Next page: International House of Prayer (IHOP) — Research Resources
The International House of Prayer (IHOP) is a charismatic Christian organization based in Kansas City, Missouri.
After a dispute with the International House of Pancakes (the real IHOP), the International House of Prayer started to use IHOP-KC (for Kansas City) instead.
It was founded on May 7, 1999 by Mike Bickle -- who was also involved in the controversial Kansas City Fellowship (later renamed Metro Christian Fellowship) where he pastored the so-called Kansas City Prophets.
Bickle claims to be visited by angels and to hear God's voice audibly. While he does not claim to be an 'apostle,' he does not discourage others from referring to him as such. He believes that people when people stand before the Judgment seat of Christ they will be held accountable for how they responded to the prophetic encounters and prophecies he and others leaders had about IHOP and its prayer movement.
While many Americans know the IHOP acronym to represent the 'International House of Pancakes,' Paul Cain -- a heretical minister who considers himself to be a prophet used the initials as an acrostic for the vision of the ministry, which was Intercession, Holiness, Offerings and Prophecy.
The International House of Prayer is a 24-hours a day, citywide, worship and warfare, inter-denominational prayer ministry serving the body of Christ. This ministry is modeled after the tabernacle of David with singers and musicians being released to lead corporate intercession and worship 24-hours a day. This is an effective method for the churches in the county to come together and DWELL in unity so that God can unlock His commanded blessing. ...The Word of God Declares "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations" Mark 11:17. ... This House of Prayer for All Nations ministry includes continuous praise and prayer dethroning the principalities and power over a region declaring Gods sovereignty. This is in the spirit of Revelation 4-5 "Harp & Bowl" worship and warfare prayer gatherings, the harp representing praise and the bowl representing the prayers of the saints which is at the heart of David's Tabernacle.

The International House of Prayer holds prayer meetings around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
IHOP "is planning a $150 million-plus world headquarters a few miles south in Grandview that would include a 5,000-seat conference center, a Bible college (IHOP University) and administration offices." [1]
So IHOP is a place of perpetual worship, with continuous two-hour sets of rock band praise music and prayer, which the Web site calls "heroically keeping the fire upon the altar."
"Get 24/7 access to the prayer room for as little as $10 a month," offers the Web site.
It also is a Bible school - IHOPU - at which students pay $1,500 a semester to earn two- and four-year certificates.
The Forerunner Ministry curriculum focuses on the End Times. The school is not accredited; meaning credits are not transferable to regular colleges.
IHOPU also has a music academy and a media school at which students use the latest equipment to learn lighting, video production, graphics, scoring and audio effects.
IHOP has outgrown the old Terrace Lake Shopping Center in the 3500 block of Red Bridge Road. At the west end is Glad Heart Realty, which works closely with people moving here to attend IHOP. The broker/owner is Bickle's wife, Diane. According to the agency's Web site, all profits go to the IHOP ministry.
The group also occupies another strip center on Grandview Road as well as the former Kernodle Lake community, which now is called Shiloh Retreat and used for IHOP conferences. The 94-acre Shiloh site is blocked from public access. The music academy is in what once were Grandview School District administrative offices.
Most recently, IHOP has contracted to purchase the Grandview Plaza shopping center, which is just south of the site of the planned 125-acre development across U.S. 71 from Truman Corners.
Erin Bardon of BNB Design, a Lenexa-based architecture firm, said occupancy of the new Truman Prayer Center is scheduled for summer 2013. Later phases call for dorms, a hotel and office towers, said Bardon, who is not an IHOP member.
An extensive campaign is under way to raise money for the Grandview project just east of U.S. 71, Hall said. Large donors are expected to show up.
Page 11 of the IHOPU catalog contains these words: "We are looking for a generation of radical young people who are willing to prepare their own hearts and lives that they may soon prepare others for the return of Jesus."

At Apologetics Index we consider the International House of Prayer to be, theologically, a cult of Christianity.
We also believe this movement's theology leaves the door wide open for various forms of spiritual manipulation and abuse.

I set up four-finger left and right swipes to change Spaces,
it was buggy because it activated also the default function (CMD-TAB).
Now it's not working at all, but when I hit CMD-TAB it now change Spaces (-_-)
Keep going, this is still very good work !

are you sure you haven't accidentally set cmd+tab to change spaces?
If you want to use four finger gestures you have to deactivate the original apple 4 finger gestures in your system prefs as described in the docu

Just my 2 cents: I really appreciate the speed in which you offer bug fixes and new versions. The only downside of this: I think there are users (like me) who do not use your tool, because they are waiting for a "stable" version.
I can no longer differentiate between a "Main" version, a bug fix etc. ("three fingers are working….. broken…..working again").
Again: this is no fault at all on your side, this is programming. My suggestion: give us a version every three days or better: a weekly "main" version. So all "in-between" bugs are fixed and everyone can see the difference between version A and B.
But may be it's just me

Yes, it happened twice with 0.325 this morning london time — had to hard reboot both times. Have not tried with 0.326. I set it up to run a trigger from Quickeys (maybe that's the problem???)

My 2 cents. I enjoy testing this piece of software out and download every version even if I'm at work. That is just me As long as the admin/programmer enjoys releasing as he does, I'll keep downloading

First let me just say that I love you! Just kidding, but I do love your app. This software has made the Magic Mouse usable again. But I was wondering if there was a reason you removed the swipe up and swipe down on the new versions. The main thing I use this for is to disable vertical scrolling in FCP cause it's impossible to do a multicam edit with it on. So if you could add it back that'd be awesome!
9. Taume Says:
November 17th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
This tool is awesome! Makes me love my new iMac even more 😉
But would it be possible that you integrate a zoom function within magic mouse? This would be absolutely mind blowing!

