Not-So-Early Adoptérmon: Prologue
on 04.19.2010
[Cross-posted from
my proper gaming blog
, because I don't love you enough.]
If there's one thing that can often be said about me, it's that I am rarely on the cutting edge of, well, anything. I've spent most of my life a few steps behind the curve. My family was several years late in switching over from cassette tapes to CDs. DVDs came even later. Even when video games are involved, I'm frequently a bit slow to adopt.
So, this should come as no surprise:
I've never played a Pokémon game.
No, no -- that is absolutely true. Hell, I've never even owned a Nintendo-made handheld gaming device. My only foray into the handheld world, aside from a few of those depressing Tiger Electronics games, was a Sega Game Gear. I thought it was the future. I was not a quick-witted child.
Anime has never seriously appealed to me. Sure, I've enjoyed some of the genre, but largely, I just don't get it. And to my young eyes, Pokémon was just another anime, full of wide-eyed, spastic young individuals with razor-edged hair and no concept of subtlety. So, naturally, the video game was also promptly disregarded as some cutesy Japanese import "for babies," as they say.
Well, no longer. In my old age, I have fallen into the habit of enjoying RPGs and leveling and upgrading and being a pack rat with non-existent digital items. Pokémon seems to have all these things to varying degrees. And given the fact that, so many years after the Pokémon craze of the '90s cooled off, gamers are still talking about the series even into their late-20s and 30s -- well, I have to consider the possibility that, maybe, I was mistaken.
So! That's where this new series of blog posts -- something I have dubbed Not-So-Early Adoptérmon, because I am clever and you love it -- comes into play. I'm going to finally see what's up with this Pokémon nonsense, and I'll be documenting my experiences and observations right here, on something that will, hopefully, resemble a weekly basis.
I have started playing through Pokémon Yellow. It appears to be a combination of the first two Pokémon games (Red and Blue) and, thus, seems like a reasonable starting point.
Given my propensity for overindulgence, I'm not entirely sure this is a wise venture. Still, as much as I enjoy RPGs, I also have a tendency to tire of them and not finish them. So, we'll have to see which bright, shining side of my personality wins out: The Addict, or The Quitter. Stay tuned.

Dante's Inferno: What the hell is the problem?
on 03.03.2009
[Okay, so I decided to start my own off-Dtoid gaming blog, dorkily titled "
The Gentleman Gamer
," since I apparently enjoy pretentious oxymorons. I figure I may as well cross-post the opinion pieces here, since no one is likely to read the other one, and I've really been neglecting my Dtoid blog. So, yeah. I'm back. Love me. I'm also too lazy to re-add all the links in the article, so visit
the site
if that bothers you, you freak.]
Theres a lot of complaining and arguing going around oh yes, on the internet about Dantes Inferno, the upcoming EA game loosely based on Dante Alighieris epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Many of the complaints revolve around the basic idea of EA turning a classic piece of literature into a third-person hack-em-up. To an extent, this is understandable.
However, I cant help but wonder if everyone is getting up-in-arms over nothing. I can sympathize with not wanting to see a favorite work of literature massacred in the name of entertainment and sales. I really can. But when I watched the trailer, all I saw was a concept for a game that looked really damned fun (no pun intended). Am I wrong? Is there a place for taking a revered work of art and reimagining it as a hilariously violent video game?
Adapting works of literature to the video game medium is still a fairly uncommon practice. Obviously, weve seen games based upon the likes of The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, but those were more movie adaptations than book adaptations. Even the Conan the Barbarian games dont strike me as being as difficult of a choice as The Divine Comedy. And dare I even mention Wheres Waldo?
No, Dantes Inferno is definitely a stand-out, easily the oldest and most revered work to be adapted. (That is, of course, excluding The Bible. I refuse to intelligently consider something like Bible Adventures, here.) And awkwardly enough, it also appears to be one of the loosest adaptations yet, perhaps inducing a facepalm from anyone hoping to get through this peacefully. But no if this adaptation is anything, its loose.
In Alighieris original poem, Dante himself is guided through the three realms of the afterlife Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. (The video game is likely based solely on the Hell, or Inferno, portion of the poem.) The recent Dantes Inferno panel at Wondercon revealed that the game will revolve around Dante traveling through the nine levels of Hell in order to rescue the princess from Bowsers cas- er, I mean, to save his late fiancée, Beatrice, from Satans clutches. Already, the game is way off-course.
I think that the key, here, is to remember that this is based on Dantes Inferno. Based on. I dont believe that EA ever claimed to be developing a strict retelling of the story. And while the title does suggest a direct adaptation Dantes Inferno it actually ends up being a play on words: The games lead character is named Dante; undoubtedly whom the title refers to, as opposed to Alighieri. So, while there may be a small handful of literary scholars who will end up feeling dismayed and deceived on release day, I dont feel that the title is something to be legitimately bothered by.
Is the title a crass marketing ploy? (Well, we all know how gamers go ga-ga over 14th-century Italian literature ) The game is based on Dantes Inferno, so I fail to see why its a bad thing that theyve indicated that in the title. I guarantee you that three-quarters of the gamers who play this game will not have any prior knowledge of The Divine Comedy. The game may, however, inspire more-thoughtful gamers to actually read the poem. Is that a bad thing? No. Its just a name. Alighieris reputation, and his original work, still remain the same as ever, no harm done.
Is it the seemingly exaggerated ridiculousness of the game? I mean, turning a 14th-century poem into a hack-and-slash game of the God of War/Devil May Cry variety complete with demons having crucifixes shoved through their skulls, and the lead character apparently slaying Death himself and stealing his scythe within the opening minutes of the game well, theres a lot there to find ridiculous. But ridiculous can be fun. Why are gamers dying to get their hands on the forthcoming MadWorld game? Why do people love the Evil Dead films? Because theyre ridiculous.
Many in the industry desperately want to see video games receive the same respect as movies do, and were definitely moving in that direction. But I think its unfair to decry the game as a huge step backwards. Do we really want an industry filled with nothing but serious games? Has the entire film industry fallen into an abyss of mediocrity because Rob Schneider and Dane Cook continue to star in movies? Is BioShock any less of a masterpiece because Earth Defense Force 2017 exists? No. We cannot have legitimacy and respect at the cost of being able to laugh at ourselves and have a little fun. Gaming is fun, first and foremost.
The God of War series took Kratos and completely changed key aspects of the character. (To start with, in Greek mythology, Kratos was actually a huge Zeus fanboy, and never once attempted to overthrow him.) Did this deviation from the characters original story diminish the games at all? An overwhelming majority probably wouldnt even consider it an issue. Granted, God of War deals with mythology, and Dantes Inferno deals with one mans work of fiction. Still, a lot of the same general principles apply. When a work of fiction makes the jump from one medium to another, changes usually have to be made, in order for the transition to work well within that new medium. Acceptable losses, etc.
So, I implore you: Relax. This looks, at the very least, like it will be an amusing, ridiculous third-person action game filled with over-the-top violence. Best-case scenario, we end up with an epic, surreal, dramatic gaming masterpiece. I absolutely adore the design and style of what little Ive seen so far. Whether its based on Dante Alighieris The Divine Comedy or Matt Groenings Life in Hell, I dont care. A good game is still a good game. Even if its tagline is Go to Hell.

