re: stay away - 7/11/2009 - 9/3/2009
I'm sorry, but I live in Kalispell, too, and I happen to love it here. I'm a democrat. I've lived here for 16 years and I haven't been shot or converted. I moved here. The community was warm and welcoming, for the most part. The people like Dan(see first post) are not the norm. Kalispell is just like any other town-there are all types of people, political views, religions, cultures, and ethnicities.

Advice? - 1/31/2016
My wife and I are actually looking to move to Montana and Kalispell looks absolutely incredible. I am a law student at Liberty University (which is very conservative) and comments like this have placed Kalispell on our radar. My wife and I come from a small town in East Tennessee called Knoxville and quite frankly Kalispell sounds a lot like home with more room to breath.
All this being said, it is a tough legal market and I am not sure if the market is already flooded there. If you could give me some insight that would be wonderful.[Comment on this Posting]
Kalispell Weather - 4/12/2015
I have lived here about 15 years I am single and moved here due to love of the outdoors. I live on the outskirts near Kila and am 40 miles from Glacier Park. Spend all summer RV'ing in the park and over the border in Canada and around Flathead Lake. I lived in Alaska 18 years and other places in the West and must say that the Kalispell area in NW Montana is one of the most beautiful of all places. The Flathead Lake is awesome being so clear and blue. If you ski, you have Whitefish resort only 15 miles N or Kalispell. The summer begins about end of May and goes through mid or late September. Fall is Sept of Oct through November. Winter months are usually Nov through February. Winters are not as harsh as some of our NE states. Windstorms and thunderstorms are infrequent here due to being protected by the mountains on all sides. Kalispell sits in the Upper Flathead Valley which is about 3000 ft elevation. There can be a few significant snowfalls each winter though. You would be wise to buy studded tires for your 4 wheel or front wheel drive since it gets icy a lot. The winter months can be very dreary. Very heavy overcast will last weeks at a time. There are few sunny days for the 4 winter months. Due to the elevation there is usually a 30-40 degree difference between day and night temps, which is nice when it is 90 degrees or so in the summer months. Shopping centers are being built steadily, housing growing and there will soon be a bypass at West Kalispell to the main shopping center. Very low crime and I feel safe everywhere. Lots of biking trails and cross country trails. People are really down to earth and caring for the most part. A very good wholesome climate to raise a family. Traffic is not bad and there are no freeways up here. I am retired so i don't know about jobs here. I would recommend Kalispell highly to outdoor enthusiasts, skiers, rv'ers hunters and fishers, cyclists and kayakers. Gorgeous place, except for the 4-5 months of long and dark winters. If you don't have seasonal affective disorder this is the place to be if you are an outdoors enthusiast.[Comment on this Posting]
Unibomber NOT a Montanan - 2/16/2014
Actually politically correct individuals would be happier elsewhere. And the "Unibomber" was from Illinois and was only hiding out in Montana. He reflects nothing from Montana culture. Those politically correct individuals are not well equipped for the rugged mountain lifestyle of Kalispell.
Kalispell is an incredible place to enjoy natural majesty of the outdoors. Schools are very good and housing is affordable. The difficult part of living there is the local economy. Most people living there are local low paying wage earners. If you have a decent job making good money, it can be the best possible place to raise a family. If not, it can be quite an economical challenge.[Comment on this Posting]

Abhd's hate speech rant - 5/18/2013
This is basically a very good example of hate speech. Montana is still America and we are all still Americans no matter where we are from. I have friends and family in both Helena and Bigfork and they certainly do not share this idiots views.We have the Constitutional right to travel any where we care to, without papers like in other commie countries do and we should not have to worry about some backwoods crazy person like this fool telling us to stay away. I am also a conservative politically but I do not tolerate others talking down, even threatening my other fellow Americans by warning them to stay away from ANY part of this beautiful land we call America. I have lived in the Grand Island Nebraska for 30 years and have NEVER seen or heard anyone ever tell other American people to stay away. This is all of our country and we have the DUTY to share it with each other openly and peacefully. If we cannot get along with each other than how are we supposed to protect our country from an out of control government who seem hellbent on removing every right and freedom we have from us and replacing them with some Orwellian way of life. Please remove this idiots posting. It is irresponsible and asinine and it gives ALL of us a very bad name. Thanks Abhd, thanks for showing us the WORST that America has to offer. No wonder the Uni-bomber was from Montana. Please feel free NOT to add to humanity's gene pool ![Comment on this Posting]
To funny - 4/27/2011
Your right, we dont like clubs, this is our state where we like things just the way they are. If you want diversity and that huggy happy crap keep your butt in LA. It makes me laugh when somebody complains about it being cold. Take a look around, you moved to the mountains for christ sakes. we do like our guns if that bothers you move to California or New York.

Conservative, beautiful, and home - 1/19/2011
Kalispell has been a great community to move to. Frankly, I read some of the reviews here and smile. No, there is no clubbing. No, it's not diverse. Yes, it's conservative. And that's what in my eyes makes it perfect. It's been a wonderful place to raise a family. The people have been friendly, the hunting is awesome, the hiking, the fishing, snowshoeing....
I only hope this place doesn't continue to grow too excessively, to diversify. Frankly, I've come from that sort of place. Inevitably, the crime is astronomical, the people aren't nearly as friendly, the traffic is burdensome, everyone's looking for a handout, the schools are crap and drugs run rampant. You don't have any of that here. I'll take homogenously functional any day.
As for competing for wages, I'm a physican, so frankly, there's a shortage of us, so it hasn't been bad in healthcare.[Comment on this Posting]

Great Town!! - 9/3/2009
I have lived there for 16 years. It really is a beautiful place, and it is not just a place for rich people. It is a normal town with all levels of wealth. You only need a good job and high paying wages if you want to live on expensive lake property. Most recreational activities are free to the public, and there is a great school system. All-around, a great place to live.[Comment on this Posting]

A little bored - 2/2/2009
All in all kailspell is a great place. very beautiful with lots of outdoor activities. thr only thing i hate about it is the night life after nine especially on the weekdays it's like they board up the windows and all is dead i can see where some would like that but for me i want a little more adventure[Comment on this Posting]

