LEAP OrganicsAn Innocent Little CompanyLEAP uses only natural goodness, ingredients you'd recognize in a farmer's market, goodies that haven't gone through beakers, vitals, burners or boilers. They channel invigorating mint and eucalyptus to make a tremendously refreshing body bar. No PhD in chemistry required. (And no BS.) They believe in harnessing the purity of the best things in nature - and then giving something back. That's why they use recycled packaging and renewable energy, pursue zero-waste, sustainable business practices and donate 3% of sales to non-profits. That makes clean skin for a clean conscience. About LEAP's Ingredients Organic StandardsOrganic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed, but the term "organic" does not mean anything without formal certification. The world's most stringent organic certification process remains the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP). An organic ingredient or product that is certified organic by the USDA NOP guidelines is the gold standard. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. All of LEAP's organic ingredients meet the USDA NOP guidelines, and this is something LEAP does like to brag about! In order to have your ingredients and products certified organic, a company must enlist the services of an organic certifier. These folks are third parties that verify that a company's ingredients and processes have met all of the USDA's organic guidelines. LEAP uses Oregon Tilth to certify its organic ingredients and processes in accordance with the USDA's guidelines. Oregon Tilth is one of the nation's leading organic certifying agencies. What does it mean to be certified organic?For starters, no toxic pesticides or herbicides were used to grow the ingredients. In order to be an organic farm, the land on which the plants are grown must not have had prohibited substances applied (such as toxic and persistent chemical pesticide and fertilizers) for three years prior to the farm being certified organic. Secondly, farmers and processors must keep detailed and audited records of methods and materials used in growing or processing organic products. In addition, a third-party certifier approved by the USDA must inspect the methods and materials used annually. Lastly, and just as important, all handlers and farmers are required to maintain an Organic Systems Plan detailing their agricultural practices. This plan outlines how their specific farm will meet the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) standards. For most farms, this means the use of: crop rotation to prevent soil depletion, planting cover crops to add nutrients back into the soil, releasing beneficial insects and birds to prey on pests rather than insecticides, and adding composted manure to help the land retain moisture and nutrients without the need for chemical fertilizers. More about organics and organic standards:Organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. It includes a system of production, processing, distribution and sales that assures consumers that the products maintain the organic integrity that begins on the farm. National organic standards set out the methods, practices and substances used in producing and handling crops, livestock and processed agricultural products. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organically produced foods also must be produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, genetic engineering and other excluded practices, sewage sludge, or irradiation. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the integrity of the food. Consumers can look for the "USDA Organic" seal or other approved labeling, and for the name of the certifier on the label of the products they consider for purchase. Products labeled "100% Organic" and carrying the "USDA Organic" seal are just that – they contain all organically produced ingredients. Products that are made from at least 95% organic ingredients, and have remaining ingredients that are approved for use in organic products may also carry the "USDA Organic" seal. In addition, products that contain at least 70% organic ingredients may label those on the ingredient listing. Producers and processors voluntarily use these labels, and may use organic ingredients without being required to label them. "Organic" vs. "Natural"What's "organic?" What's "natural?" Is it "orgatural" or "naturanic?" The natural and organic labels in the soap and skincare industry are sometimes as confusing as the entire plot of the show Lost.Below are some points that should help to clear up some of the confusion: Certified organic ingredients come directly from nature. Natural ingredients come from nature (usually – more on that later). BUT, only certified organic ingredients are organic. While both certified organic and natural ingredients come from nature, only certified organic ingredients are grown and farmed according to very strict farming and agricultural practices that differ greatly from non-organic, conventional (natural) farming practices. Certified organic ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, all of which can pollute and damage their environment and get into your products. "Natural" ingredients may be natural, but if they are grown with agricultural chemicals, they can end up in your products, as well as pollute their soils and land. Yuck. Organic farming can greatly reduce the use of fossil fuels since its practices don't use agricultural chemicals, which can account for over half of on-farm energy use. Organic farming practices like crop diversity, nutrient replacement, and water