Things are constantly evolving with Cosmic Ears. A new website, new models, new options.... there's no way I can hope to keep up with all the developments - at least not in this opening post. Apologies, but you'll need to visit their website and maybe skim the later pages of this thread for the updated info.
I'm keeping the below info for historical purposes only. Some of the lower end models like the single driver dynamic and single driver BA models are not available at the moment, but should be soon - they are tweaking them now and hope to put them back up for sale in the near future.
A few days back, I posted a vague reference to a new custom IEM company that I wasn't able to name yet. I got several replies and messages about it but I wasn't quite able to post the info publicly until now.
The company is called Cosmic Ears. Based in Sweden, they have been around for a while serving their home market, but are now making a push towards international orders. There's been a lot of work behind the scenes for the past year in terms of building the website and building capacity to deal with more orders. The owner (who is English, thus no language barrier that sometimes comes with foreign companies) has a lot of business experience and wants more than anything to avoid some of the problems that have plagued startup CIEM companies (ahem.... Kozee Sound Solutions). By limiting aesthetic choices to a handful of colors and having a smaller set of options than most, they were able to set their prices very low.
Just how low do I mean? Prices start at just over $100 USD (plus shipping) for the entry level Pure model. That gets you a purple shell, a fixed standard cable that exits from the bottom, and most importantly: a single dynamic driver. Yes, you read that right. Cosmic Ears found a way to use a dynamic driver in a non-vented acrylic shell, and are using that as their base model.
From there one could step up to the Pure with the Plus package, which costs $130 (plus shipping). It swaps the dynamic driver for a single balanced armature unit and upgrades the cable to a Westone-style braided design, still bottom exit and non-detachable.
There's also a Sport/Sport Plus model which seems to be the same thing for $20 more. It gets you a detachable cable that connects on top like most other CIEMs do.
From they offer something called the Flex, which as it's name implies is highly configurable. It can be configured just like the Pure model but with your choice of colors. Or it can be configured with a "twin" BA driver ($150), dual BA drivers ($230), or triple BA drivers ($300). Any of these options start out with the basic fixed cable and purple color, but those can be changed for a small fee. They also have the rather unique options of a hybrid single BA/dynamic configuration ($250) or a hybrid dual BA/dynamic configuration ($310). Those are rare to find anywhere and when you do they are traditionally far more expensive than this. Finally, one can choose shell size from standard, medium or micro, the latter not being large enough to accommodate anything higher than the twin BA driver.
I've been in contact with Cosmic Ears and currently have a few sets incoming for review. They opted to have me check out the entry level Pure, the Pure Plus, the Flex with micro shell/twin BA drivers, and finally the flagship hybrid triple driver model. The Pure models are on the way to me now and should arrive this week, though unfortunately I have to wait a bit longer for the others.
EDIT: Here is what I'm getting or already have:
I've currently got:
- base model Pure with dynamic driver, basic fixed cable, bottom exit
- step-up model Pure Plus which means single BA driver, premium braided cable, still fixed and still bottom exit
These are both in the stock purple color and both in the medium shells.
I'm waiting on:
- Flex using the micro shell with the twin BA driver, red in color, has the basic stock black cable
- Flex Triple Hybrid (twin BA plus dynamic driver) with full sized shell, blue in color, recessed sockets, premium braided detachable cable with top exit
I'm excited to check them out as it seems Cosmic Ears has put a lot of effort into the designs. For example, the twin BA driver is not the usual TWFK, since the designer isn't a huge fan of that sound. So he found something else that he prefers the sound of, and still allows him to it his price point. That's another thing they have put a lot of effort towards - keeping the prices low. With just a few colors and cable options, they obviously aren't out to challenge Heir Audio in terms of aesthetics. And that's OK. Instead, they aim to serve the lower segment of the market that so far has not been handled very well. They are big on customer service including giving an "order tracking" number to allow status checks on your build. You can also get (for a small fee) a very cool 360 degree "spin" of your customs before they ship. I've got a few examples of mine HERE and HERE, and I think this is really cool technology. It's hard to be patient while waiting for customs to arrive, but this sort of thing helps.
So I received my package yesterday and got a chance to mess with them. Unfortunately I was pressed for time so I didn't listen to them as long as I would have liked. But my initial impressions are as follows, in sort of a random, stream of consciousness format:
- Build quality is quite high. These things feel really polished and smooth, similar to my Lear, UM, and Heir customs. That's good company to be in for a budget IEM. Having only a single driver makes them comically light weight.
- The purple is actually quite nice. The look changes based on the light - I first thought there was a mix up because they looked red, but then in different lighting they can look almost like translucent black. I was initially somewhat skeptical of "purple" but I can now say I dig it.
- Fit is great on both my sets. This is a relief because I had actually sent my impressions in many months ago, and I was worried about them shrinking. Apparently they didn't.
- The bottom exit cable? Awesome! I was able to sleep with these in, which is not something I normally do because of the over-ear memory wire on most cables. The downside (just due to the nature of having cables exit the bottom) is microphonics, which I need to test more before determining how these do.
- The base model cable is pretty nice. I expected thick and stiff, but it's more like flexible and pretty soft. Seems like it might tangle easily though. We'll see.
- The case, since someone asked about it, is fairly useful. The typical soft case is something like THIS, which can barely hold a pair of CIEMs. The Cosmic Ears case is soemthing closer to THIS which comfortably holds the IEMs plus a Sansa Clip+. You probably couldn't fit much more in there though. It's fairly tough though not completely crush-proof - If you sat on it or stepped on it, that could be bad.
- The texture on the faceplates is very subtle and at first I didn't even see it. Maybe lighter colors would bring it out more. It's covered in a smooth layer of acrylic so it doesn't feel rough, which the pics suggested it would. But it's like a nice surprise when you do get a glimpse of it - very much a nice touch that would not be expected on a budget item.
Impressions on the sound will be limited for now as I had far less time than I'd be comfortable with to really judge these. Still, here's a few thoughts:
- Base model with dynamic driver is not very sensitive - I had to crank my Clip+ to almost full volume to get a comfortable level out of them. This means they may not be loud enough when used with some cellphones. But most things should power them well enough.
- As expected, bass is pretty solid and hits hard, mids and highs are fairly laid back. These are not detail monsters. All I can say for now is that they don't sound terrible, and will definitely be worth using for a casual music fan who is upgrading from a crappy iBud or other cheap earphone (and that's really the target audience for this model). I did notice a nice wide soundstage with good imaging, which is surprising due to the somewhat recessed treble.
- These definitely need some breaking-in time - either real driver burn-in or perceived "in the head of Project86" burn-in. Keep in mind that I'm coming from the $900 Lear LCM-5 that I've been using for several weeks (review in progress), and the $450 Heir Audio 4.A prior to that. So this $100 custom will never sound as smooth or transparent as those. But we'll see how good it gets.
- The Pure Plus model sounds really great! I don't want to get overly enthusiastic because I clearly need more time with it, but my initial impression is very positive. It is not bass light (as I had anticipated due to the single BA design) but actually has some nice extension. On both ends. Based on my limited use the Plus option is worth every penny of the $30 or so it adds to the base model.
- I need to do some direct comparisons to my Kozee Infinity X1, which is also single driver BA model CIEM that goes for $190. I can't recommend anyone using this company due to a variety of service issues, but the product is still good and worthy of comparison. My initial reaction is that the Pure Plus is hands down superior - less glare in the upper mids, less grain, better micro-detail, and more transparent overall. But I need to confirm that with much more listening. If true, this would place the Pure Plus among the top tier of single driver BA designs that I've heard, such as Etymotic ER4, Phonak PFE, and Shure SE310.
Overall I'd say that both Cosmic Ears models seem worthwhile at this initial stage of evaluation. The Pure Plus is especially promising, but I'm going to spend more time with the base model first to try to get a handle on that. If I go the other way around I'll surely be disappointed with the base model.
I got some quick phone pics to give you some more details. Sorry for the mediocre quality...
Single bore for the sound tube, which makes sense as a single driver model.
You can sort of see the dynamic driver in there.
There it is again.
Notice the strain relief, basically two layers of it (colored and then clear).
Seems really sturdy.
Some internal wiring.
This is the basic cable. Y split is very sturdy, and it has a
nice slider. The actual plug itself is angled and somewhat
less "beefy" than the typical Westone style cable. Not bad though.
Compared to a full sized shell (from another brand). Notice the
top section is more low profile on the Pure.
Another view of the medium shell compared to a full size shell.
