Perfect$ for fast growing feet! True to size but not for a wide foot... Hope this helps:)
Ordered these for my seven year old daughter. She wears a size 2 so that's what I ordered. They run narrow and tight in the length. We conveniently brought them back to the store for a refund even tho' we had ordered them online. I reordered a size larger online that same afternoon and they arrived just a few days later. A perfect fit. I highly suggest you order a size LARGER than the child is currently wearing. Even if they are slightly bigger the child can always grow into them. They also have an awesome Velcro closure strap so even if they are slightly larger the foot cannot slip out.
I bought this because of its price after shipping and that it has the velcro closure so that it is easier for my preschooler to put them on. The taps are thinner than the Balera shoes that we owned but it is more true to size. However, I think one size bigger than the street size would be a better fit for comfort. Even though you are supposed to wear it snug, my preschooler hates wearing shoes that are too tight. I wish they sell this at the store so that she can try them on before the purchase.
The velcro strap is GREAT, much better than the traditional laces.
Plan to order a size larger than expected. My only criticism is that shoe sizes run smaller than other brands and a bit narrow. We had to order twice to get the correct fit, but we are very pleased with the product quality and price.
This is an okay shoe, but the size runs HUGE. It is nowhere near real number sizing. Also, we did not like the velcro buckle. A shoe that ties allow for slight changes in the way the shoe fits. With the buckle, there is no adjustment at all. We returned these shoes, and were forced to buy smoething more expensive.
I used the size guide online and measured my kids feet. According to the size guide, I should get a size 9 for my 2.5 year old (she usually wears a size 8 or 8.5) and an 11 for my 4.5 year old (she wears a 10 or 10.5 in regular shoes). I got the shoes today and was so excited as we're they, but the shoes were WAYYY too small. I was surprised because I figured, if anything, they'd have some room to spare. All in all, the shoe is great in everything else, but I wish there was more guidance in terms of what size that actual shoe is, not being left to use the general sizing guide on Walmart.com. Of course, now the bigg sizes are out of stock, so I'm going to have to buy them from another store and pay 2.5 times as much. :(
My granddaughter loves these shoes. I also ordered a pair of tap shoes from a dance wear store online. I wanted to decide which ones would be best for her beginning tap lessons. The other pair were $7.00 more than these. My granddaughter tried on both pairs and they each fit perfectly. The quality was comparable. But the deciding factor came down to the straps. The other ones had regular buckles which were too hard for her to fasten. These have the Velcro type buckle and are much easier for her to take off and put on by herself. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
I ordered these tap shoes for my niece in Florida. I had the shoes mailed to her because they were not available in the store. We received the shoes before the estimated date. The problem was, the shoes were two different sizes. I ordered a size 13. We received 1 shoe size 12 and 1 shoe size 13. My mom went to Walmart to exchange them. They didn't carry the shoes. My mom got a gift card to use at another time or to reorder. Now I will have to order them again. It's a good thing shipping is inexpensive. The quality of the shoes were good and for the price it was good too.
These are GREAT tap shoes for the price it costs! I just got these shoes for my 8-year-old daughter! Following costumers reviews I ordered a size larger than my daughter wears (she wears size 3, so I bought size 4). It was a great decision because the size 4 fits her a little loose, but comfortably! She loved them! The quality looks ok-she hadn't worn them yet. But, hey, nobody can bit this price! They won't fit longer than 1 year anyway!
Very pleased with this aquisition! No need to look anywhere else!
We were very happy with these! I ordered her a size 3 because in flip flops she's a 2/3 and in tennis shoes she's a 3, but then got worried when I took her for ballet shoes they said she needed a one. So we were scared they'd be too big, but they actually fit perfect with socks! Just enough growing room to last a while too, which is what I wanted. She loves that they were shiny and velcro, that's just what she wanted, and she's only had them a few weeks but they really seem like good quality shoes!
These shoes are perfect. Unfortunately I read a few reviews that caused me to order a size up. My daughter wears tights and it is possible they wore socks (thick socks) with theirs. They are easy to return. I do not have the time to wait for the right size, but ordinarily I would order from this site again! Right now they are the least expensive around (and I've done some digging). Also we received it much sooner than expected!!!
My girls have only used these twice so far to their tap class but looks like they'll last a good while. I would recommend because at Payless you'll pay double! The material looks a Lil thin so that's why I rated it good for quality & expectations but the price I guess it's ok. And size wise 1 of my girls has her foot a bit wide & she can't use them for more than 30 minutes or shell feel tired.
Previous reviews are correct, buy at least one size larger than you need. My daughter was a 12, just starting to wear a 13 and I bought a size 1 and they fit. I almost wish I bought the 2 so she would grow into them. Also, they are for narrow feet... You can't beat the price.
My daughter is a second year tap student. i bought these instead of the higher So Danca ones I bought for the previous season. I can tell from her trying them on that its definitely a thinner tap on them, but for a 6 year old, Ill take it.
My daughter loves them.. size wise they are quite narrow.. at first I bought a size 10 but they were a little small in length.. good thing was they were easy to return and got a size 11 just in time for the next class..
unbelievable quality, exceptional value - I paid attention to other reviews and ordered one size bigger and these tap shopes are the best ones ever!!!
Shoe is true to size. Very narrow though. I love the velcro band better than the ribbon, which is easier for my granddaughter to slip on and off.
This was a great buy for my girls. They are easy for kids to put on by themselves. Half the price of the shoes at other stores.

In 1947, E. B. White published an unusual travel essay in Holiday magazine about a city that was disappearing before his eyes: New York City. Specifically, his New York City, the New York City of the 1920s and '30s that he'd lived in before removing himself to his "saltwater farm" on the coast of Maine. When he returned in '47, he found much had changed, but not the city's essential character. New York, he wrote, "can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck." White concluded with a line that has been quoted ever since: "No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky."
A recent tide of New York novels celebrates this maxim. In a way, the novels make for a tidy and fascinating fictional counter-history of the city's last century, ranging from the giddy late-1930s New York in Amor Towles's novel Rules of Civility, to the gritty 1980s in Eleanor Henderson's Ten Thousand Saints, and on to the post-9/11 world of Amy Waldman's The Submission (see...

