Fantastic destination!
Je recommanderais
Turks and Caicos is stunning. The colour of the water is a beautiful turquoise. It is a great destination for snorkeling or other boat activities. The sand was nice and soft which made it easy to walk or run on the beach. We got to try their signature dish, conch. Delicious. We found that it had similar texture to calamari. If you go, we'd recommend checking out the Conch farm.
Aqualicious Bliss
Je recommanderais
We have travelled to Turks and Caicos three times. We will be travelling on our fourth and fifth trip this year. The beaches are pristine whether on Grace Bay Beach, Leeward Beach, Long Bay Beach, or Taylor Bay. "Provo" is a place to relax, unwind, and leave your worries behind. Enjoy gazing endlessly at the multiple shades of aqua and blue waters, lay under an umbrella with a good book, or venture out with your snorkeling gear to sea the beautiful sea life of The Bight and Smith's Reef. For the adventurous type, hop on the TCI Ferry to North Caicos, rent a car and drive the coast, then the causeway to Middle Caicos where you will see the breathtaking scenery of Mudjin Harbour and Dragon Cay. Make a stop at Flamingo Pond to see hundreds of wild Flamingos basking in the sun. At the end of your day, enjoy multiple options for dining whether on a budget or for a special occasion. Turks and Caicos is no doubt "Beautiful by Nature".
The best trip yet!
Je recommanderais
My solo trip to T & C was just what the doctor ordered. I attended a close friend's wedding but stayed in a different location so I could feel the freedom of being alone. The Gansevoort resort was utopia! The soft sand of the beaches, the slow pace of life, the incredible blue ocean that looked like a postcard photo, and more, all made for a fabulous time. I wish I could take this trip every year. I would highly recommend Turks and Caicos to anyone wanting to experience a bit of Heaven on earth.
Grace Bay Beach....wow
Je recommanderais
Best Carib location by far.
Worst Vacation Ever
Je ne recommanderais pas
Worst vacation ever. If all you want to do is lay on the beach and/or snorkel, then you'll love it. Otherwise, do yourself a favour and stay as far away from this place as possible. No public transportation. Cabs are self-regulated and incredibly expensive. One guy charged me $40USD for a 15 minute trip! Driving is very dangerous. There is nothing outside the Grace Bay Beach area. Nothing.
Relaxation at its finest
Je recommanderais
If you like calm, crystal clear waters, a relaxing and safe atmosphere then this is your place. The beach with it's stunning white sand and swimming pool clear water makes it an ideal beach lovers paradise. There are no large mega resort type properties here and it ensures lots of beach space for you to relax and enjoy. There are many restaurants to choose from offering world class menu options that range from fine dining to casual and includes a nice mix of local food as well. Turks does not have much to offer in terms of extreme adventure or nightlife which is why it's a great destination for those who want to lie out on the beach all day and finish off their night at a great restaurant. If you do feel like doing something during the day, there are some excursions offered that include snorkelling, scuba diving, visits to the other islands 9 including iguana island) or feel fre to rent a car at one of many car rental companies and explore the island on your own to either othr beaches or other restaurants not situated around your hotel.

Turks and Caicos was heaven on earth. We stayed at Aquamarine Beach Homes and that was amazing. The beach is miles long, the water crystal clear, the people, the food, the weather was totally unbelievable. Would we go back? In a heartbeat.
Turks and Caicos
Je recommanderais
Absolutely the best beaches and the beautiful clear waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling
A must visit!
Je recommanderais
What's not to love, white sugar beaches that you could walk out for hundreds of feet all owned by the island and not resorts; sunsets, warm water for snorkelling, amazing restaurants owned by canadians!! friendly people from all around the world; 20 minutes from one side of the island to the other. We had an amazing trip!
First time visisting
Je recommanderais
First time visiting Turks & Caicos, had a fantastic time, food was excellent every where we went toured the entire island by car amazing. Went parasailing for the first time and it was amazing as you could see the entire island. The water was unbeliveable, the people so friendly. We stayed at Turtle Cove Inn which was a great experience
Awesome Family Vacation
Je recommanderais
While on decent into PLS, the first thing you notice is the most beautiful turquoise water over Chalk Sound. Renting a condo townhouse this time, we decided to rough it by cooking our own meals. Catarmaran boat trip with Sail Provo was incredible. Got to visit Iguana Island and then onto the 3rd largest reef in the world to snorkel for an hour. Then onto Half Moon Cay for one of the nicest beaches to swim with sting rays. On the way back, the kids got to navigate the boat until it was time to dock. Culture and shopping was good with some very nice duty free stores. This was our second trip to PLS and will not be our last.
Paradise in Turks & Caicos
Je recommanderais
We went to Turks & Caicos in December 2010 and stayed at Club Med. The water was pure turquoise, and the sand was pure white. If you're a beach lover like me, this Island is for you.. with miles of undiscovered and luxurious white sand beaches surrounded by brilliant turquoise waters will satisfy your desires! No big crowds & vendors to hassle you. So serene and unreal..pictures don't do justice of how beautiful the beach is! The weather was perfect when we went. Not a drop of rain, it was bright and sunny with a temperature around 25 degrees celsius the whole time! We went on several excursions, including to an island called "Shell Island" with thousands of gorgeous seashells which gave us a lot of souvenirs to bring home! You can swim, lie in the sun or just have fun as this Island is in the middle of nowhere. We went snorkelling, and walked around the the beautiful, friendly and safe Provenciales. Club Med itself was so much fun. The drinks were delicious, and the food was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and the shows at night were fun and entertaining including a fantastic acrobatics show that was performed by the staff! You'd never guess they weren't professionals. We were very sad to leave, but hope we win this contest so we could return one day!
Je recommanderais
Turks and Caicos was the trip of a lifetime - I was looking at last minute deals to go back the day I got home. As a single female traveller, finding a fun, safe, place to go is a priority, and Turks and Caicos was it! Amazing beaches that went on for miles and miles, not crowded at all, beautiful turquoise ocean, sand like icing sugar, friendly people. Overall just a fabulous location - can't wait to go back soon!
Our daughter's wedding cruise
Je recommanderais
Our daughter got married on a Princess ship, and our favorite port was Turks and Caicos. An incredible white sandy beach with umbrellas, relaxation and beautiful views. Perfect for romance and drawing in the sand.
Best Beaches I've ever seen!!
Je recommanderais
When I walked onto the beach I literally needed someone to pinch me...I know it's cheesy but it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen...like a postcard come to life! Great destination to chill on the beach with a cocktail and a book. The water is prestine! The best place to swim if you are scared of the ocean...like my boyfriend lol! Stayed at the Beaches. With 16 unbelievable restaurants. By far the nicest resort ever! Not a lot to do culture wise (like someplace like Cuba) but by far the most beautiful paradise on the planet!!
Our Family vacation
Je recommanderais
We took a family vacation and thought it would be neat to try some where different! Turks and Caicos is truly a hidden paradise and people are starting to discover this beautiful island. We stayed at Beaches and this resort is stunning. So much effort by staff and management goes into their service. They cared, listend and it shows! Our kids had a experience like non before. I hope one day we return to continue where we left off. " Great memories "
Deeply Relaxing - Whether you want to or not!
Je recommanderais
My mother and I went to T & C earlier this year for a much needed break from the seemingly endless winter. The advertised turquoise water and white sand beaches sounded heavenly, and Turks didn't disappoint. Even from the air, I could see that the water here was much different than anything I've seen in the Caribbean thus far. We stayed at Club Med Turkoise, which is the only other all-inclusive resort on the island besides Beaches. What I noticed from the moment we landed until we left is that the island is generally quiet and laid back. With a population of around 5000 people, you never really experience rush hour or having to make your way through throngs of people. We visited beaches on Middle Caicos and North as well, and all of them were SPECTACULAR! Powder white sand, gorgeous clear water. The only disappointment about the water is that it's a bit chilly for the Caribbean, but still pleasant on a hot afternoon. Because of the lower population and the small size of the islands, there isn't much in the way of excursions or attractions off-resort, but we did rent a jeep and venture on our own, which I'd encourage everyone to do if they get the chance. The snorkeling is also fantastic for the enthusiasts All in all, it was a really good time and very relaxing, but unless you're staying at Beaches, I wouldn't recommend it for people with younger children as there is a lack of activities and attractions to keep them busy if they're not big on water sports.
Unbelievible Beautiful
Je recommanderais
It is a Must go, I really want to go there, so badly.... Thank to a friend of mine who went there anbd loved it. They suggestes me and my friend to go there! ;)
A relaxing getaway
Je recommanderais
The Turks and Caicos is truly a relaxing getaway. If all you want to do is lay on the beach, visit the Turks. We stayed along Grace Bay and enjoyed the white sand beach and crystal blue water without the hustle and bustle that comes with majority of the heavily populated tourist spots.
Perfect Anniversary Trip
Je recommanderais
Took my husband to the Turks and Caicos islands for his first time on our first year wedding anniversary. Coming from the West Coast, it makes such a huge difference to fly on Westjet instead of going through the states, we arrived fresh and ready to go! There are so many amazing hotels and dining options on the island, so we stayed at two hotels with the Gansevoort being our favorite on Provo. Loved the pool and beach staff who were always there to grab you a beverage or get you a lounger while we went for breakfast. We're already trying to make plans to go back just to get some sun!!

