How to download pictures from digital camera to computer?
How to download pictures from digital camera to computer?
Follow the instructions to download pictures from digital camera to computer:
First connect your digital camera to your computer.
You can do this in two different ways:
Use a USB cable. Most digital cameras come with a cable that connects the camera to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on your computer.
Use a memory card and memory card reader. A memory card reader is a piece of hardware that plugs right into your computer. You remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into your memory card reader, similar to the way you might transfer a file between two computers using a floppy disk.
Once you've connected your camera to your computer or inserted your memory card into your memory card reader, Windows XP will detect the connection and ask you what you want to do with your pictures.
Click 'Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard', and then click 'OK'.
If you are using a memory card reader, click 'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer' using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and then click 'OK'.
When the Scanner and Camera Wizard appears, click 'Next'.
All of the pictures on your camera (or in your camera's memory card) are now displayed on the 'Choose Pictures to Copy page.' By default, Windows XP selects all of the pictures for downloading. If there are pictures you do not want to download, just clear the check box next to those pictures. At this stage, you can also rotate pictures that you took while holding your camera vertically. To rotate a picture, click it, and then click either the 'Rotate clockwise' or 'Rotate counterclockwise butto'n on the lower-left side of the page. When you have reviewed the pictures for downloading and rotated your vertical pictures, click 'Next'.
Once the Picture Name and Destination page, type a name for the group of pictures. (This name, plus a number to differentiate each picture, will be applied to each of the pictures you download; for example, if you name the group 'Vacation,' the pictures will be named 'Vacation001,' 'Vacation002,' and so on.) Click Browse, and select a folder in which to save your pictures.
If you want to erase the images from your camera's memory card to make space for new ones, select the 'Delete pictures from my device after copying them' check box, and then click 'Next'. The Scanner and Camera Wizard copies the pictures from your camera to the folder you specified and then remove the pictures from your camera's memory card.
On the 'Other Options' page, you can choose to publish your pictures to a Web site or order prints. If you have finished working with your pictures, click 'Nothing', and then click 'Next'.
On the final page of the wizard, click 'Finish'. Windows XP opens a Windows Explorer window showing the pictures you downloaded from your camera. Your camera's memory card is now clean and ready to store new pictures. If you connected your camera to your computer using a USB cable, disconnect your camera. If you used a memory card reader, return the memory card to the camera.
You can download pictures again from a digital camera to a computer once the format issue is resolved or once you get the software tool in place.

Soften Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Step 1: Since makeup that's too heavy can build up and cake in fine lines, apply a light layer of a sheer foundation. Choose one labeled as "moisturizing" if you have dry skin, or one that is silicone-based (you'll see silica in the ingredient list) if your complexion is slightly oily. Look for products that claim to have light-reflecting properties, which will give your skin a subtle glow. But you don't want all-out shininess. Too much shimmer can accentuate lines, especially around the eyes, warns Los Angeles makeup artist Heather Currie.
Step 2: Add concealer, but only on the dark areas under the eyes. Areas of the face where skin tends to be driest―around the outsides of the eyes, for example―are where makeup is most likely to highlight lines. To increase the sheerness of the concealer, mix it with a pea-size amount of eye cream before gently tapping it on with your finger, says Vaughn.

A lot of things went through my mind last week when I read the first formal announcement of the Vatican visitation of U.S. communities of women religious. Some of it was surprise. Most of all, I could hardly bear the delight of it. We were finally going to get what we deserved.
For years, from grade school to the early '60's, one of the things I remember best about church is that every year we got sermons on what it meant to become a sister. Sisters were very close to God, they told us. They had a very exalted vocation. They gave their entire lives to God, unlike other people who just gave their lives in bits and pieces.
We heard those sermons on the valor of the sisterhood year after year, every year of our lives. We got them at the annual parish retreat, we got them on high school vocation days, we got them during the year in glowing terms from the parish pulpit. These women, the priests told us, were special. They were holy. They were different than the rank and file of women who simply got married. They were nuns.
So nuns became my idols, my heroes, my role models. And why not? With support like that, who could doubt the value and impact of the life. Every Catholic girl in the country at least thought of becoming a sister even if, in the end, she did not do it.
After all, women of this stock had founded 469 Catholic hospitals from 1866-1917. They had nursed both armies on the Civil War battlefield despite the dismay of church leaders. They had put over 50,000 sister-teachers in parochial schools during the same period and by 1920 had almost two million pupils in 6,550 Catholic schools. These women, had, for all practical purposes, built the Catholic church in the United States.
But, suddenly, sometime in the early '60's, things began to change. Girls still entered in great numbers but just as many left soon after, a social phenomenon totally unheard of before that time. This was a life that no longer attracted young girls much. They simply stopped coming. And just as abruptly, the sermons stopped, too.
Where had all the sisters gone? Out of the language of the pulpit, that's for sure.
But that didn't stop the Sisters. They got the message-both from the documents of Vatican II and from the society around them-that the medieval life-style they were living needed updating. And, it was clear, so also did the ministries they had been involved in for over 100 years. Strong women that they truly were, they set out to do both-update the lifestyle and adapt to new needs, with little resources and less support. Even from the church that had mandated the changes.
No matter: They did it anyway.
With the same kind of zeal that fired their small groups of foundresses to give their lives to make life better and the faith deeper for poor Catholic immigrants in a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant country, this generation of the 1960's ventured out of the Catholic ghettoes of their own time to do the same.
This time the women who had built the largest private school system in the world turned it over to the Catholics who had been trained in it and began to build again. They sold hospitals and opened nursing homes for the elderly and began free clinics instead.
This time they built housing projects for the poor and disabled.
They opened centers to teach another generation of Catholics to make peace and seek justice in a period when the powerful had begun to use war as a foreign policy of choice and the long arm of Western capitalism was thriving on a new brand of economic colonialism.
They created spirituality centers to share the fruits of centuries of charism and prayer with a generation who were seeking more than ritual as a sign of religious commitment.
They devoted themselves to the creation of child-care centers in a world where women no longer had the luxury to stay at home and raise children -- even if they wanted to cloister themselves off from the world around them.
They began GED and retraining programs for single parents who lacked the high school diplomas or technical certification to get full-time jobs.
They designed programs in theology and psychology for women to repair the damage done to women's self-esteem as well as their spiritual lives by the distorted definitions of womanhood peddled by both church and state.
They opened courses designed to amend the effects of women's traditional exclusion from the kind of theological education that rendered them equal but "different," inferior to men and unworthy to be in either sanctuary or sacristy.
They began ecumenical prayer groups. They pressed for desegregation. They monitored the effects of national legislation on the poor. They started ecology programs. They became hospital chaplains. They went into prison work.
There was hardly a place where there were the new poor, sick or suffering that sisters were not there with them.
And all the while they went on "giving their lives to God" in prayer and with communities of strangers while they ministered on the streets, opened rural spirituality centers, taught and lectured and developed spirituality programs and retreats, ran half-way houses for battered women and day-care centers for Alzheimer patients. They had no desire to be "a higher vocation." They simply set out to be an authentic one.
Most of all, they went on doing those things years beyond the work life of the average person. They exhausted themselves administering programs, pounding the pavement, providing hospitality, keeping priestless parishes operating, working to protect the environment, and caring for the newly abandoned underclasses in order to take the church where the church of this time needed to be. They began the outreach of a whole new church in the United States.
Then, finally, over 50 years later, without warning or consultation on how the process ought to be conducted, let alone why -- the announcement came as a surprise even to the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the official contact point between women religious and Rome, -- women religious of the United States got notice a few weeks ago that they are to be the subjects of an "Apostolic Visitation" from Rome. No small thing. Serious and countrywide. The purpose of this unusual intervention by the Vatican, the letter signed by Cardinal Prefect Francis Rode of the Congregation for Religious and Consecrated Life, hastens to say, is "to look into the quality of life of religious women in the United States." (Note well: The lives of women religious, not male religious.)
Well, let's just put it this way: If the number of people served has anything to do with this phase of religious life as it did of the last one, the quality of the life is outstanding. The impact of the life is broad and deep. The nature of the life is spiritually beautiful and beautifully spiritual. Not easy, but worth it.
At the same time, 50 years without support or approval or understanding or encouragement in those efforts from the church has not been easy. Nor has it done anything to make this life both known and desirable, as it did in the past.
So, see why I'm delighted about the visitation?
From where I stand, if the church really wants to support women religious, it's about time for a statement that says again, "These are great women living a great spiritual life and doing great things." Let's hear it: loud and clear. After all, if religious life for women disappears -- or, conceivably, begins to function outside the boundaries of the institutional church -- it will not only affect religious women -- it will also definitely affect the church in the modern world.
Think about it. Maybe we could all use a few more sermons again. Religious life does deserve it.

