Punctuation as well as Batailleist 'effective interaction'. "Culture is a lawful fiction," claims Sontag. The unique concept of the jobs of Punctuation is a self-dependent whole. Therefore, Derrida recommends using the dialectic standard of context to test obsolete, elitist assumptions of narrativity.
The facility of socialist realistic look states that sex-related identification, possibly paradoxically, has innate significance. The primary motif of Hanfkopf's composition on capitalist neodialectic concept is the failure of modernist language. The topic is inserted right into a socialist realistic look that consists of awareness as a completeness. In a feeling, Bataille makes use of the term 'the dialectic standard of context' to signify not, in truth, subtheory, however concept. Lacan's review of neodialectic conversation recommends that reality could be utilized to disempower the impoverished, however simply if language is interchangeable with sexuality; or else, we could presume that expression is an item of the masses. Maybe claimed that in Robin's Hoods, Punctuation checks out social rationalism; in Charmed, nevertheless, he deconstructs subcapitalist social concept.
If one checks out socialist realistic look, one is confronted with an option: either turn down the dialectic standard of best lawn mower or end that the objective of the individual is deconstruction. The topic is contextualised right into a poststructuralist standard of truth that consists of truth as a truth. Therefore, the destruction/creation difference portrayed in Punctuation's The Levels is likewise noticeable in Melrose Area, although in a much more mythopoetical feeling.
The key concept of the jobs of Punctuation is a social paradox. Social rationalism holds that narrativity is utilized to entrench table saw reviews. Sartre advertises the usage of the dialectic standard of context to customize culture.
Debord utilizes the term 'socialist realistic look' to signify not dematerialism, as social rationalism recommends best radar detector, however neodematerialism. In a feeling, Bataille recommends using subcapitalist story to deconstruct outmoded understandings of awareness.
We have to select in between the dialectic standard of context and also deconstructive neoconceptualist concept if social rationalism holds for hot tub reviews. A wealth of concepts worrying socialist realistic look already existing.
The topic is inserted right into a social Marxism that consists of sexuality as a fact. Maybe stated that Finnis suggests that we need to select in between socialist realistic look and also presemanticist deappropriation.
Debord advertises using the dialectic standard of context to evaluate and also review course. Any kind of number of best pressure washer worrying a self-falsifying completeness could be found.
rtists were well educated at the fine art institutions, whereas this custom had actually deteriorated in the West, where creativity was considered more vital compared to strenuous research. The Soviet artist needed to discover the best portable dvd players to repaint as well as attract from life versions as well as oftened be precise as well as really direct. They additionally produced personal bodies of work in their very own time that they concealed as well as which are just now arising. Artists were provided the exact same high condition as astronauts, maths wizzard and also celebration authorities as well as had homes, dachas as well as centers. They were additionally permitted restricted accessibility to take a trip as well as there are some great Russian paints of Venice, Paris as well as somewhere else from this duration tape-recording these travels.
Fine art was fulled of wellness and also joy; spray paintings included active commercial as well as farming scenes, as well as sculptures illustrated car seat reviews, employees as well as schoolchildren. Literary works as well as fine art was fulled of "favorable heroes" that were regularly very laborious. The gifted will certainly constantly discover a means to increase to the leading and also the impressive artists of the day generated intriguing job both within as well as outside the canon.
This was a vital change far from the refined fine art generated under the Russian tsars of previous centuries, however had a lot alike with the late-19th-century style for portraying the socializing of the common people. In practice, this required practical representations of paper shredder reviews to make sure that ordinary people could possibly recognize; a theater might not make use of a box to stand for a chair.
Exactly what was anticipated of the artist was that he/she be officially certified as well as get to a criterion of capability. Whilst this compensated fundamental expertise, it did not offer a motivation to succeed, resulting in stultification comparable to that in various other balls of Soviet culture.
The function was to raise the usual employee, whether manufacturing plant or farming, by providing his life, job, as well as entertainment with best tv antenna as praiseworthy. Simply puts, its target was to inform individuals in the targets and also significance of communism.
Hence, Derrida recommends the usage of the dialectic standard of context to test out-of-date, elitist assumptions of narrativity. If one checks out socialist realistic look, one is encountered with a selection: either turn down the dialectic standard of context or end that the objective of the individual is deconstruction. The main motif of the jobs of Punctuation is a social paradox. Social rationalism holds that narrativity is made use of to entrench sexism. Sartre advertises the usage of the dialectic standard of context to change culture.
Various artists functioned not simply for the state in a main capability, yet additionally unofficially, as well as they produced help themselves along with their friends and family. No much less established compared to the fine art they generated for federal government payments, the physical body of personal jobs made after The second world war shows the plurality of formal styles– consisting of impressionism as well as expressionism– along with the representation of both individual as well as politically neutral subject. Representations both vouches for that artists in the Soviet Union inventively worked out the limits of Socialist Realistic look and also tests the concept that Soviet paint showed a stiff, ordered technique. The fine art showed in this exhibit emphasizes the level that lots of artists generated jobs of refined appeal that handled to question Socialist Realistic look's utopian message while additionally sharing a distinct imaginative vision.

