Or I could have just listened to Osama bin Laden's own stated reasons and goals for the 9/11 attacks and researched from there. The 9/11 Commission Report and the CIA itself confirm the blowback argument. Bankrupting the country, never ending foreign conflicts etc
Did you take the MBTI test yet Cav? Mine says Im accurately aware of what I know but also what I don't. Whats your MBTI type?

Cookbook - Chris Owen, 'The Kinglake Cookbook: Recipes from the Bushfire Relief Centre', 2010 Reg. No: HT 26795
- Summary:
- Cookbook compiled by Chris Owen, a chef, who was involved in the Kinglake Relief Centre following the Black Saturday bushfires in February 2009.
The text on the rear cover reads: 'Initially relying on donated food and a barbecue-powered kitchen, Chris found himself cooking 300 to 400 meals a night for people who had lost everything. And, in the six weeks he was there, he discovered the true healing power of food - how the ritual of the evening meal helped knit a community back together again. This book is a collection of the tried-and-true recipes Chris relied on in Kinglake - crowd-pleasing, cost-effective favourites that are also a proved way to bring joy to the table".
The book contains photographs from Kinglake immediately following Black Saturday, and chapters which include the background to Chris Owen's involvement in the relief effort at Kinglake and the many challenges he faced, a series of cooking tips and recipes across a range of food groups. The book was purchased from TarraWarra Museum of Art at the opening of their exhibition 'Bushfire Australia' in March 2010.
- Description:
- Ring bound cookbook with printed text and photographs throughout.

PHILADELPHIA Jerry Sandusky's brief call to a TV sportscaster may have done more to raise concern over child-sex crimes than three decades of church-abuse cases.
Sandusky, 67, quickly denied being a pedophile when Bob Costas asked him.
But Penn State's retired defensive coordinator paused, and rambled, when asked whether he's sexually attracted to children.
"He doesn't want to label himself what he is," said former Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, who once led a grand jury investigation into the Philadelphia archdiocese and is working with the charity Sandusky founded to conduct an internal investigation. "This is a pattern of conduct that is so classic in its context: the grooming, the young boys, the gifts, the flattery, the meals, the trips, the jock thing, the touching."
The allegations against Sandusky have toppled iconic coach Joe Paterno and the university's president and riveted the public in the two weeks since his arrest. People are poring over the grand jury report and asking why it took years for witness accounts and police investigations to surface.
Sandusky was charged with abusing eight boys over 15 years, sometimes on campus. He vows to fight the 40-count indictment.
"There are far more numbers (of victims and abusers) in the priest-abuse scandal, and one might even think larger violations of trust," said Frank Cervone, executive director of the Support Center for Child Advocates in Philadelphia. "Ironically, more people are upset (now)."
The 2002 case of one abusive priest in the Archdiocese of Boston led to years of revelations that bishops across the U.S. had for decades moved accused priests among churches without alerting parents or police.
The Penn State case may give more political muscle to those trying to get victims more time to file criminal complaints or lawsuits against the church. Sandusky assaulted some of his boys more than a decade ago, the grand jury said. More accusers have contacted police or lawyers this month, after learning about the report or Sandusky's denials.
"This drives home the point; this is not a Catholic issue. It never has been. It's a kids' issue," said John Salveson, president of the Pennsylvania-based Foundation to Abolish Child Sex Abuse, which supports laws to extend legal time limits. "Whether Penn State, whether the Boy Scouts, whether it's the Catholic church, it's not about those institutions. I think people are starting to see the difference."
Historically, the Catholic church has fought such legislation in Pennsylvania, Colorado and other states, as the hierarchy struggled with abuse claims that have bankrupt some dioceses.
Philadelphia's new archbishop, Charles Chaput, arrived this fall from Denver, where he had publicly apologized to victims and tried to quickly settle litigation. The Denver archdiocese settled 43 claims for a total of $8.3 million from 2005 to 2008 under his watch.
Chaput arrived in Philadelphia in the midst of an unprecedented criminal priest--abuse case. Three priests are charged with raping boys while a former high-ranking diocesan official faces child endangerment charges stemming from accusations that he transferred predators to new parishes.

VILAKKUPARA: The Oscar glory brought by sound engineer Resul Pookutty to India turned into a high-octane celebration in the usually sleepy village of Vilakkupara in Kerala's Kollam district on Monday from where he hails. His natal home there turned into a hotspot of celebration.
A crowd was sitting glued to the television set in tense silence from 5.30 a.m. at the house. Finally by 9 a.m., when the announcement for the sound mixing category, "and the Oscar goes to Slumdog Millionaire," came, everyone exploded with joy.
Some yelled out in excitement, others wildly hugged one another and many of the womenfolk cried out.
Soon the silence returned, to listen to Mr. Pookutty speak after accepting the Oscar. Both at the house and in different locations at Vilakkupara firecrackers were burst.
All his seven siblings, four sisters and three brothers, with their families, were present. With tears in her eyes, sister Zeenat said the whole family was "very, very sad" that their parents were no more with them to celebrate the great recognition Resul had earned. It was again with tears of joy that his siblings distributed sweets to all present.
With a lump in his throat, Mr. Pookutty's brother-in-law A.K. Nazaruddin said the whole family was simply baffled by the award. Mr. Nazaruddin is the man who was primarily instrumental in encouraging Mr. Pookutty to join the Film and TelevisionInstitute of India in Pune. "Right from a young age there was cinematic potential in him."
He said the family would organise a grand welcome to Resul when he arrives in Vilakkupara.
Kerala's Minister for Education and Cultural Affairs, M.A. Baby, who arrived at the house to congratulate the relatives on behalf of the State Government, said that the government would honour Mr. Pookutty in a fitting manner.Related links

GLADEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Carl Edwards claimed his fifth career victory at Nashville Superspeedway, holding off Kyle Busch to win the Nashville 300 on Saturday.
Edwards celebrated the Nationwide Series victory with his trademark back flip and a brief trip to the edge of the grandstands to acknowledge cheering fans.
Edwards' victory kept Busch from pulling off the first double at the track. Busch had dominated in winning the Trucks Series race Friday night.
Edwards led 148 of the 225 laps Saturday and took the lead for good on lap 191, passing Busch and opening up a slight lead and weaving past a slower car on the final lap.
It was Edwards' second Nationwide victory of the season and 31st overall.
Brad Keselowski, a two-time winner in Nashville, finished third, edging pole-sitter Joey Logano in fourth, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in fifth.

