The latest data available on the state distribution of R&D performance are for 2001. R&D, like other economic activities, is concentrated in a handful of states. Patterns of R&D activities vary considerably among these top R&D-performing locations. In 2001 total U.S. R&D expenditures were $274 billion, of which $256 billion could be attributed to expenditures within individual states, with the remainder falling under an undistributed "other/unknown" category (appendix table B-17). These totals include R&D performed by industry, universities, Federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
In 2001 the 20 highest-ranking states in R&D expenditures accounted for 85 percent of U.S. R&D expenditures, whereas the 20 lowest ranking states accounted for only 5 percent. The five states with the highest levels of R&D expenditures (in decreasing order of magnitude) were California, Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and they accounted for over 40 percent of the entire national effort. The top 10 states, which included New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Washington (ranked 6th through 10th), accounted for almost two-thirds of U.S. R&D expenditures in 2001 (table 12). California alone accounted for one-fifth of the $256 billion U.S. R&D total, exceeding the next highest state by over a factor of three.[26]
States vary significantly in the size of their economies because of differences in geographic location, population, land area, infrastructure, natural resources, and history. Consequently, state variations in R&D expenditure levels may simply reflect differences in economic size or the nature of their R&D efforts. One way to control for the size of each state's economy is to measure each state's R&D level as a percentage of its gross state product (GSP).[27] Like the ratio of industrial R&D to net sales, the proportion of a state's GSP devoted to R&D is an indicator of R&D intensity. New Mexico, one of the smaller states in terms of GSP, had the highest R&D/GSP of any state in 2001 (table 12), attributable to the activities of Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory, which together accounted for approximately three-fourths of the state's R&D. A list of states and corresponding R&D intensities can be found in appendix table B-17.
Although leading states in total R&D tend to be well represented in each of the major R&D-performing sectors, the proportion of R&D performed in each of these sectors varies across states. States that are national leaders in total R&D performance are usually leaders in R&D performance by industrial sector, which is not surprising because industry-performed R&D accounts for 74 percent of the distributed U.S. total. University-performed R&D accounts for only 13 percent of the distributed U.S. total and is highly correlated with the total R&D performance in a state.
Federally performed and FFRDC R&D has less of a correlation with total R&D performance in a state.[28] Only 4 of the top 10 states ranked by Federal intramural and FFRDC R&D are among the top 10 states by total R&D: Maryland, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Maryland ranked first in Federal intramural and FFRDC R&D performance, followed by California, New Mexico, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The inclusion of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia in the top five ranking reflects the concentration of Federal facilities and administrative offices within the national capital area. Alabama, Florida, and New Mexico rank among the highest in Federal intramural and FFRDC R&D because of their relatively high shares of Federal space- and defense-related R&D.
The types of companies performing R&D vary considerably among the 10 leading states in industrial R&D (table 13). This reflects regional specialization or clusters of industrial activity. For example, in Michigan manufacturing industries accounted for 93 percent of industrial R&D in 2001. This reflects a high concentration of transportation equipment manufacturers, which accounted for 78 percent of Michigan's industrial R&D in 2001, whereas this industry accounted for only 13 percent of the nation's total industrial R&D. Washington, having a high concentration of software R&D, has less of its industrial R&D concentrated in manufacturing industries than the nation as a whole. Over half the nation's software industry R&D is carried out by companies in California and Washington.
The computer and electronic products industry accounts for 24 percent of the nation's total industrial R&D but accounts for a larger share of the industrial R&D in Massachusetts (42 percent) and Texas (42 percent). These two states along with California perform over 40 percent of the nation's computer and electronic products R&D. These three states have clearly defined regional centers of high-technology research and manufacturing: Silicon Valley in California, Route 128 in Massachusetts, and the Silicon Hills of Austin in Texas.
In addition, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, each home to robust chemical, including pharmaceutical, manufacturing industries, show much higher concentrations of R&D in these industries than the nation as a whole. Of course, other factors besides the location of industrial production also play a role in the location of industrial R&D activities. For example, industries tend to perform research near universities that conduct the same type of research, enabling them to benefit from local academic resources. This may explain why California and Massachusetts together account for over half of the nation's R&D in the scientific R&D services industry.
[26] Reliability of the estimates of industrial R&D varies by state because the NSF Survey of Industrial Research and Development was not designed to produce estimates at that level of geographic detail in 2001. Rankings do not take into account the margin of error of estimates from sample surveys.
[27] Gross state product (GSP) is often considered the state counterpart of the nation's GDP. GSP is estimated by summing the value added of each industry in a state. Value added for an industry is equivalent to its gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (consumption of goods and services purchased from other U.S. industries or imported). U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Gross State Product by Industry for 2001: U.S. Economic Slowdown was Widespread (Washington, DC, 2003). (See http://www.bea.gov/bea/newsrel/gspnewsrelease.htm.)
[28] Federally performed R&D includes costs associated with the administration of intramural and extramural programs by Federal personnel as well as actual intramural performance.

Auto Body Repair With Auto Twirler Plus - Major Convenience FactorWritten by on November 1, 2008 Auto Twirler Makes Body Restoration And Repair A Breeze
Convenience is the name of the game in today's high-tech world, wouldn't you agree? Name anything that requires effort on your part and chances are there's something out there designed to make it easier for you to accomplish. The classic truck world is no exception.
Major rust repair and body panel replacement are not tasks the average enthusiast typically undertakes, but for those who do, there's a gadget of convenience on the market that definitely makes life easier for the end user. For any frame-off restorations or full custom builds, the Auto Twirler Plus body rotisserie makes life a heck of a lot easier when it comes to any repair or modifications required on a truck cab or bed. And though red flags may pop up with the thought of having a hulking frame jig of sorts to store when not in use, keep in mind that along with high-end caster wheels, the rotisserie breaks down into a nice, compact unit, taking up less than half its original space.
Besides the first-class craftsmanship and design, probably the most notable factor of the Auto Twirler Plus is its ability to rotate a truck cab or most car bodies a complete 360 degrees. No longer do you have to cut out rotted metal and install patch panels on your back-all the while dodging sparks, slag, and any and all miscellaneous debris. Having the ability to move your work subject accordingly (rather than you having to adjust to it) allows you to work more freely and also gives you the opportunity to get into tight nooks and crannies without compromise. In other words, it's the ultimate convenience factor.
Again, the Auto Twirler may not be for everyone, especially if you only do a few jobs that would benefit from its use, but maybe you have a buddy or two who might be contemplating a frame-off in the not-so-distant future. If that's the case, why not round up a group of friends and all go in on a rotisserie "timeshare?!" Even if you just get one opportunity to take advantage of the Auto Twirler's fringe benefits, you'll be glad you did.
Along with its Plus model, Auto Twirler also offers a standard model (same features, except no adjustable-height hydraulic jacks) as well as a variety of brackets and accessories-including a truck cab mounting kit, adjustable door bars (great for structural work), and pneumatic tires for "off-road" use!

