could not live without it!
By n/a
from Columbia, MS
This is my "work shoes" and I could not work without them. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn to work and have been at the same job for forty three years! The first pair was a gift from my father who is now deceased but he know a good product when he saw one.

About Me Stylish
I am in the Service Industry, and wear my Encore Groove Pro's daily. Finally 6 years later it's just about time to get a new pair. I HIGHLY endorse these shoes for anyone in the service industry! Not only comfotable and durable but I have never had any type of aching feet at the end of a shift not even a double.

Total comfort!
By Tx mom
I have worn these shoes for 5 years. They are as comfortable as the first day I wore them. Finally time for a new pair due to everyday wear and tear. Definitely worth the money for your feet to feel great all day.

I added about 3/4 C plain flour and 1/2 tsp salt to the cake mix to cut the sweetness (add these until you think it tastes good/not too sweet, almost like a mildly sweet biscuit dough). I also added a pinch of salt to the cherry pie filling to cut sweetness also and to disguise any weird canned/fake flavor (add to taste). The butter I used was salted. I also added little dots of butter to the pie filling. Turned out very good and not too sweet.
Wonderful! I used fresh cherries from our yard, mixed with almond extract, cornstarch, and sugar. And I substituted toasted/glazed almonds for the pecans. Going to try it as a peach cobbler next!
A fantastic recipe, I used a small crock pot and halved the recipe using half the cake mix and 1 can of pie filling because I mad it for 2 people and it still lasted 3 days. will make many more times with different fruit!
This was very good! I halved the recipe because I used a small box of cake mix by Sweet N Low...next time I will have to make the full recipe...the entire family loved it. Thanks for a easy, delicious recipe!
If there was a way to give this 10 stars I totally would!!! This was the easiest and by far the best cobbler recipe I've ever tried. I used peach filling instead of cherry, smeared a small amount of butter all over my crock pot before putting anything in, and dotted a little butter on the top of the pecans. It was absolutely perfect at 3.5 hours. Also, I used a cake mix that did not contain dairy and soy margarine to make this dairy free. We put vanilla ice cream (regular for my hubby and soy for me and my DH) on top. MMMMMMmmmmmmm!
Soooo easy to make and good too! I cut recipe in half, came out very good and will make again. I want to try peaches next time.
I love crockpot dishes. Five star for ease. I had a hard time determining when it was done. The cake mix was still dry on top after 4 hours. Next time I'll try a little butter drizzeled on the top and/or more cooking time. I like the taste more than my husband. However he is spoiled to homemade cobblers. I will update after experimenting some.
EXTREMELY AWESOME~ I made this last night for the first time when we had company. The great thing about this recipe is you can use any kinda pie filling (or combination of) that you want. I used Apple, Blueberry, and Strawberry in equal amounts totalling the 42oz of pie filling the recipe calls for. I let it cook for the full 4 hours. SUPERIOR! The aroma filled my house as we all kept lifting the lid to take a whiff. It couldnt have been easier to whip up. Any leftover pie filling I used as topping for the vanilla ice cream we piled on the top with some whip cream. Thank you so much for posting!
Amazing! Not exactly like a "traditional" cobbler but still outstanding. Couldn't have been easier and had a great taste. The small portion that was leftover kept surprisingly well in the fridge too. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream. I will definitely make this again and have already started thinking about how I might adapt it to an apple version. Thanks so much for posting this!

I am using an application programmed in Access (creating schedules). Other people in the network have a kind of "emulator" to view these schedules, and I make regular updates to files.
My problem:
During a consultation with a remote person, a .Mdb opens. And for me to update files, I have to erase everything (in a folder) and copy my own files. But I find myself with the message (Windows) as what the file is already open and I can not erase. FYI, I am not a network administrator.
- Environment: Windows 2000 Professional
- Mdb files created in Access 97
My expectation: Is there a way or solution for:
- Or force them to remotely delete this file?
- Either disconnect remote (but I can not know the number of PCs that opened the file) all persons who have opened the application before I upgrade?
My only solution now is to call my director (when I have to!) So that the user disconnects.
Is there not a possibility to disconnect the target directory before copying the files using net.exe?
Thank you for your possible answers.

Top of camera controls
Top of the camera is the main command dial for switching between exposure modes, playback and setup. This is different from the way the 990 and last years 800 handles mode changes, Nikon have gone the same route as many other manufacturers in separating the power and mode switch. The power switch as you can see now surrounds the shutter release.
Play - review images on storage card. Immediately displays last image shot.
Auto - Full automatic exposure. "Point and shoot", no access to MENU options, you can set exposure compensation, focus mode (not manual focus) and flash mode.
Scene - Shoot using predefined exposure defaults for shooting a particular type of scene or situation (covered in detail on the features section of this review).
Programmed Auto - Very similar to AUTO mode, camera automatically
calculates exposure, however you now have access to MENU options
(such as white balance, sharpness, tone) you can also manually focus,
select focus points etc. etc.
Aperture Priority - Aperture can be selected manually by holding the exposure compensate button and pressing the 4-way controller left or right, the camera calculates the correct shutter speed. If the selected aperture would lead to under or over exposure the aperture will flash on both displays when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. Possible apertures are:
So, unfortunately the 880 only has two aperture stops.
Manual - In manual mode you can select both shutter speed and aperture by holding the exposure compensate button and pushing the 4-way controller either left / right (aperture) or up / down (shutter speed) a display on the control panel will indicate how much the image would be under or over exposed with a particular exposure setting, in addition there's a exposure meter on the main LCD: A perfect exposure would indicate +/- 0 (like the one below).
|Custom Mode - Identical to Programmed Auto in operation but all settings made in CSM are stored and do not effect settings for P, A or M. This means you can set CSM up for a particular "favourite" group of settings without affecting the main settings.
|SETUP - Enters the main camera setup menu (detailed later).
Rear of camera controls
Rear of the camera extends the obvious design changes Nikon have made, there is now a row of four multi function buttons above the LCD and the MENU and MONITOR buttons are moved to the right side of the LCD above and below the 4-way controller. Zoom control sits comfortably under your thumb, so no problems there.
At first it's a little confusing as to what combinations of button and 4-way controller does what, though after a while you do get used to it. Below we've compiled a table of the combinations of button actions either simply pressed or held and used in combination with the zoom or 4-way controller.