I call dibs on telling everybody to STFU about calling dibs
on 11.22.2008
I mean, seriously. If I get into a game of Left 4 Dead with you, and I get ahold of Francis, I ain't giving him up to any of you bastards. I mean, seriously? You think "dibs" is going to do anything? I fart on your goddamn dibs. In fact, if you call dibs, I'm going to gank your shit and wiggle my stupid sexy ass at you. So, there. Stop that goddamn shit, people. "Dibs"... pfft. I've got your dibs right here,
and I'm pointing to my penis when I say that.
Also, dibs on Cammy.

The Kids In The Hall play "Portal"-- No, seriously
on 11.20.2008
The Kids In The Hall
. Two great tastes that go great together.
In the above video, posted to the
Kids' MySpace channel
, the other four Kids watch Scott Thompson (the gay one, if you're keeping score) playing
on their (really freaking, ridiculously huge) tour bus, from the next room over. Now, I'm going to assume that alcohol and/or drugs were heavily involved, as not only does Thompson seem thoroughly incapable of doing something as simple as placing a cube on a button, but the other four Kids are finding all this ridiculously amusing. It's really not that interesting of a video, but if you love Kids In The Hall and
like me, or you enjoy watching middle-aged, Canadian comedians in hysterics over virtually nothing, then you'll like it.
The Orange Box
? I've never been more proud to be a Kids In The Hall fan... Even if Kevin thinks that a test chamber is called a portal, and Scott can't seem to stop crouching. And is it my imagination, or is Dave Foley (my favorite, FYI) the only one who definitely isn't under the influence of anything?

Let the sunshine in
2 of 11 from Chasing efficiency in green homes (photos)
One way to cut electricity use from lighting and to enjoy the benefits of natural light is through a skylight. "Daylighting" systems such as this one from Velux are an improvement over flat skylights because they can pipe light through attics and into the rooms below. Some of them also use lenses to magnify light. Because of the efficiency benefits, daylight systems can get a tax credit for buyers after a purchase, according to Velux.

Hi guys this is Jong with AccessoryGeeks.com and today we will be looking at a Smart Car Charger by a company called Bringrr Charge and what we will show you. First glance, it looks like a standard car charger with USB port and you have 2 cables that it comes with. It comes with micro USB and mini USB cable but you can also use really any smart phone cable that has USB connection and it will be able to charge that. Now the thing that makes this different from your standard car charger is that this has a Bluetooth connection and even though it looks like a speaker, it is not really designed for a speaker phone but what it does is if it does not. Once you pair your phone with this charger, if it doesn

After watching the video for this, I decided to buy it and give it a try. I can't tell you how many times I have left home and had forgotten my phone. I love how this thing lets me know if I have it or not before I have to go digging in my purse. I now just glance to make sure it's blue! I've never seen anything like this! Pros: Very simple: blue if you have your phone, red if you don't! So helpful for forgetful people!

I think that you CAN link between them, but it is going to be more effective if there is a natural nexus between the two pages.
Maybe on the Rome page you can talk about the difference between beer in Rome and beer in Dublin and link between those two pages (assuming you will be talking about bars or drinks on your respective pages).
I think the main thing is that the links are not forced and you will get MAXIMUM benefit from them.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts and hopefully others will chime in here so that you get a diversity of opinions on this.
In the meantime, you should also be contacting people who have written blogs or articles about those cities and ask them to link to your pages. That is where you are going to get the MOST benefit from link building.

A Little Piece of Heaven for your Feet
November 08, 2011
My second pair of Chameleons - and they're pretty different from the first: These are NOT gore-tex and are, surprisingly, much lighter on my feet. I loved my gore-tex models - still have them & wear them - but didn't want to wear them into the ground, if you know what I mean. So, I got a pair of the Chameleon 4's and couldn't be happier. They fit like bedroom slippers (no shoe strings - just the draw cord) and are hardly noticeable on my feet. I went the extra step of water-proofing them, so hopefully Mother Nature will be kind. So far, it's been love at first wear. If I'm lucky, the honeymoon will never end . . .
Pros: very lightweight, very comfortable, no shoestring - just slip on, Cons: not water-proofedthe bomb
June 05, 2007
greatest shoes i have ever had i've bought in about two pair so far and will continue to get all the color they make
Great fitting hiking shoe
August 24, 2008
Great shoe overall...sock thickness can impact ft, however, with the stretch cord lacing.
On my 3rd pair and still loving them.
February 23, 2009
I've been wearing these since they came out and I can safely say they are one of my all time favorite pairs of shoes. I wear them on my 36 commutes between Salt Lake City and Qatar and my feet couldn't be happier. They are possible the perfect traveling shoe. I've worn them all over Utah and OH in various terrain and weather conditions and have yet to have a single problem or issue. I like them so much I have two extra pairs sitting in boxes in case Merrell stops making them like they did the other colors.

