Grad school - advice for when the program is cancelled after acceptance
Asking for your ideas about what it'd be smart and reasonable to ask for from the program director if your chosen graduate school cancelled a program after sending out acceptances. I got word less than a month from when the program would have begun. There is the potential that this program would start two semesters from now. A phone conversation with their team confirmed that my acceptance would carry over, but I am not confident that this program will start on that timeline, and am applying to other programs, mostly for a fall start.

Noise Cancellation Apps?
Why are there no decent noise cancellation apps available? Lots of white noise apps, but not much in the way of noise cancellation. Shouldnt it be possible to take advantage of the powerful processors of modern cellphones and perhaps pair with a pair of headphones and compete with the specialty headphones or ear buds?
Workplace policies on cancelling work travel for medical reasons?
I will likely need to cancel a work-related conference trip next week for medical reasons. Can I expect reimbursement for the money I've already spent? Bonus: my cancellation will be for mental health reasons, documented by my team of doctors. Does your workplace have policies around this? I am in the state of Massachusetts.
What do you know about Active Noise Cancellation?
The vehicle I'm considering purchasing has Active Noise Cancelation, a feature that apparently can't be turned off. I'm worried that it might be disturbing to my dogs but don't really understand how it works. I have heard people complain about feeling like they need to pop their ears when using the Bose noise canceling headphones and wonder what is at work there. Can anyone shed any light on this? I'll put the manufacturer's description of the system inside. [more inside]

Gym annual fee after cancellation
I cancelled my gym membership effective today, and I have signed proof. However, they claimed that I will owe them an annual fee tomorrow October 1. Can I dispute this with a chargeback? I told them I was not paying it, and they said it had already been arranged. My contract says the annual fee is charged October 1.

Canceling an appointment on short notice. Charge a fee or scot free?

My New Strategy: Advice on a relatively small student loan?
I have always paid for my school out of pocket. I need to pay for about $3,000 in school fees so I can try and finish my BA. I did the FAFSA, but my school has me on financial aid cancellation because I haven't made 'significant progress' and completed my degree in the time allotted. How do I find a good, reasonable loan so I can get to the finish line and not have much debt? [more inside]
Looking for Data Center headphones
I work in a data center, and when amongst the racks the noise is pretty tremendous - gotta lean in towards the person you're talking to just to hear them, ear plugs are a must for any long-term work if you don't have other coverage. So I'm looking for good headphones in the 100-150 dollar range that have either active or very effective passive noise cancellation/reduction. The restriction - no earbuds, I hate 'em. Over-ear cans are the way to go. The Sennheiser 280 is a classic standby, but I can't find any specifics on how much white-noise type sound they block. The 429/439s look pretty swank as well, but once again, can't find any details beyond nebulous claims of 'sound isolation'. Anyone in a similar noise environment have recommendations?
Should I cancel my date?
I arranged a date with one guy, then had another absolutely fantastic date in the interim, & really want to focus on that. Should I cancel the other date? [more inside]
"I really want to go out on a date with you. How about the third of Never?"
Since I've hit my mid-late 20s, a pattern has developed: A woman and I express mutual interest; I ask for her number or she gives it to me on her own; a first date is arranged; at the last minute, she cancels it. I know this isn't unheard of, but it's happening so often and so consistently that it's making me paranoid and demoralized, and I'm not sure how to proceed. [more inside]
Weaseling out of a sale is uncoool
What should I do about a jewelry company trying to back out of a sale which I already paid for? I ordered online a small piece of custom gold jewelry this week, paying the price coded into the seller's own website.

Can an airline cancel a series of tickets due to a no show?
Airline "no show" cancellation filter: my friend and his family missed a flight last night from Montreal to London.

How to deal with cancelled international flights?
The Great Blizzard of Christmas 2010 has severely derailed my plans (love snow as I do). I was supposed to fly from Newark to Hong Kong on Dec. 26th at 3:30, arrive in HK at 8:30pm Dec 27th, then fly Air Asia Hong Kong-Bangkok on the morning of Dec. 28th with a connecting flight immediately following from Bangkok - Luang Prabang, Laos. Newark is supposed to get a foot plus of snow tomorrow. I am feeling a little screwed. Is anyone out there skilled at making the best of this kind of situation?

strauss without singing
Strauss Without Singing - I'm a huge fan of Strauss' orchestra compositions but dislike the opera singing. I know this will make me sound unclassy but I have to ask: is there an orchestra recording of "Four Last Songs" that is just the orchestration and no voice? I've looked and can not find. And additionally, if I wanted to do it m'self - what software/hardware exists to either cancel out voice from music, and music from voice? THANKS AS ALWAYS.