Beware of Kalispell. Move to Missoula instead. - 11/6/2008
I do not advise anyone to move here. If you are moving from another state you will be seen as an "outsider". My husband has been called racial slurs to his face at work by his co-workers and boss. He happens to be half caucasion and half hispanic. He quit the first job because the harassment got to be too much. There are not many opportunities for advancement employment wise here and there are also not many things for children to do. Check out city-data statistics before considering a move here. It is very pretty and there are many outdoors types of things to do here but that is about it. It is also very cold in the winter time. This is not a community for the faint of heart. I would suggest moving to Missoula instead.[Comment on this Posting]
Living in Kalispell - 10/13/2008
I've lived in Kalispell for 9 years now and I must say I don't like it. If I was not married I would move elsewhere where it is always warm. What is it like to live in Kalispell? Well, if you like to live a very simple life, then this is the place for you. Clubbing is virtually non-existent, cultural events are scarce. Housing is expensive, jobs are plentiful if you like to work retail and not to mention salaries are horrible. If you like the great outdoors, then this is the place for you for ALL seasons. Winters are long and dismal but mild. Summers are virtually nonexistent. They don't last much. Lets say you have money, want a vacation home, are retired and don't mind winters, like doing all types of outdoor activities, then this is the place for you. As for me, I can't wait to move. If you're thinking of moving here, come prepared.[Comment on this Posting]
Blah - 8/13/2008
I've lived on the West Coast...I've lived on the East Coast...and a few places in between. And this has to be absolutely the worst place I've ever lived. The winters are long, not as harsh as one would think, but long none the less. It's a beautiful place to visit but living here is amazingly difficult. It's hard to find a place to rent under $1000.00 per month, which may seem like a bargain to some (depending on where your at now) but not so much so when the average job for the average Joe pays $8.50 per hour.
There seems to be a lot of married people here, not much in the way of "single life activities" The town it self isn't prepared for any kind of growth. It takes about 20 minutes to get from one side of town to the other and that's like 5 miles if that. There is no public transportation.
On a positive note I will say the crime rate is relatively low. Most of what I've noticed going through the court is DUI's and domestic disturbance kinds of things.[Comment on this Posting]
Vacation vs Living Here - 3/31/2008
Kalispell is a great place to vacation if you like outdoor recreation or beautiful scenery. But if you're thinking of moving here be prepared: there are definitely not 151 sunny days – there are about 70 (trust me, I've been here for years - and check the chamber's page too). Kiss the stars goodbye – it's always cloudy. Expect to miss all wonderful astronomical events because of this. The Flathead Valley has only 6 weeks of true summer weather (shorts & tshirts) – beyond that you will be wearing jackets and pants at some point every day or you will be cold. Lakes and rivers don't get real warm, even in the summer. Winters are mild, but it's definitely a long, dark season with short daylight hours, and thick cloud cover – expect to have SAD most of the year. Job opportunities are limited, and often seasonal. People with college degrees can expect to do work that does not require a degree. The cost of living (especially housing) is expensive in comparison to average earnings. The average Joe needs a working spouse to afford an entry-level house. Property taxes are high. Communities are highly conservative-Christian. Social hot spots are non-existent. Shopping is limited, but improving due to area growth. There is a community college, but no university. If you like to read genres other than fiction, expect to use inter-library loan. Airline ticket prices are off the charts! On the upside, it is a safe and caring community, still fairly quiet, and definitely beautiful all year long. Great views, no tall buildings around. There is no sales tax and you don't have to wait in line anywhere.[Comment on this Posting]
Can't wait to leave - 1/26/2008
Cliquish, clannish, SAD, conservative, good ole boys, maniacs w/ guns; easy to see why the Uni-bomber made Montana home.[Comment on this Posting]
Ho-hum - 1/9/2008
Kalispell is a safe, easy going place to raise a family. Be prepared to compete for your wages and your home though, as the job market and cost of living are unfavorably skewed. Logging and construction are big industries here, as well as tourism, but the economy comes to a screeching halt during the winter. There isn't much for a social scene, and the public is fairly close minded. All in all, it's boring and a bit depressing here, but the wilderness is nice. It's just hard to make friends here.[Comment on this Posting]
Kalispell-Western Montana - 3/25/2007
It is a beautiful place to live but very expensive. The wages need to catch up with the cost of living. It is a clean city low crime and close to lots of beautiful and remote recreation areas. Great if you have the money and a good high paying job. Dianna H[Comment on this Posting]

Aug 2015 - $75.00
This was our 2nd weekend (1st stay was Memorial Day weekend) in 2015 at Riverbend in our 26' travel trailer. We stayed 8/28 & 8/29 - 2 nights $158.26 incl. tax. We stayed on site #6; friends stayed on sites #5 & #4. Loved the little less than busy golf cart traffic that we have seen many times in the past while staying at sites on Pike Dr. (24-27 & 68-70) In the future we will always pick #6. It didn't have any shade, but it was very very spacious! We were a bit further away from the main bath house (which is why we stay on Pike Dr. every time), but the more quiet atmosphere was refreshing. The bath house on Bass drive is not a favorite of mine (many repairs are needed & usually dirty), so I always prefer the bath house next to the store. I did not use their shower facilities this time, but I do know those you do have to bring quarters for. Amenities include pool w/ waterslides, kiddie pool, swimming pond w/ inflatables, jumping pillow, Tiki bar, volleyball courts, bags tournaments, boat launch, mini golf, Friday night karaoke at Benderz Bar N Grill (campground restaurant), Saturday night band, & more. We will most always go back, it's just not my #1. - Candi and Michael WI
May 2015 - $75.00
This was our 1st weekend in our 2015 Springdale & we stayed Memorial Day weekend - 3 nights $237.39 incl. tax. We had gone to Riverbend last year once w/ friends in their travel trailer. We are new to this camping thing, so I don't have a lot to compare Riverbend to, however during our stay the pool was closed down because it was so dirty. Think rusty pipe water brown. I would hope next year the chemicals are started sooner. The main bathhouse was usually quite dirty. They may have only been cleaned once in the mornings around 6 a.m. The skatepark is a joke. The pillow was my 6 year olds favorite. Great water toys in the pond. Activity center for young ones such as $1 candy bar bingo & painting. Adults - bean bag toss & horse shoes. Definitely a lot to do! I would probably go back. - Candi and Michael WI
Aug 2013 - $70.00
We went camping for Labor Day weekend. It was a crowded, dirty, chaotic campground. Everyone seemed to be drunk most of the time, including every afternoon. This is not family friendly at all! While at the bathroom, we saw a dog hit by a golf cart. Are there no rules at this place? This is not camping, it is a place where drunk people driving golf carts meet to drink more. We were, to say the least, frightened to leave our campsite. The music was loud until 4a.m. with no security or management to quiet anyone down. Rules state their quiet hours start at 11p.m. Our children got no sleep at all. Our neighbor, in the site next to ours, had their site vandalized. Some of their things were stolen. This place should not be advertised as a campground. It is a community of "owners" that are always drunk and should be ashamed of where they camp. It should be shut down! It has the potential to be nice if people with authority would run it and quit catering to the offenders. - SarahK