I've been spending time with both the Pure and Pure Plus models this week. I know I said I was going to focus on the basic Pure with the dynamic driver, but I've been swapping around between these, the 1964 Ear V3, and the Lear LCM-5. Talk about a disparity in prices - the Pure is $100, Pure Plus is $130, V3 is $425, and LCM-5 is $900. That's quite a range of price points and obviously these models are not intended to compete with each other. Still, it's been interesting to see what the extra money gets you, or doesn't in some cases.
PURE: For the basic Pure, I'm most impressed by the bass impact. It certainly rivals or surpasses anything I've heard from budget dynamic universals. It is definitely the selling point on this model. I'm happy to report that for the most part it stays clean and well controlled, only mildly bleeding into the midrange once in a while. Far better than the HiSound Popo in comparison, though I admin that I'm not a huge fan of that model (but some people are).
Mids and highs are smooth and somewhat recessed. I think the key here is that this is an inoffensive sound, which largely avoids the missteps usually made by cheaper IEMs. For example - I love the Meizu EP-40 which although priced at just under $50 is actually a rather advanced design. It has great bass as well, really tight and impactful though slightly less "in your face" than the Pure. The EP-40 has superior mids which are a bit more engaging and detailed than the Pure. Where it goes wrong is the upper mids/highs area: the EP-40 has a tipped up treble, with a certain edginess to it that can sometimes become fatiguing. The Pure may not be as crisp sounding but it certainly never gets annoying. The biggest complaint I can muster is that it just doesn't dig as deeply into the recording. But I think it's better to leave out some information than present it in the wrong way. So I'd say Cosmic Ears made the right choice here.
Soundstage on the Pure basic is surprisingly large - which is unexpected because that sort of thing usually disappears when you have recessed highs. I actually think the dynamic Pure may be more spacious than the armature based Pure Plus, though the plus model seems a bit more precise in terms of accuracy. This, along with the bass, is the best aspect of the Pure.
Overall I'm impressed with the Pure, yet I can't claim it will definitely blow away every single universal IEM out there within the price range. Universals in this segment have come a long way in the past few years, and models like the Shure SE215 are quite good for the price. But the Pure remains competitive in sound and obviously offers some clear advantages in terms of build and fit. I can easily recommend them for an entry level custom IEM, or for the casual listener, or as a second set of customs to be used for yardwork, gym duty, etc. I'm actually amazed that they can pack in this much good sound for the ~$100 price.
Pure Plus: Now here's where things really get interesting. At under $140 this thing is extremely competitive. In fact at this moment I can't think of a superior IEM for the price, universal or otherwise. It has more satisfying lows than the otherwise enjoyable Phonak PFE 122. It's about as clear as the Shure SE310, but with a somewhat more musical presentation... and without all the fit issues I had with those. It also seems a bit less analytical than the Ety ER4, though some people may prefer that for its more lively presentation.
I'd call the Pure Plus neutral for the most part, with a nice extension in the bass region and a relatively smooth top end. Vocals are just a bit laid back, which is why I said these are not as lively as the Etymotics. But I'm talking slightly laid back, not recessed at all. Bass extension is very solid too - they passed the "intro kick drum" test from Tears in Heaven off the Clapton Unplugged album. Some IEMs, even really great ones, kind of pretend those kick drums aren't there. The Pure Plus plays them at roughly the same level as my Audio Technica W1000x, which is to say not as loud or as deep as a HiFiMAN planar or a Lawton LA7000, but still present and clear.
Imaging is accurate but not extremely spread out - that's an area where the dynamic version excels. Still, it's not a noticeable deficiency, especially compared to similarly priced universals.
Again, build quality is superb, and the premium cable is every bit as good as a stock cable from Westone or JH Audio. The bottom-exit cable combined with the easy insertion of the "medium" shell makes this an easy custom to deal with, without sacrificing any of the quality on the cable.
I need to listen more but so far I'm exceedingly impressed. As good as the basic Pure model is, I can't imagine someone who would prefer it over the Plus for sound quality. That extra $30-something dollars definitely buys you a lot of quality. We'll see how well the twin driver model compares, but for now I think the Pure Plus is the best price to performance.
Further updates to follow when possible.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
At the recent Huntington City Council meeting, the subject of rezoning was addressed. Several businesses in Huntington City are being operated within the residential zoning area. These businesses were opened before zoning laws were enacted, and were grandfathered into the city's plan as a result.
Many of the owners of those businesses are now asking for a rezoning of their particular portions of a city block to accommodate expansion or remodeling. One owner, in particular, said she is planning to add on to her business and also build apartments for senior citizens. As the zoning of her property is now, she is not allowed to make the changes that she wishes. Several other business owners were at the meeting in support of her rezoning request.
When asked if she had inquired with the neighbors about the possibility of the rezoning, she stated that all of her neighbors also have businesses on their residential property. She stated that these business owners are in favor of the rezoning. As she explained her plans for an apartment building for senior citizens, Councilman Mark Justice stated, "It is a shame that a city the size of Huntington doesn't have something like this already."
Councilman Norman Dingman, who is the councilman over planning and zoning, stated, "We need some input from the state on this situation. Some of the businesses which have been mentioned are commercial businesses but others are industrial. Spot zoning of a city is really discouraged and has some gray areas associated with it."
The business owner stated that she hopes the council can help her because she has explored many other options and now has no other direction to go. Mayor Jackie Wilson asked if anyone in the audience had any comments on the subject of this rezoning.
One resident, who stated that he did not live near the business in question, but he did live near another in town. He stated that if the rezoning is allowed to happen, it would open the door to other property owned in Huntington City requesting the rezoning also. If the business that his property is near was allowed to expand under the rezoning, it would devalue his property by some $40,000-$50,000. "I am concerned for the private citizens in Huntington who live near a home based business. It is not clear at the present time if this rezoning is even legal," he said.
Councilman Justice moved to allow Huntington City to move into the process of rezoning and find out what steps would have to be taken, and follow them. The council approved to begin the investigation process for the rezoning. Mayor Wilson instructed the council to contact Meg Ryan and Sydney Fonnesbeck with the state for direction.
Another item of interest at the council meeting was a presentation made by Emery County Public Lands Director Ray Petersen. Petersen explained the ordinance which was recently approved by the Emery County Commissioners. This ordinance, with an attached map, deals with the use of ATVs on county roads. Petersen explained the ordinance and the process that had been followed. Bruce Wilson handed out maps that show the county roads and their designation as far as ATVs are concerned.
The purpose of Emery County designating county roads as open or closed is for ATV riders to gain access to BLM or forest service land that is open for riding. Access to open pubic land is the only reason an ATV should be on a road, either county, state or otherwise. No one is allowed to ride an ATV for errands around town or to go visiting. Riders can only ride on city or county roads to access open trails.
In Huntington, the road that is designated open to ATV travel to access open public lands on the east side of town is River Road. There are still safety concerns, but to allow access to open public land, this one was selected. On the west side of Huntington, Flour Mill Road (400 North), and South Flat Road are the ones that are open to access public lands.
Petersen noted that the map that denotes the roads in the county, also denotes the BLM roads and trails that are designated as open. It is the intention of the county to erect signs, with the help from state and OHV club grants and manpower, to mark the routes which are open, although the ordinance states that it is the responsibility of the rider to consult a map and know which are legal to ride.
Mark H Williams was at the council meeting to request support from the council concerning a right of way near Huntington. During the 2004 legislative session, House Bill 220 set aside $1.50 from each registered OHV into a restricted fund. This fund is very restrictive in its use, but one use is to purchase right of ways for OHV use. He stated that during Heritage Days, the SEUOHV Club sponsored a poker ride west of Huntington. This ride is mainly on School and Institutional Trust Lands Act lands. Another tract of land is located east of Huntington where the club hosts its spring poker ride.
Williams asked the council to consider giving their support to the project which will pursue a grant from the funds available to OHV use, and purchase the rights of way on these two parcels of land. These rights of way will guarantee the use of the trails in the future. He stated that many counties in Utah are following this course of action also. The council approved to support this effort. Petersen advised the council that this same proposal has come before the commissioners, and that a subcommittee is being formed to investigate the plan. Tori Killian is heading up that subcommittee and Petersen requested that a Huntington City council member contact Killian.
The next Huntington City Council meeting is Oct. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Huntington City Hall.