I can now understand why Bear wears these shoes on the majority of his outings! They fit great, are comfortable, and can handle practically any environment. A well made shoe.
unbelievable pair of merrel's
April 18, 2007
just received this pair of Merrell's and can't stop wearing them. I was nervous at first because the picture looked sort of purple, but it turned out to be just smoke gray; the light brown are amazing and advise this specific pair. comfortable and easy to wear and i am loving not having to tie my shoes. thanks Merrel
Love 'em!
May 29, 2006
These are my second pair of Chameleon IIs and I consider them the best fitting, most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. The shoe hugs my foot and I could wear them even without tightening uo the shoe's unique lacing system. They also give me great support--especially for walking on uneven surfaces like a gravel path or broken pavements. Their comfortable fit aside, they have a wonderful look and always get compliments. I wear them everywhere: for hikes through the park, in the office, to casual summer parties.
Great Shoe
December 22, 2007
Possibly the best overall shoe I own. The day after I received these I bought another pair.

Comfortable outdoor shoe. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for comfort and versatility.
Best shoes made.
August 11, 2007
I've tried many brands but after wearing these, I'm never going back to the others. Altrec got them to me faster than expected too. Thumbs up all the way.
very comfortable
May 03, 2007
I really like this shoe, but it does have a tendency to hold water. Great for drier weather, though.
Very comfortable
September 12, 2005
This is his second pair of merrell sneakers and he wouldn't choose any other type. He works retail on concrete floors and never complains that his feet hurt at the end of the day.
Best shoes you can buy!

