Nike Footscape Woven Motion "University Blue" by Brendan Dunne 1 Comments
September 15, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 0
One of the best things about wool is that when you get up close and personal with the material, it has tiny variations that lend an organic depth of color you can't match with most other fabrics. That heathered appearance has been used to its fullest potential on the Nike Footscape Woven Chukka Motion's 'Wool Pack', a trio of warm-for-winter looks whose woven ribbons expand upon the fuzzy upper's base shade. This one goes for an entirely greyscale look and gets an '10A' tongue tag for the serious collectors out there, so check them out in detail below and stick with Sneaker News for release info and a closer look at the third member of this pack.

British Players Too Expensive For Toon!
Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias says shopping for British talent is too costly.
Derek Llambias (talking to the Evening Chronicle): "At the end of the day it is a market which excites us.
"We have to explore other markets, though, which we do.
"We are still going to other markets. We keep an eye on the UK market too.
"British players are very expensive, which is a factor for us.
"What is fantastic about our fanbase and Newcastle is they are embracing it.
"Football is entertainment, it is passion. They know we have found a niche and they have bought into that.
"It is getting harder for us in France.
"One president of a club said: 'What are you doing with all the French players?' I said: 'Eventually the national team will just send their plane to Newcastle and collect them from here!' He laughed - while he was twisting my arm for more money!"

On Being an Eyesore: Precious and Public Fatness
I haven't been around lately. I could say I've been recovering from the big race, but that's not really it. There's more to it. A sort of malaise has set in. I'm not sure where to go from here in a lot of ways. With my running. With my writing. With everything. So that's the place I'm writing from: malaise.
I recently read the dust-up over a review of Precious and was thinking about my marathon photos. (They connect, really, you'll see) Latoya Peterson of Racialicious and Jezebel wrote a post critiquing David Edelstein's review of the movie. I was disappointed in Edelstein because I've heard some of his reviews and found him to be a smart thoughtful writer. The quotes Peterson pulled, however, smacked severely of unthinking white male privilege. He responded to Peterson and the Jezebel commenters in another post that felt more thoughtful. (It was also pretty exciting to see a NY Magazine reviewer respond to blog commenters) The whole discussion of the movie is fascinating to me because there is just so much to unpack; the role of race in both the world of the movie and the world of the movie-making alone could be a thesis paper, but I'm going to leave the discussion of race to those that are more qualified. What I want to talk about is size.
Edelstein says: "…(the director) has such a striking actress in Gabourey Sidibe, who plays Precious, that he doesn't need to force her alienation—or ours. I'm not judging girls who look like Sidibe in life, but her image onscreen is jarring to the point of being transgressive, its only equivalent to be seen in John Waters's pointedly outrageous carnivals. Her head is a balloon on the body of a zeppelin, her cheeks so inflated they squash her eyes into slits. Her expression is either surly or unreadable. Even with her voice-over narration, you're meant to stare at her ebony face and see nothing."
I think he is right about Precious being unreadable, the character has been horribly abused and abused people are often guarded to the point of being alienating. This, however, is what we call "acting," Mr Edelstein. We don't achieve this kind of shut-down existence merely by being fat. I think that's insulting to Ms. Sidibe on several levels not the least of which is giving her no credit for her talent. (I'm not even getting into the fact that Edelstein calls her a zeppelin. Or the very problematic "not judging girls who look like Sidibe in life." What does Sidibe look like in life?) If you look at Sidibe being interviewed she is a gregarious, funny, and beautiful (yes I DO think so) young woman. She is nothing like Precious.
It is interesting to me that he thinks the mere on-screen presence of a large actor is "jarring" and "trangressive." I think he has a point, though. Good or bad, this is not at all what Hollywood usually puts up for us to watch. Apparently fat people are unwatchable, grotesque carnival freaks. But Edelstein is not judging. Maybe I'm being unfair, maybe I'm shooting the messenger. Edelstein is merely reporting what is happening in the world and this is true. Fat people are judged all the time.
I have been unable to get myself to purchase any pictures of my marathon. Throughout the course, the official race photography company stations photographers to snap candids of your great moment. I would imagine most people order a ton of photos from them. There are even options to mount the photos to plaques with your name and time engraved alongside the Chicago Marathon logo. They look lovely. I don't think I could drop the cash, but more than that, I can't find a photo I like. What is wrong with me? I'm proud of myself, proud of this accomplishment, but I hate all these pictures because I am undeniably fat in them. You can see the curve of my belly. You can see the flab on my upper arms.
Every time I think I've found a measure of peace with myself, the world worms its way back into my head. "Fattie," it hisses, "What were you thinking wearing that outfit? You don't look anything like a runner. Aren't you embarrassed to be seen like this?" But there were runners the same size as me on the course. There were bigger runners too. Was I judging them this way?
Am I transgressive? This is interesting to me because I'm not sure how I look has anything to do with people around me, but it does somehow. Somehow it affects people. I remember meeting an acquaintance from college who hadn't seen me in awhile, this was while I was at my highest weight. He didn't say anything, but he visibly recoiled as though I had been horribly burned in a fire or lost a limb. It took him a second to gain his bearings and smile at me. My appearance was that startling to him. Even though I've lost some weight since then, I could feel that reaction in some of the cheerleaders at the race. The puzzlement, "what is she doing here?" and "how can a marathoner be fat?"
Don't get me wrong, the experience was incredible and many people genuinely don't care and are generous and supportive, but there is so much of the cold shoulder when you're fat. No one says anything directly (at least not in my experience), but it hangs there in the air. And what hangs there often has an angry accusatory feeling to it. "How could you let yourself GET like this?!" "Why should I have to LOOK at you?" As though looking at me somehow causes other people pain or discomfort or even inconvenience. What about looking at me bothers you so damn much? (What about it bothers me?)
