When lawmakers of both parties raised their glasses in toast of President Barack Obama at a Capitol Hill luncheon Monday, House Speaker John Boehner remarked that the room, with its poor acoustics, had been the House chamber many decades earlier -- "at a time when our leaders weren't hearing each other all that well to begin with."
"But here, it's a century-and-a-half and many architectural improvements later, and we gather in the old hall to better hear one another and to renew the appeal to better angels," Boehner said. "We do so amid the rituals and symbols of unity, none more important than our flag," he continued, giving Obama and Vice President Joe Biden the flags which had earlier in the day flown over the Capitol.
His presentation as the nation's top lawmaker held more significance than a convergence of the two government branches: it was about two parties which waged bitter campaigns for federal office coming together to codify the administration.
But Republicans largely laid low on Monday, as Obama's second term opened with ceremony on the National Mall and an address in which he laid out the basics of an agenda. His biographer, David Maraniss, described the speech as one where "I could feel his heart beating."
"What he did is he took the Founding Fathers' riffs and language, Martin Luther King's language, so of King, and melded it into his own and put it into a sort of statement of action -- what he wants to do in the next four years," Maraniss said on CNN.
Obama identified specific objectives, saying, "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law" and that his administration "will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations."
The late Monday banner of the Drudge Report said it all for conservatives: "1,461 More Days."
The conservative group Americans for Prosperity described Obama's address as "a harshly ideological, aggressively partisan speech more appropriate for the campaign trail than for the solemn occasion of his inaugural ceremony. His address read like a liberal laundry list with global warming at the top. Americans have rejected environmental extremism in the past and they will again."
There were no Republican former presidents in attendance, as George H.W. Bush - recently released from the hospital - stayed home, as did his son, George W. Bush, who did not provide a reason but offered Obama "best wishes and prayers on this historic day" in a statement.
Obama's 2012 White House challenger, Mitt Romney, was off of the radar, while his 2008 challenger, Sen. John McCain, was in the audience. Obama's 2008 primary rival, Hillary Clinton, has served the past four years in his administration and attended the ceremony with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Some Republican lawmakers stayed away, too, and a few who did attend the festivities expressed cautious optimism that bipartisanship might prevail.
But Rep. Peter King of New York, wasn't convinced Obama was reciprocating any bi-partisan spirit. "I guess he wants to get a little revenge," King said on CNN.
"I think he should not be as - I don't know if arrogant is the right word. He won the election. I give him credit for that, he won it, he won it fair and square, no doubt about that," he said. "But I think there's been a tone of almost like an imperious tone the last few times."
King's skepticism that even on this day steeped in tradition bi-partisanship could prevail may be onto something. Even lawmakers' own efforts to bring themselves together this season on deficit reform -- by setting the countdown clock for deep, unfavorable spending cuts -- failed, as their last-minute agreement to diffuse the fiscal cliff simply pushed back the deadline for averting the steep spending cuts.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell noted the contrast between legislating and ceremony, congratulating Obama in a statement which said, "Every four years on Inauguration Day, America shows the world that our major political parties can disagree with civility and mutual respect."
"The President's second term represents a fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day; particularly, the transcendent challenge of unsustainable federal spending and debt. Republicans are eager to work with the President on achieving this common goal, and we firmly believe that divided government provides the perfect opportunity to do so," he said.
Sen. John Barrasso, chairman of the Senate Republican conference, said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the president should "hit the reset button with Republicans and really look for solutions to the major problems, and divided government is the perfect time do it."
Others, like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, offered praise for Obama in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash.
"I think that the president did a fine job, certainly laying out what he would like to see happen as far as the future of the country. You know, there are plenty of areas of disagreement. But there also some things fundamentally we agree on," he said, such as that "this country is one of opportunity."
"Hopefully, we can bridge those differences," Cantor said, adding Obama had offered an olive branch when he "went to every table and shook every hand" at the Capitol Hill luncheon.
Obama also hosted legislative leaders from both parties for a traditional tea and coffee at the White House Monday morning before the ceremony.
Sen. John Thune called that informal morning socializing "a really important first step forward."
"Inaugurals are always times of new beginnings, fresh starts, if you will, and I hope this presents that opportunity for us. The president, if he will reach out to Republicans on Capitol Hill, and to Democrats, for that matter, I think we can do some good things together," the South Dakotan said.
"Lord knows we've got challenges ahead of us that will require presidential leadership," he said.
Others, such as Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, noted a "historic" nature of Obama's presidency. "Hopeful we'll find common ground to address our many challenges -we owe it to the next generation," she wrote in a tweet.

