Just love it – such a real and striking conversation.
I love these stories!
Great post! We all tend to be too obsessed by appearances sometimes, but I think all of us has a friend who takes it too far so we can relate to Vicky. Most of us get caught at the grocery store without our makeup more than we'd like to admit!
Girl you getting ready for a book! these stories strike home, sounds like me talking to my GF LOL
Supermomplace – I feel like you gave me a HUGE compliment – saying it sounds like a real conversation!! YAY!
I know I have been harder on myself about gaining weight than anyone else. My husband has always been weight conscious and is now heavily involved in a gym. I tried the gym for a few months, but my fibromyalgia got worse, and so did our finances, so I put my membership on hold for now. I've been push mowing the grass in this Texas heat for exercise! The thing is, no matter what he said or anyone else, the motivation had to start within. The comments from him and others only hurt.

Reviews for View from the Coffee Shop Window |
MitchCodyandLoliver chapter 1 . 9/24/2010 nice sequel. It was weird how ginny was portrayed, and I don't mean that in a bad way, not at all actually, weird as in, how much she reminded me of myself. Weird to read it, and see myself in that coffee booth. Very vividly actually, and being able to identify with it so well, as if I was looking down at myself, or something. That's what I meant with weird, 'cause it sure sounds crazy what I've just written. x |
caught in my own world chapter 1 . 10/2/2008 aw. yay! happy ending! take that your-version-of-harry and your-version-of-hermione! :) |
Sir Stud Muffin chapter 1 . 11/16/2007 ahaha a little crazy never hurts ("I'm a nice person really. A little crazy at times, but still nice!") i lovelovelove happy endings. and i too like draco this way. cute story! |
Pizza Squerel chapter 1 . 9/20/2007 whe, nice 1! luved it! (although u shold at least drop the gw/dm hp/hg thinggy, no offence!) |
Georgenia chapter 1 . 8/4/2007 hee hee. |
Secret world chapter 1 . 8/1/2007 i loved it it was asome and i cant wate to read more |
x Veela x chapter 1 . 7/26/2007 An excellent sequel. You managed to avoid the overdone scene of Ginny walking away whilst Draco immediately chases her and declares his undying love for her, which not many writers manage to avoid. You show their insecurities, which makes the characters real, not just like dolls in a dolltown. This isn't meant to come off as patronizing, but I'm really proud of you and your writing. I don't know why your writing strikes me so much, seeing as I must have read every Ginny x Draco fic out there, but it really happens when you write it. Well done. I shall keep an eye out for anything else you decide to write. xx |
GinnyDracoHarry4EVER chapter 1 . 7/16/2007 i love it more please |
RadiantRedWeasley chapter 1 . 7/15/2007 Yay! A Happy Ending, im so glad you keep your promises, i think i can sleep at night now lol. I liked Draco OOC as well. You had to take into consideration that there is no longer a public dark and light side anymore. No fear, probably no lucius, so draco is free to do as he pleases and i think love would be his main motivation. Ah loved your stories. There brilliant - Hermione and Harry hahaha saw that coming. Neat ending too... i would earge you to carry on, but u refuse so maybe just for me :D, or if you ever feel the need to write something - do another draco/ginny skit. Thank you for the great read. RadiantRedWeasley |
Jeweled Rose chapter 1 . 7/15/2007 Yay! That was awesome, as all your writing is. I really loved it. Of course, I've always have a soft spot for Ginny, her being a fellow redhead and all. But yeah, that was adorable, and I love how everything quietly went back to normal after the final battle between Harry and Voldemort. It just... fit. |
Lynn chapter 1 . 7/15/2007 very nice! an excellent follow up. I loved it, good work |

08:45 AM ET 02.25 | Sunday evening from the Twitter world we got a hint that Major League Soccer's long-standing logo may be changing. Someone who reads the fine print noticed a job ad from adidas group and then alerted the world -- via the wonder of Twitter. Here are the words grabbing attention as this thing spins through the social media rinse cycle. These are under "Project Description: Support Global Product Creation during transition into new MLS logo -- all MLS/adidas branded products will be affected"
I think it would help with the branding if it was called MLF, Major League Football, even if it competes with the NFL. Just a thought.

