Translation and adaptation of an international questionnaire to measure usage of complementary and alternative medicine (I-CAM-G)
Research methodology
The growing body of data on prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) usage means there is a need to standardize measurement on an international level. An international team has published a questionnaire (I-CAM-Q), but no validation has yet been provided. The aim of the present study was to provide a German measurement instrument for CAM usage (I-CAM-G) which closely resembles the original English version, and to assess it's performance in two potential samples for measuring CAM usage.
The English I-CAM-Q questionnaire was translated into German, and adapted slightly. The resulting I-CAM-G questionnaire was then pre-tested on 16 healthy volunteers, and 12 cognitive interviews were carried out. The questionnaire was employed in a sample of breast cancer patients (N = 92, paper and pencil), and a sample from the general population (N = 210, internet survey). Descriptive analyses of items and missing data, as well as results from the cognitive interviews, are presented in this paper.
The translated questionnaire had to be adapted to be consistent with the German health care system. All items were comprehensible, whereby some items were unambiguous (e.g. CAM use yes/no, helpfulness), while others gave rise to ambiguous answers (e.g. reasons for CAM use), or high rates of missing data (e.g. number of times the CAM modality had been used during the last 3 months). 78% of the breast cancer patients and up to 85% of a sample of the general population had used some form of CAM.
Following methodologically sound and comprehensive translation, adaptation and assessment processes using recognized translation procedures, cognitive interviews, and studying the performance of the questionnaire in two samples, we arrived at a German questionnaire for measuring CAM use which is comparable with the international (English) version. The questionnaire appropriately measures CAM use, with some items being more appropriate than others. We recommend the development of a short version.
Although studies show that interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is growing throughout the world
Secondly, there is no standardized methodology for measuring CAM usage. Surveys may ask about lifetime usage
A systematic review of survey data on CAM usage in cancer patients shows that - apart from the measurement time frame - rates of CAM usage are also largely dependent on whether the participants were interviewed face-to-face or by means of a paper-pencil questionnaire, whether respondents were prompted by means of a list of CAM therapies, and whether surveys restricted CAM usage to particular CAM modalities
As a result of a complete lack of measurement standardization for CAM usage, the National Research Center in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NAFKAM) in Norway carried out a workshop with the aim of developing a standardized questionnaire for measuring international CAM usage. Participants represented different countries (United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Norway, Germany, Sweden and Denmark), came from a wide range of backgrounds (anthropology, sociology, nursing, health services, medicine, public health and pharmacy) and were specialists in different fields (survey design, cross-cultural research), and thus were able to develop a measurement instrument which covered both the most prominent types of CAM, as well as application methods in different countries, the I-CAM-Q
In order to improve data comparability, the next step was to translate the international questionnaire for use in different countries and languages, and to assess it's performance.
The aim of the present study was to provide a German measurement instrument for CAM usage (I-CAM-G) which closely resembles the original English version, and to assess it's performance in two potential samples for measuring CAM usage.
As this is the first attempt to adapt the international questionnaire for use in a non-English-speaking country, experiences gathered here may help others to develop different language versions.
The original I-CAM-Q Questionnaire
The I-CAM-Q contains four sections. Section 1 (on page 1) asks about "Visiting health care providers", section 2 (on page 2) about "Complementary treatments received from physicians (MDs)", section 3 (on page 3) about the "Use of herbal medicine and dietary supplements" and section 4 (on page 4) about "Self-help practices". The treatment modalities are presented in the form of a list, and respondents have to provide information on their usage over the previous 12 months (yes/no) and give details on the number of times the practitioner was seen/the treatment was received over the previous 3 months (except on page 3 where usage of herbal medicine and dietary supplements are asked about: respondents have to tick the remedies they are currently using). Respondents are also asked to indicate whether the CAM therapy was used on account of an acute illness/condition, a long-term illness, to improve general well-being, or for other reasons (if necessary). Finally, respondents are asked to indicate how helpful the CAM treatment had been. Please see the publication of the original version for the entire questionnaire
The I-CAM-G questionnaire
The I-CAM-Q was translated and adapted for use in Germany. As the English version provides no information on the objectives of the questionnaire and gives no details on how to fill it in, we added instructions on the first page of the I-CAM-G. After pre-testing the German version and carrying out cognitive interviews, we then adapted the questionnaire slightly. The final version (please seeaddendum for the German questionnaire) was employed in a breast cancer sample using the paper-pencil-format, and on a sample of the general population using an internet questionnaire (
The questionnaire was translated from English to German according to published guidelines for the translation of measurement instruments
After translating the questionnaire we prepared instructions on how to fill in the questionnaire, which we put on the first page of the I-CAM-G.
We pre-tested the questionnaire on 16 healthy volunteers to figure out how long it takes to fill out the questionnaire. We also made note of every question that was asked while the questionnaire was being filled in, and checked general comprehensibility. After the pre-tests we adapted in particular the format of the questionnaire. As the respondents had difficulties filling in the number of times we decided to offer two different versions of the page during the cognitive interviews. The new version asked about usage "daily, weekly, monthly, less than once a month" whereas the original version asked about the "Number of times you have used this practice in the last 3 months".
Cognitive interviews
After the preliminary pre-test we carried out cognitive interviews with 12 interviewees in order to gain detailed knowledge of the cognitive processes and potential pitfalls encountered when filling in the I-CAM-G. Cognitive interviews were recorded after obtaining consent from the participants. Cognitive interviews use different techniques such as "thinking aloud" and probing
The interviewees were patients of a practitioner of family medicine who either said they were acquainted with CAM, or that they did not use CAM at all, and were volunteering for being interviewed. After cognitive interviews we prepared a final version of the questionnaire in paper-pencil-format (see Table
Figure 1
First page of I-CAM-G (German version, but translated to English)