ray samuesl raptor headphone amp
Pros: tight bass and good dynamics
Cons: output tubes supply limited(nos only)
I have had my raptor for two and a half years with no reliabilty issues.The amplifier proper is very compact and lite weight so be aware it does not self anchor itself and is easy to move.The power supply is very substantial and is remotely locatable, it is tethered to the headphone amp by din type connector which securely twists in place on the amp module.
The amplifier seems to be pretty powerful and is signatured fairly neutrally for a tube amplifier.The bass is pretty tight for a tube amp and the amp has good dynamics.The sound stage is pretty good with good depth portayal and good dimensionality.The noise floor of the amp is fairly quiet and low level resolution is pretty good.
I have read that some people found the amp to sound more towards the solid state camp.I Could see how some people think that way because the amp sounds pretty neutral for a tubed amplifier.But I find the amp to be more three dimensional than the solid solid state amps I have heard.
I have akg 701,grado rs1i and audeze lcd-2 phones in my collection and I find at least in my system that raptor seems to be synergetic with the rs1i phones.The match is pretty dimensional(which is apparently from what I have read not a strength of the grado) the raptor seems to produce fairly dimensional sound from the grados.If anyone is looking for good amp to drive the rs1i I think you should check out the raptor I think you would not be disappointed.
I find the raptor to be less synergetic with the akg 701.The 701 is a fairly difficult phone to drive and I find that even the audezes are easier to drive.
These days I do not use the 701 phones very much especially since I got my audeze lcd2 rev2 phones.
I Imho believe that the akg needs a stout amplifier to wrest the best sound out of the 701.I did have some success with a shanling hybid tube amp(shanling ph300) which seemed to pair well with the 701 but I had some reliabilty and service issues with shanling and its distributors music hall so I returned the amp. I think having a solid state amp section with a tubed input stage seemed to balance out the akgs analytical sound signature.The pairing made listening sessions less fatigueing.
Well I am getting away from my raptor review.
Using the raptor with the audeze lcd2 rev2 makes for a pretty enjoyable session.The amp has enough drive capabilty but the levels are somewhat higher than for the rs1i.A good level was obtained around 10 to 11 oclock for most recordings.
The sound with the raptor was somewhat less elicit with the audezes than those phones are with my burson ha160 but the pairing was fairly enjoyable,The burson mates particularly well with the audeze lcd rev2 Imho and at the price is a very cost effecttive match for the audezes.
I must add that I am using a kubala sosna emotion power cord on the raptor and that I have upgrade the stock fuse in the amp with a hifi tuning gold fuse in my amp.To check for fuse size call ray samuels and he will let you know what the proper fuse value is for the amp.The fuse and power cord upgrade significanty improve the amplifiers performance.The noise floor drops and low level information is more apparent and things just tighten up and the sound becomes more dynamic.The kubala cord is probably way over the top(I just used it because I alredy had one) but may I suggest the emotiva power cord from emotiva on line.I purchased one very recently and have found the power cord to perform way beyond its
modest price.
In addendum to my previous review I have to reassess my findings about the amp.But my reassessment is much for the better.I have found the emotiva power cable to be much better suited to the raptor than my kubala sosna emotion power cable(amazing considering the emotion costs the dearer end of a thousand dollars and the emotiva power cord costed me only eighty dollars!!!).I have also upgraded the fuse from the hifi tuning gold fuse to the hifi tuning supreme fuse which in conjunction with the change of power cord have greatly elevated my opinion of the raptor otl amp.
The amp now has much more vivid sound without being overly analytical sounding.The amplifier has a very liquid sound signature that i find very much more palpable than it was before.The sound is very spacious with a large soundstage that is more dimensional.The dynamics are also much improved.The low level detail that I am hearing is so great that I can regularly discern extemely low level information during the most silent moments on audiophile recordings (rustling,shuffling feet, artists joking around etc.)
The sound from this amp especially with my grado rs1i phones is very realistic and very lifelike i have never heard the grados sound so lifelike before.I also tried it again with my akg 701s and it seems to work somewhat better with them now but i still prefer the amp with the grado rs1is.
I have not tried the amp with my lcd2 rev2 because my headphone cable went bad and while I have received a replacement cable for them i am so utterly rapt with the raptors performance with my rs1is I have been in no hurry to start the cable break in process with the lcd2s.I guess in due time I will eventually start breaking in the audeze cabling and then try it with the raptor once the cable is broken in.
This is another addendum to my previous reviews. It has as been awhile longer and I recently purchased a cable pro reverie power cable for another component but being curious I thought I would try it with my raptor to see how it sounded. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the raptor was pretty good at sound stage before but it is an entire different league now in that area. I listened to it till almost 4 oclock this morning and I was just amazed at the palpability that this power cord brings to the sound of the raptor. I listened to a vintage copy of frank sinatras only the lonely cd on capitol and I could swear I was listening to him in the flesh it was that good.
It has made such a difference that I consider the reverie power cable an essential must have tweak for raptor owners. You simply have not heard the raptor till you upgrade the cable to the cable pro reverie power cable.
For any owners who take my suggestion to heart there is a thirty day free trial period from cable pro. So what have you got to lose but be patient like all cables they take a while to flesh in but with maybe twenty or thirty hours you should hear a noticeable difference in the raptors performance.
I would appreciate any comments from anyone who takes my lead and tries the reverie power cord on their raptor. it has been the better part of three years now and I am still finding things out about this exceptional amp.

