Both events are free..."
In the Forums,
gsarrowood seeks help regarding some jms packaging confusion in Glassfish: "I have developed a client that connects to GF2u2 via JMS. I need to make it robust regarding disconnects, etc. I came across a sun doc for the MQ4.1 which according to the glassfish docs, was the MQ that was included in GF. My confusion is this: normal includes are jmx.jms.Connection. Using the event listener refered to in the docs which notifies me of JMS startup, shutdown, reconnects, etc, require me to replace this Connection with com.sun.messaging.jms.Connection. Its my understanding that "java.*" and "javax.*" are 'standard' while any "com..*" package is not really part of the standard jdk an may go away or be migrated into the standard at a later date. So, I guess my question is, is my assumption correct? Is it safe to use the com.sun.* connections (and other related objects) in my app?"
nicoley shares lessons learned in Two methods for capturing Wonderland error messages: "I just spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the location of my trace files on Windows, so I thought I'd share the secret in case anyone else is wondering where these files are stored. Backing up a little bit - whenever I run Wonderland, I always make sure my Java Console is visible in case there's a problem, If something bad happens, I can copy and paste the log file and send it off to someone to look at. How you enable the console is different on the different platforms. On Windows Vista, you open your control panel and look for and open the Java control panel. Then go to the "Advanced" tab. Expand the "Java console" item and click "Show console." This will open a console window every time you run Wonderland using Java Web Start. The problem is, if your client crashes completely, the Java console window will go away along with the client window, taking all your valuable error messages with it. In order to capture any errors that might have been generated when the client crashed, you'll need a trace file..."
boutell wonders How to avoid @PostConstruct on page Faces beans during postback?: "Hello, we're using GlassFishV2/JSAS9.1 with Mojarra 1.2_04-b22-p05 for a large project, and experiencing performance issues on form-less JSF commands when used in conjonction with @PostConstruct annotations. I feel this is an architectural issue I'm not able to resolve though, so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on whether I'm missing something, there is some known workaround or it's a known JSF problem? The scenario is as follows: Page my.jsp references Faces Beans MyFB.java; MyFB has @PostContruct method, which execute expensive logic to initialize the data model before rendering phase.."

|The Game Story:
|BOSTON, MA - Friday, May 23, 2008 � Rochester Rattler�s attackman John Grant, Jr. (Delaware �99) collected six goals, one two-point goal and one assist to earn Bud Light MVP honors as the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse (MLL) were defeated by the Rattlers by a score of 17-14, in front of 9,072 fans at Harvard Stadium on Friday night.
With the loss, the Cannons dropped to a 1-1 record on the season, and the Rattlers remained unbeaten with a record of 2-0.
The man of the first quarter was attackman Matt Alrich (Delaware �04), with a stick on every point that the Cannons scored in the frame. Alrich started the Cannons off with a 3-0 run, scoring all three goals unassisted within the first three minutes and 45 seconds of the game. The Rattlers then stole momentum and scored four goals, taking a 4-3 lead, before Alrich returned to the field scoring his fourth unassisted goal at the 10:38 mark and assisting on a goal by rookie midfielder Josh Porcell (UMBC �07) at 12:19. The goal was Porcell�s first of his MLL career in just his first career game. The quarter ended with the Rattlers tying the game at five goals apiece.
The Cannons and Rattlers traded the lead back and forth throughout the second quarter, with neither team taking full control of the game. Alrich added another unassisted goal to his career-best game at 5:04, tying the score at 6-6. The Rattlers took a 7-6 lead, but couldn�t hold it for long as attackman John Christmas (Virginia �05) got a shot past Rattlers goalie Mike Levin (Brown �04) to collect his second goal of the season at 11:30. Another goal from the Rattlers gave them the lead again by a score of 8-7, until midfielder Matt Poskay (Virginia �06) scored his first power play goal of the season at 14:07. Midfielder Brett Bucktooth (Syracuse �06) earned the assist on Poskay�s tally, taking both teams into the locker room with the score deadlocked at 8-8.
Midfielder Tom Zummo (NYIT �05) started off the Cannon�s scoring in the third quarter with his second tally of the year to give the Cannons a 9-8 lead at 1:07. After another Rattlers point, Alrich took the lead back for the Cannons and continued to establish a new career high with his sixth goal of the game at 5:30. Defenseman Chris Passavia (Maryland �04) increased the lead to 11-9 at the 7:01 mark, before the Rattlers brought the game back to within one goal. Christmas and Bucktooth tallied the final two goals of the quarter, at 14:21 and 14:49 respectfully, to give the Cannons a 13-10 lead at the end of the third segment.
The Rattlers took off on a four-goal run at the start of the final quarter until Poskay stopped the charge with his second goal of the game at 9:40 and brought the game back to a 14-14 tie. The Rattlers then ended the game with four unanswered goals for the 17-14 win with the go-ahead goal scored at 10:01 of the quarter.
Goalie Jake Coon (Nazareth �00) stopped 25 of 41 shots in the loss. Levin earned the win with 16 saves on the 30 shots he faced.

