History 1900-1950: An Old-Timer Remembers
An Old-Timer Remembers Bryant Creek's Cashless Economy
When Tommy Medlock of Gentryville was 95, he told of the days when Bryant Creek was the center of economic life in the area. It was the main transportation route, was busy with farm life and mill towns and it provided fish and small game. He talked about the good times and the hard times of those days.
Surviving The Great Depression
The Bryant was the main north-south travel route through the watershed before everyone had cars. It was the larger creek that all the little tributary creeks fed into, just like a highway today is the main road that all the little roads feed into. Until well into the 1900's, if you wanted to get somewhere in the watershed by the most direct route, you'd walk, ride your horse or drive your wagon and team of horses up or down Bryant Creek.
Actually, you would cross the creek many times on your way because there are bluffs or other features of the land that make it difficult to travel on the same bank of the river all the time. The places where travelers took their wagons across the river were known as "fords." They were usually named after the owner of nearby land, and local people still refer to different parts of the creek by the names of the different fords.
You could also cross the river by boat, if you had one handy. Tommy Medlock remembered that local people took care of that by putting boats out for everyone to use at different spots along the creek. The boats were attached to cables that were attached to trees or posts on either side of the creek. "That way, any side of the creek you came up on, you could pull a boat across to you" if it wasn't already on that side. The cabled boats "were in different places all up and down the creek," he says.
Spring flooding was an especially big travel problem back when the creek was the main thoroughfare. Even today when spring rains come, people in the watershed have to drive around areas with low-water bridges. But back then, you just had to stay home. "When I was a kid, I'd get so tired of rain; the Bryant stayed up so much," Medlock says.
Today, the Bryant Creek area is pretty quiet. But up through the 1930's, it was busy with the sights and sounds of many small farms and big families all up and down the creek. "There's no telling how many people you'd find back then living up that creek."
Just about everyone had crops, a big garden, an orchard and some livestock to provide food for their families year-round. What they didn't eat fresh, they protected or preserved some way. Root cellars were good for keeping things like potatoes, apples, turnips and other produce good through the winter. If you didn't have a root cellar, you could just bury the produce in the ground. The ground will freeze only so far down in winter, so if you bury food below that point, you can be sure it won't freeze. Still other people buried their apples and potatoes in big stacks of hay to keep them from freezing. Canning was also a big thing for preserving vegetables and meats.
Keeping food cool in the summer, on the other hand, was a matter of putting the milk, cheese, meat and other perishables down in the spring house. Fresh water springs are all over the Ozark hills. Families would build little rock buildings around their springs to capture the cool air around them. It was just about as cool as a refrigerator, said Gladys Medlock, Tommy's wife. "I've seen my mother put Jell-O in to set," she says.
When farm families did go to the store to buy some food supplies, they didn't necessarily have to bring money with them, Gladys Medlock says. "People would take their eggs to the store and sell them to the grocer in exchange for groceries." The store would usually be close to a water mill, where farmers would also go to grind the corn and other grains they grew. But, again, they didn't always need money to pay for that service. The mill owner would just accept a percentage of the farmer's meal in exchange for grinding it. Like the grocer with the eggs, the mill owner could eventually sell the meal that the farmers exchanged. In the meantime, the farm family had what it needed without having to go get a paycheck in town.
Tommy Medlock doesn't always have fond memories of the days when everyone lived on the creek and on what food and shelter its environment provided. "There was always plenty of work and wondering where your next meal was going to come from," he says. "People had to make their own living; I don't know how they did it sometimes."
The fact that there was very little game, such as deer and turkey, didn't help. Today, we know that deer and turkey are plentiful enough to have big hunting seasons every year. But when Medlock was a teenager and young man in the 1920s and 30s, they were extremely scarce. The market hunters and regular hunters "had it all about wiped out by the time I got grown," he says.
Hunting deer for hides to ship and sell to Europe was a big business in Missouri in the late 1800s. The Ozarks was a prime place for market hunters to get the deer. By the early 1900s, however, market hunting started declining because deer became fewer and harder to find. That also means it was harder for local people to find any deer to hunt for food, and when they did hunt them they put an even deeper dent in the declining population. The widespread clear-cut logging of the early 1900s in the Ozarks also hurt the deer population, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. In 1937, one researcher estimated that the state of Missouri's entire deer population numbered only 2,000 animals. Wild turkey suffered the same overhunting and habitat loss.
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the government started bringing deer and turkey back to the Ozarks. During the restocking time, it was illegal to hunt the deer or turkey. But by 1944, the government started allowing deer hunting again. It still took a while for the deer population to really grow, though. Medlock says that when he moved in 1942 to his current home near the old Fox Creek community of Bertha "there were still no deer here at all."
Surviving The Great Depression
People hunted squirrels, possum and other small game. They also found plenty of fish in the Bryant Creek to eat. Because of these wild food resources and their own ability to raise a variety of produce and livestock, the people who lived down in the Bryant Creek and other Ozark watersheds didn't feel the Great Depression quite so badly as those who lived in the cities or out in the dustbowl areas of Oklahoma and Kansas.
It did hurt though, when the Great Depression "dried up" all the money in the economy so that the nation no longer had the cash to buy what Ozark farmers had to sell. Local people who had bought Model T's in the 1920s,when farming was profitable,wound up turning them into tractors and wagons, says longtime Douglas County presiding commissioner J.G. Heinlein, because they needed those kinds of vehicles more than they needed to drive around in a fancy car. Because cash was not an everyday necessity in the Ozarks, however, "we survived the Depression probably better than a lot of other parts of the country," Heinlein says. "We were poor but we didn't know it."
In order to get cash, Ozarkers like those who lived in the Bryant Creek Watershed often had to go somewhere else to earn it. Fruit and vegetable harvests on the west coast were one big source of cash. Men from all over the area would load up and head out to California and Washington to pick apricots, peas and other items during the harvest season.
Not everyone had a car or enough gas money to get there, so they traveled together. Tommy Medlock had a truck and would load it up with people from the Bryant Creek area. "I always used to take a truckload of fellers to the fruit harvest," he says. A photograph of Tommy Medlock and his truck, with best friend George Stone, who lived on Bryant Creek down the road from Medlock, shows the young man who spent many years on the road working to support his family back home.
Even though life on the creek was tough, it had its advantages - and delicacies. Like eel. Yes, eel! Tommy Medlock says one of the best treats he's had in his 95 years of life was the chance to eat eel again after they were last seen in Bryant Creek more than 55 years ago. Eel used to travel upstream into the Bryant Creek Watershed area from Arkansas. But when the government built the Norfork Dam in the early 1940s at the confluence of Bryant Creek and North Fork river, the eel could no longer travel past that point. They can't get beyond the dam.
Tommy Medlock and George Stone used to fish for eel all the time; they grew up eating it and loving it. A few years ago, a friend of a friend from Arkansas learned about the two old-timers who longed to eat an eel again. He shipped some eel up to Medlock and Stone, who were overjoyed with the meal.
The Bryant Creek provided plenty of food in the form of fish and other animals, especially when the water was so much deeper and cleaner. To compare the creek's depth today to its depth in Medlock's younger days, consider the fact that "Grown men used to dive into the creek from the bridge on Highway 14. It was that deep," Medlock says.
Fishermen used to take long, narrow boats down the creek to go gigging. Why did they use long, narrow boats instead of the flat-bottom canoes that are more common today? One, the water was deeper, so they could use boats that had keels (not flat-bottomed) and two, the long boats were easy to turn whenever the fishermen ran across a school of fish. "You could turn the boat crossways in a hole of water, and all three people in it had a chance to gig at the fish coming at the boat," Medlock says.
Life on the Bryant Creek was one of both riches and poverty. The creek and its watershed provided food and fun, but not a lot of money. The quality of life in a watershed that is full of clean water, plants and animals, however, is worth a lot to people who consider it home.

