Nine pieces of greenstone were found at a Glenorchy address
on Sunday by police operating under a search warrant.
Sergeant Keith Newell, of Queenstown, said police, acting on
information from the public, seized various sizes and
qualities of the stone.
Greenstone is found in the South Island and belongs to Ngai
Tahu, who are permanent guardians of the stone.
Police would not say what the charges were, only that
inquiries would be continuing.

Louisbourg 1758: Wolfe S First Siege (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Osprey's study of James Wolfe's siege of Louisbourg during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Louisbourg represented a major threat to Anglo-American plans to invade Canada. Bypassing it would leave an immensely powerful enemy base astride the Anglo-American lines of communication - Louisbourg had to be taken. Faced with strong beach defences and rough weather, it took six days to land the troops, and it was only due to a stroke of daring on the part of a young brigadier named James Wolfe, who managed to turn the French beach position, that this was achieved. The story is largely based on firsthand accounts from the journals of several participants, including French Governor Drucour's, whose excellent account has never been published.

I've was trying to add a simple little form on my site to do a bit of data capture. Nothing too complicated - just getting visitors first name, last name and email address and then saving it to a table in my DB.
Here's the line of code I'm using to do the insert.
$wpdb->insert('signup', array(fname => $_POST['fname'], lname => $_POST['lname'], email => $_POST['email']), array( '%s', '%d'))
When I check the results in the DB, the fname and email fields work perfectly - they get the correct values from the form. However, the lname field always ends with a value of 0.
What baffles me is that if I output the $_POST variables before and after the insert, they are all correct. All of them show the values that were submitted from the form.
I've checked the structure of the DB fields as well, all 3 are Varchar(50), latin1_general_ci and I don't think lname is a reserved word or anything.
Any ideas why the $_POST['lname'] variable always seems to end up being inserted as 0?

Alright I admit it it I am a nOOb when it comes to creating a skin. I have been working with dashboards for a while and I have become rather proficient at it. I think now its time I give making skins a try, but I have no (read: absolutly no) idea how to go about doing it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I have all of the programs that people have created their skins with but thats about as far as I have gotten. Thanks in advanced.

You will need something hand like photoshop CS. Get to know it well. and Learn to be crafty with it. Also helps to have 3D Studio Max 6.0 I use it for some little 3d things I do in my skins.

Thank you for the quick reply....I already have the photoshop CS and I think I can use it fairly well, but after that how do I put it all together? I am at a loss on how I can add all the elements, menus, rss feeds, etc... I have some really good idea that I want to share with people.

Are you losing appointments to client shame? Pt. 1
By SteveLewit
United Advisors
So, while I'm getting my haircut, I'm thinking of a topic for my next article, and coming up empty. In desperation, I turn to my stylist, Wendy, and ask her if she has ever used a financial advisor. She says that she hasn't. When I ask her why, she responds, "Well, I could really use some help, but I'm afraid of being criticized or embarrassed because I haven't done a great job in managing and saving money. Actually I'm kind of ashamed about my situation."
Wendy's words hit me like a ton of bricks for two reasons: First, I am amazed at how honest and vulnerable she is willing to be by admitting her shame. Second, I am amazed that I've rarely considered the fact that people are not making appointments because they're ashamed of themselves and their current financial condition.
After giving this a lot of thought and doing some pretty deep research about shame, I've come to see that shame is a much bigger appointment hurdle than we may think. I invite you to step into my world to take a closer look.
Shame is the belief that somehow you are not good enough, and it comes in many forms — shame about appearance, job, living quarters, status, the car you drive, parenting, sports ability, disabled children, or past mistakes, just to name a few. There can be no doubt that many of our clients often have layers of shame about their finances which, in my many years in the business, I have never heard discussed or considered.
It is believed that the word "shame" comes from an older word that means, "to cover." And that is exactly what people do when they feel shame — they figure out ways to cover it up and hide it from others and, in fact, from themselves. So people will create facades that cover their shame. Those facades can come in the form of lying, exaggerating, narcissism, personality traits, misleading, etc. On a more global basis, it is agreed amongst psychologists that we build our entire persona around hiding our shame. In other words, our personalities are built, for a large part, to hide that piece of us that of which we feel ashamed, and that shame is often caused by something that happened to us when we were very young and which we cannot even remember today.
The question at hand is just how many of our clients feel that they have not done a good job of preparing for retirement or later life, or have made major financial mistakes in the past, and are ashamed to reveal that information to anyone, including a financial professional. These people will not make appointments, as their shame will do everything it can to keep itself hidden.
After all, if someone has significant financial issues of which they are ashamed, or is simply ashamed that they have not done even better, it will be quite difficult for that person to make themselves vulnerable enough to reach out for help, especially when they know that the person helping them will have to be brought in on their little (or big) secret.
Moreover, since we financial professionals do our very best to present ourselves as highly successful — nice suits, fancy offices, great PR making us seem like celebrities, etc. — we actually make it that much more difficult for a person who holds shame about their finances to visit with us. We are, in their eyes, just too good for them; so good that there is no way they are going to reveal to us just how bad they are in comparison.
So think about it, you do everything in your power to leave an impression of personal success and a high degree of professionalism when you meet clients at seminars, thinking that people want to know you are successful in your craft. And that makes a lot of sense. At the same time, however, you are also creating a bigger hurdle for those who are ashamed about their financial condition to make an appointment to see you. It's almost as if you are between a rock and a hard place — gaining some appointments but losing others at the same time.
Is it possible to open the doors to the ashamed client so that their shame does not hold them back from making appointments with you? I believe it is. In part two, I will show you how.

hi i am not seeing where to put the tracking ID and code...
Your settings are ok, the plugin automatically retrieves the UA-xxxxx id from the selected property (domain name) and inserts the corresponding tracking code.
I highly recommend updating to latest version, because there are some huge stability and speed improvements.
well, i found this:
Don't worry about your UA code, once you've selected the default domain in Google Analytics -> General Settings, the corresponding UA-YYYYY-YY code is automatically retrieved from your Google Analytics account and the tracking code is automatically generated and inserted in all your pages!
so i guess i need to wait a few days to see if it's working...