1 dead, 1 charged in Southeast Side crash
Updated 9:21 pm, Friday, May 2, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — One man died and another has been charged with intoxication manslaughter after a crash at 11 p.m. Thursday on the Southeast Side.
Ruben Quinonez, 38, was driving east in the 2500 block of East Southcross Boulevard when his car hit a dip in the road, police said.
Quinonez's car slid across the westbound lanes, where a motorcyclist was unable to avoid hitting it on the front passenger door, police said.
The motorcyclist died at the scene. He had no identification with him, so next of kin has not been notified.
A female passenger in Quinonez's car was taken to University Hospital with a broken arm and internal injuries, police said.
News Channel
Quinonez was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center. Police said he was intoxicated and has been charged with intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault.
Bail for both charges totals $125,000.

School needs more inclusive namesake
Henry Woodfin Grady was a white supremacist. This school, however, still gives him the honor of representing an educational environment. Grady was a prominent journalist who believed in a "new south." Most of his ideas revolved around new economic policies. Unfortunately, he also strongly believed that the same "new south" depended on the social supremacy of whites over blacks, which he expressed in countless speeches. Last week the school board of Houston Independent School District in Texas voted to change the name of their former Henry W. Grady High School. Following their lead is a choice we must make. As a public school that prides itself on inclusiveness and diversity, we must not fail to take action. To truly live up to our motto, "individually we are different, together we are Grady," we should have a name representative of our diverse student body.
The Grady administration has identified issues with socioeconomic and racial diversity previously; the system of Small Learning Communities exacerbated these issues and was dismantled at the beginning of this school year. With such huge changes being implemented in the name of equality, altering the name of Grady to represent the students, faculty and staff, could continue that trend. A name holds power and symbolizes a great deal — as does removing one.
Following the Charleston mass shooting in South Carolina in 2015, multiple state governments came together to remove all confederate flags from states' grounds. It was a symbolic move that demonstrated the importance of removing tokens that represent support for slavery and white supremacy. Although many have argued that things like names and flags are simply expressions of the First Amendment, limits are necessary when dealing with public property.
Henry W. Grady once stated "the supremacy of the white race of the South must be maintained forever, and the domination of the negro race resisted at all points and at all hazards, because the white race is the superior race."
As a community of individuals from various backgrounds, races and ethnicities, we should not have a name that fails to represent that heterogeneity. More than that, we should not have a name that is counter to the goals of any productive and welcoming school — one that fails to celebrate many cultures and embrace the uniqueness of Atlanta.
Many important leaders from Atlanta and around the nation have preached equality and morality in their lifetimes. They have made history trailblazing on behalf of equal rights for all Americans and across the world. Those people deserve recognition, not the white supremacist we are currently dubbed. Changing the school's name to a figure who represents who we are, just like removing confederate flags, would help push us away from negative symbolism.
We at the Southerner pride ourselves on the journalism available at our school, and we do believe Henry W. Grady represents that. As the founder of the Atlanta Constitution, now the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he deeply affected and influenced the region. That being said, as did many other historical figures. Ida B. Wells, for example, would make a perfect namesake for a school like ours. Wells, a daughter of slaves, was a journalist who fought for justice throughout her life. She, like Grady, owned a newspaper. Her paper, the Free Speech, however, spoke out against unfair conditions for African Americans in schools, lynchings of African Americans and other issues of injustice in the South. Along with this work, Wells worked as a teacher for a segregated school district in Memphis, TN. The Southerner could not imagine a more representative figure to name our institution of learning.
That being said, other historical, Atlanta-based figures emulate the characteristics we should strive to recreate. John Lewis, Andrew Young and Jimmy Carter all come to mind.
While impacts the change would cause are not easily discernible, a different name would have a higher moral standard attached to it. Following a change in leadership at both Grady and APS, changing the school's name should be the next action following the dissolution of SLCs. Grady High School is a progressive institution of learning, and it is time to match our name with our goals.

Regarding changing the name of Grady High School, should that occur, can changing the name of the Grady College of Journalism be far behind? The young lady (I'm sorry, but I did not catch her name) that spoke to this matter on your broadcast seemed to have two agendas, one explicitly stated, and the other implicit. Her explicit reason for a name change has to do with her objections to her perceptions of the person that Henry Grady was in the cultural-historical context of his life. The implicit motive appears to be that her high school must now be named for a black person, as the list of alternative honorees, as I heard it, consisted only of blacks.
I have asked "On Second Thought" to respond to this type of issue before, but thus far you have not. As previously asked, if renaming any public institution that bears the name Grady is required, should we not also eliminate the names of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson from the public tableau? After all, owning black people – as both Washington and Jefferson did – is a much stronger indictment of white supremacist views than anything Henry Grady ever contemplated.
I think that the young lady that spoke on your program misses the point of her high school's motto: "Individually we are different. Together we are Grady." If you analyze that motto, you will see that it is dynamic, not static. What Grady High School is today is not what it was the day it opened. What it is today is defined by the community that constitutes it. Keep the name, pursue the collective goal, whatever it may be, today and tomorrow.

