Skip to comments.Woes of the foot soldier: Sore feet spur Army to fight for new boots
Posted on 08/26/2013 4:52:04 PM PDT by yoe
An Army survey of sore-footed soldiers has led leaders to take on a new mission: finding the perfect boot that withstands the weather but properly cushions across long treks and rough terrains.
And the Army has put a team of specialists on the job footwear project engineers at the branchs Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center in Massachusetts.
The soldier lives in his boots, said Bob Hall, one of the footwear engineers, in The Boston Globe. If hes having problems with his boots, hes having problems with everything.
Army researchers in Natick are winding down a two-year campaign sparked by a survey that revealed soldiers core complaint, aching feet to develop a boot for Middle East terrain. The military took prototype boot submissions in 2011, and now the fields been narrowed to three potential companies with lengthy backgrounds making footwear for the military: Bates Footwear of Rockford, Mich.; Belleville Boot Co. in Belleville, Ill.; and Danner in Portland, Ore.
We know who makes the best boots out there and we tap into the best technology the industry has, said Sgt. Maj. Emmett Maunakea in The Globe article. Theres so much science that goes into it.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Danners are great, got a pair of Ft.Lewis boots
I've worn for 20 years.
Just bought a pair of Bates RAT boots, pretty
comfortable, although I had to replace the upper
eyelets with hooks, Did the same with the Danners too,
just like them more.
The Rat boots are good but rather soft sided.
The Ft.Lewis have served me well and are excellent
in mountainous terrain, stiffer.
Both have Vibram soles.
Wish we had something like that back in the day of fifty mile forced marches with full field packs and weapons wearing hard leather boondockers.
LL Bean Crestas. I have a pair that has over 2,000 miles on them including at least 5 'marathon' hikes in the mountains (31 to 40 miles/day) and many, many days over 20 miles. Not one blister. Ever. Very comfortable boots for hiking/backpacking (and I have the bad habit of carrying way too heavy a load). They'd probably be an improvement over what is being worn now.
Yep. Kinky Shoes.
I wear out a pair of Vibram soles in a maximum of two years. How many times have you resoled these Danners? Mind you, I'm not doubting that they're good boots, I'm just trying to compare the value to the Wesco's I'm wearing now, as I can rarely resole them more than once. I do firefighting and logging among other things. Heat is hell on boots.
Ok, I admit I take care of them and only wear them
hunting, clean them at the end of the season, sno-seal
them put stretchers in and pack them up til next year.
For work I wear RedWing steel toe shoes and I get about
two years out of a pair, back when I was doing fabrication
and red iron. They are pricier than others but are what
I've found works best, like Carhart or Filson.
Absolutely the most comfortable boots or shoes I have ever owned. The LLB Crestas are pricey, but well worth it. I have them in black and dark brown, and they work well with a business casual look.
- not a paid advertisement
That isn't necessarily a bad thing but training them up to a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan is going to entail a slightly different approach from the one that put farm kids into combat boots in WWII. Or at least a better-planned transition.
Bates and Danner are awfully good and I don't have any data on the other. These days I'm mostly in Browning or Timberland, myself, but I'm carrying a 60-year-old body over terrain a lot less challenging than the Hindu Kush. I get to sit down now and then, mostly now, and there's nobody shooting at me (at least deliberately). A 20-something soldier in prime physical condition carrying a rifle and a 70-lb pack is quite another thing.
But I'll be following this choice carefully, because you never know.
these kids have never known a world without Nikes and Adidas as primary footwear."
The grandson has to wear what he also calls "hard" shoes when they go out to eat, to school on Wednesday with a white dress shirt for chapel and to church on Sundays. You wouldn't believe all the grousing that goes with it.
In the meantime, my son needs to replace his hiking boots so everyone's comments on this post are certainly helpful; they will be my Christmas gift to him.
OK, you get my vote for Gram of the year. :-)
My last pair I found at the outlet store - $50 less & perfect!! I have a wide foot so I figured I wouldn't find what I needed, especially since Crestas are so popular, they'd be snapped right up. Actually, I wanted to try a regular width boot and a 'wide'. Got there, wandered up and down the shoe racks ... everything was mixed together ... shoes, boots, slippers, etc. Saw a pair of brown toes peeping out ... Crestas? Yup ... regulars. Tried them on and it was no dice - too tight with my hiking socks. I'd been up and down at least twice ... took one more look ... was that a pair of brown toes on the very end of the bottom shelf? It WAS ... pulled out another pair of Crestas and did a happy dance to the cash registers (literally - they thought I was nuts!) because it was exactly what I wanted - all leather, my size, in wide and a perfect fit. Sometimes it's just your "lucky" day! :-)
I wonder how the Romans became a world power wearing sandals.
I have been wearing a boot made by Converse for the last 3 years. It is by far the best boot I have ever worn. This boot is cool in the Arizona summer and warm in the winter. It has a composite toe that does not conduct heat and is stronger than conventional steel toes. I've worn boots all my life, from cowboy boots, to the "Black Cadilacs" the Marine Corps issued me for 20 years. 3 years before I retired from the Corps we were issued the new boot. It was a great improvement over the old crap, but nothing will compare to the Converse boot I wear for work now.
Which ones? Are those the Rapid Response Composite Toe model? I'm really interested in this because this is a quiet explosion in both technology and quality after a lot of dry years.
Whoa, those are nice. A little pricey, but nice.
I deployed to Iraq in 07/08, the issued boots were fine for me, although some people had trouble with them. I purchased a pair of Bates and would rotate them with the issued boots. The Bates were very comfortable.
I forgot to mention that Reebok took over the Converse boot line. Just bought a new pair last week and they are just as good as before with a slight improvement. They have jell cups in the heel!! Freekin' awesome for a guy like mee who spends all day on his feet. They are the Rapid Response RB The stock number for them is RB8894. The website lists them for $150.99 but I get them at a discount for being retired military and another discount because I work for a Defense Contractor. They run me $119.00. I will never wear any boot but these again.
In my firefighting days (mid-1970s to mid-1980s), I always wore Danner Smokejumpers. I usually didn't get them resoled, though, because one good season would generally ruin the uppers. Heat is, indeed, hell on boots. It wasn't just the Danners, either; those who wore expensive Whites and the like didn't seem to get any more life out of a pair.
I love those boots. Worth every single penny...
...but there isn't much wear in spike heels.
I think the effort to get a one-type fixes all ills will be the problem. Narrow feet, wide feet, short feet, non-pronating feet all take different boots.
I bought the Zamberlains after trying new boots for a year. I plan to use them I pass away or no longer hike. When we get old we can plan to buy the best and never buy again if we save and wait. I think I got these on sale for about 230 instead of the 280 list. I will only use them for their intended use and use some Red Wings for casual hikes and daily.
With size 12 B ( with a 2 A heel) I have to have the right boot.
Bingo. I'm still looking for that perfect boot but I'm getting very close.
I actually waited about ten years past when my heavy hiking boots were too short for fully padded wool socks. My arches had weakened or collapsed and caused my foot to go from 11 1/2 A to 12 B. I just kept using thinner socks when I needed the ankle support, or used work boots when I needed high tops.
I had a vasque low cut hiker/runner with a good shank so I got by.
I have been waiting to replace my stereo speakers for about 20 years waiting to get what I decide I want. I am hopeful that a Martin-Logan delivery truck will hit my car.
What the Army can now justify:
I hope the Army does a better job with new boots than it did with the last $5 billion camo uniform debacle.
Most of my firefighting is burn piles. In addition to tree tops, I burn about 10-12 cords per year of split oak in piles to make charcoal for incorporation into soil. That gets my boots so hot it sometimes melts the laces (I wear an aluminized nomex suit). Even then, I can usually get two years with one resoling. Lately, I've bought cheapo boots (Dickies) for weeding, mud, and fires and saved the Wescos for logging and high climbing. They have a Cambrel (kevlar) lining to protect from saw cuts, so they aren't terribly comfortable.
I had a pair of Bates with the zipper sides that felt like I'd been wearing them for twenty years from the day I bought them. They were my favorite riding boots. Dumped the bike last March and tore the left one all up. Broke my heart almost as much as damaging my ride.
Because the rest of the world had no shoes.
Look at what the VC did in 'nam wearing only their Ho-Chi-Minh sandals fabricated from discarded tires.
Russell Moccasin Boots. Army boots nearly crippled me during my career. I have wide feet but the Army only had skinny boots. The official remedy was get a size larger. Did not work.
Those are Birkenstocks for the masses.
No comment
A world without Nikes!!!? cries Shirley Ujest.
Wow, that is pricy. Nowadays I have to wear steel-toed boots at work & usually go with Georgia or Iron Age. They last several years, and break-in isn't too bad. I think it was mopping up that really killed the old Danners. Water plus ashes makes a form of lye, and when it's also hot, you just can't put sufficient grease on your boots to keep them from cracking.
In the 10 years or so since I got out, I still wear various boots for everything from summers in Louisiana to winters in western PA. My work and recreation take me from everything to swamps to some pretty rugged hilly trails...and offices.
Hands down, the most comfortable boots I own are the Inov-8 Roclite 400 GTX. They are marketed as the lightest, all leather Gore-Tex boot made, and I tend to believe them:
They are extremely light, weighing very little more than most running shoes. On the down side, some of the weight saving comes from the abandonment of a traditional heel cup, so there's a little less ankle rigidity, so if you've got a real heavy pack, they're probably not the optimum boot. Also, the sole is a very soft, gummy composition that gives exceptionally good traction on smooth, slick rock or concrete, but tends to wear on the faster side.
In more rugged terrain, I also have a pair of Tactical Research Khybers:
They are much lighter than they might appear at first look. They give much better ankle support than the roclites. The sole material is harder and will wear longer than the roclites, but you do sacrifice a bit of flexibility.
Many thanks. You may have just sold me a pair of boots. BTT
Especially nice when I can do both in one post :-)

