(01/02/13) - Most of us think about sports injuries when it comes to
concussions, and that is certainly the cause of a great number of them. There
are actually a lot of myths about concussions, myths that could put you or your
child at risk.
Hollie Byer has suffered four concussions over the course of her youth soccer career. "I remember just feeling so nauseous after the game."
The injuries have worried her mom, Anita. "I think about it even before she goes on the field, the night before she goes on the field."
One big myth about concussions is that you have to lose consciousness.
"That's not true at all. You don't even have to hit your head to have a concussion," says Dr. Kevin Crutchfield of LifeBridge Health Clinic in Maryland.
The next big concussion myth is a doosey: if someone has a concussion, you should keep them awake. In fact, sleeping, or resting the brain, is best for healing.
Crutchfield says another misnomer is that everyone who suffers a blow to the heard needs a brain scan.
In fact, he says, for kids, radiation from a scan can be more dangerous than a head injury. "Their risk of having a surgical lesion and having to go to the O.R. is dramatically less than your child developing thyroid cancer from the exposure to radiation."
You may also think a helmet will help prevent a concussion, but that is not true, either. They are actually designed only to prevent skull fractures.
"A helmet can never stop the brain from shaking inside the head," Dr. Crutchfield says.
The last myth: boys get more concussions than girls. Actually, the rates are similar among the sexes. But symptoms may vary. Boys tend to experience things like balance problems, while girls suffer fatigue or low energy after a concussion.
Hollie knows the dangers, but she can't stay away from the game she loves. "I'm not really afraid to be out on that field because I think that's where I was meant to be."
Football is the riskiest sport for concussions among males, while soccer is the riskiest among females. Seventy-eight percent of concussions occur during games, as opposed to at practices.
There are no hard and fast rules about how many concussions are too many, but the American Academy of Neurology recommends suspending an athlete's sports season if they suffer three concussions within that season. Some studies point to high long-term risks of cumulative brain damage from multiple concussions.

Background screens will sometimes return results that make a prospective employer hesitate in hiring or continuing to employ the applicant. These results should not necessarily disqualify someone from employment.
Criminal Histories:We recently reported on the risk of disparate impact when disqualifying applicants based on criminal history. Additionally, employers should not assume that someone committed a crime based solely on an arrest record. Many court systems store records based on name and birthdate (not social security number), so someone who happens to have the same information could mistakenly appear on the report. If there was indeed a conviction, employers should consider its nature and seriousness, how long ago it happened, and if it would have an impact on job performance.
Credit Histories:In the current economy, employers should weigh the types of debts listed and if they may be caused by a job loss, high medical bills, or even stolen identity. Occasionally, people fall on hard times and it affects their personal finances, but not necessarily the ability to perform their jobs. Personal bankruptcy should similarly not be an automatic disqualifier from the position. Employees have a number of rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Employers should be familiar with those rights prior to denying someone employment based on his or her credit report.
Of course, there are people for whom background screening results should serve as a red flag. Nextep's HR Professionals review results and coach employers on a case-by-case basis to handle FCRA compliance and the next recommended steps.

Disclosing Limits of Confidentiality
Navigating the balance between confidentiality and abuse reporting requirements is the fundamental challenge when addressing IPV. Laws requiring mandatory reporting of child abuse perpetrated by a parent or caregiver are often clear. However, laws vary widely from state to state for adolescents when it comes to sexual or physical abuse by a partner. As a provider, it is critical to understand the state's minor consent and confidentiality, physical and sexual abuse laws (and in some state, statutory rape laws), and that you are able to clearly articulate them to your patients.
Make sure that you have accurate, up-to-date information about reporting laws for your state, and disclose limits of confidentiality prior to screening.
Because simply providing anticipatory guidance about healthy relationships can trigger a positive disclosure of abuse or other situation that requires a report to law enforcement or child welfare, it is essential that the limits of confidentiality are reviewed with all patients prior to any anticipatory guidance about healthy relationships or direct assessment for ARA.

Lake District Farmer creates giant horse and rider in honour of Olympics
Graham Wadsworth has created the image of a giant horse rider leaping over a jump in honour of Great Britain's equestrian team which are tipped to win Gold.
The special design at Raines Hall Farm, Sedgwick, near Kendal, was plotted using GPS. It took a day-and-a-half to do with Mr Wadsworth walking the 3.5 miles of its design and carving it with a lawnmower and a hand-strimmer.
The horse and rider are leaping a real dry stone wall. The horse measures a massive 200 metres x 100 metres, and the rider 80 metres by 60 metres.
Every summer the farm becomes "the Lakeland Maize Maze,"; welcoming over 20,000 visitors and from this Saturday, families will be able to walk around the giant horse design as a "Maize Maze," using quiz boards, clues and bridges to find their way to its centre.
With it being Olympic year and Great Britain standing a good chance for gold in Equestrian events, we thought we'd pay our own special tribute. We're a long way from the Olympics here but we'll be rooting for team GB like the rest of the country.
Last year, the farm won Best Maize Maze tourist attraction in the UK title awarded by the official Maize Maze Association.
The maize will stay until October when it has reached such a height that it has to be harvested and made into silage for a local dairy farmer.

IN an attempt to feed her "addiction", Orange runner Libby Burrell won't be mucking around in tomorrow's Colour City Running Festival half marathon.
While Burrell conceded she isn't in the race to win it, she certainly has a competitive appetite worthy of a front runner.
"My main goal is not to be taken next door [to Orange hospital] halfway through," she laughed.
"I want to finish in under two and a half hours. It won't be anywhere near the leaders, but finishing is my goal."
Burrell explained Sunday is the latest of "personal challenges" running has afforded her.
"It is all a new challenge for me," she said.
"I honestly just got on the treadmill one day and thought I'd see what happened. Then I started running outside, when I first did a run around an oval I was buggered after one lap. It was only 400 metres."
Burrell said after seeing steady improvement, she was hooked.
"I always hated running, I just didn't see the point," she said.
"But after I moved up to two laps of the oval, then three, then four it became addictive. The furthest I've run now is 19 kilometres. It is also a great way to think, for me. You're by yourself in those distances and if you don't learn to enjoy your own company all you think about is how much you want your legs to fall off."
The half marathon is run over 21.1 kilometres, and Burrell said neither the extra distance or the reportedly "very quick" field is a deterrent.
"The extra two kilometres might tack an extra hour onto my time," she laughed.
"It's my newest challenge. I've never run this far and I want to see if I can do it."
The half marathon, and the marathon, start at 6.30am at Bloomfield.

I have decided to try and go around to every NFL blog on SB Nation, posting a Q&A section for 1 day to answer the questions any team's fans might have regarding the Oakland Raiders or just my opinion on their teams. I'm fairly unbiased and am well-rounded when it comes to knowledge of the other teams of the NFL.
I decided to use Mile High Report as my first visit for several reasons. I've been here before and was a decently frequent reader for quite a while. This is a great community of great football minds and I find it hard to hate you Broncos fans (other Broncos fans it's not so hard). Overall, you're a very unbiased group and a very knowledgeable group.
Checking from the comment amounts on your fanposts, I will try to answer as many questions as I can but I can't guarantee all will be answered. I'll be on answering questions at 8:00 Eastern Time since I live in West Virginia. So calculate that time for your respective area and be back here for the KA1Z3R Q&A.

