Morton's neuroma
Morton's neuroma is an injury to the nerve between the toes, which causes thickening and pain. It commonly affects the nerve that travels between the third and fourth toes.
See also: Foot pain
Morton's neuroma is more common in women than inmen.
The exact cause is unknown. However, some experts believe the following may play a role in the development of this condition:
- Abnormal positioning of toes
- Flat feet
- Forefoot problems, including bunions and hammer toes
- High foot arches
- Tight shoes and high heels
Symptoms of Morton's neuroma include:
- Tingling in the space between the third and fourth toes
- Toe cramping
- Sharp, shooting, or burning pains in the ball of your foot (and sometimes toes)
- Pain that increases when wearing shoes or pressing on the area
- Pain that gets worse over time
In rare cases, nerve pain occurs in the space between the second and third toes. This is not a common form of Morton's neuroma, but treatment is similar.
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider can usually diagnose this problem by examining your foot. A foot x-ray may be done to rule out bone problems. MRI or high-resolution ultrasound can successfully diagnose Morton's neuroma.
Nerve testing (electromyography) cannot diagnose Morton's neuroma, but may be used to rule out conditions that cause similar symptoms.
Blood tests may be done to check for inflammation-related conditions, including certain forms of arthritis.
Nonsurgical treatment is tried first. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
- Padding and taping the toe area
- Shoe inserts
- Changes to footwear (for example, shoes with wider toe boxes)
- Anti-inflammatory medicines taken by mouth or injected into the toe area
- Nerve blocking medicines injected into the toe area
- Other painkillers
- Physical therapy
Anti-inflammatories and painkillers are not recommended for long-term treatment.
In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the thickened tissue. This can help relieve pain and improve foot function. Numbness after surgery is permanent, but should not be painful.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Nonsurgical treatment does not always improve symptoms. Surgery to remove the thickened tissue is successful in about 85% of cases.
Possible Complications
Morton's neuroma can make walking difficult. Persons with this foot condition may also have trouble performing activities that put pressure on the foot, such as pressing the gas pedal of an automobile. It may hurt to wear certain types of shoes, such as high-heels.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have persistent pain or tingling in your foot or toe area.
Avoid ill-fitting shoes. Wear shoes with a wide toe box.

To see a demonstration of a Voice Signature to accept a delivery, click here.
In many places, a man's word has the worth of gold. Sadly, this is not so in today's litigation-prone construction environment.
As producers know, the customer's authorized agent must sign each delivery receipt. On many large projects, hundreds of receipts must be managed to ensure proper billing and collection.
Along with the challenges of managing receipts, producers also face the problem of reconciliation. The agent's signature can be very difficult to read. An employee who is charged with approving receipts could be laid off or transferred to another location when a question occurs. And if an unsigned ticket is discovered during the pre-billing process, there's the challenge of asking the customer to accept the delivery.
Ours is not the only industry which has been slowed by the need for pen and paper. In the last few years, there's been a movement in the financial community to use voice recognition as a tool to complete a legal transaction. Credit card companies, real estate agents, and banks have been looking for safe tools to provide their clients the convenience of approving a sound business decision without a pen.
One of these new technologies is the Voice Signature Service (VSS), developed by Trade Harbor, a St. Louis-based software developer. This Web-based service enables sellers and buyers to complete a legal transaction by voice. VSS can be integrated into any producer's telephone or Web platforms.
How it works
Producers that sign up for VSS ask their contractor-customers to select pre-approved employees to serve as their agents in accepting a delivery. Using a specially developed voice recognition software program, Trade Harbor records and stores these employees' voice patterns in its database.
"The VSS system requires more than just a sound recording to complete the deal," says John Hanpeter, Trade Harbor's vice president and chief operating officer. The approval software meshes three forms of voice technologies— voice verification, automatic speech recognition, and a self-developed voice user interface—and user dialogue to create a secure and cost-effective method to verify identities.
The VSS software incorporates necessary accounting and banking elements to create a legally binding transaction and meet the various regulatory requirements. "Our system provides strong authentication, explicit authorization, and an audit trail for remote transactions through the capture and biometric analysis of voice recordings," says Hanpeter.
Recognizing the problems in this industry, Trade Harbor is introducing VSS to construction. "VSS can streamline many aspects of the approval process, including accepting delivery receipts, approving change order requests, and authorizing wire transfers," says Hanpeter. "We have developed a system that is a replacement for hand-written documents that slow even the fastest project."

