My partner and I, Pat, who is camera shy, had been taking our entire families on vacation for years in lieu of presents. We both love to travel and needed a warm and accessible place to get away and relax. We love Mexico and in particular Puerto Vallarta for the combination of mountains, beaches and the ocean. We decided the minute we walked through the Spanish Arches of Casa Vista los Arcos and saw the view and beautiful villa that this was for us. Welcome! Jamie & Pat, Chicago, IL.
Jamie Sutherland purchased this villa in 2007
For us, the south side of Banderas Bay was the preferred spot. You have the combination of mountaiins, jungle, wildlife, beaches, water actvities and many of the family activities such as zip lines, boating, jungle treking and the botanical gardens. The south side is truely Mexico. If you want to see water, mountains, beautiful beaches, fantastic villas and wildlife instead of McDonalds, then the south side is for you.
The owner donated a week to our anual auction. I am CFO for an agency that provides HIV prevention and treatment services. It was our largest donation ever and I also know that the owner has been very generous to not only our organizations but many in The Chicagoland Area. I was the winning bidder at another charitiy's auction. I took my sisters, their children and my partner on the vacation of a lifetime that we will all remember. This property is even better in-person than the photos even depict. I have never been to such a tranquil place in my life. I highly recommend this property, it's staff and it's generous owner.
We stayed here with two families including 5 kids ranging from 8-14 years old and we had a blast. The house was awesome; the girls and boys had their own quarters, and both master suites were great. The walk down to the beach was easy, and we managed to get a $5 deal for a ride back up each day (at the Taxi stand). They are quite negotiable. The highlight of the trip was dining at La Choza (Tony's) in Mismaloya at sunset. Ask for Tino on the beach; he works at one of the small restaurants and took care of us all week. The locals on the beach will beat any tour/excursion price. The El Eden zip lines were a blast, and we fished and snorkeled from the Mismaolya beach. I think if I were to do it again I would get a rental car just for the ride up and down the hill. We had breakfast included each day, which was wonderful. We purchased some food at a tiny store in Mismaloya and cooked our own dinner a couple of times, with the remaining meals on the beach or at one of the restaurants in town. 99% of our 7 days were spent in Mismaloya; there is not much reason to leave. I would do it again!
We just returned the end of Jan from this beautiful home away from home... we had a 60 th birthday celebration and we were able to enjoy the first week with very close friends of ours ...4couples and the second week with our sons and their significant others.... We will cherish the memories that we will hold close in our hearts. the views were amazing and Jorge and Anna made our stay very comfortable. We didn't mind the walk down the road to the beach and into Mismaloya proper but some older people might not enjoy this as it is a bit of a work out on the old knees... a cheap cab always got us home and the bus into town is cheap as well. We didn't rent a car but chose to hire private driver for day trips... To Seyulita... A great surfing town... Everyone loved it and then we hired our own boat guy to tKe us to Yelapa for afternoon and did a bit of fishing with the guy. my husband caught a beautiful 20 lb bull head dolphin which we really enjoyed eating at our villa. The Villa was fully equipped with everything you need to make your holiday a truly relaxing time. We would return to the villa again if we decide to come back to this area.The only thing my husband and I really wished was that the actual beach was one that you could take long walks on... And that unfortunately isn't an option...El Jaculitas was our very most favorite and so reasonable... we ate at Tony's and it was good but compared to El Jaculitas we all agreed the food wasn't as good for the money. we had a great dinner in town at the Blue Shrimp... And for shit and giggles we all headed over to Andeles where we drank a little too much and once again my husband made another memory...ride the donkey... No you are never too old to have fun... We sure did. thanks Jamie for all your help and information before hand ... And say hi to Jorge and Anna when you speak to them... Tell Jorge and Anna I'm missing my breakfast each and every day....

This trip was a Christmas gift to my adult children and grandchildren who all went and had the time of their lives. They just raved about Jorge and Lorena and their family who they met. They loved the accommodations and the house help and the area and it sounds like they did it all: snorkeling, swimming with dolphins and sea lions, in to PV and Sayulita and San Pancho and some other deserted beach just north of there....they hiked, they paddle-boarded, body surfed and just in general lived la vida loca for 11 days!! It will be hard to top this when Christmas rolls around in 2015...I think they would just like an annual pass to this beautiful villa in Mismaloya.
This trips was the Christmas gift to my adult kids and grandkids...all ten of them went and had the time of their lives. They just raved about Jorge and Lorena and their family who they met.