@javier if you go into your system preferences and click on the keyboard option you can enable the Function keys. Then open BetterTouchTool and add the command then disbale function key option so you have you menu keys back. or if you like the function keys enabled.
13. Jaydee Says:
November 17th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Hello, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful app with us!
Some suggestions I would love to see implemented in future versions
– cmd+tab as a key command (simulate holding the command key to keep the menu open on first tap, disengage the hold on 2nd tap)
– the move window left,right and maximize alternate from original window size to full,left,right when the key command is repeated
– cmd+click working in 1 click instead of 3 like it is now
These features would make this the best app on the planet…a place to send donations would be welcome too! Have a good day btt rules 😀

Charlie Sheen Roast Adds William Shatner, Kate Walsh and Jon Lovitz
In addition to those stars, the network also announced that comedians Patrice O'Neal and Amy Schumer will be on the roast dias. Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash will also be there, but it's unclear whether he will be a roaster, or just take a long nap under his giant hat.
The full roast roster also includes previously-announced Roastmaster Seth MacFarlane, Mike Tyson, Steve-O, Anthony Jeselnik and RoastMaster General Jeffrey Ross.
The roast has the potential to be a huge blockbuster for Comedy Central. The last two events, roasts of David Hasselhoff and Donald Trump, have given the network record ratings. Giving audiences a chance to enjoy two hours of public Sheen shaming seems likely to drive the ratings even higher.
Sheen seems to be taking a good-natured approach to the extravanganza. He's recorded several promos for the network, which feature him riding alternately riding a Torpedo of Truth and driving a Crazy Train.
The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen airs Mon., Sept. 19 at 10 PM ET.

Four people died in accidents on Oklahoma roads, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Larry Barrett, 61,
of Zeeland, Mich.
A Michigan man was killed in a Thursday collision, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
Barrett was killed in a crash about 10:10 a.m. Thursday in the westbound lanes of the Turner Turnpike near Chandler, the highway patrol said.
Barrett was a passenger in a tractor-trailer driven by Rodger Wylie, 48, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Wylie was taken to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City with multiple internal and external injuries.
Another tractor-trailer involved in the crash was driven by Ronald Ray Reed, 61, of Tulsa. He suffered minor injuries but refused treatment at the scene.
The patrol reports traffic had been slowed due to debris in the roadway. The tractor-trailer driven by Reed slowed down and the tractor-trailer driven by Wylie failed to slow down and hit Reed's rig.
Seat belts were in use by everyone except Barrett, the patrol reported.

I came to Atty. Cartwright confused & unsure on what to do, she calmed my nerves quickly...little do she know. Atty. Carwright gave me the facts, handle my Chap 13 & put my mind to rest. I appreciate her for handling my case so quickly & w/much knowledge. She is a awesome Attorney, I will recommend her to others.
Posted by Kimberly
I would like to provide an update to my previous review. Ms. Cartwright and her assistant provided me with a fair resolution which I accepted. This is the the type of service I desire from a law firm. I will refer Ms. Cartwright to others who are seeking help in filing for bankruptcy.
Posted by Kimberly
I recently filed bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in October of 2013. I was finally told on December 27, 2013 that Kristen misinformed me that I was eligible to file when in fact, I was not eligible. The firm apologized but that doesn't help the fact that they took my money and did nothing to help my situation. Andrea filed my case knowing in advanced it would be denied. I will have to file in October of 2014. I am very disappointed and disgusted with the disservice received from this firm.
Posted by Scott
Mrs. Cartwright and her office team were very helpful, understanding and PANTIENT with me and my case. When ever I had a question, no matter what, I got the correct and honest answer!
Her and her staff have that personal touch and understanding you would expect in any situation!
Thank you Andrea and staff for helping re-start my Life!
Posted by Antonio
Attorney Cartwright was referred to me by a co-worker who she also helped. I was days from foreclosure and although I had a job, my hours were cut back and even with my furlough days I did not have enough time to work a second real. She advised me of my options before helping me file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It was the best decision possible because I now have bills that I can afford. Andrea and her staff answered all of my calls and questions and helped me with things that I overlook. She even made sure that I was in good shape after the bankruptcy was over. I recommend her to anyone because she took the time to handle my case with care.
Posted by a Chapter 11 client
I was very disappointed in the treatment and respect received from Ms. Cartwright. She was never available for questions, and I even called her from the parking lot and was told she was not in, and when went into the office, she was there. I eventually found someone more capable, and she refused to return any of my money, which I received no service for. She could really use an attitude adjustment.

Bankruptcy is scary but Andrea Cartwright eased the fears and got the results I needed!
Posted by Amy
Andrea made a very intimidating experience very manageable. She and the staff were so pleasant. I was always informed of the process and, in the end, I was very happy with the whole experience. She came recommended to me from an acquaintance and I have since recommended her to others. I would also like to add that her fees are very reasonable.
Posted by a Bankruptcy client
We needed help. Ms. Cartwright's office led us through really rough time and exceded our expectations of personal property we were allowed to keep. We found Ms. Cartwright and her team warm and personable; while at the same time effective and efficient.
Andrea was very diligent in helping me throughout the bankruptcy process. Working with one of her assistants, they kept my case which due to personal events, took longer than usual. Still she stayed with me and helped me to be comprehensive and concise in all steps of the bankruptcy. Contact was contiguous and prompt. All aspects of my filing for bankruptcy were discussed including any possible limitations on my ability to access future credit and certain debts that could not be discharged. Andrea was honest and thorough in all details, even returning $1.00 which I overpaid in filing fees. Months after the filing was completed and Andrea's part was done I received a garnishment from the treasury department for a previous debt which was included in my bankruptcy, but not discharged by the treasury. Andrea was able to look into this matter for me, resolve it and have my garnished funds returned to me. I would recommend Ms. Andrea Cartwright to anyone seeking legal assistance in her area of specialty. But only if you want to be treated very kindly, professionally, promptly and thoroughly.

I recently bought a small virtual server (OpenVZ, 128mb memory, 256mb burstable) for web hosting. I knew that it would be a challenge to work with limited memory, especially since OpenVZ doesn't swap like Xen. For starters, I went with a 32-bit minimal Debian setup, because 64-bit pointers use twice as much memory as 32-bit pointers. Apache was also out of the picture, but Lighttpd easily filled the role. MySQL was also heavily tweaked to limit resource usage. All in all, I had a happy little system that used 60mb-100mb of memory.

