UK Men's Basketball
Mark Story: Kentucky uniforms are for players, not fans
Working our way around college basketball in Kentucky:
I confess I've come to look forward to anytime Nike gets the University of Kentucky to outfit one of its major sports teams in a uniform that deviates from the norm.
Whether it is all-black unis in football or the mostly gray "platinum" number the Wildcats men's basketball team is slated to unveil Tuesday night in Rupp Arena against Tennessee, the indignant reaction from some UK fans that follows is inevitable.
It's also a hoot.
I hate these uniforms! Hate them, hate them, hate them!
We're the Big Blue, not the Big Gray!
Look, it's a free country, and everyone is free to like or not like anything as they choose.
If your objection to the uniform changes is that universities such as UK have basically sold their (insert throat-clearing noise) student-athletes to apparel companies such as Nike to use as living billboards, that's a philosophical argument with merit.
But for me, here's what makes the whole exercise in crass commercialism palatable. When I've been around the UK players who actually wear Nike's unconventional uniforms, they seem by and large to be stoked about getting to wear different styles and varied colors.
Bottom line: If it makes the games more fun for the young people playing college sports, that justifies the exercise in uniform changing.
Meanwhile, the angry fan reactions to deviant UK sports uniforms — It's not 'we'll fight, fight, fight for the Gray and White' — rank among the best free entertainment going.
Harper in Croatia
Ex-Morehead State standout Demonte Harper, whose late-game three-pointer in last season's NCAA Tournament sent Louisville packing, is playing professionally this season in Croatia.
"He's been a little up-and-down," Morehead Coach Donnie Tyndall said of his former shooting guard. "He played real well early, then they had a coaching change, and he hasn't played quite as much. But he is making good money and doing well."
Tyndall said he expects the 6-foot-4 Harper, the MVP of the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, to return to the states to play next season, possibly in the NBA Development League.
"Next year, I'll be surprised if he doesn't go the D-League route and see what comes from that," Tyndall said.
Fraternity of buzzer beaters
Our state has supplied more than its share of late-game NCAA Tournament drama in recent times, with players from Kentucky schools hitting five game-winning shots in the Big Dance since 2008.
Catching up with the players besides Harper who have done so:
Former UK standout Brandon Knight, who beat Princeton and Ohio State in the 2011 tourney, is averaging 13.6 points and 3.6 assists (through games of Friday night) in his rookie season with the Detroit Pistons.
Danero Thomas, whose last-gasp jump shot allowed Murray State to knock Vanderbilt out of the 2010 tourney, is serving as a student manager for new Racers Coach Steve Prohm with an eye on eventually launching a career as a college coach.
Ex-Western Kentucky guard Ty Rogers, whose three-point bomb bounced Drake from the 2008 NCAAs, is in Bowling Green working as a pharmaceutical salesman.
Pressure of a title defense
After his Pikeville team made a Cinderella run to the 2011 NAIA Division I national tournament championship, Bears Coach Kelly Wells said he conferred with a colleague who had also won a national title.
"He told me, the season after you win a championship is the hardest coaching year you'll ever have," Wells said Friday. "Now, I've seen what he means. We've had an uphill climb."
After starting the season ranked No. 1 in the NAIA polls, Pikeville stood at 13-7 overall and was ranked No. 23 going into Saturday's game with Lindsey Wilson, which they beat 71-70.
"Other than Trevor Setty (MVP of last season's NAIA tourney), we've got a brand new team," Wells said. "We were happy for the honor of being (pre-season) No. 1, but it really wasn't realistic.
"We come out this year, we're taking everybody's best shot because of what we did last year, and I've got 10 guys wondering, 'Hey, what's this all about?' "
Wells, 40, does have prior experience defending a championship. In 2003, he coached Mason County to the boys' state high school title. The next season, the Royals returned to the state finals before losing to Warren Central.
"That experience has helped me," Wells said. "But when you've got so many new players like we do here, it's a different kind of challenge."
Happy returns
When Tennessee Tech made its OVC swing to Eastern Kentucky (Thursday) and Morehead State (Saturday) last week, it meant that Happy Osborne was back working in his old stomping grounds.
The former, longtime Georgetown College head man is in his first season working as an assistant to Tech Coach Steve Payne (who was once an assistant to Osborne at Georgetown).
"It's awesome to be back," Osborne said Friday. "I've been back a lot recruiting because we think Kentucky is a place where we can recruit from, but there's nothing better than coaching college basketball (games) in Kentucky."
One would think it's a pretty big adjustment going from making decisions, which Osborne, 54, did while compiling 456 wins in 15 years as head coach at Georgetown, to making suggestions as an assistant.
"I'm in a different role, and all I'm trying to do is help Steve make this the best program it can be," Osborne said. "Basketball is basketball. That part, the coaching and working with the players, has been fun."

Downside volatility has increased in early 2018, as discussed in recent Macroeconomic and Technical webinars and research updates. While statistically measured "oversold/fear" levels are close at hand, it is important to distinguish between an equity market "Low" and an equity market "Bottom."
A Low is a function of price only and is usually accompanied by high-volume selling. Consistent with this and the DJIA's 4.62 percent decline yesterday, declining volume on the NYSE was 97 percent of total advancing and declining volume, the second consecutive day this relationship was over 90 percent. Also, declining volume on the NYSE exceeded upside volume by a massive 31-to-1 ratio yesterday. One sign that a Low has been established, following volume readings such as described, is strong demand for stocks shows up. A very strong ratio of NYSE advancing volume over declining volume makes this evident.
Once a Low has been recorded, it takes time before a Bottom develops. A Bottom is a function of both price and time and usually includes some type of "Low-Rally-Retest" sequence. When looking at a chart, this sequence usually resembles something akin to a W.
In my opinion, when the equity market is in the midst of algorithmic and index fund trading—which has been the case over the past few days—the selling pressure is not necessarily a reflection of the underlying economic and fundamental backdrop. During these types of periods, I identify support levels in terms of ranges or areas, not at 100 percent specific levels.

