I just loaded two carboys up with Biermunchers centennial blond last night. Fairly low gravity beers with notty from a starter. Both blow-offs were going crazy...so much so, that I poured about half the sanitized water out of each jug because I was afraid they might overflow before the end of the day... And on topic, the two batches of Apfelwein I threw together yesterday were happily bubbling, too.
"Make sure that the beer - four pints a week - goes to the troops under fire before any of the parties in the rear get a drop." -Winston Churchill to his Secretary of War, 1944
Hokay, time for a report. I threw together 3 separate gallons, 1 each with lavin 1118, montrachet, and bread yeast. SWMBO and I have been thieving drinks for the past week, so I did not have much to bottle this morning. I have 2 bottles of each lavin 1118 and montrachet. One of each has been carbed with 1/2 tsp sugar and put into regular bottles, and the other of each into 375ml champagne bottles with 1 tsp sugar (to see just how sparkling it'll get).The remainder of each was poured into one container to settle. The bread yeast was interesting. Even with most of the yeast dropping out, it was still pretty hazy. Anytime the lees were stirred up (as in I poured a glass) the blowoff tube would start bubbling again. It didn't taste too bad, but have a definite pong to get past. I drank as much as I could, and now the bit left is headed for the trash. The 1118 cleared up faster than the montrachet, and SWMBO liked it better. She prefers to have it with a little sugar, but not bubbly. All 3 tasted similar to what I drank in Frankfurt 20 years ago, and were well within the range of the multiple brands and brewing establishments I remember. I have been looking for this in the States for many years. Now I have it.
So I forgot about this in the corner of my fermentation chamber for about 7 months. Finally transfered it to a keg tonight. Tastes like white wine but with apple flavor. I guess I got lucky with the long aging in the primary.
I made my 5 gal batch on 2/20 following Edwort's directions 100%. I was hoping to bottle it next week so I took a gravity reading and sampled tonight. The SG was 1.006, which seems a bit high. It tastes great! I'm worried that I shouldn't bottle it next week unless the gravity goes down. Is the 1.006 gravity reading normal after four weeks of fermentation? Temps have been around 67 the entire time.

My visit of Durbuy was not really a visit.
It was just some hours in the afternoon, without any preparation, either info gathering.
Don't expect that much must-see activity tips here, just impressions during some short visit.
Yet, the pics are charming. Don't you find? :)
I think that whatever the season, they would always be! The city is so charming, picturesque.
Who is going to return there with me? Raise your hand!

Cornelius & Toots are back, and a Haunted House Ride seems a little spookier than usual!
4.37 / 5.00 2,221 Views**Thanks a TON for the February nomination new grounders! Just to have one title next to of all those other great flashes means a great deal to me! AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED out of the kindness of their hearts! Really, thank you! And I'd just want to assure everyone once again that I read all the reviews you give me on a daily basis! Thanks to everyone who has left one!**
We've all heard the song. I decided to make a music video out of it!
After three painful/agonizing years of work (one year creating it, one year mourning the loss of all my work on it due to a virus, and one year recreating it from scratch), my music video for Haddaway's, "What is Love?" is finally complete.
*If you're animation isn't running smoothly, try turning down the quality by right clicking*
Although it is a day late for Valentine's Day, hopefully you guys can still enjoy it!
Don't forget to watch past the credits! ;)
Some fun facts :
Movie length is 4 min and 30 seconds
12,193 total frames
1,375 symbols
absolutely everything was mouse-drawn
Countless cans of Mountain Dew and Mexican Fiesta flavored Cheez-Its were consumed during the making of this music video
Along with the hidden items, there are secret buttons throughout the movie. See if you can find them all!
I take no credit for this awesome song but all Animation was done by me.
This movie got me thinking.... What exactly, is love?
Thank you very much to you for doing it
I liked much and made me laugh enough. Besides the fact that partly the parody is true enough. There are sections in which recollections bring me, jejeje. Very good.
Best Flash Ever
I could go on for 3 paragraphs about the epicness of this flash and how truly awesome and perfect it is. But the more time you spend reading reviews the less time you spend making more perfect flash. So all I will say is, don't change anything. Whatever you're doing to make flash this awesome, keep doing it.
that was one of the best videos i have ever seen. utterly perfect
this was really good : ) but... i cant get all the icons...T-T