The Price Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management initially released the Environmental Assessment for the San Rafael Route Designation Plan February 7, 2002. The objective of the San Rafael Route Designation Plan is to establish a vehicle network which would provide recreational and other access to public lands while at the same time protecting sensitive natural and cultural resources. The Plan implements a decision reached by the BLM in 1991 when it completed the San Rafael Resource Management Plan. This land use plan directed BLM to identify and designate specific vehicle routes within "Limited Use Areas" where vehicle use is restricted to designated roads and trails. The plan affects over 1.1 million acres of public lands.
Four alternatives with specific objectives designed to resolve conflicts and concerns with the resources and manageability and analyzed. Alternatives range from designating all 1,074 miles of inventoried routes to designating 580 miles of routes.
BLM has received a request to extend the public comment period beyond the current March 22 date. BLM has reviewed the request and is granting an extension of the public comment period on the San Rafael Route Designation Plan until April 22.
Written comments should be submitted to : BLM, Attn: Route Designation Plan, 125 S. 600 W., Price UT 84501.

Aklavik is located on the Peel Channel on the west side of the Mackenzie Delta, approximately 55 kilometres from Inuvik and 150 kilometres from Ivvavik. Ivvavik is most closely associated with Aklavik, due to the fact that some of the residents have traditionally hunted and trapped in and around the park. With a population of 900 inhabitants, the town has many of the basic services of neighbouring communities, including: health centre, RCMP detachment and two grocery/dry goods stores. For accommodations, there is a lodge open year-round that offers kitchen facilities. There are daily flights to Aklavik from Inuvik. However, if planning to fly to the park, it will still be necessary to charter a plane or helicopter from Inuvik.
Inuvik is located on the Mackenzie River, 200 kilometres east of Ivvavik. The town has a population of 3,450 and is the regional service centre for the Western Arctic. A wide variety of services are available including several grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, a bank and ATM, hospital, and an RCMP detachment.

