(It is requested that applicants be as clear and specific as possible. There have been questions regarding the necessity of knowing a full physical description - including personal weight. These are necessary for calculating the total mass that the ship will be carrying, as well as other factors.)
((Yes, this is intended to be a bio thread. I'm playing around with a different style. Bear with me.))
*: I am limiting this because of the nature of this race. Quite frankly, I only want two linaut on board for now and I already have an idea of who this may be. This may change down the road, but for now... leave this one out.
**: Due to varied feedback recieved, this particular race is undergoing some adjustments. I'd wait until the next batch canonical updates before making your decision in this direction. If this is a complication for you, or you are interested in making an application as a member of this race, please notify me immediately.

Though I'd rather answer your questions in... well, the Q & A thread, I think I understand what you're talking about.
You're not going to have to do much more than BS your way through this anyhow. I'm using alot of technical terminology, but honestly - I'm mostly making this up as I go along. Meaning - BSing is exactly what I'm doing already. Actually, I think that's generally what science fiction is about.
If you want a specific description of terminology, that's fine. Really, I'm not looking for someone who's got a detailed understanding of military science fiction. I'm looking for someone who wants to have a fun time on a 20's era space ship. If that's you, then make a character and sign on.

Financial Services
Banking, financial services and insurance companies are under pressure to adopt digital technology to better meet customer needs – being fully aware that better customer engagement leads to richer customer experience and stronger customer loyalty. Although adopting newer and more agile financial services software and IT solutions is on the rise, the major trend of migrating from legacy applications still remains, compelling these financial services organizations to manage their new IT investments from shrinking IT budgets.
Why should you consider HCL?
- HCL's ALT ASM™ Framework for the BFSI sector. Maintaining your existing IT systems even while investing in new solutions can be quite challenging, requiring well planned processes. Our ALT ASM™ framework – our alternative view on ASM - has been instrumental in substantially reducing our customers' cost of operations and increasing their productivity. The framework adopts what we call - a "proactive obsolescence" approach - which provides incremental value beyond the traditional ASM contract and unlocks a large amount of working capital from our clients' ASM spend. This unlocked capital can then be re-invested in migrating from legacy applications to modern ones, thereby embracing digitalization more quickly. HCL's ALT ASM™ is helping banking, insurance and financial services companies achieve their target of maximizing revenues and minimizing spends.
Growth through innovative approaches. Our clients – from Fortune 500 corporations to financial services companies that are a lifeline for their local communities — partner with us to discover innovative ways to adapt to shifting regulations, achieve continuous simplification of IT and operations, improve their customer experience, and gain access to new products and markets. HCL delivers these benefits with help of its Financial IT Solutions through a tailored combination of nine critical factors categorized across three mainstays of value creation.
- One: Leveraging the eco-system
- Co-innovation for technology: Identifying end-user insights and developing ideas for a joint go-to-market
- Co-development with partners: Best-in-class products and SI capabilities that reduce risk and accelerate time to market
- Co-creation for thought leadership: Engaging analysts, advisors, and influencers to create business value from IT
- Two: Nurturing the value chain
- Fully served customer: Business-aligned IT to offer seamless integration of business processes, applications, and infrastructure
- Cost-structure transformation: Unlocking capital from best-in-class Run The Business (RTB) processes and reinvesting the savings into a transformational agenda of customers
- Front-office transformation: Helping banks and financial services companies address the evolving needs of the connected-customer community
- Three: Expanding the business model
- Skin in the game: Joint ventures and special-purpose vehicles that deliver financial value beyond traditional finance and accounting outsourcing benchmarks
- Pricing constructs: Convenient models such as Day 1 Committed Cost Savings and Gain share models
- Collaborative sourcing: Customer-need-based commercial structuring, benchmarked predictable SLAs, continuous reportage, and process innovation
- One: Leveraging the eco-system
Valuable partner. Traditional finance and accounting outsourcing models are beginning to disintegrate in the "new normal." CIOs and vendor management offices now seek partners who can assist them with financial services consulting , financial services software and strategies that help reduce supplier fragmentation, align with business objectives, leverage outcome-based models, seek innovation and value addition beyond the contrac. This model also provides global service delivery and delivery excellence,along with simplified engagement governance. To know more to view some of our unique engagements.
How can HCL help you?
We provide services to the banking, capital markets, and insurance industries across applications, IT infrastructure management, and business operations. (To know more to view our services across micro-verticals). Customers engage with us for gaining business-outcome-based solutions, by selecting a la carte from the list of interventions below, or both:
- Customer experience management: Balance your customer experience and operational efficiency by making each interaction with customers easy, fulfilling, relevant, and transparent

