Best anklet sock on the market.
07/18/15 | By Kenneth B.
I have been wearing Thorlo socks for the past 26 years. For the first 23 years it was the boot socks; I ditched the GI socks for Thorlos while working for Uncle Sam. The quality is outstanding. You can buy cheaper socks, but you can't buy better ones.
Great all a round sock for summer use
07/17/15 | By Edwin w S.
Liked the feel and how they fit. Have wide foot so they were easy to put on. Liked the quarter crew height.
fit your feet
07/08/15 | By Carolyn D.

Best socks for hiking and they're not white. It's hard to find crew socks that aren't white.
07/02/15 | By Stephen L.
They are very comfortable with good padding.

average comfort and fit
My new favorite socks!
04/18/15 | By Susan G.
I've never had socks this comfortable. They also launder very well. My feet feel like they are walking on a cloud.
comfortable hiking socks
04/18/15 | By Paul J.
the socks were a great fit. they were very comfortable. Unfortunately the synthetic composition made my feet smell. I will be trying another sock with a different blend.
Not the ones you sent
04/16/15 | By Steve O.
I only worn them once, and they were a big disappointment!!!
Great for day hiked
04/11/15 | By Robert N.
Bought these for hiking in the mountains near Tucson. Very comfortable, cushioned to absorb the rough trails in the mountains.
light hiking and Teaching all day
04/08/15 | By Mark F.
These socks are so comfortable and soft. I wear these socks during the day as I teach high school. I have some older ones like this that do not wear out!
Comfortable on the trail
03/21/15 | By George V.
They are smooth and light.
Cushoned and comfortable
03/19/15 | By Nowell S.
Cushioned and comfortable
Great socks - very comfortable!
I got these for my husband - he has a lot of foot problems and has a tendency to get pressure points, sores, etc. when he works out. We have tried a lot of different socks with varying degrees of success. He has only had these about 3 weeks so he has worn them 2-3 times. So far, he has reported that they are very comfortable and keep his feet cushioned well so no pressure points or sores as of yet.
Nice everyday socks.
03/13/15 | By Cris M.
The quality of these socks is very good. I wish that they had better breathability;I think the issue is due to the use of some synthetic materials.
Best sock's ever!
03/11/15 | By Belen D.
I bought these socks for my Husband, and he claims that they are the best socks he's ever owned. They are comfortable and provide nice padding and support when he walks. He only wishes they came in more colors.
Amazing socks for hiking!
03/10/15 | By John C.
I was skeptical at first about the rave reviews regarding these socks. I actually just hiked Big Basin Berry creek falls trail in Santa Cruz and these socks held up muich better than expected. I did not get any blisters and were pretty comfortable throughout the hike. We jogged parts of the second half, after the waterfalls, and the socks were comfortable throughout that portion as well. I actually recommended these socks to a friend during the hike!
My go to hiking socks
01/29/15 | By Damon E.
These are by far the most comfortable hiking socks I've ever worn. There's nothing worse than a bulky seem rubbing your toes the wrong way and these socks have ultra smooth comfy seems and an all around great feel!
Very comfortable for hiking
01/25/15 | By Mark H.
My feet felt very comfortable both during and after a 14+ mile hike, similar to results using alpaca socks. I'm Anxious to see how they perform on a multi day hike.
Great for hiking
01/07/15 | By Reed A.
The perfect gift.
01/07/15 | By Darlene B.
I purchased these for my husband for Christmas. He loves them. It's the first Thorlo socks he's had and it won't be the last.
Best socks for walking.
01/04/15 | By Craig V.
All Thorlo socks offer great comfort. Years ago, my doctor recommended Thorlo Socks for running. I am glad that he did. Though I no longer can run, Thorlos are the only socks I wear. They are well worth the price. I wish that they were offered in additional colors.
Most comfortable socks!
12/31/14 | By S S.
I actually bought these for my husband. Thorlo socks are the "only" socks I wear! He also loves them!

