NAHB Building Systems Councils Opens its Doors to Timber Frame Home Manufacturers
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
August 28, 2014 - The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has expanded its Building Systems Councils (BSC) to include timber framing—a specialized form of heavy-timber construction. This housing style will be represented by the newly renamed Log and Timber Homes Council.
"From a business as well as a council diversification standpoint, it just made sense to rename the former Log Homes Council and expand it to include timber framers," said Doug Terrell, 2014 Log and Timber Homes Council Chairman and Vice President of Sales with Blue Ridge Log Cabins. "Though they are two distinct types of heavy-wood construction, the log and timber industries' interests are often in alignment. And many log and timber home producers offer both product lines as consumer demand for homes that combine elements from both building practices has increased."
The fundamental difference between log and timber construction is in how the solid wood components are used. In a log house, the logs are typically stacked horizontally and are the primary building material that comprises the load bearing walls. In timber frame construction, the timbers are vertical posts joined by intricate roof truss systems to support the weight of the home. The timber posts and beams are exposed on the interior, and often, there is more drywall and other non-wood components in a timber frame structure.
"We are excited to welcome timber framing craftsmen into the Log and Timber Homes Council," said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. "Now we truly encompass every aspect of the systems-built industry."
Formed in 1977, the original Log Homes Council has represented the interests of log home manufacturing industry for nearly four decades. The council has successfully worked to ensure that codes officials, building inspectors, the lending community and others take the unique aspects of log home construction through the ANSI-recognized "ICC 400-2012 Standard on the Design and Construction of Log Structures" and other programs.

Ayrton Senna's Honda NSX up for sale
December 19, 2013
Ayrton Senna, considered to be one of Formula One's most legendary drivers, was apparently also very much a fan of Honda's road cars; more specifically the NSX. In total Senna owned three of the mid-engined exotics. Now one of these gems has been listed on eBay for a mere US$180,000.
The latest iteration of the NSX retains very little in the way of its predecessor's technology and engineering elements. However, for fans of F1, anything with Senna's name on it carries with it significant historic importance. Now they have the chance to own one of the driver's personal rides.
Showing only 30,000 miles on the odometer, the 1991 red NSX up for sale was made available to Triple World F1 Champion Ayrton Senna by Honda during his time in Portugal. As the seller notes, "I would like to say 'never been thrashed or raced', but I would be lying as you can see Senna spinning the wheels in the video Racing Is In My Blood. The car was requested specifically by Senna as a loaner when he was the reigning World champion in 1991 and 1992 when he stayed at his Home in the Portuguese region of the Algarve."
The listing goes on to say that prior to being owned by MSCars of Portugal for the last 15 years, the car belonged to a wealthy banker.
Senna's red NSX can be viewed at the current owner's property in East Sussex, England or online through eBay. Full details on the history of the vehicle and its UK seller can be found here.

Study: Which provinces are home to Canada's happiest, and most unhappy, auto insurance customers?
How do CONSUMERS feel about CAR insurance IN CANADA?
Auto insurance isn't everyone's favourite monthly expense, but just how do Canadians feel about the subject? Canadian company InsurEye has completed an car insurance consumer satisfaction survey to answer the question: "How do Canadians feel about car insurance and which provinces have the most critical consumer perspective?"
The most critical attitude towards car insurance is in British Columbia. The most positive attitude towards auto insurance was registered in Quebec, closely followed by Ontario and Saskatchewan.
Stacking up the provinces
Results are based on consumer responses and ratings from InsurEye's new independent consumer reviews platform for insurance, the Insurance Consumer Experience.
Ratings from Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan have been graded according to three criteria used in InsurEye's interactive online service Insurance Consumer Experience: Customer Experience, Value for Money and Claim Experience. Consumers can evaluate their insurers on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The results, based on aggregated rating values, are as follows:
- The leading province in terms of the customer satisfaction is Quebec, with an overall ranking of 4.10/5. Customers felt especially happy with Customer Service and Value for Money.
- The second happiest two provinces are Saskatchewan (3.90/5) and Ontario (3.88/5). Ontarians positively rate Claim Experience with their insurance provider, but are clearly unhappy with their Value for Money.