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Resort 2013
The British love of a floral-print dress is as irrepressible as Union Jack bunting at a Jubilee street party this summer—a national affection which has sprung back all over again in the nostalgia for 1952, the Queen's coronation year. One way or another, a new crop of flowers is pushing its way into the London designers' resort collections, too—though thankfully not in any clichéd vintage tea-dress sense. Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi's vibrant arrangements are far more modernist, but just walking into their showroom is enough to make you blink with pleasure as you drink in the color. "There are hydrangeas, poppies, gerberas, chrysanthemums, which we love," said Thornton. "But we wanted to do something nontraditional with them. So we started looking at Jeff Koons's paintings with all those super-bright pop colors and brushstrokes dragged across them. And Nick Knight's photos of flowers."
The results—abstracted collages of big-headed blooms—are spliced with graphic horizontal bands of white, green, and black inspired by another sector altogether. "Sport is the other thing that went into it, I suppose," Bregazzi said. "The idea of combining the patterns with tracksuits, sweatshirts, and bombers." Have the London Olympics been working their way into their heads, then? Thornton laughed, "Well, maybe without us really thinking about it. We've just always liked that sporty minimalism of the nineties."
Still, where this Preen resort collection has ended up is more important than its sources. The knack the couple has developed is in hybridizing garments as well as surface patterns and making sure that the Preen collection is welcoming to women of varying shapes. There's their signature fitted trompe l'oeil print dress, which looks as if it's a top and skirt, and turns to show a plain crepe back-half, in a different color. There's their excellently fitted narrow pantsuits, in which go-faster stripes are this time cleverly moved to the front of the trouser. There are tops which merge the front of a silk-print T-shirt with a flowing A-line knitted cardigan in back. And there are long, breezy shapes in which nothing much touches the body from the shoulder to the ground, but which still manages not to look schlumpy.
In all: a truly evolved, professional line which deserves better exposure in America.

Anderson Science Building Remodel
This remodel of the Juneau campus principal science building is complete.
The Anderson Building joins one of the few North Pacific Marine Laboratories. It provides classrooms, teaching labs, and research labs for faculty and students in the UAS biology and marine biology programs. Major building components have been upgraded or replaced including heating and ventilating equipment and controls, the roof membrane and insulation, new toilet rooms, interior finishes, elevator replacement, classroom and laboratory casework and the emergency generator. Interior space is reconfigured to improve effectiveness of the teaching and research areas.
The location within walking distance of campus merges the classroom and lab experience with the marine environment. The water view of the Bay provides continual inspiration for the budding biologist. Teaching labs are in close proximity to faculty offices and research labs. Students can initiate and conduct their own research projects with faculty mentors. Salt-water tanks, provided with flow-through seawater delivered directly from Auke Bay, allow the study of a variety of invertebrates as well as marine algae. Auke Bay is just steps away, providing easy access to the intertidal zone. The new dive locker is a welcome addition for those faculty and students who venture into the depths of the marine environment. The genetics lab offers the students the opportunity to use the most current techniques to study population dynamics at the molecular level. Drs. Carolyn Bergstrom, Mike Stekoll, David Tallmon, and Sherry Tamone study a wide breadth of topics related to the unique environment of Southeast Alaska – from hormonal regulation of growth and reproduction in crabs, to the genetics of salmon and bears; from marine plant interactions to the effects of predation and competition in the marine environment. Who wouldn't want to become a biologist in a setting like this?
Anderson Building Classroom includes a view of the Auke Bay marine environment

Pedestrian Access Update
Anderson building pedestrian access work will include a bridge connecting to the third floor of the Anderson Building and a paved and lighted pathway to the main campus.
UAS is awaiting detailed design data on the Alaska DOT&PF's proposed re-alignment of Glacier Highway.DOT&PF and UAS are re-examining the impacts of the future road and right-of-way re-alignment. Road construction is intended for 2011. Construction of the pedestrian access is not likely to begin before 2012.
The total project cost is estimated at $10,700,000

UPLAND - Tonight's City Council meeting will be the last for Councilman Ken Willis, who has served in this position since 2000.
Willis has decided to retire and will be replaced by newly elected Councilman Glenn Bozar.
Willis will be recognized for his service by the council, community and several other dignitaries at the beginning of the meeting at 7 p.m.
"It's time to look for other things to do," he said.
Willis said he will continue serving on various water boards in the region, including Upland's San Antonio Water Company Board.
"The water process isn't something that you want to treat in a lackadaisical matter," he said. "It's technical and periodically complicated and there's opportunities to do more things there. I've always liked water and spent a lot of years pursuing water issues."
Willis also plans on traveling with his wife, Jane, and getting involved with local charities.
He recently sold his Upland business, League of California Homeowners, a nonprofit homeowners advocacy organization.
"Retiring is always something all of us have to go through at some point. I've done my time on the council," Willis said.
Prior to Willis' election to the council, he served on the City Council Advisory Committee and a budget committee along with Bozar.
"I think he'll do a wonderful job. I think Glenn is intellectually honest, and I believe that he does his homework," Willis said.
"And I think he'll he has a lot more energy than I have at the moment and the city needs a little more energy."
Bozar, who was elected Nov. 6, has been a member of the San Antonio Water Company Board and the City Council Advisory Committee.
Bozar said he is eager to get up to speed and involved.
"It is an honor and a privilege to represent the residents of Upland and to be given the opportunity to work with the Mayor and other Council members on behalf of residents," Bozar said in an email. "Being an elected official, it is truly special and carries the awesome responsibility to do what is in the best interest of residents."
Bozar said he is also looking forward to getting to work on the city's budget problems.
"The financial challenges confronting the city will require collaborating with all stakeholders to solve them," he said.
Mayor Ray Musser and Treasurer Dan Morgan were re-elected in November and will also be sworn in tonight.
Upland Police Chief Jeff Mendenhall will update the council on the homeless situation in Memorial Park.
The council will also consider:

Published September 2013
Welcome back, fall! Welcome back, Friday night lights, new season of TV shows and my favorite—fall fashion. The kids are back in school, the weather is cooler and I love it. The fall season is one of my favorite times of year. I love how the leaves begin to change color, from green to bright orange, red and yellow. The heat of summer begins to dissipate, leaving us with crisp cool mornings and countless stars and constellations to fill the night sky.
I love to dress for fall weather. I know we don't usually have the typical fall weather like some do north of us, but that doesn't mean we can't still make a fashion statement. I love the changing colors that fall brings and the changing colors of the fashion palette, too. I love the deep shades of orange, gold, red, rust, the purples and the greens. These colors help us express a range of moods, with hues representing sophistication and structure to those bringing vivid life and excitement.
And, I love the ability to change a look with the changing weather. Dress it up, dress it down. Add boots and a belt. Throw on a scarf or a big chunky necklace, light jacket or sweater. The possibilities are endless this time of year; making it a difficult decision as to what to wear to a football game on Friday night!
A true stamp of fall is Friday night lights. Cities all across the country anxiously await the pageantry and excitement of high school football on Friday night. Two-a-days, sweat, full pads, drills, scrimmages, all have been done in preparation for the Friday night game. From the bleacher seats smells of popcorn, hot dogs, nachos and candy fill the stadium air. Cheerleaders, pom-poms, painted faces, megaphones and cow bells are familiar sights and sounds surrounding the boys of fall. It's the time of year everyone gathers in hopes of a victory when the final down is played! And if you're not a Friday night fanatic, don't worry, there is plenty of drama on TV to watch.
I am so ready for the new season of TV shows. Yes, I'm a TV junkie. I have my favorite shows and I watch them religiously. It all starts on Sunday night with "The Good Wife." Moving on to Monday night, I like the reality show, "The Voice." Two of my newest favorite shows are now both on the same night and the same time: "Chicago Fire" and "Person of Interest." They used to be on different nights, but the networks have changed the scheduling and I will have to watch one and record the other. I know, oh poor me!!
Now that all the "drama" is done, I love "The Big Bang Theory." Up until a couple of months ago, I never thought I'd watch that show. My husband told me to sit down and just watch a whole episode and then make my decision. I did and I was hooked. I love it. So now Thursday nights start and end with a "bang," as that is the only show I watch now on Thursday nights. I might tune into some of the new shows coming this fall, but so far none of the previews have really piqued my interest. It may be like "The Big Bang," may just have to watch an episode to discover what I've been missing.
If you're a baseball fan you know there's nothing better than post season baseball. They all want to still be playing in late September and October. Fox network is usually host for the playoffs and World Series games.
The term "fall" is derived from old Germanic languages; meaning, "To fall from a height." The term also came from Middle English expression like, "fall of the leaf." New settlers to North America brought the English language with them, therefore keeping the term fall for the season of transition between summer and winter, as opposed to the term autumn. Autumn is the term used most around Halloween and harvest time. And according to Wikipedia, since 1996 Autumn has been one of the 100 top names for girls.
Well, as I write this it happens to be a very nice day in August, 80 degrees, cloudy with 30 percent chance of rain. It's definitely feeling like fall or autumn and I welcome it with open arms.

Bruno Mars confirms next single to be 'Treasure'
Listen to Bruno Mars on iHeartRadio
The third cut off Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox is a much more upbeat track than his most recent "When I Was Your Man," which hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 last month. According to "Digital Spy," "Treasure" will be released in the U.K. in June before hitting radio stateside.
Bruno also announced that so far, his "Moonshine Jungle World Tour" has sold over 800,000 tickets worldwide. Demand was so high he even added four additional dates in the U.K.
In the U.S., Bruno has already sold out Chicago's United Center, Brooklyn's Barclays Center, two dates at Los Angeles' Staples Center, as well as his opener in Washington D.C. on June 22nd.