Fox News falsely claimed that HealthCare.gov does not allow anonymous shopping in order to stoke fears about security issues with the website. But the website has long had a window shopping feature, and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on December 2 that it had improved the anonymous shopping feature, which allows for accurate insurance plan comparisons without entering sensitive personal information.
The New York Times reported on a dangerous legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) brought by officials in states who refuse to implement their own healthcare exchanges, which has been widely trumpeted in right-wing media. But these lawsuits are based on a far-fetched theory that the law only authorized essential tax credits in state exchanges, not federal ones, a counterintuitive claim that has been widely discredited.

I'm on the side of I want state and religion to be separate and for it to otherwise not matter.It's usually people who come from countries where religion still has a big hand in law who feel strongly about this, and I can understand why.

One of mine is to Finish a lot of story Ideas and show it to the world (Coco Gun-Bun, Squeek and Shred,etc),and hit the 2,000,000 mark on the page (gotta have that one impossible goal also).Another Idea that I hav was to have on of my character (preferably one of the teachers) show how I draw the things that I draw. Being that the only person that I have trained in drawing was my little 5-year-old cousin, Anastasia, I honestly have no idea how to accomplish this. Perhaps something will come up in due time.This year will also mark the revival of the Radio Interviews which are not only fun to do (you DAer's questions crack me up)But it is an inside knowledge of the characters so that you will know them when the stories are finally published.Another goal I have this year is to help out more with ANGRY VIKING PRESS.

Lovely Alaskan cruise

great food, great size ship, interesting fellow cruisers
pushy spa employees
We booked an oceanview stateroom on an Alaska cruise, round trip from Seattle. Boarding was handled very well. We sat and waited to be checked in which was ideal for my elderly mother not to stand in line. After check in there was just a short walk to the ship and we were invited to lunch at the Terrace Cafe while our room was prepared. We enjoyed the open seating and 'country club casual' attire for dining. We met many interesting dinner mates and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend Regatta. We loved how easy it was to move around the ship. Everything was clean and in good condition. Our stateroom was large enough and had plenty of storage. The public spaces were well maintained. The educational lectures were informative. The string quartet and piano players were very good as was the band that accompanied the evening entertainers (who were adequate). We didn't take any excursions but I enjoyed walking around the different ports of call.
Ship Details:
Ship Quality
Perfect size for us. I appreciated the limited smoking areas as I have asthma.
The food is the highlight of the cruise. We enjoyed the Grand Dining Room the most but Pollo Grill and Tuscana were also good. We didn't get to eat at Waves but room service was surprisingly delicious also. I liked that the main dining room menu included a selection from the specialty restaurants on the two larger Oceania ships every night.
Stateroom Quality
The bed was really comfortable (and makes me want to get one just like it for at home). The bathroom is small, but we expected that. The room was a good size for our needs.
Ship Staff Quality
Everyone was very kind and helpful to my mother. The waiters were entertaining as well as fine servers. Our room steward did a knockout job. The omelet chef at breakfast was excellent.
Entertainment & Activities
I really enjoyed the string quartet. My mother loved winning Bingo.

Casual dress attire, food.
Dinner on board was like dining in a five star restaurant each night. A great treat! We ate cautiously the rest of the day, usually coffee in the morning and salad for lunch. Everything was excellent except for the coffee, we couldn't get a decent cup of coffee on board the ship. The ship needs a high quality coffee bar with espresso, lattes, etc. We were very happy with the casual ambience, not having to pack evening clothes for formal evenings was a bonus.

Activities: Not pleased that yoga classes were provided at extra cost. Entertainment: Adequate for a small ship. The piano player in the bar was great and provided a lot of fun.

