The Closure of Fayetteville Women's Clinic.
Entry by Coltara Cady
A roommate who leaves an empty Chinese food box on your desk when you don't get paid until next week and you're starving? Grade-A Jackass. You know who else who is a total jackass? Shawn Carney, Campaign Director for 40 Days for Life. I generally try to avoid throwing around insults, but I'm a little grumpy this evening due to being tired and ravenously hungry. I don't appreciate working all day and coming home in one hundred degree heat to be taunted with empty food containers in my personal space.
Passive aggressive complaints about my otherwise fantastic day aside, I will be honest in saying that I think Shawn Carney may deserve more colorful vocabulary flung in his direction - but I'll save you the stream of frothing vitriol. Instead I'll let you read some of the outrageous lies and exaggerations that can be found in this interview. This is a rather upsetting piece of news from my neck of the woods - Fayetteville Women's Clinic shut down a little over a week ago. It is not a surprise that the anti-abortion camp is having an absolute orgasm over the issue.
I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach after forcing myself to read through the reporting on the pro-life side of the fence and viewing falsehood after falsehood littered practically every other sentence. That clinic workers are being converted, that Harrison aggressively mocks them and "makes a spectacle", that he "brags about doing god's work", that his business has being declining, etc.
It isn't enough that their opponent has leukemia, which of course they mention only in passing as "he's had health problems recently" and going on to attribute the closing of the clinic to "declining business", when in fact the truth is he is sick and cannot find a doctor to replace him. No, they wanted to make it sound like their vigils were successful and in fact the miraculous source of the clinic closing – I might mention that this so called decline of business has absolutely no sources I can find. Hell, even these assholes were honest about the issue.
This method of reporting seems to be a common phenomenon, however. I'd like to point out this article on this issue, which makes mentions of statements by Juliet Cassell. Fayetteville coordinator for 40 Days for Life:
"She is also hoping abortions will stop at the local Planned Parenthood abortion business, which may benefit from the closing of its main competition. It gives women the dangerous abortion drug that has killed anywhere from 13 to dozens of women worldwide and injured more than 1,100 women in the United States along as of 2006 FDA figures."
Goodness, isn't that convincing? Thanks, Mr. Ertelt! It was great of you to not offer specific information on the drug or deaths! I also loved the absurd and unimpressive range of "anywhere from 13 to dozens of women worldwide" - caffeine can do better than that if you leave the statistics and details just as vague.
The commentary has honestly been an unpleasantly fascinating read for me – just when you think that the irrationality of radical pro-life Christianity can't get any worse or more vulgar, it does. Just for one quote out of many you can find on that page and a couple others here and here:
"Dr. William Harrison murdered thousands of children. His leukemia is just the beginning of the horrific karma he must now endure!
Rape and Incest are one thing, murdering because you fail to take responsibility for your actions is impossible to justify. If these women go to the back alleys then that is where they deserve to be!
Oh, and I'm a HUGE Liberal, no bleeding heart can stand by and watch the taking of innocent lives, legal or not!"
Heh. I don't think I even need to go into dismantling that. There are some delightful commentators who did that for me!
I pass the clinic frequently and witnessed when they were being picketed by the 40 Days For Life group. A few days before I got on a plane for Columbus – meaning less than two weeks before the clinic was closed – I drove by to see a woman praying outside their doors. She was in a fetal position on their lawn with her hands clasped desperately beneath her forehead. This seemingly peaceful display filled me with an inexplicable rage; this woman and those like her are willfully ignorant of so much I have trouble not seething in disgust. There is too much that roars through my mind in a torrential flood of intellectual offense for me to not become angry.
The next closest location for a woman to receive a safe surgical abortion is Tulsa, followed by Little Rock. The Woman's Clinic was one of two places in the entire state where a woman could seek surgical abortion. There are still medicinal abortions available at the local Planned Parenthood, but of course there are going to be cases where methods other than the pill are going to be required. The loss of this clinic is a tragedy.
Dr. William F. Harrison is a brave man – through the years he has had his office firebombed, been vandalized and been a victim of invasion, received death threats against himself and his family, and remained in practice even as his colleagues were being attacked and murdered. I vaguely remember reading about him before and taking note of the fact that he considered himself a friend of the late Dr. Tiller. The fact they knew each other better than being mere colleagues in the field told me something about what kind of threat loomed over Harrison every day of his life. [1] [2] It also says much that many call him a hero.
I wish Bill all the best in making a full recovery.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Occupy Syracuse movement made some noise Tuesday, marching through downtown as part of their day-long May Day protest.
The group is challenging U.S. corporations, on behalf of what they claim is the 99 percent of Americans not sharing in the country's prosperity.
Many members have drifted in and out of the movement since Occupy took up residence in Perseverance Park late last year but those who remain said they are going strong and their message is making a difference.
Jon Grey, an Occupy Syracuse protester said, "It's become part of the political lexicon. Politicians have to deal with what Occupy is talking about, and this wasn't a conversation that was being had a year ago, and now it's part of the conversation, so at least we have a foot in the door."
Syracuse was one of many cities with Occupy rallies marking the first day of May.

