London attractions: GB Row 2013 set to entertain visitors this summer
Published: Monday 3rd of June 2013
The GB Row 2013 is well underway, providing plenty of much needed entertainment and things to do in London for visitors.
This is one of the most celebrated boat races in the country and every year it attracts a raft of ambitious new competitors hoping to beat the current finish record of 26 days, 21 hours and 14 minutes.
The GB Row Challenge has been described as one of the toughest rowing races in the world and attracts a prize of £100,000 for those who break the current world record, while the winning team gets to take home £15,000.
Eight rowing boats began the treacherous 2,000-mile journey around Britain all hoping to be crowned champions in this year's competition.
Many of those who are participating in the race are aiming to raise money for charity. The crews who embark upon this journey will certainly have their hands full and will go head-to-head with other rowers, dangerous tides and busy shipping lanes that are used by industrial fishing trawlers and car ferries.
The teams are made up of ordinary men and women throughout the country who put in arduous amounts of time, training and practice ahead of the big finale.
It is certainly an event not to be missed and if you plan to visit London over the next month or so, you may just catch glimpses of the rowers wading their way across the river Thames in anticipation of the £100,000 record-breaking prize.
But do you know what the great thing is? Not only do you get to watch one of the biggest boat races in the country - and possibly the world - you also get to take part!
Ok, ok if you don't quite fancy donning a wetsuit and battling it out with other rowers, then why not enjoy a leisurely Thames river cruise or embark upon a Jason's Canal Boat trip? Both tours will allow you to sit back, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city as you glide along the riverbank. So what are you waiting for?

%Response.redirect "http://alumni.princeton.edu/main/alumni_communities/"%>
Today, more than 160 regional associations represent Princeton in communities around the world. From the New York City metropolitan area, where about 10,000 alumni live, to Idaho/Montana, where there are just over 100 Princetonians, each association seeks the most effective way to link undergraduate and graduate alumni and their spouses, parents of students, prospective applicants and all interested members of the community, to the University.
The mission of all alumni organizations is to promote the interests and welfare of Princeton and its connection with the alumni, and to encourage association with Princeton through intellectual, volunteer and social activities. Regional associations are unique, however, in their ability to concentrate their activities in a given locale.
The University recognizes these special attributes by asking regional associations to help in very specific ways. Interviewing new students, providing career counseling for Princetonians and welcoming young alumni and parents into the Princeton family are all functions that rely on a broad range of experience being concentrated in a geographic area.
An effective regional association brings a strong Princeton presence to the community and, through its activity, comes to represent the University to a very broad audience.
Some of the projects Regional Associations undertake:

Corroios is a civil parish in the municipality of Seixal in the district of Setúbal, Portugal. It is part of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The population in 2011 was 47,661,[1] in an area of 17.11 km².[2] Corroios remains as the second most populous town in Portugal, after Algueirão-Mem Martins (note: this ranking includes only vilas [towns] and excludes cidades [cities]). The town is located on the south side of the Tagus River, opposite Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
Corroios has a lot of immigrants, mainly from Africa but also from Eastern Europe and Asia and one third of the population is below the age of 25 years old.
The oldest traces of human presence in the Corroios territory date from the Roman occupation and can be found in Quinta do Rouxinol.
In 1385 Almada, including a part of Corroios, was donated to D. Nuno Alvares Pereira, Constable of the Kingdom, by King João I. D. Nuno used his land in Corroios to create a farm and in 1403, he built the first mill of the municipality of Seixal.
The Corroios parish was founded in 1369, until then it was a part of the larger Almada that encompassed most of the current territories of Almada and Seixal.
During the Age of Discovery, this was an important loading area of shipments to Lisbon.
With the creation of the Municipality of Seixal on November 6, 1836, Corroios was extinct and merged into the Freguesia of Amora. Finally, on April 7, 1979, after a long period of almost 150 years, the Freguesia of Corroios was restored to an independent village.
On May 20, 1993, Corroios rose into a town.
Furthermore, Corroios has an important natural heritage; one such example being the Corroios Salt Marsh (Sapal de Corroios), which is integrated in the REN-National Ecological Reserve.
The parish has the following neighborhoods:
- Vale de Milhaços
- Alto do Moinho
- Santa Marta do Pinhal
- Miratejo
- Pinhal de Vidal
- Verdizela.
Sites of interests[edit]
- Roman site of Rouxinol
- Moinho de Maré de Corroios or Moinho do Castelo
- Fábrica de Pólvora de Vale de Milhaços or Fábrica da Pólvora Negra
Corroios has six primary schools, two secondary schools and one high school:

- Escola Básica 2º e 3º Ciclos de Corroios
- Escola Básica 2º e 3º Ciclos de Vale de Milhaços

Who cares. It's just a Toyota van.
Cheap 70's TV grade interior materials. Ewww.
looks bloated. at least it offers AWD. hate the new interiors of the toys. just like the venza, wont buy it because the interior is styled like crap. yes, it is more upscale than previous generation. but upscale =/= nicer looking in this instance
it looks very square...im not a fan of the fascia but the other is non-offensive. It looks better than the Chrysler minivans and the Odyssey. Just wondering how Kia will counter this since they are on such an upswing...

Then lemme see your boil times LOLFWIW I use a Windpro (MSR) and not a JB.

In another moment of madness I have been on that dreaded auction site and bought a Durst RCP50 paper processor (well it was only £38:21p):) I won't be getting it until next month......Anyone used one?
Cheers Dave
Hi Dave,
I haven't used the RCP50 but I have an RCP20 that I used regularly.
I think I saw that one on the website but was put off by the need to "collect only".
I have now got the RCP 50 allthough I haven't set it up yet...Any tips anyone?
Cheers Dave
I have a RCP 40 VS, so these tips are based on my experiece
Install and level.
Before turning on, check condition of rollers and gears. Try to move the gears of each module to see if they turn (they might be a little hard to move).
Next, fill all tanks with water. Don't put rollers in it yet. Check that there are no leaks, especially from the drain tubes. Turn it on (yes, without the rollers) and make sure the pumps are working and the motor is running (you should see the mechanical links where you connect the rollers rotating).
Check the temperature with a termometer in each tank. Do not trust the temperature scale in the knobs. It takes some time to get to the usual RA-4 temperatures (maybe 20 minutes).
There should be two buttons near the temperature knobs used to check if the working temperature has been reached or not. you may test it during this phase.
If everything works fine, turn it off and put the rollers into the processor. Now turn it on again and check that all rollers are moving.
You can try with a sheet of RC paper with emulsion side down. It may be a developed photo, just to check rollers are working fine.
Next, an important consideration. At least with the RCP 40, there where at least 3 models. One model did not have variable speed, another with variable speed and another with different tank sizes (a smaller one for Bleach/fix). So the important thing is to make sure you model can work fine with RA-4
If it has variable speed, then you shoud calibrate it so that developer time is correct (I think it is 45 seconds)
If you are going to process B&W remember that it works only for RC paper. Adjust temperatures and times according to your process.
The middle tank is for stop bath. Make sure you use stop bath and not water if you are going to use RA-4. Otherwise you may get color shifts.
The processor should have an inner cover for the tanks/rollers and the outher cover. Without the inner cover it won't be light proof.
Best of luck
Thanks fdisilvestro...Having read the manual your suggestions are good and valid. The baths are 11 litres dev, 2.2L stop and 7L blix.
My only concern is that I may have bought an oak tree when an acorn would have done!
Cheers Dave
I said...."My only concern is that I may have bought an oak tree when an acorn would have done!"
Today I managed to get 'The oak tree' onto a bench..Levelled it, removed rollers, filled with water..no leaks :) and turned it on. Pumps sprang into life and the 8 degree C water :o started to heat up. I didn't realise at first that the drive spindles were rotating until I wound the speed up but they were.
So so far all seems to be ok.....I then ran out of time to test it any further so haven't measured the final temperature against my digital thermometer yet.
The rollers are in good condition and can be manually rotated so it looks as though I may have a 'worker'
Cheers Dave
I forgot to mention that the drive spindles rotate very slow if adjusted for RA-4
If you are going to process color with RA-4, it is better to use the chemicals for Roller Transport processor (Kodak has the designation RT) since they will last longer than the chemicals made for minilabs (i.e. Kodak Prime SP).
Anyway, unless you process a lot of prints, it will be difficult to exhaust the chemicals before they turn bad from oxidation (11 lts. of developer is a lot)

For one thing, there are more than two months of competition, including the Masters 1000 in Shanghai in a month, an event he won during an autumn surge last season. In addition, there is the key event in Roger Federer's hometown of Basel plus the Paris Bercy Masters and the year-end championships in London, where Murray will be the home crowd hero.
"I don't think I have had the best year on the tour, no. I think the last few months have been great for me, but, you know, there is more to the tennis tour than just the Grand Slams," said Murray after overcoming Novak Djokovic in five sets in New York.
"Novak has played great tennis in most of the Masters Series, as well. Roger has got himself back to No. 1. It's important to remember the tennis season - it starts in January, finishes in November. There are four Slams, but there are also many other tournaments to get to No. 1 in the world - if you are No. 1 you deserve to be the player of the year."
That honor looks likely to go to Federer, whose six titles in 2012 lead the list. The Swiss is fast approaching his 300th career week atop the ATP points table.

