Countryside is the first Montessori high school in North Carolina. It provides challenging academic classes while emphasizing the Montessori philosophy of student responsibility and respect. Student-centered learning provides opportunities for personally selected internships and community partnerships. Our unique and innovative curriculum encourages students to participate in an academic environment that prepares them for success in their next life steps.
Mission and Goals
High School focuses on college preparatory coursework with an underlying Montessori philosophy. We accomplish this by:
Two week-long classes, one each in fall and spring semesters, allow students to apply their knowledge in real world situations or to learn a new skill. Students can choose from several exploratory classes taught on and off campus. Regular classes will not be held during intersession weeks. In addition to exploratory options, required intercession classes are:
Freshmen: Student Success Course (Students learn study, communication, and responsibility skills).

The better way to hydrate.
Breaking your aerodynamic position won't help you break any records. That's why Profile Design created the Aerodrink. With it, you're able to store your hydration between your aero extensions. So, you'll be able to rehydrate without deviating from your sweet spot. Even better, the bottle's aerodynamic shape means that you're able to achieve the aforementioned without paying a heavy aerodynamic penalty.
The Profile Design Aerodrink features a 32oz (946ml) capacity, and it weighs in around 171 grams. Please note that this bottle does not include the required mounting bracket. To mount the bottle to standard aerobars, Profile recommends its Universal Aerodrink Bracket. However, for narrower aerobars and base bar affixing, you'll need Profile's Aerodrink Base Bar Bracket.

One of the most telling things, from my perspective, is their 'Dragon Soul was the last content patch' and then just letting players alone for about one year with this 'one week worth of content'. MoP can be as fresh as mountain dew, as virginal as Mary before the Angel, as seducing as a succubus crossed with a t-bone-steak and a new GRR Martin novel.
I still won't play it.
Heck, my entire guild consists of players that did not even play Cataclysm. Yes, we had purchased it. And we judged it sucking in almost every aspect imaginable. Bu we liked playing WoW in earlier iterations, and every other MMO out there sucked at least as much (well, it did back then, now we have TSW!) so we decided to stay in WoW. It did have Goblins, which was just about its only redeeming factor for us. And it had some great, old content, right?
So we founded a level stop guild, and redid Classic. Even though it was pathetically easy, and had practically nothing left to but a few old raids. But we dropped from initially over 1,500 members (awful to organize, since guild sizes are limited to 1,000 members) to about 200 that are still playing BC at the moment.
But I may have made a 'mistake' and told them about TSW. They're in the process of seriously considering moving over as a whole. Only problem are our youngsters (under 15). I don't know if they will handle TSW well.
Anyhow: I don't think it's a question of MoP alone can redeem WoW. WoW's success is as much a question of the over-all nimbus of 'Blizzard' mysticism as it just was a perfect storm at the time. Many people playing WoW are not really gamers. They know just WoW, and that's what they play. Heck, even in my guild, about half the members don't know ANY game outside WoW and Angry Birds. Maybe Farmville.
And that tells you a lot about why WoW is still so high in subs, even if it is, from a gamer's perspective, crashing and burning. And that will lead to MoP selling like shortbread, and 'high profile' magazines giving out 90%+ ratings.
By the by: If TSW scores lower than any Blizzard title ever, this will be my indication that those 'high profile' magazines really are off the rocker and on the Blizzard fan train. You know, I used to work for such a magazine, and the handling of such scores (and also the matter of acquiring test samples) prompted me tro leave the industry.

These aren't mutually exclusive. One can--and indeed many do--desire to be competitive, desire to participate in the highest levels of the game, enjoy min/maxing characters, and yet do not want to play for 3 hours a day.
Many players have hardcore approaches toward success in a game but also have, you know, a thing called life to worry about and, thus, a casual time commitment to the game.
I agree with Bladestrom in that no game's model for player success should be founded first and foremost upon the pure amount of hours one can put into the game. Thankfully, many game developers seem to agree, and MMOs are slowly adjusting accordingly.

