Comments: I have wide feet and this shoe probably fits the best among all of the ones I have had. The only
problem is the durability, lasted barely 6 months. I play tennis at least 3-4 times a week on hard court. If you dont play too often I
would recommend these.
From: Sidhu, 4/13
Comments: Great shoe, no break-in required at all. Light, stable, excellent shock absorption. Have had them for 3
months, playing 10 hrs a week and no signs of wear or tear. I have a regular width foot, size 9 and the shoe fits like a glove.
Ventilation is good, not perfect, but that is to be expected with a synthetic upper. Cool designs too - I like the red. Take this
review with a grain of salt as everyone has a different foot.
From: Pietro, 4/13
Comments: Solid shoe overall. Very resistable and sturdy for the price. Provides good lateral support and is stylish
too. The only downfall is the weight being too heavy. Otherwise a reliable shoe.
From: Michal, 3/13
Comments: Great shoes. I've worn them just shy of three months now, and they've been serving me wonderfully.
The ventilation, while not the best, is sufficient for the hot conditions of my state. Traction is very good too. Durability is very
impressive. I've worn the 3.3 Court Ballistecs and while those lasted a long time, these are showing even less wear. The outsole
rubber is extremely durable! Comfort is good except after the short break-in period, which is much more forgiving than the CB's
were, the shoe's interior expands a bit much and this could be problematic for those with medium or narrow width feet. Luckily
for me, my feet are medium-wide, so they fit almost perfect with minimal sliding in the toe region. I say minimal because there
was some sliding, as I stubbed my big toe on a quick stop and this caused some momentary pain, but nothing serious by any
means. The mini support belts don't necessarily provide the perfect fit as Babolat claims, but they do help tighten the shoe
if the laces aren't doing enough. Now for the best part: aesthetics. I have the red colorway and they are the most gorgeous shoes
I've ever worn. I've gotten at least-- and I'm not exaggerating-- fifteen compliments on the shoes and how simply cool they look.
The red is unique and flashy, yet not overbearing. The design is slick and intelligent. I give my applaud to the shoe's designer.
Fantastic work! So the shoes aren't the best in any category, but all around it's quite good. I would recommend it and I would buy
them again, though I'll probably wait for the next version Propulse 4.
From: Anon, 1/13
Comments: I've been playing heavily with these shoes for a month now. First things first, one of my shoes ended
up discoloring on me (never expected that to happen). They are definitely not a "straight out of a box" playing shoe. I would
recommend breaking it in first. I found it to be a heavier shoe then I prefer. I felt good support throughout the shoe. Great
traction. They showed minimal wear, considering how many miles I have put on them. I like the straps, which add to a better fit.
Overall, I would consider buying this shoe again.
From: Willie, 1/13
Comments: I got 2 pairs of the Babolat Red, White, and Blue shoes. One for using and one as a collector's item, and
to be honest pictures do not give enough credit to these shoes. They look incredible, and not to mention they are the most
comfortable of all shoes I have played in. I have tried out the Nike Courtballistics 4.3 and they have no durability. I have a pair of
the Adidas 7.0 Barricades and they are nowhere near as nice of a shoe as the 6.0s. This shoe is my favorite of all shoes. I will only
wear Babolat shoes for the rest of my high school/college career.
From: Trevor, 10/12
Comments: This is a very comfortable shoe while still being a tennis shoe. I am 6-1, 200 pounds with
wide feet. I have tried a few different shoes (adidas barricade, Asics Gel Nimbus, and this one). These are extremely comfortable
shoes while providing the stability needed for tennis. It's an excellent shoe, and I will probably purchase them again and again.
From: S.K., 10/12
Comments: Great comfortable shoes. Word of warning though, the front white upper of one of
my white ones discolored to an awful looking yellow color after only two months (being
only one shoe it looks really stupid). It took time, not much time though, but enough to where I was out of the 30 day return
period. There's other reviews on here mentioning this issue, so it seems like a recurring product/materials fault. Be prepared
for a bit of a gamble if you buy the white ones.
From: Richard, 9/12
Comments: I bought these shoes at Christmas. I loved them and only planned to wear them at the courts but I
loved them so much that I just had to wear them everywhere. It's been a good 9ish months and I am just starting to notice some
troubles with the traction. But 9 months is the best I've gotten out of a tennis shoe yet!
From: Ryan, 9/12
Comments: Ok, by far the best shoe I've ever worn! I usually blow through shoes pretty quickly (within 6 weeks),
but I'm going on 5 months and still have plenty of tread. My only problem with this shoe is the white plastic on the top of the
shoe that has turned to a dirty yellow color. The shoe is great, they just don't look so good anymore.
From: Scott, 8/12
Comments: Ok, for anyone looking for that review that will help you switch from Nike or
adidas, this is it. I have used Nike Courtballistec 3.3's and adidas barricade 7's up until I
ordered these Propulse 3's, and I can honestly say, WOW! Nike and adidas shoes don't even
compare to these. There is literally no break in time. I laced them up out of the box and hit
the court without wearing them around first. They also weigh a fraction of any shoe I've worn
recently, allowing me to feel like I am gliding across the court, and allowing for a noticeable
increase in speed. Durability is also a major plus for these shoes simply because I tear
through shoes, and the Propulse 3's are standing up to the test, along with the 6 month
outsole warranty. Great shoe and cheaper than anything Nike or adidas has out right now.
Definitely recommended.
From: Ethan, 7/12
Comments: I bought these for my 5'6" 100lb daughter. We needed to buy
an after-market insole so that her feet wouldn't hurt after she played
in them. They wore through to those insoles after about 3 months. Now
to see if they will honor their durability warranty.
From: Steve, 7/12
Comments:I love them. Extremely comfortable with plenty of stability.
I had some adidas shoes before and my feet always hurt after playing,
but with these I don't hurt at all. Great shoes.
From: Chris, 7/12
Comments: This is, without a doubt, the best tennis shoe I have ever
worn. Great comfort, sharp design and reasonable light-weight. I play
three times a week and, after three months on hard courts, I am just
beginning to see some signs of wear, but nothing to be concerned about.
The front and heel straps contribute to a nice snug fit that keeps feet
aligned as laced up.
From: James, 7/12
Comments: I recently bought the Propulse after my Nike 3.3 CB wore out. Let me tell you, after only a
couple of weeks of wear these shoes have destroyed my feet. The naturally low shoe provided little to no protection on
my feet, leaving me with blisters and preventing me from court time. Also the outsole of the shoe is very weak and
poorly done. My Propulse currently has a huge gaping hole on the outsole from sliding after only 2 weeks of wear. The
hole on the outsole has ripped two of my socks. However these shoes do provide good arch support and comfort but
the performance is lacking greatly compared to the the Barricades and Courtballistecs.
From: Harrison, 6/12
Comments:One upside is that they are
comfortable. The downsides are that the outsole wore out in about 2 and a half months of wear. I wore these shoes 6
days a week and by the last day I wore them, there was a huge hole in the outsole. I'm not talking a little hole, I'm
talking about the top of the outsole was literally a whole and it was pink. If you play non competitively and like once a
week I would
say get them just for the comfort.
From: Christian, 6/12
Comments: This are the best tennis shoes I've ever bought, when you buy a tennis shoe you look for 3
things comfort, durability and good looks this shoe has all of those it looks so sweet babolat did such a good job they
last a long time too and also there so comfortable I've played in a lot of different tennis shoes adias but I'd these are
the best the most comfortable and durable. Best shoe out there guys and best brand to buy shoes from, great job
From: Kevin, 5/12
Comments: These are the only shoes that lasted me longer than 1 month. They lasted me 7
unfortunately... missed the warranty. But these are some of the most durable and comfortable shoes out there. Break in
is less than 30 minutes of play time and straps let you tighten the shoes in spots that laces just done cut it. If you are a
show breaker, and want some shoes that are great in support, nice on the comfort and durable for every bit of the 6
months, you found your shoe. Plus they look sweet.
From: Mike, 5/12
Comments: These shoes are very nice while they last. I ran through two pairs of them (all the way
through I might add) in less than 3 months. That said, be aware that the 6 month durability guarantee is actually a
one-pair replacement guarantee. I thought I had six months worth of shoes, but I ended up with less than half of that.
From: Taylor, 5/12
Comments: I have to say that these Propulse's are the most comfortable I have worn in a long time. I had
the new Vapors before these, and I ran through them in about a month. I got these at the end of March and already put
a hole through one of the outsoles. I think its due to the fact play six days a week for three hours at a time. At least
they have a six month warranty.
From: Nick, 4/12
Comments: I have been wearing Babolat Propulses' since their inception. I can say that this latest
incarnation is more comfortable than the previous shoes, but the uppers are softer, and your foot can move laterally. I
have a fairly wide foot, and I haven't had this happen with any other shoes. The sole is low, so this hasn't caused
concern for rolling my ankles, but I have to really tighten the laces more than I am use to doing. The biggest problem
with the shoe is durability. I am 170 lbs, and play 2-3 times a week. I wore through the sole in 2 months for the first
pair, sent them in for warranty replacement and then less than 1 month for the second pair. I keep wearing this second
pair because, I can't believe I need a new pair so soon.
From: Roy, 4/12
Comments: Great shoe, very comfortable but ripped on the inside of my left shoe during the
first week while sliding for a ball on a hard court. This isn't covered by warranty so I am out
$120. Since that fateful day I have been using my old Nike Vapors which have little to no
outsole left from hard court sliding and also have no sign of tearing on that inside left part of
the shoe. I'm not sure of it was just a bad slide and I dropped my foot too much or just a
poorly designed upper, but whatever it was the shoes are unusable because every time I slide
I rip through my sock and slice my foot.
From: Anon, 3/12
Comments: First the good. VERY comfortable. Incredibly stable with the velcro system. Sharp looks.
Wears pretty
well in general (see 'the bad' for more, however). Nice and low to the ground, a very fast shoe. Excellent traction,
almost too
good...I slide on hard courts and the traction on these was so good it wasn't as easy to slide...again, the good news is I
feared rolling an ankle, until (see 'the bad'). The bad news, however, is after using for only 2 months, the rear upper
tore away
from the plastic support when running up to cover a drop shot. This caused my ankle to roll (no injury) and me to fall
forearm and wrist). I also had a tear through the sole near the back, but it did not seem to affect play. The one silver
lining is
that Babolat VERY PROMPTLY replaced these shoes in the warranty! I must temper the above saying I wear out
Barricades in 3
months as well, so I am very hard on shoes. However, the Barricades simply wear a small hole at 3 months, these tore
away from
the upper. A big difference.
From: Steve, 3/12
Comments: By FAR the best shoe I've ever worn. Ever. This is my 3rd pair
of Propulse 3..I'm almost addicted to this! More comfort, grip, and
lighter feeling weight than any other shoes I've ever worn (even outside
of tennis)The only problem is the Michelin durability guarantee. I am a
player for my school's #1 singles spot and very aggressive. It took a
little more than one season to completely wipe off the grip on the
outsole, which is what usually happens to me, but it was more than 6
months so I couldn't replace them for free. But it is SO worth the
money. Greatest shoe I've ever worn. 10/10
From: Brandon, 3/12
Comments: I've had these shoes for 6 months, still in great durability, got to admit that they have
increased my
movement by 60%. Great feel, overall great. But just recently I've started playing singles and they're great, but the
hard stopping
and turning left and right suddenly have created problems in my toes. They have cut off about 1/2 a inch of skin of my
toe 4th
toe on the 4th side, and just recently cut the one next to my big toe. These cuts have been where the joint is on your
toe on the
top section of the toe. I really hate this since it hurts when I run. So I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. And I
only got 6
months with them.
From: Dany, 3/12
Comments: These shoes are the best when it comes to support and
durability. They provide a lot of comfort for the player and come in