- Policy administration systems: Leverage core systems technology that provides insurers with the insight and operational agility to build resilient customer-centric strategies

Okay, I just love Iron & Wine. Never seen them live unfortunately, but sometimes close my eyes and pretend I'm there when I listen to NPR concert coverage.
Maybe some of you who have actually been to a show can have better input, but I think my favorites are
2. Carousel
3. Naked As We Came
4. Boy With a Coin
5. Each Coming Night
6. Peace Beneath the City
and 7. Sodom, South Georgia
... that list goes on. I just really like those the most I think. Any other opinions??

Ever since it first emerged, capitalism has been accused by its detractors of encouraging greed and selfishness. Its defenders have responded either that this is not so, or that selfish behaviour is redeemed by its socially beneficial effects of greater economic growth. The financial crisis has triggered soul-searching about our economic system. Surprisingly perhaps, the questioning has come from capitalism's most committed practitioners: bankers. Stephen Green, HSBC chairman, has written a book about morality and money. Ken Costa, Lazard International chairman, writes: "We are doomed to repeat our mistakes if we do not restore sound ethics to economic behaviour."
Can capitalism only work if its participants also obey moral values beyond pursuing their self-interest? If so, what needs to be done? Or is the genius of capitalism that it can produce benefits for society even if individuals work for none other than themselves? Was the crisis primarily a result of bad policy or of immoral behaviour? Is there a place for morals in finance? Join the debate. Click on Comment to share your views.

9 Best Deodorants and Antiperspirants -- and the 4 WorstHere are the deodorants that readers love -- and the ones that left them high and (not) dry |
Why it's great: "The Candid scent is sweet and feminine," says one reader. "[It's} really great for daytime. It's liquid, so it is invisible on skin and doesn't leave white stains on clothing." Another reader says, "For 99 cents, it is an incredible bargain.... It works great and it smells soooo good. It lives up to the Avon name."

I work as a waitress and a bartender and I go out and dance a lot with friends, so you could say I'm a very active person. One of my coworkers at the restaurant saw me putting on anti-perspirant during one of my breaks and she gave me some Lavilin to try. I put on some that night and haven't used my anti-perspirant since! Even when the restaurant is crazy busy and I'm running around taking care of customers all night, I am completely odorless at the end of my shift. I usually apply it once a week, after a shower, and I am good to go!

i believe UARMSOL deodorant powder is one of the best out there. I'm using it now and there's no chemicals, oil or scents. The deodorant doesn't mask odour either and it works great there's no armpit odours even after exercises.

I agree the Secret Scent Expressions Gel deoderant was pretty bad. It smelled nice but that is about it.

Applause! Excellent picks. I love Certain Dri and Avon's On-Duty (really a bargain during a sale). Mitchum Liquid should definitely be included here--you CAN actually skip a day without perspiration or odor!