It will be hard to top this year's Christmas present in the future...I think they would like an annual pass!
This house is absolutely beautiful we enjoyed it a lot. The houseman Jorge is awesome and extremely friendly and helpful. The only down fall was the construction next door which I knew was going on when I booked the house. It was a little noisy but totally doable and I would stay here again no questions asked. Jay was great to deal with the entire time leading up to the stay.
The views were outstanding. The food served was fresh and very well presented and prepared. What a taste sensation! The restaurants were also high quality.The swimming pool was perfect.The multilevel house layout was really cool. Comfortable clean sleeping and shower. I liked all the tile throughout the entire property. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The manager was responsive and tried to please.The Botanical Gardens were worth seeing. Boat rides to nearby coves and beaches was fun. The people were friendly. i would recommend this as a vacation destination.
Casa Vista Los Arcos overlooks Mismaloya Beach, the beach where 'Night of The Iguana' was filmed, which made Puerto Vallarta famous. Just beyond the beach lies Los Arcos, the large rock formations where everyone goes to snorkel, fish and watch the whales. The general area is termed Conchas Chinas (The Gold Coast) with large villas sprinkled across the jungle hillsides and along the coastline. The area offers an abundance of fine dining and local fair along with activities galore. The New Botanical Gardens, The Zoo, Chico's Paradise, canopy tours, hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and jungle excursions on foot, horseback or on ATVs are all minutes away. There are also many small fishing villages and private beaches that are accessible only by boat. And for those who want to party and shop, Downtown Puerto Vallarta is only 15 minutes up the one main road. Drive, take a taxi, water taxi or bus to town--The villa is perfectly located to relax during the day and go to town at night.

The show was fabulous, she said. There was a larger Greater Pittston contingent in the audience but, Quinn said, people came from all over: Canada, Connecticut, Maryland, Pittsburgh, to name a few. Carol Crane, the library's fundraising director, said final figured are not in on how much the library raised. It was an overwhelming success, Crane said. Shawn Klush is one of a kind.

UK may cut Iraq force in half by mid-2007: commander
By Peter Graff
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain may cut its force in Iraq in
half by the middle of next year after handing over security
responsibility for the south to Iraqis within nine months, a
senior British commander said on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters on condition he not be identified,
the commander said Britain would leave "quite a significantly
smaller force than we've got now, but probably in the region of
3,000 to 4,000 people based in a single location."
Britain handed over responsibility for one of the southern
provinces it controls to Iraqi forces in July, and the
commander said it hopes to hand over a second province next
Most of Britain's 7,000 troops in Iraq are based around the
second city of Basra, where the commander said a transition to
Iraqi control could take place in the first quarter of 2007.
"These are all conditions-based, subject to a variety of
factors, but in terms of the tactical plan and the competence
of the Iraqi army, it is perfectly feasible," he said.
He said the first thousand British troops could start
returning home in the next 4 to 6 months, in part representing
forces being drawn down from Maysan province, where Britain has
already begun moving out of its main base.
The 3,000 to 4,000-strong British force would remain in the
Basra area after the handover "to protect our investment" in
security in the mainly-Shi'ite south and show support for U.S.
troops still facing security problems in other parts of Iraq.
"We anticipate there is not going to be a political
appetite to saying 'alright, we're done' while there is still
unfinished business in the center of the country," the
commander said.
Britain has maintained a force of between 7,000 and 8,000
troops in southern Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
The mainly-Shi'ite south has been far more peaceful than
Sunni-dominated and ethnically mixed provinces in the center of
the country.
But Basra has seen a surge in violence over the past year,
which British officials blame on rival Shi'ite factions
battling for control of the city, which is at the heart of one
of Iraq's main oil-producing regions.
The British commander said the main security concerns are
local militia, such as offshoots of the Jaish al-Mehdi — the
Mehdi Army — of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
"The mainstream Jaish al-Mehdi are not a particular worry,
but there are rogue elements, some of them rather alarmingly
close to government structures."

Scholarship Dinner Joins Donors and Recipients
By Andrew Barker
Nov. 6, 2009 | The University of Wisconsin-River Falls Foundation held its annual scholarship dinner in October, attended by more than 200 scholarship recipients, donors and staff. This year, the UWRF Foundation awarded more than $630,000 in scholarship to some 500 students for the 2009-10 school year.
The dinner was meant to introduce the recipient of the scholarship with the scholarship funder, giving the recipient an opportunity to meet the donor and learn why the scholarship was established.
Speakers at the event included student Emily Pfannes, who talked about how scholarships have impacted her life.
Scholarships have given me the opportunity to attend this University as well as experience new things, said Pfannes. They have allowed me to save money to study abroad as well a join clubs. said Emily Pfannes.
Over the past 22 years, the UW-River Falls Foundation has distributed about 11,000 scholarships worth more than $5.7 million.
Scholarships funded by our alumni and friends through the UWRF Foundation provide wonderful opportunities to our students, many of whom come from families of modest means, said Chancellor Dean Van Galen. The experience of receiving a high-quality education at UW-River Falls is truly life-changing, and we are deeply grateful to those who help to provide this opportunity through charitable support of student scholarships.
The UW-River Falls Foundation serves as the central fundraising agency for the University and ensures that gifts are sought, well-managed, productively invested and used as directed by donors.
Interim Executive Director of University Advancement Dan McGinty said: Scholarships are a huge help to students, it gives them a chance for more of an opportunity. Establishing a scholarship gives you great satisfaction in that you are changing the life of a student.