Chance Showers/T-StormsSeptember 19th, 2013 at 2:11 pm by Bill Steffen under ArtPrize, Bill's Blog, Weather
Here's radar and a satellite loop. We will continue to have a chance of a shower or t-storm through at least the midday. SPC has moved the Slight Risk Area farther west and the area is now pretty much everyone in Eastern Michigan, east of US 127. Thursday evening's storms in E. Iowa and S. Wisconsin produced many wind gusts of 40-65 mph, with several dozen reports of wind damage. Severe storms produced large hail and wind damage in Minnesota earlier today. One person was injured.
Thursday AM rainfall: 2.12″ Hart, 2″ White Cloud, 1.9″ near Muskegon St. Park, 1.75″ Hesperia, 1.6″ Mears, 1.57″ Traverse City, 1.06″ Orleans (Ionia Co.), 1.05″ near Holland, 0.98″ Allendale, 0.42″ Benton Harbor, 0.18″ Big Rapids, 0.11″ G.R. airport. The clouds are holding down temperatures at this point. Thunderstorms moved thru N. Illnois, thru the Chicago area and into N Indiana Weds. night, brushing far southern Berrien and SW Cass Counties. Hail fell in Melrose Park, Rolling Meadows and Des Plaines, Illinois, with 1″ diameter hail in the Lakeview area of Chicago. Power lines were downed in Sandwich, Illinois – west of Chicago. There's flooding in the Chicago area. There was standing water impeding traffic on Lakeshore Dr. in Chicago and over 3.5 Monticello and Francesville Indiana, with 3.3″ in Whiting, Indiana. Valparaiso Univ. had 1.5″ of rain in an hour. . We'll see more rain and scattered stormstoday, late Thurs. night (after 1 am) into Friday, where everyone should see significant rain (1/2 to 1″ possible).
The convective outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center show a Slight Risk Area for today over much of Wisconsin and a "See Text" for N. Indiana and NW Ohio for Friday. West Michigan is in the General Thunderstorm Outlook for each day.
Temperature departure from average for Sept. 1-18: Grand Rapids +0.7°, Holland +0.2°, Lansing -0.7°, Jackson -0.5°, Kalamazoo +1.0°, Battle Creek +0.9°. Lots of warm air in the center of the country. Highs Weds: 95 Pierre SD, everyone in Nebraska was in the low-mid 90s, 88 St. Louis, 94 Wichita KS and Oklahoma City, 97 Dallas. Cool air is starting to move in.

Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
"In 2011 we are likely to see a reapportionment that assigns more seats in the House and more electoral college votes to Southern States, Western states, as has been the pattern for the last several decades."
States swap seats and redraw Congressional district boundaries every ten years based on population shifts. And both political parties look to benefit from the process. This year Republicans may have an edge through nationwide gains at the state level — that's where the lines are redrawn.
"I think we're likely to see a polarization of the country in this process to an extent we have not seen before in redistricting. What does that mean for the outcome of the process? It means that more of these plans will end up in court."
The final Census Bureau population numbers are set to come out later in December. A formula is then used to officially calculate how many House seats each state gets.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- It's beginning to look a little like ArtPrize. The fifth edition of this city's "radically open" art competition opens Wednesday, September 18.
Thursday, large outdoor installments could be found around downtown; indoor exhibitions are filling fast and workers of all kinds are rushing to meet Wednesday's deadline.
Contractors were constructing a garden on Sheldon Avenue outside the ArtPrize Hub. They pledged to be finished by Friday.
Inside the Hub, last year's Grand Prize winner, Adonna Khare, was reinstalling her winning entry, 'Elephants,' the massive drawing that she said "changed her life."
Thursday night, the first in a flurry of kickoff parties was held at the new ArtPrize Clubhouse, a venue reserved for subscription members of ArtPrize.
"The ArtPrize Clubhouse is all about creating relationships and helping people dive deeper into the ArtPrize experience," said Amelea Pegman, community engagement director. "With the Clubhouse, we want to create a place for people to make connections, where ArtClub members can meet artists, where artists can meet sponsors, and where media can meet the community that is central to ArtPrize."
The Clubhouse is above J. Gardella's Tavern, at 11 Ionia SW.

On the Homecoming
Last week a big thing happened in the Clark family. Our parents came home from their Church Mission in St. Louis. They were there for three years--three really long years it seemed. When they drove into town last week they stopped by seven of my sibling's houses one-by-one (except my brother Steve who lives in St. George). They met grand babies born while they were gone and hugged most of their forty-three grandchildren.
Our house was last on the route because they are staying in our basement guestroom. They bought a house in our neighborhood (around the corner from where we were raised) and it's being remodeled. At this point it's going to be a couple weeks before they can move in.
This has been a blessing for my family. Anson was only two and Ever two months, when they left for Missouri. My children have never really known my parents. Now every day they wake up and ask if "Umi and Grandpa are awake?" Ever has taken to my mother as if they are inseparable best friends. I suspect it has something to do with my mother's bright, fancy tubes of lipstick and her willingness to let Ever go through her suitcases for treasures. Yesterday my dad bought a chainsaw and became Anson's hero. Chup too, at my father's insistence he opened the brand new tool and proceeded to chop down a far-overgrown lilac bush in the backyard by the outside fireplace.
And our shy Erin is finally warming up to Grandpa thanks to an abundance of licorice and grandfatherly patience.
Last night we sat outside in the front yard, in the cool of the post-sunset evening and talked over my failed front garden beds. My front garden beds have long given me frustration, nothing grows on the west-facing plot thanks to the killing heat of the summer sun. It's frustrating how much anxiety I have over this failed endeavor--guilt tinged too, because I come from a prestigious family line of impeccable gardeners.
"Oh, we're going to help you with this," my mom said surveying the damage.
"Go get me a shovel and I'll start over turning it right now," my dad ordered.
And as he shoveled and mom plotted and I weeded I remembered how nice it feels to have parents. I had forgotten how much I still need them.

Courtney, I couldn't agree more about just how tremendously wonderful parents are. I am 44, I rely on them in many ways still, and their support is unfailing - although I live across the globe. (Bet your mom gets tears in her eyes when she reads your post - and your dad even more!)
Always best wishes

Wow! I "remember" when they left! I'm so glad for all of you that they are home again.
Oh parents - you are all so blessed to have your parents to love and hug (you'd better or I'm coming after you :-) ) My mother has been gone 26 years and my father 3. I "talk" to them all the time but it's not the same.

