Overall rating
Average rating: 4.58 stars
Fit right, but fall apart quick, and leave my feet aching after work. Previous faders had much more support and lasted longer by months. Not happy with this last purchase. :/
safe value, great comfort, not too fancy
Plain design, but great effect!
The product respects the expectations about size and style. The price is very good. They sent me very fast
My first pair of etnies almost 2 years ago fit amazing and were so comfortable. These are less comfortable and although they say the same size (8.5) feel too small on my feet. i love etnie shoes, at least the first pair (were given to me as a gift) so I thought I would buy another. Decent shoe, but unsure if I will purchase again.
I usually try to stick with black shoes, but these are great. Awesome product for a great price.
I had initially thought that these would have the elastic, but after reading the description again, it doesn't actually "say" that they do-- I just though that my original Faders did, so I assumed these would. Other than that, great shoes. I love them, and when I wear these out, I'll probably be buying another pair.
Very good and beautiful shoes
The most comfortable shoe to wear !!! anytime ...for work or play
Cool design!

I started writing on the economy because I was horrified with the biased analysis being pumped out by pundits. Even today, most analysis I read is either a simple regurgitation of the government's spin on the data or a cherry picking of data points to present an overly positive or overly negative view. I can count on one hand those which try to provide real balanced data analysis.

The project was selected to participate in a reception hosted by The Center for Clean Energy Innovation and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation on Capitol Hill called Energy Innovation on the Hill, which followed the annual Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C., held by ARPA-E, the federal Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. The agency is part of the Department of Energy and funds the backpack project, along with several other lab projects.
Taking their invention back east were Phil Haves, leader of Berkeley Lab's Simulation Research Group and the project's principal investigator, along with his UC Berkeley partner, engineering professor Avideh Zahkor, and Eric Turner, a Berkeley graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science.
In addition to taking part in the Capitol Hill reception, the group met with individual members of Congress and their staff to demo the backpack system, and were invited to participate in a Bicameral Roundtable on Climate Change, founded by U.S. Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island.
The backpack system, Rapid Building Energy Modeler (RAPMOD), uses laser sensors and computers to quickly make three-dimensional thermal maps of an entire building as a person walks through it. The maps allow for a cost-effective evaluation of heat loss and building inefficiencies and could help building owners develop strategies to for making their buildings more energy-efficient, according to ARPA-E.

The project has the potential to play a significant role in national efforts to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and could also reduce costs for consumers, according to the research team.
The backpack-system-as-building-mapper concept originated with Zakhor, a researcher who leads Berkeley's Video and Image Processing Lab. In the five years since she developed the idea, it has been adapted to multiple uses, while strides have been made to make such systems smaller and ever more accurate.
RAPMOD wasn't the only Berkeley Lab project getting attention. Besides RAPMOD, four other Berkeley Lab-led projects also exhibited at the ARPA-E Summit's Technology Showcase, while the Lab's Delia Milliron and Venkat Srinivasan were panelists in two different Summit sessions.