Re: Baba 35 vs Tayana 37 vs Hans Christian 38
I own a Tayana 37, so take this with a grain of salt. The Baba is probably a better constructed boat, but she's also heavier for her size. Same goes for the HC, I believe. Realize the T37 is out of the picture now, but I would say she's the best sailor of the three (and caveat: I have not actually sailed on the Baba). For build quality, I would have gone for the Baba, but she has the lowest SA/D of the three, therefore probably not the best sailor. The Tayana 37 is well built, but there are some issues that you should be aware of -- moot point now that she's out of the running. Between your two choices, if the $20K is not an issue, I'd go with the HC though.

Honda "feeling" by Wieden & Kennedy London

By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 27 May 2011 03:15PM
The clothing retailer's pilot testing of the Ad Pad unit, which Struq's founder Sam Barnett claims is the first to give users control within the ad, comes in the same week the new law on cookies took effect.
Struq, which enables advertisers to serve targeted and retargeted ads based on users' browsing history, believes the level of control the unit gives users makes staying opted-in more attractive for them than opting-out.
The unit features the same "i" logo featured in the cross-industry Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) framework led by IAB Europe, to which Struq is a signatory.
Rolling over the "i" logo prompts the message "edit your ad", which when clicked takes the user to a menu.
Users can confirm or withdraw interest in products featured in the All Saints ad, turning off ads from All Saints, and turning off all Struq ads.
The menu also carries a link through to the IAB's Your Online Choices guide to online behavioural advertising.
Yesterday the new law on e-privacy, requiring companies using most types of cookies to get explicit consent from internet users, came into force.
However, the Government has backed a phased approach giving the industry time to come up with workable technical solutions. The Information Commissioner's Office, which is responsible for enforcing the regime, yesterday announced it would wait a year before doing so.
Struq has around 186 clients, according to Barnett, and typically works for large advertisers in a particular vertical on an exclusive basis.

KPMG's leadership blogs brings you insight, opinion and debate from our senior partners and industry experts.
As Facebook celebrates its 10th birthday, KPMG's head of Information Protection & Business Resilience argues that we have only just seen the start of the social media revolution.
Malcolm Marshall says: "In the last 10 years Facebook has grown to 1.2 billion active users, with a revenue of $7.9 Bn in 2013. Big numbers, but also just $6.50 of revenue for each active user. So the question for me is: how can we help users get more from their social media and really grow the market?"
"For me the market is only just beginning to mature. As it grows we can expect users to become far more savvy about the value of their information, and the return they demand from offering a window into their lives and hopes. Privacy is ultimately a personal choice, but that needs to be an educated choice, with more transparency about the trade social media platforms offer users between their privacy and the marketing or provision of tailored services. Society will debate people's rights over their data, and rightly demand market models which allow users to share in the value generated from that data. All of this must be founded on trust between users and social media providers."
"We can also expect governments to attempt regulation of social media, whether to protect the vulnerable in society, or in some cases to succumb to the temptation to limit free speech. Social media is not beyond law, albeit that jurisdiction is tricky to determine, and we can expect more cases around defamation and even debates on just who owns the rights to your social media presence after death. Governments will start to concern themselves more with the functioning of the market, challenging monopolies and anti-competitive behaviours. All of this comes with a maturing market, but I am under no illusion how difficult this will be in such a rapidly changing environment."
"More and more personal data will be traded, not just photographs and postings, but every aspect of lives from our every movement to the always on video from our personal webcam. Our devices will be on-line reporting on the food we eat, the electricity we use, and even how we drive our car. We can expect innovative models for exploiting that data, but equally growing concerns over misuse and abuse of that data. While that data is a goldmine for commerce, it is also a wonderful opportunity for organised crime and, as Edward Snowden's disclosures have shown, for intelligence services."

Miami doesnt have a top-tier professional soccer team, but dont be fooled into thinking the worlds game doesnt resonate with the citys diverse ethnic underbelly. Havent you seen those carpeted mini-soccer fields sprouting up like weeds all over town? The Miami Heat might have three kings, but to the citys Hispanic and Caribbean population, soccer is king. And if you have any doubt, head to Florida International Universitys Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium Friday for the CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer double-header featuring Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Grenada.
Sure, nobody has heard anything from Grenada since Reagan sent troops to fight the biggest military mismatch in history, but the other three teams have some legitimate soccer acumen. For instance, Jamaicas Reggae Boyz participated in the 1998 World Cup (its like the Super Bowl times a hundred), and Bob Marley was a lifelong player and fan. Honduras competed in the last World Cup, and if anybody doubts how soccer-crazed the Catrachos can be, just look at the war sparked between Honduras and neighboring El Salvador after a soccer match in 1970. Guatemala never qualified for the World Cup, but it won the Gold Cup in 1967. The 2011 Gold Cup is being played across the United States, and Fridays double-header represents the only matches played in South Florida. Jamaica takes on Guatemala at 7 p.m., and Grenada plays Honduras at 9. The first- and second-place finishers in this group will go on to compete in the quarterfinals later this month.