Still, if we take Blizz's past history and the name "Titan", is the direction to let us play in Sargeras' time, encountering / conquering / banishing various Demon races pre-Sarg-going-nuts-and-becoming-worse?
Sounds provocative, and assuming my guess is accurate at all will undoubtably be heralded with some amazing trailers and marketing hype per The Blizz Marketting Machine, funded by your current sub-dollars and (used to be) mine.
The trick here that's most important to you and me, the Gamer, is what will it REALLY be all about? Will it REALLY be something new as a Gaming Platform? Will it represent a stepping forward of the genre, a broadening of value for dollar spent in both the short and long term?
Will it actually provide Participation (ability to Participate) and Competition (ability to Compete) with others across the board, or will it continue to be stunted and shackled by the disease called "Redirect to The Grind for (x) Time . . . and someday you can actually play for real", a condition that feeds and maximizes Player Attenuation from each other and absolutely minimizes the player him/her self from having the relevant impact in challenges because of course it's all about the gear ground up through farming The Grind.
Redirection to The Grind. Look back on games you've played and ask yourselves if that wasn't a CORE problem with the game. That The Grind, a mechanism you do need to some degree in any persitent virtual world, metastasized into a Cancer taking over vast swaths of content and game time as a slave master gating access to playing the game, and playing with others.
Jerioca's view is probably much more accurate than not:

The way they were combined may have been different but that was it. Even the majority of monster models were rehashes of previous ones.
It got to be like comparing the rebranding of packets of toilet paper. The pictures on the plastic packaging may be completely different and all bright and shiney and new but you're still going to use the contents to do exactly the same thing as last time. They're still using the same 4 or 5 cave maps that we're in vanilla WoW for pities sake. 'Blizzard' and 'New content' just can't be justified in the same sentence.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Mist will add a new component, a new chapter, so yes wow can be new again. In this day though, there are other great options, like Rift, GW2,... I'm going to play and continue to play them all. If there something I don't like I just won't do it, for me raiding and instances don't cut it, for one of my good friends that's all he does. The mmo community is diverse, that's all it comes down to.

It is a double pleasure to gank the ganker.
As a PVP player who doesn't raid, what I would need from WoW is a way for players to achieve the best PVP gear without having to do the arena grind with a sub-par internet ping. Every split second counts in arena and if your internet has a tendency to lag, then you might as well stop wasting your time. Throw in the fact that my favorite class spec doesn't have much arena love and it is just not possible to fully pimp my gear. I would like more open world PVP and for Blizz to remove the barriers to soloing up your gear. Those barriers are why I finally left. The mechanics are great.

The Critical Hit Pretzel!
Unfortunately, making 'Old be New" would involve more being added and a fresh mix being brought in, and its just being dumbed down more and more making anything new lose taste quickly. Dumbing down the system only makes things that much less impressive.

I'd probably never return to wow cause the game has taken a step towards a different generation of gamers and that's a matter of fact: they said they thought about pandas back when they were designing tbc,but they tossed the idea away pretty soon and nowdays they give you no real reason of why they decided so at the time,while the point is indeed very simple: when the pandas idea came out someone probably stepped up saying "jesus this game is intended for a mature audience and/or for grown teens no way pandas will fit into that".
what i'd like to just have back in the game is everything that was designed till ToC, and just to keeping up with that style would be something amazing.
The game went pretty much perfect till ToC times then it got ruined by changes. in a year and a half or even less we got so many changes to the game like it never happened for what? 7 years? at the time when things were going as intended with a peak of players hitting 12m they started to change everything cause they started thinking about titan and getting blizzard young (11-15 yo) fans would have assured future subs for titans.
What i miss from the "old version" of wow? pretty much everything. from the struggle for getting keys to open dungeon doors,to raid attunement,40 men raids where the very fact of making 39 ppl do the right thing at the right time was the main challenge along with some simple but very effective boss abilities. I miss the exploration,the "safety dance" tactic,the old tbc lfg tool with which i got to know so many people that im still in touch with even nowdays,cause people were caring about their server reputation,i miss the feel i got the first time i took a step into blackrock mountains or the first time i took a step into the dark portal while on the stairs of destiny hellfire's peninsula music was filling my ears with greatness.
i miss the endless wiping on the first day of a boss release and how our ventrilo was just exploding when that badass went down,i miss those days when there was no difference in killing a boss 24.50 seconds earlier than another guild,but actually taking the very boss down was indeed a challenge itself and the difference between guild kills were in days or weeks for making the server ranks,not seconds.
apart from this all i miss tarren mill attacks and world pvp as well,such epic battles and i do still remember every inch of terrain in my favourite places,i know alterac mountains map better than my own house i think.
sorry for taking this long. this is just another post from the next nostalgic guy who knows for a fact things like these won't come back,not in wow not in another game: some people just don't understand that it wasnt only a matter of the game itself and how it changed,the real point is those were different times,nowdays everyone calls himself a geek or a hardcore or whatever and pretty much everyone plays something.
the really bad thing about this all is the thought that 7 years or so of marvelous exquisite entertainment are gone forever leaving only memories behind and that just because a bunch of kids sold their playstation and went for the pc instead and with wow also.

