Comments: Like others posting for various NB shoes, I have noticed a decrease in the quality of the shoes.
Unfortunately, this pair is no exception. Standing in them, they feel cushy. In fact, they feel soft all the way around. If you
like a tall and firm heel cup, like the Babolat SFX or the Prince T22, you will dislike the feel -- which is floppy. The mesh
definitely makes the short (in height) toe box tolerable, because the mesh gives. In fact, it gives too much. The support in
these shoes is minimal in physical tennis matches. The mesh allows the foot to move too much in the shoe, as it stretches
when you are jamming on the brakes/changing direction. The insole support is minimal -- yet cushy. I use orthotics on top
of the insoles. All in all, there is just too little support to have me believe I can play in these very long. It is a mushy shoe
that is fine for minimally athletic activities. Not tennis.
From: Mike, 11/15
Comments: I am buying my 3rd pair now. They are super cushioned and comfortable. But they don't seem to
too long.
From: Larry, 2/15
Comments: Chaz's comment below is right on! I also must wear orthodics, and have a wide foot, and the 2E
version fits me perfectly, even without removing the insole. I made the mistake of ordering the MC996 version, as it was on
plus had a better review, and what a mistake that was. Even without my orthodic in, they were far too narrow, even though
were a 2E width also. Placing them side by side with the 1005, you could see the noticeable difference in the width.
more expensive, I am sticking to the 1005 model.
From: Dave, 12/14
Comments: Have to agree the quality and life expectancy is no longer there. I also use an insert and loved the
shoes. Used to get 6 months to a year on a pair of cross trainers. Now I am lucky if I get 3 to 4 months before the support
out. Sorry to say will no longer buy NB.
From: Paul, 10/14
Comments: One thing the reviewers don't tell you is that these shoes are probably the best on the market for
with orthotics. Due to the depth and relatively flat base of the shoe. I put my orthotics in these and they performed very
well. So
if you use orthotics you should try on a pair of these with your orthotics in place of the stock inserts.
From: Chaz, 2/14
Comments: In agreement with many here. Bought the 1005 last year and the left heel inside the shoe is just
gone after 6 months of light to moderate use (and the problem started happening within a couple of months). Horrible! I
moved to
the 1005 after faithfully using the 800 series for years. I started with the 801 and while nothing was as drastic as the
problem with
the 1005, I've noticed decreasing quality over the years. It's sad to say, but New Balance tennis shoes just don't seem to
be of the
same quality anymore. After 10+ years, it's time to shop another brand.
From: Scott, 4/13
Comments: I agree with Koff 9/12. I have been wearing the New Balance 1002-1004 (probably 4-8 pairs a year)
the past 6 years or more. The 1005 are terrible! I have worn through the heal on 3 pairs without wearing through the holes!
What has New Balance done? What a waste. I do not know what I will have to switch to. I am so disappointed!
From: Greg, 3/13
Comments: I am a fan of NB sneakers as I have a narrow heel and wide toes, so the fit on tennis shoes is a
challenge often for me. I was a huge fan of the 782's, having bought a couple pairs, went to a couple other brands before I
back to NB and the 1005's. The fit was awesome, but they are not lightweight (I was coming off the Asics Speedplay
and 2 pairs of the Roddick Babolats.) I will say the wear is quite good, as I am a toe dragger and after 4-5 months I qualify
for the
6 month guarantee. At 7 months, these are now worn through, but I give them high marks. However, I must agree with the
reviewer, Steve, as I have had some ankle issues with these. I think it maybe a combo of too much grip and a narrower heel
I am going to try the lower to the ground 996's, which are also a bit easier on the eyes.
From: Anon, 2/13
Comments: The 1005 is useless for me. I loved earlier generations of this shoe (the 1002 particularly), but both
1004 and 1005 reduced the protection on the toe box so that the outside edge of the toe is now just covered by leather or
nylon. I
drag and pivot on my toe when I serve, and can grind through the material they currently use in just a week or two. So to
$0.05 cents of rubber, they ruined a $100 shoe.
From: Peter, 2/13
Comments: I have tried all different kinds of shoes, from the Barricade, Rebel, KSwiss, Vapor, etc. Trust me,
are all time best shoes I've ever worn. Comfort and mobility are its key aspects, and there's no break-in required.
From: Anon, 12/12
Comments: I thought I had found my perfect shoe - a running shoe designed to play tennis in. I ordered my
right before the TW review. Since the 1002s had been one of my all time favorite shoes I wasn't too worried about the tepid
review. However, I mostly agree with the review. I don't have many complaints about the upper, although it could use more
in the midfoot for better support - like the 1002s. My complaint is with the cushioning. Review guys, the lack of cushioning
complained about is due to the Acteva Ultra Light EVA, a soft, squishy foam used primarily for weight reduction. Four or
five years
ago this same type foam plaqued the running shoe industry. You would go for a run in a new pair of shoes and find your
sinking toward the ground on every stride. The irony is I chose these over the Nike Vapor 9's because I wasn't sure the
Vapors had
enough cushioning for my high arched feet. New Balance, use higher quality EVA, add more leather to the upper for
support and
bring back the navy color and you'll have the perfect shoe.
From: Anon, 11/12
Comments: Tried the 1187's, and had to return them. Then I tried the 1005's and I was once again very
disappointed. I have been using the 1001 and up series for years.
From: Bruce, 9/12
Comments: Not a good quality shoe. I have been a New Balance user for many years. I ordered a pair of the
1005 in
mid February 2012 and in 6 months, the left and right shoe show considerable wear in the heel area. So much so that I will
have to
replace this tennis shoe while the sole is still fine. I have never experienced such wear in the many years that I have been a
Balance user. I read somewhere that the 1005 is now being made in China. I don't recall where the previous models were
but the quality of this 1005 shoe is NOT up to par with previous models. Looking at other options (i.e. brands) now.
From: Koff, 9/12
Comments: I've worn through several pairs of 1004's and decided to try this one. BIG MISTAKE. There's
absolutely no support in mid-foot area which was causing severe knee pain.
From: Gene, 6/12
Comments: Just got these shoes yesterday - they are incredibly light. I normally wear Prince T22s. The
toebox is a little smaller which has forced me to wear thinner socks this makes the heel a little more loose. Very
comfortable. I may stick to my T22's though. I think the T22 are more stable and more heavy than these may practice
in the T22's and play in these. if you have flat feet this would not be a good shoe for you.
From: Jim, 5/12
Comments: These are excellent shoes that stand apart from all others. They are very breathable and
lightweight. The support is excellent and the sole very durable. It is rare to find a shoe that you can customize so
easily. These are perfect for players with wider feet or who use orthotics. Rollover has not been an issue for me at all. In
fact, I have experienced just the opposite. I feel stable and more sure footed when I wear these. Most shoes are built
like an suit of armor and feel like lead. The majority will rub against the side of the foot or cause blisters after heavy
use. I have endured pain and discomfort from countless tennis shoes and had almost given up on finding a pair that
worked for me. I was very fortunate to find these shoes. If your looking for a shoe that doesn't let your foot breathe
or one that encases your foot in a vise then look elsewhere. These
shoes are for players who want something light, comfortable and durable.
From: Dan, 5/12
Comments: I have been wearing the NB 1004 for over a year now (several pairs) and I love them. Now
that they are discontinued I am searching for a new shoe. I tried these on and was very disappointed. The quality of
the shoe is not even close to the 1004's and with very little support. I do not recommend this shoe.
From: Brandon, 5/12
Comments: I have typically played in Wilson and Nike shoes. This time around I decided to look at a few
brands. I looked at Nike, Wilson, Asics, and Babolat. For me this shoe was noticeably more comfortable from the start.
The sole
of the shoe is grippy on the court, feels fast, and performs well. No real break in required. In my opinion the highlight
of the shoe
is the cushioning system. Sometimes after playing a competitive 3 setter my knees will be a little sore the next day.
This shoe
has make a noticeable difference in how I feel the day after a tough match. I am 6'3" 210 lbs and I have never felt like
the shoe
was going to role on me. This has definitely been the best tennis shoe I have ever owned and I am glad I made the
Don't be afraid to rock the black and silver with black socks.
From: Jeff, 4/12
Comments: Rollover? I just don't see it. I love these shoes and have played 10+ hours wearing them.
They are
better than the 1004's and a good stable shoe.
From: JDP, 3/12
Comments: I'm sorry to report these new 1005s are a rollover waiting to happen! I'm a former big fan of
Asics Gel
Resolution (the first 2 generations), and to an extent Prince T-22s and various K Swiss. I found the NB 1187s when
they first came
out and really liked them. I've had 4 pair in the last year or so. They had good cushioning, stability, reasonable
durability (+ 1 yr
warranty), looks, etc. Wanting a change of pace, and having a favorable impression of New Balance, I decided to try
these 1005s.
What I liked about them was the lighter weight, lots of ventilation/mesh and good cushioning. I hit in them yesterday
with no
problem, but played the first match today. Twice, I felt my foot/ankle start to roll on hard cuts and direction changes. I
hadn't had
that happen in many years with other shoes. When I got home I compared them to the 1187s. The upshot that seems
to make the
1005 more prone to rolling looks to be: 1.) Despite lateral stabilizing straps and a flared sole, the combination of mesh
flexible) and minimal midsole wrap-around on the outside extending to the upper make it less stable 2.) The heel area
also has
about 1/4" less base, meaning less lateral support, and 3.) The outside sole edge is really sharp, meaning if you get
weight and
torque sideways on it, once past that edge, it's a sudden side jolt. So as much as I would like to endorse this shoe, I
can't. For a
performance tennis shoe, it just isn't laterally supportive enough. Back to the 1187's.
From: Steve, 2/12

