Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
Gold Watch becuz its a song dat tells ppl cool is wat u make of it not wat others tell u it is, basically a song 2 promote ur individualality
My favorite song is "Till I Get There" because it helps motivate me and keep me grounded. I listen to that song and I am reminded of the big picture, my future plans\goals, and how I can't allow others to affect my positive outlook and approach to said plans\goals.
Hip-Hop saved my life is one of my favorite Lupe songs. The beat is amazing and the lyrics complete it perfectly. I could listen to this song all day on repeat.
Glory, off of Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds. I've been following Lupe since 04 and the first time that I heard Glory it brought tears to my eyes, I almost broke down. I was going through a really rough time in my life and that song helped me through it. Not only did it help me through it but it inspired me to become a better person. It made me decide to be a more active human being. It made me drop listening to ear candy and develop a taste for food for thought. It made me open my eyes and realize that we are in a simulated reality controlled by our government. Any time I'm feeling down I listen to that song and it brings me right back up to myself. It still remains my favorite song to this day. I made countless friends sit down and listen to it while reading the lyrics in hopes that they would feel the same way as me. Through all of it though, it helped me realize that when you are intelligent and enlightened that all you want to do is spread that same feeling of peace, love, & understanding, but sadly, you can show people water, but can't make them drink it. It even inspired me to become an artist myself, and I know one day Lu and I will work together, but until that day...I'm going to respect the position I play, never letting my heart reflect the conditions in which I stay.
Hip Hop Saved My Life because it shows us where he came from and it was the first song i ever heard by Lupe Fiasco
I gota go with 'All Black Everything' (off Lasers...how fitting) because it takes a very brave man to put racism in it's place like that and one of the main themes of the album is not letting fear control us. It pays homage to what Lupe is all about. Awesome track, off an awesome album. Twig
I'm Beamin' is absolutely genius. The very epitome of lyricism; the amount of clever word-play, puns and double/triple-entendres have made it a remarkable track.
Muhammad Walks- Its my favorite songs because im muslim and your talking about the real life events muslims go through and stating who they really are and what they live for. Also the lyrics are genius and just goes together, overall amazing song
Although his best song is probably Daydreaming, I'm gonna choose my favorite as Failure. It is the epitome of a misnomer. It is so lyrically loaded that each time I try to decipher it, I find new meanings and allusions. The lack of a top-tier chorus (see: All Black Everything, Fighters, Hip-Hop Saved My Life, etc.) is overshadowed by its impeccable lyrical content. It is the reason I began to realize that Lupe is in the Top 3 of all time. If only there were more rappers like Lupe, then we (being the average audience) might be able to see that "rappers" like Wacka Flocka, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Soulja Boy (the list goes on...) are completely ruining the hip-hop industry. Props to Lupe on my favorite, Failure. I cannot wait for TGARA.
Favorite songs right now are: American Terrorist, He Say She Say, Kick Push 2, Little Weapon, Words I Never Said and Hip Hop Saved My Life. Out of the titles I listed if I had to choose I would say American Terrorist is my #1 favorite because the hook is compelling and draws you in and the lyrics of the entire song are so on point. I feel like more people need to really listen to this song because it is so relevant in our society today so we don't end up making the same mistakes.
also I'm 100% positive that if you just sold posters, you would make bank. Why does nowhere carry them?
definitly never forget you because it gets me through my toughest days and it makes me think of all the important people in my life that have died and how they still are in my life
"all black everyting" this song speaks so much on how things could of been or still could be if we could just change our way of living nd change he says the way things couldve been years ago and him pointing it out just makes us realize how our society couldve ben different nd how we could make it different...plz send me one im a big fan
"Never Forget You" Ft. John Legend. This song just exudes brilliance. John Legend + Lupe's lyrical talents equals a timeless Masterpiece. It's these kinds of songs that will last through the ages because it's so genuine. It relates to everyone of where they came from and to never forget it and take it for granted. This song is just pure genius and I'll never get tired of listening to it.
the show goes on - i mainly like this track because it's the most fun song to listen and rap/sing along to. it's the most upbeat song, so when i need something to bring my mood up, i listen to this song. what i do like about the other songs on the album are the true meanings behind the lyrics. hardly anyone is brave enough to incorporate serious issues of the world into their songs. i would say 90% of the rappers these days rap about the same tiring, materialistic things. lupe fiasco is his own unique artist because he chooses to rap in ways to make people aware of the real issues. critics say he's too negative, but somebody needs to open our eyes to the corruptness of this world. he's only being honest, and that's what i most admire about him.
To say I just have one favorite song I'd be lying. To me da whole Food & Liquor album is made up of dope songs which makes it my favorite Lupe album, but if I have to choose my favorite song on that album it would have to be "Sunshine". When ever I have a bad day I just play that over and over and I feel good. Even when I was pregnant I would put my headphones on my tummy and I could feel my baby move like if she was dancing inside of me. Maybe that's why she's a big Lupe fan she sings his songs and makes me repeat his cd over and over ;)
My favorite Lupe fiasco song ...i have so many lol i hate to narrow it down to just one but....if i had 2 chose one it would prolly be "American terrorist" . Its one of those songs that makes you want to open your ears up and listen 2 what this man is saying. "Now if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on the bus with the seconds running give you the jitters Just imagine An American -based Christian organization Planning to poison water supplies to bring the second coming quicker" The first time i heard those lines it gave me the chills like wow....hes touching down on ALL topics hes not holding back at all. Thats what i love about Wasulu hes not afraid to say whats on his mind. Hes human and humble enough to care about what some people might think but..hes man enough to say it anyway and deal with the ridicule of the public later. Lupe saved hip hip a long time ago..open ya eyes.
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is "Kick, Push", because it's about a guy who just wants to skateboard. Nothing else, no drugs no violence, just skateboarding. When I listen to the song, it reminds me of ice skating, because I'm an avid hockey player. Lupe, Foreva!