Sesame Street In Search of New Elmo Voice After Kevin Clash Resigns
As most of the adult world know by now, Sesame Street's Elmo has been in the news a lot lately. As a result, Kevin Clash, who has been the voice of Elmo for more than 28 years, has resigned leaving Sesame Street to search for the new voice of Elmo. Personally, I think they should take a serious look at the guy in this video.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The staff treated us more like friends than guests. A lovely small hotel in a good location.
location,clean,friendly staff couldn't do enough for us.would go back anytime. breakfast was ok but not enough choice of hot food.
Wonderfull view, friendly and helpfulll staff, excellent breakfast
Fantastic views, perfect location,outstanding rooms, friendly staff, lovely restaurant, great breakfast selection perfect holiday
The quiet and location of the allocated room within the hotel. The friendliness and genuine warmth of the staff. restaurant food very good. The music played around the pool area could become tiresome and occasionally noisy or inappropriate to the type of guest - not everyone likes constant music. Considering the amount of fruit grown on Skiathos, the daily melon and tinned fruit for breakfast should perhaps be improved upon.
Our delux comfy room with 4 poster bed was lovely with balcony with great view of the sea. Having breakfast with a panaramic view was an added bonus! Fresh fruit juice and more fresh fruit rather than tinned & melon would have improved the breakfast! Its just a shame the beach is on the other side of the main road but the views are stunning! A solution could be to get an area on the beach for your own sunbeds?!! Would like to see the communal corridors and external stairs cleaned more often.
Friendly staff clean rooms, fantastic views and location Pool bar was not open but was due to open soon
We enjoyed very pleasant atmosphere of the family hotel Magic. Also the island of Skiathos is beautiful. It is a real Paradise with many wonderfull beaches, crystal pure water in the sea and azzure blue sky all the time.
Everything was very nice. Food was good staff were excellent. View from balcony amazing. Only real disappointment was the at the rooms were small, given the price we paid. We were annoyed that having booked and paid for a triple room it turned out to be a small standard twin room with an extra bed shoved in with no room between any of the beds-uncomfortably tight accomodation. Also the air conditioning was too loud.
The staff at reception were so welcoming and the dudes looking after us at breakfast were cool. Only a short walk to a very relaxing beach. The room was excellent with an awesome view over the bay.
the spa was surprisingly good. proximity to the beach was outstanding. staff were incredibly friendly. gym facilites were poor, but good as far as island offerings go.
location, excellent beach and pool. very laid back and good standard for a greek hotel. Friendly helpful staff and very clean. lovely lunchtime beach taverna. Food generally a good standard (but not fine dining). Good entertainment in the evening Hotel has a lot of rules which seem to be designed to make you spend more - eg if you buy a bottle of wine in the restaurant, you can take it to your room but cannot bring it back in the restaurant the following evening to finish it and you cannot take it out and finish it in the bar. Drinks in the hotel very expensive which is a shame as it means people flock out in the evening making the bar a bit lacking in atmosphere
The service is good
Reception staff on arrival very good- showed us to room. Room clean and everything available. Well cleaned and excellent bathroom. We ate twice in the hotel restaurant in the evening- first time Asian food- not very good- food was quite cold when served. Second time tried South American- average food- not as good as we would expect. We would recommend more high quality Greek food.
The layout. with the proximity of all amenities ( pool, beach, restaurants). It is close to the town and the fact that children can have fun in a secure and safe environment.
nice beach, nice breakfast less service as confirmed in the booking ( no satellite, no cd player, no internet access in the room ), bathroom not clean enough
the beach, the restaurant ath the beach, the pool area anyone can go to the beach ... the beach is not protetcted to be only for the hotel guests.
> location is perfect, beach and view > early in the season (May), not enough personnel and not all the menu food is available. Attitude of personnel (esp beach restaurant) is not realy service oriented. Example; moving the table in the restaurant a view meters so we could sit in the sun, was too much to ask for...not a 5 star hotel service...
the food was good and fresh, the position on the beach was perfect for a 5stars hotel it's impossible to believe that everytime i have had to ask for the soap when it was finished. the bathroom was really dirty even after cleaning
There is an onsite beautician so if you want a manicure, pedicure or massage just to chill out you can squeeze it in before you go the beach. Staff are courteous. All the common areas of the hotel - pool, bar, lawns etc are excellently maintained. The rooms were spacious but a bit sparsely furnished for a five star hotel. Our room would have benefited from some small repairs/maintenance such as shutter handles & on windy nights the door to the room rattled. Bring your own hairdryer - the ones provided are not up to the job. Also you are paying top notch for any refreshments etc consumed on premises or at beach restaurant due to same said five stars but there are lots of other choices within walking distance so don't let this put you off.
Tha owners were attentive and helpful. The room was comfortable and the price appropriate. The views were fantastic. There was nothing to complain about!
The owner was very kind and helpful The shower lacks a tent
The extreme kindness and helpfulness of the owners, Babis and his wife. No complains of any kind. We shall certainly stay there again in the future.
I liked the owners who were helpful and met me from the Airport and took me back when I flew home. I loved my room with a view and the fact that it had a balcony
The guys were excellent..Excellent chioce!
Staff is excellent. Very friendly and very helpful. The room is clean. the view is fantastic. Excellent option for a low budget hotel. Definitely recommend it.
i received an e mail from fhe owner a few days prir to my arrival offering me to pick me up for free upon my arrival on the island, but there was not one there to pick me up, i had to find a phone, the pancion (hotel) is almost impossible to find on your own. the room was ok confortable bed, beautifull view, friendly owners, a bit noisy with noise from other clients coming in late, but for the money i recommend it no problem... i give it a 6 plus i would go back... i even stayed an extra night
Our hosts are charming.
The pension is located in an excellent position, in a quiet area only one minute walking from the main streets. The view from the room is breathtaking. Yota and her husband were extremely helpful and always went out of their way. I would definitely come back to this place and highly recommend it.
