Pocky was one of my first introductions to Japanese candy. It's a simple construction that has no precise American analogue. It's a flavorless cookie stick dipped in chocolate or some other creamy chocolate-like confection. Later versions, and there are plenty, have other flavors, stripes and inclusions. It's been hard to keep up with them all. Once I found the Men's Pocky, which I loved, I found that all others after that just couldn't measure up.
The Glico Pocky Cookie Crush caught my eye though, as I'd already picked up the Oreo Bitter Chocolate Bar, I thought maybe this Japanese trend of crushed cookies was onto something.
The construction of the sticks is simple. The bland, dense and dry cookie stick is mostly dipped into a milk chocolate studded with chocolate cookie bits. It's all very mellow. It's quite crunchy, so there are a lot of textures going on, with the crisp low sweetness of the stick, then the sandy cocoa of the cookie bits and then the creamy chocolate coating that binds it all together.
Better, darker chocolate would probably throw these into the realm of perfection.
I have to say that the concept of a partially dipped crunchy stick is also genius. You can pick it up without getting messy fingers and nibble away at it or pop the whole thing in your mouth.
Each packet has only four sticks in it but still a nice portion of about 71 calories. The box was expensive, as far as I was concerned. It's six packets but only 2.82 ounces for $4.75. It made me feel like they were precious and decadent, when in reality they were just pricey.

Hi, I am a big fan of you, and in Japan for 14years. It sounds funny funny the expensive pocky was changed to be upscale chocolate snack there.

Yes I hear the one coming out in 2015 is going to be about Rocky in a nursing home. The working title is "ROCKYing Chair". He takes on all the senior citizens at once only armed with a colostomy bag and a cane. Seriously though you're in for a treat If you haven't seen all of the movies. I even liked the last one Rocky Balboa. Speaking of, watch out for the line in R.B. where he says "Oh, he's European?" Had me ROLF. Sly is the man.
I was determined to hate Rocky before watching it, because I absolutely hate the sport boxing. When I looked up people's reviews, I discovered that Rocky had received incredible Critical Acclaim. After I finally gave Rocky a chance, I discovered just how much of a masterpiece it is to film. Rocky has a fantastic story, some great acting and most of all makes us care and value the characters. Rocky stands out as incredible, even if you hate boxing, which is where the film shines the most. The icing on this great cake is Burgess Meridith giving a flawless and gripping performance as Mickey. I apologise greatly to Rocky for not watching and praising it sooner. Consider me a fan of the franchise.
Yes, this movie follows a formula. But I like the formula. Sometimes all you want to see is an enjoyable movie about an underdog who rises to the top, and what better movie is there for that than Rocky. The movie spends less time showing people getting their faces smashed in and more on developing the character of Rocky, which makes him more than just a down-and-out boxer, but a truly inspirational hero. And it gets better. Rocky has one of the best montages ever, and who doesn't love a good montage?
Sylvester Stallone, who I am not really a fan of, impressed me in this film. His acting was flawless and he surprised me with his writing ability, because I always thought he was an idiot. But Rocky is making me rethink my opinion of Mr. Stallone, as his movie was purely entertaining and heart warming.
There will always be movies that follow the same plotline as Rocky, and some will be better than others. But Rocky is without a doubt, the best I have ever seen.
the original rocky has to be the best of the series. to me this movie has an awesome story line and just the right amount of violence and listening in the movie. plus, sylvester stallone is another thing that made the movie just pure awesome. he played a great part of rocky balboa in this movie and any fan of the rocky series will surely agree.
A down on his luck boxer, fighting in a run down gym for meager pay. Rocky is forced to collect money for a loan shark on the side to make ends meet, but gets the chance of a life time when the champ challenges him to a bout.
Rocky is an inspirational movie about a man that is not exactly a great fighter. His win/lose record is unimpressive, his style lacks elegance and his training methods are unusual, but Rocky has what counts; passion and heart (it also helps that he can take a punch).
Rocky is a humble movie that took the world by storm in 1976, winning the academy award for best picture. Sure many claim it's one of the most overrated movies of the 70s because of this, but there isn't a whole lot wrong with the movie.
The boxing match at the end is about as far from an exact emulation of the sport as you can imagine, but it is still entertaining. It did give us one of the more iconic and parodied lines in cinema history though...