"Quoting yourself in your sig is bush league" - eniparadoxgma, Nov 8 2010
Looked to me like Wallace rounded off his cut to the sideline and had upfield momentum making it easy to undercut the route, then he stumbled upfield and out of bounds. Not sure how much of a chance he had to touch the interceptor down. Would like to see a replay closely.
Bad play call in my opinion. You only need 4 yards. Heath is having a big game. I say its on Ben cuz they were in no huddle.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
I don't know why we are focusing on the offense and defense.
We lost this game on special teams. The fumble on our PR and the long Dallas KR in OT were the worst plays of the game. We've been losing on special teams all year long.
2013 Draft
1 Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU 65 271 (sky high potential)
2 Khaseem Greene ILB Rutgers 61 241 (cat quick, explosive hitter)
3 Steadman Bailey WR WVU 510 193 (fantastic route runner)
4 LeVeon Bell RB Michigan St 61 230 (Good fit for zone scheme)
5 J. J. Wilcox SS Ga Southern 6 213 (athletic, fluid in coverage)
6 Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech 63 302 (quick, zone gem)
7 Micah Hyde CB Iowa 6 197 (rangy corner with speed)
7 Vinston Painter OT Virginia Tech 64 305 (athletic OL project)
There is no need to help out our 4th and 5th string corners and the 5th string safety playing nickel corner in coverage against the likes of Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, and Jason Witten. Just go blitz happy and leave our inexperienced practice squad players alone on an island against those All-Pro types...I'm sure that would have worked better.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
In the fourth quarter the Steelers' defense managed to make the necessary stops and gave the STs and offense a chance to win the game, in my mind, the defense did enough at a crucial moment and then, of course, a great return leading by 7 and a chance to make it a two score game and burn clock, but careless ball security and a weak fumble costs the Steelers dearly. They simply couldn't capitalize when the opportunity arose, the defense gets spanked most of the game, but makes critical stops, the offense struggles early, then gets the lead, the STs play okay, but then put the ball on the ground right when the offense was clicking and the offense doesn't get a chance to ice the game.
It was like watching the entire season in one game.
1.17 - Jarvis Jones, OLB

