Is anyone else noticing the similarities to Mastodon here? Not just in the proggy nature of the songs that remind one of Crack the Skye and The Hunter but also similar guitar tones in places.
Written by Guest on 17.10.2012 at 04:17
This album hasn't really impressed me the way "Axioma Ethica Odini" did. It's a decent album but it is just a little too proggy for my taste and the black metal elements are a little too soft for my taste.
I think this album has a lot more similarities with Opeth more than anything.
Written by Mattybu on 17.10.2012 at 06:00
Heritage was a piece of shit album. If Enslaved pulled an Opeth which they likely have, not good. I'll have to listen before knowing that though xD

"Roots Of The Mountain" sounds like a Mastodon title.

This album is awesome, the best of Enslaved and simply from this year, 8.55 is so far too weak. The same thing for many albums of 2012, this is unbelievable. The FIRST of this year is less rated than the LAST of 2005!!!! What's happening to you all ?!

If only the black metal components of this band were death in it's place, their albums would probably number among my favourites...such a shame that I cannot value the genre, it poses such a limitation.

Actually I think he's saying that because he doesn't like black metal that it places a limitation on what he can listen to.

AEO was much harder hitting indeed, no doubts about that in my mind. It was also more structurally compound which adds a bit of emphasis to that, songs kind of lend themselves to each other with the final two being the most distinctive from the album as a whole. Strongest album from them in terms of energy within the songwriting, but creativity is where RIITIIR comes into a league of its own I think. Each song is something very different from the last, an observation which I would compare to albums like Isa save with better production and prbably less of a black metal influence in the mix
What really wins me over is the clean vocals, in the first few tracks especially... outstanding really. Loved them on "Lightening" from AEO but here they just floor me. But the final two tracks are really where they redefine their sound I think, absolute powerhouses of progressive black

Such a thing definitely exists. "War metal" is probably the definition of brutal/generic black metal (bands like Bestial Warlust).
Written by mz on 09.04.2014 at 22:02
Really? I though that we don't have such thing as brutal black metal. Also, is war metal a subgenre? I think it's similar to viking metal: it's umbrella term , but not a sungenre.
Anyway, you should neglect this reply since know almost nothing about war metal and brutal black metal might exist.

Am I the only one that wasn't totally blown away by Axioma Ethica Odini and thinks that this album is a bit better? Maybe the songwriting isn't as complex, but it certainly sounds more epic--which, the epic, almost mystical bits of Enslaved is what makes me like them so much.
Written by Ace Frawley on 23.04.2014 at 03:38
You're probably not the only one but I'm not in the same camp. I prever AEO to this. I get long-song fatigue listening to this album, especially in the second half of the album. First few songs are epic, though, as is "Roots of the Mountain".
Written by Jaeryd on 23.04.2014 at 19:47
And "Death in the Eyes of Dawn" is fantastic. I heard it live before I heard the album version, and it was nothing short of being absolutely captivating and enthralling. For a minute or two I could've sworn I was in another world. It was quite awesome.
Written by Ace Frawley on 24.04.2014 at 08:56
They didn't play that song when I saw them in Sydney in November - it was one I really wanted to hear live. Still, their set was amazing and stands as the best live experience I've had.

Cogen to Novick: Cut management first, then talk to labor
March 12, 2013 | Portland Business Journal-- Steve Novick and Jeff Cogen have known each other for 12 years, ever since Novick used to rope Cogen and other young Democrats into joining wacky demonstrations that involved marching around Pioneer Square, chanting pro-tax rhymes on April 15.
Now Novick is the newly elected Portland city commissioner and Cogen is the veteran Multnomah County chair, and both are rising stars in Oregon politics. When they get together to talk strategy they have large matters to discuss.
Cogen showed up to a recent meeting at Novick's bare-bones City Hall office wearing a snazzy hat and a big grin. Things have been going well for Cogen lately, and if his tobacco tax proposal passes into law this session they will be going even better. There's also a strong possibility that the $5 million the county shells out for unreimbursed alcohol and drug treatment each year could shift over to Oregon's coordinated care organizations under health reform, and that's another reason for Cogen to smile.

Naughty Stories of the Week
Cheeky, funny & outrightly crazy news of the week!
Washington: Regardless of which candidate you support election night is tough, and since we can't control what happens after casting the ballot experts have come up with the ultimate Election Sex Game that is guaranteed to lessen the anxiety of watching precinct results come in.
The game starts with taking off an item of clothing each time your candidate wins a state and then putting back an item of clothing every time your candidate loses.
The first time anyone mentions a swing state, confess to your significant other which celebrity you would most like to have a threesome with and then require your partner to do the same.
This is followed by every time someone mentions the female vote, do it on a bed of binders, and if your candidate wins have an orgasm instantly.
If Richard Mourdock, Todd Akin, John Koster or Tom Smith lose their election bids, show your partner how women's bodies really work. If they win you should do the same.
Next party like it's 2000 - compose a sext that involves the words "hanging chad", and when the results come in for Wisconsin - a state famous for their dairy products - get out some whipped cream and take it from there.
Every time you see Paul Ryan's buff self have your partner attempt to bench press you, and every time you see Joe Biden's pearly whites sensually bite someone in the room.
When the majority of the southern state's precincts have reported, take the slogan "Virginia is for lovers" literally.
When the final results come in and the victory/concession speeches start, take a breather. Not even an orgasm is worth missing the important end to a seemingly endless campaign.
Lastly, go back into the bedroom. This calls for some victory and/or comfort-me-in-my-defeat sex and then pass out.
2. Sex emporium to serve 1,000 guests with 150 prostitutes
London: Europe's biggest brothel is set to open on the outskirts of Vienna - with scores of vice girls ready to cater to more than 1,000 people a day.
The sex emporium in Austria will have 150 prostitutes in a vast knocking shop complete with restaurant, beauty parlour, gym, sunbeds and hairdressers.
The 15-million-pound-brothel is the idea of local businessman Peter Laskaris, who said, "It's more than just a brothel." The fun house also promises to host sex show festivals, orgies and swingers parties.
3. Rihanna Gets Racy with Kate Moss in Topless Shoot
New York: Rihanna treated her Twitter fans to several racy photos of herself and Kate Moss in various states of undress.
The singer and the supermodel each take a turn to appear half-naked and draped over each other's laps in a series of racy new shots for December's V magazine.
Adorned with lacy bustiers, smoky eyes, stilleto heels and whips, both ladies explored a bit of their dominatrix sides for the Mario Testino spread.
The 24-year-old singer later uploaded more raunchy backstage shots to show her modelling credentials - from the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at Lexington Armory, where she wowed crowds with two songs.
4. Ke$ha Takes Part in Orgy in New Music Video
London: Ke$ha seemed to be the object of desire for both men and women, as she writhed around half naked and took part in an orgy in her latest music video.
Wearing a daring cut-out leather leotard and a bizarre one-legged boot, the 25-year-old singer looked her typically fierce self, as she rode along on the band of hunks.
But it wasn't long until the star sprung into action, kicking down a door and starting to trash what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse.
Smashing chairs left right and centre, the 'Tik Tok' hitmaker was quickly joined by a whole host of scantily-clad men and women, who proceeded to do the same.
Beginning a party in the abandoned room, the women appeared to be wearing bondage-style clothing and seemed to have trails of blood smeared across their faces.
And with one thing leading to another, it wasn't long before a series of couples started kissing passionately in different corners of the room.
Putting on particularly amorous displays with a fair amount of flesh on show, the situation eventually ended up with Ke$ha seemingly involved in a huge orgy.
Caressing her body passionately, hordes of leather-clad men and women surrounded the curvaceous blonde, seemingly unable to keep their hands off her.
The group love-in scene was interspersed with shots of the star writhing around on a bed alone, showing off her incredible figure in just a set of skimpy cream underwear and a shaggy fur gilet.
5. Jenny McCarthy Tried to Have Sex With a Tree
London: Jenny McCarthy has revealed that she once got high on ecstasy and tried to have sex with a tree.
The 40-year-old model and actress, who has previously dated stars including Jim Carrey and NFL player Brian Urlacher, had stripped naked after taking one too many hits of the party drug with female friends on a beach.
"I found myself holding a tree to brace myself. The texture felt so good that I decided to rub my head and boobs all over it. It was a tree I was humping!" she said in her new memoir Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic.
The book gives other tidbits of her life, including secret lesbian affairs and her belief that God once spoke directly to her.
6. Face Your Fears: Skydive in Lingerie!
Washington: 7 women are planning to jump from an airplane near Lake Elsinore, California, wearing nothing but parachutes and their lingerie, so that they can face their fears.
The jump is part of Esme and Eve's 'Be Bold. Take the Leap' initiative, in which Hoffman and Gallegos urge women "to face their fears, take a risk and push against whatever is holding them back from carrying out their dreams."

