Since the launch of OS X Mavericks last week, many users have been reporting widespread, various, consistent issues within Apple's bundled Mail application.
Many of the issues have mainly affected users of Google's Gmail email service, and some of the issues have to do with receiving messages, sorting messages into folders, and deleting messages.
Apple is aware of the issue and is testing a fix for the problem…
An updated Mail application has been seeded to both Apple employees internally and testers within Apple's customer AppleSeed program.
The updated Mail app is Version 7.0 and is labeled as build 1822. The OS X Mavericks 10.9.0 Mail app, for comparison, is Version 7.0 with build number 1816.
Apple tells testers that the update fixes issues with Gmail, smart mailboxes, and overall stability. Apple also asks these users to test for the following:
– Use Mail with your usual Mail accounts, including iCloud, Gmail, Exchange, etc.
– Send Mail messages
– Receive and check for new Mail messages at the intervals you expect it
– Read and move Mail messages to folders on your mail server, folders on your Mac, smart folders.
– Delete Mail messages as appropriate
– Undo move or delete actions with your Mail messages
– Mark messages read/unread in both your mail provider's webpage and Mail and verify they stay in sync.
The updated Mail application is available as a patch download, not as a full update to OS X Mavericks. Sources say that OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 is already well into development, but it is unclear if these Mail fixes will be available as a standalone update or rolled into that upcoming OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 release. Apple asks testers to provide feedback through a dedicated communication channel, and the company refers to this update as "important."

they could fix the wi-fi issues and slow browsing too… i feel like i went back to windows… so NOT happy
OK, ok… but where Apple hide Tags in Mail. Hy?
Good to hear about OSX 10.9.1. Any word on the development of iOS 7.1?
What I want is the ability to edit my SMTP settings again! And ports!
You can do it right now also. Don't click "Mail" -> "Accounts…", click "Mail" -> "Preferences" -> "Accounts" (there you can set everything you want).
I had reported this bug to Apple weeks ago while testing 10.9 betas. I am surprised it has taken so long to fix.
Apple Mail 7.0 has dropped the option to save sent mail locally. If you don't save sent mail and drafts on iCloud, it disappears. Storing email on iCloud should be an option, not a requirement.
Forcing me to save sent mail in the cloud (Apple or GMail) rather than locally is a reason to change mail client! – The cloud is quite a bit worse than my HD …
until your HD dies, that is
ohh… so the existence of the cloud makes backups impossible? Time machine and a backup protocol make using the cloud a ridiculous waste of time, at least for email records. The lack of general cloud security is also a great reason to avoid allowing business, legal or personal email information to be stored there. At any moment, Apple can decide to 'break in" to put a U2 album in my cloud space. Obviously, the space is NOT secure.
As has been found countless times, anything left on an email account (cloud, gmail, whatever) for 6 months or more is considered legally searchable without any sort of judicial review, so it is a fool who uses the cloud to 'store' email of any import. Scenario: assume you have nothing in your email account but your legal business correspondence. Your account can be subject to search simply because your user name is similar to that of some completely unrelated user reported to be in contact with a 'person of interest' in an investigation. Your account is searched, all data copied and archived. At this point, it is available to every legal entity related to the government, as well as low level employees of government contractors, including many of the same contractors famous for sifting through the records at their disposal for potential money scams, 'interesting' pictures, possible girlfriends, and other data that might be useable as future blackmail (to shut you up if you take a political stance against some policy or other).
This would all sound like conspiracy theory, of course, except that every single one of these examples has happened, again and again, and not just to reporters, whistleblowers and political activists (although those are the cases that get the most press), but also to ordinary folks who happened to share part of an address, a user name, or whose email happened to share the same system as the completely unrelated person who was being watched.
There is a a growing push to make all electronic communication open to search and filter, and the increasing dependence on "cloud" technology is part of it. The cloud is great for accessing music files, or even non-secure work files. It can allow one to work on a paper, book, or program from many different places without carrying around a hard drive. But it is a proven choice for email storage, or the storage of anything containing personal, financial, private, legal or sensitive information. And it is absolutely not a replacement for hard data backup (e.g. time machine).
iOS 7 mail has been a real disappointment. takes forever to get my email from gmail now. it used to be instant with push notification.
how does one get this patch?
I just migrated from a 2008 MBP to a brand new MBPr running Mavericks, and Mail won't even open. The first time, it gave me a welcome box like I had never used Mail before. I restarted and now it's always "Application Not Responding." Will this fix fix this?
my mail application opens.. i can receive mail.. but no window to view it opens… I can change account settings, but no others settings come up. If i search for mail in spotlight, I can see a preview of new mail, but when I click on it, it won't open in mail.. very frustrating!
I seem to recall this happening when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion with a clean install. Just click through the welcome messages and you should see your messages afterwards. Try traditional methods to get past the application quitting (delete preference files for Mail, restart your computer, etc.)
Maybe they could put in a fix to the mark as read delay that actually works. Or how about fixing the font size change when emails are read in Outlook? Or give me the ability to include the original header in my reply. Or just stop breaking true preview with every release.
+1 this is really needed
"put in a fix to the mark as read delay that actually works"
I still hope that they build in an option to separate attachments from de message body.
Here's a step-by-step work around to fix it for Gmail accounts until the update is released:
Either this or just move to a different email client like Airmail which I'm impressed! it works really good and have a nice UI with advanced settings available too. You should check it out!
Poor quality"upgrade". My immediate issue is that I can't scroll down my MacBook's email 'inboxes', so any inboxes below the line are inaccessible…Amy suggestions??
I'm testing this fix (MAIL Version 7.0 (1822)) and messages moved from GMAIL INBOX to either a local folder or a GMAIL IMAP folder does get removed from the INBOX as it did prior to Mavericks.
Mail sorts messages into my mailboxes just fine and tell me how many messages I have to view in each BUT only the mailboxes higher up the list actually count down as I read the messages. From about the middle of the list the number of messages stays the same even when I've read them all. I have to close Mail and reopen it to remove the 'unread messages' indicator. I am so fed up with this I have moved to Thunderbird which is clunky by comparison but nevertheless works perfectly and has some great additional features. It's taken me an age to set up my mailboxes again and so if the 'new' Mail isn't a vast improvement on the one I've been using for the past few years I may not bother moving back.
Is there any way to just go back to using Google, a client which I have use for maybe 10 years and have been completely happy with it. I really resent being forced into using program which is no good, inferior. Plle is getting too autocratic, and needs to be taken down a peg or two.
I downloaded Mavericks X10.9 about 7 days ago. I have been using Gmail without any issues over two separate accounts. In fact, the Mavericks OS has been more reliable than my original Lion OS concerning Gmail.
Since the last update to 10.9.1 Mail is not working with Gmail at all
I have Google Apps managing my personal domain (so it's essentially Gmail). When I bring my MBP out of suspend, the only ways I can convince Mail to show messages that arrived since I was last online is to either (a) move or delete an existing message, or (b) close down and reopen Mail. I have the latest Mavericks update.
any word on when the update is coming. Super annoying, because my work email is through gmail. Needless to say, it's not efficient to have missed emails, or emails that come in days later. Come on Apple. I'm your biggest fan, but this is not cool. I need for you and google to play nice. LOL!!!!

Recipe by nataleezfoodz
"Tropiguac is my spin on guacamole. Its zesty, tropical flavor is a great appetizer to serve on a hot day. Cucumber is optional, but it's an extra zero calorie vegetable that makes the guacamole taste cool and refreshing -- and it also makes for more servings without adding cost!"

cucumber, diced
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

This was fantastic! I added a tad bit of cayenne for a little kick. I only made 1/2 the recipe to try it out. Didn't need all the lime juice. Only used 1/2 of 1 lime. Will add more pineapple next time. My 11 year old daughters loved this. Will make it again and again.
I made this for SuperBowl just because I had avocado and Pineapple in the house and nothing to do with them. This was a surprise hit. Everyone just loved this recipe. thank you so much for posting.

I made this exactly as written and think it's very good, but suspect that it will be better as a relish than a dip. I'm going to try the leftovers on fish tacos.
Has anyone made this the day before except for adding the avocados? Just wondering if I can do that and add the avocados before serving.

