When it comes to tennis shoes, women want to have their cake and eat it, too. Well, the Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour comes closer to pulling that off than any shoe has before. There's the Adaptive Fit technology, which makes the shoe fit a range of foot types, from narrow to wide. There's the low-profile cushioning that offers comfort without weight. There's mesh to allow the shoe to breathe. There's reliable stability. There's a variety of cosmetic options to satisfy those who prefer a more traditional look and bolder color combinations for the risk takers. The one thing it didn't have was a durable sole. The durability is OK for a lightweight shoe, but it's not going to be the shoe that lasts forever. That, though, wasn't enough to stop our playtesters from loving this shoe. See, we can have our cake and eat it, too. And maybe even have some extra frosting.
Comfort - Score: 4.6
Replacing the Lunar Speed series of shoes as Nike's flagship women's "speed shoe," the Zoom Vapor 9 Tour comes fully equipped with top-notch comfort technologies. The Zoom Air is a low-profile, yet comfortable cushioning system, and the Adaptive Fit technology should make the shoe more comfortable for a wider range of foot types. In Karly's opinion, Nike scored a winner with the Vapor 9 Tour. She said, "There's no other shoe that can compare to the comfort of the Vapor 9s. With the Adaptive Fit they feel as though they were designed specifically for my feet and my feet only. Any pinching or rubbing was out the question with the custom fit; the shoes fit like a glove every time I laced up to go play in them. There was also the perfect amount of cushioning. There wasn't so much that it was overwhelming or felt like it weighed the shoe down, but there was enough to where they felt soft on my feet."
Brittany expanded on Karly's comments, saying, "I could not believe how comfortable these shoes were. There was no break-in period, and I felt very comfortable from start to end in this playtest. There was NO poking, pinching, rubbing, blistering or anything uncomfortable. The perfect amount of cushioning (not too much or too little) was right where it was supposed to be. The more I played with this shoe the more it conformed to my feet."
Count Carol as another pleased tester. She said, "It is a VERY comfortable shoe. The cushioning around the heel in particular was extremely well done by Nike. This is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on. The Adaptive Fit construction was a bonus with this shoe. I loved being able to customize the wrap of this shoe around my foot. It allowed the shoe to adjust to my foot rather than my foot adjusting to the shoe."
The Adaptive Fit also played a role for Tiffani and her wider foot. She explained, "In the past I've had issues with Nike shoes feeling too narrow for my feet. The last shoe I tested, the Courtlite 3, stopped that trend. This Vapor easily beats the Courtlite 3 for me because although I could wear the Courtlite comfortably, the shoe's last was still too narrow for me. It was only the flexible uppers that made it work for me. With the Vapor, my wider forefoot comfortably sits in the shoe, and the Adaptive Fit allows me to cinch the shoe up to fit my foot. I also like sitting low to the court, and the cushioning is plenty cushy but not excessive."
Ventilation - Score: 4.5
Much to the delight of our playtesters, there is plenty of mesh on the upper of the Vapor 9 Tour, and it did its job of keeping the shoe cool. Carol noted, "Great ventilation. It allowed my foot to breath and perform without ever being overheated."
Tiffani had no worries, either. She said, "I never thought about my feet heating up in this shoe. I wouldn't say my feet felt cold air flowing in, but ventilation was not a concern. The Vapor 9 offered me better than average breathability."
"The combination of great cosmetics and comfort made me never wanted to take the shoes off," said Karly. "The ventilation also made that possible to do. My feet never felt overheated and left my socks feeling dry. I could comfortably keep them on long after play without feeling like I needed to change my socks."
Brittany noted the cool time of year, but was still pleased. She offered, "I have been playtesting the Vapor 9 shoes during the whole month of January on an indoor court. So while the playing conditions were on the cooler side, I had zero problems with ventilation. My foot was comfortable in the shoe and stayed at an optimum temperature. The mesh on the upper provided enough air circulation to keep my feet dry and happy."
Arch Support - Score: 3.9
Brittany needed some break-in time for her slightly low arches. She said, "When I first started playtesting these shoes I could definitely feel the presence of the arch when I was moving on the court. While it was not painful and did not cause any soreness, I could definitely feel it, and it was slightly annoying. Luckily, after a couple of hits (1-2 hours) the arch compressed and I didn't feel it after that."
Tiffani was on the same page as Brittany. She explained, "This might be the only area where I had an issue with the Vapor 9. I felt a little stress in my right arch, particularly the first time out. The arch height was fine, but I think I am used to shoes that are more rigid in the midfoot."
Karly had no problems. She said, "The arches felt lower than average, but that didn't bother me one bit. My arches never ached and I didn't have any problems with the support, even though the arches were on the lower side. I think the really cushioned insoles helped as well. After the first few wears it felt like the insole molded to the shape of my foot, which helped the support."