More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
All Auto Twirler rotisserie kits are shipped bundled as shown (a forklift may be required to offload from shipper) and are available in plain steel or powdercoated finish for an additional fee.Probably the most difficult part of assembling the Auto Twirler is unloading it in the first place! (In other words, though quite heavy, assembly is simple.) Assuming most don't have a forklift at their disposal, a standard cherry picker will suffice-just split bundles and offload in pieces.First order of business once you get all the pieces sorted out is to mount the six caster wheels, two of which are equipped with locks. For logistical reasons, the locking casters were installed at opposing sides of the rotisserie.Assembly basically entails conjoining the two sides, as each half comes preassembled for the most part, and installing the selected mounting device.The Auto Twirler's centerlink (comprised of three sections of square tubing with locking hex bolts) is also its width-adjusting device. Make sure the bolts are securely tightened whenever the rotisserie is in use, for obvious reasons.As is, the rotisserie comes with standard body mounting arms. However, along with a variety of vehicle-specific mounting attachments, Auto Twirler also offers this truck cab kit for an additional fee (under $200).The truck cab kit is designed to mount basically any cab lengthwise (as opposed to perpendicular to each side, such as a car body) with more support and better access to cab corners, rockers, and so on.Along with the Auto Twirler's adjustability comes responsibility. Keep everything cinched down tight and well balanced while supporting any body or cab! The long threaded rod is the balancing tool, aka the ACME Rod, which we'll get to in just a bit.
If you'll take a closer look, observe that the '47 was propped up on a set of beefy body jackstands. No matter what it is that you wish to mount on the rotisserie, make sure it's done so in a safe and ultimately secure method-even if that means a few of your stronger friends!Along with ensuring your body or cab is secured before mounting, it's also imperative that you mount it securely and sufficiently......In our case, that required a bit of shimming, both in the front and the rear, to keep things nice and square.To adjust the height, start with the swingarm or upside-down T at the lowest setting, as previously mentioned. With everything locked down and the 1-inch lock bolt removed, simply crank down on the adjuster with a crescent or socket wrench.You have a good range of height adjustment on the swingarm, not only making it much easier to access areas beneath the body or cab, but also......rotating the body or cab as much as 360 degrees (depending on physical size). When rotating, set the center of gravity first, balancing the vehicle so that you don't have a dangerous situation where things literally "turn" on you unexpectedly (top heavy).With a body of this size and magnitude, achieving a full 360-degree range of rotating motion is not feasible-nor is it necessary, as you can access any previously hard-to-access area now.Whenever the vehicle is in its normal upright position, make certain the ACME Rod is locked down into the cup on the rotating arm. This way, it's virtually impossible for the vehicle to turn, whether purposely or accidentally.

Amid fresh violence in Gaza, UN urges both parties to resume talks
The United Nations Security Council has called on Israelis and Palestinians to resume negotiations to reach a deal on a long-term truce.
On Wednesday, the 15-member world body expressed "grave concern" over the resumption of violence in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The council unanimously urged the two parties to make efforts to reach a "sustainable and lasting ceasefire."
The members voiced full support for an Egyptian-brokered truce initiative, and the ease of tensions in the coastal enclave.
The world body "called upon the parties to prevent the situation from escalating and to reach an immediate humanitarian ceasefire," said British UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, president of the council for August.
On Tuesday, Tel Aviv resumed its aggression towards Gazans after truce talks collapsed and the Israeli negotiators left the Egyptian capital Cairo.
While the Israelis accused the resistance movement Hamas for violating the truce by firing rockets into Israel, the Palestinians blamed Israel for the collapse of the talks.
Israeli warplanes and tanks have been pounding the blockaded enclave since early July, inflicting heavy losses on the Palestinian land.
Some 2,050 people, mostly civilians, have lost their lives and more than 10,200 have been injured despite pressure from the international community on the Tel Aviv regime to end aggression against Palestinians.
Nearly 400,000 Palestinian children are in immediate need of psychological help due to "catastrophic and tragic impact" of the Israeli war, according to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has been launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.

MLB Draft: Two Oklahoma Christian players drafted
For the first time in program history, Oklahoma Christian had a pair of players drafted in the same season.
Right-handed pitchers Cale Coshow and Chris Burgess, both transfers from Oklahoma, were picked on Saturday's third day of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Coshow, a sophomore from Deer Creek, was picked by the Yankees in the 13th round, No. 404 overall. Burgess, a senior, was taken by the Phillies in the 26th round, No. 781 overall.
Coshow was 3-5 with a 4.56 ERA in 13 appearances for the Eagles this season. He threw a pair of complete games.
Burgess transferred from OU at the semester break after spending two seasons at Black Hawk (Ill.) Junior College. Burgess was 7-0 with nine saves and a 1.54 ERA in helping OC to a 26-26 record and an appearance in the National Christian College Athletic Association World Series.
Prior to Coshow's pick, the last Eagles player drafted was Nick Aiello in the 50th round in 2001.
Shortstop Chase Jensen was the first player picked from Oklahoma City University, going No. 658 overall in the 22nd round to the Padres.
The second Stars player taken, though, was even closer to the heart of OCU coach Denney Crabaugh.
That was Crabaugh's son, Cody, taken by Miami No. 952 overall in the 32nd round.
Jensen hit .332 with 51 RBIs, 11 home runs and 15 stolen bases for the Stars. He played for Houston in 2012 before transferring to OCU.
Crabaugh, a senior right-hander from Edmond North, went 13-2 with a 2.12 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings. He led the Sooner Athletic Conference in wins.
Three more Sooners — all left-handed pitchers — were drafted on Saturday's final day.
William Waltrip went No. 349 overall to the Rockies, Ethan Carnes went No. 644 to the Yankees and Jake Fisher went No. 664 to the Dodgers.
The Sooners had six players drafted overall, including Jonathan Gray, who was taken third overall Thursday night.
Oklahoma football signee Cody Thomas figured to be an early Friday selection as the draft approached.
But as questions about his signability were raised, Thomas fell down the draft boards.
The outfielder finally went to the Yankees with the 914th pick.
It seems likely the outfielder, who is already in Norman, will be a Sooner.
The quarterback plans on playing both football and baseball at OU.
Western Oklahoma State College had five players selected Saturday, behind only Oklahoma for the most from any one school in the state this season.
Catcher Sicnark Loopstok was the first off the board, going to the Indians No. 381 overall.
He was followed by outfielder Willie Allen (No. 496, Nationals), right-handed pitcher Alex Polanco (No. 704, Yankees), catcher Sherman Lacrus (No. 820, Rangers) and right-handed pitcher Edward Cruz (No. 1,012, Marlins).
Oklahoma State's Randy McCurry was picked No. 690 overall by the Diamondbacks. … Norman North had a pair of alums taken. Seminole State's Caleb Simpson went No. 642 to the Giants and Matt Southard, who played at Yavapai College in Arizona, was picked No. 841 overall by the Phillies. … Seminole also had Jorge Perez (887, Astros) and Ty Williams (1,046, Mets) selected. … Carl Albert alum Mark Meadors, who played at Cowley County, was taken No. 631 by the Phillies. … NEO's Travis Remillard was picked by the Padres with the 388th pick. Remillard, a Norman High grad, has signed with OU. … Jenks' Thomas Hatch (No. 949, Rockies) and Owasso's Andrew Rosa (983, Red Sox) were the only two high school players from the state drafted Saturday. … USAO's Blake McMullen (Enid) was taken No. 811 by the A's. … Tulsa Union grad Kevin Kuntz of Kansas was picked No. 834 by the Royals. … ORU's Nathan Goro was taken No. 817 by the Angels. … Tahlequah native Dusten Knight, who played at Texas-Pan American, was picked No. 852 by the Giants.

