In both Los Angeles and New York, Mike D'Antoni's offense hasn't produced what it did in Phoenix. The former Suns head coach enters his first full season with the Lakers with a rebuilt coaching crew. Only brother Dan D'Antoni returns after a hybrid staff made of Mike Brown's selections left after last season.
So it's finally time for D'Antoni to show his stuff.
Another coaching addition, development coach Larry Lewis, took some time to discuss D'Antoni's offensive system with Lakers.com reporter Mike Trudell, and he got mighty specific about learning it. Ironically after the Suns recently bought the domain Beat.La to promote the rivalry, it's the Lakers using old footage of Phoenix to learn D'Antoni's system.
MT: How does that process go from you talking to D'Antoni and his staff, and implementing things for the players to work on?
Lewis: You have to study, previously, what's going on in that system and how certain players get theirs in that system. Mike's been running this system for a while now, and you can go back and look at how players got their shots, for example, in Phoenix or New York, or in certain actions last season in L.A.
MT: So you can pull up Joe Johnson or Raja Bell film from the Suns to see where they got their three-point looks, and use that to inform Nick Young or Wesley Johnson?
Lewis: Exactly. That type of preparation has to happen first so that when we get on the court with a player, we have a clear understanding of the system and the language of that system.
How has Mike D'Antoni's offense failed? His Suns made the most of that very offense, and no matter if it was the original Seven Seconds or Less squad or the later versions with Boris Diaw and Kurt Thomas, Steve Nash was leading it. Maybe that's the simple, obvious reason to explain why D'Antoni's offenses in New York and Los Angeles have struggled.
Or maybe that small ball lent itself better for SSOL to establish itself quickly.
SSOL is not exactly the right term either. In Phoenix, we've dubbed it so because of the speed, but the speed only helped out the true philosophies of D'Antoni's offense, which are more about spacing and spreading — the speed helped those two things happen against a scrambling defense.
In New York, the Knicks didn't find much success until Mike Woodson took over for D'Antoni in the midseason. Last year, that small ball spread offense with some D'Antoni philosophies and a better roster flourished for at least the regular season. The experiment in Los Angeles isn't a year old yet, which is why the Lakers could be in alright shape without Dwight Howard (though being without Kobe Bryant, who is recovering from an Achilles tear, is a whole other worry considering the lack of talent outside Nash and Pau Gasol).
Speaking with Trudell, Lewis simplified the basic teachings of the D'Antoni offense.
MT: How do you understand D'Antoni's system in the simplest of terms?
Lewis: Spots. There are spots on the court that guys have to get to, especially in the beginning of each possession. And then, players sometimes have a habit of creeping out of spots – there's a time to do that, and a time not to. There are rules in this system, and I'd like to commend Mike on it, because once people start to copy what you're doing and have success at it, I think it speaks volumes about your approach to the sport and where basketball has evolved to today. Here's another thing: it's a system where each player is sort of demanded to know everyone's spot. That's the interesting thing about it. It flows, evolves and lives.
MT: Once that baseline is established, what can you specifically help guys with?
Lewis: To trim down. You can talk about crossover dribbles and all of that, but you'd better have a pretty good reason if you're going to do that. In this system, there isn't a lot of room for four or five dribbles to get to a move. If you don't have the shot or a quick path to the lane, you'd better find someone that does. What I learned from playing overseas, where there is no illegal defense, is that you have to make your move and get your shot off immediately. Trim down. You're trimming down the time that the help defense can get to you, and the time it takes to get to your shot. We work a lot on how to get to a shot, and to give the close out defense less time to get to you or to adjust to what you're doing. Mike D'Antoni played in Italy for years, and understands this better than most. You just don't have the leeway to play with the ball, because you may have a seven-footer just staying in the paint all night long without the illegal defense.
You can train a guy to play 1-on-1 in player development, of course, but in this system, I don't know how conducive that would be. You really want the players to buy into the system at hand here.
The point regarding the lack of room for dribble-drives is important for anyone not named Steve Nash. That's why a player with limited skill, like Raja Bell, succeeded as an offensive player. He could shoot, and he could play the system; that's all that was important.
And that's why the fit could make sense for another former Suns player, Wesley Johnson. It was no secret the former No. 4 overall pick struggled to put the ball on the deck and rarely did much more than use his length to get shots off over defenders.
If the Lakers surprise next season, it wouldn't be completely shocking, and health is probably their biggest concern.
But how painful would it be in Phoenix for the Lakers to find success with those players, in that offense?
And 1
If you stay away from pop culture news, disregard. On Monday, rapper Big Sean released a track called "Control," which featured Kendrick Lamar. The internet reacted kindly to a very aggressive, call-out by Lamar of pretty much every other iconic MC. Knicks guard Iman Shumpert apparently released a response here, and at the 20-second mark included a Kevin Johnson reference. Great.
"Kevin Johnson smash smash trick, ooh he so vintage."