Say she say. Was driving with my brother pretending to look out the window so he wouldn't notice the tears. Turns out he was doing the same. My go-to song. Lu's our guy.
Yo my favorite Lupe Fiasco song would have to be "Daydreamin ft Jill Scott" off the FOOD & LIQUOR album because Lupe expresses great emotion with his verses and the chorus with Jill Scott is majestic. Great album, great song.
MY favorite has to be "Fighters" because I think not only it explains how someone like me and others who are not appreciated for the good but criticized for the lack of negativity. I think this is kind of how Lupe feels in the rap game today also cause everyone wants the truth but no one accepts and wants to hear it. I really, really like the tribute to his family too. I also think that Fighters was like the prelude to the end of his career if LUP END came out instead of Lasers. To me Fighters is also how i feel because you dont know how hard it is to be a big Lupe Fiasco fan in a New Jersey high school lol.
Man there are a lot of good ones, but i'm gonna have to say my favorite is "Kick, Push". I was flipping through the channels after school one day and flipped past the BET channel when I saw a dude skate boarding. I was like what the heck?! So, I went back to the channel and watched the rest of the video. That was the first time that I had ever heard of Lupe Fiasco. I fell in love with song. After watching it I pulled out my little ghetto flip phone and logged onto the T-Mobile store and bought the "Kick, Push" ring tone on my cell phone for $4.99 plus tax. Back then I usually didn't buy ring tones either, because they were expensive as heck! In fact up until that point I had only bought one other one. But none of that mattered because it turned out to be the best $4.99 plus tax that i would ever spend. I must have played that 20 second ring tone like a million times! Shoot but I never got tired of it. Who would have known that just flipping through the channels one day after school would lead me to finding my favorite rapper ever! P.S. - I just saw you perform live in concert this past weekend at the New Orleans Jazz Fest! It was freaking awesome!
Hard to choose a favorite, but the one that hits home the most is "He Say, She Say" because coming up without a father is something I can relate to. Either that or "We On" because that song goes hard, and me and buddy jam to it on the daily haha.
Gotta be Beautiful Lasers (2 ways). Lupe said that on this album there were some songs he loved, some he liked, and some he just had to do. My guess is he just had to do this one. His lyrics are 100% true and genuine. There are literally millions of people who feel the same way. Its an ugly and blunt truth buts its exactly how he felt at one point.
CONFLICT DIAMONDS Part of the problem with this country is the glamorization of ghetto living, things, drugs and violence. This song paints a VIVID picture of what it is really like when drugs and violence rule your life. Blood Diamonds are nothing to mess with, and the children who run around parts of Africa with guns bigger than they are, destroy villages and families are nothing to mess with either. So for anyone out there who thinks they are the biggest gangster in the world because you carry around a pistol in your sock, and you smoke weed daily....YOU'RE NOT!!!! There are kids half you age who do twice the amount of evil you do....and its nothing to be proud of. Be postive part of society...read a book, play a sport, gain knowledge and use it to better our world!

This is cut and pasted from a poster on the 1919 board who was paid a visit:
It would only take "hand tools" to assemble into a weapon, and also didn't have a serial number from the manufacturer. That's what ATF Agent Tommy Ho told me. The fact that I had stamped my own serial number and my name and city onto the plate did not matter to them. If I had bought a "registered" plate, (serial numbered by Halo) there would have been no problem, and they wouldn't have been visiting. Said that it was a semi auto plate, no problem there. Said that if it has been machined to the point that it can be assembled using only hand tools, as opposed to machining it, makes it a receiver. I asked him lots of questions, which he seemed to answer, but he didn't volunteer any information without my asking. I was polite, and so was he and his bodyguard. Fortunately, the plate was not assembled yet, so I'm only out the plate. I was using it to hold down 3 cases of 8mm so they don't roll around in the next earthquake. They do have Halo's records, and I'm in their home town, so that's why they visited me first.
Thats the facts, now the commentary.
My impression was that they want everyone buying through an FFL so they have a record of who has weapons. Home builders skirt this, and I'm sure that ATF feels unfulfilled by not kowing what everyone has. I can't recall the last time that anyone went berserk with a 1919a4 semi (or any registered machine gun either) so they wouldn't seem a high priority item to me. I told Agent Ho that just the week before, my son was at a gas station filling up, and in the garage bay was a car with the trunk open, selling handguns (no 10 day waiting period, the only background check being "How much cash you got, man".) He didn't seem interested at all. Didn't ask what town, what gas station, nothing at all. So now you know.

