The reason why so many of the top 3 skated two programs was that most of the 4th-6th finishers are on their way to Korea for 4CC. Some of them would have performed in the gala.
The reason why so many of the top 3 skated two programs was that most of the 4th-6th finishers are on their way to Korea for 4CC. Some of them would have performed in the gala.
What are the reasons for taking ice shows as serious as competitive skating?
Those skaters in the Gala are all hyped up to go to Vancouver. Not at their best? So what?
Neither Jeremy or Evan seemed to have thier feet under them.
My favorite skate of the night were Mark and Evora. She still looked like she was in a blissful shock and it was a beautiful program.
I am suprised that Sasha did not skate in the exhbition. The crowd would have loved to see her. As somebody else mentioned we often have 4th place finishers skating, but most are going to 4CC. Sasha was not named to the 4CC team which is a wonder to me, so I don't see why they didn't ask her to stay for the exhibition.

All of the top ladies were invited to 4CC, but Rachael, Ashley and Sasha turned it down because they were all focused on Vancouver. It was decided beforehand that the Olympic team would not be going to 4CC because it would take away a big chunk of practice time right before Vancouver.
I'm also sure Sasha was invited to perform in the exhibition, but she probably declined. I think her injury flared up after her SP and the only cure is rest.
If some of the skaters seemed not at their best, they were probably exhausted. Also, the top men had finished their competitions a week beforehand, and got little if any practice time after that.
Jeremy's twitter implied that he went back to Michigan in between. So he was probably exausted from all the shuffling back and forth he had to do. Shame on USFSA for kowtowing to NBC's two-week demands in an Olympic year.

I like the skater who entertains me, and I have no idea what it is about it - because my likes aren't all the same type of skater...
and not all of them are hot (just incase Joesitz tries to suggest that's the common thread )

"Boy Scouts Affirm Policy Prohibiting Gays"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Boy Scouts Affirm Policy Prohibiting Gays
Please enter your comments below.
Boy Scouts policy on gays in their organization
I fully agree with the policy of The Boy Scouts of America on not allowing homosexuals into their organization. It is a unhealthy lifestyle and should not be promoted in the Boy Scouts. I have nothing against the homosexual, but I do not want to see marriage redefined and my prayer is that they would see the importance of family as one man and one woman.
Boy Scouts
The Scouts did the right thing based not only their charter but also in protection of their organiztion from a legal standpoint. To be clear, I have gay friends, am very tolerant of "alternative" lifestyles, race, cultures, etc. I was also involved in Scouting for a good number of years. I believe that the Penn State situation should be enough to understand why it is important for the scouts to continue with their ban. This is certainly in no way saying that gays are of the Sandusky mold. However, if you have never been involved in scouting you would not understand the situations that are available for potential issues. The Scouting program has instituted many protections and has a great risk management program, however, as a large organization they are also open for a legal assault should a Penn State situation arise.
Here we are, still confusing pedophilia with homosexuality. Morons. So I guess when a man molests a little girl, we have to assume that all heterosexuals may molest children, right? WBEN's core audience is out in force I see. P.S. Gotta love the "I have gay friends" guy. Oy vey.
Boy Scouts
I hope they never give in. The goal of the homosexuals is to make their lifestyle equal to heterosexuals. It isn't and it never will be. The Bible calls it an abomination. They are sick.
Bible, bible, bible
People who think the bible is the word of "God" have a mental illness. They obviously enjoy storytime.
Story time!
People who don't think there is a Hell will realize story time was actually not a "story"!
@Story time
Keep telling yourself the bible isn't man-made. I already sold the Brooklyn bridge to the first poster....but I do have the Rainbow bridge available just for YOU.
Good decision!
I'm glad the boy scouts kept this policy intact. Being morally straight has been a part of the scout oath for over a hundred years and this honorable tradition should not be changed.
great post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing. Im sure, youve a great readers base already!

Would the same inclusion criteria apply to a 20 to 50 year old man asking to be a girl scout leader for a similarly aged troop of girl scouts? Likely not allowed. (I sent this comment to the Bauerly site as well)

Le Gougne made many statements. The only thing that is certain is that the moment her name was announced as an Olympic judge, suddenly she became everybody's best friend. Folks who never gave her the time of day suddenly started inviting her to birthday parties and chatted her up at every opportunity.That's was she said in an official interview, while denying any cheating, saing she was forced to "admit" cheating by some members of Canadian federation and a few more.

I thought it was Jamie and David who did not warm up to Orchid, rather the the judges and fans. Orchid had far more complex choreography, but the skaters never gave a convincing performance of it, especially in the Grand Prix Finals.
Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze, on the other hand, went the opposite way. They should have done some version of their choreographic masterpiece Charlie Chaplin instead of the generic pretty-pretty Thais.
I, a casual fan, fell in love with Orchid at first sight. It was a disappointing surprise that Jami and David decided not to keep the program. At that time, I visited FSU every now and then, and I recalled some posters praised it as a masterpiece. Then again, my memory could be skewed. I might have remembered only what was in agreement with my opinion.

