Wynne Moskop, Ph.D., will present "Feminist Care Theory and Global Injustice" from noon-1 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, in McGannon Hall, room 144.
Everyone is welcome. Bring your lunches. Refreshments will be provided.About the talk:
In the last two decades, leading advocates of a feminist ethic of care have developed care as a comprehensive moral theory that can frame, or perhaps even replace, justice.
Care thinkers now apply the concept of care to global geographic disparities by suggesting ways in which countries in the global North should care for countries in the global South that depend on them for aid.
However, their implicit analogy here to parents caring for dependent children calls attention to a neglected problem in care theory that detracts from its capacity to address global injustices.
The ever-present potential for the giver of care to dominate the recipient requires an understanding of care that points more specifically than current understandings to distinctions between just and unjust relationships.
To think about how care theory might improve on this point, Dr. Moskop draws from the insights of Thomas Aquinas on the related virtues of charity and mercy, which feminist religious thinkers have cited as evidence of care thinking in the Western canon.
Differences between mercy and justice that emerge in Aquinas' descriptions show why an understanding of care that incorporates mercy, along with other forms of care, is too broad to be useful as a model for care as a comprehensive moral theory. Differences between mercy and justice also suggest that a better model is care that resembles justice, or friendship, which feminist scholars have discussed without fully developing. A focus on friendship, understood broadly by Aquinas (and Aristotle) to describe various kinds of associations built on reciprocity and shared ends, can enhance care thinkers' efforts to identify and address global relationships that are unfriendly and unjust. The global migration of care workers provides useful illustrations.

Advocates say commission is needed to improve relations with law enforcement
A group of Latino advocates worried about the use of force by sheriff's deputies in Vista is asking the city to establish a Latino citizens advisory board to improve the relationship between law enforcement and the community.
City officials say the advisory board is unnecessary and that the city is already taking steps to better address any community concerns.
Several Latino advocates met with city officials last week to propose the advisory board, as well as a study on the use of force. The group has said incidents involving deputies and Latinos in Vista have been particularly troublesome.
The group, calling itself North County Coalition of Concerned Citizens, pointed to a Dec. 18 incident as an example. That is when a sheriff's deputy hit and pepper-sprayed Antonio Martinez, a 21-year-old Latino man with Down syndrome, whom the officer mistook for a suspect in a domestic violence call.
Vista sheriff's Capt. Joe Rodi said last week that an internal investigation into the incident is ongoing.
But Latino advocates say a broader approach is needed.
"It would behoove the city and the Sheriff's Department to look a little deeper into what is going on," said Bill Flores, one of the people that met with city officials last week.
Flores, a retired assistant sheriff and a member of the North County Latino advocacy group El Grupo, initiated a meeting on March 13 with Mayor Judy Ritter, Councilman John Aguilera and Rodi.
Other Latinos at the meeting included John Herrera, a longtime advocate in Vista; Carlos Ronquillo, a retired San Diego police officer; and Victor Torres, an attorney and a member of El Grupo.
Ritter said Wednesday that she did not believe the advisory board and the use-of-force study were necessary. But she added that the city is taking other steps to better address the law enforcement concerns of all residents, including Latinos.
"I think we need to continue to reach out to the Hispanic community," Ritter said.
City officials are working to turn the city's Crime and Substance Abuse Prevention Commission into a Community Safety Commission, Ritter said. The group's new mission would be to identify law enforcement problems and provide recommendations.
The proposal to reshape the commission is expected to be discussed at Tuesday's City Council meeting, Ritter said.
The mayor said she is looking for Latinos to serve on the commission and that she handed out business cards to several potential candidates during a community event last week.
Flores said the city needs an all-Latino panel more attuned to specific concerns in the Latino community, such as the fatal shootings of several Latino men in Vista by law enforcement officers in separate incidents in 2005 and 2006.
The spate of shootings angered many in the Latino community and sparked protests and allegations of racism in the Sheriff's Department. In each incident, authorities investigated and deemed the shootings justified.
Torres, the El Grupo member, said an advisory board would help communicate Latino concerns about law enforcement to the city and the Sheriff's Department.

has anyone else noticed that wwe has not brought up the fact that triple h has lost to taker before at wrestlemania 17? i'm curious to hear from anyone as to why this may be as i have not a clue. i think it could have been used as a good part of mind games on takers part against triple h. also triple h is the 3rd person taker has faced for a second time at 'mania. why do they have him face people
Since I mostly watch just WWE, I don't normally make criticisms or remarks about TNA or ROH, however I have seen enough matches in general to know this is a across the board thing, but I'll be using WWE examples.
Today I'm talking about victory conditions and efforts, or in lamins terms things like Clean finishes, Dusty Finishes, and Valiant Efforts. Does a "Clean Finish"
Today, im going to list a couple things i see wrong with the WWE.
1.Entrance music- Sheamus-mainstream rock song, doesnt match his character, you supposed to be booing the shit outta this guy! To bad you cant hear it because of the entrance radio. the list goes on.
the miz- again, we are supposed to be booing this guy, yet its almost impossible with his music
First, I'm a fan of stats in wrestling, so this may not apply to those that don't like meaningless trivia such as I do but I do miss the facts when commentators used to mention the past accomplishments of wrestlers. These stats gave great insight on not just the wrestler but the prestige of the titles and accomplishments. Ever since JR and Matt Striker have been taken off commentary for the main shows,
Well the final edition of Monday Night Raw is upon us ahead of what is being built up to be the biggest Wrestlemania to date. Therefore it looks like we're heading for the busiest week in the WWE calendar. This is going to be the week where all of the loose ends are tied up ahead of 'Mania', the week of finalisation ahead of 'the big one'.
The 21/3/2011 edition of Raw saw the Orton/Punk
"In WWE's Search for a New Star, Everyone's a winner…Not really" by Derron Browning
If you have been a fan of wrestling at least since 2002, you have seen many "searches for the next WWE superstar" (see Tough Enough, NXT, WWE Diva Search, etc.) and what do we get? We get the exact same result; we get a few stars that are really good, some that make you wonder "how did they

Hey guys, hope all is well. I've been looking at the Raw & Smackdown team and it is definitely lackluster to say the least. I love all the current announcers but some of them clearly should not be together and maybe mixed up with a few additions.