PNB completes P5-B offer of long-term deposits
Fund-raising exercise ended on the same day it was launched
Philippine National Bank completed a P5-billion offering of long-term deposits on the same day it launched the product—one of the fastest fund-raising seen in the local capital market to date.
The banking arm of taipan Lucio Tan on Friday announced that it had successfully raised the amount last Thursday through a public offering of long-term negotiable certificates of time deposits (LTNCDs) at a record-low interest rate.
PNB reported that, with an oversubscribed book early in its offering, the 5.5-year LTNCD issuance was priced at 3 percent per annum, the lowest ever coupon for such an instrument. The public offer period was supposed to run for three days, from July 25 to 29, but it was closed the same morning as the launch due to strong demand, the bank said in a press statement.
"We are overwhelmed by the confidence and support of our investors in PNB. This fundraising exercise will allow us to support our asset growth, and make us even more competitive in the banking industry," PNB president Omar Mier said.
HSBC acted as sole lead arranger and bookrunner for PNB's offering of LTNCDs, which are negotiable certificates of time deposit with a designated maturity or tenor representing a bank's obligation to pay the face value upon maturity, as well as make periodic coupon or interest payments during the life of the deposit.
These deposits are covered by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp., which insures up to P500,000 per depositor. Interest is paid quarterly, and is tax-exempt for qualified individuals if held for at least five years. The minimum denomination of the LTNCD is P500,000 with additional investments of P100,000 thereafter.
"Raising P5 billion just a few hours into its first offering day, and pricing the LTNCD at the lower end of pricing guidance, is a testament to PNB's franchise," said Wick Veloso, HSBC Philippines president.
LTNCDs PNB merged with Allied Banking Corp. earlier this year, making PNB the fourth largest privately owned bank in the Philippines in terms of total assets.

Were you a fan of Zone of the Enders back in the day ? Were you planning on buying the HD Collection ? Were you, by any chance, wondering if Konami had dropped the ball on giving the two cult games the proper treatment they deserve ? Wonder no more. Behold
Do note: the original PS2 incarnations ran at a near-constant 60fps. Not only do these two HD collections run way below that (the PS3 version especially), but according to this NeoGAF thread, the games are missing some special effects as well. So not only do these run worse than the originals, but they look worse as well. You would be better off taking your PS2 discs, putting them into your PC and playing on an emulator. Sigh.

Nutricology, Prolive, 90 Tablets
By NutricologyWrite a Review
Expiration Date:?Dec 2015
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

To help spread Christmas spirit to those less fortunate, Columbia County-based organizations are looking for help from the community.
When HELP Can't Wait is looking for church groups, businesses and individuals to make the season bright for elderly residents living at nursing homes in Columbia and Richmond counties.
For the past five years, the Martinez organization has recruited area churches and companies to "adopt" a nursing home in December.
Columbia County officials have hired an attorney for help in finding a way to legally halt construction of a "low-income" development in Martinez.
Patrick O'Connor, with the Oliver Maner firm in Savannah, Ga., was hired Friday afternoon examine the planned construction of Magnolia Trace on Old Ferry Road, County Administrator Scott Johnson said in an email.
It's time for choir members at Abilene Baptist Church to rock around the Christmas tree.
Four presentations of Abilene's 33rd annual Singing Christmas Tree are scheduled at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 and 7 p.m. Sunday.
The seasonal performances typically bring 4,500 to 6,000 people to the church, which is across from the intersection of Washington and Columbia roads, said Abilene Music Minister Tommy Sunderland.
"We hear all the time from folks ... that the Singing Christmas Tree starts their season off," Sunderland said.
The Columbia County Choral Society is set to celebrate the meaning of Christmas through song.
The choral society's annual Christmas performance, A Service of Lessons and Carols, is planned for 7:30 p.m. Friday at First Baptist Church of Evans, 515 N. Belair Road.
The concert is based on The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from The King's College of our Lady and St. Nicholas in Cambridge, England, which is broadcast live each Christmas Eve, Choral Society Artistic Director Timothy Powell said.
Christmas came a couple of weeks early for a group of children who must battle burn injuries every day.
About 40 young patients of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital arrived Tuesday evening in style to Target in Mullins Crossing. After three stretch SUV limos dropped them off in front of the Evans store, they were greeted by Santa Claus and camera flashes from family and friends.
Residents say they will be looking for more information about a planned affordable housing development when they visit Tuesday's Columbia County Commission meeting.
The Magnolia Trace subdivision, off Old Ferry Road, is slated for 50 single-family rental homes subsidized through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
Winners of the 2011 Community Pride Design Awards were announced Thursday during a Columbia County Planning Commission meeting.

Publishers WeeklyMore than 20 years in the making, this detailed memoir covers the author's long, eventful life that includes fighting against the French in the Viet Minh Army from 1945 to 1950, and much longer service on the other side as a solider and politician serving the national governments of South Vietnam fighting the communists. A fervent nationalist and devout Buddhist, Chau had become disillusioned, seeing Ho Chi Minh and other leaders as more committed to communist ideology than to the Vietnamese people. Chau rose to the upper echelons of the South Vietnamese government, but fell prey to the political machinations of his former close friend and was jailed on trumped-up charges. After the communist takeover in 1975, Chau was placed in draconian re-education camps until he and his family escaped to the U.S. in 1979. Chau offers thoughts on what the Americans did wrong during the Vietnam War with a list that includes arrogance; ignorance of Vietnamese history, society and culture; and the failure to gain the trust of the Vietnamese at the grassroots level. The book is clearly-if sometimes tiresomely -written. It contains a mountain of eyewitness testimony from a high-placed player in nearly every important military and political event that occurred in South Vietnam from the end of WWII until the communist victory in 1975. 10 B&w photos.