Queen Latifah, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi … the New Jersey Hall of Fame has star power that you will find exciting and engaging. But since the inception of the Hall of Fame a few years ago, teachers have found that it provides more than just a celebration of great New Jerseyans. It also provides effective opportunities to teach young people about our State's history, to introduce them to the voting process, to build leadership skills, and to boost pride in themselves and their community. As New Jersey teachers prepare young people to pursue their dreams and strive to accomplish great things, a new curriculum developed with the New Jersey Hall of Fame, provides some creative lesson plans to do just that.
The New Jersey Hall of Fame curriculum offers a unique opportunity for teachers to capitalize on the accomplishments of some remarkable New Jersey citizens and to inspire students to reach for the stars. The fun, yet thoughtful, activities help students to identify with others who not only share their Jersey roots, but share similar experiences and challenges. By learning about New Jersey Hall of Fame inductees, students can better recognize and develop the skills they need to reach their goals while strengthening their pride in their community.
The curriculum is divided into three units. The first unit, "Achievements of New Jersey Citizens: The New Jersey Hall of Fame," helps students identify leadership qualities in Hall of Fame members, as well as in themselves. Students learn more about the role of New Jersey and its citizens in the larger context of United States and world history. Even more, they will develop an understanding between character and achievement. By presenting positive role models, this unit seeks to help young people make informed decisions about their lives.
Unit Two, "Voting for Hall of Fame Nominees," introduces students to the voting process. The unit focuses on the rights and responsibilities of United States citizens. Because students can actually vote in an election, the voting process comes alive for them through an interdisciplinary approach that can be modified for grades six through 12. The lessons challenge students to develop critical thinking skills, communicate ideas, and reflect to understand themselves and their community better. They learn firsthand how they can affect decisions on major issues and they develop practical skills through the collaborative and independent activities.
In Unit Three, "Future New Jersey Hall of Fame Nominees," students take charge in a project that will allow them to enhance academic skills while making an impact on their school and community. Essential questions are raised, such as "What makes a person an effective leader?" or "How can I become a leader?" This unit helps young people understand the leadership qualities in notable New Jersey figures and helps them to look at their own world and its leaders. Most importantly, it seeks to develop leadership skills in your students.
The units are designed to be introduced into the classroom in ways that fit your overall lesson plans. Whether the activities serve to complement your current instructional path or you utilize all three units, you will find a new way to excite, inspire, and motivate your students.
Visit the New Jersey Hall of Fame website www.NJHallofFame.org for more information or download the curriculum. From Thomas Edison to Toni Morrison, you will find many reasons to bring the New Jersey Hall of Fame into your classroom and inspire your students to chase their dreams.

Wynn Resorts cleared another hurdle Monday in its bid for the sole eastern Massachusetts casino license.
Massachusetts Gaming commission staff is recommending that Las Vegas Mogul Steve Wynn be allowed to proceed with his application to build a casino in Everett. But there's one condition: that Wynn explain his business practices in Macau.
Macau is evolving from the seedy cousin of Hong Kong to the glittering Las Vegas of the East. Its gambling revenue is 6 times that of the Vegas strip.
Wynn defended his company in a colorful testimony:
"Do we allow illegal activity in our casinos? The answer is no. No. "
Gaming commissioners won't take a final vote on Wynn's background check until next week. If they give him the green light, the decision could fuel skepticism about the commission's objectivity. Steve Crosby, the chair of the commission's former business partner co-owns the Wynn casino site. Crosby says the public should not doubt him.
"The process is so incredibly transparent, there are 5 commissioners sitting there, there's a report that costs a million and a half dollars that is now public that details all the background information," says Crosby.
The Wynn casino would compete with one from Suffolk Downs if Revere voters approve that project in February.

"These shoes are even prettier on than they are in the picture, and they flatter the leg very well. The color is a soft gold but distinctly gold; I'd say the picture online is accurate. The shoes are a bit uncomfortable due to the heel height, but it's worth it for the look. They also are a little tight on the toes, so I'd say they run slightly narrow."

TriCaster Tips & Tricks - Streaming
What streaming providers can help me?
There are several streaming providers that have been recommended by NewTek customers (not affiliated with or endorsed by NewTek):
- iStreamIT
- Upstream Networks
- Internet Video Channel
- Skitzo
- Audio Video Web
- Limelight
- Vital Stream
- Multicast Media
- Stream Hoster
Error Message: Please enter valid stream ID
You need to enter a name for the stream in the "Stream ID" field on the TriCaster interface. The name can be anything.
Can I make custom streaming profiles for Windows Media?
All TriCaster models and software versions support the ability to stream via Windows Media: we offer a variety of profiles with various settings to cover any circumstance. If you require different settings however it's possible to create and use your own streaming profiles* in TriCaster.
To do this exit TriCaster and go to Administrator mode then to Start > All Programs > Windows Media > Utilities > Windows Media Profile Editor.
What well need to do is load in an existing profile and work off of that, so youll need to click Import... and navigate to this folder:
C:TriCasterUser DataDefault UserStreamProfiles
You will need to grab a profile from the NTSC or PAL folder and from there the 4x3 or 16x9 folder. The profile you grab should correspond to what mode you intend to end up using it in.
Now with the profile loaded in you can customize it completely; bit rate, frame rate, resolution, etc. Visit Microsofts Windows Media Encoder official site for more information on the program.
When you're done customizing the profile you will need to click Export under the General tab. Navigate back to the appropriate folder mentioned before and save your profile here. Whatever profile name you save it as is what it will show up as inside of TriCaster. Now you should be able to launch TriCaster and stream with your own profile. Each profile will double as a push streaming profile and a pull streaming profile if your TriCaster has the ability to do so.
*Custom profiles are not supported and could potentially cause stability issues while running the TriCaster software
How do I stream Flash using Ustream?
- Log into Ustream and setup a show.
- Once you've done that go to My Shows
- In the Show tab select advanced
- Download the "Flash Media Encoder XML File"
- Open the xml file in notepad or text editor
- Look for your stream url (it begins with rtmp:\\ ) and the stream id, found within the tags right below the url. Copy and paste that ID into the TriCaster streaming section.
- If you log into the same Ustream account on another computer and launch the broadcast console, it will show you that TriCaster is connected to Ustream but the broadcast has not started. This allows you to test your settings and connection before the public can see your show.
- To stream, just click Start Broadcast in the broadcast console.
The broadcast console allows you record your show on Ustream for on demand viewing or to loop when your show is not live. We recommend that you use the Broadcast Console (From another computer) instead of removing offair from the streamID pasted into TriCaster.
How do I connect TriCaster to Ustreamor Watershed for Live Streaming?
There is a TriCaster streaming video now posted on the Ustream site. You can view it here.
How do I save and access multiple streaming profiles?
Thanks to Jose Burgos for sharing this tip.
If you have numerous online profiles and streaming accounts, here is an easier way to access them without exiting TriCaster and diving into a text file - use the existing TriCaster tools of Edit Text and Title Templates.
- Make your text files using notepad and save them appropriately. If you have one for Watershed and one for UStream, for example.
- Exit Notepad and launch TC.
- Go into Edit Text and load one of the text files. You can leave the default alignment settings and hit Ok to bring it into Text Edit.
- Now, save this as a Title Template.
- Select new and do the same for any additional text files.
- Go to the TriCaster live production tab and then the txt tab and add your new templates. Double click to activate it in the template edit window.
- Select one of the lines which automatically select the whole line of text. Hold down CTRL+C to copy the text.
- Now, go to the stream tab and click on the field you want the text to go and CTRL+V to paste it.
- Go back to the text tab and select the other line of text and do the same thing and paste it into the other field.
This is a thousand times faster than exiting TC and then launching TC just to copy and paste text.