Many of the local and county level political representatives attended the annual meeting sponsored by the Utah Department of Transportation held in Castle Dale recently. This informational meeting is held to alert local officials to the funding opportunities and road projects taking place in the Emery County area.
Brett Hadley, local government programs engineer, explained the types of funding available for the different types of transportation projects out there.
New this year is the local government transportation federal aid instruction book. Catherine Cutler, local government project development, explained the handbook to each of the mayors, council persons, and commissioners in attendance.
Another new item this year is the local transportation enhancement funds for bike/pedestrian pathways, landscaping/beautification, and historical preservation. Hadley explained the types of projects that would qualify for this funding. Hadley also stressed the need for cities, towns, and counties to have a transportation master plan due to the fact that road planning is done with projections looking forward for 30 years.
Another source of funding that has recently become available for counties is Senate Bill 8. This bill deals with the preservation of transportation corridors, and the money raised from this source can only be used to purchase property to provide for future needs. This recently passed piece of legislation allows county councils of government to impose an extra fee on the registration of vehicles.
Emery County has nearly 10,500 registered vehicles, and Hadley explained that the county could raise more than $100,000 by adding a $10 extra fee to the vehicle registration. Although, the amount any county can impose is up to the discretion of the county. He stated that at the moment, only two counties, Salt Lake and Utah counties, have imposed this extra fee on the residents with vehicles.
UDOT region four representative Daryl Friant announced the projects that will be taking place in Emery County this season. "The big construction project that will affect Emery County the most is the pavement rehabilitation of SR-10 from the Hunter Plant to Castle Dale. This project has been contracted with Nielson Construction and will begin in the next 30-60 days," said Friant.
"Another project will take place on SR-6 at milepost 288. This project will rehabilitate and replace the deck on the bridge over the railroad tracks. During the period of redecking the bridge, the traffic will be down to one lane only. We are hoping that delays will be minimal, and the construction company is Herbert Construction.
"Clyde Construction will be doing a project at the Helper interchange. I know this is not in Emery County, but Emery County residents may be interested, especially if they travel to the Wasatch Front. Another project on SR-6 will be a rotomill project near Sunnyside.
"We have several projects in the design and planning stages. One that is in the environmental study phase is the lane level project from the Muddy Creek to Ferron. We are hoping that road will hold up until the summer of 2007, when we are hoping this project will begin. We are also in the preliminary engineering process of SR-10 from Muddy Creek to Emery.
"There are also several projects in the design phase for SR-6. One is between Scofield to the top of Price Canyon. We are hoping to make that four lanes next year. We are also hoping the next legislative session will approve another project from Wellington to Sunnyside. This project will widen the road to four lanes. Another widening project that is in the planning stage is between milepost 281-288.
"In Spanish Fork Canyon, we are looking to relocate the Tucker rest stop to the Sky View area in the future, and because of the wetland issues, SR-6 will never be completely four lanes. In some areas of the canyon, it will be two or three lanes," finished Friant.

Consumer Reports says the heavily advertised 2014 Lexus IS 250 and technology-laden Infiniti Q50 are among the worst of expensive sport sedans.
That means they'll drop off the lists of the many shoppers who closely follow the magazine's ratings.
The CR ratings didn't go unchallenged, and not just by the aggrieved car companies.
"I'm surprised by any suggestion that these cars have somehow lost their way or regressed," says Karl Brauer senior analyst at auto researcher Kelley Blue Book.
Both cars are refined and drive well, he says. Both feature the latest technology and have better fuel economy and performance than previous models, in Brauer's view.
CR's comments, and the car company responses:
Lexus IS 250:
Though the IS 250 was ranked "good" overall, it had "the worst road test score posted by any Lexus sedan in recent memory. Other competitors posting higher overall road test scores include the BMW 328i, Mercedes-Benz C250, Lincoln MKZ 2.0 EcoBoost and Volvo S60 T5," CR says.
The publication chose to test the IS 250 rather than its sportier sibling, the IS 350, because it is the version most people buy. Lexus says about 80% of buyers go for the less expensive 250, which has a smaller, more economical engine.
ANOTHER VIEW: USA TODAY Test Drive calls IS 350 a strong performer
CR says it "found the Lexus IS 250 is neither sporty nor luxurious."
Optional, weight-adding, all-wheel-drive and the modest, 204-horsepower of the Consumer Reports test car meant that "acceleration lacks punch," while gas mileage was "disappointing at 21 mpg overall in CR's own tests"
CR also criticized IS 250's handling and ride as "short on finesse, with vague-feeling steering that doesn't telegraph much feedback. Road noise is elevated, and the ride is neither plush nor tied-down."
It found the car cramped. "The interior is very tight, even when considered against the modest standards for sports sedans, with a narrow cabin, wide center console and large overhanging dashboard."
And it did not like the console-mounted controller for the infotainment screen: "The IS 250's controls now include the fussy, distracting mouse-like controller found in other Lexus models."
Lexus said it has "a great amount of respect for Consumer Reports and takes its reviews very seriously. Lexus is currently assessing the CR review for the all-new 2014 IS 250 AWD" because "Lexus is unclear on the cause for the low rating. We look forward to engaging in a discussion with them to get more direct feedback."
Lexus says the car is selling well and has gotten good reviews elsewhere.
Infiniti Q50:
The Q50 replaces the G37 in the brand's line, as Infiniti shifts all its models to "Q" names.
While CR rated the car "very good," and said it was "very quick, even with the added weight of the optional all-wheel-drive system." But, the magazine says, the Q50 "has taken a step back from its excellent predecessor," and ranked near the bottom among its premium sports sedan rivals.
"The Infiniti G has been one of Consumer Reports' highest-rated sedans for many years, but after its 2014 redesign and transition to the new Q designation, this car seems to have lost its way," said Jake Fisher, director of CR's automotive testing.
CR says: "The Q50 isn't as much fun to drive as the G37. Handling is mundane, due in part to dull steering.
"The underwhelming driving experience strips the car of much of its sporty legacy. The Q50 also doesn't ride well and isn't particularly quiet.'
Infiniti has promoted the car's high-tech luxury, but CR found "its new InTouch dual-screen controls are slow to respond, and interior quality is nothing special."
Infiniti noted that the Q50 received a "very good" rating, and says the car company's "engineers are analyzing the publication's findings."
Infiniti said it's reasonable the Q didn't get a "recommended" rating because it's a new model and has no track record for reliability, which is a key element of CR scoring.
The carmaker forecast good reliability and said: "We feel strongly that once these reliability results are in, our new luxury sports sedan will be on Consumer Reports' 'recommended' list.
To earn "recommended" a car or truck must have average or better reliability in CR's annual reader ownership surveys, in addition to doing well in CR's tests and getting good scores in government and industry crash tests.

