Researchers from the Urban Displacement project, a joint UCLA and UC Berkeley effort, recently released a gentrification map of Los Angeles.
They examined the city from 1990 to 2000 and up to 2015, focusing on neighborhoods near transit stops. The goal was to see if these areas saw higher rents and more displacement than other areas.
The answer? Yes — with some exceptions. — scpr.org

Lawrence Wittner: The GOP platform will have plenty of rhetoric about freedom and limited government. But the party's actual policies will reflect a very different agenda.

I was going to include this Apple Cider Caramels recipe in last weekend's baking post but I didn't get a chance to take photos. And good thing I rushed to take these today because they were being gobbled up preeeet…ty fast.
I usually make Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Toffee as holiday gifts. But I wanted to try something different this year for an edible gift. And being that there's apple cider (fruit) in them, if by a remote chance that some don't end up actually leaving this house, I won't feel as guilty gobbling them up.
Making caramels can be tricky, I won't lie. But after you make a couple of batches, you'll get the hang of it and you'll love giving them as gifts. The recipient will think you are a gourmet chef and longingly wait for your sweet indulgence annually.
Caramel Making Tips
The most important thing to remember about making caramels (or any candies) is to buy a good candy thermometer (even the good ones are very inexpensive but make sure to buy one that you can easily read and has small increments of degrees.) Also use a heavy pot that is bigger than the liquid portion of the recipe. It's always best to have some maneuvering room inside the pot with the thermometer standing guard while your spoon is stirring. Make sure you don't leave the stove area – this is not the time to catch up on your book "War and Peace" or on how the Kardashians are doing after the divorce. If you blink, you'll want to divorce the caramels for making a fool out of you.
Organic Apple Cider Caramels
Adapted from Our Best Bites
- 2 c. organic apple cider – from a local farm is even better.
- 1 c. organic heavy whipping cream, divided into 2/3 C and 1/3 C
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. allspice
- 1 1/2 c. organic sugar
- 1/3 c. light organic corn syrup
- 1 stick (1/2 c.) organic butter, cubed
You'll need:
- Medium saucepan
- 8″x8″ Glass pan
- Small Bowl
- Large heavy saucepan
- Parchment Paper
- Baking spray
- Candy Thermometer
- Oven Mitts
- Pour cider into a medium saucepan and boil on high for about 20 minutes or until the cider is reduced to 1/3 c. It might sputter so put a lid on it until it's reduces quite a bit. You will have to keep a heat resistant measuring cup nearby so you can pour it out to measure. I had to do this like four times! The reduced syrupy cider will boil down fast so keep an eye on it. When you have about 1/3 C, take the pan off the stove and set aside to cool.
- Line an 8″ square glass pan with parchment paper with about 1-2″ overhang for easy removal. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 2/3 C cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and reduced apple cider. Set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/3 c. whipping cream and enough water to reach the 1/2 c. line on the measuring cup, and corn syrup. Insert the candy thermometer and simmer in low heat until the syrup reaches 234 degrees.
- Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the cream mixture. Add the cubed butter and return the pan to heat and re-insert the candy thermometer. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature reaches 248 degrees. This will take about 15 minutes but it will get bubbly. Watch the thermometer as it gets close to 248 degrees as the hot caramel can surpass that temperature very quickly, making the caramel to get too hard. So keep a close watch on it.
- When the temperature reaches 248 degrees, remove the pan from heat and pour the caramel into the prepared pan.
- Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Cut the caramels into desired size – about 1/2″ squares – and wrap each caramel in wax paper. Store in an airtight container to give as a gift or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

So the Stanley Cup has been carried off, the draft has been concluded, and the NHL's general managers have gone on their big free-agent spending spree. But while the league may be settling down for the relative quiet of the offseason, there are still issues facing it.
The NHL still has to put the finishing touches on realignment, the ownership situation in Phoenix, the possibility of Olympic participation and much more.
Here is a look at the biggest issues facing the NHL this summer. Feel free to comment on these and to mention any issues you feel I omitted that are facing the league and must be addressed before teams report to training camp again in September.

