"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield, or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the LORD. For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David." And the angel of the LORD went forth, and slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went home and dwelt at Nineveh. And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, slew him with the sword, and escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: Set your house in order; for you shall die, you shall not recover." Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in thy sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: "Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and defend this city.

There is a lot of speculation, questions and explanations about the title of the book.
I received one such question/opinion from an expert in the USA and referred it to the author and received the reply quoted at the bottom:
Received by email:
After forwarding the above to Antony Altbeker he replied with:An interesting observation - I presumed the title "Fruit of a Poisoned Tree" came to the mind of Antony based on a US legal ruing, cited in a Supreme Court case, but from looking at the scripture quotation in the beginning, it appears it might not have.
The term "Fruit of the Poisoned Tree" in US legal jargon and is explained below. If as a result of something illegal, i.e. search without a warrant, illegal arrest, etc., the police then discover additional evidence that is incriminating, that additional evidence would not be allowed in court. Although in the case of Fred, all the evidence was either fabricated or otherwise misused or mis-evaluated, I thought you might want to know how the term is used. See further explanation below.
For instance - "The "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine is an offspring of the Exclusionary Rule. The exclusionary rule mandates that evidence obtained from an illegal arrest, unreasonable search, or coercive interrogation must be excluded from trial. Under the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, evidence is also excluded from trial if it was gained through evidence uncovered in an illegal arrest, unreasonable search, or coercive interrogation. Like the exclusionary rule, the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine was established primarily to deter law enforcement from violating rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The name fruit of the poisonous tree is thus a metaphor: the poisonous tree is evidence seized in an illegal arrest, search, or interrogation by law enforcement. The fruit of this poisonous tree is evidence later discovered because of knowledge gained from the first illegal search, arrest, or interrogation. The poisonous tree and the fruit are both excluded from a criminal trial."
The title is supposed to suggest a whole lot of things. One of those is the legal question of evidence obtained under unlawful circumstances. Of course, this is not what happened in Fred's case, but most readers won't know that until late in the book when i explain it. More importantly, I'm trying to suggest in the book that the conduct of the police has its roots in the organisational culture of the institution which, in turn, has its roots in the nature of policing in SA for the past few generations. There is also the biblical allusion, which, as you know, plays into a sub-theme of the book.

Super Comfortable Pump
"First I bought these in brown during a clearance. When I received them and wore them to work a few times I knew I had to have them in black, too, so now I own both.These are incredibly comfortable pumps. They are well-cushioned, really soft surrounding your foot, and nothing cuts in anywhere. They're perfect.They're also a great height; not too high to look professional, but not so low that they offer no boost for someone small like myself.The menswear detailing is absolutely gorgeous.I just completely love this shoe. Highly recommended in both colors."

- Weight:
Comments: This is the best glove I've owned so far. It has a lot of
padding so very protective, and comfortable. The pocket is deep and the
glove is huge so it's easy to cover the net and catch a ball. The
synthetic leather seems to be great quality. The only thing I'd wish it
had would be an adjustment around the wrist to make it tighter or
looser, in my case it's kinda tight because I'm using a ice hockey chest
protector that is bulkier. It also takes a lot of time to break in
(especially opening it). Nothing that can't stop methods at home though.
Otherwise the product is worth the money, I highly recommend it.

