7 Makeup Tips for Women Who Wear Contact Lenses
Ladies, you know how annoying it is to get makeup in your eye. But it's even worse when you wear contact lenses, because makeup can stick to your lenses. Here are a few tips for keeping your eyes looking and feeling good.
1. Put your contact lenses in before applying makeup. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your contacts so you won't transfer any oils, creams, or lotions to the lenses.
2. Use only hypoallergenic makeup. Almay and Clinique have eye-friendly products, but check out other brands too.
3. Cream eye shadow is less likely to get in your eye than powder, but creams can irritate your eyes more. Choose water-based creams.
4. If you prefer powder, keep your eyes closed during application. Then brush off any excess powder before opening your eyes.
5. Never apply eyeliner between your lashes and your eye—only to the portion of your lashes that is well away from your eye.
6. To remove eye makeup, wash and dry your hands. Then remove your contacts, being careful not to brush them into your makeup. Finally, use eye makeup remover.
7. Buy new makeup frequently—at least every three months. Don't use old eye makeup, because over time bacteria will get into the product and then into your eyes, where it can cause an infection. One way to tell if your makeup is too old is if it has a strange smell. Also, don't share your eye makeup with others.
You can also use contact lenses to enhance your makeup efforts. Check out our colored contacts to see how you can customize your look!

Stanley Cup Finals: let the analysis begin
May 21 2008 09:14AM
The Finals have been set. Now we can sit back to enjoy a week of the talking heads jawing over who will win, and more importantly, who predicted the series correctly so far this year.
You see, if you're on TV, radio or newspaper, correctly predicting who will win a series is the ultimate badge of honour. Even if you didn't predict who will win, the key is to make as many statements as possible, so that you can bring back old footage suggesting you knew something the rest of us didn't. Looking to the week ahead, you can count on the following things happening:
- Bob MacKenzie will talk as though it was a foregone conclusion these two would meet in the Final. He may go so far as to show footage from November where he predicted the Pens would win a Saturday night matchup, and will somehow interpret this as being a sign he endorsed the Pens on their Cup run. Then he'll enjoy most of the media buffet before Game One.
- Darren Dreger and Nick Kypreos will debate who will win the Finals. Kypreos will stand with his feet squarely set apart, ever present Blackberry in hand, and will intimidate Dreger until he either: agrees with whatever prediction Kypreos makes, or cuts to a commercial.
- PJ Stock will try and say something clever about how he drew on his NHL experience as a player and believed this outcome would happen sometime during the second period in Game Two of the Wings-Stars series. Ron Maclean will look on with comic disbelief, while secretly wishing CBC would let him sit while delivering the pre-game pieces instead of having to stand. Kelly Hrudey will play with a balloon he found off camera.
- Don Cherry will become angered with the fact that Ron Maclean really did predict the Finals match up, and will suggest to Maclean on air that "good ol' Canadian boys don't get a fair shake because of no-touch icing." Maclean will retort that Coach's Corner is "running very short on time."
- The Edmonton Journal will run through the predictions of each and every sports writer to date, and some of the business writers as well. They will include their predictions at the bottom of the article for each writer in bold text to denote their seriousity.
- The Edmonton Sun will jam its predictions in a tiny article wedged between a used car advertisement and an ad for a company that will loan you money, even if your "Grandmama won't."
Now for the record let's look back at someone who made only one prediction shall we?
May 6 & 7, 2008
Wanye Gretz predicts:
- Wings in 6
- Penguins over the Flyers in seven—you can count on it so bet the farm. If you don't have a farm, sign over the farm of someone you know and rest easy knowing it's a lock.
Sweet. But while the media is talking about who knew what, when and how, all we're thinking about over here at the Nation is one thing:
Our gigantic bet we placed on the Pens to win the Cup.
We're going to dig deep, find out the real deal between these two teams and go the distance—despite the handicap of having no real inside knowledge or more than a passing understanding of either team.
It all means nothing to us really, lambs—both as fans and as indebted gamblers. We know we want the Pens to win, we need the Pens to win and dammit the Pens will win!
So this week we are going to do an in-depth analysis of the two cities, the two teams, and some factors that may come into play. We may even compare the WWF wrestlers born in each city and figure out who would win in a fight.
And in the end, we will show you why you should bet on the Pens in the finals. 'Cause if you followed our advice, you would now have an extra farm betting YOUR farm in the Conference Finals. Ipso facto: You are up a farm and should really double down in the finals.
A five day break between games?!? No wonder hockey is the only professional sport that actually loses viewers (and interest)during it's playoff run. Call me in October when the Oilers are playing again. The NHL is a joke. The journalists and pundits are the only ones who give a crap about hockey at this time of the year. I guess the fact I'm on Oilers' Nation makes me look like a hypocrite, but that's only because I'm killing time at work. I'll be on the golf course if you need me...
Let us all take a page out of Chaz's book and come to the OilersNation to kill time at work.
there you are Wanye. Where the heck were you for four days?????
Chaz is sad because of the rain = no golf.
Who doesn't kill time with Oiler blogs?
I agree with Chaz about the terrible NHL schedule.
It seems like a lifetime ago, Kevin Quinn and his Overtime winners.
I would agree that a 5 day wait is excessive, but I remember in 06 when the Oil had a 8 day break between dusting the ducks (quack) and game 1 of the cup finals. This "break" allowed me to go to Puerto Vallarta for a week and not miss a second of the action. I guess But since I am not in Mexico, I cant stand this wait............so so so long.... Wait a minute, the Oil arent in the finals so who cares.
Chaz do you have room for a fourth?
1011011 - Perhaps I was golfing with Chaz and the Ninja. Or maybe I was with your mom the entire time
Wanye: You swine. You'll go far in the sham that is sportswriting.
I still care - I care 24/7/365

