Rated 3.2 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bernie L Great socks I purchased these socks in white for my Dad. He dislikes how other socks are binding and too tight on his legs. He called me to say he loves them!! Couldn't get them anywhere else except VCS. Thank you!! June 4, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Rockman Not for street wear Thought this product wild solve my problem of elastic pinching into my calves, cutting off circulation. These socks are way too thin to be worn in street shoes or boots. After three hours of wear the cotton balls up, and a hole appeared at the top cuff. These socks are more appropriate for house bound slipper wearing. March 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CPA Not completely elastic free I was surprised each sock had 4 strands of elastic at the top. I couldn't wear the socks with the elastic; however, after I removed the elastic, the socks were fine and I like them. It was a little problem at first removing the elastic, but after a few socks, I figured it out. February 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SUZYQZ Great Mens Socks I purchased these for my Husband has he had a broken ankle a couple of years ago and could not wear or stand socks that were tight around the ankle. We looked all around our area and could not find anything like these and then I thought of Vermont Country Store. He loves these socks and they are not tight at all as we have ordered several pairs. He is very pleased that we found them and will probably order more. June 5, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by AGH Good looking socks but made from super light material I had hoped to receive a crew sock similar to crew socks sold by mens shops broadly i.e. heavy cotton socks designed for athletic use. While the pictures looked good, on arrival the socks were of the thinest material possible - so thin that in fact I had to discard them, they were useless. May 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by mikey09 crummy socks flimsy and they do not stay up. fall down to the ankles. April 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by NKC Poor choice The socks were advertised as non-elastic crew socks. Perhaps some elastic would help them stay up. Within minutes of putting them on they were around my ankles. I made a poor choice. At the end of the day, they all went in the trash. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bud Summers Found some men's socks I am not allergic to As I grow older, I have developed a skin allergy that seems to be to plastic and nylon. It appears that wearing cotton socks overcomes the problem. I wore the white socks for two weeks with no problem. Now I am in the third week of wearing all of the colors, one at a time, with no problems. My allergy is my ankles swell, itch, turn red, and peal. And my feet swell and itch. I am also alergic to sun shine and floresent lights. February 11, 2014

Apparently The Detroit Model Doesn't Work
Jonathan Willis
January 29 2010 12:01PM
Steve Tambellini was warmly welcomed by pretty much everyone in Edmonton – not just by the people who hired him, but also by the fans, the local media, and even sceptics like myself. He was part and parcel of the new era promised by Daryl Katz's ownership, a man unconnected to the Oilers glory years and with a ton of experience as an NHL executive.
John MacKinnon was perhaps the most effusive (although it's once again worth noting that he wasn't alone) in a piece that comes across as comical in retrospect. Right from the opening paragraph, where Kevin Lowe is described as "the smartest guy in the room", "wise" and "secure" it's hard not to laugh at what gullible rubes we all were. The "three day" decision to hire Tambellini also serves as a fun contrast to his constant calls for patience and time to assess.
The kicker, though, is this paragraph:
In hiring the classy, well-respected Tambellini and adding "assistant GM" to Kevin Prendergast's existing title of vice-president, hockey operations, Lowe has bolstered the hockey office that lost the capable Scott Howson, who left for the GM's job in Columbus in June 2007. By design or not, the Oilers front office begins to resemble the gold standard, that of the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings.
For all the sick humour any fan looking at the standings now can find in that paragraph, it is right about one thing: this year's edition of the Edmonton Oilers has been a group failing. I wrote defending Kevin Lowe the other day because I don't think it's remotely fair to blame just him. Don't get me wrong; he deserves to be fired too for a host of sins since July of 2006. Even ignoring the Pronger trade, the offers to Thomas Vanek and Michael Nylander on their own merits should have been enough to get him fired.
I'm going to take a minute to focus on Kevin Prendergast, the man responsible for the Springfield Falcons. There's more to it than simply looking at the diminishing returns of the AHL team, but let's do that anyway:
- 2007-08: 35-35-10
- 2008-09: 24-44-12
- 2009-10: 15-24-10
- Totals: 74-103-32
In two and a half years of affiliation with the Oilers, the Springfield Falcons have won just over one-third of their games. There's no lottery pick for finishing last in the AHL, and pretty much every highly-touted prospect the Oilers have assigned to the team has struggled. Expensive minor league veterans that do get signed either implode or get hurt; the franchise has been an inexcusable disaster ever since becoming affiliated with the Oilers.
I see no reason why Kevin Prendergast should be allowed to remain in a hockey operations job, given the record of the team he is responsible for overseeing – both in terms of games lost and prospects drowning in the deep.
Rick Olczyk is a more difficult person to assess. His responsibilities include "player contracts, negotiations and other CBA related issues." It's difficult to know how much say he actually has, and the Oilers have signed some bargain contracts during his time with the team (Mike Comrie, and ummm... Mike Comrie). That said, one of the Oilers' multitudinous problems is their inability to manage the cap, and that reflects poorly on Olczyk. Getting caught by surprise on the negotiating window for Heatley may or may not be Olczyk's fault, but it reflects badly on him too. Jason Gregor may or may not have misinterpreted Olczyk when he said that Gilbert Brule wasn't waiver eligible (he was) but again it reflects badly on Olczyk. Essentially, there's a lot of circumstantial evidence and very little concrete evidence here, and it would take an insider to know whether or not Olczyk should go.
That brings us to the final member of the Oilers management quartet, Steve Tambellini. Lowetide and I have both commented on how the bar keeps moving for Tambellini, which adds some nuance to trying to establish his performance. I'll explain:
- July 31, 2008: Steve Tambellini is officially hired as Oilers GM
- April 13, 2009: Jason Gregor tells us that the plan was to bring Tambellini in for a year to "assess" but that he's in charge at this point.
- April 13, 2009: Robin Brownlee tells us that Kevin Lowe stepped back from the day-to-day when Tambellini was hired, and that it will be up to Tambellini to "orchestrate the changes."
- May 30, 2009: Terry Jones tells us that "this very much became Steve Tambellini's hockey club with the hirings of Quinn and Renney."
- January 28, 2010: Steve Tambellini says that Daryl Katz "has given me complete authority" over the team and Dan Barnes stresses that Lowe is responsible for the predicament up to this point.
Personally, I don't think it's that complicated. Kevin Lowe stepped back on July 31, 2008. That's when Steve Tambellini stepped in and took over day-to-day operations. That's the date Steve Tambellini should be accountable from, and since that date the Oilers have gone 54-65-15. The Oilers penalty-kill has been disastrous since day one, and Tambellini has made no moves to address it. The team has been unable to win faceoffs and prior to Marc Pouliot's return had exactly one centre on the team born prior to 1987.
Tambellini's moves are rarely blatantly bad in themselves (particularly his trades) but two key exceptions stand out: his acquisition of Nikolai Khabibulin, and his love of "grit." I've gone into the Khabibulin in detail time and again, and it's a firing offence all on its own: Tambellini gambled $15 million that Khabibulin would be both healthy and competent, despite his age, his injury record, and his inconsistent work in Chicago. That's nearly seven percent of his total player budget for the next four years, gambled on a 36-year old who averages just under 20 missed games per season and has a grand total of one good year in his last four. When Khabibulin was dehydrated and had to leave a pre-season game, Pat Quinn stated that the team didn't know it but that had also happened in Chicago. That's the sort of simple thing a G.M. is supposed to find out before committing massive money and term to a player; the fact that the Oilers didn't dig too deeply into Khabibulin's medical history shows an astonishing inability to perform basic due diligence.
As for Tambellini's love of "grit," it's a less important but also interesting point. He brought in Steve MacIntyre, and then he brought in Jesse Boulerice; apparently the fact that neither could play hockey and that the latter has twice jeopardized the careers of opposition players were immaterial. More serious was Tambellini's pursuit of Chris Neil; the fact that he offered the Eastern Conference version of Zack Stortini a three-year deal in the neighbourhood of $2.0 million per season is a frightening reality. It's also a mark against the notion that Tambellini was hamstrung by Kevin Lowe-era contracts; for those keeping track, between Neil and Khabibulin Tambellini offered more than 10.0% of his cap space in two ill-advised contracts.
The flaws in this hockey club are exactly the same as they were the day Steve Tambellini was hired. The Oilers are inexperienced at centre and throughout the forward corps. The Oilers lack players who can, as Steve Yzerman put it, play a 200 foot game. The Oilers lack competent penalty killers. The Oilers lack top-six players who can play a physical game. The Oilers lack a defenceman who the coaching staff can rely on to play against the Western Conference's big guns. The Oilers have an over-abundance of small, unidirectional forwards and management has been loath to make a decision on any of them – a problem exacerbated by the fact that the team's most NHL-ready prospects are either incomplete (Paajarvi-Svensson) or incomplete and small (Eberle, Omark). The Oilers lack a single goaltender who can be relied upon to a) stay healthy and b) stop pucks (the guy they had left town because the team apparently decided that multi-year contracts to old goaltenders were a bad idea).
In a year and a half on the job, Steve Tambellini has done precisely nothing to fix the Oilers key problems, and in a few cases he's managed to make those problems worse. The most likely explanation is that he simply doesn't understand what those problems are. Yesterday he told Dan Barnes that the first step in fixing the problems he has now would be to find out "who truly wants to be an Oiler." I'm not sure if it's sadder that he thinks that should be goal one or that after a year and half with the team he's still asking the question, unsure of the answer.
The problems with this hockey club are directly traceable back to the four men making the decisions. Given that the problems are both numerous and those men show no public indication of even understanding them – let alone fixing them – it's time to clean house.