It's a "light" comedy opening Friday that stars Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Tom Wilkinson, which is to say The Avengers for those whose balls are particularly pruney. It is this summer's first, but not only, Dreaded Movie For Grownups. Advertisement The Dreaded Movie for Grownups shows up every year. Usually it announces itself as part of a sidebar in a larger summer movie preview. (Here's a representative sample.) These are summer movies for the people who disdain summer movies, the people who have this (mostly false) notion that summer movies are somehow dumber than the movies any other season of the year. On a basic level, these films are simply counterprogramming, Lifetime running a Meredith Baxter-Birney marathon opposite the Super Bowl, Spike TV showing Rambo opposite the Oscars.(Side note: I'm still not sure people appreciate just how fantastically violent Sylvester Stallone's 2008 Rambo was. There was honestly a second after I watched that movie when I wondered if Stallone was some sort of surrealist genius.)In 2009, we had Julia & Julia, Away We Go, Taking Woodstock—aka, that fortnight when people actually thought Demetri Martin was the next big movie star. Last year, it was Larry Crowne; Crazy, Stupid, Love; Everything Must Go and the premium example, the one everyone's trying to be this year, Midnight In Paris. (Fine, yes, I loved that one. Others convincingly disagree.) This year's entrants: Marigold Hotel, Hysteria, Hope Springs.The thing about these Dreaded Movies For Grownups is that they're just as cynical and calculated as the big special-effects-addled Hollywood movies they're supposedly so much smarter than. They're movies for people who think they're above summer movies ... but don't actually want to go through the trouble of visiting an art house. They're the cinematic equivalent of buying Ikea rather than Target, Chipotle rather than Taco Bell, Coach rather than Old Navy. You think you're getting something better, but you're not: You're just taking comfort in a brand name. Advertisement Collectively, this summer's big three Movies For Grownups mark off all the major boxes on the You're Better Than Michael Bay checklist:• Period piece. (Hysteria.) Advertisement Sponsored • "Alternative" movie star who positions him/herself outside the action-movie realm. (Hysteria, Hope Springs.• Lots of middle-range actors gathering and combining their powers like Voltron. (All three.) Advertisement • Aging movie stars clinging desperately to the notion that you still recognize them, also known as the Larry Crowne principle. (Exotic Marigold, Hope Springs.)• Meryl Streep. (Hope Springs.)• Vanilla inoffensiveness, wrapped up in a "light comic" package. (All three, and all the movies we're talking about here.) Advertisement These are movies for your mom. (That is to say, whether you want to admit it or not, every year they're a little bit more for you.) When you can't agree on what to see, they're something everyone can agree not to care about enough to hate.Timid ambitions make for tepid results. Last year, the vulgar big-summer-movie industrial complex gave us the genuine entertainment of Bridesmaids and the final Harry Potter film. Two years ago came Toy Story 3 and Inception. In 2009, Star Trek, Inglourious Basterds and District 9. All of those films—and some of the more anticipated films this year, like The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus and The Avengers—were braver works of art than your frothy little Meryl Streep boomer romantic comedy.