Rainbor123 chapter 11 . 10/25/2013 That was adorable, and sweet, and... Awwww :) |
CallMeJuniper chapter 11 . 4/20/2012 I've always loved how you portrayed Robin and Raven's character. Home is so much like It Only Takes A Moment, and while it was never finished, Home kind of gives us the resolution we've always wanted. Come back! We miss you. |
Time'sLonelyWanderer chapter 11 . 10/11/2011 An amazing story! I love the ending probably the most. You are definatly one of my favorite authors and I hope you continue writing. |
Alessandra Hope's thief chapter 11 . 10/13/2010 Very goooooooooood! i like how you wrote their friend/relationship . haven't you thought about doing a sequel...? it would be nice. CONGRATULATIONS... n.n |
UnderWorldQween chapter 11 . 2/15/2010 That was very well done! |
ga-mei chapter 11 . 1/30/2010 This is SO adorable. I love it! |
said chapter 11 . 1/21/2010 amazing |
DrewMayShipper chapter 11 . 10/25/2009 Alright...I figure I've done enough lurking around xD Besides, the ending of this completely overloaded my brain (in the best way possible)! I always wondered about Robin (can't bring myself to call him Richard or Dick...he's always been Robin to me xD) and his mysterious circus past and despite this being fan fiction, it's the closest thing to closure I'll ever get so thank you very much! I don't know if this was your intention, but Skip reminded me a lot of Speedy xD I probably just have Speedy on the brain But right, back on topic! I loved basically everything about this. I apologize for the length of this review though. I ramble too much and it's rather innate xD About my lurking though...would you mind if I started reviewing all the stories I read? I would've originally done so but I was worried about how you would react to sixty reviews in your inbox the following morning xD |
Ein chapter 11 . 7/24/2009 "They could live with us, I guess." LOL You ended this perfectly. After reading the whole thing, I would almost believe it was canon. I always feel upset after reading the comics and seeing that they never end up together, but when I read one of your fics, I have no doubt in my mind that you had a better understanding of Raven and Robin than any of the comic writers ever did. |
delzog chapter 11 . 5/11/2009 I don't normally write reviews. I find that a work needs to show effort and some polish to warrant a review; spelling, tense, taking the time to at least read what you've written and essentially taking on the responsibility of being a writer. I'm not biased by age, sex or any other form of distinction, all that matters is the writing. There are MANY great ideas for stories, and I enjoy them, but as I said, I don't take the time to review them. That being said, I would like to say that I enjoyed your story, was happy to read through its entirety without grammatical and spelling distractions. You kept your to your tenses and your pov (a rarity on this site). I also immensely enjoyed that your dialog was on par. My only small concern, which was easily put away, was when you described the character (only Robin & Raven interestingly enough) too detail. I mention my concern, as I've run across other authors who think I might like to know what the fashion is, IN DETAIL! One author went so far as to "name" the model of shoe the character was wearing? So thank you for the story, I hope you continue writing and that you meet with much success! del |
TTRaven4Ever chapter 11 . 2/2/2009 LOL to the max. Really sad when the birthday came into view, but it was a great story. No flaws were made, and the story fit perfectly with the events and the show to make the perfect story. I especially like the gypsy, ( even though I can't really remember her name) and all the carni folk were very hospitable, like a big happy family. I also love it when Raven was eating cotton candy. It makes you wonder, What if Robin Didn't hold back, wha if he came at her like a wild banshee. Lol, love your story, and I can't wait for your next one. |
BlackWingedRaven chapter 1 . 12/18/2008 i saw this on deviantart. its really good! |
ultra dragon chapter 11 . 10/31/2008 i must day it was intresting story... |
Stromboli chapter 11 . 10/26/2008 Fantastic. Utterly fantastic. That's all I can say. :) Great story. |
Meghan chapter 11 . 7/27/2008 AW! I really love this story! Please keep writing RobRae! |

Middle East to Get a Taste of Fine Living
Scripps Networks International and Middle Eastern pay TV operator OSN to roll out the U.S. lifestyle channel across the region from Jan 2013.
LONDON – U.S. lifestyle channel Fine Living has inked a carriage deal with the Middle Eastern direct-to-home platform OSN for carriage across the region.