Juniper Research: Digital Transformation, IoT to Drive Annual Cybersecurity Spend to $134 Billion By 2022
New data from Juniper Research has found that global business spend on cybersecurity solutions will grow by 33 percent over the next four years, reaching $134 billion annually by 2022.
Juniper's new research, "Cybersecurity: Mitigation Strategies for Financial Services, Operators, Enterprise & IoT 2018-2022" found that nearly 70 percent of the total spend in 2022 would originate from medium-sized businesses, as cybercriminals target "low-hanging fruit".
The analyst firm anticipates that the cumulative cost of data breaches between 2017 and 2022 will reach $8 trillion, with variable per-business losses depending on the nature and scale of the attack. Shipping company Maersk, for example, estimated the cost of NotPetya infecting its global network in 2017 at between $200 million and $300 million.
Juniper argued that, as a result, stakeholders must plan in terms of risk mitigation rather than prevention. It predicted that service providers in high-risk environments would be forced to restructure their networks to avoid potential compliance breaches, data theft or service outage.
"Once a single endpoint is breached, the big danger is lateral movement across the network," Research author Steffen Sorrell explains. "Layered networks, proper lifecycle management and user 'least privilege' approaches will prove key to containing serious breaches."
Meanwhile, the research found that securing the Internet of Things (IoT) -- with 46 billion connected units anticipated in 2021 -- would require more forward-thinking. With devices "in the field" for years at a time, adopting a cybersecurity strategy that is flexible enough to react to future demands would be essential.
Juniper highlighted the fact that cybercriminals' efforts soon render modern approaches less effective. For example, the Cerber family of ransomware has analyzed how machine learning systems detected malware behavior and applied evasion techniques as a result.
In the context of strategies for financial services, mobile operators, enterprise and IoT service providers, the research highlighted that stakeholders' digital transformation and IoT endeavors were key catalysts for increasing spend to defend assets from threats.

Investing in Knowledge, Investing in Native Trees
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting the amiable representative of an investor group that has a stake in a reforestation scheme in Madre de Dios, the region of the Peruvian Amazon that is arguably the world's greatest remaining treasure in terms of a relatively intact, relatively large area of tropical forest. The investors were turning their money into teak trees, which will turn into more money. They had reason to be confident about this: teak is one of the most valuable timbers in the world and its commercial reforestation is common in a number of areas of the tropics, including Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Teak is so popular as a species for commercial reforestation in part because its timber is very valuable and in part because its growth rate is known – investors know what to expect for their ROI. Similarly, documented experience with species like pine and eucalyptus encourages the reforestation of these exotic trees on a grand scale, while many native trees remain poorly studied and little planted.
While it's hard to expect an investor to take a wild leap of faith – and reforestation is already a risky business – it's also rather unconscionable that the greatest impediment to massive restoration of native tree species around the world is our ignorance about how they grow. We don't know what Return on Investment to expect, and therefore we leave these trees to the side. Unfortunate, as many of the native trees are very valuable and in some cases can give the exotics a run for their money as far as productivity.
Take Amazonian ironwood, Dipteryx micrantha, a tree whose eligibility as an endangered species was recently questioned by a timber interest group mainly because they wanted to keep logging it. This emergent tree is the preferred nesting place of the harpy eagle, the world's most powerful raptor, and as such is an obvious conservation target. Somewhat surprisingly for a tree with wood so dense, ironwood grows quickly, showing amazing vertical gain even without lateral competition for light, a property that makes it well suited for inclusion in agroforestry systems.
If it's true that the key missing ingredient for more reforestation of native species is more knowledge, it's also true that there are those working to address this lacuna. In the Peruvian Amazon, Camino Verde is working to bridge the gap with an ever-growing body of knowledge about the performance of over 300 native tree species. With 2 forestry nurseries producing more than 100 species of trees a year, it is our team's mission to push the agenda of native species restoration throughout the Peruvian Amazon and beyond.
Camino Verde's forest nursery manager Manuel Huinga shares, "There are tree species that when I was growing up were abundant, and now are found only deeper and deeper in the forest. It's our work to find the seed-bearing trees and propagate more of these species that will be extinguished without our intervention. Many of these trees grow surprisingly well, making us question why exotics are preferred. If we have all the facts, native species will be able to speak for themselves."
The nursery is a living commitment to giving native trees – with their fruits, medicines, timbers, and more – the chance to speak for themselves. And Camino Verde's planting activities are a chance for ecologically restorative strategies to demonstrate their value. This year we produce 20,000 seedlings representing 120 species. Next year, we hope to do more.
The need to build a world with more room for investment in native trees is common sense and is imperative. You can be a part of this important work of planting native trees and restoring the rainforest. Make a donation to Camino Verde; share this post with others who care; think twice before you buy something you don't need. Be a part of the solution.

I had the pleasure to attend a presentation on professional development for visual artists by Heather Darcy Bhandari and Jonathan Melber. Heather and Jonathan are the authors of ART/WORK ______Everything You Need To Know (and DO) As You Pursue Your Career In Art. Heather is the Director of Artist Relations at Mixed Greens Gallery and Jonathan is a former lawyer at a prominent arts-and-entertainment law firm where he represented artists, galleries, and collectors, as well as a host of creative individuals and companies.
Being the professional development dork that I am, I have attended many of these lectures before and actually own 3 similar books which I have read cover to cover and found completely useless. However, their presentation was incredibly enlightening, to-the-point, and very realistic. They had advise that was very grounded in today's reality and it was applicable to most artists.
The book is nicely laid out (remember...your target? Artists. Bad graphic design=no one will actually buy your book. We're artists. I buy CD's based on the cover art). The book is also written in a language that is easy to understand. Most terms and complex language are explained very clearly and every detail is covered. These books usually bore me to death, but I have read most of this one in one sitting and it is very entertaining and highly informative. The book is very specific and it does not address Utopian concepts of life as an artist but rather it says things like
"We're not telling you that if you do everything we say [in this book], you will be the next Damien Hirst" and "Every artist has a day job (almost) (...) The average income of an artist at an emerging gallery, from sales of artwork, is less than ten thousand dollars a year (...) Whatever kind of job you decide to get, remember that it is just that- your day job. It's not your real job and it doesn't dictate your identity"
All in all this is a very smart and well thought out publication. It is cheap and useful, a very helpful tool for anyone who is not Jeff Koons. The entire publication is backed up by quotes one every page from artists, curators, gallerists, collectors, lawyers and critics: living, working, relevant professionals in the art world. Also if you get a chance, make sure to attend one of their lectures- it is great, and they are very nice people. Make sure to check out the useful links on their website.