"New Astrakhan, Luhansk Region, Ukraine" Nova Astrakhan' by hunterV
Nova Astrakhan' Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 89 photos
During my stay at my parents' in the city of Rubizhne I decided to pay a visit to this picturesque village located fifteen miles to the north-east of my native city.
I had heard about this village when I was a school student.
Also, I heard about Nova Astrakhan from my student Ann who had come to our regional high school to have intensive biology and chemistry for her future medical career.
In fact, the village name is not always written as Nova Astrakhan. It can be one word on road signs: Novoastrakhan, which means New Astrakhan. I thought it was a very special name for a village. There are several other villages starting with nova or novo in Luhansk region: Novorossosh, Novopskov, Novobyelaya, etc.
My guess was that Nova Astrakhan was founded by settlers who had come from Astrakhan area, but it was not exactly like that. History says that this village was the place of the headquarters of Astrakhan cuirassier regiment of the Russian army. It was called Novoastrakhan in 1825.
The history of the village dates back to 1787 when a Ukrainian Cossack Gooziy founded a Cossack settlement on the banks of the River Borova here. The settlement was first called Gooziyevka, and afterwards, when Holy Trinity Cathedral was dedicated in 1791 there, it was renamed into Novotroitske ("New Trinity Village").
I learnt interesting things about this history when I visited the village school and the village history museum, located on the second floor of the village school.
I had a lot of spare time and took a stroll along Lenin Street - the main street of the village. I managed to visit several places here:
- the secondary school, one of the best in the district;
- the village council;
- an agricultural enterprise;
- the village stadium;
- the village park;
- all the three war memorials;
- the old local church - the Church of the Protecting Veil of the Most Holy Mother of God
I admired the fresh air, the wonderful scenery, the village park, roads and ponds.
As a matter of fact, there are four ponds and the locals call them simply: the first, the second, the third and the fourth, among them the fourth one is the cleanest and would be good for bathing. The thing is that you can hardly bathe in any of them. That is, some brave local young people take a risk and bathe there, but they prefer to take a shower at home afterwards.
The village is located far from its county center - the city of Kreminne - about 45 km and 27 km from the nearest railway station of Rubizhne.
The total area of Novoastrakhan is 935 hectares.
There are 800 households with the total number of residents - about two thousand.
Also, there are about 300 seasonal residents who stay at their datchas in the village. Some of these seasonal residents have inherited houses from their relatives and turned them into datchas, others have merely bought old houses, use them as datchas and are total strangers here.
- Pros:A typical Ukrainian village with long history, hard-working and hospitable residents
- Cons:No hotel, no taxis; you can't bathe in the ponds there...
- In a nutshell:A Hospitable Ukrainian Village

Interesting little village, out of the beaten path.
Interesting to see that you took the photo for the "A night stroll" tip during daylight. You were probably afraid of the potholes at night. *winkygrin* Fabulous page with brilliant photos here.
Another great page that depicts everyday life. I, too, enjoyed the "cow repellent" tale. I'm always intrigued by burial mounds.
if ireland make it to the euro 2012 tournament, then i hope to see a bit of this very diverse country - your pages have enlightened me !
Interesting Nova Astrakhan' travel page complete with amazing photographs. The local church, war memorial and the Village Museum certainly sound wonderful to visit and explore. ~ho & pang
I really like the "cow repellant" tip! How funny :))) Lovely page, Victor!
I particularly found your tip on burial mounds interesting....here we also have many mounds constructed by early Native Americans. They are fascinating to explore!
Cow repellant? I don't mean to make light of the situation, but I find it very comical that they (cows) are such pests. I guess that is one of the major nuisances of life in the country.
Another great page on an interesting location.
Very nice page of yours, Victor! It was interesting to know about a Russian Army general and village sponsor - Vladimir Poddubny. A good example to follow...

ATLANTA (May 24, 2013)--Sixteen people were taken to hospitals Friday after a crash between a hotel shuttle bus and a tractor-trailer near Atlanta's airport.
Initial reports listed the number of injured at 18.
Atlanta Fire Rescue Department spokeswoman Janet Ward says the accident happened at around 10:30 a.m. Friday.
She said it's not immediately clear what caused the accident.
Ward said there were 16 people on the bus at the time of the accident.
Nine were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, including one who was in critical condition.
The other nine were taken to Atlanta Medical Center.
Ward says the bus served Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn and Hilton hotels and was headed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International airport.
Overhead shots from WSB-TV show the shuttle ran into the left side of the trailer that was stretched across the road.

2008 Research Summary
Screw-Based Motion Planning for Bevel-Tip Flexible Needles in 3D Environments with Obstacles
View Current Project Information
Vincent Duindam, Ron Alterovitz, S. Shankar Sastry and Ken Goldberg
As part of an NIH-funded project on flexible needle steering in soft tissue, we consider motion planning of a steerable, flexible, bevel-tip needle in a 3D environment with obstacles. The needle has two control inputs: (1) a torque around the needle's main axis, and (2) a forward pushing force which, due to the asymmetric forces on the tip, results in motion along a circle. Together, these inputs generate helical needle motions.
The objective of the path-planning algorithm is to find control inputs that steer the needle from a starting configuration (location and orientation) to a goal configuration in an optimal way, while avoiding impenetrable and sensitive areas. We formulate this objective as a minimization problem, with cost determined by the deviation from the goal, penetration of obstacles, path length, and required control effort. We use screw-theory to describe the kinematics of the needle, resulting in fast optimization of the cost function, a few seconds on a standard PC for typical 3D environments with obstacles.

