Cutting It Fine
Meet the Driver
Dave Blaney
Hometown: Hartford, Ohio
Blaney, whose first full season on the Winston Cup circuit came in 2000, is quickly establishing himself as one of the series' rising stars. Driving the Jasper Engines and Transmissions Ford, he has become a consistent top-10 finisher.
Blaney won rookie of the year honors in the All-Star Sprint circuit in 1983 and later moved up to USAC and World of Outlaws competition.
A fan of the Washington Redskins, Blaney owns a short track in Pennsylvania and a World of Outlaws team of which his brother, Dale, is the driver.
The job of a NASCAR transporter driver is hardly an easy one, but sometimes the weather can make the job even rougher. The Rockingham 200 earlier this year was delayed from Saturday until Monday due to rain, and that created a logistical nightmare for the men who expected to be back at their home camp that day. After all, the next race was scheduled for Saturday.
Gary Clem is the transporter driver for Elliot Sadler's No. 38 team, and he found himself with a short turnaround time since the next race was in Las Vegas – 2,300 miles away.
"Normally, we'd like to have left the shop in Mooresville, N.C., at around noon Monday," Clem said. "But, I didn't get back from Rockingham until late afternoon Monday. The guys loaded and unloaded the truck while I slept and I was able to get on the road at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning."
Under normal circumstances, such a trip would take 36 hours. The team's check-in at Las Vegas Motor Speedway was Thursday morning, which means Clem had 54 hours to make the journey.
Clem would've preferred to have a little more wiggle room.
"We can certainly make it, but I like to have a little more time built in," he said. "If you have a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and run into some bad weather, things can get a little tight."
Clem made the journey just fine, but he spent the long trip worried about things out of his control.
"The most direct way is straight out Interstate 40," he said. "But if there's bad weather, you have to drop down to Interstate 20. When that happens, you lose four or five hours. You spend a lot of time watching the Weather Channel."
Is This 'Flash'Gordon's Year?
When a sport has a preseason poll, you know it has officially arrived. And in the first-ever preseason poll for NASCAR Winston Cup racing, Jeff Gordon was the favorite to claim his fifth series title when this 2003 season comes to a close.
The prediction is hardly a stretch.
With 61 wins to his credit, Gordon is seventh on the all-time victory list and stands alone among active drivers. He could walk away from the sport today, and his status as a legend would be secure.

Participants in this year's Cooper River Bridge Run will have the opportunity to choose four locations for bus shuttles.
Bus shuttles will be provided in downtown Charleston, North Charleston, Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant.
Organizers say they will have nearly 200 buses at their disposal for the event. The buses will start running at 5:30 in the morning from all locations.
"It's going to be much bigger, much better and much easier," says Assistant Race Director Joanna Jackson. "We're just trying to make it easier for people and to get things flowing a little bit better."
The start of last year's run was delayed for nearly an hour. Organizers at the time said the delay was caused by the untimely transport of runners to the start line.
Below is a list of times and locations for this year's bus shuttles:
Organizers say return buses will leave from downtown Charleston from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to return participants to their parking areas. Buses will be marked according to the four different parking areas.

Big Picture or Big Gaps? Why Natural Theology is better than Intelligent Design
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.

ACE Study Reveals Best Biceps Exercises
ACE Fit Share
February 17, 2012, 10:40AM
You may know the lyrics to one of Rihanna's top singles, but do you also know how she gets and maintains her fit physique?
Her trainer, Harley Pasternak, host of ABC's "The Revolution" and trainer of Hilary Duff, recently told People that when Rihanna's traveling, she tries to fit in three 25-minute workouts a week.
Her cardiovascular exercise regimen includes biking or cycling and jumping rope (read ACE's take on the benefits of jumping rope and how to do it properly) without a rope. She also uses stationary jogging and jumping jacks to increase her heart rate — and out of convience.
Pasternak said, "she can do those in a hotel room or backstage before a show." Talk about squeezing in a workout no matter what!
The singer's workouts increase to 30 minutes (up from 10) of cardio five days per week once she is more settled in at her location.
It seems that Rihanna is making sure to fit in a healthy amount of exercise into her busy schedule. If she can do it, you can definitely find time to exercse, too!
If you are really pressed for time, you can fit in shorter 10-minute workouts throughout the day. Research has found that small bouts of exercise throughout the day can provide the same benefits as one longer workout.
To make physical activity a part of your daily routine, ACE recommends scheduling exercise like an appointment into your calendar, recruiting a workout partner or fitness professional or trying 10-minute mini-workouts throughout your day.
Would you add jumping rope and jogging in place to your daily routine?

