As the weather warms up, and you head outdoors, it's the perfect time to grab a gripping read.
These books deal with the automotive industry, but often go beyond mechanics or sheet metal. They're worth tossing into the beach bag.
"ENGINES OF CHANGE: A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IN FIFTEEN CARS" by Paul Ingrassia; Simon & Shuster, 395 pages ($30)
If you know little, if anything, about the history the automobile and its impact on American life, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Ingrassia's book will serve as an easy, quick introduction. For car enthusiasts, this book will serve as a breezy read, and as fodder for countless arguments with fellow aficionados over a brew. It's the perfect beach read: seemingly serious, but seriously fun.
"CARROLL SHELBY: THE AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY" by Rinsey Mills; Motorbooks, 464 pages ($35)
To automotive enthusiasts, the late Carroll Shelby is a legendary racecar driver, whose brief career behind the wheel of Maseratis and Ferraris found him competing against some of the most revered drivers of the era. Once his career ended due to a heart condition, he created the iconic Shelby Cobra, and a number of performance cars that bear his name.
This 464-page tome dwells mostly on Shelby's racing career and how it led to his eponymous sports car.
"MONDO AGNELLI: FIAT, CHRYSLER AND THE POWER OF A DYNASTY" by Jennifer Clark; John Wiley, 360 pages ($29.95)
Jennifer Clark follows the Agnelli family's company, Fiat, from its origins in a 19th century coffee shop to an international firm that once accounted for a major portion of Italy's GDP. Gianni Agnelli and his brood were Italy's Kennedys and their family history reads like a romance novel.
When Sergio Marchionne, Fiat's current CEO, enters the scene, the book's tone totally changes from a tawdry family soap opera to a gripping business narrative, revealing the extreme measures taken to prevent Fiat's collapse and the similar measures used to snare and revive Chrysler.
"AMERICAN ICON: ALAN MULALLY AND THE FIGHT TO SAVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY" by Bryce G. Hoffman; Crown, 432 pages ($26)
If most Americans were surprised that Ford Motor Company didn't take a government bailout, this book shows how close it came and how CEO Alan Mulally's foresight saved them from the fate that befell General Motors and Chrysler. Having covered Ford Motor Company for The Detroit News since 2005, author Bryce Hoffman certainly knows his subject. "American Icon" quickly and authoritatively sets the stage and whisks the reader effortlessly through the events of Ford's past decade.
"THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF JOSEF GANZ: THE JEWISH ENGINEER BEHIND HITLER'S VOLKSWAGEN" by Paul Schilperoord; RVP Publishers, 274 pages ($29.95)
The origins of the Volkswagen Beetle are familiar to many VW aficionados and runs something like this: German Chancellor Adolf Hitler hired Ferdinand Porsche to create and produce the Beetle, then known as the Strength Through Joy car. Schilperood's book strays from this accepted dogma. Josef Ganz, a German journalist and engineer, advanced the idea of a streamlined, rear-engined "volkswagen" with an independent suspension, light weight and low horsepower in the late 1920s.
The book chronicles Ganz's rising influence, the industry's acceptance of his ideas and, ultimately, of being stripped of his position by the Nazis before fleeing Germany. Schilperood's contrarian history makes for intriguing reading.

Rights of Passage, a world premiere, follows one man -- Wayan (Jomar Tagatac), a gay Balinese Hindu -- but its scope is LGBTs throughout the world. With the help of organizations like Amnesty International and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, playwrights Ed Decker and Robert Leone (who are married) interviewed LGBTs in America, Asia, Europe, and Africa; those interviews became characters who share with Wayan three rites of passage that structure the play: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. At what Decker calls "points of confusion or indecision," a member of the international medley (RJ Castaneda, Michaela Greeley, Dazié Rustin Grego, Christopher Morrell, Randall Nakano, Anthony Rollins-Mullens, Desiree Rogers) interrupts Wayan's coming-of-age story. "We might in that moment jump over to Africa and see the experience of a lesbian who's experienced collective rape," Decker says. "Or we might go over to Thailand and meet a transgender woman. Or we might go to the Deep South and meet a fierce black drag queen." Director Arturo Catricala accomplishes the transitions with everything from music to masks to puppetry -- through juxtaposition and solidarity, what Decker calls "the challenges and struggles of the LGBT" become "the triumph of the human spirit."