So So
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Well, could he be a retired admiral who came out of retirement because of the new lack of admirals? He could have lost his eyes in a fight with hawk eye or something, then later retired and came back when they only had one admiral.
I would find it hilarious if this guy was indeed Fujitora, and he ends up not confronting the Strawhats at all during this arc because he can't since that they're the scum he was sent after. Like he said, he doesn't have to lay eyes on the riff-raff of the world--so maybe he can sense who that riff-raff is. Of course, he would never get that vibe from Luffy and Co., so he may never detect them as pirates.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Hmmm..even though it's the most logic theory, a blind admiral doesn't sound good to me. What if he's the Shogun of Wano - who probably got beaten/blinded by kaido pirates and exiled from the island. I can see Oda referring the Shogun to a famous actor aswell. Then we have Kinemon's jaw drop in the next chapter, mention his name and a glimpse of what happened in Wano kuni!
well kinimon saw him, i doubt hes from wano if he look as shocked as every one else. But i wonder, if he is an admiral he uses haki, with strong enough CoO you really dont need to see all that much. i mean Enel for example had strong enough CoO that he would not have to see because he could basically hear what you were thinking. So i mean if he is an admiral his blindness is not all that big a deal. IMO
Oda's sick. No chapter this week.
I Love You!
^ Shame, Oda gets sick easy. But it makes sense, in my experience Manga writers don't always have the healthiest habits.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I don't have any proof, but considering how big One Piece is I'm sure he has a entire team of people working on the next chapter. He probably only does rough drafts, and of course the story lines.

too bad they didn't have another size I could try
"I love the style of this shoe and absolutely love the coral color, however, I usually wear a 7.5 or 8m; I got this in 8M since they didn't have 7.5, but the strap for my foot is way too wide and I was unable to walk in them--the shoes kept coming off my feet. If you can find a size that fits you, get them! My review isn't great only because I couldn't get this shoe in the color I wanted, and in a 7.5."

At the recent public lands council meeting, Emery County Public Lands Administrator Ray Petersen, who covers access for the public lands council, informed the council that a meeting had taken place concerning the trail between Huntington Canyon and the Des-Bee-Dove road. This trail has been used in the past for an OHV poker ride during Huntington's Heritage Days. A request was made to the county commissioners to apply for the rights-of-way from SITLA to this area.
One issue raised in the meeting concerning this trail is the RS-2477 rights on this trail. Many other issues concerning the county's acquisition of the easement to this trail were also brought forward. Petersen stated the next meeting of this committee will be Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. in the public lands office in the county building.
Petersen also stated the Emery County Commissioners are attending the Utah Association of Governments conference where the ongoing RS-2477 issues will be discussed. Their reports will be presented at next month's meeting.
Gary Petty, who presides over the forest service issues for the public lands council reported he has attended several meetings with the forest service. These meetings have been centered around the issues of the beetle killed trees and wildlife protection surrounding those killed trees. "Should there be a forest fire, the stands of dead pines trees will virtually explode, and the wildlife habitat would be destroyed. Not only that, but that is our watershed and I see a real potential for disaster for Emery County. It appears to me that the forest service is doing all they can do at this time to deal with the issue of the dead trees," said Petty. "The prescribed burns that were planned have not been done due to the wet weather in October, but the forest service will keep doing what they can."
Petersen mentioned the five year plan the forest service has in place. He stated the plan has a fuels reduction component and several projects have been completed. "As far as the beetle killed trees, the damage has been done here, it is too late. The forest service is doing some spraying, but it is mostly too late," said Petersen.
Vernell Rowley, who covers heritage of public lands, reported a meeting was held recently concerning the Old Spanish Trail. This meeting concerned the agencies involved in the national trails committee, and the Old Spanish Trail has definitely been named to the national register. The trail has three unique items pertaining to Emery County.
Two of those items are points where the trail crosses water, one being the Huntington Creek and the other being the Green River crossing. The third item of uniqueness is that 85 miles of the Old Spanish Trail is in Emery County.
Petersen mentioned the resource management plan that will be issued by the BLM now has a section that specifically addresses the Old Spanish Trail.
Bruce Wilson, council chairman, reported on the mining, minerals, and coal bed methane. He said SUFCO mine is having problems with their drilling rigs. The small rigs that have been brought in have tested the coal in the upper seam, and it has been found unsatisfactory. Bigger rigs will need to be brought in to drill into the lower seam. If the findings on the quality of that coal are the same as the upper seam, the project will be abandoned.
Wilson also stated that XTO has donated $600 to the Emery County Fire District. He also mentioned that XTO is attempting to amend their permit concerning their pumps and pumping stations. The change will enable them to pump more product.
A new mine is being proposed near the town of Scofield. The owners are applying for the necessary permits. Also, the recent court decision has set the Rilda Canyon project back. Petersen stated at a recent meeting concerning the Lila Canyon Mine, John Baza from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, declared a close to the informal hearing concerning the project. A decision will come within 60 days of the final date of the end of the hearing process.
Petersen reported the project at the Wedge is mostly completed. The road has been graveled, and the parking area near the restroom has been finished. The final decision is not to address camping in this area at this time. Camping should remain the same as in past years. New picnic tables have been placed in the area. Petersen also noted no dust suppression for the road was allowed in the permit.
Wayne Luddington of the BLM noted there is still some clean up to do at the site, along with delineation of campsites. Informational kiosks and more signs will be placed in the area as soon as they are available.
Petersen informed Sherrel Ward, who is over the water for the public lands council, the recommendations recently made by the NRCS to lower participation rates to 50 percent has alarmed many people. The Huntington irrigation project which involves the installation of sprinkler systems has been guaranteed to be completed at the old rate of 75 percent. Any other projects concerning the Colorado River Salinity Project will be taken on a case by case basis.
Ward informed the council that negotiations with CW Mining have been completed concerning the perentages of water. The Mohrland portal is proposed to open in 2007 and the Hiawatha portal is proposed to open in 2008. These are located on private property.
Luddington told the council of the hiring of Bill Allinson. The BLM has secured money from OHV funds to hire Allinson as the OHV volunteer coordinator. So far, Allinson has logged more than 200 volunteer hours in several trail maintenance projects throughout the area. A new map for the San Rafael Swell OHV trails has been proposed. A committee has been formed to undertake this project.
Another project being undertaken by the BLM is the remodeling of the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. The visitor center at the quarry will be expanded, and the observation platforms will be redone. Along with the other upgrades, new sidewalks will be installed. Luddington stated the BLM hopes to have this project completed by April.
Sgt. Carl Gramlich of the Division of Wildlife Resources reported concerning the hunting seasons. He said the weather this year was quite different from last year. As a result, the animals are more dispersed and harder to find. The final numbers of the success of hunters will be known at a later date. He also stated that if someone is having problems with beavers in the waterways, call Casey Olsen or Jay Topham with the DWR, and they will help.
Bryan Torgersen from SITLA informed the council of a new project coming in the near future. The project will be drilling for oil and gas in the Drunkard's Wash area on SITLA managed property. He mentioned negotiations are ongoing with the DWR concerning SITLA managing some lands in the Range Creek area for the University of Utah.
As a final act of the public lands council for November, it was approved to begin the advertising process for the four seats on the council that will become vacant at the end of the year. Petersen explained the seats now held by Bruce Wilson, Vernell Rowley, Clyde Magnuson, and Sherrel Ward will be available. Those members who now hold those seats are eligible to reapply.
The next public lands council meeting will be Dec. 13 at 10 a.m. in the county building.

