Privacy. Immortality. Forget tattoos…what about your electronic signature? Have you considered that what you put "out there" may never be erased? Or erasable?

"Not all opinions are created equal. Some are a great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." Douglas Adams
Privacy. Immortality. Forget tattoos…what about your electronic signature? Have you considered that what you put "out there" may never be erased? Or erasable?
(Speaking of tattoos, remember that guy who put Romney's logo on his head?)
In fact, no maybe about it. They are.
It's scary to think, but there it is, in the Wall Street Journal:
Google and Apple are gathering location information as part of their race to build massive databases capable of pinpointing people's locations via their cellphones. These databases could help them tap the $2.9 billion market for location-based services—expected to rise to $8.3 billion in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc.
In the case of Google, according to new research by security analyst Samy Kamkar, an HTC Android phone collected its location every few seconds and transmitted the data to Google at least several times an hour. It also transmitted the name, location and signal strength of any nearby Wi-Fi networks, as well as a unique phone identifier.
Google declined to comment on the findings.

Be wise about your use of Twitter, Facebook, blogs, or anything else you post online. Assume that it won't disappear or leave the Internet–ever. Someone will always be able to find it.
How will it affect your online reputation? Will it come back to haunt you? Think twice before hitting "publish."
Also, if your boss is on Twitter, think twice before accepting his follow request.
Trust me on that one.
Under the constitution, an "impartial jury" is guaranteed in criminal trials. However, with the advent of the internet, Google, and online social media, impartiality is becoming more questionable, and jurors are taking over their role as fact finders out of the court room and directly to online searches.
And it has observers wondering if an "impartial jury" is even possible, anymore. With technology continually evolving, the justice system will need to find ways to compensate, argues Caren Myers Morrison, an assistant professor at Georgia State University College of Law in an article titled Can the Jury Trial Survive Google? published the ABA's Criminal Justice Winter 2011 issue.
Today, most jurors have access to news stories, television segments, blogs "opinions," criminal records databases, social network pages, and general research tools such as Wikipedia and Google at their fingertips. And the have not been shy about availing themselves of these resources.
In addition to steps to compensate for heightened juror access to information outside of the trial, Morrison suggests that "we may need to reevaluate the jury's role in a wider sense."
I've heard it joked that people on jury duty are not the brightest individuals, as evidenced that if they were they would have gotten out of jury duty in the first place. John Cusack starred with Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman in the movie version of John Grisham's novel Runaway Jury, in which Cusack played man who got himself placed on jury duty, where he then manipulated the other members of the jury to get revenge on an unscrupulous gun manufacturer. It featured black and white caricatures, but the lesson was real–juries can be manipulated by sophisticated individuals using expert knowledge of the facts and of the law.
In Grisham's world, the good guys won, but in the real world, it isn't nearly so black and white. The rules of evidence are designed to keep a tight lid on attorneys in court, to assure a level playing field, as best as possible, with the power of the state and prosecutor on one side and the rights of the defendant, presumed innocent until proven guilty, on the other. As jurors are able to begin accessing information outside of those guarded limits, "impartiality" becomes an open question.
Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that jurors will always feel like they are getting enough information to do their job competently. As quoted by Morrison:
"The legal system is not designed to discover truth, but rather to reward whichever party presents the most convincing argument," observed one former juror. "As someone who has sat on several juries, in each case myself and the other jurors felt frustrated by the lack of key information that would help us feel comfortable that we had made the right decision. We also felt deeply frustrated at our inability to fill those gaps in our knowledge."
So, with that frustration in hand, jurors head home at night, open their laptops, and start Googling. That is, when they haven't already started searching from their mobile phones while still in court.
Morrison lists several problems for the impartial jury due to easy access to the internet.
The more people are linked through a complex of contacts, listservs, dating databases, and friend pages, the more these chance encounters become likely, causing not only the embarrassment of seeing trial participants in unexpected contexts, but also possible prejudice to the parties. Who could take an expert seriously after learning that he is looking for "that special someone"?
Gotta fly this year? Not looking to be electronically stripped by an underpaid, under-trained, and overzealous TSA employee? And not looking to be the next John Tyner, either?
Beat the TSA with a new set of underwear that has "passive/aggressive" written all over it.
According to Tech Crunch:
The brainchild of Stephen Russell, the founder and chairman of surveillance search engine and facial recognition company, 3VR Security; Privates essentially distorts the shapes seen in airport body scanners. The garment fuzzes out a traveler's privates using body scanner resistant materials. But Russell says that the pattern isn't so dense that it will get you pulled out of line, writing that the "effect is much like wearing a loose sheer piece of clothing.
Get to the airport, get through security, and get on the plane…all without that feeling of being violated. All for the low price of about $100. (oh, and also, they're not available until January…so forget about using them for Christmas flying)
Let me know how it works for you. I'll be driving.
(h/t to Tech Crunch)
A few days ago, I noted that it's a little scary how much information Google carries about its users online activities. Google hosts your email, calendars, web searches, documents, and maps (not to mention pictures of your street). And health data, too.
But at least they're conscientious about how that data is accessed. Eventually…like four months later than they should. Gawker says that
David Barksdale, a 27-year-old former Google engineer, repeatedly took advantage of his position as a member of an elite technical group at the company to access users' accounts, violating the privacy of at least four minors during his employment, we've learned. Barksdale met the kids through a technology group in the Seattle area while working as a Site Reliability Engineer at Google's Kirkland, Wash. office. He was fired in July 2010 after his actions were reported to the company.
It took Google four months to catch on. This from the company that has access to more data than any single entity in history, short of the Almighty Himself.
And what exactly was the creep doing? Amongst other things, he was spying and taunting the teens.
In an incident this spring involving a 15-year-old boy who he'd befriended, Barksdale tapped into call logs from Google Voice, Google's Internet phone service, after the boy refused to tell him the name of his new girlfriend, according to our source. After accessing the kid's account to retrieve her name and phone number, Barksdale then taunted the boy and threatened to call her.
When Google executive engineer was alerted to the activities, he thanked the person and told them he would take care of it, but it wasn't until later, when follow up contact was made, that Barksdale was actually fired. Even then, Google has not been clear about the extent to which Barksdale abused his access to user information, though they did say this in their own defense:
"We dismissed David Barksdale for breaking Google's strict internal privacy policies. We carefully control the number of employees who have access to our systems, and we regularly upgrade our security controls–for example, we are significantly increasing the amount of time we spend auditing our logs to ensure those controls are effective. That said, a limited number of people will always need to access these systems if we are to operate them properly–which is why we take any breach so seriously."
Bill Coughran, Senior Vice President, Engineering, Google
Let's hope they are upgrading those "strict internal privacy policies" sufficiently. They obviously caught on to what Barksdale was doing, but only after they were alerted by the parents of the teens he was spying on. Did he do more? Were others affected that never came forward?
It's unclear how many accounts Barksdale inappropriately accessed while employed by Google, or if the company has conducted a thorough investigation into possible privacy abuses by other employees. (Calls to Google for comment were not returned.) It's also not clear what measures are in place to prevent Google staffers from snooping on users.
The Barksdale case comes as Google has attempted to address concerns about privacy by encrypting Gmail to protect messages from hackers, and bysimplifying its privacy policies to make them more comprehensible to users. Ironically, just last week Google launched its Family Safety Center, dedicated to helping parents keep their children safe on the Internet. But as this disturbing incident suggests, the biggest threat to kids' privacy might be Google employees themselves.
(italics added for emphasis)
The question I want to know is: why aren't criminal charges being filed? And was there a settlement to the individuals spied on?
This isn't the only employee that Google has fired for privacy violations. TechCrunch reports that it's actually the second. Getting fired is one thing; criminal charges is another and would be a far greater deterrent to others violating that privacy, both at Google and Facebook, to say nothing of other companies that watch your online actions.
(Thanks to Gawker and TechCrunch)
I thought it was scary how much information Facebook had on me. Yeah, right.
Next to Google, Facebook is just almost benign. Almost.
Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google (which does email, calendars, documents, searches, maps, directions, YouTube, blogs, and so on), has his eye on you:
"Ultimately, search is not just the web but literally all of your information – your email, the things you care about, with your permission – this is personal search, for you and only for you."
"We can suggest what you should do next, what you care about. Imagine: We know where you are, we know what you like."
"A near-term future in which you don't forget anything, because the computer remembers. You're never lost."
Yeah, a little scary. What if I want to get lost? Go off the grid, as it were? Remember, this is the same guy that recommended that people change their name if they wanted to escape their online activities.
(Thanks to Josh Blackman for the tip, and for a great blog, too.)