Agreeing, Carol added, "Again, the Adaptive Fit construction allowed the shoe to mold to my foot and provide excellent arch support. The arch was perfect for my foot, and I felt very confident that this shoe would support my movements all over the court."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.2
Because it's a lightweight shoe, the Vapor 9 Tour relies upon the full-length TPU frame and Adaptive Fit technology to keep players' feet and ankles supported and stable. For the most part, our testers were satisfied. The performance impressed Tiffani. She said, "This shoe is surprising on this front. It's super flexible, super light, and it appears pretty minimal in terms of support and stability when just looking at it. The Adaptive Fit technology really did its job, though. I could move without the uppers flexing too much (a problem I often have with wide feet), and I played without fear of a roll-over. Though I am not moving as aggressively (due to pregnancy), staying on my feet is of utmost importance to me right now. These were my go-to shoes in the last few weeks before I hung up the sticks because I felt they had a great balance of comfort and stability."
Brittany, too, enjoyed how the shoe hugged her foot. She said, "One thing that really stood out to me with this shoe was the Adaptive Fit construction. I have a narrow foot, and this shoe's lacing system really gripped my foot and held it in place when I was moving around on court. I also used these shoes for some cross training exercises, and they were fabulous. For being on the light side, I thought these were some of the most supportive and stable shoes I have played in."
The shoes helped Karly redefine how a shoe provides stability. She said, "There's a tendency to think that heavier shoes offer more stability and support than lighter shoes, right? That's not the case with the Vapor 9s! The shoes were extremely light, but that had absolutely no effect on their support. The fit allowed me to move comfortably and confidently. The Adaptive Fit prevented any sliding within the shoe, and they came up high on my ankles so I never felt like I was going to roll them. There's no doubt that this is the lightest, most stable shoe I have ever played in."
On the flipside, the width of the toe box posed an issue for Carol, who said, "The shoe provided great support for the arch and ankle, but the toe box was a little too wide for my foot. My toes had too much wiggle room in the toe box and were subject to some stubbing on quick stops."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.4
Though it's been a long time since the women's Zoom Vapor S2, the Vapor line has had a long history on the men's side, and it's reputation is that it lacks durability. Outsole durability wasn't the Zoom Vapor 9 Tour's best feature, but it sufficed for our team. Brittany explained, "Having listened to the male TW playtesters talk about the Vapor 9 for over a year now, I knew that the sole durability was an issue for them. The women's shoe is very similar. For a lightweight shoe the durability is OK. It isn't as heavy duty as an adidas Barricade or Prince T22, but it holds up well in the lightweight shoe category. I have seen some balding under my toe, but it was expected."
Carol noticed premature wear, saying, "So far, this shoe is providing below par sole durability. I have noticed considerable wear and tear along the outer part of the heels. I don't usually wear this portion of the shoe out, so this is definitely a new development for me."
It wasn't as big an issue for Karly, who said, "Oh, how I wish there was a way for lightweight shoes to last longer. Durability was not the shoe's strongest feature, but for a lightweight shoe I thought it was OK. I'd consider the durability to be fairly average, and it met my expectations for such a light shoe. I noticed the most wear on the outside of my upper foot, but that didn't seem to affect their performance, as they still played really well even when I started to notice the wear."
Tiffani wasn't playing up to full speed. She offered, "Because I haven't been playing as much -- or as hard -- lately, I can't offer a fair comparison to any of the speed-oriented shoes I've tried recently. I put a few hours on them and haven't noticed excessive wear, though."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.1
The durability of the toe cap impressed our toe draggers. Karly said, "I thought the toe durability was better than the outsole durability. The coverage around the toe box seemed tougher than the sole, and I didn't have any problems wearing through that area."
As an aggressive mover -- and toe dragger -- Brittany was happy. She said, "Yes, I am a toe dragger and can do some heavy-duty damage to my toe bumper guards. I felt my Vapor 9s were well protected from any dragging, and the guard came up high enough to protect the top of the shoe from any holes. The bumper does show some smoothing and dirt, but there are many, many more hours of protection left."
Tiffani, too, has been known to destroy the toes of shoes. She noted, "I've scuffed the toe, but I haven't seen any glaring problems thus far. This does come with the caveat, though, that I'm definitely not moving like I usually do."
Traction - Score: 4.2
Nike's XDR outsole is laid out in a herringbone tread pattern to provide versatile traction, but our testers stuck to hard courts. Carol was the one tester who had an issue with the outsole's grip. She said, "Another complaint I have with this shoe is the traction. I felt very confident stopping and starting, along with forward and backward movements in this shoe, but if I was pushed side to side I noticed that I was sliding around the court a bit. Unlike many of the professional players, I do not slide well on hard courts and do not like this feature. I didn't feel confident when moving around the court."
The rest of the playtesters, including Brittany, were confident in the traction department. She said, "I thought the grip of this shoe was excellent. I was able to move around the court in complete confidence. No matter which direction I was moving I was able to start and stop or change directions with ease. The best part was that the grip was the perfect combination of grip and give. It was not so grippy that I felt stuck to the court. It had a little give, but not too much, so I was not sliding all over the court."
