Protection and performance.
It's kind of sad that you're going to get the handsome Men's Triumph GV Hiking Boot wet and muddy, but that's what Asolo designed it for. Gore-Tex Extended Comfort gives this boot reliable waterproof breathable capability for fall-to-spring protection. Asoflex lasting makes sure you can walk freely, while still ensuring the stability you need on rough terrain.
Vibram's Agile sole also ensures flexible mobility as well as the traction you need on slippery surfaces. Asolo built the Triumph GV's upper out of soft-yet-strong suede for extra water-resistance. The Spark anatomic footbed includes shock-absorbing comfort, heel-raising support, and extra cushioning. Soft EVA adds more cushy comfort to the midsole.

Have questions about this product?
I have measured my feet at 10.5 inches and 4.2 inches wide (wide) foot width. I have tried several brands of lightweight hike boots but most are to narrow. Does this boot have a larger toe box and if not what light weight boot (under 2 lbs) would you recommend. L.Bates

Curry powder is a key element in this restaurant recipe from Boma.
A roux (roo), a cooked blend of butter and flour, is used to thicken the sauce.
Coconut milk completes the stew liquid. Look for cans of coconut milk in supermarkets. It is not the liquid that is drained from a whole coconut. Coconut milk is made by combining equal parts water and shredded fresh or desiccated coconut meat and simmering until foamy. The mixture is then strained through cheesecloth, squeezing as much of the liquid as possible from the coconut meat. The coconut meat can be combined with water again for a second, diluted batch of coconut milk. (Coconut cream is made in the same manner, but enriches the mix by using 1 part water or milk to 4 parts coconut.)
Yield: 4 servings
1 chicken cut into 8 pieces
Salt and ground pepper to taste
2 1/2 Tblsp curry powder, toasted
3 Tblsp canola oil
6 Tblsp butter
3/4 cup flour
4 cups chicken stock
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup canned, diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup each, diced chunky: potatoes red bell peppers, onions
1/2 minced jalapeno
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup each: honey, chopped cilantro
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, curry powder. Sear chicken in oil in 4-quart pot. Cook until almost done. Remove chicken. Pour out excess oil.
2. Add butter to same pan. Stir in flour. Stir in stock, cayenne pepper, tomatoes. Add honey, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, coconut milk. Return chicken to pot. Bring to boil to finish cooking and thicken liquid.
3. Put chicken in serving bowl. Ladle sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro.

Sweat it out!General
While on vacation last summer in Jamaica, I found myself in a conversation with my business partner's husband and great friend, Jerome Price, who is an exercise physiologist. We were discussing the usefulness of infrared saunas as a finishing touch to a great workout program. After a few more rum cocktails, the idea of a Hot Box Detox session was born. What if isometric postures with infrared heat were used to detoxify the body?
With that in mind, let me introduce you to a new patent-pending service by Planet Beach that is destined to change the lives of millions: Hot Box Detox.
We created this new spa program for people who want to flush toxins from their bodies and burn massive amounts of calories in the process. So whether you want to polish off your gym workout, or you're strictly a spa-goer who wants to enhance your regime, this innovation could be a major component of your wellness program in the future. The results will blow you away!
Hot Box Detox combines the benefits of infrared sauna therapy and isometric body postures in sequence to give you the perfect 30-minute spa detox session. As the infrared heat penetrates your body causing serious sweat, the isometric postures squeeze toxins from your internal organs, and the combination provides a massive calorie burn!
The benefits of infrared sauna therapy are well-documented. These advantages include pain relief, stronger immune system, blood pressure reduction, wound healing, cellular health, skin purification, improved circulation, cellulite reduction, and collagen repair. The advantages of isometric posturing are also well known, and include increased blood flow, fat burning, bone strengthening, increased metabolism, lowered cholesterol, and weight loss. As an added benefit, these combined features make the new Hot Box Detox program an incredibly effective 30-minute stress management program!
Stay tuned for more information on when Hot Box Detox will be available in your area.

Our granddaughter went into A and E with 2 suspected broken fingers. The efficiency cannot be faulted. Within 55 minutes she had seen a doctor, had an X ray and thankfully we were told the fingers were badly bruised but not broken. She was treated sympathetically throughout her time in the hospital. Cannot fault any part of the treatment she received in the 55 mins in A and E. Many thanks.