It is this feeling that we are offending people simply by existing in an unacceptable body that makes fat people want to hide. Or segregate ourselves into fat-only exercise classes and dance clubs and the like. I'd love to organize a fat-only 5K. I remember running my first 5K. It was a little neighborhood race. I imagined it would be fun and friendly and, for the most part, it was. I followed all the newbie rules. I left my ipod at home. I positioned myself solidly at the back of the pack (it was about twenty runners- does that count as a pack?) as a measure of respect. I was running my first real race. I had worked hard to be there, trained, lost a good bit of weight. I was slow and I knew it, but I didn't care, I was laughing and having a good time. I was running a race!
There was a man on the sidelines who made a snide comment at me as I passed on the second or third lap and I, thinking he was making a friendly joke at first, responded with something about the meat wagon being right behind me. I try to have a sense of humor about myself and my slowness. (I don't vouch for the quality of my jokes.) Well, he wasn't kidding. He was disgusted with me. I was bringing down the quality of the 5K by being there. This little neighborhood race. If I wasn't so flabbergasted he might have succeeded in shaming me, but I laughed instead. Whatever, dude. You aren't even running. I am. And you have no idea what it took to get me here.
Ok. Time to buy some fat marathon photos.
Great post.
Juli, I've completed (notice I did not say "I've run") three 5Ks in the last 3 weeks and just signed up for a 10K on Thanksgiving, and I am in UTTER AWE of you. And ANYBODY who would set out to complete a marathon.
Don't let the malaise steal your awesomeness. Get out there and run yourself silly.
This is a really thoughtful, reflective, and provocative piece. Thanks. It's got me thinking all sorts of interesting thoughts. THIS is why I come to OS. To read things like this.
After the marathon I walked last year, I didn't walk again for two months. Couldn't stand the thought of it. I was so so so so over the whole idea. The desire came back though, unforced, just in its own time. I have no desire to do another marathon though. I definitely didn't catch that bug.
I'm sorry about the jackass at the 5K. People can be so mean.
Fat hatred runs rampant in this country, and we're just getting started since any health care reform will undoubtedly give more credence to shaming the fatties.
I have felt people look at me this way, and I am in NOOOOO shape to run a marathon. I am trying to lose weight...we will see. You should be proud of yourself. I hope you do buy the pictures. You summed up how I feel so well, when I could never have put it into words.
If only the prick on the sidelines was just a prick on the sidelines.
Not only do people judge based only on appearance, but even worse it appears they value appearance over substance.
I don't think Edelstein was just the messenger in this case. His language gives him away. He is however part of a very large (no pun intended) chorus.
p.s. I run pretty regularly, 4-6 times a week, between 4-6 kms and even still I can't imagine running a marathon. The race itself is an amazing accomplishment, but the training it takes to get there is the true testimony of your character. Congrats!
When I encounter people, their demeanor is so much more important to me than their physical appearance. If they are friendly, warm, intelligent, funny and just have a good energy about them, I am so much more drawn to them than if they are beautiful, skinny and perfectly toned but have no light coming from their eyes.
You seem like a wonderful person and you should walk with your head held high. Finishing a marathon is a stellar achievement--buy those photos and display them all over! And I wish you could have said to that stupid man to get his skinny ass into the race so you could trip him!
I am anxious to see Precious--it sounds like Sidibe is a talented actress.
Each of us alone is responsible for our own health, and no matter how it's justified or rationalized, "fat" is unhealthy, leading to high blood pressure, joint problems and arthritis, heart and circulatory problems, diabetes, etc. When a person is aware that overweight creates serious health issues, as most of us are by now, yet continues to put on weight or do nothing about the weight already on....well, such people don't seem to value themselves as human beings. This isn't cruelty or persecution, just a logical conclusion.
So you didn't meet the aesthetic requirements of some know nothing fuckwad. Imagine the joy he must bring to the people who live with him on a daily basis? Take pride in your accomplishment and who you are. Get that picture, frame it, and hang it on the wall!
You ran a marathon! You are, by definition, awesome and beautiful!
This caught me on so many levels. First, no matter how much I weigh or don't weigh, I always see myself as fat. As a committed feminist, I then hate myself for caring that I think I'm fat, but then I hate myself for not taking better care of myself, at which point I hate myself for hating myself for caring what people think of me. I think you know the cycle. A therapist used to ask me what I thought I could do with my life if so much of my brain wasn't caught up in measuring each part of my body all the time. It's exhausting.
So, the first thing I think is, "If I ran a marathon, the first thing I'd look at is the size of my thighs." I so get this. And I shake my head for both of us, and send you thoughts of love and acceptance. They're intended for you, but maybe they'll boomerang off you and hit me, too.
And I'm tired of it being considered "brave" for actors or actresses to put on 20 pounds to play a role on the screen. They look like normal people, and that's brave. I remember meeting a celebrity once, and she was so tiny. Not tiny in a petite, cute kind of way. But tiny in a hunched, highly-strung, unhappy sort of way, and I thought "God, I'm so glad I'm not her."
I don't know what the answer is.
The size issue is so bothersome. The fact that the actress is obese and that's considered the sum total of her acting is offensive. Let's not even go there with the race and class issues.
So complicated.
And you covered it so beautifully.
Buy the damn photos.
And yeah. Tell asshole on the sidelines to get a new hobby.
I'm sure this was unconscious on your part. I suppose I'm troubled because I otherwise enjoyed this post and do know what it's like to be on the receiving end of body-based prejudice. But too often, we critique other prejudices by distancing their victims from the "real" things that (it is implied) would justify such a prejudicial response.
Fat is a feminist issue - that's a good book with one of the most accurate titles I've ever read. It is undeniable that we as a culture hate to see fat, though as a culture we indubitably are. And yet we get more, not less, compassionate/understanding about this problem that isn't going away - and by problem I don't mean, oh how can we make fat people thin, I mean, what the hell is wrong with us, all of us, that fat is so laden with negative symbology that so many of us we seem to lose our humanity when confronted with it?
Let me respond as a runner, if I may. I hear it all the time: Wow! You run marathons! So tell me, how come there are so many fat people running?