CAM use in two samples
Collecting data with the I-CAM-G questionnaire comprised two steps:
1) Collecting data on CAM usage in a breast cancer sample, as this is the patient group for which the most data is available (e.g.
2) Collecting data on the population level. Between August and October 2010 we prepared an electronic version for distribution via the internet. We used snow-ball sampling by initially sending out the questionnaire to e-mail addresses from the address-books of the authors CG, MLR, and SS, and asking recipients to fill in the questionnaire and to then forward the link to others.
In order to be able to split groups into frequent and infrequent users of CAM we asked the following introductory question: "What is your preferred choice when you are ill or feeling unwell?", and provided the options to tick: "CAM", "conventional medicine" or "I don't know".
We also present some measurement properties like missing data and validity of herbal and homeopathic remedies here.
This research was carried out in full accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the IRB of the University of Frankfurt/Main, no reference number was assigned as no intervention was carried out.
Data analysis and statistics
The data were stored in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets and imported into IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 for analysis. The analysis of performance measures was descriptive, and we collected data from several groups in order to compare groups of respondents with one another and to compare rates with historical data. No missing data imputation procedures were employed as missing data are a crucial feature when determining data completeness. Rates of missing data will be presented here.
If a patient answered one question from the first column of every page (i.e. set of questions like "have you been/seen/taken…") with "yes" and left out all the others items, we counted the left out answers as a "no".
Translation and pretest
During the translation process it became clear that adaptations were necessary to ensure the questionnaire was comprehensible to users of the German health care system, e.g. there is no herbalist in the German system, but a medical specialist for CAM (Arzt für Naturheilverfahren) and a non-medical CAM specialist (Heilpraktiker). Finally, we also had to change the format from upright to the landscape format after doing the pretests. Respondents reported also having difficulties filling in the number of times they had used a particular treatment during the previous 3 months, especially on page 4 where techniques that are generally used regularly are asked about (yoga, relaxation).
Cognitive interviews
It was easy for those patients who either know a great deal about CAM (N=2), or do not use CAM at all (N=2), to answer the questions. However, it was difficult for those who had only little experience of using CAM therapies because they often did not know the difference between different therapies, how to distinguish one practitioner from another, and how to differentiate between remedies and supplements. Even the difference between a non-medical and medical provider was not always clear to patients. The cognitive interviews resulted in our differentiating between osteopathy, chiropractic and manual therapies. We had first thought these should be lumped together into one item because physiotherapists (medical therapists, but non-MDs) employ all three treatments in Germany. At this stage the "spiritual healer", "spiritual healing" and "attending a traditional healing ceremony" were scrapped, as was the item (newly introduced for Germany) "anthroposophic remedies" and "anthroposophic medicine", as respondents had problems with these items. They were either confused by them (mostly spiritual healing), or had no idea how to distinguish between anthroposophic remedies, and homeopathic and herbal medicine.
Providing the main reason for using CAM proved to be challenging for respondents: they either felt that acute symptoms or chronic conditions could not be differentiated from "well-being", or gave the main reason for visiting the health care provider, regardless of whether the visit was associated with CAM usage.
Manual therapies are difficult to differentiate from each other: there were a lot of questions like "what does a chiropractor do", "does osteopathy classify as chiropractice", "do you mean manual therapy given by a physiotherapist or by a chiropractor", etc.
On page 3, where respondents are asked to fill in brand names of remedies and dietary supplements, they were often unable to remember the correct name, or even the main ingredient of a remedy. Even if they could remember the name of the product, it was often difficult for them to decide to which group the remedy belonged.
Regarding the "number of times" they had sought CAM therapy, it was difficult for respondents to give a specific number whenever it was not easy to separate usage into discrete entities (taking remedies daily over a period of two weeks, taking Yoga classes twice a week, praying regularly several times a day, etc.). All interviewees preferred the newly introduced response option on page 4 "daily, weekly, monthly, less than once a month", but we also had to add "not at all".
CAM use
Breast cancer sample
Ninety-two breast cancer patients filled out the questionnaire. 20 patients did not use any form of CAM. 72 answered at least one question in the questionnaire with yes (please see Figure
1. Visiting health care providers:
26% (N=24) of the 92 respondents had visited at least one CAM practitioner. The highest use was given for medical CAM specialists (Arzt für Naturheilverfahren, 11%) and for non-medical CAM practitioners (Heilpraktiker, 7%; please see Table
2. Complementary treatments received from physicians:
28% (N=26) of the 92 breast cancer patients had been given one or more CAM therapies by a physician, while 68% (N=63) had not received any CAM treatment, or had not visited a physician during the previous 12 months at all (see Figure
3. se of herbal medicine and dietary supplements:
60% (N=55) of the 92 breast cancer patients said they had used at least one product, while 34% (N=31) had not used any CAM product at all. In this sample, the highest use was given for vitamins/supplements (40%), but herbal and homeopathic remedies had also been used frequently (see Table
4. Self-help practices:
55% (N=51) patients had used at least one of the self-help practices, and only 41% (N=38) had not used any self-help practices. The highest usage was given for praying (42%), the lowest for Qigong and Tai Chi (4%).
Figure 2
Flow chart for samples
Flow chart for samples.
"Number of times you have used this practice during the last 3 months" was changed and the response options "daily, weekly, monthly, less than once a month and not at all" were provided. Most patients used self-help practices like relaxation techniques, meditation and yoga weekly, while practices like visualization and praying were generally used daily.
Reasons for using CAM and "helpfulness"
Reasons for seeing a CAM practitioner were most often to improve well-being, but also to treat a long-term illness (see Table
Internet sample
214 respondents filled in the internet questionnaire. Four (2%) of these did not answer any questions. The sample was split into groups, depending on the answer to the introductory question ("what is your preferred choice when you are ill or feeling unwell?"), 71 (34%) answered "CAM" (referred to as frequent users throughout this article), 123 (59%) answered "conventional medicine" (referred to as infrequent users), and 16 (8%) answered "I don't know". For further analysis we left out these 16 data sets as the answer does not distinguish adequately between groups of respondents. Overall, 4 (6%) frequent users and 23 (19%) infrequent users had used no CAM at all during the previous 12 months. Figure
1. Visiting health care providers:
52 (73%) of the 71 frequent users had visited at least one CAM practitioner. In this sample 41% had visited a homeopath, 34% a non-medical CAM specialist and 31% a medical CAM specialist. Number of times the providers were seen during the previous 3 months ranged from 0–9 (please see Table
2. Complementary treatments received from physicians:
48 (68%) frequent users had received at least one CAM therapy from a physician. The most commonly used CAM methods were herbs (46%), followed by homeopathy (34%) and acupuncture (15%). Number of times the CAM treatments were prescribed or used during the previous 3 months ranged from 0–270 (homeopathy).
53 (43%) infrequent users had received at least one CAM therapy from a physician. Herbs were the most common choice (36%). Number of times the CAM treatments were prescribed or used during the previous 3 months ranged from 0–20.
3. Use of Herbal Medicine and Dietary Supplements:
62 (87%) frequent users had used at least one CAM product, while 79 (64%) infrequent users had used at least one of these remedies.
About 58% of frequent users used herbs, 53% homeopathic remedies and 50% vitamins/minerals. The highest rates for use of remedies and dietary supplements in the infrequent users group were given for vitamins/minerals (38%) and herbs (35%).
Infrequent users tended to prefer compound remedies to the pure herbal or classical homeopathic remedies favored by the frequent users.
4. Self-help practices
40 (56%) frequent users practiced at least one self-help technique, while 59 (48%) infrequent users did so.
In the frequent users group, 35% used relaxation techniques and 25% did meditation. In the infrequent users sample the most commonly used self-help practice were relaxation techniques (26%).
Reasons for using CAM and "helpfulness"
Reasons for seeing a CAM practitioner were most often to improve well-being, but also to treat a long-term illness (see Table
Measurement properties
Only a few respondents failed to fill in entire pages (data not shown), but the amount of missing data was highest for the numbers of times practitioners were seen (the number of valid answers can be found in Table
Section 1: visiting health care providers
About 2/3 of the respondents from the breast cancer sample who ticked a CAM modality also filled in the item "No. of times" (please see valid N in 3rd column of Table
Section 2: Complementary treatments received from physicians
Missing data in response to the question "No. of times" ranged from 20% to 83% in the breast cancer sample, and was much lower in the internet sample.
Section 3: Use of Herbal Medicine and Dietary Supplements
Knowledge of herbal remedies (80%) and vitamins (89%) was quite good in the breast cancer sample (brand name referred to the correct category, data not shown), whereas only 56% of homeopathic remedies genuinely belonged to the category of homeopathic remedy (others were complex remedies, fruit essences, or herbal formulas like Echinacea or mistletoe). 10 products were placed in "other CAM remedies". These were spices, minerals, herbs, complex remedies and tea formulae. Missing data referring to current use totalled only 20% in this sample.
Missing data for the number of times remedies had been used totalled less than 10% in the internet sample.
Knowledge of Vitamins and Minerals (82%) was fairly good in the frequent users group, whereas only 75% of homeopathic remedies and 66% of herbs were assigned to the right category. Among homeopathic remedies, most wrong placements were herbs and among herbs most wrong placements were homeopathic remedies.
Knowledge of vitamins and minerals in the infrequent users group was also quite good (92% of products were placed in the correct category). Knowledge of homeopathic remedies (77%) and herbs (74%) was a little lower.
Section 4: Self-Help-Practices
Missing data was highest for giving the number of times for "Praying for own health" (39%) in the breast cancer sample. It is of note that "No of times" was changed to "daily" and "less than once a month" in all samples, and these answers were filled in by nearly all patients from the internet sample (92-100%).
We conclude from our data that the questionnaire appropriately measures CAM treatment options sought or received during the previous year, provided that some cultural adaptations are made to the English version.
As missing data may threaten validity, it is worth looking at rates of missing responses very closely to assess measurement properties of a questionnaire. It can be concluded that the rate of missing responses was acceptable for overall CAM usage within the previous 12 months, and for ratings of helpfulness. Information on the number of times a certain CAM modality had been used during the previous 3 months was rather limited, as missing data rates were as high as 50% for these items. Due to its format, the paper-pencil-version of the questionnaire yielded more missing data than the internet version. The reason for choosing a CAM treatment option was not filled in according to the pre-defined response options as respondents did not differentiate between acute and chronic conditions, and improving their general well-being. Non-CAM users tended not to fill in the I-CAM-G in the paper-pencil version, and returned a blank questionnaire saying that "this" does not apply to them.
Possible Bias
The steps undertaken in this study can be considered to represent a comprehensive adaptation of an English questionnaire and the study gives results for different groups of possible respondents as well as assesses missing data. However, this is by no means a full validation study, but rather looks at the performance of the instrument in these groups. The groups are chosen in accordance with other studies
Comparison with other studies
We looked at the performance of the ICAM-Q by comparing results with historical data, as was done in another recently published study
In our study the overall results for CAM usage in the breast cancer sample resemble those reported in other studies in cancer patients in German-speaking countries like Switzerland and Europe
There was significant misplacing of herbal and homeopathic remedies in our study, when respondents were asked to put them in pre-specified categories. This is exactly in line with other findings, which showed that misinterpretation are likely as respondents do base their ratings on established definitions, and even incorporate notions of self-concept
By means of a methodologically sound translation and an adaptation process, we were able to transform a published international questionnaire for measuring CAM use (I-CAM-Q) into a German version of the measurement instrument (I-CAM-G). The I-CAM-G is comparable with the international (English) measurement instrument and is also suitable for use within the German health care system. Adaptions to the English version proved to be necessary, and these adaptations must take the policy situation in a specific country into account (e.g. reimbursement scheme of non-medical providers) and ethnomedical traditions.
All in all, CAM use could appropriately be measured using the I-CAM-G, and other research shows that prompting is the best method to elicitate practices used
However, we would recommend developing a short version of the questionnaire which nevertheless retains the basic structure of the original (4 parts asking about CAM treatments, providers seen, particular remedies, self-help practices), but does not ask for details on the number of times during the previous 3 months and reasons for use. The items referring to "number of times during the last 3 months" bear the risk of remaining unanswered, thus resulting in missing data, and the reason for seeking CAM could then not be reliably answered. The short version should include items related to subjectively perceived helpfulness, and might skip the CAM modality under which a particular remedy has to be placed, but instead ask for a list of remedies. In case one would be interested in measuring CAM treatments in order to compare use of CAM options to use of medical non-CAM options one might consider leaving out the self-help practices. This short version would allow to feasibly measure important issues like visiting CAM providers, use of complementary therapies and remedies and perceived helpfulness of these options.
The I-CAM-G is suitable for measuring different kind of CAM therapies and techniques and their perceived helpfulness. More detailed information on number of times and reasons for use could not be adequately measured, at least not when respondents are asked to fill in the paper-pencil-questionnaire or an internet survey by themselves.