Building Science Experts' Session is a two-day seminar that focuses on advanced building science topics. This session is intended to provide thought provoking professional development for experienced building industry professionals who are interested in healthy, durable and energy efficient new and old buildings.
Day One: "Rain Control" by Dr. John Straube
Keeping rain out of buildings has been the preoccupation of architects, engineers, builders, contractors and owners for hundreds of years. You would think we would have it figured out by now? Well, actually, we pretty much do. We just don't teach it or use it. Rain control explained as only John Straube can explain it. From the perspective of an individual rain drop itself to a hundred story curtainwall and everything else in between. Does rain really fall horizontally? How big a raindrop, what is its shape and how fast does it fall? Why pressure equalized rain screens are so misunderstood, and usually useless? Do you really think that stucco keeps water out of buildings? The phobia of hydrophobic coatings and the practical issues of lapping peel and sticks and a bunch of time on installing windows so that they leak, but leak to the outside. More, much more - and the informal session at Lstiburek's house in the evening where you get to ask Straube what he really thinks while you drink Lstiburek's beer. It doesn't get better than this.
Day Two: "Low Energy Houses" by Dr. Joseph Lstiburek
Joseph Lstiburek has seen it all - been there, done it badly before everyone else, figured it out, got the tee-shirt and now sits back sometimes sad, but mostly bemused at much of the craziness surrounding low energy houses. He did it all - earth tubes, insulated shutters, thermal mass, trombe walls, super insulation and triple glazed windows. Yes, dumb, well most of it was dumb. Get ready for a history of low energy houses - not the politically correct version - but the version from one who actually lived it. Why double walls are a dumb idea? Why Passive House is lunacy - or maybe not? Did you know that R-2000 really started in Denver? How do you build a low energy house in the North? How do you build a low energy house in the South? What are the winning technologies? What are the loosing technologies? Do you really think mini-splits are the answer? Have you any idea of the problems you get from using instantaneous gas water heaters? Did we mention the informal session at Lstiburek's house in the evening where Lstiburek complains about Straube drinking his beer while explaining rain?
December 5-6 Westford, MA
The registration fee for this seminar is
The fee includes lunch but does not include travel or accommodations.
Continuing education credits for this course are pending.

I have been teaching for 17 years, and have loved every minute of it! Most of my years of teaching have been in 6th grade, but I have taught all levels of learners, SDC, RSP, at-risk, regular education, and gifted and talented. I currently teach a 5th/6th grade GATE blend and just love it! Challenging students to think deeply is my passion!
I taught with project based learning before it was the new buzzword! I love coming up with creative projects that challenge my learners, and promote deeper learning. All of my units are common core aligned for grades 4 thru 8, and all promote problem solving, critical thinking, and cooperation.

~ Fred Underwood - President of Underwood Solar Future LLC
Dear Pam and Rick, I want to thank you for all of your help in getting me started in my new business venture.
From the logo design on my letter head, to the design that my employees wear on their high quality shirts. You have proven to me that you are my company of choice for all my company apparel. You made for me in a few hours a banner that proved to be the eye catcher at our first trade show.
For all your attention to detail and creative thinking I like to just say thank you.
~ Lori Kern
Richard designed decals for me that turned out to be awesome. I just can not say enough about them. But to continue I also do the apparel for my daughter's AAA girls hockey team, Team Pittsburgh. We have 6 teams and they separated the orders and had them ready by team within 2 weeks time. They are very conscientious about their work which allows for very little if any error. Other places I have used previously always made errors causing delays in the work and then to the customer.

The state's 45 college presidents have compiled a bulging $5.9 billion wish list in the hope that lawmakers and taxpayers agree to invest in a long-sought expansion and upgrading of New Jersey's public and private schools.
The list of 300 projects obtained byThe Star-Ledger was provided to legislative leaders and Christie administration officials as they consider asking voters to approve the first bond issue for higher education in more than two decades.
Projects on the wish list range from the modest to the more grandiose, and include a $1.5 billion request from Rutgers, with $51 million intended for a new food and health institute in New Brunswick, and $1 billion in requests from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, with $263 million eyed for a health sciences center and upgrades to its power plant in Newark.
And there are requests bound to raise the eyebrows of lawmakers and taxpayers alike, like the $214 million sought by Princeton University, one of the nation's elite institutions that has an endowment of more than $17 billion.

Lindsey Vonn is back on top of the overall FIS World Cup downhill standings, 47 points clear of her closest friend and rival Maria Riesch.
The 25-year-old alpine queen followed up her victory in Friday's super-combined events in Val d'Isère, France with a third-place finish in Sunday's Super G, and that was enough to see her leapfrog Riesch, who finished in 21st place.
Vonn, who has picked up 518 points to date this season, said: "It's not looking too bad. It doesn't really matter at this point; we still have a lot of races left, but I'm happy to have taken some points for the super-G standings."
But the double world champion, who was denied the chance to claim a hat-trick of wins on the Oreiller-Killy course by adverse wind conditions on Saturday, was disappointed not to have gotten the better of Swiss duo Franzi Aufdenblatten and Nadia Styge in the Super G.
"It was not my best race," she reflected. "I was a little bit disappointed with my run today. I thought I didn't execute very well in the top part of the course. I missed the timing on one gate and I feel like I lost the rhythm for the rest of the top. I wasn't as aggressive as I should have been, but I picked it up on the bottom. All in all I'm happy with the day.
"Maybe it was a mistake to take the longer skis because the terrain made it really tight. I did not ski well enough but every race is important for the overall standings. I did my best."
Vonn was 0.26 seconds off the pace as Aufdenblatten claimed a surprise maiden World Cup win in a time of 1 minute, 26.43 seconds.
The 28-year-old, who was 0.23 seconds faster than compatriot Styge, reflected: "It was the ultimate goal of my career. I really wanted to be the fastest one day. It's a perfect day. I couldn't dream of something better."

1. Lindsey Vonn USA 581 points

Full detailed profile on Adam Munson Played by Matthew J. Morrison on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Matthew J. Morrison
Birthday: 1978-10-30
Adam buys breakfast for Alison and thanks her for bringing Maddie back. He admits that he doesn't trust the hope he feels and he feels bad about the problems this has caused with Casey. She's sure that his brother will come around. They chat and he tells her how lucky Casey is to have her. She hopes they can get things back on track.
Adam meets his parents outside of the hearing and Tom tells him there's a good chance he'll be sleeping at home tonight. They wait for Maddie but she doesn't show up. Tom asks for a recess. Adam has an idea about why she didn't show up and hurries off.
Adam rushes home and confronts his brother. "What do you want from me?" Adam asks. Casey wants him out of his life once and for all. Adam agrees to leave, but they continue angrily arguing about the past. "I never knew I hurt you so much, "Adam admits. He wishes he could take it back, but he can't.
Casey runs into Maddie in the street and tells her that he needs her to testify after all. She says she'll feel better if she tells the truth and gives him a hug. She rushes off to the hearing, warning him that Alison is inside and angry. He goes in to see his girlfriend, who tears into him but he says that he's fixed everything. "I guess I owe you an apology then," she says. "This is the right thing for everyone," he claims.
At the hearing, Maddie takes the stand and tells the story of burying Adam after she thought she'd killed him. After her testimony, Tom makes the case for leniency and asks that the charges be dropped. The judge dismisses the case. Margo hugs her son. He tells her how much her love means to him and then turns to Tom, telling him how good it feels to call him 'dad' again.
Casey goes home and finds his brother writing a goodbye note. Adam hopes that someday he'll want him back in his life. He walks out.
Margo is with Adam at the station. She tries to look for excuses for his behavior. "I just wasn't myself," he says, frustrated. She needs more of an explanation. When she leaves him alone, Ali and Maddie come in. When she shows Maddie in, Adam instantly tells her that she shouldn't have come. She asks to speak to him alone. "I almost feel like I'm not seeing you. You look and sound so different," she tells him as they are left alone. He says he is the same man she buried and left for dead. She tries apologizing but he's the one who is sorry. He can't make up for what he did, but he's sure he'll be getting what is coming to him. She's glad he's taking responsibility but she's trying to do the same. Maddie has been in therapy and is sure that she and Gwen damaged the real him and made him malicious. She is willing to testify to that in court.
Tom and Casey arrive at the station. Margo is about to tell them about Adam's visitor when Casey notices Maggie through the window and rushes into the room. Before he can lose it, Maddie calms him, telling him that she wants to be there. She asks for another minute alone with Adam. Casey reluctantly leaves with everyone else. Maddie reminds Adam about the pact he made with Will and Casey. He knows he went back on his promise by coming back to town but he had to make amends. He worries that she could get in trouble by bringing all of this out in the open but she is sure it's not as bad as he thinks. After Maddie leaves, Tom and Margo question Adam. He's reluctant to say anything, but tells them he'll be changing his plea to not guilty. Tom leaves, promptly gets a deal for Adam and returns, telling him he can go home. Margo hugs her son and Tom shakes his hand.
Maddie and Casey sit together outside. After an awkward 'hello', she tells him that this is really something she wants to do. She wants to testify for Adam to make things right. Casey thinks this is insane and assumes his parents put her up to this. "Your parents didn't call her Casey, I did," Alison says as she walks over. He rants at her. Alison is just trying to fix things. "You're making it worse," he tells her. Casey is sure that Adam is just manipulating everyone. When Adam appears, Casey runs off. Maddie chases after him. "I really hope what you've done is worth it," Adam tells Alison. She'll never get passed all of the lies he told, but he stood up for her with everything that happened at the hospital. He hopes that what he's done hasn't ruined her relationship with his brother.
Margo visits a handcuffed Adam in the police holding room. She admits that Casey and Tom are still having difficulty dealing with him. Adam asserts he is pleading guilty to all charges! Margo protests, but he wants to make amends for what he has done. Margo yells that if he won't fight for himself, she will!

