Skip to comments.Young voter drop in Obama support unprecedented
Posted on 11/24/2012 10:44:00 AM PST by imardmd1
In post-election analyses, the 11-point drop in the president's support among 18- to 29-year-olds indicates that particular voting bloc is falling away from Barack Obama on major issues.
One polling trend that isn't going in Barack Obama's favor after the presidential election is the drop in his support among young voters. Even though it might not be as unbelievable as winning 100 percent of the vote in 59 Philadelphia precincts ─ and nine Cleveland precincts ─ an 11-point swing in support away from Obama is lifting some eyebrows on both sides of the political spectrum ... particularly because that swing comes from the president's strongest segment of voters.
This 11-percent drop in support among the 18- to 29-year-old age group is the largest drop in that demographic in U.S. history for an incumbent president who won re-election.
It begs the question: To what can this largest demographic swing be attributed?
(Note: the above bolding emphsis is mine.)
(Excerpt) Read more at onenewsnow.com ...
Isn't it about time to conduct a broad and deep criminal investigation of these 100% PA and OH districts by finding people therein who will swear they did not vote for Obama, and then finding out what and who are the organization(s) which caused this poll-rigging to happen?By carefully investigating the clerks and inspectors as to their character and behavior? Come on! Some of those youths must have voted in some of those districts.
There must have at least ONE mistake of a voter in hitting the wrong button irretrievably! This is a conspiracy and it is big.
They just haven't yet been totally forgiven their student loans and fully integrated into the EBT, TANF, Section 8, SNAP, and EITC society yet....4 more years ought to do it.
I'm sure their inability to get unemployment had nothing to do with it.
Or employment.
Young people are the ones who can see what's going on. They're not afraid of the truth plus they loathe hypocrisy. They freak when they find out about abortion and they flock, unreportedly, to anti abortion rallies and to things like the Popes semiannual youth visit- these are kids resourceful enough to raise thousands of $s for the trip (NOT government funds, you can be sure).
they are hammered in college with lib think but the smart ones are finding alternatives, not dreaming of incurring a no job - hundred or so $K debt just to get hammered with such.
The young, skull full of mush, "lady parts" voters with their breast implants and popeye tattoos made up the difference with their demands for free condoms and birth control pills. The "Little Princess" vote.
It was our election to lose, and we did.
Voter drop that was made up by increased turnout among single white women, Blacks, sodomites, Hispanic, and Asians, and the food stamp crowd.
With the drop in support in Obama's identity groups, the question now is why the Republicans couldn't/didn't take advantage.
A decent turnout of Republicans back to the totals of McCain wouldn't been a sweeping victory. A change of a few hundred thousand votes in swing states would have made for a victory.
There is no good reason I can see why so many Republican voters allowed the country to be taken over by the Obama socialist racist coalition.
The "inside the beltway" GOP lost the election. They've reverted to what they were between Hoover and Reagan, perfectly content to lose and watch the Democrats implement the Big Government they desire.
Young people, like everyone, can be easily fooled once.
Twice? Not so many of them are that stupid.
Let's give them credit for seeing through the bSh!t
and try to get them to turn out and vote for the better candidate(s) next time!
There are signs of intelligence in the next generation!
Let's do our best to reach out and embrace ...
I read that after all absentee ballots and provisional ballots were counted Romney actually got more votes than McCain.
Y'all are missing the point! This is not about the young vote! It's about NO VOTES for somebody else in all these districts. What this post is about is the broad criminal conduct of the polls, IMHO!
Baloney. Support for contraception is extremely strong from the 'tune in, turn on, drop out' generation.
There are 90 million Americans who are eligible to vote; yet chose not to do so. I wonder who they are..?
Good grief. Who the heck would care, except for Dems who wish Repubs replay the last election?
Pick a conservative and it won't matter. We will win. Pick a liberal like Romney and people don't have a choice on who to vote since both were liberal. The youth had nobody to vote for and that is why they didn't support either one.
If his biggest supporters abandoned him, then how did he win? Fraud!
The biggest load of crap is to vote others. The one and only person to lose the election is ROMNEY! He was the liberal who sucked! Get off blaming others as you sound like Obama. Romney lost because he has zero core. He flip flopped on many issues and was liberal on the rest. ROMNEY LOST THIS EASY ELECTION!!!!!