Granada Broadcasting of the United Kingdom is eyeing Indian TV networks for collaboration. While confirming that talks are on with Indian broadcasters, the company did not divulge any names yet. But, it is believed that New Delhi-based production house NDTV, which is planning to launch its own entertainment channel by the end of this year, is one of the companies in talks with UK-based Granada for a possible tie-up.
Even as NDTV officials have admitted to holding discussions with some broadcasters for the new channel to be called NDTV World, they're tight-lipped about who these broadcasters are.
Sources in the industry say that it makes sense for Granada and NDTV to discuss the possibility of a pact for NDTV World, as their focus is similar. NDTV World, which will target the international audience and largely focus on English language entertainment and infotainment programmes, will match the thrust of Granada.
Granada has 9,000 hours of programmes including 1,500 hours of original programming for ITV, the UK's national commercial network. Granada's programmes include hits such as Coronation Street, Stars In Their Eyes, Tonight With Trevor McDonald, Better Homes, The Royle Family, Cold Feet, Always and Everyone and This Morning.
Granada is the UK's leading commercial broadcaster accounting for nearly a third of the total UK television advertising market. ITV, which sources its programmes from Granada, is the UK's most popular television channel with around one third of all viewing.
Granada is the largest and most successful company in the UK commercial television sector. It owns six major ITV licences — Granada TV, LWT, Yorkshire TV, Tyne Tees TV, Meridian Broadcasting and Anglia TV, covering 15 million homes.