This was a great stay. The apartment is very nice, clean, well equipped and very close to public transport, especially Pasing Bahnhof with S-Bahn and long distance trains is within a 10 minute walk (or 3 min tram ride). Shops for daily needs are within a 5 min walk and the Pasing Arcaden at Pasing Bahnhof offer great shopping opportunities in a modern mall setting. Plenty of restaurants in Pasing, too. Sebastian has been a great host; very flexible and very responsive. I would recommend the apartment highly and would want to stay there again should the opportunity arise.

Up over 10% in the last week.
PAAS isnt even tracking thie price of its own commodity.
It has to be time for a bid soon, as this valation is just nuts.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Takeover bid is unlikely. Firstly, PAAS is too big (acquiring company should be in major category). Secondly, PAAS is too specialized (some mines do not present interest for a PM major company). Thirdly, PAAS management doesn't show signs of tiredness (CEO is very young). Finally, PAAS doesn't present overwhelmingly undervalued case (it is undervalued if/when operating problems are resolved).
On the other hand, I strongly agree with your point about commodity price. It is very positive (strong increase in silver price) and it will be inevitably reflected in stock price. It takes time and some patience and some management actions.
Hmm im not sure about PAAS not being a takeover target. Its not that big!
Say at $35 an oz in 13, it should make $2 EPS, at a conservative 20 P/E you will get a sp of $40.
Then you have the half a billion in cash,. So in my opinion its a good play.
What I think is most important is that i am almsst certain they will hit their top line and their eps for the 4th quarter, which will be 3 straight quarters of EPS growth.Giving the MGMT a serious shot in the arm of credibility.
Barring a massive collapse in the price of silver (which I cannot see happening, fiscal cliff, china turnaound), we should be looking at $30 a share by Jan 15th 2013
I am closlyl watching the BIG resistance point in silver at $35.We are currently under $2 away from this. if it goes through this resistance point, we are up up and away to $40 and PAAS will go nuts.

Currently...all is quiet as the upper low over NE WY marches steadily to the east. The trough axis to the south of the low will cross I-25 this afternoon and will be east of our area by Sun morning. The southern end of the trough is then expected to cut off over S AZ/N Mexico...but will be too far south of us to affect our area. Light snow showers over the Central Mountains will continue through this evening, especially over the Sawatch and Mosquito Ranges north of Hgwy 50. But no widespread accums are expected. Will also leave some low/isold POPs over Teller County...but any precip there should be minimal overnight. Main Wx story will be a cold front that is expected to cross the Palmer Dvd late this afternoon or early evening. Winds behind the front could be a bit gusty from the N to NE this evening, but will gradually die down overnight. H7 temps behind the front will drop to around 2 deg C over the Plains. This will result in a chilly morning...with temps in the 30s and 40s across the CWA. Winds will prevent temps from dropping too low. The San Luis Valley may get below freezing...but after a widespread hard freeze last night no headline will be issued tonight. Persons with sensitive plants should be aware of the potential for sub-freezing temps and keep plants protected. The cold front will also result in a cool but pleasant day across our area, with temps topping out around 70 degrees over the lower Arkansas Region, and 50s-60s for the high valleys. With dry air behind the front and increasing NVA, POPs will be low so will keep POPs silent over even the mts Sun afternoon.

This wl keep the weather dry acrs the forecast area. On Mon, high temps should be around average and are expected to warm to above average for Tue. Wed the upper level ridge is forecast to shift eastward over the plains states, while that upr low moves north into NV. This wl bring an increase in mstr and chances for pcpn to the Continental Divide. Temps on Wed should again be above average. The GFS shows the upr low ovr NV becoming an open wave Wed night and then moving into western CO by Thu morning, and then acrs the state thru the day. This wl bring chances for pcpn to all the mtns and high valleys Thu, with isold to sct pcpn spreading to the eastern CO plains in the late afternoon or early evening hours. Some pcpn wl likely linger into the late night hours acrs the far southeastern plains. The ECMWF is a little slower moving this disturbance acrs the state and therefore pcpn timing is a bit different from the GFS. The ECMWF still has the disturbance ovr CO on Fri with chances for pcpn acrs the forecast area.

