First they were 3-1, and everyone thought they might not be so bad after all.
Then they were 5-13, and everyone thought they might be the worst ever.
Now they are 11-13, and ... well, what are we supposed to think about the New York Mets?
The Mets have played 24 games. David Wright and Jose Reyes have both played in all 24 games, and Carlos Beltran has played in 23. All three once-upon-a-time superstars have played well. Ike Davis has played even better. Jason Bay, finally maybe healthy at last, has been fantastic since coming off the Disabled List.
That's five pretty good players, and five is enough. Especially when Daniel Murphy's out of his mind.
The Mets finished 13th in the National League in scoring last season. Today they are fifth.
The Mets finished sixth in the National League in ERA last season. Today they are 13th.*
* Did you see what I did there? I sort of flipped everything around, all of a sudden-like. I learned that trick at the Amalgamated Institute of Sports and Sports-Related Writing. Which, sadly, was forced to close its doors some years ago after charges of false advertising and lousy teaching were proved absolutely true.
The hitting's probably going to settle down some, since Ike Davis probably isn't a Hall of Famer, Dan Murphy definitely isn't, and one of those erstwhile superstars is going to pull a hamstring at any moment now. Still, the hitting figures to be decent enough, given how much money the hitters are making.
The pitching's a mess, though, and will probably continue to be a mess.
I love R.A. Dickey like a blood brother, but if R.A. Dickey's your ace you're probably in a spot of trouble.
You're also in a spot of trouble if Dillon Gee's your ace. And statistically speaking, Dillon Gee is the Mets' ace. He's 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA.
Actually, there are some things to like about Dillon Gee, especially his 3.47 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 39 Triple-A starts. His 4.76 ERA at that level, though, and his subpar fastball, not so much.
Jonathan Niese, Mike Pelfrey, Chris Capuano, Chris Young ... There's little reason to think that any of these stalwarts will do much better than Dickey. Pelfrey, who posted a 3.66 ERA and won 15 games last year -- granted, those numbers were something of a mirage -- has looked completely lost this year, with nearly as many walks as strikeouts.
With Johan Santana probably on the shelf until late summer, there just isn't any real help on the way, which means any improvement in run prevention figures to be marginal.
As long as the hitters are reasonably healthy, though, the Mets should not be terrible, or even bad. They should muddle along, winning a few and losing a few, with a decent shot at a .500 season. Which won't excite the fans, but at least won't remind anyone of Marv Throneberry.

Biologics have been useful in treating diseases of chronic inflammation such as multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis, but there is still an unmet medical need for more convenient and safer treatment options for such diseases. A few kinase inhibitors that fit these criteria have been recently launched and a few are in late-stage development. Join fellow drug discovery scientists at Cambridge Healthtech Institute's fifth annual Anti-Inflammatories: Small Molecule Approachesday- and-a-half meeting track to stay abreast of the latest progress in the field of oral-based (mostly small molecules) inhibitors for inflammation. A focus will be on the chemical optimizations that have enabled the leading inflammation drug candidates to progress. Presentations on newer and non-kinase targets for combating inflammation will also be a part of the agenda.
Targeting the non-catalytic site of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with small molecules has enabled drug discovery to move beyond the typical enzyme targets such as proteases and kinases and address disease-state relevant regulatory complexes of biological processes such as intracellular signal transduction, transcription, immuno-modulation, epigenetic modifications and protein stability. However targeting PPIs pose unique challenges because the targets' structure (an interaction site between two proteins) is often not known and is usually a larger area with different physico-chemical properties than a 'catalytic site'. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's seventh annual Protein-Protein Interactions meeting will highlight the different disease areas where targeting PPIs is showing promise and will bring colleagues together to discuss lead optimization challenges for the medicinal chemist. Hear case studies of PPI-targeted compounds that are progressing in drug development or not, with a focus on the kinds of roadblocks the compounds encountered.
Within the past few years, an expanding collection of epigenetic modulators - spanning multiple classes and disease implications - have been positioned as promising targets for therapeutic development. Since the approval of first-generation epigenetic therapies, an increasing amount of chemically tractable epigenetic targets, such as Histone Deacetylases (HDACs), Histone Methyltransferases (HMTs), Histone Demethylases (HDMs), and a distinct set of chromatin readers - the BET family bromodomains - have given rise to novel inhibitors that are now in preclinical and clinical development. However, obtaining potent, highly-selective and cell-active inhibitors requires skillful utilization of varied assays and screening methods, such as high-throughput screening (HTS), focused screening, knowledge/fragment-based approaches, and phenotypic assays to efficiently navigate lead discovery of epigenetic targets. Cambridge Healthtech Institute is proud to announce the inaugural Epigenetic Inhibitor Discovery conference, gathering a diverse cross-section of academic and industry leaders actively working on developing epigenetic inhibitors.
April 24-25, 2014
The main excitement over the newer synthetic/non-naturally occurring smaller macrocyclic molecules as drug candidates is their middle ground promise. Like traditional 'small molecules,' macrocyclic peptides can be delivered orally and pass through the cell membrane to reach intracellular targets. Yet they have some of the advantages of bigger molecules like biologics such as the ability to better disrupt protein-protein interactions while still allowing for high potency and specificity. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's second annual Macrocyclics and Constrained Peptides Drug Discovery meeting will explore this emerging class of molecules (as well as constrained peptides that can be considered a subset of macrocyclic peptides) and the types of cellular targets they are being developed against. Case studies of macrocyclic compounds that originated from different types of libraries will also be presented with a focus on the types of chemical optimizations needed to progress from hits to lead candidates.
Fragment-based approaches for finding potential new medical therapies are now a part of many drug discovery programs. There are at least 25 disclosed drug candidates forging ahead in clinical development whose origins can be traced to fragment-based screening campaigns. However medicinal chemists, especially in larger companies with high throughput screening departments, have other sources for 'hits' to optimize into lead drug candidates. What is the exact role and usefulness of fragment-based screening nowadays? How is it changing? How can it be improved? How can it be better integrated or used synergistically with other approaches? Join your discovery chemistry peers at Cambridge Healthtech Institute's ninth annual Fragment-Based Drug Discovery meeting to discuss these questions and hear presentations about the ever present challenge for medicinal chemists: optimization strategies to get to better drugs from fragment hits.
The human kinome has proven to be a large class of chemically tractable drug targets, with a significant portion of drug development efforts geared toward the discovery and optimization of chemical matter modulating kinase activity. Yet, despite the hundreds of kinase inhibitors currently in discovery, preclinical and clinical phases, a relatively small subset of the kinome has been thoroughly explored with selective small molecule inhibitors. Thus, in this highly competitive space, continued success requires the identification of novel kinase targets, obtaining target selectivity and specificity, developing compounds with non-traditional mechanisms of inhibition - such as binding outside the ATP site or cyclic inhibitors - and applying kinase inhibitors to non-oncology indications. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's fifth annual Kinase Inhibitor Chemistry will once again join academic and industry leaders to network, collaborate and discuss practical solutions to these challenges, while exploring the ever expanding arena of kinase drug discovery.