Tiffani agreed, adding, "The shoe gripped the courts as I would expect. I felt like I could stop and start without any issues. It also really helped that I felt light on my feet and the shoes hugged my feet."
"The traction was perfect," proclaimed Karly. "It made changing directions extremely easy, and I could start and stop so well. I loved how I was able to get a good grip on the court without the shoes feeling too sticky. Even when the shoes started to wear there wasn't enough of a decrease in traction to cause any slipping or sliding. The traction was top-notch."
Weight - Score: 4.9
These shoes are light. They may not be the lightest on paper, but the weight was still impressive. Tiffani said, "When it comes to weight, I don't like to go by what the scale says. I don't mind a heavy shoe; what really makes a difference to me is how the shoe feels on the court. Does it feel light? Does it feel streamlined? Sometimes the scale doesn't tell the whole story. This Vapor 9 feels like one of the lightest shoes I've worn and is one of those shoes that just moved with my feet. To top it off, it's also supportive."
Karly couldn't agree more. She offered, "I couldn't believe how light these shoes felt on my feet. Man, they were fast! With a great combination of weight and stability, this is one of the best shoes I've ever worn for helping my movement. They didn't weigh me down one bit, and I felt like I could cover the entire court easily because of how well I could move with them on. I give two very big thumbs up for the weight of this extremely light shoe."
Add Brittany to the chorus of happy feet. She said, "I love, love, love lightweight shoes, and these are definitely on the top of my list. Not only are they lightweight, but they also offer the stability that most other shoes lack. Weighing in at only 11.9 ounces for an 8.5, this shoe isn't the lightest shoe on the market but is definitely light enough to make moving on the court a breeze. I felt super quick on the court and the shoes felt light as a feather."
Carol also sung the shoe's praises, saying, "It's a very lightweight shoe that resembles a running shoe. I could play a five-hour match in this shoe without feeling weighed down."
Overall - Score: 4.3
Karly - "I absolutely loved how well I could move in these shoes. The combination of stability and weight was too good to be true!"
Brittany - "I liked the comfort, stability and light weight."
Carol - "I enjoyed the lightweight feel and comfort level this shoe provided. My foot felt lower to the court, almost as if I weren't wearing shoes at all. I really loved that aspect. The ventilation was great, and the Adaptive Fit construction really allowed the shoe to cater to my foot."
Tiffani - "The weight, the cosmetics (lots of options for color!) and the comfortable fit."
Karly - "I just wish they'd last forever! I hate to see any wear on the sole, which is bound to happen with such a lightweight shoe."
Brittany - "At the start of the playtest the arch was a little high, but it compressed shortly there after. Also, durability is on the lower side."
Carol - "Traction and durability were really disappointing to me. I didn't feel confident moving side to side, especially when I was running across the entire baseline in defense. I was sliding around, which is not a desirable feature for my game. I felt that the durability was lacking, especially on the outer toe box and heel."
Tiffani - "Nothing in terms of performance. Perhaps the price tag."
Comparing the shoe to others they've tried, our testers said:
Karly - "The custom fit was nice for a wider fit because I find Nike shoes tend to fit more on the narrow side. More specifically, the closest shoe that I can think of is the Courtlite 3 because of the weight and comfort. Both shoes were extremely lightweight and offered similar cushioning, but I would have to give the edge to the Vapor 9s. The stability of the Courtlites was nowhere near the Vapor's excellent support."
Brittany - "I would compare these shoes to the Asics Gel Solution Speed, as they are similar in weight, stability, traction and arch support. The feel of both of these shoes was very similar."
Carol - "Cushioning and fit: I would vote for this shoe, but when it comes down to durability and traction, I prefer the durability and traction of the Nike Air Max Cage, but I prefer the cushioning and fit of the Vapor 9."
Tiffani - "My favorite shoe from 2012 was the Asics Gel Solution Speed. This Vapor 9 easily pleased me as much as the Solution Speed. They're equal in the looks department and both feel super light. The traction on the Vapor 9 is better, though. As with the Solution Speed, I like the comfort and style enough to wear these to the gym, too."

Of all the lonely ways to spend money, paying for phone sex strikes me as the most pathetic. A prostitute is really there. A phone sex companion is only a soundtrack for masturbation, and the man who needs one must have a desperate lack of imagination.
Equally depressing to me are some of the reviews received by "For a Good Time, Call…," the story of two former college enemies who team up as phone sexers and become gal pals. "Enough laughs and goodwill to be disarmingly entertaining," I read in one review. "A feel-good raunch-com," says another. I quote them as a public service, since one male reviewer thinks women could like this movie enough to come back a second time "and bring their boyfriends."