It's time to blow shit up. It's what we do best, and dammit, it's just honest.

Elegant but too pointy
"I liked these shoes a lot but had to return them for two reasons:First the size. I'm a size 8.5, which they don't have, so I ordered a 9 and it simply was too long. Not their fault really, but I think the size 8 would be perfect for me, as they do run long.The second reason is the toe shape. The profile is very elegant and sleek and I love it, but they're too pointy when you look straight down instead of sideways. I like pointish shoes, but these are too just pointy for my taste, and also being a narrow shoe makes them look even pointier. Just a personal preference really, other people might like them. They are also very comfortable.To sum up, I loved the color (I ordered burgundy) and the elegance of the profile, I didn't like the too pointy toe and being too long. It's with sadness that I say goodbye to them but alas, I have too."

very fasionable
"Very stylish, but the shoes run narrow and long. The shoes come only in whole sizes and I ordered a half size down. Glad I did, because the shoes do run long. However, you should consider that these are also narrow. I get complements on the shoes."

The Oilers played one of their most complete games of the season en route to a 5-1 victory in Dallas. They worked harder, won more one-on-one battles, and they finally had a few breaks go their way.
Their 9-game road trip is off to a great start.
They got three points in two games that most of us, me included, didn't expect them to get. The Blackhawks are the best team in the league, but the Oilers escaped with a point on Monday and tonight they went into Dallas, historically a place they lose before the puck drops, and dominated the Stars.
- The Stars got two lucky goals in Edmonton a few weeks back, and tonight the Oilers had the breaks go their way. Sam Gagner's opening goal and Jeff Petry's backhand haven't gone in for the Oilers this year, but tonight they did. Sometimes you need a few breaks to give you some confidence and allow you to relax.
- The Oilers earned their breaks though. They were excellent at creating turnovers tonight, and the dogged work of the Hall/RNH/Eberle trio along the boards led directly to Justin Schultz's first non-powerplay goal of his career. It was a great pass from Eberle, but all the hard work leading up to the goal is what mattered. More of that and the Oilers will score more regularly at ES.
- I know many don't want to see Sam Gagner fighting, but I don't have an issue with him standing up for himself. He fights once, maybe twice a year, and he does it when he feels an opponent is taking advantage of him. He was clearly upset at Dillon when he asked him to go, and I wish more of his teammates' "Give-A-Shit" meter was as high as Gagner's.
- It is just about fighting that shows me Gagner cares. He hacks and whacks guys and he isn't afraid of anyone. Showing no fear can be infectious and the more he does it, the more his teammates should follow.
- I also don't believe Gagner's fight wouldn't have happened if the Oilers had a tough guy. He acted in the heat of the moment. He was annoyed and took matters into his own hands. Having a tough guy on the bench wouldn't have changed it. The Oilers need more grit and toughness, but not a guy who plays four minutes a night.
- I know many want Jamie Benn suspended for his cheap cross-check on Ryan Jones. I doubt he gets the Shanaban, but I have a different take on the play. When was the last time you saw an opposing player that annoyed and frustrated. The x-check had as much, if not more, to do with the Oilers dominating play all game than Jones' love-tap into Lehtonen. It was only one play, but the Oilers clearly frustrated one of the Stars best players. That is a good sign.
- Jones' greasy style of play is a welcome addition to this team, and while he hasn't shown up on the scoreboard his tenacity helps this team. They are 2-0-1 since he returned. He isn't the main reason for this mini hot streak, but his play has given the Oilers more life.
- I'm curious to see who comes in for Potter tomorrow. I suspect it will be Whitney. Potter's head hit the top of the boards, and I doubt he plays tomorrow in St.Louis. You never want to see a player get injured, especially on an awkward play like that.
- That might be Ales Hemsky's quietest 3-point night. That isn't a bad thing, but usually when he puts up three points he's all over the ice. He hasn't produced a lot v. the Stars, 16 points in 27 games, but tonight he scored a beauty and was solid. If he and Gagner keep producing and that kid line scores like many expect, the Oilers could make a good run.
- I'd rather see Eager take that penalty than a one-handed hooking call. In a perfect world he doesn't take it, but I like that Krueger kept playing him and the fourth line rewarded him with a goal. Last year Renney likely staples him to the bench, but Krueger let him play. That goes a long way with players, when they know if they screw up the coach won't automatically sit them.
- Devan Dubnyk looked great tonight. He was tracking the puck, had excellent rebound control and he looked poised all game. He made some huge saves in the first ten mintutes when the Stars were pressing, and that allowed the Oilers to get comfortable.
- I thought Lennart Petrell had another solid game. He isn't flashy, and many seem to want to take him out of the lineup, but he does a lot of little things well. Chipping in with two assists is a major bonus from him.
- The Oilers 5-on-3 PP needs some work. They went 0 for 3 with two extra men, and although the final 5 on 3 was excellent, hit two posts, the first two when the game was closer weren't great. They didn't have any urgency during the first two, and I was surprised that Yakupov didn't get an opportunity on either one. He might be their most dangerous shooter.
- He didn't register a point, but I thought Nugent-Hopkins had an excellent game. His work along the boards led directly to the Schultz goal and his defensive zone play impresses me more every game. He almost works harder in his own end than he does in the offensive zone, and that is very rare for a young offensive-minded player.
- The key for the Oilers is to try and play the same way tomorrow in St. Louis. The Blues got shutout at home by Chicago tonight, so both teams will be playing back-to-back. If the Oilers can find a way to win tomorrow, suddenly the road trip from hell could turn into the road trip to competing for a the playoffs.
- Crazy day for the Flames. They sign Ryan O'Reilly to a two-year, $10 million offer sheet in the afternoon. The Avs matched it less than seven hours later, not a real surprise to me, and to make matters worse the Flames then blew a 3-0 lead in Denver and lost 5-4. A double whammy for the Flames.
- I didn't mind the offer sheet attempt by Jay Feaster. I don't believe O'Reilly is a $5 million player yet, but Feaster stuck to his guns of not just accepting a rebuild. He tried to improve his team, and no doubt O'Reilly would have made them better. Trading him for a 1st and 3rd rounder would have been a good deal, but I wasn't shocked the Avs matched it.
- Many suggested the 2nd year at $6.5 million will make it hard to re-sign him because you'd have to give him a matching qualifying offer. But what if the Avs just take him to arbitration. That would solve it, since I highly doubt he puts up big enough numbers to justify getting $6.5 million in the future.
- The Avs can't trade him for a year now, but with the Olympics coming up next season the trade deadline likely moves into early March, so if things are still sour they could look at a trade next year. And I suspect they will get a better package than a 1st and 3rd round pick.
Nevermind I got it wrong, but if O'Reilly goes to arbitration the minimum he could get is like five and a half million dollars, 85% of his previous year.
Also I was pretty impressed with Gagner tonight, but even moreso with that Dillon fellow he fought. He seemed to be unwilling to blow up Gagner's face even thought Sam was gassed and he had a pretty clear advantage. He accepted the fight but didn't try to end a guys season about it.
Gregor I will give you props. Rather than scream and complain like most homer announcers you stay even keel when an Oiler player delivers a cheap shot or receives one. I respect that you don't over blow it either way.
I might not agree all the time, but I prefer someone who doesn't let their emotions decide their opinion.
And I agree completely on Gagner. At times I wonder if he is big enough long term, but I never question his work ethic. If he was two inches taller I think he'd be considered elite, cause he could dominate more. But that's a big if...
"That might be Ales Hemsky's quietest 3-point night. That isn't a bad thing, but usually when he puts up three points he's all over the ice. He hasn't produced a lot v. the Stars, 16 points in 27 games, but tonight he scored a beauty and was solid. If he and Gagner keep producing and that kid line scores like many expect, the Oilers could make a good run."
- not sure if you heard Hemsky's postgame but he said Kreuger had them "trapping" tonight which he (Hemsky) felt allowed him not to be chasing so much and allowed him to have more energy to counter attack for more offence
. . . interesting I believe the last time we did that was 2006 Playoffs vs Detroit!!!
March 01 2013, 12:04AM
I didn't mind Benn's cheapshot, it's a part of the game. I like that a skill player makes a statement for the next time they play the oil. But even more I like the statements made by Fistric and Eager, well timed rough stuff; that's the way those two are most valuable. Overall an impressive oiler effort, if these types of efforts become more frequent the playoffs are not impossible.
March 01 2013, 06:33AM
...a complete surprise
I don't understand how people think the Benn "hit" isn't a suspension. It wasn't a hockey play, Jones was completely blindsided, and it was an obvious intent to injure. The hit wasn't vicious, but was totally unrelated to anything happening on the ice; it would be like cross checking him in the hallway for no reason. I'm thinking 2 games.
Benn listed at 6'2 205lbs, Jones 6'1 201. If you liked the fact Taylor Hall risked suspension to make a point you have to like Benn's play too.
Not sure you can even compare the two. Hall made an open ice hit that he maybe led with his leg a little on.
Benn did a cowardly bit of stick work to a defenseless man, direectly from behind.
One man's a warrior.
One man's a coward.
If the NHL doesn't suspend then its wrong not to do so. It would be a terrible message to young fans.
The best part about this Oiler 5-1 win is that the Flames LOST!
March 01 2013, 10:38AM
Gagner. What can you say about this cat? All heart, man. He plays a foot taller then he actually is. The refs stepped in early, but the fact that he drops the gloves with a bigger dude speaks volumes. He even snaps off his chin strap before they come together. Classy.
February 28 2013, 11:47PM
Let me just say, Benn's play wasn't all that awful. However, it was a blatant attempt to injure. Perhaps that will play into this Jason?
great game we have been waiting for this one all year!!!!
- agree on Yaks would have been good to see him on point on the 5-3 with that shot Kreuger needs to get this guy going because if you got 3 lines scoring - WOW
- not sure i'd go with Whitney but with that big salary we need to do something maybe this recent team success will give him some confidence to engage and be more of a threat rather than a guy who's playing safe trying not trying to make a mistake
- Gregor do you think Gags has the stuff to put that C on? he's been the best Oiler this year every game and especially tonight
- finally i hope Jones is ok he has been doing so many little things that I really think he's been a real catalyst for the recent success
Don't they have to make a qualifying offer to even go to arbitration? If ROR doesn't play up to 6.5 million then why would he not accept the QO and take his cash to the bank?
@Reg Dunlop
I disagree. With his size advantage why not man up and just drop them and go. Collision with goalie was not even a hit - Jones and Lehtonen actually high five in the net before he leaves the crease - replay shows he trips on Robidas stick.