This was not so much about What A Friend, as absent friends. Sir Alex Ferguson, for instance, had made a wasted journey here the previous day, when the racecourse disappeared under fog – forcing a 24-hour postponement of the Lexus Chase. Then there was Paul Nicholls, who likewise remained on home soil yesterday, to saddle Big Buck's at Newbury. But while both Ferguson, as joint-owner, and Nicholls, as trainer, were suitably honoured in their absence, the reputation of neither could be appreciably altered by yet another bauble. Instead almost all the reflected glory of What A Friend's eventual success was seized by Denman – a horse suddenly needing all the friends he can get.
Denman's comeback in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury last month had implied that his third private duel with Kauto Star at Cheltenham in March might prove a legitimate decider. But then his stablemate raised the bar afresh at Kempton on Boxing Day. The ball was not just back in Denman's court, it was whizzing down the line.
So while Denman himself will be confined to one, pretty leisurely assignment before Cheltenham – at Newbury in February – at least he found a proxy here to prod the ball back over the net. For when Denman beat What A Friend at Newbury, he conceded 22lb without ever being remotely menaced with defeat.
Admittedly, What A Friend was flat out to win here, holding another British raider, Money Trix, by a diminishing half-length. But he had travelled with conspicuous comfort through the race, jumping energetically, and the narrow margin was simply indicative of his sloth in front.
Certainly, his jockey insisted that his partner had given his all. "The run-in did seem very long," Sam Thomas said. "But he had every chance to get out of it today, and he dug deep. People thought he was ungenuine in the Hennessy, when he wandered about going to the final fence, but he was just trying so hard."
It was Thomas himself who had passed the real test of character. His stint as understudy to Ruby Walsh, the stable jockey, had ended unhappily last season when he palpably lost Nicholls' confidence. Thomas was none the less asked to ride What A Friend at Newbury, and admitted himself vexed when the mount in the Lexus originally went to Barry Geraghty. The race's postponement prised open the door once again, however, as Geraghty was already committed at Newbury – and Thomas gratefully managed to extricate himself from obligations to his new boss, Tom George. He certainly made the most of his opportunity, though time will tell whether he can retrieve the mount on Denman himself, assuming Walsh sticks with Kauto Star.
"I was disappointed not to be riding the horse in the first place, to be honest, but I got the opportunity today," he said. "I need to thank one of Tom George's owners, Philip Nelson, for letting me get off his horse to come over here. Barry was due to ride, and he has a lot of experience around here, but everything happens for a reason and the gods must have been looking down on me. Thank goodness for the fog!"
At Newbury, Nicholls professed himself "really chuffed for Sam" and credited him with a fine ride, but was not getting carried away by the horse, who would still have "an enormous amount" to make up on his two famous stablemates at Cheltenham. Aintree and Punchestown are likely to top his agenda instead. It proved a disappointing race for the hosts. Joncol, in fairness, was still in front approaching the last, having seen off Notre Pere, but he started hanging on the run-in and had to settle for bronze. Cooldine, meanwhile, was soon exhausted on his return, in what had become pretty demanding ground.
On a stygian Dublin day of low cloud and icy rain, at least the Irish managed two positive contributions to an exceptionally vague Smurfit Champion Hurdle scene, from Solwhit and, albeit only in a mares' hurdle, Voler La Vedette. Both are likely to return here next month for the Irish Champion Hurdle.
As for Big Buck's, he saw off Diamond Harry in even worse conditions at Newbury and Nicholls acknowledged that he looks "bomb-proof" in the defence of the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham – for which he is now 4-6 favourite with the sponsors. "He's not always the most straightforward and I was worried it would turn into a tactical nightmare," Nicholls admitted. "But he keeps so much in the locker and just does enough. I'm not sure he really enjoyed the ground, and he looks rock-solid after that."
Diamond Harry is likely to seek sanctuary in novice chases. Funnily enough, it was the presence of Kauto Star and Denman in his stable that helped drive Big Buck's back over hurdles. As What A Friend showed, there are always other fish to fry.
Turf Account: Chris McGrath
King Of Defence (9.20 Kempton)
Has taken well to polytrack, chasing home a flourishing rival at Lingfield last time after being caught behind a slow pace. Runs off the same mark and had previously proved himself effective round here.
Next best
Bertoliver (7.20 Kempton)
Showed signs of revival over an extra furlong last time, managing fourth despite being hampered early. Best over this trip, he is now down to a lower mark than for his last win at Chester in August.
One to watch
Carlitos (N A Twiston-Davies) laid solid foundations over hurdles last season and shaped well on his chasing debut in a novices' handicap at Kempton on Boxing Day, going well for a long way before fading into fourth on his first start since April.
Where the money's going
Solwhit is 4-1 from 5-1 with Coral for the Smurfit Champion Hurdle after beating the former champion Sublimity at Leopardstown yesterday, and Charles Byrne's five-year-old is now joint-favourite with Zaynar for Cheltenham in March.