Oldham can make Everton wait
There's just one FA Cup fifth-round replay on Tuesday night as Premier League Everton take on Oldham.
- Related Content
The League One side are enjoying a decent run in the FA Cup having followed up their victory over Liverpool in round four with a late equaliser to bag a 2-2 draw in the original clash with the Toffees at Boundary Park.
While we expect Everton's class to tell, the two sides' recent formlines mean the Toffees may not have things all their own way.
Everton v Oldham
Everton have generally experienced seasons of two halves in recent years, tending to finish the campaign strongly but leaving their charge too late to claim honours or threaten the top-four places in the Premier League. The concern for the Toffees must be that this season is operating in reverse. Everton have been in and around the Champions League places throughout this campaign but back-to-back defeats - including Saturday's damaging late turnaround at Norwich - have left them with surely too much to do to overhaul two of the London trio immediately above them. The Toffees are now without a win in four games - including the 2-2 draw in the original clash in this FA Cup fifth-round tie - and have won only two of their last eight Premier League engagements. But despite their recent blip Everton have still lost only once at home this season in 14 games and this is an obvious step down in class; they will surely register a victory here and end Oldham's Merseyside-bothering cup fun. Indeed, with the top four looking an increasingly forlorn hope, the FA Cup may well be David Moyes' priority; a win here sets up a home quarter-final against Wigan and the very real prospect of Wembley glory. It's no great stretch to predict an Everton victory here - but nor will it make us wealthy at 1/6. Oldham have won their last three League One games and, with Everton unlikely to be feeling on top of the world after what went down at Carrow Road, it would be no surprise if the visitors were able to stay in this past halfway. Draw/Everton in the HT/FT market is 18/5 at BetVictor and looks the best way to get a home win onside at a worthwhile price.
Verdict: Everton 2 Oldham 0

I got spoiled! xD
Sorry, I always wait for the MS version.
Well they clearly live on to be named Hokage, but does anyone understand the meaning of the title?
At least we now know how and why Izuna gave up his eyes. Madara didn't steal them like Tobi said. He was about to die anyway, so why not give up his eyes? Actually it's the exact same as with Itachi and Sasuke
1) I always wondered how Izuna "died in Battle" after becoming blind. Now we know.
2) I guess Tobirama never completely learned to trust the Uchiha, even though he had to obey Hashirama his elder brother and head of the Senju clan.
3) Did Tobirama just use Hirashin?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Gah... after going slowly and putting a lot of effort into the start of the flashbacks, Kishi then speeds through a lot of the major stuff and rushes the character development. It's a lot like how the start of the Obito flashbacks were so slow, and then suddenly the next 3-4 chapters felt like too much happened too fast, with little explanation.
It'd be nice to hear more than just "After that, Madara started to change" after spending so much time seeing the kid Madara. And I'd have liked to see Madara awaken his Mangekyou / Hashirama awaken his Mokuton (the Mokuton is particularly important, seeing as he's still the only Senju with it that we know of).
Madara's descent into darkness would have been cool, but since it all happened in this chapter with little explanation, it seems kinda contrived (and making MADARA's evil seem contrived is pretty hard to do).
Cool that Tobirama killed Izuna... it's symbolic, but it's also clear that Madara will have an extreme grudge against Tobirama, and will only reinforce Tobirama's distrust of the Uchiha... he probably sees Madara in every shadow. I wonder if Tobirama feels guilty about killing Izuna, after seeing Madara's level of hatred? Maybe he can see, just a little, why Hashirama's way of doing things would have been better?
And Tobirama used "Hiraishingiri" to deliver the finishing blow on Izuna!! Incoming speculation on the nature of Tobirama's space/time jutsu. Perhaps he teleports his sword strike forward, making it an almost unavoidable strike?
I find it interesting that, not only was Hashirama stronger than Madara, but he was WAY stronger than Madara. So much so that he tells him to his face. Hashirama's all like "come on Madara you know its no use. You cant beat me!"
They fought for an entire day and at the end Madara's totally spent. He was broken mentally and physically. While Hashirama looks like he could go a few more rounds.
Madara doesnt seem so badass after this chapter.
Also, is this chapter foreshadowing that Saskue would never be able to beat Naruto? I mean the Uchiha got their asses handed to them by the Senju.
Tobirama is boss!!!

Funny enough, if medical ninja existed at that point in time, or just Hashirama gave some of his flesh to Izuna, it might have ended differently... perhaps if Izuna didn't mistrust Hashi's words and they had made peace at that point, then they could take care of Izuna's wounds at the place, perhaps even using Hashirama in order to heal him.
So, will Hashirama attempt a suicide now or will some Uchiha force Madara to sign the case-fire agreement, like in Tobi's story ?
The funeral at the beginning of the flashback was for Hashirama's older? (3rd )brother.
What is Aiko supposed to mean ?
It seems that Madara has awakened his Sharingan in one of his friendly sparings with Hashirama, but showed it to others only when he needed to break up with Hashirama.
It seems that Madara has counting problems, because he lost 4 brothers, while Hashirama only 2, so both Tobirama and Hashirama would have to forfeit their life in order for them to be even.
So the Senju were overall superior than Uchiha. I guess it explains why Madara is disappointed in the current Senju clan members.
There are many forks in the road in this sub-ark, like Whether the Hokages will join the Fight and how to integrate them into the story, whether Yin Kurama has joined his Yang, Whether Sasuke will be reached by Hashirama or not, Whether the Juubi has Run Amok or is still under Madara/Tobi's control, also things like how the Bijuu's names will playout, how Naruto will solve the Cycle of Hatred problem....and many many more. We don't even know who will be the final villain yet, (argggh it better not be Tobirama).
I think Kishi wants to speed through some things so as to be able to continue the main story without too much delay and risking losing the momentum.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I hope this crappy flashback will be over by next week. Those flashbacks of Hashirama weren't neccesary ; We already knew from Madara's words and actions and other things from "Naruto" , that they were almost like Naruto and Sasuke in growing up. But naah, Kishi has to show even more how much Sasuke and Naruto resemble the two of them.
As if it hasn't been done already a hundred times.
And the crappy plot device called edo-tensei is being used non-stop ; I wouldn't be surprised if we were to be shown edo-rikudou, edo-kushina ... because I think they are the only dead characters left out of edo - tensei plot device.

