It's no secret that 1955 Chevrolets are some of the most popular classics in existence. Since RK Motors Charlotte sells some of the nicest collector cars on the planet, we've recently featured some fine 'tri-fives' that have fetched some serious money. You may remember this LS6 powered showstopper we sold late last year for $109k. Or perhaps this 999-point national award winner that left for $119k without breaking a sweat. And since our enthusiasts can't seem to get enough of Chevrolet's legendary '55, we're bringing you yet another top notch Bel Air that is truly in a league of its own. The recipient of an extensive frame-off rotisserie restoration, this car has to be the nicest custom 1955 Chevrolet we have featured. With a fuel-injected big block, world class body and paint work and a custom interior worthy of a multi-million dollar exotic, it's a near-perfect execution of modern build ideals and classic good looks. If you're ready to dominate the show circuit, look no further.
Like many builds, this one started with little more than a clean shell in primer. With a clear vision in mind, countless hours were invested in subtle custom body work that takes this car to the next level. The more obvious body modifications such as shaved door handles and a smoothed cowl vent are easily spotted but, like any good custom, the beauty is in the details. Further inspection reveals the firewall has been smoothed and recessed to accommodate the big block. Inner fender wells were also smoothed, offering the engine bay an impressive custom look. The thoughtful details continue underneath the car where even the floor pans have been smoothed and painted body color. Regardless if you're beside, under, or on top of this car, every angle is laser straight. All of this body work is covered by an impeccable two-tone paint scheme that utilizes PPG's Mercedes Silver and Tuxedo Black. The paintwork is free of imperfections and shows remarkably well in even the harshest of light.
To keep up with the sleek and simple design, trim was kept to a bare minimum. You won't find side mirrors, hood ornaments, rocker trim, an antenna or any other piece of extraneous chrome on this '55. What you will find are several custom pieces of brightwork in better-than-showroom condition. A custom front bumper resides under the Ferrari-inspired wide-mouth grill while modern halogen headlights round out the hyper-clean front end. Traditional side moldings serve to break up the silver and black paint while adding just the right amount of flash. Out back, a station wagon bumper brings the license plate mount down from the decklid. giving the trunk a smooth custom look. If something seems different around the A-pillar, it's the deleted side-vent window. Check out one of our other '55 Chevrolets that retains that window and then come back to this one. It may seem like a small change but it modernizes the car in a big way.
Lift the shaved hood and you'll find an immaculate bay. Nearly every piece is either polished, chromed, or painted. Up front, a polished PRC aluminum core support, radiator and condenser keeps everything cool while setting the tone for the rest of the engine compartment. At center stage, there's a GM Performance 502 V8 block stuffed with forged internals. A Hilborn EFI unit controlled by a F.A.S.T programmable ECU handles fuel delivery while giving the 502 some street manners. Despite the touch of technology, wiring has been expertly hidden from plain sight. On the front of the block, you'll find a chrome serpentine setup running all the creature comfort items such as the Vintage Air compressor. Who says going fast means being uncomfortable? A set of custom finned valve covers with traditional Chevrolet script add a touch of the nostalgia to the otherwise modern bay. The big block breathes through a set of long tube headers that feed into a thermal coated true dual exhaust with a pair of Flowmaster mufflers doing what they can to quiet the rumble.
Supporting all that horsepower is a Keisler Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a Lakewood scatter-proof bell housing and an 11-inch hydraulic clutch. From there, power is channeled into a polished Currie 9-inch rear end housing 4.11 gears. When your right foot digs a little too deep into the throttle, a set of CalTrac-style traction bars do their part to keep the back end planted. When the roads get twisty, cornering capabilities are provided by a Heidt's Super Ride front suspension with 2" drop spindles in front and 3" drop leafs in the rear. Large front and rear sway bars are also in place. Stopping power is provided by a Wilwood disc brake system with slotted rotors on all four corners while a set of 17" x 8" / 20" x 10" American Racing Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich G-force tires make final contact with the road. With a fully powder coated frame and a thermal coated gas tank to match the exhaust, the undercarriage is every bit as show worthy as the rest of this Bel Air.
Inside, the sleek modern look continues with a masterful red leather interior stitched by Chuck Hanna of Hot Rod Interiors. If you're familiar with Hanna's work, you already know that absolutely no corners have been cut inside this '55. The dash retains a familiar shape but is a custom fabricated piece with Dakota Digital gauges and minimalistic knobs that control the Vintage Air unit. An adjustable Flaming River steering column is topped with a custom three spoke steering wheel that matches the vehicle's attitude perfectly. Every where the eye goes, there are new details to be found: A certain pattern repeated on the door handles and seat buttons, a distinctive type of mesh applied to the rear speaker grill, door panels and kick panels. This is smart design that easily crosses the line into art. Of course there are plenty of modern conveniences such as LED interior lighting and a hidden Pioneer head unit that make this Chevy as comfortable to live with as any other modern vehicle.
With such an extensive build it's fair to expect documentation. In this case, there is plenty of it. The Bel Air comes with a photo album full of build pictures as well as a massive pile of brochures, manuals and part numbers for nearly every piece on the car. Should you ever have a question about how something went together, your answer is provided. There is also a healthy list of awards the car has won including:
Street Rodder Top 100 Pick 2011
Super Chevy 2011 Gold Class
Top 25 Shades of the Past 2011
This 1955 Bel Air is one of those ideal situations for a buyer. Someone else has already ran through at least a few high-limit credit cards and countless man hours building and sorting out an absolutely stunning car. All you have to do is buy it, show it and enjoy the endless string of praise this proven show winner is guaranteed to bring in. If you've always wanted a custom '55 and demand the best, we have your car. Don't miss this opportunity. Call today!