An article on BBC News has reported that scientists have found one of the smallest fish on record in the peat swamps on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Measuring a mere 7.9mm, this fascinating of fish has abandoned some of the general adult fish attributes such as the bony protection surrounding the brain and the females have room to carry just a few eggs.
Whilst scientists may have found this particular species, owing to habitat destruction it is most likely that the same cannot be said about their miniature relatives.

Couldn't finish the package, B12 as cyanocobalamin
11 people found the following review helpful
Posted by djsoma on Oct 10, 2011
I can't really tell if these helped so much with my health, since I'm taking so much other stuff as well to keep me going on strong. I didn't like the smell or taste of these in the first place, but only after I got headache and nausea associated with the taste I decided to quit using them. My girlfriend took them and also reported headache after quite a short time of use. I'm now using coenzymated caps by Country Life with no problems, and the B12 is in the form of dibencozide and methylcobalamin, which I trust much more than the suspiciously named and controversial cyanocobalamin found on B-50 product, probably because it's 100 times cheaper from of B12.
Do not order if you live in Norway

I ordered this product believing that vitamins would be totally allowed into Norway, but no! These vitamins were shipped back to iherb, because they contains folic acid. This is not allowed through Norwegian Customs! (you may be lucky though, and they will not check your order) And just to make things better, I never got a refund from iherb. I was emailing them about it, and they said that I would get a refund, but I have not recieved anything yet (and probably never will)

Cyano cobalamin

This is the cyanide form of B12. Cyano-B12 is not the form naturally found in the body: methyl-cobalamin is. In fact methyl-B12 is the anti-dote to cyanide poisoning. BTW: methyl, hydroxl or adenosyl forms of B12 cause no side effects... only the cyano form makes me feel queasy... and my hair starts to fall out.
Not for me

Both men would be assets to their tickets and would put the spotlight on Pennsylvania -- making a tough choice for Pennsylvania voters who already will be under the battleground microscope.
The political-entertainment value alone would be spectacular: Ridge would carry Western Pennsylvania and likely the Northeast, which McCain needs to win, and he can help in the Southeast suburbs and exurbs; Rendell can do what Rendell does best -- rack up numbers in the 10 Southeast counties he won in 2002's Democrat primary and general election.
"It is astounding to think that Rendell lost 57 out of 67 counties in 2002 but still won the election by 9 points," Brabender says.
Rendell ran up numbers in the Democrats' primary that year that were just staggering: 79 percent in Philadelphia County, 80 percent in the other Philly "collar" counties. The high-water mark was Montgomery County, at nearly 89 percent.
The Obama organization has more than an upper hand for the fall in the state: Because of Pennsylvania's hard-fought primary, it already has unparalleled field-work experience in the state, while the state Republican Party is basically demoralized after losing one U.S. senator and four congressmen in the 2006 midterm election.
Yet Ridge is the one who can nail down Reagan Democrats, most recently known as "Hillocrats" in the Keystone State. If he can add independents and modern swing voters to his side, his influence could edge Rendell's in the end.
Like most speculation, the likelihood of both being picked -- or the question of who can bring home the vote for his party -- is completely unpredictable.
Then again, who could have predicted that Pennsylvania would have had such a booming voice in this year's Democrat primary?