I understand the concept of not wanting fifty people living in a single family home within a residential neighborhood, but this law bans roommates altogether. Is this another brilliant scheme to revive the housing market? Sounds to me like a great way to create more homeless people in a phony recovery everyone knows doesn't really exist.
From YNN:
WATERTOWN, N.Y. — Lawmakers in Watertown came to a decision that brings more questions than answers. Mainly, can government decide what is and what isn't a family?
By a vote of three to two, Watertown's City Council amended a law Monday night that dictates how many roommates a homeowner can have in a single family home in a residential neighborhood. The law used to allow four. Now, it's zero.

Why unpaid assessments lead to foreclosure
A reader wrote advising that her condominium maintenance fee had increased from $98.00 a month to over $300.00. A senior citizen with a fixed income, she was no longer able to pay that amount and her association is in the process of foreclosing on her unit. She asked what she was supposed to do. My response follows:
I'm very sorry to hear your story and hope you are able to find the help you need. Many are in your position and, although I have no answer for you, I can shed some light on why your association is taking this step.
Let's start with a couple of basic items. Although homeowner's associations and condominiums are different beasts with slightly different rules (Florida Statute 718 governs condominiums and Florida Statute 720 governs HOAs), both statutes allow associations to foreclose on homes that do not pay their maintenance obligation.
A little history. When the condominium concept was first introduced in Florida (1963), units were sold under the banner of "maintenance free" and "care free" living. It was never explained to buyers that the monthly maintenance was not like a 30 year, fixed-rate mortgage, with payments remaining fixed for the full term of the unit ownership. In truth, those expenses inevitably increase over time.
Every buyer of a condominium, co-op or home governed by an owners' association is a co-owner and is liable for his or her share of the common expenses regardless of how high those expenses might be. All properties require repairs and maintenance. Costs of materials go up and huge reconstruction projects, such as those required by 40-year certification in certain counties, can cost millions of dollars. Roofs must be replaced, concrete spalls and driveways need resurfacing. Ultimately, it is the owners who must bear the brunt of these costs, just as if they owned the property by themselves. The difference is, if you own a property alone, you can alone choose to allow that property to decay. In shared ownership communities, the property is managed by an elected board of directors who have a fiduciary duty to maintain the property and they must, therefore, expend funds on a regular basis.
The association has this legal duty to maintain the common elements– making all necessary repairs, paying for security, insurance, landscaping, etc. If the association fails to do so, property values drop and everyone loses their investment. So there is a fixed cost inherent in maintaining any community and when some owners do not pay their share of that maintenance responsibility, the other owners must make up the difference to cover those costs. This usually ends up resulting in higher overall assessment amounts or a special assessment to cover the bad debt. It's not as if the community can simply cut broad swaths out of its budget – the majority of budgeted items are fixed costs like insurance, water, electricity, maintenance and the like.
Your story, like that of many other seniors, is heartbreaking, and no one likes the idea of a person being thrown out of their home under any circumstances. But what would happen in communities largely made up of people unable to pay? The entire community would collapse, and would ultimately be shut down as unsafe. Everyone would lose their homes. This is why the statutes are so strong in requiring every owner, no matter the situation, to pay their maintenance into communities with commonly owned property, and allows association to pursue those assessments all the way to foreclosure. While foreclosure is a truly terrible result for the displaced homeowner, it also ensures that a new, financially able owner will take that person's place, ensuring the long-term health of the community.

Even though the name of this new downtown Orlando pub crawl is "The Last Call," it has nothing to do with this blog. But, as a former member of a little group called "Drunken Ghost Hunters," it does seem like my kind of fun.
Last month, the folks at American Ghost Adventures tried out the concept of a haunted pub crawl around downtown Orlando. "The Last Call: Downtown Orlando Haunted Pub Crawl" was a success, so they're bringing it back this month on Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. There will be another on Oct. 15.
The concept is your basic pub crawl, tied in with stories of paranormal activity at the various locations visited and happy hour prices on all "spirits" imbibed along the way. Everyone on the tour is given EMF detectors and Maglites to help with their own investigation of the space.
Locations this month include: Versus, The Attic, NV Lounge, Mojo Cajun Bar and Grille and The Dessert Lady.
The crawl is 21-and-up and it's $20 a person. Go to americanghostadventures.com/pubtour.htm to buy tickets.

Comments about GAMO Whisper G2 Air Rifle:
To noisy with 4 gr pellets, breaks the sound barrier at over 1127 fps. Slow it down with the 10 gr. and it is much quieter, no pop. I like the fiber optic sights. I haven't tried the scope yet, not a big fan of scopes on pellet guns.