The name change sounds like a good idea. Here all this time I thought the school was named after Fred Sanford's good friend Grady. I wondered about it every time I drove by the school.
Idiots. Those were different times. Henry Grady was a great man and you punks should feel lucky to have your school named after him.

Sharon Ni Bheolain 'morto' over her mystery bandage
Catriona Loughran
27 June, 2012
Newsreader Sharon Ni Bheolain reveals her blushes over furore over her bandaid.
Sharon Ni Bheolain
told yesterday that she was 'morto' over the furore surrounding her plastered forehead.
The glamorous
anchor read out the news last night with her bandaid in place prompting animated discussion from the audience on twitter.
But the 41 year old beauty told the Tubridy Show yesterday that she simply needed stitches after a minor accident this week.
She joked that she was reluctant to ask for a doctor's certificate to excuse her from news reading duties because of the current climate in the country.
RTE presenter Ryan Tubridy read out a text from the famously private anchor who had declined to be interviewed on his show.
"News just in. She has a plaster. What could spoil such a beautiful portrait? We have full developments on Sharon Ni Bheolain. That is the news", joked the presenter.
He then read out her text to his production office from the blonde-haired TV star about the bandaid which had sparked its own news headlines.
It read: "I'm morto. I should have asked for a cert but I figured in this climate that would be a greater crime.
"I had a minor accident. I needed stitches and they come out tomorrow so just one more sleep. PS you can read out the text."
The 41 year old is known as the original Gaelgoir and was the first of a string of Irish-speaking beauties to become television stars in recent years.
She was followed onto the current affairs stage by native speakers Grainne Seoige and Maura Derrane who began their newsreading duties in TG4.
Sharon Ni Bheoilain has taken on the mantle of the Queen of the Newsroom since glamorous anchor Anne Doyle retired from RTE at Christmas.
The popular TV personality, who is the co-anchor of RTE One's Six One News, first made her name on Nuacht before taking over teatime in 2005.
The beautiful newsreader is known for guarding her privacy and rarely gives interviews.
Her much-loved predecessor Anne Doyle has decided to retire last Christmas because she simply felt her time was up in front of the RTE cameras.
The 60 year old icon, who had been on the nightly news for 33 years, bowed out of Montrose with her last bulletin at end of the December.

The road to Florence isn't long when country music stars are in town. People flock from the East Valley to the Country Thunder music festival, spurring the question: What else is there to see in Florence? It didn't take long to find an answer — alpacas.
Twenty of the long-necked lamoids will get haircuts April 27-28 at the first Florence Wool and Shearing Festival at JMS Alpaca Farm, and herd owners George and Pat Skelton are inviting anyone and everyone to attend, free of charge.
"We have a shearing table, and what we do is strap them to the table and then pull the table up so it's level. Somebody holds their head, and there's a big electric shearer. It takes probably 15 minutes," says Pat.
From there, spectators can follow the voluminous mounds of shorn fiber over to the machines used to process it.
"We tumble it to get dirt out. Then it's washed and dried and put through a picker, which looks like a medieval type of machine with a lot of nails. Usually the kids will get involved with the carder; they can't resist a machine like that. It's hand turned," says Pat.
The no-frills affair will also feature a "petting park" with baby alpacas, kid goats and probably some bunnies. Other alpaca farmers throughout Arizona will be there, too, with tents full of scarves, gloves, hats, socks, pet toys and other alpaca-fleece products for sale.
Kids will get to feed the alpacas treats and generally hang out with them. The animals are gentle and easy to handle, according to the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association. They don't have incisors, horns, hooves or claws.
"Kids love animals, and alpacas love kids. They're not scared of children, and alpacas are so curious," says Pat.
Eight years ago, when they were new to Arizona and new to retirement, the animal-loving Skeltons thought they might adopt a wild burro or mustang from the Bureau of Land Management. But then they crossed paths with a South American member of the camel family, and that was it.
"You look into those big eyes with their long eyelashes, and you just fall in love with them," says Pat. "They're so soothing that they're actually used as therapy animals in some places. They don't make any noise other than a hum. They'll come and give you what we call 'alpaca kisses,' where they'll put their nose to yours."
The Skeltons' last shearing event, held last fall when they still lived in Casa Grande, drew 500 spectators. They say they can welcome more people at their more spacious Florence farm, which is about 40 minutes from Mesa.
What: Watch 20 alpacas get their hair cut, pet baby animals and pick up goods made from alpaca fleece at the Florence Wool and Shearing Festival
When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 27-28
Where: JMS Alpaca Farm, 22795 E. Cactus Forest Road, Florence
Cost: Free admission and parking
Information: (520) 464-6204

The Chattanooga State signee scattered seven hits, struck out nine and walked just two batters -- both in the bottom of the sixth to load the bases with one out. Swindoll the calmly pitched out of the jam with back-to-back strikeouts.
"The coaches were calling good pitches and I just had to settle down and do what I've been doing all season," Swindoll said, "We've got a good defense back there and I knew if they hit it -- our guys would make a play."
DH Austin Godwin led off the second innine with a double down the leftfield line, then scored when Tanner Martin drilled a double to the gap in leftcenter. Martin came around to score on Gunner Osborne's single for a two-run lead against Silverdale starter and loser Joey Szollosi.
FCS picked up a pair of insurance runs in the top of the sixth on an infield error, a wild pitch and a single by Osborne.
Caleb Snider, Swindoll and Osborne each had two hits for Friendship. Josiah Green paced the Silverdale offensive attack with a pair of singles.
Silverdale finished the season 29-4 while FCS pickedup itsTSSAA state title -- the first coming in 2007.
Over the past two academic years, Friendship Christian has notched back-to-back state championships in Class 2A football, back-to-back Class A volleyball titles and a 2012 Class A boys basketball championship.

Second Chance For "Accidental" Face Mangler
Oof, Dear Sugar got a little deep this week. Anonymous posted a "Group Therapy" topic called "My Boyfriend Accidently Hit Me", asking for advice as to whether she should give him a second chance. To recap the incident: Boyfriend got drunk, passed out in bed. Girlfriend stayed up chatting with brother. Girlfriend tried to go to bed, but couldn't get any covers. Boyfriend woke up, fight ensued. Brother stepped in, Boyfriend got violent. Girlfriend tried to stop the blows and ended up with "two black eyes and a bloody nose." Boyfriend has promised to quit drinking and go to therapy. Our opinion is that two black eyes and a bloody nose aren't usually "accidental". Sayonara, loser! [Dear Sugar]