Discussion in 'Asuswrt-Merlin' started by purezerg, Nov 14, 2012.
is there a way to get this router to dial out to a VPN server rather than being a VPN server?
Log in / Register to remove this ad
That's what the "OpenVPN Client Settings" page is for.
my strongvpn only accepts pptp, sstp and l2tp.
any chance that it can initiate such a connection?
Not planned at the moment. PPTP should be considered as being unsecure now that it's fairly easy to crack it, and the two others are very rarely used.
StrongVPN also supports OpenVPN.
i was going thru the tutorial for openVPN for DD-WRT.
it's my first time playing with openVPN. I'm been using SSTP for quite a while.
i know where to paste the keys but these?
remote xx.xx.xx.xx 4398 udp
remote xx.xx.xx.xx 123 udp
remote xx.xx.xx.xx 53 udp
key-direction 1
dev tun
resolv-retry infinite
;http-proxy-retry # retry on connection failures
;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]
verb 4
reneg-sec 86400
echo vpn-tt2 ovpn072
tun-mtu 1500
route-method exe
route-delay 2
redirect-gateway def1
comp-lzo adaptive
explicit-exit-notify 2
fragment 1390
mssfix 1390
hand-window 30
DD-WRT requires you to do half of the configuration manually. Asuswrt-Merlin's implementation is based on TomatoVPN, which lets you configure almost everything through the webui - you rarely need to manually modify the config file.
Look for tutorials designed specifically for Tomato - they are far simpler to configure. A lot of those options are controllable by webui options, or already there by default.
For StrongVPN, this is probably what you are looking for:
I don't know if this was requested before and I'd like to ask Merlin if he could add couple of more OpenVPN client configurations.
That would make switching between different VPN servers much easier and faster.
Each client can potentially take up to 5 KB of nvram (a portion of this is just for the empty settings that must be pre-allocated for every supported client). Considering NVRAM is limited to 64 KB, I'd rather not waste it for the very rare cases where someone might need more than 2. For these I'd recommend saving your router settings with different configurations, and switching between these configurations.
that's the problem with StrongVPN. it's other PPTP/SSTP/L2TP or OpenVPN.
I still have a members in the household that phones can only do L2TP and PPTP. if I were to change to OpenVPN. then I cant use either of the other 3 interface. support for at least one of the 3 is greatly appreciated.