Most Recent Highlights:
Australian native Boyd Martin relocated to the U.S. in 2007 to pursue his dreams of international eventing competition. In 2009, Martin rode under the American flag for the first time.
Martin spent his first two years in the U.S. working as assistant trainer to Olympic Gold medalist Phillip Dutton before striking out on his own. Martin has several horses competing at the upper levels of the sport, and always has numerous young horses coming up the ranks.
Martin has quickly made his mark on American eventing. In 2008, he was ranked number two on the U.S. Eventing Association Rider of the Year Leaderboard, an impressive feat in only his second year living and competing in the U.S.
2009 was a very successful year with Martin's first CCI3* win at Fair Hill in the fall with Neville Bardos, and placing sixth with Remington XXV. Other successes in 2009 include winning and placing fourth in the Jersey Fresh CIC3* with Belmont and Rock on Rose, respectively.
At the 2010 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Bridgestone, Martin and Neville Bardos finished in fourth place. Martin also had two other horses in the Top 12: Rock on Rose (11th) and Remington XXV (12th).
In the fall of 2010, Martin and Neville Bardos competed as part of the U.S. team at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, and were the highest-placing Americans in 10th place. A few weeks later, Martin and Remington XXV traveled to the Les Étoiles de Pau CCI4*, where they finished in seventh place at the horse's second attempt at the CCI4* level.
Martin started off 2011 with his usual success by finishing second in the CIC3* at Red Hills on Neville Bardos and ninth at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Bridgestone with Remington XXV. However, things changed dramatically for him in May.
On May 31, 2011, a fire ravaged Martin's barn, taking the lives of six horses and injuring four others. The horse that had the most severe injuries was Neville Bardos. Things looked grim for the little horse, but he tenaciously continued to improve and recover. Martin then lost his father, Ross, in a bicycling accident and Martin's wife, Silva, lost her father to illness. Through this difficult time, Martin focused on getting Neville Bardos recovered and fit in time for the Land Rover Burghley CCI4*. The pair seemed to do the impossible by traveling to England and finishing seventh in the grueling CCI4* competition. For his amazing comeback, Neville Bardos was named the 2011 USEF Horse of the Year.
Martin continued to produce stellar performances in the fall of 2011. At Boekelo, Martin rode Otis Barbotiere to a 14th-place finish in the horse's first CCI3*. Ying Yang Yo made quite a statement by winning the Fair Hill CCI3* with Martin, shortly after returning to competing at the upper levels.
In 2013, Martin won top honors at the Richland Park CIC3* with Trading Aces. The pair was then sixth in the Plantation Field CIC3*. Martin ended the year by representing the U.S. in the Boekelo CCIO3*.
Martin began 2014 in a big way, winning the Red Hills CIC3* with Trading Aces. After suffering a broken leg in March, Martin returned to competition in May. With a new mount, Shamwari 4, Martin showed he was back in top form by finishing third in the Luhmühlen CCI4*. The pair then went onto represent the U.S. on the Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, finishing as the highest placing Americans in eighth. In the fall, Martin and Master Frisky earned a second-place finish in the CCI3* at The Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International.

NewsOK Blogs / Thunder Rumblings
Thunder 109, Sixers 103
Nuggets from my notebook from Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.
- Serge Ibaka played a great first quarter. His defense was on point the entire period aside from a slow close out on Spencer Hawes that allowed an open jumper. But he was a pest in the passing lanes when Hawes was at the high post, tipping one early pass to spark a run-out on one early trip. Ibaka also was active around the rim, gobbling up one offensive rebound early and getting the stick-back.
- What I didn't understand was why Thunder coach Scott Brooks put Nenad Krstic on Elton Brand to start the game instead of Ibaka. Krstic is a better position defender, yeah, but it seems like Ibaka could have used his length and athleticism to better contest Brand's shot. But Brand got going early, making his first three shots. The Thunder is fortunate that flame didn't grow into an uncontrollable fire. Ibaka later started the second half on Brand.
- James Harden got off to a great start, save one charging foul. Then he picked up his third foul and was forced to sit early in the second quarter. It was a pretty crummy way for Harden to have to sit. He doesn't need anything else cooling him off. This looked like the perfect kind of game to get him going.
- Leb by Russell Westbrook, the ball movement looked much better in the first half. Westbrook had eight assists at halftime and finished with 12 for the game. The Thunder had 17 as a team, which still isn't great, but it ties a season-high that's been done three other times. Brooks spent the past two practices working on the offense, and it looked much better tonight for stretches. "This is a start," Harden said. "It's back to our old ways as far as everybody touching the ball. Everybody's getting open shots. We just have to really lock in on the defensive end because that's going to help our offense in transition."
- Thabo Sefolosha played his tail off tonight. And it was one of those impact games that doesn't show up in the box score. His energy was high from the start and it trickled down to his teammates. He played some great D on Evan turner and Louis Williams, and for the first time all season, he was resourceful offensively by cutting to the basket instead of camping out at the foul line.
- We had to wait two years to see them, but effective inbounds plays that lead to baskets have finally made their way to the Thunder. The pass Sefolosha had to Westbrook with one second left on the shot clock was as good as it gets. It pushed a three-point lead to five with 2:33 remaining and was huge in preserving this win.
- Westbrook and Kevin Durant each had 31 points tonight. And something that could become more interesting to watch as the season goes on will be how Durant and Westbrook play off each other offensively. Last year, it was Durant who could put up 30 in his sleep. Now, Westbrook has joined that club. That's a great tandem to have, but it could create complications, especially while they're still learning how to cater to one another. There was a time when Westbrook should have deferred to Durant at all times. But that time has passed. Westbrook must now take over games whenever KD doesn't have it going. Who knows how it will it play out? There isn't another team in the league that can even come close to making a sound argument that it possesses a top five player and top five point guard.
- There were several questionable calls by the refs in this one.
- I've long been a bit of an apologists for Durant's defense. But tonight, he was downright awful. KD allowed Andres Nocioni to burn him on at least three run-outs. I'm talking outlet pass, one dribble, dunk type of run-outs. Nocioni also beat KD backdoor once in the second half. Durant pretty much dogged it defensively tonight, and it was a big reason the Sixers had 19 fast break points.
- So much for the Thunder being a better 3-point shooting team. OKC shot 2-for-14 from deep tonight, dropping its already league-low percentage to an even worse 23 percent. The perimeter shot was not just bad tonight. It was embarrassing. Sixers reserve guard Jodie Meeks, in 22 minutes, made twice as many 3-pointers than the entire Thunder team.
- Durant's "neighbor" was at the game. I saw him briefly after the game. He looks much older than his internet character.
- Former Thunder guard Desmond Mason sat courtside.
- The Thunder went 35 of 37 at the foul line. The team's free throw shooting is turning into a deadly weapon to close out games with.