three different colors. Although it says durability lasts for 6 months,
I've had this for a year and have used in both hard and clay courts. I
recommend this shoe for any player!
From: Michael, 3/12
Comments: Bought a pair of these and the first time out with them, playing doubles nonetheless, I got
blisters from them. I got the blisters at the top of the Achilles support from both shoes. It took a couple weeks before
I could
even consider wearing them again, which I did. Silly me. The second time out with them went much like the first. Now
they are in
the Goodwill donation bag. In telling my blister story to guys at my club, I found out that two others have had the
same issue
after buying these shoes. I should have asked around before getting them.
From: Lee, 3/12
Comments: To sum it up, It has all the good things from the Propulse 2 with more comfort! Nice job
From: Kevin, 3/12
Comments: Great shoes..... I play 6 days a week on clay courts. I have used these for almost 9 months
and is still in
great shape. Excellent grip and durability. That is not even the best part, this shoe fits like a glove with the strap and is
flexible. My movement on court has almost improved by 30%. These are the best shoes I have tried so far.
From: Skankar, 3/12
Comments: These shoes are superb! Only the narrowest of feet would find
the forefoot too wide. I have moderately narrow feet with a moderately
high arch and these fit perfectly, glove-like. They're a BIG improvement
over the the previous model, which I own, in EVERY way. On the previous
models in-soles were a must, not with these. I haven't had them very
long but I'm sure they'll be as durable as the previous model. Don't be
fooled by the apparently flimsy look. After two tries Babolat finally has a HR
shoe to compete with the big boys.
From: JPR, 3/12
Comments: I buy the shoes for tennis and they very comfortable. I recommend the
shoes to all the tennis player out there.
From: Hans, 3/12
Comments: I like these shoes a lot. When I first tried them on, they were perfectly snug, supportive, and
fit my foot
very well. I have been wearing nike vapor 7 and 8, and new balance ct 1003 and 1004. These are narrower than the
nb's and have
broken in a bit wider than the vapors. Still better than the nike cb's and 2k11s after 15 hrs of court time.
From: George, 2/12
Comments: Best shoe ever, BUT 6 month durability? Get out of town. I bought them abroad so I can't
ask for my
money back, on slow courts using them 5 days a week, maximum 3 month, actually just 2.5 month. But I'll buy them
again just
because they fit me perfectly and aren't heavy.
From: Fab, 1/12
Comments:These are great feeling shoes. The only problem is the low durability. All in all the shoe with
warranty is ok.
From: Anon, 12/11
Comments: Do you wan't a shoe for a wider foot and a shoe that gives you awesome
support. Do you want a shoe that makes you incredibly close to the
ground, giving you a better feel to the court? Do you want a comfortable
shoe? Do you want a stylish shoe? Do you want a durable shoe? If you
want a shoe with all of these characteristics this is the perfect shoe,
especially for support with top of the line straps.
From: David, 11/11
Comments: Alright, folks - best shoe ever, hands down (based on my foot). Key thing to remember is
that one
person's experience with a shoe might be a complete 180-degree turn from the next person. Height, weight, skill level,
conditions, aggressive style vs. conservative - all these factors can affect the overall experience with a shoe. I'm a 6'0"
player with a wide foot that gets more narrow towards the heel, so these shoes fit like an absolute glove and my feet
were begging
me to not take them off - I could wear them all day, every day, baby! These shoes required zero break-in time, cinched
up tightly
with the straps - exactly like strapping your foot into a form-fitted ski boot or a rollerblade and blazing down the trail.
Or like
Marty McFly's shoes in Back to the Future that adjusted perfectly to his own feet - come on, everybody, we all
remember how cool
that was. This shoe actually made me excited to get out and play. Incredible surface feedback from such close contact
with the
court, very light and maneuverable, great lateral support with all movements, and zero sign of wear after an aggressive
practice session last night. Plus they look so hot that now my son wants a pair so he can be just like his dad (ok, he
wants to be
like Andy Roddick). I have a high arch, but used arch supports to fill any gap. Again, this is the perfect shoe for my foot
type and
playing style, so congrats Babolat, you've won another happy customer!
From: Nate, 11/11
Comments: Bought the Propulse 2's and loved them. I don't play too much so they lasted about 3
months and then
the toe cap started to peel away from the shoe. Tennis Warehouse took care of me and sent me the newer Propulse 3,
looked way
comfortable but way to much width in the front! I'm sliding around in these things.
From: Luke, 11/11
Comments: This shoe fits like a glove right out of the box. It is a incredibly stable
shoe, and surprisingly light considering it's slightly bulky appearance.
I highly recommended.
From: Matt, 9/11
Comments: These are great shoes. They have a glove like fit. Not only does it look great but has super
It is a must buy.
From: Anon, 9/11
Comments: This shoe was great. Great speed and movement but I wore completely
through them in about 3 weeks
From: Robert. 9/11
Comments: I bought them for indoor and outdoor racquetball. So far they feel great, but I am having
problems with
blisters on the back of the right shoe. However, there is no sign of blisters on the left one. I would buy them again!
From: Steve, 9/11
Comments: I bought my son a pair in March 2011. He wore through the sides and sole with 2 1/2
months. Tennis
Warehouse replaced for free and the second pair have the soles worn out and the side has a huge hole. I am very
disappointed and
will not purchase again.
From: Dee, 9/11
Comments: This is a great shoe! Perfect for customization and it looks great. There is good cushion and
weight. For those with wide forefoot and narrow heel, shop no further! By the way, Tennis Warehouse is the best place
to buy
From: Kai, 8/11
Comments:This shoe is very comfortable except for the fact that when the court is hot, so are your feet! I
had my
first pair for three weeks before I wore through the outsole and sent them back for the six month warranty. The shoe
offers a very
low ride to the court though and it really locks your foot in.
From: Hunter, 7/11
Comments: I have worn these shoes for 2 months, and I love them very much! They are very good
looking and
comfortable shoes and the traction is great. I have wide feet and the shoes are just perfectly fit me thanks to the top
strap design.
This is my first time wearing Babolat shoes, and I will highly recommend to any tennis lover!
From: Alvin, 7/11
Comments: I've worn these shoes for a couple of weeks and the traction is shot. I'm sliding like I'm on
ice when I'm
actually on a hard court. Also the shock to the balls of your feet when you push off hard or land hard is unacceptable.
They feel
very comfortable for walking around, but any high level player should stay away!
From: Chris, 7/11
Comments: This is a great shoe! I've been using these for about 6 months playing 2 to 3 hours a day and
traction is still on the shoe. I have also worn these to 2 different tournaments in that time.
From: Brett. 07/11
Comments: I am not a fan of the Propulse 3. My feet and knees hurt after playing on hard courts. They
also wore
out quickly and the stability isn't great. If you are looking for a comfortable and durable shoe look elsewhere.
From: Brooks. 07/11
Comments: Just purchased these shoes as a graduation gift for my grandson, he
was very happy with their looks and thought they were awesome, then
he wore them for the first time and when he was tightening the straps
one of them broke. He was very disappointed and I was not a happy
camper. I am returning them for a replacement pair and hoping
this will not happen again.
From: Sandie. 7/11
Comments: The upper is way too soft. It'll feel like you're wearing slippers on the court. Stay away from
these soft,
plastic shoes!
From: John. 7/11
Comments: I absolutely love these shoes. LOVE THEM! It amazes me that they can feel so snug and
secure - like
you're locked into a ski binding or something - and yet, still be so comfortable. I've had them for about 5 months now
and haven't
had any durability issues at all. As long as Babolat makes these shoes, I will be wearing these shoes. Well done Babolat!
From: Kevin, Severna Park, MD, USA, 7/11
Comments: First off let me say I have never used a more comfortable shoe I can remember. (I have used
a pair of
Asics before so thats saying a lot!) But the soles are not durable at all when it took me 3 months to wear through the
Asics Gel
Challenger 8 but I blew through these in a month. Although if you don't play as much then these shoes are alright
because I clock
in at least 2-3 hours a day.
From: Josh, Orange County, California, 7/11
Comments: Great shoe! Great support, ventilation (no more smelly socks) and comfort. The sole is on a
soft side
and if one plays often on hard courts it will wear out before warranty expires. Babolat is outstanding on handling
warranty issues
- just pack the shoes with worn outsoles, receipt and a warranty card and send it to the address on the card and about
2 weeks
later they will send you a brand new pair of shoes. Perfection :)!
From: ALY. 6/11
Comments: My children just bought me the Babolat Propulse 3 Red Shoes for Father's Day. I wore them
today at
team practice. I'm 50 years old, USTA rating of 4.0+, 6'3" @ 200 lbs, and a loyal Adidas Barricade V user. Let me tell
you the facts
- Babolat makes the best shoe on the market today. I cannot speak about durability, however this is the lightest, most
comfortable, and handsome shoe on the market. Traction and stability are excellent. I've got a wide foot, 2E, and I had
no trouble
wearing the shoes right out of the box. I had a great
Father's Day! I recommend that you buy as many pairs as you can, before the company makes a change!
From: Ken. 6/11
Comments: I like this shoe. I think they are way more comfortable than the Propulse 2. They are wider in
the front
part and softer.
From: Marco. 6/11
Comments: Great shoes, but like the old one the durability is low. It took me
about 3 months to wear out.
From: Leong. 6/11
Comments: These shoes are amazing!!! They are very comfortable and are great for people who have
wide feet like
myself. The toe guard is great for people who have ingrown toenails because its doesn't rub on the toe. Highly
shoe. YOU WILL LOVE IT!
From: Kahil. 6/11
Comments: These really are great shoes. They're kind of hard to get on though. I have only had them
about 1 week
so I cant really comment on the durability. It's a pretty comfortable shoe. The upper is so soft to the point that I feel
that it
sometimes lacks support. I don't feel like I would ever roll an ankle. I got my regular size and they feel pretty good,
maybe a little
bit on the small side but great if you have a wide foot because the toe box is pretty wide.
From: Alex. 5/11
Comments: These kicks rock! They look really fresh, and they perform like monsters. They are light, ride
low to the
ground, and the straps add the extra bit of comfort. The soles are really durable (Michelin rubber). It also comes with a
6 month
From: Joey. 5/11
Comments: There pretty good shoes. There really light and comfortable and have very little break in
time. The
problem I have with them is that they aren't durable at all. I'm in high school and I've had these shoes for only like 2
months and
the sole is already tearing at where my toe usual is. However, thanks to the 6 month guarantee, I can get a new pair
once the sole
gets torn up. I'd give the shoes a B-.
From: Ben. 5/11
Comments: It's the best shoe I have ever worn. They are very light. They are not as sticky as my
Barricades but don't
reallly slip much at all. They are so comfortable and they look amazing. I want to buy ten pairs now so I don't have to
find a new
shoe ever.
From: Joe, USA. 5/11
Comments: These shoes are very comfortable and low to the ground. Some may not like the extreme
flexibility of
the upper, which may seem like it has less lateral support. For me, I like the softer upper which prevents black toes
attributed to harder or less forgiving uppers like the Barricade 6. If you get the right size and tighten the foot belt, you
have not issue with lateral support. It feels a lot lighter than its listed weight. Traction is great. If you play 10+ a week,
you will
definitely wear the soles out before the 6 month warranty.
From: Dave, Irvine, Ca, USA. 5/11
Comments: Previously I wore Asics Gel Resolution 2s and Adidas Barricade 5s and I can say that I love
the Propulse
3s the best. The Resolution 2s were light, but not very durable. The Barricade 5s were sturdy, but heavy. The Propulse
3s brought
the best out of the other two and has great traction on the court. The shoes did not require any break-in period and I
many compliments for the hot red color, like a sports car. I do agree that if you have a wide foot like myself, you
should go a half
size bigger than what you normally wear.
From: Ray, Carlsbad, CA, USA. 5/11
Comments: These shoes look great, and I have used Propulse's ever since the originals were out.
However this
style seems to stray away from the tight, sock fitting feel that you got with the previous version. I thought at first that
they just
needed to be broken in, but unfortunately not the case, as after playing tennis for an hour my feet were aching. Too