The car I drive has enough miles on it the radio only plays cassette tapes. Whose music gets slipped in the slot? For a long time my sole musical accompaniment when driving was Bach.
Especially when driving the back roads.
Bach and Somerset have a way complimenting each other.
These days, Duke Ellington is center stage on the dashboard, and that's because at a thrift store I was able to pick up a matching set of "The Musical Genius of Duke Ellington" for only a dollar, plus tax.
As for Bach, he remains on the front seat, wedged between Springhouse and the camera. If my taste for jazz fizzles, the genius with the powdered wig will be there with his harpsichord.
A harpsichord compliments Herod, though the latter is known for fiddle and guitar.
Does anybody else play the plastic rectangles that rattle when shook? From one who does, let the word go forth cassette tapes sound as good now as ever.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
As the week began last Monday, Emery High had a girl's basketball team still trying to decide whom they were and how the season was maybe going to go and as the week ended maybe, just maybe, they came up with the answer. Emery had to face the number two team and the number three team in 3-A basketball, according to the Salt Lake City newspapers, and Emery needed to do well.
Emery traveled to Carbon on Tuesday night to play a rematch of the season opener and this time Emery had an opportunity to win although they ended up losing the game 58-53. On Thursday night in Castle Dale, Emery took on once-defeated Juab and came away the winner after playing a solid, almost great, game by the score of 59-51.
Against Juab, Emery played their best game of the season as they aggressively defended the entire game and ended up shooting the ball really well. Juab never had an easy opportunity to score the entire game as Emery made them earn everything they got. Jessica Murray and Taylor Mann each came away with three steals in the game to lead the team but the defense was much more than that as they made the Wasps work hard to get off a shot.
Offensively, Emery made 50 percent of their 2-point shots, nearly 50 percent of their 3-point shots and 78 percent of their free throws in the game. This came as they worked the offense and took shots in context of that offense.
Mann was the dominant force in the first half for Emery as she had 17 points and the team did a good job of getting her the ball. Murray came out after the half and scored the first seven points of the half on three nice shots and then ended up scoring 18 points in that second half as her shooting confidence was quite evident. Mann then scored eight points to close out the game and Emery got the hard fought victory. Mann ended the night with 27 points.
Emery won every quarter in the game as they played a very consistent game. Emery led 14-12 after the first quarter and then 25-20 at the half. Behind Murray's scoring, Emery took their third quarter lead to 38-24 before turnovers slowed the Spartans down. Emery led after three 40-33.
Also scoring in the game were Tayler Jewkes with six points on two well placed 3-point shots, Blayr Jeffs with six points and Brooke Jensen with two points on a pair of free throws. Jeffs led the team with five assists; Mann led the team with five rebounds and with four blocked shots.
After the game Coach Steven Gordon praised his team, "We played really hard tonight, we jumped on them at the half and came out and played really well. This was a good game, we have got to continue from here." The girls are excited to go to Delta next week and play the number one ranked team.
Against Carbon, Emery had their opportunities but in the end, the game slipped away from them. Tia Pappas scored 29 points for the Dinos including 15 in the final quarter. She went 10 for 12 from the free throw line in that final period. Emery only made nine free throws in the entire game. Mann fouled out midway through that final quarter. Jensen, Murray and Jeridi Price all finished the game with four fouls each.
Mann scored 16 points in the game, pulled down six rebounds, came away with four steals and blockedt two shots. Jensen also scored 16 points and she pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked two shots. Murray scored 10 points and dished out four assists. Price scored five points, Jeffs scored four points and Jewkes scored two points.
Emery travels to Delta on Tuesday and to Manti on Thursday as region 12 action continues this week. Varsity game time is 7 p.m. each night.

Indian Camp
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Indian Camp was the land owned by William Short in Albemarle County. The Indian Camp purchase was another attempt by Thomas Jefferson to get a friend to live close to him. He was successful with friends like Philip Mazzei, James Monroe, and James Madison.
In 1795, Jefferson bought for Short 1,334 acres of land that was four miles south of Monticello, and he ran it in Short's absence that involved collecting rent and paying the taxes. Although the two men did discuss agricultural methods in hopes of Short coming to live at Indian Camp one day, Short never settled on the land.
When Short decided to live in Philadelphia, he sold the estate to David Higgenbotham in 1813 for over $10,000. Jefferson arranged the sale where Jefferson was able to transfer a $10,000 debt he owed to Higgenbotham's mercantile business to Short, and then Short simply paid off the mercantile debt to Higgenbotham. Jefferson then in part repaid Short when he sold his books to the Library of Congress in 1815.
Higgenbotham renamed the land Morven.
Primary Source References[1]
1795 May 25. (Jefferson to William Short). "An opportunity also lately occurred of making an advantageous purchase of lands for you...The survey which was made yielded 1334 acres...I bought Indian Camp for you because you have expressed some partiality for our neighborhood and climate, because no lands in this state of equal fertility and equal advantages as cheap as ours, and you can always get them off your hands for the same money and it's interest, should you not like the purchase."[2]
1813 February 10. "Executed 3. bonds to Wm Short dated Jan. 31. as follows 1st. 3333 1/3 D. paiable Apr. 30. 1814. 2d. 3333 1/3 D. paiable Apr. 30. 1815. 3d. 3600 D. paiable Apr. 30. 1816 with int. from Dec. 25 next preceding the day they are paiable. These are by way of paiment of my debt to Higgenbotham which they discharge to the 1st. of Aug. 1812. Mr. Short takes them as paiment for the lands he sold to D. Higgenbotham.[3]