It's been a while since I've done this, but I think it's time for another cleanup! Recently, I almost wiped the wrong database when switching between blog and bleeding-edge code. Yes, I know I was silly, and I believe the time has come to separate blogging from experimentation.
The blog will continue to be accessible at this address, while the experiments are now to be conducted at Area 51. As projects mature, they may be migrated here or simply redirected, resources permitting. The other homepage is still quite young and boring, but there will be all sorts of goodness.
Thanks for your continued readership!

Maus A bike lane in Portland, US, has been vandalised with a selection of bananas, mushrooms, boost arrows and stars from Nintendo's smash hit game series, Mario Kart. Portland's cycling community is large, with the highest percentage of bicycle commuters in any major American city, tripling since 2001. However, one member of that community is clearly a prankster and a videogames fan.No one has claimed responsibility for the graffiti, but the city hasn't said anything about removing it, either. In fact, the cycling community has responded warmly. One resident told BikePortland.org: "I'm sure this is very illegal. As I pedal home from work, though, I find it engaging and humorous. Would motorists similarly decorate their lanes? I suspect not -- this good-natured vandalism is a sign that bikers take pride in their bike lanes and the biking community we've created."Enjoy local TV news station KATU-TV's bemused response in the video above.

It's a shame to hear Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge is out for the season with a hip injury. He's a deserving All-Star this year who you can rarely say doesn't bring it every night. Unless you're a fan of train wrecks or car crashes (or pick your own careening metaphor) he was the best thing about Portland this season, and especially after he missed time in December after heart surgery. Durant told him to get well soon on Twitter and we echo it … Elsewhere in the NBA Klay Thompson was dealing in Oakland for Golden State, but Dallas — even as big of a head-case team as it's been — was head-and-shoulders better. The Mavs had 38 bench points in the first half. Thompson finished with 24, along with seven boards and eight steals and David Lee had 30. Brandan Wrigh took advantage of every time he got Thompson on him by going to the post in the first half. He had 16 and Dirk got 27 … Highlight of the game out west was Roddy Beaubois' guard-from-guard oop from Jason Kidd (with a ho-hum nine points, 10 boards, 12 assists). … We're out like C.J. Watson.

Rated 4 out of 5�by g_ruetten Not for Low to Flat Arch My only complaint about this shoe is I will inevitably have to buy a pair of inserts for them. In my opinion there is not enough support through the arch of the foot. My feet actually cramp during workouts. Otherwise, great low-cut design and the flexibility is fantastic! For someone with a normal arch they would be perfect! April 16, 2014

Calvin Johnson, the freakishly talented wideout for the Detroit Lions, has won the fan vote to grace the Madden NFL '13 cover.
Mr. Johnson edged out Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (52% to 48%; 651,000 votes) to take home the honor.
"Megatron" has had a pretty great spring. He signed an 8-year, $132 million deal ($60 million guaranteed) with the Lions last month. That contract made him the highest paid receiver on the planet and came on the heels of his 96-catch, 1,681-yard, 16 touchdown performance in 2011.
His talent, along with an improved defense and QB Matthew Stafford, took the '11 Lions to their first playoff appearance in a dozen years.
Last year's cover athlete was running back Peyton Hillis, formerly of the Cleveland Browns. He's now an employee of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Charles Dickens
Mrs. Pocket believes herself to be of upper-class lineage and spends most of her time reading books about titles and nobility. The entire household is in the hands of the servants, who take advantage of the confusion by keeping the best food downstairs for themselves. The Pockets married young, which impaired Mr. Pocket's prospects at Cambridge where he had distinguished himself early in his life. He now works tutoring young men and doing some literary editing. The other two men studying with Mr. Pocket are Bentley Drummle and Startop. Dinner reveals the interactions in the household, which is general chaos, and Pip decides to split his time between the Pockets' Hammersmith home and Herbert's flat. Pip takes up rowing on the Thames with the other gentlemen in the house. He finds Startop to be a bright lively fellow, if a bit effeminate, and Drummle to be rather distasteful. Miss Havisham's toady relatives, Camilla Pocket and her husband, visit Matthew Pocket, and Pip notes that Camilla, Georgiana, and Sarah hate him. Mr. Pocket tells Pip that he is not destined for training in any profession, but is to be educated to hold his own in the company of prosperous young men.
A visit to Jaggers' office for money introduces Pip to Jaggers' way of dealing with people. Wemmick tells Pip that the two plaster face casts in the office are of former clients of Jaggers, made after they were hanged. Wemmick points out that his rings are gifts from former clients, also deceased, who gave them to Wemmick to remember them by. He considers them "portable property." Pip is invited to join Wemmick at his Walworth home some time and is advised to take note of Jaggers' housekeeper when Pip dines with the attorney. The housekeeper is described as "a wild beast tamed." Pip then accompanies Wemmick to court to see Jaggers "at it," intimidating both court magistrates and clients and "grinding the whole place in a mill."
Pip dines with Wemmick one evening at his Walworth home, where he meets Wemmick's father, referred to as the Aged Parent. He also meets a totally different Wemmick. At his home, the law clerk is gentle with his father, open, caring and warm — the opposite of his law-office demeanor. Wemmick's home is his castle, complete with a moat, a bridge, a turret, and a cannon to fire every night at nine o'clock. He has his own garden, a pig, and some rabbits and chickens, and continues to invent and improve on devices in his home and yard. Pip learns that Wemmick keeps the two parts of his life very separate. This is evident as the two men walk to London the next day, and Pip notes that as they went along Wemmick "got dryer and harder . . . and his mouth tightened into a post-office again."
Dickens' pen of satire strikes again, both at parents' abuse of their children and the class structure of society. Mrs. Pocket is useless, ornamental, and absorbed in reading about her grandfather's "almost" title. She is oblivious to caring for her children, who fall on their heads, swallow pins, and endure other almost calamities. Mrs. Pocket is put out when a neighbor writes that the nurse was striking the baby and wishes the neighbors would mind their own business. Mr. Pocket alternates between wondering why his children are there and melting into giving them all money. His children just sort of "happened" and he is not in control enough to meet any of their emotional needs.

