no arch support, but.....
By Margaret
from Toronto
I have been a HUGE fan of Tony's original cheek sandals, love the comfort and benefit of exercising my calf muscle, my legs never looked better. These sandals are narrow in width, so my bunion sticks out a bit, but it does not bother me at all. I am wearing them around the house due to the fabric on a foot bed. I bought a black pair in size 7, they fit true to size. Different CHEEKS, but like them a lot.
So healthy!
By Sharona
from St. Paul, Alberta
So great! Great construction, support where you need it, but it does take a bit to get used to them, but you need to make those muscles! I was getting so much foot painand I was wearing my Rx orthotics in my runners like I should. Well I noticed that the more I wor my sandals on my time of and days off, my feet (and joint of my great toe) felt so good, pain free. Then I would wear my orthotics and the pain returned. Changed myu orthotics into fresh shoes, and the pain was there still. Haven't worn those in a month, and mostly wore these and my feet and ankles feel great! After a pedicure when my feet were nice and soft and oiled up is the only time my feet would slide around inside. I can even navigate the rocks here on vacation in Georgian Bay in theese cheeks!

Comfy comfy comfy!!!
By Moi
from Orleans, Ontario
They are so lightweight and comfy. I have NO arches, so flip flops are my enemy. Not anymore! I get stability and comfort with these sandals all the while not having to buy the bulky arch supports. These ones are a little sportier looking than I first thought but I will wear them everywhere every day!!

Ok, but could be better
By Maria
from Victoria
They fit small (length-wise) had to return the 8's and ordered one pair in size 9. These are loose and my feet tend to slip about in them - they'll do for walking around the house.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Too Little
By Diane
from Kamloops, BC
I have returned this product because these sandals do not work for me -- ie not enough support being the main reason.

Local Sports Roundup, 2/28
Lake View girls soccer
Shootout win keeps Maidens in chase
The Lake View High School girls soccer team picked up two important points in the District 7-4A playoff race Wednesday with a shootout win over Lubbock High at San Angelo Stadium.
After the teams played to a 1-1 tie at the end of regulation, Lake View outscored the Lady Westerners 5-4 in a shootout that went to the sixth shooter.
The Maidens improved to 6-9-1 overall and 0-2-0-6 in district for 4 points, while Lubbock High moved to 4-11-0, 1-0-3-3 for 6 points.
Lake View head coach Jill Baker said she was proud of her team's effort, especially after fullback Dallas Motes was injured early in the second half, leaving the Maidens with no substitutes.
"They played with a lot of heart and a lot of intensity," Baker said. "From the beginning of the game to the final whistle, you could tell they wanted to win. We haven't seen that intensity the past couple of games. We had kind of lost, but we got it back tonight. We're ready to get back in it, and we definitely feel like we're back in it now."
Lake View entered the game three points behind Lubbock High for the fourth and final playoff spot, and the Maidens were able to inch one point closer. The game was originally scheduled for Monday but moved due to wintry conditions in Lubbock.
Taylor Moore scored her 13th goal of the season for Lake View to tie the game 1-1 at halftime. She beat "three of four people" on the dribble to score, Baker said.
Moore also scored in the shootout along with Jessie Padilla, Cassandra Pena, Leslie Montalvo, Alyssa Soto and goalkeeper Lacy Lenhart, who came on as the sixth shooter and hit the game-winner.
The Maidens will play again Tuesday at Frenship.

Today, tourism is one of the largest and dynamically developing sectors of external economic activities. Its high growth and development rates, considerable volumes of foreign currency inflows, infrastructure development, and introduction of new management and educational experience actively affect various sectors of economy, which positively contribute to the social and economic development of the country as a whole.
According to recent statistics, tourism provides about 10% of the world's income and employs almost one tenth of the world's workforce. All considered, tourism's actual and potential economic impact is astounding. Many people emphasize the positive aspects of tourism as a source of foreign exchange, a way to balance foreign trade. But there are also a number of other positive and negative sides of tourism's economic boom for local communities.
Tourism is an activity done by an individual or a group of individuals, which leads to a motion from a place to another. From a country to another for performing a specific task or it is a visit to a place or several places in the purpose of entertaining which leads to an awareness of other civilizations and cultures, also increasing the knowledge of countries, cultures, and history. Tourism has a direct impact on the national revenue for all touristic countries, it creates work opportunities, industries, and several investments to serve and raise nations performance and cultures, also distributes their history, civilization, and traditions.

