Confessions of a Gadget Junkie: Fitbit Force Recall
I absolutely love my Fitbit Force. And I'm really sad I'm going to have to send it back. On February 20th, the CEO of Fitbit posted a public letter alerting all Force owners that a small percentage of users have developed an allergic reaction to the Force, either in the nickel from the device itself or from the adhesives in the band. It manifests as a small rash on the arm/wrist, and it's been diagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis. As such, Fitbit is hosting a voluntary recall for a complete refund on the Force. As soon as I got the news, my heart sank. Now I know what was causing that rash on my wrist. The rash only appeared a couple of weeks ago, and since I've had the Force since December, I never correlated the two. I assumed it sprung from sweat as I was sleeping, as it suddenlyRead more →By crunchychocobo in Gadget · Gadget Angels 1 Comment »
Titanfall Art Book Revew
There has been just a wee bit of hype as of late for Respawn's Titanfall, the online multiplayer shooter that features lots and lots of mechs. The game won't release for a few more weeks, but you can revel in the beauty of the game now with Titan Books' The Art of Titanfall art book. For 191 jaw-dropping pages, fans of Titanfall can drool over the incredible artwork that goes behind the game and learn a bit about the game's history. The art in an art book is only half of what makes a video game art book so fantastic; the other half does come from the writing, as insane as that might sound. The Art of Titanfall does more than give the reader pretty pictures to look at; it also tells the story of how Titanfall came to be. Several of the game's artists and animators pitched into describeRead more →

Confessions of a Gadget Junkie: Fitbit Force
Considering I've been into walking half marathons for the last couple of years, it's honestly amazing I've held out from getting a Fitbit at all. But then the Fitbit Force was announced, and I was instantly intrigued by its slick design and its many features. I preordered one, and it's only off my wrist when I shower or when I charge it. And I admit I have become downright obsessed with checking my stats throughout the day. The default goal for Fitbit is to walk 10,000 steps a day, which sounds super easy, but it's really 4-5 miles. As much as you think you walk throughout the day, it's amazing to realize how far even 1,000 steps are. I had to lower my goal to 5,000 steps a day since I work from home and I have a five-month old baby, as having a baby pretty much means plenty ofRead more →

Mario surprises Southwest customers
About 100 travel weary Southwest customers are going to get a very nice surprise…a visit from Mario. Mario will be bearing gifts too! People flying out of Dallas Love airport Southwest airline may be in for a treat as Mario will be there to give 100 people a special Wii U package!

Xbox One launch date is here!
How many of you are going to midnight launch events to pick up your Xbox One? My Xbox One seems to be stuck in UPS land but hopefully I will get mine soon! Launches are always so exciting, but they definitely change when you have a baby. There is no way I can stay up until midnight anymore. I'm asleep on the couch by 10pm most nights. Sadly this means that I will not get to start to use my Xbox One until after work the next day. How do you handle launch dates with your baby? Do you bring him/her to the event? Another interesting discussion my husband and I have been having around the Xbox One launch is where to put it! At this point we are out of HDMI slots so that means it will probably displace the Xbox 360. We're still in the middle of playingRead more →
Interview With "Tales of" Producer Hideo Baba, at New York Comic Con
Hideo Baba made an appearance at this year's New York Comic Con to connect with fans and promote the upcoming Tales of Symphonia Chronicles and Tales of Xillia 2. As a fan of the series, I was fortunate enough to sit down and touch base with him about the series he's extremely proud to be apart of. VB: How do you feel about the record breaking success of the Tales series here in the states, Tales of Xillia especially?

Over the past few years, particularly since the bursting of the housing bubble, there have been increasing calls for middle-class Americans to "scale down" from their beloved private homes and seek a more constrained existence. Among these voices recently was Michael Milken, for whom I have worked and have enormous respect. He suggested Americans would be better off not buying homes and living smaller, for the sake of their own economic situations, families and the environment. read more »

Turn Of The Screwed: Does The GOP Have A Shot At Wooing Disgruntled Millennials?
Over the past five years, the millennial generation (born after 1983) has been exercising greater influence over the economy, society and politics of the country, a trend that will only grow in the coming years. So far, they've leaned Democratic in the voting booth, but could the lousy economic fate of what I've dubbed "the screwed generation" lead to a change? read more »

The Rise of the Executive Headquarters
Headquarters were once a defining characteristic of urban economic power, and indeed today cities that can still brag of the number of entries they boast on the Fortune 500 list of largest American firms. Yet as urban centers increasingly lost headquarters, boosters started to downplay them as a metric, particularly with the rise of the so-called "global city" concept. Today the HQ is back into the urban mix, but increasingly as what I would call the "executive headquarters" which brings bragging rights to a city but not much in terms of middle class jobs.
The corporate headquarters in a downtown skyscraper took a beating during the 70s, 80s, and 90s as America's inner cities went into decline. Why locate in a decaying, lawless, dysfunctional urban setting that seemed destined for the scrap heap when the shiny suburbs beckoned? read more »
Focusing on People, Not Sprawl
For seven decades urban planners have been seeking to force higher urban population densities through urban containment policies. The object is to combat "urban sprawl," which is the theological (or ideological) term applied to the organic phenomenon of urban expansion. This has come at considerable cost, as house prices have materially increased relative to incomes, which is to be expected from urban containment strategies that ration land (and thus raise its price, all things being equal). read more »
Good Jobs Often Not Matter of Degrees
If there's anything both political parties agree upon, it's that our education system is a mess. It is particularly poor at serving the vast majority of young people who are unlikely either to go to an elite school or get an advanced degree in some promising field, particularly in the sciences and engineering. read more »