room in the toe box and too wide.
From: Nick, MN, USA, 4/11
Comments: Amazing dynamite shoe. It looks great, feels great, and can be truly game changing.
From: John, IN, USA, 03/11
Comments: I have never worn Babolat shoes before. Nike for 8 years and Adidas Barricade 2, 4, 5, and
6s for the
past 7 years. As a Babolat player, I tried them and they feel extremely good. I sometimes get a little pain the top of my
right foot
and the velcro "belt" allows me to tighten the fit of the shoe without having to lace them up to much. Kind of like a
custom fit
shoe for most everyone. It has a wider toe box which might not be the best for some, but with the custom fit features
this shoe
works great. I am on clay half of the time so I am not yet sure of the durability-I've only had them for a month and
they show very
little wear so far. I get a lot of comments from everyone about how they look! Would really like to see a black
version...Great work
From: T, NC, USA, 03/11
Comments: I love these shoes, they are extremely light and you don't even need to break them in. I had
the Adidas
Barricade 6.0's which were extremely stiff and heavy so these were quite the transition. I felt that these boosted my
game due to
the increased mobility. I had heard that other Babolat shoes were a 1/2 size smaller than other shoes but that is NOT
the case
with these shoes at all; order your regular shoe size unless you wear ankle braces like I do. Overall I give them a 10 out
of 10.
Babolat has made a fantastic product here.
From: Trevor, Phelan, CA, USA, 03/11
Comments: I bought these shoes less than a month ago, I play college tennis and I was surprised that
they were
totally worn out after less than a month, plus I made a huge hole on the side of the shoe, this is a really nice shoe,
and good grip while playing, but if you wanna spend some cash for using them for a month or so, is up to you.
From: Bruno, Pueblo, CO, USA, 03/11
Comments: This is a great shoe, great color, and is best on the market for comfort and style. I have
ankle issues
the shoe made a tremendous difference after my matches and cut down my recovery in half. Babolat did a great job.
From: Steve, Dallas, TX, USA 3/11
Comments: These shoes are awesome if you only want to wear them 3 weeks. That's how long
they lasted. I won't be getting another pair.
From: Mike, Cedar Rapids, IA. 3/11
(Mike, if you went through your original pair of shoes before 6 months, you can take advantage of the durability guarantee for another pair of shoes. If you have questions, please check our Customer Service link for more information or give us a call at 800-883-6647. -- TW Staff)
Comments: The shoes are not reliable for people who slide and dash to every shot. The shoe straps
broke off and
the tread on the bottom of the shoe did not last long at all. My type of playing (fast and aggressive) is not meant for
these shoes.
The appearance of the shoe is great and the feel is great, but the durability is not so great. I have already sent these
back and got
myself a pair of Court Ballistecs.
From: Thomas, St. George, UT. 3/11
Comments: I love this shoe. I played for an hour and a half every day, yet I see no wear and tear. The
only problem I
see with this shoe is the grip, I tend to play an aggressive power game, and going left and right I tend to slide a bit too
running really fast, a bit of a problem with the back of my foot. Three hours of tennis you will be feeling the squeezing
with the
straps in the back squeezing together. Looks almost a little too "fake" with the textures and the clear plastic on the
sides. All I can
say is that Babolat needs to fix the grip.
From: Jack, 3/11
Comments: I just recently got these shoes but they are the most amazing, comfortable, and light shoes!!
The only
problem is the backs of the shoes tend to dig into my heel but that is no big problem.... Great job Babolat!
From: Tyler, 03/11
Comments: I love these shoes style speed and comfort I think Babolat shoes tend to run a 1/2 size small
but I knew this already I used to have the Babolat all-court team and I learned the sizing issue.
From: Frankie, Flushing, NY, USA, 03/11
Comments: GREAT SHOE!! Wore the Propulse 1 and loved them other than a tad bit narrow (never tried
propulse2). The Propulse 3 is wider and roomier than the previous model, which I like. I did go up in size from a 10.5
to an 11.
These shoes are NOT STIFF at all unlike other shoes ex. barricade 6.0, which I could not wear. Truly a glove-like fit. I
give the
shoe a 9/10 only because the clear grey plastic part on the back of the shoe above the straps can hit my ankle at times.
Also the
back of the shoe looks like 2 fangs digging into my ankle at time. Possibly because there are 2 seams back there that
are pretty
rigid. I'm used to Nikes super padding where the ankle is where as the Propulse are a bit lacking in that area. I'm sure
thick socks will help out or longer socks will help I was wearing crew Nike socks. It can be annoying during long hours
of play. I
had small imprints on the back of my ankle after 3hrs of play. Don't let this hesitate you on getting them as this is my
with them, and I haven't seen anyone else complain about this issue. Other than this small issue I will continue to get
this shoe
until Propulse 4 come out.
From: Oliver Lee, Virginia Beach, VA, USA, 03/11
Comments: These shoes look like Indy cars on my feet and they perform that way too! The best shoe I
have owned
and I have owned plenty; every 3-4 months I wear through a pair. Now all the kids at the club are getting them too.
Vamos! Yeah I
know Nadal doesn't where these...but he should!
From: Rex, Granite Bay, CA, USA, 03/11
Comments: These shoes are awesome, need no break-in. I feel these are the best pair ever!
From: James, Chia-Yi, Taiwan, 02/11
Comments: These shoes are spectacular. BUT, beware of the sizing. I wear a 11.5 in the Courtballistec
line of shoe
and so I ordered these in an 11.5; my toes were touching the end of the shoe. Had to send back for a size 12.0. I would
recommend getting this shoe in half a size larger than you normally wear unless you are used to the Babolat sizing.
great shoe!
From: Aubrey, Carrollton, GA, USA, 02/11
Update: Well I had posted that these run a half size small BUT, upon receiving the larger size, I realized that these DO NOT RUN SMALL. They just have a different fit than the Nike line that I'm not used to. When laced up, they are pretty much the same length because they are a bit wider than the Nike CourtBallistics as well (but not by much at all). So I would advise to try these on first if you can. But if not, get your usual size!
Comments: These shoes are amazing I have had the best comfort wearing these shoes after the
barricades hurt my
feet a lot. With these shoes it's an awesome pair; darn good job Babolat keep it up keep on making awesome shoes
like that.
From: Ranbir, Mumbai, India, 02/11
Comments: This is my third pair of Propulse shoes and they are by far the best shoe I have ever worn.
Straight out
of the box and into a pretty decent tennis match and they were just perfect. No break-in time required. Light and
Provides great support. You done good Babolat!
From: Kevin, Charleston, SC, USA, 02/11
Comments: PERFECT SHOE! Probably the best shoe I have ever used! I did not feel the need to break
them in. I have
a fairly wide foot with a low arch and I went from box to the court, literally. 3 hours of play and I loved every step!
From: SHEA, Homeland, CA, USA, 02/11
Comments: Babolat... Great job! Ok let's make this quick and easy. So Babolat achieved perfect comfort,
and traction. I mean the straps work perfectly, I mean you don't even have to use the laces. These will fit perfectly no
whether your feet are narrow or wide...There is a small downside on these shoes, they do require a 3 day break in
period or 12
hours of consistent playing, just a quick little tip, when you first wear the shoes the heel area of the shoes will be a very
stiff, this
does get more comfortable...I think Babolat priced these to compete with Nike and Adidas, BUT these are just as good,
I've tried
both and these are my favorite so far. Great shoe, Great price, Great Brand, Great Job.
From: Shane, Santa Cruz, CA, USA, 02/11
Comments: In response to Alex's comments, anyone who buys these should break them in first. I've
bought all
three generations, and each one has required a day or two of walking around to break them in, I would advise wearing
around the house for a couple days and then the should be court ready.
From: Kristian, Chicago, IL, USA, 02/11
Comments: This is the first Babolat shoes I have purchased. First impression was they are a really good
shoe. As soon as I put them on my feet I knew they were going to work out. First time with them on I played for 3.5
hours and
my feet were mad at me when I took them off. I have worn the Nike Ballistics in years past, but was not happy with the
short toe
box. I have a narrow foot so Nike shoes tend to be my best option. I now know what my feet have been missing all
these years. I
might be one of the only ones though that went with the white version instead of the red. My only concern before
buying these is
that the all white would show dirt/clay too quick and they would appear old after a short period of time. The great
thing about
these is they are almost wrapped in a rubber casing that cleans easily. The straps on these shoes almost make you feel
like you
are securing your feet into a custom fit shoe. I highly suggest these for anyone looking for some new shoes!!
From: Jason, Spartanburg, SC, USA, 02/11
Comments: Coming from Nike's Air Oscillates, I didn't quite know what to expect. I read reviews of the
Propulse 2s and how the heel was disproportional to the forefoot, which put strain on the Achilles tendon; thus a lot of
customer reviews said they got sore legs after sessions. This was not the case for me with the Propulse 3s.
From my first experiences of the shoe, the cushioning is very plush, toebox is very roomy, the cell shield at the forefoot is very flexible with adequate breathability, and the traction is quite good; I tested them out on a dusty floor of a studio with very minimal slippage. The straps really do lock you in and it is something you can noticeably feel.
My only complaint with be that the plastic 'cup' that wraps around the heel rides a little too high on the inside of the tendons, which jabs into the tendon when you stretch out your leg to the side. But I believe the stiffness of the plastic should wear down the more you use the shoe. All in all, my comments generally agree with Jeff's below mine, aside from our opinions of the cushioning.
From: Linh, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 02/11
Comments:First Impressions - these are very sleek and flashy shoes. Lots of shiny plastic bits and
shaped to encase
your foot like an exotic sports car. The synthetic mesh in the toebox is very flexible and allows for decent ventilation.
But adidas
Barricade & Genius wearers take note, this shoe is much roomier in the toebox. I'm practically swimming in them even
though I'm
good with the length of the shoe. The straps do allow you to anchor your feet in. I don't particularly like the bit of fabric
used the
join the center of heel counter (the fabric looks cheap and applied as an afterthought).
On the court: The shoes felt lighter than the specs indicate. Very maneuverable and better then average traction on hard courts. The shoes allowed for stable mobility both laterally and also during sprints to the net. The cushioning however was a far different experience. After a set of a hours of doubles, blisters were forming on the ball of both feet. I'm 5'11" / 165lbs and wear Thorlo tennis socks so that lack of decent cushioning was a huge disappointment!! The cuff above the heel counter also pinches and chaffs if you adjust the straps tightly for maximum stability.
Post match: After 6 hours of wear, there was little sign of wear to the outsole but the clear gray plastic on the inside heel counter appeared to have lost its structural integrity. It now bows out and has begun to turn opaque like plastic often does when you bend it back and forth repeatedly. I give this component another two weeks before it completely fails.
Overall: Sleek aggressive shoe, low to the ground, stable, and grippy. But inadequate cushioning. I'm going to buy premium insoles if I plan to keep wearing these shoes. Some design flaws but also some well thought out features.
Grade: B-
From: Jeff, San Diego, CA, USA, 02/11
Comments: The best version of the Propulse series yet! The color is just awesome, and the ventilation is
No break in period, just put them on and start playing. Very comfortable shoe. Ankle support in excellent and traction
is great,
so what more do I have left to say?
From: Anthony, West Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA, 02/11
Comments: Love these shoes they are cool and comfortable.
From: Jose, Fecham, CA, USA, 2/11
Comments: These are not only the coolest looking shoes I have ever owned; they are very comfortable
and perform
very well! Vamos!
From: Rex, Granite Bay, CA, USA, 02/11
Comments: LOVE THESE SHOES!! These are my first Propulses and I didn't know what to expect. I've had
shoe before and loved them though. My first though when I got them was that they were going to be too bulky but
after running
around they're amazing. It took time to get used to how "boxy" they were but I'm happy if that's going to prevent
rolling my ankle.
Comfort is 9/10 sexiness is 20/10 lol..the mesh front on the shoes makes them very flexible and comforting.
From: Ryan, Bowie, MD, USA, 02/11
Comments: Please provide a TW Review, and a TW Review video.