I wouldn't want to be one of those boyfriends. I'm not objecting to the movie on grounds of taste but because it is stupid, vulgar, crass and mercilessly formulaic. On second thought, maybe I am objecting on grounds of taste. It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius. Shortly after Mel Brooks released "The Producers" (1968), I was in an elevator with him when a woman said, "Your film was nothing but vulgar." Brooks regarded her sternly. "Madam," he said, "my film rises below vulgarity."
The story involves Lauren and Katie (Lauren Miller and Ari Graynor), who have hated each other ever since a college-party malfunction involving urine. Now Lauren is desperate when her boyfriend (James Wolk) announces he is moving to Italy and orders her to leave their apartment immediately. Meanwhile, Katie faces eviction from her late grandmother's rent-controlled luxury apartment overlooking Gramercy Park. Their needs are matched up by a mutual best friend from college named Jesse (Justin Long), who is gay, fulfilling the unwritten requirement that any male capable of being the best friend of two women at the same time must be gay, because a straight man cannot be best friends with more than one female, at most.
Even under rent control, an apartment overlooking Gramercy Park is far from cheap, and Katie has been making ends meet, so to speak, by inspiring orgasms over the phone. Lauren is shocked, but it's amazing how being a roommate can broaden your standards, and soon she graduates from doing the books to performing on the instruments herself.
We see a few of their pitiful customers, played by Seth Rogen (who is Miller's husband in real life) and Kevin Smith, who doesn't seem to require the Method to play his role. There's also a scene where Lauren's parents (Mimi Rogers and Don McManus) drop in unexpectedly and find two enormous dildos on the coffee table. At least I hope to God they're enormous. One is black and the other looks like it may have been inspired by Shrek.
The Little Movie Glossary requires that all sexcoms must end with at least one example of sincere romance. Considering that Jesse is gay, the only possible candidate for this obligatory role has to be one of the clients. I can understand sincere romance between a prostitute and a client, because, like, they're both in the room, right? But if your dating pool consists of the clients for a phone sex service, that suggests right away these guys may be lacking in social skills.
I dunno. The screenplay by Miller and Katie Anne Naylon excels in its mastery of filthy talk, which is delivered with such velocity and mastery that the movie shows every sign of considering it funny. The performances by Miller and Graynor are high-spirited enough that you yearn to see them in worthier material. The potential is there. If there's anything more seductive to Manhattanites than sex, it's a cheap apartment overlooking Gramercy Park.

Who will sign a petition for list 6019 age extension that will be presented to the politicians.
Printable View
Candidates who took 6019 received an age extension allowing otherwise unqualified candidates -due to age- to take 2000
I can tell you right now that's a losing battle. You have to go to a hearing and present your case as to why you feel you deserve an age extension, not just get a petition signed. You have to present facts and show that due to no fault of your own you were made ineligible to be hired as was the case with many who took 6019. The fact that you took the next OC test and didn't do well makes you seem as if your bitter cause you didn't do well enough to get hired from exam 2000.
I'm guessing you still have a shot thru the promo process?
Just be thankful you still have a opportunity to get OTJ, some people don't even have that hope left who took 6019.
You got that right!!! And I am a minority! Discrimination definitely existed in the 60's and 70's...diminishing in the Dept in the 80's. Exam #6019 did not have anything to do with this lawsuit and yet it was cancelled. I personally feel that the discrimination lies in those parents who did not raise their children with a "I CAN" attitude; therefore discriminating and pre-determining their future. The Vulcan society members who filed this lawsuit are FDNY members and yet they still are crying discrimination. I am tired of hearing all that BS pertaining to this subject. How about studying and working your *** off! The Vulcan society will be at the mercy of karma; it is inevitable. They hurt the cause of hundreds who were a foot away of realizing they're dreams!!!
Haha guys I am not bitter bc I didn't do well on exam 2000. Lets not get cocky bc we have low list numbers. A score of 92% is well over a passing grade. die to the fact theres 42,000 people on the list unfortunateky that score gives you a high list number. My argument here is that since 6019 was thrown out and an age extension was made for candidates to take exam 2000 due to an age extension if they were over the age 29. It just doesn't make sense for it to only be extended for one exam. If you took exam 6019 your age should be extended to 36 period, not just for one exam 2000. Bc of 6019 I was cheated of 5 years. I was 23 when I took 6019. I was 28 when I took 2000. The age extension did not apply to me. Technically over that course of 5 years I should of had 2 shots and 2 exams. I was cheated down to one. By allowing the age extension for for 6019 candidates would give me that second shot that was taken away from me from 6019. Just like manhattan medic said with the high physical and medical standards it should not be a problem. If your qualified for the job then your qualified.
Where were you when the original extension was being pushed for???
Your name says it all. Your idea might have been a decent then, but now it just looks as if you $h*t the bed on 2000 so you're gonna do whatever you can in an attempt to rectify YOUR situation.
In a way, I don't blame you, but this battle already took place years ago and was won by a great group of 6019 candidates.