When I am using TriCaster, how can I record my Flash stream without connecting to a server?
Attempting to record a Flash live stream without anything in the address window causes an error, preventing you from recording.
To write to disk without publishing point, type the following in the location field: rtmp://localhost/live
Type anything into the Stream ID but don't leave it blank or it will give you an error.
Can I make custom streaming profiles in Flash?
Applicable only to TriCaster PRO, TriCaster STUDIO and TriCaster BROADCAST units running TriCaster 2.5 software*
While NewTek, Inc. includes a wide variety of streaming profiles for TriCaster it is possible to create your own and use them inside TriCaster**. You need to have the latest TriCaster 2.5 patch in order to do this. You may download the latest TriCaster updates by logging into the download page on the registration site.
If you have the latest patch installed go to Administrator mode, we will first need to initialize the TriCaster video i/o drivers so they are detected by going to Start > Run. In the Open field type in "newtekrtme" and press OK, a DOS prompt should pop up and run through a few things: leave this open.
Now open up Flash Media Live Encoder*** (FMLE) by going to Start > All Programs > Adobe > Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3. It is normal to get a couple of errors when you launch the program, just click past them. Here all settings can be customized: bit rate, frame rate, resolution, etc. In order for it to properly use the audio and video from the TriCaster make sure the Device under the Video and Audio sections are set to VT Video Device and VT Audio Device respectively. Also set the Input Size to 720x480 (NTSC) or 768x576 (PAL). From here you may customize the other settings as you please.
For more information on the encoding options please visit Adobe's help site here.
After you have finished your profile in FMLE go to File > Save Profile and navigate to here:

You will then need to go to either the NTSC or PAL folder and from there into the 4x3 or 16x9 folder and save your profile in here. Your profile must begin with "Flash" (capital "F", lower-case "lash") and may be followed by a brief name or description (you will see our examples listed here wherein we include the preset specifications). If the file is not named correctly then it will not be recognized correctly as a Flash Media profile and will appear as a Pull and Push profile as a Windows Media Encoder profile.
Once you have finished close FMLE and close the DOS prompt window (NewTekRTME) that we launched earlier. Configure your TriCaster to launch with the aspect ratio setting that corresponds to the profile you just made. You should now be able to select and stream through your custom profile under the Record & Stream tab under Live Production.

Classic Style with a Twist
"This shoe is a classic style. However, the gold toe and heel along with the linen-like upper with a subtle sheen, updates the silhouette and adds an air of elegance, in my opinion. I have good success with Bandolino shoes. I wear a 9W and the fit is very comfortable."

Bethesda's Pete Hines has confirmed that there will be no demo for Fallout 3.
Speaking exclusively to Eurogamer in the shape of Kieron Gillen, Hines said there was "no way" to slice a portion of the world off and have it stand on its own.
"When you build it as one thing, there's no way to portion off a section and have it stand on its own without putting the whole game in the demo, which we're just not going to do," said Hines.
Understanable, I doubt many people will be disappointed with the final product anyway.
How much more evidence do you need to expect this game will be incredible. Bethesda and Hines have the ultimate proof in oblivion, which for the amount of time I played it cost me less than 50 cents an hour. This is one game that I trust to be entertaining, much like GTA4, all one needs to do is look at prior work for the equity this game requires.
not suprising, there was no oblivion demo either its just impossible to do it with games like these
To compensate, they should release some good footage of actual gameplay (no cut-scenes, or very little).
The guys at NMA and Duck and Cover would shred the thing at give it tons of negative press. They're not happy with the way this game is going. Although to be fair the only thing they'd be satisfied with is Fallout 2.5 (2D, sprite based isometric gameplay).

If there's any good place to turn for what's hoppin' & poppin' in good denim dressing right now, we all know it's the street. And by that we mean blog street. Any number of fashion bloggers, from the mid-west to the tropics, have an arsenal of styling tips they're dying to put to good use. Here we take a look at one of our favorite up-and-coming bloggers (and her cute cut-off shorts). Meet Ellie of City Brewed.
Here's what she had to say on her short-short looks:
"I'm a huge fan of denim shorts paired with leggings. With an oversized tee, a great pair of denim, and some of your favorite leggings, you really can't go wrong! In the first photo, I am wearing Abercrombie denim shorts and a Zumiez brand t-shirt for a day of lunch and thrifting. In the second photo I opted for another pair of Abercrombie jean shorts (this time a stretch fit) with an Urban Outfitters tee and Forever 21 wedge heels. Though I'm all about Abercrombie in these pics, I have to confess that my favorite brand for denim is Levi's"
Follow Ellie on her blog, City Brewed, as she writes about her NYC-life and the styles she braves it with. Check out our previous denim blogger showcases, with Jinna of Grease & Glamour, and Lauren of Cotton Wool Clouds.

Holly Hills in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (UPDATE: You can also see her on the Disney Channel as Emma Ross on the show Jessie and Bunk'd.)
You know 13-year-old Peyton List from her role as Holly Hills in Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules. But she and her twin brother, Spencer, have been acting for a while. In this interview she talks about working on the Wimpy Kid movie, embarrassing stories from her childhood, and her baby brother's hilarious nickname for her.
Q: What was the most fun acting job you've had?
Peyton: One of the most fun projects I got to work on was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, because I mean they had so many kids on the set. It was like summer camp. It was so much fun. Every night we would go out to dinner and we would go swimming, and we'd pull pranks on each other.
Q: What was your favorite prank that you pulled on someone?
Peyton: Well the boy that plays Rodrick was staying on our floor. And the girl who plays Patty Farrell was staying over in my hotel room that night so we slipped him a note under his door pretending that we were really big fans and we said, "Dear Devon Hotstick, we love you. We are your number one fan." And then we put lip gloss on and we kissed it and we sent it under his door and he knew it was us. So he sent us a note back and said, "Oh nice try." So we sent him a note back and we said, "Oh we are your number one fans, believe us!" The next day at school together in the tutoring room, he said, "In the future, you should probably not send a note back when I know it was you for sure."
Q: Tell me about your Wimpy Kid character.
Peyton: I play Holly Hills and she's the popular girl at school but she's not your typical popular girl. She's really sweet, down to earth and she's very athletic. I have a lot in common with her. I love to do sports and it was really fun because I got to learn how to roller skate and how to play soccer in the movie. So that was a lot of fun. She would definitely be a friend of mine because she's a really nice character. She accepts everyone.
Q: What sports do you like?
Peyton: I love basketball, and now I love soccer. I love biking. Actually when my mom and I were in Vancouver whenever we had a day off we would go about fourteen miles. It was beautiful there in Vancouver. And one day with the Wimpy Kid Zach we went zip-lining. Basically there's this huge line that goes across from one point to another and they hook you up to it and you zip across. We went to this huge mountain and we went up and we went zip-lining. It was so much fun. I was kind of scared at first. And so was Zach. I was like, "Come on you have to go with me! If I'm going you're going." I was really nervous. I thought, "Has this ever broke before?"
Q: How did you get into acting?
Peyton: When I was about four, my mom took us to see about ten Broadway plays and I just loved them. I couldn't get enough of them. So I told my mom, "This is what I want to be when I grow up."
Q: What was your first job?
Peyton: Sears commercial, yeah. I remember that. That was fun because I got to beat up Spencer, my twin brother. Once I did a cranberry juice commercial and I had to keep drinking it and I remember I was really little. I had on a white shirt and I kept spilling it on myself so they had to keep changing my shirt.
Q: Is there a dream role that you would like to play?
Peyton: I've always wanted to be in an action movie. One of those butt-kicking superheroes or being in a castle and getting to experience a princess and that sort of thing.
Q: Do you have any embarrassing stories from school?
Peyton: I remember I went to get dressed and my skirt was really big so my mom pinned it in the waist and I was walking down the street later. . . I had just gotten out of school and all of a sudden it just falls to my ankles. I remember just looking around and pulling it right back up.