I am working on a VM that was set up for me in a public cloud. It's running under the Xen hypervisor in paravirtualized mode and has two virtual disks. So I expect the virtual disk block devices to be named
xvda and
xvdb. However, the way this machine has been set up, the block devices are named
xvda1 and
xvda2. Mind you, these aren't partition names. They are names of the whole block devices. Under
/sys/block there are
xvda1 and
xvda2 directories. Normally, I'd expect to see
xvda and
xvdb under
/sys/block, because as documented here that's how Xen virtual disk devices (whole disks) are supposed to be named.
Looking in
/proc/partitions there are only two entries:
xvda1 and
xvda2. Under
/dev there are also only
/dev/xvda1 and
/dev/xvda2 (no
/dev/xvda or
/dev/xvdb). I also looked at the udev rules to see if the devices had been intentionally renamed, but could find nothing under
/etc/udev/rules.d that is responsible for this.
Are these legitimate names for these devices, or has the system administrator made some kind of misconfiguration? The names certainly seem to be at odds with the Linux kernel's device.txt documentation. Or is this normal for a Xen paravirtualized VM?

CU-Boulder Chefs Win Top Prizes at Culinary Conference
By Linda Besen, Publications and Creative Services
Executive Sous Chef Paul Houle and Sous Chef Adam Schwartz took first place in separate events at the 2005 National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS) regional culinary competition in March in Laramie, Wyo.
"It felt great to win, and to have something to bring back to the university for all our time and effort," says Schwartz. Adds Houle, "It's a fun event. You learn a lot about yourself and what you can do under pressure."
Houle competed in the cook-off competition, which measured organization, cooking skill, culinary techniques and taste. He had one hour to prepare his original recipe of coffee- and chili-seared lamb loin on orange-scented spaetzle paired with garlic-and-herb sausage, caramelized onions, Swiss chard, English pears and peppers. In July he will compete in the NACUFS National Culinary Challenge in New Orleans.
Schwartz competed in the first-ever bakery culinary challenge where he had 65 minutes to decorate a cake using the theme, "Blazing New Trails." The competition measured organization, presentation and workmanship. The scene on Schwartz's cake featured tuile-cookie mountains under spun-sugar clouds.
The chefs held timed, coached practices several times a week for a few months before the event. "This was my first competition," says Schwartz. "I designed my cake three times before I was satisfied. Paul [Houle] was my coach, and I practiced every other day."
Houle has worked at CU-Boulder for over three years, the first two at the University Club. As executive sous chef, he spends time in each dining unit supervising, conducting training sessions and ensuring food quality. He also creates many of the new recipes used by all the campus kitchens.
Schwartz has been with the university for nearly two years. He started in Farrand Hall and currently works as chef at Dal Ward's Training Table.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Riding the "Uncanny" wave of new Marvel titles — Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny X-Force — Skullkickers creators Jim Zubkavich and Edward Huang have wryly announced the February arrival of … The Uncanny Skullkickers #1.
"A bold new direction!" the Image Comics solicitation promises. "A perfect jumping-on point! A newly added adjective! Our nineteeth issue, but also a new issue #1! It's all here, people! Don't make us use more exclamation marks!! P.S. Retailers: Rack this comic beside other 'Uncanny' comics you may have hanging around and sell a ton of copies. Do it." The subsequently released teaser (above), parodies Marvel's ubiquitous ads for its relaunched titles, with the "Join the Revolution" logo replaced by a box reading "YUP we went there."
Image NOW! maybe? Hey, why not. "That's how we roll … bandwagon-jumping bastards," Zubkavich wrote this morning on Twitter, adding, "Wait until you see the variant cover."
Speaking of covers: Note, too, that Chris Stevens' cover (below) bears a striking similarity to those recently released by DC Comics for its Zero Month. The Uncanny Skullkickers #1 goes on sale Feb. 27.
Note, also, that something appears to be seriously wrong with that elf's right hand.
This is pretty funny, though. Nice job, Image.
Why bother coming up with your own marketing scheme when you can keep looking like douchebags by ripping off the other guys'?
I enjoy far more Image comics than Marvel or DC these days, but come on guys…
Oh well.
There's a big difference between ripping off and making fun of. I mean come on even the solicit is a joke.
Another Ian- So much anger!
Remember when comics were fun and people could enjoy the salesmanship/huckster element to selling "funny books"? Maybe you don't. If that's the case then I apologize.
Marvel and DC's sales won't suffer one iota from this terrifying and malicious assault on their global intellectual properties, I promise.
I actually wish Image did this more. It's a company founded by guys taking a stand against the industry. "Snarky" is the new "creator's rights movement" and this appeals to me.
If Image can do this what about trying to finish Image United. I thought that was suppose to be Image event to show the big two how an event suppose to be done. But they have time to do this That why Image's hero suck.
Hate Crime-
Every Image central title (ie. not Skybound, TMP, Top Cow, etc.) is creator-owned and put together by their own independent creative team.
The Skullkickers team has absolutely nothing to do with Image United's production schedule, deadlines, or release. The people making Image United have nothing to do with Skullkickers' production schedule, deadlines or release. The only thing they share is that they have the Image 'i' on their cover and are wholly-owned by their creators. It's not like the Big Two where there's a large editorial and creative group overseeing production.
All the best,
Another Ian – I think it's time to mount a search for your sense of humor. This is a funny way of making light of what the big two have been doing in the industry in the last year. No children or animals were harmed in the making of said parody!
You are a pimp amongst thieves! The book is amazing and this little send up is yet another reason why I love you, your creative team, and Image. Keep on keeping things fun and unique in comics!
So, no new Skullkickers until February? Bummer.
Don't listen to all the hate Jim. Skullkickers is Fucking Awesome and as long you keep making it I'[ll keep buying it. Also I thought I should let you know that my niece wants a Skullkickers Cartoon and and a Shorty Plush. Get on it
Crowning Moment of Awesome
A) Bloody love Skullkickers
B) Bloody love Image's mocking of MARVEL marketing because its hilarious.
C) Hate MARVEL marketing, with an absolute passion. Yearly relaunches, price increases, unfair trade releasing, constant creative team changes, double shipping, the list goes on. Its why I used to get about 20 MARVEL titles a month, and found MARVEL NOW to be the PERFECT jumping off point. So I've cancelled everything, just down to Spidey, Ultimate Spidey and Uncanny Avengers. The whole NOW thing I just….really hate….its a crappy name too. "New 52″ is cool. "NOW!" sounds super lame.
D) Image rules.
E) Image FTW.
F) Super duper mega awesome.
Love it! This book is fantastic, everything about it.
Ha ha that's amazing. I love every part of this.
I too am sick of everything Marvel is throwing into their campaign. The AR stuff is especially grating as is the Re-evolution crap. It's just gotten ridiculous and more than obtuse.
It's more that…this was the joke they did for the last "marketing" push Image had. Granted, Marvel and DC leave themselves open for it at every turn…but that's the easy way out, man! BE BETTER THAN KIRKMAN, ZUB.
I am just surly today.
I'm kind of ashamed that the Marvel Now thing is pulling me in, but still I'll keep buying lots of Image comics, Skullkickers included obviously.
But what happened to the teaser next issue cover that appeared in number #18? It was pretty darn good IMO
next in line:
Superior Spawn
Mighty Savage Dragon
Astonishing Bomb Queen
Zub, you owned those trolls. Keep up the great work!
I don't see this as "mocking", more a parody. And there's a difference.
This is FUN. Pure fun. Enjoy it. Give the comic a try if you haven't. I'll be adding it to my monthly pull list, and this issue will be the perfect point to do so. Hope there's another treasure trove coming in 2013 though Zub, the first was amazing.
YUP, you shouldn't have. What a waste of ink, paper, and/or bytes. I don't know what's worse, Marvel and DC's myopic, mimicking annual marketing plans or Image making fun of it. This was funnier when Eastman and Laird did it over twenty years ago.
"This is FUN. Pure fun."
Lamely copying other copies marketing to hype your own books is fun?
God forbid they come up wth something original.
"Lamely copying other copies marketing to hype your own books is fun?"
Yeah! You ain't fooling us, Zub! You did it all for the moneys, not for the giggles! To steal all the hype! Bastard! Plus, as we all know, people are sheep, who love the new #1s and adjectives. They will clearly get confused over your marketing copying magic! And those who won't get confused will call you out on your unfunny unoriginal shenanigans, sir! (I'm senselessly wasting bytes here, aren't I?)
from me I don't like imitation. all a name change does is say same story just different name to drum up few idiots who think it is the same thing it was bad enough that I image got away way with doing this kind of I'm sorry but the moment they put the name uncanny on it they lost any sales they could have gotten thing in eighties when the creators named everything with names similar to the ones that made them famous to begin with for instance Spiderman and Spawn. since image is hit and miss the good stuff manages to get attention but the bad stuff is forgotten quickly there is no consistency the same month that has great book like the Great Pacific, Happy and chew will have a larger group of titles that will blend in to the wood work or are just plain bad like young blood Image has lost any respect I once had for them