Reviews of this property
Quick response, quick followup and when things went wrong - the upstairs neighbours bathroom sprung a leak - we were immediately offered a new apartement if we desired - great service.
Apartment was as advertised - very Central, but next to Las Ramblas is pushing it slightly. But it is easily within walking distance (10 min). Pl. Espanya is also not much further away, so it is very central.
Turn left out of the door and left at the corner and then walk down two blocks (along Parlament) and you're at Poble Sec metro along Avenida parallell. From there you can go anywhere quickly.
The apartment is mainly furnished with IKEA furniture, which are functional. There is an electrical oven and ceramic top in the kitchen, for us who are not used to gas. 3 bedrooms, a small but functional living room, a 20 m3 terrace - which probably is nice when it is a bit warmer, a small utility room with washing machine, vacuum cleaner, steam iron and ironing board etc. In addition to heaters, there are two heat pumps. Bear in mind this is a Spanish building, which is a bit - different - then what many are used too. All in all though, a really nice place to stay.
The only "bad things" to be said are:
- the spanish are loud and in the morning and evening you will discover that there is little sound proofing. However, it is not a problem as it follows a normal day rhythm and in the evening it stops around 22:00 and becomes quiet.
- The apartment is on the backside of the building and there is no view. Again it also means it is quieter than the frontside, which is preferrable in my case.
I'd go back there in a heartbeat for my next vacation.
The apartment was a highlight of my stay in Barcelona. Everything from booking to checking out was easy and stress free. The apartment is clean and comfortable, has a lovely private terrace and is in a great location for seeing all of Barcelona. We were lacking in some items in the kitchen (ie. cutting board) but were able to make-do. I would have assumed that things like salt and pepper, tea bags etc. would be there for use but everything had to be bought which wasn't ideal because we were only there for three nights and a lot got left behind. It was lovely to be able to buy fresh baguettes from the patisserie and visit the cheese shop all within a five minute walk. Highly recommended!
Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und antwortet immer sehr schnell, was mich sehr gefreut hatte als ich Fragen hatte. Die Wohnung ist sauber und zentral gelegen.
Schade ist, dass man egal welches Fester man öffnet immer nur Mauer sieht. Küche Bad und zwei Zimmer liegen die Fester in einem Schacht. Grosses Schlafzimmer und Wohnzimmer ist die Mauer der Terrasse. Himmel sieht man nur wenn mann auf der Therese steht und nach oben schaut. Da ich gutes Wetter hatte und eh fast nie in der Wohnung war war das egal, bei Regenwetter hätte ich es nicht so lustig gefunden. Das Welan lief dafür bei mir sehr gut.
Ich danke für die schönen Tage in Barcelona.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very good apartment, ideally located in the Eixample center. Fully equipped on a top floor with balcony with the morning sun shining on it. After some starting problems the WIFI worked well.
the only unpleasant surprise was the outrageous commission WIMDU charged of approx. 75 Euros... That is almost 25 % of the price for the whole stay...
very good service at all, nice people! i can remmoned it!
Great location beautiful air-conditioned apartment with top service
top lage schöne klimatisierte wohnung mit top service
exclente location.
exclente ubicacion.
The apartment is very well located and easily accessible by the Communal transport. The stay was very pleasant. The terrace and the dining area is optimal. The kitchen is well equipped, for coffee pads must be concerned, because no classical coffee machine is available. The bedroom in the picture is great. The second bedroom of the apartment is very small and the window opens to a small inner bay (open upward), where some disturbing noises.
The handover of the apartment was very punctual with a very friendly introduction.
Das Appartment ist sehr gut gelegen und mit den öffenlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut erreichbar. Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die Terrasse und der Eßbereich ist optimal. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, für Kaffee müssen Pads besorgt werden, da keine klassische Kaffemaschine verfügbar ist. Das abgebildete Schlafzimmer ist super. Das zweite Schlafzimmer des Appartments ist sehr klein und das Fenster öffnet sich in einen kleinen Innenschacht (nach oben offen), in dem so manche störende Geräusche auftreten.
Die Übergabe des Appartments war sehr pünktlich mit einer sehr freundlichen Einweisung.
Well located housing. In the apartment, a few details about the services of the district (bakery, supermarket ...) and information about emergency medical services would be welcome.

