Doing your own work...
Over the past year or so, I've continued to receive spam from a number of websites selling term papers, research papers, and other false documents - sites like this one. One goes down, another comes up. (I'm not giving anything away with this link - a simple Google search will turn up hundreds of these.)
There seems to be a growing trend, both in the USA and abroad, of people taking the shortcuts and not doing the work for themselves. The WIRED article talks about some of the people who have been tracked down with false credentials - these include many government workers and even a US Marshall!
Over the past few years, we've had a handful of people post requests for programs on the forum. Sometimes these requests have come from students who state quite clearly that the program is for an assignment. Apparently this problem has no age barriers.
I worry that one day I'll be driving across a bridge designed by a civil engineer who got his degree by simply paying $1500.00 for the piece of paper.
The contributors here at The NXT Step are good about pushing students who request hard answers to do the work themselves... but let's be honest and agree that the likelihood of a student who posts this kind of request actually saying "Okay, I'll go study more" is very slim. What are your thoughts?

Two observations I have made; First, I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Over the last 4 years, I have been in about twelve interviews for engineering positions and not one of them has asked to see my diploma or any evidence that I actually earned my degree. But generally they ask enough questions during the interview to determine whether or not you are the right person for the job. Secondly, in my 12 years of being a degreed engineer, I have had two supervisors who were doing engineering work and neither had a degree in engineering. So in my experience, it's not the piece of paper that makes the engineer, it is the person.
As for your worry about the bridge, all major constructions like that are looked at by more than one set of eyes. At that time, the unqualified person would be identified and dealt with appropriately (hopefully). But that doesn't mean smaller items that are in our home that are looked at by only one set of eyes can't be hazardous. That is why things like Underwriters Laboratory are so important.

I should say that two of the brightest engineers I know do not have a bachelor's degree---but they are brilliant and own an international engineering/manufacturing firm.
I still think it should be illegal to sell papers for the purposes of fraud.

I am in the middle with the "we don't do your homework answer". I DO NOT feel that we should "do their homework", but sometimes some folks (including me) forget that "Google is your friend". Instead of the canned answer "we don't do your homework". I like a question back to the student, "have you Googled xxx search term" followed by an answer "I did and found yyy number of responses". I believe this can help students to learn how to research, instead of just asking for and getting canned answers.
Sometimes, when the problem the student is asking about is quite complex I have seen responses that describe a set of steps to go help the student through a process of analysis of the problem to break it down into smaller problems (which can still be quite involved) and then the student can find a solution to each of the smaller problems.
Sometimes, even a code fragment can be some help and can be a stimulus to inspire the student to complete the project on their own.
I have seen both types of answers to students, from "here's the solution" to "we don't do your homework." I feel the answer to helping the students lies somewhere in between.

Fay - there are lots of things that shouldn't be done. That doesn't stop (or even slow down) people from doing them, or getting around rules people put in place to try to limit them. I think the websites etc. that provide these services are run by shady, greedy, scammers.
But that's not what concerns me; those sorts will always be around.
The problem is the number of *students* who view these are valid options. I have some nearly every term (& a large number of them get caught). Until the student views an eduction as a goal unto itself, this sort of thing will thrive. The fact that most places don't bother to check the credentials (so that scams like this operate) says that we often value the end result (a degree, or a robot) *far* more than the value of the process (a true education, or learning about the design and troubleshooting process).
Shep - you note that things like bridges "are looked at with more than one set of eyes". That's a cost. You may have a system (double-checks) to filter out the mistakes, but by having folks like this in the workforce, you both increase the risk of something slipping through, as well as increase the cost because of poor work, double-checking, and redoing poor calculations. The fact that it doesn't lead to a fatal result doesn't make it any less destructive in my opinion.
Andy - I suspect all of us here have helped... let's say, "a significant number of people". If somebody is willing to *learn*, it's rather rare that they are brushed off with "do your own homework". The problem is the folks who aren't willing to work for what they want... and *do* find it easier via Google or Wiki.
There are reasons I don't make detailed plans for many of my creations (but leave a wealth of hints), or only put up most of my NXT-G stuff as images of code fragments (not executable, modifiable .rbt files). Believe me, I've been asked!

Brian, be careful not to discount "learning by example" completely, it can work well in many cases. It's certainly not a substitute for thinking, but it may allow someone to clear a hurdle that then enables some further thinking.
Also, on teaching kids who don't seem to want to learn. I sympathize, and it's frustrating. I try to learn and think in everything that I get involved in and wish others would too. Let's hope that most of these shortcut takers are in many cases just trying to "get through" a particular class that they are not that interested in and will end up in a job where they are using skills they actually put more effort into. Still definitely not an excuse and short-sighted on the student's part, but maybe it will help a bit with that "driving over the bridge" feeling...
There is so much to learn. In fact, I think one of the big unsolved problems in education is that there is simply too much to teach a kid before s/he "graduates". You want everyone to start out well-rounded, but there is just too much to choose from in 18 or so years!

"be careful not to discount 'learning by example' completely, it can work well in many cases."
Absolutely - that's why I put up examples (screenshots) on Brickshelf. That way, in order to use those examples, they must go through the steps to recreate them... not just "grab and use". The difference between learning by example, and copying from example, is often a matter of time invested... and there are ways to enforce use only after some time is invested :).
"Let's hope that most of these shortcut takers are in many cases just trying to 'get through' a particular class that they are not that interested in and will end up in a job where they are using skills they actually put more effort into."
That tends to teach them it's OK to get around the education when they don't think they need it. The problem is... they often don't know ahead of time what they do or doubt need (the point of an education). If what you're looking for is a trade school, great - take only the classes that deal with that trade, and ignore the bigger picture. If what you are trying to do is give people a true education... then yep, the history and psych and writing classes are at least as important as "the stuff you like".
As I've explained to my students each term, if I have to live in the world with you... if I have to be influenced by your job, or perhaps even more importantly your vote... than what I will strive for around me is a truly educated population. Because everybody here gets a vote, and they tend to be equal... regardless of critical thinking skills, work ethic, or informed background.
How does the bridge look now ;) ?