VA moves mobile from concept to reality with veteran homelessness app
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 7:07am EST
In the eight months since the Office of Management and Budget released the Digital Government Strategy, agencies have been busy putting the building blocks in place to incorporate and innovate with mobile computing.
For instance, the Homeland Security Department published in August the security baseline framework, and it plans on releasing part two later this spring.
The Chief Information Officer's Council issued a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) guidance for agencies to consider as they move toward this new approach to smartphones and tablets.
But the real impact of the Digital Government Strategy isn't any guidance or document, but how agencies use the concepts to respond to mission needs. And there may be no better example of that impact than what the departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development did over the last two weeks.
VA and HUD created a mobile application to make it easier for employees to count homeless veterans as part of their annual point-in-time survey.
"During the last two weeks of January, starting now, they will be out in the field with this application in some cases, this is really a pilot, to use this application to collect some basic demographic information using the geolocator on the iPhone to find out what your location is when possible," said Dave Peters, VA's assistant deputy CIO for development management, at the Federal Mobile Computing Summit Wednesday in Washington. "The data will be stored on the phone temporarily until cellular coverage is reestablished and then sent off to the VA database."
Peters said VA and HUD not only developed the app, but got it through all the major hurdles so it could be deployed in time for the two-week survey.
"We had the right customer, very engaged. The pressure helped I think in this case. Without a lot of time to argue, things get done," he said. "We also had great support from our management structure, our leadership through [Assistant Secretary in the Office of Information and Technology and CIO] Roger Baker, and their willingness to get engaged and support the waivers in the cases where we needed it."
Spurring innovation through mobile
The approach VA and HUD took shows the beginnings of the necessary culture change to do what the Obama administration has been pushing for, to innovate and do more with less through mobile.
"What are we doing to spur innovation? We set standards for agencies to take off and run," said Lisa Schlosser, the federal deputy CIO. "We published in May the Digital Government Strategy, which we believe is forward thinking and leaning. It sets out the way we will approach digital government."
The document laid out multiple milestones over three, six and 12 month timeframes. Each goal adds another brick down the path toward easing the process to create apps and use mobile devices.
"There's been a lot of collaboration around mobile security, and now we have a more common understanding how we talk about mobile security, the risks in the mobile environment and how we can tailor those risks to our mission," said Rick Holgate, CIO at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives inside the Justice Department. "We've also seen an emphasis on adopting common platforms across agencies."
VA is trying to adopt not only common platforms, but a standard approach mobile app development.
Peters said the work with HUD shows what the future path could look like.
"I would very much like more apps done in this manner, when appropriate. We were under tremendous pressure to get this out in such a short period of time that I couldn't imagine this working in any other way. If you wanted to talk about developing a business requirement, for instance, the entire two weeks would've been eaten up by that alone. It would have been impossible to develop something like this in that manner."
New governance model at VA
To continue moving down the path laid by their work with HUD, VA is developing a new governance model for mobile applications. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the CIO's office are creating a joint governance board to manage the mobile apps development process.
Peters said this is not a board to oversee pilot programs with mobile devices, but the actual software development process.
"In the past, only OIT and product development would be allowed to develop applications. We recognized that in this current environment we want to use any resources we can, and working with VHA, who has a great interest in developing mobile apps and resources, we created this joint board," he said. "Eventually, it will include Veterans Benefits Administration and the Cemeteries Administration as well. We are just getting started in the talks, working through the initial documentation, putting together an integrated project team to review the documents, and eventually all mobile apps regardless of the source will come through this organization."

The Onslow County Commissioners on Thursday passed the budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year by a 3-2 vote with commissioners Jack Bright and Lionell Midgett voting against. The fiscal year begins July 1 and the budget will be $187.8 million, about $3.1 million more than the 2012-13 budget.
1. Property tax
The property tax will remain at 58.5 cents per $100. According to county staff,
2. Summary of revenue
3. School costs
4. Employees
Seventeen positions were cut with the employees filling those positions being offered other positions within county government and another 15 vacant positions were removed. Twelve positions, including two E-911 operators and two animal control officers, were added. All county employees, including county commissioners, will see a 4-percent pay increase at a cost of $2.4 million. In addition, the salaries of 65 employees will be increased in order to raise their salary above the poverty level at a cost of $141,347. What the county calls pay inequities for 20 employees within E-911 and 222 employees who report to the sheriff are also being corrected.
5. Fund balance
$13.4 million from the fund balance, or savings, was used to balance the 2013-14 fiscal year budget, though that does not mean the money will be spent.
6. Organizational support
The county will spend approximately $1.5 million supporting multiple agencies and nonprofits in the area. Of that, $195,949 will go to transportation, including OUTS; $197,461 will go to environmental protection; $175,000 will go to economic development; and $915,556 will go to human services, which includes multiple area nonprofits. Behavioral Health will receive $500,000;
7. Debt service
8. Capital outlay
The county requested $1.743 million in capital outlay, which was reduced to approximately $312,000 by the county manager. Costs include carpet replacement, roofing, a parking lot next to the tax office and general parking lot repairs, replacing the kennel flooring at animal services, repairing HVAC systems throughout the county, and repairs at area beach accesses.

