Fields of contemporary economics > International economics
Ever since 19th-century economists put forth their theories of international economics, the subject has consisted of two distinct but connected parts: (1) the pure theory of international trade, which seeks to account for the gains obtained from trade and to explain how these gains are distributed among countries, and (2) the theory of balance-of-payments adjustments, which analyzes the workings of the foreign exchange market, the effects of alterations in the exchange rate of a currency, and the relations between the balance of payments and level of economic activity.
In modern times, the Ricardian pure theory of international trade was reformulated by American economist Paul Samuelson, improving on the earlier work of two Swedish economists, Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin. The so-called Heckscher-Ohlin theory explains the pattern of international trade as determined by the relative land, labour, and capital endowments of countries: a country will tend to have a relative cost advantage when producing goods that maximize the use of its relatively abundant factors of production (thus countries with cheap labour are best suited to export products that require significant amounts of labour).
This theory subsumes Ricardo's law of comparative costs but goes beyond it in linking the pattern of trade to the economic structure of trading nations. It implies that foreign trade is a substitute for international movements of labour and capital, which raises the intriguing question of whether foreign trade may work to equalize the prices of all factors of production in all trading countries. Whatever the answer, the Heckscher-Ohlin theory provides a model for analyzing the effects of a change in trade on the industrial structures of economies and, in particular, on the distribution of income between factors of production. One early study of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory was carried out by Wassily Leontief, a Russian American economist. Leontief observed that the United States was relatively rich with capital. According to the theory, therefore, the United States should have been exporting capital-intensive goods while importing labour-intensive goods. His finding, that U.S. exports were relatively more labour-intensive and imports more capital intensive, became known as the Leontief Paradox because it disputed the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. Recent efforts in international economics have attempted to refine the Heckscher-Ohlin model and test it on a wider range of empirical evidence.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A few dozen fast food and retail employees picketed Wednesday morning at a McDonald's on Milwaukee's north side.
It's part of a string of job actions in several major cities, in which employees demand higher wages and better working conditions.
A group called "Raise Up Milwaukee" said it was planning the protests at several dozen fast food restaurants and retail stores – and workers were either planning to walk off their jobs, or not show up for their shifts.
The Milwaukee Workers Organizing Committee says there are over 60,000 low wage retail and fast food employees in the area, making an average of just under $9 an hour.
The Raise Up Milwaukee group is demanding pay of $15 an hour, plus the right to form unions without retaliation.

When I tried to visit Olmsted for lunch, I parked my car with a valet and followed the helpful signposts along 14th Street and up a flight of stairs to the patio. There I encountered a barrier to keep me out of a private function. After exploring every nook of that block and walking up and down the stairs twice, I decided to climb over the barrier, wedge myself between a table and a group of canape-clutching suits and work my way to the unmarked door.
"Is this the entrance to Olmsted?" I asked a waitress, who was coming by with a tray of drinks.
"It's one of them," she responded, motioning with her head to another door across the room that opens to the courtyard.
When Legacy Restaurant Partners took over the former Trois, they reconfigured this sleek three-story space, rechristening the street-level bar as Article 14 and effectively cutting its ties to Olmsted upstairs by cutting off the interior staircase that united them.
Now, by entering through the freshly relandscaped garden, they underscore this best feature of this glass pod — its windows — and pay tribute to the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who gave many intown neighborhoods their grace. But they haven't quite worked out all the details.
Legacy also made the considered decision to open Olmsted only for lunch and events; dinner has always proven a tough sell here. Lovely as it is, this is a hard space to relate to.
The cooking during these early months isn't helping matters much.
The coarse hummus (above) holds chunks of hard garbanzo and raw garlic clove — not exactly what you need on a business lunch. The capers and pepperoncini straight from the jar are abundant, but they can't distract you from the feeling you're eating a kind of strange, savory Rocky Road ice cream.
The lobster in the roll at right is devoid of any of that telltale spring that is so vital to the enjoyment of this sandwich. (Think of a snappy hot dog.) Instead, it has a sous vide softness that disconcerts.
An order of veal scaloppine topped with arugula salad should have been a welcome lunch indulgence. But the thick and chewy piece of meat sloughed off its unseasoned coating, and the abundant shower of salad atop it has a sweet tinge to the dressing. This dish needs to be about tart, lemony dressing and peppery greens cutting through the delicious, crust-crisping grease of the breading.
These deviled eggs with candied bacon? I might take issue with the sticky, cold bacon and the piping-bag technique because Olmsted is a reasonably expensive restaurant, with entrees in the mid-teens. This appetizer, as it is, might play better in a beer bar.
This restaurant occupies a beautiful but problematic space in the heart of Midtown. I fear it's like a Lamborghini that no one can drive.

Awful plating on those deviled eggs, too.

Don't believe the article – the food is great and the ambience is wonderful. It's my go to lunch spot in midtown when want someplace nice and professional service. Great for business lunches. Felt compelled to write to dispute something so biased.

Avery, you're not very convincing. I can see from the photo that the deviled eggs are sloppy, and I can't imagine John would lie about cold bacon, soft lobster or lumpy hummus.

Even when John is being less than enthusiastic about a place, he rarely comes across as harsh. I bet his kids would reveal that he's a bit of a pushover. If one peruses other "reviews" of Olmsted elsewhere on-line, John's is right in-line. "It's like a Lamborghini that no one can drive…" is great!!

Looks like a ton of fries with a dab of coleslaw. Lobster roll looks unappealing. They'd be better off with grilled chicken breast, garbanzo bean salad, and a side of fresh fruit.
I hope this guy tries Kiosko's on the Marietta Square. The Raspberry chicken is fantastic.

Will he eat at any regular places. You know, where the "folks" eat. The world is bigger than the light loafer mid town crowd……I think.

Having grown up in New England, the best type of lobster roll is the Connecticut style: hot buttered lobster on a buttered, toasted hot dog bun. Octopus bar comes pretty close to getting this right. I'm not a fan of cold, mayo slathered lobster rolls – they're good, but the other ones are so much better.

