Anyone can post and host an event, but all events are approved by the group organizer before showing up for other group members. Events must be:
FREE! No catches. Free movie night at Brewvies, yes. Dinner where everyone splits the bill, no. We'll find plenty of events that cost nothing to attend.
Centered on building a COMMUNITY and meeting FRIENDS. This means that a host should be present for MOST events. If you post the event, you are the host. The host must give specific directions for where to meet, when and how to find each other. Occasionally, I'll post an event as FYI only if I can't host. This group is not here as a mailing list for corporate events. Any events that are clearly posted solely for advertising purposes will be immediately removed.
FUN! The best part of Meetup is the fun you will have meeting awesome new people while trying out fun new activities. Have a blast! Take photos and post them! Review your events so we know what you like and what you want more of.
Simply join the group on meetup and start attending events! Once you've signed up, take that scary first step- RSVP to an event and then show up. From there it's easy- the members of this group are a welcoming bunch. If you find that you're unable to make it to an event you'd planned on, it's no big deal. Just update your RSVP and we won't hold it against you!
On the day of the event, we'll typically post important details on how to meet in the comments section of the event page. You can also use the comments section to ask questions about the event at any time.
Organizer note: I lead Urban Hikes each Tuesday for the Utah Outdoors group, so I decided to post those events for our group as well. Come on and give it a try... it's great fun and you'll always have someone new to meet.
Hope that gives you enough to go on! We'd love to see you at our next event.

Foster alum Anna Demyanik reflects on her experience preparing to study abroad in the Netherlands.
Tag Archives: Europe
Study Abroad: Personal Transformation
Foster alum Benjamin Wood participated in the UW Exchange program in Germany in 2007. This is his personal testimony.
Studying abroad in Germany in the spring of 2007 stands out as the most defining and life-transforming period that I have experienced during my time at the University of Washington. From this experience I learned a lot about myself and about the people and cultures that I came in contact with. The lessons and life experiences that occurred during that time have played a pivotal role in making me into who I have become. Three specific areas that I grew in, and that I believe are of key importance for anyone who desires to achieve success in business or in any realm of life, were my interpersonal skills, my confidence and my problem-solving ability.
Regardless of one's career goals, possessing strong interpersonal skills are essential to success in business and even happiness in life. Whether it involves communicating to co-workers or customers in the workplace or building relationships with people outside of work, being able to relate to others, understand their perspectives, and communicate one's ideas is essential to successful interactions. Studying abroad provided me with the opportunity to meet other people from cultures that I had no previous interactions with and forced me to learn to adapt to these cultures and personalities. While in Germany I became good friends with students from all over the world, ranging from England, to Russia, to Palestine and Israel. Living in such a diverse environment changed the way I interacted with people and made me a much more effective communicator.
Probably the single greatest area of transformation in my life while studying abroad concerns how much confidence I gained from the experience. Living on my own in a foreign country, with no safety-net of people around me to help me make decisions forced me make tough choices and then live with whatever happened. Even when things did not turn out the way I would have hoped, this process taught me so much about myself and about what I truly value. Through this experience I became much more confident in myself and, consequently, much more confident in the way I interact with others and make every day decisions.
Somewhat as a result of the other two areas, my ability to problem-solve and look at issues from different angles increased dramatically. By interacting with people from all over the world I received fresh perspectives every day on how problems can be approached and solutions can be discovered. Furthermore, because I was living on my own, I had the opportunity to frequently practice the new problem solving methods that I observed. Overall, I became much more adept at facing complex problems and making confident decisions based on whatever information was available.
Going abroad has given me skills that I will carry with me and build upon for the rest of my life. Studying abroad, more than any other factor in college, has set me up for future success in business and in life. Not only that, but in addition to the great skills it gave me, studying abroad has provided me with an amazing global network of friends and future business associates who I continue to remain in contact with and visit. These relationships alone made the whole experience incredibly rewarding and worthwhile.
Smartest College Decision
This post was written by Rebecca Ridenour detailing her 2007 EUSA London Internship
When I applied for EUSA's study abroad program, I did it on a whim. One of my friends and I had toyed with the idea of doing internships in London through the EUSA program, and the day before our applications were due, we said, 'were we going to do that?' I set out working on a CV, an essay, and various other parts of the application that night. I thought, well I'll turn it in if I get it done. I was a sophomore at the UW applying to the Foster School. I was a fairly confident person but not when it came to getting into the business school, picking a concentration, or deciding where I wanted my career to go.
The experience and confidence gained by participating in the EUSA internship program was life changing. I spent a summer in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, working on a multi-million dollar project at Barclays Wealth and being truly responsible for myself.
I feel like I "grew up" in a professional, mature sense. I learned so much about myself, my abilities, my interests, and really what I am capable of.
I returned to UW last fall confident in myself, the concentration I was picking, and my ability to start an exciting career in finance after graduation. When I look back at the personal development that took place in a matter of months, I am astonished. Interning abroad in London was a blast, and one of the smartest things I've done in college.