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I was just curious how important the average MMO player feels the lore/storyline of the MMO they are playing is. I see a lot of people saying that they usually open the quest text, click accept and then go do what they need to do and then click complete with no idea who they were doing it for, or why.
What do YOU think?
I think there is really a sliding scale of how much lore/story an MMORPG needs to have. If you have too much, players become focused on the idividual experience instead of utilizing the MMO aspect of the game. Using too little will make the game seem shallow and drive off players who like to have explanations of why things are in the game.
It's a difficult balance but I think it is important to have some rather than have little to none.
I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.
I am F2P player. I support games when I feel they deserve my money and I want the items enough.
I don't troll, and I don't take kindly to trolls.
It's a huge factor for me, but then again I grew up with console RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. My MMO experience has been limited mostly to playing FFXI, FFXIV and WoW.
Some people may bash on WoW's presentation of quest text, but there was a lot of lore leading up through the vanilla game and the major story arcs were written well enough I think.
The FF MMOs haven't disappointed me on the story front. Well...FFXIV 1.0's original story was mostly unfinished, but when the new directior took over, he put in a really good story to close out the game to usher in the new iteration of it.

I'm doing the quest to level my character.
The reason I'm questing is because killing mobs for XP has been nerfed to the point where it is no longer a viable option.
I don't really care what reason the developer gives for the NPC to want me to kill 10 rats. I just know that I need to kill 10 rats to progress in the game.

I would say lore is extremely important to an MMO. It basically sets the stage for the game. Why each city is where it is, all those important landmarks and why they are there. The lore is what drives the game, influences NPC actions, bonds and rifts between races and should give you focus as you create and work through your goals and achievements in game.
Storyline an MMO can do without. Storylines don't really belong in MMOs in their current state at all.
Played: EQ1 (10 Years), Guild Wars, Rift, TERA
Tried: EQ2, Vanguard, Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Runes of Magic and countless others...
Currently Playing: GW2

For me: story is better than nothing, lore is better than story, simulation with news/history is better than lore.
Story would be better in MMOs if developers implemented it on a grander scale.
With updates/expansions progress story lines and change areas. Basically what Blizzard did with Cataclysm but with every expansion.
Im playing Rift Storm Legion currently and time and the game story has moved forward but only on the new continents. Time has stood still on the old continent.
So, what happens with the second Rift expansion? A new unseen until now continent that progresses time and the game story while the Storm Legion continents stand still just like the Vanilla continent before it?
Realisticaly its only good the first time through.
It would be a very rare and epic event to create a story so engaging, so entertaining, so well put together, that it could stand as the foundation for a game.
Most people are concerned with where to go, what to kill, and how quickly they will get to endgame to even care.
I remember Rift tried really hard to impliment story and lore in everything. I remember sitting there in agony waiting for an NPC to RP during a raid or boss fight. In all honesty...even if it was good i didnt care.
TSW had a fantastic story however. It was interesting and i wanted to find out more. Still even with that...mechanics of a themepark get boring for me.
I think a sandbox with bits and pieces of lore through out the world, and NPC's that actually talk to you but dont tell you what to do would be more interesting. That way the people who want to learn will do so, and the rest will carry on.
It seems like story has gone the same path as music in game. Developers figure people turn it off no matter how good it is or how much money they spend on it..so they relegate it to backround ambient music and dont pay much attention.
Also...nothing irritates me more than haveing a really crappy story shoved in my face. I think a LOT of developers over estimate how awesome their story is.

Thank you for informing me of what should be important to me, and if not, where I belong. Really opened my eyes. Now if only they could get us our own drinking fountains.

Lore is different to quest text or storyline. Lore is all the background info on the world which should drive a lot of the game but doesn't need to be spelled out unless the player wants to go looking for it.
A quest could just say go to a tomb and get a handful of dust from a black jar in the back. It doesn't need to explain why.
The lore would separately explain what the burial customs are in that region and what the significance of the black jar is and what the dust inside is and therefore likely what the quest-giver wants it for but that lore should require exploring, finding books, learning languages, talking to npcs etc. doing all that would be optional - although it would also be cool if it was tied into some kind of achievement path for the players who liked that kind of thing.
although the main obvious benefit is for a particular niche of players i'd say it's also a good idea from a developer's point of view because the more lore/backstory you develop for a world the easier it will be to dream up new content.

But if you are into MMORPG's, then the most important story/lore should be those created by the players themselves, otherwise your in the wrong genre and should be playing single player RPG's.
See how that works?
People have a lot of different reasons for playing MMORPG's, and vary on what is important to them or not.
I'm in the camp that story/lore isn't that important, need to have some to give context/setting to the game world, but like many others, I pretty much click through the quest text without reading more than what the objectives are and then move on.
Played EVE for over 4 years, and there's some sort of lore about 4 competing empires, and some npc pirate factions that invade periodically (incursions) and there's even some sort of religious, racial context to it all. Pretty much sums up what I know about the lore.
Now, if you were to ask me about the various stories I've read and heard about players and their corporations and alliances doing during that time, I could go on for hours with all of the great adventures that have occurred. (even though I wasn't present for many of them)
Again, that's just me. Games like SWTOR and GW2 almost make me cringe as I sit through the "story" scenes, too much like watching TV or reading a book, and truthfully, both of those mediums do it far better.
I gave up on single player RPG's for roughly the same reason, titles such as DA are too much like watching the action, rather than making the player the center of the aciton. Skyrim was a lot more bearable, just couldn't get into being the only "real" person in the game world.

In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.

