Posted on 05/16/2013 8:17:39 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
The Pentagon for the first time has officially recognized transgender service members in a significant step being hailed by the LGBT community.
The acknowledgement came in the form of a letter to veteran and transgender activist Autumn Sandeen confirming that the Navy had updated its records to show she is a woman.
While still a long way from open transgender service in the military, OutServe-SLDN, an organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender service members and their families labeled the move 'symbolic.'
The letter from the Navy official, dated May 2, read: 'Per your request the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) has been updated to show your gender as female effective April 12, 2013.'
Sandeen's military identification card now reflects the change.
'The fact that a process exists [to change the gender listed] indicates that there are people in the Department of Defense who are aware of the needs of transgender retirees and who are working to see those needs met,' OutServe-SLDN executive director Allyson Robinson told BuzzFeed.
'And, in that sense, the significance of this symbolic act for our broader work and for our goal of open service becomes I think a little bit more apparent.'
Gay, lesbian and bisexual service members have been able to serve openly in the military since September 2011, however if transgender people try to do the same they continue to be discharged, according to Buzzfeed....

Worse yet, I can't see a future Republican administration daring to reverse this ridiculous decision.
Perhaps if I was in the military, then decided I was a dog, they would change the official record to show that indeed, Fido was manning surface to air missiles.
How long until dog trainers start marrying their dogs?
I'm sick to my stomach too, vet.
I never served in the military, sadly I am just not cut out for it. However, I have the utmost respect and love for the men and women who do and have done so.
I know that these are better people than me, and if not for their efforts and sacrifices, I could not live the life that I have lived and enjoyed.
To see this government of ours, which I have no respect for whatsoever, staining our armed forces with their social experiment crapola makes me want to cry.
God bless the United States armed forces.
They never reverse anything: The Federal Reserve, Social Security, minimum wage, Medicare, welfare, food stamps, EPA, OSHA, and the list goes on and on.
The military isn't for everybody. I was an intelligence analyst, not a Green Beret, SEAL or infantryman. I don't know if I'd been able to do those things.
Just as soon as they approve spousal benefits for K9's.........about a month.
Hate to say it, but this country is done. What kind of military is this?
yup- recognize htem right on the heels of the latest scandal showing how homoseuxauls raping non homosexuals has risen i nthe military to near epidemic proportions- Well doen pentagon-
Utterly nuts.
You can't change your sex.
It's a mental disorder and needs to be treated as such, not coddled. Can we make it another three years with this guy?
Think of the pardons he'll make in his last week in office.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
My dad being in WWII and losing his brother in it was upset that Carter pardoned those who avoided the draft in Vietnam (which was very popular at the time) , he (Dad) is lucky to not have lived to see this day.
Our military is dying the death of a thousand cuts.
All according to plan...
Hey, look at the bright side.
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase
"Good night, Chesty Puller, wherever you are!"
ain't thith THPETHIAL???
Sick,, there is an actual listed mental illness where people want to aputate body parts unnecessarily. If a homo or lesbian worked where i did, i could work with them as a coworker, even if i wanted nothing to do with them socially.
A transexual is a whole other thing. They are crossing the line into utterly insane.
Gaaah! Not in my Grandfather's Navy!
I had an uncle who served in Viet Nam. He was a First Sgt. in the Army.
I cannot imagine this crap going on in his day.
That's the same person?!?!?
So.....feminine and...dainty.
Think about it folks.
Is the army Obama plans to use against us going to be filled with homosexuals?
The men won't be a problem, but we may have a bit of difficulty with the bull-dykes.....
axiom of life. Beware of symbolism over substance. IMHO.
Yes it is.
I think it's time we face reality.
This change doesn't really matter.
Combat capability doesn't really matter.
Readiness doesn't really matter.
We haven't fought a war to actually win it since Korea. We're more than half a century into the habit of not finishing, and that means losing, wars.
As a nation, I doubt we even have it in us, any more, to win a war.
Male rape survivors tackle military culture
Amid the discussion sparked by the military's sexual abuse crisis, male rape survivors are reminding officials that men are targeted more often than women.
IOW this guy is claiming theres more homosexual rape than there is man against woman rape...
This guy was the star of the 1st summit on military rape last year...
Heres the article By Bill Briggs, NBC News contributor
Amid the legislation and indignation sparked by the military's sexual abuse crisis, male rape survivors are stepping forward to remind officials that men are targeted more often than women inside a tough-guy culture that, they say, routinely deems male victims as liars and trouble makers.
The Pentagon estimates that last year 13,900 of the 1.2 million men on active duty endured sexual assault while 12,100 of the 203,000 women in uniform experienced the same crime or 38 men per day versus 33 women per day. Yet the Defense Department also acknowledges male survivors report at much lower rates than female survivors.
As a culture, weve somewhat moved past the idea that a female wanted this trauma to occur, but we havent moved past that for male survivors, said Brian Lewis, a rape survivor who served in the Navy. In a lot of areas of the military, men are still viewed as having wanted it or of being homosexual. Thats not correct at all. Its a crime of power and control.
But also, youre instantly viewed as a liar and a troublemaker (when a man reports a sex crime), and theres the notion that you have abandoned your shipmates, that you took a crap all over your shipmates, that you misconstrued their horseplay, he added.
