Two Georgia men were arrested after they fell through the ceiling of a movie theater bathroom, trying to spy on women, police said.
The alleged incident took place Sunday night at an Atlanta-area cinema.
According to arrest warrants, employees believe the men went up through the men's restroom ceiling, crawled over to the women's bathroom and then fell through the ceiling into the stalls below, Atlanta TV station WSB reported.
Eduard Petrovich Kovynev, 26, and Eduard Alexander Kovynev, 27, have both been charged with peeping Tom activity and criminal damage to property.
They have since posted bond and are no longer in jail.
WSB tracked down one of the men at his home, but he declined to comment.

A college student in Tampa, Fla., said he paid about $180 for a required statistics textbook that he claims is filled with language and math errors.
Jason Richardson, a junior at the University of Southern Florida, said "The Joy of Statistics: Learning with Real World Data" is riddled with "a lot of things that didn't make a lot of sense," WFTS-TV reported.
"The sentence reads 'A random sample of 50 pieces of plastic are being used 6mm these pieces of nylon rope are taken and the breaking strength (KN) is measured,'" Richardson told the TV station.
Citing another example from the book, Richardson said, "We're told CI equals CI divided by N, which wouldn't make sense because you can't divide CI by something to get CI. That's like saying two divided by two equals four, which doesn't make sense."
According to WFTS, Richardson contacted the publisher, Kendall Hunt, and asked for a refund.
However, the company would only acknowledge that there are mistakes, but that the textbook is still a useful resource for learning.
"It's human error. It's an unfortunate part of publishing, and it sounds like in this case from what I'm being told there were a significant amount of errors," Chad Chandlee, president of Kendall Hunt said in an interview. "My question would be, did the book advance their ability to learn the subject matter? I think our answer to it is it did."
Richardson said the errors in his textbook definitely hinder a student's success.
Kendall Hunt told the TV station that any errors in the textbook are being corrected.
On its website, Kendall Hunt said it makes every effort to ensure that the information in its titles is accurate, but that occasionally, errors do occur. So it offers errata sheets to replace pages of text that may contain errors.
At present, there are no replacement pages available for Richardson's textbook.

Anti-scratch sapphire crystal with double anti-reflection treatment
All our watches are fitted with sapphire crystal. This is
cut from a polished slice of solid sapphire that has been
created by the fusion and crystallization of alumina.
Sapphire is so hard that only a diamond can scratch it.
Polished faceted hands and indexes are hand applied and coated with luminescent materialfor enhanced visibility

C.O.S.C chronometerfor ultimate precision certified by the Swiss Office of Chronometry
Each model that is officially certified as a chronometer
is given a booklet and a C.O.S.C. card by TAG Heuer. The
individual number printed on the card corresponds to
the number engraved on the movement certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Control.
Each of these movements is a unique object that has been
produced with the greatest possible care and is an authentic
masterpiece of watchmaking.
The C.O.S.C. Chronometer Certificate: a sign of very high precision and
Automatic chronograph movement
TAG Heuer Automatic chronographs make it possible
to measure times with an accuracy
of 1/8th of a second. They are all fitted with very high-
frequency Swiss movements and represent one of the
great achievements in the long watchmaking tradition
and history of the company.
The principal characteristics of TAG Heuer automatic
chronographs are reliability, simplicity of use and a
highly legible display. They have a number of useful
functions for professional and leisure sporting activi-
ties, as well as for everyday use:
— Simple time measurement
— Additional time measurement
Tachymeter scale on bezelfor average speed measurement The tachymeter indicates the average speed of a car, for example, by measuring the time taken to cover a given distance (a kilometer or a mile).