Unit Testing Load of Image Resources
I recently decided to try out the Test Driven Development approach for a new utility iPhone App which I'm currently working on. My goal was (and still is) to perform TDD in every possible corner of the design and implementation of the App. As it happened the project was kicked off about the same time as "Test-Driven iOS Development" by Graham Lee was released. This book shows how to develop an iOS App from scratch using TDD throughout the entire process – including design and test of the UI aspects. Graham's book is one of the first (if not the first) I have seen which also covers the UI parts – most other sources I have seen tend to just write this off as not practically possible. The techniques described below are heavily inspired by some of the examples and methods described in the book. Anyway, if you haven't purchased it yet, I can highly recommend you do so – it's a great book.
One of the tasks of my new iPhone App is to display a small icon for indication of battery status for a connected UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). The icon will just be loaded from the bundle resources depending on the status of the power supply. It's fairly straightforward to write a bunch of tests to verify that the correct image is selected for the various states, e.g.:
- (void)testImageNameForUpsNotPresent { UPSStatus *status = [[UPSStatus alloc] initWithStatus:notPresentTestData]; assertThat([status imageName], equalTo(@"UPS_NotPresent")); } - (void)testCanLoadImageForUpsNotPresent { UPSStatus *status = [[UPSStatus alloc] initWithStatus:notPresentTestData]; assertThat([status image], notNilValue()); }
Code Coverage and fopen$UNIX2003 Problems
A couple of readers have reported they were unable to get code coverage on LLVM working properly after following my description in Code Coverage with Xcode 4.2. The problem would manifest itself in a somewhat cryptic error during execution of the unit tests:
Detected an attempt to call a symbol in system libraries that is not present on the iPhone:
fopen$UNIX2003 called from function llvm_gcda_start_file
The discussions have been lively with various suggestions on tweaking compiler flags, inclusion of libraries, missing files in target, etc. It wasn't until I ran into the problem myself – even after following my own advice step by step – that I decided to dig deeper into the cause of the problem. Fortunately it turned out that the solution had already been described in the discussions and it's a rather simple one too.
Code Coverage with Xcode 4.2
This tutorial is just a small follow-up on one of my earlier posts about how to set up code coverage in Xcode.
With the release of Xcode 4.2 code coverage is finally supported using Clang / LLVM. Opposed to what I described in the earlier post you no longer need to force the use of GCC to get code coverage metrics in your unit tests. Since Apple has also decided to drop support for GCC you are more or less forced to switch to Clang / LLVM anyway.
In Xcode 4.2 it's fairly simple to set up code coverage. If you have defined a custom build setting or build rule that enforces GCC 4.2 you will need to remove those first.
Next you'll need to enable the two build settings "Generate Test Coverage Files" and "Instrument Program Flow" as shown below:
Using NSURLProtocol for Injecting Test Data
In earlier posts I described methods for unit testing asynchronous network access and how to use mock objects for further control of the scope of these unit tests. In this tutorial I'll present an alternative way of providing reliable test data by customizing the
NSURLProtocol class in order to deliver static test data.
A few months ago Gowalla made the networking code used in their iPhone client available as open source on GitHub. The AFNetworking library as it is called is a "A delightful iOS networking library with NSOperations and block-based callbacks". One of the things that first caught my eye was the built-in support for accessing JSON based services with just a few lines of code.
The simplicity of the AFNetworking interface inspired me to give it a test spin and write ILBitly which provides an Objective C based wrapper for the Bitly url shortening service. It's very easy to use AFNetworking and especially the JSON support that is accessed using a single class methods. Unfortunately this simplicity also makes it quite difficult to write self-contained unit and mock tests using OCMock. This is mainly because OCMock doesn't support mocking of class methods. My attempts with other techniques such as method swizzling wasn't successful either.
It wasn't until a few days ago when I noticed a discussion on GitHub about how to properly mock the interface to AFNetworking. In the discussion Adam Ernst suggested to use a customized
NSURLProtocol for doing the task. That finally gave me the missing clue on how to solve the testing problem.
Covering it all up
In the previous two posts I described how you can create unit tests for threaded code as well as how you can de-couple your tests from external errors on the internet.
In this post I'll show how to use GCOV and CoverStory to ensure that you are actually testing all parts of your code. Or at least obtain knowledge about which parts of your code that are being tested and which parts that are not being tested by your unit tests.
Having a high degree of code coverage in your unit tests helps to ensure that your code will continue working as expected even after you change parts of it, e.g. when fixing bugs, re-factoring it, adding new features, etc.
The coverage data can also be used to show when you have added enough tests to your code. Once you have obtained full test coverage of a certain function, adding more tests for that same function will probably not help you find more bugs in the code. Instead you can now focus your efforts on adding new functionality without having to worry about it breaking behind your back.

