Sofft Reviews
I love these shoes! They are comfortable even when I wear them during a 10-12 hour work day! I bought the animal print and it looks great with several outfits!
Beautiful shoes and super comfortable. Unfortunately, as other reviews have stated, they run narrow. I have plenty of shoes in medium width, but prefer wide if available. I ordered 9.5 wide and the top strap was cutting into my toes. If you have a regular foot, you might need the wide to get the right fit. Those with narrow feet should be happy with the medium fit.
Cute shoes but the metal buckle hits right at my ankle bone and I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable with extended wear.
This is a stylish, good quality shoe. I have wide feet, so ordered a size wide. They fit great, with the exception of where the strap hits my little toes. I am sure that it would rub a blister, so though I could wear these I'd always have to put a bandaid on my toe. They are great in style and heel hight. Perfect for dresses, pants or shorts. Thank you Zappos for your patience in my finding something to wear on impossible to fit feet.
I usually wear a 9.5 and in these the 9.5 slips in the heel, but that's okay because I don't mind my shoes looser fitting and there no rubbing to cause a blister. I tried the 9.0 which felt good but caused a red irritation on my heel just trying them around the house. All that being said, they are super cute and have decent arch support (I have very high arches).
Cute shoe. I am a size 8 but ordered a half size smaller based on the reviews. The 7.5 fit well. I have a high arch and at first these are hard to put on but stretched out nicely. I love the blush color. It's a nice neutral without being too boring.
This is my first time trying Sofft brand. I didn't really notice that brand patch in the pictures, but it really stands out on the sole and is kind of thick. I was buying some shoes I can walk around a lot in, and I didn't feel like this was going to work for me. I may look again if I need a shoe to stand in a lot at an event. It felt like there was an air pocket underneath the patch, which was nice, but the patch itself is kind of rough and irritating. I felt like it would definitely cause me a lot of sole blisters. But I have diabetic feet, my skin is like tissue paper and I blister up very easily. I may try another design sometime if there are some that don't have this patch. The overall quality was better than average for a dress sandal, the leather very soft on all sides, although I do think overpriced.
Great sandal, really nice looking and very comfortable, I love the little heel and it has plenty padding, although the pad under the ball of the foot is sometimes annoying. As others mentioned, very wide. I usually wear a wide and I ordered regular width, which is perfect.
I loved this shoe. There was no reason for me to return it, except that it wasn't practical compared to the standard black heel I bought and needed. It's comfortable, adorable, stylish, and my most favorite shoe: a black, patent leather Mary Jane. I had being practical, sometimes!
These shoes are very comfortable. They have a soft foot bed and I love the adjustable top!

Compare Kruger Park Accommodation at a Glance
Compare Kruger National Park accommodation amenities and facilities at glance. Compare Private Game Lodges inside Kruger National Park, lodges in Greater Kruger Park Private Reserves and accommodation surrounding the park.
Accommodation in Kruger National Park at Luxury Private Lodges
The Outpost Safari LodgeThe luxury private lodges in Kruger National Park offer guests accommodation in various styles, from tented camps to premier suites. These lodges are on private concessions within Kruger National Park, meaning they have private access to the roads in their concession with no other public vehicles allowed. The nightly rates at private luxury lodges in Kruger Park are fully inclusive of all meals and guided game drives and in some instances also local brand beverages.
Guided open vehicle safaris are offered in the mornings and evenings and in some instances also bush walks. Cuisine is usually of a high standard and extra facilities might include spa treatments, gyms and private plunge pools. Guides can only stay on the main roads within their concession during game drives, but are allowed off road driving for Big 5 sightings.
Accommodation in Greater Kruger Park Private Game Reserves
Ulusaba Rock Lodge. Sabi SandsSurrounding Kruger National Park are various Big 5 reserves, either bordering the park with an open fence for animals to roam freely, or in bigger private reserves which are fenced. These include the Sabi Sands, Timbavati, Manyeleti, Balule, Kapama and Thornybush Reserves.
Game viewing in general is remarkably good at these lodges since guides are allowed to go off road for sightings, getting much closer to the animals, allowing for brilliant photo opportunities! The Private Game Reserve Lodges in Greater Kruger Park are the cream of the crop with excellent game viewing, exceptional service levels and superb cuisine.
Accommodation is offered in luxury tented camps, bush chalets, authentic camps, luxury suites, and premier suites - a huge selection of options to choose from suitable for all travellers. Prices are fully inclusive of all meals, guided game drives, bush walks and in some instances also local brand beverages.
Accommodation near Kruger National Park
Oliver's Lodge. White RiverThese include guesthouses, hotels and lower cost options than the luxury private lodges. Most hotels and guesthouses would include breakfast, although some also include dinner in their nightly rate. Accommodation options in this category are close enough to Kruger National Park to make a day trip viable either as a self-drive guest or with a private guided open vehicle safari.
These Accommodation near Kruger options are excellent for guests who prefer more flexibility in terms of activities in and around Kruger National Park.

