For this week's #TBT, we would like to highlight a low point in the history of Android. Remember the Thunderbolt? The man, Steve Wozniak, very much disliked that phone from HTC. But, how is that possible? The Thunderbolt was the first publicly available phone to run on Verizon's uber-fast 4G LTE network! What was wrong with it? Well, how about the constant reboots, crap signal no matter where you went, and the despicable update support? Mr. Woz apparently liked this phone so little that he felt the need to go into Gizmodo's comment section and share his feelings. (more…)
Video: HTC Shows Us Their History Through the Smartphone Evolution
HTC has been in the smartphone game since its inception, so sometimes you just have to give credit where it's due. They created the first Android phone that was built for consumers and even made some of the first devices to even feature keyboards and touchscreens. Let's face it, they're OGs in the game. (more…)
HTC Employee: "Sorry About the Thunderbolt in General"
The HTC Thunderbolt is largely thought to be one of the most disappointing, frustrating, and disastrous smartphones of all time. It was released as Verizon's first 4G LTE device, so you can imagine how much attention it grabbed from the tech universe leading up to and after its arrival two years ago. In fact, we hypebeasted the Thunderbolt for months after it was first unveiled at CES in January of 2011, followed by non-stop coverage of it for a lengthy period of time after release. Unfortunately for HTC and those who bought the phone, the phone struggled to become anything but a nuisance as software delays and poor performance tarnished any sort of positive life it once attempted to live. (more…)
HTC Thunderbolt Update to Build 7.02.605.10 is Now Live
We figured Verizon was pulling an epic April Fools prank and approved an update for the Thunderbolt yesterday. Turns out, it is very real and build 7.02.605.10 is rolling out to owners this morning. The update includes a handful of fixes and small improvements to the Ice Cream Sandwich firmware that was pushed out last month.
The update is 19.3MB in size.
Cheers Chris!
HTC Thunderbolt Update to Build 7.02.605.10 on the Way
Verizon approved a new update for the HTC Thunderbolt this morning, one that will bring the phone up to build 7.02.605.10. It's minor and includes small improvements to a handful of features, like the microphone, HTC Watch, text messaging, and Yahoo/Microsoft Exchange connectivity. Yep, that's it.
The update is 19.3MB in size.
On a related note, while I have Thunderbolt owners' attention, how is the phone performing after the Ice Cream Sandwich update? My brother has a T-Bolt and I noticed him using it this weekend – holy s**t was his phone ridiculously slow and laggy. Is it like that for all of you? Would the phone have been better off without this update?
OMG: Rooted, Deodexed, Debloated ICS ROM Released for the HTC Thunderbolt
Now that the official Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Thunderbolt has been released and pushed out to remaining owners (I hear crickets), developers are already working their magic. Last week, a developer released a rooted, deodexed, and more importantly, debloated version of the official ICS build to users. I say more importantly because after looking at the list of removed apps, it's hard to believe there was any room on the device's storage for any user-installed applications. (more…)
Ice Cream Sandwich Update for the HTC Thunderbolt Rolling Out Now!
According to our inbox, and various Android forums like XDA, the Ice Cream Sandwich update that Verizon approved last week for the HTC Thunderbolt, is rolling out now. As expected, the update is a whoppin' 395MB, but that's expected with the big jump from Gingerbread to Android 4.0.
Head into Menu>Settings>Software update to pull it. Full changelog. (more…)
Verizon Finally Approves Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Thunderbolt as Build 7.02.605.06
You probably don't believe this, but Verizon has approved Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Thunderbolt. After missing their self-imposed August deadline, the update is finally ready now that we are in January of 2013. The official build number is 7.02.605.06. Once updated, your phone will be running Android 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6.
Welcome to the club Thunderbolt owners, you poor abused souls.
In this update you'll find lock screen notifications, a custom launch bar, easily create folders, multitask with ease, and more. It's a major update from Gingerbread.
The update is 395MB in size. (more…)

USA Network Announces Top 'Character Approved' Ideas and Influencers of 2011
USA Network's Character Approved Blog (characterblog.com) has chosen Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne, the film The Tree Life, Spotify and Miss Piggy as some of the biggest cultural influencers, trends and ideas of 2011. Each of the eleven experts who contribute weekly updates to the blog handpicked their top people, places and/or things that have had the greatest impact in 2011 across architecture, art, design, fashion, film, food, music, social good, technology, theatre, and writing. The lists also include those whose work will be felt for years to come, such as the artist Ai Weiwei, actor Elizabeth Taylor, and playwright Larry Kramer along with the release of the documentary We Were Here about the AIDS crisis in the eighties.
The Character Approved Top 10 Lists are an example of how USA has expanded the scope and reach of its Character Approved multimedia cultural initiative centered around the annual Character Approved Awards. This past year, USA celebrated the award recipients on the Character Approved website (characterapproved.usanetwork.com) and with a one-hour television special, CHARACTER APPROVED: HONORING 12 CULTURAL TRAILBLAZERS, featuring exclusive interviews with twelve real "characters" who are changing the face of American culture. The Character Approved blog was created to pay tribute all year long to the people, innovations, and trends that are positively affecting our culture and are deserving of the network's "character seal of approval."
In addition to the Top 10 Lists, USA has created a new way to honor the characters in our own lives with the second annual 2011 Character Approved Holiday Gift Guide: The guide is designed to help consumers find the perfect gift for every character on their list including The Culture Hound, The Adventurer, The Entertainer, The Fashion Maven, The Nester, The Sharp-Dressed Man, The Technophile, The Younger Set and The 11th Hour Shopper.