The Great Skills Gap Myth
One of the great memes out there in trying to diagnose persistently high unemployment and anemic job growth during what is still, I argue, the Great Recession is the so-called "skills gap". The idea here is that the fact that there are millions of unfilled job openings at the same time millions of people can't find work can be chalked up to a lack of a skills match between unemployed workers an open positions. read more »
Taking the Main Street Off-ramp
To some, the $19 billion paid by Facebook for the Silicon Valley start-up What's App represents the ultimate confirmation of the capitalist dream.

Beatty knocked the ball lose from Georgia running back Caleb King and John Major recovered to all but seal a 29-27 win over the Bulldogs, the Buffs first back-to-back wins since 2008.
"We kind of saw this as a statement game knowing that we can compete with big teams," Beatty said.
The Buffaloes took control of the game early by establishing their running game behind backs Brian Lockridge and Rodney Stewart and quarterback Tyler Hansen, who took to the ground several times for big chunks of yardage against an unprepared Georgia defense. The Buffs rushed for 235 yards, the third time this season the Bulldogs have given up more than 200 yards rushing.
But it was the defensive stand on what could have been the game-winning drive that shut the door on a Georgia quarterback. With Georgia on the 27-yard-line – well within kicker Blair Walsh's range – down two and 1:59 remaining, the Bulldogs appeared poised to take the lead. But Beatty read a Georgia handoff well, got to King right as he received the ball and knocked the ball out of his hands.
"We knew they were going to try and run the ball and milk the clock and kick a field goal," Beatty said of the play. "I knew I had the opportunity to come off the edge and maybe disrupt their handoff… I was thinking, 'If I could get off the ball fast enough, I can get to that exchange and force it out.' That's all that ran through my head."
Colorado is now 3-1 heading into its first Big 12 contest against Missouri. The win over Georgia gave Colorado a much-needed confidence boost heading into a game against a Tiger team that they haven't defeated since 2005. In those games, Colorado has been outscored 177-40. Not to mention the Buffs haven't won on the road since Oct. 27, 2007.
"There haven't been many times when we've won two in a row while I've been here and it feels real good to put two weeks together," Hansen said. "Now we have three to look forward to against a good Missouri team. Missouri has kind of had our number, so we are going to have to be real good on the road this week."

I really thought yesterday was Friday. I got up to write Gin and Topics and got halfway through before I realized it was only Thursday.
What a disappointment!
But that's OK. Friday is here now. Only one thing…it's daylight savings this weekend. So you're going to lose an hour. Try not to be too grouchy about it.
And…for all of you at SxSW? I'm officially envious. Have tons of fun, learn lots, and bring back good stories to share!
5. Strawberry Pie. Grannies are for pononin noobs! OK. I have no idea what that means, but this is pretty funny. Thanks to Ifdy Perez for sending it to me.
4. Google Puts Feet On the Street. My Marketing in the Round co-author, Geoff Livingston, writes a compelling blog post about how Google is hoping to compete with Facebook and others…by putting people on the street. They're going into businesses and showing them how to use Google+. Methinks this is cheating. See what you think.
3. Facebook Rolls Out Timeline for Businesses. Hopefully you didn't miss the big announcement last week, but if you did, Facebook has finally opened Timeline for businesses. We love it! We still have some work to do on the Arment Dietrich page, but it's getting there. It's so well organized, easy to look at, and easy to find conversations.
2. Japanese Ray Gun Leaves People Speechless. OK. I'm pretty sure I should not find this as entertaining as I do, but… It's a ray gun that, when pointed at a person, renders them speechless. The owners of the company that make it say it will be useful in meetings to get the loud mouth to stop talking or in social situations when one person is commandeering the conversation. I could have used it on the El the other day!
1. KONY 12. This is pretty incredible. KONY 2012 is a film by Invisible Children to bring Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony to justice and free the thousands of "invisible children" he has abducted and pressed into soldiering and sex-slavery. They're calling for a global grassroots campaign on April 20 to find Kony and have him arrested.
And, on that happy note, happy weekend!