Scripps Networks International said Fine Living will launch Jan. 1, 2013 on the platform making the channel available in all 26 OSN territories throughout the Middle East region.
Fine Living will be offered in English with Arabic subtitles and carry the channel's output of in-home design, travel, cuisine and personal style programming to the region as part of OSN's basic tier package.
"We are very pleased that Fine Living will soon join the already carried Food Network on the OSN platform," said Scripps EMEA managing director Jon Sichel. "We look forward to expanding our distribution relationship with OSN and continuing our success."
From cooking legend Giada De Laurentiis to Vern Yip, home designer, Fine Living's lineup includes chefs, designers, fashion gurus and lifestyle experts from around the world on shows about modern living and design.
OSN vp, business development, strategy and digital Emad Morcos added: "Fine Living will complement our existing line-up addressing the high demand for more women oriented and lifestyle programming in the region. As we continue to grow and analyze customer preferences, we will continue to bring on board fresh content that satisfies all customer segments. Food Network has been a fantastic success and I am confident, Middle East subscribers will enjoy Fine Living which will be exclusive to OSN."
The deal was brokered by Louise Cottrell for Fine Living's distribution partner, Chello Zone.

Pens' Cooke banned through 1st round of playoffs
DETROIT (AP) - Matt Cooke got exactly the kind of harsh punishment Mario Lemieux challenged the NHL to hand out.
The only problem is Cooke plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team owned by the Hockey Hall of Famer.
The oft-penalized Cooke received the stiffest sentence yet in his 12-season NHL career when he was suspended Monday by the league for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for elbowing defenseman Ryan McDonagh of the New York Rangers in the head one day earlier.
Pittsburgh has nine games to play, following Monday night's 5-4 road shootout victory against the Detroit Red Wings. Adding in at least four postseason games, the left wing will be forced to sit out a minimum of 14 games. He will also lose $219,512.20 in salary.
Last month, Lemieux lashed out at the NHL for what he perceived to be insufficient discipline following a brawl-filled game between the Islanders and his Penguins.
Penguins general manager Ray Shero supported the penalty the NHL gave Cooke, saying in a statement that the suspension was "warranted because that's exactly the kind of hit we're trying to get out of the game.
"Head shots have no place in hockey. We've told Matt in no uncertain terms that this kind of action on the ice is unacceptable and cannot happen. Head shots must be dealt with severely, and the Pittsburgh Penguins support the NHL in sending this very strong message."
The ruling followed a meeting between Cooke and NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell at the league office in Toronto on Monday.
"Mr. Cooke, a repeat offender, directly and unnecessarily targeted the head of an opponent who was in an unsuspecting and vulnerable position," Campbell said in a statement. "This isn't the first time this season that we have had to address dangerous behavior on the ice by Mr. Cooke, and his conduct requires an appropriately harsh response."
It is Cooke's fifth suspension and the fourth since he signed with the Penguins in 2008. He was banned four games last month for hitting Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Fedor Tyutin from behind.
Cooke's unpenalized hit last season on Boston's Marc Savard started an uproar that led to the creation of a rule that bans blindside hits to the head. The rising rate of concussions in the NHL has the league on high alert and was the biggest topic of conversation at last week's general managers meetings.
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby hasn't played since Jan. 5 because of a lingering concussion caused by hits to the head in successive games from Washington's David Steckel on Jan. 1 in the Winter Classic and Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman four days later.
Lemieux's complaints came after the Penguins and Islanders combined for 346 penalty minutes, 10 ejections, 15 fighting majors and 20 misconducts.
The Islanders had two players suspended for their actions, and the team was fined $100,000 for failing to maintain control. Pittsburgh avoided a fine by the NHL, and only Eric Godard on the Penguins' side was suspended _ receiving an automatic 10-game ban for leaving the bench to join a fight.
"The NHL had a chance to send a clear and strong message that those kinds of actions are unacceptable and embarrassing to the sport. It failed," Lemieux said then. "We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action."

December 28, 2013 - Just bought some for my mom who has a hard time because of her narrow feet. She said these are the best shoes she has ever owned, they felt like slippers!