text: This Experience puremantra posted:10/7/2011 8:13:26 PM Hello I'm new to this site and though I'm very much an explorer in such with astral projection. I had an event last night that is wonderful and abit troubling.I woke up in my bed at 12:00 A.M.Sat up and streached. I took a drink of water that I leave on the side of my bed everynight.Stood up and walked down my creeking stairs, from my bedroom. (My house is 85 years old, so it has its autumn moments.)Sat down on my couch and then it happen.It was like my eyes opened up though my eyes where already open.I felt extremely out of it and even though I knew my surroundings, I had no idea how to explain to myself what happened. There was a black spot in my view and I just couldn't bring myself to focus.I stood up and walked upstairs and laid back down into to bed. I looked to my wife and woke her up and asked her about what time I had went to bed.She had told that I had fallen to sleep on the couch downstairs and she tried to wake me up three times. ( I wake at 4:30 A.M. to go to work.) She couldn't wake me up and went to bed.So none the less here I am.Excited for the next experience, though anxious.Take care._K Atzantiel posted:10/10/2011 1:17:26 AM Do you have any history of sleep walking or sleep deprivation or fatuiged more than usual? wavygravy7 posted:10/15/2011 3:19:21 AM I would have to have more details but it's sounds like it could be medical.If it happens again I would go get looked at by a doctor to rule that out.puremantra posted:10/17/2011 5:57:16 PM In Reply To:wavygravy7 posted:10/15/2011 3:19:21 AM I would have to have more details but it's sounds like it could be medical.If it happens again I would go get looked at by a doctor to rule that out.So sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to my post. I've never been through this before, and to the respond from wavygravy27, it wasn't like I was drunk or on anything. I woke up in my bed and took a drink if water and went down stairs and sat down on my couch. The second I sat down it was like my eyes opened but they were open. I could see just fine in the dark.Also after waking my wife up when I went back upstairs, I had asked her "what time had I fallen to sleep in bed?" her reply was "you fell asleep downstairs on the couch and you just came up to bed."I know it could've been medical though I've never had slept walked and I pay attention to my health to some level.I'm just feeling abit lost because I myself havn't been through this before.I started thinking that it might be from the excersises I've been doing to astral project. Is it possible that I've preformed it correctly and this is the result of my excersises plus meditation.I was hoping to find something here on this site because I've been here for sometime, though not posting anything.I'm just feeling that there is something more to this, because I had an eye exam today and said something to the eye doctor and they found nothing.I here to listen.JOSMAN087 posted:10/18/2011 7:19:21 AM i have had dreams like this, where i thought i was doing my normal routine but turned out i was still asleep. Lucid dreams are like that when u realize its a dream u wll remember it for a long time.landon posted:10/18/2011 2:07:55 PM i used to have dreams where i would wake up and i wouldn't be able to move my body. my intire being , and i say being cuz it felt internal and external at the same time, felt that od sensation you get when you yawn mixed with the feeling you get when your leg falls asleep. as i said i wouldnt be able to move just look around and then i would fall back asleep ...one time this happend to me all day long. this stopped happening to me but i still have never understood what was happening to meLincolnGenghis posted:10/19/2011 5:15:15 PM You should look up sleep paralysis. Its kind of the opposite of sleep walking. There is a disconnect that is suppose to happen when people go to sleep.Your body is suppose to go into kind of a form of paralysis when you are deep asleep dreaming, its a safety feature that is suppose to be built into most of us. The easiest way to kind of explain sleep paralysis is that it is kind of a glitch. you wake up while your body is for lack of a better term still offline. In sleep walking which is a hell of allot more dangerous that disconnect did not happen and your body can move while you are sound asleep. I never had sleep paralysis before but I think that is because I fall into the sleep walking catagory. The sleep paralysis does scare the crap out of prople when it happens because they don't know whats going on and they can't move.landon posted:10/20/2011 1:47:27 PM hey thanks!!! it stopped as i said but i always pinnind it as astral projection or something.. looks like i was far off the mark. :) LincolnGenghis posted:10/20/2011 3:41:31 PM Well I think if you talk to some of the people here that get into meditation, OBEs, astral projection (Not really my thing) they might tell you that being able to control that connect/disconnect is sort a componant of astral projection. I think, at least from what little I understand about it. I know Jeff has written quite a bit aboout the subject so you might want to check out some of the articles he has written on the site. He also has a book available that looks interesting, I have not had a chance to read it yet but it is on my to do list. Please log in or become a member to add a post.