The origin of units of measurement is said to be related to the dimensions and functions of the human body in some way or other. It makes the world more convenient for us, and literally gives it a human scale.
This is why we count to 10 and have a decimal system, for example. We have 10 fingers – well, eight fingers and two thumbs – and so a decimal system is a natural way of counting the world around us.
In fact, as any mathematician will tell you, a duodecimal system based on counting to 12 would be far more useful because we can divide 12 into equal parts so much more easily than 10. This is why the old British currency of pounds, shillings and pence was quite logical. If we had an extra couple of fingers then no doubt the decimal coinage system would never have gained a foothold.
The same is said to be true of other units of measurement that have a basis in the human body. A second in time is supposed to represent the interval between heart beats, the metre or yard the equivalent of a pace of two steps, and a foot represents, well, a foot. But what about a kilogram?
Professor George Efstathiou of Cambridge University offered a possible explanation last week at a presentation in London on the latest European Space Agency mission to study the cosmos. A kilogram is another unit of measurement chosen for our convenience, he suggested. "It's the total amount of pasta you can eat in one go," he said.
Campaign for caterpillars
The Met Office is predicting a hot, dry summer, which is a rare piece of good news in these plague-ridden times. It's also good news for our native butterflies, which have had to cope with two successive years of wet, cold washouts.
Our intrepid Environment Editor has highlighted the plight of our native butterfly species in his excellent coverage of the problem. The insects themselves are monuments of natural beauty and no civilised human being could argue with the need to protect these exquisite creatures.
As part of the campaign, I suggest that we should also see beauty in caterpillars – because it is almost certainly at this stage of their delicate lifecycles that they are at their most vulnerable. Yet so many people view caterpillars as ugly vermin. If only they could be made to realise that without them we wouldn't have the beauty of their adult forms.
Pity the ferret
Everyone's talking about pigs and birds in relation to influenza but no one seems to remember the poor old ferret. This vicious-but-cuddly darling of the northern working man's trouser leg also suffers from flu, just like humans. The trouble is, their symptoms are so similar to ours that they are used as laboratory models of the human disease.

Argh! This is a really confusing API. Cardinality is the dimension of the vector. Size is the number of storage elements that you want to have in the vector initially, much in the style of ArrayList where you specify how many elements to pre-allocate.