Attempt to injure on a defenseless player who's back is turned - minimum he gets is a fine. If repeat offender (which I think he is) - he gets 1 game.
I thought it was a good penalty for eager, that's the stuff I want to see out if him. Then baam slap shot
March 01 2013, 01:19AM
Benn listed at 6'2 205lbs, Jones 6'1 201. If you liked the fact Taylor Hall risked suspension to make a point you have to like Benn's play too.
March 01 2013, 01:43AM
Nuge went 14-5 on the dot! That's a couple of good games in a row.
March 01 2013, 03:44AM
There have been worse hits than Benn's for sure, but as others have mentioned, it was a direct attempt to injure, whereas Hall's hit against Minny was not. That's why this whole suspension thing sucks. Halls hit looked worse but was not a direct attempt to that... Too me Benn should get a couple games but he likely just gets fined. They have to do something.. otherwise they are saying its okay to smoke someone from behind like that intentionally.
March 01 2013, 06:46AM
@ Jason Gregor
I liked your comments about Lenanrt Petrell. Watching the game last night I wish that he could show those flashes of offence more often because that gives him another dimension from his grinding, defensive game.
I really like Petrell, and want to like him as a regular player on this hockey team. He never takes a shift off and is always willing to throw a hit or block a shot.
The problem is that he needs to take those qualities and add another dimension whether it be more offence or more grit, to be given a regular shift as this team moves forward.
If Hall gets two games for a nasty hit on a hockey play.Benn should get four games for a blatant intent to injure.Won't happen though.
After watching the game last night.The cheap hit on Potter Benn trying to break Jones spine.Gagner having to stand up for himself and scrap a much larger opponent.It is clear to me the team needs a nuclear deterrent.
The Oilers this year are struggling to make the playoffs.Ok fine but in a couple years they should be making it with ease.Losing a few points on the way protecting your skill guys is better that losing one for a season.
Yak played 12:21 last night.If you double shift players like that on the fourth line a few shifts it gives him more ice.A good thing I think.So the deterrent hits the ice once a period in an offensive zone start.More if needed.
Did Benn go ask Jones if he wanted some graphite upside his spine?No,he just did it.That is exactly what the deterrent has to do.Don't ask, don't take no for an answer just beat the living crap out of whoever deserves it.Semenko never asked.If you screwed with Gretzky.He just kicked the crap out of you.
It does not matter if he gets a two minute instigator penalty even a suspension.You have to defend your skilled players.Dallas last night knew the Oilers could not.Benn is not worried about any Oiler.That has to change.Before more liberties are taken and the team loses a star for months.Protect this house .
March 01 2013, 07:28AM
Can anyone confirm whether or not that shot from Yakupov (on the Hemsky goal I believe) went in? I thought for sure that the puck hit the back bar but the play kept going.
It's a moot point as the Oilers scored, but if the puck did actually cross the line how does that work? I can only find a rule that talks about Team A scoring, the play continuing, and then Team B scoring to stop the play. If deemed a good goal then Team A gets it and the clock is reset to that time. There's nothing about 2 goals by the same team.
Or should I just shut up so I don't jinx any future goal opportunities.
Kind of sad Gregor that you have been watching hockey all your life and what's a penalty on open ice is not called too often in front of net.Though oilers do get called as Fitric got a crosschecking in front of net in this game. In no other sport are the rules bent so far and it's only been around since Sheros flyers got away with it as NHL tried to intice American public with more rock em sock em violence. Benn made a deliberate attempt to injure from cowardly behind no less and should be suspended for two.
March 01 2013, 08:19AM
Great game, loved the outcome. Lehtonen was off all game.
That said, the Oilers 5-3 all year has driven me crazy.
The "Big X" setup just seems like such a waste of talent.
Two players stand behind the Net in the corners, one guy in the slot, and two at either point. Now two guys are in no position to shoot and 1-1 coverage is available for the other 3. I'm no great hockey mind but how does that completely static setup take advantage of the 2 extra players the Oilers have on the ice? It just keeps the play at the perimeter.
That formation has to go.
Sorry Gregor have to disagree with Benn hit,
I cant believe people are saying Benn should not be suspended for that cross check, and that it happens all the time in front of the net.
1. In front of the net it actually has to do with the game and it is expected to happen. Awareness is there.
2. In front of the net it is split second decisions, usually more to do with clearing the players and not intent to injure.
Now, no matter how viscous or not the cross check was and hits that have suspension with them may have been worse (ie. Hall), this was clearly planned out, had nothing to do with the game and was intent to injure.
This is where Shanahan needs to send a message. Tough hockey is what made me love it. Even with all of the cheap hits last night that has to do with playing the hockey game. But the intention was clear, Benn was out to hurt him.
The penalty for a crime is always higher with intent.
Agree. He definitely got their captain Morrow's attention, and then went to the box without a bunch of BS. It's the type of penalty you can afford to take when you're up 2-0 and dominating a game. If we were down by 2, it would be a different story. Some would call that a mature decision. Maybe there's hope for the big guy.
4 even strength goals? How did that happen. Must have been a mistake.
Gagner fighting. Like it a lot.
Petrell can play center. Would Belanger become expendable if Petrell moved to center on the 4 th line.
DD. Solid.
Yakupov. The diving play to clear the zone. Like it. The Pint tonight.Can't make it because I can't afford it after getting the shaft at work. Bloody healthcare cuts. Oh well, to the next job .
Hey Gregor, I was trying to get a hold of you on your show yesterday, but you only seemed to have time for some clown at 3 O'clock and a couple hours to state the obvious about the Oilers futility against Dallas.
Anyway, as bad as the show was, maybe talking about how bad the Oilers are against Dallas for 2 hours made the bounces go in our favour....
If we had an enforcer, do you think that guys like Dillion would be slamming our hobbits into the boards?
His hit on Eberle behind the net was a blatant attempt to injure. Had Eberle not turned after being hit......I shudder to think of what could have happened. Gagner's fight was an attempt to send a much needed message to Dillion......we may be small but we have fight! Good for Gagner.........in my mind this guy does not get enough respect for what he brings.
We need to move a defenseman out of the line up and bring Hordy back........he would have not hesitated for one second letting Dillion know what to expect.
I thought that the trio ( Nuge, Ebs, Hall) would be living up to their words.......shooting more. I cannot understand their fascination for passing the puck in the slot, when the shot is there for the taking.
Instead of Benn, let's all talk about when Fistric absolutely sh*t-pumped Roussell as he was busy yapping at Nuge after the whistle. That was awesome...and a little sketchy. Love it.
Or how about the time he crumpled Jaaaaaaaaromir? Love that too.
Good, tough, nasty plays. As soon as they extend him for another 3 years, I might have to toss a name on the back of my new jersey.
March 01 2013, 09:40AM
To appease the masses, one game for Jamie Benn.
Hope they can keep it rolling in St.Louis tonight. Consistancy has been an issue.
March 01 2013, 09:43AM
Benn listed at 6'2 205lbs, Jones 6'1 201. If you liked the fact Taylor Hall risked suspension to make a point you have to like Benn's play too.
Disagree, Halls shot was head on and Cal could look right in his face. Benn hit him in the back after he had been standing watching play for a few seconds. Very different. Benn was just gutless.
Did Benn come straight off the bench to crosscheck Jones? Isnt that an automatic suspension?
Did Benn come straight off the bench to crosscheck Jones? Isnt that an automatic suspension?
I think it was just part of a normal line change.
Who needs to score on the PP when you are doing it on 5X5.. what a change. If there power play would have clicked this could have been a blow out like we havnt seen since the Chicago games last year. Dubby work didnt hurt either.. great game for him..
Good for Gagner on dropping the gloves, but its a shame somone like Fistric, or Eager, didnt take care of Dillon, the right way.
Liking RNH's defensive play by the game, not to mention his F/O work. This guy is going to be a machine in this league. { his scoring will come, I think he's really working to fix the other side of his game]
For the record, I agree with all, that think Benn should get a suspension [2] . No different than Halls hit on Clutterbutt. This wasnt even a hockey play. the guy skates over and flat out cross checks an unsuspecting player.
I think it was just part of a normal line change.
Part of a normal line change or not he came straight off the bench and initiated, does it make a difference. What says you?
There needs to be a "-1" option on this blog. There's borderline trolling going on here. The Nation (FIST) is no place for idiots, you're making us look bad.
Also, if you can't put together a readable post, why do it? Makes me think we should also have a "?" option, and if you get too many, YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!
March 01 2013, 10:25AM
Good game! DD played wicked. If he didn't the game might have been close.
Lady luck came out for us last night! I hope she don't turn into a b**ch tonight.
Fistric is cool! Petrell great game 5x5. He is a PK specialist too. Damn! Hall is the shizel. One mistake though, but didn't get burned for a goal against. RNH can hit. He's got some compete in him.
I thought most everyone played a respectable game. Potter... He's not an NHL D-man. Even his injury looked to me like he put himself in a vulnerable position. He thinks the game a second or two too slow. That don't cut it in the show. Oddly if he goes on IR that could be a good thing. It opens up a spot on the rotation for the D (Peckham gets some ice time) and there will be an opening up of a roster spot for a forward.
Eberle played the game a lot more involved. I was impressed. He took a hit at the blue line, but made sure he got the puck in deep. That lead to him eventually passing it to Schultz for a goal. Getting his hands dirty. Nice job. However, he got caught watching the puck instead of taking the man on Dallas' only goal. But, good effort for the most part last night.
Good steps forward. I'm stoked for tonight!
Finally, all the blog complaining about even strength goals has paid off. As the Oilers not only demolished another team at even strength, but did it to Dallas, in Dallas! Now, let the blogging about our terrible power play especially 5 on 3 begin!!!!!
Watching the game last night, thinking about how we don't have Horcoff, and we don't have a huge stud defender that can do it all, I'm already thinking about next year when maybe, just maybe we finally have these key pieces. This team has shown such flashes of insane brilliance, that just one or two more key pieces to the team and I think we become a perennial contender.
I'm really trying not to get to high after 3 points in 4 games on the road against tough teams, but I'm an Oilers fan, so I am. I mean, Yak hasn't really even been activated yet, Nuge isn't playing like he can, and Schultz is just getting started. My god this team is going to be something special.
If we had an enforcer, do you think that guys like Dillion would be slamming our hobbits into the boards?
His hit on Eberle behind the net was a blatant attempt to injure. Had Eberle not turned after being hit......I shudder to think of what could have happened.