MV Agusta must be feeling antsy about the upcoming EICMA show in Milan, as the Italian company first teased its MV Agusta Brutale 675 in a video last week, and today it has released the final specifications of its upcoming 2012 MV Agusta F3 motorcycle. While we're sure the 126hp 675cc three-cylinder motor, with its 52lbs•ft of torque, will please the discerning supersport purchaser, MV Agusta is betting that its MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) electronics package is what is really going to get you excited about the Italian machine (did we mention it looks gorgeous too?). Clearly reading our thoughts that electronics are the new horsepower, the MV Agusta F3 675 is now the only supersport to boast ride-by-wire & traction control, and also comes along with optional wheelie and launch control vehicle dynamics.
Ducati has a new flagship Superbike coming out soon, if you hadn't heard the news. Powering the Ducati 1199 Panigale is a new 90° v-twin motor dubbed the Superquadro (Ducati mini-site here), which the Italian company officially unveiled today. Confirming the specs we released back in November of last year, the power plant boasts 195hp and 98 lbs•ft of torque, making the Ducati Superquadro motor a new direction for Bologna, in more ways than one. For starters, the Superquadro is the first production motor in the company's history that's is fully-integrated into a bike's chassis, thus putting final confirmation that the 1199 Panigale will use the MotoGP inspired "frameless" chassis design (not that we were really doubting this).
Deriving its name from the massively over-sqaure cylinder design, the Superquadro is the most powerful motor to come in a production motorcycle from the Bologna brand. Other highlights include the use of hybrid chain/gear-driven camshaft, titanium valves, a wet slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle actuation, 15,000 mile major service intervals, and a rider-selectable "riding mode" system. Boasting that the company built the Superquadro motor with a clean sheet of paper, the company has proven once again that there are no sacred cows in Bologna.
After several months of testing and refining the BRD RedShift electric motorcycle, pricing and technical specifications from BRD Motorcycles has just graced our inbox. Wanting to make sure the BRD RedShift SM & RedShift MX lived up to the company's hype, BRD has been reluctant to quote exact figures and prices until the San Francisco startup was confident it could back up those announcements with actual product performance. True to our prediction at the time of the BRD RedShift SM's launch, the MX version will come with a $14,995 price tag, while the SM supermotard will tack on an extra $500 for a $15,495 MSRP.
Making 40 peak-horsepower, the BRD RedShift touts 250cc bike specs, especially with its 260/265 lbs (SM/MX) curb weight for street use (headlight and switchgear). In racing trim, both the SM & MX shed an additional 10 lbs. Because of the interest being generated in the police-style model (RedShift PD), BRD will make the model available with its more robust tail section, hard luggage, and more powerful electrical system for powering electrical components. These added components add an additional 35 lbs to the RedShift's base weight, though the PD model is expected to be the company's best selling model, as public and private fleet vehicles are increasingly pressured to include electrics into their vehicle pools.
Our favorite German-owned, Italian-based, Swedish brand has released some more images of its Husqvarna Nuda 900 and Husqvarna Nuda 900R street motards, and also disclosed some of the bikes' technical specifications in the process as well. Using a fully-revamped BMW motor, Husqvarna has taken F800's parallel-twin motor, and bored it out by 2mm (84mm total), as well as lengthened the stroke by 5.4mm (81mm), taking the 798cc motor to an 898cc displacement. Originally built as a 0º crank motor, Husqvarna has altered the crankshaft to a 315º configuration, which the company says creates a more aggressive feel to the bikes' power delivery.
The compression ratio on the motor has also been raised from its BMW-spec, and comes with modified head gasket, camshafts, pistons, and conrods (along with a re-designed crankshaft). Additionally the intake and exhaust valves have been increased by 1mm, making them 33mm and 28.5mm respectively. With these modifications, both the base model Nuda 900 and higher-spec Nuda 900R will make 105 hp and 73.8 lbs•ft of torque. Still listing the curb weight for the Nuda 900R as sub-175kg (385 lbs), expect the Nuda 900 to weigh-in a few kilos heavier.
As we reported back in March, KTM's electric dirt bike is coming closer and closer to being ready for consumers, and now information has come out that it will be a 2012 model from the Austrian company. This information is in-line with a November EICMA debut that we've been hearing, but perhaps the most tantalizing news we've heard is the bike's sub-€10,000 price tag in the EU. This would put the KTM Freeride (oh man, we hope that name gets changed) directly in competition with Swiss electric dirt bike manufacturer Quantya and American electric motorcycle manufacturer Zero Motorcycles, both of whom are in the sub-€10,000 category with their dirt bike offerings.
If you've ever gotten a mouthful of hairspray before (we were awkward children growing up), then you surely know the need to get a bad taste out of your mouth. Helping us get over our magnificient indifference regarding Husqvarna's latest video is this short clip from our friends over in Spain, Radical Ducati. In case you haven't heard of these guys, they take junked-out Ducatis (typically air-cooled), do a bit of a parts bin mash-up, and create eye-catching pieces of two-wheeled goodness for all of us to enjoy.
Their designs are cleverly creative and very pleasing on the retinal units, but yet also have a certain gritty quality that makes for a good juxtaposition to the prim and proper Ducati brand. As for the video, its does a pretty good job of showing the Radical Ducati RAD02 Pursang sitting there and looking pretty, though the go-fast addict in us really wants to see the Radical Ducati RAD 02 Corsa EVO make some laps around (insert famous Spanish circuit here). Ehh boys? Video and photos after the jump.
The wait is finally over on what Suzuki has been brewing for its middleweight adventure bike offering. Through some HTML trickery, we were able to glean this unreleased information off the Suzuki website, and as such are bringing you the first photos, technical specifications, and design features on the 2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS. An evolution of the current V-Strom 650, the new middleweight V-Strom is longer, taller, and lighter than its predecessor, while boasting an updated look to the aging V-Strom exterior.
If you were expecting more, and feel let down…welcome to the club. Though this represents a large portion of the information Suzuki plans on unveiling in the coming days, we still have some unanswered questions: like what's been changed in the motor (we have yet to see any power figures quoted), though the general specifications on the 645cc v-twin lump appear to be the same. More as we get it. Find the massively underwhelming leaked photos, details, and specifications after the jump. Thanks for the tip Yellow Ranger!
Erik Buell Racing has a new website, and with it comes more information about the 2012 Erik Buell Racing 1190RS street bike. With only 100 bikes being made, the 175hp v-twin rocket ship weighs only 389 lbs wet (without fuel though), which for the spec-sheet racers should be plenty to drool over. That sort of exclusivity and performance will cost you dearly though, as the the EBR 1190RS is going to hit your wallet for $39,999 (roughly the price of a well-packaged mini-van), and if you want the extra-drool worthy carbon edition, that'll be another $4,000 added to the price tag.
When the 100 Erik Buell Racing 1190RS street bikes are sold though, EBR will be able to go racing in the AMA Pro Racing circuit (EBR missed its goal to race at Infineon and now seems likely for Barber, or Mid-Ohio) with the 1190cc race bike. Erik Buell Racing is currently campaigning in the American Superbike series with Geoff May on an 1125RR, which is down on power compared to the other bikes according to the race team.
The $40,000 price tag is going to be quite the hurdle for Buell and his crew, though finding 100 enthusiasts shouldn't be an impossible task. If $40,000 isn't your cup of tea for a motorcycle, it would seem Buell and his crew have you covered there, as the company is teasing three new models: the RX, SX, and AX. Let the speculation begin on what those models could be, full tech-specs on the 2012 Erik Buell Racing 1190RS and photos are after the jump.
The wait is finally over, as Honda has completely taken the wraps off its 2012 Honda NSF250R Moto3 race bike. Launched at the Catalan GP today, the 250cc four-stroke machine will be one of several options aspiring MotoGP riders will pilot around in the Moto3 Championship. The new NSF250R incorporates a front-intake/rear-exhaust configuratiom, while the cylinder has been tilted back 15° to help concentrate the bike's mass.
Titanium valves help power throughout the rev range, and the cylinder design reduces friction between piston and cylinder by offsetting the cylinder centerline and applying nickel silicon carbide (Ni-SiC) for the cylinder surface treatment. Matted to the motor is a six-speed gearbox, while the frame is based off the RS125R design, with modifications to suit the power delivered by the four-stroker. Total cost: €23,600, VAT included (Spain). Full technical specs are after the jump.
Finally we have all the factory MotoGP bikes officially unveiled in their race liveries (click for the Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha unveilings). Surprising everyone this year with a teal color scheme, Rizla Suzuki is still present in MotoGP, albeit only running one rider for the 2011 season. Taking to the helm of the 2011 Suzuki GSV-R is Alvaro Bautista, who has shown great promise on the otherwise lackluster race bike.
Despite its troubled past, Suzuki has been working hard on turning its toad into a prince, and could be the surprise entry in this year's MotoGP Championship. We don't expect the bike to win any races, but a couple surprise podiums do seem attainable for the squad. Photos and technical specifications after the jump.