Owned a few pairs of Merrells in my life and none of them have been a disappointment. Shall be taking them to Glastonbury next year I reckon :)
Most comfortable shoe I ever wore
September 11, 2007
I just puchased my 2nd pair and will continue to buy only these shoes. I wear them all day every day.I am in construction so I'm on my feet all day,and at the end of the day 11:00pm my feet are the only thing not sore on my body.I don't even go hiking,but I read a review on Altrec about somebody that bought them for a Disney World trip and loved them.I was going with my family and decided to purchase them and I am soooo glad I did.These are and will be my everyday shoe. LOVE THESE SHOES!!
Very nice shoe
June 11, 2008
Good all around urban trekking and light hiking shoe. I travel alot and have to pack light- I use them for walking, working out, hiking, etc. My 4th pair in 4 years.
They are incredible!
August 14, 2007
Finally a pair of climbing shoes that fit great, keep rocks out, no break in period, and look great.
Great shoe with only a minor glitch
May 13, 2009
This is the first time I've ever loved a shoe enough to reorder the exact same shoe when the first one finally wore out. Bought my first pair two years ago, and the only glitch was the rubber that wraps up the front of the shoe came a little loose within a month, which even the local dealer said is a common problem, but not so bad that I couldn't wear them. Nor did it ever get worse. These are undoubtedly the the most comfortable shoe I've owned that is also versatile enough for both light hiking and everyday use at work. Pair #1 resisted stains and still looked good two years later, but I had nearly worn the soles off!
Even Springsteen would love these shoes
June 09, 2005
Well after my 7th pair, oh and when I saw the RED I started shaking and I ordered the RED before they even came out yet. I do love these shoes. I were an 8 in most shoes, the pair of these that are size 8 are tight on me. I only buy them in 8.5, they slip on great and I like the room. Thanks Merrell, how many pair do I have to buy before I get a free pair?
2nd pair that I have purchased
May 13, 2009
Since November when I purchased my fisrt pair of Chameleons I have walked 4.5 miles a day in them. They fit comfortably and my feet have never hurt. I decided to get the second pair before my first pair give out, but I believe I have many more miles before that happens.
Killer shoes!
February 05, 2007
I took a job selling shoes and boots for a major outdoor sporting goods retailer before the Christmas season and my feet were killing me, no matter what shoe I tried (Ecco, New Balance, Rockport, etc.) A friend recommended these Merrells and they saved my neck. Combined with a good quality wool sock, I can stay on my feet all day with absolutely no problem. I just bought another pair so that I can alternate them to extend their useful life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these shoes to anyone, period. My only complaint is that they aren't exactly the most attractive shoes I've ever owned, but then again, I'm a geezer. They're probably quite the fashion statement among younger people.
Amazing Shoe
September 23, 2013
I haven't bought a pair of true trail / hiking shoes in a long time and was skeptical because there's usually a give; you either gain comfort and lose agility and traction, or visa verse. These shoes give you both! I find myself wanting to wear them on my daily routine they're so comfortable and they're perfect for steep uphill hiking, although I wouldn't use them for long verticals.
Pros: very comfortable, great traction, stylish, Cons: not a tight enough fit for long verticalLove the Chameleon Stretch
June 17, 2013
Love the way you can pull these on and off and they just feel like they are a part of you. Would have loved even more if they had come out with a Gore-Tex version. Pretty much buy another pair when my current ones wear out. Comfy and stylish, perfect for a leisurely walk downtown or some light to medium trail trekking.
Pros: comfortable, lightweight, dries fast, Cons: not gore-texWell worth the $!!
July 14, 2007
Took them to Peru right out of the box. No break-in needed and very comfortable! The elastic laces do stretch a bunch during the first couple of wears but I can still get them snug enough. The "gator" top is nice too. Didn't get any rocks in the shoe the whole time. The grip is amazing on dry ground, didn't get a chance to try them on wet ground.
Good Comfort - Great Traction!
January 13, 2008
Used these shoes for hiking/trail running and was quite impressed with support of the shoes and in particular the traction of the sole. I was able to maintain my pace and balance on decent after walking through mud. I was expecting to have to slow down as I was navigating which rocks to step on. I did not slip once. These shoes gripped very well on moderately slippery rocks. I recommend.
Chameleon II is comfortable in any condition...
November 17, 2008
Great hiking shoe, all-around. The shoes slip on easily and the adjustable lacing system allows for a comfortable fit on any foot. The cushioning can absorb the shock of any rocky trail. I would get the GoreTex version of the shoe for snowy conditions. But for your hiking and site visit needs...this shoe is the BEST!
July 26, 2006
I love these shoes. I love the innovative laces and how the shoe fit me like a glove the first time I put them on They are great for hiking and climbing and for just wearing around town. Good ankle support too.
Decent hiking shoe
May 29, 2009
Adequate fit given the stretch-lace configuration. A bit too hot, in my opinion. Wish it were more breathable.
Better than Nike!
January 17, 2006
5 years ago I went to work at Home Depot. (Previously I had worked desk jobs in office towers). I noticed that everyone was wearing Nikes so I followed suit. Soon afterwards I began to have foot, let and back pain. One very rainy day (I work in outside garden) I decided to work my Merrell hiking boots in order to have dry feet. At the end of the day it dawned on me that my feet, legs and back did not hurt! I stopped wearing casual shoes and wore hiking boots every day. I later discovered the Merrell Chameleons and bought them for summer wear. They are incredible! As a result of my experience, co-workers are making the switch, too. It is hard to justify the cost of Merrells when we earn very little, however, we have come to consider it as an investment. And, the Merrells last much longer than casual shoes. Every time I encounter a new employee in the breakroom complaining about lower body pain, I recommend Merrells to them
The best walking/hiking shoe
June 23, 2008
This is my second pair that I have bought. The first pair lasted me amost 3 years. I walk approximately 5 miles a day and these are the most comfortable shoes to walk in. It is like having your favorite pair of sneakers on right out of the box with no breakin time.I highly recommend these shoes for any walking or hiking activity.
The Merrell Standard...
May 16, 2012
The overall design of Merrell`s Chameleon 4 hiking shoe has changed since the Chameleon II. But one thing has remained the same, comfort. This shoe is a comfortable all day hiking shoe. I chose the color Boulder. The Chameleon 4 is truely the Merrell Standard!
May 12, 2009
Great Shoes!!!
May 28, 2009
These are the most comfortable shoes I own. They required no break-in period. They are great for trail running and light hiking. I went with a 1/2 size larger then I normally wear and they fit perfectly.
Husband LOVES these shoes
June 29, 2009
My husband thinks these are the greatest shoes ever. Keeps buyin' them!!!
The Best Shoes
May 16, 2006
Infact I have worn the shoes about 10 hours ago, and they are FANTASTIC!!! The Marrell Chameleon II Stretch...awesome. Actually, its even better than the Chameleon XCR because of its flexability. Unlike the Stretch, The XCR is kindof like walking in a brick. And its ugly in the front. Nice design, but too rocky and mountainous for me. Chameleon II Stretch: Rating - 9
these rock!!
October 21, 2007
I hike,climb,repel,and mountain bike,and these do great in all.I hardly ever slip,and tere very cofterble. You get more than you pay for.
My Favorite Shoe EVER
December 07, 2008
Great Shoe!!! I've worn mine everyday for a year and they still look OK?!!Buy a half size larger than you normally wear.I have wide feet and these fit like a my Merrell sandals-I fits just tight enough to keep your foot snug,surprisingly durable.
Great shoe
January 05, 2008
These shoes fit perfect and are very comfortable even on the trails.
April 25, 2005
These are, without a doubt, the most comfy shoes I've ever owned. They feel like an old pair of slippers right out of the box -- and then they get even better.
very comfortable light hiker
January 02, 2009
In the month I've had these Merrells I've worn them to the office, outside in the snow, and hiking through Death Valley. In every situation they've been very comfortable and well suited to the task. At the office I loosen the shock cord laces for a loose comfortable fit. They're not dressy but when it's appropriate to be casual I like their look. On the trail, I cinch them up to keep my feet securely positioned. The shock cord has just the right amount of give to ensure that my feet never feel like the circulation is getting cut off. They provide good traction on the trail and reasonable traction on glare ice. If there is one criticism leveled against these shoes it is that they can be difficult to get on and off because of their relatively tight collar. This is a legitimate criticism -- although it does get easier over time. The upside to this is that the neoprene collar does a good job of keeping debris out of the shoe. This is a good trade off in my opinion. Bottom line: Highly recommended!
All-Time Faves
May 26, 2009
These Merrell shoes are among my all-time favorite footwear. They are well designed, wonderfully fabricated, and the fit, for me, is about as good as it gets. They're like wearing a pair of big ol' socks, with Vibram soles on 'em. I'm on my third pair now. The first ones are still kicking after five years of steady use. I figured I'd better stock up now â while they're still available.
August 24, 2006
The other reviews speak the truth. These are very comfortable shoes and I feel like I can wear them anywhere. They fit like a sock with sole. Slipping them on is different but the fit is great.
Best shoes by far
October 05, 2007
I recently purchased the most comfortable shoes ever. They exceeded my needs and every one at work is asking me how to get them. Durable, tough and my wife likes the look.
Fantasic Shoes And Service
March 04, 2006
These are the most comfortable shoes ever. I hate to take them off. I wear them at the gym and at work where I am on my feet alot also great drum playing shoes. These shoes simply cannot be beat.My only regret is I did not discover these shoes sooner. The advise about getting the 1/2 size larger was helpful and true in my case. For variety and based on the quality of these shoes I also purchased a pair of the Chameleon II Gore-Tex XCR wish is also an excellent shoe with different characteristics. I also plan on purchasing another pair of these.The Reviews were also very helpful in my purchase. with Altrec' s fast -free shipping what can I say. Thanks from a very satisfied customer !
VERY comfy!
July 18, 2008