It's not usual to witness five-, six- or even seven-run rallies in high school girls softball games but Douglas County strung together 14 unanswered tallies to win the two-day, 15-team Don McCall tournament held in Castle Rock.
The Huskies, trailing 8-1 heading into the bottom of the third inning on Aug. 31, scored 14 runs in four innings to defeat Continental League rival Legend, 15-10, in the championship game played at the Douglas County softball diamond.
"We scored 14 unanswered runs and this team believes in themselves," said Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins. "There is no quit. They made their minds up the first week of the season that they were not going to lay down for anybody. They are going to play hard and they did that."
Legend sent 12 batters to the plate in the third inning, ushered tiring Huskies' starting pitcher Corell Breanna to the bench and scored seven runs to grab its 8-1 lead. Jesse Smith's two-run homer and two-run single by Steph Cardona highlighted the uprising.
Douglas County, now 7-0 on the season, scored nine runs in the fifth inning. The Huskies paraded 15 hitters to the plate and seven reached base before the Titans got an out. Smith relieved starter Janelle Gardner after Jenny Trapp's double with the bases loaded scored three runs.
"Everyone got on base that inning," said Trapp. "We just kept on hitting. We didn't give up. I was just trying to hit the ball in play and elevate it so I could at least score a run if they caught it. I was lucky the hit got past them."
In five tournament games, Trapp was 9-for-16 and scored seven runs.
"We've talked about Jenny since she was a freshman," said Stebbins. "She'll be a four-year letter winner this year. I've had a lot of good softball players but she's the most complete softball player we have. She can play about five positions defensively. She is great to have in your lineup because she has great at-bats."
Sam Hardy relieved Breanna, who had pitched nine innings in a 9-7 semifinal victory over Ponderosa earlier in the day. Hardy, a junior, allowed five runs and three hits in the third inning but then started keeping Legend batters off balance with her change-up in shutting out the Titans for three innings.
"The change-up is my go-to pitch," said Hardy. "It's my favorite and I love the reaction I get from batters. They are just completely taken off guard. I didn't really mentally prepare myself as well as I should have when I came in to pitch. It really did take me a while to settle down."
Legend (6-3) did score twice in the seventh after two girls were out but the Titans seemed to lose motivation after their seven-run third inning.
"It was like we felt like we'd already won the ball game or it was the lack of intensity," said Legend coach Shelly Boyd. "I'm very proud of them. We're a very young team. This is the first time Legend has been in a championship game. Legend softball is on the map now.''
Ponderosa, which gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth in a semifinal loss to Douglas County, scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to capture third place with an 8-7 victory over Castle View.
The Mustangs committed 17 errors in the two games played Aug. 31.
"We played OK," said Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. "I liked the way we didn't give up. We kept a good attitude on the bench and the team. I'm disappointed with the errors again. We had eight errors in that game against DC. That can't happen. It happened last year and we're working hard to get better and I thought we were better but not in that game. All in all, I'm happy with the team and where we're headed but defensively we have to get better."
Continental League teams Douglas County, Legend, Ponderosa and Castle View went a combined 11-0 in pool play to advance to the semifinals. The Huskies beat Palmer Ridge and Fountain Fort Carson by a combined score of 18-1. Legend outscored Denver East, Pine Creek and Lewis Palmer by a 26-5 margin, Ponderosa whipped Palmer, Florence and Pueblo Centennial, 14-2, while Castle View outscored Vista Ridge, LaJunta and Elizabeth, 30-1.
"It's a great tournament," explained Tabola. "There is a little talent disparity between the top four, five or six teams and the rest of them. It would be nice if that narrowed a little but I love the tournament. It gives us plenty of competition."
Ponderosa junior pitcher Ally Power threw a six-inning, perfect game in the 8-0 win over Pueblo Central. Power pitched 24 innings in the tournament, struck out 47 batters and allowed one earned run. She also hit two home runs against Douglas County.
"Ally had a good tournament," said Tabola. "She's doing everything we can ask her to do. She stepped up and threw hard this weekend and produced with the bat too. What I love, even though we had eight errors in the DC game, she didn't get down on her teammates. She doesn't storm around. That's hard because we should have won that game."