France's Eventing riders produced an emphatic win in the first FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing competition of the 2015 season at the weekend in Fontainebleau (FRA).
The French team repeated their 2014 victory when they also won on home soil, and they enjoyed a comfortable winning margin of nearly 30 penalties over Australia, who finished second.
Gwendolen Fer (FRA), riding Romantic Love, was best of the team in individual second place and she had an excellent Cross Country round for just 1.2 time penalties, which was easily the fastest time of the day. Arnaud Boiteau, riding Quoriano 'ENE HN', was fourth and newcomer Helen Vattier on Quito de Baliere was ninth.
An all-male Australian trio opted for steadier Cross Country speeds in their first international competition of the year. Christopher Burton was the fastest, clocking 8.8 time penalties on TS Jamaimo, to finish fifth.
Last year, Burton had to withdraw the horse before Cross Country due to colic at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014, so he will no doubt be delighted with TS Jamaimo's sparkling performance to start the season.
Great Britain, who maintain a policy of fielding younger, up-and-coming riders who have yet to ride on a championship team, also fielded three riders and finished just 0.3 penalties behind Australia. Izzy Taylor, a regular on FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing teams, was the highest placed in sixth on the mare KBIS Briarlands Matilda.
Four teams contested this first of eight competitions in the FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing and the Netherlands finished fourth, having dropped from third place after Dressage due to Cross Country time penalties.
One remarkable result from the weekend was that all 14 team members jumped clear across country, although none of them achieved the optimum time of 6 minutes 19 seconds around Fontainebleau's twisting forest tracks. Fer and Burton were also penalty free in the Jumping stadium.
Germany, winners of two out of the last three series, could not field a team at Fontainebleau, but their leading rider Michael Jung still led from the start to collect individual honours on his wonderful horse La Biosthetique Sam. No doubt the Germans will be out, all guns blazing, before long.
The FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing next crosses the Irish Sea, to the Fell family's hospitable event at Ballindenisk in County Cork (IRL) next month, which last year produced a win for the British team.
The French team repeated their feat of 2014 when they also won on home soil, and enjoyed a comfortable victory at the opening leg of FEI Nations Cup™ Eventing 2015 in Fontainebleau. Left to right: Karim Florent Laghouag (FRA), Helene Vattier (FRA), Gwendolen Fer (FRA) and Arnaud Boiteau (FRA).

Why I Stopped: Natasha is a tour de force in both style and attitude. She's so filled with life, and it comes through both in how she talks and what she wears. Don't be fooled. While I may have used a couple of fierce poses, Natasha actually has one of the most contagious smiles I've ever seen. So with that caveat, let's talk about the look.
I'm going to call this Bohemian chic, and I'm obsessed with it. The long, white button-down and skinny blue jeans provide a neutral base against which Natasha can do almost anything. What she does is fantastic! The green knit cape is stunning. Look at the shapes she can create just by standing with an arm at her side! Long, draping garments are totally in this season, and this is a great way to pull one off.
The hat only adds to the bohemian feel. I'd expect to see Natasha walking down the streets of Paris where she's composing her next novel alongside her fellow ex-pats in a revival reminiscent of Midnight in Paris. The gold hoop necklace placed over the buttoned collar of the shirt adds an unexpected accent, and it's complimented by several gold rings decorating Natasha's fingers. Completed by a black tote and black boots, Natasha is saying so much about herself through this look, and I'm loving every bit of it.
Style Tip Challenge: Don't be afraid to drape (whether you're a guy or a gal!). Create a neutral base by using a simple top and pants. Then pick up an oversized, chunky knit sweater or a poncho-style cape that wraps you up in its comfy goodness. Finish it off with a couple of accessories (maybe a fabulous hat?!) and you'll have a fall look that will turn heads for all the right reasons.

Audio Network
Global music licensing platform.
The Story
Audio Network was founded in 2001 Andrew Sunnucks and Robert Hurst, two music industry veterans in the United Kingdom. They had a goal of building a music company that made it easy and simple to license high-quality commercial music for global distribution. Andrew and Robert decided to build a production music library from scratch in order to hold 100% of rights to the music, allowing it to be licensed without traditional restrictions. Today, Audio Network has a growing base of subscribers worldwide with over 4,700 customers purchasing an annual music license in the U.K. and over 500 customers in the U.S. Key clients include many of the largest broadcasters and production companies in the world, such as NBC, BBC, HBO, Turner, MTV and Endemol.
Through its network, Stripes was introduced to the founders of Audio Network in August 2012. At the time, the Audio Network team was not looking to engage in a transaction; however, the interactions between Stripes and Audio Network over 11 months led to a proprietary investment opportunity. The founders and Company elected to partner with Stripes given our combination of entrepreneurial operating abilities and domain expertise in technology, internet and media. Since our investment in July 2013, the Stripes team continues to work closely with Audio Network to help achieve its growth initiatives and continue its positive momentum.

Our Featured Horse for February is Inga!
Can you believe it?! While we celebrate Inga as our featured horse of the month, we also get to celebrate our one year anniversary of publishing weekly features! We hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as we have enjoyed writing them. Maybe we should dub them Friday feel-good features!
It is only natural that we celebrate our year of features by thinking of Inga and her great and varied service to Lancers over the past years. Inga has to be one of our most notable horses. From her striking looks to her stubborn character she is as unique as they come. She is a 15.2hh Norwegian Fjord cross. Her colour is called "grulla" and is part of the Dun family of colours. She is a mousey-grey with a dorsal stripe along her back and zebra stripes on her legs! She also has a big beautiful white snip on her nose.
Anyone who got their start at Lancers since Inga's arrival almost seven years ago has had a turn on Inga. This is because Inga is safe, quiet, and unfazed by even the most unbalanced rider. She is the star of our summer camps and beginner courses, and especially for our Therapeutic lessons with H.A.L.T.R. She is very stocky and can handle even our Tallest adult riders, but is not so tall as to intimidate small children.
Inga's character truly comes out when ridden in our more advanced rides though. While she happily will walk along the end of a lead rope with any number of different riders on her back, it's a whole different story when we ask her to really work or exercise. She is a very clever horse, and no amount of force or even proper technique can make Inga move if she's not motivated. Luckily we have plenty of riders who have bonded with Inga and who she will happily work hard for. Inga picks her favorite people and makes them feel like a star, because for others she refuses to even try. If Inga has not yet chosen you as one of "her people" and you find yourself riding her, be prepared to work harder than she does.
Inga is also fabulous when we introduce vaulting to our riders. Vaulting is essentially like gymnastics on the horse's back, and while it's not a core part of our programs, every camp kid gets a chance to give it a try! Most kids will get a chance to practice on occasion throughout the year as well, as it can be a great confidence builder and improve a rider's balance.
Inga is a part of our Musical Ride, has been to many shows and spends a couple of hours every year giving pony rides to the public at our open house in October. For a stubborn horse she certainly has endless amounts of patience, particularly with young children. She may give us grief at times, but all the love that she inspires is well worth it. #featurefriday