Regardless of what has been said previously, the DT880 do not isolate. Sure, they isolate slightly more than some fully open designs do but if you need isolation they will not satisfy you. There is not much difference between a semi-open headphone and a fully open headphone in regards to isolation and leakage. In both cases the people around you can hear what you are listening to and you can hear what is going on around you. When you are listening to music the noises around you are hard to hear regardless of whether the headphone is isolating slightly more than a comparable fully open design would. And the noise that leaks out of these headphones isn't very loud so a slight difference in that quantity is essentially meaningless. We're talking about tiny drivers sitting next to your ears so even if you don't isolate them at all they will still sound quiet to someone standing a few feet from you. Very slightly decreasing that makes very little difference.
If you need isolation do not get open or semi-open headphones.

Princess Baby, Night-Nightby Karen Katz
Poor Princess Baby. It's bedtime, but she isn't sleepy. "Time for bed," her parents call. "But I need one more minute, please," Princess Baby replies, again and again and again. After all, there is so much a princess baby needs to do. Pajamas need to be put on, toys need to be put away, the perfect book needs to be chosen, and her beloved subjects need to brush their teeth! It's a very busy time in Princess Baby's room. Young readers and listeners will want to climb into their own beds when our pint-sized heroine finally pulls up the covers and goes "night-night."
Want more Princess Baby? Don't miss the original Princess Baby and Princess Baby on the Go!
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
In this successor to Princess Baby (Random, 2008), the feisty, independent-minded heroine is asked various questions during her preparations for bedtime. "Princess Baby, did you pick up all your toys?" "Yes, I picked them up," she responds, and is shown cuddling all of her stuffed animals at once. Although Princess Baby protests that she is not tired, a satisfying conclusion shows her asleep on the floor after reading books to her stuffed animals and tucking them in. As in the earlier title, fuchsia and other rosy tones dominate the illustrations. Purchase if the first book has a following.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
"The overall effect is eminently appealing to young readers and princess fans alike. This sparkly, lighthearted tale is bound to enchant hopeful young ladies-in-waiting."—Kirkus Reviews

My little girl and I love reading this book together...Great for roll playing too. It is fun and easy for my 3 year old to read, it's her favorite book of all.
My daughter loves this book! It's great for bedtime and she LOVES anything to do with princesses!!
This is a wonderful bedtime book for any little girl that she will want to read over and over again!
This is such a cute story. And it totally reminds me of my niece. I am sure that my daughter will be just like the charactor soon enough. It's already become a favorite bedtime story.
This book is an excellent example of Karen Katz's endearing stories. I have almost all of her books, but Princess Baby Night-Night is THE book that I read to my 21 month old daughter every night, even if we indulge her with other stories. Its become part of our bedtime routine...
I started buying my niece these books shortly after she was a year old beginning with Counting Kisses by Karen Katz. With her love of princesses, she absolutely loved the first book, Princess Baby. This book is a sequel to that one, and just as enchanting. Princess Baby, Night-Night, is a story about the Princess Baby getting ready for bed, as she brushes her teeth and her dolls and stuffed animals' teeth, cleans up her toys, etc..For those of us without children, this is complete explanation of why it takes so long to put one's children to bed. I would definitely recommend this book!
My little girl is convinced she is a princess, and while I didn't like the original book as much because she seemed whiny, this one is cute. Each page the mother or father (it's not identified as I remember) asks the little girl if she's doing one of the steps for going to bed, and each step she says yes because she's helping her toys get ready for bed. It's very cute and we had lots of fun reading and talking about it.