By Kyle Elliott, LPL Financial Advisor
History is full of examples of parents taking actions they believe will improve the lives of future generations. ln 1780, then President of the United States John Adams wrote to his wife [1], "I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce, and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry, and Porcelaine."
The underpinning for an improved future may be found in the bedrock of an enduring political system, a free country, a strong work ethic, a superb education, or elsewhere. The 2014 US Trust Insights on Wealth and Worth Report[2] found six in ten wealthy Americans believe it is important to leave a financial legacy for the next generation. If you intend to provide heirs with financial bequestsand you want to preserve family harmonyyou need to clearly understand the story your inheritance choices will say to your heirs.
What Is Equal in Context of Family?
Families are complicated, and that's one of the most challenging aspects of planning an inheritance. American families are varied, but their members tend to fall into a few broad categories, according to the 2014 US Trust Insights on Wealth and Worth Report[3]:
- Single person: About one-fifth of wealthy participants had never married or had not remarried after being divorced, separated, or widowed. (A small percentage are cohabiting).
- Traditional marriage: About three-fourths of affluent Americans are in their first marriage and two-thirds have children.
- Blended marriage: the Silent Generation (24 percent) and Baby Boomers (17 percent) are more likely than younger generations to have blended families, meaning they have remarried after being divorced or widowed and may have step-children.
- Multigenerational household: Generation X (11 percent) and Millennials (32 percent) are more likely to live in multi-generational households, meaning they either live with siblings, parents, or grandparents, or have adult children, parents, or grandparents living with them.
In the context of family, what seems like the simplest choice dividing assets equally among all of heirs becomes quite tricky because equality is in the eye of the beholder. A grown son may believe he deserves a bigger slice of financial pie because his family has the most children. A daughter may believe she deserves more because she was the primary caregiver when you were ill. Mix subjective judgments about fairness with the complexities of modern American family structure, and inheritance issues can become quite touchy.
Minimizing Inheritance Disputes
Determining an equitable division of assets is never easy, not even for single parents or couples in traditional families. One child may suffer a disability, have an addiction problem, run the family business, be less successful than siblings, or have made life decisions parents are uncomfortable supporting. If your family circumstances necessitate an uneven distribution of assets, there are a myriad of ways to try and minimize the conflicts[4][5]:
• Act discretely: If you've decided an unequal division of assets is necessary, consider establishing a discreet trust for each child. The advantages are that they can be funded unequally, and each one can have completely different distribution triggers and incentives. In addition, each child will only be apprised of the provisions of his or her trust, unless they share the information. Make sure the assets that will fund each trust are properly titled.
- Establish a shared trust: If you distribute the majority, but not all, of your estate equally among heirs, the remainder (perhaps one-fifth or one-quarter) can fund a shared trust to be used when an heir has an emergency need. The trust should have an objective third-party funds fairly.
- Choose your executor carefully: Some say it's best to follow family hierarchy and make your oldest child executor. Others say it's best to choose a family member who is organized, hardworking, honest, and a good communicator. Still others will suggest you appoint a committee of executors because of the checks and balances a group provides. No matter what you decide, make sure everyone understands your choice.
- Explain your thinking: the difference between family harmony and an ongoing feud may be determined by how clearly you communicate with your family. The Wall Street Journal suggests, "Whenever possible, try to be open about your inheritance plan while you are still alive, so every family member understands it, minimizing the chances for suspicions to arise later. If you don't want to have this difficult conversation while you are alive, you can write a letter or make a video elaborating on the reasons and thought process behind your plan and making it clear that these decisions are yours alone."
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to inheritance. Parents make decisions based on family dynamics and individual needs. The American Association of Individual Investors Journal[6] suggests taking "a multi-faceted approach that combines psychology, good lawyering, a lot of self-awareness, and a good dose of common sense." If you haven't recently, you may want to review your will and estate plans with your financial adviser or attorney[7].

Recently, while coach Jim Donnan and I were playing doubles on the Mikael Pernfors Center Court at UGA's tennis complex, Donnan asked me what Pernfors was doing these days.
I replied: "Right now, he and fellow Swede, Mats Wilander, are conducting a big tennis camp in Vermont.
Incidentally, he and Wilander - the former French, Australian and U.S. Open singles champion, who never went to college - also are co-owners of the highly profitable Global Cap Company. Their biggest customers are fans at various World Soccer Cup matches who buy caps with their country's flags on them.
Coach Donnan then asked me why I rated Pernfors as Georgia's greatest singles player ever.
"Many reasons," I said. "First, he won the NCAA singles back-to-back in 1984 and 1985, and also ranked No. 1 in the nation in doubles with Allen Miller (now head pro at the Athens Country Club) in 1985. He had only two years eligibility, having played two years at the Seminole Junior College in Florida.
"And, his career 71-3 singles record is the best in collegiate tennis history; Also, he holds the record of 42 straight singles wins (the last 10 in the 1984 season and first 32 of the next season).
Pernfors, although missing a lot of action due to injuries, also had an outstanding pro career. He was the Rookie of the Year in 1986, making the finals of the French Open in Paris. He upset the reigning Wimbledon champion Boris Becker (Germany) in the quarterfinals and the French champion Henri Leconte in the semis, but lost to world champion Ivan Lendl (Czechoslovakia) in the finals. And, he helped Sweden advance to the finals of the Davis Cup, losing to Australia.
In 1989, he won the Los Angeles Open, upsetting world champion Andre Agassi, and in 1993, he captured the Canadian Open toppling world champion Jim Courier.
He had amazing agility and speed afoot. His best shot was his forehand, which he hit flat and with top spin. Several times his top-spin lob was voted the best in pro tennis.
Pernfors now makes his home in Vero Beach, Fla., where he is the head pro at the Community Tennis Center. He and his wife, Kristina, have a son, Figge, 4, and a daughter, Bella, 1.
Next May, when Georgia hosts the NCAA tennis championships, Pernfors and all his former teammates will return to Athens for the 25th Anniversary of the Bulldogs' first NCAA team championship in 1985.

