Been riding your boots for the past 10 years.
The Maven is just as solid as all your boot with even less bulk. On the street I wear a size 11 size (vans) sneaker, but with 32 I can rock a size 9.5.
*Important: Try them on before you buy on-line, but once you know your "32 size" it should be safe to say "that size" is "your size" across the line. Also the area around the ankle of the boot is much slimmer than standard boots, so make sure you can adjust your binding straps to accommodate a smaller fit.
The Maven is more than a park and rail boot. It's soft and cruzie, so easy to move around in, but holds up well all over the hill. Liner is warm, easy to remove, drys quickly and doesn't start to stink.
All up, you get a fun and comfy boot at a good price.
Don't believe the hype. Believe in good design:)
Alex H.
I've been riding the Lashed boot for about 5 years now and finally decided to switch it up. After some long thought, I decided to try out the Maven. What appealed to me most was the overall smaller cut of the boot. And man, does it make a difference. They feel like just a normal pair of shoes you'd wear everyday. I was worried that this smaller cut would downgrade the overall responsiveness of the boot, but once I put it on, I realized the boot is just as stiff as the Lashed boot. Pair that with the level two liner that offers the Velcro tongue, and you've got a solid, comfortable boot.
The only downside is that the rubber sole makes it a heavier boot than my Lashed boots with the foam sole. But I'll gladly live with that when compared with all the other upsides of the boot.
The classic black sneaker style means it will go with any pants/outfit you decide to wear. Plus, with the boot's overall compactness, I had to shorten my binding straps down a notch, which I'm not complaining about, with my size 13 feet. I'm able to ride a normal width board without any toe/heel drag with these bad boys!
Thank you 32 for making a solid, comfortable, bad-ass looking snowboard boot. You have yourself a dedicated wearer.

Your Comments
I am actually anticipating this conversation. As a comment on Professor Needleman's quotation regarding individuality v. individualism, I believe it's important to keep in mind that the opposite of the Greek "polis," the citizenry, was the "idiotays," from which we get our English word "idiot." The "idiotays" was the individual or private person, without the capacity (and perhaps desire) to be involved in public affairs. A government of such individuals, if there could be such thing, may well be referred to as an "idiocracy." With our continuing collective love affair with individual rights, often absent individual, much less collective, responsibility, are we, however unintentionally, creating such an "idiocracy"?
The Enlightenment thinkers weren't the first to think that God could be found by examining the natural world: St. Paul states it in Romans.
Great show. If we don't use freedom to promote and practice virtue, we will lose our freedom. As he said, freedom is not for doing whatever we want.
The only thing I would add is that organized religion is the main force in society that upholds virtue and encourages virtue, and virtue is needed, as he argues.
This program brings to mind the classical Greek distinction between the notions of the "polis," the citizenry those involved with public and political affairs, and the "idiotays," the private person or "the individual" who was regarded as unfit (or perhaps lacking the desire) to participate in the public work of democracy. It is from "idiotays" that we get the English word "idiot." Properly understood, this has less to do with native intelligence as it does with a person closed in upon him- or herself. In our current political landscape, which seems to be increasingly a nation of "private persons" clinging to their individuality and individual rights, absent from any sustained thinking on public responsibility, we are, perhaps, moving away from democracy and toward an idiotocracy.
Yes, the deeper spiritual thinkers among my most treasured friends & associates are all angry at what America has become: a superstore cathedral dedicated to money, power, consumption and the lust for more. The endless triumphs of the moneyed private good over the disenfranchised public good, the pandering to all manner of well-connected special interests, the Roman spectacle of misinfotainment passing as tv news journalism and slaying all possibilities for informed civil debate, and the dozens of profitable banal addictions that keep the masses sedated to the point of spiritual unconsciousness. We might as well replace "In God We Trust" with the more contemporary "Just Show Me the Money". A thoughtful examination of the Subprime Meltdown and the subsequent Great Recession reveals the widespread moral corruption, collusion and unfettered greed that has come to dominate Wall Street, our corporate boardrooms, the financial services sector, and our politicians and watchdog regulators. The Great American Experiment has come off the rails, and most of the civilized world can see that even if we cannot. As Globalism proceeds on its merry way, we shall find our economic power in the world waning evermore, so if our moral power declines as well, then fledgling democracies around the world will find it increasingly necessary to ignore our poor example and go their own way. Right now, they are watching how we handle our Federal Debt Limit: will we share the pain as One People or simply pander to the wealthy once again and throw the newly impoverished masses to the dogs? We shall see...