Two Teams, Two Different Futures
This is the first article of a potential new series of articles that looks into the recent past, followed by a view into what could have transpired in the future. Two teams, two different moves that could have changed the fabric of these teams for years to come.
The Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers had what was once one of the greatest dynasties of hockey. Since the glorious 80's the Oilers franchise has gone through good times and bad times. The peak was the Stanley Cup run in 2006 that saw them come one win away from winning Lord Stanley Cup.
The collapse of the team occurred quickly when the Oilers hit rock bottom this past season finishing an abysmal last place in the NHL after years of steadily getting further and further from the playoff picture.
A year after the Oilers' cup run is when the Oilers offered a 7 year, 50 million dollar offer sheet to Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres. According to nhlscap.com this would have equated to four 1st round selections being given to the Buffalo Sabres due to the fact contract total being 70 million divided by the number of years on the contract or by 5, depending on which number is smaller between the number of years or 5.
Regardless of the number used 5 or 7 the average salary for the restricted free agent offer sheet system for Vanek would have exceeded the roughly 6.5 million that gives four 1st round picks.
The Alternate Future: A Future of Vanek
Those are the same picks that became: Jordan Eberle, Magnus Svensson-Pajari and Taylor Hall. Plus an additional 1st round pick for the 2011 season. I know Oilers fans are in the dumps right now but would you rather Vanek or three of the best prospects in the NHL and a potentially top 5-10 draft pick next year.
The Toronto Maple Leafs a once proud franchise now the owner of the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL. The Leafs are trying to quickly rebuild into a playoff contender in the hopes to achieve what no other Leafs team could in over 40 years, bring the holy grail back to the Vatican of hockey.
To jumpstart the process the Leafs pulled the biggest trade last summer when they traded their 2010 1st (2nd overall) and 2nd (32nd overall) round selection and a 1st round selection in 2011 for Phil Kessel.
While many members of Leafs Nation were looking forward to Phil Kessel playing in Toronto many are still in shock over the price.
After this years' NHL draft and the selection of Tyler Seguin of the Boston Bruins using the Leafs' first rounder many fans are crying foul over the decision of Brian Burke. However these same fans are also highly anticipating the arrival of the Leafs' top prospect Nazem Kadri.
A gifted scorer and playmaker who brings a tenacious compete level, Leafs Nation see Nazem Kadri making the Leafs next year and potentially being the Leafs next big centreman.
The Alternate Future: A Future of Seguin
Earlier that summer the Leafs had the opportunity to acquire Phil Kessel for a different price.
Tomas Kaberle and the 7th overall selection (Nazem Kadri) for Phil Kessel.
While some may think this to be a better deal with the fact that they know Boston received Seguin this deal cannot be fully analysed yet due to the fact that neither player nor the other picks have played an NHL game to date. Add in the factor that the Leafs are currently actively "listening" to offers for Kaberle to swap for a top six forward and the variables assessing the trade change again.
It comes down to Kadri, an extra year of Kaberle(another year in top 10 Defensemen scoring) and whoever is acquired for Kaberle (if you believe the rumours, potentially a young player of note) for Seguin, Jared Knight and a future prospect.
These are moves that left a lasting impact on both teams and it is ultimately up to the organisations, the players, the media and the fans to prove which futures (the present or alternative) are better.

Our 2012 International Plastic Quilt Project in Schools exhibit opens on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 4-7 PM. It will remain until May 31st at the Gallery at Port City Development, 2156 N Williams Ave in Portland. Visiting hours are Monday thru Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The inspiring participation of this year's project has been a true microcosm-level demonstration of how plastic pollution is meeting the beginning of its end. Volunteer organizers from schools like those in West Linn, Wilsonville (click for article) will integrate the International Plastic Quilt Project into their Earth Day activities and invite their local communities to recognize the single-use nature of their daily lives. Artist volunteers like Cynthia Caudill in Hood River (click for Cynthia's blog entry and art images), Oregon will lead students in creating artwork out of single-use plastic. They hold a local exhibit of the project at their local library. Outside of Oregon, teachers, artists and others who are savvy with the "reduce, reuse, refuse plastics" message and brimming with creativity will add their own creative reuse talents to the Plastic Quilt Project, much like Trinity School in Columbus, Ohio. Take a look at the students at work!
These stories in addition to the experiences by youth at KIPP Raices Academy in Los Angeles, California (click for our blog on this site) will be another stepping stone. More youth will participate in meaningful ways to re-create ways of living that support and work in accordance with the life systems that give us clean air to breathe, nutritious food to eat and spaces for play.
In Portland, the International Plastic Quilt Project will reach more students than the past two years combined through after school programs like those at Lynch View, Faubion and Woodmere Elementary Schools. Teachers and artists will work together tailoring the Project into their classroom as they did at Winterhaven Elementary, Trillium Charter High School, and the Oregon School for the Deaf. Student volunteers like those of Sarah Morgan and Amy Steel at Portland State University will spend a class period helping students to recognize single-use plastic, learn about its effects and engage in making squares for the upcoming art exhibit, like at ACCESS Academy at Sabin Elementary School.
Our community will continue to help us to grow with donations to make our event complete with prizes, food and drink. Thanks to Spielworks, Goldrush Coffee Bar, Pine State Biscuits, Alberta Cooperative Grocery, Salt and Straw Ice Cream and Candy Babel.
The more youth who actively participate in recognizing and reigning in our single-use plastic consumption and working with creative reuse to increase interest in and examples of practical reuse, the less we'll cave into the fleeting value of our throw-away culture. Sound like a good plan?
One Response to The End of Single-Use Plastics!
Kyle Curtis says:
Is this still an active site/group? If so, you guys should consider bringing to Portland the Langs' work of art pieces made from pieces of plastic found and collected from California beaches: http://www.good.is/post/found-art-just-like-diamonds-plastics-are-forever/