While the lunch you just described does sound unappealing, I just wanted to throw in two cents about brunch:
Maybe it was because we had the Scoutmob Handpicked deal, but we really enjoyed the restaurant. Once we figured out how to get in the front door (yes, we echo your sentiments), we found a delicious spread of breakfast items. Between the classic eggs benedict to the fried chicken (enough for two enormous meals), we went away more than pleased. Portions made the restaurant worth the steeper tags, and the gorgeous windows made us feel like we were dining outside. The sausage plate also satisfied our craving for the savory, and the drinks were on par with any other restaurant in Midtown. I would absolutely recommend this spot as a brunch place– and brunch may, in fact, be their forte.
Spending $15 here for a nice weekend brunch plate may certainly be worth it, especially when restaurants like J. Christopher's charge $10 for an omelette and don't provide much atmosphere.

I am compiling a list of places to avoid, and I want to make sure I don't end up at the same place as you and your overweight wife and ADD children.
I already have Wal*Mart and Marietta on my list, so you don't have to tell me about those.

Working at Colony Square I have eaten at Olmstead for lunch once, and Tap numerous times. Once was enough to decide we would never go back: the food quality does not match the higher prices.
July 24th, 2013

Looks like Steve, Don, and all the snobbies are out in force. They choose not to make any suggestions to JB's coment about 'regular places'. Rather, they insult and make snide comments. I will soon be working in the city and am looking for some decent lunch destinations without the pretentiousness.

Says Steve, who told that guy to "stay in Forsyth County" – where crime is neary nonexistent, the views are pastoral and the schools are great. What an insult! Steve, please let me know where you dine so I'll be sure to avoid it, not that anyone else could enter the building with your enormous noggin taking up the entire dining room. Grandview, how's Buckhead treating you? Still just a giant hole in the ground surrounded by snatch-and'grabbers? Yeah, I thought so.
Chunky hummus and cold bacon- no excuse. None.

Steve = typical ITP snob ignorantly being ignorant as is usually the case with those too good and too worldly to make the 45 minute 5 miles drive outside their pretentious holier than thou bubble. I personally don't like Applebees, but they've been around a lot longer than most Midtown eateries. Get over yourself. Your taste or preference does not mean it's right for everyone else. By the way, I think I see some sperm stuck between your teeth.

I think he's hitting the right spot here with these reviews. Some well known, some not-as-well known. I don't need a review of Applebee's, as I know what they have (and what I like) when I go there. The lesser-known places are what I like to hear about.
July 28th, 2013
5:23 pm
I work in that building, and I've never met anyone that's eaten there. I've eaten at article 14, and it was waaaay overpriced. And walking upstairs and all the way around the grass to get to the door is pretty asinine.
July 28th, 2013

You're high, alright. Why don't you take a stroll down 14th around 2am tonight? I'm sure no one will miss you.

BRILLION, WI (WTAQ) - It looks like Christopher Barber will keep his job.
The 32-year-old Two Rivers man was hailed by Governor Scott Walker during his State of the State address last week -- only to learn later that Barber was a sex offender in his former life.
The Ariens snowblower plant in Brillion said it was considering Barber's job status, after both the company and the governor's office failed to check his background before highlighting him.
Company spokeswoman Ann Stilp now says Ariens continues to support Barber as an employee.
ilwaukee area labor law expert Janet Heins tells the Journal Sentinel it would be hard to terminate Barber, as long as he didn't lie on his job application. Heins said people can only be fired for things substantially-related to work -- and she couldn't see how Barber's earlier convictions have anything to do with his job as a welder.
For the State of the State presentation, the governor's office asked employers to nominate workers hired during Walker's term, as an example of how the economy has grown since he's been in office.
Stilp tells the Journal Sentinel that Ariens took the full blame for the oversight of Barber -- and they've told that to the governor's staff.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A former Mingo County magistrate pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges that he illegally registered a convicted felon to vote in the 2012 primary election.
Dallas Toler entered his plea Monday in U.S. District Court in Charleston. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 10, 2014, court documents show.
Toler was accused of knowing in April 2012 that a person was on probation for a felony at the time the voter registration application was submitted. He was charged Oct. 9 with falsification or concealment of material facts. He resigned the same day.
Toler is the latest Mingo County official to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from a widespread probe of corruption in the southern West Virginia coalfields county.
Former county prosecutor Michael Sparks, who resigned in October, pleaded guilty in November to depriving George White of his constitutional rights. Sparks and former Circuit Court Judge Michael Thornsbury were charged in a scheme to protect the late Sheriff Eugene Crum from revelations that Crum bought drugs from White.
Thornsbury pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to deprive White of his rights and resigned from the bench.
White pleaded guilty to drug charges in April. He has filed a petition in circuit court seeking dismissal of his plea.
Also in October, former Mingo County Commissioner David Baisden pleaded guilty to extortion in an unrelated case and resigned. He was accused of trying to buy tires for his personal vehicle at a government discount, then terminating the county's contract with Appalachian Tire when it refused to cooperate.
Thornsbury and Baisden are scheduled to be sentenced in January. Sparks' sentencing is scheduled in February.
Toler had served as magistrate since January 2012. He replaced Crum, who resigned to focus on his successful campaign for sheriff. Crum was fatally shot in April as he ate lunch in his car parked in downtown Williamson.
Tennis Melvin Maynard of Delbarton is charged in state court with murder in Crum's slaying. Maynard also is charged with attempted first-degree murder and fleeing, and he faces federal firearms charges. His trial is scheduled for March 2014.

TACACSShort for Terminal Access Controller Access Control System, an authentication protocol that was commonly used in UNIX networks. TACACS allows a remote access server to communicate with an authentication server in order to determine if the user has access to the network.
TACACS is now somewhat dated and is not used as frequently as it once was. A later version of TACACS was called XTACACS (Extended). These two versions have generally been replaced by TACACS+ and RADIUS in newer or updated networks. TACACS+ is a completely new protocol and is therefore not compatible with TACACS or XTACACS.
TACACS is detailed in RFC 1492.