Contact: Nancy Dunker, associate director of public relations, 630-637-5306
Feb. 18, 2011—North Central College presents "Explore the Sound III," a Feb. 23 concert that invites listeners to hear several of the College's choral and instrumental ensembles and discover the stunning acoustics of Wentz Concert Hall.
Ensembles will perform in every possible location—from the side balconies, aisles, sound chambers, side stairways, loft, stage and more. "Explore the Sound III" will take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, in Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Tickets are $5/adults, $3/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
The program will feature the College's 45-voice Women's Chorale and the 17-voice mixed Chamber Singers—both under the direction of Ramona Wis, Mimi Rolland Professor in the Fine Arts, professor and chair of music—and the 55-voice Cardinal Chorus, under the direction of Jacqueline Schutt.
These choral ensembles are joined by the Flute Choir, directed by Marie Bennett; the String Ensemble, directed by Mara Gallagher; and piano selections by faculty members Barbara Vanderwall and Jon Warfel. Additional guests are faculty member Dan O'Connell on french horn and students Brian Riordan and Tayor Martin on percussion.
"The focus of Explore the Sound is a seamless performance of a wide variety of choral and instrumental music, performed from virtually every nook and cranny in Wentz Concert Hall," Wis says. "With theatrical lighting and unusual staging, Explore the Sound is more of a sound and visual experience than a traditional concert."
Highlights of this year's program include a performance of H. Garrett Phillips' "Odysseus and the Sirens," a mostly wordless piece with the feel of a film score evoking the mythological story of the sirens of the sea that lured sailors to their death; Marcos Leite's "Tres Cantos Nativos," using voices and body percussion to depict tropical sounds; "Jai, Ho!" featured in the film "Slumdog Millionaire"; "Toccata," an original commission written for the String Ensemble by visiting composer-in-residence Dmitry Yanov-Yanovsky; and "Forest Pipings" for Flute Choir, designed to be performed surrounding the audience.
North Central College offers undergraduate programs of study in music, jazz studies and music education in choral and instrumental. Students take a combination of core music classes, private lessons, ensembles and other classes suited to their area of specialization or interest. For more information about the College's music program visit northcentralcollege.edu/music.
North Central College's 2010-2011 Sesquicentennial Fine & Performing Arts Season is supported by a generous grant from the Illinois Arts Council. USG Corporation and Navistar, Inc. are underwriting sponsors. This performance is one of many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. North Central offers a variety of venues accommodating a rich range of local and world-class events, performances and space needs for the public.