"This is the most intelligent, well qualified and articulate response to a post I have ever seen on these forums. It's a shame most people here won't have the attention span to read past the second line." - Anon
I think it's very important. And I'm not even a lore freak. I admit, I don't read really everything.
But I know that lore shapes the world. It give color to the zones. It explains why those monsters are there, or why that clan is aggressive or whatever.
Without lore, nothing has meaning in the world.
Lore can be important and add to a MMO imo, but the story and voice over stuff doesn't do much for me.
Lore is the only reason i subscribe on and off to WoW. If it didnt have a good Lore or any at all i wouldnt touch it.
As a casual player i dont focus on end game in mmos. I focus on the LORE, PVE and how my character revolves around it. Thats why i love mmos where each race starts in a different area and all have a separate storyline. While hardcore players have a blast with end game i have a blast exploring each race's story and how they connect to the main LORE.
EDIT: and im not a lore whore, i dont read books about it. Only the wiki.
Lore if its a world based on past events are important for the game and how we interact with the stories that unfold later.
Story? hmmm that depends on different things, quest stories maybe if its relevant to what I am expected to do, missions fairly important as they must link into the rest of the journey, global or world stories, yes they should be interesting and I like them to be complex. If I was rp'ing then I would make my own stories up, and sometimes they just go with the flow to other characters responces, which feel more natural, but they would also be in with the lore of the world the character is set in.
Lore and Story go hand in hand, you can't create a story with no lore or it just becomes chaotic, Lore also creates rules of what is in and not in the world, if for example your lore is based on mythical dragons and wizards, you are hardly likely to pull out a sub machine gun.
Its kind of unavoidabe, but otherwise not important.
If other aspects of the game are great, I could perfectly live with poor lore, and good lore wont compensate an otherwise poor game.
Its pretty much like graphics. Nice to have them, unavoidable to have them, but essential for having fun ? No, poor graphics is perfectly fine if the game is fun.
Cut scenes/story driven quests:
Just one small way to make players interested in the game. Can be utilized as a reward or as a way to immerse the player and stimulate their creativity. However, this type of content takes a long time to create and short time to enjoy so devs should only use enough of it to get players interested in deeper gameplay.
Lore/reading in or outside the game:
Some people dig it. The fanatics will read it cuz they don't have anything better to do. Always good to have it, but you may as well let the players write it themselves.
Play as your fav retro characters: cnd-online.net. My site: www.lysle.net. Blog: creatingaworld.blogspot.com.
I think it's largely dependent on how many authors you have ghosting your IP's novels. They can use a consistent framework to draw from.
It's odd that the players would consider it so important, given how often they've seen companies produce entire continents from thin air to sell an expansion.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

I don't really need a story to hold my hand and tell me where to go. On the other hand lore is what makes the adventure interesting.
A well done story doesnt hold any hands. It does hold hands when its poorly used and it becomes a quest hub grind.... Devs seem to have a thing with this badly made questing system that they apparently cant let it go and do something new and different.

North Central Regional Library has wonderful book clubs. Last week I posted a newspaper article that our Entiat librarian Esther wrote regarding her club which is celebrating that they have read 100 books. Wow !! 100 books!! If you have not read the blog please do as the celebration includes a "one book read" of Laura Hillenbrand's best selling book, Unbroken.
I love to hear from books clubs. I know that the club that meets at the WPL has been helping out in the community and I asked the leader Kathy to write a bit to tell us what they have done.
The NCRL Brown Bag Book Club has been meeting for 10 years at the library. They meet the third Wednesday of each month from noon to 1 PM. The current membership is 29 members of various ages with an average of 15 to 20 people attending each month. New members are always welcome. Each month's selected book brings plenty of invigorating discussion and often times sharing of how the story relates to their lives. For a group so large it is truly incredible how everyone is respectful of each other's opinions and everyone has an opportunity to talk. The book lists grows as members suggest a specific book and/or author. In December they donate household items to Wenatchee's Haven of Hope. In January 2012 they read Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. They were so inspired by the great organizations available to help women that the group decided to donate to Kiva, a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.The group read the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett earlier last year and when the movie was released a group from the club went to the movie and out to dinner to discuss their reaction to the movie version of the book.
I met with the group in December and yes it is amazing how such a large group works so well together, giving everyone a chance to speak. I would love to hear from more books clubs, how long you have been meeting, what makes your group work, what books you enjoy, etc??

I heard that Kuma brings Ace's body to Moria, dunno if dead or alive. Maybe BB gave it to the WG making him a shichibukai and kuma somehow got ahold of it and brings it to Moria so that he can extract his shadow. just thoughts.

Better translation of the current summary:

This is assuming that the person Moria mentioned is in fact one of the Yonkou. Hopefully this will then spark Moria to take a more active role in the arc, instead of just sitting back and letting events unfold around him, even though doing just that reflects his personality well. He might be more motivated to take this Thriller Bark show on the road to the New World, hastening the pace that the Mugiwara Pirates are on to try and get their shadows back. I suspect that Luffy will also be present when Kuma and Moria meet, and we may even get a demo of Kuma's abilities if Luffy goes on the offensive against him. Again, this is all just speculation, kind of what I would like to see happen. Regardless of how this arc ends, I also doubt that it will be the last we'll see of Moria, because I think he's just too strong of a character to eliminate from the series after only one arc. Somehow the Mugiwara Pirates will escape Thriller Bark, and Moria might either seek to get the shadows back at another time, or he'll just go after that guy that he wants revenge on. This is just my two cents on this whole thing...
Simplicity is of its own grandeur...
If anything, the previous storyline enemies are following the Straw Hats, waiting for the chance of revenge. Or just not doing anything really important as of yet.
Mogan - whereabouts unknown, he was last seen floating by Jango during his chapter title page arc.
Alvida & Buggy - chasing the Straw Hats in the Grand Line
Kuro - is currently exiled to the life of a pirate "again"
Don Kreig - whereabouts unknown after being defeated
Arlong - is currently in prison or dead
Wapol - living life as a rich nobleman after his chapter title page arc
Crocodile - In Impel Down
Baroque Works - 3 members in Impel Down, almost everyone at the new Spider's Cafe after the chapter title page arc
Enel - currently exploring the moon during his chapter title page arc
Foxy - sailing the seas after being defeated by Luffy
CP9 - details unknown, they could easily be dead after the buster call attack
Blackbeard - searching for the Straw Hats
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.
However Samus Aran is now some unknown low ranking military personal.
Also the space pirates worship some giant doomsday hula hoop machine.