LOVED reading this post Courtney - I lost my dad a little over a year ago - he was my hero - I loved him more than words can say - oh how I miss him each and every day - I'm thankful my mom is still with me - although she doesn't live close by - I try and see her whenever I can - keep treasuring your parents homecoming - keep making those beautiful family moments - they are treasures that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Wonderful! My parents recently got a medical release because of my mom's heart condition. We thought she was going back right away and they have not been able to go yet. I think of my parents being able to go and see each of their children during this unexpected time home. It has been a blessing.

- Lola said...
I want to write something--but not sure what. I will say how priceless-both the relationship you have with your parents and that they are back and that you need and want them in your love and I am sure, vice versa.
I never really had parents in the 'normal' sense and I was orphaned by 7 and on my own at 15.5!

Unless you are dead set on flowers, you might try planting tomatoes in your front garden beds. I had a similar problem with nothing liking the full sunny spot and the tomatoes LOVE the heat and full sun. I plant only one tomato plant every year because I get over 100 tomatoes off it. I hand them out to all my neighbors, eat them until I'm sick, and make lots of salsa.

My Mom moved out of state last year after having quite the difficult time coping with some serious family problems. A lot of things have changed between her and myself. She no longer resembles the Mom that I grew up knowing. Life has dealt her some rough bumps in the road in the past decade. Rough bumps for all of us in what used to be a closely bonded family.
I no longer have a Mom I can turn to for comfort, for laughs, for safety and that feeling of "home". Your blog entry reminds me of all that I have lost, all that I miss and all that I will never experience again in this lifetime. I know family can be frustrating at times but it fills a spot in one's heart that nothing else can.
Without family, it truly does feel like being lost with no compass to guide one back to safety. On days like today, all I have are memories. Cherish your family, your parents.
I even miss the yard work we used to do together :) Good times ..

Thank you for this post! I have a 12-day old baby and a 2 year old who thinks his grandparents walk on water. They used to live 15 minutes away and he had sleepovers there every week. They left 10 days ago to be mission presidents in Mexico. It has been hard, I still need my parents! But this account of the sweetness of homecoming makes me excited for how great it will be. I truly believe the LOrd makes up the difference. Congratulations to you all!

Courtney, this is such a sweet, wonderful post! I do have a question...I am not Mormon, so I am fairly unfamiliar with your religion. During the three years that your parents were in St. Louis, were they unable to return to Utah to visit? To be more specific, are they not allowed to leave their assigned location for the duration of their assignment? (I know that their family could visit them during that time, though.) Thanks!

Nothing beats mom and dad.
I had the pleasure of meeting your parents on several occasions during their mission- I was a new concert. While I'm not sure how I feel about the church at this point, they were wonderful examples and very loving people. Thanks for sharing them with us for a few years.

How many times have you seen your child howl in pain for something you can't believe hurts that much? Or, remember seeing your child get anxious and tearful just thinking about how much a vaccination might hurt?Kids feel pain differently, and the anxiety and anticipation in their minds are often worse than the actual pain. As a parent, I think seeing your child in pain is one of the most difficult aspects of parenting. If only we could take it for them!Sometimes kids are too young to really be able to tell how much pain they feel. Imagine asking a child how much something hurts on a scale of one to 10. So we use a special "pain scale" of pictures of children's faces, and ask them to point to the face that most closely matches how much pain they feel.At Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, our philosophy is that as much as possible pain should be eliminated or controlled. Sometimes distraction helps, such as when a child life specialist encourages a child to "blow away the pain" into a pinwheel or by blowing bubbles while an injection is taking place.In the emergency department our staff members use a quick acting analgesic device called a "JTip" that quickly numbs the skin to prevent the pain of injections.
For painful or invasive procedures a sedation team administers medicine that eliminates the pain and the memory of the event. More than 5,000 children a year receive sedation for procedures at the children's hospital.I'll never forget the relief I felt at the moment when I realized that my daughter, while being wheeled off for surgery, was actually comfortable and happy because of some light sedation she had received. In fact, she was blowing bubbles as they took her to her surgery. If we make it easier for kids, it's also easier for the parents. What experiences have you had with your child in pain, and what do you wish could have been done differently?

