Helping you get in touch with the road without sacrificing all cushioning and protection, the Brooks PureConnect features moderate cushioning and a firm ride.
Get connected to the road you love so much. The Brooks PureConnect is lightweight and nimble, with a simple, flexible design that lets you feel the road, yet still provides ample protection against its hard surface. This shoe has a lower heel-to-toe drop to promote more natural forefoot striking, and a minimal upper that hugs the foot in lightweight, breathable mesh. Perfect as a lightweight daily trainer, this shoe also does great for racing and tempo runs.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.3 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (20mm), Forefoot (15mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The PureConnect is a minimum featured, minimum neutral shoe designed for daily training or racing.
Comments: This shoe is amazing! Fits like a glove and super comfortable. However if you have wide feet you should probably stay away from this shoe. Did 17 miles straight out of the box and no blisters. Great job Brooks!
From: Cris, Boston MA, USA
Comments: I got these a while back and they are really light. The price was outstanding and the shipping was expedient.
From: Alfonzo, Hubert, NC, USA
Comments: I have 115 miles on my Pure Connects now, so I think I can give them a thorough review.
The fit is narrow and snug, certainly not for a wide or high-volume foot. The heel cup is tight and provides excellent retention. There's ample room for the big toe, with a slightly pointed toe-box. This is only a "minimal" shoe in certain senses. It's light, and has a low heel-to-toe drop, yes. But there's a mild heel counter, sculpted arch support, and snug fit. The result is a shoe that I'd gladly use for racing marathons, and is my go-to long-run shoe when my feet are feeling beat up. They run very well sock-less, and the elastic tongue retainer and close fit lets them be worn without laces. This makes them an excellent triathlon shoe - transitions are incredibly fast! Draining is excellent as well, as the open mesh breathes and vents as well as any shoe I've ever worn. The midsole is a Medium on the soft-to-firm scale. It's not racing-flat responsive, but feels quick and nimble. Cushion is lacking compared to a typical pavement-pounding trainer, but is totally sufficient for lighter runners with a smooth stride. (I'm 150lb, 6', and have a slight heel strike and efficient mechanics). The extra beef under the forefoot compared to a racing flat helps me feel fresher longer, and would accommodate a pure midfoot striker very well. There's just enough rubber in just the right spots. What appears to be green EVA+ is just that in some places, but is actually foamy green rubber in others. The black is all very grippy rubber, which is showing only moderate wear after 115 miles (plus some around-town wear).
I run off-road a lot, and this shoe is awful at it, even compared to normal road shoes. The mesh upper seems to be a one-way sieeve for dirt and debris, allowing it in freely, but not back out. The smooth sole is awful on slick mud or wet grass. The protection and cushion are wonderful on trails, but the upper and outsole aren't up to the task. If the trail is gravel or firm-packed girt it's fine, but beware sand, grit, and mud. The best use is what the description page says - "lightweight everyday trainer". It's got the support and cushion to not beat you up, but provides a little more feedback and stride reinforcement than a typical beef shoe. It also races very well, especially triathlons where it's nearly perfect, better than most tri-specific shoes in my opinion. It is not a true minimal shoe, and will disappoint people looking for a Hattori or Road Glove competitor.
From: Phil, Montrose, PA
Comments: I've always had issues with shin splints, so running has never been my first choice when it comes to exercise. I read a few reviews on these shoes and decided to take the chance. I absolutely LOVE these shoes- I'm not any kind of long distance runner, but they have been great this last week on runs under up to 5k. As soon as I took the first few strides they felt awesome!!
From: Mike, Coupeville, Washington, USA
Comments: Utilized this shoe during my recent 2012 Chicago Marathon 20-week Training Program. Actually, just cracked open my 2nd pair of Pure Connects (1st pair lasted about 250 miles). Bought 1/2 size larger than I wear. Very snug and comfortable trainer. Used for track work and road speed work. Did not use for runs longer than 9 miles (due to lack of cushioning). I must like them, since I am on pair #2. A great marathon trainer (but, not a long mileage shoe).
From: John, Florida
Comments: I actually did NOT like these shoes. I wear a 9.5D, and I bought these shoes about a month ago at City Sports. They were quite snug in the toe area. When I wore them, they felt like I was balanced on balls, and I always felt unstable. Anyways, I went on a long run, and my foot expanded a bit, compressing my toe. I was able to exchange them for another Brooks running shoe - the PureFlow which is slightly less minimalistic. This shoe has more room in the toe box and I don't feel like I'm balanced on balls. Finally, I went up to a 10D. Pretty good light weight shoe.
From: Hari, Cambridge, MA, USA
Comments: These shoes are great for me. I am working on changing my gait, and the low toe-to-heel drop is very helpful.
From: Michael, Brooklyn, NY, USA
Comments: I run 4-5 days per week and have now logged hundreds of miles with these shoes and I will say I NEVER plan to return to the overly padded shoe of the 90's into the 2k's! These shoes have enough protection to avoid road debris, yet are flexible and breathable enough to leave you with a "barely there" feel. I'm really looking forward to the Pure Connect 2 coming soon, though, If they make too many changes, I'll buy up 2-3 of these when the prices drop
for the new model!
From: Rudy, Reno, Nevada, USA
Comments: This is the BEST shoe EVER!!!...for me. I've done plenty of long runs, as well as a 20 mile race. The soft forefoot allows me to run as hard near the end of a run as I did at the start.(usually the areas around the balls of my feet are so sore that I am running gingerly to avoid the pain = a whole lot more stress on my quads) Yes, my feet had to adjust to the high arch, but it really works perfectly for me. Come to think of it, probably a big part of why I have less forefoot pain; lets my mid-foot carry some weight. The wear doesn't seem be be as bad as most other shoes I've worn(about 6 weeks, max), but since I'm alternating between two different pairs, I'll have to see; but I'll wear then regardless. Love 'em!!
From: Jeff, Reston, Va
Comments: I have very narrow feet, so these shoes fit my feet well. However, I cannot run in them, at least not on roads. Far too much cushion, and the very odd shaping of the forefoot-heel offset (close to the ground at the top of the forefoot, then a huge bump starting at the middle of the forefoot extending to the middle of the arch, then close to the ground and tapering off toward the heel) make this shoe impossible to control. I never have a clue how I am landing, and the result for me is sloppy foot striking, sloppy form and unnecessary stress on the calves. They are usable on trails, however.
From: Steve, Reading, PA
Comments: Okay, these are perfect for me. Very nice ride, i.e. the arch allows me to feather with my forefoot and mid-foot together and only gently bounce my heel. There is no extra 3 square inches of rubber on the heel that I don't use, so I have time to let me calves expand. Very nice feeling cushioning in the forefoot; feels like I could run all day!! Yes, the high arch hurt my feet the first time I ran in them, but after that my feet seem to have adjusted. However, I haven't gone very long in them, so I'll do 14 and then 20 miles in them over the next two weeks. But for now I say, Finally!!! a shoe designed for ex-sprinters!
From: Jeff, Reston, Va, US
Comments: These are hands down my favorite running shoes up to this point. My everyday trainers up until now have been the Brooks Adrenalines, but these shoes just seem to fit better, and for some reason they do make me feel a bit lighter and faster. They are narrow, and seem to run small, so step up a half size from your current running shoe. I'm a mid to fore-foot striker and these shoes seem to be built for that (nice wide landing pad on the forefoot). I could definitely see how they would feel unstable for heel strikers, however, as the heel is very narrow.
From: Brett, Nashville, TN
Comments: Light and fast with that great Brooks fit, but the arch is too high (and I have a high arch). These shoes will punish you if you heel strike, all the cushioning is in the fore and midfoot. I ran Boston in these - the high arch was very painful in the late miles. I wouldn't go over ten or twelve miles again unless they lower the arch.
From: Carl, Oakland, CA
Comments: Have to say this is one of a few shoes that is shaped like my foot. Long big toe. I'm not sure who has feet shaped like the end of a shovel like most shoes, but that's not me. Love this as a daily trainer, although I'd prefer a 7-8 mm drop.
From: Chris, Boston, MA USA
Comments: I guess I'm in the minority on these. I thought they were horrible. My foot is rather narrow so the fit of these were fine, although I did have to get a full size larger than my normal shoe size. I gave these 4 runs of varying length (from 4 to 11 miles) and finally gave up on them. The sole being the same width as my foot combined with the height of the sole made these feel incredibly unstable. Throw in the cushion in the sole and it feels like you are running on unstable marshmallows. I really wanted to like these after having spent a year in Kinvara's, but as far as I'm concerned that shoe is 10x better.
From: Patrick, CA, USA
Comments: I have 90 miles on these bad boys now. I have to say that they totally rock. Used the RW Shoe fitter, I normally wear a 9 1/2 and it told me to order these in a 10 1/2...which I did. They fit like gloves, and are very snug to the foot. Not uncomfortable, just snug. Different. Takes just a smidge of getting used to, but I think I was sold after my very first run in them. Now -- I'm a complete convert. Yes, they are ugly as all get out. But once you get past that - and this may just be my brain playing tricks with me - but I feel lighter and faster wearing these. Also, my legs feel awesome.
From: Dave, Lagrange, NY, USA
Comments: Amazing shoes! Like an awakening, these shoes have re-instilled a sense of joy for running. Straight out of the box I have been able to put 50+ miles on them in a couple of weeks and my legs feel great, this is new for me. They do run a little short though, the next pair will be a half size up from my normal.
From: Hans, New London, CT USA
Comments: I thought my Kinvara 2 were the best running shoes around. Until I tried the Brooks Pure Connect. Light, fast, super-comfortable. Now, I just need new legs to keep up.
From: Stephane, NYC, NY USA
Comments: My feet are not real wide, but these shoes fit fantastic. I prefer to run without socks, and the liner in these shoes is the most comfortable I've found of late in any shoe I've tried. After 3 miles my first time out, I ran 12 in them and was very pleased with how good they felt the whole time. No blisters straight out of the box on a twelve mile run with no socks!! On the flip side, the traction on these isn't very good if you're planning to run trails or on a cross slope they didn't feel the most stable under foot. Last thing, I wear a 9, but needed a 9.5 in these shoes.
From: Charles, Houston, TX USA
Comments: Believe the hype. These shoes are amazing. After several runs in them, (4 mile tempo to a 14 miler) I am convinced these shoes make you run fast. I have been running over 20 years and no shoe has come close to what Brooks has created here.
From: Kevin, Roseville California USA
Comments: For those with a narrow, contoured foot, with a high arch, look no further. Fit like a glove with a well-cushioned, responsive midsole. Did 8 miles this morning straight out of the box with no issues. The Pure Connect remind me of the last great Brooks shoe, the Burn 3, without the large heel-forefoot offset. The Connect has an archpod, on the lateral side of the midsole, like the Burn did. That feature is ideal for supinators and helps with toe-off.