The National Association of Career Travel Agents (NACTA) says independent travel consultants have been pulling away from mainstream and mid-market cruise lines to mitigate low cruise fares and non-commissionable fees (NCFs) and, instead, selling all inclusive vacations, luxury and river cruises and flexible, independent travel (FIT) packages.
"Our research shows it has been a natural progression for our travel consultants to opt for the higher yielding sales of luxury and small ship cruises, tours and FIT packages replacing the lower yielding cruise sales," NACTA President Ann van Leeuwen told independent travel consultant members attending a conference of NACTA Chapter Directors at the Grande Rivera Sandals resort in Jamaica.
NACTA itself is broadening their product portfolio beyond the contemporary cruise lines whose pricing practices return lower profits for members.
Van Leeuwen points to its strong and growing partnerships with luxury, river and small ship cruise partners like Crystal Cruises, AMAWaterways, Paul Gauguin, and Alaskan Dream Cruises, as well as new entrants to the market like Scenic Tours & CroisiEurope. NACTA's newest partnership with ITeXplorer will allow its members to build tailor-made multi-destination FIT packages for their clients in minutes.
"We are continuing to look for new partnerships that will increase client satisfaction, travel consultant productivity, sales and commissions," van Leeuwen stated.
More agents also are specializing so they can customize cruise and other travel for clients, van Leeuwen noted. NACTA cites ASTA's 2013 survey on the NACTA membership which shows a 16 percent shift in their business away from cruise sales since 2010, where 60 percent of the members overall business was cruise based, to 2013, which reported at 49 percent of their overall business.
Agents say they are finding it impossible to make enough money on commissions on inexpensive cruises, according to a new Travel Market Report article that shows shockingly low commissions on cruise sales.
NACTA will hold its annual conference at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix, October 30 – November 3, 2014. NACTA members will also participate in the Global Convention of its parent association, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), September 14-21, 2014, held for the first time at sea aboard Norwegian Cruises Norwegian Breakaway, a new cruise ship sailing out of New York.
"This convention and annual general meeting will give our agents a good look at one of the newest ships from a cruise line that values the sales our members generate for them," said Van Leeuwen.

On July 24, the FHFA announced that Freddie Mac is nearing completion of its first risk-sharing transaction, a direct debt issuance, that will assist Freddie Mac in transferring credit risk to the private sector on recently-acquired, single-family loans. FHFA Release.
On July 24, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) released its quarterly report to Congress, which, among other things: (i) summarized various SIGTARP investigations and (ii) discussed the rising redefaults of mortgages modified pursuant to HAMP. SIGTARP Report.
On July 26, Fitch released its criteria for rating servicing continuity risk in structured finance transactions. Fitch Report.

On July 25, the FHFA announced that it had settled its claims against UBS AG concerning mortgage-backed securities that UBS sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2004 and 2007. UBS agreed to pay a total of $885 million. The settlement covers federal and state securities claims concerning 33 separate RMBS securitizations that FHFA asserted against UBS in four separate lawsuits filed in 2011. The settlement also provides that the FHFA will not bring putback claims in connection with certain other securities covered by the agreement. UBS did not admit any liability in connection with the settlement. Release and Agreement.
On July 22, Judge Denise Casper of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts permitted plaintiff Capital Ventures International to pursue Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act claims against UBS Securities, LLC alleging that UBS made misrepresentations concerning credit ratings in connection with over $109 million in RMBS. The court had previously dismissed these claims, but permitted Capital Ventures to amend them, and UBS again moved to dismiss. Despite its conclusion that credit ratings are statements of opinion, the court held that Capital Ventures could pursue MUSA claims relating to those ratings because the complaint adequately alleged that UBS did not subjectively believe the opinions reflected by the credit ratings when it included them in the offering documents at issue. Specifically, Capital Ventures alleged that UBS knew the data regarding the loans on which the ratings allegedly were premised was faulty, and therefore could not have believed the ratings that were issued. Order.
On July 22, the UK law implementing the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) came into force. The scope of the AIFMD is broad (with a few exceptions), creating a tighter regulatory framework for alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs), including managers of investment trusts, hedge funds and private equity firms.
On July 23, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a new webpage to record permissions and passports granted under the AIFMD. The FCA is updating the Financial Services Register to make the necessary changes, and in the meantime, the FCA will publish the details of firms who have been granted the new AIFMD permissions and any associated management passports. Webpage.
On July 24, the FCA published the final notice that it issued to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (together, RBS) on July 16. Many of the problems at RBS detailed in the Notice arose as a result of significant system challenges posed by the takeover of ABN Amro Bank N.V. by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
RBS agreed to settle with the FCA at an early stage in their investigation and so qualified for a 30% reduction in the financial penalty imposed on them, from £8,029,100 to £5,620,300. The FCA found that:
This represents a failure in relation to 37% of transactions reportable by RBS during the Relevant Period. The FCA regarded these failures by RBS to be particularly serious because (i) the FCA has provided significant guidance to firms on how to report and check those reports; and (ii) during the Relevant Period the FCA published a number of enforcement actions taken in relation to similar failings by other firms. Final Notice. Press Release.
On July 22, the European Commission answered the question on whether a rolling spot Foreign Exchange on margin takes the form of a derivative contract or a contract for difference to be considered a financial instrument under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID).
The European Commission confirmed in its answer that a rolling spot FX contract can be indefinitely renewed, and no currency is actually delivered until a party affirmatively closes out its position, which exposes both parties to fluctuations in the underlying currencies. Hence, rolling spot foreign exchange contracts are a type of derivative contract relating to currencies and are considered financial instruments as defined under MiFID. Answer.
The FCA and the SEC published a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on July 19 on the supervision of the asset management industry, which came into force on July 22.
The accompanying press release states that the MoUs were concluded with 25 European Union (EU) and 3 European Economic Area (EEA) member-state regulators. They provide a framework for supervisory cooperation and exchange of information between the SEC and the EU/EEA member state national regulators in the asset management industry, as part of a long-term strategy to improve the oversight of entities in the industry that operate across national borders.
In May 2013, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) announced that it had approved cooperation agreements between EU regulators with responsibility for supervising Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and 34 of their global counterparts, including the SEC. These agreements are key in allowing the national regulators to monitor the way non-EU AIFMs comply with the AIFMD. Memorandum of Understanding. Press Release.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California health officials Wednesday declared electronic cigarettes a health threat that should be strictly regulated like tobacco products, joining other states and health advocates across the U.S. in seeking tighter controls as "vaping" grows in popularity.