12/08/14 | By Duane H.
comfortable and cushioned
Great all around socks!
12/07/14 | By Douglas J.
These are very comfortable and fit beautifully. These are great with my hiking shoes!
Husband is pleased
12/05/14 | By Joel B.
I bought these for my husband and he says that they are comfortable and fit well. I have washed/dried them and they still fit like they did as new. I bought them with a special promotion, so I feel they were worth it. All in all, nice socks, husband is happy and I would purchase them again.
Good Stuff
12/05/14 | By Caleb M.
These socks are comfortable and provide great support. It is a good balance between comfort and utility.
11/09/14 | By Robert R.
I have heard so much about thorlos socks my expectation was set really high. They are a good sock with great cushioning and confort. I would recommend these to my friends.
warm weather socks for gym & running
11/02/14 | By Peter C.
Too soon to rate fairly but comfy so far.
Excellent performance
10/13/14 | By James D.
Hiked many miles on separate occasions and I have to say, these are the best socks I've ever owned. I never realized what a difference a great pair of socks can make. These are comfortable, warm, and somehow kept my feet dry. I could not be more happy with my experience.
Great hiking sock
10/12/14 | By Darren G.
Great cushion and support.
Great Hiking Sock
10/11/14 | By Robert R.
I have a pair of these socks in the crew length but I wanted the shorter, ankle length for use in my low hikers. Great sock, Breathable, comfortable and durable. I would reorder these again.
Amazing socks for hiking
10/09/14 | By David L.
I used the free order to get these socks and was really amazed at the quality of the socks and also how good they made my feet feel. I have tried on other pairs of socks from other companies and these are definitely top notch socks for walking, hiking or just having around on any given day. I would highly recommend them.
good sock for walking shoe
10/08/14 | By Daniel C.
They are very good socks and are very comfortable.
10/03/14 | By Jai L.
Hiking Utah's National Parks
09/27/14 | By Henry H.
Order these socks before leaving and hiked daily with no blisters or foot pain. Excellent socks.
09/14/14 | By Jeffrey J.
Preparing for Grand Canyon Rim2Rim2Rim. These socks are great.
Hiking socks
08/27/14 | By Bill B.
I have worn other Thorlo socks in the past, & these didn't seem to be nearly as soft & comfortable as my other socks. I don't know if it was just a fluke, seconds, or what it was, they just didn't seem to measure up. I really would have been disappointed if I had paid full price.
Anotehr good product
08/24/14 | By Wm. W.
These were obtained based on previously owning Thorlo products, and my continued satisfaction with them. They have been added to the normal sock rotation.
Best hiking socks
08/14/14 | By Jim C.
Realize that all the money, time, effort and gear to hike are all worthless if you have a foot problem on the trail. These socks are precision foot ware. Buy a couple of pairs before you fit your hiking shoes, and your feet will feel much better at the end of the day. Rugged, careful craftsmanship, they are worth every penny. I carry a spare pair.
I know now why the phrase "You get what you pay for" came into being
08/07/14 | By John S.
I was skeptical at first, but got a pair to try them out. I was pleasantly surprised as these are the most comfortable socks I have ever owned. I went out and bought several more pair. They are comfortable and keep my feet dry and free from blistering. I walk several miles a day on concrete flooring. These socks have made all the difference. You truly do get 'what you pay for'.
Thorlos are a Great Value
08/04/14 | By Todd N.
I have been wearing the full length Thorlos for years for work. I wanted to try the short socks for summer wear. The Thorlo socks are very comfortable and durable. Some of the full length socks I have been wearing for over 6 years. These socks cost more than the average "tube" sock but they are significantly more comfortable and they last a long time. I'm finally wearing out some socks purchased in 2007, they have some small holes in the toes now. For a good value these socks can't be beat.
Best for light hiking and walking
07/30/14 | By William T.
I'm a senior (70) who played racquetball for over 35 years until knees and back said no more. I stumbled upon Thorlo tennis socks during that time frame. After my first pair, that was all I ever wore. Now that I am walking and light hiking in Blue Ridge mountains, I am now the proud owner of 3 pair of these light hiking socks. My feet no longer burn when hiking. Thanks to Thorlo for providing a trial pair. I immeditely bought 2 more pair.
Great sock for hiking in hot humid weather
07/27/14 | By Jim F.
I purchased the LTHMX socks from Thorlos In preparation for my trip to Nicaragua. We hiked up along the rim of volcanoes and down into gorges with waterfalls in tropical temperatures ranging from mid-nineties to mid-seventies. The socks did great! Kept my feet comfortable and dry.
Quick dry - very comfortable
07/27/14 | By Ed V.
Am in Europe right now walking many miles each day. These are now the only socks I am wearing. Wash them at night. Dry by morning. Extremely comfortable. Feel guilty that i got them free from Thorlo (promotion). Am buying extras when I return to the States.
Great, but I wish they made it in an ankle high version
07/27/14 | By Jim C.
Great socks, very comfortable. I tried these based on my experience with the crew length hiker. I probably won't stock up on these .... but if they made it in a lower top I'd buy more.
Every day socks during the summer
07/23/14 | By Greg S.
These socks have a great cushion, Should wear well. Only wish they were a little less expensive, but you get what you pay for and these socks are the best.
07/18/14 | By Marc B.
very cushy
Great hiking sock.
07/18/14 | By Dennis W.
Thanks Thorlo. This is a great hiking sock, thicker than I expected and that is a good thing.
Good Light Weight Hiker
07/11/14 | By Carlton M.
Got my socks and hit the trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. Very comfortable and just the right weight for summer time hiking.
06/20/14 | By Jerry G.
Excellent for walking and hiking or every day wear!
a pair for every day!
06/16/14 | By Andy F.
Recently ordered 4 more pair of these socks. Not because the other pairs wore out, but to make sure that I had a pair for every day of the week. these are the only socks that I have ever found to be accurately sized and the also last forever.
Amazing socks for hiking!
06/16/14 | By Seungchul C.
Never knew socks made difference.
Very nice socks!!
06/13/14 | By Leonard K.
These socks feel like they have a lot of cushion without feeling bulky and are very soft. I wore them on a pretty warm day and my feet did not get hot and stayed dry. I have a couple other brands of hiking socks and these are definitely my favorite.
thorlo consistent quality.
06/13/14 | By Matthew P.
I like thorlo socks for after my hike. For some reason the toe rolls in my boot or trail runner. They are warm and very nice as a camp sock.
The Best. Period.
06/08/14 | By Anthony K.
Thorlo's are the only socks I wear. They are super comfortable and last a decade or so. Well worth the money.
Great socks for ultra light hiking
06/04/14 | By Whitney L.
In the past few years I had moved away from thorlos and went with a Marino wool, only problem is out here in or the wool socks get caked in pumice and loose any softness inside over time. When I first got these socks the first thing I noticed was how soft they were inside. The socks have ample coushion and are just the right amount of sock volume and padding inside my altra lone peaks. The socks dry quick when wet, and have retained their plush oiling even after a full weekend on the trail- yes imam that guy same socks for 3 days in the woods. Overall I hunk these are a great value for the money, well made and very comfortable all day long
Great for trail running and hiking
06/04/14 | By Steve E.
These socks are perfect for the trail running and hiking I do in the mountains of Colorado. No more blisters, and I love the cushioning effect they have. My feet are happy.
Probably the best socks I've used for hiking
06/03/14 | By Jianyi L.
We went to Alaska last year and hiked the exit Glacier. While the hike was great, we had wet shoes and and soggy socks by the end. I decided to give these socks a try for our next hike on Mount Rainier. Needless to say I was very impressed with how dry and comfortable my feet were at the end of the trip. Definitely a great product.
Great socks
06/03/14 | By Donald R.
Very comfortable. No hard seams or edges. Great all day long.
So comfortable!
05/29/14 | By Ben T.
These socks are very comfortable. They're great for hiking or at the office.
Very comfortable
05/29/14 | By Cj J.
I don't do much running, but I can tell you that these running socks work very well for walking. They're the same high quality that I've come to expect from Thorlos.
Need a better sock for 10 miles of walking a day
05/29/14 | By William K.
I have large heals and they are difficult to put on and do not go up to the ankles. They feel too small for my size 11.5 feet. I walk 10 miles a day on cement, asphalt and grass. My feet felt like they were burning at the end of the day. Do you make other socks that can take this kind of wear and tear? Could I try a better recommendation? If I find a sock that works I will be buying more.
best for hiking
05/29/14 | By Jim L.
Never get blisters
Awesome hiking socks!
05/29/14 | By Joseph G.
I do a lot of walking/hiking in the summer months, and have been looking for a comfortable pair of hiking socks for the heat. The Thorlos LTHMX light hiking socks are cool, comfortable, and durable. I'll be ordering some more for my boys this summer!
Great socks..!!
05/28/14 | By Kathleen P.
These are a really comfortable pair of socks, definitely a good quality, and worth purchasing more.. My son loves them.....
Light to Moderate Hiking these are the Socks you want.
05/27/14 | By Alfred M.
I didn't realize how much a Pair of socks could make a difference while hiking. These are Comfortable, Durable and my feet stay dry in really hot weather.The only word of caution is that these Socks are on the thicker side so be aware to have these on when you are buying your next pair of hiking shoes. You wont regret buying these.
Great hiking socks!
05/27/14 | By Jeff A.
Awesome pair of socks. Great wicking - kept my feet dry on a pretty warm hike in Sierras. Comfortable, with a great cushioning (not too much to require a size up, but enough to feel some relief).
Good for hiking
05/25/14 | By Scott S.
I just finished a 100 mile hike through Shenandoah National Park. My feet were beat up and sore, but no blisters at all.
Another great Thorlo product!
05/23/14 | By Michael H.
I've been wearing Thorlo socks for years and the quality and value is second to none. These socks are no exception. Good fit, comfortable, and well made. I expect to get years of wear out of these, just like I have with the many other pairs of Thorlo socks I own.
not bad
05/04/14 | By Steve B.
socks are pretty good
04/26/14 | By Paul M.
great sock
A bit disappointing
04/18/14 | By Jean-claude B.
They are comfortable, but my feet got sweaty in them, despite claims made that this shouldn't happen (and my feet don't tend to get particularly sweaty usually)...
Outlasts cotton by miles!!
03/30/14 | By Phil N.
Purchased these socks once and have never looked back. Outlasts anything I have ever worn. Have purchased nothing else for years!
great summer socks for hiking & walking!
03/28/14 | By Martha C.
Love the cushioning Thorlos provide. They're so comfortable and well made. I also love the fact that they're made in the USA!
Comfortable and long wearing
02/27/14 | By Patrick O.
