I wear these for working at Macy's, and they are excellent. Have had a full year, and they are going strong and look terrific. I bought them after not getting support from my current shoes, and from day one they fit perfectly, my feet never hurt no matter how long the shift or how much running around I'm doing, and I feel well at the end of the day. They look nice with black, and I wear sometimes with my regular clothing. It's great that they can go with the skirt as cute flats, and bonus - they grip icy sidewalks. One of the most secured soled winter shoes I've ever had. Highly recommend. I'm a size 5, regular width.

I bought these to wear as work shoes, thinking they would be more durable than the already durable and comfortable Malindi shoes. I'm sure they are more durable but they are FAR from comfortable. Maybe it takes wearing them in a bit but I don't have the time or patience to do that with work shoes. These made my feet hurt after wearing them for an hour. At the end of an 8 hour shift, I felt like my feet were going to fall off AND I had blisters from wearing the shoes. I had even worn them with socks to hopefully keep blisters from happening. If your feet swell at all then these aren't the shoes for you.

Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
The fit was not good. I have skinny feet and these were still too big in the width and the strap is up way too high. Also the little bumps inside the shoe made my feet so sore and blistery (I even wore socks that day) I will never attempt crocs again. I hate them and my feet hate them. However my husband bought the bistro shows and he loves them.
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
Please make more office type shoes, like Alice Work with out the strap.
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
These crocs are SO comfortable! love everything about them!
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
Cute shoe but very snug sizing; had to return the shoe
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
Pretty comfortable but I got a 6 when I'm normally a 6.5 and they are very wide on my foot so it almost doesn't fit because of the width. I don't know if I got a defective one because I bought some other ones in a different style same size and they fit perfectly.
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
I have wanted a pair of shoes for work for 6 years and these are so comfy and easy to clean from food spilling on them in the restaurant. I have never been more proud to own a pair of crocs.
Comments about Crocs Alice Work:
I really like the style and color but the shoe is too narrow for me. I wish this style came in the more relaxed type fit.

Q:Is this waterproof? Can I use it when raining? Is there a store near me were I can try this model? Ca 94928Asked on 4/28/2016 by Teresa from Rohnert park ca
1 answer
A:This shoe is made entirely of Croslite, so the body is able to get wet with no worries,The Alice is not designed for water use, so submerging them and wearing them very wet for long periods of time could damage the glue that keeps the slip-resistant sole attached shoes. With that said, his shoe is made entirely of Croslite, so the body is able to get wet with no worries, just be sure to dry in a cool shaded place.Answered on 4/28/2016 by Cosmic Cassi from Crocs

There is a saying that Asian parents and older Asians in general like inserting themselves in our lives. They want to pass on their knowledge and wisdom by giving their opinion on everything. Everything. They will tell us how we ought to handle school, how to keep our complexions maintained, and even enforce a handful of cultural urban myths that make absolutely no sense, but must be followed because the elders say so.
So when we finally reach an age where dating is acceptable to our parents (ie. the age we finally stop hiding our significant others from them), our parents and relatives believe thats it's their born duty to give us love advice. Awkward? Yes. Makes no sense? Sometimes. Funny? Always.
Since we have an abundance of it, we've decided to share this wisdom and knowledge with you. Here is our own account of Awkward Love Advice From Asian Parents:
Disclaimer: These are all actual things that our parents/relatives have told us, but by no means do we actually believe in or endorse this advice at all. We find it just as awkward as you do.
"Don't talk to him/her too much. Then you will run out of things to say and then you will start fighting. And then you will break up. No happy ending."
"If you're out on a date and he can't decide what to order, he's no good. If he keeps changing his taste in food, then he'll change his taste in women."
"Don't date men who are too pale. They are weak sexually."
"Check out the girls' mother. That's what she'll end up looking like in 20-30 years."
"Marry someone who is ugly so he will never cheat on you."
"If you marry a girl with a widow's peak, you would die early."
"When your husband gets home from work, put some makeup on so that you don't look like a sick person. Men are visual creatures."
"If a man has a mole on his lips, thats good. It means he's a good kisser. If a woman has a mole on her lips, thats bad. It means she gossips too much."
"Be like his mother. Men like women who remind them of their mothers."
"Don't be like his mother. Men hate when women remind them of their mothers."