Now keep in mind these are my dream announce teams I'm about to write. Not sure they all can possibly go down seeing as some aren't
Now, a few weeks ago if I wrote this I would probably say this has been the best build up for a Wrestlemania I can remember. Unfortunately it has tailed off since. Maybe I'm nit picking as WWE has been on top of it's game for quite some time. The highlight that sticks in my mind recently is the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match a few months back, which is a contender for Match of the Year. Well

The 'Awesome' has come a long way from his debut as a Tough Enough competitor back in 2004.

It's a call that comes just after launch, as the space shuttle clears maximum dynamic pressure, the point where the atmosphere's density and the shuttle's increasing speed coincide. For the moment, the shuttle's Earth-shaking engines are cut back to around 64 percent of their rated power. Then, at around 35,000 feet and at a velocity of over 1,600 mph, the shuttle clears the last obstacle between it and orbit. Across the com crackle those four words, signaling that it's time to drop the hammer and let the rocket fly: "Go at throttle up."
Few get to experience genuine rocket-powered escape velocity. But fewer still get to experience throttle-up in a ground-based rocket putting almost 1,000 horsepower to the ground. For those dedicated few on a quest for ultimate power, willing to pay the price to feel crazy levels of acceleration pushing their eyeballs back in their head and making blood drain from its usual places, the gateway is appropriately called Next Level Performance (NLP) in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Geoff Skorupa is the guy to see there. Geoff likes building exotic C5 and C6 Corvettes, and he's got a track record of success that caught the eye of Germany's renowned Geigercars, a dealer specializing in U.S. performance cars.
At the SEMA Show in 2007, the rep from Geigercars outlined the goals, the cornerstone of which was a staggering level of horsepower-1,000-virtually double the output of the stock 505hp Z06 engine. And it had to pass German emissions standards. Can you imagine?
But Geoff is the kind of guy who relishes a challenge. The project was on.
Dave Crume, NLP's in-house engine specialist, started with World Products' Warhawk engine block, which features reinforcements in critical areas and provisions for two extra head bolts per cylinder, a key factor in holding up under the extreme compression of twin turbos. The block, costing some $4,500 by itself, was loaded with a super strong Callies forged steel crankshaft, Oliver connecting rods, and coated JE pistons and piston pins with Total Seal stainless steel file-fit rings. Compression ratio was 9.3:1. Piston oilers were installed to help reduce heat load and prevent burning a piston. Coated Clevite bearings gave the rotating assembly maximum durability with minimum friction.
Aluminum cylinder heads, also from World Products, were lightly ported, then fitted with Ferrea stainless steel intake valves and Inconel exhaust valves to live under the turbos' extra heat. Operating the valves is a cam custom ground for NLP, custom Morel lifters, BLP chromoly pushrods, and Jesel shaft-mounted rocker arms. Competition Cams dual valvesprings keep the valves closed when they're supposed to be. Katech custom valve covers and coil relocation brackets were used to top off the cylinder heads.
To feed the beast, a pair of APS in-tank fuel pumps was plumbed with dual stainless steel braided fuel lines, billet fuel rails, 60 lb/hr fuel injectors, and an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.
Tucked neatly under the cylinder banks, well out of sight to the casual observer, is a pair of Garrett GT 3582R turbos, part of an APS twin-turbo system with twin air-to-air intercoolers to cool the intake charge before entering the engine. Besides keeping the engine compartment looking tidy and deceptively stock, mounting the turbos near the cylinder banks keeps them right next to the exhaust ports, where hot exhaust gases have all their heat energy to spin the turbine, making throttle response quick and positive. Maximum boost is way up there at 15 pounds.
Post-turbo is a 3-inch stainless steel APS exhaust system specifically tuned for the turbo system. For emissions compliance, NLP added a pair of stainless steel 3-inch catalytic converters.
To keep cool with all the heat and pressure, a pair of DeWitts electric fans works off a 160-degree thermostat.
The balance of the drivetrain had to be proportionally upgraded too. An RPS triple disc carbon clutch assembly transfers the enormous power through an LG Motorsports carbon fiber driveshaft with a solid aluminum rear coupler to an RPM Stage 5 Z06 six-speed manual transmission. Power then flows into a DTE Stage 3 Z06 differential with 3.42:1 gears.
A complete brake package, using Stoptech's huge caliper and rotor combination, slows things down.

Holidays and Parties
Holidays are a great time for getting together with family and friends. Holiday parties and other activities present many opportunities to reduce waste through reuse and recycling.
Approximately 33 million live Christmas trees are sold in North America every year. After the holidays, look for ways to recycle your tree instead of sending it to a landfill. Check with your community solid waste department and find out if they collect and mulch trees. Your town might be able to use chippings from mulched trees for hiking trails or beachfront erosion barriers.
Buy a potted tree and plant it after the holidays.
Have a create-your-own-decorations party! Invite family and friends to create and use holiday decorations such as ornaments made from old greeting cards or cookie dough, garlands made from strung popcorn or cranberries, wreaths made from artificial greens and flowers, and potpourri made from kitchen spices such as cinnamon and cloves.
Turn off or unplug holiday lights during the day. Doing so will not only save energy, but will also help your lights last longer.
If you're buying new greeting cards this holiday season, send recycled-content greeting cards. Buying recycled encourages manufacturers to make more recycled-content products available. Consider making new cards from scrap paper or by attaching new backs to the fronts of old cards-this can be a craft project for family and friends that helps everyone reduce paper waste while saving money! Another option is to tear off the fronts and use them as postcards. Also consider sending electronic cards, and remember to recycle any paper cards you receive.
Think "green" while shopping holiday and birthday sales. Try to buy items with minimal packaging and/or made with recycled content. Check product labels to determine an item's recyclability and whether it is made from recycled materials.
Consider the durability of a product before you buy it as a gift. Cheaper, less durable items often wear out quickly, creating waste and costing you money. Look for items that embody the concept of reuse. For example: swings made from used tires, wooden toys made from scrap wood, craft kits that take advantage of used goods and discards, and drawing boards that can be erased and reused.
Thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in landfills every year. Reduce the number of bags thrown out by bringing reusable cloth bags for holiday gift shopping. Tell store clerks you don't need a bag for small or oversized purchases. Use reusable cloth bags instead of disposable ones for trick-or-treating.
Wrap gifts in recycled or reused wrapping paper or funny papers. Also remember to save or recycle used wrapping paper. Give gifts that don't require much packaging, such as concert tickets or gift certificates.
Donate the older toys that your children no longer use to charities. Also check with local libraries. A number of public libraries have extended their children's section to include a lending collection of toys, games, puzzles, musical instruments, and such.
About 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season. Buy rechargeable batteries to accompany your electronic gifts, and consider giving a battery charger as well. Rechargeable batteries reduce the amount of potentially harmful materials thrown away, and can save money in the long run.
When giving flowers as gifts, consider buying long-lasting silk flowers, potted plants, or live bushes, shrubs, or trees that can be planted in the spring as gifts.
Bake cookies or other goodies for your friends and love ones and package them in reusable and/or recyclable containers as gifts. Homemade goodies show how much you care and help you avoid packaging waste.
If you host a party, set the table with cloth napkins and reusable dishes, glasses, and silverware. Consider renting more formal tableware that you might not use very often. Also save and reuse party hats, decorations, and favors.
After holiday festivities, put leftovers in recyclable containers, and share them with family, friends, or others. Donate whole, untouched leftovers from parties to a local food bank or homeless shelter.
Where possible, compost leftover food scraps, leaves, and grass clippings.
After parties, fill your dishwasher to capacity before running it. You will run fewer cycles, which saves energy.
Wash and reuse empty glass and plastic jars, milk jugs, coffee cans, dairy tubs, and other similar containers that would otherwise get thrown away. These containers can be used to store leftovers as well as buttons, nails, or other loose items.
Make the most of your jack o' lantern. Use the removed meat to make pumpkin pie or muffins and roast the seeds as a fun holiday snack. When the holiday is over, cut up your carved pumpkin before it spoils and toss it in the compost bin.
Why purchase costumes that you will probably only use once and then throw away? Instead, use old clothes or buy used clothes from a consignment shop to make your costume.
Consider donating old costumes to local amateur theater productions, including school performances and shows put on by charitable organizations. Another option is to donate costumes to a costume rental service.

It's been 20 years since "Star Trek: The Next Generation" aired its final episode on May 23, 1994. With two decades having passed since the show left the airwaves, take a look at where its stars are today.
Burton was no newcomer to television when he was cast as Geordi, having appeared in "Roots" as Kunta Kinte and hosting the PBS children's show "Reading Rainbow" since 1983. He continued to host "Reading Rainbow" until the show ended in 2005, after which he and a business partner bought the global rights to the brand and re-launched it as a best-selling app for the iPad. Burton, who directed two "TNG" episodes as well as episodes for each of the "Star Trek" series in production throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, has also directed episodes of "Charmed," "JAG" and "Las Vegas" and the documentary "The Tiger Woods Story." He's also recently appeared as himself on episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Community" and is a regular on the TNT drama "Perception."

Research D'Andrea
Control of Distributed, Autonomous Systems
We are on the threshold of being able to place sensors everywhere. This has been precipitated in part by the continued rapid advances in sensor technology, which will allow us to embed sensors ranging from the nano-scale to the macro-scale on almost any physical device, at an economically viable cost.
Fortunately, computing and communications technology have been keeping pace with sensor technology, and all the ingredients are there for major breakthroughs in the near future in how we interface to, and control, our environment.
Serious challenges, however, must be overcome.
One of the most significant of these is the present difficulty in making appropriate decisions based on distributed information across a distributed network. To put this in context, it is well known that two simple dynamic systems can exhibit comparatively complex behavior when interconnected; the present challenge is to effectively design and control systems with many interconnected components.
Part of our research efforts are aimed at developing new tools for designing and controlling systems such as these. The emphasis is on tools for systems governed by differential and difference equations, both linear and nonlinear, with a large number of components, and interconnected through networks of structured connectivity. We seek to exploit the connectivity aspect of the problem as much as possible. Examples are varied and include regular interconnection structures for systems defined on lattices, and sparse structures for systems with limited connectivity such as vehicle platoons, ''smart'' materials with embedded actuation, aircraft flying in formations, and power distribution systems. Semi-definite programming algorithms can be brought to bear on these problems, resulting in computationally tractable algorithms for system analysis and control design. Other tools include Optimal Control to create motion primitives, Adaptive Control to improve system performance over time and to cope with changing conditions, Mixed Integer-Linear Programming to design cooperative strategies, and Distributed Estimation to build models of the environment from multiple, error-prone sources.
The underlying architecture of these systems is crucial to their success. To be effective, they must be modular, easy to adapt, and allow a large number of individuals to concurrently develop them. This is why, from a pedagogical perspective, we have adopted a multi-disciplinary team-based approach for many of our projects: individuals learn how to create modular subsystems that can easily interface with the subsystems created by other members of their team, and in the process acquire a solid understanding of feedback, dynamics and control.
This kind of 'building block' approach – where each self-contained subsystem can be easily put to use by non-experts – is crucial to effective systems engineering, where individuals across many fields must collaborate, where manufacturability and maintainability are key, and where prediction can greatly simplify the interface between the robots and the high-level algorithms that ultimately control them.
In today's world, engineering, science, and mathematics are essentially utilitarian, and research in these areas is expected to have direct societal relevance. Unfortunately, «utilitarian» often means' «for the benefit of consumerism», and narrow metrics are typically used to gauge societal relevance.
We have an incredible opportunity to push the boundary of what is possible with control algorithms in the broadest sense when we remove the purpose-driven objectives typical to engineering from our research agenda. Novel ideas are often discovered in an unrestrained environment, and to encourage 'out-of-the-box thinking', we bring creativity to our research by building dynamic art installations for public display.
Our efforts are geared towards using motion design to explore the interface between mathematics, physics, engineering, and art. One of our research aims is to augment model-based control design with learning and adaptation to provide a flexible methodology for designing high-performance, robust systems. In the process, students are exposed to Systems Engineering, with an emphasis on system analysis, design, and integration. They learn skills such as requirements-driven design, manufacturability, maintainability, modeling and simulation of dynamic systems, and acquire an understanding of the interplay between system design, control design, and simulation.