Powdery Mildew of Flowers
Sherman V. Thomson/Extension Plant Pathologist
Scott C. Ockey/Plant Disease Diagnostician
Powdery Mildew
Powdery mildew is a common disease of many flowers grown in home yards. It generally occurs in late summer and early fall, especially when the days are warm and the nights are cool. Heavy dews promote the sporulation and infection of the fungus on susceptible host plants. Flowers and shrubs most often affected are columbine, dahlia, delphinium, honeysuckle, ivy, lilac, phlox, privet, rose, and zinnia.
Symptoms and Causes
Mildew is easily recognized. It appears as white, powdery blotches on the leaves, stems, and buds of the host plant. Late in the year, small black structures called cleistothecia can be seen embedded in the fungal mycelium. This gives the powdery mildew a speckled appearance.
Any one of over 300 closely-related fungi can cause powdery mildew, but they are fairly specific. The fungus species that attacks one plant may not be able to infect other plant species. These fungi usually first attack leaves that are crowded and close to the ground. Once an infection is established, fungal spores can spread to upper leaves and nearby plants by wind or splashing rain. Mildew infections can cause the leaves to yellow and drop prematurely. Mildew can also prevent the opening of flower buds or may cause the flowers to develop abnormally. Mildew also weakens perennials and makes them more subject to winter injury.
Control Measures
Gardening Practices
Powdery mildew is favored by dew, intermittent rain, or sprinkler irrigation. Maintaining conditions that favor rapid drying of foliage will help reduce the incidence of disease. Susceptible flowers should be planted in open areas where they will not be crowded and where they are exposed to the sun. Plants in shade are more prone to mildew than those growing in the sun. Prune during the summer to thin out any dense foliage. This will increase aeration within the plant canopy. Avoid sprinkling at night during the month of August and September. Instead, soak the soil under plants as needed.
Powdery mildews are generally most severe on young succulent growth, which is promoted by excessive nitrogen fertilization. A balanced fertilization program is advisable in which nitrogen fertilization is kept to a minimum, especially in fall months. In the fall, clean up and dispose of all mildew-infected plant debris. This will help to reduce the amount of disease next year.
Chemical Control
In most years, chemical spraying is necessary to control powdery mildew in addition to the gardening practices mentioned above. Fungicides should be applied when powdery mildew is first noticed. To insure against fall infection, start spray applications no later than August 1 and repeat at recommended intervals through September if rainy, fall weather occurs.
It is not necessary to control lilac mildew because it occurs late in the season. Fungicides effective in controlling powdery mildew are listed below. Apply pesticides only to species listed on labels to avoid injury to plants.
|Common (trade) Name
|Cleary 3336
|Available in large packages.
|Ortho Funginex, Rose disease control
|Excellent mildew control, especially on roses.
|Excellent systemic control of mildew. Only available in large packages.
|Various trade names
|May damage foliage in hot weather.
Precautionary Statement: All pesticides have benefits and risks, however following the label will maximize the benefits and reduce risks. Pay attention to the directions for use and follow precautionary statements. Pesticide labels are considered legal documents containing instructions and limitations. Inconsistent use of the product or disregarding the label is a violation of both federal and state laws. The pesticide applicator is legally responsible for proper use.

Understanding Men's Dress Shoes isn't difficult.
Like most things in life, if you break it up into sections and apply a few guidelines it turns out to be pretty simple.
This guide is an overview of men's dress shoe formality meant to help you "generally" understand shoe types, the levels of dress, and what shoes can be worn with what style clothing.
Click here to watch the video – Men's Leather Dress Shoe Guide
Click here to watch the video on YouTube – How To Wear Dress Shoes Right
Note – this chart does make generalizations that some shoe aficionados may have an issue with. I admit it's not perfect – if you have suggestions, email me. In later articles, we'll tackle the issue of color matching and address specific styles like suede and cordovan.
Balmoral (Bal)
- The dressiest oxford men's footwear selection. Sleek, refined, most often sold in black or brown but appropriate in any dark conservative color.
- Style variations include plain toe, cap toe, brogue, and whole cut.
- Appropriate for a suit, if casually styled works with sports jackets and odd trousers. Do not combine with jeans or chinos.
- Every man who owns a suit should own a pair of classic oxfords that are minimally styled. If you wear suits daily you should rotate three pairs or more.
Men's Bluchers
- Less dressy than Bal oxfords, identified by lacing system sewn outside of the shoe.
- Well dressed men know these can be worn with a suit, but are better with an odd jacket and trousers. Can be worn with jeans assuming they are casually styled
- Style variations include cap toe, wing tip, brogue, wide variation in materials like suede and mixed leathers.
- Common variations are saddle shoes, derbies, spectators, and laced moccasins
- A classic shoe that should serve as your 2nd or a 3rd pair depending on needs -the more extreme the styling, the less versatile the shoe.
Men's Dress Boots
- Dress boots are meant to be worn when the weather dictates protecting the ankles from water, mud, and snow -in levels of formality they should not be worn with a suit, although they can if the weather calls for it. If wearing under fair weather conditions, boots should be worn under the rules applicable to a pair of informal bluchers.
- Style variations include cap toe, wing tip, brogues, wide variation in materials especially water resistant leather cuts.
- Appropriate for a sports jacket and odd trousers or jeans. Only wear with a suit in rainy/snowy weather.
- A man should consider boots if he is exposed to conditions that warrant their wear -otherwise, reserve them for your 4th to 5thpair.
Men's Loafers or Slip-ons
- The least dressy choice, they are a product of comfort and convenience.
- Only with a suit when traveling, they are at home with a casual odd jacket and trousers minus necktie. Can be worn with jeans or chinos as well.
- Style variations are wide -usually the more delicate and closer resemblance to oxfords the more dressy. Also, the greater the exposure of socks, the less formal.
- Common variations are monk straps, tassel loafers, penny loafers, unlaced moccasins.
- Loafers are a traveler's best friend – easy to slip on and off when going through airport security or when relaxing on the plane,I recommend they be the 2nd pair a traveling man owns or the 3rd pair for a man who like to look sharp around town in jeans and button down shirt.
All of the shoes in the pictures can be found at AceMarks.
Ever heard of Kickstarter? Well – AceMarks had the MOST funded fashion Kickstarter in history.
They raised over $1.8 MILLION Dollars because their leather dress shoes are that good.
Don't take my word for it. Check them out yourself.

RAW Transcript
Hi. This is Antonio over at "Real Men, Real Style" and I'll be talking today about demystifying dress shoes in 60 seconds or that's the title that I decided to give the article and really, the whole point of this is to show that understanding dress shoes is not difficult so I'm going to mix reading this article and to kind of giving you a little bit of a deeper understanding as to where I was going with it and the points I was trying to make.
Understanding men's dress shoes isn't difficult. Like most things in life, if you break it up into sections and apply a few guidelines to it, it turns out to be pretty simple. This guide is an overview of men's dress shoe formality meant to help you generally understand shoe types, the level of dress and what style of shoe can be worn with what style clothing. Now this is an important point. I put a note here but this is a simplified version. There have been books written about shoes and we could really go into a lot of detail here but this guide is for the young man or for the gentleman who just doesn't know a whole lot about shoes and is looking for clarification literally in 60 seconds.
Let's say he's at a shoe store and he needs to pick up a pair of shoes for a wedding that weekend or he just wants, it's not something that really interest him but he wants to understand why is it that people frown on him when he wears loafers with a suit or why do even boots exist in dress wear. I mean, typically when men think of boots, you think of something that's more, I would say, more utilitarian in a sense of boots as American's we think they should be work and dress boots, they are a bit rougher but there still dress. Their in the category of dress shoes and I keep them there. So as you're listening to this, you can actually see the chart but if you go to the website, www.realmenrealstyle.com and then go to the article, "Demystifying dress shoes." It's going to be under Men's Style Basics or Clothing, right under shoes so you should be able to find it and you can download it. It's a pretty big chart. I'd say it's around 1400 pixels across, 800 pixels high which is basically, it's bigger than a, about twice the size of 2 sheets of paper and the reason we made it big is so you can print it off, you could put it some place. I see a shoe store or maybe even somebody at a small company, kind of putting this out so that men can pick up.
We break it into 4 sections. Now as I wanted to note before, this isn't the normal 4 sections that you would break shoes into. It's 4 sections that we came up with because technically there are both balmorals and bluchers, those both fall under the same category which is Oxford shoes, any shoe that's got a lace up and boots are probably actually, there's multiple categories of boots and the boots that we show in the picture are slip on. Also I apologize if I mispronounce things. I'm a product of the Texas public education system and I did not actually grow up wearing a lot of this stuff. I'm a self taught men's style expert so a lot of the way I'm pronouncing things are simply the way I read them.
So the first, getting back to the chart, break it up into 4 parts. The 4 parts starting at the top are the most formal going out the bottom are the least formal however you still can wear, I mean we're talking about dress shoes so sneakers aren't in here and you don't have to worry about any of that kind of stuff confusing things. So let's talk about Balmoral. Okay so these are what's commonly known as Oxfords but Oxfords do include the second category which are bluchers so for right now I'm going to just call them Bals. Now these are the dressiest Oxford men's footwear selection you can go with and the big thing about these is it the lacing is closed. If you look at, basically you've got a very smooth looking shoe. You don't have, it doesn't look like leather has been strapped on to the side and sewn on to the outside. That is the big thing and it's something that you, it would help if you came and you looked at the image because I try to show, once you see it, you'll know it but Bals are usually sleek.
They're refined. They usually come in dark colors with, I would say, non, they do have a few style variations but they're usually very simple. You'll see just a plain toe, occasionally a little bit of brogue, sometimes you'll see a whole cut which is about a smooth of a in sleek of a leather shoes you can get. Imagine, it's cut from just 1 piece of leather the entire top of the shoe and so Bals basically Oxfords are perfect for suits and this is what they're really made for and in fact you can wear a pair of these if their black and if their shined properly with a tuxedo but every man, I would say, this is the first dress shoe that a man should have. And something like I think of a cap toe, Oxford is perfect and that's something you're going to get a lot of miles out of. You're going to be able to wear it with a suit. You're going to be able to wear it with a sport jacket and odd trousers. When I say odd trousers, I just mean slacks that don't have a jacket that goes with them so you can wear it with grey flants. It's going to be too dressy though. For Chinos or for jeans and so again this is something that, these are your dress up shoes and you want to, every man should have one pair. Every man should have a suit and every man should have a pair of classic Oxfords.
Okay, now moving on to bluchers. These are less dressy simply because they have, if you look at them, it looks like the leather has bit because it has, has been attached to the outside of the shoe and this is actually right where the lacing system's at. They were developed, the general's name, I'll bring that up with another one but basically they've been around for a couple of hundred years and they can be worn with a suit if the shoes are very conservative but they are a little bit less formal of a shoe and they're more at home to be worn, I would say, with a sports jacket and a pair of odd trousers and this is where you're going to see a lot of style variations. Most of your suede shoes, your wing tips, shoes that have a lot of brogue design. When I say brogue, I mean, basically cutting and designing in the leather. You're going to see a lot of that with these so these are the type of shoes that you're going to see just a lot of men. You have a lot of flexibility with these and because of that, they are less dressy and always remember, the more extreme the styling, in a sense, the less versatile the shoe because people remember that. So let's say you got a purple pair of, purple suede of bluchers. Now that's a great, it's a classic shoe. It's something that you can wear and it will look great but you've got to understand that you can't wear those very often because otherwise you're going to be known as the guy with the purple shoes. So you're going to, I would recommend that for a second or third shoe, a man go with the blucher but he go with something that is pretty conservative. So if you're classic Oxfords are black, go with your bluchers, go with those being a dark brown or something like that and go with a very simple design.
Again, your first group of shoes, you want to keep those very simple so that you can get the most miles out of those and examples of this are saddle shoes fall in here, spectators, lace moccasins. So under this we have boots but this is a bit deceptive because boots actually can be a bit dressier or they can be less dressy. Boots kind of fall all over the place but the reason I put boots here is because boots come into the play when the weather calls for them and if it's rainy outside, if it's snowy, you want to wear boots because they protect the ankle, they usually got a sole which is a bit tougher although not always. A lot of the Chelsea dress boot usually has a leather sole that's not really any stronger than what you would find on Oxfords but boots because of their design, I mean I live here in Wisconsin. And right we've got probably 10 inches of snow out there. If I'm going out, I would rather wear boots than a regular pair of dress shoes even if it's a really dressy event, simply because snow is not going to get into, snow would get into my socks if I was wearing regular dress shoes. As I go out, well not so much, I would go through my garage but…
…whenever I'm outside, you can just imagine. You don't want to get snow in your socks so boots, again, they cover the ankle. They do have that added bit of protection and their more of something that you want to own a pair of dress boots if you're in an area, let's say Seattle, Washington or if you're over up in Maine or somewhere in New England where you're walking around a bit outside, you're going to be exposed to water. Now you do need to take care of them just because they are boots, does not mean you don't need to waterproof these, you don't need to clean them after wearing. They're simply going to do a better job of covering and did I miss anything on boots? I think they should be really a man's 4th or 5th pair and I lean towards 5th pair unless you are in a area that really calls for them because of the weather.
The last thing we talked about or the last shoe I talked about are loafers and slip ons. Now these are the least dressy and simply because they slip on, they're closer to the slipper. There something a man would wear around the house but there is an exception and that is if you travel a lot. I would say simply because of their convenience, the comfort and the ability to simply take them off and to go through security screening. To me, makes the loafer slip on a must, possibly second shoe that a man should own if he travels and if he travels quite a bit, he should own a few pairs of loafers and they come in a wide variety. You can have some that do a good job covering up most of the foot and have a very sleek shape and are very dressy and to most people, they would not even notice. You could wear these for the suit and they wouldn't even notice that you're actually wearing a slip on. And then they are a much more casual moccasin style ones which by the material and by the more square design are very, very casual shoes and these are going to be at home more with jeans or chinos. Let me see what else. Did I miss any points?
I kind of alluded to this but the more of your socks that you expose with the slip on, the less formal that slip on is. The only exception is the upper pump and that's what you wear with the tuxedo and that traditionally goes with it. Common variations are monk strap, tassel loafers, penny loafers, unlaced moccasins. I love them on the strap. If you haven't seen it, it's one of my favorite shoes and it's not as common in the United States and it's something that draws a little bit of attention and so it is a little bit less casual. It shouldn't probably be worn with a full on suit but I think for a sport jacket, a blazer and grey flamel trousers, it looks sharp but what you got to pay attention to with the monk strap is you're introducing metal so you got to make sure that you're metals match. If you've got a pair of monk straps and they've got a silver buckle, you've got to wear actually a belt with a silver buckle if you're wearing a belt and you try to match it also with your watch. Wedding rings, that doesn't matter. You don't have to match those.
And that would be it for this part. We do have some really good links on the article. I like over to a tailoredsuit.com. There's a great overview of men's dress shoes there and I also give a big thanks to Leffot. They're a men's shoe store in New York City and I took a lot of my photos, actually most of the photos from their website and they sell all of the shoes here that you see on the website, an amazing company, just give Steven a call. He can do mail orders and highly recommend them. Alright, that is it. This is Antonio with "Real Men, Real Style" and I hope you enjoyed this little podcast. Have a great day. It's evening here but take care and we'll talk to you soon.

Summer 2007 Fueling Our Future
Natural Gas
While natural gas can be a viable short-term emissions-reducing strategy, especially for fleets, there are much better fuels available now, in terms of environmental impacts and personal convenience.
What is it?:
The same gas that heats two-thirds of American homes, lights stoves, and powers water heaters becomes a vehicle fuel when it is squeezed into cylinders as "compressed natural gas" (CNG) or chilled to form "liquified natural gas" (LNG). Natural gas is found underground and is mostly methane, with small amounts of other gases and water vapor. It is formed over centuries when animals and plants decompose while sealed off from oxygen.
The US Department of Energy estimates there is a 60-year supply of natural gas from conventional sources in the US, and more than a 200-year supply from advanced technologies and new discoveries.
The Honda Civic GX is the only current passenger car designed to run on CNG (a previous Ford model was discontinued). Some experiments are underway to use the methane that rises up from landfills, sewage, or manure as renewably generated "biogas." This technique is used widely in developing countries, but is still experimental on a municipal level in the US.
Should You Make the Switch?:
No. You can get better mileage and lower emissions more with other fuels—and better convenience, too. Plus, if you're looking to be part of a long-term environmental solution that's renewable indefinitely, CNG isn't it.
Natural gas might be a good intermediate emissions-reduction step for truck and bus fleets.

The politics of HIV prevention have provoked an Abstinence Avengers vs. Condom Crusaders slugfest inside the Bush White House. In Round 1, Bush's top AIDS advisor dissed condoms as unsafe (see "Scumbag Humbug," POZ, April 2002). Round 2 witnessed Colin Powell counterpunch in an MTV interview seen by Gen-Y millions. A right-wing rumble resulted:
"Condoms are a way to prevent infection, and therefore...I encourage their use among people who are sexually active.... It is important that the whole international community come together, speak candidly about it, forget about conservative ideas with respect to what you should tell young people about it."
-- Colin Powell, secretary of state, Feb. 14
"The secretary of state is certainly skilled in areas of diplomacy, but regarding public health issues, he should follow the lead of the Bush administration."
-- Gary Bauer, president, American Values, Feb. 15
"The president and the secretary are shoulder to shoulder on abstinence education, as well as health education and sex education as a way to...prevent sexually transmitted diseases."
-- Ari Fleischer, White House spokesperson, Feb. 15
"I agree with [Powell]."
-- Sen. John McCain, Feb. 17
"I don't take one step back from the remarks I made... To have said anything else would have been irresponsible."
-- Colin Powell, Feb. 17

Ripoff Report
Cautivadora NY & Living SocialPO Box 156 Brooklyn, New York USA
Cautivadora NY & Living Social Living Social Travel Hammock Deal is SCAM Brooklyn New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Living Social was running a deal on travel hammocks through Cautivadora. I purchased TWO of those in the beginning of July. The terms and Service stated all purchases made from a deal site would take 4-6 weeks for delivery. I've tried several times via email and phone to confirm an anticipated shipping date, I never was able to receive a response.
August 2nd, I received an email that stated my order was processing. I thought this meant my chairs were shipping since it was still within that allotted amount of time. However, two weeks later and I still have yet to receive my chairs.
I contacted Cautivadora via their facebook and twitter along with living social. I received a response from Cautivadora first saying...
We apologize for the inconvenience and that it has taken so long to write back. Your order did not ship yet. Cautivadora has not shipped any hammocks. Cautivadora was not paid for the hammocks by Living Social. Cautivadora was depending on the money to get products shipped and was to be paid an initial payment a month ago but hasn't received any money. Please do not tell my boss as I will get fired but this is the truth and I feel people should know it is not fair that Cautivadora is being beat up when it is not our fault. We will refund your shipping if you would like. We have been receiving an average of 4000 calls a day and 3000 emails a day due to the hammock deal which sold 14000. Mostly people like you looking for the order. Sorry you could not get through.
I then was talking to a represenative on twitter and have a Direct Message that states they have confirmed that all orders are currently being shipped. Moments later I received an email that told me they have not been able to get in contact with a vendor. I called Living Social and talked to a represenative who basically told me the same thing. When I told her I personally had a response from the vendor they said they could reimburse me in "deal bucks".
I've done research on living social and it's no secret that they have had their share of financial trouble. It appears as though predictions are the company will not be around in 2014. I highly recommend and refuse to accept any deal bucks as a remedy for this situation. I purchases two chair $98 plus I paid $16 for shipping on EACH CHAIR. That's $98 +$32 = $130... I want a full chas refund of $130 or I want them to find a comprabile portable hammock for the same value and send that to me. After all it should be the responsibility of Living Social to make sure they are offering deals from reputiable vendors.
IF Cautivadora is right and Living Social has not paid them, What did they do with our money?

Hmmmm.... The only news agency that seems to be carrying this is the "Evansville Courier and Press," and it seems that the only reason they are doing so is because the Liberty Dollar company is based in Evansville. The FBI directed all questions to the Western District of North Carolina U.S. Attorney's Office (and when was the last time the Feebs let a press opportunity pass them by?), and the spokesperson for the US Attorney's office there had "no information on the investigation.
Since the company is, in effect, renigging on all orders and claiming to have nothing (no metal, no records, no nothing), I have to say this smells fishy. I hope, for your sake considering you seem to have an interest in the company, that it all works out...but for me, the smell test has been failed. Good luck.

Wells Fargo Posts Profit Gain as Stumpf Leans on Reserves
Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), the largest U.S. home lender, sought to assure investors its other businesses can make up for flagging mortgage sales after posting a 13 percent gain in profit that partly relied on tapping loan-loss reserves.
Net income advanced in the third quarter to a record $5.58 billion, or 99 cents a share, from $4.94 billion, or 88 cents, a year earlier, the San Francisco-based company said today in a statement. The bank reclaimed $900 million from loan-loss reserves while mortgage banking revenue plunged 43 percent.
Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf, 60, added to the bank's three-year string of record profits, outlasting its biggest rival as JPMorgan Chase & Co. posted a $380 million loss. Stumpf also told investors he'll seek approval to raise the dividend. Still, the bank predicted home lending will slide again in the fourth quarter, prompting analysts to ask whether the company can fill the void and produce profit gains.
"How do you mind the gap?" Mike Mayo, an analyst at CLSA Ltd., said on the conference call. "It seems like the answer this quarter was partly reserve releases, which equaled over one-tenth of your earnings for the quarter."
Diverse Units
Wells Fargo has cited the diversity and sheer number of about 90 different businesses it runs as evidence it can overcome underperformance at any one unit. While Stumpf has stopped short of pointing analysts to specific operations, today's statement showed credit cards, personal credit management and retail sales finance recorded double-digit revenue growth from a year earlier.
"I know there was a little frustration because everybody wants one business to point to," Chief Financial Officer Timothy Sloan said in a phone interview. "I wouldn't think of Wells Fargo as a mortgage company, I would think about it as a diversified financial institution," he said. "Because of that diversification, we don't have to say, 'Oh, mortgage is down, so credit-card, you have to pick up the slack.' Everybody's going to pick up the slack."
Wells Fargo shares were little changed at $41.43 in New York as the 24-company KBW Bank Index rose 0.4 percent. The lender's stock climbed 21 percent this year through yesterday, trailing the 23 percent gain for the KBW benchmark.
Cost Target
The bank reported declines in revenue, lending margins and the backlog of new mortgage loans. The efficiency ratio, which measures costs as a percentage of revenue, rose to 59.1 percent, missing the firm's target of 55 percent to 59 percent. Noninterest expenses were little changed at $12.1 billion.
Revenue fell 3 percent to $20.5 billion. Profit before taxes and loss provisions, which some analysts use to gauge the bank's core performance, declined 8 percent to $8.38 billion. Net interest margin, the difference between what a bank makes on lending and what it pays for funding, fell to 3.38 percent, a 0.08 percentage point drop from the second quarter.
Sloan said expenses will fall back to within the bank's target range in the fourth quarter, and Stumpf said a higher dividend and share buybacks will be included when the bank submits its new capital plan to federal regulators. He's raised the dividend twice this year.
Wells Fargo made $1.61 billion from mortgage banking, 43 percent less than a year earlier. The mortgage business run by Mike Heid originated $80 billion in new home loans during the quarter. Pending mortgages plunged to $35 billion from $63 billion in the second quarter.
Mortgage Loans
Sloan, 53, told analysts last month that mortgage originations and profit margins on selling home loans would fall in the third quarter. Borrowers were discouraged as interest rates rose amid speculation that the Federal Reserve would pare its efforts to stimulate the economy with low rates.
Wells Fargo, which has been expanding a securities unit under John Shrewsberry after acquiring it in the purchase of Wachovia Corp., took in $397 million in investment-banking fees, a 33 percent increase from a year earlier. Trading revenue fell 25 percent over the year ago to $397 million.
The community banking division, which includes the retail-bank unit led by Carrie Tolstedt and consumer-lending business headed by Avid Modjtabai, booked $3.34 billion in net income, a 22 percent increase over the year earlier. Profit in the wealth unit run by David Carroll rose 33 percent to $450 million, while net income in the wholesale banking unit run by David Hoyt fell 1 percent to $1.97 billion.
Refinancing Wanes
Ten-year Treasury yields, which are used to set rates for some consumer loans including mortgages, rose from this year's low of 1.63 percent on May 2 to 3 percent on Sept. 5. Mortgage refinancing applications, which accounted for 82 percent of all requests for home loans last year, made up 63 percent in the third quarter, according to data compiled by the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The company said in July 2011 it would take out $1.5 billion in quarterly costs, then backtracked a year later to pursue higher mortgage revenue. The bank has since renewed the effort as home borrowing waned, announcing at least two rounds of job cuts totaling more than 4,800 workers. Another 500 cuts were also announced, according to a presentation today.
Wells Fargo employed about 274,000 people at midyear, the largest workforce among domestic lenders.
U.S. banks are still facing fallout from bad loans made before the housing crash. Wells Fargo announced Sept. 30 it had agreed to an $869 million settlement with Freddie Mac to resolve disputes over loans sold to the government-backed firm before Jan. 1, 2009. Within days, the bank was sued by New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman over claims the lender didn't uphold terms of a $25 billion mortgage-servicing settlement in February 2012.
Analysts' View
Out of 42 analysts who cover the stock, 19 gave the equivalent of a buy rating through Oct. 10, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It's the fourth straight month the percentage stood below 46 percent. Before that, the tally hadn't dropped below 48 percent since the month ending Oct. 14, 2009, when the equivalent of two out of five analysts recommended buying the stock.
Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are set to release results next week.
Most of the largest U.S. banks are still struggling to show increased revenue amid still-narrowing lending margins, borrowers cutting debt levels and weak volumes in bond-trading. The six largest U.S. lenders probably will report revenue of $100.9 billion for the quarter, a 3.4 percent decline from a year earlier, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg through Oct. 7.
Wells Fargo has countered the lack of growth by buying loan portfolios from other banks and investing in securities with higher yields. The firm agreed in August to buy commercial property loans from ING Real Estate Finance (USA) LLC with balances of $1.6 billion.

Where I stayed
Hat Head Holiday
JOURNEY: Corindi, Mullaway,Coffs Harbour, Sawtell; scenic drive Scott's Head, Grassy Head, Stuart Point to our destination, Hat Head
WEATHER: Sunny and 20 -28 degrees on Thursday; Friday cool and cloudy; Saturday rain all day; Sunday rain cleared but cool.
Sometimes it is hard to leave a place and Corindi Beach was one of those spots- campground cheap and scenic, beach, views and walks with a little village supplying necessities! We will return!
A short distance off the Pacific Highway, we pulled into Mullaway and walked the path for ocean views and then stopped for a while at Coffs Harbour, a large coastal town of 61,000 people, with a decent harbour and centre of banana plantations, dairy production as well as a holiday destination.
The wind had turned breezy when we parked at Park Beach for a break and we didn't have any reason to go into town so we drove through and reached Sawtell a pretty town on the beach.
We recalled checking out the town on our last visit so decided to explore new territory at Valla Beach- just gorgeous with its wide white beach and little village!
The 30 km scenic drive looping off the highway just south of Macksville was a pleasant diversion and we took note of the camping grounds at Scotts Head, right on the beach and very appealing; Grassy Head, an older shabbier camping site behind the dunes.
And finally Stuarts Point where we stopped for lunch and followed the action of birds, dogs and people on the tidal river. The camping ground was busy with grey nomads and fishermen and looked inviting.
Next stop Hat Head!
The title of the blog refers to the fact that we were here for a couple of days in November 2009, on the first leg of our big adventure- we were rushing a bit then to catch the ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania on Dec.4.
This time we are without such a tight time frame so can spend longer in our favourite places and Hat Head village was one of them. The national park is quite spectacular!
Unpowered site 315 was given to us on arrival at the Hat Head Caravan Park and on Thursday afternoon we were happy with the spot. Friday found us in the middle of a wedding group who were camped in tents, caravans and the on site villas. They were an ok crowd and heavy rain on Friday night and most of Saturday forced them inside to party.
We felt sorry for the couple who had planned to wed on the beach on Saturday at 4pm- it was dark, raining and windy so long time plans were scrapped and the ceremony took place in the Surf Club, not quite the same romantic setting. They all dressed up again on Sunday to take pictures under sunny skies!
The wet weather on Saturday kept us confined to the van with a couple of short sessions under our canopy but the wind forced that closed. We found enough to happily pass the day but were a bit disappointed when Sunday morning dawned wet and cloudy- by noon the sun peeked through and we could get out with another trip to Connor Beach, a surf beach across the headland a kilometer from the camp.
A family of kangaroos took notice as we marched on by but went back to feeding when they saw we meant no harm. They are so cool!
The Korogoro trail is an attractive track around the headland with views over the coast and sea and well worth the effort.
The tidal creek is very interesting showing up deep red as the tide goes out and a lovely blue when the tide comes back in. We watched groups of fish in the water from the walk bridge across the creek- noone seems to be catching them.
Happily the general store was selling local flat head in batter for $1.50 a piece and Kath got a bit greedy and returned a few times to savour the delicious fresh fish.
The Bowling Club has a first class chef in charge of the dining room and although we did inspect the menu and dining room we never did go back to eat there; we had too much food on hand to eat out! Next time!
There are two interesting walking tracks from here through the national park and they are worth the effort with views and coastal vegetation along the way.
Our stay here was extended because we are awaiting the WWOOFERs handbook that we had mailed to the Hat Head Post Office. Willing Workers on Organic Farms is the translation and we thought it might be something different to try as we travel around- you do a little bit of work for your keep for a short time and some of the farms are in idyllic places so we are keen to read the handbook for possible destinations!
We hooked up with the NSW camp ground host program but they wanted to send us back to Bundjulung NP for the hosting and being for the month of the Xmas holidays we know that it would be a demanding stint. So we stepped out of that program for the present.
Tuesday morning and it was time to pack and set off southwards again.

Town nixes chicken ordinance
IRWIN (AP) — The commissioners of a western Pennsylvania bedroom community have rejected a push by some residents to allow them to raise small flocks of chickens in the backyards of their suburban lots.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the North Huntingdon commissioners nixed the idea 5-1 Thursday night.
Gayleen Fisher argued against the measure, saying having "backyard chickens is regression. This is a progressive community with average-sized suburban lots."
But supporters say raising chickens in urban and suburban areas is a trendy, smart and progressive idea that's becoming increasingly popular.
Tiffany Alchof supported the ordinance and says, "Chickens are much quieter than dogs, kids, lawnmowers, motorcycles and the Norwin Band" — the local high school's marching unit.
The commissioners voted against the ordinance largely due to constituent complaints and concerns about enforcing the measure.

The main advantages of zinc die casting are that they can produce parts very, very cheaply; the parts can be cast with great accuracy and they take chrome plating very well. It is not a traditional firearms material. It is weak and it cracks easily; it is soft and wears quickly. But if you chrome plate the parts they will wear well in the configuration of the slides and if you make the parts beefy enough they will be strong enough (mostly). All of this explains why they fail, and why they have fat, clunky frames and slides.
I personally would never own a weapon produced from a zinc die casting (even if it were alloyed with some aluminum--which makes it stronger, it really sucks as a firearms material.) It should be used for plumbing fixtures and lighting fixtures.
But the weapons are cheap and they work for a while and for some people that is enough.
Note: Some newer plumbing fixtures use plateable grade ABS plastics in place of zinc die castings. So maybe there will be a plastic gun in our future.
other than being big, bulky, and heavy, they are also ugly as sin. but good thing about the massive sidearm, is that you will have no problem beating someone to death with it. other than that ive heard nothing but good things, so to my surprise there are alot of used ones for sale. keep that in mind cause theres only a couple reasons why someone will sell a barely used gun which usually consists of: upgrading to higher quality (but if its such a good deal, any gun guy would keep it), in bad need of quick cash, something was found wrong with it that either is dangerous, or something the manufacturer will not cover under warranty, etc... so think hard about it $160 for a new 40s&w isnt bad at all but if you add another $250, you could find a good used beretta or glock in the same caliber
raven, jennings, jiminez, bryco, lorcin, rohm, rg, smith and wesson, walther , davis to name a few have all turned out guns with significant zinc castings and without fail, they have been huge pieces of crap.
Yes a hammer would be best but the op is wanting a gun that can double as a hammer in case an emergency roofing situation occurs in a shootout. Gotta stay prepared right?
ha!ha!ha!,now that you've all took a major crap on my high point,i'll ask again.does i have a weaver rail?oh,i heard the fbi carry this weapon.
ha!ha!ha!,now that you've all took a major crap on my high point,i'll ask again.does it have a weaver rail?oh,check this out:All Hi-Point firearms carry a lifetime, no-questions asked warranty.
Whether you are the original purchaser, or the third-hand owner, your Hi-Point firearm will be repaired free of charge.
i bet your $600 glock does'nt do that.
I'd think the only reason it needs a lifetime, no-questions asked warranty is BECAUSE it's a piece of shit. I've personally seen two fail at the range... one spectacularly. Save your money next time.
you've never seen other QUALITY handguns fail?its for a home protection weapon anyway.i have a taurus pt 24/7 .40 cal.for conceal carry weapon.which is not the best,but better than the high point.it has a rail but,don't know if its a weaver rail.i will call the company.
If it's for a home protection weapon, shouldn't it be the best you can afford? And by afford, I mean instead of dropping $160 on a paperweight, wait a few paychecks and buy a used Glock.
Yes, I've seen other handguns fail, and I'd bet that 9 out of 10 were operator error (bad reloads or improper ammo selection for their gun).
There's a reason there are no shooters who do it for a living (aka high end training courses, and yes, I've been to many of them) don't use Hi Points. It may work as a sample of one, but over all they are not well built, they are not proven over the long haul.
I know someone will say it, so here it goes... "It's just for home defense". If someone thinks they can buy a pistol and load it and set it on the night stand and THEN hope that it will magically protect them... THEY'RE RETARDED. You have to shoot your gun, a lot! to get proficient enough to defend yourself from all but the most inept intruders. As the economy falls further into the shitter, the intruders are going to get more desperate and they will evolve their tactics to faster, harder entries rather than skulk in and out.
If you shoot a Hi Point hard, I mean proficiency hard... it WILL FAIL.
Hey, they go "bang" when you pull the trigger !!
So does a 12 gauge pump mossy. So ask yourself which would you trust more as a home defense weapon? If you choose hi-point, you go ahead and rely on it but you can't say you wasn't given a better option.
The point of owning a gun for self defense is to train with it. Like I said earlier, some people think that "just having it" is going to protect them. Proving a guns reliability over time is just icing on the cake once you can shoot under duress.
Gotta get up early.. catch the rest of this tomorrow.... SHOOT SAFE!

LOOK has developed the Kéo Power: the first power and cadence measuring pedal for the most demanding cyclists. Combined with POLAR technology for data transmission and display, the Kéo Power permits direct display on the computer of pedaling information.
To adapt to athletes who leave nothing to chance, LOOK, the inventor of the automatic pedal and POLAR, inventor of the heart rate monitor, have combined their experience to offer an innovative, accurate reliable product.
How it works
Each pedal senses the cyclist's power and rate through the pedal shaft and transfers them to transmitters (fixed on the crank arm), which send them directly to the computer using wireless technology.
Accurate Measurement
The Kéo Power permits very accurate measurement of the power and cadence. Each axle is equipped with 8 strain gauges permitting very accurate measurement of the axle deflection and so of the forces applied to it.
The observed measurement deviations, whatever the value of the force and its point of application are less than 2%. The axle electronics are designed to measure forces up to 170kg, obviously the axle can support much larger forces. The cadence is measured using a reed relay placed in the axle of the pedal.
Through the force and cadence measurement, the Kéo Power is capable of reading power. The information is then sent to the POLAR transmitter, which sends it wirelessly to the meter via the WIND® protocol.
Left / right balance
Because it measures the power on each axle, the Kéo Power permits an indication of the left/right power distribution as a percentage. This will allow experienced cyclists to improve their pedaling technique.
Easy to install, Use & self-calibration
The Kéo Power is very easy to install, compatible with the majority of bicycles on the market and very easy to move from one bike to another, in contrast to systems that are found in the crankset or the hub. Calibration is done automatically when the system starts up.
Keo standard: Efficiency, reliability, and lightness
The Kéo Power possesses all the characteristics of a Kéo. The platform surface is the same as the Kéo Blade, which is one of the widest currently available (62mm), guaranteeing excellent stability and efficiency. The platform height is also the same as a Kéo Blade (15.2mm).
The Kéo Power is among the lightest power measurement systems on the market.
The axle has been the subject of special attention: 3 bearings, double seals. It has undergone exactly the same approval tests as the standard axles: Kéo Power axles have only been approved after a 1 million cycle rotation test at 100rev/min with a load of 90kg on the center of the pedal and eccentric rotation (which creates a shock at each turn). This test is much greater than the current standard: EN14781.

Bondholders think the International Monetary Fund and western governments are forcing them to support a sovereign restructuring process that would violate their interests and those of the international bond market as a whole. Hans Humes propeses a solution that would protect the interests of both debtor and creditor in future sovereign restructurings.
The Argentine crisis has highlighted the split between
private and public sector on how to manage sovereign defaults.
Since November 2001, when Anne Krueger of the International
Monetary Fund made her initial speech on international
bankruptcy to the National Economists' Club, there has been a
barrage of proposed reforms to the current ad hoc system of
external debt restructurings. The focus of many of these
proposals has been to ensure that "rogue creditors," or
minority bondholders who might not agree with the majority's
decision, do not derail future sovereign restructurings.
Bondholders, on the other hand, feel some animosity towards the
international financial institutions after being forced to
suffer reductions in principal in Ecuador and Russia while
public sector creditors took none. The experience in Argentina
so far has not been any better. Not surprisingly, bondholders
have no confidence that the IMF and other multilaterals will
come up with a...