Love Birkenstock
"I am almost 60 and have just recently started wearing Birkenstocks. I needed something that didn't make my feet hurt. I am usually an 8 or 8 1/2 Medium, but find in Birkenstock and Betula's I am an 8 Narrow. Both pairs I have ordered have fit perfectly."

"I had my first pair of Birkenstock in high school and I never dreamed I would ever buy another pair, but I am so happy that I did. These are just as comfy as I remember them being and they're way cuter than the pic shows. These shoes are as functional as they are cute."

Betula beauties
"I have stayed away from Birkenstock in the past because of their blocky style, even though I heard how comfortable they are. When I saw these new designs I was intrigued and ordered a pair. The shoe does run wide (I wear a regular width but fit into the narrow pair just fine). Some reviews say these run long, but I think they are true to size. Although the sandal fits my foot, the Birkenstock company suggests you have significant room from toes to top and heel to bottom. I am a half size and ordered a size down...in the future I will order a size up. And yes, these are COMFY!"

The Brooks PureCadence is a low profile, lightweight trainer with a touch of pronation support. It offers moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
Pure. To Brooks this means simple, natural, and free, and the Brooks PureCadence embodies each of these things. The simple, elemental design includes a resilient midsole that lets you feel the ground under your feet. The soft, yet supportive upper and reinforced heel offer a touch of guidance for over-pronators, and the 5mm heel-to-toe offset encourages a more natural forward footstrike. The result is a lightweight, uncomplicated design, for a shoe that offers both support and speed.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.1 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (22mm), Forefoot (17mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The PureCadence is a minimum featured, minimum support shoe designed for daily training or racing.
Comments: This was a great shoe for me. I am flat-footed, 165 lbs. I was a mid-foot striker up until march of last year when I was hit by a pickup truck while running. I was planning to use this shoe for the Boston Marathon in 2012. The accident broke both bones in my right lower leg, just above the ankle. I now have a titanium rod running the full lenth of my lower right leg. The result is my left foot still over-pronates but my right foot does not. I do not have full strength back in my right ankle yet, so I have to run with a heel strike now as well. These shoes still worked for me. I trained and ran Boston in these shoes this year, 2013, with no issues what-so-ever. I managed to put 500 miles on them before giving them up.
From: Neil, Mukilteo, WA, USA
Comments: Excellent shoes for 5K through 15K. Not sure how it feels on the Half/full marathon. Stocked up three pairs already.
From: Andy, Tampa, FL, USA
Comments: Changed over to this shoe recently (from Nike Free+) and love the feel. I'm a heavier runner wanting to expand distance. Very happy with this one! (6'0", 215 lbs, normal arch no pronation issue, 20-30 mi/wk, on my way to 50)
From: J, FS, AR, USA
Comments: I made the switch to the Pure Cadence after exclusively using the Nike Zoom Structure Triax. They provide great support without feeling clunky like the majority of so called support shoes. I have very flat feet and moderately overpronate, so i wasn't sure if this would be enough shoe for me. I'm glad I gave them a chance! The fit is comfortable, I had no leg or shin pain after my first couple of test runs in the cadence (4 mile and 6 mile). It feels great to be able to just run and not have to worry about your feet. I'm very satisfied and look forward to racking up the miles with these on my feet!
From: Rueben, Texas
Comments: Here's my firsthand experience of the PureCadence. Keep in mind I run in many shoes varying from 6.9oz to about 10.9oz and varying in drop from 12mm to 4mm. That being said this is definitely one of the faster shoes I run in. The lower heel to toe drop obviously encourages a much more natural midfoot to forefoot stride. I'm 5'6" 147 pounds so that works for me, but I could see this shoe not being for heavier runners who need more support. I love the feel of this shoe for a racer or trainer. My times in this shoe are lower then the lighter Mizuno Wave Musha 4 which I also love for training but wouldn't recommend for racing. That's mostly due to the 4mm drop (Musha has 9mm) that encourages a more natural flat style of running that I like better. This is definitely a great transitional shoe that I highly recommend for anything from 5K to probably half marathon. For anyone that have run in the PureFlow (my favorite shoe now) I've noticed that the PureCadence have a considerably looser toe box. Not an issue for me, but some people like a tighter toe box.
I have not noticed any issues with the strap or the mid-foot post. Different shoes work for different runners and I'm not going to bash a shoe that doesn't work for me. I have a pair of Kinvara 2s that I just can't run in. They cause me to pull a calf muscle almost every time. Great shoe, they just don't work for me.
From: Mike, MD,USA
Comments: I went from a crappy pair of base line addidas to the PureCadence and have found the WORLD of difference in quality and comfort. I run Apx 20-25 miles per week and have found these shoes to have great response, support and cushion. I am flat footed, and wanted a minimalist style shoe and this was by FAR the best choice. Given I'm not catering properly to my pronation issues, these shoes still handles my needs. They are a perfect fit as well.
From: Kevin, Bethel, CT, USA
Comments: I brought the PureCadence into rotation with Brooks Glycerin 9 and New Balance 890. As a mostly midfoot striker (very light rearfoot strike), I really like the feel of the Cadence. Light, snug-fitting without binding, cushioned but not numb. I usually use structured insoles, but I use the Cadence as-is without any issues. I have ~100mi on mine, and they seem like they have many more to give. Solid shoe. [Me: 6'1", 170 lbs, flat feet but no pronation issues, 40-55mi/wk.]
From: Clive, Charlotte, NC, USA
Comments: I was a mid foot striker and minimalist shoe user before I got the Pure Cadence. So had no transition time at all. I have worn and ran in all of the Pure line and this is the best of the lot. I do have some mild pronation issues and this shoe addresses them nicely. I run about 55-60 miles a week and have done 90% of that in the Pure Cadence with no issues. I highly recommend this shoe.
From: George, Manteca, CA, USA
Comments: My experience was similar to Kevin. I also transitioned from the Structure Triax 14 to the Pure Cadence. Although I am a mid-foot striker, I did a slow transition to the shoe. I am a little heavy on my foot strike (6'3 195#). I really like the shoes and now rotate with the Structures and Saucony Mirages depending on how I feel and what run I am doing that day. You will transition to a shorter stride in these. I run anywhere from 20 to 40 mi/wk depending if I have a race coming up.
From: Vence, Lexington, KY USA
Comments: I had a very different experiment than first reviewer Zach. I was already a mid foot striker and started running with three mile runs the day I got them. The strap across the fore foot does have a different feel. I am coming from a full blown stability shoe (Air Structure Triax) and after 100 miles or so I love the Pure Cadence. Very well cushioned, but also very responsive. If you are a heal striker you may need to transition into them. Again, as mid foot striker I did not.
From: Kevin, USA
Comments: Minimalist and naturalist runners beware. Like so many minimalist shoes, the PureCadence offers a much more natural cadence, ground contact, and push-off, but in an attempt to appease pronators, Brooks inserted a noticeably uncomfortable mid-foot post.
The location and size of the post is such that anything short of a complete fore-foot strike will cause immediate plantar fascia pain, or at least discomfort. This shoe takes a great deal of time and acclamation to produce consistent, positive results. Rather than jump into it full-time, runners should begin with occasional substitutions for very short runs and excruciatingly gradually increase frequency and distance. My personal experience says to never use this shoe for a full-time trainer.
From: Zach, Grand Rapids, MI, USA