Just in case someone's confused, Muru's spoiler is not confirmed true (and it's probably a fake one), so don't take it so serious

"They were nice looking shoes but they didn't have my size of 9.5 so I tried a 9. It was too small."

Narrow and short for a plus-size lady
"I'm plus size and have very wide feet. I ordered the WW size and they fit great BUT...the sole is quite narrow. So my arches feel great, but not the soles of my feet, I feel like only the middle part of my feet are supported from the bottom...They also come a little short. I'm usually a 9, ordered a 9.5 and they are still short. As lovely as they are, I need to return them..."

Comfy and cute
"These shoes are very comfortable and have a nice fit. I did order the wide and I am glad I did. They fit just right. I like the color and the floral embellishment. The heel is a nice height too. Not too high but something more than flat."

Richard Hibbard and Ryan Bevington return to the front row, with Samoa international George Stowers named as a replacement.

This is my pretty little Calico kitty, Daisy. I love her colorings of brown, white and black.
Supplies Used:
DEB Gesso Brown -- Paper Mktg2 600, Paper3_4, Paper3_8
For most of the embellishments I used DEB SSStyles Gesso and for the diamonds I used DEB Gesso Paper3_3
Pretty colors, page and kitty Carol and you got such great photos. I like how you put your page together and glad to see you here.
Sweet, love her choice of bed lol. Another gorgeous cat, she has beautiful colours and a great choice of colours chosen for your LO, just right. Love the cluster of photos and elements! TFS xxx
Oh, I love all of the papers you used for your background, Carol - beautiful, beautiful layout and Daisy is just gorgeous! I'm so happy to see you back doing your wonderful kitty cat layouts!
Great set of photos. Love your bg
What a crack up Carol, cats choose the oddest places don't they?? Lovely tones to work with Daisy, good to see you back scrapping again!
love the texture and colors of the strips of paper in the background. love the sink picture!
Great photos - my Rory loves to lay in the sink, too. The wood sections look great as does the checkerboard.
These photos are so cute and I love how you've used the Gesso paper and styles!

Comments: I wore Instinct 1.5's for the Disney 2014 Marathon. As a racewalker, I find these shoes to be the best fit for style of movement. I have put in about 75 miles so far on this pair and have not noticed any issues with the top mesh. Really looking forward to the 2.0's being released soon. As much as I like the shoes, a little more cushioning will be welcomed as long as it doesn't throw off the geometry.
From: Chris, Williamstown, WV, USA
Comments: I love my Altra Instinct shoes for the foot shape and zero drop. Didn't really like running in them because they just killed any spring I have. Loved walking in them. Wore them to work every day. Bought a pair of Instinct 1.5 to replace them but will be returning. They are 1/4 inch shorter and too narrow. They also are round toed instead of foot shaped. They look like they will have the same durability problems as my original Instincts so without the foot shape they really are not worth it. I could not tell by the picture that they had changed the shape but I can sure tell when I put them on.
From: James, Plano, TX
Comments: I just bought a pair of the black ones. I already owned an orange pair, both size 13. I really like these shoes for walking but... the sole is noticeably narrower in the forefoot on the newer shoes and a wide forefoot is the reason i wanted the shoes. Holding them next to each other it appears to be almost a 1/4 inch difference. I am returning them.
From: Joe, Michigan
Comments: Nice shoe but same durability issues. I love the roomy toe box but the heel is a little loose. I wish the heel fit was similar to the Superior which is a bit tighter. I was hoping for more miles but it seems that the upper will disintegrate soon. I roll my right foot a little to the outside and the lateral edge is now beveled and wearing quickly as I have reached the foam. Definitely not what I was expecting. Be forewarned: the fit will lure you in with its roomy toe box and the ride is comfortable but not plush. In the end, though, you will have to resign yourself to fewer miles than anticipated. Well worth the entry price but definitely not a long term investment.
From: Andy, West Hartford, CT, USA
Comments: the Instinct 1.5 didn't feel much different than the Instinct 1.0, but like many others have said, tore the outer mesh after 80 miles. Also doing much more aggressive street runs with 400-600ft elevation change so they do take a bit of abuse but I am looking into the provisions now. HOPEFULLY a bit more support.
From: Cory, Pinesville, NC, USA
Comments: Nice shoe, a bit heavy but comfortable. The mesh tore after 150 miles and now I have rips on both sides. Other reviewers made the same comments on the Altra website, but oh so strangely, they were taken down.
From: Benjamin, New York, NY, USA
Comments: First, I want to say that I love these shoes. However, the upper is like tissue paper in terms of durability. I had the 1.0 and they lasted about 400 miles. I got the 1.5 and the upper started tearing at about a hundred miles. The store replaced them and the next pair did the same thing. I am now wearing these shoes with duct tape around the uppers (I'm at a hundred and fifty miles). There have been many reports of similar problems with this shoe. Until they fix the upper, don't buy this shoe.
From: Bret, Greensboro, NC, USA
Comments: Awesome shoes. Bought these a month ago and have replaced all my other running shoes. The adjustment for the zero drop was very easy. My legs feel much better at the end of runs with these shoes than conventional shoes. The zero drop and limited cushioning really provide the feedback to run with a more efficient stride which is why I think I feel so much better at the end of runs.
From: Eric, Richland, WA

Netgear has jumped on the Google TV bandwagon with the NeoTV GTV100 media player.
It's a media player small enough to nestle alongside your home entertainment equipment, but powerful enough to deliver video-on-demand content, local content from USB storage and manage live TV.
It jumps onto your home network via Ethernet or Wifi and Internet browsing on your big screen is possible by way of Google's refined chrome browser. For ease of use, the two way remote features a QWERTY keyboard.
Content management is easy too as its native search inquisitively browses all of your local libraries. Additionally, it'll display content—music, videos and pictures—from Android smartphones and tablets easily, provided they're compatible with DLNA.
Australian pricing and availability has not announced yet, but upon its release in America it will cost $US129.99.