Hey Chicks,
Hope you are having a fab week and managing to stay cool! After finishing filming of our upcoming TV series "Shape Up with FIT CHICKS" on Rogers TV (I can't believe we filmed 24 episodes in 5 weeks!), I headed to Las Vegas for a short snapper weekend and while reading a food magazine on the plane, I got reintroduced to one of my fave bbq side salads – Watermelon Feta Mint Salad!
It is one of those dishes that is super refreshing, healthy, easy to make but makes you look like a real food connoisseur (I am all about looking fancy on a budget…clothing wise and food:)
Here is my fave recipe for this super salad that I have to give full credit to the lovely Paula Deen from the Food Network for with a couple small changes to suit my tastes. I swap the red wine vinegar for aged balsamic and the sweet onion for red onion. Alot of her dishes are not too healthy as she is a Southern Lady but this one is a fave and is great with fish:
1 (5-pound) watermelon
1 Vidalia or other sweet onion (I like red onions and it looks pretty!)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (I actually prefer an aged balsamic in this but red wine works too!)
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 whole mint sprigs
Cut the flesh from the melon and cut into bite size pieces, removing and discarding the seeds, and set aside. Peel and slice the onion into rings.
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, pepper, and whisk until salt is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time. Add in the chopped mint, taste, and adjust seasonings.
In a large bowl, combine the melon, onion, and feta. Pour the dressing over the melon mixture and toss gently until everything is coated and evenly mixed. Garnish with mint sprigs.
To serve, divide salad among individual plates and garnish with mint leaves.
What is your fave summer salad chicks?
Have a fab day!
Your Head Chick, Laura
PS We are still rocking our outdoor bootcamps and the next session starts July 30th…hope to see your fab faces there!

The shoes fit my child perfect he thought they were very comfortable. Even the dog thought they were great tasking as he got a hold of them the first day and proceeded to chew the cleats off of them. Guess i need to
Bought these online in a last minute rush to find a second pair of back up cleats for my 6 year old. Since these have arrived he has worn these more often than his more expensive UA pair. He says they're more comfortable & feels like he has better control of the ball. If his feet didn't gorw, these cleats would last many seasons! Nike is always my go-to brand for athletic cleats for my younger kids!
These shoes arrived quickly and the quality is great for the price! My 5yr old son loves them and says they feel good. He has already worm them for a couple of soccer games now
I purchased the cleats, shin guards and a soccer ball and I am extremely pleased with all the products. The shipping was fast and everything was packaged well.
My 6 year old decided at the last minute to play indoor soccer for the 1st time and I needed an indoor soccer shoe quick. Academy had a good selection but this shoe was by far the best quality for the price. Free 2 day shipping was great also. My son loves these shoes so much he wants to wear them to school too! I looked them over when them came in because I am quite the sneaker head and they are great quality shoes. I've bragged about this shoe, the amazing price and quick shipping to everyone ... I know! Thanks academy for a heck of a deal :))
My thin-framed 7 year old son currently wears a Size 1.5 in sneakers, so I got him the same size with these soccer shoes. When he tried them on, they were narrow and had absolutely no wiggle room in the back or front. Since we don't have an Academy store within 50 miles of where I live, and I didn't want to deal with return shipping, we kept the item. My son doesn't seem to mind, but he will outgrow these in two months. Would I buy these again? Sure. The price can't be beat for indoor soccer ... shoes, and they have held up so far during 40 hours of indoor play. My son says he can feel himself "turn corners" faster. I'm assuming this means that the grip is good? The white front isn't as glaring with his blue uniform as I thought it would be. Overall, if I had ordered a half size up, I would have been completely satisfied with my order.
it is more durable compared to other kid soccer shoes... Kids needs long lasting shoes like this :) their feet getting bigger but they cant damage this shoes.. Definitely suggest this....
My daughter wanted the Adidas Samba shoes for Christmas, after visiting the store on they're grand opening the gentleman Chris in the shoe dept helped us immediately on the shoes we wetted looking for. After trying a few pair on, the size she needed wasn't in the store. He offered to online order it for us and it would go directly to our home. He was very help through the entire process of trying to find the shoe to ordering the shoes. We then shopped around the store and everyone in the store ... was very helpful and ready to help us find anything or even if we just had a question. Thank you for the location of Academy near our home. We have already visited the store 4 times this month, everytime making different purchases. We enjoy and look forward to continue shopping at the new Bandera and 1604 location.
Bought these online for my 5 y/o. Didn't want to spend a lot of money because his feet grow so fast. Very pleased with this product. Good look and he says they feel great. Would definitely recommend this product.
I still can't get over how great of quality these shoes are for the price I paid, I got my 8yo half a size bigger then he normally wears and they fit perfect. I would definitely recommend these !!
My son loved it. I would surely recommend these cleats
Bought my son soccer shoes. Great price, great shoes.
I ordered this cleat in the store and we got it delivered to our home. This cleat is perfect fit for my son. The studs are strong and is giving good stability while running. The extra padding around the ankle gives a greater comfort during the game. Worth buying.
My son loves his new cleats! Fits true to size and comfortable.
We bought these a month ago and the shoes are still holding up. My son is 12 and plays competitive soccer. He has practice 3 times a week and is very hard on his cleats. So far so good on these. Plus, he loves the colors.
I purchased these cleats for my son 3 weeks ago. He wears them for baseball, because baseball cleats always would hurt his heels. Since I used to play soccer I recommended he try a pair of soccer cleats instead. He says they are comfortable and hasn't limped or complained of his heels hurting him after baseball practice and games.
You will always know where your player is on the field in these soccer cleates. Super comfortable too!
Great service and timely delivery, so happy with my order!!!
I bought them for my grandson for Christmas. He will love them.
I really love this shoes, and my son is so happy with them. I will definitely recommend this. They're really my favorite indoor shoes ever
My son loved the indoor soccer shoes now he wants another pair but he has to wait for me to save money he says that they are very contable and he could run faster

Meet the Arctic Tern in Its Natural Habitat: Kitsissunnguit
The Arctic tern lives near the ocean or at the brim of lakes, and is found in great numbers in the archipelago Kitsissunnguit. Kitsissunnguit is located in Disko Bay, only a 1-2 hour boat ride away from the city Aasiaat. The islands of Kitsissunnguit have been preserved since 1988 due to the extensive birdlife and the many breeding Arctic terns. Birdwatchers still have access to the islands, giving bird lovers a unique view of the Arctic terns' life in their natural environment.
Be Able to Identify the Arctic Tern
The Arctic tern is a relatively little bird, and it looks quite elegant with its white feathers and black forehead. It is approximately 33-39 cm in length and has a wingspan of 66-77 cm. The Arctic tern can become as old as 30 years and they live together in colonies when breeding. They mostly feed on small fish, such as capelins, fry and small crustaceans that live in the surface of the nearby ocean and lakes.
There isn't much difference between the sexes, except for the males' slightly longer tail feathers. When the terns are born they have a greyish or brownish down which is replaced with the white feathers with brown markings later on.
The Arctic terns start breeding at the age of two, arriving at Kitsissunnguit and places like it, in May and June before they go south for the winter. The Arctic tern is the longest flying bird, covering the immense distance from the Atlantic Sea to western Europe and along Africa's west coast to the Antarctic waters. When reaching the coasts of Greenland, the Arctic terns start building their nests directly on the sandy beaches or in close vegetation near the lakes. They'll then lay and nurture their eggs, and 21 days later the eggs will hatch and the youngs are born. The youngs stay in the nest for the next couple of days before they start exploring their nearby surroundings. After another 21 days the youngs start flying and they're now all grown up.
An Incredibly Social Bird
The Arctic tern is a rather social bird that prefers to live together with a lot of other terns in big colonies. The colonies usually consist of 10,000-20,000 tern couples, and it is estimated that Greenland is visited by 65,000 mating couples in every heavy mating year.
With so many birds crammed together at a relatively small space gives the tern a great advantage relative to protecting themselves against predators. Most birds are threatened by dangers such as humans, foxes, gulls and falcons, but the terns are known for their ability to scare these off. It is so safe near the Arctic tern colonies, that other types of birds live right next to them for protection.