I want a ray gun to knocks out the stereos of the cars that blast loud music. That thumping bass makes me crazy sometimes.
@TheJackB I want one to replace my road rage.
@ginidietrich @TheJackB you can bet that lisagerber , Molly, Patti and the others (even Kelly??) will be purchasing those…
@KenMueller Oh you're funny. I don't talk that much. I'm an introvert. I listen and take it all in. Even at work. I just talk a lot when I write.
@ginidietrich even at your own meetings? hmmm
@KenMueller Yep…I tend to take it all in.
@ginidietrich That's the way I am too.
@KenMueller @ginidietrich @TheJackB lisagerber Again with Ken trying to pit us against each other… sigh…I def don't need it in meetings, but it would come in SUPER handy at some family gatherings!!!!!
@Lisa Gerber @ginidietrich @TheJackB lisagerber I would never try to pit you against each other. Never. Ever. …Never. Nope.
The Google story is interesting. As platforms seek to monetize what they are offering for free, they are really getting more aggressive. I met with a client this morning who says he has had nonstop calls from Facebook trying to get him to place ads. And Yelp is getting pretty weird about trying to get businesses to pay. I find that a real turnoff.
@KenMueller It seems so counterintuitive.
@KenMueller They really are Ken. Facebook's whole Strategy is going to have us paying to use the Platform if it keeps up at this pace, and Google pretty much says "Yeah, we're going to collect all your personally identifiable information now and use it for profit, so you better not do anything you want to keep private". They're already making money hand over fist, and that's the problem with going public – you can't feed enough profits to organization. It requires continuous growth, which requires more profits, which will likely be the downfall of Facebook.
@etelligence At least Google invested the energy and advertising dollars to educate its users. The rest of mercenaries just screw you.
@etelligence But…how fascinating is it they have more than 50 million views in just three days? They've struck a chord.
@ginidietrich @etelligence The interesting thing is that there are a lot of critics, and Invisible Children has done a great job of answering them on their blog, as well as on national TV this morning. A lot of the differences are semantics, and they really did clear up a lot of the misconceptions. I've been following and supporting IC since their beginnings and know some folks who work with them. They are very genuine and have great motives.
I want a gun that leaves people speechless! I have a few people I could use that on!
@NancyD68 I can't imagine it's legal, but wouldn't it be fun??
Your FB page looks very nice. I like it and "Liked" it. It is strange how social media has changed our language.
I want the ray gun, too. Not because there are any chatty McChattersons that I wish to silence, but just because it has "ray gun" in the name. Isn't that reason enough?
@ExtremelyAvg And what if you were at a book signing and someone was chatting your ear off and you couldn't get to your other guests. You could use it!
@ginidietrich hehe, it is my dream to have someone want to chat my ear off at a book signing. No way I'm going to mute them.
Granny's rock! I have a crazy, Obama-hating uncle I'd like to use that silencer on.
@Craig McBreen That wold be awesome!
That would be, "Grannies Rock" 🙂 but I think there is a place called "Granny's Rock." 😉
And my crazy uncle really is brainwashed. Don't worry, he doesn't read Spin Sucks.
@Craig McBreen wait…he's crazy and he DOESN'T read Spin Sucks? How odd…
Hey, Ken. Ha ha … GREAT point! 🙂
But honestly, he's an entirely different breed of crazy.
@Craig McBreen unlike the folks here who are normal crazy?
@Craig McBreen We could brainwash him back if he did read!
I suppose getting Kony would be a start; there are others like him but maybe if the momentum is started it will at least get the ball rolling. What about Darfur; it's just as bad if not worse. At least with movements like this, maybe you can actually feel like something is being done.
I got one of those Ray guns, my wife didn't think it was funny…………
@bdorman264 I can TOTALLY see your wife using that ray gun on you!
@cindyoyo Wasn't she funny?
@ginidietrich OMG! I loved Granny! Even when she fed the boy strawberry pie! Thanks for that!
I did check out the Kony 2012 today morning (it is night here!) and yes, I believe it is a start to make history.
@Hajra I think so, too. It'll be interesting to watch and see what happens. There are lots of people who think it's bad form to be doing this.
Grannies are for pononin-pa-na-noobs! Loved it lol.
@ifdyperez LOL!!
@ginidietrich Thank you Ms Dietrich!
@DoTime_WX You bet!

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Pick 6 Keepers
8 team keeper league, pick 6. Batting categories: R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP. Pitching Categories: W, CG, K, BB, SV, GIDP, ERA, WHIP
At this point I know I will keep Harper, McCutchen, Stanton, Scherzer, and after that I'm torn. I will probably trade Puig for draft picks as well as Strasburg.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
TK from LA TK from LA Jan 5, 2014 12:34 AM Flag
Given the categories - most notably, 2B, 3B and OBP in addition to the usual 5 categories and BB, GIDP and CG for pitching, the following rules apply:
(1) In leagues with more than the "standard 5" categories, the value of hitting over pitching increases even further. In the "standard 5" leagues, you can find a 4-category pitcher, who at least competes with a potential 5-category pitcher. However, with 8 categories, a pitcher gives you at most 6 categories (SP'ers give 0 saves and less value on BB than do relievers), while the premium hitters give you 8 categories.
(2) With just 6 keepers and 8 teams, the value of SP'ing goes down and the value of RP'ing is zero in terms of keepers. Therefore, I lean towards protecting 6 hitters and 0 pitchers.
(3) The players I keep are:
All six are 7 or 8-category contributors, and three are IF'ers. I like Segura given his good production at a young age, his potential 15 HR, 50 SB, 100 R production, his good hitter's park, and his premium position. Not having a top-tier 1st baseman is an issue, but those six guys project to combine for 125 HR's and 150 SB's. Those are the counting stats that have value for protected players.
Hamels is the only pitcher who I like as a potential keeper given his low BB rate, high GB rate and resulting GIDP rate. Strasberg is a top-tier SP'er in a "standard 5" league, but not as much with BB and GIDP categories. However, I just don't see a keeper pitcher in an 8-team, 6-keeper league apart from perhaps Kershaw or Darvish.
This would be my choice. All 3 bats are 5 tool players. Wright over Stanton or Harper for that and position scarcity. If you're not one to keep saves guys, trade Chapman and keep Harper.
Im going to change my answer. Id keep Kipins/Segura/Cutch/Harper/Puig then Wright. I think Scherezer #s will drop. I like keeping bats over arms. Deal Stanton/Scherezer/Stras for picks
Dick Strong Dick Strong Jan 2, 2014 5:30 PM Flag
Kipnis, Segura, Wright, McCutchen, Puig, and you can flip a coin between Harper, Scherzer, and Napoli.
Stanton is not a keeper...unless you are mathematically ignorant.
- 1 Reply to Dick Strong
You would rather keep Napoli over Stanton? Haha, funny...
In an 8 team league I would think everyone would have 6 quality keepers. If not defiantly try and deal for a stud 1B. If no trade can be made I am not a fan od half your keepers being OF. I would keep Kipnis, Segura, Wright, McCutchen, Harper and Scherzer.
Keep Segura and Kipnis along with the other 4. You should be able to get some really good draft picks for Puig.
Slappytheclown Slappytheclown Jan 1, 2014 9:10 PM Flag
Kipnis, Segura, Wright, Cutch, Harper, Stanton, Puig, Myers, Scherzer, Strasburg and Hamels. That's 11, so I guess you might be able to trade 3 and I'd say they bottom three are wright, scherzer and…puig. I think Puig is overrated and you could get a lot for him, Wright is 31, and I'm not a fan of AL pitchers longer term and I feel his ERA and WHIP this year will both go up to 3.5 / 1.15, good numbers but not cy worthy.
I would deal Puig and Stras and Wright for picks if possible. Id keep Segura/Kipins/Harper/McCutchen/Stanton/Scherezer. Not a fan of keeping a whole bunch of OF. Maybe try to deal Stanton with Hamels for Goldy/Davis if possible. Just look for teams that need more keepers. Make a 2 for 1 with Stanton to upgrade. Then picks for Stras/Puig if possible.