The Rocky Mountain Vertex 990 RSL is a race tuned 29er Cross Country bike. Rocky Mountain tested many different geometry configurations to find the best race geometry for a variety of terrains. It has been said that 29er bikes can't handle technical terrain; however Rocky Mountain has aimed to prove this a misconception. With a tighter wheelbase of 1087mm (medium) and a chainstay length of 433mm, the vertex is able to tackle some tight and technical terrain. Rocky Mountain has crafted the Vertex with less bottom bracket drop. This decreases pedal strikes and also brings the rear wheel in further, making the Vertex feel more like a 26" bike. Finally, Rocky's team riders have chosen a headtube of 70.25 degrees. After extensive experimentation with different head tube angles, the team unanimously concluded that 70.25 is a perfect balance of stability and agility.
Constructed of Smoothwall™ Carbon, the frame delivers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio, ride quality and durability possible. This is achieved through strategically placing multiple types of carbon in specific locations to maximize stiffness and impact resistance, while minimizing overall weight. The tapered head tube adds noticeable front end stiffness while adding very little weight to the frame. The Vertex 990 RSL frame also features internal cable routing to protect cables from dirt and grit, and of course for a sleeker, handsome look.
The Vertex 990 RSL is stacked with an impressive outfit of high-quality components. Up front the 990 RSL is equipped with a Rock Shox SID RL with 15mm Maxle Lite and BlackBox carbon crown steerer. The SID RL offers 100mm of travel with motion control DNA, rebound and remote lockout. Rocky Mountain knows zero compromise can be made when it comes to drivetrain performance, which is why SRAM X0 was chosen. X0 also rounds out the brakes and brake levers to provide maximum stopping power. The complete DT Swiss wheelset will be certain to keep you rolling like a king for miles and miles.
The Rocky Mountain Vertex 990 is a race ready beast with no shortage of precious carbon fiber parts and high quality components. Climb aboard, fall in love and don't look back!
Rocky Mountain Bicycles humbly began in the basement of a Vancouver British Columbia bike shop, in 1981. The employees first imported bikes to sell to their customers. Later, they began manufacturing and importing frames to their exact specifications. Rocky Mountain now produces mountain bikes, road bikes, and urban bicycles. The company has come quite a ways from their modest beginning; however, their core values have never wavered. Rocky Mountain Bicycles is just as sought after now as they were in 1981.

Comments about Rocky Mountain Vertex 990 RSL 2013 Bike:
I was a bit hesitant buying this bike. I'm 5'9" and usually ride an 18" bike. Typically this is a medium for some brands.
This bike however was a large or 18.5" Not much of a difference, but without having sat on the bike or ridden it, I took a chance.
The bike arrived within a few days. Because of the long TT, I went ahead and installed an 80mm stem to bring the bars in closer to me. All I can say is that I am very pleased with this bike. I took it out in snow and ice covered conditions and it handled and climbed great. I will be riding this throughout the winter in all trail conditions and I can't wait until spring. This will be my go to bike unless the trails are difficult. Then I will switch to my Rocky Mountain Altitude.

Joe Elliott states "Having most recently visited Wembley in May to watch Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final, I know what the atmosphere in the ground is like for 'our' football so I'm really looking forward to performing there before the NFL game and of course soaking up the excitement of the actual match. I can't wait!"

As many of you know, I've been scheduled to start a stem cell transplant and as soon as I got home from tour I began the necessary tests and preparations. I'll be admitted to hospital soon for all the yucky bits, so in the meantime I'm headed to Target to stock up on cozy pajamas, fresh underwear, and a sackful of car-porn.
Unfortunately, this means that I won't be able to perform with the band on the upcoming NFL broadcast on Sept. 28th, nor will I be able to do the shows scheduled for Oct/Nov.
While I can't say that I'm looking forward to the process ahead, I'm very much looking forward to what I feel will be a most successful outcome. Next year will be very busy for Def Leppard with a new album and a world tour, and frankly, I don't think they would sound as loud without me, so I have no intention of letting the team down!
See you all (with hair!) in 2015. - Viv

Beware - we had 50 cases and didn't use six. Despite being verbally told we could return samples less a 20% stocking fee this was not the case.

Husband subs for wife, coaches Washington State to win
Appendicitis sends June Daugherty to hospital; husband Mike, a WSU assistant coach, steps in to guide Cougars past Arizona State
Elaine Thompson / Associated Press
Washington State assistant coach Mike Daugherty directs players against Arizona State late in the second half of the Cougars' 48-41 win over the Sun Devils in the Pacific-12 Conference women's tournament on Thursday. Daugherty took the place of head coach June Daugherty, his wife, who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis Thursday afternoon and taken to a Seattle hospital to undergo surgery. She is expected to be released today.
That's why he didn't argue when his wife June, Washington State's head coach, told him not to come with her to the hospital Thursday, and it's also why the Cougars were able to come back to beat Arizona State 48-41 without their head coach in their first game of the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament at KeyArena.
Daugherty, the former longtime University of Washington coach who has led a program revival at WSU in her five seasons in Pullman, felt pain in her stomach during the team's shootaround at earlier in the day, and team physician Dennis Garcia examined her and determined the coach was suffering from acute appendicitis.
Mike Daugherty got a cab and was ready to accompany his wife to the hospital, but she had other ideas.
"I was going with her until she told me not to, and I just do whatever she says," he said. "She said, 'No, you stay here with the team in case I have to stay at the hospital.' So I did that. She said, 'Win the game,' so we did that. I'm good, I've been listening to her for 24 years."
Mike Daugherty reported after the game that his wife was out of surgery and doing well, and said he wouldn't rule out seeing her on the sideline when the Cougars play Stanford tonight.
"I hope so, because I want to retire 1-0," he joked. "I'd like to go out undefeated, and that would assure that."
Mike Daugherty can make light of an unexpected trip to the hospital and surgery because he knows his wife has survived much worse. Back in May of 2007, not long after taking the WSU job, Daugherty was arriving at an Everett medical clinic for a scheduled appointment when she went into sudden cardiac arrest. If Daugherty's daughter, Breanne, hadn't been home sick from school that day, she wouldn't have been in the car to run for help when her mom collapsed, or if Daugherty hadn't been at a medical clinic, there wouldn't have been an immediate medical response and Daugherty likely wouldn't have survived that day six years ago, so it's easy to see why her husband wasn't too worked up about an appendix.
"They say the procedure is one you go home from the next day," Mike Daugherty said. "And knowing my wife, if she can come back to the hotel, she'll be on the sideline tomorrow."
Whichever Daugherty is leading the Cougars tonight, they'll need a better start than they had Thursday if they're going to stay in the game with Stanford. Whether it was the distraction of knowing their coach was in the hospital, the defense of the Sun Devils, or just some Pac-12 Tournament nerves, the Cougars couldn't get much going offensively, scoring just 13 points as Arizona State built a five-point halftime lead while dealing with its own shooting woes.
The Cougars responded in the second half, however, determined not to let their hospitalized coach down, and used a 19-4 run to take control of the game.
"Our nerves kind of got the best of us in the first half offensively," said freshman forward Mariah Cooks. "But we used June as motivation to push us.