|5| Excellent
|4| Good
|3| Average
|2| Bad
|1| Terrible
Zaraki got weaker? really? he always seemed to be getting stronger... did Unohana do something to him during their fight? Maybe that's why he never unlocked him Bankai, it may have been sealed early on.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
So that's Zaraki's skill: He's part Saiyan! Now it all makes sense...
...wait, no. No, the other thing: No fucking sense at all.
Anyway, did he just resurrect himself from death in order to keep on fighting?! That is BADASS!!!
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Hm...so zaraki can't die and is basically a saiyan as mentioned? Probably has something to do with his zampaktou being seal for so long...still hate the fact that zaraki is eventually gonna 'kill' unohana. Seems kinda redundant to me. But i like how she is mopping the floor with him.
What was that? zaraki felt like he was stab through his neck by unohana? was it unohana's bloodlust? same thing happened to ichigo before when he felt zaraki's bloodlust as if he was stabbed through his torso..... MP says that kenpachi first and only felt fear against unohana... so that must be it.... he never felt fear against tousen's bankai or panic like what happened to the visoreds against tousen or against nnoitra or even yammy lols.......... and did unohana broke zaraki's blade and stab it in his back? men she's really fast.... zaraki's like a rookie against a pro..... and about unohana's last statement?
1. Zaraki won't die - true = trump card of gotei13
2. Everytime he cross the border to death he becomes stronger? = is this true or another miss translation by MP... waiting for MS... or is it a mistake that zaraki imposes to himself, his idea that if he comes closer to death he gets stronger... lol that almost sounds like saiyans.... can't wait for the past.... the flash back about unohana's sins
3. One more thing it is implied here that zaraki kenpachi has gone weaker than he use to be when he fought unohana, make sense way he lost/draw to ichigo.... unohana says she had no time to do tricks with her off/other hand during their fight before when she got that scar from zaraki.... is it because zaraki was more skilled and now he has gone weaker because of his lack of interest in training? or the lack of opponent that interest him except unohana yachiru?
I Still see inoue coming to the picture if in case it is unohana who gets down for the count.... shunsui would not make a decision to let probably the 2nd greatest asset after zaraki of gotei13 to die because of training.... i say pull her out of HM and send her to the muken... that would make sense and i'm sure my favorite captain shunsui is smart and cunning
I don't believe he actually died at all. It was a premition of what will happen.The closer he gets to situation where he really will die the stronger he becomes. His instinct and will to live conquers his fear of death and sends him into a blood lust. It's not that he becomes stronger and stays stronger. He just powers up for the fight pretty much. Unohana's sin is that she should have killed him when she had the chance. well my two cents anyways.
EDIT: also crazy predection out of left field. Unohana is Kenpachi's mothers <_<
Last edited by yutterh; 01-23-2013 at 07:54 AM.
About the last one....do you know I thought the exact same thing?
...i hope after this "kenpachi" thing is over we discover how zaraki could not speak to his zanpakotou.
nuff said.
Personally I think she stabbed him for real, healed him, placed his sword in his hand, and then woke him up. Oh Unohana, you like to play with your food, don't you?

Enjoy year-round nose, throat, and oral health with clinically studied BLIS K12 lozenges
Sinus Shield™, with therapeutic levels of the clinically studied probiotic BLIS K12, helps promote oral health and replenishes levels of beneficial bacteria for total nose, throat, sinus, and dental health. You'll enjoy the natural strawberry-vanilla flavored lozenges, as they…
- Promote healthy bacterial balance in the oral and sinus regions
- Provide immune system support
- Support healthy teeth, gums, throat, and sinuses
- Promote fresh breath
Why an oral probiotic is so important
Every day our mouths come into contact with billions of bacteria, and oral probiotics are essential to keeping your teeth, gums, and entire respiratory system healthy. Probiotics like BLIS K12 protect your body's "gateways" and support oral, nose, and throat health, freshen your breath, and support a healthy immune system.
How does BLIS K12 work?
BLIS K12 is a specific strain of Streptococcus salivarius, one of the dominant bacteria found in the oral cavity accounting for 15 to 40% of the total oral bacterial population, and the only probiotic developed to colonize in the oral cavity. Most probiotics work through competitive inhibition of undesirable bacteria, and S. salivarius does that as well. But BLIS K12 also produces two protective proteins—salivaricin A and salivaricin B, which help promote a healthy balance of bacteria, thus helping keep your mouth, sinuses, and throat healthy.
Impressive research results
The unique strain of healthy bacteria in Sinus Shield has been clinically studied with impressive results:
- In one clinical study, BLIS K12 was shown to promote a healthy environment for the throat and pharynx in adults when taken on a daily basis.1
- Additionally, in a study of subjects with bad breath, 85% of those taking BLIS K12 for two weeks had a significant reduction in the the foul smelling chemicals that cause bad breath, compared to 30% of those taking a placebo.2
I've always been a believer that the health of your mouth is a strong indicator of the health of your entire body, and that your mouth, nose, and throat are gateways to the rest of your body. That's why I feel Sinus Shield with clinically studied BLIS K12 is your best bet for sinus, nose, and oral health.