American Airlines has no immediate plans to either spin off Envoy or merge it with either Piedmont Airlines or PSA Airlines, says its senior vice-president of regional carriers Kenji Hashimoto.
"We don't have any interest in spinning [off] any of our wholly-owned regionals at this moment," he says on the sidelines of the American Airlines leadership conference in Dallas on 17 June. "We're really focused on going through the integration and just trying to get things settled as far as providing a good product for our customers."
The same goes for any possible merger of Fort Worth, Texas-based American's three wholly-owned regional carriers – Envoy, Piedmont and PSA – he says.
Prior to the airline's decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2011, American had planned to spin off then American Eagle Airlines – the carrier was renamed Envoy in April – as a separate company. Those plans were put on hold and appear to have been shelved since its merger with US Airways in December 2013.
Envoy's future is still unclear, despite it remaining a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Following the rejection of a tentative agreement by pilots at Envoy in March, American announced that it would place 60 Embraer 175s tentatively bound for the airline with another carrier and plans to remove all of its 59 Embraer ERJ-140s as they come off lease.
Captain Bill Sprague, chairman of the Envoy Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) master executive council, said in March that American would remove Envoy's 47 Bombardier CRJ700s as well as the ERJ-140s leaving the carrier with a fleet of only about 100 aircraft in the future.
The mainline carrier has not confirmed plans to remove the CRJ700s.
"It's still going to be very, very substantial," says Hashimoto, on Envoy's contribution to American's regional network. He estimates that it will continue to provide about a third of the lift, he says.
Minneapolis-based Compass Airlines will operate 20 of the 60 E175s, according to an announcement today. The carrier is a owned by Trans States Holdings and has a fleet of 42 E170s and E175s.
American has not announced who will operate the remaining 40 E175s.

I am not sure if Farm Boxers is a legal. Most English teachers would go nuts with that one. I am probably breaking more than a few grammar rules. All that college did not pay off I guess.
OK. Here goes. This year I have been getting inundated with possible new shareholders (or farm boxers if you will). I get at least one new email or phone call every day.
As stated in a previous blog, I have acquired a bit of new ground so that we can accommodate more boxers this year. As always we will hand deliver all of your vegetables in a custom made farm box. New this year is a 5 week trial subscription that is taking off like wildfire.
Thanks to a bit of new farm land, we welcome all new members.

Big Brother 13
'Big Brother' houseguests Daniele Donato and Dominic Briones get married
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 01/21/2013
Big Brother
Danielle Donato
Dominic Briones
have tied the knot.
Donato and Briones, who both appeared on 2011's thirteenth season of
Big Brother
on CBS, wed at the Newland House Museum in Huntington Beach, CA, on Saturday,
"Truth be told, I really didn't like him at first. I thought he was a little troublemaker. But we became friends, and although I didn't like him like that, it just grew," Donato told
Reality TV World: Big Brother 13
More Big Brother 13 News
"After the finale, we became inseparable. We got to know each other really well, and we fell in love!"
Briones competed on
Big Brother
13 as a first-time houseguest while Donato was a returning houseguest. Donato had previously appeared on the eighth season of the show alongside her father "Evel"
Dick Donato
"We wanted something that was a good reflection of who we are," Donato said of their bohemian-style wedding. "We didn't want a traditional ceremony, because that's not exactly us."
The bride reportedly wore a vintage-style gown from BHLDN after looking at "maybe 1,000 dresses."
"It's vintage but modern with little sequins in copper. I'm sort of a hippie girl. I saw the dress and immediately knew it was the one. I went into one bridal stores and I felt like the dresses looked like down comforters. So when I saw this, I was like, 'Perfect.' We had a much harder time looking for something for Dominic to wear," Donato explained.
Briones sported a plaid purple shirt and cardigan sweater with dark purple pants from the Gap and an off-white bow tie. To complement his outfit, he wore matching Converse shoes.
Among the 120 guests of family and friends were former
The Amazing Race
Racers and
Big Brother
Brendon Villegas
and wife
Rachel Reilly
Although the newlyweds, who got engaged last August when Briones popped the question at the St. Louis Zoo, won't be taking off on their honeymoon any time soon, they are planning to go on a trip eventually.
"I've always wanted to go to an airport and take the next flight to wherever it goes out," Briones told
. "That's what we're going to do."
"I don't care where we go for the honeymoon," added Donato. "All I care about is that I married my best friend, and we're going to share our lives together. We mesh so well. We don't like being away from each other. We love being around each other so much. That's enough for me. I couldn't be happier."