In the wild, birds and mammals often pay attention to other species in their environment when it comes to sounding the alarm. An extra pair of eyes and ears can be handy when it comes to safety. But as researchers have discovered, the drongo can't be trusted. Perched high up in a tree a drongo watches with keen interest as meerkats forage, and when one of them catches something, an insect or lizard, the drongo sounds its own alarm call, anticipating that the meerkat will drop its prey and head for cover. However, the foraging meerkats are likely to ignore the drongo after it has used its own alarm call a few times. Undaunted, the drongo will switch to the alarm call of another bird species, often with successful results.
During the study, Flower and his colleagues tracked and recorded the calls of 42 drongos as they attempted to steal food from the same target. It was noted that of the 151 recorded incidents, the drongos switched to a different alarm call a total of 74 times. After giving its own alarm call without success, a drongo may give the alarm call of its target, which general proved successful.
Flower notes that he doubts the birds have 'theory of mind' – the ability to understand that another being has different beliefs and intentions – which is currently only attributable to humans. It's more likely that they are responding to feedback, or have an ability to grasp cause and effect, and use this to their advantage. Nonetheless, this is another example of the keen intelligence of the feathered creatures that share our planet.]]>
Severe anthropogenic impacts across the globe have severely and negatively impacted the natural ecosystems, biomes, habitats and environments. As a consequence, global wildlife including avifauna have been significantly impacted due to environmental pollution, climate change, spread and dissemination of different diseases, uncontrolled and unattended forest fires, habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation, illegal infringements and grazing in protected areas, capture, hunting and poaching of several vulnerable species, introduction of exotic species, infrastructural developments in fragile ecosystems and expansion of agriculture and industries among several other important factors. The currency bills, coins and postage stamps of different countries have been increasingly reflecting the local wildlife, including avifauna, as an important national heritage and resource. This silent approach has an important nationalistic as well as international appeal in prioritizing wildlife and avifauna conservation.
Several currency bills, coins and postage stamps have now been specifically designed and released to address the avifauna hallmark of different modern nations. Such iconic and socio-cultural bonding to national avifauna resources could be well connected and utilized for conservation of several threatened, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered avifauna members around the globe. These not only help in communicating the message of conservation of birds of national, regional and local importance among local community members; but also carry the universal message of bird conservation through dedicated numismatists and philatelists to the international community. Global avian members are being challenged with several natural as well as anthropogenic factors that are threatening several vulnerable species with the risks of extinction. Hence it is important to utilize every possible opportunity for portraying the need for avian conservation. The iconographic presentation of different species of birds through currency bills, coins and postage stamps is an important, innovative and interesting avenue in popularizing conservation of different avifauna members. This could be considered as a new and important approach in capturing avian conservation through national heritage and iconography. Several responsible nations across the continents of Asia, Africa, Australia, the Americas and Europe have already come forward in using bird icons in their currency bills, coins and postage stamps. However, more countries need to be involved, particularly the developing and under developed nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America that represent the bulk of the grandeurs of global avian biodiversity. By working together, we could utilize this innovative avenue to be an important ambassador for popularizing conservation of birds among global communities.

Although birds are delicate and small in appearance yet they have inspired some of the most challenging human quests for freedom, flight, beauty and nurture. But what have we given them in return? I ask myself this question, as I see the city gradually replacing its rocks and trees with glass and steel corporate structures.
Birds in and around Gachibowli, a place which is fast becoming a symbol of India's hyper-modern corporate sheen, seem to have found refuge in the campus. The calm and green expanse of this institution has become a 'Birdopia': a place where these birds can live, love and laugh, freely. The purpose of this collection is not only to highlight the beauty and diversity of the birds but also their discovery of an almost utopic space within the swamps, trees and gardens of the university.

Many people find themselves unable to care for a parrot once they buy one. Perhaps they are too messy, or too loud, or not social enough. Other times, the owner may have financial or health problems, and as much as they love their bird, they truly can no longer care for him or her. These parrots usually do not end up in a parrot rescue; instead, they are usually turned in to a local animal shelter. Generally, shelters are not good environments for parrots – they are very loud, the employees are generally not able to give the birds a lot of attention, and they are very rarely able to provide toys or treats. That is where a parrot rescue comes in. They take the animal from the shelter, and put them either in their own facility, or in a foster home. Either way, they are generally able to provide the level of care that the bird needs. Many potential parrot owners prefer to adopt from parrot rescues rather than animal shelters, because the rescues generally are able to spend time with their birds and are able to provide a better description of their behaviors and personalities.
If you decide to adopt from a shelter rather than a rescue, be careful. Although your bird may have been turned in for no fault of its own, and it could be a perfectly nice pet, he also could have been surrendered for various behavior problems. Ask an employee if they know what the reason for surrender was, or if they have noticed any behavior problems during the birds' time at the shelter. Ask them if you can spend a little time with the bird; sometimes, a shelter will have a 'visitation room,' where you can spend some time alone with your potential new best friend. Remember, sometimes birds will act up in the shelter – they may be frightened and screech loudly, or they could be so scared that they shy away from human contact. The shelter environment is loud and frightening, especially to a small bird like a parakeet, cockatiel or parrotlet. However, even the biggest macaw may act unusually in this loud and scary place.
You may find that you don't want to adopt from a shelter after all. You might want to adopt from a breeder, where they have truly known the bird its whole life, and can tell you practically everything about it. But remember- if you adopt a bird from a scary situation, you are their hero. Even though you might not realize it, your friend will feel grateful. If you are considering a new avian friend, please consider dropping by a shelter or parrot rescue before you buy from a breeder.

admirably good; surpassingly
But only a moment ago you were leading me to believe I'd turned out at least passing fair.
I can say that with truth—but it is passing fair to look upon.
Thou wilt be passing fair as a queen, Salom, if it please thee to ask for the half of my kingdom.
And certainly she was passing fair, and queenly with her diamond comb.
They were so passing fair, that all who saw them wondered, and all who wondered loved.
One of the two knights had to wife a passing fair lady, right gracious of manner and sweet of tongue.
The daughters of neighboring Philistia were to his eyes more than passing fair.
passing fair was the lady; she wept full piteously, and never was dame more sorrowful than she.
I foresee that nobody will be willing to practice the 'freeze-out' on an innocent man, passing fair, if he is a substitute.
He accepted their gift, receiving the lady with a right glad heart, for she was passing fair.

