New Deltron 3030 Track
hory shet
Not working on my computer fuuuuuuuuuu
Is this what I think it is are am I goin crazy
Bless the fucking heavens yyyyyeeeeeeesssssssss
Hope it doesn't suck. 10 years is a Long time and neither artist has done a lot since.
not new madvillain? not interested. XD
i'm on my phone fuck
Is it good
Digging: Azizi Gibson - A New Life
This track was good but that's all. Pretty weak considering what they're capable of. Might work better in the context of the album but considering it's the teaser release... yeah it's pretty disappointing IMO.
yeah it's pretty a'ight. if the rest of the album was like this it would probably be like a 3.5 if that gives you any indication.
I never really expected them to match the debut, ten years on
Remain hopeful
I predict it'll settle on a 3.6 average rating
Not gonna be as good as self-titled, but I actually think this is quite good. Agree with "the drums sound too small" though.
Sadly, it's a pretty a boring song.
Digging: Burial Hex - The Hierophant
it's weird, it sounds so much like old deltron in pretty much every way but it seriously lacks energy. still really stoked and avoiding making expectations based on one song
That's news I welcome.
it's cool, but the beat is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy soft
i mean this needs like 1000 times more bass
Definitely lacks in the zazz department.
hopefully this is preproduction. needs some ooomph. del ruelz tho
Digging: Full of Hell - Trumpeting Ecstasy
good stuff but
the drums sound too small [2]
pretty solid. i wonder when we're gonna see a release date
I get the feeling this will feel much better in the context of the album. Production is a bit soft but
it might just be a slow burner
I remain hopeful
but the stream is only available for 24 hours
its about fucking time
and it's a pretty good song for a teaser anyways, the album should be solid no matter what if Dans producing the whole thing
youtube link for when the facebook stream goes down
Slightly disappointed with dels flow too. He just seems kinda bored and low energy. Still though I'm excited as fuck
I like it. I think it sounds like Positive Contact.
album will be gud
I like it. I think it sounds like Positive Contact.
"A new Deltron 3030 single"
Because I'm sure to go off the phrase of some sputnik user who happened to post the news article
if you don't trust sputnik users then why did you ask your question here
it's not like you'd get a response from someone who isn't a sputnik user
my question is specifically about this so it'll get a specific answer. just cos he used the word "single" in the article doesn't mean he consciously used it to mean that
I don't expect much since it has been 10 years. del's recent shit is meh.
hmm I get what you're sayin
allow me to provide you with another quote (this time from the supergroup themselves!):
"The first OFFICIAL single off of the new EVENT II album. Pay the Price. 24 Hours ONLY."
Relinquished, Del has been meh forever. 3030 is like the only thing he's ever done that's worth a shit, except maybe I Wish My Brother
agreed. 2008 I consider recent.
Here's hoping the album builds on this, it wasn't bad but they're capable of better.
Del's first 4 albums were pretty good.
Relinquished, Del has been meh forever. 3030 is like the only thing he's ever done that's worth a shit, except maybe I Wish My Brother
^ this. both sides of the brain was alright but i really dislike most of his discog
also gorillaz
both sides of the brain, and not much else
have you heard future development? some killer tracks on there
i'm not too impressed
iss goods
Digging: Thou - Tyrant
I actually like the whole subtlety

Hope Against Hope: Three Schools, One City, and the Struggle to Educate America's Childrenby Sarah Carr
Geraldlynn is a lively, astute 14-year-old. Her family, displaced by Hurricane Katrina, returns home to find a radically altered public education system. Geraldlynn's parents hope their daughter's new school will prepare her for college--but the teenager has ideals and ambitions of her own.

