impact statement impact This study is ongoing so the `impact` is not yet apparent. By understanding the economics of fear we can identify the best targets for attack as those being identified with the greatest welfare loss to society. By understanding how consumers respond to risk we are advising on means of communication and resources required for recovery. Importantly we are coming to an understanding of the nature between the psychology of risk and food consumption choices;By understanding the spatial distribution of impact from a foot and mouth disease we can identify economic loss, resource allocations, and the value of public intervention. We are still analyzing data from experiments conducted in 2007. We have shown that even the threat of food contamination will lead consumers to reduce consumption, even if they do not realize it.
impact statement issue This project was initiated while I was at Rutgers University and was prompted by the events of September 11, 2001 and the fear of biological/chemical and other weapons of mass destruction believed to be held by terrorist organization. Initial research at the Food Policy Institute was at the request of the NJ Secretary of Agriculture. Funding ($2 million, shared with Rutgers) was provided by the USDA.
impact statement response In 2008 we advanced our research on several fronts. First we have completed the spatial modeling of biosecurity risks using foot and mouth disease as an example; We ran real life food experiments with 170 students to examine a number of theoretical games and also to determine the psychology of consumption using Avian Influenza; Third we are using the results from four surveys conducted between 2004 and 2006 on mad cow, terrorism, spinach, and avian influenza to determine patters of risk perception in consumption choices.
impact statement summary This research investigates the economics of fear and the impact of agroterrorism and biosecurity on the U.S. agricultural economy. There are three areas of emphasis. First, the economic impacts are postulated in theory as a symptom of what we term "consumer hysteresis", meaning that after a biosecurity event there is a time frame under which consumers or production will return to normal conditions. Second, we are investigating the impacts of diseases on U.S. trade. These include model simulations of foot and mouth disease and avian influenza. Third, we are studying the psychology of fear using measures of risk perception, risk communication, and political communication.

Here we go...
So i am getting closer to my decision on what deck to purchase.
So far its between the CDJ1000... The DNS3700 and the SL-DZ1200.
The DNS3700 is on top, following the SL-DZ1200 then the CDJ.
I love the moving platter idea so thats why they are on top. Although the SL-DZ1200 is an older deck so i am not sure how it compares to newer decks in terms of hardware... I have heard mixed things but they seem to be really cool.
The DNS3700 has a lot of function and is a newer deck so it might have newer hardware.
The CDJ 1000 mk2/mk3 are dubbed "Reliable" but thats it... Solid deck but thats not the deal breaker for me.
I am looking to scratch a bit and i love a large platter. I want something that is reliable, and something that is responsive. No lag in scratching or anything like that.

In the contemporary world of globalized interactions, knowledge of the languages, cultures, literatures, histories, and societies of any major world region is crucial for both scholarship and professional practice. This is especially true for the Middle Eastern region, whose influence is apparent in the politics, economics, security, and ideologies of the post 9/11 globe, as well as throughout history since the beginning of the archaeological record of the ancient Near East, through the classical, late antique, medieval, and modern periods. The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures (NELC) has taken on since its establishment in 1979 the mission to create and promulgate these knowledges about the region, which spans not just its core in the Near East / Middle East and North Africa, but also in Central Asia, South Asia, and the region's diasporas in Europe and North America.
As a cross-disciplinary, polyglot department focused on training students at all levels across the university for a wide range of careers (in international business, law, journalism, communications, translation, language teaching, government foreign service, military service, development, religious vocation, academia, etc.), NELC seeks to impart both language skills and an in-depth grasp of the cultural, literary, philosophical, and historical contexts of these societies.
Accordingly, the department teaches Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish, Hindi, Urdu, and Uzbek, as well as a range of ancient Semitic and non-semitic languages such as Akkadian, Aramaic, Syriac, and Phoenician – an offering unmatched by the majority of U.S. universities. Other courses at various levels, taught in English or the target language, cover literature, cultural history, anthropology, folklore, critical theory, linguistics, and language pedagogy – a diverse set of approaches reflecting a commitment to offer comprehensive training and to maintain the strong inter-departmental links with other faculty and students throughout the university.

(from both Mazis Haut and Bas where the vines total a remarkable 1.20 ha). A very deeply pitched nose that displays fresh red and dark berry fruit and floral aromas along with notes of the sauvage that continue over to the serious and very solidly structured big-bodied flavors. This is an impressively scaled wine yet the supporting tannins are relatively fine though quite dense and as such, the overall impression is one of robust power even if it is refined in its delivery. This is going to require a long cellar stay but it should be magnificent when it finally emerges. (1/ 2012)
Good deep red. Reduced aromas of game and silex reminded me of a Corton grand cru. Fat and sweet but a bit monolithic today compared to the Latricieres, without quite the same impression of inner-palate energy of delineation. Best today on the very long, thick, unflagging finish. This very large-scaled wine still needs more elevage. (2/ 2012)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.