Palm Beach Money
Tag: think before investing in FB
Before taking Zuckerberg's FB advice better think twice or thrice
- 8:33 pm Saturday, September 15th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
I've always thought Facebook's IPO of $38 per share was absolutely ridiculous. So much so that it had to have been decided upon by those suffering from a version of the brain numbing mad cow disease that somehow made its way into the minds of way too young investment bankers, entrepreneurs and the overly exuberant all high on expectations but short on long-term Wall Street experience. Therefore, it came as no surprise to me that FB's per share price volleyed to a high of $45 and then to a low of 17 and change since going public in May.
That said, [More]

Hawaii's budget has more than $2 billion worth of federally-funded programs including Medicaid, subsidized lunches and education programs, just to name a few.
State officials say there's no reduction in programs that are federally funded right now. But, they're carefully monitoring the impact the federal government shutdown could have on the state budget.
"Each department director at [Thursday's] emergency cabinet meeting has been tasked with assessing the impact of the shutdown on their federally-funded programs and positions," said Actin Governor Shan Tsutsui. "It is going to take some time to fully understand the true fiscal and social impact on our state."
State officials are concerned the state won't be reimbursed since it uses state money for some of the programs up front. Department of Budget and Finance Director Kalbert young says in the storm term, it won't be as much of an impact.
"We are critically worried how long the shutdown lasts and whether state will be made whole -- reimbursed from federal government once feds are reinstated," said Young.
State officials say they do not have any immediate financial figures on the impact of the shutdown, but hey have asked all department directors for assessments and plan to meet next week.
Federal employees who are unemployed due to the government shutdown may apply for unemployment insurance benefits. However, if Congress ultimately acts to retroactively pay federal employees that were furloughed, then those employees will likely be required to reimburse the state for benefits received.
"We empathize with federal workers who are unable to work at this time through no fault of their own, especially given the uncertainty of the duration of the shutdown," said Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Director Dwight Takamine. "All federal workers eligible for benefits need to consider their own circumstances carefully in deciding whether to apply for benefits. If individuals do apply for benefits, we highly recommend they file online to avoid long wait times on the telephone or at local offices."
To apply for benefits online visit http://uiclaims.hawaii.gov from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m,, Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends and holidays. People can also call Hawaii Teleclaims at 643-5555 from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations has created a page on its website where furloughed workers can go for more information. The webiste address is: http://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/federal-shutdown-unemployment-benefits-for-furloughed-workers/
To apply for benefits, furloughed federal workers will need to provide:
• Personal information such as social security number, address, and date of birth.
• Employment information such as employer's name, location, and the address of your payroll office.
• Proof of employment and wages to establish monetary entitlement. Make copies of SF8 and SF50 (if available), earnings and leave statement for the one-year period prior to 10/1/13, W-2 for 2012, and furlough notice to give to the UI office for their records. These documents can be delivered mailed, faxed or emailed to the local claims office. Go to http://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/contact/ for contact information.
The DLIR's Research and Statistics Office estimates that there are approximately 9,000 non-defense, federal employees in Hawaii, although it is unknown how many of those are considered essential by their agency and still working.