AGV SpA. (Amisano Gino Valenza) is an Italian motorcycle helmet firm, founded by Gino Amisano (1920 - 2009), which started out in 1946 making leather seats and motorcycle saddles. A year later, in 1947, it started making motorcycle helmets. In 2007, the company was acquired by Dainese.
The brand is most notably associated with motorcycle World Champions Valentino Rossi and Giacomo Agostini, both of whom have used AGV helmets throughout their career. In 2008, Rossi was made an honorary president of the company. The brand can also count past Formula One world champions such as Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi and Nelson Piquet as wearers. Through the years, AGV has raced and won with a number of motorcycle and auto racers including Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Angel Nieto, Marco Lucchinelli, Franco Uncini, Fausto Gresini, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Emerson Fittipaldi, Randy Mamola, Luca Cadalora, Troy Corser, Max Biaggi and Manuel Poggiali.
In the 1970s, AGV started the AGV Cup, which was born as a three race endurance Championship raced in Daytona. In 1985, AGV signed a worldwide licensing agreement with AGV Sports Group a US corporation to design and develop a full line of AGV brand motorcycle apparel.
Pictured here is a 1:8 scale replica of Valentino Rossi's 1996 AGV GP 125 helmet. Now in stock!
Height: 2 inches
Release Date: November 2010
Historical Account: "The Doctor Is In" - Born on February 16th, 1979, Valentino Rossi is an Italian professional motorcycle racer and multiple MotoGP World Champion. He is widely considered one of the best motorcycle racers of all time.
Following his father, Graziano Rossi, Rossi started racing in Grand Prix in 1996 for Aprilia in the 125cc category and won his first World Championship the following year. From there, he moved up to the 250cc category, again with Aprilia, and won the World Championship in 1999.
He won the 500cc World Championship with Honda in 2001, the MotoGP World Championships (also with Honda) in 2002 and 2003, and continued his streak of back-to-back championships by winning the 2004 and 2005 MotoGP World Championship after leaving Honda to join Yamaha.
He is the reigning World Champion and won his seventh World Championship (5th consecutive) in the 2005 MotoGP series. At the end of the 2005 season, Valentino Rossi holds 79 Grand Prix victories which makes him the most successful rider of the Grand Prix series, surpassing legendary rider Giacomo Agostini.

Get the Merrel Moabs. Comfortable and durable. They have the Vibram sole. Vibram is very disc golf friendly. The Vibram sole holds up better than any other sole, esp. on concrete tee pads.
Other shoes I was lucky to get six months before the sole wore through. My first pair of Moabs lasted almost two years and the par I have now is over a year old. I play 6-10 rounds a week and pivoting on the ball of your right foot with all your weight is really tough on the sole.
If you dont get the Merrels, at least look for a shoe with the Vibram sole.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new..........Albert Einstein
I got these for caddying for Feldberg last year and they are great for ankle support vibram soles are holding up great and the toe box is very comfortable. I have some 970 gortex new balance I got at zappos in shelbyville for 25 bucks that are just as comfortable but the key I think is I rotate between the two pairs often so they are both in great shape.
I have some Nike running shoes that give me side foot support. (the right side of my right foot and left side of my left foot) I think the side foot support is good with distance driving. I know the guy has already found some shoes, but for anyone else, these run about $50 bucks and I've had them a few months, they are great.
Looking to get a pair of KEENs for Christmas.

text: Sailors have been enjoying practical and affordable sailboats from Catalina Yachts since 1970, when Frank Butler founded the company in Southern California. Their philosophy is to "design boats that stand up to real world conditions, sail well, are comfortable above and below, are easy to maintain and hold their value". As the company exceeds four decades in the business, it's clear they've been delivering on that promise through all the ups and downs in the industry. Chief designer Gerry Douglas struck a chord recently with the 5 Series, which is a completely new design concept that includes four models from 31 to 44 feet. These boats are durable and fast sailors, are well organized, feature the large signature Catalina cockpit, and offer features that emphasize safety like lifelines that are for more than just decoration.

