"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is a better than but not substantially different from other superhero movies. It's as visually indistinct and paint-by-numbers-plot-driven as most Marvel Comics-based projects, especially the gaggle of recent Avengers-related films. That creative deficit is a major problem in "Days of Future Past" since it follows characters who travel in time to prevent a future apocalypse. Thankfully, there's just enough right in "Days of Future Past" to offset what's wrong. Director Bryan Singer's confident direction mostly compensates for familiar comic book movie problems, including bald expository dialogue and forgettable action. The storytelling has such momentum that you don't have time to realize that the story lacks urgency.
The movie starts in the future. A murder of mutants led by benevolent Charles "Professor X" Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and frenemy Erik "Magneto" Lehnsherr (Ian McKellen) conspire to save both human and mutantkind from shape-shifting, killer robot Sentinels. To prevent the Sentinels from becoming government-sanctioned weapons, the mutants send Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back to 1973 to stop Raven "Mystique" Darkholme (Jennifer Lawrence) from murdering the Sentinels' creator, Bolivar Trask ("Games of Thrones"'s Peter Dinklage). And in the process, Logan is forced to motivate and re-unite younger versions of Raven, Xavier (James McAvoy), and Magneto (Michael Fassbender).
Unfortunately, the obstacles that stand in Logan's way and the stakes that he's fighting for aren't particularly well-developed. "Days of Future Past" moves so fast that you might think Dennis Hopper posthumously strapped a bomb to it, and yet the relentless forward motion proves a mixed blessing. "Days of Future Past" is the seventh X-Men movie since 2000. As a result, Singer (director of the franchise's three best films) and screenwriter Simon Kinberg are confident enough to bluster through key scenes with just enough one-liners and character-defining action to push things along. But it's still frustrating to see such a propulsive film selectively revisit certain subplots. There are precious few scenes set in the film's dystopian future, and such new supporting characters as Peter "Quicksilver" Maximoff ("American Horror Story"'s Evan Peters) and Bishop ("Intouchables" star Omar Sy) are given as little screen time as the future versions of Xavier and Magneto.
More importantly, key character flaws, such as young Xavier's need to take a drug that removes his powers but gives him the ability to walk, are barely developed. In place of real development we have blocky dialogue, as when Logan and young Xavier first meet, brusquely explaining away almost all of Xavier's insecurities in a scene or two. It's nice to know that these shortcuts were made for good reasons; Singer and Kinberg were at least thoughtful enough to consider their sprawling story when they pared down their plot to its necessities. But hearing characters diagnose and cure each other through the power of motivational speechifying gets boring fast.
Xavier is the worst character-shaped plot device in this regard. Because he's a telepath who has an established partnership with both Erik and Raven, Xavier already knows what ails Raven, Erik, and even himself. He eventually pumps everyone up slowly, empathetically, boringly. He even gives himself a boost thanks to the power of time travel, communicating from the future to his past self (this scene sadly contains Patrick Stewart's biggest chunk of dialogue). Xavier's speeches stink because they serve to remind you how much meat is missing from the rest of the film.
Still, on a moment-by-moment basis, "Days of Future Past" is a fun popcorn movie. While the film's uncanny cast doesn't get enough time to show off, they are at least charming enough to make you want more. Singer's assured grip on his characters is what makes his X-Men movies the best of the bunch. He's exceptionally good at pacing and realizing set pieces like Magneto's prison break or the first fight between the Sentinels and the future X-Men. The film also takes time out to wink at viewers, as when Wolverine, now without a metal skeleton, lets out a confused sigh of relief as he quietly passes through a metal detector. That kind of confident, knowing approach to established characters goes a long way in a story that often feels like a merciless treadmill.