Mostly beach food and quite nights out The steps were. Very scary do not recommend heals!
Great hotel, amazing location in Skiathos town but quiet. Comfortable and spacious rooms. And beds are great! The hotel restaurant is one of the best we've ever tried. The quality and choice of food is excellent(even fresh fish), service and atmosphere by the pool are superb. We come to Skiathos every year and La Piscine is definitely the best hotel we stayed by far.
Very polite and helpful staff. Good breakfast.
The staff and service in the main were excellent. Little things, e.g. towels put out by the pool, were done well. Nothing was really too much trouble The music from the poolside bar, especially after midnight, became very annoying
Olga from the reception, she was so genuine kind and service minded!
The staff were extremely accomodating
Very friendly staff, convenient location. Breakfast was below average, need to notify reception if you want your aircondition switched on as there is no control from the room. Also carpets in main reception need changing as they are dusty and they smell.
location close to the town center but not exactly in the center is a perfect compromise through amenities,useful tips and relax.
I loved staying at La Piscine art Hotel. It has the perfect location in town. Not to far from the centre and close to all bars! I ate at the the hotels restaurant and the food was amazing! The fish was fresh and the service very professional. Plus the atmosphere around the pool with candles was very serene. I definitely recommend that you try the restaurant. The rooms are clean and all the staff very friendly, warm and welcoming.
The view from the balcony is breathtaking and the staff extremely polite and helpful.Ideal for relaxation, away from crowds and noise.
Cleaning services work very well, so the rooms are very clean. Also the ladies at the reception desk are friendly and helpful Nothing to do with Greek hospitality and definitely not a four star hotel (hardly a three star). Very noisy rooms (both from other rooms, road and cleaning staff), no friendly services at pool or restaurant that only serves very average buffet food.
Great design. Well run. Location. Very hard bed.
Very nice view from the room, friendly staff, very good breakfast buffet. There is a beautiful beach close by, but belongs to a different hotel (extra fee needed)
Our room had great view.It was comfortable,relaxing and simple without unnecessary luxury.The stuff was helpful and friendly without being too formal and overly polite.The dinner was good and you can enjoy it around the pool in a relaxing atmosphere.Many beaches are close to the hotel.
Liked the architecture, great view, breakfast and bar, friendly staff, stylish public rooms,nice bathroom, lots of space for luggage Horrible metal bed bases that cut your legs as you brush past them. Pillows could have been softer (recommend the hotel gets down pillows?) Room was a bit soulless, could have more character. Though buffet dinner was bland and overpriced. How about some hooks to hang things.
Location, the unique architecture and the peace!Also the room was excellent. Due to being built into cliff not a large area around the pool resulting in limited number of beds being available. Large amount of steps but have to accept that due to location!
The view was excellent. Make sure that you ask for a room at high floors otherwise there in no good view. Rooms were clean. Again magnificent sea view. The breakfast buffet was poor. Not enough variety, and not enough quantity. If you went there in the last 20 minutes before buffet closed, most of the trays were empty.
The room was very large and nicely decorated. The restaurant only served buffet meals. The view from our deluxe sea view suite was partially obstructed by another building.
The location fantastic.The stuff very friendly & helpfull too. The breakfast was good enough.The room confortable & with great sea-view. More carefull clearing the bathroom.Satelite-tv with only 3or 4 international channels should not be called satelite-tv at all. The internet server was out of order at least for a week.(Unacceptable for a 4-star hotel). The time schedule of the pool should not be ending at 18.30. It is too early.
We enjoyed the location of the hotel, its facilities. Hotel staff was also very friendly. We hope to come back someday. Thank you!
The surrounding scenery was excellent. The hotel's gardens were artistically designed. The breakfast buffet had everything I expected. Even though the room was spacious, there was no bathtub but a small shower.
Great location, overlooking beach with good facilities on beach. Very helpful staff with all furnishings to a high standard Very quiet during the evening with no atmosphere around the bar areas - this impacted by close proximity to Skiathos town.
The breakfast in the morning was of very good quality with a lot of selection. The price per night did not represent the overall services it was providing
Lovely pool and pool bar. Nice private beach. Good breakfast buffet. Hotel spotlessly clean. easy access to Skiathos town. Had dinner in hotel on first night and meal was not that nice.
don't give the same breakfast every day.
The view is excellent and in front of the beach. Ideal for families. The kindergarden is in the basement next to the toilletes and therefore it is moisty.
great staff, especially at the reception and at the pool bar,perfect location, close to the city of Skiathos,confortable rooms 1/very poor breakfast for the 5 stars hotel, every morning the same 2/ first 3 days of our stay the beach was not clean 3/too many people and not enough umbrellas
The staff were brilliant - very friendly personal service. Very helpful - though sometimes a bit slow at seeing that we were trying to get their attentionby the pool but it didn't matter - the rooms was very nicely appointed. We were sad to leave as we had had a delightful sejour there. The first room we were shown had a roof which if one was sitting on the balcony obscured the view of the sea - we paid 50€ per day extra to get a better view - the room had a jacuzzi so we did get something extra
A quiet location with nice courtyard having a large pool and great breakfast at the poolside. The rooms were clean and bathroom was spacious. The staff were very friendly. Not easy access with a hire care and its a bit of a walk from the ferry (but the walk is flat and so not really a problem)
The Bourtzi was a great hotel. In fact everything about it ticked all the boxes for us. From location,cleanliness,breakfasts and most inportant the staff. They were loverly people. would hope to ga again. No
The hotel is comfortable, clean, well serviced. The location is superb.
spacious room and good location no
The hotel location, room, facilities, the hotel owners and all staff were 1st class and enabled us to have a wonderful relaxing holiday. Only that we were unable to stay longer than 2 weeks and are unfortunately unable to return until next year!
It's in the middle of the Skiathos town. Breakfast was every day the same.
discreetly managed no
Friendly staff and an excellent location in the centre of Skiathos Town but it still managed to feel like it wasn't in town as it was quiet. the breakfast fare was of good quality but was repetitive.
The lovely bar and the decor
Friendly ,stress free