It was by accident that I came across Cruisemiles a couple of years ago and two years on I couldn't be happier! We were nervous making our first booking using a voucher but everything went perfectly and our fears were for nothing. We have since been on two cruises with Cruisemiles, have two cruises currently booked and have recommended Cruisemiles to all our family and friends. Suddenly the biggest and best cruise ships all over the world are now affordable to the average Australian family like us. If you want a fantastic range of cruises, great service and extraordinary savings-then visit Cruisemiles today.
Written on: 30/08/2013
Glad you enjoyed your cruises - I'd like to know your opinion of the company now, one year later.
I think you won't be getting another cruise from them, and any miles you still have are worthless.

2960 Chartres St. | LaSalle, IL email@example.com
The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed description of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), its causes, symptoms and treatments. ADHD is a neurological disorder that develops during childhood and can persist into adulthood. Although adult ADHD is more common than initially thought, not all children who have these symptoms will go on to have the adult version of the disorder. Childhood symptoms may also change across the lifespan; some fade (e.g., blatant hyperactivity) while others may be expressed differently (e.g., chronic disorganization may result in getting fired from jobs). Because ADHD often "looks" different in kids and adults, the adult version of the disorder will be discussed in its own section later in the paper.
ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders. Approximately 3-7% of school-aged children have the disorder. Prevalence rates seem to vary by community, with some research indicating that larger cities may have ...

If the tester reports capacity values without a connected component, the calibration process is probably executed wrong. For calibration the three test pins should be connected together. After starting the tester, the message "Selftest mode ... ?" should be displayed. This message must be acknowledged withing 2 seconds with a key press. The three test pins must be isolated immediately after the "R0=....." message. You must connect a high quality capacitor with a capacity value of more than 100nF to the test pins 1 and 3 after the "C0=..." measurement is done and the "1-||-3 >100nF" message appear. With this step the selftest/calibration is finished. If your tester don't start the "Selftest mode", your board has an error. |

Shorting the 3 pins and pressing test, still says Batt 6.3v empty !.
I guess I get a new atmega ? Or a whole unit. I better label it and never use it to test a cap. The cap I tested was likely in circuit and likely an accident. I tested many a transistor in circuit. Obviously if the legs had a cap on on the board its like connecting to the cap. So I better not do that ... So in circuit use of this is out I guess. Cool. Srinath. |

The chip is a Atmega 328. Now I can read it since I pulled the display out.
Is that what you meant linuxguru ? If I buy a atmega 328 chip to replace it do I need to program that chip ? Or is it ready to drop into the board. Thanks. Srinath. |

My decision a few months ago was narrowed down by the fact that 80% of them did not have a case. It cant look like a bunch of circuit boards connected by some wires. If I cant operate and make sense of it 3 drinks and a joint or 2 in, its not to be bought.
Yea yea ... I only have a small burn on my finger about 3 yrs ago and I got that sober ... so I know to wear pants when using a soldering iron. Cool. Srinath. |

You need to program it, of course. The images are available at various forums/websites, or you can even rebuild the binary from the source (it's an open-source project).