Logement bien situé. Dans l'appartement, quelques précisions sur les services du quartier (boulangerie, supermarché...) et des informations sur les services médicaux d'urgence seraient les bienvenus.

The apartment is in a strategic position. Perfect for four people. I suggest the little things that should be included: a coat rack at the entrance, a towel to use in the kitchen and placemats for breakfast. Picccole things but they are very useful.
We have been good. Giovanna

The Red Storm fell to 0-1-1 on the year while SPU improved to 2-1-0.
Seattle Pacific struck first in the 38th minute to take a 1-0 lead. The Falcons got the goal when Emma Holm netted a shot just under the crossbar from nearly 30 yards out straight away.
"We came out and struggled to meet SPU for pace in the first half," head coach Kacey Bingham said afterwards. "Second half we came out much stronger and held them to minimal shots."
The Red Storm's first serious chance came early in the second half, when junior Kimberly Thurman (Sandy, UT/Alta) put a shot on goal that was cut short by SPU keeper Natalie Harold to keep the home team ahead.
The Falcons then made it 2-0 in the 70th minute when Josie Greybeal cross the ball to the right side of the box. Demi Whatley picked up the cross and snuck a shot by DSU goalie Stacie Gubler (Las Vegas, NV/Palo Verde) inside the right post for her first goal of the season.
Laura Moore capped the scoring with her third goal of the season - a diving header from the left post in the 82nd minute - giving Seattle Pacific a 3-0 lead.
Megan Marchbanks (Springville, UT/Springville) had a pair of one-on-one chances for the Red Storm late, but a shot with 12 seconds remaining in the match was snared by Harold to ensure the shutout.
Overall, Seattle Pacific outshot the Storm, 19-4. Gubler made five saves for DSU, while Harold recorded two.
Bingham added: "We missed two one-on-one opportunities. In the future, we need to finish those chances to compete with top ranked teams."
Dixie State will continue its road trip on Saturday as they take on nationally-ranked Western Washington at 5 p.m. Mountain (4 p.m. Pacific). The match against the No. 7 team in this week's National Soccer Coaches Association of America/NCAA Division II Top 25 Poll will be played at Orca Field on the campus of Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Wash.

|In response to Re: pipe noises
: I am a 30yr old plumber living in Boston, Mass. We here have recently experienced a really cold spell and a lot of old water mains are being replaced and it seems to me that water pressure is rising in a lot of houses. This message is in regards to houses with larger water mains (ie: 1 1/4", 1 1/2"). I went into a house that the plumbing system was making a very loud moaning noise is the best way to describe it even if no faucets were being used or anything. This problem stumped me and 2 of my associates until I put a pressure guage on the potable water system and sure enough the pressure would hang right around 80psi wich is real high anyway then drop 10 psi to about 68-70 psi and rise again. While it was rising the moaning noise would occur and particulary at the kitchen - bathroom tees. I ended up solving the problem with a pressure reducing valve and putting at about 55-60 psi. I wanted to share this to see if anyone else in the area has seen this problem anywhere else?

Fabulous Fendi
"I saw these in the store and thought I'd try them on for kick. The size of the heel looked menacing, but when I put them on, boy did I feel like a hot mama!They are pretty comfortably, and I think a big part of it has to do with the sole. Also, the heel is not stick skinny, so it provides a lot of support. I love them!"