These little rascals fit well and don't like to move around. Some of my older pairs I just replaced, and not because they were full of holes or falling apart. Oh no, even the elastic for the ankle was still perfect. But after 4 years of constant use they slowly wore thin and just lost some cushioning. But eventually all good things come to an end, so I broke down and bought some more. I gave a pair to a friend who sure loved them, but this guy has probably spent a gillion more bucks on socks over the years than I. So now he can have at least one pair that does the job and last all day for a lot of days. For work or hiking, Thorlo gives me the best bang for the buck and they look good doing it, even in sandals. Thanks Thorlo
Best Sock for Work
02/02/14 | By Christopher B.
Wear these for work. I have to walk a lot in a warehouse and like wearing these.
Comfortable everyday socks.
01/25/14 | By Chip M.
I wear these socks everyday at work, walking, and hiking. Love my Thorlos! Have been wearing Thorlos for 25 plus years.
Love them socks!
01/22/14 | By Chip M.
I wear these socks everyday, 7 days a week, at work and walking and hiking. Been wearing Thorlos for over a quarter of a century! Wow; am I really that old!
Great Socks
01/22/14 | By Richard E.
These are great socks for tennis and hiking. Plenty of padding to absorb impacts.
Best for all the time wearing.
01/19/14 | By Fred W.
No doubt these are great hiking and walking socks but I wear them everyday. The best socks I have ever owned.
best over all socks
01/18/14 | By Michael S.
I have been wearing these brand of socks for over twenty years . For my money thorlos makes the best product. For comfort and durability they are number one. Thank You Team THORLOS. Keep up the great job.
Excellent socks to use with cross-training shoes
12/21/13 | By J.t. C.
I have used Thorlo LTHMX socks for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them for everyday wear and especially with my workout shoes during the warm months. I use the heavier padding during the winter.
Where have these been all my life?
12/19/13 | By Fred W.
These are hands down the most comfortable socks I have ever worn.
Wouldn't buy any other brand!
11/06/13 | By Susan H.
These are the most comfortable hiking socks. Light weight and cozy on my feet. My husband loves his, too
My Sons Socks
10/30/13 | By Nadine E.
These are a requested Christmas gift. He loves them.
good socks for golfing
07/25/13 | By Melchor P.
I walk a lot when playing golf (Mon. to Fri.) and these socks are very comfortable and durable at the same time! 18 holes of golfing is about 5 miles at our course.
Good for sandals
07/06/13 | By Stephen T.
Product quality not quiet as good as two or three years ago.
Best socks for all-around comfort
06/23/13 | By Austin C.
Not only very comfortable, but socks hold shape after several washings.
Awesome socks!!
06/20/13 | By Jeremy P.
My feet love them. Very comfortable and breathable. These are now the ones I dig through the laundry the find so I can wear them first.
Excellent hiking sock!
06/06/13 | By Roelof T.
These socks give the right amount of cushion and breath well.
05/10/13 | By Austin C.
Perfect for my desired footwear. Thanks for the recommendation. ac
help my feet from ache
one of the best socks on market.
Great hiking socks.
On weekends I do alot of day hiking and spend many hours outside. I like high-quality gear and that's why I bought Thorlos hiking socks. Their performance exceeded my expectations.
Great socks!
I like those socks. Thank you for keep up high standard of quality over the years. Your great consumer service is most appreciated.
Best Socks EVER!
My son first discovered these socks as a Boy Scout and they quickly became the ONLY socks he ever wanted to wear. Fast forward to a Senior in HS and he still swears these are the BEST SOCKS EVER and he still has the ones I first got him, as good as the day I bought them. I recommend these socks to everyone for comfort and longevity.
Great socks, but ....
12/21/12 | By Jeff H.
I would very much like to see a version of the same sock but with thick padding. That would earn a 6 star review from me!
Great summer socks
Very comfotable. I wear these daily in the summer.
Hubby Likes
Since I love these socks so much, ordered some for my hubby and he is now a fan for casual wear.
Great sox for most everything
I do a lot of walking and hiking and these sox a are great weight for light to moderate hiking. I also where them around the house instead of shoes or slippers...really soft on your feet! I have another pair I purchased over 10 years ago and they are still in great shape. Great Sox.
Well made socks
I am a jouneyman electrician. These socks are a must when walking on concrete floors.
My Story
06/29/12 | By Terry D.
About 12 years ago, my wife gave me 2 pairs of slightly used thorlo hiking sox to take to Goodwill industries. In that the sox were in such good shape, I tried them and since that day, I haven't worn any other sox. I own only Thorlos. Thank you
Summer comfort without the heat!
06/21/12 | By Richard P.
My husband loves these low socks. He needs the support and comfort, but not the heat that longer socks promote in our hot summers. Thanks, Thorlo: when he has happy feet, he's a happy man!
Great sock!
Really good socks. Hiked all day and no discomfort at all. Worth every penny!
great summer golf sock
great sock for walking 18
Xmas gift for my husband, he's in love!!!!!!
I'll buy some for me now!!!
Great comfort
Larger then most socks! Still love these socks!!!
Great , Great, Great!!!!!!
12/14/11 | By Lance Y.
I will buy again in the near future.
the best ever....'nuff said?
11/23/11 | By Brian T.
I was skeptical about spending so much on socks until I bought some, now I will wear nothing else. I lead mountain climbing adventures for a local outdoor group, and I have recommended Thorlo socks to several of my members, while each was a bit hesitant because of the price, everyone who has ended up buying a pair has thanked me more than once for the recommendations. Since I bought my first pair, over 1500 miles of trekking, ZERO blisters.
comfortable and cushioning
09/11/11 | By Lorie J.
foot care as we hike bike climb walk and run is important. the aging requires preventive care. this is a great sock....i wont leave home without them. dr robert fogel
great for hot conditions
I work and live in midwest humidity/heat where moisture control is paramount. These socks give a grouchy guy comfort he never believed possible.
Great socks!
Perfect for my five mile hike!
the Best
comfort, fit, padding, you can't find anything better.
Super comfortable.
Rarely have I had a sock that was noticeably as comfortable as these... I look forward to giving them a good workout when I do a major hike later this month.
best all around hiking/running sock
I've been a Thorlo sock fan since early ultra running days. These puppies just last and last under all sorts of nasty conditions! This is by far my favorite style/type!!! 6'2" & 235lb. Clydesdale!
Excellent Hiking Sock
Great for hiking-the best!
Can't believe people don't know
Once you try Thorlos you will always use thorlos. they just make your shoes or boots more comforable. I have tried a few other high end sox,but I swear by the thorlos. Don't know how they do it, but I've had a couple of pairs for over ten years and they are still in really good shape.
Sock it to me
very comfortable - some shredding when I washed them per instructions inside out. so far so good.
Thorlo Did Not Let Me Down!
06/15/11 | By Rick G.
I have been a Thorlo customer for years and got others to try them. This time I tried the TRMX and Thorlo did not let me down. It was the same quality and comfort I've always enjoyed. I recently lost one on my vacation so if anyone finds a charcoal TRMX, please send it to me. Thanks.
Great Socks!
06/08/11 | By Donald F.
I walk playing golf 3 times weekly in them;very comfortable socks. Would buy again.
LTHMX Light Hiking Socks
06/01/11 | By Melvin c. P.
These socks were supposed to be navy, but they certainly lack any real color.
Great socks!
Wonderful for summer.
Excellent Sock
Excellent, can't say enough. These are just great!
bought these socks to wear with lowcut work boots. don't like them and won't wear them, because they are to thin and have the tight elastic across the bridge. also, bought a pair of the BMX thick cusion socks. they wear really good with lowcut boots. I would recomend the BMX, but not the light weight hiker.
my everyday sock
started using for hikes only and now use as my daily sock
most comfortable
don't even remember how long I had the last batch of these, forever I think. Just ordered new batch. Great cushion, never shrink, only sock brand out there that sizes accurately. they really fit
LTHMX Light Hiking Socks - Moderate Cushion
Because they are the first for me, I thought they were a bit warmer than I had expected. I tried a thick cushion but found it a bit to squishy when walking. So far these are ok, but next time I would get the full crew style.
Great Socks
06/13/10 | By Peter W.
great pairs of socks. wear them all the time. will definately get some more when these wear out.
so far so good
started hiking year ago and these are the only ones ive used.nice snug fit. may try another brand just to get a comparison.
06/03/10 | By Larry B.
I love these socks!
Wonderful socks for summer walking
04/18/10 | By Patricia T.
I love these for walking in the summer. I walk for about an hour, and I hate the sensation of sweaty feet. The wicking on these socks really works. I have had these for about two years, and they do shrink a tiny bit in the dryer. I still use my smaller ones, but I bought these one size larger. They still fit great, and I HAVE NEVER HAD A BLISTER since wearing THORLOS. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I Love my Thorlos!
Best socks period!
A Twist on "The Case of the Missing Socks"
For Christmas, in addition to the 12 pair of regular Thorlo socks I bought my husband, I also purchased 6 pair of these crew socks (he loves wearing them for work during summer). Socks. What a great present, right? :) Needing a another gift for our soon-to-be-son-in-law, Mike, I "borrowed" a few crew socks from my husband's stash, wrapped and stuffed them in Mike's hanging Christmas stocking. Perfect! One problem: I forgot our other daughter's boyfriend - Mike (#2) - had a hanging Christmas stocking as well... Imagine my surprise on Christmas morning when Mike #2 opened the socks, and MIke #1 had NOTHING. I later ended up giving Mike #1 my husband's remaining CREW socks and now have to buy my husband MORE THORLO Crew Socks. All I can say is that Mike #2 loved the cushiness and warmth of Thorlos and has become a convert. (As well as Mike #1! )
Comfort mile after mile!
12/31/09 | By Mark G.
I use these socks with my walking shoes during urban volkssport walks. I have several pairs of these sock and enjoy many miles of comfort. I have even worn these backpacking
best sock ever made
I will never be able to wear regular socks again..My feet are spoiled
My husband loves them
My husband wears size 15 shoes, so it is difficult to find socks that fit correctly and are comfortable. The Thorlo socks that I ordered actually fit and they are his favorite "go to" socks for hiking and biking. I like it that I can wash them with other clothes that use fabric softener rather than needing a separate load for other brands of hiking socks that require "no fabric softener." The color is great with his hiking shoes and he is enjoying them in all kinds of weather.
Right amount of padding
09/18/09 | By Michael K.
This is thinner than my usual socks so the shoes feel more loose. That's not bad at this point.
08/20/09 | By Bill C.
Very happy with socks and service.
The very best
08/13/09 | By Joseph M.
Have been looking for such a sock for years in stores, where they are typically unavailable. They are the most comfortable I have ever worn
Exactly what I was looking for
06/26/09 | By Mark H.
I have been wearing Thor-Lo socks since the 1980's. I was working as a Land Surveyor on the island of Maui. A co-worker who worked in Borneo recommended Thor-Los. I have been wearing them since then with no blisters or any other discomfort. I will not even consider any other brand of socks
Good comfort, excellent fit