The mitochondrial genomes of Ancylostoma caninum and Bunostomum phlebotomum – two hookworms of animal health and zoonotic importance
1 Department of Veterinary Science, The University of Melbourne, 250 Princes Highway, Werribee, Victoria 3030, Australia
2 Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK
3 Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X04, 0110 Onderstepoort, South Africa
BMC Genomics 2009, 10:79 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-79Published: 11 February 2009
Hookworms are blood-feeding nematodes that parasitize the small intestines of many mammals, including humans and cattle. These nematodes are of major socioeconomic importance and cause disease, mainly as a consequence of anaemia (particularly in children or young animals), resulting in impaired development and sometimes deaths. Studying genetic variability within and among hookworm populations is central to addressing epidemiological and ecological questions, thus assisting in the control of hookworm disease. Mitochondrial (mt) genes are known to provide useful population markers for hookworms, but mt genome sequence data are scant.
The present study characterizes the complete mt genomes of two species of hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum (from dogs) and Bunostomum phlebotomum (from cattle), each sequenced (by 454 technology or primer-walking), following long-PCR amplification from genomic DNA (~20–40 ng) isolated from individual adult worms. These mt genomes were 13717 bp and 13790 bp in size, respectively, and each contained 12 protein coding, 22 transfer RNA and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, typical for other secernentean nematodes. In addition, phylogenetic analysis (by Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood) of concatenated mt protein sequence data sets for 12 nematodes (including Ancylostoma caninum and Bunostomum phlebotomum), representing the Ascaridida, Spirurida and Strongylida, was conducted. The analysis yielded maximum statistical support for the formation of monophyletic clades for each recognized nematode order assessed, except for the Rhabditida.
The mt genomes characterized herein represent a rich source of population genetic markers for epidemiological and ecological studies. The strong statistical support for the construction of phylogenetic clades and consistency between the two different tree-building methods employed indicate the value of using whole mt genome data sets for systematic studies of nematodes. The grouping of the Spirurida and Ascaridida to the exclusion of the Strongylida was not supported in the present analysis, a finding which conflicts with the current evolutionary hypothesis for the Nematoda based on nuclear ribosomal gene data.

Favorite thing:
Love Harry Potter and on a recent trip to Florida my niece took me to Diagon Alley. Iam a senior citizen and found the one day pass much too expensive. I am on a fixed income. I stayed with family and was surprised there was no senior citizen discount. I did enjoy my stay, but due to time and lack of physical strength I found it much too expensive and I cannot recommend it for seniors. If I had the time and strength to visit many of the venues, I would have a different opinion. Right now, the cost is stuck in my craw.
Fondest memory: Fire breathing dragon
Favorite thing: You are by far better off going for two days than just one if you can - you will get all kinds of coupons and discounts with a 2 day pass that you can't get with just one day. Now for the meal deal - are you okay eating and drinking at the specified eateries? Because you will be limited to those. If you are I would say go for it - it's a great deal, don't forget that your drinks are an extra - what is it - $8.99 or something like that for the whole day! Now that's a deal - but you're going to have to carry your cup. However, if you want to eat somewhere special - ummmm not so much. The food prices are really pretty reasonable throughout the park - really. Remember, you can't eat at McDonalds for $20 a day for 3 meals. Re: Souvs - take a peek on line before you go and see what the souvs are there that you might want, (photo prices are stiff, bring your own camera) but you're still going to want to get them and you CAN order them after you leave the park!! It's up to you, you can spend a fortune, but you DON'T have to really, really. Just have a ball! There is so much to see and do. You're gonna love it.
Favorite thing:
CityWalk is one of the best entertainment options. Built to compete with Downtown Disney in the 'nightlife arena.
Disney seems to be for families while Universal caters to everybody else. The attractions in CityWalk are billed by Universal as 'entertainment definitely more for adults. Universal Studios substituted Mickey Mouse with Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet. LOL
CityWalk itself doesn't have an entrance fee, but the individual clubs have a cover. If you're only going to stay for one drink, go to CityWalk.
1-Bob Marley - This restaurant and nightclub is an authentic replica of Marley's home in Kingston, Jamaica.
21 and Over after 10:00 p.m.
Open 5:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.
$4.25 between 7pm and 2 am ...other times are free
2-CityJazz-Even if you're not a jazz aficionado, you'll appreciate CityJazz. The food is terrific. For more information call 407-224-2189.
daily 7:30 p.m. - 2 a.m.
3-Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville-It's a great place to have a cheeseburger in paradise. three bars, outside patio and balcony seating.
11 a.m. - 2 a.m.
Favorite thing:
Well I don't see how, but kids these days, well any way thiers lots more to orlando that disney world! Like Unisverial Studios which as a bit more thrilling attractions for thrillseakers at heart I my self like extreme rollercoasters too! so if your'e teenager is giving you a crossed look about a family trip to orlando, thorw this idea at them, O and da secretly plan a one day detour to disney for you! =)
Fondest memory: My fondiest memories of orlando are thoose in which i spend thier with my grandparents. so if you have grand kids of your'e own I recoment a special trip with just Jr. Ma & Pa!
Favorite thing: I had an afternoon to kill in Orlando so I went to see "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" at the Universal Studios Cineplex. There are about 47 separate screening rooms here, and it's easy to get lost walking around, but it seemed to be a well-run complex. I like that you can purchase your tickets with a credit card at vending machines in the plaza outside the theater.
Favorite thing:
In the Universal Studios Theme Park, there are some attractions that have a single riders line. The people in this line are used to fill up the gaps, as most parties don't like to be split up.
When we visited the Universal Studios, we decided to take all singke riders lines where possible (being a group of 6). We managed to see ALL attractions in the Studios in one day without any stress and even without having to use the express pass.
maybe not an option if you are here with your family, but with a group of friends, this is the way to go.
Favorite thing:
The umbrella title for Universal's Florida theme park and resort complex, Universal Studios Escape now covers the original Universal Studios park the Island of Adveture opened 1999,City Walk and a growing portfolio of on-site hotels.
Though Disney has the higher profile, Universal is a clear winner in the eyes of many visitors to Orlando.
Both the Universal parks are strong on rides and ideally suited to teen and adults visitors in search of serious thrills and fun.
Fondest memory: Universal Studios Florida
A movie oriented theme park grafted onto a working film and television production facility.
Universal Studios invites quest to ride the movies on a 444-acre site divided into six themed districts, coverign the Deco and palm tress of Hollywood, to Fisherman's Wharf meets New Englad San Fransisco/Amity.
Open daily, admission expensive.
1000 Universal Studios Plaza I-4 exit29 or 30-B.
Fondest memory: I have a lot of fond memories here because I have family here. In 1997 I went to Universal Studios for the first time. I've been back 4 times since. You have to check out Halloween Horror Nights. It's way cool!
Favorite thing: Visit Universal Studios, when I was there the Jaws ride was actually up and running, it had been shut down for quiet a while, however half way through the ride it broke down and we were stuck in the middle of the lake unable to get off the boat due to high voltage cables and machinery in the water. The guide on the boat had a great sense of humour and after about half an hour of telling us we will soon be on our way again, he sat down with the microphones and said 'well it looks like we will be here for some time, so tell me about yourselves, so we can all get to know each other a little better as we have to sleep together here' the whole boat collapsed laughing. The Blues Brothers show is not to be missed. Since my visit, Universal Studios have built an additional section of rides.
Favorite thing: This is corporate America's view of what urban life should be like! Many of your favorite international chains are here - as well as your favorite cartoon characters!
Favorite thing: I don't really know where to put this one but I had a grand time sampling the wigs and hats in a hat store in front of Terminator 3-D in Universal Studios...