fit great until you go up or downstairs
"I loved these...until I wore them and went to work! something presses on a spot on my foot that shoots a pain down my foot when going up/downstairs in these shoes that you wouldnt notice if you were walking around in the store with them on.

Cute for young adults
"I bought this shoe because I needed a comfortable loafer appropriate for younger adults. They are very comfy and very cute. I will say that the toe area stretches a bit and makes the shoe seem a half size larger. I would size down if you do not plan on wearing thick socks with them."

Canada vs Puerto Rico World League qualifier: pre-series comments
KINGSTON, Ontario- Head coaches Glenn Hoag of Team Canada and Carlos Cardona of Puerto Rico are ready for a tough final round of the World League Qualification Series.
Both matches start at 7 PM at the K-Rock Centre.
"These two matches are very important matches for us," says Hoag "both because they help us prepare for the NORCECA Championships which start August 27th, and because it qualifies us for the World League, something we have been striving for and is great for our program. We just came back from a successful tour in Europe, where we played 10 matches in 14 days."
Canada is ranked 22nd in the world while Puerto Rico is ranked 15th.
"My expectations are for the Puerto Rico team to stay in the World League for next year." states Cardona, "We need to start playing at the very first point because that could be the difference at the end of the match."
Tickets can be purchased at www.k-rockcentre.com or at the K-Rock Centre box office.

Candidates seeking the District 1 seat on the Gadsden County Commission recognize a need for improvement in county government. Although each agreed productive change is necessary, they shared differing views about how to achieve it.
At a political forum Saturday, voters had a chance to hear candidates talk about their positions on these and other issues.
Gadsden County Commissioners unanimously voted to not pass an amendment that would change 1 acre of land on the Future Land Use Map from Rural Residential to Commercial.
The site, which once contained a country store, was considered neighborhood commercial use. After hearing the opinions of those supporting and opposing the amendment, Gadsden commissioners told Rising Sons wrecking company since their company is considered commercial, and not neighborhood commercial, they have to close their business or relocate.

Powering Global E3'sOnline Application
Recognizing a growing demand for internationally-experienced engineering graduates, a group of leading universities around the world established the Global E3 in 1995. Global E3 allows engineering students at member universities to enjoy a fulfilling study abroad experience.
Through participation in the program, Global E3 graduates gain the necessary foreign language ability, cross-cultural skills, and professional experience to excel in the multinational/multicultural business environment of the 21st century. The importance of this unique program has been recognized by the National Science Foundation, AT&T Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education, all of which provided the start-up funds for the program. The program is sustained with membership fees from participating universities and from corporations.
Students are nominated by their home institution and receive credit at home for academic work completed abroad.
They study overseas in a member institution for one or two semesters, typically in their junior year. Integral to the program is intensive language instruction and the opportunity for students to undertake a practical, paid internship in an industrial setting or laboratory in the host country. The internship component is an especially valuable element in strengthening the international and professional competency of the students, as well as a unique opportunity for host companies to become acquainted with these talented young people at an early stage in their careers.
The program is competitive, selecting only the most promising students with sufficient language ability to successfully complete coursework overseas and engage in a meaningful work experience in industry. In order to expand the opportunities for outstanding students with minimal foreign language ability, some members outside the United States provide instruction in English as well as the home country language.
For further information regarding participation, please contact us or talk to your home campus administrator (typically, the study abroad office).
Universities interested in joining the consortium should contact us.