Search for the M328 one, with a green ZIF socket and solid brass spacers between the board and display. That one is the most durable, and can be modded if required.

Probably you can test with another source to supply the unit. If the real input voltage is much higher than 6.3V, you can also check the voltage divider build with a 10k / 3.3k resistor divider. The 10k is connected to the voltage regulator input with one side, the other side is connected to the 3.3k resistor and PC5 of the ATmega. The other side of the 3.3k resistor is connected to GND of course. Another way to avoid the "Batt 6.3V empty!" message is to program the chip with reduced battery empty level (BAT_POOR=5900 for example). The "in circuit" measurement of DISCHARCHED capacitors can be done with a special function, which can be selected with a menu function "C+ESR@TP1:3" of software version 1.10k for a ATmega328. The capacitor must be connected to TP1 and TP3 and must have at least 2µF capacity. You should not expect a good capacity measurement accuracy for this type of measurement because the measurement voltage is very low. Other measurements are not recommended to do "in circuit". |

The battery when I hit the start button measures 8.9v or so on my DMM. I even tried with new batteries, same thing.
I dont know how to program it. But the test 10k/3.3k I could try but I dont know what is the voltage regulator in that circuit. I suspect the voltage regulator is what has gone on this. A bad chip will give you nothing. The display is still controlled by the atmega chip, and that is telling it whatever it shows. That to me is indication of something in the atmega working. Let me try the resistor trick - I may ask more questions ... but I have enough to start soldering away. Thanks. Srinath. |

We pray for your successful journey to good health.
Holy Trinity Catholic School Division Board of Education values the good work our staff members do each day.

There will be times when someone is making an important decision... and you won't be there to help. At that moment, the only influence you will have with that loved one or customer or associate, when he or she is making a decision that will affect the rest of his or her life - and your life - is Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing. This unique mind technology will help you in every area of your life.
Transform your health: With Remote Viewing you can detect health problems and threats to your health, and then take action both physically and mentally - with Remote Influencing - to protect your health or restore and maintain optimum health for yourself and your loved ones.
Transform your relationships: Troubleshoot relationship problems by remotely viewing them... even before they develop. Sense the other person's needs and wants so that you can respond appropriately. Then use Remote Viewing to detect the invisible barriers they have erected, old wounds you may have forgotten... misunderstandings that have never been adequately resolved. Then use Remote Influencing to establish deep rapport at deep, inner levels... and watch the changes that take place at the outer level.
Transform your career: Do you want a better job? Something more meaningful, interesting, and satisfying to do? Do you want to start your own business? Use Remote Viewing to detect the information that will help you do a better job. Once you determine the things that need to be done, use Remote Influencing to help you implement your decisions.
Transform your personal development: Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing can enhance your thinking, memory, creativity, and ability to see your future. These technologies can help you find and fulfill your purpose in life, strengthen your connection with your source (higher intelligence), pray more effectively, obtain guidance and help from higher intelligence to fulfill your mission in life.