Remember the days of my first attemp to Dead Mines... absolutely amazing feeling of success when i got out from the other side of the cave... I used to have very good moments in those days. Now is all about getting things the easy way, easy, and now. Wow is a kids game .period.
All those wow clones are heading the same way.
There´s a kind of gamer, forged in the UO days, EQ1, early vanilla wow... waiting for a changeling new MMORPG, until today thats not happening... we still waiting.

Blizzard seems to take features from other games and make them suck. For example transmog, they took perfectly awesome standard appearance tabs and made them so you can't change on the fly, have to be in town, made it cost money everytime you wanna change clothes, and limited the gear.
MoP scenarios, they really should have not made these instanced, they should be occur in the open world.
For all the talk of put the war back in warcraft, blah blah. If you look at it there isn't really anything they are doing to encourage world PvP over what we have now. Dailies out in the world, just like we have now. World bosses, if the battles last 15 to 20 minutes and boss kill goes to faction that did most DPS then maybe, but if they are short fights like most boss fights it is basically who gets there first. If they are taggable most people probably won't be arsed to screw with the other faction for no rewards + repair bills(unless dieing to a world boss doesn't incur durability damage).

Revamping wow wouldn't work for the game.. Blizz realize that even if they made wow 2, and it played the same way with maybe a change in combat mechanic its still gonna be compare to past wow success wise and I fear they can't duplicate that because the way mmo fans play mmo nowadays..
To this day I still play and love Wow, and won't stop, I'll take a month or 2 off but I'll be coming back until they close the game down..
I think they are in no rush to release or announce a new mmo because that would steal from there own product.. I'm sure they are watching the market and seeing were all these new releases are failing, be it marketing, not getting the mmo feel right, not enough polish etc...
No mmo can return to there glory days, because it seem in every mmo after an xpac is release and stuff change a bit from how they were, person keep claiming the old style was better.. The only thing I would keep from vanilla wow days are the unrestricted way things were, to this day I can't get why there is a weekly cap on completing a raid, on how much honor points I can really for the week etc.. who cares how fast one wanna consume content...

I don't think we can go back to old wow times. It's not really a game's fault. It's just we are somewhere different, much more experienced players and if somebody gave us WoW of old ages, we would think they are joking presenting such shallow and unfinished content.
To be honest, your article says: "Add new features to WoW and make it completely diffefrent game and I'll try it." It's probably best for both you and game to simply try different game.