Our toxics team exposed some of the world's biggest apparel companies as polluting China's rivers, plus we took Tesco to court for illegal use of pesticides, sought to save the Hainan gibbons and revealed toxic heavy metals in childrens' toys. Here's a look back at China and the environment in the year that was 2011.
Polluted rivers, disappearing gibbons, and too many smoggy days - there's no doubt China experienced its fair share of environmental problems this year. But at the same time there were a lot of great, green wins, such as changes in the textile industry thanks to our Detox campaign, and raising the air pollution debate in regards to PM2.5.

Mark CroweMark Crowe, one of the Space Quest series original designers, has stated that Space Quest IV is the game in the series that he considers his 'tour-de-force'. He worked on Space Quests 1-5.Radio Shock controversyAfter complaints from a certain widespread electronics chain, the name of the store "Radio Shock" in the Galaxy Galleria was changed to "Htz So Good" for the CD-ROM version.References: Software storeThe games at the software store are all parodies of other games. Here's a list of the parodied games:
References: Space Quest series
References: Sierra games
References: Various
ReleasesThe DOS version of Space Quest IV was available in four different packages: a 16 color version (supporting EGA, MCGA, VGA, Tandy/PCjr) with either 3.5" DD or 5.25" HD disks, and a 256 color version (supporting MCGA, VGA) with either 3.5" HD disks or 5.25" HD disks.Roger WilcoFrom this entry on in the series, 'Roger Wilco' was included in the title of each game (actually in a bigger font than the actual 'Space Quest' bit), as by this time the character had grown and become as well-identified as the actual 'Space Quest' title by gamers (rather like Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series).Also this is the only game in the series in which there is neither access to a janitorial closet, nor a single conventional cleaning implement among the inventory items. Clearly, Crowe and Murphy intended Roger Wilco's adventures to continue without any occupational restrictions on the character. Timed eventsCertain sections of the game use an event timer that relies on your system clock. (even though the game speed itself adjusts according to the processor) This makes it virtually impossible to even begin the game on a modern machine - the mutant in the first section appears every few seconds, killing you instantly.Version differencesThe dialogue for the DOS and Amiga versions are identical, except for the part where one of the monochrome boys speak to you, where what he says will depend on the number of colors used in the game.
Voice actingAside from the narrator Gary Owens, all voices in the game are done by Sierra employees. Guy from Andromeda Scott Murphy even does the voice of Sludge Vohaul.Awards

Regulations for worker safety, veterans and a New Mexico salamander are on the way.
Here's what's coming out in Wednesday's issue of the Federal Register:
Worker safety:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is making two changes to its standards for working with mechanical power presses, which punch or shape metal in some industrial shops.
The agency is requiring employers to keep records about maintenance and repairs made to the machines during routine inspections but eliminating a requirement that they keep records about weekly inspections and tests.
"This rulemaking is part of the Department of Labor's initiative to reduce paperwork burden," OSHA said. It predicted that the change in rules would save 613,600 hours of "unnecessary paperwork burden" while still protecting workers on the job.
The rule will become effective in 90 days, though OSHA is also accepting comments from the public for the next months.
The Labor Department is pulling back regulations for loggers and healthcare facilities to hire foreign workers, and for other employers to hire foreign students as part-time workers. According to the Labor Department, the existing rules became obsolete after new regulations were issued in recent years.
Food safety:
The Food and Drug Administration is giving the public more time to comment on proposed rules for food safety auditors and foreign importers.
The agency has extended the comment period for a number of its expected food safety rules in recent days.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is trying to change the rules for its program to help veterans with disabilities make home improvements.
The department's rules are intended to "streamline the application process," it said, as well as reduce administrative burdens at the VA.
The Environmental Protection Agency is setting a limit for residues of the pesticide fenpropathrin on a number of fruits and vegetables.
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing new rules for AM radio broadcasters that it ways will "ease regulatory burdens" on companies and "revitalize" the service.
The Fish and Wildlife Service is establishing a protected area for the Jemez Mountains salamander in parts of New Mexico. The agency asserts that the action is necessary to conserve the amphibian's habitat.
The Commerce Department is amending its export rules to revise the authorizations for a number of Chinese electronics companies.
The Postal Service is making changes to some of its prices and mailing standards.