The Mystery of the Missing Chromosome
By CARL ZIMMER - DISCOVER MAGAZINE BLOGS
Added: Sat, 21 Jul 2012 18:16:09 UTC
There's something fascinating about our chromosomes. We have 23 pairs. Chimpanzees and gorillas, our closest living relatives, have 24. If you come to these facts cold, you might think this represented an existential crisis for evolutionary biologists. If we do indeed descend from a common ancestor with great apes, then our ancestors must have lost a pair after our lineage branched off, some six million years ago. How on Earth could we just give up an entire chromosome.
A close look at our genome and the genome of our close relatives reveals that we didn't. We just combined a couple of them. Every now and then, chromosomes fuse. This fusion occurs as sperm and eggs develop, as pairs of chromosomes fold over each other and swap chunks of DNA. Sometimes two different chromosomes grab onto each other and then fail to separate. Scientists have observed both humans and mammals with fused chromosomes. Chromosomes typically have distinctive stretches of DNA in their center and at their ends. From time to time, scientists will find an individual that's short a chromosome, but one of the chromosomes it retains now has an odd structure, with chromosome endings near the middle and other peculiar features.
This might seem like a fantastic mutation–something like a human and a horse being joined into a centaur. Remarkably, however, fused chromosomes are real, and there are surprising number of normal, healthy people carrying them.
If humans and apes did indeed share a common ancestor, then it would make sense that two chromosomes fused in our ancestors. The rise of genome sequencing allowed them to test that hypothesis. They found that human chromosome two bears the hallmarks of an ancient chromosome fusion, with remnants of chromosome ends nestled at its core. In 2005, it became possible to test the hypothesis again, when a team of scientists sequenced the chimpanzee genome and could compare it to the human genome. The chimp genome team were able to match human chromosome two to two unfused chromosomes in the chimpanzee genome.

Gear Question
Im looking to buy these and i was wondering,...
Im looking to buy these and i was wondering, i wear a size 10 1/2 street shoe, and to be more exact my feet are a little over 10 and a half inches. so i was wondering how these would fit? should i go with a 9 or a 9 1/2 or just go a half size smaller? i know the norm is a whole size but these are more agressive looking then the last pair i have owned so im not to sure. Thanks.
im looking at this chart. http://www.sportiva.com/products/sizing.php should i go with the 42 1/2 or 43? im just not sure.
Matt Oliver
How the shoe will fit is a much more complicated than how big your foot is or what street shoe size you were. There are several aspects to consider. Your foot shape and your climbing style are two that make a big difference. These shoes are a somewhat sizable investment to be making without doing proper homework, so my suggestion is go to your local shop and try them on. After that, try everything else they have on as well. Unfortunately this will really be the only way you can guarantee a good fit for you.
That being said, here is what I can tell you. In my experience La Sportiva's tend to run slender, I have wide feet with low arches and La Sportivas dont fit me very well. Another very key aspect of this shoe to keep in mind is that though part of the upper is leather, it is backed with a synthetic lining. Meaning the shoe will not stretch like a conventional full leather upper shoe. You mentioned dropping down to a 9 or 9 ½. I would guess this is too small.
My guesstimated size for you would be around a 43. For a more aggressive fit, the toe box of the shoe should be small enough that your toes do not extend out from your foot, but they should not be crushed. Think of the way you curl your toes under before trying to stand on your tippy toes. If the shoe is too tight it may be too painful to put your full weight on your toes, and you wont be able to wear them for long periods. The shoe will break in some, so a little tightness is ok, but dont count on them stretching.
Brad Mullins
I wear a 11.5 street shoe, and I sized my Testarossas at a 42. You don't want these shoes to be loose or sloppy at all, and even though they are lined, they stretched quite a lot. I would not have gone any larger with mine at all. They are perfect. If I was you, I would with a 41.5, or even smaller. These shoes are super aggressive, and should be sized as such. My advice would be to try a bunch of sizes on, find the one that feels the way you want it to fit, then downsize 1.5 sizes. If you want a more comfortable shoe, you should go with something less aggressive. There is nothing worse than a sloppy climbing shoe. I hope that helps!
They will stretch and break in, I wear a 46 in street shoes, size 12, and I ordered a 44.5 in the testarossas and I wish i had gone another half size down. La Sportiva shoes always need to be sized down a bit in order to get the tightness that you want. If you can wiggle your toes separately, then the shoe is too big and should be sized down a little. I have a normal to wide foot and these fit great because of the laces, which allow you to customize the tightness of the shoe to make them fit like a glove. These shoes will hug your feet and I only lace them up when I am about to try something serious, because otherwise they just work so well loose laced. Hope this helps.
I wear an 11 street shoe and wear a 40 in testarossa. its a little painful but they break in nicely.
Chris Duan
I have them in size 40.5, which is a street shoe size 8. I wear a street shoe size 10.5. What are some tips for getting them broken in quickly? I just got them for my birthday.