"After buying these boots about a month ago I am extremely pleased. They were not cheap however they attract many compliments and looks great with any outfit. These are my go-to shoe for fall/winter and into spring! I'll miss wearing these come summer! They definitely took getting used to and had to be broken in but after about a week they became the most comfortable shoes I own! Amazing quality for the price I would definitely recommend!"

The Best Boots Ever
"These Rockcastle Boots by Aston Grey are simply the best boots I have ever found for my feet and stance. And to get them for the price I did at DSW is unbelievable. I had ordered a pair of custom boots from a vendor that cost nearly $600 and took 9 months to receive. Since I got these Rockcastle Boots, I don't even think about wearing those other boots anymore. I can wear these to Court Hearings or deep into the woods, and I'm equally comfortable either place. Fantastic product and superior craftsmanship!"
January 09, 2015
Great Boot!
"This was my first DSW purchase and couldn't be happier. Boots fit great and I liked them so much I bought another pair in black."

Nice pick me up
"Surprised the two guys in my life (50 & 16) with this boot -- best reaction ever .. they couldn't stop smiling and wear them every opportunity! (and I thought I would never get them out of workshoes and sneakers!) Yay us ;)"

Ayrton Senna: Photography exhibition marks 20th anniversary of F1 legend's death
Keith Sutton's images of the racing driver are on display at Proud Chelsea
Thursday 01 May 2014
Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna is being commemorated with a photographic exhibition to mark the 20th anniversary of his tragic death.
Proud Chelsea is presenting Senna: Photographs by Keith Sutton in celebration of the life and career of a man many consider the world's greatest racing hero.
His journey from Formula Ford to Formula 1 domination, to his eventual tragic death in a 1994 San Marino Grand Prix crash, is charted through Sutton's striking collection of photographs.
Sutton first became known to Senna when the driver approached him in 1981 to ask whether he was a professional photographer.
"When I said I was, he said he needed photos of him racing sent to Brazil on a regular basis," Sutton said. "On that day, he won his first race, and I got some great photos of him celebrating on the podium late in the evening.
"From the moment I first photographed him I knew I was witnessing an incredibly charismatic and talented young racing driver who would one day go on to become one of Formula 1's legends."
As their friendship developed, Sutton soon took over the handling of Senna's public relations and continued to photograph him on and off the racetrack.
Sutton's observations created the largest available archive of Senna's remarkable achievements and intense, larger-than-life personality.

Olympus has always kept its mju series of cameras sleek and skinny -- no mean feat when consumers demand ever bigger lenses and higher resolutions. The mju 1010 is a 10-megapixel style camera with an impressive 7x lens, image stabilisation and face detection. It can be found online now for around £180.
With a pedigree in slimline snappers that stretches back to 35mm film, Olympus knows how to put a compact camera together. The mju 1010 combines a metal case with plastic detailing in an impressively solid -- if slightly showy -- wedge-shaped design (25mm thick at its widest point). At the front, a 7x zoom lens reaches from a so-so 37mm wide-angle setting (look for a wider 28mm equivalent if you like taking pictures of open landscapes or buildings) to a handy 260mm telephoto. The CCD-shift stabilisation is very effective too, allowing you to grab blur-free close-ups of distant athletes or wildlife, even in low light. It's best to leave this on all the time as it doesn't affect battery life -- 260 shots per charge -- significantly.
Around the back, you'll be framing and playing back on the 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD. This is well up to Olympus' usual high standards, delivering sharp, vibrant colours in daylight and coping pretty well inside, although it does add a good dollop of grain when light levels drop.
The face-detection system on board is average, working very well with full-face portraits on a plain background, but tending to get confused with multiple subjects, busy backgrounds, hats, glasses and faces at an angle. Shadow adjustment -- to improve detail in shaded areas -- is a handy feature to have, although won't blow you away.
Image quality generally is also good, rather than excellent. Exposure and focus are smart and reliable, but colours are a touch flat and detail at 10 megapixels is less than perfectly crisp. It's fine for a compact without too many creative aspirations, but won't wow anyone used to digital SLRs. Movie clips are confident and smooth, but sadly don't let you use that great zoom lens while filming.