- There are signs of decreasing customer satisfaction in Alberta (3.77/5) and Manitoba (3.75/5), where consumers are mostly unhappy with their Value for Money (both Alberta and Manitoba) and Claims Experience (Manitoba only).
- The lowest level of consumer satisfaction with auto insurance was noted in British Columbia (3.62/5). BC drivers are critical towards auto insurance across all three dimensions: Customer Service, Value for Money, and Claims Service.
Why does consumer INSURANCE REVIEWS and RATINGS vary by province?
The strongest indicator for low customer satisfaction with car insurance in British Columbia is clearly reflected in consumer feedback ratings. People feel that they do not have enough choice of providers and cite a lack of competition. The same picture can be noticed in Manitoba, where consumers are faced with limited auto insurance choice. Both provinces are characterized by having only one, government-run insurance company – for example in B.C. private insurers can only offer optional auto insurance.
Ontario represents an interesting case – overall, consumers are quite happy with auto insurance relative to other provinces. They appreciate their claim experience most of all, but it comes with a higher price tag. Ontario auto insurance premiums are the highest in Canada, reaching on average $149/month with nearly a quarter of Ontarians paying over $190/month. As a consequence, Ontarians are not happy about the value for money from auto insurers.
Quebec has the highest level of customer satisfaction due to lower premiums – the average price of auto insurance premiums is $76/month. The provincial government insures against injuries to people, while insurers cover property damage.
In response to these results, InsurEye Inc Co-Founder Dmitry Mityagin says: "Not having enough competition limits choices and very often translates into a low customer satisfaction. As we see, consumers are less concerned about paying too much and more concerned about not having enough choice. Competition motivates insurance companies to listen to the customers and further improve their product offering."
More about consumer INSURANCE reviews
Consumer insurance reportings cover most car insurers and their products across the country. This includes reviews of both large nationwide insurers and smaller regional insurance providers, such as ICBC in British Columbia, AMA in Alberta, or SGI in Saskatchewan. Consumer comments give reviews context and share their perspective about insurers. Before publishing, consumer reviews are assessed by moderators to ensure the quality of the content. All feedbacks are anonymous, guaranteeing an independent consumer perspective.

Many thanks - for your comment and stopping by! Yes, we believe that consumers should have access to the experience of other people in order to make an informed decision when looking for insurance.
If we look for consumer reviews when we buy a laptop, a book, or when booking a hotel - why should getting insurance be different?
Alex from InsurEye
I believe selecting an insurance broker for Auto, home or any kind of asset or life is utmost important. Many a times people just consider insurance as an "administrative" company who keeps and documents your service but the actual evaluation of service begins when you start using their service by first contacting them. Good, bad or neutral experience is what exactly bases your evaluation for the service. The rest is showed up in this study. Good Job in bringing these survey results. It helps a lot to evaluate them

Cool goggles getting hot

(Page 4 of 4)
Like a snowboarder who takes a tumble but emerges unscathed, Skyline Northwest is back on the board and ready for a smooth ride.
Two years ago, the company had hit a slalom-free stretch, with its five-year-old line of Bugz winter-recreation goggles garnering a reputation as top-notch snow gear. Just as the Barracuda line, developed by Skyline Northwest founder Dr. John Runckel, had become synonymous with world-class swimming equipment, the Bugz line had earned the Lake Oswego-based company attention from slopes denizens.
The Bugz line had even matched the Barracuda line, on which Skyline had built its company, in sales.
Then, in 1998, the sporting goods industry hit a collective bump. The athletic shoe sector, which the rest of the field tends to follow, saw dramatically reduced sales. Winter-sports equipment, said Northwest President Rick Runckel, suffered accordingly.
"It's an industry that's seen some tough times," said Runckel. "Shoes are a high-profit-margin item and when they slump, the rest of the industry tends to follow it. It feels like the winter-sports business has been flat for many years."
Sales at Skyline, thus, flattened after 20 percent growth the previous five years.