December 6, 2012 —
By SANDY LONG
BARRYVILLE, NY — Sometimes the perfect partnerships come together like pieces of a puzzle falling neatly into place, solving a problem while uniting people in a common goal.
That's just what happened at New Hope Manor (NHM), an all-female residential substance abuse treatment community in Barryville that is one of very few such facilities that also accommodate residents' infants and young children, allowing mother and child to remain together.
The problem was that the facility lacked a playground for the children, who played instead on tennis courts outside the main building. NHM mother/infant coordinator Julissa Quezada felt that something should be done. "As childcare providers, there was a need to offer outdoor programs in an appropriate setting for the children," said Quezada. "It was something we needed to do, but didn't have the resources for."
Quezada sought grants and other funding without success, but didn't give up. She discussed the situation with NHM childcare provider Bonnie Watts, who suggested contacting Matt Donnelly, a local Boy Scout looking for an Eagle Scout project. Donnelly readily accepted, and coordinated various aspects of the project, such as site preparation. Fellow scouts from Troop 102 in Glen Spey provided labor along with scout master Brian Worzel and scout leader Rich Watts, Bonnie's husband.
Other community volunteers and local businesses lent their support as well. Friends of New Hope Manor got involved by donating the white picket fence that surrounds the playground.
Additional funds were needed for the two tons of eco-friendly mulch that provides a safe surface for the children, and items such as the sandbox, slide and swing set.
For this, Watts reached out to the members and pastor of her church, the Barryville United Methodist Church, where some of the NHM residents bring their children when attending services there. The women participate by doing readings, and church members have embraced them into the community. "They love the girls and they love the babies," said Watts.
The generous response was astounding, with approximately $2,400 given in support of the playground.
"There was such an outpouring of people willing to give, whether it was money, time, materials or labor," said Watts. "We're a giving church. If there's a need and we know about it, we take care of it." In gratitude, the women organized the dedication ceremony for the new playground.
The entire effort is testimony to what can be achieved when a gift of the heart is actualized through the efforts of a community working together.
"To see the children expanding their skills and abilities—no amount of money can buy that sense of satisfaction," said Quezada. "This has been a hope and a dream come true," added Watts.
Since its founding in 1970, NHM has served approximately 3,000 women age 14 and up, along with many of their children. Its graduates include university deans, medical doctors, attorneys and more. Visit www.newhopemanor.org [1] for more information or call 845/557-8353.
[Every once in a while you hear a story about someone who gave or received a life-changing gift during the year-end holiday season.

We are calling this feature "A Gift from the Heart," and we want to tell several of these stories in our newspaper during December.