Buffalonians could get all hot and bothered about the new data-crunch from WalletHub that puts Buffalo near the bottom of its "2014's Cities With the Best and Worst Weather" list. But hot and bothered is not how we spend our beautiful summers, even when they are served a nasty slap from an upstart website looking for a little media attention.
Anyone with a sense of history understands why an outside observer might rank Buffalo winters in the bottom percentile, even though our community handles the season better than most places. After all, not everyone likes snow.
What is harder to grasp is how the calculus put the city near the bottom for spring (96th percentile) and autumn (99th percentile). It wouldn't be hard to make the case that spring can be welcoming enough to pull the area into the top 75 percent, and that the bright, colorful, crisp autumns rank even higher.
And then consider summer. How in the world did Buffalo rank in the 97th percentile for SUMMER?!
The young survey author, Richie Bernardo, writes that he ranked 600 municipalities on temperature, humidity and precipitation. He placed Buffalo barely ahead of three cities in Alaska and Youngstown, Ohio. That isn't just for his "cities with mild weather" list. That also is for cities in which people enjoy having four seasons.
It raises the question of exactly what seasons Bernardo was looking at based on his criteria. Optimum summer temperature was set at 80 degrees, which sounds about right for fun in the sun. And that should have gained Buffalo beaucoup points, since we have yet to ever hit 100 degrees. And yet Scottsdale, Ariz., where it was 102 degrees Monday afternoon, ranks in the 11th percentile for great summer weather.
On the other hand, the optimum spring and fall temps for this survey were 65 degrees – still swimming weather around here – and generally not the kind of day most people spend playing football or raking leaves.
And winter? The survey says the best winter temperature is 45 degrees – possibly using the same data as those who chose Sochi, Russia (average daily high 49 degrees) for the soggy Winter Olympics held earlier this year. In the real world, those who love snow sports and white Christmases would say it is either winter or 45 degrees out, but not both, at least not for a seasonal average.
Looking at the bigger picture of the "best and worst weather" list can be even more puzzling, since WalletHub says it is measuring the effect of weather-related events on our pocketbooks. The release puts it this way:
"In the United States, routine weather events such as rain and colder-than-average temperatures can cost the economy as much as $485 billion annually. An inch of snow in Washington, D.C., for instance, will force the federal government to shut down all nonessential operations."
It does not factor in that the same inch of snow has zero effect in Buffalo, Chicago, Denver and other cities, or that in many parts of the country it is not rain but the lack of rain that is costing hundreds of millions of dollars in economic hardship.
Of the 60 cities in the top "10th percentile" on the list, 52 are in California, their locations roughly correlating with a deep scarlet blotch on the U.S. Department of Agriculture map of drought-stricken areas in the Western United States. Deep scarlet is as bad as drought conditions get, worse even than "severe" and "extreme."
WalletHub also says its list was inspired by the fact that it is hurricane season, although its metric only takes into account the chance of wind and snow, rain and hail, not hurricanes or drought-precipitated wildfires. It apparently is worse to be cloudy than smoky, and still air scores better than a nice summer breeze off the lake.

Morning glory syndrome
Morning glory syndrome (MGS) is an optic neuropathy characterized by a congenital funnel shaped excavation of the posterior fundus that incorporates the optic disc malformation (resembling the morning glory flower) MGS is usually unilateral and may result in a decrease in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). MGS either occurs isolated or associated to other ocular or non-ocular anomalies.