conservation lead to healthier soil and land. Worms everywhere love organic farmers! There is no industry definition of "natural," and many products claiming such a distinction often contain less than 1% of ingredients derived from nature, while the other 99% are synthetic, petroleum-based chemicals. In fact, the natural products industry specifically allows synthetic preservatives, fragrances, and detergents in their "natural" products. Hmm. The term "organic" does not mean anything, either, without formal certification. The world's most stringent organic certification process remains the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP). LEAP uses Oregon Tilth to certify its organic ingredients and processes in accordance with the USDA's guidelines. An organic ingredient that is certified organic by the USDA NOP guidelines is the gold standard. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. About LEAP OrganicsWhere does the name LEAP come from and does it stand for anything?Even though "LEAP" is in all capital letters, it doesn't stand for anything. Sure, they could make something up like Lovely Environmentally Aware People. Wait a minute, that actually sounds like it fits. But, in all reality, it comes from the concepts of "making the leap" and "leaping forward." The idea for LEAP was to take skincare products to the next level in terms of purity and effectiveness and to take a company to the next level in terms of sustainability. In order to do this they had to take…a leap of faith. Ok, that was a little cheesy, but you get the picture. Philosophies for Sustainability Overview Product PhilosophyFirst and foremost LEAP only uses ingredients that come from nature. No synthetics, no parabens, no petroleum, no sulfates, no GMOs, no chemicals of any kind. Simply put - no bad stuff. LEAP's goal is to use all certified-organic ingredients (using USDA National Organic Program standards). Being a sustainable company means using sustainable ingredients that maintain the integrity of the land and the purity of the products. In addition, they source fair-trade ingredients when possible, they never test on animals, and they proudly list every ingredient they use on their labels and website. Packaging PhilosophyIf there were bad "p" words, "packaging" would be one of them. But since they need to use it, LEAP Organics tries to use the most sustainable packaging available to them – while using the least amount possible – that allows them to safely and effectively deliver their products. LEAP's goal is to use 100% recycled, recyclable, and/or renewable materials that have the lowest carbon footprint and the best sustainable waste option for the end-consumer. Bottom-line: lower the impact of the "p" word. People PhilosophyLEAP Organics people philosophy is fairly simple: work with curious, philanthropic, and creative people who know how to get things done. Then give them the encouragement to be curious, the flexibility to be creative, and the opportunity to be philanthropic. Most importantly, work with nice people and treat customers as friends they simply have yet to meet. Philanthropy PhilosophyIn addition to making good products, being able to give something back to charitable causes that have meaning to them is why they started LEAP, and they will donate a minimum of 3% of their annual revenues to global environmental non-profits. It's always felt like the right thing to do as a community partner, plus it helps to provide some context around why they "work." When they're up at 1am researching new ingredients and packing boxes and writing emails, there needs to be somewhat of a "higher calling" to support all of that work. Besides, if that karma thing ends up really working, they'd rather be on the good side of things. LEAP Organics are members of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses that donate at least 1% of their annual revenues to environmental non-profits worldwide. However, LEAP challenged themselves to make a larger commitment and will donate a minimum of 3% of their annual revenues to global environmental non-profits focused on the health, conservation, and stewardship of the environment. It's an aggressive campaign, but they believe in the groups they support and want to do their part to help where they can. In 2010, they partnered with Clean Air-Cool Planet, Trees For The Future, and The Student Conservation Association. Each of these non-profits all have one thing in common – they encourage their communities' young people to take an active role in helping to preserve and to protect their environment. Product PhilosophyMuch of a company's impact on the world comes from the ingredients it uses, so LEAP Organics is a big stickler on the ingredients they use and what goes into their products. Their goal is to use all certified organic ingredients (using USDA National Organic Program standards), and in those cases where a non-certified organic must be used, it must still be sourced from nature. Resource PhilosophyLEAP Organics biggest guilt as a company is that they use the Earth's resources, and that really bugs them. So, they built LEAP from the ground up using renewable energy and zero waste principles, and they are constantly trying to push the company towards having the smallest carbon footprint as possible. True Profitability PhilosophyAt the end of the day, every company needs profits to survive, and LEAP Organics is no different. Gasp! Yup, that's right, they do have some capitalistic blood flowing through them, but it's not the only reason they're in business. They simply measure profits using more than just dollars.