These come out very moist. I found this on the back of a grocery store ad and made a few changes. The original called for 2 tsp of Thyme, 1/4 c of Parmesan, & 2 c of cornflakes. I measured after I dipped and found I had a good 1/2 c of mixture left so I cut the recipe back accordingly.* For those of you that are salt restricted- You might want to leave out the salt as there's probably enough in the Parmesan cheese. I just sprinkled a little salt over the bowl.I also extended the cooking time. The original time was 20 mins.Submitted by: NANADEB49

Delicious and easy main dish! Note: Nutritional info calculated is if you use ALL of the egg whites and chicken coating mixture, but you should have some of it left after coating the chicken breasts, so the nutritional counts will be lower than indicated by the recipe calculator.
These are so good - you eat the skin and all - they are crunchy, chewy, and very satifying. I have modified the recipe for cooking just 1 sweet potato, which is supposed to be 1 serving, but it actually serves 2 pretty nicely so nutritional info is based on 2 servings.Submitted by: JADARR

Rice, Ravens Ready To Move On Without Lewis and Webb
Rice, Ravens Ready To Move On Without Lewis and Webb
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
WBAL Radio
It's been a full day since Coach John Harbaugh made the official announcement at the Under Armour Performance Center.
"Two major things," Harbaugh started out by saying yesterday at his weekly press conference. "Webby [Lardarius Webb] does indeed have an ACL tear. So, he'll be out for the season. And Ray [Lewis] has a triceps tear, a complete tear. So, he'll be out for the season."
It wasn't shocking news. But it was news that still hit the Ravens defense hard.
Webb is having a Pro Bowl-caliber season and Lewis is the inspirational leader of both the defense and the team.
But the coach was trying to put a positive spin on the news.
"I feel great about our guys' chances to fill in," he said when asked about guys stepping up and filling in for Webbs' and Lewis' absences. "That's something that we've been able to do in the past. That's what you have to be able to do. Obviously, that's going to define what we are able to accomplish this year.
"That's something that we are going to need to do, from a leadership standpoint and from a playing standpoint. That's just something that we are going to have to get done."
Ray Rice joined Gerry Sandusky Tuesday for Ravens One On One and echoed those sentiments. Even though he plays on the opposite side of the ball, he knows how important Webb and Lewis are the team's success.
"We are professionals at this level," he said. "When you lose two guys like that, you don't replace those guys. You try and do the best you can until those guys get back.
"But it's next man up. That's what the game of football is all about. We trust someone can get the job done."
Rice doesn't believe for a second that Baltimore has seen the last of Lewis on the field. "The Ray I know won't want to leave on that note," he said. "He'll try to get back, if not this year, then next year. He won't be there physically for a while, but mentally he'll have guys in order."
But injuries or not, the Houston Texans are up next this Sunday.
"The goal is to get to 6-1," Rice added. "When we get to 6-1, we then get some rest (during the bye week) and go from there."
WBAL's coverage of the Ravens begins at 10am on Sunday.

Ann is on vacation this week. The dog is taking over the marketing blog!
I'm a 13 1/2 year old Australian shepherd. No, I'm not from Australia. But I am a sheepdog, so you know I'm a pretty smart dog and I think I know something about marketing, too. But I'm getting up there in years so I may be a bit off in my thinking. My owner, Ann Siegle, she's a graphic designer, I know this only because she likes to draw a lot, and she does things on the computer a lot. A whole lot. She has this thing called Pinterest that she spends a lot of time on. I only care because there are photos there of other dogs. OTHER DOGS!! Can you believe it? I am the only dog she will ever need (at least for now), why is she looking at other dogs?
This week, she's spending a lot of time reading things and doing math. Reading things she says that you all want to know about. Like how to get more fans on Facebook and help you so that more than 27% of them see what you write. I don't really see the point all of this. Facebook, whatever that is, is not smelly.
I suggested that tasty mackeral that she puts my medicine in as a better way of attracting people. It's smelly. I can smell mackeral from a mile away, can't you?
That is the thing of it all - if humans want to attract someone else, make it smelly! I know you all like things like lavendar and vanilla, but I prefer salmon, and maybe roasted pork. Good smells attract attention because you know just how good they're going to taste. They give you a preview of the experience you're about to have. For people, I know, you like to experience first with your eyes, so in that case, use a photo to attract attention and preview the experience. If you can give them a taste of the experience, they'll click through (or come in).
My owner, she has meetings sometimes, so I get to go bark at the door and tell her they've arrived. It is my job. I also sleep on the stairs and look very cute. My head is very soft and many of you like that. So I do a good job at greeting around this place. If I do a good job, maybe you'll return and you'll bring that kind of people-treat my owner loves: a check. In turn, she will buy me food and treats. It's a fair deal. So, come with checks!
Right now, I'm going to take a nap. Hey, I'm 88 years old in dog years. I deserve a nap.