To maintain the esthetic appeal of your watch and keep it in good working order, you should clean it regularly as follows:
If the temperature changes suddenly, a slight amount condensation may appear under the crystal of your watch. This mist will disappear by itself and will not affect the functioning of the watch. If the condensation persists, please see your official TAG Heuer dealer.
Water resistance is not a permanent condition. The rubber seals that are designed to ensure against water entry, are under constant pressure and given time will deteriorate.
For this important reason we recommend that a watch should be checked annually to ensure that the seals remain intact.
This thorough and extensive testing includes pressure tests and bench tests and is considered an essential element in the care and maintenance of our watches.
For all movements
For mechanical movements
Straps in fabric, leather and alligator or python skin
All alloys and decorative plating in precious metals are systematically tested. Fluorescence X analysis tests the content of precious elements (carats) and plating thickness. Tests are carried out separately and in tandem to obtain a realistic picture of what the watch is subjected to on a daily basis. This procedure is entirely new in watchmaking.
TAG Heuer watches are intended to accompany their owner through all life's adventures. For this reason, the brand carries out accelerated wear tests on cases and bracelets so that, if necessary, the coating of a case or a metal bracelet can be modified to increase its resistance to friction.
All watch functions are subjected to tests that reproduce not only a wearer's everyday movements but also typical accidents. The turning bezel, crown and push-buttons undergo more than 5,000 testing cycles, equivalent to several years of use in normal conditions.
In everyday life or when playing a sport it is easy to forget that you are wearing a watch on your wrist. It only takes a sudden quick movement and the watch can hit something hard. To avoid watches suffering such shocks, TAG Heuer carries out rigorous tests on machines that reproduce the shock waves of a significant impact. The watch being tested must not show any signs of mechanical damage.
In a Formula 1 car, on a motor-bike or on a mountain bike, wristwatches are subjected to brief, repetitive movements and intense vibration. To test the robustness, precision and integrity of its watches under these conditions, TAG Heuer has developed a machine that reproduces this vibration at a level well above normal. The test must not affect the operation of the watch, its components, bracelet and screws, nor reveal any sign of fatigue.
Simply putting on and taking off a watch causes wear and tear on the buckle of a leather strap or the clasp of a metal bracelet. TAG Heuer submits buckles and clasps to a traction of 15-20 kg over 5,000 cycles, followed by twisting under tension. No component must show any signs of permanent deformation or tearing.
Chlorine, sulphur, perspiration and sea salt can attack the materials in a watch or reduce the mobility of certain components. TAG Heuer carries out tests on cases, crowns, metal bracelets, as well as leather and rubber straps, to ensure that they are resistant to potentially damaging elements and have no effect on the skin. Only materials that meet the brand's standards are approved for use.
The temperature of a watch exposed to the sun for a long period can exceed 40°C, while in winter it can fall below zero. For this reason, individual components as well as complete watches are tested, particularly in tropical conditions, to ensure they will function correctly and accurately between 0°C and 50°C.
Heat and light often have an adverse effect on plastics, varnishes and leather. The TAG Heuer quality laboratory carries out stringent tests to verify the stability of these materials over time: they are exposed to the equivalent of strong summer sunlight for three full days. This ensures that all the materials used are highly reliable at all latitudes and in all seasons.
The water-resistance of a sports watch protects the components, reduces the need for servicing and prolongs the life of the movement. TAG Heuer performs tests on 100% of its production, in water and under pressure. The professional diving chronograph, the Aquaracer 500M, must also pass a special test to verify that its push-buttons are water-resistant and operational down to 500m. This procedure has required specific testing equipment to be created.

Weight's down and flexibility is up in the Nike Free Run+ 3, now lower to the ground with a more customizable fit.
Testers weren't sure what to expect before they put on the latest Nike Free Run. After all, the shoe has undergone some pretty significant changes, particularly in the upper. But after slipping this shoe on and lacing it up, testers who have run in prior versions of the Free felt right at home.
On first glance, the new upper that includes a tongue may make you think that the Free Run 3 is sneaking its way into the Traditional Running Shoe Club. Not so fast. The tongue construction actually makes the shoe easier to put on, and the tongue itself is thin and breathable. The tongue did not create any unwelcome seams or hotspots and the shoe remains highly runnable if you want to go sockless.
Once they were situated in the shoe, testers appreciated the adjustability of the new Dynamic Fit system in the midfoot. It doesn't feel quite as customizable as other implementations of the system, such as in the LunarEclipse+ 2 and Vomero+ 7, but still gives a runner the ability to cinch down the midfoot in just the right places or leave the midfoot fit more generous.
Of course, the most notable feature of the Free Run remains its mid/outsole. In its latest version, the platform remains flexible and offers an extraordinarily smooth transition. So what types of runs can you do in the latest Free Run? It remains a great foot strengthening tool, given how much emphasis it gives to making your foot do the work. After running in the shoe regularly, testers report that daily training and even speedwork are not only possible, but are actually enjoyable. Runners who take the time to work up their foot strength in the Free Run can expect handsome rewards both in this shoe and when running in other flats and trainers.
Feels like more of a protective ride than a cushioned one. If you're a heel striker, this shoe will help you change your ways.
I love this shoe for shorter runs and as a foot strengthening tool. It's a great option for someone who wants to refine their running form.
The forefoot by the base of the laces is on the snug side for me, and I also experienced some pinching by the little toe.