Don't worry though, we have a lot more XC Full Suspension in stock than that.View Similar Products
Orbea Occam 29 Carbon Mountain Bike Frame $0.00
Orbea is perhaps best-known for its association with the Euskaltel-Euskadi professional road racing team, but the Basque company is creating quite a bit of buzz in the off-road world as well. When we described the 26-inch Orbea Occam Carbon, we touted its utility as a superior endurance racer due to its comfortable, active suspension, lightness, and meticulous craftsmanship. Of course, we stand by that claim, but 29er fans now have a big-wheeled, trail-taming option from Orbea -- the Occam 29 Carbon Mountain Bike Frame.
Like the 26-inch Occam Carbon, the Occam 29 Carbon uses Orbea's Silver grade carbon fiber. The front triangle is molded as one piece, with no joints. This process keeps the weight low while also increasing strength. Also similar to the 26-inch Occam, the seatstays are made of aluminum. Since the seatstays on any frame are subject to compressive forces, and carbon fiber is weakest in compression, this is an intelligent material substitution.
Despite these design parallels, the Occam 29 Carbon is not simply the 26-inch Occam, tweaked -- it was developed as an all-new platform using Orbea's Advanced Dynamics technology. From the earliest stages of design, Orbea analyzed the Occam 29 Carbon's performance in a computer simulation with virtual riders on board. Why is this so important? The variable and dynamic forces exerted onto a mountain bike by the rider are an integral part of how the bike accelerates, stops, and tracks over bumps, so it makes sense that Orbea considered these forces in their design process from the get-go. Of course, when a prototype was ready, Orbea replaced their virtual riders with real ones for exhaustive on-trail testing.
It's unfortunate that in some mountain biking circles, the phrase 'single-pivot' has become synonymous with 'unrefined' or even 'archaic.' This is nonsense. Single-pivot suspension designs such as the one found on the Occam 29 Carbon are still relevant, and often preferred, for good reason. When designed well, they're tough, lively, predictable, and -- when mated with a good shock -- easy to set up and tune. The Occam 29 Carbon's main pivot is located on the seat tube, above the bottom bracket. This neutral location strikes a superb balance between pedaling efficiency for climbs and sprints, and plushness for freewheeling descents. A 2013 FOX FLOAT CTD shock performs the squishing duties and yields 105mm of smooth rear-wheel travel. Adding to the Occam 29 Carbon's theme of sophisticated simplicity, this shock has a new CTD (climb, trail, descend) damper that makes adapting your tune to the terrain as easy as flicking a switch.
One oft-lamented characteristic of single-pivot full-suspension bikes is brake squat, the suspension compression that occurs when you grab a handful of rear brake. This brake-induced compression is often felt by the rider as stiffening of the rear suspension. It's important to point out that nearly all modern full-suspension designs, including much-hyped linkage designs, squat while braking. However, single-pivot designs have a reputation for squatting/stiffening more, and to some riders, this is an undesirable trait.
To resist brake squat, the Occam 29 Carbon incorporates a concentric pivot at the rear axle. As a result, the brake caliper is not wholly beholden to follow the arching path of the chainstays, which form the main levers of the swingarm, as the suspension cycles. That freedom of movement results in more active suspension under braking, producing a ride quality similar to that of a more complex four-bar suspension system, or a single-pivot bike with an aftermarket brake floater. End result? With the rear brake on, the bike will stutter less over bumps and have improved traction.
When looking at a 29er's geometry, two measurements we always examine closely are head tube angle and chainstay length, and we like what we see with the Occam 29 Carbon. At 17.5 inches, the chainstays are sufficiently short to allow for nimble traverses in switchbacks. We also feel that the 70-degree head tube angle (with a 100mm fork) is spot-on, because it creates stability, but allows for the kind of minute steering corrections that are sometimes required to keep momentum-carrying 29-inch wheels on line.
Orbea designed in clean cable routing by running the rear brake and rear derailleur housing along the top of the down tube, secured by bolt-on guides. The front derailleur cable is internally routed through the frame to shelter it from contaminating muck. Hard plastic down tube and chainstay protectors ensure that the carbon finish in those areas is not marred by kicked-up rocks or chain-slap.
The Orbea Occam 29 Carbon Mountain Bike Frame has a 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inch tapered head tube, and you can run a 100mm or 120mm front fork. The rear dropout accepts either a 12x142mm thru-axle or a standard QR. The brake tabs are the post-mount style. You'll need to pair the frame with a 31.6mm seatpost and a 34.9mm high clamp/bottom pull front derailleur. The Occam Carbon 29 comes in sizes Small through Large. All Orbea frames have a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defect.

Does the Occam Carbon frame have the kashima...
Does the Occam Carbon frame have the kashima coat Fox rear shock?
Unfortunately, the shock is not a Kashima shock on the Occam Carbon frame.
This bike is killer!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got this frame about a month ago on sale as an upgrade from a large Santa Cruz Tallboy 1 carbon. This frame fits me much better than the old one due to the long top tube ( the sizing from Orbea is on the larger side but that allows for a shorter stem ). I have rather odd body geometry which means that at 6ft 1 1/2in I have long arms with wide shoulders, a long torso, but short legs (32 inch inseam pants drag on the ground for me) . I ended up running a 120mm Fox Float Factory 32 Kashima in 15qr to raise the bottom bracket and slack out the head tube angle. I picked up a dropper post for my crazier out of town rides but have a standard KHS Q2 carbon post with a lighter seat for the local lung killing spins. For the local build I have it at 24.65lbs with stout parts and the dropper pretty much adds 350 grams so it's still very light. Mine came with a shock remote that at first I wasn't happy about but once I began to use it I can't imagine the bike without it. The rear end is pretty much the same thing as the DW Split Pivot and Trek ABP. From what I have ridden it feels like a slacked out Trek Superfly 100. I demoed an Ibis Ripley a while back and it was a strong contender but the price and lifetime warranty on the Orbea Occam C was too good to pass up. If you're a taller rider that needs to stretch out when they ride then this bike will do a fine job for you. With the 12x142 upgrade from Orbea this bike is a super stiff fast but surprisingly maneuverable race/trail rig. At this price it is a hard deal to pass up!