by Mom of the Bride , 06/08/2011
My daughter was getting married in Detroit, I have family in Portland. I needed a Bold of special Heavy Antique Silk. I called and ask if they could send her samples. They sent samples to my Daughter in Detroit, she got the samples and it was exactly what she was looking for.we had 3 days I paid from California. My Mom who lived in Portland due to the short notice picked up and delivered the silk to a very happy bride to be at the Shower the next day.. They also found the match for a quilt that I was working on and shipped that as well. They are so amazing to work with both in person or on the phone or the computer. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Wonderful store...wish you were in AZ...
by joanw , 12/21/2010

Favorite Place
by Toni , 10/09/2010
I've quilted since 1976 and this store just has it all. Visiting Fabric Depot is a great stress reliever for me. I can spend hours there. It makes me happy! I love this store! Toni
Shop here, and you think you have gone to Heaven!
by evie , 10/25/2007
A very nice store, though so far on the east side for us wast suburbanites. Everyday prices are fine, but very regularly, there are sales with 30-40% off. On 40% days, the store###and parking lot are mobbed, but staff are still very pleasant and really try to help customers!
Amazing selections!
by Jodi , 10/25/2007
Hands down, the best fabric store in the city. I never have any problems finding what I'm looking for when starting a new quilt project or clothing project. 40% off days are the best. Just make sure you get there when they first open up on sale days. Not as crowded!!
So Much Fabric, So Little Time
by cassandra , 10/22/2007
This is the place to be to wander, get inspiration or snoop for new stuff.
The BEST selection!
by -The Quilted Dog , 10/10/2007
They have so much fabric! It sometimes becomes overwelming. But in a good way. I love to go in and "window shop"...but of course, it never fails...that I can't find that perfect fabric when I'm hunting for it. Not for the lack of trying though. There is so much there to choose from I think it is not at all possible to retain everything you see. Their 40% Sale days are crazy...LOTS of people. I personally choose to skip those 40% sales myself...but if you don't mind crowds....GO FOR IT....it is such a great deal. All types of fabrics...cottons for quilting....bridal/formal fabrics...house decor fabrics...yarns...gifts....notions....lots of things. If you have not been....you HAVE to go!
The biggest fabric store I've ever seen!
by embquilter , 10/08/2007
If you can't find it here, it isn't available. They have LOTS of fabric in every department from quilting to fine tapestries, home dec, children's prints, yarn and embroidery, books, many craft supplies,, etc., etc. Staff is helpful, knowledgeable and service is swift even when a great sale is on and buyers abound. It's a great store. We're lucky to have it within our reach of the Portland area.
Large place, lots of fabric
by mgodfrey39 , 10/06/2007
The frequent 30% and 40% off sales are very tempting and great times to buy. Enjoyed the class I took, although the instructor not as knowledgeable as I would have liked. Only concern is that some of the fabric is not first run--that's why the prices are lower than elsewhere. Incredible variety of lines and types of fabric, including fabric for dresses and other clothes. Good variety of samples and quilting supplies.