| Why There Are So Many Blacks In Commericals....
The reason why is because companies don't want to have to make two different commercials for the same product. On Black Entertainment TV (BET), they *have to* show Blacks or else the commercial doesn't go on that channel. On the Spanish channels that have to show Mexicans. And since there are no Whites complaining about all the non-Whites on the commericals.....the companies don't have to spend the extra money making a commercial for every racial group; therefore Whites get stuck with non-Whites. That's why I proposed the following forum: Company Complaint Forum |

Oh, I see many whites on commercials, but it's always the man is a blundering fool while the woman is some kind of housewife genius. Bollocks. Feminist tripe. 2508 |

I too have noticed this. I could be watching a good White show, than from no where a commercial cuts in and I'm staring at a black guy, usually walking in McDonald's... buying car insurance, or at a desk working. I usually turn the channel when I see a non-White, so it doesn't get too bad. |

Not just black people in the commercial, but I've also noticed they have made alot of the commercial jingles for popular products with rap beats. Plus I've also noticed alot of children's products have a black and white kid playing together. 2508 |

Have you seen the Old Navy xmas commercial? I rarely watch TV, so I just saw it yesterday. I think it was Old Navy....anyways, they were singing a holiday jingle that included christmas, hanukkah, kwanza, and a few other ethnic names for the holidays. It was all multicultural. I turned the TV off and read a book. I'm tired of all the commercials full of blackies and spics. |

Here in NY almost every fast food commericial has non-whites eating and working there, although I guess that is sort of true. I for one hope they eat enough Big Macs to die of coronaries at age 6. American Citizen |

| Re: Why There Are So Many Blacks In Commericals....
The real interesting thing I've noticed when I see comercials (TV, magazines,etc) is the use of mulattos in the place of blacks. It seems they try and find the most washed out mulatto they can find for the parts they cast. You hardly ever see real blacks in mainstream commercials anymore. My guess is this has to do with: 1 It's hard to find attractive blacks 2 Showing "blacks" who look and act more human fits the multicultural bill. KR |

Occasionally I'm sent products to test before they hit the market and wass sent a package of diapers with an ugly negro baby on the front and a fantasy negro family including a father on the back. I did not hold back telling them how disgusting their package was and gave them several reasons why it was disgusting and not a good marketing ploy. I'm sure I don't need to spell it out to any of you. I mean.. a black family with a man, woman, grandmother And A FATHER? It bordered on false advertising. "Put your baby in these diapers and his daddy might stick around". Just kidding.. I didn't really say that. I did write about the stupidity of using black models for diapers that are being sent to White communities. So the moral of my story is, Whites do complain about Blacks in commercials. Do I think it does any good? Perhaps, if they think they are losing sales. I refuse to buy anything with a non-white on the package. Between that and the Kosher tax, there isn't much out there to buy. M3

It's sort of like laughing at someone as they rake their fingernails down a chalkboard. It's so bad it's amusing. None of the actors can sing and the song doesn't rhyme or make much sense. It could possible be the worst commercial ever. I never shop at Old Navy or whatever the store is (so much for the commercial having much of a positive effect eh?). If I did I would stop. M3 | |

| Re: Why There Are So Many Blacks In Commericals....
Companies are increasingly afraid of being labeled racist by professional shake down artists such as the Revered Jesse Jackson. Advertising executives mistakenly believe in the necessity of showing varied cultures and ethnicities in their promotions. I soundly believe this can be traced back to the popularity of 'The Cosby Show' that for years was NBCs #1 program. Other programs exhibiting only the ineffectual niceties of African-American culture depicting average African-Americans as adorable intellectual characters hardly mimic the reality. The cultural brainwashing effectively choreographed by leftist Jewish media moguls has been resignedly successful quashing any true depiction of minorities. For what purposes I don't know. Possibly they believe in a multicultural utopian society or simply wish to permanently remove any remaining vestiges of traditional White European influence.