Good choice for low-top hiking shoes and everyday wear with sneakers.
Found the right socks
03/26/09 | By Kirk M.
I've run in Torlo's for 20+ years, but had been looking for a thick sock for my lowcut hiking shoes..........I've tried alot of socks , Thorlo solved my problem.
Great work socks
03/19/09 | By Lance Y.
I wear these socks at work in a environment of 100-110 degrees.
Wonderful for long walks on a hot day.
01/08/09 | By Patricia T.
I love these socks. I walk for over an hour in the hottest weather and my feet feel great. I haven't had a blister in years. I think the padding really contributes in a major way to the amount of walking I am able to do.
Greatest Sports Socks Ever
12/03/08 | By Erich L.
Comfortable, fit like a glove, and love that soft sole
So comfortable
09/27/08 | By Judy F.
I walk a lot with my job and at the end of the day my feet do not hurt at all like they did with plain socks. I would suggest you try them yourself
Perfect for a summer walk
08/07/08 | By Kathy M.
These are so much more comfortable than my previous generic shortie cotton socks. They pad my feet and keep them cooler and drier.

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2004 As the United States prepares to celebrate and relax over the Independence Day weekend, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has a message for American troops:
"We are grateful, and I know the American people are deeply grateful (for your service)," the secretary said today in an interview with the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service.
Rumsfeld said he believes the July Fourth holiday will remind the American public "of our independence and of the freedoms that we value and how important the people in uniform are to the protection of those freedoms and to the defense of freedom."
He extended his words of praise to all coalition forces serving in Iraq and elsewhere. "God bless the people in the coalition -- our folks in uniform and the other countries."
He noted that many of them place their lives on the line every day in the course of their duties. And yet, their spirits remain high and they're confident they're doing the right thing, he said.
The secretary said Iraqi leaders also are grateful for the work of the American service members.
He explained that he had met with the Iraqi foreign and defense ministers during the NATO summit in Istanbul, Turkey, during the previous week. "They stood there and expressed their appreciation for what the American (troops) are doing for their country," Rumsfeld said. "And it's a heartfelt appreciation."
Iraqi leaders are anxious for U.S. and other coalition troops to stay in that country, Rumsfeld said. "They've asked us to stay," he said. "They've asked us to assist them in trying to assure security in the country as they begin to move towards a democratic system, fashion a constitution, have elections, and do all those things that Afghanistan's now doing."
He noted that Afghanistan is about a year and a half to two years ahead of Iraq in its journey toward democracy. He also said that the coalition troops in Iraq know they're making a difference.
"They see so much more than we read in our newspapers or see on our television here," Rumsfeld said. "We tend to see only the negative. But the fact is the people out there have a chance to see the progress that's being made."

Replacement needles
Replacement needles are available to those who have already ordered a worm threader.
Cost: $2.50 shipping included.
Not listed in the store, you will need to email me at mrrbob at gmail dot com and ask for one.I will reply asap. If you don't get a reply the same day resend your email as there is ether one of two things happened. One, my spam filter ate your email or I am out of town or out for the day or weekend etc. Still no response? call me at 509-663-1124
How to order: contact me at mrrbob at gmail dot com
I'll verify your previous order and then send you a payment request through paypal. If you have actually ordered from me in the past you can just go to paypal and send me the $2.50 or you can give me a call and I can do a credit card payment over the phone.
Sorry, I will not sell needles to anyone who has not ordered a worm threader from me in the past. I am not going in to the worm threader needle business. It takes as much time to pack and ship a needle as it does an entire worm threader. That is why I will support my customers with replacement needles, as a thank you for your past business and to stand behind my products.
Shipping: Needles will be sent using a regular envelope with cardboard inside folded in 2 and with the needle taped very well to the inside of the cardboard. There is some danger in this as the needle could dislodge from the cardboard and slide out of the envelope or it could get bent if the envelope gets mangled by the USPS but that never would happen right?. There will be lots of scotch tape holding the needle in place and this will be a pain in the arse to get off the needle. Sorry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2002 The U.S. State Department Dec. 5 warned Americans of a possible terrorist threat in Turkey.
"The U.S. Government has received unconfirmed and fragmentary information that suggests unknown terrorists may be planning to conduct a terrorist incident in southeast Turkey against official U.S. government facilities or personnel," the statement says.
It goes on to say "Americans should be particularly cautious" traveling into or out of Gaziantep airport, which is being used as an alternate while the Adana airport is undergoing repairs.
The statement says the U.S. and Turkish governments are cooperating fully to address the threat and that the Turkish government has "undertaken all prudent measures."
The alert extends through Jan. 2, 2003.
Roughly 5,000 Defense Department personnel and family members are stationed in Turkey, including about 2,200 service members.
Operation Northern Watch, the mission of monitoring the northern no-fly zone in Iraq, is managed from Incirlik Air Base in south-central Turkey. ONW sorties by coalition aircraft are flown from there.

WotLK also drew me back in for a bit. When Cata hit, I also made it to 85, joined a big raiding guild and promptly got bored to tears. 4.1 hit and I knew I had had enough, so I quit again. 4.2 doesn't interest me in the slightest.

It is a double pleasure to gank the ganker.
I don't usually take guesses at whether games will rise or fall, but I really am thinking that with the release of SWToR and GW2, WoW will finally take a huge subscription hit. I don't feel that way that because it is a bad game; it is a fantastic game. I feel that way because it is getting very old and tired and many people are already sick of the endless gear grind treadmill. A new patch, a new raid, and you get to start all over collecting gear just like you have done over and over in the past. It is the same with PVP, except in that case you have a partially developed system without a lot of effort from the developers. Add onto that the fact that the graphics are really seeming dated and you have potential for huge new MMOs like SWToR and GW2 to really steal people away.
For myself, the only reason I continue to go back to WoW is that there aren't any other exciting options out there. Rift is great, but it really gives me that feeling like I have already done this, except with more content before. The only truly different alternative is Eve and the steep learning curve and possibility of punishing losses makes that a game some of us are wary of getting into.
Currently playing:
Cata was great until I hit 85 and started the gear grind. I just don't care about getting purple pants so I can get better purple pants in the next tier of content. Seeing an encounter once is enough for me. To farm it for four more months just isn't my cup of tea anymore. I need something with a bit more depth.
a lot of player will come to kill ragnaros for the simple fact that most post vanilla wow player heard so much about him and couldnt figure out why player went in there again and again.will it be has hard harder?beats me but one thing is sure so much in the past didnt get to go in ragnaros hideout i bet this time around instead of the million we had back then it will prob 8 or 9 million going and try to get attuned you have to recall not many got to kill ragnaros AT lvl 60 in vanilla wow.most saw him in the bc era once he was watered down.check blackwing lair a lot have tried without success to solo this raid even tho it is a level 60 ,the mecanic is so ARRRG!that only the very limited few that are engineer and could clear the first room go to see blackwing lair in all its glory .just because say 20% of 1 million(im being generous here)saw the end content in vanilla wow,doesnt mean it is obsolete.i agree with this tho if it can be soloed without say proffession at 85 then dont bring it back ,but when you see places like blackwing lair and see level 85 player being stone walled to the first room,i say it isnt improper to bring those back.
4.2?i havent made my mind about it yet,but some stuff they bring to the table might make things interesting we ll see
It's a shame theres absolutely no focus on exploring and slowly leveling, experiencing the ambiance and zones and learning the lore. I hate how it was 5 levels from 80 just to smash your way up to 85 to grind your way to the uber top gear then prance around the city on your sparkly pony. What a damn shame this game has become, Here's to hoping blizz can revive themselves with a new game

