Identity theft can happen to anyone
Carolyn Van Dorn
write the author
December 19, 2013
Q. My mom has recently moved into a nursing care facility and I have power of attorney over her finances. Do I still need to be concerned about identity theft for her?
A. Absolutely. Identity theft is rampant in today's society and has no age boundaries. In February, the Federal Trade Commission released the 2012 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book. Its statistics showed the occurrence rate in the under-20 group, which includes infants and children, was almost equal to the rate of occurrence in the 70 and older group.
Some consider the senior population to be easy targets due to the fact they are normally financially stable and less likely to be opening new lines of credit. Most seniors also do not routinely check the status of their credit report, which allows for a lower probability of fraud detection.
According to the FTC, a child's Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank accounts and apply for a loan or utility service.
Most credit reporting agencies have protocol in place to allow a parent or guardian the ability to check if a child's information has been misused.
You can also request an annual Social Security earnings record which could alert you someone has used the information to illegally obtain a job.
There are options available for you to protect yourself and your family. You can learn how to monitor your history on your own or register with a credit monitoring service. If you choose to use a service, take the time to do a little research to verify it is a reputable company.
A recent victim of identity theft myself, I realized how labor intensive it is to clear up a credit record. I found out I was a victim by accident. My auto insurance sent a renewal statement which showed my credit rating had dropped due to "items in collection."
Researching it, I found out my Social Security number had been used to open up several utility accounts.
Bills and collection notices were sent to the service addresses so I never received them directly. Thankfully, I am computer literate and was able to find publications and guides through the Federal Trade Commission which helped me through the process.
The FTC has free materials you can order direct to help you protect yourself as well as clear up an issue. You can find the materials at ftc.gov. I have also ordered several of them in bulk quantities, available at my office. Visit the News and Articles tab atnursingun

July 14, 2014 | The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), China's gene sequencing powerhouse, has released a set of reference genes for the human gut microbiome, in a catalogue that is substantially larger and covers a greater diversity of human populations than any previous resources. The work is described in a recent Nature Biotechnology paper, "An integrated catalog of reference genes in the human gut microbiome," by senior author Jun Wang of BGI-Shenzhen, while the reference itself is freely available at meta.genomics.cn.
A reference set of genes that have been found in organisms living in the human gut is an essential resource for profiling the species present in a person's microbiota, and can also help to estimate their abundance and phylogenetic relationships, or to identify species that are correlated with aspects of human health. However, as the authors note, "there has been no comprehensive and uniformly processed database that can represent the human gut microbiota around the world." The two largest previous reference catalogues, from the MetaHIT project and the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), have contained imperfectly sequenced and redundant genes, and have only sequenced samples taken from individuals from Europe and the U.S., respectively. The BGI team combined sequencing data from both of those projects with hundreds of Chinese samples from a study of diabetes, plus 249 newly-sequenced samples from Europe. In order to adequately cover the genomes of organisms that occur commonly in the human gut, but at such low abundance that few reads can be recovered from them, the team also integrated reference genomes of bacteria and archaea from the NCBI and EMBL databases for any species that were 90% covered by the combined samples used in this project.
The resulting catalogue, the Integrated Gene Catalogue (IGC), contains nearly 10 million unique genes — a greater than 70% increase over either the MetaHIT or HMP resources. Because of a stricter quality control pipeline, the IGC also eliminates large proportions of short or fragmented genes from the prior databases. When using the IGC to assemble metagenomes from both the sample sets used in the creation of the IGC, and three independent sample sets, in all cases between 74 and 81% of sequencing data could be mapped to the IGC. The authors suggest that this is "close to the maximum achievable mapping rates," given the estimate that prokaryotic genomes have on average 87% gene content.
The impressive breadth of the IGC allows for some interesting observations. Individual samples used in the project contained roughly 760,000 genes on average, and any two samples would share roughly one third of those genes in common. Each sample contributed an average of 469 genes found in no other sample. As in other microbiome references, the species identity of most genes remains a mystery; only around 16% could be confidently assigned to a genus. While nearly all species found in a large proportion of samples were already known to be part of the human microbiota from previous studies, the wine-fermenting genus Oenococcus, found in 13.5% of samples in the IGC, had never previously been shown to live in the human gut.
Based on their experience creating the IGC, the BGI team offer a number of suggestions for future investigation of the human gut microbiome. They speculate that "we may have reached saturated coverage of core gene content and functions, but rare genes will continue to be discovered," adding that most of the new genes included in the IGC were found in only a small minority of individuals. They also propose that, while deeper sequencing of individuals is a tempting way to get better read depth of low-abundance species, it may in fact be more cost-effective to simply sequence more samples at current read depths. In the case of the low-abundance genus Enterococcus, the IGC was able to improve coverage by over 70% thanks to a handful of samples where the genus was found in unexpectedly high abundance, a finding that may be repeated with other organisms.
Discovering more of these rare genes, the authors suggest, may shed a great deal of light on important functional differences between humans' commensal organisms. While the genes of known function that are found at high frequency in the IGC tend to cover basic processes like metabolism and signal transduction, those found in fewer than 1% of individuals tend to be involved in adaptive processes, like DNA repair, antibiotic resistance, and responses to phages and the human immune system. Covering more human populations is also likely to yield new functional insights: in a comparison of Danish to Chinese samples, using the IGC as a map, genes highly divergent between the two groups tended to be involved in the metabolism of specific carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins, strongly suggesting a relationship with human diet.
"Similar to the field of human genetics, where the search for new alleles has progressed from common to rare," the authors conclude, "our data indicate that cataloging of our 'other genome,' the human gut microbiome, is also entering the stage for identification of rare or individual-specific genes."
With the IGC made available to all researchers around the world online, it is likely that in the coming months new studies will appear using the IGC as a reference map, helping to show whether outside groups find the new catalogue a useful and reliable tool for studying the human microbiome.