Just war theory
Just war theory is the attempt to distinguish between justifiable and unjustifiable uses of organized armed forces.
- Pax melior est quam iustissimum bellum.
- Translation: Peace is better than the most just war.
- .מלחמת שלום הגליל היתה מהמוצדקות ביותר במלחמות ישראל
- Translation: Peace for Galilee's war was one of the most justified of Israel's wars.
- Ariel Sharon, in a TV interview
- We must not let what happened lead to a deepening of divisions. Religion must never be used as a reason for conflict. [...] With all my heart I beg God to keep the world in peace. From this place, I invite both Christians and Muslims to raise an intense prayer to the One, almighty God whose children we all are, that the supreme good of peace may reign in the world.
- Pope's spokesman Dr. Joaqun Navarro-Valls: ...the pope believes that the extremists directly responsible for the attacks on the United States could and should be distinguished from the wider threat of Islamic fundamentalism and that any response should be limited to punishing the guilty.
- Pope John Paul II, Astana, Kazakhstan, September 23, 2001 [1]
- The war in Afghanistan against apocalyptic terrorism qualifies in my understanding as the first truly just war since World War II.
- Defining a Just War, by Richard Falk, October 11, 2001
- I say: NO TO WAR! War is not always inevitable. It is always a defeat for humanity. International law, honest dialogue, solidarity between states, the noble exercise of diplomacy; these are methods worthy of individuals and nations in resolving their differences. I say this as I think of those who still place their trust in nuclear weapons, and as I think of the all too numerous conflicts which continue to hold hostage our brothers and sisters in humanity. Bethlehem reminds us of the unresolved crisis in the Middle East, where two peoples, Israeli and Palestinian, are called to live side by side, equally free and sovereign, in mutual respect. Faced with the constant degeneration of the crisis in the Middle East, I say to you that the solution will never be imposed by recourse to terrorism or armed conflict, as if military victories could be the solution. And what are we to say about the threat of a war which could strike the people of Iraq, the land of the Prophets, a people already sorely tried by more than 12 years of embargo? War is never just another means that one can choose to employ for settling differences between nations. As the charter of the United Nations Organisation and international law itself remind us, war cannot be decided upon, even when it is a matter of ensuring the common good, except as the very last option and in accordance with very strict conditions, without ignoring the consequences for the civilian population both during and after the military operations.
- Pope John Paul II, January 13, 2003 [2]
- When war, as in these days in Iraq, threatens the fate of humanity, it is ever more urgent to proclaim, with a strong and decisive voice, that only peace is the road to follow to construct a more just and united society. Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.
- Pope John Paul II, March 22, 2003 [3]
- Constantine was converted to Christianity by a vision that came to him on the eve of the battle of Milvian Bridge: "He saw with his own eyes, up in the sky and resting over the sun, a cross-shaped trophy formed from light, and a text attached to it which said, 'By this sign, conquer' ". Soon the cross would morph from being a hated symbol of Roman brutality into the universally recognizable logo of the Holy Roman Empire. Within a century, St Augustine would develop the novel idea of just war, trimming the church's originally pacifist message to the needs of the imperial war machine.
- Empires prefer a baby and the cross to the adult Jesus, by Giles Fraser, December 24, 2004
- Every decision to launch a war, even if it is the most justified and clear decision, is never easy. [...] It should not be utilized in the political race of those who wish to rise to power even at the price of baseless self-destruction, which lacks logic and boundaries – all this around a war which was the most justified.
- Ehud Olmert, May 29, 2007 [4]
- Ron Paul: I strongly believe that there is a Christian doctrine of just war. [..] Christ came here for spiritual reasons, not secular war and boundaries and geography. And yet, we are now dedicating so much of our aggressive activity in the name of God, but God, he is the Prince of Peace. That is what I see from my God and through Christ. I vote for peace.
Sam Brownback: I vote for peace, too. But I also vote for the protection of life, and I vote for the strength of America, and I vote for our place in the world. This is a key country, and it's a country that is standing up to Islamic fascism, and it's a country that is standing up for the rights of individuals, and I think there is a just war that is going on in Iraq. --Values Voter Presidential Debate, September 17, 2007 [5] [6]
- There are two rules of war that have not yet been invalidated by the new world order. The first rule is that the belligerent nation must be fairly sure that its actions will make things better; the second rule is that the belligerent nation must be more or less certain that its actions won't make things worse.
- Martin Amis, "The Palace of the End", The Guardian, 4 March 2003

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Sept. 12, 2013) – Sofia Camacho wanted to do something subtly symbolic for her graduation today from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's physical therapy program.
So she sported a pair of peep-toe pumps with red sequins, which made her stand out among her 25 classmates clad in traditional black regalia as each traversed the stage in front of a near-capacity crowd at the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts.
"The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies," Sofia said after the ceremony. "I've been away from home for so long, I thought this would be a good way to say 'there's no place like home'."
Sofia, 25, relocated from her Dover, N.H. home to Prince Frederick, Md. several years ago to care for a terminally ill relative. She worked at a local physical therapy clinic nearby, where she met two UMES graduates who encouraged her to pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at their alma mater.
After doing research, she discovered UMES limits the number of students it enrolls to ensure personalized instruction, and produces graduates who pass the national licensure exam on the first try.
"It's been a wonderful experience," she said. "I really feel like this was the right choice for me. Now, I get to go home to New Hampshire."
Stephanie Pollitt grew up just up the road in Salisbury, where she was a track athlete and cheerleader in high school. Three surgeries on an injured knee over seven years introduced her to the world of physical therapy as a patient.
Now, she's going to be the person getting others back on their feet.
"It was definitely a grueling route," Stephanie, 24, said. "It was worth every second. There were times, though, I thought I wouldn't make." The trials were worth it; she has a job offer awaiting her in Easton.
Sharese Smith of Elizabeth City, N.C. came to UMES on the recommendation of a previous student she knew back home.
"I wanted to be a physical therapist ever since I knew (back in high school) it was what I wanted to do", said Sharese, 27. "I'm very thankful, and happy to be moving on to the next chapter of my life."
Lindsay Duryea of Pocomoke City gravitated to UMES' physical therapy program after gaining experience as an assistant working in a Lower Shore nursing home.
"I have friends in the field who inspired me," said Lindsay, 32. "I enjoy working with people."
She described her emotions after the ceremony as "ecstatic, overwhelmed and relieved that it is over."
UMES President Juliette B. Bell served as the keynote speaker during the university's traditional fall convocation ceremony that doubles as the commencement for the physical therapy program.
She challenged the Class of 2013 to be creative, energetic and committed to their chosen field "every day. That's job security."
Bell also awarded Dr. Leon Copeland the title "Faculty Emeritus" in recognition of his 35 years teaching in the university's technology department. He retired a year ago.
UMES' fall convocation is held annually in conjunction with Founders' Week.

In 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower stood next to Japan's Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi to celebrate the signing of the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, and said our two nations were creating "an indestructible partnership" based on "equality and mutual understanding."
Over the last five decades, the U.S.-Japan alliance has grown and flourished, with two of the world's largest economies building a foundation for engagement on security, economic and energy prosperity, and tackling 21st century global challenges. The strong history between our two nations has been an anchor of stability in Asia.
In November 2009, we launched the U.S.-Japan Clean Energy Action Plan, committing both nations to strengthen cooperation in basic science, carbon capture and storage, energy efficiency and smart-grid technologies, renewable technologies, and nuclear energy. In December 2013, representatives from the U.S. Departments of State and Energy, and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry held the fifth U.S.-Japan Clean Energy Policy Dialogue in Livermore, California. At the meeting, officials discussed the ideal state of future U.S.-Japan cooperation on clean energy, progress made to date -- including the Okinawa-Hawaii Partnership on Clean and Efficient Energy Development and Deployment, and the Tohoku Green Community Alliance -- and the current situation of the LNG market.
Building on our history of close collaboration on energy policy, I had the privilege of attending the recent International Energy Symposium in Tokyo last month, organized by the International Petroleum Exploration Corporation, the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ), and the University of Tokyo. At the symposium, I spoke about the geopolitical impact of the global shale-gas revolution (brought on by the increase of U.S. natural gas production), on ways the United States is using energy more wisely through energy efficiency, and about the global shift in energy demand toward Asia. I was honored to be joined by fellow panelists at the symposium Nobuo Tanaka, former Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA); Dr. Ken Koyama, chief economist at IEEJ; and Amos Bromhead, senior energy analyst at the IEA.
The United States and Japan work closely together on across-the-board energy issues, such as nuclear energy, climate change, natural gas, renewables and other clean energy technologies, and disaster recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The United States and Japan are working together on post-disaster recovery to build communities that are strong, sustainable, and resilient through bilateral delegations supporting recovery from the 2007 tornadoes in Greensburg, Kansas, to the areas affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, to the recent typhoon destruction in the Philippines. This is a subject I personally engage on closely, through research and collaboration on post-disaster green reconstruction at Tokyo's Institute of Technology.
You can learn more about how the United States and Japan are collaborating on post-disaster recovery, coming back stronger and more efficient in Secretary Kerry's remarks at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in April 2013.
As world energy markets continue to change rapidly with increased demand from Asian economies, it will be critical to lead the clean energy revolution with our partner, Japan -- a nation known for its commitment to democracy, innovation, entrepreneurship, and technological expertise. This longstanding bond, and the U.S.-Japan alliance, is a cornerstone of the rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region. I am inspired by the good will and similarities both the United States and Japan can put forth while engaged in such a robust exchange of ideas. We must continue to work closely together as both nations have a significant role to play in the world -- including economics, investment, trade, and quality of life.