Reeves Callaway is a man of many talents—educated, articulate, and a lover of art, travel, fine foods, computers, and, of course, automobiles. Twenty-five years ago his company, Callaway Cars, became the first firm to be authorized by GM to modify new production Corvettes. These cars carried RPO B2K option and could be ordered at Chevrolet dealerships. After the cars were built in Bowling Green, they were shipped to Callaway's Old Lyme, Connecticut, headquarters for conversion. A total of 184 (121 coupes and 63 convertibles) were built for the 1987 model year. The modified, twin-turbo L98 produced 345 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, enough to push top speed to 177.9 mph. (The output figures later climbed to 382/562.) The B2K option continued through 1991 and generated reams of favorable press for Callaway Cars.
Early in the B2K run, Callaway and his team decided to create a rolling test bed to probe the maximum speed potential of the Corvette platform. In 1987 they participated in Car and Driver magazine's "Gathering of Eagles" speed test, taking top honors with a terminal velocity of 231 mph in a twin-turbo C4. Determined to stay ahead of the competition, the Callaway crew created "Sledgehammer," a fully streetable supercar featuring a stock interior with A/C. Automotive designer Paul Deutschman penned a new body for the C4 to reduce its aerodynamic drag.
In early October 1988, the 898hp twin-turbo Corvette was driven from Old Lyme to the Ohio Research Transportation Center in East Liberty, Ohio. On October 19 Sledgehammer set a top-speed record for a streetable production car when the late John Lingenfelter pushed it to an amazing 254.76 mph. After setting the mark, the Callaway team drove Sledgehammer back to Old Lyme. It was an amazing feat for a small engineering company.
In 1988 Reeves Callaway attended the 1988 Geneva Auto show, where his friend Dick Guldstrand introduced him to Ernst Woehr. Woehr and his partner, Giovanni Ciccone, owned a tuning and body-shop business in Leingarten, Germany, where they serviced Guldstrand's GS80 C4 Corvettes for European customers. Callaway and Woehr became friends, and Woehr's shop soon began servicing Callaway twin-turbo Vettes.
When the L98 production run ended in 1992, Callaway introduced a new Corvette, the LT1-based SuperNatural. In 1993 Woehr signed a young driver named Boris Said to drive one of these cars in the German ADAC GT series. With his rock-star hair and aggressive driving style, Said soon gained cult status with German racing fans. The SuperNatural took many top finishes and created a lot of buzz for Callaway.
In 1994 Callaway and Woehr formed Callaway Competition and set about developing the Callaway LM. This GT supercar was based on the C4 and featured a modified nose and carbon-fiber body. The LM finished Ninth overall at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans and Second in the GT class. In 1996 an LM driven by Almo Coppelli won the SCCA World Challenge Championship. Carlisle Events' Lance Miller currently owns the Coppelli car and plans to vintage race it.

The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants – visually indistinguishable from adult humans – are used for dangerous and degrading work on Earth's "off-world colonies". Following a small replicant uprising, replicants become illegal on Earth and specialist police called "blade runners" are trained to hunt down and "retire" (kill) escaped replicants on Earth. The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of replicants hiding in Los Angeles and the semi-retired blade runner, Rick Deckard (Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment.
Blade Runner initially polarized critics: some were displeased with the pacing, while others enjoyed its thematic complexity. The film performed poorly in North American theaters. Despite the box office failure of the film, it has since become a cult classic. Blade Runner has been hailed for its production design, depicting a "retrofitted" future. The film is credited with prefiguring important concerns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, such as overpopulation, globalization, climate change and genetic engineering. It remains a leading example of the neo-noir genre. Blade Runner brought author Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood, and several more films have since been based on his work. Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as "probably" his most complete and personal film. In 1993, Blade Runner was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In 2007, the American Film Institute named it the 97th greatest American film of all time in the 10th Anniversary edition of its 100 years... 100 Movies list.
Seven versions of the film have been created, for various markets, and as a result of controversial changes made by film executives. A rushed Director's Cut was released in 1992 after a strong response to workprint screenings. This, in conjunction with its popularity as a video rental, made it one of the first films released on DVD, resulting in a basic disc with mediocre video and audio quality. In late 2007 Warner Bros. released in theater and DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray the 25th anniversary long-awaited digitally remastered definitive Final Cut by Scott.
Producer Michael Deeley became interested in Fancher's draft and convinced director Ridley Scott to use it to create his first American film. Scott had previously declined the project, but after leaving the slow production of Dune, wanted a faster-paced project to take his mind off his older brother's recent death. He joined the project on February 21, 1980, and managed to push up the promised financing from Filmways from $13 million to $15 million. Fancher's script focused more on environmental issues and less on issues of humanity and faith, which weighed heavily in the novel. Scott wanted changes. Fancher found a cinema treatment by William S. Burroughs for Alan E. Nourse's novel The Bladerunner (1974), entitled Blade Runner (a movie). Scott liked the name so Deeley obtained the rights to the titles. Eventually he hired David Peoples to rewrite the script, and Fancher left the job on December 21, 1980 over the issue, although he later returned to contribute additional rewrites.
Having invested over $2.5 million in pre-production, as the date of commencement of principal photography neared, Filmways withdrew financial backing. In ten days, Deeley secured $21.5 million in financing through a three way deal between The Ladd Company (through Warner Bros.), the Hong Kong-based producer Sir Run Run Shaw, and Tandem Productions.
Philip K. Dick became concerned that no one had informed him about the film's production, which added to his distrust of Hollywood. After Dick criticized an early version of Hampton Fancher's script in an article written for the Los Angeles Select TV Guide, the studio sent Dick the David Peoples rewrite. Although Dick died shortly before the film's release, he was pleased with the rewritten script, and with a twenty-minute special effects test reel that was screened for him when he was invited to the studio. Dick enthused after the screening to Ridley Scott that the world created for the film looked exactly as he had imagined it. The motion picture was dedicated to Dick.
Blade Runner has numerous and deep similarities to Fritz Lang's Metropolis, including a built up urban environment, in which the wealthy literally live above the workers, dominated by a huge building—the Stadtkrone Tower in Metropolis and the Tyrell Building in Blade Runner. Special effects supervisor David Dryer used stills from Metropolis when lining up Blade Runner's miniature building shots.