Out of fear, interest, observation or education, throngs of gun enthusiasts streamed into the Dulles Expo Center on Sunday for the final day of the Nation's Gun Show, putting to rest any remaining doubt that the issue of firearms control — no matter which side of the argument — is at the forefront of the nation's collective concern.
Gone were the protesters shouting down the National Rifle Association a couple days earlier, as well as the wraparound lines to enter the sprawling exhibit hall in Chantilly, but attendees packed themselves in among tables weighed down by ammunition, pistols, rifles and semi-automatic weapons.
"Friday was the busiest show we've ever had, and it was a five-hour day," said Jerry Cochran of Trader Jerry's, a Virginia-based gun dealer. "We were selling at a rate of 1.8 guns a minute."
Mr. Cochran, 56, said the driving force behind the record-breaking sales was the fear of any sort of ban on weapons.
Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people, all but six of them young children, were killed with a semi-automatic weapon by 20-year-old man, a number of state and federal leaders have suggested a range of potential solutions. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, wants to introduce a ban on certain semi-automatic weapons, and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, has suggested that maybe school officials should be allowed to carry weapons.
The mindset, Mr. Cochran said, is, "Oh, my gosh, I need to protect myself with what I want, and I won't be able to get that."
Since the Sandy Hook shootings in mid-December, the issues of gun control, gun violence and treatment for mental health problems have been forced into the limelight and, in some cases, polarized Americans on the subject of license to carry.
At the expo, however, hundreds of people signed postcards addressed to various state and federal representatives, with messages stating "No More Gun Control!" and "Arm School Officials" created by the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
Sporting a purple Baltimore Ravens jersey, Nolan Williams, 45, said he came to the gun show because he was considering purchasing another gun. The Columbia, Md., resident said he wouldn't be one of the many customers walking out with a purchase because he would have to wait until his gun is shipped to an authorized dealer in Maryland, where he could then pick it up.
"I kind of know what I want, but life is about having a budget," Mr. Williams said. But with talk of gun control and potential bans in the news, he said "it's something to consider."
Perched on a stool behind a glass case filled with pistols, a Gainesville, Va.-based gun dealer named Debbie, who asked that her last name not be used, said weekend sales volume was the best her company had seen.
"We did more business the first night than we do in a whole weekend," she said. "People were literally running down the aisles on Friday."
Debbie said some gun buyers talked about the Newtown shootings, but many expressed concern about how people "don't know what's going to happen with the ban."
Perusing Trader Jerry's 9 mm pistols with a friend, Britney Littleton, 26, said she had been to gun shows before, but her trip to the Dulles show was the first time she had gone with the intent to buy.
The Arlington woman said she was in the market for a gun for "personal protection" and had looked at a pistol several weeks ago after taking a concealed-carry course.

IT was not till July 7 that preparations could be made for mounting a 4-inch naval gun, and a party was sent out to the East Arsenal to get timber, while the 12-pounder was used to shell the city. In return the Chinese Krupp guns made excellent practice upon the Tientsin Settlement, and knocked houses about very successfully. The shells were mostly directed upon the various barracks, an undeniable evidence that the Chinese had spies in the Settlement who kept them well informed of what the foreigners were doing.
Captain S. Bayly, R.N., of the Aurora, was elected Provost Marshal, with Lieutenant Leonard, of the United States Marines, as Deputy. A strict injunction was posted that all suspicious characters should be made prisoners.
Midshipman Esdale died from his wounds.
On July 8 the Chinese shelled the 12-pounder guns heavily, in the hope of silencing them, and also endeavoured to blow up the gasworks.