We don't know whether Vice President Biden will run for the top job in 2016, but it sounds like President Obama would be fine with it.
At the inaugural congressional luncheon on Monday, Obama effusively praised his vice president, saying Biden "has not only been an extraordinary partner, but an extraordinary friend."
Obama's announcement came during a weekend of frequent speculation about Biden's plans, sparked in part by the vice president himself.
Biden goofed during the weekend, telling an inaugural party that he was — Freudian slip alert — "proud to be president of the United States." That comment came at an event sponsored by the State Society of Iowa, which of course will host the first delegate contest of the 2016 presidential race.
Biden quickly corrected himself, and, at Monday's luncheon, returned the president's praise.
The vice president reported that, after they had both taken the oath of office, he told the president: "Thank you. Thanks. Thanks for the chance. Thanks for the chance to continue to serve."
In an article headlined "Will Joe Biden run for president in 2016?", Nicole Gaudiano of the Gannett Washington Bureau writes:
"Biden has tried for the top job twice but failed to win his party's nomination in 1988 and 2008. If he runs and wins in 2016, he will be 74 on Inauguration Day, making him the oldest man to be inaugurated president.
"Even so, he hasn't ruled it out.
" 'There's a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn't run,' he told CNN. 'I haven't made that decision. And I don't have to make that decision for a while.' "