Dirtybird and Mad Decent on drip.fm
Sunday, June 3rd, 2012Big things are on the horizon in digital music distribution. iTunes revolutionized buying and selling mp3′s for pop music, and beatport has done a great job doing the same for dance music. Even with these great places to buy music many of us still spend hours googling for new tracks one by one. Hard to fault anyone for doing this because its so easy and for the most part the final product is the same. What if there was a place where you could get all the tracks from your favorite labels 2 weeks before they get released, plus ticket giveaways, and all for a flat rate of 10$ a month ?
Welcome to drip.fm a new music distribution service for premier labels and their fans. Some of the launch partners include our hometown favorites Dirtybird, Mad Decent, Stones Throw Records, and Fools Gold. Ive been a member with Dirtybird and Mad Decent for the past few months and its well worth the 10$/month. Just having all the new releases two weeks before they drop makes it worth it for me, throw in WAV and 320kpbs downloads on every track plus freebies from their back catalog and its a slam dunk. This is future of music distribution, straight from the labels to their fans with no middle man. I know what its like to be a starving DJ but it feels good to support the artists and labels who bring us gems like Justin Martin's Ghettos and Gardens, Booty Clap, and Bauuer's Harlem Shake. This is just the beginning and were lucky to have access to so much music for so little money, if anyone remembers buying vinyl at 15$ a track like me you'll appreciate how good we've got it nowadays.

Marysville, OH
Overview of Marysville
Marysville is located in central Ohio about 30 miles northwest of downtown Columbus, and it is the county seat. Getting around is easy for residents as well, because they have swift access to U.S. Route 33 and 36.
Marysville apartments for rent offer a high-quality lifestyle that is centered on safe neighborhoods, quaint downtown area, quality healthcare facilities and a vibrant economy. Marysville is a great place to start a business because of the prime location.

Living in Marysville, OH
The village of Marysville was platted in 1816. One year later, Union County was founded with territory taken from Delaware, Franklin, Logan and Madison counties. The town was growing over time, but it hadn't experienced a major influx of residents. Instead the steady growth continued until the late 1800s, when settlers came to the area at a more rapid speed. In 1888, the city had two newspapers, six churches, three banks and numerous manufacturing businesses.
In 1893, the New York Central Railroad was constructed right through the community. Residents were concerned that it was being built through the area's cemetery, where many war victims were buried. In April 1879, the village purchased a piece of land spanning 39.5 acres located where Raymond Road and West Fifth Street, which increase the size of the town..
Today, the history lives on throughout the community. The Union County Historical Society has historical markers throughout the city to commemorate and honor important individuals.
Marysville Work and Study
The diverse business community features a unique mix of world-renowned corporations and independently owned businesses. Some of the area's largest employers include Honda of America Manufacturing, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Memorial Hospital of Union County, Ohio Reformatory for Women and Scioto Services.
Students living in rentals in Marysville have several options for post-secondary education. Ohio Wesleyan University, Capital University, Otterbein University, Columbus State Community College, Ohio Northern University and Ohio State University are all great options located only a short drive away.
Rentals in Marysville, OH and Cost of Living

According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is 4 points lower than the national average, food is 7 points lower and utilities are on par with the national average. Similarly, the average cost of rentals in Marysville is fairly low. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent is $764.
Marysville Attractions and Special Events
The city of Marysville offers a variety of community events for families throughout the year. Some of the annual events include All Ohio Balloon Fest, Union County Covered Bridge Festival, Festifair and Union County Fair.

In Union County, there are five unique bridge structures far from the traditional styling of a bridge that remain popular area attractions. Four of the five structures were built in the late 1860s and 1870s, and are still used in the highway system today.

The global decline of small things that are time consuming to produce has meant the near disappearance of many a small pleasure of years past, and socks with embroidered clocks are not the least of these.
The rarity of socks with embroidered decoration makes little sense to me, as the designs I have seen appear machine-stitched and unlikely to add a significant amount of cost, especially when compared to the stratospheric prices commanded by Sea Island cotton, silk and cashmere blended hose in the first place.
Sadly, I never thought to check the maker on the pair or two remaining in my sock drawer and, rather like the practice of embroidery, the names are no longer visible.

Socks with Clocks
8 comments:
- Tim said...
Socks with clocks are one of my sartorial favorites. I too cherish the few remaining pair I have in fine Merino and lisle purchased now over 20 years ago at the fine NYC haberdasher, Tripler. No doubt, some designer will "invent" them in the not too distant future.