The unranked Arizona State Sun Devils will debut their all-black uniform on Friday when they host the No. 21 Missouri Tigers at Sun Devil Stadium.
Arizona State started the season off right, cruising to a 48-14 win over UC-Davis last Thursday night. 6-foot-8 junior quarterback Brock Osweiler completed 19-of-26 pass attempts for 262 yards and two touchdown strikes to senior wide receiver Aaron Plufgrad and junior middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict had three quarterback sacks as the Sun Devils dismantled the Aggies.
The Sun Devils' no-huddle, quick-strike offense will be tested by a stingy Tigers defense that ranked 6th nationally in pointed allowed in 2010 and yield just 270 yard and six points to Miami (Ohio) last week. Mizzou was without starting cornerback Kip Edwards, and lost starters Jacquies Smith and Will Ebner during the game, but got solid efforts up the middle from Dominique Hamilton (eight tackles) and middle linebacker Andrew Wilson (10 tackles).
On the offensive side of the ball, first-time starting quarterback James Franklin (who replaces Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert) passed for 129 yards and a touchdown and led the Tigers with 78 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Franklin will need more help from his supporting cast for the Tigers to get out of Tempe with a 2-0 record.
Game date, time: 10:30pm ET, Friday, September 9, 2011
Location: Sun Devil Stadium, Temple, Arizona
TV channel: ESPN
Spread: Arizona State is favored by 7.5 points
Series history: Tigers lead, 3-2. (Last meeting: Tigers won, 30-9 in Columbia, Missouri in 1990)

Arizona Diamondbacks
Kirk Gibson loves addition of Mark Grace to D-backs
Former Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster and first baseman Mark Grace started his stint in Tent City this week, serving his time after being arrested twice in a 15 month span for DUI offenses. Tent City is a very different environment for a baseball star who recorded over 2,400 hits in his career with more than 500 doubles.
An environment that is familiar to Grace is the baseball diamond, and that's where you'll find him from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. every day for the next four months, thanks to the Diamondbacks organization.
"I love it," said manager Kirk Gibson when asked about the addition of Grace to the coaching staff. "I called [general manager Kevin Towers] one day and said I'd like to invite Gracie to spring training. Obviously teammates need teammates sometimes and it's just how I felt about it."
After Grace's second DUI arrest became public last August, the team relieved him of his broadcasting duties, and when the season wrapped up they decided not to renew his contract.
"We continued to talk as an organization what would be best for him and with his situation," Gibson said Tuesday at Salt River Fields. "You know he has a lot of knowledge and wisdom. He's been in the game a long time and he's got a great sense of humor so we felt he had something to add."
Team president Derrick Hall felt the same way as Gibson. He said they wanted Mark back in the organization and thought he could have a positive influence on the young players, saying Grace is willing to talk to them about the "rights and wrongs" off the field.
Grace will spend all of spring training with the major league club but also shift over and work with the minor leaguers. Gibson says he will learn the way things work from the bottom up.
"Sky's the limit. You know he's got a great opportunity and I think he's got a great gift. He knows he's got to clean his act up," said Gibson. "I talk to him about it all the time. I think he learned a lesson before but I think this is a whole different lesson."
A lot of organizations invite former players back to help out as assistant coaches or minor league coaches, but this case is a little different. Gibson had no problem acknowledging that this is also about helping out a friend in need.
"His friends are there for him, that's the way I look at it," he said. "It's not like he doesn't have ability or doesn't have anything to add. So with those two things together it was a no-brainer."
During the four months that Grace will spend in Tent City, he is granted work release every day from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. because the Diamondbacks agreed to bring him on as an employee.
"He's good," Gibson said. "So far so good and if you asked him, he's got a good smile on his face here and he really appreciates being here; and my guess is that he's not looking forward to six o'clock."

Greater Boston, the South Shore, and northeast regions of Massachusetts registered the largest number of pending single-family home and condo sales in October, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors.
Single-family home pending sales, or those with signed purchase and sales agreements, were up nearly 36 percent across the state in October compared to the same month last year, while condos were up 43.5 percent compared to October 2011.
The October numbers were almost as high as months which traditionally see the most activity - May and June, the realtors association said.
While pending home sales do not always translate into closings, they show there is increased activity in the market, said Eric Berman, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Association of Realtors.
"We were a little surprised," he said. "We thought people could be holding off until after the elections."
A combination of stabilizing home prices and lower interest rates has pushed many buyers off the sidelines, he said.
The increases in pending sales around the state marked the second biggest year-over-year increase since the association began tracking the data in June 2007.
The pending sales topped another banner month, April 2010, which was the final month to qualify for the $8,000 first-time home buyer federal tax credit.
Last month, Greater Boston had 916 single-family homes and 836 condos placed under purchase-and-sale agreements.
The northeast region was second highest, with 794 pending sales of single-family homes and 283 condos.
The South Shore came in with 701 single-family homes and 188 pending condo sales.
Pending sales on Cape Cod and the Islands hit 491 for single family homes and 120 for condos, while central Massachusetts had 628 single family homes go under agreement and 143 condos.
The western part of the state saw 536 homes and 66 condos put under agreement.
There are many reasons why one region might see a greater jump in sales than another, Berman said, ranging from population and location to residents' personal feelings about the economy.
"All real estate is local," he said. "Some regions might feel better economically than some people in other parts of the state. Overall sales are up everywhere." - C. Quinn/SHNS

CATEGORIES MoviesWhen a new movie gets released, the stars of that movie will do an endless amount of short interviews with the hopes of convincing you that this new movie is the greatest movie ever. After that, those stars move on to promote a new project, which then becomes becomes the new greatest movie ever. Sadly, the prior film is usually forgotten. No more! Here at Moviefone, we've decided to honor the long lost junket interviews of the past.
Leading off is Renee Zellweger, talking with Lovefilm.com about her 2008 movie, "Leatherheads." The football comedy, co-starring George Clooney, would finish third on its opening weekend, placing behind both "Nim's Island" and the second week of "21." "Leatherheads" would eventually gross just over $31 million domestically.
During this interview, Zellweger describes her character, Lexie Littleton, as a "Trailblazer." She adds that Lexie is "unconventional and smart." Said Renee: "She's so witty; she gives as good as she gets." Describing "Leatherheads," Zellweger boasts, "They don't make movies like this anymore." To wrap things up, Zellweger reveals that she loves films that are "smart."