K9 Trail
Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the Telemark cross country ski or snowshoe trails on or off a leash. Across the road from the entrance to our parking lot (by the Telemark sign) is a trail where people take their dogs. The trail is suitable for snowshoeing and slow classic skiing as it is not groomed. The K9 trail is free to use as it is off the Telemark property.

Nathan came home from school on Friday with a little gift for me. Aw! A special card he had made himself, and also some cards with a photo of his artwork on them. Cute.
This is what the inside of the card said, not sure if you can read it... it just says he loves me, and thanks for taking him to the strawberry patch and toy store. Ha!
Here is a closeup of the card
This is not the best picture, but there were photos of each of the classmates, with a little flower they are holding... and it just says Happy Mother's Day from the Kindergarten Class.
Here is a closeup of the flower, they were made with the Cricuts cutting machine. I so need one of those!
After church, we headed to Laumeier Sculpture Park for their brunch and the art fair. And, yes, my kids are dressed up in Pineapple matching clothes. I love to torture them. Ha!
We even let Brian come along. Actually, my Mom/Dad and Jeff/Tracy were there, too, but I don't have a photo. However, they took a photo of us while we were there and its supposed to be online soon on some sort of online newspaper. We will see if its a good one, and I may share it!
The food was all from Whole Foods, and it was delish!
Here is Autumn dancing to some live music
We browsed by a lot of art booths, then hit the kids craft tents. Nathan and Autumn made wind hangers (or whatever they are called) first.
Then they did a neat little wooden craft. Autumn LOVED because it involved glue. And, she's Miss Messy.

Although it pains me to say it, I'm all out of tomatoes, and everyone at my house is looking for something different to taste test, so I'm moving on. I think this just might be the last tomato recipe of the season :(.
The end of summer always catches me by surprise, even though I start watching the calendar, and thinking about dreading it by the end of July. One day I just wake up, and the sun's shadows look different, and the air feels different – hot and cool at the same time, and the sky is the cloudless brilliant blue that we only get here in September, and I know it's over. I'm still in shorts and flip flops, but I start to glance over at my lonely sweaters and boots. I'm still grilling, but I start to turn on my oven once in a while. Then before I know it, winter squash, pumpkin, apples, pears start to replace the summer tomatoes, zucchini and herbs in my grocery basket. And I really know it's over. Continue Reading..