Hiring a Divorce Lawyer
In theory, divorce is simple. You and your spouse need only to resolve child support, child custody, spousal support, and dividing debt and property. If you can work these issues out with your spouse, you can file an "uncontested divorce", and the divorce can be settled economically and quickly. However, if the two of you are unable to settle your issues, you most likely will need the help of a divorce attorney or family law lawyer in filing a "contested divorce".
Divorce lawyers have two main ways to charge for their services; hourly or fixed fee. Under the hourly billing method an attorney charges you for every minute of work on your case. At the end of the month you are presented a bill. This bill could be 1 hours or it could be 20 hours. With a fixed fee method the attorney lists the services to be completed and cost. You pay this cost and there are no extra charges until new work needs to be completed. Both hourly and fixed fee attorneys usually require a deposit (or retainer) before starting work.
Our divorce lawyers prefer the fixed fee for "uncontested" divorces, "contested" divorces, and "contested" custody cases. We only practice in these areas of law and feel we have a good sense for estimating a fair fee. By providing you a fixed fee, we remove the uncertainty of "how much will this cost" from your mind. With a fixed fee, you don't need to worry how much you are paying every time you talk with your attorney.
Costs of Uncontested Divorce
The costs for an uncontested divorce will range between $1,800 and $2,200 for most cases. This fee includes the required court filing fees. The final cost depends on how uncontested your case really is. Some couples have everything figured out and can complete our Joint Petition Worksheet. Other couples need a couple of meetings with the attorney to mediate some of the remaining issues.
Costs of Contested Divorce
No law firm no exactly what your contested divorce will cost. Why not? Because we don't know what your spouse or their attorney are going to do. They may agree with reasonable claims, and they have unreasonable claims. We have handled $20,000 divorce cases because both spouses wanted a judge to award them attorney fees because the other spouse cheated. This is an unreasonable position.
These unreasonable cases happen, but are rare. The average contested divorce costs $6,000 to $8,000. The upfront retainer is typically between $3,000 to $4,000.
Do you always need to hire an attorney? No, you don't "need" to hire an attorney. They is no law requiring you to have an attorney to handle your case. Here are some tips when you should hire a divorce lawyer or family law attorney.
When to Hire a Divorce Lawyer
- If the stress is too much. If you roll-up in a fetal position every time you see a legal document you may want to hire someone. The only reason not to hire a lawyer is the money. What's more important money or your health?
- If you are seeking protective orders (or TPO) against a spouse. Cases involving protective orders are too difficult, and possibly dangerous, to handle on your own.
- If speaking in court in front of a judge scares you. There is a high probability you will need to present your case in open court in front of the judge.
- If you and your spouse have a considerable amount of debt. Debt can be a sticky legal situation.
- If you own real estate or a business. Business evaluations absolutely need expert legal assistance.
- If one of the contested issues is alimony or spousal support. Spousal support formulas are complex. Do yourself a favor and hire an attorney who understand the judges thoughts on spousal support.
- If your spouse has left the state with the children. Custody cases with relocation issues are too complicated to handle without a custody attorney.
Keys To Hiring an Attorney
- Hire a lawyer with at least three or more years of divorce experience. Their experience should be specific in divorce, of family law. Don't use a business attorney to represent you in family court and vice versa. Two completely different types of law, and in Las Vegas two different courts.
- Look for online reviews which speak about the attorney and staff. You will be dealing with the staff as much as the attorney.
- Look for an attorney that supports you and believes in your viewpoints or interests. Not all attorneys will agree with your position on an issue. Your position may not be right, but no sense fighting your attorney and your spouse.
- Speak with a law firm that provides you an initial consultation with an attorney. Some firms have you meet with a paralegal first. Working with a paralegal after you meet the attorney is acceptable.
- If your case is likely to go to trial then look for an attorney with at least a dozen divorce trials under his belt. Just because they have a attorney license doesn't mean they know how to handle a trial.

after 8hrs at working listening to the same soundtrack played over and over.... [ insert your guess here ]
Depends on who's singing it. Well, Justin Bieber pretty much ruined the whole festive season...
If I am in that Christmas spirit, I absolutely enjoy it!
I LOVE Christmas songs!!
It's not Christmas without it. Makes everything cheery!
I will happily listen to one, enjoy it, and then switch it off. Too much positivity can get on your nerves.
Pleasant. I always look forward to singing carols like "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "We Three Kings."
Only Christmas music I listen to is TSO. The rest is crap.
Maybe if they'd wait until the Holidays to play Holiday music, I could enjoy it a lot more. I DON'T want to hear "Away in the Manger" while eating Thanksgiving diner.
Carol of the bells - I have always hated that song. The bells and the melody sound more like a funeral dirge than the joyful song they are supposed to be. I can see them using it as a sound track on a serial killer movie.
lol that's pretty funny ....
Depends on the holiday music and how long it's been playing. I usually start listening to my Xmas playlist a month before Xmas day and in about three weeks I've had enough. I tend to stick to traditional stuff and avoid the over-produced hit-of-the-moment (the Beebs being the current example) stuff.
Cheery of course! Merry Christmas to You, Merry Christmas to you....
anything in small dose's is not to bad ,but I would go crazy working in a shop that played it all day ,if that was the case I would hate Christmas
Annoying 3 weeks before Christmas
actually i like listening to these kinda songs , as i am not celebration Christmas so i do cheer my self widh these kinda songs
christmas music makes me lwant to hurl..<br />
i like valentines day music all year round
Yes I do, I enjoy this time of year and everything that goes with it, all the ups and all the downs. Enjoying life
When it's put on marathon on by practically all radio stations for a full 24 hours, yeah...kinda annoying.
i despise anyhting to do with that horrible hohoholiday...
Really Jack Skellington?

