I am brand new to cycling and I just bought a pair of Specialized carbon cycling shoes. I tried them on in the store and they felt fine, after 2 minutes on my bike, the sides of my feet began to ache (they still ache) just like the aches I used to get from wearing my skates. The pain is on the side of my foot opposite the arch. I can't distinguish if it is a muscle, tendon or ligament pain but it feels like my feet have been squeezed. Common sense suggests to me that the shoes aren't wide enough, but, they are amongst the wider pairs I tried, and my foot isn't wide. The pain was so bad, it made me end my ride after 10 km although I wanted to keep going. I used to think that it was normal for skates to hurt and just put up with it, but now I'm questioning whether it is normal or if it's improper fit.
My feet aren't used to any cycling shoe (I'm seriously brand new... Those were the first 10 km i've ever rode in a cycling form) Yes I was fitted on the bike I purchased but not with shoes

I live in the triangle area and I refuse to go to a church that teaches that salvation is a choice. I understand that salvation is a gift; not a choice. I understand the three world ages, and that Angels had lots of sex with human women..... Anyone else who understands the Truth will totally understand where I am coming from by now..... I dont go to church because I have never been to a church that teaches the word.... Are there any in my area??? I am starving for a place to call home

Is christianity about worshiping God or Jesus? It is said in the Christian religion not to worship idols, and that is what Jesus has seemed to become. At least that is the impression I get when I go to church or look at some of the christian profiles saying "I am a follower of Jesus," etc, and so on. It seems that we pedestalize Jesus and sort of kick him upstairs saying "OK, he was the son of god, but no one else." Nevermind the fact that Jesus said that we will do greater works than he did. Nevermind the fact that he quoted from the psalm scriptures "You are gods..." He said the scripture cannot be broken. What do you think Christians, are you idolaters?

For the name of a character in my novel who was as a teenager, shy and smart, but grows up to become cynical and beautiful in a tired sort of way. She is a receptionist at an office, and has a southern accent.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I want to start sewing. i want to be able to make curtains, skirts, and the occasional halloween outfit. I really like the idea of this machine, because it also does embroidery to embellish small areas. Any experiences? any information on whether it will be discontinued soon? is there a better model, or brand??
I don't want to spend thousands +.
Is it too noisy?
Is it too heavy?
Is it easy for a beginner?
Can it use the feet for specialty projects?
Are the embroidery cards too expensive?

Any information would be appreciated.

This afternoon, I found a turtle/tortoise(?) in my front yard. I live in Southern California, near the beach and about a five-minute walk from a river and wildlife preserve.

How can I tell what kind of reptile I have found? Are there any websites with pictures of turtles/tortoises native to California? Are there websites that talk about what kind of food I can give it or what kind of habitat I need to put it into? How can I tell if it is a male or female?

Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated, especially links to informative, preferredly legitimate websites. Thank you!

If your friend died and was put in a tomb, and you came back the next day to find him missing, wouldn't you just assume someone took the body? Don't tell me "the stone was too large to roll away." Someone had to roll it there in the first place. This story was written about 10 years after the fact by Mark. Isn't it just possible that he chose to embellish the disappearance of the body into a "resurrection?"

I have a 1992 Volvo 940 non-turbo that stalls while I am driving down the road at highway speeds. I will be driving along at 75mph and the engine will just stop runnning without warning. Everything else electrical is not interrupted. It will restart just fine after turning the key off and waiting 30 seconds or so. It seems to mostly happen when the car has been running for 10 or 15 minutes and is almost warmed up. Once it is warm completely it does not do this. It does this on both dry and wet days. I have replaced fuel pump, fuel pump relay, air and fuel filters, plugs, wires, ignition module, and distributor cap and rotor and it still does it. It is very intermittent and very annoying. Anyone have any ideas ?