Yep, I agree, that's what I meant by shortsighted... Some students are lazy, and some are mis-trained (unfortunately I think our standards and equality obcessed system encourages this mis-training to seek answers rather than thinking from an early age, so they are misguided before they even get to you...), but some may just think they are making a practical decision. They are thinking that the end result of lesson xyz is to learn z, and, stuck on x, they think seeking an answer to x will lead them to learn z. Many may be wrong, but in some cases they may actually be right. If they really cannot get unstuck on x, then cutting corners on x, then ultimately learning y and z is perhaps better than staying stuck at x and "failing". Problem is, it's hard to tell which is which (getting unstuck vs. just cheating yourself), especially for the young, who don't have the judgement and hindsight.
I personally wish that trying and failing were more acceptable in the schools, so that we would get more trying, more learning how to think, and kids would get to know their strengths better over time. As is (no child left behind and all) failing in any area is unacceptable, so the program evolves into one that ensures all kids end up with the answers necessary when it comes time to take that test. Urk.
I'm pretty sure we agree in principle here. I'm just blaming the schools rather than the students. The kids I work with are too young to make good choices on this, and then the schools mess them up before they even get to you. Double Urk.

I've been following along on the back-and-forth comments... really enjoying the discussion.
It's unfortunate that not every student is given an equal education and encouragement from the "good teachers" that we all remember. My physics teacher in high school was outstanding - hands-on experiments, in-class demonstrations, and a requirement for us to keep a lab journal (and use it properly) all contributed to my desire to learn new things and do my own work.
I love making mistakes... it's how I know I'm not getting stagnant and taking shortcuts. I think we can all agree that students who don't do their own work are just hurting themselves - unfortunately, they don't realize it or won't realize it for a long time. I think we should all be encouraging kids (and adults) to investigate things for themselves, whether for personal, education, or work related needs.
Like Brian, I'm always glad to offer suggestions or a helping hand, but I have to see a desire to dig a little deeper rather than a "give me the answer" attitude.

It would be an understatement to say that the nation's capital is a unique place. The centrally located National Mall is an urban planning gem, with excellent open spaces, walking paths, and major monuments in a classic architectural style. Lining the mall is the Smithsonian museum complex, probably the best set of museums in the world in a single location. In reality, the whole mall setup is a museum in and of itself and a major destination for locals and visitors alike. Numerous government offices and first class hospitality venues surround the mall. To the northwest of the mall, but still within the city limits, lies the upscale residential and commercial enclave of Georgetown, home to Georgetown University, George Washington Hospital, and a variety of entertainment and nightlife amenities. But not all of the D.C. central city glitters; to the north and east in particular lies a considerable expanse of socioeconomically mixed neighborhoods and areas of urban decay.
For most prospective residents, the real story of the D.C. area is the array of residential and commercial corridors surrounding the city on all sides. Just south across the Potomac in Virginia lies Fairfax County, a built-up area including the satellite city of Arlington and the larger suburbs of Alexandria, McLean, and the more upscale Fairfax. This is hardly the whole Northern Virginia story – the sprawling D.C. suburbs spread for miles into the one-time countryside, south into Prince William County and especially west into Loudoun County along the Dulles Airport corridor.
The super-suburbs (especially west) include such names Reston, Herndon, Ashburn and extend to Leesburg, all very large and mostly new residential suburbs, some well-planned and some not. Extensive commercial and corporate developments lie along the corridor with new-economy names like AOL, Nextel, Siebel, Oracle, IBM and Accenture mixed with numerous other businesses and government contractors. Employment in the greater DC area is strong in general and particularly strong in this zone. Many do commute to the DC area proper but more often commute to other places in the suburbs
The outlying northern Virginia suburbs in most ways meet the definition of "exurbs," where people benefit economically from the city and may use its airport, but have little daily connection with it. Areas east of the city are more industrial and generally uninspiring, while the Maryland suburbs along I-270 northwest through Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, and Gaithersburg have been split off into another metro area.
The dominance of the U.S. Government and its impact on the local economy and culture cannot be overstated. Not surprisingly, the area has a high percentage of well-educated citizens. But a significant number of educationally and economically disadvantaged people are also within its borders. Arts, entertainment and cultural assets in total are among the best. The Cost of Living Index is high but not exorbitant for this type of area. Housing options and costs have escalated in recent years, but there are signs of softening. Growth and sprawl is a major concern, with development and business activity flung farther out into the countryside and even across venerated Civil War historic sites. Public transportation works well as far out as Dulles Airport and northwest into Maryland, but whether it relieves traffic issues further out is yet unclear.
Bottom line - Washington, D.C. and its Virginia suburbs stand alone as a U.S. city and metro area with unique beauty, plenty to see and do, an active and intellectually stimulating lifestyle, and a wide variety of employment and living options. It does have downsides, and they are becoming strong enough even in the suburbs to negatively impact the ranking. The D.C. area isn't for everyone, but most who live there are glad they do.
Washington lies at the western edge of the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, about 50 miles east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and 35 miles west of Chesapeake Bay. The immediate area is flat with rolling hills starting just outside the city to the northwest and southwest. The climate is coastal continental with a subtropical influence. Summers are warm and humid with occasional hot, sticky spells and thunderstorms. Because of the inland location, summer heat and humidity aren't offset by sea breezes. Winters are cold but not severe. Precipitation is uniformly distributed throughout the year. Potomac floods can result from heavy rains, sometimes augmented by snowmelt and high tides. Normal winter snowfall is 18 inches, but occasional heavy snows of 25 inches or more do occur. First freeze is early November, last is April 1.