May is a big month for Warren Buffett and his conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway.
That's when thousands of shareholders descend on Omaha -- more than 30,000 last year -- to attend his annual meeting the first Saturday of the month. They come to eat ice cream at Dairy Queen (one of Berkshire Hathaway's holdings), shop at Borsheims (the Omaha jewelry store Berkshire has long owned) and dine at Gorat's and Piccolo's (his favorite restaurants). This year, the festivities also included a newspaper-tossing contest, a blindfolded chess player and an American table-tennis champion.
Buffett has long called his annual meeting "Woodstock for capitalists." But it's really more like a revival meeting.
At 83, Warren Buffet is the second-wealthiest American behind Bill Gates. In his annual letter to shareholders this year, Buffett shares his legendary philosophy on buy-and-hold "value" investing. He explains that readers shouldn't be distracted by the white noise of the market, and that while he and his long-time partner Charlie Munger may make stock-picking mistakes, they won't be the kind of disasters "that occur, for example, when a long-rising market induces purchases that are based on anticipated price behavior and a desire to be where the action is."
Buffett is considered to have such a track record of picking stock winners and avoiding losers that his annual letter to shareholders in his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate is treated as a major event by the financial media.The smart way to invest, according to Buffet
When the press addresses the subject of beating the market through astute stock picking, the name Warren Buffett usually comes up. But what does this celebrated investor actually say about the smart way to invest?
While many investors hope to follow Buffett in analyzing individual companies in minute detail with the hope of finding a bargain, he advocates that the right approach for most people is to let the market do all the work and worrying for them. He tells investors to diversify and keep costs low.
As to all the predictions out there about interest rates, emerging markets, or geopolitics, there will always be a range of opinions, he says. But we are under no obligation to listen to the media commentators, however distracting they may be.
"Owners of stocks . . . too often let the capricious and irrational behavior of their fellow owners cause them to behave irrationally," Mr. Buffett says. "Because there is so much chatter about markets, the economy, interest rates, price behavior of stocks, etc., some investors believe it is important to listen to pundits -- and, worse yet, important to consider acting upon their comments."Focusing on the long term value
What does he think about the Federal Reserve taper? What could be the implications for emerging markets of a Russian military advance into Ukraine? What does an economic slowdown in China mean for developed markets?

Globalization and Animal Law. Comparative Law, International Law and International Trade
Globalization and Animal Law. Comparative Law, International Law and International Trade
The rise of the globalized economy has rendered an even more profound change in the relationship between humans and other animals than the ancient progression from hunter-gatherer to agricultural society. In today's global markets, multinational corporations exploit the economic value of animals throughout the world on an unprecedented scale. Many humans today do not even make their own choices about what they eat and buy; those choices are made by the global marketing machine that "packages" their food and the other products they purchase. The philosophical and legal notions that animals are mere unfeeling machines or pieces of property, although more or less taken for granted for centuries, has been challenged in recent decades (in law, moral philosophy, and cognitive and other sciences), and regulation of the treatment of animals in agriculture, experimentation, and entertainment has begun to make substantial inroads in national and international law.
To a large extent this new found awareness comes from the moral repugnance we often experience as we learn the facts of modern food production, experimentation and entertainment practices involving animals – facts the popular media seldom mention. This book provides the first analysis of international and comparative animal law which focuses on the impact of today's globalized economy on animal law. Describing a wide range of individual domestic and international laws relating to the treatment of animals, the author clearly explicates the kinds of rules which affect the global animal marketplace. Representative norms in existing animal protection laws are analyzed and critiqued, along with laws that are illustrative of diverse approaches taken by different countries and by the international community to regulate the uses of animals. Among the issues covered are the following:
- contemporary philosophical thought on the relationship between humans and animals;
- recent scientific research relating to cognitive and other abilities of animals;
- legal issues relating to factory farming and animal slaughter operations;
- legal protection of animals during transport;
- regulatory schemes on animal experimentation;
- laws on the use of animals in entertainment;
- regulation of trade in endangered species;
- international trade issues, including the provisions of GATT relevant to animal protection and the seminal WTO/GATT decisions in the Tuna/Dolphin and Shrimp/Turtle cases;
- constitutional protection for the interests of animals; and
- what the future may hold for animal law in the global economy.
To ensure the consideration of a full range of legal approaches, the laws analyzed come from a wide variety of countries, including the US, the UK, New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, India, Canada, Australia, and Austria, as well as the EU. Numerous international treaties and conventions relevant to animal treatment are also covered, including the CITES Convention and the GATT Treaty. It is not difficult to grasp, given the continuing increases in production, consumption and use of animals and animal products worldwide, that legal initiatives in this often emotional and acrimonious area of law are frequently contentious and hard fought. But this is really just the dawn of animal law, which has only recently become recognized as an important cutting edge topic, and thisarea of the law promises to develop rapidly in the future.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7 — A vigorous discussion is not necessarily a bad thing right now, but be careful. The possibility of error remains high. Your intuition comes to the rescue. Envision positive outcomes and organize a plan to make them happen.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5 — Calm down a radical. Act on revolutionary ideas another day, without blocking creative energies. Instead, work out a plan for maximum acceptance, and launch later. Avoid distractions. Communication provides the most powerful tool. Find common language.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Today is a 7 — Keep long-term goals in mind. Don't choose based only on feelings, or fall for a sob story. Things could get chaotic, with new problems to resolve. Curtail travel and romance until things are under control. Organization provides confidence.