WIP Dragon Commission by RavendarkCreationsWatch
©2012-2016 RavendarkCreations
Halfway point on dragon commission. One of three that will be a set for a cosplay.
Beautiful skin texture!
I love this sculpture! I'm starting on a stone carving of one of Denny's dragons in a similar pose. Did you do this direct from the TV images, or did you have more to work from? I'm having trouble finding pictures that give me a full 3D view of these animals.
Thanks very much I worked a bit from the tv images but worked a lot more from animal anatomy books in general and from my collection of fantasy art books. My newer creatures are way more correct as far as anatomy goes but these turned out ok. Good luck on the carving!
what are these guys sculpted out of, and how did you do the skin texture?
They are amazing!!!!!^_^
They are amazing!!!!!^_^
Thanks so much They are done in Monster Clay and then cast in resin. The scales are done by using hollow bronze and aluminum tubing and banging them into interesting shapes. You then use these as stamps, making sure not to have the surface too smooth. It's a matter of dozens of hours of texture work after you get the basic technique down. I think it's a neat effect though.
I am trying out super sculpey and have read that you have to prime it before you use acrylic paint. Could you suggest any primers? Ive read about gray gesso spray? Acrylic peeled off when i didnt prime it.
I like testors personally but have used Citadel, Armory and a couple others as well with good results. Actually even Krylon primer will work in a pinch but is a bit thicker and masks fine details sometimes. Not tried the gesso spray though.
Would krylon uv resistant clear acrylic coating work as a finish sealer?
It might be a bit shiny for my taste. I like Testor's Dullcote or one of the matte varnishes used for tabletop wargaming miniatures. thewarstore.com is a good resource for that kind of stuff or if your town has a local gaming store.
wow! great work so far! just right to rest on a shoulder or summat!
Thanks very much That's what this one is designed for actually. The next one will be held on the hand like a falcon and the final dragon is built to be climbing up a leg. Should be a cool set
Thanks so much I'll post finished pics in the next month or so. He's now headless because the casting process has begun so he's not too pretty anymore.
Oh my god... you are insanely talented. How much do you charge?
All three of the dragons will be cast in resin and available as unpainted or painted kits at the beginning of November. The unpainted ones will be around $200 to $250 each depending on how difficult they are to reproduce. Paint prices vary from $50 to over $100 per piece depending on which of my painters you'd like to use thanks so much for your interest!
I will definitely be following your progress, can't wait to see more photos! Unfortunate for me that it won't be ready until November, but gives me time to save up as well! Especially if I will be needing three... I can't wait to see how these turn out! Best replicas I've seen!
Ugg. I misspoke. They'll be ready in early October lol. The first batch ships in the middle of September. Thanks so much!
The realism is very impressive and it's not even finished!

Japan hopes Iran will work toward a peaceful resolution of its nuclear issue through dialogue under new leadership, the government's top spokesman said Monday.
"For its nuclear issue to be peacefully resolved, we hope that Iran, under president-elect (Hasan) Rowhani, will hold serious dialogue with the international community and play an important role in peace and stability in the Middle East," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press conference.
Suga also said Japan will "urge Iran to address nuclear and other issues that are of concern to the international community in an appropriate manner" based on "amiable relations."
Moderate cleric Rowhani, a former nuclear negotiator, won the Iranian presidential election over the weekend. The country has been locked in a dispute with the United States and its European allies, which have imposed economic sanctions over its nuclear program.