Lewis, who was raped by a male superior officer aboard a Navy ship in 2000, spoke Thursday at a press conference introducing a bill that seeks to strip serious sex assaults from the militarys chain of command. At that event, he said: Too often male survivors are ignored and marginalized.
The biggest reasons men dont come forward (with sex assault reports) are the fear of retaliation (from fellow troops), the fear of being viewed in a weaker light, and the fact there are very few, if any, services for male survivors, Lewis told NBC News.
Men in the spotlight
All sexual assault response coordinators within the military are instructed to provide gender-responsive, culturally competent and recovery-oriented resources, said Cynthia O. Smith, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
Based on that guidance, each of the services customizes its training and implementation specific to their service, Smith said. DOD offers a 24/7 safe helpline providing anonymous victim support, and its staffers have been trained to assist male victims.
Still, the Defense Department acknowledges it must do more to help male victims.
A focus of our prevention efforts over the next several months is specifically geared towards male survivors and will include (learning) why male survivors report at much lower rates than female survivors, and determining the unique support and assistance male survivors need, Smith said.
The Pentagon has reached out to organizations supporting male survivors for assistance and information to help inform our way ahead, she added.
I applaud that stand on behalf of male survivors, Lewis said. However, I would be interested in hearing what organizations they are partnering with considering there are none especially geared for male survivors of military sexual trauma.
'Critical' part of process
At Protect Our Defenders, a leading advocacy group for male and female service members who've survived sexual assaults, president Nancy Parrish said she would welcome the chance to offer guidance to the Pentagon as it develops better programs to support male sex assault victims.
As of yet, we have not been asked to participate in such an endeavor, Parrish said. For the success of the military efforts to end the ongoing epidemic of male and female military sexual assaults, it is critical that survivors are part of the process."
An annual DOD report on sexual abuse, released May 7, described separate attacks on two male soldiers who were shoved down by fellow troops then sodomized with a plastic bottle or broom handle.
Next month, a documentary called Justice Denied which explores sexual assaults against men in the military premiers at the Albuquerque Film Festival.
Assaults on men have been carefully hidden from the public and covered up, not only by the victims themselves but also by superiors within the chain of command, contends the films producer and co-director Geri Lynn Weinstein-Matthews. Its time for men to have their voices heard. Its time for them to stand up against these vicious attacks and against the deception of some of their commanding officers.
Well at least Klinger was entertaining.
This accommodation make locker inspections more complicated.
Former Navy Petty Officer Third Class Brian Lewis talks about a sexual assault "epidemic" within the U.S. military while speaking on Capitol Hill Thursday. Lewis emphasizes that his chain of command "failed" him during his time in the U.S. Navy.
I thought they would have to wait another decade to open the barn door to trannies.
Oh well. Where do I stick the fork in the U.S. to make sure it's done?
Which is why leftists fight so hard to get all their "entitlements" in law. They know it's easier to get something stuck forever than to reign it back in.
"We had to suffer through "Don't Ask Don't Tell" for over a decade knowing it was just a holding pattern until they allowed gays to openly serve."
Of course there was a President after Clinton who had eight years to get rid of it. But then he would have had to have been a conservative instead of a GOP phony pretending to be one.
SHUT UP! President Bush was a REAL friend of the military.
The thing about me is, vet, I've always had a combative personality that generally distrusts authority.
I suspect that if I had joined the military, eventually I'd be cut loose for not getting along with someone, not obeying properly or just generally being unmanageable.
It saddens me, because I imagine that military instruction would have benefitted me greatly in that regard, and perhaps would have helped me overcome that personality flaw.
The true root of my problem is that my father was not in my life from very early on, and knowing him it is probably for the best that he was not. What I see in the military is real men, and I wish that I could have learned from them, from even one.
I suppose that I am happy that I did have my step father, a coast guard captain of a drug busting boat in Miami. He was a son of a *****, a violent alcoholic who made my life, my brother's and my mother's Hell. But the manly things that I do know, that I was taught as a boy came from him, because despite his anger he cared enough to put them in me.
I think I have viewed the military as the place where true men are made and where they can be found, and it really, really bothers me that it is being changed in the particular way that it is being changed now.
I ramble on though. God bless you and thank you, vet.
Many real men have never worn a uniform. Taking care of your family, working hard, being a decent person, those are important.
I also had to sit through don't ask don't tell also. It was always a running joke.
Most are easy to recognize as their shoes rarely match their purses. They don't accessorize well.
This almost literally makes me feel sick.
Oh? And what exactly did Dubya do to reverse Bill Clinton's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy? Other than nothing?
It figures that "shut up" is the best that you can do- otherwise you would have to try being honest about what Bush didn't do. And while you're so eloquently defending him, remind me what he did to reverse the encroachment of women in the military. What's that you say? "Shut up"? I think you tried that once before.
The problem is that policies like Don't Ask Don't Tell don't remain at the level of a joke. They always end up getting good soldiers cashiered.
Remember Tailhook? Tailhook had been around for decades, but as soon as women began showing up then charges of sexual harassment ended some careers.
There will be similar fallout from granting veto power to the Queer Brigade.
You would think that a head case would be thrown out of the military.
Ah, vet, those wise words do bring a smile :)