I understand it but you're leaving out a critical point. Yes oj had a good life. Because he kept done money. Lance will as well. He's worth like a 150 million. But neither of them will be liked. Trusted. Armstrong will end up a meme. Forever associated with doping and cheating. He will not command respect or attention in the manner he did. He will not command the attention if presidents. Guys like that aren't about the good life meaning having enough cash to do what they want they crave power.
Note: Merckx keeps very quiet about the whole period after his time... best approach.
not sure why Lemond needs to be charging everyhting like Don Quixote... some people are just like that...
its not serving him well.
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lillac too
A never to grow old
You may want to take your own advice, considering Greg's track record with the truth so far.
Also, I always find it so odd when folks criticise him for being a 'has been'. Is that better or worse than your record of 'never was'?
Your post is a litany of your own ignorance. Why not ask, instead of of proving yourself a fool?
Lemond isn't the tool here.
Lance said "no one can win the Tour without doping." This basically accuses every successful pro cyclist of juicing.
Yeah, I'd agree that isn't a correct assessment. Armstrong didn't have privileged access to any drugs. Still, he's right that Armstrong was nowhere near as exceptional as he proclaimed, with all that "zomg superior VO2Max" BS.Originally Posted by eja
Yes. It was approved by the UCI before the race.Originally Posted by eja
By the way, Lemond and Fignon were never more than 1 minute apart during the entire race. Lemond took a risk to use aero bars, and it worked out.
Yeah, that's actually what he did for many years:Originally Posted by eja
"I couldnt go near the Tour de France for fear I would be asked about Armstrong and doping. What could I say no comment? I couldnt sell my soul and switch topics to talk about my 1986 Tour."
Lemond may be wrong on a few of the finer points, but at the core he's right. Armstrong was a doper, a bully, and a litigious bastard who had no qualms about ruining the lives of anyone who dared to tell the truth -- and has yet to express any remorse for his actions.
He built a cancer charity which, while fairly well run: Funds almost no cancer research, doesn't provide a lot of services, and mostly exists to burnish Armstrong's ego.Originally Posted by eja
He used sponsorship money from the USPS to pay for his team's doping regime. Pretty close.Originally Posted by eja
Not me. And not the people who are riding more and more over the past few years. And almost all of the people who were motivated by Armstrong believed a well-orchestrated lie.Originally Posted by eja
Average or mediocre?Originally Posted by eja
And no, I don't care how much he boosted Trek's sales.
How much of his motivation to start his charity was to pad his image, which in turn lined his pocketbook?Originally Posted by eja
Has he resigned the board of Livestrong yet?
Did he decide that livestrong.org would be for the non-profit, and livestrong.com would be a commercial entity that was allowed to use the Livestrong brand identity?
We're not all consequentialists, by the way. Motives count when passing judgment.
Because he's a lying, manipulative, vindictive, cruel, selfish man who ruined at least a dozen careers to protect his lies, received enormous material rewards explicitly because of his unethical behavior, and tarnished the sport of cycling for years to come.Originally Posted by eja
Oh yeah, he's also perjured himself on multiple occasions.
And he was about as remorseful as a leech in the Big Interview.
For starters, I'm not a lying manipulative vindictive cruel selfish bastard who got rich off of a pack of lies.Originally Posted by eja

The picture painted was that of a very narcissistic guy, who is almost a borderline sociopath. Kinda sad, in that the doping could probably be forgiven, but where he really crossed the line was with the viciousness/meaness he went after opponents, whom he knew were being truthful.

You can have that be the all important last word.
All he could do is smirk and say "I never called you fat." Even Oprah didn't buy that one.
2) He didn't "trust her" with anything. She was in the room when Armstrong told one of his doctors that he had done a whole bunch of PED's.
She actually did what you're supposed to do -- namely, tell the truth when asked about it in a court of law.
^And the Andreus sat on that story until subpoenaed by a court of law.
I'm curious, what did Lance to to Frankie's career? I do remember him staying on with USPS after he retired, at least through 2001.
Yeah, he did come of as his old self.
I doubt he's really sorry about calling her what he did.
My guess is that he felt that she was really bothered by thinking he called her fat , and thought it funny -- ironic maybe -- that she was really upset over something he hadn't said.
I think most people , myself included thought the guy was a schmuck on his best day. It seems to me that he did this Oprah thing purely for his own reasons. I dont know what those could be, but I highly doubt he did this for anyone's benefit except his own. All these comments relating his admission to other deeds that others have done is just silly. Its actually what I think is wrong with the world in this age, there is no honor. It is a rare thing when a person does the right thing because it is the right thing to do. I don't mean not dope in the first place or never make a mistake, but when you do, understand what societies rules and conventions are and fess up. Dont try to bend things to favor your mistake.