After debuting the Top 150 Prospects yesterday, I want to move on to additional discussion of the best prospects at each position. In each of these positional rankings I will be providing some narrative to help break the prospects into tiers that will provide some context to the invisible dividing lines that may exist between the players presented.
1. Julio Teheran – Atlanta Braves
2. Shelby Miller – St. Louis Cardinals
3. Gerrit Cole – Pittsburgh Pirates
4. Taijuan Walker – Seattle Mariners
This upper tier of right-handers represents the elite; the best of the best. These four pitchers are the young arms I consider to have true ace potential in the minor leagues. Teheran and Miller should both receive MLB innings in 2012 and Cole could get there in 2013, helping lead their respective rotations forward over the next several years. Walker is a bit further away but may have the highest pure upside of anyone on this list.
5. Dylan Bundy – Baltimore Orioles
6. Zack Wheeler – New York Mets
7. Arodys Vizcaino – Atlanta Braves
The three pitchers broken apart here offer the potential to be very good number two starters, though two of them – Wheeler and Vizcaino – come with considerable risk. Wheeler has significant development remaining to reach his potential but his fastball-curveball combination is hard to ignore. Vizcaino may be pushed to the bullpen as part of a numbers game and his persisting injury issues. If given the time to develop and polish his command, I do believe Vizcaino could be an outstanding number two starter with swing and miss stuff. Bundy's rating as a number two starter may draw the ire of some fans, but as I stated in his scouting report, I see him as more of a really good number two than an ace.
8. Matt Harvey – New York Mets
9. Jameson Taillon – Pittsburgh Pirates
10. Jacob Turner – Detroit Tigers
The final three pitchers on this list all have varying degrees of potential as number two starters, but should settle in as outstanding number three starters without much trouble. Taillon has the highest ceiling of the three pitchers and if he even approaches his considerable ceiling he could vault to an echelon befitting a dominating number two. Both Harvey and Turner are nearing big league readiness. They offer very good raw stuff, a solid feel for pitching and at their best should turn in some very nice seasons as a number two starter on playoff caliber teams.
Just Missed: Archie Bradley – Arizona Diamondbacks, Trevor Bauer – Arizona Diamondbacks, Wily Peralta – Milwaukee Brewers, Sonny Gray – Oakland Athletics, Neil Ramirez – Texas Rangers