Big Tournament Numbers land Ovbey on Conference's All-Tournament Team
November 17, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University freshman middle Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) has been named to the 2009 Conference Carolinas Women's Volleyball All-Tournament Team after her stellar play during the Lady Falcons tournament run. Pfeiffer swept Barton in the first-round of the tournament 3-0 before falling short against Limestone, 3-2, trying to make the late comeback down 0-2 in the match.
In the two tournament matches, Ovbey had 22 kills hitting at .488 to lead the Lady Falcon offense. Ovbey's .488 was .280 points higher than the team's playoff average. On defense, Ovbey came up with eight total blocks, one solo, and three digs.
In the opening round against the Bulldogs, Ovbey put down a match-high 11 kills hitting at a .647 clip in the win. Ovbey also tossed in her lone solo block and one block assist. Taking on Limestone in the semifinals, Ovbey again registered 11 kills with a .375 attack percentage. The freshman also picked up a half-dozen block assists against the Saints.
Ovbey wraps up her rookie season second on the team with a .216 hitting percentage standing fourth with a 187 total kills. In the blocking department, Ovbey led the Lady Falcons with 17 solo blocks and 57 assisting blocks for a team-high 74 on the year.

Since debuting in 1925, the New York Giants have been one of the most winning franchises in the history of the National Football League. The team has made 30 appearances in the playoffs and has won seven league championships. The Giants' latest Super Bowl win came in 2007 against the New England Patriots. New York last made the postseason in 2008, but is familiar with the playoffs, being one of the few franchises to make more than a dozen appearances. The Giants made it to the NFC Divisional Championship game in 2008, but lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-11. A number of players have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame after participating with the franchise, such as Pete Henry, Lawrence Taylor and Steve Owen. The Giants have also retired a series of numbers, including 42, 50 and 56, which belonged to Taylor. The latest player to win the Most Valuable Player award in the Super Bowl with the organization is Eli Manning, who received the honor in 2007. Today, the Giants still remain a threat in the NFC East to their division rivals.

Okay so Ive been climbing for about a year and ive had these babies since the beginning. They are still going strong, the heel and toe are getting fairly smooth yet im still able to hit tiny holds and do climbing in cave sections where im upside down. I wear a 10.5-11 street shoe and my moccasyms are 10.5 and have felt great to me. I am up to v4s now and still they are working great. The only downside is that when you wear not stop for an hour or so and your feet start getting warmed up the heel can tend to slip and even all the way out (on 2-3 occasions) so that's something to keep in mind. I just take off my shoes for about 5 mins and watch others climb then im good to go for another hour or so. I am tempted to stay with slip ons cause I love these things! So if you wont mind the occasional break and shoe "farts" these are great beginner/intermediate shoes.
My moccs are on their second sole and I have to say I am psyched on them. Street 10.5 other 5.10s 9.5 (anasazi) sportivas 40.5-41. The Moccs are the best shoe for trad up to 5.10, more so if climbing pure crack. I use them in the Lower Gorge Basalt at Smith where they are second to none. Super low toe profile, best smearing out of any shoe, and decent edging. If you have strong feet they are a 1 shoe quiver, add a miura or anasazi with these and you can do any climb in the world that doesn't require ice tools (plus you'll have something while the other resoles).LOVE EM!
After spending much time at the creek and in the backyard on our crack machine, I have come to the conclusion that nothing else comes close to the ease of climbing splitters all day long. Super sticky rubber, durable, and comfortable. Warning: your feet will be red for the first several months of climbing in them, and your dog will want to chew on these colorful slippers more than anything you buy him for that purpose, but they will still probably outlast any other pair of shoes put up to that challenge. They don't heel hook whatsoever, so probably not a bouldering shoe unless you're looking for buttermilk/jtree style climbing. also not the most comfortable for long multipitch climbs.
No, you won't be able to stand on dime edges with these forever nor are they great at overhanging boulder problems. For anything else this is my go-to shoe. It eats cracks and slabs for breakfast, and most importantly you'll simply be climbing more because you won't want to take them off! And isn't that what we all want?I wear a 10 in street shoes and went with a 9.5 since they do stretch a lot. I could go with a 9 but that's besides the point with these shoes.
This is one of the most underrated shoes out there. It's a great shoe for bouldering and I've been climbing in it for a year and a half. It is a less sturdy shoe, so if you like a stiffer shoe, don't buy this one. If you like feeling "closer" to the rock, these are good shoes. The stealth rubber is super sticky, and though some complain about the heel, you shouldn't have a problem if you size it right; however, YOU MUST SIZE IT RIGHT. I wear a 9.5-10 in street shoes, and I bought an 8.5 in these shoes. They stretched to fit perfectly after a short period of discomfort. Slip-ons seem to be a niche market. But if you like slip-ons, these are good.
Some love 'em, some just can't figure out what is so great about them...My buddy feels the former. He mostly does friction and crack climbs. I am struggling with the latter, I think because I am used to more aggressive shoes. I Bought these because my Miura were out of commission and I wanted to add to my crack climbing arsenal. I keep giving these a chance, since I really WANT to like them, but I think my feet are just slightly incompatible. These shoes have a round toe area. When I look at my feet, my big toe is the one protruding out the most with the other toes pretty much following in a straight line. When I wear these shoes my big toe gets bent sideways and cramped into the other toes
a shoe that only gets better as you use it i have climbed through the rubber and then resoled these babies three times and each time its like falling in love. great for learning, bouldering, thin cracks, face climbing and anything else I missed. you can Send anything from 5.5 to 5.14 (If your Sharama) best all rounder ever
nothing can beat this shoes rubber and because of it it smears beautifully. Also climb slab with tinie tiny edges perfectly. this shoes really out perform my friends rockwrenches even on overhangs but especially on slab. they fit like a glove and my feet feel at home when they get in these puppies.quick and easy on and off. just get these shoes already.
These are probably the best all-around climbing shoes that a person can buy.They're pretty cumfy (as much as any climbing shoe can be) and smehow they manage to stay smelling good even after months of climbing without socks. They work great for crack climbing and for just smearing up a rock. The only downside is that whenever you take them off the crazy red fabric in the shoe rubs off on your foot, which makes your foot look like a tomato. The first tim I took them off I thught I was having some weird allergic reaction. Anyway, these are great shoes for any entry-level climber, or an avid pro who's been doing it for years.
I bought these about a year ago and have been climbing a lot in them since. They are by far my favorite shoes! My street size is 10.5 and got these in a size 9.5. At first they were pretty tight. I jammed my big toe because I climbed in the so much, which put me on crutches for a few days. (This is the part where you learn from my mistake). After a while they stretched out and are now oh so comfortable! They are sensitive, so you can really feel the rock which results in improved footwork. They don't toe hook well, but heel hooks are doable. Probably not a beginner shoe. I would buy these shoes again! And yes they do turn your feet red, but come on who cares! These shoes are wicked awesome!!