No matter your ability level, a comfortable boot is an absolute necessity. Nothing ruins a good powder day faster than cold or painful feet, and ill-fitting boots also run the risk of not properly transferring energy to your skis and thereby harming your performance. Amid this doom and gloom, however, is the welcome news that ski boots have never been more foot-friendly than they are today. Most new boots have customizable liners and some even come with heat-customizable shells. Below are our picks for the best downhill ski boots of 2016, ranked from our favorite performance options down to a couple quality beginner choices. For more background on downhill ski boots, see our buying advice below the picks.
1. Lange RX 130 ($700)
Last: 97 or 100 mm (narrow or medium width)
Flex: 130 (advanced skiers)
What we like: Successful all-mountain adaptation of a downhill racing boot.
What we don't: Steep price tag.
Women's version: Lange RX 110
Dating all the way back to its origins in the 1940s, Lange has been an innovator in ski boot design. Among their "firsts" is the first women's specific ski boot and the first incorporation of metal buckles into a plastic boot. For the 2015-2016 season, Lange has released a stellar follow up to the all-mountain RX line. Inspired by their race-bred RS boots, which is evident in the burly 4 buckles and cam locking power strap, the RX is a supremely aggressive boot that responds precisely to small inputs. It's a boot that will make demanding skiers quite happy, from former racers to teenage wunderkinds and everything in between. The RX adds all-mountain flair to all of this downhill performance with a decent hike mode and swappable soles. It's the full meal deal for those that can afford the $700 price tag.
See the Lange RX 130
2. Tecnica Mach 1 120 ($600)
Last: 98 or 100mm (narrow to medium width)
Flex: 120 (advanced skiers)
What we like: Top-end fit customization and comfort.
What we don't: Doesn't connect you as well to the skis as the Lange.
Women's version: Tecnica Mach 1 95 W
A lot of brands tout fit customization as a key feature of their boots, but few go as far as Tecnica. Their Mach 1 boots are a great case in point. Built to match the anatomical shape of your foot better than anything else on the market, you get a highly customizable liner and shell that can be punched, grinded and all-around manipulated by a bootfitter. The rest of the boot is no slouch either, with a natural stance and excellent power transfer in either the 130 or 120 stiffness models that falls only a little short of our favorite, the Lange RX above. And as a reflection of a greater market emphasis on medium volume boots, the Mach 1 120 is offered in either a medium width (100mm last) or low volume (98mm).
See the Tecnica Mach 1
3. Salomon X Pro 100 ($500)
Last: 100 mm (medium width)
Flex: 100 (intermediate/advanced skiers)
What we like: Awesome heat moldable shell.
What we don't: Those that require maximum stiffness should look elsewhere.
Women's version: Salomon X Pro 80 W
There have been a number of recent innovations in ski boot design, but outside of advances in safety, a heat moldable shell tops the list for us. It delivers 90% of the fit and comfort that used to require a big money bootfitter, and all that's needed is a ski shop with an oven. The highly customizable shell found in Salomon's X Pro 100 is one of our favorites. Referred to as a 360-degree custom boot, the X Pro can be manipulated in all directions around the foot. The boot itself has a downhill focus and has been lauded for its support and smooth forward flex. Advanced or powerful downhillers may want to look into the upgraded 120 or 130 flex models, but we think the mid-range X Pro 100 is a great choice for advancing intermediate skiers that spend more of their time carving the groomers.
See the Salomon X Pro
4. Tecnica Cochise 90 ($400)
Last: 100 mm (medium width)
Flex: 90 (intermediate skiers)
What we like: Great range of motion.
What we don't: No 4th buckle for maximum hold.
Women's version: Tecnica Cochise 85
Prized by bootfitters for being both comfortable and customizable, the Tecnica Cochise is a great value at under $500. A medium-stiff boot with a flex rating of 90, it's designed to be used both in-bounds and the backcountry. Indeed, the Cochise has a walk/tour mode and comes with both standard alpine soles and swappable tech binding soles. A beefy powerstrap functions as the fourth buckle up top, a feature intended for added mobility when touring. Sacrificing the top buckle means top-end power transfer suffers when bombing down the hill, but for intermediate skiers that will appreciate the added mobility, the Cochise is light, fun and versatile.
See the Tecnica Cochise
5. Dalbello Panterra 130 I.D. ($600)
Last: 100-102 mm (variable fit and medium width)
Flex: 130 (advanced skiers)
What we like: Supremely supportive with a comfy liner.
What we don't: Fit technology isn't a universal fix.
Women's version: Dalbello Kyra 95 I.D.
A great boot for skiers that cover all of the mountain, the Panterra is made with a slick 3-piece shell. The lower portion is super stiff for superior power transfer and a slightly more forgiving upper flexes smoothly when you tuck it and go. The upgraded I.D. liners are a real treat: comfortable, light and resistant to packing out, they land in that ideal space of warmth and support. Should you not have the option or not want to spring for a bootfitter, the liner and shell are designed to give a custom fit without any of the after-the-purchase work. Contour 4 Technology means the low-volume performance liner is given a little extra breathing space between liner and shell around the toes, and heel and bend in the foot and ankle. The result for most folks with normal sized feet is a snug fit that doesn't pinch at the usual pain points. And at $600, it undercuts some of the competition quite nicely.
See the Dalbello Panterra
6. Atomic Hawx 120 ($600)
Last: 100 mm (medium width)
Flex: 120 (advanced skiers)
What we like: High volume fit for performance-oriented skiers.
What we don't: Logically is limiting for narrow feet.
Women's version: Atomic Hawx 90
Proudly declaring the Hawx the most popular ski boot for medium-width feet, the Atomic Hawx 2.0 is a successful encore to the original. The big deal with this boot is the high volume fit that dishes out serious performance. It does the little things nicely with an adjustable forward lean that can be tailored to your angle preferences, a strong 4-buckle design, and replaceable soles should you take a short hike to find that elusive powder stash. Those looking for a regular fit boot may be better served with the Dalbello or Lange above, but if you're a hardcharger that just can't find a boot that keeps the blood flowing to every toe, the Hawx 2.0 may well be your ticket to comfort.
See the Atomic Hawx
7. Atomic Waymaker Carbon 100 ($500)
Last: 101 mm (medium width)
Flex: 100 (intermediate/advanced skiers)
What we like: Strong but lightweight enough for sidecountry use.
What we don't: Not a great fit for narrow feet.
Women's version: Atomic Waymaker Carbon 90
Incorporating advanced materials in an affordable package, the Atomic Waymaker Carbon 100 hits a nice balance for aspiring advanced-level skiers. The Waymaker has a tight heel pocket for those that struggle with heel retention, but is moderately wide in the toebox with a 101mm last. In addition, it has a unique zone of stretchable material built into the shell where lots of people have "sixth toe" issues, which basically negates the need to have a bootfitter stretch the shell manually. The Waymaker feels like it flexes softer than its 100 rating, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. A walk/tour mode gives it 35 degrees of movement: just enough for skiers who primarily ski in the resort, but who want to tour to the goods beyond the ropes every once in a while.