JACKI LYDEN, host:
OK. Thanks to the magic of radio, I'm back in the warm studio now, but my guest is not. As a matter of fact, he's in Cedar Falls, Iowa, enjoying an extreme winter sport that will definitely get your nose running - ice climbing.
(Soundbite of ice crunching)
What you're hearing is ice climber Don Briggs getting ready to scale the side of a frozen grain silo. And yes, you heard right, he's in Iowa. Of course, there are no natural ice formations in the Hawkeye state apart from the frozen bits in the driveway. So if you live amongst the cornfields but dream of ice climbing, Don Briggs is your man.
Briggs is a climbing instructor at the University of Northern Iowa, and he's been creating manmade ice walls on the side of silos for a decade. And about now, he should be midway up. Hello, Don Briggs, you crazy man.
Mr. DON BRIGGS (Climbing Instructor, University of Northern Iowa): Hi, Jackie.
LYDEN: How far up are you?
Mr. BRIGGS: I'm about 30 or 40 feet up right now.
LYDEN: Are you worried about falling?
Mr. BRIGGS: No, I'm actually attached to a rope that goes up to the top of the climb - up to the top of the silo - and then back down to a belayer who's taking the rope up as I ascend.
LYDEN: What's the view like up there, Don?
Mr. BRIGGS: Well, the view is really nice. I can see all the way to our campus, which is about six miles away. As I look the other way, I can see my own home, which - I live about a mile from the silo here.
LYDEN: How do you create an ice wall on the side of a silo?
Mr. BRIGGS: Well, actually what we do is we run a garden hose - just a regular garden hose up the silo and put a spray nozzle in the end of it - it's a shower head actually. And then what we do is we turn the water on and keep the water flowing and going. It doesn't freeze up until it hits the silo. And then when it hits the side of the silo, those steel bands that go around the concrete keep the ice on, and it forms up and it gets about four feet thick. And that's plenty of ice to work with and get yourself up.
LYDEN: This is what I love about the Midwest. People are off the rails in these completely low-key ways. And give me a description of the curtain of ice coming over the silo. Is it two feet thick, four feet thick?
Mr. BRIGGS: It's - well, at the top right now, it's about, oh, maybe three feet thick. And it's just a clustery - it looks like a great, big, huge pillow.
LYDEN: You mentioned you had climbed other ice formations in northern Wisconsin. How does climbing the side of a silo compare to, say, cliffs?
Mr. BRIGGS: This - silo ice climbing is a lot more difficult than any other ice I've been on. And the reason why is because this is straight up.
LYDEN: Right.
Mr. BRIGGS: Whereas all the other ice that we climb is what we call waterfall ice. It has a little bit of cascading effect to it and that - there you go - and that makes it a little bit easier to climb that type of ice.
LYDEN: I'm sure Everest is easy after you've done the silos of Iowa, no doubt. Do you ever climb at night?
Mr. BRIGGS: Yes. In fact, we've got a whole group of people coming out today. We're going to climb until midnight. We're going to turn some lights on. And this thing really illuminates the sky. It's really beautiful at night. And then find a hot tub somewhere and enjoy that. Well, I'm at the top here.
LYDEN: Fabulous. Congratulations. Well, Don Briggs, it has been an absolute pleasure talking to you. And I wish you many, many more successful climbs.
Mr. BRIGGS: Well, thank you very much. You're welcome to come out and climb anytime and join us.
LYDEN: I would very much like to do that. Don Briggs is an instructor at the University of Northern Iowa. You can see pictures of some of these frozen silos and Don Briggs making his way up them on our Web site. That's at npr.org.

The five games I'm playing right now!
I get asked so much what I like to play, so I decided that I would start writing an article once a month to show what I'm playing. For the most part these are game I enjoy or got roped into playing with friends, regardless here is what I'm playing right now in no particular order.
War Thunder
War thunder is a great game for the airplane fanatic and for people that time constraints to their gaming you can jump in for a quick battle or two. You can dedicate as much or as little time as you want to.
This game features arcade air combat that can played without a joystick, mouse and keyboard work fine. War thunder lets you fly all the great planes from theWW1 to WW2 era, these planes can be upgraded with new parts along with training of your crews for better overall aircraft.
The best thing about War Thunder is the ability to jump very quick battles to jump into anytime day or night.
Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun Return is a turn based RPG and strategy game that is based on the old classic Shadowrun. This game has an amazing storyline and is just a great game to play.
As you are investigating a murder of a friend you meet a lot of colorful characters as you explore the world of Shadowrun and the will ultimately to solve who murdered your friend.
Shadowrun mixes the best of the fantasy genre with that of a sci-fi to blend together a story and world like no other.
Cube world is like Legend of Zelda was melded with Minecraft. This fantasy based game is still rough around the edges still being in Alpha but is and amazing world to explore with limitless 100% random terrains.
Cube has and in-depth crafting system along with skill trees to make your characters stronger as you level up.
Rogue Legacy
Rogue Legacy is an Indie old school side scrolling. Rogue Legacy has 8 classes to pick from and skill trees for each to make you character better and you play.
You will die a lot in this game, but it give you a chance to think thing out for the next time. If you enjoy side scrollers this is a good one.
Nascar the Game 2013
If you a gearhead, motor head, or just like racing here's the latest stock-car racing game. Its arcade based and it's not perfect, but a lot of fun. I recently reviewed Nascar the Game 2013 and you can find my review HERE.
Nascar the Game 2013 feature all the drivers and tracks from the 2012 season, so you will be able to compete for the championship with your favorite driver, or online with your friends.
So that what I'm playing now. I try out way too many games but these are the ones that have stuck with me the last couple weeks. I would love to hear what you the viewers are playing.
So today I ask you, what games are you playing?

Also the FFXIV:ARR open beta starts on the 16th, so I'm still messing around with the character creator for that…
I played Shin Mega Tensei Online for one of my first reviews I did online, that was a while for another site. Which sadly if I remember right the site folded and I never got paid for it, lol.
When I lived in Japan people went crazy for the monster hunter series.
Hi. I stopped playing games because I loved
the real down-and-out FPS battles so much that
days would go by, and I didn't get much done.
I LOVE the Halo-themed realms.
If I could get Castle Wolfenstein to play, I'd probably play that just for grins.
Years ago. I used to "review" games on GEnie, which stood for the General Electric national information exchange. I was on the staff of a PC news magazine, and I often reviewed games on there. I reviewed Castle Wolfeinstein.
A big help in reviewing Castle Wolfenstein — the PD version with the Nazis — was that my girlfriend's son Kip was living with us, and I said to him, "Kip. You've GOT to play this new game I downloaded." Kip was a bit hesitant, but he was a fun kid (young adult) and very, VERY witty and funny), and he played the entire game through in an evening! He made the review process much easier. I actually love PC games…that's the trouble.
I am not THAT much of a Gamehead, though, so what's a FANTASTIC space/Halo themed FPS shooter that has really good sci-fi themes in it? I've been taking a look at that game — the really nice one with the futuristic cities with the transportation system that you hitch rides on…I think I'd like that. But other than that one (I hesitate to get into that style of game, as much as I loved Halo) does anyone have anything really nice they could recommend?
Mark thanks for commenting. GEnie that was a few years ago.
Castle Wolfenstein was one of my favorite game back then, I just got the iPhone version, brought back some memories and a lot of laughs.
As far as a FPS Sci-Fi based the best that I can think of are similar to Halo are Planetside 2 or FireFall both are free to play games so they don't require anything but time to download to get started.
Hopefully that helps out.