This past fall, NMCA racers and some of the wildest LSX-powered machines assaulted Gateway International Raceway near St. Louis in one of the track's final racing moments in its storied history. The backstory to the NMCA-Edelbrock World Finals was how it was the last national event hosted by the famous facility. The track closed its doors permanently at the conclusion of the 2010 racing schedule and the NMCA World Finals sent it off with a big one.
The World Finals plays host to the LSX Shootout, presented by GM Performance Parts, making it a larger than normal season finale. A packed house included over 10,000 fans and 572 vehicles entered in race and show categories. We can't forget the 60 or so vendors displaying the latest go-fast goodies and show-only sales. Here are the highlights from the combo event.
The Fastest Fifth-Gen Camaros Hit the 'Strip
Rob Valden drove the Late Model Engineering '10 Camaro in competition. This was the first 9-second fifth-gen Camaro thanks to a 427ci engine, a ProCharger centrifugal blower, and a shot of juice, and it still carries its full street credentials.
It's safe to declare the Camaro an overwhelming success at this point as Chevy rolled out its '11 models and sales are still very strong. It didn't take long for these cars to hit the dragstrip last year and start knocking off quick times. The LSX Shootout brought out the quickest cars for the Fifth-Gen Camaro Shootout and the boys at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) had the quickest and fastest ride. The shootout entries were determined by picking the quickest four cars from the index-based Gen 5 Camaro Challenge. Topping the list was John Ebert, the pilot of the LPE entry, and the team squared off against Owen Priest, Paul Murphy, and Rob Valden. Three of the cars ran in the 9s, with the Valden being the exception, but the late-model Racecraft-built ride has been in the 9.80s in testing.
The LPE Camaro seems simple from the outside; stuff an LS9 engine (ZR1 bullet) into a Camaro, add LPE and Pedders suspension parts, big 'n' little tires, and a little shot of juice to make it more fun. The part that people haven't seen is the R&D that went into the car to make it run mid 9s at the shootout. The car also has been upgraded with a RPS triple-disc clutch, prototype LPE clutch pedal kit, full exhaust system, loads of dyno time to tune it to perfection (1,243 rwhp), and dozens of runs down the track to get it all working properly. The end result was a Shootout best of 9.46 at 151 mph in the final round as he took out Paul Murphy who ran 9.84 at 143 mph. Shortly after the LSX Shootout the Lingenfelter team continued to chisel away at the combination and the fifth-gen's new best run is a stout 8.99 at 158 mphmaking it the first 8-second late-model Camaro. It's even more impressive that it was done on the IRS rear suspension and with a six-speed Tremec TR6060 manual box still in the trans tunnel.

I can't simply connect the HDD to my PC and copy over the content; the drive isn't recognised in windows. I was wondering if there was any kind of workaround that would give me access to the content stored on the drive so I can save it before my HDD goes kaput.

Ch. 5.1 – Sundays at 7:00 pm. & Ch. 9.1 – Mondays at 9:00 pm.
Airing September 30 – November 4
— Highest-Rated New Drama Debut in BBC History —
This moving, intimate, funny and true-to-life series, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, tells colorful stories of midwifery and families in London's East End in the 1950s.
Jenny Lee, a young woman raised in the wealthy English countryside, has chosen to become a nurse and now, as a newly qualified midwife, has gone to work in the poorest area of the city. Attached to an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House, Jenny is part of a team of women who minister to expectant mothers, many of whom give birth at home in appalling conditions. The drama follows Jenny as she meets her patients and learns to love the people who live in the East End.
The highest-rated drama debut in BBC history, this six-part series will lead into the new, second season of MASTERPIECE CLASSIC "Upstairs Downstairs," premiering Sunday, October 7 at 9:00 pm n Ch.5.1.
"CALL THE MIDWIFE is a riveting new series that strengthens PBS as a destination for drama on Sunday nights," said Paula Kerger, PBS President and CEO. "We look forward to working with our BBC partners to introduce the story and the characters that were so beloved in Britain to the American audience."
Based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, CALL THE MIDWIFE is a moving and intimate story of midwifery in London's East End in the 1950s. The series follows a young Jenny Lee as she and her fellow midwives, attached to an order of nursing nuns, navigate the crowded East End streets teeming with children, workers and a culture remarkably different from the wealthy English countryside where Jenny was raised. Vanessa Redgrave provides the voice of the mature Jennifer.
The drama unfolds as Jenny meets her patients, including one woman who is on her 25th pregnancy and a young, 15 year-old prostitute pregnant for the first time. Initially shocked by the health and living conditions of the East End, Jenny soon learns to admire the families she works with, along with the sisters and fellow midwives who witness the daily drama of life in this vibrant community.
Executive producer Pippa Harris said, "CALL THE MIDWIFE has excited the imagination of viewers in the UK and I am confident it will do the same in the US. Heidi Thomas' witty and emotional scripts have perfectly captured a unique snapshot of British history, but the universal themes of childbirth, nursing and parenthood ring true throughout the world."
Full episodes of CALL THE MIDWIFE will be available for viewing on the New Mexico PBS Video Portal for 30 days after each national broadcast.
CALL THE MIDWIFE contains mature content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
Episode 1

I am coming from iOS which I've used since 2009.
The Hardware
- The button for the camera couldn't have been put in a worse place on the handset, this sucks.
- The rest is awesome
- Seriously Microsoft, all the search button does is open Bing? Worst implementation of a hardware button yet, it also adds unnecessary bloat to the UI as a Search icon is needed in individual apps as well.
- Back button doesn't always work in apps, it can back out of a current app page or out of the app completely, not consistent.
- Network/WIFI indicator isn't always shown, you have to manually swipe down to see it. I would have preferred to have this on display all the time, including within apps.
- No combined notifications center. This is quite annoying, it is quite new in iOS and I already miss it!
- The keyboard can be different per app??? and sometimes the keyboard is even white! (I am using the dark profile of WP8 theme) this makes it confusing to use. I am certain there are at least 3 keyboards (one being white) with keys placed differently @ present or not on the main keyboard, and there could be 4 or maybe the keyboards vary per app?
- Start screen isn't like Windows 8 where it can be horizontally wide, only option is vertically long instead (inconsistent again).
- Spelling/word suggestions when typing isn't OS-wide, sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't.
- You can't select all/copy/cut/paste all the time in text fields universally like in iOS which is annoying if a site is having issues meaning I have to manually type my email address in each time again (I got this when trying to link linkedin with the people hub).
- Can't set alerts per app. I don't want sound/vibrate for every Facebook notification but I do for Whatsapp/Viber for example. You can have all sound alerts (other apps) or none at all.

Call your cable company would be my first suggestion. They will need to test and verify your db at the modem. If you moved it you may have some loss, if they made a change at the pole you may have some loss.
If you are leasing it, regardless of how old it is, they should be replacing it or there should be no further charge on your bill for leasing your device.

'but since I own the modem now, they wont replace it for free."
So your NOT paying anything for the modem for on your bill then.. So its not like you leased it, you just bought it from them on a payment plan.
If they are still charging you a modem lease fee, then they should replace it with their current modem if there is something not working on yours.
If your modem is suppose to be docsis 3, but your only getting connected at docsis 2 - then seems more like an isp issue and not a modem issue. Purchasing your own docsis 3 modem would not fix an issue on their end.
Where exactly are you seeing your only connected via 2? Could you post what your seeing that makes you believe your only on docsis 2 vs 3?
I personally don't like the lease option on any sort of hardware - I will just buy my own thank you I have a SB6120 and have not had issue one with it, on comcast. But if they were just charging for it, and then stopped - that just sounds like some sort of rent to own thing, not a normal cable modem lease deal.