8. Rossignol Alias Sensor 120 ($400)
Last: 104mm (wide width)
Flex: 120 (intermediate/advanced skiers)
What we like: Cheap, wide width and stiff boot.
What we don't: Not for lightweight skiers or average to narrow feet.
Purchasing new ski boots is a significant financial investment, so it's notable that the Rossignol Alias Sensor packs a stiff 120 flex at a $400 price. Rossi has found a nice niche here, as most 120 boots cost hundreds more. Showing that boot manufacturers are in fact listening to the skiing public—there are aggressive skiers with wide feet—the Alias Sensor also has a 104mm last. This extra space in the footbox makes the Alias Sensors a great choice for intermediate to advanced skiers that are bigger and stronger than those that can squeeze into a 97mm last. At this price, the liner is more basic, and both the liner and shell aren't as customizable as more expensive options. But let's not get greedy. For those desiring a wide width, stiff flex combination and don't want to break the bank, we highly recommend the Rossignol Alias Sensor.

9. Salomon Quest Access 90 ($350)
Last: 104mm (wide width)
Flex: 90 (beginner/intermediate skiers)
What we like: The liner is made with a wool hybrid material for warmth.
What we don't: Not for narrow feet.
Women's version: Salomon Quest Access 70
The Quest Access 90 is a solid beginner to intermediate boot from one of the most well respected brands in the business. One of our favorite features is the hike/ski switch on the back—when flipped to hike, the lower and upper cuff unlock to allow for normal upright walking, which is handy for schlepping gear from the parking lot or standing in the bar after a long day. The three-buckle design is simple to operate, and the liner is heat-moldable to customize fit before you head out. The 104mm last width is the widest in the Salomon lineup, and the Quest Access 90 is designed to work best with an average calf volume. A slight step up in terms of stiffness and overall quality from the Nordica Cruise below, this boot should serve progressing beginner and intermediate resort goers quite well.