Megan Khang from Rockland, Massachusetts posted a final round 69 to win the seventeenth Faldo Series Grand Final by two shots at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, USA. It was triple success for the U.S. as Zachary Bauchou and Brad Dalke won the Boys' Under-18 and 16 titles respectively.
"I did not know I was the first girl winner until I reached the green. I knew about Yani Tseng but thought she must have won the whole thing, it hasn't really sunk in yet, to be one of only three American girls competing against all these great players from around the world, it is cool."
"This is a truly historic moment as we crown our first ever female champion and our first ever American winner," commented Sir Nick Faldo. "Megan joins a roster of international champions that includes multiple Major winners Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng."
"It is thanks to the support of Jim Justice and The Greenbrier that we were able to bring the Faldo Series to America for the first time and our Major partners; The R&A; The European Tour; ISPS Handa and the PGA Tour. Without them we could not have brought this level of opportunity to 99 competitors from 19 different nations this week and to more than 7,000 young people in 30 countries worldwide each year.
Overnight leader Paul Kinnear of England, 19, who started one ahead of Khang, carded a 72 to finish in outright second and win the Boys' Championship. 20-year-old Michaela Gasplmayr (Girls Under-21) held off a late challenge from former winner Sophie Keech and England's Annabel Dimmock to become the first Austrian to win a Faldo Series title.
Faldo Series Champions Khang and Kinnear will be offered a start in a professional Tour event. They will also be invited by Faldo to the eighth Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in China next March, as will Bauchou, Dalke and Gasplmayr.
Off the course players aged 12 to 22 received expert advice from Faldo's personal coach Keith Wood, experts from TrackMan and sports psychologist Dr Gio Valiante at the new Faldo Golf Centre. Faldo was on hand all week to spend time with the competitors, including several clinics and Q&A sessions. On Wednesday the former world number one teamed up with PGA of America Board Member Suzy Whaley for a Q&A session with players and a grass-roots clinic with local school children.
Supported by The R&A, The Greenbrier, ISPS Handa, European Tour, PGA Tour, PGA of America, West Virginia Golf Association, TaylorMade, Golf Channel and CBS the 2013 Faldo Series Europe schedule features a record 20 tournaments in 15 countries including six in England plus others in Ireland, Abu Dhabi, Chile, the Czech Republic, Scotland, Austria, Wales, Brazil, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, Greece and the USA.
Established in 1996, 40 Faldo Series tournaments now take place in 30 countries worldwide with more than 7,000 golfers participating each year. Past winners include Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng.
In September 2014, Faldo will begin taking students at a full-time residential academy for education and golf development in America. The first ever Faldo Series Academy in Casa Grande, Arizona marks another significant step in the programme's history.

|State baseball pairings have been released
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 13 May 2009 09:05
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association has released the baseball pairings for the state playoffs that begin on Friday night.
The Watauga High baseball team (17-7, and regular-season champions in the Northwestern 4A Conference) will open the state playoffs at home against Weddington (11-12, and the No.5 seed from the Southwestern 4A Conference). It's the first meeting ever between the schools. Senior Jon Sharpe (7-2) will get the starting nod, his first start in more than a week-and-a-half. The Warriors, coached by Travis Poole and who lost to Butler in the opening round of the SW4A tournament after blowing a 6-2 lead, aren't shy about scoring runs. They are averaging six runs-per-game, they've hit 23 home runs, including three grand slams. Brad Collins is their best hitter. He had two home runs and six RBI in a win against South Mecklenburg this season. Clay Thresher is their best pitcher. He threw a complete-game, 10-inning victory against Providence, handing the Panthers, the regular-season champions in the SW4A, their first and only loss in league play. They have scored ten runs or more four times this year, which includes a season-high 17-run explosion against Sun Valley. The biggest problem with this team has been pitching. Case in point, the Warriors scored 45 runs in their first four games this season, but they were 2-2 during that stretch. And they've also given up ten runs or more in a game three times. They've also had problems winning the close games, exemplified by their 4-7 record in one-run games. Our coverage begins at 6:25 pm Friday night on 100.7, MAC-FM.
In all, the NW4A received six playoff berths. The other match ups finds the No.2 seed and five time NW4A tournament champion South Caldwell (19-4) entertaining Berry Academy (5-15) at home on Friday night. Berry Academy is the No.3 seed from the Queen City 3A/4A Conference; McDowell (16-6), the No.3 seed, travels to Myers Park (18-8), the No.2 seed and the SW4A tournament champion, on Friday. A.C. Reynolds (13-9), the No.4 seed, travels to East Gaston (10-11), the No. 2 seed from the Big South 3A/4A Conference. East Burke (12-9) and Alexander Central ( 8-13) both received wildcard berths. The Cougars open up at Northwest Guilford (19-3) on Friday night. The Cavaliers are just up the road at West Forsyth (14-7).