Ok while i know that it is not kutym to direct your words towards the pen-masters of the site... I can say that form my (as a person that is not of vanilla nor outland fame, having come in with the wrathbabies after a serious burnout on City of Heroes) point of view this is defacto all new and fresh.. and maybe these are the players that Blizzard want to show a good game... those who never did the original MC or had a chance to play in Quel'Danas when it was populated and full of life.
mmo burnout happens and i think that is what have struck Mr Fuller here. Ofc after 6 years things will be a bit stale... such is life.
Did WB have a choice with Batman Arkham Knight... In short.. No.
This have been a good conversation

I stopped playing shortly after expansion release.
As a druid tank, looking at all the places and things I had to go through to get my gear to be beneficial in raiding I shook my head.
Now, I prescribe to the "don't give it to them easily" crowd however I also did feel that made it somewhere on the painful grind scale just to get decent gear. I am not "whinning" about gear as I was never a top tier player, had no aspirations to be top tier and enjoyed raiding as a casual player. I am just mentioning, that unless you were one of the more dedicated individuals who were more willing to spend hours upon hours upon hours to obtain the goal of the new item, Blizzard removed some of the challenging yet not over complicated method of optaining gear that was in BC and LK.
I stopped playing a druid and started to level my mage to 85. All the phasing techniques that were in place and none of my guild mates could come out and assist in any manner turned leveling into a painful process and unsociable if you couldn't have a companion leveling with you. Especially since you both had to be locked in step so you didn't phase out on one another. So, now my mage is somewhere at level 83 and my account is six months on the closed side.
I read the patch notes as they are released and when I heard the ZA was back and the mount was back I mentioned to friends who also play that "the carrot on a stick" wasn't motivation enough for me. Now reading the new notes and new content all I feel inside is "more grind, more grind, more grind and less play."
I wonder if Blizzard is locked in the insanity pattern. Where they are continuing to do the same things expecting different results.
I loved the game. However it became too repetitious and boring and I moved on. This content isn't going to win me back. However I hope that those still playing find it exciting and it keeps them occupied.

ya vanilla player often forget about all the oops and turn they had to do ,to get anywhere,want to go to mc? ok you got to go at it trough brd if your group didnt wipe (wich happened a lot back in vanilla days lol but that was what made it fun )hahaha
msa i agree with you i stopped trying to get end game gear a while ago ,check the latest idea for raiding ,lower cap to 980 per week and you need to have grinded for 11xxx some to be autorised to buy the gear you are eyeing!
so instead of 3 week it will be what 11 to 12 week before you can get what you want.lol
well said you guys, I used to love the game too. The release of cata was amazing, don't get me wrong but I'm extremely disappointed at how this game has become just an addiction and if you aren't addicted you can't have fun or do anything. I just wish It could be like the trailers seem to make it, about the story and lore and experiencing the world changing before your eyes. Until this game returns to such, good bye warcraft

well i do feel wow is on the brink despite how many players it has. wow has put out nothing new in years, just rehashed old content, or made the new content the same as the old content. wow has one thing going for it right now, there is no other good game out right now that people can play except for rift, and if you are bored with wow then rift will get boring right quick because it is alot of the same stuff. swtor looks to be the same thing again, more daily quests, more raids, more gear grind, just with a voiceover storyline to go with it.
secret world and archeage seem to be the only two games trying to break the mold and do something different and we just dont know enough about those games to say if those games are gonna break the mold and do something different though. gw2 looks to be a great game, but i dont know if its gonna be different.
wow and eve both are seeming to suffer from the same thing, player burnout, they have been around so long and both have made some huge changes to their game in different ways this year and it doesnt seem to be well recieved from the playerbase in both cases. maybe the games have just been going on too long with the same repetitive gameplay.

Seems like without someone to mimic out there, Blizzard can't seem to come up with it's own "original" ideas. I'm sure once SWTOR and GW2 and some others launch, Blizzard might start to add "new" things to WoW. I'm not holding my breath though and frankly have been bored since halfway through Wrath of the Lich King. The endgame in WoW seems to have the worst options available that I have ever seen in a game. I literally hit 85 on my mage and unsubbed after my first 2 heroics. Completed one, wiped on the other and at the time, the wait for heroics was an hour or more.
Came back after a few months break for 4.1, took a warlock to 85, had a blast, hit 85 and just felt the boredom come slamming back into me, even after jumping into a raid. I just wasn't having fun. I don't find fighting through trash, tons of trash, to get to a boss, listen to the strat, wipe on the boss and then have to run all the way back and try try again, to be fun in any way shape or form. I liked leveling because I felt like I was always improving, progressing. The endgame completely changes that dynamic in WoW and I always feel like I'm playing a different game when I hit the level cap. So, yeah, I'm bouncing around between FFXI, Rift and STO right now because at least in those games there is more to do than the old endgame dungeon grind(granted, Rift does end up there too, but hey, they have artifacts and invasions, so that's something different at least.

Delicious! A new and healthy way to prepare tuna (for me!). Two quick issues though - the salad makes enough for two post-run snacks, but probably appropriate for one person for lunch. Secondly, the calorie count is a little off - the salad itself (no bread) comes to about 450 cal total, and then when you add bread, count another 100-200 calories, depending on your kind of wheat bread. Just something to keep in mind!

Bad faith insurance is any matter regarding an insurance claim by an Insured that is wrongfully denied by the Insurer. An insurance policy is considered a contract between you (the Insured) and your insurance carrier (the Insurer). This contract requires that your Insurer acts in "good faith" toward you. When an Insurer unreasonably withholds the benefits of the policy from its Insured, it is considered to be in "bad faith."
Insurance attorneys know that Insurers most frequently attempt to deny claims for any reason they can. Furthermore, when an Insurer acknowledges that a claim or lawsuit is covered by the insurance policy, it most often attempts to underpay a claim. To determine whether an Insurer is acting in good faith, the Court must determine whether or not the Insurer's conduct is "reasonable." In most states, an Insurer may not put its own interest above that of an Insured.
To prove bad faith, the Insured need only to show that the Insurer failed to honor the contract and had no cause not to pay what was due.
The Insurer has a duty to deal fairly with Insureds. Every insurance contract contains an unwritten covenant or promise of good faith imposed by law upon an Insurer to always act fairly towards its Insureds in handling their claims. Insurers must always meet the reasonable expectations of the policyholder as well as give as much if not more consideration to the financial interests of its Insureds than it does to its own financial interests.

Read Poems by
Fierce Malilangwe
At night it creeps
It lurks
With evil smirks
At little girls'
Deadly cirque
Slowly it awakens
Breathing fire
Into the taken
Souls of the burning unknown
The monster inside
That slowly consumes
That slowly destroys
That slowly reminds
Of what she has started
When little girl let him in
when she let crimson
finally be seen
Tried to hide
No hope no previal
Tried to run
No breath no strength
Tried to see
No flight no light
With sharp teeth
And sharper claws
Monster grasp at
Little girl
Taking hold of
Her soul
Her mind
Her being
Her entire whole
Not daring to let go
Monster feeds
On what can never...
Little girl tries to be
Tries to free
Herself from Monster
That lives inside
Drowning in dreams
Monster let little girls see
As soon as eyes shut
To try and breathe
Cables not threads
Monster bound
To never let little girls
Run and be found
By other free souls
That monster couldn't hold
As little girls
Late at night
Stare at path finder
Comfort to seek
Monster creeps
Up from behind
Slinging ropes
Around gasping throat
Of little girls' lost hope
Little girls' screams silent
As Monster grips tighter
Little girls try to fight
But monsters might
To strong
To tight
Worth lost
Love wasted
As monster inhales
Last bit of little girls' soul
Too ugly
Too weak
Not good enough for any too keep
Pride lost
Disgrace found
Little girl?
Monster now

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To Jail!
Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to a 120 days in jail. Judge Sautner closed saying that Lindsay should have returned the necklace sooner. She also said Lindsay used her friend Patrick as a decoy to distract the store owners. Per Lindsay's sentence she will do 120 days in jail (likely to be cut way down) as well as 480 hours of community service. 360 of which will be done at a downtown woman's center and the remaining 120 at the LA county morgue. Lindsay has since appealed the decision and was then granted bail and released out the back door of Lynwood Correctional facility on $75,000 bond.