"Isn't it about time to conduct a broad and deep criminal investigation of these 100% PA and OH districts"
What happened in these same districts in 2008 ???
What did McCain/Palin get 4 years ago, compare side by side with 2012, district by district.
Obama would have won regardless of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Obama won by so many electorals that it was very embarrassing....even Romney should hide forever.
As though we don't know that this was a stolen election. The Obamedia want us to believe that Blacks, Mexicans, and immoral young women put our first Communist president into office for the next four years, but we know it was really Axlerod and his crooked voting machines. Because they cheated, Obama has no credibility and will be the worst failure in the history of the presidency.
I did not get the full story ,but if some FReeper from Houston did hear all of this - Please reply with more details. Thanks.
another memory fragment- the truck stop could have been on US Hwy 75 because i thought the caller said Denison Texas
that route takes you more to a NE direction
We know there was ridicuous voter fraud. We knew it way prior to the primaries. Romney couuld have been a great president, but he was a terrible candidate.
The GOP was not listening to us nor are they seeing where they went wrong- the point that we told them about- the forseeable problem. Get someone in there with convictions. Conservative ones a plus. But someone who could fight BHO and the Dems with more (as much we would have taken) power than that with which he fought the Republicans in the primary.
The fraud was taken into account with that plea.
You can't unseat him with fraud charges and hav four years of a good presidency. And with whom? Biden? Pelosi? Hillary? Axelrod? Mooch? Rahm Emmanuel? Holder?
Romney? He ran off the stage so fast I got whiplash just watching.
You sat at home didn't you?
You ripped Romney at every opportunity while he was our candidate didn't you?
You are still attacking him.
Well you got who you played for.
That is the big question. From the highbrow proclamations of the principled voters, you would think they are pleased that the socialists are running amok.
Here's the latest analysis from the pollster who was most correct about the election.
This is not impossible considering that only 4% of blacks overall voted for Romney and the ghetto percentage is less. So one percent (4 out of 400) is probably about all Romney could expect.
You are still attacking him.
That's because you are slobbering all over him. It is disgusting. He lost. Deal with it and next time don't pick someone you love but someone you hopefully share your values...unless you do share his values....God only knows you could be the most liberal person by your behavior.
Think of it this way. Even if Romney would have gotten the 4% black vote in those precincts, that would have been 16 votes per 400 voters times about 200 precincts or a couple hundred more votes in Cleveland as a whole. Made no practical difference to this election. The way to fix it in the future is to stop subsidizing the ghetto.
Your continued sniping at the fellow only hurts our brand.
Dems circle the wagons.
Folks like you call for circular firing squads.
This is why we lost Senate seats too.
Was Romney perfect? Hell No!
Was he head an shoulders over Obama? Hell Yes!
Yes ... but no one with clout is willing to put their retirement on the line.
"The young, skull full of mush, lady parts voters with their breast implants and popeye tattoos made up the difference with their demands for free condoms and birth control pills. The Little Princess vote."
Yes, Obama planned on the votes of the young. He knows that he will have to cut Medicare further than the billions he has taken from Medicare already and ration healthcare. Obama will have an ally in those further cuts in this same large segment of young people in sending off granny with a sleeping pill.

Jenkins: None Dare Call It Default
A nicer term for what's about to sock the middle class is 'entitlement reform.'
A few years ago, when the economy was humming, a common estimate held that federal taxes would have to rise 50% immediately to fully fund entitlement programs. Today, a 50% tax increase would be needed just to meet the government's current spending, never mind its future obligations.
One way or another, then, entitlements will be cut. Don't call it default. The correct term is entitlement reform.
You saw this day coming and saved for your own retirement. Don't call it default when Washington inevitably confiscates some of your savings, say, by raising taxes on dividends and capital gains. Taxpayers accept the risk of future tax hikes that may make the decision to save seem foolish in retrospect.
Which brings us to President Obama. He knows cuts are necessary but seeks to position Democrats politically as the defender of all spending. Notice that, with ObamaCare, he is deliberately creating a constituency of the young to set against the old in future fights over the allocation of federal health care dollars....

Your continued sniping at the fellow only hurts our brand.
Not if it wakes people up and admit that we f'ed up by picking a horrible candidate TWICE. If we continue to say that Romney was groovy then God forbid it will happen again and we will get stuck with another loser. Isn't twice enough???? Aren't you embarrassed? Don't you feel that we made mistakes?
I actually believe 100 percent is possible in these cess-pools. Yep, the election was based on a few dozen urban areas in the entire nation...urban areas that do not even look like 'America', as they much more resemble the third world.
Agreed, and Romney was the anointed prince of the beltway GOP.
Once the primary is over I support our candidate, and frankly I thought Romney performed better than we could have expected.
I disagree with lots of legislation that was passed in Ma, but don't hold Romney personally liable for all that legislation.
He took a lot of the extreme liberal stuff out, as in the Ma AWB.
It's a horrible law that did not fit the nation and would have been much worse for Ma gun owners had Romney not worked to protect gun owners from the extreme liberals in Ma.
Romneycare is what Ma wanted and is constitutional at the STATE level.
States are laboratories of legislation.
What is Unconstitutional IMHO is Obamacare at the Federal level.
Justice Roberts disagrees with me but Romney thought it was unconstitutional too.
Perhaps. But I think we need to pick a conservative in 2016. People say they are not electable but neither is moderates either obviously. Santorum should be our candidate in 2016. I don't see how anyone else would be worse or possibly better. The GOP is going to try to pick a hispanic to try and win that way.....Again it is all about conservative values not sucking up especially to Republicans who are smarter than that.
Nice anecdotal thoughts, but the stats tell us otherwise: the young vote more liberally than anyone else.
If Obama had an unprecedented drop in support from his first to second term, that most likely is simply due to his having had a super-unprecedented level of support among the young to start with.
It doesn't matter anymore how good your candidate is. Show me all the precincts where Romney won 100% of the vote.
I understand your perspective but if Romney got creamed on the war on women what do you think will happen to Rick?
In the general election Romney was a very strong candidate.
You can't just appeal to one group of people.
Romney has a good flair for not getting pissed off or offensive.
That said, I do believe he is conservative at heart.
Sadly he could not beat Santa Claus.
In Ohio Romney got killed on his 47% statement.
Especially where the 47%ers are 99%
999 would have gone over well there.
Fair elections are history in this country, and it's always the libtards who cheat and get away with it.
Amerika is officially an upside-down society, soviet style.
They also had 4 years of exposure to Marxism in action.
Forget targeting specific demographics. The GOP needs to make the general case for Liberty.
We're no winning if by the slightest of margins. We need a sea-change in turnout that will represent real interest in moving the Country forward. A progressive society is one that embraces Conservative values.
Romney was a whack case, a radical liberal, whose only legacy in politics will be gay marriage and Obamacare, Romney rejected the GOP pro-life platform and called for homosexualizing the Boy Scouts and the military, and returned to his pro-abortion "health of the mother" after he won the nomination.
The man is a whack case that literally believes that he is becoming God, and teaches that others can become Gods also and rule over their own planets, he is a draft evading pathological liar that claims to have marched with MLK and other bizarre lies.
Did Romney and his supporters destroy the GOP brand forever, we don't know.
Running a democrat, broke the connection with the GOP branding.
You are not telling the truth. Romney never walked with MLK jr. he was only 14 at the time. Why do you have such hatred to him? No Republican ever brings up those social issues while he is President. They are too busy fighting the Socialist in congress. Romney is right to life man,too