Best Wide-Fitting Running Shoes 2016
If you've got wide feet, bunions or really high arches you'll need wide fitting shoes. At Run and Become we've got lots of wide running shoes you can try.
It's always advisable to come into one of our stores to get a proper shoe fitting so we can make sure you end up with a suitable shoe for your foot strike and foot shape.
Meanwhile, here are some of the best wide-fitting options:
Best Wide-Fitting Neutral Road Running Shoes
If you've got a neutral foot-strike, you could try:
- New Balance 1080: New Balance's top or the range neutral shoe is lightweight and very shock absorbent. Built on an 8mm drop to promote a more natural, midfoot strike. The men's 1080 comes in a 2E and a 4E width - the 4E 1080 is the widest of all neutral shoes available, as far as we know. The women's comes in a D width.
- Brooks Ghost: This is a hugely popular well cushioned, stable, neutral shoe from Brooks which comes in 2E width for men and a D width for women.
- Brooks Dyad: A good solid neutral runner available in a 4E width.
Best Wide-Fitting Anti-Pronation Road Running Shoes
If your feet have a tendency to roll inwards when running or walking, give one of these a go:
- Brooks GTS: Decent medial support but still reasonably light and flexible. The men's comes in a 2E width and a 4E, the women's in a D and a 2E width.
- Brooks Ravenna: Light, responsive, fast and deliciously cushioned with effective midfoot support. Men's 2E and women's D widths.
- Asics GT-2000: Well cushioned with a lot of support in the arch area. The men's comes in a 2E width, the women's in a D width.
- New Balance 860: Flexible and supportive. The men's comes in 2E and 4E widths, the women's in a D width.
Best Wide-Fitting Motion-Control Road Running Shoes
If you require the maximum support a shoe can give, how about?
- Asics Foundation: Really strong support but still flexible and comfortable on the foot. The men's comes in a 2E width, the women's only in a standard width but it's wider than most.
- Brooks Addiction: Very stable. The women's comes in a D width.
So even the widest feet should find something to suit. Happy Running!

DavidJuly 19, 2013 at 8:17pmWhy the complete absence of any mention of Vivo Barefoot shoes which are easily the best wide fit comfy shoe I have come across Reply
Bhashini NeveJuly 22, 2013 at 8:54amHi David,
Thanks for your comment.
The simple answer is: Because we don't stock them. This was a post about the wide-fitting shoes we stock at Run and Become. We did stock Vivo Barefoot shoes when they first came out but didn't have much luck with them because our customers found the uppers weren't breathable enough for running and had a tendency to rub the feet. The range has changed since then and they're seem to be better in that respect now. I have a pair of the trail shoes myself which they gave me to try and I find them pretty comfortable, I have a very wide foot. We're thinking about taking them again next year.Hope this answers your question.
Best regards
Bhashini Reply
CKMAugust 9, 2013 at 3:59pmDo you intend to stock shoes from smaller American companies that are designed for wide feet/allow toes to spread naturally e.g. Altra, Lems, Topo Athletic? I am lucky enough to own a pair of Altra Instinct (a relation brought them over for me from the USA) and they are wonderful as they are the only shoes I own that do not taper at the end of the toe box. It would be great if you sold shoes from these companies. BTW - I think your shop in Victoria is the best running shop, full stop. Please keep up the great work! Reply
Bhashini NeveAugust 14, 2013 at 8:10amHi there,
Thanks for your comment.
I don't believe any of those companies distribute in the UK so we can't get hold of them.
The Brooks Pure Drift is wide and doesn't taper at the end. It's the shoe I run in myself.
Very glad to hear you like our Victoria shop Reply
Bhashini NeveDecember 6, 2013 at 12:37pmHi again,
Altra running shoes are now being distributed in the UK. We've just received the Lone Peak trail shoe. We'll be receiving the Instinct and Intuition road shoes in April. I'm running in a pair of the Intuition at the moment which I'm really enjoying - lovely wide toe box.
All the best

JorAugust 31, 2013 at 9:20pmHi! I'm developing a horribly painful bunionette / Tailyor's bunion and I need to buy a new pair of trainers. I'm not a runner but I love going for long walk which at the moment it's an excruciating painful ordeal. Any recs? Of the trainers you've already recommended, which one would you say it's best for walking?
Thanks in advance! Reply
Bhashini NeveSeptember 6, 2013 at 12:55pmHi Jor,
Without knowing what your footstrike's like it's hard to say. If you could make it into one of our branches we could give you natural gait analysis and recommend something for you.
Failing that I would guess one of the neutral shoes might be appropriate. They'll give you a lot of cushioning and enough width for your Tailor's bunions.
Good luck :)
All the best
Bhashini Reply
RuthOctober 17, 2013 at 1:23pmDoesn't anybody make 2E (or even E) width women's running shoes? Standard D fitting is not good for me. I've just started running and can't find anything proper to run in. It's a bit sad constantly paying P&P to order and return shoes, and not getting any shoes in the end. Sorry to moan Reply
Bhashini NeveOctober 18, 2013 at 1:54pmHi Ruth,
No, there's nothing available in the UK in an E or a 2E width fitting in women's running shoes that I'm aware of. What size are you? If you're bigger than a 6uk you could try the Brooks GTS in the men's. It's a support shoe.
The widest women's shoe we can get is the New Balance 940, it's a D width but wider than most other Ds. New Balance don't carry much stock of this one though so we don't always have a full size run.
Best of luck finding something,

BradOctober 24, 2013 at 8:07pmI've been hunting for trail runners that come in wide and I've found several New Balance models that have either EE or 4E widths available (most of their trail running line, actually). A few that jumped out as candidates are the MT1010v2 and the MT1210. I haven't tried any on yet, but at least I have multiple choices that are true wide shoes. Reply
Bhashini NeveOctober 25, 2013 at 1:20pmHi Brad,
None of New Balance's trail range are available in 2E or 4E in the UK, unfortunately.
If they were we'd definitely stock them.