There's nothing to get besides knowing how exam 2000 was graded. DCAS has yet to reveal that. It seems as if you "lied through your teeth" you got a good score on 2000 bc all the "survey questions " or physiological questions at the end of the exam were graded. In fact it seems as if they were graded with equal weight to the reading comprehension questions in the first part of the exam. Either way it's just ridiculous of an exam. Nothing we can do about it now. Hopefully exam 2000 gets axed so these cocky guys with low list numbers can feel the pain of our dreams being shot down. Anyway all 6019 candidates should have the opportunity of taking an open competitive or promotional exam until the age of 36. It does not make sense nor it is fair to have it written on one NOE when it didn't apply to all who took 6019
Wow. I mean... wow. You are just plain sad, bitter, and ignorant. As GIMMEFIRE said, the battle was fought a few years ago, and it would appear that you weren't around at all because you probably didn't care at the time. It's hard to be taken seriously when you only started voicing your great opposition after you lost your chance at the job.
The worst part is that some senior EMTs are going to have to put up with your bitter *** when you get out of the EMS academy and I'm sure you will be a treat to work with.
Lol chill out. I'm well liked by everyone who surrounds me. Everyone handles their stress and angers differently. If your not in the same situation you have no right to judge someone. I
6019victim, i tried messeging you but it says you have your personal messeges off.
Happy New Years to all.
Would like to know what's the current status on exam 6019? Are we filing a lawsuit or what?
I would like to begin by thanking you all for keeping me informed and optimistic throughout these times of ambiguous explanations and ridiculous rulings. Without this forum I dont know what would have kept me hopeful for so long. I would also like to thank Merit Matters for their direct impact on the events that have passed, and for pushing the ideals that will secure our future and that of the people of New York. I would like to apologize for, and state that I do regret, not joining sooner so as to contribute more to the cause. Though I have met some of you in person, I would like to once and for all put my story out in the open partly because youre the only ones who can relate and partly because misery loves company and my story may help ease the overall crapulence of the individual situations we all wallow in. I will begin where we all did. I signed up for exam 6019 (and only 6019 because the FDNY was the only city department I truly wanted to be a part of). I went to all the test prep, and took the same exam that we all took. Despite the randomness of the questions when compared to the more relevant job specific questions with which we studied, I emphasize that they were the same common sense oriented questions that everyone on the list was forced to answer. How those questions can be accused of failing to measure a potential candidates aptitude, and yet succeed at discriminating based on the color of their skin is a concept as lacking in logic as proof, but I will stop there in order to keep from ranting on this matter just yet. I received no wake up call or test site transportation, and had no military credit, only residential and managed to place in the low 200s of the list.
Taking into account the Vulcan argument posed as the premise of the case, apparently I had stayed out of the sun long enough to do well on the exam, and my skin color had not fully diminished my reading, writing, or cognitive abilities in spite of my ethnic bloodline yes, I am a minority.
I continued through the process, going to the rock for physical training well beyond what was needed for the CPAT, improving as necessary and excelling at it. I passed the CPAT and the medical thanks to that training and the encouragement of the instructors who, while it hurts me to need to specify this, never gave off the slightest vibe of unfairness, racism, or negativity.
I waited patiently; checking in regularly to make sure everything was in order for my investigation. I had received laser eye surgery, checked in, and was under the impression that I was in the clear. While I had been told that a drivers license was necessary before graduating from the academy, and believed that my investigator would have told me if I required it before then (considering my constant contact with him) I was in fact wrong to deduce anything of he sort. I received a phone call from my investigator on June 3rd saying that if I did not get a drivers license immediately I would not be able to enter the academy as part of the first class (or, as time has since shown, at all).
Immediately contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles, I arranged the earliest appointment available, June 17th. While cutting it close, I would have made it had I not had the misfortune of having my ID checked by a DMV official who was as observant as he was disgruntled. It was brought to my attention that my permit still said that I required glasses. Despite my explanation regarding the laser eye surgery, the time limit for the FDNY, the fact that I still happened to have the receipt in my jacket pocket, and my willingness to take an eye exam (or even borrow a pair of glasses for the sake of it); no amount of pleading made a difference he would not let me take the exam. My dreams seemed to shatter in an instant at the hand of a man who was merely sick of his career and had no qualms with helping me share his fate.
But what kind of a candidate would I be if I had given up so easily? I immediately called the DMV and told everyone I could of my situation. After about an hour and half a dozen sympathetic DMV associates (they do exist), I was put on the phone with a higher up who was willing to schedule me an emergency exam for Friday, June 27 a miracle for scheduling a drivers test. I called my investigator and told him the situation, and was even put on the phone with a higher up; being told that so long as I passed all should be well.