I've got some muffin recipes which call for agave nectar, but don't have access to any (unless I wait for my mother to bring me some in December). From what I've read, for one cup of sugar, one would use 3/4 cup agave nectar. Would it follow, then, that, for example, 1/2 cup agave syrup could be replaced by roughly 2/3 cup sugar?
I'm assuming I may need to increase the moisture in the recipe, as well. Does that seem like a logical thought?

When I see agave to sugar conversions its more about the sweetness than baking function. I would convert to honey if the recipe taste allows, or I'd make a simple syrup to equal the liquid amount of the agave.

~60ml of additional liquid per 250ml of agave replaced with sucrose works as a good starting point. You may want to play with the leavening as well. Reduce or eliminate baking soda, increase or sub in baking powder. The soda/acidity interaction won't be there with sucrose unless there's something else in the recipe to provide it (sour cream, buttermilk, etc.). I'm usually going the opposite direction with this substitution but it's the same idea, just reversed. Of course you could just eliminate the hassle of adjustments and use honey as Rob suggested.
It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.

I have also used it very successfully in ice cream, gelato and ices.
I know it has been a couple of years since the message above was posted. Does anyone know how agave will affect the texture of ice cream, and what the ratio of agave to sugar will be for substitution? I really want to make some ice cream soon, but I am trying to cut back on sugar, and thought agave would be good since it is low on the glycemic index.

(Nov 18, 2008) One hundred countries have now signed a global treaty against doping in competitive sports. Paraguay signed the agreement on November 12, 2008, making it possible to reach that goal. The International Convention Against Doping in Sport, which was adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in October 2005, imposes rules, tests, and sanctions in cases of doping. The Convention came into force in on February 1, 2007, when it had been ratified by 30 countries. It advocates no-advance notice testing, both during and outside of competitions. In addition to its provisions designed to promote a consistent approach to testing, the pact encourages governments to restrict the supply of performance-enhancing substances and regulate dietary supplements.