My seven-year-old nephew, Ethan, is surrounded by girls. He has two sisters, a bunch of girl cousins and one boy cousin who he doesn't get to see very often. So, this past weekend...
My cousin Lance got married this past weekend to Loretta, the love of his life. These two not only make an awesome couple, but they are kind and creative and thoughtful. And it showed in every moment of their weekend celebration.
My daughter, Macy was super excited to give me my gift this morning. She made it for me on the last day of school, and had to keep it a secret for almost two weeks.
In honor of Father's Day tomorrow, June 15, Jamie Lynn Spears talks to Taste of Country about a hilarious story about her dad.
The city of Grand Rapids, Minnesota will be filled with lions, tigers and bears..'Oh My!' The city will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of 'The Wizard of Oz' all this week.
Sometimes it's hard to find just the right gift for dad. You can only buy so many ties and tools before the 'cool' factor wears off. However, if you make dad a gift it will be something he will cherish forever
Why am I so sad? I should be happy, shouldn't I? I have such mixed emotions, when it comes to my daughter, Makenzie graduating from high school.
This kid is awesome and this mom should be extremely proud. Save your farts.
There's no joy like spending time with your kids, until that joy turns into a pounding headache.
Every brides worst nightmare became a reality for this Minnesota couple.
Okay, we know what you're thinking—not another 'Frozen' lip-sync video! But we promise this dad and daughter version will have you grinning from ear-to-ear from the cuteness.

|Quantification of cell attachment on different materials as candidate electrodes for measurement of quantal exocytosis
|Sen, Atanu
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|A high throughput lab-on-a-chip device is being developed for single cell capture for the purpose of high time resolution quantal exocytosis measurement with high probability of cell docking. This device makes use of DLC (Diamond like Carbon) deposited on a conducting ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) film to bring about a suitable electrode incorporating biocompatibility, transparency and low resistivity and electrochemical activity to enhance cell docking and detect catecholamine release. Various materials have been tested for their ability to promote cell attachment. Diamond like Carbon being an established biocompatible and cytophilic material has been compared with other metal electrodes for cell attachment using an assay developed for this study. Cells tested for attachment were either the insulin-secreting cell line INS-1 or catecholamine-secreting bovine chromaffin cells. With either cell type, I found that the rank order of cell attachment following overnight culture was DLC [greater than] ITO, Pt [greater than] Au. Teflon has also tested as a candidate insulating material to prevent cell attachment outside of this docking site. The cell attachment can be enhanced by coating of poly-d-lysine on the metal while retaining the electrochemical activity of the metal electrode. The fraction of cells that were dead following overnight culture were similar among the tested material. In summary, my results suggest that electrodes fabricated from poly-d-lysine coated DLC insulated with Teflon will selectively promote attachment of cells to measurement electrodes.

Yesterday while at the shops I had a great brainstorm to get some fresh fish for dinner.
We do it every now and again and it had been a while. So when I saw the fish shop approaching I got a burst of inspiration to cook some fresh fish for dinner.
And I tell you if you are looking for a quick healthy dinner, nothing can beat fish and veggies.
In fact it doesn't get much more healthier than what we had last night.
Start off with the best looking piece of fish that you can find. The seafood shop we were at had some great choices and we settled on the John Dory which looked fresh and tasty. Best yet – it had already been cleaned and de-boned. So that cuts down preparation big time!
You Don't Have To Eat Nemo To Enjoy The Benefits Of Fish
So while I got the fish cooking and adding only sea salt, cracked pepper and fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavours while cooking my wife started on the veggies.
All you need to do is select whatever veggies grab your fancy. Aim for about 4 or 5 different types to ensure you're getting various colours of the rainbow for all their nutrient values.
Stir frying the veggies takes no more than a couple of minutes because you want to ensure you're eating crispy vegetables and not the usual soggy stuff you'd find on airplane food.
Add a few different spices to your veggies for seasoning while you're whipping it around in the frying pan and you'll be sweet.
All in all, the whole meal would've only taken 10 minutes – definitely no more than 15 minutes. I didn't time this one but it was fast.
And the end result?
Absolutely fantastic! Even the My Kitchen Rules judges would've been hard pressed to turn their noses up at this masterpiece.
So what's stopping you from eating healthy meals at home? Don't tell me you don't have time to cook when something like this takes less than 15 minutes.

You could always go the lifetime service route. It adds $400 to the upfront cost ($300 for any subsequent TiVo).
With a $20/month DVR rental fee and $5/month CableCard rental fee you'd break even in less than four years. Even sooner if you bought multiple TiVos with lifetime service plans.
I would estimate that you can reasonably expect a TiVo to last about 5 years, so in the long run it's cheaper to buy TiVo and you get a much better experience.