You have a website?
January 29 2010, 03:05PM
Messier hasn't even put a team together yet has he?
To me the reason guys like Messier and Yzerman get the jobs for team canada is for their name and because the more qualified people have bigger positions in the NHL.
No he hasn't. I'm just mentioning it due to the ridiculous suggestion that he would be a good GM with no background at all. Even if he puts together a good team for the WHC why would someone think he is good enough to be a GM?

Well if he can put together a winning team of players that doesn't include the superstars of the eliminated teams then maybe he gets some credit, but otherwise I agree. How hard is it to pick the best of the bunch.

Like I said yesterday, money can buy pretty much everything.
Especially my love and/or friendship.
January 29 2010, 03:10PM
I agree that I would probably clear house of management. I was never a fan of Prendergast. This organization needs reform top to bottom.
January 29 2010, 03:11PM
Like I said yesterday, money can buy pretty much everything.
Especially my love and/or friendship.
So are you asking me to pay you to go to your website that you said no one goes too?
January 29 2010, 03:12PM
How is it that everyone is so high on our prospect pool yet they want the guy responsible for it gone?
January 29 2010, 03:14PM
@Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Strudwick for coach
Absolutely not. In fact, I should probably be paying people to read it considering the lack of content/quality.
I just meant that even an a-hole like me who can barely work a remote can have an honest to goodness website, for the right price.
January 29 2010, 03:16PM
So 6 posts later and I still don't know what your web address is? Let me guess you are the same guy that can have a one night stand, but still not figure out if the girl is interested in you or not?
I have patience to let these draft picks from the last 6 or 7 years weed themselves out. The only move I didn't like from Tambellini is waiting so long for Heatley to answer him - bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad - major desperation revealed.