Science and Quality
Studies with S. salivarius K12 Show Increased Oral Health and Increased Immune Markers
In a study of 150 volunteers, those taking S. salivarius K12 (BLIS K12) showed improvements in dental health.1
Another small study revealed that within 24 hours of taking S. salivarius K12, markers of immune function increased.2 S. salivarius was found to increase salivary levels of interferon gamma, which suggests an enhanced immune response.

Ordered and received my 2011 PSE Dream Seaosn EVO back in December in full Mossy Oak Infinity and love it.
I have it setup at 60#/26.5" shooting a 383 grain arrow at 285 fps. I use this setup with 100 grain Rage 3 Blade broadheads for what I call "lightskinned game" such as antelope and whitetail.
I have a second setup for this bow, which is basically the same arrow but tipped with a 125 grain Rage 2 Blade broadhead for use on the "heavy skinned game" such as bear and elk. This one weighs in at 408 grains and flies at 280 fps
Very smooth drawing bow, PSE outdid themselves with the 2011 line this year.
If you haven't shot one, your missing a very smooth and fast bow.

Wanted to love these
"The good: they are just as gorgeous in person.The bad: the pitch is too steep for the heel height, so they are less comfortable versus other brands with the same heel height. Be sure to get a half size up than your usual, as they tend to run to true Euro size (I'm a true 8, and ordered a 38.5 which fit perfectly).The ugly: unless you plan on being dropped off at the door and sitting on a bar stool all night, these are best left on the show room floor."

Bag Love!
"I ordered online and worried about choosing a handbag from a photo. I love it! It's made of heavy leather and (due to the weight) hangs perfectly from the shoulder strap which is wide and comfortable. Great price too! I didn't know who "Walter" is, but a quick look at the website shows bags priced around $300. Very happy!"

World Series notes for MondayNovember 1st, 2010, 7:50 am by Sam Miller, The Orange County Register
• "The best way to describe this thing is two words: Mike Murphy. He's been the clubhouse guy since they came out here in 1958. He really is the heart and soul of this group. You can see it in his eyes. If there's any such thing as having a family of 8 million people, that's the Giants. I don't think there's anybody who puts on orange and black and comes out to that ballpark and doesn't feel like they're part of this family. For this 53-year relationship that the Giants have with the city of SF, if this were to end tonight -- it would be something I couldn't put into words, and yet I know exactly how it's going to feel. It would be like what happened in Boston. It would be like what happened to the White Sox, only one difference: It's never happened in San Francisco." -- Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow, on KNBR this morning.
• Rangers decline to 'guarantee' a victory tonight:
I was in the Rangers' clubhouse postgame, and there was no Ryan Madson-style guarantee of victory. It was a somewhat resigned-seeming group, although I certainly didn't come close to talking to everyone. The general tenor was, "Well, it's going to be tough." There was your standard backs-to-the-wall stuff, and Josh Hamilton said he was optimistic, Tommy Hunter said if any team can come back from this it's the Rangers, but no one was terribly demonstrative.
• Win-or-go-home situation. Wouldn't be surprised to see Colby Lewis available in relief today, if necessary. Wouldn't be surprised to see Neftali Feliz throw five innings over the next three days. Would be surprised, but wouldn't be totally shocked, if Vlad were dropped down to sixth in the order. [Updated: OK, that last one ain't happening, if this is any indication.]
• Reliever Alexi Ogando (oblique) is done for the season. He'll be replaced by Dustin Nippert.Read the rest of this entry »