Ewing House is on a hillside, 60 feet above sea level, bordered by the ocean on two sides and overlooks the 'mile-long" Long Bay Beach. From all bedroom and common rooms you can see a number of other islands, the most well known being Jost Van Dyke and St. Thomas while enjoying views of endless sailboats, various birds and fish in the waters below. You are a 1-3 minute walk to the water as the beach begins at the foot of our driveway- about 50 yards from our house. We are one of only a few houses on the island that are really located right on a usable beach. This is a very beautiful beach, which you may recognize as our view often appears on calendars and other publications on the Caribbean. We do feel that we have the most beautiful view on the island. Others must feel the same way as we have had one couple take the house for a month each year for 25 years and a number of other couples who have come in the area of five years or more. We rent the house as either a 2 or 3 bedroom house. We do not rent the third bedroom separately if you only need the two bedrooms. The rates at the top or our listing are only for the two bedrooms. Please see the rates section for the three bedroom prices. We are unable to show them at the top of this listing.
Located on Tortola's West End, Ewing House has walking access to excellent beaches for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling and surfing. West End has many excellent restaurants, a number of running/walking loops along the ocean, tennis and sailing as well as scuba diving day trips leaving from nearby Soper's Hole. Of course, one can also just read in the shade of the porch or sun bathe and watch the waves roll by. The house has 3 bedrooms, each with the same view and size. We had rented numerous houses and generally someone was disappointed when their room was smaller. Each bedroom has its own bath and dressing area. While we prefer ceiling fans and open windows, the bedrooms now also have air conditioning so you have the choice.
The house comes with daily maid service and the maid always gets great reviews. Dion Stoutt manages our house. He has been one of our neighbors and friend for many years. He is very easy to deal with and has an amazing knowledge of the island. Both he and the maid can help you with any problems or questions that you might have. There are so many things to do on the island and ferry trips to numerous other islands are possible. We always visit at least one other island every time that we are there.
Please look at our web page www.ewinghouse.com
We originally built the home as a family with my husband, myself, my sister and my mother. The house was managed by my mom who was a pediatrican in Ohio and although she died in 1994, the house is still sometimes referred to as Dr. Ewing's house. My husband and I live in Greenwich Connecticut and my sister lives in New Rochelle, New York. I have two children, ages 32 and 34, and my son, Chris Relyea, has helped with the rentals of the house for several years. He designed our web site at www.ewinghouse.com. The web site has lots of nice information on the island. My children have each come to the island since they were a few months old. It was a great place for children as they could play in the house during the day and as the living room is open to the sea side, you had the feeling of being at the beach without the sun. We would take them to the beach in the early morning and afternoon and then maybe have lunch in some protected restaurant in between.
Owner/Manager purchased this villa in 1973
We first visited the island as a family in 1973 and left the island 9 days later having purchased our site. The island really opened to tourists in 1966 when a small bridge was built connecting the small island called Beef Island to Tortola and an airport was built on Beef Island. We were one of the very first non-native families to build on the island and feel that we bought a particulary beautiful sight. We walk down our driveway to the beach. We are off a good paved road. This was important to us as so many homes are not on paved roads and we don't mind bouncing around sometimes, we don't want to do it constantly. Also we are in walking distance to a number of good restaurants and hotels with their amenities. As we are on a point, we have a lot of privacy.We like being just above the beach as we don't have a sand fly problem if there is one and we get more breeze.
We do have the view that we have seen on many calendars. It was on the Costco brochure last year for cruise travel. My mother was once in the dentist chair and saw it on his calendar hanging before her.As I said ,it is a very short walk to the beach. It is easy to pop down and have a swim. We do have beach chairs if you want to stay but we frequently just go down and swim and then come up and enjoy the comforts of the open house as the walk back and forth is so easy.. We are very close to a number of good restaurants.
6 of us (3 family member couples) stayed at Ewing House last week- as we came in the door right at sunset and saw that the room was completely open to the patio balcony overlooking the ocean, we knew we had arrived at paradise. Every evening we sat together on this wide balcony sipping wine and commenting how we couldn't believe our luck in finding this place. It was everything it said it would be. I love the beach and waves. My sisters love to swim. My husband loves to snorkel. We had it all. Early in the week, the ocean was quiet and we enjoyed lots of swimming and snorkeling. Later, when the wind and waves picked up, I loved the breakers and pounding surf. I have been to Hawaii and other Virgin Islands and Mexico, and I do not believe there is a more beautiful beach anywhere! One thing I loved about the house was that our rooms were air conditioned, if we wished. The tempterature never varied all week from 70 at night to 82 during the day. I prefer to sleep cooler, so we would turn on the air, but the machine was so quiet that we could still hear the surf all night. The kitchen was adequate to our needs, and we loved charcoal grillling down on the patio. Having a washer/dryer and maid service was great. It was a little climb down the drive to the beach and back, but very doable. Food in Tortola was a bit more expensive than we had expected, so we were glad to be able to take one or two meals a day 'at home'. Some of us also took an excursion to another Island, but there is so much to see and do on Tortola, I stayed put. Mimi, the owner, is a great help and always answered our questions promptly, both before and during the trip. I give it 5 stars.
It's all been said in the previous reviews, but the Ewing House is in an amazing location (less than 1 minute walk to beach) with simply stunning views from every room. We were worried about the heat being there in the summer, but with a gorgeous beach steps away, as well as air conditioning in all the bedrooms, it was a non issue. The property owner (Mimi -- thank you!) couldn't have been nicer and more helpful with every aspect of our family getaway, as was Christine, who gave us the local scoop besides the great housekeeping. As far as the island, it's drop dead gorgeous and a wonderful adventure, very different from our usual Hawaii vacations. The people of Tortola are extremely warm and friendly; we felt safe everywhere we went. A side trip to Virgin Gorda is highly recommended as well -- be sure to visit Spring Bay and not just the Baths, which can get very crowded (Spring Bay was practically deserted and even more beautiful). All said and done, it was a fantastic trip!
We had an awesome vacation at the Ewing House. The house has a great layout, was clean and well maintained with all amentities. We even had daily maid service! The owner was very helpful answering my questions from ferries to grocery stores.
It rained briefly the first morning & we awoke to a beautiful rainbow as we lifted our heads from our pillows. The Ewing House is in a superb location and the views of the beach, water, and sky, not to mention the breathtaking sunsets every night, were stunning every minute of every day.
We did not rent a car. We walked to Sebastian's, The Bumba Shack & Apple Bay to surf. We also walked on an enchanted path (located off of Long Bay Beach) through the woods to Smugglers Cove to snorkel. Sebastian's & Long Bay Resort both offer a convenience store & restaurants for days we wanted to stay close to home & hang on the beach, which is a quick walk down the driveway.
We took a taxi to the ferries to visit Jost Van Dyke (Soggy Dollar Bar), Virgin Gorda (The Baths), to Josiah Bay to surf & to dine at The Sugar Mill & Bananakeet, which we highly recommend. Our taxi driver Louis was always on time, informative & even made stops along the way w/o charging us extra.
I would definitely recommend the Ewing House and Tortola to everyone!
Four of us (two couples) rented Ewing House for 10 days in February 2013. (We occupied the upper level with two bedrooms.)
The view from the deck of this house is stunning. It is a view that is featured in many BVI tourist magazines and materials. There is the constant sound of the surf and the sight of pelicans diving for fish. Some of the pelicans roost in a tree that is just off the deck. Because the house is well above the level of Long Bay, pelicans frequently fly by at eye level, or even below eye level. The house is a destination in itself, a place to be enjoyed with a cool drink and a good book.
The two bedrooms on the upper level are ideal for two couples. Each bedroom has a private bath. (There is also a half bath just off the living area.) We were to be the first renters to try out the new air conditioning in the bedrooms. But we decided that we preferred to sleep with the sliders open (screens closed) so that we could hear the sound of the surf. Perhaps the air conditioning would be desirable in warmer months. The beds were quite comfortable and the bathrooms were more than adequate (plenty of hot water). The kitchen is small but efficient, with plenty of cooking equipment. All the basics are there, and several small stores are nearby.
It was a delight to be able to walk down the driveway to Long Bay beach. The water is warm and the sand is soft. The Long Bay Beach Resort is a short walk from the house. We had a couple of meals at the Resort's dining area that is set on the beach. We also had excellent meals at Sebastian's and Sugar Mill Inn – both within a mile of the house. We also had a number of meals at the house – because we wanted to be able to enjoy the view, including the sun setting over St. Thomas, as we ate.
It is a fairly short drive from the house to the outstanding small beach at Smuggler's Cove. The road to Smuggler's Cove is a dirt road that has a few fairly deep holes in it. We were happy to have rented an SUV with high ground clearance. We rented our car from Jerry's Car Rental in West End. The car was in very good shape and Jerry was courteous and helpful.
One word of warning to anyone visiting BVI. Don't take the posted ferry schedules too seriously – especially when you are leaving to catch a plane on St. Thomas. Call a day ahead to check ferry departure times from West End and Road Town. Our outcome was fine but not without some nail-biting.?
Ewing House is perfectly situated on Long Bay with magnificent vistas of the bay and lovely breezes. The house is well equipped and maintained (including a very comfortable 'in-law' apartment on the lower level with its own kitchenette and patios), maid service every day plus a very obliging property manager to answer all questions. Furnishings are comfortable, plenty of hot water and fresh linens, TV and washer/dryer.
Access to the beach is a short walk down the driveway, its proximity perfect for young and not so young (three generations in our group). The beach itself is perfect for boogie boarding, great fun. Since you can walk quite far out in the gentle surf, it worked for our 7-year-old as well. Nearby is Long Bay Resort where you can play tennis or swim in their lovely pool as an alternative, for a daily fee.
There are many other things to do on the island (a car is essential). All in all we felt it was a great spot for a family vacation.
We enjoyed staying at Ewing House. It is a home away from home with beautiful views of the islands across the water, the waves rolling in towards the beach, and the Long Bay Resort and Spa. The house is modern, comfortable, and extremely functional. The three suites are very comfortable for at least six people, and the kitchen and bathrooms appear to have been recently upgraded. We always enjoy walking to everywhere from the Ewing House, like having breakfast at Sugar Mill, having drinks at Sebastian's at sunset and enjoying the pool, tennis and spa facilities at Long Bay. And the famous Bomba Shack is right down the road from Sebastian's.
We recommend this carefree house for a family and friends vacationing together. The owners of Ewing House are extremely pleasant and friendly. Daniel Chen
We walk to several restaurants and quite a few more are withing 1-2 miles. Horseback riding has been available in the past but we do not know if this is still the case. The island has a botanical garden and a national park for walking on the top of one of the mountain peaks. There are a number of nearby grocery stores but a rental car or taxi is needed. There are many nearby beaches and each is unique. The house has two bedroom upstairs and another on the floor below. The downstairs bedroom has a small additional kitchen. The beds can be made up as twin beds or king sized. Beach chairs are usually available but they deteriorate quickly, can not be bought on the island so they will not seem special. We are within 10-15 minutes of ferries to other islands.