Crusty's Wedding
RAY: This puzzler is about Crusty's wedding. He's been married five times and this has to do with his most recent nuptials.
On the occasion of his most recent wedding, he had to take a long trip to meet his bride-to-be. It was quite a distance away to Unadilla, NY. So, he took his most reliable car, his '65 Falcon, and makes his way through Massachusetts onto Route 7 in New York.
He's cruising along when all of a sudden, the car backfires and dies, and he coasts to the side of the road. He realizes immediately that his points have burnt out. Luckily in his glove box is a brand-new set of ignition points.
As luck would have it, his entire tool kit is in the glove box which consists of a screwdriver, a hammer and a jackknife. So, he opens the hood and takes off the distributor cap and proceeds to remove the little screw that holds the points in. He deftly removes the screw, installs the new points...and drops the screw. Where does it go? Where it always goes! Inside the distributor!
And he can't get it out. He can see it. He can even touch it with his screwdriver, but he can't get it out. He runs to the trunk, and he finds in there the kind of stuff you usually find in the trunk.
A jack, a salami sandwich, a junky old lamp, a gallon of Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil, and a 50-pound bag of dog food.
Using one or a combination of these things, he manages to extricate the screw from its hiding place inside the distributor within a matter of minutes. And he does not tip the car over on its roof. How does he do it?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Useful Tips on Oracle GoldenGate 12c Installation, Instantiation, and Setup
By Irem Radzik-Oracle on Mar 25, 2014
Written by Nick Wagner, Director of Product Management, Oracle Database High Availability
This is the first of 3 blog posts that I'm writing that will cover some of the questions I get from customers doing a first time implementation of Oracle GoldenGate. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, so I'm going to reference a number of different My Oracle Support notes that go into more depth about a particular subject or process.
This first post will be about getting the environment set up and installation of Oracle GoldenGate. Also, for simplicity, this will assume a like to like replication environment as well as one-way replication. Future blogs will cover bi-directional replication and environments where the source and target objects have different structures.
Installation should be done on direct attached storage unless you are installing Oracle GoldenGate in a cluster or for failover, in that case the use of a dedicated NAS or SAN device is fine. Oracle GoldenGate is a quickly evolving product and we have a standard release and patching process. For example, in Oracle GoldenGate 11.2 and 12.1, it's typically a 3 week patching cycle. So, always use the most recent version of Oracle GoldenGate so you have the most recent stable release. If you are using Oracle GoldenGate 11.2.1, you can just download the most recent release from My Oracle Support. If you are using Oracle GoldenGate 12.1.2, then you should download the installation from OTN or edelivery.oracle.com, and then download and upgrade to the most recent version from My Oracle Support and use Opatch to patch it to the latest release.
There are numerous articles on Oracle GoldenGate instantiation, the two most common are mentioned below. Essentially, if you can do an Oracle hot backup that's the easiest way to establish the target database. If that's not possible, look at Oracle export/import or data pump, and if that can't be used, you can use GoldenGate's own instantiation. In a situation where you are going to be doing transformation in the Delivery process (Replicat), then GoldenGate's own instantation, while being the slowest, is probably the best choice, as any transformation done in the Delivery can be applied during the initial load as well. It saves you from having to load the data, then transform it.
For like to like, the first is Oracle GoldenGate Best Practices: Instantiation from an Oracle Source Database [Article ID 1276058.1] this document is very comprehensive and covers Oracle to Oracle as well as heterogeneous options. And the other document: Oracle GoldenGate: Initial Load Techniques and References (Doc ID 1311707.1) can be used as well and has a few examples and would be ideal for targets where transformation is going to be used.
Initial Setup
The initial setup of the production database can be quite involved. However, the most important aspect is ensuring that the source database has the correct supplemental logging enabled. In the case where all (or a majority) of the tables are being replicated, it's easier to configure supplemental logging at the schema level instead of the table level. Using the GGSCI command ADD SCHEMATRANDATA ensures that as the application changes, and new tables are added or keys changed on a table the underlying supplementally logged columns still adhere to those required by Oracle GoldenGate.
If there are tables without primary keys I would recommend that you review this article Supplemental logging – How to Handle Tables Without Primary Keys or Unique Indexes With Oracle GoldenGate [Article ID 1271578.1] that covers the way Oracle GoldenGate handles these types of tables and why it's important to handle them correctly. If tables without keys aren't managed properly, you could get anything from poor performance all the way to data corruption. The default way, may not always be the best way of handling these objects. Especially if there is a unique column that just doesn't have a unique constraint on it.
Another simple way to reduce maintenance on Oracle GoldenGate is wildcarding. For example, if you have Capture processes (also called Extract) running as a pump and pulling data from a Trail File, and all the data in the Trail File should be sent to the target, then use TABLE *.*; and that will instruct Capture to send all the data that it reads. That way, if a table is added to the Capture reading from the redo logs, you won't need to make any changes to the Capture running as a pump is necessary. This same concept can even be used in the Delivery, where ASSUMETARGETDEFS is valid. Just use MAP *.*, TARGET *.*; and any table added to the Capture reading from the transaction logs will be sent all the way down to the target.
And that brings the first blog post to a close. I'll be happy to answer any questions…

