Although Sceptile is often eclipsed by other Grass-types, such as the omnipresent Venusaur, he has the potential to effectively fill a variety of different roles on a standard UU team. As the fastest non-Uber SubSeeder, Sceptile is one of the most effective users of the strategy. Additionally, with high Speed and Special Attack, Sceptile is tailor-made for the role of fast, deadly special sweeper; access to moves like Swords Dance and Leaf Blade, as well as a usable Attack stat, make Sceptile a viable physical sweeper. Despite his offensive prowess, Sceptile's low defenses often limit his survivability. When used correctly, however, Sceptile can singlehandedly sweep or stall through large portions of the UU metagame. All in all, Sceptile is a very versatile Pokemon who is a mainstay in the UU environment and should always be considered when making a UU team.
With the advent of DPP, Sceptile's ADV title of the fastest SubSeed user in the game was usurped by Shaymin-S. Now, however, with Shaymin-S banished to the Uber tier, Sceptile finally has time to shine. Sceptile boasts numerous advantages over other common UU SubSeeders, such as Tangrowth and the ubiquitous Venusaur. Most notably, Sceptile possesses a magnificent base 120 Speed, which lets him outpace the entire UU metagame (apart from Swellow and Electrode). Sceptile's ability, Overgrow, works perfectly with Substitute, allowing Sceptile to launch more powerful STAB Grass attacks if he ends up Substituting to low health. He also has a respectable base 105 Special Attack to wear opponents down faster.
The tried-and-true strategy of SubSeeding is nothing new to Sceptile, having previously been Sceptile's flagship set in ADV. Switch Sceptile in on something he scares away (such as Milotic or Rhyperior), throw up a Substitute, and strike the switch-in with Leech Seed. From here, Sceptile's prodigious Speed allows him to create an near-infinite string of Substitutes to weather the opponent's assault, while simultaneously draining their health every turn. Sceptile can speed up the process by attacking with Energy Ball and Hidden Power Ice. Leaf Storm is a viable alternative to Energy Ball, because Substitute often brings Sceptile under 1/3 of his health (thus activating Overgrow). A STAB Overgrow Leaf Storm is tremendously strong, and can dent many of Sceptile's counters. However, the harsh drop in Special Attack hurts Sceptile's attacking prowess.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Three things make Sceptile a brilliant candidate for a Choice Specs set: his respectable base 105 Special Attack, his blazing base 120 Speed, and his wide special movepool. A STAB Choice Specs Leaf Storm from Sceptile is downright scary and will blast its way through almost anyone who doesn't resist it. Unfortunately, Grass isn't the best offensive type, so this is where the other moves come to the rescue. Focus Blast provides a high-power (albeit inaccurate) tool for hitting the likes of Registeel and Chansey, while Hidden Power Ice strikes Flying-types (specifically Altaria) and fellow Grass-types (specifically Venusaur) who are keen to switch in on Sceptile. The last slot presents a choice of Energy Ball or Dragon Pulse, two moves that are best suited for late-game sweeping. Energy Ball provides Sceptile with a reliable STAB move when Leaf Storm isn't needed, whereas Dragon Pulse offers superior type coverage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With his excellent Speed and Special Attack, Sceptile functions quite well at sweeping with a Life Orb boost. Sceptile's pure Grass typing helps him switch into many common attacks, such as Surf and Earthquake (unlike Venusaur), and Synthesis allows him to instantly replenish his health, giving him more sustainability. Leaf Storm from Sceptile's base 105 Special Attack will destroy most Pokemon, apart from those who resist it or have obscenely high Special Defense (such as Chansey). Focus Blast is an excellent attack to open with because most of Sceptile's counters are either Steel-type or Normal-type. To round off Sceptile's type coverage, Hidden Power Psychic or Hidden Power Ice can be used. Hidden Power Psychic nails Weezing, Blaziken, Venusaur, and Toxicroak, while Hidden Power Ice deals with opposing Grass-types and Altaria. Most Grass-types, however, will take a lot of damage from or be OHKOed by Focus Blast.
At first glance, the EV spread may seem strange, but it's tailored to do specific tasks. Special Attack is maximized because Sceptile needs to hit as hard as possible. Speed is the next thing that's considered, since Sceptile should at least outspeed neutral-natured base 110s and positive-natured base 95s. 176 EVs will suffice, but if you opt for Hidden Power Psychic, invest another 4 EVs to make up for the reduced Speed IVs, making it 180 Speed EVs in total. The remaining EVs are dumped in HP to help Sceptile switch into resisted attacks; however, with Hidden Power Psychic, 76 HP EVs will only allow Sceptile ten attacks before it faints from Life Orb recoil, so 4 EVs should be relocated to Special Defense. Otherwise, with Hidden Power Ice, the spread is a simpler 80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe. Alternatively, maximizing Speed with a Timid nature is also an option. This allows you to outpace Pokemon like Scyther and Mismagius at the cost of 2HKOing Pokemon such as Registeel and losing approximately 6% of Sceptile's total HP.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Sceptile is traditionally seen as a specially-based Pokemon because his base 105 Special Attack often overshadows his middling base 85 Attack. However, Swords Dance, the transition of Leaf Blade becoming physical, and a good physical movepool all work to make Sceptile a viable physical attacker. This set is simple - use Swords Dance to boost Sceptile's Attack to an impressive 538, then attack with the remainder of Sceptile's moves. Leaf Blade was pumped up to 90 Base Power during the D/P transition. Its decent power and high critical hit rate make it a solid STAB move for Sceptile and a must on any physical set. Earthquake provides great neutral coverage and allows Sceptile to hit Registeel and Poison-types. X-Scissor can be used over Earthquake, allowing Sceptile a way to dispose of Tangrowth and Leafeon. Rock Slide grants Sceptile universal type coverage in UU, while also taking care of otherwise dangerous threats such as Moltres and Altaria. Double-Edge is a viable alternative to Rock Slide, providing neutral coverage against the likes of Venusaur and Moltres.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although Sceptile is commonly seen as a sweeper or SubSeeder, using it as an attacking lead to prevent early setup is a viable alternative. Boasting a base 105 Special Attack stat, Sceptile's Leaf Storm is capable of KOing many of the popular leads utilized in the UU metagame. Quick Attack is Sceptile's best choice to beat faster, frailer leads, like Electrode, before they can cause serious damage to Sceptile.