Good morning, Jane. How are you?
ok same to you.
Yea all I have to do is log in 3 times a week and post my discussion question respond to two of my classmates and submit my assignments in a timely manner and i am done.
It is 1:27 am just finished my online discussion
Ok did not know this. What time is it where you live?
Interesting job is this whereyou go out and see how many people are living in a particular household?
what kind of job are you seeking to get once you receive your associates, do you plan to work on your Bachelors?
Yea so do I.
I prefer online classes now. I guess it only because I am working on my masters. And the fact that i work at a truck stop, but it is a job. I am so desperately seking a career change, I did some sub-teaching when I lived in Houston, I enjoyed this, so hopefully when I receive my Masters I hope to teach at a Junior college or public school. I received my BS in CJ from the University of Houston In Victoria,in 1993, but at the time I was attending there was no internship program for us to go and intern so it has been hard for me but i look at this way Good things come to those who wait and I will wait.
Do you enjoy online classes?
i leave in tagaytay, philippines it is already 1 pm here..take care
See you missing home, I know the feeling. How long you been in Philly? Are you going to school or working. I am attending Kaplan online working on my masters in CJ.
hi..thanks friend
Yea I live in Baytown, Texas but I am originally from Victoria Tx. about 125 miles from Houston I lived in houstonfor 2 years and did not like it. Guess I'm just a Country girl .

Thanks for your other entry, and I noticed you did another speedpainting here, both are superb!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
love bioshock
i even have Jack's tattoos.
while i excuse this because its a speedpaint, i really wish there was more definition because this is awesome Bioshcok art.
And i love how you improvised and said fuck it he can have a shield. Pretty sure that big daddy will find his way through it though....
haha yeah no doubt about it. Shields are useless against bid daddies. I'll detail it more for sure. It started out as a speedpaint but i want it to be more defined as well.

Bills sign tryout wide receiver Holley
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 20 2014 11:35AM
For some first-year players, they have the total package, everything goes right for them and they get drafted within the seven rounds. For others, they still earn a shot by getting a contract as an undrafted free agent. The rest? Well, sometimes a three-day opportunity at a rookie minicamp can either make or break their upcoming summer of playing football.
The Buffalo Bills invited four players to their rookie minicamp on a tryout basis: quarterback Kenny Guiton, and wide receivers Fred Lee, Ivan McCartney and Caleb Holley. Of the four players, head coach Doug Marrone said one caught his eye and liked what he saw.
"I did. I talked to Doug [Whaley] about that and I'm sure there will be an announcement coming," the coach said.
On Tuesday morning the Bills made that announcement and have signed wide receiver Caleb Holley. A 6-foot-4, 200-pound wideout, Holley fits the mold of the player that this current regime of the Bills have been looking to add to the bottom of their wide receiver group.
With his signing, the Bills now have five wide receivers on the roster that are listed at 6-foot-3 or taller. He joins Ramses Barden (6-foot-6), Chris Summers (6-foot-5), Cordell Roberson (6-foot-4) and Kevin Elliott (6-foot-3) as the tallest at the position according to the team.
A native of Anchorage, Alaska, Holley had 55 receptions for 970 yards and nine touchdowns for East Central (Oklahoma) in 2013. Before his two years at that school, he attended San Francisco City College.
With Holley in the fold, the Bills' roster is at the maximum allotment of 90 players.