Q Our child has autism. Should we encourage him to play with other children? Is it better for him to play with other autistic children or with non-autistic children?
A This is a complex question. The overall approach should be individualized and decided ideally in consultation with your child's treatment team. It will depend on the child's level of functioning and his verbal and social abilities, as well the other children involved.
As a general rule, children with autism are encouraged to play with other children. It is best to start with a playdate with only one other child, in a controlled and familiar environment such as the home. Too many children around could be overwhelming and distracting. Parents should closely supervise the play, be on hand to facilitate social interaction if needed, and afterwards, review the activity with their child and provide feedback on his/her efforts.
You might also consider setting up a playdate between two children with autism and assess how they interact and if they get along. Again, that activity should be closely supervised by an adult, and you should discuss it beforehand with your child's treatment team. Remember that it takes a lot of practice and coaching for children with autism to be successful in their play activities, and parents should not be discouraged.

While traveling to the Netherlands last month to explore Inside Design Amsterdam, I had the opportunity to stay at the stunning Lloyd Hotel. The hotel's historical building dates back to the '20s, and while it oozes with inherent old world charm, it's also filled with an eclectic mix of gorgeous antiques and edgy modernism - all created by a well-curated mix of Dutch designers and artists. The hotel also embraces the innovative concept of offering a variety of rooms for every budget - from cleverly efficient one-star options to the more fantastical five-star spaces. Either way, every guest can enjoy the hotel's democratic decor, scrumptious restaurant and bar, alfresco dining space, free WiFi, and close proximity to the central station and city center.

Changing the paradigmJanuary 08,2013
Colleges around the country are beginning to consider whether they ought to divest themselves of stocks in companies that produce fossil fuels. That includes Middlebury College, which is responding to the earnest prodding of activist Bill McKibben and students looking for ways to address the problem of climate change.
ExxonMobil is not likely to quake at the idea that a small New England college might dump a few shares of its stock, nor would the companys stock price be likely to feel any tremors. But the new divestment movement represents the crystallization of an important idea: that the exploitation and consumption of fossil fuel threaten the planet. It calls into question the entire raison detre of ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies.
Around the edges of the climate question, people are taking steps switching to efficient light bulbs, buying efficient cars, sealing up their houses. These are all important steps that slow the consumption of energy, crucial for curbing the production of greenhouse gases. But gliding, rather than plummeting, toward climate disaster does not solve the problem.
The energy companies are still in the business of producing oil and coal, and whether it is consumed at a rapid pace or at a slightly less rapid pace, the problem is the oil and coal. For example, Canada is exploiting the oil trapped in tar sands in Alberta, a quantity of oil that is said to equal the reserves in Saudi Arabia. NASA scientist Jim Hansen, one of the worlds leading experts on climate change, has said that if carbon from the Canadian tar sands is dumped into the atmosphere, then it is game over for the climate.
It is not a question of insulating our houses so we dont burn oil so quickly. It is a question of not burning the oil. Ultimately, the way to avert climate disaster is to leave the oil in the ground. The same goes for coal.
It is easy to say that we should not burn coal or oil. But vast economic interests depend on those fuels. Driving through the Midwest, one encounters seemingly endless freight trains transporting endless quantities of coal to towering mountains of fuel at numerous coal-burning power plants. This is a reality far removed from Vermont with its burgeoning number of solar projects and wind towers and its efficient hydropower. Driving to any urban area, one encounters oceans of automobiles choking the freeways and consuming vast oceans of petroleum. None of this is going to be reversed by the investment decisions of a few colleges.
But paradigms shift. The movement to divest of stock in companies doing business in South Africa was derided as ineffectual and naive, but in the end it helped to cast the apartheid government of South Africa as an outlaw. Similarly, a more broadly held belief that investment in fossil fuel companies is not socially responsible would change the atmosphere.
The spigot will not be turned off in an instant, and there would be economic chaos if it were to be. Thus, development of technologies to minimize the harm of fossil fuels is worth pursuing. Meanwhile, efforts to call attention to the tentacular reach of the fossil fuel industry also expose the dimension of the problem.
For example, a pipeline reaching from Maine to Montreal, across northern Vermont, has become a concern for activists because they fear it will be used to transport tar sands oil from Montreal to Maine. Environmentalists worry that the pipeline might be subject to spills, but the real concern is the oil itself. If the primary aim is to keep it in the ground, allowing its transport to market runs counter to that aim. The same issues have stalled the development of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas.
Its not easy for a college to divest itself of a particular category of stocks. Their portfolios, just like the 401(k) plans that many workers have, comprise numerous funds for which its hard to track individual holdings. But making a statement would be a first step in the effort to change our energy paradigm.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