Instead of tacos and burritos, customers at a Taco Bell drive-through in Michigan got a bag full of money.
Kennidi Rue, Luke Postma and Grant Kruse told Grand Rapids TV station WZZM they didn't realize the store in Kentwood had accidentally given them $3,600 until they had driven miles away.
They looked inside for their burritos, and instead pulled out three bags filled with wads of $20 and $100 bills.
The three joked around a bit about keeping the cash, but instead returned it, thinking someone might lose their job.
"It obviously wasn't ours, it wasn't like we were losing anything by bringing it back so we just thought we'd bring it back and I don't know, do it the right way I guess," Kruse told WZZM.
The best thing about taking the money back, they said, was finally getting their food.
They told WZZM that's all they wanted in the first place.

It's whale season in the islands. Lots of lucky folks have spotted those gentle giants off our shores.
There was a sighting of a different kind -- one much rarer in waters off the Big Island.
Imagine being a half-mile offshore in the waters of Kealakekua Bay and coming face to face with a whale shark!
"He just cruises around around in big long circles and kinda comes up to everybody and everybody's boat, and it's like a real friendly puppy dog," said boat captain Tony Roensch.
That so-called puppy dog is a 35-foot-long whale shark who, for nearly an hour on Sunday, swam with Roensch and a group and six very lucky visitors on a SeaQuest snorkeling tour.
"The animal is just amazingly friendly, and a lot of the guys I have done this with before, they all said that's probably the nicest most friendly whale shark they ever saw," said Roensch.
Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are not a threat to humans.
"They are very docile, and they just eat plankton. They don't even have teeth, even though they look like a humongous shark," said Roensch. "They're so beautiful and they're so big and there's no fear involved."
No fear, but lots of curiosity from both the swimmers and the whale shark itself.
Roensch said, "He checked out every boat and every person and it was amazing how docile he was. It was a great experience."
The captain tells us that in three decades of being out in those waters, he's only seen a whale shark a handful of times. And he's never seen one stick around and interact in that way.

Cadet top line overpowers Pilgrims
NORTHFIELD Norwichs go-to line of Colin Mulvey, Tory Allan and Travis Janke shipwrecked the New England College Pilgrims during Fridays 5-0 mens hockey victory at Kreitzberg Arena.
Goalie Chris Czarnota worked the pipes to record his first shutout of the season as the top-ranked Cadets upped their record to 17-2-0 overall and 12-1-0 in ECAC East play.
Norwich came out buzzing and peppered NEC goalie Shawn Sirman with six quick shots. The Cadets went ahead 1-0 on the first of two Mulvey goals, a backhand through the five-hole at 2:46 with assists to Allan and Janke.
Norwich used its speed to carry the play and rack up 30 shots on goal, compared to New England Colleges eight attempts through the first two periods.But the Cadets had to settle for a 2-0 lead and deal with a Pilgrim power play to start the third period. Halfway through the middle period, Norwich held a 27-3 shots-on-goal edge, but Sirman (38 saves) proved tough to beat.
Mulveys second goal came on a pretty connect-the-dots play. Janke returned Mulveys pass back to him as he proceeded unchecked to the net.
On the first goal, I saw Tory cycling up high with a defender on him, Mulvey said. I tried to get open and he slid it to me. I spun around and snuck it though the five-hole.
We knew when Pier (captain Pier-Olivier Cotnoir) got hurt that we needed to pick him up, Mulvey said of his linemates. Janke is so unselfish. He and Allan are two exceptional players. They make me look good.
Throughout the contest it seemed a question of when, rather than if, Norwich could put more points on the board. Midway through the final period, the Cadets struck twice in 25 seconds.
Nevin Lawler scored on a rebound of Alec Thiedas slap shot at 8:50. Gerard McEleney also had an assist. Thieda had been robbed twice before by Sirman.
Defenseman Erik Lyrvall scored his first career with assists from Janke and Allan.Allans goal in the closing seconds came with an assist from Lyrvall and Thieda.
New England College dressed 10 players from Sweden and three from Finland. The Pilgrims dipped to 7-12-2.
Czarnota stopped 13 shots while lowering his goals-against average to 1.92.
We had a real good start, Norwich coach Mike McShane said. I thought the second goal by Mulvey was key. We had a strong third period and all of our lines skated well.