Comments: I love these shoes! I have been an avid Asics 2160 fan -- went through 4 pair. These are the closest I have found to replacing them. I love them for Zumba fitness too -- light, flexible, providing cushion with support (I pronate AND have arthritis in my feet.) I tried the Kayano's first, but they allowed my foot to move around too much within the shoe. Most importantly, I would like to say I am new and loyal Running Warehouse fan! When calling, someone in customers service is always helpful and informative. While struggling to discover a replacement shoe for my old 2160's, Running Warehouse was patient with my order/return/exchange on two occasions. This will be my new go-to shoe shopping site -- and I am encouraging my other Zumba fitness participants to shop here too!
From: Pam, Kansas
Comments: I love this shoe with its narrow heel and wider toe box. I have narrow heels and have a hard time finding any shoe that fits as well as this one. I needed no break-in period - these were super comfy from the first mile...no blisters or hot spots and they provide excellent support for my pronation. I'll be buying these again to stock up in case the model changes next year.
From: Rhonda, Juneau, AK
Comments: I feel the 2000 is softer, lighter, but the heel is breaking down and wearing out much faster after about 4 weeks. Over all not as durable.
From: Carol, Bowling Green, Ohio, USA
Comments: I like these shoes very much. I went up 1/2 size from my "street shoes" size and this worked beautifully. They are not too heavy, however, they provide good cushioning and didn't aggravate my shin splints. Break in period was very brief which is also a plus.
From: Nyree, Denver, CO
Comments: I love these running shoes. I'm an asics snob anyway but I am very picky on my shoes. I like a little bit of cusion; not too little like Nike Frees and too much like Nike Pegasus. I run a minimum of 6-10 daily. I have not had a problem with the GT-2000s. Even breaking them in was super easy. My mileage is already up and I am buying the exact same pair again :)
From: Megg, Leavensworth, KS, USA
Comments: Nice looking shoes. But just did not work for me. I run 20-30 miles/week. After running 12 miles in them, i started experiencing pain after mile 3. I could not walk the next day due to plantar pain in both feet. My feet hurt during/after each run in them. Had to return them and get neutral shoes.
From: Maryam, Livermore, CA, USA
Comments: Love this shoe! Found it to be the most comfortable ever since the moment I put it on. I am so glad I found these; I wear them to work daily. I don't think I can go back to regular shoes now. Don't hesitate, give them a try :)
From: Molly, Philadelphia, PA
Comments: I have loved ASICS (2150 & 2170) but the toe box in the newly designed 2000 is much smaller and tighter than the 2170. I wear a narrow shoe so I have limited shoe options. The 2000 AA is too narrow and the medium is too wide. Hopefully ASICS will go back to the original toe box.
From: Kathy, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Comments: Nice shoe but the toe box is much smaller than the 2170, I ended up having to go a half size up. Hopefully the larger size will work.
From: Shellyann, Frisco, TX

This Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 review will compare the new Kindle 4 (the $79 new Kindle) against the Kindle 3.
This post does not cover the Kindle Touch – please read my Kindle Touch Review for that.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 – Top 7 Initial Thoughts
Have the new Kindle 4 and Kindle 3 side by side and the first things that are apparent are:
- The $79 price of the Kindle 4 is amazing ($79 for the version with Ads included). Kindle 4, apart from the keyboard and speakers, is very similar to Kindle 3 and delivers a similarly great reading experience. Getting that for $79 is a steal.
- You can now get the Kindle 3 for $99 (with Ads included). Kindle Touch is also $99. These are both great prices and, in my opinion, much better value for money than the Kindle 4.
- Lack of a keyboard, when coupled with lack of a touchscreen, makes some things painful on Kindle 4. Typing notes longer than a few words is out of the question and even things like searching for a book become difficult.
- Lack of speakers means Kindle 4 gets neither text to speech nor background music. Neither is a necessary feature – but they are both nice things to have.
- There is no 3G model for the Kindle 4. That might be an issue for you.
- Kindle 4 takes a lot of inspiration from Nook Touch. We see it in things like the black border around the screen and the new Page Turn mechanism where the screen is flashed only on every 6th page turn. It's good to see Kindle and Nook incorporate each other's best features and push eReaders forward.
- Kindle 4 is actually more like Kindle 3.25 (+.5 due to some improvements but a -.25 due to no keyboard or touch screen). Kindle Touch does seem like a Kindle 3.5 (perhaps even a Kindle 3.75 if Amazon can squeeze in more features by November 21st).
At this stage in this Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 review, my gut feeling is – Kindle Touch is the best choice overall, Kindle 3 is the best choice if you must have a keyboard, and there really is no reason to ever get the $79 Kindle 4.
There's also the wild card i.e. Nook Touch is already available and is better than Kindle 3 and Kindle 4. Of course, it's better only if you don't mind stepping away from the comfortable Amazon ecosystem.
Let's dig deeper into Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 and see what we come up with. References to Kindle Touch are included throughout since it is probably the best Kindle for you – even if you start off thinking Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 you are likely to decide on Kindle Touch.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 – Areas the new Kindle wins
The new Kindle does do some things well –
- The screen seems to be a bit better. However, it is not a big jump like the jump from Kindle 2 (normal eInk) to Kindle 3 (eInk Pearl). Note: I'm taking lots of Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 photos and will put them up in another post.
- The lightness and compactness are cool. It's noticeably light at just 6 ounces whereas Kindle 3 is 8.5 ounces. It's also 18% smaller in size. Kindle 4 is 6.5″ by 4.5″ by 0.34″ while Kindle 3 is 7.5″ by 4.8″ by 0.34″.
- The Nook inspired features are valuable – The black border around the screen makes the background seem whiter plus it probably is a bit whiter to begin with. The screen flashing every 6 turns (instead of every single time) is a big improvement.
That list ends quickly because the underlying software is almost identical. If you look at things like Settings Pages, Book Menus, Options – they are the same across Kindle 4 and Kindle 3. If the hardware changes are 3.0 to 3.25 then the software changes are 3.0 to 3.0.5. Amazon is calling it 4.0 but the software is the same for all practical purposes.
The shortness of the above list is a big indictment of the $79 Kindle 4. For comparison, Kindle 3 improved on Kindle 2 in 12 to 15 different areas and had lots and lots of software improvements and changes.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 – Areas the Kindle 3 wins
Kindle 3 holds its own due to the following reasons –
- The eInk Pearl screen is stellar and Kindle 4 and Kindle 3 both have it. If you consider reading the main use of the Kindle (apart from time travel) then the screen readability becomes critical and Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 is almost a tie in readability (to the best of my perception).
- The Keyboard. Try to search a book for appearances of 'Mr. Darcy' and the Kindle 4's one button keyboard will remind you of some of Mr. Darcy's traits. It's very proper and there are things like accented characters – and at the same time using it with a 5-way is a sweet type of torture. Note: The $79 Kindle 4 has no Touch. It's quite possible that Kindle Touch makes up for the lack of the keyboard in a far more elegant manner.
- The cost-cutting in the $79 Kindle 4. This is apparent from the 50% lower battery life, the 50% lower memory, and the lack of speakers. The 50% lower memory translates into only 1.2 GB of available memory (as opposed to 3.3 GB on the Kindle 3). Losing all of that just to save $20 is the type of short-sighted thinking that would qualify you to work at Goldman Sachs.
- If you like the feel of something somewhat solid in your hand, you'll prefer the Kindle 3. The Kindle 4 suffers from the same ailment the Sony Reader Pocket Edition does – it's so light it's discomfiting. Kindle 4 looks better but it just doesn't feel very good. Note: Kudos to Amazon for making a 6″ screen device so small – Not sure it thought about how customers would feel when holding it in their hands.
- Kindle 3 wins on button placement and feel. You might find it annoying/awkward that the Kindle 4's 5-way placed at the bottom-center of the device. If you're right-handed, then you will probably prefer the Kindle 3's 5-way placement (it was at the bottom-right of the screen and felt very natural). Kindle 4 also has strange page turn buttons – even less area to hit than the kindle 3. The page turn buttons are literally as thin as the border of the bezel. The power on switch is better on the Kindle 4 but it doesn't make up for the other two things.
To be quite frank, the Kindle 4 is dropping down in desirability far faster than I would have guessed. The sacrifices made to get it to $79 are not good ones and the usability was sacrificed to accommodate for compactness and a slightly prettier design.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 – The Elephants in the room
Look closely at Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 and three things jump out –
- Kindle Touch is the natural choice. Kindle 4 is just Kindle 3.25 and makes too many sacrifices to save $20. It's incredible value for money and good – it's also not competitive (at all) when compared with either Kindle 3 or Kindle Touch.
- Nook Touch is a better choice than both Kindle 4 and Kindle 3 – provided you don't mind leaving Amazon's ecosystem, and that you won't miss the physical keyboard. If you look at the direction Amazon is moving in – touch screen, only 1 flash per 6 page turns, black border around the screen, more compact design – it seems that it's endorsing Nook Touch and Kobo Touch.
- It almost seems as if Amazon released Kindle 4 to make Kindle 3 and Kindle Touch look better. It's perhaps retail strategy – have a lower priced model that loses badly to the higher priced model; then sell tons of the higher end model. Amazon has played it to perfection.
It's strange to see Amazon follow Nook Color with Kindle Fire and Nook Touch with Kindle Touch. All the innovation seems to be limited to the Cloud and the Store. When it comes to hardware, Amazon seems to be willing to let others experiment and take the big risks. Not a bad strategy – especially when we consider that Amazon's expertise doesn't lie in hardware. Come to think of it, Amazon did the same thing with the Kindle – It let Sony take the first steps and stumble around.
Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3 – Final Recommendation
The Kindle Touch would be my recommendation. Amusing, considering we are comparing the Kindle 4 and Kindle 3.
Kindle 3 would be my recommendation if you'd like a physical keyboard and a more friendly feel with better page turn buttons and an easier-to-access 5-way.
There's also one important qualifier – The Kindle Touch will compete with the Nook Touch, and possibly with Nook Touch 2. If you love the Amazon ecosystem, then Kindle Touch is the clear choice. However, if you are willing to switch and/or want to be extra safe, then you really should wait until Nook Touch 2 is announced. Kindle Touch vs Nook Touch 2 might be a far more competitive contest than Kindle 4 vs Kindle 3.