Working nite and day these past 3 and 1/2 years he's mangaged to inflict serious damage to America economically, politically, diplomatically and militarily. But it will take 4 more years to make the damage permanent. Send Obama packing before he can destroy America.

I'm sticking with my 93!
Pros: Great picture and sound, and good networking of music
Cons: None that I can think of!
The Oppo BDP-93 is a great Blu-ray player and network hub. Its picture quality is second to none and its analog audio is great (I don't have the kind of "price is no object" audio gear that might motivate one to buy Oppo's 95 or 105 models).
It does have 3D capability (and dual HDMI outputs for that purpose, so the image can go directly to a 3D display if the AVR's electronics can't pass on a 3D signal), but I don't like 3D, so that hardly matters to me.
It has both an Ethernet jack and an external Wifi N dongle (which I never set up, since I have a router in the same cabinet to make a wired connection).
I've yet to find a Blu-ray, DVD, CD, SACD, or DVD-Audio disk that gives it any...

Collision Course
In 2005, a young woman bent on self-destruction intentionally drove her car into the back of another. She lived. Three musicians on their lunch break died. This year, as her prison sentence comes to its end, the case remains a tragedy without closure or explanation.
(page 2 of 6)
Shure Inc. is headquartered in a massive glass-and-steel building so shiny and modern that it overpowers the everyday suburbia that surrounds it. On the inside, the office is far more casual, more like the people who work there. A Niles-based manufacturer of audio equipment, Shure hires many musicians and practices an informal credo of being flexible, letting employees make time to gig, tour, or count on getting to weekly band practice. The way Dahlquist, Glick, and Meis saw it, the place was a haven for realistic types: people who aspired to play music full-time, but stayed grounded enough not to count on it.
Dahlquist was a technical writer on the sixth floor and Glick worked a few desks away in marketing and communications. Meis worked on the fifth floor in customer service. All three men were close, literally and figuratively. During the week, the guys talked around each other's desks, played pranks, met in the Shure break room for chess, or went to lunch. Outside of work, each was in a band: Dahlquist was the drummer in the intricate rock band Silkworm, Glick played guitar and sang in the garage-rock outfit The Returnables, and Meis had been the drummer in Exo and The Dials, the latter a punk band in which Glick's wife, Rebecca Crawford, played bass and sang. The guys got together to see one another's shows or other bands, sing karaoke, and barbecue.
On this day, the friends spontaneously headed to one of their favorite lunch spots, Pita Inn, about four miles away on Dempster Street. "It was always just, 'Hey, let's go'—we're going to grab lunch and laugh our asses off," explains Jim MacGregor, a friend of the three from work. "It probably happened once a week, at a minimum. Any one of us could have gone."
Sometime after 11:30 a.m., Dahlquist walked over to Glick's desk and said, "Let's go." Glick asked if anyone else wanted to join them. A few desks away, Jon Stookey replied, "No, thanks"; he'd brought his lunch for the first time in months. MacGregor, also within earshot, said he had to work, especially because he had a meeting with Glick at 2:30 p.m. to go over the wording on some technical brochures.
Three years later, MacGregor describes the "what if's" that linger: What if Stookey had gone? What if their morning meetings had run late? What if he had gone—but stopped at a drinking fountain and delayed the trip? "All the things that might have happened differently," he says. "The questions can drive you crazy."
The three friends piled into Dahlquist's black Honda Civic. Maybe they took Lehigh Avenue. Maybe they were on Gross Point Road. Regardless, the last 20 minutes of their lives come down to this: It was a beautiful summer day, and Michael Dahlquist, John Glick, and Doug Meis were on lunch break. "All I know," says Tim Midgett, a friend of the three and a bandmate of Dahlquist's, "is that they couldn't have been having a bad time."