True dyslexics may be different. The references may have been based on those within the "normal" range.
Personally I HATE reading body text in sans-serif fonts. It take SO much longer to read. I gave up on a Ben Elton novel. Maybe it was rubbish too, but damned hard to read.
One liners, quick notes, poster, headlines, whatever; use whatever looks funky, but not too many in one document please!

I'd heard that serifs were about stone-carving - by placing the serif at the end of the line, it ensured that when you then took the main chip out, it stopped in a neat line exactly where you wanted it, rather than a jagged splintered edge. If that is the case, they have no requirement in typed text at all!Quote:

There's endless stuff about fonts on the web - as ever, some of it is good, some not good :-)
Some of the research I've read concerns the way people read - most people don't read words letter-by-letter and work out the word - they see the word shape and know what the word says and the shapes are better differentiated when there are serifs on the letters.
I think this is where the term "word blindness" for describing dyslexics comes from; one of the bits of dyslexia can be an inability to just look at print and know what the words say. Instead, the reader more or less does go letter by letter which makes it more time consuming and leads to frustration.
The kind of font you use should vary depending on what you're doing. On a screen at 96dpi you probably don't want serifs - they don't really work well. On paper at many hundred dpi then you can use serifs and they can help to make text readable.
Similar considerations apply to line length - it's much easier to follow shorter lines (eg 3 columns across A4) because you can actually take in most or all of the line in one go.

How to pump your breasts to store breast milk for later use?
First make sure to use good hygiene and wash your hands with soap and water prior to pumping. It is not necessary to wash your nipples or breasts.
Do make sure that all the breast pump attachments and storage containers are clean. Washing with hot soapy water is adequate and sterilization is not necessary when pumping for a healthy baby. It is almost impossible to dry pumping tubing, so do not wash it. If your tubing has moisture in it you will need to discard the tubing and buy new tubing.
Make sure you are in a comfortable position for pumping your breasts. Most new mothers prefer to sit while pumping. If you are using an electric pump make sure to set the suction strength not too high. The suction should not hurt and needs to be adjusted downward if it does. If your pump style has a cycling speed, you may want to start out with a rapid cycle until your milk begins to flow and then slow the cycling speed down.
It is important to make sure that you use the correct size breast shield. One size does not always fit all. The correct size is not only for comfort, but also to maximize milk expression. You will know that the shield fits adequately if your nipples do not rub against the tunnels.
How long can you store breast milk?
The length of time you can store breast milk is dependent on where you are planning to store it. If you leave a bottle out at room temperature (77 to 79F) it will be fine up to 4 hours. If you place it in the refrigerator it will be useable for up to 3 days and if you place it in the freezer it will keep for up to 3 months. Thawed breast milk should only be stored for 24 hours in a refrigerator, then discarded. If you have thawed frozen milk, you can safely refreeze it
What type of storage container should I use to store breast milk?
The best storage containers are either glass or rigid plastic bottles that are designed specifically for storing food products. The plastic bags are fine for healthy babies, but they are not recommended for breast milk storage for hospitalized or sick babies due to the loss of some nutrients.
How much milk should be stored in each container?
Small amounts of breast milk should be placed in each container. This way the milk can be completely consumed to avoid re-freezing. One to four ounces of breast milk should be placed in individual store containers, labeled with a permanent ink pen or waterproof label. Make sure the label includes the time and date of being pumped. You can combine milk from different pumping sessions, but make sure you cool both in the refrigerator before combining. Do not add warm or refrigerator breast milk to frozen breast milk and of course use the oldest dated stored breast milk first.
How to prepare stored breast milk for feeding
Thawing and warming breast milk should be done gradually in a warm bath of water to reach 98F or 37C. It is best if the warming process does not exceed 20 minutes. Do not submerge the bottles to avoid contamination of the milk. Make sure that you test the milk before given it to your baby. The milk should feel lukewarm and not hot when touched. Refrigerated milk may have a layer of cream on the top which should be mixed by gentle swirling.
Do not heat in a microwave or rapidly heat the milk, this will adversely affect the immunologic and nutritional benefits of breast milk. Fresh breast milk has antibacterial benefits, but milk that is stored for more than a day will lose this benefit.
How to find help if you have a question?
Your physician, certified lactation consultants or baby's doctor should be able to answer your questions and worries about breastfeeding, pumping and storage. Certified lactation consultants are a valuable source of knowledge for helping you troubleshoot your breastfeeding problems. The following websites can help you find a lactation consultant and breastfeeding support.