Gas stations and hotels in NJ facing fines for price gouging
Published: 6:09 PM EDT Oct 31, 2013 Updated: 7:26 PM EDT Oct 31, 2013
Nine more New Jersey businesses will pay up for price-gouging customers after Super Storm Sandy last year.
The state attorney general says the hotels and gas stations have agreed to pay fines after illegally raising prices in the wake of the disaster.
A hotel in Phillipsburg is among them-- "America's Best Value Inn" on Route 22.
The state attorney general filed price-gouging lawsuits against 27 companies after Sandy struck.
Eighteen of those lawsuits have now been resolved.

It's no one's dream to be a single parent, but since half of all marriages do end in divorce and at least as many unmarried couples break up, single parenting is reality for many mothers. Separating or divorcing while pregnant or with a baby or young toddler can be stressful and difficult. Arranging visitation is easiest if you remain flexible and patient.
Two is Better Than One
Unless the other parent is abusive or dangerous, it's usually best for a child spend time with two parents. Develop an ongoing parenting partnership with the other parent. Even though you are no longer a couple, you will be parents together for the rest of your lives. Put aside your personal problems and work together as a parenting team.
Sharing and Preparing
If you are separated or divorced during pregnancy, you can begin to create a two parent life for your child before birth. Include the other parent in childbirth classes and the birth (even if you choose someone else as your primary childbirth support partner). Share information about your health, the baby and your due date.
Discuss how to share time with your child after the birth. Think about your schedules, driving distance between your homes and the needs and routine your child is going to have in the first few months. Remember that no schedule should be set in stone. It is essential that both of you remain flexible.
Make sure the other parent has the necessary baby equipment and supplies. Some separated parents-to-be attend infant care classes together or separately.
Baby Equipment Alternatives for a Visiting Parent
It is usually not practical to transport needed baby equipment with your child, but the parent who has visitation can still be equipped without purchasing an entire duplicate set.
- Instead of a full size crib...he/she should have a folding travel crib
- Instead of a high chair...he/she should have a booster seat with tray
- Instead of a changing table...he/she should have a folding changing pad
- Instead of a baby bathtub...he/she should have a foam kitchen sink liner
- Instead of a jumbo pack of diapers...he/she should have a small pack of diapers
- Instead of a toddler bed...he/she should have a bed rail
- Instead of a deluxe stroller...he/she should have a lightweight folding stroller
- Instead of a complete layette/wardrobe...he/she should have a a few items of size appropriate clothing to keep at home
Items to Transport With Your Baby on Visitation
- Car seat (unless each parent has one)
- Pacifier
- Special blanket
- Special toy
- Diaper bag with a few diapers and wipes for use in transport
- Breastmilk if nursing
- One or two bottles for use during transport
- Sweater or cover up
- A change of clothes
- Any necessary medication
Dealing With Legalities
Going to court is a necessary step in organizing your child's life. You need an order spelling out custody and visitation. Get a referral to an attorney from your local or state bar association. You may also use a mediator, who can help you and the other parent create an agreement yourselves (contact the Academy of Family Mediators at (202) 667-9700 or www.acresolution.org).
If you do not create your own agreement, the court will create a visitation schedule for you. It is important to remember that you and the other parent can alter this schedule (as long as you both agree to any changes) as your child grows and as your lives change.
Getting the legalities taken care of will offer you peace of mind. "I'd recommend making sure you have all of your legal ducks in a row and also have a good support system to help you through it all," says Marie Lafferty of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whose son began visitation at birth.
Baby Steps
When creating a visitation schedule for your infant, start in small increments. Begin with an hour of visitation at your home every day or every other day. Gradually increase this to two or three hours a few times a week at the other parent's home. Most new mothers feel most comfortable if visitation takes place while they are present, but the other parent has to be given the freedom to develop parenting skills and a bond with the baby.
While most experts recommend against overnight or extended visits until a child is three years old, it is important to remember that everyone's situation is different. If an overnight visit once a week works for you and the other parent, your child will not be harmed by it. If you want or need to set up extended visitation, gradually work up to it by slowly increasing the length of visits.
Jennifer Hartnell of Houston, Texas who dealt with visitation with her baby says, "You don't have to adhere strictly to the parenting advice such as no overnight visits until the child is three years old. Do what works best considering your situation and your individual child."
Breastfeeding and Visitation
It is possible to breastfeed successfully even if your child spends extended time with the other parent. Start pumping milk as soon as possible and build up a supply. Make sure the other parent understands the benefits of breastfeeding and how to transport, thaw and feed expressed milk to your child.
Meet with a lactation consultant to plan for breastfeeding and visitation and to help you work out problems as they come up. Suggest that the other parent speak with your pediatrician or lactation consultant to fully understand the benefits of breastfeeding and how to handle expressed milk.
The Schedule
The schedule that should be most important is your child's schedule, not the visitation schedule. One week your baby may be feeding on demand every two hours, making an extended visit difficult, another week your infant may have an ear infection and scream all night and sleep all day. Assess your child's needs and try to work around them. Make substitutions without reducing visitation time.
Donna Mecham of Sierra Vista, Arizona began dealing with visitation when her son was six months old. She suggests parents may have to recognize "what works for your schedule won't work with the other parent." She also advocates that parents try "to disrupt the child as little as possible."
Toddler Time
Young toddlers are very schedule oriented, so it is important to keep the schedule stable. If your child naps from 1 pm to 3 pm each day, make sure that you can work visitation around this. Toddlers often can handle longer visitations that are spaced farther apart. For example, you may wish to schedule visits twice a week for three hours.
Separation Anxiety
Both moms and babies experience separation anxiety! Of course you are going to be nervous and worried when you are apart from your child. There will certainly be times when your child has trouble making transitions between parents. All of this is completely normal.
Developing a relationship with both parents is essential to your child's emotional well-being. Encouraging a relationship with the other parent is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. Put your own feelings about and history with the other parent aside and focus on your child.
Parenting an infant and coping with visitation are two very stressful situations that are even more stressful when paired together. Being a single parent is not going to be easy and neither will working with the other parent to make sure your child has contact with him or her.
There are steps you can take that will make the situation easier for you. When Mecham's son began going on visitation she was nervous. "I made sure I knew where my ex was going to be, taking my son and picking him up. I also made sure that a friend went with me." She points out "If the parents work together and both try to make the visitation less of a challenge for the other then it will go smoother."
Lafferty says her worries were "about the baby's safety and my own." Women who are concerned about their own safety need to obtain legal assistance or go to a domestic violence shelter. If you feel your child is in danger or has been harmed, contact your state child abuse hotline and hire an attorney immediately (or pursue help from a legal aid agency).
Hartnell got past her worries about visitation "...by telling myself that it was important for him to have a relationship with his father and the benefits of that outweighed the possible problems."
She points out that to get through the difficult periods when her son would cry or be upset she and her ex "had to work together...Be prepared compromise on the things that don't really matter."
When your child is new to the world it is hard to think about giving up time with him or her. Visitation is about giving your child the benefits of having two parents. Working together to do this will offer your child incredible benefits.