We have released new versions of our core crypto and SSL/TLS libraries:
iSaSiLk 4.5
We have released the new IAIK PKCS#11 Provider version 1.4 and the new IAIK PKCS#11 Wrapper version 1.3. These versions now use UTF8 encoding for character array attributes and furthermore include some fixes and enhancement for improved usability.
Please click on to their logos or links to visit their websites. If you are a customer, and you are not listed here, but would like to be, please send us your logo and your URL.
Do you really need an export license for us?
How long does it take until we get the product shipped after we order?
Can we get a copy of the source code without buying unlimited developers licenses?
I don't understand what a server license is. Please explain.
How many server licenses do I need?
Licenses for different future product purchases
Can I use licenses purchased at IAIK also after the transfer of names?
What are the main differences between developer versus runtime licenses?
This depends. We need to get some paperwork from you, which might take some time - if e.g. we require an import license from your country, or may be fast, if its simply a declaration you sign. As soon as we have all documents, we can apply for the export license, which typically takes about 4 weeks to get. We cannot guarantee any schedule, however! Therefore: please do not wait until the last moment to order our toolkit! If you want to ship tomorrow and order today it is too late (and contradicts our evaluation license most likely).
Typically a server license is either needed when running a service on a server-type-installation, or when providing applets and comparable things on a website. So if you develop programs that are run on a client computer (applet) or on behalf of a client computer (servlet), and where the number of client computers cannot be determined in advance, you need a server-license.
This depends. Basically, you require one license for each server your software is installed on. The number of server licences you need depends on the number of server names that hosts your application and the number of processors of the physical machine. If your server application is accessible through one server name which runs on one physical machine having one processor, 1 server licence of IAIK is enough. If you have more server names or more processors, the number of server licences you need is the number of server names multiplied with the number of processors. The number of Java™ virtual machines does not matter. If you have only one developer working with one of our IAIK toolkits, one developer licence is enough. For developer licenses, only the number of developers count who work with the IAIK toolkit.
Can I use runtime licenses which I purchased time ago together with developer licenses at Stiftung SIC, also for different future product purchases?
Your runtime licenses are always linked with the corresponding developer license(s), they were purchased with. This means that in case you renew your licenses, you have to update your developer license, as well as your runtime licenses.
Developer licenses:
These licenses allow you to develop applications based on our toolkits. You can choose between a limited number and unlimited developer licenses (depending on the number of developers within your company working with our toolkits). In case you purchase developer licenses at Stiftung SIC, you will then be able to download new product versions for one year. For further details about developer licenses, please have a look at our licence conditions.
Runtime licenses:
These licenses are non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licences to run the respective number of IAIK-Crypto software-based applications that have been developed by the Licensee under a developer licence. They are transferable to customers or other third parties, which means that if the customer or other third party acquires a certain number of licences for IAIK-Crypto Software-based applications from the licensee, the respective number of runtime licenses are transferred to the customer. If the licensee grants his customers an unlimited number of runtime licenses, the licensee also needs an unlimited runtime license from Stiftung SIC.

COUNCIL APPROVES RAISESfrom Eyewitness News Online Dunbar Council Approves Raises For Mayor, City Clerk Reported by: Bethany Simmons Web Producer: Bethany Simmons Reported: Jan. 8, 2013 10:32 AM EST Updated: Jan. 8, 2013 10:45 AM EST
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
Some city officials in one Kanawha County town will see more money in their paychecks later this year. Dunbar City Council members voted in favor of salary raises for the mayor and city clerk at Monday evening's council meeting. The proposal for those raises was introduced at the city's last council meeting. Mayor Jack Yeager said the city's budget permits a $3,000 raise for those positions. Currently, the mayor makes $38,000 each year, but with the approval of the salary increase, the position will pay $41,000. Yeager said the raises are consistent with a 25-cent per hour raise granted to city workers last year. "The mayor, of course, is a difficult job. The mayor of Dunbar makes proportionate to the other mayors but not as much as the other mayors because the cities are slightly bigger, but it's a 24-7 job," Yeager said. "We're hoping we can entice people to come and apply and run for the job." The increases will take effect after the city's election winners take their seats in July. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