First Repeat Run!
Happy Friday! I'm so excited for the weekend to finally be here. Tomorrow, Brenton and I are going on a Milwaukee Food Tour through the Wauwatosa village. If you remember, last year we went on their Bloody Mary Brunch Tour through Milwaukee's Third Ward. We obviously had a good time!
This morning I got in a good workout for my half marathon training. On the training schedule, it said 6×400 m @5k pace. According to Sun, my 5k pace is 8:17 (since I was on a treadmill, I ran at 8:13 or 7.3 mph). I ran the 200 m intervals (.15 miles on the treadmill to make it easier) at a 10:30 pace or 5.7 mph. I planned to run this outside yesterday at a nearby high school track, but I ended up working late and there was a storm coming. I actually liked doing this workout on the treadmill though because I was able to get a better feel of what each pace was and easily adjust it.
Training aside, this is a great treadmill workout that I'll be using during the off-season too. It made time go by super fast.
I also have a fun story for y'all. A few weeks ago on my lunchtime walk, I spotted this little fellow.
I've never seen a deer on the Oak Leaf Trail before (it's right next to Lake Michigan). Soon the little guy was on the move.
This little guy was headed straight for Lincoln Memorial Drive! Thankfully his mom came out and brought him back into the trees (which I don't even know where they were going because we were in downtown Milwaukee. There are pockets of woods, but it's still a city).
Question: Have you ever seen a wild animal in an unexpected place? When we lived in Shorewood (a suburb north of Milwaukee), we saw two deer in the middle of a construction zone. Weird but kinda cool!

Last weekend down at the Super Sophomore Camp in Atlanta, GA there were some of the top rising sophomores in the country competing against one another. To give you an example, two of ESPN.com's top four 2017 players and eight of the top 25 were in attendance. For the Terrapins, there were a handful of local WCAC products attending, but also a few a bit further away from the DMV. One of those being Trevon Duval.
Duval, a 6'3 guard, hails from Wilmington, Delaware and currently plays basketball at St. Benedict's Prep in New Jersey. Down in Atlanta, Duval stood out as one of the more explosive players in attendance, delivering baseline dunks and catching alley-oop passes from local Maryland native Jamir Moultrie and Virginian Matt Coleman. Though listed as a point guard, Duval found himself playing off the ball given the excess of talent in the backcourt. It proved no problem, as Duval has elite athleticism for his size and a fantastic vertical.
Duval has a very quick first-step, and in most instances over the weekend he was able to get to the rim at will. Duval likes to attack the basket and found himself driving baseline quite a bit over the weekend to throw it down in traffic. Duval is definitely a slasher, but he showed off solid vision on the floor and an unselfish manner.
Perhaps the best part about Duval's game is that he works hard. Duval was aggressive in every game played, and started the camp off with a 20 point performance. As a result, he finished top twenty in the camp and was noticeable every time on the court. Duval currently hold offers from Seton Hall and Villanova, and is getting interest from a handful of other colleges already.
TSMD got a chance to talk with Duval after the camp about his game and the Terrapins. Duval, who plays for the New Jersey Playaz AAU team, is familiar with current Maryland freshman Jared Nickens (a former Playaz alum).
How would you rate your overall performance at the camp?
"I'd say I did pretty good. I played good with my teammates, two top players and I finished. They looked for me and I finished, so I'd say I did pretty good."
Which player impressed you the most at camp?
"Who impressed me the most? I would say Matt Coleman. He reminds me of Brandon Jennings the way he was diming people, shooting and finishing."
How do you like playing for a school like St. Benedict's?
"It's good. We play a national schedule so there's competition from all over the country and it's a lot of fun."
What do you think of the University of Maryland?
"It's a good school, they're looking at me a little bit. I like the Under Armor association."
"I talked with Coach Bino Ranson. He's a good guy."
Do you plan on visiting any schools soon?
"I don't know, probably next year I'm gonna start visiting schools."