And what are the chances of Hordichuk running into Dillon in his 2:02 TOI.. Even if they do happen to get on the ice at the same time, if I'm Dillon I just skate away cause I know he won't play the rest of the game..
Although I do agree with you on Gagner

Exactly! I think a lot of people only watch Oiler games and don't realize that stars from every single team gets hit and takes a lot of cheap shots too. Enforcers are an absolute waste of a roster spot.
What if, instead of Benn, it was Dallas' known goon and instead of Jones, it was Hall. Would their be a suspension?
Suspension or not, a five minute major and a game misconduct is pretty serious. And since there is now word about a Jones concussion or anything, really what's the big deal? The problem with Hall's hit is that he injured the player. Intentional or not, guy got injured on the play. Jamie Benn, even though the game was pretty much wrapped anyway by that point, basically solidified the win 5 min out. I agree with Gregor that suspension or no suspension, the point is that we were able to frustrate a team to such excess, that their star player essentially conceded the game with five minutes left. When was the last time (Chicago) a team just gave up trying to beat the Oilers with that much time left?
Exactly! I think a lot of people only watch Oiler games and don't realize that stars from every single team gets hit and takes a lot of cheap shots too. Enforcers are an absolute waste of a roster spot.
That is why every player on the bench stands up for a fight then bang their sticks on the boards for their guy after the fight.
Players respect someone watching their back.Not getting run through the boards with intent to injure hits.
Did you watch the last Oil change when Ebs thanked Smid for standing up for him?
I absolutely hate other teams having their way with the kids.Protect them before someone gets hurt bad.A possible career ending injury.
Everyone has a role and the Oilers need that role filled.