|In response to Re: Sump pump drain line siphoning air
A Watts vacuum vent would solve the problem. Your discharge pipe outlet must drop down lower than the pump for that to happen.
: : : My sump pump discharge drain pipe rises up from the pit to the basement ceiling and runs along the ceiling for about 30 ft till it exits to the rear of the house. My problem is that once the pit has pumped clear and the pump shuts off, the evacuating water in the drainpipe is still traversing along the ceiling. While the water is draining from the pipe, there is negative pressure behind the evacuating water in the pipe and air is sucked up through the pump and through the check value. This causes a sucking and bubbling sound for 30 seconds after each pumping cycle. I have been looking for some sort of in-line air vent value to relieve the pressure. Does any one know of such a vent?

The Emery High Lady Spartans defeated the Union Cougars 25-12, 29-27 and 25-10 in Castle Dale and then traveled to Vernal only to lose to the Uintah Utes 19-25, 17-25 and 22-25.
The Emery Spartans are working hard to not only win games but to put together a winning program with a winning attitude. After having struggled for the past several seasons, Emery is playing together better as a team. They appear to be working harder for each other and playing as a unit.
Head coach Kris Bell talks about her team, "We have goals in our locker room that we set before the season began and we are striving to meet those goals. The girls are fantastic and are fun to be around. I see us getting better every day."
Against Uintah, Emery never really got anything going against the talented Utes. Against Union, Emery almost gave the second game away but dominated games one and three.
In game one, Emery was down 0-2 before getting their act together and got out in front 8-4. Emery jumped to a 16-6 lead with some excellent play. Jodi Robertson had a kill shot as did Brook Jensen and Keera Allred had two aces as she served. Emery continued playing well to lead 20-8, 23-10 and winning at 25-12.
In the second game, after leading 2-1, Emery went down 3-5 then tied it at 6-6, then led 9-8 then went down 13-16, as Emery did not keep their heads in the game. In this game, the Spartans played more as individuals rather than as a team. ShiAnne Allred had a couple of kill shots to get Emery back to 15-17 before Union jumped up 16-21. The game looked over at his point. Emery got to 22-23 as Jensen and Robertson each had another kill shot. Emery tied it at 23-23 and 24-24 and 25-25 and 26-26 and 27-27 before scoring the last two points to get the win. Emery played really well at the end of game two to get the win.
In game three, Emery jumped up 10-4 with Allred having a couple of kills and Sierra Bridgewater also having a kill. Frankie Komar served really well and kept the Cougars off balance. Emery got up 14-6, 17-8, 19-9, 22-10 and won 25-10 with Komar serving again.
Emery is working hard and although there will be losses from time to time; the Spartans are an exciting team to watch. With no games this week, the Spartans will play an intra-squad game Tuesday night and then open region play next week with a game at Salem Hills.

Offensive Outfield
Last Friday, I went around the infield and looked at how the Royals offensive production at each position compared to league average. Today, it's time for the outfield (and DH) to get the similar treatment.
Left Field
League Average – .243/.320/.412
Royals – .230/.324/.364, sOPS+ 85
Alex Gordon's numbers look very much like the '09-'10 version of Alex Gordon. That's the version we thought we'd left behind. At least, we had hoped that version had been left behind after the Royals penned him to a contract extension just ahead of the season opener.
If you're into arbitrary end points, Gordon did have a fine stretch of 19 games where he hit .321/.398/.487 from April 25 to May 16. That was when we collectively exhaled. Great. Except in the 11 games since then, he's hit .146/.255/.220.
Although Gordon won't admit it, I wonder if he's been unsettled by Yosty's Revolving Lineup Card. Gordon opened the year as the leadoff hitter (where he had most of his success last year), but when he was slow out of the gate, he was dropped to second, then third, then cleanup and even spent a few games in the sixth spot. In the last three games, he's returned to the leadoff spot and has picked up four hits in 13 plate appearances. There's still time for him to salvage his season, but it's been much more of a grind.
Center Field
League Average – .268/.333/.432
Royals – .236/.312/.322, sOPS+ 70
Aside from the DH spot, the most productive position in the American League so far this year has been center field. And it's where the Royals have struggled to get any production at all. Jerrod Dyson has seen the most appearances in center, with Mitch Maier with the second most. Lorenzo Cain and Jason Bourgeois have also seen time at the position.
Dyson's production has been solid as far as reaching base. With a .252/.328/.331 line, he's proven himself adept at working the count and drawing the base on balls. He still doesn't hit enough to justify the leadoff spot in the lineup, but like I said… He's pretty close to league average when it comes to OBP. That makes him a decent fourth outfielder to have on your roster. Look out, Mitch.
Still, this feels like a lost season for Cain. He was supposed to get most of the reps in center, but the injury bug bit him hard. Cain is in extended spring training rehabbing from a torn hip flexor. He's probably a good three to four weeks away from returning. At which time, the Royals will have a decision to make: Will they hand him back his everyday job in center, or will they write off this season and rotate him with Dyson and/or Maier? Maier is buried so far on Yosty's bench, he could be the odd man out.
Oh… At this point, I'm supposed to ask, "Got Melk?"
Right Field
League Average – .258/.326/.434
Royals – .276/.320/.443, sOPS+ 96
We know from watching the Royals several certainties: Ned Yost will call for myriad sac bunts in situations where they won't help his team. The Royals will give the opposition at least one free out per game. And Jeff Francoeur will hit fifth.
Like most of the Royals, The Frenchman got off to a slow start, but picked up the pace of late. In May, he's hit .327/.371/.582. Most impressive have been his seven walks this month. Currently, he's walking in 6.2 percent of his plate appearances, which is the highest rate of his career. I think it has something to do with the Mayans. Or a Kardashian. And with five home runs this month, he's knocking one out of the yard about every 36 at bats, which is very close to his career mark of 32 AB/HR. And this for a guy who didn't hit his first bomb until May 13 and didn't hit his second until May 21.
Nice road trip.
Designated Hitter
League Average – .259/.333/.450
Royals – .290/.345/.505, sOPS+ 118
The Royals have utilized two designated hitters all year: Billy Butler and… Johnny Giavotella. Ummm, OK.
We all know about Country Breakfast. And long time readers will know about my affection for the man. Dude can rake. And he's the only thing – the only thing – that you can count on in the Royals lineup. He will show up every year, drill line drives to the gaps and put up a line around .300/.370/.470.
Except this year, he's hit a few more home runs.
The party line from the Royals is Butler is finally hitting for more loft. Sounds great, except he's not. His fly ball percentage is 32.2 percent which is the lowest of his career. The lowest. Yet, the ball is flying out of the part and he's become the number one threat to wipe Steve Balboni from the Royals record book. How? Maybe it's because he's stronger. It doesn't look like he's changed his approach as the Royals would like you to believe. He's swinging at pitches at roughly the same rate. It's just that the fly balls have a little more charge in them this year.
It's a nice development.
And as I Tweeted a few weeks ago, if you don't like Billy Butler, I don't have a lot of time for you. Sorry. I think he's a great hitter. And the kind of guy you need on your team.
Country Breakfast is awesome.