My response is usually: for the same reason there are so many redheads running, and old people, and slow people. Because people like to run - it's a democratic sport, running is.
"But you know what I mean!" they persuade me. "They're running a marathon and they're still fat!"
to which I respond: "Well, you're a smoker and you're still not dead, that's surprising to *me*. "
"But I"m not a smoker!"
"My point exactly!"
"You're not making any sense!"
"Neither are you. Who told you running is some sort of magic bullet that makes everyone look like Joan Samuelson? All kinds of people run at all kinds of speeds for all kinds of reasons. Losing weight isn't the only, or even the main, reason for running. And running has benefits beyond losing weight. So I am glad to see runners. Thin, fat, old, young, tall, short. All are welcome - except mean people. We get together before they sing the Star Spangled Banner at the race and vote them off the island. Also, they get no water at the water stops."
Buy the pictures.
Thanks Gordon, Sheldon, Lainey, Ash, Jeanette
VR- I loved your running post too- you will kick 10K butt!
Thanks Owl- most of the time I blow stuff off (or am I oblivious? ;-)- once in awhile I get all thinky.
WalkAway- -aw- thanks! -it's true- fat is a subjective term in many ways, but on the BMI scale I am "obese" and, therefore, part of the dread epidemic. I am not as big as I have been and I agree about not letting other people define me and finding self-acceptance. It is a long process, though. I like Gaby a lot too.
Thanks waking! (why do I always want to write "walking"? Maybe because you're a marathon walker!) We'll see, but I think I may actually have another marathon in me.
Wandering- I agree- and I love Sunday Morning
Thanks, Julie- just reading is enough for me. I often don't feel like a very bright commenter and just skip it ;-)
Thanks Cindy- you are right that things are relative. I've felt fat for a long time and when I was in high school I most definitely was not. It makes me mad that I wasted time thinking that. I've been all over the scale since then and...well...life's funny ain't it? I do think I need a photo or two to remember at least.
LOL Leonde- I love that- how do I get a photo of my sexy cardiovascular system? Thanks for another laugh of the day. :-D
Thanks Karin- unfortunately I think you're right- I've seen a lot of it already. There are some great people out there fighting it though.
Thanks John! (blush)
Thanks Nikki- yes- that whole "don't look fat" thing is another set of matched luggage. It is true- there are photos I could show you where you would think I was not fat at all. And there are others. According to the BMI scale I am "obese" not just "overweight" I feel like I just look overweight though. But I like Kate Harding's idea of taking the word "fat" back as an objective descriptor and not a pejorative.
WSFTC- thanks lady- your comments make my day.
Thanks Umbrella- I'm sure you're still a hottie
Thanks Delia- it's good to see you. We shouldn't let others define us, but that's damn hard work. As Sirenita said (and I love) "I work on not caring what other people think. One day I'll be really good at it"
Ok- I'll comment some more later- computer issues. Urgh.
Then he writes:
"(Outside of Oprah, who has spent millions to lose and keep her weight off, it's hard to think of another overweight African-American cover girl — until now, anyway.)"
What? So, let's ignore the fact that he continues to label with the tern "overweight." And let's ignore the careers of Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, and Glee star Amber Riley. Because Edelstein doesn't SEE them. They are invisible to him.
This is the age-old BS that shuts women down. All women. Because even Oprah Winfrey, as successful and loved and admired as she is, has said she feels "embarrassed" about failing to stay fit. WHY? And fit for what? And who has the right to put this pressure on us?
Women should be fit for themselves, and as slender or voluptuous as they want to be. I accept no other standard. I applaud your honesty about this issue.
Your having the confidence to get out there and run speaks volumes. Do what you want with your body because YOU want to do it, and not because of what guys say or do.
Wish you could have told that guy on the sidelines at the marathon something like "I can out eat you AND out run you, and I'm proud of it!".
The whole Precious thing, though..... I read the book a LONG time ago when it first came out. It blew meaway. It is BY a black woman ABOUT a black woman who is obese, hugely and horribly obese, partly because of what has happened in her life. How she comes to get herself out of that mess makes an amazing piece of literature. So I get what Edelstein is saying. In the previews I, too, can't keep my eyes of the same things that capture him. No matter what the actress is like in "real" life, on screen her image is very very disturbing. And the author of the book WANTED it that way. In an interview with her she specifically said that she needed the audience to confront the reality of the horrors that had been done to Precious and that the black community needed to confront these issues as real.
I haven't read the comebacks to Edelstein but even as a radical feminist myself I kind of think women can go overboard with things at times. This film seems to have, according to the book's author, done what she intended it to do. It took years and years to make after all and perhaps now we might be ready for it.
What movie actresses look like or models in magazines weigh is an old old story. Each of us has to be comfortable with who we are at what size we are. If we truly are then fat or not won't make a difference. If we struggle to become something else because we think the world needs us to then we are doomed.
Me,I like being thin. I hate having even 5 pounds on me. Never have. I eat normally and exercise a lot and thank God for decent genetics. I don't much like my wrinkles that are more and more prominent either, but that's something I won't deal with....
Anyway, enough. Read the book, y'all: PUSH by Sapphire, before you head to the cinema.
And Juli, hell, girl, you run. Fuck the skinny couach potatoes who dis you. But be nice to the girls who also move in the world, fat or thin.
No one else's opinion of you needs to become your own. As someone who has fought her own body since age 9, I know this is easier said than done. Maybe if all us pull together and insist on valuing character rather than appearance, we can create some change.
I'm SO glad you're back. Keep running, you beautiful soul.
What is not attractive, is skinny women into themselves and fat women stuck on couches not running marathons. Really, you ladies feed into these stereotypes more than you think.
Hope that wasn't too much to say, just wanted to be honest.
Thanks for your thoughts, SoapBox, but I have to disagree. First of all weight is far from the only health indicator. Fat people can be perfectly healthy. Second, even if weight is affecting someone's health the way to get them to change is to make them hate themselves enough? I don't get this concept. Also, losing weight and keeping it off is a lot more complicated than you make it out to be.
