Lefty Flynn gearing up for Majors debut vs. Cubs
Samardzija working toward 200 innings pitched for first time in career
Back in Spring Training, Brian Flynn hoped he would receive this opportunity. He was invited to big league camp, and thought this could be the season that he pitched on a Major League mound.
On Tuesday, Flynn joined Miami as one of four Minor Leaguers the Marlins called up. On Wednesday, Flynn will get the chance he's anticipated since February: The left-hander will make his first Major League start against the Cubs.
"I was really hoping to make it happen this year and get my feet wet at the end of the season," Flynn said.
Flynn spent time earlier this season pitching for Double-A Jacksonville, but spent most of the season with Triple-A New Orleans. In 23 Triple-A starts, Flynn went 6-11 with a 2.80 ERA. He had 122 strikeouts and 40 walks in 138 innings.
Miami manager Mike Redmond said he wants to see the 23-year-old enjoy his debut.
"You want a guy to go out there and just relax and pitch his game, throw strikes, and pound the strike zone and give himself a chance to win a ballgame," Redmond said. "I think that's what we all want."
Making the opportunity even sweeter for Flynn is that it's coming on the mound at Wrigley Field.
"It's a great ballpark, a historic ballpark and I'm a real big fan of baseball, so it's one of those things that I couldn't ask for more," Flynn said.
While Flynn will be throwing his first Major League innings on Wednesday, Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija is looking to eclipse 200 innings in a season for the first time in his career.
He's already pitched 183 this season, a career high, and a solid outing against the Marlins would help him reach the milestone. Samardzija threw 174 2/3 innings last season.
"It's a goal of all of [the starting pitchers] when the season starts," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's a measuring stick that you did your job and you went deep enough in enough games to get 200 innings and help the bullpen out and do things on a fairly consistent basis."
Cubs: Rosscup makes Major League debut
On the same day he was promoted from Triple-A Iowa, Zach Rosscup made his Major League debut and gave the Cubs some important outs in their 6-2 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday night.
With Chicago down one run in the top of the sixth and Juan Pierre on first base, Sveum brought in Rosscup to get the Cubs out of the inning. With Chris Coghlan at the plate, Pierre stole second base. But Rosscup struck out Coghlan for the second out of the inning.
With Donovan Solano batting, Pierre stole third. Rosscup walked Solano, but got the red-hot Christian Yelich to fly out to left field to end the inning.
Rosscup spent most of this season with Double-A Tennessee, where he struck out 66 batters in 43 1/3 innings. He was promoted to Iowa in August. The 25-year-old pitched in nine Triple-A games, allowing five runs over 7 2/3 scoreless innings.
Despite his impressive numbers, Rosscup wasn't necessarily expecting a callup to the big leagues.
"It was a surprise, for sure," Rosscup said of the promotion. "They've given me a lot of opportunities this year."
Marlins: Coghlan makes first start at third base
Coghlan started at third base for the first time in his Major League career in Tuesday's game. In the third, he saved a run with a diving grab of a sharp ground ball to his left, getting the force out at second to end the frame.
Redmond said Coghlan's value will increase if he can play both the infield and outfield. The Marlins manager is taking the final month of the season to try certain players out at new positions, and that includes Coghlan.
"We need the offense, and right now, at this point, I've said it all year: If you hit, you're going to play, and we'll find a spot for you," Redmond said.
Before Tuesday, Coghlan had only played the infield once in his career, and that came at second base.
Worth noting
• In his last three games, Solano is 5-for-13 (.385) with three RBIs and three runs scored.
• On the Marlins' current road trip, Yelich is 13-for-27 (.481) with five RBIs.

Sovereign, Company Bond Risk Falls in Europe, Default Swaps Show
The cost of insuring against default on European sovereign and corporate debt fell, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe Index of credit- default swaps on 15 governments dropped one basis point to 319.5 at 9 a.m. in London. A decline signals improvement in perceptions of credit quality.
Contracts on the Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of 50 companies with mostly high-yield credit ratings dropped 5.5 basis points to 713.5.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings was down 1.5 at 175.75 basis points. The Markit iTraxx Financial Index linked to senior debt of 25 banks and insurers declined 4.5 basis points to 294.5 and the subordinated gauge was 8.5 lower at 486.5.
A basis point on a credit-default swap protecting 10 million euros ($12.4 million) of debt from default for five years is equivalent to 1,000 euros a year. Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.

- "Her hair was lank and dull and she had a plain, pale, rather heavy face. Her eyes, like her brother's, stared in opposite directions. She looked a little cleaner than the two men, but Harry thought he had never seen a more defeated-looking person."
- —Description of Merope[src]
Merope Riddle (née Gaunt), (c. 1907 – 31 December, 1926) was a pure-blood witch, daughter of Marvolo Gaunt, and sister of Morfin. She was a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin and a Parselmouth. Merope lived in a shack with her father and brother, who mentally and physically abused her. Later on, Merope grew to have an obsessive love for Tom Riddle, a handsome and wealthy Muggle. When both her father and brother were imprisoned, she bewitched and married Tom, but when he recovered, he abandoned her and their unborn son. Merope ended up dying at an orphanage, soon after giving birth to her son, whom she had named Tom Marvolo Riddle.
Many years later, her son, with the name of Lord Voldemort, became the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time.
Early life
Merope Gaunt had lived in a shack near Little Hangleton with her father, Marvolo, and brother, Morfin. Generations of inbreeding left the Gaunts violent, mentally unstable, and poverty-stricken. Merope exhibited little magical talent in her early years, and as a result was mentally and physically abused by her father, who called her a "disgusting little Squib", among other things. However, this was actually a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Merope's magical abilities were suppressed largely because of her father's abuse. Based on this, as well as the family's poverty, it is unlikely that Merope attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, though she did have a wand. It also seems likely that she was taught magic at home as she was able perform magic wherein she was able to enslave her husband successfully which is said to not be an easy or simple task to perform, that is, she would have had to had some knowledge of the magical arts to accomplish this. Merope seemed to be in charge of cooking and cleaning in her family home; it is unknown what happened to her mother.