Car racing identity dies
The Alice Springs motorsports community is in shock following the death of speedway and off-road racer Wayne Cullenane
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Local racing identity Wayne Cullenane died earlier this week, leaving many in the tight knit motorsports community in shock.
Mr Cullenane was heavily involved in off-road, drag and speedway racing in town, and had several Territory speedway titles to his name as well as coming second in a national Streetstock title in the early nineties.
In later years he became more active in off-road racing, competing in numerous Finke Desert Races, including last year's event where he competed in the extreme 2WD section with navigator Daniel Bartels.
He was a supporter and member of many clubs in town including the Arunga Park Speedway Association, Alice Springs Off Road Racing Club and the Alice Springs Karting Club.
Robert Tucker, President of Arunga Park Speedway Association, says Mr Cullenane was known as 'Uncle Wayne' to junior members of the club.
"He offered financial support, transportation of vehicles and was a mentor to many of the junior members of the speedway club," he says.
"People are in shock."
Dan Hodgins, President of the Central Australian Drag Racing Association, says Wayne put a lot into maintaining the local track.
"He was very active in giving us his support wherever he could to better the track out there, to do improvements and bitumen works to make it a better facility for everyone," he says.
"It's very sad...he'll be very missed."
Mr Cullenane owned local earthmoving company, Central Plant Hire, often lending his expertise and equipment during bushfire season.
Close friend Ray Tebeck says Wayne was a generous member of the community who will be greatly missed.
"It will effect everyone mate, just everyone," he says.
"He helped everybody...if something needed doing he was on it, he was there, always."
"It sounds like an exaggeration but if you dealt with him, you would know."
Wayne Cullenane is survived by his son Scott and his wife Sarah.
His funeral will be held in Alice Springs next week.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback and arguably the most dynamic rookie quarterback from last year's NFL season, Russell Wilson is hosting a football camp in Spokane. The two-day Russell Wilson passing academy is for youth between the ages of nine and 17, and has been traveling the country to places that mean a lot to him. Places like Richmond, Virginia, which is his hometown. He chose Spokane as one of the stops because of the amount of time he spent there during his minor league baseball days. An encouraging fact for Seahawks fans is knowing that no matter what he is doing, his focus is on football.
"I think that's the cool thing about these camps, I'm always in the game of football," said Seattle Seahawk Quarterback Russell Wilson. "And I'm looking at my play scripts and doing that as I'm traveling, but I don't think you ever really get out of it for me. People always encourage me to try to do that, but I don't think that's for me. I'm not that way. I have to be in it all the time, I love the game of football and if I love it, I'm going to be in it."
Truly amazing to see the focus and maturity he has at only 24 years of age. Wilson and his camp will wrap up with a stop in Seattle on the thirteenth.

Street party at Burnhearts benefits Bay View neighborhoods
They'll be dancing in the streets from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday outside Burnhearts, 2599 S. Logan Ave. No worries: They've been doing this for six years. They've got it down. The idea is to raise funds for the Bay View Neighborhood Association.
Restaurants Honey Pie and Classic Slice will be selling food, and there will be an art and craft fair with goods from local artists, plus live screenpainting with Redwall. Braid, Mama Digdown's Brass Band and the Championship will provide the music. DJ WHY B will be on hand. »Read Full Article
Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article

Product Details
Inspired by flats seen on the streets of Paris, our Kiki ballet flats are crafted with a higher vamp, a slightly more tapered toe and a tiny heel (for just a hint of a lift). Our designers also added a classic cap toe—something you'll be seeing a lot of this season—that's pretty much parfait.
Size & Fit Details
Kiki leather cap-toe ballet flats
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lovetheclassics Gorgeous, French- chic cap toe ballet flats This is my 6th pair of Kiki ballet flats--and my third pair that has a cap toe. (This review is for the black/champagne pair.) This is the most exquisite pair yet--AND on- trend now, but really, a timeless style. Chanel-esque for a fraction of the cost! I am a true size 9, and the 9 fits like a glove, whereas I have to take an 8 1/2 in the Gemma flat. The leather on this shoe is very soft and comfy, as a ballet flat should be. If you will be doing a lot of walking in them, take them to a cobbler and put caps and/or taps on them to extend their life. And while you're at it, order a second pair, because when you discover how these elevate the look of almost everything you wear, you will wear them all the time. And you will be heartbroken when you wear them out... July 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lulu Elegante shoes I'm very happy with my news shows, they are really more beautifuls than the photograf, very comfortables , don't miss them buy it now!!! September 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susie Stylish and Smart 'Love the rounded toe and the lift of the contrasting heel. These little beauties will take you from dressed for success to casual Friday. My third pair of Kikis. August 18, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Coco Recommend - with reservations It's nice to have a slightly sturdier ballet flat with a bit of a heel. But the bow is only for show, as the cord around the shoe does not tighten like on a proper ballet flat, so you aren't able to adjust the fit as well - it is just stitched on. And you can also see the stitching - the cording doesn't quite cover it up. Looks sloppy close up. These are a bit too loose on my heel and my foot comes out sometimes as I'm walking or going down stairs, so I'll have to get some grips to put in the heel areas. But happily there is a bit of padding in the insole so they are quite good for walking/standing. So while I'm not totally satisfied, they are stylish and pretty and elegant and since I got them on sale I'll keep them. September 5, 2016

Before Saturday's win over Vancouver in their home opener, the Union were actually fit to be tied.
That's because the day before the game, goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon bought the entire team and front-office personnel blue ties. The Union wear suits and ties to games, and Mondragon wanted to make sure they were professionally attired.
When asked about it, the 39-year-old keeper brushed away questions.
He didn't do it for the publicity, conceding that it was a gesture to help bond the team together.
Then Mondragon said, "Ask Peter about it."
Team manager Peter Nowak was more than happy to discuss the situation.