Nash's Late-Game Heroics Lift Rangers to 3-2 Victory
Jim Cerny
Coming off an inspiring 3-2 road win in Chicago Wednesday, the Rangers opened up a four-game homestand Friday night with an exciting come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, one that was secured on Rick Nash's goal with less than two minutes remaining in regulation.
The Rangers never held a lead in the game until Nash roofed a shot from ten-feet out while falling to the ice at 18:02 of the third period, beating Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for his tenth goal of the season, and third in the past three games. The late-game heroics were similar to those Wednesday in Chicago when Carl Hagelin scored the game-winning goal against the Blackhawks with 5:58 to play in regulation.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves to earn the win in goal for the Rangers, who have won two in a row and earned points in four straight games (3-0-1). New York is now 7-2-1 in its last ten games overall, and is unbeaten in regulation over its last four home games (3-0-1). The Rangers will host the Flyers on Sunday when this homestand continues.
Twice over the first two periods the Rangers erased one-goal deficits and thus they and the Stars arrived at the second intermission tied, 2-2.
After Cody Eakin snuck an in-close one-timer under Lundqvist's right arm 4:06 into the game to give Dallas a 1-0 lead, the Rangers answered back seven minutes later on Ryan Callahan's eighth goal of the season--and first since his return January 3rd from a sprained knee. Callahan scored off a pass from Richards as he charged to the net and was in the process of falling to the ice, where he evntually slid to the back boards with his arms raised in the air in celebration.
The Rangers did a lot of good things to set up Callahan's goal. Mats Zuccarello got in on the forecheck and delivered a hard body-check behind the Stars net, and Benoit Pouliot also had a good hit on the shift. Then when the puck came outside the offensive zone, with the Rangers in the midst of a line change, Pouliot patiently waited to get his teammates on side before making a soft pass into the middle for Richards, just off the bench. Richards then stayed with the play after his original shot was blocked, and chipped the puck to Callahan on the right side with the Rangers captain putting it away for the game-tying score at 11:20 of the opening period.
New York outshot Dallas 13-6 in that first period, one that had very little flow to it as both teams iced the puck numerous times and seemed largely out of sync. The second period was similar in play at the start before play picked up as the period wore on.
Dallas' Ryan Garbutt knocked a centering pass from teammate Antoine Roussel out of mid air and then swatted the disc past Lundqvist at 3:34 of the second period to put the Rangers in another one-goal hole. However granted the game's first power play four minutes later, the Rangers took advantage to once again pull even.
Derick Brassard redirected a perfect Zuccarello pass into the cage at 8:22 to tie the score at two apiece. Stationed in the high slot on a set play, Brassard angled his stick to deflect Zuccarello's pass up and over Lehtonen's shoulder for his seventh goal of the season, and first in 11 games.
The Rangers now have five power play goals in their last four games, and 13 in their last 12 matches. However with a chance to snap the 2-2 tie early in the third period the Rangers failed to score when Dallas was caught with too many men on the ice at 1:21--the first part of that power play a 4-on-3 since New York's Hagelin and Dallas' Garbutt were already in the box for coincidental minor penalties.
Despite failing on that early third-period power play the Rangers continued to build momentum that began late in the middle period of play. A long sustained shift in the offensive zone by the Rangers' fourth line began to swing things in the home team's favor. Daniel Carcillo--in his Rangers home-ice debut--delivered another in a series of big hits and Brian Boyle and Dominic Moore kept the Stars on their heels, as well; and when Dallas did finally clear the puck the other way, Michael Del Zotto hammered Roussel in the boards.
Spurred by their physical play the Rangers generated five consecutive shots on goal in the final two minutes of the second period, the best of which was a Ryan McDonagh in-tight chance that was steered aside at the goal line by Lehtonen.
There were some earlier near-misses for New York, as well, with Nash shooting wide on a breakaway 5:55 into the second and Richards ringing a shot off the crossbar at the seven-minute mark of the middle stanza.
Carcillo played a strong game despite limited ice time. The newcomer by way of Los Angeles was credited with a game-high eight hits over 8:38 worth of ice time. As a team the Rangers were credited with 37 hits--16 more than Dallas--with Chris Kreider adding five, and Callahan and Brassard each chipping in with four.

St. John's First Universal Letter 1:1-7
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
THAT WHICH WAS from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life - the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us - that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Skip to comments.Liz Cheney Slams Obama for Terror Attack Quote in Bob Woodward Book
Posted on 09/22/2010 2:13:50 PM PDT by Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
Cheney, daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney, said the remark "suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of President Obama and his administration."
Here's the full statement:
"Americans expect our President to do everything possible to defend the nation from attack. We expect him to use every tool at his disposal to find, defeat, capture and kill terrorists. We expect him to deter attacks by making clear to our adversaries that an attack on the United States will carry devastating consequences. Instead, President Obama is reported to have said, 'We can absorb a terrorist attack.' This comment suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of President Obama and his administration. Once again the President seems either unwilling or unable to do what it takes to keep this nation safe. The President owes the American people an explanation."
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
"We can absorb a terrorist attack."
The quintessential liberal-so long as it's someone else's money and someone else's blood.
He's entirely detached.
Of course this is from Woodward so it has dubious integrity.
'We can absorb a terrorist attack
Lets see how well the Democrats absorb the BOOT IN THE REAR from the American People in November! And Barry does in 2012...
I have NO doubts whatsoever that should this great nation once again be attacked by Islamic fundamentalists, this proud leader of our Republic will search HIGH and he will search LOW and he shall leave NO STONE unturned in order to find out....
Who to apologize to for whatever the United States did to deserve said attack. For realz, he might even bow and kiss a ring or two.
For the CIC to say this he must have knowledge of the type of attack he is discussing? What does he know?
For him to make this statement, he must know it is not something like an incurable weaponized disease.
Unless, that is, he is just making it up as he goes along.
No, the Pres__ent owes the American People a resignation IMHO, while Congress owes the American People an Impeachment of this POS.
I cannot believe the mouthpiece for Obama have talking points at all much less this quickly...
The Obama mouthpiece is saying only right wingers are concerned about this. The MSM better not ratchet up talking points for their false savior.
Wow! Good for Liz.
***Of course this is from Woodward so it has dubious integrity.***
Woodward would see nothing wrong with this comment - and why he left it in the manuscript - that's what makes it authentic.
And we're building a mosque right near ground zero to prove I'm right.....
Well said.
LOVE the picture couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama also lied through his teeth. While campaigning he said many times that we are going to "win" in Afghanstan. But once he became president, he only wants to end the war immediately, without victory.
Good for her!
***We can absorb a terrorist attack.***
Rules of Engagement from a CIC!
Unbelievable that a President, a father, a husband would be prepared to absorb an attack rather than take a pre-emptive strike?????
How many dead children?
Oh Liz, I'm beyond wanting an explanation: I want a RESIGNATION!
So why is the POTUS putting up curtains on an EXIT window. (it ain't a door)
Also, this A-hole says we can absorb a terrorist attack. What makes him think they will stop at 1 (one) attack? they will hit us again and again if they can ... until he says 'uncle' and asks us to understand and negotiate terms with them.
p.s. Gov Palin and the range officer need to wear protection.
Exactly the entire statement is just fine to any progressive commiecrat.
Ha! I have seen this photo so many times and never noticed the exit sign above the window? door. A subtle message....
It is good the world knows that if attacked, we will not respond in kind as long as the boy-child is president. At least the terrorist nations can sleep well tonight..
I wish she would have said resignation BUT the MSM would have a field day saying how can she say this over a book quote.
Considering this is obama speaking, the "we" refers to him. He is royalty isn't he? we know his wife is. Obama admits that he can absorb a terrorist attack. Heck, I think he prays for one just to get him out of the white hut. It wold be an easy way out for him.
Then we must consider his background. What he may consider as being a terrorist would be different from what "We The People" would consider. (3 considers - yikes!)
Clearly, the author saw nothing wrong with, or he never would have included such a revealing peak into the brain and heart of the man he admires.
ROFL. They're in full victim mode with off-set Alinksy's.
IOW, the spin doctrs are shooting every which way and hoping to find something that sticks.
Obama's big mouth might play well with the radical left, but even those people aren't likely to want to withstand an attack on their home turf.
I'd like to see Obama, the scrawny, muslim, closet homo bastard, PERSONALLY absorb a terrorist attack.
That wasn't his whole statement. He also said that we could absorb the worse attacks and used 9/11 as an example, saying we absorbed that attack and it made us stronger. What a jackass we have for a President. I wonder if the families of the victims of 9/11 think that we "absorbed" the attack. This guy should be impeached for this statement alone.
Haven't we already absorbed enough terrorist attacks?
It really is a shocking word choice. A millionnaire can "absorb" a costly traffic ticket and a straight-A student can "absorb" a single failing grade - in that they might be temporarily upset, but in the grand scheme of things they're really none the worse for wear. The same cannot and should not be said about 9/11. Our losses that day were permanent, and our way of life was altered in real and lasting ways. That our president doesn't see that is astonishing.
Any bets on when Hillary will resign as SOS and announce she will save us all and replace Obama?
I luv Liz!