However, Merope's magical ability flourished after her father and brother were incarcerated in Azkaban and she was free from their abuse; she showed herself capable of significant magic, enslaving Tom Riddle either with the Imperius Curse or a love potion..[2]
- "Once Marvolo and Morfin were safely in Azkaban, once she was alone and free for the first time in her life, then, I am sure, she was able to give full rein to her abilities and to plot her escape from the desperate life she had led for eighteen years... The village of Little Hangleton enjoyed a tremendous scandal. You can imagine the gossip it caused when the squire's son ran off with the tramp's daughter, Merope."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
At some point in her life, Merope secretly fell in love with Tom Riddle, an exceptionally handsome and wealthy Muggle, and the only child of Thomas and Mary Riddle, who lived nearby. Her father was livid when Morfin revealed this to him in the summer of 1925, and attacked her physically, but was restrained by Ministry official Bob Ogden. Ogden arrested both Marvolo and Morfin, who had cursed Riddle because his sister found him attractive. With her family gone, Merope made a play for Riddle. She left the shack with a farewell note revealing what she did, and her existence was never again mentioned by Marvolo.
Although Harry Potter, upon learning of these events, speculated that she might have used the Imperius Curse or a Love Potion on Riddle, Dumbledore believed that she most likely used a Love Potion because it seemed more romantic. In any case, Riddle became infatuated with her and they were married in late 1925, running away to London together. This caused great scandal in Little Hangleton.[3]
After a year of marriage, Merope Gaunt soon became pregnant and decided to release Riddle from his mental enslavement, having grown tired of living a lie. Dumbledore thought that she did this hoping either that her husband would have truly fallen in love with her by that point, or that he would at least stay for the sake of their unborn child. Unfortunately for her, Riddle did nothing of the kind. Riddle awoke into a nightmare and fled back to his family's home, believing to have been bewitched, although according to Albus Dumbledore, he probably did not say that exactly, for fear of being thought insane.
Childbirth and death
After her husband's sudden abandonment, Merope soon fell into a deep depression and lived as a pauper in London, selling her valuables to survive in order to gain some gold. Specifically, she sold her locket, a family heirloom which was one of her father's most treasured ones, to Caractacus Burke for only ten Galleons, either not knowing that it was a priceless artefact, not knowing how much it was worth or just simply no longer caring. With her heart broken and her dreams in tatters, Merope stopped using magic altogether after Riddle's desertion, not even willing to raise her wand to save her own life (although, according to Dumbledore, it was also possible that her powers may have been sapped as a result of depression and also because of her unrequited love for Riddle).
On the night of New Year's Eve in 1926 (as described by Mrs. Cole), She stumbled into an orphanage, then staggering up the front steps of the orphanage and was ready to give birth to a son. She told Mrs. Cole, a woman who worked in the orphanage (who was the matron), to name him Tom for his father, Marvolo for her father, and Riddle to be his surname. Tom Marvolo Riddle, according to Mrs. Cole, specifically, Marvolo was a "funny name", and she wondered whether Merope had come from a circus. Merope died within an hour, and her last words were a final wish that her son would turn out to look like his father, which Mrs. Cole said that she was right to hope it since Merope was no beauty. This specific cause of her death is not stated.
It is unknown what happened to Merope's body after her death; as she had no family network to identify her corpse or mourn her, Merope's earthly remains were presumbaly interred by a Muggle funeral director and paid for by a Muggle charity.
- "Merope Riddle chose death in spite of a son who needed her, but do not judge her too harshly, Harry. She was greatly weakened by long suffering and she never had your mother's courage."
- —Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter[src]
Years later, her son would find it difficult to believe that she could have been a witch, as she succumbed to something as mortal as death. It seems she was too depressed to use magic, after Tom Riddle Sr let alone concern herself with carrying on with her life. Her son would grow up believing his father married Merope of his own free will, only leaving her after discovering she was a witch. Although Merope had a choice, she chose death in spite of a son that needed her due to the utterly miserable existence to which she had been condemned. Merope's son would ultimately grow up to become the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.[3]
Physical description
Merope had lank, dull hair and a pale, heavy face with eyes that looked in opposite directions, like her brother's did. She kept herself cleaner than her father and brother, but was very defeated-looking. She is described to be wearing grey clothes that blend in with stone walls when she lives in the Gaunt household. She is also said to be "no beauty" according to Mrs. Cole.
Personality and traits
- " [...] when her husband abandoned her, Merope stopped using magic. I do not think that she wanted to be a witch any longer. Of course, it is also possible that her unrequited love and the attendant despair sapped her of her powers; that can happen. In any case...Merope refused to raise her wand even to save her own life."
- —Albus Dumbledore talking to Harry Potter and reflecting on Merope's death[src]
Merope was physically and emotionally abused by her family, and as a result was timid and miserable for most of her life, traumatized to the point of being unable to perform magic well. She could perform magic but, having been terrified of family lacked confidence and so her magic was haphazard at best. However, she grew bolder and happier once Marvolo and Morfin were sent to Azkaban, and displayed enough cunning and magical skill to brew a love potion. By extension, she seems to have been able to effectively manipulate her husband when he was under her control as to prevent him from becoming suspicious about the truth of their marriage and resisting her. She loved Tom Riddle Sr. rather obsessively, given the lengths to which she went to obtain his affection and her depression after he left her. Even the responsibility of having a baby to look after was not enough to give Merope the will to live after her husband abandoned her. Having lived a life where she had always been miserable, Merope had no hope left and could not find the courage to make her want to keep trying, even for the sake of her newborn son. This decision had a dramatically negative impact on her son's psyche. According to Albus Dumbledore, one should not judge her too harshly, as she had been greatly weakened by long suffering which resulted in her choosing to die instead of staying alive for her son, and she never had the courage of Lily Evans, Harry Potter's mother, who sacrificed herself willingly for her son.