An interfaith memorial service was held in honor of those whose lives were lost in the Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster and the rescue attempt on Sept. 9. Hilary Gordon, mayor of Huntington welcomed everyone to the service. She offered a special thanks to those in attendance and the religious leaders who came to participate. "Love unifies all of us," said Gordon.
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. said Utah is a great state and this is sacred land and the junior high is a sacred building as it was the gathering place for the families in the early days of the mine disaster. He described Huntington Canyon as sacred land as well. "There has been pain, discomfort and loss on the part of a lot of good people here. We honor friends and fellow citizens who lost their lives in Crandall Canyon and the subsequent rescue attempt. These were men who loved and were loved by others. Their time was cut short. Our community and our state has been hurting. There is not a single person in this crowd or within reach of a television camera who has not felt anguish and shed a tear over the events at Crandall Canyon. Regardless of religious affiliation or nationality it is time to begin healing. This is a time for healing. This is a time for closure.
"We need to ensure the lives of Kerry Allred, Don Erickson, Luis Hernandez, Manuel Sanchez, Dale Black, Brandon Phillips, Gary Jensen, Carlos Payan and Brandon Kimber live on; our lives by extension are made better.
"Mining and coal are a part of our state and will be for generations to come. Never let it be said that in this time of need we didn't rise to the occasion. We respect our neighbors more. We love a little more and may God bring peace to this community. God bless the state of Utah," said Gov. Huntsman.
Pastor Larry Sweeten from the Liberty Faith Fellowship opened the service with prayer. He said as everyone was praying throughout the disaster they wondered, "Where is our miracle." Pastor Sweeten said maybe the miracle is in what we do from here.
Rep. Jim Matheson said this past week the country took time out to honor the miners. A resolution was passed that honored the miners and those who came to their aid. The community remained steadfast throughout the ordeal. The communities came together and did what they've always done, they held each other close.
Richard Stickler, assistant secretary of labor from MSHA said it is with a heavy heart, they pay tribute to those who died at Crandall Canyon. Many of the MSHA employees come from mining families. "We feel your pain. We lost one of our own. Gary Jensen was a valued member of MSHA. He was all the good that MSHA stands for. He was a devoted member of MSHA and his community. He was an EMT, on the town council a dedicated family man to his wife Lola and four children and three grandchildren. His ideals guided his life and he passed that onto his children. He gave his life to save others. They are true heroes. I pray God will bless and comfort you," said Stickler.
Colin King, family spokesman read tributes about the other eight miners prepared by their families. He said Kerry Allred started life prematurely and spent time in an incubator. He had the nickname of Inky for awhile and later became known as Flash. Kerry would have been 58 years old on Sept. 29. He passed away just six days before his wedding anniversary. He and his wife Bessie have three children, Tifani, Cody and Tylee. Kerry loved the guitar and was a great musician and singer. He included his heart and soul in everything he did. Kerry used his entire body to say hello or goodbye. He enjoyed making people laugh and will continue to have input in their lives. Bessie said Kerry will continue to live on in her heart forever.
Don Erickson was a good father and a good husband. He was a good grandfather and proud of his grandkids. Don had a lot of friends. He enjoyed being in the outdoors and he enjoyed telling stories. Don will be greatly missed and he was loved.
Jose Luis Hernandez was born in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. He and his future wife were neighbors as children and used to fight together. After a certain age the fighting turned to flirting and the two spent time bowling and going to movies. He began coal mining to earn money. He wanted to return to Mexico some day. His wife and daughter were the loves of his life. His wife wishes to express her thanks to all who have helped her during this time. She said the last days have not been easy as their loved ones have returned to God.
Carlos Payan Villa was born in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. He was a dear brother to five siblings. He died as a coal miner. He would send money home to pay for his siblings to go to school and to help his mom and dad pay the bills. He was the life of the party and he loved to drive fast and he loved to exercise. He loved Mexico. The Payan family wishes to send their love to the families of the other miners and express their love and gratitude to the rescuers who gave their lives.
Brandon Phillips was a great son to Jamie and Sheila Phillips of Orangeville. He was a great dad to 5 year old Gage. He spoiled Gage and Gage is a real Daddy's boy. Brandon had a lot of friends and relatives. He loved to go snowboarding even though he got hurt doing it, he would get right back up and try again. Brandon would have been proud of his brothers on the rescue team. He will be missed by all. We love you.
Manny Sanchez was 41 years old. He loved and cared for his family. He paid the ultimate price. He gave his family a beautiful home to live in. Manny was an outdoor guy. He loved hunting and fishing. He liked to go to Green River to the beach. He was very close with his brothers. Manny and Marta were married for 22 years. Manny taught during trials and tribulations to take one day at a time. Manny used to flirt with Martha when she worked in a grocery store. He was strict with his children for the right reasons. It is a shame the grandchildren will never have the chance to meet Manny. Manny was a remarkable, friend, brother and husband and father who was taken too soon. He will stay in our hearts and minds. We will keep moving forward. He will not be left behind.