Dear Heloise: A while back, you had an article about a funeral basket. Instead of sending flowers, the person said to make up a basket of thank-you cards and some other things. I can't seem to find that article. -- Laura W., Via E-mail
The idea is that instead of sending more flowers or food, make a personalized gift basket by purchasing useful items and putting them in a pretty basket. For instance, a floral condolences basket can be made by filling it with floral stationery, envelopes, thank-you cards, a pretty pen/pencil set, stamps, a notepad, a gift certificate for a local grocer or deli for a food tray, etc.
Really, any theme you think of or additional items will make the basket more special. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I have three young children who love to play in the bathtub. I save lids from hair spray, hair mousse, shaving cream, etc., and they use them as bath toys. The lids are perfect for their little hands. -- Amy Kott, Edwards, Ill.
Dear Heloise: I have some great uses for old socks.
Socks with holes or stretched-out elastic make fantastic shoeshine rags. Use the toe portion to spread the polish, then turn the sock inside out to buff.Also, old socks make great shoe covers. Simply slide over the shoe, beginning at the toe. Shoes nestled together don't scratch each other. -- Liz W., Los Angeles
Dear Heloise: I read in one of your columns that plastic bags are not good for storing clothes, and that using sheets is recommended. I have an easier solution. Use an old pillowcase. Cut a hole about 1 inch wide in the top seam, put the item on a hanger, insert the top of the hanger through the slit in the pillowcase, then pull it down over the garment. This allows the item to breathe and keeps dust off. -- V. Henry, Via E-mail
Dear Heloise: As a working woman, I wear jewelry every day. I like necklaces and earrings that match, but finding the mates every morning is a problem.
I fixed this by buying a pegboard-type utility holder at our local home-improvement store. It has 10 "arms" about an inch and a half long.
I screwed it securely into the wall and now hang all necklaces with earrings attached on the arms. Everything is right there, and it looks neat as well. -- Susan, Via E-mail
Dear Heloise: Here's one more use for an empty cube tissue box: Leave the plastic in place, and it's perfect for upending a nearly empty lotion or shampoo bottle that has a rounded or oddly shaped cap. I like to get every bit -- it's what I paid for. -- Rebecca Plunkett, San Antonio
nSend a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or e-mail it to email@example.com. I can't answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Chef's Book
By Paul Downs
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
** Now supports iTunes Document Sharing, for easy backup of your recipes.**
Chef's Book is designed to allow you to record the food you cook and to share the recipes with other Chef's Book users. As a universal application it is designed to take advantage of each devices abilities. With the iPhone you can use the camera to illustrate your recipes, on the iPad you have the screen real estate to use it as a reference in the kitchen.
It is designed to be your recipe book, as such a handful of recipes are included to get you started. Of course you can always find more and share them with your friends.
Recipes within the application are organised into categories you create, each category can have an icon taken from your library or camera. Existing categories can be edited and deleted. Management tools allow you to merge categories or move individual recipes around; thus allowing you to organise your Chef's Book how you want it.
Recipes may have a main illustrative photo and each step in the method may also be illustrated, each photo is stored as a thumbnail and as the full sized original for future reference. Recipes may have any number of ingredients and steps, which can be re-ordered and edited.
Recipes can now be printed directly from the application to a supported printer and exchanged via email as PDF documents as well as shared with other Chef's Book users with the chefdoc file format. The PDF formatting is basic but serviceable for now and will improve.
Once shared recipes remain fully editable encouraging collaboration and experimentation. Recipes are currently exchange via email. More community based features are planned for the near future.
What's New in Version 1.4
This version adds a brief manual, available under Help in the About screen. It also adds iTunes document synchronisation which is available in the main Category list display in the lower left of the toolbar.
When synchronising all chefdoc files are checked and imported if new or updated. After importing all updated recipes are written out individually.

text: I recently had a hosting company that had a dual drive failure within 6 minutes of each other, not sure how that could even happen. However they had to restore a backup of the server last night. After they did that the server and websites on it are really slow. Pages with big SQL queries take forever, but are fast if I execute it on the server directly with a stored procedure. Any clue why the server would be so slow after a backup restore on Windows Server 2008 R2?

