These were my first climbing purchase and it was a great one. They give a lot of grip on the wall and have held up really well after a year of climbing (the soles still look really good). They are also really comfortable and fit my feet really well (and my foot is on the wider side). On the other hand, my feet sweat a lot in the shoes and they start to smell after a while. I just put some foot powder in them after climbing and it keeps them drier and less stinky.I recommended this shoe to 2 friends and they also love it.
I got these shoes a few months ago and absoloutly love them. They are a good fit for me and havent changed much from when i first got them. Try to keep them stuffed when not being used to help them keep their shape inside your pack.
If I were you I would buy some sportiva shoes. These are decent, but no the most comfortable. They are also not the strongest and longest lasting shoes. But if you are just looking for a cheap, off brand shoe, this is the one!
I bought these a few sizes down based on other climbers reviews. Initially they were tight and my toes took a beating for the first few routes. After five or so trips to my local spot they finally have stretched out and I can wear them the entire time. I'm a beginner and these shoes have just the right amount of grip to get me doing more advanced routes. Solid choice.
A buddy of mine raved on how great they were, so I dove in bought a pair myself. Great shoe for any type of lead/top rope climbing, and they give a solid hold for any technical bouldering I've done with them. Once you break them in, they fit like a glove. Just ordered my second pair.
I love this shoe. At first I was worried about the fit, so I looked up a couple reviews about how to size it. I am always apprehensive about buying shoes without having tried them on first. I ended up downsizing from my street shoe size 12 to a size 11.5. I couldn't be happier with the fit, the shoe will stretch to your fit. Comfortable enough to wear all day, capable enough to climb harder routes. Two thumbs up!
I ordered these on the site and took a gamble on the size. it took a while to break in but now they are as comfy as my tight running shoes. The toe points well and the steath rubber is plenty grabby on a good rock. feels like wet glass on worn rocks but it you can find a crimp they are spot on. great for gym and outdoor climbing. I only want another pair with an aggressive arch and good edge for the more serious day.
The first and last shoe that average climber will need. They are aggressive enough for hard bouldering and comfortable enough for multipitch trad leads. They are actually size very close to your street shoe thats right no need to down size and I love them
These are the most comfortable shoes I could find in Lansing. I am more of a fan of lace up shoes than velcro, but the Five Ten Rogue Pulls it off nicely. I've been a climber all my life, but the last few years I've been getting serious about it. If you were like me and wondering if you should go with shoes, the answer is yes and the Five Ten Rogue will bring you to the next level.
Similar to the Evolve Defy and other budget rock climbing shoes both in price and performance. After trying both the evolve on and this at the store, I felt that the Rogue had a better overall feel. Plus I found the styling a lot better than the evolve, although that wasn't a big issue for me. I've just taken this for gym climbing and it performs great there. Had it on continuously for over 2 hours with minimal discomfort. Edging was easy but was still pretty sensitive and for the price I'm definitely satisfied.Perhaps a little concerned about how much it will stretch, but it's perfectly sized as it is now for me.
Great shoe. I just started rock climbing and this shoe fits great. Its already started to break in a bit. It was a little tight at the beggingin but not it fits perfect. Great shoe for the price and a really good choice for beginners.

My favourite and most used cleaning tool
Par Hamiltonclan
de Hamilton
I've been using these for years now. They are fantastic for mirrors, stainless steel, windows, counter tops, bathroom... My children use them in their own homes and business now! These would be a great tool for someone in the house cleaning or window cleaning business! Will save you a TON of time!

Works Like a Charm
Par G
de Ottawa area
If I hadn't used these myself and seen the results I would be skeptical. They do work. Less effort on my part and no additional products. Just water, wipe and walk away - just like the video says.I will definitely keep a supply of these on hand.
best thing going!
Par Rhonda
de Spalding, Sask.
No cleaning supplies needed just water, I use these for dusting cleaning windows, mirrors, etc. They are the best on stainless steel, just wipe and your done no streaks.
I most cetainly would purce this product
Par Barbara
de Winnipeg
I use these cloths on everything, even to stainless steel, Mirrored doors are a great testimonial,,,,not a strek when dry. Bath tubs, sparkle...Wood really does say it all, Cleans wood to perfection. When dirty and used for about two yeas, I then use them with a green product and once again they work great. My probm with the three orders I just purchased, was the next day they were the show stopper and I wasn't told so had to pay full prce. If they knew it is going to be the show stoper they should have told me....I love these cloths and being a professional house keeper they make my work lighter...Crysal gleams...there is no end to the many uses...
Par Annie
de London
I too was skeptical while watching Deb raving about these cloths. I am fussy and particular about my cleaning products. Since purchase I have used nothing except bleach & the ultimate cloths for cleaning. I went crazy with the first use...could not believe how amazing they worked on everything. There is nothing to compare! I babysit my grandchildren once a week & I take a cloth with me. Mom can not believe how much cleaning I get done. My secret is the ultimate. Deb you were right!!!

