Vicious 4.5" Black NMT
We borrowed the lightweight, agile Trailguard platform from our hiking boots to engineer this work boot to be nimble and tough from the ground up. This new last is designed to cup your heel for a secure fit while offering a little more room in the toe box to accommodate feet that are carrying heavy loads or changing directions quickly. It also comes with a dual density EVA midsole for extra shock absorption and comfort. The oil and slip resistant outsole has a low-profile, 90 degree heel making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor work. For really tough jobs, it has an abrasion-resistant heel cap, a non-metallic safety toe and a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® liner.
- 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® liner is engineered to keep your feet dry and comfortable - even in extreme conditions
- Rich, oiled nubuc leather offers comfortable moisture protection and long term endurance for all jobsite conditions
- Danner Trailguard platform provides lightweight, seamless support to provide a roomier fit in the toe box while still offering a snug fit in the heel.
- Abrasion-resistant heel cap for durability
- Speed lace system for a secure, tight fit
- Vibram® Vicious outsole is oil and slip resistant and has a low-profile 90 degree heel
- Nylon shank
- 4.5" height
- 50 oz
- The non-metallic safety toe won't conduct heat or cold to the foot, and meets or exceeds ASTM standard F2413-11 I/75 C/75 EH. Electrical hazard (EH) footwear is manufactured with non-conductive electrical shock resistant soles and heels.
- Imported
DLE-01 Last
The DLE-01 last was designed to be an extension of the foot with superior forefoot and heel capture, stability and a more anatomical shape for comfort. The additional space in the toebox allows the foot to naturally react when bearing a heavy load or changing directions laterally in high intensity environments.
Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
- Consider the type of socks you'll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
- When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they're the right fit.
Free Return Shipping
Rest assured that if the boot you receive doesn't fit correctly, we pay for return shipping back to us. You can order with confidence knowing return shipping is always on us.

Are your business stories unforgettable?
Every business claims to have amazing customer service, the lowest prices or a "secret blend." We hear and see these kind of marketing messages so often that we're practically immune to them.
But stories are a different matter. Stories engage our hearts and minds in a more vivid and memorable way.
So how can you make your business stories equally compelling and repeatable?
Define your origin story
Start at the beginning by crafting the origin story of your business. What were the key elements in your background and your partner's background that led you to this business? Why this business, why this customer, why solve this problem? Some origin stories begin in college, some in childhood, some even go back multiple generations.
Many begin in adversity. Think about how you talk about and describe the entrepreneurs you know. When I get home from a networking event, I'm not going to tell my husband about a new acquaintance by listing their service offerings. Instead, I'll describe their business in terms of their personal life story. The former Marine who taught himself to code, the birth doula who is the granddaughter of a famous obstetrician, or the Realtor who is also a professional sports announcer.
Each of these origin stories serves a dual purpose. Not only does it create a peg for remembering that specific person and their business, it also implicitly conveys a reason for doing business with them, e.g. discipline, expertise, poise. In a sense, your story is your brand.
Story spotting
Your origin story will likely help you clarify what you want to be known for. Or you might find that what you want to be known for doesn't relate directly to your origin. That's fine, too.
What's most important is that you have a niche, instead of trying to be all things to all people. Armed with this niche, you can actively look for stories that express your brand.
Customer success stories are a great place to start mining for narratives.
Did you help a customer triumph against overwhelming odds? (Customer as hero.)
Did you go the extra mile and save the customer's bacon? (Business as hero.)
Pay close attention to the concrete details that help the listener envision the tale.
Instead of, "We're great with special requests," try, "One of our brides wanted us to incorporate a live fish tank into her wedding cake." Instead of, "Our prices are extremely competitive," try, "I can't divulge any names, but even our competitors buy from us when they run out of stock."
Both versions should be true, but the true story sticks better than the true fact, and is believed more often.
So remember, when it comes to your business stories, use the writer's adage of "show, don't tell" to make your business unforgettable.