Doomsday Preppers Week 13: Pain Is Good
This should be called the "last states" episode because they're focused on the final two to join the union, Alaska and Hawaii.
February 21, 2013 - 1:00 pm
David Lakota is a self-absorbed, sanctimonious, vision-seeing hippie who can kiss my moose. He doesn't like mankind, and holds himself above it. He lives in Hawaii, and is terrified that a massive tsunami will scour the low-lying coastal cities off the map. Because he's "special" and "spiritual" he believes the tiki tiki gods (or some other mystic crap) will give him warning the night before a tsunami to give him time to escape.
Because he's special.
David's arrogance aside, this isn't an irrational fear; Hawaii has been hit by more than 50 known tsunamis of various sizes and intensities over the years. Compounding the problem is that Hawaii imports 90 percent of its food, so if the ports are wrecked, it will be very difficult to offload supplies.
Rachaelle is David's new-age girlfriend, and she buys into his nuttiness. Their brilliant plan to survive an island-killing tsunami? They'll paddle 15 miles along the shoreline to reach a distant location with nothing but the clothes on their backs (or, in Rachaelle's case, a bikini) and live off the land.
Yeah… this is going to end well.
But before we even get off the beach, spiritual Dave manages to stab himself with his paddle in the foot, deeply. Since these geniuses didn't bring anything in the way of supplies, Rachaelle has him chew up the pulp of the noni plant, which she claims is one of the most medicinal plants on the islands, and then spit the chewed up mess concoction into the open, sandy wound. Did I mention that modern science has found virtually no medicinal use for the noni plant at all?
Gaping wound packed with fruit-spit, David and Rachaelle now tackle an ascent up a 4,000 foot mountain, barefoot.