How did your partner feel when you were pregnant?
I've just been reading this beautifully written article written by a dad-to-be about his perspective on his partner Peta's pregnancy. It got me thinking back to how my husband felt when I was pregnant. Whenever he felt my tummy the baby seemed to stop moving and so it was harder for him to connect with the baby than me. Since the moment our baby was born he has been a fab dad and the delight of our little lad! Was your partner able to create a bond with your baby when you were pregnant? A friend of mine had a 4d scan in pregnancy so her husband could experience the baby moving as much as she could feel it! Has anyone else had a 4d scan and, if so, are you pleased you had one?

That was a really neat article. I know that my husband was thrilled when we finally became pregnant. It took us two years of trying so we both endured the ups and downs of TTC together. After I got my first positive pregnancy test he bought tons of books written for Dads-to-be because he's just that kind of guy
When we found out we were having twins...well, he was excited but I could also tell he was a little scared about how we would both handle and afford it but all worked out perfectly!
I did not have a 4D but I know several people who have and they were neat to see.

Mu husband was very excited when I got pregnant, every time. Our last baby was a big surprise, I was actually kind of upset, but he was still happy through and through and convinced me that everything would be OK. As always, he was right. Now we have four beautiful children and I wouldn't change that for anything in the world.

My husband was very happy. He likes to have many children since he came from a big family and I came from small. And he never showed something that he doesn't like any of my 2 pregnancies. I was kinda scared of the 2nd son because it was unexpected but still he showed support and love to me and the baby.
It is really nice to have him to love me and supports me and he is also a great provider. I am very thankful for that.

Ah - how nice it is to read your experiences of how supportive your husbands have been during pregnancy.
There's so much information out there aimed at us ladies but sometimes I think some more aimed at partners would be useful for them. I know my husband wants to feel fully included in all my pregnancies. Let's hear it for the great supportive partners out there!