Just bought them today, its like I'm wearing clouds on my feet! HAHAHAHA! I am concerned about what I've heard about the inside heel part coming apart, so I'll just take them on and off like road runners, loosen laces all the way THEN slip foot out to reduce the stress on the shoe so it will last longer.
great shoes
January 22, 2008
the chameleon II stretch hiking shoe is one of the best shoes I have had on my feet. Please let me know when these shoes come in size 14 in many colors thanks alot
Great conformtable shoes
January 10, 2008
I have owned this shoes for about a year now. I have never had a shoes so comfortable and good looking.
on my third pair
June 25, 2013
I have purchased three pairs of the stretch chameleons. By far these are my favorite. I was always worried they would fit too loose because of the cinch instead of a shoe string, but that is no problem at all. I would definitely recommend these for every day wear, or the weekend hiker.
Pros: comfortable, great supportexcellent shoes
August 13, 2009
fits nice ; not heavy; could be worn all year round. I would recommend it to anybody
Pleasant surprise
June 10, 2009
All the reviews for this shoe led me to buy them for my husband. Although he has high arches and it was a struggle to get them on the first few times, he now wears nothing else--even to school for teaching on his feet all day. One stop shop shoe! Great for hiking, yardwork, etc.
The best fitting shoes I own
July 14, 2009
This is the fifth pair of these I have owned. They last a long time I just hope that Merrell does not stop making them.
The Best!
May 01, 2006
I bought my first pair 1 1/2 years ago and now have 3! Not because they are wore out either, just liked having a few to change around. I've had 2 foot surgeries and worked on concret. These are the best around for anyone with bad feet or if you work on concret. Thanks Merrell!!
Great Hiking Shoe with a sole that REALLY grips!
January 29, 2008
I selected this shoe to replace my backpacking sandals that have been discontinued and so far I have not been disappointed. Extremely comfortable with a cushioned feel and sole that grips better than my sandals ever did. I was looking for something to start the AT with this April and I have found the shoes I will wear. Though they are not sandals, they just may become even better.
Fantastic Shoes!
October 22, 2012
Fantastic shoes! This is comfortable for long walks on rough terrain, and also comfortable for short runs. This is a light weight shoe, with a good arch support, breathable mesh material, that helps keep your feet cool on those long hikes! I would definitely recommend buying these shoes.
Very Comfortable!
November 02, 2008
I love these shoes they are very comfortable! However the only complain I have is that its a little warm with the GORE-TX, but other than that these are my favored Merrell shoe so far.
Favorite Shoes
November 27, 2006
These shoes are perfect for me. I wear them for everything from hiking to jetskiing (on the ski) and even body surfing. These are my everyday shoes too and I have had 4 pairs throughout 6 years. That may seem like a lot but I normally wearout shoes in a few months. I love the stretch/slip-on style and that is mostly why I choose them. I take off my shoes each and everytime I come into my house and these are easy slip-on/slip-off. No laces to mess with yet they stay secure on your feet in and out of the water.
Great shoes
September 26, 2006
After trying Keen's Targhee and Ochoco, I ended up with the Chameleon. I really love them. They were ready to go off the box with no breaking in required. The toe area was easy on me. This was primarily a problem with the Keens. It looks good and feels good too.
Very Comfortable and Equally Durable
June 09, 2009
I've had the Merrell Chameleon II for 2 years now and they still look great. I bought a new pair cause I heard the shoe was going to be cancelled. So buy them while you can.
Great for doing light hiking or just chillin'
January 07, 2007
I wore these shoes for dry weather desert hiking on small rocky hills and for just bouncing around. You don't ever need to tie any laces which is great if you are lazy.
Great shoe at a great price
October 04, 2005
I received my Chameleons, jumped right in them and took a quick hike. This is not a shoe for rugged climbing, obviously, but it will handle a moderate hiking trail. The neoprene collar does a decent job of keeping trail junk out. The vibram soles provide decent traction in loose gravel and mud but slip a bit on wet rocks. They are very comfortable and easy to snug up. The excess draw-string easily slips under the lower lacing and stays put. You may want to buy a half size larger. Mine fit kinda snug. There is no break-in required at all. I am very impressed with this shoe and the build quality appears to be excellent. While not the lightest of shoes, they are not heavy. The shoe is comfortable and suitable for everyday knock-around use too.
September 07, 2011
I have had these shoes for a few weeks, these shoes are really comfortable and breathable. I would recommend these shoes to anybody looking for a balance between a boot and shoe. The only thing I would have changed would be to have a loop on the tongue. Other then that these shoes are great.
Great Multi-Terrain Hikers
September 08, 2011
I purchased the Chameleon 4's in advance of a hiking trip to Utah. I wanted a shoe that would be great for a variety of terrains - trail, boulders, sand, river, rocks, etc. This shoe was comfortable, rugged and worked out perfectly. The only cons I found with the shoe is the drawstring doesn't give you as tight of a fit as a lace and the rubber protecting the toe started to separate after just a few uses.
Great shoes dry and warm
December 24, 2008
These shoes are terrific. I walk my dog in Prospect Park and I am amazed how dry and warm my feet are even though I walk in the snow to avoid the salted roads and paths. It was 16 F and they kept me toasty warm Great price and fast delivery
2nd Pair and they ROCK!
July 30, 2009
I am 49 years old and I have never owned a pair of shoes with the comfort and quality of the 2 pair of Merrell Chameleon II stretch that I have purchased from Altrec. On my way to try the new Chameleon 3.
Awesome, Trail Running Shoes
July 23, 2007
Yes, I said, trail running shoes, because these shoes are hiking boots disguised as trail runners. I just took these shoes to Boulder, CO to hike and run in the Flatiron mountains, and they performed flawlessly. I didn't intend for them to be my trail runners, but it turned out they are so comfortable, that I just decided to run in them, and love them.
The best shoe for hiking
April 04, 2008
My second pair of Chameleon Ii! tow different color same performance, great
great shoe!!!!!!
December 30, 2006
these shoe feel great this is the first pair of merrells i have own and i believe I will be sticking with the brand for a very long time. I have knee problems so finding a comfortable shoe can be hard sometimes but i couild tell right when i put these on that they felt great one my knee which is something hard to find i had a pair of the nike air max 360 before I had these and I have to say these shoes have a better feel then the air max 360 does which is amazing to me because nike says that the air max 360 is the best shoe on the market and I used to think that until I tried a pair of these shoes I have put the air max 360 up and have not worn them since somebody needs to tell nike to try these shoes on and change there slogan about the air max 360.
Excellent multisport shoe.
December 01, 2007
Excellent multisport shoe. Fit is excellent as is the transition whilst walking/ hiking, etc. One note very warm. Ensure you wear wicking socks.
the shoes are great...
August 05, 2006
The comfort level of the shoe is impecable. For use in areas with different terrain types it is the ideal shoe.
April 09, 2006
I had been wanting these shoes for about two years now, and I finally broke down and bought myself a pair. Altrec had a better price than the local stores plus, a better selection and free shipping. These shoes are so comfortable, I almost wore them to bed! A little pricey, but if they hold up for a few years, they will be worth the money. Great construction and easy to get off and on. Gel foot-sole inserts makes the fit/feel even better!
Chameleon....hiking buddy
September 26, 2012
I had this shoe for a couple of weeks now & in that span of days the Chameleon really does what it supposed to be, a lightweight & comfortable pair of hiking shoes. I used it every time I do my morning walks & my weekend mountain biking. True to it's size & easy to put it on. No more tying of shoe laces. Though it's not a gore-tex type of hiking shoes but it's highly recommend for outdoor activities.
Pros: you can use it as a everyday shoes., Cons: don't used it on river trekking.Chameleon II stretch hiker
August 25, 2008
I've finally found a very comfortable outdoor shoe. I highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for comfort and versatility.
Great Fit.
January 26, 2008
While I have not yet had time to put these to the test on the trail, their fit is terrific and I expect their outdoor performance to be the same.
Excelent all around shoe
December 27, 2007
I've worn these in the 100 degree F 100% humidity weather in Florida and I've just recently worn them hiking/climbing in 30 degree F weather in Arizona. They kept my feet relatively cool and dry in Florida and surprisingly warm in Arizona. They also gave excelent traction on stone and loose rock/gravel. Just to test them out I stood on a roughly 70 degree incline and didn't slip at all! I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and would highly recomend these shoes.
True Merrell Comfort and Fit
April 28, 2008
These shoes are great, comfortable, cool, and excellent grip when on the train or climbing. I am writing this just before I purchase another pair. Excellent product.
nike shox
November 21, 2006
nike should improve their nike shox sector in shoes because they dont provide enough comfort and technology to the customers
Very Comfortable
January 31, 2006
I bought these shoes as a everyday casual shoe. I think I'll be wearing them for just about every activity I can conjure up from biking to running. Fit is awesome right out of the box.
Good to wear for trail run and walk
September 25, 2006
One of the good shoes that I bought. comfortable. some negatives, I found the inner sole less cushioned and can be irritating on rough rocky trails. A little hard to get the feet in if your feet is between medium and wide or have a raised upper foot.
Laces? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Laces
August 03, 2005
This is the absolute best pair of outdoor shoes I've owned. They are fantastic for summer wear. I have them matched up with my favorite moldable footbeds and they work great on smooth surface hikes. They breathe well and look great.
My teen loves them.
May 25, 2005
I found the Merrell chameleon 2s for my son at altrec after searching our local mall with no luck. He loves the comfort and style. I found my online experience @ altrec easy and the shoes were here before I expected. great shopping here.
February 09, 2007
These passed the 6 hour acid test in Arizona desert and streams. My only gripe is that after being wet for several hours moisture did seem to start seeping through. I don't know if Gore Tex is supposed to do that. Anyway, these are my new favorites hands down!