Equation to calculate Oklahoma's school grades still considered flawed, officials say
Behind the letter grades every school received in October is a complex and hotly debated formula that determines which schools are A's, which schools are failing and all the B's, C's and D's in between.
It was a subset of the formula — a small variation in the calculation of an average — that delayed the release of letter grades for two weeks and caused more than 260 school superintendents to protest.
In the end, the board decided to keep the formula as it was, and not make the changes requested by the superintendents.
"There was no contact, whatsoever, with us during that two-week period," said Tulsa schools Superintendent Keith Ballard. "The board was getting a lot of input information. It was an uncomfortable situation for them. … But what we were told is 'it's just a bunch of superintendents who don't like change.' I was incredulous."
Ballard has led a number of drastic reforms in Tulsa Public Schools to turn around failing schools in the district, including Project Schoolhouse, which closed more than 13 schools, required student uniforms throughout the district, and implemented a new teacher evaluation system that has been adopted in school districts throughout the state.
State Education Board Member Brian Hayden said he spent the two-week delay examining the formula and understanding the ins and outs of how grades are awarded.
"I dug in really deep into understanding that component," Hayden said. "It was a subcomponent of the growth area. And my initial reaction before digging in a little deeper was maybe that area wasn't that big of a deal on having the impact on the overall grades."
The change requested by superintendents would have led to much higher grades overall and Hayden said that grade inflation would have watered down the evaluation system.
"There's always going to be different sides and different opinions of how we do things," Hayden said. "Our job is to listen to all the factors and all the sides and try to bring collaboration and communication where it's really necessary."
The governor's office got involved, reaching out to board members to discuss the issue.
"It was really around all of us trying to really understand what legislative intent, what the rules were, and implementation, really trying to move forward," Hayden said. "It was helpful."
Gov. Mary Fallin signed House Bill 1456 in May 2011, implementing the A to F letter grade system for schools. The state Education Department then went through an extensive rule-writing process to implement the system and establish a workable equation for the grades.
Still, the board's decision — which was made with very little conversation during the public meeting — appeared to be an about-face from the previous state Education Board meeting where board members seemed to side with superintendents.
Ballard said he was disappointed that there was no collaboration.
"I don't necessarily fault the board — boards have to have a confidence that the information they are given is accurate," Ballard said. "I think there are flaws in the formula. I don't believe that it is a totally accurate representation."
Most of the complaints about the A to F formula have come from the "growth categories."
Just 33 percent of a school's grade is based on student performance on standardized reading, math, science, social studies and writing exams.
Another 33 percent of the score is based on something called whole school performance, which for elementary schools is based on school attendance. In middle schools and high schools, they consider the dropout rate, graduation rate and the percent of advanced coursework offered.
But it's the two categories that account for the remaining 34 percent that have raised concern — the two growth categories. Of that 34 percent, 17 percent is the growth of all students and 17 percent is the growth of the bottom quarter of students, the lowest performing quartile.
Measuring a student's growth is all the rage in public schools now. It can help account not only for how smart, intelligent, or far ahead a student is when entering a school, but how well the school helps the student improve.
The ideal measure for growth among many education experts is something called the "value-added" rating. Value-added measures how a student performs on a test compared with how they are expected to perform based on expected gains for that student during a school year.
Oklahoma hopes to implement that complicated growth measure in the evaluation of teachers in future years, but the technology isn't there to use that growth measure now.
So instead, student growth is being measured using several methods. A school can earn a "growth point" anytime a student jumps from one category of performance to another.
Students are sorted into four categories based on performance: unsatisfactory, limited knowledge, satisfactory and advanced.
For every student who improves in the course of a year from one category to another, the school earns a point.
Schools also are awarded points for students who maintain the proficient or advanced category for two consecutive years.
"If you remain proficient or advanced for two years in a row, then you get a growth point because it was decided that you were gaining knowledge," said Maridyth McBee, assistant state superintendent for accountability and assessment.
Finally, schools were awarded growth points if a student in the limited knowledge or unsatisfactory category improved more on tests than the average improvement of all other students.
That was the sticking point for many superintendents. They said the average should be a true average that also takes into consideration students who regressed, thus lowering the bar that a student had to get over to earn a growth point for the school.
The growth measure is intended to recognize the work that lower performing schools do. A school's student population may come in at a lower level of academic performance — due to external factors like poverty, high mobility, single-parent households, foster care and homelessness — yet the school still could be considered high performing because of how quickly students progress in a good environment with excellent teachers and administrators.
No child left behind
Before schools were awarded letter grades, they were awarded points on a scale from 0 to 1,500.
Under the old system — the Academic Performance Index — 227 schools were considered in "need of improvement" the 2010-2011 school year. The needs improvement list is a federal designation of schools that had failed to make enough progress in the course of a year to meet requirements.
The state itself didn't meet the threshold for adequate yearly progress in the 2010 to 2011 school year. The expectations for API scores had steadily been increasing over the years until every school would have been expected to score a perfect 1,500 on the scale in 2014 — a mandate that came with President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind legislation.
Under the new system — the A to F grading scale — 10 schools received F's and 138 received D's.
There were 160 schools that received A's, 841 schools with B's and 594 schools with C's.
"Part of the history I've heard and criticisms around education in the state of Oklahoma is that we've watered down things so much that really we are behind national averages even though we think the state is doing great because of test scores," said McBee.
She said the letter grading system was established to correlate back to where the state is at in academic performance.
"If we make it so that the hurdle is so easy to get over, what are we really accomplishing?" McBee asked.
The letter grades, much like API scores, are composed of several factors, not just student performance on standardized tests.
But to complicate things further, the letter grades will not be used to satisfy the No Child Left Behind Act. Another classification of schools, one that districts have seen and will be released sometime in mid-December, is being used instead.
McBee said the A to F classification is an easier designation for the community to understand than the new measure for No Child Left Behind.
Edmond Public Schools Superintendent David Goin said he finds it ironic that under the No Child Left Behind Act they have several schools that are labeled as the highest performers — Reward Schools. But under the A to F grading scale that is being sent out to parents and publicized, many of those schools received B's.
"We have nine elementary schools that are referred to as Reward Schools," Goin said. "This year, of those Reward Schools only three made A's and the reward schools are in the top four percent of achievement."
Goin said the biggest issue in the calculation is the growth component, particularly in the calculation of growth among the lowest quartile.
He said that it is not in fact an analysis of the bottom quarter of students, but only those students in the unsatisfactory and limited knowledge categories. He said in some Edmond Public Schools that is only 15 to 20 students out of hundreds.
"You're talking about children who, it could be questionable about whether they should be taking the test or not," Goin said. "Either we have very, very weak elementary education across the state, or there's something amiss with the formula.
"What we've ended up with is an extremely large number of B's in the state and a dearth of A's, and so the span of achievement levels even among your B schools is tremendous," he said.