Would have to get another tattoo then...
That century was easily the greatest century I have ever seen. And I've watched over 160 centuries.
The question one has to ask is, is it time to build a side, or as Vaughan put it an 'empire', or is it time to pick the best side to tour SA. If Collingwood is picked, it wouldn't be the worst decision, but if he's not I would be more impressed because it suggests that the selectors have put the focus on the future. Ideally, I'd like to see him replaced by someone who isn't Bell but theres not very many options here. Perhaps Joyce would make more sense?

German American Technologies has pioneered research to develop products that fit individual athletes. Just as you can do sports specific training to improve performance, you can also customize your nutritional supplement program to your individual goals German American Technologies has developed over the past 10 years to emerge as one of the superior sports and fitness establishments in the world today. The company provides an accomplished line of distinct formulations for anyone's athletic lifestyles. German American Technologies can be seen in gyms, exclusive health food stores and chains, U.S. military bases, general nutrition centers (gnc) and fitness centers all over the world.
GAT - Adenoflex Hematogenic & Mass Enhancing PWD Grape Bubblegum - 300 Grams (10.6 oz.)
German American Technologies Adenoflex Hematogenic and Mass Enhancing PWD is a clinically-studied erythropoiesis-stimulating compound. GAT Adenoflex is heavily dosed for the post-training pump! New ADENOFLEX helps your muscles remain more pumped after your workouts and promote greater exercise-induced lean mass and strength gains. ADENOFLEX is heavily dosed with active ingredients which research suggests encourage bigger, longer-lasting post-training pumps. This is achieved by supporting expansion, a.k.a. "volumization", at the blood, plasma and muscle cell levels. Importantly, ADENOFLEX provides benefits both acutely (i.e. after one use) and chronically (i.e. with repeated use).
GAT is a true, acknowledged nutraceuticals design innovator, not merely a marketer. They have emerged as one of the world's superior sports and fitness establishments.Their products like Jetfuel and others can be seen briskly selling and put to vigorous use globally. GAT is popular and on a rapid rise in gyms, in exclusive health food stores and chains, General Nutrition Centers (GNC), Vitamin Shoppes stores, U.S. military base fitness centers, and at their authorized internet-based resellers.
GAT. Incredible product design. Incredibly easy to follow.They realize you're serious about your regimen, regardless of where you are on your path to reach your ultimate fitness, sports and development goals. Their products make it exceptionally easy to calibrate exactly what's right for you. To get you on a clear, easy-to-follow path to enjoy your success with. How easy? Very easy. Know how you can select sports-specific training to improve performance? With GAT's comprehensive products, you can customize your nutritional supplement to your specific needs.
Their total commitment to product quality.They go to the ends of the earth to purchase the exotic and far flung compounds they use to craft their products. But their quality outlook is borne in an unflinchingly strict, in-house management process that actually begins before they commit to the raw materials. First, an ingredient sample for their consideration must be accompanied by an appropriate Certificate of Analysis. Then it's subjected to their rigorous internal analysis. Once approved, they know that it meets their concentration and purity specifications, and can be used to calibrate their lab and manufacturing equipment (including HPLC). Only after this exhaustive up front scrutiny are the ingredients or compounds accepted. With this, they create the rules for product consistency to which all their manufacturing adheres.
A change to remember.For ten years, they have been known as German American Technologies. It's now simply GAT, to make it even more memorable and durable. Their German-American roots run deeply throughout everything they do, and always will. Their heritage of devotion to brand and product design excellence continues to imbue us with the product design & development creativity. It's a name change whose time has come, to reflect the global nature of GAT as they continue to innovate the future of nutraceuticals.
For the first 8 days only, take 1 serving post-training and another serving 4-6 hours later (2 servings daily). Thereafter, take 1 serving post-training. Mix each serving thoroughly with 8 oz of water.
Stacking: For maximum results, take NitraFlex pre-training. In an IRB-approved, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, all subjects increased their bench press strength by 5-10 lbs after taking NitraFlex for 2 weeks. Subjects also increased their muscle work capacity by 21.6% and free testosterone level by 13.4%.