The next evolution of electric touring car design: the TCX
The HB TCX has been in development for over a year, and has been test-driven by multiple World Champions to make it the fastest, most reliable and tunable machine on the track. It has been fully optimized for use with the most recent achievements in battery and motor technology. The HB TCX is the latest evolution of the world championship winning HB touring car platform.
Perfect Balance - Optimized for the Latest LiPo Gear
The main goal of the TCX chassis design was to place all components as close as possible to the center line while maintaining the left-to-right balance with the latest LiPo technology.
Motor Moved 4.5mm InsideTo move the heaviest items (the motor, servo and electronics) closer to the centre line of the car, also known as reducing the moment of inertia, a whole new layout of the chassis and the drive train is required. The configuration of the drive belts in the TCX has been reversed to create more room for the electronics to shift inwards. In addition to the radio gear moving inwards the unique TCX design also allows the motor to move by 4.5 mm, making a huge difference in overall weight distribution.
The Best-Ever HB Touring CarTo put it in pure and simple terms, the TCX has been designed with all of the above factors taken into account, driven by former IFMAR World Champions Atsushi Hara and Andy Moore at tracks around the world to make the it a first class racing machine.
We will present to you the facts of the TCX design so you can see how it is an almost completely new car from the ground up, and how we feel it will make YOU the local champion.
All-New Chassis
The TCX chassis is extra-narrow, more narrow than the TC car, helping to prevent any rubbing in tight corners, which would scrub off speed and make the car pitch unexpectedly from side to side. The 2.5mm woven graphite was chosen precisely for the TCX and is of the highest possible quality. A moulded battery holder is included for racers who prefer to not use strapping tape to hold their battery packs in place.
The one-piece top deck ensures completely equal flex over the entire car, from front to back, left to right. This gives you a more balanced drive and equal handling, with a much lower chance of tweaking the car after a crash. The fully symmetrical top deck features 4 mounting holes at both the front and rear bulkheads, allowing you to fine-tune the level of flex for different traction levels. You also have a central hole to allow the mounting of TC-style single bellcrank steering. The 2mm thick woven graphite is of the same quality as the main chassis, meaning it's the absolute best we could find. Finally, the top deck also holds a belt tensioner, which keeps the front belt in place during hard braking.
Compact Bulkheads
The bulkheads on the TCX are a brand new fully symmetrical design, and are now the same front and rear, and also left to right. Featuring a more compact design, they are 3mm closer together than on the TC, allowing you to run longer top links for more suspension action, and the belts are also able to run closer to the centerline of the car. Our eccentric cam belt tensioner is used to tighten up the belts as they break in.
The TCX uses nearly all of the same suspension parts that the TC kit uses, with reversible lower arms for extra shock positions, droop screws, turnbuckles, plus easily adjustable wheelbase, track width, anti-squat, toe-in and roll centre for complete adjustability. The narrower bulkheads are taken advantage of with longer top links, which make the car easier to drive faster through the turns.
Fine Pitch Shock Towers
With the new bulkheads come new shock towers, which are again made from the highest-quality woven carbon fiber. At 3.65mm thick, they easily support all the load from the shocks and wheels! These are extra tough, extra stiff units, with 7 front shock positions and 8 rear positions in a linked hole style, for extra-fine track adjustments.
Threaded TC Shocks
The shocks fitted on the TCX are the same that came on the TC - meaning they are the best touring car shocks you can find anywhere. The upper and lower ends of the shock body feature extra fine-pitch threads for the shock caps, and the bottom end uses a single o-ring design for minimal 'stiction' - that initial grab that an old and tired o-ring can give the shock shaft. A finely threaded shock collar gives you easy and instant ride height adjustments, and perfectly fits the full range of HB High Quality Matched Springs, #66961-#66965.
Twin-Crank Steering
New for the TCX is a twin-crank steering design, which makes the most of your control inputs and gives you a much better driving feel on the track. The all-aluminium steering rack floats on shielded ball bearings to maximize efficiency and give extremely smooth response. The steering Ackerman angle is also easily adjustable with shims under the rack ball studs. Our drivers say this steering design gives them more corner speed over the older TC-style central steering system, but if you prefer the TC steering, it is possible to fit the centre steering system directly onto the TCX.
Full Set of Sway Bars
Infinitely adjustable ball stud sway bar mounts are included to let you instantly de-tweak the car so it's quickly ready to go for your next race. In the TCX kit you will get a full set of front and rear sway bars to fine-tune the suspension at each end of the car. The kit includes 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4mm sway bars for the full range of HB options.
Centralized Low-Profile Motor Mount
Another all-new area of the TCX, the design here allows the motor to move 4.5mm closer to the centerline of the car for vastly improved balance, while the motor does not touch the chassis in any way, removing the possibility of unwanted flex or tweak from the motor. Horizontal motor mount screw slots make the motor mount as low as possible, while keeping the motor mount completely below the top deck - a unique feature to the TCX, and something that helps keep the motor as close the centre of the car as possible. The mounting slots also allow for easier gear meshing.
New Belt Layout
The drive belts front and rear have been arranged so the rear belt is now on the left side of the car, with the front belt on the right side. This allows the servo and electronics gear such as receiver, speedo and transponder to sit closer to the centerline of the car, improving the balance immeasurably.
New Layshaft and Pulleys
The all-new one-piece pulleys fit on the layshaft with a simple pin fastening, eliminating the grub screw of earlier designs. The layshaft is narrower, owing to the more compact drivetrain design, and also uses a simple one-piece spur gear mount. The 20T pulleys are brand new, and combined with the 39T pulleys the TCX is more efficient at getting the power to the tyres.
Extra-Lightweight Front Spool
Every racing electric touring car these days is fitted with a front spool to eliminate diff action, greatly enhance braking and increase traction and the spool fitted in the TCX is an extra-strong lightweight 3-piece design. The central part of the spool is machined from lightweight aluminium, then anodized bright purple. The outdrives are made from lightweight POM material - feather-light, extremely durable and very stiff - and then fitted with aluminium sleeves to prevent splitting under acceleration and braking.
Super-Smooth and Lightweight Rear Diff
The rear differential is made from lightweight POM plastic fitted with 12 3mm ceramic nitride diff balls for extra-slick and consistent diff action with the latest high-power motors. Our drivers consistently use motors in the 3.5 turn range and tell us the diff is so durable that they have to rebuild less than half as often compared to the older diff - so you know it's up to the task.
Aluminium Universal Drive Shafts
With aluminium driveshafts (laser-etched with the HB logo, of course) for light weight and steel axles for durability and strength, the TCX driveshafts are the perfect fit for the job. The front driveshafts have been lengthened by 2mm because of the narrow bulkhead positioning, and the constant velocity design eliminates wasted power, ensuring that when you want the power to hit the ground, it will.
Even the smallest details are looked after on the TCX, and our World Team Drivers are always telling our designers what they'd like to see on the newest kits. Below are some of the minor, yet still important, details the TCX offers kit owners.
Battery Mounting System Pro racers like to use fibre strapping tape to hold their batteries in place, which is lightweight and perfect for their needs. The TCX kit also comes with a quick and secure battery mounting system which doesn't require any tape at all.
Hex Hardware The TCX uses a full set of black-coated hex-head hardware throughout. Every screw, bolt and fixing uses standard-size hex wrenches, ranging from 1.5mm to 2.5mm in size.
Off-Road Style Antenna Holder HB designers came up with an antenna holder that will keep your antenna tube locked into position: a steel grub screw secures the antenna in place from the top, gripping it securely, no matter how rough a race you might find yourself in.
Already a Winner!

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that may affect many different parts of the body. Small round spots, called granulomas, form in various organs. The spots slow down normal functioning of those organs.
The cause of sarcoidosis is not known. It seems to be related to malfunctioning of the immune system. The disease may be triggered by an infection or exposure to a toxin in the environment.
Some people may be more susceptible to sarcoidosis due to genetic or environmental factors.
Sarcoidosis is more common in females and at ages 20 to 40 years old. Factors that may increase the chance of sarcoidosis include:
Symptoms vary and can occur in different parts of the body, depending on where the granulomas form. Most symptoms develop in the lungs, skin, eyes, and liver. Multiple body systems may be affected. Symptoms may come and go. This disease is often acute, but in some people, it is chronic.
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An eye exam may also be done. There is no specific lab test that confirms a diagnosis of sarcoidosis, but tests may include:
Imaging tests evaluate bodily structures. These may include:
Your heart activity may be tested. This can be done with an
Your lung function may be tested. This can be done with
pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
Diagnosis is based on all of the following criteria:
Treatment aims to ease symptoms and minimize permanent problems. Treatment may include:
You need regular medical and eye exams to monitor for symptoms and complications of sarcoidosis.
Drugs that may be prescribed include the following:

Proposed food-safety rules: Many locals believe they're already in line
January 20, 2013
For more
To learn more about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's new proposed rules or how to provide comments, go to http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FSMA/.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has proposed the most sweeping changes in food-safety rules in decades, which could potentially add half a billion dollars annually in costs for the agriculture and food-processing industries and add to the uncertainty many producers face already.
The proposed regulations come in the aftermath of recent deadly outbreaks linked to peanuts, cantaloupes and leafy greens.
Local farmers and food packagers and processors say they want safe food as much as anyone; many of their families, friends and neighbors are the ones eating the finished product, and the fallout of food-borne illnesses could devastate their business.
Many locals say they already spend the dollars to go above and beyond current state and federal rules to produce safe food — the proposed rules just create uncertainty of what's expected in the future, and uncertainty of how much it will cost.
"Generally, you won't find anyone who wants the food to be as safe as the guy who's producing it," said Mike Hungenberg, a vegetable grower north of Greeley, whose Hungenberg Produce is best known for its large carrot output — packaging and shipping out about 300 tons daily during the five-month carrot season, which goes to Walmart, King Soopers, Kroger, Safeway and Sprouts stores, and can be found across the United States. "Most guys around here are already doing everything in their power to make sure they're producing safe food."
Although the details of the new rules won't be ironed out for some time, Hungenberg said he believes most operations in Weld County "shouldn't be affected too much" by whatever is passed.
"The guys around here have stayed ahead of the curve," he said. "But we are dealing with the government here. It's tough to know exactly what will come out of this."
The Hungenbergs are among those who took extra food-safety precautions recently.
Hungenberg and his brother, Paul, who represent the fourth generation at Hungenberg Produce, invested about $1 million this past year to improve the company's food-safety and sanitation measures at its carrot-packing facility north of Greeley on Weld County Road 39½.
Through 108 years in business, Hungenberg Produce has never experienced a recall of its vegetables, nor has the company had to halt production due to any food-safety violations.
The new produce rule would mark the first time the FDA has had real authority to regulate food on farms, according to The Associated Press.
FDA officials calculated that the new rules could add nearly half a billion dollars annually in production costs for the agriculture and food-processing industries — costs some say could trickle down to consumers.
If adopted, the new food-safety rules, still under review, would require farmers to take precautions against food contamination by making sure irrigation water is clean, workers wash their hands and animals are kept out of fruit and vegetable fields — measures Hungenberg and other Weld County growers say are in place on their operations, and are being taken by many of their neighbors.
On paper, the proposed rules would apply only to the fruits and vegetables that pose the greatest risks of food-bourne illnesses.
However, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said this month he's hearing concerns from farmers in northern Colorado, particularly some in Weld County who grow crops for livestock feed, wondering how "unintended consequences" of the new rules might affect them and add to their costs.
"Simply put, a lot more discussions need to be had before we agree on anything," Gardner said. "It's creating a lot of uncertainty among our producers."
Additionally, some experts and farm groups say a one-size-fits-all approach to the new rules could put small and mid-sized farm operations out of business, consolidate agricultural markets, and eliminate opportunities for food and farm entrepreneurs in emerging sectors of agriculture — including organic and local and regional food systems.
With the new rules, a food-safety plan would also be required for food manufacturers as evidence that efforts are being made to keep their operations clean.
Ted Wietecha, a spokesman for Leprino Foods, which has a dairy-processing facility in Greeley, said the company already has "some of the most stringent food safety practices in the industry," going "above and beyond state and federal regulations." He said he doesn't believe Leprino would undergo an overhaul in operations if new rules are in place.
FDA officials say the proposed changes should help the government entity operate much better, taking it from an agency that reacts to food crises to a proactive operation that can prevent contamination from occurring.
Every year, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 3,000 people die from food-borne illnesses, with about one in six Americans becoming ill from eating contaminated food annually.
The new rules could prevent nearly two million illnesses each year, according to federal officials.
However, it could take the FDA a year just to craft the new regulations.
Larger farms would then have two years to comply, with small farms being given even more time.
"Food-safety regulations are a good thing, but there's already a lot of people out here doing the right thing," Mike Hungenberg said. "Hopefully those people can just keep doing what they're doing, and not have to put too many dollars into changing how they do it."

This is the sixth year Dow's Karate has held a haunted house at the karate school in Ferron.
The Dow's said, "It started when we had a haunted house in our basement for my husband Larry's family birthday get together and has grown to a big idea. We have family and friends who donate their time to help set up, scare people and tear it back down. There is a small cost and a donation of a non-perishable item for the Emery Food Bank. This year we split the proceeds between Emery and Carbon County Food Banks.
"This year we donated almost $100 and 23 pounds of food to each of them. In these hard economic times the need is even greater and we are trying to do our part for the local communities. This year's theme was Psycho Circus complete with chainsaws."

"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen.

"Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science?"

Theresa's Story - The Pain Management Program At The Nebraska Medical Center
About this Video
Posted 2/25/2015
After suffering a job-related injury, Theresa Law thought her life was over. She saw doctor after doctor, and tried treatment after treatment. Nothing worked. But after a family friend referred her to the Pain Management Program at The Nebraska Medical Center, all that changed. After months or years of chronic pain, the body generates a map to pain that is difficult to break. The nervous system changes and what may have been a problem that could have been treated very easily, now becomes much more complicated. When medications, injections, physical therapy and chiropractic services have failed in managing pain, the Pain Management Program at The Nebraska Medical Center offers innovative treatment. Relying on a team of experts, the Pain Management Program uses a multidisciplinary approach to managing chronic pain. The program has been in existence for more than 40 years and is the second-longest pain management program in the country. For more information, visit www.NebraskaMed.com or call 1-800-922-0000.

Twenty20 world champions West Indies again found comfort in the shortest format as they ended an otherwise forgettable tour of Australia with a 27-run win in Brisbane.
- Related Content
Johnson Charles' 57 helped the Windies to an imposing 191 for six before an under-strength Australian side stuttered in pursuit.
Adam Voges' quickfire half-century gave the hosts hope but when he, and Shaun Marsh, were run out midway through the innings Australia needed more than 10 and over to win.
Brad Haddin briefly threatened to meet that, swiping 19 from one Narsingh Deonarine over, but the Windies bowlers kept calm to secure victory in the one-off match.
Keiron Pollard was the pick of the bowlers taking three for 30 as Australia finished on 164 for eight.
Victory was the Windies third in a row against Australia - including last year's thumping World Twenty20 semi-final success - and helped regain some of the pride lost after their 5-0 whitewash in the one-day internationals.
That heavy series reverse had left skipper Darren Sammy calling on his side to prove why they are world champions in the final game of their brief tour.
Australia were weakened by a host of first-choice players having already flown out to India for the upcoming Test series meaning three debutants - Ben Rohrer, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Josh Hazlewood - were called upon.
Seamers Coulter-Nile and Hazelwood were quickly under pressure as the Windies batsman made a flying start.
After Chris Gayle's latest failure - the opener survived the simplest of drops from Haddin only to make eight - Charles and Darren Bravo set the foundation for a big score.
The pair put on 88 in 55 balls with Johnson, fresh from his century in the fifth ODI, reaching his half-century with an array of unorthodox shots.
Coulter-Nile eventually got him to chop a slower ball onto his stumps and while Darren Bravo was run out soon after, following a mix-up with Pollard, the Windies accelerated towards 200.
James Faulkner (three for 28) attempted to slow their progress, removing Pollard and Dwayne Bravo in the 17th over, but Andre Russell blasted an unbeaten 23 from 11 balls.
The all-rounder and Deonarine took 17 off Coulter-Nile's final over.
Australia's chase began badly when out-of-form opener Aaron Finch chopped on before Perth Scorchers pair Marsh and Voges steadily attempted to lay a winning platform in a 74-run stand.
Voges was more fluent, reaching his half-century off 31 balls, while Marsh was seemingly gathering himself after reaching 21 from 19 balls.
But any assault was circumvented when Marsh was caught short by Tino Best's throw from point before wicketkeeper Devon Thomas ran Voges out in the next over attempting to steal a single.
With more than 10 an over required Australia's new men to the crease needed to hit the ground running.
George Bailey and Haddin initially did just that with the wicketkeeper twice clearing the mid-wicket rope in Deonarine's expensive 14th over.
But Haddin was out in the next from Pollard, when a diving Russell held on well in the deep, leaving the Australian tail with too much to do.