Hidden Power Ice allows Sceptile to beat leads such as Torterra and Jumpluff before they can set up Stealth Rock or put Sceptile to sleep, respectively. Endeavor can be used in place of Hidden Power if you opt for Focus Sash, as it allows Sceptile to beat bulky Pokemon who try to set up after Sceptile's Focus Sash breaks. Such Pokemon include Registeel, who often tries to force Sceptile to switch while setting up Stealth Rock. Rock Slide is a great move for Sceptile, allowing it to effectively dispose of Moltres and Scyther who try to kill it with their STAB attacks, especially the latter, who is a very common lead. Rock Slide also allows Sceptile to beat Swellow if Sceptile holds Focus Sash.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
As mentioned before, Sceptile has good physical and special attacking stats. Additionally, many of his moves became physical during the DPP transition, allowing for both of his potent attacking stats to be utilized. This paves the way for him to become an effective mixed sweeper in the UU environment. This particular Sceptile is capable of destroying stall and does a very good job in taking out the premier walls in UU. Leaf Storm is Sceptile's primary method of attacking, scoring massive damage against the likes of Milotic and Rhyperior. Hidden Power Ice provides Sceptile with a valuable tool for hitting the ever-present Venusaur. The remaining two physical moves should be used in complementary pairs. The advantages and disadvantages of each pair are listed below:
Leaf Blade and Earthquake allows Sceptile to 3HKO Registeel with Earthquake and 2HKO Chansey with Leaf Blade. Leaf Blade also provides Sceptile with a reliable STAB move. However, these two attacks leave Sceptile helpless against Moltres. Another combination is Low Kick and Leaf Blade; Low Kick grant Sceptile a valuable 2HKO on Registeel, while Leaf Blade, as mentioned before, cleanly 2HKOes Chansey. Yet, Sceptile sacrifices coverage on Arcanine and Moltres. Rock Slide and Low Kick are another good duo, as Low Kick 2HKOes Registeel, while Rock Slide lets Sceptile OHKO Moltres; this leaves him susceptible to bulky Arcanine, though. Lastly, Rock Slide and Earthquake can be used together, giving Sceptile the best coverage; these two moves allow him to 3HKO Registeel, 2HKO bulky Arcanine, and OHKO Moltres. Earthquake and Rock Slide, however, leave Sceptile without a reliable STAB move.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Sceptile can abuse Overgrow, his sky-high Speed stat, and his ability to force switches by running a SubLiechi set. The premise of the set is to Substitute on something Sceptile scares away, and then use Swords Dance. Then, continue to Substitute, which will forcibly activate the Liechi Berry. From here, Sceptile has an astronomically powered +3 STAB Overgrow Leaf Blade at his disposal. This enormously powerful attack, coupled with Sceptile's prodigious Speed, make a SubLiechi set very dangerous. However, this set is somewhat hard to set up, and priority users have a field day with it.
Another attractive (albeit unreliable) option that Sceptile has at his disposal is the possibility of running an Endeavor set. After surviving a fatal blow (via Focus Sash or Endure), Sceptile can use Endeavor to lower his opponent's HP to 1, as long as the target in question is not Ghost-type. More importantly, however, Sceptile's Overgrow ability activates, powering up his already powerful Leaf Storm. Even better, Sceptile can use Quick Attack to dispose of Endeavor-weakened opponents. However, the one thing restricting the viability of this set is the abundance of priority users in UU, which nullifies the purpose of this set completely.
Sceptile has access to Pursuit, Crunch, and Night Slash, three Dark moves that can work on the physical sets. However, their type coverage is unremarkable. In the healing department, besides Leech Seed, he receives Synthesis and Giga Drain. In terms of an alternative STAB move, Grass Knot is always an option, but generally should not be used unless one is planning to use Sceptile in the OU environment. Sceptile can use Counter in conjunction with Focus Sash to produce some interesting but generally unreliable results. Screech is an interesting option but is generally overshadowed by Swords Dance unless Sceptile is trying to force switches. Sceptile receives ThunderPunch, but not Ice Punch to batter Dragons. Sceptile can throw together a Choice Band set, but Swords Dance packs more power and is generally more reliable. Additionally, Sceptile learns the Sunny Day + SolarBeam combo, but is too frail to pull it off successfully.
Checks and Counters
Defensively, Weezing is arguably the best Sceptile counter around; he resists Grass, Ground, and Fighting (the most common attack combination Sceptile uses) and can burn physical variants as well as dispatch of any variant with STAB Sludge Bomb. Sceptile is also prone to being revenge killed by Scarfed Pokemon, particularly the likes of Moltres and Typhlosion. Registeel is also a fairly reliable counter to Sceptile lacking Focus Blast or Earthquake. Chansey sufficiently walls any specially based set well; a Specs Focus Blast can only muster a 3HKO (37.29% - 43.99%). Chansey must be wary of the mixed sweeper, though - his prime objective is to lure Chansey out and then strike her with physical attacks. Clefable's Magic Guard ability, which prevents her from being afflicted by passive damage, allows her to serve as a hard counter to SubSeed Sceptile. Venusaur is also a good check to Sceptile, as he can freely switch in on any of Sceptile's Grass-type attacks (watch out for Hidden Power Ice, though).
Flying-types, as mentioned before, are Sceptile's Achilles' heel. Swellow is a dangerous late-game threat that can outspeed Sceptile and OHKO him with Brave Bird. However, due to his frailty, he must stay on his toes and not switch in carelessly. Altaria is defensively bulky and can take on pretty much any Sceptile set without fear of retribution unless Sceptile is running Hidden Power Ice. Moltres sports a quad-resistance to Grass and can take care of any Sceptile lacking Rock Slide or Hidden Power Rock.