Your eloquent statements are
Your eloquent statements are so enlightening. I del the same way you do, what can we do about it. I am visiting Canada. We can learn a lot about humanity from our neighbors. Thank You SW
Always the broadcasts are helpful. I listen at 7 am on Sunday morning. I,too, am from Philadelphia. I passed along the link to those I listen to on MSNBC asking Rachel to bring them together to reflect on the meaning of our democracy as Mr. N. suggested our senators/congressmen need to do. I am concerned that we are stripping away the essence in honor of the superficial. Profound thinking is discouraged often. It is a quiet, rainy Sunday morning. I wish so many of us would not feel we are wasting our time if we are taking time to think and reflect. Thank you Krista. I do wish your broadcasts could reach more people. Maureen J. Quinn
An inspiring and enlightening conversation with Jacob Needleman. Thank you Krista.
The challenge for all peoples as well as Americans is an appreciation for history, knowledge, philosophy and religious thought. Needleman's comments in response to your request for a further elaboration of 'the pursuit of happiness' calls for a what he states as the development of conscience and its continuing process of self-examination.
Most people are not inclined to pursue that development. Most people are inclined toward what Needleman spoke of as 'ego gratification' and images of the 'good life' materialism.
Krista, thank you for your service and inclusiveness of many areas of thought, religions, philosophies, science and literature, music, etc. You are an infinitely precious soul.
Probably the biggest take-away is this reality that I've never acknowledged: the United States is a guardian of conscience. Wow. True, I've always been aware of the variety of churches, synogogues, etc., but I always considered that a personal issue or a family issue. But I now realize it's much broader than that. It's hard to imagine, e.g., if we lost WWII and we were all speaking German and had to adopt whatever religion the Nazis would allow. What would our nation's conscience look like under Nazi rule? Hard to imagine.
I truly enjoyed this timely discussion on the spiritual and moral aspects of our country's founding. This excellent broadcast is a reminder that the proper roll of government at its core is not to take care of us, but to allow us the freedom to take care of ourselves. I share Professor Needleman's view that it is not too late to change direction. I am happy to report that our high school sophomore son has studied Frederick Douglas. Thanks to NPR, Krista Tippett and Professor Needleman!
I am taken by the discussion about "free speech" and Mr. Needleman's point about the inward responsibility of not only hearing what someone else is saying but also listening and absorbing the concept of what they have said. In this day of tolerance, I think we have regressed to allowing someone to speak in their allotted time but we need to go beyond that, listen and process what they have said. Great topic that could be discussed much further.
First I applaud everything Mr
First I applaud everything Mr. Needleman says about "America" as an idea. I have long advocated the idea of "America" as a vibrant and continuously evolving philosophy – not to be confused with the "U.S.A." which is an increasingly deteriorating government.
Unfortunately Mr. Needleman seems to have missed a fatal contradiction in his assertion that "Government protects society. Society is the realm where people relate to each other in subtle, aesthetic, ethical, spiritual ways that can't be legislated."
Reverse the order of the two sentences in the above statement and the completely self defeating reasoning will become glaringly obvious.
Society is the realm where people relate to each other in subtle, aesthetic, ethical, spiritual ways that can't be legislated. If this is true and I agree that it is, then it is impossible for any government to be anything but hostile to the society it purports to "protect".
Governments have only one mechanism to do what they do. They make laws, they legislate. Then they add injury to insult by enforcing those laws through (the threat of) violence.
Another disappointment for me was how Mr. Needleman uses the collectivist conceit of so many self-proclaimed intellectuals when he says "We need to be able to think together about what these things mean. People don't think." [My emphasis]
"The People" is a fantasy. It is a political illusion without factual reality in nature. There is no such entity. One cannot have a direct conversation with "the People" any more than one can have a direct conversation with "the Government" (another legal illusion). One can only have conversations with individuals. The collectivist conceit I refer to above is manifested in the way those who speak of "the People" invariably exclude themselves when doing so.
I don't know with whom Mr. Needleman has these "conversations about freedom, liberty, representational government, etc., etc". — and when he stopped and asked them what they meant by these things, "they were tongue-tied or they just shouted." My experience is a very different one. Every day I engage people in all walks of life in such conversations. Almost without exception, they prove to be thoughtful and concerned in their responses, ready to express a viewpoint and defend it.