Make it so!
While you attended the NAB, you kicked the tires and identified the purchases you want to make. What comes next? Cut the purchase order? Pull out the corporate purchasing card? How do you go from capital decision to capital execution? You must find a way to "make it so!" For many managers, deciding what to buy is the easy part of spending your capital budget. The hard part is deciding how to buy it.
There are many ways to make a purchase; knowing how to order can make the difference in truly adding value to your radio station. Purchasing errors are more than expensive; mistakes can result in lost productivity that hurts morale and the bottom line.
Take a look at your purchasing categories, ask yourself (and potential vendors) some questions, and you will likely experience the rewards of money well spent. Let's discuss two types of high-ticket capital investments.
Physical plant
Building studios, transmitter buildings and towers is not the core business of most broadcasters. But management can be tempted to assign the task of designing and building technical facilities to the engineering department in an effort to save money. This is usually a mistake.
It may be better to delegate major construction projects to a general contractor or to a series of subcontractors that your engineering team can supervise. There are at least three reasons why it usually makes sense to outsource major capital projects.
Indirect costs. While your technical staff is probably more than capable of learning the construction trade, it will take time for your staff to master the learning curve. The costs of learning how to build something for the first time are often buried in the budget, since your staff gets paid anyway. You may never know the real cost of having your staff handle your physical plant projects.
The costs of ignorance. Few things can create as much grief in an organization as a capital project in trouble. It is safe to assume that mistakes will occur at the construction site; that is why it may be wise to outsource the heavy lifting to someone who does this work for a living. It all boils down to who pays for those mistakes.
On time, on budget. A general contractor or a subcontractor should have fewer responsibilities than your engineering staff. Before awarding a contract, see how many concurrent jobs the contractor has scheduled during your construction period. If the contractor is evasive on this issue, find another contractor.
The last thing you need is to pull your engineering team off a construction project to deal with a crisis.
Include penalties in your contract for failing to complete construction by a stated deadline. Penalties are your best insurance that a construction crew is going to stay on the job, even if your contractor has a more lucrative contract in the wings.
There is a middle ground between "doing it yourself" and hiring a general contractor: buying boxes instead of buildings. Increasingly, broadcasters are purchasing prefabricated studios and transmitter buildings, rather than "stick-building" their facilities. This allows broadcasters to take advantage of mass production cost savings — with the promise of greater quality control.
The advantages of prefabrication are magnified at public radio stations at state institutions, where studio facilities are often a neglected part of a much larger, multi-purpose building. The hazards of lowest-cost bidding, combined with the politics and bureaucracy that too often surround public works projects, conspire to ensure that many stick-built facilities will be inferior to their prefabricated counterparts.
Automation systems
Once considered a necessary evil at neglected sister stations, digital playback systems now deliver the pulse of most radio stations. While the process of selecting an automation system that is right for your station is a lot like buying a car, here are some purchasing tips that will serve you well before you buy:
Never buy based on a demo. Arguably, a vendor's product demonstration represents that company's best sales effort. On the other hand, your best predictor of how the system will work at your station will be your observation of how the product works in the field — without the vendor present. Find at least two installations of the proposed system at facilities similar to yours. Travel to those stations and spend a day talking with management, engineering and operations.
Ask to have several people demonstrate the system. If you hear frequent references to only one person at the station who "really knows how to make this thing work," run away from the product. If the automation system is user-friendly, everyone should know how it works.
Visit the factory. To evaluate the quality of technical support you are going to receive after you purchase your system, head for the factory. Given investment cost of the system, vendors will be hard pressed to turn down your request for an on-site visit. Forget the multimedia presentations in the boardroom. Instead, head for the repair bench and talk to the technicians. Ask about the most common hardware problems they face.
Visit the help desk and ask the staff to describe the most common problems they encounter. Ask about the help desk tracking system. Any serious help desk operation has software that allows staff to document and track trouble calls. Finally, look for a help desk that has a high level of respect for the products they sell — and the users who buy those products.
Be careful with factory training programs. Staff members certainly need training on a new automation system. The question, however, is not whether your staff should be trained, but rather, "Who should train your staff?"
Factory trainers usually understand their equipment and their software, however, not all trainers have a background in station operations. Indeed, few trainers have any formal background in training. As a result, system training can be highly frustrating for the staff — and hardly worth the expense.
Instead, find a user who understands how the system works. Offer that person the money you would have spent on factory training. Then, you will have someone training your staff who can focus on the basics of how to get things working, rather than a technically thorough (but otherwise irrelevant) "systems overview."
Capital investments will constitute a larger portion of a radio station's budget in the decade ahead. Stations that establish effective procedures to execute capital purchases will receive an even greater return on their investment.

