Location the gym bag away from your bed by your alarm system clock so you need to get out of bed as well as see the bag to remind yourself to go to the health club.

Additionally, the bodice won't enable the core muscles to develop, the extremely muscular tissues you need for a trim and also slim waist. The distinctions in between a jolly widow and a bodice are a lot more refined compared to between those of a bodice as well as a bustier yet here's the offer.
I was not delighted regarding this, but this could be assisted some w/ a girdle of your option as your liner, or under your lining functions too, however I would certainly not suggest doing that promptly however instead break in the corset a while 1st and also obtain utilized to it, and put on skirts that do not cling to that location, or a control top pantyhose will certainly assist some, or even some jeans will certainly hold it back some too. Generally it concerns self monitoring as well as policy of where you establish the corset over the course of a day. She is currently within 1 ″ of completely shutting her training corset to a 27 ″ (over bodice) dimension!
Figured out to push via however, I split on, placing the midsection fitness instructor on the minute I got out of bed, thinking that the even more time I was able to wear it while standing, the simpler the entire procedure would be. So, by the time I made it to the office, I was already one and also a half hr in. Hurrah. S(Bust:81 -86 cmWaist:64 -70 cmHip:86 -91 centimeters) M(Bust:86 -91 cmWaist:70 -75 cmHip:90 -96 cm) L(Bust:91 -96 cmWaist:75 -80 cmHip:96 -101 cm) XL(Bust:96 -101 cmWaist80-85cmHip:101 -106 centimeters) XXL(Bust:101 -106 cmWaist:86 -90 cmHip:106 -111 centimeters) Consists of: Leading Corset + G-String Textile Type: Satin Material: Spandex Control Level: Medium Shapewear: Tops This corset is shoelace up at the back, it could be modifiable. It was often asserted that as well tiny a waist was unsightly as opposed to lovely.
There are waist trainers available available with zipper closures ... not the most effective suggestion. Bodices minimize the waist by pressing the waist, yet likewise easily sustaining the ribs and hips. For some females these bodices are
but for a few other they actually enjoy seeing the results and also do not mind the hassle of the bodice. We recommend that you integrate Midsection Educating with a balanced diet plan and drink a lot of water to keep you moistened. Make use of a tape policy to recognize your waistline measurement, under bust size and your upper hip dimension to allow our professionals best offer you!
In spite of my positive outlook however, cleaning in the waistline trainer is really rather tricky. We would certainly always suggest to our clients that they verify with their General Practitioner before beginning a period of wearing the waistline training corset, simply to ensure. I recommend awaiting an off day to use your corset for 2-3 hours each time prior to leaping all the way to 8. If you take deep breaths your chest normally increases but the top of the bodice gets on the bottom of your chest and so you could feel a little bit constricted.. When picking a waist training bodice, it's likewise important to consider how long of an upper body you have.
Corsets similar to this will not give any actual reduction to your waistline, and also you are unlikely to obtain any kind of lasting midsection training results. Regretfully, it wasn't to be. And also I'm sorry to state that the midsection fitness instructor will possibly be resigned to a spot at the extremely back of my storage room, alongside those too-high heels that I purchased on an impulse that time because I thought they made my legs look longer. Bodice training per se does not remove fat cells," claimed Dr. Andrew Miller, a cosmetic surgeon of Associates in Plastic Surgery in New York as well as New Jacket to CNN. This is in some cases lowered even additionally by designs of bodice that require the torso to taper in the direction of the midsection, which presses the lower ribs inwards. Prior to putting on the bodice, see to it you place on a camisole or a bodice liner.
One of them has worked as a personal instructor, one more one does CrossFit and also runs marathons, and also a number of these individuals have been skilled professional athletes for years, some even prior to ending up being curious about corsetry - so I rely on that they understand what they're doing as well as how to read themselves if they are identified to work out in a bodice. You might need to switch over up the moment you wear the trainer or you may need to try a different sort of midsection shaper. The corset made use of by Kim Kardashian is a mix of both; it assists her exercise at the very same time as boosting her core security by supplying extra assistance.
Non-working ladies- although that Bourgeois would have much unhealthier consuming behaviors than the functioning course with higher quantity and much fatter food - wearing a corset would not permit a stomach to be loaded past a certain amount, hence limiting the food intake, and then the body dimension. Kim Kardashian corsets have achieved the lion's share of the interest, though both as a result of her celebrity status and also because it is so difficult for people to comprehend just how she has such a slim midsection on a physical body with such sexy contours. How hard is it making a truly well made, supportive corset if you have actually never done it prior to but have plenty of stitching encounter. Cathie Jung has the littlest waistline on the planet, of which she achieved by waistline training with bodices.
There are some women who begin waistline training and after that in 2 weeks question why they typically aren't seeing any kind of results yet. Corset Connection Blog site and does not in any way proponent for anyone to endanger their health and wellness or safety with our products, or any person else's items. Requiring a bodice to lace-up with your first wearing can destroy the bodice (not to mention YOU). Changing the method which you take a breath, from the organic low location of the diaphragm to high in the breast is essential to living as well as resting well in the corset. Now that I'm back in the workplace, each time I sit at my workdesk, the waistline instructor goes into my back, forcing me to sit ramrod straight, something a longtime sloucher like myself is not made use of to at all.