Movement within Agile Working Companies are moving towards Agile Working environments increasingly, every year. Banks of desks, separated by departments, are becoming hot desks. Pedestals are disappearing and not even so much as a pair…
Our products have evolved through extensive research and a deep understanding of the needs of the individual within a shared workspace. By focusing on the individual user we can identify specific needs in specific sectors to offer products with the level of personalisation required.
Now HOTBOX Storage launch HB-two the bright, light and personal, portable storage unit for the agile worker. HB-two offers the most effective portable storage unit designed to let you personalise a shared work environment with your own personal style.
Following the success of HB-One, product designer Jamie Rothwell wanted to introduce a less corporate storage unit, he found that 'it was apparent from our research that the competitive products that followed HB-one did not embrace the need for storage with easily accessible compartments, or the increasing desire for workers in shared areas to have a personal workspace identity.' At the same time as Jamie was conducting his research, interior designer Rachel Forster had been approached by a client to look at the whole concept of creating individualised units to cope with day-to-day desk clutter, laptops, tablets and files.
Learning of HOTBOX Storage's pioneering work in the sector, Rachel met Jamie and they combined their skills to develop the first truly individual, personalised portable storage unit.
It has taken a year of research and development, testing concepts with the staff of major international corporations, to fine-tune the design.
HB-one Where it all started, HB-one is the original lockable portable file storage system. Hang it on a tool bar or from a desk clamp, or clip it onto the Caddy to take it with you when you are on the move.
HB-two Bright, light and personal, HB-two is the flexible portable storage system for all your work. Choose the interior storage to suit your needs and finish off with a fabric cover of your choice. Carry your laptop, tablet, files and pens in style and individualise your space.
A minimum order quantity will apply for non-standard Blazer and Nexus fabrics.
Generate your ideal HB-two and we will respond with a quote and a lead time.
Whether you want the simplicity of the HB-two without a cover, or decide to make a truly personal statement by choosing your fabric and interior options, just click here and complete the form and we will do all the rest.