Chapter 17
Hoshea reigns in Israel and is subject to the Assyrians—The Israelites forsake the Lord, worship idols, serve Baal, and reject all that the Lord has given them—The ten tribes are carried away captive by the kings of Assyria—The land of Israel (Samaria) is repopulated by other people—Many forms of false worship are found among the Samaritans.
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 ¶Against him came up

20 And the Lord
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the Lord, and made them sin a great sin.
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 Until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the
24 ¶And the king of Assyria
25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the

33 They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named
35 With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not

A keloid scar is the result of an abnormal proliferation of scar tissue that forms at the site of an injury to the skin (eg, on the site of a surgical incision or trauma). Keloid scars do not regress. They grow beyond the original margins of the scar which differs from hypertrophic scars which while raised do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Hypertrophic scars may reduce over time.
Keloid scars tend to recur after excision so anything that can help me prevent their formation is welcome.
I stumbled across this press release a few weeks ago. It explains the findings published in the article (first reference below) published online January 21, 2011in the British Journal of Dermatology which notes a possible molecular target in the prevention of keloid scarring.
Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 protein (CTHRC1) inhibits the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-stimulated collagen production that occurs in keloid scar formation, report researchers.
"Keloids are manifestations of an abnormal process of tissue repair after trauma to the skin. Options for treatment are limited because of lack of understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing the formation," explain Hongxiang Chen (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China) and colleagues.
"Increased understanding of the role of TGF-β signaling in keloids makes manipulation of TGF-β an attractive therapeutic strategy," they say.
CTHRC1 is expressed in the adventitia and neointima on arterial injury. Chen and team assessed regulation of the CTHRC1 gene, its interaction with TGF-β1, and its possible role in keloid scar formation in fibroblast cells from keloid tissue and normal skin.
TGF-β1 and CTHRC1 were localized to the dermis in both normal and keloid skin fibroblasts. Expression of both factors were increased in keloid compared with normal skin and CTHRC1 appeared to increase in a TGF-β1 concentration-dependent manner.
When keloid fibroblasts were treated with TGF-β1 (10 ng/ml), cell proliferation increased dramatically, specifically, collagen type I synthesis was preferentially stimulated.
However, when recombinant CTHRC1 was added to the TGF-β1-treated keloid cells, the proliferation effect was reversed and excess collagen synthesis was inhibited.
Notably, treatment with recombinant CTHRC1 appeared to have no adverse effects on cell viability.
"Our data indicated that TGF-β1 was overexpressed in keloid fibroblasts and recombinant CTHRC1 could reverse TGF-β1-induced collagen type I expression at least in part by decreasing collagen synthesis," conclude the authors.
"As a potent negative regulator of collagen matrix deposition, CTHRC1 may have therapeutic value in antifibrotic treatment strategies," they suggest.
It would be nice if someday this research lead to a "prevention" therapy.

Student essays should be written about the "A Legacy of Liberty: Celebrating Lincoln's Bicentennial," which is the 2009 Law Day theme. The Law Day theme is selected by the American Bar Association and will explore the role of law in fulfilling the promises of the Declaration of Independence. On May 1, 1958, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed the first Law Day as a day of national dedication to the principle of government under law. Each student will shadow a judge in one of the state's eight judicial districts in either April or May. The student will spend the day learning what it takes to become a judge, the duties a judge performs, and about the judicial branch of government. Schools are asked to submit an application form by March 6 to the Utah State Court's public information officer, Nancy Volmer, at email@example.com. An application form for Law Day is available on the court's Web site at www.utcourts.gov ( http://www.utcourts.gov/ ). More information on the Law Day theme is available at www.lawday.org ( http://www.lawday.org/ ).