How do you fix that?
Posted 07 December 2012 - 18:53
Leave the modem connected 24/7 and the exchange will slowly ramp the speed back up until it reaches your lines max speed you got within the initial 10 day line test at the beginning of your connection date
You can also call the ISP and ask them to reset the line and begin your 10 day line test again
Posted 07 December 2012 - 19:01
Well only when it gets flakey. otherwise, it's connected.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 19:02
Still, if you are rebooting the modem every day, its going to seem like there is a problem with the line
My modem hasn't been rebooted in months
Anyway, that's how it works here, so if you are getting a low connection sync, don't reboot it and see if it settles itself after a couple weeks
Posted 07 December 2012 - 23:08
I attached some screen shots. The only thing that says DOCSIS 2.0 is upstream apparently. Other than that stuff, I am not sure if anything is wrong

In this Notice, Planned Parenthood of Collier County, Inc.(PPCC) may be referred to as "we", "our", or "us."
We understand that your health information is personal. We may obtain information about your health from exams, tests, or from others who have provided you with care. We are committed to protecting your health information. This Notice will explain our privacy practices. It will describe:
1.How Your Health Information Will Be Used and Disclosed
2.Your Rights Related to Your Health Information
3.The Contact Person for More Information or for Complaints
This Notice is required by law. However, we may change our Notice at any time. Any of the changes that we make may apply to the information we already have and to new information. We will provide you with any new notice upon request. The new notice will also be posted at our clinics and other locations.
OUR CURRENT NOTICE Effective April 14, 2003
1.How Your Health Information Will Be Used and Disclosed
We may use or disclose your health information for a number of reasons. This Notice explains those reasons. It also gives some examples of the uses and disclosures. The examples do not list every use or disclosure that may occur. However, any time that we use your information, or disclose it to someone else without your express authorization, it will fit one of the reasons listed here.
Treatment. We may use health information about you to provide you with healthcare treatment and services. We may disclose health information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, health students, volunteers or other personnel who are involved in taking care of you. They may work at our offices, or at another doctor's office, lab, pharmacy, or other healthcare provider to whom we may refer you for consultation, to take x-rays, to perform lab tests, to have prescriptions filled, or for other treatment purposes. For example, a doctor treating you may need to know if you have diabetes because diabetes may slow the healing process. We may provide that information to a physician treating you at another institution.
Payment. We may use and disclose health information about you to bill and collect payment from you, an insurance company, a state Medicaid agency or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health insurance plan information about your office visit so your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the visit. Alternatively, we may need to give your health information to the state Medicaid agency so that we may be reimbursed for providing services to you. In some instances, we may need to tell your health plan about a treatment you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the treatment.
Healthcare Operations. We may use and disclose health information about you to operate our healthcare practice. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run our practice and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. For example, we may use health information to review our treatment and services and to evaluate the performance of our staff in caring for you. We may also combine health information about many patients to decide what additional services we should offer, what services are not needed, whether certain new treatments are effective, or to compare how we are doing with others and to see whether we can make improvements. We may remove information that identifies you from this set of health information so others may use it to study healthcare delivery without learning who our specific patients are. Also, we may share your health information with third parties who provide services or functions that are essential to our business. These third parties are called "business associates," and they may include billing agents or transcriptions services. We will make sure that all business associates have signed a written contract that will protect the privacy of your health information.
Appointment Reminders. We may use and disclose health information to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment. Please let us know if you do not wish us to contact you concerning your appointment, or if you wish to have us use a different telephone number or address to contact you for this purpose.
Fundraising Activities: We currently do not use health information about you to contact you in an effort to raise money for our not-for-profit operations.
Research. We currently do not use health information about you to conduct research.
As Required by Law. We will disclose health information about you when required to do so by federal, state, or local law.
To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety. We may use and disclose health information about you when necessary to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person. The disclosure would only be made to someone able to help prevent the threat.
Military and Veterans. If you are a current or former member of the armed forces, we may release health information about you as required by military command authorities or the Department of Veterans Affairs as may be applicable. We may also release health information about foreign military personnel to the appropriate foreign military authorities.
Workers' Compensation. We may release health information about you for workers' compensation or similar programs. These programs provide benefits for work-related injuries or illness.
Public Health Risks. We may disclose health information about you for public health activities. These activities generally include the following:
- To prevent or control disease, injury or disability;
- To report births and deaths;
- To report child abuse or neglect;
- To report reactions to medications or problems with products;
- To notify people of recalls of products they may be using;
- To notify a person who may have been exposed to a disease or may be at risk for contracting or spreading a disease or condition;
- To notify the appropriate government authority if we believe a patient has been the victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
We will only make this disclosure if you agree or when required or authorized by law.
Health Oversight Activities. We may disclose health information to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law. These oversight activities include, for example, audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure. These activities are necessary for the government to monitor the health care system, government programs, and compliance with civil rights laws.
Lawsuits and Disputes. If you are involved in a lawsuit or a dispute with a third party, we may disclose health information about you in response to an order issued by a court or administrative tribunal. We may also disclose health information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only after efforts have been made to tell you about the request and you have time to obtain an order protecting the information requested.
Law Enforcement. We may release health information if asked to do so by a law enforcement official:
- In response to a court order, court-ordered subpoena, warrant or summons or similar process;
- To identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, material witness, or missing person;
- If you are the victim of a crime and we are unable to obtain your consent;
- About a death we believe may be the result of criminal conduct;
- In an instance of criminal conduct at our facility; and
- In emergency circumstances to report a crime; the location of the crime or victims or the identity, description, or location of the person who committed the crime.
Coroners, Health Examiners and Funeral Directors. We may release health information to a coroner or health examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death. We may also release health information about patients to funeral directors as necessary to carry out their duties.
Inmates. If you are an inmate of a correctional institute or under the custody of a law enforcement official, we may release health information about you the correctional institution or law enforcement official. This release would be necessary: (1) for the institution to provide you with healthcare; (2) to protect your health and safety or the health and safety of others; or (3) for the safety and security of the correctional institution.
Other Uses of Health Information Based upon Your Written Authorization.
Other uses and disclosures of your health information will be made only with your written authorization. You may provide, amend, or revoke your authorization, in writing, at any time. We are unable to take back any disclosures we have already made. You may not revoke an authorization to the extent that we have already taken action in reliance on it. For more information about authorizations, please contact the Privacy Official.

If your request is accepted, we may charge a fee for the costs of locating, copying, mailing or processing your request. If your request is denied, you have the right to have this decision reviewed.