Q: If you could be anything besides an actress, what would you be?
Peyton: I would probably love to be a dancer if I couldn't be an actress. I've taken a lot of dance lessons. I actually take jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop- everything. I also take a lot of ballroom dancing. It's fun.
Q: Do you have any pets?
Peyton: I have a cat and a dog. The cat's name is Luna, and we found her in our garbage can about three years ago. She's really sweet. She has other cats that wait for her in the backyard and they hang out. One fell over in my pool once and she jumped right back out. She has so many cat friends; it's funny. And my dog's name is Windsor and actually we rescued him too. He ran into a restaurant that we were eating at one summer and it was pouring down rain and it was lightning and the dog ran in. The owner tied him up in the front and she said, "I'm taking him to the pound. He's been running around for about a week now and I can't deal with it any more." And we were like, "No! We'll take him. We'll take him." And so now he's a part of our family and he's such a calm and sweet dog. I love him. It's funny because my brother says that the dog belongs to him and I say that the cat belongs to me. But the cat sleeps with my brother and the dog sleeps with me.
Q: So it's just you and two brothers?
Peyton: Yeah I have a twin brother, Spencer, and then I have a little brother who's six. I remember my little brother couldn't pronounce our names. So he called Spencer "Gugu," which I don't get how that sounds anything alike and he called me "Peepee." And I was like, "Why do you call me Peepee?" I got so mad because he always said it in public. I thought it was so embarrassing. And Spencer's like, "Hey I've got Gugu." "Well at least you don't have Peepee!" I thought he was trying to say Peepee and Poopoo – sounds like Gugu. I'm like, "He's doing it on purpose! He's evil!"
Q: What book are you reading now?
Peyton: The Vampire Diaries (for ages 12 and up). I really love that series! I actually just read Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief and I love those books too.
Q: Last question: what would you like your fans to know about you?
Peyton: I'm just a really happy, energetic person and I love chocolate and. . . what else? I love to read. It's one of my favorite things to do. My brothers ask me, "Would you come and play video games?" and I'm like, "No. I just want to read." I really love doing that.
A girl after my own heart!

The Giants and right-hander Tim Lincecum have agreed to terms on a deal that will keep one of the team's most familiar faces in orange and black for at least the next two seasons.
The parties agreed to terms on a two-year deal covering the 2014-15 seasons pending a physical, a team official announced today. The date of the physical is still to be determined.
Terms of the deal were not announced, though multiple outlets reported the deal is for $35 million. Lincecum (pictured), the two-time Cy Young Award winner, is 89-70 with a 3.46 ERA in seven seasons in his career with the Giants and went 10-14 with a 4.37 ERA in 2013.
Lincecum was due to become a free agent for the first time in his career. He went 20-29 over the last two seasons but remained adamant toward the end of this past season that he wants to remain a starter for now and did throw his first career no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in July.
The Giants have now taken care of their top two offseason priorities, per general manager Brian Sabean in his end-of-season news conference. The Giants also inked right fielder Hunter Pence to a five-year deal just before the season ended.

Comments: I have K-Swiss tennis shoes with no arch bend at all -- I can not blame the shoe totally. Our courts
have just been resurfaced and the texture has a medium grit with more then before. This and the shoe stopped my side motion so
much I sprained my ankle. The pros, when playing on TV, just slide across the court. I think they just let the shoe do the job they
are made for, grip and the courts to be smooth. I am a 3.5 -40 level.
From: Jim, 11/14
Comments: Just a side note regarding what "Anon 6/13" said about his Doctor's recommendation -- you do not
want to get shoes that "bend in the middle!" Trust me, I had Plantar Fasciitis problems for a couple of years and all of the Doctors I
talked to, and all of the research I did, said that a "good shoe" should not bend in the middle! When you do the test where you
have one hand at the front of the shoe and your other hand at the back of the shoe and press the two ends together, the shoe
should not bend under pressure! A "good shoe" should duplicate the human foot; our feet do not bend in the middle, they bend at
the balls of the feet where the toes meet the main feet area. You will not get any arch support with a shoe that bends in the
From: Joe, 6/14
Comments: I have sprained my ankle 6 times, both feet, due to some shockingly designed K-swiss tennis shoes.
They are too high off the ground at the heel (4 centimeters) and then the sole bulbs out at the heel a centimeter at each side. This
aspect of it catches edges because the shoes are not aligned with themselves, so you want to slide into something but because of
the protruding bit it digs in and causes your foot to roll, and then added to the height of the clumsy made sole, you roll your ankle
a great distance. I'd recommend to people out there to get shoes closer to the ground as there is less distance to roll your ankle
and cause damage. They can still be angled from the heel to toe to support achilles and have a bit of padding. But avoid massive
soled shoes, they're like high heels, you're likely to roll ankle.
From: Anon, 1/14
Comments: After 1 month of playing, the plastic mesh on the top of the shoe started to break in 2 places. I took
the shoes back to the shop, they sent them to KSwiss to investigate. KSWiss said it was not covered by warranty, only the sole was.
I will not be buying this brand ever again.
From: Alex, 12/13
Comments: I purchased my first pair of K-Swiss shoes in 1977, the Classic. I've tried both Nike and Asics and keep
coming back. I've been wearing the Big Shot now for about 1 year and am very happy with the results. I'm about ready for another
pair. I'm a 3.5 level doubles player who likes to play up.
From: Sherman, 8/13
Comments: Not sure I will ever get to play in these shoes because just walking around and trying to break them in,
I've found them to be extremely uncomfortable. Years ago I developed Plantar Fasciatis from bad shoes, and just walking around
in the Big Shots for several days I have slight plantar pain. They did feel somewhat comfortable initially, so they are deceiving,
until I wore them for a prolonged period of time.
From: Kurt, 7/13
Comments: This is at least, for me, a better shoe than the BigShot 2. The BigShot 2 gave me a meta-atarsal
problem. The BigShot original does not bend in the middle of the shoe which the doctor I saw said was important for being a good
shoe. And they are wide enough as well. Back to the original BigShot! I also worry they may be discontinued as well. I would hate
to move onto another brand.
From: Anon, 6/13
Comments: It has now been two years since my first review of the Big Shot. Just purchased my third pair, love these
shoes. My only worry is that they will be discontinued. Bottom line, best shoes I've ever worn.
From: Kurt, 6/13
Comments: These are the best shoes I've ever worn.
From: Ben, 1/13
Comments: Our whole family loves these shoes! My son, a ranked junior, swears by these. Traction and stability
are amazing. He has never turned an ankle, and averages 8 hours a week on the courts. Durability, however, is a concern. He
goes through a pair every two months, wearing a hole beneath the big toe. That's a trade-off he's willing to make for the comfort,
traction and stability these provide.
From: Robert, 1/13
Comments: I bought this shoes and Lotto shoes in August, but the right shoe of my BigShots are broken now. I
wear the BigShots to play tennis about three hours a week, and I also wear the Lotto in the same situations, but for the lower price
the Lotto's durability is better than the BigShot.
From: K.S., 12/12
Comments: The best shoes I have ever worn, bar none. I was a Nike Vapor wearer until I tried on the Big Shots and
straight away I fell in love with the comfort and ride of these. I play on clay and on grass a minimum of twice a week, and the
durability of these have been fabulous. They are the only shoes I can wear now.
From: Chaddles, 12/12
Comments: I don't like this shoe. I am a high level 5.0 and top player in the Middle States who slides from time to
time, and I put two holes in these shoes the very first day I bought them! Also, they do not support the ankle too well, as I almost
twisted my ankle a couple of times.