Altvater: Michigan golf travel ideasWritten by Fred Altvater | | firstname.lastname@example.com
I am a Buckeye through and through, so I have never been a big Michigan fan, but I am beginning to have a new appreciation for the state.
It is loaded with great golf opportunities for every practicing golfaholic.
Most golfers are familiar with Arcadia Bluffs on the west side of the state. It sits majestically along the Lake Michigan coastline and many of the 18 holes offer panoramic views over the lake.
The veranda of the clubhouse is a great place to enjoy a meal or just a glass of your favorite beverage while you take in the beautiful surroundings.
The course is challenging and is always rated as one of the best in the state as well as the nation.
Many golfers are not aware of the gem that sits in the middle of the lower-peninsula near Roscommon: Forest Dunes.
This 18-hole Tom Weiskopf design opened for play in 2002 and is one of Weiskopf's best efforts. He routed nine holes through the thick pine tree forest and a second nine over and around the sand dunes, using much of the natural terrain.
The course earned rave reviews, but the property never gained popularity with golfers until just a couple years ago. It came under new ownership in 2012 and invested $1.5 million in the new Lake Au Sable Lodge that allows Forest Dunes to offer affordable stay and play packages.
One of the advantages of the location of Forest Dunes is its proximity to Gaylord, Mackinac, Traverse City and even Petosky. Golfers can stay at Forest Dunes and easily access the other wonderful attractions of Michigan.
Forest Dunes has just contracted world-famous golf architect Tom Doak to design a second 18-hole course. Construction has already begun and it will be ready for play by the summer of 2016.
When the new course is complete it will offer one of the most unique features of any golf course on the North American continent.
Forest Dunes is easily accessible off I-75. If you are heading north for a vacation or heading home from a northern adventure, do yourself a favor and stop by Forest Dunes for a quick 18 and a wonderful dining experience.
I recommend every golfaholic put Forest Dunes near the top of his or her bucket list.
Other wonderful golf locations in Michigan include Boyne, Lakewood Shores, Treetops and Crystal Mountain. Each offers complete accommodation packages and every amenity necessary to please even the most demanding golf traveler.
In addition to great golf, the western coastline along Lake Michigan is stunning with beautiful beaches, hiking and great views.
Spend a day or two driving along M-22 and explore Ludington, Manistee, Frankfort, Glen Arbor and the Leelanau Peninsula.
You won't be sorry.
Traverse City, Petosky, Harbor Springs and Charlevoix all offer great dining opportunities, as well as, golf.
Do yourself a favor this summer and take a road trip through Michigan.
As Tim Allen says on those television ads, enjoy some of Pure Michigan.

INDIANAPOLIS—The University of New Hampshire athletic department saw seven different sports programs honored on Wed., April 22, as recipients of 2008-09 NCAA Public Recognition Awards for their efforts in the classroom.
The teams receiving the honor for UNH included: men's cross country, football, men's soccer, men's indoor and outdoor track and field, and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
Just to show how impressive winning the award is, the UNH football team was one of only 23 teams in both FBS and FCS that were recognized. Also impressive was the fact that four of the 23 teams were members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), one of the strongest football conferences in FCS this past year. UNH, Richmond (national champion), Villanova and William & Mary were all honored from the CAA.
UNH was also outstanding among teams in the America East Conference, leading all America East schools with six conference teams honored. No other school in America East had more than three teams named to the list. In all, America East had 18 programs recognized
The NCAA honored NCAA Division I sports teams with public recognition awards for their latest multiyear NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR). These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
Multiyear APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced Wednesday, May 6.

I can definitely appreciate the ladies with you in that picture, JimJam!
I love how out of the first 10 posts for this thread, 7 of them are by banned members.
A couple other things that I've noticed going through 54 pages of fun here...
1. It's really a bobafrett album :P
2. LM, JT and myself haven't posted pics.
3. Early pics of Slick and Cappy are hilarious.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
From the best I can tell, my first submission to this thread was on page 47, and as I was going through some of the pages I came to realize
1. There are a lot of names that are registered that I haven't seen in a long time
2. R2DEE2 was still alive
3. My mom was still alive
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho and Darth Jax!!!!