Hall says Kleinfeld's older clients are spending $4,000 to $7,000 for a gown. That compares with the average purchase of $3,500 for the under-30 set.
"They used to be subtle," Hall says. "Now, they're saying, 'Who cares? It's my day.' They want the dress."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
That's especially true for older first-time brides.
At 64, Yolanda Royal, who lives in Irvington, N.J., is preparing for her first wedding next July. After living together for 20 years, her partner popped the question in May. The couple plan to spend about $11,000 on the reception for about 100 people, but for Royal, it's all about the dress. After that's secured, the other details will fall in place, she says.
Royal, a nursing attendant, was at David's Bridal in Manhattan with her 41-year-old niece on a recent Friday, trying on white wedding gowns that had small trains. Royal, who says she wants something "sexy," tried everything from off-the-shoulder to strapless designs.
"For my wedding, for my day, I want the dress I want," says Royal, who did not want to give details about the gown she settled on because she wants to surprise her future husband. "I really don't think about age. I think age is something that people shouldn't think about. It's all about your life and the way you feel. I feel good about myself and my life."
That's not to say that some brides planning big weddings aren't getting any pushback from their friends or relatives. For instance, Joan Hunter, a 76-year-old widow for 33 years, is planning a big wedding with her fiancé, Guido Campanile, an 87-year-old widower, for October.
The couple are spending $10,000 on the reception, which will be at a wedding hall. They are planning to have 10 people in the wedding party, including her two grown sons, ages 56 and 54, who will be giving her away, and her 5-year-old great-grandson, who will serve as the ring bearer. The couple also hired a DJ and a florist who is creating a floral arch.
When Hunter told her sons of her plans, they thought she was "crazy." They wondered why she wasn't just eloping to Las Vegas. "I told my kids that this may well be my last big party," says Hunter, who lives in Rosemead, Calif. "I'm really young at heart. I just wanted to do something that everyone would remember."
Still, the older bride has limits. She plans to throw a bouquet and is considering wearing a garter belt, but she will not be wearing white. Instead, she's planning to don a taupe gown she purchased at David's Bridal.
"I felt white wasn't appropriate for me," says Hunter, who will be wearing a chiffon gown with a fitted bodice and layers of ruffles cascading from the waist.
Apparently, the groom has limits, too. He proposed by giving Hunter a 5 1/2-carat diamond ring. But he stopped short of getting down on one knee.
"He did not get on his knees. That's for sure," Hunter said with a laugh. "He may not have gotten back up again."

A gym membership is both like and unlike a relationship—it's like a relationship because you're looking for the perfect match, and unlike one because you get to call all the shots. So we put together a few points to help you find a workout space that works out for you.
First, select a few gyms to "shop." Go through a typical day and think about when you're most likely going to have time to workout, and then proceed to where it would be convenient to have a gym. Is it close to home or just outside your work?
Have an idea of how much you are able to spend on membership fees. Keep in mind that more expensive doesn't equal better satisfaction. The average is $30 and $50 a month. Some gyms charge more than $100 a month because they have more bells and whistles like pools or squash courts, but if you're not going to use such facilities, you might as well not spend that much money.
When shopping for the perfect match, here are some things to keep an eye out for.
1. How many machines do they have and are they all working?
Popular machines include treadmills, elliptical machines and stationary bikes. While it depends on how busy the gym is, a good benchmark is 3-5 of each. Also look to see if any are out of order, and ask how quickly the gym can fix broken machines.
2. When are the peak times, and how crowded does it get?
If the gym staff has a good grasp on when the gym gets busy, it shows they're attentive. You want the staff to be a source of information and people on whom you can rely to address important issues. Also, having a general idea of when the gym gets crowded will help you plan when in the day you want to workout.
3. Do they have a time limit on machines?
This is a great way to ensure you can kick someone off a machine without actually kicking them off. But it's not so great if you are someone who likes to do 30+ minutes of cardio. So if there are time limits, look around and see if people are heeding the time, or perceiving them as "guidelines."
4. Do the locker rooms meet your standards?
Another area people miss is the locker room. Here, you're seeing how quickly you can get in and out without waiting for other people.
- Does the locker layout give you enough space between you and the other patron?
- Do they offer hair dryers, and if so, how many?
- Are the showers clean? You might want to ask how often the gym cleans the space.
Of course, nothing speaks louder than experience. See if you can talk to some of the gym's current members, who can give you a more real feeling of what the gym is like.
Happy gym hunting and good luck with your weight loss goal.

Harmony Courses
This course will give a musical view of the solo careers of each member of the Beatles. As a group, their influence in the field of popular music is unparalleled. s separate artists, the unique musical qualities that helped to create the Beatles remains present in their solo work. The cross-pollination between all of them is obvious. This course will examine how each musician transitioned into and developed an individual musical path. It will help provide a deeper look at the Beatles' influence on these four musicians as well as uncover the stylistic similarities and differences between them. As the focus will be on harmonic and melodic content, students will be able to expand their musical vocabulary and understanding. Song form, arranging techniques, and lyric writing will also be addressed, giving a view of harmony and melody in a wider context. Examining each member's personal experiences and social environment will add depth and help students create a stronger connection between musical product and context.
A study of popular music. This study begins with the aural analysis of contemporary songs, including bass motion, chord function, and aspects of the rhythm section. It will lead to understanding the bass line, harmony, and rhythmic structure of these songs and creation of original pieces in major key and Aeolian mode (natural minor). Keyboard exercises, written homework assignments, and laptop computer drills will provide extensive practice in musical and notational elements. You will learn to read and write major and natural minor scales in all keys and learn triads and seventh chords diatonic to those scales. The course provides exposure to chromatic variations on major key harmony: the principles of secondary dominants and modal interchange will be studied in limited situations to add color and variety to diatonic harmony. These activities will decode the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic language of most of contemporary popular music and set the stage for a detailed study of more complex and chromatic music in Harmony 2, 3, and 4.
This course looks at proven methods that help individuals chisel out their own system in order to ignite their creative flame and sustain their creativity. It examines some of the commonalities, both good and bad, that occur for artists while they are engaged in their creative process. Through experimentation with various creative approaches and tools, as well as reflective practice, students will learn to apply these methods to musical composition and performance. As the course is process-oriented, the experiences and knowledge gained can be transferred into other classroom settings, as well as other aspects of students' lives.
The course allows students to study the screenplays and songwriting of a variety of film musicals from the beginning of the genre to the present. In addition to focusing on the writing of the musical film, the manner in which song assists in telling the story will be of particular interest. Working in groups, screenwriting students from Emerson will complete an outline and first act of an original screenplay, and composer/lyricist students from Berklee will write the songs that will help tell that story. The semester will culminate in a staged reading—with music—performed by acting/musical theater students from both Berklee and Emerson.