Poll: No winners out of fiscal cliff talks
View of different players largely split down party lines
A new poll shows neither Republicans nor Democrats in Congress weathered the fiscal cliff showdown well, and Americans' views on the agreement are sharply divided along political lines.
The Gallup survey found only 34% of Americans approved of congressional Democrats' handling of the cliff negotiations. Congressional Republicans scored even lower, with 25% approval. Two thirds - 67% - disapproved of Capitol Hill Republicans' handling of the negotiations and 55% disapproved of how Democrats handled the talks.
After weeks of posturing and behind-the-scenes dealings involving President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a deal was eventually struck between Vice President Joe Biden and McConnell. As the new year began, legally triggering the spending cuts and tax increases collectively known as the fiscal cliff, the deal lumbered through Congress and the crisis was averted - temporarily.
Boehner, the poll showed, registered the highest disapproval for his handling of the situation. But his numbers were within close distance (within the sampling error) of several other key players.
Obama emerged from the talks with a split perception of his role: 48% disapproved of his handling and 46% approved. Fewer respondents registered an uncertain opinion of his role than of any other player.
One half of survey respondents disapproved of how Boehner handled the talks, while 31% approved and 18% had no opinion. He was initially a central player in the talks, negotiating with Obama and offering the first concession from Republicans on tax rates. After pulling his plan B proposal from play, talks then focused on McConnell and Reid.
Reid, the top Democrat in the Senate, scored a 48% disapproval and 27% approval rating. McConnell's score was nearly identical, with 46% disapproving and 28% approving.
The final deal was negotiated between McConnell and Biden, who scored a 42% disapproval and 40% approval rating.
The deal itself was met with mixed reaction overall: 45% disapproved and 43% approved. The split emerged along partisan lines, with 65% of Republicans disapproving and 67% of Democrats approving. Independents were divided 46% against and 39% in support.
The poll did not ask whether or not individuals were relieved or not that the cliff was behind them. For those who enjoy the Capitol Hill showdowns, more remain this year, including upcoming scheduled spending cuts (pushed back by the fiscal cliff deal), the debt ceiling, and funding the government. The current government funding measure expires in late March.
The poll was conducted on January 3 by telephone among 1,026 adults and had a sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.

'Town crier' radio thrives
The sound of music fills a radio studio on a Saturday afternoon. Children's tiny voices sing Christian songs.
As David Ventura fades out the music and turns on the microphone, the voice of pastor George Contreras travels across the airwaves throughout central Virginia. The music and voices originate in Henrico County. In January 2012, WBTK 1380 AM radio moved from Richmond to studios in the Glenside area. The station's tower has always been in Lakeside. While based in Henrico County, the station hopes to appeal to Hispanic listeners and others from around the region who want to hear Christian songs, a mix of Spanish music and family-friendly programs. "All of the music that we play, all the programming that we play, it is all targeted toward the family," said Glen Motto, operations manager. "The lyrics of all of the songs are going to be safe." Motto said the station changed formats six years ago. The owners realized the region's Hispanic community was growing. "Henrico is the sixth largest county in Virginia in terms of Hispanic population," Motto said. "When you include Chesterfield and Richmond, the Hispanic population nears 50,000." Radio stations play a central role in Hispanic communities in the U.S. and in Latin American countries. Felipe Korzenny of The Center for Hispanic Marketing Communications at Florida State University writes in his blog that radio traditionally serves "as the town-crier in an interactive way" and the "radio announcer publicizes jobs…and spreads the word about local events." That's exactly what drew WBTK announcer Oscar Contreras to the station. Contreras, who lives in Henrico County, didn't expect to be working at a radio station. He came to Richmond to study film and photography at Virginia Commonwealth University after his family moved to Culpeper from Guatemala. But one day in his car, he heard the new radio station. He liked what he heard and called to apply for a job. He's been at the station since then. Contreras considers the station a community resource offering such programs as "Focus on the Community," which airs each Monday. "When I came into the radio [station, it] was in my heart to do a community show where we can inform people about what's going on in the region, events, the services, have interviews with different experts on different topics," he said. "We open the lines and people call; people ask questions." The station works with local governments and nonprofit agencies to share information with its Hispanic listeners. And of course the station connects advertisers with what Motto calls an "underserved market." Most of the music and programs are in Spanish, but long-time announcer "Brother Herb" Pollard hosts a morning show Monday through Friday in English. On a recent Friday morning, Pollard played religious songs and testimonials interspersed with weather and traffic reports. Pollard, who is black, said one of his roles is to encourage his listeners. Another role he has taken on is to help build bridges between the area's Hispanic and African-American communities. "I bridge the gap between two cultures," Pollard said. "I try to do it by music and by communication. I show equal love to all cultures." This story is part of the series "Virginia Tapestry: Reflecting Our Rich Diversity," produced by In Your Shoes Media. |
Varina's Big Toy parade to help usher in holiday season
In Varina, one of the most anticipated events of the season is approaching. The 19th Annual Big Toy Parade will return on Dec 14, offering a "homey," small-town feel that helps elicit holiday spirit among participants and spectators alike.
The parade, which begins at 3 p.m., is sponsored by the Battlefield Ruritans and Henrico County Parks and Recreation and is held in conjunction with the James River Boat Parade. It is led by a grand marshal along Old Osborne Turnpike and ends at the Osborne Boat Landing, where hundreds of community members gather to await nightfall and the arrival of lighted boats, concluding a festive holiday celebration. > Read more.