Skip to comments.Colorado Flash Flooding Prompts Evacuations, Kills 1
Posted on 09/12/2013 3:25:37 AM PDT by ican'tbelieveit
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- Days of heavy rains caused flash flooding in Colorado's Boulder County early Thursday that has closed streets, prompted evacuations, and left one person dead.
(Excerpt) Read more at weather.com ...
CU Boulder, Boulder schools closed, St. Vrain Valley Schools closed.
Yeah, I work right on the St. Vrain, and I didn't think it was that bad yesterday. Walked out of work commenting that I might get a bit wet on walk to car, but it wasn't bad. But, as I got near home, emergency alerts started for flooding in Erie, that 2.5 inches had fallen in a matter of minutes; just south of me. And they were starting to report 6" of rain in the mtns west of us.
Thank you for posting that link. Strangely enough, the tragedy does not have its own Wikipedia page...
Local rainfall at my weather station is showing 0.5 - 1.0 inch per hour with some variations since 2200h last night.
Hope you can see local weather station HERE
I am 2 exits north of 119 and I-25. We have had 2" since midnight. On high land here, but to get anywhere we would have to go through very low spots.
Been listening to that. Left Hand Canyon is a mess. Debris dams keep collapsing and sending walls of water out.
I pray for the people in the area.
More clarity around activity in Left Hand Canyon, firefighter was caught in flood, was able to get out of vehicle and climb tree before vehicle was swept away. Saw a 15' wall of water, but narrow area of canyon, they think the wall widened and is not as deep as it exits canyon. saw another wall of water. And has now reported the tree he is in may be falling.
LIVE TV News in Boulder http://www.9news.com/
Wow. Prayers up for everybody there.
Nothing like getting a quarter of our annual rain in 3 days.
Longmont flooding along the St. Vrain.
It is amazing to live here. But, we have had quite a bit of moisture this summer; the ground isn't that dry, so that is probably making this a bit worse.
The Rockies, which are naturally rather dry, have been getting very wet the last couple of weeks. The terrain makes this volume of water a real risk.
Plus, people have been building fancy homes in those pretty places next to 'dry' river beds. Ooops.
I am amazed at some of the places people put houses. Between flooding and forest fire these places are destined for disaster.
Daybreak. Video is breathtaking.
Any update on him?
I live downtown, 6.6" last night and it just started again. The grounds been saturated since yesterday.
I've had standing water in my yard since noon yesterday, sump pumps running full time, pumping it out so it can flow back in. Got a bucket on the kitchen floor, not sure where the leak is.
Cat's been on the front porch, and the dog isn't happy about his 'drop zone' being flooded.
We'll see if I can make it up the Diag to Longmont for work.
I have a covered walkway out the front; taking dogs that way periodically. Front and back lawns under inches of water. And for the chihuahuas I have my stash of pee pads.
Have not heard an update. Am hearing more water coming down St. Vrain.
More rain coming from the South-SouthEast...
Have decided that risking crossing the St. Vrain to get to work is not an acceptable risk today.
This would be a blast if it were a snow storm, feet and feet of snow.
Have leftists tried to blame this on the recall yet?
Back in the 90's I lived on the St. Vrain about 5 miles out of Lyons going toward Estes Park. I was about 40' above the water line but distinctly remember Memorial Day of '95 when the houses across the river from me started loading in their cars just as the water peaked.
Probably never a good idea to build on the flood plain of a narrow canyon.
Today I'm at 9494' feet in the Southern Rockies and no so concerned about flooding.
Get some CU Boulder students up there to put their fingers in any holes that open up
No, but liberal Boulder County Sheriff doing a press conference, he is in complete shock. Every drainage area in the county is flooding. They can't find ways around to get to those in danger. Lyons has lost water and sewer, people are up the mountains, but no way to get rescue into them. US 36 has washed out in the canyon above Lyons, that is still heading into Longmont.
According to my weather station, we have received 5 inches of rain since midnight...if it were cold enough we'd have 3-4 feet of snow...depending on how cold it was...DREAMING of SNOW!!
Oh, also described the debris dams that are holding back water walls of water 6-8' deep.
My parents were living in Loveland in the mid 70s when the Big Thompson flood killed 144 people.
I had a buddy who almost died in that flood. He was coming down for our wedding rehearsal and dinner.
Governor making a disaster declaration. work started sending home non-essential staff.
Surge of water coming down Fourmile Creek in Boulder, alert in Longmont, if you are along the Left Hand Creek, move to higher ground now.
I've got 3" of water in my cellar, only thing down there is my water heater and furnace. They're both flooded.
The one pump wasn't keeping up, I waded through till I found the spare pump and got it going. There's no place too pump it, not enough hose to get it out to the street, so I'm pumping into the yard so it can flow back in.
There's not a pump for sale anywhere in Boulder County.
The flood sirens have been on for a couple of hours, they say the creek has peaked. I'm in the Goose Creek FP, it's working .
My house was built in 1924, first floor is 3" above grade, doesn't help the root cellar.
#boulderflood on twitter
Scanner chatter that rescuers have made contact with 5 survivors along Longmont Dam Road.
Twitter post: Firefighter rescued.
Twitter post of a landslide in Boulder Canyon.
Scanner: Meadow Dam is breaking, expect a lot of water (this will be the St. Vrain).
Good news & bad. Thank you. I've been through there twice. I remember seeing a documentary of the flooding catastrophes that have, and still could, happen there. Prayers for all.
Some great pictures and the latest updates...at that link.
Gosh, thanks GRRRRR!
My brother and I drove around this morning.
Lots of ponding on roads and fields with minor flooding on the outlying roads.
The closer to Longmont it gets worse. I-25 and 119 at exit 240 has flooding westbound 119. Local access roads in low areas have some standing water but one lane open.
Not raining now, might have some light drizzle later in PM.
Many areas in S. Longmont are totally flooded out. We drove down to Erie and back and saw lots of fast waters.
I think all of this watershed eventually goes into the South Platte, then joins up with the Missouri and into the Mississippippi. Maybe, I guess.
Amazing low clouds are still hiding Long's Peak and on west bound Cty 3 the vista of Boulder was right in front of us.
Thanks for the info, GRRRRR. I'm sure you know where to drive, and where not to, in those dangerous areas. I think I would be anxious driving around through those areas, but all I know of nature's ravages are hurricanes. If you are correct, and I believe you are, the waters eventually come right on down our way through the Mississippi to the Gulf, and I might splash through water on the shore, which once flowed down the Rocky Mountains. Amazing!
Recently, I read one of the many travel journals of 19th century explorer, Isabella L. Bird, "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains". She was a middle-aged, English spinster who traveled alone by horseback wearing wool culottes under her wrap-around skirt. She was on her way back to England after exploring the Sandwich Islands, when she decided to venture into the Rockies during the fall and early winter of 1873. She climbed Long's Peak, lived in a cabin, fell for a mountain man, and wrote about the real West. I think she was still traveling the world well into her 80's.
She was a good, straightforward writer too. Here are the last lines of her Rocky Mountain adventure... "Mr. Fodder rattled so amusingly as we drove away that I never realized that my Rocky Mountain life was at an end, not even when I saw "Mountain Jim," with his golden hair yellow in the sunshine, slowly leading the beautiful mare over the snowy Plains back to Estes Park, equipped with the saddle on which I had ridden 800 miles!
"A drive of several hours over the Plains brought us to Greeley, and a few hours later, in the far blue distance, the Rocky Mountains, and all that they enclose, went down below the prairie sea."
I wonder what Isabella Bird would think of the drive up to Estes Park today? The beauty of the mountains and the sudden view of Boulder and the Plains are among the most breathtaking landscapes I've ever seen. When my brother, mother and I were heading for home, and I looked back, as Isabella did, at those glorious mountains, I felt like it was the last time I would ever see them. That was in 1999. I hope everyone will be okay.
Stay safe.