Two Meals with a Friend with Food Allergies.
The below article was my intro to our weekly newsletter last week. To sign up for our top 10 posts of the week (a great way to simplify and cut through the clutter and noise), click image below.
Elephants are pretty big. It's the biggest land animal, and our web site—inspired by the aphorism of the six blind men and the elephant—is now one of the largest in the US devoted to yoga, organics, spirituality, adventure, and eco-responsible living generally.
But the movement that you and I believe in is something bigger than elephant—my own inspiration is less about growing elephant that using elephant to help galvanize fundamental change.
It's time for business to be of benefit. It's time for underappreciated yet vital work—non-profits, teachers—to be profitable.
It's time for kindness and thoughtfulness to be good business, and selfish exploitation (like, say, BP) to be a loser in the marketplace.
I'm not just talking about large corporations. On an immediate, local level we see kindness feed the bottomline, every day.
The other day I went to my favorite restaurant in Boulder. I was with a new friend, a lady who has a list of food allergies longer than most folks' grocery lists. She's not one of those choosey, picky eaters, either—she's apologetic, straightforward about her condition, and sees it as an imposition. I assured her that this thoroughly green-minded restaurant would be able to create something simple for her.
It was lunch. We asked for eggs (which were on the menu with other dishes, but not offered on their own). We were told "no," which is fine. We thought about going elsewhere, but wanted to enjoy such a great restaurant. So I asked the manager, a longtime acquaintance. She said, "Well, we don't offer custom dishes, really, but let me see what I can do, should be easy enough." She came back to say, politely and apologetically, that she couldn't help us out. Finally, an owner, a chef and man I like a great deal, happened by, and apologized. "We just can't."
Thing is, my friend is no diva. We should have just gone elsewhere. But the eggs were 50 feet away, in the kitchen, being cooked and served with other dishes. She has allergies. She didn't want anything fancy. It's the kind of moment where a business can follow the rules, or we can be human with one another—be kind.
Last night, I took my friend to Happy Noodle, a restaurant that's not nearly so "green." I asked the manager if we could order something custom, off the menu—"Just noodles, this, that. Simple. She can't eat nuts, garlic, onions or cheese…" He not only said "Of course, we're here for customers"…but he wrote down the list of allergies she had, and what she wanted, so there'd be no mistakes. The dish was out in five minutes, and was delicious.
I get it. The restaurant industry is tough—customers are prima donnas frequently, I know. I love [XXXX] and will continue to support and enjoy the amazing place they've created. But Happy Noodle's human kindness was more than touchy-feely do-gooderism.
It was damn good business.
I almost never go to Happy Noodle—I try and support restaurants that are "green," and support elephant, back. But now we'll go back once a week, knowing that my friend can safely eat a delicious meal, there.
Moral of the story—being personal, and kind is good business. Conscious consumers unite—we've created Whole Foods' success. Let's continue to support "green," local and mindful businesses wherever we find them.
Yours in the Vision of Enlightened Society,

Amber M Thank you SO MUCH for writing and posting this.
elephantjournal.com Spread the word, Amber, no one's reading this one. I was a little shocked, not having allergies, at how hard it is for those who do to get a simple meal when dining out.
Tracy HJ
Right on! I am allergic to nightshades (tomato,peppers,eggplant,potato,etc) & your friend's experience is so common. I'm always surprised by who can and can't accommodate my special needs and, like your friend, feel a little apologetic ev…ery time I order. I am so appreciative to those chefs who can make me something safe. The best ones take the challenge to create something amazing & I always go back. If your friend ever finds herself in the Twin Cities area, MN- Marx Wine Bar in Stillwater is considerate of allergies and wonderful food:)
Yep – common and no fun. Our son has food allergies and there are really only a few restaurants that we feel safe and welcome. Some have really surprised me too and gone way above and beyond to accommodate! We hardly ate out for the first few years of his life because he had such terrible eczema too caused by many food intolerances on top of his allergies. Thankfully, once he started taking Belly Boost children's probiotics, his skin has cleared dramatically and he can eat so many more foods. BUT, he does still have serious allergies and we always carry his Epi Pen! It is scary and not something to take lightly. I just hope though with the rise in this condition, that more people will continue to offer safe choices and to be kind about it! I am so glad you found a good restaurant who welcomed your friend.
So true!

When a young suburban (usually white) girl goes into the big city looking for drugs. (usually because her habit is blossoming or her normal hookup is busted/retired. Young black street dealers offer incredable deals to these young women and befriend them or introduce them to a specialist. In short order they are getting free drugs and in love. From there it's the oldest story ever told.