Palestine solidarity activists have forged a growing coalition with environmental and labor groups to organize against Veolia.
The Native American and Indigenous Studies Association has declared its support for the Palestinian call for the boycott of Israeli academic institutions.
"While all Israeli universities are deeply complicit in the occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is particularly noteworthy."
Superstar had been due to perform in occupied Jerusalem with Israeli foreign ministry's "goodwill ambassador to Muslim countries"
"Israel and Pinkwashing" author's new book is an interesting read, but falls into some of the traps it ostensibly aims to criticize.
Burdon's press agent couldn't provide The Electronic Intifada with any details and other inquiries have gone unanswered.
"I will not be going to Israel at this time. I will go to Israel when the walls come down. I will go to Israel when occupation is gone. I will go to Israel when the state does not privilege one religion over another," Nair said.

None of the holes or slots line up with the device when you slide it inside. I don't know if Lenovo redesigned the device after the sleeve was designed, but even the pictures of the device shown on the sleeve product page show ports in incorrect locations. Others may say that I am putting the device in the sleeve incorrectly, and that's why the slots don't match up with the device. But there are only 4 ways to put the device in the sleeve (hinges first bottom up, hinges first bottom down, hinges last bottom up, hinges last bottom down), and the slots are mismatches in all four. $40 for a sleeve with port slots that don't match the device inside is a huge waste of money.

Joan Snyder
Snyder's entrance into the art world began with a series of
Stroke paintings, which shaped her first solo shows in New York City and San Francisco, and were selected for the Whitney Annual (1972), the Whitney Biennial (1973) and the Corcoran Biennial (1975). In 1978 the Neuberger Museum in Purchase, New York, presented a solo exhibition of her work. Since then, her paintings have been shown in numerous gallery and museum exhibitions. They are also included in major museum, corporate, and private collections.
In 2005, the Jewish Museum in New York City presented a
thirty-five year survey of her work, which then traveled to the Danforth Museum in Framingham, Massachusetts. In conjunction with this traveling exhibition, Abrams Books published a monograph entitled Joan Snyder, with an introduction by Norman Kleeblatt and essays by Hayden Herrera and Jenni Sorkin. Other recent museum exhibitions include solo shows at the Allentown Art Museum (1993), Rose Art Museum, The Parrish Art Museum (1994), and The Brooklyn Museum of Art (1998). Although Snyder's paintings are often placed under various art-movement umbrellas—Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Expressionism, Feminist Art—the changing nature of her work, with its combination of personal iconography, female imagery, aggressive brushwork, and accomplished formalism, has kept her steadily untagged.
Snyder lives in Brooklyn and Woodstock, New York.
Feminist Artist Statement
In the late 60's women had begun to talk, meet and organize. We were not being recognized or taken seriously, no matter the type or style of artwork we were attempting at the time. I remember calling male painters 'the boys', and I did that for years, because women were excluded from any dialogue at the time. Perhaps this is what allowed me to go my own way, to discover my own language, and to work so independently, just because I felt so excluded.
In 1974, after working on the 'stroke' paintings, I began in earnest to make paintings which had what I referred to as a female sensibility: Small Symphony for Women, Heart On, and another, Vanishing Theatre. In the early 1970s women were forming groups and talking about things political and personal, and about our art. Our dialogues impacted the art world. Women's work helped to pump the blood back into what were dry, cold, and minimal years in the art world in the late 1960s."
--Joan Snyder, 2007

'Acutely toxic' mine waste threatens the death of Norway's fjords
Tina Andersen Vågenes
28th November 2014
Two huge open pit mines in northern Norway are on the verge of approval, writes Tina Andersen Vågenes - even though they would dump hundreds of millions of tonnes of tailings in fjords where wild salmon spawn. Scientists are voicing serious concerns, and protests are growing, but government and mining companies appear determined to push the projects forward regardless. more...A whisker from victory! Oregon GMO vote goes to a recount
The Ecologist
26th November 2014
Oregon's 'Yes on 92' GMO labeling supporters are just 809 votes from winning, forcing a recount in which they are confident of prevailing - despite being hugely outspent by a corporate 'no' campaign that received nearly $5 million from Monsanto alone. more...Nigeria: Shell's false oil spill claims exposed in court
Sarah Shoraka
23rd November 2014