Sara McMann ready for title fight – and possibility of Ronda Rousey getting 'under my skin'
Sara McMann is suddenly back in the MMA spotlight and ready to win the UFC women's bantamweight title.
The UFC announced this past weekend that McMann (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will face off with fellow Olympian and women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC 170, which takes place Feb. 22 at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center."I'm a professional fighter, so this is what I've been working toward the entire time," she today told MMAjunkie.
But McMann already knew that. Prior to Rousey's defeat of Miesha Tate at UFC 168, she was told she'd fight the winner of the grudge match, which co-headlined the pay-per-view event.
McMann, an Olympic silver medalist in wrestling, has been absent from the public eye since August, when she withdrew from a fight with ex-Strikeforce champ Sarah Kaufman at UFC Fight Night 27."I had a lot more action on my Twitter and Facebook and got a few text messages, but things haven't been that much different for me," McMann said.
Now, the most important thing is beating Rousey, a bronze medalist in judo who notched her eighth straight armbar victory in a rematch with opposing "The Ultimate Fighter 18" coach Tate this past weekend."I had more important things to do," said McMann, who declined to say why she withdrew from the fight other than to confirm she was dealing with "undisclosed personal issues," as initially reported.
As to what mistakes Rousey made, well, she isn't in the business of telling her opponent what she needs to work on."Both girls did some things very well," McMann said of the fight. "Both girls obviously made mistakes, like every fight you ever see."
The bout marks the first time the UFC has promoted a bout between two Olympic medalists, though as of late, Rousey's image isn't so squeaky clean."There's no time that any of us go out there and don't reveal something," McMann said. "Even if Miesha couldn't exploit it, she revealed it.
"If it were somebody that were making minute technical errors in striking, I would have a harder time exploiting it considering my background. But when people make a grappling error, I'm in a great position."
Despite her dominant performance in the cage, Rousey elicited boos from the UFC 168 crowd when she refused to shake her rival's hand following a third-round submission victory. The reaction followed chatter among fans that her reputation took a hit during her appearance on "TUF 18." Cameras frequently caught her muttering expletives and making obscene gestures toward Tate.
McMann didn't watch the reality show, and added she wouldn't watch any reality show if she had spare time. However, she heard about Rousey's antics and isn't surprised the champ has taken the bad-girl role.
So as she prepares to fight Ronda, she'll also prepare to listen to her, as well."I know I hear from people in my gym that there was a negativity toward her with everything that went down on 'The Ultimate Fighter,'" McMann said. "I see the way that she was treating people. I just think that in life, I don't care how good you are. If you treat people in certain ways, it doesn't take long for people to say, 'I don't really like that.' I think it was a matter of time."
"I'm just going to prepare for anything that could possibly happen, something that would throw me off my game or get inside my head," McMann said. "I'm going to be ready if it happens. I don't respect a Tate rivalry, but I'm not naive enough to think she's not going to say anything that would get under my skin. I think that would be foolish."
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Miesha fought how she always fights. She is a wrestler at heart and reverted back to what she's good at during the fights.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
So how many rounds is Cormier vs Evans?

Q:Does it seriously leave dark residue or make green pits? If so, is there anyway I can prevent that from happening if I order this?Asked on 2/9/2015 by Remee from Manhattan, NY
1 answer
A:We chose Powdered Charcoal in this product because of it's ability to absorb moisture. The Patchouli and Calamine powder mix together to soothe and calm while leaving your skin perfectly earthy scented. So long as you work the product into the skin with your hands as intended, you shouldn't be left with any residue.Answered on 3/22/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:It says in features that this product can be used on feet? My boyfriend has had a foot odor issue since he was a kid and I want to know how it would work and also how it is applied. Also, can it be worn on the feet throughout the day or is bedtime a better solution?Asked on 3/13/2014 by Angie from Asheville, NC

A:Both, whenever feet need some freshening up! You can sprinkle a bit into your shoes as well!Answered on 3/22/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT

A:I'd be glad to help. My fiancé uses gov. On his pits only but, I tried using it on my pits but found it wasn't potent enough so switched to teo and love it! But I am one that doesn't like to waste my beauty products so I thought, how can I still put this powder to use? I have a few pair of shoes that tend to smell toward the end of the day, so I started sprinkling the powder inside the shoes. I have noticed there is no odor anymore with those shoes. If his foot odor just happens with shoes on if suggest doing what I did. But if his feet are a bit stinky on their own maybe at night he can sprinkle some into his socks and that might help. Good luck!