Poe's Super Cedar 300 Crankbaits
The magic of a wooden bait is something that has to be seen and felt in order for one to appreciate the subtle differences between composite and natural wood lures. Crankbaits have come a long way since the first hand carved wood lures; however, one thing is for sure, and that is there is no substitute for wood when it comes to natural action in a lure. Plastic and composite lures may be more consistent out of the box, but wood lures, especially cedar lures, have a natural buoyancy and livelier action that drives fish wild. Poes is one of the few remaining manufacturers of wooden crankbaits, not because they are outdated or don't work, but because wood is a difficult material to use in the manufacturing process. Poes has not shyed away from the challenge of producing a wooden crankbait with consistent action, durability, and deep diving capabilities.
The Super Cedar Series crankbaits have exceptional action and a natural buoyancy, making these great baits for structure bumping. The bill design creates a tight wobble that allows the Super Cedars to move through structure with less resistance. The cedar construction provides a natural ricochet action when bumped into structure. The exciting color selection, deep diving capability, and exceptional durability makes Poes Super Cedar Crankbaits a step above the rest.

Evangelical Christianity & Homosexuality
Understanding the Relationship
Evangelical and conservative Christians can be counted upon to exhibit outrage and dismay over just about any attempts to treat gays like equal citizens. I'm not talking about gay marriage here, an arguably difficult and controversial issue. I'm talking about something much more basic: whether or not gays should be protected from discrimination when it comes to things like hiring, firing, housing, and financial transactions.
Non-evangelicals and non-Christians will typically find opposition to such anti-discrimination laws to be puzzling. At most one might try to argue that they aren't necessary, or perhaps that all anti-discrimination laws are wrong, but evangelicals go much further and argue that such anti-gay discrimination should be expressly allowed even when it is not permitted in the context of race or gender.
To understand why this is so, we must bear in mind that evangelical Christians don't treat homosexuality as an orientation, they treat it as a behavior. In essence, they are speaking a different language when talking about gays. For them, being gay is like being addicted to cocaine: you can stop if you really want to and try hard enough. Once you stop, you may continue to feel the urges to use the product, but so long as you don't give in to the temptation, you're okay (you're no longer a cocaine user, you're no longer a homosexual).
This means that to them, laws against discrimination of gays aren't a matter of being told "you can't refuse to hire a person simply because he finds other men sexually attractive." That would be no more objectionable than being told "you can't refuse to hire a person simply because he finds women other that his wife sexually attractive." Consider the following comment from Hal Lindsey:
There were homosexuals in the Corinthian Church Ð just as there were fornicators, adulterers, thieves, drunkards, etc. All of these were forgiven and justified before God when they received the gift of pardon purchased for them by Jesus Christ. But just as the thief, the adulterer, the fornicator and the drunkard were required to change their behavior, so the homosexual had to change his lifestyle.
Laws banning discrimination against gays are, for evangelicals and fundamentalists like Lindesy, a matter of being told "you can't refuse to hire a person who engages in the sinful activity of gay sex." They see that as being substantially the same as being told "you can't refuse to hire a person who engages in the sinful activity of being a thief."
What this means is that getting them to accept laws banning discrimination against gays requires making thrm understand that homosexuality is a sexual orientation, not simply a type of sexual behavior. They need to realize that a person can be gay even without engaging in sexual behavior with a person of the same gender - and that a person who does engage in such behavior isn't necessarily gay.
But that seems rather unlikely. For evangelical and conservative Christians, homosexuality needs to be a behavior in order to fit in with the principle that it is a sin which can be overcome. Under the traditional Christian conception of morality, sins are behaviors which we all choose and which, at least in theory, we can choose not to engage in. It is true that we can't choose not to be sinners and so we cannot choose never to sin at all, but we are still personally responsible for individual sinful acts which we commit.
Thus, being attracted to a member of the same sex is not a sin, it's simply a temptation to sin. A person doesn't choose to be tempted, althoug a person does choose whether or not they end up in situations where the temptation is likely too be stronger. So long as the temptation is resisted, a person remains free from actual sinning. Thus, if homosexuality were defined as an orientation, it would be very difficult to maintain the idea that it is a sin (the Roman Catholic Church, which accepts the conception of homosexuality as an orientation, gets around this problem by describing homosexuality as a "disorder").
Evangelical Christians also need to view homosexuality as a type of behavior in order to accept the existence of an ex-gay movement of people who have indeed overcome homosexuality. A homosexual orientation that isn't your choice isn't sinful and can't just be set aside through a 12-step program - it's a part of you, just as heterosexuality is a part of other people.
This also explains many people's disbelief that someone really can become an "ex-gay." It isn't necessarily that they stop finding members of the same sex attractive, although they may avoid being put in a situation where such attraction can develop. Instead, they develop stable relationships with members of the opposite sex. So long as their sexual activity is confined to a marriage with a member of the opposite sex and never occurs with members of the same sex, then they are no longer giving in to sin and hence are no longer gay.
It should be clear that the opposition of evangelicals and fundamentalists to anti-discrimination laws that address sexual orientation is based largely upon their misunderstandings of homosexuality - the same misunderstandings that form the basis of so much of their reaction to homosexuality in general. It seems to follow that if these misunderstandings could be cleared up, quite a lot of the rancor which currently exists between evangelical Christians and gays might also be cleared up. Unfortunately, the prospects of this would appear to be quite dim.-->