Jim Green / Nuclear Monitor
27th November 2014
Last February's explosion at the WIPP dump for long-lived intermediate-level nuclear waste from the US's nuclear weapons program remains unexplained, writes Jim Green. But with the site's history of ignored warnings, 'missing' safety culture, lack of supervision and dubious contractor appointments, it surely came as no surprise - and further accidents appear inevitable. more...Long noses: Shell, GDF Suez, Samsung sweep Pinocchio Awards
Oliver Tickell
19th November 2014

Return the land to small farmers!
22nd November 2014
All over the world, small farmers are being forced off their land to make way for corporate agriculture, writes GRAIN - and it's justified by the need to 'feed the world'. But it's the small farmers that are the most productive, and the more their land is grabbed, the more global hunger increases. We must give them their land back! more...Living with GMOs - a letter from America

Kevin Albertson
10th November 2014
Far from creating a 'level playing field' for business, TTIP favours foreign corporations over domestic ones - while undermining governments' right to legislate for public health, safety and wellbeing. Australia got the message in 2011 after being sued for its anti-smoking policies - now Europe must catch up! more...Victory! Outspent 87-1, Maui voters back GMO moratorium
The Ecologist

Nick Buxton, Carsten Pedersen & Mads Christian Barbesgaard

Dr Ian Fairlie
29th September 2014
When nuclear reactors are refueled, a 12-hour spike in radioactive emissions exposes local people to levels of radioactivity up to 500 times greater than during normal operation, writes Ian Fairlie.

Nafeez Ahmed
23rd September 2014
Governments must shift subsidies and research funding from agro-industrial monoculture to small farmers using 'agroecological' methods, according to the UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. And as Nafeez Ahmed notes, her call coincides with a new agroecology initiative within the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation. more...Coca-Cola is not the solution to hunger in Africa
Miriam Ross
22nd September 2014
Coca-Cola is the latest company to join the agricultural 'scramble for Africa', writes Miriam Ross.

Danny Chivers
17th September 2014
Amid ongoing creative protests over BP's sponsorship of the British Museum, Danny Chivers wants to know - why the harsh security tactics?

Ralph Nader
24th October 2014
Science is to corporate science as Hyperion to a satyr, writes Ralph Nader.

Dyeables Reviews
I am not happy with shoe and would like to return them. They have not been worn other than to try them on when I got them. I need the paper work and authorization to return them please.
Very pretty shoe but hurts from the second you put them on the foot pinches in the toes even when they are too big. Could not walk across the floor in them. Returned them the next day and since it's free shopping I ordered another pair.
These shoes are even prettier in person than on the website. I ordered the shoes in wide, but they were still too narrow in the toe. The toe cutouts pinched and rubbed my feet and became very uncomfortable. I am returning them :(
These are so uncomfortable! I bought them because of the positive reviews. I wore them to a wedding (lasting 10 hours). I knew that they would hurt eventually, but after the first hour they were bothering me. Three hours in, I had to take them off. 4 days later I still have cuts on my feet from the straps. Cute shoes, but find something more comfortable.
These shoes are very pretty! Perfect for the wedding that I am wearing them too. I am 5'8" and did not want the extra height. This small heel is perfect. I had to order a wide because the regular width was not available. They are a little roomy but I can tell they are very comfortable. Sometimes at the end of an evening dressy shoes can hurt if you are not used to wearing them. With these it won't be the case. I love them!
I love the look of this style. I looked at a lot of silver shoes, and this one is unusual. I haven't worn it yet for an extended period of time, so can't comment on comfort, hence the 3 stars (I have a high arch on a wide foot -- not the easiest combination). But I can say that given Zappos easy shipping & return process, they're definitely worth a try.
The shoes were a perfect match to my dress. They did however run a bit short but were still very comfortable.
Was pleased with them. Very comfortable. First time buyer, ordered two sizes, just in case. Received a postage free return for other pair. Would do it again.
They fit and looked great, but far too wide for me! (Admittedly, I have a narrow foot.) Sadly, I had to return them.
I bought these for my son's wedding, wanting to add a little bling but knowing that I really can't handle high heels anymore. They are perfect! Very comfy and look pretty on my feet.
Got these for a wedding where I was a bridesmaid, so needed something silver, sparkly, and comfortable. I was happy with them. They've held together well on the couple of occasions when I have worn them, and they're pretty easy to wear - I was still standing after 5-6 hours, which is good. They are very sparkly, but if you're into that, it's a good shoe.
These shoes are fabulous! I ordered them for my wedding because we went on a sunset cruise and I didn't want a high heel. They are very true to size and I have narrower feet and the fit perfectly. We spent the evening walking around down town and I had no issues with comfort. The details on the strapping is beautiful, even better than in the picture.
You cannot tell, although I asked a customer service representative, that the wedge heel is silver, not white, making this shoe too dressy for my event or my everyday use. Did not even try on.
Very pretty sandals, however the shoe is narrow even in the wide width. If you don't have narrow feet you might want to reconsider. I really loved the look of the sandal and was disappointed that they did not fit.
I'm not sure if I will keep these. I ordered them for my wedding because I need a pair of wedges (it's an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour) and they're one of the only options at/lower than 3.5" that I could find after months of scouring the web. I'm a 10-11 and my foot is on the wider side and these are not comfortable or cute, but they are pretty cheap, so I'm torn.
I can't believe that I was able to dance all evening at a wedding, and these shoes were still comfortable at the end of the night! Amazing, since I hadn't been able to wear heels with comfort, ever. Thanks, Zappos, for your customer service. I ordered several pairs of silver sandals and heels, and this one was a clear winner.
I bought these for my sons wedding, perfect for the dress and the heel was the exact size I wanted. I wore them, danced all night, and the heels wore down to the metal. They were very comfortable, I wore them all night, but was upset that they wore down. Of course, Zappos was wonderful and helped me right away.
Very pretty sandals, but lacking in comfort, since they don't have any cushioning and are hard on the feet. If you'll be wearing them for short periods of time, then they're fine. But, don't plan on wearing them for any walking. True to size and the crystals are lovely.
Very satisfied with this company and this shoe. Must have a narrow foot to fit into this shoe. Luckily this sandal fit great because I love the look. Very easy to walk in and get a lot of compliments when I wear them!
I loved these in every way,except the tiny heel. My foot felt rather unstable. My son is planning an outdoor wedding, and I thought these wouldn't work on unstable ground. Such a shame, because they are cute, and went great with my dress!