agreed. no matter HOW trivial something is, it is never right to betray the trust one puts in you.And if you were the one doing the "stabbing", you should be ashamed of yourselves for taking advantage of someone who put their trust in you.

Savic Crock Jumbo Dog Cage Water Bowl
Our Price: £6.99
Order Today to Save 13% off RRP |
Bought this for my puppy and think its great it doesn't fall off like my old water bowl and is very study was a bit tricky to attach at first but after a little jiggling found it easy to attach. |
I bought this so my puppy a cocker spaniel could have access to water at all times I was very pleased with the quality of the product and the look of it was good too I didnt like the silver ones The only little thing that I didnt like about the bowl at first was the way it attached to the clip not the one the actual cage the one that you clip the bowl to as my puppy is on the small side only because shes a puppy but would be for any small dog you have to fit in very low down on the cage so they can reach it therefore you cant see the connectionhowever I have used it quite a few times now and am used to the fitting its really not complicated its a push and twist but I found it tricky to begin with as I couldnt see it good product and she s never wanted to chew it I would buy it again if needed and would recommend it |
Our dog tipped over all other bowls we tried but this solved the problem |
Great product perfect for our puppy crate he no longer sends it flying It fits on easily and bowl is removable so its easy to refill |
This is a big bowl that attaches to the side of a crate leaving more floor space. The bowl can be removed without unclamping the holder which is handy if you want to move the cage. Excellent price too. |
Easy to fit plenty big enough to be used for a crate as my beagle is not ever in there for too long Perfect |
Fantastic product, really helps with maiking sure there is always water in cage. |
A little deep for smaller dogs |
Very well made and stable. Unlike the hook on type of bowels, you are not restricted to placing it at a horizontal wire. Easy to keep clean. |
Ibought this product as the larger ones were no longer availableIam using them in outside kennelsThey are not perfect for this job a bit on the small side but they fit well and the dogs cant throw them overThey have been in for three weeks now and they havent broke or been chewed which is a big bonus definately recomend them for puppy cages |