Many college football observers wondered what would happen if and when top-ranked Alabama needed to make a play with the game on the line. The Crimson Tide answered that question under the lights Saturday in Baton Rouge with a beautifully timed, blitz-busting screen pass.
So Alabama's 21-17 triumph at then-No. 5 LSU means its unanimous No. 1 position in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll is safe for another week, leaving the battle for the all-important No. 2 slot behind the Tide to rage on.
Oregon strengthened its hold on the second spot in the coaches poll following its 62-point outburst at Southern California. The Ducks received 43 of 59 No. 2 votes, up three from a week ago, and netted a total gain of eight poll points. Kansas State held steady in the No. 3 spot after taking care of business against then-No. 24 Oklahoma State. The Wildcats probably will retain the No. 2 ranking in the BCS standings due out later Sunday.
FROM 'BAMA TO TOLEDO: Complete USA TODAY Sports Coaches poll
Notre Dame remained No. 4 in the poll after surviving in triple overtime against Pittsburgh. The Fighting Irish are still second on one ballot, but they lost all but one of the 11 third-place nods they received a week ago and had a net loss of 18 poll points. That net shift of 26 points toward Oregon, combined with the Ducks' road victory vs. a team with a winning record that could improve their position in the computer ratings, might help Oregon overcome Notre Dame's 0.0011-point advantage in the BCS standings.
LSU slid only four places to No. 9 after nearly stemming the Tide. Another SEC team, East Division leader Georgia, replaced the Tigers at No. 5. Sunshine State rivals Florida State and Florida hold down the next two positions followed by Clemson at No. 8. Unbeaten Louisville remained 10th.
USC slid five places to No. 22 after losing the 62-51 shootout to Oregon. But the weekend wasn't all bad for the Pac-12 as UCLA stormed back into the rankings at No. 19 thanks to its 66-10 demolition of Arizona. Northwestern climbed back in at No.21, and Toledo debuted at No.25.
The Rockets, who host Ball State Tuesday in an Election Night special, will take the field as a ranked team for the first time since the 2001 season.
It was not such a good week in the poll for the Big 12, which saw three of its teams fall out. Along with Oklahoma State, West Virginia was knocked out after its double-OT loss to TCU and Texas Tech tumbled following a home loss to No. 17 Texas.

Comments: Let me give you a little background information real quick so you can get a better idea for these skates. I'm 20 years old, play college hockey for a D3 school, and have never been a person to buy skates, or sticks for that matter, over $200. But, my friends kept yelling at me that my game would improve if I just spent the money on a high end pair of skates...they were not wrong. After a long time looking at different models, I settled on the new Bauer Nexus 1000...and I have not been disappointed. And neither will you. These skates are absolutely amazing. I recommend them highly and I have no negative comments about them. Comfortable, Light, Durable...everything that a pair of $200 skates wishes they could be. If you are like I was, just purchasing $200 skates one after another, please, learn from my story, and buy a pair of high end skates. You will not regret it.
From: Chris, Buffalo, NY
Comments: Blade felt really good until it split right down the center of the blade after 2 weeks. Definitely not a good value for the price.