My husband was great with my first pregnancy. It took him awhile to warm up to the idea of actually deciding to try for a baby but when he finally decided to try, and I became pregnant, he sent me flowers at work, from the florist. He sent 7 white roses (one for each year we had been married), 2 white roses (one representing him, and the other representing me) and one pink rose bud (representing the baby I was carrying (he wanted a girl, and we had tried for a girl).
During my pregnancy with her, every time my husband would push on my belly, she would "kick" back. It was the funniest thing and my husband loved playing that game with her (my belly wasn't so sure about all the "pressing" from him, and the "kicking" from her).
He was a great labour coach and that whole pregnancy/birth experience was the best, from the standpoint of having his support.

That sounds wonderful Kate! Ahhh flowers - I will have to get my husband to read this post.....!

to turn your laptop into an AP all you have to do is to have a wifi-card, usb-pci-pcmcia, that supports injection. Then you can use airbase-ng to simulate an AP.
Now, if a card supports master mode (depends on drivers) then you can setup an AP even with WPA encryption. The only cards that I know and supports master mode are Atheros based. You can check here:
Compatibility - madwifi-project.org - Trac
You can also download my script from 'old' forum and use it to simulate an AP. You can use it with any card that supports injection or with Atheros based cards in master mode (if supported). Check here:
How to: E-Z setup a Multi Mode WLAN based on a Fake AP - Remote Exploit Forums
I tested with BT4F and is working well at some point except some problems with the madwifi-ng drivers. Very soon I will post a BT4F full compatible version here, which will be the new home for my script.
Hope I helped.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team dominated pretty much from start to finish on Sunday, defeating Radford 4-0 at Franklin Field.
The Quakers (6-5) had four different goalscorers in the game, while at the other end the defense pitched its first shutout of 2012. Penn outshot Radford 18-2, and Carly Sokach was not called upon to make any saves in Sunday's win.
Penn got all the scoring it would need before the match was 15 minutes old when an Elizabeth Hitti shot from the right side was re-directed into the far corner by Sunny Stirewalt. The Quakers had two other goals called back in the half as they outshot the Highlanders 9-0 in the stanza.
There was no need to call any goals back in the second half, as the Red and Blue scored three more times. The first came on a beautiful play that saw Hitti fire a long ball into the goal area. The Radford defense seemed to think the ball was heading out of bounds past the goal, but instead Julie Tahan wasbehind themand caught the napping Highlanders off guard as she re-directed the shot into the goal.
Helene Caniglia had Penn's third goal off a corner that she started. A first Penn shot off the corner was saved, and then Emily Corcoran sentthe ball infrom the right side that was kept out of the goal by a Radford defender. Itended up onCaniglia's stickat the left post, and she easily potted the shot. Corcoran was the recipient on Penn's fourth tally,as she was able to push Alex Agathis' shot that looked like it mightbe saved and going wide. In both cases, the goals were their first of the season.
Penn is back into Ivy League action at home this Friday, hosting Columbia at 6:15 p.m. on Franklin Field.

For anyone to suggest that we as a society have moved past our perceptions about people of color and even women is just wrong.
Unlike in stand up where there are far more women of color, in improv, their presence is sorely lacking.
Another prisoner said the color of the walls in the detention center reminded him of the "color of spit."
She was always camera-ready, matching her clothing to the color scheme of sites where she would be photographed.
Obviously not in color, but you draw your color inspiration from original documents.
She had been rather pale when he entered, but now the color rushed to her face.
God knows it's as soft as silk and just the color of oak leaves in winter.
"It is certainly a strange medley of color," Tranter admitted.
It was a small object, oval, flattened, the color of old ivory.
In color he was manifestly white, for all that dirt and the weather could do to disguise it.
early 13c., "skin color, complexion," from Old French color "color, complexion, appearance" (Modern French couleur), from Latin color "color of the skin; color in general, hue; appearance," from Old Latin colos, originally "a covering" (akin to celare "to hide, conceal"), from PIE root *kel- "to cover, conceal" (see cell).
For sense evolution, cf. Sanskrit varnah "covering, color," related to vrnoti "covers," and also see chroma. Meaning "visible color, color of something" is attested in English from c.1300. As "color as a property of things," from late 14c. Old English words for "color" were hiw ("hue"), bleo.
color col·or (kŭl'ər)
That aspect of the appearance of objects and light sources that may be specified in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation.
That portion of the visible electromagnetic spectrum specified in terms of wavelength, luminosity, and purity.
The general appearance of the skin.
The skin pigmentation of a person not classified as white.
Our Living Language : When beams of colored light are mixed, or added, their wavelengths combine to form other colors. All spectral colors can be formed by mixing wavelengths corresponding to the additive primaries red, green, and blue. When two of the additive primaries are mixed in equal proportion, they form the complement of the third. Thus cyan (a mixture of green and blue) is the complement of red; magenta (a mixture of blue and red) is the complement of green; and yellow (a mixture of red and green) is the complement of blue. Mixing the three additive primaries in equal proportions reconstitutes white light. When light passes through a color filter, certain wavelengths are absorbed, or subtracted, while others are transmitted. The subtractive primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow can be combined using overlapping filters to form all other colors. When two of the subtractive primaries are combined in equal proportion, they form the additive primary whose wavelength they share. Thus overlapping filters of cyan (blue and green) and magenta (blue and red) filter out all wavelengths except blue; magenta (blue and red) and yellow (red and green) transmit only red; and yellow (red and green) and cyan (blue and green) transmit only green. Combining all three subtractive primaries in equal proportions filters out all wavelengths, producing black. Light striking a colored surface behaves similarly to light passing through a filter, with certain wavelengths being absorbed and others reflected. Pigments are combined to form different colors by a process of subtractive absorption of various wavelengths.
Interesting background, esp details about players, etc, as used in sports coverage •A scholar in the mid-1920s wrote of color stuff as the enlivening human interest and spicy, inventive language used by sports writers to avoid mere facts: doing color, spoke of a shot put up by one of the players by calling it ''a Perot hook'': in, out, and in/ I told him I need some color for a magazine piece I'm doing (1938+ Media)