By The Associated Press
OXFORD — A lawyer wants to delay the trial of a man accused of making online threats to attack Oxford High School.
Joshua Brandon Pillault is scheduled for trial on Feb. 25 in U. S. District Court in Oxford. He has pleaded not guilty.
Pillault is accused of making the threats while playing the online game "Runescape." His lawyer wants more time to prepare.
Court documents say he made references to an attack on Oxford High School, where he is a former student.
The indictment says he mentioned acquiring guns, ammunition magazines, Molotov cocktails, and pipe bombs and using them to level the school.
Pillault underwent a psychiatric evaluation and the report was submitted to the court, but it was sealed.

@Tricia, I have heard stories about her … she was Sherry Lansing's particular pet at Paramount which is allegedly why she got cast in a couple of their films … one story which she told on herself in a magazine interview is about Paramount's 90th anniversary luncheon, where she was somehow seated at the wrong table with a bunch of boring accountants who were talking about work, when Sherry Lansing (then Pres of Paramount?) came and "rescued" her and seated her at a table with A-listers, and Ashley Judd actually said in the interview, for attribution: "And thus I was restored to my place in the pantheon."
Wow, tone deaf much? Who talks about themselves like that? The pantheon is the temple to the GODS.
And you also have to wonder how boring she is that a bunch of accountants seated at the same table with her would rather talk about work than talk to her.
Anyway, Paramount's 100th anniversary luncheon was last year, big 2-page photo spread in Vanity Fair, maybe 100 stars in the photo, and no Ashley. She hasn't had a leading role in a big budget Hollywood movie since 2004 and that one was the worst-reviewed movie of the entire year and lost millions. It only had a 4% Rotten Tomatoes rating!
So, back to Sherry Lansing and whether AJ is gay, bi or whatever. This possibly suspect source said that it is widely known in AJ's personal circles that due to childhood abuse she is hypersexualized and behaves in an inappropriate manner. I tend to think this is true because I have heard from other sources that she walks around nude all the time and even greeted a yoga instructor in the nude (he felt uncomfortable and left). And this I *KNOW* to be true because I'm friends with a woman whose husband worked on AJ's ex-husband's IndyCar crew for years. AJ was well-known among the pit crew for not wearing underwear and for "accidentally" flashing her private parts at them. Just – gross. Her ex-husband was so classy, how he ended up with her…well the story goes that he had a really bad racing accident while they were dating, concussion, memory loss, inability to focus, and he was not himself mentally for almost two years. They got married during this time period and then he was stuck with her – hee!
Anyway, I keep drifting off topic but the impression I got is that she was massively ambitious and basically would bang anybody in a position to get her an acting gig – gender unimportant.
Which doesn't make her all that unusual in Hollywood. And doesn't necessarily make her gay.
AJ is certainly crazy and takes more pills than you can count. I don't know that child sexual trauma made her hypersexualized as much as her borderline/narcissistic personality disorder did.
As for Lansing, plenty of girls have gotten up the Hollywood ladder her way. Rumored to have been Jodie Foster's rabbi for many years and Jessica Chastain's more recently.ReplyCancel