Splendid chapter. I really hope Chopper winds up kicking Caesar's ass when he gets switched back. It's been a while--not since Hogback--since Chopper has exhibited true rage for another doctor's malpractice/unethical health care. It would be great to see him bust out some of his newfound monster side and take it to CC.
Also, besides the fact Zoro, Brook and Sanji got taken out (Zoro looks like he never drew his swords, Sanji is in Nami's body adn at a disadvantage, and Brooke looks like he tried to fight back? *sword in snow), I wonder if the Yeti brothers are true giants or simply mythically/cryptidly modified long leg tribe members....O.o
would be great for chopper to beat Ceasars ass, so his bounty could rise from 50 berry near the bounty from the others...
awesome chapter, like always.
lmao at robin's reaction for franky's expressions in chopper's body
what if those giants were good old samples of what he is trying to do with the kids, make them his giant army maybe?
People allowed to fight Ceaser:
Luffy; Main character vs big bad.
Zoro; Former bounty hunter vs former bounty hunter
Franky; Copied Vegapunks designs.
Chopper; Payback for child abuse.
People allowed to fight Law:
Luffy; friendly fight
Zoro; Swordsmen vs Swordsmen
Chopper; Doctor vs Doctor
Smoker; Payback
Tashigi; Payback
Kinemon; Payback
People allowed to fight Monet:
Nami; catfight
Robin; catfight
Now the question being are these two new players, big players like Monet and Law, or small players like Brownbeard.
Note: every time One piece brings up candy, I now think of Big Mam.
I Love You!
I think it would be stupid for zorro sanji and brook getting outclassed in a normal fight with those brothers. there IS something fishy!
I actually want luffy and probably the rest of the strawhats to "own" the brothers badly and very quick, so ceasar sees they are not to be joking with!
also what´s best to prove someones haki as having a logia type bad boy in the mix?

Here it is
SS arc (5/5)
TBTP flashbacks (4/5)
Any scene with Urahara (3/5)
Aizen standing still for 2 yrs (2/5)
Foolbringers arc (1/5)
Here it is
Bloody brilliant, a freaking Vasto lorde in the midle of Karakura...
Overall a good chap, Ryu was a much "brighter" person in the past, guess he was changed by Masaki's death?
So masaki was meant to mary ishida ryuken by arrangement.... and that katagiri maid is probably ishida's mother.... who ryuken fell for....her hair is black and her face kinda reminds me of uuryu
And this hollow is surely a vasto lorde to have vested isshin... and attacked masaki... so that is why ichigo has a hollow side imo... it only validates what ginjou said before they're mothers were attacked by hollows before they were born and that hollow residue remained within their mother and was passed down to him when masaki got pregnant whilst he was in her womb.... this explains the similarity of ichigo's hollow form that killed ulquiorra, its masks and the long mullet hair and the blade like hands looks like ichigo's current bankai blade that was broken too... it really connects the dots as to what ichigo is... this hollow is too similar to ichigo's hollow final form to be just a coincidence....
If it really is a vasto lorde... it meant that masaki was strong... and it'll prove the point about what kubo mentioned before that "isshin and ichigo taught it was grand fisher who killed masaki, this may not be true, THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED"
WTF! I literally screamed like a little girl in my head when Ichigo's hollow showed up there at the end. I am totally agreeing with my2kb22 here. It makes too much sense. For all of Kubo's trolling, he seems to be hitting shit outta the park lately.
Also, its scary how accurate so many predictions were on the relationship between Ryuken, Isshin and Masaki. I wonder if that is why Ryuken doesn't like Uruyu being a Quincy so much, like he always says he has no talent. What if it all goes back to him not being a pureblood because he never did the deed with Masaki?
aaaand no bleach next week.
@SquadZero Good point about Ryuuken's attitude towards Uryuu.
I think Ryuuken's current attitude towards Uryuu is partially imposed by his mother's elitist attitude towards him when he was growing up. It's only natural that Ryuuken defied his mother and married a non-quincy (in this case, the maid), only to regret it later on when Masaki dies. I can totally see Ryuuken pulling a Kakashi later for not protecting Masaki because he went with his heart and broke his mother's 'rules'. Not to mention that the person he let go fell in love with a then-enemy, Shinigami - all because he felt that the heart should choose who it belongs to.
On another note though, I'm curious to see how the hollow elements get implemented into the story. Ginjou did mention it briefly but I always thought it was just too brief of a thing to explain, I hope that this arc explains the mother-hollow-fullbringer relationship.
Definitely one of the better Bleach chapters of late.
Hichigo... now I have to wonder if perhaps the moment that Misaki jumped to protect Ichigo from Grandfisher's attack, Hichigo took over Ichigo for a second and mortally wounded her... you know, since he beside that moment never faced a hollow (only later on with Rukia) it's possible that it could have sparked the hollow in him.
For this to be a Vasto Lord, it would have been strange seeing as Aizen was trying out Hollowfication/Shinigamition process at that time, so this might be half Shinigami anyway.
I wonder how would Ishin react to Ichigo's H2 form.
Another nice chapter
-Ryuken originally to marry masaki
-Maid could be ishida's mom
-Isshin faces a vasto lorde(kind of)
-Could prove the connection ichigo's hollow(considering the clear similarities with this hollow)
-Overall very very good chapter for me
Well, about the "Vasto Lorde", It is a Certainty that Masaki hasn't met Isshin yet, and she's probably not presently Pregnant. If Hichigo and Fullbring powers were derived from this particular Hollow, it would have to be that the Hollow comes back again later, when Isshin and Masaki had had a chance to get acquainted.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Ok much of the back story was predictable but the Vasto Lord/Hollowfication thing at the end obviously reminiscent of Ichigo's transformation.
It kinda looks like Tier Harribe
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
My jaw dropped when I saw the Vasto Lord, and it went another few inches when I saw it looked like Ichigo as a hollow, this is just an amazing twist. Now it comes out in the rain, but I don't think I've ever seen Ichigo go hollow during the rain, I wonder if anything would happen if he did.

