, and the timeless beauty of falling snow brings a refreshing solitude to our busy lives. Have a snowball fight, build a snowman, or go sledding for wintertime family fun.
Dose Up on D
Spark your stamina, fortify your immune system, and build strong bones with an adequate intake of vitamin D. Sunshine is the best source, which is why we need to supplement in the winter. A serving of wild caught salmon provides 128 percent of our daily needs, making it the champion of cold season choices.
Fuel Your Fire
Curling up to a crackling fire on a cold, dark evening is a wonderful way to end the day. Fuel your fire by chopping your own wood. It's a total body workout that will keep you warm in the winter air. Turn it into family time by having your kids stack the logs, then toast marshmallows after dinner.
Keep Fit at Home
Chances are, if you have kids, you have video games. Active video games allow you to stay home while offering a variety of routines. Regain equilibrium with balance games, or try yoga for a dose of calming strength. If you don't have video games, try a Jazzercise DVD when you feel like staying in.
Winter doesn't have to bring on the blues. Follow these tips and you can have fun and stay fit even when it's cold outside.
Judi Sheppard Missett, who turned her love of jazz dance into a worldwide dance exercise phenomenon, founded the Jazzercise dance fitness program in 1969. She has advanced the business opportunities of women and men in the fitness industry by growing the program into an international franchise business that today, hosts a network of 7,800 instructors teaching more than 32,000 classes weekly in 32 countries.
The workout program, which offers a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, cardio box and Latin style movements, has positively affected millions of people worldwide. Benefits include increased cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as an overall "feel good" factor. Additional Jazzercise programs include Junior Jazzercise, Jazzercise Lite and Personal Touch. For more information on Jazzercise go to jazzercise.com or call (800)FIT-IS-IT or (760)476-1750.


text: 5 A excellent film for both sci-fi and western fans!dragonlord | 15/01/2012 | See all dragonlord's reviews (442)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer The first thing that made me think Cowboys & Aliens might be a very good film was when I saw the trailer which showed it had my childhood favourite actor "Harrison Ford" whom starred in such classic sci-fi films as Star Wars and Blade Runner and "Daniel Craig" another great actor who is the new James Bond and has also starred in the films The Golden Compass and The Invasion. The special effects looked very impressive in the tailer too and with those two very big name actors, I just knew this film was going to be something rather special and it was even better then I was hoping for. The film starts off like a normal type western part from the fact that Daniel Craig has this hi-tec piece of equipment stripped and locked onto his wrist after waking up in the middle of nowhere not knowing where he is or who is. These not so nice cowboys come across him stranded in the middle of nowhere and start being nasty towards him which is a big mistake because Daniel Craig is like the James Bond of cowboys and kills them all with ease!Daniel Craig makes into a small town and this is where we get to meet Harrison Ford who plays a tough cattle rancher owner who used to be a general in the army. Fords son was causing trouble in the town and he tries his tough boy act on with Daniel Craig whom nearly knocks him out with one punch and then the young trouble maker gets up and shoots his gun which the bullet hits another town member. So he gets arrested and his rich daddy Ford has to try and free his son for his foolish behaviour. Daniel Craig may not know his name but he is a wanted a man dead or alive!As Ford rides into town with his men the Aliens arrive soon after in their small ufo's and start picking the people up one by one and taking them away. Daniel Craigs hi-tec piece of equipment on his wrist comes to life and shoots one of the ufo's down with a mega blast. All the town folk have had loved ones taken away from the aliens and they must all work as a team if they are to get their loved ones back safe and sound. The aliens are a lot stronger then us humans and can run very fast too. They have extra arms inside their chest which opens up and you can also see their heart beating there too. The action in this film is very exciting and well filmed and I also found the story to be well told too. I am a massive fan of both sci-fi and western films and the way Cowboys & Aliens mixed these two genres together is amazing and I can't see how anyone could've done a better job really. "Olivia Wilde" makes a lovely bit a eye candy and the blu-ray picture is razor sharp. If you like your sci-fi and western films like I do then hopefully you should love this film as much me because in my humble opinion it should not be missed.