Summary of Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel Summary of Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel Reviews for Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel An Excerpt from Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel
The dramatic final book in the epic historical trilogy about the lives and loves of the three daughters of the great Talmud scholar Rashi
Rachel is the youngest and most beautiful daughter of medieval Jewish scholar Salomon ben Isaac, or Rashi. Her fathers favorite and adored by her new husband, Eliezer, Rachels life looks to be one of peaceful scholarship, laughter, and love. But events beyond her control will soon threaten everything she holds dear. Marauders of the First Crusade massacre nearly the entire Jewish population of Germany, and her beloved father suffers a stroke. Eliezer wants their family to move to the safety of Spain, but Rachel is determined to stay in France and help her family save the Troyes yeshiva, the only remnant of the great centers of Jewish learning in Europe.
As she did so effectively in Joheved and Miriam, Maggie Anton vividly brings to life the world of eleventh-century France and a remarkable Jewish woman of dignity, passion, and strength.

So bomb! Must try the bacon wrapped dates and chicken chopped salad if you have never been. yummmmmmmy
Great food and fun atmosphere – This is one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas and I love introducing friends to it. The tapas style menu makes it great for small to medium sized groups. You also get a lot of variety for a very reasonable price. I?ve tried almost everything on the menu and this is my list of favorite dishes and the ones I?d pass on.
Artichoke toasts- My boyfriend who doesn?t even like artichokes, likes this one.
Stuffed Dates- Great flavors and textures. The sweetness from the dates and saltiness from the bacon and blue cheese are such a wonderful combination. The red wine reduction really brings it all together and the almond adds a nice crunch.
Albondigas- Just well done meatballs in marinara.
Ham and cheese croquetas- Fried meat and cheese, it?s a little hard to go wrong there.
Merguez- A flavorful lamb sausage served with red pepper and tomato confit. The sweetness from the confit compliments the slightly spicy sausage nicely.
Firefly* fish sticks- Fried tilapia fillets with a great texture and usually perfectly cooked. (Once when they were busy, the fish sticks came out over cooked.)
Fried calamari- Well done calamari served with a garlic aioli. The aioli can be a bit pungent, but not enough to deter me from this dish.
Camarones a la diabla- Shrimp in a sweet and slightly spicy Asian influenced sauce.
Passion fruit mini-cheesecakes- The passion fruit flavor just explodes in your mouth; perfectly tart and sweet.
Pass on:
Tuna peppers- Tuna salad stuffed in marinated sweet peppers. The tuna salad was nothing special, and the peppers were a tad too sweet for this application.
Stuffed peppers- Little peppers stuffed with cheese and topped off with a tomato sauce. This dish was boring compared to the others. It reminded me of not good Italian food.
Crispy duck rolls- Let me start off by saying duck is one of my all time favorite foods. With that said, these were a complete disappointment. The filling in the rolls was so overpowering you could not taste the duck. It really tasted like a bad egg roll. On another occasion my friend, who also loves duck, ordered these and agreed they were not very good.
Paella- This was edible, but certainly nothing to rave about. It was missing that nice crust on the bottom of the pan, and the texture of the rice was a little too sticky for paella.
If you are near the strip and want Tapas, I would suggest Firefly* over Cafe Ba Ba Reeba. The food and prices are better. If you are looking for a pitcher of tasty sangria, choose Ba Ba Reeba over Firefly*. Ba Ba Reeba adds hard liquor to their sangria for a nice kick to compliment the sweet fruity beverage.
Excellent Food! Bad Servic – The food is sooooo good! The Mojitos a must! The service boring, unenthusiastic, and not friendly, not personable, management not supportive, loved but will never eat

means everthing!
My favorite Restaurant in LV – This is by far the best restaurant I've been to in Las Vegas. Some may say the portions are small, but this is what Tapas are all about... you get a little of everything and I can assure you, there was not a dish there I have regretted ordering. All meats are perfectly seasoned and cooked, dishes are very creative and have the perfect balance of flavors. Prices are very similar to other Tapas place everywhere. 2 people may eat and get full with 5 tapas at an average of $8 per tapa. Given the quality of the food, I think the price is superb! There are not enough stars to rate this restaurant.
Excellent! – Came here with a group of 8 and had about 15 diffent tapas...every one was excellent. Highlights were the Thai Beef salad, Filet Mignon sliders, Ahi Tuna to name a couple. The sangria is a must have as well!
Firefly = Good Food + Ambiance – I had been there for the first time for a dinner party. I really liked the food and the ambiance there.
Trendy & Delicious! – the ambiance of this place is very enticing, and the food is so freakin good! The only downside is that the service takes forever, but its so much fun to just go with some friends and hang out, you wont even notice how long it takes...as long as you get a pitcher of their awesome sangria!
My new favorite restaurant in LV – If you're looking for unique Las Vegas dining and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, try Firefly on Paradise. It's located off the strip, but well worth the trip. The food is spectacular, and affordable, and the mojito's are the best I've ever had. Try the pomegranite mojito...awesome!
It's usually pretty crowded so you know it's good.
Trendy but why? – I would not recommend Firefly. The food is average and the service is terrible. Way too crowded and cramped in there. Move on, there are plenty of other places that are way better near the Strip.
Best tapas in town! – Firefly is amazing! The service is friendly and fast and the food is yummy :) It is very busy, but it is worth the wait. If there is a long line and you have a small party look for places at the bar. The service is still just as great there and it's just as fun! The Sangria is amazing!!