WAFF is asking why suspects accused of sex-related crimes against children often have lower bonds than some people facing drug charges. WAFF made the discovery when checking the bond amount for a man arrested on an enticing charge.
Jack Bryant faces two counts of enticing a child to enter a vehicle.
According to Huntsville Police, a passerby followed the suspect until police arrived, questioned Bryant, and took him into custody. Bryant's two charges are Class C felonies and he has a $5,000 bond.
Alabama state law requires anyone charged with a Class C to have a bond between $2,500 and $15,000. A Class-A felony, which includes things such as manufacturing or trafficking drugs, has a range of $5,000 to $1.5 million.
National Children's Advocacy Center's Chris Newlin acknowledged just because someone is charged doesn't always mean they did the crime. But he wants to make sure that a sex predator doesn't get out after committing a crime against a child.
"We care about protecting our kids and one way you help protect kids is if you have someone who has been engaged in potentially criminal activity a higher bond might prevent them from being able to hurt other children," said Newlin.
State Representative Mike Ball weighed in and doesn't think the law needs changing. Ball said criminal bonds aren't supposed to be treated as a penalty and that every Alabamian is entitled to a bond other than a capital murder suspect. Ball wants discretionary options because not every crime is the same.
"You've got to give flexibility to judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement to be able to have a range where they can make it match," said Ball. "Sometimes it'll be too low and sometimes it might be too high."
Madison County District Attorney Rob Broussard agreed with Ball and added that constitutional right to a bond also means it can't be excessive.
"Everybody has heard you are presumed innocent until proven guilty," said Broussard.
Jack Bryant has failed to make his $5,000 bond as of Tuesday night.