Ridley Scott credits Edward Hopper's painting Nighthawks and the French science fiction comic magazine Métal Hurlant (Heavy Metal), to which the artist Moebius contributed, as stylistic mood sources. He also drew on the landscape of "Hong Kong on a very bad day and the industrial landscape of his one-time home in the North East of England. Scott hired as his conceptual artist Syd Mead, who, like Scott, was influenced by Métal Hurlant. Moebius was offered the opportunity to assist in the pre-production of Blade Runner, but he declined so that he could work on René Laloux's animated film Les Maîtres du temps, a decision he later regretted. Lawrence G. Paull (production designer) and David Snyder (art director) realized Scott's and Mead's sketches. Douglas Trumbull and Richard Yuricich supervised the special effects for the film. Principal photography of Blade Runner began on March 9, 1981 and ended four months later.
Casting the film proved troublesome, particularly for the lead role of Deckard. Screenwriter Hampton Fancher envisioned Robert Mitchum as Deckard, and wrote the character's dialogue with Mitchum in mind. Director Ridley Scott and the film's producers "spent months" meeting and discussing the role with Dustin Hoffman, who eventually departed due to differences in vision. Harrison Ford was ultimately chosen due to several factors, including his performance in the Star Wars films, Ford's interest in the story of Blade Runner, and discussions with Steven Spielberg, who was finishing Raiders of the Lost Ark at the time and strongly praised Ford's work in the film. According to production documents, a long list of actors were considered for the role, including, but not limited to, Gene Hackman, Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, and Burt Reynolds.
Casting the roles of Rachael and Pris also proved troublesome; a lengthy series of screen tests were filmed with numerous actresses auditioning for the roles. Morgan Paull, who played the role of Deckard during the screen tests with actresses auditioning for the role of Rachael, was cast as Deckard's fellow bounty hunter Holden based on his performances in the tests. One role that was not difficult to cast was Roy Batty: Ridley Scott cast Rutger Hauer without having met him, based solely on Hauer's performances in other films Scott had seen. Joe Pantoliano, who later played the role of Cypher in the Blade Runner-inspired The Matrix, was considered for the role of Sebastian.
In 2006 Ridley Scott was asked "Who's the biggest pain in the arse you've ever worked with?" He replied: "It's got to be Harrison…he'll forgive me because now I get on with him. Now he's become charming. But he knows a lot, that's the problem. When we worked together it was my first film up and I was the new kid on the block. But we made a good movie. Ford said of Scott in 2000: "I admire his work. We had a bad patch there, and I'm over it. More recently in 2006, Ford reflected on the production of the film saying: "What I remember more than anything else when I see Blade Runner is not the 50 nights of shooting in the rain, but the voiceover...I was still obliged to work for these clowns that came in writing one bad voiceover after another. Ridley Scott confirmed in the summer 2007 issue of Total Film that Harrison Ford has contributed to the Blade Runner Special Edition DVD, having already done his interviews. "Harrison's fully on board," said Scott.
Advances in genetic technology have allowed scientists to create sophisticated biologically-engineered humanoid beings called "replicants". Following a violent revolt that takes place "off world," replicants are declared illegal on Earth.
In Los Angeles, November 2019, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is called out of retirement when a fellow Blade Runner, Holden (Morgan Paull) is shot administering a Voight-Kampff test to Leon (Brion James), an escaped replicant. A reluctant Deckard is brought to his old boss Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh), who informs him that the recent escape of Nexus-6 replicants is the worst yet. He orders Deckard to eliminate the four replicants, a process referred to as "retirement". Deckard agrees to help after Bryant makes thinly-veiled threats – if Deckard is not a cop, then he is 'little people'.
Bryant briefs Deckard on the replicants: Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), the leader, is a "combat model"; Leon Kowalski (Brion James) is a nuclear fuel loader; Zhora (Joanna Cassidy), an assassin built for martial arts and Pris (Daryl Hannah) a "basic pleasure model". Bryant also explains that the Nexus-6 model has a four-year lifespan as a failsafe to prevent them from developing emotions and desire for independence. Deckard is then teamed with Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and sent to the Tyrell Corporation to ensure that the Voight-Kampff test works on Nexus-6 models. While there, Deckard discovers that Tyrell's (Joe Turkel) young assistant Rachael (Sean Young) is an experimental replicant who believes she is a human; Rachael's consciousness has been enhanced with implanted memories from Tyrell's niece, an accomplishment that Tyrell seems most pleased with.
Deckard and Gaff search Leon's apartment as Roy and Leon enter the eye manufactory of Chew (James Hong); under interrogation, Chew directs them to J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson) as their best chance of meeting Tyrell. Roy's plan to meet his maker is hampered by the urgency created by his limited lifespan; he is already exhibiting symptoms of impending death. Later, Rachael visits Deckard at his apartment to prove her humanity to him but leaves in tears after Deckard coldly tells her that her memories are implants. Meanwhile, Pris meets J.F. Sebastian and he invites her into his apartment in the Bradbury Building where he lives with his manufactured companions. In some versions of the film, Deckard is seen in his apartment daydreaming about a unicorn; he gets back to work and uses a computer scanner to find an image of Zhora in Leon's photos.
Deckard goes to Animoid Row to analyze a scale found in Leon's bathroom, which belonged to a snake made by Abdul Ben Hassan. After a rough interrogation, the snake dealer directs Deckard to a sleazy strip club owned by Taffey Lewis (Hy Pyke), who employs Zhora. After a struggle in Zhora's changing room and a chase through the crowded streets Deckard shoots and "retires" Zhora. Deckard meets with Bryant shortly after and is told to add Rachael to his list of retirements after she has disappeared from the Tyrell Corporation Headquarters. Deckard spots Rachael in the crowd and follows her but is grabbed and beaten nearly to death by Leon. Rachael saves Deckard's life by shooting Leon and they head back to his apartment where they have sex.