Public funding in the Italian transport sector. A roadmap for policy-makers
Public money flowing in or out of the transport sector is one of the most powerful drivers of its evolution. The paper aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the revenue and expenditure of the Italian State and the local administrations for the Italian transport system. Based on the available resources, the paper quantifies the subsidies and the contracts to support investments, network maintenance and service delivery, as well as the value of the taxes generated. The analysis is completed by an historical background. The results indicate that road transport generates more in taxes than it receives in the form of free public roads (a net of over thirty-two billion euros per year). In contrast, the bus and rail systems receive subsidies valued at approximately thirteen billion euros per year, inclusive of new infrastructure. The other modes of transport benefit from relatively lower resources. The paper is completed by a discussion on the tools available for a more informed socio-economic assessment of this expenditure, by possible alternative scenarios of public expenditure and their effects on patronage and with some policy indications.

Charles Simic was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, immigrated with his family to Chicago in 1954, and was educated at New York University. Although his native language was Serbian, he began writing in English. Some of his work reflects the years he served in the U.S. Army (1961--63). He has been awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, a Guggenheim Foundation grant, and a National Endowment for the Arts award. "My poetry always had surrealistic tendencies, which were discouraged a great deal in the '50's," the poet said, but such tendencies were applauded in the 1970s and his reputation consequently flourished. His poems are about obsessive fears and often depict a world that resembles the animism of primitive thought. His work has affinities with that of Mark Strand and has in its turn produced several imitators. Simic was appointed the fifteenth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 2007
Mark Strand was born on April 11, 1934 in Summerside on Prince Edward Island in Canada. Since his father's job resulted in many transfers, he spent his childhood in Cleveland, Halifax, Montreal, New York and Philadelphia and his teenage years in Colombia, Mexico and Peru. He received a bachelor's degree at Antioch College in Ohio in 1957, a bachelor of fine arts in painting from Yale University School of Art and Architecture in 1959, and a master of fine arts from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1962. He studied 19th-century Italian poetry in Florence on a Fulbright Grant from 1960-1961. His first poetry collection, Sleeping with One Eye Open, was published in 1964. His other works included Reasons for Moving, Darker, The Story of Our Lives, The Late Hour, A Continuous Life, Dark Harbor, and Collected Poems: Mark Strand. In 1990, he was named the fourth Poet Laureate of the United States. He received the Bollingen Prize for Poetry in 1993 and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1999 for Blizzard of One. In 1980, he felt that he had reached an impasse and stopped writing poetry for several years. During that time, he wrote several children's books including The Planet of Lost Things and Mr. and Mrs. Baby. He also wrote books on the painters EdwardHopper and William Bailey, and a collection of critical essays entitled The Art of the Real. He died of liposarcoma on November 29, 2014 at the age of 80.

VIENNA, Oct 2 (Reuters) Austrian police are investigating the motive of the Bosnian who tried to enter the US embassy in Vienna carrying an explosives-filled rucksack, an official said today.
Public security director Erik Buxbaum told journalists at a news conference the man gave police the impression of being ''confused'' and had been in psychiatric care in the past.
''We can't say anything at the moment about a possible motive for his action,'' Buxbaum said. ''To talk about an Islamist background would be premature. We can neither confirm that nor rule it out.'' The man, identified by Austrian newspapers as Arsim C., ran away from the embassy yesterday after his rucksack triggered metal detectors at the entrance. He dropped the bag in the next street and was arrested soon after.
Bomb squad specialists found two hand grenades and other explosive material in the rucksack, as well as nails and screws -- often used by suicide bombers in the Middle East to kill or wound as many people as possible.
Buxbaum said police found no fuse for the explosives and was investigating whether they could have blown up at all.
A search of the man's home had produced about half a kilogram (1.1 lb) of plastic explosives of a variety often used in the former Yugoslavia, Buxbaum said.
The man's backpack contained a religious book typically read by Bosnian Muslims during the Ramadan fasting month.
The Bosnian, who is living in Tulln near Vienna, told police that a countryman living in the same town had given him the backpack and told him to take it to the US embassy.
The second man, identified as Mehmad D, was arrested on Monday night. He denied any links to the rucksack incident, Buxbaum said.
No explosives, weapons or other suspect material were found in his home.
It was the second such scare in Austria within weeks.
Last month, police arrested three people on suspicion of links to al Qaeda and posting an Islamist video on the Internet in which they threatened Germany and Austria. One of three was later released without charge.
Buxbaum said there was no evidence the three were linked to the Bosnian.

DC & Marvel......Where's the WAR?!
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
Ok... first off, let me just start by saying I am both a Marvel & DC man... I have no allegiance to either. If asked what hero would be my personal favourite, I would have to say Superman... however, the fact is I've always embraced both universes. The comics of both Stan Lee, Bob Kane, Jack Kirby, Joe Shuster, Jim Lee & the many editors & aritists who have brought our Heroes back time & time again have inspired me.
But... here's the problem. There are many people in today's society who are subconciously, in my eyes, climatised to the world of "cool". When kids today are presented with something new, whatever the genre, it has to connect with the mainstream to maintain revenue & profit... to open to a wide audience, it has to be "not geeky". With comic book movies... that's not easy. In particular, with some of the more extravigant characters... such as the fantastic four, captain marvel... &.... Green Lantern!
Now on a site such as this, you are always going to have opposing sides of both DC & Marvel... but that's not really the issue. Many people will simply say that the Marvel movies of late have simply been of a higher quality. Thor was indeed a good movie, as was Captain America. Both stuck closely to the source material, while being incredibly accessible. Ironman was that rare example of of a new hero being introduced to cinema audiences with everything in it's favour... it had a degree of realism to it, a cool lead... & the backing of a major studio.
Now let's look at Green Lantern... it had the backing, the cool lead... however... it was very fantasy driven, incredibly far fetched & let's be honest... quite easy to perceive as geeky. A man who can make racing cars constructs from his magic ring?! Oh.... that's sooooo not down with the kids!
Here's the thing though... it stuck to it's source material like glue... & if you are a fan of the comics, I beieve this movie was a total success. It was a complete comic book experience & all the better for it. It was never going to be an easy sell, infact, I applaud Martin Campbell for being so true to Green Lantern.
I hold this film in the same regard as Ironman, Captain America & Thor. Of course, to a Marvel hardcore purist, the cinema battle for supremacy is a wonderful place right now. But purists, on both sides are missing out on so much. I didn't go to the cinema to watch GL simply because I was put off by the reviews... I got sucked into believing both hype & negativity in the press before making my own mind up... something most people are guilty of in today's "idealistic, cool driven world".
The film pleasantly suprised me... the extended cut that is... it had action, it had romance, it had cosmic space opera... but more importantly, just like most recent CBM's, it had heart.
At the end of the day, it's all purely subjective of course... but for me, it's about embracing the character, no matter how silly or far fetched in the "cool kids" eyes.
Let's stop trying to impress the ingang... & just enjoy these films when we own them on DVD. Because, at the end of the day, when we own it, who the hell cares what the fanboys think or the general public?!!
Just enjoy all of it... DC & Marvel.