Parks Canada
Home > National Parks of Canada > Jasper National Park > Natural Wonders & Cultural Treasures > Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration
How did the fish cross the road? It's a question few people consider as they drive through our national parks. However, this is one the most pressing concerns for the Parks Canada staff who manage aquatic ecosystems in Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, Glacier, Mount Revelstoke & Waterton Lakes national parks.
In 2005/6, biologists assessed 600 culverts that cross under main roads and connect potential fish habitat in the seven mountain national parks. The results were startling. More than two thirds of these culverts could be fully or partially blocking fish movement.
View this information as a PDF document (1.2 MB)

Repairing culverts involves fixing barriers that are not always obvious to the casual observer:
Sticks and stones can break their homes
Branches or rocks can block culverts, stopping fish from reaching important parts of their habitat.
Most fish are sprinters
Long stretches of fast moving water and no resting places within the culvert can tire some species long before they reach quieter water on the other side.
Would you want to swim in a washing machine?
That's what fast moving water forced through a narrow culvert would feel like to a fish and they don't like it any more than we would.
Whitefish don't jump...nor do many other types of fish
"Hanging" culverts create artificial waterfalls that many fish are unable to swim up.
Who wants to be a fish out of water?
During dry periods, an overly wide culvert may spread water into a thin layer that is too shallow for fish to swim through.
Water, water everywhere...but not a drop in here
In extreme cases, water may run around the culvert instead of into it, making the route impassable for fish.
Repairs are underway. The four year Restoring and Reconnecting Our Waters Action on the Ground project aims to complete detailed plans for the top 20 culvert restoration priorities in the seven mountain national parks, and to repair at least 10 of them.

The rocks also provide resting places for fish as they swim upstream (right) A sign marks the recently completed Talbot Lake culvert restoration project in Jasper National Park.

Fish need to move
Fish travel along waterways to find food, mates, good spawning gravel, and safe places for their young to grow. A poorly functioning culvert can stop fish from reaching key parts of their habitat, resulting in lower numbers of fish, fewer species and less genetic diversity to keep populations healthy.
Life in the water and life on land are interconnected From ducks to dippers, many birds travel these watery corridors to feed on fish and aquatic insects, and to avoid land-based predators. Mink wander stream banks in search of fish. Water shrews make forays from shore to dine on fish eggs and insects. The effects of poorly functioning culverts extend beyond the water's edge.
These ecosystems need our help
Fish face many other challenges. Non-native fish introduced in the early years of national parks compete with native species. Human activities in the backcountry and high visitor use areas can impact water quality. Chemicals carried on the wind, often from countries far away, add toxins to park lakes and rivers. Fixing problem culverts improves the health of local fish populations and makes them more resilient.
Healthy Ecosystems "R" Us
Parks Canada is a world leader in conservation. The first priority for national parks is to restore and maintain healthy ecosystems for the benefit of Canadians now and into the future.

If you've never heard of this game before then shame on you.
So who else has picked up this classic at a steal on XBL or PSN?
I'm quite enjoying it at the moment. Current team is Jill, Cammy and my third is undecided. Probably Felicia though.
Anyone have fond memories burning though quarters at the arcade like I do? What's your team?

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery Spartans have now won six straight games as they won two close ones at home last week. On Thursday the Hurricane Tigers came to town with only a single loss before the Emery Spartans sent them packing with a 78-75 win. Pine View came to the Spartan Center on Friday night and Emery sent them on their way with a 58-57 loss.
Emery won the two games differently. Against Hurricane, they played from behind the whole night before finally taking a lead in the last three minutes of the game and securing the win. Against Pine View, Emery took a first quarter lead, lead through the second and third quarters and then withstood a Panther comeback to grab another victory.
On Thursday, Emery and Hurricane both scored 19 points in the opening quarter. Dave Justice scored 8 points to lead the Spartans while Darrin Winn added 6 points. Vic Rosen scored a single basket and Josh Eden hit a 3-pointer for the rest of the scoring in that first period. Both teams in the period played more offense than defense.
The next two periods saw the Tigers take the lead, as they couldn't seem to miss much on the offensive end. At the end of the third period, Hurricane led 62-51 and it seemed that Emery was going down to defeat. It just looked like one of those days when everything was going right for your opponent and you might as well call it a day. But Emery failed to get the message and staged a great final period comeback.
Emery scored the first 6 points of the quarter to get within five and then continued to tear up the Tiger defense while shutting down the Tiger offense. Emery went on a 16-3 run to take the lead with less than three minutes to go in the game. The score was 67-65 before Hurricane hit a three-point shot to regrab the lead. Hurricane missed free throws to start the period to aid the Spartans in their quest for the lead.
Emery was then down 68-70 before Emery grabbed the lead at 74-72 with 46 seconds left. Emery made free throws and held the Tigers to a single basket in the last minute to secure the victory.
Justice and Winn each scored 9 points in the final period to lead the Spartans to the win. Winn finished the game with 25 points, 10 rebounds and a block. Justice finished the game also with 25 points and also had 11 assists.
Rosen finished with 6 points and 10 rebounds, Eden had 8 points, Dempsey Jeffs had 5 points and Kyler Edgehouse had 9 points in his play off the bench. Emery had 10 steals in the game and 16 turnovers.
Against the Panthers, Emery led 17-14 after the first quarter, 33-22 at the half and 44-37 at the end of the third quarter.
Justice and Winn again led the team in scoring as Dave had 16 points and Darrin had 15 points. Jeffs hit three 3-pointers on his way to 11 points, Edgehouse scored 7 points, Eden scored 5 points and Rosen scored 4 points.
Emery has now worked their way into the rankings of the two Salt Lake papers, as they have become an exciting team to watch. Emery is on the road Tuesday night in St. George facing a good Dixie squad and will be home Thursday night hosting Wasatch at the Spartan Center.