Constable: impressions of land, sea and sky
3 March – 12 June 2006
Go to Constable: impressions of land, sea and sky subsite
John Constable Great Britain 1776–1837 A boat passing a lock 1826 oil on canvas 101.6 x 127.0cm Collection of the Royal Academy of Arts, London © Royal Academy of Arts, London 1996. Photographer: Prudence Cuming Associates
Nature is the fountain's head, the source from whence all originality must spring.
John Constable
In March 2006 the National Gallery of Australia presents the first major John Constable exhibition in Australia for over thirty years.
The exhibition will show Constable's brilliant depiction of nature, how he animated the landscape, created a sense of air and made nature come alive. Influential on artists painting landscapes outdoors, in expanding the range of colours used and in a greater freedom of handling of paint, his art became the benchmark for landscape painters in Europe during the nineteenth century.
John Constable (1776–1837) was one of the foremost English landscape painters of the nineteenth century, renowned for his pure and unaffected representation of nature. The son of a prosperous mill owner, merchant and barge operator, he grew up along the Stour River in Suffolk, England and spent several years working in his father's business, where he learnt to understand the importance of weather to an agricultural community, observing atmospheric phenomena with a disciplined eye.
Constable was a great innovator; he combined his deep understanding of nature with a passionate interest in the works of the Old Masters, in particular the landscape painting of Claude Lorraine and Jacob van Ruisdael, juxtaposing their interpretations of the natural world against his own experience of it. His rapid on-the-spot sketches, such as Rainstorm over the sea c 1824–28, revealed a new vivacity to the observation of nature, capturing the effervescent sensations of light and atmosphere.
The exhibition showcases the extraordinary range of Constable's work, from outdoor sketches to masterpieces such as Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds
1822–23 and The Vale of Dedham 1827–28.
Over 100 works have been selectively drawn together from distinguished museums and private collections in Great Britain, the United States and Australia, including the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, Tate Britain, Victoria and Albert Museum, Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut, and The Frick Collection, New York.
The exhibition is presented thematically to show key phases of Constable's approach to the landscape, such as his well-known cloud studies illustrating the astonishing range and skill of his oil sketching methods, and what may well be his favorite subject, the lock – including his Royal Academy Diploma work, A boat passing a lock 1826.
Of particular relevance to this country is Constable's influence on the origins of landscape painting in Australia – through John Glover, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton. A special display titled Constable in Australia has been included within the exhibition, allowing the Australian public to explore Constable's influence on Australian art through much-loved Australian landscape paintings.
Constable: impressions of land, sea and sky is curated by Dr Anne Gray, Assistant Director, Australian Art, and Dr John Gage, who has taught for twenty years in the Department of History of Art, Cambridge University, is a fellow of the British Academy and recently worked on an exhibition of Constable for the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-colour catalogue with essays from renowned Constable Scholars: Conal Shields, The Thomson Collection; MaryAnne Stevens, Acting Secretary, Royal Academy of Arts; Mark Evans, Senior Curator of the Word and Image, Victorian & Albert Museum; and Ann Galbally, Associate Professor, Department of Fine Arts Melbourne University.
Significant education and public programs accompany the exhibition, including a lecture series, artist talks, student and teacher workshops, films and special events.
Developed by the National Gallery of Australia in partnership with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Constable: impressions of land, sea and sky will be shown at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra from 3 March to 12 June 2006, and at the Museum of New Zealand, Wellington from 5 July to 8 October 2006.