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

A taste trip through Latin America
Estilo charms, with a stylish twist, in Henrico's Near West End
If you're looking for something a little different from the standard, ho-hum restaurant experience, look no further than The Village shopping center. Among the recent success stories to put down roots in The Village is Estilo, created by the owners of the gastropub Toast (featured in a Feb. 21 review in the Citizen), only a few steps away.
Estilo – which translates to style – offers a taste of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, among other countries, and a menu that rotates regularly through the rest of Central and South America. > Read more.
Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

Jennifer Lawrence almost used bow, arrows to defend home
Actress says she had just gotten back from training, heard men in home
Jennifer Lawrence's "Hunger Games" training hasn't gone to waste.
The 22-year-old actress told Vanity Fair that, like her character Katniss Everdeen, she's not afraid to whip out her bow and arrow in the name of self-defense.
In fact, she told VF, she's done it once before:
"I pulled into my garage and I heard men in my house. And I was like, 'I'm not letting them take my stuff.' I had just gotten back from training, so I had the bow and arrows in the back of my car. I went to my car and I put this quiver on me and I had my bow and I loaded it and I'm walking up the stairs. And I look and my patio doors were open, and there were guys working right there, and I was like, 'Heyyy, how you doin'?"
Thankfully for those guys, no arrows were fired -- a fact that disappointed Lawrence's friends.
"They were like, 'We've got to stage someone to break into your house and you can kill them!'" Lawrence said. "That would be the funniest news ever. Katniss Everdeen actually kills someone with a bow and arrow!"

Sustrans' cycle route 72 from South Shields, Tyne & Wear to Silloth in Cumbria, taking in Hadrians' Wall en-route, and specifically the section from Hexham to Haltwhistle passes right by the door of the Boatside Inn. Why not make the Boatside Inn a stopover point for the night, its approximately 40 miles from South Shields.Check out the Sustrans web site for other appropriate routes in Northumberland, such as the "Coasts and Castles" route from Tynemouth to Berwick, or the "Reivers Cycle Route" from Tynemouth to Whitehaven.For those who want to bring their bikes just for a potter around, you can follow the section of route 72 down the path beside the railway line to Tyne Green Hexham, roughly following the river.
For mountain bike enthusiasts, Kielder Forest is probably the best place to go, and you can even hire a bike there normally.
The river Tyne is regarded by many as England's premier Salmon fishing river. You can book fishing through WWW.Wardenfishing.co.uk. Details of tariffs and beats can be found on this site. You will of course need your own rod licence, obtainable from the Post Office to fish.
Please contact 01434 602233 if you are interested in either combining a stay in the B & B or Self Catering accommodation together with your fishing
Note: The season for salmon on the English rivers is 1 February to 31 October but a "catch and release" byelaw obliges the return of any salmon caught before 16 June. There is no "catch and release" for sea trout and the season is from 3 April to 31 October.
Other well know rivers in the area include the Tweed (classed as a Scottish river), which is under two hours away, and the Coquet a little over an hour way.
There are also excellent lakes and reservoirs to fish in the area, including Kielder (recent site for the National Fly Fishing Championship) being only 30 minutes away, and Derwent a very similar distance in the other direction.