homebrew/HOW TO BREW
You can make brewing your own beer as simple or as complex as you like. If you want things to be easy, just buy a fermenter from your local homebrew shop, a tin of homebrew concentrate and some glucose or dextrose and you're set.
At the other end of the scale, you can go berserk and brew just like the brewers at your favorite brewery. It will take you a lot longer, but you'll end up with an excellent beer.
- Make a yeast starter
- This is not essential, but will make sure your beer starts off a vigorous fermentation and ensure any rogue yeast doesn't get hold and ruin the brew. It also allows you to make sure the yeast is active (which one or two of ours haven't been, for some reason). Make the starter from dried or liquid yeast a couple of days before you plan brew. While 500ml is a good size, a bigger starter with more malt is even better. Oliver has recently taken to boiling 150g malt in 1.5 litres of water for 20 minutes to make a yeast starter. This will boil down to about one litre and will get your brew off to a great start.
- Boil at least 500ml of water, add about 4 tablespoons of malt (dried is easiest to handle) and boil for a couple of minutes.
- Put the lid on the saucepan and allow to cool. Put it in a sink of cold water if you want to speed things up a bit.
- Meanwhile, sterlilise an airlock, large bottle and bung for the bottle.
- When the mixture is cool, pour it into the bottle, then add the yeast. (If culturing yeast from a large bottle (750ml or larger) of bottle-conditioned beer, with the beer at room temperature pour off all but the last two centimetres or so and drink it. Then add the the cooled malt mixture and proceed. We know that the bottle is sterile apart from the yeast, so why dirty another bottle?)
- Give the bottle a good shake to dissolve oxygen, which was driven out by the boiling. The yeast needs oxygen to get off to a flying start.
- Fit the bung and airlock and leave it in a warm place 20ºC (68ºF) until you are ready to brew. Some people just place a piece of cotton wool in the neck of the bottle. This is not as effective, but it's up to you.
- If there is no action in the airlock within 24 hours, it is likely the yeast you added was dead. Make another starter with new yeast.
If you don't bother to make a yeast starter, it is beneficial to rehydrate the yeast before pitching it into the wort. Just mix the yeast with some tepid water about half an hour before adding it to the wort.
- Boil at least 500ml of water, add about 4 tablespoons of malt (dried is easiest to handle) and boil for a couple of minutes.
- Boil the brewing water
- This, too, is not essential, but if you decide to do it, boil it the day before so it can cool, because this volume of water takes a long, long time to cool.
- Sterlise your equipment
- Pour some steriliser into your fermenter and swirl it around. Run some through the tap and don't forget the lid. Rinse thoroughly and replace the lid.
Also sterilise any other equipment, such as spoons, which will not be boiled.
Preparing the wort
Kit brewing
- Place the can of beer mix and any liquid malt in a sink of hot water to let it warm up so it's easier to pour.
- Boil about two to four litres of water in your saucepan or boiler.
- Add the malt, sugar, glucose or other soluble ingredients and bring the contents back to the boil. Be careful, especially with liquid malt, that the ingredients do not catch on the bottom of the pan. Boiling the malt extract (there's no need to boil the other sugars) for at least an hour is a good idea, as it causes protein, which can cause hazy beer, to come out of solution.
- Turn off the heat, add the can of beer and dissolve.
- Put some cold water in the fermenter and add the malt mixture. Fill up the fermenter with water. The more splashing the better, as this will dissolve oxygen which the yeast needs.
- Skip to the Fermentation section below.
Starting with grains and extra hops
This is a very simple way to make big changes and improvements to your kit beers. It really doesn't require much more effort or involve much more time than making a simple kit brew, as described above.
Adding small quantites of grain or hops can make big a difference to the final taste, color, aroma, bitterness and character of your beer. Most kit beers are not overly hoppy, so if you like a fairly bitter or aromatic beer you might want to add some extra hops. Grains can affect the color, body, taste and head of your beer. Adding hops and grain can transform the beer into a different style altogether.
See our ingredients page for more information about using hops and grain to produce different effects.
- Add the grains to cold water in a saucepan. There should be enough water for the grain to mix quite freely.
- Slowly bring the water to boiling point, stirring occasionally. Do not boil the mixture as this can bring out the harsh tannins from the husk of the grain.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or gauze. Return the liquid it to the saucepan and boil it for five minutes or so to kill any remaining enzymes from the grain.
- Add it to your fermenter, along with the beer kit and other ingredients, prepared as above.
- Skip to the Fermentation section below.
- Boil a few tablespoons of malt in about two litres of water in a saucepan. The malt helps extract the bitterness and aroma from the hops.
- If using the hops for bitterness, boil them for about one hour. If you want aroma, use the best quality hops and add them in the last 15 minutes of the boil. If you want, you can boil some hops for bitterness and add aroma hops in the last 15 minutes.
- Strain the mixture gently with a sieve or gauze.
- Add it to the fermenter, along with the beer kit and other ingredients, prepared as above.
- Skip to the Fermentation section below.
Malt extract brewing
If you have already used extra hops and grain in your can beers, malt extract brewing is not much more complicated. You will decide what goes into your beer, which means more control over the finished product's taste, color and body.
- If using liquid malt, soften it in a sink of hot water.
- Prepare any grains as described above, but add the liquid to the boil rather than the fermenter.
- Ideally, the quantity of wort you boil will be the same as the final volume (i.e. you won't have to add any water at the end.) This helps extract the maximum amount of bitterness and flavor from the hops. However, unless you have a boiler or some fairly large saucepans, this won't be possible. Don't worry, though; we've never boiled the full quantity when making a beer and it's still been pretty nice.
- Boil the water, then add the malt and dissolve, being careful not to let it catch on the bottom.
- Add any bittering (copper) hops and adjust the heat to a good rolling boil with the lid on loosely.
- Boil the wort for an hour, preferrably one-and-a-half hours. After an hour of boiling, proteins begin to break down, and will settle out of the wort while it is cooling or during fermentation. This helps avoid protein haze, which can cause cloudy beer.
- About 15 minutes from the end of the boil, add any finishing hops which will add aroma.
- At the same time, add any copper finings.
- Finally, add any other soluble ingredients such as sugar, glucose, lactose and corn syrup and boil briefly.
- Skip to the Fermentation section below.
Partial and full mash brewing
Geoff and I have not yet tried mashing. We are currently gathering equipment with a view to trying our hand, possibly when Geoff builds his brewery. In the meantime, we recommend you visit our Homebrew and beer forum for information.
- Cooling the boiling liquid
- If you end up with a large quantity of boiling liquid (as is likely to happen with malt extract brews), mixing it with cold water in the fermenter will not bring it down to the required temperature. Placing the saucepan or boiler in a sink or bath of cold water is a good way to cool the liquid. Stir the cold water and wort every five minutes or so to speed up the process. Add the cooled wort to the fermenter, being careful to leave behind any solids that may have settled at the bottom of the saucepan or boiler.
- Get the temperature right
- The temperature of the wort needs to be below 30 degrees celcius, and ideally about 25 degrees, before you pitch the yeast. If it's too hot the yeast might be killed or the fermentation so vigorous that beer foams everywhere. High temperatures also produce off tastes. Adjust the quantities of hot and (preferably boiled and cooled) cold water that you top up the fermenter with to achieve the desired temperature. Usually no hot water will be needed. If the temperature is too high high at first, put the lid on and wait (maybe overnight) until it's dropped. Ice blocks made from cooled, boiled water can also help get the temperature down in warmer weather. Don't fill up the fermenter totally yet, as the yeast starter will add volume.
- Pitch the yeast
- When the temperature is right, just pour the yeast starter in and give the whole lot a good stir. Fit the lid and airlock securely and place the fermenter somewhere out of direct sunlight, and preferably dark if it is not opaque.
- Take an SG reading