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Is this just a money grab by the PDGA, or is it a way to get players who don't play many events a better rating?
Will the league ratings be separated from tournament ratings?
I think its a great idea--but there will be a whole lot more 1000 rated players amongst us if players get to count every league round played at their home courses in their ratings.
Handicapped leagues still have scratch scores available to post so players can get ratings presuming you have at least 5 PDGA propagators playing. People sanction doubles events all the time just to get insurance even though you can't get ratings. So I can see some leagues sanctioning even if they don't have enough PDGA propagators to produce ratings each week just so they can get insurance required by the Park Dept.
How is this a money grab?
Much cheaper than Tournaments. MANY players will play leagues but not tourneys. Now they can have an official "handicap" like in ball golf. This is a way for them to have a rating. Payouts can be cash and the alcohol rule is relaxed. Sounds like WIN WIN to me. I think its one of the best ideas I've heard in a long while.
I have a -9 handicap , so I have to shoot 9 under par just to be even.
Will results be based on average or your handicap ?
League TDs only report players' raw scores just like a regular event, not their score after handicap is applied if it happens to be a handicap league.
Wouldn't that be +9?
Anyway, I'm so for this idea. Look at the potential for our great sport. If nothing else, at least the PDGA is attempting to do things and advance our sport. If it doesn't work, then it'll stop. As always there will be an adjustment for all of us as it is a new change. At the same time, we AND the PDGA have to give this a fair shot and let it run its course for many months or more than a year to get a solid baseline.
I think it is funny how so many folks have complained about how the PDGA doesn't do anything, and then when they do something, complaints are heard. Which do you want....a PDGA that tries and attempts or a PDGA that doesn't do anything? I know that there will ALWAYS be nay sayers, but you haven't even given it a chance. So, basically, your opinions hold no weight until this new idea can be established. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for spirited discussions, but let's be realistic, think about it, and not be pessimistic.
Honestly, I like the opportunity to have more attempts at rated rounds. That is one of the reasons I'm moving from Alaska to Alabama as we don't have a ton of tourney opportunities. I'd like to live in a place that would give me the opportunity to play a tourney every weekend if I wanted and rated leagues.
Well said, wait...Alabama? When you headed way South?
Do all members in the league need to be PDGA members to Qualify ?
Not at all. There's no nonmember fee for leagues like the $10 in B & C-tiers. We'll track the ratings for the nonmembers. They just can't see them. If they decide to join/renew, they'll be able to see their stats and updated rating.
I think its going to be huge. Great idea!
Will the league need to have the 5 propagators who already have a pdga rating?
Yep. Note that we track ratings of non-current members. But their rating isn't published. So you may have props in your league that are not current PDGA members. Let's say you have a league that's thin on props, maybe just 6-8 who regularly play. If you only have 3 or 4 one week, we'll use the stats from other league nights to produce official ratings for that one night although you wouldn't see unofficial ratings for that night while the league was running.

I'm often asked "Why create a Singleton when a Static Class does the same thing?". Well, while using a Singleton vs a Static Class may seem to be the "same thing", they are quite different. There are pros and cons to both, and each has it's place in an application. To understand the difference, let's first take a look at memory allocation. Then we'll look at memory implications, state and synchronization, and some caveats as to the use and behavior of the two.

Michelle Bettencourt, UNC Asheville faculty member in Foreign Languages Department receives first UNC Asheville Community Connectors Award for academic and civic engagement.
Originally from the West Coast, Michelle Bettencourt (and husband, Esteve Coll-Larrosa '01) made Asheville their home in 1999 when she joined the UNC Asheville faculty beginning her academic career as a Lecturer in the Department of Foreign Languages. While leaving for a brief stint to earn her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction at UNC Greensboro, Michelle quickly returned to UNC Asheville commencing her tenure-track toward full professorship in the Department of Foreign Languages. With a fervent love of the Spanish language, it took little time for her to put her talent and passion to practice by partnering with the Department of Education to advise, mentor, and supervise foreign language teacher licensure students at UNC Asheville.
Unlimited opportunities ahead, she began to integrate her passion for Spanish and Service Learning by creating dynamic courses that ultimately led to the development of "Latinos in Western North Carolina (WNC)." Committed to civic and academic engagement, her creativity and ability to weave together interdisciplinary studies as part of Service Learning has made a tremendous impact in the community. She flawlessly fused the disciplines of foreign languages and economics to create: "Spanish for Business in Economics" where UNC Asheville students create projects that link local Asheville businesses to Costa Rican businesses. Of this effort, she states, "My students and I are currently engaged with ten (10) community partners in the Asheville area and the list continues to grow as a result of their hard work!" Pairing the core elements of Service Learning to fulfill a community partners' need also helped spawn the creation of her Scholar's Latino Initiative (SLI), for which she is being recognized as a UNC Asheville Community Connector.
The Scholar's Latino Initiative was created organically by one teacher's unrelenting search for help with her Latino students who were failing, not as proficient in the English language, dropping out of school and/or engaging in gang activity. And when the call came in from Marriette van der Sluijs that McDowell High School teacher seeking support for her students from UNC Asheville, Michelle sprang into action with her students to create relevant and meaningful academic activities linking classroom learning to the students' local community. Despite geography, limited funding and no transportation, Michelle developed a semester-long, Skype-based mentoring program where her UNC Asheville students in SPAN 300 SL were paired with high school students in a "Spanish for Native Speakers" course. "Because SL takes a great deal of time and energy to do it well, I have learned to be more efficient by combining the three areas of focus in our professional lives: teaching, scholarship and service. It is a perfect marriage for me," says Michelle.
The future of the Scholars Latino Initiative never looked brighter! Michelle is already rapidly at work to build a WNC SLI Chapter based on the original Chapel Hill model where Latino high school freshmen are paired with college sophomores and work together across the span of three (3) years. The fruits of her labor are already afoot as one UNC Asheville freshman (Latina) is a former mentee in the SLI Chapel Hill Program who now commits to mentoring WNC students. When asked the advice Michelle would offer to other faculty about Service Learning and why she accepted the UNC Asheville Community Connectors Award, she quickly said, "The greatest benefit is that no matter what the capacity in which students are involved in the community, one outcome is that somebody's life will be improved as a result. I am accepting the Community Connectors award and grant because it is recognition of the efforts that local organizations make in our community at large; my role is to bridge our student body with the community."
Community Connectors are featured quarterly on the websites of the Office for School and Community Outreach Programs and Partnerships and the Key Center for Community Citizenship where their work is showcased and they are publicly recognized and acknowledged for relationships that enrich our local and regional schools and communities. Awardees are honored by the Provost with a UNC Asheville Certificate of Appreciation and also receive a small stipend in the amount of $250.00 to support their continued outreach efforts.