Spinning yarn and yarns for more than 20 years
On the second Sunday, most every month, a few cars make the long trek down our gravel driveway at 2:30 in the afternoon. Most pull up near the sycamore tree at the far end of the circle drive, though a few venture on down the "unofficial" lane to get closer to the building. This has been happening monthly for over two decades, though no one can remember exactly how many years it is.
The women park their vehicles and open hatchbacks and passenger doors to reveal spinning wheels strapped in as carefully as offspring. These are not the fairy tale prick-your-finger kind-of wheels but modern "spin lots of yarn you'll have no idea what to do with" wheels -- beautiful, efficient, and most of them easily portable. Spinning fibers into yarn is a rhythmic, tactile hobby that usually creates a peaceful state of mind. It is satisfying to do alone, but more fun with these women.
Most months you'll find me, two Maries, Asa, Rose, Elaina, two Lauras and Leslie. Though she now lives in Maine, Penelope is still a part of us and keeps up via email and Facebook (we are a group there). Sheila is a member from way back who sometimes makes it over from Raleigh.
Our daughter says she can spot a spinner a mile away. The hand-knitted wool socks are a tip-off (typically worn with funky sandals and a long skirt). Most spinners wear something wooly, often paired with an item of denim. We tend not to use much make-up and our shoes are usually sensible (Birkenstocks or boots).
At our last meeting Leslie gave a short presentation about felting (another product made with wool) and brought items from her trip to upper Mongolia. We shared various adventures we'd had hauling trailers. Someone said that her husband always asks what we talk about and another woman opined that's because our partners think we talk about them. We don't.
We were young women when we started this gathering. Our kids were little, and now some of us are grandmothers. As a group we've been more and less active over the years. Early on we named ourselves the "Hotwheels Handspinners Guild," and we have a wool banner that says so. We've done spinning demonstrations and even sheep-to-shawl events -- at which we sheared a sheep and then spun and wove the wool on the spot. We've had beach retreats, a couple of field trips, and each year we sponsor a spinning prize at the NC State Fair. We even had fairly elaborate newsletters in the past, but these days we mostly just show up and spin.
It is hard to say what makes it so enjoyable. We bring a few things to eat, but nothing fancy. We ooh-and-ah over each others' projects and catch up on each others' lives, but we're never too intense or personal. We help each other adjust our wheels and solve pattern problems. We occasionally have a program or take on a topic, like plying. Sometimes we conduct a little business. Next month some of us are bringing hats we are knitting from the same pattern, but made unique by our own handspun yarn.
The shape of our year is pretty predictable -- sometimes a spring event, fewer meetings in the summer, a fall "get back together" assembly, a holiday party with a raucous gift-grabbing experience, and a February Fiber-Swap to which we each try to drag a new person. Other members do come and go, but this core has held the group together for all these years.
Most of the time we just come together and spin our yarns -- both the fiber and verbal versions. For me, showing up with this group is like putting on my favorite pajamas and curling up on the sofa. It is like a cup of chamomile tea, and being with family without the baggage. I am always comfortable and pleased to be right there, and a new week always starts better when it follows a gathering of the Hotwheels women. New members are welcome.

Fire up a batch of them Public Defenders! Can't let the Feds have all the fun. Dunno where this rant came from.. y'all can just skip it, sorry for blathering. But I'm conspiracy-paranoid theory-cookin that crime is getting to be like a buffet for local, state, federal, lawyers, judges, jail guards, ect. ect. down to the dude that scrapes the blood off the streets. A criminal incarcerated makes money... especially if that person was *costing* money to begin with. Examples: it cost someone money to leave an inmate money... pocket that, total profit. Calling someone outta jail nets some credit card company a kickback that goes all down the line. Socks are 5 bux in jail, prolly get "donated' by some company for a tax credit, you get the tax bill but it didn't have a cost.. and it's all cheddar, baby.... someone somewhere is making money off of cheap jail socks! Awesome! How do I get a slice? Money flows in from all sorts of sources, but I somehow get the bill, somehow, I just know it. Aaaand now 19 more, plus the vee knott guys, Caching! Yay. Sorry for the random rant.. also, nice mugshots.
Yah, still waiting breathlessly to find out what V-Not means. The answer is probably inane, so let's make up something. My guess:
V is the Valley, and even though some of their territory is actually in the Valley, they is sayin that they aint from the Valley. Suggested hand-sign is an upside-down V (bonus: also disses the peace sign)
I hope the gang targeted is the ridiculously inept "V-Not" gang. Perhaps then I'll find out what V-Not stands for. I'll bet it is something really dumb that makes me giggle...