Shakespeare, Sex, and Love Hardback
by Stanley W. Wells
How does Shakespeare's treatment of human sexuality relate to the sexual conventions and language of his times? Pre-eminent Shakespearean critic Stanley Wells draws on historical and anecdotal sources to present an illuminating account of sexual behaviour in Shakespeare's time, particularly in Stratford-upon-Avon and London.
He demonstrates what we know or can deduce of the sex lives of Shakespeare and members of his family.
He also provides a fascinating account of depictions of sexuality in the poetry of the period and suggests that at the time Shakespeare was writing most of his non-dramatic verse a group of poets catered especially for readers with homoerotic tastes.
The second part of Shakespeare, Sex, - and Love focuses on the variety of ways in which Shakespeare treats sexuality in his plays and at how he relates sexuality to love. Wells shows that Shakespeare's attitude to sex developed over the course of his writing career, and devotes whole chapters to 'The Fun of Sex' - to how he raises laughter out of the matter of sex in both the language and the plotting of some of his comedies; portrayals of sexual desire; to Romeo and Juliet as the play in which Shakespeare focuses most centrally on issues relating to sex, love, and the relationship between them; to sexual jealousy, traced through four major plays; 'Sexual Experience'; and 'Whores and Saints'.
A final chapter, 'Just Good Friends' examines Shakespeare's rendering of same-gender relationships.

Later this allows us to change the educational paradigm to mix distance leaning, on-demand tutorials, help buttons for any task, and social networking as needed. Above the cash line, we focus on restoring education and research as the engines for wealth production through knowledge creation. Below the cash line, we focus on intellectual property creation, management, exploitation. Law Enforcement Beginning with Interpol and drilling down locally in all countries, we give them OSIS-X free to obtain privacy OK & protection world-wide. GWOT data benefits. United Nations All NGOs, World Bank, IMF Journalists We get their organizations to pay for access, but we find a way to recruit them as individuals to meet our client needs on the side. Labor Unions & Religions Citizens & Advocacy Groups Its no longer about the collection of information or the communication of information. The next big thing is about the connection of dots to dots, dots to people, and people to people. We do this with an intelligent network and a focus on semantic web/synthetic information architecture technology, and the empowerment of individuals so that they can create and share knowledge in real time without organizational, legal, security, cultural, or language impediments. The next slide shows the OSS value concept, the I side of the IT equation. SANITIZED

After meeting them will they help Bella get over the death of her mum or will they make things worse?
Meet Arshes Stratholme. She is your typical gothic, self-secluding, moody 16 year old teenage girl. Well, that is if you call being a vampire typical. Her "family" has just moved her from the only place she has ever called home to the small, wet town of Forks, WA. Everything seems to be peachy for the Stratholmes. But, what happens when they come face to face with the Cullens, a well established coven, in this dreary town?
Rated NC-17 for Language, Violence, and possible lemons in later chapters.