A:My husband uses the foot powder in his boots to control his foot
odor/sweating. He has athletes feet and his feet also sweat bad. He
sprinkles some of the powder in his work boots and also rubs it on his
feet in the evening. He has also been using Lush's Alkmaar soap on his
feet in the shower, which has helped a great deal.
Hope this helps!!!

Q:Hey, I had gotten a sample of this and was really excited to use it. I had applied it in the morning before I went to work and to my dismay when I got to the gym I already could smell a little bit of B.O. All the reviews are so positive, I feel like I am using enough and I don't really ever have a problem with B.O. Is there anything I might be doing wrong or anything that I could pair this with to make this work for me? I would really like to switch to a natural deodorant but I'm worried that this is the strongest deodorant and just doesn't seem to do it for me.Asked on 8/29/2013 by Andrea

A:It may just be that this particular deodorant doesn't quite do it for you, as everyone's body chemistry is different! We would recommend trying a dusting of the Guv'ner over Aromaco, which will give you the dual protection of the bar and powder. Alternately, perhaps another powder deodorant may give you more successful results!Answered on 10/28/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Wash your pits, dry them then use what some call an applicator, i.e. wet deodorant or lotion personally I use a body lotion.
Also I dont like this deodorant I hate petiole (sp?) I think it smells like BO so it could be that and not actual BO
T for toes is much more like a traditional Deodorant, and I prefer CoconutAnswered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Does this product stain clothing?Asked on 3/19/2013 by Nana from Florida
1 answer
A:Because the Guv'ner is dark in colour, it may leave marks on lighter clothing. Apply a small amount carefully and stick to dark shades for best results. When you're wearing lighter colours, Coconut might be a good option!Answered on 3/19/2013 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:what does it smell like?Asked on 7/17/2012 by rmm3
1 answer
A:Guv'ner has a wonderfully herbal scent with patchouli and lavender coming out as the main scents, I find.Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct

Another Step Forward in WVU's Facility Plan
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Significant improvements and investments for West Virginia University athletic facilities gained a vote of approval today from the West Virginia Board of Governors Facility Sub-Committee.
Now, pending full Board of Governors approval at the Friday, April 4 meeting, as well as further authorization from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission at its April meeting, the projects are getting closer to becoming a reality.
Last week, the Board's seven-member Finance Sub-Committee reviewed the plans and associated resolutions that would authorize the issuance of revenue bonds in late summer to cover the principal costs of updating and modernizing many of WVU's decades-old facilities.
The athletic facilities master plan – with some projects expected to begin later this year, others in the coming years – is estimated to cost $106 million, with $75 million in bonds made possible from guaranteed annual revenue from the Big 12 Conference, $6 million from a capital expenditure fund in the multimedia rights contract with IMG and $25 million in private donations through the Mountaineer Athletic Club.
Initially, the football team room in the Milan Puskar Center will be updated and expanded, and renovations and expansions will be undertaken at 34-year-old Milan Puskar Stadium to include the concourses, restrooms, gates, concessions, LED boards and wall graphics. A marquee at the Coliseum intersection is also planned.
"Many of the current athletic facilities are 35-45 years old and in need of major makeovers," said Michael Szul, senior associate athletic director for business operations.
Szul said the following revenue and varsity sports projects are also in the planning stages: renovation of the Coliseum restrooms and concession areas and potential expansion of the concourses; renovations and a new indoor track at the Shell Building; additional home and visiting locker rooms; additional weight rooms; renovation of the Natatorium and tennis courts; repurposing Hawley Field; and additional infrastructure improvements to enhance the fan experience.
Recently completed projects include the new basketball practice facility, renovations at the Dreamworks soccer field, the weight room and coaches meeting area at the Puskar Center, renovations at the Natatorium and ongoing preventative maintenance projects. In addition, the new TIF-funded baseball ballpark is slated for completion in early 2015.