Hearing loss can affect anyone at any age. Frequent exposure to loud noise at work or for leisure can damage your hearing forever. However, it can be hard to know how loud is too loud.
Sound is measured in decibels denoted as dB(A). The following chart shows a number of common situations and their respective decibel level: - 20 dB(A) is a quiet room at night
- 60 dB(A) is ordinary conversation
- 70 dB(A) is a city street
Sounds Over 80dB(A) Can Damage Your Hearing:
- 80 -120 dB(A) is a night club
- 110dB(A) is a pneumatic drill nearby
- 110 - 120 dB(A) is a rock concert
- 130 dB(A) is an airplane taking off 100 meters away
- 140 db(A) is the threshold of pain for many people
A good rule of thumb is that if you can't talk to people two meters away without shouting, it means the noise level is dangerous and you should take precautions to protect your hearing.
If you've ever been to a club or listened to loud music on your MP3 player and then found you either have ringing in your ears or that you can't hear properly for a few hours afterwards, then your ears are telling you that the sound was too loud.
Methods Of Protecting Your Ears
How you should protect your ears depends upon the given situation, so here are some examples of common aural dangers and what you can do to protect yourself.
Going To A Club?
- Use chill out areas to give your ears a rest.
- Avoid dancing or standing beside loud speakers.
- Wear earplugs designed for clubs if you go clubbing regularly. They will reduce the level of sound hitting your ears, but they won't impair the variety of tones, ensuring the music sounds the same.
Going To A Concert Or Festival?
- Stand away from the loud speakers.
- Take regular breaks from the music to give your ears a rest.
- If you want to watch the main act at the front of the stage, watch the support from farther back.
- If you regularly go to concerts and festivals, again, wear specially designed earplugs. They only cost the price of a CD.
MP3s, Personal Stereos
The advent of music downloads has made personal listening devices more popular than ever. Unfortunately, their close proximity to the ears means they can have a very damaging affect on your hearing if they are not used sensibly.- If you can't hear external sounds when you've got your headphones on it's probably too loud.
- Take regular breaks from your headphones to give your ears a rest.
- Turn down the volume a notch -- even a small reduction in volume can make a big difference to the risk of damage to your hearing.
- Avoid using the volume to drown out background noise, for example, the sound of the train or traffic.
- Use headphones rather than ear phones, as headphones block external noise so you don't need to increase your volume to hear the music.
- Some MP3s have volume-limiting software that keep the output at a safe level.
Protection While Shooting
The sound of a gunshot is easily loud enough to damage your hearing, so it's critical that you always wear ear protection. The three main options available are ear plugs, ear muffs and electronic hearing protection. Muffs provide more protection than plugs, but a good set of plugs is still better than a poor set of muffs. Electronic protection generally refers to electronic muffs which often have a tone and volume control so you can amplify sounds and frequencies as well as block them.
It is important to understand that once your hearing deteriorates it will not come back and often you won't know the damage you have done until it catches up with you in later life.

The words "back to school" usually fill parents with an equal mix of elation and jitters.
After all, how can you be expected to get all those extra chores done when you haven't even gotten to everything on last year's back-to-school list quite yet?
With your kids seemingly plugged permanently into a mythical never-ending summer, getting them going again can be hard, to say the least.
All these thoughts and more are running through your head and then you hear the voices. They are coming in out from outside demanding food and drink. Gritting one's teeth too loud wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe it is time to get started.
Repeat after us: this year is going to be different. Just follow the five following tips to help ease the summer-to-school transition.
Let's start by getting a good night's sleep ...
Roll back those bedtimes
Kids feel as if they own the world because they don't have to go to bed as early. Again, this year is going to be different.
Bedtimes should ideally start to change two weeks before school, moving back gradually until they match up with school year bedtimes.
If your kids are above the age of 9 or 10 and can interact relatively well, have a family meeting to discuss bedtimes. Introducing a reward system is an especially good way to get their attention.
Let them know each will be given 150 points to start the back to school preparation period. Those who comply with the new bedtime get to keep the points, which they can "cash in" for an agreed-upon reward.
On the flip side, complaints, whining and tantrums result in lost points and a much smaller reward when it comes time to cash in.
Our next tip ensures your students can make a fashion statement without hurting your bank statement ...
Set a strict clothes budget
Budgeting is the buzzword in most households, especially these days. But kids often have eyes for clothes like they do for birthday cake: they always want more.
Before hitting the stores, spread out the back-to-school ads and let your kids know what this year's clothes budget will be. There will always be certain items kids consider status symbols that they just have to have. If their fancied item is outside of your budget, suggest chores to make up the difference.
Tell each child how much you can spend on them. They can have a hand in stretching the budget if they find items on sale or a lay-away-plan. Anyone participating in a practical manner -- meaning no eye-rolling -- can have the opportunity to earn additional reward points.
Any child who is still moaning and oozing a bad attitude after all this will be subject to loosing some points.
Moving on, be sure to make those list and check them twice ...
Do your homework on school supplies
Even the most veteran back-to-school shopper can get rattled by the school supply list.
In these times of budget cutbacks, students have become responsible for an ever-growing list spanning everything from folders and notebooks to disinfecting wipes and graphing calculators.