Portland runs some fairly impressive after timeout plays (AOT) and this sideline cut play featuring LaMarcus Aldridge and Nic Batum is particularly impressive.
As with many inbounds plays, the primary scoring option will be the man inbounding the ball. You can also tell where the Trail Blazers are looking to score the ball by where they have setup negative space on the floor. In this case, the entire painted area is left open, so the defense should be looking for a cut there (if not to the far baseline). Let's take a look at how the play shakes out.
The play starts with Nic Batum is setup on the sideline, with Aldridge at the near high post, and Damian Lillard on the near low post. Wes Matthews and Robin Lopez are on the backside of the play along the arc, possibly ready to set a screen for one another.
Batum inbounds the ball to Aldridge on the elbow, while Lillard comes up two steps to set a screen on the Batum's defender. The Portland forward is looking to cut to the inside of the screen and go to the middle of the paint.
Batum jab steps his defender toward the baseline to get space, then rubs off Lillard's pick to the middle of the paint. This forces a switch between the two Phoenix Suns defenders due to an effective pick.
Aldridge throws a pass to Batum's left shoulder as he gets position inside the paint.
Batum scores the hoop.
The Lakers used a variation of this play to beat the Memphis Grizzlies in 2010. Kobe Bryant hit a game-winning shot with 4.7 seconds left to put Los Angeles up 99-98.
In the Lakers' version, the backside guard and post player set a screen for each other to get a pass from the near high post. Meanwhile, after the guard (Kobe) sets a screen for the inbounder, he rubs off a screen from the near post in order to make it to the three point line for a shot.
With Terry Stotts' willingness to use Robin Lopez as a passer on AOT plays, don't be surprised to see Damian Lillard in a similar variation of this play.

she and reverie's SS14 collection launch and trunk show - Camp Versailles
Last weekend we celebrated the elegantly dreamy launch of she and reverie's Camp Versailles collection with a backyard soiree at Brooklyn's Torque Cycling + Fitness.
Guests were treated to flavored-soda cocktails by Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain, dusted their mini cupcakes by Brooklyn Cupcake with edible glitter, and made gorgeous DIY dreamcatchers and flower-crowns while perusing the delightful new line inspired by that Girl Scout kitsch and the grown-up opulence of 17th century Versailles.
Thank you to Rachel Martino, Rachel et Nicole, Elle Ribera of Opium Poppies, Kristina Uriegas-Reyes of Twee Valley High, and Cheralee Lyle of Miss Lyle Style for hosting the event and The Forever Group for the Lasting Care lingerie wash so our guests can keep their delicates fresh, clean, and soft.

Another day of storms in the afternoon is the early outlook on our weather for Thursday. We'll maintain a 20% chance of showers for this afternoon, possibly as early as 3pm to the south of I-20.
Tomorrow the chances of rain dwindle to just a 10% chance or even less. However the heat will still be in place with temps climbing to the mid 90s.
The Flood of 2011 is still the primary weather story. The latest levels along the Mississippi are in Greenville at 50.8 feet. In Vicksburg the level this morning was measured at 48 feet even. At the Natchez site the level is at 55 feet even. The levels are consistently falling at this point.

Welcome to Parenthood (Now What?)
Learning to live with Baby
Sanity-Saving Tips
- Make sure you have an adequate support system, says New York City mother and pediatric nurse Alicia Schlesinger, RN. Particularly when you first return home, it's important to have someone not only to provide emotional support but also to help with infant care, cleaning, cooking, errands, and laundry. This support person may be a spouse, mother, mother-in-law, sister, doula, housekeeper, or baby nurse. Allow people to bring you nutritious meals or to care for your infant for an hour or two while you take a nap. Once your baby is a bit older, it may be helpful to join a new mothers group where you can share your experiences, questions, and concerns with others who are in the thick of it with you.
- Choose to ignore people who tell you that you can spoil newborns by picking them up every time they cry. Infants cry for a variety of reasons ranging from hunger to discomfort to the need to be held. For babies to develop a sense of security and basic trust they must know that Mom or Dad will consistently respond to their needs. When the child is a bit older, parents can use their voices to comfort the baby, but in early infancy touch is of paramount importance. Walking around with your infant in a Snugli or doing infant massage are wonderful ways to help your baby feel nurtured and soothed.
- Lower your expectations of what you can accomplish in a day, advises Dr. Meisels. Caring for a newborn requires an enormous amount of time and attention—holding and cuddling, stroking and burping, changing and feeding. Until you get organized and your baby falls into some sort of routine, it may be difficult to find time for household chores or cooking. Give yourself permission to cut corners, to use easily prepared foods, or to order in. Rest when your newborn is resting!
- Start a bedtime routine as early as possible. This may include singing lullabies, reading books, or rocking in a rocking chair. Experts suggest putting infants down while they are drowsy but still awake, so they can begin to learn what it's like to drift off to sleep by themselves. Although you want the house to be relatively quiet, do not insist that everyone whisper and walk around on tiptoe. Babies need to learn to fall asleep with some normal background noise such as the TV playing in a nearby room.
- Remember that other family members have needs, too. Because Dad may feel abandoned and jealous of Mom's new "love affair" with a newborn, Mom needs to spend some time listening to, laughing with, and enjoying her spouse, no matter how tired she feels. If there's a big brother or sister at home, be sure he or she gets plenty of affection too, and try to ensure that each parent enjoys some "alone time." Encourage visitors to pay attention to the "big kids," and keep a few small gifts on hand to dole out to older siblings in the event that visitors arrive with gifts for baby only.
- Enjoy your newborn! Get into the habit of taking lots of photos. Infants change every week, and capturing every stage on film allows you to enjoy your baby's development, both now and in the future.