Alford Funeral Arrangements Announced
Funeral services have been set for Jimmie Alford, the longtime fundraising and nonprofit governance guru who died suddenly yesterday of an apparent heart attack. He was 69.
The memorial, visitation and service will be held Saturday, December 22 at the First United Methodist Church at The Chicago Temple, 77 W. Washington St., in Chicago. Public visitation will begin at 1 p.m. and the memorial service at 2 p.m. The service will be followed by a celebration of Jimmie's life at the University Club, Michigan Room.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, please send contributions be sent to benefit the Jimmie R. Alford Scholarship at North Park University, 3225 West Foster Avenue #6, Chicago, Ill. 60625.
Remembrances poured in from around the nonprofit sector as news of his death circulated. Even his competitors in the consulting space remembered him fondly.
"Our profession has lost one of the leaders of our generation," said Robert Hartsook, chairman of Hartsook Companies in Kansas City, Mo. He called Alford "a great spirit of professional fundraising who set his mark not only through his personal example, but his philanthropy. In business, he was a great competitor and a good person," said Hartsook.
"Jimmie lived philanthropy. He believed it, thought about it, practiced it, cared about it, trained others to be involved in it," said Nancy Raybin, senior consultant and principal at Marts & Lundy, Inc. in Lyndhurst, N.J. "It is quite sad to know that a leader, a friend and a hero is gone. Jimmie was a giant, and his ongoing influence will be missed," she said.
Association of Fundraising Executives Chair-elect, Bob Carter, called Alford a "true pioneer" in the fundraising industry. "I was fortunate enough to present Jimmie with the Lifetime Achievement AFP Award several years ago and he has continued to make contributions to benefit not only the profession but the millions served. We shall miss him," said Carter, president of the Bob Carter Companies in Sarasota, Fla.
"Jimmie was a highly respected competitor in our industry for many years ands served clients with expertise and integrity. We served on the committees at AAFRC and he was always objective and wise in helping shape our industry," said Carter.
Alford and his wife, Maree Bullock, were presented with the 2012 "Spirit of Youth" award last month from the National Runaway Switchboard (NRS). They are long-time supporters of the Chicago, Ill.-based agency, which recognized their work and dedication in helping to keep runaway, homeless and at-risk youth safe and off the streets.
Alford held a master's degree in administration and organization behavior, in addition to an honorary Doctor of Laws from North Park University and an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Aurora University. He served as member of the Board of Directors for North Park University and the advisory board of North Park's Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management. He was executive in residence at Axelson and taught graduate courses in nonprofit management as well as seminars at Notre Dame University.
Alford also was a board member for Aurora University and The Barat Education Foundation, a member of the Business Advisory council of Trinity International University, as well as chair of Families International and former board chair of the Alliance for Children & Families. Alford was editor and chapter author for the book, "Building and Managing An Asset Base," published by the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy's New Directors for Philanthropic Fundraising program.