We have all heard how the so-called "Bush" tax cuts were only for the wealthy 1 percent and their expiration would have little impact on the middle class.
Well I have some very bad news for the average taxpayer in the old 5th Congressional District. According to IRS data (compiled by the OMB and the House Committee on Taxation) and based on the tax filings for the Massachusetts 5th District for 2009 and 2010, on Jan. 1, 2013, the average increase per taxpayer will be $4,305, whether filing as a single or jointly.
This is on top of an erosion of wages over the last four years and a significant drop in individual net worth due to the fall in home values. Not only do rates increase on all forms of income, the death tax exclusion drops from $5 million to $3.5 million and the rate increases from 35 percent to 55 percent.
And Obamacare adds 3.8 percent tax on salary and investment income over $250,000. For business, the 2009 Stimulus extenders, the payroll tax deductions, and investment tax credits all go away.
This is a tsunami of almost $500 billion in tax increases that is not spread over 10 years, but is hitting everyone in a single year. If Congress does nothing, this will be the largest tax increase in the nation's history and would likely plunge the country into another recession and perhaps a depression.
At present there does not appear to be any interest in Washington to deal with this fiscal disaster before the election. This means it will
This is a bipartisan mess and it will take a bipartisan effort to solve it, and time is rapidly running out. If you want more information on this subject, go to http://www.theheritagefoundation.org/ and follow the links to "How Taxmageddon will affect you."