Fingerprints of God
Look at this lovely woman of God. She is beautiful in every way!!
I've known her ever since I can remember.
Apparently at the age of 3 we were already inseparable
We've witnessed each other's life through many ups and downs over the years. And became stronger though them. It was God's perfect way of molding us into who we are today. And who YOU are my Friend brings much glory to Him every day.
I wish I was there today to celebrate your life with you.
Then I could sing this Steven Curtis Chapman song to you in person
Yes. I can definitely see God's fingerprints all over your life.
"You're a masterpiece that all creation quietly applauds." And I know He has an amazing plan for you!!!! I feel soooo blessed to watch it unfold from the very first row!!
Because "God's not through. No! In fact, He's just getting started"
I am thankful for your life, but I'm even more excited to be able to call you "my sister" now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today. And every day.
Boldog Szülinapot draga Brigim!!!!
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous — and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." Psalm 139: 13-16

Some may call a one-win season forgettable, but a group of Fort Osage seniors insists there's a reason to remember it.
High schools
Fort Osage seniors have come long way since losing as freshmen
November 22
By SAM McDOWELL
The Kansas City Star
In 2009, the Fort Osage freshman team endured one of its worst years in the program's history. The Indians lost their first eight games – most of them blowouts — before knocking off Hickman Mills' freshman team with a final-drive touchdown in the season finale.
The lost season isn't necessarily unmentionable these days, but it's not exactly often discussed either.
"I wouldn't really say we were embarrassed, but it wasn't much fun," said senior Branden Winters, now a starter for the Indians who was a member of the 2009 freshman team. "What I remember about that team is we never wanted to quit no matter how bad we were.
"That's probably why we're here today."
That sure seems like a long time ago now.
Three years later, that 2009 freshman class is now the backbone of a Fort Osage varsity squad that will play for the Class 5 state championship tonight against Kirkwood. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 inside the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
If that type of progression is hard for you to believe, well, you're not alone.
"I thought we would get better because we had some athletes," senior Joseph Tuimaseve said. "But I never imagined we'd make it this far."
Among this year's team, nearly a dozen starters are seniors. Only one — quarterback Steven McBee — was moved up to JV as a freshman, while the rest suffered through the one-win freshman campaign. This year's Indians, by contrast, take a 12-1 record into tonight's showdown.
So how, exactly, does that happen? Believe it or not, it all started with that one victory to prevent a winless regular season.
"We had kids crying they were so happy," Fort Osage coach Ryan Schartz said. "It was huge. If for nothing else, it kept a few of them interested in football."
The varsity team, meanwhile, played for a state championship in 2009, though Fort Osage lost to Webster Groves.
During the middle of his preparation for a week nine game, Schartz took a break to attend that freshman game against Hickman Mills. He spoke to the team after the victory, ensuring the players it would get better.
They believed it, he remembers. As for him...
"I don't know if I necessarily believed it," Schartz said with a laugh. "But I had to keep them positive."
It's the last time Schartz needed to give that speech.
A year later, in 2010, the same group made up the nucleus of an undefeated JV team. The following fall, several players performed key roles for Fort Osage, which reached the Class 5 quarterfinals.
Now seniors, that same class is playing for a state title tonight behind a dominate defense that has posted seven shutouts in 13 weeks and an offense that is averaging 370 yards per game.
"With all the success we've had, it's kinda crazy to think about that (freshman season)," Winters said. "I didn't think we would improve this much, but we have, and it's awesome."