In spite of Lovecraft's unquestionable influence on the genre, few filmmakers have been able to accurately or faithfully translate the writer's works to either the small or large screen. At best, most attempts to adapt Lovecraft either vaguely evoke the nihilistic subtext of the author's work (e.g., Stuart Gordon's 1985 classic RE-ANIMATOR) or pay simple homage by making a reference or two (as Raimi does by building his EVIL DEAD stories around Lovecraft's ubiquitous fictional book of the occult, the Necronomicon). Until now, that is. Under the guidance of director Andrew Leman and screenwriter Sean Branney, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has filmed and released a little film entitled THE CALL OF CTHULHU (2005), based on the author's story of the same name. And it is being praised by critics and fans alike as being one of the most faithful Lovecraft cinematic adaptations ever.
The film follows the three-part narrative construction of Lovecraft's original story, using flashbacks and similar devices to shift back and forth to various time frames. The story centers on a young man who has inherited his late great-uncle's research documents pertaining to the Cthulhu Cult.Read more ›
The Call of Cthulhu faithfully recreates the look of 1920s silent films complete with a slightly scratchy, artifact-laden print. The rich, black and white cinematography (filmed in Mythoscope no less) of David Robertson is fantastic. It has a texture to it that looks just as good as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow's retro-sepia tone look but for a fraction of the budget and with no CGI anywhere to be found. The cinematography also gives the movie the atmosphere and mood of a classic horror film and creates believable and very authentic feelings of dread.
The special visual effects by Dan Novy - especially the dream sequences - are well done and totally believable within the context of the movie. A trip to a foreboding, unearthly land is something right out of Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with a dash of Ray Harryhausen for good measure. There are a few moments where the effects take on a slightly fake quality but it only adds to the charm of the movie. In this day and age it is so refreshing to see a film that does not rely on CGI but opts for real, tangible effects that are still as effective as ever.Read more ›
In 'The Call of Cthulhu' we finally have an honest and trustworthy attempt to capture the true indescrible horror and nature of Lovecraft's work. Leave it to his true fans, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society to do what the large Hollywood studios have refused, or been afraid to do. It is filmed in old-fashioned silent movie fashion, which is not only perfect for the time period being depicted, but also perfectly done. There is a haunting, dream-like quality to this film that is absolutely mesmerizing. One is ultimately left to ponder whether the images being viewed are on the television screen or within the inner recesses of your mind. Truly a one-of-a-kind production!
Let's be honest, the horrific images and happenings that Lovecraft's writings inspire could never be matched on film. The human imagination will always be far superior to the images that can be provided on celloid. This film made in old fashioned silent film format comes as close as anything I have seen so far. I still hold out the hope that sometime in the near future a large studio with a big budget and an inspired director will do justice to this tale like Peter Jackson did with 'Lord of the Rings.' But until then, this is the consumate work!
My Highest Recommendation!

Seed collectors
The seed collectors gather seed for the Cranbourne Gardens seed stock and for the Growing Friends nursery.
Seed collecting over the last few years has involved a range of activities:
- Reconnaissance walks to identify what is ready or close to maturity for collecting.
- Collection from a wide range of sites in the Cranbourne bushland.
- Processing of material collected.
- Documenting what we have collected.
The seed collected is used by the Growing Friends and by the Gardens for regeneration of the bushland. All processed seed is entered on the Cranbourne Gardens seed database.
When we meet
The peak time for this group is November to March. Most of the sessions for the group are on weekends and go for about 2 to 3 hours. Thursday is also a convenient day to meet; some of us are also part of the Thursday Growing Friends group.
We are a small group. New members would be most welcome. Most of our communication is via email, so if you are interested in joining the seed-collecting group please contact Richenda Harrison:
E email@example.com
We have enjoyed monthly sessions with Di Clark or Broni Swartz up to Christmas 2015, but after discussing the future with Di it is clear that with more recent reductions in staffing it is impossible for them to work with us for the time being.
Therefore, sadly, the group will now be in recess until later in the year, but we hope to resume next season. We would like to thank Di and Broni for their friendship, help and enthusiasm and look forward with great pleasure to working with them at a later date.

"Two-way" mailer envelopes exist in various forms. Often, the addressee must carefully follow a prescribed sequence of steps in order to open the envelope without damaging it to such an extent that it cannot be reused to mail material to another party. Typically, two-way mailer envelopes must be reassembled by the addressee performing a sequence of steps to reconfigure the envelope for reuse after it has been opened. These factors tend to discourage reuse of two-way mailer envelopes. Such reuse is desirable not only from an environmental conservation standpoint, but also because, by utilizing a two-way mailer envelope which the addressee can easily reuse, the party contacting the addressee may ensure more rapid receipt of return correspondence. This can be particularly important if the return correspondence is in the form of payment of a bill enclosed in the two-way mailer envelope originally delivered to the addressee.