- Bastel said...
As I have a family background in embroidery, I can't imagine it to be too expensive to find some (Chinese?) manufacterer who could add clocks on socks, if you give them the socks and a design. The costs should not be more than 2-4$ inclusive postage. We worked with some very good hand embroiders in Afghanistan a few years back, but that alley is now, alas, closed due to the war.
Wouldn't that be a nice extra in your shop? The only place to get clocks on socks? - September 23, 2009 at 11:12:00 AM PDT

Very nice, Will. Great combination of suede shoes, gray trousers, and bordeaux socks.

Hi Will,
What's your opinion on suede shoes combined with a suit as work wear? Is it formal or casual? I'm employed at a bank and not sure whether or not I should wear that combo for work.
Best regards

If it weren't friday, I'd send you straight home to change if you came into my bank wearing suede shoes...that is, after I compliment you on your fine taste...
Seriously, probably not a good idea in a banking environment unless you are in a high level. Can work in other financial environments like PE, or marketing, or legal, but not a bank. - September 26, 2009 at 5:28:00 AM PDT

The need to camp isn't new, the number of options are
Posted: under camping.
Tags: American Camp Association, camping, Car Camping for Everyone, Mary Burnham, Nature-Deficit Disorder
I've been hearing how camping is experiencing an upswing again, which got me wondering how it all started. Thanks to Google and a research paper on the American Camp Association's web site, I learned organized camping got its start in the late 1800s because people were worried about the effect technology was having on their kids and the environment. When the 1920s roared in, people fretted over spectatoritis. That disease, maybe the pre-curser to nature deficit disorder, was thought to be the result of people so oriented towards being spectators; they ceased being active participants in their own lives. Camping was again a suggested cure as it was in the 1970s when anxiety about the environment and children's sedentary lifestyles sparked a resurgence.
Here we are today, in the part of the cycle where we're again worried about our nation's children, the economy and the environment. As a result, we're going camping in droves. While there's nothing new about the need to camp, there are a lot more options now for when, how and where you'll do it. Mary Burnham, co-author of "Car Camping for Everyone," breaks it down so your future trips are exactly what you want them to be.
Mary, who has co-authored six books and hundreds of magazine articles on hiking, paddling and camping with her husband Bill, reminds us there are millions of camping options on public and private land. You just have to know what you want. Following is her check list to help you plan your first or next trip.
Where and when to go camping
- Think about what destination you'd like to camp at: lakes, beaches, forests or mountains.
- Consider how far you're willing to travel. Do you want to treat your peepers to a completely new vista? Or are you searching for rest and relaxation within an hour's drive of home?
- Who is going on the trip? What interests do they have? Some parks offer planned activities for families while at others you're on your own to entertain yourself.
- Decide what amenities you need to have. Do you want a secluded site with a picnic table and fire ring? Or do you need a hot shower, cooking grill and water and electrical hookups?
- How much do you want to spend? While camping is a low cost vacation, fees vary depending on whether you're at a public land campground with few amenities or a private campground with a marina, self-service laundry and recreation room.
-Factor in who you're going with. Is this a family trip or a large group camp out? That will determine what site or sites you may need.
- Once you've selected what scenery you'd like to enjoy over your morning cup of coffee, you can narrow down your final destination to public parks, public lands or private campgrounds.
- National and state parks offer great campgrounds, often with many amenities.
- Public lands such as national forests, wildlife refuges and Bureau of Land Management property offer campgrounds that may have fewer amenities but may be cheaper and less crowded.
- Search for public land campgrounds at:
- Check out your state park agency Web site as well.
- Check out private campgrounds at www.gocampingAmerica.com or www.koa.com
- Read online reviews of prospective campgrounds to see what others thought of their experiences.
- If you want to avoid crowds, pay attention to dates and locations so you don't end up camping near an event such Bike Week or a NASCAR race. Also, consider going mid-week, when everyone else is at work.
- Finally, wherever and whenever you decide to go, make sure you reserve your site and avoid the disappointment of pulling into a campground that has its no vacancy sign out.
*You can reserve national lands sites up to six months in advance at: <http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/reservations/nrrs.shtml>
*You can reserve many state park campgrounds up to 11 months in advance at <http://www.reserveamerica.com>
If you want more great camping advice, I recommend checking out Mary's book. What I love about it is the layout makes it easy to find and absorb the information. It packs a lot of tips in lists and short bullet points under pertinent photos. The chapters are logically organized and specific so you don't have to read the whole book. Just find the information you want and dig in.