October 26, 2013 - Not comfotable,hurt my feet so badly.not comment somebody to buy this shoe
September 2, 2013 - I use my 'elite Trainers" to walk the dog. There is no arch support in these shoes so they wouldn't be comfortable for running of heavy exercise. The only reason I didn't return them is because they came from this website and I got them on sale. Didn't feel it was worth sending them back. I can see they will become my yard shoes before long. Also do not feel there is any real quality in the material and workmanship. Sorry, I would not recommend these shoes especially at regular price.
August 23, 2013 - These shoes are wonderful, the fit is great, I just put them on & wore them, didn't need to break them in.
August 16, 2013 - I love! these shoes! No need to "break" them in. SUPER! comfy and light. And I get compliments on them all the time. Buy a pair! Give a pair! How cool is that?!?!?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Calm urged after trip shocker
Officials fear a curb on international school excursions
The violent and sudden end to a school trip to the Dominican Republic has not sparked a rush to keep Manitoba students at home.
Senior educators are advising against a hasty reaction after a shooting in the Dominican Republic cut short a trip there by students from two Manitoba high schools.
Minister awaits probe
"We are very grateful the students are now back home safe and are with their families. We are very concerned about the incident and have been assured that the superintendent of the school division will conduct a review to determine if anything could have been done differently. We are awaiting the conclusion of the review by the school division before determining if a province-wide review is necessary.
"We believe this was the fourth visit being done to this site by DSFM students in the Dominican Republic. The school division had a high level of confidence from a security perspective.
We will provide any support that the students or their family may require."
-- statement from Manitoba Education Minister James Allum
The educators fear an overreaction to the episode could affect dozens of international school trips from Manitoba.
"We are awaiting the conclusion of the review by the school division before determining if a province-wide review is necessary," Education Minister James Allum said in a statement Sunday.
Students from high schools in Ste. Anne and St. Jean Baptiste returned to Winnipeg at 5 a.m. Saturday after burglars shot a Dominican man they were staying with and briefly held five of the Manitobans at gunpoint early Friday morning.
"A lot of crying, but they were happy to see their families and friends. They're in good hands," Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine superintendent Alain Laberge said. "The families asked... to be left in peace."
The students from the school division were on an annual humanitarian mission to help an orphanage school in a rural area. None of the 26 students and adults was hurt, but the owner of their dormitory compound is in critical condition.
Laberge said he will conduct a thorough review, but said the same thing could have happened anywhere, including in Winnipeg.
"Before we throw out the water with the baby in it, I want to sit down and find out what happened," he said. "Going into some countries, you are confronted with the pain these countries are going through."
Allum issued a statement expressing confidence in the DSFM to handle the matter, and Manitoba Teachers' Society president Paul Olson urged that no one make any hasty decisions.
"It was a terrible event," Olson said. "It sounds like it was well-handled. We have home invasions in Winnipeg, but we still live here.
"Once you've guaranteed basic safety, you want the education system to respond rather than react," Olson said. "Can you learn anything? You don't want people to overreact -- school trips are an important part of a teacher's tool kit.
"You do want oversight and you do want a second look. I do worry something this frightening could get people to get cold feet."
Laberge was uncertain how many of the 18 students and eight teachers and parent-chaperones would be in school today at âcole Pointe-des-Chenes in Ste. Anne and âcole regionale Saint-Jean Baptiste.
The DSFM will have crisis-response staff in the schools today.
Students have been going to help the orphanage near Puerto Plata for several years, Laberge said. They had barely arrived Thursday when at least three gunmen broke into their compound and confronted four girls and a female teacher about 1:45 a.m. Friday.
The owner of the dorm, who Laberge was told is Canadian, intervened and was shot several times.
"It's a project we've been doing for years," Laberge said. "It's kind of a compound, four students per room, with a chaperone.
"The burglars went to the first room. They just wanted money, cameras."
Laberge said the students were not carrying much money because it was seen as "an invitation to be robbed."
"One of the girls spoke Spanish. She said, 'We have nothing,' " Laberge said.
That's when violence erupted.
"The owner (of the building) quickly stepped in between the kids and the burglars," he said. "All the students in the other rooms went into their closets, hiding."
The robbers fled and police soon arrived. DSFM officials were alerted within minutes and decided to pull the kids right away and bring them home.