Local law enforcement officials said there has been a substantial increase in property crime since the state tasked counties with handling non-violent criminal cases in 2011, and the recent stabbing in the Bayshore Mall has led to renewed concerns about how potential repeat offenders are handled.
William Frank Whipple, 23, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of attempted murder in the Monday stabbing, less than six months after he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2006 killing of Eureka resident Trevvor James Davenport.
EPD Detective Todd Wilcox said the victim of Monday's stabbing is recovering.
"I don't anticipate this turning into a murder, thankfully," he said.
Whipple's guilty plea carried a maximum sentence of four years. He was released for time served after awaiting trial in jail for two years and earning two years of good conduct credits, according to court documents.
Since realignment, jail officials have been shouldering the responsibility of holding serious criminals for longer periods of time, instead of sending them to state prison. As a result, a larger number of offenders have been released from jail and into programs like post-release supervision. The program -- which would have overseen Whipple -- is one of several alternatives designed to reduce the need for bed space in county jails and state prisons by removing lower level offenders from overcrowded jails.
While the stabbing may be unusual, local law enforcement officials said they have noticed a significant rise in property crimes coinciding with the implementation of realignment.
Arcata Police Detective Sgt. Todd Dokweiler said three burglaries were reported in January 2012, compared to 26 reported in January 2013.
"I don't recall seeing that dramatic of an increase in the past," Dokweiler said.
While the increase coincides with the implementation of realignment, Dokweiler said it couldn't be certain that was the cause.
"One prolific burglar can skew statistics in a small town like Arcata," he said.
Dokweiler said violent crime statistics remain about normal.
"That doesn't seem to be as nearly a significant increase, at least in Arcata," he said.
Dokweiler said if theory is that realignment is the cause of the increase in property crime, it stands that violent crime won't increase because those offenders are still being held.
"Property crimes -- there's just no room to hold those people and they're getting released almost immediately," Dokweiler said.
Drug addiction plays a large role, Dokweiler said, as people awaiting court-sentenced treatment often fall back to drugs and burglary to support the addiction.
"In a lot of cases, they tell us that's why they're doing it," he said.
District Attorney Paul Gallegos said addiction, mental illness, and poverty are factors. If those conditions make a person unemployable, they may depend on social services or turn to committing crimes.
Repeated offenses amount to "life in prison on an installment program," Gallegos said.
Dokweiler said he was "certainly hopeful" that realignment efforts would work in the long run.
"That's probably well over the horizon right now," he said.
Eureka Police Chief Murl Harpham said he didn't share Dokweiler's guarded optimism.
"I'm not seeing it," he said. "The hope I have is that things are gonna change."
Harpham said vehicle thefts and burglaries are up since 2011. He says officers have arrested people for vehicle thefts days after arresting them for the same offense.
"Chiefs and sheriffs are putting pressure on the governor," he said. "The governor is starting to see the problems."
Gallegos also noted the increase in property crimes and repeat offenders.
"Not only us, but DAs throughout the state," he said. "The realignment has resulted in consequences. One of those that we've seen clearly has been the rise of property crime."
Gallegos called it a "paradigm shift" in the criminal justice system that attempts to focus on services and practices to correct behavior over jail sentences.
"It's a social experiment," he said. "In the interim, we will see that crime increase."
Gallegos said that he and other district attorneys around the state were apprehensive about the long-term success of realignment.
"I'm prepared to accept that the realignment is the best in the long-term," he said. "For a large population of people engaged in committing crimes, prison is not a solution."
Gallegos said he's most apprehensive about Post Release Community Supervision -- the program that sees people convicted of non-violent crimes released under county supervision. Potentially dangerous people convicted of lesser crimes can be released and continue to pose a threat.
"Their current offense isn't serious or violent, but their trend in life is," Gallegos said. "But the current case we have doesn't give us the tools to take them out of the community as long as we want."

Some pediatricians and speech experts say 12 months is a good time to wean your child from the pacifier because this marks the beginning of a dramatic speech development phase. If your child often has a pacifier in his mouth, he may be less likely to babble and practice talking, or the pacifier may distort his speech.
But that's not a hard and fast rule. Many children use a pacifier well into their toddler and even preschool years. For these kids, the pacifier may serve as a so-called transitional object – that is, something that relieves stress and helps them adjust to new or challenging situations, like starting daycare or taking a long car ride. If your child takes great comfort from his pacifier, you can let him continue to use it until he develops other coping mechanisms.
Just be aware that there are some reasons to consider banishing the binky sooner rather than later.
One, as mentioned above, is that pacifier use can interfere with speech development. Sucking on a pacifier locks a child's mouth in an unnatural position, making it more difficult for him to develop his tongue and lip muscles normally, says Patricia Hamaguchi, a speech-language pathologist from Cupertino, California, and author of Childhood, Speech, Language, and Listening Problems: What Every Parent Should Know.
In some cases, using a pacifier frequently can cause the tongue to push forward between the teeth. This sets the stage for the development of a lisp when producing the s and z sounds.
Another reason to give up the pacifier is to help your child sleep on his own. If your child becomes dependent on a pacifier to fall asleep, you may have to get up and find it for him every time he wakes during the night.
Third, if your child seems prone to ear infections, losing the pacifier might provide some relief. One study showed that children who didn't use pacifiers had 33 percent fewer middle ear infections.
Finally, in some cases, the pacifier can cause your child's upper teeth to tip forward toward the lip. That said, there's no evidence that pacifiers cause any permanent damage to baby teeth – they usually return to normal after a few pacifier-free months. (Still, it's a good idea to mention your child's paci use to the dentist so that she can check his teeth and jaw to make certain that everything is fine.)
The bigger concern is permanent teeth, which usually start coming in around age 4 to 6. At that age, pacifier use can cause lasting dental problems, so your child should be off the binky by then.
When the time comes to wean your child from the pacifier, do it gradually. Many parents find it easiest to start by limiting daytime use, then work their way up to phasing it out of the nighttime routine. Starting a new bedtime ritual can help.
If your child's not quite ready to give it up, consider switching to an infant pacifier for the time being, says Hamaguchi. It's smaller, softer, and less apt to impact your child's speech.
Need help banishing the binky? Get great ideas that really work from our list of 10 ways to help your child give up the pacifier.