Yesterday, I told you all about my trip to the mascot factory in Indianapolis. Well, there was more to that day. On the drive to Indy I saw a sign that said something like "Next Exit Knightstown, Home of the Hoosiers Gym". I was in a hurry to get to Indy, but the idea of potentially seeing the gym where they filmed Hoosiers was getting me excited. What other 'Hoosiers Gym' could they be talking about? I just hope it would be open when I came back through.
I made it to Knightstown, Indiana around 3:30 on the way home. The little town is a couple miles off of I-70, but easily found by following the signs. (I would later find out that those blue tourists signs for the gym had been fought for by the committee that maintains the gym. It seems they had to take boxes of visitors sign in books to convince those in charge that enough people really did stop there.)
"No school this small has ever been to a state championship."
If you are a fan of the movie you probably already know that the Hickory Huskers are a fictional team, but the story is based off of the Milan Indians 1954 Indiana state championship team. The story of that group is legend in Indiana. Thanks to the movie, it is now legend everywhere.
The gym in Knightstown was built for the local school, the Knightstown Panthers in 1922. It also hosted several games for the Michigan Rails and Baltimore Orioles professional basketball teams. The wood floor was replaced in 1935, but has been the same ever since.In 1966 the Panthers moved to a new gym adjacent to the school (perhaps one with more than 7 rows of bleachers) and the fate of the old gym was in jeopardy. It closed down in the fall of '66.
"Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass everyday, but, mister you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here."
The gym remained closed, hosting only the occasional event until the statewide search for 'an appropriate town and gym for the making of a movie about Indiana basketball' was conducted. The gym couldn't look modern. It had to be from the 1940's or earlier, and no modern seats or upgrades could be visible. A Knightstown resident made the push for the gym to be included in the search and it became one of the 5 finalists. Several of the gyms that were finalists ended up being cast as visiting gyms, but the one thing Knightstown had going for it was that it was not connected to the school and a filming schedule wouldn't have to work around a school schedule. The gym was selected, the town itself didn't meet the criteria to be filmed as Hickory, and so multiple locations were used.
"Welcome to Indiana basketball."
As I drove up to the gym, I first notice the sign- 'Hoosier Gym Community Center'. I see a few vehicles, and hear voices from inside. Maybe they gym isn't available to tour. Fortunately, it was. The front lobby has all kinds of photos and artifacts from the filming. That includes the large, signed 'team photo' from the final scene of the movie. Also under glass in a case is a script signed by Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper.
While I was interested in the stuff in the lobby, the noise coming from the gym was making me think I was interrupting some team's practice. I made my way into the gym and up into the stands. It turns out that this was just an open gym, part of the community center's programming.
The sound of the basketball hitting that wood floor really took me back. You know that sound. That thuda-dudda sound you don't get playing on blacktop or concrete. In fact, you don't even get that real hollow kind of thud on newer wood floors.
I made my way back to the lobby, still unsure of whether I should really be there, when I was greeted by an older gentleman. He was the President of the Hoosier Gym Community Center Committee. And he took me on a tour.
"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners."
We went down to the locker room. Mervin (I sincerely hope I got that name correct) told me about playing at Knightstown when he was in high school. The small locker room is downstairs and right next to the outside block wall. A radiator attached to the wall provided the only heat source. Mervin talked about how remarkably cold it was during the winter and how he felt fortunate not to have gotten pneumonia having showered after a game.
He also showed me several items in the lobby that I hadn't noticed before, including a basketball autographed by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James. They had done a piece for ESPN with Jim Gray (hmmmm) some years ago and signed the ball for the gym while they were there.
"I'll make it."
The community center nearly became a museum. The idea was to preserve the gym so that tourists could come and see where the movie had been filmed, without so much as a basketball being dribbled on it's floor apart from that. Mervin would have nothing to do with a museum. "The kids still needed a place to play." So Mervin runs the community center. He finds the coaches and forms the leagues. He gives the residents of the community a chance to use the center that they built. And it is funded by a yearly high school all star game called the "Hoosiers Reunion All Star Classic". The event raises around $10,000 dollars a year for the building, which helps pay utilities and fees for the year.
You can go see the gym for yourself if you ever find yourself driving along I-70. I'd recommend it.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive
The Game says he's about to put out music to make his rivals pump their brakes. He has a new mixtape, hosted by DJ Skee and produced entirely by Cool & Dre, ready to drop at the beginning of August called Brake Lights.
"We did this Drake record called 'Good Girl, Bad Girl' in L.A. during the BET [Awards] for The R.E.D. Album, " Dre of Cool & Dre told us earlier this week of how the mixtape was conceived. "That record feels like an authentic Game record, something off The Documentary. It has that soul music. Him and Drake made a classic record. It feels like something the DJs would drop the needle on. What Game wanted to do was take the energy from that session and continue it.
"The R.E.D. Album is wrapped up," Dre continued of the August 24 album. "Sh– sounds good. Pharrell gave him some heat, [DJ] Khalil gave him some heat, Dr. Dre gave him some heat. So what he's trying to do is 'Let's kill the streets with a mixtape before the album.' And he asked me and Cool to produce it for him. I always get on him, like, 'Yo, Game. One of these albums, man. Our track record is kinda all right. You should give us an opportunity to really go in with you, do the majority of your album.' "
"Every time, they'll be like, 'We ain't never did a whole mixtape with you,' " Game explained Wednesday night from his tour bus. "They said, 'We know Skee is gonna host it.' They was like, 'Let us supply all the tracks.' They started sending me tracks. Three one day, four the next day. I was bodying them joints back to back to back."
In just three days, Game had recorded 10 songs over the Miami duo's beats. Everyone loved all the cuts.
"Me and Cool will play a beat, and he'll turn that beat into an incredible song," Dre applauded. "We sent Game a CD with 15 joints. For three days he spazzed out. He sent back 10 to Cool, and Cool started mixing them."
"Mixtapes, you don't mix them joints," Game said. "You just throw them out. But Cool wanted to mix them joints, make sure all the vocals and the beats was right, well blended. We dropped the 'M.I.A' joint — the LeBron, D. Wade and Chris Bosh joint — on the Internet. The people went nuts. It was the first song talking about that. A shot in the dark I threw out there for the people, man. We buzzin'."
Game also revealed that one of his favorite records from Brake Lights is the title track, and he put a few guests in the mix as well. "I did a few collaborations," the Compton MC said. "I got something I did with [Lil] Wayne before he left. I got something with Baby. Always gotta have them a part of anything red. Them my dudes. Waka Flocka came through to jump on the mixtape hook. I got some stuff, man."
Dre is partial to a song Game has with Busta. "He's got a record with Busta Rhymes called 'Shot Down in Cold Blood,' " Dre described. "The beat is a beat we originally did for Kanye, for his new album. It's got a vibe, man. Through the whole song, Busta says, 'Shot down in cold blood.' Every two bars he says, 'Shot down in cold blood.' Busta does it in a Jamaican patois voice. Game just spits a bunch of sh–, which makes the 'shot down in cold blood' make sense. He has a feature on there I can't say.
"There's a record called 'People' that has Mary J. Blige on it," he continued. "That's soulful. It's a lot of soul-sample beats, which we're known for, on the mixtape. There's a lot of gangsta sh– on there. Some 'Big Dreams,' 'Hate It or Love It' type sh– is on there. You're getting a free Game album to get you ready for this R.E.D. Album."
Game says he wants to shoot a couple of videos for the mixtape when he gets off tour.

Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison, by Shaka Senghor

On families and fares
Last November, our Chicklet turned six—and entered the world of fare-paying riders. As with many aspects of taking transit with children, this transition has presented some logistical challenges.
In an ideal world, Bus Nerd and I would be able to pay for Chicklet with our own ORCA cards.* Unfortunately, that is not an option. Not surprisingly, it isn't possible to load two passes onto one card. And, though each of us has both a pass and a supplementary "e-purse"** loaded on our cards, it's not possible to use the pass for the adult fare and the e-purse for the …

Transfer rage
Looks like someone's getting a bit tired of explaining the new(ish) paper transfer rules. (Via: Bus Nerd)
I feel him. Transfer/payment/Orca confusion is the topic of many (many!) driver inquiries and bus-wide discussions.
For better or worse, Link edition
Chicklet, Busling, and I took a recent Link excursion to the Beacon Hill Library. We went to attend an event, but I was mostly just looking for an excuse to get the BH stamp on my library passport (and yes, I'm still working on that).
I ride the train very infrequently, but every time I do, I wish I had the opportunity to do so more often. The reasons aren't particularly unique, but I'm going to share them nonetheless.
– I don't need a schedule. Trains are frequent and (unlike buses) don't often experience delays. I …

Heads up: Big bus changes in 2010
The highlights:
• Another fare increase: Starting January 1st, a one-zone peak-hour trip will cost $2.25. (Note: Youth fares will not change.)
• No more Puget Passes: Need a bus pass? Get an Orca card. They're free until January 31st, and then they'll cost $5. (Note: All passes purchased in 2009–before the December 15th deadline–will be valid until they expire, and all employer-provided passes will be accepted until the employer makes the transition.)
• No more paper transfers between systems: You'll still be able to use paper transfers within Metro's system, but only Orca-based electronic transfers will be …

Transportation in the news
• There's a new, nationwide portal for transit applications. MyBus and OneBusAway are already in there. (Source: Mission-Sustainable)
• Transit riders and privacy groups are raising concerns about the way Orca collects and stores users' travel data. They're chatting about it over at STB.
• Link's Seatac station is up and running. I missed the big ribbon-cutting (hey, it was at 8-something on Saturday morning!), and I'm not headed out of town anytime soon, but I'll probably ride down there for the heck of it in a day or two. Anyone already been?

Link: Our first "real" ride
On Saturday evening, I finally caved to Nerd's nagging to ride Link again, and we decided to head down to Columbia City for something to eat. It was our first time riding for real–as in, not on a opening/celebration day–and I am happy to report that (despite the rumors I've heard about empty trains) we had tons of company on our ride. If anything, we had too much company; we had to stand for the first several stops.
We also hit our share of new-travel-mode snags. For example:
• Payment was confusing. When we got to Pioneer Square station, …

Catching up
After 21 post-free days–the longest hiatus I've taken from this blog in the three (plus) years I've been writing it–I return (project: complete, Chicklet: healthy and enjoying her bus rides more than ever), determined to reestablish a more regular posting schedule in May.
I've had about a zillion bus adventures since I last checked in–far too many to write about. The good news is, there will be many zillions more.

Until there's a biometric option…
Sound Transit or Metro? Peak or off peak? One zone or two? Pay as you enter or as you leave? If you hate keeping track of this stuff (or carrying extra change in your wallet to supplement your pass), you'll be happy to know that Metro, Sound Transit, and several other regional transit agencies are in the process of testing that smart-card-based, regional fare system I mentioned back in August. (In fact, I think the test was scheduled to end on 12/22.) Though I don't regularly ride any of the participating routes, I've seen a few of the …

Up for this auction is one of tougher ones to locate from the 1989 Football Set. I have a Super Clean 1989 Rookie Starting Lineup of Jim Covert of the Chicago Bears still factory sealed in the original package and this SLU has been professionally graded by the AFA grading company and it received a final grade of AFA 85 with subgrades of 85 Cardboard, 85 Bubble and 85 Figure. The piece looks mint. There are NO CREASES on either side of the cardboard, very rare. Not even a hint of a Kenner Heat Seal Vein on the back. There are No price stickers or sticker tears, shadows or residue. All of the corners are nice with No softness or separation. The bubble is factory sealed very tightly with NO looseness or denting or yellowing. The figurine looks nice with No inner paint rub or smearing or yellowing to the figure. Trading card looks nice and well centered. Front Hang tab support is clear with No yellowing. Back side of the package looks perfect with NO noticeable flaws, very rare. UPC sticker looks great. This final grade was easily deserved, should of gotten a 90 Cardboard Grade all day long. Looks as good as the day it was put on the shelf back in 89. This tough SLU comes sealed in the classic AFA acrylic case with the 3 subgrade verification sticker in the bottom left hand corner of the case. AFA Serial Number is 19903920, to verify it just go to AFA's website. AFA Case is in great shape with No scratches or chipping. As a bonus winning bidder will receive free U.S.Priority Shipping with insurance. Thanks for looking and sorry for the white flash glare spots on the scans!