Connecting Healthcare and Nutrition through the Summer Food Service Program
"Two is better than one." Holding true to this timeless adage, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is teaming up with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand the reach of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). FNS strives to increase food security and reduce hunger by providing children and low-income people access to food, while HRSA is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated, or medically vulnerable. There is an intrinsic mission overlap between FNS and HRSA given that their services target similar populations, and they have found a way to collaborate by rallying around SFSP. Read more »

You may be saying, "I'm too old to be active. I'm bound to fall and break something." Not true! In fact, regular physical activity can help keep you healthy and strong and can even help prevent falls.
When you think of physical activity you may think of playing sports or working out at a gym. If you don't like doing any of those things, you're probably not too excited about getting active. But being physically active doesn't have to mean playing basketball or running marathons. Walking, dancing, gardening, and even housework can contribute to your overall fitness and physical health.
Or, if you have activities you enjoyed when you were younger, such as jogging, swimming, or biking, why not pick them up again? Even if you are slower or have less stamina than when you were younger, you can still have fun and get fit at the same time. Read on to learn more about staying active.

Worth Every Penny
"These boots are adorable. I got the blue color and it is the exact same color as the picture. They are gorgeous!! The inside is so soft and they are extremely comfortable to wear. I'm normally a 7.5 but I heard these boots run big so I got a 7 and they fit perfectly! They fit snuggly around my calves, not tight nor loose. The price for them on this website is AWESOME. $85 marked down to $50... who wouldn't take that deal?! When I buy things online I always look at about 10 other websites to see if I can find cheaper, but dsw was by far the cheapest. Rainy days are now my favorite days because of these!"

Comfy, but moves oddly when I walk
"I bought the tan. I will be exchanging these at the store tomorrow for something else. The color is a little off and they bend oddly when I walk. While I'm a thin person the shape of these boots is not flattering on me and shortens my long legs. They ARE comfy, but I would like something else."

Scott: Pigs in a Trough
Submitted By Todd on October 11th at 3:32am
Scott gets populist in a fun moment from the debate as he campaigns against Washington and high taxes. His rant brings a roar from the crowd - which had been warned to keep quiet - prompting moderator & PBS TV host Jim Madigan to tease that he was losing control.
"One thing we can't do right now, in the middle of this three-and-a-half-year recession, is by taking more money out of people's hardworking pocketbooks and wallets and giving it to the federal government," Brown said. "They're like pigs at a trough up there -- they'll just take and take and take."

Guess I should have gotten the 110... I like the feel/shape of the shaft and the matte finish and the flex profile is very nuetral, flexes right in the middle so its very predictible is good for all kinds of shots.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The rugged terrain of Emery County has been chosen again as a prime spot for an endurance race. The race began on Sunday, June 25 just east of the Cleveland/Lloyd dinosaur quarry. The competitors began the race with one horse for each team of four. They could take turns riding the horse or just leading it, but the horse would accompany the team on their first leg of the journey.
The Primal Quest is a true test of human endurance, it features co-ed teams of four, racing 24 hours-a-day, for up to 10 days, across a grueling 400 plus mile course requiring trekking, orienteering, mountaineering, horseback riding, canyoneering, mountain biking, whitewater swimming, flat-water and white-water paddling. All members of a team must finish together in order to officially complete the race, and the winning team will take home the lucrative first prize of over $100,000. Additional cash prizes will be awarded for all teams finishing in the top 10 for a total cash purse of $250,000. Any team with a member who is unable to finish for any reason is disqualified. The exact details of the Primal Quest remained secret until the pre-race briefing held the day before the start of the race.
This is the fourth iteration of the Primal Quest, and in that time it has grown to be the sport's most prestigious property. The world's top teams confirm their participation in Primal Quest, and the highly competitive field was expanded from 60 to 89 teams to accommodate the great demand, consisting of every elite team on earth, including Nike/Balance Bar, Merrill/Wigwam, Spyder, Halti and Elix/Mont-Blanc. Twenty international teams will be competing, including athletes from Australia, Spain, Guatemala, JaJapan, Ireland, Denmark, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Brazil and France.
Responding to feedback regarding the amount of infrastructure used in the race, this year's race will take place in some of the most remote locations in the western United States. Although the field of teams has been expanded, this year's race will be completely supported, reducing the impact of individual team support groups. Always committed to the community and environment, the race will again partner with Leave No Trace and contribute to local organizations and causes.
In addition to providing world-class athletes with an overwhelming challenge, the Primal Quest will also provide the spectators an unprecedented way to watch the race. Web visitors will be able to interactively witness the race in real time with live GPS tracking of each team and video feeds from points around the course, at the race's award-winning web site, www.ecoprimalquest.com.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office has been along for the arduous journey as they helped at the river crossing and were there for the rope event at Three Canyon just seven miles down from Ruby Ranch.
After days of struggling to survive triple-digit temperatures and hundreds of miles of the most unimaginably harsh terrain in Northern America, the world's top endurance athletes have passed the halfway mark of Primal Quest Utah. Not all of the competitors in Primal Quest are elite athletes, though, so while the race leaders have now traversed more than 300 miles of the roughly 450-mile course, the teams at the back of the pack are just past the 150-mile mark and face days of toil.
Three-time defending champions Team Nike/PowerBlast held the lead for much of the first day, with Team Spyder in dogged pursuit. But as the days stretched into nights, followed by more days, the lead group was dominated by one team: Merrill/Wigwam Adventure. Team captain Robyn Benincasa has never won Primal Quest - the only laurel missing from her nearly-unmatched race resume. In fact, she withdrew from Primal Quest Telluride due to a pre-race injury and withdrew from Primal Quest Tahoe when one of her teammates fell ill. In 2004, at Primal Quest San Juan Islands, her team was unable to match the pure speed of other teams in a race truncated by the tragic death of Nigel Aylott.
But this course suits Benincasa and her teammates Jeff Mitchell, Ian Edmond and Neil Jones. She likes being surrounded by well-seasoned Kiwis. They thrive on a race of epic proportions. They excel in applying strategic decisions to the critical elements of the race: how much water to carry; when to sleep; what to eat and how to travel. The accumulation of decades of experience has brought Merrill to the front of the pack - by a margin of one hour and 19 minutes. That passes for a big lead in what has been the most competitive Primal Quest to date. In their 300 miles of travel, the teams have completed a 29-mile horseback ride; a 23-mile desert trek; a 65-mile mountain bike; an 8-mile river swim; a 35-mile kayak leg; a 26-mile canyoneering leg; a 45-mile kayak leg and a 29-mile canyoneering leg. These pale statistics give lie to the difficulty inherent in finishing Primal Quest. The competitors have traversed burning sand, launched off precipitous rappels, fallen asleep while paddling and survived on paltry stores of food, water, and sleep. This is, simply, the world's toughest endurance challenge, and sometime in the next two days, it will crown a winner.
Log on to www.ecoprimalquest.com for the race to the finish, and watch for the television broadcast in the fall on ABC and ESPN2.
At the five day, five hour, and 12 minute, 45 second point in the race the Nike Power Blast Team was in first place and had reached checkpoint 37 with 37-40 yet to go and the race finish.
The final leg of the race will be coming down the Colorado River and ending up at the Red Cliffs Lodge approximately 10 miles from the town of Moab.