MARTINSBURG - Recently obtained court records have shed more light on alleged abuse that a 3-year-old boy suffered at the hands of his father, who was arraigned with his girlfriend Tuesday on new charges in connection with the toddler's death on Saturday.
Records show that Kaiwon Connelly's father, James N. Mauldin, 20, allegedly forced the victim to squat over a hot pan as punishment. Mauldin also allegedly punched the victim several times in the head a few days before his death, and Connelly had injuries that included a skull fracture and bleeding of the brain.
Mauldin, who is now being held at Eastern Regional Jail on a $250,000 cash-only bond, was arraigned Tuesday on a new warrant charging him with felony child abuse resulting in death. He was initially arrested Saturday on charges of child abuse, child neglect and presentation of false information regarding child injuries.

The victim was flown to Children's National Medical Center Saturday night and died a day later, resulting in the new charge.
Mauldin's girlfriend, 22-year-old Jasmine K. Dawkins, of Clinton, Md., is accused of failing to report the abuse. She was arraigned on a new felony warrant Tuesday charging her with allowing child abuse that resulted in the death of a child. She was initially arrested Saturday on charges of child neglect and presentation of false information regarding child injuries. Dawkins also is being held on a $250,000 cash-only bond at Eastern Regional Jail.
The case was investigated by West Virginia State Trooper Z.S. Conner.
At about 6:06 p.m. Saturday, Conner responded to a call requesting assistance for emergency medical services personnel at an apartment at 214 Joshua Drive in Martinsburg. Conner learned the call involved the cardiac arrest of a 3-year-old boy, later identified as Connelly. When Conner arrived the scene, medics told him about head trauma and scars discovered all over the victim's body - possible signs of child abuse, records show.
At 6:23 p.m., Conner obtained a recorded statement from Mauldin, who told the officer that the child was in his bedroom and collapsed. Mauldin said he called 911 after learning the child was not breathing.
Conner went to City Hospital, where he was told about burn marks that were found on the child's body. Conner was told by medical personnel that it appeared the burn marks were recent. It was there that Conner learned of Connelly's severe head trauma, records show.
Conner took a second statement from Mauldin at City Hospital. In the written statement, Mauldin said he knew of the burn marks on his son's body. He also told police that the child had been staying at the apartment on Joshua Drive for a few days after Thanksgiving and admitted that he had known of the burn marks since that time.
Later that evening, at about 11:05 p.m., Conner took a recorded statement from Dawkins about the events of that day. The woman claimed that about 1 p.m. Saturday she was in the bathroom with her 3-month-old child, as well as the victim. Dawkins stated that the victim was standing on the toilet and said Connelly fell on his side, hitting his head hard on the floor. She told police she noticed blood on the inside of the child's ear a few hours after the child fell from the toilet, records show.
Dawkins, however, later admitted to Conner that Mauldin had abused the child a few days prior to the incident and that he used a form of discipline called "squats," records show.
"Trooper Conner was further advised that Mr. Mauldin would get angry to the point he would heat a pan on the stove and then place it on the floor underneath Kaiwon," records state.
Dawkins told police the burn marks on the child's body came from the hot pan. She also told Conner a few days prior to the child's death, Mauldin punched the victim several times in the head.
"Ms. Dawkins advised Trooper Conner she did not report the abuse or the child being burned by the hot pan. Dawkins advised Trooper Conner that Kaiwon began to fall a lot since the time Mr. Mauldin punched him in the head. Ms. Dawkins stated that she believed the above stated incident may have occurred (as) the result of the punches to the head of Kaiwon," records state.
At about 12:13 p.m. Sunday, a Children's National Medical Center nurse told Conner that Connelly passed away due to his injuries an hour and a half earlier.
If convicted of the new charges, both Mauldin and Dawkins face 10 to 40 years in prison.

You can get this chat masala at any Indian Grocery store, if you have one, or the alternative is to mix all hot spices like black pepper, cloves, bay leafs and others into a powdered form!!

Hi Divya,
You can roast the papad well in advance (a day or two). Make the topping a few hours earlier but don't add any salt until you are ready to serve.