|Snow and Ice build-up damage to the underside of trains recently delivered by AnsaldoBreda for "Fyra" service between Amsterdam and Brussels. (Source: Dutch Railways)
Denmark, Belgium, and The Netherlands are three small countries that share many similar characteristics. All three are Constitutional Monarchies, all three share a border with Germany, all three stare down the North Sea, all three think strong black licorice is delicious, all three have languages that, when spoken, make a person sound like they have a throat ailment, all three have strong bicycle culture...okay, Belgium is doing some catch-up on that one...and all three have ordered intercity (long-distance) trains from AnsaldoBreda intended to be a backbone of rail service in each country.
|AnsaldoBreda's V250 sitting in the Yard
(i.e. (KLM+Dutch Railways)+Belgian Railway=High Speed Alliance ="Fyra", a marketing brand of train service)
The V250 trains only began service this past December, years after they had been promised, and had immediately become notorious for delayed and canceled trips.
|Credit: SergioGeorgini via Wikimedia
These parts were soon discovered to have fallen off of the V250 after a particularly snowy day. Except these were conditions that did not result in damage to Fyra's HSL4 companion, the Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV)-based high-speed trains run by the train operator Thalys (Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam and v.v.) on the same tracks.
The Amsterdam-Brussels city-pair had for over 50 years been serviced by an hourly joint Dutch-Belgian operation named "The Benelux train" (originally the trains had been slated to continue south from Belgium to the City of Luxembourg). These trains stopped at major cities between Amsterdam and Brussels, including the "other" Dutch Capital, The Hague. These trains were slower than the both Thalys and the V250, but they offered service not requiring payment of a surcharge (Thalys) or a reservation (Thalys & Fyra) and most importantly...
...The Benelux trains carried bicycles!
No box or bag required, just buy a bicycle ticket and roll on board into the designated bike storage area.
Fyra had been running limited Netherlands-only services using traditional electric locomotive-hauled train cars/carriages/wagons from Amsterdam to Breda, a city in the Netherlands which has no relation to AnsaldoBreda or predecessors, on the Dutch counterpart rail line to HSL4, the HSL-Zuid ("High Speed Line South"). This service had been implemented in this form because the V250s were delayed, as was the completion of both HSLs. (The Amsterdam-Breda trains are still running today, BTW)
So, finally, the V250s which had been ordered eight years prior, entered service and began to offer mostly fares priced above what the old Benelux train had been charging, did not make a stop in The Hague, and...
Nope, no way no how. Okay, if it was a folding bike, like a Brompton, in a bag, that would be alright, but no regular bicycles allowed...at all...on a train...that operates(or did for a while) in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Such Heresy! Indeed, even the Thalys trains, allow a bicycle to travel inside a slip cover of certain dimensions with the front wheel removed.
|...is not supposed to look like this after it snows.
Fyra/High Speed Alliance is losing many millions of euros on refunds and in revenues. Because the V250 was to be the premier train product initially on the international service, and was to eventually replace the locomotive-hauled trains on the domestic service to Breda the City, it has itself become referred to as the Fyra Train. Or "Failra". Some speculate that the name is an acronym for"Forget Your Rapid Arrival". #Fyra has trended on twitter in both countries and has been used to describe other delayed and problematic AnsaldoBreda and Finmeccanica products.
|AnsaldoBreda's IC4, also sitting in the Yard.
The Internationally-renown Transit-Oriented-Development expert Robert Cervero of the University of California at Berkeley, in the USA, will tell you that bikes and walking are superb means of transport, but that they do have their limits, and that to extend the walk- or bike- shed you need a mechanical means to move mass amounts of people in to, out of, and between employment, activity and other centers (or "nodes" as planners are want to call them). Trains provide an ideal means of doing this, and have the benefit of being able to carry large numbers of people, and people with bicycles, per departure something that buses still have a hard time doing. Bicycles can be used at both ends either to get to the station, and/or complete the journey's "last mile".
In Denmark, trains are now operated with the idea that one can bring a bicycle on board with no dis-assembly required and at little or no additional cost, so as to have one's own bicycle when you arrive the destination. However, space on the long-distance InterCity trains (which the IC4 was intended to operate) is limited and now requires a reservation in the summer
In The Netherlands, the preferred practice is to offer excellent and/or plentiful bicycle parking at the local station, and plentiful, easy to rent bicycles at most destination stations. Like Denmark, one can, outside of rush hours, also roll an assembled bicycle on to a train, and though one must buy a ticket for it, no reservation is required. This was also the policy on the Benelux Train into Belgium.
|CalTrain Bike Car
|Refurbished TGV-PSE with newly added bicycle storage area
In Part Two, I'll present the track record to date of the clowns at AnsaldoBreda and why they are leeches on the rail and transit industry.

Arizona county judge arrested on DUI charges
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A Coconino County judge has been reassigned to
non-judicial duties following his arrest over the weekend on an extreme driving
under the influence charge.
The Arizona Daily Sun reports that Superior Court Judge
Joseph Lodge was stopped Sunday morning after he swerved into oncoming traffic.
Authorities say one test showed Lodge's breath alcohol content was 0.229
percent, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Authorities say he
admitted taking prescription painkillers for a medical condition and drinking
The officer who made the stop reported that the man appeared confused and under
the influence of an intoxicant.
Lodge, who handles felony DUI cases, wasn't on the bench Monday. A message
seeking comment was left on the judge's office phone Monday evening.
His reassignment is the result of an administrative order signed Monday by
Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Rebecca White Berch.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is available right now on Steam, but if you were hoping for a little offline gaming, you should probably keep looking.
The brand new release from Konami makes no mention of needing an always-on internet connection but - surprise! - will not load in offline mode. Making things worse, if you're playing the game and your internet connection drops? You're kicked out of the game without warning.
While this sounds like the sort of thing that Konami or Platinum Games had included in the game as a copy-protection mechanism, think again. The game's Creative Producer, JP Kellams, took to Twitter claiming no knowledge of the drama and hoping it is "just a glitch".
Current theories on the situation suggest that this is due to the game's use of the Steam API - making the problem something that Platinum will have to work to resolve.
If we are to believe that the studio didn't know about the issue until release, chances are we might be waiting a while for it to be fixed.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