Coaches remember their Youngstown roots
Tom Dienhart
Rivals.com College Football Senior Writer
"What's up, Bobby?" shouts a voice near a bocce ball court.
The vaunted coach of the Oklahoma Sooners is "Bobby" around here, not "Bob." Stoops smiles and sticks out his hand. Everyone knows your name at the MVR (Mahoning Valley Restaurant), tucked in a nook along narrow Walnut Street.
MVR is an iconic eatery in an iconoclastic rust-belt relic of a city. But it's Stoops' city, and that's why he's here in late June with hundreds of others at the seventh annual Golden Cardinal Bocce Social.
"It's a great event," Stoops says. "We get a chance to come back here, see friends and family and raise some money for a good cause. But I'm not playing in the bocce tourney."
Most in this crowd of 400 or so are, rolling bocce balls, smoking fat cigars, drinking beer from long neck bottles and talking.
Oh, are they talking
There's Carl Pelini, the Nebraska defensive coordinator and brother of the new Huskers coach, laughing and hugging. Tim Beck, Nebraska's new running back coach, lines up a shot.
Where's Bo? Nebraska's first-year coach is in the back, scribbling his signature on footballs that will be auctioned off later in the day as part of the event.
Other celebrities are here, too. There's Kirk Herbstreit signing autographs. Todd Blackledge is talking to some fans who want his view on the 2008 season.
The mission is to raise money for scholarships so kids can attend private schools. That's why Bob Stoops and Bo Pelini are here. Same for Carl Pelini and Beck. Arizona coach Mike Stoops couldn't make it, but Wildcats defensive coordinator Mark Stoops is here. Ron Stoops, the eldest brother, is on hand, too, running the event. Their common bond is Youngstown's Cardinal Mooney High School, a small but proud institution that played an integral function in shaping each. It's all about giving back because, as the saying goes, God gives to the givers and takes from the takers.
The event, which had a $135 entry fee, funds scholarships worth up to $1,000. And while many of the kids who receive them will attend Mooney, the scholarships can be used at other private schools, too.
"Cardinal Mooney means a lot to me," Bo Pelini says. "There is a brotherhood among us. It's important to us, and I think it's important to Youngstown."
The Bocce Social coffers are augmented by an auction. What Ohio native wouldn't want an autographed A.J. Hawk jersey? There also are signed Brett Favre and Brady Quinn photos, and footballs bearing the signatures of legends such as Joe Paterno and Rex Kern. There's an autographed Troy Smith jersey. And if helmets are you thing, you can choose from among several. And check out the autographed photo of middleweight champion, Youngstown's own Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik. There also is lots of Youngstown State paraphernalia.
"Get our picture," Bob Stoops says to a photographer as he slides into a booth with Bo Pelini and others. "And make sure you get the Youngstown State helmet lamp in it."
Folks nationally may have forgotten about this burg located in the heart of the Mahoning Valley, but there once was a day when Youngstown bustled and belched smoke. From the 1930s through the '60s, the population hovered around 160,000. Youngstown was a well-oiled machine fueled by factories such as Youngstown Sheet and Tube, Republic Steel and U.S. Steel. The heavy lifting and pounding was done by muscled immigrants from Italy, Germany, Ireland, Wales, Greece, Syria and Lebanon. When the 5 o'clock whistle blew, the tired trudged to places like MVR. Founder and owner Carmine Cassese was waiting for them. They set their lunch bucket on the bar, wiped their brow and had a tall, cold one. Maybe two.
But the steel industry is mostly gone, crumbling in the 1970s. Today, less than 90,000 people call Youngstown home. Driving into town on Interstate 680 and winding through streets, you buzz past the Museum of Industry and Labor � a fitting homage to yesterday's glory. You can spot a few billowing smoke stacks along the modest skyline. But the city and region still are trying to fit into its post-steel industry clothes. It may never happen � but it doesn't matter on this day.
There's toughness about this place that courses through the veins of Stoops, Pelini and anyone from the area. You don't quit. You only work harder. And if that doesn't work, well, you work a little harder, forging a living and gathering at places such as MVR to play bocce.
What, you expected people who trace their roots to the blast furnace to play golf? Yeah, right. And their favorite thing to talk about at MVR is football. The mills can fold, but football can't be taken from the can-of-beer folks in Steel Valley, which includes Youngstown and Warren in Ohio and stretches to nearby Pennsylvania hamlets Farrell, Sharon and New Castle - the home of Kansas coach Mark Mangino. The Jayhawks' boss usually is here, but he couldn't make it this summer because his son Tommy is getting married.
The Stoops family understands the area's love affair with football. Ron, Bob, Mike and Mark have been whisked away to gridiron glory, but they haven't forgotten. They know where they are from. They know where it all started. The Pelinis, too. It was on a field not far from here, at 2545 Erie Street: Cardinal Mooney High. There, legendary Don Bucci coached the Cardinals for 34 years before retiring in 2000. Be relentless � be tough � be demanding � be loving � and never forget where you're from.
"Youngstown is a great place," Beck says. "Being able to come back here is an honor. This is a close-knit place, and Mooney is a close-knit school."
The guy running the bocce tourney balances along a narrow passage between courts, turns and yelps into his bullhorn, "Pelini's team is up on Court 14. Please report to Court 14."
And so it goes on a muggy Youngstown Sunday afternoon. A bunch of guys having fun and thinking of a cause greater than themselves.
"This is beautiful, isn't it?" Ron Stoops says.

Gradual tax reform would best ease shock to system
The final "fiscal cliff" agreement, if there ever is one, will likely include some effort to increase government revenue without raising taxes on the middle class. This increases the probability that existing tax deductions will be addressed in some way, probably by shrinking them or eliminating them entirely. Even though eliminating a deduction is really a tax increase, it can be disguised by calling it "tax reform" or "closing loopholes."
Major personal tax deductions like mortgage interest and charitable donations, for example, have extensive and well-established root systems in our economy. Changing them raises timing issues that have to be considered, addressed, and resolved.
Whoever first said, "Timing is everything" certainly understood how the world works. Timing is important in life, in business, in science and even in the arts.
Timing turns out to be more complicated than we might think, though, and this is nowhere more obvious than in comedy. Most of us aren't experts, for example, but we can tell instinctively when the timing of a line in a TV sitcom is wrong. Timing, in fact, is one of the most difficult things for actors, directors and writers to get right. There is more art than science to it.
There is both art and science to economics, too, and, sometimes unintentional comedy, too. It is not surprising, then, that timing plays an important role in economic policy decisions.
What is surprising is that timing has not always been a major part of economic theory throughout its history and is still not fully integrated into economics to this day. Historically, economic theory has concentrated on the cause-and-effect forces and behavior patterns that explained how individuals, businesses and economies worked.
Time and timing became crucial factors in economics only when central governments began to take on responsibility for the maintenance of their countries' economic engines -- and economic forecasting became a critical determinant in economic policy decisions.
The Great Depression of the 1930s was a spur to economic thinking along these lines, and great strides were made in data collection. Economists recognized the need for time-based analysis and forecasting, of course, but at the time they lacked the mathematics and the data processing capabilities to do much about it.
Economic policies during the 1930s Great Depression and well into the 1950s were mostly restrained by a general principle that, "If you can't explain it to your Aunt Hattie, forget about it." As it turned out, Aunt Hattie was smarter than she let on -- and certainly wiser than a lot of government bureaucrats -- and things didn't work out too badly. The growing level of responsibility that our federal government was taking for our economic welfare, though, gave it an insatiable appetite for data and forecasts.
Timing began to be incorporated into economic models and into economics training in the 1960s, precisely when computer-assisted data processing transformed econometric models and statistical analysis into practical realities.
These economic models really improved short-term forecasting, and were adopted eagerly not only by government but also by Wall Street, which has a notoriously short-term outlook. Our economic world is now flooded with data-driven econometric forecast models, prompting some to seek higher ground.
One of the timing questions left unanswered by math-driven economics is whether economic policies work best when implemented quickly or gradually. This is a matter of great concern and divided opinion as U.S. and European countries attempt to recover from recessions and unsustainable public debt.
In the U.S., since we know the government is going to do it one way or another, the basic question for economic policy makers is whether tax changes should be introduced over time, immediately, or even retroactively, an option beloved only by Congress.
The negative effect that ending the mortgage interest deduction would have on the housing industry, for example, just as it is recovering from a four-year bust, would make it a poor candidate for sudden, traumatic change. And the same is true for axing the charitable donation deduction, which would have disastrous effects on a broad range of activities, from education to health care and disaster relief.
If, in the face of this, the federal government is still determined to ignore its spending addiction and raise taxes, spreading the negative effects over time would be helpful. Individuals, households, businesses and institutions will be hurt, surely, but they will find ways to adjust, if we give them a chance. The American economy is good at that.