Hi everyone,
I'm using a stock installation of Genesis and Robots Meta.
I'm wondering if Genesis will by default, overwrite any settings in Robots Meta when it comes to SEO, because of the fact that Genesis is very much a SEO'd theme?
For example, if I set Robots Meta to not index the author archive on WordPress, will the default SEO settings of Genesis overwrite that action and enable the author archive to be indexed still?
We need to be sure about the results we're getting :)
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am having a weird issue. I am developing a WPF app, and I added a Setup Project in order to create an installer. I am developing on XP. If I install the app on my machine it works fine, but if I install it on a Win 7 Virtual Machine it crashes when closing. On Win 7, if I run the app as administrator it doesn't crash. When I go to Problem details it says: "Problem Event Name: CLR20r3"
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Plantar Fascitis? Knee Issues? Try Changing Your Workout ShoesFitness
By Paula Jager, CSCS
"A woman can never be too fit, too happy or have too many pairs of workout shoes" (Paula Jager – and you can quote me on that).
At our local dairy pick up a few weeks ago I noticed Sarah was wearing her pretty multi-colored Merrell's and I asked her how she liked them. "Love them" she said. "Wear them all the time but I just can't run in them". Really, why is that I asked? "Just kills the back of my leg down by the Achilles". Yes, I knew exactly what she was talking about and silently chuckled to myself–from the sheer experience of it.
We are all so very different–biomechanically, in our fitness capacity and just overall structure. Despite the differences I still believe that everyone should wear a barefoot or minimalist shoe for whatever the activity. It's the way nature intended us to be. We've just gone against nature in this department for so long we've created issues and a cautious and gradual approach is what many of us need in order to correct the problems and imbalances we've created.
Sarah asked me to share my story transitioning to barefoot shoes as well as the experiences of a few of my clients. I would say that 85% of my clients have converted over to a minimalist shoe. Some have no trouble at all, some had to do it very gradually.
The main players in ease of transition are age and habits along with efficiency of running and conditioning. Like anything else with bad habits, the damage is cumulative. I got my first pair of Vibrams at age 50; I was/am a sprinter but had terrible running form for distance and was what is known as a "heel striker".
Until that time I wore primarily Nike Shox (the worst) and other similar platform training shoes. I ran in them, I lifted in them and had 18 pairs in various colors to match what I wore. Being an all or nothing girl when I first learned of the barefoot idea I spun my typical 180. First time I wore them I ran 800 m (that was taking it easy for me). My feet and entire lower legs were so sore I could barely walk. It took almost a full week to get back to normal. I kept at it and eventually tore my calf. After healing that through laying off it I was still determined that the barefoot shoes were the best thing for us.
I wore them all day all the time. I got used to just walking and standing in them. I then began to run 200-400 m 2-3 times a week in them being careful not to overdue it. I allowed time for recovery. Our box put together a team for Tough Mudder that year and I was determined to wear a minimalist shoe as they were deemed the best for the terrain. Tough Mudder requires 11.5 miles of running, mind you I'd never run further than 4 miles in my entire life. My Achilles and calves were so shortened from years of bad running form and the wrong shoes.
But it's never too late to change–is it?
Using CF Endurance our training consisted of 3 runs a week (long intervals, short intervals and a long run on the weekend). I wore my barefoot shoes for the short intervals, rowed the long intervals to allow for healing and wore a pair of Nike frees (I call them Tweeners) for the longer run until I built up some ability to handle the distances. I included at least 20 to 30 minutes of mobility work and foam rolling after every run. That worked well. After a few months, I got rid of the Nike Frees and slowly began the longer runs with my barefoot shoes. Four months later we ran the mudder and they were the best shoes I could have chosen. I ran the entire 11.5 miles without any issues.
Could Improper Footwear Cause Knee Problems and Plantar Fascitis?
Fast forward to the present moment and I only wear barefoot shoes for everything. I can run in them–long or short distances, jump in them and basically spend my entire day in them or the real thing–my bare feet. Improvements? You bet; my knee doesn't hurt anymore when running. I've had 2 meniscus surgeries and I am now convinced that improper footwear played a part in both injuries. I have improved range of motion and overall function in lower legs and hamstrings which we all know the entire body is connected and that carries over to improvements in the entire spine.
My problem: tight, shortened posterior legs, especially the lower.
Let's take a look at some others. . .
Shaina/Tiffanie/Jesse: ages 35/22/23. All 3 are excellent and efficient runners. They experienced minor calf soreness the first couple of weeks and after the first longer run. With some intelligent training they adjusted very quickly and wear them exclusively now.
Sandy aka Spunky: Age 59. Long history of running and a good runner. Said "heck no" to the Vibrams and went for the Nike Frees. Overall smooth adjustment with some lower leg soreness initially. Has run in them exclusively now for over 2 years and will not go back to the clunkers nor will she try anything less. In her words "if it ain't broke I'm not fixing it". And you wonder why we call her "Spunky".
Ken: Age 35 presented with plantar fascitis. Good runner and fairly efficient. We switched him to a very minimalist shoes and lots of rolling on the foot with a lacrosse ball. Pain free now and running form improved even more.
Lucinda: Age 37 "flat feet". (Developed) She first wore a shoe similar to the frees. After adjusting to that we switched to a more minimalist shoe. Her "flat feet" were a result of mistreating the feet by wearing improper shoes such as heels and wearing shoes with too much arch support like orthotics. That led to weakened and atrophied muscles. We had to strengthen her feet. We encouraged her to spend as much time as possible barefoot. She needed to learn to use her feet again. We gave her exercises for toeing, pulling and grasping. We also had her walking in the sand, pointing her toes and walking on the sides–all strengthening exercises. She's doing great no and guess what? Her feet are no longer "flat".
Greg and Denise: Age 53 and 49. They were overweight and sedentary. They needed a very slow, gradual transition. We started them with a minimalist shoe with a little bit of support and got them used to walking in them. We encouraged going barefoot whenever they could. We implemented a consistent stretching and mobility protocol for them before and after every activity to correct imbalances. After getting used to walking and losing some weight we started them on jog/walk routine. They have become dedicated and disciplined people that really wanted to make health changes and were willing to do the work. Not everyone is.
To sum it up; evaluate the reality of your situation–past and current fitness experience, any orthopedic concerns or limitations along with your goals and proceed with caution and gradual increases in volume. There are many brands, degrees of minimalism and varieties out there. Shop around, try them on, walk or run in them (many footwear stores have a treadmill you can use to see how they feel) and decide what is right for you at this time. And remember the best way is usually the way nature intended.

I hate this. I try to research shoes that will help with plantar fasciitis and knees – and every time, there are people saying. "No! You have to transition to barefoot shoes!" and saying research supports it – and just as many others saying "No, you must wear arch support!" I'm so confused. One or the other is wrong and will cause a mistake to be made, and there is no way to know who is right or telling the truth.
I transitioned from classic shoes to an Asics 'free' style and liked it, years ago. Then I fractured my patella in a fall and couldn't exercise much for a long time. It was after that that my PF began – probably because I'd unconciously favoured my bad leg? I got flat feet and pronation. I didn't use to have those before!
The only thing that has eased the pain was starting to wear a really good walking shoe from a 'health shoe' brand, it does have arch support. The pain isn't just gone when in that shoe, either. So I am still confused, and very wary of trying to transition, specially with quite a bunch of experts who maintain that support is necessary.
As this post is quite old now, I don't know if it's valid or if I'll get a response, but here goes. I have a pair of Merrill, but haven't worn them much. The past year I've been getting lower left back pain, then the last few months a burning pain in my left arch. I do have flat feet and bunions. My chiropractor sent me to a podiatrist who said it's all caused by a slight bow in my left tibia, nothing can be done about that, and I need orthotics. What CAN I do about that? I'd love to get into barefoot but she says it's not going to happen.