Trey Hillman Media Session: Greinke's Cy chances, Wakefield's knuckleball
Cy Young Support
Manager Trey Hillman was asked about his stance on the possibility of his ace (Zack Greinke) receiving the Cy Young award in the American League this season. "I am a little prejudiced here, but I have not seen anyone this season pitch as well as Zack has. I by no means have seen every contender for the award pitch this season, but what Zack has done this year is incredible. Both mentally and physically, I think he has separated himself from every other pitcher in the league. As every start nears, I look forward to the opportunity he has to garner more acclaim and make more believers out of people. I hope his lack of run support does not diminish his chances of winning, this is an individual award, and he should not have to suffer because of our lack of run production."
Knuckleball 101
So what do you do when Tim Wakefield comes to town to face your team? "It isn't easy man, when a knuckleball pitcher is on it is extremely difficult to manufacture runs. You do the best you can, taking an attack approach while simultaneously trying for a middle of the field approach. It's tough because there has to be some sort of batting adjustment, meaning you will have to compromise your stance a little. Most players are unwilling or not comfortable with that so the advantage goes to the pitcher, he already has you off balance. When the ball is moving all over the place, fluttering, and sinking like a rock, you just hope for the best," said Hillman.
1 Comment
I want to do this delicately. What is wrong with Trey Hillman?
This manager saw his team get out to a fairly good stop in April, then the team folded, and all Hillman could do was to remain in a catatonic state.
He sat on the bench with his mustache and refused to put Soria in before the 9th inning, when the Royals were abused by middle and setup relief. It was only after the team went down the tubes that he reversed strategy and had either the wisdom or guts to put Soria in when the game counted. It was like Moses came down from the mountain and said "your best pitcher cannot come in before the 9th inning."
Then — and the only reason I can imagine is that he would have been fired otherwise — he finally started using Soria in situations that even a Single-A manager would understand.
After another humiliating season, the Royals have suddenly found religion. But Hillman sits there in the same catatonic state, mumbling words, as if it was the computer "Hal" that is explaining himself.
Is the KC news media so intimidated, incompetent or unprepared to hold this organization's feet to the fire?
Whatever Hillman is — mustache or not — remains an enigma. What is clear is that is has no relevance as a leader — to the players, to the fans, or to the media.
Is there any chance this man (who is likely a good, innocent person) will be allowed to preside over a losing team of his own making? Anyone, anyone in KC media, or KC fans, please shed some light on this — if not for me — at least do so for the organization's good.