It is possible that Harry Potter came to have respect for Merope, because of her having different beliefs of blood purity since she fell in love and eloped with a Muggle, while Harry, on the other hand hated her father and brother and most likely felt sorry for her since she had a miserable life.
Magical abilities and skills
- Harry: "The Imperious Curse?" Harry suggested "Or a love potion?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Very good. Personally, I am inclined to think that she used a love potion."
- — Harry and Dumbledore's speculations regarding Merope
- Parselmouth: Like her son, brother, father, and famous ancestor, Merope had the ability to talk to snakes. Her son later inherited the skill.
- Dark Arts (Possibly): Harry Potter initially speculated that Merope used the Imperius Curse (which requires a powerful bit of magic to perform) to control Tom Riddle to fall in love with her. It is not improbable because of the history of Dark Arts within her family.
- Potions (Possibly): Albus Dumbledore speculated that Merope used a Love Potion to have Tom Riddle fall in love with her, contracting Harry's earlier thought on the usage of the Imperius Curse, as the potion would seem more romantic. Dumbledore thought that it would be easy for Merope to persuade Riddle to have a drink of water containing a love potion on a hot day.
- Love: Merope was one of the few members of her family who could feel true and unconditional love, as displayed by her love for Tom Riddle, Sr., a Muggle man, despite her family's traditional beliefs about Muggles. However, her love borders on obsession, to the point where she would use magic to subjugate her target, which was what led to her downfall and loss of powers when she naively and incorrectly believed her love would be reciprocated if she freed him of such enslavement. It was due to this that her magical powers were sapped when her love abandoned her and she fell into depression.
- Morfin Gaunt: "She likes looking at that Muggle. Always in the garden when he passes, peering through the hedge at him, isn't she? And last night — Hanging out of the window waiting for him to ride home, wasn't she?"
- Marvolo Gaunt: "Is it true? My daughter — pure-blooded descendant of Salazar Slytherin — hankering after a filthy, dirt-veined Muggle?"
- — Morfin and Marvolo Gaunt discussing Merope's infatuation with Tom Riddle Sr. in Parseltongue.[src]
Merope's relationship with her father and brother was a violent one. Her father, Marvolo, placed the utmost importance on his heritage, leading him to be derisive of his daughter's seeming lack of magical ability and furious with her infatuation with a Muggle, all the while treating her like a slave, forcing her to do all the housework. Morfin also made fun of Merope's romantic feelings for Tom Riddle, and laughed while watching Marvolo abusing her.
She was physically and emotionally abused by her family, and as a result was timid and miserable for most of her life, traumatized to the point of being unable to perform magic. Upon discovering that Merope was a blood traitor, Marvolo went as far as to attempt to murder her in front of a Ministry official. She grew bolder and happier once Marvolo and Morfin were sent to Azkaban, and displayed enough cunning and magical skill to brew a love potion. However, Marvolo was shocked when he learned that Merope had left the house, despite never loving her to begin with, and never mentioned her name or existence ever again, and this was probably a shock that led to his death (or possibly due to Merope no longer feeding him, as he never learned to feed himself). Morfin then felt that Merope had betrayed him and Marvolo, for marrying that "filthy Muggle".
Tom Riddle Sr.
- "I believe that Merope, who was deeply in love with her husband, could not bear to continue enslaving him by magical means. I believe that she made the choice to stop giving him the potion. Perhaps, besotted as she was, she had convinced herself that he would by now have fallen in love with her in return. Perhaps she thought he would stay for the baby's sake. If so, she was wrong on both counts. He left her, never saw her again, and never troubled to discover what became of his son."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Merope's tragic relationship with Tom Riddle Sr.[src]
Tom Riddle was a handsome and wealthy Muggle, who lived near Merope's house. He originally looked down and made fun of Merope and her family because of their poverty, their strange shabby appearances, and their exceptional disabilities. Merope then used a Love Potion on Tom, and the two eloped, she eventually became pregnant with Tom's child.
Dumbledore had theorized that Merope who was deeply, truly in love with her husband, could not bear to continue enslaving him by magical means, and made the choice to stop giving him the potion, convincing herself that he might have truly fallen in love with her of his own accord, or even if he had not, he would stay with her for their child's sake. This turned out to be a fatal mistake. The indifferent, insensitive, and self-involved Tom left his wife and unborn son, claiming he had been "hoodwinked" and "taken in". It was speculated among his neighbours that he had been tricked into thinking he was the father of her unborn child. Merope was heartbroken and devastated by this abandonment, to the point of losing the will to live, and later died giving birth to his son.
Tom Marvolo Riddle
- "I remember she said to me 'I hope he looks like his papa', and I won't lie she was right to hope it, because she was no beauty — and then she told me he was to be named Tom, for his father, and Marvolo, for her father — yes, I know, funny name, isn't it? We wondered whether she came from a circus — and she said the boy's surname was to be Riddle. And she died soon after that without another word."
- —Mrs. Cole to Albus Dumbledore.[src]
After marrying Tom Riddle Sr., Merope became pregnant with her first and only child, Tom Marvolo Riddle. After her husband left her, finally being freed from the influence of the Love Potion, Merope became depressed, and when her child was born, she died soon afterwards, not wishing to live anymore, and not wanting to use magic to save her life. She told Mrs. Cole that she wanted her son to be called Tom, after his father, Marvolo, after Merope's father and that the child's last name was to be Riddle. Merope also hoped that her son looked like his father. Merope got her wish; Tom Marvolo Riddle was described as looking very like his father, who was very good looking.
Tom Riddle grew up at Wool's Orphanage, not knowing about his family members. When Albus Dumbledore visited Tom, and told him that he was a wizard, Tom hoped that it came from his father, but was disappointed to find that he got it from the maternal side of his family, when he was told by his uncle, Morfin Gaunt, that it was his mother who was a witch, and his father was a Muggle. He stole his uncle's wand, then killed his father, grandmother and grandfather, returned Morfin's wand, then stole the Gaunt family heirloom ring, framing Morfin for the crime.