The present invention provides an easy-to-use two-way mailer envelope which addresses the foregoing concerns.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the invention provides an envelope having front and rear faces which are joined to form a pocket defined by an opening between respective upper edges of the front and rear faces. A flap is joined to the upper edge of the front face and may be folded to overlap a portion of the rear face. A line of weakness extends across the flap. Adhesive may be pre-applied to the envelope or may be applied by automatic mailing machinery. The adhesive is applied to initially seal the envelope by fixing the flap to the rear face and to provide for later re-sealing of the envelope for re-mailing thereof. The addressee opens the envelope by tearing the flap along the line of weakness. The opened envelope can then be reused, with a portion of the adhesive being used to again fix the flap to the rear face.
In some embodiments, a non-adhesive gap may overlie the line of weakness and separate the adhesive region into first and second adhesive zones, although this is not essential. This assists in preventing migration of an adhesive-wetting agent, such as water, between the two adhesive zones.
Advantageously, a means is provided to assist in tearing the flap along the line of weakness. For example, at least one notch may be provided in the flap at one end of the line of weakness; or, notches may be provided in the flap at both ends of the line of weakness. Alternatively, a tear strip may be embedded in the flap to extend along the line of weakness. As a further alternative, a second line of weakness extending across the adhesive region may be provided.
In some embodiments a removable label may be adhered to the envelope's rear face. The label is of a size and is positioned to receive return address bar code indicia applied by mail handling apparatus.
In some embodiments an address aperture may be provided in the envelop's front face, with a transparent, water-soluble membrane such as poly-vinyl-alcohol fixed to an inner portion of the front face and overlying the aperture.
FIG. 1A illustrates a basic embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1B shows the FIG. 1A envelope after it is closed for delivery to an addressee. FIG. 1C shows the FIG. 1B envelope after it has been opened by the addressee. FIG. 1D shows the FIG. 1C envelope after it has been resealed for reuse by the addressee.

FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional side view taken with respect to line 17--17 of FIG. 15.
FIG. 1A depicts a basic embodiment of the invention comprising envelope 10 having a front face 12 and a rear face 14. Front and rear faces 12, 14 are joined along their bottom and side edges to create a pocket defined by an opening which extends between the respective upper edges of front and rear faces 12, 14. A flap 16 is joined to front face 12 along fold 18 such that flap 16 may be folded to overlap a portion of rear face 14. An adhesive region 20 is provided on the inner face of flap 16, with line of weakness 22 extending through adhesive region 20.
In operation, the original user of envelope 10 employs only that portion of adhesive region 20 lying above line of weakness 22 (as viewed in FIG. 1A) to attach flap 16 to rear face 14 in order to seal the envelope into the form shown in FIG. 1B for delivery to the addressee. As best seen in FIG. 3, the addressee opens envelope 10 by tearing along line of weakness 22. This leaves a first portion 16A of flap 16 adhered to rear face 14 while freeing an adhesive-bearing portion 16B of flap 16 as best seen in FIG. 1C. After removing the mailed material from envelope 10 the addressee may reuse the envelope by inserting mailing material thereinto and reseal the envelope by means of the adhesive remaining on flap portion 16B in order to attach flap portion 16B to rear face 14 to yield the resealed configuration seen in FIG. 1D.
Automatic mailing machinery is commonly employed to seal envelopes. Such machinery can be adjusted to control the application of an adhesive wetting agent (such as water) to a desired part of adhesive portion 20. However, it may in some cases be desirable to prevent possible migration of adhesive wetting agent across line of weakness 22 in order to prevent inadvertent affixation of both of flap portions 16A and 16B to rear face 14 when envelope 10 is first used. This can be achieved by providing a non-adhesive gap 24 (FIG. 7A) to overlie line of weakness 22 and separate adhesive region 20 into first and second adhesive zones 20A and 20B.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate an embodiment of the invention in which flap 16 has a tab portion 16C of reduced width compared to flap 16 and envelope 10. This in turn reduces the length of line of weakness 22. Consequently, the addressee need only maintain the tearing operation over a reduced interval, thus reducing the possibility of uneven tearing which could damage flap 16 and prevent reuse of the envelope.
FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate an embodiment somewhat similar to that of FIGS. 4A-4B, but employing a somewhat different configuration of flap 16.
Although most people should have little difficulty opening the envelope by tearing along line of weakness 22 it may in some cases be desirable to provide some assistance in "starting" the tearing operation. This can be achieved in various ways. For example, at least one notch 26 (FIGS. 4A-4B, 5A-5B) may be provided in the envelope closure flap at one end of the line of weakness. Notch 26 serves as an insertion point for a finger, letter opener, pen or other device and focuses the tearing operation on the line of weakness to minimize potential damage to the closure flap which might prevent reuse of envelope 10.
As another alternative, a tear strip 28 (FIG. 7A) can be embedded in flap 16 to extend along line of weakness 22. A free end 30 of tear strip 28 may be grasped by the user and pulled to tear cleanly along line of weakness 22, thus minimizing potential damage to flap 16 and preserving the envelope for reuse as aforesaid.
FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate yet another alternative in which first and second lines of weakness 22A, 22B extend across adhesive region 20. Flap 16 may be configured as shown to define notches 32, 34 at the opposed ends of each of lines of weakness 22A, 22B and defining tab portions 36 therebetween. The addressee grasps either one of tab portions 36 and pulls to simultaneously tear along both of lines of weakness 22A, 22B. This operation removes a portion 16D which the addressee discards, while flap portions 16A and 16B (FIG. 6B) remain as aforesaid.
FIG. 2 depicts the front face 12 of envelope 10 and shows regions A' and B' which are respectively used by the original mailer and by the addressee to affix appropriate postage. FIG. 2 also shows the provision of an address aperture 38 in front face 12. A transparent, water-soluble membrane 40 such as poly-vinyl-alcohol material is fixed to an inner portion of front face 12 beneath aperture 38 to create a transparent "window" through which an address imprinted on mailing material inserted into envelope 10 is visible. The advantage of using a water-soluble material such as poly-vinyl-alcohol is that envelope 10 then becomes fully recyclable. Prior art "window" envelopes have employed other types of film materials which cannot conveniently be recycled, thus preventing recycling of such prior art envelopes.
FIGS. 7A and 7B depict the affixation, to the envelope's rear face 14, of removable label 42. Label 42 is of a size and is located in a position on rear face 14 corresponding to that at which mail handling apparatus may apply postal bar code indicia 44. Conventionally, bar code indicia 44 is applied during the initial processing of envelope 10 before it is delivered to the addressee. Bar code indicia 44 is machine-readable and defines the addressee's address. To prevent disruption of the mail handling process, bar code indicia 44 is preferably removed from envelope 10 before it is reused by the addressee. This is accomplished by the addressee peeling label 42 off rear face 14 and discarding the label before reusing the envelope. In some cases label 42 may be applied to the envelope's front face 12; or, labels may be applied to both the front and rear faces, depending upon the bar coding methods adopted by the postal authorities in the particular jurisdiction.
In some cases it will be convenient to manufacture envelopes without pre-applying any adhesive thereto, as depicted in FIG. 8. Such envelopes may then be used with automatic mailing machinery having a built-in adhesive applicator. Such machinery could, for example, be configured to apply a dry, pressure-sensitive adhesive 46 covered by a removable strip 48 to the envelope's rear face 14; and, to also apply a wet adhesive to the upper portion 16A of flap 16. The machinery then folds flap 16 over onto rear face 14 such that the wet adhesive seals the envelope. The addressee opens the envelope by tearing along line of weakness 22, leaving flap portion 16A adhered to rear face 14, freeing flap portion 16B, and exposing cover strip 48. The cover strip is then peeled away to expose pressure-sensitive adhesive 46, which reseals the envelope when flap portion 16B is folded over against adhesive 46.
As depicted in FIG. 9, flap 16 need not be joined to front face 12 along one of its long sides, but may instead be joined along one of the shorter side edges to provide an end-opening envelope.
As depicted in FIG. 10, parties using large quantities of envelopes may pre-print their return address 50 on the envelope's front face 12 and use automatic mailing machinery to apply a removable label 52 atop return address 50. The addressee's address is printed on label 52, either before or after label 52 is applied atop return address 50. The addressee removes and discards label 52 to expose return address 50, and then reuses the envelope to return material (such as a payment) to the original sender.
If adhesive is pre-applied to the envelope, the adhesive need not be confined to flap 16, but may instead be confined to rear face 14, or may alternatively be partially on flap 16 and partially on rear face 14. For example, FIG. 11 shows adhesive regions 20A, 20B applied to rear face 14, with no adhesive applied to flap 16. The lower adhesive region 20B is initially used to seal flap 16 to rear face 14. The addressee opens the envelope by tearing along line of weakness 22, leaving flap portion 16A adhered to rear face 14 atop adhesive region 20B. This frees flap portion 16B and exposes upper adhesive region 20A which can then be used to seal flap portion 16B to rear face 14 for reuse of the envelope. If desired, a non-adhesive gap 24 may separate adhesive regions 20A, 20B to prevent migration of adhesive wetting agent from region 20B into region 20A in order to prevent inadvertent affixation of both of flap portions 16A, 16B to rear face 14 when the envelope is first used. FIG. 12 shows adhesive region 20B applied to flap portion 16A for initial closure or the envelope in its first use, and shows adhesive region 20A applied to rear face 14 for registry with flap portion 16B in reclosing the envelope for reuse. Given the foregoing description, different combinations of placement of the adhesive regions will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
As depicted in FIG. 13, a second, removable flap 54 may be joined to the upper edge of rear face 14. Flap 54 is initially inserted into the envelope behind a first enclosure 58 such as a utility bill bearing an outgoing address 49 visible through window 38. The addressee opens the envelope by tearing along line of weakness 22 as previously described and withdraws enclosure 58. The addressee may also extract flap 54 from the envelope, as seen in FIG. 14. If desired, the addressee may remove flap 54 by tearing along optional line of weakness 56. Alternatively, the addressee may re-insert a portion 58A (FIG. 17) of first enclosure 58 (such as a payment stub) and a second enclosure 60 (such as a payment) into the envelope and then re-insert flap 54 so that it lies in front of portion 58A and second enclosure 60. This ensures that return address 50 pre-printed within the exposed window area 38A of flap 54 registers with window 38, with the return address 50 clearly visible through window 38.