During extended deployments, the "dopp kit design" of our most simple toiletry bag is based on roomy tried-and-tested military shave kits. The footlong main compartment is big enough to get lost in, and the two external zippered flat slip pockets help you quickly find your medication or your toothbrush.
One could even use the Nomad Shave Kit to carry a pair of shoes, flats, sandals or slippers, making it a "footlong packing cube," thereby keeping your other belongings free of dirt and soiling. You can stuff three Nomads across in both the Air Boss and Sky Train, they really do make great packing cubes. So you could pack one to carry socks and underwear, one with rolled t-shirts, and one to hold a pair of flats or sandals. You can also check out our line of packing cubes designed to work with Red Oxx Carry-on bags.
The carry handle makes it easy to hang on door handles, or wrench out from being buried under other luggage (an especially "handy" feature while using this packing cube during overland travel). Heavy-duty #10YKK zippers all come with our Fair Trade Monkey Fist Zip Knots for quick and easy zip open and close action.
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around shave kits that weigh 20 tons and have two inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a shave kit, Nomads are built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors toiletry shave kits that brag of "binding" their edges.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can find, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Like everything we build, the Red Oxx Nomad Shave Kit is guaranteed to never come apart. Choose from 12 vibrant colors. Mix-and-match or color coordinate to keep everything organized.
The Nomad: another simple, yet effective, multi-use soft-sided bag from Red Oxx. In stock, all colors, ready to ship.

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'A Trillion Feet of Gas'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In a story called "A Trillion Feet of Gas," John Updike couldn't resist a fart joke in the opening sentence: "Old Man Fraelich, as soon as they entered his room, rose in his pearl-pale suit and intoned flatuently, 'John, let's you and I go downstairs.' " »Read Full Blog Post

First, snuggle up with a good blog post about one of John Updike's stories written by our very own arts and books editor Jim Higgins. This week Higgins takes on a story called "A Trillion Feet of Gas," which, as I understand it is the tale of an akward dinner party in a rich man's home that includes a natural pairing: too much testosterone and at least one fart joke. That might be an over simplification. Jim posts his weekly missives at 8 a.m. at the Recommended Reading blog. »Read Full Blog Post

A Texas man is trying to clear his name after he was arrested and cited for warning drivers about a speed trap.
Ron Martin, 33, defended himself in a court hearing Wednesday, claiming his warning was "the same thing as a speed limit sign," Dallas TV station WFAA reported.
"I just don't wear a uniform," he said.
Martin was arrested last October after police in Frisco saw him standing in the median of a six-lane highway holding up a homemade sign that read, "Police Ahead."
Officers had seen him holding the sign in the same median two other times that month.
There's no law in Texas banning people from warning drivers about speed traps. Police instead cited the city's ordinance that states that people holding or wearing signs for advertising must be on private property, according to WFAA.
Martin told Dallas TV station KDFW he's not opposed to speed traps, but is concerned about what he calls unsafe practices by the officers conducting the enforcement.

A Florida school bus driver faces seven charges and more are possible after she drove the bus to her own home and encouraged two teen girls to fight in her front yard, according to a report.
Patrice Sanders, 29, was arrested after Thursday's incident in Lakeland, an arrest report written by the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
After she heard two girls, ages 13 and 16, arguing on the bus, Sanders said, "This is going to be handled today and they just need to fight," a witness on the bus told investigators.
That's when Sanders drove the bus to her own home, ordered all the kids off the bus and told the two girls to fight, the report said. Sanders even asked the girls if they wanted her to go inside and get Vaseline or baby oil to put on their faces to prevent scratches.
At first, the 13-year-old girl didn't want to fight, but eventually the two began brawling in Sanders' yard as the other kids looked on. One of the students recorded the confrontation on a cell phone, investigators said.
After the fight, all the children got back on the bus, and when the two teens resumed their fight, Sanders stopped the bus and watched without trying to intervene, the arrest report said.
"What happens on the bus stays on the bus," Sanders said, according to a witness.
Sanders is due in court Saturday morning. Her charges include false imprisonment, child abuse and child neglect, among others.