Dale Black was 48 years old. He had two children Corey and Ashley. His wife is Wendy. Dale had the ability to make friends, no one was a stranger to Dale. He hunted everything you could get a license for. He went to Lake Powell with his son and caught 300 fish. He was a tremendous golfer. It was a buck a hole with Dale. Dale even had enough patience to teach his wife Wendy to golf and he enjoyed taking her. He would drive his ATV 65 mph like a kid. His son-in-law, Brad Pruitt said if everyone in the world were a little more like Dale the world would be a better place. Dale was a hero every day, not just on Aug. 16.
Brandon Kimber was our superman, he was born in Moab and graduated from Grand County High. He was 29 years old. Everyone loved Brandon. He was adventurous. He married Kristen Tiller on Aug. 4, 2001. They had three children, daughter Bryton and twins, Paxton and Payton. Brandon was an attentive father and loved being a daddy. He loved mining and driving the equipment. He would tell of his adventures with Bird, Don, Bodee and Benny. He performed his job well and was proud when he became a boss. His daughter said he was like a superman, 'only he couldn't fly'. Brandon was always willing to do anything for anyone. He was a true angel.
King said they not only honor those who died, but those who suffered serious injuries as well.
Nancy Allred read a poem she had written for the miners and rescuers called Smile for Me.
"It has been a long time since I've seen all your faces, Your heads all bowed down with your prayers and your tears. Dear family and friends you must remain strong, Try not to be mournful, for too awfully long. You think I am gone, but really I'm not, I'll always be with you, in your heart and your thoughts. I am a miner, you know who I am, Your husband, your father, your brother and son. I am your grandpa and cousin, and I am your friend. I know each of you, my family and friends, But I still miss your faces, and must see them again. So, I have a request, and it's easy you'll see, Look up toward Heaven. Please smile for me."
Stephanie Gerrard sang, Never be Forgotten and Kaitlin Reaves sang, Amazing Grace. Allison Wells sang, Yo Se' Que Vive Mi Senor.
Pastor Carl Sitterud said he is proud to be the son of a coal miner and proud to be part of this community. Pastor Carl said life is balanced on a fine thread. In Timothy it states how do you know what will happen tomorrow. Life is like a morning fog. Here and then gone. Our lives can come to a conclusion at any time. There is a time for everything in God. A time to be born a time to die, a time to tear down and a time to heal. Man was meant to be happy. God teaches how to love. We must love vertically first, if we love God first, then we can love horizontally and care for people as God cares for people. Grief has brought this community together. There have been strangers mourning for strangers. Such kindness and generosity. They have shown a deep caring and concern. Our family has felt the love personally when we lost Dale. Life is a mist. Blessed are they who mourn they will be comforted. Live life to the fullest one day at a time. As we look back at the lives of the miners it will bring a greater meaning to our own lives.
Bishop John C. Wester said they had hoped for a happy ending to the story of the miners, but that was not to be. "We cannot remove the sorrow, but our prayers are with you. Your loved ones continue to live in a kingdom where every tear is wiped away.
Strong bonds have been developed in the community. There has been an outpouring of love and concern. Let this be a source of hope for the families as they move through the days ahead. Innumerable benefactors stand with you. It confirms our conviction that hope did not die in the Crandall Canyon mine. Nine brothers have been called home. Your loved ones are forever with God. There is peace in knowing that all things are possible with God."
Elder M. Russell Ballard said Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley sends his love and concern. "These have been difficult days and difficult days are yet to come. We will stand ready to help and support. Elder Ballard said he wished he could ease the long and painful weeks that have been so difficult. There is always pain at the sudden loss of a loved one. Only one who has experienced it can know what you are feeling.
"There is one who knows, who has experienced your pain and carried your pain, grief and sorrows. He reaches out to you. Come unto me and I will give you rest. The Savior said I am the resurrection and the light, he who believes in me shall live. He who believeth in me shall never die. Faith gives us the ability to endure the challenges of life. Faith gives the courage to cope and move on. It sometimes feels like more than we can bear, but with faith we can cope and endure. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
"We must unite in faith, let the love of God heal our broken hearts. May tonight begin the healing process. May we look to the Holy One of Israel. He knows your pain, may he enfold you in the arms of love. Love encompasses all understanding. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you, let not your heart be troubled nor let it be afraid as we extend our love and caring and prayers. Life goes on with love in our hearts," said Elder Ballard.
Gordon Franks, the field representative for the Salvation Army gave the closing prayer. He was onsite at the command post for three weeks preparing meals and offering the services of the Salvation Army to those involved.