Please contact the Privacy Official if you have questions about inspecting or copying your information.
Right to Amend. If you feel that your health information is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information. You have the right to request an amendment for as long as we keep the information. All requests must be made in writing on a form provided by us. You should send the signed form to the Privacy Official at the address listed on page 1.
In certain cases, we may deny your request for an amendment. For example, we may deny your request if it is not the form provided by us or if the request is not signed. We may also deny your request if: (1) we did not create the information, (2) it is not part of the health information kept by or for our practice; (3) the information is something that you would not be permitted to inspect and copy; or (4) the information is accurate and complete.
Amendments to your health information may be disclosed to those with whom we disclose information as previously specified.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to request a list (accounting) of certain disclosures that we have made. This right applies to disclosures for purposes other than treatment, payment, and health care operations as described in this Notice. It also excludes disclosures you have authorized, disclosures made directly to you, disclosures to family members or friends involved in your care, and disclosures for national security or law enforcement officials.
You must request this list of disclosures on a form that we will provide to you. Your request must state a time period for the disclosures. The time period may not be longer than 6 years and it may not begin before April 14, 2003.
The first list of disclosures within a 12-month period will be free. We may charge you for the costs of additional lists. We will notify you of the cost involved and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request before any costs are incurred. Your right to receive the list may be subject to certain conditions, restrictions, and limitations. Please contact the Privacy Official for more information about accountings.
Right to Request Restrictions. You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the health information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment, or health care operations.

You may also complain to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.
Special Section for Minors and Persons with Guardians
This Notice of Privacy Practices also applies to minors and incapacitated adults. Minors and incapacitated adults enjoy the same basic privacy protections as those listed above for their health information. However, because by law minors and incapacitated adults cannot make health care decisions for themselves, either a parent or a guardian must make medical decisions on their behalf. Consequently, because parents or guardians make health care decisions on behalf of minors or incapacitated adults, parents or guardians can authorize the use and disclosure of minors' or incapacitated adults' health information as if the parents or guardians were in the minors' or incapacitated adults' shoes. When making health care decisions on behalf of minors or incapacitated adults, parents or guardians also hold all of the rights listed in this Notice related to the protection of such health information, including the right to inspect and copy and the right to amend.
While oftentimes a minor's health care decisions are made by a parent or guardian, there are certain situations where minors can make their own healthcare decisions independent of parental or guardian knowledge or consent. Such situations are heavily regulated by law and include minors who have become emancipated, minors who are donating blood or tissue samples and minors who are independently seeking examination and treatment for a sexually transmissible disease. It is important to note that when making such an independent health care decision, only the minor can authorize the use and disclosure of the minor's health information with respect to the independent health care decision. Moreover, the minor holds all of the rights listed in this Notice related to the protection of health information concerning such an independent health care decision. However, if the minor elects to inform the parent or guardian and obtain parental or guardian consent for the independent health care decision, then all of the privacy rights regarding the health information for the independent health care decision may revert back to the parent or guardian.
There are also certain situations where adults other than the parent or guardian can access, use and/or disclose a minor's health information without the consent of the parent or guardian. These situations usually occur where the law recognizes that the health or safety of the minor is in danger and access to or use and disclosure of health information without appropriate authorization is necessary to appropriately protect the minor. Such situations include minors who are suffering from emergency medical conditions, minors who have independently sought contraceptive information and services, and minors who are victims of child abuse, abandonment or neglect.

Did you know that a few years ago snowboarding was the second fastest growing sport in United states behind synchronized swimming? Huh…not really. It was the fastest growing sport in US period and it is still getting bigger. That means lots of beginners. Lots of beginners coming to this site looking for advice on snowboarding equipment, advice on how to snowboard, how to do snowboard tricks etc. So we decided to write a short how to snowboard guide to get you guys started.
At the beginning we wanted to do a comprehensive snowboard guide but it quickly became clear to us that this is not a really good idea, since this is the time we would rather spend riding, raising a family, travel the world, finish college and well…you got the picture :)
A few how to snowboard tips for beginners that will get you through your first days on a snowboard
These are tips that we can give to anyone who is just starting or thinking about starting… this will save you a few problems and put you in the right direction:
1. Choose the right snowboard
A softer and shorter snowboard will be much easier to handle when you are starting out. What is a shorter snowboard? Generally a snowboard should reach up to your chin if you stand it against you. Take away an inch or two if you are a beginner (and add an inch or two if you are a powder monkey :) ). What is a softer snowboard? Freestyle snowboards are generally softer that freeride. You just have to try a soft one and a hard one to see the difference. Or you can try to bend it with your hands.
Should you buy or rent? We would say rent just to make sure you really try how to snowboard and see if you like it (duh, sure you will). Otherwise a better, newer snowboard is easier to ride. Its lighter, handles better etc… a crappy old snowboard from your friend that is "still good for a begginer" can be a pain in the ass :)!
2. Choose the right time
When you are learning how to snowboard the conditions should be someting like this: enough snow, no crowds, no ice, sun…reads like a perfect day. Hell, conditions should be like that every day you ride! :) At least stay away from the icy crowded slopes. Ice hurts when you fall and the edges of your snowboard will give you problems on ice – you need more balance to stay up.
3. Choose the right slope
When you are learning how to snowboard all you need is a gentle slope without crowds. You don't even have to buy the ticket the first time, just find a really easy slope and walk up. Some resorts even have beginner slopes that are free and you don't have to buy a ticket.
4. How To Snowboard – beginner technique
1. Take some lessons. First few hours or days are the worst and a certified snowboard instructor will make things much easier.
2. How to snowboard? LEAN FORWARD! No matter how many times we say it, people always lean back. They get scared when the board starts picking up speed and instead of leaning forward and taking control they lean back and…fall. So it helps to choose a really easy slope where you pick up speed really slowly.
3. Also – you'll get hurt. This is not an advice, it's a fact :) The first time I went snowboarding I could not climb out of the bath in the evening. Every muscle you know and don't know you have will remind you that you abused it.
4. And remember It's FUN!!!! It's tons of FUN!! Its gazillions of fun :) Try it, you will not be sorry. Snowboarding is actually pretty easy to pick up if you have someone to tell you how to do it right. It is not so much of a technical sport as it is a feeling. Like riding a bike. Sure to learn it correctly you do have to use the right technique, but it's much less anal about it like for instance skiing. Freedom. In a few days you will be able to ride with no problems. If you are a natural you can do it on your first day. And what is really cool about snowboarding – you progress all the time. Every time you go snowboarding you are a better snowboarder at the end of the day.
BTW, if you are wondering where to – Breckenridge is great for snowboarders and you might use Breckenridge Lodging next time you hit the slopes.
Need More?
These were some tips to push you in the right direction when you are learning how to snowboard. We are not certified to give you real snowboard lessons so we wouldn't want to teach you something that can leave you negative consequences along the way. This can happen – you know how to snowboard, ride without problems, but still your technique can suck and it can stop you from going to the next level. It's all because you learned how to snowboard from a friend.
So we searched the Internet for a good online How To Snowboard guide and we really like this one here. Its written by two snowboard instructors from Whistler Mountain. Their lessons were good enough for Travis Rice, Simon Chamberlain, Mason Aguirre… So if you want to learn how to snowboard or if you want to improve your snowboard ability and push yourself to the next level – check them out. They even offer a few free lessons to see if this is what you want and need.