As will be apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of the foregoing disclosure, many alterations and modifications are possible in the practice of this invention without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. For example, in any embodiment of the invention, flap 16 could be joined to the envelope's rear face, instead of being joined to its front face. In such case the envelope is closed by folding flap 16 over and sealing it to the front face. Postage, address information, etc. could be applied to flap 16, or to portions thereof, if desired. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is to be construed in accordance with the substance defined by the following claims.

Kyrgyzstan Probes Ousted Leader's Son on Pentagon Fuel Contract
Kyrgyz prosecutors are investigating contracts received by Maxim Bakiyev, son of ousted President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, to deliver jet fuel to a U.S. air base used to supply forces in Afghanistan.
Under the contracts, Maxim Bakiyev delivered more than 1.8 million metric tons of fuel to the Manas airbase near the capital Bishkek, Farid Niyazov, a spokesman for the interim government, said by telephone today.
"Investigators have questions regarding fuel contracts given by the Pentagon," Niyazov said. "There have always been rumors of corruption. As soon as the new government took power, prosecutors opened a probe."
The Manas base, established in 2001, gained additional strategic importance when Uzbekistan closed a similar base on its territory in 2005.
The probe in Kyrgyzstan comes as the U.S. Congress carries out its own investigation, Niyazov said. He declined to elaborate.

We live in Wa State... I bought these boots for him.
My husband works at the airport oudoors loading and unloading freight. He says these boots worked out great. Waterproof and very comfortable, the price is a big plus too. When he's happy, I'm happy!
I've always preferred Redwing boots, until I tried these. These are the most comfortable boots I've ever had, and yet only cost a fraction of the price. Plus they are waterproof and keep my feet warm.
I though this product is stainless steel toe which is good for hard work job, but it's ok cause it is stylish and fit in me. Still be use for medium jobs. The price is just right.
They are just what I needed. I wanted a boot that was fit for the winter, waterproof, and to keep my feet warm. They fit all three.
I work outside sometimes for 4 to 8 hours in the rain. These shoes are comfortable yet what I am finding out about all the so called waterproof items sold at Walmart they are not waterproof. After one or two downpours these shoes will keep the water out. After that the shoes will keep the water out for about an hour. Once these shoes are worn they let the water in. The coldest weather I have worn these shoes in with just a pair of regular socks is about 40°. I was very impressed as terrible as they are keeping the water out my socks were damp due to my feet sweating. It is possible to wear these shoes down into the 20's or teens with a thicker pair of socks and you would probably be fine. I walk on concrete and asphalt and the shoes will last about 3 to 6 months with daily use. If you just use them on light rain days you could get up to a year out of them. You will have to change the insert for better comfort I would suggest Dr. Scholls work memory foam. My feet are 11.5 wide and I had to purchase a size 13. The shoes are lightweight and provide decent protection against bumps/impact but, I will not purchase another pair of these shoes.
I have had the same pair of these boots for 4 years and wear them 6 days a week at work as an custodian and walk up to 12 miles a day and these boots have taken everything dished out, they keep my feet dry,(big plus in my job) and they have worn well. I will be buying a new pair of these boots friday. If you are looking for an excellent, comfortable, tough pair of work boots, buy these,you wont be dissapointed.
That's why we purchased the boots, just for yard work. Perfect.
I have had these boots for over a year, they are finally showing signs of needing new ones, but I can't find them in stock for my size...will keep searching stores. I have a very wide foot and they fit like a glove the first time I tried them on at the store. I use them for everything from walking the dogs (about a mile a day) in the woods behind the house and up and down hilly steep slopes, they grip very good. I also ride my motorcycle with them. They are flexible enough to go under the gear shifter without being bulky and hinder the feel of the toe on the shifter (I have the shifter black mark to prove it). I also use them for cutting grass, good solid grip and overall protection. But most of all I feel like John Locke when I wear them with cargo short pants while hiking. ;-)
Purchased these primarily for geocaching on the muddy trails. These boots are comfortable, and my feet were completely dry after a full day of hiking. I would definitely recommend these boots especially for the price. HOWEVER, I paid more at the store ($34) vs. online cost of $21 but still worth the extra bucks especailly since half sizes are not available online and I needed the the half size.
Decent boot - not as good as previous models I've bought from Wal-Mart. Runs quite wide. Comfortable, but not very supportive. A bargain at $21.00.
I have bought many pairs of Brahma boots from walmart for work. They are not waterproof, or even water resistant. Every pair has left me with soaked feet after just a few minutes. I have even silicone sprayed them heavily, and they soak water like a sponge. A pair last me just about two months...then the soles fall off. You get what you pay for, and i am done buying this brand. I work where it is wet, and I am going back to buying the cheap rubber construction just under the knee boots. Steal toe of course.....Construction requires that.