Okay. So let's say that somebody said, "I think the ugliest men in the world are from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, or any other country that is located in the continent of Africa."
What do you honestly think the response from other people would be? Do you seriously believe that person would not be accused of being a racist?

If you don't want a hanging tag that makes noise when your dog moves, you could go with a brass nameplate that rivets onto your existing dog collar. Our brass name plates are also made entirely out of brass materials.
Durable Stainless Steel Pet ID Tags
Dog ID tags in stainless steel are a great choice for pet owners who want a tag that will stand the test of time. Stainless steel does not rust or corrode when it interacts with water, making it a great tag material for dogs who love to swim.
Stainless steel pet ID tags also have a great shiny look. We have stainless tags in many sizes and shapes including star, paw, heart, bone and round.
Stainless Steel Nameplates
If you want the silver look, but don't want the jingling dog tags, try putting a stainless steel dog nametag on your pet's existing collar. These simply rivet on or slide on the collar, making it easy for you to keep your dog safe.
Free, Quality Engraving
All of our brass and stainless steel pet ID tags come with free engraving. We use a laser-engraving method to engrave any message you'd like onto your tag. We're so confident in the quality of our engraving that our tags even come with a lifetime guarantee.

Texas de Brazil blends the steak-centric cuisine of Texas with the traditional churrasco method of slow-roasting meat over an open flame grill to form a luscious meaty mélange. The full dinner ($39.99) marches out a cavalcade of choice cuts, allowing diners to welcome continuous windfalls of flavorful proteins. Brandish your table's provided card, green on one side, red on the other, and it will function as a meat traffic light that summons servers to either send stacks of seasoned beef, pork, or lamb skewers or halt plate traffic like a decorated culinary crossing guard. Or feel free to substitute greens for the grill by stepping into the sprawling salad-bar conga line ($24.99), two-stepping through toothsome goodies such as imported cheeses, steamed asparagus, and dozens of other hors d'oeuvres.
Taste of Brasil regales visitors with the country's best flavors in the form of rich stews, steaks, sandwiches, and sweets. Though full of Portuguese terms, the menu caters to English speakers by clearly describing each traditional entrée, such as feijoada, Brazil's national dish comprised of a black-bean stew swimming with smoked pork and sausage, and picanha sandwiches filled with the country's most popular cut of steak. Diners can complement their hearty main dishes with colorful salpicao salads, slow-cooked lentil soups, and light, fluffy mango mousse. After guests quell exotic cravings, they cheer on their favorite team during World Cup viewing parties, or don masks and dance during lively masquerade balls.
Not a lot of ideas dreamed up on a first date come to fruition. But for Daniela and Brad, their first date in a Sao Paulo pizzeria grew into more than just a romance. With every successive date, their wouldn't-it-be-nice dream of opening a Brazilian-style pizzeria grew too shape. Not too long after, they decided to use the recipes handed down from their Italian ancestors to create their pizzeria, Fogo 2 Go.
In their cozy store-front?taken up by a main counter and an enormous brick oven?they bake crispy, Italian pizzas paired with unique Brazilian influences. Their pies come layered with everything from classic Italian sausages to more unique brie margherita and shrimp scampi toppings. True to the idea's Brazilian roots, they also cook up treats such as coxinha?an empanada filled with seasoned chicken and mashed potatoes?as well as desserts such as flan and Nutella & Banana pizza.
Aside from the Brazilian-Italian comestibles, Fogo's crown jewel is the brick-fired, charbroiled whole, half, or quarter chicken. Thanks to the intensity of the oven's heat and the incantations of the bistro's house shaman, the chicken quick-cooks, leaving a bacon-crisp skin and sealing in juices. What they never decided in their dream was the type of beverages to serve, so the pair let customers make that choice themselves with their BYOB policy. Fogo 2 Go even satisfies late-night hungers by staying open until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
Brazilian-born chef Jorgina Pereira relies on ingredients such as cassava root, collards, and coconut to infuse stews and stir-fries with tropical flavors at Sinh?. Pereira prepares her homeland's cuisine at home, welcoming guests into her historic brick townhouse for intimate meals in the mid-afternoon and private events in the evenings. In addition to doling out tropical comestibles at its brick-and-mortar location, the staff takes a custom catering menu on the road with Brazilian musicians, dressing for events in a Carmen Miranda-like uniform of flowing dresses and fruit-filled head dresses. Sinh? is a local favorite, and was even featured on ABC 7 Chicago News in a restaurant segment.
Inspired by the traditional eateries of southern Brazil, Al Primo Canto serves rotisserie-roasted meats and eats in a warm, inviting setting. Opt for a family-style meal of multiple courses ($30 per person), or select from an à la carte menu. Preheat your appetite with a classic Brazilian palate-tickler such as caponatto de beringela, a dish of roasted eggplant with tahini paste ($6). Then, move to a main course of veggie-friendly pasta such as homemade gnocchi caprese with tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella ($13) or slow-roasted, mouth-watering meats made in Al Primo Canto's brick-lined charcoal rotisserie, a Brazilian import. Entrees from this alchemical producer of food-gold include the restaurant's signature galeto al primo canto, a young chicken marinated in white wine, fresh garlic, and sage, rotisserie-roasted over natural wood charcoal ($16). Silence any last hunger pangs with desserts such as the Romeo e Julieta, a tragically tasty warm guava cake with vanilla mascarpone sauce ($5).
Rather than stay cooped up the kitchen, Brazzaz's gaucho chefs make forays into the dining area to carve portions of their 18 churrascaria-style, fire-roasted meats for guests. As customers lounge beneath geometric pendant lamps, they can take their pick of Brazilian bites, from succulent slices of tenderloin medallions wrapped in bacon to whole legs of lamb marinated in a secret blend of ingredients.
In addition to devouring the all-you-can-eat meats, diners can pair their entrees with selections from the gourmet salad and sides bar, which stocks more than 60 items of seafood, imported cheese, cured meat, and fresh-cut vegetables.
After dinner, sweet teeth sink into freshly crafted desserts, which may be purchased for an additional cost and run the gamut from Brazilian flan to chocolate mousse topped with homemade whipped cream.
Throughout each feast, bartenders can help wash down bites by whipping up cocktails or pouring selections from a sommelier-selected, 150-item wine list, which focuses on vineyards in the Americas from California to the Little California districts in major cities.