Officers Say Culture of Retaliation Still Exists in NYPD
Monday, June 25, 2012
Forty years after infamous NYPD whistle-blower Frank Serpico broke through the so-called blue wall of silence, three former detectives and one current one who filed suit against the NYPD claims the culture of retaliation for reporting corruption still exists.
Former Detective James E. Griffin found "rat" written on his locker within a month of reporting a fellow officer to Internal Affairs, and many officers refused to make eye contact and moved their desks to sit farther from him, according to the New York Times.
"After it came to light that I called Internal Affairs, I was completely ignored at work, people wrote rat on my locker, amongst many other things," Griffin told WNYC.
Former Detective Jeffrey McAvoy, who reported a lieutenant he suspected of stealing money from a drug dealer, said when he joined the Bronx gang squad, his sergeant said he had a reputation of reporting "everything to the IAB," the paper reported, citing the lawsuit.
When WNYC caught up with Serpico last fall, the 75-year old made famous by a Sidney Lumet's biopic said he still believes corruption in the department is rampant.
"In my time no, not every policeman was corrupt," he told WNYC. "But those that were corrupt were the ones that ran the show. And that's the way it works today."
At the time, Paul Browne, chief spokesman for the department, said Serpico's remarks show "ignorance born out of being away for 40 years."
"We have almost as many people involved in fighting corruption and prosecuting police officers internally … as we have assigned to counter terrorism, about a 1,000 people," Browne said. "Far, far different from when Frank Serpico was a police officer."
Last month, the chief counsel for a group tasked with eradicating corruption in the NYPD during the 1970s said the so-called blue wall of silence is a fabrication.
"The Blue Wall of Silence we found to be something of a myth," Michael Armstrong, who ran day-to-day operations for an anti-police corruption unit, told WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show last month. "It turns out we had a total of six cops that we caught, and five of them talked."
Armstrong headed the Knapp Commission, a body formed by Mayor John Lindsay after Serpico exposed corruption within the department.

Shamefully enough, it seams Mr Armstrong himself has become part and parcel of that Blue Wall.
I support, admire and respect the officers that come forward in an effort to make the policeman's
and the communities lot a happier one at great peril to their personal lives and profession.
They truly deserve the title of New York's Finest and the Best Detectives in the world.
They are my solace and reward. If only the administration would acknowledge, reward and follow their examples, it would be a safer and more civil society for all concerned.
If you read the complete article in the New York Times it reads that my squad mishandled the case. I want to correct this to inform the readers that one detective on my team mishandled the case....and got away with it. My union delegate is the individual who tried to frame me. While the Bronx District Attorney's Office appears to be making way as far as the blue wall of silence is concerned, I want to let you know that it was that same office that did not call me to testify on a homicide case in which they lost and a confessed murderer was set free to walk our streets. Since I was present when the defendant was read Miranda Warnings and made a full confession I would think that I would be a very important witness to have testified I've contacted the Bronx District Attorney to conduct an investigation.

Gas price declines lag behind crude oil
Claire Paul is relieved that gasoline prices have declined in the past two weeks but says it's not enough.
This summer's high prices have kept Paul off the roads when she's not working.
"It's been very hard to pay so much to fill a car with such a small gas tank," Paul said Tuesday at the Sunoco gas station on U.S. 41 and Bonita Beach Road. "It certainly has kept me afoot. I don't drive anywhere."
At $3.96 a gallon, Paul paid $48.92 to pump less than 13 gallons of gas into her 2001 Nissan Altima.
The Bonita Springs resident often drives as far as East Naples for work as a therapist, so she fills the tank every week.
"Prices going down makes me happier for sure," she said. "But I wish they would do something that would lower the prices more. It's just so blatant, everyone's in it for the buck."
Gasoline prices started dropping this month but not as fast as the declining prices of crude oil.
In the past two weeks, oil has gone from more than $145 per barrel to less than $125, a 16 percent drop.
But local retail gas prices are down only 3 percent, from a record high of $4.06 on July 17 to $3.94 on Tuesday, according to numbers released by AAA.
"The price of crude has been falling dramatically and this morning is very low, at $121 a barrel," AAA spokesman Gregg Laskoski said Tuesday. "But there tends to be a lag time before we see the impact on the retail price."
Gas prices might be slow to decline because retailers are reluctant to drop prices until local competition forces them to, Laskoski said.
Another reason might be that retailers hadn't raised prices as much as the market warranted earlier in the year.
"They get very little profit margin selling gasoline," Laskoski said. "Their profits come when consumers go into the store. They may have felt that they couldn't just keep raising prices and raising prices, and gasoline became almost a loss leader for them."
Charlie Rooney, chairman elect of the Florida Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association, said the price lag works both ways. Rooney is also vice president of Rainey Cawthon Distributors, which owns nine Shell stations in Tallahassee.
"It's the same when prices go up," Rooney said. "You don't usually see stations jumping prices 10 or 15 cents at a time, it's a gradual rise. The same is true when prices go down."
The unpredictability of the oil market is a factor, Rooney said.
"Yesterday, oil prices took a little jump and today it's going down again. Everyone's a little gun-shy because if you drop your prices too much you might have to turn around and raise them again the next day," Rooney said.
Laskoski said the lag between crude prices and gasoline prices can be as long as two weeks.
That means gas prices might continue to decline for the next few weeks, which is good news for Marco Island resident Dan Bartlett.
A sales representative for Clear Choice Shutters, Bartlett is on the road all week. It takes $80 to fill his Nissan Murano.
Bartlett hasn't changed his driving habits this summer but his weekends have become more expensive.
"It affects my boating more than anything else," he said. "I put $200 worth of gas in the boat this weekend."
Despite the cost, Bartlett takes his new 22-foot Pathfinder flats boat on the water regularly.
"It sounds like there's news that the prices will keep dropping," he said. "It would be nice if that means lower prices at the marinas."
Ron Bogart was filling his Dodge 3500 pickup truck with diesel fuel, at $4.66 per gallon. He uses the truck and an attached trailer to haul high-end automobiles for his east coast-based Royal Palm Beach transport business.
He said his fuel costs have risen to about $30,000 a year.