From: Jared, 12/12
Comments: Best shoe I've ever worn. I've owned Nikes, Babolats, Adidas, Reeboks, Asics, Filas, and Lottos. By far
the best have been the Big Shots. They're light, but without sacrificing durability. Creative color concepts add to the flair, but you
can also keep it simple with the all-whites. As long as K-Swiss makes these, I'll be buying.
From: Seth, 9/12
Comments: I've had good past experience with K Swiss shoes so I decided to try them again. I took the time to test
play the Big Shots. Initially I found the shoes fairly comfortable out of the box and had no issue with cushioning or durability.
However, after playing some more time in them I determined that these aren't going to work for me. The two issues I have with
them is the tabs in the back of shoes are high and, given your foot sits low in the shoe, the tabs started to dig into my ankle
causing discomfort. While I chose the correct size shoe for my foot, today while running around the court starting and stopping
quickly I found my right foot sliding and slamming my toes into the tip of shoes. In contrast I've had no issue like this with Asics
or Adidas shoes. It is not that I wouldn't recommend these shoes, but they don't work for me.
From: Mike, 9/12
Comments: Best shoe ever, period! Fits my foot perfectly and I don't get blisters. I was a previous Nike owner, will
never look back, as long as KSwiss keeps making them, I'll keep buying them.
From: Nick, 8/12
Comments: My favorite shoe. Great cushioning, fantastic traction on clay. Quite wide, slightly more narrow than K-
Swiss Stabilors but almost perfect for my feet. I've been a long time New Balance user (wide feet) but for quite some time NBs
quality really went down. I liked their 2E and 4E options but the shoes they offered were lousy to say the least. Now I've finally
found a super comfy shoe, with good traction on clay (although not full herringbone tread pattern), with nice ventilation. At last
my search is over. I can simply stick to the Big Shots and play tennis.
From: Peter, 7/12
Comments: These shoes rock!! I've always used K-Swiss tennis shoes (this company & Diadora are the most
comfortable for me). These are the best pair of tennis shoes I've ever had! I understand why 5+ pros use them. Awesome.
From: Robert, 5/12
Comments: These shoes are really nice. They accommodate a wide foot well. I think I will be sticking with these
From: Zev, 4/12
Comments: Simply the best shoe that I have ever wore. Superb comfort, support and
traction especially on clay courts. I'm a big guy (6 foot and 106 kg/234 lbs) and these are the only shoes that I can wear for 3+
hours on court and my feet feel awesome. When I wear my adidas Barricade 7's, I get an ache in the middle of the foot and can't
wait to get them off. Fantastic shoes and highly recommend to players after pure comfort.
From: Anon, 4/12
Comments: I had the K Swiss big shot for over six months an overall I am pleased with the shoe.
It is comfortable and offers good support. The K Swiss sole still wears off much faster than the
Adidas. I alternate the shoe with two other Adidas Barricade V. Despite the lighter use of the K Swiss the sole is already
bold in certain spots and I may relegate the K Swiss to walking only. The Adidas soles are still offering great traction on
the court. I have played with Adidas Barricade V, which I like, However, I could not transition to the
Barricade VI. It was too stiff and narrow. That is why I bought the K Swiss Big Shot. I still preferred the support and the
grip offered by Barricade V. Unfortunately Adidas blew it with the very uncomfortable, stiff Barricade VI. The VII appears
to be the same. The K Swiss is a great shoe, but it is not durable. Therefore if you change shoes every six months or
rotate two or three pairs then it can be a good fit.
From: Jorge, 4/12
Comments: The longer I wear these, the more I fall in love with them. After trying out the new Barricade
7's (which
are much better than 60.'s), I had a new found appreciation of the quality and performance of these shoes. The pure
comfort and
performance of these shoes is unmatched by any other shoe, and the lighter weight is heaven in longer matches.
From: Chaddles, 3/12
Comments: Amazing! Big Shot shoes are the best shoes my feet have ever been in 20 years of active
tennis playing!
All my life I was mostly between Adidas and Nike. I tried Wilson, Head, and Prince before. But Barricades or some Nike
always were better for me. Over the last 5 years, I could not stand Barricades and Nikes. Mostly due to poor support
and balance. I
rolled my ankles several times, my knees and back started to hurt. I thought it was my turning 30. But no it was just
shoes. I read
a bunch of reviews. I was deciding to try either Asics Gels or Big Shot. I made a right choice. First impression was
amazing. The
balance was so superb that I could not believe that shoes matter so much. Big shots are still very light at the same time.
I dropped
my ankle braces as Big Shots keep my ankle so firmly in place! Wow! They are so comfortable that I don't have words to
the feeling! I could say that one con could be how fast they wear out, but relatively to other shoes, they are similar. But
they come
with 6-month guarantee so that helps! Buy them and you won't be sorry.
From: Oleg, 2/12
Comments: Awesome shoe in all regards. Comfortable right out of the box, enough traction without
being grippy to
the point of "ankle planting", these shoes are fast and comfortable. Really, I can't say enough good things about them.
From: Mike, 2/12
Comments: This is a terrible shoe. I have a regular foot, I wore these twice and
had to give them away. My feet hurt like crazy the two times I wore them, so bad I had to call my hitting session early, I
was hardly
able to walk. I even tried stretching the shoe before I put them on.
From: Joseph, 12/11
Comments: I'm a long time Barricade wearer. This shoe is by far the best I've ever worn. I have zero
problems with
traction. The shoes wear really well. To me, the best feature is the comfort they provide and support. After a long
match on hard
courts, my feet don't hurt. I'm on my second pair now. This is a great shoe.
From: Rabbit, 11/11
Comments: I was a little apprehensive about the potential lack of traction after reading the reviews, but
am happy
to report no slippage at all on my hard courts, even dirty ones. The ample toe box was a concern after first trying them
on, but
surprisingly there is neither foot slippage nor blisters. These have a good fit. People with flat arches may need insoles
for some. I
look faster, at least.
From: Dan, 10/11
Comments: Update to previous comments about slipping. From my experience, these shoes are fantastic
newer/resurfaced hard courts. They seem to be made for higher quality courts. I am very thankful for the ability to slide
somewhat. On older, slicker (and generally faster) hard courts, there is going to be slipping with these shoes and I can
see where
someone might have issues. I also had an issue with the a portion of the sole, essentially coming unglued after
extended hard
court play for about 2 months. But, it's no problem at all because of the warranty. I received a new pair quickly. This is
a very
comfortable shoe overall.
From: Will, 10/11
Comments: The shoe feels great and it is very light. The traction is okay
but the shoe is great.
From: Davis, 10/11
Comments: Love the Big Shots for comfort and being a light weight shoe however the traction is poor
and the
quality is just not there. After 6 times playing with them the upper mesh is separating from the side of the sole.To
address the
traction issue I noticed I was slipping a lot with short bursts then I finally slipped bad enough to make me fall, in all the
years I've
been playing I've never slipped so much to cause a fall.
From: RP. 9/11
Comments: No shoes is right for everybody, but if you need a wide toebox, without the shoe feeling
loose, I have to
recommend BigShots. These are simply the best shoes I've ever worn. My feet used to hurt after every match,
regardless of the
shoe- adidas Barricades I, II, III, New Balance, Prince T-22, and it didn't matter. My feet never hurt after playing in
BigShots. If I
hear they're discontinuing these, I'm buying 10 pairs.
From: Gerry, 9/11
Comments: I'm on my 2nd pair of these. They definitely require a break-in for me. I'll get some
discomfort from
my toes bumping the toe guard at first, but it's temporary. They are also slippery-soled when new but I have
Frankenfeet and
movement is not my strong suit. After about 3 sets, they are awesome. They make this old, slow, fatty feel light and
fast. Plenty
of cushioning for my flat, no-arch-what-so-ever feet. I was a little concerned about switching to such a low profile
shoe because
I'm a heel-striker, but the cushioning is outstanding for a 6 foot, 205 pounder. I was coming from the Barricade IIs,
which were
very, very comfy for me, but chunkier. Love these shoes, and with the warranty, the price for a pair is a steal for such a
quality shoe.