Geraldlynn is a lively, astute 14-year-old. Her family, displaced by Hurricane Katrina, returns home to find a radically altered public education system. Geraldlynn's parents hope their daughter's new school will prepare her for college--but the teenager has ideals and ambitions of her own.
Aidan is a fresh-faced Harvard grad drawn to New Orleans by the possibility of bringing change to a flood-ravaged city. He teaches at an ambitious charter school with a group of newcomers determined to show the world they can use science, data, and hard work to build a model school.
Mary Laurie is a veteran educator who becomes principal of one of the first public high schools to reopen after Katrina. Laurie and her staff find they must fight each day not only to educate the city's teenagers, but to keep the Walker community safe and whole.
In this powerful narrative non-fiction debut, the lives of these three characters provide readers with a vivid and sobering portrait of education in twenty-first-century America. Hope Against Hope works in the same tradition as Random Family and There Are No Children Here to capture the challenges of growing up and learning in a troubled world.
Editorial Reviews
"[A] nuanced, concrete picture focused on individuals seeking to make the reform regime work for the children in their schools. The book is a tremendous achievement, and should be required reading on all sides of these debates." Bookforum
"An important book about issues facing urban districts everywhere." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Carr's reporting is some of the best education reform journalism to date…For anyone seeking to understand U.S. education and education reform, [her] story of New Orleans is an essential place to start." The Wilson Quarterly
"[A] thoughtful narrative." School Administrator
"Carr deftly explores the complexities of school reform…[She] goes beyond New Orleans to examine the broader issues of education reform in urban areas throughout the nation as students and parents are caught in a clash of cultures and ideas on how to repair failing school systems and educate inner-city children." Booklist (starred review)
"Carr's decision to view the situation through the eyes of three people with a stake in the outcome…humanizes the story, and places Hope Against Hope in the same class as other groundbreaking books such as Jonathan Kozol's Savage Inequalities and Alex Kotlowitz's There Are No Children Here." Bookpage
"[W]ith journalistic precision and a remarkably unflinching objectivity… Carr clearly delineates the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, admirably delving into the complex racial, political and social ethos underpinning each, and melding historical context and hard statistical data along the way…[W]hat makes the book special is its focus on the experiences of the teachers, students and administrators that form the true core, the heart, of Hope Against Hope." Philadelphia City Paper
"Meticulously reported, competently written, and sometimes surprisingly intimate." Columbia Journalism Review
"It's work like this that makes journalism truly matter, that makes clear that reportage is not merely about fact and argument and theory, but about human lives in the balance. In Hope Against Hope, Sarah Carr has taken an open mind and a careful eye to the delicate, complicated issue of public education and the fading American commitment to equality of opportunity. She does so not by embracing ideological cant or political banter, but by following people through the schools of New Orleans, a city that is trying desperately to reconstitute and better itself after a near-death experience. Don't embarrass yourself by speaking further on American education without first reading this." David Simon, creator of The Wire and Treme
"With grace and profound intimacy, Sarah Carr immerses us in the lives of a group of students, teachers and administrators in New Orleans, ground zero for the debate over school reform, and lays bare all that we face as we try to strengthen our schools. Riveting. Empathic. Incisive. Hope Against Hope is storytelling at its absolute finest." Alex Kotlowitz, author of The Other Side of the River and There Are No Children Here
"For all the charts, graphs, and figures that attempt to explain education reform, a good story is more powerful. Sarah Carr's narratives about a student, a teacher, and an administrator are captivating and evocative. This is an important book about education writ large." Gloria Ladson-Billings, author of The Dreamkeepers
"Of the many dreams and schemes for upgrading New Orleans after Katrina, the controversial, convulsive overhaul of the city's public schools is the one that really happened. Sarah Carr offers readers a ringside seat on an attempted revolution. No one who cares about public education in America can afford to ignore this balanced and vivid account." Jed Horne, author of Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City
"If you read just one book about contemporary education reform, it should be Sarah Carr's Hope Against Hope. Geraldlynn, Aidan, and Mary Laurie are unforgettable characters, whose complex lives challenge the talking points and political pieties so common to the debate over public schools, poverty, and race. Carr has set a new bar for all of us writing about education in America." Dana Goldstein, education journalist and Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation
"Hope Against Hope compels us to look beyond the slogans and labels of competing interest groups to see the issues at the front lines of American education. For those who are interested in genuinely understanding--and moving beyond--the current impasse on school reform, this book is a must read." Pedro Noguera, author of City Schools and the American Dream
"As the nation looks to New Orleans as the model for education reform, we would do well to read this book closely. Sarah Carr's portrait of these changes, at once analytical and compassionate, reveals the human tolls and triumphs of this movement. Whether you support or oppose education reform, Hope Against Hope is necessary reading." Lolis Eric Elie, co-director of the documentary Faubourg Treme
"A balanced account of the growing charter-school movement in post-Katrina New Orleans. Detailed and thoughtful." Kirkus
"[Carr's] protagonists' perspectives capture subtleties rarely probed in a national debate more preoccupied with test scores, corporatization, and teachers' unions." Publishers Weekly