In for a dime, in for a dollar--or many, many thousands of them. The opportunity to build his first arena, and maybe even "a neighborhood practically from scratch", means starchitect Frank Gehry dutifully participated in a charade over the name of the flagship Atlantic Yards tower, which is now--as predicted by me and NoLandGrab--up for a naming rights sponsorship.
The New York Observer's Real Estate blog reported yesterday:
Bruce Ratner is looking for a new name for the signature office tower in his $4 billion-plus Atlantic Yards project.
The Frank Gehry-designed tower was known as "Miss Brooklyn" until it was shrunk, redesigned and re-unveiled in April under a new, more staid moniker: "B1." It turns out that that name, too, may change, should developer Forest City Ratner, led by Mr. Ratner, find a tenant eager enough to attach its name to the building.
B1 was the original moniker.
Gehry's statement
"The design for Miss Brooklyn, which we now call Building One, has become very special for me," Gehry said in a May 5 press release from developer Forest City Ratner.
In a May 5 e-newsletter, the developer upped the ante, suggesting that the utilitarian placeholder "B1" had been "christened": And today Forest City Ratner released new renderings showing Frank Gehry's beautiful redesign of the Barclays Center arena, the first residential building and the office tower now christened B1 (formerly known as Miss Brooklyn).
As I wrote May 6, actually, it was always Building One; I noted comments in September 2006 from the Department of City Planning and the official site plan. It's likely, I added, that B1 is just a placeholder, ready to be jettisoned if and when an anchor tenant is recruited.
Unskeptical press
Still, the press wasn't skeptical enough. The New York Daily News, on May 5: Originally envisioned as a 620-foot residential and commercial tower, the newly named "B1" - or Building One - will be slashed to 511 feet and feature commercial office space only, Gehry said yesterday.
Curbed on May 5 called it [T]he unfortunately named B1...
The Brooklyn Paper, on May 6, wrote: Ratner has said he won't build the Frank Gehry–designed tower, now called "Building B-1"
(Lumi Rolley of NoLandGrab commented on the likelihood the name was just a placeholder.)
Even Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's press release stated: The paper reports that the so-called "Miss Brooklyn" signature skyscraper, is now called simply "Building 1."
Metro , on May 6, reported: Gehry — who once said his inspiration for his centerpiece building, "Miss Brooklyn," was a bride he saw in the borough — jilted her for a tower now called "B1" (Building One).
The Toronto Globe & Mail, on May 19, wrote: The now dubbed B1 replaces the former Miss Brooklyn...
Expect more coverage if/when Forest City Ratner secures an anchor tenant.

Super Saturday Round Two For San Marcos & Santa Barbara Soccer
Rivals Work Together To Raise Funds for Soccer Programs
GOLETA, Calif. - Hopefully Super Saturday Part Two will do just as well or even better than the original.
This Saturday starting at 9 a.m. with the freshman boys, San Marcos High School will host six soccer games against rival Santa Barbara as part of a giant fundraiser for both programs.
The freshman girls game will take place at 11 a.m., junior varsity boys at 1 p.m., girls junior varsity at 3 p.m., boys varsity at 5 p.m. and girls varsity at 7 p.m.
Sales from tickets, food, and t-shirts will be go directly to the soccer programs at each school. Two Saturday's ago, these two schools played six games at Santa Barbara High School and raised significant funds.

"I love these shoes though it took some time to break in. They are a pain to drive in because of the high platform, so driver beware. You will become very tall in these shoes instantaneously, which is a good thing when looking around in crowds. I did wear these shoes for an entire day and they held up well but my feet were tired at the end of the evening. Give yourself time to break them in before a long day of wearing."