I loved this essay because in
I loved this essay because in my reading it was so far away from the others and the way I heard the program. Would love to hear more about your foundational elements for the role of government in Society. All I could infer is that your philosophy was in keeping with that of many of our founding fathers that Government is Evil, on the one hand, but I couldn't find the other half of the Founding Fathers Debate about how to define government so that it did support society, like Mr. Needleman tried to do, in my hearing. I'm afraid my Mind isn't up to seeing the glaringly obvious things you suggest. Perhaps a few more less subjectively ambiguous words would help. It would appear you are against law, and have some idea about how to enforce laws without "violence", which you seem to use synonymously with "force", as in enforcement. sounds cool. thanks!
I'm reflecting on "what is conscience" in the manner in which Jacob N. uses it/understands it. I'm also wanting to read his book the "American Soul". Finally my mind wandered to imagining a community of thinkers who would meet and engage under a friendly, informal charter to ponder and share thoughts about our understandings of American democracy. And I was gently and kindly inspired by Mr. Needleman's wisdoms and beliefs about the underpinnings of our society and government.
Thank you so much for your wonderful conversation with Jacob Needleman this morning. As one who is very frustrated with the political polarization in our country, I wish everyone could hear Prof. Needleman's take on the beauty of the American system, warts and all. I love that he includes Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, and Walt Whitman in the 'founding fathers,' because they did truly shape the heart of American democracy just as Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and others did. I must say that the discussion renewed my sense of patriotism and reminded me to focus on the deeper meaning of why so many people around the world aspire to become Americans. The notion of 'well being' that many here take for granted is a real luxury in many parts of the world. Thanks you again for the thought-provoking conversation. Keep up the good work. I love your show, it's my alternative to church!
This was a very thoughtful and moving interview. Needleman calls for something that may well be beyond our national means; THINKING together. Not in coarse political action, but real political thinking; reasoning. However, it seems most odd that throughout this entire discourse on our unique national political experiment, not once does either the author or the host breathe the word which embodies and mythologizes the experiment they so earnestly yearn to analyze, the word 'Republic'. Where, in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution will you find the word Democracy? Nowhere. Try saying the Pledge of Allegiance and pause when you get to the word. Why didn't it say Democracy? What so inspired the Continental Congress to deliberately and decidedly avoid constituting this national experiment as a Democracy? And how is it, that over countless decades without really thinking about it, our national collective mind blatantly and unwaveringly makes the most ignorant of political assumptions, that "We are a Democracy"? If we actually THINK about it and not robotic-ally pay lip-service to what has become the current collective illusion, the answer that has been standing there before us for the last 235 years may magically re-appear before our eyes. We are not a Democracy. We are a Republic. As it is said, don't compare apples to oranges.

Hi Mary. I have a question
Hi Mary. I have a question out to our distribution representative at APM about your question. I'll respond as soon as I know something more. Many thanks for contacting us.
I'd love to know which
I'd love to know which Frederick Douglass letter Ms. Tippett read from toward the end of the interview. It was intriguing and I'd love to read the rest of it.
I also want to say that I think that the role of race relations and how they have shaped our American "democracy" cannot be overstated. Mr. Needleman, somewhat cavalierly, states that "there is no more slavery in America" which is not altogether accurate, considering the way the laws of the land have been used to create a prison industrial complex that is surpassed by NONE in the world in size, formidability and lucrativeness for the people who build them.
Addendum to my earlier
Addendum to my earlier comment: I actually found the Douglass speech and find it interesting and disappointing that the editors of the show (perhaps of Needleman's book?) have edited out the very first sentence in the paragraph that was read. The sentence that begins: "Americans! your republican politics, not less than your republican religion, are flagrantly inconsistent." I think that he purposely brings up religion is actually pretty relevant in this context and wonder why it was left out?
The whole speech is here in case anyone is interested: http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?page=2945
Thank you so much for the
Thank you so much for the dialogue with J. Needleman - I listened to it twice and have ordered the book. Brilliant - it has given me a whole new way to view this country.