This is where it would be assumed that I failed to pass the test thanks to some angry instructor, but no, I in fact passed and was all too excited that through persistence I had persevered. Only the call to my investigator could ruin the elation I had achieved. I was told that the mile and a half run (which I would have had no problem passing thanks to the trainers at the rock) had already been given earlier in the week, and I would not be allowed to enter the class. I asked if there was anything I could do, and was simply told to keep in shape and stay out of trouble words we have all come to dread by now.
I kept in shape, passing the run for the January class, and looked forward to being sworn in when I awoke to a phone call from the mayors office stating that hiring would be postponed indefinitely. Remaining as steadfast as possible after having my dream dissolved before me yet again, I waited patiently for my next opportunity. I believed the budget issues would work themselves out for the sake of public safety, and the city would hire in the near future not realizing that the next hiring freeze would embody a complete disregard for public safety, let alone our individual struggles.
I have kept up with the case and judges ignorance toward logic and reason, wondering more than anything how a blatant disregard for the ideals of justice itself can be excused for the sake of righting a proposed wrong in spite of an utter lack of proof that a wrong was done in the first place.
As a side note, I have yet to find out how often a missing drivers license is implemented as a strict requirement for beginning the academy, and do still wonder how many others have been held back due to enforcement of the rule. I also find it strange that despite the likelihood of my passing a simple driving test, I was not allowed to run that week, which was ultimately the cause of my rejection. Rumors about injured or deferred candidates being replaced by other candidates in the early weeks, while a grim prospect, were also left unverified. I would appreciate any information with regards to procedure in any such matters, and look forward to being another voiced story added to the cause. While I still want to fight for my dream career, I want to fight even harder for its ideals, even if that means sacrificing my own opportunity for such a cause. The FDNY should be known as a profession that hires the best to protect this beautiful and diverse city from dangers that threaten the lives of everyone indiscriminately. I know many of you agree, and I want to be a part of it all.
Thank you all for your time and patience.
It's in there: http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/html/co...q_080106.shtml
The background investigators are there usually the first day or two of the academy to visually confirm that EVERYONE has their New York State Driver's License.
I admire your perserverance, but you dropped the ball. It wasn't someone elses responsibility to keep you apprised of all the requirements and timelines.
There are other departments out there. Lots of great ones. Don't let this be your "be all, end all" if you truly wish to serve.
Good luck,
Thank you bam, youve been a consistent and intelligent poster on this forum for a long time. Perhaps I missed the info, but all I saw/see is that you need one before appointment. Furthermore i had the license before the class, but was not told the date of the run, and just dont see what damage my running could have done. I just thought that the year of investigation and my direct questions regarding the matter might have triggered something in my investigators memory some time before June. I dont blame anyone but myself for not preemptively addressing the issue, but also see it as a criteria that should have been noticed and brought to my attention ( as the investigators do with any other missing requirements) while I carefully completed all other requirements. I failed to get the license in time for the run, but I had it on the 27th, before the first day of academy, and would have had it sooner if I had been told I needed it. Nonetheless, I respect and appreciate the help given by my investigator and know that my current unemployment is an issue brought about by this selfish and racist court case. The case itself is an insult to minorities everywhere, and the candidates with stories like mine who earned their chance at the academy and a career that means more than anything to them. It threatens a department that needs to be at its best to protect the city and people we all love.
Absolutely. I couldnt give up the opportunity. I unfortunately did not do as well on 2000. Being honest about things like a single unexcused absence in my senior year of highschool apparently makes me unfit to be a firefighter. If I only knew the ability to blatantly lie was a quality the vulcan test makers sought in a candidate. Nonetheless, I know that 2000 did hold on to some great candidates from 6019 and hope the people who make it understand and appreciate the chance they have won, working beyond their best to earn their place.
can someone shed some light on what happened today with the city winning the appeal. I know it says that the way FD will be hiring has been revised... what does this mean? does this mean that they might reinstate 6019???? wishful thinking but you never know!!
Any candidate from List 6019 that passed the run in December 2008 and was given an offer of employment to begin the fire academy and who wishes to join me in a class action suit, please private message or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) with your information (name, address, email, phone and list #). We have sat in silence long enough.

Immersed in dark, roasted malts and a bold citrus hop character, these big and contrasting flavors are brought together with the smoothness of a lager for a brew thats bold, mysterious, and full of flavor.

Marquis and Albendazole are preventative medicines. Both defend and prevent parasite's and are used to terminate the parasite's coccidia and giardia; both are administered orally. We find them to be so important that in order for us to offer a 1 year Health Guarantee we ask that these are administered. These are used specifically as a PRECAUTIONARY TREATMENT which we take for every puppy in case their immune system is compromised during the transition period (i.e. stressed). Think of it like vitamins for dogs. The Marquis is a 1 times treatment 72 hours (3 days) after arrival on a full stomach. IF INCLUDED IN YOUR BAGGIE (some might not have this product if the puppy has already received this treatment under our care) The Albendazole is given .25ml am and pm for 5 days starting 24 hours after arrival and only after a meal (albendazole is a de-wormer and there is no need to get any additional de-wormer from your vet). Once the albendazole is gone, you do not need any more worming medication.