MacBook Pro + Apple LED Cinema External = ?
1 Attachment(s)
I have this brand new Apple Cinema display attached to my MacBook. I cannot for the life of me get this thing to display a sane image. The specs:
Apple LED Cinema Display (24") connected via display port
MacBook Pro Hardware 5.1
GeForce 9600M GT
VBios: 62.94.58.00.05
Tried under Ubuntu Intrepid x32, x64, Jaunty x64
Nvidia native driver 177.52 under the first two and 180.xx under jaunty
The only way I'm getting anything is using the Twinview option. It responds but the display is scrambled. I (hopefully) have attached an image of the result. It appears that the horizontal sync is off or something. Any ideas?

I had a delightful, comfortable stay at Lorenzo's place. The room was spacious and the apartment is very clean - he has a cleaning service that comes in each week.
I was in Rome during the resignation of President of the Italian Republic Napolitano and election in the fourth round of the new President Mattarella. Lorenzo is a journalist for a major weekly TV news broadcast and gave me a "front row seat" to the facinating politics of the transition. He speaks fluent English and French as well as his native Italian and has an interesting grasp of world politics because of his familiarity with British and French politics and culture.
Lorenzo was the perfect host and made me feel at home both with his friendship and by giving me all the important information I needed about his place and the surrounding district to feel like the place was my own.
Staying at Lorenzos flat was Perfect! It was beautiful, comfortable, clean and very Close to the most Common sights! You can discover Rom by foot from his place. Furthermore Lorenzo is a perfect Host! Everything Worked easily and without any Problems. Lorenzo answers all questions quick and gives you a lot of good advices for the visit. Thank you very much for everything! We really enjoyed our visit!
Nous avons passé un superbe week-end à Rome, et l'appartement de Lorenzo y a fortement contribué. Très bien équipé très proche du métro, simple d'accès nous avons passé trois jours formidables ! Merci Lorenzo !
First, location. The apartment is within walking distance, or a very fast one-stop ride on the metro. Two metro stops are less than a 5 minute walk, and provide great access to the Vatican, and northern and southern areas. But because the Rome metro doesn't go into the historic center of the city, walking there takes about 10-25 minutes depending on which place. Shopping is great, with multiple good food markets no more than a 5-minute walk. Restaurants of all qualities are all around. And the area is quite safe.
Second, the apartment. The bedroom has a wonderful mattress, four pillows, lots of storage space, complete privacy, and a window away from the street. The kitchen is complete, with a wonderful coffee-maker, with everything necessary for cooking, though sometimes a bit untidy. The private bathroom is clean, with a good shower, though the hot water requires a minute or two to arrive. Washing machine works fine and drying is no problem. It is a very good bargain for that location.
Third, the host. His description of the location, the apartment, and himself are highly accurate. He does work an awful lot, and is busy at that work many evenings. But when home, he is always available for any questions, is helpful, and offers interesting background on many aspects of Rome and its society. Fun to chat with and generous, he is a good Airbnb host.
The stay at Lorenzo was perfect. He is very friendly and attentive. The room is quiet and the flat is central. Everything was fine. Grazie, Lorenzo.
Lorenzo's place is PERFECT. It's charming, spacious, clean, comfortable, conveniently located, and has all the amenities you need. Lorenzo as a host is incredibly gracious, interesting, and helpful. He answered all of my questions swiftly, and when Air France cancelled our flight out of Rome, he offered to sleep at his friend's and let us stay in his room! Which is amazing!
+convenient location, +easy-going host, +small breakfast included, +bike-rental next door, everything was fine! I can definitely recommend this place and host

Would my alternator being faulty cause my car's ability to maintain a certain speed and shifting capabilities faulty?
I had to get a jump after stopping for gas and within 5 miles my car started shifting down extremely hard and would speed up and slow down erratically on it's own accord. The radio and blinkers stopped working and my panel kept jumping around....help :(
1 Answer
Jimm 1/19/2013Possibly - the task of the alternator is to recharge the battery from the starting of the engine and to power many electrical accessories. Have the charging system checked - including the alternator output - for free -at any local auto parts store.
Check the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.drivewire.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts.
For example, they (RockAuto) list the alternator from around $102.00 for your vehicle.

|Ravens select LB Brown in 2nd-round of draft
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 26 April 2013 15:36
Baltimore moved up in a trade with Seattle to get Brown, a 6-foot, 242-pounder who served as a team captain with the Wildcats after transferring from Miami.
Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta calls Brown ``a four-down linebacker who's very good in coverage.''
To get Brown, the Ravens gave Seattle their second-round pick at No. 62, a fifth and a sixth-round selection.
Brown has a chance to fill the middle linebacker spot vacated by Ray Lewis, who retired after Baltimore won the Super Bowl in February.
Brown says, ``It's an opportunity to play a great role in the defense scheme, like Ray did.''

Addressing homelessness
Addressing homelessness is important because it is a bellwether for our society. It tells us if our education system is working, our criminal justice system is working, our physical and mental health systems are working, and whether we are providing our community members the support and opportunities they need.
Stephen V. Sundborg, S.J.
President, Seattle University
Member of CEH Governing Board
The Committee to End Homelessness (CEH) is a broad coalition of government, business, faith communities, nonprofits, and homeless advocates working together to implement the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness in King County.
2013 CEH Annual Report
The Committee to End Homelessness' 2013 Annual Report establishes our community-driven vision to make the experience of homelessness in King County a rare, brief, and one-time occurrence. The report highlights our strategic approach for each of these outcomes and the collective action taking place across the county to reach our goal. Download the report here.
One Home Campaign
At any given time, roughly 1,000 people in King County have what they need to put homelessness firmly behind them — a rental housing voucher — but they can't find a place to use it in King County's competitive rental market. These 1,000 renters need housing, and we have incentives, protections and services that are available to landlords today, at no cost.
Learn about these incentives through the One Home campaign, a partnership between government, nonprofits, philanthropy, and property owners.
2015 Legislative Priorities
With the 2015 Washington State Legislative Session fast approaching, CEH has identified several pieces of legislation that can help make homelessness rare, brief, and one-time in King County. Read a full list of CEH endorsed legislative priorities.