Wow, one month since the Giants won the World Series? Doesn't it seem like just yesterday?
It's very interesting for me to look back at the season, though, now that I am a little bit removed from it. From Opening Day (and even before) I was so wrapped up in the 2010 Giants that only now I can really appreciate how incredible their season was. So many things happened in the 2010 that none of us expected, I think. So now I'm getting nostalgic and missing baseball and I decided to write 5 Things I Hate About the Offseason. Only five, because I am giddily excited about the Winter Meetings. You read that right: giddily. So I can't write that many bad things about the offseason, because without the offseason, when would the Winter Meetings be? And there is ample time to wear boots and trench coats in the offseason. And there's rain. And lots of excuses to eat brownies and cakes and other wonderful things. But yeah, this is the bad things. Take a look (well, first at the boots and then the Things).
Loewe, Hermes, Chalayan, and Vuitton
5 Things I Hate About the Offseason
5. I have this theory that people are nicer during baseball season. Not just baseball fans, but everyone. Because having baseball in the air does that to people. So that would mean that during the offseason the world is basically a meaner place.
4. A large percentage of MLB players, including Giants, migrate to the LA area. Traitors. That's Dodgertown, USA.
TACKY! Bieber isn't even from LA. He is Canadian. More appropriate on a hockey ad or something.
3. It rains and no one breathes a word about rain delays. Because there are no baseball games going on.
Who else adores Norman Rockwell, by the way?
2. Things that would sound silly during the season become not so silly, like, "Will Jeter Leave NY?"
1. A lot happens in the offseason but the amount of dead time drives me a little crazy. Baseball fans aren't used to this. Baseball is every day and the postseason does little to make the transition easier.
That is obviously me, going crazy.
0. (Because I have one last one and 5 Things sounds better than 6 things.) Patrick Connor (@pcon34) said it best, a few days after baseball season ended: "It's kind of boring & lonely without any baseball."
Kindly ignore the fact that this is The Home of the People Who Wear Blue and Put Blue all Over Their City.
What do you hate about the offseason? Is anyone else giddily excited for the Winter Meetings? Or is anyone going who cares to put me in their suitcase? I'm short. And I'll be really quiet. Other than the blowdryer. And the stilettos clonking around every morning. Seriously, really quiet.