If the PP isn't monstrously corrupt, why isn't Bárcenas wearing cement shoes?
You're not telling me the mafia's stupid or forgiving, surely?
Empieza a detectarse en España un empecinamiento absurdo por conocer el método de financiación del Partido Popular. Es como si con el testimonio de un delincuente salido del lumpen ya hubiera que hacer caer al Gobierno. Hoy Bárcenas, mañana Makinavaja. Habría que ver esos papeles qué relevancia tienen. Todos nos hemos encargado alguna vez de las cuentas del PP veinte años seguidos y pudimos habérnoslos inventado. Cualquiera pudo haber levantado una ficción con pagos de constructores y fingir entregar parte del dinero a los dirigentes. No puede creerse antes la palabra de un ladrón que la de una persona honorable, por mucho que haya firmado un recibí o haya dicho que recibió el dinero.
I am struggling to imagine construction companies etc handing over millions - the only logical explanation for Bárcenas' bulging accounts - without implementing any system of posterior checks to ensure that at least part of them ended up in the accounts of those directly responsible for assigning them contracts.
Among other mental difficulties this morning: Is Fèlix Millet (English Wikipedia page, anyone?) the Catalan Bárcenas? If he is not, then can someone explain what is so different about his case? If he is, then how come he is still eating in nice restaurants while poor old Luis is handing out clothing in the prison at Soto del Real?
Not among my torments this morning: an acquaintance, protagoniste oublié of this, is apparently wearying of his startling resemblance in mould and manner to LB, but, short of plastic surgery and lessons in humility, what can be done?

Millet is the Catalan Bárcenas, sense dubte. But he hasn't been considered a flight risk probably partly because he is less afraid of waking up dead.
What you're hinting at - some sort of corroborative something - is what's needed. And I agree that it must exist. That doesn't mean we'll see it, of course.

bluebird bio entered a collaboration with Celgene to discover, develop, and commercialize disease-altering gene therapies in oncology. The collaboration will focus on applying gene therapy technology to genetically modify a patient's own T-cells, known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, to target and destroy cancer cells.
Bluebird bio will receive an undisclosed up-front payment and up to $225 million per product in potential option fees and clinical and regulatory milestones. bluebird bio also has the right to participate in the development and commercialization of any licensed products resulting from the collaboration through a 50/50 co-development and profit share in the U.S. in exchange for a reduction of milestones. Royalties would also be paid in regions where there is no profit share including in the U.S. if bluebird bio declines to exercise their co-development and profit sharing rights.
Celgene has an option to license any products resulting from the collaboration after the completion of a Phase I study for each such product. bluebird bio will be responsible for R&D activity through Phase I studies.
Additionally, Celgene has also entered into a separate strategic collaboration in the CAR T-cell field with the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital and The Methodist Hospital, led by Malcolm Brenner, M.D., Ph.D., professor, department of molecular and human genetics and the director, Center for Cell and Gene Therapy.