Energy Project vs. Environmentalists in Peru
By JUAN FORERO
Published: September 9, 2003
PARACAS, Peru— In the barren moonlike landscape outside this coastal hamlet, workers in hard hats are busily laying cables and constructing giant holding tanks for natural gas liquids. An alliance that includes well-known names in energy like Hunt Oil of Texas and Pluspetrol of Argentina then plans to lay two miles of pipe along the ocean floor to a loading platform for tankers.
The development in Paracas, about three hours' drive south from Lima, is part of an ambitious project, which could cost up to $3.6 billion, to export butane, propane and, eventually, natural gas to California. Peruvian officials say the development, 20 years in the making, would be a crucial engine for growth as the country, which is resource rich but cash poor, tries to transform itself into an energy exporter.
But a surging environmental movement -- led by activists from the United States -- is pushing hard to halt construction at this plant, which is still in its early stages, and force it to move elsewhere.
Asserting that the plant is a danger to the country's only marine reserve, a sanctuary for sea turtles, rare penguins and sea lions only 4.3 miles to the south, environmental groups won a big victory on Aug. 28. That was when the Export-Import Bank, a credit agency of the United States government, rejected a $214 million loan, citing concerns about the environment.
Now, the Inter-American Development Bank is set to vote on Sept. 10 on $75 million in additional financing that, if rejected, could place at least another $60 million in syndicated loans in jeopardy.
Peruvian government officials and operators of the Camisea project -- named for the region where the wells are -- said they had lined up $225 million in optional financing from a Peruvian bank and promised to finish the project.
[On Monday, the Andean Development Corporation approved long-term loans worth $75 million, Peru's government said.]
But an adverse decision could be a serious blow to the project's image and set a precedent sought by environmentalists -- that multinational lending agencies, particularly those dependent on American money, ensure rigorous environmental standards before providing big loans.
''Camisea is a key test for the international financial institutions and the United States government,'' said Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat in the foreign operations subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee and a leading critic of the project. ''The issue is whether the Inter-American Development Bank, financed with U.S. taxpayer dollars, will protect a pristine area.''
Alliance engineers and officials in President Alejandro Toledo's government, which says the project would increase gross domestic product 0.8 percent a year, assert that the highest environmental standards have been exceeded. They accuse environmental groups of exaggerating deficiencies in a quest to terminate the project.
''We had 18 public meetings,'' said Jaime Quijandría, the economy minister. ''Problems came up, but not the kinds of problems that are being raised now.''
Mr. Quijandría added: ''We are certain there is not going to be any environmental damage.''
Project officials and government officials admit errors in the development, but say that standards were improved as environmentalists and consulting firms hired by the multinational lenders raised concerns.
Alejandro Segret, general manager of TGP in Peru, noted that the pipeline construction, which his company is leading, will be underground, to be covered by jungle.
''Our focus was always to minimize the environmental and social damage,'' he said. ''This is one of the most transparent projects there has been in this country.''
But environmental groups like Amazon Watch, Conservation International and the World Wildlife Fund and a collection of grass-roots groups have warned of environmental devastation. And some of their concerns have been echoed by some officials at the Export-Import Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and by some members of Congress.
The Camisea fields, discovered a generation ago by Shell, were envisioned as one of the largest energy developments in Latin America.
Shell eventually dropped out, and the project has been developed by companies like Hunt Oil of Texas; Pluspetrol of Argentina; Techint, which owns TGP; the SK Corporation of South Korea; Sonatrach, an Algerian state-owned company, and Tractebel, the Belgian energy giant. The companies are developing gas fields thought to hold 13 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and condensate, including butane and propane, an enormous amount. Wells are being developed in the lower Urubamba region of the Peruvian Amazon, along with a gas- and-liquids separation plant and two pipelines stretching across the Andes.
One pipeline, 445 miles long, is projected to transport gas to Lima by August, lowering electricity rates and improving air quality. The other, 335 miles long, leads to this 600-acre site. All this will cost $1.6 billion.
Another $2 billion will be spent to build a plant to liquefy the natural gas and, by 2007, become a major supplier to the United States. A leading candidate for the job would be Halliburton, another Texas company, a Hunt Oil official said.

Research Institution:
AbstractThe objective of this proposed effort is to research, develop and demonstrate a prototype of a multi-mode low profile sensor that will detect a wide range of reverse engineering attacks. This will be accomplished by creating a multi-layered sensor architecture into which a myriad of AT Sensors can be inserted. This effort uses the multi-layered approach to employ two complementary AT sensor technologies: micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) vibrational sensors and nanoparticle doped thin film sensors. By combining these technologies, the sensor will be able to detect reverse engineering attacks from acoustic microscopy, mechanical grinding, X-rays, and focused ion beams (FIB). The effectiveness of this device will be measured in terms of metrics such as: variety of tamper events detected, shelf life, detectability, difficulty to disable once discovered, design flexibility, voltage and current characteristics under relevant environmental extremes, false alarm properties, cost, manufacturability, and operations and support (including R&M) impacts.

CHICAGO (AP) - Two women suing Abbott Laboratories contend a test made by the company returned false positive results that caused them to have unnecessary chemotherapy and, in one case, a hysterectomy.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Chicago on behalf of two women - a 24-year-old from New York and a 38-year-old from Michigan - who allegedly received incorrect results from a test known as Abbott B-hCG.
The procedure often is used to test for pregnancy because pregnant women produce high levels of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, according to the lawsuit.
The test determined the women were not pregnant.
However, according to the lawsuit, doctors immediately put the women on chemotherapy because the test detected elevated hCG levels - a sign of trophoblast disease, a deadly cancer.
Eventually, the lawsuit said doctors determined that neither woman - one of whom had a hysterectomy as part of her treatment - had cancer.
The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, claims that "potentially hundreds if not thousands" of other women mistakenly received serious medical treatment.
Chicago-based Abbott denied the claims. The false positives are due to a phenomenon known as "phantom hCG," which company spokeswoman Rhonda Luniak said sometimes caused women to appear to have higher levels of hCG.
Doctors are not only well aware of the phenomenon but also would not treat a patient for cancer without performing a battery of other tests, Luniak said.
Earlier this month, Abbott - the nation's largest maker of diagnostic tests - settled a complaint with the Food and Drug Administration for repeated violations of quality manufacturing rules. The company agreed to pay the government $100 million.