- This is another step that is not essential, but it will help you know when the beer is ready to bottle and what the final alcohol level is. To take a reading, simply run off some of the wort into the tall glass or plastic tube provided, place the hydrometer in, give it a twirl to remove any bubbles and take a reading from the scale on the side. Don't pour this wort back into the fermenter, because it may have become contaminated. Why not pour it into a glass and cover it with plastic lunch wrap. It's interesting to smell and taste the wort as it transforms from a sweet liquid to beer during the course of fermentation.
- Let the yeast do their thing
- The ideal temperature for fermenting ales is about 18ºC to 22ºC (64ºF to 72ºF). If using a true lager yeast, the best temperature is about 10ºC (50ºF), but a more realistic temperature for the bombrewer is in the range of 10ºC to 15ºC (50ºF to 59ºF).
- Heating and cooling
- If you time your brewing well, you should rarely need to use a heater or any cooling. We tend to brew lagers in the cool winter months and ales in the slightly warmer spring and autumn. A constant temperature is also important, as fluctuating temperatures can confuse the yeast and affect your beer.
If the need arises to heat the wort, the best way is with an aquarium immersion heater. Other methods include a belt heater that is wrapped around the fermenter, placing the fermenter on a heating mat or using a hot box, which is a wooden box with a light globe in it.
Cooling is a different story. The best way is placing the fermenter in a refrigerator with a thermostat to keep the beer at the required temperature. This may be taking your love of homebrewing a bit far (or maybe not).
Sitting the fermenter in an ice bath is another method of cooling. If you only need to lower the temperature by a couple of degrees, try wrapping the fermenter in a wet towel. A fan will help things along.
- When is it ready to bottle or barrel?
- The time it takes to ferment the wort will vary depending on how much sugar there is, how much yeast was pitched, the type of yeast and the fermentation temperature. However, it should take about a week and is unlikely to take more than two weeks. There are a couple of ways to tell if the fermentation is finished.
- If bubbling in the airlock stops. Be wary of this method, since a leaky fermenter can be misleading. Confirm that the beer is ready to bottle by taking an SG reading.
- Take SG readings. If two readings two days apart give the same result, fermentation is over.
- If bubbling in the airlock stops. Be wary of this method, since a leaky fermenter can be misleading. Confirm that the beer is ready to bottle by taking an SG reading.
- Fining
- If you plan to bottle the beer and use finings to help clear the yeast, add the finings to the fermenter when fermentation has finished. If you are using household gelatine, mix a 15g (half-ounce) sachet in a cut of hot water, allow it to cool, draw off about 500ml (two cups) of beer and mix it together, then add the mixture back into the beer and stir. Allow about a day for the beer to clear before bottling. If using isinglass, follow the instructions on the packet. For more information, see finings in the homebrew ingredients section.
- Work out the alcohol content
- You can only do this if you've taken an SG before fermentation and one at the end. The formula for working out alcohol content is: Original gravity minus final gravity divided by 7.46 (or times by .134, which is the inverse of 7.46). So if a beer has an original gravity of 1064 and a final gravity of 1020, the formula would be (1064-1020) ÷ 7.46 = 44 ÷ 7.46 = 5.89 per cent.
Some homebrewers, particularly in Britain, store their beer in a barrel to mature before bottling. This allows the beer to develop further and also allows some harsh flavors to dissipate. A general rule about how long to mature in the barrel is the original gravity divided by two. So, if your beer had an OG of 1050, it should be matured in the barrel for 25 days. Some very strong beers, such as imperial stout, can be matured in the barrel for several months, and even years, before they are bottled. If you plan to use gelatine finings, add them either at the time of barreling or after several days. If using Isinglass, allow leave the beer for about a week as it will not work if there is too much yeast present. See instructions above.
- Prepare the bottles
- If you have a sterilising machine, squirt steriliser into each bottle. Otherwise, pour a little steriliser into each bottle and give it a shake. Rinse each bottle using Oliver's Bottle Rinser or by putting a bit of water in each, swirling, emptying and repeating.
- Prime the bottles
- Adding a small amount of cane sugar or dried malt to each bottle produces a secondary fermentation. Because the carbon dioxide created cannot escape, it dissolves into the beer, creating bubbles when you uncap the bottle.
Whether you prime is up to you. We've found that using a full measure (about a teaspoon) of sugar in a 750ml bottle results in an overcarbonated beer. A half measure is good for brews that should be on the effervescent side, such as lagers. But for many beers that are not usually very fizzy, such as ales and stouts, we rarely use priming sugar; there is already some gas dissolved in the beer and some will be created after bottling as the yeast acts on slow-fermenting malts.
Experiment and see what works for you.
- Filling
- Attach your little bottler to the fermenter tap and turn on the tap. Put a glass under the little bottler and push upwards to let some beer through. This first third of a glass or so will be a bit murky from yeast that is stirred up, so discard it. Take an SG reading by drawing off some beer into the tube, floating the hydrometer and spinning off any bubbles. Fill each bottle to about five centimetres (two inches) below the neck.
We have never been unfortunate enough to bottle beer by syphoning, so use this as a guide and work your way through it.
- Capping
- Sterilise the caps by pouring solution over them or soaking them then giving them a good rinse. Your capper would have come with instructions. Basically they are:
- With a hand capper, place a cap on the bottle, put the capper over the top then belt it with a hammer.
- If using a lever capper, put a cap on the bottle then place the capper over the top and pull down on the handles.
- Most bench cappers have a magnet that holds the cap. Simply put the cap in place, place a bottle underneath and pull down firmly on the handle. Just make sure the cap doesn't go off-centre as you pull the handle.
- With a hand capper, place a cap on the bottle, put the capper over the top then belt it with a hammer.
- Secondary fermentation
- If you have primed the bottles, they need to be put somewhere for a couple of days so secondary fermentation can occur and carbonate the beer. Ideally, this will be at the same temperature at which the beer was fermented (i.e. about 18ºC to 22ºC (64ºF to 72ºF) for ales and 10ºC to 15ºC (50ºF to 59ºF) for lager).
- Lagering
- Most commercial lagers are stored at very cold temperatures for a time before they are released for sale. This allows the beer to develop its characteristic crisp, clean taste. The best lagers are lagered for up to several months, cheaper lagers for a couple of days. Some ales are also lagered. At home, it's easy to lager beer. After secondary fermentation, just pop the bottles in the fridge for a few weeks or months. You may be surprised at the difference in taste it produces. Keep some of the bottles unlagered so you can compare.
- Storage
- If you have a cellar, this is the ideal place to store your beer. However, unfortunately most of us don't, so a cool, dry and dark place somewhere in your house is the next best thing. Also, fluctuating temperatures are bad for beer.
- Maturation
- Homebrew matures just like wine. If you can stand it, keep your beer for at least six months before you try it. If you can't wait that long, note how the beer becomes more rounded with age and loses any harsh edge it may have when young.
In fact, some homebrews that you might think are downright failures may actually become fairly good beers with age. Take Geoff's No.41Bockin Good Beer, for instance. It was brewed with one kilogram of golden syrup and bottled on 3.9.93. Geoff says it was terrible and sickly sweet at the first tasting. It hadn't changed much when we tasted it about five years later and tipped it down the sink (this is a drastic step for us). But when we tried it in 2000, when it was almost seven years old, while it wasn't a great beer, it was certainly drinkable.
There are some beers, such as very strong imperial stouts, that are at their peak after five years. Of course, you can drink them well before that.
- How long will the beer keep?
- Generally, the higher the alcohol content the longer the beer will keep. However, homebrew, as it is not filtered and pasteurised like most commercial beer, will keep for a long time. Many of our beers are more than three years old and showing no signs of being over the hill. Shepherd Neame says its Thomas Hardy's Ale (12.5 per cent ABV) will keep for 20 years.