SPSU building earns gold from Brick Industry Association
SPSU building earns gold from Brick Industry Association
Marietta, Ga., (July 28, 2011) – The Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) Design Studio II, designed by the Atlanta-based architectural firm , Cooper Carry, Inc., was selected to receive a GOLD AWARD for Design Excellence, which demonstrated a creative and flexible use of brick as a construction material. The 2011 Brick in Architecture Awards given by the Brick Industry Association (BIA) honors the highest level of brick design excellence that offers high performance and sustainability, spanning all building sectors. Projects for judging were submitted from 25 states, which reflects the national reach and stature of this program.
This year's winning projects showed a growing trend toward brick as the main element in sustainable design that delivers aesthetic flexibility that matches the architect's imagination and desires," said BIA President and CEO Gregg Borchelt, P.E.
According to Mark Jensen, a principal with Cooper Carry's Science & Technology Studio, the reasons for choosing brick included its quality, long-term durability, environmental friendliness, aesthetics, low maintenance, thermal mass and design flexibility through color, texture, rhythm, human scale, pattern and repetition.
Cooper Carry designed the new 14,600 square-foot architecture studio addition which is tracking towards LEED Gold certification. The building houses SPSU's second-year architectural design studios. The architecture program at SPSU offers a five-year professional degree in architecture and is the only five-year Bachelor of Architecture program in the State of Georgia. The building site rests on a hillside that slopes down fifteen feet below the existing first-year studio building. Therefore, the roof terrace of the building rests at the first floor elevation of the existing building, creating a green roof patio and outdoor classroom shared between the two buildings.
"Most distinctive about this building's use of brick and design overall, is that the building may be utilized as a teaching device for students. This building is the newest studio at SPSU for second year architecture students. It is here that students will be able to learn the fundamentals of construction and material use," said Dr. Wilson Barnes, dean of SPSU's School of Architecture, Civil Engineering Technology and Construction.
"We are delighted that our newest addition to the campus has been singled out for its design and sustainability. We congratulate Cooper Carry and their team of architects and designers and of course the craftsmen who played an integral part in the design and installation for which this award was given," he added.

Posts Tagged 'best cat urine eliminator for carpet'
i have tried several, and want to know some other people's opinions. i have a pretty bad problem, and i have had no luck at all with the enzyme cleaners. i won't use them anymore, because they only help for a short time.
I start with sprinkling plain old baking soda on the carpet. let it set. if still smells i use a mixture of amonia, vinegar and liquid carpet cleaner. it works best if you rent one of those steam suction cleaners and add the amonia and vinegar to the cleaning solution. If you can't do that just scrub the carpet with the amonia mixture and blot up as much moisture as you can. then once it is dry then keep sprinkling baking soda and letting it set until all smell is done. if you don't use a rental steam cleaner you may have to scrub the carpet with the amonia/vinegar solution a couple of times. I have moved into places that the cats used the spare bedroom carpet as its bathroom the carpet was saturated with urine. this did the trick.

Hong Kong property shares fell the most in seven months after the government imposed a tax on overseas homebuyers to deter capital inflows and reduce the risk of a bubble in the world's most expensive housing market.
Hong Kong's government sold a site at a land auction today to Nan Fung Development Ltd. for almost a third less than surveyors' estimates as government measures to curb property speculation cool demand.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying imposed the city's first property tax targeted at overseas buyers as U.S. monetary easing and record-low interest rates boost the risk of a housing bubble.
Hong Kong's government announced its first property tax targeted at overseas buyers, stepping up efforts to cool home prices as U.S. monetary easing and record- low interest rates raise the risk of a bubble.
Sino Land Co., the Hong Kong developer controlled by billionaire Robert Ng, said full-year profit excluding revaluation gains fell 2.6 percent after it booked fewer apartment sales.
An office property in Hong Kong's Central business district sold for a record HK$25,581 ($3,300) per square foot as vacancies drop in the world's second-most expensive market, according to Knight Frank LLP and Savills Plc.
Hong Kong will stop offering residency to foreigners who buy property and unveiled a rent-to- buy program, intensifying efforts to cool home prices that have jumped almost 50 percent from 2009.

That goes without saying. But we've been extra clever at Random House of Canada, and made them even more beautiful.
We've selected 30 classic works of literature and assigned each a beautiful Pantone colour. Then we organized them in a rainbow so spectacular that you're going to want to line them up on your shelves and just look at them. That's what we've been doing since the finished books arrived at our offices.
Can't decide which colour to read first? No problem, we've got a quiz for that!

In her new Talking Reds column, Kate Cohen talks us through the important percentage numbers in football and why continuing to cut out mistakes could provide the Reds with a happy Christmas.
Following Liverpool's fantastically pragmatic start to the season, with three consecutive 1-0 wins, the Reds had only been able to keep one clean sheet - the 4-0 win against Fulham - until Sunday's triumph at Tottenham.
Goalkeeping coach John Achterberg highlighted errors as the reason for the lack of shut-outs:
"At the moment, it seems to be one defensive error from the team and then we concede a goal. So we just have to try and keep focused and remain switched on to anything to stop that happening. That will help us to get better results, because you're not always scoring four or five goals. You might need to win the game 1-0."
Despite the frustration of conceding silly goals, reoccurring errors which lead to a goal is a problem for all sides. The fantastic Ouriel Daskal deciphered a study by German sports scientist Dr Ronald Loy (titled Zufall im Fußball) which suggested that around 50 per cent of goals come as a result of an error and a large portion of goals come from pure luck.
Looking at Borussia Dortmund's attacks and goals from the 2010-11 Bundesliga season, Loy found that 36 of their 67 goals scored (53.7 per cent) came as a result of an error by the opposition. An error, whether it be an untimely slip, a misplaced pass or poor control can so often be the deciding factor in a game, or at least a momentum-shifting moment.
Some people don't like numbers and the use of analytics in football; they feel it fails to account for the human side of the game. But surely there is nothing more human than making mistakes.
Valeri Lobanovski, a man who was a pioneer in combining statistics and science with football, declared that "a team that commits errors in no more than 15 to 18 per cent of its actions is unbeatable."
Even our own Brendan Rodgers has a similar statistic which he likes to refer back to:
"The only statistic I want to know is how good we have been with the ball. In my cultural upbringing, on my travels, the statistic that interested me was if you were better than your opponent with the football you have a 79 per cent chance of winning the game."
This has been often misconstrued as a statistic about the importance of keeping the ball, especially given the possession-based game he preaches. But the idea of 'being better with the ball' is as much about making less errors, and forcing the opposition into errors through structured pressing, as it is about keeping the ball.
And if we consider that forcing a turnover is forcing an opposition into making an error, then is it any surprise that Liverpool have been better than the opposition in this regard on 13 occasions this season and have won 10 matches?
Rodgers described the losses to Southampton and Hull as wake-up calls, proof that any drop from the lofty standards set could be fatal to a season of hard work. Looking at the image below, the goals conceded against Southampton and Hull all had an element of error and bad luck.
1) A poor control which led to the corner 2) a misjudgement which led to a turnover 3) miscommunication which led to a scramble 4) a turnover in the final third, as well as an element of bad fortune
Whilst deciding what is and isn't an error is highly subjective, it is clear that defensive lapses have occasionally prevented Simon Mignolet from adding to his five Premier League clean sheets.
With the busy festive period well underway, Liverpool now have four games in 11 days. Two of the four games are against teams in direct competition with Liverpool, and with the Reds just two points from the summit of the table, let's hope Mignolet can collect a few more.

ground black pepper
4 teaspoons
Worcestershire sauce

My husband and I loved these burgers. They were so moist. I didn't have condensed milk so I just used regular and it was fine. Also I added 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. I was really suprised at how good they were.
While this recipe was very good, it was much closer to meat loaf than to hamburgers.

So easy to make and so moist. Made hamburger sandwiches out of leftovers, with just mustard and dill pickle slices. Awesome.....
These were delicious and very easy to make. I made a sauce out of equal parts barbecue sauce and ketchup, and both my hubby and I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious alternative to the typical fried burger. I doubled the sauce ingredients, 'cause we like lots of sauce, and eliminated the sugar. Served with rice, it's great!
Too much like a bland meatloaf for us. Will stick with plain ole burgers with the works.
Absolutely AWESOME!!! I didn't have evaporated milk so used buttermilk and it turned out wonderfully!!! I am pregnant (and have a toddler and husband to feed) and constantly looking for quick, easy, yummy recipes to please my whole family. This will definitely be added to our rotation!!! My toddler loves it!!! Even my picky husband liked it!!!
My family doesn't like additives to burgers, so I just fried quality meat and added the sauce. I also thought the sauce was a bit too ketchup-y, so I added at least twice the worchestershire sauce and about a tablespoon of brown sugar. One more thing--in any recipe, don't skimp on the worchestershire sauce. I always use something like Lea & Perrins. It does make a difference.