UNC Charlotte's fourth class of 15 Levine Scholars is set to embark upon their first semester at the University. But before they enter the classroom, the incoming freshmen recently wrapped up a challenging 25-day leadership experience in Wyoming's Absaroka Range. The wilderness expedition has become a summer tradition that began with the program's inaugural class. Guides from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) led the excursion.
The Absaroka Range is a vast wilderness region with some of the most remote territory in the nation. Bordering Yellowstone National Park, the range offers stunning views of snow-covered mountains stretching from the Tetons to Yellowstone to the Wind River Range. The area also features broad river valleys surrounded by sheer, glacier-carved cliffs.
Kelley Shealy, associate director of the Levine Scholars Program, noted the students camped under towering conifers and hiked across alpine plateaus where the tallest plants are only a few inches high. Along with grizzlies, other wildlife in the region includes deer, bighorn sheep, elk, moose, coyote and gray wolves.
— Addison Goff
Class of 2017
"The Levine Scholars Leadership Expedition to Wyoming was a wonderful way to begin the scholars' UNC Charlotte experience," said Diane Zablotsky, director of the Levine Scholars Program. "In the field, they discovered and experienced the rugged beauty of a new place while getting to know each other, developed leadership skills and began to feel like a group. They will come to campus to begin their freshmen year with a clearer understanding of the scholarship program, an experience similar to older students in the program, and with increased confidence to face the challenges of the coming academic year."
With the addition of the fourth cohort this year, the Levine Scholars Program will have a full contingent of 60 students for the first time in its history ranging from freshmen to seniors.
The scholarships were made possible by philanthropists Leon and Sandra Levine, who committed $9.3 million to UNC Charlotte for the scholarship program to develop community service leaders. Leon Levine is the founder and chairman emeritus of Matthews-based Family Dollar Stores Inc. The scholarships cover the cost of all tuition and fees, housing and meals, books, a laptop computer and summer experiences, including the Wyoming trip. The value of the scholarship is about $90,000 for each in-state student and $140,000 for each out-of-state student.

Love them!
"Only had one pair of Naya boots in a W width, so unsure what I could wear in regular. I have a medium arch and wider feet. Also have a ganglion cyst on the top of my right foot (got it after snowboarding and it won't go away!).Ordered 9.5M (Normally wear 9-9.5W in Sofft) and had coupon, so took a chance since I could just return them to the local DSW if I didn't like it (unlike 6PM or Zappos). Received them in about 5 business days. I put them on after I had been out all day and driving and they were kind of tight and the peep-toe felt like it was cutting into my big toe. Despite that, I decided to try them in the AM when my feet weren't so swollen. Put them on when I got up...like a dream! Probably could have used a 9W, but the 9.5M fit great without any pinching or discomfort and enough slack to not make my foot feel like a sausage. Heel height is perfect. Padded footbed, like Sofft, so comfy! I like to bootie-style since it gives great all-over support when walking in a higher heel. It really doesn't feel like 3", as I have bought 3" heels and I feel like I'm tippy-toe-ing! I can walk without looking like I'm trying to balance! I haven't tried them on when going out yet, but if I can, I'll post an update on how I fare using them to a party or out. They are not very fancy, more like business casual/dressy since the heel is a contrasting wood color, but definitely not like flip-flops! Will look great with slacks or jeans to give great height and a little flare! The rippling effect of the leather gives it some "oomph" when you want to spice up your look a little.I used to only buy Sofft brand, but I'm so very glad I tried Naya! Getting a little older (and heavier), I'm really looking for trendy, comfortable shoes that don't make me look 20 years older than I am. I'm willing to buy a more expensive shoe that is comfortable, versus a nice looking, cheap shoe that I just want to chuck after walking out the front door! I would've paid $80-100 for this shoe, that's how c"