Stacy Bateman, owner of Stacy's Travel and a certified travel consultant
1. How long have you owned a travel agency? How long have you been in the travel business?
"I have been a Certified Travel Consultant for 21 years. I opened Stacy's Travel in Monroe 15 years ago. I am a lifelong resident of Monroe County and plan to keep working and volunteering in Monroe.
"Over the years, I have become a Sandals Certified Specialist, a Hawaii Destination Specialist, Jamaica Destination Specialist, Disney Specialist, and also hold certifications for several cruise lines and vacation destinations."
2. Has the economy prevented people from booking vacations? If so, how long has this been going on? In your opinion, do you see it getting better any time soon?
"We have seen a steady increase in our business over the last two years. We are the only travel agency in Monroe and have been so busy that I've hired two new travel consultants this year. We have five agents and three administrative staff.
"Perhaps the stresses of the economy have made people want to get away! It seems families may be cutting corners in other places, but are definitely still traveling."
3. If people can't afford long-distance destinations, where can they go in the state or in the region that would be more affordable? What is the cheapest means of transportation right now – plane, bus or train? What would you suggest for those on a tight budget?
"Rail trips! Sometimes it is easily overlooked by people wanting to get away for an affordable trip or even a weekend getaway. Rail trips to Chicago or Toronto are popular and many times kids are free on the rail.
"Hotel and show tickets can also be added onto your trip. Keep in mind if you are traveling to Toronto you need a valid passport."
4. Where are Monroe County people going this summer? Where are the most popular destinations and why? What are the best deals currently available?
"We have had an overwhelming amount of travelers going to Europe this year. Escorted tours and Eurorail passes as well as hotel packages have been very popular. We have also had numerous Hawaii trips and cruises as well as Walt Disney World packages.
"All inclusive has been the best 'deals' out there right now. An all inclusive will get you your airfare, hotel accommodations, roundtrip transfers to hotel, as well as unlimited food, drinks, alcohol, non-motorized water sports and nightly entertainment. The best part is that it is all paid for before you go, this makes it easier to budget for your trip.
"We have seen spectacular deals to the Dominican Republic and the Cancun/Riviera Maya areas this year.
"The cruise lines are also offering early booking specials for those passengers who book a minimum of five months in advance."
5. Can you provide tips on how to find the best deal?
"Call your travel agent! Many times people spend countless hours on the Internet trying to find the best deals. We can always beat or match your Internet deal. Let us do the work for you. Keep in mind that many Internet specials often times do not include taxes in their quotes or have many connections in their flight itineraries.
"Also, using a travel agent will allow you to put down a minimum deposit and makes payments along the way until your final payment is due."

Find items normal searches never see!
Misspelled Titles
Misspelled titles can be a real problem for both eBay sellers and you. Some sellers just cannot spell. Others try to be original with their titles, adding characters and abbreviations that are perfectly understandable when visible, but hide them from a properly spelled search.
To err is human, and when sellers misspell the titles of their eBay listings, you will often find some really divine bargains! If you are looking to buy at rock bottom prices, misspelled titles may be just the eBay listings that fit the bill and BayCrazy's custom misspelled title search makes finding them a no-brainer!
Spelling errors make a seller's eBay listings nearly invisible, which results in no-bid, low-bid items. We say nearly invisible because the BayCrazy misspelled title search puts you just a click away from these bargain basement items.
Always a ground-breaker (and a treasure-hunter), we dig deep to find misspelled titles and we make the corrections so that you can hit pay dirt on your first try. All you need do to find a misspelled bargain at BayCrazy is use our simple search and spell it right!
If you're not sure that you've spelled it right, check your spelling here. (After all, anyone can make a
misteak mistake!)

I think Dee pouring them into her mouth in panel #3 is what sells me on this one.
Dee has the most efficient approach to eating malt balls with chopsticks! We all know she's such a smart kid.
Of course, now I'd love to get some chopsticks and malt balls and see if I could pick them up…I can use chop sticks, but with malt balls? Well, I'd love the challenge, and see how far I can go before using Dee's approach. :)
Oh Vachel You are so Evil! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!!! Don't ever change…
Sorry for the duplicate. As you can see, I tried to correct a misspelling. Needless to say, you can't do that in Gravatar.
@Jill, if you can't pick them up, try sucking on them for 10 seconds before putting them in the bowl. ;-)

What some of you fail to realize is from the day a child is born til they turn three, thats when their ability to learn is incredibly high.
Knowing this, I've been teaching my two year old sing language. Not because we know anyone with a hearing disability. Its just useful knowledge. We've been teaching her since she was a few months old and now she can hold almost an entire conversation with signing.
Grover Cleveland?
As for the video, as other people have stated, kids that little have amazing memories. Think about all they have to learn... how to speak, to preform different actions such as using different toys, crawling and walking, as well as memorize the names and faces of all the people in their lives. I would think that memorizing people they see in "real life" is harder than from a book. People not in a book do things like change their clothes and hair, and the baby sees them in different enviroments. The presidents in the book were the same every time.
... But that's just what I think.
I feel sorry for that baby.