From: Kirkk, 9/11
Comments: This is my first KSwiss shoe. I was looking for a stable and durable shoe between 15 and 16
ounces. It's
a very comfortable shoe overall. My feet feel well cushioned, and when I have time to plant my feet I feel more
connected to the
court without feeling like I have bricks on my feet. The downsides though are that it can be a little tight on the pinky
toes. But
that's getting better as the shoe stretches out. The real down side is that these are a little slick. I don't slid on hard
courts or plan
to. The ankle support isn't very good. I've taken care of that by wearing lace-up ankle wraps. The front end of the shoe
is tapered
narrow and stiff. This helps take weight off the shoe, but also makes you more prone to twisting your ankle when
landing on your
split step. Again the ankle wraps have helped with that. Overall the shoe is great for cushioning, getting better for
comfort. But
the ankle support and traction aren't great. The Tennis Warehouse review definitely got it right on this one.
From: Anon, 9/11
Comments: I love this shoe. It is super fast and comfy. But in my opinion the soles are not too good.
They peel off
easily long before the 6 month warranty. However, since there is a warranty so that is cool at least.
From: Mckenzie, 8/11
Comments: I have had to replace the Bigshot three times due to the rear outer sole becoming separated
from the
mid sole. It was peeling off like the adhesive or something just wasn't holding. The last shoe only lasted for 5 sets.
From: Larry. 8/11
Comments: This is the best tennis shoe for men on the market! The Kiss Swiss Big Shot is light,
comfortable, fast,
and stable with no break in required. I would recommend getting them 1/2 size bigger. These are awesome! I plan to
get 3 more
From: Andre, 8/11
Comments: I'm another guy who was left looking for something new after the Barricade V went away.
Since the VI
was almost universally detested, I tried several other brands and models. This is the best performing shoe i've ever
owned. It
somehow manages to be light yet stable and cushioned yet firm and responsive...and very comfortable. It's not a
narrow shoe so if
you have a very narrow foot it may not be for you. I've never had any unintentional slides with this. The price tag is
high but it may just be that much better than the competitors.
From: Rob. 08/11
Comments: These are great shoes with a nice width, a light weight feel, good durability and look good. I
only wore Nike shoes, but they stopped making the wide version of my shoe so I had no choice but to try something
else out. I'm
really glad that I did, I will be wearing the Big Shots for a long time.
From: Anthony, 7/11
Comments: I really like this shoe. It felt great right out of the box. As others have mentioned, it is very
and has good ventilation. I really appreciate the fact that these shoes do not completely grip the (hard) court. You can
somewhat. That's what I'm looking for. I don't like shoes that grab the court too much (turned ankles, knee issues,
etc.). I
frequently have to break in shoes for hard courts until they have less grip. These shoes were perfect from the get go.
From: Will, 7/11
Comments: I have 2 complaints about this shoe. The durability and the traction. This shoe has too
much slippage
especially on short bursts of speed on hard court. With this shoe, I can slide on the hard court which I like. The
durability of this
shoe is not good. This shoe only lasted me 2 weeks at most. Even with those two gripes, I still prefer these shoes over
Barricade. They are a very light shoe.
From: John. 7/11
Comments: These are simply the best shoes that I have ever put on! I've always been a Nike Vapor user
which have
been great shoes on the en tout cas/clay. Adidas have been good but are too narrow for me, and I have always loved
the comfort
and traction from the Defiers but just looked like old guys shoes & were heavy. As soon as I put the Big Shots on, the
first thing I
noticed was how comfortable they were for such a light weight shoe. I mainly play clay and artificial clay/grass and the
traction of
these is fantastic, and durability has been excellent too. Highly recommended.
From: William. 7/11
Comments: These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I loved these. They have good
ventilation and
comfort. My only problem is the durability. These shoes did not last very long at all for me.
From: Michael. 07/11
Comments: Like so many, looking for replacement for Barricade Vs. K-Swiss Big Shots fit about the same
as far as
arch and toebox width. Very comfortable in the store. Got on the court and soles slipped all over the place. Completely
unplayable because of court slippage. Soles have no grip on the court. Old Barricade V' with holes in the bottom have
traction than new Big Shots. Thank you, Tennis Warehouse, for taking these back for store credit.
From: Anon. 7/11
Comments: These shoes are good for comfort and fit, but traction is bad. I agree with a previous
comment. I hope
the new Lottos are as good as the Rapture series. I can't believe no one has commented on the lack of traction these
shoes have
out of the box. I was on Barricade VIs before this and they had so much better traction. Other than that I don't have any
about the shoe.
From: Neal. 6/11
Comments: I just bought a pair of these and ended up giving them away. I thought their performance on
the court
was very poor. The first time I played in them, they slid twice costing me the points. My foot also kept sliding inside the
causing blisters. If you have a very wide foot, a VERY wide foot, you may like them. Not the shoe for me.
From: Brett. 6/11
Comments: Has anyone else had an issue with the shoelace eyelet slightly tearing? I had mine for 2
weeks when it
happened. If they fix that issue, then these are the best shoes ever in my opinion. Cannot beat a light shoe with a
warranty like
this one has.
From: Marc. 6/11
Comments: I have used this shoe for about 4 months now and am pleased with the performance and fit.
I have very
wide feet and have tried Barricade V, NB 1004, Prince T22s. Can't seem to find the perfect shoe, but these are the best
I've found
so far. Similar to the T22 for stability and support, but more cushioning, ventilation and lighter feeling. It took a
couple of hitting
sessions to break in to my wide forefoot, but are very comfortable now. The do seem to wear quickly- this pair is ready
replacement. Based on my impression of the shoe, I bought a pair for my son, who is a very aggressive high school
player. He has
had similar comments, except he has worn his first pair out in about 2 months. Luckily they have a replacement policy.
I will buy
another pair while these are replaced.
From: Gary. 5/11
Senior 4.0 mostly doubles player
Comments: Bought these a few months ago and I wear them every day, work at a country
club, play a good amount of tennis, and they are still holding up great. It took me about 2 hours of playing to break
them in fully,
which is not long at all. Very lightweight and I'm young (21) and do rely on my speed and I have noticed a difference
since owning
these shoes. Very lightweight and very supportive. Great shoe, little pricey though.
From: Andrew. 5/11
Comments: I tried a pair of Babolat Propulse 3. I played once and returned them due to pinching on the
sides of
shoe. Then I tried a Head Insane and found Heel slippage and they were a bit to roomy and bulky for me. I then
purchased the
Bigshot. I liked the feeling right out of box. I played for 2 hours with them they felt light with good grip and was super
comfy and
cool looking.I'm a first time owner K Swiss shoes and they're great.
From: Bernard, Toronto, Canada. 5/11
Comments: After about 15 hours of court time in this shoe, I give it a 9 out of 10 rating. My only
complaints are the
flat unsupportive insole (which I replaced with a good quality aftermarket insole) and the black 'DuraWrap' feature that
goes across
the outer area of the shoes over your toes - it's delaminating from the shoe on both shoes. I don't think it's affecting
but it's a little disappointing considering these shoes are amongst the most expensive shoes on the market. K-Swiss is
not hyping
these shoes at all. They ARE fast, light, stable. I have narrow-medium volume feet, and these shoes fit perfect with a
normal sock.
I doubt these shoes would be a good fit for those with fat feet. Probably not enough volume in the front part of the
shoe to
accommodate fat feet. I saw a comment below about lack of traction. I didn't notice that at all. Traction is just right.
(Maybe you
were playing on a dirty court.)