Just give it a try. Even if it doesn't OC so well it wont break immediately because of that. :P
Just do it in little steps and monitor temp.
I got a E6600 with 2.4 Ghz which I occasionally oc to 3 Ghz (for KDE upgrages for example). A E5200 iirc stays cooler, so I guess you should be able to get more than 3 Ghz easily.

Board ousts QHS principal
More than 130 Quincy High School students and parents showed up to protest Principal Sue Segura not being rehired. At least 110 students from grades 6-12 called in sick and stood out in the cold Tuesday, March 12, with signs advocating for Segura to be rehired. Photos by Laura Beaton
Principal Sue Segura received notification Friday, March 8, that she would not be coming back to work for Plumas Unified School District as principal at Quincy High School.
Segura said Superintendent Micheline Miglis came to her office and told her of the board's decision the night before.
In a telephone interview Monday, March 11, Segura said, "I love this community. I'm devastated." Her voice broke.
"I want to keep on doing what I've done for kids as long as I've been here and as long as the community supports me.
"I want my grandkids to go to school here. It's a great school. Look at our test scores — they are the highest in the district. Look at the colleges our kids go to.
"We have the best teachers I've ever worked with."
Segura said she was not given a reason for her dismissal.
"I'm numb," she said.
During closed session at the March 7 school board meeting, the board took action on an item relating to personnel: to non-reelect a public employee. The amended resolution 1375, Intent to Dismiss Certificated Employees, added 1 FTE Secondary School Principal to the list.
Principal Sue Segura |
Three members voted in favor, one abstained and one voted against the action, for overall approval to non-reelect.
Parent and community supporter Jeff Cunan said, "The school board made a mistake that can easily be corrected. Losing Dr. Sue would damage the education of our children.
"This mistake was made too hastily based on one-sided distortions in closed session," Cunan added. "I'm certain that once the board becomes aware of the whole truth about Dr. Sue's professionalism and tremendous contribution to this community, they will do the right thing and renew her contract."
Cunan said he has three sons who have benefited under Segura's leadership. Last year his son Luis Rubalcava-Cunan was salutatorian. Cunan said Luis attributes much of his success to the guidance of Segura.
Cunan is Segura's family attorney.
Miglis was hired in October 2012 as superintendent of schools. She had been assistant superintendent at Silver Valley Unified School District.
There are several recent appointees to the board: Leslie Edlund began her term in December 2012, while Bret Cook began serving in April 2011. Bob Tuerck has been a board member since December 2010.
President Chris Russell is in his fifth year as a board member and Sonja Anderson has been serving the board since December 2002.
Although no reasons have been given for Segura's contract non-renewal, there is ongoing litigation against the district, filed by J.C. Eaglesmith, that names Segura as a defendant.
Five-year QHS teacher Ron Logan spoke out in support of Segura. "The culture and climate has been vastly improved since Sue got here," he said.
"The focus on academics in the classroom has been much better. There are several members of the staff who share that sentiment.
"She has made me a better teacher in the last four years," he said. "In the 20 years that I've been teaching in the district, Sue is one of the best, if not the best administrator I've worked with."
A secretary who answered a phone call seeking comment from Miglis said the superintendent was out of the office Monday.
School board members said they could not comment on the action taken during closed session.

This gearmotor is a miniature (0.94" x 0.39" x 0.47"), high-power brushed DC motor with 250:1 metal gearbox, similar to Sanyo's popular 12 mm gearmotors. These units have a 0.365"-long, 3 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft.
Key specs at 6 V: 120 RPM and 70 mA free-run, 60 oz-in (4.3 kg-cm) and 1.6 A stall.
These tiny brushed DC gearmotors are intended for use at 6 V, though in general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 - 9 V range (rotation can start at voltages as low as 0.5 V). Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. The micro metal gearmotors are available in a wide range of gear ratios-from 5:1 up to 1000:1-and offer a choice between three different motors: high-power (HP), medium-power (MP), and standard. With the exception of the 1000:1 gear ratio versions, all of the micro metal gearmotors have the same physical dimensions, so one version can be easily swapped for another if your design requirements change.Some versions of the gearmotors are sold with an additional 1mm-diameter output shaft that protrudes from the rear of the motor. This 4.5mm-long rear shaft rotates at the same speed as the input to the gearbox and offers a way to add a custom-built encoder to provide motor speed or position feedback.Full range of motors available

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
A mechanical bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage in the intestine, which is also called the bowel. Blockages can occur at any point along the small or large bowel. They are more common in the small bowel. When the bowel is blocked, food and liquid cannot pass through. Over time, food, liquid, and gas build up in the area above the blockage.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Most small bowel blockages are due to adhesions. An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that causes the bowel to attach to the abdominal wall or other organs. Most large bowel obstructions are caused by tumors.