The first Sherlock movie I thought had too much violence and Sherlock was not as groomed & well dressed as he should have been. This second movie: is NOT Sherlock Holmes: it\'s someone else, completely; the action is just like the first. Sherlock is if anything more derelict, and scruffy looking: Dr. Watson is also quit scruffy, definitely too much violence: and mayhem not enough cerebral plotting. Apparently they donât get Victorian Europe and America, even. Dress, manners, and overall appearance determined who you were and where you could go and what you could do. You absolutely do not throw a Victorian lady into a lake or river not fully dressed as her dress and petticoats, weigh about 30 to 40 lbs. which will take her right down. If I wanted to see this type of violence and idiotic mayhem I would have seen a diehard or predator movie. The movie plot is really quite obvious, Does NOT have any of the finesse that Conan Doyle or others who wrote Sherlock stories managed to put into their story lines⦠So thank you for wasting my time and showing me just how badly you could screw up some good stories and fictional charac

Lizard Skins Standard Chainstay
Designed to fit chromoly or titanium frames. Lizard Skins Chainstay protectors are made from 2mm Powertex neoprene. Lizard Skins Chainstay protectors effectively prevent nicks and scratches to your frame while reducing the noise of chain slap. Chainstay protectors have been sewn with a heavy-duty thread and a tight stitch to add extra strength and durability.
Works. But attracts dirt. Get a Shadow Plus or Type 2 derailleur for a much cleaner alternative.
This is better looking option to protect your chainstay compared to a DIY inner tube wrap on the chainstay. It is easy to install and a breeze to remove for cleaning. It does wear out aftee a couple of hard riding but for its price you can easily replace it with a new one. The wear and tear varies with your riding style and trail you go to. If you don't really go through rocky, rooty trails with jumps and drops this will last almost forever. You can wash it (handwash). The velcro is heavy duty and will lock in place as it should. This is highly recommended if you want to protect your bike from scratches due to chain slap on your chain stay
Not much to say about this sort of thing, it works as advertised! I have several on my steel bikes to protect the paint in case the chain comes in contact with the chain stay, and it does just that...protect the paint! It's cheap insurance, if you have painted chain stays and don't want the paint to get taken off by the chain then protect the paint with this. It also lasts a long time, my first one I got is now 7 years old and still looks good, though I do wash it once a year to keep the crime off of it.

Money, Moscow
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
You will pay high prices from everything to coffee to meals. If you are hungry in red square buy an ice cream from a local vendor and eat elsewhere.
Unique Suggestions: Sit in the park area and enjoy the people. Also, they sometimes have shows in the warmer weather.
Fun Alternatives: Try other areas of Moscow
On my short business trip to Moscow, the officials warned me about the tricks that the people in the exchange booths in the street use to rip you off. They count the money and when handing it to you, some glue will make sure some of the money sticks to their hands. You won't see it and as you counted together with the staff, will not double-check.
Unique Suggestions: Do not exchange money in the booths, but change it in the airport or hotel or withdraw it in a ATM. Not all hotels exchange money!
Credit cards are not widely accepted. I like to pay with a credit card and do it each time I can; and I still about 50% of my monthly budget is spent in cash.
You may pay with credit cards in large supermarkets, good (read expensive) restaurants, boutiques and that is all.
A passport or driver's license are often needed as a confirmation. Same time, the sales stuff don't even look at your signature often!
Unique Suggestions: Hopefully, there are 24 hour ATMs in the center. Just ask your taxi driver to drive slowly and you'll notice them.
Fun Alternatives: The following is considered as a crime, but you may try to pay in US dollars and it works often in small clothes shops, on the markets, in beauty shops, flower shops etc. It's treated as normal, and I never heard anybody was arrested for this.
Still, this is at your own risk. I do it only when I feel I can and if there're no money exchange around.
If you stay at one of the swank hotels, do NOT get your dollars changed at the hotel counter - you'll end up losing money. Especially if you (like I did) have to change from $ to RR and then back again!
Unique Suggestions: If you can't make it out on the street, make it a point to pay by credit card. You get ripped off for slightly less because the bank rates USUALLY apply.
Fun Alternatives: You can get a much better exchange rate at any of the shops out on the street. I saw quite a few on Kutuzovsky Prospekt.
Never exchange money in the hotels. The rate is always worse than on the streets. You shouldn't either exchange on the black market, but in exchange offices offering their job almost anywhere in the city.

Try something out of your "comfort zone" Try a spin class, yoga, pilates, belly dancing etc..Exercise does not have to be horrible or boring. Some local gyms offer classes at no additional charge. Some park districts have classes for a small fee. Do something different and kill the boredom that occurs often in traditional exercise (treadmill, elipticals, stair climbing)..
I went for a walk and was trying to step faster when I suddenly found myself JOGGING! I never thought I'd run again using bad knees, overweight, cardio... every excuse! I ran 60% of my 2.5 mile route - 2 min walk / 3 min run intervals... if I can run - anyone can run!