AngelaMarch 2, 2014 at 6:38pmHi, I just had a bunion removed on one foot and the other foot isn't far behind, so needless to say, I need wide fitting shoes. I enjoy walking and want to become a runner, but I often get shin splints and can't bare it. I have an in roll when walking, and seem to have a hard hit as I'm stepping. Is there a shoe that can give me relief for shin splints and are wide enough for comfort? I have spent tons of money on shoes that don't help at all.
Thanks! Reply
Bhashini NeveMarch 3, 2014 at 11:08amHi Angela,
Are you able to make it into one of our stores so we can look at your foot strike and offer you a few pairs to try? If your feet are rolling in, you'll need one of the anti-pronation shoes shown above or possibly even a motion control shoe. Quite often it's this movement that leads to shin splints so if you have a shoe with enough support to keep the arch upright that should certainly help. They're all designed for long distance running so there'll be enough cushioning even for a heavy heel strike.
Best of luck,

Roz LeeMarch 9, 2014 at 9:37pmHello,
I am doing the Moonwalk this year in London. I have just bought a pair of running shoes but am finding them quite uncomfortable around the mid foot as I am quite wide here and my feet are being forced inwards by the narrowing of the sole, and feel quite achey. I have bought a pair of Brooks men's shoes (as widerD) 1101591D544 size 8.
I am rather despairing of ever finding some comfy shoes in time - the podiatrist said I needed anti-pronation shoes. Your website looks as if you come across this a lot but do you think you may have something wider in the mid foot (on the sides ) that may suits me? As it means coming to London I just wanted to make sure you might have some possibilities better than the Brooks shoe.
Thanks very much
Roz Lee Reply
Bhashini NeveMarch 10, 2014 at 10:34amHi Roz,
Yes, we do come across this a lot and I'm sure we could find something to suit you.
You had the standard width in the men's GTS. The 2E would be wider but Brooks have a production issue with this shoe at the moment and it's not available in 2E. Otherwise there are other anti-pronation shoes you could try which come up wider than that one in the midfoot. It's worth trying a few different makes, for example Saucony, Mizuno and New Balance.
Best of luck,

ChantelApril 11, 2014 at 6:59pmI was running with Asics which I love but so struggling with bunions. I bought the New Balance 1080 for women in January 2014 (this year), but am so disappointed! My problem with the bunions is solved but the shoe has very little support compared to the Asics. I have permanent pain on the ball of my one foot and both my arches. Reply
Shankara SmithApril 15, 2014 at 1:43pmHi Chantel,
It could be that the Asics you had previously, although not giving your forefoot enough room to be comfortable in, were more supportive and you're missing the support under the arch in the 1080. It's possible the problem could be solved with a pair of insoles but the best thing will be to come in with your shoes and we can check out exactly what's going on and see what the best solution is. The perfect balance between happy bunion area and happy arches will be there. We just need to find it!

steveAugust 14, 2014 at 8:56pmI thought I had struck lucky when I found this article as I have been on a long search for a wide (2E or 4E) support/stability, trail running shoe. I am happy with Brooks Adrenaline for the road and dry trails but I need something for the winter and Transarabia. I run long races and need the support but I also have very wide feet. Wide fitting/trail/support shoes seems to be the only category missing. Am I searching for the impossible. If I had to make a compromise I would probably have to go back to orthotics and stick with a wide fitting trail shoe. Any recommendations appreciated
Many thanks and great article
Steve Reply
Bhashini NeveSeptember 2, 2014 at 4:49pmHi Steve,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry to say, you are kind of searching for the impossible, at least from what's available in the UK. Brooks do the ASR which is the off road version of the Adrenaline but only in the standard D width fitting. The Mizuno Kazan is fairly broad but if you're usually in a 2E or 4E, I don't think it's going to be wide enough.
I think your best bet, as you say, would be a wide-fitting trail shoe with an orthotic. Between the Trailroc 245 and the Lone Peak, the Lone Peak might be a better bet as it's got a bit more cushioning for the long distances. Also it's a bit sturdier than the Trailroc so it might hold the orthotic better.
Hope this helps, best of luck with your running.
All the best,

CorinneOctober 6, 2014 at 3:14pmHi
I'm having a bit of a nightmare trying to find trainers for my freaky feet, so am hoping you may be able to give me some advice. Unfortunately I have bunions, which mean most shoes are too narrow for me. I compete in triathlons (up to half Ironman distance) and run both on and off road. My road shoes (Asics) have worn through where my bunions are and aren't especially comfy. My trail shoes, Inov8 Roclites are pretty comfy but are falling apart now (and still wear a bit where my bunions are). I've never had a gait analysis, but if anything the soles of my shoes tend to wear on the outside. I'm really not sure what to go for next. Any ideas please? Reply
Bhashini NeveOctober 6, 2014 at 3:48pmHi Corinne,
Thanks for your comment.
It's tricky to advise without having seen you run. Are you able to come into one of our branches for a natural gait analysis?
Do your shoes wear on the outside of the forefoot or just the outside of the heel? If they wear on the outside of the forefoot as well then you'd probably be best off with a neutral shoe, something like the Brooks Ghost. It's a road running shoe but the outsole would give you a bit of grip offroad as well. Which model was your Asics trainer? Do you get any pains in the knees, shins or achilles tendons? If you take the insole out of the Asics shoes, is the wear fairly even or is there more of an indentation on the inside of the forefoot?
The Ghost is a pretty stable shoe and if you're doing half ironmans I should imagine your legs are pretty strong so I would guess it would be OK for you. If you're at all able to get into one of our stores, we could take a proper look at you running and give you a few different options.
All the best,