They all connect contrasting ideas. The "though" versions are called "subordinating," and "concessive," because they give one idea less importance than the other, or you're admitting (conceding) that the less-important thing is true or exists.
With "however," the ideas tend to be more nearly equal. It works something like "but." They may have all the moneybags, but we have all the brains. The two clauses describe equal but contrasting ideas. You could state the same two ideas without drawing attention to the contrast, by using "and" instead of "but," and by eliminating the "may." They have all the moneybags and we have all the brains.
Notice that when we substitute "However" for "but," we must use two sentences (or at least, a semicolon): They may have all the moneybags. However, we have all the brains. OR We, however, have all the brains.
++ Although they have all the moneybags, we have all the brains. With this version, we admit (concede) that we have no money, but we assert that this idea is less important than (subordinate to) the idea that we are the smart ones.
They have all the moneybags, although we have all the brains. Now we are subordinating our own intelligence. We "concede" that we are the smart ones, but since they are the rich ones, our brains will do us no good.
Although introduces the idea which is deemed less important.
Notice that when we use "although," these contrasting ideas don't have to be expressed by clauses. His punishment, although brutal, was well-deserved. I guess you can do the same thing with "however," except it seems more like an adverb than a conjunction: His punishment, however brutal, was well-deserved. (I'd take that as "no matter how brutal.")
"Though" is lower register (less formal) than "although."
I believe "even though" is a more intense version of "although." It seems to reassure the reader that we mean what we say.
I refuse to marry him, even though I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams. (in spite of the fact that)
Best wishes and good luck! - A.
++ Edit. I restored the original order of these clauses, to show that the sentence can begin with "although."
(one more) It looks to me as if the red team is going to win tonight, although I believe the blue team still has a chance.
It looks to me as if the red team is going to win tonight. However, I believe the blue team still has a chance.
The contrasting ideas in the two sentences are identical. Yet the use of "however" seems to express more optimism about the blue team, while "although" clearly downgrades their chances.

Anonymous:Hey buddy,
All these words represent the same idea of contrast. However, I guess the use of those are more related to formalities matters than grammar itself. I am canadian and as for me I was wondering and I came to the conlcusion that all of the are used with the same idea, the structure of the sentences is different though. Her are some examples, I also included nevertheless, which is a more formal way of however.
Altough you use in the begining of a sentence, it contrats 2 clauses in the same sentence.
Ex; Although the company has done its best to overcome the crisis, it had to fire 25% of the employees.
You have the same idea if you use despite the fact that and in spite of the fact that
EX; Despite the fact that/ In spite the fact that the company has done its best to overcome the crisis, it had to fire 25% of the employees.
In both sentences the idea is exaclty the same, its just a matter of choise using although or in spite/despite.
Even though for me sounds like a stronger way of saying although.
However or Nevertheless you use between 2 sentences, wherein the second has an idea that contrasts with the first one. Nevertheless is more formal than however.
Ex: The company has done everything to overcome the crisis. However/Nevertheless it had to fire 25% of the employees.
The company has done everything to overcome the crisis. It had, however/nevertheless, to fire 25% of the employees.
The idea is slighly different here for me when we use howver compared to although. Here we have an idea that what's more important is that the company did everything it could but as it wasn't enough, it had to fire employees.
When we use although, sounds like it's more important the fact that the company had to fire the employees, like the company did everything it could but even so it had to cutback employees.
You must pay attention that however/nevertheless either starts the second sentence, which in this case you use coma right after it or it comes right after the subject of the second sentence, in this case it comes between comas.
Though is used in the end of the second clause.
The company has done its best to overcome the crisis, it had to fire 25% of the employess though.
The company has done its best to overcome the crisis but it had to fire 25% of the employees.
Anyways, I think that for a foreigner whos learning English the differences in use of conjunctions is not so important once you can express the same ideas we have here using but. Conjunctions must be taken into consideration if you're writing formal texts and stuff. Me myself rarely use however,like any native English speaker we tend to use though or but in spoken language.
Hope this is gonna help you bud.
Anonymous:Just tell me that when we can use Although,though,even though,and however i know they give one meaing when we can use these one thing mor these are what adverb or somthing els
there are all used to mention a fact that makes another fact seem surprising, unusual, etc.
Example: Although I have been learning English for 10 years, I can't speak any decent English. (<-- the fact you can't speak English well after such a long time is kind of surprising, isn't it?)
And read this thread again, in case you missed something important. There is a lot of useful information.
My dictionary says they are "conjunctions".
Hope that answered your questions.
Anonymous:I know this question was posed a few years ago, but I just ran across this issue myself so I thought I'd share how I handled it. The rest of the responses on this page give a pretty good explanation of where to place the transitions, but my students had a problem deciding which idea should get the conjunction. I started off by explaining these conjunctions join two ideas that are opposite or opposing, but still both true. The lesser idea should get the conjunction because it opposes the 'main' idea.
My first example was: John is tall. John doesn't like basketball. Some of them wrote, "Even though John is tall, he doesn't like basketball." Some of them wrote "John is tall, even though he doesn't like basketball."
I asked them which idea is surprising or unusual- that he is tall or that he doesn't like basketball. They all agreed on the latter. I asked why it was unusual. "Tall people generally like basketball." So, I reasoned that the fact that he didn't like basketball was slightly more important than the idea that he is tall.
That didn't really convince them, though. So I used this example: I just ate lunch. I'm still hungry. Which idea is slightly more important: the fact that I just ate, or the fact that I'm still hungry? Most of them agreed that the fact that I'm still hungry is more important, so the sentence should read: Even though I just ate, I'm still hungry.
I used one more example: We had a picnic outside yesterday. It rained yesterday. I asked them, "When it rains, do people usually go outside to have a picnic?" They all said, "No." "So, which idea is more important- the fact that it rained, or the fact that we still went outside for a picnic?" This time, all of them agreed on the latter and made the correct sentence: Even though it rained yesterday, we had a picnic.
Hopefully this will help anyone else who comes across this lesson! Cheers.