This book by Jennifer Ashley, was my first exposure to the author. I enthusiastically must say that before I finished book 1, I had already purchased the entire series, anxiously reading/listening to Angela Dawe's masterful performance! I am currently in the second half of book 3, and loving it!
Jennifer Ashley has a wonderfully vivid imagination as is reflected throughout the Mackenzie Brother's series. She artfully illustrates her characters and their environments so that the reader is magically transported into the book to observe each, as their stories unfold.
Each wild and somewhat mad Mackenzie brother is absolutely, and unconditionally devoted to his family, despite growing up with an abusive father. They are all large, and powerful of stature; each one uniquely gifted. They are proud Scotsmen, who live life with a hearty fervor. They are faithful, caring, attentive, and fiercely protective. While they share these traits, as the glue that binds them; they are vastly different in temperament and personality.
The women in their lives are strong, intelligent, and accomplished, making the journey delicious.
A must read for those who enjoy Historical Romance Novels.
I am quiet and love being comfortable. I love curling up in a corner either reading or listening to a nice romantic book.
Right up in the very top. I couldn't and didn't want to put this book down, I enjoyed it so much. It threw me to begin with but I gradually got into it. I was a bit surprised when it dawned on me that Ian is autistic and was very glad that Jennifer decided to write him this way. He was portrayed exactly as I imagined and very eccentric!
Because of Ian autistic portrayal, no other book. It is the first historical novel I have read that has been written this way. I was truly elated with the author for this.
All of it, she did a remarkable job, and kept me interested in the storyline.
Yes, when Beth explained that Ian remembering everything and being able to recall everything was weird at first but she actually came to love that about him. I was so proud of her for actually loving him for who he was and not what everyone was seeing him to be.
I can't wait to catch up on Ian and Beth in the other books in this series.
"Touching romance ruined by narration."
Unique; Romantic;Sensual
It's the hero that makes this story unique. Reading it, I could feel his pain. I also loved the relationship portrayed between the brothers.
Meet the woman that tamed the mad Lord Ian Mackenzie.
I was very, VERY disappointed with the narration of this wonderful and well written book. Ms.Dawe was not able to portray the most important character of this story which was Ian. His character came across too wooden, stoic, That is not what he was.Ms. Dawe's narration is too fast, too forced and I'm sorry to say, extremely annoying. Every sentence has a high pitched ending.
Frankly, I am surprised that a woman was chosen to narrate this story. If this story had been narrated by a male narrator, I believe it would have been much better. I would be willing to buy it again in that case.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Great story from beginning to end!"
Ian is so great. He is not mad but then again, he is completely mad!
I like how Beth could tell right away there was something interesting about him. I love the bluntness of Ian. The fact that he was so direct made him seem mad to everyone, but not to Beth, his Beth. Very cute story. The bed talk was just so cute and funny, but so erotic at the same time. Very good. Worth the credit.
"What a Fascinatingly Unique Hero"
The plot was typical Victorian romance. But the hero was fascinating. He was institutionalized most of his childhood, and today would have been labeled autistic. At the same time he was the classically good looking and brilliant hero. The heroine had a great sense of humor and chattered mindlessly whenever she was nervous. All of which was lost on the hero. Yet somehow they made the perfect couple. They made the book. Truly a joy to get to know. The narrator was OK. She handled the heroine well, but wasn't quite up to all the Scottish male characters.
Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. Reviewer at BiblioSanctum.
"Scrached My Historical Romance Itch"
Prior to listening to this book, I hadn't read a historical romance in quite some time. I think it's safe to say that it's probably been a few years. It's a little harder for me to get into historical romance than some other romance genres, but sometimes, I get the itch to read one. The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie introduces us to the MacKenzie clan, a group of Scottish brothers who are the scandal of London. In London, Ian meets and subsequently begins having an liaison with the widowed Beth Ackerley after warning her away from a dubious suitor. Surrounding their affair is a bit of mystery as an inspector begins hounding them due to the death of a woman with connections to the "mad" brother, Ian MacKenzie, who has spent some time in an asylum. Despite their status and wealth, the brothers grew up with an overbearing, abusive father. We get to dip into some of Ian's torment at the hands of his father and again at the asylum he was confined to and see how these events have shaped him as a person.
I liked both Beth and Ian. Beth was warm, funny, and assertive when she needed to be. I appreciated that she wasn't an 18-year-old virgin, but a woman who'd been with a man, enjoyed sex, and while she had decorum, she eschewed convention for happiness. Ian obviously had Asperger's, which would be seen as defiance and madness in 1881. Ashley was consistent in his actions. His "eccentricities" weren't just conveniences needed for certain scenes and then forgotten. The decision to write Ian on the autism spectrum is probably something you'll never see in a historical romance again. Be warned. This is a fairly steamy book. You're not going to find as much bawdy language in the descriptions as books that take place in modern erotica, but it manages to slip in a few laugh-worthy words and phrases that had me shaking my head a bit. This book doesn't overwhelm you with sex on every page, so it's easy enough to skip over if you don't enjoy reading explicit sex.
A couple of things I wanted to point out that hindered my reading experience a little. Beth flip-flopped between believing Ian's sincerity and questioning it at the strangest times, which was a little odd because she seemed to maintain that she believed him to be a man of his word. I guess she was supposed to be put-off some because Ian wouldn't meet her gaze or always pay attention to what she was saying (all due to his being on the autism spectrum), but Ian was straightforward about his intentions and never wavered in what he wanted from her. Also, even though there's a hint of mystery, this doesn't overtake the romance portion of the story. It's not supposed to, but what I mean is that, despite the fact that Ian stands accused of murder by an inspector, there's not really much official about the investigation. The accusations come from an investigator who has a personal vendetta against the family and uses his own time to "investigate" the matter.
Angela Dawe narrated this story, and this was the first time I've listened to anything by her. She did an admirable enough job even with a few production hiccups in the story, such as sometimes not changing her voice until she caught herself mid-dialogue for the male characters. Overall, I enjoyed the story for what it was, and of course, it ends with happily ever after because of course it does. I don't know if I want to continue reading more about the MacKenzie clan, but I think this has scratched my historical romance itch for a while. When the urge pops up again, I'll certainly consider these books to sate that need.
Just Another Audiobook Addict! Love listening to all types of romances, but occasionally need a good Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or a book with humor!
"Wow! What A Great Histroical Romance!"
Historical romances are not my usual genre but I must say Jennifer Ashley did an amazing job on this story, and I really enjoyed it. There is plenty of hot romance, and a captivating mystery.
The hero, Ian, is not perfect and has "quirks" which makes him see and react to the word differently, This makes him socially awkward to others; however, his brothers love him and will do anything to protect Ian.
Ian saves Beth from marrying a man who would not be loyal, and decides he wants to be the one to marry Beth. He seduces her whenever they meet, slowing drawing her in. Beth is drawn to Ian; however, as things heat up, accusations come up indicating Ian has committed murder. Beth is determine to prove Ian and is brother are innocent.
I liked Angela Dawe performance, and thought she did a great job narrating this story.
I really enjoyed this story a lot, and look forward to listening to the other stories in the series.
"Wonderful Surprise"
Ian and Beth work. This is a romance that makes you feel the love. Two flawed people who find in each other exactly what the other needs to make life worthwhile. A simple premise to romance really, but in so many romances I have read in the past, I finished the book with the vague sense that the featured couple in the book just really didn't seem to belong together. That was not the case with this book. If there has ever been a couple who belonged together, it's Ian and Beth.
Beth is a product of an unfortunate union between a well bred girl and a French con artist. She's seen the seedier side of life. She spent 3 years in her late teens in the workhouse, but was saved by a kind young vicar and became his wife. There's was a happy marriage until he dies and leaves her a widow. She's then taken in as the companion of a grand and wealthy lady, who eventually dies and leaves Beth her fortune.
Being a new heiress, she ventures into different social circles and stumbles upon Lord Ian MacKenzie. Ian is the youngest of the MacKenzie brothers, and by todays standards, would have been labelled autistic. His father, a duke, had him committed to an asylum, but as soon as his father died, his eldest brother, now the duke, gets him released and brings him home. Ian has a phenomenal memory, and helps his brother in certain business and political tasks.
There is a wonderful love story. There is a neat (though a tad predictable) mystery. There is a good deal of humour. What's really special about this book though is the hero and Jennifer Ashley's portrayal of his autism. For the most part, she stays true to the stark truth of the disorder that afflicts Ian, and the effect it has on those around him. Still, she doesn't make him into a victim. Instead he's a strong, brilliant man who has to work within the limitations of the autism.
Never mind his disability, I reckon Ian is one of the sexiest heroes in literature. How the author made it happen, I'm not sure. It sort of snuck up on me. There is no doubt, however, before I was halfway through this book, I was head over heels for Ian, and I see by other reviews that I'm not alone in my adoration.
I have read several books by Jennifer Ashley, and this is the best one by a mile. Her characters are endearing without being too "sweet", her jokes were funny, and the action was paced perfectly.
Angela Dawe is a tried and true narrator, and I always have faith that she will deliver wonderful performance. She certainly didn't let me down here. I loved the way she softened Ian's voice. Her Scot's accent wasn't the best I've heard, but I found it credible. It certainly didn't make me cringe. I thought she delivered a solid performance.
I love Audible! Being a full time wife, mother, and career leaves no time to actually read. Audio books give me my fix anytime and anywhere.
"just a few things"
More focus on the romance developing between Ian and Beth.
Better use of language for the era.
Slow down the narration.
I found there was way to much time wasted on less important subjects; from Mrs. Berrington's opinions finding its way into everything Beth does to antique ming bowls to solving the murder mystery sub-plot. A lot of thorough scenes have Beth galavanting off to distract herself in Ian's absence, but the author kind of just breezes over the times they were in each other's company but not in bed.
I could totally see why these two fall so madly in love, it is definitely clear, but I would have preferred to better know the details. We all read these novels KNOWING how it'll end, but we love the "what" that brings us to the predictable ending.
On the language...
I just don't feel this novel was a good example of a well researched period novel.
Using a lot of flowery words does not make it Victorian.
The flow just felt mimicked from better authors that are authorities on this time period.
She read way to fast and was much to matter of fact.Period.
Otherwise this was a really good book. All the other raving reviews can tell you why. I wrote this one because I always read reviews and I like to know the good + the bad. This is one just to warn futures listeners of this novels considerable flaws.
I feel that if you are interested in listening to a period romance with a serious twist and separates from the normal obstacles our hero and heroine must face in order to be with one another this particular novel definitely offers exactly what you have been searching for.
"This is the Best I've Heard in Romance!"
From beginning to end, the story is captivating; the theme different and truly unique. A mentally ill hero? Wow. To be honest, I usually do not like Angela Dawe's narration (Nalini Singh's novels)however, Angela did a great job. It was even a plus to find this book on sale.
If you like romance, I believe you'll truly believe like this book.