Pellegrini hails professional City
Related Articles
Published: 18 December 2013
Pellegrini made eight changes but still fielded a side that was far too strong for the Sky Bet Championship promotion hopefuls at the King Power Stadium.
Edin Dzeko struck twice after Aleksandar Kolarov opened the scoring with a fine free-kick on a night on which City were rarely troubled.
Pellegrini said: "It was very important for the team to continue in the Capital One.
"We knew it was not going to be an easy game because Leicester are a very good team, they were playing at home and were motivated.
"The team played very well, especially in the first half.
"Maybe when the score was 3-0 we stopped a little bit in our pace.
"Leicester had possession of the ball in the last minutes but I think it was a professional performance in all senses."
The only negative for City was the loss of influential right-back Pablo Zabaleta early in the game with a hamstring injury.
With Micah Richards already sidelined with a similar problem, City could now have difficulties in that position in the weeks ahead.
Pellegrini said: "Pablo has a problem with his hamstring. We will see tomorrow how serious it is.
"It is the only bad thing of this game.
"Of course now we don't have a (right) full-back. Maybe we will have to see what we can do in that position."
A lay-off for Zabaleta would add to City's injury problems with top scorer Sergio Aguero also out with a calf problem.
Striker Stevan Jovetic, having recovered from his own calf injury, might have hoped to replace him at Leicester but was ruled out through illness.
Jovetic, who has made just five appearances since signing from Fiorentina for £22million in the summer, had been set to play but pulled out after travelling.
With no other players having made the trip, Pellegrini could name only six substitutes.
Pellegrini said: "Jovetic was ill one hour before the match and he couldn't play.
"It is a pity for him. He is a very good player and would have had his chance today to play.
"He couldn't do it but we hope it is a small thing and he will be fit for Saturday."
Another player who will hope to face Fulham at the weekend is Dzeko, who took his chance to shine in Aguero's absence.
Pellegrini said: "I have always said Edin Dzeko is a very important player.
"He hasn't been playing normally in the 11 starting because (Alvaro) Negredo and Aguero are playing well, but every time he has played he has played very well."
Despite their enthusiasm Leicester struggled to make an impression in the game, although they did claim a late consolation through Lloyd Dyer.
Manager Nigel Pearson was at least pleased with the effort and said: "We were beaten by a very good side but I think we were punished severely for one or two mistakes.
"I would have liked us to keep it tighter for longer.
"I think the players deserve a bit of credit for trying to put them under pressure and we did get a goal back.
"It would be very easy to allow a side of Man City's quality to totally dominate and rub salt in the wounds but I think the players kept going.
"That was important but we are still disappointed."