Don't forget to wipe down any equipment you use, either at home or in the gym. Even if you are the only one who uses it, bacteria and odors like to hold on to that stuff. For best results use a weak water/bleach mixture in a spray bottle.
Did you know that for every one hour of exercise you do, you extend your expected lifespan by 2 hours? It is like putting extra time in a savings account! For every 12 hours, you add a full day! So get moving!

I have used Ace Window insulation for 10 years. The product this year has changed - mil has changed, box changed, yardage changed AND THE TAPE TO ATTACH TO WINDOW IS HORRIBLE.
IT DOES NOT STICK. I had to buy a second roll to retape several areas where the tape pulled.

Breast reduction procedures date as early as the 19th century and they were performed for reconstructive purposes. In some parts of the globe though, breast size was one of the factors that could dictate one's membership to a certain social class. Especially in places like Brazil, where there was a melting pot of races, reducing a female's breast could help her climb the social ladder through marriage.
Nowadays breast reduction surgeries are becoming more and more popular, either as a means to correct an affection (such as macromastia or even gigantomastia, an extremely disproportionate breast to body ratio) or to help self-conscious women about their breast feel good in their bodies. This apparently counterintuitive procedure shows us that no extreme is welcomed by people who don't actually want to stand out through their brassiere cup sizes. Some other disadvantages of very large breast in women are: being unable to find clothes that will fit, fighting poor blood circulation which can result in feeling one's breast painful from time to time, chronic pains to one's head, neck, shoulders and back because of a bad posture while standing or walking, even serious medical issues and also the inability to take part in athletic activities.
A study carried out by the University of Portsmouth shows that large breasts inhibit women's participation in any physical activities. The study reveals that breasts are on the 4th place, after lack of energy, lack of free time and health reason, in the top hold-ups from physical activities. The same women talked about their hard times when looking for a sports bra that will fit and also about the embarrassment felt for their excessive breast movement. If we are to consider the facts and figures in sports, large breasts seem to not discourage number one tennis player in the world Serena Williams, or the professional LPGA Golfer Natalie Gulbis, from making millions out of prize money throughout their careers. Other sports also pride themselves with busty athletes, such as figure skaters Katarina Witt and Anna Semenovich, racing driver Milka Duno, the former artistic gymnast Alicia Sacramone and the 3 times Olympic gold medalist Stephania Rice.
Although many professional athletes seem to do just fine in sports in spite of their large breasts, there are cases in which athletes prefer to undergo a breast reduction surgery to improve their performance on the court. One such example is Simona Halep, who in 2009 went from a 34DD to a 34C by surgically resizing them (rumors has it that she did the surgery in Los Angeles). At the time of the procedure, she accused serious back pain and the fact that her breasts reduced her time of reaction on field. Did it help? It certainly looks so, as she is now number two in the world, surpassing the famous Maria Sharapova, and scored since then a total evolution of 450 places in the world tennis rankings.
Soon after that, news started to spread. This may be a reason why the breast reduction surgery has gained a lot of popularity in the past years. Things have gone as far as having specialized breast reduction centers in Virginia Beach(check out this site). New categories of women come clean about the troubles their big breasts are causing for them, both physically and psychologically. And Richmond Virginia seems to be on top of that trend with research invested into finding the best techniques for breast reduction surgeries, including minimizing the scars that result from the surgery. An article from ESPN The Magazine interviews busty archers, hurdlers, gymnasts, tennis players, who offer some behind the scenes info about their sporting lives with big breasts. All of them seem to agree on the fact that big boobs are making it even more difficult to keep up. Still the busty women of sports should not worry too much, because these days they have a plastic surgeon they can turn to. Dr. Larry Stevens is a Virginian plastic surgeon superstar specialized in downsizing. He is the surgeon who helps women in sports stay scalpel-free, lighter, with minimal secondary effects. He saw a lot of professional sportswomen during his career since the patenting of his medical method and advises any athlete who wants to go pro and has a problem with large breasts to pay him a visit…the sooner the better for their sports performance.
Being a nurse is one of the most difficult jobs in the whole wide world. Yes, it is actually much more difficult than you might think. It's nothing like you saw in movies or read in school books.
Besides the fact that it's an eventful occupation, which involves huge amounts of stress during long 12-hour shifts, you often have to deal with rude patients and cranky doctors. And no matter the circumstances, you have to keep that smile on your face and look serene, even if your back aches and your feet are killing you.
I go to work when the sun has not come up yet and I leave the job when it's even darker outside. At the nurses' station, after spending 12 hours on my feet, I usually need a chair to sit on, but that's something out of the question, since every nurse in the area is fighting for the exact same thing. At that point, I'm just too tired to keep putting an effort into something that never turns well, that amplifies everyone's nerves and evolves into scandals that leave its participants with remorse. So this clearly affects my health and strength. Ironically, you get ill by helping other people to get better or cured.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I am dedicated to helping others in need, but sometimes this can really affect me in ways that tend to get unbearable. So I went to my personal physician for a couple of times, complaining about the pain in my feet, neck, back and arms, asking for advice in order to get the best pair of nursing shoes (Two Comfy Shoes). His only answer was that I need to get more exercise. Really? More exercise? When and how? Wait, did I say when? It's incredible that they sometimes think of us as being only the bed-pan-changers. They often seem to forget the immense amount of work that we do for our patients and how this job is quite like a marathon, so all they can suggest is more exercise, like I don't already get enough of that.
So I've decided to take the matter into my own hands and deal with the problems as best as I can. Overall, I'm trained to do that. I bought myself a pair of orthopedic shoes for nurses. Of course you've seen the standard white nursing shoes that all of us must wear, but these are better and I'm going to explain why. They come in an ergonomic shape, which supports the feet, but also gently massages the right spots, in order for us to relax while walking, which I think is just brilliant. The upper sole is made out of bovine leather with small perforations, for better ventilation. The outsole is made out of polyurethane which adapts to the shape of the feet, giving me all the comfort I could ever ask from a pair of shoes. The downside is that these kind of nursing shoes are not cheap and I've actually got mine custom-made, to make sure they fit me the best. But no matter how expensive they were, I can put my hand on my heart and say that they're worth all the money I paid for, mostly because I see them as an investment into my own health and well being.