Thanks sweetfeet, thanks cave_canem. Dr. Susanne- I enjoy your writing very much- you are wiser now- and still lovely I am sure.
Thanks Emma! Good to be back, especially to such a reception. Thank you for reading it, aim.
Thanks Harry's Ghost (when did you become a specter?)
Love it, surly. Red wine and chocolate are my poison.
Thanks undertow- yeah- there's a whole bag to unpack there with class and size too.
Always a pleasure, Trudge.
Thanks Marcela. Thanks, O'really- I don't think I could have screwed him literally if I wanted to although it might have been fun to try to smother him with my ample boobage.
So good to see you fingerlakes, it's true that self-acceptance is a long time coming. And it's sad that we waste so much time hating ourselves. And others.
Diotima- I did not mean to imply that prejuidice against someone who was burned or maimed was justified. It was meant to give a picture of the kind of recoil he made. No one deserves to be gawked at, we're all human beings.
Thank you Eva.
Thanks, Blue- it is a very subjective thing and I've been all over the map. I know that some of what I feel is my own projection, but it's not all in my head. Good for you on going to your class anyway!
Thank you for reading, Renee- I know about that invisibility too- it's rough.
Thank you, Marc and Ramon- thanks for the laugh. Love it.
Hey Julie! Hugs back at ya. And thank you dolores- they will be good memories I think.
Thanks CK- I am pretty happy in them which is surprising given the circumstances- running for almost six hours and all.
Hooray! Sandra! I love your response. Truly- when I'm actually running- the people around me are amazing- I feel such warmth for them. I feel like we're in it together and we all pull for each other. Some of these other people? I'm not so sure about them ;-) And I agree that compassion for yourself and others is the only way to affect real change.
Miss Misk- you're probably right that I'm giving him too much credit. I guess I was just impressed he deigned to respond at all. Thanks.
totalcreep- it is rather sad how many women think of themselves as fat. icemilk- it was funny when you got right down to it which is why I think I laughed.
Hey Lisa! Thanks for reading and such a thought-provoking comment- there's a lot to unpack there too. I do agree that the point of Push is to shock. It is an angry book and I understand that. I'm not sure that Precious' fatness in and of itself is supposed to be a horror. What the world does to her, is. And I don't hate skinny women at all. I don't want size to divide us like that. We get divided too much. Mommy vs child-free, single vs married, fat vs thin- I hate that.
Thanks Maria- your writing inspires me.
Lisa! Hi! Thanks for reading- you're right - we need to define ourselves. Why's that so tricky?
Buy a photo, hang it with total pride. and the next time a sideliner makes a nasty comment respond with, "I'm running in this marathon, you're standing around watching. Talk to me when you're running too, asshat."
The main thing I wanted to say is that I consider a marathon to be a "transitional" thing. Especially a first marathon. It can change your life without becoming your life.
You are a writer. So just think about the language. Running free. Running to mommy. Running away. In the rat race. On the treadmill.
It is just my opinion, but the marathon can be liberating. But to be liberating, it has to "let you free" in some sense.
I don't like the default, American way of thinking that more is always better. You want to "supersize" that run?
If running were a job, OSHA would ban marathons. No shit. Think repetitive motion injury. Think workers comp claims. &c.
In some respects, a marathon is about more -- that is the main thing about it. More than you ever believed you could. Every day a little more. Break it down into small pieces and learn to handle more and more and then you are running 26 fucking miles.
So then you are done, and no wonder you are confused. Or perhaps, it is a wonder that everyone isn't confused. Because more squared doesn't make sense.
I am not trying to tell you what to do or how to think. As long as running makes you feel joyful, then run. If it starts seeming like a burden, then there are lots of ways to enjoy physical exercise, to get outside, to be with people, to burn some energy, and to just exist as a freer, more active, more alive person.
It is so damn easy to get stuck in mental ruts. Speaking from experience. Best of luck. Totally.
As someone who has struggled with weight all my life, I hear you. And I sympathize. A lot of the same attitudes make me mad. I think things are better than they used to be, but there are always the A**holes out there. I also get a lot of mixed messages of "We love you no matter what your size but it would be much better /'you'll feel better about yourself' /if you lost some weight! The "You'll feel better about yourself" line was my mom's weapon of choice, which always seemed to mean "I'LL feel better about you/love you MORE if you do this." Shopping trips with her in my teens were hell. "It's very becoming" was her standard line about ugly 'old lady clothes' that made me feel like a 70 year old freak.
I shop alone, now.
As someone who is slightly underweight, I have a hard time feeling your pain. I was mercilessly picked on in school for being small, including being called "tapeworm" for two entire years of elementary school. Teachers responded to my parents' complaints by saying that I should live with it and be grateful to not have weight issues.
A co-worker told me several years ago, in front of a supervisor, that I was not dating at the time because "no man wants to f*ck a bag of bones". The supervisor laughed. My subsequent complaint was answered thus, since the co-worker is significantly overweight, "it would not be sensitive for anyone to reprimand her regarding comments about weight".
My very petite mother and I were in an upscale clothing store one day and a sales clerk very quietly informed us that sizes below 6 were kept in the back "because seeing them makes a lot of customers uncomfortable". Yes. Our clothing is inherently offensive.
My mother had to have a dress made for my wedding because stores in our area do not carry women's dresses below size 4 (and in come cases below 6) and most attempted to direct her to prom dresses in the junior department, highly inappropriate for a woman over 60. Meanwhile, my plus size mother-in-law had so many options that she had difficulty choosing.
After a severe illness, parents and students started a rumor that I had an eating disorder that caused me professional problems and led to my doctor having to send a letter to my administrator verifying my illness as a reason for (temporary) weight loss.
And, finally, I highly doubt that people just openly say to any overweight person (who are part of 60%--the majority!--of the adult population in this country), "how much do you weigh anyway?" Or, more often, and my personal favorite, "what do you eat?" These insensitive questions are a typical part of my life.