No c/s here, sorry, but I can comment on the inability to go for a vbac.
At the height of the vbac movement vbac was one of the top three reasons docs were being sued. Millions are paid out every year, even for cases that did not end in death of the fetus or the mother, and those people can win even though the docs and nurses did NOTHING WRONG. Parents sign a waiver form in the hospital before the vbac is attempted, but that piece of paper is as worthless as boobs on a boar pig. One cannot sign away the rights of another person, not even rights of their own children. As soon as that fetus comes out of the uterus they have all the rights every other person does, including compensation for medical accidents/neglect/whatever else. Those that sign the waiver form in the hospital - many DO know the risks they are taking by trying to go through a vbac - will sue when something goes wrong even when the doc isn't to blame. They don't want to take any personal responsibility in their decision.
Ob docs are the most sued docs in the medical field, and they pay the highest liability insurance out of every medical professional there is. This country has become so litigous in nature that vbac's, even though they carry a relatively low risk for problems of any kind, are a major liability now. Docs that are willing to go for a vbac with their patients may not be able to do so because the hospital they work for doesn't allow them. Some docs just won't do them period because any little thing that goes wrong and they could lose their job, their life savings, home, their kids' college funds, everything if a woman was to take them to court.
Other reasons for a woman being told 'no' for a vbac could be: previous complications with pre-e or other issues that put the woman at high risk; emergency c/s that resulted in an incision in the uterus that, CRAP! what kind of incision - left to right or up and down?! - one of those two docs won't touch again; repeat c/s's in the past.

I suffer from CRS on a daily basis. Can't Remember Shit.
I know that my OB will not do them (neither will any of the other doc's in the practice). Sorry I can't offer more advice, good luck with your doctor visit!!

Six Degrees – Guest Post | Vallarta Escapes
Have you every noticed how each day we open ourselves to the freedom of dialogue when we travel our "world" gets a little bigger and the distance between people we know a little smaller? Every conversation diminishes the old adage of six degrees of separation, perhaps even narrowing it down to two degrees if you travel a lot to many places. I've lost track of the times I have traveled abroad only to discover someone I have met or known or finding a common person that myself and a stranger know. There is also the weird occurrences of the "doppelganger" that seems to be known every major country I have visited…someone who must be my twin or perhaps over time has faded in another memory and my face & mannerisms remind them of that person.