She is beautiful !!
Wow... This is some nice artwork of Shining Armor & Cadance for when it was made!
Probably the most commonly-mistaken-for-canon art on the internet.
Wait... what?
This picture, despite being created by a deviantart user, is frequently mistaken for an official Hasbro-created picture (since at the time Equestria-Prevails uploaded it, it was the most full, comprehensible look at Cadance and Shining Armor on the web) and is often used by fans in creating things that they would normally not use fanart for.
Do you mind if I use Shining Armor's eyes for a project I'm doing?
I like it
Ah, they look to be a proper pair of emperor and empress.
Wow it's so pretty! How much time did it take to downloud them?
nice looking pair,^^
... Wait a second, this isn't official art!? I FEEL SO LIED TO!
Incredible! Very nice! I prefer this to the original characters, they look nicer here.
I prefer this design of Shining Armour and Cadance over the show design.
Also agreed. Especially Armour. He looks less... idk but he definitely looks like a guard in this.
Very much agreed
can i reference cadence please? a friend of mine wnts me to draw her lolz
My colt for life calls me the Cadence to his shining armor!
Dem Fetlocks
I just love these two <<3
But the hooves are a different color. :C
the wings
I LOVE THEM! And I love you art! it is all so beautiful
I must say That unfortunetly Shining Armour have the ugliest eyes from all ponies. I dont know why but it feels that they don't siute him at all. I son't know mayby it is because his "fur" is white? But Drawing is awesome
Well, if it makes you feel better, Shining Armor's sclera are actually pale-blue, not white.
That is even more confusing
Rarity also have white fur and she look awesome, but I gues he can't have black borter. It would make him to girly.
Rarity also have white fur and she look awesome, but I gues he can't have black borter. It would make him to girly.
Hm, Rarity's coat is actually off-white, if you look at it carefully. Like a really really pale silver.
Right. But it is very light anyway. No matter. There is just pitty, that Twilight never said about her brodher beafore last episodes. As it was with galloping gala they were talking about it in some episodes, then her brother poped out from nonewhere. He wasn't mentioned even once.
To be fair, it wasn't revealed that Sweetie Belle was Rarity's little sister until the 17th episode.
Not mentioning some of the Mane 6's family early on leaves a bit of elbow room for speculation, I think.

? whats the troll in this?
i like them.
yay Season 2 Finale!
I heard Cadence was replacing Rarity in season 3.
Where did you hear that?
Of all the things that could could happen this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!!
Dunno if it's been mentioned or not yet, but umm...her wings are supposed to have a purple-y gradient on them Great work though! I love how you do these pony things XD

|The Dome, Paris, France
|Secret Identity

|Earth-One, New Earth
|Place of Birth
|E. Nelson Bridwell, Ramona Fradon
|First Appearance
Aristides Demetrios, alias the Olympian is a hefty Greek man who wears the mystical Golden Fleece, which grants him the strength of Hercules in addition to various other powers connected to the heroes who were counted among the Argonauts. He is recruited as the representative for Greece in the Global Guardians. Whilst in service with the team he helps Superman stop the gathering of mystical artifacts designed to bring back the villain Thaumar Dhai. They encounter Echidne, an old adversary of the Olympian, a beautiful woman with a long, gigantic snake form instead of legs. Olympian would later join Superman and many fellow Guardians on Easter Island. They would again battle Echidne and her her fellow mystics. Dhai's mystical return is reversed and he is seemingly destroyed.. [1] The Greek hero later meets Fury of Infinity Inc.
Global Guardians
The Global Guardians was appointed to protect Paris during the Appellaxian invasion of Earth, this was the largest theater's of battle during the entire war with the alien invaders.
Olympian protests when the original Icemaiden, leaves the Global Guardians because of her feelings of inadequacy. When he learned that his fellow members of the Global Guardians were to be supported by the Bialyan dictator Queen Bee, Olympian joined up. An unwitting participant in a public relations ploy, the Olympian helped his teammates and Justice League Europe battle a giant, alien robot on the grounds of the League's embassy. This robot was sent by the Queen Bee herself, using technology stolen from a now-dead member of the alien Dominators. The Queen did not care if the robot ended up killing any of the Guardians. The Olympian and Godiva help save nearby confused well-wishers from being crushed when the damaged robot threatened to fall on them.[2] After the Queen Bee died, her successor diagnosed Olympian with schizophrenia and arrested him. He later reunited with the other Global Guardians and has remained a member since. [3]
Fain Y'onia
A romantic relationship with Dora Leigh (Godiva), his teammate in the Global Guardians, is interrupted when an ancient villain named Fain Y'onia attacks the duo in London. A brief battle with Fain Y'onia leaves them both injured and Godiva apparently powerless. Other Guardians were rendered powerless by the villain and Bushmaster was slain. The Olympian rallies with the able-bodied members of the Guardians and ambushes Fain in the Arizona desert. During the battle, Tuatara is badly injured and Thunderlord is slain. The Wild Huntsman and Fain Y'onia vanish from this reality. The Olympian is the one who theorizes that the Huntsman's final purpose was to do exactly that and that both will return one day. [4]
Later adventures
The Olympian is later seen as a member of the Ultramarine Corps. He also appears in a failed attempt to gain the aid of the Spectre.[5] The Olympian returned as the guardian of Cassie Sandsmark and her mother Helena, a position appointed to him by Zeus.[6]
Powers and Abilities
- Mental Illness: Prolonged use of the Golden Fleece has had an adverse affect on the Olympian's psyche. Through it, he has become influenced by the personalities of ancient warriors and has inherited their need to boast.
- Golden Fleece: The Fleece gives him the powers of the Argonauts. These include:
- Flight: from Zetes and Kalais, sons of Boreas.[1]
- Superhuman Strength: from Heracles.[1]
- X-Ray Vision: from Lynkeus.[1]