Companion forum thread to:Sandals for Summer Backpacking
Edited by takrill on 09/25/2014 05:14:24 MDT.
Hi Steven,Would you agree that you are warning against footwear with minimal heels rather than sandals as such?
Hundreds of backpacking miles covered in my Tevas. Great!
Nice article Chris. I enjoyed your first time sandal experience "I wore the boots in camp for warmth, as it was often frosty, but I walked the whole route in sandals,.." Too funny.I would like to know what sandal takrill wore. I have only heard of Achilles tendon problems w/ poor footwear be it boot or sandal.I do 3 season 30F-110F backpacking in sandals (teva terra fi2), but I'm not very stylish. I always wear a sock (or 2 in the cold). In the hot summer, I have on a thin coolmax sock. This maintains a comfortable microclimate where my feet stay dry but don't crack-- even on hot 20 mile days on granite. W/o socks, my feet would be sweaty on the bottom. The socks keep the sweat wicked out. And another bonus of socks is NO stinky sandals. And socks greatly minimizes scratches from underbrush. I also don't need sunscreen on the feet.A weird affect of the terra fi2 is my heel callous got softer. When I use to backpack in teva hurricane 2's, I built up quite the heal callous. But it softened up in the past couple of years w/ the terrafi2. Maybe it's my middle-age skin changing; I don't know; but it's quite the coincidence. Also, with a little different experience than yours, I have found my terrafi2's to have much better ankle support than my trail runners. In fact I find it harder to twist my ankles in my terrafi2's than trail runners. My theory is--- the teva's have wider foot beds and when cinched tight (not too tight!), your whole leg has to roll before the ankle rolls. My feet stay surprisingly warm backpacking at 30F when I have on a coolmax sock and a wool sock over that. And then in camp, I don the down bootie. That's another advantage of sandals (at least Teva's)--- there's enough length in the straps to accommodate any thickness of socks and foot swellings. That means my down bootie won't be squished.There's 26 more advantages to sandals. I won't list them here, but I listed them at: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=14916&skip_to_post=111392#111392May everyone find their foot zen.-Barry
Edited by takrill on 09/25/2014 05:15:23 MDT.
I'm another one with a couple of thousand miles in sandals - mine are Chaco Z1s. My backpacking experience with sandals has been gradual. I first got the idea from Chris Townsend's manual but at the time it seemed esoteric and far fetched. Five years ago I purchased my Chacos. First it was just short road walks; then well groomed urban trails; then a series of progressively rougher hikes to the point where I now will walk almost anywhere in sandals. This is not to say that I never experience difficulties. There can be sore points at times, and I have had the problem of cracked heels during a long walk. All of these things can be effectively managed. The recent article outlining foot care with sandals is excellent. Most of my hiking is in eastern Canada, and I have used sandals from mid April to early December. Clearly sandals are not meant for winter use; nevertheless I've been caught out once or twice by unexpected snow falls, and have made out alright with thin Goretex type liner socks. I would certainly not recommend that anyone embark on a long or strenuous walk in sandals without having thoroughly accustomed or adapted their feet to the foot ware. It takes some time. In my experience, simply strapping on a brand new pair of sandals and tearing off on a thirty mile walk is a recipe for disappointment, if not disaster. It's refreshing to be able to discuss sandal backpacking without being branded an outright loon. Cheers
Chris, thanks for the humor and insight in your article!Hey, all-- First, footwear, like everything else we use, is highly subjective and personal. I just wanted to add my own perspective on the foot problem comments. About ten years ago I started having severe back problems, to the point of not being able to stand up straight. Horrible. Much evaluation, etc, and ultimately ended up with custom orthotics. I basically haven't had problems since (if feet are out of whack, then ankles are, then knees, then hips, then back...). That said, I can't fit those orthotics in/on most sandals, and there are virtually no sandals with high arch support (not even Chacos). I have some oddball Birkenstocks that are great around town, but definitely not for the trail. What I'm getting at is that sandals can be great if you don't need significant arch support--but not everyone can pull them off. I can't say I'd recommend hiking 10 or 15 miles the first time I tried them out...
Just to echo the sentiment about sandals and socks. A few years ago I did a few backpack trips here in the desert in Arizona in sandals. With no socks or thin socks my feet dried and cracked. I needed medium weight wool socks to keep that from happening. My feet may have adapted after more sandal wear but I went back to trail runners. There are a lot of stickers in the desert and they'd get stuck to my socks when I wore sandals.
I would love to hike in sandals, but getting stuff in the sandal has kept me from trying. I hate it when I get rocks/dirt/sand/the occasional stick caught up in my sandals, and since I wear fully toed sandals, I have to stop to get it out.I have been wearing a pair of Keen and a pair of Merrell, both with fully enclosed toes, and I love them. Both would be well suited to hiking, but it's the stuff in the sandal that keeps me from going out and actually trying it.Perhaps I'll throw on my pack and take a couple of day hikes to better gauge my stuff in the sandal fear and see if it's fear, or well placed skepticism.
"…or well placed skepticism."Chris,It is well placed skepticism. For the sandals you have, plan on always picking up stuff. It's a pain. Closed-in-toe sandals are a hassle in a lot of ways.My open-toe sandals are one size big so that extra 3/8" length is enough to protect stubbing toes. When I wore teva hurricane 2 sandals, about once/hr I got a pebble underneath the foot. In stride I was able to flick it out with a finger. This is sooo much faster than dumping that problem pebble out of a shoe. Still the sandal was so comfortable this was not a hassle to me. I thought this was natural with sandals. Then I got the Terrafi2. I didn't pick up near as many pebbles! Sometimes I went all day w/o picking up sticks/rocks. This is because when the sandal is cinched tight (for walking) and combined with the lip already embedded on this type of sandal, gunk had a hard time getting in.Just something to think about…-Barry
I've tried hiking in sandals and while I found them plenty supportive and very comfortable, it was very irritating getting small pebbles and such in the sandal. These seemed to always make themselves to the very middle of the sandal and it was hard for me to just kick them out, I often had to stop and loosen the straps to get the pebbles out. If it was only occasionally, like every 30 minutes or so I wouldn't mind it, but for me it was literally every 5 minutes or so. This was with various brands (Teva, Chacos, etc).I'm wondering if it has something to do with the way I walk, maybe I kick up stuff more than others. My wife certainly doesn't seem to experience the same problem.
I had blown out my large toe nail one day and decided to hike in my Tevas. Solved the toe nail problem and gave me another: plantar fascitis. I still have to deal with my heels from that hike a few years ago. The funny thing is the sandals were comfortable to hike in. I think I had socks on. They were just plain old Tevas. I am sure the sandals listed in the article are more substantial than the ones I was wearing.I will still wear sandals if I am fishing and have to go a small distance to my next rest stop or camp. For long hking days I have given up on the idea of sandals.
Daniel,It may well be the way you walk! While hiking with my wife the other day, I couldn't help but notice that every hundred yards or so poor Mary would be picking and flicking stuff out of her sandals, while this happened very rarely to me. I know for a fact that she tends to move along without raising her feet much - as little clearance as possible - and is always kicking and stubbing her toes on sticks and pebbles, some of which end up in her sandals. It must be aggravating as hell. I'm certainly not trying to tell you how to walk but . . . . . Cheers
"I had blown out my large toe nail one day and decided to hike in my Tevas. Solved the toe nail problem and gave me another: plantar fascitis. I still have to deal with my heels from that hike a few years ago"Hello Scott,Sovling nail problems is great.Any footwear can cause plantar fascitis. And that takes months to heal. It sounds like the sandal arch was not at all matched up with your arch. That is critical. That is why most sandals don't fit me. I've tried about 2 dozen. I like having a backstrap in sandals. I just have to set this once in a lifetime and that is what centers my arch on the sandal arch. Also, a lot of heel problems are solved with some nice cushy in the sole.May everyone find their foot zen.-Barry
"Sovling nail problems is great."Barrry,I have found that nail problems for me come when I have loose shoes. I like them loose. However, when I am doing long steep descents I tie my shoes much tighter than normal and don't lose nails anymore.On my last trip I took Crocs. While I liked the weight savings over Tevas I hated them in the streams when fishing. Also, too squishy for any type of hiking.
I've hiked (backpacked) hundreds of miles in teva wraptors with socks. This year I was hiking between fifteen and twenty miles a day, though I've done thirty-three. I always hike in the northeast where the going is usually quite wet. Shoes never dry. They also always give me blisters; sandals don't. I now wear my sandals with injinji wool toe socks, which is perfect. I take the socks off at camp and let everything dry. My feet do great, no blisters, no sore spots.One exception was that my heels got bruised this year from slipping between rocks, but I think this would have happened if I had worn trail runners too.The only disadvantage I have, that I can see, is that I sometimes ruin my socks.
>>On my last trip I took Crocs. While I liked the weight savings over Tevas I hated them in the streams when fishing. Also, too squishy for any type of hiking.I hiked 6 miles in Crocs when I first bought them, only because I didn't have my Tevas to do so. It wasn't all that bad. Those were the old clogs. I now have a pair of the new sandals. These have straps similar (but not exactly) like the Tevas. They are much more comfortable because the straps don't dig into my feet.I've had multiple different pairs of Tevas and it seems they are all different, wear different and feel different.I had heard a pod cast with Chris on Backpacking Light (Europe) and he said he only took one pair of shoes, no camp shoes. I said that's for me. That's what I'm striving for. And with my Montrail Continental Divides, I'm there.
I started wearing Chaco Z1s after a hundred miles or so on a AT thru hike. I was trashing my toe nails in my running shoes and switched to give them a break. I have never looked back at shoes since. I have hiked in all types of weather (read winter in Minnesota) and have been happily hiking down the trail. The only problem I have ever encountered, was a new snow fall. Build up of snow under the toes is inevitable.