Thank you for this piece. People should never forget the amazing souls that were Doug, John, and Mike. I'm glad you were able to capture a piece of how much they meant to us all.
Why does your fragile mental state entitle you to another chance to do this again? Clearly, if she just wasn't in control of herself due to psychiatric problems and prescription drugs, then there is no reason why she wouldn't just hop in another car and kill more people in the future. Either she can control herself or she can't.
I knew John in high school. Everything written here about his character is true - he was always laughing, always making other people laugh, creative, talented, vibrant, magnetic, dynamic, in love, absolutely head over heels in love with music...
But some judge bent over backwards to make excuses for her. He should remember that when she gets her license back, it could be his family sitting there at the red light.
I saw this on "Snapped" last night (not so pretty without the hair dye and all that make-up, is she? Empty eyes, no soul behind them whatsover.)
Why was she allowed to get away with three murders?
Why were those three men's lives held so cheaply?
And she's going to be allowed to drive again? That's outrageous.
That judge should be removed from the bench immediately.

I cannot believe this woman is being set free. They say she is mentally ill, so she apparently needs mental help. She is sick, and the thought of death didn't stop her from this crime, so why should jail? I say revoke her license and get her the help she needs.
What is wrong with the justice system in this country????? Very very sad. My prayers are with the families of the victims.
A sad event yes, but all too often we say 'justice was not served' and blame the system when we confuse justice with vengeance. What would Rebecca call adequate closure in this situation? Who would decide weather that punishment was just?
There are only a couple of methods of justice I can think of in this case. Life imprisonment (which I would gladly put my tax money into) or banishment. I do not always believe in eye for an eye so I can't wish her death, but this is a travesty of justice.
I went to school with Jeanette for 15 years, she is a great person who has gone through a lot the last few years. Everyone in our towns feel for the 3 guys that were killed, but we also feel for Jeanette who is seriously ill and needs help. She wanted to kill herself, not someone else. Its just sad that it all happened differently. Whats done is done. Everyone should pray for her return to health, and for the health of the victims families.
I live in Columbus, Ohio where just a few days ago a guy was sentenced to 34 years in prison for killing three asian students in a 'similar fashion'. His SUV hit another car and went airborne causing a 9 car accident. His excuse was he got mad at a driver on a cell phone and the fast food restaurant didn't prepare his sandwiches right. Difference here is he killed 2 people in another accident that he got jail time for (believe 10 years) www.wbns10tv.com (for the story). Jason Skaggs was his name. I remember a woman on trial for killing a mother and her 2 (maybe 3) daughter's. Was aired on CourtTV (live) a few years back. Alcohol 'involved'. She got 60 years. Was her 4th OMVI and not sure if other accidents involved deaths. This doesn't surprise me at all. Electing a new president won't change anything. We need a 'clean sweep' of our people in D.C. People killed by drunk drivers is nothing more than an accepted form of 'population control' or our laws would be more severe. Every night people drink in millions of bars in this country and drive home. You never read about the guy who was killed by the driver smoking pot. Forgive me for bringing this up but the penalties are harsher for marijuanna related offenses. Speaking from experience you can only get so 'high' yet we can drink until we blackout and not remember anything the next day (speaking from experience there too). Rapists get more jail time than murderers. How does that make sense. Andrew Luster got more than 100 years and he didn't kill anybody. Why should murderers get less time and often if they are young enough (like Sliwinski) still have a lot of their life ahead of them. The people running our government is is the problem otherwise we would be finding alternative fuels but then the oil companies would lose money and the government doesn't want that. Think about the guy paying .63 cents a gallon in Utah for propane in his Honda GX.
Left one thing out. The woman who got 60 years dog was in her car at the time of the accident and her first concer (she asked the officer at the scene) how her dog was instead of inquiring into the 'carnage' she was responsible for.