To ride out the slump, the Runckels gambled, figuring if they could ship fewer items while simultaneously developing new products, the company could thrive once the slow times passed. Part of the strategy included downsizing the staff, from 30 at the Lake Oswego manufacturing plant to 15.
"It was definitely a juggling act, because we had to downsize pretty significantly, and at the same time, we had to use limited resources to develop new products," Runckel said.
The strategy seems to have worked. With the number of nationwide accounts rising from 3,500 before the industry slump to 4,000 today, Skyline seems ready to thrive.
"We reduced our production to balance the market demand," acknowledged Runckel. "And now, we're coming out on the other side. We're stronger for it, we're certainly better educated, we're financially stable and we're growing."
The new roster of Skyline products, particularly those under the Bugz banner, are at once stylish and efficiently functional. Take the Max, which converts from eye pro-tection for snowboarders to a cool pair of sunglasses in seconds. The Max's temples snap off through an S-lock attach/detach process that makes room for an elastic "impact" band.
The Max, like many other Bugz-line products, comes with changeable lenses. The lenses detach via a tongue-and-groove system, allowing wearers to switch between smoke-colored lenses and amber lenses that protect against ultraviolet rays and clear lenses for night activities. Plus, the serrated temples are adjustable.
"It's one pair of glasses for all sports applications," said Runckel. "We're getting a lot of motorcyclists wearing them, using the clear lenses for night riding. And really, they're good for any team sport."
And to prove the product's versatility, the American National Standards Institute is testing the Max for approval as factory-worthy safety glasses.
The glasses will sell for $69.95, and come with the three sets of lenses, the temples and the strap.
Skyline is also banking on several other recently introduced products, including the Bugz Viperz. The upper-end goggle provides an option to the massive face gear sold by most makers. With a wrap-around design, the goggles manage to provide good peripheral vision and come with anti-fog treated double lenses.
The Viperz line compliments the Vistaz, described by Runckel as a "full-face" model, and the Tazar, an extremely durable set of goggles with pull-out lenses. The Tazar uses a condyloid, or joint-like frame that opens like a jaw and makes changing tints easy.
"These are a great Oregon product. In the Cascades, the weather can change in just a couple of hours from blinding sunshine to white-out snow," said Runckel. "The lenses pop easily out of these goggles so the user can adapt to any weather situation."
The Vistaz retail at $63; the Tazar, designed for more technical users, costs $100.
At the center of Skyline's products are its construction materials, with which the company is constantly experimenting. The newest compound to come out of the company is Siltex, the first-ever latex silicone polymer that's used on newer swim-ming goggle models. Runckel said it combines the best features of each component: It's durable, pliable and hypoallergenic.
"It gives the frame a smaller profile and a comfortable fit that still seals out water [for the company's goggles]," said Rick Runckel.
Skyline is also developing a new sealing technique that involves hydraulics. The idea is that liquids move through a sealed membrane from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, filling in unsealed gaps.
Dr. Runckel is further crafting a swim cap with the same technology that will be completely leak-proof. "No one's ever developed a leak-free cap," he said. "Today, there are women and kids with expensive hairdos. Kids pay a lot of money to dye their hair. This will protect it."
Finally, Skyline is offering a new line of hair- and skin-care products for swimmers. The Aquia line, unlike its competitors, doesn't smell institutional. The products smell pleasant, much like their salon counterparts. Plus, as Rick Runckel points out, the packaging is more upscale than other swimmer-aimed sundries.
Skyline appears to have weathered the industry storm nicely. Should it experience other setbacks, the company can always hone a niche for which it's known. About 10 percent of the eye- wear manufactured at Skyline is prescription.
And if there's any question about where Skyline can set its sights, Rick Runckel adds this: "We're looking to get that up to 25 percent as soon as we can."

Is this estimate reasonable to remove water under house?
We have developed standing water under our crawl space. Our house is in NC in a humid area. We have a pair of dehumidifiers under the house to reduce the moisture level.
When we had the situation evaluated, the company stated that we did not need fans venting the crawl space outward and that because the vents had not been well sealed we were running the dehumidifiers too hard.