With debt ceiling negotiations apparently dead in the water and the August 2nd deadline fast approaching, those hoping to prevent the potentially devastating consequences of a default have started to look for alternative ways to solve what has become an entrenched partisan battle. So far, the only answers emerging seem to present equally messy constitutional issues.
The current borrowing limit is a result of a 1939 act (The Second Liberty Bond Act) designed to give Treasury more flexibility to manage the country's finances. Conservatives argue that should the government run out of cash, which is what would happen come August 2nd with no deal, then the Treasury Department can simply prioritize payments and have introduced legislation that clarifies that debt payments be at the top of that priority. In support of this conclusion they cite a 1985 GAO report that "tentatively" suggests Treasury has that power.
These Republicans, like Sen. Pat Toomey (PA) hope this "re-prioritization" can do the less-politically feasible job such as cutting of Social Security and Medicare benefits, ideas a majority of voters squarely oppose but hard-right Republicans adore.
Thank goodness for the 14th Amendment.
Section 4 of the 14th Amendment makes it clear that the United States' public debt "shall not be questioned," meaning that public debt (in the form of such things as military pay, veterans benefits and IRS refunds) is guaranteed and insulated from such political hostage-taking. The legislative history of the Amendment reinforces this clear read. The sponsor of the 14th Amendment, Benjamin Wade, was unequivocal that the goal was to remove threats of default on federal debts from partisan bickering.
Reconstructionists worried Southern Democrats would use any future congressional majorities to default on obligations they disliked politically (like slave reparations, for example), so they took, in some measure, federal obligations outside of the scope of congressional authority. More simply, the 14th Amendment was written, and passed, to guard against the exact same thing Congressional Republicans are doing now.
While the 14th Amendment is pretty clear that a forced default could be avoided by the executive branch stepping in and simply ignoring the limit, that answer raises a sticky separation of powers issue since the executive is also obligated to make sure the laws are faithfully executed, including the 1939 act setting the debt limit.
Does the 14th Amendment authorize the Obama administration to ignore the 1939 act and if so, will they invoke such power? The answer to the first question seems to be likely yes, while the second is much murkier. Should they take such a position it is all but guaranteed the issue will find its way to the Supreme Court, an outcome neither the administration nor Congressional Republicans, despite their posturing, likely want.

Not all Republicans agreed with Bush, first of all.
Secondly, to insist on allowing Bush's mistakes in raising the debt ceiling as an excuse to do the same is sand-box behavior. "He got to do it, so I should too!"
While I do not like to see anyone lose their job "unfairly" (as my father did during an economic downturn that combined with a youth-oriented age-discrimination era in our past), but every government job has, or should have, a sunset if it is not serving its original purpose as it should, if the costs outweigh the benefits. But the mentality is different for conservatives: they don't expect jobs to be provided, they just move forward an meet the challenge for survival, and have usually put some money aside to make the transition. They don't hang onto a lifestyle they can't afford, hoping someone will save them. They don't want the government to be in debt, wasting tax dollars on interest, so they'll suck it up and move on. Just keep the economy healthy by running the government in the black, so that you can do the same work on half the taxes; do that and there will be new jobs to replace the old ones as current and new entrepreneurs sense that it is safe to grow business.

Thank you!
Bush raised the debt ceiling 7 times in 8 years. Two sets of standards. One for Republicans and one, (none), for Democrats.
John H--It was Bush and Cheney, with their warlike agendas, that got this country into so much trouble in the first place. Let us not forget that, while Bush was spending all that money on his wars, he was also giving tax breaks to his rich buddies. Let us also not forget that he was not really elected to his first term; he was appointed by the Supreme Court. It was later proven that Gore really won that election.
We are dealing with economic predators so we do need some protectionism. Our corporations are exactly that.
We outlawed slavery and abusive labor practices here, but we aloe businesses to go offshore to hire (virtual) slaves in China for 50c/hr. If slavery is wrong, its wrong everywhere, to allow (virtual) slave produced good to be sold here is morally wrong. Its also economically stupid.
Perhaps some of our wages do need to come down, but lets start with the CEOs. This nation has worshiped Free Trade and corporate profits way too long. Its time to start considering our working class. Despite the low cost labor, prices certainly have not come down so We the people really have not benefitted for this cheap labor. Free Trade needs a major re-think.
John H.; Obama was a senator BEFORE Bush and the GOP put the world into recession in 2008. The economy was hot and they just wanted to finance wars without raising taxes.
Kris Y.; You cannot seriously expect someone living in the US to work for the same wage as someone living in Communist China! Do American workers get free housing? Free food vouchers? Free university education? Free healthcare? Etc, etc. Thousands of Chinese workers die at their jobs every year due to low standards, polluted environments and slave like conditions. The Chinese government has been taking steps in the last few years to prepare for and prevent a major social meltdown over there.
The "global economy" is coming to an end because too few people profit from it. The price of oil and energy will make transporting cheap products too expensive. Working for a starvation wage will force people to look for alternatives.
Check into the "Transitions Towns" movement. It's where the thinking world is headed.
Why is it do you suppose that the same Republicans, that voted for the past 30 years to raise the debt limit are willing to sacrifice their re-election, and the good name of this country world-wide? I'll give you a clue, His JOB and INTENT is to see it that This President does not serve a second term. Why do you think there are so many Republicans running for President? Because it takes that many to talk against what Obama has already accomplished.
Unlike the Fed budget which concerns future expenses,the Public debt is like the electric bill which is for past use,and if that bill isn't payed by the specific date the electricity is disconnected. Likewise if the debt limit isn't increased on time it'll be economic lights out!
I think a sad fact that no one really wants to admit is that unless we rely on protectionism and artificially increasing the costs to offshore labor (which has many unpleasant consequences) many things in the US are going to need to change. One obvious one is that precedence aside there is no reason for me to make $50/hr to do the same job that someone in China can do for $10/hr. In the last decade labor prices in the developing world have come up significantly, but if we really want to see more of these jobs come back to the US some of our wages are going to need to come down.
This isn't pleasant, but without huge government intervention it is just an economic fact that can't be ignored.

Audubon is the most effective environmental organization in Florida with over 110 years of conservation work. Whenever I read about a success in the media or a story about collaboration, Audubon seems to be involved.
As an employee of a state agency, they are often the ONLY environmental organization to do anything productive rather than posturing just to benefit fundraising.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Successful advocacy that looks for win-win solutions. An attitude where non- environmentalists are not considered bad guys.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Try to gain more exposure to the behind-the-scenes work that they do.

Would you mind UHURA being promoted to BIG THREE status in next movie?