JacquelineJune 3, 2015 at 3:27pmBrooks Dyad 8 is meant to be a very good shoe for supination/neutral walking/running.
This shoe is sold in the US for women in width D (wide) and 2E (extra wide) yet it is nearly impossible to find that width for ladies in the UK.
Are you likely to start stocking 2E width in ladies running shoes? In the light of the fact that the UK population is getting bigger it is inevitable that people's feet will become wider.
Your own site advises customers that it is much better to try shoes on instore to ensure a proper fit etc... but if you don't stock the widths required then it means customers have to order online and wait a long time for delivery and if the shoe doesn't fit properly it means sending them back and re-ordering.
Can you help your customers with wide feet? Reply
Shankara SmithJune 3, 2015 at 3:38pmHi Jacqueline,
Shoes come up differently and some styles are broader than others, we find it's only on rare occasions that we're unable to fit a customer's feet from the selection that we carry. Currently the D fitting of the New Balance 860 is probably the broadest women's shoe but even then it depends on the shape of the foot as to what will fit the best.
The brands are starting to create more options for wider feet in the UK, we are seeing broader options in more styles. This winter we will be able to order the Dyad in a wide fitting for men, and New Balance have increased the number of styles available in 4E. At present they're bringing in these wider options just in the men's range to begin with, it is likely this will extend to the women's too in time, as long as the brands find enough interest in the extra wide fits. Some broader fits - like the 2E Dyad for women are available in the US but not over here at present.
We will continue to stock as broad a selection of shoes in different fittings as we can and keep a look out for new options being introduced by brands into the UK. Reply
MelJune 3, 2015 at 3:29pmHi There,
I need to find a shoe that will accommodate my bunions is with a mesh or soft fabric upper and side but also but with minimal overlay / stitching or patterns at the bunion area as I have had tried trainers before and its rub, would the Brooks Ghost be good for me ?
Mel Reply
Bhashini NeveJune 3, 2015 at 3:41pmHi Mel,
It's tricky, most of the shoes have some kind of overlays but I think the Ghost would be a good bet: it's a mesh upper with minimal melted on overlays and they don't go right across the bunion area so hopefully they won't rub.
All the best,

JennyJuly 25, 2015 at 8:26amMy son is autistic, 24, bounces on the balls of his feet a lot, he wears brooks because recommended by a podiatrist as he rolls inwards on his heels, they have a deep heel fit and it works but within 3 months he split the sides of the trainers where it joins the sole, brooks replaced the trainers but its happened again so now I realise his feet must be too wide and the bouncing is straining the shoe. Reply
Bhashini NeveJuly 27, 2015 at 11:08am
Hi Jenny,Reply
That's tricky. Is it the Brooks GTS he has in the 2E width fitting? That one is available in a 4E width now which is even wider than the 2E. That might be a solution. I can see how lots of bouncing on the balls of the foot might strain the shoes more than ordinary running but if he has a bit more space in the shoe that might help.
Best of luck,
Sue EdgleySeptember 22, 2015 at 2:06pmHELP I need a D width but size 4 running shoes for running mostly on common land. Preferably in Gortex. What do I do as I see you start at 4.5! Reply
Bhashini NeveSeptember 23, 2015 at 11:43am
Hi Sue,Reply
We don't have the Gore-Tex version in a 4UK yet but we'll have it soon - probably at the beginning of next week. Although these are quite wide compared to other trail running shoes, you might still find them a bit neat because the Gore-Tex upper doesn't give that much. The road shoes in a D width will be wider but mesh uppers will let the wet in to a certain extent and if your common land gets really muddy, they won't give so much grip - they all come in a size 4 though.
Hope you find something to suit.
All the best,

I'm looking for a wide (4E) minimalist running shoe (something that provides no stability, control, or support and doesn't squeeze my foot). Any suggestions?
Bhashini NeveOctober 26, 2015 at 4:03pm
Hi John,
That's tricky. The minimal shoes we can get in the UK are all just available in a standard width fitting. The widest in our current range is probably the New Balance MR10 with a 4mm drop and no support or control but whether or not it's going to be wide enough to fit a 4E foot, I'm not sure.
We've also got some sizes in the Altra shoes which are zero drop and foot-shaped so they'll be wider than most, although we no longer stock them because they haven't sold very well for us.
Best of luck finding something that works.
MaryNovember 26, 2015 at 9:40pmHi, my Physio has just diagnosed Morton's Neuroma and so I'm looking for a wide fitting running shoe at a reasonable price.

If you need support, I'd suggest the New Balance W860 in D or the Brooks W GTS in D or 2E if you need a really wide one. No Black Friday deals but our sale starts Monday so keep checking in.

Hi Fiona,

From the shoes we have in stock, I'd say this is the widest but it's discontinued now so we don't have all sizes: Saucony Excursion TR 8
Second widest would be this one, lower profile than Cascadia but good grip: Inov-8 Roclite 280
Hope that helps,

I do enjoy running but @ the moment have a bunion & also have Mortons Neuroma. I have insoles for the Mortons but finding normal trainers very uncomfortable. I am no where near a store. Are your goods returnable if unworn obviously. Thanks. Reply
BhashiniJanuary 14, 2016 at 10:59amHi Marion,
Yes, you can return them if unworn within 28 days for an exchange or refund.
It might be worth trying one of the anti-pronation options if you've got bunions because quite often bunioned feet collapse inwards and need a bit of support. It's also worth bearing in mind that running shoes come up slightly smaller than ordinary shoes so you might need a half size bigger than you'd expect.
Hope you find something that works for you.
All the best,

Sounds like you'd be best looking at one of the anti-pronation options. Best to come in to one of our shops and try on a few different pairs if you can. Maybe the New Balance Women's 860 in the D width, or the Brooks Women's GTS in the D or 2E width depending on how wide your feet are.
All those options have plenty of cushioning and support to stop your feet rolling inwards.

I have found comfortable shoes but not trainers (strangely it useed to be vice versa). I have some New Balance shoes but having worn them for 6+ months, they're not the most comfortable. I used to have Mizuno Wave Rider 17s, which were comfortable.
I need a wide trainer which has a spacious and deep toe box (as much as can be for a trainer). I tend to usually go for 2e trainers, which are wide enough. I also need a soft trainer as I'm prone to hard skin, corns, etc.

Yes, the New Balance 2E is particularly wide. You'll probably find a Brooks or Asics 2E narrower.
Do you need a support or a neutral shoe? In general, I'd say Mizuno shoes in standard width come up quite broad, in case you wanted an alternative in a standard width shoe.