Nike's LunarGlide 4 is a streamlined and stylish trainer that offers a bit of support and performance in an excellent fitting package.
The big news with the LunarGlide 4 is the new upper. The Dynamic Support system cradles the foot and adjusts to changes in the shape of the foot through the gait cycle, providing an adaptive and secure fit. Nike's Engineered Mesh reduces the need for overlays, meaning fewer seams to rub against and a more flexible upper. Our testers found the toebox snug, and the overall fit is best for runners with lower volume feet.
The midsole offers a soft, pillowy ride characteristic of shoes with Nike's Lunarlon cushioning. This shoe features ample heel cushioning and is best for heel-to-midfoot striking; forefoot strikers may find the heel only adds unnecessary weight. We found that the Dynamic Support system offers a touch of stability, best suited for mild overpronators.
Overall, we think Nike's flagship shoe receives some big changes for the better in the LunarGlide 4. We liked the more streamlined feel in comparison to previous versions, and the upper is among the best we've slipped our feet into. With these improvements, accompanied by the numerous eye-catching colorways that Nike does best, we expect to see the LunarGlide 4 on the feet of many runners.
The snug toebox and lower volume fit made this feel like a fast shoe to me. The lighter weight definitely added to this fast feeling as well.
As an overpronator, I felt sufficient support for shorter runs, but not enough for a longer run. This shoe would be best suited for a neutral to very mild overpronator.
Nike nailed it with this upper. It's definitely among the most comfortable I've tried lately.

The Empire Strikes Out
Allow me to briefly digress from the Cardinals and talk about my trip to Dodger Stadium on Friday for Star Wars night. They commemorated the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back with a lot of treats for the fans in the MyTown section.

Love the picture with Chewy Julie! Too bad I could not see your t-shirt. I was at Penney's Monday and noticed that they have Star Wars t-shirts. Love the Manny pic! I was thinking I should have sat there but by the time I wa thinking about it Josh had announced a sellout on that section.
So are you coming when the Cardinals are in town? Last time I checked only the 6/9 tix are available from work. they sell it to us at a nice discount. 6/8 Broxton bbh day.

drop the U
You're ENTIREly correct, and you have the spirit as well as the letter of the game fully.
The reason the thread has been so quiet lately is that it was continued to "Anagrams VIII" under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that too-long threads are unwieldy and take too long to load, and so I made it a habit to restart it after every thousand entries or so. You'll find the current iteration here.
Edit: Oops - didn't see your latest post before writing mine. Not quite as bad as "simulposting," but almost. My bad.

They say you can get almost anything at Walmart -- but the Pennsylvania Game Commission says a deer hunter took it too far.
Arcangelo Bianco Jr. is charged with reckless endangerment and hunting law violations for allegedly shooting across Old William Penn Highway to kill a 10-point buck he spotted in the store's parking lot in November.
"He got out of his vehicle with a handgun and chased this deer through the parking lot, letting off several rounds, and then he ran across Route 22 to further get the deer, then loaded it up into his car and took it to a processing plant," District Attorney Patrick Dougherty said Wednesday.
Wildlife Conservation Officer Jack Lucas told WTAE's Ashlie Hardway over the phone Wednesday that the buck was the nicest one he's seen taken in Indiana County in recent years.
Bianco's lawyer, Jason Huska, told Hardway that his client denies wrongdoing. He noted that state police initially did not file charges, but the Game Commission went back later and charged the 40-year-old man.
"I have a lot of respect for the job they (Pennsylvania state police) do. That being said, it would be irresponsible for me to comment on the job they do other than my client and I are in agreement with the decision they reached," Huska said.
"The initial call went into our emergency management 911 system. The state police was dispatched," Dougherty said. "However, once they determined that it involved a deer, the Game Commission was then dispatched to take over as the lead investigation agency."
Bianco is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 1.