Re: Would you mind UHURA being promoted to BIG THREE status in next mo
^ The cast of "The Cage" was somewhat better balanced than the eventual TOS cast was. Two of six main cast members were female (Pike,
, Spock,
, Tyler, Boyce), and one of those was the first officer and helmsman. The role of the yeoman was also much more active than that eventually assumed by Rand and a rotating cast.
The initial broadcast version of the original series was also slightly better - two of six credited stars and co-stars were still female (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott,
), but the roles of the female cast members were greatly reduced, and their personalities were a good deal more emotional and less businesslike.
The show became much more unbalanced later, with the elevation of Sulu, departure of Rand, and introduction of Chekov. This is, unfortunately, the cast balance inherited by the new films - only one of seven credited stars is female.
I would like to see this imbalance addressed somehow (Colt or a female chief of security might fit in nicely; Rand and the later yeoman would be much too young ten years earlier), but I hope Uhura's screen time declines. She was the only major character I disliked in the movie (except Nero).
I found the degree to which she was emotive and emotionally-driven off-putting. Compare her with a male character in the film - Sulu, Chekov, Pike - and the difference is striking. Even the contrast with the female characters of 1964 ("The Cage") is notable. Observe both Number One and Colt in
"The Menagerie"
. They seem similar in demeanor to the male officers - intelligent before emotional, much more like real-life female officers. (Note that Colt is intellectually-driven despite her apparent "very strong female drives".)
I'd hope to see someone more along these lines, or like one of the female leads from the post-TNG series, given a major role (Number One, somehow?), especially as an alternative to a greater focus on Uhura.
Ad majorem futuri gloriam.

Orbital are an electronic music duo consisting of brothers Phil Hartnoll and Paul Hartnoll formed in Sevenoaks, Kent, England whose career originally lasted from 1989 until 2004. Orbital took their name from Greater London's orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene and party network in the South East during the early days of acid house. One of the biggest names in British electronica during the 1990s, Orbital were both critically and commercially successful, being particularly known for an element of live improvisation during their shows, a rarity with techno acts.