10. Nordica Cruise 60 ($200)
Last: 104 mm (wide width)
Flex: 60 (beginner skiers)
What we like: Flexible, comfortable, and cheap.
What we don't: Aggressive skiers or those looking to maximize performance will be sorely disappointed.
Women's version: Nordica Cruise 55
Not everyone requires a rigid boot that's been designed to extract every last ounce of performance. Some folks just want to head to the slopes and cruise down their favorite blue run time and again, hence the aptly named Nordica Cruise 60. With a roomy 104 mm last and super forgiving flex, it's about as comfortable as any skiing experience out there. This combination of flex and cush is a great way to get a reluctant beginner into the sport. We don't recommend these boots, however, for anyone that loves carving down the hill. Even beginners that are planning to spend a lot of time on the mountain may want to upgrade to a boot like the Tecnica Cochise 90 so they don't outgrow its limited capabilities.

Boot Flex and Performance
A great place to start your boot search is choosing the proper flex. Every downhill boot on the market is given a flex index number ranging from approximately 60 to 130. Lower numbers are softer, have more give, and are more comfortable, making them ideal for beginner skiers. We cover a couple of our favorite entry-level models on this list, but for a complete look at the best options, check out our ski boots for beginners article. Moving up in stiffness to intermediate and advanced models gets you a boot that isn't as cushy but more efficiently transfers your inputs to the bindings and skis. Less energy is waster in flexing the boot forward and the response is instantaneous. A preferred stiffness also correlates with your body weight, which is why women's boots have a lower flex rating relative to performance. Below are general recommendations; there are ranges within ranges but this paints a good picture.
Men's Flex Ratings
- Beginner 60-80
- Intermediate 80-110
- Advanced 110+
Women's Flex Ratings
- Beginner 50-60
- Intermediate 60-85
- Advanced 85+
Ski boot sizing is one of the most difficult things to hone in online. It's not as simple as taking your shoe size and matching it to a Mondo size (ski boot sizing nomenclature) on a chart. The length, width, volume and underfoot profile need to be dialed in for a boot to be "the one." As a result, we recommend getting to a local shop to get sized. If this is not an option, find a reputable online retailer that allows for returns and order a couple sizes with the expectation that they probably won't fit exactly as you may expect. For a good baseline level of knowledge, here are the most common boot sizing terminology and considerations:
Both men's and women's ski boots are listed in unisex Mondo (or Mondopoint) sizing: the length of your foot measured in centimeters. You can measure your foot by tracing its outline on a piece of paper or marking the bottom of the heel and top of the toes. If your foot measures 30 centimeters in length, your Mondo size is 30. Getting measured in a ski shop is preferred, but this is a rough way to do it at home.
Every manufacturer or retailer provides a sizing chart that matches shoe sizes to ski boot sizes, but your actual Mondo size may be a size or two smaller than what you see on the chart. This is because tight fit is recommended with ski boots. Ski boot liners are made of foam and will mold to your feet over time, so it's best to start with a very snug fit and wear them in.
Footbed width, referred to as last, is another important specification for ski boots. This measurement is based on the width of the forefoot and listed in millimeters. Most manufacturers make ski boots with varying lasts to accommodate those with narrow, average and wide feet. Side-to-side motion is a given when descending a hill, and a boot that's too loose around the sides of your feet will negatively affect performance.
- Narrow: 97-98mm
- Average: 100-102mm
- Wide: 104mm+
For those with narrow feet or looking for performance boots with a more precise fit, look in the 97-98mm range. Average lasts are around 100-102 mm wide for men and 100mm wide for women. Those work well for most skiers with normal width feet. For folks with wide feet, there can be some challenges in finding the right pair. You'll find the occasional boot with 104mm width or more, but your options become more limited.
Replaceable Footbeds/Insoles
No matter how well you do in selecting the proper fit, you still may experience discomfort during a full day of skiing. That's where the final piece of the fit puzzle comes in: replaceable insoles. Most downhill ski boot liners have a removable insole, much like a hiking boot. Swapping these out for a quality aftermarket insole that better matches your foot profile can really make a difference. New insoles can provide better arch support, more or less volume, and a heel cup that better locks your feet in place. Good aftermarket insoles can be found from brands like Superfeet and SOLE.
Another alternative is getting a custom footbed from a boot fitter (which requires getting fit in-person). This is an expensive process but can be worthwhile for those with stubbornly shaped feet or who ski a ton each year. You can call your local ski shop and ask if they make custom footbeds.