Hopefully he will because we have to leave it all on the floor now to end this freaking streak...
Tim Thomas is out with his sprained ankle but Marbury who didn't played friday is expected to return
Hopefully he will because we have to leave it all on the floor now to end this freaking streak...
Yeah this is embarassing. Show MSG you have some pride!
...some pride for your team, for the city that you represent and some selfrespect...
Good win. Ariza looks great, penny was good, etc..
Definately a strong win. We were alot more intense on the D.
Penny, Crawford, Steph and Ariza looked especially sharp. Sweets had some nice
moves, but couldn't finish a few times. Junkyard Dog looked good too. Nazr looked
strong, he didn't score much, but he was active going for loose balls and getting rebounds.
how'd did everyone like ariza's dunk in the 4th... (when he drove baseline around bradley) good win though, hopefully we keep it up... any word on how long tim thomas is out for?
Pics from the win
I would have posted more but yahoo is damn slow

ZF-8317: Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu renderSiblings()
At the moment Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu view has some shortcomings.
First of all, if you want to only render active branch, with setRenderParents(true), you can't render eg. ->minDepth(1), if the last active depth is 0; it won't find the corresponding branch to be active. This was fixed for _renderDeepestMenu couple of versions ago, but the problem still persists for _renderMenu:
if ($found = $this->findActive($container, $minDepth, $maxDepth)) {
The $minDepth should be $minDepth - 1 for this line, like it is in _renderDeepestMenu.
Aside from this minor bug, there's also another shortcoming with the view helper. Namely you can't render a menu such that the siblings of the active branch are also rendered. Right now you can only render the siblings of the deepest active branch.
For an example of such menu, take a look here: http://mil.fi/rauhanturvaaja/perustiedot/… It prints the active branch, but also all siblings of its parents.
I've added a new method to the view helper, called renderSiblings() (default by false to keep things backward compatible), that lets you do just this.
I know there's a similar suggestion posted here earlier (http://www.zendframework.com/issues/browse/ZF-6941), but there are some problems with it:
- It only checks the siblings of the deepest active branch's parent, this won't work if you render more than two depths of menu.
- I think the name "expandBranch" is misleading and unclear. We already have renderParents(), so I think renderSiblings() is the appropriate name for this.
Included is the patch with the changes in the view helper, unit tests and documentation. Hopefully you'll consider adding it!
Any updates on this?
I think, you can use:

It was opening day at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck. The eyes of the world were focused on the men's downhill on the icy slope of Patscherkofel where Austrian farm boy Franz Klammer would steal the show with an electrifying win over Swiss favorite Bernhard Russi.
Nearby, in the quiet mountain village of Seefeld, American ski history would be written on the cross-country trails. Nearly 38 years later, the success of a young U.S. skier still resonates around his sport as the only cross-country Olympic medal won by an American - something Kikkan Randall hopes to change in Sochi.
There were no expectations that day in Seefeld when an unheralded 20-year-old Vermonter, Bill Koch, won silver in the men's 30K. No one expected that to happen on the trails of Seefeld - except Koch.
The timing for "Kochie" and American cross country was perfect. The fitness boom that swept America in the early '70s created a renaissance for cross-country skiing devotees. Sweeping changes in equipment - from wooden skis with leather bindings to fiberglass skis and click-in boots - were creating a boom in the sport that for years had been in the shadow of alpine skiing.
Cross-country skiing was still a sport where athletes went out one by one into the woods at 30 second intervals, racing against themselves with coaches calculating times off other racers.
To be clear, Koch wasn't a complete unknown. Two years earlier he had won bronze in the European Junior Championships.
Coaches along the Olympic track in 1976 were stunned as they looked at their watches, measuring the splits on the American who had started seventh. With his early start, he came into the stadium as the leader and watched as, one by one, no one matched his time until Soviet Sergei Saveliev finally took the gold, bumping Koch to silver. He added another top-10 finish in the 15K later in the Games.
Some called it one of the most significant accomplishments in Olympic history. For legions of health-driven cross-country enthusiasts on trails across America, it galvanized the growing movement that was sweeping the snow belt. Bill Koch became a hero for generations of young cross-country skiers.
He went on to revolutionize the sport, taking advantage of the new skating technique some years later, winning the season-long World Cup title in 1982 and becoming the first non-European to win a World Championship cross-country medal. The Bill Koch Youth Ski League - which still exists today - has introduced tens of thousands of boys and girls to the sport.
Koch came out of retirement to qualify for the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, and was selected flag bearer for the U.S. Olympic Team. While he stays out of the public spotlight today, he's still an ardent fan of the sport he popularized with his historic silver medal on the trails of Seefeld.
One of the most experienced communications professionals in skiing, Tom Kelly is a veteran of eight Olympics and serves as vice president, Communications, for the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. A Wisconsin native, he and his wife Carole Duh have lived in Park City since 1988 when he's not traveling the world with the team.