Back at Sebastian's apartment Roy arrives, kisses Pris deeply and tells her they are the only ones left. They employ Sebastian's help by explaining their plight in a subtly threatening manner. Roy discovers that the human Sebastian is suffering from a genetic disorder that accelerates his aging, and he sympathizes with Sebastian because of their common fate. Using Sebastian, under the pretext of enticing Tyrell with a chess move for a game Sebastian and Tyrell are playing, Roy gets into Tyrell's penthouse. Roy demands an extension to his lifespan from his maker. Tyrell refuses to help because of limitations of nature that even he can't overcome. Roy then asks absolution of his sins, confessing that he has done "questionable things". Tyrell arrogantly dismisses this, praising Roy's advanced design and his amazing accomplishments. He tells Roy to "revel in his time". Roy kills Tyrell and Sebastian.
Deckard arrives at Sebastian's apartment and is ambushed by Pris. Deckard manages to grab his gun and retires Pris, just as Roy returns. Roy is horrified at her death. Angrily, Roy traps Deckard in the apartment, hunting him through the dilapidated Bradbury Building and eventually forcing him to the roof. The symptoms of Roy's limited lifespan worsen and his right hand begins to cramp, so he jabs a nail through it to regain control. As Deckard attempts to escape Roy, he leaps across to another building but falls short and ends up hanging from a rain-slicked beam. Roy easily vaults the same distance and is left standing above his struggling opponent. As Deckard loses his grip, Roy seizes his arm and hauls him onto the roof, saving Deckard. As Roy's life fades away, he calmly sits and delivers a soliloquy about the experiences of his life:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."
Roy dies peacefully. Deckard is left reflecting when Gaff, who arrives after the duel, calls from a distance, "It's too bad she won't live; but then again, who does?" A worried Deckard returns to his apartment and is relieved to find Rachael alive. As they leave, Deckard finds an origami unicorn, a calling card left by Gaff. Depending on the version, the film ends with Deckard and Rachael either leaving the apartment block to an uncertain future or driving through an idyllic pastoral landscape.
Despite appearing to be an action film, Blade Runner has many dramatic, narrative levels, greatly indebted to film noir conventions, such as the femme fatale, protagonist-narration (removed in later versions), dark and shadowy cinematography, and the questionable moral outlook of the hero, extended to include his humanity.
It is a literate science fiction film, thematically enfolding the philosophy of religion and moral implications of human mastery of genetic engineering in the context of classical Greek drama and hubris, and draws on Biblical images, such as Noah's flood, and literary sources, such as Frankenstein. Linguistically, the theme of mortality is subtly reiterated in the chess game between Roy and Tyrell based on the famous Immortal game of 1851, though Scott, himself, said that was coincidental.
Blade Runner delves into the implications of technology on the environment and society by reaching to the past, using literature, religious symbolism, classical dramatic themes, and film noir. This tension, among past, present, and future is seen in the retro-fitted future of Blade Runner, which is high-tech and gleaming in places but elsewhere decayed and old. Interviewing Ridley Scott in 2002, reporter Lynn Barber in The Observer described the film as: "extremely dark, both literally and metaphorically, with an oddly masochistic feel". Director Scott said he "liked the idea of exploring pain" in the wake of his brother's skin cancer death. "When he was ill, I used to go and visit him in London, and that was really traumatic for me."
A perceptively high level of paranoia exists in the cinematic manifestation of corporate power, omnipresent police, probing lights, and in the power over the individual especially represented by genetic programming of replicants. Control over the environment is large scale, hand in hand with the absence of any natural life, and with artificial animals substituting for the extinct originals. This oppressive backdrop clarifies why people are migrating to off-world colonies. The film also makes extensive use of eyes for a variety of themes and manipulated images to call into question reality and our ability to accurately perceive and remember it.
These thematic elements provide an atmosphere of uncertainty for Blade Runner's central theme of examining humanity. In order to discover replicants, an empathy test is used with a number of questions focused on the treatment of animals, thus making it the essential indicator of someone's "humanity". The replicants are juxtaposed with human characters who lack empathy, while the replicants appear to show compassion and concern for one another at the same time as the mass of humanity on the streets is cold and impersonal. The film goes so far as to put in doubt whether Deckard is a replicant and forces the audience to reevaluate what it means to be human. The question of whether Deckard is intended to be a human or a replicant has been an ongoing controversy since the film's release. Both Michael Deeley and Harrison Ford wanted Deckard to be human while Hampton Fancher preferred ambiguity. Ridley Scott has confirmed that in his vision Deckard is a replicant. A unicorn sequence inserted into the Director's Cut and Gaff's parting-gift of an origami unicorn are interpreted by some critics as indicating that Deckard is a replicant, and Gaff knows this because he knows Deckard's thoughts. A unicorn can also be seen briefly during a scene in J. F. Sebastian's home, amongst scattered toys. While this could be an example of something of the Replicant creators appearing in the subconscious of their creations, the interpretation that Deckard is a replicant is challenged by others who prefer to think that the unicorns show that the characters, whether human or replicant, share the same dreams and recognise their affinity, or that the absence of a decisive answer is crucial to the film's main theme. The inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of the film, as well as its textual richness, has permitted viewers to appropriate it to support their own speculations and interpretations.
Along with Vangelis' compositions and ambient textures, the film's sound scape also features a track by the Japanese Ensemble Nipponia ('Ogi No Mato' or 'The Folding Fan as a Target' from the Nonesuch Records release "Traditional Vocal And Instrumental Music") and a track by harpist Gail Laughton ("Harps of the Ancient Temples" from Laurel Records).
Despite being well received by fans and critically acclaimed and nominated in 1983 for a BAFTA and Golden Globe as best original score, and the promise of a soundtrack album from Polydor Records in the end titles of the film, the release of the official soundtrack recording was delayed for over a decade. There are two official releases of the music from Blade Runner. In light of the lack of a release of an album, the New American Orchestra recorded an orchestral adaptation in 1982 which bore little resemblance to the original. Some of the film tracks would in 1989 surface on the compilation Vangelis: Themes, but not until the 1992 release of the Director's Cut version would a substantial amount of the film's score see commercial release.