Murder on Lexington Avenue (Gaslight Mystery) (edition 2010)

Murder on Lexington Avenue by Victoria Thompson
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this installment Sarah and Frank need to solve the murder of a man. His daughter is deaf and is happy that her father is dead since he did not allow her to learn sign language. She is in love with one of the teachers at the school for the deaf that Frank's son Brian attends. The wife of the murdered man gives birth to her lover's child in the beginning and all those pieces intertwine to make this a very good read.
It took me a few Anne Perry and Victoria Thompson novels to discover that the term 'mystery' has changed from how it was used let's say 10 to 20 years ago. Most readers might still associated a mystery novel with a puzzle and with sleuthing, but those terms rarely apply anymore to modern mysteries. Anne Perry is one of many contemporary authors who writes historical fiction with a romantic inclination, which is probably a better label than mystery. Granted, the reader does not know until the very end who has committed the heinous crime, but then again the reveal is most of the time arrived at by the culprit confessing without provocation and regularly without convincing motivation. You could say: with enough time and social pressure the murderer will eventually show him or herself without the need for evidence. Rarely in these novels is there actual hard evidence linking the crime to the crimee.
Traditionally in the context of a murder mystery there are a number of suspects each with the appropriate motivation as to why they wanted to snuff the life out of the poor victim. At the end of the story a sleuth or consulting detective explains why only one of the suspects could have actually committed the crime and why the rest of the bunch are not eligible for the title of murderer, no matter how much they desired that tribute.
In an Anne Perry novel the mechanism is reversed, we now have a number of suspects each of which was potentially at the proper place (one will never know) with the right intentions and correct means, but physical evidence and eyewitness reports don't matter that much. The one who has the best motive wins, it's that simple. Instead of the traditional plotting of the author, sleuthing by the detective and puzzling by the readers, we now have novels where the mystery content revolves around veiled dramatic character interactions. Most of these interactions will mostly appeal only to female audiences and ironically portray a rather traditional domestic picture and gender role division.
From a historical perspective there is much to be found and experienced. Authors like Anne Perry, Victoria Thompson and Caleb Carr to name just a few, are heavily invested in accurate depictions and appropriately original detail. Reading an Anne Perry is just as much an immersive trip into Victorian Times as it is an ongoing daytime television saga. Readers aren't really invested in an Anne Perry for the story, but for the endless almost but not quite amorous interactions between Charlotte and Thomas. For a Victoria Thompson novel you can swap out Frank and Sarah, everything else stays the same.
If you like a trip into a complete and convincing Victorian world with lots of interesting drama and elaborate character interactions through dialog, then you're in for a treat. If you're looking for an Agatha Christie mystery then I suggest you read an Agatha Christie.
When an avid supporter of the movement against ASL (and of eugenics) is found dead in his business office, Malloy has no shortage of suspects; his partner makes it immediately clear that no one who knew him liked him, his (deaf) daughter expresses satisfaction at the news, and countless motives begin to surface - including an unknown pregnancy, which brings Sarah Brandt into the picture.
As the series continues I believe it must be increasingly difficult for Thompson to conceive of situations in which a reputable midwife can find herself involved in a murder investigation, but I found this particular situation to be successful. Likewise, I enjoy the personal developments with which Thompson peppers his stories, although I maintain that she is a terrible terrible tease.
Victoria Thompson again brings to the table interesting historic information. This volume of the Gaslight series set in late 1800's of New York focuses on deaf individuals and the different schools catering to the deaf. The more popular school of that time believed in teaching the deaf person to read lips and to vocally speak. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, firmly believed this to be the only route to follow. Bell also believed that deaf people should not marry another deaf person, and even believed that the deaf should not marry or should not have children. The other school followed a different avenue and taught the deaf individual a sign language. The sign language teaching met many obstacles, and was almost abandoned or derailed. The discovery of the murderer was not as cleverly done in this story as in prior stories, plus a few issues happened that were not resolved. Still, this is an interesting journey into New York society.
I love this series! This time the focus is on the wealthy family of a deaf teenage girl. The father is murdered and that starts Malloy's investigation. While at the house informing the widow of the murder, she goes into labor and this lets Malloy send for Sarah Brandt. Exciting ending with a twist.

After an influential man in the deaf community is murdered, Frank Malloy is assigned the case, presumably because his son attends the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. Malloy suspects the murderer is tied to the school, and turns to midwife Sarah Brandt for help.… (more)

Having allowed six goals against on opening night, the start of the 2013-14 season was not pleasant for the Anaheim Ducks. Facing the upstart Colorado Avalanche -- who were considered a lock for the draft lottery -- the Ducks were held without a goal for 59:53 until Jakob Silfverberg ended Semyon Varlamov's shutout bid.
After such a dismal performance against a seemingly inferior opponent, Anaheim could have fallen into an early season funk. However, it didn't play out that way as the Ducks recorded seven-consecutive victories and outscored opponents, 28-13 over their next seven games.
The club will attempt to make it eight-straight as they challenge the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday night.
Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf both enter the contest with nine points, which was substantially augmented following Sunday's game against the Dallas Stars, where Getzlaf recorded four points (goal, three assists) and Perry picked up three points (two goals, an assist). Getzlaf currently leads the Ducks in assists with six, while Perry leads the team in goals with five. This is the kind of production Anaheim management expected after signing the players to maximum-term, eight-year contracts last season.
In addition, the Ducks have received ample production from Mathieu Perreault who was acquired in training camp via trade with the Washington Capitals for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft and an AHL player. Perreault enters Tuesday night with eight points (three goals, five assists), which ranks third behind Getzlaf and Perry (he is also on a three-game point streak).
Perreault isn't the only offseason acquisition producing, as Silfverberg has registered six points and is second on the team in goals (four) behind only Perry. Silfverberg was a primary piece in the trade that sent Bobby Ryan to the Ottawa Senators and has helped fill the void that could have been left by the four-time 30-goal scorer.
And of course, Teemu Selanne has opened his final season with six points (three goals, three assists) in seven games.
The Maple Leafs will enter the contest with the intention of ending the Ducks' streak, in addition to ending a streak of their own. The club has lost two-straight, which began after a bad bounce beat Jonathan Bernier against the Carolina Hurricanes. Coming off a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night, the Maple Leafs will attempt to return to their winning ways.
A point of emphasis for Toronto has been turnovers, as the club has been credited with 134 giveaways, according to NHL.com, which is the most in the league. In addition, the team is being outshot 320-245, which many believe will cause problems in the longterm if not corrected.
Tuesday night's game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET.

After being , Gilroy Interim Fire Chief Roger Bloom resigned from his position on Monday.
Gilroy City Administrator Tom Haglund confirmed the resignation to Gilroy Patch Monday afternoon and said he is now in the process of assessing the timeline of the next hire for the position of fire chief.
While the hiring process must start anew due to Bloom's misconduct, Haglund said there was no flaw in the onboarding in July when Bloom began as chief.
"The hiring process the first time around — we couldn't see into the future to see something like this. It's definitely very unfortunate," Haglund said. "In the first round we conduct a background check. There was nothing in Chief Bloom's background of any sort of law enforcement nature that concerned us."
Bloom came to Gilroy after 25 years as a firefighter and chief in Palo Alto, Haglund said. And while he spoke highly of his track record managing fire, Haglund said Bloom's actions on Friday are unacceptable of city employees.
"I have no idea why he would have done something like this," Haglund said. "But nonetheless, that type of activity is incosistent of someone holding the position of fire chief in the city of Gilroy. It's inconsistent with my expectations of department heads, managers and employees of the city of Gilroy."