Guild Wars 2 - Two Weeks In
Guild Wars 2 - Two Weeks In
Last week we talked about how Guild Wars 2's changes to quest systems and the world of Tyria made it more addictive, but the questing is only the icing on the cake. The flour of this cake then, is the combat. PVP are the eggs probably and crafting is the milk. Those flowers on top, the ones that you can eat but I personally find disgusting, are Black Lion Chests. We might have gotten a little side-tracked here. Combat is my point folks. Combat.
That's right. It was astonishing, back when Guild Wars 2 first launched, to see the plethora of games journalists who were having trouble with the game - particularly the combat. Whether because I am super-smart (probably) or because of my relative inexperience with the standard way of doing things, I found the game to be fairly intuitive - but others were not so lucky. People tended to have particular trouble grasping the way weapons alter skills. In basic terms, the weapons you have equipped change what skills you have available in combat. As a necromancer for example, equipping a Dagger in my main hand gives me the skills Necrotic Slash, Life Siphon and Dark Pact. Equipping a Scepter in my main hand gives me the skills Blood Curse, Grasping Dead and Feast of Corruption. All professions can equip up to two weapons at once - one in your main hand and one in your off-hand - the weapons equipped in your off-hand decide your fourth and fifth skills available. As a necromancer, equipping a Focus in my off-hand gives me the abilities Reaper's Touch and Spinal Shivers. Equipping a Warhorn would instead give me Wail of Doom and Locust Swarm. Tying skills to particular weapons does limit choice compared to the 'whatever skills you have' method, but by doing so it also increases the strategy required - making combat against generic enemies more interesting. For example, the Focus skill Reaper's Touch causes vulnerability on enemies while regenerating any allies it passes through on the way - making it a prime skill to go along with a ranged weapon like the Scepter. I spend roughly 10 minutes a day playing with dyes. My Dagger is significantly more powerful than my Scepter however - and once an enemy is afflicted with vulnerability I can tear through their health like a kid opening a present. I also have a Staff - a two handed weapon filling all five skill slots, which primarily focuses on Mark attacks - magical traps, excellent for large groups of enemies. Tapping ~ in game allows you (once you reach the necessary level) to switch between two weapon sets - in effect giving you ten abilities to choose from. I can now equip the Dagger and the Focus in one set to quickly take care of single targets, with the Scepter and Warhorn in my alternate set for groups (Wail of Doom stuns enemies, which I can then drop with the Targeted AOE Grasping Dead.) Or I can go with the Dagger and Focus, with the Staff for groups - or any combination of the above. Along with your five weapon skills, you also get to choose slot skills - into which you put skill points acquired through levelling up and doing challenges about the world. These are primarily where you choose your characters role - a Minion Master Necromancer will build slot skills around summoning - from the lowly Bone Fiends all the way up to the Hounds of Balthazar. A Conditional Necromancer (like myself) will focus on slapping enemies with malignant effects, crippling, bleeding and poisoning their way to victory. Currently, my favourite tactic for a difficult group of opponents is to use Grasping Dead on them, followed by Wail of Doom to hold them in place. Signet of Spite inflicts bleeding, blindness, cripple, poison and vulnerability on my target and if they have any boons, I convert them to conditions with Corrupt Boon, followed by Epidemic - which transfers all of my targets conditions to enemies near them. I finish it off with Feast of Corruption - which does additional damage and grants Life Force for every condition suffered by my target. The Life Force is particularly important, due to the Necromancer�s Profession mechanic - the Death Shroud. Each Class gets Profession mechanics - some, like the Elementalist and the Engineer get several, while others - like the Necromancer - get just the one. When I played as an Elementalist and an Engineer I regularly used the Profession mechanics - they are a vital part of playing those characters. With the Necromancer however, I have mostly ignored my Death Shroud - or more correctly, forgotten it. As I have learned fighting monsters above my pay grade in the past week however, that was a mistake. Death Shroud is powerful, but not as powerful as that incoming hammer blow. Death Shroud replaces all currently equipped skills with four new ones and changes the Necromancer to a shadowy version of their former self. A Necromancer in Death Shroud doesn�t have a health pool - instead they lose Life Force when attacked... and it also decreases over time. Fortunately the new skills packaged with Death Shroud help make up for it. All of them are significantly more powerful than the standard weapon skills - Life Blast deals damage based on how much Life Force you currently have, Dark Path teleports you to an enemy and afflicts surrounding enemies with Chill - dropping their speed significantly, Doom makes your enemy flee in the opposite direction and Life Transfer steals health from all surrounding enemies, giving you Life Force in return. In short, a Necromancer not using Death Shroud is a Necromancer not living up to their potential. While setting up your skills correctly is definitely an important part of a good build, your gear also plays an important role - especially because of Sigils and Runes. Early on in the game, assuming you are mining and chopping down wood, you will find gems - pebbles of Amber, Garnet and Pearls - which give a slight increase to your stats and can be equipped to weapons, armour and accessories. As the game progresses and you reach higher levels, you start finding Nuggets instead of Pebbles, giving you a higher bonus to attributes - and before too long the Nuggets are replaced by Lumps and so on. While the attribute bonuses you can get from gems are handy (and can be improved upon by a Jeweler�s crafting) you soon start to find upgrades which are better - for weapons Sigils and for armour Runes. If I can just reach... Sigils primarily focus on giving you bonuses when you do something - when you inflict an enemy with vulnerability Sigils of Peril increase the time that vulnerability lasts, Sigils of Blood give you a percentage chance to inflict Life Steal on an enemy when you do critical damage and Sigils of Bloodlust give you a bonus to your Power with every enemy you hit. Runes on the other hand, apply passive bonuses to your armour - with additional effects depending on how many of the rune you have equipped. So if you have one Major Rune of the Citadel equipped, you gain a +15 bonus to Power and if you have two you also get an increase to burning duration. If you have Major Runes of the Citadel equipped to three different piece of armour, you gain the Power and burning duration bonuses - and an extra +35 Power (making for +50 Power total) and four runes equipped gives you a 3% chance to gain fury any time you are hit - making it quite worthwhile. Of course, while you might be fortunate enough to find some Sigils and Runes (most often affixed to weapons you can�t use) early on in the game, it�s difficult to build a character around them until you get towards the end game - particularly as, unlike jewels, they can�t be crafted - or at least not in the conventional sense of the word. But that, friends and enemies, will have to wait until next week - when we take a look at the mind-boggling crafting system!