1 biggun My friend has a wire feed he does not feel comfortable welding the thin metal of the blank and I do not blame him. If it worked ten years ago using rivets than what do you care? I asked if any one did it and folks do. It is not taking the easy way out it is doing it with our worrying about messing up the blank. I did not buy the jigs my friend did and if he wants to build them this way who am I to argue he has the most money in it and he is helping me build the gun. You like welding an can do it fine. I have welded before so I know what it involves. I also know some times welding thin metal can really be a pain. I think as does my friends the rivets are the safe way to go and it is our projects as long as we are happy with the results that is what matters. I thank the other folks that are going or went the rivet route.
OK you do not need the jigs from what I have read it has helped a lot of folks do it right the first time with our messing up the holes with templates that may have not been right. We gave it some thought and felt that would be the best route to go. If you do not use them fine does not mean that it is not a good decision or that rivets do not work.
Thank you for your input

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoosmum Beautiful Color I was able to buy these drapes on sale. They are lined, made well, and there was no smell when I took them out of the plastic bags. Another plus is the drapes are washable. The teal color is rich and lovely. I am pleased with the quality and construction, and would buy them again. September 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Stitches They are beautiful curtains My big problem with them is that they smell like mold. From the second I took them out of the plastic wrapper my house has stunk! I can't get the smell off of them... Argh...... They look great but smell horrible!! They were not cheap, I am very dissapointed that they smell so bad because I love the way they look. September 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by decor8er Not the same color at all I was searching for a bright teal turquoise color curtain for my dining room. These look amazing in the photos online. I am an artists and art teacher so I know my colors. What arrived is a completely different color all together. The fabric is thin and the color is a smokey muted teal. We looked at the photos from a few different computers and they all show the bright teal. I sure wish these were the same as the ones pictured. If you want dull almost denim blue thin over priced curtains then these are for you. It's almost as if they photoshopped the photo and increased the saturation. October 17, 2014

ZF-4622: Zend_View_Abstract::_addPath() strips double-slash from protocol
This code is run on the path in Zend_View_Abstract::_addPath(): {{$dir = rtrim($dir, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;}}
This should be removed/improved because it prevents you from using custom stream wrappers. For example, I have implemented a few custom wrappers to work with a different template engine. Instead of hacking everything to work from non-filesystem sources, I just created some stream wrappers to do it behind the scenes. I register the protocol 'tpl', and then set the script path to 'tpl://' (i.e., to load a 'tpl://emaple.html' template). But the code above strips off the extra slash so ZF tries to load 'tpl:/example.html' which is incorrect.
Furthermore, the _addPath method is private so I can't override it in a subclass.
For now what I've been doing to work around the problem is to set the script path to 'tpl://null/' to stop the rtrim from stripping the double slash from the protocol part.
Is this still an issue?
No. The unit test for ZF-9000 shows that this issue no longer exists:
* @group ZF-9000
public function testAddingStreamSchemeAsScriptPathShouldNotReverseSlashesOnWindows()
if (false === strstr(strtolower(PHP_OS), 'windows')) {
$this->markTestSkipped('Windows-only test');
$view = new Zend_View();
$path = rtrim('file://' . str_replace('\\', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))), '/') . '/';
$paths = $view->getScriptPaths();
$this->assertContains($path, $paths, var_export($paths, 1));
It successfully adds a view path using the file:// scheme. This unit test should be generalized for all platforms.
Added adapted unit test to trunk r24076 * Renamed test to: testAddingStreamSchemeAsScriptPathShouldNotMangleThePath * Removed Windows-only constraint
Merged updated unit test to release-1.11 in r24127