THE RESCUERS (Disney, 1977)
Today we're once again taking a look at art from THE RESCUERS. Scroll down to see two additional posts of digitally restored backgrounds.
THE RESCUERS level of artistry was very good indeed. While it certainly wasn't SNOW WHITE or FANTASIA, it was and is a beautifully crafted film.
Cost-cutting at the studio was always a concern, but especially after Walt's death. The eyes of THE RESCUERS mice had no whites, just a gray background. Legend has it Don Bluth was so incensed at this it was a key reason for his departure from Disney, which eventually led him to open his own animation studio.
The movie's poignancy was no doubt a reflection of many of the artists' feelings at the studio, as the older animators prepared to retire and passed the baton on to the younger animators.
It's a lovely, unpretentious and unashamedly sentimental film... perhaps that's why it is so endearing.

Actually, in RESCUERS DOWNUNDER, mice have eyes with whites, so this is something they changed from de first film.
Nice picture in the post.
Thanks for sharing.

I heard it tell that the whites of the eyes was not a 'save white paint' cost-cutting idea, look at all the other characters, it was in fact a move to make the mice more realistic, more mouse-like if you will, and less cartoony.

Take a drive on the darkside
Posted on30. Sep, 2010 by Ann-Marie.
Over the summer TomTom kept us all entertained with the release of the Star Wars voices for their satnav devices. We all enjoyed the videos of Darth and Yoda in the recording studio with the long-suffering sound engineer. I actually still get the giggles at the word "Roundabound". Little did I realise that all the japery was a big, fat hint towards their impending move to The Darkside. […]

Drive your way to savings with TomTom
Posted on15. Jul, 2010 by Ann-Marie.
The commute to and from work is something that I used to enjoy. For me, that time was the quality time I spent with myself (tragic I know), gearing myself up for the day to come, or winding down after the day so that I didn't confront my loved ones as a heinous harpy. Sadly, with more and more people on the road each day though, my car ceased being my haven and became my little stress box. Road works, traffic jams, accidents – the list of incidents is infinite – the result of each one, the same. Stressful, time consuming, fuel guzzling delays which leave you frazzled, out of pocket and more often than not, late. Wouldn't it be great if you could wish away the delays? Wouldn't it be great if you could teleport from the A-road armageddon straight to your destination? Wouldn't it be handy if you could pack a crystal ball that let you know what delights your journey had in store for you? Wouldn't it be brilliant if someone could do something about it? […]

Happy Fifth Birthday to the TomTom GO!
Posted on20. Mar, 2009 by Derek.
It's now been five years since the launch of TomTom's highly successful GO series of sat nav devices. A landmark in the development of the all-in-one GPS market, the launch of the TomTom GO made it possible for every driver to own a high quality navigation device. Intuitive, easy to use and with advanced features available straight out of the box, the simplicity and high end functionality of the TomTom GO was a recipe for success, even from the very beginning.
Since then, TomTom have launched several new ranges of sat nav devices, making TomTom the market leader with over 1000 awards and test reviews to their name, as well as a global user base of over 30 million. Along with the launch of new ranges such as the ONE and XL, TomTom have also and developed and introduced new technologies which have changed the face of the navigation industry.
The most influential of these new technologies include: TomTom Mapshare, which allows users to share and update their own map edits via a thriving online community of users; HD traffic, a real time traffic information solution which collects and processes traffic data via multiple anonymous sources; and IQ Routes, which provides information about the actual speeds driven on roads at different times of day, giving the most accurate route estimates at all times.
"We are humbled, thrilled and extremely motivated about the leading role TomTom has played in igniting and driving the PND market in the past 5 years," said Harold Goddijn CEO of TomTom. "Despite the changes the industry has seen in just five years, TomTom's focus has remained the same: optimising the driving experience by delivering dynamic route guidance that is relevant to every driver's journey. You can count on us to continue with this strategy."

What changes should be made to comics?