Boot Liners
Most all-mountain ski boots are made up of two independent pieces: a hard plastic outer shell that provides structure and strength and a removable liner that delivers comfort, support and insulation. The liner is filled with varying amounts of foam, depending on the type of skiing the boot is intended for. It's not always the best idea to get the most plush and cushiest liner (beginners and comfort-oriented skiers are an exception). The softer foam will not hold your foot and shin as well while carving, and it may not mold as well to your feet over time.
Supportive but comfortable is the preferred place to be for most intermediate and advanced skiers. As we mention above, your liner will conform to your feet, so don't be too concerned if it feels snug at first (but make sure it's not overly restricting or that your toes aren't smooshed against the hard-sided shell.).
Heat-moldable liners can be custom fit to your feet in a ski shop that has the necessary equipment. This is a nice way to get the liner to fit your feet right out of the box, but isn't mandatory for most folks. You can get much of the same fitting accomplished just by wearing the liners around the house or in a few early season ski days.
Buckles and Strap Systems
To start, it's helpful to know that buckles and strap designs do not vary dramatically between brands. The buckle systems on most downhill ski boots follow a similar methodology: two buckles across the foot, one at the bend near the ankle and another along the shin. Look for buckles made mostly with aluminum for greater durability (plastic is cheaper but a bit more prone to breaking). Some boots try and cut some weight by removing the buckle at the ankle, but for downhill purposes when total boot weight isn't as important, we find it well worth having the more supportive four aluminum buckle design.
The strap at the top of the boot near the cuff is another important piece of the design. Sometimes referred to as the power strap, it keeps that top portion nicely locked into place to help bring out the full performance potential of your boots—and at a lower weight and more comfort than adding a 5th buckle. Having a full compliment of buckles as well as a quality power strap also helps in really dialing in the fit, which can make accommodating varying sizes of legs and calves that much easier.
Boot Soles
Boot soles are pretty standard fare for alpine setups. They need to be what's called DIN-rated, which essentially means they are able to release properly from a downhill binding should you taken an unfortunate tumble. They also share a common shape that fits any downhill binding, listed as ISO 5355. Resort skiers should avoid boots that have a rockered sole and are listed as being compatible with AT (touring) bindings. These are for backcountry setups and will not work with standard downhill bindings.
In your search, you inevitably will run into some alpine boots that have been set up to accommodate both AT and downhill bindings. If you're interested in getting in to skiing both and trying to save some money, you can get a boot with a removable/replaceable sole, such as the Rossignol All Track. But keep in mind that this boot is not optimized for uphill travel. It's heavy and doesn't pivot as naturally while walking. Multi-purpose gear can be fun, but it's often worth the extra dough to get a second boot that's been specifically designed for backcountry use.
Walk/Hike Mode: Gimmicky or Worthwhile?
You'll see a number of downhill boots that tout a walk or hike mode. In reality, these modes are best enjoyed in the trek from the car to the resort, as they don't have the necessary range of motion and flex to be truly comfortable when walking long distances. In addition, downhill-focused boots are heavier than dedicated backcountry and randonee boots. It's not all bad news, and the walk feature has its appeals for folks that primarily ski downhill but want the option to do some light skinning or hiking. Just steer clear if you need to spend any more than a few minutes heading uphill.
Ski Socks
Modern ski socks reflect the improvements made in boot liner technology. You no longer need a thick, heavy-duty sock, and the market is now full of trimmed-down options. Modern boots are better insulators and far more comfortable, which all adds up to a more enjoyable experience. Of course, merino wool is the standard and cotton is scarce. For a full list of options, see the best ski socks of 2016.
Choosing the Right Skis and Bindings
Boots are a great place to start in assembling your ski kit. For one, it hopefully means you get the pair that end up fitting you best. It also should help guide the rest of your buying considerations. If you choose an advanced boot, you should pick out a correspondingly aggressive binding and ski that can help deliver the performance the boot is capable of. A stiff boot transfers power very efficiently as long as the binding and ski are capable of responding to those inputs. To help get you properly outfitted, our picks for the best all-mountain skis and ski bindings are organized in a similar fashion as boots, broken down by ability level and terrain.

Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Diddy is no stranger to the fragrance (or fashion) world. Now, the mogul behind the Sean John empire is launching his latest unisex scent, 3AM, which happens to be his sexiest yet. And there is a super-racy video to prove it.
Courtesy 3AM
"I think if people hear about the video, they're going to hear that it's racy and provocative, but I also think they're going to hear people say that it's beautiful," he told Style.com of the NSFW clip, which shows him and his longtime girlfriend Cassie basically going all the way. "That whole interaction has nothing to do with sex as much as it has to do with love. My concept is that love is the new sexy."
The music video inspired by the fragrance makes 50 Shades of Grey look tame. Watch it (in private) below.
RELATED PHOTOS: The Best Spring Scents to Try
And the rapper hopes his new scent inspires its wearers to also get intimate. "Just like with any fragrance, I want somebody to stop you in the elevator and ask you what you're wearing. No matter what the fragrance is called, that's my objective. And I want a lot of people to get laid to it."
So where did the name come from? According to Diddy, it's a nod to the intrigue that happens after hours. "Everybody has a 3 a.m. experience, and usually it's not the regular story that you're talking about. Why are you even up and out at 3 a.m.? Yeah, there is a story there."
And he wants you to steal this fragrance from your man.
"It evolved into being unisex. I think when you plan to make a unisex fragrance, it doesn't work," he explained. "But when you just make a good fragrance that doesn't smell like you're trying to be masculine, you always have a great opportunity [to attract] women. In this case, it was made for a man, but a lot of women liked it, so it's unisex.
Diddy launches 3AM at Macy's on Wednesday, May 6. What do you think of Diddy's new fragrance spot? Over the top? Sexy? Are you going out to buy 3AM? Sound off below.

he's take huge strides this year, give em some time
Yes folks, while we see guys like Oden, Howard, and Bosh blossom right infront of our eyes, we'll have Curry. Isiah will force feed Curry minutes every night, regardless of how many negatives Curry has to contribute to this team. Isiah will play Curry as much time as possible just to prove the Curry deal was a legit deal, disregarding our playoff hopes.
I think Isiah truely believes Curry and Crawford are going to improve. Probably thinks they are magically going to become elite basketball IQ players who don't turn the ball over and play position and help defense.
As long we depend on Curry, we will be a losing basketball team. We will suffer from the same problems. Turnovers and defense. Curry is a strong offensive role player. Nothing more. He can't carry a franchise.
For all that Eddy gives us offensively, he takes away on the denfensive end with not challenging shots, not playing position defense, and his lazy foul attempts.
Rebounding? Well some of our best rebounders Lee and Richardson weren't even playing, and Curry only gets 6 rebounds. 7 rebs per game in 35 minutes per game is poor. Not even using stats, you can indicate Curry's poor rebounding skills in the game. Hell, people are stupid enough to say Dirk doesn't know how to rebound and is soft? Curry can't even position himself. All Curry focuses on 100% is getting in post to go one on one to score.
Turnovers? Well we know Curry's tendacy to get trapped in double teams. He's been in the NBA for 6 years, yet his basketball IQ is so low. Curry demands the ball, but never makes passes for his teammates who are open most of the time. If Curry was more aware, he could average 2 assist a game easily. That would benefit the offense so much. We can't forget about the offensive turnovers.
I'm 5"10 and I can guard the paint better than Eddy Curry. Guards like Chris Paul will always be in the paint when we have a center like Curry. Defensively, I've never seen an all around bad defensive center in my life.
If there was a garbage sports magazine, Eddy Curry would get 5 trashcans.