The Trouble with Many Gay Relationships
To my surprise and delight, there was a piece titled "Are Gay Relationships Different?"--different from straight relationships or marriages--written by John Cloud, himself a gay man. Eagerly, I turned to the article and began to read. Unfortunately, Cloud perpetuated exactly what I hoped he wouldn't.
The frame of the article was a relationship he shared with Michael, whom he'd met in 1998. They spent seven and a half years together. Then, in late 2006, Cloud moved out. He used all the usual cliches to explain what happened: He and Michael still loved each other, but they weren't in love with each other. They still had sex together, but there was no passion. Increasingly, they lost interest in each other, and they felt lost.
Finally, Cloud writes, "The night Michael wouldn't stay up to watch "The Office" finale with me, I knew I had to move out. Yes, he was tired, but if he couldn't give me the length of a sitcom--Jim and Pam are going to kiss!--then we were really done."
Say what? The impetus to move out was based on his partner not staying up to watch a bloody sitcom on TV? Are you kidding me with this?
While Chris and I have favorite TV shows we love to watch together, I can't tell you how many times we've shown no interest whatsoever in the programs each other watches faithfully. I can't stand watching "Hockey Night in Canada," for example, even if the Vancouver Canucks are playing. Even if they're playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But did that lead Chris to think that we shouldn't be together? No, of course not.
My concern was that the final straw that broke the camel's back, in the case of Cloud's relationship, was too trivial, too arbitrary, and too flighty, typical of some of the fags I've known over the years. Here today, gone tomorrow, at the least provocation. Head on a swivel, attention span of a hummingbird, no staying power, no guts. How could Cloud treat his relationship so lightly?
Upon closer reflection, I decided to give Cloud the benefit of a doubt. After all, he did say that the challenges he and Michael faced had been going on for some time. Perhaps he was trying to inject a little humor in what finally motivated him to become single again.
But I still wonder what gay couples, and straight couples for that matter, thought when they read about John's reason for ending his seven and a half year relationship. Is that how all relationships end--they fizzle out to nothing, the least thing leading to an inevitable end? I don't know. Fortunately, to this point, that hasn't been my experience.
No matter. There was plenty more for me to pick on in this article.
Several times, Cloud asks if he and Michael would still be together today had they been a straight couple. He writes, "I wondered whether Michael and I could have done more to save our union. What impact our homosexuality had on the longevity, arc and dissolution of our relationship? Had we given up on each other because we were men or because we were gay?"
Yes. Both. In general--and I know I'll get myself into trouble for generalizing--I think it's easier for gay men, who are supposedly in long-term relationships, to give up on them when they become the least bit challenging. Or when they are continuously presented with the temptations of the gay world, which there's no escaping: Lots of beautiful, muscular young men; lots of available sex; lots of fun times as a carefree, single man.
Unfortunately, I think Cloud, whom I admit I don't know from Adam, took the easy route. I think it was much easier for him to start over again than it was to focus on the problems of his relationship with Michael, and to see what the two of them could do together to preserve it. Obviously, there wasn't enough in it for both of them to do that. Or the world outside their relationship looked infinitely more attractive.
I think "for better or for worse, 'til death do us part," like monogamy, is too "straight" a concept for many gay men. When the going gets tough, the tough bugger off to a new life of working out, loosing weight, and indulging in alcohol, drugs, and lots of hot, anonymous sex, just like Cloud admits to doing.
Whatever happened to working out and loosing weight when you're still together with your partner? Ever thought that's one of the reasons why your relationship didn't make it--because, not only did you loose interest in the life you shared together, but also you lost interest in yourself, and didn't show up consistently as the best person you could be?
Cloud goes on to write about thinking gay and straight people assume "gay men are worse at maintaining relationships than straight people." Yes, John, and you've done nothing to disprove that.
And what of gays needing drama in their relationships to fill the emotional holes in their lives from living repressed for so many years? There's a lot to be said for peace and stability in relationships, too. I don't know too many people who are happy in the constant web of drama they keep weaving.
And gay relationships being set up for failure by "the crosscurrents of childhood pain, adult expectation and gay community pathologies like meth addiction." As far as I'm concerned, excuses for failing to put all of your effort into making your gay relationship work.
I'm disappointed that Cloud didn't show the other face of gay relationships, the ones of folks like Bill and Lloyd, Steve and Mike, Chris and Justin, and, yes, Chris and me, who have been together for years--and, in Bill and Lloyd's case, nearly fifty years, going back to 1962, when circumstances were truly tough for gay men who loved each other and wanted to be together in a disapproving world (which Cloud and Michael knew nothing about).
Above all, I'm disappointed that not only did straight people not see in Cloud's essay that some gay people want the same things in relationships that they do (including marriage), but that single gay people, wanting serious, long-term relationships, didn't see what's possible for them.
Perhaps next go-around, Time can find someone else to write an article on the very real possibility of a stable, loving, and enduring gay relationship. Not only are they out there, they're also worth having. Despite their own personal situations, writers, like John Cloud, as well as single gay men, just need to look for them.
2 comments:
I must say I really admire your attitude towards long term relationships. Unfortunately long-term, happy and stable partnerships are increasingly difficult to find, and I mean among straight people as well as gay. I wish more people thought the way you and Chris do. The world would be such a happier place!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Melanie, for prompting me to reread what I wrote nearly two years ago. I'd forgotten about this post, as I have many of the earlier ones, and it's kind of fun to go back and see what was on my mind, and how I felt about it.ReplyDelete
I can't argue with a thing I wrote here. I still think Cloud represents far too many gay men, who believe they'll be young and pretty forever, and they would just as soon throw away a challenging relationship, like so much garbage, than try to repair it. Let's just say Cloud's example does little to prove gay and lesbian people deserve the same right to marry as straight people.
Thank you for the kind words about Chris and me, and the commitment we have to our relationship. I spent far too many years as a single gay man, waiting anxiously for the day when I would have someone to love and to love me back. I can't imagine giving all that up to live the stereotypical gay lifestyle, which I was never a part of anyway.

Consumer choice is always the right answer
As loyal readers of this blog know, earlier this year the Federal Communications Commission took some significant steps to giving consumers more choices when it comes to high-speed wireless Internet access. The FCC set rules for the upcoming 700 MHz spectrum auction which said that consumers would have the right to download any software they want, and that consumers could use their handsets with whatever wireless network they want.
This was a big step for consumer choice and competition. "FCC airwave auction rules to give consumers more choice," said USA Today. "Consumers will be able to use any cellphone and software they want," wrote the Washington Post.
Apparently, one of the nation's major existing wireless carriers doesn't think consumers deserve more choices.
Earlier this week, Verizon Wireless filed a lawsuit against the FCC's rules that would require the eventual winner of the spectrum offer open devices and applications. They called the rules "arbitrary and capricious, unsupported by substantial evidence and otherwise contrary to law."
The nation's spectrum airwaves are not the birthright of any one company. They are a unique and valuable public resource that belong to all Americans. The FCC's auction rules are designed to allow U.S. consumers -- for the first time -- to use their handsets with any network they desire, and download and use the lawful software applications of their choice.
It's regrettable that Verizon has decided to use the court system to try to prevent consumers from having any choice of innovative services. Once again, it is American consumers who lose from these tactics.

I'm very disappointed w/r/t Verizon's stance on this subject. It's bad enough that we, as a country, pay more than most countries for wireless.
That being said, I'm very happy to see that Google is still keeping their stance: Consumers deserve more choices.

I am glad Google is willing to fight AT$T and the likes. I don't care even if Google does it for it's own benefit because I am also being benefited as a consumer. I curse myself for selling my soul and going with AT&T for IPhone. I am a AT&T slave for the next two years. I wish Google and Apple could come together and bid for the new spectrum. When that happens I would be more than happy to break my contract with AT&T

Veriaon is THE LAST company that I would choose to switch to in the near future when I choose a new mobile carrier. Why? They are the number 1 company known to cripple every device that they sell. The future is open, those against it deserve to disappear.
Can we start thinking about the true future of communications instead of profits?
Bye, bye Verizon (if there is any justice and they do not change).

Are you for real? What the heck is Verizon doing?
And to think I wanted to sign up with them for wireless internet in the future (before I found out about Google's 700 MHz spectrum bid).
Looks like I'll be taking Verizon off of my list in the future...
Note to Google: Are you the only ones bidding on this? Can other companies throw their weight in? (like eBay, Microsoft, Apple, etc.)