PHILADELPHIA -- The Heat's chances of securing a pretty attractive first-round pick in June's draft seem to be declining by the day, largely because of the disappointing play of its opponent Saturday.
The Heat will get Philadelphia's first-round draft pick this season only if the 76ers make the playoffs. The first-round pick is lottery protected for 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Heat's own 2013 first-round pick belongs to Cleveland as a result of the LeBron James sign-and-trade.
Philadelphia entered Saturday 31/2 games behind Milwaukee for the eighth playoff spot and remains without center Andrew Bynum, who hasn't played this season because of a knee injury and isn't close to returning despite practicing Friday, coach Doug Collins said.
Toronto entered Saturday 4 1/2 games back of the No. 8 spot, with the No. 8 team likely drawing the Heat in the first round. The Bucks are the favorite, even more so after acquiring J.J. Redick from Orlando before Thursday's trade deadline.
If the Sixers surprisingly make the playoffs, the pick the Heat would receive likely would be the 15th overall. Otherwise, Miami will have to wait until a year the 76ers make the playoffs or in 2016 — whichever comes first.
Though the Heat will use primarily veteran players as long as it is a championship contender, there is a benefit to developing young, cheap labor, especially as the league's luxury tax becomes more onerous in the next two years.
The Heat could have a few roster openings this summer, even beyond the one that already exists. Miami likely will use the amnesty clause on Mike Miller. Chris Andersen will be a free agent and Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis have opt-out clauses, though Lewis said he won't use his. There are contract options for Jarvis Varnado (Heat's decision) and James Jones (his decision).
The Heat acquired the pick on draft night last June when it chose former Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultree at No. 27 and sent him to the 76ers for the 45th pick and a future first-rounder.
The Heat used the 45th selection on LSU center Justin Hamilton, who is playing overseas and will be invited to join the Heat's summer program beginning in July. Moultree has played in only 19 games for the 76ers, averaging 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds.
Without naming the Knicks, a New York reporter asked Chris Bosh before Saturday's game if it annoys or amuses him when teams say they can beat Miami in a seven-game series. Knicks coach Mike Woodson and forward Carmelo Anthony made that claim recently, with Woodson saying: "I think if we're in a seven-game series with them, I truly believe we have an opportunity to beat them."
Bosh answered this way: "People have been saying that for a while, and it's only happened once. When it's go time, when it's time to put it all on the line, we feel we're the best team out there.
"During the season, late season, early playoffs, late playoffs, when we're playing at our best, we're the best team in the league."
• After a defensive drop-off earlier in the season, the Heat is back where it typically stands — in the top 10 in key defensive categories. Miami entered Saturday eighth in field-goal shooting percentage against (44.1) and 10th in points per game allowed (96.1). "Their defense is fabulous," Collins said before Saturday's game.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who made only minor tweaks to the team's defensive approach, said: "The consistency wasn't there in the first 20 games, but our guys understand what our identity is."
Is there another level the team can go defensively once the playoffs start? "There better be," Spoelstra said.
• Collins, before the game: "If you get in transition against the Heat, you're toast. You have no chance. … LeBron James has no weakness."
Miller stayed in South Florida with an inner ear infection but should be available for Sunday's home game against Cleveland, Spoelstra said.

The product I saw online and read about and finally ordered was delivered in a timely manner. I was kept up to date the whole way by e-mails from overstock.com including a final one to confirm that the item had been delivered. The product itself (a 12 inch Memory Gel Mattress) was just as described online. I installed it per the enclosed instructions and enjoyed the advantages of this new type of mattress right away. The very first night I slept better than on my old mattress, no taking a week or more to get used to something different and there were no lines to fall into where buttons had been sown or the feeling of harder places where springs are. I have now been using the mattress for over a month and am completely happy with my choice, I am diabled and my sore spots no longer get worse do to the way I lay on my mattress but I feel very comfortable and the support is amazing without taking away from the soft top, my next step is to get Memory Gel Pillows.
I love this Mattress! I had a 10 inch memory foam Mattress in the past when I lived in LA. I hated how hot it slept but loved the comfort factor. No matter what the temperature of the room the mattress was an oven. I think it is so important to note whether each buyer is new to Memory Foam or have had it in the past. People think the cooling-gel means its going to make you sleep cooler than average and that is untrue. For anyone who knows memory foam they know it sleeps hot and adding the cooling-gel brings memory foam back to a normal sleeping temperature. It's comfortable and just right when it comes to firmness. I love this mattress.
As most of us are I was very skeptical about buying a mattress online. I did alot of research and from the reviews on this mattress I decided to buy. Shipping was fast and I recieved it in a black bag similar to a sleeping bag cover. I'm assuming it was bagged and shipped within days because it only took 8hrs(with me and my wife sleeping on it) to reach 12". I slept on spring mattresses my whole life so it took me a few nights to adjust to the memory foam. I gotta say, we LOVE it!! It's a medium firmness which is the recommended by doctors for back pain. The only thing i could complain about is the "factory" like smell it gives off which took 3-4 days to fade away. Kinda like a freshly painted house....all in all this is a great product for an AMAZING price! Don't hesitate, sleep better quickly and order.