Summer on the Slough
We are fans of the Columbia Slough. It is an overlooked environmental gem that weaves it way through east and north Portland. We love Whittaker Ponds, Smith and Bybee Lakes, and the historic Children's Arboretum.
We spent part of last lazy Sunday at Whittaker Ponds after hitting Beacon Rock State Park. We watched fish, herons, swallows, and enjoyed the breeze through the trees.
Want to get a real feel for the Columbia Slough this summer? The Watershed Council has a variety of events that are just right for you!

Obama wins second term; congressional control remains the same
President Obama decisively won a second term, and the Democrats retained the U.S. Senate. But the Republicans retained control of the U.S. House.
The crowd at the DFL Party in St. Paul erupted when NBC made the call around 10:15. CNN soon followed, as did the Associated Press. The calls came after Obama was projected to have won Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado.
By early morning, Obama had won more than 300 electoral votes, and led the popular vote 50% to 48%.
Check back later this morning for complete coverage and analysis.

Yes, and the silence is golden
While I tune in to conservative radio now and again just to attempt to understand them, now is a particularly good time to hear their reactions.
Upon licking their wounds, will they go back to the big tent and inclusion effort? Will they realize the majority now supports the minorities? Will they realize *they* are now the minority? Are we done with the talk of rape and birth control? Can we move forward with healthcare and equal pay efforts? Will we get things done in Washington? Or will they miss the opportunity to get on board with the rest of the world and be more progessive and fair? Extreme social issues turned out to bad for their elections this time around, or will we discover that's truly their cause celebre?

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 17 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by MR Not as great as I thought it would be... The product had a lot of hype, but it did not deliver as expected. Yes the wrist support felt good, but it did not support as much as other wrist support products, and the grip was poor. Sometimes combining too many things at once, and making a hybrid product does not always come out as intended. August 11, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by dhart1961 Very good product This is my second pair and really like to use them. I only wish that the wrist strap was also made from leather as my first pair broke because the strap is made of a cloth material. Leather would last much longer. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Klangl7 Great product Exactly what I needed to increase my weight and reps March 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Captron WORKS AS ADVERTISED! Very happy with the product & would recommend them to everyone. March 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Extra4 They feel great!!! These are the best grips I've ever purchased. They feel great on my hands. I recommend these grips for any size hands. January 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by stevenA this product works The first time I used them I felt the support from the wrist straps and the comfort of the pads holding the weights. This is a must for lifting heavy weights. January 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by bulletwoods Best Gym Accesory I Have Ever Owned! I own gloves, wrist supports, and straps....but these have become hands down my favorite. They protect the palms like gloves but don't force you to leave them on or off all the time. I strap them on and use them for the things I need and let them hang for the ones I don't. The clay molds quickly and easily for a little padding and comfort and the neoprene and leather are both soft. Love that they can be used for both protection and in place of a strap allowing you to lift heavier. My hands have always had a hard time holding as much weight as my muscles were capable of lifting. These immediately made me able to shrug 20 pounds heavier. Great stuff! January 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Manny762 Awesome I like that I can use these wraps for grip and as straps. So far very durable keeps the wrist tight December 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Eric42 Excellent Made world of differents and worth paying the higher price compare to less expense ones. November 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by WarRoom Broke After One Sessiin I bought a pair yesterday. They broke during my first lift. Initially they were one of the best pieces of equipment I have ever purchased for weight training. Poor construction. November 14, 2014