Shankara SmithMay 20, 2016 at 10:44am
Hi Mr McCaffrey,Reply
Quite often people who suffer from bunions have flatter feet that benefit from some support under the arch, in an effort to lessen the pressure going through the big toe joint. Without seeing your feet it's very hard to judge which shoes will best support you but I'd imagine the New Balance M860 4E would be in with a chance as it is wide, soft on the uppers, has no support banding going over the bunion area, and offers arch support.
If you're able to visit one of our stores we will be able to fit you out properly and ensure the shoes support you perfectly.
All the best

RUSH: "A growing body of psychology research shows that incompetence deprives people of the ability to recognize their own incompetence. To put it bluntly, dumb people are too dumb to know it." It's a blessing! You know, the worst thing would be to be dumb and to know it -- and there's evidence all over that the dumb do not know they're dumb. You can see it. You can see it. How do you know the dumb person doesn't know they're dumb? What's the first clue? What is the first clue that a dumb person doesn't know that he or she is dumb? What is it? Well, you know what it is!
The first clue that a dumb person doesn't know they're dumb is they open their mouth. The way they dress. The political party that they join. There's all kinds of evidence. "Similarly, unfunny people don't have a good enough sense of humor to tell" they're not funny. Have you ever been around somebody who thinks they're funny at hell and they're not? It's 'cause they're too dumb to know that they're too dumb. This is why banning the ugly, making it voluntary, never worked. The ugly are too dumb to know it, and it's a blessing.
RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites. Carol Costello, CNN, this morning on CNN's Newsroom reporting the story about Sandra Fluke and me and the brave congressional testimony. This woman who wants unlimited, no responsibility, no-consequences sex paid for by you and me, Carol Costello, CNN's stalker assigned to me. You'll also hear Suzanne Malveaux in this report.
COSTELLO: Rush Limbaugh blasted a young woman who called birth control a health care issue.
RUSH ARCHIVE: What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? Makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We're the pimps.
COSTELLO: See what I mean?
MALVEAUX: Wow.
COSTELLO: You're still reeling from the Rush Limbaugh thing, right.
MALVEAUX: Just -- just -- it's all very shocking, I imagine people have very strong opinions about it.
COSTELLO: Big difference, right, birth control, having sex.
RUSH: Yeah. Do you realize they don't get it? These are the liberal foot soldiers. These are not the leaders. These are the foot soldiers. They don't see 10% of what I see. It just doesn't compute at all. We just did a story, Snerdley, on how the stupid don't know they're stupid. Snerdley just asked me, "Can they really be this ignorant or dumb?" Yes, to answer your question. They heard every word I said and they are dumbfounded and they are reeling. Big difference, right, birth control, having sex? You don't need birth control if you're not having sex. The woman wants unlimited, no responsibility, no-consequences sex, and she wants it with contraceptives paid for by us. (interruption) Were these kinds of women around when I was in school?
Oh, oh, no, no, no. I didn't know any Flukes. No. Well, wait. I take it back. Yes. Every school had a couple of 'em. You know, for every 500 students, every school had a couple of these. Now they're everywhere. That's what you're getting at, right? And the two at your school, I mean even with birth control, you wouldn't go there. That's the big difference. I mean there were women that you might think you could get a disease, but you didn't care but -- (interruption) No, the two on average back then you wouldn't get, no. I see what you mean. They were there and they were well known. They were widely known, and so were the greasers that spent time with them. But you didn't find them in the A&W parking lot on Friday night, let's just put it that way.
The liberal world, and the State-Run Media, is packed to the rafters with persons of this type.
Does amorality deprive people of the ability to recognize their own immorality?
What's rich, is a guarantee every one of these people will hear Limbaugh called them dumb, and they won't be able to say anything back.
Depends on which set of test scores you want to believe and whether or not I am verbally beating you to death during an argument.
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein ~ Time Enough For Love
Got to hand it to Rush!
Maybe they take the pill for the flavor.
Guess I'd disagree with Mr Heinlein on this point. Ignorance (in the sense of honestly lacking information) is not a sin, but stupidity is, since stupidity is ignorance which, through laziness, arrogance, fatal lack of imagination, hatred or any other attitude which prevents one from removing his head from his rectum, is willingly maintained for purposes other than conforming to what is true. Ignorant people can be filled with information, as a starving man can be filled with food; stupid people are like starving people who either reject the food given them or, consuming it, head directly for the vomitorium. Stupid people may suspect they are stupid, or they may well not know it, but even if they suspect they are, they will never admit it, as this will mean the complete reorganization of firmly-held opinions or fantasies or hatreds that are the foundations for their stupidity.
And, unfortunately, in some professions (e.g., politics, acting, advertising) it can afford some success and a very nice living which can batten the barriers between their lives and reality, allowing them decades of damage. In fact, some professions provide stupidity with a broad, clear field to work in, and reward it handsomely, allowing the stupid to do years worth of damage to the real world before that supposedly inevitable verdict is issued by the universe.
Or maybe not.
Debating with one of them will tend to make one stupid too.
You start out thinking, "this will be easy" but find that to get through to them, you must step it down a notch and then another notch, then another and before you know it, you're as stupid as they are.
Been there.
Great post. A little slow, maybe ;)
2 minutes and 28 seconds?
Hey! I was at work!
Now just where is it I heard about jobs that Americans won't do??? Small wonder.
Back when I was a teenager, one of the excuses was "I take them in case I get raped."
I wonder if they still use that one.
It does raise some questions about our culture, or maybe more likely our present education system, in light of comparisons to other cultures; in particular East Asians, who seem to exhibit just the opposite characteristics. We may in fact be coddling our future day laborers, leading them to believe they could some day become, say, president. Curious.
Fluke is a member of DENSA(the opposite of MENSA)
To get in Densa you have to fill a bathtub full of water....then get in it.

Dear Abby:
Can a woman accept money for birth control from her date?
>> Big difference, right, birth control, having sex.<<
This COULD be true — I think my sister as well as a friend's daughter, took BC pills to control period issues. But not only is this not common, it isn't what they're talking about.
Cue the retroactive explanations of what they meant.