Not sure that I agree with comment about the rapist getting too much time. He could have killed people, maybe not physically, but ending their lives completely in other ways.
I went to grade school with Jeanette and we even carpooled together. She is not someone who was out to kill other people. She was always popular in school. Someone who was outgoing, pretty, nice and smart. Everyone deserves a second chance and I am glad she is getting hers. Before you judge someone else, put yourself in her shoes and imagine at 23...killing 3 people, making your family go through hell and having a record. I wish Jeanette the best and my prayers are with her family.
Whether Jeanette was popular, outgoing, nice, pretty or smart is besides the point, isn't it? The fact of the matter is that three people are dead from her actions. There are consequences for one's actions. Let's not be led to believe that this was an accident... she intentionally wrecklessly drove her car and killed three people. She need to be held accountable for her actions. I too am sorry for her family, but more importantly for the families of the persons that she KILLED - yes -- she KILLED them. She didn't just slap them but KILLED them. Does everyone deserve a second chance? The definition of deserve is to merit or be worthy of. Why don't the 3 dead people get a second chance? They are worthy of it having done nothing to this person.
I would be happy to petition, etc. if somone could point me in that direction.
I think it is ridiculous that the judge accepted her statement that she wasn't trying to hurt anyone else, just herself. If you deliberately drive your car into someone else's car at 90mph, what do you think will happen? If she didn't expect the people in the car she hit to die, then she wasn't mentally ill... she's mentally disabled. Even a child could figure out the consequences of such an action.
I'm sorry for her family and I'm sorry she was so obviously out of her mind that she decided to act the way she did. In doing so, she affected so many people in such a terrible way. Perhaps it was the drugs or a defect in her brain. Either way, she should be serving a life sentence in a mental institution until "cured" at which time she could serve the rest of it at the state facility.
And I think a petition to get her drivers license reinstated is perhaps the final, disgusting straw of the whole situation. Do they allow convicted murders who gun down their victims to have a gun license after they get paroled? She used her car as a weapon, and as such, she should never be allowed access to that kind of weapon again.
What's done is done. Let her be. God bless all involved and may the families of all find peace.
Thank you to the writer and Chicago Magazine for publishing an honest story that embraces the complexity of the situation. I only wish that this story never had to be written.
Having known John and spent time with him and Becky and their wonderful family of friends, I can only say that the world was a better place with him here. I imagine Doug and Michael's friends and family feel the same. My heart goes out to them.
Sharing our stories, I believe, is the only way we can grow and make sense out of this tragedy. I remember seeing an exhibit for this organization years ago (see link below) and thought I'd share it with all of you. Maybe it will help.
THis is unbelieveable...I worked with this girl...shared a hotel room with her, slept in the bed next to her...what if she "lost her mind " that night and decided to stab me to death...how scary...and they let this animal out in the world. Jeanette...I worked with you on some of the swimsuit shots in Chicago, and yo thought you were hot shit. You weren't then and you FOR SURE aren't now. I hope you ask for forgiveness when you go to bed everynight for the horrible thing you have done to those 3 men and their families...I hope you never sleep another peaceful night.
Bodeie - you are incorrect on the amount of time Skaggs got for his first 2 murders, he served 5, yes FIVE, months for killing two innocent people in 1994. He got out early because he wrote to the judge and told him that he wanted to get married and that jail was making that impossible for him. BOO HOO. He killed them the same way he killed the next 3, using his car. He has MURDERED 5 people in total. Jesus, this just makes me sick. And he doesn't care at all. His only comments to the media were that while he's sorry they died but that there wasn't anything he could do about it now and that he was just a regular guy trying to live a regular life. Yeah, lots of regular guys murder 5 people. Happens all the time...