Peek Presents Challenge: Linux on Peek
Peek presents the community a challenge to get Linux running on their small handhelds, without much fanfare.
Specifications for the challenge are few, just a blog entry from July 7 sent to the community asking "Which One of You Can Get Linux Working on the Peek?" After a few links to ARM and Linux, Dan Morel of the Peek team writes, "So armed with this new fountain of information I'm hoping one or more of you out there in the world can get Linux running on the Peek. Feel free to post here on how far you get." And further: "And here's the deal, if one of you does make it happen you can have a little mini-consulting gig with us to tell us how you did it and how we could build a Mobile Linux Peek."
In one of the blog responses, "Matt" writes, "The possibilities are indeed intriguing from a Linux point-of-view: This would be the cheapest Linux device I know about, and it has a screen, keyboard, and GSM." Another response came from a Pandora developer on the Gentoo project, although the issue has not yet been raised in the Pandora blogs.
At $20, the Peek Classic is a 3.8-ounce mobile mini-device with display and keyboard for emailing. The processor is an AMR7 from TI at 104 MHz, currently running on the homegrown Peekux OS. The Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA) display is 320 x 240 pixels and 8 MB of memory is standard. Data flow is by GPRS/GSM. The device is about as big as a normal mobile phone, but flatter and wider. The Peek Pronto enhanced edition costs $60, but can handle five instead of two email accounts. Pronto can also process PDF and DOC formats, although it's available only in black. The monthly email service cost is $15, with support for Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Not only does the New York firm present the challenge but also itself with a wink of the eye. Their Peekononics website offers some guidance on how to save mobile service costs over those of the popular providers. Their employees and testimonials are called "Peeksters." Simplicity is written all over the product: its birth came about when founder Amol Sarva needed a simple email device for his wife before the arrival of their first child.

Republican lawmakers propose federal workforce cutbacks to spare military spending
WASHINGTON — Working with a heightened sense of urgency, Sen. Jim Inhofe and other Republican defense hawks on Wednesday proposed that the federal government cut its workforce over the next decade to eliminate the need for deep cuts to the military this year.
Inhofe, of Tulsa, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said President Barack Obama's proposal on Tuesday to replace the looming cuts with a combination of spending reductions and new tax revenue was "a non-starter."
And though he called the situation "desperate" — with the military warning of widespread furloughs and training and maintenance cutbacks — Inhofe said, "It's not desperate enough that you start raising taxes when you can do it without raising taxes."
As a result of the debt ceiling deal of 2011, a total of $1.2 trillion in cuts, spread out over 10 years, are set to be triggered in March. The Defense Department will bear about half the burden, and Pentagon leaders have been warning for months about the potential effect.
The GOP proposal, introduced in the House and Senate, would allow government agencies to hire one person for every three that leave through attrition; congressional pay would also be frozen.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said the bill would save $85 billion over 10 years, enough to replace this year's share of the automatic cuts, known as the sequester.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the federal government was on pace to spend $47 trillion over the next 10 years. The question, he said, was whether Congress could cut $1.2 trillion over that period "without destroying the Defense Department."
Some of Obama's top aides met at the White House on Wednesday with leaders from several defense contractors.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the "focus of the conversation was the potential devastating impacts of the sequester going into effect."
But Carney insisted that legislation to replace the automatic cuts had to include new tax revenue, saying "it cannot be spending cuts alone."
Meanwhile, a coalition of outside groups, including Taxpayers for Common Sense and Americans for Tax Reform, sent a letter to members of Congress on Wednesday arguing that the Pentagon could absorb the cuts.
"Consensus exists among civilian and military experts that (the Defense Department) can absorb at least sequestration levels of spending cuts while retaining a robust force to meet the nation's security needs," the letter states.
"The bottom line is that sequestration will not weaken our military and should only be the first step in realigning the Pentagon's priorities."
But Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said top military leaders will testify next week about the specific cuts they'll have to make.
"When the American people find that out, there's going to be some real change," he said.

The Web may critically transform the way we understand the activity of proving. The Web as a collaborative medium allows the active participation of people with different backgrounds, interests, viewpoints, and styles. Mathematical formal proofs are inadequate for capturing Web-based proofs. This article claims that Web provings can be studied as a particular type of Goguen's proof-events. Web-based proof-events have a social component, communication medium, prover-interpreter interaction, interpretation process, understanding and validation, historical component, and styles. To demonstrate its claim, the article discusses the Kumo and Polymath projects, both of which employ Web-based communication as part of proving. Web proving is a novel type of proving activity that may have a serious impact on the change in mathematical practices, despite the fact that it is not currently a universally acceptable methodology.

Both closed-cell spray foam and open-cell spray foam insulation can be used effectively in commercial building designs to allow the building to achieve energy efficiency and consistent performance. When applied on the interior, open-cell spray foam provides performance advantages that differ from the advantages of closed-cell spray foam used on the exterior. Architectural firms can specify both the building envelope for a total performance option.[DP1]
|Open-Cell Spray Foam
|Closed-Cell Spray Foam
|Spray In Insulation and Air Barrier Material

|Able to accommodate seasonal shifting
|Cannot sustain mold
|R-Value (at 1")*

R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Compare insulation R-values before you buy. There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate you live in. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of insulation already in your house, and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you'll save on fuel. To get the marked R-value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.

Close to 50 teaching positions in the Lansing School District are on the line along with about 50 other support staff jobs.
Lansing School Board Vice President Dan Voss says when 85-percent of the budget is for salaries that's where the majority of the cuts have to be made, it's just a reality.
Zero percent pay increases for some 570 teaching assistants and support staff is another suggestion on the table. David Hockaday, President of the Lansing Education Assistants, attended a public hearing Thursday to tell the school board how he feels about the proposal.
Hockaday says a zero percent increase is not feasible.
The school board must slash $10 million in the next month. The upcoming cut has the board looking everywhere for answers especially since state funding continues to be a concern.
Other money saving suggestions include selling vacant school buildings, cutting back on high school block scheduling and reducing middle school teacher planning periods down to one.