For those wondering what Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels may bring to his next job as a public university president, it may be helpful to consider the details of a story he tells about window washers.
Twenty years ago Daniels, then a corporate executive, was head of a commission assigned to figure out how to make Indianapolis city government operate more efficiently. Among the many questions the commission asked was why the windows on the city-county building were being washed weekly — much more frequently than nearby similar structures owned by private companies.
The answer: It wasn't because the windows were so dirty, but because the city had four window-washers on its payroll and had to do something to keep them busy.
"This is the power of the tiny example," said Daniels during a break from cleaning out the Statehouse office he'll vacate within days.
The commission's findings triggered sweeping changes in the delivery of city services — including many that were contracted out to private companies — and resulted in a 40 percent reduction of city employees and about $230 million in savings.
That experience came after Daniels had intimate exposure to both local and federal government experience that ranged from working for Richard Lugar, when the now-retired U.S. senator was Indianapolis mayor in the early 1970s, to working for Ronald Reagan in the White House before becoming President George W. Bush's budget chief.
Experiences, coupled with his years as a top executive at the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co., that helped shape the views that Daniels brought to his eight years as Indiana governor.
"I developed along the way some sense that government, absent results-oriented management, absent the transplanted accountability (of the private sector) would just drift on…." Daniels said. "It was 'Well, we've got four people, so I guess we'll just wash (the windows) once a week, even though they don't need it.' "
Daniels isn't ready to say much about whether there are too many window-washers, or other inefficiencies, at his next place of work: Purdue University.
"We'll just have to wait and see," said Daniels, diplomatically, before noting Ohio State University's recent decision to lease out its parking lots to private investors to operate for the next 50 years, in return for a lump payment of $483 million.
That deal, one of the first of its kind at a large university, is a lot like the deal that Daniels made in 2006, after he took office the year before as Indiana's first Republican governor in 16 years.
Daniels' decision to lease the money-losing Indiana Toll Road to private investors for $3.8 billion was part of a series of decisions he made to turn over a wide range of public services — from prison food to welfare payments — to private entities. In 2007, the New York Times dubbed him "Governor Privatize."
The label has stuck, but Daniels argues it's a misnomer. Much of what he's done, from consolidating procurement across state agencies to selling off a fleet of unused state vehicles, was about making government more efficient, he said.
"I can't get it through the thick heads of some people," Daniels said. "They want to talk about privatization. I say, 'You got the wrong p word. The p word we use is practical.'"
Daniels said his mission when he took office eight years ago, wasn't to make the state government smaller — though he has, by reducing state personnel rolls to where they were in 1970s.
His mission, he said, was to make state government better, faster and cheaper.
He's earned some sharp criticism for how he's done that.
Labor leaders howled in protest when he ended collective bargaining for state employees and put performance-pay measures into place. Teachers and school administrators reacted angrily when he cut education spending to help balance the budget. Former Democrat House Speaker Pat Bauer called the toll road lease "a very, very bad deal," and state legislators in his own party were among his toughest critics when efforts to privatize the state's cumbersome welfare system went awry.
Daniels said there's room for argument about how to make government better, faster and cheaper. But there should be no argument about the goal.
"If you're a believer in limited government as I am, you should think that the sphere of its activity is limited and government shouldn't get outside it," Daniels said. "But inside it, you should be really determined…that every dollar be well-spent.
"And, on other hand, if you believe in a large and very active government, I would think you'd be the most offended of all if it's botching the job and wasting money, because then it's failing to serve people. You also should want every dollar spent well."
Too often, he argues, ideologues on both sides fall short. "Too many in the first group stop when they think they've limited the government," Daniels said. "And the second group acts like they don't care at all if government is ridiculously wasteful and inefficient."
When Daniels took office, he inherited an $800 million deficit and eight previous years of unbalanced budgets. As Daniels is wrapping up his final days in office, Indiana has a $1 billion surplus.
"The good news is government can shoot straight," Daniels said, adding: "But it is not the natural order of things."

I just read in the Post that Bruce Allen says Skins are gonna "be active in free agency."
A certain degree of trepidation is appropriate, considering how utterly we've failed in the past when splurging on FAs (Fat Al, Randle El, Archuleta).
But given our dearth of picks, our talent-thin roster and considering that since Allen has arrived, we've scored on at least a few of our acquisitions (Garcon, Cofield, Wilson), there is some reason to be optimistic and excited.
*side note: Garcon should absolutely have been a pro-bowler this year, led the entire friggin' league in receptions!
Now that we are done with the cap-hit plague, there are some enticing FA options available, let's start with Defense...
Jarius Byrd - Safety
We to relegate Doughty to special ASAP! He shouldn't start for us, or anyone else for that matter, he is a good locker room guy and good depth player to keep around, but he simply has no business being a starter. Safety is a top priority for the Skins and Byrd is not only the best available, he is one of the best safeties in the league. Period. We should do whatever we can to bring him aboard and pair him with head-hunter Merriweather until Philip Thomas heals and learns the ropes.
Chris Harris - Corner
Has proven his worth as a quality starter on the Broncos the past couple seasons. Deangelo is still capable of matching up with any WR in the league, but its not consistently that way anymore - he's getting old and getting beat on too many big plays. He's ripe to be replaced at starter and assume nickleback duties should the Redskins even decide to bring him back (he is currently not under contract).
Michael Bennett - LB/DE
A talented athlete whose versatility the Skins desperately need at two critically deficient positions. Further, he comes from Seattle, and the hope would be he brings some of that winning culture and swagger with him. We could benefit greatly from his services.
What do you think? Discuss.