ur a bumm ;)
Thanks :D
Im going to Canada snowboading in about 2 weeks. I was really nervous but this guide helped me a lot.
Its my first time out of the UK, and Im going to Sun Peaks. Thanks!
Don't be nervous, it should be and it is fun. And it should be hella of lot fun if you do it in Canada :). Good luck!
yeh my brother is taking me to japan (niseko) this christmas to snowboard and never done it before but at least i know some things now!
I'm a beginner and it never fails that i always bail of the lift. I never get hurt, well except for my pride 8! Any tips for a smooth transition?
dang dude.
thanks for wasting this time of writing this 4 us.
i wouldnt do that but thanks alot dude =)
good tips 4 begginers.
Dude i sure wish that I had read this before I started snowboarding! It seems like it would of helped me a lot more then falling on my ass all the time. ;)
Bro thx for righting this rad information… I am so stoked to get out on my new board.
What is the best snowboard out on the market right now. if someone could post a comment of ones they have thought were nice that would be great.
Everywhere i went people kept trying to recommend the Burton Clash for a beginners board – i instead went for the Forum Recon which reads well for beginners. Hope this helps.
the first season i started snowboading every muscle in my body hurt and didn't stop until my second season and i only ever fall now if i get cut off or something but still were a helmet it saved my life on time, i got cut off and tumbled the hole way down the slope from top too botom and ran into 3 poles anlong the way
Ah those were times, when I 1st stood on a snowboard with an "I saw it on TV and it looked easy" attitude and fell hard 2 seconds after ;D. I can only repeat what's written in the article: get an instructor and lean forward! I didn't and it hurt much more than it could have :)
btw, I started on Nidecker Dragon board -> soft centered freestyle board (random choice, back then I thought there was only one type of snowboards in the world lol). It is very responsive and generally easy-ridden board but now I had to replace it with something more slope-friendly so I got myself a Nitro Suprateam. Advice: rent your 1st board, you won't need it for long anyway. After 2-3 seasons you will want to buy something ace :).
Hi! thank you for your site!! It's something totally new, I'm looking forward to begin!…Collect all necessary and then… I'll let you know how much it hurted! ;o)…….

Wildcat colonies are illegal, unauthorized, and secret - so when an injured stranger shows up at the wildcat colony New Seattle, the colony leaders are understandably suspicious of who he is and what he represents. His story of how he's come to their colony is shocking, surprising, and might have bigger consequences than anyone could have expected.
Walk the Plank is a tale from John Scalzi's The Human Division, a series of self-contained but interrelated short stories set in the Old Man's War universe.
Listen to the complete edition of The Human Division, the fifth full-length book by John Scalzi in the Old Man's War universe.

I love to read books; and now just recently I've discovered that audio books are very cool!! I'm also an author. You can find the SciFi book "The Curse of Europa" here on Audible or on Amazon.
"Bad style - at least for audio version"
The writing style. The narrator having to say the characters name each and every line of dialog... ouch
I think the performance suffered with what he had to work with.
I couldn't finish listening to it. I suffered through the first series but I just didn't look forward to listening, so I stopped.
Just listen to the preview and ask yourself if you can tolerate that writing style for very long in audio format. The story seemed interesting but the dialog was choppy and the poor narrator had to constantly announce the person talking. Maybe this would be a better read vs. a listen because you could just gloss over the names. Thinking about it more, maybe as just text it would be better because there are those times where you read some dialog assuming it is one character, only to find out it was someone else talking at then end.
But in audio format like this, it just drove me crazy. Since the narrator does different voices, maybe they should have cut some of the name announcing out.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Boring Hard-to-Follow Transcript"
The narrator did a good job, considering what he had to work with. He had to read the name of every speaker!!! The book is 39 minutes of a boring story that sounds like this:
Brown: Hey, John. How did you like "Walk the Plank"?
Smith: It was pretty boring. I fell asleep listening to it.
Jackson: Oh, no. And you bought the whole series, didn't you?
Smith: Yeah, Steve, I did.
Andrews: Bummer. You bought it too, didn't you, Mary?
Perkins: Yep. I'm going crazy listening to the narrator read everybody's name!
Brown: Man, I bet that really sucks.
Smith: No kidding. Hope it gets better as the series progresses.
1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
"Prologue to the next episode"
39 minutes ARE YOU SERIOUS?
If you exclude all names, there will be only 20 minutes left
this is just a prologue-side story to the next episode,
so don't waste time and buy episode 2 and 3 at once.
"I Was Disappointed"
When I downloaded the first book, I got the impression that these were self contained episodes. The first one was over 2 hours in length, and the story seemed to stand on its own.
I foolishly didn't take notice of the length when I downloaded the second. I figured that if these were episodes in the vein of television series' that they would all be of similar length. I was wrong. Not only is this "episode" only 39 minutes long, it doesn't tie in with the first episode in any way at all! There's no context for what's going on here, and it just ends abruptly. It's abundantly clear that this episode DOESN'T stand on its own.
Now, I'm sure that future "episodes" will tie these two incidents together, but that's not how episodes work! These aren't episodes at all, it's all just one continuous book that has been broken down into sections. It's a cheap trick which I imagine is intended to build anticipation but it ends up just being annoying.
Sure, other books often require a continuation of the story, but in those cases they tend to end at some properly dramatic point. They don't just end in the middle of some minor challenge.
There's no way I can give this story high marks - it's incomplete. If I'm a teacher and you hand me an incomplete essay, you'll fail. Same here. The performance was pretty good though, I found no fault with William Dufris.
This may be a riveting story when it's complete, but right now it's not. Cutting up the story into sections like this really ruins the flow. It's complete nonsense.
"Names before dialogue..."
Reading the name of the character who is talking EVERY SINGLE TIME is extremely distracting.