Here we will explain the method of searching for information on the Toyota Industries Corporation website.
|Restrict Type
|Query Syntax
|To a given location on the website
|allinurl:, allintitle:, inurl:, intitle:
See "Advanced Operators" for details
|To specific domains
|site : www.toyota-shokki.co.jp
See "Advanced Operators" for details
|To specific file types (Excel spread sheets, PDF, DOC, etc.)
Directory Restricting
To restrict the directories searched, enter a URL that drills down through the directory structure to the directories or files to be searched. For example, the query [www.toyota-shokki.co.jp/ir/] restricts the search to everything at the "ir" level. If the trailing slash is not included, as in [www.toyota-shokki.co.jp/ir], then all subdirectories are also searched.
The search engine supports several advanced operators, which are query words with special functions. A list of the advanced operators, along with their explanations, is provided below.
cache :
The search engine keeps the text of the many documents it crawls available in a backed-up format known as "cache." A cached version of a web page can be retrieved if the original page is unavailable (for example, the page's server is down). The cached page appears exactly as it looked when the crawler last crawled it and includes a message (at the top of the page) to indicate that it's a cached version of the page.
The query [cache:] shows the cached version of the web page. For instance, [cache:www.toyota-shokki.co.jp] shows the cached page of TICO's homepage.
Note: There can be no space between cache: and the web page URL in the query.
If you include other words in the query, those words will be highlighted within the cached document. For instance, [cache:www.toyota-shokki.co.jp press releases] shows the cached content with the words "press" and "releases" highlighted.
The query [info:] returns all information available for that particular URL. For instance, [info:www.toyota-shokki.co.jp] shows information about the TICO homepage. Note there can be no space between the info: and the web page URL.
If you include [site:] in your query, the results are restricted to those websites in the given domain. For instance, [help site:www.toyota-shokki.co.jp] finds pages about help within www.toyota-shokki.co.jp. Using [help site:com] finds pages about help within the .com domain pages.
Note: There can be no space between the "site:" and the domain.
The query [link:] enables you to restrict your search to all pages that link to the query page. To do this, use the [link:sampledomain.com] syntax in the search box. (No other query terms can be specified when using this special query term.)
For example, to find all links to Stanford's main page, enter:
If you start a query with [allintitle:], the results are restricted to documents with all of the query words in the document's HTML title. For example, [allintitle: business report] only returns documents that have both "business" and "report" in the HTML title.
If you include [intitle:] in your query, the search is restricted to results with documents containing that word in the HTML title. For example, [intitle:business report] returns documents that mention the word "business" in their HTML title, and mention the word "report" anywhere in the document either in the title or anywhere else in the document.
Note: There can be no space between the "intitle:" and the following word.
Putting [intitle:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting [allintitle:] at the front of your query. For example, [intitle:business intitle:report] is the same as [allintitle: business report].
If you start a query with [allinurl:], the search is restricted to results with all of the query words in the URL. For example, [allinurl: business report] returns only documents that have both "business" and "report" in the URL.
Note: [allinurl:] works on words, not URL components. In particular, it ignores punctuation. Thus, [allinurl: industrial/vehicles] restricts the results to pages with the words "industrial" and "vehicles" in the URL, but doesn't require that they be separated by a slash within that URL, that they be adjacent, or that they be in that particular word order. There is currently no way to enforce these constraints.
If you include [inurl:] in your query, the results are restricted to documents containing that word in the URL. For example, [inurl:business report] returns documents that mention the word "business" in their URL and mention the word "report" anywhere in the document either in the URL or anywhere else in the document.
Note: There can be no space between the "inurl:" and the following word.
Note: [inurl:] works on words, not URL components. In particular, it ignores punctuation. Thus, in the query [toyota inurl:industrial/vehicles], the inurl: operator affects only the word "industrial," which is the single word following the inurl: operator, and does not affect the word "vehicles." The query [toyota inurl:industrial inurl:vehicles] can be used to require both "industrial" and "vehicles" to be in the URL.
Putting [inurl:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting [allinurl:] at the front of your query. For example, [inurl:business inurl:report] is the same as [allinurl: business report].

Charles Barkley's signature sneaker line with Nike continues to receive an honorary service as we get a look at the latest Barkley-inspired hybrid. This time, it features Foamposite material – a true first for the Barkley; it features a Foamposite upper construction with design cues taken from the classic Nike Air Max2 CB '94. Surrounding features like the new 'CB' badge on the heel and a 'Not A Role Model' traction detailing outsole complete one of the most surprising heriage-inspired models we've seen. What are your thoughts on Foamposite hitting the Barkley line? Would you like to see a true new Barkley signature shoe (like the Penny V is for Hardaway?). More shots below, so take a look and look out for these to hit Spring 2013 for $235.