Hopkinton selectmen close to hiring new fire chief
Jim O'Brien, chairman of the board of selectmen, said a committee including firefighters, local fire chiefs from surrounding communities, Town Administrator Neal Cass and Police Chief Stephen Pecora have sifted through the pool of more than 50 applicants for the position of fire chief. The group then interviewed the top five or six finalists and have referred the top two or three to the board of selectmen.
"Next week we'll interview those final candidates and we hope that by the end of the week, we'll have a new fire chief," said O'Brien.
O'Brien said there will have to be an offer and acceptance by the chosen applicant and negotiations over salary and benefits, but the hope is to have the new chief on board by the end of February or beginning of March.
In September, the town lost its first full-time fire chief when Rick Schaefer suffered fatal cardiac arrest while on the job. Schaefer had held the position of chief since 1999 and had been a member of the department for 32 years.
Shortly after Schaefer's death, the board promoted Deputy Chief Jeff Yale, a 20-year veteran of the department, to the position of interim chief.
O'Brien said that Yale has helped make the search for a new chief less stressful.
"He's been doing a great job and really stepped up," said O'Brien. "The department is running well, so if it takes another month for us to have a chief in place, we'll be OK."
In the meantime, the town is still studying the future of the main fire house in Contoocook and won't be putting any proposals before the taxpayers for renovations or a new station this year.
"At last year's town meeting we asked for $25,000 to conduct a feasibility study to look at renovating the current station or possibly building a new on near the site of the old highway garage," said O'Brien.
The town hired an architectural firm to do the study, but more information is needed before making a decision about how to proceed. The board may ask for more funding for continued study at town meeting in March, and plans to make a presentation about what has been learned so far, but O'Brien said there won't be a proposal for renovations or a new building at least until 2014.

Highway Haiku: Crunching leaves
Crunching leaves
Shuffling through dry leaves
One of life's distinct pleasures
Wet ones … not so much

If you ... read more [+]use nanostudio you can import your favorite samples to a folder and use them MPC like or in one of the four synths plus you re-sample any sound or pattern you create.

Just got an I pod 4th gen and it works good with fewer glitches then my ipod 3rd gen how ever you will need to find something to put behind it as the 4th gen is super thin. I cut the strip that comes with the synthstation in half glued one side to the other and it supported it well. Thanks Akai this product is what I'v been looking for for years. Now please make the next one with audio inputs for sampling 37 keys and make an app thats more like nanostudio with more tracks and ill bye it before it hit shelf's. close [-]

I doubt the tudou moderators understood the critical tone of the song -- "Men seek retreats for themselves, houses in the country, sea-shores, and mountains; and thou too art wont to desire such things very much. But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul." -- Marcus Aurelius

Hollywood Dress Up - Audrey Hepburn & James Dean
I went to a Murder Mystery Hollywood themed party the other weekend and dressed up as Audrey Hepburn and Mr P went as James Dean.
I'm a bit of fan of creating my own outfits for fancy dress, a trip to the op shop and some accessory shops and a hunt around my wardrobe and I can usually come up with something pretty good.
I went for Audrey's Breakfast at Tiffany's look and found a long black halter dress from the op shop for $6, the first one I tried on and it fit perfectly! The diamonte collar was from Diva $35 that I bought recently to go with a wedding outfit and the diamonte and pearl hair clip was a great find at Temt $3. The satin gloves, pearl bracelet, diamonte studs and suede heels I already had.
For my hair and makeup I used my hair accessory that pulls my hair into a tight bun and then clipped the diamonte and pearl clip around and unleashed the hair spray to tame the fly aways. Audrey was a fan of natural make up so I used nude eyeshadow, lightly smoked black eyeliner, lashings of black mascara and rose toned lipstick.
Mr P wore his tightest fitting jeans, a white bonds t-shirt and pack of cards that looked like cigarettes up his sleeve and he was an instant James Dean lookalike.
The Murder Mystery party had a hired host who organised us into groups, gave us each a name to play by (I was The Oscar Winner and Mr P was The Villain) and had us competing for clues to figure out who the murderer was. It turned out the murderer was someone in my team and we won the Best Sleuth Award for guessing correctly and dobbing him in!
It was a really great night with lots of fabulous costumes and the Murder Mystery was fun to play out.