The photos snapped and posted to the media on Wednesday showed Bundchen in a colorful string bikini, carrying Vivian against her chest in a rucksack.
Bundchen claims a strict regimen of yoga and kung fu exercises kept her fit and strong during the pregnancy and allowed her to quickly return her body to normal. She created a media stir right after Vivian's birth by stating, "I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals." The comment was considered highly offensive by many women.
The model also had interesting comments about the birthing process. Bundchen stated that she did not feel any pain during the contractions, as her mind was focused completely on bringing the child into the world.
"It wasn't painful, not even a little bit," she told Brazilian TV show Fantastico. "The whole time, my head was so focused – every contraction, the baby is closer, the baby is closer.
"So, it wasn't like, 'Oh, what pain.' It was, 'With every contraction, he is getting closer to me.' "
So she can regain her figure and giving birth didn't even hurt? Wow!

Hi All! How did the weekend go? Did you stay on budget or fall off the wagon? Let us know.
Nothing purchased this weekend for me! We do need groceries this week and I have no idea when i will have time to do it. I work nights the next two days and it is hard to go to town, shop and leave it at work while I work and then lug it all home at 10 at night, we do a have a fridge at work but that is not nice of me to do to co workers. I hate going to town 2 times in a day(20 min drive). it doesn't make sense but we are out of food!
We are supposed to get a blizzard today. Really? Enough! I have a had a head ache for 3 days now. NOt sure what is going on.
Have a great week!

In the '80s, if you went to see a jovial piece of horndogus comedicus like Losin' It or License to Drive, it was product, pure and simple. In our era, films like Road Trip or the new Sex Drive filter their leering, gross-out, smash-and-grab antics through a scrim of nostalgia. You're no longer just watching raunchy teen trash you're watching an affectionate homage to the raunchy teen trash of yesteryear. What is new is the way that Internet culture has ratcheted up the shock value. When Ian (Josh Zuckerman), a virgin who thinks he's met the online hookup of his dreams, jumps into his brother's 1969 GTO to drive from Chicago to Knoxville, he and his pals Felicia (Amanda Crew), whom he secretly adores, and Lance (Clark Duke), who adores himself undergo a set of escapades that run from the sleazy to the sick.
Lance, played with a spew of attitude by newcomer Duke (who could be a baby member of Weezer), finds a few girls of his own, one with a scatological fetish. The sheer pileup of boner gags and the use of a certain three-letter gay slur I don't even like printing the word, but it's now woefully routine in youth comedy is relentless. Yet Sex Drive twits its own lost innocence with a knowing backward glance (the winsome leads deserve a more humane movie), and Seth Green is uproarious as an Amish farmer who speaks in sentences so passive-aggressive, they're like tiny slaps.