works great hard to clean once dirty
Par john
de north bay
it worked very well as described. especially on glass. but once it is dirty it is very hard to get like new again.
Absolutely Ultimate
Par LEANNE
de SWIFT CURRENT
I just bought new appliances. I like the look of stainless but know they are a pain to keep clean. We might be selling our home and I know everyone else want stainless appliances, so I bought them. They are a pain to keep clean without these cloths. The ultimate cloth cleans fast and I can even spot clean the stainless appliances. I can wipe all my appliances and small appliances in about 10 minutes and they look new. My china cabinet glass hasn't looked that good in years and again it took much less time to get the job done. Very happy with these, they do what they say they do. I wash in the machine when they get dirty, no fabric softener and hang to dry. I already have recommended them to everyone I know.
Par Tara Jewell
de Fredericton (New Brunswick)
I was skeptical - but these things really work - I have glossy laminate countertops in my kitchen that I always struggled to keep looking nice - not any more - these cloths are AMAZING... all over the house. Glad I finally ordered them.
Ultimate cleaning cloth
Par Chris the cleaner
de Toronto
I use these cloths mostly for mirrors and glass for a perfect streak free surface.A friend ask me what I use for my mirrors because she was frustrated with trying to get her mirror streak free and I told her about these cloths, so she tried it and could not believe how well they worked.
ultimate cleaning cloth
Par red
de ontario
after seeing on them on tsc for many years I finally decided to try them---I have a reputation for been extremely fussy---I was amazed how great a job they did. Glad I finally order them

Cleveland County has waited decades for a proposed U.S. 74 bypass around Shelby.
Now, broader plans for the new highway may be in store.
County leaders provided approval this week for studying the possibility of widening the shoulders along the new stretch of highway and making the same adjustments to the road all the way from Interstate 26 to Interstate 85.
That would mean the road would be built to what is known as "interstate freeway standards," according to Commissioner Jason Falls.
Plans for the widened standards were first introduced by Rutherford County leaders in March at a joint meeting with Cleveland and Polk county commissioners.
At the time, Rutherford and Polk county commissioners approved a resolution to request a N.C. Department of Transportation study of the costs and requirements of the broadened U.S. 74 proposal.
Cleveland County leaders requested more time to study the issue before approving the resolution, citing concerns about the cost and time impacts on the current U.S. 74 bypass, for which construction is expected to begin by next year and be complete by 2030.
"Since the bypass has a schedule now, we were hesitant in making a motion," said Commissioners Chairman Ronnie Hawkins. "It was the board's thinking that if we tried to ask for new changes, it would delay the bypass even longer."
On Tuesday, commissioners approved the resolution for the NCDOT study.
The bypass has been in talks for more than 30 years and has been held up for a number of reasons. One hold up was the plans for which way the bypass would travel, according to officials.
"There were three routes under consideration: a southern route, a northern route or reworking the existing bypass," said former county manager David Dear. "There were also a couple of environmental issues, such as the southern route would be more costly and would have gone across a number of creeks."
The currently proposed route north of Shelby was selected more than 20 years ago because it was shorter and less expensive, Dear said.
Reach Jessica Pickens at 704-669-3332 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow on Twitter at @StarJPickens.
What leaders said:
"Our concern was that any other changes, like going to an interstate, would take the state back to the drawing board on the 74 bypass and the time line would be changed."
- Cleveland County Commissioners Chairman Ronnie Hawkins
"We support for a study as long as in no way it slows down what we are doing on the bypass now."
-Cleveland County Commissioner Johnny Hutchins
"We are excited about the resolution and think it's a good thing for the counties to work together and show support for the project."
- Cleveland County Commissioners Vice Chairman Jason Falls
"Commissioners support the decision as long as construction wouldn't be delayed. It was confirmed with division engineer that it wouldn't have any affect on the funding."
- County Manager Eddie Bailes