text: AP Government & Politics Syllabus Mr. Crandall "In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." –Thomas Jefferson "No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." –Abraham Lincoln Course Description This yearlong, college-level course prepares students to take two AP exams: United States Government & Politics and Comparative Government and Politics. The course is designed to teach students to understand and be able to critically analyze important concepts in both U.S. and comparative politics through the study of six core countries from AP Comparative Government (the United Kingdom, Mexico, Nigeria, Iran, Russia, and China) and more in-depth study of American government and politics. In addition, students will learn the skills necessary to perform well on the AP tests. The first semester of this course will be devoted to the study of American government and politics. The second semester will cover comparative politics. As a college-level course, this class is rigorous and demanding. It requires that students put forth their best effort on a daily basis, both in class and in reading and listening to the news outside of class. Reading will be extensive and not all information will be discussed in class. Students MUST keep up with assigned readings to do well in the course, as well as on the AP exams. Students will also be tested on their understanding of readings in weekly quizzes. The following is the syllabus for the first semester of the course, AP American Government & Politics. The syllabus covering the second semester (AP Comparative Government & Politics) will be very similar and will be distributed at the beginning of second semester in the spring. The Exam The date for both the AP US Government and Politics Exam and the Comparative Government and Politics Exam is Tuesday, May 10. The AP US Government and Politics Exam is 2 hours and 25 minutes long. It includes a 45 minute multiple choice section consisting of 60 questions and a 100 minute free response section consisting of 4 questions. The unit tests will all resemble the actual AP test, they will consist of both multiple choice questions and free response questions . There will also be in-class and take-home free response essays throughout the year in order to gain more practice in writing such essays. Students will take a cumulative exam in class that will be similar in format to the AP Exam, which will be given immediately prior to the actual AP Exam. Text and Materials 1. Edwards, Wattenberg, Lineberry, Government in America, 14th edition. 2. Assigned and used in class: articles from current newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Washington Post; news magazine excerpts from Time, Newsweek, and the Economist; news footage and documentaries; C-SPAN's coverage of current events; ABC News Video Case Studies (the DVDs included in the textbook); and numerous websites. Grading System Grading will come from a points system. The points will come from tests, free responses, homework, quizzes, projects, class work, participation/habits of work, and debates. Grades will be based on the following grading scale: 100%-90% A 89%-80% B 79%-70% C 69%-60% D 59%-0% F As for the semester breakdown, the entire semester is 85% of your final grade, and your final exam is worth 15% of your final grade. Projects/Long-Term Assignments Chapter Reading Quizzes – We will not have a chance to discuss everything in the reading. Therefore, we will have chapter reading quizzes based upon the textbook. The chapter reading quizzes will include key concepts and vocabulary. These quizzes will be announced ahead of time, unless the need arises to change this policy. It is imperative that you read the assigned readings closely and take good notes because this will play a very significant role in how well you do in this course and on the AP test. Students will sometimes be allowed to use their notes on these quizzes, SO TAKE GOOD NOTES! News Assignments – Because of the importance of keeping up with political news, you will have several assignments based on the news. You will turn in a summary of political news stories. These stories can come from newspapers, journals, magazines, or the Internet (as long as they are from reputable news agencies). For each story you will write a detailed analysis/explanation of how the article ties into the political landscape, which should include your thoughts and opinions on the topic. As time allows, we will discuss the articles and your opinions in class on the days that they are due. More information will follow when such work is assigned. Cartoon Analysis Assignment – Approximately once a month you will turn in a political cartoon that you will have analyzed in regards to current political topics and themes covered in this class. As time allows, you may get the opportunity to share your political cartoon with the class. More specific information will be provided in a separate handout. US Supreme Court Landmark Cases Project – The goal of this project is to allow each student to do in depth research on a landmark Supreme Court case and write a legal brief on that case. Then each student will present their case to the class in order to provide all students with a background in each important Supreme Court case that could appear on the AP test. Debates/Discussions – We will have debates over various controversial issues throughout the school year. It is important to come prepared for such debates so that you can contribute meaningful arguments and support your opinion. We will also have numerous in-depth discussions. You will know about such debates and discussions well ahead of time, so you will have ample time to develop an informed opinion on the issue at hand. Wiki – There is a wiki for this course. The purpose of this wiki will be for the class to communicate thoughts and ideas about a wide range of political topics outside of class time. Your participation on the wiki will be counted as part of your homework grade. Specific information about assignments and the course will also be posted to the wiki. The 2-week calendars will be posted on the wiki, so you can always know what's going on. The address for the course wiki is: http://crandall.wikispaces.com/ Expectations Homework/Classwork: Students will have nightly homework assignments, primarily out of the textbook and from selected articles from the aforementioned supplementary materials, such as newspapers and news magazines. The students will also be required to read and analyze primary source materials, such as The Federalist Papers and the United States Constitution. All readings will be clearly stated in the two-week calendars and students are expected to complete each assignment/reading as assigned. All homework must be handed in ON THE DESIGNATED DUE DATE. Turning in assignments after the official submission date will result in a ZERO. I do not accept ANY late homework assignments. If an assignment is collected on a day that you are absent, it is to be handed in at the start of the first day that you return to class. Failure to do so will result in a zero for that assignment. All students are expected to complete essays or projects on time. These assignments will be reduced one letter grade for each day late, since they are worth more points and are more significant parts of your overall grade. Working together on class work will sometimes be allowed but each student is responsible for doing his or her own work and copying will not be tolerated—this applies to study guides. Both parties involved in copying or cheating will be penalized with ZEROS on the assignment or quiz or test. Plagiarism is entirely unacceptable and the minimum punishment will be a zero. If such behavior occurs more than once you may be dropped from the course. Binder: All students must have a binder that will help to keep all materials for the class together. This will be extremely useful when you begin studying material from 1st semester before the AP Exams in May. You must get a three-ring binder in which you will keep all of your notes, homework, quizzes, FRQs, and two-week calendars. This way when you go to study, all of the necessary materials will be in one central location and this will ensure that all of the hard work you do during 1st semester won't be wasted because you lose everything by the time May comes along. Your binder should be for AP Government & Politics only. Because this is a college-level course I will not do frequent binder checks, it is your responsibility to stay organized. However, I will periodically check binders as a part of your Habits of Work grade and as an extra incentive to keep everything together. Your binder must have at least 6 tabs, one for each unit in 1st semester. The units are listed below. Habits of Work: Each quarter every student will be given a Habits of Work grade. There are six areas that make up a students' Habits of Work grade. They include the following: Active Listening, Attendance, Respectful Attitude/Behavior, Preparation for Class and Use of Materials, Contributions to Class, On Task During Independent Work Time. Each student will be evaluated throughout the semester. This includes having your necessary materials with you every day. Points will be deducted from your Habits of Work grade each time you violate one of the Course Expectations (see below). Thoughtful contributions to in-class debates/discussions and the wiki discussions will also count toward your Habits of Work grade. Tardiness: Tardiness is unacceptable. Tardiness constitutes arriving after the bell rings. You must be IN YOUR SEAT WHEN THE BELL RINGS or you will be tardy. I will follow the school policy regarding tardies. Plus, for each tardy you will lose 5 points from your Habits of Work grade. Excused Absence: The work may be made up for full credit for all excused absences. For every day that you are absent you will have one day to complete and submit the assignment. You are responsible for getting the work you missed. o You should always know what the assignments are when you are absent because they will be detailed on the calendars you will receive every two weeks. o You will be expected to take any missed quiz or test during a study period in your schedule or before or after school. o Since you will always know about quizzes and tests ahead of time, you will be expected to make up any missed quiz or test within one day of returning to school. Failure to do so could result in a zero on that missed quiz or test. o Also, always feel free to email me any questions when you're absent at email@example.com. Unexcused Absence: Each unexcused absence will result in 15 points off of your Habits of Work grade. I will follow the school policy regarding unexcused absences. Unexcused absences will result in TOTAL LOSS OF POINTS for work missed on that day (including TESTS). NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Units The year will be broken into US Government and Politics first semester and Comparative Government and Politics second semester. The units for first semester have been broken down into six general topics, which we will deal with in relationship to how much of each topic may appear on the actual AP exam. The College Board supplies percentages for each topic, which coincide with the actual amount of information that will be on the exam. The units for second semester will be distributed at the beginning of second semester. FIRST SEMESTER: US Government & Politics I. Constitutional Underpinnings of Democracy in the United States 5-15% of AP test A. Considerations influencing the adoption of the Constitution B. Separation of powers C. Federalism D.