It was due to Merope's choice of losing her will to live that she never had a chance to give Tom the love and care he desperately required, leading him to grow up to become a being completely unable to understand the concept of love, thus leading him to repeatedly tear apart his soul, and eventually his death lead him to an eternally crippled state in limbo.
Merope is the name of a star in the star cluster Pleiades, named for a daughter of Atlas and Pleione in Greek mythology. This Merope was a nymph who married a mortal, Sisyphus, and bore him a son, Glaucus; some myths say that she is the dullest of the seven stars because she brought shame upon herself for marrying a mortal. Merope Gaunt's marriage to a Muggle may be an allusion to this marriage, as both suffered a resulting "fading away", and both Meropes faced mortality after their respective marriages. Also, Merope of mythology was the seventh sister, and seven is the most magically powerful number, perhaps alluding to her incredibly powerful son, who would later plan to split his soul into seven pieces in an attempt to achieve immortality.
The name is also used in the famous Greek play, Oedipus Rex, written by Sophocles in 425 BC. The name, Merope, is given to the main character's adoptive mother. As in Oedipus Rex, the son of Merope in the Harry Potter series killed his father, although the difference being Tom had done so out of premediated malice, whereas Oedipus had done so through a misconstrued prophecy that he would do so, and placed himself into exile as he resolved never to harm his kindly parents, King Polybus and Queen Merope. Getting into a fight with King Laius of Thebes, Oedipus fought back and struck Laius dead, never knowing Laius was his true father (until much later in his life).
Behind the scenes
- Merope and her family were cut from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- J. K. Rowling has said that if Merope had lived and raised Voldemort, he would have turned out to be very different, probably a better person.[4]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Marvolo Gaunt's ring is said to have belonged to Merope, while Marvolo and Morfin Gaunt aren't even mentioned. However, in a deleted scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Harry tells Ron and Hermione Granger that the ring belonged to Marvolo and that the locket belonged to Merope.[5]
- It can be said that Merope died of a broken heart as she gave up trying to live after her husband, Tom Riddle Sr., had left her.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First mentioned) (Indirectly mentioned as Riddle's mother)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (First appearance) (Appears in flashback(s)) (First identified as Merope Gaunt)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) (Mentioned as "Voldemort's mother")
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (Mentioned in a deleted scene as "Tom's mother")
Notes and references
- ↑ In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Chapter 10 (The House of Gaunt), we learn that Tom Riddle was born a year after Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Sr.'s marriage. As we know Riddle was born in 1926, this would place the marriage in 1925. In the same chapter, we learn that the incident with Bob Ogden and the imprisonment of Marvolo and Morfin was "a few months" before the marriage (so, it was in either 1924 or 1925). As she was eighteen years old at the time of Marvolo and Morfin's imprisonment, she was born in around 1907.

This course provides an introduction to clinical theory and technique from a psychoanalytic perspective. Throughout the course an emphasis is placed on the integration of theory, research, and practice. Ongoing consideration is given to the question of how relevant research can inform clinical practice and vice-versa. In addition, the implication of cultural and individual differences for clinical practice is considered. A final objective is to introduce the topics of consultation and supervison. Topics include: beginning treatment, case formulation, the therapeutic frame, defenses and resistance, transference and countertransference, enactments, intersubjectivity, one versus two-person psychologies, mutuality and asymmetry in the therapeutic relationship, therapist self-disclosure, therapeutic impasses, cultural diversity, termination, and psychotherapy supervision.

Nice. However useless for another 6-12 moths unless mesa folks want to backport that extension to 9.0 and earlier. Hope its possible.
Phoronix: GLX_MESA_query_renderer Extension Published
After talking about it for months with numerous software developers, game studios, and other stakeholders, Ian Romanick of Intel has published his initial specification on GLX_MESA_query_renderer, a new GLX extension (and coming to EGL too) for helping ISVs (and namely games) better understand the system they're running on...
Nice. However useless for another 6-12 moths unless mesa folks want to backport that extension to 9.0 and earlier. Hope its possible.
Since it was created with input of actual app developer one can presume that at least some will start using it shortly.
For example Valve may want to use it for their Steam client. (Also Valve release dev tool for their steam client integration for Win, and OSX, this extension nicely fit for Linux version!)
Same probably goes for apitrace which could be updated to use it (as main discovery method or as verification that data obtained by other ways is correct and full).
Some things about this.
Don't call it GLX_(some specific driver or something that does not mean anything)_query_renderer.
Give it something like GLX_query_graphics_renderer or something like that.
It should be able to give me:
- all GPU's
- all active GPU's
- all allowed to use GPU's
- how much ram for each GPU, how much is dedicated and how much is shared with CPU or other processors.
- if there are power saving limitations
- what driver(s) there (are)is for each GPU
- if a driver is cpu
- what driver versions there is, are
- what api the drivers support for each GPU.
- ...
do a seperate one for each api:
- what profiles are supported
- what versions are supported
- ES versions supported
- any things in non-hardware
- ...
The general GLX extension is for query what hardware there is and the api specific should concern themselves with how, what the api is supported. The api ones have a dependency on the general one.

What is "query_renderer" ???
And lets not forget that MESA is there because it IS driver specific extension. And nobody outside MESA use it. (Nvidia may soon add GLX_NV_query_renderer if they fancy, though)
GLX is there to account for protocol against which extension was made.
Now if somebody officially added GLX extendsion, then MESA can be dropped from official extension. Its called "promotion".
And it work that way so standardization body can CHANGE original extension.