They spent Friday evening in an airport in New York City and got back to Winnipeg at 5 a.m. Saturday. Since they flew out of Winnipeg at 1 a.m. Thursday for the trip, the students had not had a decent night's sleep since they were in their own homes Tuesday.
The DSFM is covering all the costs. Laberge is trying to find out the likelihood of any of the 26 in the group being called back to the Dominican Republic to testify in court -- five witnessed the shooting and saw the gunmen.
"This is where we want to ask questions," Laberge said. "They're witnesses; they might be called there again."
Out-of-country school trips in Manitoba public schools need the approval of the superintendent and school trustees. After 9/11, the province called a halt to foreign trips. Even after restrictions began to ease, some divisions were reluctant to let students go to even Minnesota or North Dakota.
School divisions generally reserve the right to cancel a trip if Ottawa issues warnings about dangerous conditions. School officials have rejected a few trips in the ensuing years, including one to Egypt, where German tourists had recently been murdered in an attack on their bus.
Olson said he can't recall anything remotely like this incident happening on a Manitoba school trip.
"Your kids go off to do the right thing -- I can't imagine the relief, once you know your kids are safe," he said.

This campaign was so effective that I still remember it well — and I was still years away from owning an Apple computer at that point.
Thanks to my iPhone and my Kindle, I read (and listen) to a large amount of books every year. If you had told high school Chris that adult Chris reads 30 to 50 books a year, he'd laugh in your face. But, here I am. And thanks to GoodReads, I can track my reading progress.
I read 51 books this past year. Of that 51, 11 were fiction, 21 were nonfiction, and 19 were graphic novels.
I'd like to share my favorites of the books I read last year. These are not books that were published in 2013, just the ones I read in 2013.
Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America by Rick Perlman
Great, expansive look at America in the time of Nixon. Whenever I think of the late 60s and early 70s, I know that things like moon landings, Vietnam, race riots and Nixon presidency all happened, but I always looked at them as events separate from each other. Nixonland ties them all together wonderfully. This isn't a Nixon biography, it's a story of all the cultural forces that brought about and resulted from the ascedency of Richard Nixon. If you want to get a better idea of where our modern political and cultural landscape was birthed, this book gives you a pretty good idea.
The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail - but Some Don't by Nate Silver
While this book might initially sound like another in a too-long line of "Turns Out!" books, The Signal and the Noise takes a different, more scientific and statistically sound approach than your typical Gladwell or Lehrer pulp nonfiction. Covers plenty of good stuff, from the political polling that made Silver famous, to sports stats to weather prediction.
City of Thieves by David Benioff
Based on stories of the author's grandfather's time in Leningrad during the Nazi siege in World War II, City of Thieves is historical fiction at its finest. It's set in the style of a memoir and reads like you're sitting at grandpa's feet listening to him tell his old war stories. A coming-of-age story with some good buddy comedy mixed in, CIty of Thieves is heartwarming and tragic, and a great glimpse into a part of World War II that often gets lost in the hundreds of American-focused stories. Even if you're not a WWII fan, or even a fan of historical fiction, I can't recommend City of Thieves enough.
The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
As the fine folks at The Incomparable described it, The Rook is based around the supernatural equivalent of England's MI–5, specifically one woman with a superpower who's trying to discover the person within the organization who's trying to kill her. Tired of superheroes and supernatural fiction? Does the The Rook just sound like Hellboy or the X-Files? Think again. This book is full of great plot twists, and unlike a lot of fiction from the same genre, doesn't take itself too seriously.
Locke & Key by Joe Hill & Gabrield Rodriguez
I read a decent amount of comic books. I am, however, not a big fan of superhero comics and serial comic books that seemingly go on forever. Much like television, I prefer a comic series with a definite ending point. Locke & Key is one of my favorites. Written by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son (so that should tell you a little about the story-writing capability), centers around the Locke famliy, their ancestral family mansion and a set of keys that unlock supernatural and odd occurances throughout the house. If you like mystery, suspense and a little bit of horror, you'll love L&K. Don't believe me? Listen to the folks at The Incomparable rave about it. The series just wrapped up this year, so starting know means you'll be able to finish the entire series of 6 volumes without having to wait for conclusion.