If you are going to transition to barefoot shoes you must go VERY SLOWLY! If you have been in a shoe that has a high rocker, like 10 or 12 mm, and you drop to s totally flat shoe you risk all sorts of injuries including torn Achilles' tendon, torn gastroc or soleus and plantar fasciitis. It can and should take up to 2 years to lengthen your calf and foot muscles through s slow transition from a high rocker/drop to a low or flat soled shoe. This should be done under the guidance of someone who specializes in this type of thing, PT, coach or trainer. Severe injury can be caused by jumping right into a barefoot shoe. I know. I tore my calf muscle. Also if you wear everyday shoes with lift, Dansko clogs, high heels, etc. that can make the transition harder, too.
Roxanne Rieske via Facebook
Many ppl do not get fitted properly for shoes to begin with, and that is the most common cause for PF.
Minimalist shoes are not appropriate options for most ppl. Women should really stop wearing heels as well. The cute factor of heels is not worth the major foot problems they cause.
Karen Kitchen via Facebook
I cured a really bad case of planetary fasciitis by walking up pretty steep hills a few times a week. Cured in about 2 weeks and haven't looked back! I think you could do it on an incline treadmill. Think steep though… about 45° for 20 minutes and then a flat cool down for 10 more.

Barefoot shoes cause IT ban and metatarsal and hip issue in both my husband and I, experienced athletes. They are not for everyone, even if you know how to "walk correctly", especially not recommended for running.
Basil F Butcher via Facebook
Plantar fascitis may be caused by several things such as poor foot mobility, poor jaw mobility so one needs to find out the source before the problem could be solved. Many people have weak feet so they would have to be transitioned appropriately to minimalist shoes. There are methods to determine if specific shoes work for the individual, however too detailed to go into here.

Read that book 3 years ago. Bought Merrill barefoot runners and ended up wearing them *all* the time. They are wonderful shoes once you relearn how to walk. 😉
Anyone else notice the 2 A&W Papa burger ads on this page :/
2 Questions for all of you!
1. Noisy Knees.
I have always been barefoot at home and wear supportive running shoes to run. (Only 10-15 miles per week). A couple years ago I jumped on the barefoot bandwagon and started running in the equivalent of moccasins when I ran the steps at the stadium. Then my knees started making crunching noises when I go up stairs. No pain involved, but worrisome none the less. Six or more months ago my routine changed and I have been running on pavement with traditional running shoes. Knees are just as noisy. ???
2. Broken Feet
My "flat footed" daughters and son wear orthotics in their shoes. If they don't they all have an ugly roll in and knee pain. My middle daughter has broken toe bones in the same region three times in the past 8 years. First time due to a fall onto a hard object. The second two "stress fractures" just from walking around, with her prescription orthotics during most times. She is normally barefoot at home. The third "fracture", mystery pain, started while she was very active (ice skating, plus ballet and gym class at school). Too much stress on poorly aligned foot?
A year later (4 doctors, physical therapy, xray, MRI, wearing a Cam boot 4 weeks, and lots of frustration) she is STILL experiencing random and regular pain in the same area as the first break. We are back to square one: a recommendation to get new orthotics and continue physical therapy.
Does anyone have a similar story or ideas to contribute?
I am in my first weeks of pregnancy, what do you think about these for pregnant women? I was actually planning to get five fingers, because I have knee problems and hip alignment problems. I've worn new balance shoe 1225 for the last 6 years.

I have been wanting to "get into" running for a while. I have always had painful experiences with running, side stitches, shin splints, ext simply from being out of shape and overweight. I lost about 75 lbs through diet and exercise and since I was now under 200 I thought I could give running a shot again. I loved the idea of the freedom of running, no gym, just you, some music, and a road/trail. I bought some expensive running shoes and got HORRIBLE shin splints. I am talking about if you touched them for 2 days after a 45 minute run/walk I would literally cry. Since they were so bad a friend suggested I may even have a stress fracture so I visited my Dr. who said that the shin splints were from running on surfaces other than a treadmill. There went my dreams of the open road…. Then I started researching and thought I could give barefoot running a try. Shin splints gone THE VERY FIRST RUN. I will admit that I didn't ease myself into them too slowly…I essentially started the Couch to 5K program over again in my new Vibrams. I now feel that running is totally in my grasp and love zipping around my gym in my weird "toe shoes" and getting funny looks from co-workers as I make my way out to my lunch time run.
My husband transitioned very successfully to the NB minimus (4mm drop) two years ago. Within weeks of wearing five fingers (0mm drop), he developed plantar fascitis. What gives?

one word…… birkenstock…. I no longer have planter fasciitis <3 and I can walk

I've never even thought about switching to a minimalist shoe. I've always ran in Nike or Adidas shoes and haven't had a problem.
But I go barefoot all the time and I have Plantar Fascitis!!! I have had 4 babies, 3 of them very close together. I was on my feet practically all day every day for the last couple of pregnancies. I experienced foot swelling, very sore back, and foot pain. After I had my 4th, I started having heel pain in my left foot that has escalated over the past 4 months. It's getting very painful. I exercise barefoot 6x/week (started exercising after the pain started). I'm not sure what will help at this point. I've been told to start wearing shoes indoors with insoles in them…
the nike free is about what i got for preo shoes but they were at walmart by that exerise comp that they sell stuff for, for $10. I love those and choose them over my standard sneaks often. and i love flip flops. so wonder if i would have much trouble adjusting to bear?
I found these type at Target for babes just starting to walk and up. When my now 5 m old reaches age to walk and is doing so outside, I will go get the ones that fit her and start her out right.

I know someone who does tradefairs – she changes her shoes everyday.
My husband's a runner and throws out his shoes about every thousand miles.
You nailed the key word Trish–your feet are much "stronger" now!