"Coach Eyestone does uniquely well maximizing talent," says Jon Kotter, a walk-on who was cut twice before making the team and going on to become one of the school's fastest at 10,000 meters. "He takes kids who weren't that great in high school and turns them into national-class runners."
Undoubtedly such success led to a promotion last summer. After years of mulling the change, BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe, a former NFL player who is also a knowledgeable track fan, restructured the entire track and field program. He combined the men's and women's programs and appointed Eyestone as director of track and field, which means he will oversee the entire track program while also continuing to coach male distance runners. Other schools have combined their programs, largely because it has at least one advantage. Separate men's and women's teams are limited to three full-time coaches to cover sprints, distance running, hurdles, relays, jumping and throwing events. With the programs combined, they have six coaches who will work with both men and women.
Certainly the Eyestone name will carry some cachet for the team, which will aid recruiting. "Ed Eyestone is kind of a legend in running because he was so good for so long," says Bob Wood, Eyestone's former agent who has been a behind-the-scenes force in running circles for decades. "You say his name and almost everyone knows that one."
Eyestone comes from an accomplished, educated and bright family. His parents, Bob and Virginia, earned post-graduate degrees. So did all five of their children, who excelled in school and won scholarships for writing, music, drama and athletics. As noted in the book, "Trials and Triumphs," the Eyestone children went on to become singers, architects, actors, writers, musicians, beauty queens and runners.
The Eyestone name is the literal translation of the original German name "Augenstein." Virginia's ancestors were Mormon pioneers. Eyestone explains it as only a runner would: "My mom's side all hoofed it across the plains. Most notably, Edward Shields Reid, who was born in Wales and came across the plains in 1861 at the age of 2, much of it astride his father Edward Reid's shoulders. Apparently, the Reids are known for their endurance."
Eyestone began running at the age of 13 in 1974 and, except for a two-year break he took to serve an LDS Church mission in Portugal, he didn't stop racing until 2000, at the age of 39. Think of the mileage he has put on those legs: He averaged 60-70 miles a week in high school, 80-90 miles a week in college and 100 miles a week as a professional, taking only about three weeks off annually. That adds up to nearly 100,000 miles, not counting the less-intense training he did in junior high. If he had run in a straight line, he would have circled the earth four times.
There were 10 All-American citations, four NCAA championships, two Olympic berths, one world track championship, nine World Cross Country Championships and an American collegiate record for 10,000 meters. He was five times the U.S. Road Racer of the Year. He ranked among the top American marathoners for nine years and among the top 10,000-meter runners for eight. He won many of the nation's biggest road races — Bay to Breakers in San Francisco, Peach Tree in Atlanta, Lilac Bloomsday in Spokane and the Twin Cities Marathon. He was second in the Chicago Marathon, second in the Olympic trials marathon (twice), second in Bay to Breakers. He ran in virtually every country in Europe, as well as cities in Australia, the Far East, Russia, South America and Central America.
He competed professionally for about 15 years, running at a top level until he was nearly 40, a remarkable feat given the pounding a distance runner's body takes. He had a shoe contract with Reebok that provided the financial stability to pursue the sport professionally and pick his races judiciously, which probably helped him remain healthy and prolong his career.
"I stretched it out for a while," he says. "It was my life. I've never faulted anyone for competing past their prime. So what? If you can still do something better than 99 percent of the population, do it."

| Fuyu-ppe chapter 6 . 2/14/2013
That was beautifully written even though it was depressing... But regardless, a great piece! Looking forward to more chapters!
| Fuyu-ppe chapter 5 . 2/14/2013
I'm sorry if I'm flooding your inbox with reviews, but I feel I have to say: this is my new favorite (so far). My toes just curled at how adorable this was! You write GrayLu so deliciously, you know that? :D
| Fuyu-ppe chapter 4 . 2/14/2013
This is too, too, too cute! Very creative idea; you always come up with the most interesting stuff, which is something (among many other things) that I admire about your writing. I find myself to have an apalling lack of imagination with my writing, so you always giving us something original and amusing to read is great for me. ;)
I feel sorry for Juvia, but I'm more happy with Gray and Lucy.
Lovely chapter. Superb job, as always.
| Fuyu-ppe chapter 3 . 2/14/2013
I adore all these one-shots/drabbles.
This entry is just hilarious. Pwned!Gray is always a win in my book, haha.
I can definitely imagine Romeo being this witty.
I really love all the creative stories you come up with. You do an amazing job!
| Fuyu-ppe chapter 2 . 2/14/2013
This entire chapter should have been called WHIPPED. Because that was what I was thinking when I read it.
Dudette, you totally need to write more stories where Lucy is doing the controlling.
Because most of the stories have Gray domineering in his oh-so-sexy-arrogant-way. ;)
| Fuyu-ppe chapter 1 . 2/14/2013
You have an unusual talent for writing drabbles and oneshots of outstanding quality.
Because although they are short, they leave you more satisfied and happy than a chapter of five thousand words. Good work!
| IamDomo chapter 6 . 2/6/2013
This is so amazing. Really. Your writing skills rival that of published authors. I hope you continue, and I really really hope you never stop writing. :D
Your fan,
| Strawberry.Orihime chapter 6 . 2/6/2013
oh my, i just love it, love it! really good work.
for sure this fic is one of my favorite graylu :) (and well, i dare say all your fanfics are on my list of best graylu, for real, you keep them perfectly in character and write so extremely well, you're so talented! keep the good work!)
although is said it's complete, i hope it's not the end yet 'cause that would be really be so sad!
i hope a happy ending to this one.
write more soon! i miss you. :)
best regards,
| Strawberry.Orihime chapter 5 . 2/6/2013
best chapter ever. this whole fic totally captivated me from start to finish. everything was just so awesome! so great! so interesting and never failed to leave me in utter suspense. every part of this fic I totally enjoyed. every part!