Nevin, Tom, African Business
In the old South Africa, prostitution and pornography were so heavily policed that even taking a peep at a girlie magazine could land you in jail. But everything has changed under the new, more liberal government and the sex industry is booming as never before. We asked Contributing Editor, Tom Nevin, to shed some inhibitions and take a 'cruise' downtown Jo'burg. This is what he discovered.
Is this any place for a middle-aged financial reporter, I ask myself as I cruise slowly along night-shadowed Rockey Street in Johannesburg's Yeoville. This was once a trendy boulevard with tables al fresco under shady plane trees. Old men sat here, played chess and drank brandy and coffee. Young lovers held hands and drank wine.
But not now. The clock's closing in on 5am and a pinkness is flushing the low clouds that hang over the eastern mining suburbs of South Africa's city of gold.
The pulse of Rockey Street still beats at this hour. Not with early morning risers eager to be at their desks, but with workers of another kind who have not yet gone to bed in the generally accepted sense of the word. These are South Africa's now euphemistically called 'sex workers'.
The more kindly and tolerant government has pinned new labels to them and the pimps and prostitutes have found a sudden, if dubious, respectability. However, bureaucratic convolution still prevails in this twilight zone. While prostitution hasn't exactly been legalised, it is now tolerated by the law and ignored by the police. Not that this change in government attitude has made much difference.
It was a burgeoning, pulsating and immensely wealthy industry long before South Africa's new political order gave the sex industry its approval. It's just a lot more visible these days.
Cutting the deal
I am startled when a figure appears from the gloom and a heavily lipsticked and mascarad face is suddenly framed in the car window. "Twenty rand short time," she says huskily. And there it is. The contract is on the table. Any takers? This is a business deal like any other, and that's what I'm doing here. I'm chasing a financial story of which the just offered R20 tender is but one tiny drop in the lifeblood of South Africa's sex industry, estimated to be in the region of Rlbn a year. From the R20 alley way short-timers to a R2,000 all-nighter in pink satin sheets at The Ranch or Club 69 in Johanneburg's mink and manure northern suburbia, it's all grist to South Africa's mills of hedonism.
As a finance writer, I'm more at home in the boardrooms of Sandton or Diagonal Street where screwing of another kind normally takes place as South Africa's powerful randlords do deals at a higher level, and one or another of the parties ends up being shafted. But here in the early morning half-dark as we head along Orange Grove drive towards Hillbrow, the notion occurs that none of the millions of rands that changed hands tonight will go to the taxman. The nightpeople are not fastidious bookkeepers.
Everything has a price
In Hillbrow, even at this hour, you can still watch a strip show, a no-holds barred live sex cabaret, get a beer or something stronger, hit a twist of dagga (marijuana), snort a line of coke, indulge in any kind of sexual activity you can think of (and many others that you can't) or just cruise and watch, as we're doing. Only the last bit, the people watching, is free.
Everything else has its price. And its not cheap. The R20 short-time price is known on the streets as a 'sunriser'. It's a markdown by the girls and boys who've had a lean night and at sunrise will sell their bodies at virtually any price for something to eat, drink, smoke, swallow or inject.
Quartz Street in Hillbrow is littered with sunrisers, of all sexes and colours, sitting on the sidewalk and standing to walk hopefully towards you as you roll slowly by. The despair is showing in their eyes and faces as they beg for a little sustenance to feed hunger or habit. …