Baby to have hard cast removed
|11.27.09 at 6:23 pm ET
BOSTON — Glen Davis will have the hard cast on his right hand removed on Tuesday and receive a soft cast, the next step in his rehab from a fractured right thumb.
"It's going to be soft so I can be able to move, be able to shoot, and rehab and get some flexibility back in my hand,' he told WEEI.com on Friday prior to the Celtics-Raptors game. 'That's about it. Then after that, it depends on how I feel.'
Davis injured the thumb two days before the Celtics' season opener and had surgery to repair it. Since then his mobility has been limited. He has been grabbing putting and squeezing it with his fingers to prevent losing muscle in his fingers. Davis will continue touching one finger to the other to increase his strength.
'It feels great to get out of this cast,' he said. 'Then I can at least work to something else. It's like I've been in this cast for so long I haven't been able to work on anything. But now it's like upgrading it and it depends on how I feel.'
Davis anticipates it will be a few weeks before he can begin shooting with his right hand and has not been given a timetable for his return to the court. In the meantime he will continue improving his left-hand skills, something he believes will help his game in the long run. Davis has already seen the benefits as Rasheed Wallace shoots with both hands.
'Oh most definitely, most definitely, most definitely. Now I know how important my left hand is, you know? I always realized it was important but when you don't have your right hand, you understand how important your other hand is,' he said. 'It's going to help me a lot, especially on both sides of the floor, using your hands, hand-eye coordination, and things like that."
He added, 'It's just been really weird. Every time I've used my left hand it just feels so natural now. Like you know sometimes you use your left hand and it's like ugh. Now I've been using it so much and been working on that, it feels natural.'
Davis has been working out with the team and staying in condition for when he is ready to resume basketball activities. He says he is not worried about finding his way back into the Celtics' system and believes being mentally prepared will help him ease back into playing with his teammates, many of whom joined the Cs this offseason.
'You know, I'm not even worried about that. As long as I'm in shape and mentally I'm ready to play, I think I'll be fine,' he said. 'But one thing is it's different when you're on the court. Like you know, different conditioning. So when I get a couple of practices in with the coaches, with the team, probably travel with them, get some more conditioning and hopefully be back again soon.'
Iverson retires: An answer, or simply more questions
|11.26.09 at 9:34 am ET
Like most NBA players Paul Pierce doesn't tend to show up at many games when he's not a participant. After you live in the arena, why would you choose to go to watch the show?
But Pierce made an exception in 2001 to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Lakers and Sixers, or more specifically, between Los Angeles and Allen Iverson. That season belonged to Iverson from the time they threw the ball up on opening night until the time he stepped over Ty Lue at the end of Game 1 of that series.
As it turned out that first game would prove to be Iverson's nadir in the NBA. The Lakers recovered from that opening loss and steamrolled Philly ' cut their hearts out, as Kobe Bryant said ' en route to the Lakers first title of the Kobe-Shaq era.
Word began to filter out before Wednesday's game with the Celtics and A.I.'s old team that Iverson was going to call it a career. Things had gone south quickly in Memphis and when even the Knicks passed on taking on the mercurial guard, his options were basically down to nobody.
Probably. Most NBA observers at the TD Garden likened the 'announcement' (Iverson himself has not spoken about it) as a sort of boxing retirement. Rather than leave himself out there twisting on the NBA waiver wire like a journeyman looking to catch on for one more paycheck, the move was seen as a matter of saving face.
Procedurally, it means nothing. Since he is not under contract to any team Iverson does not have to file official retirement papers with the league and therefore is still free to sign on with anyone who might have an immediate opening for a scoring guard, however unlikely that scenario may be.
Danny Ainge told the Herald this week that the Celtics have had internal conversations about Iverson but couldn't come to a consensus and it's doubtful that any organization would take a chance on him after the debacle in Memphis.
If this is the end, the other Celtics veterans spoke glowingly about Iverson. 'I'm just happy I had a chance to play against him,' Pierce said. 'He's one of the top 50 players to ever play the game.'
Of all the Celtics, none has competed against Iverson more than Ray Allen. From their Big East days to their battle in the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals — still one of the great underrated series of the past decade — and on through the years, the two came into the league in the same draft class and the news made Allen a little wistful.
'We had a long standing history,' Allen said. 'It's somewhat sad. He's been someone who's been good for a long time in this league. He's someone I always competed with for a majority of my career. Not only do I think about him, but I think about my whole class and all the guys that I started with and fell off and before you know it, it's a generation past. This is like gravy time for me to still be able to play and feel good about it and be strong. My body still feels great and fresh.'
Allen was asked to reflect back on that Sixers-Bucks series when Milwaukee had Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell and the Sixers had, well, they had Iverson and a rock solid defense anchored by Dikembe Mutombo.
'There was a lot of back and forth,' Allen said. 'It was a great series. The one thing about that series was anyone could have won it. We felt we had a great team that could have beat the Lakers that year. I guess it's something you always talk about.'
That Sixers team came about at exactly the right time in the city of Philadelphia and left a lasting, indelible image. After they beat the Bucks in Game 7 the streets were clogged around City Hall and a most curious thing happened in the city of Brotherly Love ' people actually showed each other love, pouring out of gridlocked cars and literally dancing in the streets.
Things may have unraveled in the aftermath, but like Pedro pitching for the Sox in the late 90's, the city stopped when Iverson was playing.
'He's in that five or six,' said Rasheed Wallace, native son. 'If he was to go walk in Philly right now everybody would be like, 'Damn what's up, A.I.?' You're the man and this and that. He's up there in that elite class with Mo, Doc, Fo, Fo, Fo, Feets, Hersey the Hawk, Bobby Jones. You definitely have to have Chuck in there. It can go in any type of order depending on who you're talking to that knows their Philadelphia basketball history.'
For the uninitiated that would be Mo Cheeks, Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney and Bobby Jones, whose name was so perfect he didn't need another one. Chuck was Bubba Chuck, Iverson's other nickname. The one his friends call him as opposed to the ones given to him by marketers and the TV commentators.
Indelible yes, but Iverson also came with baggage. Lots and lots of baggage. His critics have had a field day of late with Iverson's claims that he wouldn't play a limited role for the Grizzlies and the Pistons the year before. They point to the fact that the Sixers got better when they traded him and that the Nuggets became a contender when they swapped him for Chauncey Billups.
It's become harder for his defenders to make his case, especially when the basketball truths seem so self-evident that Iverson's singular style has become more detriment than positive.
'It's hard,' Allen said. 'He had issues in Memphis. What are other teams thinking? It's hard to say. Overseas looks very attractive if he feels like he's got basketball left in him. I'm sure he can make a good sum of money going overseas. Whether it's it for him in the NBA, I would think that basketball isn't out of his blood.'
That's the toughest thing about Iverson's 'retirement,' and why that word needs to have quotes around it. Iverson may not be done with basketball, but basketball may be done with him.
Turn up the volume: Pierce imposes his will
|11.26.09 at 12:14 am ET
Kevin Garnett was considered the missing piece last year as the Celtics missed out on defending their NBA title.
But listen to Garnett and Doc Rivers following Boston's 113-110 win over the Philadelphia 76ers and you get the unmistakable sense that so far this season, it's Paul Pierce who is indispensable.
Garnett said Pierce imposed his will on the game, leading the Celtics with a game-high 27 points and taking a charge on Andre Iguodala down the stretch.
Doc Rivers calls Pierce the MVP, at least of the team if not the NBA.
Doc: Pierce is our MVP
|11.25.09 at 11:32 pm ET
After yet another brilliant outing from Paul Pierce –27 points, five rebounds, six assists and one gut-wrenching charge — Celtics coach Doc Rivers didn't hold back in his praise.
"He's been MVP to me," Rivers said. "Now only with his play, but all over. He was on guys in the second quarter and then at halftime about our play. He's doing everything you ask him to do. He's guarding guys, he's rebounding, he's making big shots, he's taking charges. I mean, I don't know what else. He can cook Thanksgiving dinner for someone and then he'll be doing it all. He's been terrific."
With the Celtics up by two points and less than a minute to play, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala got up a full head of steam and went straight to the basket. Iguodala is listed at 207 pounds, but at least 200 of that is muscle. Pierce stepped into the lane and took the contact.
"Well you know, it's what we talk about," Pierce said. "If the charge is there the coach wants us to step up and take the charge. That's pretty much the only thing I could have done in that situation."
Later in the game with the Celtics holding a three-point lead, Pierce and Rajon Rondo both executed the Celtics strategy to foul with less than 10 seconds remaining and not give the opponent a chance to tie the game.
"That's something we talk about," Pierce said. "That's something we work on in practice. We were in that situation last year against the Bulls [in the playoffs] and Ben Gordon made a 3 and we should have fouled. That's our strategy if it's under 10 seconds that's our strategy to foul."
Fast Break: Celtics-Sixers
|11.25.09 at 10:15 pm ET
Doc Rivers was asked before Wednesday's game if his team should be worried about a letdown against a Sixers team that was without two starters, and whom they had throttled by 29 points in Philly earlier this month. Doc's Response? Um, yeah. Didn't Golden State beat Dallas the other night with just six players, the coach asked.
The Celtics haven't been able to take very much for granted since that first Sixers game and it became obvious very early that Philly had come to play, even after a wrenching loss to the Wizards the night before and even without Lou Williams and Elton Brand.
In the end the Celtics took every punch and landed a few more of their own in a 113-110 victory. The win continued their recent trend of playing down-to-the-wire games against sub-500 teams, but they'll take it. Again.
Player of the Game: Paul Pierce. For everything that is going wrong with the Celtics, Pierce continues to play out of his head. It wasn't just the 27 points, five rebounds and six assists either. With the Celtics clinging to a 107-105 lead, Andre Iguodala came steamrolling down the floor and Pierce stood his ground and took the charge.
Turning point: Rajon Rondo raised a few eyebrows through the first three quarters by continuing to pass up layups in favor of making an extra pass. One time he caught Kevin Garnett underneath the basket on a give-and-go-and-give leaving Garnett no choice but to fling the ball toward the hoop while he was already underneath it.
But in the fourth quarter Rondo finally came alive, taking the ball aggressively to the hoop and looking to score. The Celtics used a small lineup during this stretch and Rondo took advantage of the space available on the floor. Things become so much easier for the Celtics when Rondo has the mindset to finish once he breaks down the defense.
* Once again the Celtics were beaten on the offensive glass. The Sixers had 10 offensive rebounds in the first half, which led to 18 second-chance points.
* Philly is in the bottom third in the league in 3-point shooting at a tick over 32 percent. Naturally the Sixers shot 13-for-20 from 3-point range.
*One area the Celtics did excel in was getting to the free throw line, making 30-of-39. Garnett was 9-for-12.
* Rasheed Wallace didn't exactly "break out" of his shooting slump, but he did make two of six from beyond the arc.
* Kendrick Perkins, Ray Allen and Garnett all spent considerable portions of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Celtics and Sixers were both using small lineups, which left Perk out even though he had 12 points and eight rebounds in 22 minutes. Garnett was spelled by Wallace as part of his regular rotation, while Allen gave way to Marquis Daniels. After 15 games the only thing that's obvious about the rotations and lineups is that Rivers is still looking for the right combinations.
* Great coaching move and execution in the final seconds as the Celtics were able to foul Iguodala, and then Jason Kapono with a three-point lead instead of letting either of them get off a chance at a tying shot. While it's clearly the right strategy, very few teams actually carry through with the play or execute it correctly.
76ers minus two
|11.25.09 at 7:54 pm ET
The Sixers are without starting point guard Lou Williams and power forward Elton Brand for Wednesday night's game with the Celtics.
Williams suffered a fractured jaw in their game Tuesday with Washington, while Brand has been struggling with a sore hamstring. Rookie Jrue Holiday will start in place of Williams and Jason Smith gets the nod for Brand.
NBA ref scandal re-opened
|11.25.09 at 7:51 pm ET
The NBA referee gambling scandal was rekindled on Wednesday night when a source indicated that 13 NBA officials had contact with a reputed gambler, according to a report by WHDH-TV.
"Well, I just hope it's not true," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said minutes after the report broke in Boston. "That's all I can say on it."
Former NBA official Tim Donaghy served 15 months in federal prison for admitting he worked with gamblers to provide tips on NBA games. The source told 7News on Wednesday that gambler Jimmy 'The Sheep' Battista implicated 13 other officials.
The first game Battista and Donaghy bet on together was the Celtics-76ers game in Dec. 2006 — a game Donaghy officiated and one the Celtics covered with ease. The source says Battista is making these claims as he works to finalize a tell-all book deal.