I was curious to hear how flip-flops play into the whole minimalist shoe ideology.
My husband was born and raised on a tropical island and wears flip-flops 99.9% of the time. He teases that his feet are "claustrophobic". He is miserable if he's in closed shoes for more than a couple of hours. Are flip-flops healthy for your feet? Should we look for totally flat ones or would some with a little arch "support" be good?
I wear flip flops a lot in the summer. Personally I prefer the totally flat ones–unless I just want to be "cute" for an hour or two when going out:)
Hi Paula
thanks for the great article
I am wondering , I have an 8 year old who a few years ago after reading about barefoot benefits switched his shoes to nike frees. He plays and runs alot and lately been complaining of sore ankles. I took him to a podiatrist who said he is VERY flat footed and needs a shoe to support him or I will damage him permanently. My eldest daughter is also quite flatfooted. My question is if you are naturally flat footed are you better with a supporting shoe as I went with the nikes frees however they did not seem to work for him however his new supporting shoes seem to help him.
Thanks again
Well, I am certainly not a podiatrist but I don't think that the support shoes are the right answer. It may be he just needs to strengthen the feet and ankles. How is he barefoot–running around in the yard and around the house? Check out this excellent article from Mark's Daily Apple, he discusses both hereditary and developed flat feet.
What if you have high arches? Is there a way to cure plantar fasciitis without wearing orthotics?

Going barefoot as much as possible is like a miracle cure for all kinds of feet, knee, hip, back, and core problems. Check out Daniel Howell's book called simply The Barefoot Book. http://www.thebarefootbook.com/
I spent my late elementary/jr high living in keds. About the time I started growing, my feet began to hurt. If I stood still very long my feet would be uncomfortable and my knees felt stiff. I cheered in for 6 years and I had issues standing on the hardwood floors. It seemed like during the second game my knees would ache. I didn't have this problem during football season, only basketball. I was wearing cowboy boots otherwise.
I continued to wear boots through college and quite cheering, I blamed my foot problems on walking on concrete sidewalks. I'd always lived on a farm, so most of my time was spent on turf up until then. I describe the feeling as being heavy on my feet, although I'm a small person.
Now I'm 34 and farm and work for a public utility. I wear Doc Martin work boots or Muck Boots and I avoid standing if I'm not actively moving around. I wear socks in the house, but if I'm going to be on my feet (cooking or canning) I wear tennis shoes. Any suggestions? I need a rugged shoe that will stand up to manure, briars, water, and look conventional. I don't think the guys would let the 5 finger toe shoes go without giving me a hard time! Thanks.
Amen sister! It is wonderful to hear you explain this so well! Not surprising though since you hit everything pretty dead on. I am an anatomist and Pilates teacher trainer and this is exactly what I teach. The mainstream teaching of needing more arch support simply sells more shoes and makes the feet worse! There are actually exercises and apparatus in the Pilates repertoire that lift and restore the arches so that this transition to bare feet is easier for those with problems. We treat tons of plantar fascitis, IT syndrome (which causes the bad knees), low back pain and much more with great success by working the muscles in the feet.
What about shoes for work? I can get away with fairly casual clogs/loafers/flats, but not Vibrams. Hate heels and have never worn them. I've been trying on shoes for close to a month and can't find any that are truly comfortable. Anyone have any suggestions?
Anything that has a flexible sole so you can bend it and twist it any which way should be good… no arch supports though!
So, no Danskos? I don't find them comfortable anyway. Any brands/models that anyone can recommend?

MSM is a sure fire fix for plantar fascitis, or you could just eat lots of onions I guess.
What do you suggest for us that get snow to wear? Those shoes are very cold to wear in the winter and snow.
Move to Florida. Just kidding–both Merrill and New Balance have released cold weather versions of the minimalist shoes, I would check them out.

I'm not a runner or anything, first of all. But I totally think we're onto something when we try to transition OUT of "shoes" and into more natural "footwear" or going barefoot.
I joined the barefoot movement this past March 2012. After doing lots of research and comparisons, I decided Five Fingers weren't the best choice for me, and I latched onto Invisible Shoes (which I believe are getting a name change soon). You can find them now at invisibleshoe . com (no "s" at the end). [I don't work for them or know anyone who does…]
The transition has been LONG and slow. The exercises suggested on Vibram's site are definitely helpful. I did experience some pain, but I probably pushed too hard. Once I began wearing my invisible shoes, I just couldn't bring myself to wear ANY of my other shoes… ever again. Now it's November and cold in Ohio. Still wearing them, but now with wool socks. Not sure what I'm going to do once it snows. But there's no way I can wear "shoes" again. The feet change, and wearing "shoes" is now oh so awkward. 😀