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.
Anyone imprisoned for cruelty to animals should be made, upon release, to register as animal abusers, the same as sexual predators, and to tell his neighbors where he lives. Dogfighter=dickless.
Hey, I agree he murdered many dogs I am sure. Why is there not a murder conviction for animals....cruelty does not really say it all. Does this mean when a human is murdered it is cruel and not really death? Death penalty needs to be added for dog fighters!!!!
Not enough time, just a slap on the wrist. And MIchael Vick got a dog(supposedly for his son) after he got out of jail and has resumed his charmed life. REALLY? What does it take? Dog fighters are cruel, mean people. They are scary and need help. Maybe they were abused themselves, don't know, but can they be rehabed? Not sure, but the point is we, and their victims need to be protected from them.
I have a german shepherd and a yellow labrador.I love them so much.I rescued the labrador and raised the german shepherd from a puppy.I would do anything for them including putting my own life at risk for them.every holiday I buy them presents just like how I get presents.the only difference is I don't get dog treats or dog toys as presents.I make sure I play with them more than two hours a day and I take care of them but they pay me back with love.I can't think about anybody abusing dog.
He's a dog "KILLER', not fighter and should be sentenced as a "KILLER." He tortured and murdered dogs to get his rocks off and make a few bucks. Hopefully some of his fellow cons are log lovers.
Should be a mandatory 5 years w/no early release minimum. And 10 years probation following that.
The sentence is not strong enough. He should serve more and should be banned from ever owning animals.
To lowlifes like Raul Sanchez, 1-3 years (and out in 18 months) is a taxpayer-paid vacation where he'll get 3 hots and a cot and hang out with the homies. He'll learn from them how not to get caught when he resumes his operations.
why should his sentence run concurrently? why not one after the other. then he would spend at least 5 years behind bars. and that bit about no animals while on parole?? what parole why automatically assume he will get parole!!! what a pud!!!
I agree with all of the above, that this scumbag did not get a fraction of the time he deserved. The punishment does not fit the crime(s). Further, only banning Sanchez from having animals for the duration of his parole is appalling. It would be more appropriate to ban him from having/keeping animals for the rest of his natural life...and enforcing it! People like Sanchez typically do not change. In fact, their cruelty often escalates. We must do whatever we can to push for tougher animal cruelty laws, as well as enforcement of said laws and harsher punishments for offenders. Just as we try to protect defenseless children from predators with the sex offender registry, we should do the same to protect helpless animals by establishing an animal cruelty offender registry. Even those who do not care for animals as much as we do should realize that someone who can look into the pleading eyes of an animal and do them harm is very likely to have no problem doing the same to a child. There is a reason that violent criminals typically have multiple charges. Something must be done to either truly rehabilitate people, or simply not let them out of prison only to offend again. Write your members of Congress about such matters whenever you can. Look out for things that just don't seem right in your community, and intervene within reason if you see something bad happening to an animal or any other being who cannot defend his or her self. We all owe it to each other and to the animals who love us.