The Walt Disney Company and Jeffrey Katzenberg, its former studio chief, announced the settlement today of a rancorous lawsuit filed by Mr. Katzenberg that had opened a curtain on the lives of Hollywood moguls whose egos, financial bonanzas and personal furies are usually kept veiled.
It was an abrupt ending to a three-year legal battle that raised questions about the leadership and succession problems at Disney under its chairman and chief executive, Michael D. Eisner. And it brought to a close the glare of publicity that had both distracted and embarrassed two of the most powerful men in the American entertainment industry.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. In his lawsuit, Mr. Katzenberg initially said that Disney owed him at least $250 million in bonuses, but he later raised the figure to $580 million. Disney had already paid him $117 million. Entertainment industry lawyers said that Mr. Katzenberg could eventually receive at least $200 million, including what had already been paid to him. And the settlement might well be far more than that, they said. But Disney executives, as well as Mr. Katzenberg and his lawyer, Bertram Fields, declined to discuss financial details.
''I'm relieved to be able to close this chapter and put it behind me,'' Mr. Katzenberg said.
Similarly, Mr. Eisner called the settlement acceptable and said the ''time has come to put this matter behind us and to focus on our new business initiatives.''Continue reading the main story
The courtroom battle involved combatants who had once been friends and who together had built the Disney empire. By all accounts, the reputation of both moguls, as well as their companies, suffered because of the personal attacks and financial disclosures resulting from the lawsuit.
Mr. Fields confronted Mr. Eisner on the witness stand with evidence that the Disney chief had once said he hated Mr. Katzenberg and had disparaged him as a ''little midget'' and ''the end of my pom-pom.'' Disney, on the other hand, tried to damage Mr. Katzenberg, contending the live-action films made during his reign had lost $231 million -- a point Mr. Katzenberg disputed.
Even more significant, the public wrangling underscored Mr. Eisner's apparent inability to groom an heir; it is believed that no successor has yet been selected.
Mr. Katzenberg left Disney in September 1994 after Mr. Eisner, who had heart surgery, declined to name him Disney's No. 2 executive to replace Frank G. Wells, who had died in a helicopter crash in April of that year. Mr. Eisner, who is 57, named Michael Ovitz, a well-known Hollywood agent, as Disney president in late 1995. But Mr. Ovitz was ousted in December 1996, walking away with about $100 million. He recently began a new talent-management company.
The fact that Mr. Ovitz earned so much money even though his tenure was considered a debacle left Mr. Katzenberg, who filed his initial suit in Los Angeles Superior Court in April 1996, seething and intensified his efforts against Disney.
''What does all this say about succession at Disney?'' asked one of Hollywood's top lawyers. ''The fact is, Jeffrey was practically groomed from childhood to take over and didn't get it. It's like 'King Lear.' ''
The bickering had become so intense that in the end, it required two intermediaries who were not directly involved in the dispute to resolve it. The final agreement was shaped over the Fourth of July weekend by David Geffen, Mr. Katzenberg's partner at Dreamworks SKG, the movie studio they founded with Steven Spielberg, and by Stanley Gold, a longtime Disney board member who is close to Mr. Eisner and a longtime business associate of Roy Disney, the Disney board's vice chairman.
Mr. Geffen and Mr. Gold met at the Geffen home in Malibu, Calif., for less than an hour on Monday and spoke numerous times on the phone on Tuesday before reaching the agreement. Mr. Geffen also declined to discuss the details. ''It's the perfect definition of a settlement,'' he said. ''Both parties felt they didn't get what they wanted. Disney paid more than it wanted, and Jeffrey got less than he wanted.''
Why Disney settled now was unclear. But several lawyers not connected to the case speculated that Mr. Eisner was seeking to avoid an appearance next week at the hearing. His first appearance in May proved a public-relations disaster for the Disney chairman, especially when he was confronted with the midget comment.
Moreover, Mr. Eisner and Disney were placed in a difficult legal and public position because of the lawsuit. Mr. Katzenberg argued that Disney had failed to pay him a large bonus that was called for in his contract.
Under the bonus plan, Mr. Katzenberg was scheduled to get 2 percent of the profits of movies and television shows created when he was in charge, including the full-length animated features ''Lion King,'' ''Beauty and the Beast'' and ''Aladdin,'' as well as gains from Broadway and other theatrical spinoffs, video sales and theme parks and merchandising. To keep Mr. Katzenberg's bonus as low as possible, Disney was almost compelled to low ball the amount of money the company would earn. The agreement reached on Tuesday was calculated using the 2 percent formula, but the figure awarded to Mr. Katzenberg was a fixed sum, lawyers close to the negotiations said.
The payment to Mr. Katzenberg is not expected to affect Disney's earnings. And Wall Street greeted the announcement with a yawn: Disney closed at $28.0625, up only 12.5 cents. But the legal battle served as a considerable distraction at the highest levels of Disney and Dreamworks.
''Jeffrey was so distracted that it was drawing attention away from Dreamworks,'' said one lawyer who knows Mr. Katzenberg. Mr. Katzenberg and the top lawyer at Dreamworks, Helene Hahn, sat side by side almost daily at the hearing.
At the same time, top executives at Disney, including the counsel, Louis Meisinger, and Sanford M. Litvack, a senior vice president, were deeply immersed in the case. ''It's good that it's behind the company,'' said Jeffrey Logsdon, a financial analyst specializing in entertainment at the Siedler Companies. ''Wall Street hates uncertainty. And once the financial impact is buried somewhere in income statements and balance sheets, it'll be good riddance.''
''This has been an embarrassing situation to have the personal side of corporate governance so publicly portrayed,'' Mr. Logsdon said.Continue reading the main story