I guess the point I'm making with this info will be made in the form of a question: Ladies of the African-American community, I want to know just what level of drug-dealing, crime-riddled negative infamy does your baby daddy have to posess for you all to NOT NAME CHILD AFTER HIM. Please, someone help me? This is a serious question, because I don't get it... if your baby daddy is a violent thug with a criminal past, why is it acceptable, actually HONORABLE, to doom the kid with his name?? Like naming my child Charles Manson, Junior... I mean, what other future can the kid have? And the above article shows the answer. Seriously.... WTH.
Reason bail is so high: Talarico "Big T" Young was bailed and is still in court for an outstanding Burgulary 1st, Possesion Weapon 2nd, Reckless Endangerment, DWI, no license, and other traffic matters from August, 2011.
That's his 2nd DWI. He did minimal time for another robbery in '02 and a burglary in '05. He has never paid taxes and received S.S.I. before being arrested.
In short: violent, unemployable, has no license but drives badly anyways, does not learn lessons, has a penchance for carrying loaded guns and getting his drunk on. Also, life totally paid for in every aspect by you, my fellow taxpaying suckaz.
neil, you must be joking, right? Saquan isn't paying for his lawyer, Saquan hasn't paid for anything in his life, ever. The working class is footing the bill for attorney Klein as a Public Defender, and for this whole trial. I thought you were ok with that. Also, you should be ok with funding Saquan Evans Jr's entire life as well... that's the brilliantly-named Son of Saquan.
Don't be mad bro, just keep paying your taxes and keep your indignation to yourself like the rest of us..
I'm still waiting anxiously to find out what "V-Not" stands for. I'm betting it's something really stupid.
Can we bill the Bricktown Gang for any of these legal costs? So far, the taxpayers have been footing the bill for all the expenses involved in this gang war, and it's getting kinda pricey...
Ladies and gentlemen of this SUPPOSED jury, I have one final thing for you to consider: this is Chewbacca, a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca LIVES on Endor.
Now think about that: That does not! Make! Sense!
Agreed! Also, he has a very small window of opportunity to knock up that baby-momma so he will have someone to sponge off once his 2.5 years at State Prison are done.
Ahh, I remember this dude. He actually applied for medical disability after he was shot while doing Bricktown Gang "business". Yes, you heard that right... he thought he should be paid disability because he couldn't sell drugs while recovering from a gunshot wound. (he was denied due to being in jail at the time)
Seriously, I'm not kidding. Darnell Williams Jr. is a visionary.
It's a shame we can't set bail based on what they were previously arrested FOR, rather than what they are convicted of. Example: Loftin Jr was arrested for Burglary 2 in December of 2003, and again in May of 2004. What this tells me is that either: A) it's horrible luck that he got busted right after turning 16 and losing the protection of the 'juvenile' umbrella, or B) he has been in trouble before, but it all got swept under the rug while he was a juvenile. Since he has now been arrested 11 times, 5 of which were felonies, I'm going with 'B'. Also, missed "only one" court appearance? Umm, he gets arrested for violent felonies, so he's locked up... he has no choice but to appear! Just because the Public Defender has gotten him probation after probation after probation, the charges never happened? That's bass-ackwards. End result: even though he has been crime-ing it up his whole life, he does actually have only one conviction. Yeah, I'd let him loose too.
Random aside: he has two "children", so there is some sister out there who looked at this uneducated, unemployable, violent, dim-witted street thug and thought "I wanna have that dudes baby!" No wonder the AA community is the poorest it has ever been...
What?? You gotta be kidding me. Cameron Grady has been charged with a crime OVER THIRTY TIMES in his life. He just got released from parole last July! And Fahey lets him out again?? THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
09/01 - first DWI in E. Syracuse with property damage. While that case is pending: 11/01 - burglary 2 in Camillus. 04/02 - 2nd DWI (with stolen car), gets probation. 11/02 VIOLATES that probation, gets tougher shock probation. 05/03 - VIOLATES shock probation, gets jail time. E. Syracuse violates him for failure to pay restitution, but he's in jail so it's waived. 08/03 to 10/03 - crime spree in Camillus, Geddes, City (stolen cars, burglary, ect) and violates Fahey's probation. FINALLY TURNS 21. 2006: Arrested 5 times in 4 different courts. 2007: arrested 4 times for stealing cars in two back-to-back incidents (both cars damaged). FINALLY goes to State prison, gets parolled in July 2010, and then this 2 months after. HELLO?
BTW, every case above was covered by a public defender, even though his parents have jobs and own their home. He's never had a license, so we don't even get that $$$ back from him. Do you know what this one individual has cost the taxpayers of Onondaga? I'm not even talking damaged cars and insurance payouts. Seriously, it would be cheaper to just buy him his OWN BAR and a copy of GTA3 and let him drink himself stupid. I AM SEVERLY PISSED.

Havoc DH Wheels
Issue : May 2009
Editorial Review
Easton's downhill-specific wheels are hand-built, featuring a 32mmwide rim rolling on a 20mm thru-axle front hub and a 150 x 12mm rear. They're laced three-cross with 28 spokes front and rear. That might sound a bit on the imsy side for a downhill wheel, but Easton claims its proprietary 2.3-2.0mm single-butted DT stainless spokes build a 46 percent stiffer wheel than one built with 36 straight-gauge 2.0mm spokes. According to Easton, the cross-section of the spoke and the number of spokes dictates wheel stiffness, so it tries to nd the best balance of weight and overall rigidity. The hubs have triple bearings with improved seals and thicker grease than what's found in the company's road line, and the freehub has 12 degrees of movement before engagement. The wheels are rigid, feel solid and handle predictably, though acceleration is average for a wheel in this genre. Countless hard hits that would have easily dented lighter DH rims didn't phase the Havoc. In spite of constant ogging, the wheels stayed impressively straight and with tight spokes.--Ron Koch

A new study of consumers in North America finds that, when it comes to customer satisfaction, no grocery chain tops Trader Joe's.
Those participating in the study conducted by Market Force were asked to rate their last shopping visit with a grocer and then whether or not they would refer that store to others. Trader Joe's rated was highest, followed by Publix and Whole Foods.
So what was it about Trader Joe's that resulted in such high levels of customer satisfaction? The chain ranked first on atmosphere and fast checkouts, and second on cleanliness, courteous staff, merchandise selection and accurate pricing.
Interestingly, TJ's was not in the top five in any of the following categories: convenient location, low prices, sales/promotions and one-stop shopping.
"With most consumers satisfied with their grocery-shopping experiences, it makes for a very competitive playing field for grocers looking to distinguish themselves from the masses," said Janet Eden-Harris, chief marketing officer for Market Force, in a statement. "We start to see the greatest opportunities for differentiation in operations-related attributes such as fast check-outs, gracious staff and atmosphere."
Market Force interviewed 6,645 women (73 percent) and men (27 percent) from the U.S. and Canada. Sixty percent reported household incomes of more than $50,000 a year with half having children at home.
In a RetailWire.com online discussion, retailing experts reviewed the study findings to consider which of Trader Joe's operational attributes are most important in setting it apart from its competition. Are there lessons for other grocers?
"Location, prices, promotions and selection are the table stakes to a favorite grocery store," wrote Liz Crawford, VP, strategy & insights, Match Drive. "Cleanliness, courtesy and atmosphere are the incremental benefits that delight customers and keep them loyal."
There was no disagreement among the panel on the point that TJ's gives shoppers a uniquely friendly experience that is hard for other operators to match.
"The two most challenging, elusive and yet most effective operational 'home runs' for your brand are atmosphere and courteous staff," commented Adrian Weidmann, principal, StoreStream Metrics. "When you go to Trader Joe's, you are experiencing a 'story' (Stew Leonard's is another great example). Trader Joe's is a brand that is very good at storytelling and bringing that story to life. The 'typical' grocery story is merely a clean warehouse."
Other experts on RetailWire's BrainTrust panel point to TJ's limited assortment formula, a refreshingly simple approach for many shoppers who feel overwhelmed by stores that offer twenty choices per product category. Retailing consultant Dick Seesel sees similarities to Trader Joe's sister company, Aldi, which has also ranked highly in consumer satisfaction surveys, perhaps counter intuitively given its no frills offerings.
"Trader Joe's secret is not just about accurate pricing and fast checkout," wrote Mr. Seesel. "It really comes down to the small formats, well-edited assortments and value pricing of unique private-brand products."
Retailers today are focusing on increasing the frequency of shopping trips, wrote Sid Raisch, president, Advantage Development System. "The small format aligns on that. The addictive items sprinkled in their selection make them sticky. Anyone tried the chocolate dipped dunking cookies? Weird location over the food coolers but, once you know where to look, you always do. The value priced wine — Two Buck Chuck — same thing. Wine is in most every basket. There is a favorite item for every customer in almost every aisle and you know it before you enter the store."
And yet, if competitors are looking to copy Trader Joe's formula, they're probably barking up the wrong tree, according to brand communication specialist Joan Treistman.
"Grocery chains should have a strategy which builds on their self-defined point of differentiation," Ms. Treistman wrote. "Then they can determine if consumers perceive them the same way and are satisfied with their shopping experience. Next the retailer can examine the competitive landscape to assess their position in it. Finally, they will be able to evaluate the success of their strategy and tactics."