Is there any way I can hear
Is there any way I can hear the whole interview of Diana Eck. I love the whole, unedited interviews you keep for us to listen. I love being about to hear the actual show, too. But so much is said in the voice of it all. I love it when the interviewed first gets there and yu make connection with the person. Even the glitches, when there are technical problems it expands it all into realness for me. Thank yu to all of you.. i can not even imagine the work On Being must take to produce. I am deeply grateful. And I love seeing and "feeling" the Jefferson Bible. You all led me to be able to "touch" it and read it. I weep for the joy of it all. Cassandra
In the eletion of 2012 there
In the eletion of 2012 there were 65 million Democratic votes and 60 million Republican votes this produced a House of Representatives of 208 Democrats and 234 Republicans, In what world was that considered a democracy.Ionly hope that my vote was not one of the 5 million thrown in the garbage. In a true democracy the recent congressional shenanigans would never have happened!!!!!
Your meaningful interview
Your meaningful interview reminded me of this excerpt from Simone Weil. She had also expounded on the relationship between rights and obligations. She asserts that the help of grace is necessary to become capable of it. Consider how her thoughts here relate to the interview:
"The combination of these two facts — the longing in the depth of the heart for absolute good, and the power, though only latent, of directing attention and love to a reality beyond the world and of receiving good from it — constitutes a link which attaches every man without exception to that other reality.
Whoever recognizes that reality recognizes also that link. Because of it, he holds every human being without any exception as something sacred to which he is bound to show respect.
This is the only possible motive for universal respect towards all human beings. Whatever formulation of belief or disbelief a man may choose to make, if his heart inclines him to feel this respect, then he in fact also recognizes a reality other than this world's reality. Whoever in fact does not feel this respect is alien to that other reality also.

Like-Minded Conversations
Americans remain divided about how much religion they want in their political life. As we elect a new president, we return to an evocative, relevant conversation from earlier this year with journalist Steven Waldman. From his unusual study of the American founders, he understands why 21st-century struggles over religion in the public square spur passionate disagreement and entanglement with politics at its most impure.
We make deeper sense of the human dynamics unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa. Anthropologist Scott Atran offers bracing context on the promise of this moment and the response it asks from the watching world.
Civil rights veteran Vincent Harding died this week at the age of 82. He had a long lens of wisdom on how social change happens. He believed America is still a developing nation when it comes to creating a multi-religious, multi-racial democracy. Vincent Harding spent recent decades bringing young people into creative contact with elders, civil rights veterans — offering experiences of them, as he said, not as figures in history books but "as living and lively and magnificent." We remember Vincent Harding and how he embodied that legacy and its wisdom for us.
One of the world's leading experts on torture, Iranian-American political scientist Darius Rejali discusses, in particular, how democracies change torture and are changed by it. In the wake of Wikileaks revelations about torture in U.S.-occupied Iraq, we explore how his knowledge might deepen our public discourse about such practices -- and inform our collective reckoning with consequences yet to unfold.

Fat causes insulin resistance.
Dietary fat can slow the uptake of carbs but the carbs still count. That may have been what was being referred to. The other posters are correct, body fat can contribute to insulin resistance.
I hope this helps and you can find the full broadcast of the program.
Hope these thoughts help.
Many people have good results by cutting back on the animal fat, rice, flour of any kind and potatoes and of course pasta, chips and bakery. Lean protein such as fish or chicken breast are usually a good choice.
let us know about the changes you have made. I could use some inspiration and motivation myself.
My sense, after watching the pbs programs featuring Dr's Neal Barnard and Joel Furhman, is that Fat and dense sugar products(w/ hi glycemic index #'s) are the problems in diabetes.
Like everyone else is saying, watch the carbs, fats etc. Try to see a dietitian/nutritionist and get a plan for you to follow. There is no standard plan that works for everyone. All of us are different. What works for me might not work for you and vise-versa. Hence the advice from all here to go see someone to talk to and help you with a plan.
Seeing all the comments on here about disliking a vegan diet makes me want to post an answer. I am also a type 2 diabetic (since 1994) and until I started a serious lifestyle change in my way of eating last year I had real trouble keeping my A1c even near 7.0 and my weight fluctuates from a high of 240lb 4 years ago to a196 lb a year ago. I was on meds for cholesterol, High PB/P, triglycerides, max dose of metformin and the max dose of Lantus.