How I Met Your Mother: Drumroll Please
The episode starts the morning after last week's episode. Marshall and Lilly immediately started pumping Ted for info
on his night after he entered the room. Turns out, he had mysteriously disappeared early on during the festivities, not
to be seen the rest of the evening. They've done it a couple of times before, but the writers love their flashbacks.
They continually use them really well, so I'm never going to complain as long as the quality keeps up. Ted retold his
adventures to Marshall and Lilly, and how he met the perfect girl; Victoria. It seemed like Victoria had had a couple
of bad wedding experiences before though, as she laid down some ground rules for her and Ted's night: No kissing, No
last names, No phone numbers, No contact after that one night. This would leave them with only the absolute best parts
of a relationship, allowing them to look back years later and realize that they had at least one perfect evening with
someone. And it would have been perfect, if both Ted and Victoria hadn't fallen head over heels for each other.
Back in the present, Ted realized just how great the night/Victoria was, so he decided to risk that perfect evening for an even more satisfying relationship. There was one snag in Ted's ride off into the sunset; Robin had now gained feelings for him. Something she didn't realize until seeing him in the arms of Victoria after she had returned to the wedding to surprise Ted. This smacks of Ross and Rachel I know, but I trust the writers, and honestly, who doesn't know a "Ross and Rachel" relationship; that couple that can just never get their timing right? So during his search for Victoria, Robin had to do a little searching (soul-searching people) of her own before finally deciding not to tell Ted. The episode ended with Ted entering Victoria's bakery, (she made the cake at the wedding, that's why she was there) and getting his first kiss with her. Is she the mother in question? Still don't know, but she's a damn good fit, and the rumors I've heard are that we will at least "see" the mother by the end of the year.
How I Met Your Mother manages to do romance, fate, and all that other fun stuff, without getting too sappy. It's about that quest to find your "better half" in today's world, and how it's not as easy as those who've got it make it out to be. Or is it? For those that were wondering, the song at the end of the episode was a version of Spit on a Stranger by the band Nickel Creek. You can purchase the song off of iTunes, but it's not the one that was in the show. Still a good song though, which is something else that they seem to be doing very well; a bevy of songs that just "fit". From Chumbawumba to Michael Buble, the always seem to have the right song for the right moment. I'm going to try and get an iMix up on iTunes of all the songs that have been on the show thus far, and will let you guys know as soon as I have it ready to go, since there seems to be a request every week along the lines of "what was that song". Let us know what you think!
This concludes the review portion of the article, so those not interested in me can leave now. I'm always alluding to how much Ted and I have in common on the show, and I've gotten a couple of reader comments, emails, or questions in the chat room asking me how so. The short answer is, I sincerely suck at two things in life: Girls and Bowling. I just never end up with anything that I would consider "a winner" in either category. For example, I'm currently completely smitten with my neighbor, the problem is, she has a boyfriend, and although I'm a total smooth talker, I clam up every time I'm around her. I fele like I'm in 6th grade all over again. Oh, and last week, I managed to get a gutter ball during bumper bowling. How is that even possible? This is so gonna come back and bite me in the butt.

We know: we already shared some excellent looks from this Fashion Week's front row elites. But as NYFW carries on, more and more celebrities and fashion demi-gods are bringing their a-game to the some of the week's best shows. So we can't help but go round two and share more great sightings of front row fashion.
In this lineup, we've got Anna Wintour not in pink tweed, Solange in a very literal shirt, the cast of Girls in coordinated outfits, as well as Kanye, Rachel Zoe, Kerry Washington, and others. If you weren't sure what colors you should be wearing this fall, these photos make it pretty clear: black and white. (You know black is "in" when even Anna will deign to drape herself in it.)
So many great looks: how is Fashion Week only halfway over?

this is some kind of spaceship or something.