Design Flanders promotes contemporary, high-quality and innovative design from Flanders. The organisation is part of Enterprise Flanders. Firstly, Design Flanders aims to help designers in Flanders to grow as entrepreneurs. It also aims to encourage companies and governments to incorporate design in their operations. This is how Design Flanders contributes to the success of the Government of Flanders's Flanders in Action plan and New Industrial Policy. Design Flanders strives to achieve recognition for Flanders as a design region.
Design Flanders is responsible for promoting contemporary and high-quality Flemish design to companies, governments and the general public. It does so with the conviction that Flanders boasts an abundance of design talent. Whether it relates to industrial design, ceramics, graphic design or jewellery design: we have global players in all these disciplines. This formidable talent deserves to be promoted, so that Flemish design secures the necessary impact and appeal both in Belgium and abroad.
The organisation focuses on contemporary design. Our region has a strong design tradition, but Design Flanders wants to focus on today's designs, which are being created right now and which are relevant to our industry, economy and society today. This is why we try and showcase tomorrow's classics today.
Design Flanders does not compromise on quality. We all harbour a certain amount of creativity, but few of us succeed in incorporating design every single day with consummate dedication. We support designers that are constantly innovative, surprising and original, who are driven and who passionately devote themselves to their discipline each and every day. They improve products and services and continuously search for solutions to diverse problems. In doing so they provide our economy with a necessary boost and ensure that our society is all the more agreeable. These designers are also able to surprise us, to make us reflect and dream. They help shape our society.
Design Flanders collects and presents this quality design for you. We do so via this website, but our other activities also aim to offer a platform for Flanders's design talent. We want to convince you of the added value that Flemish design offers, whether you are a private individual looking for a unique piece of jewellery or furniture, a company seeking innovative product development or an organisation that wants to rethink its processes from a more design-oriented perspective.
Design Flanders also acts as a point of contact. You can approach us if you are on the lookout for a designer to support you in developing new products, improving your services, designing your corporate identity or decorating your premises. Naturally, designers may also address their questions to us. Sometimes we call on the expertise of our colleagues at Enterprise Flanders. This enables designers to approach us with questions related to intellectual property or they can make use of the advantages offered by the SME Portfolio (Kmo-portefeuille). This also enables the design sector to become more professional and entrepreneurial.