Every Wednesday, Marc Chaikin applies his groundbreaking analysis to an ETF or a sector. Today, he looks at SPDR S&P Transportation ETF (XTN).
The Transportation group has been outperforming the overall stock market and has recently made new highs. This strength, led by Airlines, Trucking and Railroad stocks reflects the overall strength in the U.S. economy. Two key economic metrics highlight this strength. Rail traffic has reached new 3 year highs with recent July reports indicating a 10% year over year increase in rail car loadings. The second economic number which points to an improving U.S. economy is the low level of jobless claims which now stands at a 5 year trough. In spite of the cautious naysayers, the action of the Transportation industry confirms that the economy is strong and growing.
There are two Transportation ETFs to consider. One is the SPDR S&P Transportation ETF (XTN), while the other is the iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average ETF (IYT). The major difference between the two, other than size, is the fact that the XTN is equal weighted while the IYT is price weighted. We prefer the equal weighted XTN which benefits from interest in some of the mid- sized Airline and Trucking stocks which have a bullish Chaikin Power Gauge rating.
The Chaikin Power Bar below indicates that 19 stocks in the XTN have a bullish Power Gauge rating while only 2 have a bearish rating.
With the strength in the Transportation group likely to continue, the simple way to benefit is to buy the XTN, preferably on short-term pullbacks, or to find the strongest stocks in the XTN, based on their Power Gauge ratings, which are likely to outperform the market and the ETF itself.
The Portfolio Health Check is an excellent tool to help zero in on the strongest stocks in an outperforming ETF like the SPDR S&P Transportation ETF (XTN). By looking at the individual component stocks through the lens of the 20 factor Chaikin Power Gauge rating, you can easily find the stocks in this outperforming ETF with the strongest potential over the next 3-6 months. These are the stocks to consider buying as this strong group has recently seen renewed strength, triggering a Relative Strength Buy Signal in Chaikin Analytics as it reversed up from its 21 day average price.
The Chaikin Power Grid (see below) maps stocks and industry groups from strong to weak so you can easily determine the best and worst stocks in any ETF. To find the strongest stocks in the XTN, we look to the upper right quadrant of the Power Grid (strong Power Gauge stocks) where we find stocks with the best potential for price gains over the next 3-6 months. Our favorites in this ETF include the Airline stocks, namely Southwest Air (LUV), Jet Blue (JBLU) and Spirit Airlines (SAVE). A very successful hedge fund, Lone Pine Capital, recently announced a 6% stake in Spirit Airlines. In the Trucking industry Amerco (UHAL) and Ryder Systems (R), stand out as attractive. Ryder made a new high yesterday while Amerco recently triggered a Relative Strength Buy Signal in Chaikin Analytics. Finally in the Railroad group, CSX Corp. (CSX) and Union Pacific (UNP) spiked up to new highs yesterday and show strong institutional buying based on the Chaikin Money Flow indicator.
Over time, strong stocks in strong industry groups will outperform weak stocks in weak groups.
A number of these stocks will be reporting earnings tomorrow and there is usually price volatility surrounding earnings reports. If there are short-term dips in stocks like Southwest Air (LUV), Jet Blue (JBLU) or Union Pacific (UNP), all of which report earnings before the opening Thursday July 24th, this may represent a decent buying opportunity.

My daughter had fun showing off her new boots.
She sat on the mounting block at our barn door. She wore a $12 dress which was a halloween costume. Pretty cute I thought!

Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: These visually impaired but determined group of people are out to create history on Sunday. The IDL Foundation's band, ``Ability in Disability'' will be performing at Hotel Grand Ashok , displaying their wide repertoire of songs in different languages. One song will be specially dedicated to the victims of natural calamities such as the tsunami and those who died in the bomb blasts in Mumbai.
The band has musicians on the key board, guitars, flute and congos besides six vocalists. They have been training for six months for this show. ``The process of seeing these musicians rehearsing and bringing out feeling of joy and brotherhood through music has been humbling'' says P.K.Paul, executive trustee of the foundation.
The band has on earlier occasions played for the Governor of Karnataka, the Mayor of Bangalore and Infosys founder N.R.Narayana Murthy.
The invited audience on Sunday is expected to include the Indian cricket team. One song is dedicated to the team.

"Ordered this for my daughter's Sweet 16. We were thrilled with the quality when it arrived. The card has a texture and is thick. Ordered the white rectangular envelopes that are fitted so that you don't incur extra postage and they look fine with it. It really is a beautiful invitation and makes a classy statement."
"I love the textured paper it makes it truly interesting. My party theme was not pink and black and because of that I believe there should be more color options. The ecru background and envelopes truly give it a royal feeling. Arrived on time. Envelopes were not the right ones (probably my mistake) and they sent the correct ones for free."
"I loved that I could add a message to the back of the card. The paper is very good quality with some texture. This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 13th birthday party... not too little girlish... not too grown up! Can't beat the colors!"