Did I miss a point somewhere? If this spectrum is up for auction, then presumably the winner becomes the OWNER of that spectrum. If ownership doesn't confer exclusive rights to it, what the heck is the point of paying for it? Analagous to paying for a car at an auction, then being told by the seller that you have to leave the keys in the car at all times, just in case anyone else feels like going for a drive...
- September 14, 2007 at 3:07 PM
- Chris said...
@ Brad. It's not the same. If someone buys a car at auction, you are free to buy another car from a different maker and drive it. Not so with wireless spectrum. Cars are not public utilities, or for the public benefit. The owner of the spectrum would have complete and total control over it. No one else could operate in that frequency space. So in that way it is anti-competitive. That's why the rule is there to guarantee access to the spectrum regardless of who actually owns it.

Before google express their support for public interest, I just wonder how much google cares about public's privacy. They collect all the data to figure what are consumers preferences, trend etc. I think Google is also monopolistic company. Why google does not allow to remove google cookies from machines ?? I think this is sheer hypocrisy in name of doing good for public. All corporates are alike, be it google or verizon.

I am afraid owning a car (private property) is not analogous to owning a specturm (public use). Auction winning of a spectrum should only represent an "operating license" on that band, and the owner can conduct legal business in that band. For example, Verizon can install a broadband router/access-point operating in that frequency band and can charge the consumers for using that internet service, since they are allowed to do business in that band. Just like a guy locks his car, Verizon can have all sorts of restricted access to its router and router alone. But locking the entire specturm is analogous to that car guy (imagine a car-rental company) buying couple of important US-highways that connects major cities and does not allow any other cars to use it!
Imagine a case where you have to take crazy alternate routes just because a guy is not allowing access to a highway. Even if the law permits it, it is degrading to the quality of human life. There is a objective difference between "conducting business in" and "owning" a public property, and Verizon, I think, got it wrong. I am not supporting Google, but in this case, they are right in my view.

While I'm appreciative of Google's efforts to take this pro-consumer stance, it seems that no one is addressing the key technical flaw to this arguement. As you know, in the US we have carriers running networks with a variety of incompatible technologies (GSM, CDMA, iDen, WiMax, etc.) and on various proprietary freqency bands (700, 800, 900, 1200, 1900 MHz, etc.). The technical impact of this to consumers is, for example, a GSM iPhone on AT&T's network, even if fully unlocked, will never work on Verizon's CDMA network, even if both Verizon and the FCC agree to allow any device on to any network. While there are "world phone" devices available that work across several technologies and frequencies, they represent a tiny percentage of US consumers handsets. How does google address this issue?
- September 18, 2007 at 11:53 AM
- manikanden said...
Yes you are correct that the communications platform is currently diverse, and that there are few integrated phones.
But, allowing open access is the first step towards creating a scenario where a device works across a range of networks.
The concept of cognitive radios, where all sorts of modulation and coding is done in the software, might take the center stage. A single hardware, and the users can just download a software for operating in a standard.
This would give the phone manufacturers the flexibility to pair up with any service providers at any time, which in turn will enable constructive competition, which the fundamental point anyway.
- September 18, 2007 at 12:29 PM
- Apoorv said...
Whole concept of open access has been diluted without the wholesale requirement. And now Verizon wants to push it further so that they can control the open devices too.
I think a "neo-com" company should win one of the C-block licenses and show the world how a real open wireless system can be run. This can lead to the biggest innovation after internet.
- September 24, 2007 at 11:58 AM
- Sugar Land 2K said...
I agree with Google and the FCC on this one! The goal of the new 700Mhz was to increase commuations within Public Service (Fire/Police, etc.) and to insure communications for public good. It is not all about the $$$$. Open use/Open Source rules.

noah... Google is clearly a more consumer friendly company than Verizon but the stock price of +$550 versus +$40 is meaningless when Google has only 312 million shares outstanding while Verizon has 2.9 billion shares outstanding

- Bernard said...
I'm curious to learn about Google's business case re. ROI on $4.6B using an open platform... Is it based on advertisement? If so, then Quality of Service becomes secondary (as it is nowadays with the Internet and VoIP). Then you will miss the "It's the network"...
Oh by the way "noah", the price of the stock doesn't mean anything if you don't have the starting price and number of outstanding shares (Finance 101).

Well, if you want an "freedom"-open-company, why don't you switch to cricket? or metroPC or any of these prepaid companies where you can use any phone you want? and even "unlimited" (dropped calls) minutes. (without any warranty unlike Verizon's 1 year In-store replacement policy).
It turns out that just the fact of setting a phone number cost 200 dollars, just for the setup. Then Verizon discounts 300 dollar phones to 0 or cheap. They give you unlimited nights and weekends and mobile to mobile, and no roaming or long distance charges, the best coverage, reception, 24-hour customer service, the best trained folks at the stores, and you still complain?.
In Mexico a basic 2 year contract, for 110 anytime minutes (no text or data included), cost 40 dollars a month, and you don't get mobile to mobile, or free long distance. or even nights and weekends. A basic Motorola RAZR costs at least 220 dollars even with a contract. Yes its very lame, but my point is: do you really think americans pay too much for wireless??. think again. Verizon Wireless really care about its customers... but what's wrong to want to get money out of it? Don't they deserve it for all you're getting?

Fashion Blitz — How to rock colored denim
Ashley's pick:
Some may think bright green pants are a splurge and unpractical, but they're actually very wearable and easy to coordinate into different ensembles as long as you have a little creativity.
The outfit I styled this week is bold from head to toe. I wanted the green pants to be the center of focus, so I kept the rest of the palette strictly black and white.
The striped top over the polka dot blouse keeps a black and white combination interesting and not so predictable. I added the oversize blazer to complete the look and for some additional warmth.
The bright colored pants make a big statement without trying too hard. They're also a fit flattering for nearly all body types and at a price point that is budget-friendly.
I finished off the look with some chunky suede wedges that compliment the other bold pieces.