CoreLogic® Reports 57,000 Completed Foreclosures In September
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic ® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of information, analytics and business services, today released its National Foreclosure Report for September that provides monthly data on completed U.S. foreclosures and the overall foreclosure inventory. According to the report, there were 57,000 completed foreclosures in the U.S. in September 2012, down from 83,000 in September 2011 and 59,000* in August 2012. Prior to the decline in the housing market in 2007, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month between 2000 and 2006. Completed foreclosures are an indication of the total number of homes actually lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, there have been approximately 3.9 million completed foreclosures across the country.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/corelogic/56990/
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121031/MM02453LOGO)
Approximately 1.4 million homes, or 3.3 percent of all homes with a mortgage, were in the national foreclosure inventory as of September 2012 compared to 1.5 million, or 3.5 percent, in September 2011. Month-over-month, the national foreclosure inventory was down 1.1 percent from August 2012 to September 2012. The foreclosure inventory is the share of all mortgaged homes in any stage of the foreclosure process."The continuing downward trend in foreclosures along with a gradual clearing of the shadow inventory are signs of stabilization and improvement in the housing market," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "Increasingly improving market conditions and industry and government policy are allowing distressed homeowners to pursue refinancing, loan modifications or short sales rather than foreclosures." "Homes lost to foreclosure in September 2012 are down 50 percent since the peak month in September 2010 and 22 percent less than the beginning of the year," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "While there is significant progress to be made before returning to pre-crisis levels, the trend is in the right direction as short sales, up 27 percent year over year in August, continue to gain popularity." Highlights as of September 2012:
- The five states with the highest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in September 2012 were: California (108,000), Florida (92,000), Texas (59,000), Georgia (55,000) and Michigan (51,000). These five states account for 47.7 percent of all completed foreclosures nationally.
- The five states with the lowest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in September 2012 were: South Dakota (20), District of Columbia (58), Hawaii (436), North Dakota (583) and Maine (625).
- The five states with the highest foreclosure inventory as a percentage of all mortgaged homes were: Florida (11.5 percent), New Jersey (7.3 percent), New York (5.3 percent), Illinois (5.2 percent) and Nevada (4.9 percent).
- The five states with the lowest foreclosure inventory as a percentage of all mortgaged homes were: Wyoming (0.5 percent), Alaska (0.7 percent), North Dakota (0.7 percent), Nebraska (0.9 percent) and South Dakota (1.1 percent).

Three forward-thinking women have put their heads together to create the ultimate in lingerie — pretty, stain-resistant underwear meant to help you survive your period without ruined clothes and embarrassing moments. Why didn't anyone come up with this sooner!?
The panties are called THINX, and they're the brain child of twin sisters Radha and Miki Agrawal and their friend Antonia Dunbar. After facing one too many public period disasters, the ladies got fed up with the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation — and how that stigma has prevented innovation in the products we use to manage our time of the month. THINX undies are made with "four-layer technology" to prevent leakage, but are still thin enough to feel something like real underwear. They're offered as hiphuggers, thongs, and even a fancy lacy variety. Keep reading »

This is aimed at organizations like the VFW and American Legion.
I was stationed in Germany for a year and a half from 88-89 and spend a short trip not going to Afghanistan in 89.
I am not allowed to join because there was no official war going on that the US was involved in.
This bothers me because there's lots of guys who are allowed to join who did exactly what I did in Germany but since Vietnam was happening half a world away; they're golden.
My wasn't there didn't do it time would make me eligible, but I don't have a SOCOM MOS.
It seems horribly inconsistent.
Soldiers of all stripes gripe about their situation regardless of the fairness or equity of life. I feel that if I didn't complain a bit I'd lose my "Vet Street Cred®".

Apache VirtualHost on Ubuntu
Here's a quickie tutorial on how to add Virtual Hosts to Apache on Ubuntu. This tutorial assumes that you have a basic understanding of Apache configuration and that your Apache is installed and able to serve websites.
- cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
- sudo vim yourdomain.com.conf and enter your VirtualHost directive. Below I've put the most basic example, see Apache docs for details and additional features:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/youruser/public_html
Save & exit.
- sudo vim /etc/hosts and add your new domain to the 127.0.0.1 localhost line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourdomain.com
Save & exit.
- Enable your new virtualhost:
sudo a2ensite yourdomain.com.conf
- Reload the Apache configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
That's it! Repeat for each of your VirtualHosts.

Great and easy tutorial! Thanks a lot. But for virtual host to work, I needed to add "" instead of "".
Ups – something went wrong in previous post. OK, again – I replaced * with *:80 to make it work.
Good tutorial!
Simple and direct!!
nice & simple tutorial

Educating Africa
I have travelled all over the world from Bali to Tajikistan, from Greece to El Salvador. I am a passionate lover of culture and travel. There is not a place on this planet that I would not be open to visit and see firsthand if given the opportunity. I have eaten grasshoppers in Mexico, slept in a yurt in Kyrgyzstan and eaten my fair share of piping hot sambhar in India. Having said all of that -I need to make a confession. Although I have been blessed to see many parts of this amazing world,
I heart Africa.
I have an undying love for every country, every tribe, the many languages, the landscape, the food, the history, its struggles and its triumph. Although Africa does not have one singular story, I do believe that every country on that beautiful continent has the potential to mobilize its human capital to help it reach its full potential. I believe that one day, Africa will transform Africa. I also believe that there is one key that unlocks human capital in any society– and that key is education.
Education represents a powerful tool for generating jobs, improving incomes, and expanding the opportunities available to young people in developing countries. Let's look at some pretty hard facts:
The 2007 Millennium Goal Report states: Based on enrolment data, about 72 million children of primary school age in the developing world were not in school in 2005; 57 per cent of them were girls. And these are regarded as optimistic numbers the report importantly notes that "As high as this number seems, surveys show that it underestimates the actual number of children who, though enrolled, are not attending school. Moreover, neither enrolment nor attendance figures reflect children who do not attend school regularly. To make matters worse, official data are not usually available from countries in conflict or post-conflict situations. If data from these countries were reflected in global estimates, the enrolment picture would be even less optimistic.
Ummm…That's unacceptable. It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. It also makes me angry. Very. Angry.
To right such a huge wrong we will have to think big. We will need new innovative minds, looking at new ways to solve a HUGE problem. We need teachers,government, churches and entrepreneurs. A problem of this magnitude needs people who only think about results and the creation of sustainable, replicable programs. We need start up guys! People who are passionate while being hyped up on red bull- who want to channel that passion and all of their smarts and use it to find new ways to kick ass and make a solemn oath that everyone of the 72 million plus children around the world will get a quality education.
Africa has all the resources needed to mobilize its amazing social, human and financial capital, but Educating Africa is a critical first step.
Education is the face of our
Education is the face of our future. I thought this pulsewire group, The Rafiki Club, would interest you. It is a group that educates rural women in Africa through that of writing letters. It is amazing and you can contribute so much to this group with just a pen and paper.