Your SelectionClear All
I've heard a lot of hype about boost and finally decided on to try these shoes. I was just looking for something comfortable and casual and these shoes looked pretty nice. Pure boost totally lives up to the hype. They are so comfortable and unbelievably light weight. You feel like you have a spring in your step and I like to stand and shift my weight just to feel that spongy cushion. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 and the 7.5 fit perfectly, which worked out luckily since they were sold out of 8! The only complaint I have is that the color is not exactly as pictured. I ordered the all black with what looks like gum colored soles(which i love and think looks super clean)but in person the bottom looks like a neon orange! I seriously considered returning at first because it was so deceptive, but once I put them on, I fell in love. ... read more
I bought my pair of Ultra Boost back in April and now have over 300 miles on them. The shoes have far exceed expectations. I have been running exclusively in adidas boost products for over two years now. When these were coming out for release I was a little bit skeptical mainly due to the price. I got to run a couple of test miles in a pair of ultras and quickly realized it was the real deal shoe. The upper knit is super comfortable and makes for a breathable design on any run. The extra boost material give a comfortable landing on every step. One thing with a boost product is that you can run in the shoe day after day without reduction in the performance of the midsole. The rubber flex sole is a draw back but after three hundred miles the sole has seen a reduction in the rubber knobs but the sole is still in tact. I am thinking that I can get to 800 miles on these shoes. Excited to see what new colors will be coming in 2016. Thanks adidas!!! ... read more
I now have 3 pairs of the ultra booat and can't imagine another shoe as comfy as these. I only wear Adidas but the ultra boost are by far the best. Can't get a more comfortable and true to size shoe out there! Defenitly worth the price! Way to go Adidas! ... read more
I am not an athletic person, I do try to keep fit. These are my first Boost series shoes and I am never going back to anything else. The fit is fantastic, the grip on the road perfect, the feedback you get on your sole is surprising. ... read more
I've taken these shoes with me on a 3-week vacation and have been using them running and city walking. So far they've performed perfectly. Great, true fit, very comfortable, and they really do keep my feet nice and cool. Thoroughly enjoying them after a couple weeks of heavy use. ... read more
Really in love with the design and color scheme. These are really comfortable and have a certain mystique because it looks great for casual or for running purposes. I am starting to dig the boost technology. Hire me Adidas? Would love to work at adidas ... read more
I run two marathons per year, one in the spring and one in the fall each year. My shoe is the adios. That shoe was moved to boost technology. I purchased my first pair in early 2014, orange and silver, started experiencing slight knee discomfort after my first run, but I thought it was a running technique issue. I raced one marathon in those shoes. Purchased a second, same issue although not as bad. My current pair, purchased in Feb 2015, have caused even more knee discomfort. I wish there was an adios option without boost technology. Otherwise, I'm afraid I am going to move to another shoe maker. I would like to avoid because all my running apparel (running shorts, short and long-sleeve running shirts, socks, pants, jackets, gloves, beanies) are also adidas. ... read more
My son started wearing these in early April 2015 and has averaged running about 25 to 30 miles a week since then. After six months the tread wear is pretty even but it is time to replace them. The continental tread is pretty tough and no issues with the upper portion. He races in spikes though. My brother-in-law who is a college cross country coach recommends getting two pairs of training shoes to alternate. Pretty expensive when I have 4 boys and 2 are already involved in XC. However, injuries could prove more expensive. ... read more
I absolutely love these shoes and have now purchased in three colors. I have low arches and they provide me the stability I need to do all my workouts. I am not a runner, but I do a lot of weight training and high impact workouts. I find these to be light weight, very supportive and true to size. I also like the color selections, although the pink is much brighter in person and not to my taste. ... read more
I use them to referee soccer games. I have used them on wet & dry field turf, also on dry grass. If you are looking for a minimalist upper with a flexible sole, these are great. They are cushy when up on your toes sprinting and cushy for heel strikes. I've put about 60 miles on them with no discernible wear and less knee pain then my previous Nike shoes. Would love to see the "boost" used in a Samba-like shoe to play soccer in. ... read more
The shoes are great they fit perfectly and the style is flawless. I don't like how on my right shoe i can be standing, and no matter how I tie, adjust of modify my foot in the shoe, my foot always shifts and it becomes a bit uncomfortable. but other than that, it is a pretty amazing shoe. Great feel and resistance ... read more
I have been waiting for a shoe like this, but was not going to pay full price for them, the original price was too much for me. I walk very hard and can wear down shoe very easily and they become very comfortable..... these shoes make me feel like my feet are not really touching the ground. To me it's not like your feet actually "spring" from the ground but more like a barrier from the ground. The material is awesome, it's not leather but not super soft mesh.... it's the right amount of hold and give. It's very breathable and I can wear thick or thin socks. You can really feel your calf muscles working while walking and running.. it's great. I had to purchase a 1/2 size smaller than my normal size because of personal fit. I like my shoes untied and a very snug fit. I've only had them a few weeks and really want to see how they do in different weather environment #I've heard they are slippery when wet# and how well they hold up. I would by more pairs if I could fine more regular colors in my size and on sale. The colors are outrageous and the retail price is tooooo high. I am also giving thought to trying the full blade shoes.. I would recommend to walkers and runners ... read more
Runners' World got it right when they named the Supernova Glide Boost 6 as editors pick last year!! The Glide 7 just continues the tradition!! Great shoe of all my workouts, including long runs, tempo sessions and hill reps! Mile after mile, they just keeps propelling my feet forward!! ... read more
When I first threw the shoe on it was a little tight on my forefoot but I have fat feet so I wasn't too worried about it. Once I was on the trails I didn't notice the width at all. I took the Raven out to the Appalachian Trail in North Georgia and the shoes performed beautifully! Even during a heavy rainstorm I never doubted my foot placement. There was one section of the trail where I had to cross a large, open, expense of off-camber rock and the shoe didn't slip at all. Definitely worth a go in this bad boy. I don't know if anyone reading this has run in other boosted shoes but it almost felt like having the cushion of an Ultra Boost in the heel and the responsiveness of the Boston Boost in the forefoot... sorry I'm kind of a running geek. ... read more
I think these are great running trainers for winter, or even just to move around. The sole is incredibly soft and you feel like you are walking on wool. I have worn them in this relatively warm weather and it might keep you feet a bit too warm but for winter time they are perfect. ... read more
These running shoes r the best that ive ever had so far. First of all want to admit that it runs larger, cuz i usually wear us 7 and i ordered 6 and it fits perfectly. I was not sure aboit getting these shoes, but than i thought lemme give a try, it has free shipping/return so why not)) it came in two days (that was pretty quick) and when i tried them on it felt comfortable. But i was wondering how comfortable it would be when running, so i ran on treadmill one mile and i was amazed. First of all its lightweight , second of all those springblades kind of make u run faster, when u put the heel on the ground it just pushes it back and makes u kind of jump, which prolly makes u run faster. Im running at least 8-10 miles every single day, so i was thinking what if they wear out quickly, or the blades get broken and so on)) im using it 1 month already and it looks exactly the same as i recieved. Im very happy with the purchase, thank you! ... read more
Great pair of trainers. As someone who has flat feet I have been buying the supernova sequence for years as they are the best shoes at supporting my almost non existent arches. Although these seem to be harder at first, when you start wearing them in there is a definite boost to the spring in your step and they are very comfortable trainers. Highly recommended. ... read more
My title pretty much sums it up. First, the good: This has to be one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Appearance is great; Fit is great (I wear 9.5, but went with a half size up and don't regret it). The "sock-like" weave fit is so comfortable, and the boost material really seems second to none. Here's the MAJOR problem: the outer most sole wears faster than any other shoe I've ever owned. I'm generally a fast walker and occasional light jogger. The "nubs" are now completely gone and starting to cause very slippery conditions when wet or on slick surfaces, and I've only had these shoes about 6 months. For the life of me, I wanted to give this shoe a 5-star rating, but for $180, you would think "the greatest running shoe ever" would put a quality and revolutionary outer sole that would last? Why not use your Continental rubber soles like on other Adidas shoes? So disappointed, Adidas. ... read more
I am a basketball official, have been for 40 years now. Always looking for the next best thing to help get me up and down the court. Have learned that the lighter the shoe the less I have to carry with me each and every step. That translates into better movement and less fatigue so I can do a better job adjusting to make sure I have the best look possible and get where I need to be to see the entire play each and every time. I work a lot of games in the local high school and youth development leagues around Portland and Vancouver each season. I look to these shoes to get me through the riggers of the game I love. Have yet to actually try them out and will update this at a later time as the new season is coming. ... read more
I usually wear other brands and recently, I have been appreciating the models from Adidas this year like the tubular and espically the pure boost 2. I love this shoe for casual wear and I constantly get compliments on these. Let's start off with the cushioning. The boost midsole is very soft and shock absorbent yet still retains its shape throughout every step. There is no insole so you are on top of the boost with opened areas or pods of boosting in the heel and midfoot. I wish the pure boost 3 would have opened areas or pods in the forefoot. Next is the upper, durability, and outsole. The outsole is a soft rubber yet I do not see any signs of damage. The boost is soft but fairly durable, I would just be cautious with it. I have worn these four times a week for a month and I see no damage, except for stains. Buy a bleaching pen and bleach the stains on the boost in order to keep them nice and clean for a year. The upper is soft and harder in the heel or added support. The toecap of the pure boost one was removed, which is kind of disappointing. All in all, it's more comfortable than a roshe, which is amazing. It will hold up for a year and you'll love this product! ... read more
These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They do fit a little tight but because of the knit material making it more of a sock feel. I'd recommend going a half size up for more room but overall these shoes are amazing and very stylish as well. ... read more
This shoes are great for running and some trail hiking. After some miles of break-ins they seem to conformed with your feet as you use them everyday. Very light and flexible to my feet. Maybe if Adidas will use some real leather they will look great and add more value. ... read more
When I first received the shoes, I was a bit disappointed because I wasn't sure if the material quality looks as good as the picture. I kept them still because I really needed a new pair of shoes. THEY RUN SMALL - I have a pair of adidas that were sz8 and they are big on me so I ordered 7.5 for this pair but they are really small!!! I had to make a return and purchased half size bigger. Even sz8 was a bit tight at the beginning but after just wearing them 3 times, they are now perfect! They look SO GOOD with my outfits and they are very comfortable - I especially like that they do not have laces that makes stretching really easy and nice!!! The more I wear them, I love them more!!! ... read more
I was looking for new shoes for general work outs, local dry weather trail walking and casual wear. I saw the Kanadia TR7 in numerous colours and then these on offer so I grabbed a pair. These have worked out to be such quality and an amazing bargain. Straight from the box I got no chafing or blisters. I get hot feet and the ventilation on these is amazing. The grip on all surfaces encountered so far has been brilliant. They are also so lightweight it's unreal but so far the soles are more than tough enough from the off reading. I have recommended these to some friends. Well chuffed. ... read more
A big fan of how the shoe looks and it gets its fair share of compliments (I wear it casually). It's super light, provides fairly good support, and the mesh cover definitely keeps things cool. A few critiques: The insole moving around is a problem for the first few days but it settles in. A week later, not a problem when putting it on but the insole does still pop when taking the shoe off. I've also found that the lower edge of the shoe (white and red) picks up scuffs pretty easy. They wipe off but kind of annoying. None of this would scare me away from purchasing again. ... read more