In two highly anticipated hearings on Capitol Hill, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally answered pointed questions about the September 11th attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya. Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Erin Billups has the details.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At both the Senate and House hearings on the U.S. consulate attack in Benghazi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted she felt responsible, tearing up as she spoke of receiving the flag-draped caskets of four Americans killed last September.
"For me, this is not just a matter of policy, it's personal. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their children," Clinton said.
Clinton's remorse was not enough though for several Republican lawmakers who have been waiting for months to question her.
"I would have relieved you of your post. I think it's inexcusable," said Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
Senator Paul and others criticized the State Department's failure to provide additional security to the Benghazi outpost, which had been requested. They also accused the department of purposefully misleading the public about what actually happened.
Clinton said, "The fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they would go kill some Americans. What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again senator."
"The answers, frankly, that you've given this morning are not satisfactory to me. The American people deserve to know answers and they certainly don't deserve false answers," said Arizona Senator John McCain.
Democrats, meanwhile, praised Clinton for her implementation of a review board's recommendations following the deadly attack. They also warned against a game of gotcha politics. "We need to be clear eyed that there is blame to be shared right here in Congress," New York Representative Eliot Engel said.
Throughout the hearing, Secretary Clinton staunchly defended the State Department and even pushed lawmakers for more funding to better secure U.S. embassies.
"We need your help to help us pay for what we're trying to do," Clinton said.

Iberian Treasure: Georgian Table Cut Diamond Earrings
Ever distinctive, jewelry from the Iberian Peninsular takes its place far from traditional European pieces. Although "classic" in its chandelier or girandole configuration and closed back settings, these 18k rose gold earrings from circa 1800 display the characteristic "flatter" design found in pieces from Spain and Portugal more so that their Georgian English or Continental counterparts.
The diamonds in this pair of earrings have been cut in the earlier manner we typically see represented in antique paintings – table cuts and rose cuts. Appearing almost slate in color from some angles, these gems have a glint and undercurrent of electricity. Placed into finely constructed gold work, the foiled closed back diamonds (10 in each earring) with plain rub over bezels are set with a double open ballerina skirt gallery. Unlike other earrings of the era, these are superbly wearable in size and weight.
Measurements: 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length by 3/4 of an inch (1.8 cm) at widest. Weight of 6.5 grams (4.2 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Excellent for their age. Later replaced but period style ear wires of 14k gold; minute solder restoration at top of surmount visible with a loupe or upon very close inspection.
Date & Origin: Circa 1800 and is Spanish or Portuguese in origin.

Yes, ITspamfest is insane amounts of threat. However the argument about is whether that threat is useful for what it loses in DPS. Lets face it Threat is not the fun game. Its not hard to produce a high amount of threat and nor is it neccassary, and that is the key word; neccessity. Do you need to be pulling a continual 18.5ktps? if your threatiest DPS is only pulling 15k TPS, you only need to pull 15.1k tps to maintain aggro, the rest of 3.4k aggro is just showing off, it doesn't matter if you're ahead by a minute or a mile. Now for most DKs OB is a higher DPS than 2xIT, hower a DPS increase, even a small one, generally will finish fights faster, minimising time in combat, and thus time for a raid memeber to cock up catastrophicaly is also reduced.
Once you have aggro and are safe in keeping it, and doing so is not likely to get you killed you might aswell favour doing a little more DPS than TPS cos keeping aggro and pulling 6k as a tank is better than keeping aggro and pulling 2k, no matter how you slice it.

A company planning to build high-tech police cars in a vacant eastern Indiana auto parts factory says it has a second vehicle that it plans to produce in Indiana.
Carbon Motors Corp. on Monday announced it will begin producing a multi-mission vehicle called the TX7 at a vacant former Visteon plant in Connersville before it begins building its E7 police car.
Carbon says that the TX7 can replace several types of vehicles currently in use by law enforcement agencies. The TX7 is built on the chasis of an already-existing truck (the company has not said which one) and employs a V8 engine that powers all four wheels. The truck can be configured to fit up to 10 people and will include numerous technological features, including weapons of mass destruction detectors, infrared cameras and 360-degree surveillance cameras.