They blend in this shit nice...last CBs I had was blue glass....good shoe but heavy to ball in..
these are raw. If they didnt have the two names attatched and was just a new foam model yall would love these.
i rather ask nike to retro the Godzillas than this.
well, nike got one thing right... if penny hardaway and charles barkley booty porked, their seed would def be this ugly
...taking it to another level. Thank goodness for NiKE.
$235 $hit $180 the most
$235 sounds cheap when you convert that dollar in to GB 'Pound' sterling
That's Wut I'm talking about sick shoe
OOOHHH SHIT !!! These are actually better than i thought ... might have ta cop
omg! love at 1st sight...and i think a lot of it has to do with the color. sick!
they goin overboard...puttin foam on everything smh
Would love to see some Foam Pros in this cw though
Go hard so is the prise , worth copping em
Just give me the foamposites in this color foam.
WHOA!!!!!!!!!!! nice shoe
lets be real yo they straight now but 235 hell fuck no call me cheap if you like but not me i bet u nike will be like gucci and dolce in the next few years fine ill go bk to chucks i still got a shit load
Unnecessary and overpriced.
nice, i seen these on sneakernews INSTAGRAM, had to check these out. dope!
they look cool, but the folks over at nike must be f*cking idiots if they seriously think they're going to move a bunch of these at $235! i would not pay a cent over $150., and THAT'S pushing it...
Sick.. But 235? Idk if I wanna break bank for these.. Wait it out maybe..
ugly and overpriced.
these look awesome!!
235? The good folks at Nike have lost their ever lovin minds....nah son
235 for some fusions? i would cop for like 170 at the most
This is what happens after the creative minds at Nike all crash and you can't retro any other sneaker. Now you bring back sneakers and throw the word posite on the end.. Nike has to branch out and find new designers. These are over priced but Nike doesn't care because ppl still find a way to buy them and that's all the brand cares about.. This is only the beginning for 2013 releases.. NIKE just beginning to get their hands on some of your income tax return!!
These r fresh but that price tag is crazy
I really like da design & look like they feel comfortable as hell. Da bottoms are xtra fly too... but 235???... cmon bro. Does it come wit an autograph & an escort wit ur purchase lol... only shoes I pay over 200 fa is penny foams & ima keep it dat way. But they'll b at a outlets I think
they were looking decent until i saw the price ..
Nice shoe... 235?!? Hyperposites get tons of shelf life & these might sit with em! Too many CW's and an ridiculous price make shoes easy to over look!
I liked them until I saw 235$. Nike can kiss my ass with that shit.
Yo 235 I didn't think anything could get higher than foams that wasn't a pack
I may be the only one that likes them but they need to get rid of the gem swoosh. It looks out of place and doesn't belong.
no sir.
lol this is a joke right? no bueno but i bet itll be sold out. whats next? jordans? smh
Nike is going to rape this foam shit for all it's worth. Aye, people are gonna continue to buy it so why not.

If you're looking for lake homes for sale/rent, consider homes on Lake Jackson in central Georgia. This intimate lake is celebrated in Georgia for hosting some of the best fishing in the state, in addition to premium recreation opportunities. Situated only 44 miles from the Atlanta metropolis, Lake Jackson is a natural sanctuary where you're invited to relax and make memories.
Lake Jackson is easily accessible and manageable in size. It occupies approximately 4,750 acres of space and touches Newton, Butts, and Jasper counties. Anglers of all skill levels flock to Lake Jackson for full-on fishing marathons and day trips alike, as the waters are inviting year-round. The shoreline stretches 135 miles, weaving itself into hidden coves and quiet inlets. Needless to say, anglers in the know plot out their favorite corner of the lake and settle in for some supreme fishing. Largemouth, striped, hybrid, and spotted bass are the lake's prized sport fish, and it also hosts impressive numbers of bluegill, crappie, sunfish, and catfish. Whether you fish from the shore or a boat, you're sure to get a bite!
Three public park areas, six marinas, and several campsites surround the lake, ensuring you always have access to the water. The main area of Lake Jackson is also open to boats, water skiing, and other water recreation toys. Lake homes for sale/rent situated along the shoreline have the added advantage of unparalleled scenic views bathed in pink sunsets and bordered by shimmering water. Splash the day away in the cool lake waters or watch it drift by from a shady spot on the beach; either way, you have the best vantage point in town!
You can step away from the lake for a good game of golf. Several quality golf courses are situated near Lake Jackson. A few such courses include Turtle Cove, Canongate , and Eagle's Brooke. Another noteworthy course is Hickory Hill. This semiprivate 27-hole establishment is actually divided into three 9-hole courses, which gives golfers the opportunity to design the game of their choice. If you're interested in living on a Lake Jackson golf course, check out GolfHomes.com for property listings and details.
Intimate, engaging, relaxing, and inviting, Lake Jackson provides the perfect setting for a truly enjoyable living situation. Experience all that Lake Jackson has to offer for yourself and understand why this little lake has won over so many hearts!

Opera 12 goes 64-bit, sandboxes plugins, delivers very good HTML5 compatibility
Neither Gecko nor WebKit and definitely not Internet Explorer, Opera is beloved by a vocal minority of browser users because it's fast and offers unique features. Part of the attraction is Opera's strong development cycle and this release will burnish that reputation.
Norway's Opera Software, perhaps best known for its mobile browser, has released Opera 12 (version history), which is available immediately for Mac, Linux and that other operating system. This latest whole number release brings a range of new and/or improved features:
• Opera now runs plug-ins as a separate process, allowing for more control when a plug-in misbehaves. This feature will enhance security and stability.
• The 64-bit version of Opera will offer performance improvements for some functions and allow Opera more freedom in allocating memory.
• The new Opera skinning system will allow background image, colorization, and which parts of the UI are shown to be modified.
• Numerous improvements to the address bar have been made:
• Improved address field and address bar drop-down suggestions
• Smart URL shortening in the address field drop-down
• The page title and the page excerpt will be used for full page search results
• URL and page content columns in the address field drop-down have been combined
• Hardware acceleration allows Opera to offload graphics rendering from the processor (CPU) to the graphics card (GPU), making graphics intensive operations such as animations faster.
• Unite, Widgets, and Voice are now off by default, to be phased out later
• See version history for complete listing of changes
A bit late to the 64-bit game, but welcome nonetheless. One of the cool new features that didn't make the this time around is HTML5 drag n' drop — look for that in an upcoming release.
That said, Opera 12 still scores a very respectable 385 out of 500 points on the HTML5 Test versus Safari (334), Firefox (345) and Chrome (400).