I bought this to replace an innerspring mattress that had started sagging, and I can honestly say, it was the smartest thing I've done in a long time. No more backaches! I It's really soft but at the same time gives very good support. I kept my original box spring and placed this on top of it. After letting it air out for 24 hours, I put a heated mattress pad on it and topped it with a waterproof mattress pad. A coworker has a memory foam mattress and she told me that if you get it wet, it makes the foam clump up, so I figured better safe than sorry. I've had this mattress for several weeks now and I don't know who likes it the most, me or my cat. The only difference between the one I got and the picture is mine has white sides and top. Excellent service by Overstock.com and by UPS, which delivered it. Arrived when it was supposed to and was left outside my door.
I absolutely LOVE this mattress. I've never slept better! I used to get backaches every night and also too warm on the conventional mattresses I've had in the past. My body temperature seems to stay consistent throughout the night so the gel must really help with that. My daughter tried it out and I ended up buying her the same mattress. When I was in the market for purchasing a new mattress I talked to several of my friends and many raved about the Tempurpedic brand, which they paid anywhere from $XXXX to $XXXX for. I didn't want to spend that much so started shopping online. This mattress compares to Tempurpedic for 1/3 the price! It also has a very nice cover on it. Shipping was fast and I had it on my frame the next day. I did not notice any smell from the foam. I seriously would recommend this mattress to anyone!
I recently decided to trade in my old traditional spring mattress for a memory foam. I was a little nervous at first, but after reading all the reviews I was convinced it was the way to go. I was having trouble sleeping throughout the night and would wake up feeling sore. After a couple of weeks with the Slumber Solutions 12" Memory Foam Mattress, I am sleeping more soundly, waking up less throughout the night and don't feel as sore when I get out of bed. The mattress is firm at first, but softens up after laying on it for a little while. My only complaint is that it does get very hot sometimes. I've heard that without the cooling gel that it is even worse. I've just learned to turn my heat down more and to sleep with one less blanket. The heat factor is the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars. Otherwise, I would recommend this mattress to anyone thinking of buying a memory foam!
I deperately needed a new mattress. I'd been using the same one for over 7 yrs (I know...horrible). I wanted a memory foam because it's best for side n back sleeping. I also wanted gel because i read that memory foam mattress run hot. I was so hesitant because there are so many mixed reviews. Everything from the way it smells, it's a lot firmer than I expected, the color is dark, etc. But I bit the bullet and bought this mattress. I have to say I'm pleased! I'm so happy with my mattress and the price is excellent to boot. It's right in the middle (may a little toward firm) as far as comfort. the brown band on the mattress isn't as dark as it appears on the website, which was a big concern for me as I like light colored sheets. The mattress took less than 72 hrs to reach maximum inflation and the smell was strong initially but, it either went away by day two or I simple no longer noticed it. And I did not leave windows open to air it out either. As a matter of fact I kept it in a closed room during the day because I didn't want my cat to think it was new bedding for her.
I spent MONTHS, nearly a year actually, researching mattresses, beginning with quality, price and reviews. I am frugal and wanted to get the most for my money. I decided on this mattress because I have had nothing but positive experiences with O.co in the past. So ... it is cold here in Michigan right now and the mattress arrived and it too was cold ... so it took a few hours to expand but the second night I slept on it. I slept okay but not great. The third night I invited my husband to join me ... My hubby and I have not slept together in over a year because he hated our mattress and couldn't get any sleep on it. He almost didn't wake to his alarm because he was sleeping so good. And now it has been over 2 weeks and I cannot believe how great I feel and sleep is awesome. The bed feels soft yet supports so perfectly. I realize each opinion is unique with each person, but my opinion is why spend huge money when you can be this happy with a bed at this price. I can buy 4 or 5 of these mattresses for the price of some of the "Name Brand" and have a new bed every few years ... although I don't think I will want or need one. My final word is LOVE ... I love this mattress!!! And so does my hubby!!
Mattress was really firmer than I would have thought but is still very comfortable to sleep on.
I had been shopping for a new mattress for many months and could not figure out what would be best for my back. I have scoliosis and can never seem to get comfortable when laying down. I usually toss and turn and then I finally fall asleep. I went to a local mattress store in town and tried out a ton of different beds and the memory foam mattresses seem to be the best fit. However, the brand name memory foam mattresses were around $XXXX dollars. I came on to Overstock and found this mattress for less than $XXX! The mattress arrived rolled up and vacuum sealed in plastic wrap. When I cut the wrap off it formed right into a mattress. There is a slight smell, but it just smells like a new item and it goes away after a couple of days. I left it in my guest room for 2 days or so randomly opening the windows and it was fine. I have been sleeping on this bed for over a week now and I love it! As soon as I lay on it I feel comfortable. I don't feel the need to keep adjusting until I find the right spot to fall asleep in. ALSO... I have two large cats that when they would jump on my old mattress it would wake me up. Now I do not even feel them moving around. This mattress is totally worth it.