This Week
"This Week" Continued...
Inventing a candidate (by Cal Thomas)
You might think that a post-election cruise for conservatives sponsored by National Review would resemble a wake, mourning the White House loss. Far from it. The success in maintaining a Republican majority in Congress has given conservatives a confidence they have mostly lacked in the post-Reagan years. The Christian Coalition's Ralph Reed made the most intriguing remark when he told me that "we are going to have to invent a presidential candidate for the year 2000." By that he meant finding a person who already subscribes to what most conservatives believe rather than attempting to squeeze a moderate-to-liberal Republican into an ill-fitting ideological suit. Perhaps this person would resemble former Wyoming Republican Sen. Malcolm Wallop, who presented a speech on the cruise that he had delivered the previous week to the economically conservative Cato Institute. Mr. Wallop listed specifically how and why conservatives should extricate themselves from a party mentality. There are too many to recount here, but the first step is to stop viewing the party as the exclusive property of Rockefeller Republicans who have by default been setting the party's agenda. Those Republicans have lost the White House twice in the past two national elections, compared to the three-in-a-row victories delivered by two Reagan administrations and one Bush administration. As conservatives dominate the intellectual and political high seas, Mr. Wallop had a word of caution: "My concern is with the character of American conservatism... . In Europe conservatives long ago gave up the principled battle against the welfare state, became just another set of claimants and have taken up the anti-immigration cause, not without racism. If you want to see a conservatism more niggardly and with less of a future than Nixon's, Dole's, Pete Wilson's, or Christine Whitman's, just go to Europe. The American conservative tradition, which began with Washington and Adams, is founded on a concern for character. No phrase came from Washington more often than 'we have a national character to establish.'" Mr. Wallop correctly asserted that America, with each passing year, resembles less what the Founders intended and more like the countries our immigrant forefathers fled. Conservatism has obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is the stereotype of "mean-spiritedness" and "selfishness." But like big ships, great social movements take time to turn around. Conservatives are on the right course. The question is, should they be on the Republican boat or abandon ship? copyright 1996, Los Angeles Times Syndicate
The love of money
Harold Nicholson was a day away from his 46th birthday when he checked in at Dulles airport for a flight to Switzerland to mix business with pleasure, and ultimately meet up with the woman he'd planned to marry. Then the FBI arrested him. The 16-year CIA veteran was charged with selling secrets to Russia--specifically the names of all the new CIA recruits from July 1994 to July 1996--for $180,000. U.S. Attorney Helen Fahey made known the weekend arrest Nov. 18 and denounced Mr. Nicholson as a man who "betrayed his country for money." He's the highest-ranking CIA official ever charged. The next day, FBI officials said the Russians may have inadvertently given evidence that Mr. Nicholson was working for them. Russian officials said they were seeking information on Chechnya; shortly thereafter, Mr. Nicholson allegedly began seeking information on that country, which he did not need for his CIA work. An Alexandria, Va., grand jury formally indicted Mr. Nicholson Nov. 21; his court-appointed lawyer says the accused double agent will plead not guilty at his December arraignment.
The land down under
President Clinton got out of town one step ahead of potential legal troubles. As the president was enjoying a working vacation in Australia, the U.S. Supreme Court set a date to hear the case of a woman who claims Mr. Clinton made aggressive sexual advances toward her in a Little Rock, Ark., hotel in 1991. Oral arguments in the Paula Jones case are slated for Jan. 13, a week before Mr. Clinton's second inaugural. At issue is whether a citizen can sue a sitting president for acts that occurred prior to his taking office. Also while the president was away, Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros announced Nov. 21 he'd soon be leaving town--making him the seventh of 14 cabinet members to quit since Mr. Clinton's reelection. In tendering his resignation, Mr. Cisneros said he needed to make much more than the $148,000 a year he earned as HUD secretary to support his two daughters' educations--one in college, the other in law school. What Mr. Cisneros didn't mention was his growing indebtedness to the law school graduate representing him in a special counsel probe to determine whether he lied to the FBI about payments to a former mistress. Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton's former law partner and former Clinton administration assistant attorney general Webster Hubbell testified Nov. 19 to a grand jury about payments he received from business enterprises controlled by Indonesian financier Mochtar Riady. Mr. Riady's Lippo Group is at the center of a controversy over foreign-linked contributions to the Democratic Party. On Nov. 20, Mr. Hubbell left federal prison, where he is nearing the end of a 21-month mail fraud and tax evasion sentence, and took up residence in a Washington, D.C., halfway house. He was convicted of stealing almost half a million dollars from Rose Law Firm clients.
Out of Africa
The planned multinational intervention in Zaire is looking a lot less multi. On Nov. 19, the United States scaled back its previously committed 4,000 troops to less than 1,000 logistics specialists. The change in plans came amid reports that more than a half million Rwandan refugees have left camps in eastern Zaire and returned home. Departing Defense Secretary William Perry called the resettlement a "very positive development." Along with the logistics personnel who will deploy primarily to help distribute relief aid, participating countries will be providing a heavy supply of so-called "morning after" birth-control pills. Relief workers from the United Nations and the Red Cross say they want to help refugee women "avoid" unwanted pregnancy.
The "moral deficit"
After winning by acclamation the support of his party to remain Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich extended a kinder, gentler hand of cooperation to the president. Mr. Gingrich termed the 104th Congress elected in 1994 the "Confrontation Congress"; he said the 105th would be the "Implementation Congress." Tops on the implementation agenda is a balanced budget, but Mr. Gingrich said he hoped the new Congress would also address the nation's "moral deficit." Mr. Gingrich said, "We have an obligation to reassert... that this nation comes from God, that it is in fact only successful when it is submissive to God's will. I'm not suggesting here in any way a state religion. This country will never again be healthy if we don't have the courage to confront the spiritual and cultural and moral deficit that is an even greater threat to our future than the economic deficit."
Culture rot
In Delaware, police charged two unwed 18-year-old college students with murdering their 6 pound, 2 ounce newborn son. Brian Peterson and Amy Grossman, who grew up in the affluent suburbs of New York City, are accused of killing the child after Miss Grossman gave birth in a motel room, not far from her university dormitory. An autopsy suggested the child had been shaken and beaten to death before being stuffed in a plastic bag and thrown in a trash bin. In an interview with Fox television, Mr. Peterson's attorney audaciously claimed murder was the wrong charge: "[My client] did not commit murder. He committed a crime of bad judgment because no two teenagers [who] have no medical training should be alone in a motel when a baby is being delivered." If convicted of murder, the two teens could face the death penalty. A South Carolina man, seeking revenge on his estranged wife, reportedly shot and killed her four children as they slept, leaving them as a "Christmas present" for her to find. One of the children was the man's own son; the three others were his stepchildren. Police later found the body of the man in a nearby reservoir, an apparent suicide. Nearly one child in 10 is living with parents who have never married each other, according to a congressional report released Nov. 19. That's up from 0.4 percent in 1960. Also rising, according to a separate report issued the same day: sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). A committee of the Institute of Medicine said the United States now has the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases of any developed nation in the world. One-fourth of the estimated 12 million new cases of STDs each year are among adolescents. What to do? One choice is "delaying sexual intercourse," but for those who just can't say no, the committee recommended distribution of free condoms through government schools.
Tragic circumstances
A week of public hearings opened Nov. 18 into the mid-May crash of ValuJet Flight 592. At the hearing, the government released a transcript of the plane's cockpit voice recorder. "Completely on fire!" were the final words heard on the tape. Crash investigators believe improperly packed or stored oxygen canisters in the DC-9's cargo hold may have started or fueled the fire. Later in the week, a federal safety inspector conceded his agency had cut corners on approving ValuJet's operations procedures because it couldn't keep up with the airline's rapid growth. Near Quincy, Ill., Nov. 19, two planes collided at a runway intersection at a small airport. All 13 crew and passengers of the planes died in the collision. One of the planes, a commercial commuter aircraft, had just landed. The other, smaller plane was getting ready for takeoff.
New Era settlement close
Christian ministries, colleges, and charities burned in the collapse of the Philadelphia-based Foundation for New Era Philanthropy are one step closer to getting some of their money back. A bankruptcy settlement, worked out by many evangelical groups affected by New Era's collapse, had been held up by Prudential Securities, which was being sued in its role as New Era's investment broker. Under a Nov. 15 agreement, Prudential promised $18 million to be distributed to New Era's creditors if all lawsuits against the brokerage company are dismissed. The agreement must be approved by a bankruptcy judge.
Whither public education?
Business leaders worried about United States competitiveness in the 21st century found no comfort in two new education reports. The first, issued Nov. 19, showed American schools are making little progress toward a series of education goals set by the nation's governors in 1989. Despite six years of work toward the goals, the report said "overall performance is virtually static." Among the elusive education goals: increasing high-school graduation rates and raising reading scores. On Nov. 20, the Department of Education released results of the largest international study ever of how school children around the world perform in math and science. Students from 41 countries participated, with American eighth graders coming in 28th in math and 17th in science.
Air bag update
Responding to public concern over the danger that air bags pose to young children, small adults, and the unborn, the Transportation Department decided to allow drivers to have their air bags disconnected. Auto air bags have been linked to more than 50 deaths, including the deaths of 30 children.
Hard bargainer
Pope John Paul II, revered by millions as an anti-communist hero, met Nov. 19 with Cuba's communist leader Fidel Castro at the Vatican, a meeting that Mr. Castro described as "a miracle." The pope promised to visit Cuba in 1997, but only after extracting a promise that he would be allowed unrestricted travel access and be allowed to speak to anyone he chose. On several occasions, John Paul has voiced opposition to the long-standing U.S. economic embargo of Cuba, saying it hurts the poor. As street crowds chanted, "Down with the Communists," Romania's "ex-communist" leader was booted out of office in a run-off election Nov. 17. The new Romanian president, one-time college professor Emile Constantinescu, won by taking a page from an American political playbook of 1994: He developed a Contract with Romania that promised economic growth and rapid government reforms.
In brief
Emergency workers Nov. 18 rescued 34 people, choking and praying, from the English Channel tunnel after a fire broke out on a freight train, forcing the train to stop 11 miles into the 31-mile tunnel. The heat and smoke were so intense that it took firefighters eight hours to put out the blaze. At least 39 people died as steel-melting flames roared through the top four floors of a Hong Kong highrise Nov. 20. At least 80 people were injured in the blaze, which began at the bottom of an elevator shaft that acted as a flue in sending flames shooting to the upper floors of the 16-story building. In Puerto Rico, at least 20 people were killed and more than 80 hurt Nov. 21 when an explosion in Puerto Rico blew apart a six-story building. A Mars-bound Russian spacecraft failed to break out of Earth orbit Nov. 17 and crashed into the Pacific Ocean 1,800 miles off the coast of Chile. At first, it was thought the debris would scatter over northern Australia, which created something of a panic on the eve of President Clinton's visit to the country.