Some random thoughts coming off the weekend action around the world:
1987 is hailed as a golden year in French football. It was the year that Karim Benzema was born, as was Samir Nasri, Jeremy Menez and Hatem Ben Arfa. These players made up the squad that won the 2004 U-17 European Championship, beating Cesc Fabregas's Spain 2-1 in the final (it was Nasri that scored the winner).
When Didier Deschamps was appointed coach of Marseille in summer 2009, the first thing he did was rebuild the team's defense. The central-defensive partnership that had started the previous season, Vitorino Hilton and El-Amin Erbate, had flopped big-time and potentially cost Marseille the league title: it finished only three points behind champions Bordeaux, who clinched the trophy on the final day of the season.
Claude Puel has been Lyon coach for almost three years, and the jury is still out. Puel was appointed after Lyon's unprecedented dominance of Ligue 1 resulted in seven straight titles, but the club has not yet won a trophy under him. It did, however, reach the Champions League semifinals last year for the first time in its history.
Bordeaux broke a French top-flight record when it won the league title in 2008-09, winning its last 11 games to jump four places and overturn a six-point deficit. At the time, it was as though a perfect storm had descended over Les Girondins. Stats later showed that no team that season scored more goals from headers (22), from set-piece moves (25, nine from corners), from substitutes (10) or by coming from behind (23 points).
It's been over two months since France's players went on strike during the World Cup in protest of the French football federation's decision to send home striker Nicolas Anelka, but it might as well have been yesterday given the mess the team faces as its Euro 2012 qualifying campaign gets under way.
Lyon have reached agreement with French league rivals Bordeaux to sign French international playmaker Yoann Gourcuff for a fee of 22 million euros.
Arsenal have signed Moroccan international striker Marouane Chamakh from Bordeaux on a free transfer.
Lyon coach Claude Puel is confident that his team can cause an upset in their European Champions League semifinal first leg against German giants Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich produced a spirited fight back to knock 10-man Manchester United out of Europe's Champions League and set up a semifinal against Lyon.
Bayern Munich scored in injury-time to defeat Manchester United 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, while Lyon beat their French rivals Bordeaux 3-1.
Lionel Messi underlined his status as the best player in the world with two inspirational goals and an assist as holders Barcelona cruised into the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a 4-0 victory at home to Stuttgart on Wednesday night.
Arjen Robben proved the difference for the second time in four days as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Freiburg 2-1 to leapfrog Schalke at the top of the Bundesliga.
David Beckham admits he has mixed feelings ahead of the first leg of AC Milan's Champions League last-16 clash with Manchester United, the club where he made his name as a sporting superstar.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a month intended to increase awareness of the negative effects of sexual assault (particularly on college campuses) and to increase the support base for survivors of sexual assault and violence. April is a very busy month for most organizations, including SPARKS, so here are some events we are hosting for the rest of the month, as well as a few other important events!
- Wednesday, April 16 – TAKE BACK THE NIGHT: A march against sexual violence begins at 6PM in the Academic Pavilion Amphitheater. Hundreds of people gather to hold posters and march in protest of the sexual violence that takes place on college campuses. At 6:30 there will be food and tabling in front of Whitley (rain location is West Parlor). At 7:00 the Survivor Speak-out will take place in Whitley, where survivors of sexual assault are encouraged to come share their stories in a safe environment.
- Thursday April 17th – Party Smart events hosted by SPARKS 5-7 PM and 7:30-9:30 PM in McEwen Dining Hall.
- Friday April 18th – AWARE FAIR in the Speaker's Corner from 2-4PM.
- The Clothesline Project is taking place from Monday April 14-Friday April 18. From 8AM to 5PM, shirts will be hung in the speakers corner in protest against sexual violence. More information about the Clothesline Project can be found here.
- Tuesday, April 22nd – Harlan Cohen (author of "Getting Naked: 5 Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life (while fully clothed and totally sober)" and "The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You May Run Into In College" will be speaking at 7:30 PM in Lakeside 214.

SPARKS would also like to congratulate EFFECT (Elon Feminists) on their very successful "Supporting Survivors Week" and Walk Against Victim Blaming. We are so excited to see so many students contributing to the movement to prevent sexual assault and create an environment in which survivors feel comfortable coming forward, sharing their stories, and seeking the support they deserve.


text: this gives you the inside scoop. Metallica fans will love it because it's got it all – behind the scenes footage, interviews, recording sessions, and concert footage. But anybody who's ever wanted to live the rock & roll life (and do it successfully) will get a great insight into how much hard work it takes. The first half of the DVD covering the recording of the "Black Album" is worth the price alone. After seeing this, you'll know what it's really like to be in the studio and how gruelling it can be. No wonder Lars has an attitude about people ripping their songs of the internet! The concert footage is awesome – it's what you'd expect from Metallica. These guys are talented musicians, cool dudes, and funny. As always, Metallica gives you your money's worth – this is a long DVD. I suggest watching it over a 2-night period to attain maximum absorbtion. Buy it. Watch it. Crank it Loud, and Rock On!

I just had our 4th baby Sept 30th idk if its because its postpartum depression or what but one moment I'm happy one moment I don't want to be with him usually I'm the one whom works and he watches the kids and he finally got a job last week works from 5am to 5pm M-F which is great but sucks I'm so use to him being home with me but what bothers me is that when i worked M-F 7-5 I use to come home and want to spend time with him because I missed him but he wouldn't want to and say he's just tired of being home with the kids all day well now that he works he comes home cares more about feeding his sisters stupid lizard all the damn time he doesn't help me with the baby which makes me sad because he doesn't spend time with her he cares more about a damn lizard and makes time to feed it other then spending time with me for the last 2yrs 1/2 our sex life has SUCKED he never wants to have sex I am VERY unhappy with our sex life I've told him so many times but nothings changed I know he loves me so much and he's family but a part of me isn't happy idk what to do how would you ladies feel in this situation what would you do? I know this is bad but I keep getting the urge to contact an ex of mine just to talk because he always makes me feel important unlike my husband makes me feel unwanted and lowers my self esteem because of our sex life.... Does this sound real or could it be my hormones?
Quoting Mary J. Rodriguez:" I just had our 4th baby Sept 30th idk if its because its postpartum depression or what but one moment ... [snip!] ... makes me feel unwanted and lowers my self esteem because of our sex life.... Does this sound real or could it be my hormones?"
It's understandable that you're upset. DO NOT go finding comfort in your ex though. That just has trouble written all over it. Talk to your husband. If you feel like maybe there is more going on, talk to your OB/GYN about it. They can point you in the right direction if you do in fact have PPD. Ask your husband why he's not interested in sex. Maybe he's stressed because of his new job and his new role as breadwinner. It may have absolutely nothing to do with you. Men's sex drives can be affected by a number of factors, just like ours. Good luck.
But it cant be because he works he's been like this for 2yrs 1/2 I always ask him why he never wants to and he tells me that I expect him to jump on it and that's not how it works that he needs to be in the mood and I try I touch him start kissing him but he stops me so how the hell am I suppose to get him in the mood of he doesn't let me
Baby girl this sucks. I was in this situation at one time but I was in his role. I was going through things within myself. Feeling disappointed in the direction i was going in life things lije that. I also felt like i was settling for less with him and I just didnt want to be touched by him. Let alone have sex. It caused so many issues and it went on for a long time. I mean i will defiantly say NO to the ex reach out. Just talk to him. Ask is he not happy? How did he feel about your last pregnancy. Your going on almost 3 years of this, there had to be something to it. Wishing you some answers because your not happy, he seems Moody, unhappy mommy is un happy house hold you know.
Try to find out why he is acting like this and discuss how unhappy you are. Maybe arrange a date night for you both with no kids at least once a month.
I was at the same point and considered talking to an old friend who had feelings for me but decided against it - yeah I'd have probably felt better for a little while but the problems would still be there with my husband and I.
Also, try to get a girls night out once in a while with you and your friends - staying at home all day with kids is not easy 24/7.

They wax it. Fry it. Zap it. Anything to get rid of it.
"For the summer you know, you're going to the beach, you want to have everything as smooth as possible," said Jessica Gordon who has unwanted hair. That's why Jessica decided to wax. And for her, the price is right. Waxing her arms costs about fourtyfive dollars. And guys aren't shy about waxing anymore. At the Body Klinic, men get their backs and even bikini areas done.
"You want to do it every month for at least three months because the hair grows in stages," said Michael Frey with The Body Klinic. But if you can afford more and you want to keep the hair away longer, lasering is a good option. "No woman wants their man to have hair on their back," said John Parr who has unwanted hair. John had his back hair lasered off for about sixteen hundred dollars.
Laser Surgeon Eric Bernstein says the laser will dramatically reduce hair. "To keep it at zero, people usually come for maintenance and that's after two or three treatments upfront. Maintenance can be from every six months to every three years," said Dr. Bernstein. Women can laser their underarms, legs and bikini area. and the trend for men is to lose the chest hair. "Because the hair on your body hides the definition of your muscles."
But if you never, ever want to see the hair again, consider Electrolysis. "We actually go in and destroy the germinative portion of the hair follicle. So the hair will never re-grow," said michele stanley, Electrolysis Clinic Manager. And Electrolysis may be best for African-Americans and those who suffer from Pseudofolliculitis or ingrown hair. "You don't have to worry about shaving it or doing anything, ever again," said Georgie Becke, Electrolysis client.
Pick your treatment, to be bare of hair.