Investigating rankings in Google's search results pages is part of every SEO's daily chores. From time to time, the odd ranking sticks out like a sore thumb. With sleeves rolled up and my best black hat on, let's try to find out what's happening here.
The keyphrase we're looking at is building jobs. That top result looks a little strange - no mention of the keyphrase in the meta title, page content, or URL begin to raise a suspicious eyebrow. Ok, it's in the description but it just feels a bit wrong. Is this a clever link strategy or a downright dodgy link strategy? Let's dig a notch deeper:
Here's the offending search results page of the google results page for "building jobs" -- the top result looks fishy to me.
How is this website ranking for a phrase that doesn't appear in its content and meta tags?! Well, let's start by looking at their backlinks. Most of those links are using a noarchive meta tag in their page source..
Check out this page. If you were to check out the chached text version of the same page, you would see these links near the bottom of the page: ("BusinessLink Derbyshire Engineering Vacancies Web Site Design Derby Construction Vacancies") - hmmmm!
Those links are hidden! If you check out the page itself or the full, non text cached version the links are just not there, plain and simple. Here's a snapshot of the div in the source code: (note the black arrow)
I'll wager there are many more examples of this to be found if you investigate all of the backlinks pointing to our domain (and their friends) in question and the domains highlighted in those cached text versions!
What I have found is that over time, those hidden links tend to disappear and reappear. Something tricky is definitely going on, as many of those backlinks don't appear to have a link featured on the page at all.
I'll add a disclaimer now - obviously, not all of these links are in hidden divs. Many are on "links" pages, which is sort of ok if that kind of thing floats your boat. But from what I've hopefully demonstrated here is that regardless of a spam report filled out by yours truly and a LOT of waiting, this network of websites is still in the index.
Is anyone brave enough to deploy some dynamic div links layers across their network of websites?
Richard Baxter is Founder and Director of SEOgadget.co.uk, a UK SEO Consulting firm. Follow him on Twitter and Google Buzz...
Nice post Richard
BTW: any idea why I submitted a new post to youmoz some days ago and it is still waiting for approval?
oki, sorry.
Just wanted to know as it was weird :D I always had my posts approved in 36 hours at most :D
Sorry for not being patient :$
It seems Google doesn't do anything about hidden links.
View the source of williampennu.com and you'll see 40 hidden links at the bottom of the page. I reported one of the sites on the list in December and Google hasn't taken it out of the index and it still ranks highly for the same term. All 40 of those sites have the same group of links hidden in DIV tags.
Yeah... to boldly rank where no site has ranked before.... :-)
But seriously, I am getting lost and the robots are not smart enough to detect intention... so they select a certain programming pattern and simply punish it. Dropdown menus are a perfect example... it is not tricky functionality and in some way was created to please the robots once before all links were behind javascript...
So developers came up with a better way and they called it SEO freindly drop downs
I guess the frontier is the intention :-)
Is anyone brave enough to deploy some dynamic div links layers across their network of websites?
Nah, I must admit I am not that brave :)
That's a great find and I wish Matt Cutts (does Matt Cutts manages his reputation by following his name being mentioned?) to come and explaine that (this might work better than your spam report after all ;) )
I feel for you, Richard. I've got a client's competitor that's driving me nuts because they seem to be trapped in circa-2000 tactics and getting away with it (including commented-out text, keyword-loading, blatant link farming, etc.). The tricky part, as some wise SEOs have pointed out to me, is figuring out: Are they succeeding because of these tricks, or in spite of them?
Richard, I have seen numerous similar websites relishing a PR of 7+ with the help of hidden back links from the .gov and .org websites. And I firmly believe Google is incapable of finding hidden links and anchor texts at the moment. These black hats really make Google look so dumb and stupid. Yucks !!
I would like to see a more detailed post on this subject. BTW
Interesting find
The other benefit to them doing this is that they can push the prime keywords for more than one site in their network at the same time, so in this example they can push both the construction site and the engineering site from one page.
Replicating this method accross all sites which is clearly what they are doing means they can drive significant traffic accross the network in both less time and without the effort that other sites have to put in.
The concept clearly works well as the entire network ranks all over Google for all the of the sites without the history and individual back links to back it up.
For those that dont mind taking risks in google this find proves that the concept works and google can be gamed effectively. I have to say that sites using hidden links are hard to find most of the time which is probably why some webmasters like this one will take the chance that they will go undetected.
It will be interesting to see if this continues - my money is on the fact that Matt Cutts is a) unlikely to even read this thread and b) take any action if he does - Do Google these days take that much notice?
Interesting thread all the same

Great Lakes: Rehabilitation for women and children affected by conflict
The Great Lakes region has been deeply marked for years by regional wars and numerous internal conflicts. Alarmed in 2002 by news from its network of local partners about the rape of more than
2,000 women by combatants from different armed groups, the SDC provided immediate support for the spontaneous efforts of the women of Burundi to come to the aid of 500 raped sisters. The aid
immediately provided consisted of medical care and psychosocial support in Bujumbura. More innovative solutions were subsequently adopted.