High-Yield Path to Making Key Ingredient for Plastic, Xylene, from Biomass
Baku, May 10 (AZERTAC). A team of chemical engineers led by Paul J. Dauenhauer of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has discovered a new, high-yield method of producing the key ingredient used to make plastic bottles from biomass. The process is inexpensive and currently creates the chemical p-xylene with an efficient yield of 75-percent, using most of the biomass feedstock, Dauenhauer says.
The research is published in the journal ACS Catalysis.
Dauenhauer, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at UMass Amherst, says the new discovery shows that there is an efficient, renewable way to produce a chemical that has immediate and recognizable use for consumers. He says the plastics industry currently produces p-xylene from petroleum and that the new renewable process creates exactly the same chemical from biomass.
Consumers will already know the plastics made from this new process by the triangular recycling label "#1" on plastic containers. Xylene chemicals are used to produce a plastic called PET (or polyethylene terephthalate), which is currently used in many products including soda bottles, food packaging, synthetic fibers for clothing and even automotive parts.
The new process uses a zeolite catalyst capable of transforming glucose into p-xylene in a three-step reaction within a high-temperature biomass reactor. Dauenhauer says this is a major breakthrough since other methods of producing renewable p-xylene are either expensive (e.g., fermentation) or are inefficient due to low yields.
A key to the success of this new process is the use of a catalyst that is specifically designed to promote the p-xylene reaction over other less desirable reactions. Dauenhauer says his research colleagues, professors Wei Fan of UMass Amherst and Raul Lobo of the University of Delaware, designed the catalyst. After a series of modifications, the team was able to help enhance the yield of the reaction. He also says additional modification of the process can further boost p-xylene yield and make the process more economically attractive.
Besides Dauenhauer and Fan, the research team is made up of UMass Amherst`s C. Luke Williams and Chun-Chih Chang, doctoral students in chemical engineering, and their collaborators, professors Raul F. Lobo, Dionisios G. Vlachos and Stavros Caratzoulas, as well as doctoral student Nima Nikbin, and postdoctoral fellow Phuong Do from the University of Delaware.
This discovery is a part of a larger effort by the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation (CCEI) to create breakthrough technologies for the production of biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. The center is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the Energy Frontiers Research Center (EFRC) program which combines more than 20 faculty members with complimentary research skills to collaborate on solving the world`s most pressing energy challenges.
The discovery for the production of plastics adds another dimension to the portfolio of accomplishments of CCEI. In 2010, a CCEI research team led by Mark Davis of Caltech discovered a new catalyst, called Tin-Beta, which can convert glucose into fructose. This is the first step in the production of a large number of targeted products including biofuels and biochemicals, including p-xylene, from the building block of cellulose, the major constituent of trees and switchgrass.