With two trial court victories for DMX a significant change is brewing in the music industry
In response to: DMX Wins Landmark Decision against ASCAP and BMI
Earlier this week, DMX won a massive court battle against ASCAP and BMI signaling a significant turn for the music industry. In order to understand the impact of this court ruling let me first explain who DMX is.
DMX began in 1971, as a music service to license and program original artist music. DMX's primary focus was custom music programs for businesses. In the 80s, the company began providing services to international airlines, as well as residential and cable television systems.
In 2012 Mood Media bought the company for $86.1 million. You should also know that Mood Media was bought the year before by Fluid Music based in Canada for $200 million (changing the name to Mood Media). The "new" Mood Media went on to round out their portfolio by acquiring Muzak for $345 million, positioning themselves as the largest in-store media specialist company in the world.
So the largest in-store media company in the world wins two court cases against the two largest performing rights organizations in the world, ASCAP and BMI? Why is this massive?
As stated in the press release the ruling resets fee structures and limits market power long held by ASCAP and BMI. It set a precedent allowing performing artists and composers to negotiate and license their music directly with commercial music providers such as Mood Media and in our case, Tribe of Noise.
One of the biggest hurdles facing the music industry is the segrated markets and the collective performing rights organizations (PRO's) managing those regions. Billions of dollars are collected by PRO's like ASCAP, BMI, PRS, GEMA, SACEM and hundred of other smaller entities. However it's the management of this money that really stifles artists because their cut is generally not enough to sustain their work.
In the Netherlands, where Tribe of Noise is based, our infrastructure is already set up so that we are executing "all rights included" music services together with (in-store) media companies as an alternative to performing rights organizations. Essentially this ruling in DMX's favor is a giant step forward in closing the gap between how licensing structures are regulated, aligning the U.S. and European regions more closely. In other words, there are now more opportunities for artists to showcase their music globally with less interference from dubious middle men.
If in-store media companies can pay-out the musicians directly without having to deal with performing rights organizations, the fees for the customers can come down (or more services could be offered for the same price) while the pay-out to the participating musicians will go up. Shorten the value chain, use technology for improved efficiency & transparancy and pay-for-play to the rightful owner(s) of the songs involved.
While respected industry experts can't stop nagging these days about piracy and the lack of successful digital business models making up for the losses at major record labels, the music licensing business IS the #1 revenue generator in the industry. In fact the fastest growing product that Mood Media offers is royalty free music. It seems obvious to me that this is where the industry's efforts should be focused instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
To give you an idea how big this industry is. In The Netherlands (Europe) the local BUMA/STEMRA and SENA together collect roughly $125 million a year for in-store media royalties.
As with anything involving change, the implementation will likely be slow – there will undoubtedly be roadblocks along the way. Many businesses in need for media don't know there is an alternative and last but not least: ASCAP and BMI are huge performing rights organizations but they are US based. Meaning, every single European country has its own ASCAP/BMI who will argue that the legislation doesn't apply. It will be interesting to see how this is challenged on a global scale and what countries may be next in line.
This victory for DMX is not only significant for the music industry but it also aligns with my vision for Tribe of Noise and what we have been doing to facilitate artists through all rights included music. The best news is, direct licensing deals to (global) businesses in other industries like mobile, television and cloud services are just a matter of time.

FOX News Senior Correspondent Adam Housley reported that Daft Punk scored big at the 56 Annual Grammy Awards as they took home the gold trifecta. They won Best Album of the Year, Best Dance Electronic Album and Best Pop Duo Group Performance for their single, Get Lucky.
The show lived up to its expectations delivering jaw-dropping performances starting with Beyonce and Jay-Z's risque opening act.
The Rap mogul even took home the Best Rap Song Collaboration trophy with Justin Timberlake for Holy Grail.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' first U.S. Appearance, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney took the stage. The guitarist also accepted the Best Rock Song gramophone with former Nirvana member for Cut Me Some Slack.
New Zealand new-comer Lorde landed Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit track, Royals.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took home Grammy gold with four awards including Best New Artist and Best Rap Album.
The duo also made history with the emotional performance of the night, as over 30 couples exchanged wedding vows during their renditions of Same Love with Mary Lambert, Madonna and Queen Latifah.
Despite the big night, everyone is talking about Pharrell's hat this morning. Even Arby's sent out a tweet asking Pharrell if they can have their hat back in which Pharrell replied, "Y'all tryna start a roast beef?."
That's not all, someone also made a twitter accounted for Pharrell's Hat and it has more than 15,000 followers.
Speaking of social media, the Grammy's social media is managed by only one woman, Lindsay Gabler. Gabler says that managing the social media for The Grammys is more than just live tweeting the night of the show. Gabler has to get the fans excited 365 days a year.
Fans will have to stay tuned for what The Grammy's has planned for next year. If you want to stay in the loop, follow Gabler @lndsygblr.

On Wednesday, Aug. 28, hundreds of groups across the nation will gather to celebrate the most significant event in civil rights history since the Emancipation Proclamation. On that day, "the Great March," as it came to be known, brought 300,000 protesters to Washington, D.C., in the cause of freedom and social justice for millions of African Americans. It seems like a long, long time ago.
Like so many highly recognized events, the March on Washington did not occur as a result of some isolated event or group impulse. Not only was it carefully planned, it had been preceded by other, smaller, protests in Washington stretching back to the 1940s. Its organizers were A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and noted black activist and tactician, Bayard Rustin.
Out of racial foment throughout the country, Randolph and Rustin reached out to Dr. Martin Luther King as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and later, the leadership of key groups including a black labor organization, the Congress of Racial Equality, the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. These groups formed an umbrella coalition, the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership. Together, they became known as "The Big Six."
At the time, President John F. Kennedy's rather tepid proposed civil rights legislation was stuck in Congress. Nonetheless, Kennedy disapproved of the March and urged Randolph, Rustin, King, and other members of the coalition to call it off. They refused. One of the main reasons for their refusal was that Kennedy, for purely political reasons, had become too cozy with southern Democrats, or "Dixiecrats."
In fact, it was somewhat surprising to see baseball legend Jackie Robinson weigh in on the subject. After all, Robinson was very conservative. But, in the matter of President Kennedy's opposition to the March on Washington, Robinson questioned his motives. In one of his series of letters, he wrote:

What, a full bodied Ale, did this Beer come from Germany?, nope...Seattle. I was not sure but I really like this Beer, it is an all occasion beer and good for America, I thought only Germans could brew an ale like this one. Be sure to let your mom taste one and see what she thinks.

Poured into a large tulip glass a slightly hazed medium golden with a decent but quick to fade head for the style,a pretty lackluster look.Aromas of mild spiced phenols,sharp sweet alcohol,and sweet mango and pineapple.A little bready malt at the onset of the palate with clove-like spiced phenols and drunkenfruit rounding out the flavor profile.A pretty subtle flavored tripel but with pretty big alcohol,pretty average.