Chez Georges
I'm traveling to Paris with my Mom next week and we were able to secure a reservation at Chez Georges. Good choice?
I wasn't able to find a website. Anyone know of one? Also any "can't miss" items?
Is it Chez Georges at the Porte Maillot or Chez Georges rue du Mail. Both are traditional more or less casual bistrots, but Porte Maillot is more upscale and much bigger, rue du Mail is more convivial, with its all you can eat starters. Google "chez Georges Restaurant Paris" and the first two response are about the two restaurants. Neither have overwhelming specialties that I am aware of.
re: souphie
I believe it Chez Georges rue du Mail.
re: Elyssa
I ate there on Valentine's Day, 2005. I still remember the outstanding baguette -- maybe the best I've ever had. Seriously. It is a very charming, classic bistrot. For some reason the restaurant seemed segretated -- one room was full of Anglophones, the other full of French -- we were seated smack dab in the middle of the Anglophone room. My husband, who speaks fluent French, was kind of insulted.
Apparently, I speak awful French because I made a terrible, terrible mistake ordering... I still don't know what happened -- I wanted the coeur de filet, but I ordered a hanger steak instead. It was 70% fat and came with a little gravy boat of additional fat on the wide. Very odd. I couldn't eat it. I'm still not sure why my brain misfired -- I clearly remember THINKING coeur de filet, but hanger steak came out.
My husband had the coeur de filet and he loved it.
This story actually starts out fine. Anybody that has been to Paris knows that a good portion of the restaurants are closed on Mondays. Getting a table for 8 on a Monday night at Chez George and having it ready when we got there was something to get really excited about. Well it all went south from there.
My dinner partners on this particular night were a mix of half French and half Americans who all live and work in this amazing city. They are the kind of people who eat out very often and know all sorts of restaurants in Paris.
I myself have been to Chez George on many occasions. I have a friend who has a house across the street and have been with her several times for lunch and dinner. On one occasion I went to a dinner given by the editor of Vogue who took over the restaurant for a special night. Every time I had a wonderful meal but that has been some time now.
My first course was a "Salade Frisee aux Lardons/euf Mollet. When it arrived I was already surprised by the presentation (the lack of bacon and a rather tiered looking egg) but my biggest surprise was yet to come. As I was picking at the few pieces of lardon that I could scavenge. I came across of all things a rather large metal SCREW. I am not the kind of person to make a scene or ask for something for free but I thought I would bring it to the attention of our waiter. Our waiter at first had an expression of shock but that was all we would get from Chez George that expression and a below average meal.
My neighbor who is a self proclaimed "foodie" ordered the "Rognon de Veau" which if one was looking for something to chew on for a few hours to kill some time, I would suggest this. At the other end of the table someone who I know goes out every night of her life had which on the menu was called "Entrecote" but should have been "Fat with a tiny sliver of Meat". When she was finished it looked like a suicide bomber had exploded on her plate…. A rather fat one!!
The rest of the table had pretty unremarkable comments as well and the one thing we all agreed is that we would never go back. I could go on and on but my advice is if you are looking for a good bistro in Paris don't go the Chez George. Try Bistro de Paris, Le Voltaire, Chez Rene and if you want a really good entrecote go to the Entrecote. I guess things would have help if there had been some sort of acknowledgement that a screw in a salad deserves more than a look but alas this is a free world and I don't have to go back.
re: worldoyster
It is unfortunate that your party experienced such a poor meal. But it is also unfortunate that, since there are a handful of Chez George/s in Paris, you haven't given us the coordinates of the restaurant that disappointed you.
re: mangeur
Yes please give the address.
As was pointed out there are two chez Georges, plus one chez George (no 's' in the end; which is how worldoyster spelled it, which is on rue des Canettes in St Germain; however on a similar worded review on tripadvisor, the restaurant reviewed is chez GeorgeS on rue du Mail), plus just Georges, in Centre Pompidou.
re: mangeur
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Georges rue du Mail. Speaking of which, we had a very enjoyable meal at the one at Porte Maillot last december. Classic, generous, professional. A place I like.
re: souphie
Had a lovely lunch at rue du Mail Georges last month. Delicious food and good service, same as my last visit there. Georges in the Pompidou is only good for the view, I think. Barely remember what we ate there.
re: souphie
I agree as always with Soup, OP is talking about "that" one not the Porte Maillot location where I also loved the rolling cart of porkie stuff.

San Diego Comic-Con 2015: All the Latest DC News
DCU in 2011: Superboy and Supergirl are going to have their hands full...
...with a lot more Doomsday than they bargained for. As announced earlier this week, the Reign of Doomsday story will continue through SUPERMAN/BATMAN ANNUAL #5, as Supergirl must team up with Batman to try to stop Doomsday and Cyborg Superman from tearing them apart. The issue will hit in early April, written by James Robinson with art by Miguel Sepulveda.
Take a sneak peek at next week's WONDER GIRL
Cassie Sandsmark has mother issues. Her relationship with her father isn't on much better terms - she's the daughter of Zeus, yet she's done her best to steer clear of his influences. Even on a weekend getaway from the Titans Tower to visit her mother at an archeological conference, Wonder Girl can't seem to avoid a conflict - whether it's with her parents, or a supervillain.
DCU IN 2011: Introducing Sonya Zucco, the Mysterious Return of James Gordon, Jr. and DETECTIVE COMICS
Legacy is a big part of the DC Universe. Through the years, Batman has mentored many Robins: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne. Each hero, in their own way, reflects their times.
This just happened: BATMAN BEYOND #1
So, there's a special cameo at the end of BATMAN BEYOND #1 (now on sale) and it's pretty sweet.
Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!
Emmy award winning writer Paul Dini has penned an episode of BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD that should certainly appeal to SOURCE readers when the show returns with new episodes in a few weeks. It's called "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!" and fans of the series have been salivating for it since details first emerged.
Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne form The Dysfunctional Duo in BATGIRL #17
Stephanie Brown's taken on her first official Batman Incorporated assignment, and it's a doozy. Making matters worse, the, er - less than cooperative - Damian Wayne has decided that the case is his jurisdiction. Can they manage to stop fighting long enough to crack a kidnapping case? Reading the preview below is sort of like watching two speeding freight trains on a collision course, no?
DCU in 2011: With friends like these... [David Finch on drawing BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT]
Bruce Wayne's been building his global empire of Batman, Incorporated. But now and again, he still needs to reach out to an old friend for a helping hand.
DCU in 2011: Tony Daniel dishes on upcoming BATMAN
It's rare enough that a creator comes along who can both write and draw, but it's even more impressive when one is able to deliver an outstanding product month after month on an ongoing title.
Has The Absence gotten the best of Batman in BATMAN AND ROBIN #19?
If we've learned anything from Paul Cornell and Scott McDaniel's Batman and Robin issues, it's that The Absence isn't quite all there up in her noggin, and I'm not just talking about the giant hole in her head. The lady's scary-crazy.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 2010 President Barack Obama thanked legislators today for overcoming partisan differences in approving the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and in repealing the so-called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
Obama spoke during a White House news conference. He praised the bipartisan efforts of the lame duck Congress, which also passed legislation to extend tax cuts, spur economic growth and support those first responders who suffered health problems as a result of their actions on 9/11.
"If there's any lesson to draw from these past few weeks, it's that we are not doomed to endless gridlock," the president said. "We've shown in the wake of the November elections that we have the capacity not only to make progress, but to make progress together."
The president also spoke to the members of the American military. "I want to send a message to all those Americans who are spending Christmas serving our nation in harm's way," he said. "As I said in Afghanistan earlier this month, the American people stand united in our support and admiration for you. And in this holiday season, I'd ask the American people to keep our troops in your prayers and lend a hand to those military families who have an empty seat at the table."
On the don't ask, don't tell repeal, the president said he listened to the military advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James F. Amos told him there could be disruptions from repeal, Obama said. But all of the chiefs told the president that "they were confident that they could implement this policy without it affecting our military cohesion and good discipline and readiness."
Obama called the new START treaty the most significant arms control agreement in nearly two decades. He said the treaty will allow the United States and Russia to reduce their nuclear arsenals and do so in a verifiable manner.
"With this treaty, our inspectors will also be back on the ground at Russian nuclear bases," he said. "So we will be able to trust, but verify."
The treaty is an important brick in rebuilding the U.S. relationship with Russia. The United States and Russia can work together on a host of foreign policy initiatives, including sanctions on Iran and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to terrorists.
"The strong bipartisan vote in the Senate sends a powerful signal to the world that Republicans and Democrats stand together on behalf of our security," Obama said.