Thelma was born in Monrovia, CA, the fifth (5th) child of eleven children born to Frank and Mary Adams. Thelma graduated from Monrovia High School after World War II had began, much like many women she worked for the War effort.
She worked at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.
In 1943 Frank and Mary Adams moved their family to Riverside and settled in Belltown. Thelma moved to Riverside in 1944. She worked then at Norton Air Force Base. When the War ended, she attended a private school, and then changed to Riverside City College where she worked as a library assistant and received her AA Degree. She worked at the college library until 1950. During that period 1946 – 1948, Thelma belonged to the Riverside Playhouse where she appeared in several stage productions.
In 1942 until 1946 Thelma was a USO hostess and visited many Air Force and Naval bases.
She was hired by the government and worked as a Library Assistant for the Naval Ordinance Station in Inyokern, CA, There she met and married Charles R. King. Their marriage lasted 51 years until his death in April of 2006.
Later the Federal Government changed the name to Department of Defense.
Thelma and Charles returned to Riverside in 1978 to take care of her parents. She had been a member of the African Methodist Church all her life and upon returning to Riverside, she and her husband joined Allen Chapel AME Church where she is still a member.
In 1959 Thelma and Charles and several other family members purchased the first Go-Kart that catapulted Adams Kart Track to the level of karting that Adams Track is known for today.
Adams Kart Track, now known as Adams Motorsports Park, will be celebrating 50 years of karting in January 2010. Thelma as the senior (matriarch) member of the family sits as an advisor on the Celebration committee. They are planning a banquet to be held at the Marriott Hotel, Riverside, on Thursday, January 28, 2010.

Lunch Pail Envy
When I was still in the states and changing oil for a living; all of the guys I used to work with got so envious of my lunches after a while that they started paying me to bring lunch for everyone. Then when I moved to Italy and started teaching English my colleagues would always barge into my classroom at lunchtime to see what I'd brought that day. Apparently anything more than a sandwich and a soda is a big deal. And forget the holidays...
Anyone ever hound you for your lunch? I know Dhorst brings cakes and pies to her colleagues. Do you take pride in spoiling the crap out of your co-workers? Do you do your best to make the most out of your lunch break even if it makes your office green with envy?

Mark Polino wants to know why the ubiquitous Coke machine down the hall from every hotel room doesn't take room keys.
With all the technology and information packed into a hotel room key, it's not particularly difficult to imagine how this would work. Hotels have done almost nothing with this ability. Once they see how they can personalize and customize the visitor experience, there are countless ways both sides can profit.
Where does it come from? What is it?
Well, if you're disheartened by my previous post about licensing your idea, here's the punchline: Real business creativity comes from boundaries.
Inventing something cool that can't be implemented isn't creative. It's mostly a waste.
I think that inventing the unimplementable is a fine hobby, but it's also a bit of a crutch. Yes, of course we need big visions and big ideas, but not at the expense of the stuff you can actually pull off.
So, let's get specific:
If you've decided you want to create a breakthrough in your area of expertise (say Ajax coding), then either be prepared to launch and run it when you're done, or have a clear licensing strategy in mind, one where you're not the first person in history to pull it off.
If you've decided to invent a great idea for a book, better be ready to write it too, and either find a publisher or publish it yourself. There's no market for book ideas.
If you want to do creative ads, it helps to have clients willing to run them.
These constraints are the best part of being creative, as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't imagine writing Superman comics. The rules are too vague. There are too many choices. In non-profits and organizations and even in politics, the rules are pretty obvious (sometimes they're too obvious). So the real creativity comes in navigating those rules in a way that creates a breakthrough.
One of my favorite triumphs of all time happened on my first day of work at my first real job, 1984, Cambridge, MA. No voice mail in those days. I was employee #30. I walked in and there was a plastic carousel, about 18 inches in diameter, with 40 slots in it. Like thin slices of pizza, but 4 inches deep. Each slot had a sticker with a name typed on it. Not in any order, particularly.
Every day, when you went into work, you had to spin the carousel around and around until you saw your name, and then grab whatever pink slips had your phone messages on them.
Now, there are 100 better ways to do this system. Faster and easier. But 99 of them required getting a new carousel or device.
Instead, I grabbed a paper clip and put it on my slot. I could find my slot in a heartbeat now.
Within a day, the carousel was covered with flags and widgets and more. Problem solved.
See the rules. Keep most of them. Break one or two. But break them, don't bend them. (thanks to Curt for various inspirations).
A. Well, it depends.
It's a classic story: basement inventor dreams up an idea, a product, a concept for a movie or even a new slogan for a company. He's sure, certain, positive, that the idea, in the right hands, has huge legs. And it's the idea that matters, right?
"This fishing lure is dramatically better than what's out there."
"This swoosh logo is really dramatic."
"This promotion for a bar in town will make them a huge amount of money."
"If I could just get Mark Burnett to listen to this idea for a Survivor sequel..."
And most of the time, you're right. Your better UI/software/concept would make more money in the right hands.
This disconnect drives people, especially engineers, crazy. The processes of improvement and ideation demand that you take things that aren't so good and make them better. If someone has go to market power or even better, sales and influence power, then why wouldn't they want to improve?
The problem is this: 99% of the time, they don't.
It's not that they're stupid. It's just that they're not organized to turn your big idea into something that actually works.
They don't have someone on staff who will get promoted for finding you.
They don't have a team on staff who can develop your idea and get it out the door.
There are exceptions (book publishers, for example, are good at publishing new books). But most of the time, that's not the business they are in. They are in the business of doing their job, and their job rarely includes taking the time (and the risk) of hunting for new big ideas outside the organization.
First, there's the huge problem of NDAs and being accused of stealing stuff. If you want me to keep something a secret, and you won't tell me the secret before I sign a piece of paper, my risk is huge. On the other hand, if you tell me an idea (almost always non-protected) before I sign the paper, why sign it? Big paradox.
Second, there's the problem of what it's worth. What is the basic idea behind Star Trek or Mission: Impossible worth? Would a different two-paragraph treatment really have made the difference between success or failure? The producers of those shows would tell you it was the 10,000 little things that happened after the original idea that made the difference between success and failure.
In other words, it's how you tell it.
If you think your idea is worth a lot, and the producer of the product (whether it's a widget or a business process) points out how many choices she has and how little the original idea is worth--you guys are stuck.
True story: I helped invent the first fax board for the Mac. Pitched it to a dozen companies. No one nibbled. Apple launched it soon after seeing ours, and the product quickly became a low-profit commodity. I'm confident that if we had created a substantial organization and built a marketing aura and system around the product, it would have worked. The idea itself... nah.
Just because you're a good cook doesn't mean you should run a restaurant. And a restaurant that succeeds rarely does because they have special recipes. All the recipes in the world are free online. That's not what makes a restaurant (or a business, for that matter) work.
Peter Zapf sends us this remarkable product: Brammo Motorsports - Ariel Motor Company for USA. The edge? Once you decide to remove every single unnecessary element of a car, you can create something that's not for everyone... but exactly what some people dream about.
This phone booth sign so clearly captures the new divide between old and new marketers that I couldn't resist.
Delta, an airline teetering a knife's edge from insolvency, just added service to Hungary. So, naturally, they need to alert people and get them to fly there.
"I know!" says the old-school marketer. "Lets copy the format of Continental's wordplay ads and buy thousands of dollars worth of ads. Maybe we'll run into someone about to fly to Hungary who doesn't have a travel agent or use an online travel service--we'll get them at just the right moment and make a fortune."
Why not spend the money on the plane?
Why not change the service itself, change it in some way that the community of travelers to Budapest will talk among themselves about how Delta is the very best way to fly there. Maybe even the bloggers and the travel editors will talk about it too.
Just because this ad is purple doesn't mean it's a Purple Cow. It's precisely the opposite, in fact. PS, what does "fly to pest" mean? [answer: Espen points out that 'Pest' is the city across the river from Buda, sort of like St. Paul is to Minneapolis. Thanks. But why put the cities in lowercase?]
The first picture is of the conference room schedule at the Venetian Hotel. Microsoft booked a whole bunch of breakout rooms, so of course, someone followed policy and entered them all into the computer. This creates many many screens showing the same thing again and again. The person who typed in the list was following instructions. Missing was any judgment, anyone saying, "Why don't we either put a different description for each breakout, or not bother listing them at all?"
The second picture is of a sign at JFK. It's right next to the one and only electrical outlet. Apparently, people plug in their laptops and lean against the phone booth to use them.
Instead of going to all the trouble to make a permanent metal sign ("do not sit on ledge"), why didn't someone put a chair there? Or requisition some more electrical outlets? Or build a stronger ledge? By "solving" the problem by telling people not to do the convenient thing, they haven't helped the airport or the traveler. Of course, that's not the signmaker's problem. Someone is asssigning tasks instead of solving problems.