Hi everyone
Since it may be only days (WE HOPE!) til we get any actual info on specifics, a last chance to guess what features the landscape of the board will have.
Me: I keep thinking that the river on the main board seems to flow into what will be the new City (and Village too, actually) board. Will there be occasional bridges to cross over? Will there be a 'new' aspect of rafts or boats for conveyance?
I think it would be cool if this river coursed mostly around the outer edge of the board and you could possibly pay someone to travel the river and move faster or more efficiently towards the end or other spaces. Sort of like 2 or 3 'docks' spaces where you can get on or get off. A watery subway train?
Like some of you I'm wondering if the board will be like the 2nd, basically a square that you can go around and around, or one-way driven towards an end space and a possible Boss to defeat.
Maybe it could be a combination of both? An actual "square" in the center (with that fountain, natch!) but a route of City streets would mostly wrap around it. You could enter the square off of the route at four cardinal entrance points (and leave that way too).
Spaces to encounter? How about a Grand Hotel. You pay minimum 2 or 3 gold, but have to stay 2 turns (lose these turns), …. but… you are refreshed and revitalized! (HEALED, 1 LIFE). Additionally there could be a Hotel Physician who for extra gold could heal more seriously wounded characters. If it were possible to tie it into the day/night mechanic, neat, but some days and nights last quite a few turns…
A bank - to store either gold or special objects - for a fee!. Now I'm not sure how the dynamic would help you get access to these items, if you move on to another board, but maybe the bank employs special couriers, or carrier pigeons (at another fee) to wing these things to you when you need them. Again, the dynamic and timing would be important { Oh no! I'm encountering the Eagle King in the Highlands, and need that special magic object- hope the pigeon can fly it here NOW - L.O.L. ! } Of course banks do other things to like loan money. And of course banks can be robbed!
Maybe it could be possible to buy a house in the City, then you have your own storage unit for excess *and* a place to rest and heal. Store extra horses, followers you wouldn't use often etc. [ and a negative caveat: the place you could be House Arrested at }
I still want to see a City sewer (space) that might accidentally or otherwise flush you down to the Dungeon. That would be cool! Or options: die roll 1: flushed to the Dungeon (should be some space within it, not the entrance) 2-3 fight an alligator in the sewer, strength 4?, 4-5: move that many spaces ahead (come out another "sewer". 6: Find 2 or 3 gold down below?
Of course I would like to see updates of the Magic Emporium (I think that was it) and Anarchists/Thieves/spell-caster guilds. a High Temple with slightly different options, a Teleport or passage to the Temple in the Middle, or being charged with a Holy Quest to provide safe passage for the High Priest to the Middle Temple?
Maybe there could be two end bosses, depending on paths taken; The God-Priest of the City (can upgrade your Craft and give spells or fate too). The City Crime Boss who give you an evasion device, or new 'henchmen' followers.
Blah blah blah!

Women's Weight: 6ozs (1/2 pair)
Just bought a pair before we go on holiday - they are so comfortable - absolutely love them. I have the purple ones, only colour instore but my fav anyway!!
Sized as Expected
Very comfortable, I wanted a different colour (bought black) from my local store, love them so much I came here to buy another pair but too many colours to decide from, wanted tan now want the orange ones!
Sized as Expected
Everyday wear, I wear them to the office as they look like dress shoes yet are not!
Loooove these shoes, it's like wearing slippers. They fit perfectly, and without socks feel great. I can feel my entire foot in contact with the earth. Love the colour, purple, I'd love to get the sky blue also.
Sized as Expected
going for long walks
These shoes are so comfortable, are professional enough for work but comfy enough to walk in. The only thing I can see being an issue is the stitching along the top is angled instead of staying close to the edge and one of mine is starting to curl a bit. However, I love them so much, I will just take them to a shoe repair person who can add some stitching to hold that part flatter.
Thank you for your Review. For your information; Merrell shoes are warranted for manufacturing defects one year from the date of purchase with proof. Our warranty covers all of our products against defective material and/or workmanship. We suggest that you return to the store with your shoes and proof of purchase.