Topic: Need a recommendation for web hosting
Can anybody recommend cheap web hosting for my site?
It's an application where users post contents and images and view them. They don't post often, only when creating and changing the profile, although it allows max 100 images total per user (but usually it would be much less). I reckon it would be about 2-5 Mb storage per user, images and indexes, and I will need to upgrade to a better hosting plan once I get more users. I don't want to get into an expensive plan right now because the users for now will be only my friends. I optimized the application as much as possible but the bottleneck where it might become slow is uploading images.
I will need ImageScience and Ultrasphinx installed. The application uses caching in the file system, but if memcached is available it would be great.
I was considering hostingrails.com, but some reviews say it's slow. Does anybody know how slow it is?
Thanks beforehand.

I have worked with computers and technology for a number of years now, and after all this time, one thing I have noticed is that people tend to under-utilize or avoid technology, partly because they don't understand it or feel intimidated by it.
So, over the past several months, I have written a handful of these Tech Tips articles, where I have attempted to explain many technical topics in simple terms, so they make more sense to not-so-techie people.
During this time, I have discovered first-hand how difficult such writing can be. Beyond grammar issues and word choice, explaining technology in layman's terms isn't always easy. There were times I have over-simplified to get my point across, and, at other times, I have gone into too much detail.
And although I've tried my best to ensure my information is accurate and that my writing is grammatically correct, I have made mistakes. In my last article, I was embarrassed to find, just after the paper was sent to press, that I had mistyped "Optical Character Recognition" as "Optical Carrier Resolution." I knew better - why I did that, I dunno, but it happens.
All in all, however, I have enjoyed writing these short articles. I have also learned a thing or two myself along the way.
With that said, I would like to know if these ramblings of mine are useful to you. Are you learning anything from them? If so, what else would you like to learn about? It doesn't necessarily have to be a question about computers, but it should have some sort of technology theme. Call the Sun Advocate, (435) 637-0732 (ext. 17) or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have suggestions.

1892–1984, American publisher, born in New York City.
After working (1912-14) for the Doubleday, Page Publishing Company, he founded (1915) his own firm (Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.), which remained independent until 1960, when the company was sold by Knopf to Random House, Inc.; the Knopf imprint remains in existence. Knopf emphasized translations of great contemporary European literature, at that time neglected by American publishers, and specialized in producing books that were outstanding for fine printing, binding, and design. His colophon, the borzoi, became synonymous with beauty and taste in book design and high standards in the selection of books for publication.

Is it possible that a majority of Americans hope for a better future now rests in the hands of a man who could stand by and watch a newborn baby screaming for help die because of his mandated refusal to give it food or medical attention?
Barack Obama's voting record on infanticide in Illinois was well detailed by a nurse working at an Illinois hospital. Nurse Jill Stanek wrote that she discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms or trash cans.
Legislation has been presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It states that all live-born babies are guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted. BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Senators Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the House. But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then state Senator Barack Obama. Obama voted against the measure twice and it ultimately failed. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama's lack of mercy, shocked me. I have framed on my wall a Chicago Sun-Times cartoon published during the campaign. Obama is holding a sign that read "Live birth abortion" on it. God is reaching down from heaven to a baby in front of Obama, and the baby is reaching up to God. Obama is yelling at God, "You keep out of this!" Former Presidential candidate Alan Keyes recently said Jesus Christ wouldn't vote for Obama because of Obama's fanatical support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide. Many in the pro-life movement see Obama as the most evil man who has ever run for president.
How could it come to this? Are Americans now ready to trade their souls for the promise of lower gas prices?
Now before any of you mistake me for a Republican let me clearly state that Barack wouldn't even have a chance were it not for the carefully directed destruction of the constitution and the economy due in large part to the Republicans. It is my firm belief that the players behind the scenes are using the Republicans and the Democrats like a tag team taking turns pushing Americans towards compromise on moral issues that will eventually result in the greatest loss of all, our souls.
Bear in mind that during the well televised Clinton-Lewinski affair, gasoline prices were virtually cut in half and the cry went up "Who cares about the morals of the president. He is good for the economy." In doing so millions of American children were constantly fed this example.
Is there a way out? Yes. We should stop supporting the lesser of two evils. Stop voting for the parties who are taking turns destroying America. Take a close look at the Constitution Party. The Constitution Party has the original answers to fix problems like abortion, high gas prices, free trade, taxation, the Patriot Act, McCain-Fiengold, and a host of other intense problems facing Americans. If winning the election is all that matters to you than the Constitution Party isn't for you. But, if your soul matters to you maybe it's time you acted like it. Realize God in his fairness has allowed us millions of witnesses from every nation, race, and culture, people who have died and come back to tell us what the other side is like. For some it was a terrifying experience, (so much for the you see what you want to see theory).
The Bible describes our problem very clearly; "And when he cometh, he shall deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity," (Jeremiah 43:11).