He tapped a clearly unqualified Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running-mate, and now can't seem to walk back from that disastrous decision … he veered so far to the right during his re-election campaign, few recognize him anymore … he's increasingly incoherent on everything from climate change (he now doubts it) to immigration reform (he now opposes his own bill) to Don't Ask Don't Tell, even breaking from his best friends in the Senate (or is that his only friends) Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman, and now, John McCain blows of a 9/11 hero. Is it time to start questioning the Senator's mental health?
The latest episode, as chronicled by the New York Daily News, which added the above, colorful headline:
WASHINGTON – Tow truck driver T.J. Gilmartin, who hauled ruined FDNY vehicles away from Ground Zero and now suffers from breathing problems, headed to Washington this week to lobby for the $7.4 billion James Zadroga 9/11 health bill.
The 50-year-old Brooklyn native came down with a display of 29 badges of cops who've died from 9/11-related illnesses. With 30% of his lung capacity gone, he was huffing and puffing as he trekked across Capitol Hill in hopes of swaying a host of GOP senators, John McCain among them. It didn't go well.
According to the NYDN, Gilmartin was able to meet with a few Senators, including Alabama Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions, and while they didn't agree with him, "they were gentlemen." And then, Gilmartin approached McCain…
"I couldn't get to see McCain at all. I went to his office four times, and it was all like 'you need an appointment.'
"They gave me an email address of some guy.
"I thought I could talk to him. I mean, he's a real hero, not like us. We're just little half heroes.
"Our country took care of him when he came back. He was a POW. I respect that.
"I wasn't stalking him or anything, but then I saw him in a hallway going to an elevator near the rotunda.
"It was a floor up from where they have the badges.
"I stepped in front of him, and I was very respectful. I told him who I was and I asked for his help on the Zadroga bill.
"It lasted maybe 10 or 15 seconds.
"He said 'Thank you for your service.'
"And 'I can't help you.'
"Then, bang, he stepped around me and onto the elevator.
"If his eyes were daggers, I'd be dead. They'd all be in my heart.
"John McCain was pathetic. I would have thought more of him. …
(Apparently, Scott Brown blew Gilmartin off, too, but it was the encounter with McCain that left a lasting impression. Per ThinkProgress:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has indicated that, this coming week, he will bring a 9/11 first responders bill up for a vote. The bill, which has been passed by the House, would provide $7.4 billion in medical treatment and lost wages for workers who weresickened and injured by their service at Ground Zero.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's (D-NY) office indicated that the chances for invoking cloture (ie, getting 60 votes to overcome a filibuster) hinge on getting more Republican support. "We still need one more Republican to come on board," said a Gillibrand spokesman.
Clearly, McCain will not be that one more Senator. But his attitude toward Gilmartin, and his deteriorating mood almost on every issue, is starting to make McCain look a bit unhinged. He's clearly angry and disappointed at not becoming president, first because he was stymied by George W. Bush, and then being beaten by a junior Senator from Illinois. But jeez, McCain, what gives?
The deterioration started during the 2008 campaign, and continued through the recent election, to the point that he disowned ever having called himself a "maverick." And there have been several in depth pieces written questioning whether the McCain most of us thought we knew was really a fiction created by a credulous media. McCain has always had a reputation for getting nasty — hell, his Naval Academy nickname was "McNasty." But over the last couple of years, he has gone from prickly to nasty to downright erratic.
And he's got six more years in the Senate, during which time he could theoretically continue to serve even if he's literally babbling on the Senate floor. There is, after all, no rule that I know of against Senatorial incoherence. But the people of Arizona — who already have a governor who appears to be increasingly sadistic and insane – they have one Senator, John Kyl, who's willing to blind the U.S. to the Russian nuclear arsenal, and another, John McCain, who's going off the deep end.
Maybe I should have titled this post "what's the matter with Arizona?"…

Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers said German Gen. Harald Kujat, the chairman of NATO's Military Committee, has helped ensure NATO changed with the times. The Legion of Merit, Degree of Commander, is the highest decoration U.S. officials award to foreign military members, personnel officials said.
Myers said that when Kujat took over as chairman of the Military Committee, NATO's highest military authority, in July 2002, many pundits questioned whether NATO was relevant in the new threat environment.
"If you think about where NATO was and where NATO is today, the change has been absolutely dramatic," Myers said. "In many cases, it probably ensured that NATO survived as a military alliance. It was a big question. I think NATO answered that question, and a lot of the credit goes to Harald Kujat."
Kujat pushed for a viable alliance and a robust transatlantic link, Myers said. He helped persuade member nations to update their capabilities and accept new missions.
"He pushes, and sometimes it's pushing uphill," Myers said. "It's getting the reluctant and recalcitrant to go along with what's good for the alliance and the transatlantic alliance. We could not have had a better leader. The leadership that Harald has brought to the job has been truly remarkable."
During Kujat's tenure, which ends in June, NATO took on a major role in Afghanistan and is working to grow that mission, Myers said. NATO personnel are involved with training Iraqi security forces both in Iraq and in other countries. The NATO Response Force took shape and achieved its operating capability. "Like all things in NATO, (taking on these new missions) requires a lot of energy, and Harald has been a dynamo," Myers said.
The citation for the award praised Kujat's leadership of the 26-member Military Committee. "General Kujat guided the Military Committee and the entire NATO military establishment along the path of transformation critical to success in addressing future challenges," the citation read in part.
Kujat said he was surprised, "honored and moved" by the award. The German four-star entered the service in 1959. He said that during his career NATO was always important, but "not only the alliance but specifically the transatlantic link was always my No. 1 item on the agenda. I think this is very important ever more for the future than in the past."
Kujat is in Washington for talks with U.S. military officials.

You Can't Create Successful Fitness Pros
Fitness Pros That Don't Invest. By Pat Rigsby
The most amazing paradox I have experienced is this: The fitness pros who need help the most wont pay the price!
I read Alwyn's recent post titled "Sandwiches or System Design?" – he made reference to some jackasses who actually had the audacity to complain that Ryan Lee had added an extra FREE session at this year's Bootcamp. I've had similar experiences when I've given out FREE things – people actually complained about the FREE stuff.
When I started doing our newsletter and created a couple of inexpensive products like Fitness Riches, I thought that we would primarily be helping those fitness pros who were struggling. I thought that by delivering free or inexpensive tools and advice we could help those that we thought needed it most.
As the orders rolled in, I was astounded. I couldn't have been more wrong. I had predicted that the strugglers would subscribe or buy. It was amazing to see that exactly the opposite had occurred. More often than not -it was those who were in fact doing well who had subscribed or purchased.
What does this say about those who were doing well? There is probably a reason behind their success-the same reason that is behind the failure of the others, people who ultimately succeed in life are those who recognize early on that success is a state of mind and has nothing to do with their current level of financial assets. Success comes in direct proportion to a person's ability to recognize this, and his or her willingness to pay the price.
I learned then that you cannot create successful Fitness Pros, you can only take successful and help them become more successful.
Everything you have read on this blog, in our newsletter or in our products will not work for you unless you already have what it takes. You may not have external signs of success or wealth yet, but these resources and others will help you get there a lot more quickly. Any Fitness Pros who takes the time to read this and invest in our products in the first place most likely has this spark, so hopefully that says a lot about you.