3:28 pm
to the russians. we no angela merkel has some concerns about that, because the trade flows between germany and russia both ways are huge, but so far, wolf. that test hasn't been put to the countries. they're still talking with one voight. maybe it's only that that's brought putin back from the brink. even so, i would put it this way. 200 points on the dow, it's scotch miss. it could disappear tomorrow if things turn nasty again. >> certainly could. this is a real volatile situation. richard quest, thanks very much. remember, you can always follow us on twitter. tweet me @warm frontblitzer. tweet the show @sitroom. let any step in with van jones and s.e. cupp. president obama's work is paying off he says have laid mer putin has hit the pause button.
3:29 pm
>> which means as much as when russia hit the reset button. the debate starts right now. tonight on "crossfire", until pressure from president obama, is vladimir putin backing down? >> there have been some reports that president putin is pausing for a moment. >> is he proving his republican critics wrong? on the left, van jones. on the right s.e. cupp. in the crossfire, howard dean, former presidential candidate, and paul wolfowitz, a former deputy defense secretary. is the obama doctrine working? are some republicans undermining the president abroad? tonight on "crossfire." welcome to "crossfire." we're continuing cnn's breaking news coverage of the crisis in ukraine. i'm s.e. cupp on the right. >> we have a former presidential
3:30 pm
candidate and former pentagon official. today we saw big hits that the tough diplomacy with russia might work. kerry delivered a billion dollar package to kiev. behind the scenes, the obama administration has put together a crippling set of proposed economic sanctions. while the president is busy doing his job, his republican critics keep trying to undermine him. freshman senator and self-appointed foreign policy expert ted cruz writing under the headline language of fools -- have laid mer putin running rampant shows how the obama administration's abdication of global leadership is making the world a more dangerous place. thank you very much for that help in a crisis, ted cruz. ted cruz is taking cheap shots. meanwhile, his republican friends are actually trying to raise money on this crisis. instead of actually trying to solve it.
3:31 pm
i just think that's terrible, s.e. >> let's moveon.org. here on kroich kroich, former governor -- howard dean and former deputy defense secretary paul wolfowitz. clearly, clearly president obama has underestimated vladimir putin. russia is stalling on syria, undermining our negotiations in iran, and now russia is invading ukraine. i'm not suggesting that obama has made putin a bad actor. russia has been a bad actor for quite some time, but can't you agree that putin has been emboldened by our weakness in that region? >> no, i don't agree with that. first of all, i think it is true that putin has not kept his word on syria. i think what putin's actions are
3:32 pm
against international law. i think the president is doing the right thing. he's ratcheting up the heat, slowly enough that putin has a chance to back off. one problem with putin is not only he's broken the law, but he now has to back down an save face at the same time. he needs the opportunity to do that. the president needs to titan the vise, and not making it to -- >> some of the rhetoric is great, especially with what secretary kerry has said, the fact that he's taken the ukrainian foreign minister with him is a good thing. you can talk about tightening gradually, but there's i think we're long past the point where some firm action should be taken. let me be clear, the firm action is to begin to scare the 100 or 200 richest people in russia who
3:33 pm
are the prop of putin's regime and have the money illegitimately. that's the money at risk. that needs to be done and done quickly. the brits, usually or stronger allies are putting the can i bosch. david cameron in a leaked piece of paper, said -- it was leaked today, said yesterday, that he wasn't interested in any kind of thing that might take russian money out of the city of london. >> talk about a message of weakness. putin is the problem here, not ted cruz. i have criticism of obama's behavior up to this point. i would say, for example, on this example, you know, putin looks at the red line in syria, the chemical weapons thing. he doesn't -- but the way to make him take it seriously is to do something now. if cameron doesn't like it, tell the british people that enabling london's theft of money.
3:34 pm
>> i didn't say weakness. i said rhetoric and reality. >> duly corrected. >> isn't the reality that they face the same situation when putin ran into georgia, and they did nothing? >> two wrongs don't make a right where i come from. >> we should say something about american values and interests at stake here. and it is taking place in a very unstable where every country has large minority interested in it.
3:35 pm
what would you have done difficultly this week, what would you have told him to do? >> i would go bad further. i would say don't talk reset with a man who's declared his goal in life is to restore the soviet union. i would not have whispered i'll have more flexibility after the election. >> fair enough. >> what would you have done this week difficultly? >> you start with evaluating him realistically. what do you think he thinks of our study? >> i really have no use for the russians at all. i haven't for a long time. >> i like the russians.
3:36 pm
i don't like putin. >> the history of russia since the revolution has not been a pretty one in terms of their -- >> can i correct you on that for a minute? >> yeah. >> in 1994, a different russian president, boris yeltsin agreed with ukrainian independence. the ukrainance in return gave up their nuclear weapons and allowed the russians to have this base in crimea. putin is not a typical russian. he's a typical kgb cold war -- >> the point i'm trying to make is i do want to say that if i'm behind the scenes, i want to screen the russians carefully and slowly. i think the ukrainance have handled this incredibly well. they just kicked out an incredibly corrupt president who really had no stanton anymore. they have an unstable government, because they're trying to put this together. for them not to fire a shot was
3:37 pm
very, very smart. they would have ended up where the georgians did. this is tough stuff. i don't have to tell you that. you've been in the seat. it's not a matter of saying we have to support the president. it's a matter of saying we need to give this president time to get to the result he needs to get to. i think running -- going too fast and too hard is probably a mistake. >> do you agree with the ambassador we should cancel our appearance at the g-8? >> eventually yes, but let's work up to that carefully. i assume somebody is telling vladimir putin, this is what you can expect in the next few days. if you don't do something to -- >> i don't think have laid march pew people tell putin -- >> there's always a back channel, always a way that somebody is talking to somebody in the kremlin. i presume they're saying this is what is really going to happen. >> let me bring up recent poll
3:38 pm
numbers on president obama. he came into office in 2009 and said he wanted to restore image around the role, but this poll asked if americans think the president is respected abroad. in the five years he's been in office, it's dropped 26 percentage points president isn't that an indictment of the foreign policy? >> i think that's hard to say. almost every president, including his predecessor is at their nater of this time in the second term. if you think the president kicks his dog, he might get better numbers. >> don't you think the president has made some very serious foreign policy mistakes. we don't need to color the entire administration, but you would add miss -- his's made some mistake. >> i this was that was a mistake. putin bailed him out. >> a farce cal -- >> but that's on putin. we need to hold him accountable for that red line.
3:39 pm
i think we need to do that. >> let me ask you a question. even looking at russia. if you look at what obama has been able to do, first of all, he didn't -- what he said was we're going to do three pragmatic things -- air rights over russia. he got that done. he said he was going to get russian table on iran. he actually has gone some things done here with regard to russia, and now the eu really is the one that -- how system obama's fault at this stage? >> look, you talked about what american public opinion, judging what foreigners think about the united states. i care about one foreign are at this moment and it's vladimir putin. he kind of gave his opinion, maybe is changing his mind, but the last statement is a warning that he will do it elsewhere in
3:40 pm
ukraine. i think -- we're talking about how to manage risk here. no one wants this thing to blow up into a military confrontation, but peeten seems to think he can keep pushing and pushing. >> we're going to find out. in the next few days. he's going to stay where he is or advance into eastern ukraine. if he does that, i think you'll see some major stuff going on. we blamed obama and bush, but there's one person who also bearing blame here. i'll ask howard dean about her, next.