I work in masonry, and today (first day with boots) I was running and jumping on rocks all day, covering my boots in mud, mortar, and constantly spraying them off with a pretty high pressure hose. Socks stayed dry :). My feet stayed pretty warm, not snowboot warm though. If you tie the laces tight at the top it supports your ankle well. I will buy a Dr. Scholls insert to further cushion the sole, but the stock ones are good. Over all, for under $40 it's a cool boot, not too heavy not too light, waterproof and look nice. Feel good after a full days work. Let's just see if they hold up! Get em, best boot at Walmart for waterproof work needs.
I don't know if they are waterproof...we don't get much rain in Albuquerque. The color is slightly lighter than shown in the picture. To me they are a bit hard to pull on...the laces have to loosened then re-tightened. To me they are a good fit (size 10).
These boots are just terrific and the price is exceptional. I wear these boot as casuals to just mix it up but they'd make a great work boot. The color is right on and I love the style. The only drawback is if you are looking for a steel toe it's not going to cut it. I'd buy them all over again Great deal as usual from Wallmart.
I guess for how cheap they are they are a little bit of a value, but i bought these shoes and they didnt even last me one day. I work at a semi truck wash and these shoes are NOT!!!! waterproof.. they were drenched within the first hour of wearing them. i would not ever buy this brand of shoe again. nor do i plan on ever buying my work shoes from walmart again.. not satisfied at all here...
didnt hold up very well.I use to buy this boot every 3 months until i tried the Big Timber 2 which held up so far for a year.
I bought two pairs over the past year and they both fell apart witin 6 months. I would not buy this brand anymore.
I bought these and within 2 weeks, the soles were nonexistent.
I loved the style and price for these boots. But my husband wars a 10 and a half shoe size, so we decided to try an 11 since there were not half sizes available. The boots were way too big on him! Like excessively large. We took them back to our walmart store and they didn't have anything of the same value that we wanted to exchange them for, so rather than deal with the hassle of mailing them back we just took a refund and bought ome somewhere else. It was very disappointing because we both loved the boots and thought it was such a great deal, but the size was just not right.
not worth buying.

almiaris posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHello to all... Yesterday I came across a very strange issue. All of the pink water which exists into the tank near the water for wipers did not exist anymore!! Tomorrow I have an appointment with my mechanic in order to see what the problem is. Does anyone happens to know what might it be?? Should I have a big issue to face?

You can change the dimensions of the default cube object by selecting the menu option File→New lattice (Figure 2). You can set how many balls will be drawn in each of the three dimensions. You also can change the smoothness factor when the object is rendered on the display. In this case, it will look like what is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 2. Setting the Number of Vertices in Your Object
Figure 3. Altering the Smoothness of the Rendering
You also have the option of loading your own 3-D object, either in 3D Studio format (*.3DS or *.PRJ) or in LightWave format (*.LWO). This new object is what will be rendered, and the optical effects will be applied to this. You can save a snapshot of a particular object at a particular speed in either PNG or TIFF format. You also can export to an SRS file format (Special Relativity Scene). This is a format used by the program BACKLIGHT, which is a specialized raytracer used to illustrate relativistic effects. This lets you generate much higher resolution images of the affected object.
In the Objects menu item, there are options for drawing supplementary objects. By default, the floating grid is selected. You also can select coordinate axes, identifying the x, y and z axes. You can select the display of a bounding box for your object as well (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Displaying Axes and a Bounding Box around Your Object
Additionally, you can animate the scene by selecting Objects→Animation in the menu. This pops up a dialog box where you can select the starting and ending points on the x axis and the loop time in seconds (Figure 5). The scene then will be animated until you click stop.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers operates under the theory that you don't want to get into a playoff series in which the other team has the best player on the floor. Considering he's touted the New York Knicks tandem of Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire as among the NBA's elite, Rivers concedes that New York is not the ideal first-round draw (if such a thing exists).
Rivers wouldn't bite when asked if the Knicks are a "dangerous" team, dismissing the suggestion by saying that he wouldn't get involved in wordplay and noting that some might dub his own team "dangerous." But Rivers knows from experience just how threatening an opponent with elite scorers can be.
"I almost won a series in Orlando with one guy named Tracy McGrady," Rivers said.
He's referring to the 2002-03 season when McGrady, who collected the NBA scoring title while averaging 32.1 points per game and guided the Orlando Magic to 42 wins and the eight seed in the Eastern Conference, saved some of his finest offensive outbursts for the postseason.
In Game 1 of an opening-round series against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, McGrady erupted for 43 points on 15-of-28 shooting, almost single-handedly carrying Orlando to a 99-94 road triumph on the road.
McGrady dropped 46 points in a losing effort the next night, but two more big efforts in Games 3 and 4 staked upstart Orlando to a 3-1 series lead. Detroit rallied back with three straight wins to escape with the series.
"For five games, [McGrady] was the best player in the world," Rivers said. "He wasn't for [Games] 6 or 7, but for those first five, he was amazing. You look at the rosters and we had no chance in that series. All of a sudden, we're up. When you have great players, especially that can score, it makes it a tough series."
Anthony (third in the league at 25.6 points per game) and Stoudemire (fifth, 25.4 ppg) were among the league's top scorers this season. If the Knicks hope to have any Magic-like magic against Boston, they'll need their superstars to win it for them.