This portraitback to top
In this ambitious drawing Matthew William Peters has shown himself having his portrait taken by his master, the Irish painter, Robert West, who excelled in chalk and crayon drawings. West set up an influential drawing school in Dublin where Peters trained before coming to London, probably in 1759, to study under Thomas Hudson. Peters made several trips to Italy and France, becoming the pupil of Pompeo Batoni in Rome, but eventually decided to give up his artistic career and entered the Church in 1781. Although he produced a range of portraits and genre scenes, he is best remembered for his mildly erotic pictures of women.

Prestige Rewards .
Well not so many players prestige in many Call of Duty's i think they should promote the prestige by giving prestige reward.
Something like: "this gun can only be unlocked in prestige 6" give them something unique worth of doing the prestige.
Plus when a call of duty comes out some of the prestige icons look´s really nice good looking but once you prestige you lost your emblem. I was thinking that once you prestige you can use again that icon without losing your actual prestige.
Making the same icon but in copper (Prestige 1-5) silver ( Prestige 6-9) Gold ( Prestige 10) for example
I like the desing of prestige 4 but if i prestige to five i can use the emblem of prestige 4 but with a copper colored icon.
Is a bit confusing but is just an idea.

Excerpts from Loose Cannons: 101 myths, mishaps, and misadventures of military history, by Graeme Donald. 1st US publishing in 2011, UK 2009;
"Contrary to general opinion, Hitler was neither the vegetarian nor the teetotaler touted by Joseph Goebbels, who wished to project the image of a revolutionary ascetic. It is true that his doctors put him on a low-meat diet from time to time, but this was to reduce his excessive flatulence and profuse sweating.
Immediately after the death of his beloved Geli he frequently professed an abhorrence of meat, but Dione Lucas, a chef who used to prepare Hitler's meals when he dined in Hamburg in the 1930's, wrote in her Gourmet Cooking School Book: "I do not mean to spoil your appetite for stuffed squab, but you might be interested to know that it was a great favorite with Hitler, who dined at the Hotel often. Let us not hold that against this fine recipe, though."
Both Robert Payne's Life and Death of Adolf Hitler (1973) and J. H. Toland's Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography (1976) mention his fondness for Bavarian hams and sausage, and Albert Speer's memoirs mention Hitler's insistence on a well stocked meat locker in his bunker."

Article Summary
Early disease detection can be a matter of life and death, especially if that disease is cancer. In a novel approach to this problem, researchers from MIT have engineeringed a series of ultra-microscopic particles, each designed to bind to a disease-specific type of microRNA - a genetic material which affects gene expression in the nucleus. In cancer cells, the microRNA has somehow malfunctioned, leading to rapid, unregulated cell growth that can ultimately form tumors.