"Great series, needs label editing"
The series is nice as a serial release, but , really, couldn't the titles be synced up to download properly on an ipod (I'm sure other devices will choke on chapter titles embedded in the album title) . I had to spend 30min experimenting how to edit titles/albums to get a sequential download (into my device). In a few short weeks, they are all going to be available and MOST people will want all copies, and be able to listen back-to-back.
My solution, in case others need it:
1 edit all titles to have episode numeral as 1st character
2. edit all album titles to "The Human Division"
"Short Story but Good Listen"
A Very short story but this held my attention. This seems like it's gonna be a good saga.
"Great listen in the car"
Turning into one of my favourite authors, I liked this. Just the right length to listen to on a car or train journey. Really liking this series,
I love a funny story that doesn't take itself too seriously, but I can get caught up in a good mystery or a romance too. And of course I feel obligated to pay my respects to the classics, no matter how sleepy some of them make me.
"Short But Interesting"
Even though it's less than 40 minutes long, it still had enough interest to make me feel invested in the characters and their survival.
"Short Interim Episode"
This short, tense installment is written in the form of an audio transcript, and has a bit of a horror theme to it. It works all right, though you could skip it if needed since it doesn't involve the same characters as the first installment.
"Continues to be entertaining"
Each episode is its own tale. However they are interconnected - even if it does not really seem so at first in some cases. It's one Universe and one big story - and these are lots of little ones within. Personally I've enjoyed the writing and the reading - I'm now on episode 9 and enjoying it as much as the first. If you like sci-fi you won't be disappointed.
"Even Shorter But Just As Sweet"
Having listened to "The B Team" By John Scalzi and Narrated by William Dufris i immediately Downloaded/Listened to this episode "Walk The Plank" The second Episode in the Human Division and Written/Narrated by Scalzi/Dufris.
If you have read my review of the previous episode you will know that i thought the narrator (Dufris) was brilliant which really helped the story along. He narrates very passionately (or so it seems). In this volume he does not disappoint.
This story is good, but much like the last one the charm is in the narration more then the actual story. having said i'm starting to feel that the "season long" storyline may be starting to show through. which may build upon the charm of the actual story. Don't get me wrong the each episode does have a good plot and they are well worth listening to.
Much like the title of this review suggest this episode is shorter then the last one but its just as good.
I don't feel i connected as much to the characters in this weeks episode(2) to that of last weeks (1) i did find myself thinking when will last weeks charters be back i hope Wilson is in the next episode....
"Great short story"
This is a great short story, in a collection of intertwined short stories.
I will look for more title by this author.
"It keeps being interesting..."
I continue to be sceptical about the story, but the change of story format keeps it interesting. It certainly has something.

Tennessee Volunteers (1-7/5-7) The Vols, in the 2012 season, tried to win games by throwing the football with Tyler Bray. The Volunteers lost quarterback Tyler Bray, wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson, and Justin Hunter. The past will prove this is a good situation for the Vols.Learn from your past: In 1998, Tennessee won a title with the rushing game of Travis Henry and Jamal Lewis-not the passing game of Tee Martin.In 2001 and 2004, the Vols made SEC Championships with the running game. Travis Stephens led the way in 2001. Gerald Riggs and Cedric Houston took charge in 2004.Now, it's time the Vols improve with 2013 running backs, Rajion Neal and Marlin Lane.This running game, along with the defense going back to the 4-3, will help the defense by keeping the opposing teams' offense off the field.Tennessee could surprise some teams at home like Georgia and South Carolina, while scaring Alabama and Florida on the road.I see the Volunteers going from no bowl, last year, to the Chick...

Yeah, thats too hot. If you're using the stock Intel heatsink it should be around 40c - 55c - idle, and around 65c under load.
Is it the stock Intel heatsink you're using? If so check to make sure the plastic retention clips are all pressed in to secure the heatsink to the cpu.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 19:39
Posted 03 December 2012 - 19:54
No problem; check this out, it should explain in moire detail: http://www.pcstats.c...eid=2677&page=5
Make sure those 4 clips are pushed in and secure. The heatsink shouldn't wobble if it's secure.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:04
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:10
What kind of cleaning? Is it possible you disconnected the CPU fan?
Also, did you check the temps before cleaning the PC? It's possible that program is giving you bad information.
FYI, 90° is near the point where that CPU will shut itself down, so if it's really getting that hot, don't keep using it.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:15
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:25
What does SpeedFan tell you your temps are?
SpeedFan will report the RPMs of any fans connected to the motherboard fan headers. If they're just wired to the CPU, they won't show up. That said, if it's really 90°C, the CPU fan should be going much faster, somewhere in the 3000 - 4000 RPM range.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:46
Currently says CPU 63C / Core 0 70C / Core 1 69C. PC is under less load now though.
All three of those temps have a flame icon next to them, which I'm guessing is bad
Could be that the fan won't spin fast enough maybe?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:48
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:56
Is it spinning at all?
I would expect the temps to be lower at idle even if just connected to the heatsink, without a fan, assuming your room isn't somewhere in the desert.

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Phoenix rolls to smooth victory over Jazz
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 99-84 win over the Jazz on December 14.
The Good:
The Suns win consecutive games for the first time since November 21-23 with consecutive wins over teams with a winning record for the first time since March 8-10 last season.
Jared Dudley led five players in double figures scoring a season-high 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Marcin Gortat, meanwhile, posted his first double-double in six games with 12 points and 14 rebounds.
The Bad:
Michael Beasley pulled another disappearing act. He shot 0-of-5 after hitting three of his first four attempts. Playing some power forward for the second straight game, he scored eight of his 11 points in the opening quarter.
He Said It
"It's just so much easier when you are playing downhill rather than uphill," head coach Alvin Gentry said of his team playing with the lead for most of the game. "I thought it was our best first quarter by far. I thought we did a great job of moving the basketball."
� The Suns improve to 5-1 when holding teams under 90 points
� The Suns scored a season-high 34 first quarter points
� Phoenix trailed for all of 21 seconds (6:20-5:59 of first quarter)
� Shannon Brown has at least one steal in a career-high tying 10 straight games
� Dudley is shooting 25-of-43 (.581) from the field, including 6-of-15 (.400) from 3-point range in four games since returning to the starting lineup
Up Next:
The Suns (9-15) host Sacramento on Monday, December 17. It will be the first of four meetings between the two Pacific Division opponents.