Ellerby Lab Members
Lisa Ellerby |
Mahru An Mahru came to the Buck Institute with a broad background in cellular and molecular biology, having studied HIV and influenza viruses at the University of Washington before moving to UC San Diego where he received a Ph.D. for work studying molecular mechanisms governing synapse development in mice. In joining Dr. Ellerby's lab at the Buck, he seeks to apply his experience in these fields towards a better understanding of therapeutic approaches to Huntington's Disease. One primary approach applies ongoing advances in stem cell biology to develop patient-specific pluripotent cells as a tool for studying the mechanisms of Huntington's Disease pathology, as well as a potential avenue for cell replacement therapeutics in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's Disease. |
Akilah Bonner |
Francesco De Giacomo Francesco De Giacomo received his BS in Molecular Cell Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Dominican University of California. Francesco's work in the Ellerby lab has consisted of characterizing new fragment mouse models of Huntington's disease, novel caspase-6 inhibitors and neo-epitope antibodies to caspase cleavage sites of huntingtin. Francesco currently helps manage multiple projects for the Ellerby lab that look at the systems biology, proximal events and bioinformatics analysis of Huntington's disease. |
Bachir Hadid Bachir graduated from UC Berkeley with a major in Molecular Cell Biology with emphasis in Neurobiology. As a George Miller Scholar, he conducted research on Alzheimer's disease at UC Berkeley, where he observed changes on Beta Amyloid protein levels by using dominant negative mutation on VPS4 A, and VPS4B. At the Alzheimer's Service of the East Bay, he worked with patients to better his understanding of the impact of the disease in different stages firsthand. At the Buck Institute, he is currently working on neurogenesis using a combination of growth factors in Huntington's disease for his master's degree. |
Jennifer Holcomb Jennifer's work primarily focuses on the development of novel targets for the treatment of Huntington's disease using an array of cell, murine and post mortem human tissue in neurodegenerative disease models. She screens the Druggable Genome siRNA library to identify novel targets that modulate mutant huntingtin toxicity. Once targets have been identified, small molecule inhibitors are tested in cell-based models and advanced to animal models if shown to be efficacious. A unique protein identified in our screen was published in Neuron, titled "Matrix Metalloproteinases are modifiers of Huntingtin Proteolysis and Toxicity in Huntington Disease." |
Robert O'Brien Robert O'Brien received his BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Vermont, where his undergraduate research training focused on forward and reverse genetic techniques to study the symbiotic relationship between legumes and the soil bacterium Rhizobium. He received his PhD from the University of California, San Diego, where he used mass spectrometry to study post-translational regulation of proteins in embryonic stem cells. His work in the Ellerby Lab focuses on understanding the role that post-translational modifications of the protein that causes Huntington's Disease (huntingtin) play in the toxicity of the protein. Specifically, examining interactions of caspase cleavage products of huntingtin in mouse models of HD and the role of acetylation in the turnover of huntingtin in cell culture-based models of the disease. |
Dorina (Theodora) Papanikolaou I have had a strong interest in neuroscience very early in my studies. After pursuing a masters degree at the International Max Planck Research School in Tübingen, Germany and an internship at University of California, Irvine, I decided to focus on stem cell research during my PhD at the University of Connecticut. My work emphasized understanding the differentiation mechanisms of stem cell populations towards a dopaminergic phenotype. Currently I am involved in a study testing a compound with beneficial effects for a mouse model of Huntington's disease, which might be a candidate in future therapeutic drug trials. Our goal is to optimize the structure of the compound and dissect its mechanistic action, which will ultimately allow us to identify the downstream targets and useful clues for Huntington's disease pathogenesis. In addition, I am studying the role of FOXO, a molecule regulating lifespan, in the context of spinocerebellar ataxia 7. Understanding more about longevity pathways is vital, since they might harbor the key to preventing neurodegenerative disorders. With a battery of gain and loss of function experiments, I found changing levels of FOXO promotes degradation or accumulation of ataxin-7 and toxicity in an in vitro cerebellar model of spinocerebellar ataxia. |
Khan Zafar Khan received his masters in toxicology and PhD in neurotoxicology at Hamdard University, New Delhi. During his Masters, he studied neurobehavioral toxicity of organophosphates and surveyed bangle industries. His interest in understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases led him to study neuroprotection in a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson's disease during his PhD. Later at UCD, he studied dopamine metabolism and its toxicity in dopminergic neurons. Currently, Dr Zafar's research focuses on genetic modulation of adult stem cells, understanding the proteolysis of Htt in Huntington Disease and carrying out preclinical therapeutic studies in HD. |
Ningzhe Zhang Ningzhe received a Ph.D. degree from University of Rochester where he studied function and development of glial cells and their progenitors in rodent central nervous systems. After joining Dr. Ellerby's lab at Buck in 2008, he continued the study in neuroscience with a focus on the neurodegenerative disease: Huntington's disease (HD). He is using multiple systems, including animal models and cell models, to uncover disease mechanisms and to search for potential therapies for HD. One important part is to utilize human induced pluripotent stem cells to model the disease, make genetic correction and eventually replace cells lost in HD. |