Read Bleacher Fan and Loyal Homer's arguments on which team did themselves the most harm at the trade deadline.
You have to love baseball. For starters, the silly season lasts forEVER. First there is the off-season where players change organizations, highlighted by the winter meetings. Then there is the entertaining search for "that last player" a team needs to dominate a season during Spring Training. Then, the non-waiver trading deadline of July 31 comes, the best time to trade a player before passing them through waivers. Then the waiver-trading deadline a month later at the end of August.
For most teams it is a chance to make the team better for the remainder of the season. For others, they are preparing to be a contender for the following season.
For the 2009 Cleveland Indians, apparently they are preparing for contention in the 2012 season – maybe.
The season started with the Indians trading for versatile and consistent slugger Mark DeRosa and signing fireballing free agent closer Kerry Wood.
High hopes, right?
A couple of injuries later the season is derailed. Designated hitter Travis Hafner's mysterious shoulder fatigue injury, an elbow injury to center fielder Grady Sizemore, some really awful pitching out of the bullpen, and a lack of consistent and timely hitting turned this season into a wash. Despite general manager Mark Shapiro's best efforts, the Indians were no longer competitive in 2009. Time to sell off the players necessary to restock for 2010, right?
Wrong. Shapiro has done a great deal of damage to the team's chances at competing for the next several years. Despite his weak reassurances and high-brow "I don't need applause right now" comments, the Indians traded away enough talent to make it obvious that not only were the Indians in no position to compete in 2010, the talent received in return puts the team even farther behind.
Let's take a quick look at some the trading season deals from the Indians that set them back so much.
Just last week the trade between the Indians and St. Louis Cardinals was finalized where the Tribe sent Mark DeRosa over for relief pitchers Jess Todd and Chris Perez. Something about Cleveland has not agreed with Perez as his performance in Cleveland has been spotty and subpar. Todd, who has decent numbers in Triple A this season, probably will not make his major league debut until September.
Formerly solid middle reliever Rafael Betancourt was traded to Colorado for minor league pitcher Connor Graham, who is not likely to reach the majors until 2010 at the earliest (if ever).
Next is first baseman Ryan Garko, a player who is arbitration eligible at the end of the season. The Indians traded Garko to the San Francisco Giants – straight up – for a Single A pitcher, left-hander Scott Barnes. While Barnes is excellent – in Single A ball – the move does not show the aggressiveness needed to compete in 2010. It's also a suspicious trade considering Garko knocked in 61 and 90 runs respectively in the last two seasons – all without consistent playing time. Apparently those numbers are only good enough to get a Single A prospect in return. For fans, I am sure it is hard to understand how an established major leaguer is worth the same as a Single A player… who could fall victim to any number of problems in his still developing career that prevent him from ever making his major league debut.
Then, of course, there are the big trades. For the second consecutive season the Indians traded the reigning American League Cy Young award winner, this time left-hander Cliff Lee (along with outfielder Ben Francisco) to the Philadelphia Phillies. The return on Lee (or, ROL) was no cache of major-league ready players primed to make the Indians contenders in 2010. They received pitchers Jason Knapp and Carlos Carrasco, infielder Jason Donald, and catcher Lou Marson. Of course no one knows the names. But, that's not why there's an issue with this trade. Lee did not have to be traded. He was under contract for next season (at an affordable $8M… good for a Cy Young winner – in Cleveland or anywhere). His value was not at its peak. More, the prospects Cleveland received in return did not include any of the big name pitchers in the Phillies minor league system. A Cy Young winner for a group of "might bes…" not even "probably wills."
Last, the trade of catcher/first baseman Victor Martinez yielded just Justin Masterson – a reliever the Indians are going to convert to starter – pitcher Bryan Price, and pitcher Nick Hagadone. Price and Hagadone have had good seasons, but they are also single A players. It is unlikely that those players make an impact in 2009 or 2010. Plus, Martinez is under contract next season, and he was willing to stay with the Indians. He was a clubhouse leader the Indians badly needed, and a willing one at that. Instead, the future was traded for… the farther out future?
The entirety of the trade season, and the pieces Shapiro went after, do not indicate that the Indians are close to a World Series. Rather than trading for consistent bats (the Indians primary need along with the bullpen), Shapiro targeted a lot of relievers. It's a misdiagnosis of the issues with the team. The Indians are not in need of a couple of relief pitching pieces to get over the hump, especially without rotation anchor Lee and star of the future Martinez.
Sure, Shapiro saved the Indians $16M in payroll for next season. But, at what cost… the cost of being a respectable, competitive major league baseball team next season? The cost of the present proved too high for the Indians, and they'll again begin grooming the stars of tomorrow – who will likely blossom with another team. Look no further than Franklin Gutierrez's success in Seattle this year for evidence of poor decision-making on talent in Cleveland.
Claiming competitiveness many years down the road is not acceptable to fans – whether they are season ticket holders or not. It's offensive. The organization is taking the fan's money for granted, showing they do not have to field a competitive team every year to get the fan's money. Safe to say, even the penny-pinching Dolan family (who own the Indians) will not be able to accept another failure in 2010. The best way for them to get to that realization is by fans refusing to shell out their cash for an inferior product. It's time for some accountability in Cleveland!