3.05/5 rDev -15.5%
Appearance - This is a nice, light, almost glowing orange in color with a cool, pooling, foaming white head that created a lovely foamy bath on top of the liquid.
Smell - There is some really nice orange citrus here, more like the peel of an orange than the flesh, but the alcohol comes over as straight medicine cabinet.
Taste - The malt is surprisingly strong and balanced as I didn't pick this up at the nose and the hops are mostly herbal but again the alcohol ruins the show. The hop depth also is noticeably absent which is a shame coming from a PacNW brewery.
Mouthfeel - This is a good medium-bodied with some decent carbonation and a respectable drying at the finish.
Drinkability - This is not a bad beer but clearly falls short of the style standard. I like this brewery but they bit off more than they could chew with this effort.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #42 (Jul 2010):
Hazed golden-yellow brew is topped with a thick brimming of white head. Papaya, pears, honeydew melon, nutty yeast and freshly cut grass graininess are in the nose. A malty body rides on the smoothness. Grainy malt with suggestions of dried grass and doughy biscuits are among the flavors present in this beer. The alcohol shows its warmth, fruity and peppery. Its phenols are medicinal, minty and herbal, and they all linger hard in the semisweet aftertaste. This beer packs a bit more body than we are used to and is perhaps not as crisp, but certainly the flavor is there.

Poured into a pint glass from a bomber.
In spite of aggressive pour, there was little head and what there was, dissipated quickly. Appearance was a foggy golden color that was very appealing to the eye.
I have little experience with Tripels so I don't have a point of comparison but I can say that it was very enjoyable and I had to restrain myself from drinking it too quickly.
A very enjoyable beer with a sneaky kick.

my second review, bear with me!
picked up a 22 oz of this at the Safeway near the Junction in West Seattle. poured into a goblet.
Appearance: pours a brilliant orangish gold that tries so hard not to look yellow. one finger head with white foam that quickly dissipates. far from clear, almost hazy.
Smell: floral, evergreen/piney, peaches - maybe nectarines, roasty banana aroma.
Taste: hop-like, fizzy (not like carbonated or a soft-drink, soft fizz/foamy), 9.0% alcohol content hidden very well, quite subtle, but shows up in after taste (which is malty and corn-like).
Mouthfeel: again - sort of fizzy or foamy, fun like a champagne.
goes down with ease, but seems like fruit flavors get stuck to the throat (density?).
Overall: a very drinkable Tripel, my first offering from Pike in my new hometown of Seattle, which I must say is well done for such a "foreign" style.

A lovely beer in colour...A great light ale, clear pale yellowwith a balance of hops and grain in the nose.
The first sip was a bit surprising with not as many floral notes coming as the smell predicted.
NO sense of the alcohol level in the taste or smell (9.0%) and a clear hoppy-grain scent with the hops adding herbal overtones.
The mouth feel was thinner than expected with a coarser carbonation and lighter overall texture.
For an ale, this one rocks the world on effect; a totally unexpected (from taste or smell!) shifting of lucidity. I'll be a monkey's uncle indeed!
I would try this again; it comes across as much lighter than expected in smell/taste and then wallops you with a stool. Pikes Place, keep 'em coming, your creations are brilliant!

This beer pours a moderately foggy medium golden colour, with two fingers of foamy white head, which leaves very sparse lace as it melts away. The aroma is very wheaty, the banana/coriander quite evident, as is some citrus and light yeast. The taste is big wheaty malt, sour white fruit, edgy alcohol, and mild fruity yeast. The bubbles are quite tame, the body big, smooth, and creamy, and it finishes off-dry, and clean, some spicy fruit and booze warming holding court.
A pretty decent effort, the fruitiness evident, the yeastiness on the down low, the alcohol pretty well integrated. Not too shabby.

Review from notes.
A: Pours a hazy yellow with a foamy head that reduces rather quickly. Sporadic lacing.
S: Belgian yeast, some banana, faint apple and pear, and a good bit of spices, mostly cloves.
T: Lots of wheat, more banana, and the Belgian yeast comes through with some more cloves.
M: Medium bodied with active carbonation. Pretty smooth for 9%.
O: A pretty good tripel, one of the better beers I had at Pike.

Pretty strong haze inside a peachy, sunny yellow/gold color. The head is thin even with a fairly hard pour, and dwindles to a skim very quickly.
More straw and hay and mineral and earth than the alcohol and spices that usually typify a tripel, but it's clearly Belgian, and I'll bet that's the yeast talkin'. Some pear, peach and apple too. Almost saison or Belgian pale ale in aroma, which is fine too.
This would be a pretty nice tripel, and it seems more like one on tongue, if it weren't for an odd medicinal twang in the taste. Somewhat metallic, too. Might even call it "band aid" but not in that good way you might use them same term to describe a delicious Brett-ified ale. There's big juicy sweet peach and pear swirling around, a grassy hop presence, and the soil/earth dirtiness of the yeast...I like these aspects of the beer, but with that strange medicinal twist, and something even sort of burnt tasting (!), it's hard to decipher what's going on, making a mess of what seems like an otherwise perfectly well brewed beer. Surprisingly the 9% alcohol doesn't jump right out at me, and that's odd for any tripel.
Despite reservations about the taste, this sure does feel good. Buoyant and slick, with abundant creaminess and just the right touch of carbonation, it does the trick in this department.
Unfortunately this one doesn't entirely deliver where it should (the Taste category, of course). I like some "strange" in a beer, but this time "the strange" does not equal "kick ass."

Pours out a gold ,moderately carbonated brew.Seems very "thick". Not a whole lot of head, i poured it pretty hard too. Pretty weak smell, mildly phenolic with a whiff of oranges. Very bold taste,,a little too tart for me. Mouthfeel is slick, ok in this department. Drinkablity is ok at best, an ok beer probably not one i would buy again.Taste is a little too over the top. Alcohol at 9% is well concealed.

22oz bomber served in pint glass. Beer is pale golden in color, not quite translucent, and topped with very little white head. Sweet and fruity on the nose, suggesting ripe peaches or pears. Flavor is highly contrasted, combining the sweetness detected in the armoa with yeasty astringency and a moderate dose of hops. Grain flavors are muddled and fall into the background with everything else going on here. There's also a serious presence of alcohol. At 9%, there are other tripels that hide it a lot better, and with more interesting flavor. The finish is neither sugary nor crisp. Rather, there's a cloying flavor of what I can only describe as stale spices (clove, cinnamon) that have lost their potency and are now bland, dry, and harsh. (I should note that though there's no freshness date, this beer was purchased recently, and locally, so I have no qualms above reviewing it).
Drinkable but would recommend not committing to a large serving.