Caitie's Morning Skin and Hair Routine…Exposed!
Meet Caitie, a natural beauty blogger who shares our passion for great clean products!
Name: Caitie
Age: 25
Hometown: Toronto, ON, Canada
Current Weather: Moody—hot and humid one day, cool the next.
Hair: Curly and very prone to frizz. I've happily found products that keep it under control, but when I deviate, bad, pouffy things happen!
Skin: Pretty normal. I struggled with acne until about 21, but since then, my skin has been fairly easygoing. It can be a little sensitive at times, but generally my biggest skin concerns are pores that I wish were less visible, and a couple fine lines on my forehead.
Icon: I'm not sure I have one! But, let's go with Amanda Seyfried. I don't see it, but ever since Mamma Mia came out, I regularly have strangers come up to me and tell me how much I look like her. It's very strange…
The night before…
I take my makeup off with jojoba oil and then double cleanse with some kind of cleanser. I've been looking for a new one and trying out a few different ones in the meantime, but none seem quite right. I like Pretty's Black Tea and Raw Cocoa Cleansing Grains and Weleda's Soothing Almond Cleansing Lotion, but I'm not convinced either of them gets my skin clean enough to use just it, all the time. After cleansing, I use a homemade witch hazel toner, and follow with KYI's Argan + Vitamin C Serum, which is a light oil, but still very hydrating. I've actually noticed an improvement in the lines on my forehead in the two months or so I've been using it. I also use Pure + Simple's Eye Brightening Cream, which is great for dark circles, but not quite as effective for puffiness.
In the morning…
About once a week, I mix up a homemade clay mask and apply that about 10 minutes before jumping in the shower. When I remember, I'll also do a quick dry brush. On days when I don't do a mask, I like to use a face scrub in the shower – either Devita's Gentle Aloe Scrub or Sukin's Revitalizing Facial Scrub (which contains phenoxyethanol but is otherwise very clean). Next, I wash my hair with Acure's Moroccan Argan Oil + Argan Stem Cell Shampoo and leave the matching conditioner on until the very end of my shower. I change body washes all the time, but right now I'm using Nourish's Almond Vanilla, which is lovely and creamy, and smells like decadent cake batter. On shaving days, I use Desert Essence's Fragrance Free Conditioner, which I hated on my hair, but which works surprisingly well as a shaving cream.
Outside of the shower…
If I don't deal with my hair while it's very wet, it frizzes up, so after quickly toweling off, the first thing I do is apply Aura Cacia's Organic Argan Oil, focusing it mainly on my ends. Then, I scrunch with either Yarok's Feed Your Roots Mousse or Intelligent Nutrients' Styling Gel. Both control frizz and define my curls, without leaving my hair sticky or crunchy. Both also have mild scents, which I love since scented hair products usually start to drive me crazy midway through the day. The Intelligent Nutrients gives a little more hold and makes for better second day hair, but either one is fine day to day.
On my face, I use my homemade witch hazel toner again, followed by Skin Essence's Nourish Serum/Moisturizer and Pure + Simple's Eye Brightening Cream. I also moisturize my body with an unscented lotion. Right now I'm using Seed's Nourishing Body Lotion, but my favorite is Acure's Cocoa Butter + CoQ10.
Finishing Touches…
I enjoy playing around with makeup, but my everyday look is pretty neutral. Eye shadow varies day to day, but it's usually a light, shimmery beige or gold on the lid and a medium brown or plum in the crease. My favorite mascara is Zuzu Luxe's Onyx, and while I don't wear liner every day, when I do, it's a pencil from either Honeybee Gardens or Benecos. Lips are usually pretty subtle. I like Badger's lip balms (particularly the cocoa butter ones), Yes to Carrot's Tinted Colorbalms, Vapour's lip glosses, and a recent discovery, Ecco Bella's FlowerColor lipsticks (Tuscany Rose is my favorite). Most days I wear a powder foundation, either Honeybee Gardens' Pressed Mineral Foundation or Lucy Minerals' Lucy Light Foundation. For a cream/liquid product, I'm a big fan of The All Natural Face's Cream Foundation. I also use Une's Skin Glow Pencil and Silk Naturals' Sleep in a Jar Concealer under my eyes. My blush is usually from one of my homemade pressed palettes, which I made a couple months ago when I was feeling especially adventurous. I top everything off with Lucy Minerals' Light Finishing Powder, which blurs fine lines and imperfections and helps my makeup last longer.
Whew, sounds like a lot when you write it all out! Overall, I'm pretty happy with my routine, but I'm still searching for a perfect cleanser and eye cream. Any suggestions are very welcome!

Did you know that new cable customers get perks that older customers may never see? It's true.
Dwayne Hogan, a cable expert and TV blogger, says that cable companies have been reporting a steady decline in cable TV subscribers, and as a result, are willing to do whatever it takes to obtain customers.
In fact, the digital media research group, The Diffusion Group (TDG), predicts cable subscriptions will decline from a high of 100.9 million in 2011 to less than 95 million in 2017.
"Cable providers know this, and are working hard to stop the bleeding. This means they will go above and beyond to acquire new cable customers," says Hogan.
Ready to start reaping the benefits of new cable-dom? Keep reading to learn about four perks of being a new cable customer.
Perk #1: Up to 40 Percent Savings
You might think that the advertised price - or the first price given by a customer service representative - is the one you should pay. But Chris Wyatt, CEO and founder of Youtoo TV, says that's not always the case - especially for new cable customers.
"Most cable customers don't know that you can negotiate with your cable provider. Each customer is very valuable to the provider. The average lifetime value of each customer is approximately $3500, so consumers have more leverage than they might think."
Hogan agrees. He says that he's seen new customer rates that are close to 40 percent lower than the rates of existing customers.
Pro Tip: If you already have cable, calling your current cable company and telling them you're looking to move your service elsewhere might net you a deal, too. Wyatt says that cable companies' customer service reps are trained to offer discounts to customers looking to cancel their service.
And according to a May 2013 telecom survey by the Consumer Reports Research Center, Wyatt may be on to something. Just consider these findings, published in Consumer Reports' magazine:
"Among readers who changed TV providers in the previous six months, 18 percent were offered new savings of $20 or more a month by their old provider if they didn't switch to a new company or if they had switched but were open to coming back."