Amy Rose- thank you for reading and sharing your story too. Here's the thing - you say: "I have a hard time feeling your pain" but then you tell me all about how you've been slammed with body prejudice too. I don't think any kind of body-snarking is ok. I don't talk about "skinny bitches" any more. I used to when I felt envious of those who were smaller than me, more acceptable, more conventionally attractive. I think that's what was going on with your co-worker, but let me say this: it is NOT ok that your supervisor laughed at such an inappropriate statement or refused to deal with it. We are more than the sum of our parts. We are more than our size- no matter what size it is. I think you do feel my pain. I just want us to be seen for more than size.
And PS- people totally comment to fat people all the time about what they eat. "Should you really be eating that?" is a fave.
Great post!
I read an interview or saw it, I don't know, with Tyler Perry and Oprah, and Oprah said that TP had shown her the film and she broke down at the end and said to herself, "I see that girl Every Day, and she's been invisible to me."
Well, I don't know about Oprah, but she's not invisible to me. Being anywhere from 30 - 50 pounds overweight the past several years has taught me a few things about other people. And I don't like most of them.
But you are terrific, and talented, and motivated. Keep going; keep writing. I hear your voice.
I think you and I ultimately feel the same way, actually. That people should never be judged by the size/shape of their body.
And I will spare everyone my rant on the whole "real women have curves" thing. Or the fact that in clothing "women's sizes" are all plus-sized and I have to shop in the "misses" department (which is at least not "missy" as it once was in some stores). Those things are both rather insulting for those of us who are over 18 and under a size 14.
In my race there was a cop standing on the corner at about mile 2. As we sloggers passed, he said "some of these people have no business running." I'll steer clear of the anti-cop comments and just say I just about spit on him. We don't have the right to date, have sex, act in films, buy attractive clothes, dance...nor run it seems.
F-you Mr. Pittsburgh's Finest! Me and my big old ass finished 13.1 miles in 2:45 minutes while you stood around in all your priveleged glory. F-You!
Next month, I'm getting my big girl's Speedo, because my Wal Mart suit is a disaster, and my Target suit is worn out.
You are a hero and you deserve your marathon photos. They're yours and no one else gets to interfere in your joy, either.
She said, "If I believed there were any fat people who are happy, I'd do a show about it!" My comic strip MS. HIPPS was being published in 10 newsletters at the time, including one for MENSA's "Overweight Special Interest Group," and I told my fans to right the big 'O' and let her know we exist.
So she did the show and I was on the panel. She wouldn't even let me mention MS. HIPPS, which was used as an empowering tool for fat women with quips like "At least blimps fly, bones just lie in the ground and rot."
However, the Columbus, Ohio, edition of "PM Magazine" did feature me drawing MS. H and did their own little animation of the strip, which got me on Sally Jessy Raphael to talk about size discrimination.
I agree with your assessment of Ms. Sidibe. Only, I'm afraid as she continues her film career, the pressure will be on her to conform to Hollywood's size preferences. Too bad. She is such a positive role model for all of the young, fat women in this country.
But maybe she'll withstand the pressure and, even she loses some weight for her own personal reasons, hopefully, she'll follow the examples of Queen Latifah and Mo'Nique and not try to get down to size zero. She weighs 355 lbs. so that would be a futile mission.
At 325, I posed for pin-up photos, one of which was featured in a magazine for men who love fat women (my OS photo is a sepia toned, cropped version of that photo). Sexy, like beauty, is all in the eyes of the beholder.
Btw, MS. HIPPS would have told that guy on the sidelines of your 5K run who mentioned that a meat truck must be nearby, "Hey, I'll race you to it! And whoever loses has a fathead and if you keep talking you may end up with a fat lip bigger than my fat ass!"
(Twenty-two years ago, a couple of young guys who saw me in a full-length, fake fox fur and snickered, saying I looked like a polar bear; I gave them a scathing look and said, "Polar bears kill!" They bolted, ashen faced and mute.)
In any case, kudos to you and your accomplishments. Keep running!
I just smiled at said "Larry, that's classified information and your clearance will NEVER be high enough." I figure I have business knowing that and so does my doctor. For everybody else, it's on a 'need to know' basis. I've never been in a situation where they "needed" that info.
P.S. Being a total running freakazoid I've got a soft spot for your blog.
Beauty is a cruel mistress. She is never satisfied, and even the most beautiful among us suffer when tuned in to her vicious whispers and pitiless eye.
But it helps to recognize that Beauty is also fickle. All one need do is look at images of the beautiful from different historical periods. I suggest keeping a few around the house. You may find a rapprochement with Beauty yet.

West Ham make their first ever trip to Swansea's Liberty Stadium with their first three points on the board and the cobwebs swept away after an workmanlike - rather than dazzling - win over a rejuvenated Aston Villa at the weekend.
In front of 34,000 in full voice and on a boiling day, the team were initially overawed and let Aston Villa dictate the game. But slowly the home team asserted themselves and Kevin Nolan's disputed goal five minutes before half time settled nerves.
West Ham have secured the return of James Collins from Aston Villa for £2.5million. The 28-year-old defender passed a medical today and becomes the club's seventh summer signing.
Collins said: "It's great to be back. Having been here before and coming back and seeing some of the same old faces is great. As soon as I knew the interest was there from West Ham I couldn't wait to get down and sign."
West Ham will be up against some old boys as they look to end their winless run tonight.
Aston Villa are likely to include defender James Collins in their ranks when they visit Upton Park for the Premier League clash, while former Hammers captain Nigel Reo-Coker could feature.
West Ham defender James Collins has swapped one claret and blue shirt for another after joining Aston Villa on a four year deal.
The Welsh defender passed a medical at Villa Park this afternoon and signed for the Villans for a fee believed to be around £5million.
It's transfer deadline day and West Ham have offloaded their club record signing just nine months after bringing him in.
Savio Nsereko has been sold to Italian side Fiorentina for an undisclosed fee, with Portuguese defender Manuel Da Costa coming to Upton Park as part of the deal.