It's not like Obito had no reason to join Madara. If you look at Anakin's example, then their cases were similar, the only difference is that Anakin joined the dark side, before everything happened, to prevent it (yeah, nice going there), while Obito joined after everything went downhill.

A lot of variables could come into play Friday night.
Aside from it being homecoming at Harrisburg this week, it's also senior night at Taylor Field. Compound that with a key conference ballgame on the line, not to mention a playoff spot, Harrisburg will have a lot of its plate.
The most important however to Harrisburg head coach Jason Roper is none of the above. The seventh year head coach is looking to rebound from what was a stagnate performance offensively last week at Benton.
"We have to move the ball better than we have and better than we did last week," Roper said. "Weather was a factor — for both teams — but give Benton credit, they executed it better than we did. We just turned the ball over and probably the biggest thing I came away with from last week was field position. We had our backs against the wall the whole night. The turnovers we had in the second half, just killed us. Hopefully we can execute better."
Harrisburg has had success against Murphysboro — and a lot of it.
Roper has never lost to the Red Devils, who have dropped 17 straight ballgames to Harrisburg.
Harrisburg had to come from behind to win at Murphysboro last year in a conference opener 28-25 and while the Bulldogs are 2-1 at home this year they are also in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in six season and just the second time in the past eight years.
"I think right now looking at our schedule and what we have left, it's a must win game," Roper said. "I think every game from here on out is a playoff game. It's a game where we need to try to enjoy the homecoming activities, but at the same time, not let that be a distraction and affect our play."
The Red Devils come in averaging nearly 23 points a game on offense and are giving up the same amount on defense.
Harrisburg is scoring a little under 18 points a contest while surrendering just over three touchdowns a game on average.
The Bulldogs will also be sending off 18 seniors, hopefully in style with a win. Roper knows that focus and determination will be vital.
"Murphysboro is very good offensively. They do a lot of misdirection on offense and really they are in a similar situation we are in. They need a win to stay playoff hopeful. So we'll have to be focused and key in on our assignments. More than anything, I hope we have a good crowd here at home."

Schools use "lockdown" to protect students
ABILENE, TX - Families connected to the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings heard "lockdown" used again and again.
Some didn't know what it meant. We found out what it means and how it affects the safety of students.
Schools around the country are reviewing and rethinking their safety plans. We spoke with Dyess Elementary School Principal Michael Newton. He said their school has two different levels of lockdown. The first is the most serious.
"It's a very short call over the PA system which means it is very severe," said Newton. Get all the doors locked. Get the children in a safe part of the classroom."
Newton also said, "The other one is a procedure and its all done by code word where we will lockdown the campus. It's usually where I want to make sure kids stay in one spot for a little bit."
Once the lockdown is cleared and over, there is still one more checkpoint.
"We have a callout System that we can notify parents that we had an incident occur, that your child is safe, and if you need further information that you can contact the school," said Newton.
Following the shooting on Monday, the school focused on keeping things normal for kids.
Dyess Elementary School Counsel Karen Clemmer said, "Normalcy is huge. You know routine is huge for kids and so the teachers and administrators have to be careful with our demeanor."
Newton said parents are informed after the lockdown procedure, to keep them from showing up and interrupting the first responders.

2 things would be nice on your sounds. 1. a description, including length and is it a single or is there different tracks. 2. A discount for buying them and able to check out with one selection to do that.
I sort of agree with him though regarding discounts. SORTA.
My reasoning? Mark the items up 20-30%, then offer a 25% discount. Sound silly? Research indicates the better deal people think they are getting, the more likely they are to take advantage of it. I know that to be fact. Maybe a discount for buying multiple packages or many sound design elements together? Idk.
But unless you're marking them up and then reducing to make it appear to be a deal, I agree that discounts for no reason is silly. They charge what they charge and if its fair buy it, if it isn't don't. That's my motto.
I agree, but the product should already be marked up before you begin selling the product. That is just standard on how the retailing is done. But yeah, a discount to just get one isn't right. Maybe if the sale was at MHC or TW sure, I can see discounting some, or in a volume setting, but not just because he wants one/ Online markets seem to offer discounts vs being in person as well, I've see that used before at Walmart and other retailers around the world.