Coach Kevin Popadines believes his Lejeune girls' basketball team can get better.
But while that's a scary thought given the Devilpups remained undefeated on Friday night with a 74-35 win over Dixon, Popadines can pinpoint one area in particular where Lejeune still has room to improve.
"We are working on getting more aggressive and that's really the main thing," he said. "We are working on getting our pressure a little bit tighter and working on trying to force the other team to make mistakes."
The Devilpups (15-0, 5-0 Coastal Plains 1-A Conference) certainly turned the pressure on against the Bulldogs (8-11, 2-3). Lejeune forced 36 turnovers and limited Dixon to 25 percent shooting.
Earlier, Dixon defeated Lejeune 86-79 in the boys' game.
Senior Chatori Major was the main beneficiary of the defense by the Lejeune girls, finishing with 29 points on 13 of 20 shooting. Major scored on several transition layups created by turnovers and long rebounds. She scored on a layup after a steal with three seconds left in the first quarter to give the Devilpups a 12-4 lead before she scored 10 points in a second quarter that saw Dixon commit 13 turnovers.
"They (Devilpups) didn't necessarily catch us off guard (by pressure defense)," Dixon coach Christel Caliguire said. "I had a starter and a sixth man not here tonight and sometimes that breaks up the dynamic of your game. They didn't do anything I didn't expect from them.
"We didn't come out as charged up as we normally do and they were charged up."
Sophomore Nikia Wallace, who ended with eight points for Lejeune, also provided good defense.
"They (Wallace and Major) are our motors," Popadines said. "Once they get going, everybody kind of relaxes and feed right off them. They do a good job of leading us."
Major clearly hurt the Bulldogs with her drives to the basket, but she was also complemented by her teammates. Senior Chryssandra Tatum added 12 points and 12 rebounds while eight other Lejeune players scored at least two points.
"I think the girls did a nice job, especially with seniors all staring tonight in the lineup," said Popadines, referring to the Devilpups' senior night. "We had more bigs in. So we gave up a little bit of quickness, but they did a nice job."
Major, who entered averaging 22.3 points per game, is the focal point of the Devilpups. There's no questioning that. However, Lejeune has showed it is not a one-player show.
"I'm proud of them. They know who is open and they are starting to read defenses really well," Popadines said. "They know how to find people and they are happy sharing the ball, which is great."
And while Popadines is happy with his the Devilpups played Friday, he expects things to become more difficult during the second rotation of
Starting with a game next Friday at Southwest, Lejeune has five consecutive road games to close the regular season before the conference tournament aboard Camp Lejeune.
"Five in a row on the road is definitely tough," Popadines said. "We can't take anybody lightly. We have to keep improving."
Dixon 86, Lejeune 79: Dixon outscored Lejeune 26-5 in the third quarter en route to a win in a game featuring a pair of teams winless in the
The Bulldogs' victory overshadowed a 39-point effort from the Devilpups' Ryan Evans, who made 10 of his team's 16 3-pointers. Dixon was led by Curtis Trexel's 24 points.
Jaylen Mitchell added 20 points, Trent Marshburn had 15 points and 13 rebounds while Daniel Page added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs.
Lejeune led 46-40 at halftime, but Dixon used a 20-0 run in the third quarter to pull away.
"We went into a 1-3-1 to cut off their outside shooting," Dixon coach Philip Durr said. "We had one big man underneath and we wanted to get a little more pressure on their shots."
The Bulldogs (4-15, 1-4) built a 71-51 lead in the third quarter, but the Devilpups (1-17, 0-5) kept things interesting, thanks to Evans' good play and eight 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
Overall, Lejeune was 16 of 44 from behind the arc.
Chuckie Murdock scored 15 points and Dax Summut finished with 13 points, including four 3-pointers, for the Devilpups.
"We knew they (Bulldogs) were not a speedy team," Lejeune coach Joey Malott said. "We wanted to drive and penetrate and then look for the threes."
Lejeune made seven 3-pointers in the first half, but Dixon kept close thanks to Trexel's 20 first-half points.
"That was senior leadership," Durr said of Trexel. "Curtis stepped up and played well."
And the effort by Trexel and the Bulldogs was just too much for Evans to overcome. Still, Malott was pleased with Evans' play.
"He's just a scorer and he's an offensive threat no matter what kind of games we are in," Malott said. "He's got a soft touch, he's left-handed and he has a great basketball IQ."

Expose your cracks and love will fill them.

6 miles each way to work, morning is about 12 mins and afternoon is about 20 mins. Not too bad compared to what most of the people who live in my area do to get to work everyday. My girlfriend goes to NYC and back 4 days a week. We leave the house at the same time in the morning. Everything sucks about NYC, I hope she can get another job outside the city.