They proposed:
250 linear feet of french drain along inside footers
3/4 hp sump pump
6 mil vapor barrier
150 ft. drainage pipe to outside drainage ditch
24 new foundation vents and sealing of vents
The work is expected to take 2 days to complete. The initial estimate was $6780. When he saw our jaws drop, the estimate was reduced to $6,200.
Is this in the ballpark for this type of job? Should it solve the problem?
They have to remove the existing vents to get the rock under the house.I assume that they will be ruined by removal and need replacement.
I've checked in the yellow pages and I can't find a category for companies that do this kind of work. I'd like to get another estimate or some guidance.
If it is ground water the first four items on your list should take care of it. On the last item, the vents, I hesitate because if you run dehumidifiers you should seal the area. If you have vents you should insulate the floor and not run dehumidifiers.
Doesn.t do any good to run air conditioning if the door is wide open and basically thats what a dehumidifier does.

The Warriors will rest Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala for Friday's game at Denver. "They've been going full bore since July," coach Steve Kerr said of resting Curry and Thompson, referring to their time spent winning the FIBA World Cup. "They're fried right now, so that's the reason." Contra Costa Times
Iguodala is the latest NBA player to work with fashion e-commerce start-ups. Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade teamed up with luxury consignment site The RealReal last year on a temporary sale that featured the player's designer duds. Similarly, Russell Westbrook, who recently signed on as True Religion's campaign creative director, partnered with men's flash sale site JackThreads in November on an exclusive collection of sunglasses from Westbrook Frames, the All-Star's eyewear brand. Yahoo! Sports
Twice, a secondhand clothing e-commerce platform, has tapped NBA All-Star Andre Iguodala to serve as men's wear style director. The Golden State Warriors shooting guard and former Olympian met Twice founders Calvin Young and Noah Ready-Campbell through Ben Horowitz, a venture capitalist who has invested in the site and jumped on board. "Joining a revolutionary e-commerce platform has been a goal of mine since I moved to the Bay Area, and I look forward to helping Twice fuel their tremendous growth," said Iguodala, whose role is effective today. WWD.com
Iguodala was skeptical at first. "But it's important not to dismiss things immediately so I thought on it," he says. Kerr had made some good points. The second unit, so ineffective the previous season, needed Igoudala's leadership and playmaking. And Iguodala appreciated Kerr's directness. "I agreed with his larger vision," he says. Plus, he adds, "I've been in this league 11 years and I want my professionalism to be something that stands out." In the end, he accepted the demotion gracefully. "Who else is going to complain now?" says Kerr. Sports Illustrated
Tim Kawakami: Steve Kerr said there are no solid plans for resting players in the final 31 games, only a general idea to keep Iguodala and Bogut fresh... but Kerr said he'll monitor all of his top-line guys and if they need a rest, they'll get one. Twitter @timkawakami
Diamond Leung: Andre Iguodala: "The Spurs seem to be this team's big brother, and they just keep beating on us a little bit." Twitter @diamond83
Diamond Leung: Andre Iguodala on watching the Three-Point Contest live: "I was rooting for Klay, but I knew Steph was going to win." Twitter @diamond83
Payal Doshi: Alvin Gentry says Iguodala is the smartest player he has ever been around. He turns one more year wiser tomorrow. #HappyBirthday #DubNation Twitter @PayalDoshiTV
Are there any dudes on the team who spend a little too much time in front of the mirror? Stephen Curry: We used to have one, Toney Douglas was like that. He's not on the team anymore, but he'd spend an hour getting dressed. For the most part everybody's pretty normal. Andre Iguodala probably has the most extreme style day to day. He's the guy that stands out. We don't have too many guys feeling themselves. GQ.com
The only problem, at least in the eyes of both Steve Kerr and Andre Iguodala, was that Conley traveled on the play, and the basket should have been disallowed. The replay shows that Conley did indeed take three steps, and as Iguodala demonstrated this in a mocking way toward the official, he picked up a technical foul for his actions. Kerr got one too, but without the benefit of the "travel dance," his was far less interesting. NBCSports.com