No "not" about it - you nailed it.
Funny you mention that. A couple of years ago Obama participated in some "first-shovelful" groundbreaking ceremony for a construction project somewhere -- women's center, vo-tech ed building, whatever. He had taken off his suit and donned overalls and workboots -- the round-toed kind you see everywhere, with or without steel-toe caps, and was standing there shovelful in hand, looking to his right. You know, he never looked so natural in his life -- like he belonged down in that pit, in overalls and steeltoes, shovel in hand. "The Real Obama Stands Up for Women's (whatever)."
Respectfully disagree with both of you.
Ignorance is a negative, it's the lack of knowledge, which approaches infinity in nearly all human subjects.
Stupidity is the straightforward lack of ability to think and reason and mentate. It is the thing that horses and dogs have, which flatworms lack from natural incapacity.
In people, well, it's grounds for institutionalization or eleemosynary care by significant others.
There is something about this post that kinda has a ring or a tone to it...
I have to study it some more and make sure my knee-jerk reaction to it is genuine and meaningful...
I like the statement...It flows like one of the great quotes of our time...
I could be wrong...It wold make a good "tagline" as well for a person online profile...We'll see...
Overall, I think Forrest Gump said it best, "Stupid is as stupid does..."
Jug ears in overalls??? Heh, sorry I missed that. No doubt a designer brand for the pretentious, puffed up punk.
No arguments here--given that we are finite creatures living in a universe that is, if not infinite, certainly transfinite (that is, finite but, like, real, real big!)the amount of what we not only don't but can't know is close enough to infinite as makes no practical difference!
Stupidity is the straightforward lack of ability to think and reason and mentate. It is the thing that horses and dogs have, which flatworms lack from natural incapacity.
The second sentence here is a little unclear to me; is the thing which horses and dogs have stupidity or the ability to reason and think and mentate? I have encountered horses and dogs that have at least a fundamental ability to solve problems, which suggests some element of reasoning in their mental make-up. If they have it but don't bother to use the abilities they have, this would make them, in my view, stupid. Flatworms, lacking these abilities, could not be called stupid any more than a snail could be blamed for not being able to gallop or hunt. Boethius (author of The Consolation of Philosophy, a rather short but very smart little book written in the sixth century AD) says that the signature quality of humans that makes us human (since nearly every physical ability we have is equaled or surpassed by other animals) is the ability to reason and make moral choices, and that we are human only insofar as we use this ability. Humans can be stupid in a way that other animals cannot be, and certainly cannot be blamed for being.
In people, well, it's grounds for institutionalization or eleemosynary care by significant others.
Agreed, particularly if there is a constitutional inability to think or behave in human ways such as Boethius outlines. But when a person has the ability but steadfastly or lazily refuses to use it because there is something he wants more than the truth, or just cannot be bothered to make the effort, then it is (as I see it) a sin, a morally blameworthy act. And if it is blameworthy, it is correctable by the person himself,

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

(Many candy) apples and (a couple of sour) oranges: The 45th edition of the New York Film Festival, running September 28-October 16, is underway. Comparing movies is a drag, especially in a noncompetitive event, but the choices in this famously selective fest (28 "official" features on top of the sidebars) vary in merit. Here's the skinny on 13 of the 14 full-length narratives (I missed French vet Eric Rohmer's "The Romance of Astree and Celadon") and the one doc showing during the first nine days; a follow-up on the second half appears next Friday.
Most of the foreign entries, and a few of the American ones, center on protagonists in existential turmoil, or at least in the midst of political crises. This depth makes it all the more disappointing that the NYFF tapped Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited" as the opener - despite my realization that sponsors and dilettantes like high-profile stars for the inauguration. Three white brothers (Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman) travel, mostly by train, through India, the culture of which is almost entirely a foil for their inane comments and actions. This failed $60 million juvenile effort at Marx Brothers and Three Stooges antics makes the Hope and Crosby road movies look like they were scripted by Margaret Mead. Really now, aren't we imposing our ways on the rest of the world enough these days? An excellent craftsman, the ethnocentric Anderson now plays to the lowest common denominator.
Far weightier is another American selection, "The Axe in the Attic", in which docmakers Ed Pincus and Lucia Small interview displaced Katrina survivors. Formally, it is nothing (wrong festival?), and the directors' insistence on calling attention to their "process" is annoying. Yet the testimony accumulates in effect. Pincus and Small's solid overview of government apathy, hostility, and bureaucracy as it has affected each of their subjects personally lifts these mostly black and poor victims right off the bland pages of the daily paper and the monitors airing the "he said/she said" banter of CNN.
On the flip side of documentary naturalism are exercises in style, such as Ira Sachs's "Married Life", a color neo-noir about two male friends (Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan) and the femme fatale (Rachel McAdams) that comes between them. The target audience seems to be adult, as it was for film noir, which was created in a postwar U.S. when grown-ups went to the movies. Unfortunately, though well executed, the film is an onanistic effort that adds nothing to the genre, itself so inherently over-the-top that it nearly defies replication or redefinition.
(For a profound reexamination of cinematic style, see Spanish director Jose Luis Guerin's beautiful French-language "In the City of Sylvia" - a major discovery. Guerin toys with shooting and editing strategies that underlie the look and sound of a film. A young man returns to Strasbourg in pursuit of an obsession: to find a girl he met in a bar six years before. He follows one suspect for a long time, stares at others. Guerin's unusually framed shots look more like real life than those in most films; he films faces at odd angles, against unconventional backdrops, for example. There is almost no dialog save for an exchange with the pursued for five minutes on a train. The sound that does exist--passersby talking, their heels striking the pavement--is modulated according to location: You feel like you are there.)
Faring better than "Married Life" is Abel Ferrara's "Go Go Tales", another study in gloss, yet of the sleazy, macho brand which the director owns. Set almost entirely in the artifice of Ray Ruby's "Paradise Lounge", a seedy New York joint in which young women sell lap dances to suits (it was filmed in Rome), it is the money-losing site of tension between Willem Dafoe's manager, Matthew Modine's backer, and the unpaid "talent." The look harks back to Ferrara's 1993 Madonna-starrer "Dangerous Game", the subject matter to his first feature, the 1976 hardcore porn flick "Nine Lives of a Wet Pussy" (in which the director stars). Just when you think that the story will not rise above gutter level, the ex-Catholic filmmaker pulls out his redemption card. Dafoe organizes an after-hours cabaret so that the dancers can perform for potentially helpful spectators their true passions, be they ballet or mime - and for that he is rewarded in a serendipitous moment. This is secular salvation.
More grounded, and falling into the existential hero camp that takes them beyond the limited Americavision of most of their colleagues, are Todd Haynes's brilliant Dylan collage, "I'm Not There", and the Coen Brothers' uneven but provocative "No Country for Old Men", based on the Cormac McCarthy novel. True, Dylan's crisis is in large part a function of being a celebrity, but the difficulty he had over the decades with being pigeonholed in spite of his constant evolution has been a huge burden on such a gifted and prescient public figure. Six actors plays different Dylan personas, all keyed to distinct film genres, particular periods in his musical development, and the appropriate songs - with Dylan's own recordings on the soundtrack. Words can not do justice to the brilliance of the editing, the intensity of the compositions, and the fertile imagination on view throughout, both Dylan's and Haynes's. Cate Blanchett in drag may be winning the accolades, but the one who wows is Christian Bale as Dylan the folk singer and Dylan the Pentecostal preacher.
In "No Country for Old Men" (Centerpiece), Josh Brolin's cowboy, who lives in a trailer in rural Texas near the Mexican border, is an anachronism, a point made clear when the massacre he stumbles upon involves not stolen cattle but a drug smuggling operation gone haywire and a vindictive, automaton-like id figure (Javier Bardem) more Frankenstein's monster than Old West villain. A non-introspective man in moral crisis, Brolin is caught between greed and nearly forgotten codes of right and wrong, whereas Tommy Lee Jones's sheriff upholds them to little avail. Roger Deakins's shots of wide open West Texas landscapes are exceptional. Too bad that the Coens let their occasionally hilarious movie (in part a Texan Fargo) fall into a lengthy, tiresome cat-and-mouse-and-mouse game (Jones following Bardem stalking Brolin).
In the festival's foreign films, directors adopt a more mature stance toward man's relationship with society and the universe. Okay, Julian Schnabel is American - SO American - but his mind-blowing French production "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is gallic in language, setting, and feel. After all, it is an adaptation of former French Elle editor and bon vivant Jean-Dominique Bauby's 1997 autobiographical book that was "written" by transmitting his words via the blink of his one usable eye after he was felled by the immobilizing disease known as locked-in syndrome. (Thankfully, Johnny Depp dropped out as Bauby and France's finest actor, Mathieu Amalric, stepped in.)
Schnabel tracks Bauby's journey from suicidal despair to embracing life, from isolation to the recognition and acceptance of love emanating from those who help him self-actualize under circumstances we can hardly fathom. At the same time, the director creates outstanding visuals illustrating a parallel world experienced by a man who can not move. Although Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona's psychological horror movie "The Orphanage" is an overrated gothic, its central character, played by the marvelous Belen Rueda, transforms herself from grieving mother to the orphanage-raised child she once was in order to connect with cosmic realms beyond her grasp.
Minimalist Hungarian director Bela Tarr goes generic in "The Man From London", adapted from Georges Simenon's policier about a seaside watchman who, like Brolin, inadvertently comes across a bundle of stolen money after witnessing a murder. In order to keep it, he commits one himself, wrestling with his conscience and his god, if you will, about the moral implications of his action. He is a lost soul in an environment that is both aesthetically and emotionally noirish. In Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong's "Secret Sunshine", Lee Shin-ae is a young widow whose son is kidnapped and murdered. The movie is overlong and half-baked, but Lee is terrific as a lost soul grabbing onto straws, whether it be a lover or evangelicalism, to keep facing life.
The most cosmic of the existential narratives is Mexican director Carlos Reygadas's sublime "Silent Light", about a Mennonite father and husband who commits adultery- a cardinal sin in that austere, hermetic religious community. Reygadas shot the film in 'scope, and his non-professional actors, all Mennonites, pose against the vast openness of Chihuahua. As telegraphed by the opening segment, an incredible tracking shot from the star-filled heavens down to the ground and right into the man's kitchen, the story captures the confused hero's struggle between his earthly desires and his spiritual needs. It also sets the stage for a Dreyerian miracle late in the movie that flaunts the realism inherent in the camera lens and convinces us of its possibility.
More socio-political than existential are two of the best films, which, like a majority of those discussed here, were first presented at Cannes. Christian Mungiu's impressive "4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days", from Romania, is spare, with long takes and much of the dramatic events taking place off-screen. During Ceaucescu's dictatorship, when abortion was illegal, a dorm resident (the talented Anamaria Marinca) takes her pregnant pal for an illegal abortion in a shabby hotel. (All of the settings are depressing: This is Romania in 1987.) The plot is uncomplicated: The abortionist insists on sex for payment, the friend has a tiff with her boyfriend while the other one expels the fetus all alone. The beauty is in the technique, although I don't understand why Mungiu goes against his otherwise consistent m.o. and shoots a baby-like fetus. It almost turns the film into a pro-life tract.
The other: Russian master Alexander Sokurov's "Alexandra", arguably the greatest of all. Opera diva Galina Vishnevskaya plays the eponymous elderly Russian babushka who shleps to a makeshift military compound in occupied Chechnya to visit her grandson. Difficult to please, horrified by her own nation's capacity for violence, and completely fearless, she wanders into the nearby Chechen town, much to the chagrin of the soldiers, befriends a local woman, visits her apartment, and shares universal stories over a cup of tea. In a soon-to-be-classic, three-handkerchief sequence of humanist cinema, the Chechen woman's friends see Alexandra off at the train station.
"Alexandra" was shot in Chechnya; the train its heroine travels on is decrepit, the real McCoy - light years away from the one constructed for Wes Anderson so that the guys could horse around in a controlled environment. Variety may be the spice of life, but the chasm here is way too deep. Consolation is in knowing that the apple will survive the test of time, the orange sink into (profit-making) oblivion.