Investment Approach
Seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index. The index measures the performance of the real estate sector of the U.S. equity market.

Just last month, one of those Fools, TerryHogan, succinctly summed up the SRS bear case for our community:
I think demographics will still be good to real estate in the US, as long as the population keeps rising, even with some boomer downsizing (which we really haven't seen too much of -- maybe overhyped). Plus UltraShorts are garbage in the long-term.

kmelfina, you won't be winning against a GS any time soon (you need a lot of practice). They have better range, more power, and are fast in every manner possible. Even a crappy one can own a bard since bards lack the range to keep a GS at bay. The only people who can stand up to GSs with ease are folks who have a crap load of HP or evasion. You can also win against them if you know how to camp. Basically, as long as they can't hit you or knock you back, you can win.
In other words, if you have less than 10k~13k HP or less than 50 evasion... You better hope for a good camping/running map.
THEN AGAIN! The use of back dash, counter, or uppercut coupled with high speed may make gunslingers easier for you to kill. Knowing how to use dips in the ground to duck/make them come to you is also another way to beat them.
The Toad/Treasure maps have dips you can abuse.
The Dot Nuri/Treasure/Yong Gyong maps have decent camping spots.
Luckily for you, many Gunslingers seem to be very slow and don't pick up on tactics such as this... So feel free to use it whenever.
LASTLY!(because this post needs to end and I can probably write a novel on PVPing) you need to practice against something other than a GS. Let's face it, a GS is OP when compared to every other class. A blader or TH around your level would be a good sparing partner. As would another bard. Warlords and Sorcerers are more difficult to handle, and most meisters are near impossible to knock back without a well placed ES or strong tier II skill.
If you want, I can PVP you a couple of times on my bard whenever you want to practice.