Examining the Debate over Eminent Domain
Last year the U.S. Supreme Court said governments can seize property even if they give the land to private developers. That spurred ballot measures in seven states this year, including California. Tony Cox weighs both sides of the issue with Bob Woodson, founder and president of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in Washington, D.C. and Jerry Rosenfeld, president of the JR Group in Detroit.
FARAI CHIDEYA, host:
And now eminent domain and the national debate. NPR's Tony Cox spoke with Bob Woodson, the founder and president of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in Washington, D.C. He was also joined by Jerry Rosenfeld, president of the JR Group in Detroit, Michigan.
Mr. Rosenfeld began the conversation by discussing a proposal in Michigan that seeks to strip the government of its land-taking power by amending the state constitution. It's a measure, he says, that threatens economic growth.
Mr. JERRY ROSENFELD (President, JR Group, Detroit Michigan): If you have $100,000 home, and we buy, that's a fair market - it's just compensation to fair price. That person is entitled to additional benefits. And those benefits will add up to maybe $20,000, or $20,000 to $25,000 in addition. So he gets his base program, his package is a hundred and a quarter. The new law will say that he's entitled to not less than a $125,000, plus the $20,000 or $25,000 extra in benefits.
And he has permission now to go to court and say, well, you know, I don't want a 125 percent. I want a 126 percent, or maybe I want 200 percent or 300 percent, there's no cap. This is going to stop classic infrastructure development throughout the state of Michigan.
Mr. BOB WOODSON (President, National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise): Yeah, Jerry, this is the same argument that was used in the '60s to justify the total wiping out of the commercial district in the Hayti section of Durham, North Carolina. And the promise was that these businesses and these residents would be relocated.
Today, 50 acres are still vacant, and they never rebuilt. And it represents a total destabilization of it. Ten homes in Hurst, Texas, were condemned to move while the spouses of the two homes were dying of cancer.
Another one in Tyler, Texas, they moved the women out of her house and then moved an owner of a golf course in her home. And many public officials have proprietary interests in some of this development because they're also business developers.
TONY COX: Does it boil down simply to the fact that the owners of the property want to get what they consider a fair market price before the city or the state or whomever takes their property and does whatever they decide to do?
Mr. ROSENFELD: Well, if it is a federally funded program, and that means that if there's $1 of federal funds in the project, then the agency, whoever it may be whose buying the property, must comply with a federal law, that is the Uniform Relocation Act.
This law is very equitable. There are very few cases - there are very few instances where someone is abused by this. And there's very few condemnation cases involved. If it's a state program, now the state doesn't necessarily have to follow the federal rules if there's no federal dollars in it. And there could become abuses with that. I'm not questioning that. And people should follow the federal law and the abuses wouldn't be there.
COX: Now what about...
Mr. WOODSON: Well, you should read about the quick-take provisions in many states. Under the quick-take, if a government deposits an estimate for the compensation with the courts amount of money, it can take immediate title to the property, get possession immediately within a few months, level the property. That means that the property is immediately bulldozed, leaving their owner to fight in court about whether the new empty lot that remains was legally condemned. These are the provisions that are in place in many states.
Mr. ROSENFELD: And you could fight necessity, and if you fight the necessity, they can't touch your property until the necessity is proven.
Mr. WOODSON: If you fight the necessity, and many homeowners don't even know about it.
COX: And let me ask you both. Do either of you see a situation, a scenario in which property can be taken via eminent domain and used in a private development process but that purpose does benefit the public?
Mr. ROSENFELD: Yes.
COX: Bob, do you see that too?
Mr. WOODSON: No. This has been used time and time again to justify the taking of people. If I own a business and the government determines that my gross sales are - and the number of the employees that I have are not enough, then you can take it and give to a larger business that hires more people. Is that fair to the small business owner? What about my potential for becoming a large business and growing?
Mr. ROSENFELD: Bob, your issue is just compensation. You're...
Mr. WOODSON: No. I'm not.
Mr. ROSENFELD: Your idea is valuing...
Mr. WOODSON: Some people don't want to sell under any condition.
Mr. ROSENFELD: ...your argument is just money.
Mr. WOODSON: It isn't money.
Mr. ROSENFELD: I - that's not the question asked here. The question that they asked here is is there a situation where a government would take a piece property and then in - from an individual, and then turn it around and give it to private enterprise? That's the question is on the table right now.
COX: No. And whether or not in doing so that private enterprise it inures to the public's benefit.
Mr. ROSENFELD: If anyone's familiar with the city of Detroit, we have a lot of blight here. I mean we have a lot of problems, we have a lot of issues because the automotive industry and the downturn of the industry.
But we have huge areas of property that are vacant. Let's take an area that's defined as a blighted area. And there is someone who in the middle of the blighted area that is non-conforming and we have the opportunity of a development in that property to revitalize that particular area through blight and through condemnation.
Now we happen to have done this - as people are familiar with brand new stadiums, the Lions and the Tigers - just north of here was an area called Brush Park, and this was as scary, blighted, drug-infested area as you could find in the city of Detroit. Today, because they had the ability to condemn the property, to take the people out of there - and which they did, and some of the people stayed and they had the opportunity to stay in by the homes that are in there - and they went forward and they have a great development over there.
Mr. WOODSON: You see, Jerry assumes that everybody has the same definition of blight. A place where there are rats and roaches and trash and drugs and - but that is not the case. For instance, there are neighborhoods on colonial homes in Lakewood, Ohio, they were defined as blighted because the yards were too small and they lacked two-car attached garages. The city's redevelopment plans call for upscale condominiums and retail, and therefore they condemned these properties.
So when you use the word blight, it's an emotional term and the assumption is that it is defined singly. It is not the case in (unintelligible).
Mr. ROSENFELD: And, Bob, you're right. That is - it is an issue. I think there should be a much better definition of the term in blight and how it is used.
COX: Given the actions of the Supreme Court with regard to imminent domain. Now that it's falling back into the hands of the states to decide, do you both agree or disagree with the ability of the states to determine the parameters for eminent domain state by state?
Mr. ROSENFELD: They always have.
Mr. WOODSON: They always have. And 40 percent of the cases brought before the courts were ruled in favor of the complainants against the government, and I think that trend is continuing.
Mr. ROSENFELD: Yeah, but...
Mr. WOODSON: There's something more than money here. People have an emotional attachment to their home and many don't want to sell it at any price.
Mr. ROSENFELD: Emotional...
COX: Jerry, this is the last word.
Mr. ROSENFELD: Emotional attachment to property is a huge issue, but it's non-compensable by the U.S. Constitution. And next, a lot of this economic development stuff is going to be challenged in the court and it's going to fall apart because the Poletown case isn't there anymore to support the positions of these governmental agencies.
Mr. WOODSON: Well there is a consensus, Democrats and Republicans at the local level, that are supporting homeowners. And you are going to see the trend against government intrusion into private property like this for alleged public purposes.
COX: This is the good place for us to stop. Robert Woodson, Jerry Rosenfeld, thank you very much for a spirited and enlightening conversation.
Mr. ROSENFELD: Tony, thank you very much and have a great day.
Mr. WOODSON: And thank you.
CHIDEYA: That was NPR's Tony Cox with Jerry Rosenfeld, president of the JR Group in Detroit, Michigan, and Bob Woodson, founder and president of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise.

Post titles overlap article text. How do I fix?
Hi. I have just started a new blog, and I've noticed that unless I use a very short title to each of my articles, the title will overlap on top of the actual text of the article. Is there a way to correct this?
If you want to take a look at what I mean, my blog title is MMAChalet.com.
You will see it on the post on the top of the page. As you'll notice, the space between lines in the title seem to be double spaced. This seems excessive. Can I make it single spacing instead? Also, how do I make the text begin AFTER the title, not on top of it?
I am using the Brownline theme, if this is an important piece of information. Brownline is one of the free themes that can be downloaded from WordPress.org.
BTW, I am using Firefox, and this problem is visible with Firefox. I have not tried any other browsers to see if the overlap problem is just in Firefox, or if it appears in all browsers.
I'm sure there is a simple solution to this problem. I just don't know what it is. Thanks in advance for your help.
- The topic 'Post titles overlap article text. How do I fix?' is closed to new replies.

Q:Instructions how to set up and use.
1 answer
A:Instructions to use ratchet tie-down: 1. Measure your truck or trailer to make sure you have the right length of tie downs. They come in different sizes, so use ones that cover your bed. 2. Prepare your truck or car trailer for use of the ratchet tie-downs. Make sure they have the proper anchor points. Practice a little ratcheting by pumping it while using these straps before loading your items. 3. Place your items in your truck or trailer so that they do not have room to move around and can be tied down properly. Make sure the anchor points are not covered by anything. 4. Put each tie-down through the anchor points. Keep the loose ends facing out, toward you. If you don't, you must take it off and redo this step. This will keep the tie-down straight and make it easier to ratchet it down. 5. Pull the loose tie-down and tighten it by using the ratchet. Pump the handle as you tighten it. This is the ratchet part of the tie-downs. You should see the tie-down tighten around your cargo. You may need only one tie-down. 6. Use at least four tie-downs for hauling a car. Two of those should be industrial tie-downs. This will keep your car secure should the trailer jackknife. Make sure the anchor points are not covered up. Repeat Step 4 on how they should be placed on the trailer. Double-check these before leaving with your car. 7. Secure heavy furniture or appliances either in your truck or on a trailer by throwing a tie-down over the cargo and hooking it to an anchor point. Pull the slack out of it and pump it until tightened down. For further assistance, please feel free to call us at 1-877-238-2623 or visit your nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our representatives would be more than happy to assist you.