Fresh October Air
Funny how we don't always appreciate what's in our own backyard.
No, we don't have a home at the beach but it's only minutes away, yet we rarely go there.
Today was a good day to get out and enjoy the sunshine with temperatures around 65 degrees or 18 Celsius. At the beach it was a little cooler but oh so refreshing.
Birders on the beach.
Someday when I retire... birding and gardening would be a great way to live.
Sanderlings scurrying back and forth as the tide kept moving in and out.
Didn't want to stop walking along the beach with the cool fresh salt air hitting my face and the tranquil sound of the waves breaking...
But there was more to do and see.
On with some more walking to a short nature trail along side the beach.
This area of Southern New Jersey is know for it's Birding and Wildlife Trails although we didn't walk far enough this time to see many birds.
Lots of Monarch butterflies still hanging around.
This little cutie I've not seen before.
One person we met along the way believed it to be the Pink-Edged Sulphur.
Marsh grass is found everywhere near the water.
Traveling a few miles South and still near the water we rediscovered a public garden where Dahlias are still blooming.
Dahlias are one of many flowers I don't have growing in my yard,but after seeing these beauties...maybe I should !
More than just Dahlias ...
These remind me of wishbone flowers, but believe they're Nemesia.
There were two adorable little girls painting pumpkins.
October is a wonderful time of year, the tourist are gone so it's quiet and the air is fresh and clean.
It's so peaceful and it's all sorta in our backyard !

Thanks for the walk along the beach. I miss the beach so much and you captured it wonderfully. Birding and gardening will be an awesome retirement indeed. Those dahlias are like stunning! We too have the monarchs and sulfurs. They are amazing this year!ReplyDelete
I would love to spend time walking along the beach and looking at plants up in the sandy areas. Enjoyed your photos, the one with the goldenrod in the sand is beautiful. Loved seeing the butterflies too. Guess we better enjoy this weather while we can, can't last much longer.ReplyDelete
What an array of beautiful pictures. Wants one to walk through the sand bare foot.With the temp might make for red pinkies though ;-)ReplyDelete
What gorgeous dahlia's! I only own one so maybe more should be thought about too.
What a great visit to the beach, thanks for taking me along!! Wonderful array of dahlias!ReplyDelete
Thank goodness I do not live there, I would never get anything done. It is so beautiful, I love deserted beaches. I love the butterflies....it is always good to see a butterfly...ReplyDelete
I have planted dahlias for the first time this year. I was very unsure but have absolutely loved them......the blooms are enormous, and such lovely colours......
Oh, the beach! Want to be there right now. These images are very therapeutic! Dahlia is an easy plant, I learned that recently and now, can't imagine my garden without it. Such a day will give me needed energy for the whole week. Thank you Patsi!ReplyDelete
Wonderful shots of the beach what a great place to live and lovely photos of the flowers especially the many Dahlias.ReplyDelete
I just love Dahlias. Great photographs of some gorgeous flowers. And the beach, of course.ReplyDelete
Oh how I miss the ocean, but viewing your photos brought back wonderful memories. What beautiful dahlias. Thank you for sharing your vibrant photography.ReplyDelete
I live in Nebraska, and finally was able to satisfy my longing to see an ocean in June of 2007, when my husband and I drove to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We were in awe of the ocean. The beach was awesome, too. Your photos brought back fond memories. You are fortunate to live so close.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment on my veggie garden update. The smaller leaves of kale are less bitter. Also, it gets less bitter when the temps get cooler. I pick it and eat it raw as well as including it in soups. I will sometimes tear some leaves onto a plate, add a few carrots, and put blue cheese or poppy seed dressing. I use a brand called, "Brianna's". It uses healthier oils, like canola.
Patsi, you are sooo lucky to be that near the ocean! I was in Calif. for the past 5 days and spent a part of everyday strolling along the shore. These pics are beautiful..thanks for sharing! Yes, birding is something I think I would enjoy too!ReplyDelete
What a pretty beach you live by. I wish we lived a bit closer to the ocean.ReplyDelete
The dahlias and other flowers are really pretty, nice to see so much blooming this late in October.
so refreshing to see the sea & the flowers.ReplyDelete
We had very few monarchs and no sulfurs here this past summer. At least I didn't see any.
Someday retirement will be here. :)
The salt air is wonderful when it's cool.
That was a favorite photo of mine also.
Trying to figure where I could put dahlias...think I need a bigger yard. :)
I should be going more often now.
A house on the beach where no tourist go would be ideal. Oh and room for more flowers.
Therapeutic is a good discription.
Hmmm... dahlias are easy.
Glad you enjoyed. I need to get out more and enjoy myself.
Oh Patsi, what a delight! Your photos are wonderful and really transport us to that wonderful spot. The birders set up on the sand was particularly sharp, the ocean looked so blue! No tourists means you can really get the natural feel of the beach and garden, the dahlias are so photogenic, they loved your camera! :-)ReplyDelete
There's something so peaceful about the beach. I love the photos. Beautiful.ReplyDelete
Hi Patsi, what a lovely beach you live have near home! The dahlias always look stunning.ReplyDelete
A wonderful outing! I loved the tour, especially seeing the shore and the plants in the gardens. A few Monarchs are still hanging out here, too. The hummingbirds have already packed up their tiny bags and gone south.ReplyDelete
Love color even if it's not flowers. Can't beat the beach this time of year.
T Opdycke,
Memories are wonderful.
Ok...with blue cheese or poppy seed dressing kale has to taste good !
The Calif coast line is a lot different than ours...of course it depends where you went.
You must have had a great time...love the sunsets.
I guess the dahlias will die off when we get our first frost. Love the ocean east or west coast.
James M,
You're right....it's refreshing !
Nature is wonderful when it's quiet and calm.
Might get a macro lens...curious if the pics would be better.
This is a good time of year. The garden is at rest which gives time to visit more garden bloggers.
Someday I might get dahlias...well I do have one small one still in a pot(from hubby).
I still keep looking for the hummers :(
Must do some more tours before it freezes here.
I totally agree, this is a great time of year to visit the beach. The weather is almost perfect, the tourist season is over and you can have the beach all to yourself.ReplyDelete
Your last photo is wonderful. I could spend all day on that bench.
What a great walk. I love the ocean!ReplyDelete
Hi Patsi - gosh, I feel like I was on the beach with you .... I wish!ReplyDelete
I live about as far from the sea as you can get in the UK (about 75 miles!), but it's far enough to have to have a full day free to go - and that hasn't happened (or I haven't made it happen)for FAR too long, so thanks for reminding me of what I've been missing :)
Patsi, I seem to have forgotten where you live and am so impressed by this post! Wow... in your backyard? (at least, almost?) What a wonderful place to visit... and yes, birding and walking the beach, etc. would be a wonderful way to spend some time! :-) I've never grown dahlias. They're beautiful, but I cannot do it, I think.ReplyDelete
Have a great day! :-)
Chad and Brandy,ReplyDelete
Went again today but it was a little chilly.
Fun isn't it?
Go, before it gets too cold.
Glad you enjoyed the visit.
I think this would be a great place to retire.
Well...the winters can get bitter but that's what vacations are for. :)
This is exactly what the doctor ordered for me on this Friday night, right before I go to sleep. I will have sweet dreams now, of the sea and sand and beautiful flowers...oh, those dahlias! So MANY colors and styles! I particularly love that photo of the sand with the ripples of water throughout...it's fascinating! I understand about not doing or visiting things right in 'your own backyard'--that's pretty much how we are with Washington DC and surrounding areas. We stay around here mostly...there are always so many crowds at these historic places. I think I would like to make a visit up to DC once before winter sets in though...you've reminded me to do that before the year is over! I hope you can have some more outings to the beach before it gets cold! I could easily be a beach bum and live there forever;-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for your visit and comment.
Glad to answer questions when I visit you...
Making life easier is a good thing.