Previous Encounter
Probing The Enemy
The Jizz are far from the same team they were since booting D Williams, and their post trade statistics are not available. So, instead of a categorical/statistical perusal, I'll feature some focal match ups I consider keys to a much needed victory. and elaborate on the roles of integral bench players.
Focal Match Up ①
And it is pivotal to our success. A lot of offence against a lot of defence. Kirilenko is an incredibly versatile player. He's inconsistent offensively, but can put the ball on the floor and pass exceptionally well. Amazing athlete with an albatross' wingspan.
Our reliance on Anthony's point production will be tested tonight against an All NBA defender. Though he's dropped off significantly after a calf injury, AK47 still fills up the major defensive categories, and presents a problem for our go to scorer on the block.
Though he may not look it, Kirilenko actually outweighs Melo 235 pounds to 230, and is an inch taller, but has a 7'4" wingspan to bring to this head to head battle, to Melo's 6'11". This isn't MMA, but I figured it worth mentioning as rebounding will once again be a struggle for us.
Carmelo is undeniably the stronger of the 2, and will no doubt utilise the advantage.
Focal Match Up ②
At 6'10" & 280, Big Al Jefferson posts another size problem for The Knicks on the glass. He corrals 9.2 RPG, and as history proves, opponent bigs have career rebounding nights against our team.
Lateral movement defensively is a weak point for Jefferson, and the league's best high post PF, STAT, should go on yet another offensive tirade.
The inevitability of Stoudemire posing any threat on the offensive glass becomes less of a likelihood, with not only Jefferson impeding him, but the Jazz's newly acquired rookie, Derrick Favors.
Jefferson has a myriad of post moves, but a lack of athleticism should allow for Stoudemire to challenge his shots. I predict that STAT will block at least 1, perhaps 2 of his attempts.
Focal Match Up ③
Though he's outmatched for pace and height, look for Billups to discombobulate Harris on both ends of the floor. Superior strength and a versatile post up game are 2 big advantages for Billups, and his ability to draw fouls on a whim make this a match up the Knicks can't afford to not capitalise upon.
Focal Match Up ④
This, IMO, is the second most important match up to Kirilenko V Anthony. If Fields is to have as productive a night as he did in that whore of a game against Cleveland, he could well be the X factor in providing a crucial win as the season closes. Bigger, stronger, more athletic and with an impressive wang, Fields SHOULD look to provide some much needed offence and his trademark intangibles in what is a match up that's clearly in our favour.
Utah's X Factors
● CJ Miles killed us in our previous encounter with Utah. He's a heady player on both ends and rarely makes mistakes. At stages he'll guard Carmelo Anthony, which is where he becomes a disadvantage for his team. He lacks physical strength and if the scouting reports are on to it, we'll look to beat him down with The Beast On The Block. Containing him offensively is the key.
● Earl Watson, though he looks like a shaved Ewok, is a big plug off the bench for Utah. Offensively and defensively, Watson is capable of disrupting any team unprepared for him.
NYK X Factors
We all know what they're capable of, but Williams in particular needs to bring some help on the glass, and hit his shots. All we need is some good post D from Ronny on Jefferson and some timely fouls and rotating D in the paint.

Im gonna be at this game.. hoping for a better performance than we had vs the Cavs..
Always a great game threads..... we should have a competition for the best game thread, and the winner get some gifts or something.
by the way, nobody care about the hawks game?
great game thread!....what happened to the hawks game thread???
Bring them on! Little time to rest after that enormous win at ATL. Maintain the defensive vibe and go after another W to stay ahead of Philly.
The Jazz are 2-8 of their last 10 since trading Williams and losing Sloan. Probably should have put that in the thread.
big week ahead starting with this game, we need a W everytime now at MSG
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
I'll start posting in here again...Been some months! We shouldn't lose to this Jazz team, play em tough and we win.
I'm positive after last nights huge win, but I've been positive a couple of times this season after big wins, only to get disappointed against garbage teams like Sacramento, Cleveland and Minnesota.
I really hope the guys have enough energy left this time to get 2 Ws in 2 nights. So important with Philly breathing down our neck.
Let's go Knicks!
Without Sloan & now Williams; the Jazz just aren't the same anymore.
There is no such thing as a "free win", but we should beat this Utah team; especially if we play with heart on defense. I say we rest Billups tonight. Have Billups 100% healthy & ready for both Memphis & Dallas. Douglas has been money for us. He's a real spark, and all the playing time/experience he gains before the playoffs will be good for both TD & the Knicks. Let Billups rest, we have Carter who makes for a smart veteran backup.
MSG will be rocking, I love the fact that Jeffries is back with the Knicks. Dude plays with heart. If we play with the type of defensive intensity we played with against MIA, Hornets & ATL... We win by 15+.
Prediction: Knicks: 107 / Jazz: 89
MVP- Carmelo Anthony. Comes back strong after an off night last night. Melo with 34 pts, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals & 1 block.
I almost sold my tix to this game, but nah...I'll be in attendance.
I feel like Melo is due for one of those stupid games where he is just unconscious all night. He was getting off to that kind of start yesterday until Horford decided to play pool with his noggin.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