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — Brittany Addison has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a girl can earn in Girl Scouting. Her project addressed girls having a problem passing the final biology exam, according to Deana Potterf, Girl Scouts of Central Indiana chief communications officer.
Addison created a Biology Tutoring Club and held two to three meetings a week that had about five students. "I really wanted to increase student's biology grades and help them pass the End Course Assessments," she said.
With the small amount of students attending the meetings, the teacher who had been assisting Addison instructed students who were struggling with their biology classes to attend one meeting each week. "I also had announcements sent to get the word out to let students know about the meetings.
"I developed better planning and management skills because I had to keep track of all my hours and plan the meetings to coordinate with the two biology teachers and what they were teaching that week. At the end of the year, the teacher told me the students did very well on their ECA tests and only a few did not pass."
The Batesville High School senior has spoken with several new students, and if they are struggling, they must now attend a biology tutoring session during their study hall class. "Even though I am no longer able to do the Biology Tutoring Club, I think my club inspired the teachers to continue to help their students pass the ECA and help them graduate high school and biology," she pointed out.
Addison lives in Peppertown, and her parents are Karen Addison and David Addison. The advisors for her project were Connie Miller and Kay Tincher.
She plans to attend Indiana University, Bloomington, and study informatics, be involved in technology and become a director for movies and music videos.

Keen shoes run a half size small. Most customers size up for an appropriate fit.
Keen Sizing Chart
4.7 out of 5