France 1824 – 1898
The poor fisherman
[Le pauvre pêcheur] 1881
oil on canvas
canvas 155.5 (h) x 192.5 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase from the artist 1887
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
Puvis (who had studied under, among other teachers, Eugène Delacroix)1 was hailed by a younger generation of artists, including Seurat, Gauguin and Denis, as a leader of the Symbolist movement. While Puvis ardently denied any links with Symbolism, many of his works—and this one in particular—are imbued with the mystical qualities so characteristic of that style.
This monumental work shows a widowed fisherman waiting despondently for a catch while his young daughter, left to care for her baby sibling, picks flowers on the shore.2 He intended the painting as a social comment: concerned with the plight of the underprivileged, he stated that 'the true poor people, damn it, are invisible'.3 By employing at the easel the scale and techniques he had learned as a celebrated muralist,4 he attempted to reverse this situation by elevating a scene of abject poverty to the realm of myth and history painting.
There was a polarised response to this painting's appearance at the Salon of 1881: the young Parisian artists were excited by its departure from formalist tradition, but there was fierce criticism from some.5 Auguste Balluffe described the painting as 'a short-hand note of a sketch.'6 Balluffe distrusted the painting's impermanence, its simplified forms and rigid figures, its washed-out, unnatural colours and melancholic subject matter. These were precisely the elements that appealed to the artists of the avant-garde, and the broad expanses of flat colour that Puvis had borrowed from Italian fresco painting were quickly adopted by painters from Gauguin to the Nabis.
Perhaps Camille Mauclair illuminated The poor fisherman most clearly when, in 1928, he described it as:
a fatalistic poem, as simple and touching as a popular song; it is the poem of a man of sorrows, him of the past or him of the present. Never has the power of this resolutely synthetic art idiom better appeared than in this unusual painting; it has pictural charm, surely, but standing before it one forgets the painting altogether.7

"I bought this for my 2 yr old because he loves water. When we got the package and I opened the box and showed him his boots his eyes lite up like it was Christmas. We were on the way home from running errands and he was tired and cranky, but after I showed him the boots he wanted both of them, then fell asleep with them in his hands. I got him a size bigger just because with socks and pants tucked in he'll need it alittle bigger. I can't wait till he wakes up and tries them on. I felt so wonderful giving them to him:)"

For Immediate Release
April 10, 2003
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced grants totaling $20.5 million to allow 120 law enforcement agencies in 36 states to hire 180 additional officers and deputies to protect our nation's schools.
Today's grants are being awarded under the COPS In Schools program, which provides a maximum of $125,000, over a three-year period, to cover the salary and benefits of new school resource officers assigned to protect schools. COPS also provides school safety training for the officer and an administrator from the school where the officer will be assigned.
To support the Administration's priority of advancing homeland security, COPS has enhanced the training associated with these grants by incorporating instruction on terrorism prevention, emergency response, and the critical role of schools in community preparedness and disaster recovery.
"As local law enforcement agencies are confronted with today's new challenges and threats, the Department of Justice is committed to helping meet their needs," said Attorney General John Ashcroft. "Local law enforcement is an essential and valued partner in the war on terrorism, and these grants will ensure that local agencies are able to hire new officers who have received much-needed terrorism prevention and emergency response training."
"The funds announced today will enable law enforcement agencies to provide a heightened level of safety in the schools in which officers are assigned, and will go a long way toward ensuring that schools are fully incorporated into local emergency response plans," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "COPS is pleased to be able to provide some of the first law enforcement funding since the federal budget was passed just seven weeks ago. "
Including today's grants, the COPS In Schools program has provided more than $715 million to nearly 2,600 state and local law enforcement agencies to hire and train over 6,000 school resource officers.

In the Interwebs era, there seem to be as many business models as colors in the rainbow ... yet few have the charitable cachet of "Causium." This is a wildly successful and public-spirited invention by software company Atlassian.
Just the other day Atlassian announced that through their Causium software distribution model they've amassed a grand total of $500,000 in charity donations. In this case the charity is Room to Read, a literacy improvement program that's a personal favorite of the company's founder. This has turned Atlassian into Room to Read's largest Australian donator, and the money will go to educating readers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Cambodia, including establishing "34 libraries, four schools, and two local language books" as well as scholarships in the Girls Education program.
It's an admirable program, and amazing news for two reasons: First, it took just seven months to raise $400,000 of this amount. Second, Atlassian raised the cash in an unusual way, by sort of giving away a high-quality, technically supported software product to tens of thousands of customers. This, explained Atlassian's Director of Product Marketing Daniel Freeman, is the "Causium" business model.
The Causium notion began when Atlassian did a deep dive into its business and realized it wasn't achieving significant sales of its software in the small businesses segment. "We were hurting in market share," Freeman said, and the team realized "we were doing so poorly we could give away a product in this segment and not hurt our bottom line." This is a great PR kick that many companies have tried, but the team wanted to apply some lateral thinking, supported by the companies existing "1/1/1" model (where 1% of employee time goes to volunteer work, 1% equity goes to the Atlassian Foundation and 1% of products are donated to nonprofits). Instead of giving away a product, which tends to result in customers perceiving little value in it, or charging a medium-scale but discounted price, Atlassian decided that a micropayment was a good idea, with 100% of the cash going to charity.
That's not all, though, as Atlassian decided it wasn't going to "be that company" that gives away a freeish product that was "bastardized" with crippled capabilities and no ongoing support. Nope—the software would be the full system, and come with completely "free technical support." After briefly panicking that this effort might "explode" Atlassian's systems, the company launched a five-day trial that sold two products to the small business market for $5 for five seat licenses. They hoped it would raise $25,000, but it ended up reaching $100,000, with some days seeing 20 times the normal purchase event volume going through the company's servers, frenzied tweeting about the experiment, and even some people purchasing the package just to aid the charity.
A success, evidently, one that even motivated some of the company's staff to work extra hours because they felt "it was the right thing to do." Learning from this five-day event, the company added more products to the Causium model, upped the price to $10 for 10 seat licenses and launched it as a permanent system in October of 2009. Strong sales between then and now led to that $500,000 charity figure.
Freeman was careful to note that this event has actually had massive knock-on effects for the company, acting as a huge PR vehicle for the firm, resulting in millions of dollars of upsell business as purchasers of the Causium-priced software bought extra software from Atlassian. It also resulted in improvements to the way the company worked as it had to perfect and streamline its tech support to cope with the un-revenued burden of supporting the "free" products. He said he'd definitely advocate the Causium model for all of these reasons, but it wasn't intended to have these knock-on effects, and originally was a novel way to "do the right thing" that ended up as a big "bunch of right things" instead.
And if your company's heart has a somewhat ethical beat, then maybe Causium is a new sales model to try out. Which then got us thinking: If even some of those millions upon millions of free iPhone apps had a minuscule micropayment attached to them, bumping their perceived value to their customers, what huge piles of money could be raised for charities of all sorts around the world?