Last Night: Lady Gaga at the American Airlines Center
Lady Gaga
American Airlines Center
March 14, 2011
Better than: missing out on the chance to see a pop icon like Gaga at her peak.
Ra ra, ra-ah-ah. Roma roma-ma. Gaga, oh la la.
Stephen Masker
"I am certain that Jesus must love EVERYBODY," Gaga roared into her mic at American Airlines Center last night. "Jesus loves everybody."
Gaga was preaching.

"I told you we were going to church tonight," the scantily clad pop (sensation) purred into her mic, before introducing her half-nude, S&M attired guitarist, Michael. "I like Michael 'cause he likes girls from Texas."
The girls in the audience squealed.
"I also like Michael because he likes boys from Texas," she said, and the stadium roared.
Gaga then got down on the ground and slid her body under Michael's legs, all the while panting heavily into the mic, grabbing his thigh and planting a kiss on his knee. An enormous statue of the eternal fountain, centrally located on stage, started to bleed: "Tonight, my religion is Texas."
Synths filled the air, and Gaga crooned over top, all while shirtless dancers spun around on stage. Gaga launched into a lively and interactive version of "Alejandro" and the crowd sang every word along with her. The eternal fountain was now engulfed in flames, as Gaga bathed herself in the (hopefully faux) blood.
Indeed, Lady Gaga put on a sparkling show last night for the at packed house at American Airlines Center. With her over-the-top stage theatrics, imaginative costumes and expensive set designs, the pop star seamlessly transitioned between songs, dazzling her "little monsters" along the way.
And the pop star's efforts to embrace the Dallas crowd were apparent -- as she managed to work "Dallas" into her vocabulary a ton.
"Go ahead monsters, take my picture, I wanna be a Dallas star," she shouted before strumming on her Casio keyboard/bass hybrid instrument.
Actually, Gaga played several different instruments last night -- at one point sitting down at a grand piano to play a slowed down version of "Born This Way," making it clear to the audience that she's not your average rinky-dink pop star. No, she's a multi-instrumentalist -- and she has one hell of a set of pipes on her.
She's got messages, too: The night was filled with uplifting motivational speeches and rants, saying everything from "I want you to leave loving yourself a little bit more when you walk out" to "This music industry sucks so much" to "I really don't like the truth; I prefer a giant dose of bullshit any day."
Only minutes later, she launched into a lengthy rant about never ever lip-syncing, ever, not at her concerts -- not on TV, never. Also? How people should "never pay money to see some blonde bitch lip sync."
She was all over the place -- both in her rants, but also with her catalog. And she made sure she covered all the hits -- one twice, even. She ended the night with a "Born This Way" encore.
After the vivacious performance, Gaga grabbed hands with her dancers, and they bowed together as the curtain fell.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: I'm definitely not one of Gaga's "little monsters." But at least now I know how to "put my paws up."
By The Way: Gaga announced that she will no longer be playing just arena shows. "I will be playing shows wherever I want, for free," she said. Which explains her pop-up show at the Round-Up Saloon late on Sunday night.
Random Note: There were a whole lot of children under the age of 10 at the American Airlines Center last night. I wonder if their parents knew how much profanity, junk-grabbing and blood-bathing was in store when they shelled out money for these tickets...

Sorry don't have a better answer.. No, I don't have full filename-inode mappings from before the corruption. I guess such a list from the filesystem mounted with -o "ro,norecovery" won't help here? If the journal is corrupt, is there anyway to salvage only that part so that the log replay will proceed further (ie "xfs_log_repair")? I'm not nearly expert enough to parse the stacktrace triggered by mounting the filesystem, but it seems some calls to xlog_recover_-functions are involved, which make me think that the log is corrupt.

Does any body else have a problem transferring files to/from a
wireless-connected Vista system and a LAN-connected Vista machine? I
do -- the transfers frequently hang up and drop the wireless
connection until I manually abort the transfer.
It never happened between wireless Vista and cable-connected Win2K --
only if both systems are Vista, and there are multiple, embedded .zip

unzipping/zipping without timing out somewhere.
Has anyone else seen this, and has anyone found a solution?

Particle Size Reduction
British Rema offers a range of size reduction mills and micronisers capable of manufacturing to the most demanding particle size and size-distribution specifications. Applications range from the production of active pharmaceutical powders through fine chemicals to large-scale mineral processing plant.
Air micronisers (or jet mills) are applied to the superfine grinding of a wide range of materials, particularly where the feed material is already relatively fine. The technique relies on particle-on-particle impact to break down the material. There are two types of mill: (i) a spiral flow jet mill which is commonly used in pharmaceutical applications due to the absence of any moving parts; (ii) an opposed jet mill which can handle harder materials with classification achieved by means of a high speed rotor.
Rotary impact mills, also known as beater mills, employ high-speed rotors with a rotor tip velocity of up to 120 m/s. Grinding takes place through the impact of the powder particles on the rotating and fixed grinding surfaces. Typically used for softer materials of up to 3 Mohs hardness, an impact mill provides a operationally cost-effective solution when hardness and particle size parameters fall within its range. British Rema also offers a classifier mill: based on the rotary impact mill principle, this range incorporates two-stage grinding with an integrated classification step, and the consequent recycling of oversize material enables finer particle sizes to be achieved than with a conventional impact mill.
Ball mills, and other forms of tumbling mills such as tube mills and rod mills, comprise a cylindrical shell slowly rotating around a horizontal axis, partially filled with a grinding medium (such as ceramic or steel balls) to which the material to be milled is introduced. Typical in the ores, minerals, paints and general chemicals industries, ball mills can be designed to operate continuously (fed at one end and discharged at the other), or on a batch basis for smaller, or intermittent, volumes.