I walk from the bedroom, to the the bathroom, to the coffee maker and then to the desk. Now that the "traffic" has cleared up from the morning rush, I'm going to take the dogs for a hike. I could hit traffic if one of the Elk herds decides to cross a street, but they have no traffic coverage on that.
Yup, caught in the Elk traffic jam the other day. If this was the East coast a lot of Elk would be shot.

i don't WFH all the time, only 2 days/week or when I get sick enough not to want to infect the office.
but technically I could, except for my specific team prefers we are in the office.
i can work from anywhere in the world from nearly any PC (secure VPN fob in hand)... away from 'home' i have personally worked from a bar on the beach in Hawaii, coffee shop in St Cloud MN, families house in Milwaukee, and a friends place in Nashville.
if i absolutely needed to WFH or move away from the corporate office I could WFH everyday.
also on the 3 days i DO go to the office, i participate in a vanpool, so i am only driving 1 day of 5 per week.

Even as season winds down, eagles line Skagit River
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A bald eagle takes flight over the Skagit River during a tour with Skagit River Guide Service upriver from Rockport on Friday morning.

Wayne Ackerlund peers back over the river while guiding a tour along the Skagit River east of Rockport on Friday morning.
The tour group aboard Wayne Ackerlund's 21-foot boat turns for a view of an eagle.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A bald eagle flies over the Skagit River on Friday morning.
His girlfriend, Richelle Thomas -- who lives in Texas -- discovered them online.
Burnett and Thomas were among six people who took a ride down the river Friday to get a look at America's national symbol in person.
"I've been here for 10 years, I didn't know about it," Burnett said after the tour. "I'm glad I found out about it. I'll recommend it to friends for sure."
The number of eagles has dropped off since December, said tour guide Wayne Ackerlund, a Snohomish native who owns and operates Skagit River Guide Service along with his wife, Melissa.
Still, the group on Friday saw 36 eagles in an eight-mile stretch of the river between Marblemount and Rockport.
"It was great," said Janice Sears of Seattle, one of the guests on the boat.
From Dec. 15-25 -- the peak viewing time, Ackerlund said -- his groups have seen as many as 300 eagles a day on that same stretch of river. The eagles come to northwest Washington rivers from Canada and even southeast Alaska in the fall and early winter to feed on salmon carcasses after the fish have spawned.
Recently, the count was down to about 180 eagles a day because of a smaller fish run this year, Ackerlund said.
He and his wife always let their guests know beforehand how the viewing is going, he said. Also, eagle counts for several sectors of the river are taken by the U.S. Forest Service and posted at www.skagiteagle.org.
The Ackerlunds, who operate a commercial fishing boat in Alaska in the summer, begin their tours on the Skagit in November and run them seven days a week into February, depending on the viewing. On busy days, the Ackerlunds operate three boats altogether.
Their work coincides in part with the annual Skagit Eagle Festival, which runs each weekend in January. The event, organized by the Concrete Chamber of Commerce, includes boat tours through several companies, a museum open house, a hayride, bonfire and arts and crafts. Some of the activities are centered at the Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center in Rockport.
Also, the city of Arlington and Stillaguamish Tribe have scheduled their sixth annual Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival for Feb. 1-2 in Arlington. That event includes rafting, a chain saw carving show, nature tours, exhibits, arts and crafts and entertainment.
On Friday, Melissa Ackerlund expressed sadness at the recent shooting of at least three bald eagles at a lake near Granite Falls. Four eagles were found dead in the lake Jan. 9; three of the eagles had bullet wounds, and it's believed the fourth was shot as well. Wildlife agents are investigating.
"It was just absolutely devastating," she said. "I hope they find who did it."
Eagles were removed from the federal list of endangered species in 2007 but are still afforded protection under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940, which has been updated several times since.
According to the law, it's illegal to take, possess, sell, buy, barter, transport, import or export any bald or golden eagle or any of their parts, nests or eggs.
Along the Skagit, many eagle enthusiasts look for the birds from viewpoints along Highway 20 as well as from boats. The best viewing areas are from Rockport east, officials have said.
Viewers are encouraged to pull all the way off the road and park only on turnouts or parking lots; to stay off gravel bars on the river and not to trespass on private property. The best time to see eagles feed on the banks is early in the morning, experts say.
Guests on Wayne Ackerlund's boat on Friday not only were able to enjoy the eagles but other wildlife and scenic vistas as well.
Ackerlund rattled off facts about eagles, salmon, other birds, beavers and nearby mountains as he skillfully maneuvered his 21-foot aluminum rowboat down the river to give guests the best vantage. He pointed out a couple of beaver dams and numerous trees that clearly had been felled by beavers.
Ackerlund clearly loves the outdoors. He couldn't keep away from the Pilchuck River as a boy.
"I skipped school to go to the river," he said.
He began operating guided fishing trips for steelhead on the Skagit River in 1997. About seven years ago, the steelhead fishing started to decline, so he and his wife began the eagle tours.
"I saw the writing on the wall," he said.

Should I wait for Windows 7 or move on to Vista now?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 1/9/09 12:02 PM
My 7-year-old computer running Windows 2000 Pro is on its way out and Im ready to buy a brand-new system to start fresh with new hardware and operating system. However, after reading some articles on Windows 7, which is suppose to be due out sometime end of this year, do you think its worth the wait to skip Vista completely and hope that my current computer will last until Windows 7 is released? I know this sounds premature to ask now since Windows 7 is a long ways off, but I want to get some ideas so I dont make the move now to Vista and regret it to find out Windows 7 is the way to go. Whats your opinion? What would you do, go to Vista or wait for Windows 7? All feedback is welcome. Thank you.