The Economic Report of the President notes that after September 11, all measures of risk spreads widened.
the uniformity of stock market movements around the world suggests that a key driver of U.S. stock prices in 2002 was a worldwide decrease in tolerance for risky assets combined with lower projected earnings growth
A money manager suggested to me that this widening spread showed that "junk bonds" are undervalued. However, this is unlikely to be the case.
There is an arbitrage relationship between junk bonds, stocks, and options. Owning a "junk bond" in a company is like owning stock in that company, writing a call option on the stock, and investing the proceeds from the sold call option in low-risk bonds. Because of this relationship, when the prices of options rise, the spread between "junk" bonds and low-risk bonds goes up as well.
After September 11, uncertainty about the future of the U.S. economy increased. This tends to raise the price of options. Higher option prices can have surprising impacts in the economy, including raising the spread between high-risk and low-risk bonds.
For Discussion. What do you think that the uncertainty about war with Iraq is doing to option prices?

Thanko Solar MP4 Player
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video, USB
Thanko's MP4 player comes with a green bonus. A detachable solar panel will keep the entertainment coming, at least as long as the sun shines. One hour of charge will give you 15 minutes of video. In case of a cloudy day, use its USB connection to charge for about 5 hours. The 4GB player has a 220 × 176 pixels LCD screen, SD card support, built-in FM radio, mono speaker, voice recording, and a couple of games. Thanko's offering carries a price of ¥9,980 ($96.00.)

What a good idea! Saves on batteries, save on the earth and use energy efficiently, I like it!
Well it should have some sort of battery it charges for when you are not in the sun.
great for people on wheels who don't get much of time for charging. good for people on beach too. Not good for me. and definitely not good for miners. Might be good for tarzan, he need new technologies in the wild. lol.
Never heard of that brand before but looks cute.I think it'll be worth a try.$96 is too much though.
Good invention but I don't think someone 'normal' will use this mp4-player. Normaly your mp3/4-player is in your pocket and you will not turn you to the sun (if there is sun).
Excellent. Now they just need to put this technology into a device that doesn't suck.
Apple just recently filed for a patent for solar panels on devices such as iPods and their Macbooks… however I am sure they are going to implement it much better than the Thanko Solar MP4 Player, which has such poor battery life that it barely makes it useable
This looks pretty sweet,
I think the solar panels could work really well if they continuously (except at night) charge the batteries.
According to Thanko, an hour of charging under direct sunlight will yield enough juice for 35 minutes of audio or 15 minutes of video. This isn't the first green PMP device around, and I'm sure it definitely won't be the last.
If they can get it up to 1:1 and run the device purely off the solar panel, that would be a major improvement, and also wouldn't slowly kill your batteries through continuous charging/discharging as long as the sun is out.
Green is the way to go. This device appears to need a little bigger solar panel to make play time longer. I'm sure later devices will be more efficient.
Great for people on the go, and powered by the sun, although I wish that you could get more video time out of it maybe 15 minute more. Even if its cloudy you can charge it up with the usb cord. Good for the environment. I like all what it has to offer.
@buckeye yeah 15 minutes is not much play time considering how long you have to charge it for, plus the fact that thats probably in constant full light
very good effort but i think apple will put their solar panels to better use
This is what I'd like to see in every MP3 Player! This feature saves a lot of power usage. With the summer coming I could easily keep recharging my MP3 player just by using solar energy.
I like the voice recording features and the games. This seems like a good deal. It holds about 1,000 songs. It's not for me though. I love music, so maybe a 160 GB is the best deal. No offense. It's a good product though.

To help make the Internet a safer and more trusted place for families, Microsoft works with many non-profit organizations including the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI). Kim Sanchez, a director in the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Group, served as Chairman of the FOSI Board of Directors from September 2010 to June 2012. Microsoft is committed to helping reduce online risks through technological innovation, business and industry partnerships, outreach, and education. So, for Sanchez, the decision to help lead FOSI was an easy one.
"FOSI is the leading international online safety organization and I am honored to have had the opportunity to serve as the chair of a group that has made such a positive impact for Internet users around the world," said Sanchez.
"Microsoft is an invaluable partner in spreading the word about online safety in our constantly evolving Web 2.0 world," said Stephen Balkam, CEO of FOSI. "Together, we're working to make the Internet a safer place."
Video: Family Online Safety Institute (5:25)
The Family Online Safety Institute is an international, non-profit organization that works to make the online world safer for kids and their families. FOSI convenes leaders in industry, government, and the non-profit sectors to collaborate and innovate new solutions and policies in the field of online safety. Through research, resources, events, and special projects, FOSI promotes a culture of responsibility online and encourages a sense of digital citizenship for all.
The Platform for Good (PfG) is creating a new, groundbreaking tool to promote and encourage digital citizenship for parents, educators, youth, and kids by focusing on the many positive ways families and schools use technology. In addition, PfG uses interactive features and provides resources to help bridge the generational divide in the digital world.
FOSI's Global Resources Information Directory (GRID) is designed to be a comprehensive directory of online safety information. Microsoft provides financial support to help GRID monitor, track, and provide commentary on the efforts of countries around the world to make the Internet safer for their citizens. Visit the GRID website to learn more.
The Broadband Responsibility Project is an initiative designed to help create responsible digital citizens. Microsoft has worked with FOSI to create a checklist for implementing a comprehensive broadband responsibility plan in schools, communities, and states. The parental controls built into the Microsoft operating system are an important part of this checklist, which can be tailored to specific organizational needs and can be developed in a format that can be translated into various languages for use in different countries.
FOSI hosts industry and organization events around the globe to discuss cultural, public, and policy issues related to online safety. The events range from international roundtables to large seminars and conferences. The Institute hosts an annual two-day international conference, trade show, and awards dinner to highlight the extraordinary work, products, and services that exist today. For more information, see FOSI: Events.

This book starts by establishing that all believers in Christ are already, in fact, one with each other in Christ. This leaves us with the challenge, not of creating unity where it does not exist, but of living consistently with the oneness that already exists.
The first section explains why living consistently with our oneness is important, including Gods commands and expectations, the benefits of living in oneness and the hazards of living contrary to the truth. Part two explains what oneness is and is not, including the concepts that oneness is a harmony of diverse believers each doing their own part, not unison, unanimity or strict conformity to the same mold. The third section deals with practical barriers to living in onenessselfishness, misunderstandings, heresy, and incorrect understanding of the origin of the organizational divisions in the universal Churchand suggests how to overcome them.
In a review written for Amazon.com, Richard R. Blake said, "Our Oneness in Christ is a refreshing, long awaited for reminder of the need to live consistent with our position as believers. We are one with Christ and in Christ."
In a review for Spiritrestoration.org, Pastor Dwight Coffman wrote, "What is the most urgent problem of the modern day Church? Could it be that we fail to see and realize our need of each other in Christ? The authors, Ian Johnson and Lauston Stephens, make a compelling argument from scripture that the body of Christ is sadly divided and in need of unity." He went on to write, "this book should be read by all Christians who are looking for true revival in this age. Although it is not a book about revival per se, it deals with a fundamental issue that we must face before we can be instruments of God in any real move of revival."
Dr. Bruce Cook of ReserveBooks.com wrote, "Ostensibly a book of theology and Bible exegesis, this volume breaks new ground in the increasingly important struggle for unity among Christian believers. It is a fresh new look at church unity. This stance is remarkable because it rests on Biblical analysis (exegesis) to prove a point usually made by Christian believers who are turned off by literal analysis of Biblical text." He concluded his review: "This could be the most significant movement in the Christian church since the reformation."
The article on Our Oneness in Christ at the Authors Den summarizes: " Have you ever wondered why so many of God's promises only seem to work occasionally? Or why sickness, both physical and mental, seems to be more prevalent among Christians than it is in the world? Or why all of the efforts at unifying Church organizations have not resulted in more visible unity among believers on the street? A recently released book, Our Oneness in Christ by Ian Johnson and Lauston Stephens, provides at least one of the major answers to all of these questions: The Church has become too individualistic. God's promises are made to the Body of Christ, and only function properly in our individual lives when that Body is healthythat is, when we are each individually living out our oneness."
Theodocia at Ghost Writer Literary Reviews wrote that "The main theme that the authors develop is that most of God's promises were given to the Church as a unified Body, and become inaccessible when we live individualistically and in division. The authors don't just merely state their opinions, but they back up their belief with the scripture that is the foundation for their belief. The authors clearly show the Consequences of Division from Christ-the Head of the church and from the Church-the body of Christ."
Available in softcover, and PDF e-book format (both $9.95) direct from the publisher.
Also available as a Google e-book,or in Kindle format from Amazon.com. and as a Barnes and Noble Nook e-book.

Dear diary, today I had my first period!
A lifetime of control, lies, secrecy & manipulation.
Every day you live that way is another day you'll never be happy. Everything I've done in my life, I've done to try to be happy but every day I live this way is another day that happiness and normality escape me. It's not about being caught out, a good liar can get away with it 99% of the time, it's about the one person who always knows. While ever you treat people with suspicion and mistrust - and that leads to handling them carefully - you're never free.
I have to come to terms with the fact that I - like my father - am a cold and calculating person and that's all I'll probably ever be. No happiness, no normality, just more secrecy.
Wow, this new post-writing layout is a bit small. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I worked with a better resolution but I'm still CRT (which I just recently realised stands for cathode ray tube; you know, the old bulky tv / monitor tech.) Anyway, this is supposed to be a reboot, when I've got more time I'm gonna clean up my old posts and try to re-invent ol' Mort but for now I'm gonna go on a statement of intent / stream of consciousness kinda thing.
So, this reinvention. I need somewhere I can be honest, say the things I'd normally keep to myself, at the moment that's just about everything. I'm in yet another one of my recluse phases, seeing just about no-one, never going out, living the life of a shut-in. I'm never the most social of creatures but in the past these phases have literally lead to people thinking I'd died, these people lived just down the road from me too. Sometimes it's just easier to not have to deal with other folks, I don't always wanna be second-guessing them and tripping myself up mentally, sometimes all I want is solitude. It's not a great way to keep friends.
My life since I was here last? Not a fucking thing. I was on state benefits for a year before they interviewed me and decided I'm not depressed and socially dysfunctional enough for them and nipped me loose like a human turd. The way the UK is going with welfare is dire, it's not just me feeling it, unless you're a retarded quadruple amputee with parkinsons they'll judge you fit for work. Maybe if I'd told them that a couple of weeks before the interview I'd been dwelling on suicide they'd have thought differently but I doubt it, they could've found a job for my corpse, probably propping open a door.
Emotionally I'm either flat or inconsolably sad. I see myself as an android whose only moments of feeling are filled with the the despair that I'll never be human. As usual, my only moments of genuine happiness are because of drink, the one thing that allows me to escape who I am and act something like a real person.
"I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real / Like you / I want to be you / I should learn to be a man / Like you" - Numan
Just opened a bottle of red, I hate wine but when the beer runs out, it's the only thing around to keep the night going. I'm crap at opening wine so I used a little trick I saw in a video… well, part of the trick at least. If you can't get out a stubborn cork, just give the bottle a few whacks on the base with a good solid shoe and via some kind of physics or magic, it gives the cork some encouragement. Wish this was at least white, even if it was dry white, wine gives me a headache and makes me tired. Maybe that's why adults prefer wine, it discourages being energetic, makes fun less likely to happen, fun is dangerous.
I turn 30 in less than a month. It's given me a chance to look back at 15 years I've spent doing nothing but shrink and decay. In 15 years I've acheived literally nothing; I have no job or career, no lover, no kids or even pets, no money, no qualifications, no home of my own, not even a car and it's desperately depressing. I could bear all of that if I just had someone I could be a nobody with but I've estranged virtually all my friends and since I rarely step outside there's not much chance I'm gonna meet my soulmate. Week by week I shrink more and more, less sunlight, less words to the outside world, less tolerance of other people, less hope, less will to keep going but no will do die either. I exist, it's all I do.
That said, it's not that I don't have anything. I have music, I have my mum and brothers, I have talent (unused) and intelligence (also unused) but just no drive, no desire, no life. More and more I feel like a ghost, haunting people and places now and then, barely visible, anonymous, easy to dismiss as nothing real. I wish myself away, wish that I wasn't real, that I could just be something created in someone's dream and they're about to wake up and I'll be gone. I want to be forgotten by existence itself, with no trace of my being. My torment is that I am and continue to be.
I've been reading too much Poe.
I had a dream the other night that I was being "escorted" out of a factory by this tough black guy. I don't know why but I think at some point the guy had raped me or sexually assaulted me somehow, thankfully I don't remember that bit. As we're walking thru the factory I keep stealing stuff and stuffing it into my bag, hoping the big black guy won't notice, my dreams involve stealing stuff a lot, no idea why.
At some point all this turns into me & him actually being in together on a heist, we drive thru this multi-storey car park in a big black American-style SUV (think Cadillac Escalade) and now I think of it, I think the guy was American too. We get down to the ground level and get out and the guy leaves the SUV to roll out thru the barrier while we get into another vehicle (think it was a yellow pickup) with the other guys in on the heist and we drive off, past the broken barrier.
Anyone out there any good at analysing dreams? Like I said, stealing comes up a lot in my dreams and it's always stuff that I like in real life, I'm never stealing something I wouldn't actually want in real life. It's excessive too, I steal as much as I can even when it risks me getting caught.
Action is nothing new either, my dreams are quite often like action films or horror, very dramatic, sometimes whole sections seem like video games. The sexual abuse thing is new, I rarely dream about sex at all, let alone something so horrible as rape altho I'm not sure that actually happened in the dream, I just had the impression that it had.
At least for once it wasn't a really traumatic one, they're usually fucking awful.
Wow, I'm hot.
So what happens, do I hit 58 and decide it's time for a sex change and some age reversal?? I'm not complaining.

Our Story
We began dating in February of 2004. Jason was living in Omaha, NE and Justin in a nearby small town called Oakland, IA. We quickly realized that we both shared the same family values and similar interests in life. In the summer of 2005, we knew our relationship was strong and moved in together with our dog Bailey and later added Roxie and Molly to our small family.
Throughout the years, we have always dreamed of starting a family of our own but never thought it was possible. We cannot wait to share our passion for living with our child. Our child will always be surrounded by the support of family, friends, and unconditional love. The thought of becoming parents excites us and we are ready to provide our child with limitless opportunities and endless love.
Our Home
We are fortunate to live in Omaha, NE in the historic Dundee area with safe schools and playgrounds. In October of 2011, our neighborhood was named one of the nation's 10 best by the American Planning Association. In addition, Omaha was recently ranked one of the top ten best places for raising a family.
We live on a bike trail and a large park that was recently remodeled across the street. Justin and Jason helped the neighborhood association raise the funds and design the playground over the past year. We can picture quiet evenings in the summer with our child having a picnic in the park and playing on the new swings.
Family and Friends
Jason grew up in a small town in Illinois with his younger sister. His family lives in Illinois and we enjoy trips back home to spend time with his nieces. Justin grew up on the family farm in a small town in Iowa with his older brother. We are fortunate to have them close to our house to spend time with his nephew and niece. Our families have both been extremely supportive and excited about our decision to choose open adoption. Our nieces and nephews are already excited to have another cousin to go camping and sledding with.
We are also blessed to have many close friends through our involvement in the community and church who are also supportive of our decision to choose open adoption.
Our Interests
We love to play sports and look forward to teaching our child how to play them. One of our biggest dreams as fathers is attending our child's games and other school activities; to cheer him or her on and watch our child succeed. We also both enjoy cooking, gardening, horseback riding on the farm, as well as many other outdoor activities. One of our favorite things in the summer is to camp and canoe with Justin's family. We cannot wait to include our child on future trips and teach him or her our love for the outdoors.
In addition, we are both active in the community through sports, neighborhood association events, and church. We have also hosted movie nights in the park for neighborhood families and other fun activities for the neighborhood children.
About Jason (By Justin)
When I met Jason, I was attracted to his sense of humor and charming personality. He is the most nurturing, caring, and patient person I have ever met. I am thankful that we are able to share the same goals, morals, and values in raising our family together.
He looks forward to spending his days playing at the park across the street, camping with our families, and reading books with our child. Jason works at a large company as an IT director. He is fortunate to work for a company that is flexible with working families and allows him to adjust his schedule as needed as well as work from home during the week. Jason looks forward to being able to take our child to school in the morning as well as pick him or her up after school and hear about what our child learned that day.