I heard about a lifestyle of eating that had cured many people of diabetes and after reading about this lifestyle dedicated my time to learning and implementing this lifestyle. (you might call it a diet but we in this lifestyle don't call it that as diets have been proven NOT to work). A lifestyle change is different, where you learn to eat right and enjoy it so you do not want unhealthy foods. It is close to vegan, but we do eat one serving of meat @ day. No dairy, no PROCESSED foods. Everything is cooked or consumed from scratch. We use almond milk instead of dairy, coconut oil for cooking and almond butter and seeds to supplement our fats. These fats have been proven to be very beneficial to a diabetic's health. The lifestyle I am referring to you can Google and read about. It is called the Alkaline/Acid lifestyle or diet. If you really want to get this monkey off your back you will do something about it.
After one year, I am off all meds for Cholesterol, triglycerides, B/P, and off all diabetic medicines. I weigh in at 155 lbs (my high school weight) and feel like a new person. The only change I made was to eat healthy foods that this lifestyle recommends.
This article does not seem to condone any fats as good, but, there are good fats found in nuts, seeds, some oils etc. I keep my carbs at 50%, my fats at 30% and protein at 20% and now have no problem controlling my blood sugars if I continue to eat right. My last A1c was 6.2. Several others of my friends on Facebook have either started this lifestyle or been on it for a while and have had great success with their health! You do not have to buy the product some of these people sell, just eat right.
It was not easy, but, even my doctor is interested in how I have taken control and that modern medicine has been unable to provide tthis kind of results.
Atkins wrote a book called Dr. Atkins Nutrition Breakthrough or something like that. In it he says that although his diet is the best diet for diabetes some of his patients "adjust" to his diet (quotes his) and their sugars start to rise. I get the impression that while you are losing weight your sugars might be lower but if you are at your normal weight they can rise. So he devises a "meat and millet" diet in which he adds grains. I think this will not work because he doesn't eliminate meat and fat. He also doesn't seem to mention this in his other books.
Fat causes insulin resistance. Animal protein can cause a spike in insulin sometimes more than some carbs.
On the other hand, I notice many on the group have been low carbing for years. If they are taking no meds and their sugars remain low or get lower then maybe they are doing something right. If it ain't broke don't fix it. But if you are eating a certain way and your numbers climb and you have to take more and more meds then maybe you should take another look at what you are eating.
Look around you. If you know other t2 diabetics you will probably see that unlike people on this group, they are careless about diet and rely on pills. People who come to a support group like this and who want to take charge of their own health are in the minority.
On your diet situation, some fats are needed for the system, just as some carbs are needed. At the same time if a lifestyle works for a person, stick with it. If I get into further trouble where my present lifestyle does not work for me, I will pursue a change that will, if it has to be vegan, so be it. I am a firm believer that humans have not evolved to the modern day diet, and the paleolithic lifestyle is more to our liking when it comes to much of modern disease. After all, the modern diet is less than 3000 years old, in terms of evolution, that is a few minutes.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Manitoba Tories plan new study on PST increase to counter government's
WINNIPEG - Manitoba's Opposition Tories are planning their own study of the economic impact of last year's sales tax increase.
Tory Leader Brian Pallister says a government-commissioned study earlier this year touted new government infrastructure spending funded by the tax hike.
Pallister says the study did not take into account the effect of removing hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayer pockets.
He says that money would have also created jobs and led to economic growth.
The Tories and the NDP government have been citing different statistics on unemployment, average wages and other figures as they argue over the impact of the tax increase.
A government-commissioned report from the Conference Board of Canada in March said the government's infrastructure spending will add $6.3 billion in economic growth over five years.
The sales tax was raised to eight per cent from seven last July, and the government has promised to use every cent to repair roads and bridges and build new flood-fighting projects.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
In a move that may foretell a coming of age for Animas High School, Executive Head Michael Ackerman announced Thursday that the school will be moving from its current home in a bedraggled former strip mall on north Main Avenue to bucolic Twin Buttes during the summer.
In a phone interview just minutes before signing the final paperwork with Twin Buttes, Ackerman said the public charter school had tried and failed to move every year since its 2009 opening and that it occasionally felt like "this day would never come."
Ackerman announced the move in the Rochester Hotel's garden before a crowd of giddy parents and students, hailing the tolerance of Dan Hopper, AHS's erstwhile landlord, noting that when the school first opened, it did so "without a certificate of occupancy for the first three days."