Perk #2: Even Cheaper Bundling Deals
When it comes to bundling your cable, Internet, and phone, you're generally going to get a lower rate. In fact, Hogan notes that customers who bundle save around $33 on their monthly bill.
"For cable providers, bundling is key," says Wyatt. "That's because cable is not their most lucrative business. Most cable companies generate more revenue from selling Internet and phone service. That's why they offer discounts to customers if they purchase a 'bundle' or package of services."
But how are new customers rewarded in the bundling game?
Wyatt notes that new customers can usually receive a better overall bundle offer. "New customers generally come from an existing provider and the competition to add new subscribers is the name of the cable company game," he adds.
Pro Tip: Wyatt says that while you may get a good deal, you should be aware that some bundles require a minimum one or two-year commitment. Be sure to check the fine print before you sign on to a new bundled plan!

Perk #3: Free Premium Channels, DVRs, Gift Cards, etc.
Free: It's a four letter word that we all love to hear. And as a new cable customer who's shopping providers, you'll hear it often.
Hogan says that cable companies often entice you to become a new customer by offering free channel upgrades, among other extras. And these extras are the things that can really make a difference in your cable experience, Wyatt notes.
Let's take a look at freebies that providers are currently offering to new customers*:
Verizon FiOS: With the "FiOS Triple Play" package (with a 2-year agreement) for $89.99/month, you'll also receive:
- FiOS Quantum speed upgrade
- $100 Visa prepaid card
- Multi-Room DVR free for 12 months
- Wireless router - at no extra cost
- offer ends 5/18/2013
AT&T U-verse: With the "TV, Internet & Phone" package for $79.99/month, you'll also receive:
- $150 reward card
- DVR included
- Add HBO or HBO/Cinemax and get it free for 3 months
- offer ends 7/27/2013
Pro Tip: New customers aren't coming in as steadily during the holiday season because they're focused on purchasing other consumer goods, says Hogan. So, you can use this time to score even more additional extras if you switch.

Perk #4: Better Signal Quality
If you're paying money for your cable, you want it to be the best of the best, right? However, Wyatt says that many customers aren't aware that all cable carrier's HD quality is not the same. And we'll fill you in on a little known secret: Different providers can compress signals that may affect your in-home signal quality.
That means that depending on the cable provider, new customers may see better signal quality thrown in as a perk for signing up.
Wyatt gives an example of this scenario at play in his own life:
"I recently changed my provider from a traditional cable provider to DIRECTV due to the signal quality. The difference is night and day. Now, I get true 1080p and 720p, which are the highest quality HD video signals available. I wouldn't have gotten an upgrade in quality had I stayed an existing customer with my old cable company."
Pro Tip: According to Wyatt, Verizon FiOS, AT&T, and DIRECTV have the highest signal quality.