welcome back to cnn's breaking news coverage of the crisis in the ukraine. in the crossfire tonight, howard dean and paul wolf owitsds. today john kerry was in kiev trying to clean up the mess started business his predecessor. remember hillary clinton's russian reset. she had a prop and incorrectly translated slogan to go with it. >> we want to reset our relationship, as -- so we will do it together. okay? >> well, as we all knowing, our russians relationship was reset. we can thank hillary clinton for resetting it all the way back to the '80s, just as republicans like mitt romney, it turns out hillary clinton's defining moment as secretary of state could be this spectacular

3:48 pm
states says assad must go. he says chemical weapons mustn't be used. now they have agreed chemical weapons are used and we do nothing. frankly he was fighting the act, which have labeled some of the cleptocrats didn't. >> don't you think this type of stuff -- >> it's not like anything the democrats ever did. >> i know! where is this -- >> i've got one more indignant thing which i think is even worse, and this is from the head of the republican senate campaign saying president obama's leadership on the world stage has been marked by weakness, indecent and incompetent. say you're committed to restoring real american leadership by contributing today. they are actually raising money in the middle of a crisis. >> are you really sure that democrats have not done just that a million times? that feels an hypocrite cal.
3:49 pm
>> do you think this type of stuff is appropriate? >> i'm not here to condone or approve. that's not the way i talk and it's not the way i like people talking about us in the administration, but believe me, the democrats in my experience do it three or four times more than republicans. so, you know, it's the pot calling the kettle black. >> maybe so. but honestly -- >> it's not the biggest issue of the time, by the way. putin is not judging his behavely what ted cruz or lindsey graham says. he's judges behave by what he thinks president obama is going to do. so far he hasn't seen much. >> i have not seen the republicans support the president on anything. name one thing that the republicans have supported him on. we did support your administration when it came to immigration and health care reform. we did try to stand with you on the wars. unfortunately the republicans have not stood with the president on anything. >> the republicans have supported the president in afghanistan. i don't know -- i think better
3:50 pm
than democrats. the republicans supported the president on his asia policy, particularly his breakthrough in burma, which was a genuine success. >> and democrats did not support the president on his syria policy. they didn't vote for it, either. >> i know a lot of democrats who are privately unhappy, as maybe howard is privately, at what looks like, sorry to say it, weakness in the face of a villain out tie rant. >> just today, it's still teetering on the brink of disaster. take a look at this encounter.
3:51 pm
i mean, that's intense stuff. today the russians moved forward with a preplanned intercontinental ballistic missile test which would been scheduled. i don't know that he had to do it today, but he decided to. isn't putin showing he's ready to go? >> we have to find that out. look, we're not going to commit troops to this. >> of course not. of course not. >> so that leaves one other possibility. that's some sort of diplomacy coupled with sanctions, which i hope is where the president is going. again, i revert to what i said earlier. first of all, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but i'm sure something is, because it always does. secondly, what the president should be doing, and i suspect he is, is tightening plenty i have advance notice. i think he's trying to avoid any rhetoric that he doesn't have to
3:52 pm
get into. he needs to get putin to stand down and putin to save face needs to show he's doing it. so far, there hasn't been a shot aimed at another soldier on the other side. once that happens, it's almost impossible to put that the genie back in the bottle. >> are you confident we can talk putin down? >> not at all. i think putin has to see something tough in his face. we're consumed with who in the united states is to blame for all this. the man to blame is vladimir putin. the tragedy and we should emphasize this more than we do is that you know, boris yeltsin was comfortable ukrainian independence. things were going well till this thief became the tie rapt of russia. taking russia back into the 20th century. >> shevardnadze was the president. the succession of crooks. it wasn't till the orange revolution putin started to get

Link in Twilight Princess by riokaWatch
©2006-2016 rioka
Link of the Zelda series sporting a more realistic and older look than his usual boy self. Link (this version) was actually voted as the sexiest game character in a European gay magazine called Out (iirc). Personally, I think Zelda's got nothing on Link! ;D Anywhooo, you can snag this and more Twilight Princess artwork at the Nintendo website.

The Imaging Vector Magnetograph (IVM) at the Mees Solar Observatory, Haleakalā, Maui, Hawai'i, obtained many years of vector magnetic-field data in the photospheric Fe i 630.25 nm line. In the latter period of its operation, the IVM was modified to allow routine observations in the chromospheric Na i D1 line, as well as the Fe i line. We describe the sodium observational data in detail, including the data-reduction steps that differ from those employed for the Fe i 630.25 nm line, to obtain calibrated Stokes polarization spectra. We have performed a systematic comparison between the observational data and synthetic NLTE Na i D1 Stokes spectra derived for a variety of solar-appropriate atmospheric and magnetic configurations. While the Na i D1 Stokes polarization signals from the solar atmosphere are expected to be weak, they should generally be within the IVM capability. A comparison between synthetic spectra and observational data indicates that this is indeed the case.