I am a student physician and as such am on my feet all day! These are the cure to sore feet and a sore back! Posture is very important in good posture and these support good posture. I absolutely love them! One tip... Buy a size up if you have tall feet as they really don't stretch as most leather shoes do.
5th pair, supah comfy!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
just ordered my 5th pair. I am on my feet all day, everyday, and swear by these! i keep two pair in good condition and alternate between them so they can air out, etc. never had a problem with them! i have had a pair of sanita ( a competitor) and feel that the build and materials of a dansko is of higher quality. Definitely worth trying a pair on or ordering two sizes if unsure. I get about two years out of a pair before I replace them, mainly because of how gross they look on the outside! If you have a higher arch, this may not be the shoe for you. Again, worth trying a pair on before hand.
Not so great
Member since
I'm not sure if the fact that Sanita's used to make these and now they don't makes the difference, or if they just aren't for everyone, but I could not see getting comfort out of them. Maybe I will get some from the Danish makers next time. I have a pair of Alegrias for work (hospital nursing), and they win over these hands down.
So comfy, but...
Member since
These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I stand on my feet 10-12 hrs a day in a professional kitchen. The only shoes I swear by.
BUT, ...these are not the same shoe from a few years back. These are not the original quality Danish shoes. Dansko split with their manufacturer, Sanita, & now have the shoes outsourced(China, I think). These shoes do not last as long as they used to.
I have had the both soles split from side to side on 2 different pairs in less than a year( 3 months & 5 months apart).
I give it 4 stars only due to Backcountry.com. Their customer service & guarantee policy is the best around. Each time they have made it right without any problems.
Thank you backcountry! You guys rock.
Lots of variation in a size 42
Member since
Bottom line: love the shoes, great Backcountry service (as always), need to try them on locally to find a pair of 42s that fits.
These would have been my 3rd pair of Dansko's in size 42 that I've had. And I've bought them all online from various retailers. This pair was just too tight. I tried wearing them at work for 3 weeks hoping that they'd stretch just enough so that my feet would stop getting numb from arterial smooshing. Nope. I then ordered another pair from different online retailer that had a brick and mortar store locally that I could return to if these didn't work out. Those were too big. Go figure!
So I'm going to return those locally and keep trying on pairs till I find one that is just right. Strange. I wonder if this has anything to do with Dansko changing their factory from Poland to China.
Love those Dansko's.... mostly
Member since
Well, I've had them for years. And I finally ordered another pair, after my first pair had lasted since the last Bush administration. When I ordered the same size this time, though, I discovered they'd added reinforcement over the arch. The only problem: where once there was a little 'give' when putting them on, now there's none.
The upside: the clogs would probably last until 2029 before blowing out.
The downside: if the clogs don't fit out of the box, they might never fit.
Therefore: pick your size wisely.
UGH! not a fan...
Member since
Although they look great, these shoes hurt the crap out of my feet! Not the heel, where one would expect, but I had pain at where the top of the shoe hit the top of my foot. They were so rigid--it felt like it was grinding the bone. I've heard other people say they love them, but they are just not for me. Too bad!
super comfortable
Member since
these things are awesome.... im on my feet all day in the ER and im not as tired, and my feet dont hurt as much as they used to.
i started wearing them for errands too since they're nice
even though they look plain, their usefulness is unmatched.
Hurt A Lot
Charlie P.
Member since
I think I may have bought them too small so make sure you get the size right. after wearing them for two days I realized they pinched a nerve in the top of my foot turning the top of my foot numb. The rocker sole is awesome I just wish I could wear them more. I am a waiter so I am very active in them every night. I am wearing them around to try to stretch them out before I start working in them again so we will see how that goes. Other than being very tight on the top of my foot they are comfy.
Member since
I had the same problem, but if I got a size bigger I feel like they would fall off. Wore them for 10+ 12 hour shifts in addition to break in time, and still no better.
Awesome and Ouch
Charlie P.
Member since
Very good looking shoes, the nonslip seems to work really well. My biggest complaint is the amount of break in needed. I bought a size up like they recommend but they were still to tight on the top of my foot to the point where a nerve got pinched. I am currently stretching them with cans so we'll see how that works.

dansko is a danish company that is strictly export. i lived in denmark for 2 years and they dont even carry them there. it's 2 words put together in danish. "dansk" and "sko" which translates into danish shoe. they are super comfy and great for yard work or running to the store in your pj's...i prefer the wooden soles to all of em. feel great on the arches.
Are the shoes sold here normal width? I'm...