People in Hampshire are living longer than ever before
Friday, 14 December 2012
The population of Hampshire is changing in line with national trends, albeit in some cases, more slowly than the rest of England and Wales. New data released from the 2011 census, by the Office for National Statistics this week, shows a number of clear developments since the last census in 2001, providing important information for the planning and delivery of County Council services.
Key findings:
Hampshire's total population in 2011 was 1.32 million (1.76 million including the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth);
The number of people aged 65 and over increased by 21% and now stands at 18% of the population, compared to 16% in England and Wales;
More than 34,000 of Hampshire's residents are aged over 85, a 35% increase since 2001;
23% of all Hampshire's households are occupied by pensioners; of these more than half are pensioners living alone;
Home ownership in Hampshire has dropped from 76.5% in 2001 to 71.5% in 2011, following the national trend;
Households which have cars increased by 1%, with Hart retaining the highest car ownership in England and Wales;
Numbers with degree-level qualifications have increased to 30%, now far out-stripping those with no qualifications at all (19%).
Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber, said: "The 2011 census results offer a fascinating window into how the population of Hampshire is changing, and there are implications for all of the services the County Council provides. For example, in adult social care we are making unprecedented investment in prevention and early intervention to build community capacity, alongside the development of older people's specialist housing through Extra Care, where we have announced a programme of up to £45 million for capital spending over the next few years. We've also invested millions of pounds into capital programmes to support additional school places, one of our biggest capital investments since the 1990s.
"The County Council is busy examining these results in detail and will publish further analysis in due course to ensure public sector resource is targeted to where it's most needed, now and in the future."