Policy networks Text: Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Lastly… Throughout this course, we will be relating our studies to current political events. On a daily basis we will discuss the news of the day. Therefore, it is important that you become actively aware of political news. You should read the newspaper and become more politically aware. Programs such as Meet the Press and the various other Sunday morning news shows will help you not only in class, but on the AP exams as well because you will be asked to use current examples to support your arguments. I cannot stress enough the importance of being aware of current political events. In order to further entice you to be aware of political issues, I will offer extra credit for watching Sunday morning news programs. Details on this excellent opportunity will come at a later date.

Channel Commitment Pays Off…Again

SafeNet Named to CRN's 2012 5-Star Partner Programs Guide for Fourth Consecutive Year
Now, I don't like to brag, but this award is pretty close to my heart. It's one of the few that recognizes not the strength of our portfolio, or the innovation of our technology, but our dedication to people. Promoting, teaching and enabling success for our channel partners has always been a priority for SafeNet. Winning the CRN 5-Star award for the 4th year in a row is a great confirmation that we're doing something right.
What is the CRN Partner Programs Guide?
"The companies listed in CRN's 2012 Partner Programs Guide represent a comprehensive list of the best channel programs in the market today," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director, for UBM Channel's CRN. "The 5-star award is reserved for vendors that understand that a successful partnership does not rely solely on the technology. By offering their partners tools, education, and regular updates, vendors on this list go above and beyond traditional support to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership."
About the SafeNet Partner Program
SafeNet's overall program is known for offering a highly innovative data protection portfolio, generous sales incentives, and continuous development of enablement tools that help partners to drive revenue growth, while offering unique and competitive solutions that address the ever-changing business and infrastructure landscapes of their customers.
In 2012, SafeNet's Partner Program placed a notable focus on accelerating product and geographic specializations, improving enablement through automation, and driving new sales opportunities for partners through innovations for the cloud. Most recently, through SafeNet's recent acquisition of Cryptocard, SafeNet provides a unique opportunity for its partners to rapidly introduce "authentication–as-a-service" to their end users through the Blackshield Cloud platform.
"More companies are coming to the realization that their security infrastructures are insufficient in today's emerging threat landscape," said Jim Harold, vice president, global channel sales, SafeNet. "SafeNet's partners sell market-leading data protection solutions, cloud-based services, and localized support, helping their customers develop security architectures that are nimble and able to adapt to both current and emerging security demands. The Five-Star program designation from CRN is a testament to the collaborative nature of our expanding channel partner network and, more importantly, to our shared commitment to ensuring the security of our customers' data."