Are the shoes sold here normal width? I'm expecting that they are, however, I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Dansko Stapled clog outsoles are designed to be suitably slip resistant in workplace environments where excesses of vegetable oils and animal fats are present. Slip resistant tests have been carried out by SATRA, the world's leading research and technology organization for the footwear industry.
Too tight in the instep
Member since
I found these clogs to be too tight across the instep. They never loosened up sufficiently to be comfortable. I would up buying a pair of Sanita Professional clogs (the company that made Dansko's on contract until recently), they were comfortable from the start.
J.J. Stocking
Member since
Dansko has changed the Professional for the better. If you look at the old manufacture and the new you will notice that the new is wider for more stability. They also added more rocker bottom to improve the movement of the shoe. Internally they added more cushioning under the heel for more all day comfort. The support is the same as the old manufacture but with much needed improvements to provide a more comfortable and more stable shoe. They still build them in the same manner that they always have been, Still hand made with the same materials just in a different factory. Danskos main focus is providing the best made product the can for the customer.
NOT the old Danskos!! Buyer Beware!!
Member since
I have 4 pairs of Danskos. One pair are the professional oiled in brown that I bought in early 2007. They are super wonderful and comfortable. So I bought some black ones this past Christmas. ('08) BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME SHOES!! THEY WERE TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!! I noticed my old ones were made in Poland whereas my new ones were made in China. So I called Dansko and found out that they CHANGED THEIR MANUFACTURERS!!! The shoes are not the same. I am sadly returning these shoes. :(
I also found out that their old manufacturers are now selling the old Dansko clog under a brand called SANITA. I'm getting ready to buy some Sanitas. I wish Back Country carried Sanita so that I could buy them from them. They are a great company and I hope to be a continued customer. Thank you!!