When we lost to the Bills, I jumped on my xbox, found Spesh online, and we killed people on Assassin's Creed. That's it. No crying, no whining on the forum, none of that nonsense. The main forum the last 3 weeks has been a dumpster fire of unchecked estrogen, tears, and a whole pallet of obnoxious. Borderline unreadable...

Now, Firefox's new Personas feature has seem taken off really well. Each time I visit the Personas web site, there are more and more backgrounds to use for Firefox. So with such a good start, what will be the downfall of the Personas?
It all comes down to quantity over quality. Some of these backgrounds just are not any good. The same could be said for many Firefox themes too, but with Personas – there are a few simple things that could go a long way before you submit it for the public, that would be so easy to check into.
For example, look at this:
I am not going to use a Persona where I can't read anything inside of the browser.
Other annoyances would be having text in the background, having the background be too busy, and general "why the heck did you think that would make a good background" questions of designing competence.
So you tell me, what makes for a better Firefox Persona or have you been turned off my many of the ugly background out there? Post your feedback and thoughts in the comments.

The Toolkit is designed to help developers take advantage of the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) and Decentralized Software Services (DSS) originally released as part of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio.
The CCR and DSS Toolkit targets early adopters by providing access to select technologies today; transitioning to Microsoft's .NET Framework in the future.
Microsoft CCR and DSS Toolkit can help developers by targeting two significant challenges common in today's application development:
Concurrency & Coordination
The Toolkit provides developers an easy way to create and coordinate loosely-coupled, data-driven applications. The Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) component provides a powerful in-memory message-passing architecture with powerful orchestration primitives enabling the coordination of data and work.
State-Driven Composable
The Toolkit enables the creation of state-driven and composable loosely-coupled applications. The Decentralized Software Services (DSS) runtime component offers a lightweight state-oriented services architecture enabling late-bound, loosely coupled applications. It provides a consistent model between local and distributed applications.
Flexible Development
The Toolkit offers the flexibility of utilizing development tools like Microsoft Visual Studio along with other .NET programming tools while providing support for both .NET and .NET Compact Framework libraries.

The Maryland State Police Prince Frederick Barrack is investigating a fatal accident, which occurred in Solomons Tuesday evening.
According to a press release, Zenaida Suarez Baquiran, 55, of Glen Allen, Va., was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, which involved three vehicles on Route 4 near the Naval Recreation Center. At about 5:41 p.m., police arrived at the scene of the accident and the preliminary investigation determined Baquiran had been heading south, driving a black 2008 Honda Civic in the slow lane. Baquiran changed into the left lane and the rear of the vehicle struck the front of a red 2003 Ford Mustang, driven by Miguel Angel Salazar Diaz, 28, of Lexington Park. After colliding with the Mustang, Baquiran�s vehicle crossed the median into oncoming northbound traffic and struck a blue 1996 Ford F250, driven by Charles Paul Hester, 51, of Lusby.
Baquiran was pronounced dead at the scene. Hester was taken to Prince George�s Hospital Center for non-life threatening injuries. MSP troopers were assisted at the scene by members of the Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Department, the Calvert County Sheriff�s Office and the State Highway Administration. The investigation is ongoing, but police said in the press release that alcohol and speed are not believed to have been factors in the crash.

Ramadan Tourism: Hot cities to spend your Holy Month in
Although Muslims habitually stay at home for Ramadan, living the holy month abroad is becoming more common in an increasingly mobile age. This year, Lebanon's minister for tourism even made a public appeal for Ramadan visitors to consider the arguably less obvious choice, while traditional tourism hot-spot for Ramadan, Saudi Arabia, has started up a tourist campaign to open up the Holy Kingdom to non-religious visitors too.