The Myprotein SmartShake™ Lite is the latest addition to our extensive range of sports supplement shakers. Standing at an impressive 1 litre capacity this shaker is ideal for those larger weight gain or meal replacement shakes, as well as doubling up as a water bottle keeping you hydrated during those intense training sessions.
The concave hexagon shaped grill, unique to SmartShake™, produces a smooth, lump-free shake, whilst the screw-on lid and 'flip-cap' ensure the SmartShake™ Lite is leak free.
Made from high quality, durable BPA-free plastic, the MP Max SmartShake™ Lite is suitable for both dishwashers and microwaves.
Pour desired amount of milk, water or juice using the ml scale etched on the side of the shaker. Add powder then shake. Approximately 5-6 shakes usually makes perfect, clump free drinks.
Please note: Our Blenders and Shakers are not designed to transport liquids, their intended use is to mix powders and liquids in to a smooth consistency immediately before consumption.
Myprotein SmartShake Lite
- (25 / Aug / 2014)
Ordered the shaker and it came really quickly, however it was cracked almost in half on arrival.
I phoned it in and they sent out a replacement straight away so very pleased with the customer service.
The bottle is top quality too.
Great product
- (21 / Jul / 2014)
Great shaker does exactly what it is meant to and better no lumps at all in shake and when washed does not leave any 'protein smell' even when left over night
- (17 / Jul / 2014)
Excellent product, purchased when on offer and mixes the essential whey 60 perfectly
Karsken XVII
- (30 / Jun / 2014)
Works well, doesn't keep bad smell from protien shake left overnight, and nice to have the grill in the lid, much beter than having the shaker ball thing.
Shakes well
- (13 / Jun / 2014)
Excellent shaker.
Mixes well, good cap design and large capacity.
Cleans well, can't think of anything else you'd want from a shaker.
- (05 / Jun / 2014)
This product is great. There is no leaking on the ends, the proteins mix well, and the upper cork also fits perfectly. The build quality is good. The shaker washes nicely and it does not soak in all the flavors after some time. You can see that this is not ordinary cheap plastic. Also it is 1 L capacity which comes in a handy for other purposes besides mixing and drinking whey. And there is a ML chart on the sides, so you can adjust your optimum water/whey ration. I would recommend this shaker to anyone. I have experience with various shakers, and I can tell you none of them can measure up to this one! It is really a smart one!Goes Well With:Impact whey isolate
Best Shaker Yet
- (27 / May / 2014)
This is HUGE compared to my other one, I can fit so much oats power, whey, dextrose and anything else to make it easier to add more calories without it being too thick. It's tightly secure and the mesh that breaks up the powders is attached to the lid to it makes it so much more convenient. It's now 2 separate pieces instead of three. I ordered 2 of these, love them!
- (21 / May / 2014)
i like it very much...its strong and easy to clean.
Great Shaker!
- (20 / May / 2014)
Excellent shaker! I've tried many but this one is by far the best. The mesh part clips into the lid and doesnt drop down into the shake when mixing and gives a great smooth shake. Great product!
- (20 / May / 2014)
I was using the normal smaller shakers before this which was a bit awkward as the supplements and milk only just squeezed in and as a result was always lumpy, switching to this one was the best decisions I made as there is now plenty of room in the shaker for my milk and supplements and no lumps :) also there is no lingering smell after being washed up unlike the other shakers I have used and no liquid spillage in my gym bag. All in all an awesome product and would recommend buying
- (15 / May / 2014)
Im quite fussy, wanting the smoothest shake possible. this shaker does just that!Goes Well With:strawberry cream impact whey and milk
- (29 / Apr / 2014)
Excellent shaker. mesh mixes the contents well and prevents any lumps getting through. First shaker i have used that hasnt developed that "protein smell".
- (18 / Apr / 2014)
Excellent shaker, for my needs - everything you want, pretty much. Powder i'm using (not myproteins, to be fair) does not go "*puff* and it's liquid", but no worse than any other shaker.
Great.. while it lasts
- (09 / Apr / 2014)
This shaker works brilliantly most of the time, with only the occasional minor leak if it wasn't properly dried post-washing.
I use it in the gym with creatine or just water and the capacity is usually sufficient to last a whole session, with great mixability.
Unfortunately, the cap doesn't seem to be able to withstand the forces of opening and splits after a few months. This has happened to me twice but both times myprotein were really helpful and sent a new one immediately, so it's only an issue for a few days whilst it's in the post.Goes Well With:Creatine
Perfect choice
- (05 / Mar / 2014)
This container is deffernetly the best choose when I comes to protein bottles, it is cheap compare to other ones out there and can hold a lot of fluid. Mixes the powder to a smooth liquid so that there are no lumps or bits. Deffernetly the best option and delivery is quick!Goes Well With:Goes well with all protein Drinks or just any drink in general.
shake it baby
- (03 / Jan / 2014)
This is the best shaker I have ever used (7 years training). It's a great size and the mesh thingy makes any shake really smooth. Top quality as usual from MP.Goes Well With:powder and liquid
- (20 / Dec / 2013)
Got this for free with an online code, and would definitely buy one again. Does a great job for the price.
great stuff
- (11 / Dec / 2013)
This is the first shaker that I have used that actually does what it claims! I have had many shakers in the past but none have taken the effort out if mixing my protein without having to shake it forever. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone that has a hectic lifestyle and wants something that just works.Goes Well With:Whey isolate
Best shaker
- (10 / Dec / 2013)
This shaker doesnt leak, everything mixes well. Cant complain, simply good!Goes Well With:Cookie & Cream protein whey
- (10 / Dec / 2013)
Great productGoes Well With:Anything
- (07 / Dec / 2013)
Nice large shaker, great when mixing 2 or 3 different supplements.
- (14 / Oct / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is practical and huge. There's loads of space for anything you want to put in, and it's easy to screw on while not being flimsy in any way. All good.
- (08 / Oct / 2013)
Best shaker ever owned! No leaks, easy to wash and perfect size for me! Gonna buy me another just to take some water with me.Goes Well With:Impact whey, creatine monohydrate, glutamine
Diet & Weightloss
- (04 / Oct / 2013)
I am thrilled with this product, the flavours are great and it's easy to drink. It is far better than other brands of Protein Shakes that I've tried. Since starting to use this 7 weeks ago, I have lost 11lbs! I have recommended it to many of my family and friends.
Does whats needed
- (27 / Aug / 2013)
This Myprotein SmartShake Lite holds 1000ml which is a litre, it's great if you make your own weight gainers or smoothies in a blender because you want the shaker to hold the whole batch of what you have made. It's a very good product and I would recommend it.
Large bottle
- (24 / Aug / 2013)
This Myprotein SmartShake Lite is fantastic. The only (easy) way to improve it would be the inclusion of a shaker ball like some of the others have. What this has instead is a colander-like grille in the cap. Arguably this may help mixing a little but I don't think the effect is nearly as good as with a mixer ball which can move around and get to the bottom. I'm going to try putting some (food grade) ball bearings in mine to see if that emulates the mixer ball functionality. The grille means I can do this without risking drinking the balls themselves!
A tip: if using for powder shakes, leave the powder in the bottle dry until you're ready to drink. Then half-fill the bottle with liquid, leaving a good bit of space at the top. This extra space will really make it mix much more effectively as you shake, as the contents have more space to move. Once it is mixed well, top up with liquid and give a quick shake to finish.
- (23 / Aug / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is great for shakes or as a water bottle to get you through the day.Goes Well With:Whey protein
- (07 / Aug / 2013)
Large enough and easy to double up on protein and adding enough water than it doesnt turn thick.
great mixer
- (23 / Jul / 2013)
I love my new Myprotein SmartShake Lite, it's nice and big!
- (23 / Jul / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is a great shaker. Love the size, it's easy to clean and is leak proof.
Great Product
- (22 / Jul / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is really good. It takes up to 1 litre of liquid which is great for when you want to put in more than one scoop. It has a great mixer in the lid too.
Excellent Bottle
- (15 / Jul / 2013)
I bought this Myprotein SmartShake Lite to replace my other shaker. I went for the litre bottle as I like my shakes to have quite a bit of liquid in them. This is a brilliant design having the filter placed in the top of the bottle, when you drink it, the clumps that don't properly dissolve don't end up in your mouth, giving you a smooth drink. I bought another two for my brother and dad. Overall, I would recommend this to a friend.
mint shaker
- (10 / Jul / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is a serious shaker. It holds a good size shake, blends well too. It does the job!Goes Well With:whey
- (09 / Jul / 2013)
It's a protein shaker. There is not a lot that can be said about it. It mixes up the impact whey and the diet impact whey well enough that there are no lumps. Overall its a good shaker. Not sure how useful the clip on it is (I don't use it) but if you needed to clip it on to something then this is the shaker for you.
Goes Well With:Impact Whey
Diet Impact Whey
- (18 / Jun / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is great to have as a shaker, and as a general drinks holder. It holds about 1 litre so there is plenty of space to mix in. Most of my shakes turn out well, but the reason it's not 5 star is because sometimes it needs a decent wash to get rid of some of the protein stuck on the shaking cone.
- (10 / Jun / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is excellent to take to the gym or on power walks.
- (29 / May / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is excellent. I recommend it!
Just what I was looking for :D
- (21 / May / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is an excellent product. I cannot fault it. It's really strong and well-built. It really does mix the whey protein up really well, that's why I am giving it the full 5 stars.
- (13 / May / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is a good size and as I'm able to attach it to my bike bottle holder. Also I like the fact it has measurement markings on the side rather than having to judge the measurements.
- (10 / May / 2013)
This Myprotein SmartShake Lite doesn't leak, but then no Myprotein shakers leak anyway. The shaker from here with the little wire ball mixes better but this one has a larger capacity. So it's a trade off, I just got both for different uses.
- (07 / May / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is a good price for the size. It mixes well and has a handy attachment on the side that I use for my locker key while at the gym.
Perfect mixer!
- (24 / Apr / 2013)
I have had quite a few mixers of 'named brands' most of which have failed me after a few uses by leaking or staining.
I have been using this smartshake for a good while now and it's yet to let me down.
Nice and big so plenty of volume and perfect for mixing.Goes Well With:Instant Oats
- (19 / Apr / 2013)
I purchased a new Myprotein SmartShake Lite from these guys and it's great. Especially for the price I paid for it. Even more handy the fact the mixing grill at the top doesn't tumble out and get protein juice everywhere when you want to wash it. And it has good capacity. Great product. Go buy now! Goes Well With:Water, supplements.
Great mixer
- (16 / Apr / 2013)
I've used 3 different types of mixer bottles but this Myprotein SmartShake Lite has been the best that I've used! It's also easy to clean!
- (15 / Apr / 2013)
A larger shaker than the standard, I bought Myprotein SmartShake Lite because I like my shakes with more fluid. Unfortunately the build quality doesn't seem as good, the plastic top is made from a softer plastic and actually tore (not snap) after 3 uses.
Myprotein SmartShake Lite
- (10 / Apr / 2013)
This Myprotein SmartShake Lite is great, it mixes well and cleans easily. I think I would have gone for something smaller in hindsight as I never get close to filling it to the top, but it's great nonetheless.
- (09 / Apr / 2013)
Great mixer, no chunks. Buy One!Goes Well With:Things that need mixing
Great shaker bottle
- (05 / Apr / 2013)
This is the first shaker bottle that fulfills all my requirements:
- Big enough to double as a water bottle during my workouts
- Robust enough to survive my abuse
- Gives me the confidence that none of the content is going to leak out if I carry it in my gym bag.
Definately a Smart Choice
- (26 / Mar / 2013)
The Myprotein SmartShake Lite is by far the best shaker I have used. The filter system in the lid is perfect, ensuring it does not slip and it is easy to remove. The seal is spot on and does not leak a drop and it mixes very quickly.