From: Anon, St. Pete, FL, USA, 03/11
Comments: I've worn barricades and other various adidas shoes as well as occasionally some other
throughout my career; however, the BigShot is absolutely the best shoe I've ever had. It is the comfiest, most solid shoe
that I've
ever put on my foot. I have had them for a few weeks, and so far the wear on them has been good, but this is my first
time getting
them and I am not sure how durable they are yet. If you like the barricade but feel like they are just too heavy and you
don't want
something clunky, this is the shoe that will solve your problems. You should definitely consider this shoe as your next,
it really is
amazing, plus it looks pretty damn awesome, which will get you the ladies.
You're welcome.
From: Alex, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 03/11
Comments: I was wearing Prince T-9's, probably for about the lat four years. My son got his pair of
BigShots when
he went back to school. I tried them out, and he is not getting them back. I'm an old guy with bad knees and I was
worried about
the cushioning, but have worn them for a month and they are great. A bit more snug that the T-9, which I like. I can't
say anything
bad about these shoes. We will see how long they last, but I'm optimistic, as they show no signs of wear. I play
everyday, and my
last T-9's were gone after four months. The BigShot's are now my shoe of choice.
From: Kurt, San Fernando Valley, CA, USA, 03/11
Comments: These are the most comfortable out of the box shoes I've worn. Being a former Nike, Adidas
customer I
was weary of trying anything else, as I believe shoes are very important in tennis. But I'm completely impressed with the
and weight management on these shoes. Love it!!
From: Agg, San Jose, CA, USA, 03/11
Comments: I can't believe no one has commented on the lack of traction these shoes have out of the
box. I was on
Barricade VIs before this and they had so much better traction. Other than that I don't have any gripes about the shoe.
From: Patrick, Federal Way, WA, USA, 02/11
Comments: Former teaching pro and currently a 4.5 player (getting old). I have been a loyal Nike shoe
guy since the
late 70s. My last pair was the Court Ballistic 2.3, which felt like I was playing on wooden blocks. I bought this pair of
shoes last
week and immediately fell in love with them. Lightweight and fast feeling. I couldn't be more pleased. Thinking about
buying a
second pair to put in the closet for fear of them discontinuing before I need a new pair.
From: Greg, Newport Beach, CA, USA, 01/11
Comments: This shoe is great; I play junior tennis, not silly tennis, serious junior tennis and love these
shoes. They
are great to move in and are so light; it's like walking on air.
From: Ian, 01/11
Comments: I have just bought a pair of these Bigshots. I have yet played it on the court but I have tried it
on and
moved around. The first thing that came into my mind is comfort. It is absolutely very comfortable. It might be the fact
that I have
never worn these kinds of hi-tech tennis shoes before and this is my first pair. It's light and I also find the fit quite
perfect to me.
The traction isn't that bad so far, but I will have to test it later for confirmation. Overall, I am finding this pair of shoes
From: Henry, 12/10
Comments: I have worn K-Swiss Ultrascendors, Defier RS (my favorite that is now apparently
Glaciators, and just got the new Defier DS shoes. I tried the Big Shot shoes on but the toe box is way too narrow! It's
not a
normal K-Swiss 7.0 fit!
From: Darryl, Tampa, FL, USA, 11/10
Comments: This is a great tennis shoe. I play tennis at least 4 times a
week. So far it has had good grip, ankle support, and balance. The only
problem I had was that since I have a narrow foot I have to wear two
pairs of socks for the shoe to have the right fit. Great shoe.
From: William, Covington, LA, USA, 11/10
Comments: I switched from the K-Swiss Sole line and true this shoe offers more sleek fit and feel and is
a faster
shoe. I play tennis 2X a week and besides doing some gym work no other wear activity occurs outside of tennis.
However, I got
my shoes less than a month ago and the duragrip sole has worn down smooth on sides. I can't imagine them lasting
more than
another month so wear is not great. Further after playing 4 hours of doubles play my pinky toes were killing me, which
happened before. I think the mesh front tends to stretch thus allowing your foot to move more after wear in occurs.
As a result
you front part of foot isn't as stable. Overall I like the design but if they don't last more than 2 months I cant
recommend them.
From: Lenny, Short Hills, NJ, USA, 10/10
Comments: This shoe is an excellent performance tennis shoe. I had previously eschewed K Swiss shoes
in the past
due to their heavy, clunky feel. The BigShot is a new design for K Swiss that is lighter with ample support and
cushioning. To me
it is a flagship shoe in the K Swiss line that shifted from an SUV type shoe to a sleek performance shoe that matches up
well with
Nike, Adidas, and Babolat tennis shoes.
Bravo, K Swiss!
From: Robert, Denver, CO, USA, 09/10
Comments: I've been wearing the men's Stabilor (I'm a woman) for a while, because I have problems with
neuroma (pinched nerve) in my foot. Although this was listed as having a similar fit, unfortunately it is a bit narrower
across the
balls of the toes, so I'm moving back to the Stabilor which I love. Otherwise seems like a good shoe.
From: Louise, Washington, USA. 09/10

USA TODAY Sports gets you ready for March Madness
AT THE WATER COOLER: And then there was one.
No. 1 Syracuse's upset loss to Boston College makes Wichita State the lone undefeated team in the country — spotlighting a mid-major team in a way we haven't seen since St. Joseph's in 2004. Actually, in a way we've never seen.
Following WSU's easy road victory against Loyola (Ill.) on Wednesday, the Shockers (28-0, 15-0) have just three Missouri Valley Conference games left – two on their home court and one against a team with a losing record. Then they'll have a three-game path to the MVC Tournament Championship.
BRACKETOLOGY: Projecting the field of 68
"It just goes to show you that you can lose to anybody any night in college basketball, home, away," Marshall told reporters Wednesday night after hearing of Syracuse's loss. "The other team has a coach. Assuming he has a decent salary ... and they've got 13 scholarship players, and when that ball is tossed up, they want to win."
Of course, now that the Orange have lost, all eyes turn to this Wichita State squad that hasn't lost since April of last season. And the way these Shockers are playing, with the mindset coach Gregg Marshall has them in, don't expect them to lose again until April.
The shock factor is in the past.
While a good chunk of college basketball fans might be rooting for Wichita State to lose, it's time we stop debating the team's worthiness as a No. 1 seed. We can determine that if and when the Shockers lose. Based on statistics, the final undefeated teams don't exactly fare that well heading into the postseason. A data chart by CBS Sports shows that being the last unbeaten team in college basketball has rarely ended in a national championship finish. But who was picking Gregg Marshall's group to win it all, anyway?
Stats might tell one story, but Wichita is far from a Gonzaga-like mid-major. The Shockers play with grit and tenacity — that signature toughness factor Marshall fosters — and their dominance against Valley opponents only paints one part of the picture. WSU has the skillset to go to the Final Four for the following reasons.
— The Sports Illustrated cover boys (the issue this week had Wichita players with the headline, "Try to Jinx Us") aren't getting caught up in the hype. They're following a one-game-at-a-time approach and continuing to play with a chip on their shoulder. These aren't blue-chip recruts, they're players with something to prove and Marshall has done a phenomenal job making sure they don't lose that edge.
— This team plays defense better than just about anybody in the country. Forget statistics. Numbers will tell you the Shockers rank in the top 30 nationally in scoring defense, scoring margin and scoring percentage defense. Watch them play and see how suffocating their approach is. Guard Fred Van Fleet and Ron Baker are offensive catalysts, yet their ball-hawking isn't noticed nearly enough.
— If there's a 50/50 ball, the Shockers are winning them. Cleanthony Early is a springy forward who controls the glass and is one of several Wichita players who help give the Shockers extra possessions with hustle plays. Offensively, this team is very disciplined. And it's easier to stay that way when the ball is in your hands more often.