Good pitching by Chayse Tracy, timely hitting, and great defense led the Borger Bulldogs to a 5-2 win over the Pampa Harvesters in the District 1-3A finale for both teams.
Entering the game, the Bulldogs and Harvesters knew Friday night would not be the last time the teams would get to take the field for the 2012 season. But a lot was at stake in Pampa, as the winner of the would claim the district's number two seed and win the season series between the longtime rivals.
The start of the game proved to be a solid pitcher's battle as both teams would come up with just one hit each through the first three innings.
In the top of the fourth inning, Borger senior Max Lusk got on base off a single to center field.
Two batters later Clay Ellis put the ball in play, which led to a Pampa throwing error. The error led to giving Lusk the opportunity to race around the bases and slide into home plate for the first run of the game.
The Lusk and Ellis combination struck again in the top of the sixth inning, as Lusk hit his third single of the game before being brought in on a RBI double by Ellis to make it a 2-0 score.
Through the first six innings, the Harvesters only reached past second base one time, due to good defense and the pitching effort by Tracy.
In the seventh inning, the Bulldogs were able to add three insurance runs off a RBI single by Grant Boren and a two RBI single by Colten Hunter.
Despite keeping Pampa scoreless through six innings, those three insurance runs in the seventh inning proved to come in handy, as Pampa tried to put together a late rally by scoring two runs off a solo home run and a RBI single.
Tracy pitched all seven innings giving up two runs on five hits, while striking out six batters.
The win by the Bulldogs allowed them to finish district play with a 6-3 record, while Pampa finished with a 5-4 mark.
The Bulldogs will open the 3A playoffs by taking on the Levelland Lobos in the Bi-District playoff round. The site and times of the game were to be determined as of press time Saturday morning.
Borger 000 101 3-5 10 1
Pampa 000 000 2-2 5 1
2B: Ellis. RBI: Boren, Hunter 2, Ellis 2.
W.-Tracy and Dillard.

I've seen a lot of westerns, but I've seen few like this one. At first
I thought it was a comedy or a parody. It starts off with what has to
be the most mind-numbingly awful "theme" song in motion picture history
by an off-key singer who stumbles over his words, actually loses his
place once--why they didn't just re-record it is beyond me--and not a
single line of this opus rhymes. Then a short, chubby, beer-bellied
"gunslinger" standing on top of a large boulder calls out some guy
walking his horse (!), gets shot for his trouble, slides down the
boulder, and in the next shot his body is lying at least 25 feet from
it--and it's on flat land! Then, although I didn't think it was
possible, the film goes downhill from there. Everybody laughs
hysterically all through the movie: the bad guys, the saloon girls, and
especially the leader of the bad guys, who has apparently ingested a
year's supply of laughing gas because he can't stop roaring with
laughter, even as he's shooting everybody within eyesight--civilians,
cowboys he meets on the trail, women he's just raped, his own men . . .
you name 'em, this guy shoots 'em. And, of course, he does so without
reloading his pistol; at one point he fires at least 12 rounds in a row
from a six-shot revolver. What's even more hysterical is that he's
wearing a hat that is at least two sizes too small for him. It was only
after about 15 minutes of watching this atrocity that it finally sunk
in that this was NOT a parody or a comedy. The people who made this
stinkeroo actually thought they were making a "serious" western.
Another curious thing about this movie is the dubbing. We all know that the English dubbing of Italian movies of the time, whether westerns or Hercules-type epics, was atrocious beyond belief, and this one carries on that noble tradition. But even star Cameron Mitchell's voice is dubbed, and not by Mitchell, which is very odd. What's even odder is that Mitchell is obviously speaking English but the English lines the dubber speaks don't match Mitchell's lip movements, which makes no sense at all. But neither does anything else in this relentlessly stupid, senseless idiocy (wait until you get a load of the "masked avenger" who shows up about a quarter of the way through this thing). The "action" scenes are laughable, the cinematography is terrible--it looks like it was shot on an 8mm home movie camera--the "script" is something even Ed Wood would have been too embarrassed to put his name on, the "acting" wouldn't pass muster in a one-day-wonder porn flick. In other words, this movie is not only worthless, it's BEYOND worthless. Shoving your head into a drill press wouldn't be as painful as having to sit through this thing. Don't waste your time.