A zero drop shoe with a bit of protection from the ground, the Mizuno Wave Cursoris offers minimal cushioning and a firm ride.
Zero offset design meets protection from the hard ground in the Mizuno Wave Evo Cursoris. Optimized for the midfoot striker, this shoe features forefoot Wave technology provides cushioning and a smooth ride, while high density outsole rubber in key areas increase durability. A wide forefoot platform delivers a stable underfoot feel and a roomy fit that allows for natural toe splay. Breathable mesh in the upper ensures lasting comfort so you can focus on the run ahead.
Model Number:
Weight: 6.8 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (18mm), Forefoot (18mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on Width D)
The Wave Evo Cursoris is a minimum featured, minimum neutral shoe designed for daily training or racing.
Comments: This is the shoe I have been hunting for, for the last 3 years! Looking for the right zero-ish drop shoe that fit my running. The Brooks Pure Connect was close, but had hot spots, and too much arch, the Pure Drift was too firm a ride, the Newton Gravity was heavy and ran too warm. The EVO Cursoris was just right! So surprised at how well this shoe has worked for me.
From: Chip, Roseville, CA, USA
Comments: Excellent shoe. Like others I went down a half size. Also like others I had some problems with the lacing. I solved it by skipping the bottom hole and a hole on the opposite side of the shoe which allowed the top of the shoe to lay flat taking the pressure off the top of my foot near my toes. The cushioning is about ideal and the stiffer, by minimalist shoe standards, ride works much better for me. I also really appreciate that the toes aren't sprung since my toes aren't sprung, either. The sole material doesn't appear to be very durable which is ok since I accept Shoe Goo as an alternative. 5'10", 185, 40 mpw, other favored shoes NB Minimus MR10, Saucony Fastwitch.
From: Dave
Comments: This might be just about the perfect shoe: 1. Low heel, i.e. totally flat, a.k.a. "zero-drop"---I've been running in 4mm drop Saucony Kinvaras and Mirages for the past year, and it amazes me what a difference taking away a mere 4mm in the heel makes! My footplant is much smoother, feels more natural, easier to put directly under my body, and easier to sustain a higher cadence. 2. Light light weight---at 7oz, it's only 1oz lighter than the Kinvara and 2oz lighter than the Mirage...but it really feels like NOTHING on my feet! In other words, my feet feel like they've just grown wings! 3. Roomy forefoot---as per the ShoeFitr calculator, I went down 1/2 a size from my usual 10 and it worked perfectly. My toes are comfortable and can splay easily as if I were barefoot or in Vibram Five Fingers! 4. Surprisingly warm---I saw and felt the meshy upper and thought to myself, ugh this is going to be a long winter. But just ran in them in 40 degree weather and my feet were perfectly warm in my UnderArmor socks. 5. Nice balance of firm/responsive cushioning not soft or squishy...the latter is how I remember the Saucony Viratta, which I had to return because it felt way too spongy. Don't know if it's Mizuno's famous "wave plate" or what, but I did feel a very nice bit of energy return with these. 6. Excellent grip/traction...turns and evasions. In my city there are tons of pedestrians and cyclists you have to watch out for, along with cars, so this is an essential safety advantage. 7. Great ground feedback, but not TOO MUCH of it...if you get sloppy and start to space out and consequently land on the wrong part of your foot, these shoes will let you know...but gently, rather than bashing you upside your head about it. 8. Quiet and smooth: another element of the ground feedback advantage...the shoes are wonderfully silent whenever the runner has relaxed and found his optimal form, and each step feels like churning butter. My only small gripe is aesthetic. Took these for a fast 7 miler right out of the box, felt great during and after. It's a cliche but true: these shoes make you both WANT to go faster, and it makes you FEEL AS IF you are really going faster! One caveat: if you do not regularly run in zero drop shoes already, go easy when you first start out in these. By the time I finished mile 6, my calves and Achilles were feeling just about wiped out. I think I will reserve these shoes mainly for speed and hill workouts at present, and go back to my Saucony Mirage for long runs. The nice thing about these shoes is that they feel great at any speed: at high speed you feel like an antelope, blowing by everyone and everything so effortlessly and gracefully, and at low speed you feel very relaxed and pleasant, as if hypnotizing yourself one step at a time.
From: Eddie, Somerville, MA
Comments: After running in Saucony Virrata....I like the forefoot cushioning of Cursoris....and most will enjoy the width of forefoot...Warning dont try sockless ...these will leave irratation at base of laces.....I went with shoefit recommendation of going down half size....but if I try the Mizuno evo Levitas I will go with size 10 instead of 9and half...I like a little extra room up front....I use size 11 in Saucony Virrata...crazy it seems but it is what works for me....comparing the evo line to Saucony Virrata zero drop...i am able to go longer in Cursoris due to having cushioning up front.Saucony Virrata is good uptempo but I do most of runs on slower pace..I use these Cursoris and trusty Altra instincts....
From: shoutscout, Northern Cali