All above is simple mimic of how OpenGL is being made. (NV/AMD/APPLE/MESA for driver specific extensions, EXT when some OEM's banch up and come with "unified" version, ARB for officially blessed one)
Anyway GLX is dead. :P
EGL is now THE way to do things. And EGL is managed by Khronos, not Mesa. So MESA is there to notify who is author of this extension.
Using EGL does sound better tha GLX.

What do you think of the
Giordana HydroShield Shoe Covers
? Share a...
Joseph D.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Torn on the first use. I love giordana equipment, but this was total junk. I should have listed to these warning but the deal was so good I ignored it. Shame on me!.
exactly what it is supposed to be.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I am 5'11'' and 145lbs. I have pencil thin legs and wear a size 44 SIDI or size 43 Shimano.
I wanted some watertight/water resistant booties in case I was caught in the rain and these seemed to be a good choice. There were many to choose from, but what I wanted was a nice, tight seal around the lower leg so water wouldn't drip in.
Upon reading the reviews here, I was concerned about the shoe cover being too small or too tight or even the level of water resistance not being that great.
I was hesitant at the least to buy this bootie, but I went for it, knowing that backcountry has a great return policy.
THERE IS A TRICK (if you want to call it that) to putting these things on correctly and I figured this out immediately.
First, you put the shoe cover on over your foot WITHOUT(or before) the shoe. Then you put the shoe on. Then you secure the bootie around the edges of the shoe and finally, secure the neck around your lower leg. It works beautifully.
These shoe covers do not run small, as some would like to think, you just have to put them on correctly. It's really not that hard. I bought the size large and my size 44 SIDI and size 43 SHIMANO work just fine. It's a tight/snug fit but it's supposed to be. You want these things to keep the water out so they should be snug in some places.
How about water resistance? It's only 18 degrees where I am today so I don't have any rain, but I did turn my kitchen faucet on and let the water run over the bootie with my hand inside so I could feel any dampness or any water dripping through. I held under the streaming water for a solid 5 minutes. Guess what? NOT A SINGLE DRIP CAME THROUGH.
The only problem I could see is that on the bottom of these booties there are several openings: for the cleat, heel pad, etc. There is even a Velcro strap to help secure the bootie when you put it on - to keep it fitting right and snug. The problem is that I could see some water/rain coming up through these openings. I cannot imagine a lot of water would come through but it is possible. Even then, the water is hitting only the bottom of the shoe, not the sides or even the toe. If the shoe has vents on the bottom, I could see some water coming up through there, but it would still be difficult
Bottom line: I am 100% satisfied with these booties. They are not arctic winter booties and are not meant to keep your feet warm in below zero weather, only to keep your feet warm and dry if it were to rain on a 50-60 degree day. As long as you remember how to put these things on correctly, I think you will be just as satisfied.
Trevor J
Dry (But run small)
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Wore these yesterday on a 40 degree, downpour of a rainy ride. They kept my feet warm enough and and my feet stayed dry enough to survive. Not water tight by any means, but they'll keep the water out long enough for most reasonable rides/conditions.
Only complaint was they run even smaller than I expected them to. I'm a 43-44 shoe size, and the large was SNUG. Highly recommend sizing up.
Seams already ripping
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought these booties in the middle of a very long trip when I hit some unexpected cold/wet weather. If I'd been home sooner I would've returned them but I missed the 30 day window because I was away. Wore them 3 times and the seams are ripping in multiple places. They seem to be the right size as I get them on my size 48 Giros pretty easily, but they are not durable in the least. Disappointing....
I love running, but I never do so great...
I love running, but I never do so great in the rain. What can I do to make my shoes last in the rain? How can I protect my clothes and increase my performance in harsh weather? www.watereng.com.au
Lexi Dowdall
Hey Annie,
These are more designed to protect cycling shoes in inclement weather. You should be checking out waterproof running shoes, look for keywords like GTX (which stands for Gore-Tex). Here's a link to get your search started.
Please chat or call in as our Gearheads would be happy to make more specific recommendations.
Wayne Christoffersen
Hey Annie,
Do you work for PMT? I checked out that link and they seem pretty rad.
As far as running in harsher weather you kinda just have to commit to getting wet. What you really want to invest in would be really good base layers or next to skin performance wear that will draw most of the moisture away from your body.
Here are some examples:
If you really can't stand the feel of rain then look into a jacket like MHW2341. If you go for fully waterproof it will trap heat an moisture in while you are running and you will feel wet and clammy anyway.
You might also want to shield your eyes from the rain so that you don't accidentally run into traffic. ICE1108
If you want you can get a pair of shoes with a waterproof membrane like Goretex but personally I just go with a really light and breathable shoe and let the water run through my toes. ASC002K
skinny cyclist
snug fit but that's a good thing
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Large size is definitely snug against a 44 Giro Gauge MTB shoe. Opening the arch velcro helps get them on. Ankle opening is very snug around a skinny ankle, almost to the point that I'm a little concerned about potential circulation issues with my feet. I'm trying them out now and will update with more details later.
UPDATE: Ride home was solid, the zipper garage is tough to get around the zipper once it's on which left the zipper a little irritating against my leg. Over time I think the ankle opening will stretch some.
UPDATE 2: With road shoes the heel of the cover slips completely underneath the heal of the shoe, the toe is already showing signs of significant wear and the seams are ripping. Back they go!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
In general, looks like a well made product. The large size fit my 43.5 2013 Specialized S-Work road shoe ok (a little tight - tough to get over the boa dials), but the shoe cover is so tight around my ankles (just above my ankles) that it was very uncomfortable, and I have skinny ankles! The material at the ankle has VERY LITTLE stretch. I realize it's good to have them fit snug to prevent water from leaking in, but these covers would benefit by having an adjustable strap at the top ... just sayin'. I will return for an XL and see if the fit around my ankles is better without being too loose around my shoes. Btw - The sizing on the Giordana website is more accurate IMHO.
Great Rain Bootie
My husband does a lot of training in the rain. He has skinny ankles so these work perfectly. Usually booties gap on him at the ankles. If you don't have skinny ankles, they might be tight. Otherwise, they are true to shoe size.