Since I've been wearing my new nursing shoes, I've noticed an improvement in my posture and less tension in my back muscles. Also, the headaches have gone. I used to have these horrible migraines; due to the fact that my body wasn't getting enough sleep and also because the shoes for nurses I used to wear were quite too heavy to carry around for 12 hours a day.
Nowadays, I can gladly say that I'm pain pill free and I no longer have to drink the same amounts of coffee. These new nursing shoes simply work miracles. If someone had told me earlier that wearing the right shoes will take away the problems my muscles suffered from, I would have considered them out of their minds.
In conclusion, I would recommend to all my fellow nurse colleagues to make an effort and get a pair of these magical nursing shoes. It will improve not only the health of the feet; their whole bodies will get to benefit from this acquisition. Properly oxygenated, the legs will send good messages to the brain, who will no longer feel pressured by bad circulatory events, which will reduce the number of the headaches induced by malfunction in other parts of the body.
I have been very busy lately because of my mother's health problems and to be honest, I have never felt so anxious my entire life. Nothing was more important than Mom these days and, fortunately, we were blessed.
My mom went through a hip replacement surgery a couple of days ago and, thanks God, the surgery went fine so today she got out of the hospital. She had a nice and fast recovery and doctors thought she can go back home safely in Virginia, where she lives. She went at this surgeon in Virginia for an MRI and a few tests.
I know it sounds a cliché, but our health is our most precious gift – literally nothing can be worse that suffering from a debilitating disease when getting older.
And when you see the person you love the most in pain and so helpless and frightened you would give anything to make her well again. Anything. Health problems are tough for the person that's suffering and also for her loved ones.
This is one of the moments when your priorities change...forever. You see throughout all these problems very clearly that you have some great gifts in your life.
To be able to hold and hug your mom is an enormous gift most of us take for granted, the gift of a perfectly healthy body is also amazing.
I have also learned to never ever neglect my health and my well-being. Some problems that elders have can be prevented with a proper diet, lack of stress and couple of hours of exercise a week. We cannot escape death but we can fight to prevent our body deteriorating as much as possible.
Exercise religiously. And eat your veggies, like Mom said all her life – you will be happy you chose to respect and love your body someday.
I am happy to announce that my Mom is feeling great and the hip replacement surgery went very good, thanks to an awesome doctor and his team. Doctors had to insert prosthesis into her pelvis and femur. It was a complicated surgery, but it had to be done.
My Mom has been suffering of chronic pain because of her severe arthritis for 6 years now. She had gone through an anesthesia and a few days of hospitalization, but she has an actual new hip and I'm telling you, it is amazing for her. Her quality of life will improve tremendously.
I'm so happy for her. She will be off the pain meds soon and she will not have the debilitating pain anymore. She will walk comfortably. She will climb stairs. She will enjoy a nice walk, a beautiful sunset, a shopping session or whatever she chooses to do without her chronic pain that made her unable to be happy.
She has to go through physical therapy for a couple of months and this is essential for her rehabilitation, but that's a piece of cake compared with what she went through before the surgery in Virginia Beach.
Before that, she couldn't even climb the stairs or arise from a sitting position without a considerable amount of effort. She has a severe arthritis of the hip joint that aging made it even worse. This disease made her life so hard – and now I'm grateful and amazed by all the possibly that modern surgery options gives to elder people.
She had a great team of doctors that treated her good and did a wonderful job with her hip. Now, a psychical therapist takes care of her and teaches her to do new exercises, such as contracting or relaxing hip muscles.
The artificial hip has a more limited range of movement than a natural hip, as expected. So her therapist also teaches how to do simple day to day activities (bending, sitting and moving) so that she will not injure her new hip.
After the rehabilitation, she could even swim or use a stationary bike for training her muscles! That's a very big deal for someone who couldn't even walk properly.
I will make sure to be there for her in the healing process and doing some sport together will be the perfect time to catch up.
Unfortunately, you never know how lucky you are until you go through stuff like this. Do me a favor and watch your diet and sport regime and visit your folks as much as you can. They need you. And they were there for you watching and hoping you're happy since the day you were born. Give them a little back, just a little time from your hectic time. You'll be a happier person, believe me.
Most people tend to believe that comedians have a great life. They believe that comedians are surrounded by similar people to them and their life is all about laughter. I will tell you a secret. Comedians' real life is nothing like their performance on stage. Trust me, I'm a comedian.
Now, I'm not saying that every case is just like mine but I tell you from experience, when you go on stage and make people laugh it is because you can't make yourself laugh. Seeing other people happy because of you somehow makes you happy. You can't find happiness on your own so your happiness depends on other people's happiness. Although you might think it is not a bad thing to have your happiness depend on other people's happiness, it actually is. If at some point in your life you won't be able to make other people laugh, your happiness get crushed one moment at a time. That is when depression hits you.
Someone once said that depression feels like drowning. Except that you see everyone around you breathing. I couldn't have said that better. I suffer from severe depression since my early 20s. That is when I decided to become a comedian. At first I was laughing at my situation because I knew how ridiculous a few things were and I couldn't understand why I felt so hurt by them. For instance, although I loved and still love my brother from the bottom of my heart, I always felt some sort of jealousy regarding his position in our family. He was always the smart one who had the last word because he wouldn't beat you mean words nor physical power, he would always beat you with the smartest arguments. It was, and still is, pointless to fight him.
So, my brother always loved stand-up comedy shows. This is one thing I got from him. We used to go every week to a stand-up comedy show when we were young. At some point we lost that connection. I am not saying that we hate each other. We talk, we spend time together but it's more like a family duty now. However, when I was attending a stand-up comedy show, I would always be amazed by the fact that people stand up applauding the comedian. I found it fascinating. Then I knew I wanted to make people happy, to make them laugh. It worked, everyone said I was not an ordinary type of comedian. They would say that there's something special with me.
All these lasted for about 2 years. When people got used to my shows I felt as if I failed. I felt like I let those people down. Ever since then I've been seeing a therapist and practically, the main thing he tells me is that if I follow my dream I will only get deeper and deeper into this whole depression situation. I will not give up, though. Although I suffer from severe depression, as Robin Williams said, "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem".
As you probably already know, Clomid is a medicine that treats fertility issues. Women usually use Clomid when they cannot ovulate. However, there are women who use Clomid for other, all kinds of reasons. You must know that Clomid has been approved to treat fertility issues, so it is illegal to use it for anything else.