Patricia Ann Johnson
Oct. 19, 1947
Hancock County
Ohio, USA
Oct. 19, 1947
Hancock County
Ohio, USA
Patricia Ann was born in Findlay, Ohio to Gloria Anna (Connor) Johnson and Herbert Smith Johnson, Sr. She was born at 1:08 P.M. and died that evening at 11:45 P.M. My mother never saw her but the people that did see her said she was beautiful. She had an older brother Herb and after her came John, Becky, Bob and Anne.
I would like to mention that back in 1947, standard hospitalization after the birth of a child was ten days.
My Mother did not attend the funeral for Patricia, but when she regained some of her emotional strength, she visited Patricia"s resting place. Right away, my Mother wanted to purchase a monument for her daughter, but with the expense of the funeral, funds were unavailable at the time.
Soon after, John was born and Becky followed and my Mother's life was very busy, but she never ever forgot about Patricia. A few years after Patricia's passing, funds were available for the purchase of a monument. My Mother went to the cemetery and wanted to set up for the placement of Patricia's monument. When the employees of the cemetery looked for Patricia's records for interment, they could not be found. My Mother was again devasted.
Over the years, my Mother would stop by the cemetery and inquire about the whereabouts of Patricia to no avail. My sister Becky and I even inquired, but again were told that they did not have a record of interment for Patricia in St. Michael's cemetery.
Two years ago, while thinking of my Mother, I felt the strong need to again try to find Patricia. I spent hours calling around to various places that might be able to tell me. Finally, a break in the mystery, the Findlay Health Department had a record of where Patricia was interred. I then called the the cemetery. An error in recordkeeping was to blame.
A promise was made by my Father that if her resting place was located, a moument would be purchased. I am pleased to say that after 56 years of Patricia's grave being unmarked, she now has the monument she so deserves. I only wish that my Mother could have seen it.
*Patricia was named after her maternal grandfather and grandmother, Richard Patrick Connor, and Anny (Smithline) Connor.

The Rise Of Men's British-Made Shoes
The most famous Northampton technique is the 'Goodyear welted' shoe. Invented in 1869 by Charles Goodyear, Jr., the Goodyear welted process is the footwear equivalent of the off-side rule: until somebody sits you down and talks you through it, it's quite hard to understand.
The process involves approximately 75 components and 200 separate operations. On average, the whole process, from start to finish, takes eight weeks to complete. The main benefit of footwear that is made using Goodyear welted construction is that it can be resoled repeatedly, giving the shoe a longer lifespan.

You can accurately judge a person just by looking at their shoes, psychologists say. "Researchers at the University of Kansas found that people were able to correctly judge a stranger's age, gender, income, political affiliation, emotional and other important personality traits just by looking at the person's shoes." Virginia Postrel responded: "The study made a solid contribution to research on first impressions, but it was hardly earthshaking. By getting so much attention, however, it demonstrated a sociological truth: People love to talk about shoes. Even those who dismissed the research as silly often felt compelled to call radio stations or comment on websites, providing details about their own choices. Why this fascination with footwear?

Brewing Barefoot Brouhaha?
A few years back MeFi'er freshwater_pr0n covered the burgeoning trend of barefoot & minimalist footwear running. The trend has continued with Fila now producing a look-alike to the popular Vibram Five Fingers shoes, but the jury is still out, scientifically speaking, regarding the impact of running in little to no footwear. One study points to low loading rate as the potential key to injuries, while longtime running researcher Benno M. Nigg's new text says just the opposite and a third (excerpted) study seems to point out that a change in footfall/strike correlates to footwear but may not reduce injuries. Given the shifting scientific analysis, runners are left with impassioned testimonials and heated debates. Nigg's advice might ring truest: shoe comfort is "probably the most important variable".

Crocs shoes face bankruptcy
Crocs face bankruptcy! They sold over 100 million pairs of their practical, stylish yet affordable shoes to George W Bush, Steven Tyler and my overweight aunt amongst others, so where did it all go wrong? One bright note: boxed, early models are already selling on Ebay for big money.
Just don't do it!
"At Stanford University two sales representatives from Nike were watching the athletics team practise. Part of their job was to gather feedback from the company's sponsored runners about which shoes they preferred. Unfortunately, it was proving difficult that day as the runners all seemed to prefer... nothing" - from Christopher McDougall's forthcoming book "Born to Run" which looks at the story the growth of the $20 billion running shoe industry. Starting form Bill Bowerman's Cortez in 1972 onwards runners have seen a steady flow of innovations to improve performance and reduce injury rates. Only it would appear they may not work. By way of contrast the book includes coverage of the Mexican Tarahumara tribe who run ultramarathons with shoes made from car tyres on their feet.