Comments: Feels like what a nimbus should feel like!! The 15's have the ride of the 14 with the cushion of the 13. Well done Asics!!
From: Mike, Louisiana
Comments: I'm 6'2", 200lbs, run 12-20miles week. I currently use the New Balance 759 and ran my first run, 4 miler, in these 15's. Heel cushion about the same feel, remembering the NB are at about 200 miles or so broken in. The 15's forefoot is much more cushioned and has a nice heel cup. The weight is similar. The toe box is open and almost too open for my foot in the regular width. For the price I would have expected a seamless sock liner in them. The positives outweigh the negatives, so they are a go for me.
From: SlowButRunning, Daegu, South Korea
Comments: I was running in the New Balance 411 and had worn the shoes down somewhat when I started having trouble with my knees after runs. I read several forums and watched several videos on running and the contributing factors to the various hazards of using worn/improper fitting shoes. I bought the Asics Gel Numbus 15 and couldn't believe the difference in the comfort level. It kinda felt like putting small pillows around your feet and actually enabled me to increase my range as a result of the absence of knee pain. I bought the Black/White/Royal color and my wife wishes there were a women's pair of the same color. I won't even complain about the price due to the fact that Running Warehouse was cheaper and offered free shipping. You can't ask for much more than that in a shoe and a business. Fine job to both!!
From: Scott, Saluda, South Carolina
Comments: Nimbus 15 feels a lot like 11, 12, and 13. 14 was lacking gel in mid and rear. 15 is a very nice ride. I can easily log 500 plus miles on this shoe. The outsoles will wear out before the cushioning. Weekly mileage varies from 12 to 18 miles, and I have high arches. The sizing down was not an issue but required per manufacturer. I normally do not wear socks also. The lime green color scheme is nice but not over the top.
From: Tim City, Shreveport, LA, USA
Comments: This is a continuation of the previous post. I did my first run in these shoes and they have excellent cushioning and shock absorption. I am 6 foot tall and weight 245 and these shoes were like running on a cloud even at my bodyweight. As far as the size goes, these do seem to run a slight bit big but that turned out to be perfect for me. Since running in these I can now tell that my Brooks were a little on the snug side. I would definitely recommend these running shoes to anyone seeking a neutral, shock absorbing, extremely cushioned ride. Hope this helps.
From: Jon, PA
Comments: My previous running shoes were Brooks Defyance 5's in size 12.5 length and 2E width. I just rec'd these Asics Gel Nimbus 15's in size 12.5 length and 2E width today. They fit me perfectly. I kept brain-storming about what size to get. I used shoe-fit-r and that definitely helped. I kept reading about how these shoes ran big but they fit perfect for me. If I had bought the regular width since it said they ran big then I would have had to ship them back for the 2E width. Also, I am a heavy runner. I am 6'0" tall and weigh 245. I will post in the future about how the shoes hold up.
From: Jon, PA
Comments: Unfortunately, fit problems made these a no-go for me. They run long and loose, but not so long that you can size down effectively.
From: Marco, Tustin, CA
Comments: I have done 2 runs since receiving my Nimbus 15s from Running Warehouse and love the extra gel in the forefoot. Asics Nimbus are the best from the 11's through the 15's for me. I am 6'0 and weigh 202 and the Nimbus have the cushioning I need.
From: Bill, Hot Springs, AR
Comments: Great shoes, took them out of box and ran Cleveland Marathon. I know you shouldn't do that, but my 14s were shot. Great comfort, no blisters. Best Nimbus in a few years.
From: Jerame, Newark, Ohio
Comments: I've had the Nimbus 15 for about a month, run about 25 to 30 miles per week and put these through a few 9-10 miles runs (mainly alternating between the 13's and 15's). The cushioning is great and ride is super smooth, worth a bit of extra weight. I have the Nimbus 13's and prefer the 15's - a bit more room in the toe box and they just feel more comfortable when running 6 plus miles. Overall this is a great shoe, I would buy these again. Note: these do run about a 1/2 size big as a few have commented so order accordingly, I've used the shoe fitter for these and the Saucany Kinvara 3's, and shoe fitter tool works great.
From: Rob, Madison, FL, USA
Comments: I bought these about a month ago, the 15 is better then the 13, improved fit in the toe box and more cushion. I run 4 to 10 miles per run 5 to 6 days a week (25 to 30 miles per week). Last Sunday I took the 15s on a 10 miler, the 15s were smooth and plenty of padding for the whole run, felt really comfortable on the feet. The shoe does run about 1/2 size bigger then other Asics (13's, 2000's). I don't find the weight of the shoe to be an issue, it's a good trade for a smooth ride. I would buy the 15s again, a great trainer and great comfort on the long runs.
From: Rob, Madison, FL, USA
Comments: I love these shoes! 13.5 2E perfect fit, awesome cushioning. the best shoes ever
From: Anonymous
Comments: So far so good!!! I am a true fan of Nimbus. I have tried most max cushion/neutral running shoe brands and Asics just work for me. I run 15 to 20 miles per week, monthle 5K-10K's, and 3-4 to half marathons per year and love the cushion Nimbus provide. I do miss the offset lacing of the 12's, could not run on the 13's, 14's were OK they took some time to break in and did not provide enough cushion much beyond 300 miles. NOW the 15's seem to be major cush, wider toe box from the 14's, were ready from the first run vs. "break in time" of the 15's. I have the Lt/pnch/Marigold color-- I like orange! So simply, I am very happy with the Nimbus 15.
From: Lisa, Michigan
Comments: The nimbus 15 is a good shoe. It fits better than the 14 did because it has more room in the midfoot area. When running with the shoe you can tell it is heavier than the last two models. I think it has a lot more support because of this. For a runner with more body weight it is a great shoe. The size of the shoe fit me just like the last ones did.
From: Brandon, Kansas
Comments: This is an updated review on the Nimbus 15s. I originally noticed they were sized longer than prior versions, but questioned whether I needed to size down. After a few more runs in them it became increasingly apparent that I needed to size down. I exchanged for 1/2 size smaller and they fit much better without feeling tight at all. Sizing down 1/2 is the way to go with this version.
From: Howard, Cincinnati
Comments: The Nimbus 7 was one of my favorite shoes but subsequent versions were nothing like it (the Excel33 1 is the closest I've found). I tried the Nimbus 10 and found the upper to be too stiff, the midole to be too inflexible and firm yet unresponsive, and the ride to be quite unsmooth. I didn't bother with subsequent versions since they didn't seem like enough of a deviation from the 10. This one is quite different. I found the cushioning and responsiveness of the Nimbus 15 to be superior to both the Glycerin 10 and Vomero 7. If I were a bigger runner I'd definitely prefer the Glycerin, though. The Glycerin is definitely smoother but less responsive. It also has more of a glove-like fit which I don't prefer in a training shoe. Between the Vomero and Nimbus, the Nimbus has a more comfortable fit and flexible upper.
From: TSP, HVL, CA
Comments: I thought these were the cream of the crop for a neutral high milage trainer. I was tired of putting in 20+ miles a week on my Kinvaras. Turns out I was seduced by the looks. Blisters on top of blisters and a bloody heal after a week's worth of runs. I sent them back. Not sure what happened.
From: Kurt, Yukon, OK, USA
Comments: The Nimbus 15 in my opinion is an improvement over the 14. Issues with the tongue of the 14 have been resolved in the 15. More padding was included through the length of the tongue and the bottom of the tongue is visibly redesigned to eliminate the pinch. The heel cup and arch wrap are similar in feel to the prior version while there is more volume in the toe box. The 15s may be sized slightly longer than the 14s. Depending on your foot size you may or may not want to size down. In my case I believe sizing down would be too tight. Cushioning is better, especially in the forefoot. From the side view, there appears to be more gel units. The 15s also feel more flexible out of the box than the 14s. As a mid-foot striker, I like the ride and responsiveness of the 15s better than the 14s.
From: Howard, Cincinnati
Comments: What a disappointment. I have run in Nimbus exclusively as an everyday trainer and thought that the 14, although a bit heavy, had a great fit and ride. I bought the 15 and they run big, feel not like a running shoe and is way too heavy. In addition the colors are awful. I returned them immediately and got the cumulus 15 which feel much more like a true running shoe.
From: Pauli, New York, New York, USA
Comments: I completely agree with the comment from Anonymous. Unfortunately I'm hoping the "generous" fit in the first pair I purchased can be resolved with some lace tweaking as opposed to ordering another pair sized down a little. The Nimbus 15's feel fantastic before you even open the door and didn't disappoint one bit out on the road. I recently purchased every Nimbus 12 I could find, since the 13 and 14 versions were not what I had hoped for. However, the 15 makes up for it. Unfortunately I see many of the 15's being exchanged as everyone settles in to the new sizing. Great job Asics!
From: Mark, Warrenton, Virginia
Comments: Got a chance to try these early. The cushion is substantially improved from the last version. The ride is more flexible and the upper and midsole are very comfortable. The fit is quite generous.

Army to close ETSU's ROTC program
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A local university is in the crosshairs of the U.S. government after the Army decides to close 13 officer training programs across the country; one of those programs is at East Tennessee State University.
About eight months ago, ETSU learned the U.S. Army was looking at closing Reserve Officer Training Corps programs across the country. The Army says it's a way to be more efficient with resources and maintain ROTC programs in all 50 states.
School president Dr. Brian Noland got word Wednesday night that the Buccaneer Battalion was being axed by Secretary of the Army John McHugh.
In true Army fashion, ETSU plans to fight. "We will examine the metrics through which they made the decision and then we will work vigorously to defend the program," Noland told us.
222 students are currently enrolled in the military science program. 54 have already made a commitment to the United States Army Officer Corps and don't want to leave, even though the Army will allow freshman and sophomores to transfer.
Morgan Smith is a sophomore in the program. "No, I'm not playing that card. This is where I want to be. I compete with the Eddie Reed Ranger Challenge. This is where my heart is and where I'm trying to stay," she said.
Cadet Smith tells us she's going to try and finish her undergrad work a year early so she can be commissioned at ETSU.
There is plenty of disappointment in the Corps of Cadets, and in the school administration too. "It's a loss of part of your soul. ROTC is part of the fabric of this university. I had a chance to train with our cadets. They're more than students, these young men and women are leaders across campus," Noland said.
They are more than leaders -- they're a tight-knit group of future soldiers who've taken an oath to defend the country. "Honestly, we're a family and we're being torn apart," Smith told us.
It's a family with the backing of Tennessee Congressman Phil Roe. "I'm hopeful that through a concerted effort coordinated by Congressman Roe that we can show the caliber of excellence possessed by our cadets," Noland said.
And, hopefully, turn the tide of the Army back in favor of ETSU.
Dr. Noland says they will commission 15 cadets this school year, and another 20 in 2014, with the hope of commissioning 25 more by the program's end, which will coincide with the conclusion of the 2014-2015 academic year.