The lunch special of soup and sandwich for $5.99 was excellent. I had the cactus chili, that was phenomenal, and the corned beef on sun dried tomato bread that completely satisfied my taste buds.

The lunch special of soup and sandwich for $5.99 was excellent. I had the cactus chili, that was phenomenal, and the corned beef on sun dried tomato bread that completely satisfied my taste buds.
I love deli style food and this place doesn't disappoint. They have the basics and also some interesting new add on's over the past year. Cactus chilli being one , very good. Sun dried tomato bread, very good. Soup salad sandwich place worth a try.
I've never had anything I didn't like! I'm so glad that they moved to main Street and now have coffee and more items. It's a great place and my husband and I like to sneek there for coffee dates.
The salads are loaded with lots of meat, cheese, etc. You will have a very nutritious lunch or supper and be very satisfied.
My husband and I would stop on our walk uptown on Saturday mornings on the way to the farmer's market. It's a friendly spot.
Small, very clean with modern décor perhaps even preppy, you go to a service counter and order your food, counter staff was pleasant. Had "soup and a sandwich" for lunch. For those of you old enough to remember "way back when", the soup was very,very...More
Great sandwiches, great soups! Can't go wrong here! Quality ingredients and great staff make an awesome place! We have enjoyed everything we have tried!
We enjoyed several of their homemade soups while there in April and May. When eating with others, we saw their sandwiches - they are HUGE and with the option of specialty breads. Our friends seemed to really enjoy their sandwiches. The staff is very pleasant...More
This establishment recently upgraded itself to a new building on main street. While the upgrades to credit cards and seating menu were appreciated, what was NOT appreciated was the DRASTIC change in menu options. However, they listened to their customers and have recently started to...More
This place use to be fantastic before new owners took over and changed the menu. I grew up in Caro and loved the place until I went back and the menu had changed and is not that great now.

Services - OpenOffice: Start as a service
Download File
This script is useful if you need to run a dedicated OpenOffice service on a system. I had a process that generated PDF files from an OpenOffice template document, which required the OpenOffice service to be running on the system at all times. So I setup this script and created a cronjob for it, which ran every morning to make sure the service was always up and functioning properly. Incidently, this script was setup to run in a cygwin environment.
|Script snippet that checks to see if service is running:
CHECK=`/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/netstat -anpo tcp | grep 127.0.0.1:8100`;
Here we are using netstat to see if the process is running. This command can be broken down as follows: -anpo tcp: This tells netstat to display the state of all sockets [a], show network addresses as numbers [n], show only connections for the protocol specified, tcp in this case [p] and display the owning process ID [o]. grep 127.0.0.1:8100: This piece grabs any process running on port 8100, the port the OpenOffice service runs on, and assigns it to the CHECK variable.
|Start-up command for OpenOffice service in script:
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/OpenOffice.org\ 3/program/soffice -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"
This line starts the service. It starts it on port 8100, which is the standard port for OpenOffice.