Now, you can buy Clomid from the different websites and online pharmacies. I would not recommend so, as the websites might be fake and you can find yourself paying a lot of money for either receiving another product or for receiving nothing. Before starting to take Clomid you must consult the doctor to see whether this is the best thing for you. If he does not approve with you taking Clomid then you should talk to him and find another solution. Taking Clomid without a medical prescription can be very dangerous, as you can develop from less severe to very severe side effects. Many women are willing to take the risk and take Clomid without consulting the doctor. Even if you do that and get real Clomid, it can be very dangerous to you as you don't know the right dosage for you. I would recommend buying Clomid from a health care provider but again, you can only buy Clomid from a health care provider if you have a doctor's prescription.
As I said before, taking Clomid by your own, without consulting a doctor might result into developing side effects. Now, these side effects can vary, they can be from less severe to very severe. Even if they are less severe, you must consult a doctor as they can persist and grow more and more severe. The doctor will know what to do to so that you can get back to normal. In some cases, the doctor might tell you that you have to abandon your treatment for your own health. If so, you should do it immediately before it is too late. The less severe side effects are bloating, blurred vision, stomach and pelvic pain, sensitivity of eyes to light, tiredness, mental depression, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, trouble in sleeping, headaches, nervousness, restlessness, lightheadedness and so on.
Among the very severe side effects, there are possible ovarian tumors, slow breast milk production, chance of having twins or triplets and so on. Usually, if you consult a doctor before starting the treatment, it is highly unlikely to develop any of these severe side effects. That, of course, if the doctor agrees that you can start the treatment. If you do not consult a doctor before starting the treatment, be sure you are not pregnant. It is not recommended by any means to take Clomid while you are already pregnant.
All in all, I advise you to buy Clomid from a reliable health care provider. Obviously, you can buy a very good product from the internet, but when it comes to medication I think it is best not to take the risk.
Clomid is a fertility medicine. Needless to say, it is non-steroidal. Women who cannot naturally ovulate use Clomid to cause ovulation. Do not use Clomid by any circumstances if you are already pregnant.
Make sure you consult a doctor before taking Clomid. Also, make sure where you buy Clomid from is a safe place. In my opinion, it is best for you to buy it from a health care provider. If your doctor advises you against taking Clomid try to listen to him. It can cause severe side effects. It is a possibility to develop an ovarian tumor. Also, Clomid can slower your breast milk production and make you give birth to twins or triplets. These are some strong reasons why I believe it is best for you to go to a doctor. If, as said before, he advises you against taking Clomid, you can discuss with him and find another solution for your fertility problem.
Avoid storing Clomid near direct light. You should store it at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Try to be cautious while driving. One of the side effects you can develop if you take Clomid is blurred vision. Also, avoid participating to any activity that requires a lot of energy, any hazardous activity. You must consult your doctor immediately if you find that something might not be right. Supplements with phytoestrogens will cancel the effects of Clomid if they are taken together.
The dosage will also be decided by the doctor. It really depends on your weight, age and so on. However, the usual dosage is 50 mg, meaning one tablet, for the beginning. So, you will take one tablet for 5 days. If the patient doesn't ovulate, the dose should be increased. In this case, the patient can take 100 mg, meaning 2 tablets of 50 mg daily, for 5 days. However, increasing the dosage to more than 100 mg per day is not recommended. Also, if the clomid treatment does not work at all, starting another one is not recommended.
Now, there are a few common, less severe side effects you may develop. These side effect can be developed by taking almost any medicine, really. So, you can develop headaches, tiredness, trouble in sleeping, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting, restlessness, nervousness, bloating, blurred vision, stomach or pelvic pain, vision problems, sensitivity of eyes to light and so on. If you happen to develop any of these side effects, consult your doctor immediately. Even though they are less severe side effects, they can grow into more severe if they persist. If you, however, develop more severe side effects, report to the FDA and again, consult a doctor.
All in all, what you must keep in mind is to consult a doctor before starting any similar treatment. Your doctor will tell you whether you should or should not start a treatment, what are the risks and what you should avoid while you are on treatment.
Ambien, also known as Zolpidem, is a drug used to treat insomnia (sleep problems). By taking Ambien you will be able not only to fall asleep faster but also to have a "peaceful" night. You will be able to sleep better, have a better night's rest. It is a sedative-hypnotic drug that helps you calm down and have a good sleep.
There are a few online pharmacies that will sell you Ambien without having a prescription. However, I do recommend you to go to a doctor first and tell him about your sleep problems. A doctor will always be able you tell you whether it is or it is not good for you to take Ambien. If he considers you should not take Ambien, he will surely find another medicine to treat you with. Sometimes you don't even need medicine to help you fall asleep but do something that calms you down, such as reading before sleeping or listening to music, anything that helps you relax when you are tensioned.
Now, one of the main reasons why I recommend you to consult a doctor before taking Ambien or any other medicine without a prescription is because you do not know the right dosage for you. The Ambien dosage is decided upon your age, gender, medical condition, other medications you may be taking, and response to treatment. Obviously, you cannot decide alone which is the right dosage for you, you need a doctor. If you really want to avoid the doctor, keep in mind that it is not advised to take more than 10 mg per day. Also, Ambien is advised to be taken before going to sleep.
Buying Ambien without prescription might cause you trouble, you might develop side effects. Dizziness is a common side effect you can develop. Also, the need for sleep through the day is also a side effect. Should you develop any of these, contact your doctor immediately, no matter whether you have taken Ambien with or without prescription. These less severe side effects can develop into more severe ones if you don't consult your doctor. Needless to say, there are very serious side effects you can develop if you buy Ambien without a prescription. You can lose your memory temporary, your can have mood, behavior and mental changes such as depression, confusion, hallucination, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, aggressive behavior, agitation and so on).
All in all, I believe the best thing for you is to go to the doctor and discuss whether you should or should not take Ambien. As I said before, I do not recommend you to just buy Ambien without a prescription as it might make you develop unwanted side effects. Although there are websites and legit online pharmacies that sell Ambien, I recommend you to stay away from them until you talk to your doctor. Needless to say, after you talk to him, if he does prescribe you Ambien you should ask him where you should buy it from. This way you can be sure that you are safe.