Since I am new to the area and even the country I was wondering where to buy maternity clothes and all of the things we will need for the nursery and the baby. I know that is like asking "where can I buy food" but we really don't know where to look and the internet has too many things!
It would be really nice to know where you bought your clothes and baby gear or where you plan on buying it!

It is NO punishable incest if you do not fuck sister´s pussy here in Austria at least, a very fine help during pubescence, reduces the chance to get a STD considerably

My sister started playing with each other back in our teens when we would sneak down the hall and listen to our parents fucking. When they would finish we would go back either her room or mine. We started off masturbating ourselves in front of each other then each other. Then we began oral and later moved to fucking. We still fuck each other to this day, although not nearly as frequent as we once did. Our sexual relationship is perfect because we both knows exactly what the other needs and when they need it.

I did all with my sister when we both had been under 18 with the exception of vaginal sex. The latter can be punished here. Other techniques are free (Austria, Germany) done even if brother and sister. It has been very pleasant, helped to avoid sick solo sex and made us mature for marital delights.

Lifeguard rescued stranded dog from beach in Sunderland
A lifeguard rescued a stranded dog from 'Cats and Dogs' beach in Sunderland yesterday.
Gertie the Jack Russell had chased some birds into the sea, but then got stuck on a rock.
RNLI lifeguard Joe Wilson spotted Gertie after he heard her owners shouting. He waded out to the rock she was stuck on - where she was up to her chest in water and too scared to swim.
Joe then carried Gertie back to shore and her grateful owners.
He said: "She was stressed and shaking when I reached her but seemed very happy to see me. Our charity's lifeguards assist with animal rescues to prevent owners from putting themselves in danger. We were very happy to get Gertie's paws back on dry land and offered her owners some friendly safety advice about tide times."

Lifeboat crews and a helicopter from RAF Boulmer have been involved in a massive sea search through the night. It began after an empty fishing dinghy was found 15 miles off the coast at Blyth. The coastguard was concerned their could be missing occupants. No further searches will take place.