My 12 year old loves this style and it is hard to find in the boys section of the stores. The tight fit on the bottom of the leg makes the length over a range of inseams because it does not drag on the floor. Size and fit was true to my expectations. ... read more
I'm 6'0 tall and 155lbs. I brought these pants to in Large to fit me a little big and loose because I wanted to walk around them comfortably and they were perfect. They were just a little long, but not enough to bother me. Overall I'm very comfortable with these pants. If you want something shorter and a little tighter I would recommend getting a medium. ... read more
These are the only soccer pants my boys will wear. They are stylish and comfortable on the field and off. I just wish the material lasted longer. They tend to get snags, the material gets scuffed up easily, and they get small holes in the knees even though I never wash them in hot water or put them in the dryer. Should be more durable for the price. ... read more
I searched for a slim fit pant for awhile but kept finding running tights or compression pants. The Tiro 15 is exactly what I wanted; slim fit but not too snug or tight. I'm 5'11"; 155 lb. A medium sized pant fits perfect and are so comfortable. The black on black looks awesome. I wear them so often I plan to purchase another pair. . ... read more
I'm 5'7" and I got the small, the fit was good (maybe a little tight around the calves but I dont mind), but it went 4 inches past my ankle. You can fold it up, but then it looks kinda bulky near the bottom, and the zipper makes the bottom a little stiff. Otherwise, it looks good, especially with soccer shoes, and its pretty comfortable. ... read more
I took a punt on these buying an XS as at the time I wasn't sure if there would be new stock fully expecting to return them. My instinct would be to go for small. As it turns out XS is the perfect fit. I'm just slightly under 5' 10" and about 11 stone. They are great for playing in and I love the tapered leg, not so good for lounging around as I prefer baggier trackies for that. The only problem is my girlfriend seems to like them so I might have to buy another pair for her so I can have mine back! ... read more
First and foremost the Adidas Tiro 15 Training Pants define comfort! It's like the pants have lungs of its own, I've owned many kinds of training pants but the ventilation these pants offer are unbelievable. Whether you're training or just running errands, stylistically with the tapered/zipper cuffs, these pants meet both kind of functions. ... read more
Been buying Adidas Soccer pants, and Tiro 15 edition has definately decreased the quality of the pants with this edition. Material quality is quite thinner and less climacool patches to release the heat. was more satified with earlier models of the pants. Try to get a hand on those if possible. ... read more
The Adidas condivo 14 pants have a unique and sleeck look. They are very appealing to wear out in pulic as ordinary pants not to mention they Are very breathable for athletic purposes. These are by far the best training pants I have ever owned. The only thing is that they run a little long. But other than that I seriously recommend this product. ... read more
Thee pants are comfortable & stylish & also warm. My only recommendation is to order a size up if you want a more comfirtable or slouchy fit. I usually wear a small, but ordered a medium & they fit exactly how I'd like. ... read more
I purchased these pants in a women's small but they were too long for me. So, I decided to purchase these in the kids large size and they fit me perfectly. These pants keep me nice and cool during cardio workouts. I even use them for yoga. For reference, I'm a woman in her early 20's and am 5'5. The size charts Adidas provides are accurate. ... read more
Im 5"7.5 almost 5"8 and i bought the black pair and navy ones too, both in medium. legs are perfect, not too tightly fitted or skinny. size small doesn't differ much with the waist but near the calf area is tighter and looks silly. id advise guys my height or even 4 inches taller with a 32 waist to buy medium. ... read more
Amazing quality, too short. It surprises me that Adidas don't make these pants longer than 77cm, which is only 30" I would've thought they made these with the athletic figure in mind, tall and slim. All I would say is make sure you try them on before buying. ... read more
Went in to buy a pair of tiro 13 however because Adidas released the 15 i had to get them they feel very cheap compared to my old tiro 13 & 11 and the top white band looks very tacky, Still the best the pants for playing football in but not the usual well built quality i expected ... read more
It fits GREAT!!!! just one thing for the ppl @ adidas make sure to check the product before sending it the Tiro 15 Training Pants I bought came with a wide open gap where the inseams is @ lucky enough I know how to sew so it wasn't a problem but still double check before sending out ur products but still GREAT!!! purchase ... read more