Rita Palmer
Dry feet
The ankle is extremly small on these that is the only down side. The fit is perfect on the shoe though. I wear them either way and it they still keep my feet dry, which is a nice change, I no longer want to bail out after 1hr on those cold wet rides.
Size way small!
I ordered these with the notion that I was finally going to find a shoe cover that fits my speedplay cleats (fitted way back). I received them as ordered, but to my dismay they were too small! I have Specialized S-Works shoes size 39, and I could get barely get them around the heel. However, that was not the dealbreaker. I have some skinny ankles, and these did not come even close to getting around them. The product is well made, feels great, and looks fantastic. I have no doubt that if it would have fit, it would have suited my needs perfectly. However, it sizes quite small, and for that reason I had to exchange it. I marked it down because Giordana should indicate on their sizing charts that they size quite small. Make sure that you order at least one size larger than you would expect to.

Often found in large cities such as Boston and New York. Mostly college students who are into something such as, Art, Music, Writing, Literature, etc. Found riding bikes around the city, drinking coffee from a local coffeshop. Listen to bands that sound like Nevershoutnever! and other acoustic type bands. Like to wear vnecks, skinny straight jeans, vans, peacoats, and shop at places like Urban Outfitters and American Apparrel.
That guy over there riding his bike to class is so coffeehouse.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 Video Card Arrives in Wood Crate – Crowbar Needed
Mon, Apr 30, 2012 - 1:54 PMLast week, NVIDIA's marketing team sent us a box that contained nothing more than a large metal crowbar. On the pry bar we found the message that read "for use in case of zombies or…" and the NVIDIA logo. We guessed that it was to possibly open a crate and sure enough a wood crate was delivered to our office this morning.
The top of the crate said "weapons grade gaming power"and on the side was "0b1010110010″, which is is binary for "690". we are not sure what the next two lines mean though, so if you do be sure to let us know! Could the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 dual-GPU video card be inside?
We used the pry bar that we were sent last week and removed the top cover.
Inside the crate we found the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 video card! The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 dual-GPU graphics card uses two GK104 Kepler cores and has a total of 3,072 NVIDIA CUDA cores! The GTX 690 features a base clock speed 915 MHz and a "typical" Boost clock of up to 1019 MHz. We don't have any drivers yet, so we can't tell you much about performance! We do know that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 GPU will be available in limited quantities starting May 3, 2012 and it costs $999. It looks like NVIDIA is giving less than 72 hours to write a review on this card and we don't even have the drivers yet! We have additional photos that are higher resolution in out forums, so be sure to visit this thread to check them out.
"The GTX 690 is truly a work of art—gorgeous on the outside with amazing performance on the inside," said Brian Kelleher, senior vice president of GPU engineering at NVIDIA. "Gamers will love playing on multiple screens at high resolutions with all the eye candy turned on. And they'll relish showing their friends how beautiful the cards look inside their systems."

II. What is Degenerative Myelopathy?
Myelopathy is a disease of the spinal cord. It is often referred to as Degenerative Myelopathy because the condition is slowly progressive. It is an adult onset spinal cord disorder that affects dogs and is similar to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease in humans.
This condition is believed to be caused by changes in the spinal cord, including damage to the surrounding myelin sheath, that is important to nerve transmission from the brain down the spinal cord. Damage to this nerve communication results in messages from the brain not traveling down the spinal cord to the rest of the body as they should.
When Does it Typically Occur?
Degenerative myelopathy is a progressive disease that comes on slowly. The disease typically begins to display between 5 and 14 years of age. It does not come on suddenly, so if there is a sudden onset of symptoms that mimic those of Degenerative Myelopathy then other disorders such as disk disease, disk herniation, spinal cord tumors, and FCE (a "stroke" in the spinal cord) should be investigated by a competent veterinary practitioner.
What are the Symptoms?
Initial symptoms include loss of coordination in rear limbs, wobbling when walking, rear feet knuckling under and/or dragging. Very often a clear sign is when the rear nails start to become very worn. A quick test you can perform at home is to gently bend a rear paw under so the knuckles are on the ground and see if your dog quickly readjusts his foot so the pad is back on the ground. Dogs with Degenerative Myelopathy will often not realize the paw is knuckled under or be very slow to set the paw properly on the ground.
As the disease progresses, the limbs become weak and the dog begins to buckle and has difficulty standing. The weakness gets progressively worse until the dog is unable to walk. The clinical course can range from 6 months to 1 year before dogs become paraplegic. If signs progress for a longer period of time, loss of urinary and fecal continence may occur and eventually weakness will develop in the front limbs. Another key feature of Degenerative Myelopathy is that it is not a painful disease because of the loss of nerve transmission.In What Breeds is Degenerative Myelopathy Most Common?
The disease is most common in several breeds including German Shepherds, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Boxers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Wire Fox Terriers and Standard Poodles. Other breeds predisposed to Degenerative Myelopathy include American Eskimos, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Borzois, Golden Retrievers, Great Pyrenees, Kerry Blue Terriers, Pugs, Shetland Sheepdogs and Wheaten Terriers. Even mixed breed dogs can be susceptible with both sexes of all breeds being equally affected by this condition.
DNA Testing for Degenerative Myelopathy
A DNA test exists, available through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) that can clearly identify dogs that are clear of Degenerative Myelopathy; those who are carriers; and those who are at much higher risk for developing Degenerative Myelopathy. However, even those dogs whose results show that they are at higher risk for developing Degenerative Myelopathy may not develop the disease. The test does does not diagnose Degenerative Myelopathy, it only identifies the presence of normal or mutated genes. One version, for dogs who are suspected of having Degenerative Myelopathy, requires a blood sample be submitted by your veterinarian, while the other requires a simple cheek swab and can be performed at home. Nevertheless, it is recommend having the test performed and submitted in consultation with your veterinarian.