Rashad Ray and Pat Swilling Jr. scored 11 points each to lead Tulsa to a 61-42 victory against Missouri State on Wednesday night. Swilling Jr., son of former Georgia Tech and NFL linebacker Pat Swilling, made two 3-pointers in 19 minutes off the bench for the Golden Hurricane (5-3). Drew Wilson had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Bears (2-6). Missouri State never led after 15:14 remained in the first half but was within eight points with eight minutes to play. But 3-pointers by Scottie Haralson and Swilling were the dagger, igniting an 11-2 run that gave Tulsa control. The Bears shot just 29.4 percent from the floor, including 6 of 24 in the second half. Shaquille Harrison had 10 points and seven rebounds for the Hurricane, whose first-year coach, Danny Manning, scored 42 points for Kansas against Missouri State in the second round of the 1987 NCAA tournament.

The Meade Model 928 Image Erecting Prism for Meade Refracting Telescopes 07217 produces a correctly oriented image and convenient 45° observing angle for terrestrial observations. Meade refracting telescope models (like all refractors) normally produce an image that is reversed or "inverted" due to the inherent nature of the lenses used in their optical configuration. This left to right mirror reversal of the image poses no problem for astronomy, however in terrestrial observing a corrected image is highly desirable which is where this useful accessory comes in. For observing wildlife, a home with a view, or other Earthly applications the Meade 928 Erecting Prism for Telescopes results in an image which is both right side up and corrected left to right. It also provides a comfortable 45° observing angle which is more convenient for daytime use. For all Meade refractors with 1.25" focusers including 70AZ, DS-2080 and DS-2090, and LXD75 AR5 and AR-6. The Meade 928 Erecting Prism may also be used with LX90, LX200 or other Schmidt-Cassegrain or Advanced Coma Free models with a 1.25" eyepiece holder.
Note: Not compatible with ETX models.

From the reviews:
"Negotiating the Life Course is an edited volume by Ann Evans and Janeen Baxter that focuses on the life trajectories of Australian men and women. … provides an elaborate compendium that recognizes the closely intertwined relationship between paid work and family in shaping the life course and succeeds in illustrating the driving forces behind life course changes in Australia. In this sense, this volume is a valuable resource for any scholar interested in comparative life-course research and in the Australian case in particular." (Christian Schmitt, European Journal of Population, Vol. 29, 2013)