I've to admit, this is pretty much the first time I read a Dolan's interview... and well, he sounds confident, like he knows what he's doing. And to his credit, right now he's more feet to the ground than most posters on this board who've been in panic mode since the second game of the season.Originally Posted by NY PostYou see him plenty. He is an active owner, he attends games, he lives and dies with his teams the way you do and because he�s the man who signs the checks, his opinions occasionally become mandates, and sometimes controversies. You know James Dolan is in the arena, in both the literal and the literary sense.
You rarely hear him. On occasion, he offers brief remarks at press conferences. You can hear him sing, if you catch his band at a club. But it had been seven years since he sat down for an on-the-record interview about the Knicks and Rangers. He agreed to meet with The Post this week, inside a Madison Level suite at the Garden.
MV: I�m sure you heard the chants that have already started to fire Mike Woodson, which comes with the territory, naturally �
JD: Yeah �
MV: How patient will you be with him? He understood when he took the job the expectations that go with it. Will you give him a long rope?
JD: I have a lot of confidence in Woodson, and one thing I can say about Mike is he has the respect of all the players. They all respect him. And he treats them fairly and relatively equally, and that�s part of where the respect emanates from. And those are hard things to get from a coach. When a coach loses a team � that�s when a coach is kind of done.
Mostly, I think it does not pay to be impatient, because you destabilize your team. It�s not like the players don�t want to win, it�s not like the owner doesn�t want to win; everybody wants to win, so it�s a question of: Can you get there? With Mike, I think he can get us there. Mostly, I think Carmelo [Anthony] can get us there, and the other players can get us there, they�re going to have to jell and I think Mike can do a lot to get that to happen. Because he has their respect.
MV: The Knicks started 18-5 last year and it didn�t end the way you wanted it to; at this point I assume you�d flip that script?
JD: You know what? I wouldn�t take last year�s team for this year�s team, because this year�s team is more designed to be a playoff team, whereas last year�s team was 18-5 but look who was playing: we had Rasheed Wallace who was doing everything for us, right? And we just started losing player after player � by the time we got to the playoffs that 18-5 team wasn�t the team that was playing in the playoffs. If they were I think we would�ve beaten Indiana.
MV: So this bad start �
JD: It�s going right according to plan (laughs) �
MV: A few days before training camp you changed general managers; why do that so close to the start of camp? Did something change from the start of summer to the end?
JD: I didn�t time it, per se, like that. I�m surprised other folks were surprised about this. The general manager�s work doesn�t really occur at that time of year. If you�re going to change general managers that�s probably the right time to do it. The next available trade date is Dec. 15. You�ve just finished free agency and all that. It�s a lull period. The timing didn�t really have much to do with that. It was more about an initiative I have going on with both teams that I hired McKinsey & Company [a Manhattan-based global management consulting firm] for, because as I�ve gotten to look at both our organizations, it�s become apparent that we really need to reprocess both teams. We were using a lot of � not old, but �classic� methods and now with technology, and what�s available to a team to help improve, I didn�t think we were taking advantage of those things.
MV: So in evaluating these business solutions you came to the conclusion Glen Grunwald was lacking and Steve Mills a better fit?
JD: I hired McKinsey in the summer, and Glen is more of a �classic� GM, and he just wasn�t the guy to lead this initiative for the team, and it had to be someone in that position who could do it because I wasn�t going to do it. It needed someone behind it, someone who understood it, and that just wasn�t Glen�s forte. I think he was a good general manager, he�s got a great eye for talent, he knows basketball well, but the job description changed.
MV: If you could take a mulligan on the $100 million Amar�e contract�
JD: Nope.
MV: Because the first year was that important?
JD: We would not be where we are today without Amar�e. That summer, the summer of �The Decision,� there were a whole bunch of free agents, and the guys put their thing together in Miami, and Amar�e agreed to come to the Knicks, gave us a launch pad by which we could convince the other guys like Tyson [Chandler] to come, and ultimately Carmelo to come play with us. Do I think Carmelo would have come if we didn�t have Amar�e? No, I don�t think he would�ve. These free agents, when you get to this level of player � the Carmelos, the LeBrons, the Durants � the first thing they want before the money or anything else is to be on a winning team. They�ve got to believe they have a shot.
MV: So does it sadden you to watch him in a diminished state?
JD: I still have hope. You cannot ask for a guy to be more dedicated, more disciplined, than Amar�e. He does his rehab, he does his workouts, he does everything, he�s on it every day, and that�s worth a lot, too. If there�s justice in this world, his knee will heal up to the point where he can play more minutes and make the contribution he wants to make.

I don't like how they've printed the team name. Our unis are much better!
the shorts are ok but the overall uniform anit great.
Their shorts remind me of Portland unis. But Blazers' ones are hot and these are not even OK...
i dont care what they look like that team is not going to be a threat for at least 3 or 4 years
Well, we were discussing their new unis, not their future poor perfomance...
lol truu i dont liek em rtha damn y have all the new uniforms so u ugly liek the magic 1s old 1s way where way betta, hopefully knicks dont get a new 1
They're not that bad. The color scheme is decent. I don't like the font on the letters and numbers. Too skinny or something?? I like when the team names curve (i.e. Pistons, Knicks). The shorts aren't bad, I like the alternate logo on them. They sorta remind me of the Raptors uni's