"Usually it comes down to making big plays -- whether defensively, offensively -- it's either a blocked shot or a big rebound, or your guys step up or a role player playing better then normal," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Hopefully we have guys, and I think we do have guys that will make big plays."
D'Antoni is the first to admit that the onus on the Knicks is to play defense, something its junior varsity squad failed to do Wednesday night as Boston's B-team emerged with a 112-102 triumph at TD Garden in both sides' regular-season finale.
The sixth-seeded Knicks and the third-seeded Celtics open a best-of-seven playoff series back in Boston on Sunday night. Should Rivers and Co. be scared?
"Scared? I don't know if anything scares me about anybody," Rivers said. "[The Knicks] have three very, very, very good players."
They also have three very, very, very experienced players. And that's one of the myths Rivers is seeking to debunk before the series begins. While the Knicks haven't been to the playoffs in seven years and haven't been beyond the first round since 2000, they have plenty of playoff experience, highlighted by Anthony (seven postseason appearances), Stoudemire (five) and Chauncey Billups (10).
Billups was a member of that Detroit Pistons team that fended off McGrady and the Magic in 2002. He likes New York's potential.
"I think that we are probably, most certainly, the most dangerous first-round team in the NBA," Billups said earlier this week. "When I say that, it's because we are fresh and we are new and we are dangerous. We've got a lot of weapons, we can move the scoreboard, I think our defense is a lot better. We're going to be a tough out."
Billups said he understands the Celtics' recent struggles because he's been a part of veteran clubs with championship aspirations that often lose their motivation toward the end of the season.
Which is why this series might be less about how "dangerous" the Knicks are and more about how prepared the Celtics are to snap out of their late-season slumber.
"I think this is what our guys have been playing for all year," Rivers said, refrencing last season's near-miss against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. "When you lose a Game 7, it sticks with you. That's very difficult to get back through the regular season because the whole season you're thinking about, 'Gosh, we've got to go through 82 of these just to have a chance go get back to where we were at last year.' Now all that part is gone.
"Now we can start trying to get back to -- and finish -- the job."
After all, the most dangerous teams in the playoffs often are the squads that simply want it more.

More than 150 security controls in 16 categories have now been defined for the Federal Risk Assessment Program (FedRAMP), which provides common security requirements for cloud implementation on specific types of systems.
FedRAMP also provides ongoing risk assessments and continuous monitoring, and carries out government-wide security authorizations for vendors providing cloud services and infrastructure that will be posted on a public website.
[ Get more background on FedRAMP's goals. See Feds Aim To Speed Cloud Adoption With New Roadmap. ]
The release of these controls "is the critical first step that to successfully launching FedRAMP," as they are the basis for the program's standardized approach to the security authorization process for cloud products and services, according to a blog post on CIO.gov, the website for the CIO Council.
The FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB) went through an "extensive vetting process" to approve the controls since the initial release of FedRAMP documentation last year, according to the post. Indeed, FedRAMP has been in the planning stages for about two years but only was formally unveiled by U.S. CIO Steven Van Roekel in December.
The JAB also used feedback from those in both industry and government to create the controls so they "properly address the unique elements of authorizing cloud products and services, including multi-tenancy, control of an infrastructure, and shared resource pooling," according to the post.
To receive authorization from the federal government, agencies must implement the controls within a cloud service provider environment.
The categories cover comprehensive areas of security concern for IT systems. They are: access control; awareness and training; audit and accountability; assessment and authorization; configuration management; contingency planning, identification and authentication; incident response; maintenance; media protection; physical and environmental protection; planning; personnel safety; risk assessment; system and services acquisition; system and communications protection; and system and information integrity.
Each control covers a very specific area in a category that agencies must define for cloud-computing implementations. For example, controls under Access Control include account management, access enforcement, information flow enforcement, and separation of duties. Some of the requirements under personnel safety include individual controls for personnel screening, termination, and transfer, while controls under the incident response category include specific ones for incident response training, handling, monitoring, and reporting.
The systems and communications protection category--which covers many of the standard security procedures for system, such as public key infrastructure certificates, denial of service protection and use of cryptography--has the most controls, a total of 32. The awareness and training category has only four.
FedRAMP is a multiagency effort, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and the General Services Administration (GSA) all playing key roles.
In fact, the new security controls are in line with NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 3, which provides recommended security controls for federal IT systems and organizations for low and moderate impact systems, according to the CIO.gov blog post.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

SEO, Search Engine Optimisation Bolton
Learn the Art of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Unlock Floods of Hungry Traffic to Your Website!
So I guess you want to get found on Google and the main search engines? ...who doesn't more like!
JDC can do that for you, we know unequivocally what's important and what's not, to ultimately make Google and the other search engines love your website...
We can produce SEO EXPLOSIVE keyword rich articles, blogs and web content. Boost your site with underground link building and handle all of the SEO techy stuff to get visitors to your site by the ton.
So what is SEO and why exactly is it considered an art?