text: I have a set of tubulars I've been racing road on for a couple years. I'm thinking about using them for Cross this season. However, I want to know how much of an advantage I'll be getting over clinchers given that I'm pretty light weight. I weigh around 135-140lbs and run my CX clinchers around 30-40psi which feels really soft but I think I can go lower. Will I be able to run tubs a LOT lower in pressure? What are the advantages otherwise?

Tyreke Evans is Very Unhappy Playing Small Forward
The Sacramento Kings have enough to worry about. On top of consistently being one of the worst teams in the league in recent history, they have the headache that is talented big man DeMarcus Cousins. Now, they seem to have even more trouble.
Former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans reportedly is very unhappy that the team has been using him as their small forward. Evans primarily played point guard his rookie year, which is where he was most successful. However, due to his size/athleticism, and the flooding of guards onto the team's roster, he has been moved to small forward from time to time, most notably late last season.
It's an experiment that Sacramento thought might pay dividends by having extra playmakers on the floor, with the possibility of having Thomas/Thorton/Evans in the game all at once. But Tyreke is having absolutely none of that.
According to Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated, he has made it clear to the team that he wants to be a ball handling guard, and not a wing player.
Evans has very recently been linked to Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors with the draft upcoming. Rumors were flying about a trade that would send the number 5 pick and Evans to Houston for Kyle Lowry and two first round picks. This would allow the Rockets to offer the number 5 pick, number 18 pick, Tyreke Evans, and Kevin Martin to Orlando for Dwight Howard.
Wherever he ends up, Evans is a very talented player and has a ton of upside to be an extremely good player in this league. Sacramento should strongly consider inserting him back as their starting point guard or trade him, because he doesn't seem content with anything else.

Picture: Matthew McConaughey Screening of 'Planet In Peril held' at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 17.10.07
Matthew Mcconaughey has got his girlfriend PENELOPE CRUZ so hooked on roadtrips across America, she's applying for her driver's license so she can get behind the wheel.
Free-spirited McConaughey treated the Spanish actress to her first proper US roadtrip last year (05), when he took her travelling in his beloved Airstream trailer - and now she can't wait for their next adventure.
The movie hunk says, "She gets the simplicity of this tribe (travellers)."
But Cruz refuses to rough it, like McConaughey is often forced to: "If it's winter, I'd better make damn sure the heat is working."

My taste are different now. I mix high and low items. I found a nice store in my area that has dresses for under $20 and I will mix them with my chic sweaters, mid priced heels and leather handbags. I also tend to buy more needs than wants.

Yes, the economy has changed my shopping habits. I bought a lot of Fall wardrobe pieces this summer and now I have been returning most of the items to bring my monthly credit card balance down. The good part: It forced me to really focus on the key Fall pieces that would enhance what the clothes I already have.
cnyc1a 7 years
Instead of buying 4 bags each season I'm only buying 2. I guess more than anything it's helped me purchase items that are classic. My most recent huge purchase was a fur coat. I've now decided that if I want something trendy there are stores like Topshop that I can rely on. I've also noticed a shift in my style choices. I'm now dressing more gypsy, hippie, rock n roll type. I'm drawn to labels I might have not worn in the past.
julieulie 7 years
Absolutely. It's hard for me to cut back, because I HAVE the money -- when I can put away a thousand in savings, and pay off a few thousand of husband's medical school loans, and still have money left over for shopping, it's hard to have the restraint to not spend and put it all into savings! Especially when I work 90 hours/week and my only self-indulgence was treating myself to some new shoes!

No, it wasn't me.
I know and have ridden with the guys who did, and I wanted to share their story.
Two friends from BikeJournal did a ride last week in their "neighborhood". One lives in Ft. Collins, CO, the other in Loveland, CO.
Starting at 5am, they rode the Grand Loop, from Loveland, Big Thompson Canyon, over Devil's Gulch into Estes Park, up Trail Ridge Road to 12,300' altitude, down the other side to Grand Lake and Granby, south to Frazier, Winter Park, and Berthoud Pass, then east to Idaho Springs, along I-70, and north to Golden, then north along the foothills back to Loveland.
One ride
226.1 miles
15 hours 3 minutes ride time
17 hours 45 minutes total time (5 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.)
14,000 ft. of vertical elevation
12,300 ft. max. altitude
15.0 ave. speed
45 mph max. speed
I am entirely impressed, even though one of them is only 49.
These are the same guys who convinced me--a lifelong lowlander and flatlander, who smoked for 35 years and was only in his third year of cycling--that I could to go Colorado, climb Mt. Evans on one day, and ride a century from Loveland up to Peak-to-Peak and across to Estes Park and back down two days later.
If it wasn't for them, I couldn't have done it, nor would I have even tried.
Anyway, their story begins here, or you can skip right to the ride report, including photos, map and elevation profile (gasp!) here.

Shrewsbury Town: I'm not here for a swansong - Andy Robinson
Former Leeds and Tranmere winger Andy Robinson says he signed for Shrewsbury Town to be successful and not as a "swansong" to end his career.
The 34-year-old finalised a one-year deal with the League Two newcomers last week and insists Town are going places.
"I think it's going to be a good season, there's a good blend of youth and experience - now I've signed," Robinson told BBC Radio Shropshire.
The Mellon men
Shrewsbury's contracted players for 2014-15:
Goalkeepers: Mark Halstead, Jayson Leutwiler, Callum Burton, Harry Lewis
Defenders: Dom Smith, Nat Knight-Percival, Mark Ellis, Mickey Demetriou, Jermaine Grandison, Ryan Woods, Connor Goldson, Cameron Gayle
Midfielders: James Wesolowski, Dave McAllister, Aaron Wildig, Liam Lawrence, James Caton, Ashley Vincent, Andy Robinson, Jordan Clark
Strikers: James Collins, Scott Vernon, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro
"I've not come here for a swansong, I'm here to win things and get better."
The Shrews were relegated last term after finishing 23rd in League One but Robinson, who has been at the club during the current pre-season, thinks they are well placed to make a serious tilt at promotion.
"The lads have got to take that on board and play with a bit of arrogance," added Robinson.
"Let's go and prove why people are tipping us, there's a squad in there that's capable of doing something this year."
Robinson joined the Shrews on the same say as former Barnsley youngster Jordan Clark, with boss Micky Mellon continuing to rebuild ahead of the new campaign.
Mellon, who became manager in May, has brought in 15 new players and Robinson says the feel around the the club is vibrant.
"There's a lot of optimism around. It's really exciting to be part of it," he said.
"I've not come here not to be successful and I'm itching to get out there and be part of it."