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
South Africa's Nelson Mandela Hospitalized
Nelson Mandela, the first black president of once white-ruled South Africa, was admitted to a military hospital Saturday for medical tests. But the nation's president said there was "no cause for alarm" over the 94-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner's health, the Associated Press reported.
A statement issued on behalf of President Jacob Zuma said that Mandela was doing well and was receiving medical care "consistent for his age." The statement provided no other details, the AP said.
Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison for fighting the racist white rule system known as apartheid, became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and served one five-year term. He later retired from public life, and last made a public appearance in 2010 when South Africa hosted the World Cup soccer tournament, the news service reported.
Mandela was hospitalized for a night in February for minor diagnostic surgery for an abdominal complaint. In January 2011, he was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for a respiratory infection. He was released several days later, the AP reported.
During his years of imprisonment he contracted tuberculosis.
3 More Mass. Compounding Pharmacies Ordered Closed
Three compounding pharmacies in Massachusetts have been ordered to halt operations following unannounced inspections by state regulators. The inspections came in the wake of a deadly meningitis outbreak linked to another compounding pharmacy in the state, the New England Compounding Center.
OncoMed Pharmaceutical Services stopped production at its Waltham facility after an inspection revealed issues with the storage of chemotherapy drugs. Pallimed Solutions was told to cease production of sildenafil citrate (sold as Viagra) after inspectors found that it had been prepared with improper components. The Whittier Pharmacist was told to halt sterile compounding after unspecified violations were identified, CBS News/The Associated Press reported.
As of Dec. 3, 363 cases of fungal meningitis and more than 150 spinal infections have been linked to contaminated steroid injections made by the New England Compounding Center, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thirty-six people have died.
The outbreak has raised questions about the regulation of compounding pharmacies, which mix medications. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg has asked lawmakers to give the FDA more authority and funding to oversee compounding pharmacies, which are regulated by states, CBS News/AP reported.
Nurse in Kate Middleton Radio Prank Reportedly Commits Suicide
News reports suggest that the nurse at a London Hospital who was tricked into providing two Australian radio hosts with information about the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy condition has committed suicide.
At about 9:35 a.m. Friday, officers responded to reports of a woman found unconscious at an address in central London, Scotland Yard said. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and the death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, CBS News reported.
King Edward VII hospital confirmed the nurse's death.
Earlier this week, the two radio hosts called the hospital and pretended to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles asking about the Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, who was being treated for severe morning sickness.

During a recent Ferron City Council Meeting, Jeff Guymon, network engineer, gave a presentation concerning the proposed changes to Ferron City residents during the countywide addressing standardization. Guymon explained that the utility companies, package delivery companies, along with emergency services, have encountered a great deal of discrepancy in the addresses of county residents. The system of post office boxes has stalled the procedure from taking place sooner, but many other problems are associated with incorrect street addresses.
In order to standardize the street addresses and bring the county's data base into agreement with other data bases, Guymon has done extensive mapping and locating residences throughout the county. GPS work has been done to correctly indicate the roads. In his capacity as network engineer for the Emery County Information Technology department, it has been Guymon's duty to organize this project and get the transition completed.
Guymon informed the Ferron City Council that there were two ways to approach the situation as far as the town of Ferron was concerned. The first option is the odd/even method for addressing. This would effect fewer residences of Ferron, but the town would still not be in line with the other towns of Emery County. The second option would effect twice as many residences, but would bring the town into alignment with the remainder of the county. The largest portion of the problems lie in the outskirts of the towns. For residents inside city limits, the changes should be minimal. "The safety issues alone are worth the inconvenience," said Guymon.
Guymon was requesting that the council enter into a memorandum of understanding on the ordinance, which is in draft form and was prepared by Allen Thorpe, authorizing the county to be the responsible party for the new standardized addresses. The ordinance would require any new buildings to contact Emery County for their designated address. The county's computer system would locate the property and assign the number that would coordinate with the location.
Guymon noted that many towns in the county have streets with the same name, several houses with the same numbers, and houses with numbers out of sequence. This reorganization will solve many of the problems associated with the conflicting addresses. In the past, there have been several incidents in which the correct house could not be located by emergency services.
In an attempt to educate the public, Guymon is visiting each town council meeting with the maps and changes and each town will have them available for the public. Before the changes are implemented, public hearings will be held to take comments from county residents. County officials will be at the public hearings to answer questions. Up to this point, Emery has been visited and held the public hearing. Emery will be the least effected by these changes and no negative comments were aired.
Councilperson Jo Sansevero asked Guymon who would be responsible for notification to mortgage companies and utilities. Guymon responded by saying the responsibilities would be split between the county and the property owner. The county will notify all emergency services and utilities. The property owner would be responsible for notifying personal accounts.
Guymon also noted that County Recorder Dixie Swasey is researching methods of transition and will make the recommendation for the smoothest way to accomplish the changes in relation to mortgage companies involved with property owners. One of the most important topics is to inform the mortgage holders that the property has not changed, but that the county is reorganizing the address system.
Emery County's IT department consists of Mick Robinson, Lee Rasmussen, Guymon and Sherman D. Miller, who has been doing much of the work on this project. The Ferron City Council tentatively accepted the proposal and scheduled their public hearing for July 22 at 6 p.m.