Christian Homes of Abilene celebrates 50th anniversary
For Mark and Mindy Murray of Abilene, the 50th anniversary of Christian Homes & Family Services is deeply personal for one special reason — their daughter Kaelyn Murray, 4.
The organization culminated a yearlong anniversary celebration Tuesday with a ribbon-cutting and reception for area supporters and families.
Taylor County Judge Downing Bolls and Abilene City Councilman Anthony Williams were on hand to present proclamations from Taylor County and the city, respectively, at the agency's Abilene offices.
For the Murrays, it was the organization's reputation that drew them there.
"We had a couple in our church who had used Christian Homes and had gone through the process, and that's how they got their son," Mindy Murray said. "We wanted to adopt, and thought that it would be nice to not have to go out of town — that we could use an agency that was local here and has the same principles we have."
The Christian adoption center made the process "very quick," Mark Murray said.
"In July of 2008, literally two months after orientation, we came to the office to be united with Kaelyn," he said.
Sherri Statler, president of Christian Homes' West Texas office, said Abilene is "a community that supports life," meaning it has been incredibly supportive of adoption as an alternative to abortion.
"My opinion is that if you believe abortion is wrong, then you have to support adoption to provide young women an alternative — young women who for whatever reason are not prepared to be parents," she said.
For Statler, it's not just a concept.
"My daughter is adopted, and her birth mother is one of my heroes — she made a decision that I can't ever imagine having to make," she said.
Since the ministry began, Christian Homes has placed 1,849 children for adoption, while 1,562 children have been fostered, according to a statement from the organization
In addition, 2.504 young women with unplanned pregnancies have received free maternity care.
In a typical year, Christian Homes provides free maternity services to more than 70 women with unplanned pregnancies; provides private-home foster care to more than 30 children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected; and handles the adoptions of about 35 children.
The organization has its origins in a seven-member committee of Highland Church of Christ, who asked the church's members to open their homes to children who didn't have one.
Shortly after the committee began recruiting foster families, it was discovered that there as an equally great need for homes for young women with unplanned pregnancies.
For decades, Christian Homes & Family Services was known as Christian Homes of Abilene.
In 1990, the organization merged with an East Texas ministry also associated with the Churches of Christ, Christian Services of East Texas.
In 2006, the organizations began operating under the same assumed name, Christian Homes & Family Services, according to a news release.
The vast majority of the women who seek help from the agency are not married, Statler said.
"Our birth mothers, more than anything, want their children to have both a mom and a dad," she said. "And that's why they choose adoption."
Beth Pearce offered her two daughters, now 4 and 2, for adoption through Christian Homes.
"I was a single parent with no job, no home," Pearce said Tuesday. "I didn't have the means to take care of them."
But now, she said, it gives her great peace of mind to know that her children are taken care of and loved deeply.
"It's just about making sure that the children are taken care of and put in good, Christian homes," she said.
Dwaine and Margaret Johnson have been foster parents for 43 years.
Both said it's exceptionally beneficial to have a group like Christian Homes locally.
In Dwaine Johnson's opinion, "if there wasn't a place like Christian homes, there would be no place to go when the girls really need help."
"There would be a lot more abortions and a lot of these kids that are being adopted would not be around," he said.
Denise Lowry, who took in the adoption ministry's first foster child in 1963, agreed.
"There are a lot of children with no parents or bad parents that really need to be taken care of," she said. "You see it in the paper every day. It's just really sad, and there's really a need for them to be placed. And these girls who are desperate, it's important that they have a place to go."
Looking to the Future
The organization has changed in certain respects through the years, Statler said.
At one point, Christian Homes operated a group home, where young pregnant women could live in a group setting with house parents, she said.
"We realized we could do that better," Statler said.
Now, it offers mothers-to-be private apartments, with staff on site.
And these days, the organization focuses on not just preparing "a bright future" for the children it works with, but for the biological mothers, as well.
"We help (birth mothers) prepare for their life after they place their child for adoption," Statler said.
Many of the women who come to Christian Homes "have not really known really stable homes," she said.
"It's amazing to me how many don't know how to grocery shop and buy nutritious food," Statler said. "A lot of them don't know how to keep house. So we teach them some independent living skills, and we partner with other organizations in town such as FaithWorks (of Abilene) so that they can develop job skills and learn how to be successful in the workplace."
And many women who come to Christian Homes for help already are raising at least one child, Statler said.
"So we spend a good deal of time helping them be a good parent to the child they're raising," she said.
Foster care will remain a prime focus for the organization, Statler said.
"Too many children have to be removed from biological families — for one reason or another, their biological family has failed them," she said, whether it be through abuse, neglect or abandonment.
The organization, ideally, focuses on a "foster-to-adopt" approach, Statler said.
"We really focus on recruiting families who see it as an opportunity to eventually remove the child from the system and offer that child a Christian family forever," she said.