Video:Fantasy Football: Set Up a Teamwith Jamal Andress
Want to know the basics behind setting up a fantasy football team on any platform? This About.com video shows you how to get started.See Transcript
Transcript:Fantasy Football: Set Up a Team
Hello I'm Jamal Andress for About.com. Every fall along with tailgating, hot dogs and game day grilling comes Fantasy Football, and for those who want to get involved, this video will show you how to set up a fantasy football team.
Start/Join a Fantasy Football League
The first step is to figure out which league you are going to be apart of. Maybe everyone at work has started a league or you may want to get one together with your best friends. Either way you will have to select a website to host your league and there are lots to choose from. The most popular sites to host fantasy football leagues are ESPN and Yahoo!. If you are creating the league, you will likely be the commissioner and will be required to set up how the league drafts and scores.
Fantasy Football: Different Draft Styles
Once the league is ready, the first step in setting up your personal team is always the draft. The draft can take place in two different styles, the serpentine and the auction style. A serpentine draft allows owners to take turns drafting players and the owner who picks first in the odd rounds will pick last in the even rounds. An auction style draft is centered around a fixed budget each owner is allotted in the league and how much he or she is willing to pay for the superstar player you want. Owners take turns nominating players for open bid, and to the highest bidder go the spoils.
Drafting Players
While selecting players, you, the owner must keep in mind what is needed on your team based on how the league is scored. Depending on the league the roster may change but here's a typical list of players for an ESPN standard league fantasy football team
- 1 Quarterback
- 2 Running Backs
- 2 Wide Receiver
- 1 Flex player
- 1 Tight End
- 1 Kicker
- 1 Team Defense and Special Teams
- 6 bench players
Each week you choose a group of starters from your total roster and only those starters can score points for your team that week.
Thanks for watching our video on how to set up your next fantasy football team. For more information on Fantasy Football drafting, strategy or just how to get started be sure to check out About.com

The big buck appeared like a shadow in the early morning Manitoba light, and began methodically making his way toward my stand, stopping occasionally to test the wind or nose the ground for signs of danger or other deer.
It is easy to allow your mind to wonder during the hours of solitude spent in the forest - picturing the ideal spot for a monster whitetail to make an entrance.
I think we all do it - envision which route or trail an experienced brute might take - visualize him walking through a sliver of light along a faint runway carved into the forest floor.
On this morning, I don't think I could have scripted it better.
He first came into sight like a ghost emerging from a tangle of dense brush - exactly as I had envisioned an experienced deer would. Then, he strode proudly along a well-used trail that promised to bring him easily within bow range.
"He's a nice buck, I am definitely going to take him," I whispered to my hunting partner, Mike Fenoff, as I eased my way into a solid shooting position.
I caught a glint of antler at 60 yards, and took a deep breath to calm my nerves. While some shots with a bow happen as quickly as it takes to raise and draw, others seem to unfold like a television drama.
This was proving more the latter, giving me almost too much time to mull the shot while nervously willing the deer on.
For the moment at least, he continued to steadily close ground.
Then, just as it seemed the buck would emerge under my stand, the heavy eight-pointer seemed to vanish into the thick Canadian bush as quickly as he appeared.
"Where did he go?" I said in a hushed tone and Mike answered remorsefully, "I don't know."