The "Lifetime Warranty" means that the shoes are protected from any manufacture defects. This does not mean that you just get to trade them in when they wear out. Shoes are usually stitched or glued together in some way and will, from time to time, fall apart due to a mistake or improper production, like the brakes on your Prius. If this is the case, Etnies will replace them with the same, or similar shoe. You do not get a new shoe cause you skate in them and wear a hole in them, or they wear down just from wearing them.
The Dark Shadow in the RD 1.5 SE is Gray. There may be a problem with the resolution on your computer screen.
Sanuk did a fantastic job with the Shunami Primo. It has all the comfort of the Sanuk footwear, updated style and the suede is great quality. I can wear these all day and not even notice they are on my feet. The suede offers a little more protection from the elements, not to mention some class. I recommend getting a pair.

These Vans Half Cab Pro shoes are definitely brown. They have a distressed look to the leather so they could come off as gray in certain lighting.
The Vermont is a canvas boot. I wouldn't recommend using it in deep snow. It is insulated and extremely comfortable. If you would like something a little better with the water and snow, try something like the Halifax, Juliet, Nova Scotia, or the Figaro.
The best thing about this shoe, besides being super fly, it GLOWS!! The Godskitchen Superfly has logos that glow in the dark.

You would need to go with the infant style but I'm sad to say they are currently not on the site. This will be something we will look at for in the future. We do have infant shoes on the site. Check for Vans, DC, and Etnies. There should be something for you there.
There is a white version of the Sanuk Scurvy for Women coming in their spring line. You can look forward to seeing it on Dogfunk.com around March.
No. The Tretorn Krona would fit different than the Vans chukka. It will be a little more narrow in the toe and be more fitted to the foot than the Chukka. I would highly recommend a half size larger than you wear in your skate shoes. If it doesn't work out, there is a no questions asked return policy with Dogfunk. You take care of it online and they even send a return label with your order incase you decide you don't like them.
The Emerica Wino will fit different than the Chukka Low but you will still want to buy the same size you wear in any other shoe. The reason the fit will be different is due to the make of the shoe. It will feel different.
Should be soon. Carbon is an all black and the Dark Slate is a muted blue if that helps. You may be able to see them on Sanuk.com but if you give it a day or two, you should be able to see them.
Not sure with the fuzzy lining but I have washed a pair of my Sanuks in the wash and they turned out just fine. I would recommend washing your Chill series Sanuks in the delicate cycle and letting them air dry.
Not so sure how the Muska Skytop 2 sizes up with Adidas but I can tell you that you will want to buy the same size you wear in Vans.
These shoes are US sizes.
I would not recommend rolling these boots down. If you would like a boot that rolls down check out the Alba or the Paddington.
Yes. The Van's Slip on is in Men's sizes. If you are looking to buy these for a girl, click on the Size Chart link and it will tell you which men's shoe to buy.

Two charged with selling counterfeit merchandise on the boardwalk
Written by Staff Reports Saturday, August 04, 2012 01:42 pm
OCEAN CITY ã Police are alleging that a local boardwalk business has been selling counterfeit products.
The Ocean City Police Department executed a search warrant on Jersey Shore Psychic, located at 1320 Boardwalk at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 1.
Bobbie Mitchell, 50, and June Mitchell, 31, both of Somers Point were arrested and charged with possession of over 25 counterfeit products. Both were released on summonses.
The warrant was the result of several complaints from customers that they had purchased headphones that they allege were not the authentic product as advertised on the packaging. The investigation also involved other purchases of copyrighted T-shirts for sale that allegedly were not the authentic product.
The products included Beats by Dr. Dre headphones and Angry Bird T-shirts, according to Capt. Steve Ang of the Ocean City Police Department.
The studio-quality sound offered by the headphones has made them a popular item this year, Ang said.
ãThe manufacturers of the headphones and the T-shirts have a copyright,ã he said. ãBefore we can do anything about a suspected counterfeit product, we have to obtain the permission and cooperation of the owner of the copyright, they have to cooperate with us, and they did.ã
Representatives from the companies arrived in Ocean City this week to work with the OCPD, Ang said.
ãThey cooperated and therefore we were able to execute a search warrant,ã he said.
Ang said the OCPD received a complaint two weeks ago and others this week.
ãThe parents called; they knew it was a fake,ã he said.
As far as buying any type of licensed product, Ang said itãs always ãbuyer beware.ã
ãThere are probably a lot of products up and down the East Coast that are fakes,ã he said. ãWe do the best we can, but unless we get the cooperation of the owner of the copyright, there is nothing we can do. In this case, the owner of the copyrights were very cooperative. You really have to be careful what you are buying.ã
ãPretty much every summer this happens,ã Ang said. ãWe always end up seizing fake products. This year it was one of the most popular products sold.ã
The police seized over 100 allegedly counterfeit products during the investigation.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday. Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel.
Both Judaism and Islam consider pigs unclean and forbid the eating of pork products.
Scientists are unsure where the new swine flu virus originally emerged, though it was identifed first in the United States. They say there is nothing about the virus that makes it "Mexican" and worry such a label would be stigmatizing.
Two Israelis who recently visited Mexico have been hospitalized with symptoms of the flu. Health authorities have not yet confirmed whether they actually have the virus.
The current strain of swine flu is thought to have originated in Mexico where more than 100 people have been killed by the disease so far.
Laboratories in the U.S. and Canada have confirmed that of the samples tested so far, the swine flu virus in Mexico and U.S. appear to be the same.