|What a hike! Knocked it out in 5 hours car to car. Did it with my bud, John Morehead (his first 14er!) and he even had a pulled hamstring! Got down and out of the storms just in time.

|Driving back from the trailhead proved to be more exciting than the hike. We met a 4-wheel drive caravan coming up the mountain at a place where the "road" was only 1 narrow lane wide. Talk about fun. My wife had to close her eyes while we passed each other!

The HOKA ONE ONE Conquest is a highly cushioned, premium daily trainer designed for a neutral or supinated foot motion.
Take on the miles and dominate your run with the Hoka ONE ONE Conquest. Performance-oriented and built with maximum cushioning for high mileage running, this shoe features an innovative Rmat midsole compound for lightweight protection and a resilient ride. A rockered design rolls your foot forward for an efficient stride, and a no-sew upper holds your foot in lasting comfort.
Model Number:
Weight: 11.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Heights: Heel (34mm), Forefoot (28mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments:Tried the Hoka Conquest because the description said it is a highly cushioned shoe or maximal shoe. Reviewers said it is like walking on clouds. Went on a test road run of more than ten miles. It was hard on my feet. Felt like I had bricks on and like I was landing on bricks too. It also caused pain on the sides of my feet as the shoes are too narrow. Enough room in the toe box. A really slow shoe. I had to put in a lot more effort to go a slow pace. Felt like it slowed me down 30 seconds per mile. Why doesn't Hoka make their shoes zero drop? Can't confirm that these shoes are made for 200 lb men, but this shoe was a DUD! A big NO from me. I'm not going to waste my time trying the Conquest 2. The cushioning is so hard it makes the shoe feel like it is a near minimal shoe. But it weighs twice as much as it should for that cushioning level. It is going in the box and going back! NO! Maybe it got old sitting on the shelf for a year and that is why it was on sale for $70 plus free shipping.
From: Anonymous. July 2nd 2015
Comments: Great shoe and great price; almost $100 off retail. Very cushioned and soft ride. Thee is no sign of wear on the outsole, so no worries on durability. Seems like Nike and other other name brand companies have been taking their running customers for granted for years. New companies like Altra and Hoka are making innovations that should have been done long ago.
From: Ed, Colorado Springs, CO, USA. June 20th 2015
Comments: Way too stiff for me. Run mostly in kinvara and new balance rc1400. Wanted something with a little more longevity, but all I got was weird foot and lower leg pain. This will be the last pair of hokas I will have.
From: Steve, Palm Desert, CA, USA. June 15th 2015
Comments: Very comfortable! I just started to run on a regular basis again it has felt good but these shoes make it feel GREAT!
From: Jeff, Madison, WI, USA. May 28th 2015
Comments: Just went for my first run in these shoes--a four miler. While they will not cure moderate-severe osteoarthritic joints, they reduced the pain to no greater than walking. This alone was an amazing accomplishment. Everything positive I have read about this shoe proved true in my case. No problem with the width for me. A great shoe. Considering the purchase of a backup pair already.
From: Anonymous. May 25th 2015
Comments: Bought these on a rec from a friend. Pulled them out of the box, tried them on, ditched the speed laces (as many on here have noted, they don't secure the shoe well), tied them up with the regular laces provided, went fora 16 mile run. Woke up without my usual back stiffness. These are great. No comment on durability. Ordering a backup pair forthwith.
From: Mick, CA, USA. April 12th 2015
Comments: A friend recommended these, saying it felt like walking on a cloud. I was skeptical, but after one use, I'm a believer! Great shoes for those with knee, ankle, or lower back issues.
From: Jason, Bremerton, WA, USA. April 10th 2015
Comments: I have been wearing these shoes almost two months now and I love them. Extremely comfortable!! I wear these 3 - 5 times a week working twelve hour shifts in a hospital up and down the long units continuously. I love these shoes. I have no problem when the material wearing on any place of the shoes. I am s female wearing men shoes due to my foot size. Mine still look brand new even after wiping them down with harsh chemicals used in hospital to kill germs.
From: Anonymous. April 6th 2015
Comments: Bought Conquest and I am hooked. Returned the NB Fresh Foam and Asics Nimbus I had ordered in favor of another pair. I am a believer. I run high mileage 60-70 weekly for years. Run Half's, Full's, and Ironman's. Compare running in Hoka's on the road to running in a standard shoe on a tread mill. Less fatigue and wear and tear on your joints. Downside is they are UGLY!!! My 10 y/o calls them my "special needs" shoes. Also they tend to run narrow and the tounge is ridiculous. Will cut you on a long run if your not wearing thick-tall socks. Still I will make necessary adjustments to run in these every run. Just won't wear them in public when not running. Come on Hoka, make em attractive!
From: Rob, San Antonio, TX, USA. March 21st 2015
Comments: I bought these shoes on Tuesday and they showed up on Wednesday. I wore them for a 7mile run and so far the toes have worn down dramatically. I'm going to give them a couple week trial, but it is not looking good for Hoka.
From: Anonymous. Huntington Beach, CA, USA. January 15th 2015
Comments: These are without a doubt the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. My only complaint is the outer mesh material started to tear in the same spot on both shoes after only a month of wear. After paying 160.00 it was a little disappointing. The shoes are so comfy though that I just ordered my second pair.
From: Bruce, Hayden, ID, USA. December 11th 2014
Comments: This is an exceptional running shoe. Over time I've purchased most Hoka models offered. While these aren't the most cushy they offer they have the right blend of weight, support, and, cushion and are superior to all the others put together. The tread are SO durable they just don't seem to wear out....unlike Bondi and others. Here are some areas that can use improvement; The pull laces cut into the top of your instep (replace), the width needs to be slightly wider as they run "narrow' and you might need to upsize. If your running in a half marathon, marathon, or, longer your feet will swell as the miles grow thus by making the shoes slightly wider it would compensate for this. When you upsize all shoes can become 'sloppy' or loose in the heel. The shoe tongue is EXCELLENT and not like the Hoka Bondi. The Conquest tongue is fixed so it won't slide down over your instep. It's to bad Hoka doesn't use this tread on some other models (road type) as they are just great . Last suggestion is to remove the adjustable shoe ties and use regular quality laces so they won't continually slip during a LONG run. Love you products so keep improving them Hoka!
From: Zipper, Orange Park, FL, USA. November 19th 2014
Comments: Was looking for a suitable replacement for my beloved Bondi 2 as the Bondi 3 was dreadful. These weren't as soft but also not quite as clunky. In the end they're an adequate replacement. I like them but don't love them. Still, they're a good choice for long road runs. They run very narrow so sizing up may be necessary.
From: Anonymous, CA, USA. August 24th 2014
Comments: As a runner with achy knees after many years of running, I look for maximum cushioning. I've been running in the Asics Nimbus for a few years and am generally happy with them. But after watching and reading about Hokas for a while now, I finally had to try the Conquest. I really like them so far - very cushy without being spongy. You definitely will feel the protection of more padding underneath your feet. But after 4 miles or so, even thought the shoe is very light, it starts feeling like a lot of shoe. Still, I am happy with them and will use them for my shorter runs to give my knees a break.

Cutie Bootie
"This bootie is super cute. A little on the stiff side (as I'm experiencing on my first day of wear) but a definite staple as we transition into fall fashion. Order your true size; I am typically a 7-7.5 in most shoes (think anything SM for reference), so went with the 7.5 and glad I did because a 7 would have been too tight. They run a little narrow for my fellow wide footed folks, but after a full day of wear at work where I stand/walk/run far more than I sit, I am still standing and with a smile. Happy shopping!"

Material Cracked Within Hours.
"I was so excited for these shoes because they were so cute, versatile, and on sale! Unfortunately, I've only been wearing them, at my desk for a few hours, and the faux leather is already cracked where my foot bends near the ball of my foot. I am very sad, I don't want to return them because I like them so much, but I think I am going to have to go get my money back."

Really nice
"I bought these in black and wore them out for a day in the city. They are pretty comfortable and really nice. The only thing I noticed is that my pinky toes hurt towards the end of the day. They are just a little narrow at the top, but I didn't find it to be too bad. I like them a lot."

Join us, denim-heads, for a moment of good taste. We know a lot of you are die-hard raw denim subscribers, but it's worth branching out into the realm of bold colors when you want to make a real statement.