Kerala is a beautiful state with an excellent landscape of palm-lined beaches, thick jungles, plantation-covered hills, and enthralling rivers and lakes.

The Open Country A20 from Toyo is used as original equipment on some pickups and
sport utility vehicles, as well as being available as a replacement tire. It's a tire that is designed to provide
all-season traction and a smooth, comfortable ride on the highway.
An all-season tread compound and symmetric tread pattern combine with independent
shoulder blocks to provide increased dry and wet traction. The tire's footprint adds stability and improved
steering responsive at higher speeds.
Four circumferential grooves around the tread enhance wet handling performance and
lower the risk of hydroplaning through standing water. The tire is designed to provide traction in light snow, but
you can find out more about this below in our overall thoughts.
Inside the tire you will find a steel belted construction for added strength and
durability. A polyester cord body enhances ride comfort and gives the tire a more quiet ride. Toyo offers the A20
in 17-19 inch sizes.
Overall Thoughts
Toyo has some very good tires in their tire lineup, but the A20 is not one of them
in our opinion. Based on other driver reviews and ratings we are not alone in our conclusion. While this model does
provide adequate dry and wet traction, as well as a smooth and comfortable ride for a highway SUV tire, the
downsides far outweigh the upsides.
A shorter tread life is a serious issue with this tire, and with its treadwear
rating of 300, it can be expected. We've heard many drivers reporting of getting only 15,000-25,000 miles out of
the tread, which is unacceptable in anyone's book. Beyond that, winter traction is another big problem with the
A20. Some have went as far as to say it's like trying to drive on skis. While that may be a little extreme, the
traction on snow and ice is very poor.
Overall, if a Toyo tire is what you are looking for then one like the Open Country
H/T would be a better choice. Other tires that you might want to look at would be the Michelin LTX M/S2 or
BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A among others.
What Vehicles Will The Toyo A20 Fit?
Fits these vehicles and many others:
Tire Sizes
Price Range
Toyo Open Country A20 prices range from approximately $159 and up. You may also
find occasional rebates, discount prices, coupons and special offers on this tire.

Toyo provides a limited tread warranty on the A20. Tire uniformity is guaranteed
for the first 1/32 inch of wear. Materials and workmanship are warranted for 5-years and include free tire
replacement during the first 25% of wear. A prorated amount is given for the remaining time period or down to the
final 2/32 inch of tread depth.

England facts
Did you know? Chapel Street in Penzance is home to many tales of the past including the first announcement of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar from the minstrel's gallery in the Union Hotel. Local fishermen had learnt of the fact from the ship hurrying to Falmouth to bring the news officially to Britain. The house at no. 25 Chapel Street was home to Maria Branwell before she moved to Yorkshire , married the Reverend Patrick Bronte and became mother to the famous Bronte family. She never lost her love of Cornwall, as she lay on her death bed she had the maid prop her up so she could watch the maid clear and prepare the grate as she did it the same way as it was done all those years ago, the Cornish way.Add Fact

Denver Nuggets Asian Handicap -3.50 in ordinary time at odds 2.10
- Win rate in competition 49.69 %
Last settled tips
- Tips in competition 638
- Yield in competition -11.31 %
The Denver Nuggets lost a game after 3 OT against the Celtics and before that they were on a 9 game winning streak, so the loss had to come eventually. This time they are coming to Toronto to face the Raptors who will most likely play without Bargnani who has been anything but healthy last 2 seasons. The Nuggets will also probably miss Iguadala since he has struck a cold so but the gameplan for this winning play off high aiming team does not change and i can see another clear victory for the Nuggets who are going to Toronto fully motivated and with a big big and a large bench, which is probably a liability on the Raptors' side. -3,5 for Denver. Good luck!