The Best Shoe for Longs Days on your feet
Member since
Ive been a chef for ten years and danskos are all ill wear. Im on probably my 8th or ninth pair. They take some getting used to and breaking in but the literally become an extension of your feet. My feet never hurt, legs never ache and, especially important, my back never hurts because they keep your posture correct. They are also surprisingly very nonslip.
cons: I rarely get more than a year plus out of them but i work 70-80 hrs. a week.
Buy these shoes
Member since
Dansko pros get more comfortable with wear. Assuming you buy 1/2 size up from your normal shoe size, they'll start a little snug with medium socks; they break in, and after a few days you'll want to never take them off.
Looks? They're clogs, people. They're functional. Looks are in the eye of the beholder, and, unless you're a doctor or chef, not the usual type of shoe. I think they look good; but your mileage may vary. Bottom line: If you care that much about how you look, go for style, not comfort and practicality.
Final note: They're especially great for airline travel, especially long-haul flights where you absolutely don't want snug lace-ups.
He did not like how they felt or looked
Member since
I brought two pair of your clogs to work in one for myself the other for my boyfriend on looks and the fact that your heel comes out of the shoe as you walk he did not like , so I returned his, it took a minute for me to become use to mine but I love them, the only problem is that when I wear them with thicker socks to keep my ankles warm the shoe is to tight
Not Dansko-ing with the Stars
Member since
This is my second pair of "Dansko Oiled Casual Clogs" and it may be me, but with both pairs one or the other of my ankles buckles unexpectedly every once in a while. The clogs are comfortable, but I wouldn't risk wearing them out of the house and won't buy another pair.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game Review
This disappointing film tie-in transforms the magical into the mundane.
The Good
- Branching story provides replay value
- Some nice-looking environments
- Melee kills are fun
- Conquest mode is a neat idea.
The Bad
- Conquest mode is ultimately all but useless
- The story and characters stink
- The action gets tedious
- Absolutely awful vehicles.
Bigger doesn't mean better. Developer Ubisoft Montreal disregarded this mantra when creating James Cameron's Avatar, delivering a mediocre game loaded with unnecessary padding, rather than a tight and enjoyable package that could have gotten players excited about the upcoming film of the same name. In fact, if you're eagerly anticipating the upcoming Avatar movie, it's probably best that you avoid this bland and overlong third-person shooter altogether, because there's nothing fantastical or compelling about its story or characters. That isn't to say that Avatar is all bad. A branching story featuring two disparate factions makes this a two-games-in-one experience, so if you like wringing the last drop out of your $50, the single-player campaign might keep you busy for 15 hours or so. Unfortunately, while a few of those hours are entertaining, Avatar's action is too bland and tedious to justify the game's length, and a variety of bugs and bizarre design elements put a further damper on the fun.
Avatar takes place on the planet Pandora, which the human-controlled Resources Development Administration (RDA) is stripping of its resources--much to the dismay of Pandora's indigenous population, the blue-skinned Na'vi. Meanwhile, the RDA has established a way of transferring a human's consciousness into an artificially created human/Na'vi hybrid called an avatar. You play as Ryder, an RDA operative who soon finds himself (or herself, if you choose a female persona) in over his head as he discovers the consequences of the RDA's destructive presence on Pandora. About an hour into the campaign, you'll be faced with a choice: side with the RDA, or live as an avatar and take your chances with the Na'vi. Yet no matter which path you meander down, you'll meet a series of unmemorable characters, played by unexceptional voice actors who deliver their poorly written lines without a trace of enthusiasm or urgency.
More disappointingly, the game assumes a familiarity with the nature of avatars. Cutscenes are abrupt, and moments that should carry weight, such as the first time you enter the body of your giant blue avatar, are presented without a shred of wonder. Your own character embraces that same matter-of-fact approach, reciting the dialogue in monotone, even as events unfold that would make most folks' jaws drop. With few exceptions, humans come across as resource-hungry simpletons, while the Na'vi are reduced to monosyllabic native stereotypes. And no matter which faction you align with, the flabby ending sequence will make you wonder why you bothered to see the story through. The blend of sci-fi and fantasy seems conceptually solid, but the ideas were given a treatment so cavalier that it's impossible to care about the fate of this world, of its people, and of your own character.
You won't find any more magic in Avatar's world than in its story, because though it too seems conceptually solid, it's similarly diminished by a general lack of energy. Pandora is at first sight a beautiful place, covered in lush foliage and teeming with beasts both savage and submissive. If you follow the RDA route, some of the monstrous plants will even spew poisonous fumes at you or knock you over with a powerful swipe of their leaves (really). The environments are attractive in the way most jungles are, and sights of flying beasts overhead and winsome waterfalls in the distance make Pandora's beauty simultaneously inviting and imposing. Yet over time, the environments lose their allure. Dark greens and darker greens melt into each other, and the visuals start to feel heavy, which will make you long for a change of scenery. A few of the areas you visit provide much-needed variety, but even so, the atmosphere grows wearisome and eventually wears out its welcome.
Each of Pandora's explorable regions is relatively large, and missions often involve traveling long distances to get to your next objective. Along the way, you'll run into a number of different types of enemies that seek to destroy you. If you side with the Na'vi, you have a few instruments of death to keep you well protected. Your default bow will likely be your go-to weapon. However, the snap-to targeting on the console versions has been ditched on the PC, so bows are not much fun to use because it can be tough to spot camouflaged RDA foes amid all the green. You can also sport a machine gun, though it's rather feeble, so you're better off replacing it with another choice, such as the enormous spiked club, which is good for mowing down a few viperwolves at once. In fact, melee combat leads to Avatar's most consistently enjoyable kills: it can be a lot of fun to cartwheel toward your target and slice him up with your dual blades. You equip four weapons at a time, but you can switch them out for other available options, and over time, your weapons level up and you gain access to better armor. Leveling up isn't a game-changing mechanic--your core abilities remain more or less the same--but there's still something rewarding about rising to the next tier of weaponry.
If you go the way of the RDA instead, you won't wield any melee weapons and will instead shoot your way to victory. You've got a pair of pistols to get you through if the better guns run out of ammo, but they're all but useless; luckily, your shotgun, flamethrower, and other weapons seem appropriately powerful, if not exactly satisfying to use. Enemies that melt into the background and inconsistent hit detection make it feel like you're spraying bullets around willy-nilly much of the time, and humanoid enemies are too stupid to make shooting them exciting. Your foes often will ignore comrades falling over dead right in front of them, engage harmless creatures and ignore you as you pick them off, and walk directly into walls and continue to walk in place. Not that AI characters are the only ones prone to technical weirdness. You might get stuck in a crevasse while flying a banshee, fall into an inescapable fissure, or dismount from a direhorse directly into the geometry of the plant right next to it and be unable to get out.

U.S. Bank Introduces iPad App |
Written by Alan Maginn |
Wednesday, 16 May 2012 15:40 |
U.S. Bank recently introduced a new iPad app, joining the growing number of firms across the financial services industry that supports the device. The public site Mobile App page was updated to include the new iPad app in addition to the pre-existing iPhone, Android and Blackberry formats the app is currently available for. A "Get The App Now" link produces a pop-up window with a barcode that clients can scan with their phone to be directed to the iTunes App Store. Below, a Learn More link directs users to a new iPad App informational page. Public Site Mobile App Page The new iPad App informational page uses the same format and layout as U.S. Bank's pre-existing app informational pages. The Bank Like Never Before section in the center of the page informs users that they can remotely deposit checks, send money, manage accounts and pay bills with the new iPad app. Below, the firm provides a link to the pre-existing public site Internet Bill Pay page, where users can learn more about the Bill Pay feature and watch several demos. The Get The App Now section at the bottom of the page provides clients with a QR code and an iTunes App Store link, allowing clients to download the new app. |