Sharks thump Pumas
The Sharks completed their preparations for Super Rugby with a comprehensive 50-19 thrashing of the Pumas at the Kanyamazane Stadium on Friday.
The Sharks said on their website that the Pumas had provided strong resistance for much of the game, although the Sharks had succeeded with eight tries.
The Sharks got off to a good start, with two early tries, one of which was converted, but the competitive Pumas put paid to any thought of the Sharks running away with the match with a converted try of their own.
The two teams traded further tries with The Sharks holding out against a committed Pumas team who certainly gave the visitors a tougher contest than they had the week before, when they beat the Leopards 71-8.
At 19-14, the game was still tight before The Sharks added two further tries to take a strong 31-14 lead. Changes were made en-mass to rotate personnel and give everyone some game time.
The game started to open up as The Sharks pedigree came through, and like last week, there were plenty of second half tries as The Sharks managed to pass the half-century mark. The Pumas scored a consolation try in the dying moments of the game, but aside from an early flurry and the last gasp score, it was The Sharks all the way.
"It was a step-up from last week which is exactly what I wanted," said coach John Plumtree after the game. He confirmed that tehre were no injuries.

Dried-fruit compote
Sunday 13 March 2011
This recipe is Persian in origin and was given to me by my friend Greg Malouf.Found in his beautiful book Saraban (Hardie Grant Books, £30), it is the perfect way to eat fruit when not in season. All the dried fruit used in this recipe should be fairly easy to find in Middle Eastern stores or any good health-food shop or delicatessen.
For the syrup
250g/8oz caster sugar
250ml/8fl oz water
2 cinnamon sticks
5 cloves
6 cardamom pods
The peel of one orange
The peel of one lime
1 thumb of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
12 dried figs
cup golden raisins
6 Medjool dates
6 dried pears
6 prunes
75g/3oz shelled walnuts
Combine the sugar and water over a medium heat in a heavy-based pan, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves, then add the spices and citrus peel, increase the heat and bring to a boil. Add the ginger and dried fruit and walnuts. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Once cool, place in the fridge. It will keep well refridgerated for a week or so.

Two people from Montgomery and Prattville are now under arrest and charged with conspiracy to fraudulently use credit and debit card numbers connected to customers of the Prattville Olive Garden restaurant.
U.S. Attorney George Beck, Jr's office announced the arrests Tuesday of Andre Willis, 35, of Montgomery, and Kenmore Strother, 26, of Prattville.
Becks' office says Willis' and Strother's arrests came after a federal grand jury indicted them on various charges, including conspiracy, access device fraud, and aggravated identity theft.
The indictment says Stother was employed at Olive Garden in Prattville and that Willis gave Strother a credit card skimming device which is designed to read and store credit and debit account numbers from cards that are swiped through the machine.
Stother is alleged to have used the skimming device to swipe credit and debit card numbers of Olive Garden customers and then gave the device to back Willis who used some of the account numbers to purchase items at area businesses.
Beck's office says if convicted, Strother and Willis face a maximum potential sentence of 5 years in prison for the conspiracy charge, 10 years for an access device fraud charge, and a mandatory two-year sentence for the aggravated identity theft charge. Also, Strother faces a potential sentence of 15 years on a second access device fraud charge.
Willis and Strother will also be subject to fines and mandatory restitution if convicted.
This case was investigated by special agents of the United States Secret Service as well as the Prattville Police Department.

Retirees from Century Aluminum's Ravenswood plant are
grateful, despite the position they've been put in by the company.
The retirees plan to gather at the Capitol Feb. 26 to
hand-deliver letters of thanks to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and other lawmakers who
passed a bill at the end of the 2012 legislative session to allow Century to
seek a special electricity rate.
The Ravenswood smelter has been closed since 2009. More than
600 workers were left unemployed and retirees lost their benefits.
"We have tried to be patient while Century puts together a
strategy in which they can restart the plant, but we are running out of
patience," retiree spokeswoman Karen Gorrell said in an email. "Century always
appears to want the retirees to be on 'their team,' but they obviously have no
regard for the devastation that most retirees have and are still facing."
Gorrell said Century engaged in an "extremely unethical action,"
when the company terminated the retirees' benefits that had been contractually
promised and paid for.
"In our quest to force Century to honor their promised
obligations, we reached out to our elected officials and asked for your
support!" the retirees state in their letter to lawmakers. "It still gives us
chills on how overwhelmingly you responded."
Gorrell said a settlement agreement between the retirees and
the company was never presented to the court to allow it to become a binding
But most officials familiar with the situation understood that
once Century reopened the plant, retiree benefits would be restored.
Gorrell said retiree benefits hinged on several steps within
their agreement, such as passage of the legislation, a special rate approval
from the Public Service Commission of West Virginia and a signed labor
From May through October, Century and Appalachian Power
engaged in a rate case with the PSC, and several rate structures were proposed
during that time. Many of those proposals suggested allowing some of Century's
electricity payments to be charged to other Appalachian Power customers.
"Our benefits were held hostage to the actions of others,
and in our opinion, that was a strategic move," the retirees' letter to
lawmakers reads. "The retirees could not support Century's request to have the
rate payers on fixed incomes at risk to higher electric bills, even though we realized our health
care was at stake."
The letter goes on to state that while Century looks at a
new strategy to obtain a power arrangement, the retirees support Century in its
efforts to restart the smelter.
Century has not accepted the PSC's final order, but a Century
Spokesman Mike Dildine said Feb. 25 the startup costs for Ravenswood are about
$45 million, but restarting the smelter is an important priority for Century,
and the company appreciates the support it's received from Tomblin and other
state leaders.
"Century is continuing to actively evaluate alternative
power supply arrangements that would enable a restart," Dildine said in an