"The Christmas of school days."
(August 2010)
Try as she might, Geraldlynn Stewart could not get her KIPP Re naissance uniform to fit. She experimented with safety pins, bobby pins, and tape. She rolled it up at the waist, ran it through the dryer, and eventually just stared at it—willing the skirt to shrink. Geraldlynn went to bed early on the eve of her first day of high school. When her cell phone alarm beeped at six a.m., the house was eerily silent. Her mother had left an hour earlier for the French Quarter hotel where she worked as a house keeper. Everyone else still slept. The white-and-blue plaid skirt loomed as large as ever.
The ill-fitting uniform seemed to reflect Geraldlynn's misgivings about KIPP Renaissance. In theory, everything the charter school promised sounded great: a warm, supportive atmosphere and an education that would prepare students for college. In reality, however, that meant preppy uniforms, crazy rules, and nights and weekends full of schoolwork. All that to earn four more years of studying? Geraldlynn felt ambivalent. No one in her immediate family had attended college, and despite her good grades in middle school, she remained deeply insecure about her "book smarts." Just weeks earlier, an ACT prep book had arrived in the mail for her older sister, Jasmine. Geraldlynn opened the package and scanned the math problems on one page. Within seconds she threw the book on the floor, where it landed with a loud thud.
"I was scared," she said. "I thought, I'm not ever going to be able to solve these."
But Geraldlynn had no choice in the matter—at least when it came to KIPP Renaissance. Her mother had made that clear. "I think she's in love with KIPP schools. She probably will send me to a KIPP college," the fourteen-year-old said. "I been doing KIPP all my life. I might as well just finish with it."
At school later that morning, the students bantered quietly and compared schedules while their principal droned on about KIPP Re naissance's expectations for student behavior:
"If someone says hello or good morning to you, say hello or good morning back ..."
"I want to go to sleep—or home."
"... If you do something you shouldn't have done, then apologize ..."
"We can't go home. We're stuck here for five years."
"... If someone gives you something you need or ask for, say thank you ..."
"What's this class on my schedule called CR?"
"... About forty percent of KIPP Renaissance students said 'thank you' going through the cafeteria line—four out of ten is not a percentage we can be proud of ..."
"I think that means college readiness."
Everywhere she looked, Geraldlynn saw physical reminders of KIPP Renaissance's overarching goal. College banners draped from the ceiling of the cafeteria. College flags lined the hallway walls. College diplomas hung in the classrooms. Her first day of high school concluded with the mysterious college readiness course, whose teacher, Mr. Saltmarsh, said it would "help us realize our big goal here at Renaissance: one thousand first-generation college graduates by 2022."
Geraldlynn listened closely as Mr. Saltmarsh described Louisiana's college scholarship program. It offered full tuition at any of the state's public universities for students who earned a 2.5 grade point average in high school and scored above the state average on the ACT. Geraldlynn had always wondered how she could afford college. The money her mother made cleaning hotel rooms and busing tables barely covered the bills. Mr. Saltmarsh's speech offered a flicker of hope. In eighth grade she had earned mostly As and Bs—well above a 2.5.
But when Mr. Saltmarsh told the class, "If you think you can earn a 2.5 and score a 20 on the ACT, please let me know by snapping [the KIPP Renaissance sign of approval]!" Geraldlynn kept her hands still.
One by one, each student rotated before Aidan Kelly's watchful eyes. He checked for the requisite khaki pants, black Sci Academy polo shirt, black shoes, and belt. He instructed them to take off wristbands, colored hair ties, and necklaces. Then he sent the students on their way. Another teacher escorted to the office the few whose uniforms failed to pass muster, where they secured the missing items. The rest continued on their way to breakfast. To get there they had to walk between two lines of black tape laid out on the outdoor walkway. Sci Academy teachers greeted the students at every turn, scrutinizing the children's comportment. One roll of the eye, muttered complaint, or step outside of the black lines and a staff member descended. The teachers did not want students to see a peer recognized for bad behavior, so they made a point of reprimanding and redirecting the students as subtly as possible. As one teacher put it: "We don't acknowledge things that don't lead us to college."
Aidan's first day teaching at Sci Academy moved with the precision of a military operation. The teachers had devoted several hours of professional development to rehearsing the day's maneuvers again and again. By the time Sci's freshmen arrived for a weeklong orientation, the staff members were able to move wordlessly between their predesignated stations, leaving the stunned students feeling as if they had stepped into an alternate universe, not a high school. After the uniform check, breakfast, and morning assembly, the students learned how to SPARK (S for sit or stand up straight; P for pen to paper and place your hands on desk; A for ask and answer questions with a straight Sci Academy elbow; R for respect at all times; K for keep tracking the speaker). Each letter was the subject of its own ten-minute mini-lesson.
Even on the first day of school, Sci's teachers tried to connect just about every lesson to college: Scholars should sit in SPARK so blood flows to their brains more easily, speeding up their thoughts and facilitating their path to college. Scholars should be able to transition from "silly" to "serious" with the snap of a finger or the clap of a hand because they do not have a second to waste on their path to college. Scholars should wash their hands before leaving the restroom because otherwise they might get germs, which might make them sick, which might cause them to miss school, which would interrupt their path to college.
Aidan, twenty-four, felt at home at Sci, with its clearly defined rules and aspirations. His first day at his previous teaching job at Martyn Alternative School in a New Orleans suburb could not have been more different. He had floundered through the opening days on his own. There had been no school-wide plan, no practice sessions, no guiding philosophy.
Aidan grew up attending rigorous Catholic schools in the New York City area. He gravitated to intense structure. If there was any place he felt he could thrive as a teacher, it was Sci Academy.
His mother taught kindergarten in a Catholic school and his father, an immigrant from Ireland, never attended high school or college. They had always stressed to Aidan the value of an education. He lived up to their hopes as well as his own, graduating from Harvard University, where he thrived amid the veneration for everything academic. Harvard became a proud part of Aidan's identity. Returning to his alma mater brought a unique joy he hoped his students would someday feel. Most of them, however, viewed the Ivy League as a foreign land—out of mind, out of reach, or both—hardly a target of their aspirations. At Sci Academy, Aidan planned to show them just how much was possible.
All day long people brought their children to Mary Laurie.
An O. Perry Walker alum arrived with his daughter in tow. The family had just moved back to New Orleans, and he had heard good things about the soft -spoken principal who ran the school with an iron fist.
A teacher from one of the city's alternative schools showed up with a sullen-looking girl who wore her baseball cap backwards and a T-shirt that read, I LOVE MY RUDE SHAKER BARBIE BRE. He knew Laurie would take in the wayward student just as she had done with so many others.
A nineteen-year-old who looked like a student himself brought his younger brother. He had assumed the role of father after their parents passed away and wanted his brother to attend a school that treated him like family.
On this day, Laurie accepted all the children on faith. More oft en than not, they lived up to that trust. The proof was all around her.
In the cafeteria she spotted a confident-looking junior wearing the white shirt and orange and navy tie of a student athlete. Just eighteen months earlier, his mother had arrived at Walker sobbing. Her son had recently been arrested for attempted murder and she doubted any school would admit him. "What am I supposed to do now?" she had cried.
Laurie heard the story, saw the electronic ankle bracelet, and agreed to give it a try. Over time the teen thrived at Walker, defying his own stunted ambitions for himself. "He didn't know how good a person he was," Laurie says. "But he could have gone the other way."
Not every story has a happy ending. Laurie knew that all too well. But she pushed such thoughts from her mind today. Even in her late fifties, Laurie still viewed back-to-school season with the hope and excitement of a child.
During the morning, Laurie's pace was relaxed, her exchanges playful. She teased, cajoled, reprimanded, or praised nearly every student she passed as she walked around the worn-down campus. The students called out for her to join in when she arrived in the makeshift dance studio. But Laurie demurred: "I only got one move, one move, baby," she said. "And it was old when I was young."
In the afternoon, however, Laurie's tone grew more urgent and her steps quickened. With just a couple hours before dismissal, several students still awaited schedules or the final paperwork they needed to enroll. They sat in the cafeteria and main office, growing anxious and bored. Laurie wanted them all in class—any class—ASAP. "We're taking too long, get this young man a schedule!" she barked at an administrator. "Come on, baby, let's put you in band for now.
"We've got to move them through, move them through, so they can start their regular classes tomorrow!"
After more than three de cades working in schools, Laurie knew that most days would not be like this one. On other mornings, the crowd of devoted parents, grandparents, and older brothers would be gone. So, too, would be much of the energy, the excitement, the sense of possibility and new beginnings. She needed to capitalize on that energy. She had to get the children through the door and into classes while they wanted to be there. Once inside, she hoped they would connect with a teacher, a classmate, the feel of a horn in their hand, or the rush of a football practice—before they sought their thrills elsewhere. There wasn't a second to lose.
Some students she might not be able to keep for all the time she wanted. But hundreds of families had brought her their children on what she described as "the Christmas of school days." And Laurie intended to hold on to them for as long as she could.