III. Causes of Degenerative Myelopathy
While the majority of medical practitioners feel this degenerative condition is primarily related to genetic predisposition and write it off as having no known cure, others feel very differently. Knowledgeable holistic veterinarians suspect that Degenerative Myelopathy is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own defenses (antibodies) attack the body's own proteins (spinal cord protein). Even though there may be a genetic predisposition in some animals, a primary suspected cause is vaccinations. This is because vaccinated animals have higher levels of autoantibodies, the antibodies responsible for autoimmune conditions, circulating in their blood stream. Over-exposure to toxins from repeated vaccinations, food or the environment can also be contributing factors.
Other possible causes of myelopathy symptoms include damage to disks, spinal misalignment, spinal tumor or even hypothyroidism. These other possible causes should be investigated by a competent holistic veterinarian or, better yet, a canine chiropractor. A typical allopathic veterinarian may just write these symptoms off as Degenerative Myelopathy and tell you there is nothing you can do.
IV. Standard Veterinary Medicine Approach
In standard western veterinarian medicine the procedure would be to attempt to reduce inflammation by using corticosteroids or NSAIDs, neither of which are effective treatments for this condition. Antioxidants may be recommended and this is a good idea. However, synthetic, isolated vitamins and minerals are typically used. The body treats synthetic chemicals typically found in most multivitamin supplements more like drugs, causing the liver and kidneys more work only to have the majority end up being eliminated in the urine. We feel that the best way to feed a body is with whole foods that are easily recognized and metabolized by the body often resulting in dramatic healing results.
V. Holistic Natural Protocol Goal
The goal of our natural protocol is to stop the degenerative process that is occurring in your animals' body and to provide the body with what it needs to heal and repair itself. At the same time in a holistic fashion, we want to remove any contributing factors whether these are in your pet's diet, environment or occur during veterinary visits. Since we do not necessarily know the root cause(s) of the imbalance in your particular animal, we do know from our research and experience what are the primary culprits. We don't recommend medications or pharmaceuticals that can have damaging short and long-term side effects but instead nutrients from real food, healthy natural supplements and other supportive care that can provide your animal with what their body needs to heal.
Whether the food be herbs or supplements such as antioxidants, enzymes or probiotics, these natural substances provide the body with powerful nutrition and thus the increased ability to rebalance and heal itself. You will notice from our product selection that we focus on natural, organic, whole foods, not isolated synthetic vitamins and minerals found on most other websites. At The Pet Health and Nutrition Center we focus on true healing, not gimmicks, and we have hundreds of loyal clients that build our business primarily on word of mouth to prove it!
VI. Holistic Natural Degenerative Myelopathy Protocol
Core Recommendations Suggested products (excluding food) are included in the Core Degenerative Myelopathy Package found below.
Our "Core Recommendations" form the backbone of our Natural Degenerative Myelopathy Protocol. They consist of diet suggestions and supplement recommendations and are what we feel are the most important to provide to your animal companion for this condition. They are displayed individually or as a package at the bottom of this page along with other helpful products from which you may make additional selections. Pet foods can be purchased at your finer, local pet stores. As always, we are here to help and you may contact us by phone or email if you need more individualized attention.
Core Recommendation #1 - Whole Food Nutrition
With a degenerative condition like Degenerative Myelopathy, in which the body needs the highest value nutrition possible to provide the body with what it needs for healing, we highly recommend a raw food diet. Raw food is how carnivores, like canines and felines, have evolved to eat and they do best on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. This is, unfortunately, the opposite of how most pets are fed since the majority of commercial diets are low protein with 50% or more carbohydrates.
In addition, kibble diets are harder for an animal to digest and this is the last thing your pet needs at this point. Since proteins are being broken down in the autoimmune process (many believe Degenerative Myelopathy is an autoimmune condition) and there is usually muscle wasting that accompanies this disease process, without the right nutrition that is easily digested, absorbed and metabolized your animal will have a more difficult time getting better. For more information read our article How to Feed Your Dog that can be found in our Education section.
Core Recommendation #2 - Daily Multi Complete for Dogs and Cats
This special product was formulated with natural and organic whole foods to form the foundation of an animals' nutritional needs. Combined with a high-quality diet it provides the enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, glandular support, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients needed to support the body's daily maintenance and repair needs for healthy aging. In this formula you will find all of the B, E and C vitamins recommended by the veterinarian community - only in an organic, whole food form!
Our Daily Multi Complete provides the widest range and highest quantities of digestive enzymes, probiotics and whole food prebiotics available in one supplement to support proper digestion and a healthy digestive tract. In conditions like Degenerative Myelopathy it is extremely important that the food provided to your companion is easily and quickly digested. The digestive process can require an enormous amount of energy from the body. The energy put into digestion is taken away from that which could be provided to myelin sheath healing and repair that could help your companion get better. This is not where you want your animal's body to have to divert its resources at this critical time.
In addition, demyelination, and in general any tissue damage in the body, produces free radicals. These molecules create oxidative stress leading to inflammation and DNA damage resulting in chronic disease. The body always benefits from antioxidants, but in the case of Degenerative Myelopathy, the need is many times greater. The body can more easily utilize nutrients that it can recognize, and these are best obtained from whole foods. Isolated synthetic vitamins and minerals have more of a drug effect on the body and place undue stress on the liver and kidneys, only for the majority to be excreted in the urine without being utilized. This may be one reason why so many veterinarians feel that there is no "cure" for Degenerative Myelopathy, because the substances they rely on are primarily synthetic substitutes processed in Chinese facilities that do no conform to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).
Did you know…
Much, if not all, of the ascorbic acid we see today is a synthetic form, 80% of which is manufactured in China. In addition, ascorbic acid makes up only a small percentage of the entire natural vitamin C complex! Studies have shown 500mg of synthetic vitamin C has actually promoted free radical damage to DNA, whereas natural vitamin C present in foods acts as a protective antioxidant!