One Night Count Final Tally Shows Decline in Unsheltered Veterans and Chronically Homeless
The final tally from the One Night Count in January shows a notable reduction in the number of homeless veterans and people with chronic homelessness. Compared to 2014, the number of veterans without shelter decreased by nearly 15 percent, and the number of chronically homeless people without shelter declined by over 30 percent. Overall, the point-in-time count found a total of 10,047 people homeless on January 23, 2015, up 8 percent over 2014, including 3,772 who were unsheltered and 6,275 who were living in shelter or temporary housing. The unsheltered count of 3,772 was a 21 percent increase from the 2014 unsheltered count of 3,123. See the full report here and read the press release here.
CEH Draft Strategic Plan
In 2005, our community, along with every county in Washington and most major cities across the country, set the ambitious goal of ending homelessness in ten years. Homelessness remains a crisis here in King County, and we must act urgently and strategically. CEH drafted a new strategic plan to pivot from our past work.
Update 4/15/15: Read the final draft strategic plan here.
Changes in 2015 CEH Committee Meeting Schedule
Please note that the April Governing Board has been moved to June 30 to the Georgetown Campus of South Seattle Community College (6737 Corson Ave S, Seattle, WA). The Governing Board will be immediately followed by our Annual Conference from 10:30am to noon at the same location. For more information, refer to the full list of 2015 CEH meetings.
One Night Count Reveals 3,772 Unsheltered in King County on a Single Night
On January 23, from 2am to 5am, nearly one thousand volunteers across King County counted the men, women and children who are unsheltered on a single night in our community. They reported 3,772 people had no shelter in King County last night, a 21% increase over those found without shelter last year. During the 2014 Count, volunteers found 3,123 people surviving outside without shelter. Currently, King County emergency shelters and transitional housing can hold over 6,000 individuals each night.
Organized by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, the count found people in sleeping in doorways, beneath overpasses, in their vehicles, in alleys, or walking around, in the communities of Auburn, Bellevue, Bothell, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Kenmore, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Seattle, Shoreline, Skyway, Vashon Island, White Center and Woodinville.
Additionally, yesterday afternoon CEH coordinated with providers, community partners, and the United Way of King County to conduct "Count Us In", an annual effort to count youth and young adults aged 12-25 who are unstably housed or homeless. Count Us In builds better understanding about this unique population by including a survey, conducted by service providers, to examine the nature and extent of homelessness among youth and young adults in King County. Complete Count Us In results will be released soon.
While the number of unsheltered individuals continues to grow in our community, recent successes in cities such as Salt Lake City and New Orleans show that we also know which interventions and investments can have a lasting impact in making homelessness rare, brief, and one-time in King County.
In 2015, we are also zeroing in on ending veteran homelessness, expanding shelter in Seattle and other parts of the county, adding new permanent supportive housing, and increasing funding for rent assistance and job training. We must also continue to recognize and combat the effect that current state policy has in creating homelessness by supporting increased affordable housing, mental health services, renter protections, and supports for youth and families experiencing homelessness.
Learn more about how this year's One Night Count and Count Us In fit in the context of regional data and efforts to end homelessness in our community.
Read a summary of the 2015 One Night Count.
Thank you to everyone who participated in these vital events to raise awareness about our homeless neighbors.

These 1,000 renters need housing, and we have incentives, protections and services that are available to landlords today, at no cost.
Learn about these incentives through the One Home campaign, a partnership between government, nonprofits, philanthropy, and property owners.
Coordinated Entry and Assessment Community Forum
In 2012, King County launched Family Housing Connection (FHC), a coordinated entry assessment and referral process for families experiencing homelessness in King County. Over the past two and a half years, learnings from local experience and changes in expectations at the Federal and State level have influenced a number of policy and practice shifts. Consulting firm Focus Strategies has been engaged by the Committee to End Homelessness (CEH) to assess the progress to date and recommend refinements to the system as needed.
At the community meeting on November 6th, Katharine Gale of Focus Strategies reviewed the findings from the first phase of the project, presented information on other system models, and facilitated small group conversation with stakeholders to address key changes. You can find her PowerPoint presentation here.
2015 CEH Legislative Priorities
With the 2015 Washington State Legislative Session fast approaching, CEH has identified several pieces of legislation that can help make homelessness rare, brief, and one-time in King County. Read descriptions of the three priorities led by CEH at the upcoming session below or read a full list of CEH endorsed legislative priorities.
Continue to Fund the Washington State Housing Trust Fund
Support funding for the Housing Trust Fund (HTF), which is funded within the State Capital Budget, at the highest possible level. The availability of low income and homeless housing, as funded through the HTF, is fundamental to ending homelessness. Provide flexibility for meeting a wide variety of local needs and for leveraging other resources.
Preserve and Strengthen the Housing and Essential Needs (HEN) Program
Preserve, improve and sustain HEN assistance. Hold harmless HEN assistance (funded at $59 million in previous budgets), the Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) cash grant program, and SSI Facilitation Services. Improve the program by removing the current restriction on chemical dependency as primary disability; increasing ABD cash grant and/or; allowing ABD recipients to retain their HEN benefit for an extended period of time. (As we enter the 2015 session, Commerce has proposed deep cuts to HEN to respond to State requirements to cut 15% of overall budgets.)
CEH further supports the following legislative priorities which will be led by our partner organizations. Read a full description of each partner-led priority.
Partner led Legislative Priorities:
- Make Housing Bonds Effective Now
- Fund the Washington Youth and Families Fund
- Fund Expansion of Extended Foster Care to Last Cohort (Foster Care to 21)
- Pass the Homeless Youth Act and Establish the Office of Homeless Youth Programs
- Create a Medicaid Benefit for Tenant Support Services in Permanent Supportive Housing
- Fair Tenant Screening Act
- Support Access to Critical Services – Fund 211 Services
- Certificate of Restoration
- Source of Income Restrictions
- Prohibit Discharge into Homelessness among Mainstream Systems
- Restore TANF Cuts
- Support Student's Housing Stability
Single Adult Taskforce Brief on Interim Survival Mechanisms
CEH's Single Adult Taskforce created a brief on Interim Survival Mechanisms in King County, such as tent encampments and car camping. Read their analysis and policy recommendations here.
2013 Annual Report: Making Homelessness Rare, Brief, and One-Time
The Committee to End Homelessness' 2013 Annual Report establishes our community-driven vision to make the experience of homelessness in King County a rare, brief, and one-time occurrence. The report highlights our strategic approach for each of these outcomes and the collective action taking place across the county to reach our goal.