Currently showing as fishing pole equipped, but even without a weapon and shield your Defense is at 555, so you're well over the defense minimum.
That said, you should change your +20 defense gems. I'd suggest the following:
Helm - 10 defense/15 stamina or 10 hit/15 stamina, your choice.
Cloak - 30 stamina or 10 hit/15 stam (currently 20 hit)
Chest - 10 defense/15 stamina or 10hit/15 stamina.
Gloves - 30 stamina or 10 hit/15 stam, 10 defense/15 stam if you insist on having the +6 stam bonus.
Pants - 10 dodge/15 stamina instead of +16 dodge, or 10 expertise/15 stam, 10 agi/15 stam, again your choice, keep the stamina gem as is.
The only enchant that I could see being changed would be your gloves, if threat is not an issue for you then either +240 armor or +18 stamina would be better. 18 stam will help in physical intensive fights as well as magical fights, where as +240 armor only helps with physical fights.
For gear to aim for, if you're planning on ICC then pieces with high bonus armor on them are highly valuable.

Meatloaf Cupcakes
|Kristen J. Gough
How do you make kids eat something they loathe? Reinvent it. These meat muffins really do look like dessert cupcakes, but eat like a meal. Serve them in cupcake papers to add to the effect.
|Prep Time:
|40 minutes
|Cook Time:
|20 minutes
|Number of Servings:
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. cider vinegar (optional)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. Tabasco
2 lb. ground meat (I use half beef, half pork)
1 1/3 cups breadcrumbs or Panko crumbs (preferred)
Mashed potato 'frosting'
4 medium-sized potatoes (I prefer Yukon Gold)
1 large sweet potato
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 to 1 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-sized skillet pan, saute the onion in the heated oil until they soften. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, mustard, spices, Worcestershire, Tabasco and vinegar (if using; I like the slight kick it gives). In another large bowl combine the meat, Panko crumbs (available in the Asian foods section of the grocery store), and onions. Gently blend in the egg mixture using a wooden spoon.
Lightly spray the muffin tin cups with cooking oil. Loosely pack meat into each cup and fill to the top. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes and then check for doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer; the temperature should read 160 degrees F.
Allow the meat muffins to cool in the pan. Carefully drain off the fat and then remove the muffins to a baking sheet.
Mashed potato 'frosting'
Using a grater remove the peels from the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into equal chunks about 1 inch thick. Add the cut pieces into a medium-sized cooking pan filled 2/3 of the way with water.
Once all of the potatoes are added to the pot, cook the potatoes at high heat on the stovetop. Add 1 Tbsp. of salt to the cooking water. Bring the potatoes to a gentle boil and continue cooking until they are fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add half of the milk and then blend using a handheld mixer on high power. Add the butter and sour cream and then blend more. Gradually add in the rest of the milk until the potatoes become airy and whipped. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the whipped potatoes into a pastry bag fitted with a large-sized star tip.
After placing the meat muffins onto a baking dish, pipe the potatoes on top. Start on one end of the meat muffin and swirl around the outside and then keep swirling until you reach a tip at the top. Broil the muffins until the potatoes are just browned.