A very simple implementation of server-side React rendering
A simple (no compile) example of how to do server-side rendering with the React library so that component code can be shared between server and browser, as well as getting fast initial page loads and search-engine-friendly pages.
A more complex example with shared routing and data fetching can be found at react-server-routing-example.
$ node server.js
Then navigate to http://localhost:3000 and click on the button to see some reactive events in action.
Try viewing the page source to ensure the HTML being sent from the server is already rendered (with checksums to determine whether client-side rendering is necessary)
Here are the files involved:
var React = require'react' DOM = ReactDOM div = DOMdiv button = DOMbutton ul = DOMul li = DOMli // This is just a simple example of a component that can be rendered on both // the server and browser moduleexports = ReactcreateClass // We initialise its state by using the `props` that were passed in when it // was first rendered.

No. 353,495 2 Claims. (Cl. 108-55) This invention relates to a collapsible carrier for transportable goods, such as a container or a pallet, adapted for transportation by vehicles with fork-lift equipment.
Fork-lift vehicles of the type frequently used in industrial plants or on similar premises move loaded pallets or containers first by lifting them off the ground on pairs of narrow steel bars, called forks, which descend or ascend on chain-driven columns and thereafter by driving them in the elevated position to a desired location. This necessitates the provision of legs or similar supports on the carriers in order to form, between the bottom of the carrier and the ground on which it stands, a clearance suflicient for the fork to slide under the carrier and lift it.
The general object of the instant invention is to provide means for integrally forming such legs on carriers of the collapsible type, preferably in a manner facilitating the removal of the legs for storage of the carriers either in their made-up shape or in flattened condition.
A collapsible carrier according to my invention, made of cardboard or other rigid but foldable sheet material, is supported by a plurality of integral ribs provided on its underside, these ribs being substantially prismatic and formed from folded inward extensions of a pair of opposite bottom flaps which are integral with a body of sheet material constituting at least a bottom panel of the carrier.
According to an additional feature of the invention, the prismatic ribs are held in shape by temporary fasteners so as to be readily reconverted into fiat sheet portions overlapping the bottom panel for purposes of storage and stacking of several carriers.
These and other features and advantages of my inven tion will become apparent from the following description given with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container representing a first embodiment of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a front-elevational view of the container shown in FIG. 1, illustrating the formation of its bottom ribs;
FIG. 3 is a front-elevational view of a pallet representing a second embodiment of my invention;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, taken on the line IVIV thereof; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a container representing a third embodiment of my invention.
The container 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a box-shaped body 7 of corrugated cardboard, topped by a lid 8 and wood) removably placed inside them, effectively constitute a pair of spaced-apart legs on a load-supporting platform represented by the bottom of the container.
FIG. 2 illustrates in its left-hand half the formation of the ribs 3 from extensions 2' of the bottom flaps 2, prior to attachment of the adhesive tape 5 to the ribforming flap sections. The extensions 2' can be inwardly bent and completely flattened, as illustrated in dot-dash lines, so that the container 1 rests on its underside for storage purposes rather than on the ribs 3 as required for fork-lift transportation.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the construction of a pallet 11 consisting of an upwardly open shallow container body 17 and a complementary lid 18, giving it the appearance of a solid plate, the body 17 again having bottom flaps 12 which are inwardly folded and form the prismatic ribs 13 which are here shown held in place by temporary fastening means in the form of staples 15.
The body 27 of a carrier 21 shown in FIG. 5 has a bottom differing from those of containers 1 and 11 in that each of its flaps 22 is cut away at 22', between transversely spaced sections 22a, 22b, to establish a clearance 22" between aligned rib portions 23a, 23b respectively formed from these sections. Thus, there is access to the underside of the container 21 through gap 24 and perpendicularly thereto through the aligned clearances 22". Adhesive bonds 25, formed by layers 25', 25" of rubber cement on confronting flap surfaces, releasably hold the prismatic ribs 23a and 23b in shape.
Although only a few representative embodiments have been particularly described and illustrated, it is to be understood that other types of carriers may be integrally formed with bottom ribs in the manner disclosed and that a variety of flexible sheet materials may be used in their construction; also, the type of fastener utilized for maintaining the shape of the ribs may be varied, likewise the kind of stiffener of which only one form has been illustrated at 6 in FIG. 1 but which evidently may also be employed in the other embodiments. These and further modifications, readily apparent to persons skilled in the art, are therefore intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of my invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A collapsible carrier for transportable goods, comprising a collapsible rectangular loading platform of foldable sheet material, flaps of said material extending from two opposite sides of said platform, said flaps overlapping the underside of said carrier and having inward extensions outwardly folded into two parallel pairs of longitudinally aligned prismatic ribs spaced apart on said underside, and temporary retaining means for restorably maintaining the shape of said ribs by releasably holding said extensions in their folded position, the ribs of each pair being separated from each other and from the ribs of the other pair by clearances greater than the length and width of any of said ribs, said clearances being bounded by aligned edges of said ribs defining a pair of orthogonally intersecting passages for the selective introduction of a lifting fork in a direction parallel to either pair of parallel sides of the rectangular loading platform.
2. A carrier as defined in claim 1 wherein said ribs are disposed at respective corners of the rectangular loading platform.