AMD Launches FX CPUs with Bulldozer Architecture

AMD FX series chart (click to enlarge)
Eight-core Zambezi flagship to challenge Intel's Core i7
AMD has launched its much anticipated FX series of desktop CPUs using the
architecture. Codenamed
, the 32nm chips represent the company's top offerings for enthusiasts.
is the first complete redesign of AMD's processor architecture since the K7
was launched in 1999, and features significant improvements in manufacturing, design, and cost reduction.
The drive for efficiency and greater instructions per clock (IPC) was the original impetus for
. Long gone are the days of simply increasing clock speed for easy performance gains. AMD and Intel have been increasing the number of CPU cores, but that takes up a lot of die space. Intel has been pushing HyperThreading as its way of maximizing efficiency, and is pretty good when a CPU stalls due to a cache miss, branch misprediction, or data dependency. However, AMD has decided to go a markedly different route.
module provides an independent, dedicated integer and scheduler unit for each core. A single floating point unit is shared between the two cores in a
module, along with the fetch and decode units and a 2MB L2 cache. There is a 16KB L1 data cache per core, as well as a 64KB L1 instruction cache per module. This adds up to an impressive 128KB L1 data cache, 256KB L1 instruction cache, and 8MB L2 cache for an eight-core FX processor.
Theoretically, this should provide much better performance than HyperThreading, which functions best when there are a lot of CPU stalls because all threads must compete for available execution resources. HyperThreading increases performance by approximately 30% at a cost of 5% extra die space, but the second integer core in Bulldozer could almost double integer performance at a die cost of only 12%.
The Bulldozer architecture was originally supposed to debut in the first half of 2009, and would've enabled AMD to compete toe-to-toe with Intel on pure performance, rather than on pricing alone. However, various financial difficulties and a major recession led to delays, while the divestment of its
manufacturing capacity into GlobalFoundries
led to some technical delays. Almost three years late, the design has been updated significantly in order to accommodate the latest technologies and manufacturing processes.
FX chips are built by GlobalFoundries on its 32nm Silicon on insulator (SOI) process. The eight core
chips have around two billion transistors and a die size of approximately 315mm
. An integrated northbridge unit supplies an 8MB L3 cache, four 16-bit HyperTransport 3.0 links, and the integrated memory controller. Depending on the model, it runs at either 2.2Ghz or 2.0GHz. The most significant update to the integrated dual-channel memory controller is native support for DDR3 memory at 1866MHz (DDR3-1866/PC3-14900). ECC memory is still supported; a welcome relief to those who are planning on FX-based workstations, as Intel only supports ECC memory on its much more expensive Xeon workstations.
There are instruction sets aplenty: SSE3, SSE4.1/4.2, AES, and AVX. AMD is also introducing support for FMA4 and XOP. FMA4 can be thought of as specific instructions designed to speed up Fused Multiply–Add (FMA) operations. XOP is a revision of the SSE5 instruction set, redesigned to be more compatible with Intel's AVX.
The four new FX chips being launched today will require motherboards with socket AM3+, but the good news is that enthusiasts will be able to upgrade to a top of the line FX-8150 for $245. The FX-8120 will be available for $205, while the six-core FX-6100 will be priced at $165. The four-core FX-4100 with a 95W TDP is available for only $115. All FX chips are unlocked, and AMD has already set the Guinness World Record for the "Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor" by overclocking a
chip to 8.429 GHz.
Several speed bumps are already planned for Q1 and Q2 of 2012 as GlobalFoundries 32nm process matures. However, Bulldozer won't move into into the mainstream until the
refresh next year.
cores featuring DirectX 11
Fusion technology
will replace
, while the 10-core
processor will supplant
as the FX flagship.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

gas station robbery
Vermont State Police investigated a robbery early Monday morning at the Exit 4 Sunoco gas station and convenience store in Dummerston.
Police said around 1:30 a.m., a man went into the store on Route 5 and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk at first refused, but after being threatened, turned over money, police said.
The robber then fled the store with about $100 in cash, according to police.
The robber was described as a white man, between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with an average build. He was wearing a black knitted cap pulled down over his face with eye holes cut into it. He was also wearing a blue winter jacket with a white horizontal stripe across the front and back.
Police said no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported.

I sure have! it took me a while to do that but it was worth it and at the end I was rewarded by finding that wonderful video of Duke Snider. ther are some more old Brooklyn Dodgers out there that I was having fun watching.
You've really been doing your research, Emma. Who needs Baseball Reference with you around! Good detective work.
I'm with Jane… all things Dodgers, I'm comin' to you, Emma!
I am your Dodger contact Jeff!
I must admit, I'd never in a million lifetimes think Duke Snider outta all those questions they asked. lol. Amazing. And I'm guessing this was the last recording before they moved to Los Angeles. I wonder where that avocado field that they were speaking of is at now. Hmn, a mystery. lol.
Great writing as always Emma.
Check out my blog and comment on my newest posts!
There are some seriously old dudes on that list…nice to know so many are still around!.
As for Tucson, I am just sick about it. How horrible for all those families. Makes me very sad :O(
Wow !,You are amazing Emma !, wonderful video of the Duke.
I would have never guessed either but I think they recognized his voice. Is so cool that the videos are around. Fallbrook I would think is where the avocado trees were/are.
Wonderful post and poem you posted!
Yep, the oldest is 101! I am thiking of the t-shirt "Old Guys Rule!"
Thanks Bluedog! I figure you would enjoy that video.
Thanks for the list Emma. You are the best!!
That's amazing! I wish I could start a list of Cubs players that last one a World Series.
Hey, Kirk Gibson in the World Series was one of my favourite moments.
—Mark Gauthier
Thanks for sharing Emma.
@ Emma, I've been around there before. Well, actually I do some traveling down to Oceanside to see my GF, and since its close to there, we often go sight seeing. LOL. Man, I wonder if those avocados are still his property and if so, how good they might taste.
And Thank You for taking the time out to read my blog, or more so importantly, the first article at the top regarding the shooting of a sweet, innocent little angel. I hope you truly loved reading the article and were touched by the words I wrote.
It meant alot to me to see what people have to say, and for the record, congrats on becoming a TOP 100 blog. I hope to one day reach that status with my blog, so heres to optimism.
Happy New Years and God Bless!!
You are so welcome True! Is fun doing that!
So sorry that you lost Adrian. I will miss seeing him play in the NL. I love Duke's video.
Thanks Mark! Gibby's moment is one of my favorites too. It be interesting to pull a list of the Cubbies that last won the W.S. One of these years the Cubbies will win. Anything is possible after the hated Jints won.
I am glad you liked that! One of these years I'll make it back to New York so True, you and I can watch our Bums.
I truly enjoyed your post! Keep up the great work! I believe I read or heard he sold the avocado farms but I bet he still has some trees. You know I never been to Fallbrook. Also one of these Saturdays I want to take the train to Oceanside or San Juan Capistrano. I never been there. I only pass on my way to San Diego.
That's a nice job with the list. Players from a by-gone era should be remembered and you do a good job of honoring them by posting them here and keeping track.
Thanks Russelw! I started two years ago and is been fun keeping track of these Brooklyn players.
I luv Duke Snider! Now THAT's a gentleman! I just wish I lived here when he was my next door neighbor!!!😦
Welcome Lisa!
Wow! Duke Snider was your neighbor!?!? Wow!
What a wonderful job you have done on compiling this list. Amazing so many of these great players still around. Could you please email me at email@example.com. My son and nephew are writing a research paper (8th Grade)that will take them a few months to complete and hoping to interview some of the players we are able to fly to do the interviews. My Brother In Law played for the Texas Rangers during the Nolan Ryan years and has some connections as well, in fact was coached at one point in his his career by Wayne Terwilliger
Thanks! That is great that your son and nephew are working on that research paper. It sounds wonderful. I'll send you an email but if you back here my email is crzblue at yahoo. I have the list in excel if you want it. We have lost eight so far this year from the list. I usually do a tribute to all tht have passed away during the prior year at the beginning of January and update my list.
Kevin, I am so glad to hear that young people get involved with projects like this.
Here is the list of Brooklyn that have passed away this year:

Hot off the press: youth-led Manor Ink
June 12, 2012 —
Anyone who thinks that today's young people are apathetic hasn't met the pack that recently produced the inaugural issue of Manor Ink. In fact, covering issues that youth care about is precisely the point of the new publication, according to Tyler Young, 17, one of several young editors involved in the effort.
"It's all from the point of view of kids, what we think is important," said Tylor.
The premier issue tackles topics ranging from invasive insects to the MazFest music festival to the loss of a beloved high school music teacher. In "Imagine Manor," youth weigh in with a wish list on what they want to see in town, such as a movie theater, skate park and teen hangout. A community calendar and library news round out the colorful pages.
The new publication is based at the Livingston Manor Free Library and is part of a multi-media news project hosted by the library. Timed for release in advance of the popular Trout Parade, the eight-page, full-color newspaper was planned and written by kids and young adults in and around Livingston Manor who have been meeting at the library since March.
A group of adult mentors, including library director Peggy Johansen, designer Carolyn Bivins and journalist Barbara Gref, has been advising the news operation. Gref runs the nonprofit Community Reporting Alliance, which has partnered with the library to help produce the print and digital news.
In order to fill a news void that developed due to the loss of Livingston Manor's community newspaper and the school's newspaper, and to provide a vehicle for the voice of young people, mother and substitute teacher Jamie Helper approached the library board in late 2011. The concept was well received and has only gained momentum since.
"Manor Ink is off and running," said Johansen. "With continued hard work, it will be the newspaper of Livingston Manor, a community that has a clear identity, a strong history and citizens who care about community affairs."
So far, about 16 young people have been involved in writing stories, taking photos, recording videos, building the website, setting up the Facebook page, selling ads and planning fundraisers. All young people are welcome to join. The general age group is 12 to 21 years old.

Sliding-scale health careNovember 14,2013
Sliding-scale health care
Andrew Torre raises some good points in his commentary on the crisis in health care in Sundays paper (Nov. 10). Certainly a driving force in the cost of health care is the ability to do so much more than was the case just a generation or two ago. The pace of change is continuing to escalate, and we will most likely see dramatic changes in our ability to replace body parts (hearts, pancreas, ??) and to have targeted health care based on our DNA.
But why is health care in the U.S. so much more expensive than in other countries when our results are mediocre at best? The answer is at once complex and simple to understand. Many, maybe most, do not care much about the cost of health care. People with the greatest power in our country, the wealthy, pay only a tiny fraction of their income toward health care so more is better. Pull out all the stops. Hospitals in easy distance with all the latest technology and experts doesnt matter much that costs soar.
Next there are all those covered by their employers policies. Most have no idea of the amount of their pay that was forgone to pay that cost. The focus weve had on paying for health care through the workplace would make sense if there were some correlation between work and the need for health care but there is none.
Paying the cost for health care is the most regressive major tax that we have because the cost is the same for virtually all income groups while the ability to pay is not. There would be a much greater push for efficiency in the delivery of health care if all parties paid the same percentage of their income for this care.
This is how it should be.