ease of loss, devices which need cards changed regularly
will use a full size SD socket. microSD cards have support
for the SDIO mode (input/output) which is normally required
for Bluetooth and GPS, if a device does not require the SDO
mode a TransFlash card will be usable in the device as well
as a microSD. As there are times when the MicroSD card will
need to temporarily connect to a device with a full size SD
socket the microSD cards are often bundled with an
appropriate adapter when sold.
Memory Cards: The MicroSDHC
The microSDHC (Secure Digital high Capacity) used the FAT32
file system which had been in use on most PC computers, this
resulted in the ability to support up to a maximum of 32gb
capacity. 2009 saw the introduction of the UHS-I (Ultra High
Speed) memory bus which facilitates higher transfer speeds
on devises which support it. Devices built for microSDHC
cards will work with older lower capacity microSDSC cards as
Memory Cards: The MicroSDXC
Advances in the performance and capabilities of devices
using memory cards resulted in the introduction of microSDXC
(Secure Digital Extended Capacity) cards . microSDXC cards
can support up to 2 TB (2048 GB) of data, to achieve this
they utilise Microsoft's exFAT file allocation system and
therefore microSDXC memory cards are totally incompatible
with older microSDSC and microSDXC card system devices!
These cards can also have the UHS-I (Ultra High Speed)
memory bus which facilitates higher transfer speeds on UHS-1
compatible Devises. 2011 heralded the introduction of the
UHS-2 (Ultra High Speed) memory bus system, this increases
memory transfer speed capability even further but requires
an extra row of electrical contacts, it will only work at
higher speeds with devises built with a memory socket with
these contacts, because of this a firmware update can never
reach these increased speeds if the extra contacts required
were not fitted when the device was manufactured.
Memory Cards: Memory
transfer speeds
An important part of a memory cards performance is how fast
it can read and write, read speeds are always faster than
write speeds, if only one speed is given it can be assumed
it is the read speed which looks most impressive. Originally
speeds were given relative to the speed of a standard CD
disks 150 kByte/s read speed, e.g. x10 (10 times faster than
a standard CD) but nowadays is given as the number of
megabytes that can be transferred in a second e.g. 30MB/s.
Memory Cards: How to find
memory transfer speeds
Speeds of various cards are normally given on the memory
card itself, the original packaging, or it's data sheet.
Read speeds are normally not use critical as it just relates
to how long it will take to transfer a given amount of data
from one device to another. Write speeds however if to low
can render the device using the card to be unusable until
the correct card is sourced, the most obvious device this
applies to is video cameras, if the card can not write as
fast or faster than the video stream needed to be recorded
all is lost!
Memory Cards: Memory speed
As video camera users require different minimum data write
speed depending on the frame rate and resolution the camera
is recording at it was decided to create a class system to
make the correct choice of memory card a little easier. The
system uses a letter "C" with a number in it which gives a
write speed in MB/s that the memory card is guaranteed to
meet or exceed, on cards supporting "Ultra High Speed"
memory cards the "C" is replaced with a "U" and the number
is how many 10x1MB data packets can be written in one
second, this means that a class C3 card can be written up to
to 3MB/s guaranteed, a U3 Class card can be written to at up
to 30MB/s guaranteed.

CBRN - transborder safety and cooperation - part 2
The activities undertaken through this project were aimed at limiting the effects of events involving chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear hazards (CBRN). The project set out to develop an efficient response system for the services responsible for providing assistance to the victims of the aforementioned threats, in particular in situations that call for decontamination. The assumption adopted was that the creation of the first decontamination system would improve the effectiveness of any future rescue operations undertaken in the Lviv Oblast.
Adequate re-equipping and training of the Ukrainian emergency services was expected to affect changes in the operation of the Fire Service in Ukraine. The strengthening of the Lviv Oblast emergency services' institutional capacity can be expected to increase the sense of security of local residents and of tourists. In addition, once established, the first decontamination system in the Lviv Oblast will secure over 260 kilometres of the border with Poland in the event of disasters or other threats. The project provided for the drafting of a synopsis of the guidelines for decontamination to be rolled out throughout the country, which the beneficiary would be able to present to the government in Kyiv upon completion of the project.
CBRN - transborder safety and cooperation - part 2
The project provided for the following measures:
- preliminary training in decontamination: a 20-person group of rescue workers from the Lviv Oblast would participate in a series of specialist training courses on the organisational principles and tactics of mass decontamination, which would also include medical and psychological first-aid assistance for the injured and their relatives. This would ensure that the Lviv Oblast emergency services would be prepared for mass decontamination in the event of any CBRN threat;
- procurement and delivery of the required decontamination equipment. The purchased equipment would be transferred to the Oblast Headquarters of the Fire Service in Lviv. The equipment would serve the rescue workers trained in Poland as operational equipment and a teaching aid;
- the main training course with harmonising exercises, i.e. we would conduct a series of exercises that combine the knowledge gained during the last three years with the ability to handle the previously transferred equipment;
- the final draft of the principles for the guideline document and the wrap-up seminar: a group of experts consisting of Polish specialists and the individuals responsible for the functioning of the security system in the Lviv Oblast would draft the final principles for the decontamination guideline document, which our Ukrainian partners will be able to present to the government in Kyiv for future rollout in the entire country. This would be followed by a seminar aimed at the services vested with the responsibility for emergency response.
CBRN - transborder safety and cooperation - part 2
The strengthening of the institutional capacity of the Lviv Oblast rescue services increased the sense of security among the inhabitants of the region as well as tourists. Moreover, the establishment of the first-ever decontamination system in the Lviv Oblast has secured over 260 kilometres of Ukraine's border with Poland in the event of disasters or other threats. The project also enabled the development of the key principles for the decontamination guideline document, which is to be presented to the government in Kyiv and rolled out on a national basis.