Pardoned Turkey Peace Dies Just Before Thanksgiving
Peace's death is untimely but not unusual. The two turkeys Obama pardoned in 2010, Apple and Cider, were both dead by the next Thanksgiving. They developed respiratory infections soon after arriving at Mount Vernon, according to Aloisi, and then a foot disorder that made it hard for them to walk and escalated into joint problems.
Turkeys bred for eating just aren't built to live long, so the presidential pardon is simply an extension on the death sentence carried by birds too fat and big-breasted to reproduce naturally.
While turkeys in the wild grow to about 18 pounds, the demand for 40 million big, juicy birds this time of year has produced a farm-raised turkey of different proportions. When Obama pardoned Liberty and Peace last Thanksgiving, the 19-week-old birds weighed 45 pounds each. They lost some weight after arriving at Mount Vernon, which may have helped keep them mobile, Aloisi said.

White Sox star John Danks got sued by a high school pal who was paralyzed after falling 10-feet onto the rooftop deck of the pitcher's Goose Island condo in 2010.
Blake Papst claims in the lawsuit filed in Cook County on Aug. 14 that his brother shoved him from a concrete structure above the deck. The Papst brothers attended Round Rock High School in Texas with Danks.
Papst, who was unable to move after the fall, alleges that Danks checked his condition but then left him on the deck for hours before carrying him inside. Danks refused to call 911, and also refused to let Papst call, the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit also names Papst's brother, Waylon Papst, and the condo's management and association as defendants. The lawsuit claims the concrete structure did not have proper safety railings.
Danks' attorney Francis " Pat" Cusiner, a Glenview village trustee, did not return calls seeking comment. Papst mother, Debbie Papst, also declined comment.

No answer yet
I love being a vegetarian and hope to meet others that feel the same. I recently have tried going mostly vegan/whole foods and have had great health results. I am passionate about animals and love that I am helping the environment by being a veg.
thank you Lisa!
Thx Lisa, looking forward to seeing you all soon and getting caught up.
So even though I was signed up for 1/9 with the Veg group, I couldn't attend. She said she had me down for the Feb meeting at Whole Foods. Now I look here, it says it is full and I don't see my name listed. Help. [masked]
This is really driving me crazy.
I didn't realize I had to sign up at whole foods for 1/9 in addition to RSVP'ing to the Group, until I saw it on the postings here.
I phoned on Monday to check about what I thought was a Monday meeting that I signed up,for. Whole Foods lady never called me back in Monday as promised, so I missed Monday (or so I thought). Tues morning she phoned and said there was nothing scheduled for Monday only the 4-6pm 5/5. She also informed me that the 1/9 class was full
My friend and i loved the movie tonight, thanks for showing! We
would definitely be interested in being more involved with vegan outreach in the future. Look forward to upcoming meet ups!
Lisa, I would love to attend the class tomorrow morning. I notice all the spots are taken, but if something opens up between now and then can you please let me know, thank you.
Hello Lisa,
Thank you for your email and I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. I will see if I can make it on Saturday. Have a great weekend!!
Hi Lisa, it was a pleasure meeting you last week at the book club. I will check with my husband to see if he'd like to attend the Drink night at Borders. Sounds like fun!
Hi Lisa, I RSVPd that I was going to the showing of Knives over Forks and something has come up and I won't be able to go. I don't know how to cancel my spot. Can you take me off the list? Thank you.
I still cannot find lower gold camp road and 8th street on my map. Help.

I'm using it together with chlorella and see astonishing results on myself, my family and my dogs!!! This one product has also a better taste then the other one that I have tasted!
A bit of care goes a long way.

After eating chlorella for over a year, and learning more and more about spirulina, I decided to combine the two. I started with the same amount I used for the chlorella, planning to alternate days. Mistake! Apparently spirulina is much more powerful than chlorella, and if one has not gotten used to it, one may have stomach distress and nausea. I cut back immediately, and read online about this, wishing that I had done so sooner. Things have calmed down now, and I hope for a long and healthful future with iHerb and Nutrex.
Best Spirulina

Thank you for having this big bag. It is the best quality Spirulina that I and my whole family consume daily. I appreciate the light bag (instead of the heavy glass containers. This reduces the cost for shipment to my oversea home.

"Birthday invitation for my daughter's 6th birthday, held in our neighborhood park. I tinted the photo a bit to match the subtle colors in the card. It looked so sweet & timeless! Many people commented on the beautiful invitation."
"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"I needed these invitations asap and they came so fast I couldn't believe it. I love the design and the quality. Everyone loved it. It made her first birthday invitation special. I can't wait to put this in her scrapbook."
"I have ordered this card twice for both of my girls first birthdays. Excellent way to showcase their growth over a year."
"I used this design for my daughter's first birthday party and everyone loved it!! I really like how the design allows you to add multiple photos and change the text. I had my invitations sent directly to the guests and they were all mailed quickly. My only minor complaint is that I used professional high quality photos but still found the print quality to be a little grainy (which is not surprising since it is printed on top of pink paper, not white). I would have also liked to have seen additionals options for glossy printing and heavier card stocks. FYI - This product includes 5 additional copies that will be sent to your home address. This was not obvious in the product description so I added myself & my husband as recipients to make sure we had extras. In the end, we had plenty!"