Most naysayers will say it's better to lose before entering the NCAA tournament. But it's important to ask this question: Why has a team been winning? In Syracuse's case, it's fairly obvious now that good fortune had something to do with it. In Wichita State's case, their non-conference and conference opponents – deemed inferior by many – will be the reason. Let's not fool ourselves though. Marshall's play-angry approach has the potential to work against any team. Just ask Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Florida's Billy Donovan or Arizona's Sean Miller. You think they want to face Wichita? Not a chance.
REWIND: No. 2 Florida avoided an upset in a 71-66 win against Auburn. No. 4 Arizona also avoided a setback, beating Utah 67-63 in overtime on the road. And No. 10 Saint Louis also had to fight for a win, escaping George Mason with an 89-85 decision in overtime. No. 23 Ohio State beat Northwestern in a game with a late scuffle the saw two players ejected.
BEST BET TONIGHT: OK, let's try this again. There's no snow in the forecast in the Triangle this time, so No.6 Duke at North Carolina (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) should actually happen a week late.
Since last week's postponement, the Tar Heels have extended their winning streak to seven. Perhaps the best news for UNC from their most recent triumph at Florida State was that it managed to rally from a double-digit deficit without getting a single point from James Michael McAdoo. However, that isn't likely to work against the Blue Devils. Duke is also riding a hot streak, 9-1 in its last 10 outings with the only loss in that stretch being the overtime thriller at Syracuse. Ah yes, and that rematch with the Orange is coming up Saturday. Duke was all business Tuesday at Georgia Tech, and Rodney Hood's recent long-range accuracy is providing a solid complement to Jabari Parker's offensive game.
ALSO ON DECK: A look at the rest of the marquee matchups to watch/monitor tonight. All times Eastern.
— No. 6 Duke at North Carolina (9 p.m., ESPN)
— No. 14 Michigan State at Purdue (7 p.m., ESPN)
— No. 21 Connecticut at Temple (9 p.m., ESPN2)
— No. 24 Memphis at Rutgers (7 p.m., CBS Sports Network)
— No. 22 Gonzaga at Brigham Young (11 p.m.)
NUMBER OF THE DAY: 24.1. Brigham Young is, by most projections, on the wrong side of the bubble. So the Cougars will do their best to take advantage of tonight's home opportunity against No.22 Gonzaga (11 p.m. ET, ESPN2). No matter where BYU lands in the selection process, scoring machine Tyler Haws will be worth watching. He leads the West Coast Conference and ranks fourth in the country with his 24.1-point average.
WORDS OF THE DAY: "My shot felt better than it looked." — Michigan State PG Keith Appling of his first attempt of Sunday's Spartans' loss to Nebraska that failed to draw iron. Appling returned after a three-game absence with a wrist injury, but he was limited to 19 minutes and couldn't prevent MSU's fourth loss in their last seven games. The Spartans will try to get back on course tonight at Purdue (7 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Skip to comments.Winning the west ... Obama plots route to victory in Republican heartland
Posted on 08/19/2008 5:05:48 PM PDT by Hadean
When Montana's governor, Brian Schweitzer, launched his campaign for re-election this summer he chose to be pictured on a horse lassooing a calf, and in silhouette against a barn door, presumably after a long hard day on the ranch.
What was not mentioned was the word Democrat - a party affiliation that in some parts of the west still conjures up associations with gay marriage, gun control and abortion.
Those sensibilities could be in for a shake-up as Barack Obama launches the Democrats' most aggressive drive for years for votes from the Rocky Mountain west.
The strategy unrolling now across the west could turn once reliably Republican states such as Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and possibly even Montana into America's new electoral battleground. But it is Colorado which is viewed as the biggest prize.
"Colorado defines competitive," said Dick Wadhams, the chairman of the state Republican party. "I think either party could carry Colorado."
It all hinges on how you define Democrat - a political label that has been comprehensively altered by a new generation of elected politicians in the west - and an impressive grassroots organisation now being assembled by the Obama campaign.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
IMO, it's called exposure, exposure, exposure. Osama Obama's record on voting to allow the killing of babies that survived abortions won't bode well with millions of Americans. That's only one small piece of his disgusting background.
Heartland America - yea right.
Barry wants Steve and Adam to be married after he takes away your guns for nonpayment of his tax hikes.
Yea, this will go over like a lead ballon.
Forgot there is the abortion until the baby is a week old thing also.
The messiah won't win one of those states mentioned. He should really be concentrated on Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, he's on the fast track to losing all four.
Bwahahahahahaha! Good luck with that, Barack Hussein Obama.
It all hinges on how you define Democrat
Ah, the old "meaning of is".
Fat Chance.
Obama will be pissing on thier boots and trying to tell them it raining.
This lib blogs on mybarackobama.com and tomgrossmedia.com. She has to create an alternate reality for her liberal readers in order to make a living. I almost pity her.
LOL, Obama will be lucky to keep MN blue.
LOL, is he auditioning for a Brokeback Mountain sequel? His lame attempt to look patriotic ends in faggotry and epic fail.
Barackback Mt yes.
She does resemble a younger Helen Thomas, doesn't she?
Beauty may be only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
The Guardian apparently has a problem with this??
Water just came out my nose!
ouch, that's going to leave a mark.
If the hate-filled freak show doesn't do it, the enormous and presumptuous inconveniences imposed upon Coloradans for the convenience of the dems will. Closing their main freeway and arteries from 5 pm til 11:30 for Obama's security at Invesco is going to cause businesses to shut down early, people to skip work altogether, huge traffic snarls etc etc. People trying to get home, get their kids out of daycare, or go cross town to their second job are not going to be thinking kindly of the party that caused it all. It's going to be a circus and a disaster.
Now add in the mess, the expense, the grandstanding and preening and hypocrisy, all witnessed up close and personal by the tens of thousands of seething service workers, their presumed base--hotel maids, bartenders, wait staff, cab drivers, etc.--stiffed for a week on tips, ordered around and demeaned by the party of the "little people". Nope, I don't see Colorodo going blue.
The weather was decent, and were already making tentative plans for a return trip in June/July 2009. This time bypassing Denver and concentrating on Colorado Springs-Pueblo-sand dunes-northern NM (North east or north central, maybe both....Part of the reason were skipping Denver in 2009 is, it is extremely irritating to go up to a cash register again and again and again, intending to spend $150+ dollars on "stuff, and be confronted not only with Obama stickers, but literature and stickers suggesting Republicans and conservatives are stupid/evil/racist. I knew Denver is considered a liberal city, but I never imagined it would be so entirely lopsided. We saw NOT ONE McCain or Republican sticker, unless you count the one oh-so-clever Republicans For Voldemart sticker. I wonder if McCain/Republican voters are too intimidated to display their support, lest the Openminded and Tolerant Ones bash out their windshields (or the cars drivers)? One would think sheer economic logic (Dont risk antagonizing customers with blatant political beliefs) would keep the politicizing down, but no. So they will get not one thin dime from us in 2009, unless we fly and we HAVE to go through Denvers Airport.
In general,
to defeat the left,
expose the left.
The only way they get into power is by obfuscating their beliefs. Bambi tried to hide his at Saddleback, but it was clear what they were.
Just thinking the same thing...

Are you ready to get down and dirty? As we mentioned previously from our Class Tradeshow Report back in February, we developed major crushes on some new denim brands, including Prospective Flow, a Japanese denim brand which features vintage washes. When we spoke to spokesman Herbert Johnson, who is part of the team that makes up Prospective Flow, he told us about their "Hundred Year Wash," and other vintage washes in which they incorporate real motor grease or color-match soil samples to get that heirloom denim look. Scroll down to view the new spring-summer 2012 lookbook via the photo gallery!

We at Denim Therapy understands what it means to wear a pair of raw denim for several months straight, but you can get the look of well-worn denim here without the chafing and smell. For Spring-Summer 2012, also look for their rusty-colored jeans, which look somewhat like it was bathed in a terracotta sandstorm. You can find Prospective Flow at Church Boutique.