...didn't watch the game ... anyone ... did Gagner fight Dillon cuz of the hit from behind and head first into the end boards on 14 or was he just being an all around alpha hotel...
... 89's got them big balls!!!
There have been worse hits than Benn's for sure, but as others have mentioned, it was a direct attempt to injure, whereas Hall's hit against Minny was not. That's why this whole suspension thing sucks. Halls hit looked worse but was not a direct attempt to that... Too me Benn should get a couple games but he likely just gets fined. They have to do something.. otherwise they are saying its okay to smoke someone from behind like that intentionally.
Totally agree.
It was after the play and Jones was not expecting to be hit. He could easily have been hurt badly in the back, neck or concussed by the whip-lash effect. Similarly, the "clean player" Doan's cross check on the unsuspecting Horcoff was dirty and intending to hurt him.
These were not hockey plays. Hall's attempted hip check ruled to be knee on knee was an attempted hockey play and from my vantage point was not intended to injure the opponent, yet he was suspended. Benn should be suspended or fined and Doan should have been too.
@paul wodehouse
Dillon squeezed Gagner out along the boards in a weird way. Gagner got up and challenged him.
both men dropped the gloves and Dillon removed his helmet. Gagner's helmet didnt come off until dillon pushed it off i think. Luckily there was no instigator w/ visor Penalty on the play!
** this is how i remember it. I don't have the video in front of me though, so take this with a grain of salt **

Nice red shoe
"I really like this shoe. The heel height is high but not to high, and I love the red color. I only gave it 4 stars because I have little ankles so the strap is a bit big on me..but other then that the shoe is great. Every time I wear them I get compliments all the time."

Cheaply make
"I got this shoe in the red and black.Sadly they look cheaply made and as i inspected it, the inside sole was bumpy coming off the sole. The inside faux leather lining was very thin and looks to be so thin that it will rub off. The shoes look beautiful on and off your feet, but when you look at the construction of them they are not a shoe that will last. As far as the comfort level, it is ok, I have had worse but only for a couple of hours."

SLU Hosts AJCU Conference
The three-day meeting marked the first time the University has hosted graduate administrators with the Association of Jesuit Universities and Colleges.

Saint Louis University's Office of Graduate Education hosted the Association of Jesuit Universities and Colleges (AJCU) annual graduate administrators meeting March 14-16. The graduate group is one of nearly 30 AJCU affinity groups. This is the first time SLU has hosted the conference.
"The AJCU affinity groups provide an excellent opportunity to relate mission to our everyday responsibilities and to share best practices in achieving mission and goals," said Diana Carlin, Ph.D., associate vice president for Graduate Education. "SLU had an opportunity as host to highlight some of our programs and to help set the agenda for discussion. The group's openness and willingness to collaborate resulted in many ideas that will help us better serve SLU graduate students and faculty."
The three-day event was designed to share best practices and develop collaborations among the AJCU graduate programs. Carlin developed the program based on suggestions from administrators at other universities. In keeping with a charge given to all affinity group conference chairs by AJCU President Gregory Lucey, S.J., the conference focused on the role of mission in graduate education and considered how to incorporate the AJCU's strategic goals of collaboration among the members, effective presence in Washington on issues affecting higher education, mission and identity formation, and international collaborations among Jesuit schools.
Specific session topics included joint and dual-degree programs, funding interdisciplinary degree programs, diversity recruitment, career planning for graduate degree holders, the role of associate deans, and incorporating mission into graduate degree programs and support services for graduate students.
Twenty administrators from across the country and six SLU graduate administrators participated. Paul Stark, S.J., vice president for Mission and Ministry, led the group's first session on understanding mission. Jan Barber, associate dean for Graduate Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, participated on the associate deans panel. Diana Carlin was on the joint and dual degree program session. Don Highberger, S.J., led a brainstorming session on achieving the AJCU goals. And lastly, Cherell Johnson, master's candidacy advisor; Michael Hankins, graduate student in applied and integrated sciences; Jordan Wilson, graduate student in public health; and Karissa Anderson, a future SLU graduate student in social work served on a panel discussing SLU's award-winning Program GRAD for diversity recruitment.

Chakra, if there's a transmiter( the one sending the signal/chakra) and there a receiver (Pain's Body). There must be a way to figure out where it come from with the sharingan. I mean sasuke could see Deidara's microscopic bomb filled in the air/inside of him so unless the transmiter is sending the chakra directly/instantly to the receiver, it another plot hole no jutsu
all they need is shikamaru to go commando status and then naruto/kakashi do the work for shikamaru

not easy to walk in
"While I've read some good reviews about its comfort, I can't say it's comfortable at all on me. Platforms in general are more comfortable because there's more padding between the hard floor and your foot, and there is some slight padding for the balls of the feet. But I've definitely have had more comfy pumps. The height is not so bad, but the way the bottom of the shoe curves up really bothers me. This seems more apparent in most platforms. And it's really hard for me to walk in. It feels fine on carpets but on more slick surfaces I feel a little nervous because not only is there almost no traction on the bottom of the shoe the way it curves makes me feel like I'm not walking on a flat surface. This shoe also feels a bit longer than most. I'm a 7.5W but I usually wear a 8 in mediums just fine. But in a 8 with these pumps I feel like my feet are floating in them, there's a good 3/4 inch of empty space behind my heel. The hammered texture is a little better than I expected. There's a circular pattern throughout."

Flirty and Comfy!
"I bought these shoes for a Halloween costume and I thought I would only wear them once, but that isn't the case! I love these shoes! I have recieved so many compliments on them and I wore them all night long without my feet hurting the next day. My only small complaint is that some of the gold chipped off the heel, but that could have been because of me rubbing the shoes up on things."

Gorgeous - fun shoes!
"Love, love, love these shoes. What a great change from sequins or glitter. They look great dressed up or with jeans. Yes, they are high, but with the hidden platform, you don't feel it. I am 5'11" and don't need the extra height but I just couldn't resist the crinky silver leather as a nice alternative. Especially for the holidays that are coming. You won't be disappointed ladies!"

This 49th Regiment Officer dress coat is an example of an early war pattern coat which belonged to an officer in the 49th Regiment of Foot. Also known as the "Green Tigers," the regiment served with distinction during the War of 1812, participating actively in prominent battles such as the Battle of Queenston heights (1812) and the Battle of Crysler's Farm (1813). The 49th was also the home regiment of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, who was leading men from the regiment when he was shot and killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights on 13 October 1812.