When Rob Babcock was fired, if he know that losing Vince Carter was either a certainty, or a likely possibility, why on earth did he pass on drafting Andre Iguodala? I recall in the wake of passing on Iguodala, the reason given was that the Raptors had Vince Carter. But if Babcock knew that we might lose Carter, this reason vanishes! Thanks, Eli A: Rob had only been on the job a few weeks and hadn't been involved in any pre-draft workouts – and Vince's desire to leave was not obvious on draft night – and Rob took the advice of people like Jack McCloskey, who thought Araujo was the best choice. Toronto Star
"I don't wrestle with (the new notion of playing the role)" said Iguodala, who added he thinks longtime Los Angeles Lakers sixth man Lamar Odom was the best to ever play the role. "The only time I think about it is when I get asked about it, so I just deflect the question, like, 'I don't want to talk about it.' That's just how I deal with it. Don't ask me about it. I'm just going to be ready to play tomorrow. USA Today Sports
As is always the case when the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers prepare to face off tonight, that tired, overused, overly-simplistic word that doesn't truly define what they have going here was dragged out yet again. Rivalry. "It's not a rivalry," Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala said with a grin as he clocked out Tuesday afternoon at the team's practice facility. "Neither one of these teams has done anything." USA Today Sports

Kerr for more than a month has spoken publicly about wanting to experiment with Andre Iguodala and Leandro Barbosa on the court together. That Iguodala has been helping run the second unit in the preseason is still surprising to some given his history in the league. "I'm pretty shocked," Barbosa said. "I don't think Andre has been in that position before for the many years that he's been in the NBA. He's doing a great job. "We have a really good chemistry so far, and hopefully we can bring that energy to the (regular-season) games." Oakland Tribune

Pumpkin Cocktail Recipe With Rum and Pumpkin Puree
A Sippable and Not-Too-Sweet Pumpkin Pie Tipple
Like us on Facebook
Photo: Nancy Einhart
The idea of a cocktail made with canned pumpkin both fascinates and frightens me. But since we love pumpkin around here, this Thanksgiving, I set out to design a cocktail that was easy on the palate and slightly sweet but not dessert-like, with the pumpkin pie flavor I love.
After much searching, I stumbled upon a pumpkin pie cocktail that sounded almost perfect, so I made a few tweaks, substituting spiced rum for the vodka the recipe called for. I have to say, the resulting pumpkin pie potable did not disappoint.
Get the recipe now.

Making your own pumpkin cocktail used to be the only way to avoid lousy sugary products made with artificial orange color & fake pumpkin flavor. But now you can get an all-natural pumpkin liqueur made from fresh roasted pumpkins that were grown to ripeness just 5 miles from a distillery ... that's as local and fresh as it gets. Pumpkin King Cordial by Roundhouse Spirits is available to most states by shipment and it can be purchased in person at stores in NYC, DC, Chicago, and throughout Colorado. Sold in 375ml half bottles it's the perfect gift to bring along to Thanksgiving.

The HOKA ONE ONE Huaka is a premium daily trainer and performance uptempo running shoe designed for a neutral or supinated foot motion.
Maximum cushioning? Check. Lightweight runability? Check. The HOKA ONE ONE Huaka brings you the best of both worlds, offering high mileage protection without weighing you down. A rockered geometry promotes a quick toe-off and a quick ride, and a resilient midsole provides plenty of energy return for an energetic run. Lace up the HOKA ONE ONE Huaka for racing, speedwork and daily training.
Model Number: 30609030-WBLE
Weight: 9.2 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (26mm), Forefoot (22mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: Worst shoe ever! I usually run in Newtons but decided to give Hoka a try to see what the buzz was all about. I purchased the Hoka Rapa Nui and thought I had found my new running shoe. After some good trail runs in my Rapa's, I figured the road version's should be just as good; boy was I wrong! I purchased the Huaka's and went on my usual training run which is about 19 miles. After my first run I felt like my legs more fatigued than usual and the bottom of my feet felt aggravated. I chalked it up to a bad run but after about 4 more bad runs in the same shoes I decided to switch back to my newtons. A miracle happened because my runs felt like normal. To be fair I wanted to use the Rapa's again and my run's were normal. I didn't want to feel like I wasted my money on the Huaka's so I did try them one last time, I finished my run and cut them up so I could never make that mistake again.