CLOMID first time... questions, questions, questions!!!(106 Posts)
hello... can anyone shed any light? i have pco and have been ttc for 5 years. i am in my first cycle of clomid (day 14) and had a scan today. They said i have 3 big folicles on one ov and one big one on the other....so triplets would be likely! i dont understand fully tho....i thought i ovulated 2 days ago (day 12)...clear, stretchy stuff in pants and pain in ov but the scan showed the folicles so i couldnt have ovulated yet, which is really disappointing as my hubby is away now so no more getting busy! we got busy from day 11, 12 and 13 but am now thinking i may not ovulate as today is 9 days after taking clomid....oh how confusing...i'm giving myself a head ache....oh no...thats clomid!!! anyone have a suggestions for me?! ps have had an ache on the left ov since day 12.....
ahh sorry babymadness,just keep positive and look forward to trying the next round.....i know thats hard i should take my own advise really ,ive still got over a week till i can test and its driving me mad!!!all i can think is baby baby baby!!!
hi numpty id test just to be sure at least u know either way then. xxx
its day 28 of my cicle this wednesday coming so i have to wait and see what happens ,ive just got a feeling inside me that im not pregnant this time,ive had lowerback pain so im probably gonna come on,if i do at least i would have had a normal cicle coz usually i wait 3months a time.where is anyone else on their cicle?
Hi Ladies
I am now on my 2nd cycle of Clomid after being diagnosed with Insulin Resistance duly causing mild symptoms of PCOS. Luckily i have a brilliant specialist who has been fantastic.
Follicle scans are really important in order for you to understand what is up in your ovaries and how your body is controlling or rather how the clomid is controlling your body.
You will get head aches because Clomid effectively lies to the pituary gland in your brain telling your brain that you do not have enough eggs, which in turn stimulates the gland to produce a lot of estrogen and therefore Clomid assists in producing eggs.
Now in my first cycle, I was crazy with Clomid because it does do that but you just have to cope and think of the end result.
On day 14 I went for my follicle scan and Doctor was very impressed on how my body had accepted the Clomid, I had 2 19mm follicles in my right ovary, we could not see the right ovary properly so could not tell what had happened.
Well we did the deed for 4 days in a row to fertilise and then the long purgatory wait started eventually resulting in an anxiety attack and straight off to the Doctor who did another scan and saw that everything looked FAB. Both ovaries had ovulated so we were not too sure how many eggs were in the follopian tubes.
I ovulated @ 39.9 after only ovulating @ 27.7 so everything is getting better, unfortunately on Thursday morning i woke up in a pool of blood, went for more blood work ups and no pregnancy(we suspected miscarriage) but it was my menses that had started.
My husband did his spermiogram today to cancel him out as a problem.
Anyway, i also had a Mirena in for 5 years and i firmly believe that was where the problem started.
IF you have any thoughts or ideas, please share them with me as I am here to listen, advise, as well as receive advice
Hello Forgot to mention one more thing:
After doing my research on Clomid - One bad thing about(I know there are more) but my relevant one now:
Clomid creates hostility in the cervical mucous towards sperm.
hi cherrybee , how long have you been ttc?
im on day 27 of my cicle its my first cicle ive taken clomid, so just waitng to see if i come on or not .the waiting is driving me mad!!!
about the whole cervical mucous thing i dont know about u but mine seemed to disappear when we were suppost to be trying ,which made doing the deed abit harder!!!(sorry i know thats a lovely subject)
hey ladies
i've been desperately ttc for nearly 2 years, i ovulate ok, have cycles between 28-33 days, had a laproscopy and dye test - fallopian tubes are fine and clear, husbands sperm is good too. was told it was unexplained infertility. about 5 months ago i took 50mg CLOMID for 2 cycles - didnt get pregnant, just got depressed. now my specialist has told me to take it again for 4 cycles this time and i'm also due to have artificial insemination (IUI) in a couple of months. became depressed on clomid and cried for no reason throughout the night so im not looking forward to those side affects but after hearing ur stories i'm hopefull again for my turn to come. wish u all the best xx
Hello Lovings
I had my Mirena IUD removed on the 12th October last year and ever since then have been trying.
Also with no success because i did not realise at that point we had a problem because the OBGYN said nothing.
You see my womb lining was beautiful and thick and healthy when i did my tracking a week and a half ago, both ovaries were blooming so we are still a bit puzzled as to why i started my menses as we followed the specialist advice to the T.
Waiting on the spermiogram results to see whats up with the DH.
The Clomid is a bit hectic, Im now on Day 6 of my second cycle of Clomid and I am feeling more in control but I also got the Doctor to prescribe me some mild HAPPY PILLS. They help a stack to handle the crap.
What problems re fertility do you have, is there any prognosis as yet or did your dr want you on Clomid to make everything go quicker
Hi Ladies
Just to touch up, DH spremiogram results and I married a stud so Doctor reckons my eggs were not fertilised because it still has to get used to ovulating and kinda forgotten what to do with Sperm LOL
hiya guys tested thismorning and got a BIG FAT NEGAGTIVE so depressing havent come on either so dont know wat the clomid has done for me who knows?
Dear girls
I have just had a scan due to coming off the pill 13 months ago and having no periods.it appears it is PCOS. I have got to go back to see the Dr in a couple of weeks. I have had all blood work done and they were all fine it seems, so they have suggested clomid. When i go back in a couple of weeks i am sure they will ask me my decision on clomid. I don't know what to do really. I am all new to this and feel abit lost with the process and how to take clomid and which days to try in the month as i currently have no cycle. Sure these will be Q's for the Dr, but it was good to read all your comments, Good luck to you all. Any help would be well recieved!!
I conceived my daughter on clomid 2 years ago & have recently been for further tests to try for our 2nd child.
The tests have come back that I am not o'ing again so i have been issued more clomid.
I took clomid for 5 days last time & had to go for a bllod test to see if my hormone level had picked up only to discover that i was infact pregnant!!!
I had a really good pregnancy with no complications.
good luck to you all who are trying x
Hi guys, I am on first moth of cliomid CD 29. I think and stress THINK i Ov on day 16 but cant b sure so wont be due until CD 33 driving me nuts.
I have been trying for 4 and half years and there is no probs with me or DH infact i too married a stud so not sure why isnt happening.
Babytink, do you mean you are Now PG if so congrats thats brill for you.
I realy hope this works for me this month
Hi Ray81..
On Clomid again (2nd pill today 14.10.08) so hopefully fingers crossed it may work for the 2nd time...
I'll keep everything crossed for you & all x
Hi, I have just taken my first course of Clomid, because I have PCOS, which I only found out about once I had the mirena removed, I already have a 4 year old daughter, and cannot believe I am having so much trouble!! But was reassuring to hear Cherrybee say she thought it was the Mirena - so do I.
Has anyone been feeling ill?? My last day of taking Clomid was last friday, and I had to go home early from work yesterday and felt so ill, and spent the night throwing up!! I am still not dressed yet today, and been laying on the sofa so tired!! Is this normal??
hi i had twins 2 years ago on clomid. they are 20 months old now. i want to try again this year. am just wondering if any one can help me will i get clomid again on the nhs? i stay in perth in scotland
hello all, well here i go again, i concieved on my second round of clomid last year, (i ovulated first time but just didnt fall pregnant), but unfortunatly we lost our little boy at 4 months in november so after a little holiday we are just about to try again.
I have pcos, and am currently on my last 2 days of northisterone (to get aunt flow started) and then on to clomid.
This time round we are not telling people we are starting treatment again, and won't tell people when im pregnant (hopefuly) untill im past four months, and so i would love to help people out and chat to people going through the same thing.
anyway i will keep an eye on the threads and try and help out as much as i can.
Good luck to all.
I started clomid in Jan, no luck, and did another go early this month. AF due tomorrow but I don't think it worked again this month.
My specialist is so rubbish - he doesn't tell me anything! not even about side effects, nor the results of my various tests . So most of my medical advice I get anecdotally on here! and I follow these types of threads closely to help me understand my medication.
I wasn't ovulating at all, hadn't for a couple of years (no AF, which was very nice actually), due to high levels of prolactin which were caused by SSRI antidepressants.
Our chances of conception are not great, as my partner had a vasectomy about 8 years ago and got it reversed about a year ago, and his sperm counts aren't great. But we'll see.
on my 2nd month of clomid, been trying for 6 years, my sister suggested this site as she went through the same took 5 years until she had her little girl so there is a little hope that it will happen
been lucky that have had no side effects but i am wondering if clomid is working? had to have key hole surgery to remove cyst of an overie and they checked my tubes which are clear. consultant said if nothing happens after 3 months he will increase dosage of clomid possiably.
I have just finished my 3rd month of clomid, due to anovulation because of high prolactin levels (but my DH has problems with his little guys, so I am expecting it to take a while)
I see that lots of you are having scans to see if follicles are happening. My specialist has never mentioned scans to me, and I am wondering if I should bother him to have one done? Why do you go have them - just for interest, or is there a medical need for it?
hi shm this thread seems to be quite inactive why don't you try www.mumsnet.com/talk?topicd=1366&threadid=6858008&o=1233065887646#14107710 - its called ttc - clomid - conception there are a few of us on there and you get loads of useful information and support.
By the way my specialist says there is no need to be getting internal scans think this differs from place to place, it is to see if you have enlarged follicles that turn into eggs (ovulation) but even with these scans there is no guarantee that you will go on to ovulate. hopefully see you on the other thread xx
Thanks! i will go there.
My husband and i tried to conceive naturally for 2 1/2 years without success so were advised to try clomid after founding out i had PCOS. Was on it for 6 cycles but it didn't work.
We then went to harley street fertility centre and had 3 lots of IUI but again it failed.
So we decided to try IVF and it worked! We now have a 20 week old baby , our little miracle!
I found out that the surface of my eggs were very thin allowing them to be over fertilised which led to failed pregnancies.
so we had the eggs fertilised one by one with the IVF.
So keep trying there are so many options out there !
Hi All Was wondering if any of u ladies had concieved yet as its been a while since you last wrote. Im in the same boat ttc 4 over 3 yrs on 1st round of clomid, ov on 50mg ust waitin to see if i come on Dc thought i had pcos but now decided i havent!?! Soooo wishing my journey wil be a sucessfull one soon ! best of luck girlies xx
hi, ive had my 1st course of chlomid, i had my 21 day blood test last week and the nurse said it was really high...over 200, im a day late on my period but got a negative preg test this morning, im very confused nobody seems to be telling me anything. i have pcos that only developed after i had mirena coil removed, is there a link ? ps im new so if this is to long sorry
I was put on Clomid 50 mgc in Jan of this year. So far nothing has happened yet.
However over the last 2 motnhs I have rapidly gain weight with no explantion (have not go up in dress size), also I have swollen feet and ankles and a swollen belly.
Went to the hospital yesterday after phoning them the day before to explain to them what was going on and they said they wanted me for a scan tommorrow first thing. Went for the scan it did not show than anyting appeared to be wrong my right folicle was mature. Nurse suggested I go to the Docotor so have made appointment to see my Doc/
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and what I can to do get rid of it.