Hi Michelle, just 'discovered' your blog through your comment on House Nerd - so happy to have come across your blog (especially one that is in Perth, I have to admit!) You look fantastic and congrats on the $6 dress find, what a score! Bookmarked your blog and looking forward to reading much more - and seeing pics of your 60s home renovation! x

text: Asking The Tough Questions For Clearwater BeachBy Anne McKay Garris"Do you think the City's development code which allows buildings to come closer to the lot lines, is good, or bad for the Clearwater Beach community?" is one of the questions which will be put to the Clearwater City Council candidates next Wednesday evening at the Clearwater Beach Association's Candidates Forum. Some of the other questions will be on the subject of enforcement of short term rental laws - researching special funds like the parking fund and the Downtown fund to find needed monies for libraries, recreation centers, police and fire protection - subsidizing private parking garages - protecting the environment of the beach. The six Council member candidates have accepted the CBA invitation to be on hand and answer the questions, some of which will be accepted from the audience. Members of the public are invited to attend the forum, meet the candidates and hear their answers to pertinent questions so that they will be better informed to decide how to vote. The Forum will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center on Wednesday, February 10. |

My mom is very crafty. She's extremely creative, which feels like a complete understatement. She's amazing. She has been, in a variety of different ways, trying to get me to make a quilt. Its been going in one ear and out the other. Been there. Done that. Not doing it right now!
Then she started pulling out fabric. Asking for my advice. Oh she's clever. She knew once I looked, felt, and started creating, it was just a matter of time. She was right, yet again. I couldn't help it. She had some pretty awesome fabric.
I picked my fabric. I cut. I pinned. I stitched. I ripped out stitches. I stitched. I ripped out stitches. I got pissed. I took a trip to Ross to purchase a sheet set (much cheaper for a backing than purchasing fabric). I got happy. I bought the batting. I puzzle fit the sheet and batting to fit my king size quilt. I pinned together. I sewed. I banned. And FINALLY, I slept under it last night. The binding is pretty sweet. I took a bunch of different fabrics and sewed them together randomly. I wish I had thought of that sooner; I could have planned on a thicker binding. Arrggghhhh…next time. All in all, I really had fun. That's probably because I used bonded cotton batting. That's the good stuff.
So onto my next sewing adventure. I really need a new bag and am starting that tonight. Oh, I've got the sewing bug and it's sure to last.

I bought these for my daughter, but got the same pair for me (in another color). They have a really cushy foot bed and are really comfortable. This color combo is really punchy for summer.
I haven't worn these out yet, but tried them on and they are so comfortable. They have a really cushy foot bed. Look and feel really nice.
These are one of the best pair of flip flops I have ever purchased! Great quality, extremely comfortable and awesome style!
I loved these shoes from the moment I took them out of the box. They fit comfortably from the first wearing. They are soft and flexible and still support my feet. They arrived just before I left for a week's vacation. I wore them to the airport, and they were so easy to slide on and off while going through security. They proved comfortable for a long day of travel, and they looked nicer than sneakers.The color is more pink than red, and I like it--softer and more subtle in tone. They seem well-constructed and sturdy, and yet they are stylish--kind of preppy chic. The white stitching is a nice touch. I have received so many compliments on these shoes from friends and strangers. I woman admired the shoes while we were waiting in line to use an ATM. I highly recommend them.
I have looked everywhere for espadrilles to wear at the office, on the weekends and most importantly on my upcoming cruise in Russia. I thought these Sperry's fit the bill. They are cute, stylish and more comfortable than one would expect for shoes with jute soles, Unfortunately, after two weeks of wear, the left rubber heel/sole detached from the bottom of the shoe. Not so good. A little super glue later, I figured all was well. Imagine my disappointment when today I noticed that some of the top-stitching around the inner side of the right shoe has also come apart. The linen has come away from the base of the shoe. In order for them to last in Russia, I feel like I need to our them away for another month before we leave. Pretty crappy workmanship for a pair of shoes. And since I've worn them for a couple weeks, I can't imagine that I could return them. And so my journey for the perfect pair of espadrilles continues.