Hard to Fit
May 06, 2010
I am having a hard time trying to get the right fit with this brand. I love the shoe but one size is too small/the other too big. I have returned my second pair because of fit. Maybe third time will be a charm?
Great lightweight hiker
February 14, 2010
I bought these for summer hiking and have not been disappointed. Much comfier than an ankle high boot. I can wear them all day without blisters.
Love this shoe
August 02, 2010
Fits great, like other Keens do. Super comfortable and great for hiking or everyday. Love the color and style. My new favorite shoe!
cool shoe, just not for me
October 13, 2009
For me, my heel kept slipping with every step, even when I doubled my socks. The shoe fit in the toe area, but the overall fit was disappointing. I really wish it would have worked, because it was a nice looking shoe and seemed rugged, trail ready, and comfortable.
Exactly as advertised
September 14, 2009
This was the first time I've ordered from Altrec.com and am very happy with my experience. I received my shoes within a couple days and they were exactly as advertised. This is my second pair of Keens and I absolutely love them. Great for people with a little wider foot.
Durable hiking shoe, great foot support
December 21, 2009
This is my second pair of Keen Targhee II shoes, I hiked all over Italy with my first pair and they still held up long after the trip! Great heel support, good for long walks and hikes, good cushion and the shoes are not too heavy. Definitely order 1/2 size up for a good fit.
comfortable, durable, terrific traction and foot support
December 25, 2009
this is my fourth pair of Keens and each one is better than the last. Will not buy any other walking shoe.
awesome shoe
February 21, 2010
I have foot and heel pain and this is the most comfortable shoe I've found to get my daily 10,000 steps
Great Shoe - love them
January 04, 2010
I had a pair of these shoes that I bought last year but they always made my feet hurt after wearing them for an extended amount of time. They were so durable though (and Keen is such a great brand) I thought I would heed everyone else's suggestions and try a half size larger. I am so glad I did, these are the best shoes, waterproof, comfortable, blister free. Just remember to order a half size bigger than usual, even a half size larger than usual keen sizes.
Keen----What a great shoe!!!
March 14, 2010
Very comfortable shoe.Do get 1/2 size larger as mentioned,will definitely be buying more Keen products.
Great sturdy shoe
August 28, 2009
My boyfriend recently started to get me to go hiking with him and for a trip to Central America he told me to by a par of Keens. He said my feet would thank me for it... and they did. The shoes were comfortable and didn't need a break-in period. They are now my new favorite pair of shoes. I would definitely recommend them.
Altrec is great
December 06, 2009
Bought as a gift. Our daughter-in-law loves the Targhee II shoes for the comfort and durability. Ordering from Altrec has always been a pleasure and the people there are very courteous. I have even received a hand written thank you note from them in the past. Now that's customer service!
feels nice but dosent look appealing
April 29, 2010
I love how my Keens feel however they make my foot look big and according to my daughter she does not recommend wearing them with shorts or capris as they just dont look good with them.
Quality and comfort
December 15, 2009
My second pair of Keen hiking shoes. Perfect for every season. Highly recommended.
Very Comfortable, and light boots
March 29, 2010
I actually order 1 size up so I can wear thick socks (wool socks). I had 2 hikes over the weekend, total about 15 miles (1st time hiker), and my feet didn't hurt at all.
Very Comfortable
December 05, 2009
I loved this shoe but it ended up being too big and would slip off of my heal. I guess I need a smaller size or a higher backed model
Great service, great shoes
May 04, 2010
Very comfortable, right out of the box. I wore them on walks with the dog and running errands to help break them in a bit, which probably took less than 5 miles of walking. They are already the most comfortable shoes I own!
They are GREAT hiking shoes....the best I've ever worn.
May 02, 2010
They keep your feet dry. Also, there is plenty of toe room. I did buy a half size larger than normal, and they fit perfectly. I've just received my new pair from this website. They were shipped quickly.
Great Shoes! Recieve, Put on, and Go!
October 14, 2009
This was second pair of Targhee II's. So nice to be able to replace them and have the second pair fit as good as the first. No break-in required for me.
Best shoe I've tried
January 01, 2010
This is my second pair of Keen Targhee II shoes. I love them. I work at a nursery where I am constantly on my feet and walking many miles on concrete and through water, gravel, dirt and mud. I needed shoes that would hold up with everyday wear(longer than one season) in these conditions and keep my feet dry and comfy. I have tried MANY shoes(Vasque, Merrill, various running shoes). These provided much needed support and held up better than any other I have tried. In addition to work, I also wore them for hiking and in the snow. After about 10 months of everyday wear (and I mean everyday), the fabric around the laces started to come apart. However, the comfort was not compromised, only the waterproof quality. I still wore them for about 2 months until I saw they were on sale at Altrec. I HAD to buy another pair. I couldn't be more pleased. Sweet colors, too!
Size up!
December 28, 2009
was happy with the product and the shipping. Unfortunately didnt know that the product runs small and ordered the wrong size. Otherwise would have worked out well
Great boots
March 05, 2010
I ordered a half size larger and these were perfect right out of the box. I hike about 15 miles a week and have used them for over a year with no problem
targhee shoes
January 17, 2010
This site is great. The selection is outstanding. With the info provided and the available reviews, I was able to get the perfect shoes for me. Thanks Altrec.
Sturdy Shoe...Pretty Comfortable
September 07, 2009
Ordered this shoe because I was in a hurry for a day hiking shoe, and didn't have time to do much research. I've been really happy with the comfort and wear of all my Keen sandles. Overall, I think these hikers are great. Nice roomy toebox, great sturdy soles, they hit comfortably around the ankle, and give good support. My only complaint is there is just a little bit of slippage in the heel -- they could have narrowed that for most women, but I corrected this by wearing a thicker hiking sock and with that they are just fine. Overall, I'm very happy with them, and I definitely like how they look.
She loves them
August 01, 2010
I got these for my elderly mother and after many months of wear she absolutely loves these shoes. Especially the support they provide. She also says they help her back.
Women's Targhee II Shoe
June 18, 2010
Great shoe. Use mostly for walking, especially in wet weather. Always have dry feet. Bought Silver Cloud/Deep Sea color. - a little darker brown than appears on website.
search no more--this is your shoe
January 11, 2010
these shoes are awesome! the MOST comfortable hiking shoe i have ever owned, hands down. these are my first pair of keens although my boyfriend swears by them. they look great and feel fantastic, i've worn them every weekend hiking for the last two weeks and they are amazing. i heard i should by them a half size bigger, but i tried a pair on locally before buying them from Altrec (better price, free shipping fee, no tax) and got a size 9; usually i am between an 8.5 and a 9, and these fit great. i have a higher arch and a wider foot, so i was surprised that a 9 fit considering everyone said buy a half size bigger. bottom line- buy these shoes and try them on first, if you can.
Great shoe, great company to buy from
December 17, 2009
Great shoes! Within only a few days they've proven themselves to be my best winter shoe yet. In NH the temp is dropping quick and today at 8 degrees with a wind chill of who knows how low below zero my feet were TOASTY! Even running around campus, trudging through snow with the dog and plain walking around my feet were extremely comfortable, warm, and dry! Definitely get a half size up, they'll be comfy with thin or thick socks. Ordering from Altrec is a breeze - very legit, prompt, simple and clear. You can just be excited about your shoes, instead of worrying about if you'll actually get them. I'll be ordering from this company often as I can.
Great performing shoe
April 10, 2010
This is my second pair of Keen Targhee shoes. They are tough; good for all conditions (wet, dry, trail, cross country or bouldering.) The sizing on the Targhee is sometimes small; so a half size bigger might be best.
Great All-Arounder!
May 22, 2010
True to size, which is important for those of us with big feet! These Targhee II shoes are perfect for traveling around town, walking the dog and hikes!
Great Shoe for Outdoor Activity
September 21, 2009
I purchased these shoes to wear while walking my dog in the woods and fields. They are perfect -- lightweight but completely waterproof in the early morning dew. I admit that I wasn't sure about buying a shoe sight unseen over the internet but Altrec.com made it easy. I'm so happy that I took the chance and now have a great pair of shoes that I would never have been able to find in my local retail shops. A great shoe for the dog walker!
First Pair of Keens
September 17, 2009
This shoe is impressive. There is no breaking in period...you just put them on and go. I have worn them on a trail that provides wet conditions, gravel, roots and elevation changes. They are exactly as advertised and I would recommend them to anyone. The shoe tongue is a different design than I have worn before and very comfortable. It doesn't rub or irritate the top of my foot.. The shoe also allows my foot to expand when needed but provides the needed support. I did purchase 1/2 size larger and they fit fine.
All around great outdoor shoe!
May 13, 2010
First had these 2 summers ago and was ready for a new pair. I'm a dog walker and wear these a lot all year round, especially on wetter days to keep my feet dry. I put a lot of miles on the first pair and expect the same from my next.
quality as usual
December 01, 2009
This is my 5th pair of Keens. The wide toe is perfect for my foot. Love them.
Feels good right from the first time you put them on.
December 24, 2009
I just got my shoes a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. They are not quite as comfy as the Targhee II boot, but they are still a pass! I would like to see speed lacing on the top 2 holes. They look huge to me (yes, I ordered and needed a whole size larger than I normally wear) but my friends say they don't look that big.
June 14, 2010
I used these shoes for hiking in the desert during a trip for my grad program. One hike was extreme. These shoes felt good on my feet even after 6 hours of intense hiking over various ground. I have never had an issue with Keens size running small. I would recommend these for hiking!
Didn't need any
February 24, 2010
These are great shoes from Keen. I did prefer my snowboots from Keen. One cool feature is that the tongue of these shoes are connected to the rest of the shoe so dirt and rocks can't get in as easily. They are little short. Totally comfortable from the beginning. I would recommend them.
No dissapointments with this shoe
September 22, 2009
This is my second pair of Targhee II's. I wore the first pair for three years and put them through a lot...pretty much wore them daily. They are very comfortable but run a half size small so size up... trust me on this. I just bought a second pair for my daughter her's lasted also for three years with everyday wear. Another great Keen product.
Great shoes!
October 07, 2009
I've had several Keen's, and I'll keep coming back for more. They fit well and don't really require a 'break-in' period. Love 'em!! Plus--great, speedy service from Altrec.
I wanted to love it...
January 22, 2010
I really wanted to love this shoe, but my extra wide feet said otherwise. Although the toe-box was wider than most, it just wasn't wide enough. Bummer!
Great service
April 09, 2010
Order these and had them on my door step in 3 days, love the shoes
Great comfortable shoe!
May 10, 2010
I needed to return for half size bigger not figuring in my orthotics. Other than that great, comfy shoe.
Feels great right out of the box as usual!
September 24, 2009
I own a lot of Keens--sandals, thongs, street shoes for summer and winter--because I walk a lot and they are always comfortable. The same goes for my husband, who already had a pair of these and loved them. I feel the same about mine (I took others recommendations and ordered 1/2 size up--do it.)
Best overall shoe ever!
March 29, 2010
These shoes take about 2-3 days to break in, but after that they feel like a dream! I could walk in them for days on end without my feet feeling tired. The traction is fantastic, ran down a steep muddy hill and didn't slip once.
wrong size
May 11, 2010
The service from altrec was great as usual, but these shoes were unfortunately too big. I took everyone's advice and ordered a 1/2 size bigger, but my heels were slipping and the shoes just didn't feel right. I am returning these and have ordered the Genoa Peak WP shoes, because they apparently have a slightly narrower form for those of us with narrower feet. I sure hope they fit, because I really want some keens!
Love my new Keen's
October 05, 2009
This is my 5th pair of Keens and love them. Great for hiking and just your everyday activities. I tell everyone how great they are.. I order all my Keens from Altrec with their free shipping and easy ordering process , you have them in no time....
Love my Keens!!
August 31, 2010
This is my 2nd pair of Targhee II. I just wanted them in black too. Great shoes... they offer great arch support, waterproof and very comfortable to walk/hike in.
love these shoes
April 06, 2010
I love these shoes and wear them everyday and for hiking. I normally wear a wide 7 1/2 wide but with these shoes I can wear a 6 1/2 and my feet actually fit the shoe. I'm on my 4th pair. Love the waterproof feature, but you have to double knot the laces on some of the shoes.
Great Shoe/Good looking/durable
May 16, 2010
Very good looking comfortable hiking shoe. I have taken 7-8 hikes (@10miles each)and they are great. I feel like I am walking on air!
Geat Shoe
September 15, 2009
These shoes are great. They will be for my daughter for Christmas. She, my son, his whole family, and I all wear Keen shoes. Thank goodness we found them. They are great.
Absolutely great as usual
October 23, 2009
This is my 5th pair of Keen shoes and or sandals. As usual I am very pleased with them. Sizing was right on for me. I am on my feet all day, sometimes 16 hour shifts as an RN,up and down halls and standing passing meds. They are very comfortable and supportive. Everything I have come to expect from Keens.
Comfortable right out of the box
December 31, 2009
I own a number of different Keen sandals, but never purchased any shoes. As with all Keens, they are extremely comfortable and the quality is great. I did order a 1/2 size larger based on other reviews. I wanted to be able to wear them with heavier socks and they fit perfectly.
These shoes are great and worth every penny!
October 05, 2009
This is my 4th pair. I am on my feet all day and need a fair amount of arch support. I work outside, all weather conds., all temps. They are too warm for 60 degrees plus, but most of my work (standing or walking on asphalt) is between 20 and 60 degrees F, they are perfect! Weatherproof, feet don't get tired and they stay warm!!!
Comfortable, warm and cool
December 23, 2009
I loved my first pair of Keen's so much I bought another pair within a month. Great all around shoe, good for snow, keeps feet warm and dry, tread is stable and they're cute too! Followed the instructions to order a 1/2 size up and I'm very happy with my shoes.
Keen Targhee
February 20, 2010
The Keen Targhee 11 is a great shoe, and good style. I use them all the time for trekking in the Himalaya and they're the longest lasting trekking shoe I've owned. Good support and hold up well.
Great Shoe!
March 31, 2010
This is my forth pair of these shoes. I love them! They provide great stability and are comfortable and long-lasting.
stylish and great support
March 01, 2010
Started with Keen water shoes loved them and am even happier with these.
Great work shoe!
December 22, 2009
I am a manager at a humane society, and spend most of the day on my feet, walking dogs, cleaning and working with the public. The Keen Targhee's look great, are incredibly comfortable and so far, the bleach and other cleaning solvents that I work with haven't affected their appearance at all. I have a narrowish foot and they fit just fine, with room for thicker socks. They keep my feet dry and warm. I also ordered a pair of the Keen Voyageur's, which are more ventilated and will be my summer work and hiking shoes.
All day comfort!
November 09, 2009
I am a teacher so I am constantly on the lookout for comfortable shoes. These fit the bill! I will recommend these shoes to everyone I know.
Sturdy and comfortable shoe but run a bit small
May 24, 2010
Sturdy hiking shoe and confortable for all around wear. Seem to run a bit smaller than my 3 other pairs of Keen hiking shoes (different styles). I wore them on a 12 mile hike and they were great going up a steep rocky climb but coming down my toes were very sore from hitting the end. I haven't had that trouble in any of my other Keen shoes. I love the shoes; I'm ordering another pair 1/2 size larger.
teacher / registered nurse
December 29, 2009
I have purchased these shoes for my daughters who are on the feet everyday. They are the most comfortable shoes they have. I suggest them to anyone on their feet for a long time.
Consistently top quality
October 15, 2009
I must be on my tenth pair of Keen Targhee II shoes. I have hiked all types of terrain in these shoes - arid desert, in/out back/forth within the Grand Canyon, to the watery trails of the Zion Narrows. They stand up well. The tread is bomber, but does wear out; although, I attribute that to the areas where I hike. They comfortably fit my wider feet with never a break-in period. I have tried other brands, but they are always returned. Keen remains tried and true! Find these on sale and you will have found yourself not only a great deal, but a great shoe. Kudos to KEEN for creating a hiking shoe that goes the distance!
Great Shoe
December 17, 2009
The shoe is very nice looking. The shoe does seem to run small. I normally wear a 7 and in these I need a 7.5. I can't say enough great things about the customer service at Altrec, they are awesome.
Love my Keens!
August 21, 2009
Cannot believe that I can actually take a pair of hiking boots out of the box, put them on, and go for the hills! But that is just what I did. They were comfortable, light-weight and fit the bill. I continue to be impressed by Keens I have - casual sandals, water proof sandals, clogs, and now the hiking shoes. My only problem was not listening to the other reviews that recommended that I order a 1/2 half size larger. So I had to exchange them. I look forward to more Keens in the future.
Amazing, Comfortable Shoe
June 11, 2010
I wear a 4.5 and Keen's size 5 are the only adult hiking shoes that fit me well. These shoes, above all other Keen styles I have tried, are by far the most comfortable. They have excellent arch support and I can wear them on a 12 hour workday or while hiking!
Happy overall
September 24, 2009
Bought 1/2 size bigger like other reviews suggested and in shoe length was glad I did. The heel is a little loose for me though and can't comfortably tighten enough to make up for that. Overall, I am happy with purchase, I like the look & weight of the shoe. If you have narrow feet at all I would definitely try on in person before ordering.
Great Shoes - Great service!
April 23, 2010
Great deal on these Keen Targhee II shoes! AND received them in less than a week! Thanks Altrec! Will definitely buy from Altrec in the future!
My first pair and will not be my last
January 13, 2010
Right out of the box I wore my Keens for 8hrs with not problem. I sized 1/2 size up as recommended and I am completely happy with the fit. As stated above, this was my first pair of Keens and will not be my last !
Awesome Shoe!
September 10, 2009
This is my 3rd pair of Keens and my family wears them too. We love the colors, look and feel. Great for outdoors! Very Comfortable!
Love Keen's!
August 28, 2009
Not quite sure about these yet, though. I've been wearing Merrell's exclusively for the past seven years. For the last four I switched to Merrell's Chameleon Stretch Gore Tex. I can't find them so I thought I'd give these Keen's a try. They're really cute and comfortable walking around the house on carpet. I'm not sure I'm keeping them, but for now think they are pretty terrific. Altrec was quick on the shipping and best price on the Internet!
Supportive, sturdy, waterproof and... cute
October 07, 2009
This is my second pair of Keens. I bought the Women's Targhee II boot to hike the Inca Trail and loved them so much I bought the shoe version. Lightweight, waterproof, comfortable the moment I slipped them on. These are among the best shoes I have ever owned.
returning customer
August 20, 2010
This is the second pair of Targhee II's I have purchased. I have slightly wider feet and high arches and LOVE the way Keens fit me. The only minor problem I've had is that the sole eventually starts to separate from the shoe, but I wear them extensively year-round, so I guess it's normal wear and tear, but the rest of the shoe holds up great.
good construction, comfortable last, rounded toe
January 30, 2010
Keene shoes are aong the few brands that work for people who have to wear orthotics or braces and which still retain an element of style to make you feel human
Good for Plantar Fasciitis
January 17, 2010
This PARTICULAR STYLE of shoe was recommended to me for my plantar fasciitus by my podiatrist (along with orthotics). It's a good, solid shoe that doesn't bend in the middle and offers solid yet comfortable support. My P.F. isn't gone after 6 mos., but these shoes help me manage it as I am on my feet all day long every day. I have the shoe & the boot. Make sure you find socks that enhance a good fit. I use hiking socks. If you have PF, wear these shoes ALL THE TIME, LITERALLY. It helps alleviate pain & soreness in addition to icing & stretching.
Women's Targhee II Shoe
June 09, 2010
This shoe is wonderful - it allows me to hike and walk for miles without any discomfort - before this shoe I had to change footwear every couple of hours because of sore feet. Love them!
Great Shoe
April 11, 2010
These shoes are really comfortable and great for hiking. They keep my keep dry but are breathable for warm weather. They do run small so I had to send them back for a half size up. I ended up getting the mid when I sent them back just for a little more ankle support.
A must for outside walkers
September 29, 2009
Love my Keen's. I walk all fall, winter, and spring with these. The water resistance is key in Maine.
great shoe, size up
December 26, 2009
I ordered Keen Targhee II. It arrived in two days. Loved the shoes but had to return and reorder because size was small. Customer service was very helpful with my return
Great Shoe
March 17, 2010
Color is actually a little darker than was shown. Keen makes a great shoe... I have 2 pairs of sandals and love those too.
Another great Keen shoe
September 09, 2009
After my good experience with the Keen Voyageur hiking shoes, I decided to try the Targhee IIs. Not only same great fit and roomy toebox, but waterproof, too! I am also very happy with Altrec's pricing and timely shipping. I'm a happy customer.
Not as amazing as some other Keen's production
April 12, 2010
Do order half size larger than what you usually would wear. I returned this product. It was not as comfortable as some other Keen shoes I have. And ugly as heck.