Chemotherapy is not as effective in treating advanced melanoma as it is in treating some other types of cancer. However, it may slow the growth of the cancer and help to relieve some of the symptoms.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body in order to kill cancer cells. The side effects from the chemotherapy come from the fact that it destroys normal cells as well as the cancer cells.
Chemotherapy may be given either alone or along with surgery, immunotherapy medications, or radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is usually through an IV, but some forms can be given by mouth. Your medical oncologist will tell you how many cycles or courses of chemotherapy are best for you.
The most common agents used for treating melanoma are dacarbazine, temozolomide, cisplatin, and carmustine. Other agents may also be used. They may be delivered systemically or to an isolated area by perfusion techniques that introduce the drug into the main blood vessels supplying the area (usually a limb) that contains the tumor.
The side effects and amount of time required in the doctor's office depend on the type of chemotherapy you receive, as well as how many cycles you receive and how often. The most common chemotherapy-associated side effects are:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Diarrhea

Canon EF 28mm f2.8 IS USM reviewBy Ben Boswell - Wednesday January 02 2013 Lens Review
Adding to its range of image stabilised lenses Canon has brought out this new EF 28mm f2.8. 28mm is a useful focal length and while f2.8 is not very wide, the IS makes this an attractive proposition. Taking into account that this is optically pretty good too and the result is quite promising. Photographers looking for a good all round wide angle for their kit bag could do much worse.
Features and specifications
Canon's EF 28mm f2.8 IS USM is a prime lens with 9 elements in 7 groups. It is compact and lightweight, just 51.5mm long and weighing 260g. The image stabilization is rated at 4 stops (by Canon) so the maximum aperture of f2.8 is not likely to be too much of a problem. Autofocus is carried out by one of Canon's excellent USM motors. 28mm is a good focal length for landscape, architectural, reportage and various other genres of photography. Designed to cover the full frame 35mm format the lens has an equivalent focal length of 45mm when used on an APS-C camera body (Canon body, coefficient 1.6), making this a standard lens.

Further readings for the Canon EF 28mm f2.8 IS USM review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.
Added by danderegg | August 26 , 2013
Image stabilization (IS) or Extra Stops
So, most other photo forums seem to agree that the 28mm 1.8 would win over the 28mm f2.8 (IS) because of a few extra stops. But it sounds like the 28mm 2.8 (IS) has better IQ? I'm wondering because I own the 28mm 1.8, but I'm seriously considering getting the 2.8 with images stabilization because I'm shooting more video.

Powador 5300 transformerless string invertersThe Powador 5300 transformerless single-phase inverters are now equipped with digital controllers so that they can be used internationally. The appropriate country settings can easily be selected on-site; the country-specific settings are stored in the software, so the inverters can be quickly installed in any country. Users can also choose a menu language regardless of the selected country setting. The maximum PV generator power for which the particular unit is optimised can now be read from the designation.All units operate with a full bridge without a step-up converter. Four IGBT power switches reproduce the sine-shaped voltage curve of the public power grid employing pulse width modulation. These are true single-stage, self-commutated units. However, the input voltage must be greater than the peak line voltage for them to be used. The units are equipped with a wide MPP range of 350 V to 600 V. The open circuit voltage is 800 V, which simplifies the work of installers when laying out systems. The same is true for the integrated DC disconnect. In addition, the units operate using purely passive noiseless convection cooling. Download data sheet here

When bass anglers talk about successful crankbaits, you can be sure that the Norman Crankbait will be included in the discussion. These 100% American made crankbaits have been around for a long time and are proven fish catchers. We carry only the Norman Pro Edge series because they stand head and shoulders above the other baits. The Norman Crankbait features deep lustrous finishes and a huge variety of colors. The diving bill and the attitude that the bait naturally swims at, enable these lures to come through and over underwater obstructions easily.
The Norman DD22 Suspending Crankbait Series opens up new possibilities for fishing over the normal floating crankbaits. Designed to suspend at a designated water depth, in this case 15-18 ft., the DD22 Suspending Crankbait stays in the strike zone longer than the normal floating crankbait.

'Catch Me if You Can' has trouble getting airborne at Marcus Center

This is a great dish for a family dinner on a busy weeknight, because, if necessary, you can keep it warm in a covered skillet.
2 c. broccoli florets
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, sliced
½ c. frozen peas (preferably baby peas), thawed
1 c. ricotta cheese
2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. butter
¼ c. toasted slivered almonds
¼ c. finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 c. cooked rice
1 tbsp. soy sauce
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tbsp. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. pepper, or to taste
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
Dash of paprika
Put the broccoli, carrot, zucchini, and peas into a large microwave-proof dish; add about ¼ cup water. Cover and microwave on high for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. (Or cook the vegetables in a stovetop steamer.)
Meanwhile, combine the ricotta and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
Melt the butter in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the almonds are lightly browned and the onion is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and soy sauce. Use the back of a large spoon to smooth out the top of the mixture. Drop on spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Cover and reduce the heat to medium.
When the vegetables are done, drain well. Transfer them to a large bowl; stir in the tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread over the ricotta layer in the skillet. Top with the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Cover and heat until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
YIELD: 6 servings