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

Around the league - Dec 24 2009
Jason Gregor
December 24 2009 10:09AM
Merry Christmas to all our loyal Nation readers, with your help we continue to grow and we look forward to bigger and better things in the New Year. In less than a week the most anticipated announcement of the Olympics will occur: Steve Yzerman will announce the players for the men's hockey team.
I'm sure you will be inundated with prognostications of who will be on the team, so before I go I thought I'd get a jump on things.
I think there are some easy choices that everyone will have on the team. The goaltenders will be Martin Brodeur; he will be the starter, Roberto Luongo and Marc-Andre Fleury. There are no other realistic options.
Sidney Crosby, Jarome Iginla, Rick Nash, Dany Heatley, Joe Thornton and Ryan Getzlaf are locks to make it up front, while Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, Jay Bouwmeester and Shea Weber are sure bets.
That is 13 guaranteed spots, which leaves ten.
There are other guys who you could consider locks, but there will be some minimal debate on whether they deserve to be on the team.
Rather than pick who I think Yzerman will pick, I will fill out the remaining ten spots with the seven forwards and three defensemen I would take, although I suspect most of these ten will make the final squad.
Corey Perry will make it. He is an ass to play against, has won a Cup, is having a great season and has chemistry with Getzlaf.
I'd take Patrick Marleau because rather than pout about losing his captaincy he has flourished in San Jose, and he is underrated defensively. And with only one practice Mike Babcock can put him with Heatley and Thornton and they won't need anytime to gel.
Mike Richards is my fourth line centre. He is physical, has good enough hands and he has the ability to change the momentum with an energy-type shift.
Brad Richards is finally healthy again, has proven he can be a clutch player and is versatile enough to play any forward position.
Vincent Lecavalier is having a decent season, but it's his size and grit side that I'd like on my team. He would be my third line centre and thrive playing with Getzlaf and Perry.
I want Eric Staal because last May he was one of the most dominant players in the game. His playoff record shows he performs when it matters most, and he could easily play the wing. I know he hasn't had a great season, but I still want him on my team.
Jonathon Toews with his speed, versatility and youthful exuberance makes the squad. He could easily play on the fourth line because if Babcock asks him to be defensive-minded his game is well-rounded enough to do.
Some guys who will be disappointed include: Dustin Penner, 39 solid games aren't enough this time around, Jeff Carter, no room for a guy who misses the net one out of every three shots and Shane Doan, a great role guy, but Perry and M. Richards are better at this point.
Dan Boyle is the most underrated D-man in the game. He has incredible hockey sense, has won a Cup and is just as comfortable running the PP as he is anchoring the PK.
Duncan Keith's skating ability and elite puck-moving skills make him a must on my squad.
Drew Doughty is only twenty but this kid is the real deal. The only reason he doesn't make the team is because of his age, but he has proven he is mature beyond his years plus he looks like he is 30. I think within two years he will be a perennial Norris Trophy candidate.
I don't need a one-dimensional D-man like Robyn Regehr on my team because Weber and Pronger have that nastiness if you need it. Mike Green's defensive game could be dicey in the medal rounds, despite is unreal offensive game. He is the best offensive defenseman in the game, but in a short tourney that isn't enough.
The debate won't end on December 30th when the team is announced, but it will continue until the Olympics start, and if Canada doesn't win the Gold then the debate over what a difference "this guy or that guy" would have made will be epic.
I will be in Costa Rica for the next two weeks, so ATL will take a break until my return, so to make up for it I've added a few extra women as an early Christmas present. The Stars girls really like their job based on their smiles. Here is a blonde, a brunette and an auburn just for you.
- I won't lie, I can't think of anything good this week because all I'm thinking about is the sand, sun and babes of Tamarindo.
- But I will leave you with this….As you make a wish list for who you'd like to see your team add in 2010 here are some guys who will most surely be moved before the trade deadline.
- Ray Whitney will be an excellent depth player for a team that needs a bit more offence and some help on the powerplay.
- Saku Koivu has started to play better in Anaheim and unless the Ducks have a huge turnaround he will be on the move.
- Andy Sutton is 6'5" and one of the top teams will want some depth and size on the backend.
- Ethan Moreau and Steve Staios could be a small piece of a big puzzle if a team wants guys with limited skill, but lots of effort and heart. Moreau could use a change of scenery and Staios would welcome a shot at a ring.
- The Leafs will have a fire sale with guys like Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers, Lee Stempiak and Garret Exelby all being available and they have some, albeit limited, cache for the right team. Mayers is solid 4th liner, while Exelby could be a sixth D-man on a team lacking in grit. Stajan has leveled off in Toronto, but I could see him potting a few key goals for a team down the stretch.
Here are the top ten in pts, goals, assists and other stats.
26: Marian Gaborik
24: Alex Ovechkin
23: Patrick Marleau
22: Sidney Crosby and Dany Heatley
21: Ilya Kovalchuk and Steven Stamkos

+20: Parise
+18: Ovechkin
+16: Jonathon Toews, Christian Ehrhoff and Jeff Schultz.
+15: Pavel Kubina and Brendan Morrison
+14: Crosby, Marleau and Mike Green
*** Rod Brind'Amour still leads for the Green Jacket with a whopping -20, but Patrick O'Sullivan and Brendan Witt are close at -19. In fact the Hurricanes (Aaron Ward -17, Joni Pitkanen -16, Chad Larose -14 and Sergei Samsonov -14), Islanders (Witt and Richard Park -16) and the Oilers (O'Sullivan, Shawn Horcoff -18 and J.F Jacques -14) have ten of the worst eleven +/- ratings. Only Ales Kotalik from the Rangers makes this group at -16. ***
PP Goals:
Twelve: Gaborik
Ten: Heatley

Just a heads up to all the guys out there who have a wife or girlfriend, be prepared to have to go see the movie Valentine's Day. It will be released just prior or on Valentine's Day and is a romantic comedy with a bunch of good looking people all looking for love or who are in love. It is inevitable boys that if you want to be or stay in the good books that you'll have to take her, or at least most women will want to see it.
If you are wondering what the hell this has to do with sports it was a preview prior to The Blind Side. Great sports movie by the way.
A Merry Christmas and all the best in 2010 to those in the Nation! Talk to you in a few weeks.
December 24 2009, 10:34AM
Merry Christmas Gregor don't get shot in Costa Rica!
December 24 2009, 10:36AM
Hey Gregor, how do you feel E Johnson stacks up with Doughty?
Also, without much backing it, I'm going in with the mind set that Hall is more or less the same caliber of prospect that Kane/Stamkos were at this point. From what you've heard from scouts is the consensus that he's better/as good/worse then those guys? What about Seguin?
JG, are you in Tamarindo the whole time or prowling around the rest of Costa Rica?
If time permits it, and once you're done with the surfing, try to tuck into the interior rainforests. They're pretty impressive and full of monkeys, sloths and caymans... and buckets full of 30 degree celsius rain storms.
December 24 2009, 11:09AM
^^^^ What he said... the interior is gorgeous in some places...
Check out Rin Con de la Vieja if you can. Beautiful hiking, volcanic hot springs, etc. I spent 10 days there a few years ago...
Very worth the trip out to Liberia...
December 24 2009, 11:17AM
Hmm. So you picked:
Crosby Thornton Getzlaf Lecavalier E Staal B Richards M Richards Towes
What do these guys have in common? They are all centers. Oilers Nation today, Mensa tomorrow, hey Gregor? Man this was the worst team Canada list I've ever seen.
Just keep in mind that most of Canada's elite players are centres. We are ridonkulus deep up the middle. Which of those four would you leave off in favour of worse wingers?
December 24 2009, 11:39AM

I don't see Toews making it. He's good, but not team Canada good in my mind.... the guys only a 65 - 70 point guy so far.
I thought Vclav was off, but he's been heating up, with his track record I could now see him making it.
I would bet at least one of Stall/B Richards is off... maybe both.