General Information
- Which graduate and business school institutions accept GRE® scores?
- See the complete list of institutions using GRE scores and their official ETS code number.
- Which MBA programs accept GRE scores?
- Business schools worldwide accept GRE scores for their MBA, specialized master's and other doctoral business programs, including many top-ranked programs. View the most current list of business schools accepting GRE scores for MBA admissions.
- What is the price of the test?
- How can business schools compare applicants who have submitted GRE scores with applicants who have submitted GMAT® scores?
We have developed the GRE Comparison Tool to allow business schools to place GRE scores in the context of GMAT® scores. Business schools can input GRE Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning scores into the GRE Comparison Tool and the Tool will provide estimated GMAT scores.* An enhanced version of the tool was introduced in July 2013. You can access the GRE Comparison Tool to learn more about it.
*The predicted GMAT scores based on an applicant's GRE scores may not be perfectly equivalent to an applicant's actual performance on the GMAT exam due to the measurement error inherent in both tests. For this reason, a predicted score range is reported around each predicted GMAT score.
- Do business schools have a test preference?
According to a recent Kaplan survey, nearly eight out of 10 MBA programs have no test preference. In other words, most MBA programs view GRE and GMAT scores equally.
- Are there other sources information about the test?
You can sign up for free alerts and reminders about registration, test preparation and more at the TakeTheGRE.com website.
You can visit the official GRE revised General Test page on Facebook®. There you can share advice and cheer on other prospective test takers.
The GRE program participates in student fairs in select locations. These fairs provide an opportunity to talk directly with a representative. Check our schedule for upcoming events.
You can also register for one of our FREE webinars to learn more about the test and test preparation tools and chat with a representative. Available in multiple languages and time zones!
- Does ETS offer any services to help match students with graduate and business schools?
Yes. You can add your unique profile to the GRE® Search Service database for free. Graduate and business school recruiters around the world use this database to find prospective students like you. If you match their recruitment profile, you could receive information about their programs, admissions requirements, scholarships and fellowships. It's easy to sign up when you create your My GRE Account. Learn more about GRE Search Service.
- What skills does the test measure?
- The Verbal Reasoning section measures your ability to analyze and draw conclusions from discourse, understand multiple levels of meaning, select important points and understand the meanings of sentences and entire texts.
- The Quantitative Reasoning section measures your ability to interpret and analyze quantitative information and use mathematical skills such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics to solve problems.
- The Analytical Writing section measures your ability to sustain a well-focused, coherent discussion, articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively, support your ideas with relevant examples and examine claims and accompanying evidence.
Learn more about what the GRE revised General Test measures.
- How does the computer-delivered test work?
The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are section-level adaptive, meaning that the first section of the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures spans a range of difficulty levels, from easy to difficult. The first section is assembled such that, overall, the first section is of average difficulty. The difficulty level of the second section of each of the measures depends on your performance on the first section. For example, if for the Quantitative Reasoning measure you do very well on the first section, the second section of the Quantitative Reasoning measure will be at a higher level of difficulty. The scoring for the Quantitative Reasoning measure takes into consideration the total number of questions answered correctly across the two sections, as well as the difficulty level of the section (similar process for the Verbal Reasoning measure).
- What level of math content is included in the test?
The GRE revised General Test uses the foundations of high school math to test quantitative reasoning. The test material measures your ability to understand basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis; to reason quantitatively; and to solve problems in a quantitative setting.
- How does the Analytical Writing section differ from the Writing section of the TOEFL iBT® Test?
The TOEFL iBT Writing Section and GRE Analytical Writing measures are intended to measure different sets of skills. The TOEFL iBT Writing section contains two writing tasks: an independent task asks test takers to support an opinion in writing, and an integrated task that asks test takers to write responses that integrate and organize information from a reading passage and a lecture. These writing tasks are not designed to measure higher levels of critical thinking and analytical writing, but center instead on candidates' composition skills and command of English vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and syntax with some analysis and synthesis of material. Therefore, scores on the two tests are not comparable.
Because the TOEFL® test emphasizes fundamental writing and comprehension skills, the TOEFL score can supplement an Analytical Writing score by helping faculty determine whether a low score on the GRE Analytical Writing measure is due to lack of familiarity with English or lack of ability to produce and analyze logical arguments.