Pow Wow Trail – The Songs
Last month we shared with you the first episode from the TV series Pow Wow Trail, which was all about the heartbeat of the pow wow: The Drum.
The next episode in the series covers The Songs. Pow wows are nothing without the songs. They carry the stories, which in turn carry the culture. Some stories tell of great exploits, acts of bravery, and even stories that express the simple pleasures in life.

I APPLAUSE the video and it's intention .. However, my only quam is the act of promoting colonization, YET! Why, in 2014 are some of our relations still using these colonial constructs like 'Indian' … and other such wording. Also, why, why is the american flag shown flying clearly in this vid. Especially with the subject matter of this video. Almost as bad as still singing the Amazing grace ,,lol
Bright Spencer says:
Why use words like colonization? We all are in the 21st century, where we all walk in two worlds, at least. My grandparents came here way after the invasions and killings. One of my grandparents is Mohecan. One is French Canadian, one is Irish and one is German. All lands have been occupied at one time or another. We cannot live in the past. You use this media, like we all do. You cannot deny any affiliation and no one can deny you in all truth.

What does a bruised TMJ condyle represent?? Soft Tissue damage?? (I have many other TMJ sypmtoms)Posted by KR To put a long story short: I've had headaches behind my temples and back of my head for over a year, along with occasional earaches, tinnitus, ear stuffiness, occasional stiff neck. I went to my dentist who found some loose anterior teeth (bicuspids??) he had me wear a Kois deprogammer and after two weeks one of my jaw muscles spasmed and was painfully stuck sideways. I went to the ER. Next day, saw head and neck surgeon who did CT scan and sent me to a maxillofacial surgeon who did MRI. He found deranged discs on both sides and gave me an arthrocentesis. I still have headaches, earaches, occasional dizziness and my joints feel BRUISED on the condyle. He gave me botox a week and half ago which seems to have done nothing. He said he would see me again but that "there is not much more I can do for you, but I will have a look." My Question: What does that mean?? If I have these symptoms, does a bruised condyle represent anything??? Occasionaly when I open my mouth and put my finger inbetween the condyle and base of my skill it feels VERY SORE. Does this indicate soft tissue issues?? And is this enough for him to decide to look at it through a scope?? Or do I get a pat on the back and sent on my merry way?? How do you know if there's a soft tissue issues and what is the next step in doing something about it? Even if I apply moist heat, do I do that for the rest of my days? Does soft tissue damage heal with moist heat?? |