NXT Truck - no plans?
Reader Anibal P. emailed me, asking about details on the truck on the back of the NXT box. I am surprised to say that I never even noticed it! We already got plans and programs for the Cuckoo clock and the Sound Machine - both of these were displayed on the box... so maybe this one will be released soon. Anyone have any information on the truck?
6 comments:
I think I posted a comment a while back about this - in any case that's all I know about the truck. But it's nice we can see what the future website will be like (I'm getting bored of that same old video :-)
- Sep 14, 2006, 6:23:00 AM
Just somthing I saw.
The link with the Truck on it in the web page above the big picture of the car has the word "Galleries" on it.
the one Nxt to it has a picture of somting that looks like the brick and motor base for "Spike" on it has the word "Building instructions" on it.
From what I could tell on my box, it is in some way connected to the Official mindstorms forums.
the reason I think this is because to the side of it. It has the word Nxt forums or somthing like that.
Or was this too obvious?

Also ... in the right hand picture next to the truck there is something that looks like a NXT Bluetooth remote-control. Maybe?

That looks like to me the motor and brick that are the simple stages of a Spike being built.
If you look at it further, above it says "Instructions"

For the third straight year, Texas Motorplex owner Billy Meyer, track GM Gabrielle Stevenson, and the entire staff at the Texas Motorplex pulled out all the stops to make this show something special. To fire up everyone's patriotism, the American Veterans Traveling Tribute Wall was on display.
"The wall honors all U.S. servicemen and women in all branches of service and we are proud to be able to host the wall this week. It's truly an honor for all of North Texas," Meyer said. The Cost of Freedom Tribute includes statistics from each major U.S. conflict and 9/11 attacks, a 380-foot-long and eight-foot-high Vietnam Memorial with 51,000 inscribed names, a gold dog tag display, a tribute to law enforcement and firefighters as well as historical documents, for visitors to reflect on.
Adding to the veterans' tributes was an opening day cruise from an old-school courthouse in nearby Waxahachie to the Motorplex. Everyone gathered around 8 a.m. for free coffee and a saugage biscuit breakfast before loading up and hitting the road to the show. Once on the show grounds, everyone parked their Chevys in their respective areas and did a quick clean up. The drag racing action started just a few minutes later, filling the air with the sweet smell of burnt rubber and race fuel. There were all levels of Bow Ties on the track, from 15-second bracket cars to electronics cars running mid 8s. And if that wasn't enough, Elaine Larsen and her jet car team made a bunch of exhibition passes throughout the day.
Even though we could sit and watch the 1320 all day, there was still more to see, like the show cars and we are here to tell you the gearheads in Texas don't mess around. There was a huge selection of high quality builds that really impressed. Chevy Performance blew us away with its Chevrolet First Responder Silverado. In partnership with renowned airbrush artist Mickey Harris, the Silverado features airbrushed murals, depicting different scenes of the fateful attacks on New York City and the Pentagon, along with a small piece of glass recovered from the Twin Towers site.
For the young ones there was the Revell Make-N-Take, which gives each budding gearhead a Revell model (Chevrolet of course) and a place to assemble it.

I use these shoes for my spin class. I purchased SPD clips and they work great. My left hip externally rotates and these shoes allow the SPD clips to be positioned to comfort my deviation.

About Me Competitive Cyclist
See all my reviews
I have had dozens of cycling shoes and these where great from the first ride. felt good on 4 hour rides straight away, a little tight up front but will give in time, sizing up is a must for wider feet. Velcro straps looked short, but it's the first shoe that hasn't collected loads of stuffs like straw and grass sticking to the Velcro. I will be racing in them and plan to use them on a week long riding holiday.
Exustar SM333K great fun

from Pocatello, ID
About Me Avid Cyclist
The price was great. Got it on clearance. Love the stiff carbon sole. Fits like a glove. I paid attention to suggestions from others to go a bit big and was glad I did. (probably a half size up is a safe bet.) Looks super cool. Super light.
Good shoes, but
By Phil-in-the-blanks
from Ottawa, Canada
One of the straps on my old mountain bike shoes is in danger of breaking and this looks like a good shoe to replace my old pair with.Kudos to Bike Nashbar on quick delivery to Canada. I got them within a couple of weeks using ground shipping.Well packaged; each shoe was coddled inside a cloth-like baggie and there's even a shoe bag for travelling around with them. Nice to see a manual too, but cleat installation is no problem for me, usually.Unfortunately I had a problem with the right shoe SPD slots; they were somehow mis-aligned and my cleat would not set up properly. I fixed the problem and now the shoes are great.Good product, maybe not the top of the heap but well worth a try.
The price could not be beat when I purchased these shoes. The outdoor season is pretty well over in Canada, and I've been using them on an indoor trainer setup. I've combined them with a pair of Crank Bros. Egggeater 1's, and the combination is solid. However I had a problem with the installation of the Eggbeater cleats. No matter how I tried I could not get the right foot "racing cleat" to properly position my foot in the pedal. The shoe heel was always rubbing up against the chain-stay and my knee was complaining within minutes. I had to modify the placement holes in the sole to fix this and now things are humming along nicely. Despite the "Carbon" logos all over this shoe, the sole does not seem to have all that much visible carbon; it's probably only a carbon / nylon blend.Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase (especially at the price I got them for), but "buyer beware".

is it just me???
By unhappy customer
from SE Texas
I first ordered the Exustar SM312 mtb shoe (NOT this one). I normally wear 9.5, and it turns out 43 was a little too small for me, because the shoe was pretty snug out of the box. But that wasn't the real issue. The right toebox was noticeable tighter than the left, resulting in constant pressure on my toes. So I sent them back in exchange for this model, with sz 44 this time. On my first ride (~20 miles), I experienced hotspots, which I assume is because my foot is weird, and needs arch support; I've yet to ride in a clipless shoe that hadn't given me hotspots after 15 miles. Anyway, something else I noticed was that the left shoe had a lump on the inside of the shoe, going from the heel to the midfoot. Conveniently, this lump was located right where my hotspot usually occurs. In a regular pair of shoes, it's not a big deal. But in cycling, any thing that's even mildly out of the ordinary would multiply and result in pain. So what feels like a barely noticeable bump in my left shoe quickly turns into pain after 10 miles. . . This is nail in the coffin for me with Exustar. From my experience, their shoes are just bad quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