Velvet Laugher Master Series
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2002
Strictly limited runs from four of comedy's most happening stand-up acts:
, David Crowe
, Doug Stanhope
Original Review:
In these days when the word controversial clings like a limpet to any hack comic who dares to use the F-word or admits to dabbling in drugs, it's a blast of fresh air to witness the real deal.
Yes, Doug Stanhope is sweary, filthy and full of bile. But he's not just fierce, he's fiercely intelligent - and fiercely funny.
Every passionate outburst makes a point, as he savages social, sexual and Washington politics with an astounding fervour.
As he says, if you want straightforward gags about a dumb-ass president who chokes on pretzels, go elsewhere (and there's plenty of shows like this to choose from this festival). But if you want someone to give the very foundations of American beliefs a brutal kicking, from drink-driving to abortion, Stanhope's your man.
It's an aggressive, even nasty, routine, which does elicit a certain shock reaction. But it's not gratuitous, on the whole, instead using heady material in the context of advancing his powerful arguments. So you get buggery gags linked to his opinions on global overpopulation.
Well, OK, some of the sex stuff is apropos of nothing - including the base, but funny, money shot which brings his routine to a literal climax - but a lot of it isn't. The disparate gags - memorable as they are - also help him out of a narrative hole on more than one occasion.
This was Stanhope's first British appearance, and he did fumble a little with which references and routines would translate, and then trying rearranging the material that was left into something like a coherent show.
His stay is pitifully short - but if you're within travelling distance of Edinburgh this week, grasp any chance you can to see a genuinely outrageous, angry and above all funny comedian on brutal form.
Older Comments
Bill Dewar - 19/08/2002
In a festival full of people kidding themselves on that they are stand up comics, Doug Stanhope stands out as a worthy heir to Bill Hicks' throne - if you didn't see the show, you were caught napping this fringe my friends.
Grant - 17/08/2002
Saw Doug the following evening and from what I can gather the set was tighter from the start. He got a grip on the British/American differences quite sharp. Maybe creeping him up half a star. There is a lot Doug says I don't agree with, but it is funny and intelligent comedy.Highlight of the fringe for me, so far.