The list is pretty insane: On the Road, Atlas Shrugged, The Cat in the Hat, The Untouchables, From Russia with Love — and those are just the books. Check out the films and music as well.
Sadly, under the copyright laws that exist today (even though all of these works pre-date the newer laws), none of these works will enter the public domain until 2053.
I wanted so much to like Dollar Shave Club. I love the idea of subscribing to stuff I need to buy on a regular basis, and I wanted a good alternative to the crazy expensive 8-bladed monstrosities available at grocery stores.
But, I cancelled after one installment. The blades are just not good.
I got the 4X, the middle of the three blade options. Honestly, if the blades I got hadn't chopped up my neck and head so badly, I might have been willing to go up a notch and try the top-level blade. But after each of my three shaves with the blades I got, I look like I fell in a rose bush. I haven't had this much cutting, nicking and reddening since I first started shaving.
While I love the idea of shaving like my grandpa and loved when to do it when I was only shaving my neck/face, the recent addition of shaving my head to my grooming regimen made that option too lengthy. So, I'm back to the grocery store blades for now. While they're all expensive, my experience with Dollar Shave Club has proven you get what you pay for. I never cut myself with a Gillette Fusion Pro Glide or a Schick Quattro, even if I used them weeks after I should have thrown them out. Luckily, Amazon has blades on Subscribe & Save.
I often get asked about what applications I use and since I spend a lot of time evaluating what works best for my needs I thought there would be some value in sharing the tools I'm using heading into 2014.
I was going to write a similar post, but then realized his post is pretty well aligned with mine.*
*Except for games. I try not to keep games on my iPhone. Not because I'm trying to be Mr. Snooty-I'm-So-Productive, but because I'm aware of my addictive personality and the fact that I was getting absolutely nothing done when games like Tiny Wings were on my iDevice. I've had to remove Tweetbot from my phone on several occasions for the same reason.
Rene Ritchie:
I love bonus content - making of, creative process, deleted scenes, bloopers, and all the rest - as much, if not sometimes much more, than the TV shows and movies themselves. It's why Hollywood succeeded, on numerous occasions, in scamming me into buying the same movie more than once - the initial release, and then the bonus-laden special edition that followed. The idea of all that content in digital download form is incredibly enticing. Not being able to access it on the best possible device to really enjoy it, the Apple TV, is beyond frustrating.
Agreed. I'm the same way. I used to live for director commentaries on DVD but now that I rent/buy almost all my films through the Apple TV, there's no option to get those. Ridiculous.
Easy answer: Blu-Ray.
Remember when DVDs first came out? VHS tapes didn't have all the Extras (trailers, behind-the-scenes featurettes, director's commentaries), and the studios needed something to entice buyers to upgrade their VHS collections to this new-fangled format of DVD. Same with Blu-Ray. Resolution isn't enough to entice consumers to pay $40 for a Blu-Ray disc instead of $10-20 for a download, so all those extras are needed. Same reason special editions, collector's editions, etc. exist: to entice people to spend more money.
So why don't the studios just put $40 Special Edition downloads on the iTunes Store? Control. The iTunes Store domination of the music industry makes all the other forms of media gun-shy when it comes to working with iTunes. They don't want to put all their eggs in the iTunes basket (or the online basket). The physical media part of the entertainment industry, despite all of its shortcomings when compared to online media, is an existing industry and thus the movie studios hold on to it for dear life.

Comments about S-Lab Fellcross Trail Running Shoe - Men's:
Having run on both loose trail and pavement, I will attest that this is not your best choice for paved surfaces. The sole is so aggressive that you will feel every knob as your foot rolls over it. The shoe excels in dirt, especially well in soft conditions. I frequently run on trails that are partially covered by traversabe boulders (typically granite) and these grip the rock unexpectedly well. These are fantastic trail shoes in general. They are a tad on the bright side, which unfortunately won't make you run any faster. They also run slightly narrow and small. Mine fit but it's been a labor of love trying to make them fit. The bonus now, is that they fit like a sock and don't shift on my feet when I most need sure footing. I sprint down uneven, loose, muddy trails and rest assured that my feet will remain wherever I plant them. Strongly suggested to try these on BEFORE you buy them.