The case against a 15-year-old Sumner County teen charged with beating his mother to death and setting the family's Hendersonville home on fire last month has been transferred to adult court.Zachary Davis faces charges of first degree murder, criminal attempt to commit first degree murder and aggravated arson after a mental evaluation determined he is not disabled.He will be transferred to the Sumner County jail where he will be held without bond."Judge Brown listened to testimony of a psychiatrist and others and he ruled that Zachary Davis is competent to stand trial and proceed with his own defense," District Attorney Ray Whitley said. According to an affidavit, Davis attacked and killed his mother with a sledgehammer while she slept in her bed on the night of August 10."It was a horrific murder and the judge made the observation it was a very savage murder and the defendant, Zachary Davis could not be handled in juvenile court properly so he will have to be transferred into criminal court for him to be treated as an adult," Whitley said. Davis then went upstairs and started a fire in the family's bonus room, leaving his older brother asleep in his bedroom upstairs.When Davis was arrested a short distance from the home, he was found with a notebook that contained a letter in which he confessed to killing his mother and leaving his brother to burn in the fire.Forty-six-year-old Melanie Davis, an Austria native, was raising her two teenage boys alone after her husband died of Lou Gehrig's disease a few years ago.The brother was uninjured.Davis' defense attorney did not have any comments regarding the case. A Sumner County grand jury will hear evidence against Davis on October 1.