Finally found a pair of top-siders that fit! Was able to order wide width and it made all the difference. Also the Sperry brand can't be beat for overall boat-shoe-expertise...I feel like other brands (with the possible exception of Bass) are just me-too's. Thanks to Zappo's for carrying the inventory required to serve those of us with fat feet too!
Adorbs as you can get for a boat shoe!! I got the Angelfish in Gold and love it - very cushioned insole and definitely will only get better with age. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that the shoe runs big. I am a pretty solid size 9 in every shoe I buy, but these fell off the backs of my feet right out of the box (and they do tend to stretch). I am returning the 9, and trying both an 8 and an 8.5 because I can't decide if these are 1/2 or a full size off. Also, the run on the wide side - I have a wider toe box, so that is perfect for me.
Delicious Amaretto leather outer and nice sheepskin lining. Good support and I found these true to size, needing only a few hours break in to get used to the feel of them. As others have mentioned, if you wear them barefoot sweat will lift the removable insole out when you take them off; I use a no see um sock liner. They look and feel great. There is some speculation on the web about how to match their color with polish I speculate it can be done with a mix of cordovan and dark brown, or perhaps Meltonian s Dusky Brown cr me. So far, I get by with an occasion touch up with Bick 4 conditioner. I wear them often it s hard to keep away from their lush feel and look, even without boat ownership.
I'd recommend the Audrey shoes to anyone! They are super comfortable and come in a variety of colors! This is my second pair of Audreys in less than a month. Love them!
Love these shoes. Everyday walking comfort with great style. Plaid doesn't show unless wearing skinny jeans (but it looks cute when it does). Run 1/2 size bit & fit relaxed so don't expect snug fit. Leather is soft, footbed comfortable/not stiff & doesn't have a shape your foot has to squeeze into. Comfortable walking; doesn't feel like "flats" (that feel like you're without shoes). I'll keep buying Sperry's (not Docksiders).
Great shoe for the summer. Good looking and very comfortable. Like any other Sperry a tad narrow out of the box but once you wear them for a week they fit like a slipper. Highly recommend!
I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit because my feet are so narrow. These shoes fit, are comfortable, and I love them. I hope to buy another pair in a different color sometime soon.
If you have ever owned a Sperry Top-Sider before, you know then the quality of these boat shoes. I bought these to wear with bermudas and casual pants. Everything that is on the Zappos description of the shoe is accurate. I would recommend these shoes to anyone.
These shoes are really comfortable. If anything they are a little bit roomy, especially at the sides, but that is fine with me. The length is true. They are a great slip on shoe and they look cute.
Reviewer: Barbara Walker from Albany, Georgia
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I purchased these for my 13 year old Grand daughter and she Loves them, she wears them all the time and says they are the most comfy shoes she has. We love Zappos.
Awesome, simply awesome. First of all they came the next day, great start. They fit great, look great, what else do you need?
They were delivered right in time. My other shoes had bit the dust. The shoes are so comfortable I don't want to wear any of my others.
Just ordered my third pair. The Katama fits my size 8M foot perfectly. I am a Sperry fan - their shoes seem to always fit besides being cute.
I ordered a half size down like others recommended, which made the length great, but then they were too narrow. I would recommend ordering a half size down and then a wider width.
Eye catching shoes, perfect for those bright, and not so bright Spring and Summer days. They are supple, light and perfect for walking my dog through the downtown streets of Chicago. I get compliments from people of all ages, sexes and ethnicity, mostly for the color scheme.My only dissatisfaction is with the brown color that arrived looking much less dark than the pictures presented by Zappos on line; a small side issue when compared to the comfort offered by Sperry in these shoes.