Among other things, Rio-1992 gave us the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which later spawned the Kyoto Protocol and two decades of mostly frustrating climate change negotiations. Meanwhile, species diversity continues to decline and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and the global average temperatures continue ever upward.
There have been positive changes, of course. The idea of "green economy" did not exist in 1992. Nor was it possible to build a LEED certified green building, such as the one at Yale University where the US/Canada Citizens Summit on Sustainable Development took place over the weekend. The movement back to organic foods, the growth of alternative energy technologies, and an expanding global ecological consciousness, driven in a large part by the internet and social media, could hardly be imagined.
Other changes have influenced the direction we have taken as a species in this short time. There are 1.2 billion more people on the planet today than in 1992. And while urbanization has expanded around the globe, economic growth has pulled 400-500 million people out of poverty. There are 6 billion cellphones in the world; there were hardly at the first Rio conference.
As globalization has continued apace, capital has been concentrated in increasingly fewer corporate hands. Walmart is a more significant economic player than 100 nation states; the Bill Gates Foundation has more resources than the World Health Organization.
Around 150 people from a variety of fields were invited to the two-day session at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Founded in 1701, Yale boasts three presidents (Ford, Clinton and Bush Jr.) among its alumni, as well as hundreds of legislators, judges, academics and others of note.
Yale is in many ways an oasis, seemingly remote from the grittier parts of New Haven that surround it. New Haven has the reputation of having one of the highest crime rates in the country. The real world has inserted itself in the form of an Occupy encampment on the Common, right outside the entrance of one of the university's oldest halls. At the time of writing, the Occupy New Haven website (www.occupynewhaven.org/) stated that the camp has been in place for 162 days but faces eviction on 28 March.
The contrast between the Occupy camp with its weather-worn tents covered in blue tarpaulins and the pink sandstone facades of Yale beside it speaks to one of the issues that underlies this year's Rio +20 discussions, which will take place in June. The common definition of sustainability links environmental, economic and social priorities. All three are necessary concomitants for sound policy making. Or put another way, sustainable development is a three-legged stool. All three legs need to be of equal length or the stool will tip over.
The Citizens Summit opening panel of speakers tackled an important question: Why are really no nearer to our goal than we were two decades ago?
Nick Robinson, from Pace University and the former head of the Sierra Club in the U.S., was in Stockholm at the first global environmental conference in 1972 (the one which created the United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP). He called this "a reset moment" -- a chance to slow down the unsustainable degradation of the planet.
Much of the opening session was taken up with assessing why we aren't there yet. The problems since 1992 were summed up by Dan Esty, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency. Esty was Deputy Head of US delegation to the 1992 Earth Summit and pointed out the problem is not lack of political will. Using this argument is a cop out, he said. "Don't say we didn't get there because of a lack of political will, tell us why we didn't have it."
Esty's reasons for lack of progress include:
The world is a complex place. "We have overplayed our hand on science." While a firm analytical basis is necessary, "uncertainty is the foundation of good policy. The disagreements about science are really disagreements about policy choices. Unfortunately, "environmentalists often offer solutions that are insufficient in the view of all those who need to be brought along." Solutions and choices need to be "economically viable."
The politics has been "mishandled." The 1992 Rio Earth Summit was "the high water mark for environmental action" and government, business and civil society were on the same page. Unfortunately, progress has been "hamstrung by special interests that have framed the debate in negative terms."
The debate needs to be reframed, Esty said. "There has been too much emphasis that good science will motivate action." This has led to a sense of righteousness on the part of proponents "that is not carrying the agenda."
As we met, negotiations on the draft text for Rio +20 were continuing and the "Zero Draft" for the summit, now nearly 200 pages, is being discussed in great detail and at great length. Unfocussed and with too many priorities, the document is also uninspiring, we were told.
Luis Alfonso de Alba is a member of the Mexican delegation negotiating the document. He said the lack of ambition in the document could lead to "the lowest common denominator to make it look like we are delivering." But why settle for that?
"We are at a critical juncture," de Alba said as he wrestled with his 18-month-old son for ownership of the microphone. "We could have something that makes a difference." It just requires will.
A common theme.
The conference organizers want this to be a first step in pulling together a movement from Canada and the United States, two countries which for their own reasons and politics have governments that are seen to have failed to live up the commitments made in Rio in 1992. Whether that happens or not, will be up to the participants and the commitments they make.
Finally, I couldn't help but notice a changing of the guard taking place. Those with grey hair were outnumbered by younger people. While the conference began with a questioning of where we have been, what hasn't worked, and why, it ended on a more upbeat note.
The last word went to Sharon Smith who is completing her Master of Environmental Management at Yale. She is the author of The Young Activist's Guide to Building a Green Movement and Changing the World.
Smith pointed out that young people do not need to make "reasonable" demands for change. They need to make unreasonable demands -- think big, not small. Not breaking windows, but pulling down barriers between people and communities. To have an influence, young people need to "go beyond expectations" and outside their networks, and mobilize and connect in ways that could not be imagined in 1992. That this the way of the future, she said.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Got size L/XL & it's a little big. Actually sit right down on my head, no stretch. I wear a size 7 1/2 in fitted hats, so I was surprised this was too big. I soaked it in hot water except for the bill & wore it until it dried. It shrunk a little. I will do this a few more times, should be good. The quality of this hat is worth twice what the price is. Love it!
From: Chad: Acworth, GA
Comments: By far an awsome cap. The look is so clean that the picture does not do justice. The quality is there and you can see it in the workmanship of the cap. Great buy for sure. Watch out though because they do run big. I got a s/m and it runs big, more like a med/lrg. I give 13 Fishing two thumbs up on their caps. I have owned many of caps in my time and these rank at the top.
From: Todd: Phoenix, Az, USA
Comments: This is a great hat. I got the L/XL hat I have an extremely large head and when I saw it was "prefitted" I was woried. Threw it on my dome and low and behold it fits like a glove. They make great rods and a great hat.

Excellent minimal running shoe
"I chose this shoe after researching and searching for a minimal running shoe, and I could not be happier. Despite missing the "Minimus" name, product reviews suggest it is built on the same last, and it certainly feels that way.Things I love about it: my foot can flex fully (standing on the balls of my feet), the toe box is a little wider than normal (hence my rating of "slightly wide") but fits snugly through the heel, and it is VERY lightweight.I wear these running, at the gym and casually about town and find them very comfortable. They don't offer quite enough padding for activities that involve a lot of jumping, however. And I do agree with the one consistent piece of negative feedback: the shoelaces don't want to stay tied! I double knot them and forget about them."

"This was expensive for the material and quality of work. It was really cheaply made. It was too tight and not comfortable while running at all. I felt like it didn't afford any support at all."