Best socks on the planet!
07/25/15 | By Carolyn F.
These socks are amazing. I purchased my first three pairs about 10 years ago from a comfort shoe store. I'd never before in my life spent so much money for socks - but the clerk at the store rated them so highly that I thought I'd give them a try. Ten years later, all I own are Thorlo socks. whether for my business casual attire or my most casual attire. They are so comfortable. And they are so durable that I'm still enjoying socks that I purchased nine and ten years ago! I've had to replace some lately only because I've lost a few in the wash. (Darn it! How does that happen anyway?) Still, these socks are a tremendous value and one of the best things you can possibly do for foot health and comfort.
not holding up that well after washing
I love the feel of these socks when I am wearing them- but they are not holding up that well after washing- becoming fuzzy very quickly.
great fit and so comfortable
07/15/14 | By Susan D.
I do love putting on these socks!
Quality has deteriorated badly or I was sent the wrong socks
06/06/14 | By Mary W.
I thought I was ordering the same "crew" socks that I have been purchasing for the last 15 years. However, the socks that I was sent were of a much inferior quality than what I have always received. Unfortunately, I had packed all 4 pairs for a trip and didn't realize how different they were from my old ones until I was gone and had to wear them because I had no other socks. I am badly disappointed and after 15 years I doubt if I will ever purchase these again.
Great comfort!!!
04/16/14 | By Pamela J.
I LOVE these socks -- I had so many pairs but they were very old and finally ordered 12-more pairs and threw out the old ones. They last a long time; are so very comfortable; these are the only socks that I wear and plan to order 12-more to keep on hand! Can't say enough about how wonderful these socks are to wear and to work out in.
Jazzy Kathy
11/21/13 | By Kathy O.
These socks are the best for Jazzercise! They give you support and cushion your feet also.
06/14/13 | By Clara R.
I have very sensitive feet. I can't wear these socks because the ribbing on the bottom of the sock is way too pronounced, even when I turn the sock inside-out.
real comfort
04/28/13 | By Susan D.
great for walking
good all around sock
03/29/13 | By Stephanie B.
I wear these while doing aerobics and have worn them with my cowboy boots. love them and the way my feet feel because of the arch support!
No Blisters Ever
I blister very easily; if I walk barefoot I get blisters on the soles of my feet. I was introduced to these 30+ years ago at the Golden Door Spa and have been wearing them ever since.
Not the same as last purchase.
02/01/13 | By Sharon R.
These socks are so inferior to the last Thorlos I purchased. The cushion on the instep is as if the sock has been worn for a very long time. I was totally disappointed with the socks and I have been purchasing them for so long that I can't tell you the year I started wearing them. I am definitely disappointed.
Best socks I have ever worn!!
Won't wear any other socks. I would recommend Thor-Lo to everyone.
Wow socks!
01/14/13 | By Chris D.
I am SO GLAD I bought these socks. They are absolutely the greatest for doing my weight training and interval workouts. I have used the walking socks for years. The difference in using these is like night and day. A definite keeper.
Cheap Wife
12/14/12 | By Nicholas C.
My wife is very frugal and couldnt see paying the dollars these socks cost , she is now conviced they are worth the $ plus support AMERICAN jobs !
Style has changed, not improved
Thorlos were my favorite socks for years, but the last pair I bought seemed thinner and shorter, like the manufacturers were skimping on material. I'm disappointed. I must have bought AX when I wanted walking socks.
Thorlos with extra cushioning
Would not consider these the most comfortable socks; even tho they do have the cushioning described they are tight across the toes adding to problem I already have
All Thorlos are great!
I actually ordered the wrong sock, but any Thorlo sock is better than any other brand! And Thorlos Customer Service Department is beyond compare! My mix up was handled with such consideration. I will never buy any socks but Thorlos!
Best socks ever
My mother got me hooked several years ago. She had given me pair as a gift. Now, I won't wear anything else.
Durable and Fantastic Socks
I'm a long-term enthusiastic user of Thorlo socks. I've recommended Thorlo to many friends and co-workers to buy these socks. I call it a sound investment considering the price, but they're worth it. Thanks
Didn't like these as much as other Thorlo styles
The sock was too thin for my comfort. I won't buy this style again, but love you other socks.
finally, a real sock!!!
Teriffic for my sensitive no fat feet. No shifting and no overlap a perfectly smooth (painted on) fit. Pricy, but you only get what you pay for, but the buy 3 get one free and free shipping was a real DEAL
Nice but I ordered the wrong style
I have been a Thorlo customer for many years. I was a police officer for many years and wore the black walking sytle for work and the white alking style for everyday wear. I will not wear any other brand socks. I ordered the AX style by mistake, thinking the were the walking stly I usually wear. The AX were nice and fit well but were too thin for my taste. I returned them and got the correct walking style instead. I love these socks!
A winner
Love them, have worn them for a very long time.
My favorite socks
10/12/11 | By Lori N.
These socks are the only ones I buy
Wears like crazy, just wish they weren't so expensive. but my feet are worth it.
Best socks on the market
06/26/11 | By Barbara B.
I've worn Thorlos for over 25 years -- wouldn't think of wearing any other kind for exercise and dance practice.
Always a perfect fit. I don't wear anything else.
06/24/11 | By Joan A.
Have worn Thorlos for so long, I can't remember. I've had several different versions of them and love them all. A clerk at The Ladies Foot Locker recommended them to me.
The only socks I buy
Thorlos are the only socks I buy for walking, running and skiing.
Best socks ever!!
05/20/11 | By Joann W.
I bought 5 pairs for me and 5 pairs for my husband. This is our second time to buy this socks.We wash them according to the instructions and the first time we bought these socks was in 2008. It is worth spending more for these socks because they last longer and without them I don't think I could stand on my feet for 8 hours a day. Love these socks.
Love them!
02/21/11 | By Elizabeth A.
I have chronic feet problems for many years. Thorlo socks are the only ones I buy.
Very disappointed
I have always love Thor-lo socks...great cushioning, long lasting. These socks are definitely inferior. For one thing, they shed. For another, they are very thin and have little cushioning. Too high a price for so little quality
pretty good
These are pretty good socks for high impact exercise, but next time I'll order the ones with more cushioning. Still, I do recommend this brand.
"My absolute favorites!"
I have worn these socks for work and working out for many years and I won't be without them. They last forever and are so incredibly comfortable. Thorlo socks for my feet are like comfort food for my tummy. Gotta have em.
love' em
01/28/11 | By Gregg G.
wish I had bought more ....I would rather wear these than any other socks.
Quality changed
I love Thorlo socks. However, I am surprised at the quality of these. There are a lot of loose threads/yarn on the inside of the sock that I have not experienced with Thorlo in the past. I'm keeping them but I feel let down. I am still a big fan of Thorlo.
great and so says my podiatrist too
01/21/11 | By David B.
my favorite present from anyone or to myself. highly recommended by my podiatrist also
My favorite brand of socks
I have worn the thick cushion socks for years. These are my first medium cushion and the jury is still out, but I'm sure I will love them just like the thick soles.
Quality has decreased, but the price hasn't
About 6 years ago, I purchased these socks and now needed some replacements. The difference in thickness and cushioning is incredible. I will not be purchasing these at this price in the future.
not as good
I have been wearing these for years however the latest ones i purchased are much thinner than before and do not have the quality as the earlier products.
The only socks we ever wear!
The best socks ever!
Best sock ever!
My sister bought me a pair of Thorlos for a present, I love these socks and this style is great.
Best socks for my feet
01/05/11 | By Mary H.
Socks feel great, and I've had several pairs in the past and they last a long time through washings.
Happy feet
I was looking for some comfortable, everyday socks to wear in my red wing boots at work and these are the ones. The fit and comfort are exactly what I needed for 8 hours on my feet.
Great for aerobics classes for 77 year-old!!
I buy these socks for my 77 year old mother-in-law who wears them to her aerobics classes! She only wears Thorlos!!
So comfortable, great arch support
Excellent socks for your feet, esp. if you work standing on your feet all day.
Very comfy!
06/01/10 | By Lois P.
The socks actually make my feet feel good. They are warm and cushy and comfy. They provide a great cushion between my foot and my shoe. Will always buy these socks.
sock success
i'm on my feet all day and these socks make the day a whole lot easier.
Excellent for cross training
Have been wearing Thorlos for years!
Great Socks, but
04/30/10 | By Jane G.
These are great socks, but I was trying to replace some I had bought years ago. I think I chose a different style. These are made of a different material. I still cannot find the "plain 'ole Thorlos" I used to have and have worn out that I wanted to replace.
Survival socks
I injured my feet at work several years ago, and I have to spend 75% of my work day on my feet. I definitely know that the cushion and support have been beneficial in allowing me to survive my work days.
Love them!
04/03/10 | By Gordon K.
Our daughter worked in na athletic shoe store at least 25 years ago and recommended thro-lo socks to us. We both love them and have been wearing them since that time. Ethel and Glordon Klopfenstein
Good socks
Very comfortable. Good padding on balls of feet.
Not what I anticipated
02/24/10 | By Carol C.
Ordered the wrong socks I guess - I was not pleased with all the loose fibers inside the sock - wont' order these agan
Pure comfort!
I love these socks!
Thank goodness for Thorlo!
My local source for these socks closed their store, so for the last few years I searched for my favorite socks. Finding out I can order direct has solved my problem. My feet are so happy!!
great socks
01/13/10 | By Kristin W.
I have used thorlos for atleast 10 years. I teach aerobics and these are the best socks for cushion and comfort
Won't wear any others!
I work out almost every day and ONLY wear these socks. They're the best!!
I love your socks and both me and my mother wear them. I bought each of us a couple of pairs - I guess I didn't pay attention to the model type or something but these socks aren't very good. The top of the foot is very, very thin - actually see-through and the usual padding on the sole is much thinner as well.
very good gift
01/01/10 | By Joseph F.
these socks were a gift They love the socks
Cushioned where you need it
12/30/09 | By Kathleen C.
These are great for exercising indoors. They have extra padding on the toes and heel, but the top is thin. This works better for me than socks that are thick all over because my feet tend to get very hot.
not enough cushion on the top of foot
12/17/09 | By Lynette R.
I do love my Thorlos, but I am going to stick to the thick cushion running socks. This model did not offer enough cushioning at the top of the foot (under the laces). I sent them back
My wife loves the socks.
I purchased the socks for my wife, who absolutely swears by them
Very disappointed
08/27/09 | By Sherry P.
Threads sticking out at both sides of sole where padding not finished, look threadbare on tops of arch. I had ALWAYS worn Thorlo socks since I found them 15 years ago, but the quality of them now is gone. Now I have to look elsewhere to find good socks. What a shame.
My aerobics socks
06/11/09 | By Sandy S.
Best socks for walking, pedaling, step aerobics. Thanks, Thorlo!
Best socks ever
05/16/09 | By Nancy R.
I would never buy any other socks other than Thorlo. No matter which style you choose, they are the best socks you will ever buy.
Knocks your socks off!
05/16/09 | By Andrea B.
Best socks ever! I wear them until they have holes in the toes, sew them up, and wear them some more!
BEST Socks for MY feet!!!
04/29/09 | By Star H.
I have been wearing and thoroughly enjoying Thorlos for over 10+ years. It is the only sock I wear for fitness activities and for the most part the only one I wear for everyday activities!
Extra cushion right where needed for Rheumatoid Arthritis in feet
04/09/09 | By Regina C.
I hve worn these socks for over 5 years. Not only when visiting in winter in PA did they keep me warm, but cushion needed for neuroma pain. Hence, I purchased these for my daughter (Asst. Store Mgr. for large grocery chain) when she was diagnosed with Reactive Rhumatoid Arthritis in her feet and hands. They helped immensely during her l o n g recovery time, which confirmed my love of these socks. She is sold on these socks forever now.
Another great type of stocking from Thorlo
04/01/09 | By Margaret E.
When I reached the stage that my feet hurt every time I walked due to loss of the fat pads, I discovered Thorlo. I have tried about eight types, all helpful. The AX Fitness are comfortable for fitness activities and for everyday wear. I like having the entire sole padded. My feet like them lots!
Great Socks for an Active Person
03/16/09 | By Robert R.
I walk, ride my bike and use a Nordic Trac, almost everyday. Plus I wear these to do earns in and around the city. My feet on constantly on the move so I use these socks because of the ventilation and the cushion on the soles. Best socks for an active person.
My first experience. I love them.
02/20/09 | By Wilton B.

Don't seem to be the same quality as other thorlo socks I have bought in the past. Black pair especially aren't holding up as well.
Greatest workout socks

I am a dance aerobics instructor and have worn Thorlo's now for 20 years and would not consider wearing anything else. They are tops!!

I used to buy Thorlo from a shoe store in Tulsa. Then I moved to NM and didn't know where to find them so I ordered on line. I think the quality of the ones I bought in the store is better than the ones I got on line.
Love 'em all.

Never wore a Thorlo sock that I didn't love. I have the walking, running, fitness, ski, and hiking socks. Love 'em all.

My feet fell great even at the end of a long day standing on them. These are great.

I have a job where I am on my feet alot. My doctor recommended thorlo socks, I tried them and have been wearing them ever since. I also where them when I jog. I threw all my other socks out, I won't wear anything else.
Awesome Comfort

Have been wearing Thorlo for about 10 years now. I hardly wear any other sock as I am on my feet a lot (either at work or when playing)so a comfortable sock is Soooooo important.
Grandma loves the sox!

My MIL has problems with flat feet, overpronating and uses orthotopedic shoes to help. Her feet have bunions, bone spurs and corns. It is painful to walk. After trying these sox, she exclaimed how great they make her feel, and she would like some more!! I knew Thorlos were great for my feet, although I have high arches and plantar fasciitis, I hoped she would like them too. They wash well and it has been over a year that I bought my first pair. Haven't had to replace them!