after reading this post (and subsequently leaving an overly large comment!) i felt compelled to post a courtney tune here too. i toyed with many great tracks both solo and with hole (sunset strip being one of the greatest contenders – a fantastic hooky pop rock classic really worth a listen) but decided not to settle for the 'easy' option. so here is 'life despite god' from 'america's sweetheart' – a raw, uncompromising, bluesey bloodlet of a song that i think is possibly her most acomplished work to date. janis + dylan + hole = life despite god. pour a drink, turn the lights down and give it a whirl…[audio:god.mp3]

No man is an island (except for HRH Roy Bates)
why i have never heard about this before i don't know – but now i am completely obsessed with the utter weirdness of 'sealand'. to quoute wikipedia:
"The Principality of Sealand is a micronation (a self-declared but unrecognised state-like entity) that claims as its territory the artificial island of Roughs Tower, a former Maunsell Sea Fort located in the North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of Suffolk, England, at 51�53?40?N, 1�28?57?E, as well as territorial waters in a twelve-nautical-mile radius. Sealand is occupied by family members and associates of Paddy Roy Bates, who styles himself as H.R.H. Prince Roy of Sealand. The population of the facility rarely exceeds five, and its inhabitable area is 550 m�."
and from the official website:
"Sealand was founded as a sovereign Principality in 1967 in international waters, six miles off the eastern shores of Britain. The island fortress is conveniently situated from 65 to 100 miles from the coasts of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. The official language of Sealand is English and the Sealand Dollar has a fixed exchange rate of one U.S. dollar. Passports and stamps have been in circulation since 1969, however, contrary to many misleading websites and news articles, Sealand passports are not for sale, and anyone offering such are selling forgeries. Within a radius of 500 miles of Sealand live more than 200 million people who enjoy some of the highest standards of living in the world. This area also encompasses the financial, industrial and cultural heart of Europe"
talk about micronation.
they even have their own flag.
truly bizarre and yet – somehow- strangely admirable.
Technology is not (necessarily) piracy
warner brothers announced this week that they have struck a deal with bittorrent to provide online movie and t.v downloads. so far the information looks promising with rumoured pricing being around the same as a dvd rental and t.v shows much cheaper. this could be the first real step toward readily available online visual media content…

I have been treated to a really fantastic first gay pride weekend here in Amsterdam. My friend Huw invited me to join him on his friend's boat for an unparalleled view of the parade, which (this being Amsterdam after all) is completely on boats, making their way through the canals. After the parade, we met up with Xavier and several new friends for a night of drinks and dancing which ended at about 5am this morning. We grabbed a few hours worth of shut-eye and then had a relaxing picnic in the park with a group of about 17, including just about everyone I know here. One of the things I have found to be so great about Amsterdam is how much more seems to happen in groups here, and how open-hearted and friendly everyone seems to be. My friends have been trying to convince me that I ought to move here, and I have to admit to be very tempted indeed by the treatment I have been receiving. Amsterdam is really one of my favorite cities anywhere.
Amsterdam by Boat
I am in Amsterdam at the moment for a week's vacation and having a fantastic time. Everyone is so friendly and warm, I always feel more welcome here than just about any other city I know. Yesterday, my friends Stijn and Alexa invited me for a a little tour of Amsterdam on their boat. I have taken a couple of official boats tours before, but they could really not compare to this. Stijn really knows the inns and outs of the canals having lived here for so long, and we had a lazy day of great conversation, snacks, drinks, sunshine and a little swimming. About halfway through we picked up Huw for lunch and then made our way back to the docks, where we said our goodbyes to Stijn and Alexa and took the tram to the center to check out the Drag Queen Olympics, which are part of the Gay Pride celebrations in Amsterdam this weekend.
Joodse dag in Amsterdam
Today turned out to be pretty Jewy in Amsterdam. First we went to the Portuguese Synagogue, a beautiful old building and (according to what they told us) the oldest functioning synagogue in all of Europe, built in 1639. It has a pretty fascinating history, especially in that it was founded by Marranos more than 100 years after their families had been forcibly converted to Catholicism. After that we went to the Hollondesche Schouwburg Museum, which was an old theater that had been used as the central place for collecting and deporting the thousands upon thousands of Jews to the concentration camps. Not content with the heavy heart that one left us with, we went to take in the immensely detailed exhibits of the Resistance Museum, a fascinating but exhausting place. I suppose if it had not been rather cold and rainy today, we might have enjoyed a coffee on a lovely sun drenched terrace. Instead, we looked directly into dark and disturbing corners of humanity.
From AMS 14 deux
Back to AMS briefly
Due to the vagaries of price and scheduling, Josh and I have stopped back in AMS for a couple of days before our return to NYC. Amsterdam, though always lovely, greeted us with some 30 less degrees than we left in Marrakech, and a driving rain. But we were very much warmed by the wonderful welcome of Xavier and Huw, who we are staying with, and the fantastic Indonesian meal we enjoyed last night not far from their place. And after dinner, we met up with a very fun friend of theirs named Erin, and all went to sample some Dutch spirits at a pub across the street. I am no fan of gin, but the Dutch variety we tried last night (called Jenever) was delicious.
Promenade, Putin, and Protest
Today I had a lovely walk around town with my new friend Kasia. We saw some cool new architecture (the gorgeous EYE institut, for example) and took a nice long stroll through older parts of the city ending up in the Vondelpark for a drink. After that, we met up with Xavier, Matteo and Huw to attend a protest against Putin who was visiting Amsterdam today. (In case you weren't aware, Russia has been passing some pretty repressive laws recently regarding gay people). We followed our important (but rather easy) activism with a lovely dinner and walk back to the apartment. I have had such a fantastic time here, connecting with old friends and making new ones, I am really looking forward to coming back soon.
I could live here
Amsterdam has always been one of my favorite cities, not just for the beautiful architecture, but also for the easy going people. I have been really fortunate while here to be staying with my friend Xavier, who has been an amazing host and who has such wonderful friends. I haven't gone out this much in quite a while, but that is what vacations are about, right? Last night we went for truly delicious Indonesian food (they used to be a Dutch colony, so it is everywhere here) and got caught up with my old friend Stijn and his lovely girlfriend, then bid them goodbye and headed out to some dance club called Spellbound. The music wasn't that great, but the crowd and group we were with were a lot of fun, and we stayed out until 4am. I am a little slow going today as a result, but not too worse for the wear. We have been taking it easy, biking around the city and hanging out.