A New Incubator For Artists?
By Jon Corbett on April 27, 2011 in Art & Design, Society
As arts organisations throughout the region come to terms with the harsh reality of painful cuts and closures, one North East business group has opened its arms to creatives looking for a new affordable home.
But it isn't just any old home folks, oh no. This is a space with a huge difference, 27,000sq ft to be precise, and comes with more potential than you can shake a chuffing 100ft mast at.
For the past five years The Oceana Group has spent £3m bringing back the glory days of a monstrous former maritime research station next to the old Swan Hunter site in Wallsend, and wants artists to make it their own and get the place booming again.
The monstrous PAMETRADA Arts Centre has the potential of meeting the demand of up to 50 individual studio spaces and an excited Tony Mann, Director of The Oceana Group, has a plan to involve artists and creatives of any background to get involved at the blueprint stage – designing their own sized space to their needs.
He said: "The Arts Centre should be seen as a phoenix flying out of the flames created by the savage arts cuts.
"The Oceana Group has recognised the need for alternative creative space and where better than a building steeped in local history.
"The emergence of the PAMETRADA could be seen as a major plus point to be born out of one of the darkest times the Arts world has experienced
in recent memory."

Deltron 3030 design
I'm still in disbelief as I write this. As far back as I can remember, Deltron 3030 has had as big of an impact on myself as possibly any other hip hop album. When I attended college at the University of Minnesota, my roomate and I (Mr. Pat Milbery) would play this album NON stop. It pretty much was the soundtrack for 2000. After laying dormant for 12 years, Deltron 3030 is reuniting! How fitting that Pat and I have a hand in bringing this legendary group to Denver…our current home-base.
Now I had the opportunity to design a shirt and poster for one of my all time favorite music projects. Dang! This one is special. Had to pull out all the stops. Figured my love of cities and Deltron's vision of a bleak futuristic society could mesh perfectly. A society in which humans have used up all of the Earth's resources.
I opted to create a 3D city scape planet. One that expresses one of my personal visions of the future. Where overpopulation consumes the globe. A planet where the "environment" as we know it no longer exists. Cities, nations, and concrete intersect, and fuse together to create one global city.
So-Gnar will have a limited number of these shirts available at the show. We opted to make this EXTREMELY limited. As with the project itself…limited. I hope Denver realizes the magnitude of this event.

Chesson HW, Gift TL, Owusu-Edusei K, Tao G, Johnson AP, Kent CK. A brief review of the estimated economic burden of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States: Inflation-adjusted updates of previously published cost studies. Sex Transm Dis 2011; 38(10): 889-891.
Associated factors in sexual risk taking; parental involvement important.
Associated factors in sexual risk taking; parental involvement important. |
Initiation of sexual risk taking and activity in adolescents can be preceded by certain associated factors. Some factors have been identified to be predictive of adolescent transition from being sexually abstinent to engaging in risky sexual activity like oral sex and sexual intercourse.1 A number of youth engage in oral sex as a gateway to sexual intercourse. Oral sex is sex. Moreover, like all other forms of risky sexual activity, it is strongly associated with transmitting and contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Recent studies have shown the increasing incidence of oral cancers are associated with oral sexual activity and acquisition of HPV infection.2 A recent study was conducted to evaluate the best predictors for sexual transition among adolescents. The study examined factors associated with transitions from abstinence to oral sex experience and oral sex to intercourse, as well as factors associated with abstinence to sexual intercourse. In addition, it examines whether or not there are transition links between male and females due to societal pressures.1 The study participants were adolescents aged 13 to 16 from eight regional high schools. A sample of 343 students completed a baseline assessment and 300 students completed both parts of the survey. The survey collected information on the students' age, family structure, and different measures for self-esteem,parental involvement, drug usage, academic success and association with deviant peers. This survey response was from predominantly white females with a mean age of 14.8 years as well as a mean household of about 4.3 members. At the baseline survey, 235 of the participants reported no sexual experience but at the second survey point 34 participants had engaged in sexual behavior since the baseline. The researchers found that boys who engage in intimate sexual behavior by the second survey period reported much lower self-esteem and lower religiosity compared to those who did not. Higher alcohol usage and high self-esteem were strong predictors for a girl's transition to higher sexual activity by the second survey. The link between self-esteem and sexual transitions may warrant future research, especially in boys. From the study on the transitions it is apparent that there is a dichotomy between psychosocial profiles of boys and girls. However, lower religiosity was found to be linked with greater sexual experience in both boys and girls. References:
