Rated 5 out of 5Â by 29 and single Great comfort.
I have worn the traditional Sperry deck shoe all through high school and college. I have several pair. This time I decided to try something a little different. They are neat looking and are appropriate with jeans or even jacket and tie. They are very comfortable. The perfect bare foot shoe, to wear without socks, just like the regular deck shoe. I wear them everywhere.

So I am new to the forum, and i want to do something as a way to keep me motivated so I will log my progress with an 8 week run of Alphamine.
In March of 2010 I weighed in at 336 pounds. I couldnt run a quarter of a mile without feeling like death. My son was born in Aug 2009 and it changed my life. I want to be around for him and set healthy standards so he never has to step foot in an unhealthy lifestyle.
I started with no supplementation at all in 2010, ran P90X for the year and lost 60 pounds. In 2011 I added some Litup, Lipo AM and PM and my weight loss ignited from there. I was all the way down to 195 pounds and then came 2012. My marriage almost crumbled, my elbow dislocated and my knee was screwed up bad. Needless to say I gained some weight back and now i am at 232 pounds. I would love to be back around 195-205 pounds in 8 weeks as I have my 4 local 5k's, Spartan Race, and Warrior Dash to get ready for but i know i need to get my ass in check.
I will be running Alphamine, Flashover, Daa, stack for the next 4 weeks then i will add in Appnuts 7 keto for the remaining 4 weeks as well.
I will update twice a week or more to keep myself chugging along.
I will be doing P90X/Insanity Hybrid and running if weather permits. Wish me luck guys!

Connecting up your fans and filters will need a few different components, all of which can be found in this ducting and accessories section. The main component that every extraction system will need is ducting to carry your hot air away from your room and your fresh air to where you need it. We also carry a range of ducting accessories such as bend and Y-pieces for more complex extraction set-ups. The key with ducting runs is to reduce resistance wherever possible by keeping runs as straight and clear as possible.

Hi All,
My name is Jerry and I've had collecting spurts off and on for 50 odd years. My father passed away a few years back and left me a collection of half cents and large cents that I never really looked at. I know from my experience and Heritage auctions that some varieties of coppers are more valuable than others, but I've never seriously looked into the all the aspects of it. Now that I"m retired I'd like to take the journey and learn enough to attribute what I have and prepare it for a future sale.
My question is: What are the best books I should purchase to learn about N numbers and die states and rarity? and where do I purchase them? Any help would be most appreciated.

@Fallenangel: Thanks, I do not make a distinction between them indeed. I always start out with a linedrawing and then just try to add as many detail as possible (at the moment of drawing)
So today it was really warm weather and I thought it would be a good idea to draw outside.
I got it pretty badly and now I am sitting in a room with windows closed, curtains in front of it and getting overheat. :V
Gosh, I hate summer weather when it is OCTOBER.
Since I could not draw things outside I was very frustrated and did a sheet of Vanderpoel studies:
Somewhat older studies from life:
And a comic I should get back working on:
Also I finished purple hair blue skin girl with a ribbon:
I want it to be autumn. Nao. :V
Also I started on learning Russian. I have a book for it now

i think sony should make a program to where you can make ATRAC's but save to a file and not burn them. if they already got that them i must have missed out on it but it would be alot better to have ATRAC3 than MP3 dont you think? :?
no really the quaility is not as good. i would rather have mp4 then anything else
I got a net MD player and 2 mp3 players and the sound quality of the md is better at lower bitrate. 132kbps Atrac3 sounds like 192kbps Mp3. I was even majorly suprised how 66kbps Atrac3 sounded, it compares to 96kbps or even 112kbps mp3. Seriously, 64kbps mp3 sounds horrible.
Mp3's are still easier to use, that is if you download them , but for those who have to rip straight off the cd there is no difference lol. After I started using a net MP player, I question why anyone still uses mp3 players (expect those that come with microdrives).
no its not.Originally Posted by Matt
the number stands for the the quality. there is mp2 out there and stuff
you might have gotten confused becasue mp4 is a big file and it could be as big as a small video file
MD's good! Because it depends on time how many tracks you can put on an MD even at 320kbs you can still fit as many tracks as you can with 128k or 192k tracks and with LP4 you can fit 5 and a half hours on one MD and it doesn't sound any different to SP.
Dude, on LP$, it sounds sooooo shit!!! It sounds like the soul of the music is completely gone, its just empty. If you can't tell the difference between LP4 and SP, you shouldn't be spending enough to buy a NetMD on technology that is useless to you.
What the hell are you on about???Originally Posted by gamingmonkey2004
MP4 is short for MPEG4, which is the continuation of MPEG2 (there was never a MPEG3, to avoid confusion with Mp3).
mp3 is just part of MPEG-1 audio layer 3.
MPEG4 is video, not audio, and MP4 is short for MPEG4.
Why is the technology useless to me if I get 5 and a half hours on 1 disc in LP4 instead of 1 hour and 20 minutes and can't tell the difference between LP4 and SP? please explain!?Originally Posted by alternate_ending
Because it sounds like you can't tell the difference between CD quality and audio compressed to 48kbs, you may-as-well buy a 128mb mp3 player from ebay for $80. That'll give you more than five and a half hours of music.
And the 2 aussies (ozies) battled it out...
Fair dinkum, i wouldn't a thunk it. don't worry bout us, we'll just chuk shrimp on the barbie and down a fosters and all 'll b choice.
I love the stereotypical aussie!
BTW, we call em prawns, and its very rare to see an aussie with a fosters in his hand.
Anyway, we're off topic now. Sorry!
Yeah I have to agree I wouldnt drink Foster's either, give me a Toohey's Extra Dry over a Foster's any day!
I wouldn't even clean my toilet with fosters. Hasn't mp4 got a lower compression than mp3? There is definatley a reduction in sound quality between sp lp4 but "it sounds so shit" isn't really and appropriate description. In otherwords there is a difference but not much of one.
LOL. yeah like some dude telling me DVD-Audio sounds a lot better than CD because CD has 192 KB quality while DVD-A has 10,000KB...
His figures were probably accurate but considering the ear can only hear so much and tell so much of a difference its pretty pointless talking about extremely high sound quality and hailing it as god.
It would be very silly to have a sound better than the ear can hear!
It is not nessasary.
I found a decent explanation here:
MPEG4 is an existing standard format for video.
MP4 is a file extension for MPEG4 files that can contain just audio, just video, or both. You can also get a MPEG4 audio or video file with the .mpg extension.
This link mentions that they ar trying to standardize the new audio format by calling all the sound files .m4a
Granted, whoever has been thinking up new file extensions probably wasn't using his noggin on how to not confuse the public. It would have been easy to call MP4 something different.

Before Steve Jobs: 5 Corporate Innovators who Shaped Our World
The former head of Apple comes from a long line of American innovators who changed society
- By Joseph Stromberg
- Smithsonian.com, August 26, 2011
(Reuters / Corbis)
As founder of Microsoft, Gates' biggest achievements as an innovator lie not in creating new technologies from scratch, but in maximizing their earning potential and bringing them to the market. "Gates always seemed to be really focused on understanding the business side," says Allison, "what was going to sell particularly in the corporate marketplace." From Microsoft Windows to Microsoft Office, he has played a uniquely significant role in shaping the state of modern computer software around the globe.

henry ford and steve jobs were ultimate innovators for they gathered the people around them and motivate them for the thing to invent which was literally imposssible the long time before
wright brothers comes after them i think
Posted by hemant on December 20,2011 | 02:20 AM
They forgot one of the giants...Cyrus McCormick. The man who, more than anyone else, turned this country from an agricultural one to an industrial one with his invention of the mechanical reaper. He also helped the Union win the Civil War. While the South largely grew cash crops (tobacco, cotton), the Midwest mostly grew foodstuffs. With many of the Midwestern farmers off fighting the Civil War, one man with a team and a reaper could keep dozens of soldiers fed.
Posted by Stuart Lutz on October 6,2011 | 02:46 PM
" Bill Gates is no Steve Jobs". Both of them are on this list on their own right. The personal computer became a household item because of Gates' vision. Jobs, in iPhone, put together in one package what Palm and blackberry had been doing already, but with his creative touch. Just like Edison had made the technology that Tesla has been nurturing accessible to the masses. Those who know the history, in the past Microsoft's investment in Apple helped the company flourish. To be appreciative of Steve's work, you do not have to discredit others - in doing that, you are taking away from what this innovator rightfully deserves on his own merit.
Posted by Debargha Sengupta on October 6,2011 | 01:08 PM
henry ford should be in the list. so are the railroad barons. they might have been ruthless but they changed the way people lived.
Posted by minnie on October 6,2011 | 12:33 PM
I think Ford raised his worker's pay to $5.00 a day so they could buy a Ford. Even a short list should include the true industrialist like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Railroad magnates, the Dukes, and a few others who truly changed the way our society functions.
Posted by d. Martin on September 14,2011 | 09:31 AM
Seems to me that Lee Iacocca is standing in front of the name of one of the top three innovators this country has ever seen; Henry Ford. Ford, Edison, and the Wright brothers built much of the industrial wealth of this country with their vision, determination, and innovations. Iacocca was more of a marketing man in my opinion.
Posted by Claude Schlecker on September 2,2011 | 06:32 AM
Bill Gates is no Steve Jobs. He did nothing innovative. He was a ruthless business man. If he couldn't buy a company, he put them out of business. He is aligned with the likes Henry Ford and Rockefeller.
Posted by Gil Hansen on September 1,2011 | 06:32 PM
Excellent choices all but no such list is ever really complete. I would add Henry Ford who, like Jobs, had the vision to imagine what technology can do in our lives. Jobs imagined a computer in every home and Ford imagined a car in every driveway. Radical ideas both.
Ford redefined the concept of a car for a generation of Americans with his Model T. No longer was a car a toy or sport for the wealthy but a new mode of transportation for the "great multitude" as he put it.
Ford's mass production system for the Model T enabled the $5 day which created a large, new middle class customer for his products. Marketing genius !

Jobs did all this without dressing up or making a fool of people.
He demonstarted that you could be sincere, love your work and enjoy what you do.

Thank you Steve Jobs, for blessing us with incredible technology. I love my Apple MacBookPro. May the good Lord bless you with a turnaround in your health and bring you peace.
May God Bless You!

Shameful that you mention Robert Noyce but ignore Jack Kilby. Jack Kilby was instrumental in growth of TI. He had the chip invention 6 months before Robert Noyce, who was working for Fairchild at the time.
Just like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, in opposite camps innovated.

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), owner of the largest private prison system in the United States, recently sent a letter to 48 states offering up to $250 million to manage government-owned detention centers. The letter lists the criteria of eligible purchases, which include an assurance that state corrections agencies "have sufficient inmate population to maintain a minimum 90 percent occupancy over the term of the contract."
This guarantee isn't difficult to rationalize when considering it from CCA's point of view. They are paid by the government for each prisoner they house, so they want to house as many prisoners as possible in order to maximize their revenue.
But what if there aren't enough prisoners to fill CCA's quota? Private prisons have faced this dilemma before, and they've responded by buying prisoners through legislation, government infiltration and old-fashioned bribery. And in the not too distant future, these conditions may mean that the mass arrests of Occupy protesters could become a windfall for investors.

Celebrate! Final Parity Regulations under Mental Health Care Law are a "Crowning Achievement" in Ending Insurance Discrimination; Statement of National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NAMI Executive Director Michael J. Fitzpatrick issued the following statement on behalf of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization and a leader in the mental parity movement.
NAMI applauds and thanks President Obama and Secretary of Health & Human Services Kathleen Sebelius for issuing today the final regulations that define parity under federal law, requiring insurers to provide mental health care benefits on the same terms that they cover physical illnesses.
The regulations are a crowning achievement. They are the result of a 20-year bipartisan campaign by individuals and families affected by mental illness to end unfair discrimination that led to enactment of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008. They are essential to implementation of what is now the law of the land.
We also thank President George W. Bush and all members of Congress who played a role over the years leading to this moment. All Americans can applaud when our leaders, regardless of party, come together to move the nation forward on issues of this magnitude.
NAMI will prepare a more detailed analysis of the final regulations after close examination. There is still disappointment: the regulations will cover about 85 percent of the nation's population, but gaps in coverage exist. The regulations do not apply to managed care plans through Medicaid or the equally vital Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Some of our most vulnerable people are still being left behind.
There is still a challenging road ahead. NAMI will continue working to ensure vigorous implementation and enforcement and to build on a still rapidly evolving, integrated health care system.
The Kroger Community Rewards Program is giving up to $4 million to non-profit organizations this year.
NAMI is lucky enough to be one of them, but we need your help.

Throughout the IOOV presentation, audience members are encouraged to offer feedback and ask questions.

Mental illness, an often isolating illness, affects one in five people. It affects persons of any age, race, religion or socioeconomic status. It affects the entire family. Mental illnesses are biological brain disorders and can disrupt a person's thinking, feelings, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. Mental illnesses are treatable medical conditions. Thanks to research and medical advances in medications and treatment, recovery is possible. Many people feel isolated by mental illness due to the stigma and misinformation surrounding it. If your life has been touched by mental illness, you are not alone.
NAMI of Hamilton County is a grass-roots education, support and advocacy organization founded in 1979. We offer educational programs, support groups and an information and referral phone line. We work together with our national organization NAMI and our state affiliate NAMI Ohio. The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Hamilton County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization under federal tax guidelines.

Marketing Your Home Business
There are many different ways to market your home business whether online or off. Most important to remember is not to limit yourself to marketing Internet businesses to online marketing and "real world" business to "real world" advertising.
While many brick and mortar businesses know enough to have websites and possibly online shopping carts, few online businesses expand their marketing plan to include offline advertising.
Business cards are easy and inexpensive to create. VistaPrints offers cards free of cost – you pay only for shipping. Pass these cards out to people you meet at parties, gatherings, work related events and to people you meet throughout your regularly scheduled day.
Brochures (services) or Catalogs (products) – Depending on what your blogs/sites sell you can display brochures or catalogs in local stores.
Flyers – Similar to brochures except flyers are usually one sheet and contain less information than brochures. You can pass out flyers or leave them in doorways to get people to visit your sites/blogs.
Magnetic Signs – Several business supply stores offer custom signs and letters that are magnetized and can be stuck right to the sides or back of your vehicle. You should keep the wording simple and short but that takes advantage of the most space for your money.
As an Internet Marketer you have to take advantage of every traffic source available. Don't make the mistake of thinking your customer base ends at your desktop.