Over 80% of user searches online are via the Google search engine. If your website is NOT in the top 5-10 results you may as well quit right now - shut your website down because nobody can find you. Essentially your site sucks! The reality is that most websites are next to impossible to find and all because the site owner (you) or your website designer who built it, do not know the art of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
The internet today is as competitive as ever with literally millions of sites coming online every single day of the year - they are taking your sales! To be found online and get customers landing on your site in their masses, you need to be on the first page of the Google search results listings for your given keywords and keyphrases. Good, solid white-hat (in line with Google recommended practices) SEO is the best way to achieve this effectively, rapidly and for long term dominance of your product, market or niche!
Traffic. Traffic. Traffic.
No Traffic = No sales. So what is web traffic, does it have wheels? Simplified, Web Traffic is visitors to your website. Without this you will not sell your product, your service or your brand. The key is about generating multiple ways or methods of traffic that are efficient and effective but not just one, they all must work synergistically. This is called accumulation. Its an accumulative effect. Traffic generation via search engine results all driven by blogs, communities, directories, forums, PR sites, affiliate sites, Review sites, plus many more.
Generating masses of high quality traffic is no secret, its hard work, a formula and ultimately requires experience. Search Engine Optimisation is not for the feint hearted, definitely not for the part-timer nor inexperienced. So who should give the task of driving hordes of hungry-to-buy visitors to your website?
Here's 3 SEO secrets that the SEO gurus do not want you to know:
Insider Secret Number 1 - Good Web Designers don't necessarily make exceptional SEO's. Why? Because good SEO is based on content, in laymans terms - writing. Not just any old writing, writing that captivates, educates and inspires your reader but also fuels Google's search results! So with that said you need to find a good SEO writer...
Insider Secret Number 2 - Good Writers don't always make exceptional SEO's. Why? Because writers don't understand the complexity of site layout, site structure, and performance meta tag implementation. So you need to find a good SEO Engineer...
Insider Secret Number 3 - Good Site Developers and SEO Engineers don't always make exceptional SEOs. Why? Because exceptional SEO is about using a meticulous strategy - based on experience - its a way of using these key ingredients all working in synergy: high quality content, high performance layout, structure and strategic use of meta tags with a solid dose of SEO magic!
Can You Keep A Secret?
At JDC Communications there are no SEO secrets! Just robust, real world results. No stupid claims, No false promises. And for every pound you invest, its a pound very well invested. If you're a budding SEO pro yourself and eager to learn as we turbo-charge your search results... just ask!
Let us now take a look at a few examples of our services in action and the results attained.
Simple Case Study 1: Local Business
CG Cleaning launched their website August 2010. They came to JDC Communications for help, June 2011 having worked with a self proclaimed SEO guru, (his words not ours) and were consistently spending £250 a month. Sales were falling, not growing. I guess talk is cheap and having invested in excess of £2,000 - they needed an injection of reality.
We started by looking at the website strucuture to allow Google to rank the important pages and forget the non important pages such as Privacy and Terms and Conditions. This technqiue alows Google PageRank (google juice) to reach every key are of your website.
At the same time we began loading seo rich content to the website via how-to articles, company specific articles and customer help guides. Next were blogs, loaded with top tips and interesting alerts and notifications all syndicated with the popular social networks and social tools. Google loves juicey keyword loaded content delivered on a timely frequency using a specific keyword density.
Using a synergistic approach we started building high quality incoming links (commonly known as backlinks) generating not only qualified targeted traffic but also building link popularity, link reputation and PageRank, all key ingredients for Google's ranking alogrithums.
This is just the begining and already traffic is up by 23%, conversions (contact to agreement) are up 37% and the extra revenue has basically added £20K to their bottomline. Not bad for a 3 months minimal SEO investment.
Simple Case Study 2: National & Global Business
Aprilia Genuine Parts launched their website in late 2007, they wanted results from day one, not only in the UK but around the globe. As a side note - If you can generate traffic internationally, getting traffic nationally is a sneeze! They go hand-in-hand. I'll show you how we did this in rapid time.
The AGP team hit the ground running and invested in Search Engine Optimization from the very start. Its a good strategy and a recommended strategy because being passive when you launch your website can lead to all kinds of problems - including bankruptcy. You must compete with your competitors, don't sit and wait for Google to rank your site organically over the next 12-18 months. If you do this there is a good chance you will run out of money before your rankings happen. With over 80% of small businesses folding within the first 5 years you can see most businesses make the wrong choice.
We started off by targeting the top 20% best selling products, if you do this it often accounts for 80% of your business. Using keyword rich content for products descriptions, articles and blogs using local, national and international phrases such as "aprilia bike parts UK" or "aprilia parts RST" we were able to quicly dominate the rankings for a plethroa of terms, across the globe including locally.
Then came site strucutre and internal linking. This means how the site pages all connect via links using SEO friendly terms (anchor text). This enabled the Google spiders to crawl the website and locate every possible important page consequently ranking them high above their competitors.
To this day Aprilia Genuine Parts crushes the competition on a global scale. not bad for a small monthly investment.
Lets summarise what JDC can do for you and your business starting today!
Using an ecological approach and following Google's 150 plus strict guidelines JDC Communications will deliver you a bespoke, tailor-made Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) package and optimised strategy that will help your website deliver traffic in the boatload enabling you to reach your goals, targets, and boost your profits exponentially to figures you never thought possible.