But, I mean, I called her like 9 times the next day, and she didn't pick up, but I'm pretty sure she's just busy or she couldn't find her phone or something.
She'll call me back ANY minute........
January 29 2010, 04:53PM
Who then should be brought in to the front office? Because it is one thing to point out mistakes, it is something else to do something about them.
Do you think Hitchcock would be good front office material?
Just asking.
January 29 2010, 05:32PM
What a GONG SHOW this organization has turned into,Does Katz run the rest of his business like he does the Oilers? and Tamballinis comment that he wants to see who wants to be an Oiler,is even a bigger F*cken joke,It looks like he better order up a new hockey team,The way they are playing no one wants to be here.
I wrote this on my own website, but since no one reads it, I'm going to write it again on here. Ahem:
I like to compare the Oilers under Steve Tambellini's watch to a burning skyscraper. Basically, Tambo rolled up, looked up and saw that the building was slowly burning at the top. Someone tried to run and call for help but he stopped them and was all like "Wait, let's just see where this goes".
And right now that same building has basically been reduced to a pile of smoldering rubble, and someone asked him what they should do now, to which he responded "Let's just see where this goes".
I'll give it to him, the man has some serious patience.
*curls up in the fetal position*
That what a helluva post, given that it was written by an a-hole. Heh heh.
Great read J-Dub.
What if Tambellini was given the chance to fire Prendergast & Olzyck and hire new peeps serving up a nice plate of 'scapegoat' first?
To me, those two gotta go regardless. Tambellini, however, was thought of as a "smart hockey guy". It's possible that that was inaccurate, but perhaps he deserves a second chance (with his own hires). After all, he's under contract anyway, and his replacement is, too (Quinn). And his replacement (Renney). And his (Daum). And his (Steve Pleau).
Lowe can stay as ambassador/consultant/governor or whatever.
EDIT: Just read Guy Flaming's piece basically saying as much. Good stuff Willis.
Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on E-Bay?
I put in a bid for a "Mickey Mouse Outfit", and now it seems I am only six minutes away from owning the EDMONTON OILERS!
I almost spit rice all over my computer screen at this. Totally did not see that coming. LOLZ.
I agree...Ted Turner Prendergast should be canned.
Still LuvIt
But, I mean, I called her like 9 times the next day, and she didn't pick up, but I'm pretty sure she's just busy or she couldn't find her phone or something.
She'll call me back ANY minute........
Did you tell Dakin there's fresh meat coming?
Posts like this one are incredibly potent evidence as to Jonathan Willis' being one of the top hockey writers in the business.
It's hard to disagree with your assessment of Tambellini's work do far Jonathon, but firing him is a recipe for disaster.
Who do you replace him with?
First of all, it is difficult to assess who will be a good GM. Burke looked like a genius in Anaheim but is a disaster in Toronto. Howson looked a lot better last year than he has this year. Who exactly are the candidates that we're certain are better than Tambellini?
Then ask yourself if anyone who is good would really be interested in a job where his predecesor was fired for not turning around a flawed team in 18 months? It may be completely justified, but firing Tambellini now sends a message to the next guy that says if you can't turn this team into a contender in one season then your job is at risk. The best candidates will want to wait for a job where they know they'll get a chance to succeed.
Finally, the guy we do get in the end will be trying to work fast to turn things around. Experience tells us that when a GM feels he has to work fast he sacrifices picks and prospects for veterans he hopes will help now. And that's when the most disastrous hockey decisions get made.
Tambellini may not be the right guys for the job, but odds are if he's fired now then the next guy will be worse.

That's a little tilted, he turned a PO contender into a lotto team. That's alot different then what you are suggesting.

Tambi has made some good moves and some bad moves, but (as much as it pains me) some of his best moves have been no moves.
Should we have brought in several players over the summer? If we wanted to keep being an 8th place battler, yes. But Tambi chose to evaluate what he had. It's a harder choice, it hurts more, but in the long run it's better. Who knew Cogs could hit? Would anyone have bet on Brule being able to make a comeback? Stone being an NHL player (4th line, but still)? Potulny looking like a real solid cog to have in the middle of your machine? Dubs being so close to ready? These are all things we wouldn't have known if we'd brought in Malhotra and Betts and the several other players that we could have.
Yes, he's screwed up. Sully was a swing and a miss. Khabi was just a headscratcher. But no-one can be perfect, and he's matched a few bonehead moves with some really good ones (gettng anything for Garon, for instance).Now, we have a pile of RFAs to move or let go, he has free lease to trade pretty much anyone he wants, and we have some good kids coming up next year. He's evaluated who and what we have, and we're not going to try patching holes we now know we can fill internally.
Yes, this year sucks, and is a test of your faith as a fan. But now Tambi is set up so he can make whatever changes he wants, and we know what changes we need. They will be reasoned, well thought out changes, not kneejerk reactions. Last summer was a little disappointing in terms of volume, but the effort was there. This summer is the true test. Tambi will sink or swim based on what he does before the next exhibition games, and as much as we'd all like instant action, we should wait until then.
Or, yanno, we could make a bunch of trades before the deadline, fill all our needs, and miss out on Seguin.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Hi Marti,
Christian is doing well. Sucking up breast-milk like crazy. Happy, happy child. Daughter is still having blood pressure problems. Will try one med now. If that does not work, she will have to stop breast-feeding if they up the dosage of the med (I still have not found out what it is yet).
She found a job that she is really excited about. She will be teaching again and can bring Christian with her 2 of the 4 days that she works. Should give him some playtime with other children.
We all survived Hurricaine Irene. They had us prepare for a huge storm. By the time it got here, we were not really all that impressed. We lost power for about 6-7 hours. We have had much, much worse snow and ice storms up here (usually about 5-7 each winter and power loss for 2-8 days).
My kids and grandson spent the afternoon in the motorhome (with AC on) and the wife and I ran an extension cord to the bedroom and turned on a light and fan.
Hope everyone else did as well with the storm. Take care.

Sonic and Tails are back for another adventure as they again battle the evil Dr. Eggman (AKA Dr. Robotnik), who is desperately trying to collect all the Chaos Emeralds in order to rebuild his Death Egg.
Our heroes must find the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman does, but winning the race won't be easy - a new adversary, Knuckles the Echidna, has arrived on the scene and will do whatever he can to keep Sonic and Tails from reaching their goal.
Grab all the golden rings, find various bonus zones, and overcome Knuckles and Dr. Eggman as you rocket through the third chapter in Sonic's adventures.

William of Ockham was an English monk, philosopher, theologian, who provided the scientific method with its key principle 700 years ago. 'What can be done with fewer assumptions is done in vain with more,' he said. That is, in explaining any phenomenon, we should use no more explanatory concepts than are absolutely necessary. Simplicity should never be despised. Thoughtful people have their say, without interruption, on important science-related topics.