Our mission in developing a panna cotta recipe was to find the correct proportions for the simple ingredients and the most effective way to deal with the gelatin that thickens the dessert. Because cream gave the panna cotta a rich mouthfeel and a creamier, more rounded flavor, we concurred with those panna cotta recipes that favored a heavier proportion of cream to milk. The amount of sugar called for was straightforward—enough to sweeten our concoction without making it too sweet. For a flavor accent, we added vanilla and found that a vanilla bean contributed a richer flavor than did vanilla extract.
Serve panna cotta very cold with strawberry or raspberry sauce or lightly sweetened berries. Though traditionally unmolded, panna cotta may be chilled and served in wine glasses and sauced on top. If you would like to make the panna cotta a day ahead, decrease the gelatin to 2 5/8 teaspoons (2½ teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoon), and chill the filled wine glasses or ramekins for 18 to 24 hours.

Bronze for MET 6.2
That emission testing is becoming increasingly more important far beyond the borders of Europe was clearly demonstrated at the automechanika South Africa. In the context of the AUTOMECHANIKA SA INNOVATION AWARDS 2011 MAHA received the bronze award for the MET 6.2.
The jury at the international trade fair held in Johannesburg from the 9th-12th of March was enthusiastic about the innovation development of the opacimeter of the second generation MET 6.2. This leading trade fair for automobile products in South Africa is the ideal platform for suppliers of vehicle parts and accessories. MAHA used this forum to showcase the MET 6.2 innovation to the experts and to prove that a measurement system is available which easily matches the technical progress of the automobile industry. The success was overwhelming:
MAHA was awarded the Bronze medal for the MET 6.2, emission tester for diesel vehicles.
The highly innovative tester convinced with aspects such as functionality, safety, quality, aftermarket and, of course, with a substantial contribution to environmental protection. (Environmental Management System based on ISO 14001:2004).
And then there is the issue of people's health which is endangered by the fine dust particles.
Turbidity co-efficient and particle mass can be measured reliably and quickly with the MET 6.2. That means: particles larger than 70 nm are identified and measured in the emission flow using laser beam. Even the efficiency of particle filters can be verified. And in this lies the decisive contribution to the environment and people's health.
And the MET 6.2 is ideally suited for daily workshop usage: small dimensions, low weight of only 5 kg, easy handling, extremely high measurement accuracy, good combinability with measurement and test stands and low maintenance needs provide for optimum usage in workshop, and research and development.
The emission measurement is taking on new meaning. The MET 6.2 is a true investment in a responsible future. An intact environment is the basis all over the world for valuable living space.

So I have a repository that extends GraphRepository. The Domain object is a cross store between SDN and SD JPA. I use partial = "true"
When I create a new domain object, I call the repository.save(domainObject) method and get
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Flushing detached entity without a persistent state, this had to be created first.
So I remember Michael saying that you have to save it first through JPA then you can save through SDN.
But how can you save through JPA without access to the entityManager in your repository, etc.