First stop of that name is tomorrow's Hennessy Cognac Chase at Newbury, with his Irish trainer Willie Mullins having again placed Ruby Walsh at the controls. The trio was last seen this side of the Irish Sea when second to Lord Noelie - a rival again here - in the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
That seemed to signify Alexander Banquet's failure to emulate Florida Pearl, who had won the three miles one furlong event two years earlier after winning the 1997 Festival Bumper. Back then County Carlow oracles predicted the elder horse would win the Cheltenham Gold Cup, but to date he's had to settle for third in 1999 and second last year.
Doubtful stamina has been Florida Pearl's downfall, but it's the younger horse's strong suit. Yet he, too, had speed and class enough to win the 1998 Festival Bumper before fracturing his knee at the same meeting the following year when transferred to hurdles in another diversion from his stablemate's career path.
His novice-chasing achievements last season at first suggested he wouldn't cut it in the highest grade. After completing simple tasks in winning his first two starts, he lost his form badly at Christmas time due to jumping errors over too-short trips. It wasn't until February that he regained his composure with a good win at Naas.
As for so many Festival standing dishes, a return to Cheltenham brought out the best in him. He was unsuited both by ground on the firm side of good and an unusually pedestrian pace for the 'novices' Gold Cup, yet jumped the last with every chance. It was then no surprise to see fast ground-loving Lord Noelie out-sprint him.
That rival must concede two pounds to Alexander Banquet, rendering him vulnerable on the form of their length-and-a-quarter disparity at level weights. While both horses are likely to stay this extended three mile two furlong trip, ground on the testing side of good-to-soft plays into the hands of Walsh's mount.
While 1997 Hennessy hero Suny Bay is the sole horse in the past 15 years to carry more than 11 stone to victory, this is one of the classiest renewals in recent memory.
If Alexander Banquet is going to steal Florida Pearl's thunder in the 2001 Cheltenham Gold Cup, he must be able to win off a mark of 147 with 11st 3lb here. Beau is another with Gold Cup pretensions after his amazing demolition of Sandown's Whitbread field last April.
He's been hiked a stone in the ratings since and, while his third behind Foxchapel King at Cheltenham earlier this month was sound enough, he took time to hit his stride last season. Strictly on form, albeit that he may have improved since their last encounters, he may be pushed to confirm superiority over Marlborough, Browjoshy and Spendid on these terms. Doubts persist about all three - the first hasn't proved his jumping infallible, the second is moody and the third was beaten in a far less competitive renewal last year.
Of the market leaders, you can't have Kingsmark at such short odds nor Lady Cricket at any price. The latter's routing of the Thomas Pink Gold Cup field was no fluke and a mere four pound penalty would give her a stand-out chance were it not for her highly doubtful stamina. Don't even go there.
Indifferent jumping had held the former back, yet he got his act together for trainer Martin Tod-hunter at Haydock last time. But his affinity for heavy ground, his chief rivals running below-par and doubtful stayer Tresor De Mai as his nearest pursuer all suggest he may have been flattered.
Ad Hoc is short enough for a horse whose claim to fame is an Ayr novice chase win. He was winning when falling at the last on his Win-canton return, ceding him the call over eventual second, King's Road, if standing up on the same terms here. His charge close-up third to Scottish National hero Paris Pike catches the eye.
But Windross, a distant but eased-down third in that same Wincanton chase, may be the better dark horse at a longer price. A smart hurdler and novice chaser, he's open to improvement on soft ground over this longer trip and benefits from the services of Richard Johnson.
Fragile Foxchapel King has no stamina doubts, is young enough still to be improving and won impressively at Cheltenham last time, while Gingembre (who fell when third in that same race) was progressive last season and has each-way claims if his jumping holds up. Strong Tel is difficult to assess, returning from injury.Reuse content