Though news releases had promoted the event as a mystery announcement, Ackerman acknowledged in an interview that it was common knowledge AHS was bursting at the seams and that its contract with Twin Buttes was the "worst-kept secret in Durango."
Ackerman said there were many reasons AHS needed to relocate, noting the school's highway location often meant noise. But the big reason is student enrollment, which has expanded.
Whereas this year the school has 234 students, it already has registered 304 for next year.
Ackerman said its maximum capacity, as determined by Durango Fire & Rescue Authority, was 260, "and I don't know how we'd fit that many, it's so tight as it is."
The school will move to Twin Buttes during the summer. Come September, AHS students will occupy two 12,000-square-foot temporary buildings that currently are "being prefabricated in Denver" and are destined to arrive here by truck in the coming months.
In the meantime, AHS's board is securing funding to construct a permanent building on the Twin Buttes property.
The school will hear if it won a $13 million BEST grant in June.
Ackerman said the catch to winning the BEST grant is that "we'd immediately need to have our financial matching dollars in hand at the end of the year and break ground in spring," meaning the new building could be completed within 18 months.
While that's a dense, if not wishful timetable, Ackerman said AHS might win a later round of BEST grant funding, and if the state Legislature still fails to secure funding for programs that benefit AHS, "we'll be going on a $10 million capital campaign all on our own, dependent on our donors."
At Thursday's announcement party, Ackerman said the move filled him with "an overwhelming sense of joy, accomplishment and admiration."
He reminded parents that it was only a few years ago in 2008 that he was visiting them, "making balloon animals, saying, 'I'm not creepy. Come to Animas, to a school that doesn't really yet exist!'"
While charter schools became something of a craze after No Child Left Behind altered public-school funding, most national studies have found that despite increasing "school choice," charter schools tend to tie and even underperform in comparison to public schools.
So far, this hasn't proved the case with AHS, which, like many Durango School District 9-R schools, uses a project-based learning model.
According to Colorado School Grades, which issues report cards to schools across the state by grading their performance on a curve, in 2012, AHS improved its score from a B- to a B. Durango High School, the largest school in the county, went from C+ to a C.

NGC offers several designations for coins with a documented date of release. These
special designations are used by NGC when coins are accompanied by documentation
or received by NGC for certification within a specified time-window. NGC's conventions
for their use are described on this website.
First Day of Issue
| First Day Ceremony
| First Year of Issue
| First Strikes (discontinued)
| First Strike Ceremony Coins
| Numbered First Strike Editions
NGC will designate FIRST DAY OF ISSUE on circulating US coins that have an official
release date. To qualify, coins must be received by NGC by the official release
date or by overnight mail or air carrier on the day immediately following the official
release date. Alternatively, coins still packed in sealed US Mint issue First Day
Covers are eligible for this designation. Private issue covers are not accepted.
Coins designated FIRST DAY OF ISSUE are encapsulated with regular-format NGC labels.
The US Mint in official statements has indicated that for certain coins it begins
production several weeks before the coins are scheduled to be released ("the
official release date"). By the official release date, the US Mint may have
produced a significant portion of the projected sales numbers for certain coins.
The US Mint issues coins through the Federal Reserve, which in turn makes arrangements
with banks and other financial institutions to ensure that the coins are in their
inventories up to two weeks prior to the official release dates. Coins received
by NGC for designation as First Day of Issue on or prior to their official release
dates may come from a number of commercial or individual submitters.
Occasionally, a US coin is officially released at a ceremony or event organized
by the US Mint or government body overseeing the coin's release. NGC will
designate coins from such ceremonies as FIRST DAY CEREMONY. To qualify, submitters
must notify NGC in advance of the ceremony that they wish to submit coins for the
FIRST DAY CEREMONY designation. Additional supporting documentation may be required
for eligibility. In all cases coins must be sent by overnight courier from the ceremony
location and arrive at NGC on the day immediately following the ceremony.
NGC has developed a special label for use with US Mint first year of issue coins.
A first year of issue is the coin from the first dated year of a new design type.
For example, the Silver American Eagle was first issued in 1986; all American Silver
Eagles dated 1986, in both Proof and Mint State, are eligible for encapsulation
with this designation and special label which is green with the words FIRST YEAR
OF ISSUE at bottom and in overprint at top. A complete list
of eligible coins appears on our website. Additional certification fees
apply, and no supplementary documentation or packing is required when submitting
coins for this designation.