To the Limit is a documentary about an attempt to break the speed climbing record on "The Nose" of El Capitan in Yosemite Park by two brothers, Thomas and Alexander Huber.
Ever since I knew about this film, I wanted to see it because in the early 1990s I stood at the side of the road down in the valley of Yosemite Park and stared up at the climbers on the wall of El Capitan in awe. The wall rises more than 3000 feet above the valley and normally, experienced climbers need several days to get to the top. The record the brothers set out to break stood at 2 hours and 48 minutes! So when I saw that this film was on TV this afternoon (today is a holiday here), I sat down to watch it.
I can't say I understood all that was going on. To the Limit is not a documentary that gives a lot of background information or talks much about strategies or logistics. But then, I don't think that is its intent. The title is to be taken rather literally, IMO, in that in some way there's a parallel drawn between climbing/going to your limit and living your life: climbing is about going to your limit, testing and pushing it, as life should be. The film also provides a close look at two brothers who have the same passion and how that influences them and their dealings with each other.
To the Limit is a film that lives on its spectacular pictures, some of them really stomach flipping (I would like to know how they did that – nice work), and the awe at what some people can and are willing to do.
I'm still deeply impressed.
Here's the movie trailer on youtube.com:
The image is from Wikipedia Commons.
The Huber brothers got the record in October, 2007. A new record was set in July, 2008 by Hans Florine and Yuji Hirayama in 2 hours, 43 minutes and 33 seconds.
See this entry on Wikipedia for more background information about El Capitan and its climbing history.

Advice on buying a business
Making the decision to buy a business is a huge and serious commitment for which you will need to seek sound financial support and advice. Whether this is the first time you're considering buying a business, adding to an already existing portfolio of businesses, involved with a variety of different businesses or operate within a specific sector, Perrigo Consultants have the experience and expertise you need to make sure the decisions you make are based on sound financial advice and that ultimately, your purchase is a success.
What are the most common reasons for buying a business?
There are, of course, a large number of reasons why you may be considering a business acquisition. One of the most common in the current economic climate is to gain significant market share by buying up and taking over a competitor.
For both long established businesses and for those new to an established market, the cost of acquiring a business can often seem prohibitively high, but if that cost can be managed, company acquisition has a great many advantages. For one, you will be gaining access to ready-made teams of experienced individuals and saving time on the slow, laborious process of staff recruitment and training. Then there are the additional benefits of getting to market quickly and of instantaneously accessing technology and intellectual property.
Your acquisition may be to complement an existing business, or it may be a fast track to running your own initial business. In either scenario, it may be possible that raising the money for an acquisition is easier than raising money for starting your own business from scratch. This is for the simple reason that when you purchase an already successful business, there is a proven track record, a debtor book and assets on the back of which you can then secure finance.
What must be taken into consideration when buying a business?
The precise nature of the business you buy will depend on your own personal and commercial requirements and objectives. You will need to consider location, customer type, products and services, affordability, and so on. Current and future profitability is also of paramount importance, along with assessing potential returns on your investment and whether or not this will include capital growth and revenue streams.
Receiving impartial advice from accountants and business advisers can not only mean the difference between success and failure, it can also enable you to get the most out of your early choices and your ultimate investment.
Perrigo Consultants can help you at every step along the road to your purchase. We can help you answer the following questions:
Is the business you are considering a valid concern?
What is the most tax efficient way to purchase the business?
What is the best approach you can make, from a financing point of view?
Once the purchase is complete, how will you run the business?
Will this purchase affect your retirement plan?
How will the purchase affect your tax liabilities?
To make sure you have the right answers to these and other crucial questions, give us a call at Perrigo Consultants today on 01299 488860 or email us at: email@example.com, and we can get started immediately on helping you to make all the right decisions regarding the acquisition of a new business.

CounterPulse Festival Identity
CounterPulse, a 25-year old San Francisco mainstay for Bay Area performing arts, decided to launch a festival to showcase their unique curation and incubation of queer performance and discourse. The festival was positioned to be a comparable West Coast version of large alternative performance festivals that our common on the East Coast and Europe.
We zeroed in on the word "bent" as the visual anchor—bent as in queer, and bent as in mind-bending. The wavy box line logo references this, as well as referencing the container that space creates for art and ideas. The visual systems needed to be in sync with CounterPulse's overall brand, but distinct enough to stand out as a new initiative.
The inaugural year of the CounterPulse Festival was a dynamic five days of performance, conversation, and radical celebration, and received critical acclaim, all shows sold out and the events received numerous press features.
In my scope: Brand Strategy, Design, Storytelling + Copy, Digital Marketing

The simple answer is that the prices you see on platforms such as Steam and Origin are retail prices set by those businesses for consumers. Being an officially registered business ourselves, we are able to:
1) purchase these games at business-to-business prices and most importantly,
2) purchase very large/bulk quantities thereby benefiting from the bulk discounts that game companies provide as an incentive for large orders.
We are then able to pass these savings on to you, our valued customers as we decide our own retail prices.
In many ways this is the same reason a Sony product for instance is almost always cheaper on Amazon or Ebay than it is on the official Sony website.
We intentionally price our games to be competitive against their physical counterparts in order to pass on the savings we make through not having any shipping or storage costs, providing our customers with better value for their money.
As for the business model, trust us you are in perfectly safe hands with us, digital game distribution/retail is extremely popular and you can see that huge retailers such as Amazon are stocking more and more download versions of games and in fact their download games all include some form of the statement "Steam required" or "Origin Required" and this is because those are keys, exactly the same as the ones we sell. You'll also note that their prices are also mostly lower than those on the download platforms (Origin & Steam).
This method of buying/selling games has been very popular in some regions for quite a while and is growing extremely rapidly as internet speeds improve worldwide. Downloads are in fact expected to completely replace physical games in the near future in the same way that things happened in music.