Day 6 traditionally features one special test. The 2012 course was a super moto style using portions of the paved Saxonring road race circuit combined with off-road supercross style sections. The riders were broken up into motos by bike class and event ranking. The action was fast and exciting.
Team USA's Mike Brown won the Final E1 moto overall, and the rest of the USA World Trophy Team did well enough to move up from 7th to 4th place on the final day, passing both Finland [2011 champs] and Spain.
The Junior Trophy Team placed third, which was excellent for an inexperienced team. Jeff Fredette added finish 32 to his string of ISDE runs. Fred Hoess collected yet another gold medal and is the American with the most gold medals.

Texas: Arrest Federal Officials Attempting To Enforce Any New Gun Restriction Laws in Texas
Newscast Media AUSTIN, Texas—This headline has been brought to my attention after the Drudge Report posted it on their Web site. It has to do with a new proposal called the Firearms Protection Act, being introduced by a Texas lawmaker. The Act makes any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines, illegal in the State of Texas.
On January 14, Newscast Media presented a two-part argument based on a recent Supreme Court decision showing why banning any modern firearm would be a violation of the Constitution's Second Amendment.
According to a January 15, article linked by the Drudge Report, Republican Rep. Steve Toth says his measure also calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce any new gun restriction rule in the state.
"If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution. The bill would make attempting to enforce a federal gun ban in Texas punishable by a $50,000 fine and up to five years in prison," Toth said. The full article can be read here.

NY let guide keep license amid charges, complaints
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York kept the owner of Hudson River Rafting Co. among its licensed outdoor guides — despite two charges against him of reckless endangerment and a dozen citations of his guides for unlicensed whitewater trips.
That's because New York — unlike many states, the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service — regulates the guides themselves, not the companies.
This fall, an Ohio woman drowned on one of the company's Adirondack trips, and her guide was charged with criminally negligent homicide.
Owner Patrick Cunningham, who's taken thousands of clients down the Hudson, and guide Rory Fay denied the charges.
Their state licenses were suspended after the attorney general got a court order to temporarily shut down the rafting company.
The case continues.

7 Things You Must Know About Energy Drinks
Ask a room full of people about energy drinks, and you're likely to get a room full of different responses. Some people love them, some hate them, and a fair amount fall squarely in the middle. Shape Magazine attempts to shed some light on the issue by breaking down what energy drinks contain, and how they can affect the body.
Whether you're a regular consumer of energy drinks, or only pop the tab of one occasionally, there are some things everyone needs to know before consuming one.
Energy Drinks Aren't All Bad All the Time
Everyone has one or two things in their lives they need extra and energy and focus to accomplish. Personally, I turned to energy drinks during sorority recruitment to stay awake and enthused during a long week of mingling. For others, energy drinks can be used to stay alert at work, or power through your workout.

The days are getting longer and warmer, meaning it's time to pull yourself out from the comfort of your winter layers and revive your sluggish energy levels and winter wobble with some exercise.
If you want to feel body confident this summer, now is the best time to start your fitness regime.
But drumming up the motivation and feeling inspired to step into your exercise gear and get active can be harder than you think, explains fitness trainer and coach, Tim Weeks.
"Motivation is a lot more complex than people realise. It is what causes us to act. It is defined as 'the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal oriented behaviours'. It is therefore not the simple fact of flicking on a motivation switch.
"It involves so many layers; the biological, emotional, social and cognitive forces that activate behaviour. Confused? Well this is why it is so hard to get motivated as you actually have to attack motivation from lots of angles to then find the recipe to 'get going'".
However, with a little help from these motivational workout tips, you'll feel more inspired (and enthusiastic!) in preparing your exercise regime and most importantly, enjoying yourself while you're at it.
How to 'think yourself fit' this spring by fitness trainer and coach Tim Weeks. Follow Tim on Twitter
If there is no passion in what you do, even the greatest motivation power wont get you over the first hurdle. Loving what you do makes the whole 'fitness experience' a lot of fun. Think of it like your job: hate your job and the week drags by. Love your job and nothing is ever a problem and motivation is constantly high.
Due to your natural peaks and troughs of ones mood (especially for women due to menstrual cycle), you need to have 4 or 5 different activities to choose from depending on your mood. If you really can't be bothered, having an easy option like a walk will mean you don't need superhero powers to motivate yourself to get off the sofa. Try as many different activities as you can until you find a few that 'click'.
However cliché this sounds, it works. This doesn't necessarily mean signing up to the London marathon or climbing Everest. It might be trying to complete a lap of the park jogging without walking.
Anyone can write a programme. The real talented trainers out there have something very special about them. Look at Jose Mourhino. Love him or hate him. He has an amazing ability to motivate people and unlock peoples potential to allow them to reach new heights. Having that 'motivator' at your side should be able to unlock that 'belief' within you that everyone has. Look for someone who is interested in your long term development. They can actually help you put all of these 10 items in this list into place. Not just getting ready for the beach in 4 weeks time.
'Stuff' happens in life that you have to deal with as you go along (good or bad). Build a support network of good people around you for when bad times arrive. It therefore means you don't always have to rely on will power. Having good people around you can actually kick start your motivation for you without you even realising.
If you get feedback from another person, their enthusiasm can help you feel valued. If you feel good about yourself, you naturally enter a self generating positive motivation cycle.
This may sound ridiculous but it can work. Put a chart on your fridge for 10 sessions. When you have completed all 10, treat yourself. Buy an item like a handbag, a pair of shoes or a book. The physical item is a nice reminder to yourself of how amazing you are and what you have achieved.
Sometimes having a friend giving you a kick up the bum is really helpful. You can actually motivate each other. Especially useful if one can't be bothered.
If you go over the top and set yourself totally unrealistic goals (eg I am going to exercise everyday) the low you feel is VERY low. You then need superhuman motivational powers to get back on track. Don't put yourself in the position in the first place.
If you exercise regularly, at some point you will hit a motivational lull. Therefore, when you go on holiday, enjoy yourself. Forget exercise. It will recharge your brain so you get back that hunger.