For anyone planning on trying Ramadan abroad, whether for the experience of a travelling Ramadan, or out of necessity in times of political unrest in the Middle East, here's our Ramadan tourist special - a cross section of Arab world cities and capitals for a state-of-the-art Ramadan experience.
Ramadan 2012 falls in the peak summer season of travel, so inevitably a lot of Muslims may spend a touristic Ramadan.
During hours of fasting, the experience from region to region is similar, but the true character or essence of a Ramadan time is manifested as the city comes alive for Ramadan nights.
The Iftars (or break-of-fast-meal) makes a central platform of the holy month, with a big emphasis placed on the fine food on the table.
Traditionally targetted hotspots for the religious tourism of Ramadan would be Mecca and Medina. Here, we explore alternative options to the Holy Kingdom, that can be as holy as you make them, with the assistance of added learning opportunities in cities that open up lectures and libraries to enhance the spiritual quality of the holy month.
Some Arab and Near East capitals have their own unique delights to offer in the spiritual as well as commercial stakes. While we wonder if Egypt's Ramadan will feature an added note of zeal for its firstime Brotherhood Ramadan, we explore Cairo alongside other Mideast choice locations for Ramadan 2012.
Muslim or non-Muslim tourists seeking a Ramadan holiday experience can shop here!
Share your thoughts on the somewhat newage concept of Ramadan tourism. Leave your commets in the space below.

He failed, despite holding more power than ever.
"Nobody in this state has ever had more political capital than he does right now," says Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli (R-John Day).
But Ferrioli says Kitzhaber is in danger of squandering that capital.
In early July, Kitzhaber began setting the framework for a special legislative session to make further cuts to the Public Employee Retirement System. But he's made little progress and gotten sidetracked with an effort to revive the multibillion-dollar Columbia River Crossing project.
His failure to convince lawmakers to make further PERS cuts would not only threaten Kitzhaber's ability to pay for his health-care and education reforms, it would increase the chances of brutal 2014 ballot-measure wars.
As Kitzhaber dawdles, both Republicans and Democrats have calcified back into rigid positions.
Since the regular session ended July 8, Ferrioli and the Senate GOP's point man on PERS and tax reform, Sen. Larry George (R-Sherwood), say they've repeatedly asked to meet with Kitzhaber to no avail.
"He is the one who made PERS a big issue," George says. "We said we'd go there with him and I thought it would be relatively easy to make a deal. But that's all changed."
Public-employee unions, which seemed resigned to deeper PERS cuts in June, have stiffened their opposition.
"We'll lobby hard against any more cuts," says Joe Baessler, statewide political director for the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees. "It's really hard to keep coming back to public employees as the solution for the state's financial problems."
In a recent statewide tour, Kitzhaber emphasized the urgency of PERS cuts and new revenue for K-12 schools, telling audiences it would save the jobs of 2,000 teachers.
Kitzhaber's spokesman, Tim Raphael, says the governor is fully engaged with all stakeholders and in making his case to the public. "He is absolutely committed to getting a PERS and revenue package done," Raphael says.
George negotiated with Kitzhaber in the final days of the session to broker $5 billion in PERS cuts and a package of small-business tax cuts and new taxes that would have netted $200 million in new revenue.
Now George says he's mystified by Kitzhaber's approach, which includes new ideas, such as potential capital-gains and property-tax cuts to offset revenue increases, instead of the small-business tax relief Republicans favor. Kitzhaber is also pursuing a so-far unsuccessful strategy of trying to peel off two GOP senators to vote with Democrats on taxes and PERS (Democrats control the Senate 16-14 but need 18 votes to raise taxes).
Time is running short for Kitzhaber, because the consensus in Salem is that if major PERS changes are to happen, they must go through before next year's elections.
Making a significant reduction in future pension obligations could also help Democrats and their public-employee union supporters on another front: 2014 ballot measures.
Today, the union-backed group Our Oregon has tax increases pointed at next year's ballot. Conservatives are pushing measures that would slash public-employee unions' political activity.
"We'd just like to see Oregon be a better place to do business," says Stimson Lumber CEO Andrew Miller. "It seems the governor's lost control, and that puts at risk everything that's important to him."
A PERS deal could deflate anti-union sentiments and avert the class warfare that accompanied the passage of 2010 tax increases.
"The governor sees enormous downside to the state in divisive ballot measures," Raphael says.
But even as the PERS dance continues, Kitzhaber is also expending political capital to revive the CRC, which appeared to die in the Washington Senate earlier this summer.
Many lawmakers, including several who voted unenthusiastically for it during the session, see the CRC as a costly distraction. Kitzhaber wants funding in place for an Oregon-only CRC project by Sept. 30.
Senate President Peter Courtney (D-Salem) says he's cautioned Kitzhaber and House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland), also a strong CRC backer, not to complicate a special session by trying to address the CRC and PERS.
A veteran of 17 special sessions, including one that lasted 34 days, Courtney says he hopes Kitzhaber can pull together a tightly focused, brief session.
"I'm terrified of special sessions," Courtney says. "If you get in there and don't know exactly what you're doing, it's horrible."

Interpretive Handbook
8328 :
Lipase, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Lipases are enzymes that hydrolyze glycerol esters of long-chain fatty acids and produce fatty acids and 2-acylglycerol. Bile salts and a cofactor, colipase, are required for full catalytic activity and greatest specificity. The pancreas is the primary source of serum lipase. Both lipase and colipase are synthesized in the pancreatic acinar cells and secreted by the pancreas in roughly equimolar amounts. Lipase is filtered and reabsorbed by the kidneys. Pancreatic injury results in increased serum lipase levels.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Investigating pancreatic disorders, usually pancreatitis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In pancreatitis, lipase becomes elevated at about the same time as amylase (in 4-8 hours). But lipase may rise to a greater extent and remain elevated much longer (7-10 days) than amylase.
Elevations 2 to 50 times the upper reference have been reported. The increase in serum lipase is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the attack. Normalization is not necessarily a sign of resolution.
In acute pancreatitis, normoamylasemia may occur in up to 20% of such patients. Likewise, the existence of hyperlipemia may cause a spurious normoamylasemia. For these reasons, it is suggested that the 2 assays complement and not exclude each other, and that both enzymes should be assayed.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients should be fasting before the specimen is drawn.
Collection tubes with glycerol-lubricated stoppers or tubes containing citrate, oxalate, or EDTA should not be used.
Certain drugs such as cholinergics and opiates may elevate serum lipase.
Renal disease may elevate the serum lipase.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =16 years: 10-73 U/L
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <16 years of age.

I have been on a three-year quest to find the perfect ranch dressing recipe, and I finally found it! This is great! I did make modifications to suit our Texas taste buds (ranch dressing is a condiment here!), but this is a wonderful start. My modifications are to 1) Change the mayo/sour cream/buttermilk to 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2)Increase the garlic to 1/2 tsp., and 3) Add 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (for consistency). Thanks Dawnia!
Prepared as written this is a perfectly acceptable mayonnaise-based dip. But that's not what I wanted. I wanted ranch dressing, easily achieved by backing off on the mayonnaise and thinning it out with buttermilk. Dried herbs, if they're fresh, are just fine; but since I had them I used fresh herbs to taste. Much improved if prepared an hour or two in advance.

Pretty good. If you want a dip for cut veggies - use the sour cream. If you want a dressing to drizzle over salad - use buttermilk.
I'm a chef in Southern, CA, and 27 years old...best 'simple' recipe for ranch/house dressing that I've ever made in a pinch. I had suprise guests come over, and my buddy loves my cobb salad. I left my recipes at work, and needed to make a good blue cheese dressing. I looked up this recipe and then added a tsp. of worstechire sauce, and gorgonzola cheese to make the blue cheese dressing and it was great. I saved half of the original ranch dressiing and had it woth some buffalo wings, carrot, and celery the next night, and by then it had developed a fantastic flavor. GREAT RECIPE.
Chef Dave
I quite like this recipe with a few changes of my own and from those of other reviewers. First I decreased the sour cream to only 1/4 c. as I thought the sour cream flavor was a little overpowering. I added 1/2 c. buttermilk to the mayo and used 1/8 tsp. seasoned salt in place of the regular salt, I also added 1/4 tsp. vinegar as had been suggested and upped the garlic powder to 1/2 tsp. With these changes I gave it 5 stars. Thanks for the recipe, it is wonderful!
Bottled dressings aren't even close to hanging with this homemade version! I loved it! I used buttermilk and also used fresh chives. It is imperative to let it chill in the fridge for a while. Just after making it, I tried it and it tasted "mayonnaisey." But after three hours it just tasted great! Thanks for the recipe, it is definetly a keeper.
This is absolutely the best ranch dressing I have ever tasted! I make it all the time for my husband and when I have guests over. Everyone asks for the recipe! If I use it as a dip I leave it just the way it is. As a salad dressing I thin it out a bit with 2% milk. Always yummy!
I've made this a number of times now, and everyone always compliments it. Based on earlier reviews, I use 1/2 cup each of mayo, sour cream, and buttermilk, but otherwise leave the recipe unchanged. It is a thicker dressing (even with the buttermilk modification), perfect for dips, but also compliments salads nicely, sticking to the salad and not gathering uselessly in the bottom of the bowl. As others have mentioned, the flavors blend together much better after a day or two. Have I found my Ranch Nirvana? Not yet, but this is as close as anything else I've tried! Thanks, Dawnia!

The Open University's mission is to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. This is reflected in our research which has the same openness and global reach. Welcome to our research community where you will join just over 1,000 postgraduate research students, working in our Affiliated Research Centres (ARCs) around the world, at our state-of-the art research facilities on campus in Milton Keynes, and online. 241 students were awarded research degrees in the academic year 2012-13.
The Open University's innovative research and development ranks in the top third of UK universities. It influences policy and practice from local to global levels and enriches lives across the world.
In the last Research Assessment Exercise 2008, 80 per cent of OU research in Art and Design and 70 per cent in both Computing and Earth Systems, was deemed 'internationally excellent' or better. We are pioneers in these disciplines. For example, The Open University was first to:
- develop an early warning system for detecting epidemics
- develop the UK's first biodegradable plastics test facility
- use a NanoSIMS to measure space dust to provide an understanding of the origins of the solar systems
- develop the first device to predict the duration of volcanic eruptions
- identify that deforested tropical peat swamps are losing ancient carbon from their drainage water as ecosystem undergoes collapse
- develop a database to track people's experiences of reading
- launch a systematic research programme in Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI), to create technology designed for and by animals.
Our aim is to ensure OU research continues to be recognised for excellence and impact, delivering substantial benefits to the University's mission and priorities.
Some key outcomes by 2015 include:
- The University will have benefited from sustainable improvements in the quality and impact of its research
- We will have demonstrated both peaks of research excellence and universally high research quality, in a strong environment for research and scholarship.

Great shoes, the speed lace system is impossible to find in ANY stores if you have to replace it. You have to contact the company that makes the shoes for Adidas. This company is AGRON and the number is 1-800-966-7697. They were very good to work with and sent a replacement lace system out free of charge. ... read more
I work on concrete floors all day, walking close to 5 miles a day. These shoes are like walking on beds of squishy marshmallow wonderment. I am sure if i round housed someone in the face with these on, they would thank me for the soft, gentle embrace of encouragement the sole of this shoe provides. Four of my co- workers have made the same investment in their soles! 3 X45 degrees for life! ... read more
I have owned 2 pairs of the Energy Boosts and LOVED these shoes as hands down the best and most durable neutral trainers I've found. I wanted to get a distance racing or tempo shoe with Boost, but wanted just a little more cushion than the Adios. Along comes the Boston 5 , and I was definitely not disappointed by this shoe. It's got a lighter, firmer and slightly lower to the ground feel than the Energy Boost, but is not lacking in cushioning whatsoever with distance up to 15 miles so far. As I said, great addition! ... read more
Please do not stop making these shoes. I not only speak for myself, many of my friends who have had these are discouraged because these are not made anymore. Please, please, please, do not stop making these. ... read more
This is probably the best shoe i have ever tried on. It is too bad this shoe runs small and the biggest size available is 12.5...I wear a 12 usually but since these run small i tried a 12.5 they were extremely comfortable but still small..probably the most comfortable shoe i have ever put on. Adidas you have created a god like shoe; however, its too small...please make a larger size. Would be a five star from me but you don't make a large enough shoe for me. It would be amazing if i could fully experience these shoes. Please make a size 13. With all respects, Jrob8 ... read more
This is my first pair of Boost running shoes. It is a great distance running shoe: comfortable, light, provides tons of shock absorption and keeps your body feeling energized mile after mile. It fits true to size and has a generous toe box area. Future generations will wonder how we used to run on anything else. Based on my use so far, I don't think I would use these for higher intensity running drills like 200s or shorter, but for its intended use, you can't beat it. Construction of the shoe is very high quality, with premium blending of materials and nicely executed 3D effect with 3 stripes and logo on the tongue and heal cap. ... read more
I never thought I'd love a pair of shoes so much but these shoes are something special. Initially I felt they were a bit odd and different, not in a bad way but something I wasn't used to. I really enjoyed the light weight and how incredibly comfortable they were. I love being able to wear them without socks and my feet are very comfortable. The first two days I was only walking in them around work but.. The magic happened when I finally went for a run. I wore minimalist running shoes before and the pure boost are on a completely different level. I could run longer, harder, and faster. I felt the shoe gave an incredible amount of support and comfort which most minimalist shoes don't seem to offer. My running shoes are now my every day shoes and I couldn't be more satisfied. ... read more
The product was shipped very quickly even when I had it shipped ground. The proudct is a classic shoe that is very comfortable and fits to your foot well. I recommend this to anyone who plays basketball. ... read more
I got these last week as an early Christmas present. So far I've put 24 miles on them. The bottom of the shoe is great. The boost foam makes it cushioned but it is still responsive and light and the traction on roads is phenomenal. However, I'm not very happy with the upper. The toe box is quite narrow, the length is good (I ordered a size 11) but the D width is really freakin' tight. Also, why Adidas chose to make the toe of the shoe out of felt is beyond me. I've had to put a lubricant on my toes to stop them from rubbing against the shoe and each other. I hope that Adidas fixes the upper on this shoe because it is a dang good running shoe. ... read more
I just completed my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. I purchased the Terrex Fast X as a replacement shoe in Daleville, VA and finished my journey with them on Mt Katahdin. Great shoe excellent grip on rocks and dry quickly after becoming wet. I would highly recommend this shoe. I will be wearing them on the PCT next summer. Toasted Toad ... read more
Absolutely the best hiking shoe I ever owned. Came from the Merrel brand, needed something less sneaker like, but not a full blown hiking shoe with all the clunkyness. This thing feels perfect the minute you put in on, no breaking in necessary. Good job Adidas! ... read more