Proposed patient fees for emergency room visits sparked concern among American Indian tribal representatives at a meeting with state Medicaid officials last week.
Such measures would create new barriers to American Indians' access to health care, several tribal officials said.
But patient co-pays are "just one idea" being considered by the Governor's Medicaid overhaul team, Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott said Monday.
If adopted, co-pays would be imposed on a sliding scale, he said.

Human Services Department (HSD) Cabinet Secretary Sidonie "Sidney" Squier got a skeptical reception at her meeting Wednesday with representatives from New Mexico Indian tribes, several of whom voiced concern that her agency's Medicaid overhaul would create new barriers to American Indians' access to health care.
HSD has contracted with Alicia Smith & Associates for $1.7 million to redesign the state's Medicaid health insurance program for people with low incomes or disabilities, and to prepare the state's application for a "global Medicaid waiver" that Squier said would allow HSD to run the program with less federal oversight and more flexibility.

The state Public Regulation Commission (PRC) voted 3-2 along party lines Thursday to cut the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM)'s negotiated $85 million electricity rate hike by $13 million. The company, which had originally sought a $165 million rate hike, had 'inflated' its costs, two state regulators said.
Republican commissioner Ben Hall said he would not vote for any rate increase because he felt PNM had misled the Commission.

As Margaret Thatcher in old age—confined to her home and afflicted with dementia—Meryl Streep turns senescence into poetry. Apart from the great Lear interpreters, Streep, in "The Iron Lady," has given us the best impression we've had of a potentate suffering from loss of power and fear of madness. The anxiety of forgetfulness crosses her brow in a flutter; she hesitates before speaking, and then, gathering her breath, pulls an imperative out of the cobwebs. Her eyes, darting around corners, tell us that Thatcher is still alert to any challenge to her authority. Despite Streep's eloquence and wit, however, "The Iron Lady" is seriously misconceived. It would be hard, no doubt, for any team of British filmmakers to deal with a figure as masterful, virulent, and divisive as Thatcher, but this bio-pic, written by Abi Morgan and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, is an oddly unsettled compound of glorification and malice. It whirls around restlessly and winds up nowhere. The movie is framed by—and a good forty per cent of it is taken up with—Thatcher meandering from one thing to another in her house, watching family videos, talking to her husband, Denis (Jim Broadbent), who has been dead for eight years. She is unable to sort out reality from hallucination, past from present, necessary tasks from unnecessary. Thatcher, the only woman to become Prime Minister of Britain, is a battler who changed the country's economy and its culture. She may have been wrong, and personally dislikable, even insufferable, but why undermine her in this way?
In part, the movie celebrates, in brief flashbacks, what was remarkable about Margaret Roberts, the daughter of a Lincolnshire grocer, who entered politics at twenty-four and faced down withering gender and class prejudice from the local Tory nabobs. Alexandra Roach, the actress who plays young Margaret, has a slight overbite and staring blue eyes that suggest an unnerving singleness of purpose. Even as Margaret accepts a marriage proposal from the charming Denis (Harry Lloyd), she's strenuous and awkward—but also intelligent and forthright. In the nineteen-seventies, she becomes a minister in the Cabinet of Edward Heath, and Streep takes over, turning Thatcher into a ruthless scourge of what she believes to be Conservative weakness. When she runs for Party leader, she allows her hair to be teased into a lofty blond arc, a sort of cotton-candy diadem. Her speech, with training, gets heavier and slower, the emphasis landing on selected, morally instructive syllables like a hammer hitting an anvil. The movie might have been titled "The Iron Voice." The clangorous insistence of it drives you crazy. Over and over, she says the same things: privatize industry, bust the trade unions, take responsibility for yourself. The filmmakers substitute personal assertion for politics, as if Thatcher's voice itself had altered the behavior of millions. It's impossible to tell how much of what she says is an accurate reading of the state of affairs and how much of it mere ideology—or how effective any of it was. Did her policies lead to the economic resurgence of the eighties? (No mention is made of North Sea oil.) In a particularly confused bit of sequencing, the filmmakers make it seem that Britain's enormous economic growth spurt was brought about by victory in the Falklands War, in 1982. How?
Morgan and Lloyd appear to object to everything about Thatcher except her early determination to stand up to men. But gumption turned into contempt, and it would have been interesting to see the stages. The directorial flourishes illustrating Thatcher's predominance come off as glibly sarcastic: the male ministers are shot from her point of view, circling around her and then backing away like livestock, or running after her, musical-comedy style, as she rushes through the halls of Parliament. Near the end, Streep, pressing even harder, underlines Thatcher's pleasure in humiliating her Cabinet. It's a tough, honest performance, yet Streep has lent herself to a project of revenge against the character she plays. When Margaret accepts Denis's proposal, she swears that she will not end her life washing a teacup. At the conclusion of the movie, she is standing at a sink, doing exactly that. This may pass for irony, but it's an impoverished and low-minded irony. Most of us will end up washing cups. But Margaret Thatcher smashed a lot of china before her piteous final chapter.
In Steven Spielberg's "War Horse," the British cavalry, swords drawn, charges out of a hayfield at daybreak, gallops across an open plain, and overruns a German field camp. It is 1914, in Quiévrechain, France, near the Belgian border. As Spielberg cuts back and forth between the armed British and the terrified Germans, we realize that he's re-created a famous scene, of Arab legions streaming into a Turkish encampment, from his favorite movie, "Lawrence of Arabia." But then triumph changes to something else—to the horror of a modern "Charge of the Light Brigade." German machine guns are waiting in the woods just behind the camp, and most of the cavalry, including the horses, gets cut down. The sequence mixes vainglory and tragedy, and it makes us think that Spielberg could have made a great First World War movie. "War Horse" has epic scenes of armies marching through damp woods and fighting in mucky trenches, yet it's essentially an animal story, or, to be more precise, a boy-meets-horse story.
In paradisal green Devon, a clean-limbed English youth, Albert (Jeremy Irvine), raises a bay colt he calls Joey. When his father sells Joey to a British officer, Albert enlists and searches for the horse in the slaughterhouse of France. The movie is a series of pictorially splendid set pieces, interlarded with broad rural and army comedy. Apart from the battle scenes, much of "War Horse" has the feeling of nineteen-fifties family entertainment—it's leisurely, hearty, sentimental, overexplicit. There are village rowdies and plainspoken women. There is a troublesome goose that nips at men's trousers. German soldiers as well as British try to protect Joey. We get the point: the concern for a wonderful animal partly redeems the carnage. But that idea is weakened by a huge, literal-minded production.

Summary of Death of a Hero Summary of Death of a Hero Reviews for Death of a Hero An Excerpt from Death of a Hero
One of the great World War I antiwar novels—honest, chilling, and brilliantly satirical
Based on the author's experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington's first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington's writing about Britain's ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward its astounding finish.
"[Death of a Hero] takes its place among the half dozen superb stories of the war that will not let men forget." — The Nation
"Death of a Hero is a book impossible to ignore." — Arnold Bennett
"This novel is an undervalued war novel treasure by a pioneering 20th-century literary figure. The quality of writing about the war should rank this novel among the classics about World War I warfare and even for all time." — James H. Meredith