The shower head in your shower is the main device for not only making your shower functional, but it should be efficient and enjoyable too. Without the shower head you have no shower. Many homes have a basic or a lower grade shower head installed in the showers. These typically don't offer any special features that help create that awesome shower experience, rejuvenate your mind and body or even help you save money on your water bill each month.
Shopping for the perfect shower head requires you to put some thought into several issues. Before you rush into buying a new shower head, only to get it home and find out it's totally wrong for you or your shower, here are some tips on what to look for in a shower head, you can find out more.
Primary purposes of a shower head
First, consider the multiple purposes of a shower head. The best shower heads should fulfill the following purposes and knowing what they are before you buy will help ensure you're buying the perfect one.
• Delivers a strong and adequate stream of water
Lack of full coverage of water during a shower can be frustrating.
You turn and maneuver yourself under the stream of water to get rinsed or spend most of your shower trying to stay warm under a partial or trickling stream of water. Be sure your shower head gives you a strong, full stream of water.
• Water use reduction
Everyone is becoming energy conscientious. Saving on water usage, especially in big families, is important. Older 5-gpm shower heads use a lot of water. You can save on your energy bill by installing a 2.5-gpm shower head, or for those who want even more savings, many 1.5-gpm shower heads will give you a high powered stream while reducing water consumption.
• Water stays hot
Your shower head should keep your hot water hot while it hits your skin. The best shower heads for this are those made using proprietary technology. They increase pressure without causing the water to cool as it sprays out while older models using aeration cause the water to cool too quickly due to the increase in pressure it produces.
• Easy to manage
Your shower head should be easy to install, adjust during use and maintain, such as clean and fix.
It should be well constructed and durable so that it lasts many years.
Personal preferences
Personal preferences mean choosing features that suit your personal needs and wants. Before you shop you may want to think about your options and your needs to see which features will be important to you. Some of the most common features people like to choose from include:
• Handheld model
A handheld shower head is more flexible in its ability to accommodate different needs. It gives you more options for showering. You can hold it and aim it wherever you need, including using it to help you clean your shower. They are also very useful for those who like to wash their pet in the shower or those who may need to sit on a shower chair when showering. Handheld shower heads give you more control.
• Spray pattern
Shower heads come in an array of models that offer different spray patterns from a wide spray like a heavy rain shower to a strong, invigorating spray for sore muscles, or a trickling pattern for a gentle or misty shower. You can also get an adjustable head so you can get any type of spray at the turn of the shower head.
• Height
Depending on how tall you are, you'll need to get a shower head that fits your shower and height. If you are tall, you obviously don't want a low hanging shower head that requires you to duck to get wet. Measure your shower height where the shower head will hang and see what height will fit you best before you buy. Extension arms are also available for those harder to reach shower heads, such as you'd find in a shower with high ceilings.
No matter what you're looking for, there is a shower head that will match your needs and desires. The more you know about shower heads before you purchase one, the better the chances of you finding the perfect match so that the next shower you take, will be the shower you've been waiting for.