The solution is the vertical (i.e. dense) city! In addition to the major nature waster, it solves all aspects of the problem (e.g. forests and heating). What is the problem? Have you ever heard that all your technological advance is based on oil, that is over?
I ask a lot of questions and "I have extreemly low tolerance for the stupid bullshit" (G. Carlin). Yes, beauty is not relative. Particularly, this means that I do not accept bullshit. Circular argument (it is so because it is so) or unrelated details are not arguments. Do you consider this rude? Go fuck. I'd rather offend people than pander to them.
pay especially close attention whenever an idea is being suppressed.
It seems to me that the idiocy is amplified by Fluff Principle here. I consider Stackexchange a best place for challenging the assumptions in popular beliefs. But, I see that people, who are unable to listen, practice ostracism. The bigots from all over the world confer to ignore my argument and preach what they know, the simple minded beliefs. For instance, why don't we have spacedelta in python, why direction makes difference between scalars and vectors, conductor must gain charge when electrons are set into motion, what is the point of accept method in visitor pattern. These are all cases where I ask to argue for the fundamental basics and all are massively downvoted. People hate to know why popular things are like they are! This is bigotry as is the macros are evil overprotection.

Rated 3.9 out of 5Â by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BOHOGYPSY Best Leggings There is nothing worse then going out in Fall or Winter and everyone has the same plain boring black leggings on. These will give you that extra pizzaz you will want to style your outfits. I love these and cant wait for more ruffle styles to come out! 10.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aars Gotta love 'em! So so happy I ordered these. I wear them with black tights underneath - looks great. Strech is confortable and they fit very well - I'm a size 26 / S in jeans. 1.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by alexask Gets Attention, A Few Considerations This is a pretty fun legging. Even in a world of legging obsequiousness this stands out. I get many compliments and "where did you get that, I want to go buy that right now". Only a few things not so perfect for me - the material could be nicer, it's not soft and feels a little scratchy. I also think this would be better in the form of two pieces, one stocking for each leg. Like a really high thigh high. UNLESS you are daring enough to rock it just as a pant! Also, it is not exactly slimming. Looks a little chubby around the thigh area. But that comes with the territory of horizontal stripes. 10.3.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by scandal Yup- it's a winner I find that every time I come across these in my closet that I fall more and more in love with these. They're like a spanish-lace look and fit nicely. Yes, they may seem tight, but it's almost like putting on a pant and not as much strech as a legging. This isn't a bad thing! I just want to be able to put them with more and more outfits- and believe me, I will be finding every excuse to wear them when possible. 7.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lovefoxx Sexy legging! well worth it.. I do not understand why ppl keep complaining abt how fragile the legging is.. for my opinion this legging runs true to size.. im 5'3 116 lbs usually wear a S sometimes XS.. i got this in M/L due to reading other ppls reviewing that the legging runs small and has no elasticity.. i would say if u get the correct size.. u will nv rip the legging lol.. ppl that ripped the legging must be either struggling to squeeze into it or too careless while wearing it.. 3.26.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Lexieee Boo! I was so excited to get these, especially for the sale price. When I tried them on for the first time they immediately ripped. They also didn't even fit right.... I'm 6ft tall and about 130 lbs, but these leggings made me feel obese. My legs couldn't even fit in them, even with the rip. Not worth it. 3.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by natalieraenash Good Buy! The run a little small. The sizing is different than traditional sizes for leggings. Although I knew it would be see-through, after trying it on I realized that I would have to wear a dress, slip or long shirt over it to be decently dressed. It's a great material and I love the way it feels on! Good essential to have! 3.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lovenug Cute and Comfortable These leggings are surprisingly warm and cozy. I love how stretchy the material is and they're not itchy at all. perfect for winter but could probably wear them in the early spring and fall as well. 3.11.2013