Comments: Great shoe. i come from a nike air max background a few years back, and the pounding was getting worse and worse on my herniated L4 and L5 discs. finally decided to go minimalist but was not ready as my achilles tendon and soles had not toughened enough, so i went with a newton transitional shoe (distancia) that cut the pounding but still had a higher heel by 4mm, so i wasn still getting a wisp of the heel touching the pavement. But worse, and i thought better at the time, was the extra cushioning the newtons have...what this led me to do was just as they say, continue to hit hard on my feet when i landed and i sensed my back pain could be cut even further if i went full on minimalist. Hence this shoe, which is 0 to 0 on differential from front to back shoe bottom. it is super light, very little cushioning which, even after over a year of the newton transitional shoe, made my foot and achilles work a bit, and the shoe made me work at running in the proper way, not pounding through over-cushioned shoes. The result was after my first run in them, despite very slightly sore achilles and soles, my back felt a lot better as i had to work to cut back on relying on over cushioned shoes. A run-on story mostly for those just entering minimalist running...but the point is these are the shoes i've chosen and they really are wonderful...not only in fit, comfort and looks, but in the result of allowing me to run minimalist properly and not injure my spine from over pounding. it appears these may be discontinued...if there is no replacement with 0 to 0 heel to toe height...i will go to another brand...but i hope NB has an offering by then.
From: Michael, Lake Balboa, CA, USA
Comments: Shoe looks good and the fit (10D) is fantastic for me, an asian chinese. Comfortable enough for me to run sockless with it. Did a couple of 5-7km road runs with it and feels great, but the shoe is so mininalist that I don't think it will last too long
From: Freddie, Singapore
Comments: I am about to buy my third pair of the mr00's an I can not say enough about them! I am on a limit on time so if have a normal width foot, and want to go minimal, get these shoes. They fit snug and are just brilliant. And to people saying these shoes hurt the outside of their feet, its your foot strike. You are landing on the outside of your feet and rolling inward. To get to the minimalist style run, you have to greatly reduce this. It isn't hard, just focus on it when you run. You will eventually drastically stop most of the over rolling and that is where the holes and pain is coming from. I have over 500 miles on my first pair and the holes started forming just after the state track meet. And the toe box is too small? Its a snug, lightweight shoe, why would they waste materials andsnugness on making a bigger toe box? Anyway love the shoes and cannot get enough of them. But we need more colors!!!
From: Dustin, Covington, Ohio. US
Comments: Loved the look and feel of the shoe as a recovery from my daily trainer the Altra Adam or Luna Huaraches but sadly even with the 2E width the overlay that drops right behind the lateral-side ball of the foot on both feet got some monster blistering on my second sockless run. Was going to give them another try with socks but the following day the blisters still hurt just walking barefoot and couldn't imagine the socks doing much. So I had to return them... I think if you aren't having hotspot issues like this it's a decent minimalist option from a big brand company. Sadly the Altra Adam is still the finest minimalist/barefoot-ish option on the market (which came out over a year ago). Can't wait for Brooks and Nike to get in the mix, good job NB!
From: Chris, Milwaukee, WI, USA
Comments: Update from my previous review -- while I do like these shoes, the upper has failed on both shoes at the outside and inside ball of the foot. This began at about 200 miles and at about 250 there are holes big enough to put my finger through. Before the holes developed the inner silky nylon linning failed at these same points on the inside.
From: Jereme, Cincinnati, OH, USA
Comments: Follow-up from my last review... did another 15 miler this weekend with absolutely zero problems. Run is still smooth and silent as ever. Was on the fence but will 100% be running in these in my next race.
From: Dennie, Cambridge, MA, USA
Comments: Finished a variety of runs in these over the past 2 weeks, transitioning from a very worn down pair of the original Minimum Trails. Right off the bat I noticed the ridge in the midfoot - but only on my right foot, oddly enough. Fortunately, it's never perceptibly interfered with my run. However, after my longest run in these shoes (15mi) i noticed significant tightness/cramping in the muscles on either side of my midfoot. Not sure if this was due to the shoe being narrow or my feet not being used to a true zero-drop. Overall, though, I love the shoe and unless I continue to have these problems on long runs they will be my workhorses. At the very least, they are great for shorter/faster runs.
From: Dennie, Cambridge, MA, USA
Comments: The shoes arrived today and they feel awesome! they run very smooth on the road and in the grass. They look awesome! They are so light! I recommend them to anyone who does crossfit, runs, or sprints!
From: Kyle, Savannah, GA, USA
Comments: Like many of the previous comments, I noticed that the NL-1 last they are using in the shoe is quit narrow which resulted in my foot hanging over the medial side of the last. Normally, this would have been a deal killer for me as the overhang would promote unnecessary pronation, but due to the low stack height the overhang of my foot didn't cause any noticeable pronation to occur.