Comments: After Prince changed the manufacturing location for there T22s, which I had worn for years (which
are now made to narrow for my foot), I thought I'd give these a try. These have been a excellent replacement, and I'm on
my 2nd pair. The durability seems to be about twice as good as the current T22s, just starting to wear after 3 weeks, and I
am a big time toe dragger. They are comfortable and fit true to size. I hope they keep this design for awhile.
From: Glen, 8/15
Comments: Just started wearing this shoe this week. By far one of the best shoes I have ever had. The shoe
fits true to size, is very comfortable and has great traction as well. I'm truly surprised more players don't wear this shoe!
From: William, 7/15
Comments: Wow! After K-Swiss retired the Ultrascendor that I had been wearing for years, I struggled to find
something that fit my foot comfortably and lasted. This is the shoe! They fit like a glove and required no break-in. I have a
high in-step and need good arch support, this shoe seems to fit the bill. I play singles 3-4 times a week and have had
these for 3 weeks now and durability seems excellent so far. This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever played in and I
hope that they don't get retired too soon! (I've already ordered two more pairs just in case!)
From: Jeff, 6/15
Comments: Loved the previous version of the Power Cushion shoe, but this is not quite up to the same
standard of excellence. Probably the most significant change is the outsole is noticeably wider, particularly around the
forefoot area. I suppose this is intended to increase stability, but the down side is I sometimes catch the edge and worry
about stumbling when I am split-stepping or going for a quick change of direction. The overall fit doesn't feel quite as
cushioned, and I am surprised that the I have worn the outsole out almost completely flat around the ball of my foot in less
than 20 hours of play. Not a bad shoe, but definitely makes me miss the prior version.
From: John, 6/15
Comments: I have a hard time finding comfortable tennis shoes. I gave these a try due to the more spacious
box, and after wearing them around the house a couple hours the shoes felt great. I have played 3 times in them and they
felt comfortable. Traction is very good too! I would buy another pair. I'm a recreational doubles player.
From: Pete, 5/15
Comments: Wow! What a great shoe. I tried these after reading other reviews and I couldn't be more pleased.
A long
time Vapor wearer because of the great fit and low profile. The Vapors really lacked in durable cushioning; lasting about
month. Still because of the nice feel and light weight, they were my shoe of choice. These Power Cushion Pros have just as
nice a
low profile fit and are very plush compared to the Vapors. The durability after a month is better than new Vapors. If
more like the Nike Breath Free model from a few years ago.
From: dblsplayer, 3/15
Comments: Switched to these from Nike. They are the most stable and comfortable tennis shoes I have ever
had the
pleasure to wear.
From: Ron, 3/15
Comments: Very solid shoe. Nice cushioning. Good stability. Good fit, even the heel for me (yes, I read the
review and was paying close attention to that aspect). No post-play pain. I took a chance on these, as I usually purchase
with a durability guarantee, and still don't know about wear, but they show zero wear after the first session. I feel quicker
in them
than in the Barricade 7 and 8, and my toenails enjoyed them much more as they didn't ram into the tips of the shoes and
bruised. That said, as I get older I just find shoes with insufficient cushioning painful (pretty much all adidas for me now).
are just as stable for me and less painful on all fronts. For what it's worth, I have narrow feet with high arches. I also liked
Lotto Raptor IV (but the traction on the PCPs seems better) and the Babolat Propulse III (but not the total lack of forefoot
and cushioning).
From: Kurt, 1/15
Comments: I love these shoes! I have been a long-time wearer of adidas Barricades, but my feet have some
problems and I wanted to find something better. I have also tried Nike Vapor 9, Nike Ballistec and Asics Gel Res 3, but
none of
those worked well for me. These Yonex Cushion Pros seem to be much better for the minor problem with my big toe. They
very comfortable, fit extremely well and provide great stability. The cushioning and arch support seem perfect for my foot.
Although as some have noted, these may be slightly high off the court, but I am sensitive to that issue and these do not
feel too
high to me. I was hesitant about trying Yonex shoes, but I am so glad I did. (Thanks, TW and fellow TW reviewers for the
good info
on these). If you have any doubts about your current shoes, give these a try.
From: Bryan, 12/14
Comments: I have always used Nike tennis shoes. Just love the brand and its history. My last models were:
Zoom Vapor 9 Tour, Nike Vapor Court, Nike Cage Court. The basic models started to give me heel pain. It turns out I have
fasciitis. I am a huge Nike fan, however, after visiting the doctor, he recommended to change shoes and recommended
Yonex. I
was going to buy the Asics Gel Res 5 model, but doctor's orders are orders. I ended up buying this Yonex model and they
great. The heel cushioning is superb. It has more heel support and cushioning than Asics (the Gel Res 5 feels much lighter
this model). Unfortunately, Nike doesn't even come close in terms of heel support. I didn't feel any heel pain throughout my
games. The feet seem to stand a bit higher than other models. But so far, I really liked the shoes because it is doing a great
job in
protecting and healing my feet. Highly recommend for people looking for heel comfort and especially whoever has plantar
fasciitis. Maybe when I get better, I will go back to Nike, otherwise, I might have to change my entire brand outfit from head
toe. Cheers and happy feet!
From: Peter, 9/14
Comments: I have exclusively worn Yonex shoes for years. This model feels like it runs about a 1/2 size larger
than previous models. I'm not sure what happened but the snug, form fitting feel previous Yonex shoes have had is not the
with this one. Like others here who have worn Yonex before, this is a far cry from the quality and fit that I'm used to from
Still a very good shoe but no where near what they have been previously.
From: Doug, 8/14
Comments: Very dissappointed with this model compared to the previous Yonex shoe, which I loved. The arch
support and lateral support are lacking for those with high arch, the heel is too wide, the cushioning is not as good as the