love this item
It fits me very well and just like what picure shows
June 15, 2013
Cute shirt. Don't love that the back part is not the chiffon like the front, but I like everything else.
June 9, 2013
Cute top
I purchased this top at a sale price so I did get an amazing deal. It is very cute and easy to wear. I never go wrong with my purchased at the Limited.
June 2, 2013
Great, color is odd
I have the black shirt like this and love it. So I ordered this one and the color is not what I expected it is more of a lavender and the embroidery has an odd yellow color in it. It is okay but I would have liked it more if it would have been more grey with white/black embroidery.
May 30, 2013
Nice top
I got this in black and it is really a cute top to wear with jeans or white pants.
May 30, 2013
Great Shirt but Color Off
I received this shirt yesterday. Just so that other purchasers are aware, I wanted to write a review because the color is very different in person versus what is pictured online. It's a very dark gray, I'd say slate. The lighter embroidery at the bottom is neon yellow, not cream like it looks in the picture. Not what I expected so I'll probably be returning it.
May 23, 2013
I loved this item! It can be dressed up with a cropped ankle pant and a cute pair of heels, or dressed down with a cute walking short. A must buy!!
April 24, 2013
Must have!
This top is beautiful! It looks great with capris, slacks, and skirts. Since it's sheer, pairing it with a cami works well...fits well not too big not too small.

Lovely painting
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
This one is beautiful:
The clouds really stir your emotions and the flora in the foreground adds a lot of interest. And I'm very fond of moonlight and the color blue. The picture is worth a thousand words!
The greatest gift I ever received was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
I feel winter when I watch that painting,beautiful
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
This is a painting of one of angelpugs' babies, she said he could show you all..
Merry Christmas to all...
This is my noah and i thank you both so much as this is the greatest gift you and karl mean so much to us as most know tink and karl are a part of our family a very special part.a5055fea.jpg

Friday Night Fab Five: Rewind
Hi everyone and welcome to this week's Friday Night Fab Five where I list 5 things I am currently obsessed with this week. You know what, I'm going to rewind this week and repost a Fab Five I wrote last year. I thought this would be a great way to share a little bit more about me with all of you that may have missed it the first time (or I'm being totally lazy about writing a new Fab Five, you decide!) :P
Anyhoo, this Fab Five comes to you all the way from April 2009. *shocked gasp* Oh yeah, I went back all the way to April of 09, snap! This was originally titled "This Happened, I Swear!" and includes some humiliating things I experienced that I thought I would repost for your continued enjoyment. :D
So get in your DeLorean, fill up your tank with plutonium (please tell me someone gets that reference) and let's get started! :D
Originally Posted April 2009:

I can't decide if this is an awesome idea, an arrogant idea or an idea that I will immediately regret as soon as I hit "publish". I decided to go ahead with it because in the World Of Blogging, nothing is quite as powerful as the feeling you can post whatever you want with no retribution whatsoever. And since I'm power-hungry *rawr* here is this week's Friday Night Fab Five:
1. In the eighth grade, I auditioned for "The New Mickey Mouse Club". I was rejected and as I was leaving the room, the Casting Director stopped me and asked me to sing the song I had prepared. I had one of those, "It's happening!" only-in-Hollywood type of moments until half way through the first verse of my song he stops me and very politely tells me to get out. So had I been able to sing, I may have been a Mousekateer and have my very own "Behind The Music" by now.
2. On picture day in the fifth grade, we had a totally cheesy photographer that was making stupid jokes to get me to laugh. I was trying to hold in the laughs and as a result blew snot out of my nose at the very moment he snapped the picture. Luckily, my class was standing in line behind me and saw the whole thing. Ironically, the class bully came up to me afterwards and said, "Don't worry about it, that kind of thing just happens".
3. When I was around 5 or 6, I was at the grocery store with my mom. They had one of those big glass door freezers that holds bags of ice and I wondered to myself how cold it was in there once the door was closed. As Momma was checking out, I opened the door, climbed in and the door closed behind me. It was then that I realized that I couldn't get the door opened and it was also then that Momma noticed I was gone. I spent a minute or two watching her run back and forth in front of the freezer yelling my name. When she finally saw where I was, she was laughing so hard at me standing on bags of ice looking quite satisfied with myself that the manager had to come and open the door to let me out. P.S.-I was fine and yes, that freezer is cold with the door closed.
4. I have yet to understand why chocolate and potatoes come from plants but they don't help you lose weight. Hello? I figure that's a question I'll ask God while I'm filling my plate at the Potato Bar and Chocolate Buffet in Heaven.
5. When I was pregnant, Chris, Momma and myself went to Babies R Us to look at crib bedding. While there I accidentally farted and instinctively said, "Oops, sorry y'all!" really loud. This wouldn't have been so bad except it was then that I noticed a sales associate sitting directly behind my backside at the special ordering desk. Oops!
And there you have it, this week's (old) Friday Night Fab Five! So you know I have to ask:
What are some of your less than perfect moments?