She came, she saw, she conquered.
Ninety-eight-year-old Mozelle Richardson, my mother, was the guest of Suzi and Newton Warzecha for the Goliad Massacre Reenactment. She was born in Hereford, Texas, in 1914 and has been an avid defender of all things Texas for 98 years.
Mom is a whiz on Texas history, beginning with the first book she ever read at 7 years old, The History of Texas. In fact, I told Newton he might just have met his match.
Attending the reenactment has been a dream of hers. Suzi Warzecha and I have been friends for almost 40 years. I have attended three massacres. Let me rephrase that. I have attended three reenactments of massacres. They all made a lasting impression on me, and I would relate these experiences to my mother.
I think she felt that it really wasn't fair that I was attending them since I wasn't even born in Texas.
And then the middle of March, the phone rang.
"Susie, I have a terrific idea! Why don't you bring your mom to this year's reenactment?"
She explained the living arrangements and then added, "And I will be her personal elevator operator."
I've seen this elevator lurking in the back of their home. And I had my doubts about it. It was a hand-operated wooden contraption laden with ropes, pulleys and chains and sported a huge multicolored painting of Dr. Seuss's Cat In the Hat as a backdrop.
Was this a joke? Did I really want to subject my dear mother to this devious-appearing mechanism? I acquiesced, as I trusted Suzi.
I called Mom, not sure if she would feel up to going. On the contrary, she heartily accepted. She'd love to go ... with a few caveats. We had to take her car. (Yes, she still drives.) "Because," she explained, "I want to take my scooter."
Her scooter is mounted on the back of her car. I agreed, but I had my own caveat - I would drive.
We arrived at the Warzechas on Thursday evening after a two-day drive from Santa Fe. Suzi guided Mom and me onto the elevator. I held my breath as Suzi, amid extensive creaking and squeaking, pulled and tugged and before long we had ascended to the second floor. This thing really worked! Mom was enthralled and exclaimed to Suzi, "I have never done anything like that in my life!"
To which Suzi replied, "Mrs. Richardson, you have no idea how thrilled I am to have provided a 98-year-old woman with a new experience."
To which Mom replied, "Suzi, please call me Mozelle."
And the rest is history.
Mom was enchanted with Suzi's home. She especially noticed a large concrete paving stone in the shape of Texas with the word Texas embossed on it. The first evening, Mom sat on Suzi's and Newton's balcony in a rocking chair, sipping a pomegranate lemonade, admiring the beautifully lighted courthouse as it chimed it's soothing melodies, a cool breeze wafting.
She was a one happy lady.
Friday morning, we headed for the presidio. I wanted her to have a chance to get a firsthand look before the crowds the next day. I had never seen the scooter trailer in action, but I was most impressed. She lowered the trailer, rode the scooter off the trailer, went back to the trailer platform, raised it, got back on her scooter and was ready to explore Presidio La Bahia.
I should've expected nothing less of the woman who graduated from University of Oklahoma at age 90.
She carefully read and examined the artifacts in the display cabinets in the museum. She then scooted out to the presidio courtyard, camera at the ready. Tents, horses, wagons and reenactors were just beginning to set up. She watched two men in period dress digging a fire pit. She spoke to several people on horseback, asking them all sorts of questions, was fascinated and, of course, had them pose for photos.
The next morning, Saturday, we returned to the presidio, ready for some battle action and repeated the trailer unloading. When I thought I would lower it myself to help her out, she said, "Damnit! I want to do it."
OK Mom, you're the boss.
We watched as the Mexicans fought the Texians. Cannons boomed, horses charged, Mencel (and then, thankfully, were resurrected), drummers drums and captors were marched away. I have to admit, it was most exciting. They had some 350 reenactors, many more than when I had last seen it, 10 years ago.
She wanted to hear Newton's lecture in the chapel. After the lecture, Mom scooted up the cannon ramp on the chapel grounds. She asked me to take a photo of her with the cannon. Then she was quiet, not saying a word. Just looked out at the view and back at the chapel, probably imagining what was happening on this very spot on Palm Sunday, 1836, 176 years ago.
Mom had decided not to do the Sunday morning death march. Newton had discouraged it, and since Newton had become Mom's new beau, Mom begrudgingly concurred until she saw the Texians blissfully heading off into the forest, with the Mexicans marching behind them. And she was off, scooting furiously to catch up to them.
I did my best to keep up ... that scooter is fast. I likened her version of the death march to four- wheeling in a scooter. She bumped over gravel and dirt roads, through mud and even through an untouched, at least until then, luxuriant field of wildflowers.
She then watched as the Texians, thinking they were going home, were mowed down by the Mexican soldiers. Very sad, actually. As the Mexicans were marching back, having done their dastardly deed, two of them came over to Mom. One handed her his rifle and then they posed behind her for a photo. A smile as big as Texas graced her beautiful face. And I think I heard her say, "Those Mexicans weren't so bad."
Monday morning, it was time to bid adieu to Goliad. As we backed out of her drive, Suzi came running out to the car carrying a package. It was a gift for Mom - the large concrete Texas paving stone which now sits grandly on her Santa Fe patio.

TrueCar is creating a new way to shop for autos with its price aggregation service. As it grows its business, the company needed a way to compile and analyze car sales data, choose the most successful Web-based marketing efforts and forecast car sales – important to getting its name out to both dealers and the public. The company initially relied on another solution, but switched to SAS® Office Analytics for Midsize Business to better manage data and create fast, accurate forecasts. TrueCar reduced per-click costs by 50 percent, with a 100 percent increase in profitability, by using SAS to analyze which websites – and ads – delivered buyers. Search campaign revenues grew by 300 percent.
We work with a lot of data, and we need to analyze it quickly and effectively. SAS helps us do all that very efficiently.

text: DD is 8 months old, so this is a little early to be asking, but I am trying to mentally prepare myself. My goal has always been to breastfeed for 12 months, and for personal reasons I would still like to wean around that time. My family is supposed to be moving across the country (6 days of 10+ hours in the car) when DD is 15 months old. Is it crazy to try and wean her before that? I guess I am wondering if it is going to be easier to be able to breastfeed while we are driving across the country, and how difficult making sure she has milk or whatever else she needs is going to be if she is weaned. She is our only child, so I have no experience traveling with a baby who does not nurse. I really do not want to continue breastfeeding at that point, but I am also worried that I am going to regret weaning on day 4 of crying in the car. What would you do? How hard is it to travel with a weaned child? Any other thoughts? Thanks!

As the general managers meetings wrap up this week, bits and pieces of informaton trickle through as they set the stage for the upcoming Winter meetings. This year they hold the gathering in Indianapolis (a far cry from last year, Las Vegas). Anyway, I digress. The GMs, on the surface, didn't get a whole lot done but you have to think that feelers were put out and there will soon be some action. On my "Santa" list- 1. Roy Halladay 2. Jason Bay 3. Adrian Gonzalez 4. Matt Holliday (if I don't get #2). We did learn what members of the 2009 team will be back and which won't. Victor Martinez, Tim Wakefield and now Jason Varitek will all be in the fold in 2010. Varitek and his greatly diminished skills will serve as a back-up to Martinez. Not good news for the likes of George Kottaras, Dusty Brown or Mark Wagner. Tek took the 3 million dollar option to remain a Red Sox captain. Think about it. 3 million dollars to catch once or twice a week. He will no doubt, continue to tutor the pitchers and anyone smart enough to listen. His preparation is legendary, both physically and mentally. Where else can you make three mill to hang out with your buddies, take some batting practice and sign some autographs? Let me know where I can enlist. To be fair, he has earned it. A two-time World Series champ, a gold glove, an All Star and the long-time "C" on his chest. Varitek has the respect of teammates and opponents. And I know I mentioned it before, but 3 million to catch a couple of games a week. Nice work if you can get it. Now I don't think the Sox look at him as a charity case. Not by any means. They have proven (a la New England Patriots and their "Belichick-ian" style) that there is absolutely no room for sentiment. This is a business. Obviously the Red Sox feel that there is some value in bringing him back for another year. I think it's a good move. You know exactly what you're getting. The pitchers trust him. He is still solid defensively (the arm notwithstanding) and he has occasional power still. A very very solid (and a little expensive) reserve. Tek had to swallow his pride last year when he turned down ten million to go to arbitration and wound up making 5 million for the season., He is already used to being paid at or near this level (poor guy!) As I mentioned, the young catchers in the organization suffer and it postpones the inevitable passing of the baton to the man I am certain will be the next captain of the Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia. Other things will start happening and they will start soon. After all it is exactly two weeks before Thanksgiving. Anybody know where Theo Epstein is eating this year?
5 Comments
Hopefully he's celebrating Thanksgiving with Bay this year.
Steve, while I wouldn't mind earning that $3 million either, I doubt it's enough to prevent the Red Sox from doing the right thing by their young catchers. If they think one of them is better prepared or more talented, I don't think they'd let Tek's salary stand in the way. I'm a great admirer of Jason Varitek's accomplishments, and I don't think that's diminished by acknowledging his decline. I think he'll be the backup out of spring training. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the pups forces him out midyear.
A talented player who comes up from Pawtuckett or another Minor League affiliate and shines at the Major League level can be just as valuable as a decent free agent acquisition. Obviously you have a much closer perspective of the talents coming up in the farm system than most of us die-hard fans do. Would you be willing to make any bold predictions regarding rising stars in Boston during the 2010 season?
Hi Mr. Hyder,
I'm glad to see that Varitek is back for another year as well. Despite his diminishing offensive skills, he will be great to have around to bring along the younger pitchers. He will undoubtedly be valuable during spring training, and as you said he will be able to offer advice throughout the year, and I think plenty of people will be eager to listen.