Staycation – Being a Tourist in Your Own Town
Largely attributable to rising gas prices, and the perceived cost of travel as a result, many families are forgoing traditional vacations and are opting for something closer to home, the staycation. The results are more than just the enjoyment of taking in the local sights, but also lower costs and a renewed appreciation for where you live.
You might not think of your hometown as a tourist destination, but an outsider would probably find many exciting things to do when passing through. A visit to your local Chamber of Commerce (yes, even your little town has one) should give you plenty of ideas of what there is to do. If you need other ideas, think back to where schools take their field trips. You'll probably appreciate many of the same destinations, perhaps more than you did as a child.
We often take "local" to mean boring, but that is certainly not the case. More exotic locations may sound more impressive at your next dinner party, but that doesn't mean that you won't have a good time at local attractions. There was so much to do near my wife's hometown that we actually stayed at a hotel and truly were tourists in her own town. By thinking of our time there as a vacation, which it was, we finally had the time to see all of the things we had always meant to see, but never seemed to have the time to do. Entertaining visitors is another way to see the local sights. By finding ways to entertain them with local attractions, you will remind yourself of the many things to do.
Most of my favorite memories were formed locally, surrounded by family and friends. It's no wonder that the investment of my time towards rediscovering local points of interest would be any different. The best part about finding things to do locally is that it's so easy to do them again and again. Far off locations are great, and should probably be visited as well, but for the budget-conscious and world traveler alike, taking a staycation can be just as rewarding.

Curious what you all think about the .40 vs. .45 dilemma?
Stopping power?
Anything else?

I have a .40, I love it, its been proven (as far as I'm concerned) by law enforcement, and the ammo is pretty plentiful right now. I don't have a lot of experience with the .45, but I'm positive its a good round too. In my opinion, they are both perfectly adequate defense rounds but .40 seems to have much better ammo availability at the moment, at least in my neck of the woods.
March 11, 2009, 02:27 PM
Stopping power?
Cost is about a wash.
Stopping power is more a function of which one you're more capable of shooting accurately.
Availability: pretty much any pistol caliber is more difficult to find in quantity nowdays.
March 11, 2009, 02:40 PM
.40 is the modern .38 special. It'll do the job, just not as well.
I keed, I keed...... well sorta. :D
March 11, 2009, 02:41 PM
The cost difference is negligible, particularly between defensive loads.
REAL WORLD stopping power is pretty much a wash. I don't care as much for the increased ft/lbs of energy in the .40 as much as I like the increased wound channel of my 230 gr HSTs. Either one penetrates enough to be considered a viable defensive pistol round.
I have never seen a shortage of either cartridge, however, life seems to be much simpler when I only look for 230 gr WWB.
In every pistol where I have been able to shoot both the .40 and .45 version, the .40 had snappier recoil than the .45

Curious what you all think about the .40 vs. .45 dilemma?
I didn't know there was a dilemma. I assumed they would both do the job just fine. Never heard of a bad guy being shot in the chest and saying "gee, I'm glad it was only a .40... had it been a .45, I might be even more dead"
;) Teasing... WELCOME TO THR!
To be serious... the only time having a .45 would really be better is if you had to abide by the Hague Convention and only use FMJ. For the rest of us that can use expanding ammo, its all the same.

I agree.

If you think caliber is the question or problem, you simply don't understand.
38,357mag,9mm,357SIG,40S&W,10mm,45acp. And few other more esoteric caliber (38super, 9x23 45gap etc....) have history of being RELATIVELY effective. And in every case a poor substitute for a rifle round or if close range, a shotgun with at least #1 buckshot as a minimum.
Make sure your weapon fits you. You should not have to adapt to fit the gun. Most guns either fit or don't. today, gun makers are now making weapons that can fit several different size hands. It is one of the reasons the 1911 is and has been so revered. It can be made or adapted to fit almost any hand size. For over 100 years Saint Browning was ahead of the curve there too.
Choose good bullets in what ever caliber was the caliber your platform/gun of choice was designed for.
Being reliable is the number one through three reasons to choose any weapon.
Quality training, and a lot of it. Quality practice, Maintenance, cleaning, and lubrication as needed.
The fellow who I am referring to below, is the leading researcher in "stopping" power in small arms in the United States. The FBI use him quite often.
If you take a handgun to a gun fight, Darwin has a place for you. You get caught in a fight with a handgun, you go to a gunfight with a shoulder arm, unless you have a strong need to reinforce Darwins theory's.
Go figure.
March 11, 2009, 04:34 PM
Whatever gun fits you the best, and if you're on a budget then a cheap caliber to practice more. But, for certain applications (such as highway patrol needs) a gun with more penetration like a .357 sig, 10mm, or a .40 are preferable for shooting through car doors and what not.