Logo Design Project

Hundreds of thousands protest over French job law
Hundreds of thousands of French transport workers, teachers and other employees have staged a one-day national strike or marched through the streets to try to force the government to abandon a new youth job law.
The Eiffel Tower was closed to visitors until the evening, commuters faced delays on trains and Paris underground rail services and airports were hit by stoppages in protest against Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's CPE First Job Contract.
Mr Villepin, 52, stood firm over the plan but the strong turnout increased pressure on him to amend or withdraw the measure and calls for his resignation are growing.
"We're demanding the complete withdrawal of the CPE. You can't treat people like slaves. Giving all the power to the bosses is going too far," said Gregoire de Oliviera, a 21-year-old student in Paris.
Mr Villepin hopes the CPE will reduce youth unemployment from almost 23 per cent, but union and student leaders say it will create a generation of "throwaway workers" because it makes it easier to dismiss employees under 26 in a trial two-year period.
Tens of thousands of people rallied in Paris and organisers said 250,000 people took to the streets in Marseille, where banners read "We will not give up" and protesters daubed "Anti-CPE" on their faces.
In Grenoble, in the east, up to 60,000 people protested and 40,000 people protested in Pau in the south-west, unions said.
There were reports of isolated skirmishes but not on the same scale as violence that marred protests last week.
Mr Villepin, a potential candidate in next year's presidential election, faces his biggest challenge since becoming prime minister last May.
Business leaders fear France's image will be damaged if protests continue and that investment and tourism could suffer, particularly because the crisis has erupted so soon after rioting by angry youths in French city suburbs late last year.
Unions refused to meet Mr Villepin for talks on Wednesday but he renewed the invitation, telling Parliament he was ready to compromise on two points - the length of the trial period and the terms for giving notice.
"Useful time remains, let's use it for dialogue. But there is one thing that I will not accept ... that is to remain with my arms folded given youth unemployment about which you have never spoken before," he told jeering opposition deputies.
Mr Villepin, a former foreign minister, also faces pressure from inside the ruling conservative Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) headed by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, a likely rival for the 2007 presidential race.
The UMP parliamentary group on Tuesday backed Sarkozy's proposal that the government not rush to enforce the law and so leave the door open for further negotiations.
President Jacques Chirac, who has backed Mr Villepin during the crisis, cancelled a trip to northern France planned for Thursday because of the situation, sources close to the president said.
Opinion polls show almost two-thirds of French people oppose the CPE. Even so, commuters were frustrated by the strike which caused delays on many rail lines.