The groovy native launcher is a native program for launching gro=
ovy scripts. It compiles to an executable binary file, e.g. groovy.exe on W=
indows. Note that you still need to have groovy and a JRE or JDK installed,=
i.e. the native launcher is a native executable replacement for the startu=
p scripts (groovy.bat, groovy).
The native launcher is included in the Groovy Windows installer. For oth= er platforms, if your package management system does not have it, you will = have to compile it yourself. This is not hard, you just need to have SCons = (and Python) installed.=20
Essentially the launcher does the same thing that the normal Java launch= er (java executable) - it dynamically loads the dynamic library containing = the JVM and hands the execution over to it. It does not start a separate pr= ocess (i.e. it does not call the java executable).=20
The native launcher aims to compile and run on any os and any JDK/JRE &g= t;=3D 1.4. If you are using a combination of os+jdk/jre that is not support= ed, please post a JIRA enhancement request and support will be added.= =20
At the moment, the following platforms have been tested:=20
At the moment, the following JDKs/JREs have been tested=20
The current version of the native launcher works with any version of Gro= ovy.=20
Here are precompiled binaries for Windows:=20
They are not guaranteed to be completely up to date with the sources of = HEAD in the Subversion repository, but they should work.=20
Hopefully we will have precompiled binaries for all supported platforms = in the future.=20
The same binaries work for all the Groovy executables (groovy, groovyc, = groovysh...). Just copy / (soft)link to the executable with the name of the= executable you want, e.g. on Windows=20
copy groovy.exe groovyc.exe=20
and on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.:=20
ln -s groovy groovyc=20
In addition the build produces launchers for gant and grails.=20
A note about gant: the gant launcher is meant for standalone gant instal= lation. To use gant installed into your groovy installation (e.g. by groovy= windows installer) use the renamed groovy executable as described above.= p>=20
To get the sources please see the native launcher git repository.=20
The executables are compiled using SCons. For Windows there is a SCon= s installer that can be used after having installed Python - The SCons = build framework is written in Python. SCons is part of Cygwin and can be in= stalled using the usual installer. The same goes for MacPorts on Mac OS X, = though there is a disk image installer as well. For Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora,= SuSE, etc. SCons is packages and so the usual package management can be us= ed to install. The build has only been tested with SCons 0.98 and greater, = it may not work with earlier versions of SCons.=20
Once you have SCons installed then simply typing:=20
will compile things for the platform you are compiling on. Type:=20
scons -h=20
for a short help message about the native launcher build and=20
scons -H=20
for a message about using scons.=20
The native launcher, if compiled with default options, will look up groo= vy and java installation locations as described below. However, on some pla= tforms (linux and other *nix variants) it may be desirable for performance = and security reasons to "hardwire" these locations, i.e. set them= to fixed values at compile time.=20
Currently, native launcher supports setting three things at compile time= (together or separately): GROOVY_HOME, GROOVY_STARTUP_JAR and JAVA_HOME by= passing in the values to scons build via "extramacros" option.= p>=20
scons extramacros=3D"GROOVY_HOME=3D/usr/share/groovy GROOV= Y_STARTUP_JAR=3D/usr/share/groovy/lib/groovy-1.5.1.jar"=20
To test that the binary you compiled uses preset locations, run groovy w= / environment variable __JLAUNCHER_DEBUG set, e.g.=20
__JLAUNCHER_DEBUG=3Dtrue build/groovy -v=20
The launcher will print debug info to stderr, among other things how it = obtained the locations of groovy and java installations.=20
On Windows you can either compile with the Microsoft cl compiler and lin= ker or you can use GCC, either the MinGW version of the Cygwin ver= sion.=20
If you are not already using Cygwin, then you may want to investigate us= ing MSYS and the MinGW toolchain.=20
Compiling with the Cygwin or MinGW GCC produces executables that depend = only dlls that are found on Windows by default. If you compile with Visual = Studio, you will need an extra dll that may or may not be found on a partic= ular windows system. The dll you need depends on the Visual Studio version,= see here for details.=20
Try running the generated executable - if there's no complaint abo= ut a missing dll, you're fine.=20
To use the native launcher, you need to either place the executable in t= he bin directory of groovy installation OR set the GROOVY_HOME environment = variable to point to your groovy installation.=20
The launcher primarily tries to find the groovy installation by seeing w= hether it is sitting in the bin directory of one. If not, it resorts to usi= ng GROOVY_HOME environment variable. Note that this means that GROOVY_HOME = environment variable does not need to be set to be able to run groovy.= =20
The native launcher uses the following order to look up java installatio= n to use:=20
To put it another way - JAVA_HOME does not need to be set.=20
The native launcher accepts accepts all the same parameters as the .bat = / shell script launchers, and a few others on top of that. For details, typ= e=20
groovy -h=20
Any options not recognized as options to groovy are passed on to the jvm= , so you can e.g. do=20
groovy -Xmx250m myscript.groovy=20
The -client (default) and -server options to designate the type of jvm t= o use are also supported, so you can do=20
groovy -Xmx250m -server myscript.groovy=20
Note that no aliases like -hotspot, -jrockit etc. are accepted - it's ei= ther -client or -server=20
You can freely mix jvm parameters and groovy parameters. E.g. in the fol= lowing -d is param to groovy and -Dmy.prop=3Dfoo / -Xmx200m are params to t= he jvm:=20
groovy -Dmy.prop=3Dfoo -d -Xmx200m myscript.groovy=20
The environment variable JAVA_OPTS can be used to set jvm options you wa=
nt to be in effect every time you run groovy, e.g. (win example)
set = JAVA_OPTS=3D-Xms100m -Xmx200m
You can achieve the same effect by using environment variable JAVA_TOOL_= OPTIONS, see http://java.s= un.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jvmti/jvmti.html#tooloptions and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/pdf/jdk50_ts_guide.pdf<= /a>=20
Note that if you set the same option from the command line that is alrea= dy set in JAVA_OPTS, the one given on the command line overrides the one gi= ven in JAVA_OPTS.=20
By default, the Windows version of the native launcher only understands = Windows style paths if compiled using the Microsoft compiler or the MinGW G= CC. If you compile using Cygwin GCC then by default, Cygwin and Windows sty= le paths are understood. The variable cygwinsupport controls the behaviour.= If you need to exolicitly set whether the Cygwin path code is included in = the build then you can set an option on the command line:=20
scons cygwinsupport=3DFalse=20
allowed values are True and False. Alternatively if you want to set the = value explicitly for every build you can add a line like:=20
cygwinsupport =3D False=20
to the file local.build.options in the same directory as the SConstruct = file.=20
Cygwin path support is a little experimental, but there are no known pro= blem at the moment. If you use it, could you please report back success or = any problems via the Groovy user mailing list.=20
Similarly to java.exe and javaw.exe on a jdk, the build process produces= groovy.exe and groovyw.exe on windows. The difference is the same as w/ ja= va.exe and javaw.exe - groovy.exe requires a console and will launch one if= it is not started in a console, whereas groovyw.exe has no console (and is= usually used to start apps w/ their own gui or that run on the background)= .=20
If you want to run your groovy scripts on windows so that they seem like= any other commands (i.e. if you have myscript.groovy on your PATH, you can= just type myscript), you have to associate groovy script files with the gr= oovy executable. If you use the groovy windows installer it will do this fo= r you. Otherwise, do as follows:=20
Why have a native launcher, why aren't the startup scripts (groovy.bat, = groovy.sh) sufficient? Here are some reasons:=20
Also, the launcher has been written so that the source can be used to ea= sily create a native launcher for any Java program.=20
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/sparc/server:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/spa= rc:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH groovy -server myscript.groovy=20
If you have expertise with any of the following and want to help, please= email me at antti dot karanta (at) hornankuusi dot fi:=20