'Vista Capable' case could cost Microsoft $8.5B
Expert estimates damages based on 19.4 million Vista Capable PCs
Computerworld - Microsoft Corp. would have to come up with as much as $8.5 billion to settle accounts with the customers affected by its 2006 "Vista Capable" marketing program, according to documents unsealed by a federal court.
U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman released the figures yesterday from the class-action lawsuit, which claims Microsoft misled consumers with the Vista Capable campaign in the months leading up to the January 2007 release of the operating system.
Microsoft dismissed the estimate in a filing of its own yesterday, saying it was "absurdly [valued]" and if damages were granted, it would be a "windfall to millions."
Keith Leffler, a University of Washington economist and expert witness for the plaintiffs, calculated that it would cost a minimum of $3.92 billion and as much as $8.52 billion to upgrade the 19.4 million PCs sold as Vista Capable to hardware able to run the premium versions of Windows Vista.
In a heavily redacted report, Leffler said he had used data provided by Microsoft to arrive at the number of "Vista upgradeable" PCs sold in the U.S. from April 2006, when the Vista Capable campaign started, to January 2007, when Vista hit retail shelves and the program ended. Of those PCs, 13.75 million notebooks and 5.65 million desktop computers were classified as Vista Capable but not able to meet the more stringent requirements for the "Premium Ready" label, Leffler estimated.
By the criteria set by Microsoft and passed to computer makers, Vista Capable meant that the machine was able to run at least Windows Vista Basic, the entry-level edition of the line. Such a system, however, might not be able to run a more powerful version, or if it could, might not be able to execute all of its features. A Premium Ready logo, on the other hand, indicated that the PC was able to run higher-end versions, such as Vista Home Premium, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate.
Vista Home Basic is key to the lawsuit, which alleges that Microsoft's Vista Capable program inflated the prices of PCs that could run only that edition and enticed users into buying machines that could not be later upgraded to any other version of Vista. Home Basic, the plaintiffs have contended, is not the "real" Vista, in large part because it lacks the Aero user interface.
Microsoft has denied that it duped consumers and has countered that Home Basic is a legitimate version of Vista.
Leffler arrived at his minimum and maximum upgrade costs by estimating how much it would cost to upgrade each Vista Capable machine to 1GB of memory and a graphic card capable of running Aero. It would cost a maximum of $155 to upgrade each desktop, and between $245 and $590 to upgrade each notebook.

Nokia has introduced its Mobile Internet Toolkit 4.0. Among the features of the new toolkit is the incorporation of the content publishing feature of Digital Rights Management version 1.0 from the Open Mobile Alliance. The use of this industry-wide standard allows developers and publishers to protect the intellectual property value of applications and content they provide to mobile devices. The OMA DRM version 1.0 standard provides three digital rights management methods to enable secure mobile content delivery: via forward lock (one-time, non-forwardable content), combined delivery (content that includes usage rules), and separate delivery (content can be forwarded, but has DRM protection). Version 4.0 of the Mobile Internet Toolkit also gives developers several improvements in versatility and ease-of-use. These include an Update Manager that informs users when new tools, add-ons, and SDKs become available through the Forum Nokia Web site, as well as added support for non-Latin content character encodings to create content in languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. The Toolkit features support for a wide variety of protocols including WML, xHTML, WAP, and multimedia messaging service (MMS). MMS allows users to send messages combining text, images, graphics and sound in a single "rich" message. The toolkit offers integrated MMS wizards, which generate MMS content in several different modes, including automatic generation from SMIL content and step-by-step part selection, streamlining the process for rapid content development. The new Mobile Internet Toolkit 4.0 is available via a free download.