Post by Michelle Davis, Director of Revenue Management, Hospitality Ventures Management Group Revenue managers are under considerable pressure to increase ADR but as we know, there are many factors that can affect rate. For example, when occupancy starts to slip, a 'heads in beds' strategy can prevail. To achieve this, we typically lower rate, offer specials tied to margins on third-party sites, run promotions on Global Distribution Systems (GDS) that include commissions and booking fees, or even play in the opaque booking world.
Directors of Sales also are under pressure to increase group business market share and land those lucrative top accounts, requiring the best rate along with concessions for things like F&B, WiFi, rebates/commissions, etc.
When these strategies work, we see increases in occupancy with perhaps some decline in ADR. But overall, RevPAR has increased along with the shift in market share, and all the top-line reports we look at show improvement.
However, as Corporate Director of Revenue Management at Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), I've learned that revenue managers need to consider the complete picture by looking at bottom line reports to determine the impact their various RevPAR strategies have on GOPPAR or Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room.
With a GOPPAR focus, you have to keep in mind that:
Every room sold has a cost.
Every booking source has a fee.
Let's explore some examples of this. If the hotel sell rate is $100, we often look first at CPOR (Cost Per Occupied Room), the hard cost of an occupied room. Most of us look solely at the cost of cleaning the room or the CPOR of the rooms department. But that's not the complete cost. Far from it.
If the booking went through a GDS, the cost of the booking can range from under $1 (a pass-through transaction fee) to $14 for a non-brand affiliate booking transaction. Also, if the room was commissionable, that can be 10-15% of the room rate. Was that booking tied to a promotion/incentive for the agents? If so, there's another few dollars of cost.
Every reservation that originates from your brand's call center has a cost, too. Most are in the $2-3 per transaction range. Note that these call centers are usually a better solution compared to a GDS because your brand's goal is high conversion selling your hotel.
Internet bookings can offer among the lowest costs for bookings, as long as it's your own website. Third-party booking sites can charge margins from 15-30%. If you are set up on an interface that requires bookings to be processed through the GDS, it can mean additional fees. Even your own website has a cost. Analyze how reservations are delivered to your hotel and determine if there is a transaction fee. Are you using a website provider that charges a per-booking fee? Also, do you have a pay-per-click campaign in place to gain exposure on these sites?

After your car accident, you should try to gather as much evidence for your car accident attorney as possible. Use your camera or cell phone to take as many pictures of the accident scene as possible. Photograph the damage to your automobile. If you have visible injuries, snap pictures of those, too. If you were badly injured, ask someone to take pictures for you.
If you are able, get contact information and statements from witnesses at the scene. These photos and eyewitness accounts are vital to your case.
Anything you tell your car accident lawyer is strictly confidential. Dont hold back. Tell your car accident attorney everything about the crash. Even if you might have been partially at fault for your accident, you still could be due money. Be honest. Nothing will hurt your case more than having your lawyer be surprised by something you have not told him.