For me, the sizing is always tricky with Adidas shoes. I went up a full size in these. Normally wear a 9.5, tried on a 10 and it was too tight, 10.5 is just right. From the very first moment these shoes felt GREAT on my foot. I usually use that as a gauge for buying running shoes. As a 43 year old who has sustained many injuries over the years, I like softer running shoes. These are the best of both worlds, IMO, because the boost sole provides a very soft landing (I do all my runs on pavement/concrete) but the shoes still have plenty of "pop" for when you up the tempo. At 10mm, the heel-to-toe drop is a bit higher than I prefer (I like 6mm or 8mm) but I don't scrape my heels in these shoes because of the way the heel is shaped, there is a slitght "upturn" to it that works with my midfoot stride. I have also learned that it is not all about static drop. Drop is really dynamic, especially if you are a midfoot to light heel striker like me. A soft heel, which this shoe has, flattens out more when weighted during footstrike. I also have Saucony Triumph 12 (ISO), which are marketed as cushioned shoes. While they ARE soft, I find the Boost soles even softer and more comfortable. I think the Solar Red looks awesome. Great color. I will definitely buy another pair of these shoes. ... read more
As someone who regularly wears nikes specifically flyknit s and airmaxs I was skeptical about the boost technology . After wearing these I'm a believer , immensely more comfortable and breathable . If your hesitating to try these don't . I found I'm more comfortable in a half size smaller then my normal nike size . ... read more
Had this for 2 months now and I like it! When it rains I don't get soaking wet and that's a big plus for me. The only problem is that it runs slightly big I'm 5'7 with an average body and a M is a bit big, I recommend sizing down a bit. As far as quality goes I must say it's good, I was hit by a car while riding my bike and fell to the floor and I was surprised to see that the jacket was not ripped at all!! It was only ripped from my elbow but that was no big deal. So I'm happy with the product and I would definitely recommend it ... read more
I have had 2 pairs. The first pair I put 450 miles on them. I've run in the in just about every weather condition this winter and they held up great. On my second pair I've just ran a full marathon. I will have to agree when I first got the shoe. I thought the construction might fall apart but after all the miles on them and also being wet a good amount of the time. I would recommend these shoes to everyone that has the right foot type. ... read more

The fit and finish of these drums are excellent. They have a huge sound presence, many times i dont have to Mic the set at all. they pick up from the other mics to give a good balanced sound. My bandmates love the look and the sound.

Comments about Ludwig Centennial Zep 4-Piece Shell Pack:
This was a purchase I was anticipating for years and am very proud I can finally say I own it. phenomenal kit sounds great with stock heads but I would recommend getting some new ones that fit your style. I got mine in the natural finish and it is beautifully finished on solid north American maple with a gloss that really shines under stage lights. I would definitely use this in the studio and on stage because its gives a sound that is very original and really kicks your butt to listen to. Overall I am extremely happy with purchase and will definitely keep Ludwig in mind on future purchases. I would just like to see it made in the USA. I would also recommend getting some sort of dampening like Evans Emad or Remo powerstroke, or felt strips, muffling pillow or even just a blanket for the bass.

About the Elizabethan Period
Queen Elizabeth I reigned in England from 1558 to 1603. This period is known as the Elizabethan period.
Note: Although the term "Elizabethan" is used in some circles to mean "16th century western Europe", that's not how it's used on this website. Elizabethan means 1558-1603, England. Not 1550. Not 1610. Not France, or Spain, or Germany. Fifteen-fifty-eight. Sixteen-oh-three. England. Don't make me come over there and remind you.
About ElizabethanGeek.com
This is a website for people who are obsessed with the minutiae of Elizabethan life. That probably means you. Yes, you, the one in the pansied slops and peascod!
When I realised that my desire to put Elizabethan resources online was outstripping the ability of my personal homepage to hold those resources, I decided to register this domain and put them all together.
Most of my plans for this site involve outrageous database fantasies, few (if any) of which I actually have time to do. However, the wishlist includes:
Costume picture database – searchable by date/sex/class/artist/subject, with reviews/essays by contributors analysing the clothing in each picture
Database of Elizabethan ingredients, recipes and cookery books
Database of Elizabethan plants, based on the contents of period herbals
Database of Elizabethan worldly goods as found in wills and inventories… for instance, search by class, date, etc and find out what sort of tablewear they used
Collection of Elizabethan music in various useful formats