President Barack Obama has added his voice, virtually, to the Wisconsin recall election fight, sending out a timely tweet backing Democrat Tom Barrett.
The president wrote late Monday on Twitter, the social media site for micro-blogging: "It's Election Day in Wisconsin tomorrow, and I'm standing by Tom Barrett. He'd make an outstanding governor. -bo"
Barrett is seeking to replace Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday's recall election, which was sparked by Walker's successful push to strip public sector unions of most of their collective bargaining rights.
While many prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, campaigned for Barrett, Obama mostly kept his distance.
White House press secretary Jay Carney was asked Monday why the president wasn't campaigning for Barrett. Carney said Obama "supports him" and hopes he wins.

Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: Excellent shoe, especially for the price. I broke the shoe in the first time I played with it and didn't get
any blisters. Amazingly, my knees don't hurt either after playing on hard courts, which has not been the case for a long time with
my former shoes. This is after playing three separate times and it may have nothing to do with the shoes, but I'm loving them.
From: Chris, 3/13
Comments: Great shoe - very comfrtable with great support. I will stock up on these at such a great price.
From: Marcos, 2/13
Comments: Best shoes I've ever tried! They look really great, are very comfortable, good support, excellent
durability, and very light and fast feeling on the court. The reactive arch technology is great too, you can really notice the extra
spring and response while you run. I wish they still made these, they look better than the new Raptor IVs. Although with the
discounted price you can't beat the great deal.
From: Jason, 2/13
Comments: By far the best tennis shoes I have ever worn in all of my years of playing. David Ferrer probably covers
more court space than any other player on the planet. It is no wonder that he wears these shoes. They are fantastic.
From: James, 2/13
Comments: These are shoes that do not disappoint. The shoe is very comfortable with leather uppers, yet the
plastic and narrow fit guarantee top stability. The shoe is well ventilated and doesn't heat up easily. The soles feel a little thicker if
you've used the Babolat Propulse, but it is still thin enough and durable. The only issue is that the toe area can get scuffled and
weakened over time, but it's nothing to really worry about.
From: Asher, 10/12
Comments: They feel good out of the box and seem great for speed. I seemed to be running faster with them, so
fast I pulled a muscle. I'm sticking with my Prince Scream for comfort but would still recommend these over Nike. I'm disappointed
because I like Lotto clothes.
From: Anon, 9/12
Comments: The best tennis shoe I've ever worn. It has great traction on clay, superb fit, good arch support, great
lateral stability and the reactive arch idea is no gimmick. This shoe is the Goods!
From: Byrne, 7/12
Comments: So far I really like these shoes! I have been using Asics for a few years because they were
the only shoes I could find that offered good support for playing on hard courts. Tried other shoes and my feet would
hurt afterwards playing on hard courts. Asics seemed like the only ones I could use on hard courts. But then I gave
these new Lottos a try and have been pleasantly surprised so far. The play really well on hard courts and my feet don't
bother me afterwards. I'm a bit older now so good support on hard courts is important for me. These had a minimal
break in period. But once they are, they work fantastic. May buy more of these if they continue to hold up well on hard
courts. I highly recommend trying them if you are looking for a good hard court shoe.

Comments: These are great shoes and I think they will work well for a wide range of people. I
have narrow feet and I found the shoes comfortable and a good fit. There are two things that
really stand out about this shoe. The first is the shape of the show. They have a wider toe
box which provides room for your toes to stretch out and they are narrower in the mid-
section providing good support and a snug feeling. The second thing that stands out is that
they feel light but stable on the court. I think the reactive arch technology really works and
makes the shoes feel very agile. The best thing I can say about them is that I never think
about what's on my feet when I play in them.

Comments: Excellent shoe. Slight break in on right foot as
these shoes tend to be on the narrow side. But traction, movement on court are incredible. Cannot comment on sole
durability, but coming from Nike Courtballistec 3.3's I can't imagine it could be any worse. Better center of gravity as
Have played with Barricades and Courtballistecs, these are better in every way.

The family who crafted beautiful artisan breads for seven years in the Upper Delaware region before selling their successful business—Beach Lake Bread—has found themselves back at the ovens once more.
Brian and Lisa Woods thought their baking days were over when they sold the wholesale business which then began operating out of a retail site in Honesdale. But as fate would have it, their path would lead back to the very place where it began—in Beach Lake.
Even before Beach Lake Bread officially opened in 2003, the couple operated a bakery in 1988 on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY, the Catskill Cookie Company, which closed after roughly a year. Brian, who works in the bakery industry, later became interested in artisan bread-making after taking a course. The first breads were made in the couple's basement in 2001.
In 2003, they built a small barn next to their home, which houses the baking operation and features specialized steam tube ovens that lend the loaves their special characteristics. With the help of their children, Ian and Jamie, the company continued to expand. After years of increasing growth, the couple felt they needed a break. Brian accepted a job in California and Lisa was preparing to join him there following Jamie's graduation from high school. But another job offer came, based in New Jersey, and Brian moved back.
With the economy failing, the new owner of Beach Lake Bread was ready to relinquish it and the Woods ultimately decided to resume their operation. The pair is currently producing roughly 300 loaves weekly, plus assorted pies, cookies, scones, quick breads and brownies. Popular favorites are the Rustic loaf and Bread with Saints (raisins and walnuts). A new bread, a pure sourdough made without yeast, will soon be available.
The couple admits it's not the life for everyone. The process involves arising at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning following preparations on Friday afternoons and concludes when the barn shop closes at 4 p.m. But both agree—the best parts of the job are the relationships that have formed with customers whose appreciation for the high quality baked goods keeps them coming back.
Since both have other jobs, the Woods plan to manage growth this time around by limiting distribution to local accounts in Wayne County (the Milanville General Store, Alpine Wurst and Meat House, Clark's Sunrise Market, Nature's Grace and the Mill Market) and Sullivan County, NY (Callicoon Wine Merchant and River Brook Farm).
The Woods will take special orders as well and deliver those on Saturdays at these locations. The breads are also served at various regional restaurants and fans can still obtain their fix at the barn on Milanville Road from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