I cross the marathon finish line, walk literally next door to the cabin where we were staying, take a shower and before you know it, I'm out on White River hauling in rainbow trout after rainbow trout. If the fishing part isn't your thing, do this race anyway. Friendly people, nice flat course and an incredible spread afterward. Also a very cool medal, though I wish both it and the T-shirt had said where this race took place. And another minor disappointment: For the first time ever, I actually won my age group (it helps to get older, not to mention running in an age group where there aren't many people). Alas, by the time they got to us old folks, they were all out of the plaques. Also, be aware that although it's chip timing there's no mat at the start. If you're on the cusp of Boston, line up near the front. My official time was almost three minutes off my watch time. Not a big deal because it wasn't a BQ or a PR, and the rest of the experience was so much fun that it made up for that.
This was my 1st White River and 4th marathon. It will be hard not to ink this race into my 2013 race calendar. Everything was beyond any race I have been to. It's a MUST run!!
Drove in from Oklahoma on Friday. Wanted a change of scenery from White Rock and we got it! Small, flat, fast. Perfect. As stated in other comments, the weather couldn't have been better-33-39 degrees for the half. Used to 20,000 + people and loved the smaller non crowded road. It was nice to see the horses and homes along the foggy river. I thought it was pretty. I had a great PR because of the temp! Our group of 5 will be back next year and will bring more of our running group. The homemade soups and food was wonderful, as well as the massages after the run. Thanks for the Gu along the route. It's the extra little items that make this race better. Wouldn't mind packet pick up earlier, but I know that takes volunteers. Overall, this race gets an 'A' for a well ran race. Great medals also. Thank you Cotter!
Great marathon. Love race day pickup, small race, great volunteers and SHOWERS after! When my friend and I checked into the hotel the night before, our desk clerk told us he was volunteering at it - great to see him at the water stop!
Thank you for a well-organized, fun (despite the fog) event. The post-race hot meals and snacks were so appreciated; great volunteers, wonderful cause! See you next year!
My husband and I loved this race! The race course was so pretty and the weather was perfect!! One thing that we both loved was that it was a small race. It was so nice just being able to just run and not worry about walkers or bumping into anyone. A must do race!!!
Get there early, parking is a breeze. No spectators (awesome not a single cow bell), great group of runners. First 3/4 mile is steep downhill, remainder of the course is pancake flat. Course is open to vehicles as advertised, had no issues with vehicles. Only 600 runners so that was nice. Shuttle back to the start was fantastic, more than enough vans to handle it. BTW I ran the Half
This was my kind of marathon. Small enough that there were no problems with things like bathrooms and parking, but not so small that you feel alone on the course. The course starts with a big downhill, but the organizers laid our the course so you don't have to go back up that hill. The weather was niceabout 30 degrees with heavy fog at the start and I'm guessing in the high 40s at the finish. I wouldn't call this a scenic race, but it was in a nice area nonetheless. I gave the spectators 4 stars because I prefer a quite course to one with cow bells and screaming. If you're like me, you'll like the quiet of this run. But if you feed off crowds, you won't find them here. A couple suggestions to the race director: Turn the music down at the finish line. It was so ear-splittingly loud it was impossible to stick around and wait for my wife to finish. I had to walk over to the RV park and watch from there so my ears wouldn't start bleeding. At the very least, move the speakers to the north side of the finish line so they face out onto the course instead of the finish area. Start the packet pickup earlier. Having to wait until 5PM to get our packets was a hassle, and by 5PM before a marathon we prefer to be finishing dinner, preparing our gear, and winding down so we can sleep early. At the latest, packet pickup should start at 3PM.
It took some effort to make it to Cotter on a Saturday, but it turned out to be worth the trip. No PR, but my best time in three years. Once you're in town, everything is easy to get to. Great organization and friendly folks. A truck driver did run me and another runner off the road there is no shoulder but I wouldn't hesitate to run it again, although I definitely hope it stays small. It might be nice if marathon runners had a separate start. It would also be more convenient to have the race on Sunday, so I wouldn't have to take a day off from work.
A beautiful as well as flat course, great organizers, great charity. Cotter is a wonderful small town. The out-and-back out-and-back course was perfect for this race as you got to see friends and Maniacs several times so you didn't feel alone. Very friendly runners on the course. The medal was my only disappointment of the race but the Race Director says they will do better next year. Make sure to go to Nima's Pizza in Gassville after the race&world pizza competition winner!

Metra upgrades will include power outlets on passenger cars
Updated: October 24, 2012 10:09PM
Metra is adding power outlets on its trains so riders can charge their computers and phones.
The upgrades are part of the commuter rail agency's rehab of 176 passenger cars that were built between 1995 and 1998. Forty cars are done so far and 60 should be done by the end of the year.
Doors will now have new sensitive edges like elevator doors so they'll open if they come in contact with a person or object in the way.
The cars also will get new toilets and bathrooms, wheelchair lifts, and new floors and seats.
The cars are being restored to "like new" condition, officials said Tuesday.

Bruins drop Rangers in opener
Boston Bruins' Milan Lucic (17) celebrates his goal with teammates David Krejci (46), of the Czech Republic, and Johnny Boychuk (55) during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the New York Rangers in Boston, Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) |
BOSTON — Tuukka Rask stopped 20 shots for Boston in his first game after taking over for two-time Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas, and the Bruins beat the New York Rangers, 3-1, in the lockout-delayed season opener on Saturday night.
Milan Lucic and Daniel Paille scored for Boston, which won the Northeast Division last year before losing in the first round of the playoffs. Rask backed up Thomas during the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup run and inherited the job when the enigmatic goalie decided to take a year off to rest.
Brad Richards scored for the Rangers on an assist from Rick Nash, the former Columbus star who was New York's biggest acquisition over the summer. Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves for the Rangers, who finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference last season but lost in the conference finals to the New Jersey Devils.