previous shoe. Can't believe Yonex ruined a great shoe, they lost my business for sure.
From: Jack, 8/14
Comments: I love these shoes. Purchased a pair about a month ago after reading an article in Tennis
This shoe received the highest rating by far from a Doctor, men and women participants. I have tried Barricades, Propulse
4 and
many others. I play 3 to 4 times a week on hard surfaces. I can not see any signs of wear. Typically the soles of my shoes
go first. I
like the wider fit and the traction is amazing.
From: Clarence, 7/14
Comments: I just received my new Yonex Power Cushion Pro shoes. The logo is done in a very elegant
manner that
I have not seen in all the brands of tennis shoes I have used before: adidas, Nike, Babolat. This is my third pair of Yonex
This one feels different to the previous version of this shoe. The one thing that I noticed as soon as I put the shoe on, was
the toe box on this Orange model is roomier than in the previous model. My foot does not feel that snug anymore. The
version was very snug (not painful or unconfortable). To compare the Yonex shoes with other brands, I will mention that I
used to
play with Babolat Propulse before switching to Yonex. I had 10 pairs of Babolats. I always thought they were great for
moving on
the court because they were light, but being over 50 years old, I noticed that my aggressive movement was making my feet
hurt a
lot. In my opinion, the Babolats were not cushioned enough for me. I am 4.5 player, that always takes the ball on the rise,
plays aggressively. I switched to the Yonex because I was looking for a light shoe that would not compromise my style and
movement, but was a little bit softer and better at protecting my feet. Your priorities change with age..don't worry..you will
understand sooner or later. We are all aging, and hopefully when your time comes, when you still feel young in your mind,
your body is starting to feel the effects of all the fun you are having on the court, Yonex will be there with the solution to
problem. This shoe has extended my fun. The shoe looks youthful yet sophisticated, with the colors on the right place. It
is soft.
It has cushion, yet it is light enough for a 4.5 player of 55 years to hit his shots, run after every ball, play serve and volley,
come to
the net, and impress his fellow players with some good plays here and there. Thanks Yonex for keeping the fun alive. If you
haven't realized by now, I highly recommend this shoe.
From: Enrique, 7/14
Comments: I have worn several shoes, so far these are the best shoes I've purchased. They offer great
without losing responsiveness on the court!
From: Joe, 6/14
Comments: 3 months later and this shoes has not seen much wear. I am surprised the outsole can last this
Everything I said previously I still agree with. Perhaps one teeny tiny issue. The design is not hot. It reminds me of the
Breathe 2010, and Adidas Adizero Feather III. To be honest, in person, these shoes don't look too hot. Personally, I prefer
previous model. But nothing is perfect. This shoes still gets 4 out 5 stars (minus 1 star for recycled design) in my books.
From: GS, 5/14
Comments: I normally wear Prince T22s in a size 10. I ordered these in 10 to try. I haven't played in them yet,
as far as fit, they feel good. Definitely a lot of room in the toebox for wide feet. If you have trouble finding shoes with
room for your pinky toes, give these a try. They feel nice and cushy, but lighter than my T22s, which never exactly felt
sporty. It's
true, the Yonex shoes ride high on my bony inner ankles, yet the shoe does not seem stiff on that high collar, so fingers
crossed it
won't be uncomfortable. That has been a deal breaker with other shoes for me.
From: Charles, 5/14
Comments: Excellent shoe. Very comfortable straight out of the box. Great fit, no toe jamming! Excellent grip
(HC) and stability. Feels very light and has just perfect couchioning. Feels wider up front, however, absolutely no issues
with the
foot movement (I have about medium width foot). Two concerns: ventilation and no 6-month outsole warranty. Will
those in a few weeks when the summer moves in to Texas and in a few months when the sole wears out. If it goes out in
less than
4 months, will probably go back to the Barricades.
From: Dan, 5/14
Comments: The collar on the Yonex Power Cushion Pro shoe comes up much higher on the front my ankles
the collar on my Prince Light Speed shoe (which is no longer available). Simply walking in the Cushion Pro shoes irritated
ankles. If you have bony ankles like me, the Cushion Pro shoes may not be the best choice. You can see how much higher
collar is compared to the Fila Sentinel by using the View Large tool on the Tennis Warehouse website. I plan to exchange
Cushion Pro shoes that I purchased for the Fila Sentinels. As a final comment, I was surprised that May/June 2014 issue of
did not address collar height in its ratings of tennis shoes.
From: Dennis, 5/14
Comments: Nice shoe, but the ventilation and arch support are better in the Asics Gel Resolution.
From: Chris, 4/14
Comments: My regular size was fine for this shoe. It is unusual that I praise a pair of tennis shoes. Past shoes
have worn have been the adidas Barricade 8, Asics Gel Resolution 5, Nike Ballistics 4.3, Nike Vapor 9. I found them all to
slightly flawed. The Barricade has the toe crashing in the toe box and is excessively roomy. Gel Resolution 5 has the soft
construction that fails to resist lateral movement before warranty expires. The Nike Ballistics 4.3 with the high stiff outsole
promotes ankle rolling, and Vapor 9 with shoddy construction and lack of durability. Enter the Yonex Power Cushion Pro.
Out of
box comfort and fit. No break in required. Cushion has faster rebound and shock absorption, unlike the shoes mentioned
The return energy from the cushion gives the player more endurance. Lateral construction is superb. Minus the warranty,
shoe is a contender among the best out there.
From: GS, 2/14
Comments: Everything about this shoe is great. It is Yonex's best shoe so far, and I have worn all of the past
generations. It is lightweight, comfortable and ready to go out of the box. The stability is fantastic and the sole works on
clay and
hard courts. After wearing the shoe a few times, it molds to your foot. The toe box is slightly wider than the previous
is a good thing. I play 4-5 times a week on hard and clay courts and this shoe is a winner. I cannot find anything I don't like
this shoe. It looks great too. Highly recommended. Ordering from Tennis Warehouse is easy and the shoes arrived in 48

I was banned from collegeconfidential just for asking for some help?
Summer vacations are coming up and I am going to use some of my free time to learn physics and math, subjects that I love. In order to do that i asked collegeconfidential.com if anyone had "exclusive study materials" from their university which they could share. I mentioned that I would like to have acess to tests and exams from other universities and I could give some good materials collected by my colleagues of the physics and math course in exchange.

What books should I buy my math professors?
I recently applied to grad schools, and I got recommendations from three of my math professors. I'd like to get them all books as a "thank you" but I'm stumped on which specific titles to get two of them. The books don't have to be overtly math-related (thought it wouldn't hurt), but I think they probably shouldn't be completely orthogonal. If it helps, the book that I did buy is Michael Ruhlman's latest food book Ratio. [more inside]
Name this Mathematics Textbook series
Recently, someone described a 10-volume mathematics textbook series to me. The books were written by a single author, an engineer with a name that sounded Greek, and came with full worked solutions to every single problem, making them ideal for self study. Unfortunately, they could not remember its title, and my attempts to find it with Google and Amazon have failed. Has anyone come across this series?
Seeking reading material before jumping into a master's in applied math...
Starting this fall, I plan on taking some preparatory undergrad coursework with the intention of eventually applying to a master's program in applied mathematics. I am seeking suggestions for reading material concerning the field of mathematics in general, both as a refresher and as insight into current focus areas and work being done. As a working engineer, my situation and background might be a bit different from most considering this route... [more inside]

Help me solve this Douglas Coupland puzzle.
I am reading Douglas Coupland's new book (JPod) and I'm always a little frustrated by him. He seems to get the general vibe of nerds but is horribly off on details sometimes (in the first 50 pages, he makes reference to a "56k floppy disk"), which is agonizing. Anyway, he posits a math problem (I don't think this counts as a spoiler, I'll even omit the context and just pose the problem with page number, but if you really don't want to see anything about the book, don't read on, I guess.)

State of Quantum Physics

Liverpool FC are one of the most talked-about, supported and successful clubs in world football, and the ravenous fan-base crave a constant stream of news, information, speculation and opinion.
With that, the official club website, liverpoolfc.com, is a hugely popular page, visited by many supporters of the club each and every day.
It's not only the club site which attracts attention from people after Liverpool FC-based news though—otherwise you wouldn't be here, right?
With the advent and the improvement of the internet and technology, supporters with an opinion no longer have to roar their thoughts to a small handful of people over a pint in a busy bar, but are able to set them down by way of a blog to a potential audience of dozens, or even hundreds.
Social media, integrated hosting platforms and self-publishing, fully-customisable web templates allow the more determined (or obsessed) to go one step further and have an entire website devoted to talking about their team.
Fans are different, opinions are different—and as such everybody will have their own preference of what makes out a "good" fans' website. Readership, longevity and clarity of voice are pretty good places to start though—and let's not forget the fanzines still in circulation too, real paper-based fans' magazines which are printed and sold online or in your favourite high street shops.
Here are the top 11 Liverpool fanzines and websites.

These include common syndromes of insulin resistance that predispose to diabetes and heart disease, and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus. The combined use of linkage analysis and microarray-based expression profiling led to identification of Cd36 as an insulin resistance gene in rats and humans and to defining the genetic control points for thousands of genes across the genome in a rodent model of the metabolic syndrome. Other integrated use of genetics and genomics showed that a new type of genomic sequence variation - gene copy number variation - is a cause of autoimmune glomerulonephritis in rats and in the common human disease, systemic lupus erythematosus. More recently, the Aitman lab played a leading role in sequencing and evolutionary analysis of 27 rat genomes, leading to identification of selection pressures underlying phenotype-driven selection of cardio-metabolic disease phenotypes in rats. This was the first evolutionary analysis of artificial selection pressures underlying any disease phenotype. In the clinical setting, the group has used next generation sequencing to detect the genetic basis of NHS patients with a range of diseases including familial hypercholesterolaemia, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, nephrotic syndrome and thoracic aortic aneurysm. These studies illustrate ways in which use of genome technologies can provide new insights into the molecular basis of common diseases, and have potential for translation to advancing the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human disease.