[crossposted from cottage renovations 15_the_circle]
this tree is located in an open field to the East of the Grove.
the tract in which it is located is slated for development and all the site plans I've seen show the spot where it stands as cleared and built upon.
(click through this thumbnail for higher resolution image)
its best hope is for the housing sector to remain in the tank, but even that will provide only a temporary stay of execution.
even so, a short term is better than none and we will continue to appreciate it for however long it may remain.
if there's one thing we have learned so far, it's that the building industry is not responsive to petitions.
this tract is wooded in some sections and has several fields. though it does not lie within our boundaries our town has been engaged for years in discussions with a series of developers about what is to come.
from their perspective it's all about the density and we have never obtained so much as a single buildable lot worth of concession in that regard.
the best we have been able to obtain -- and it has come after phenomenal amounts of volunteer hours as well as a considerable legal expense in our municipal budget (and, as a result, a certain level of acrimony within the Town over the expense) -- has been for a part of one of the fields to be set aside as a legacy open space preserve.
this tree, unfortunately, is not in that section.
even the preservation is not absolutely guaranteed and we are currently in litigation in an effort to secure its protection.
wish us luck!

GLEE-cap #7
Gwyneth Paltrow - triple threat! Girlfriend can sing, act, and dance. This episode ("The Substitute") featured Mrs. Chris Martin as a sub at McKinley High. I really liked this episode (yeah for liking 2 episodes in a row!) because it felt like last season. It had that first-season feel. Not preachy, quirky & humorous dialogue, Sue Sylvester up to no good (and inner-monologuing while writing in her journal), and amazing kick-a song/dance numbers. Woohoo!
Quick mention of two things I did not like in this episode: 1) ex-wife Terri's appearance and 2) the unacceptable lack of Stamos. We want Dr. Carl!!
With that out of the way, let's jump in.
10) LOVED seeing the GLEEks as little kids. Mr. Schuester has a fever and turns around to see little Mini-Me's of his students.
"Looking good, Puckerman. Someone's been eatin' their Wheaties." -mini Santana
(*kissing arm muscles*) "These guns are fully loaded." -mini Puck
"Mr. Schue, I for one think we should use our set list for Sectionals to start exploring the 'Oof' of one Bernadette Peters." -mini Rachel
"Someday I'm gonna go to Paris and visit the 'Ouvre'." -mini Brittany
"I just wanna dance." -mini Mike Chang
9) After sliding into the choir room on the buttered floor, Holly Holiday sang "Forget You" for the kids. Cee-Lo's song is actually called "F*** You" (classy) but this is the edited version for the radio. And Gwyneth rocked it! My favorite part of the song: "Yah I'm sorry. I can't afford a ferrari. But that don't mean I can't get you there. I guess she's an Xbox. And I'm more an Atari."
8) As principal, Sue now has Becky acting as her secretary. Seeing her run into Sue's office with a headset on was classic.
7) "Make 'Em Laugh"! Ok, I must preface the gushing about to burst forth by sharing that I absolutely ADORE the movie Singing in the Rain. I really do. It was a staple musical growing up in my house (along with Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Hello Dolly). And although the entire movie is fantastic, my favorite song was always "Make 'Em Laugh" by Donald O'Connor. I could watch that scene 100 times and never tire of it. So when Mr. Schuester and Mike Chang re-enacted that song in the episode, I was grinning like an idiot the entire time. I especially liked when they hit their heads on the boards and pretended to run in a circle on the ground. Wheee!! Also, hearing Matthew Morrison's sing was an extra bonus. His voice is like buttah.
6) When Mercedes went in to Sue's office to complain about the tater tots being taken away and Sue called her "Jackée", I deep-belly-laughed for two whole minutes. I thought I was going to pee my pants. And then Sue held up a stalk of broccoli.
"Do you know what this is?" -Sue
"Toilet brush." -Mercedes
5) Rachel and Holly singing "Nowadays" from Chicago. The dancing went on a bit too long, but I thought their voices sounded really good together.
4) "So why don't you go home. Rest. Watch some TV. Die. Doesn't matter." -Sue to Will
3) "Oh my gosh, I open my mouth and a little purse falls out." -Kurt at Breadsticks
2) "Her name was 'Cameo'. She was like an attractive Biggie Smalls." -Holly Holiday
1) "The "Singing in the Rain"/"Umbrella" mash-up. This was probably the BEST dance sequence this year so far. AmAzing. I loved the guys with their vests, ties, and hats and the ladies in their jackets. I wanted to jump on stage and sing and dance and splash with all of them!
What did you think of "The Substitute"?

I've always been a dreamer. For what I would be when I grew up to all the places I'd like to travel to. From what kind of car I would love to drive to what my teenage kids would one day be like. And the crazy part is that most all of my dreams eventually come true. From my first career job as a Software Engineer in Silicon Valley, to my fourth job as an International Missionary in India, to my eight job as an Educator in my home town – getting to eat lunch with my elderly parents everyday, whatever I was able to dream up and envision eventually became my reality.
And though I still don't have a '57 Corvette and I still haven't made it to Machu Picchu, I walk around with a confidence that it is only a matter of time standing in between me and whatever that next dream may be; which is amazing and an obstacle all at the same time.
While confidently believing that your dreams will almost always come true is a blessing for obvious reasons, this belief has the power to steal your focus. For every moment you spending thinking, planning, preparing, and working toward your future, you are sacrificing your time in the present. Even though this preparation and hard work is necessary as dreams don't become reality simply by wishing for them to come true, there is a fine line between working towards a goal and worrying about a future that you can't control.
Last night, after Bonnie and I tucked our three daughters into bed, I laid down on the floor of their night-light lit room as we do every night until they have all fallen asleep. But this time, rather than just pull out my phone and surf, I decided to sit up and do a little meditation. As I relaxed to the sound of crashing waves coming from their white-noise sound machine, I focused on the still small voice of God that is always present, but often drowned out by the world.
After about just a minute or two, I asked God what She wanted to tell me today and She immediately responded: "Don't miss it".
Yes, your dreams and desires are important and planning, hard work, and dedication are necessary for goals to be accomplished, but today you are living your dreams from ten years ago! What good is it to accomplish your dreams if you never take the time necessary to focus on both the fruits of your labor and the gifts God has blessed you with?
While you've had to work hard to provide food and shelter for your family, the miracle of your healthy children comes not by your hand. It is a divine gift that should be cherished whole-heartedly! So work when it is time to work, but do not work when it is time to enjoy!
Now is the time to be present in your dreams that have already come to fruition.
Don't miss it.

As part of my ongoing working process, I produce non-figurative painting and graphic assemblages. These works result from my continuing visual enquiry into materials, methods and processes. The absence of an applied communication outcome enables me to focus purely on the mechanics of composition. In so doing, I attempt to explore the interrelationship of line, colour, spacial dynamics, materiality and surface. These pieces and the characteristics they reveal, add to my visual vocabulary and help to inform the work I make for applied contexts in illustration and design.