Going Swimming with Kids
|Related Pages
I swim laps at a public pool & sometimes see 2 very young kids who seem to be attached to the lifeguards. Usually the same kids, but the last time wondered if it was a different set. I've always seen an older boy (max 6-7yr) & girl (4-5 max). Of course lifeguards pay attention to them & they RUN around the pool area, kicking balls and chasing, & go in & out of the office. I wrote to the aquatics director, who sounded like he wanted to take care of the problem. But the ''resolution'' was that he determined that the kids didn't belong to the lifeguards, but to a patron who was swimming laps, and so he told his staff that the kids have to sit at the picnic table. I thought about it & still can't think of a way that it's ok, either from a parent's or city resident's perspective. The kids are there for minimum an hour (I'm in the pool longer than most others & theyre there before & after me). I can't imagine a little kid can sit still, unsupervised, for that length of time & I can't imagine that a lifeguard won't have to deal with them (e.g., the little one needs to pee, girl goes into the mens bathroom, they ''forget'' to stay at the table, or they fight). And though an emergency is unlikely, I can't think of a good outcome--including lawsuits, which residents would ultimately pay for. There is NO POSTED POLICY about kids, other than for free swimming: 7 & under must be w/ responsible person 13 or older (and this violates that). I'd love to bring my kids to the pool for free babysitting too, but it doesn't make sense to me, and I can't imagine anyone doing it w/o knowing the lifeguards. The aquatics director was offended that I questioned the wisdom/safety of allowing kids at the pool unsupervised. I think if the kids are really ok unsupervised, then they could either be on the playground right outside the pool, or if they really are capable of sitting quietly for an hour unsupervised, theyd also be ok right outside the pool fence in view of the pool. The director took personal offense at these ideas & was hostile to my concerns. Im thinking about safety/liability, both for kids &swimmers (who the lifeguards are hired to protect). Also, it seems discriminatory if only these kids are allowed in pool area while the parent swims. Its not like Id want to do it (not safe), but if were offering that service, I think we should offer it to everybody. Clearly. And make the rules clear. (And who enforces?) I love kids & am very familiar w/ challenges of balancing kids w/ exercise for mom&dad. So give me your opinion: Am I overreacting? Or should I refer this to the city attorney? janet
I do appreciate the straightforward, nonjudgemental responses on both sides of the question, which is what I was looking for and what this list is so great for. I was asking a question. There is a huge difference between asking a question and ''obsessing'' about it. We don't need to mindlessly throw out negative judgements of people who post questions. And those thoughtless responses to my question were mild compared to the nastiness I've seen in response to some other questions. Some of them make me embarrassed to be part of this list, and I feel so sorry for the person who posted the question.
Please be thoughtful in your responses, and consider how you and the other person would feel if you were saying those things face-to-face, possibly to your neighbor or colleague. Is it necessary to be so nasty? It is a little ironic that some of the flippant ''MYOB'' responses seem to relish digging into other people's business. It's enough to say ''I wouldn't worry about it'' w/o imagining some negative motivation of the poster. Many thanks to the thoughtful folks.
Pools are inherently dangerous places, and effective adult supervision, on multiple levels is required. My kids are good swimmers, but I always am there keeping an eye out, if not actually in the water.
Having been close to a family that has suffered this kind of tragedy, I would urge everyone to err on the side of caution. Dan

Those of you who know me personally know that I'm….um…. a "big" personality. I've been a professional singer, a public speaker, and done musical theater. As a result, I tend toward the flamboyant and glamorous. So why shouldn't my fall decorations reflect that?? (Or in other words, I couldn't make a "normal"- looking pumpkin topiary. I tried.)
If you like over-the-top, this pumpkin topiary is for you!
You'll need:
- 3 "Funkin" faux pumpkins in 3 sizes
- black feathers
- black satin ribbon
- glue-on gems
- black tulle
- hot-fix crystals and setter
- glue gun & LOTS of sticks
- glitter glue
- plastic spiders
- ….and whatever else YOU like!
I started by cutting strips of ribbon and hot-gluing them to the top and bottom of the largest pumpkin. I hot-glued the large rhinestones in a band around the middle.
Now, I got impatient and hot-glued all of my pumpkins together next. (My funkins have holes in the bottoms, so they were easy to stack. You might have to use a carving knife and cut your own holes, though.) I recommend, however, don't stack and glue them until you've decorated each one! I had to stand up and hot-fix crystals for an hour….just sayin…
But I digress. I added some black feathers between the bottom and middle pumpkins…and then added an "R" monogram to the middle one. (Monograms are still "hot" and oh-so-glam!) I just free-handed the "r", but you could use a stencil.
Also, in retrospect, I should have used black crystals on the monogram…but…live and learn. I "auditioned" a crystal sticker on the top pumpkin, but abandoned it in favor of scattered black hot-fix crystals. I also hot-glued some black tulle in between the top and middle pumpkins, adding a little "collar."
I finished up by adding glitter-glue "spiderwebs" on the middle pumpkin and added some little plastic spiders, and a stuffed crow on top.
To display, I plopped it on a resin urn and wrapped a maribou boa around it.
Over the top? Yes. Super "me?" You betcha.
What would YOU add to YOUR pumpkin topiary?