In August 2013, President Obama appointed JooYeun Chang as the new Associate Commissioner of the Children's Bureau. Chang is the most recent in a long history of leaders at the Bureau, a history detailed in the new e-book The Children's Bureau Legacy: Ensuring the Right to Childhood.
"It is an honor and a privilege to work for the oldest government agency in the world that is solely dedicated to protecting children and families," said Chang. "That work began with Julia Lathrop, the Bureau's first chief and a pioneer in research-based interventions that truly saved a generation of children. I look forward to working with our staff, grantees, and other stakeholders in the field to continue the good work being done to protect children from abuse and neglect, help children and youth achieve permanency, and strengthen American families."
The idea for the Children's Bureau was suggested as early as 1900—12 years before it was established—by Florence Kelley, a member of the National Consumers League. Kelley regularly spoke on child labor issues and in her lectures proposed a Federal Commission on Children.
In 1903, Lillian Wald, founder of New York City's Henry Street Settlement, suggested to Kelley that the government should establish a federal Children's Bureau to collect and disseminate information concerning all children.
Kelley brought the recommendation to Edward Devine, a trustee of the National Child Labor Committee and associate of President Theodore Roosevelt. While the first piece of legislation to create the Bureau was introduced in 1906, the law was not signed until 1912. Julia Lathrop, a social reformer during the Settlement Movement, was selected as the Bureau's first chief and became the first woman to head a federal agency. She ushered in research-based investigations to evaluate infant and maternal mortality, child labor, and other issues plaguing American society. Lathrop was nicknamed "America's first official mother."
In 1917, Lathrop appointed Grace Abbott, another prominent social reformer of the time, Director of the Bureau's Child Labor Division. Abbott would become the Bureau's second chief, the first woman in U.S. history to be nominated for a presidential cabinet post (for Secretary of Labor in the Herbert Hoover administration), and one of the first female broadcasters to a national audience when she hosted the NBC Radio series, "Your Child," beginning in 1929. Abbott was nicknamed "The Mother of America's 43 million children."
The first five Children's Bureau chiefs were women—Lathrop, Abbott, Katharine Lenroot, Martha Eliot, and Katherine Oettinger—overseeing changes in the Bureau's work to address the tremendous changes in America between 1912 and 1968. In fact, chiefs Abbott, Lenroot, and Eliot authored pieces of the Social Security Act pertaining to child welfare.
As the Children's Bureau's new Associate Commissioner, Chang administers over $7 billion in federal programming to support the nation's child protection, foster care, guardianship, and adoption programs. Prior to her appointment to the Children's Bureau, Chang was the Senior Director of Public Policy at Casey Family Programs. In this position, she worked closely with state and county child welfare leaders to improve and enhance child welfare practice. She also worked with Congress on opportunities to improve national child welfare policy. Her areas of expertise in federal and state policy include child abuse and neglect, foster care and adoption, children's mental health, child welfare financing, and kinship care.

Is it ok to start at 9 months? Or should i wait a month or 2 before I start. Ds will be 9 months in a couple of days
Is it ok to start at 9 months? Or should i wait a month or 2 before I start. Ds will be 9 months in a couple of days
Married to DH since July '07
Mommy to Logan born 09/10/08
Well, my response is of course biased by the fact that we started yogurt at 9 months and DS turned out to have a dairy allergy. I wish we had waited until 1 year before introducing dairy. I think most of the general recommendations about what age to start dairy say 9-12 months. I wish we had waited, maybe it would have given him a little more time for his system to mature and who knows if he would have tolerated it then.
I would say, if there is any history of food allergies in your LO or your family, in general it's best to introduce allergenic foods later rather than earlier.
Our experience with yogurt was FANTASTIC. We started at about 7 mo, despite husband having dairy allergies. It was one of the very few foods that DS was wild about. We used an organic, plain yogurt (Brown Cow - Cream on Top). Eventually I would put mashed up fruit in it, and he would eat the fruit that way as it took a LONG time for him to be able to handle textures.
If your family does not have signifigant allergies, I don't think that starting a good quality yogurt at 9 mo would hurt.
Mommy to DS - 12/29/2007 and DD - 4/11/2010
We are taking tandem nursing day by day
We started yogurt at 6 months too. No dairy allergies in our families. It was great! Only use whole fat, you can mix fruit into the sweetened or plain and you can mix veggies into the plain.

DD who I FF
I survived 10 painful mastitis infections and managed to nurse DS1 till he was 3 years and 7 months
and now DS2 4 years now working on gentle weaning and
"Pride is one of the seven deadly sins; but it can not be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues - faith and hope." Charles Dickens
We started yogurt at 6mos with both kids. They both LOVED it. I'd say try a few tablespoons and see. If you get a reaction...don't give it again, ya know? If not...slowly increase the amount as baby tolerates it.
All over the world there exists in every society a small group of women who feel themselves strongly attracted to giving care to other women during pregnancy and childbirth. Failure to make use of this group of highly motivated people is regrettable and a sin against the principle of subsidiary. ~ Dr. Kloosterman, Chief of OB/GYN, Univ. of Amsterdam, Holland
Mama to:
Shiloh (5/6/06) Nursed for 13 months and Josephine (7/26/08) Nursed for 23.5 mos Currently nursing my new little firecracker, Finley Catherine, born on the 4th of July!!
We started yogurt (plain, whole milk, cream on top) around 9 months, and he loved it. We didn't sweeten it, and he still prefers it unsweetened, but also likes it with maple syrup. Another thing we tried (I think around 10 months) was large-curd cottage cheese. It was easy for him to pick up, and is good mixed with lots of different things.
great! thanks for the replies

LO just turned 9 months on Thursday and our doctor said to start on yogurt and cheese. No milk until she's a year. We can start adding more texture to her food. As much water as she wants but no juices. I'll be going grocery shopping soon to pick up some yogurt.
I'm also not worried as neither DH or I have any food allergies.

If you want to experience wi beers at an outdoor fest gets tics and head to Chilton, WI this May. It sells out. Bring chairs,etc
I remember the days Randy S. used to travel to bars to test his wares; the bars that were mis-serving it got the product yanked. That was when Sprecher was not pasteurized and could only be bought in the large clamp-top returnable bottle. Now we are a throw away culture that is heading to financial disaster. $10 for IPA six pack? Well, I mostly drink the Spainish, Portugese, Itanian, Chilian Reds from Trader Joe's they sell in the $5-$7 range; they are outstanding for the price. .

I just woke up this morning with a really bad clogged duct. I think it has to do with DD constantly teething, causing her latch to be off, but she already has 4 teeth on top, 2 on the bottom. So if it were due to her teething, why barely now?
I've been feeling fuller than normal lately, even though I've been blockfeeding since DD was 1 month old. I'm still AF-free since 8/20/2008, but how is it possible to still have this much milk/OS, this far out in bfing????

text: Lately I've noticed more spit up? Today she spit up around 5-6 times in about an hour but then wanted to feed again. I don't know if she's using me as a pacifier or having tummy problems and wanting to suck. We don't give her paci's so I really would like not to offer one but she might need one if she's just wanting to suck and not really eat. I don't want to be overly alarmed but I'm a new mother and spit up like that bothers me since we haven't had that issue until recently. Is there something I'm doing the wrong or is this normal for her age? She seems rather content but a tad more fussy lately and this simply could be due to the fact that she's waking up a big more lately as in more alert. I was told the more alert they become the more they tend to fuss since they are awake longer periods of the day. Each day is a bit different with her still though so we are gradually learning. Sooooo, help a new mom out! Thank you!!!!! This is such a learning experience with living with a baby 24/7. It's a full time job!!!!!!

Frank Grey—A Go-Getter with Attitude
Frank Grey is a highly motivated achiever with a go-getter attitude. Grey was born with cerebral palsy and also has communication barriers due to speech difficulties. Through diligence, hard work, persistence, creativity and ambition, Grey has created a successful life.
Grey came to the Washington State Division of Social & Health Services, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) in August 2006, after completing his law degree from Seattle University, passing the bar exam and conducting a lengthy, independent job search with hopes of practicing law. His job search efforts were incredibly innovative and creative. Once he landed an interview by having a balloon delivered with a bear inside holding his resume. Grey is not the type of guy to give up, but he continued to run into many dead ends, most likely due to misconceptions about his capabilities.
Grey's DVR services were the result of collaboration among staff, from his counselor to the director. They worked together to provide him with such services as assistive technology to address his communication barriers and help with developing a professional resume. Grey was awarded a six-month internship with the Washington Workforce Association. He gained experience as a policy coordinator and received a positive job reference.