From: Eddie, Weston, FL, USA. February 24th 2015
Comments: I'm really disappointed in this shoe. I knew taking out some of the weight would result in a less cushioned shoe, but it feels like I'm running on a hard plastic plate. It feels just like a taller INOV-8 Road-X shoe.
From: Chris, Memphis, TN, USA. January 12th 2015
Comments: Light weight? Yes. Maximal cushioning? No. Before I purchased the Huakas, my favorite model was the Hoka Stinson Tarmac. The Tarmacs have the maximal cushion, but not so much that you lose the responsiveness and support. I hoped the Huakas would be a lightweight version of the Tarmacs, but was a bit disappointed. The feel of the Huakas is unlike the models with more cushion like the Stinson and Bondi. They feel to me more like a conventional running shoe, not unlike my Nike Pegasus 30s. They are extremely lightweight for a Hoka, but I noticed that when running in temperatures below 20 degrees F., my toes could really feel the cold. They would probably work best for warmer weather running. They didn't seem to feel as heavy nor put strain on my calves like some of the other Hoka models, but I don't know how my feet will feel with these after running an ultra. I've run in them up to about 13 miles without problems. Plenty of room in the toebox for me, and the uppe r seems to have some give with helps in the toebox. I'm not sure how they will hold up over the long term though with the lightweight upper. So far so good. In summary, I would call these the lightweight racing flats of the Hoka line. I'll probably use them mainly for racing marathons and 50Ks, but probably not so much for day to day long training runs.
From: Tim, Mitchell, SD, USA. December 29th 2014
Comments: These are my new favorite shoes already after logging approximately 60 miles on them. I replaced the original insoles with Currex Sole RunPro. I only use these shoes for weekend long runs. I have other shoes I rotate into throughout the week, so I'm not really putting daily wear and tear on these shoes. I was worried about the uppers offering enough ventilation based on reviews of other Hokas, but they turned out to be more breathable than expected. I just hope the uppers hold up over time.
From: Anonymous. St. Louis, MO, USA. September 7th 2014
Comments: Great feeling shoe, but that may be all! After 40 initial miles the bottoms of the shoes are already wearing out significantly. The upper coating, plastic type material on the outer of the shoe are peeling away from the main fabric, catching everything from small twigs to rocks. The shoe is built very poorly and cheap for a very expensive shoe. Nice feel out of the box and while running so far, to bad they don't last.
From: Orin, OR, USA. September 3rd 2014
Comments: An update to my comments above--to give an example of how stable these shoes are, I walked all around Buenos Aires with them (i.e., concrete) last week (and ran around Buenos Aires, too, as well as did an hour and a half run in them in on more of a trail surface). No problem walking in them, wearing them back during traveling, running in them, etc. I couldn't imagine doing this in the Bondi and the other Hoka shoes that I've owned. Love them.
From: Anonymous. IN, USA. August 25th 2014
Comments: I love them. They are very light, and after a few runs they seem to adapt to the impression of my foot (I wouldn't replace or even take out the insoles in these because they seem to mold with the foot--after running I can feel my foot impression on the insoles), and the low drop actually does (unlike other low drop running shoes) help support a more forefront landing. In my opinion, calling them 'game changing' is accurate, not only for Hoka but for the running shoe industry. They are far, far more stable than the bondi and the previous Hokas, but only slightly less cushioned. (I can actually walk in these, too--I even race walk a little in them, which would have been impossible in the Bondi and for other reasons in many other running shoes.) With almost 30 years running behind me I'd rate them in the top three running shoes that I've had. They really are innovative; there is nothing like them out there nor has there been. Hoka did a really good job of innovation with creating and making these. The designers should be congratulated. They are my standard running shoe now. I'll buy another pair in the future.