Bullied... or ignored. Which is worse?
Shane's powerful presentation on standing up for yourself against bullying, and acknowledging your true beauty, got me thinking.
Bullying is a destructive act. It forces individuals into a category through labeling and name-calling that can sometimes cost that individual an entire lifetime to break out of.
But, what about ignoring an individual? Is denying someone's existence as destructive... or more so?

May 12 2013: oh my word Vermont, a beautiful state! I live in NE Conn. We call it " the last green valley". A hidden gem that's kept all the trees and pastures !
You know you have a great idea here Colleen. I vote for starting programs such as your "cognitive self change " in our schools with focus on middle and high school young adults. Get them before those young brains are hard -wired and the "Virtual world" many live in leave them partially desensitized.
here here to half full glasses!
May 13 2013: Schools do this now, Mary, though not using that language. It starts in primary grades, because bullying is already an issue then
It might have been since the disaster at Columbine High School that my state requires all schools to have anti-bullying programs that meet certain criteria. These programs typically involve regular short class meetings with groups of students that include consideration of the various people in bullying scenarios- bully, victim, and bystander, how to problem-solve in any of those positions, productive self-talk, and so forth.
Even aside from this, Health class addresses some of these issues as well.
May 13 2013: Mary Ellen and Fritzie,
Sorry I didn't see this sooner Mary Ellen....it was not connected to our conversation, so I didn't get a notice.
We have similar programs here too in schools as well as correctional facilities, and I think they have been more of a focus recently because of the increase in violence and cyberbullying, as Fritzie mentions. I'm not involved at all with schools, and have not been involved with corrections for a few years, but I hear about the programs.

NYS to Recharge LIPA Solar Rebate Program
Uniondale - (WALK) An infusion of cash from New York State will recharge a popular, solar power rebate program for local home owners, according to Long Island Power Authority officials.
LIPA's solar rebate program was suspended on August 30, when its budget ran down, but $5 million from the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency will enable the utility to resume taking applications beginning Monday, September 23 and support the program through December, according to a LIPA spokesman.
The LIPA rebate program typically covers between 1/3 and 1/2 of the cost of a home solar power system; systems may cost as much as $48,000, according to authorities. As many as 6,600 residential customers have installed solar roof panels, according to LIPA.

SPOKANE -- The Spokane Chiefs traded forward T.C. Cratsenberg to the Chilliwack Bruins on Tuesday for a conditional eighth round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.
The 18-year-old Cratsenberg appeared in 68 games and had 84 penalty minutes in his Chiefs career. Originally a sixth round pick in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft, the Federal Way, WA native was in his third season in Spokane.
"Considering the dynamics of our current roster T.C. was going to have a tough time getting the ice time that he deserved," Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz said. "Hopefully he can take advantage of the opportunity in Chilliwack. We wish him the best of luck."
The move leaves the Chiefs with 24 players on their roster; two goaltenders, eight defensemen and 14 forwards.

haven't been on here much lately, been spending more time at my other blog just journaling about stuff i've been going through. experiencing some heartbreak right now. mostly brought it on myself, i knew going in to it that it probably wouldn't work out, but i just wanted to BE with someone. it was weak and immature but i guess i'm learning the lesson right now. he wasn't a bad guy, just wasn't the right one for me, and i don't think he wanted to get super serious, especially with someone with a child. but he was kind and honest about his feelings and never screwed me over. still hurts and i still miss him.
not sure when i'll be back in the groove. haven't eaten much in a few days and although i feel like crap, i just don't have an appetite. hoping in the next week or so i get my appetite back and get motivated to go to the gym. until then just trying to drink lots of water, be around people that care about me, and focus on truth.

Current Projects
The Rules Committee continuously reviews the rules in light of national and overseas developments. It monitors Australian and United Kingdom reports and reforms to identify areas where New Zealand could adopt or adapt ideas.
The review process is a perpetual one. The following information is intended to provide an update of the current projects occupying the Rules Committee, although the list is not exhaustive. The Committee welcomes comments and inquiries from the profession and the public about existing projects or other concerns relating to procedural rules which it is thought should be brought to the Committee's attention.
Current projects
District Court Rules Reform
Following two rounds of consultation with the profession and interested parties, new District Court Rules have been finalised. The Rules have come into force on 1 July 2014.
Rules for the Case Management of Judicial Review Proceedings
The Committee is currently considering rules for the case management of judicial review proceedings. Case management of judicial review proceedings frequently requires directions to be made as to who should defend the proceedings and so case management is often required prior to the filing of a statement of defence. The existing case management rules are intended to apply where a statement of defence has been filed and so the Committee is considering whether new rules providing for the case management of judicial review proceedings are required.
Access to Court Documents
The Committee is currently evaluating how the access to court documents rules are functioning and investigating how the rules could be made simpler.
Criminal Procedure Rules
The Committee is also reviewing the Criminal Procedure Rules 2013. To this end, the Committee has formed a Criminal Rules Sub-Committee to monitor the Criminal Procedure Rules 2012. The membership and minutes of the Criminal Rules Sub-Committee can be found here.
Feedback and Suggestions
The Committee welcomes feedback on any of these or other issues relating to rules relating to the practice and procedure of the Courts. Please direct any comments to the Clerk.

Abu Dhabi GP: Sebastian Vettel not surprised to reach podium
|By Jonathan Noble and Jamie O'Leary
|Sunday, November 4th 2012, 15:35 GMT
Finishing third in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix came as no surprise to Sebastian Vettel, despite the world champion starting the race from the pitlane.
After being excluded from qualifying over a fuel issue, the Red Bull driver was forced to drive through the pack in a bid to prevent Fernando Alonso reducing his Formula 1 championship lead.
With Alonso finishing second - only one place ahead of Vettel - the Spaniard reduced his advantage by only three points.
Vettel now leads the standings by 10 points with 50 available from the final two races.
Red Bull pitted Vettel under safety car conditions on lap 13, by which time he had made it onto the verge of the top 10.
That allowed a front wing, which had been damaged in contact with Bruno Senna on the first lap and with a marker board during a safety car near-miss, to be changed and also enabled Vettel to switch from medium to soft tyres.
He climbed to second before stopping again and dropping to fourth, but reaped the benefit of another safety car period to close onto the tail of the lead trio.
When asked if he thought a podium was achievable at the start of the race, Vettel said: "Yes I did to be honest with you.
"After the first couple of laps that target was drifting a little bit away.
"I had a messy start, wanted to get through cars quickly and damaged the front wing, and under the safety car had a bit of a mistake with Daniel Ricciardo, because he was braking on the straight and we nearly touched."
Vettel said that the highlight of his afternoon was the late-race battle with Jenson Button for the final podium position.
The German stole the place from the McLaren driver after tucking into his slipstream in the second DRS zone and then driving around the outside of him into the following left-hander.
"I had a fantastic race, the safety car helping here and there, and in the end there was a nice fight with Jenson, who was difficult to pass," said Vettel.
"I expected to have a little easier time passing slower cars before, but I squeezed my way past.
"It was a thrilling grand prix, up and down all the time and it's very nice to stand here and pick up trophy."