Pygmy Panda!
CNN reports that a skull was found of a smaller giant panda.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The first skull of the earliest known ancestor of the giant panda has been discovered in China, researchers report.
Discovery of the skull, estimated to be at least 2 million years old, is reported by Russell L. Ciochon in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Ciochon, an anthropologist at the University of Iowa, and a team of U.S. and Chinese researchers, made the find in a limestone cave in south China.
The animal, formally known as Ailuropoda microta, or "pygmy giant panda," would have been about three feet long, compared to the modern giant panda, which averages in excess of five feet (1.52 meters).
Previously this animal had been known only by a few teeth and bones, but a skull had never been found.
Judging by the wear patterns on its teeth it also lived on a diet of bamboo, the main food of the current giant panda, the researchers said.
Other than size, the animal was anatomically similar to today's giant panda, said Ciochon.
The work was funded by the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation and University of Iowa.

Earliest Panda Skull Reveals Bamboo-Eating "Pygmy"
Scott Norris
for National Geographic News
June 18, 2007
A fossil skull representing the earliest known species of panda has been discovered in China, researchers report.
The find shows that small-bodied, "pygmy" ancestors of the modern giant panda were present in the forests of southern China at least two to three million years ago.
The prehistoric panda's teeth and jaw indicate that the species, Ailuropoda microta, was already adapted to a diet of bamboo, just like the black-and-white giant panda of today, according to experts who examined the fossil.
Skull features also indicate that the early panda may have been remarkably similar to its endangered present-day descendents—but only about half the size. (Related: "Panda Sanctuary in China Named World Heritage Site" [July 18, 2006].)
"One can call the fossil species the 'pygmy giant panda,'" said Russell Ciochon of the University of Iowa. "It really is a miniaturized version of the living giant panda."
A few fossil teeth from A. microta had previously been found, but the creature's size remained a mystery until now. The first complete skull provides a far richer picture of the bear's biology, Ciochan said.
A team led by Changzhu Jin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing found the skull embedded in the wall of a limestone cave in China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The report by Jin, Ciochon, and colleagues appears in today's online edition of the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Bamboo Chewers
Although giant pandas are technically classified as carnivores, the animals are unique among bears in having adopted an entirely vegetarian diet.
The new fossil proves that pandas' dietary preference for bamboo evolved quite early, Ciochon said.
"The panda lineage has been evolving for several million years totally separated from their traditional bear ancestry," he added.
Specialized adaptations to bamboo feeding include strong jaws and robust teeth for grinding down tough plant material.
Modern giant pandas also have a "false thumb" that allows them to strip the leaves off bamboo stalks. Ciochon is hopeful that additional fossils will reveal whether the pygmy giant panda had the same unusual adaptation.
"It is very much needed to eat bamboo," Ciochon said. "If this was a committed bamboo eater early on, one would expect [the false thumb] adaptation was evolving."
Another species, the raccoon-like animal known as the red panda, also has a false thumb. But genetic studies have shown that the two "pandas" are not closely related, with only the giant panda classified among the bears.
Mauricio Antón, of Spain's National Museum of Natural Sciences, in Madrid, has studied the separate evolution of the false thumb adaptation in red and giant pandas.
Antón said the new skull "is an important discovery that fills a gap in our knowledge of the evolution of the lineage leading to the extant giant panda."
Scientists have long debated the exact classification of pandas because of their mix of bear- and raccoon-like features, Antón said.
"The intermediate features of the new fossil further confirm the giant panda's place in the bear lineage, completely separated from the red, or lesser, panda."
A Pygmy Among Giants
The discovery of the pygmy giant panda fossil shows that body size in the panda lineage has shifted back and forth over evolutionary time. A more recent ancestor, living less than a million years ago, was larger than the giant pandas of today.
Pandas have also shifted their range in response to the enormous environmental changes over the past three million years.
"When the [past] ice ages were occurring in northern China, the distribution of bamboo moved southward, as did the giant panda," study co-author Ciochon said.
The moist tropical forest favored by the pygmy giant panda was also home to other early relatives of creatures alive today.
The diminutive panda lived side-by-side with the stegodon, a 13-foot-tall (4-meter-tall) ancestor of mammoths and elephants.
Also present was Gigantopithecus, a giant ape two to three times larger than the modern gorilla.
Today only a few thousand giant pandas persist in the wild, in upland bamboo forests isolated by rugged mountains in China's Sichuan Province.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville is honoring JT Townsend in a big way this week and it's all to keep his legacy alive.
The celebration of his life will be a part of the season opener for the Jaguars this weekend. Three months ago, JT passed away at age 26.
On Wednesday, Episcopal High School honored Townsend during chapel in an effort to inspire this year's student body.
"You may have seen his picture or his jersey hanging in the Buck Center, but you never really met him," said Ryan Riggs, Director of College Counseling at Episcopal High School.
The special service at Episcopal High told the 2005 graduate's life story. Despite becoming paralyzed after an injury during a high school football game in 2004, Townsend made helping others his mission in life.
"JT knew that he had to start giving back more to support the community that supported him when he needed it the most," said Riggs.
Townsend started the JT Townsend Foundation, which aims to improve the lives of people with disabilities. This year, he graduated from the University of North Florida which was one of the happiest days for Carmen Townsend, JT's mom.
"We miss his love, we miss, we miss JT and our hearts are hurting, but we are just praying that God just helps us through this," said Carmen Townsend, JT's mother.
Now, the team he loved will honor his life at the first game of the season.
"I can just see him smiling and saying 'all this, look at this momma, look at this,'" said Carmen Townsend.
Jaguars game tickets purchased through the Give and Go program will give a portion of the proceeds to the foundation to continue the work JT started. The foundation is also selling the special edition game day shirts on its website for $15.