Poured into a large tulip glass, Monk's Uncle delivered a cloudy golden-orange body beneath a massive head of rocky antique-white foam. The head retention is quite good, and it left walls of splattered lace about the glass.
The nose is fresh with a bready, somewhat wheaty malt and a soft, gently peppery spiciness. Fruit (apple, pear, soft melon), grassiness, and dull dreid-herbs (thyme, rosemary) lie in the background.
In the mouth it's medium to medium-full in body with a dextrinous side; balanced by a gently bristling, fine-bubbled carbonation.
The flavor follows the aroma, and it's fairly straightforward. The malt is lightly sweet and bready with a sugary edge, and infused with a very light phenolic note and the spiciness of the yeast. Some fruitiness is present but it's not bold (apple, dried apricot). A firm bitterness helps to balance it, but the spiciness does most of the work. It finishes dry, lingering in the mouth with a whole lot of spiciness, no doubt due at least in part to the 9 % abv.
Overall it's a decent beer that's well-made (the alcohol is well-cloaked) and fairly complex. Worth trying.

Pours a cloudy rather dirty gold color with a thin weak head but nice lacing. The smell is a bit of a musty/yeasty citrus and apricot. The first sip was surprisingly malty, much more so than I expected. At first this was a bit off putting. However the second sip the hops came through and it was definitely more well balanced. Despite the thin head it has enough carbonation to let you know it's there without blasting you with fireworks. Nice sour notes on the back end. And nearing the bottom of the glass as my palette adjusted the bitterness of the hops yielded to more sweetness. I like it when a beer can put on a show like that! Generally speaking, Pike Brewery has not impressed me, but kept trying and I finally found one of their beers that I really liked. Monk's Uncle is delightful and definitely worth a try.

Thanks to my Dad for picking this up in Seattle. Poured a clear amber with a tall white head and lacing. The aroma is clove-heavy with a hint of bubblegum, though it's a touch rubbery at first. This beer can't get over all the clove phenol and expand into more flavors like a great tripel. As it warms, spicy hops come out in the finish, but it lacks depth. It's still tasty and very drinkable - no hint of booze - but there are better options.

Pours a hazy golden color with a thin white head that retains OK. The aroma has fruit and spice upfront, with notes of pineapple, mango, white pepper and corainder, along with candy sugar, and alcohol. The flavor has a honey sweetness upfront, along with some spices (white pepper, clove, corriander), as well as some fruit (apple, pear, white grape), alcohol and fruity esters. The mouthfeel is moderate and drinkability is decent. Pretty solid tripel here, not spectacular but no major flaws.

Poured from a bomber, nice straw color with a 1" head on a violent pour and after a few minutes the head was reduced to a thin white halo that didn't really lace the glass. Floral, yeast smell typical of a belgian. A floral alcohol taste with bread, malt, and a little lingering kick at the end. I was worried about some of the earlier reviews, but was plesantly suprised, especially for the price of $4.50 per bomber- a steal in my book.

Emerging markets are still showing interest in new tablets, but that isn't enough to sustain IDC's prior forecast for this year.
Market researcher revises its prediction for global PC shipments in 2014, but it still expects a decline.
The number of personal computers worldwide is expected to drop 6 percent this year, according to a study published Tuesday.
Increasing demand for big-screen smartphones means tablet sales could be lower than expected, says research firm IDC.
Microsoft's mobile OS will surge, after a fashion, amid slower growth for the smartphone industry as a whole, predicts research firm IDC.
Apple will hold onto to a "value edge" in 2014, but Android's ecosystem is poised to make big gains, according to IDC.
Apple is still the No. 1 tablet vendor, but its Android counterparts are really the ones pushing market growth, a new study shows.
But analysts warn that their report shouldn't be construed as a comeback for the global PC industry.
The research firm says tablet shipments should remain weak in the current quarter but pick up in the last three months of the year.
The uptake of Windows 8 is hampered by a completely saturated U.S. PC market and corporate upgrades to Windows 7, says author of IDC study.

Five Ten Anasazi Lace-Up
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I have the old pink version. Extremely precise shoe…
I have the old pink version.
Extremely precise shoe with very sticky rubber. Excels on very small footholds but not only.
They are not comfortable, so shouldn't be normally used in multi-pitch routes. I have 1/2 size down compared to street size.
I find these shoes superior to other models I tried. So I imagine the current Anasazi Blanco is only better than the pink one. Maybe improved on the comfort side also.
This shoe is the ferrari of 5.10. Along with the Anasazi…
Materials: Stealth C4 rubber, lined leather
Use: excells at hard, steep terrain
Break-in Period: 2 routes
Price Paid: $135
This shoe is the ferrari of 5.10. Along with the Anasazi velcro version, these two shoes dominate in terms of precision. I prefer the lace-up as it stays on my foot better when heel hooking. The lined leather insures minimum stretch, and the toebox is very aggressive, though not downturned. Combined with stealth rubber, these shoes are about as high performance as shoes get.
Size down 1/2 - 1 full size for a tight, bouldery fit. I have used two pairs so far, the same size as my street shoe (10.5) and find them very precise, yet comfortable enough for a few pitches in a row or a lengthy bouldering session. They are excellent in cracks as well, but not if your toes are curled and squished! Entirely worth the price.
This is an excellent shoe, but is not suggested for…
Use: short or long climbs and bouldering (no hiking!)
Break-in Period: Several weeks - dependent on how often you climb.
Weight: Unsure - VERY light, comparatively
Price Paid: $72.18
This is an excellent shoe, but is not suggested for beginners. I have had this shoe a bit now and know, and know: they hurt. I wear a size 10.5 street shoe, and I have these in 9.5, so that of course factors in, but regardless... The shoe is very good for heel hooking, smearing, anything you could imagine, but by the end of the climb you will be desperately trying to unlace them. If you simply unlace them, with half of your foot in, it is still a very good shoe, and equivalent to a beginner's shoe perhaps.
Overall, the shoe is a very good one; however, the downside is the pain.

Here's what other sites are saying:
The Five Ten Anasazi Lace-up Climbing Shoe handles dime edges and technical climbs with powerful precision, and its pink color lets you send in style. Five Ten made this Anasazi's upper out of Cowdura to fit your foot like a glove, and the synthetic midsole reduces stretching for excellent longevity. Super hard Stealth C4 rubber sticks to imaginary edges so you can smear up nubbins without a problem, and its strength means you won't have to get a resole for a long time. Five Ten also updated this shoe with a rubber toe rand for an increased lifetime and a narrower heel to fit the female foot better. Its flat profile makes this shoe perfect for vertical and very technical routes.

This route is on Jailhouse proper. It is just left of Armed Robbery, the excellent, water polished crack climb. Climb steep rock past bolt to a midway point where it is possible to place small nuts and tcu. Crux is climbing above gear past some awkward and balancey moves.
Light rack with good selection of TCUs.