After a seemingly endless series of pre-announcements and forward-looking briefings, Sun Microsystems has finally begun the process of making Java open source. Better still, it's doing it for real: The code will be released under the GNU GPL (General Public License).
Sun has promised to eventually release the code to all its own software for some time, and it has already made available the code to a number of products. But these releases were generally made under Sun's own open source license, called CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License). The decision to release Java under the GPL is something of a departure, but it's sure to be a welcome one among the free software faithful. Although CDDL is recognized by the Free Software Foundation as a free software license, it is widely perceived as being more aligned with the interests of commercial software businesses than is the GPL, and less in tune with the spirit of free software.
The most obvious benefit of choosing the GPL is that this move, once and for all, aligns Java with the GNU/Linux community -- including distributions like Debian, which only include software based on very strict guidelines with regard to licensing and intellectual property.
Says Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz in his blog, "The GPL is the same license used to manage the evolution of GNU/Linux -- in choosing the GPL, we've opened the door to comingling the communities, and the code itself."
Even more interesting, Schwartz made reference to another story that has been bouncing around the headlines of late: the recent partnership between Microsoft and Novell. That deal was "one of the strongest motivations to select the GPL," according to Schwartz -- which would make Sun execs very prescient, indeed, considering that the partnership was only announced a couple of weeks ago. Or perhaps waiting for the Microsoft/Novell deal to close explains Sun's delay in formally open sourcing Java?
At any rate, Schwartz adds, "Those that say open source software can't be safe for customers - or that commercially indemnified software can't foster community -- are merely advancing their own agenda. Without any basis in fact."
What do you think? Is the decision to release Java under the GPL a victory for the free software movement? And are we seeing the battle lines being drawn between those companies who believe open source can coexist with business models like Microsoft's, and those who choose cleave more closely to open source ideals? Talk back to us, below.

Vitamin B5 Hairloss- Cured (Pictures)
phillyeagles91 replied to itsoveryes's topic in Diet & holistic healthThis! I think it's one hundred percent this. I remember my hair was growing and looked the best when my diet was on point and my exercise was as well. I was eating a lot of coconut oil and sweet potato, fiber, veggies, etc. Just old healthy stuff and that's when my hair was at its best and inflammation was at its lowest. It's was also during the summertime. Perhaps this has to do with candida?

phillyeagles91 replied to itsoveryes's topic in Diet & holistic healthI highly recommend taking probiotics and eating high fiber diets everybody. There's a possibility this has something to do with our gut and the massive amount of b5 doing damage to it. I do remember having diarrhea only when I started the megadose.

Aclara Mobile Experience Offers Electric, Gas And Water Utilities An Integrated, User-Friendly Way To Engage Consumers
Aclara Technologies LLC, a leader in intelligent infrastructure solutions and part of the Utility Solutions Group of ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE:ESE), today introduces the Aclara Mobile Experience (AME). AME is a turnkey solution for Apple iOS and Google Android devices that performs a diverse range of applications such as usage tracking, bill pay, outage reporting, customer service and others. AME will enable electric, gas, and water utilities to integrate a diverse set of consumer-facing applications into a secure and easy-to use mobile solution.
Utilities will brand and personalize AME to meet specific functional requirements, determining which features are offered to their consumers, including links to social media tools. Each utility can specify which applications it includes in its implementation, and those apps will operate in the cloud, providing a simple interface to the consumer that is low-impact on the mobile device.
Aclara has agreements with a number of feature providers to develop best-in-class bill payment, outage/trouble reporting, home-energy management, customer service and demand response solutions that meet the needs of its clients. Utilities also can integrate their existing applications into the AME platform through Aclara's toolkit interface. Aclara also has built an AME interface to its industry-leading Consumer Engagement solution, and will integrate AME with similar applications from other companies as well as those that support the Department of Energy's Green Button initiative, once those interfaces are completed.
"Aclara has spent considerable time evaluating both industry and consumer requirements and believes that AME is clearly a game-changing approach to mobile consumer engagement by utilities," said Aclara's Vice President of Business Development Andy Zetlan. "We've designed AME to achieve flexibility and higher degrees of functionality than prior designs, while remaining focused on security and ease of use for the consumer."

Movers: Hartford Financial, Boeing, Novell, Big Lots, Brown-Forman
Hartford Financial Services Group (HIG) rises 5.07 to 12.28 after the insurance company raises 2008 EPS guidance to $4.70-$4.90.

For the full fiscal year 2008, Novell's non-GAAP operating margin was 10%.

Says its businesses that serve industrial markets are seeing much larger than expected decline in volume and reduced profitability due to significantly slowing global economic conditions. SON to close about 15 plants globally, cut about 700 positions for cost of about $29 million. Including projected impact of higher pension costs, it sees 2009 base EPS of $1.95-$2.05; excluding higher pension costs, sees base EPS of $2.25-$2.35.

Specially washed for softness and a broken-in appearance, this T-shirt (that's been part of our line since 2004) looks and feels like the well-worn favorite you had in college.
Size & Fit Details
Slim broken-in T-shirt
Slim broken-in T-shirt is rated out of 5 by 55.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnA from The perfect fit for athletic builds. I'm a physically fit 6'4", 210lb guy, and it's always been annoying that I have to buy XL shirts to fit my upper body, but then the waist is like a tent. These J Crew slim-fit tees are a perfect fit. Even better, the arms are not too long and are cut a bit slimmer than most tees. I have a few of these from last year, and this years tees seem to be just a bit more "fitted" - a good thing in my book! The fabric is light and soft, with a nice drape. Very high-quality look and feel. One last thing, I buy the normal length, not the "tall", and they are just right.

Rated 5 out of 5 by leefrick from Probably the best basic tee I have wasted a lot of time and money trying to find the perfect t-shirt. I'm usually hesitant to buy 100% cotton because they usually seem to shrink, stretch or warp in some way after washing but these are different. These shirts are very comfortable, hold their shape well and fit spot on for me. Quality seems great so far. For a size reference, I am 5'11", 160lbs, 42" chest. The Medium is perfect. Not skin tight but not a wide box either.