Avenches exudes unmistakeable Swiss-French charm. In the centre of the little town, with its arcades and many striking facades in Gothic and Renaissance style invite you to pause for a while.
2000 years ago, Aventicum was the capital of Roman Helvetia. The Emperor Augustus founded the Roman city of Aventicum on the site of the Helvetian capital and it was to be in its heyday in the 2nd century when it had over 20,000 inhabitants.
There is a tour starting from the amphitheatre and including the main Roman sites and excavations. The Roman museum houses a precious Gallo-Roman collection, including a valuable copy of the famous gold bust of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Every year, the Amphitheater of Avenches is the setting for an Opera Festival and an Openair-Rock Festival as well as the Avenches Tattoo, the only military Tattoo in Western Switzerland. Nearby, a museum can be visited in one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces in Vaud, built by the Bishop of Lausanne in the 13th century.
The region by the little River Broye, with its many nature reserves and terraced vineyards, offers many opportunities for walking, cycling and water sports. On the way, it is worth sampling some wine from one of the region's growers of the sparkling white wine from Mont Vully.
The centre of the little town of Payerne includes a former Benedictine abbey which was founded in the 10th century. The impressive abbey church is the largest Romanesque building in Switzerland and, with its decorated columns and early frescoes, is considered one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe.
If you enjoy holidaying in the countryside, then Payerne and the surrounding area is the place for you. The region is famous for its natural beauty and friendliness, its farmhouse accommodation and the opportunity to discover fine local produce. On the Granary Trail ("Chemin des Blés"), 80 km of signposted paths with information boards for hikers and cyclists, you can discover all the charm of this rural area.

- Abbey church in Payerne – one of the most impressive Romanesque churches in Switzerland, dating from the 11th century, a reminder of the former Cluniac priory which was of European importance.
- IETA National Riding Institute in Avenches – national stud, nationally and internationally recognised centre of excellence in horse-breeding, organising many events to do with horses.
- Neolithic farm at Gletterens – this reconstruction, on the site of a former Neolithic village dating from about 3000 years BC, on the south bank of Lake Neuchâtel, really brings prehistoric times to life for us.

NEW BERN — "This is The Mike Huckabee Show and we are live from New Bern, North Carolina," Huckabee said from a New Bern Riverfront Convention Center podium Friday before more than 500 cheering fans.
Hosted by Henry and Hank Hinton, a father-son team of radio stations in New Bern and Greenville, the broadcast was part of a day-long radio Talkfest during which Huckabee was a guest on the Phil Knight TV Show earlier in the morning.
Huckabee was quick to say good things promoting the area: "New Bern is beautiful. I love your town. This is not my first time here. I like New Bern much better than New York."
The former Arkansas governor held a campaign fundraiser here in 2008 in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination at which time he said he also visited the Birthplace of Pepsi store downtown.
Friday's fan demographic was decidedly gray and white but the well-advertised event for the colorful, entertaining, and civil conservative politician brought out no detractors and nearly every Republican elected or aspiring elected official whose district touches Craven County. Among those present to meet and greet him were Sen. Norman Sanderson, Sen. Harry Brown, Rep. John Bell, Trent Woods Mayor Chuck Tyson and Commissioner Chip Hughes, New Bern Alderman Denny Bucher and Sabrina Bengel.
Joining him on the show was District 3 U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-Farmville, and Craven County Board of Commissioners Chairman Scott Dacey of Trent Woods who Huckabee said had arranged that campaign fundraiser and "came to Iowa at his own expense to campaign for me."
He also did a telephone interview with former two-term South Carolina senator, Jim DeMint, who had led a conservative senate caucus. He officially took over Wednesday as president of the Heritage Foundation, a prestigious conservative think tank after a three-month transition with its founding trustee and president since 1977 Edwin J. Feulner.
Huckabee asked Dacey, a Washington lobbyist, if his county commission job turned out to be more tedious work that he anticipated, to which Dacey replied: "Actually, it's one of the most rewarding things I've done in my life." Even though some of the things you do may seem trivial, "when you get those things right, you improve things" often by just getting people to sit down and talk to each other.
Freedom of religion got a boost from the discourse between Huckabee and Jones regarding Jones continuing effort to get a bill (now H.B. 343) passed to allow military chaplains to close a prayer according to the dictates of their own faith and convictions.
Huckabee said, "I call on (U.S. House Majority Leader Rep.) John Boehner to get this bill on the floor and let elected representatives, Democrats and Republicans, have their stance on the record."
Obamacare got Huckabee opposition after the owner of a local small home healthcare agency with 65 employees asked him how to make the choice between paying $100,000 to $200,000 out of pocket for insurance, paying a $55,000 to 65,000 fine for not doing it, both of which would put him out of business, or just passing the cost on to his employees.
Huckabee said he doesn't understand why people can't see the harm coming from the unintended consequences of the healthcare act, a 2,200-page bill most voting for it had not even read.
"The choice is to elect a new Senate that will repeal Obamacare," he said.
Asked by Hal James of Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association what is the best way to stop growth of government by both Democrats and Republicans, Huckabee said, "Term limits and a requirement to balance the budget."
Many attending said they felt that Huckabee picking New Bern for one of the first audience-attended radio broadcasts in the 1 1/2 year-old show was quite a coup for Hinton and the area. His television show has an audience but the radio show is mostly call-in and Huckabee said, "I like seeing the faces of those asking the questions."
"We developed a relationship with Huckabee's son when they first signed on," said Henry Hinton. "As time has gone on, the governor has hinted that he might be running again for president" and events like this might strengthen his base and brand.
"I wish he'd run this past year," Hinton said. "I have great respect him, his company and sponsors and dealing with the governor has been a pleasure. He is a cut above, a super human being."
In response to a Sun Journal question asking whether or not he plans to seek the Republican nomination again, Huckabee said he hasn't ruled it out, "but I've not made any decision and haven't spent much of my time trying to figure it out."
"I love what I'm doing and I feel like I have impact on political policy, am making a difference, doing what I'm doing now," he said, which includes television and radio shows, a political action committee, and writing a book. "Now I get to make my point without having to go out and beg for money."