Believe it or not, left out something I wanted to include in the post above.
In Tom's video, Jrue says his goal is to keep his turnovers to less than 3 per game. That's a fine goal, but I'd like to make it a more positive goal. More free throw attempts than turnovers, every game. It's a modest and achievable goal, and it's a bar he's fallen short of in 20 of 28 games so far this season.
"other times it results in a 20-foot jumper off the dribble rather than a drive into traffic that could result in a trip to the line (or a turnover)."
Do players/coaches actually think this way? Don't drive because you might turn the ball over, take a bad shot instead?
It was the case when Larry Brown was here- but it is a bit more complicated (not that I'm a fan of it.)
The rule mostly applies later in the shot clock, and has a lot to do with floor balance. Later in the shot clock defenders often leak out. In that setting, If you drive from the top of the key and miss then you have nobody back to prevent a run out. Add to that the Sixers get few O0boards, and driving in the last 8 seconds is really risky unless you have a good scheme to have 2 other players rotate back.
I was really high on Jrue being a star his season. I was sure he would be the teams go to player on offence and be the face of the franchise.
To me it all boils down to Jrue being patient. He seems to want to take over every game within the first 12 minutes. Could even be the fact that he read to much about himself in the media and it went to his head. When Jrue lets the game come to him he is much better.
About 1/3 of the way through last season Collins took away sole PG responsibilities from Jrue and made PG a shared position between Jrue, Iggy, Lou and ET. But if you look at team splits last year they did not really improve on either assists or TO as the season progressed. They were pretty much 22A/13TO most months.
I was hoping for Jrue to make a big leap this year either by re-assuming full PG responsibilities or becoming more of a scorer. So basically to become more of a DWade or a DWill. Obviously he will never be either of these guys for various reasons, but I was hoping for a step in that direction.
So either a higher scoring player who gets good assist numbers or similar scoring but much higher assists. Something in between would be more of a Payton.
But if anything, Jrue has maybe progressed more to being a Billups- sans FT's. He defends, takes care of the ball and hits big long range shots. But again, Billups got to the line 3 more times a game- and that made a big difference.
I'll post again the comparison between prime Billups, Payton and DWill as compared to Jrue this year. I'm not saying Jrue is close or will ever be close to any of these guys. More to look at the per 36 min and advanced stats to see what Jrue needs to do to make steps to be a more impactful offensive player. The most obvious being getting o the FT line.
Note I was not able to only select out this current season for Jrue, so they are his career numbers.
If Jrue is comfortable with taking his jumper, and one of the biggest concerns that we have with his offensive game is his seeming reticence to take the ball to the hole and get to the line, this would seem to argue even more for MORE JTI.
You still get ALL of the benefits of Jrue's impact on the defensive side of the ball, get Turner (who is definitely a better rebounder than either Meeks or Lou and certainly has the capability to be a better perimeter defender as well) out there to make both our defense and transition-offense stronger, take advantage of Turner's ability to help run/initiate the offense, and allow Jrue to use his size to create more offense, post up smaller PG's, and get to the line.
Not to turn this into another thread about Turner's minutes, but it seems pretty clear to me that if you want Jrue to get to the line more, having another guy out there to handle the ball and help run the offense would free Jrue up to look for his offense more...right?
The numbers for lineups with JTI are still pretty strong - yes?
JTI has been just as effective as Jrue, Meeks and Iguodala, although they've played less minutes against starters. I don't feel like getting into this argument again, but I don't really think there's ever a shortage of ballhandlers when Iguodala and Jrue are on the floor together.
Do you think that Jrue looks for his own shot - including taking it to the rim and getting to the line - when he is the guy who has, as a KEY priority, not turning the ball over?
I would LOVE to see Jrue be more aggressive with his offense....I just wonder if that is more difficult to do when Meeks (a traditional off-the-ball SG) is on the floor with him. He could do it if Lou (obviously a better ball-handler, who has impressively improved his willingness to distribute and facilitate), but then you would have two guys out there who could do much of the same thing.
Jrues an interesting player. Much like Iguodola, because he doesn't score a lot he will always be over looked. Much like Turner, it seems whenever he takes it to the hole hes incredibly efficient. It just doesn't seem like he does it that much. Very nice article Brian. Which made me think as I was reading---is writing about the Sixers a profession for you or is it just for fun ? Either way, great job. Just wondering.
Nah, don't make my living doing this. Usually, it's just for the fun of it.
Surprisingly, the numbers say that Jrue is ineffective at taking the ball to the hoop as compared to his teammates. I will post the numbers later.
Off topic, but has anyone seen this Iguodala interview? A very good reporter who really lured out the voice in iggy's head.
Who is the reporter?
I think it's Keith Russell:
Name the player that Mitchell misspelled twice today at Philly.com. Not knowing player's names is sad for a beat writer.
I'm guessing Iguodala. Everyone else seems to have an easy name to spell. I still get the "o" and "u" mixed up in Iggy's last name.
That would be Anderson VareJOU?
I wish there was a more diplomatic way to say this, but John Mitchell blows.
I only brought it up because he did in twice in the same article. Maybe he will grow into the job?
Then I go and make a typo... But I am posting from a phone.
Maybe Mitchell wrote that from his phone as well?
I doubt it - he seems very disinterested. Almost like this is a rebound job for him.
I know some people disagreed with Kate Fagan's opinions (I did myself sometimes), but she worked very hard. Her blog was updated almost daily in addition to her frequent columns. Marc Narducci handles the "Deep Sixer" blog more than Mitchell does. He completely mails it in and you can tell he doesn't know much about this team.
Fagan was exactly what you'd think the Inquirer would be looking for in a role like this...a young go-getter with talent and ambition...she was aggressive in using all available opportunities to maximize the potential of her job & demonstrate the versatility that media companies prize above all else in this climate(thus her diligence with the blog as an outlet for multimedia content. She knew her basketball, she worked hard at her job and her coverage always tried to translate what was going on with the team into an informed narrative. Certainly you could find different things to object to-seemed to me like she reached for stories occasional but can you really blame her?at least she consistently brought something to the table beyond "sixers won, balanced scoring, bench contributions, collins had this to say."
Kate made the most of her stay, has moved on to i wanna say part of the espn family?don't remember except that i remember thinking it was a deep pocketed outfit that she landed with
Interesting analysis, Brian.
Jrue's offensive numbers are down, but his defensive performance has been so much better that his net impact on the team is much more positive than last year. That means he's no longer on the "superstar path," but he's now on the more important "winning impact" path.
The most encouraging sign for Jrue is his assist numbers this month: 5.6 ast/g to 1.4 tov/g. So he's increased his assists and lowered his turnovers vs. his season averages. If that continues, Collins will trust him more and more to make the "risky" passes that lead to easy baskets. And the Sixers would then have two players who are top-5 at their positions at assist-to-turnover-ratio.
It's an interesting notion that someone brought up above: Jrue has gotten better in an "Iguodala kind of way" -- his offensive stats don't show it, but the team is much better for it.
Jrue would join both Iggy and Lou in that regard.
took me a second to get what you were saying. Yeah, Lou's assist-to-turnover ratio is off the charts as well.
I wonder what Lou brings back in a trade? I think Turner is ready to take on his role and be this team's Harden. Not sure if the Sixers could get a good big or maybe absorb a bad contract and get a first in this year's deep draft?
Are you confident he can fill the role Lou plays? For all his warts, Lou's an efficient scorer and that's really what they need him for. Turner could handle the minutes, for sure, but I haven't seen anything from him that tells me he can carry the offense with his scoring.
This is the way to go in my opinion. Lou only makes $5M but he will demand more when he opts out at the end of the year. Is he worth the money Thad got? I don't think we can afford that. I think we could make out well in a Lou trade because he is respected around the league and he's cheap. Turner is considered a disappointment who has slightly improved so he wouldn't bring back anything good in a trade, especially with his #2 pick contract.
Turner won't score like Lou but I think combined with Thad and the rest of the bench they can make up for some of it.
I know Lou's numbers are great but I still don't think it's good for this team the way he dominates the ball. Good Lou makes up for Bad Lou for sure, but Bad Lou shows up too damn much.
It would depend on who they got back in the deal, but I'm really, really hesitant to move Lou this season. The team gets stuck on offensive way too frequently, and often he's the only guy who can unstick them and just get some points. I think that's just the reality right now and I don't see Turner as the guy who's going to be able to step into that role.
Brian, what do you think are the chances that Lou opts out this offseason, and then asks for a contract we can't afford?
I understand it may hurt the team short term to trade Lou (unless Thorn works some magic), but if we don't how likely is it that he's back on the team next year with a reasonable contract?
And - at a time that we will have the potential to be materially under the cap (depending on what we do with Brand), how desirable is it to spend a big chunk of that money on a guy who plays a position where we already have a fair amount of resources already on the roster?
I sort of answered this below, or asked a different question. I really have no idea. I think he'd get more money on the open market. I don't think the sixers should pay him more than he's making now (can't invest what amounts to a max contract in 2 bench guys, imo), so it looks like he'll leave or they'll overpay. I guess part of me is wondering if he really loves it here, and if he does, would he just play out the contract?
I wouldn't do it unless it was a good deal for us, but I'm thinking more about next year than this year. I have had more fun watching this team this year than I have in years, but I still don't think we have a remote chance of winning a title yet. We're going to need to make a significant move at some point to get there. I'm looking at this roster and I'm pretty much ok with trading anyone on it, although I wouldn't trade Jrue or Iguodala unless we got a superstar in return. Trading Lou would hurt us short term but he probably won't be here next year unless we overpay him.
I agree getting something of value back for Lou now makes sense for the long term, I just don't think they'll do anything that downgrades the team this year, not w/ this start and new ownership blah, blah, blah.
I'm actually kind of interested in seeing what Lou does. There's definitely more money out there for him if he opts out. I don't doubt that for a second. I'm wondering how much he wants to be here. All we hear is how he's a leader in that locker room. He's never, ever said anything bad about his role coming off the bench. He's really been a team guy as far as that's concerned. I just wonder if he wants to leave, if he wants to go somewhere to start, or I guess the ultimate question is how much does it mean to these guys to keep the group together.
I read somewhere Jeremy Lin's popularity may make Time Warner cave in their battle w/ MSG. If that's the case, I hope he keeps this up just long enough to get MSG back on my TV before the Sixers play the Knicks again.