Fellcross vs speedcross
By Mike
from Maine
After the purchase of the speed cross 3 and absolutely impressed with comfort feel traction and looks I was hoping the only downfall was wear. Fellcross reviews were that the same quality of the speed cross but was built with a more durable sole. I am not 100% sold on them maybe the fellcross 2 are worth the extra money.

You can't buck the market. Margaret Thatcher said it, and investment managers know it is true.
2012, as year-end reviews showed, was an easy year in which to make money. Most important stock markets were up by more than 10 per cent. Passive mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), which charge low fees and replicate the performance of benchmark indices, therefore did well.
But "active" funds, paid to beat the index, failed to capitalise. In the US, only 32.4 per cent of large-cap funds beat their benchmark, according to BofA Merrill Lynch. In the previous two years, barely 20 per cent of managers had done so.
As for hedge funds, which can invest the money only of wealthy clients, and have many useful extra freedoms, such as leveraging up their returns through borrowing, and betting on stocks to fall by selling them short, the results were even worse. By Goldman Sachs estimates, some 88 per cent of equity hedge funds lagged behind the S&P 500, the main index of US stocks. According to Hedge Fund Research of Chicago, equity hedge funds in total gained 7.4 per cent; the S&P was up 16 per cent.
This is a problem for active managers, as their clients are pulling their money out and moving to ETFs. But it is hard to see any solutions that do not create even greater problems for everyone else.
What happened? There are strong arguments that underperformance like this is inevitable. Some use the EMH (efficient markets hypothesis). Discredited in its hardest form by recent financial disasters, this holds that security prices always reflect all the news that is known about them. Thus they follow a "random walk" in response to news. Beating the market is impossible.
Alternatively, Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard Funds, suggests the CMH (cost matters hypothesis). Funds are so big that their average performance is almost by definition equal to the market. But mutual funds charge fees upfront. The expense incurred in attempting to beat the market guarantees that as a group they will lose to it.
Even with these points in mind, managers ought to be able to make some money out of the market's inefficiencies. But there were some further devilish problems in 2012:
Beating the market requires a consistent strategy. The best known investment styles are "value" – buying stocks that look cheap compared to their fundamentals, such as their earnings – and "growth" – buying stocks with strong and growing earnings. Normally, these styles move in long cycles; value beat growth from the end of the tech bubble in 2000 until the credit crisis in 2007. Growth had won ever since; until a muddled 2012, when Russell indices show a hard turn in the middle of the year, and value stocks ended up slightly outperforming.
That shift was difficult to spot, and wrongfooted many managers.
Equity fund managers are uncomfortable judging sharp top-down turns in the market, caused by big economic or political events. These drove many funds off track last year.
The European Central Bank's longer-term refinancing operations (LTROs) triggered an unlikely rally in the early months, which mutual funds generally spotted, and hedge funds missed. There was a sudden turn in the spring, as Europe's situation grew uglier. Then another acronym, the ECB's OMTs (outright monetary transactions), sparked a longer rally, which mutual funds missed. Hedge funds were more likely to spot it.
How difficult was it to spot macro turns last year? According to HFR, macro hedge funds, which specialise in exploiting macro events, actually lost a little money.
Some investors are more skilled than others. But nobody can tell which. The science of measuring investment skill remains in its infancy.
Michael Ervolini of Cabot Research in Boston, a pioneer in the field, says that all the emphasis is on outcomes: do managers beat their benchmarks? By comparison, a golfer is judged by his final score, but is well aware which of golf's various skills, from driving to putting, are working well, and which are working badly. This is not true of fund managers.
The job is to break down each decision to buy or to sell, to see where skill lies. Mr Ervolini cites Freud's dictum that most human decisions are made to seek pleasure or avoid pain. In the years of the credit bubble, investors sought pleasure; more recently, they have hurt themselves with excessive attempts to avoid pain. They stayed underinvested and missed opportunities for pleasure.
It will help everyone if active investors can work out what they are doing wrong. We rely on them to keep the market efficiently priced; a market in which all assets were managed passively could not work.
But for now, investors are best advised to pull money out, and switch to ETFs or index funds. That will put pressure on active funds to sort their act out. Until they do, it is hard to see any case for a retail investor to stay with them.