I am so excited to have been the one of the photographers for Elisabeth Millay Photography at this beautiful Manhattan wedding, featured today on Style Me Pretty. Check out the rest of the photos here.
For me as a photographer, there is really nothing more fun than a wedding. Happy people and beautiful details combine to make a spectacular day full of moments to be remembered through images. I began photographing weddings four years ago and continue to bring enthusiasm and a fresh perspective every time I shoot. I use my background in photojournalism as a starting place and add in relaxed portraiture and charming detail shots. I am always looking for creative and fun loving couples who share my love of candid moments and natural light.
I have lived in New York City for seven years where I earned a degree in Photography from NYU. When I'm not at a wedding, I'm usually hanging out with my dog Lucy, who, after a happy bride, is my second favorite thing to photograph.
I am a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA)
Pricing & Availability
I live in Manhattan and available for weddings anywhere. Wedding day coverage begins at $2900. Please contact me for packages and availability.
I personally design all of my albums, which are available in a variety of sizes and cover fabrics.

"I had ordered the Satin Pump and received these instead!The one good thing about this error, was I was able to see how they fit and definitely determined that the Metallic's were a tad scratchy - the mettalic material is under the toes as well as all over the shoe! That would bother me if wearing them for several hours, and I had ordered the Satin ones for a wedding.I did return these, but they are a lovely shoe for someone looking to glam up an outfit.A little too much bling for a wedding though.Snug fit, true to size! I'm a size 6."