Comments: So I ordered both the cusoris and levitas after reading a review on runblogger. I was most excited by the levitas being a huge fan of the New balance MR00. I have been running in "minimal" stuff since Nike Free V2(2006) and average between 1000-1800 miles(probably most commonly run 30-40 mpw but have done 80 or so before) a year. I was particularly excited since a pair of Wave Universe 3's were one of my favorite minimal shoes that really allowed me to perfect my midfoot striking( also ran a 28:xx 8k in them) and I still have them with over 1000 miles on them. I got the cusoris and levitas Thursday night and did a mile in each pair and was elated with my purchases (followed the half size smaller advice got 10.5s). Surprisingly I loved the cusoris the most and thought it has had the best out of box feel of any minimal shoe I have owned as well as allowing a smooth midfoot strike. Yet, there is a major catch....The next day I went out for a easy 4 mile run and the first two miles were gold but starting after mile two the threads where the mesh meets the shoelaces began seriously scrapping/sticking my feet on both sides to the point of causing me to walk and my feet to bleed on top. I was shocked since I have run sockless for over 3 years and have never had something like this (I had ankle rub on altra instincts but this was another level). So today I adorned my wife's yoga socks and did a 7 miler in the cusoris and everything was peachy so I will keep them since I still loved the feel and the socks resolved the issue(guess I will have to invest in some socks). However, I must say not being able to go sockless is a major drawback for me and I hope Mizuno will address this in an update(or do a sockless version with seamless knitting) for those of us who don't like to wear socks( I noticed runner warehouse blog mentioned the same issue). Regardless, the feel of the shoe was so good that I still think the cusoris is a great purchase...I imagine this would be an ideal intro shoe to anyone hoping to become a midfoot striker(my levitas review will be forthcoming).
From: Kevin, Nashville, TN
Comments: These have quickly become my favorite running shoes. Completed my second half marathon with them in total comfort.
From: Randy, Albuquerque, NM
Comments: I didn't know what to expect as I haven't worn Mizunos in a while. I was running in Merrell Barefoot Road Gloves and Saucony Virratas mainly, but am now running almost all my runs with these Evo's. Good balance of cushion while respecting the weight. Was a little odd at first when trying them on (don't be surprised if you don't like the initial feel), but running with them is great. No slip on wet surfaces, and grip well on tight turns, which was a nice surprise. Also really like not having any "lugs" pushing up into my forefoot like other shoes. Have nearly 100 miles on my first pair and ready to get a second pair to alternate with.
From: Ken, Chicago, IL, USA
Comments: After just 30 miles total in the Cursoris, I stated having hip pains. After examining the shoes, I found the right side shoe had rolled over (collapsed) on the medial side, rendering then unusable for running. Switched out to different shoes (Wave Universe) and the pains went away. I still use the Cursoris for walking around and they seem to be fine for that purpose. I don't regret buying these but I won't be getting any more pairs.
From: Jeff, Scottsdale, AZ
Comments: I echo Eric's comments below--probably one of the best fitting minimal offerings out there. Felt a bit odd walking in them at first but running yields a very natural foot plant. I find the forefoot very stable, responsive, and springy. I think it's a great first offering by Mizuno.
From: Darren, Colorado, USA
Comments: I found the heel fit perfect. It did not slip, unlike the Altra Instinct 1.5 with its wide heel not "cupping" properly the region of my Achilles tendon. The shoe has remarkable cushioning for its light weight (7.5 oz - 212 g, size USA 10.5) which would tend to suggest otherwise. I guess the Mizuno Wave worked one more time for me. I use this shoe for races and I hope Mizuno will produce a trainer version weighing some 8 to 9 oz at size USA 9 for men.
From: Eric Clarke, Ivy, St. Michael, Barbados
Comments: Not for me. First, this shoe runs big, by at least one half size based on a typical Mizuno fit. This is most likely due to the larger toebox, and the mesh on the upper. I was a tester for Mizuno, logging more than 600 miles in my pair of evos, and I can tell you...I won't be running another mile in them. I am a big believer in Mizuno, but I think they've strayed from their core too far with this kick. I will stick to my trusted Musha's for now. For what it's worth...
From: Brooks, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Comments: I just ran a rugged 50 mile trail race in these shoes. They are light and responsive with good protection. I love the room in the toe box. Granted, I beat the heck out of them but the mountain didn't beat me up. If they had a rock stop and a little more traction on the heel they would be perfect for a trail 100 miler. These shoes are especially awesome on the road.
From: Dan, Los Gatos, CA, USA
Comments: Just got these shoes and threw in a bullet 8 miler and they felt awesome. Lots of room in the toes (I typically wear 4E and yet there was enough room in these shoes for my large forefoot). These shoes are super light. Lighter than my Nike LunaRacers (I have a scale). Very flexible. The best thing I liked was they seem to rebound well off the foot strike and while some could interpret that as bouncy, I like that feeling. Cushioning is ok, I used an old Dr. Scholls pad which I always do anyway and that combo provided plenty of cush. Just moved my Nike Montreal's to a backup role for Boston in 10 weeks. Mizuno Cursoris moved to the front of the Boston line. Uppers are really comfy and airy but won't be good in the rain!
From: Ken, Prescott, AZ, USA
Comments: I love these shoes. They are well-ventilated with plenty of room in the toe box. There is plenty of protection to allow me to go on longer runs without all the extra weight. Definite must buy.
From: Tim, Birmingham, AL, USA
Comments: Best runnning shoes I have worn! Mizuno hit the mark with these for minimalist/barefoot design. I could go on and on, buy a pair, AWESOME!!!
From: Michael, New Orleans, LA USA