HTC One XL Reviews
Go to HTC One XL Product Page
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 53 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by wagogamer It's always the battery I own HTC phones since 2008. I started with the HTC HD2. That was an incredible phone. The whole world changed for me. Later I switched to a HTC HD7, another great mobile. Later on I felt in love with the HTC Titan and I own this phone nowadays. In the meantime I had a HTC 8x. My first dissapointment with HTC. Now, I've got this HTC ONE XL. I don't have the money to buy the HTC ONE, so let's wait a little longer. With this phone and every phone from HTC I'm having a great experience. Excellent build quality, the screen is piece of art. But just like every smartphone today (including S4, Iphones etc), the battery just won't last for a whole day. Since I'm used to charge my phones everyday for the last 5 years, I'm giving a 5 All Star Rating for this phone. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ROMDev Great phone, but with a custom ROM, this flies! Everything is amazing about this phone, but the battery and the software is ok. With a custom ROM from XDA, the phone starts flying! Battery lasts 25 hours, and AOSP was light and smooth September 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by AlanS Useless I have had a number of HTC phones, found them all OK. Purchased a One XL and initially it was very good. Then the first update, results in very short battery life as in less than half a day with very moderate usage. The next two updates made no improvements here. The latest update with the latest HTC sync update now will not allow sync with my calender on Outlook on my PC. I use the calender frequently and have come to depend on it. Now I have to make manual duplicate entries. I am not a happy camper. With the 'out of control' updates to the phone I think this will be my last HTC. September 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by apexelec Sort out the sim card issues HTC I have had the phone for 6 months now and over the last 3 months the phone has started not recognising the sim card. I am not the only person this is happening too. Sort it out HTC, everything else about the phone is excellent. August 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by chhmelb Great phone for everyone I've had this phone for a year now and can say it has performed wonderfully from brand new. The screen is absolutely beautiful to look at and the phone is very well made...keeps on working even though I've accidentally dropped it a few times! Call clarity is amazing, especially when calling other HTC One XL phones my friends and family use. It's like being in the same room. Highly recommended for anyone who want a great phone at a very affordable price point. July 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jerald Gorgeous screen The screen on this phone looks absolutely amazing, as if it were a sticker pasted on. However, the battery life needs some work. July 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HAMED BEST HTC One XL The HTC One XL puts dual-core power in your hand, opening up a world of lightning-fast web browsing, sharp picture quality and realistic videogames, all displayed in rich 720p HD. . May 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by ItWasAlright It was just okay I have owned the HTC Legend before and I absoultely loved the phone and the battery life was fantastic and the phone was easy to use. I know own the HTC One XL and everything started out alright but the battery seems to fade within 2 hours, the phone network is usally poor, programs muck up and there are a lot of glitches for a phone with such a high expectation with performance April 23, 2013

In Mobile, Direct Sales Wins Out Against The Open Exchange
Despite a surge in programmatic buying for mobile ads, a recent Forrester report cautions that challenges unique to mobile advertising make direct sales away from open marketplaces the preferred buying method for the foreseeable future.
Based on interviews with 21 industry executives, mobile marketing analyst Jennifer Wise wrote in her report – "Mobile Advertising: It's Time to Get Personal" – that mobile campaigns require much more customization than desktop ads, and therefore direct sales are optimal.
Can one look at the evolution of programmatic buying for fixed Internet as a model for mobile? Wise said no. "(Programmatic for mobile) is not going to follow the same trajectory as desktop," Wise told AdExchanger. "Mobile has many different environments. ... It's much harder to identify the user than what we had with desktop."
Consequently, publishers face issues in collecting actionable user data for marketers, the report said, citing user privacy concerns, a lack of cookies and tracking methods that are not standardized.
Kalyan Lanka, VP of product management at data-management platform Lotame, described in a previous interview with AdExchanger why this fragmentation complicates the ability to gather user data and serve targeted ads: "It's tough to come up with an automated way (of collecting information). Now, we're working on it, but we're not there yet. So technology limitations are a big issue."
Wise also discussed mobile user interfaces in her report, writing that while consumers interact with "formerly PC channels" on their mobile devices, the experience is vastly different. For marketers, disparate standards make user-friendly advertising difficult: Different screen sizes, devices and operating systems mean there is no one-size-fits-all solution for display ads.
As Lanka noted in his AdExchanger interview: "Today, most of the consumption that happens on mobile devices is driven by a very specific goal." Task-driven users on mobile respond better to ads that fit contextually with content as to not interrupt that task.
In such a fractured marketplace, Wise concluded that "direct-to-publisher provides the optimal mobile ad experience." Brands and publishers will work best in customizing ads to a specific format, and sharing proprietary data to enhance user experience, she wrote. For example, The Weather Channel's real-time marketing platform is tying weather data to buying patterns unique to each brand.
But this sort of activity is best performed in a direct sales environment. Wise's report predicts programmatic buying of mobile inventory through DSPs and ad networks will continue to grow, but will not be as customizable as with direct sales. Ad inventory on these open marketplaces will come with less valuable user data from a larger pool of publishers.
Wise said automation will remain a component of direct ad sales, but the most effective campaigns will require a hands-on approach. "Because of the sheer size and all of the data that has to be wrangled we'll still see some automation in the process," Wise said. "It will just be a different type of buy with an added level of human input."