Chapter Song Playlist : http://www.playlist.com/playlist/14529677067
"There is no way Bella is going to fall for you, Edward," Emmett said with a laugh. "Wanna bet on it?" was Edward's cocky reply. It started off as a bet but when he finds himself falling for her things begin to get complicated.
Edward and Bella meet at the bar one night, each mending their own broken heart. Some shots of tequila and a night of hot sex later, what will happen? Will they fall in love or fall apart?
When Carlisle introduces Edward to a young coma patient, they discover that Leia's mind still works just fine. What would happen if the hospital is forced to disconnect her life support? Can vampire venom heal *everything*?
AU | New Moon
His dangerously black eyes looked up at her desperately, a painful cry left his throat as he collapsed to the tile floor, her thin arms still fiercely clung to him. She traced the scars on his back. "Bella, I need you to say it..I can't..please..."
His fingernails dug deeper into her bare thighs as the rest of his body started to tremble.
Introverted, misanthropic Edward has never shown any interest in having friends. However, when he encounters a group of beautiful, magnificent students at his new school, he cannot help but feel intrigued and drawn to them. When simple infractions of the law evolve into dangerous and life-threatening scandal, Edward involves himself in something well beyond anything he's ever experienced. How far is he willing to go to prove himself to them?

Summary: Set after the events of New Moon at the very beginning of Eclipse, Jasper feels the need to apologize to Bella.
Being a working class girl in 1988 was something that Bella Swan hated. She wanted out of it and she got her wish when she is turned into a vampire. Going through time drinking blood was the normal for Bella until she stumbles across Edward Cullen and his family. They take her in and try to teach her the alternative to live. Bella is getting the hang of it and the hang of Edward Cullen. Everything seems to be going right in her life, until a person from her past comes back and threatens to destroy it.
Bella left Forks and her four best friends, Emmett McCarty, Alice Brandon, Rosalie Hale, and Edward Cullen behind at the end of their eighth grade year to move in with her mother, Renee, and her new stepfather. Now it's the beginning of her senior year and she finally has the chance to reunite with the friends she loves. She wasn't expecting her reaction to the mysterious Texan who had joined her group of friends in her absence.
Some canon pairings, some not even close. Rated NC-17 for underrage drinking, language, sexuality, and some violence.
Bella and Edward at the end of all things.
"The scientists knew just enough to determine exactly when the world was going to end, and not nearly enough to be able to stop it.
Humanity had not dug its own grave, but opted for cremation."
How was it that one could want something so much? How could she purposely tempt me to bite her? Did she already know my secret? No, she never cared about me before...did she? I used to believe I understood the mind of all my classmates, till I saw Amanda's eyes that day.
"Don't go," she whispers, but it is only to the air.
He's leaving her again, this time for good, and there's nothing she can do except sit back and watch him ruin both their lives.
AU-All Human, Alice and Jasper.

She finds that escaping from a potentially life threatening situation is not the only perk of moving to Forks. Here she meets the elusive and breathtakingly beautiful Jasper Hale and his family, and they have their own little secret. Getting to know Jasper proves to be no easy task, but it helps when he saves her life when she most needs it. They develop a connection neither of them could've known existed and Alice is in total bliss. Here in Forks Alice thinks shes finally gotten her second chance, but she soon realizes that she can't run from her past. It's a lot faster than her.
Bella Swan starts her first semester as an English professor with just the right thing – a one night stand. But what happens when that one night stand shows up in the most unexpected place? All-human.
Audrie Dejardins is a young witch trying to get over the deaths of her twin brother and her father. But when new family moves into her town of Prince Rupert, British Colombia, everything seems to change. Who or what are the Cullens, when they don't seem like any textbook magical being or mortal alike?
Bella is convinced that Edward has fallen out of love with her. His constant disappearances, his avoidance of her touch - there are so many signs that it's true.
But when she starts to notice some strange changes in Edward and Alice, Bella starts to suspect that something else is going on.
Entry for the Steamy Movie Crossover Contest featuring the show Friday Night Lights. Jasper, the star quarterback, focuses his life around his one passion, football. That is until Alice shows up, but what's a guy to do when the girl he finds himself falling for is his new coach's daughter?