As with its full length counterpart, the denim short is a style essential because it can broadcast a classic, preppy look just as effectively as it can compliment an outfit that's fierce and punk-rock inspired. Arriving in must-have renditions like floral, neon, and tie-dye, you can delve into trend-chasing with the knowledge that they won't go out of style anytime soon. Even novelty denim has more longevity than other fabrics, so with that in mind, here are 12 selects from our personal wishlist.
1. Christopher Kane Neon stretch-denim cut-off shorts ($290) – buy it at Net-A-Porter.
2. Topshop MOTO coral dip-dyed hotpants ($68) – buy it at Topshop.
3. Madewell indigo ink sweatshorts ($38) – buy it at Madewell.
4. Mih Jeans London Boy low-rise denim shorts ($175) – buy it at Net-A-Porter.
5. Mother Denim white cuffed short ($160) – buy it at Far Fetch.
6. Blank Denim Semi Fit Shorts with Raw Hem ($68) – buy it at Shopbop.
7. CURRENT/ELLIOTT The Boyfriend printed low-rise denim shorts ($170) – buy it at Net-A-Porter.
8. Delia's Taylor 2 1/2″ Color Denim Short in neon yellow ($34) – buy it at Delia's.

|In response to Re: Drain/vent layout
: I believe I can fit a 3x2 san tee before I the 3" wyes for the other drains. I can use the 2" takeoff from the tee for the vent of the toilet. The only problem I see is that once I get a few inches high of the tee I will have to go about 12" horizontally before I can get to the wall wher the vent will run up to the attic and tie into the 2" vent from the shower and washing machine. Is it OK to have that vent on the toilet go horizontal for that short distance?
: : If you connect it there, then you are negating the toilet's vent and could create problems. Nothing can connect between a toilet and its vent, (or any other fixture and its vent either, in most cases).
: : : I am remodeling a bathroom in a small summer home that has a 3� main stack that is copper and it transitions to CI before going underground. The existing connections to the stack are in the crawl space except for the kitchen sink that ties in above the floor level and it also has its own vent. The 1-1/2� bath sink drain ties into the 2� shower drain that tees into the stack below the floor, both of these drains also have vents that tie back into the stack higher up. Below that connection on the stack is a 3� tee for the toilet drain which is no more than 24� from the stack and it does not have a separate vent. I am moving the shower and adding a washer/dryer and would like to know if the following is OK. I have no room below the toilet tee to added another tee before it connects to the CI long turn wye. I would like to add a 3� 45 wye on the horizontal part of the drain between the toilet flange and stack and then tie the 2� shower drain and 2� washing machine to that point with another wye connected to the first wye.. The shower and washer will share a separate vent that goes through the roof. Is this ok of the toilet still uses the main stack as its vent. The two additional drains will tie into the toilet drain less than 12� from the stack. Thanks in advance for your help.
I would replace all of the copper drain and vent piping. Fumes eat out the vent and top of the drain pipes. I run into this about every three years where there has been no leakage but odors for the last 5 to 10 years. LonnythePlumber

2. Prepare a bowl with water for moistening the edges of the egg roll wrappers. Lay the wrapper flat. Dab the center with a drop of good quality deli mustard and moisten the edges with water, using a wet paintbrush or your fingertip.
3. Place a small mound (about a teaspoon) of the duck filling in the center of the wrapper. Make a purse by gathering the dough around the filling and pinching together the wrapper where the dough encloses the filling.
4. Pour the canola or peanut oil into a wok or deep pot. The oil should be deep enough to cover the dumplings. Preheat the oil to 375?F. Fry the dumplings for 2–3 minutes and then drain on paper towels.
5. Serve the remaining sauce alongside the dumplings.

As the summer winds down it's time to get the kids ready to go back to school. To ensure that your children have a safe and healthy school year, start by following these simple guidelines.
Sports physical
If your child will be participating in sports, check to see if your school requires permission form signed by your doctor. Your pediatrician may be the best choice to perform this sports physical, because she/he is familiar with your child's medical history.
Most physicals include basic medical information about your child's height, weight, blood pressure, heart and overall health. Your physician will also check to see if your child is up to date with his or her vaccinations.
Different school systems have different immunization requirements. Many school systems will not allow a child to enroll unless his or her immunizations are up to date. Now is the time to check with your school about those requirements, while there is still time to make an appointment with your family physician for any immunizations they are lacking.
Eye exam
This is the perfect time to focus on your child's eyes, and schedule an eye exam for them. A child's eyesight can change quickly. It is estimated that 5-10 percent of preschool kids and 25 percent of school-age kids have some sort of problem with their vision. This can lead to poor performance, lower grades, and frustration in the classroom. The American Optometric Association suggests that you get your child's first eye at six month's of age, followed by another one at age three years. Always get an eye exam before your child enters kindergarten or first grade, and then every two years after that.
Childhood obesity is on the rise. To ensure your child gets a healthy lunch, you might consider packing a healthy lunch from home, filled with healthy foods your child is sure to eat. This will help keep the pounds off, and give them more energy so they can focus during the school day. If your child eats at school, check out the lunch menu together and help them make smart choices. If your child has a special medical condition, or is taking medication, be sure to communicate this information to the school.
Early to bed
You can make the transition to an earlier wake-up time much easier if you will start putting your child to bed 10-15 minutes earlier each night starting with the week before school starts.
Be cautious with your child's back pack. Did you know that a backpack that is too heavy or improperly fit can cause shoulder, neck, and back pain? A backpack should never weigh more than 20 percent of a child's weight. That means if your child weighs 75 pounds, the backpack should not weigh more than 15 pounds. It should have adjustable padded shoulder straps. Make sure the size of the backpack fits your child's size. A backpack is not something a child should "grow into."
School bus safety
Last but not least, make sure you go over traffic safety rules with your child. Educate them on the importance of obeying traffic laws and to use caution especially when they are in parking lots or crossing the road. School buses are the safest way to get to school. That's right! They are nearly eight times safer than passenger vehicles. An average of 7 school-age passengers are killed in school bus crashes each year. Another 19 are killed getting on and off the bus. Most of the victims fall into the five to seven year old range. They are hit in the danger zone around the bus either by a passing vehicle or by the bus itself. The danger zone is the area ten feet on all sides including front and back of the bus.
Teach your child to get on and off the bus safely by following these important rules:
When boarding the bus, stay away from the danger zone and wait for the driver's signal. Board the bus one at a time.
When getting off the bus, look before stepping off the bus to make sure no vehicles are passing on the shoulder of the road. Move away from the bus.
Before crossing the street, take five giant steps out from the front of the bus, or until the driver's face can be seen. Wait for the driver to signal that it is safe to cross.
Look left-right-left when coming to the edge of the school bus to make sure traffic in stopped. Keep watching traffic while crossing.
As a motorist learn and follow school bus stop laws. Here are just a few rules to keep the children safe and to protect you the motorist from a tragedy.
*Vehicles must stop when the bus displays flashing and warning light and extends the stop signal arm. Vehicles may not pass until the flashing lights and signals are turned off.
*Vehicles traveling the same direction as the bus are always required to stop. In some states, vehicles moving in the opposite direction on a divided roadway are also required to stop. Know what your state laws are.
*Never pass on the right side of the bus where children either get on or off the bus. This is illegal and can have tragic results.
*Violation of these laws can result in a citation and fine. In many places, school bus drivers can report passing vehicles.