Jeff Scott has two years of experience, but that doesn't mean his practice time lost because of injury this month is inconsequential.
Scott has taken the "mental reps" as they say, but how much he plays in Saturday's opener against Central Arkansas will be determined by how he handles practice this week, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said.
The bottom line is Scott is on page with the offense, but has missed the contact, and re-learning the contact is a big deal for a running back.
Says RB coach Derrick Nix: "The biggest thing is getting hit, going through full scrimmages. That's a necessity for a running back. You have to go in and get acclimated to getting hit by guys a lot of times. That's one of the easiest ways to go out and fumble the ball, if you're not used to the contact. That's the biggest thing. I think mentally he's going to be there. He realizes what we're trying to do with the offense, but at running back you've got to get hit, get a feel for running into linebackers on the blitz or getting ready to hit guys that are coming unblocked with ball-security."
Had Scott been healthy they entire month he'd have had a challenge on his hands with Randall Mackey's move to the backfield. As it stands, the depth chart reads Mackey "or" Scott as the starter. Freeze made liberal use of the word "or" sprinkling it 10 times through the first regular season depth chart.
If Scott is healthy, he'll be a big part of things, and it will be interesting to see he and Mackey on the field at the same time.
Interesting, too, will be how all the backs are used with freshmen I'Tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton then veterans Devin Thomas and Nick Parker lining up behind Mackey and Scott. Nix says all six backs will have "different roles."