3473 S 27th St, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5321542.981488 -87.948629
Neighborhoods: Southgate
I love this 24 hour restaurant. I think its great that they are open 24 hours even on holidays. They have very affordable maragritas and I love the breakfast. It's a great place to go after a late night concert. I found the staff to be very friendly and genuine.
Good food good owners but a hornets nest for illegal workers and fance jumpers....Not for long dedicated my life to stop that...
Disrespected greatly.. will not support ever again. – Never in my life have i ever received the disrespect and prejudice from any business. This restaurant use to be great, but since the change in ownership and management I will never go again and would not be righting this review. I have never had to speak to 2 levels of management only to be told that they encourage their workers to be rude if customers are questioning pricing. This is from the top manager! Not only did they tell me that they also told me and my people never to come back. This all came about because they were overcharging me, had them recalculate and I was right!!! No one should ever have to take this. Please reconsider giving them your business. I wish we can do a ZERO star rating because that is what they deserve. But I will have to do a 1 in order to post my grief.
Consistant quality – I have to this restaraunt dozens of times. By far is is the most consistant in quality and service. The prices have gone up, but I still prefer its fine food to others.
The encyclopedic menu includes big breakfasts 24 hours a day at this laidback south-side eatery. – The Scene
This mammoth Greek diner packs in the crowds all day and night, but particularly on weekend mornings. Arrive prior to 9am or you'll have to wait for a table. It's often quicker if you offer to sit in the smoking side, but be forewarned that the smoke can be over-powering, so it may be worth the extra few minutes to sit in non-smoking.
The Food
Pretty much everything here is heavy and served in massive quantities -- but that's a good thing. This is the kind of place where you can have a full breakfast, then not be hungry until late afternoon. The specialty omelettes are terrific, particularly the Greek, which is packed with gyro meat, feta cheese, tomatoes and onions. And order a muffin (either blueberry or cherry) to share while you wait. For lunch or dinner, keep on the Greek side of the menu and you won't be disappointed.
The BEST Hashbrowns and overall Breakfast around – My Father, Brothers and Myself have been going out for breakfast on Sundays for sometime now. We've tried many places in, around and out-of town including as far out as The Pinecone, (If you live in Wisconsin, You know the place). I've always said "Hey we should go to Paul's. You'll never want to go anywhere else for breakfast after you try them." Unfortunitely everytime we drove past and remembered that the parking lot is always full, we end up going somewhere else. Long story short; We finally decided to go there anyway, and found out that we waited longer to pay the check than get a seat, "Which was only about two or three minutes. "I've always raved about the hashbrowns and after my father ate there, he agrees that the hashbrowns are infact great, "And he's a chef for one of Milwaukee's private clubs, so he should know". Longer story short; Paul's Omega is my pick as Milwaukee's best spot for breakfast 24hours a day. Friendly waitstaff, HUGE portions for the price, and overall Great food. Don't plan on parking close to the entrance unless you get there early would be the only Con I could think of. My guess is that the bad revues have come from ex-employees. Then again I never tried the place before Paul took over so maybe the food was brought out on a golden platter with, "The only way it could be ANY better"
Great Place! – We were traveling from Austin, TX and really wanted a Gyro. I found their place on this site and we absolutely loved it!
Great food. The Gyro Plate included: Soup or Salad, Choice of Potato, More Gyro meat than any one human should eat, wine or beer AND desert. All of this for $10.99. We were shocked at how good it was and the price.
We would highly recommend this place and look forward to our next trip back to visit.
A good all around value – I really enjoy Paul's Omega. My husband and I dine there regularly. It has fantastic breakfast food especially.
The service is very fast- usually you have your food in a matter of minutes. They also have a large staff of servers taking care of water and coffee- if you are drinking either of these you won't run out!
Paul's also has a very large menu. From Greek traditional to American to breakfast food, Paul's has a lot to offer. They also give you a free drink and dessert with each dinner, which I would say averages about $8. I do not think that is a bad value. The portion sizes are very large, and I always get too much to eat!
I like Pauls, and I think it is worth a visit!
Paul's Omega – I agree with the previous review. Since Paul took it over the quality of the food has really depreciated. They raised the prices to almost match the better restaurants so why go to there and deal with screeming kids. If you want to have a nice meal, DO NOT GO TO PAUL'S OMEGA.
over rated – the food was better before Paul took it over.
The prices went up and food went down.
the service got slower.

Keep Kids Healthy This Fall
The fall season is an excellent opportunity to continue healthy habits and to explore new ways to be safe and healthy with your kids. The following simple steps will keep you and your kids healthy for the autumn season. Kids (and the rest of us) should wash hands for at least 20 seconds to avoid cold and flu.
- The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year. Children less than 6 months of age are too young to get vaccinated.
- Whether indoors or out, children and adolescents should get 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity each day, including aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening activities. Keep in mind that swinging, climbing, hopping, and somersaulting are developmental milestones for children five years of age.
- Check the safety of toys and other products. Make sure potential hazards don't live in your home, school, park, or another setting.
- Enjoy healthy fruits and veggies in season. Have an afternoon of food-tasting to try new foods and prepare some seasonal favorites differently.
- Check the safety of toys and other products your child may use. Make sure potential hazards don't live in your home, school, or park.
- Do as you say; you're their role model, after all. Take care of yourself and by keeping health and safety in mind.

Academics Gearoid Millar - Social Science Fellow
Gearoid Millar is committed to an interdisciplinary approach in both research and teaching. His doctoral work in conflict resolution at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs integrated various methods and theories from sociology, political science, anthropology and psychology. Gearoid's research interests focus on the intersection of local and global constructs of war, peace and justice in an inherently interdisciplinary methodology.
Teaching Philosophy
Gearoid says that "by bringing an interdisciplinary approach to methods and theory to teaching I broaden students' perspectives and encourage a greater range of critical thought in the classroom. This approach also lends itself well to a more participatory teaching method that requires students to engage with the material and tackle complex issues of global and historical importance." He feels that his own passion for breaking down the barriers between disciplines, as well as between theory and practice serves as a touchstone for even less theoretically oriented students.
Scholarly Activities
Gearoid's research has primarily involved post-war transitional justice, peacebuilding and development, and specifically the applicability of popular international models to socially and culturally diverse situations. He has worked for the past 6 years studying the transition from war to peace in Sierra Leone and hopes to apply the lessons from this case study to ongoing or recently terminated wars in other regions of the world. He is also interested in the role of non-state actors in social change, in developing interdisciplinary methods for the study of complex social problems, and in the unequal distribution of benefits from international peacebuilding and development projects.

FORT MYERS _ With some last-minute haggling, attorneys reached a compromise Tuesday on a plan that will keep Naples Bay Resort open and pay back its creditors.
About a dozen attorneys involved in the bankruptcy case spent more than an hour huddling outside of the courtroom in Fort Myers to resolve objections before presenting a final plan to the judge, who plans to approve it in an order that could be signed by the end of the week.
"It's a big step," remarked Diane Jensen, a Fort Myers attorney and trustee for the bankruptcy case, in court.
Under the plan, a Texas-based investor, EFO Financial Group, will provide a $7.1 million loan to get the resort out of bankruptcy. It's the same group that made a $4 million capital infusion nearly a year ago to keep the troubled resort from closing.
"It cleans up a lot of outstanding issues and also provides a clear direction for the employees of the resort," said Renzo Renzi, a manager for EFO.
That direction is that the struggling resort, with more than 100 employees, will remain open. The 20-acre project, near Tin City in Naples, includes 85 hotel rooms, 30 residences and 97 boat slips.
The confirmation hearing started nearly an hour late after the warring sides worked privately to tweak the plan to address various concerns, including the release of certain claims involving the project's feuding partners.
By the time the hearing got under way, most issues had been resolved, but another break was needed later to hammer out the final plan, which will put the resort in the hands of Naples developer Jack Antaramian, one of the partners in the project.
The bankruptcy case excludes parts of the project such as the clubhouse and its promenade of shops. The club is still entangled in a foreclosure case pending in state court.
The bankruptcy case has pitted Antaramian against his former friends and longtime business partners in Basil Street: Fred Pezeshkan, chairman of Manhattan Construction (Florida), and investors Raymond Sehayek and Iraj Zand, who live in Switzerland.
"From the perspective of the Naples Bay Resort, the outlook is certainly better than it has been in some time, now that we are past Jack suing his partners and the resort is going to be coming out of bankruptcy," said Miami attorney Robbie Landon, who represents Pezeshkan, Sehayek and Zand.
Separate from the plan, he said, he will seek more than $2 million in attorneys fees and other expenses for his clients.
Antaramian fought to collect on $45 million in loan guarantees his other partners made for the project, but U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Caryl Delano recently ruled against him after an eight-day trial in Tampa.
The judge, however, ruled that Antaramian could collect on the $36 million mortgage he took over for the project. Based on that ruling, the amount of his claim put Antaramian in a controlling position to block any competing plan to get the project out of bankruptcy.
In his plan, Antaramian promises not to receive any distributions on his unsecured claim until the other unsecured creditors are "paid in full."
"That is the right thing for him to do," Landon said.
Read related story
Delano described the hearing as anticlimactic after so many objections were filed to the plan. With a few changes in the plan's language, all sides were able to come to an agreement.
The plan includes paying Benchmark Hospitality, the resort's management company, a little over $1 million from the proceeds of the loan, which was part of the compromise.
The loan also will cover the trustee's costs, pay the Collier County Tax Collector and refinance the earlier loan from an EFO affiliate.
Under the plan, the resort will be sold to Antaramian Properties, which will pay back the loan.
Once the plan is confirmed by the judge, there will 14 days to appeal her order.
If all goes as planned, a closing on the sale of the resort is expected by late March.