During 2006, NGC used the term "first strikes" for US bullion coinage shipped from
the US Mint within the first month of their official release. This designation is
no longer in use by NGC. First strikes designated coins are eligible for inclusion
in the NGC Registry and are reported individually on the NGC Census.
There are other types of coins of early release which can be designated by NGC.
In some cases the words FIRST STRIKE have appeared on a regular NGC label. This
designation indicates that the encapsulated coin was struck during a first strike
ceremony at the US Mint and NGC has received appropriate substantiation of the fact.
When the US Mint releases a new coinage design, a special event can be held during
which notable figures related to that coinage will be invited to strike the first
of these coins. This has been used on States Quarters and other circulating and
commemorative issues.
On several occasions, NGC has received coinage with official mint documentation
stating that a particular group of coins were among the first examples produced.
These will be represented on their certification label indicating that the encapsulated
coin belongs to this edition. The size of the edition is also included (e.g., ONE
OF FIRST 1000 STRUCK; ONE OF FIRST 50,000 STRUCK). This designation can also be
applied to foreign coins when satisfactory supporting documentation is available.
This designation is available only on bulk submissions.
Q. Does the US Mint sell "first strike" coins?
A. The US Mint does not currently use this term on any coins that
it sells. On their website, they state that, "Currently, there is no widely-accepted
and standardized numismatic industry definition of 'first strike.'" The designations
and terms described on this webpage are conventions developed by NGC for the certification
of early release coinage.
The US Mint announcement on "first strike" coinage can be viewed on their website:

Any other one's to look at? I don't need self propelled, just a good mulcher. What are you guys using.

It Shall Be Known By One Name
by Georgia Hardstark
For a few months now, my girl Alie and I had an idea for the perfect late night/after hours snack. It started as a joke. We found ourselves hungry after last call, and seemed to be having regular cravings for McNuggets.
Alie's obsession and constant quest to find the perfect alcoholic beverage/dinner/dessert (also see: White Russian), led us to concoct what is sure to become the new craze for the upscale watering holes.
Recipe by Alie and Georgia
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
2 McNuggz (plus more for snacking)
1 tub McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce (plus more for licking off pinky finger)
1 lg. Mcdonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake (plus more for bringing all the boys to the yard)
1 bottle Vanilla Vodka (recommended brand: Absolut)
Open the McDonalds bag. Eat one McNugg each, followed by two bites of the Filet-o-Fish (make sure you don't tell anyone that you eat Filet-o-Fishes).
Mix three or four shots of vanilla vodka in the McDonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake, followed by one shot each directly into your mouth.
Rim each martini glass with McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce, and pour milkshake/vodka mixture into the glass. Garnish with a McNugg (which is to be swiped along barbeque sauce rimmed glass after the milkshake has been finished, and consumed with pure, unadulterated glee).
Photographic Evidence (thanks to my sister, Leah):

It's bad luck to pour your own McNuggitini

After months of daydreaming, the final product is here!
"To life."
"Oh sweet Jesus."
Try really, really hard not to vomit.
Try again.

Oh my god.
Flippin' hilarious. I have just been inspired!
You're both lovely. Your collective awesomeness has inspired me to my own thrilling gastronomical/alcoholic heights: The Cornedbeeftini: "rim" the glass with thinly sliced, 1×3 strips of lean corned beef; prepare a shake of a dollop of brown spicy mustard, a shot of Dr. Brown's Cream Soda and the varnish of your choosing (preferably something smoky, like Wild Turkey or any good Scotch). Pour, and please enjoy.

I do enjoy the way you have framed this specific issue plus it does indeed supply me some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, because of everything that I have experienced, I simply wish when the commentary pack on that people continue to be on point and don't get started on a tirade involving some other news of the day. Yet, thank you for this excellent piece and though I can not really agree with the idea in totality, I value the viewpoint.

Been watching Legend of the Seeker on Netflicks. Looks really good! Anyone remember it from a few years ago?
Been watching Legend of the Seeker on Netflicks. Looks really good! Anyone remember it from a few years ago?