Don't stay here

Our stay was horrible, there was mold everywhere, the chairs were cut, the air conditioner was falling off the wall. I can keep going on all that's wrong. Don't stay here.
Staying for SeaWorld visit
July 17, 2017
Close enough to get to SeaWorld easily. Hard to find the correct turnoff from the highway, frontage road be careful not to miss it because it's a long circle back around. Nice and clean room, small but functional well maintained pool. Helpful staff.

NAD C390DD Direct Digital Powered DAC Amplifier
The NAD C 390DD is not only a new concept in amplification, but also in audio system architecture. First introduced in the now famous NAD M2 Direct Digital Amplifier, Direct Digital technology has been praised for its transparent, dynamic and detailed sound quality. Like the M2, the C 390DD has no analogue stages in the signal path, keeping music in the digital domain right up to the speaker outputs. All preamp functions are executed in the digital domain without the phase shift, noise and distortion that plagues all analogue designs regardless of price or pedigree. Its 35-bit architecture and 108MHz master clock also make Direct Digital one of the most accurate DAC technologies available.
Continuous Output Power (ref. 20Hz - 20kHz, rated THD):
8 ohm ≥160W
4 ohm ≥160W
Rated Distortion (THD, with AES17 and AP passive 20kHz LP filters): <0.003% (ref. 20Hz - 20kHz, 500mW - rated power)
Clipping Power: >165W (ref. 1kHz, 8 ohm, 0.1% THD)
Maximum Output Current: >18A
Signal / Noise Ratio:
>95dB (A-weighted, ref. 1W)
>124dB (A-weighted, ref. 250W)

There's a lot of talk coming out of Washington, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates assured Congress on Thursday that the Pentagon's mission in Libya is "much more limited" than regime change and said American troops would not be sent to the country, even in a training capacity, "as long as I'm in this job." —PZS
The Christian Science Monitor:
The US military will not provide any troops on the ground in Libya, either to aid operations or to train the rebels, Secretary Gates assured lawmakers. "Not as long as I'm in this job."
That said, he conceded that rebels could use some help if they hope to overthrow Col. Qaddafi. "What the opposition needs is some training, some command and control, and some organization," Gates said. "It's pretty much a pickup ballgame at this point."
But that training will not come from US troops, Gates stressed repeatedly in his testimony before the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. NATO allies could take this role, he suggested. "Frankly, there are many countries that can do that," he said.

|#32 Game Over, Man!
|Hosted By
| Metal Locked v3
|Half of Steel the Chameleon
|Disarm the bomb hidden in the mansion
|Writer of Episode
This episode has been bought to you by the letter J, followed by the letters, E, S, S, E, R, O, O in that order.
Guess what kids? This episode has swearing and sexual references. Maybe more than you're used to.
What happened last time... 3.14 threw Ginourm into the ocean, Henry came up with a PLAN OF ACTION, and the producers revealed their PLAN OF ACTION.
Metal Locked v3: Attention all participants in the competition. Participant classification Henry would like to speak.
Henry: What the hell, man? Why did you suddenly go all robotic?
Metal Locked v3: *bzzt* Sorry, I... uhh... glitched.
Steel: Right...
Luz: So... what's your plan, Henry?
Henry: My plan is that we...
Nightwolf: I JUST REALIZED I'M NAKED... wait...
Heart: Oh, Nightwolf, you're so attractive
Tulip Nook: Hands off, he's mine!
Heart: I have the feeling I was just part of a very sexual oriented imaginative tale
Tulip Nook: Same here
Nightwolf: Heh... I'm gonna go get dressed
Henry: Anyway, my plan is for us to...
Pesh: Does anybody else hear that mysterious ticking noise?
Steel: Crap! That's a bomb!
Bloop: How do you know?
Steel: Uhh... not because it was scripted or anything...
Henry: My plan can wait for later, we need to disarm that bomb!
Metal Locked v3: Everybody assemble into these pairs:
Vulcan and Ybrik
3.14 and Purple Koopa Bro.
Heart and Bloop
Clyde and Luz
YoshiEgg Nook by himself
YoshiEgg Nook: Yup?
Metal Locked v3: I am sorry, fatal calculation flaw. Recalculating...
Steel: Something wrong?
Metal Locked v3: Steel, due to an odd number of competitors you shall participate. Now, to continue with the list:
Tulip Nook and Henry
Henry: (thinking) Oh, crap
McBoo and Pashie
Nightwolf and Pesh
Steel: Well, get a move on guys!
Xero: Uhh... what about me?
Metal Locked v3: Well, you can go get rid of that corpse of the rea- Anti-Locke that's been sitting around the door for the last couple episodes
Xero: Whatever...
Ybrik: Hey, I was wondering... how are we going to disarm the bomb? All I have for hands is these little blocks and you've got massive claws. Not the most bomb-disarming worthy people I know.
PKB: Hey man, just because I'm dating your sister, it doesn't mean we ha-
3.14: You're dating my sister?!?!?!?
PKB: Yeah, didn't you know?
PKB: Calm down, please
PKB: Please?
3.14: NO. *runs away*
PKB: ... great.
Heart: Let's just get this over with.
Bloop: Why? I mean, we can just do whatever we like and let somebody else take care of it
Heart: Get away from me, you freak
Bloop: What's wrong?
Heart: Well, you've got tentacles and you're suggesting we do "whatever we like"
Bloop: ...
Heart: Get lost, freak *walks away*
MEANWHILE AGAIN (for the third time)
Clyde: So, where do you think the bomb is?
Luz: Dunno.
Clyde: Uhh... where should we start looking?
Luz: Dunno.
Clyde: So, no ideas at all?
Luz: None.
Clyde: Neither.
Steel: There's something fishy about the way Locke's been acting lately...
YoshiEgg: Yup!
Steel: I think we should try finding out what it i-
A large saw cuts straight through Steel, making him fall into ashes.
Metal Locked v3: You saw me kill him, so I'll just have to remove that memory from you...
Metal Locked v3 points his hand at YoshiEgg, and a small laser appears out of his finger which goes straight the to the tanooki's forehead. A short second, and then YoshiEgg is unconscious.
Metal Locked v3: I've modified your memory... you don't know Bloop or Tulip Nook anymore. And you most certainly do not remember what just happened.
Meanwhile, Steel's ashes had reformed and he quickly ran away.
Henry: Just don't say anything stupid...
Tulip Nook: What was that?
Henry: Crap! I was thinking out loud!
Tulip Nook: Correction; you ARE thinking out loud.
Henry: For how long?
Tulip Nook: Since we left to find the bomb.
Henry: Oh no...
Tulip Nook: Don't worry, as long as you don't make any actions I don't care what you think. Although YoshiEgg might not think the same, but I won't tell him.
Henry: Thanks...
Tulip Nook: Although I don't really feel comfortable around you anymore...
Tulip runs away.
Henry: ... damnit.
(Author's Note: If you don't understand, Henry has a crush on Tulip which developed in an earlier episode)
Pashie: Hmm? Where'd McBoo go?
McBoo: BOOO!!!!
Pashie: Gah! Stop doing that!
McBoo: Sorry...
McBoo suddenly disappears.
Pashie: Please, stop doing that!
McBoo: BOO!!!!
Pashie: Honestly, I was expecting that one and it wasn't even funny.
Pashie starts walking away without McBoo.
Nightwolf: I think I found the bomb!
Pesh: Wait that's a Pushi-
Nightwolf: I'll disarm it!
Nightwolf stabs downwards into the Pushie.
Pesh: You... just... killed... it...
Nightwolf: Killed what?
Pesh: YOU MONSTER
Suddenly Nightwolf goes flying out the window.
Nightwolf: What was that for?
MEANWHILE AGAIN (for the last time... I think)
Metal Locked v3: Everything is working out perfectly... none of the pairs have managed to succesfully find the bomb, because they've all been busy arguing!
Steel is hiding in the corner, in the form of a sofa.
Steel: I think I'm a sofa.
Metal Locked v3: I know how you feel... wait... Steel! Show yourself!
Steel: All I need to do is report you to the authorities, and this show will be cancelled...
Metal Locked v3: The forcefield is still operational, it's just turned off. And this upgraded Metal Locked model has a remote activate forcefield control.
Steel: But if the show is cancelled, I won't have any source of money.
Metal Locked v3: Yes, but would you rather being homeless or having these pitiful creatures subjected to more torture?
Steel transforms back into himself and starts running out the door. As he is halfway down the road, suddenly the forcefield activates and he is split in two. Both parts reform themselves into Steel, but they are both much smaller.
Steel: You bastard!
Metal Locked v3: Now only one half of you can escape... but if they try, your other half will be tortured.
Steel: You've got an odd way of doing things.
MEANWHILE AGAIN (okay, it's not the last time)
Xero: Can't believe they forgot me... hey what's this?
Xero sees a bomb on the ground.
Xero: The bomb!
Xero carefully removes a sword, opens a hatch on the top of the bomb, and cuts the blue wire.
Bomb: THANK YOU FOR DEACTIVATING THIS BOMB. WE WILL NOW GIVE YOU YOUR PRIZE.
A small key pops out of the bomb. Xero grabs it, and rushes to find everybody else.
Metal Locked v3: Unbelievable! You have managed to complete the challenge.
Xero (confession room): Hey, since when did we have a confession room?
Steel: It's a new feature, it came with the new hos- uhh, bomb. Yeah, it came with the bomb.
Xero: When I deactivated it, a key popped out.
Bloop: Probably going to be helpful in the next challenge.
YoshiEgg Nook suddenly walks out from past the corner.
Tulip Nook: Oh! There you are!
YoshiEgg: Who are you?
When did YoshiEgg learn to talk?
What will Tulip's reaction be to YoshiEgg's sudden forgetting of her?
And will anyone ever notice that Steel is now half as small as he usually is?
Find out next time on TOTAL. DRAMA. ACT-... I mean, Fandemonium.