When a team has a losing season with a multitude of things going astray, its up to the front office to make some changes to their roster the following season. The Los Angeles Lakers are no different in that department, and this summer, Jim Buss and company are really going to have to think straight to fix this mess. One player who the Lakers should be all in for is current Indiana Pacers combo guard Lance Stephenson.
Kobe Bryant is going to need to be hidden on defense for every single game for the rest of his NBA career, so it is necessary to have a big point guard who can defend multiple positions — the 23-year old Stephenson fits the bill. You can't put Steve Nash and Bryant on the court at the same time and expect to defend the perimeter — it's a disaster waiting to happen.
Stephenson, a great defender, along with a defensive-minded small forward (Trevor Ariza anyone?) can support the "Black Mamba" and allow him to defend the weakest offensive perimeter player on a nightly basis. It eliminates him from having to guard the likes of Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Chris Paul ever again — something he is not capable of doing anymore.
It is the only chance the purple and gold has to compete during the rest of Bryant's career. Stephenson can really handle the basketball, so even though he isn't the de-facto PG of the Pacers, he is certainly capable of running a team. Not only that, Stephenson can shoot the 3-ball on catch-and-shoot opportunities, which is a must when playing with a player like Kobe who lives on driving and kicking to shooters.
The team can then bring someone like Nash or Jordan Farmar off the bench as a backup PG when Bryant is off the court.
The third year pro out of Cincinnati is a restricted free agent, so Indiana can match any offer; however, they will risk going into the luxury tax if they do, and that is not something that the franchise is interested in. There are some character issues and baggage associated with Stephenson in the past, but it looks like he has turned a corner.
The Lakers should be one of the first teams making a call to him and his agent Alberto Ebanks this summer. If they don't, they aren't thinking straight.

Young Thug might be Drake's tour guest in Europe. Drake 's European "Boy Meets World" tour may have just taken a leap forward on the lit scale. Yesterday on
Instagram, Atlanta trap star Young Thug hinted that he'd be an opening act for Drizzy in Europe. Thugger posted a picture of himself and Drizzy with the caption "European tour ft …." No word yet from Papi.
The timing of the IG post makes sense. Drake's European tour begins in Amsterdam merely weeks away on. January 21. Whatever seems casual is usually a carefully orchestrated information leak from Aubrey's promo
If this tour choice comes to fruition, it's a controversial move for Drake. Not so long ago Young Thug had a much publicized beef with Drizzy's mentor Lil Wayne .
Check out Young Thug's IG post below, and let us know what you think. Are we trippin' or is this really happening?

A brilliantly original and richly illuminating exploration of entanglement, the seemingly telepathic communication between two separated particles - one of the fundamental concepts of quantum physics. In 1935, in what would become the most cited of all of his papers, Albert Einstein showed that quantum mechanics predicted such a correlation, which he dubbed "spooky action at a distance."In that same year, Erwin Schrödinger christened this spooky correlation "entanglement." Yet its existence wasn't firmly established until 1964, in a groundbreaking paper by the Irish physicist John Bell. What happened during those years and what has happened since to refine the understanding of this phenomenon is the fascinating story told here. We move from a coffee shop in Zurich, where Einstein and Max von Laue discuss the madness of quantum theory, to a bar in Brazil, as David Bohm and Richard Feynman chat over cervejas. We travel to the campuses of American universities - from J. Robert Oppenheimer's Berkeley to the Princeton of Einstein and Bohm to Bell's Stanford sabbatical - and we visit centers of European physics: Copenhagen, home to Bohr's famous institute, and Munich, where Werner Heisenberg and Wolfgang Pauli picnic on cheese and heady discussions of electron orbits.Drawing on the papers, letters, and memoirs of the 20th century's greatest physicists, Louisa Gilder both humanizes and dramatizes the story by employing their own words in imagined face-to-face dialogues. Here are Bohr and Einstein clashing, and Heisenberg and Pauli deciding which mysteries to pursue. We see Schrödinger and Louis de Broglie pave the way for Bell, whose work here is given a long-overdue revisiting. And with his characteristic matter-of-fact eloquence, Richard Feynman challenges his contemporaries to make something of this entanglement.In this stunning debut, Gilder has found a wholly original way of bringing to life a tale of physics in progress.More
"An admirable, unexpected audio book, historically sound and seamlessly constructed, that transports those of us who do not understand quantum mechanics into the lives and thoughts of those who did." (George Dyson, author of Darwin Among the Machines)

If you've been a reader for a while, then you know that I was a teacher for a long time, had a kid, went part-time, had another kid, took a year off, went back to work, then left altogether. It's been a bit of a whirlwind job-wise the past couple of years trying to figure out whether I want to be a working mom or a stay-at-home mom (SAHM).
Though, I do think a big reason why I had such a successful year of running in 2016 was because of just that, not working. There's definitely something to be said about work stress impeding on running performance, at least for me.
BUT, another reason I think I did so well racing was because running became the only thing I worked for/towards. Besides taking care of my kids and home (two huge things), my only other big commitment was staying on track with my training schedule. I really considered it like my job. When Thursday said 11 miles at tempo pace, that's what I did because that's what I was supposed to do. So when that 4:00 a.m. alarm went off, I got up and got it done.
I felt like since I wasn't working, running/training was something I could get fulfillment from–something that could make me feel a sense of accomplishment. This was lacking in my life not teaching. Not to say that I don't get fulfillment as a SAHM, but having worked my entire life, being employed was a part of who I was.
So running became my job. And since I really do love working, this wasn't such a bad thing. I clocked in and out on my Garmin, and each week I'd collect my mileage paycheck. My bonus? Finish lines (and PRs).
It hasn't been a bad gig, but I'm still at a crossroads on what I really want to do. I love teaching and miss it dearly, but I've also enjoyed being at home with my kids and making training a big part of my daily life.
I always admire those who can do it all, work full-time and train full-time and be parents full-time. I just know for me, one of those is going to eventually suffer and when it comes down to it, it will most definitely be my training.
With big goals like trying to Boston Qualify, a part of me wants to sign another contract with Hanson's Marathon Method.
Yet, the classroom keeps calling….
–How do you handle working, parenting, and training?
–Have you ever been at a crossroads with your career or have you always loved your job (or would you rather work for Garmin 😉 )?