Scoring and Reporting
- How are the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections scored?
Computer-delivered Test:
The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures are section-level adaptive. This means the computer selects the second section of a measure based on the performance on the first section. Within each section, all questions contribute equally to the final score. For each of the two measures, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions answered correctly.
The raw score is converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating. The equating process accounts for minor variations in difficulty among the different test editions as well as differences in difficulty among individuals' tests introduced by the section-level adaptation. Thus a given scaled score of a particular measure reflects the same level of performance regardless of which section was selected and when the test was taken.
Paper-delivered Test:
Scoring of the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the paper-delivered General Test is a two-step process:
- First, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions the test taker answered correctly.
- The raw score is then converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating. Equating accounts for differences in difficulty among the different test editions. Thus, a given scaled score for a particular measure reflects the same level of ability regardless of the edition of the test that was taken.
For more information, see How the Test Is Scored.
- How is the Analytical Writing section scored?
Computer-delivered Test:
For the computer-delivered test, each essay receives a score from at least one trained reader, using a six-point holistic scale. In holistic scoring, readers are trained to assign scores on the basis of the overall quality of an essay in response to the assigned task. The essay score is then scored by e-rater®, a computerized program developed by ETS that is capable of identifying essay features related to writing proficiency. If the human and e-rater scores closely agree, the average of the two scores is used as the final score. If they disagree, a second human score is obtained, and the final score is the average of the two human scores.
The final scores on the two essays are then averaged and rounded to the nearest half-point interval on the 0–6 score scale. A single score is reported for the Analytical Writing measure. The primary emphasis in scoring the Analytical Writing section is on your critical thinking and analytical writing skills rather than on grammar and mechanics.
Paper-delivered Test:
For the paper-delivered test each essay receives a score from two trained readers using a six-point holistic scale. In holistic scoring, readers are trained to assign scores on the basis of the overall quality of an essay in response to the assigned task. If the two scores differ by more than one point on the scale, the discrepancy is adjudicated by a third GRE reader. Otherwise, the two scores on each essay are averaged.
The final scores on the two essays are then averaged and rounded to the nearest half-point interval on the 0–6 score scale. A single score is reported for the Analytical Writing measure. The primary emphasis in scoring the Analytical Writing section is on critical thinking and analytical writing skills rather than on grammar and mechanics.
For more information see How the Test Is Scored.
- Will I see my scores at the test center when I take the computer-delivered test?
After completing the computer-delivered GRE revised General Test, you will be given the opportunity to Report or Cancel your scores. If you choose Report Scores, you will see your unofficial scores for the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures at the test center. Because of the Analytical Writing essay scoring process, you will not be able to view your Analytical Writing score at the testing center.
Although you have the option to cancel your scores, consider very carefully before doing so because the score reporting choices available with the ScoreSelect® option allow you to report only the scores you feel reflect your personal best. If you cancel your scores, neither you nor any schools will ever see them and they will not be part of your reportable history. If you select to report your scores, you will view your unofficial scores on the screen and the score will become a part of your reportable history.
Your official scores will be available in your My GRE Account and sent to your score recipients approximately 10–15 days after your test date.
- What scores are reported?
Three scores are reported on the GRE revised General Test:
- A Verbal Reasoning score is reported on a 130–170 score scale, in 1-point increments.
- A Quantitative Reasoning score is reported on a 130–170 score scale, in 1-point increments.
- An Analytical Writing score is reported on a 0–6 score level, in half-point increments.
- How do I send my scores to an institution?
Your test fee entitles you to request that scores be sent to as many as four graduate institutions or fellowship sponsors at no additional cost.
- For the computer-delivered GRE revised General Test, you will be asked to designate your score recipients at the test center or you can choose not to report your scores at that time.
- For the paper-delivered GRE revised General Test, you will be asked to designate your score recipients during registration or on your admission ticket correction stub, or you can choose not to report your scores at that time.
With the ScoreSelect option, you can decide which test scores to send to the institutions you designate, so you can send the scores you feel show your personal best. See Sending your Scores.
You can also send score reports to institutions after test day for a fee. See Ordering Additional Score Reports.
- When will my official scores be reported after testing?
If you take the computer-delivered GRE revised General Test, your official scores will be available in your My GRE account and sent to the institutions you designated approximately 10–15 days after your test date.
If you take the paper-delivered test, your official scores will be available in your My GRE account and sent to the institutions you designated within six weeks after your test date.
- Can I view my scores online?
Yes. Once your official scores are reported, you will receive an email from ETS indicating you can view your scores online free of charge through your My GRE Account. See Getting Your Scores for more information.
- How can I get an official Examinee Score Report?
If you wish to have a paper copy of your official Examinee Score Report, you may use the print functionality in your My GRE Account to print a copy of your official score report. For more information, see Getting Your Scores.
If you would like ETS to send you a copy of your official Examinee Score Report, submit an Additional Score Report Request form and US$27 fee to receive a copy. For more information, see Ordering Additional Score Reports.
- How will institutions compare scores on the GRE General Test administered prior to August 2011 with scores on the GRE revised General Test?
Since GRE scores are valid for five years, it is likely that schools will receive score reports from applicants who took the current test, the prior test or both. The GRE program provides institutions with concordance information to help compare scores from the prior score scales (200–800) to the current score scales (130–170). For individuals who tested prior to August 1, 2011, concordance information is included on score reports issued in November 2011 and beyond.
- I received an 800 on the Quantitative Reasoning section of the prior GRE General Test, but an 800 only concords to a 166 on the current Quantitative Reasoning score scale. Why is that?
One of the benefits of changing to the current 130–170 score scale was to get better use of the entire score scale range. For example, with the prior 200–800 score scale, test takers who scored 800 on the Quantitative Reasoning measure were bunched at the top of the scale with a percentile rank of 94. With the current 130–170 score scale, high ability candidates will be spread across multiple points at the upper end for more differentiation. So, a 166 on the current score scale represents a percentile rank of 94, but we can now distinguish candidates' performance at score points above a percentile rank of 94.
We are advising institutions that they should use broader criteria when evaluating applicants during this transition period. For applicants who received Quantitative Reasoning scores of 800 on the prior GRE General Test, in particular, we are recommending that institutions use special care in evaluating those applicants because they earned the highest score possible on that measure of the prior test.
Keep in mind that concorded scores are estimates and are not necessarily the scores test takers would receive if they were to take the GRE revised General Test. Any individual who took the prior GRE General Test who wishes to have his or her actual scores reported on the current 130–170 scale may choose to take the GRE revised General Test at any time.
- The concordance tables do not include all of the scores on the current 130–170 score scales. Why?
The concordance tables provide information about the scores on the prior 200–800 score scales, the current 130–170 score scales and the corresponding percentile ranks. Only those scores on the current scales that have a corresponding score on the prior scale are included in the tables.
- How long are GRE scores valid?
GRE scores are valid for five years after the testing year in which you tested (July 1–June 30). Currently, scores earned from July 1, 2010, to the present are available.
- How do I order additional score reports?
There are three easy ways to order ASRs: online, by mail or by fax. See Ordering Additional Score Reports for more information on fees and options.