Hey All,
Tacomas are very good vehicles in the reliability, maintainability, serviceability, etc. department. No major or common issues.
What do you know about the Rav 4? Reliability, etc? Any major or known problems?
Do they have the same long-life reputation like the Tacoma? Goods, Bads?
This would be used as a on-road SUV, grocery getter type vehicle. No off-roading.
Any input appreciated.

Could the part about "Trading honor points" be explained to me? What does this mean? How is this spamming?

Lyte, You can't actually get banned for friends you're premading with just honoring you each game? because sometimes they just do it regardless.
Meth Addict
Lyte, at the moment it is all very mysterious on how you get the honor ribbons. Are you ever going to confirm the requirements or benchmarks etc. ?
Now that I think about it, I never give out honor LOL. I'm so mean
Can you guys make a match making system based on honor? So the more honor you have the more your team mates have? That way people with high honor don't get stuck with trolls and leavers?
I would like to see specialty summoner profile pics be a reward for earning the different types of honor. It would allow people to show what type of player they strive to be, provided other summoners have already seen that behavior.
I don't think this honor holds much value if you're able to honor your friends too. I know there is no reward system for this yet but wouldn't it be better to be honored by strangers than someone you already know?

Nets To Sign Jason Collins
Posted By Sports Talk Florida On February 23, 2014 @ 10:44 AM In NBA,News and Rumors | No Comments
There is growing sentiment within the Brooklyn Nets' organization to move quickly to sign Jason Collins to a 10-day contract if they are spurned by free agent-to-be Glen Davis, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets — who have made Davis their top frontcourt target — still intend to make a signing soon if they can't convince Davis to choose them over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The teams in the hunt for Davis, sources said, expect a decision Sunday. The league office, meanwhile, has confirmed to ESPN that Davis will officially become an unrestricted free agent Sunday at 5 p.m. ET if, as expected, he is not claimed off waivers by another team.

When people ask me about my online scarf boutique, www.elizabetta.net, they often ask me what are the differences between a scarf, shawl, wrap and stole.
There seems to be a fair amount of confusion about these terms and no wonder as frequently they are used interchangeably.
For those who want to be fashion term savvy, here's the scoop:
All four names represent finished pieces of fabric that are worn. They can be made from natural fibers such as silk, cashmere, wool, cotton and linen, or man-made fibers such as acrylic and polyester.
Often for decorative purposes, natural and man-made fibers are used in the same scarf; for example, a shiny gold (man-made fiber) thread may be used to embroider a wool (natural fiber) scarf.
A shawl refers to a larger item, usually rectangular, but sometimes triangular or square in shape that can be wrapped around the body. Shawls are worn by men and women.
They add a lovely finishing touch to an outfit and can be worn for warmth or can be purely decorative or both.
Shawls are used to accent an outfit, to keep the chill out, for prayer and to cover bare shoulders in formal attire; in short, a highly versatile addition to anyone's wardrobe.
A stole is very similar to a shawl. The term probably derives from the ancient Roman stola, which is the woman's version of the men's toga.
The term stole today is usually used to describe a formal wrap, basically a shawl made of an elegant fabric, often not as wide as a shawl, but long enough to drape around the body.
The word stole is also used to describe a wide decorative sash that is draped over the shoulders as in a graduation stole or a liturgical stole.
This brings up the modern term "wrap" which nowadays is used for both shawls and stoles.
Are we confused yet?
Scarf. Scarves can be thin and long: think of a typical winter wool scarf. In other words, an item that can be wrapped or tied around your neck for warmth and fashion.
Scarves can also be long and thin or not so thin if the fabric is very fine, and tied around your neck to add a decorative accent to your wardrobe. These can be casual or formal fashion accent.
Beautiful silk scarves are used by both men and women for this purpose.
Men's Silk and Wool Scarf, both Warm and Decorative
Scarves can also be square; small ones, usually around 53cm (20.5") are called bandanas, neckscarves or neckerchiefs and are made of a light material, usually silk, but also cotton and linen.
90cm (36") square scarves are called "foulards" and are the classic womens scarf, once again usually made of silk, but not always. It's a versatile size that can be worn as a head scarf, or around the neck or waist.
And last but not least are oversized square scarves which are 120cm-140cm (47" -55") that can be worn as a head scarf, wrapped around the shoulders as a shawl or worn around the hips. This size is becoming quite popular for men as well, wrapped around the neck in loose folds.

You have a script or something? You seem to be arguing against a generic opponent.
Actually, the case of Iran is rather instructive. Coups (as opposed to popular uprisings) resolve quickly (succeeding or failing within a matter of days) and, if successful, result in a quick and vigorous political clampdown. Exactly how one would expect a small number of powerful parties to execute a power play, as opposed to a large, grass-roots upswell of not very powerful people. See the Arab Spring and colour revolutions for examples of the latter (not quickly resolved, no quick and vigorous political clampdown).
Of course you continue to ignore my central point – censorship and the labelling of all opposition as foreign agents is only ever done by oppressive regimes.
Mind you, where did I write "of the great US spreading freedom around the world"?
In reality all politics is local and in a country where ultimately only naked power is respected, Mr Putin and his allies know that they have lost the perception of invincibility they had and are now merely taking steps to keep their hands on the levers of power in Russia. To those in power go all the spoils and Mr Putin knows that if he foes not keep a tight grip then the result for him is the wilderness.
Institutional corruption can hardly form without individuals of questionable integrity.
American people are so badly brainwashed : they only knofw what their "free" media wanet them to know; believe what their "free" media want them to believe; say only what "free" media want them to say. I bet 95+% of them never heard of H.R.347.
In U.S, it is the rich-run media control information, not government. So it doesn't mean you can speak freely when you bash goverment. What if you say something that the rich-run media? Google anita dunn.
Stalin turned the Soviet Union into an industrial superpower and created universal education, a military fit to fight off the Nazis, and erected new cities.
Putin turned Russia into oil state and created.......?
At least Stalin had a vision of the future and the will and ability to achieve it.