God's Spiritual Stimulus Plan – Contentment (13 of 14) by Steve Jones
This content is part of a series.God's Spiritual Stimulus Plan – Contentment (13 of 14)
Series: God's Spiritual Stimulus Plan
Steve Jones
Philippians 4
INTRODUCTION: An airline pilot was flying over the Tennessee Mountains and pointed out a lake to his copilot. "See that little lake?" he said. "When I was a kid I used to sit in a rowboat down there, fishing. Every time a plane would fly overhead, I'd look up and wish I were flying it. Now I look down and wish I was in a rowboat, fishing."
Contentment can be an elusive pursuit. We go after what we think will make us happy only to find that it didn't work; in fact, we were happier before we started the quest. It's like the story of two teardrops floating down the river of life. One teardrop said to the other, "Who are you?" "I'm a teardrop from a girl who loved a man and lost him. Who are you?" "I'm a teardrop from the girl who GOT him."
In Philippians 4:10-13, a man who sits in prison because of corrupt officials awaiting possible execution over false charges tells the impoverished and overtaxed citizens of Philippi how to find contentment. That's why I call this series on Philippians "God's SPIRITUAL Stimulus Plan." This letter is full of provisions to keep our spirits strong even if the economy is in the tank and our personal circumstances seem lousy.
The answer to contentment lies buried in the midst of a thank-you note. The Philippian church had sent a financial gift to Paul the prisoner. He wants to express his heartfelt thanks, but at the same time he doesn't want to give the impression that the Lord was not sufficient for his every need. Even though he had been in a very difficult situation, he doesn't want his donors to think that he had been discontented before the gift arrived; but he does want them to know that their generosity was truly appreciated. So he combines his thanks with a valuable lesson on the secret of contentment. This morning let's contrast four qualities of those who are malcontent t ...