100 rds of WWB .40 costs $28 while 100 rds of .45 acp costs $35.
It adds up, if that matters.
March 11, 2009, 04:44 PM
.40??? Whats a .40? .45ACP is my choice.
March 11, 2009, 04:48 PM
a .40 is just a castrated 10mm... :D
But if you're having a dilemma, I suggest getting both and letting them shoot it out in your gun safe... and see which comes out unscathed... LOL
Seriously... it's like chosing between a redhead and a brunnette... they'll both do the job, just one does it with more 'tude..
March 11, 2009, 07:38 PM
Got one of each. I have complete faith either will leave the muzzle when and if I need them too... and if I do my part I can reasonably expect either caliber perform as well as a pistol caliber can.

March 11, 2009, 09:28 PM
If you are near a range where you can rent both I would suggest you see if you can shoot both calibers in the same platform to see which you shoot best. Spending a little money on this now could be a lot less expensive than buying a gun & then after shooting it deciding you don't like it. I like my .40 caliber pistols but have never shot .45 so can't comment on that.

I had a .40 Commander built to go along with my .45s. I thought it would make a nice IDPA and defensive gun. I found I didn't like shooting or reloading the caliber as much as the .45acp. The higher pressure round and super-sonic (ear splitting) crack of the lighter bullets were annoying. Heavier loads in the subsonic range were OK. I also found the .40 finicky to reload for best accuracy - not impossible, but it was harder than with .45acp. Not a concern if you are buying (or are issued) commercial ammo.
So, to me it breaks down like this:
1) Reloading and pleasant to shoot - big edge to .45
2) Need high capacity - big edge to .40
If I were a beat cop or combat soldier, I'd might go with a high-cap .40 over anything else out there. For personal/home defense and recreational shooting, I like the .45acp.
March 11, 2009, 11:34 PM
I don't have anything against the .40 but between the 9mm and .45 ACP, all my autoloader needs are met.
March 12, 2009, 12:41 AM
dilemna? really? :scrutiny: The 40 short & weak vs. the 45 acp? I've owned 5 49 caliber pistols -- sold them. I currently have 5 45's and counting ;) no dilemna here :D
March 12, 2009, 08:10 AM
I have twice as many .45's as I do .40's but its the .40 that I carry every day.
March 12, 2009, 09:12 AM
I think it depends mostly upon shot placement. I shoot the 1911 in 45ACP better than I do my SIG in 40 S&W. I can place the shots better and place more shots with the 1911 as the recoil is more easily managed for me. The 40 has a sharp nasty recoil impulse to me, whereas the 45ACP is more of a "push" with much less flip.
March 12, 2009, 09:19 AM
Not a big fan of the .40S&W. High working pressures, snappy recoil, and about the same cost as .45 stuff. I'd rather have a .45 and I do!
Now 10mm, thats a whole different story.
March 12, 2009, 09:40 AM
Count me in with Taurus 9mm.
If I want capacity 9mm is fine, if I want a larger bore .45 is fine.
.40 sounds nice but I think the other two rounds are well proven enough to fit the bill.
March 12, 2009, 11:44 AM
Having owned and shot both, I think I prefer the .45 the most. Felt recoil seems to be less with the .45ACP, but I'm using a Glock 27 and a 4" 1911 for comparison. If you can, go to a range that rents out Glocks in both .40 and .45 and see which you prefer more.
March 12, 2009, 12:30 PM
Each has its pros and cons. The .40 has a higher capacity that can be put into a smaller grip, but noticably snappier recoil.
The .45 tends to recoil as more of a push than a snap so is a little easier to shoot rapidly. Capacity is lower than the .40 and grip is bigger. Cost is about the same between the two. The .45 seems to be more accurate from my experience.
You just have to weigh the pros and cons and decide which ones are more important to you. Or do what most people do and own guns of all popular calibers.
I won't even get into a stopping power debate. It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
March 12, 2009, 12:41 PM
Hehe... stopping power... A baseball bat has more stopping power than a bullet so that is pretty much a moot point. I personally don't mind .40s at all and will probably be buying one just because of the snappy recoil... Doesn't really make a lot of sense does it? I want to get used to the snappiness so when I go to other calibers I won't flinch and I will be able to handle them easier than if I just go from a weak caliber to a more powerful one.
March 12, 2009, 01:22 PM
I would consider that if you plan to reload, that some .40 cal. handguns like the .40 cal. Glocks, do not have fully supported chambers. Brass life will be shorter if you have that type of chamber and could be dangerous with weakened brass. I don't know all the pistols that use this type of unsupported chamber, so its worth checking into if you plan to reload. LM
March 12, 2009, 04:52 PM
Which one would you prefer being shot with? I would rather carry the one that you do not want to get shot with.