Cute But Not Comfortable
"I always buy a 8.5 - size 9 shoe, and a size 9 fits. So if you wobble between two sizes, pick the larger of the two.I was excited to find this shoe since wedge closed toe shoes are hard to find with an ankle strap, but I was disappointed when I tried them on.First of all, the strap itself is very narrow, so that it feels less like it's holding my foot in the shoe and more like it's cutting into my ankle. It's worse when I take a step and it yanks inward.Secondly, the side of the shoe digs right into my ankle bone. Each step in horrible, having the strap cutting into my ankle and the side of the shoe digging into my ankle bone.There will likely be no luck breaking them in since they are MAN MADE MATERIAL, not suede as stated in the shoe description.The shoe does not hurt the balls of my feet, and the slope of the shoe isn't severe. Those are the only two positives.Also note that the toe of the shoes has a slight sheen to it, making it look as though the shoe has been buffed from being worn too much.Very disappointed in this shoe."

Skip to comments.Gay marriage protesters take to the streets in Paris
Posted on 03/24/2013 2:13:35 PM PDT by white trash redneck
Tens of thousands opposed to French legislation allowing gay marriage protested Sunday on a route leading to the Champs Elysees after police banned them marching on the famed Paris avenue.
The hugely controversial bill to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption has been comfortably adopted by the lower chamber of parliament and will go to the Senate for examination and approval in April.
The upper house is unlikely to prevent the groundbreaking reform from becoming law by the summer. The protestors want the government to withdraw the project and put it to a referendum.
The demonstrators highlighted France's flagging economy, beset by mass layoffs and spiralling unemployment, attacking Socialist President Francois Hollande's government of ignoring pressing issues while pushing ahead with his election pledge of "Marriage for All."
Banners held up from balconies read: "We want work not gay marriage," and "No to gayxtremism."
The Paris police had turned down a request from the protest organisers to march on the Champs Elysees on the ground it would be a threat to public order, partly because it borders the French presidential palace.
The demonstrators lined a five-kilometre (three-mile) route from the Paris business district of La Defence to the roundabout where the Arc de Triomphe is located.
Police sprayed teargas to keep up to 200 protestors from trying to march on the Champs Elysees, AFP photographers said.
Organisers claimed that at least 1.4 million had taken part but police put the number at around 300,000.
As the demonstrators gathered under chilly, grey skies, an organiser exhorted them on a megaphone to periodically lift their arms and legs to keep warm.
"We understand your frustration but please remain in the same place," he said.
The movement against gay marriage has given France a new celebrity in the form of its public face, Virginie Tellenne, a Parisian socialite who goes by the name of Frigide Barjot.
Her assumed name -- a play on the name of French film star Brigitte Bardot, a sex symbol in the 1960s -- translates as Frigid Loony.
"We want the president to deal with the economy and leave the family alone," Tellenne said Sunday.
Somewhere between 340,000 and 800,000 demonstrators had flooded into the capital for an anti-gay marriage march in January.
A campaign orchestrated by the Catholic Church and belatedly backed by the mainstream centre-right opposition has steadily gathered momentum.
But Hollande's support for the legislation has not wavered and his partner, Valerie Trierweiler, has revealed that the president will be attending the marriages of gay friends once the legislation is on the statute books.
Gay men and women can already adopt as individuals in France if approved by social services.
A separate law on providing medically assisted conception to gay couples, already extended to heterosexual couples unable to conceive, will be debated later in the year.

I'd go with the higher numbers. A previous protest drew a gigantic crowd, more than a couple hundred thousand IIRC. It's incredibly horrible how governments are influenced by a teeny percentage of mentally ill sex perverts. It's almost as though they want to destablize society for their own aims...
Anyone wanting on/off either ping list, FREEPMAIL me.
I'm very surprised. Who knew that the French people would be this openly conservative? I would guess that the numbers might be substantially higher than 300,000.
Just looking at the pictures online, there's plenty of young people there too. The media and governments may have the megaphone but the West may yet have a pulse in these people who are otherwise live quietly.