Awesome story idea! I love the fact that Tomari was forced to admit her love for Hazumu in front of everyone (and give her a big 'ol smooch!). I loved the tension in the classroom scene. My only problem was the little bit of bad language. I don't think Hazumu would ever use the F-word. You wrote something about them being married in the "f-ing clouds". I don't object to the language itself, it just doesn't fit the character's personality.

On My Mind Today
I also attempted shopping for jeans on Sunday. This ended up not being fun. Over the course of several shopping trips the past two month, I have determined that I cannot buy jeans at the following locations: The Limited (which is where I used to get them but they no longer have a style that fits me right), Old Navy, American Eagle, Delia's, Aéropostale, Kohl's, Goody's, Express, NY & Co., and Target. I'm going to have to break down and start looking at the more expensive ones. I don't mind the idea of paying a lot for one pair of jeans if I can find a pair that fit me exactly the way I want them to fit. I can get by a bit longer without buying new ones, but eventually I need to find some that fit. My biggest problem? They usually fit everywhere except the waist... and then they look like they fit in the front, but they have a terrible gape in the back that I can usually stick both my fists in. A belt wouldn't help because then it'll just cause a bunch of wadded denim in the back. Grrr... I really hate shopping for pants.
I have about $50 in gift cards at Target. I wandered around the other day and didn't see anything I just had to have. I don't want to waste it on stuff I don't really need. I'm thinking I might hang on to them and buy myself a Wii for my birthday (which is 4 months away, so I may buy it early). As usual, I have to mull over such a large purchase for at least a month or two. It's just the way I roll when something costs more than $100.
I have yet to make it to the pool, but I did buy some swim goggles this past weekend so I'm set. I can't wait to start being active again! I get to start running Feb. 4th, so I'm also looking forward to that. I'm hoping swimming will help me get some fitness back before I start back with more lower body stuff. I also want to get to Arms & Abs over the next few weeks so I can build some core and upper body strength up again, too!
Tonight... and I know this is going to make some people laugh... I'm going to a Celine Dion concert. My sister and I knew how much our mom wanted to go, so we surprised her on Christmas morning with tickets. Granted, we'll be in the nose bleed section and probably watch the video screens if we really want to see things, but it should be a good time. I used to dance, so I always enjoy a good show where there's lots of dancing like what she's supposed to have. Report to come tomorrow.
I'm still working on those 2009 goals to post in time. I realize it's taking me the first month of the year to plan the year, but January doesn't really count in my opinion. It's such a blah sort of month, don't you think? :)

My absolute favorite jeans (which are expensive but you can usually find them much cheaper on Ebay!) are Citizens of Humanity Faye jeans. They stretch and are as comfortable as PJs but they still can look nice enough for work/going out.
No comment on Celine Dion :)

ok I totally have the same problem when it come to jeans! I have a tiny waist so the jeans always fit in the butt and thigh area but NEVER at the waist. Finally i just threw my hands up and bought the ones that gape in the back!

The first intense clip from Universal Pictures' upcoming action movie starring Jason Statham has been unearthed.
Paul W.S. Anderson's action movie "Death Race" has released the claimed-to-be first clip of the movie. Displaying the scene where Jensen Ames played by Jason Statham is navigating through the rain of fire let out by his competitors, the clip shows the intensity of the deathly race which ends with a big bang.
Following Ames' fight for freedom, "Death Race" tells the story of the ex-con who is framed for a murder and his task in joining an insane three-day challenge set by Terminal Island's warden. Facing the most vicious criminals in the country, the three-time speedway champion now has to outsmart and outgun the others to come out alive.
Starring Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson, Ian McShane and many others, the Universal Pictures' flick will blow out in theaters on August 22.

The Washington Post can't find a liberal label anywhere (merely the word "activist") to describe the boutique-left agenda of the Arlington (Virginia) County Board. They're "Targeting Smoking, Trans Fats, and Cars," says the Post headline on Kirstin Downey's story. How anti-car are they?
Board member Jay Fisette (D) will lead Arlington's effort to promote what Tejada called a "car-free diet." Fisette displayed a T-shirt with the slogan, "I lost 2,000 pounds in one day," and referred people to a county Web site, http://www.carfreediet.com, which calculates how much money people could save by getting rid of their car and how much weight they could lose.
Fisette also plans to promote a regional bike-sharing program, as some European cities have done.
Car-free diet? Who's proposed eating a car?
Fisette is usually celebrated by Post reporters for being openly gay.