We don't sugar-coat the facts, but we try not to let i's news coverage be unrelentingly bleak. (You're the judge of that.) Today we lead with a piece of good news: the number of children adopted in England and Wales has leapt by the highest amount on record. It is an undeniable success story for the Coalition and for the Education Secretary, Michael Gove. Ministers have pressured local authorities to speed up tortuous adoption applications, shining the harsh beam of Whitehall's displeasure on those councils dragging their feet. The aim: to halve the time taken to place a child with an adoptive family from 12 months to six.
In the slew of statistics, one stands out: for every year that a child waits, the chances of being adopted decrease by 20 per cent.
Not all children in care are suitable for adoption, not everybody's a good parent, not everyone wants kids. But there are more adults out there who might want to adopt if it was a smoother, less harrowing process.
On BeMyParent.org.uk, the adoption and fostering service for children, hundreds of little faces beam out, with heart-rending biographies. Daniel, four, is always smiling, apparently, and likes playing golf. Rhys, Harvey and Toby are cheery looking brothers who have always lived together and "respond well to boundaries". Demi, six, sounds a bundle of energy, has weekly play therapy and good school reports.
There will always be children in need of new families – and there remains much we can do to improve the adoptions process: place adopters on selection panels, support new parents, reform existing care homes, hire extra social workers (and pay them better). And find the elusive adults keen to adopt older kids, siblings, and disabled children.Reuse content

This is the Samba Classic, Adidas made a new Samba called the Samba Original. The Classic from this website is the one to get. It has a better arch support, its easier to slip on so youll only need to tie it one time. These clean up with just a quick wipe of dish soap and water when they get dirty. I ordered these on a Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. and they were delivered not only at the best price but at 11 a.m. the next morning. You won't be disappointed with these. I've bought this shoe more ... than any other shoe for over ten years.
I've owned 4+ pairs of these over the years, and I really like them. Academy had the best prices and quick shipping
Hello all, I am very pleased with these cleats, it has been over a year and they are still in excellent condition playing about once a week. Before I got these cleats, I used to have a nail issue with my big toe and it would take at least 6 months to renew. I thought that is how my toe+nail structure is but I was wrong. After getting these cleats, never had that problem. The best investment I did.
I'm on my second pair in the last month. I play soccer and football and the right shoe started splitting at the inside of the toe. The second pair is doing much better. I would probably buy another pair, just based on how nice the studs are.
Yet to give it a try, but looks like it might just exceed my expectations
Ordered these for my son. They fit well and are good for his soccer needs (practice one day a week and weekend game). He seems to like them and has no complaints.
Before I decided to buy those shoes, I went online and compared the price in different stores. Academy Sports+ offered the best price I could find. The shoes are of a good quality, but I would recommend buying a half size bigger than your normal size.
My son loves his first pair, but after 8 months the side blew out in them. He uswd them as every day shoes, though he plays soccer too. He wanted another pair. So i found them online. Hope these last as long. Would buy another pair if there available. His first pair were a size bigger than typical shoe size, so i got these that same size. To me they look thinner than a wide shoe.
They are great i played 2 seasons with these shoe but they broke on me after the seasons.
a little bit heavy but good quality. I recommend someone looking for a good shoes soccer
We were very happy with our purchase, and the customer service was very good.
Awesome really like it it's so comfortable and really looks fashion
Very nice texture. I especcialy enjoyed the touch that it has
Good option when shoes not in stock. Good customer service for telling me the option.
I got tow of that one for me and one for my son. he will start soccer school soon. he is very happy with his one. good as a start shoes.
I bought these a few months back and all I Can say is that the touch is great, they're comfortable, and light.
I bought these for my son. He loves them. Lightweight but sturdy. Well made.
I don't know if it's just me but these cleats are being difficult to break in and a pain to put on Also the upper material is super thin, I'll give it a few more weeks before I make any changes.
I bought this a month ago and it's great to play with! They are little hard on the sides, but still comfy!
Got shoes in two days. Fit great. Breakung them in now. So far so good. Twenty dollars cheaper than other store.
I bought a pair of this shoes and I am happy with them.
Used these one time before I got stepped on and the lace ripped, but while I was playing I was very impressed with the amount of control it gave me with my general touch.
This shoe is amazing and a great price for what you get. It is built well and fits very snug to the foot. It is a but narrow but so are my feet so just be aware of that before purchase. It also fits a bit short in the toe. I normally wear a Nike 10.5M but had to get an 11M in these. Great for my indoor games as well as the weight room due to the grippy, solid outsole and lack of insole cushion. I definitely recommend these shoes.
This is a nice and comfortable shoe my boys love it.
I bought these shoes for my ex boyfriend, and he LOVES them! Loves the color, and the way he's able to play in them.
This cleat is realy good in running and their realy good for passes i recomend this cleat for deferense and strikers
These are shaped to stay on my son's narrower heels so we have been replacing them every half size as he grows. But now that he's not growing quite as fast the soles are separating from the shoe before he grows out of them. Not happy about that!
I bought these about a month ago when they were $100 so I'm a little disappointed to see that they are $40 cheaper, but overall I'm happy with the performance of the shoe. I've played soccer all my life and they have served me well thus far. Having said that, if you have wide feet like me, then there will be about a week or 2 required to break these in. I would likely go with a wider shoe for my next purchase.
i have not used them yet, but they arrived in perfect condition. They are a perfect fit
Fast shipping perfect fit on soccer cleats we will be doing business again

The City of Victoria is taking the lead from Vancouver and moving to regulate marijuana shops.
Mayor Lisa Helps says council will first draw up a list of proposals then hold a town hall meeting.
"The next steps will be similar to what Vancouver's doing, to consult with the public in various ways starting with, probably, the stakeholders, which are most affected, which are some of the businesses that are operating now."
There are 18 pot dispensaries in Victoria.
This time last year there were four.
Vancouver has 85.