Man I really can´t wait for the next ep! This is going to be amazing! And I really start to think that there aren´t any filler coming up soon.
As for the opening: Well the video is good, but I liked the music from the last better.
the opening is just a very big spoiler, don't like the song. Best opening song was Crazy Rainbow.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
Kinda Like the new opening.
Any one know the name of the song?
Best Song = We Are FTW
~My DeviantArt Account|My Mangashare Gallery~
Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
Opening theme was awesome. i think its my favorite, I jsut love the beat. Also this show is getting mroe exciting cant wait. The thriller bark was a little slow and annoying tell the tyrant came now its picking up again.
We Are is definately the best opening song of One Piece.
2nd is Brand New World - Simply amazing.
3rd is Jungle P - Amazing beatzz

Last week I wrote about eBay's potential response to Google's changes to feed policy which will go into effect December 1st 2009.
It is difficult to gauge how much of the current search dysfunction and drop in sales is caused by eBay as opposed to impending actions by Google. I am inclined to discount Google's contribution at the moment for the following reasons.
In August I wrote "Historically traffic has taken months to recover from Best Match changes." Barely three weeks after roll out of the Top Rated Seller project and simultaneous debut of Best Match II I believe we are seeing the initial results of the churn (def.#7). It is too early for the Google changes to be directly affecting eBay traffic.
Best Match II
eBay is flying by the seat of their pants on the Best Match algorithm, their mathematical genius and owner of the patent, Raghav Gupta (I am not being snarky, he is a genius) quit. It is very probable that continued tinkering with the selection process at the behest of eBay executive directives is having unintended consequences. Think GIGO.
Affiliate Program
eBay affiliate driven traffic is decreasing as affiliates are undergoing their own churn. Just as with sellers, who are being forced to evaluate the profitability and viability of continuing to do business on eBay, affiliates have seen massive "take it or leave it" changes to the payment schedule and structure. Changes which have lowered income for many affiliates, while purportedly increasing efficiency and value for eBay, have encouraged them to move on. Same song, different verse.
I am not in any way qualified to analyze anything about affiliate business but it stands to reason that less affiliate driven traffic will result in less sales for vendors of product which appeals to affiliate marketers.
Google Feeds
eBay is still uploading feeds.
A quick look at the format of the feeds will show that eBay's goal with Google feeds is to bring traffic to eBay, any traffic. Not to bring a qualified and motivated buyer to the specific product they are seeking but to get them on the site and into the eBay finding experience.
It would not surprise me to learn that to some extent the pending changes to Google Shopping are driven by searchers dissatisfaction at being funneled to eBay regardless of what they are looking for.
Remember those ridiculous advertisements saying "Find ______ (insert word of choice) on eBay"? eBay's feeds are a variation on that theme using organic search rather than pay per click advertising.
Advertising, Discounts and Coupons
eBay has chosen to embrace coupons instead of paid advertising for the last few years. Coupons work to a certain extent but in the eBay bucks format they are unlikely to bring any meaningful new user traffic to the venue for a variety of reasons. For the existing casual or occasional eBay user:
- Low priced items only gain the buyer a cent or two per purchase
- search is so difficult that the size of discount offered is no incentive to bother
- the program is complicated, and
- eBay bucks expire before any meaningful benefit can be gained by the occasional buyer.
Even buyers who are internet savvy had problems getting their money from the Microsoft cash back program last year, the promotion was so complex that (in my view) it generated negative attitude and distrust, which is lingering.
I think that the drop in sales is a direct result of the notorious eBay tendency to see the results they want to see in the data. If you believe that the majority of eBay sales come from on site traffic why would you have any incentive to improve outside traffic to items listed on the site? It is a self perpetuating problem.
eBay sellers I respect tell me that only a small percentage of their sales come from off eBay sources. This makes sense if the site is not promoting traffic inflow but relying on the user base and their own deeply flawed and manipulated search. I also think the sales slump is not site wide.
What do you think?
A blog post at Series Books for Girls talks about the recent drop in sell-through rates for eBay booksellers in her niche. Meanwhile I am off to buy myself a bird watcher on eBay, just kidding.
Y'all come back!
Full disclosure: I am an ex-eBay seller currently selling on my own website and Bonanzle.com