They had been using the new contraceptive device Persona, launched six months ago, a small monitor that measures a woman's hormone levels and indicates when she can make love without conceiving.
It was hailed as the biggest breakthrough in contraception since the Sixties and the Pill (it was once said that the three greatest benefits for women this century were the Pill, the vote and the washing machine).
But those who think the Pill is the be-all and end-all of contraception are wrong. It is only one of a long line of devices the human race has invented to avoid conception. Attempting to distance sex from procreation has led humans over the centuries to embrace crocodile dung, dried beaver testicles, poisonous mercury and Coca-Cola.
It has been argued that the first recorded attempt at contraception goes as far back as the book of Genesis. There, Onan tried to avoid family complications when asked to sleep with his brother's wife by practising the withdrawal method. For his efforts he "displeased the Lord wherefore he slew him", according to Genesis 38.
But the earliest recorded contraceptive invention dates back as far as 1850BC, according to the Family Planning Association. An Egyptian papyrus of the time detailed ingredients for a vaginal pessary made of honey, soda, crocodile dung and a gummy substance. History does not relate how effective it was - or indeed whether any man was attracted to users as a result.
A few centuries later the fashionable had dumped the dung for a more aesthetically pleasing medicated lint vaginal sponge, which was soaked in a mixture of acacia, dates and honey: a scientific combination - acacia ferments into lactic acid, which is still in use as a spermicide today.
Intra-uterine devices (IUDs) also go back 3,000 years, when women used well-shaped pebbles, although by Casanova's time the more sophisticated were using a half lemon as a cervical cap. (Casanova, incidentally, ate 50 oysters for breakfast every morning and swore by British contraceptives, according to The Ultimate Irrelevant Encyclopedia.)
Even oral contraception is nothing new. Chinese women used to knock back mercury in small doses, whereas in Canada in the 16th century, women drank strong alcohol laced with ground beavers' testes.
Women in the remote Appalachian hills of Virginia and North Carolina are still reputed to crush seeds from cow parsley and mix it into a glass of water, which they drink immediately after having sex.
Tests on mice have shown that the seeds contain chemical compounds that block the production of progesterone, the hormone that prepares the uterus to receive and nurture the fertilised ovum.
Last year's visit of the Toronto-based History of Contraception Museum to Britain revealed some of the more bizarre contraceptive devices, which 64-year-old Percy Skuy has devoted the past 30 years to building up - including amulets made from the bone from the right half of a black cat, worn round the neck to ward off conception; dried weasel's testicle, strapped to the thigh; even a plug of wax from a mule's ear.
For a more modern alternative, a Harvard University study in 1969 found that Coke had sperm-killing properties. The study was commissioned after reports that the drink was often used as a douche in countries where contraceptives were in short supply. Diet Coke was found to be the most efficient of the Coke varieties for this purpose.
No discussion of contraception would be complete without that Johnny- come-lately, the condom. In fact, that's not true - the Egyptians used them, although their animal gut sheaths were not for contraceptive purposes but to prevent against injury and infection. It was also a way of judging the class of your lover, with different styles denoting different social status.
Condoms were allegedly given their name by Dr Condom, a court physician in the time of Charles II - who, judging by his many illegitimate offspring, did not always employ them. Highly prized ones were made of sheep gut with a pink ribbon round the end; in the 18th and 19th centuries pornography frequently decorated the most expensive.
It was not until 1843 and the invention of crepe rubber that the condom was transformed, and not until the Thirties that latex was used.
The most modern interpretation is perhaps Karl Machhamer's "liquid condom", in which liquid latex is applied. Instructions are much the same as for traditional condoms but some users complain it takes too long for the latex film to dry; the inventor recommends using a blow-dryer to speed the process up.
As a footnote, here is a lesson for linguists and those planning national birth control programmes. In 1976 a Dr T Healy wrote in the prestigious journal Science that contraception was playing a role in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in Scandinavia. While gonorrhoea had declined in Sweden it had not in Denmark. Dr Healy put this down to the fact that while the Swedes have a simple word, kondom, the Danish was svangerskabsforebyggende middel. The tongue-tied Danes bought fewer.

By shifting the burden of proofs to the user, a proof-carrying authorization (PCA) system can automatically enforce complex access control policies. Unfortunately, managing those proofs can be a daunting task for the user. In this paper we develop a Bash-like language, PCAL, that can automate correct and efficient use of a PCA interface. Given a PCAL script, the PCAL compiler tries to statically construct the proofs required for executing the commands in the script, while re-using proofs to the extent possible and rewriting the script to construct the remaining proofs dynamically. We obtain a formal guarantee that if the policy does not change between compile time and run time, then the compiled script cannot fail due to access checks at run time.

Yoel offers fixed-fee services backed by Avvo's satisfaction guarantee
Posted by Max
I was referred to Mo by our accountant. Mo did a great job on some contract work and I have referred him to other business partners.. All of them can recommend Mo and I will further work with him. Thank you Mo.
Posted by anonymous
Yoel recently helped me create and review various business documents for my company. His invaluable advice and commitment to his work allows me to fully recommend him without hesitation.
Posted by anonymous
My name is Anastasia and I am the owner of Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage LLC. In the process of my company's growth and expansion, I suddenly found myself a few weeks ago in need of a 1099 contractor agreement, and I needed it ASAP. As in, the very next day! I contacted the Law Office of Yoel Molina and his assistant put me in touch with Mo. I sent him what I had drafted up and he replied within a few hours with suggested revisions and clarifications, as well as a few insights I had not even considered. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of work he provided, especially considering the time crunch I put him in (sorry, Mo!). I definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a good contract attorney, and I will be calling him again for future work…hopefully in less of a rush next time!