The new arrangements approved by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China and the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship allow persons travelling to Australia on any Australian visa to travel without a physical visa label in their passports (i.e. "label-free visas").
These following arrangements apply to Chinese and other nationals departing from in the People's Republic of China:
If you are travelling from an airport in Mainland China to Hong Kong (or any other international transit point) en route to Australia, it is strongly recommended that you ensure that the airline at your point of departure is able to issue your boarding pass to Australia. The Ministry of Public Security has advised that unless a passenger has a boarding pass for Australia, he/she will be unable to travel with a label-free visa. In this situation, you should request for a visa label with the relevant Australian authorities, or reconsider your route.
For more details of this new arrangement, please refer to the website of the Australian Embassy in China:

|Never forget
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
A small group of community members gathered on a cool Wednesday morning, Sept. 11 to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terrorist attacks on that same day 12 years ago in 2001. They stood around the American flag, flown at half-mast, at First Christian Church on Interocean Avenue in Holyoke, each holding a small flag for this Patriot Day event.
Linda Langelo, pictured in front at right, explains what life was like living in New York following the attacks. She concluded by saying that out of chaos comes love and the chance for America to start fresh. Pastor Merle Powell, pictured in back at left, led a prayer for the gathering. He also emphasized how an event like these attacks gives people such a change in perspective for their lives.
The remembrance event was concluded by others noting where they were when they first heard about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, N.Y. The Sept. 11 gathering was sponsored by Holyoke Chamber of Commerce and Phillips County Extension.

Hello -
Although the boards haven't been to active lately (unfortunately, now that I actually need the help!), I'm hoping to throw out the question and see if anyone is able to provide some ideas...
I'm looking for a venue in a hotel (with the main goal of convenience for the guests) that is reasonably priced (under $15k for rental, food, etc. for about 150 guests). Character, a nice setting, etc. would be a great plus and it would have to be about an hour to an hour and a half from Boston.
So far, I've looked at the Newton Marriot and the Waltham Westin. Any other suggestions along these lines? I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you can provide!

Photo Gallery | Mint Obsession
Ok i admit it! In the last couple of months i have been obsessed with all things MINT!
As we transitioned from Winter to Spring the hottest colors of the season started emerging. Peaches, canary yellows, and pink hues usually dominate during this time of year but nobody was expecting this new pigment to take on the fashion scene! From "Tiffany" blue to pastel green, the spectrum of "Mint" is wide and easily attainable! We are seeing accessories and shoes taking on this refreshing color to add just the right amount of POP to any great outfit. Even more good news? Males are rockin' the mint duds too!
Target and Kohls are up to date on their Spring 2012 collections which means that the Mint Obsession is displayed throughout their stores. Accessorize with a scarf, purse, or bracelets if you want to stay on trend without taking the mint clothing plunge.
I put together a photo gallery of mint done right...Enjoy!

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Japan: 90-day report from Japan
Japan: More than up to the challenge
Since mere moments before Japan's tsunami hit, and after long weeks of enduring its aftermath, Tsutomu Nakai has been faced with a series of unimaginable decisions. Some saved his life, and his family's lives. Other decisions put their personal lives on hold.
Japan: A small and opportune oasis
Right now, the city of Rikuzentakata, Japan is a food desert — a place where it's nearly impossible to find and buy fresh, nutritious food. Grocery stores and other shops were washed away by the tsunami. The closest markets are at least a half-hour away by car.
Kyrgyzstan: Vegetables out of thin air
Sary-Mogol is a very remote village in the Chon-Alai region of southern Kyrgyzstan, located at 3,000 meters above sea level.

On a recent crisp spring day in Osh, I was milling about one of our distribution sites in the Alymbek-Datka neighborhood, chatting with program participants.
Haiti: What is your wish for Haiti?
This is not the type of question you hear very often here. Everyone talks about what Haiti needs: shelter, infrastructure, healthcare. But it is rare to ask Haitians what they wish for their country.
Haiti: Market fairs acting as mobile money boot camp in Haiti
On May 13, the Haiti Economic Recovery Team arrived on site in Saint-Marc's 5eme section to witness our first market fair.