Core Recommendation #3 - Provide Nutrients to Support the Myelin Sheath
During the degenerative process of Degenerative Myelopathy the myelin sheath surrounding the spinal cord is broken down. This occurs in what is suspected to be an autoimmune reaction as the body's own antibodies attack and destroy the proteins in the myelin. As the process continues the animal goes from bad to worse as it becomes more difficult for the neural impulses to travel down the spinal cord to the animal's hindquarters. This Myelin Sheath glandular contains proteins believed to be important in the process of myelination, which is the production of myelin. This is exactly what we are looking for to counter the demyelination, or destruction of myelin, that occurs with Degenerative Myelopathy.
Core Recommendation #4 - Provide a Nerve Tonic
Since the damage from Degenerative Myelopathy targets the nervous system, a Nerve Tonic can be very beneficial. This organic, herbal supplement contains St. John's Wort, an herb renowned for its ability to rebuild damaged nerves. This supplement also contains other nervines and anti-inflammatory herbs like skullcap, oat straw and ginger as well as ashwagandha, an herb prized in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to support the adrenal glands and strengthen the body in times of stress. This wonderful herbal supplement was formulated by a certified Master Herbalist and is a strong weapon against the debilitation of Degenerative Myelopathy.
Highly Recommended
BioPreparation Microalgae Formula
This special blend of four unique algae was developed by a Russian Scientist, Dr. Michael Kiriac after decades of research. It is grown in controlled hydroponic conditions so it is the purest microalgae supplement on the planet. Its thousand of nutrients are so bioavailable they do not have to be digested, they easily pass through the digestive tract and feed cells on a cellular level. BioPreparation can cross the blood brain barrier to feed the brain, support the hypothalamus to help balance the entire endocrine system and even cross the blood retinal barrier to nurture the eyes. We have had outstanding success with this product and it is highly recommended. Select the F3+ Forte for this condition.
Our Elk Velvet Antler contains all the nutrients necessary for joint health and repair in one whole food product. But the most important nutrients for those suffering with a degenerative disease are the IGF and EGF growth factors that help to repair damaged tissue and maintain/increase lean muscle mass. Highly recommended.
Other Recommendations
Omega 3 fatty acids are renowned for their anti-inflammatory benefits. They are particularly important to brain health because lipids, such as omega 3's, comprise a significant portion of this organ. One recent study found that aging humans who consumed more omega-3s had increased gray matter brain tissue volume and development. Omega 3's not only support brain cell structure, but they increase the production of vital neurotransmitters which could benefit those animals suffering with Degenerative Myelopathy.
This unique supplement contains organic, freeze-dried Aloe vera to reduce inflammation and heal tissue damage (especially in the digestive tract from the overuse of NSAID's and steroids like prednisone), a cold-processed whey protein isolate for its ability to support tissue growth and lean muscle mass and its content of glutamine (a nutrient important to digestive tract repair), along with high-quality colostrum that contains proline-rich polypeptides that help to regulate inflammation and growth factors needed to regenerate damaged tissue.
Reducing inflammation is important with Degenerative Myelopathy to reduce damage to the nerve cells that occurs during the autoimmune process of demyelination. However, it should be done in a way that will benefit the immune system, not fight it and suppress it as do steroids and NSAIDs. Suppressing the immune system with drugs is unhealthy and dangerous with not only potentially severe side effects but the greater possibility of cancer and other serious disease in the future. Using Systemic Enzymes between meals on an empty stomach allows these enzymes to enter the blood stream where they eliminate waste and harmful proteins to reduce inflammation and balance the immune system.
Exercise and Other Complimentary Approaches
Weight bearing exercise is very important for dogs suffering with Degenerative Myelopathy. By exercising your dog you will help to maintain or potentially increase lean muscle mass. This will extend the time for which your dog is mobile. Exercise also acts to benefit the lymphatic system helping the body to eliminate metabolic waste.
In a study conducted at the University of Berne in Switzerland, researchers determined that dogs who received intensive physical rehabilitation survived longer than dogs who received moderate or no physiotherapy. Their results also demonstrated that dogs who received physical rehabilitation remained ambulatory longer than dogs who did not receive treatment. It is important not to overdo these exercise sessions. Smaller more frequent sessions may be better than one longer, more demanding one.
Chiropractic and acupuncture treatments can be beneficial in maintaining an animal's spinal alignment and increasing energy flow, blood flow and nutrient supply to tissue in the rear of the body.
If your animal's condition deteriorates there is equipment designed to assist your canine's mobility. There are booties to protect back paws that may drag and become irritated, slings to assist you in helping your dog as well as devices with wheels to more directly help your companion maintain his own mobility.

Live blog – All the action | Report: Liverpool 1 United 0
Here's our detailed take on the champions' narrow defeat at Anfield…
The Match Frenetic early on, thanks in no small part to Daniel Sturridge's fourth-minute opener. Both sides hassled and harried one another in possession before gradually retreating as the game's pace lulled. A spate of bookings – three to United, one to Liverpool – punctuated the late stages of the first half, and the visitors emerged for the second period fired up. Enjoying the majority of possession was never translated into goalscoring openings, however, and the hosts passed the finishing post in relative comfort.
Goal Daniel Sturridge (4 mins). Steven Gerrard's corner found Daniel Agger, whose powerful header was arcing towards goal but appeared to be covered by Tom Cleverley until Sturridge deftly flicked the ball between the midfielder and Patrice Evra.
Sub-plot United have spent most of the summer being tipped to recruit a string of midfielders. On the evidence of this display, where Liverpool's extra bite in central areas controlled the early stages of the game, David Moyes may yet opt to bolster his midfield ranks before Monday's transfer deadline.
Star men Few players stood out in a largely subdued display lacking in cohesion and penetration, but substitute Antonio Valencia acquitted himself well at right-back after replacing the injured Phil Jones, while Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra used their experience to good effect for long periods.