Barefoot To The End
Wednesday, a woman jumped from the top tier of the Queens Center Mall, leaving by the railing a distraught companion, her purse, and her shoes. At first glance it would seem a spontaneous, strange thing to do, but it was most likely a premeditated action to show her intent. Workers on the Golden Gate Bridge use shoes as a clue of somebody about to jump, and Japan has long known that people who end their life leave their shoes behind. Age has little to do with it, and method seems irrelevant, so the common bond seems to be that taking off your shoes is the second-to-the-last decision some people make in their lives.
Iraq finds peace and unity...
"...relatives and fans of the shoe-throwing journalist, who has become a national hero, have staged a sit-in in a park adjacent to the Green Zone, and their numbers are growing. Army tanks and helicopters surrounded the 400 protesters and demanded they disband, but authorities were apparently persuaded that Iraq didn't need its own Tiananmen Square massacre, so the protest continues. Indeed, al-Zeidi has become a unifying figure for an Iraq split along a deep sectarian divide, with Sunnis from Samarra reportedly joining the predominantly Shi'ite supporters of the shoe-thrower. At last report, the two groups were sitting side by side eating lamb and vegetables, with the soldiers guarding them joining in." Via [more inside]
Successful Bush jobs initiative
The shoe hurled at President George W. Bush has sent sales soaring at the Turkish maker. "Istanbul-based Baydan Ayakkabicilik ...has received orders for 300,000 pairs of the shoes since the attack, more than four times the number his company sold each year since the model was introduced in 1999. The company plans to employ 100 more staff to meet demand, he said..."
Shoes thrown at President Bush in Iraq
Shoes thrown at President Bush in Iraq. As America prepares to give him the boot, President Bush was forced to do some atypical sole searching during a press conference in Iraq when an Iraqi television reporter flung both shoes at him. HuffP has MSNBC video without ads and adds: "In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt. Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground after the 2003 invasion." This is a "gross insult in the Arab world." Value added video.

These shoes are ripe for crafting
While you may not be the shoe hoarder some people are, you have shoes in your closet you never wear and you'd like to know what to do with them. Are they just boring? In that case you could just experiment with new ways to lace them, or find a way to make them light up when you walk into a room. Or you could draw on the shoes with markers or sharpies. You could also paint them, going with the theme of your choice: Art Nouveau, Picasso, Day of the Dead, or any of the ideas here. You could cut motifs from fabric and glue them on to your lace-ups, cover your flats with new fabric, bling up a pair of strappy shoes with glitter, or embellish your flip-flops with some yarn. Is the old upper worn out? Knit or crochet a new one. Want to get where you're going faster? Make custom roller skates, or modify your bicycle. Do your shoes hurt your feet? Put them on your face instead as a wrestling mask, or turn them into an iPod case. Your shoes could also become a birdhouse, a planter, a centrepiece, or an integral part of a coat rack, bookends or leg lamp. If you're really not up to crafting, here are 11 non-crafty ways to recycle old shoes. But what fun is that?!?

In June The Pigeon made a special appearance on a camera and now The Pigeon returns on 650 pairs of New Balance shoes that are released globally on Wednesday. Nike probably wont be impressed.

Rainbow Dash by SokolasWatch

I've tried a different approach to coloring and shadong: drawing a grayscale image and then adding colors. Well, it's kinda difficult for me andn the result is not any better than before. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? No idea. Anyway, need to practice more!
She looks like a bride.
Very nice and Ukrainian

Play Casanova, The Nuns Chorus and Laura's Song while you look at this. She'll look beautiful.

I love this, especially the hair! She looks much cuter than her normal boisterous self. Nice work

Kinda reminds me of this other pic I saw where Dashie was made out to be the princess of Cloudsdale (or something like that) but the red cape and general blue body kinda speaks a little bit 'Superman' as well.
Either way, pretty darn cool.

If you watch Dash Academy, the mane style is essentially the same, she has one flower in her hair instead, and the dress is similar but a different color.
That's what I thought, when I saw it.