Johnny's Lunch Box may be next landmark to close
Johnny's Lunch Box may be the next legendary Oklahoma City site facing an uncertain future.
The restaurant, which dates back to 1929, is a favorite among legislators, city council members, mayors, business executives and the many construction workers rebuilding downtown.
"You can get vegetables there, you can get a balanced meal," said former Mayor Kirk Humphreys, one of the many regulars at the Lunch Box. "It's quick, and I love the atmosphere."
It's a place, Humphreys noted, where a long table is reserved for veteran
"You've got to be invited to sit there," Humphreys said. "So ... you have high-powered professionals and just the man off the street."
Those customers ordered their favorites on Tuesday — the corn beef sandwiches, garlic lemon chicken, homemade pie — unaware that the eatery may have just a few weeks left before it closes.
Owner Joe Johnston is hoping to avoid that fate, but admits he has no easy answers in sight.
When Nick Preftakes bought the building at 423 W Sheridan Ave. a couple of years ago, he told The Oklahoman he had no intention of being the one to close the restaurant.
But Johnston is looking at moving or closing as the lease expires in December with no apparent opportunity to stay in the current location.
Coincidentally, it was one decade ago that Johnston bought the restaurant after it was about to be closed by its longtime owner Aristotle "Johnny" Papahronis.
"When we bought it 10 years ago it was an icon and a legendary location," Johnston said. "And it's even more so today. And we think it can go a lot longer."
Broker Bert Belanger is among the few longtime customers who know about the restaurant's murky future, and is hoping it won't close for good. He recently contacted property owners throughout downtown hoping to find the Lunch Box a new home.
"It's an iconic place for those of us who have spent any time downtown in the '70s, '80s, '90s or even earlier," Belanger said. "Joe has been able to preserve the feel and the quality of the food — and the secret recipes."
The restaurant is a throwback to the old buffeterias — restaurants that had limited cafeteria style service, but also made-to-order sandwiches and grill items.
Booths dating back decades line the restaurant's entryway, and photos of downtown of old adorn the walls.
Johnston, a veteran in the restaurant industry who started Chi-Chi's, said business has been good despite surrounding streets being under construction as part of Project 180. He believes the customers will follow the restaurant if it reopens in a new location.
"We historically have done well," Johnston said. "If you concentrate on the quality of the food, everything else takes care of itself. And that's what we've done."
Johnston ruefully recalls how customers lined the block when it appeared the restaurant was about to close a decade ago when Papahronis was unable to run the restaurant full time.
"It was a big deal," Johnston said. "And regardless of what happens this time, we plan to celebrate the life of the restaurant. Whatever it takes to show, we will want to show how much we appreciate this business."

Production Begins On UP's First Scripted Series, 'Ties That Bind'
Production began this week on UP's first original scripted drama series "Ties That Bind," a police procedural and family drama, starring Kelli Williams ("The Practice," "Army Wives"), Jonathan Scarfe ("Perception") and Dion Johnstone ("Defiance"), with special guest star Luke Perry ("Beverly Hills 90210"). Created by Sheryl J. Anderson ("Charmed," UP's The Town that Came A-Courtin'), this 10-episode, hour-long series is set to premiere Wednesday, August 12 at 9 p.m. ET.
The ensemble cast includes teen actors Mitchell Kummen ("The Tomorrow People"), Natasha Calis ("The Firm"), Rhys Matthew Bond ("The Good Witch") and Matreya Scarrwener ("Once Upon a Time").
"Ties that Bind" revolves around Allison McLean (Kelli Williams), a tough and experienced police detective in suburban Seattle. Like most working women, her hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe), and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen) and Rachel (Natasha Calis). But when she and her partner, Devin (Dion Johnstone), must arrest her brother, Tim (Luke Perry), for aggravated assault, her world drastically changes as Tim is convicted and sent to prison leaving his two teenagers Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond) and Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener) teetering on the brink of foster care.
Having done the right thing as an officer of the law, Allison now feels compelled to do the right thing as a sister and aunt; she brings Tim's two very unhappy teens into her home. Squeezing four teenagers under one roof proves to be an additional test of Allison's strength and patience. It won't be easy for her husband, her children or Tim's kids either. In addition to investigating local crimes, the series will also focus on the joys and struggles of the teens as they adjust to their new home, their new high school, make new friends and experience love, romance, anger and jealousy.

This dress is awesome! I bought it to attend my 30th High School Reunion cocktail party event and I have never received as many compliments on my outfit as I did wearing this dress. It's classy, sexy, and camouflages all my bumps and bulges I want to disguise! I felt so beautiful in this dress! Just love it! I am 5'7" and weigh 155 lbs, and a bit thick in the mid-zone and this dress fit me perfectly! I have always loved Dillards, and have gotten many dresses from them, but have never ordered online from them before. It came in a flash! I was a little taken aback on their return policy of store credit only, but I I knew I could find something else I would like there, if needed. No need to return it. Love it!

Great dress. I am only five feet tall so I had the bottom tier take off by a seamstress for very little money - she said it was an easy fix. I am also overweight, especially in my waist, and the dress is very flatteringLove this dress.
Flattering Dress
By moneygirl
from St Louis, MO
This dress is very figure flattering. I bought it for my nephews wedding. When I tried it on in the store I was so impressed and felt great in it. I liked that it wasn't low cut. However, when I got to the wedding a few weeks later, I must of gained a few pounds or wore the wrong bra and I felt I was coming out of it. I'm a 38DD, so it's hard to find dresses that hide it, unless I wear a turtle neck. I'm a size 12 and 5'5" tall. It really is flattering in the waist line and hips. Also it doesn't wrinkle, I packed it in my suit case and didn't need to iron it. I would try this dress.

Elegant and sexy
By Kimspace
from Texas
I am 5"8 tall and 137 lbs. I ordered the size 10 and it was too loose in the waist and arm holes were a bit too low. I am ordering the size 8 and it should fit perfectly. Can't wait to get it. This dress is classy and elegant for any special occasion. It has a low cut V in the front and back but you can wear a regular bra with it and it doesn't show. I am wearing it to an evening Christmas party and I'm pairing it with a black wrap. I especially like the tiered design and cap sleeves. Material is of nice quality. Gorgeous! You can't go wrong with this dress ladies!