When TV Record in Brazil prepared to broadcast the 2012 Olympic Games, it knew its offices in Brazil needed to maintain constant contact with the broadcast team in London. Luckily, the company had a communications solution, Microsoft Lync Server
2013, that helped it control costs for phone bills and conferencing services. TV Record used Lync Server 2013 constantly during the games to ensure broadcast teams in each country could share ideas and thoroughly plan broadcasts. With more than 5,000 employees
in offices on five continents, the need for effective communications at Record goes beyond the Olympics. Record is using Lync to help its geographically distributed teams work together effectively and reduce costs on phone bills and travel expenses.
TV Record is a leading global broadcaster headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. It offers television broadcasting services under the brand Record TV network, which was the first broadcast TV service in Brazil. It currently operates 107 regional television stations
in Brazil and its channels include a Brazilian news channel called Record News.
Record also produces its own content from 11 studios located in São Paulo and 10 studios in Rio de Janeiro. This content is broadcast in more than 150 countries by Record International. Record Entertainment produces movies, plays, and other entertainment
events. Another division, R7, operates a successful web portal that delivers entertainment along with other content, and has more than 1 billion page views a month.
Record wanted to facilitate effective collaboration among its staff, and it also wanted to reduce its costs for international calls and travel between offices. Employees frequently traveled between offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and Record believed
most of those meetings could happen online if it had an effective conferencing solution that was easy to use.
To help facilitate communications among its staff, Record deployed Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 (now called Microsoft Lync Server), which provided instant messaging, presence, and conferencing capabilities to employees. Office Communications
Server 2007 R2 was a success, and employees adopted the instant messaging and presence capabilities to get questions answered quickly. The conferencing capabilities and PC-to-PC calling for ad-hoc meetings and desktop sharing to collaborate on projects also
helped facilitate collaboration on projects.
Looking to expand the benefits that employees experienced through Office Communications Server and to provide them with the latest Microsoft communications capabilities, Record deployed Microsoft Lync Server 2013. Lync Server 2013 delivers enhanced capabilities
for conferencing and connecting to external users, in addition to advanced disaster recovery options to ensure high availability.
Record now has 1,100 employees who use Lync Server 2013. Employees especially depend on presence information shared across Microsoft Office applications to enable quick communication. These employees can access features like the contact card, which is available
across all Microsoft Office applications. By hovering the mouse over a contact's picture, they can display a colleague's contact card that shows the contact's presence, status note, location, and organizational details. Employees can receive an email notification
and immediately see if the person is available to answer questions. They can initiate a call or chat directly from the email and get an immediate reply, or they can escalate communication to an audio call or online meeting, rather than trying to get questions
answered by going back and forth in email messages.
Through the Microsoft Lync 2013 desktop client, employees can easily hold meetings with people throughout the company. Record used Lync extensively during the 2012 Summer Olympics to hold meetings between teams in London and São Paulo. "We easily connect
with people regardless of their location," says Anderson Gonçalves de Moura, IT Manager at TV Record. "If we see they are available, we can start a chat or a call and share a desktop to work on a presentation."
Record has been encouraging employees to use videoconferencing, and the Lync 2013 gallery view is making that option more popular. The Lync gallery view enables employees to see up to five video streams so that they can see the reactions of others to the
presentation, identify the active speaker, and associate names with faces.
IT is using the Lync 2013 desktop sharing capabilities to provide support to employees when they encounter problems with their computers. The support desk staff can use desktop sharing to take control of an employee's desktop and work through an issue quickly
rather than trying to provide instructions over the phone.
To promote online meetings and PC-to-PC calling, Record has provided employees with a variety of communications endpoints. "Our employees really enjoy using the Jabra headsets and find the audio quality to be excellent. We have a number of options, so they
can find a headset they like," says Moura. Record also uses Polycom IP phones and conferencing devices like the Polycom CX3000, which it finds easy to use.
For videoconferencing, Record has distributed a number of Microsoft LifeCam high-definition (HD) web cameras. "The Microsoft webcams provide a really nice picture and are plug-and-play with Lync. Employees find them easy to use," says Moura.
Record is using Lync Server 2013 to promote communications among employees, while at the same time cutting back on travel and expensive international phone calls.
Employees are also making PC-to-PC calls through Lync instead of using the telephone. "When our team was in London for the Olympics, they frequently needed to call the office. Using a mobile phone to call Brazil from London could cost [US]$10 per minute.
We can save all of that money by using Lync," says Moura.
"Lync is so easy to use that employees use it for meetings even when they are in the office," says Bernardo. "They can share desktops and work together without leaving their desks. And with videoconferencing, they still feel like they see each other."
Microsoft Lync Server 2013
Microsoft Lync Server 2013 ushers in a new connected user experience that transforms every communication into an interaction that is more collaborative and engaging—and that is accessible from anywhere. For IT, the benefits are equally powerful, with a highly
secure and reliable communications system that works with existing tools and systems for easier management, lower cost of ownership, smoother deployment and migration, and greater choice and flexibility.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- The Arlington County Board has approved construction of what would become the largest residential and retail high-rise in Pentagon City.
The mixed-use development will include a 22-story building with nearly 700 residential units and more than 40,000 feet of retail space. Most of that space will be dedicated to a full-service grocery store on the ground floor.
Arlington County Board Chairman J. Walter Tejada calls the approval "an important milestone" because it will help transform an industrial section of Pentagon City "to a more walkable, transit-oriented area." The board gave final approval to the project on Saturday.
The project will be built on the site of a warehouse that's within walking distance of the Pentagon City and Crystal City Metro stations.

Great rug. I got the grey/cream color for under my dining room table. It's not soft or cushy enough for an everyday living space (what outdoor rug is?), but under a table on hardwood floors it's perfect - thin and durable for a great price.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Strong quality area rug for high traffic area. Have only had it down for a week or so - not all the kinks out yet.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Not what I expected but really pleased with the rug.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The color was darker than I expected, but it still looks great in my hallway. It is nice to have one longer than the typical 8'. Thinking of getting another!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