|Woking have won the league, admits Welling United boss Jamie Day
|Monday, 20 February 2012
WELLING UNITED player-manager Jamie Day says his side must win half their remaining games to secure a play-off place.
The Wings play their first game of February on Tuesday night when sixth-from-bottom side Havant & Waterlooville visit Park View Road.
The original game five weeks ago was postponed within an hour of kick-off due to a frozen pitch and with his side in fourth-place in the Blue Square Bet (Conference) South table with 51 points from 27 games, Day wants to get back to winning ways.
"It's been a long time. I think it's been three weeks so we've kept the boys' ticking over and we're looking forward to the game tomorrow night," said Day.
Speaking about the Hampshire side, Day said: "I think they've done alright. I know they've got beat but they're not a bad side. I think perhaps they're in a false league position and if we're not at it and we don't start fully focused and ready to go then we could come unstuck so we need to make sure that we go out there and start with the right tempo, hopefully set the pace and score an early goal.
Welling then travel to Dover Athletic next Saturday, followed by a trip to struggling Staines Town on 27 February.
Nicky Forster's Dover climbed up to sixth-place in the table following their 3-1 home win over Truro City at the weekend and have collected 44 points from their 27 league outings.
The Crabble outfit are presently seven points adrift of the Wings, while Staines are presently third-from-bottom, five points adrift of fifth-bottom Bromley.
Day, 32, who enjoyed a spell with Dover Athletic earlier in his playing career, is expecting a tough Kent derby.
"It's going to be a tough game away from home," he said.
"They've picked up and done well in the last two or three months so they still believe they can get a play-off place.
"We just got to hopefully get a result on Tuesday, go there with confidence and see if we can get a result at the Crabble."
Day added: "I look at the league and I think Dover, possibly Weston-super-Mare, are the only two at the minute, maybe Eastleigh, that can really mount a serious challenge. As long as we can pick up points along the way, I think there's fifteen games left, if we win half of them that should be enough.
"We'll go there trying to win the game and if we can it keeps us that distance (away from Dover). Hopefully we can get a win on Saturday and take it onto Monday's game."
League leaders Woking moved fourteen points clear of second placed Dartford following their 1-0 home win over Tony Burman's side at the weekend.
The Surrey outfit are seventeen points clear of the Wings, who have two games in hand.
Day admitted: "I said a good month ago, I think Woking are going to be hard to catch. I think it's done now. I think they've won the league and I think the rest of the teams are now competing for a play-off place and the teams in there now want to wrap it up as quickly as possible."
Last week Day sent goalkeeper John Whitehouse out to Ryman League Division One South play-off chasers Maidstone United, a dual-registration deal, to get his match fitness back following a lengthy injury.
"I felt John needed games," explained Day. "It's been difficult with the weather and stuff and we felt he was still carrying a knock, that's why he's gone to Maidstone so we wanted him to get match fit. He played the full 90 minutes (keeping a clean sheet in a goal-less draw at Dulwich Hamlet) on Saturday and said he felt ok so we'll review it in a month, see where we are and see how Craig Holloway's doing.
"If we need to bring John back and fight for the goalkeeper jersey then we'll do that. If John's enjoying it and he feels ok then we'll leave it like that."

The mini series from HBO are cool, especially Band of Brothers.

The mini series from HBO are cool, especially Band of Brothers.
My brother said years ago that a time will come when all TV ever made can be viewed by every one at any time.
How far along this road are we now?
HBO is not bad.but many can't afford the charges of TV settings and fees monthly by the channel! pay more attention to the poor and the non pensioners!
I love "Game of Thrones", but sadly our house no longer gets HBO.
Ah, the desolation....
2 words: Boardwalk Empire
@ Charlemagne
You mean Kelly Bundy's "Vital Social Issues and Stuff", about the bitch who ruined anonymous' perm and the hot guy.
Showcase has been making a push on the drama front with shows like Californication, and Weeds also. I think the premium drama that is being created by all of these networks is fantastic. With so much competition, incumbents don't become complacent. They take risks and push out new content, the only benefactors are the viewers! I watch multiple shows across multiple channels, you need to create a well balanced tv-network portfolio (that may be over complicating things a bit...) The only thing I do disagree with is passing over HBO. They have more than a puncher's chance at creating a winner, they're worth every penny in my books