My business has been asking this question ever since this nifty little thing called the Internet came along. There still isn't a good answer.
Some news outlets are trying at least one answer: charge a fee to read their news online. A few newspapers have charged Internet user fees for a long time, including the large Wall Street Journal and small Lewiston Tribune, an Idaho paper owned by one of the three men who own the Daily Sparks Tribune. Many newspapers give their content away free online, either because they want to or because they always have and believe it is too late to change. Some newspapers, however, are changing horses midstream. Gannett, the largest newspaper company in the nation, announced in February that all its publications except national hotel pillow sham USA Today would be switching to paid websites. The wave of change hit northern Nevada this week, when the Reno Gazette-Journal posted on its website that the time had come to start charging for full access; freebies would be limited within a 30-day period.
My initial thought was that this is the Tribune's chance to pick up a lot more online readers. I know that when I am confronted with a paywall at a website, my first steps do not include actually getting out my credit card. I try to find a way around the wall or look for a new source of the same information.
As a guest this week on Eddie Floyd's "Nevada Matters" radio show, I was asked if the Tribune would ever move this direction with its website. My response: "No," but I'd be lying if I said the idea hadn't been kicked around the Tribune's building. Until about three years ago, the Tribune's website was bare bones. It lacked the ability and quality to ask people pay to read it. Even today, when our website is a bit more polished, we still feel there is not a reliable model for charging for online content.
But there is more to it than that. For us, the free website is a good way to give people a taste of what we offer. We have a lot of news and photographs on the web, but readers who still want a crossword puzzle, comics, all the ads or the other little things still need to pick up our paper copy. In short, it is kind of a promotional tool.
The timing of the RGJ's announcement is somewhat opportune for us, as we're getting close to rolling out a new design to our website. The organization and presentation will be better, so I hope you'll check it out. We don't have a firm date yet, but it should be in the next few months. I'll let you know.
As a journalist who came up in this business at the same time as the Internet, I don't fear the new medium. It is a change, to be sure, but not one I see as threatening. As a child, I grew up reading the San Francisco Chronicle (I read the Sporting Green when the green ink was dominant on the page) and our little hometown Times-Standard in Eureka, Calif. When I moved south, I read the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times. All of those papers were actually on paper, either delivered to my door or acquired from a newsstand. When I went to college, we began talking about this new computer stuff that was going to change everything. It came along so fast I hardly noticed it, and by the time I graduated it was routine to have my work posted online. It also wasn't long before my Sunday ritual of unwrapping the paper and thumbing through pages over coffee was changed to clicking through news with my mouse as I drank my morning Joe. It has been like watching an evolution of man occur within my own lifetime.
But the fundamentals — the gathering and consuming of news — hasn't changed. That's why I find it so surprising to be asked constantly about the future of newspapers. I got asked the question on "Nevada Matters" and by a University of Nevada, Reno journalism student a few weeks ago. Both times I responded by saying that the "paper" part of "newspapers" might one day go away, but the "news" part won't go away. There always will be a demand for information, and someone will need to put it together and distribute it. As long as there is demand, someone will find a way to pay for it and make money from it. Organizations all the way from The New York Times to the Sparks Tribune have had to adapt and still are adapting to the new ways of finding the news.
What will it all look like in the end? I have no idea, but either way I and many other people will still need something to read with our coffee.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to work on Sunday's paper: print first, then post it online.
Nathan Orme is the editor of the Sparks Tribune. He can be reached at email@example.com.

It will do the job, but... There is an oddly placed seam in the fabric, which is visible to me when I tie the ribbon as shown in the picture. One might expect a product like this to be seamless, at this on the front. I will say, from a distance it can't be seen, but it bugs me that I can see it. April 27, 2013
Nice material, but...... I bought this sash in ivory for my wedding dress. The color is perfect and the material is very nice. However, when I received the sash the width was so uneven it was a bit ridiculous. It is supposed to start more narrow all around the waist and gradually get wider but it was narrow on one side of my body, wider on the other. To even it out in the front, the tails in the back hung very uneven (one was to the floor and the other half way down my legs). It looked awful when I initially tried it on. Thankfully my mother-in-law to be is a good seamstress and will be able to split the seam and even it out. January 12, 2013
Adds color I purchased this sash in truffle to go with my wedding dress and to match my colors. It is so pretty and made of great material. I'm so short that the sash actually touches the floor in the back, but that's what I was looking for anyway. I didn't tie mine; I purchased a crystal pin and just crossed the sash and pinned it to add some character. I love this sash and I would recommend for anyone looking to add something extra special to their gown! November 14, 2012