And now they are called Xero Shoes…. Love these new Sensori ones (compared to the old ones)..http://xeroshoes.com/index-nav-mwc.php
Thank you for the useful information. I used to run before autoimmune conditions made me bedridden. As I heal, I've started exercising again, although I haven't progressed to running. After a period of not even being able to sit up for more than a few minutes a day, I'm pretty excited to have mastered the brisk walk. I had a dozen pairs of running shoes (Nike's etc.), but now I'm interested in trying something better. I did have plantar fasciitis and knee pain, but thyroid hormones eliminated those like magic.
There's a Crossfit studio nearby. What is Crossfit?
My husband has terrible plantar fasciitis. I never considered thyroid hormones but his hands and feet are always cold and thyroid trouble runs in his family. Of course, when the dr checks his thyroid function they say it normal. How in the world would we proceed with getting hormones for this to see if it helps his foot pain. Also has tendonitisis in elbow .
CrossFit is functional exercise, randomly varied and performed at high intensities. The "intensity" can be scaled appropriately relative to the individual's fitness level. I would check it out–make sure you let the owner/coach know of your existing health challenges. If you are new to it I would suggest private sessions to learn the movements and progress at a level that would support healing for your particular situations.
Paramount to your success will be strict adherence to an autoimmune protocol diet.
Paula- you recommend strict adherence to an autoimmune protocol diet. I also have autoimmune disease, been paleo for over 3 years – would you recommend the paleo autoimmune protocol ( paleo minus eggs, nuts and nightshades) or is there another that one should look into? Thx
That's it MaryCay! Some people have been able to add back in some of the "good" foods such as eggs, nuts, nightshades and raw dairy (which is not Paleo but Primal) after being off for awhile and then adding back in one at a time over at least a 3 day period and observe symptoms/reactions. Depends on individual intolerances, health of the gut and many other factors.
I'm confused about brands, options, which are minimalist, "barefoot" which to use for what. Is there an online resource? I tried to order a few from zappos and got poor fit.
(REALLY important to stress gradual transition. I know a podiatrist who says his whole business could consist of people who just up & went running in the 5-fingers and broke a foot bone.)
I too am confused about what I should get and hate to buy and make a mistake.
I have a bad lower back started from a skating fall in my late 20's, but then agravated over many years from all kinds of sports. I still love sports and exercise but must be very careful about the back and go to my Chiro regularly. Any recommendations to get started?
I don't have a recommendation for a particular brand. But zappos.com has a 1 year return policy, and free shipping/returns. They also have a broader selection than you'll find at most stores.
As usual when something "new" and effective hits the market every manufacturer jumps on the bandwagon. Unless you have successfully used the brand I would not order online but visit a store that carries various brands of athletic minimalist shoes. You can talk with the salesperson as well as try on several brands. Some stores even have a treadmill which will allow you to get a feel for them.
"Minimalist" is a more general term referring to the graduated degrees of support to those that are similar to being barefoot.

I was totally floored this past weekend when I found out that my viola student's father is the author of "Born to Run"!
Tanya Caporaletti
That is awesome! I loved that book
About 14 yrs ago I developed plantars fasciatis to the point my podiatrist said my only solution was surgery, unless I took a year to heal them, which I did. Yet I could still barely walk, let alone run, for years, and forget standing at a party or in a long line. And even with orthotics I had a lot of trouble with pain. Then another health situation arose in my life and I started going to an acupunturist for that and lo and behold my plantars fasciatis disappeared! When I asked her why she said that in Chinese medicine plantars fasciatis is actually an indication of weak kidneys and when you strengthen the 5 major internal organs according to Chinese medicine ways that many things go away. I no longer go to the acupunturist, and for several years now I have been able to walk barefoot again, to wear any shoe without trying to cram my orthotics into them, to stand for hours if need be, without any pain or discomfort of any kind. In fact I no longer need my orthotics! So while getting a new pair of running shoes can be really helpful, why not also try to find ways to strengthen your kidney meridians as well.
Great story Cathleen! Everything in the body is so interrelated.
Carol G.
I learned that lesson years ago when I walked a 12 mile mail route daily for my job. I also ran in the evenings and worked out so I learned really fast the benefit to having the proper shoes for each of my various activities. That is also when I tossed out the high heeled shoes I used to wear. LOL!
Yeah, I wish I had tossed out my high heels much sooner – ruined my feet and back!

Also, look into Alexander Technique. You might have the best shoes in the world but if you mis-use your body the shoes won't help you much.

I changed my shoes and started taking omega-3 supplements. It cleared up quickly.
I used to have constant knee pain. Then I started wearing Merrill's barefoot minimalist shoes – the pace trainer for walking and the maryjane for everyday (I believe it's also considered a trainer, but it's a really cute shoe). I no longer have knee pain and can wear other shoes for every day stuff. I still change to the barefoot if I'm going to be on my feet a lot or going on long walks.
Tanya Caporaletti
The exact same thing happened to me. After cheering for 12 years, my knees were shot. I started running two years ago and decided to try the Merrill Pace Glove. They are all I wear now, and I have no knee pain whatsoever!.

Kate Moss for Rag & Bone
Rag & Bone has launched their first campaign to coincide with the opening of their new store in London. What is a sure way to make your campaign stand out amongst the rest? That's right, get Kate Moss! That is just what designers, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright did. For their first campaign, Kate was shot on the streets of London by Criag McDean.
I cannot see any other better combination than this one. I think all the spectrum's about it are just right on. What are your thoughts on the first Rag & Bone campaign?
Kate Moss in Siwy Hannah Skinny Jeans in Rain
Kate Moss was spotted arriving to Sadie Frost's birthday party in Primrose Hill. She pulled out her old Siwy Hannah's in Rain again. She paired them with a pale pink shirt, vest and some Ferragamo captoe heels.
Kate has been wearing the menswear vests more frequently again. I wonder if it means that it'll be making a return. I always thought, and still do think, it was a great piece since it blew up back in '06. What do you readers think of the return of the menswear vest? Click here to buy Siwy jeans at Singer22.

Kate Moss in Superfine Prince Cropped Jeans
Kate Moss was spotted at the medical center in London, England. She wore a pair of Superfine Prince Cropped jeans. It's been a while since we saw Kate in Superfine.
I always enjoyed seeing her in these. I loved the way they looked when she wore them with these specific Balenciaga boots. I love the way they skim over the top and show a bit of the ankle at the same time. Click here to purchase Superfine at SSENSE.

Kate Moss in Siwy
Kate Moss was spotted out and about in North London. She wore a pair of Siwy Hannah jeans in It's Magic with a fur jacket and some knee high Minnetonkas.
I like that Kate is pulling out the moccasins again. I hope she wears her ankle ones soon. I don't think there is anyone else that can wear those better than her. She wears them with the most perfect slouch. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $154.