Skip to comments.Russian PM not joking extraterrestrials live among us according to MIB documentary
Posted on 01/03/2013 6:36:29 PM PST by BenLurkin
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedevs off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled Men in Black that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name. So Medvedev was referring to a Russian documentary film titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhowers alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earths resources in exchange for advanced technology...
(Excerpt) Read more at exopolitics.org ...
am suspecting your heart is beating too loudly.
We always assume it's Dark's that does these things, do we have any proof?
You're on 20 posts as well then?
It loads so much faster like that.
yep, been there since November 28, 2012
No compromise has never posted...
No need to hide.
I'm doing laundry, but I should be doing yard-work.
I don't get it. It's like I lost a whole hour or something.
I don't get it either. I know I lost a whole hour though.
You should get one of them new fangled automatic washing machines. They do the work, while you work in the yard.
No compromise may have been one of those "obliterated" ZOTs that have their (usually very brief) posting history deleted along with their being denied posting privileges.
Must have been a real stinker.
Or he or she is a professional lurker. Who knows?
Hi TOL!
I like to think professional lurker...:)
Lightning is not good for the spirit.
Maybe...they can be lured in here for a chat and a cup of coffee?
Oh, pretty! Looks just like Shadow. She's a little doll.
And No compromise has not been banned. Whoever it is, he or she signed up and never posted or added anything to the about page in well over 14 years since October 12, 1998. Probably won't be responding now.
See? I know that person...
Agree; as well; there is 'no voice'; like Art's voice.
High Toll!
As you probably know, there are FR sleepers out there.
I know of one who signed up daily under a different screen name for the totality of 1998.
He pulls a screen name out of his cache now and then.
Afternoon! 66 and partly cloudy. DP gave Pat, Vlad, and Frank haircuts. Now he has gone to Walmart.
need the stain removal fighter so the stain does not disappear.
I figured that out. We need food - can't have the people eating each other!
Have you seen the new invisible deodorant?
You spray it on and no one knows where the smell is coming from...
that's ducky. To avoid the zombie attack am going after dead after dark deodorant.
Though may want to pick up some dead after morning. I'll fit right in when the zombies come for a meal. They will think it is one of us.
It would be interesting to see who still had all his limbs at the end of the day, in that case.
Hey that reminds me. I'll be hungry before getting back from Wally World. Will have to pick up some southern fried ducking to munch on. Would pick up some Peking duck but they outlawed ducks peeking and lock 'em all up in Jersey.
I have no doubt ... you would win if the family should turn on you.
Very practical! I'll bet it works on pets, too.
In between NASCAR laps, I'm watching Top Gear. Some days, the show is ho-hum, but other days, it has enough laughs to almost make me feel well!
I love it when "they" schedule a race between one of "them" and The Stig. The last one was an RC car controlled by Richard Hammond and a pseudo-car driven by The Stig. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard!
I needed that!
I'm happy that you are laughing! Anoreth likes Top Gear, too.
I'm eating pretzels and FReeping. I bought a couple of size 4 dresses yesterday, and they're too big, so I either need alterations or more food.
Update: Busdaddy is responding well to the meds he was given at QuikCare. A quirk in his payroll deductions provided him enough money for his QC visit and some meds to ease the symptoms.
*big sigh*
I am so relieved.
That's good news! I hope he's able to get back to work soon, so he doesn't get too cranky sitting around recovering!
The smallest size I ever got into as an adult was a size 7, but at that point, I was anorexic, which was not even a popular condition. (Not by choice: I preferred to feed my son...) It was LONG before "Twiggy" hit the scene, but it sure didn't last long. I was much happier in a 12. Mostly because of my height and my "lungs."
However, if you can get into the smallest size for your frame, then I think you should go for it!
I have no clue what I will be into by this time next month, but I'm hoping it's a size smaller than what I am. I figure if I put it on slowly, I need to take it off slowly. I think the latter is much slower than the former...
He is now on a four-day work week, due to the Bid Change effective March 3. His day is longer, but his week is shorter, and odd as it seems, he gets a few hours overtime.
He is crankier when he is sick than when he is recovering. Because of the accident he had last month, he is still trying to play "catch-up" with his paychecks. That hit him hard, and his rent took most of his last paycheck.
He is happy now, but I suggested the next time he see the doctor, he get a shot for pneumonia, since he is susciptible to it with an artificial valve in his heart.
He had no idea there was such a thing...
The smallest size I can reach is pretty darn skeletal, once I train myself to reward myself with lower numbers on the scale. A size 4 is small enough - I'll probably look younger if I put on 6 or 8 lbs.
68 here now. The byos are all out Scootering. Tom has been in bed since 8:00 a.m., after two nights out. It will probably take him all week to sort out his sleep schedule again.
Right, the pneumococcus shot. James got that when he was getting ear infections as an infant. None of the others has, since we discovered that tea-tree oil prevents ear infections, but it certainly won't hurt James being vaccinated for pneumonia.
I started coloring the picture of the girl in the feathered hat last night. I got the hair done (shades of brown), some of the jacket (dark blue), and the plain parts of the hat (black). Now I need to find a deep green pencil for the accents on the jacket, and decide what shades to use on all the feathers. Pinks and oranges, or would that be too loud?
64 and sunny here...
Green things are popping out on the trees and bushes, and it won't be long before the Valley looks dark green instead of bright yellow-green. (Sounds like good colors for Steampunk!)
I am so glad to see the green...
NASCAR is having a good day here, as they usually do. Busdaddy said the cars were all at the Walmart parking lot yesterday, when he went to get his prescriptions filled.
They usually have a parade of the Haulers up Las Vegas Blvd, the night before any big race. Having the cars at the Walmart closest to the Speedway is a new thing, and I'm glad to see it. We LIKE tourists!!!
I passed the Charlotte Motor Speedway last month when taking Elen to Concord for meteorology study. I hadn't realized how BIG it is! Anoreth went to the drag races there once, with her auto-shop class from Central Piedmont.
Perhaps pastel pinks and oranges. I need to color those pages this week, since it may be my escape from reality. The PDA thing is draining me.

Design for a Living World
The Design for a Living World Exhibition
Following successful runs in New York, Chicago, Phoenix and Miami, the exhibition is no longer traveling.
Explore the Interactive site
Explore this multimedia feature and learn more about the locations, the designers and their projects.
Design for a Living World asks us to think about the products we use — where they come from, how they are made and the impacts they have on our planet. The Nature Conservancy invited ten designers to create new objects from sustainable materials sourced from around the world. Wood, plants, wool and other organic materials were transformed into intriguing objects, revealing extraordinary stories about regeneration and the human connection to the Earth's lands and waters.

The featured designers are Yves Behar, Stephen Burks, Hella Jongerius, Maya Lin, Christien Meindersma, Isaac Mizrahi, Abbott Miller, Ted Muehling, Paulina Reyes and Ezri Tarazi.
The Commissions
- Yves Béhar worked with a women's chocolate cooperative in Costa Rica to develop packaging for the raw cocoa they use to make a traditional hot drink and a grating tool that evokes the sensual nature of chocolate, delivering an intense experience through taste, form and narrative.
- Stephen Burks traveled to Australia's Gondwana Link to design the "Totem" — a tool made from reclaimed native jamwood that the local Noongar people can use to make and package a line of organic herb and sandalwood-based cosmetics that they are developing for export.
- Dutch designer Hella Jongerius traveled to the Yucatan Peninsula to observe traditional chicle latex harvesting and explore the possibilities of chicle beyond its use in chewing gum production, resulting in more than 20 embellished vessels and plates.
- Using wood harvested from a Forest Stewardship Council-certified Nature Conservancy property in Maine, Maya Lin crafted a striking piece of furniture that highlights the beauty of an individual tree.
- Christien Meindertsma used wool sourced from a sustainable sheep ranch in Idaho to create a large-scale knit rug — a "flock" of smaller components, each one made from 3.5 pounds of wool, the yield of a single sheep.
- Famed fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi turned Alaskan salmon skin—typically a waste product of the salmon industry — into a dress that references the scales of the fish from which it was made.
- Using FSC-certified plywood from Bolivia, Abbott Miller designed a chair whose components can be shipped flat and dry-assembled with a rubber mallet. The chair design highlights the beauty of Bolivian wood, while also yielding three chairs per sheet of plywood, with a minimal amount of waste.
- Acclaimed jewelry designer Ted Muehling transformed Micronesian vegetable ivory and ocean-harvested black and keishi pearls into a series of bracelets, necklaces and other items, spotlighting the beauty of these natural materials.
- Paulina Reyes, for kate spade new york, traveled to Bolivia's forests to work with local craftspeople to design a series of handbags made of sustainable wood, cotton and jipijapa, a fiber made of palm leaves.
- Industrial designer Ezri Tarazi designed a series of adjustable components that connect to mature bamboo stalks from China's Yunnan Province, creating a domestic forest that supports a range of living arrangements.