No. 2: Develop professional relationships
Networking may be an overemphasized principle in certain situations, but there is no denying the power of professional relationships.
If you want to make yourself valuable at work, you should do your best to be a known quantity. This may be accomplished by seeking out work situations that involve other people and various departments. Or it may be as simple as making the rounds every so often in order to connect with people.
This doesn't mean that people should spend their days roaming the halls and chit-chatting instead of working. However, networking may create a situation where the employee is well liked, which can again lead to some level of sentimental attachment if several people are making decisions about staff changes.
Still, the reality is that none of this will work unless the person displays a particular personality ...
No. 1: Have a good attitude
The reality of work is that attitude matters. Some people may respect the skilled person with the strong or difficult personality. However, they will not necessarily enjoy working with him on a daily basis.
People have enough drama in their lives and they do not necessarily want to deal with co-workers who regularly create conflict or tense work situations.
While it may be difficult to manufacture a "nice" personality, that doesn't mean that people shouldn't try.
If a company is trying to decide between two people of equal skills and vocational worth, chances are they are going to make a gut decision based on personality.
Therefore, you should do your best to have a positive attitude so that you can build quality relationships with other people and continue to be perceived as a valuable asset in the organization.

A student at the Pressley Ridge school on the North Side has a slash mark from the middle of his cheek to his neck after being attacked by another student.
Shannon Grant was rushed to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC after the violent incident at lunchtime Wednesday. His mother said the 12-year-old boy is afraid to go back to school.
"My child has over 50 stitches in his face right now, could possibly live with that scar for the rest of his life, and he plays football and he's not even allowed to play the sport that he enjoys the most," said the victim's mother, Sheheda Manley.
Grant said he was throwing his food away after eating lunch when he saw a 17-year-old student and said hello. He said the teen cursed and hit him in the face with a plastic plate before beginning to beat him.
"I said what's up, hi, to the boy, and he said, 'Don't (expletive) talk to me,' and he picked up the plate and tried to hit me with it," Grant said. "I started running, and I fell, and he hopped up on me and stated punching me in my face, and I kept on bleeding."
Manley said she believes the older student has behavioral problems, and she wants to know why he was in the same lunch period as her son.
"I don't understand why or how this took place when there was a million staff around, and my child was beat almost to death for nothing," Manley said. "School is supposed to be his safe haven when he's not at home, and I feel they didn't do their job today."
Pittsburgh police said they plan to charge the 17-year-old student with aggravated assault, possibly as an adult. Manley said police told her that the suspect's mother was going to turn him in to them.
Fourteen students and seven staff members were in the school cafeteria at the time of Wednesday's incident, according to Kelley Reed, a corporate spokeswoman for Pressley Ridge. She also sent the following statement by email:
"Pressley Ridge's primary focus is to help children who face serious emotional and behavioral challenges. We are dedicated to protecting the safety, health and well-being of our children and families and the community. We, at Pressley Ridge, take situations of this nature very seriously and are deeply concerned for the welfare of all of our students at all times. Pressley Ridge is working closely with the family and Pittsburgh City Police to investigate the incident fully and determine the facts. If there are any further questions regarding this incident, individuals should contact the Pittsburgh City Police Department."

The Memphis Zoo has banned a woman it says climbed over a barrier and tried to feed cookies to the lions.
Other zoo patrons reported the unidentified woman, who was also heard singing to the animals, Memphis TV station WMC reported.
A second wire fence still separated her from the lions, but zoo officials said the woman's behavior was dangerous for her and the lions.
"Luckily the lions were spooked," zoo spokeswoman Abbey Dane told the Commercial Appeal newspaper. "She was not ever in the exhibit with the lions. Zoo staff was called immediately and she has been banned from the zoo indefinitely."
The woman won't be allowed back in the facility.

An unusual intruder got stuck inside a truck Wednesday evening in Truckee.
A baby bear somehow entered the unlocked vehicle, in the 11500 block of Saint Bernard Drive, and the door shut behind the animal, the Truckee Police Department said in a news release.
Officers arrived quickly and let the frightened bear out of the truck.
The animal left significant damage to the interior of the vehicle.
Police encourage residents to lock their cars, and advise people against keeping food inside their vehicles -- which is known to attract hungry bears in the area.