The patterns are great aren't they? I'm looking forward to finishing it - still seems a looong way off!
Looking good. It actually reminds me of the sea shore with the bobbles and ripples the way the tide pulls the ocean back out to sea. Lovely bit of knitting
Thanks Elaine: it's actually just one strip of an afghan! The pattern is from a book called Blankets & Throws to Knit by Debbie Abrahams :-)

Great hiking shoe. Very comfortable and good support for foot and ankle. Especially like the fact they are so light weight. Makes hiking more enjoyable.
That is great to hear these Moab Mid's are making your hikes more enjoyable! We appreciate your feedback.

I have summer running shoes that give me great support and shock absorbency. (Nike track shoes, Saucony and Aesis). But you can't wear them in the winter because water goes thru the mesh and you have wet feet and they do not have good traction on winter surfaces. I need waterproof, good traction, good support and shock absorbency. I have arthritis/neuropathy & fibromyalgia and walking/hiking is very important to keep me healthy. I do not want to be in pain. I have been looking for months for something to wear. I walk dog daily for 2 miles and I go on longer hikes on weekends in the mountains. I was very excited when I started reading about Merrell hiking shoes and boots. I wanted the Chameleon hiking boots, but they were not available in the stores I visited. So tried on the Moab hiking boots for $120. This is alot of money to me, but I want something that works ! They cradled my arch and my whole foot felt happy in the store.! Again, in the house they felt great and I was happy that this problem is solved- or so I thought. Today I walked 2 miles in them at a park. My foot was moving inside the shoe - back and forth and back and forth. I sat on the ground and tightened them. My foot started to sweat, I think and its 30 degrees out. It was moving back and forth and my feet started to burn very badly. Pain started going up my right leg where I have neuropathy. My knees and hips started to hurt. The whole walk was painful. Could not wait to get home and take them off. I bought sock liners, and in a few days when I recover, I will try again with heavier socks and sock liners. I am very disappointed and in pain as I sit here writing this and I dread tomorrow when I am afraid I will get even worse pain in knees, calves and feet from all the rubbing and all the trying to correct while walking. Maybe a young person that doesn't have things wrong with them - in perfect condition, could wear these. I do not know where to turn and I hope someone from Merrell will contact me and help me. I will stick with Merrell until I get ones that work, just help me out if you can. thanks Linda, an aging baby-boomer that wants to run around in the woods with my dog !!
We appreciate your input. We are sorry for the issues you are experiencing with the fit. We will be in contact with you soon.

walk the dog
I bought these boots last spring because I singed up to go on a local 17 mile hike in the woods. Everyone that has done the hike told me to get good shoes. I bought these and wore them for 8 weeks before the hike to break them in and was very please with them during the hike. My feet fit in them as I expected. After 17 miles it only showed signs small of any hot spot beginning to develop. I have continued to wear them out over the winder and know I am back to buy a new pair for the hike coming up this June. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks for the recommendation of this style. They are are a great style for long hikes and provide the comfort and support that is needed to make the trek. We appreciate your valuable feedback.

Bought for hiking then turned them into my everyday shoes
I have owned my boots for just over a year. I bought them for the great comfort and style. As much as I wear them they still look as good as new. Love the waterproofing because I can hike without my feet ever getting wet. I wear them during snow season too and my feet stay dry. I would definitely purchase them again. However, My only issue is that they are starting to lose their great comfort. Just wanted to let everyone know what to expect. Since they still look great I am going to buy some new inserts in hope to extend the life of my favorite boots. All the previous reviews are correct to get a half size bigger.
Thanks for the great review of these boots. We are so glad they are performing well for you hikes and are super comfortable. It may be time for some new insoles. Check out our Ortholite Comfort Foam Insoles for replacements.