A pinball game in Dallas, with Tony Romo and Peyton Manning putting on an aerial show, Graham's greatness, Charles in charge, Vick to the sidelines and more in Scott Cullen's 50 Points on NFL Week Five.
1. While he threw an interception -- a spectacular diving effort by Broncos LB Danny Trevathan, incidentally -- that ultimately led to the Broncos' game-winning field goal, Cowboys QB Tony Romo (25-for-36, 506 YDS, 5 TD, 1 INT) had an unbelievable game, engineering four touchdown drives longer than 75 yards. Though coming up short in that spotlight feels all too familiar for Romo, that performance was not one that should have been denigrated in any way.
2. Broncos QB Peyton Manning (33-for-42, 414 YDS, 4 TD, 1 INT) had another crazy game, but may have been the second-best quarterback on the field at Dallas.
3. Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno (150 YDS, 1 TD 24 touches) again asserted his position at the top of the Broncos' running back depth chart, ahead of Ronnie Hillman (59 YDS, 11 touches) and Montee Ball (1 YD, 1 carry).
4. Starting in place of an injured Miles Austin, Cowboys WR Terrance Williams (4 REC, 151 YDS, 1 TD, 4 targets) got deep, while WR Dez Bryant (6 REC, 141 YDS, 2 TD, 10 targets, 1 fumble) and TE Jason Witten (7 REC, 121, 1 TD, 10 targets) also had huge production.
5. Broncos TE Julius Thomas (9 REC, 122 YDS, 2 TD) is tied for second in the league with six touchdowns and ranks fourth among tight ends with 359 yards receiving.
6. Saints QB Drew Brees (29-for-35, 288 YDS, 2 TD) was efficient against the Bears, hooking up with TE Jimmy Graham (10 REC, 135 YDS, 11 targets) again. Graham leads the league with 593 receiving yards, averaging 31.0 yards per game more than Antonio Gates, the tight end with the second highest per-game yardage (87.6). Graham's dominance in the Saints' passing game, has left WR Marques Colston (2 REC, 15 YDS, 2 targets) on the outside looking in, to some degree. His 62.6 yards per game ranking as a career low for a receiver that has gone over 1,000 yards in six of his seven previous NFL seasons.
7. Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (145 YDS, 1 TD, 1 fumble, 27 touches) continues to rack up yards. He ranks second in yards from scrimmage with 647, behind only LeSean McCoy (700).
8. Eagles QB Michael Vick (6-for-14, 105 YDS) suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out of action in Week Six. The goods for the Eagles is that Nick Foles (16-for-25, 197 YDS, 2 TD) was instrumental in Philadelphia's win over the Giants on Sunday and Foles should be prepared to run the offence smoothly, possibly on a more even keel than Vick, who varies from higher highs to lower lows.
9. Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (18-for-23, 221 YDS, 2 TD; 31 YDS, 11 carries) was very effective against San Diego. The Chargers don't have a good defence, ranking 29th in yardage allowed, but Pryor continues to give the Raiders reason for hope.
10. Packers RB Eddie Lacy (99 YDS, 23 carries) returned to action and carried the load, exactly the kind of game that the Packers expected from the physical back when they drafted him in the second round.
11. Ravens WR Torrey Smith (6 REC, 121 YDS, 9 targets) leads all wide receivers with 556 yards this season. (Atlanta's Julio Jones plays Monday night and has 481 yards.) Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (7 REC, 132 YDS, 1 TD, 13 targets) now ranks second among wide receivers with 525 receiving yards.
12. Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon (5 REC, 136 YDS, 1 TD, 6 targets) and Cecil Shorts (5 REC, 74 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) had productive game against St. Louis, though both would be better with a higher-calibre quarterback.
13. Rams WR Austin Pettis (4 REC, 49 YDS, 2 TD, 5 targets) is emerging as a bit of playmaker, with four touchdowns on the season. He's been targeted 36 times in five games, more than Steve Smith, T.Y. Hilton and Denarius Moore.
14. It came in a losing effort, but Chargers QB Philip Rivers (36-for-49, 411 YDS, 2 TD, 3 INT) had another big game against the Raiders and now ranks third in yardage (1,610) and second in touchdown passes (13) this season.
15. Dolphins WR Mike Wallace (7 REC, 105 YDS, 16 targets) was targeted a lot against Baltimore, and while he went over 100 yards, he caught fewer than half of the balls sent his way. Among 33 players with at least 40 targets through five games, Wallace has the fourth-worst receiving percentage (50.0%), ahead of Kenbrell Thompkins, Vincent Jackson and Robert Woods.
16. Giants wide receivers Hakeem Nicks (9 REC, 142 YDS, 12 targets) and Rueben Randle (6 REC, 96 YDS, 2 TD, 13 targets) had big games agains the Eagles, while Victor Cruz (5 REC, 48 YDS, 12 targets) was largely kept under wraps.
17. Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (10 REC, 218 YDS, 1 TD, 13 targets) had a monster game against the Saints as the preferred target of QB Jay Cutler (24-for-33, 358 YDS, 2 TD). WR Brandon Marshall (4 REC, 30 YDS, 1 TD, 5 targets) wasn't used as much, but had missed practice time during the week with a foot injury, so it's not altogether surprising that Jeffery took on a bigger role.
18. Saints RB Pierre Thomas (91 YDS, 2 TD, 28 touches) had a productive, if not terribly efficient, day in Chicago. With Mark Ingram sidelined, there are more carries available for Thomas.
19. With RB Stevan Ridley hurt, LeGarrette Blount (51 YDS, 1 fumble, 12 carries) had the chance to carry the mail, but a lost fumble worked for him the same way it did for Ridley early in the year. Brandon Bolden (64 YDS, 11 touches) continued to be productive with limited touches.
20. Against his former team, Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (67 YDS, 1 TD, 19 carries) took on a bigger role with the Bengals than he had in previous weeks. Giovani Bernard (69 YDS, 1 fumble, 15 touches) also lost a fumble, so perhaps that running back competition is a little closer than it looked heading into Week Five.
21. Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (8 YDS, 3 carries) suffered a concussion against Oakland so, once again, Danny Woodhead (71 YDS, 1 TD, 18 touches) was the productive one in the San Diego backfield.
22. Rams RB Zak Stacy (78 YDS, 14 carries) had most of the backfield action against Jacksonville, with more touches than Daryl Richardson (48 YDS, 13 carries).
23. Ravens RB Ray Rice (102 YDS, 2 TD, 1 fumble, 33 touches) had the yards and scores, but took a lot of touches to get there against Miami.
24. With WR Calvin Johnson out for the Lions, RB Reggie Bush ended up with 69 yards on 17 touches. WR Kris Durham (3 REC, 30 YDS, 1 TD, 8 targets) was the most targeted Lions wide receiver and Ryan Broyles (2 REC, 27 YDS, 2 targets) may as well have been an afterthought. With Johnson and Nate Burleson sidelined, QB Matthew Stafford (25-for-40, 262 YDS, 1 TD) was missing his top two receivers. Lions tight ends Brandon Pettigrew (4 REC, 59 YDS, 5 targets) and Tony Scheffler (4 REC, 55 YDS, 7 targets) led the Lions receiving corps with Calvin Johnson out.
25. The San Diego passing game has thrived despite season-ending injuries to Danario Alexander and Malcom Floyd. Vincent Brown (8 REC, 117 YDS, 9 targets) and rookie Keenan Allen (6 REC, 115 YDS, 1 TD, 9 targets) played big parts against the Raiders, while Eddie Royal has seen his role decline.
26. Since scoring five touchdowns in the first two games, Royal has eight catches for 102 yards and no scores in three games.
27. Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (5 REC, 140 YDS, 2 TD, 6 targets) had a big game against Seattle's top-flight secondary. Darrius Heyward-Bey had nothing on six targets, making Hilton the clear No. 2 among Indy wide receivers behind Reggie Wayne.
28. Packers WR James Jones (4 REC, 127 YDS, 1 TD, 6 targets) was tops among Green Bay receivers and has pulled just ahead of Randall Cobb in yardage (339 to 325) for the season.
29. In Kansas City, WR Donnie Avery (3 REC, 91 YDS, 4 targets) is emerging as a more productive option than big-money WR Dwayne Bowe (4 REC, 35 YDS, 6 targets). For the season, Avery has 304 yards and one touchdown, while Bowe has 183 yards and two scores. While this can be considered a credit to Avery, it's also an indictment of Bowe, who is barely a factor in the Chiefs' offence.
30. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson had another tough day passing (15-for-31, 210 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT), but made a difference on the ground (102 YDS, 13 carries) against Indianapolis. WR Golden Tate (5 REC, 61 YDS, 1 TD, 11 targets) and WR Doug Baldwin (5 REC, 80 YDS, 9 targets) got most of the looks from Wilson.
31. Panthers QB Cam Newton (21-for-39, 308 YDS, 3 INT, 1 fumble) had a dud of a game against Arizona. He's still ranked seventh in fantasy points per game (18.7) on TSN, but consistency remains a problem.
32. Bills QB E.J. Manuel (11-for-20, 129 YDS) suffered a knee injury in the Thursday nighter, and was replaced by Jeff Tuel (8-for-20, 80 YDS, 1 INT) with predictable results.
33. With Manuel out for 4-8 weeks, Thad Lewis has been named as the Bills' new starter, which seems like bad news for Bills recievers Robert Woods (5 REC, 64 YDS, 13 targets) and Stevie Johnson (2 REC, 19 YDS, 3 targets; also hurt Thursday).
34. Browns QB Brian Hoyer (2-for-4, 25 YDS) suffered a season-ending ACL injury, opening the door for Brandon Weeden's (13-for-24, 197 YDS, 1 TD) return. Weeden at least has some weapons, with TE Jordan Cameron and WR Josh Gordon giving him a chance to be productive, but Weeden hasn't distinguished himself in 18 career games, throwing 16 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.
35. Bills RB C.J. Spiller (66 YDS, 1 TD, 8 carries) was productive thanks to a 54-yard touchdown run and Fred Jackson (93 YDS, 2 TD, 21 touches) carried the bulk of the workload against Cleveland. With limited appeal to their passing game, expect Spiller and Jackson to get plenty of touches going forward. The issue, for those who thought Spiller could be an elite fantasy runner, is that Jackson has 82 touches to Spiller's 83. Tough to be a top producer with such an even split.
36. Good thing Titans RB Chris Johnson had a 49-yard touchdown catch and run, because his rushing numbers (17 YDS, 10 carries) were abysmal again. Johnson's 58.8 rushing yards per game is a career low.
37. Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert (9-for-19, 181 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT) suffered a hamstring injury against the Rams, which brought Chad Henne (7-for-13, 89 YDS, 1 TD) in off the bench.
38. With Ravens receivers Marlon Brown and Jacoby Jones out, Tandon Doss (3 REC, 58 YDS, 5 targets) stepped into a bigger role.
39. Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (92 YDS, 1 TD, 26 touches) didn't get loose against the Giants like he did against other opponents, but he still leads the league in yards from scrimmage.
40. Giants RB David Wilson (16 YDS, 1 TD, 6 carries) suffered a neck injury against Philadelphia, leading to Brandon Jacobs (37 YDS, 1 fumble, 11 carries) stepping in. It's hard to count on Wilson who is averaging a paltry 29.2 rushing yards per game, even if he is a starting running back.
41. Patriots QB Tom Brady (18-for-38, 197 YDS, 1 INT), struggled in the rain at Cincinnati, ending his 52-game touchdown streak, WR Danny Amendola (4 REC, 55 YDS, 9 targets) returned and was targeted most by Brady, but his overall production -- like all Patriots receivers -- wasn't great.
42. Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (69 YDS, 14 touches) ranks 15th in yards from scrimmage (371), but hasn't scored a touchdown yet, which limits his fantasy appeal.
43. Making the most of his few opportunities, Panthers WR Ted Ginn Jr. (4 REC, 78 YDS, 5 targets) leads Carolina wideouts with 221 receiving yards on 18 targets. His emergence is at least costing Brandon LaFell, if not Steve Smith, looks in the Carolina offence.
44. Cardinals RB Andre Ellington (83 YDS, 11 touches) had more yardage than starter Rashard Mendenhall (50 YDS, 1 TD, 19 touches).
45. Texans QB Matt Schaub (19-for-35, 178 YDS, 3 INT) appears to be melting down. He's thrown an interception returned for a touchdown in four consecutive games, an NFL record. Schaub remains the Texans' starter, but that leash is getting shorter and T.J. Yates will be next in line if Schaub is benched.
46. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (6-for-15, 113 YDS, 1 TD) didn't do much of anything, yet his team still won 34-3. Kaepernick passed for 411 yards in the season opener and has passed for 557 yards (144.3 per game) in the four games since.
47. Raiders RB Rashad Jennings (41 YDS, 10 carries) was supposed to get most of the work in Darren McFadden's absence, but Jennings suffered a hamstring injury Sunday night, so Marcel Reese (57 YDS, 10 touches) got some touches too.
48. The highest-scoring players that are owned in fewer than half of TSN fantasy leagues, by position (min. 3 GP): QB - Matt Schaub (16.3, 35.1%), RB - James Starks (9.0, 25.8%), WR - Ted Ginn (9.0, 7.3%) and TE - Charles Clay (8.8, 28.2%). The least-productive players owned in more than 80% of TSN fantasy leagues, by position (min. 3 GP): QB - Eli Manning (12.0, 91.9%), RB - David Wilson (1.5, 91.5%) WR - Kenny Britt (0.8, 81.3%) and TE - Kyle Rudolph (3.5, 90.2%)
49. Cardinals ILB Daryl Washington (9 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 TFL) was a beast in his first game back from suspension.
50. Other defenders with productive days: Bears OLB Lance Briggs (14 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL), Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes (12 tackles, 1 INT, 2 TFL), Lions MLB DeAndre Levy (14 tackles, 3 TFL), Colts ILB Jerrell Freeman (13 tackles, 1 TFL), Jaguars S Jonathan Cyprien (13 solo tackles), Eagles OLB Mychal Kendricks (4 tackles, 1 INT, 1 FR), Eagles CB Bradley Fletcher (9 tackles, 5 PD), Giants S Ryan Mundy (15 tackles, 2 TFL), Panthers MLB Luke Kuechly (9 tackles, 1 sack, 1 TFL), Cardinals OLB Karlos Dansby (8 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT), 49ers ILB Michael Wilhoite (13 tackles, 3 TFL), 49ers ILB Navorro Bowman (13 tackles); Raiders OLB Kevin Burnett (14 tackles, 1 sack), Cowboys ILB Sean Lee (16 tackles, 1 TFL).

|In response to Re: What is advisable water pressure at water heater
: I had a new water heater installed Friday and the plumber put a pressure meter on the drain outlet and it showed 100 psi, so he recommended replacement of our house pressure reduction valve. Afterwards the pressure on the outlet was 60 psi. Problem is, now the pressure at our kitchen faucet(furthest run) and our bath shower are both dismal. The other faucets appear to be a little lower but within comfort zone. I'd like to bump the pressure up a bit, perhaps to 70 or 75 psi, but is that safe for the new heater and the rest of the plumbing system ? It's all relatively new copper. thanks..ps..I'm real envious of your Ranier trip Terry..haven't been out there since '81...nice video...

In Frigid Ukraine, Stepping Up For Jews
Though motherhood is an uncomplicated source of joy for many women, 41-year-old Ella Belenky's happiness at giving birth to twin boys was tempered with deep worry: How would she provide for them?
Though motherhood is an uncomplicated source of joy for many women, 41-year-old Ella Belenky's happiness at giving birth to twin boys was tempered with deep worry: How would she provide for them?
Dressed in shimmering gowns and sparkling jewelry, the models proceeded down the runway to thumping beats and rapturous applause. But there was something slightly different about this fashion show: Half of the models had special needs, and their high-fashion designs were specially modified for their disabilities.
At the end of a long dirt road departing from Gori, a small war-ravaged town in Georgia's countryside, Lela, 22, awaits her visitors excitedly. She has put on her nice blouse, only necklace, and brightest smile. For this young woman who suffers from partial paralysis and spends the majority of her days in her crumbling home, this visit is the highlight of her week.
At age 25, Vera is one of the youngest JDC homecare workers assisting needy Jewish elderly in all of the former Soviet Union (FSU), but her compassion and determination belie her age. "My work gives me an amazing opportunity to get to know different people with different backgrounds. It is very rewarding, and I am happy to be able to help every person I meet," she says.
When Sofia R., 54, first learned her only son had an autistic disorder, she gave up her job as a computer programmer to focus on his education. Despite his high IQ, his behaviorial issues kept him from being accepted to kindergarten or primary school—and there was no special educational framework for him anywhere in Moscow.
Marina is an only child. She shares a rundown two-room flat in Minsk, Belarus with her parents, both of whom are disabled and struggle to subsist on a monthly pension. The Jewish community has been this family's lifeline since Marina was a young girl.