NBC debuted their new fantasy-adventure series, Merlin, last night. Did many people tune in to watch this new take on an old tale? Will it be allowed to run its course or has the magic tale failed to excite viewers?
Merlin stars Colin Morgan as a young sorcerer who arrives in Camelot, a city where magic has been outlawed by King Uther Pendragon (Anthony Head). While there, Merlin learns that he has an important part to play in the future of Camelot and residents like Prince Arthur (Bradley James), maid Guinevere (Angel Coulby), and seer Morgana (Katie McGrath). Others in the cast include Bionic Woman's Michelle Ryan, Richard Wilson, and John Hurt as the voice of The Great Dragon.
Though many British shows have been remade for American audiences over the years, Merlin supposedly marks the first time a UK drama has aired on a major US network in over 30 years. But, how long will it last?
Last night, Merlin debuted to an average of just 5.35 million viewers for its two-hour premiere, putting it in second place behind CBS reruns. The supernatural show was also in second place for the 18-49 demographic with an average of a 1.4/4 rating/share.
Loading ...
That performance certainly isn't a magical one for the network and the ratings will very likely decline for subsequent installments. Considering that it's Summer and that NBC hasn't spent much money to acquire the series, it looks very likely that the network will air all 13 installments of this season.
While the show's future on NBC isn't certain, Merlin will continue on nevertheless. The series has been a hit for BBC One and they commissioned a second season last December. Production is expected to begin soon and will film on location in Wales and France. Unless ratings pick up, it seems doubtful that NBC will be buying it.
What do you think? Should Merlin be cancelled before season one even finishes? Will NBC make the second season available to network viewers? So, cancel or keep Merlin?

Cheers, laughter and the sounds of dozens of happy children filled the gymnasium at Northeast Elementary School Thursday morning as a group of third through fifth graders participated in the Stack Up event.
According to a World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA) press release, the sport has been termed a "track meet for your hands at warp speed." Students "up" stack and "down" stack 12 specially designed cups called Speed Stacks in predetermined sequences as fast as they can. Stackers race against the clock, compete in relays and often combine sport stacking with fitness challenges as part of physical education classes.
The Northeast students were attempting to break the Guinness Book of World Record mark for most "stackers" in a 24-hour period; the previous record was 412,259 stackers worldwide in 2011. Thursday's event included 50 students from Northeast combining their efforts with stackers from all 50 states and dozens of countries throughout the world — shown on a map pinned to the wall of the school's gym. The goal by organizers in the WSSA was for 450,000 participants on Thursday.
It was not known whether or not the effort had set the record as of press time.
Third-graders Jacques Whitfield and Fabulous Condery, both 9, took their task seriously.
"This is a lot of fun and it really helps me a lot in school," Jacques said.
Fabulous exclaimed, "I have learned a lot about stacking and I love it!"
Northeast Physical Education teacher and coach Leigh Patterson kept the clock for Thursday's event, blowing her whistle to have students move among the stacking stations, which included freestyle, follow the leader, around the world, partner stacking, spot stack, relays and rapid fire.
Patterson said stacking is a valuable learning tool.
"It teaches them to use both hands," Patterson said. "At this age, they're either right-hand dominant or left-hand dominant and it gets them into using both hands.
"It also enforces their math skills with patterns and by watching each other. They have to emulate what the other does. It's a very non-competitive activity for them so it builds self-esteem."
Last year, Northeast Principal Kecia Dunn invited a professional cup-stacker to visit the school to fire up the children. Patterson also secured a $2,500 grant from Walmart to purchase the cups for Thursday's attempt at the record.
For the past two weeks, the students practiced their stacking skills in preparation for Thursday's event.
Dunn said some of her students were so excited, they had difficulty sleeping Wednesday night. She even admitted to some butterflies in her own stomach.
"The kids really got into it and you wouldn't believe the creativity of the kids," Dunn said with a smile. "It was amazing to see the patterns they've come up with. They're excited because they're doing something that is fun."
Fifth-graders Jamyia Mitchell and Terion Arnold, both 10, were a little out of breath between stations, although they beamed with delight.
"I've learned the faster you do this, the better you get at doing it," Jamyia said.
Terion said, "It's good exercise, and it's a lot of fun for me."
At the conclusion of the event, Dunn congratulated the participants. Then, with Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" playing over the school's public address system, the stackers marched up and down the hall, receiving high-fives and praise from their school-mates, who lined both sides of the hallway.
"We are so, so proud of each of you," Dunn told the stackers — whose excited cheers were thanks enough for the principal and her team of teachers and volunteers who helped with the exercise.

It's been a lazy day for me. Haircut, late breakfast, groceries and then some serious sun bathing in my backyard (not a cloud in the sky!). I felt like sandalwood all day today, so it's been a mish-mash of:

Santal 33 by Le Labo
and Hermessence Santal Massoia by Hermes
Later on tonight I'm going to dinner with a whole bunch of guys that I know, I'll probably wear:

SOTM - Burberry Beat for Men
SOTD & SOTE (after a shower in the afternoon) - Gucci Pour Homme Original (1976)...for a solemn and heartfelt occasion. It was the memorial of a friend (dressed formal in a full suit), clean shaven and to pay my respects and say, "Farewell". Not a negative association with the scent..for in the darkness, always look to the light. My prayers and thoughts are with their family and loved ones. They will be dearly missed.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
YSL's Original, M7
Late posting, but my SOTE was Dzongkha.