The Royal Collection's First Book for Children: Does The Queen Wear Her Crown in Bed?
In this 32-page book, illustrated by Katy Sleight, a footman guides two children around the Palace. All images are The Royal Collection 2011 © Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Does The Queen wear her crown in bed and who walks the corgis when shes busy? Those are the sort of details children really want to know about life at
Buckingham Palace
Inspired by the many questions that children have asked her, Marion McAuley, a former Head of Education at the Royal Collection, decided to provide the answers in the Royal Households first childrens book about The Queens London home.
In this 32-page book, illustrated by Katy Sleight, a footman guides two children around the Palace, showing them some of its rooms and explaining The Queens most important duties and what you should do if you meet her.
The children find crowns all over the Palace on picture frames, on ceilings and even on uniforms worn by staff. They discover which crown The Queen wears on stamps and that it has 1,333 diamonds in it. They throw balls for some of The Queens dogs, which are walked by footmen when she is hard at work, and find out what their names are. They also have tea in the Palace garden, where they discover that 45,000 sandwiches are eaten at summer Garden Parties.
Mrs McAuley said, The inspiration for the title and indeed much of the content comes from the real questions we are asked by children. We hope the book will help them understand better how Buckingham Palace functions as a home, an office and a palace.
Jemima Rellie, Director of Publishing and New Media at the Royal Collection, said, Children perhaps more than any other age group are fascinated by kings and queens, but most of the information that is readily available to them is fiction. We hope this book will complement these other offerings by showing children what the real Queen does today.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britains sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarchy. Its hundreds of rooms include 19 State Rooms, 52 royal and guest rooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. The building is 108 metres long across the front, 120 metres deep and 24 metres high.
Although used for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen and members of the Royal Family, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.

Really nice figure. For her size, her paintjob is really well made. The only thing I would discuss is her eyes. While most of her figures match her anime blue eyes, this one has a very thin blue paint making her eyes look black. But overall a nice cheap figure. I can't wait to display her with the POP "Sailing Again".

Amidst the DC Nation panels and Hollywood premieres at WonderCon, there was the Comics Arts Conference, a separate entity that aims to take a more scholarly look at our favorite genre subjects. "Life After Trauma: To Be A Superhero Or Supervillain" was an in-depth look at some of our favorite comic book characters and the tragic events that spawned their careers. Led by Andrea Letamendi, M.S. ABD, the panel consisted of two other accredited psychologists with interest in comics, Robin S. Rosenberg, PHD and Travis Langley, PHD.
"We're constantly seeing these characters in the face of danger, under threat," said Letamendi. "How is this affecting them? How do these events have an impact on their development? And why aren't they developing some serious pathological problems like PTSD? So we think about what they're facing, the loss, injury, death and we wonder, they're going to be experiencing fear, horror, do they get broken? How do they endure all this stress and violence and still carry on and persevere?"
Head on over to Newsarama to read the thoughts about this subject with the experts and see if your thoughts about our favorite heroes and villains match up.

With Bakkies Botha ruled out of the third Test this weekend after receiving a two week ban for his dangerous charge on Adam Jones in Pretoria, the Boks need to find a partner for Victor Matfield. Bekker has replaced Botha in both Tests to date, but might not be fit by Saturday.
That's why South African coach Peter de Villiers has called-up Sharks skipper Johan Muller to provide cover for the third Test. Anothere candidate for second row duty, Danie Rossouw, was carried off with concussion after colliding with Brian O'Driscoll moments after coming onto the field last weekend.
He will be assessed this week under the IRB protocol on concussion, as will O'Driscoll. The Springboks' other injury concerns, scrum half Fourie du Preez and centre Jean de Villiers, were both given the all clear after complaining of shoulder problems.

@ svyatoslav huk - Thanks for the feedback. While the replay was not viewable initially on Windows Phone, I hope you have noticed that after the initial day, we've been posting replays that are viewable via Windows Phone, including all of the videos I have linked in my posts.

One-column protein purification and native eukaryotic amino acid sequence
Quinn Lu John Bauer
Stratagene Cloning Systems, Inc.
The ESP LIC cloning and expression system features rapid and high-yield
production of recombinant proteins in yeast. This system uses
ligation-independent cloning (LIC) for efficient and directional cloning of PCR
products immediately downstream of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST)
purification tag and the recognition site for enterokinase. After expression and
single-column purification of the GST fusion protein, the purification tag can
be removed with enterokinase, which cleaves C-terminal to its recognition site,
producing polypeptides with completely native amino acid sequences.

Stratagenes ESP LIC cloning and expression system offers rapid and high-yield production of recombinant proteins in a eukaryotic organism. Because the system uses the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as the expression host, proteins undergo many of the posttranslational modifications that are often required for their biological activity. This system also features the new pESP-2 vector (figure 1), which retains all of the unique properties of the pESP-1 vector,1 such as tight transcriptional regulation by thiamine and high expression levels. The distinct advantage that the pESP-2 vector offers is efficient and directional LIC2-4 cloning of PCR products immediately downstream of a GST purification tag.
Cloning PCR products using the LIC strategy is so efficient that as little as
20 ng of PCR product is required for each cloning experiment. PCR-generated
sequence errors are minimized by using fewer amplification cycles (e.g., 15