Thank you stay safe Mike.
Battling the Beast
Wearing class A uniforms, they sit sometimes for days, laughing, eating, joking...waiting for one sound, a tone that transforms them.
They abandon their armchairs for rubber boots, and their armor heavy and hot. Instead of trading jokes they relay directions, and orders, and shout reports of the status of the ENEMY--- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Fear and excitement grip the hearts of the freshest rookie to the oldest veteran as they jump into their big red fire trucks, perfect from washing, waxing and checking over and over. They pray that they have made no mistakes. The driver navigates the BRFT(big red fire truck) through the tight city streets that he knows as well as his family, dodging those that get into the way, hoping those he can't avoid will see him first.
They spot the ENEMY from blocks away - the column of smoke rises far above the trees, licking the sky.
They arrive at the scene, and again the battle cry is heard---- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Smoke fills the air and their lungs as they approach, hoses snaking, crisscrossing, coming to life as they surge the water from the fire hydrants to the fire trucks, that then sends the water to the hoses, turning them into weapons to use against the enemy.
The firefighters force open the front door, and a flash of liquid orange flame rolls out into the air trying to escape its defeat. With swords of water and suits of armor the firefighters advance into the structure, that is fully involved with flame, heat, and smoke.
They battle the BEAST nine or ten against one seemingly great odds.
But the nine or ten will win, emerging from the battlefield victorious as they always do, and eventually, they'll retire to their armchairs, thanking GOD that this time nobody was hit by the enemy "................FIRE................"

Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden
7th and Independence Ave., SW
Washington, DC
Location: Level 2
This major solo exhibition features approximately 25 works made since 2000 by Ai Weiwei (China, b. 1957), who is one of China's most prolific and provocative contemporary artists. Throughout his career, he has offered insights into the interrelationships between art, society, and individual experience and explored such universal topics as culture, history, politics, and tradition. The exhibition introduces viewers to the artist's broad spectrum of artistic practice, from sculpture, photography, and video to site-specific architectural installations and aims to reveal the rich and varied contexts that he has continuously interwoven. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with Perspectives: Ai Weiwei (May 12, 2012-April 7, 2013) at the Sackler Gallery of Art and Ai Weiwei: Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads (April 19, 2012-March 17, 2013) at the Hirshhorn Museum.
Pronunciation key: Ai Weiwei = Eye Wayway

As grief is an expected response to death, University Hospice offers the following services:
Building a New Life
The opportunity that accompanies loss is as real as the pain, but often is overlooked. Times of crisis, such as following a death, uncover people's abilities, as well as their vulnerabilities. It is possible to use this information to resolve old conflicts and to build a new life.
Restructuring one's life after a loss is enhanced by doing it deliberately. It requires thought, patience, a willingness to be honest with one self, and the courage to change. One way to begin is to study one's talents, resources, and options, as well as blocks to self-fulfillment. Support groups and counseling can contribute to self-discovery and needed connection with others.
A next step would be to set some attainable goals and develop a plan to accomplish them. This provides direction and feelings of security, self-esteem, and hope, which tend to be lacking during bereavement.
The actual shifting of energy from the past to the future is a gradual process that is aided by achieving one's goals and by letting go of unattainable wants. Hope comes from choosing what is possible.
In attempting to build a life without someone who died, the following thoughts may be helpful:

The implementation of blocks is completely rotten, rife with inconsistencies and gaps.
This meta bug is to track the complete review and overhaul of blocks to make them something we can be proud of.
One objective is to not break compatibility for the blocks themselves - this is just about pagelib, really and making it work consistently and simply across all the pages in Moodle.
Gliffy Diagrams

MDL-4138 A Main Menu type block for courses

Most important thing on the new implementation is to base it around contexts instead of pageids
Just so I remember to document this:
I was playing around trying to make a fancy block this weekend with YUI popups (much like the the repository picker). (I haven't researched very far, so could be wrong). But I don't think its currently possible to generate the necessarily html snippets in with the block to do this. (And I think to include the js we would need to d it on anything which includes the block - I don't think there is a way to include stuff in the head of html)
I seem to be using http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Navigation_2.0_implementation_plan instead of meta-bugs, so poaching this bug to use for $PAGE implementation.
$PAGE seems to be referred to in 190 places in 31 files. Lets see how much of that I can keep backwards-compatible.
Work in progress - I just wanted an off-site backup. However, if anyone wants to review it and comment on the direction I am taking, please be my guest.
I should add, the current version prints a lot of developer debug warnings, becuase I have not finished updating legacy code.
This is now in CVS. There are a few odds and ends that need to be cleaned finished, but that will be done as parts of other issues. I am closing this bug now for the pleasing sense of closure it gives me

"I love shoes and handbags that make me stand out and this is definately the shoes for that I appreciate the two tone effect so I can wear with different shades of purple. I haven't worn them yet so I cant be specific on the comfort because I can only tell that after standing and walking in them for hours on end which I am accustomed to doing. The length is o.k I am a usually a 10 the top of my foot is a bit wide so I always have problems with the width of most shoes. Overall a good buy."

Sizing is weird
"I love these shoes, I get compliments on them every time I wear them. Just be careful with sizing, they are extremely narrow. I am normally an 8/8.5, but I had to return these and get a 9. They are a little long and still a touch narrow, but otherwise comfortable to wear."

I've been bringing my kids to Hapkido Canberra for nearly 2 years and they love it.. Tom is *great* with kids.
Fantastic martial arts training for all ages. Kids have age specific classes that cater for their individual needs. The instructors are great and show genuine interest in all students.
My name is Ben Arnot, I have known Master Tom Adam for six years now and have trained in Hapkido both with him, and under his instruction. I have found him to be skilled, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and motivational. I have no hesitation recommending Master Tom to anybody who is interested in improving their lives through Martial Arts training. Had he not moved to Canberra, my son would be training in his Kid's Classes right now.
My son has been going here for over 2 years and has learned so much for the teacher Tom. Most of all he has learned self respect and to respect others, and to always try. My son loves going to Hapkido
My kids love it, my 6 year old goes to every available class, even getting a friend's mum to take her to extra classes. The classes are loud and exuberant and my kids are learning a lot. Hubby has just joined the family classes.