MORGANTOWN - Steubenville's Shaq Petteway did this regularly in high school.
On Saturday, he introduced his game to West Virginia fans.
Petteway led the Mountaineers with 10 tackles and was in on 1.5 sacks, including one for a 10-yard loss on a third-and-6 play late in the first quarter. It was the first sack of his career.
Defensive coordinator Joe DeForest suspected a guy like Petteway was well-suited to make plays against TCU because of what it does on offense, so he unleashed his sophomore.
"We were counting on Shaq versus what they did offensively. We needed him on the field more," DeForest said. "We gave him an opportunity to play. We've moved him around from Star to Buck to Will linebacker and he did a good job of adjusting."
At times, Petteway looked like he was playing against Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
"The coaches came to me and they challenged me so I took advantage of my opportunity I was given," Petteway said. "I just went out there and tried to make plays. I think I did that."
Still, it wasn't enough, as the Mountaineers lost their third in a row, this one on a two-point conversion play in overtime.
"It's a hard one to swallow," Petteway said. "I feel like we should have won it multiple times throughout the game. I'd rather get blown out than lose like that."
A special teams mixed bag
Tavon Austin's second kick return for a touchdown in two games, this one a 76-yard punt return (WVU's first punt return for a score since Vaughn Rivers in 2006) showed continued progress in the special teams.
That unit, too, had taken its share of criticism in recent weeks, but head coach Dana Holgorsen said he has seen more positives than a lot of untrained eyes and felt a lot of it was unjust.
Then he added a little more.
"On special teams, we played well other than the people who were snapping it and kicking it," he said.
Placekicker Tyler Bitancurt did hit a career-long 52-yard field goal early in the third quarter, but he missed four others, including a 36-yarder in overtime that was blocked but would have won the game had it been good.
He also missed from 50, 43, and 55 yards. He's 4 of 9 for the season (the block is credited to team).
The two attempts of 50-plus yards Saturday were one more than he'd even attempted from that distance in his four-year career.
With eight points, Bitancurt passed Jay Taylor into third place on the WVU kick-scoring list with 316 points.
Other highlights
Shifting through the rubble of West Virginia's first three-game losing streak since 2004, there were some highlights.
With 101 yards, Austin upped his school-record 100-yard receiving games to 12, and he had his seventh double-figure game in terms of catches this season (he had 11 against the Frogs). Quarterback Geno Smith, whose day was termed "very average" by Holgorsen, threw a pair of touchdown passes and has 35 in his last nine games.
With a 25-yard TD catch in overtime, Stedman Bailey upped his single-season school record to 15 of those.

Cabelas just had a Coyote contest a few weeks ago and I know Sportsmans does it too.
Some locals here in NE NV just had the first contest of the season, I know there are more planned throughout the summer.

-NRA Life Member
I've missed the year more then connected. I've called in a few and went out two weeks ago in the evening but nothing. I would rather hunt in the mornings. Good luck! We just had a cold snap so I'm thinking of going this week too.
Any luck on the Predator hunting? Didn't make it out like I wanted to.

Richner Communications to acquire L&M Publications
Long Island's largest community newspaper publisher continues to grow
1 2 3 Next page >
Publishers Clifford and Stuart Richner announced July 10 that Richner Communications has agreed to acquire L&M Publications, a Long Island weekly newspaper group that includes Merrick Life, Bellmore Life, the Freeport-Baldwin Leader and the Wantagh-Seaford Citizen. Both Richner Communications and L&M are privately held companies, and terms of the sale were not announced. The sale is expected to close this quarter.
Stuart Richner said that the acquisition would expand the reach of the Herald Community Newspapers, the company's 15-paper group, across the South Shore and solidify its place as the Town of Hempstead's leading community news outlet.
"It's a strategically sound move for us," said Cliff Richner. "It strengthens our presence in the Freeport, Merrick and Bellmore communities and extends our reach eastward into Wantagh and Seaford, something we've been wanting to do for some time. It will enable us to better meet the needs of our advertisers."
"It's great to be a part of Richner Communications and watch the company grow throughout the years," said Rhonda Glickman, RCI's vice president of sales. "This new acquisition will give us even greater strength. I look forward to meeting people in our new territories."
L&M's flagship newspaper, Merrick Life, was founded in 1938. Faith and Johannes Laursen, both daily newspaper journalists, purchased it in 1958, adding Bellmore Life, the Freeport-Baldwin Leader and Wantagh-Seaford Citizen to their newspaper mix. Their daughter, Linda Toscano, has led the papers for many years as publisher, while her brother, Paul Laursen, has served as editor.

My condolences to the residents of Freeport, Baldwin, Merrick, Bellmore, Seaford, and Wantagh for losing your local papers. Richner Communications' formula is to publish a Newsday-lite paper – very little reporting on local activities. Oceanside's former local paper, The Oceanside Beacon which was bought out by Richner over 10 years ago, is still sorely missed by Oceanside residents.

By Nicole Auerbach, USA TODAY
Ryan Lochte's mother knows how hard he trains and how busy he is, trying to be the best swimmer in the world.
So she's warning girls everywhere that Ryan doesn't have time for a girlfriend - in case they were curious.
"He goes out on one-night stands," Ike Lochte told Today.com while being interviewed on the set of NBC's Today show. "He's not able to give fully to a relationship because he's always on the go."
This is the latest in a string of recent comments/hints about the kind of girl and/or relationship Lochte is looking for.
He told ESPN The Magazine that 70 to 75% of athletes in Olympic Village will have sex with other athletes during the Games, and he was looking forward to the partying and hookups. "My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend - big mistake," Lochte said before the Games started. "Now I'm single, so London should be really good. I'm excited."
Lochte also recently answered this question for Women's Health magazine: What do women look hottest in?
"One of my long-sleeve button-down shirts and that's all," he answered.


text: Well I managed to take a nice mule deer in Colorado, at least he was nice to me. He has a couple of stickers off of the back. I was able to stalk up to 48 yards before I ran out of cover. It's always nice to start out the year with a pope and young animal!