The toe box is incredibly voluminous and felt great while walking, but I did notice a hard ridge/ring around the exterior part of the footbed where the upper met the sole. I took the MR00's out for a slow 5 miler, however 3 miles into the run the hard ring around the footbed started to manifest itself via a sharp sting on the lateral side of my left pinky. After another half mile it became evident that I would not be able to finish the run. I've never had a problem with blistering before, but these shoes produced several blood blisters on my fist and fifth metatarsals that were caused by my toes rubbing up against the hard ridge/ring of the footbed. Luckily after calling NB customer service they agreed to give me store credit on their online store in exchange for me mailing them my used pair. My advice to all is to order the 2E even if you are a normal D size width...or just buy a different shoe!
From: Marc, Charlotte, NC, USA
Comments: Really love the kicks, they are so low to the ground and really help me from transitioning from a heel striker to a mid foot striker I must say. When you first get the shoes It'll feel like your foot is a little off the edge but don't worry its perfectly normal. Just i wanted to wear 9.5 with no socks but its with socks so if you want no socks choose .5 smaller and with socks true to size. Word, Happy Running!
From: Luke, Fort Drum, NY, USA
Comments: I love these shoes. For me the fit is perfect. I have wide feet (and high arches) and the D was fine. Did a 9 mile progression run to test them out and had no issues. These will be my new tempo, speed work and racing shoes and I'm looking at the 730's as a recovery shoe. 2 thumbs up!!!
From: Jereme, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Comments: I had the same problem as Rik and Ken. The TR00 fits just perfect but the MR00 is to narrow under the arch so that the middle of my foot was hanging off the sides. I by no means have a big foot. I image unless you have a really narrow foot you are going to have the same problem. Running in the MR00 gave a weird pressure on the sides of the foot were my foot was hanging over the side. So if New Balanced widened the foot bed in the middle this shoe would be perfect. In the meantime I will stick with my Altra Instinct shoes which have plenty of room.
From: Josh, Dallas, Texas, USA
Comments: The good news: zero drop. The bad news: they hurt my feet i have runs of 4, 18, 10 and 6 miles in this shoe and i am always happy to get them off. i agree with Rik from RI, they are too tight through the mid-foot and i experience uncomfortable ridges underfoot resulting from midsole pushing up into the foot overhanging a narrow footbed. What's up with the banana shaped shoe?
After all the hype i am disappointed with the entire NB minimus line. i have purchased 5 minimus shoes and honestly the only pair that have not disappointed is the New Sky which is not a bad minimalist running shoe disguised as a casual shoe.
Bottom line: i really wanted to love this shoe and maybe run Boston in it but it's not making the trip. if you are looking for a zero drop with some cushioning pick up the Merrell Bare Access (for less bucks) which will be traveling to Hopkinton with me this year.
From: Ken, KC, MO, USA
Comments: Worried about fit or toe box room? Or support? Just wanted to let you know---I bought 3 pairs all at once---looking for right fit. The Trail, the MROO 11 2E and the MR00 11.5 D, and both were still too narrow, not in the toe box, but in the curve under the arch. Very narrow passageway from heel up into toe box. I could feel the sides and a bump under both left and right pads on each foot in the shoes. SO they went back, sadly so, because they were light and soft. BUT, the trail 11.5 D is a perfect fit. Go figure. Different last perhaps?
I wore the 11.5 and it was wide all the way, yes, a bit loose because I bought up one half size, but that is my idiosyncrasy, I like a loose fit. Roads or trails or grass, no problems for me. Thought I would be able to sense those bumps in the tread, but not at all. Light as a feather, and more toe box room than my Hattori's by far. I had to razor cut my Hattori's in several places to provide the toe box flex and space I needed. I tested MTOO on grass, rocks, hard packed cinder, and all were okay. Did not try rain covered cliffs or river beds.Did the flex and lightness and absence of support bother me? Not at all, but be careful, I have been running nearly bare for 2 years, and it takes real discipline ( no more than a mile a day for two weeks, then 2 miles a day for two more, no kidding) and some eccentric Achilles drops to ensure a smooth patient transition from cushioned shoes. And I had to learn not to land on just forefoot, but whole foot in a sequence.
From: Rik, RI USA
Comments: I bought these having first tried the women's NB 730s, which were too squishy underfoot for me and a little narrow in the toe box (I have fairly wide feet for a girl so usually buy men's shoes) - and, annoyingly, have no way of securing the tongue to the laces to stop it sliding around. I was a bit put off when I first put on the MR00s by the feeling of the sole rising up in the corner by my right big toe, but the sensation went away while running and didn't give me a blister as I'd feared. The green is brighter and better looking than it appears in photos. Compared to my Saucony Hattoris, which I run in a lot, these feel slightly less cushioned and a bit wider by the little toe. I was surprised by how soft the vibram rubber is on the sole, so hope they hold up ok as the miles add up. They feel very comfortable barefoot, but the ankle comes up a bit too high for me at the back and rubbed my achilles raw on the first run. They definitely don't interfere at all with a forefoot/midfoot strike, as you'd expect. Overall, very happy with these shoes so far!
From: Heather, Ohio, USA