Imphal, Apr 30: Manipur is reeling under acute water crisis with the main water supply project at Singda near here not functioning properly.
Public Health Engineering Department Minister T N Haokip visited Singda yesterday and met the village chiefs to discuss about the maintenance of the dam.
The villagers also submitted a memorandum to the minister demanding formation of a committee to protect the dam, which supplied about four MGD of water in the state.
Mr Haokip had also inspected the dam areas on April 20 last and advised the engineers to take immediate steps to repair the valves of the dam.
According to reports from across the state, people were seen making long queues near tubewells and other sources of water.
Many have to depend on the water supplied by private tankers, who could meet the demands of only five to ten houses a day, whereas the demand was in thousands.
Most of the ponds have dried up with Nambul and Imphal rivers as the only source of survival.
Besides Singda, the Khuga and Thoubal Multipurpose Project and Dolaithabi Barrage were some of the new projects under construction.

Tom Robinson's P.O.V. ( a fan-fiction of To Kill A Mockingbird)
This is part of an assignment given in class. Each piece will be written by a different student.
I feel helpless and defeated as I stand there watching the trial. Atticus is picking apart Mayella's story. The three of them: Mayella & Bob Ewell, and Heck Tate are all a' liars. Atticus don't believe a damn word they say. They're aint a white man out there 'cept Atticus that truly has believed me right from the beginin'. No matta' what I say, no matta' how truthful it is, a jury will always believe a white man over a Negro. And that's just a' how it goes.
I'll tell you what happened on the night of November 21st. Sure, I mighta' been a' Miss Mayella's that night, but it wasn't me who did a' the rapin'. Oh no sir, twasn't me. I swear ta' God. Twas a' Miss Mayella's fatha' who caused all the racket. Twas' Miss Mayella's fatha' who beat her. Twas' Miss Mayella's fatha' who blamed me for it so here I stand. I guess I was just a' the wrong place a' the wrong time. I will always help a woman, but I will never dare beat one. Oh no. Never. Especially not at times like these.
Afta' all these thoughts a' finished whirren' round ma' head, I soon found myself locked up at jail. This was a' when I knew it twas' the end. Atticus had fought as hard as he could for me, but we both knew that under the trials circumstances, it just would never work out in our favor. The last thing I remember him whisperin' to me was "I'm very sorry Tom, things just haven't worked out right for us, and hopefully someday somebody will wake up and see that convicting a Negro just because he's a Negro, is not the proper way to work things out. Good luck, Tom, you've done right and that's good enough for me." He gave one last nod of gratitude, then turned and walked out of the courthouse.
I knew that I would probably never make it out of this place alive, but if I got a chance to run away, I would. The next day, when the guards twasn't lookin', I shot out of the back door as fast as I could. Within seconds, I knew the guards had saw me. There was loud shoutin' behind me, a ripple of "You come back here right now" and "Git' 'im"s from the guards, but I kept runnin'. I saw the fence a few feet in front of me but I knew that I wouldn't make it. They were a' gainin' upon me an' one of em' had a gun. He fired it in the air. Once. Twice. Three times. The fourth he shot at me but missed. I kept goin'. BAM! BAM! BAM! He hit me 17 times. I never made it up the fence. That's when I knew it was over.

On 08/16/2013 10:08am -10:17am Rep Tonya And Christopher both expressed the most aggressive and unprofessional collection ethics I have ever experience in my life. I was humiliated and belittled by Christopher in the most outrageous way. After I advised him I am in the process of filing BK, he told me he will continue to call my" father, mother, cousins and my greasy greasy grandmother" in those exact words. He told me is will be calling my parents to ask them "what went wrong with me and ask them why I am so ignorant." He told me they will be sending someone to my home to serve me with court summons for a payday loan. I am so disgusted with these people. I have sent them emails to stop calling and also advised them over phone to stop calling and they still call me harassing me.

As Arizona get closer to facing BYU in the season opener, a major question mark still remains at the starting quarterback position and, as junior Anu Solomon describes, the pressure and scrutiny is all just part of the game.
"I don't pay attention to any of that," Solomon said. "I know that if I go out and compete to the best of my ability every day in practice, I'll be the guy out there."
"I've focused on the little things. My reads need to get better and I know that. Staying healthy is a huge thing for me as well."
In addition to improving the fundamentals and skills ets needed to earn the job, Solomon understands being a more vocal leader this season is crucial.
"My relationship with everyone in our offense has never been better," he said. "I just try to lighten up the mood. There is always a lot of pressure on everybody this time of year, especially the new guys."
As fall camp concludes and regular season practice has begun, the junior admits the offense as a whole has significantly progressed these past few days.
"Everybody on our offense has stepped it up," Solomon said. "The reality of playing an actual football game has hit me and the majority of our guys. With all the hard work everyone has put in, we can't wait to take the field in Glendale."
Arizona is returning a strong core group of receivers, and Solomon feels they will play a major role in the success at the quarterback position.
"Nate, Trey and Samajie are all veterans on this team," he said. They are all guys I can count to do the right things on every play.
"Their presence is going to help out the young players a lot. Certain guys learn the offense faster than others and three veteran leaders will certainly ease the process."