The show is about the renegade crew of a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the fictional USS Colorado (SSBN-753), that defies an order to launch nuclear missiles towards Pakistan, a decision that costs the commanding officer his job when he refuses to follow out the orders without an explanation or official confirmation. When his replacement also questions the same orders, the vessel is fired upon without warning and the crew are left for dead. Realizing that they have been declared enemies of their own country, they set up camp on the fictional island of Sainte Marina, and declare themselves a sovereign nation with nuclear capability. At the same time, the crew must find a way to prove their innocence and find out who set them up so that they can return home to America.
Ridciulous with a capital R!
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Actually some of those are ridiculous to me, but that doesn't mean they aren't entertaining. But the difference to me with The Last Resort is it's intent. It's not trying to be sci-fi, vampire, supernatural, or anything not based in reality. It's trying to be a gritty drama based in real time environment on a submarine. To do that, you have to have some plausible scenario to make the drama work. This one doesn't work that way, it's just some made up junk that lacks that authenticity that this style drama demands. Setting up a new sovereign nation?? Really?
Essentially this show took the plot of the Gene Hackman/Denzel Washington movie Crimson Tide and expanded it in a bad, non-sensical way. JMHO
No, I just saw the trailer.
I am in denial about Alcatraz. I want it back !
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
Alcatrazz, Terra Nova and Terriers from the season before are all lamented by me.
Nice to see Terra Nova has so many fans. Oh well... I am gonna buy the DVD soon hopefully. BTW Does anyone know when Person of Interest will be back?
Did anyone watch part 1 of Coma last night? I don't usually hold out a lot of hope for A&E mini-series, but I did record it last night and will try to catch up before part 2 airs.
I have only a very vague recollection of the book ...
Just watched the pilot of "The New Normal". OMG, fantastic! I have it on season pass.
By fluke I caught a few minutes of Matthew Perry's show. Something about mocking a woman who works as a counsellor for Weight Watchers? How could I have loved "Friends" so much, but have gotten to the point that even a few minutes of a Matthew Perry program will keep me from getting a good night's sleep?
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Grimm is on hiatus until September 28th.
As for "Go On", I hope you give it one try. Perry's character was talking to his grief counselor, who admitted that her counseling experience amounted to her time at Weight Watchers. I found the show kinda touching and sweet.
Although I am an avid Happy Endings uber, I think a Go On/New Normal/Parenthood combo will be irresistible.
I thought the premier ep of "Go On" shown during the Olys was really good, poignant and funny. Plus, Matthew has a bunch of sports stars and references in the show! Notice the Jonathan Quick jersey in the background? Matthew is a huge fan of the Stanley Cup champion LA Kings and of Jon Quick in particular.
We will see tonight if the pilot was just a one shot thing or can they sustain the quality.
I actually watched the first two episodes of Go On and enjoyed them very much. I refuse to give up my Happy Endings though (I adore that show!) so my recorder will get even more of a workout if I choose to keep watching it. I'm all ready having to record Chicago Fire (will be watching Nashville live...Connie Britton!!) and Revolution (will be watching Hawaii Five-O live....or vice versa, I haven't really decided between these two shows yet! ) plus I get home late from youth group on Sunday nights so Once Upon a Time is all ready on the schedule to be recorded every week. Why did so many things get scheduled on the same nights this year??! I really don't watch a lot of TV overall anymore so this is ridiculous.
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
"I guess I'm just...I'm not used to someone putting me first." -Emma, Once Upon a Time, episode 2x3, Lady of the Lake
It was also driving me nuts where I'd seen Bryan before, then right at the very end I figured it out: he was the original Elder Price in The Book of Mormon. (And as an aside ... when I checked imdb for his other credits, I see that a movie version of BoM has been announced , and Rannells is rumoured to reprise the role.)
I also tried watching World without End, which just started airing on Showcase in Canada. I didn't have very high expectations ... but even those were not met. Forced myself to watch to the end of the first episode, but that was plenty. Ugh.
(And who was the deluded casting agent who thought Cynthia Nixon could pull off an even remotely passable English accent? )
Finally read all the posts in the thread.
So far - loving Grimm, sad to have to wait for more.
Can't wait for NCIS
Like The New Normal, but I agree with Artemis about Nana. I think she would be far more effective if she was dialed back a bit. But hey, it's brought to you by the Glee folks, so no surprise that it's a bit OTT. And speaking of Glee. ere it is only hours from the season debut, and no one has started a Season 4 thread?? Wow!