Rising: Freddie Gibbs
By Tom Breihan on October 1, 2009 at 04:45 p.m.
Gary, Indiana's Freddie Gibbs has one of the best voices in rap, a bruised, guttural growl that radiates toughness but also emotion. And Gibbs knows just how to use it: accelerating into double-time speed-raps, crooning low-down choruses, slowly and pointedly telling matter-of-fact stories about smuggling weed in from Canada. So far this year, Gibbs has released two mixtapes, The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs and Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. But with no invasive DJ drops or beat-of-the-moment freestyles, both tapes sound more like albums mixes, comprised as they are of actual songs. And both of them belong on a short list of the best rap albums we've heard this year.
Pitchfork caught up with Gibbs as he recovered from a show the night before in Los Angeles, his new home base.
Pitchfork: You used to be on Interscope. What happened there?Freddie Gibbs: Basically, the guy that signed me at Interscope left, and he left me there with nothing. Interscope didn't move on the project. They didn't feel the project that I was putting together. It was at the end of 2006 to the end of 2007. I recorded a whole lot of material, actually.
Pitchfork: What percentage of the music from the two mixtapes you put out this year is stuff you recorded when you were on Interscope?
FG: I'd say about 60% of it.
Pitchfork: When you were on Interscope, who were your favorite producers to work with?
FG: I had an opportunity to work with people like Just Blaze; I always liked him throughout that Roc-A-Fella era. I worked with Alchemist. I worked with Polow da Don. I worked with so many different people. All of that was just due to the fact that I was signed to Interscope. If I wasn't signed to Interscope, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to have those producers work with me.
I feel like when I left Interscope, it made me stronger. Now I feel that I can construct the same caliber of music without those big names, without leaning on the crutch of a label. I'm showing people that I can do that on my own, which brings value to me as an artist. I don't have a team of writers coming in here and writing the song for me. There's times when I don't have a singer available to sing hooks for me; that's why I sing a lot of my own hooks. I do what I've got to do to make mine, to fit my sound and myself.
Pitchfork: You've got some big producers on your two mixtapes, but both tapes have a real consistent, solid country-rap type of sound. It reminds me of how albums used to sound in the mid-90s.
FG: Yeah, definitely. I draw a lot of inspiration from that era of rap. That's the type of stuff that I listened to as a child, and that's what I listen to to this day. I'm not really impressed by the new things going on in rap music right now. I pretty much stick to my roots, and you can definitely hear it in my music. I have an appreciation for those who came before me.
Pitchfork: I was looking at your MySpace page, and I thought the list of influences was interesting. You list Tupac and Scarface, who a lot of people claim as influences. But I don't see anybody else claiming Juvenile and N.O.R.E.
FG: Yeah, I love my man Juvenile. I wasn't up on Juvenile before the 400 Degreez shit. When I heard that, I went back, and I was just amazed by the shit that he can do. I think he's one of the most-- probably the most-- underrated rappers. Lil Wayne was birthed from that whole Juvenile shit. I think Juvenile had a big role in shaping Lil Wayne into the rapper that he is today. When you're around a rapper that great, how can you not get better your damn self? N.O.R.E. is underrated, too. I love N.O.R.E. I was one of the only niggas in Gary bumping N.O.R.E. I used to fuck with that Melvin Flint: Da Hustler when I was on the bus going to school.
Pitchfork: You're coming off these two mixtapes now, a couple months apart from each other. Where do you go from there?
FG: When I started rapping, I got into it for the respect. I feel the money will come. I just want to keep getting my material out there. If I'm in everybody's face with undeniable music, I think everything will take care of itself. I'm just going to stick to what I do and make the best music I can make. If I've got to do another Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik, I will until I'm in everybody's face, until I'm the top rap guy. I think I've got the talent and the material and the drive to be next top dude in rap. I don't see nobody in my way that can stop what I'm doing or duplicate what I'm doing.
Pitchfork: What effect do you think being from the Midwest has had on your music? There's maybe some Bone Thugs influence, but I don't hear Common or anything like that in what you're doing.
FG: Yeah. I love Common, too; it's funny that you say that. Bone Thugs, I listen to a lot of their stuff, a lot of Twista, Psycho Drama, Do or Die. In the Midwest, we've got that fast-paced style with our flow. I think we do that better than any other region-- especially guys like Bone Thugs, Tech N9ne, and Twista. They pretty much fathered that style, so to speak. I'm doing my own thing, but I'm still trying to carry that on. When you hear my flow, you know I'm from the Midwest. But, at the same time, I do own thing with my own flow.
Pitchfork: Yeah, you switch in and out of that double time real easily.
FG: Definitely. I think that's something that I do that a lot of rappers don't do and can't do. That's something that I try to flex within a lot of my rhymes. When I do that, I can do a lot of tricky things with that, a lot of different words. Eminem is sick with that wordplay. Listening to him and studying cats like him, he definitely played a roll in putting those words together like that. I'm just trying to stay sharp doing that.
Pitchfork: Being from Gary, how did the death of Michael Jackson affect you?
FG: Michael Jackson affected everybody, worldwide. Being from Gary, it was crazy to be from the same place that Michael Jackson was from. You can drive past his house, the house that he lived in. It's not like it was on the main street, you kind of have to go into the neighborhoods to pass it. But to see that someone can come from the same economic trials you come from and make it that far, it gives you motivation. It should give you motivation, but the problem is that a lot of people in Gary aren't motivated by that. They see Michael Jackson's career spanning worldwide, so he didn't have the time, I guess, to come back to Gary. A lot of people feel like Michael Jackson didn't come back to Gary enough. A lot of people feel like they didn't see enough of him, or see enough of the Jacksons' success within our own city. But it definitely touched the whole city.