Introduce a company style that the artists are forced to use! No individual styles, every character should look the same no matter who draws him/her, screw the artsy stuff. You want to draw in your own style? Create your own stuff at your own company.
Do a hard reboot, ditch everything, even the successful stuff, start over and don't look back.
Adopt the writer's room that tv shows have, hire 4 or 5 writers for one book, let them work together, throw around ideas, plan the storyline and then write individual issues with a head writer overseeing them.
The most important part: Make the books accessible! That's why getting rid of the shared universe and not having several book for the same character is important. Don't make readers feel like they need to read other books to get the full experience and don't crap on your writer's stories by forcing a stupid event on them every summer.
Do another hard reboot after five years, allow your current version of Spider-Man to end. Let him die (for real) or let him live happily ever after, let him go to prison after he snapped and murderd Norman Osborn or let him be celebrated as a hero after he proved himself to everyone. Having a set time before the next reboot allows for more interesting stories and it allows to have lasting consequences, you can kill characters off without retconning the shit out of the story 3 years later to bring them back, just wait until the next reboot.
Hi Takeru
I've edited the quotes, as I disagreed with some of your ideas and wanted to focus on those things I did agree with, hope you don't mind. I've felt for some time that we need to do a company-wide hard-reboot every few years for the exact same reasons as you though I would make it every 10-15 years rather than every five.
Also I disagreed with ditching the shared universe. I just think it needs to be handled in moderation without these company-wide extravaganzas every few months. If nothing else I'm running out of storage space
Another idea you mentioned was ditching multiple titles for the same character. For more than a decade there were four monthly and 1 quarterly Superman titles and in essence this meant a Superman comic every week. During this time they introduced a numbering system known to fans as the triangle. It went Man of Steel, Superman, Adventures of Superman, Action Comics and Man of Tomorrow and it was one of the heydays of post war Superman comics. I still miss it. Now given your idea to adopt a common 'house style' for how the characters are drawn ala Archie Comics would perhaps do away with this if you had a Superman (or Batman) comic every week. But I am rather concerned about losing some iconic title if we go down your route eg Detective Comics or Action Comics.
I certainly do think though that 14 (or is it 15) Batman related titles is too much. There's Detective Comics, Batman, Batman and Robin, Batman Incorporated, Batman Dark Knight, Legends of the Dark Knight, Batwing, Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Nightwing, Red Robin, Red Hood, arguably Huntress, Birds of Prey.
If I'd been in charge of the new 52 I would have done a hard reboot and introduced a core of characters and titles building up over a period of a couple of years.
Anyway thats my two penneth.

My Q1 experience has moved me into a place of deep reverence with my body. Words feel lacking to express the grace I feel. My body returns to innocence and gentleness. At the same time, I am opened to the amazing potential of the temple of God I have been gifted to reside in this lifetime, and the life forces that rest within. To receive this gift, of myself in this way, reaches beyond my beyond, and from my willingness to walk into my unknowingness. I didn't know anything of the workshop, what would be taught, what we would do. I simply knew I needed to be there. I found a key "missing link" in my journey to wholeness, my need to fully embody my spiritual knowings through uniting with my body, including with the sacred sexual. Over the course of my journey, I have worked with many masterful teachers. Those who facilitated Q1 were among the very best I have encountered. They held a perfect space for awakening to the sexual self in the context of the sacred.

A spaghetti dinner and silent auction will be held from 6-8 p.m. March 22 at the First Baptist Church to help fund overseas mission trips for four local teenagers. The teens, Daniel Dyer, Daniel Hill, Rachel Hill and Luke Westfall are planning to spend part of the summer participating in trips organized by Global Expeditions, a division of Teen Mania ministries. In addition to raising money, the event will aim to inspire other young people to join the adventure of short-term missions and to answer questions their families may have.Teen Mania is a 20-year-old organization that sponsors live "Acquire the Fire" events all over North America, as well as mission trips, camps and youth leadership programs. Last summer, the ministry took 3,725 young people to 25 nations on Christian missions across the globe. Three of those young people were Dyer, Rachel and her brother Daniel. Are they going again? You bet. This summer's trip to Madagascar will be Rachel's fifth trip with Global Expeditions. Daniel is planning his second mission trip this summer to South Africa.

A line of severe thunderstorms Friday morning brought much needed relief to some and problems to others, as winds and rains pounded large parts of the state.
Weekend storms could help Oklahoma in drought battle
After suffering from months of drought that have decimated crops and drained lakes, parts of Oklahoma have finally started to see the amounts of rain needed to pull them out of the current dry spell.
Parts of Oklahoma City received 1.2 inches of rain since Thursday afternoon, adding to the more than four inches Oklahoma City saw over the past two weeks, according to the National Weather Service.
The northeast part of the state received the most rainfall in the past 10 days; Blackwell, Stillwater, Bristow and Porter all received more than five inches of rain in that time period.
"This is exactly what we need to alleviate those problems and hopefully there is more to come," said Gary McManus of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. "It's not going to end the drought completely, but every little bit helps."
The outlook for the state was looking very bleak heading into the hottest and driest part of the year, McManus said. But the recent rain will really give everything a boost heading into the dry season.
"It was definitely one of the driest January-to-May periods on record," he said. "Hopefully we get a little more rain so we can handle what's next when the rains shut off and the heat starts in full force."