Today's income benefits from social assistance fall significantly short of meeting the cost of living anywhere in Ontario. Sufficient income covers market rental costs (determined by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation), a nutritious food basket (determined by regional public health units), market utility costs (regional variations must be reflected), transportation costs, and the costs associated with interacting in one's community. However, single individuals only receive $599 per month on Ontario works to cover shelter, food, and all their other monthly expenses. Singles on ODSP, receive $1064. ODSP rates are significantly lower than what is needed to cover the cost of basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and housing. Many people with mental illness access Ontario Works (OW), the publicly funded income support program for those in temporary financial need, while waiting to be granted ODSP benefits.
Some individuals with mental health conditions working full-time and not receiving social assistance are still unable to afford all the necessities of life. Many may work for minimum wage; yet, the minimum wage is insufficient to cover living expenses and may not enable individuals to exit social assistance for work. The minimum wage in Ontario is $10.25 per hour. The $10.25/hour minimum wage is 10% below the poverty line.
The Social Assistance Review and CMHA Ontario
Ontario has not conducted a comprehensive review of its social assistance system since 1988. Ontario is now undergoing a social assistance review, a promise made in the 2009 Poverty Reduction Strategy. The review will include both the Ontario Works Program and the Ontario Disability Supports Program, and involve both the income and employment streams. A Commission for the Review of Social Assistance in Ontario was appointed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services in November 2010. Their third and final report will contain the Commissioners recommendations on proposed reforms to be presented to the Ministry of Community and Social Services. This report is due out to the public in September or October 2012.
As a key stakeholder, CMHA Ontario has made two submissions to the Commission of the Review of Social Assistance in Ontario.
The Disability Tax Credit
The Disability Tax Credit is a non-refundable tax credit that can be used by persons with disabilities to reduce the amount of income tax they will have to pay. Some people with mental illness are eligible for this tax credit.
The purpose of the disability tax credit is help with the additional costs related to living and working with a disability. Persons with a disability who are interested in more information find out more at the Canada Revenue Agency website.

The Hurricanes cruised to a 66-24 Super Rugby win over the Melbourne Rebels at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
The Hurricanes cruised to a 66-24 Super Rugby win over the Melbourne Rebels at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
Winger Julian Savea bagged a hat-trick as the hosts ran nine tries past their weak trans-Tasman opposition, with fly-half Beauden Barrett converting all of them as well as a penalty for a personal haul of 21 points.
Andre Taylor and Alapati Leiua posted doubles for the rampant hosts, while Cooper Vuna scored a brace himself for the Rebels who added a five-pointer after the full-time siren via veteran hooker Adam Freier.
The bonus-point victory kept alive the Hurricanes slim hopes of making the play-offs as they moved to 40 points and into seventh place on the overall standings.
For the visiting Rebels, their hopes of achieving three consecutive victories for the first time in their history were dashed by a poor defensive effort and their chances of qualifying look even more remote.
With livewire scrum-half TJ Perenara influential, the Hurricanes allowed the Rebels little time to attack.
When they did, the men from Melbourne made the most of them with Vuna scoring twice in the opening forty minutes – the first after carving through the Hurricanes line and the second from an intercept.
But it was never going to be enough against a fired-up Hurricanes outfit whose powerful tackling gave them ample turnover ball to set up their try-scoring blitz that paved the way for the side's highest Super Rugby tally.
The Rebels won last year's clash in Melbourne 42-25 and another high-scoring match looked on the cards after Vuna sliced through some weak Hurricanes defence for the game's first try after barely seven minutes.
After exchanging penalties the Hurricanes levelled at 10-10 with a try in the 20th minute that's sure to make the highlights reel.
Perenara flicked a backhand pass to centre Tim Bateman, who as he was being tackled over the sideline got a ball away to full-back Taylor who dived across the line.
From that point it was all downhill for the Rebels.
Leiua crossed for the Hurricanes second touchdown after showing great handling skills to haul in Bateman's kick behind the flat Rebels defence, before Savea crossed twice in a matter of minutes for the bonus point.
Vuna then bagged his brace after the restart, but Jack Lam scored from turnover ball to restore the Hurricanes' margin as the hosts went into the half-time sheds 38-17 ahead.
The Hurricanes scored almost immediately after the resumption with Leiua's second try coming after Victor Vito had set the Rebels back with a 40-metre run.
Savea benefited from a long Perenara pass for his third try before Taylor, the competition's leading try-scorer, crossed for his second to give him 10 for the season.
A try to replacement scrum-half Chris Eaton had the Hurricanes up 66-17 before Freier picked up a consolation third try for the Rebels on full-time.
The scorers:
For Hurricanes:
Tries: Taylor 2, Leiua 2, Savea 3, Lam, C Eaton
Cons: Barrett 9
Pen: Barrett.
For Rebels:

Replacements: 16 Motu Matu'u, 17 Reg Goodes, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Brad Shields, 20 Chris Eaton, 21 Tusi Pisi, 22 Jayden Hayward.

WASHINGTON -- Perhaps because he was preparing to dedicate a new public land monument, President Obama decided to do a little communing with nature on Wednesday.
Obama walked from the White House to the Interior Department, cutting across the Ellipse on his way to an event in which he signed a proclamation establishing the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in south-central New Mexico.
"We're not just preserving history," Obama said at the Interior Department. "Outdoor recreation at parks and forests and other public lands brings in tourism dollars, attracting new businesses and encouraging spending at lodging and food establishments and of course park souvenirs."
Some Republicans criticized Obama for creating the monument through executive action rather than congressional legislation.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, also said new land use restrictions in New Mexico "will place additional burdens on Border Patrol personnel and limit access to high crime areas along the border, making it easier for drug smugglers and human traffickers to move in and out of the country."
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency supports designation of the monument.
In a statement, the border patrol said "this designation will in no way limit our ability to perform our important border security mission, and in fact provides important flexibility as we work to meet this ongoing priority."
For his part, Obama -- who has designated two national monuments this year, and 11 throughout his presidency -- said: "I've preserved more than 3 million acres of public lands for future generations -- and I am not finished."
Before walking back to the White House, he reminisced to his Interior Department audience about the days when he could go on a hike without a security detail.
"It's a wistful feeling," he said.
Obama chatted with tourists and school children during his walk to and from the Interior Department, and seemed happy to be out and about.
"The bear is loose!" he told trailing reporters at one point.