Vive La France!
Vive la France!
I am so glad that you noticed that.
Too often do I see Americans disparaging the French especially when it comes to giving in to islam.
Americans had better notice that the French don't have a muslim president and don't have muzzies in high national security positions.
Since 9/11, however, the French have been faced with an increasingly assertive and belligerent Muslim minority, which, by virtue of immigration from former French North African colonies, is far larger than what we have to deal with in the US.
It looks like the French may be putting their foot down on a number of issues the progressives hold dear. Good on them.
Quite frankly, the massive anti-gay marriage protests in France have given me a 10X more favorable view of the French people than when they elected Nicholas "I despise Netanyahu" Sarkozy and we were supposed to be elated and forgive their treason because he likes to vacation in the USA.
Driving through Dijon en route to the burial place of Bernadette Soubirous one Tuesday morning, one of our traveling companions, looking out the window at the rolling green hills and the vinyards, said, "God really blessed France".
Then we stopped for lunch at a restaurant and ate outside under blooming fruit trees and ate burgers and fries. Not like the Burger King her husband was craving, but like from one of the happy herefords in the back 40.
I know some Frenchies realize it. I've met them.
It was Charolais Cattle. AND there was Burgundy wine.
""A campaign orchestrated by the Catholic Church and belatedly backed by the mainstream centre-right opposition has steadily gathered momentum."
And this is why the left hates the CC.
There. Fixed it! :-)
I am in touch with a young man in Switzerland. The conservative movement in Europe is really fired up over IMMIGRATION. Generacion Identitaire. They go after and collaborate on other social issues as well. They are helping me pound back the Federation Republican Womens poll on giving amnesty to Dreamers & work program.They have satellite groups in all the major Euro cities. They do very Theatrical protests with colored smoke and flaming sticks through the streets. Visiting cultural icons to reiterate their connection to national identity and culture. Killer photos on their facebook pages.Feeding their hungry countrymen in the street to point out the fact that "strangers" are better cared for than their own.
"....because he likes to vacation in the USA."
It's always so much more convenient to go on a vacation when the taxpayer foots your bill.
I tell the kow-towing spanish speaking wannabes around here that the French, Germans and Italians in Europe do not put up with it. They do not do a press one for what ever other language of our invaders puleazze over there
They do NOT all speak english, even and especially if they know it. They want their cultural heritage and they are a holes about it. Good for them. We are McD eating surrender monkeys for putting up with it.
Not I.
Looks like we have fellow brother and sister FReepers over the pond there in France. They fight leftists like we do it seems.
But don't forget, American conservatives were also supposed to love Sarko because he has a "beautiful (liberal) wife" and children.
I was being sort of sarcastic...
It's horrible watching demons in human form destroy human civilization. Really, it's nothing less than that.
Pshaw! Dream on.
We have not fought leftists in this manner at all
I'm with you. However, it is written...
Well the French are famous for their heterosexuality.
This was mostly YOUNG people? Wow.
This has little to do with being conservative but more to do with resisting a return to the uncivilized way of the ancient world when sodomites did as they pleased.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
After the Emery Spartans had defeated the Juan Diego Soaring Eagles in Draper several weeks ago, the Eagles were knocked from the number one ranking in both Salt Lake newspapers and the Eagles were eagerly awaiting the return engagement to return the favor with a home loss for Emery. The trash talk in the newspaper blogs was actually kind of fun to read if one didn't take it too seriously. Last Friday, the second game took place at Emery High and Juan Diego took advantage of five Emery errors to easily defeat the Spartans. Final score in the game was 10-0.
Head coach Steven Gordon talked about the loss, "With the region championship potentially on the line, I thought our guys would be ready but with all the mistakes we made, we never really were even in the game."
Juan Diego pitched one of their aces in the game and Olsen never let Emery come close to rallying. Emery had only four batters get on base in the game and two of them got picked off base. Gatlan Huntington led off the game with a walk and then singled in the third inning for two of the Emery base runners. Colby Snow doubled in the second inning and Brett Mecham singled in the fifth inning for the extent of the Spartan offense in this game.
Juan Diego opened the game with four runs in the first inning off Spartan starter Gatlan Huntington. Two walks, two doubles and a single caused the damage and Emery never recovered. Juan Diego scored single runs in the second, third and sixth innings and three more runs in the fifth inning. All of those runs were unearned due to the Emery errors.
Emery still maintains a half game lead in the region standings over Juan Diego with the region season winding down because of weathered out games around the state this season. Emery is 5-1 and the Eagles are 4-1. Emery is still trying to make up an earlier snowed out game with Delta that has now been delayed twice. Juan Diego has two games they are trying to reschedule.
Emery defeated North Sanpete last week in Mt. Pleasant 21-7 in their other scheduled region game. After a fairly close three innings of play, Emery sent 17 batters to the plate in the fourth inning, garnered six base hits including a grand slam homerun by Derrick Allred, two walks, six Hawk errors and 12 runs.
Allred led the team with three hits in four at bats, had a triple besides the homerun, scored once and had five RBIs. Snow scored four times, had two hits, one a homer, and three RBIs. Addison Collard scored three times, had two hits including a double and had three RBIs. Tayler Tanner and Nevin Jensen each scored three times in the game and each had two base hits. Jason Giles had three base hits, one a double, and scored three times in the game. Kashe Jewkes scored once and had two base hits while Brett Mecham scored twice and had one base hit.
Besides the big fourth inning, Emery scored one run in the first inning, another run in the second inning, three more runs in the third inning and four more runs in the fifth inning. When Emery went to bat in the top of the fourth inning, North Sanpete led the game 6-5.
Emery picked up 17 base hits in the game while pitcher Brett Mecham allowed just seven base hits. Six of those hits were for extra bases for North Sanpete. Emery committed two errors while the Hawks committed eight errors.
Emery will play Delta this Tuesday in Castle Dale with the Spartans still looking to make up a game with the Rabbits and then will travel to Salem Hills this Friday.
They will play the Rabbits in Delta on May 1.