Career expo in Hartwell attracts hundreds
Career expo in Hartwell attracts hundreds
HARTWELL, Ga. — Some job seekers may soon find themselves collecting a paycheck instead of unemployment benefits after the Hart County Career Expo.
With the unemployment rate still in the double digits in most of northeast Georgia, hundreds of people looking for work turned out from around northeast Georgia and Upstate South Carolina on Monday to Cateechee Golf Club in Hartwell. Attendees had resumes in hand, hoping to land a job with one of the employers represented.
One of those job seekers was Claudia Goltermine. Until January, she owned her own business in Hartwell. She said Monday that she now is looking for anything that would bring in a paycheck.
"I owned the Curves in Hartwell, but I had to close it. Now I'm just struggling to get by," Goltermine said. "I'm having to live on my savings, which I didn't want to do."
Goltermine said finding a job at her age, late 50s, is tougher than she thought.
"I'll take anything," she said. "I've had business experience, including retail from bottom to top. I could fit in anywhere."
About 25 employers were on hand ready to interview and hire at the expo sponsored by the Hart County Industrial Building Authority and the Toccoa Career Center.
"We've had a lot of good customers coming through, dressed nice with resumes and ready to go to work," said Kathy Smith, Career Center director.
Smith said most employers who were hiring were looking for people with technical experience and production experience.
One of those companies was Westwind Inc. of Anderson, which owns a number of Burger King restaurants in northeast Georgia and the Upstate. District supervisor Debbie Smith said the organization was seeking to fill a number of positions.
"We're looking for everything from team members to shift managers to general managers," she said. "We need people with a great attitude who are hard working."
Also hiring Monday was the Gwinnett County Police Department.Sgt. James Ashe, head of recruiting for the department, said a lot of people stopped by to find out how to apply for positions with a starting salary of $35,000.
"We're recruiting full-time for police officers and dispatchers," he said. "We have a lot of applications, but we have a very select few who can make it through the process. We've had a lot of interest, but we require you go online to make your application."
Doors opened at 10 a.m. Monday for the Career Expo, and by 10:30 a.m. more than 150 people were filling out applications and talking to employers.
"We had people here at 8:30 a.m. waiting in line to get in," said Dwayne Dye, Hart County Industrial Building Authority director. "This has been a really great turnout."
Smith said another career expo will be presented in the fall.

In the Atlantic piece she discussed in Monday's "Ask Anything" video, Hanna Rosin stands up for the sexual choices of Millennials:
When they do hook up, the weepy-woman stereotype doesn't hold. Equal numbers of men and women—about half—report to England that they enjoyed their latest hookup "very much." About 66 percent of women say they wanted their most recent hookup to turn into something more, but 58 percent of men say the same—not a vast difference, considering the cultural panic about the demise of chivalry and its consequences for women. And in fact, the broad inference that young people are having more sex—and not just coarser sex—is just wrong; teenagers today, for instance, are far less likely than their parents were to have sex or get pregnant. Between 1988 and 2010, the percentage of teenage girls having sex dropped from 37 to 27, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By many measures, the behavior of young people can even look like a return to a more innocent age.
Kate J.M. Baker claps. Dreher gets defensive:
I wrote the other day about how a gay culture of promiscuity is a "culture of death." This is a heterosexual version of the same. It is a culture of spiritual death. I see one of my primary jobs as a father as raising my sons and my daughter to hate this culture, and to resist it, mostly by learning to love what is good, true, and beautiful. Nothing — nothing — about the hook-up culture is good, true, or beautiful.
Maggie Gallagher waves a study suggesting that women prefer hookups much less than men do. David French, in a defense of Nathan Harden's Sex and God at Yale against critiques by Hanna and Nora Caplan-Bricker, is on the same page as Maggie and Dreher:
One has to be willfully blind to believe that men and women approach sex on the same terms.
Sure, there are some women who sleep around with gusto and some men who just want to settle down, but to believe that there aren't profound differences in the way men and women experience the world is to live in a fairy land. If Ms. Rosin and Ms. Caplan-Bricker want to see the true fruits of the sexual revolution, I suggest that they get out just a bit more — out of the world of wealth and privilege (which can absorb a multitude of sins) and into the working-class world of skyrocketing illegitimacy, generational fatherlessness, and deepening poverty. … Ask a woman working two jobs to provide for three kids by two different deadbeat dads if the hook-up culture has empowered her.