he's take huge strides this year, give em some time
looking at curry this year, i agree it looks like he has improved but actually his number's this year are very similar to his last year in chicago...
stat's don't lie...
Metro I got a question though... Who on this team would you possibly considering building around? Because there is no franchise player on this team. And please god please don't respond by staying Marbury. He's playing well and would be a nice second option on a good team but thats all.
It's simple were a bad team and Curry plays no D but if we ever want to be a good team he's going to be the key. Agile 7 footers don't grown on trees. Plus everybody rips Curry for being 6-11 and having no defensive presence. Wat about ripping Fyre for doing the same thing. Atleast Curry does it on the offsensive side.
u can't teach " O " which curry brings to the table, but " D " can be taught, but the student must be willing ... i am not sure that curry is willing...
if he becomes even 1/2 decent on "D", u def. build around this guy.
Curry really shouldn't have an offseason... he already has great footing for a big man so if his D gets better it should be a wrap.... and he can get rid of some fat(maybe give some to his buddy Crawford)..... and maybe hit some weights to become the true beast he could be.
I think anyone that is 285 pounds and 6-11 can make easy baskets. How about you? For some reason Curry isn't making clear opportunities like we all want him to, even if he averages 19 points per game. your photoshoped pictures are funny but come on he's trying to loose weight.
Frye doesn't get 25 touches a game like Curry. Frye sucks, we already know this.
Do you want to build your team around Eddy Curry? If Eddy Curry is "considered" a "franchise" player, he's the worst in the NBA. Building your team around the worst primary option in the NBA isn't going to get you great sucess. Quoted from Borat.
curry has done significant progress and his weight is good, compared to last year, he is in great condition, he playing 30 plus minutes for the first time in his career
The fact of the matter is Curry obviously has been struggling the last few games, but on a whole if your not happy with his progress this year your nuts. Hes an agile 7 footer who drops 18 ppg game. He's never going to be Patrick Ewing, but i'd take him over 80 percent of the centers in the league right now.
Getrealistic is right. There are only 3 or 4 Centers in the league worth talking about. Shaq, Yao, and Dwight Howard. Shaq is on his way out. Once that happens there is no real dominate beast inside. I'd build around Curry. Curry and Marbury are a solid one two punch. As far as I'm concerned we only need one other scoring option and every one else should focus on defense and rebounds.
I wouldn't write Frye off just yet. He's had a bad year and should be considered in a trade for the right player, but he's a good role player. His focus needs to be on rebounds and shot blocking.
We're a running fast break team. Without Curry, we look so much better on the court. Watching the Knicks play the raptors today. The offense ball movement is so much cleaner and less turnover prone. The defense is MUCH more agressive, active and effective. There are more fastbreaks and rebounds. We make extra passes on offense. Guys like Balkman and Marbury become more invovled which is better for the team.
Isiah is just pimping Curry.
Don't compare Curry to the top centers in the league, the man is just an offensive role player. He's not all star material. I never seen Curry hit a jumpshot as a Knick. Curry's offensive game is one dementional and predictable.
GetRealistic, can you take your head out of Isiah's ass for once? Progression? Curry is the same guy, but with more minutes. Isiah is just playing Curry more to make the Chicago deal look like it was in his favor. If Curry was on the Spurs, Mavericks, he wouldn't get as many minutes as he gets as a Knick. Curry doesn't play position defense or help defense. His passing and offensive awareness is terrible. He doesn't know how to play winning smart basketball. If he did, we would be a .500 team. We're a SG and a C away from being legit. Unfortunately, our SG and C are Crawford and Curry two players who don't play to win, they just play for themselves. No Crawford, no forcefeed passes to Curry. Curry can't create for himself or his teammates, he need to rely on perfect passes.
Stop hyping Curry. Marcus Camby >>> Curry.
We should ship Curry off to some fool while he's hot. His value is high as it can get, next year teams in the NBA will realize his inferior ability to rebound, play defense, shoot and pass.
I agree Don and GetRealistic...if you want to trade Curry for a downgrade, "YOUR favorite Center"-type of player then I'm glad you aren't the GM. I'm praise god that Isiah is the GM because if half of the people on this site such as ballsinyourjaws oh I mean metrocard lol...were given a chance to run a team, they would run it to the ground with their horrible ideas and trades. I heard someone would trade Curry for Okur...OKUR?? The guy sits on the three point line. How many rebounds would get then? Okur is definitely not a good option. Okur is a powderpuff...
Stay Tuned.....