I LOVED every one of those. Hilarious!!
- Carmen said...
Laughing so hard I stalled the DeLorian and now stuck here in cringe city. Heeeelp! LOL Oh dear - My most embarrassing moment to date was getting a tad tipsy, falling over the bouncer at a pub on a night out, landing flat on my bum, grappling at anything to keep me up and yanking my sister down with me. Best part was my friend stepping over my sister and the bouncer to try and help me up but we all had such giggles none of us could breathe let alone move.
- ellen s. said...
omg. i am rolling! you KNOW we have all been there at that last one ;) well maybe just me...and i wasn't even prego!!!!!!
- Stefanie Valentine said...
Oh Maggi, my sides are hurting so much from all the laughing! I have just woken a sleeping Mr V with all the shaking on the bed!

I love the freezer story. It is crazy what kids think of. When I was about 5 or 6, I lived in NYC. My grandma had just took me shopping for a bathing suit and water shoes. I wore the water shoes home. I remember seeing a wooden board on the sidewalk with a nail sticking out of it. I immediately wondered if I stepped on it, would it go through my shoe. Long story short, it did and rubbing alcohol was involved. I cried for hours.
- Karyn Bernard (French Charming) said...
Oh my gosh Maggi, I think I might pass out! I swear I have never laughed this hard in my entire life and I ain't no spring chicken.
Good grief, I even hyperventilated trying to catch my breath and thank you for ruining my eye make-up too! Oh God this is a complete riot! Whew...still trying to catch my breath!
Maggi, I really think you may have missed your calling...you either need to do a stand up routine or write for a comedy show...whew...still trying to catch my breath and not pee my pants all at the same time.
Thanks for the best laugh, hyperventilating, nearly passed out and peed my pants experience ever! - 2/19/2010 8:41 PM

- Melissa said...
LMAO, this is awesome...
K, the very worst for me was when I was 13, I was a horrible brat of a child who was constantly giving my mom filthy looks. One day, I was backing away from the kitchen table, mouthing off about something when I fell over the open dishwasher(which I didn't realize was open). Okay, so that's kinda funny, right? Only that's NOT the funny part...you wanna know what the funny part is, I fell on the cutlery, on my ass...when I stood up, a fork stuck out of my left butt cheek as a shuffled off to the bathroom muttering to myself. After my mom stopped laughing so hard she almost had a bladder emergency, she came to help me remove the oddly positioned utensil from my arse.
Stick a fork in me, I'm DONE, sista! - 2/19/2010 9:11 PM
- Denise said...
hahahaahahah! maggi. love the freezer story. hahahahha.
i have a door story too. I was 3 or 4, playing hide and seek with my cousins, so i hid behind the kitchen door that gives a good hiding place. I hid there for about an hour and when i started hearing my family panic the more i felt good about my hiding spot. So they called the police and thought i was kidnapped. When i heard about the police i got scared. My mom said they found me cos they see water coming out from the back of the door and when they opened the door, it was me on the floor sleeping and at the same time peeing.
I am Denise Katipunera
well that's my story. - 2/19/2010 9:59 PM

Wow, Maggi. That was so brave of you to share! But it's good to laugh at the silly things we all do (like the time I actually tried eating soap so my mom didn't have to wash my mouth out with it. Unfortunately, it was Borax!!!). Have a great night!

LMAO! Who hasn't had these moments?... well except for the auditioning thing.