Recent Kona Coast reviews
"We (family of 3 - 10 yr old son) had a wonderful stay at your condo this last week. The condo was just as described. Full Kitchen, washer/dryer right in the unit and lots of great beach gear. We packed up the rental car with beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards and used them all week. Great snorkeling and beaches are a short drive and the unit is close to Kona. We like the condo for breakfast and like to eat out one meal each day. But lots of people were down using the BBQs each night. We met a lot of nice people at the pool too. Thanks!"
"I enjoyed my visit & would stay here again. There are always pros & cons to any economy condo but the pros seem to outnumber the cons here. Bed & couch are comfortable and the linens clean (though the upper areas of condo especially the bathroom need a good dusting). There is a parking space reserved so no worries when you come home late. There was an umbrella, beach chairs, towels and ice chest available and all the basic kitchen utensils needed for a couple. There are stairs to climb and little air circulation in the room so you need to figure out the method of using the small AC unit vs a fan to cool it off during the night. (Keep the bathroom door closed at all times due to that room being so hot). The complex is older but nice and feels like home. There is a little competition for the outdoor grilling area use but everyone is friendly and met some great people during our week. Despite the no parking signs, there were a couple times guests of the full time residents parked in the car washing space that I needed to wash my dive gear each night so we had to double park & work around them. But just having the hose and space available is a huge plus. The coin laundry ate our coins and it's an outside contractor which was a bit of a problem, but the maintenance man was available and other residents helped us get more change to use another washer. The pool is small clean & has a terrific view. It gets little use so you can usually have it to yourself during the week. No real ocean access but that is normal for most of Kona. The property manager was excellent and quickly responded a couple times when called. No internet was a problem so needed to buy coffee at shop down the street each day to use their wifi. Overall a nice safe & convenient complex."
"Todd's friendly and easy-going nature is contagious! A tour of his coffee farm and conversation with this Pennsylvanian-native-turned-Hawaiian is a must! As guests in his rental apartment you will enjoy samples of the coffee, nuts, and fruits harvested from his farm. And, any visitor to this area must go snorkeling at Two-Step and visit Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, the Place of Refuge. The apartment offers basic, not luxurious furnishings and decorations, but guests will find everything is clean and the kitchen has all you need to prepare meals. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the lanai during our stay. We also helped ourselves to the beach chairs for our outing to Two-Step and I supplemented my mask and snorkel with fins Todd has available for guests to borrow. The property is a working farm which means you will see a variety of tools, sheds, and projects associated with the farm from your view on the lanai. If you are looking for perfect manicured gardens, this working farm may not be the place for you. This farm and our conversation with Todd gave us the opportunity to learn how one family transitioned to the Big Island from the mainland. This apartment is also within driving distance to a fabulous local restaurant called The Strawberry Patch. We enjoyed celebrating my mother's 70th birthday and mother's day with an excellent dinner at this local eatery which Todd recommended. Thank you for helping to make our trip to the Big Island memorable."
"We spent an almost perfect week at Helen and Ray's condo in Kona Reef. The unit was spotless when we arrived, and it was very thoughtfully equipped. The owners clearly tried to anticipate just about everything a guest could need, and it was all there. The Kona Reef complex was very well maintained - pool area, barbecue area, walkways, and parking areas. The location was just about perfect - an easy walk to the Kailua-Kona "strip" while the lanai seemed like it was on our own private island. The unit is right on the water but the bedroom is in the back, so the ocean sounds were muted enough to be relaxing. The unit has a fantastic Blendtec blender, and the farmers market had plenty of fresh fruit so we took full advantage. During our week there we watched whales, dolphins, and turtles from the lanai while sipping our breakfast coffee and smoothies. We will definitely be back."