Microsurgeons Are Superstitious? A Statistical Survey by Questionnaire.
Summary of "Microsurgeons Are Superstitious? A Statistical Survey by Questionnaire."
In Japan, many people believe in superstitions or omens. Microsurgery results, however, are scientific and thus considered to be black or white. Even if the operator is a proficient master, the possibility of flap necrosis is inevitable. It can be said that microsurgeons live in a world of uncertainty where "might" rules. How do they prepare themselves for an operation? We administered a questionnaire to front-line Japanese microsurgeons and thereby attempted to examine the mental side of these experts. We constructed a detailed questionnaire regarding several factors, including the annual number of microsurgeries, the consciousness of daily life, the physician before and after the operation, and even concerning superstition, habits for good luck, or other beliefs. We sent the survey to the front-line Japanese microsurgeons in our country by e-mail and 20 replies were returned. Many of the surgeons prepare themselves before the operation, from the day before until just before the operation. These surgeons can be divided into three types: type A, microsurgeons who prepare themselves on a daily basis and do not believe in a charm or a jinx; type B, those who do not prepare themselves especially in daily life, but have some charm or jinx; and type C, surgeons who do not have special daily preparation or belief in a superstition. The type C group included a significant number of experienced microsurgeons. Experienced microsurgeons as leaders or trainers of young microsurgeons tend to be natural and not mystic in daily life and thus tend not to be superstitious.

Facebook is helping corporations build awareness, provide enhanced customer service, and engage both employees and customers in the online experience. Some quick tips to get you started.
At the very core of its functionality and the origin of its birth, Facebook is about connecting a face with a name. When launching on Facebook, companies have the unique opportunity to connect with and introduce their audiences to the face of their brand or company. A corporate Facebook page can support a variety of corporate goals, including staff recruitment and retention, audience engagement, morale building, e-commerce, branding, and awareness. But, determining how to best represent a corporation on Facebook remains a challenge to those charged with the task.
Consider the individual on Facebook. A person's "picture" evolves over time as her life changes and she adds content in many forms and creates depth to her profile. Her friends and family contribute significantly to the picture that emerges. When establishing a corporate Facebook page, one mistake people make is to try and control that picture by creating a static, one-way, marketing-polished picture for audience consumption. Consumption by itself is not the right goal for this medium -- that would imply you are treating it like an advertising channel and not social media, which are two distinctly different things. To succeed on Facebook you want to build it, grow it, and measure your success against the interaction and dialogue you are able to create.
Build It
Is human resources attempting to recruit new staffers through a channel those potential staffers know, use, and trust? Is the marketing department or consumer affairs looking to connect with audiences and better understand their issues or spot trends? When launching a corporate Facebook page -- like any other Web endeavor -- start with specific objectives, a thorough understanding of the intended audience and their channel specific habits plus a plan to measure, optimize, enhance, and grow results over time.
The people or divisions leading the creation of the corporate Facebook page have much to do with the effort's objectives. Facebook groups can provide a closed-door opportunity for corporations to communicate with employees about upcoming events, corporate holidays, employee news, or any other relevant information to help raise morale. On the other hand, open fan pages allow people searching for the company or brand to become a fan of and contribute to the page in an open and sharing environment.
There are so many options to build content on a fan page. Depending on the goals you could include product polls, information about new products, event notifications, links to newsletters, an insider's club, and many other branded experiences for the fans.
Grow It
A critical element of any successful Facebook page is the commitment to provide continual updates and establish a two-way dialogue. It's tempting to think of this as a free channel but it requires both human and monetary investment to succeed. If there's no investment in properly trained staff to maintain the effort, it will fail. Often this is internal staff but not always. Internal staff members have an intimate knowledge of corporate information and are likely to have the answers and information at hand to create a productive dialogue. However, if they are not trained to respond authentically to the organic nature of the dialogue, they will not maximize the value of the exchange for either the corporation or the audience. Just because a person is young and uses social media does not mean they understand this critical exchange. Make sure you invest in training.
Facebook pages, like all social media, must be appropriately seeded to grow effectively. Once you have created value in the page, craft a strategy to introduce that page to audiences with incentives to grow the connections. There has to be real value present to fuel the growth. That value can reside in the corporate-produced content or offers, in the interactions that occur, or in audience-supplied content.
Make sure the commitment is ongoing and resides in more than one enthusiastic supporter. An abandoned Facebook page is much worse than no Facebook page. Think about what that says to your customers and potential customers. "We used to be interested in listening to you and exchanging dialogue, but we aren't anymore -- haven't been for a while, chump."
Measure It
Social media success requires that you measure the right things to get the right results. Create a dashboard specific to your stated objectives to track the success of your efforts. This should key into all your Web activity, tapping analytics like site stats, keyword search activity, Twitter activity and tone, plus many other information sources. When you create your dashboard, ensure that less savvy executives can relate to it and that it establishes a strong connection between the foreign metrics they are seeing and other corporate goals. Many good paid options exist but also explore low cost or even free tools to meet your measurement needs.
Quick Tips to Get You Started
Here's some quick tips to keep in mind as you investigate and launch on Facebook:
Facebook has helped corporations bolster employee morale, provide enhanced customer service, build awareness and affinity, and engaged both employees and customers in the online experience. With over 52 million U.S. subscribers to Facebook ready to engage with your brands and company, it represents a unique opportunity requiring a unique strategy. Don't wait.

Hey guys! I've been oh so busy, with my new job, keeping fit and enjoying the spurt of hot weather on the weekend. I feel great!
Especially lovin' my new asics which I told you about recently.
I wore them walking/running on the weekend, and they were absolutely comfortable and light. I felt pretty stylish in them too. The amazing thing is that they fit perfectly. Thanks to The Athletes Foot I was lucky enough to have their expert Fitting Technician Keiran help me find the absolute right fit and style for Summer! I really do recommend that you do the same, and get your 'fit' too!!!
Who doesn't want the right 'fit' for Summer?
How I felt when walking in the shoe:
You can get your own fit in store at The Athletes Foot too OR jump online at www.theathletesfoot.com.au
You know I love bringing to you awesome reviews, and of course giveaways. So here is yet another fabulous giveaway!
CLOSED: Would you like the chance to win a $100 voucher to The Athlete's Foot?
To enter, just tell me in a comment below if you like the idea of getting your own Fit this Summer, and why!