tryptic, do you buy HBO because you want to watch movies? Dear me! You could just buy the DVD for the amount of money you pay for HBO.
If you want uninterrupted classic movies on cable you could of course watch TCM, which is free on cable, no commercials and some amazing albeit old movies.
HBO used to add value to the "viewing experience" a few years ago, but doesn't any more. It should rethink its business model or risk going the way of BlockBuster.
"If American Students applied themselves to Math and Science as much as they watched TV, they would lead the world"
You HAD to post that comment on an article about TV shows didn't you?
I don't think many of the people posting here are "students". I'm in my 40's for instance.
And I like to kick off my shoes after putting my kids to bed and helping my wife in the kitchen to watch some TV after 9 pm with a beer or a glass of wine in my hand.
And "students" watching TV is hardly the malice that is affecting American competitiveness.
Oh... and sure AMC has a couple of good shows. But can you really put that up against HBO's long line of great shows? Just off the top of my head, there's Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos, Carnivale (well, I liked it anyway), Rome, Deadwood, Entourage, True Blood, Treme, and of course Game of Thrones... all commercial-free.
And Showtime deserves a shout-out for picking up the slack a little with the likes of Weeds, Dexter, The Borgias, and most definitely Shameless.
HBO can (and I predict will, eventually) branch outside of cable systems. They already have HBO Go for subscribers. It's only a matter of time before they expand that to allow people to subscribe over the internet... wait until their exclusive contracts with the cable companies are up for renewal...
If American Students applied themselves to Math and Science as much as they watched TV, they would lead the world.
Sometimes competitiveness is a matter of simple discipline.
And it is fault(possibly a communist plot) of Red China for producing such inexpensive, large, high fidelity HDTV and filling American bedrooms....And it has made us fat.
Should've read the comments first. Looks like AMC watchers are not few and far between.
None of the greatest shows I've watched recently are on pay channels. The last great show IMO that HBO aired was Band of Brothers. But there is only so much war and gangsters that you can take.
My hall-of-fame of recent shows:
Breaking Bad - AMC
Mad Men - AMC
The Office - NBC
Wilfred - FX
Louie - FX
Rescue Me - FX
How States Got Their Shapes - History
Only In America - History
Planet Earth - Discovery
Life - Animal Planet
And, Stewart and Colbert are as much or more funny and thought-provoking as Maher. So why would anyone pay for HBO?
When I watch AMC, I get to see corner-spam for Breaking Bad every five seconds. Then at commercial, I get to see 1-2 ads for Breaking Bad. I think they do a great job keeping their viewers appraised of recent developments on Breaking Bad. It is, however, not the way I like to watch movies.
Why would I want to pay for HBO, unless I'm a Bill Maher fan, when AMC and FX are dishing out such amazing fare as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Rescue Me and Wilfred lately on basic cable? And Breaking Bad is the most amazing series I have seen on TV for a long time.
Breaking Bad and Mad Men are better than any show HBO has made.
I do not watch much TV. The marginal private cost of watching TV - otherwise the opportunity cost of time - far outweighs whatever benefit one can obtain from watching plastic blondes with plastic faces discuss the art of using make-up to attract cute guys.
Unfortunately, for modern TV entertainment series, this is what things have come to.
HBO's sun has set. AMC has taken its place as the network providing the best dramas on tv.
Ask any American, 'how many television channels they have at home?' 20 years ago the answer was 4. Today it is hundreds if not thousands of channels and the viewer probably never bother to count. Yes, they do not know how many channels they have.
But 98% of programming is garbage: Home shopping, religious programming, promotions, informercials, Opra's Operas, self help gurus, jazzercise. public service channels, community college broadcasts, puppet show, NFL Preseason pregame Super fantasy pre show, drag racing Nascar, and Wayne and Garth's Really Excellent talk show--upcoming guest Lady Gaga!
HBO is using a unique strategy of quality content to drive viewers. Compared to Hollywood Comic Book Hero II movies and Big 4 Reality Programming and Singing Contests, HBO produces serious drama and great writing.
(But I want a new drama based on a post-apocalyptic high school of a zombie student body with gangs of werewolf varsity football players and artistic loner goths and vamps who are real vampires. Imagine the racial diversity conflicts and the opportunities for understanding!)

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
USADF began programming in Liberia in 1984. Due to the country's protracted civil war during the 1990's and early 2000's, the program was suspended. USADF's operations in Liberia were fully resumed in 2006.
Focus: Rehabilitating and expanding Liberian businesses and community organizations, particularly agricultural cooperatives and artisanal fishermen and women in marginalized areas.
Underserved: Women are disadvantaged in Liberian society as a result of low levels of education. USADF grants focus on building the capacity of farmers, both in traditional agriculture and fisheries sectors, in order to increase incomes and spur rural economic growth.
Food Security: USADF supports agricultural cooperatives that produce and market Liberian staple crops such as rice and cassava. USADF grants focus on boosting local production of staple crops for national consumption, increasing food sufficiency and market expansion opportunities for locally grown food in rural and remote areas. USADF also supports artisanal fishermen and women fish processors to improve their production, processing and marketing capacity.
Conflict/Post-Conflict: As a low-income country, Liberia still struggles to rebuild its infrastructure and agricultural systems that were destroyed during more than two decades of civil war. USADF grants strengthen Liberia's small holder agricultural sector to reduce the country's dependence on food imports and foster self-sufficiency. The rebounding of the agricultural sector is essential to post-war peace and social and economic development.

Three New Drugs Approved for Type 2 Diabetes
MONDAY, Jan. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Three new related drugs designed to improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
All three drugs contain a new active ingredient, alogliptin (brand named Nesina), either by itself or with other previously approved medications. In addition to Nesina, the agency approved Kazano (alogliptin and metformin hydrocholoride) and Oseni (alogliptin and pioglitazone).
Type 2 diabetes leads the body to resist insulin or to produce insufficient amounts of the hormone, causing blood sugar to spike. The disease affects about 24 million people in the United States, accounting for more than 90 percent of diabetes cases, the FDA said in a news release.
Nesina, either by itself or in combination with other medications, was tested in 14 clinical studies involving some 8,500 people with type 2 diabetes. The new drugs should not be used by people with type 1 diabetes, or by people who have high amounts of ketones in the blood or urine, the FDA said.
The most common side effects of alogliptin included runny nose, headache and upper respiratory tract infection. Additional adverse reactions were reported among people who used the combination medications.
Kazano's label will include a "black box" warning of the possibility of lactic acidosis, a buildup of lactic acid in the blood.
All of the new medications are distributed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, based in Deerfield, Ill.

Robert Downey Jr. isn't exactly the most humble celebrity out there. He's definitely talented and has practiced his craft to perfection and well, he knows it!
During a chat with GQ, Robert got straight to the point, detailing how he really feels about himself -- even calling himself one of the best actors of his generation. "I'm probably one of the best," the Iron Man star told the mag. "But it's not that big a deal. It's not like this is the greatest swath or generation of actors that has ever come down the pike."

MONROE—The Monroe Bypass has hit a road block after its construction was halted by a court order.
The North Carolina Turn Pike Authority received news Thursday from the U.S. Court of Appeals to halt planned construction of the road. The court ruled that the North Carolina Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration did not adequately consider the full environmental impact of the 20-mile toll road from Matthews to Union County.
Construction of the Monroe Bypass was expected to begin this summer.
N.C. Turn Pike Authority spokesperson Reid Simons said despite the delay they can continue working in a limited capacity.
"Technically we can move along with design and right-of-way as we've planned but construction will be delayed for sometime, we're not sure about how long at this point," said Simons.
Simons said they will have a more definitive time line and cost assessment by next week.
They say the Monroe Bypass delays will have no impact on the Garden Parkway project in Gaston County.