Comments: This box was beautiful! I must confess I was somewhat concerned what the quality of this gift would be when it shipped so quickly! I was traveling a great distance to attend the Baptism so I had the gift shipped directly to my destination. Even though I had it gift wrapped I felt compelled to unwrap and inspect. There was no need to do this. It was just what I expected (to my relief) and the parents loved it! When I visited them the day after the Baptism the box was full!

"Baptism Keepsake box"

Comments: This gift is just great, just as shown on the website. Engraving is beautiful. I would order it again! And, it was shipped quickly.
"Keepsake Box"
By Amy Goden
Comments: I was extremely pleased with this product. I found the wood, engraving and style to be of high quality. The only thing I wished it had was some type of cushion/pads to soften the close of the lid. I definitely recommend this box to potential buyers.

OXFORD, Ohio - Sophomore Austin Czarnik scored with 1:25 remaining in overtime to give the No. 4 Miami hockey team a thrilling, 4-3 win over Providence Saturday night at Steve Cady Arena in an entertaining back-and-forth contest. The RedHawks (3-0-1) remained unbeaten with the victory and are off to their best start since 2009-10 while the Friars (1-2-1, 0-1-0 Hockey East) are now winless in their last three games after the two teams tied 1-1 in overtime Friday.
Miami's top line led the way, accounting for three of the four RedHawks goals. Czarnik tallied a pair of scores on the night, tying a career high, his second time doing so, while he finished with a career-high-tying three points, also assisting on Miami's first goal. Freshman Riley Barber had a career night with three points as well for his first multi-point game, including two helpers. Junior Bryon Paulazzo, the other winger on the line, assisted on both a Barber and Czarnik goal, matching his career high for points.
"Tonight we played with a purpose, we skated well and we were in good position to do good things with the puck," head coach Enrico Blasi said. "The effort was there, the team that we saw last week had that enthusiasm. I think we played as close to a complete game as we have played this young season."
Unlike last night, the RedHawks drew first blood Saturday as Barber scored for the third straight game. Initially his blast from the right circle that found the top right corner of the net was ruled no goal as play continued, but at the next stoppage the play was reviewed and the officials ruled it was a goal. Czarnik earned his third assist of the year on the play as he dished to Barber streaking up the right side, where Barber beat Providence netminder Jon Gillies over his left shoulder 6:48 into the opening stanza. Paulazzo also picked up his first assist of the night on the score.
"Everyone came to the rink and the spirit was a lot different from yesterday," Barber said. "We got a great start and we kept it going."
The lead didn't last long however, as the Friars drew even just 1:06 later on their first shot on goal of the night. John Gilmour forced a turnover in the Miami attacking zone and skated the other way with the puck. He dished to Steven McParland at the opposite blue line before getting the puck back on a give-and-go and beating Miami freshman goaltender Jay Williams over his left shoulder from the circle to Williams' right.
Miami was able to regain the lead with just 1:01 remaining in the first frame. After winning a defensive zone faceoff, senior Steven Spinell played the puck square to freshman defenseman Matthew Caito. Caito then found sophomore Blake Coleman waiting on the Providence blue line with a crisp two-line pass that allowed Coleman to get behind the Friar defense. With a defenseman draped on him, Coleman was able to beat Gillies five-hole to make it 2-1 with his team-leading fourth tally of the year.
The RedHawks nearly added to their lead early in the second period as senior Curtis McKenzie was alone in front of the net on the power play but couldn't jam the puck past Gillies. Miami had multiple other good looks on the man advantage but were unable to score. Seconds after the Friars killed the penalty, Steven Shamanski found McParland as he stepped out of the box. McParland fed Tim Schaller in the left circle, where he ripped a shot over Williams' left shoulder to knot the game at 2-2 4:58 into the second stanza.