Specific causes of bowel obstructions include:
Factors that increases your chance of getting a bowel obstruction include anything that is likely to cause scar tissue or a blockage, such as:
Symptoms of a bowel obstruction include:
Complications from an untreated obstruction can include strangulation, which is cutting off the blood supply to part of the intestine.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A stethoscope will be placed on your abdomen to listen for bowel sounds. If the normal bowel sounds are absent, or if high pitched, tinkling sounds are present, it may be an indication of bowel obstruction.
Your bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with:
Images may need to be taken. This can be done with abdominal x-rays, such as:
Bowel obstructions can be serious, even fatal. If your doctor thinks you have a bowel obstruction, you will be hospitalized and treated. Your treatment will depend on what part of your bowel is blocked and what is causing the blockage.
Possible treatments include the following:
During surgery, the blocked part of the bowel may be removed. The remaining sections will then be joined together. You will probably need a nasogastric tube temporarily after surgery. In addition, you may need antibiotics and pain medication during recovery.
Prevention of bowel obstruction depends on the cause. Some bowel obstructions cannot be prevented. The following actions may help reduce your risk of a bowel obstruction:

"BIG Knuckles"
I am so glad I gave these a try,they are about the same if not bigger than the Merrick and Jones knuckles and a much better price. Our pit bulls love these! They grind them down to nothing and when the knuckle gets too small our chihuahua gets the rest. Highly recommend these to everyone. FYI they are greasy!

In the beginning of 1998 Darkane rose out of the ashes of Agretator, an ill-fated but talented band giving Watchtower (of course you remember them!) a run for the money. When Agretator became history, drummer Peter Wildoer and guitarist Christofer Malmström teamed up with fellow six stringer Klas Ideberg and bass player Jörgen Löfberg.

Hey Michael, next time you bench these boards can you please test the USB speed by doing a simple file copy test?
Phoronix: Quad-Core ODROID-X Battles NVIDIA Tegra 3
While not as popular as NVIDIA's Tegra 3 ARM SoC, the Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 found on cheaply priced ODROID-X can actually outperform the quad-core NVIDIA ARM processor. Here are benchmarks of the $129 USD ODROID-X benchmarked against the NVIDIA Tegra 3 reference tablet and a PandaBoard ES running the Texas Instruments OMAP4460.
Hey Michael, next time you bench these boards can you please test the USB speed by doing a simple file copy test?
Ethernet testing would be good too, because on many of these the ethernet is actually via USB, which causes huge cpu usage and also limits it to below even 100 Mbps. The Pi has it via USB, for example.
Nice tests!
When will we see an Atom/Medfield vs Cortex-A9 battle again? I'm tired reading people claims that Medfield is faster even though I know it isn't
Well, Atom often *is* faster than Cortex-A9, mostly because of high clock speed and good single-threaded performance. Cortex-A15 changes the game, though.

Designer prom dresses for less
Today's prom girls are looking to the red carpet for inspiration more than ever — much to their parents' dismay. Take A-list ingredients like jewels, organza and lace, and tie them all together with a designer label, and what do you get? A tab that will rival that first semester college tuition bill.
Some high-end designers — among them Marchesa's Georgina Chapman, Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier — offer evening collections that take some of the sting out of that price tag.
"Prom in my mind is about having fun," says Chapman, who designed Pearl, a collection of formal looks for J.C. Penney costing from about $70 to $180. "If a girl is looking for a more formal option, we offer floor-length gowns that are feminine and whimsical," says Chapman. "For a more fun and flirty look, we have a range of cocktail dresses where we've added special details."
Though Marchesa gowns can go for upward of $4,000, Chapman says Pearl doesn't sacrifice quality or style.
"I approach designing for both Marchesa and Pearl with the same level of respect and the same intention: to help women look and feel beautiful," she says. "I pay close attention to detail to make sure that both collections embody my signature style and design sensibility."
And the same is evident in other designers' creations — from the wistful floral appliqués in a White by Vera Wang tulle dress ($198) to the stunning silhouette of a black lace and chiffon floor-length ML Monique Lhuillier gown ($298).
Here, some of our picks that are sure to turn high school girls into Hollywood head-turners, if only for a night. -- By Nina Ruggiero

Lakers girls win two straight to get back to .500
Despite trailing at the half, Danbury dominated the second half and took control in their 49-30 victory over Gibsonburg in Toledo Area Athletic Conference action last week.
With the Golden Bears leading 24-22 at halftime, the Lakers (10-10, 7-5 TAAC) won the third quarter, 13-5, to take the lead for good at 35-29 before blowing the game open with a 14-1 edge in the final period.
Katie Almendinger had 16 points to lead all scorers and Alyssa Almendinger chipped in with 13 while Megan Stephens scored nine points. The Bears got seven points from Brittney Holcomb and five apiece from Danielle Fork and Marisa Alvarado.