Saina Wins Third NCAA Title
EUGENE, Oregon – Iowa State's Betsy Saina pulled away on the last lap from Wichita State's Aliphi Tuliamuk-Bolton with 300 meters remaining to capture the NCAA Division I 10,000 meter title Wednesday night Hayward Field.
Saina won her third NCAA title as a Cyclone with a time of 33:08.85. Saina, who became an All-American for the 10th time with the win, traded places twice with Tuliamuk-Bolton before cruising to victory.
Saina, still with one race remaining at the NCAA Championships, will be a contender in a loaded 5,000 meter field on Friday evening.
Wednesday's victory by Saina went according to plan.
"I trusted my kick," Saina said. "The plan was to extend as little energy as possible because I still have to run the 5,000 meters. I was never nervous during the race. I hope I can go out with a smile on Friday."
Iowa State head coach Corey Ihmels showed no anxiety during Saina's victorious 10K effort.
"I knew that she has so much experience in big meets," Ihmels said. "I was confident that she would do what was needed to win with the big picture (the 5,000 meter race) looming on Friday. She could have won by more but it was part of our strategy for this week."
Fellow Cyclones Dani Stack and Meaghan Nelson both competed in the 10K alongside Saina. Stack took 14th place with a time 34:38.10. Nelson finished just behind Stack, taking 16th with a time of 34:46.70.
The Okoro sisters and shot-putter Jan Jeuschede also competed for the Cyclones on Wednesday in Eugene. Ejiroghene Okoro took 14th in the prelims of the 800M run with a time of 2:05.77. Eseroghene Okoro finished 13th in the prelims of the 400M hurdles with a time of 58.71.
Jeuschede, a true freshman from Rosrath, Germany, finished 21st in the shot-put with a throw of 57-06.50 (17.54 m).

BATAVIA, NY (WGRZ) -- A Batavia woman who was found guilty of punching an elderly Walmart greeter in the face last Christmas eve was sentenced to five years in prison.
Twenty seven-year-old Jacquetta Simmons was taken into custody right after the judge handed down the sentence.
A jury found Simmons guilty of punching 70-year-old Grace Suozzi.
Simmons was convicted under the state's "Granny Law," which gives stiffer penalties for an assault on someone 65 or older.
Simmons attorney says they plan to appeal the sentence.

Lindsey Graham is dead wrong on libertarianism; should be primaried
As Mark Levin calls him, the "Arlen Specter of South Carolina" is running his mouth against libertarians again. Associating them with anti-war liberals…oh wait, where have they gone? Anyhow, you might remember one of his previous attacks, in which he claimed libertarians have no place in the Republican party.

(Sports Network) - The Detroit Pistons will try to finish off an odd
homestand Tuesday night with a second straight victory when they host the
Orlando Magic at The Palace at Auburn Hills.
This is the fourth and final game of a homestand that featured a game on
Thursday in London where they were the home team against the New York Knicks.
The Pistons came back to Detroit and toppled the Boston Celtics, 103-88 on
"Just getting back in the gym after getting back from London and getting that
jet lag out of there and get some shots up, we got some great workouts in with
the coaches and guys prepared for this game."
The Pistons never trailed against the Celtics and built a 27-18 lead after the
first quarter. Boston closed the gap to a point early in the third, but
Detroit went on a 15-4 run and the C's never threatened again.
For the game, the Pistons never trailed and led by as many as 19. They shot
47.4 percent from the 3-point line and held the Celtics under 40 percent for
the game and under 27 percent from long range.
Rookie Andre Drummond led the way for Detroit with 16 points. Greg Monroe,
Brandon Knight and Will Bynum each had 15 and Tayshaun Prince and Kyle Singler
scored 14 and 13, respectively.
Orlando has last two in a row, both at home, and 13 of its last 15. They are
struggling, but have taken both of this season's previous matchups with the
Pistons, including a 110-106 victory in Detroit on Nov. 16.
After Tuesday's battle, the two sides will meet on Sunday in Orlando to end
the season series.
On Sunday, the Magic lost at home to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs took a 10-
point lead into the final quarter and held on to run the Magic's January
record to 2-7.
"We'll continue to work," said Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn. "That's the best
part of it, we've got games ahead of us. We'll continue to work and that's our
best approach."
Glen Davis paced the Magic with 24 points and Jameer Nelson chipped in 20.
Nikola Vucevic registered yet another double-double with 14 points and 11
J.J. Redick and Arron Afflalo both scored in double digits.
The Magic have won three in a row against the Pistons and are 3-2 in their
last five in The Palace.

Sumatra Blue Batak "Tarbarita" Peaberry
This is a unique peaberry lot from Sumatra that has outstanding sweetness and a nice zesty finish when kept in the City+ range. To do this on the Probat we used some elements of the profile from the past few weeks, i.e. building up a steady charge and then pulling back on the heat as the coffee enters first crack. Final temperature ended up being 434 degrees and each batch took about 16 minutes to roast. I started reducing the gas when the thermoprobe read 380 degrees which occurred around the 10-11 minute mark. The resultant cup is bright for a Sumatra coffee and has a syrupy quality. When we test roasted this coffee the Full City level roast had some redeeming qualities but the sweetness fades quite a bit and the finish is less zesty. But this is one of those coffees that is quite enjoyable at a wide range or roasts. This would be a good candidate to roast at home to different levels and then (after proper resting time) cup them side by side; you'll notice marked differences between the City+ and Full City roasts and may even find that a blend of the different roast levels suites your pallet perfectly.