Praise for God's sovereign power in the creation. (1-7) For his favour to his church. (8-12) And the psalmist's praise for his experience of God's goodness. (13-20)
Verses 1-7 The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to laud that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify him also. But nothing can bring men to do this aright, unless his effectual grace create their hearts anew unto holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it effects, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
Verses 8-12 The Lord not only preserves our temporal life, but maintains the spiritual life which he has given to believers. By afflictions we are proved, as silver in the fire. The troubles of the church will certainly end well. Through various conflicts and troubles, the slave of Satan escapes from his yoke, and obtains joy and peace in believing: through much tribulation the believer must enter into the kingdom of God.
Verses 13-20 We should declare unto those that fear God, what he has done for our souls, and how he has heard and answered our prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and praise; this will turn to our mutual comfort, and to the glory of God. We cannot share these spiritual privileges, if we retain the love of sin in our hearts, though we refrain from the gross practice, Sin, regarded in the heart, will spoil the comfort and success of prayer; for the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord. But if the feeling of sin in the heart causes desires to be rid of it; if it be the presence of one urging a demand we know we must not, cannot comply with, this is an argument of sincerity. And when we pray in simplicity and godly sincerity, our prayers will be answered. This will excite gratitude to Him who hath not turned away our prayer nor his mercy from us. It was not prayer that fetched the deliverance, but his mercy that sent it. That is the foundation of our hopes, the fountain of our comforts; and ought to be the matter of our praises.
Psalms 66:1-20 . The writer invites all men to unite in praise, cites some striking occasions for it, promises special acts of thanksgiving, and celebrates God's great mercy.
1. Make . . . noise--or, "Shout."
2. his name--as in Psalms 29:2 .
make his praise glorious--literally, "place honor, His praise," or, "as to His praise"; that is, let His praise be such as will glorify Him, or, be honorable to Him.
3, 4. A specimen of the praise.
How terrible--(Compare Psalms 65:8 ).
submit--(Compare Margin), show a forced subjection ( Psalms 18:44 ), produced by terror.
5, 6. The terrible works illustrated in Israel's history ( Exodus 14:21 ). By this example let rebels be admonished.
7. behold the nations--watch their conduct.
8, 9. Here is, perhaps, cited a case of recent deliverance.
9. holdeth . . . in life--literally, "putteth our soul in life"; that is, out of danger ( Psalms 30:3 , 49:15 ).
to be moved--(Compare Psalms 10:6 , 55:22 ).
10-12. Out of severe trials, God had brought them to safety (compare Isaiah 48:10 , 1 Peter 1:7 ).
11. affliction--literally, "pressure," or, as in Psalms 55:3 , "oppression," which, laid on the
loins--the seat of strength ( Deuteronomy 33:11 ), enfeebles the frame.
12. men to ride over our heads--made us to pass.
through fire, &c.--figures describing prostration and critical dangers (compare Isaiah 43:2 , Ezekiel 36:12 ).
wealthy--literally, "overflowing," or, "irrigated," and hence fertile.
13-15. These full and varied offerings constitute the payment of vows ( Leviticus 22:18-23 ).
15. I will offer--literally, "make to ascend," alluding to the smoke of burnt offering, which explains the use of "incense."
incense--elsewhere always denoting the fumes of aromatics.
16-20. With these he unites his public thanks, inviting those who fear God ( Psalms 60:4 , 61:5 , His true worshippers) to hear. He vindicates his sincerity, inasmuch as God would not hear hypocrites, but had heard him.
17. he was extolled with my tongue--literally, "exaltation (was) under my tongue," as a place of deposit, whence it proceeded; that is, honoring God was habitual.
18. If I regard iniquity in my heart--literally, "see iniquity with pleasure."

I bought the smallest size of this rug for a small bathroom. I have since moved and the rug is beside the bed. It looks great in both locations. It's plush and well-made. It does shed somewhat however. I like it so much that I am now shopping for additional Momeni rugs. However, I am disappointed that several choices that I might have purchased today, using a Father's Day Weekend promo discount, are all out of stock. Boo to that.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug totally made my bedroom.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I bought the 2nd to largest size (8' x 11') to use in my dining room. I set the table to the left of the center design, which shows off both the table + the rug. When people walk in, it is one of the first things they notice + rave about. Also, the quality if absolutely consistent with the price.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.