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New OC calls up old friends
Bellefeuille working Rolodex in reworking offence
When August began, Aaron Kelly was at home in Atlanta, training and waiting and hoping he would get another chance to go tearing down a football field.
The summer wasn't easy for the receiver, not after the Hamilton Tiger-Cats cut him late in training camp. When no other pro options shook out, Kelly went home to Georgia, but he didn't give up. Instead, the 27-year-old kept checking CFL news, hoping injuries or roster moves might open a hole where a reedy 6-5 slotback with two seasons of CFL experience could fit.
Finally, it did. When the Bombers installed former Ticats coach Marcel Bellefeuille as their new offensive co-ordinator, Kelly put his agent on the case, hoping his old coach might see a spot for him in Winnipeg.
"Fortunately, there was," the soft-spoken receiver said after his first practice with the Bombers on Wednesday.
"(Bellefeuille) is the guy that gave me my first chance in the CFL. I'm happy he's given me another opportunity here with the Bombers. I didn't know anything about the CFL coming up here... so I pretty much learned everything about playing receiver here, reading defences, all that stuff came from Bellefeuille."
Kelly isn't the only player to find a chance on the advice of the new OC, and he likely won't be the last. Of the seven new Bombers added in the last two weeks, four were once Ticats under Bellefeuille's watch. Besides Kelly, there is Sandro DeAngelis, who kicked for the Ticats in 2010, and defensive back Bo Smith, who was in Hamilton for Bellefeuille's entire stint.
Then there's quarterback Jason Boltus, who played his whole CFL career in Hamilton as a backup under Bellefeuille's scheme, though he was injured for his first two seasons. After joining the Bombers on Wednesday, he'll play that role again.
"It's nice having someone that I've known in the past, so it's not so foreign to me," said Boltus, who is coming off of a season in the American Arena Football League.
"Sometimes, I can kind of know what he wants to run, but at the same time it's a new verbiage, a new offence, so we got to put it together."
Putting it together. That's the plan all right, not just for the playbook but for the personnel, too, as the Bombers look to climb out of marshy middle of this miserable season. Bellefeuille hasn't helped make any calls yet, he said, and acting GM Kyle Walters gives the final seal of approval. Still, the coaches and personnel are wide-open to his input. "He knows them," head coach Tim Burke said of Bellefeuille's mental Rolodex. "That's a real benefit, because sometimes you bring guys in and you don't really know much about them."
That process of bringing guys in is only just beginning, Bellefeuille said. When he landed in Winnipeg, the plan was to fix the offensive schemes that lay in shambles under former OC Gary Crowton.
Now, the team is turning its attention to shoring up its personnel. Kelly is one of them, a receiver who earned a starter's job under Bellefeuille in his rookie season, who has height and can stretch the field right up, who's still young enough to get a CFL career back on track.

Comments about 'What pressure from the Vatican is doing to American nuns'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
"the total number of nuns, also called religious sisters, in the United
States has fallen from roughly 180,000 in 1965 to about 50,000 in 2014."
Part of the loss of numbers is due to the long-standing tradition of
nuns only being allowed to enter teaching or nursing roles in the workforce. And
part is also due to women being denied access to the priesthood. But a more
secular factor may be due to the end of the Great Depression and the loss of
large families because they no longer were looking to the Church to provide a
stable environment when they could actually enter the workforce and provide for
their own welfare.

Curious if this will change under the leadership of Francis, a man who seems more concerned with putting into practice the Sermon on the Mount than in enforcing a doctrinaire and dare I say right-wing Catholic theology of his predecessor, Herr Ratzinger.

In my not so humble opinion it should be boots, chukkas, boots or desert boots with jeans. Chinos are more versatile. I any case if you must go shoes then a good healthy open laced full brogue is the go. Think pebble grain even.
A closed laced dress city shoe is a contradiction, go hard or go home. Jeans ain't dressed up no matter how defensively you rationalise it. Be coherent.post #36483 of 596308/21/13 at 5:00amQuote:

Have you guys seen the new range at Target? its disturbingly tasteful. Check out this pair of Oxfords: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Its no C&J for sure but for $50 it ain't bad.
They have a gunboat which isn't half bad either.
Thanks for that oli - will be useful for something I'm doing. I'll check them out.
Seems a much better buy than Florsheims etc @200post #36490 of 596308/21/13 at 6:21amOnly after you reply to my PM!