text: Go to goldandblack.com and watch the video of basil the was just posted. Not that it matters, but how is this kid not a top 150 player. I'm just glad we've got him. Versatility is something we've really only gotten out of Robbie. Basil is more versatile than any player on our roster right now IMO. From what I've seen this summer, it seems like he's in better shape, a little taller (and might grow more.. still not as tall as his dad), and he's shooting the ball better. I think he'll be an unreal piece to the puzzle when he gets to purdue. Just watch the video

Book Love On Sale Now
I don't know about you but I'm always adapting my organizational systems for my kids and their ages. Especially when it comes to writing and art – which go hand in hand, don't you think? At ages six and nine, I've given the girls work spaces and easy access to supplies. Not only that, I try to display as much of their writing and art as possible.
A large desk with plenty of room to spread out, a cozy lamp, easy access to supplies.
A folding table for ongoing projects in the dining room. The kids are art journaling today.
Scissors, glue, tape, and odds and ends. We use Bare Books for writing.
Stencils (Usborne,) stickers, Tell Me a Story cards (eBoo,) and lots of different paper.
Stickers and stamps (behind the stickers.) An empty canvas waits to be painted.
Markers, colored pencils, pencils, crayons.
Movable tub for ongoing projects. In this case, art journals.
Bulletin boards work for us to display writing. (A Christmas play shown above.)
And work well for art, too.
I love putting the girls' art in a mat and frame. I need to change this more often but no matter when they created the pieces, artwork is my favorite way to decorate.

Your kids have a great writing/art space! I also like to make sure all of our creating materials are well-organized and within easy reach of my girls.
thanks, Susan. Feel free to upload any photos of your space to Facebook! I'd love to see your space.
Oh, this is inspiring, Melissa! Thank you. Reminds me of Jennifer Hallissy's work (http://thewritestart.typepad.com/the_write_start/2009/01/young-writers-workshop.html). I really need to figure out how to reorganize in a way that encourages my daughter's creative spirit, and get much better about displays.
It's always a bit of a challenge, isn't it? Knowing you, you'll think of something brilliant!
What happened to Jennifer? I haven't seen any recent blog posts from her. Her books is terrific.
This is cool. My parents made an art gallery for me and my sister too. I like it!
Thanks! This is timely for us because the art stuff and the stuff-stuff just seems to take over every flat space throughout our house! I like your basket/bin idea for markers/glue/scissors stuff.
I ended up putting 4 dozen rolls of colorful duct tape in bins in the playroom after purging most of the toys my kids have outgrown. So much duct tape! Takes up so much space!! And my oldest is an artist so we have so much art supplies that it's hard to keep it all organized.
What do you do for storage for large art paper? Poster board-ish size? We have tons of that. One of my friends has some kind of huge table with drawers but I think the drawers are not big enough for that size paper. I am keeping behind the Tantsu Chest in the Dining Room which is not my favorite spot to store it.
Your spaces are so beautiful… and neat. Are your kids good about putting their supplies away when they're done? My daughter struggles with this – she is a mad mad creator, and then her ideas carry her off to the next activity, leaving a wonderful mess of art supplies in her wake. Great post!
oh, no – they're terrible at picking up and like your daughter are mad creators, getting out everything we own!
I love the framed artwork!
thanks! Michaels always has frames 50% off so I stock up there.
You did such a beautiful job of displaying your children's artwork in your stairwell. We have an art corner too, and it's one of my daughter's favorite spots.
this is a great idea!!
I love being inspired seeing the creative spaces created for children And I am completely in love with your art gallery!
Kids really need to be given opportunity to grow their creativity and thinking skills, especially in our modern world where there is so much working against being creative.
I really enjoyed reading your post and your tips. Great work!!

Republican from Texas
Tom Leppert served as mayor of Dallas from June 2007 to early 2011. He previously worked in business, also serving as CEO of The Turner Corporation, the nation's largest general building company, according to the biographical material on his campaign website.
Recent statements involving Tom Leppert
"Tom Leppert pledged to make Dallas a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants."
Says opponent Ted Cruz has not led businesses.
Says "we brought crime rate down by 30 percent" when he was mayor of Dallas.
Says opponent David Dewhurst is a "career politician."
Recent stories featuring Tom Leppert
PolitiFact checked more than 30 candidate claims before Texas party primaries:
We poked into more than 30 claims by, or about, candidates on the Texas party primary ballots, extending from remarks by U.S. Senate candidates through those by hopefuls for Travis County and Williamson County posts.
Reminders dead ahead.
Craig James, fellow Republicans in U.S. Senate race deplore Obama's leadership:
Republicans seeking a Texas U.S. Senate seat have questioned Obama's leadership -- with Craig James recently saying the president seeks to ban U.S. firearms. That claim is smoky.
Leppert on the mark about Cruz's background:
Tom Leppert said in debate that Ted Cruz hasn't led businesses. That holds up.
U.S. Senate debate: 'Facts are stubborn things':
Several Republicans vying for a shot at succeeding Kay Bailey Hutchison clashed over their respective records in tonight's debate. Even before they tangled, one hopeful re-floated a claim about another that we've checked before.
Dewhurst a career politician?:
Tom Leppert, the former Dallas mayor running for the U.S. Senate, wasn't impressed with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's joining the 2012 field of candidates. Leppert reacted to Dewhurst's declaration by deriding him as a "career politician."
That descriptive of Dewhurst also has been levelled by a U.S. senator who's backing another Republican running for the Texas seat.