I love the idea of getting my own fit this summer, I love linking fashion and fitness to get that extra motivation going and whoever said beauty is pain obviously didn't get an athlete's foot fitting.
Good luck Jacinta!
I think getting the right fit is really important and shouldn´t be taken for granted. I spend my 9 to 5 in an office job so getting out and about during the lunch hour or after work is crucial to undoing all the damage that sitting for long hours does. Having the right fit would help with posture alignment and back problems – the perils of a desk job!
I'm in a 9-5 desk job too – I can totally relate!!!!! Good luck Dian!
I like the idea of getting fit because by doing so it enables you to live your life to the fullest (who doesn't want that!), and should definitely be a priority for everyone to try get fit. And by having the correct 'fit' of shoe helps this even more, because you don't want to be doing daily exercise but at the same time damaging yourself because your shoes aren't supporting you correctly.
The reason I want to get fit this Summer is because for the past year I have attempted multiple times to motivate myself to improve my lifestyle and health but seem to always fall short. I hope that this Summer I will be able to dramatically increase my motivation so that I can make a difference in my body and my life and I believe that by getting the right 'fit' in my shoe will motivate me even more and enable me to push a little bit harder to achieve a healthier, better and fitter lifel!
Good luck Michelle! :) I hope you are able to increase your motivation – I'm on the same boat. Really want to push harder and do more for my fitness.
i,ve started running but my shoes musnt be the right fit as i am getting excruciating pain at the back of my heels,i,m not giving up though but some new shoes just might do the trick.
Good luck Kath!
I like the idea of getting even fitter this summer, the better I look, the more my ex will regret throwing me away. And the more fun I'm going to have fending potential suitors off ;)
Good luck Dee! :)
Getting the right fit is essential to complete my goal of fitness. If I still could not achieve my fitness goal, at least I know I have exhausted every option and gave 100% of my effort. I believe being healthy is not only taking care of our diet, but also our mind and every single physical part of our body (including our feet).
Good luck Ying Ying!
In my opinion, Fit is definetely important for me especially because I have wider feet. I have first hand experienced the outcomes of a bad fit and they are not pleasant… In order to achieve my goals, I believe that shoes are the most important part of your ensemble, to get the most out of your training!! :)
Good luck Janelle! It's great to hear that the Fit is something which would be really helpful!
Oooh, I certainly do. If you get your shoes fit professionally and they fit comfortably, it makes such a difference – it can be the difference between working out and not!
Totally agree! Good luck Sonya!
I need to get fit because that's what I should be doing since I am going to get married next year!
Oh wow – how exciting! Good luck Karina!
I like the idea of getting fit for summer. Having been unwell, it would be nice to start slow with walking and getting these bones mobile :) Would love some great shoes from the Athletes foot to start my journey.
Good luck Kerry!
I've lost a heap of weight so feel encouraged to get fit for summer and wearing some gorgeous new clothes.
Good luck Tracy!
There is nothing better than feeling fabulous and fit in sexy new shoes. Whether we're losing weight, taking the dog for a walk or going for that morning jog putting on trainers you love makes a world of difference. I love the idea of Fit for Summer it's that time of year when I feel happiest.
Good luck Kat!
The weather's warm and summer's here
Losing weight is very near
Need these shoes to get me there
Getting fit and fabulous if I dare!!!
Good luck Nicole! :)
February 2013 brings my daughters 1st brthday and no more legitimate excuses for this baby belly to still be hanging around. So its time to get my fit on.
Good luck !!
Two beastly old bunions causes aches in my feet.
A FIT of fine walkers would see me walking and fit… SWEET!
Good luck Jennifer!
Who doesn't love getting or keeping fit and looking good?! It is important for me especially this summer. I've moving to the Sunshine Coast in two weeks and have just found out I'm expecting so I need to be the healthiest I can be for my new baby!
Congrats!!! Good luck Peta! :)
I'm definitely all for getting the perfect fit for Summer. Summer time is all about the heat, blood, sweat (yuck!) and tears and if there's a even a slight way to feel comfortable and relaxed is to be comfortable in your shoes! I don't want to come out of Summer with sore feet so the perfect fit is more than important to me.
Good luck Jessica :)
Not for me but for my mum, I would love for her to have the perfect pair of shoes! She's starting to regularly exercise now because of her diabetes and I would love for her to be fitted in shoes light as air! Until there is a cure for diabetes, she would definitely be needing a perfect fit!
Good luck Thanh!
As an older solo mum of three children, fitness is a piority. It's time for me without excuses to get out each morning and walk and walk and walk!
Love the sound of that! Good luck Rosslyn!
As a healthy lifestyle blogger, keeping fit is very important to me. I love exercising outdoors in the summer, it's so much better to be running around the neighbourhood or at the park rather than on the treadmill!
I agree! Good luck Cyndie! :)
I love the Athlete's Foot stores, because you actually have experts assessing you for the right shoe to fit your foot. I have just passed 40(41, OMG!)and find that when trying to keep fit, a shoe that fits well is REALLY important, or I end up paying for my efforts with sore heels or ankles. I would love to win to be outfitted for a pair of joggers that will allow me to keep fit just a bit more easily!
Good luck Kelly!
Being healthy not just fit is really important to me. I want be to grow up doing all the fun things with my daughter not be on the sidelines.
Good luck Sarah!
I've just joined a gym after gaining thirty kilos from being on antidepressents. I'm off the pills and trying to be happy naturally which I think excercise will help. I'd love a new pair of shoes to help me on my way!
Good luck Clare!
I love cycling daily and I've just started running daily too, so the perfect fit is incredibly important to care for my feet so that I can keep up this regime for my entire life.
Good luck Elizabeth :)!
Considering the footprints we leave on this earth are totally unique, it makes sense to get individually fitted. Adele is Rolling in the Deep, but my exaggerated pronation means my feet are rolling all over the place! This offer is really timely because I need to lose that weight I put on last Winter, otherwise I will raise and then double it by next year. Which is only good when you're playing poker.
Good Luck Annie!
Love it, fit feet are essential to an aligned body ready to enjoy life!
Good luck Tara!
I bought my runners on-line and they are slightly too big. If I don't wear thick ankle socks then the left one sometimes slips off slightly. So I'm really ready to get my "fit" this Summer.
Walking my dogs on the beach each afternoon as I live close to the beach and it is no effort, I enjoy it.

The lack of game broadcasts will no doubt be a disappointment for some football fans, but it sounds like there will still be plenty of interesting content available.

Early Top 200 rankings for 2010
Updated: January 25, 2010, 8:33 PM ETBy Tristan H. Cockcroft | ESPN.com
It's never too early to start thinking about 2010.
Listed below is my preliminary top 200 for the 2010 fantasy baseball season. Players are evaluated primarily using a standard ESPN 10-team league with Rotisserie 5x5 scoring, but a player's talents in all facets of fantasy are considered when doing the rankings. I'll keep these rankings updated throughout the offseason, leading into the release of the Draft Kit during the winter.
Latest update: January 25.