China's defense splurge good for world peace: state media
AFP and AP Friday, March 7, 2014, 12:09 am TWN
BEIJING/WASHINGTON -- The latest double-digit increase to China's defense budget serves world peace and is no threat to anyone, state media argued Thursday after the 12.2 percent spending hike raised alarms in Japan.
"China has no intention of overturning the current international security pattern," the Global Times, which is close to the ruling Communist Party, said in an editorial. "China will never seek to grab hegemony."
The government-run China Daily said in its editorial: "World peace needs a militarily stronger China," adding that narratives which put China in a "bully's role" were "completely against the truth."
On Wednesday, the opening day of the Communist-controlled National People's Congress (NPC) legislative meeting, Beijing announced a rise in the People's Liberation Army budget for 2014 to 808.23 billion yuan (US$132 billion).
US, Japan Question China intentions
Beijing's growing military expenditures and capabilities have raised worries in Asia and the U.S., and Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters Wednesday that its lack of transparency on spending "has become a matter of concern for the international community, including Japan."
Japan's liberal Asahi Shimbun newspaper noted Thursday that Beijing's defense spending was "triple" that of Tokyo.
"China's military expansion is not stopping," it said in an editorial. "What is the purpose of this accelerating military expansion? It's no surprise that the international community has strong concerns."
The conservative mass circulation Yomiuri warned that "the rapid military buildup under Xi Jinping will amplify the 'China threat' theory."
The U.S. Pacific commander voiced concern Wednesday over China's intentions.
Several lawmakers questioned Adm. Samuel Locklear about U.S. ability to contend with a rising China and sustain a "pivot" to Asia amid growing pressure on the U.S. defense budget.
Locklear noted China's spending increase, and added that the 12.2 percent rise is "just what we can see."
He told the House Armed Services Committee that there has been a slow and steady growth in the U.S.-China military relationship, and that the U.S. wants China to provide a positive contribution to regional security. But he said China's recent activities were calling into question how it will proceed.
"What's frustrating is what's happening in their own backyard as it relates to their relations with some of our allies," Locklear said, citing China's "ambiguous" territorial claims in the South China Sea and its declaration of an air defense information zone over the East China Sea, in an encompassing airspace above Japanese-controlled islands also claimed by China.
"Whether the (Chinese) military will rise, I think that's a given. It will. The question is: is it transparent, what is it used for, is it cooperating in the larger security environment with neighbors?" he said.
House and Senate committees on Wednesday were quizzing U.S. military commanders about budget requests for 2015.
Republican Sen. John McCain took aim at the administration for presenting a budget "that constrains us in a way which is unprecedented since previous times." He cited remarks reportedly made by a senior defense official Tuesday that budget cuts mean the "pivot" can't happen — comments the administration quickly rolled back.
While Locklear acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining the naval presence the U.S. needs, he predicted China would not be able to threaten American global military pre-eminence for a long time. He said he was most concerned by China's introduction of military capabilities apparently aimed at thwarting the U.S. ability to defend its allies in the region.

I SAID it would be all about Man City for me on Saturday but I couldn't have imagined how cruelly they'd treat me. A Joe Hart clanger and Aleksander Kolarov missed penalty in injury time cost me two wins and a draw.
City -1 was a 5pts Super Single, a second one was City -2AH and my 8-1 homes fourfold was downed by City -1 after wins by Burnley, Derby and Ayr.
Of my other two Super Singles Crawley was a winner and Ross County not to lose wasn't. So after a rollercoaster month the Super Single ends 10.1 points down – if Kolarov had potted his penalty I'd have finished 2pts ahead.
The accas total would have looked much better with that 8-1 success and I needed Excelsior to bring up a 7-2 btts treble but they chose this game to slip up.
Elsewhere it was a another cracking day for Greg Browning with three wins out of four including his Nap and NB and Scott Allott had two winners from two – an 11-4 treble and a 5-1 treble. As I've said the site's not all about me and we've built a community of top tipsters and posters.
There is a separate post on my both to score treble and after having a long look at latest team news today I'm making Napoli the Super Single. The'll go joint top with a win at Genoa and that's a massive incentive.
Genoa have decent home form but are missing four or five first-teamers today and I'm on Napoli to notch their sixth win in a row. That pays 4-5 with several firms and I wouldn't put anyone off backing Gonzalo Higuain to score at 1-1 with bet365 and Ladbrokes.
In fact for a Daily Double I'm on Higuain to score and Southampton to beat Bournemouth. Reasoning for the latter is on the UK football preview post.

Alexandra: Sebastian
'So there is an heir to the Handrian throne somewhere,' Eliza said, as shocked as I had been by the news. 'Is there any way of finding out who he is? If he shares our Iberian blood then he will be able to stop the war, no more people will have to die.'
'Angel didn't tell me any more than the facts. Apparently no one knows where the prince or princess are. They haven't been seen in years. But at least we have something.'
'I suppose,' Eliza sighed. I put my arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.
'I'm sorry for shouting at you about the James thing. I'm just scared that I'll fail and my poor brother will end up dead on some muddy battlefield somewhere, unknown and alone, so I'll never know what happened to him. I just feel like there is so much resting on us to get this right. It's a lot of pressure.'
'I'm not sure that makes me feel any better,' Eliza said, a half-laugh escaping from her lips.
'I'm not sure it was meant to be. I just miss talking to people and not having to pretend I'm something I'm not.'
'Welcome to court,' Eliza joked.
'I feel bad lying to Angel. He's a good man and I don't want to see him hurt by my actions.'
'I don't think we can have it both ways,' Eliza said sadly. 'Either we save Iberia and hurt the friends we make here, or abandon our roots and stay loyal to our Handrian friends.'
'I just have to tell myself that Seb is the most important thing.' I wasn't really talking to Eliza anymore, looking off into the distance wistfully. 'I'm doing this for him.' After a few moments silence I snapped out of my trance and prepared to leave. 'I think we need to go back. I know people will be starting to wonder where we are.'
'Should we leave together?'
'I don't think so. I'll leave first, don't follow until the door has shut behind me.' I gave her a peck on the cheek for luck and left the room. Music was still playing and the couples dancing around the floor were still smiling and gazing into each other's eyes.
Think of Sebastian, I told myself as I moved around the room, keeping as close to the wall as I could. It would be his birthday soon, Sebastian's. Twenty-one. I couldn't believe time had passed so quickly since we were children. Part of me wished we were still like that. Sebastian wouldn't have been called off to war, I wouldn't have met Jon and wouldn't be here.
But I couldn't turn back time, and I didn't regret my decision to come here. I was doing what I could for my country, for my family. I prayed that Brother Peter had kept his word and was looking after my mother. I felt so guilty leaving her alone, but there were bigger things at stake here.
'Beautiful lady,' a smooth voice said. I turned and smiled at the face of a young man I had not seen before. 'May I know your name.'
'Alexandra Ford sir. And what might your name be?'
'Isacc Serain, my lady, aide to his majesty the King.' There was a self-importance to this man that I didn't like. At least it meant I might get some information from him. 'May I have the pleasure of this dance?'
'You may,' I said in my sweetest voice, curtsying before he led me out onto the dance floor.