Lace issue
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Bought these in Chamonix for easy rock routes and am quite disappointed . Not nearly as sticky as Guide Tennies and the toe block folds as one in holds so does not feel smeary or precise. Scarpa Vit. that my partner was using looked better. The worst I am afraid was on the descent where the material eye loops base sewn into the boot produces a lump which sits over my little toe bone, so after an hours descent is very painful. Not too impressed as I thought they would be great
No break in!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These shoes fit great right off the bat! I ordered the size 10.5 and they fit true to size but if you have a narrow foot it may be a good idea to go half a size down. I took these on a mellow hike up to a waterfall and they held up great through sand, mud, and snow melt! The toe seems tacky enough to accomplish any approach and the Traxion sole was perfect for hoping off rocks on the descent with out any pain. I also like the molded rubber tongue, it was great for keeping scree and sticks out!

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had these for a few months and want to like them but there are a few issues. The tounge has a tendency to fold under and it is hard to fit my fat hands inside to straighten it out. The traxion rubber is so-so but nothing compared to the stealth rubber of 5-10. Adidas bought out 5-10 so maybe they will be using some stealth rubber soon. I have used them mostly for biking because I have a better pair of shoes for approach.
I am returning them for the solo swift, hopefully they don't have the same issue
These were quite comfortable though
Member since
any update on the solo swift? thinking about grabbing a pair and was curious if there was any difference
Member since
yes the tongue issue is mute in the new model but still very stiff

i've been wearing La Sportiva Boulder X in size 8.5. How does the sizing in this shoe compare?
Brett Allen
Member since
I wear 10.5 in almost all my shoes, these fit true to size! Especially great if you have a slightly wider foot!
Great Approach Shoe!

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had many approach shoes over the years and I am very impressed with the Adidas Terrex Solo. I have taken them through a summer of long and short approaches in dry and wet conditions and they have performed very well. I like the wide platform, versatile fit options, and the low to the ground ride.
Member since
I cannot attest to the durability or break in period of these shoes as I returned them as soon as possible.
The rubber is far from sticky: as hard as I tried I could not stick to any angle. They seemed quite uncomfortable out of the box due to one of the lasts being slanted down and in. The sizing is also quite off compared to any other climbing footwear. I usually wear a 10.5 or an 11, so I ordered both of these sizes. Neither of them were anywhere close to fitting. I generally climb in 9.5 pre-downsized shoes, so I am accustomed to a tight fit but honestly, I swam in these and there is no way they would have performed satisfactorily while I scrambled and buildered. Lets face it, no matter how nice a shoe is, it isn't nice if it doesn't fit. I would like to give these shoes a second chance, but only under the stipulation that I got them for free. Sorry Adidas, but you missed the mark on this one.
Best approach shoes I've found
Member since
Let me start by saying I've tried a lot of different shoes for approach, and this is the first pair that I've been completely happy with. I tried New Balance trail runners (squishy sole had terrible grip scrambling), La Sportiva Boulders (unbelievably tight toe, even upsized 2 sizes), Patagonia Karakorams (painfully stiff upper that stubbornly refused to break in), and Merrell Trail Gloves (no underfoot protection for walking on scree). The Adidas fit true to size, have a beautifully grippy sole, stiff enough sole that your feet don't get beat up by scree, and the Adiprene is stiff enough that you keep your footing scrambling up rocks. They took almost no breaking in (I wore them to work 1 day before a weekend climbing). The coolest feature is the foam tongue top... it's hard to explain, but since its shape is fixed, it keeps the tongue from bunching up or sliding to the side. Oh, and the price was hard to beat at $65 on sale!
Overall, I'm quite pleasantly surprised by Adidas' foray into real outdoor gear.

Crap, now I don't want to wear any of my other shoes. I just took these out of the box, slipped them on and fell in love. They are ridiculously light, and the fronts climb well. I hope they last for ever!
ohh, and the bump to 50% actually makes me feel a little guilty
Great Approach Shoe

I have been using this as an approach shoe and for dry canyoneering. The rubber is sticky and has been waring well. The shoe has been comfortable and supportive for he.
are these shoes good for bouldering

Thomas Ogasawara

As far as approach shoes go, these are actually some of my favorite for bouldering. Good to see Adidas really stepping it up with the outdoor gear.
Terrex Solo Approach
Member since
I wear many different Adidas shoes. These unlike some others fit true to size. Very comfortable. No cut in the achilles tendon area. Love the shoes and bought two pairs. One caveat, I hate shoes with a lot of arch support and at times have cut it out of other Adidas shoes I have. These were perfect. Point being, if you like a lot of support in the arch these may not work as well for you.
Adidas? An Approach Shoe?
Member since
Just picked up a pair of these for a 4 day climbing trip in the Daks of Upstate NY, where the approaches consisted of grade IV scrambles, steep muddy hills and a lot of wet leaves. I was rather hesitant when I first got these in the mail, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. They handle the trail pretty well and climb just as well. They could stand to be a little more stiff to support the foot better on the uphill portion with a 50 lb pack, and it would allow them to edge a little better. They appear to run a little bigger than the running shoes.