Despite my silent struggles, the tide of responsibility drags me forward, pulling me ever closer to the fate I dread, and every second further from the one I love; the one who can never be mine.
My legs keep walking, but my heart is screaming at them to stop, to turn around and run, and keep running until I find him. My efforts are futile. Each step brings me closer to the altar, where I will become bound by a contract to live a life of regret.
I feel the burning stares of the guests on my back, pushing me forwards.
Another step closer.
I think of him, and how I would watch him from my window. How I would gaze wistfully, longingly as he worked, and dream of a future that could never be. Sometimes, he would look up from his work, catch my gaze, and smile at me. Our eyes would lock for what seemed like forever, but I would always break it after a second, scared of the consequences of what I was feeling.
I spoke to him once, when I was taking a walk through the grounds. He was there, grooming one of my father's finest horses, whistling. I approached him, heart fluttering. The conversation was brief – my mother saw us, then oddly, hurried me back inside. I didn't understand why, back then. Despite the pitiful length of our first meeting, I suddenly felt like I knew everything about the gentle stable-hand and him about myself.
I stare down the aisle, which now seems to have been halved in length. I have ten – maybe less – steps until I'm there. Then I'll say the words and there's no turning back. Inside I'm thrashing against the current, but I can't break away. It would destroy my family.
I glance at my mother, swathed in finery, seated at the front of the church with my father. She's watching me expectantly, eyes full of pride and dignity, yet sensing that something is not quite right. If only she knew.
They had this suitor selected for me before I could toddle. A fine man he is too, but he's not the one I want. Does that matter though? I was brought up to do as I was told. So I'm destined to marry this gentleman, when my heart beats for another.
If my family knew that I was in love with a stable-hand, a poor, peasant man with little to offer but love, I would be in the gutter with the rest of them in a heartbeat. They would be horrified, ashamed, and heart-broken. I can't disappoint my parents, who I owe so much to.
Which is why I'm now stood shakily at the altar, hand entwined with that of a man I can't - could never - love. Not as much as I love the other man. The peasant. The servant.
I try to imagine my suitor's face as the other, but it only makes the pain inside me sharpen, like a wound being reopened. My soon-to-be husband smiles at me. Part of me wishes I loved him instead, so I wouldn't be in this horrible mess.
I tune out, and the vicar's heartfelt words fly by me in a faint blur. I force myself to look at the man my parents chose for me. My parents surely know what's best for me, so why can't I feel the same way? He's rich, handsome and kind, but he's not /him/.
I want you, I think hard. I falter, because I don't, not really. I can't kid myself, force myself to love this man, no matter how nice, wealthy and good-looking he may be. I look into his eyes. Do I feel what I feel when I look at the other, the poor man? No.
It's true love or my family's wishes.
Suddenly the room falls silent, and all eyes are on me. It's time. Two little words: I do. So easy to say, yet with such sacrifice.
I can't say them, but I can. I mustn't say them, yet I must. I won't say them, but I have to. It's time to choose. Go with the flow, or be the master of my own fate.
My throat is dry, and I can only manage an odd, strangled sound. I look into my fiancé's eyes, and all I can see is the other man. I feel faint with the burden of the choice I must make.
Whispering erupts behind me, brows furrow in concern, fingers point at the bride who has lost her voice. Who can't bring herself to marry the man she should be in love with.
I snap into focus. My husband to be gazes at me, eyes cloudy with anxiety and confusion. He loves me; I can tell. Sadly the feelings cannot be reciprocated on my part, and never will be. Suddenly I find my feet. The burning desire inside me has made my decision for me.
"I'm sorry," I choke, tears spilling forth onto my cheeks. I drop his hand, where it hangs limply by his side. The realization washes over him, and I feel him break right there and then. He stands there, stunned, broken, as I stumble down the aisle, blinded by salty tears. I'm horrified at what I've just done to this man, but I know it is right. It wouldn't be fair to have him love a woman who couldn't ever return it. He needs to find someone who can love him back – who can offer what I can never.
I run, leaving the shocked gasps and hushed gossip behind me. My mother screams for me, but I'm deaf to her words.
No looking back now, Pearl. You've made your choice. You chose the servant man you barely know but you're certain you love. I tell myself this, over and over as I run through town, startling passer-bys as I streak past, a flurry of white lace, pearls, and wracking sobs. Maybe he won't even love me back, but it's too late to think about that now. If he does, we'll have to leave. Run away, live our lives as outcasts, away from disapproving eyes.
I reach the manor, and I push the wrought iron gates open, not caring about the dirt on my soft, slender hands. I must look a sight for sore eyes; muddy, ripped wedding dress, face tear-stained and red.
I know where he'll be.
I run through the grounds, until I come to the courtyard that lies beneath my bedroom window. He's there, a horse at the ready.
Like he knew I wouldn't go through with the wedding. Like he knew I'd come for him.

This American actress sure knows how to strike a pose! With her exotic looks and Brazilian background, Camilla has risen to become quite noticed on the Red Carpet. At 23 she has got a fresh and classic look. Just like the 1950's actress before her. It is fun to watch her style develop. She can go from ultra modern and contemporary. To very glam. Plus, her make-up and hair is always fresh and young looking. So taking inspiration from Camilla. We have a few looks that you can emulate.
Camilla looks the way everyone should look glamorous at the Met's Costume institute gala. Her one-shoulder aqua Armani Privé dress is all the more interesting because of the tiered detail.
Actress Camilla Belle attends a reception to benefit UNICEF hosted by Gucci during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Camilla has a great casual style, which is so easy to get! My choices for achieving the Camilla Belle look are to get the look for less.
Go for that casual look and to find a variety of stylish leggings at Forever 21.
Go for that contempoary style just like Camilla for less than $40.00.
And for gorgeous but affordable gowns visit House of Dereon to find that perfect fit.

Nike LeBron 11 NSW Lifestyle "University Red"
February 4th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
At long last the LeBron 11 NSW Lifestyle has a proper Heat colorway. Granted, the LeBron 11 in question is missing a little bit of white in order to really make the equation complete, but the black and red included cements the theme regardless. The silhouette this time goes for a suede treatment along the top, which is an approach that we can't remember ever being used before on this pair. Continue reading for another angle on the upcoming release and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out when and where you can grab these in the US.