Connie Curlett, LIOS Psychology MA in Counseling
Connie CurlettLIOS Graduate College Alumni/a
"What I learned at LIOS," says Connie Curlett, "is that my family-of-origin does not have to define me."
When Connie started the LIOS MA program at Saybrook University she was a single monther in her 40's. She wanted to take her career to the next level – and she also wanted her children to see her graduate.
"To date none of my family has gone to college except me, and I wanted something more in my life," she says. "The academic structure of Saybrook made it possible for me to get my graduate degree while being a full time mom."
Attending the LIOS MA program in psychology transformed Connie's career: today she's a psychotherapist and certified life coach with a practice located in Seattle's Madison Valley neighborhood, working with individuals, couples and groups. She also volunteers at a women's transitional shelter.
But it was the personal transformation she experienced as a LIOS student that she says has changed her life the most. "To my surprise, LIOS was like going to the chiropractor for the soul. I got an internal alignment," Connie said.
At the LIOS MA program Connie realized fear was keeping her from truly living. "The first year, I had no idea of how paralyzed I was by fear. I had to remind myself that growth is painful, a good kind of pain. The silver lining to the pain is that there is growth at the other end. By the second year and by the time I graduated LIOS provided me the opportunity to overcome my fear; LIOS was a powerful growth experience," recalls Connie.
The LIOS MA program taught Connie how to be her authentic self. "Just my way of being with people makes it easier for me to relax into my role as a therapist. I am able to call out what is in the room, especially with couples; I am a real straight shooter. Because of my LIOS experience, I am not afraid to be direct," says Connie.

Sierra Trading Post has some great deals on their closeouts right now using a 35% off coupon code on the already discounted prices.I'm looking into converting to trail runners. I was originally going to try a few pairs of inov-8's but wouldn't mind saving some money on a different brand of shoes. Are any of these shoes worth a try:http://www.sierratradingpost.com/mens-hiking-shoes~d~361/The coupon code ends tonight, so I'd have to buy them today.Thanks for the help.
The Keen A86 received extremely high awards, and are very comfortable. The lacing winds anatomically up the side of the shoe, rather than directly on top. I think you'll be pleased.
get what fits your foot ... regardless of priceif you buy shoes without trying them on ... its a total cr@pshoot its that simple ;)
+1 on what Eric said.Start exploring shoes without looking at the price tag, and don't rush purely because of a sale...there will always be another. If you head out with a financial focus, you may neglect an important shoe that could potentially be the golden slipper....which will effect your hike, your mindset, your enjoyment, your safety and ultimately...your wallet...in the longer run.I can vouch for the TrailRoc 245's. I oversized by one size to allow for thick winter socks. They still feel great with thin socks on. Heaps of toe room. Has a rock plate. Very breathable. Durable enough. Light. Happy feet.
You've got to try them on!Two ways to do that:Local brick-and-mortar shop that has a good selection of shoes. A good running store would be a place to start. bring the socks you intend to wear. Find a pair that fits well, then go up at least a half size, maybe a whole size, to account for swelling on a nice, long hike. If you go to an REI, and they have one of those cute fake rock things to test the shoes, lace your shoes up snugly, stand on the slope part, grab the rail, jump up and land on one foot. Try to drive your foot as far forward in the shoe as possible. Do it with both feet, even if the sales person looks at you crazily! This will let you know if you're going to have toe smash on the downhill slopes while hiking.No local store. Go to an online shoe store (Zappo's comes to mind). Pick a model that looks interesting, and order three of them: the size you think you wear, down a size, and up a size. Wear them at home, INSIDE, until you get a feel for them. Mail the rejects back. The return should be free - check before you order! Try other shoes the same way.Eventually, you'll find one that works for you. Tip: Once you find one that fits perfectly, see if you can find what the manufacturer's LAST is for that shoe. The last is the model foot they build the shoe around. New Balance makes theirs public; not all companies do. Having found an excellent fit with a New Balance shoe, and finding the last, I only buy NB trail runners with that last. Perfect fit guaranteed! Tip two: Don't expect other people's favorite shoe to fit you. Their feet are different from yours. You have to do the work yourself for your own feet.

as the two previous poster mentioned- fit is king; doesn't matter how great a shoe gets reviewed if it doesn't fit YOUnext to REI, runningwarehouse probably has the most generous return policy- 90 day unused or USED- you can run/hike/jump in them for 90 days and still return them if need be, walking around the house is often not enough to figure out whether a shoe is going to work or notonce you find a shoe that fits well, then start looking for deals- I'm on my 5th pair of Sabino Trails and the last four I've gotten at significant discount, BUT I know they work for ME and they fit ME
It's fit, fit and FIT. Nothing else matters!Tip #3 to add to above: Once you've found the perfect shoe for you (hike in them for a month or two first to be sure), buy several pair. You can be sure that the manufacturer will change the model next year!