LILLE, France (AFP) – Former France international Sebastien Squillaci's penalty secured unfashionable French Ligue 1 club Bastia a place in the League Cup final on Wednesday at the expense of the club where he made his name Monaco.
The 34-year-old – who was part of the Monaco team that reached the 2004 Champions League final – tucked away his spot kick to give Bastia victory in the penalty shootout 7-6 after the match finished 0-0 after extra-time.
Bastia – who have won just one trophy in their history the 1981 French Cup though they were finalists in the 1978 UEFA Cup, 1995 League Cup and the 1972 and 2002 French Cup – will play holders Paris Saint Germain in the April 11 final at the Stade de France.
PSG, who beat Lille 1-0 on Tuesday, will be bidding for revenge as the Corsican side inflicted a surprise 4-2 defeat on them in January in the league match.
PSG's win came courtesy of a superb goal by Brazilian fullback Maxwell.
The French champions dominated the game and their goal was a worthy winner on 27 minutes when Maxwell blasted a fierce shot into the corner leaving Lille's Nigerian 'keeper Vincent Enyeama no chance.
The joy at reaching the final was tempered somewhat as PSG's star player Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic tried to persuade several of his team-mates to ignore the waiting press.
"Follow me follow me. Nobody talks. Zlatan is the boss," Ibrahimovic said in English as he led a group comprising among others Maxwell, Edinson Cavani and Brazilian Lucas out of the dressing room.
While a smiling Ibrahimovic progressed serenely through the mixed zone Brazilian star Lucas disobeyed and stopped to speak with the press speaking in Portuguese.

Sydney, Feb.7 (ANI): Australian and New South Wales fast Bowler Brett Lee has said that there is a distinct possibility of him not bowling in competitive cricket again, as he is yet to recover from a serious elbow injury.
Talking to The Sunday Telegraph, Lee said he would consult Test captain Ricky Ponting before deciding whether to press on with his career or to pull the plug on his 13-year career.
His hopes of a Test recall had an almost terminal setback on Friday when Australia coach Tim Nielsen revealed the 33-year-old was at long odds to again wear the baggy green.
Lee is working hard on his rehabilitation from elbow surgery but admits there is no guarantee he will be seen in Australian colours again.
"As far as my cricket goes, anything is possible. You can read into it what you want, but I may play one-dayers, or no cricket at all," said Lee, who has taken 310 Test wickets and 324 one-day scalps.
"I may never bowl another ball again, and if that's the case I'm so satisfied with my career and my longevity. I'm not saying it's definitely over, but I'm not sure what I want to be just yet. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what I still want to do at this point in my cricketing life. I need to get to the stage where, if I want to, I can do what I need to do on the field," he added.
"If it's the case that I don't play again, well that's the case. There is a part of me that would like to play some sort of cricket again. But what kind of cricket that is, I don't know," he said.
The 76-Test veteran has had 12 injuries throughout his 13-year first-class career, including back, ankle, rib and elbow problems. But he says he has never encountered an injury like his recent elbow complaint.
"I'm making a lifestyle decision here as opposed to a cricketing one and I'll see what comes out of it," he said. (ANI)

Found Prologue
A young girl found in the middle of a road, with no memory of her past, grows up tough in a small suburb of NYC. Soon she will discover who she really is and what she was always meant to do.
I got in my first fight when I was eight years old. Becky Franklin pulled my hair and called me strange, so I gave her an uppercut to the jaw and called her fat. She wasn't, but it felt good to say and it was exactly the right thing to undermine her self-esteem. I was all about breaking bones with sticks and stones, but I also knew that words stung worse than any cuts or bruises I could deliver. I knew because that was what they used to hurt me. I'd been called strange or weird or freak for as long as I could remember, even though at that point the furthest back I could remember was only about a year prior. I was found naked in the middle of the road at midnight. That's my earliest visceral memory, the way the asphalt was warm but wet, and seemed to almost pulsate with the heartbeat of the earth, how my whole left side was scraped and scratched and raw, but not bloody, and the smell, sweet dewdrops and lilacs and tar. And then there were these bright orbs hovering in the distance, glowing brighter and getting larger and closer. At the time I didn't know what they were. I didn't know they would be my salvation. I was lucky to be found by that particular car and by those people, because they became my family. The only family I've ever known. The stories of my strange arrival spread around town quickly, and I ended up being the weird girl with no history. It didn't help that I was roughly seven years old, but already had a tattoo of the moon on the back of my neck, and could barely speak English. Not that I could speak any other language either, but English was kind of what they focused on.