These delays and poor reproductions led to the production of many bootleg recordings over the years. A bootleg tape surfaced in 1982 at science fiction conventions and became popular given the delay of an official release of the original recordings, and in 1993 "Off World Music, Ltd." created a bootleg CD that would prove more comprehensive than Vangelis' official CD in 1994. A disc from "Gongo Records" features most of the same material, but with slightly better sound quality. In 2003, two other bootlegs surfaced, the "Esper Edition," closely preceded by "Los Angeles: November 2019". The double disc "Esper Edition" combined tracks from the official release, the Gongo boot and the film itself. Finally "2019" provided a single disc compilation almost wholly consisting of ambient sound from the film, padded out with some sounds from the Westwood game Blade Runner.
A set with 3 CDs of Blade Runner-related Vangelis music was released on December 10, 2007. Titled Blade Runner Trilogy, the first CD contains the same tracks as the 1994 official soundtrack release, the 2nd CD contains previously unreleased music from the movie, and the 3rd CD is all newly composed music from Vangelis, inspired by, and in the spirit of the movie.
Film critics were polarized as some felt the story had taken a back seat to special effects and that it was not the action/adventure the studio had advertised. Others acclaimed its complexity and predicted it would stand the test of time.
In the United States, a general criticism was its slow pacing that detracts from other strengths; Shiela Benson from the Los Angeles Times went so far as to call it "Blade crawler," while Pat Berman in State and Columbia Record described it as "science fiction pornography". Roger Ebert praised Blade Runner's visuals and recommended it for that reason; however, he found the human story clichéd and a little thin. In 2007, upon release of The Final Cut, Roger Ebert somewhat revised his original opinion of the film and added it to his list of Great Movies.

It has been nominated for the following awards:
Although it initially was not a success with North American audiences the film was popular internationally and became a cult classic. Blade Runner's dark style and futuristic design have served as a benchmark and its influence can be seen in many subsequent science fiction films, anime and television programs. Blade Runner continues to reflect modern trends and concerns, and an increasing number consider it one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1993 and is frequently used in university courses. In 2007, it was named the 2nd most visually influential film of all time by the Visual Effects Society.
Blade Runner is one of the most musically sampled films of the 20th century, and inspired the Grammy nominated song More Human Than Human by White Zombie. Blade Runner has influenced adventure games, such as Rise of the Dragon, Snatcher, Beneath a Steel Sky and Flashback: The Quest for Identity, the anime series Bubblegum Crisis, the role-playing game Shadowrun, the first-person shooter Perfect Dark, video game BioShock and the Syndicate games. The look of the film (darkness, neon lights and opacity of vision) is easier to render than complicated backdrops, making it a popular choice for game designers.
Blade Runner has also been the subject of parody, such as the comics Blade Bummer by Crazy comics, and Bad Rubber, which was written and illustrated by Steve Gallacci, and published in the prototype issue (Number 0) of his comic book title Albedo Anthropomorphics. In Bad Rubber, the character based on Rick Deckard is a duck named "Rick Duckard".
Among the folklore that has grown up around the film over the years has been the belief that the film was a curse to the companies whose logos were displayed prominently in some scenes. While they were market leaders at the time, many of them experienced disastrous setbacks over the next decade and hardly exist today. Atari, which dominated the home video game market when the film came out, never recovered from the next year's downturn in the industry, and by the 1990s had ceased to exist as anything more than a brand, a back catalog of games and some legacy computers. The Atari of today is an entirely different firm, using the former company's name. Cuisinart similarly went bankrupt in 1989, though it lives on under new ownership. The Bell System monopoly was broken up that same year, and all of the resulting Regional Bell operating companies have since changed their names and merged with each other or other companies. Pan Am suffered the terrorist bombing/destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 and went bankrupt in 1991, after a decade of mounting losses. The Coca-Cola Company suffered losses during its failed introduction of New Coke in 1985, but soon afterwards regained its market share. Its continued success has made Coca-Cola one of several exceptions to the Blade Runner curse; also appearing in the film are logos for Budweiser, and the electronics company TDK, which continue to thrive in contemporary markets.
Before the film's principal photography began, Cinefantastique magazine commissioned Paul M. Sammon to write an article about Blade Runner's production, which became the book Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner (referred to as the "Blade Runner Bible" by many of the film's fans). The book chronicles the evolution of Blade Runner as a film, and focuses on film set-politics, especially the British director's experiences with his first American film crew, of which producer Alan Ladd, Jr. has said:
Moreover, Future Noir has short cast biographies and quotations about their experiences in making Blade Runner, as well as many photographs of the film's production, and preliminary sketches. The cast chapter was deleted from the first edition; it is available online. A second edition of Future Noir was published in 2007.
Interwoven are cast interviews (with the notable exceptions of Harrison Ford and Sean Young), which convey some of the difficulties of making the film (including an exacting director and humid, smoggy weather). There is also a tour of some locations, most notably the Bradbury Building and the Warner Bros. backlot that became the LA 2019 streets, which look very different from Scott's dark vision.
The documentary then details the test screenings and the resulting changes (the voice over, the happy ending, and the deleted Holden hospital scene), the special effects, the soundtrack by Vangelis, and the unhappy relationship between the filmmakers and the investors which culminated in Deeley and Scott being fired but still working on the film. The question of whether or not Deckard is a replicant surfaces.Future Shocks (2003) Future Shocks (27 minutes) is a more recent documentary from 2003 by TVOntario (part of their Film 101 series using footage compiled over the years for Saturday Night at the Movies). It includes interviews with executive producer Bud Yorkin, Syd Mead, and the cast, this time with Sean Young, but still without Harrison Ford. There is extensive commentary by science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer and from film critics, as the documentary focuses on the themes, visual impact and influence of the film. Edward James Olmos describes Ford's participation, and personal experiences during filming are related by Young, Walsh, Cassidy and Sanderson. They also relate a story about crew members creating T-shirts that took pot shots at Scott. The different versions of the film are critiqued and the accuracy of its predictions of the future are discussed.Dangerous Days (2007) Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner is an approximately three and a half hour long documentary directed and produced by Charles de Lauzirika for the 2007 Final Cut version of the film. It appears with every edition of The Final Cut on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray. (It is a DVD format disc, even in the HD DVD and Blu-ray editions). It was culled from over 80 interviews, including Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Jerry Perenchio, Bud Yorkin and Ridley Scott, and also contains several alternate and deleted shots within the context of the documentary itself.