The back-and-forth affair continued as Miami jumped back on top, 3-2, 11:56 into the middle period. Barber started the play by finding Paulazzo at the Providence blue line. Paulazzo then one-touch passed to Czarnik skating down the middle of the ice where he fired a wrister by Gillies stick-side for his first goal of the year.
With 5:52 remaining in the third period, Coleman leveled Providence's Ross Mauermann but he was called for a five-minute major for charging, giving the Friars an extended power play. After the RedHawks blocked several shots with their body, the Friars pulled Gillies for an extra attacker with 24 ticks left on the power play and 1:15 left in regulation. Miami was able to kill the penalty but four seconds after the kill, Noel Acciari poked in a rebound from Kevin Hart with the extra attacker to pull the Friars even at 3-3 with 48 seconds remaining.
Miami had an odd-man rush in the closing seconds of regulation but sophomore Cody Murphy's shot was saved by Gillies and the teams went to overtime for the second straight night. The RedHawks outshot the Friars, 3-0, in the extra session with Czarnik tallying the game-winner 3:35 into overtime. McKenzie gathered a bouncing puck and carried into the offensive zone, sending a cross-ice pass to Barber, who set up Czarnik with a perfect pass to the slot, where Czarnik again beat Gillies with a wrister on his stick-side.
"I think, for myself, I was a little down. I should've blocked that shot (that led to the tying goal for Providence). They got that rebound so I was down on myself and I knew I had to come back," Czarnik said. "I told (Marc) Hagel that I was going to get a snipe in overtime and luckily that happened."
Williams provided the 'Hawks strong goaltending in clutch situations, including 10 stops in the third period, and ended with 23 saves for his second straight victory. Gillies totaled 26 saves in defeat, including 14 in the second stanza, as Miami finished with a 30-26 shot advantage. Neither team was successful on the power play as the RedHawks were 0-for-2 and the Friars went 0-for-4, including the five-minute man advantage. The 'Hawks finished with 31 blocked shots on the night to the Friars' 13.
Miami returns to the ice next weekend when it opens its 32nd and final season of CCHA play at No. 5/6 Michigan Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27 at Yost Ice Arena.

Most families have a skeleton or two in the closet, but Marika is understandably shocked to learn that what her family has been hiding is a skull and crossbones! While the revelation that her late father was a space pirate would have been earthshaking enough for most teenage girls, discovering that he was the captain of the notorious pirate ship Benten Maru will change Marika's life forever. You see, pirating is a family business, and she's just inherited the position of captain - and her father's former crew is quite intent on making sure Marika accepts the job!
What's a girl to do? Well, if you're a high school student whose prior total naval experience has been working at the space yacht club, there's really only one moral dilemma that has to be resolved: are pirates allowed to wear really short mini-skirts?

Time Value of Commercial Product Returns
2006, Management Science
V. Daniel Guide, Jr., Gilvan C. Souza, Luk Van Wassenhove, Joseph D. Blackburn
Manufacturers and their distributors must cope with an increased flow of returned products from their customers. The value of commercial product returns, which we define as products returned for any reason within 90 days of sale, now exceeds $100 billion annually in the United States. Although the reverse supply chain of returned products represents a sizeable flow of potentially recoverable assets, only a relatively small fraction of the value is currently extracted by manufacturers; a large proportion of the product value erodes away because of long processing delays. Thus, there are significant opportunities to build competitive advantage from making the appropriate reverse supply chain design choices. In this paper, we present a network flow with delay models that includes the marginal value of time to identify the drivers of reverse supply chain design. We illustrate our approach with specific examples from two companies in different industries and then examine how industry clockspeed generally affects the choice between an efficient and a responsive returns network.
Guide, V. Daniel, Jr., Gilvan C. Souza, Luk Van Wassenhove, and Joseph D. Blackburn (2006), "Time Value of Commercial Product Returns," Management Science, Vol. 52, No. 8, pp. 1200-1214.