For Putin, the best that can be said is that he is fairly benign as far as Russian leaders go.
Stalin is irrelevant. Putin is the only thing preventing the US from colonising Russia they way they did with Ukraine by using Tymoshenko. Why do you suppose "The West" is so supportive of their puppet and so displeased 'the people' removed her?
Russia suffered bitterly by having a so-called "democracy" forced onto them when the nation had no ability to deal with that kind of government. Putin is dealing with his nation in exactly the correct way.
In any case, it's their business, not ours.
Mr Putin, you are an undisputable genius, in repressing and oppressing your people. The whole country shall endorse your policy, despite people's will, in order to strengthen your power. Opposing it, putting it into question, that would just be an offence towards you, which could hardly be healed. When nobody, amid your citizens, will ever be going to arouse trouble, you will be fine again, bold and defying, ready again to mob the whole world, together with China. Afterwards you shall, of course, get rid of China as well; that will be another matter, you will think on this purpose thereafter, will you?
But before to squeeze, you need to suppress.
It is a base of hydrogen fusion - to put everybody into a liquid form.
If Kruschev should not stand against A. Sakharov at sixties, maybe we should have a plenty hydrogen bombs near borders of USA. And who knows, maybe Great Britain should gain back it right to America's land on base of cooperation with USSR.
So, be patient, please.
You're not living up to your name, Tony. There's nothing very "bright" in your comments.
Are you really so naive as to ask such juvenile and innocent questions, or are you hoping other readers are that naive and you can mislead them?
And, according to you, anyone seeing danger in US interference in other governments, is just hallucinating?
Cute. Another CIA sock puppet making his rounds.
Dictatorship thuggery is a hallmark of the degeneracy that is Communism.
Come on, few people disputed, if ever, what the U.S, may have been doing. However that is not the topic on this article; fingering any other country is just the usual, mean and foolishly ideological way, just to dribble the argument. Now the topic is Russia.
Please, we are speaking about Russia, not about any other argument somebody may think would legitimize this country, yet not finding any good purpose on it, just turning our attention on somebody else's presumed responsibility.
Come on, have a little courage on your assertion and belief.
The U.S. law you mention targets Iran. The Russian law was global in nature - it doesn't just target the U.S. Not quite the same.
As for the U.S. not funding NGO's in GB, Netherlands, Australia etc - these countries aren't really in need of American assistance in any way.
Thank you for your comments.
Your first paragraph and your instincts were correct.
Again, I was told that Putin was a "smoother" version of Stalin, which he is. He is pure evil; do not kid yourself.
Lastly, Putin is killing people, but not in the numbers that Stalin killed them . . . yet.
Evil is evil.
See http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/the-silent-voices-of-stalin%... (see also the comments beneath the article)
To further clarify the difference:
Again, a dictator he may be, but I believe Putin wishes for the best for his country. He does want Russia to do well, he just thinks autocracy is the best route (right or wrong).
Stalin, on the other hand, had no particular desire to improve Russia in any way. He was pure megalomaniac - all the peoples of the Soviet Union were simply puppets for him to manipulate.
>>According to you, the only alternative to your "democracy" is a 'decrepit, authoritarian regime run by incompetent, self-serving, self-glorifying and fear-mongering rulers-for-life'.<<
Not really - which goes to show how great your comprehension skills are. Nowhere did I say that these are the "only" two possible alternatives.
>>Wow. Sounds like George Bush, except for the 'life' part.<<
Well, and the authoritarian part – open and vicious criticism of Bush by the democrats was never in any way stymied. Of course, the "authoritarian" and "for life" parts are pretty much the ONLY ones that matter. No problem with bad leaders (all humans are full of flaws) if it is easy to point out those flaws and kick the bad leaders out.
As to the rest of your claims, they really would be better made if they were more specific. After all, you're talking about my arguments on this thread – specific identification and rebuttal should be something even someone of your intellect could manage.
such people don't need a doctor as much as they need to feel quiet and read, never take for granted what they hear from their criminally rhetoric mentors. He has simply been haunted by his regime's propaganda, he is doing that same job. Ideology and propaganda are of course the worst death tools ever. There are however a lot of people - yet - who even believe that would be the way to further civil progress.
When they shout about something dangerous or somebody doing wrong, they can be comparisoned to a thief trying to call everybody's attention on the robbery just done, in order to prevent anyone's suspicion on himself.
Ukraine's 'Orange Revolution', all the other 'color revolutions', the 'Jasmine Revolution', the entire 'Arab Spring', began how, according to you?
They were all domestic, indigenous, spontaneous uprisings by the locals? Syria today is happening all by itself?
Too bad about Libya; the US tried and failed, so they had to send in the military to do the job there.
Where did you get the foolish idea that "the American people" would benefit from anything the US government does? How did the people benefit from Iraq? How did they benefit from Guantanamo?
I suppose you have never heard of the VOA, and similar. What do you suppose their purposes were?
"Repressive autorcrats"? Are you aware that the US has overthrown more than 45 governments (at last count) for the purpose of installing a dictator who was more amenable to the looting of his country? Have you never heard of the School of the Americas?
You must live in a very uninformed world.
Your mocklng "bunch of staged random protests" statement suggests either astonishing ingnorance or your day job as a CIA sock puppet.
Slaandjivaa! I hope one day you'll afford it yourself. There are a lot of vacancies on Russian construction sites where Ukrainians can improve their financial status.
"Glasnost" was a policy that called for increased openness and transparency in government institutions and activities in the Soviet Union introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s. Vlad seem to use the Swiss German term "Süßmost" a drink made by crushing apples, not people.
And who should decide where it is, and isn't, limited? You?
The electoral system is a bit complex, but, that aside, for all practical purposes, Americans do elect their president.

I will get any song for my MP3 player that you say I should (giftcard for birthday). I have around 1000 songs to fill.
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni – Adagio in G minor.
By the way, I don't expect to fill all of them.
Rick Roll by Rick Astley im surprised i was the first to say that
Pimp, that was one of the first songs I got.
Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry
It's not 'Rick Roll', it's 'Never gonna give you up', which means you get rickrolled; the song itself isn't called that.

Now that BBQ season is here, it's a good idea to remind one and all of the tremendous significance of these cookouts in the fabric of society, and that men have barbecued meat from the dawn of civilization. Keep up the tradition, men!
It's the only cooking a real man will do. When a man decides to barbecue, the following chain of events is set in motion:
1) The wife buys the food.
2) The wife makes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.
3) The wife prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill -- beer in hand.
Here comes the important part...
More routine....
5) The wife goes inside to organize plates and utensils.
6) The wife comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again ....
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO HIS WIFE. He
accepts the beer and returns to his lounger to review the operation and how he can improve it next time.
More routine.....
8) The wife brings plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, and sauces to the table.
9) After eating, the wife clears the table and loads the dishwasher.
And finally...
10) As guests leave, everyone thanks the man and praises his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks his wife how she enjoyed her "night off." Noting her
annoyed reaction, he concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — When Deputy Jason Weber was shot down on Bisbee Street on Wednesday morning, Klamath County Sheriff Frank Skrah quickly rushed to the scene.
"I saw a citizen out there with a towel, wrapped around him. I don't even know what the guys name was. I know where he lives and I'm going to find him and I am going to thank him," said Sheriff Skrah.
That resident was Michael Cooper, who heard the whole event unfold right in front of his home. Cooper rushed to the deputy's side and did his best to try to stop the bleeding.
"I seen he was bleeding at that time from the face real bad. so I got him to hold still and get him onto the front of the car. I started checking him out, and I saw he had another wound besides the face wound on his side," said Cooper.
Cooper held towels on Weber until help arrived. The sheriff said Cooper's efforts may have helped save Weber's life.
"This guy didn't know Weber, but he's there doing what he can. That's the quality of people," said Skrah.
After the incident, Cooper says he was shaken, and realized he was covered in blood, but he says he was glad to be there and to help out.
"It's just something I would do for anybody," said Cooper.

A new group started late last year hopes to be a major contributor to the ongoing fortunes of the Spencer County Public Library. The Friends of the Spencer County Public Library started in October, and already they have 17 active members, with continuing hopes to grow in the near future. Friends president Carla Fisher said that the group started as an idea discussed by members of the library's "Sassy Readers" club.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court took another look at the Salt River Bridge issue Monday, by approving a resolution support the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's current plan for the bridge by a 4-1 vote. The court had previously unanimously approved a resolution asking the cabinet to consider an alternate proposal for the project. Spencer County Judge Executive John Riley cast the lone no vote on the measure stating that the current resolution is "180 degrees different" from the resolution unanimously approved by the court on Jan. 5.
Like many gardeners this time of the year, I have been spending cold winter evenings by the fire with a good catalog. The seed catalogues fill the mailbox and I barely make it up the driveway without taking a peak at what's offered for 2015.
Unusual items fascinate me. It's a challenge to find out what they are, where they came from and how old they are. Claude Brock, Sr., found a heavy, hornshaped "thing" down by the Salt River a few years ago, Dolly brought it down to the Spencer Magnet office for me to examine, but I could shed no light on what it is.
Sen. Jimmy Higdon
This week marks the second week that a fire has disrupted our newspaper production schedule. Regular readers of the Spencer Magnet are aware that last week, a fire at our plant in Shepherdsville required us to produce the paper several hours away in Tell City, Indiana. Because of the change, we were required to print only one section of the newspaper. The distance also disrupted our normal smooth delivery schedule resulting in late arrivals for most people's newspaper last week.

He said, "This is very great. I am immensely grateful to you."
Almost twice or thrice a week I would write a letter, and he would take the letter and hand it over to the girl. She smiled, because this was becoming a strange drama. And she knew my handwriting.
I told her, "It is very unkind not to answer his letters."
But she said, "You are getting me into more and more of a mess."
I said, "Don't be worried, I will get you out any moment. The day you want to get out, just slap him and that will do."
So it continued for a few months. She started writing beautiful letters to him, and he would come running and show to everybody what a great love was flowering. Finally the moment came - the girl slapped him.
But he said, "This is very irrational. I will go to my master, who has been teaching me how to love, and ask him what has happened."
He came back and I told him, "I was just giving you a chance - perhaps you can learn something - but you seem to be incapable of learning anything. It is finished."
He said, "My God, and what about the letters that I have written?"
I said, "What will you do with those letters?"
He said, "I can't write those letters, so I'm going to take them and try them on another girl." And he was rejected from everywhere, because everybody by and by came to know that the handwriting was mine, the letter was mine, and this fool was not even aware what love is!
Response is not out of the past. You don't have to learn it, you don't have to be taught it; it comes out of your silence, your serenity, on its own accord. Hence I say that many of your acts are not acts, because they are coming from the memory - they are reactions. The authentic act comes from your consciousness.
So the first thing is, change the wrong connotation of responsibility. The mother says, "You have a responsibility to take care of me"; the father says, "You have a responsibility to take care of me"; the whole family says, "You have a responsibility, a duty.."
I had a very deep, intimate contact with my father. He was a rare man - because whatever I said would have irritated any father, but he always pondered over it, contemplated it. I said, "Listen, I don't have any responsibility for you. You never asked if you could give birth to me. That was the point when we could have made a contract: 'This is going to be my responsibility..' You have brought me into existence without even asking me. It is your responsibility, not mine. If something goes wrong you will be responsible for it."

The "free and clear" designation on the label is usually a pretty good indicator. My husband is very sensitive to laundry detergent, so we always buy the "free and clear" kind. It doesn't have to be the most expensive kind, either. Any detergent that doesn't have colors or perfumes in it works for us.
My husband broke out in hives after we used a new laundry detergent, so we've been using the free and clear kind ever since. Most brands have a free and clear version, so it's usually pretty easy to find. The packaging is usually all white, too, so it stands out.