The documentary consists of eight chapters, each covering a portion of the film-making – or in the case of the final chapter, the film's controversial legacy. The chapters and their length:
All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut (29 minutes), produced by Paul Prischman, appears on Disc 5 of the Blade Runner Ultimate Collector's Edition and provides an overview of the film's multiple versions and their origins, as well as detailing the seven year-long restoration, enhancement and remastering process behind The Final Cut. Included are interviews with director Ridley Scott, restoration producer Charles de Lauzirika, restoration consultant Kurt P. Galvao, restoration VFX supervisor John Scheele and Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner author Paul M. Sammon. Behind-the-scenes footage documenting the restoration – from archival work done in 2001 through the 2007 filming of Joanna Cassidy and Benjamin Ford for The Final Cut's digital fixes – are seen throughout.Additional featurettes (2007) In addition to Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner, a variety of other supplemental featurettes produced and directed by Charles de Lauzirika are included both the 4-disc and 5-disc collector's editions of Blade Runner released by Warner Home Video in 2007:
Philip K. Dick refused an offer of $400,000 to write a novelization of the Blade Runner screenplay, saying: "[I was] told the cheapo novelization would have to appeal to the twelve-year-old audience" and "[it] would have probably been disastrous to me artistically." He added, "That insistence on my part of bringing out the original novel and not doing the novelization — they were just furious. They finally recognized that there was a legitimate reason for reissuing the novel, even though it cost them money. It was a victory not just of contractual obligations but of theoretical principles." In the end, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was reprinted as a tie-in with the film poster as a cover and the original title in parenthesis below the Blade Runner title.
The producers of the film arranged for a screening of some special effects rough cuts for Philip K. Dick shortly before he died in early 1982. Despite his well known skepticism of Hollywood in principle, he became quite enthusiastic about the film. He said, "I saw a segment of Douglas Trumbull's special effects for Blade Runner on the KNBC-TV news. I recognized it immediately. It was my own interior world. They caught it perfectly." He also approved of the film's script, saying, "After I finished reading the screenplay, I got the novel out and looked through it. The two reinforce each other, so that someone who started with the novel would enjoy the movie and someone who started with the movie would enjoy the novel."
The PC game featured a non-linear plot, non-player characters that each ran in their own independent AI, and an unusual pseudo-3D engine (which eschewed polygonal solids in favor of voxel elements) that did not require the use of a 3D accelerator card to play the game.
A prototype board game was also created in California (1982) that had game play similar to Scotland Yard.
Blade Runner co-writer David Peoples wrote Soldier (1998), which is set in the same fictional universe; it features spinners, however it remains an informal sequel, unapproved by the Blade Runner Partnership, who own the Blade Runner universe rights.
Ridley Scott apparently toyed with the idea of a sequel film, which would have been titled Metropolis. However, the project was ultimately shelved due to rights issues. A script was also written for a proposed sequel entitled Blade Runner Down, which would have been based on K. W. Jeter's first Blade Runner sequel novel. At the 2007 Comic-Con, Scott again announced that he is considering a sequel to the film. By September 2008, Eagle Eye co-writer Travis Wright was writing the screenplay. Wright worked with producer Bud Yorke for a few years on the project. His colleague John Glenn, who left the film by 2008, stated the script explores the nature of the off-world colonies as well as what happens to the Tyrell Corporation in the wake of its founder's death.

Forbidden Obama Utterance List....(FOUL) language that cannot be uttered in the halls of the White House. If I missed any, add them by commenting below:
Billion dollar deficits - see "the new surplus"
Birth certificate - as any Obama supporter will testify, Obama wasn't born, he always was and always will be
BP - "British Petroluem" must be pronounced in full, otherwise he will get it confused with "b*tch please," his typical response to suggestions he may be wrong
Fox News - Obama thinks they're not a real news organization because they're convincing the country he's not a real president.
Freedom - "dumb" is the last syllable of the name....'nuff said!
Hussein - Do you ever wonder what President Obama's middle name is? Suddenly, so does he.
Oil - Probably the most recent addition to the list, he's really tired of Biden "slipping" up and saying "Oilbama"
Radical Islam - the proper term is "violent extremists", lest we send Muslims into a tizzy that causes them to build nuclear weapons. "Violent extremeists" may be also be used with people who miss their morning coffee, people who suffer from road rage, and Republicans.
Right Guard - President B.O. really hates that brand of deodorant for some reason
Taxes - the biggest shocker of the list, Biden lobbied hard for this one, I think he meant Texas
Tea Party - Reportedly prefers to call it the Pee Party because they keep "raining" on his parade
The new surplus - any budget that can account for ObamaCare being repealed

Rev up your holiday style
I have six pairs of Fitflops and waiting for the eighth pair to arrive. What more do I need to say! Once you have tried a pair you won't want to wear anything else. I wear them to work and my feet never ache. It rather annoys me if the occasion does not allow me to wear them. The patent black ones are really smart and I'm waiting for a patent blue pair to arrive. I don't think I'll be happy until I have the whole set!
Lush, lush, lush
Did I mention that these clogs are lush? I now have three pairs of patent clogs and they are...well,lush!!! They are smart and seem to catch people's attention. I usually wax lyrical about them at any given excuse! I have asked the company if they would pleeeeeease make them in a chocolate brown colour as it would make the happiest person ever! I'm really hoping they will. It's always a pleasure to deal with the customer services and I can't speak highly enough. Trixie in particular is a sweetheart and couldn't do enough when I rang her. A big thank you to all.
Shuv my feet in & go!
These are wonderful! I have never tried a Shuv before, but have tried another brand's version which was returned to them post-haste. Why did I try another brand? I won't make that mistake again!.
These fit perfectly (I have very wide size 6 feet, and FitFlop size 7's are my size). Now I have a whole new collection to buy to go alongside my growing number of toe-post FitFlops.
Definitely recommend to anyone with dodgy feet, and/or who stands a lot of the day.
Microwobbleboard™ Technology
FitFlop multi-density midsoles, inspired by our Non-Stop Ergonomix™ philosophy, are biomechanically engineered to diffuse pressure and provide instant relief to your feet.
Classic FitFlop™ footwear is built on Microwobbleboard midsoles which can help diffuse underfoot pressure and absorb shock.

Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information
FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up.
To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style).
Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.