When you focus roughly speaking the young woman side by side door, as a matter of course it brings satisfying philosophy. She is a adult female we have seen around, changed greetings and smiles - walked away inkling well brought-up. The quantity more or less impression suitable has a lot to do next to the stillness heavens and the uninterested prior arrangement. There was no crowd, no expectations of trying to be picked up, and you were not bothered give or take a few woman rejected. Instead, it was you and a lady exchanging a few undersized consult beside no pressure or race. Over circumstance as you get to cognize respectively otherwise the language may get a least much personalised and you may desire to get unneurotic for dinner or drinks. It seems to travel inherent.
In a club, the ambience is abundant contradictory. There is race and more more than vividness in the air. The women don't cognise who you are and if they seen you around, they can with the sole purpose style guru you by your movements - which may be effected by alcohol. When you do meander up to one of these ladies in a club, permission distant you are invitatory her to go out, have a drink, etc., in need her really wise to who you are. No spectacle this like of vibes is mature with veto. Granted a woman may get to cognize you in a club over and done with time, but there always seems to be another guy around the alcove annoying to take your deposit. Probably this opposition is the root for the helter-skelter call for a in-person tie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I bet, essential guys have had more than next their allotment of rejections in a nightstick and truly don't nurture for the sensation.
Meeting a fille online is connatural to the young woman subsequent movable barrier idea. She may not be subsequent door, but the character of littler pressure, uninterested talk and getting to know all separate by online swapping (email, online chatting, etc.), gross it a more than congenial impression. In time, this swap may reproductive structure into more than consequently comradeship. If sparks connect, you will find yourself in liking beside the young woman next movable barrier yet she may be miles even oceans away.Post ads:

A lady in a bar who doesn't cognise who you are, may say no for that idea unsocial. She may get to cognize you in time, but more next potential you have asked her out up to that time she got the arbitrariness to know who you are. After a guy has been rejected, more past feasible he won't legal document to the scene of the accident. You may tell yourself you will let the adult female get to cognize you previously making any advances, which is not a bad idea, but by the clip she gets to cognize you, cardinal remaining guys have asked her out. The miss side by side door generalization in a bar could work, but the contention and the likelihood are set up resistant you.
With the girl adjacent movable barrier concept on the internet, you get to cognize respectively separate earlier interrogative close questions. And when the event comes to call the adult female into a romanticist encounter, she knows who you are and denial is smaller number potential. Granted, in attendance are jerks on the net whose primary email may say "baby, I impoverishment to craft be mad about to you all night," but that row seems out of set for a first email. Yet that very formation may not appear so out of spot the archetypal instance you get together a female in a baseball club. See the difference? I notion if you would say "baby, I poverty to engineer respect to you all night" the prototypal event you meet your new woman close. Yet in a club, after a few drinks, you will say just that and it is about foreseen.
You can see why the girl side by side movable barrier theory plant healed near online geological dating. Ladies get to cognize the guys, thumbs down is less, and find love is more than probable. I can't dream of a recovered way to get to cognise the missy close door afterwards from the encouragement of your married and information processing system. The miss subsequent door is as do up as your fingers on the the ivories - you righteous got to go out and brainwave her. With so lots online geological dating services, uncovering the fille side by side door should be as unforced as jingling her movable barrier bell.Post ads:

Called USB Kill and about the size of a ticket stub, the device "rapidly charges its capacitors from the USB power line," and then discharges that power all at once to "instantly and permanently disable unprotected hardware," according to the Hong Kong-based manufacturer.
They are available for the equivalent of $56, although the manufacturer is already "temporarily out of stock," meaning penetration testers and hackers—and people who genuinely like to break stuff—are picking them up like hotcakes.

Got Something To Say:
Keep me posted on this item!
Being that I am on the abacus side of tech this is a great heads up, thanks Sam. I will resort to defense in depth.
Some kind of "taste-tester". Something cheap, maybe raspberry flavored or a home made pi.

I'll be traveling to Miami in a week for surgery with Dr. Mel Ortega I am so excited 25, no kids, and I've already lost 20 lbs so now I'm 208, 5'8! So I'm excited really excited! I've looked into recovery houses they are just extremely expensive so if u can recommend me to a nice place I'd love that :)
25 Traveling for Lipo and BBL - Miami, FL
All clear for surgery
Yah I'm so excited to receive this message. I am all clear for surgery I will be leaving this Thursday heading to Miami. I'm hella excited and nervous too! I literally woke up at 4 am just looking at the ceiling wondering what I'm going to look like. lol but I'm really excited and eager to have this procedure I will be posting more photos especially before.. :)
Dr. Sergio Alvarez is my Dr!
I originally put Ortega as my surgeon only because I saw more from him as far as work but from day one I signed up with Alvarez and he will be my Dr. I'm excited and I'm happy with him I saw a picture with him and Lil Kim (my favorite) and I got hella excited lol I still can't sleep I wake up in the middle of night thinking. I also am going by myself and I do feel alone but I know I'll be okay. I just know once I wake up emotionally I'll need someone but I talked to God and he has moved so much out of my way to make this possible so I'm going to trust him. It's in our hardest moments where we will see what we are made of and I'm ready. This is the beginning of a beautiful transformation and I want to motivate anybody who want to change their live to start now. God Bless, Miami see you soon ????
Airport flow
I made it on time!!!!! Thank God now it's time to board this flight! Next up is Miami ??????????
Time to get fine ????
Ms. New Booty
I'm still very swollen and the pain isn't a joke I survived lol! I'm 4 days post op and I just got my appetite back!!!! Dr. Alvarez is amazing and I'm thankful I chose him :) I've been walking outside and getting out the bed I don't like the stiff feeling! But I'm loving my results so far ????
My friends only had Lipo done by him but I went with her and we talked he even answered my questions while tending to her. She looks amazing and I'm so motivated now more than ever to do this for myself.

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has defended the club's failure to sell their entire allocation for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final.
The Latics have sold around 22,000 tickets for the Wembley meeting with Millwall, prompting the FA to make the spare 10,000 available to "neutral" supporters.
Rather than the sarcastic jibes that have been aimed towards the Premier League outfit, Martinez prefers to focus on the incredible strides made since the club were in the bottom tier of English football following his arrival as a player in 1995.
"It's not about the numbers," he said. "The numbers need to have a meaning.
"Back in 1995, when I arrived at the football club, we had gates of 2,000.
"Now we are in the best league in the world, and we are in the semi-final of the best cup competition - for us to take whatever figure it is represents an incredible percentage of the town.
"It's an incredible turnaround of the fans we had 15 years ago. So, for us, it is a success."
Wigan are privately delighted with the sales figures, acknowledging that some supporters have opted not to buy semi-final tickets because of their hope/expectation that their team will reach the final, while others have been put off by the lack of trains travelling back north on Saturday evening.
Even so, the figure sold compares favourably with the number Super League giants Wigan Warriors could expect to sell for a Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
"I know from the outside they will compare numbers, but we don't really care about that," said Martinez.
"What's important is that every year we increase our fanbase and we increase the feeling of being attached to our football club.
"Going to Wembley with very passionate fans that care for the football club is part of their lives."
Martinez confirmed that he had a clean bill of health for the game, with only the Latics' long-term casualties Ben Watson, Albert Crusat and Ivan Ramis unavailable.