Canadian men's volleyball team heads to Slovenia for exhibition matches
GATINEAU, Que. – The Canadian men's national volleyball team players currently at the full time training centre leave Friday for Maribor, Slovenia where they will play a series of exhibition matches against professional teams from that country.
The Canadian team includes Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., and Olivier Faucher of Quebec City which were on the squad that placed 19th at the world championships in September.
"The goal of this trip is to give our players some competitive opportunities and also expose them to European play so that they can hopefully land a pro contract in the New Year," said Vincent Pichette, Team Canada's assistant coach who'll assume head coaching responsibilities on the trip.
Canada is fielding a nine-member squad for the Tour. The other players are Jason DeRocco and Andrew Town of Winnipeg, John Galloway of Victoria, B.C., Mathieu McLaughlin of Tilley Road, N.B., Nathan Groenveld of Hamilton and Benoit Raymond of Ottawa.
The Canadians have matches scheduled for December 7,8, 9, 11, 13 and 15th before heading back home on the 16th for the Christmas break. They will be based in Maribor at a new national training facility.

Aging is associated with issues we consider normal such as lack of energy, lack of libido, grey hair and forgetfulness. Age-associated forgetfulness and absentmindedness are some of the most common side effects of growing older. With three specialized ingredients, our Bacopa and Coconut Oil formula helps address day-to-day memory issues in both the young and old.
Bacopa Monnieri (150mg) is a natural herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to enhance memory health and function. Modern research has shown that Bacopa is neuroprotective as an antioxidant, supports learning ability and has a calming, soothing effect on the brain and body. Best taken for a minimum of 5 months.
Methylcobalamin (100mcg) is an absorbable form of Vitamin B12 involved in lowering levels of the amino acid homocysteine. It is essential for ongoing memory health, as high levels of homocysteine have been linked to cases of accelerated memory loss as well as heart disease. This ingredient works to support and maintain cognitive functions, such as reasoning. It also supports brain mass. B12 is also essential for proper blood formation, circulation and nerve health – there are so many reasons to take B12 as you age.
Coconut Oil Powder (100mg) helps boost brain and memory health by providing a healthy supply of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are a highly absorbable alternate source of fuel for healthy brain metabolism, especially when glucose is no longer useful. Supports brain and nerves as well.
Bacopa Oil supplements and Coconut Oil from InVite Health offer natural support for memory and brain health with this blend of powerful ingredients. Its two active herbal components (Bacopa Monnieri and Coconut Oil Powder) work together with the Methylated B12 to support memory health and brain size throughout the aging process. This product provides 100mcg of Methylated B12 per capsule, or 1667% DV, making it an excellent source of the essential Vitamin B12 as well.
As a dietary supplement for adults take one (1) capsule twice a day with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

What are Bacopa and Coconut Oil supplements?
InVite Health's Bacopa and Coconut Oil supplements provide powerful support for memory and brain health with a blend of three helpful ingredients: two natural herbs, Bacopa Monnieriand Coconut Oil Powder, plus the B-Vitamin known as Methylated B12. Bacopa has been known for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as an effective memory-boosting herb, and recent studies show that it may be very beneficial in supporting short-term memory, accomplishing tasks, learning, concentration and cognitive abilities. Coconut powder contains a healthy supply of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which help maintain healthy metabolic process in the brain. MCTs contain fatty acids that break down inside the body and form ketones. Ketones can later be used by the brain to create energy in the case that it cannot get enough energy from glucose. Coconut oil powder is currently being studied on a variety of age-related memory diseases. Methylated B12 is an amino acid that helps regulate the levels of homocysteine in the body. This is beneficial for memory function, as heightened levels of homocysteine have been linked to memory problems. This product is an excellent source of Vitamin B12, providing 1667% DV (100mcg) per capsule.
Aging is associated with issues we consider normal such as lack of energy, lack of libido, grey hair and forgetfulness.

Penn National Gaming Inc. submitted its proposal today to develop a casino complex on16.4 acres on the northern side of the city's downtown – including properties now owned by the Springfield Republican newspaper and by Peter Picknelly, CEO of Peter Pan Bus lines, near the Amtrak terminal. An official at Ameristar Casinos says it has submitted its plans for a $910 million facility at the former Westinghouse property off Interstate 291. MGM resorts International spokesperson Carole Brennan says it has submitted its proposal for an $800 million development on downtown property damaged by the June 2011 tornado.
Penn National's plans include the relocation of the Republican's headquarters to a more central downtown location, and rehabilitation of the Paramount Theater. Spokesperson Eric Schippers says the destination resort's name and style will be consistent with its "Hollywood" brand.
"We're talking about recapturing the golden era of Hollywood, and so you'll see a lot of Art Deco treatment, very tastefully done architectural flourishes that really is just to capture the glamorous era of Hollywood."
Schippers says the company's plans include finding a large retailer to occupy the former Westinghouse property now owned by Ameristar Casinos – which paid $16 million for the industrial parcel.
Ameristar spokesperson Troy Stremming says it has not been in talks to sell their property. Stremmings says its proposal is for a "world-class" resort casino.
"It has a great location, it has easy access off of the highway, and we think it would be a huge opportunity for the city of Springfield to have something that no one else in western Massachusetts has."
While all three companies paid the $50,000 city application fee, MGM is so far the only developer to have paid the $400,000 application fee for a state casino license. Under the state's casino law, only one permit will be awarded in western Massachusetts.