From: Anonymous, IN, USA. August 14th 2014
Comments: So I did three runs in the shoe and decided to return them. The main reason being twofold: 1) The insoles are completely useless on any steep downhills. They slide forward to the front of the shoe and are probably the flimsiest I have ever seen. So midway through the third run I took them out and threw them away. This wasn't a deal-breaker for the shoe as I could find new insoles, until... 2) The overlays are tearing apart from the mesh upper already after only 35 miles. From the amount they have already broken down I can't imagine the upper is going to last very long. So while I loved the ride and responsive cushioning of the shoe I just don't trust that it will last and is worth $150. If they fix the upper I'll go back to the shoe.
From: Anonymous. August 1st 2014
Comments: Fantastic shoe. I have over 100 miles with my first pair and ordered a second pair. Shoe runs true to size I wear 11.5 in most shoes and the 11.5 fit great. I have used this shoe on trail runs and street runs and it works great. Highly recommend this shoe for someone wanting light weight and great cushioning.
From: George, Manteca, CA, USA. July 26th 2014
Comments:My first impressions of the Huaka are that it's more flexible than the Rapa Nui 2 with a less restrictive and wider toebox. The stack height feels similar but the cushioning doesn't feel as firm. At least not when walking around in them. I think the Huaka feels pretty cushy. Not nearly as cushy as say the Clifton (or Stinson obviously) but that's due to the RMAT midsole I assume. It's supposed to be more responsive while yet retaining a high level of cushion and I think that will be the case. The upper and heel collar really shine on this shoe out of the box. As usual though the speed lacing system is not for everybody, especially those with narrow feet. Hoka provides normal laces as well in the box should you want to cut the speed laces out. After a few runs in them I'll update the review.

Category: sibling names
We love combing the birth announcements in the London Telegraph for baby name trends and ideas.
Each time we issue a report, we look for a different focus — unusual names, fascinating middle name combinations — and today it's sibling names.
While we hate to exclude singletons with such wonderful names as Aurelia Liliana Rosabel and Tiago Rafferty Redfern, the sibling names were even juicier.
Some observations: The newest vintage names being unpacked from mothballs in England are Martha and Herbert. Some of the most charming combinations mix ethnicities (Emiko and Freddie) or match first letters (Orlando and Ophelia). Out-of-the-box middle names include word names, place-names, and surnames such as Spark, Houston, and Allgood.
Oh, and, as usual, these British parents manage to find baby names that are distinctive and adventurous and gorgeous without resorting to (almost ever) strange inventions or kree8tiv spellings.
Our picks from the latest announcements:
By Linda Rosenkrantz
This month, in addition to a by-now-expected goldmine of gorgeously creative individual names, we have two pairs of twins and one set of triplets:
Nathan Daniel and Edward Harris
Katelyn Elizabeth, Perry Grayson and Johnson Tucker
A preponderance of boys this month, some of them with particularly adventurous names, including Boone, Hawk, Jericho, Johnson and Theron—as well as girls named Channing and Belline.
We also noticed many more consonant-starting names than usual: could be coincidence, could be a trend.
A little while back our question of the week asked berries to name their own Name Ticker family, choosing only from names in the name ticker at any given moment. It was a big success and a lot of fun with some truly fascinating results.
So continuing on that theme, today we're asking you to name a family using only the names found on the Similar Names page of any name you choose.
I was inspired to ask this question by the Similar Names page for Eulalia, here. So many great choices! I might create a family of two girls and two boys named Eulalia and Corisande, Booker and Cyrus. Or I might go a bit more exotic and choose Aviva and Kamala, Dmitri and Vladimir.
By Linda Rosenkrantz
Yes, yes, yet another bonanza of great names this month—fabulous firsts, interesting middles, harmonious sibsets! And, once again, the intriguing stories behind the choices. First of all, three lovely pairs of twin girls:
Antoinette July and Cordelia Somerset
Estelle Ophelia and Scarlett Allison
Giselle Victoria and Tatiana Louisa
We have six kids–four girls and two boys. And while they are all different, most of them also have several common personality traits. They are mostly friendly, loving, even-tempered and overall agreeable. Most of them have relatively common names. They are : Juliette (Jules), Bella, Mia, Leo and Norah.