Are you sure that sslstrip is running? When BT5 is first installed, sslstrip won't run with the command "sslstrip". You could do something like "python /pentest/web/sslstrip/sslstrip.py". My preference is to install sslstrip:
cd /pentest/web/sslstrip
python setup.py install
Once the install is done the sslstrip command will work by itself. Also consider updating to sslstrip 0.9. It was released a few days ago and looks like it corrects a few problems including catching gmail logins, which is where I usually do my testing from.

Obama Encourages Citizens to "Civic Hack"
Jason Mick
January 23, 2013 1:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
We're guessing they're not advocating LulzSec 2.0, but the premise is nice
While the Obama administration has not always been on good terms with hackers, clashing with
groups like Anonymous and LulzSec
, it has maintained a strong verbal
push to promote technology and innovation
in the U.S. And while some would contend
its policies
are in fact
stifling innovation
, the White House is having none of that, announcing its June 1-2, 2013 initiative dubbed the "
National Day of Civic Hacking
The White House
on its blog:
National Day of Civic Hacking is a call to action for anyone who wants to make a positive impact on their town, city, and country. A coalition of leading organizations, companies, and government agencies have banded together to issue this challenge with the goal of promoting transparency, participation, and collaboration among governments, startups, and citizens. These partners will support Civic Hacking Day by hosting activities across the country that invite anyone to become part of the civic hacker community—whether you're a newbie or an expert—and by connecting people in person or online during the weekend celebration.
The event is taking place in conjunction with
Random Hacks of Kindness
Code for America's
Brigade meetings and is being modeled after the
Innovation Endeavors'
Super Happy Block Party. A number of Federal agencies, including NASA, the Census Bureau, and the Department of Labor, are participating by offering specific challenges for hackers to work during the event.
This is an opportunity for citizens in every town and city across the Nation to roll up their sleeves, get involved, and work together to improve our society by cultivating an ecosystem for innovation and change. Activities are already being planned in Augusta, GA; Alexandria, VA; Asheville, NC; Austin, TX; Bend, OR; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; Grand Rapids, MI; Honolulu, HI; Lexington, KY; Oakland, CA; Palo Alto, CA; Portland, ME; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, WA; and Tucson, AZ.
Now remember, this is the same administration that approved questionable charges to
send a security researcher to prison for five years
for exposing a gaping hole, which essentially left an open door to AT&T, Inc. (
iPad customers' records
. Such punishments don't necessarily jive with the White House's assertion that hackers have "long worked to improve our country and the world."
However, it's nice to see the White House recognizing the value of the hacking community. It should be interesting to see what kind of events get cooked up for June 1.
Events are occurring across the county. [Image Source: Hack for Change]
Just remember, "civic hacking" may earn you praise, but disclosure-type hacking often earns you condemnation. Even the
most responsible private-disclosures
often lead to repercussions. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. Of course such hacking has done a great job of helping protect everyone's security online by exposing and forcing companies to fix flaws that otherwise could have led to dangerous leaks of personal information. But to our hacker readers: tread softly and carry a big proxy.

Combining industry-leading Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM® technology with valuable telemetry features, the DX3S transmitter represents the most advanced sport-level DSM radio ever developed. RTR drivers and sport racers can add the safety of telemetry and monitor vital vehicle stats right from their transmitter, without any additional equipment. Keep your engine operating in the optimum temperature range, keep an eye on your battery voltage and check out just how fast your vehicle is running, all right from the large LCD readout of the DX3S transmitter. The DX3S transmitter is now compatible with the MR3000 and DSM2® surface receivers too.