Pete Jackson attended his brother-in-law's funeral along with his daughter, Emily, six years ago. He never dreamed it would be the last day of his daughter's life.
"It's so tragic, just not something you would never, ever expect," said Pete Jackson.
Instead of going home to the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights after the funeral, Emily Jackson, 18, spent the night with her cousins.
That night, she made a deadly decision. She took an Oxycontin -- a single prescription pill -- that her cousin offered to her while drinking. She went to sleep that night and never woke up. She died of respiratory depression -- she simply stopped breathing.
The Oxycontin that Emily took belonged to her uncle, who had died of cancer.
While taking one pill and dying is rare, dying accidentally after using painkillers inappropriately is common.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one person dies from a drug overdose every 19 minutes. About 28,754 Americans died after accidentally overdosing on legal or illegal drugs in 2009, according to the CDC; about half of those deaths involved prescription painkillers.
Those numbers are significant enough to make prescription drugs one of the leading causes of accidental death in this county. It's a statistic that has led some experts to call prescription drug abuse an epidemic.
"If you asked any guy on the street what the leading cause of accidental death is, they would guess gunshot or car accident," said Tom McLellan, co-founder of the Treatment Research Institute, a nonprofit organization advocating for improvements in substance abuse policies. "They would never imagine it's pharmaceutical opioids (painkillers)."
John Castellani -- the president and CEO of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, which represents and lobbies on behalf of drug manufacturers -- said America's problem with prescription drugs is unacceptable. But he insisted the drugs are safe when used as recommended.
"The problem we're dealing with with prescription drug abuse is having to balance those patients (who abuse prescription drugs) and those millions of patients that benefit from these medicines because they have a need that they and their physicians have recognized," Castellani said.
Emily Jackson was on the road to recovery after a 2002 diagnosis of thyroid cancer and undergoing three surgeries to fight it.
She and her cousin had done "a bit of drinking" the night she died, Pete Jackson said. But he is sure that had she not taken the Oxycontin, she would still be alive today.
"I've never tried to make it sound like Emily is innocent," Jackson said. "What I want people to understand about Emily's tragedy is how easily this can happen, how dangerous these drugs are."
'You play Russian roulette'
The prescription painkiller Emily Jackson took is a respiratory depressant that slows breathing. That in combination with the alcohol, another respiratory depressant, overwhelmed her brain, which stopped giving her heart and lungs the signal to keep functioning.
"In many ways, you play Russian roulette," said Kathleen Meyers, a senior researcher for the Treatment Research Institute, who added that adolescents and young adults are particularly at risk because they feel invincible. "You have no idea the (respiratory) consequences of any one group of substances, and then you put all that together and the risks go up exponentially."
It's not just an issue among teenagers. In fact, rates of accidental overdose among teens, while still a major public health problem, are actually going down. This problem spans many demographics.
In fact, males in their 40s and 50s who start off with a prescription for back pain and die from an accidental overdose several years later are dying in significant numbers.
"Could you imagine, a worker that popped their back, and we started to put them on (pain) medication and three years later they were dead?" Dr. Alex Cahana, the chief of pain medicine at the University of Washington, told CNN. "That's devastating."
The devastation began for Steve Rummler when he got a prescription for nerve pain radiating through his leg and back. It started when he was 28. For the next nine years, the Minneapolis man endured the pain.
It was not until 2005, when Rummler was 37, that a doctor prescribed hydrocodone to address his pain, along with clonazepam, a benzodiazepine and anti-anxiety medication, to relieve his injury-related anxiety.
Family members said it was the first time in nearly a decade Rummler felt relief from the life-altering pain he endured.
But that relief was short-lived. In a journal entry, Rummler said of the drugs, "At first they were a lifeline. Now they are a noose around my neck."
It is a common sentiment, and a common scenario, according to Meyers, who says Rummler's case is far too common -- a person genuinely needs opioids but becomes addicted to the relief they provide.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Freddie12345 Best shoes I ever wore
I was looking for some black deck shoes and had a hard time finding them. I finally saw these in Dillards but they were so expensive so I passed. Then I went back to get them but they did not have my size. So I bought them online. Boy am I ever glad I changed my mind. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and were so worth the money that I ordered these brown ones as well. Now I have two comfortable pairs of shoes. Good job Sperry!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Heisenburg Awesome
These shoes are the best. They're very stylish, extremely flexible, and very cushioned. By far the best boat shoe that I have ever bought. Even though they're pretty expensive, I could easily see myself with a couple pairs of these.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by NYC Kid Perfect
My first Gold cup series. I have had at least 8 pair over the past 40 years of the Authentic boat shoes. "Can't Beat Them"
I think the Gold Cup series will be great.
December 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Arturo Very comfy, but may not be afull muccasin construction. I have some concerns about the softness of the outer leather.
Having worn topsiders for 30 yearsâ¦through the prep school mania and college, I remember an American made product that had a more durable and better tranned leatherâ¦like it had come from Horwein or a plave like that. Also, the soles were a bit more substantial. The Gold Cup I have has a litter thicker sole than the originals I used to wear, but it is a bit softer sole. It does stick well, but the softness is not quite what I remember. The soft insides are pleasantly nice to the touch, and that softness does not bother me. Inside the shoe when you peek, looking in the front, appears to be a full moccasin construction based on the front stitching. But if you peek under the cushioned insert at the heel, it appears that under that section there is a section without leather. I may be corrected, but if that is the case it seems like a cheap choice when it would take very little to do the full moc which made all Topsiders special and added quality. I wish that this company had stayed in US as did another great moccasin and shoe maker (Maine) and had kept the quality to what it was when I grew up. But we will see how these wear. No question they are very attractive shoes.

Hire Sound Technicians in Webster County, IA
Select your location below to browse services near you.
Easy peasy!
If think boom means a loud noise, a master is the ruler of a kingdom, that active crossover is move a basketball player makes, and that quadrophonic isn't a real word, then you obviously aren't a sound technician. It also means you definitely should not be running the sound board! Let one of these professionals take over the board and make sure your event's sound goes off flawlessly. With one of these guys in the sound room or behind the board you don't have to worry about squealing microphones or the bass volume overwhelming the singer.

Hair loss and thinning along with dullness can be caused by diet, genetics, health problems, hormones, medication side effects or stress. Hair supplements - taken orally as either tablets or capsules - encourage the production of strong and shiny hair from the inside out. These supplements include ingredients that are easily absorbed by the body and can lead to thicker manes and longer lashes.
Hair supplements may contain vitamins and minerals to help address a deficiency of these essentials in your diet. Formulations can include the vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as folic acid and zinc. However, take care not to exceed the recommended daily allowances of these vitamins and minerals, as doing so may cause a nutritional imbalance.
As an additional advantage, taking hair supplements may also benefit the health of your skin and nails thanks to the keratin component found in all three. You can enjoy a fuller head of bouncy hair, brighter and more radiant skin, and long nails that resist cracking and breakage.
Because these supplements work below the skin to both restore the growth of hair and boost the existing follicles, results may take several months to appear.