"Love this bag, the material is really nice, and the print is great. Kind of shiny and soft. Just the right size for basics; phone, keys, (small) wallet, and maybe a couple of other things. Strap is held together by two little snaps, could be a little more sturdy, but still a great bag for the price."

Rays of darkness descending on Angel Stadium?July 27th, 2012, 11:00 am by JEFF MILLER, OCREGISTER.COM
The Tampa Bay Rays are about enter Angel Stadium. Or, to be more accurate, maybe what they're about to do is invade the Halos' home ballpark.
The Rays are 7-2 in their past nine games here, and perhaps Joe Maddon is inside Mike Scioscia's head. Maddon coached under Scioscia before being hired by Tampa Bay.
The Rays have outscored the Angels, 45-33, during this stretch, which isn't a ridiculous difference when spread over nine games. The big gap, however, can be found in the late innings. From the ninth inning on, the Rays have an edge of 8-1 in runs.
Tampa Bay opened its current nine-game trip by winning 2 of 3 in Baltimore. When these teams last met -- in late April in Florida -- the Rays swept three games from the then-horrible Angels, beating Ervin Santana, C.J. Wilson and the bullpen.
A lot has changed since then, of course.Read the rest of this entry »

Are instant messaging and email messages getting harder to read? They may be, as chat slang is quickly infiltrating its way into virtually all informal electronic communication, from email and instant messages to cell phone text messages (SMS) and even online message boards, and forums.
Why? Because fingers get lazy and have no desire to re-type the same phrases over and over again. It's a lot easier and faster to type "BTW" than "by the way."
An added benefit is that you can fit more in a SMS text message (cell phone text messaging) when you abbreviate.
Chat slang is simply a collection of acronyms for common words or phrases. Here are several common ones:
AFAIK. As Far As I Know.
B4. Before.
BRB. Be Right Back.
BTW. By The Way.
D/L. Download.
U/L. Upload.
FUD. Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt. This one seems to appear the most in "political" discussions, which often involve politicians but may even include controversial, political moves within parts of the the business community.
L8R. Later.
FAQ. Frequently Asked Questions.
LOL. This one can be confused with another, very opposite message. Some years ago, someone sent a grieving friend a sympathy card with "LOL" written on the inside. To her, "LOL" meant "Lots of Love." She was a bit concerned and a little shocked when she was informed that in the Internet era, "LOL" actually means "Laugh Out Loud."
FUBAR. Fouled Up Beyond All Repair or Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. This one seems to pop up a lot, in particular, on message boards or instant messaging channels that involve "techies" helping other "techies" with tech-related problems (software configuration issues, computer hardware questions, etc).
Some say the "F" in "FUBAR" doesn't stand for "fouled" but for something else entirely. The alternative is, quite frankly, offensive, and won't be mentioned here.
FYI. This one is a bit obvious. For Your Information.
IMHO. In My Humble Opinion or In My Honest Opinion.
IM. Instant Message.
JK. Just Kidding.
NP. No Problem.
PLZ. Please.
THX. Thanks.
TTFN. Ta-Ta For Now.
TTYL. Talk to You Later.
And then there are some more colorful acronyms that frequent the tech realm:
LMAO. Laughing My A** (posterior) Off.
OMG. Oh My *** ('gosh').
ROTFLMAO. Rolling on the Floor Laughing my A** (posterior) Off.
RTFM. A savvy computer user was trying to get help from an online message board with some complicated software he was trying to get working. After discussing the matter on the message board, one replied "RTFM!"
Not sure what that meant, he did some online research and was a little shocked when he discovered that it meant "Read the Freaking Manual."
Like FUBAR, many insist the "F" in RTFM stands for something else. Again, the alternative word is pretty offensive.
Most Internet savvy users would probably agree, though, that using most of these acronyms is fine an appropriate within the scope of Internet and other tech communications (assuming the other person also understands the lingo), with the exception of formal writing.
If you are writing a formal email to your boss, for example, refrain from using anything but proper grammar - spell all the words out!
If you don't, your message will certainly lack professionalism. For example, if you were fessing up to accidentally ruining your office computer, you wouldn't want to say "Hey boss, I spilled my soda on my computer and now it's all 'FUBARed'!"