Al-Skeini V United Kingdom (2011) 53 EHRR 18
Collins, Pauline, Australian International Law Journal
I Introduction
Al-Skeini v United Kingdom (1) concerned the treatment of Iraqi civilians and detainees by UK soldiers during the occupation phase of the Iraq conflict. The case highlights the impact of human rights law, in particular the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (2) ('ECHR') and Human Rights Act 1998 (UK) (3) ('Human Rights Act'), on the military. The shooting of Iraqi civilians in five of the six matters before the Court was held by three tiers of the UK civil courts to be outside the ECHR's jurisdiction and therefore did not fall under the obligations of the UK in Iraq in relation to actions by its soldiers. The UK courts adopted this approach after interpreting and following the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights decision in Bankovic v Belgium. (4)
On this basis the House of Lords denied the remedy sought by the families of the Iraqi civilians shot by UK soldiers in the occupation zone. It suggested that the appropriate law was the military discipline law and international humanitarian law. Yet, of the five matters considered in R (Al-Skeini) v Secretary of State fix Defence, (5) only the sixth matter led to a court-martial heating. The other five matters had been considered by the commanding officer, who held the ultimate power to decide to take action. In each of these matters the commanding officer decided not to court-martial any of the soldiers involved. (6)
Only in regard to the sixth matter, the death of Baha Mousa while detained by UK soldiers on a UK army base in Iraq, was a court-martial hearing held. (7) No convictions were made, although a guilty plea was entered. A very limited application of the ECHR was accepted in relation to this one matter as it occurred on a UK military base and was accordingly found to fall within UK jurisdiction for the purposes of the Haman Rights Act. As such, an independent public investigation was required pursuant to art 2 of the ECHR. This decision meant that the government was required to hold an inquiry regarding the incident. (8) Six Iraqi nationals (the 'applicants') (9) lodged an application on 11 December 2007 under art 34 of the ECHR against the UK in the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights. (10) It was accepted that Iraq was under occupation from 1 May 2003 to 28 June 2004 by the UK and the US as a result of major combat operations that had taken place between 20 March and 1 May 2003. The deaths of all of the applicants' relatives had occurred during the occupation phase at various locations within Iraq.
II The Decision
On 7 July 2011, the European Court of Human Rights handed down a unanimous decision of 18 judges (11) in Al-Skeini, (12) which has been described as 'the case of the century'. (13) Deciding on the contentious issue of the meaning of the term 'jurisdiction' within art 1 of the ECHR when it comes to extraterritorial application of the ECHR, the Court deliberated in private for longer than most cases on 9 and 16 June 2010 and 15 June 2011. The Court decided that the applicants, all relatives of the deceased Iraqi citizens, fell within the jurisdiction of the respondent state, the UK. The Court further held that the procedural obligation in ECHR art 2 requiring an 'adequate and effective investigation' into an individual's death had not occurred. In relation to the sixth applicant's (Baha Mousa's) death, it was accepted that a public inquiry (14) had been held in the UK that had satisfied the art 2 obligation. Compensation was awarded to each of the first five applicants to the full amount claimed in order, to acknowledge the distress caused by the failure to fully and independently investigate the deaths of their relatives. (15)
In reaching its decision on the facts, the Grand Chamber noted that the Coalitional Provisional Authority ('CPA') was created by the US and the UK and was temporarily to exercise powers of government, in particular by providing security and maintaining civil law and order. …

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Billy CorriherThe Clayton County Board of Commissioners could implement a law that would make it harder to steal or illegally restore electrical, gas or water service. County Attorney Harry Osborne addressed the commissioners at a work session on Tuesday and said the county ordinance would build on existing state laws and prohibit fraudulent means of acquiring utilities service and ways to avoid monitoring usage of utilities. Osborne said the new ordinance would also hold property owners accountable for any utility theft on their property. "If the owner is found with (illegal utility service), it's going to be presumed that the owner knew about it," he said. Wade Brannan, general manager of the Clayton County Water Authority, said his department has a problem with some people illegally acquiring or restoring water service. "We try to work it out with the customer, but when we run across it, we will prosecute them for theft of services," Brannan said. The commissioners will discuss the ordinance again at its March 16 meeting. The commissioners will also consider resolutions on stormwater management and guidelines for developments around floodplains from the Metropolitan North Georgia Planning District. Ray Espinosa, the county's land development engineer, said the stormwater management ordinance would give the county better oversight for monitoring development around environmentally sensitive areas that could affect drinking water. The ordinance regarding floodplains would put in place guidelines to protect structures from flood damage. Espinosa said the county already practices most of these policies, but needs to pass the ordinances to make the rules formal. "Clayton County has always been ahead of the curve as far as this kind of environmental protection is concerned," he said. The county is also in the process of accepting bids on contracts to operate C-TRAN, the county's bus system. The bids will be evaluated on March 16, and Wade Starr, administrative assistant to the chairman of the commissioners, said the current operator, MARTA, is expected to be one of about half a dozen companies to submit proposals.

Joacim - Modeler/Rigger/Texture (You will find some of this WIP models in the picture section)
Snusfarbror - Mapper (Currently working on USA and others)
We now have a facebook group (Facebook.com) and we are also on the verge of starting two programming contracts to get some real code progress.
These contracts will include a lot of smaller game mode related code that is just needed. They will also include some more complex code like Incapacitations, having hands and weapons load completely separate and detailed bullet penetration.
Of course we are still looking for anyone that is willing to join the team, whether it be casual or more committed.
There is still a very large chunk of work to be done with all aspects of the game. Mapping, Animating, Modeling, Rigging, and Texturing are all skills still needed. Pitch your part in towards recreating a glorious game that once lived. You will be credited for everyone to see.
We can provide high quality and in depth video recording of all of (Global Operations) maps that are to be "Remade. Another option is to give you a windowed client for the game that gives you noclip. (In the original Global Operations) With these resources at your disposal you should be able to make a great solid product to use with GORM among other games to spread the game. If this interests you PLEASE contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time,