Pink Parade
Day works into night,
a great blue heron silhouettes black against
the last pink slip of sunset.
Near the end of my route,
kitchen lights outnumber the stars,
the year's new twilight shadows me home.
If nothing had changed, this dusk would make
all the difference, but our flag flags
in bitter gusts of assumption.
Now a planet blinks through the trees.
Stern branches, still bare, bow in a promise
of bud, leaf, and flower, even fruit.
Hope springs eternal,
because the Eternal rises from mud,
springs from the tomb, and pours, like rain
into the street.

I have been musing upon my personal trajectory. Unmistakably, experiences and activities over the last few years have considerably deepened my spiritual connection to life. More recently, I've found myself wondering, "What is being asked of me now"? And, more importantly, "Am I honoring and fulfilling the Call?"
As I observe fellow travelers on spiritual paths, and hear about their rituals and customs for connection and reverence, it can be tempting to find fault with my own practices and deem myself lacking. On the other side of the spectrum, because I accept and understand my Path is my own, I can make compelling arguments around my relationship with Spirit being unique and in perfection. However, all of this is bothersome in that these are intellectual layers with flavors of manipulation.
I don't want to be convinced, rather I long to be in flow.
So, I slid into a creative space today and simply listened. The following arrived, bringing with it the ease, flow and peace I desired. Thank you, Spirit.
The shift out of fear and into curiosity begets animation from neutrality.
Liberated from a canvas, Spirit can nurture new mediums through me.
An ever evolving installation of magic, elegance and revery,
LIFE itself becomes prayer in motion.

text: Many of my photos I will look for dramatic elements like bursting sunsets and strong cloud formations, but in this early morning sunrise shot I just kept it simple with a long exposure to haze the water and smooth out the sky. I like the layered effect of this shot with the rock formations stacking on top of each other with the water in between. I would normally convert this to B&W but I liked the color of the rocks and sky so I'm keeping it as is. Well enough analyzing... Enjoy.

Hundreds of game developers from China and Indonesia gathered at the Century Park Hotel, Jakarta yesterday, for an annual event to discuss the future of Indonesia's gaming industry. The event was pioneered by the China-ASEAN Mobile Internet Industry Alliance (CAMIA) in partnership with Baidu Indonesia.
It brought together companies, startups and entrepreneurs working in the field of mobile game and app development. As a follow-up to last year's event in Bangkok, Bao Jianlei, Director of Baidu Indonesia, stated, "(The event) is in line with Baidu's mission to develop the mobile Internet ecosystem, including the mobile gaming industry in Indonesia."
Indonesia was chosen for its rapidly growing market for mobile games. Based on existing data, the industry has experienced 120 per cent hike in revenue, cementing its position for the fastest growth in Southeast Asia.
Next year's event is also expected to be held in Jakarta.

Introducing MoboMarket
Baidu also used the occasion to introduce MoboMarket, an alternative application store for Android users.
"In Indonesia, we present MoboMarket as an application store with strong local characteristics. Developers can utilise this to distribute the games they (have) created, so that it can easily reach users in the country," said Bao.
Built in partnership with local developers, MoboMarket was first introduced in February 2014.
According to the company, as of June 2015, more than 500,000 apps are available at the store, with more than 1,000 of them produced by Indonesian developers. The company also claimed that MoboMarket has been downloaded 10 million times with more than 4 million active users.

I am now the proud owner of a Mongolian visa. Surprisingly, the entry arrangements are rather pleasant. I get 30 days from when I enter the country, which can be anytime from the beginning of July until the end of September (if we get really lost….). I suspect some of the other countries won't be quite as relaxed (Turkmen;stan for example).
So, next stop on the expensive visa tour is Kazakhstan. Here hopes this one is as simple….
EDIT: It won't be as simple, because their website is still down. Ho hum.

I just read a fascinating article written by Raquel Laneri from Forbes.com. Raquel provides excellent insight and advice about common body language mistakes in classroom, social, and business settings. While her article is aimed at professional businesswomen, there are some great tidbits in there for men as well.
I encourage you to read Raquel's full article, Body Language Decoded, and then view the corresponding pictures of Seven Common Body Language Mistakes. Below is a sneak preview of some of the things you will learn:
-- Be careful about how and when you tilt your head.
--Avoid excessive smiling; instead make your facial expressions congruent with what you are saying.
--Don't fold your arms in front of you.
--Never play with or tug at your hair, jewelry, or clothes.
How can you become aware of some of these habits and learn to suppress them? First, ask a trusted friend, colleague, mentor, or business partner to provide some honest feedback about your non-verbal body language. Once they help you to identify the undesirable gestures, try to replace a bad habit (e.g., tugging at jewelry) with something that might not be so noticeable (e.g., wiggling your toes). Another idea is to give a speech in front of a videocamera. Watch the video without the sound on in order to focus on your non-verbal gestures. Finally, watch yourself in a mirror while you speak to someone on the telephone. This allows you the opportunity to become self-aware of body language in a more private setting.

Men are usually very simple with the clothes that they wear. They pick a style that they love and they pick the colors that suits them best. It can take an hour for a woman to decide what she wants – but for a man it can take five minutes. But that doesn't mean they don't require some necessities every now and then.
One thing that most men love to have on hand is a great pair of lace up work boots. These are considered to be the most popular type of boots that a man can own. They are especially used by men who love to spend their time outdoors hunting, camping, or maybe just chopping wood. They also use them when they have a job that requires hours of manual labor.
They are some of the thickest pairs of shoes that you can find on the market today. The boots are made to go all the way up to the man's ankle and to be worn with socks at all times. Unless you don't mind having blisters all over your feet. The outside of them are made with soft material that can be found in almost any manly color that you can think of that includes black, tan, and gray.
One of the most important feature that makes these boots special is the reinforced toes that they are built with. This is also known as a steel toe and is used to protect their feet should anything heavy fall on them. It can prevent their bones from breaking or things from puncturing them through the shoe. It is also made with a slip resistant soles.
Many of these types of shoes will look alike – but not all of them are of the same caliber. Make sure that you shop around and find the best one for you. Don't be afraid to spend a lot of money because these boots will last you for years.