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Mike's Seafood 11-Jul-03
Department of Health and Human Services
|Public Health Service
Food and Drug Administration
One Montvale Avenue
July 11, 2003
Jerry M. Brunick
Mikes? Seafood
2495 Friendship Road
Waldoboro, ME 04572
Dear Mr. Brunick:
We inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 2495 Friendship Road, Waldoboro, ME, on June 2, 2003. We found that you have a serious deviation from the Seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Regulations, Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6 (g), failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of this part, renders the fishery products processed there adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your ready-to-eat crabmeat product is adulterated, in that the product has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find this Act and the seafood HACCP regulations through links in FDA?s home page at www.fda.gov.
The serious deviation observed was as follows:
- You must have a HACCP plan to control any food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(b). However, your firm does not have a HACCP plan for ready-to-eat crabmeat, to control for the food safety hazard of pathogens. Please note that this deficiency is a repeat observation from the last inspection conducted on December 17, 2001.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct this above violation. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
Please respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct this deviation. You should include in your response any documentation, such as your HACCP plan, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. You should also conduct hazard analyses for each seafood product you process to determine if further HACCP plans are required. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining deficiencies.
This letter may not list all the deviations at your facility. YOU are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the Seafood HACCP regulations and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all applicable regulations.
You may direct your reply to Karen N. Archdeacon, Compliance Officer, at the address noted above. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Archdeacon at (781) 596-7707.

Two Americans medal
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Americans have won silver and bronze, respectively, in the Olympic Super G Alpine event.
A Norwegian skier, Kjetil Jansrud, won the fourth straight Olympic super-G gold medal for his country on Sunday.
Starting 29th, Andrew Weibrecht (WY'-brekt) of the United States flew down the hill and wound up second, 0.30 seconds behind.
American teammate Bode (BOH'-dee) Miller and Jan Hudec of Canada tied for third. Miller is the oldest Alpine skier to medal at 36. It's his sixth Olympic medal.
Norway has long ruled this Olympic discipline, winning gold in 2002, 2006 and 2010.
In other competition:
— The U.S. men's hockey team is playing Slovenia. The Americans led 4-0 after two periods. Austria won its first men's Olympic hockey game in a dozen years by defeating Norway 3-1 in the preliminary round.
— Lindsey Jacobellis of the U.S. failed to make it to the medal round after crashing near the end of the slushy course while leading a semifinal race in women's snowboardcross. Eva Samkova of the Czech Republic dominated the final, posting three wire-to-wire victories. Dominique Maltais of Canada earned her second Olympic medal by grabbing silver. Chloe Trespeuch of France earned bronze.
— Eva Samkova won the women's snowboardcross, the first gold of the games for the Czech Republic. Two racers were taken off the slope on stretchers following crashes during qualifying rounds. Jackie Hernandez of the U.S. suffered a concussion when she crashed approaching the finish line; Helene Olafsen of Norway hurt her knee. On the same slope Saturday, Russian skicross racer Maria Komissarova fractured a vertebra in her back during a training crash. Russian officials said she was in "grave but stable" condition Sunday after surgery and may be airlifted out of Sochi for further treatment.
Another thriller for Orange...Jayhawks roll
UNDATED (AP) — The top-ranked Syracuse has capped a week of close calls by pulling out a win over North Carolina State to remain one of two unbeaten teams in men's college basketball.
C.J. Fair's winning layup with 6.7 seconds left gave Syracuse a 56-55 win over the Wolf Pack. Rakeem Christmas had a steal to set up Fair and help the Orange improve to 25-0 overall, 12-0 in the ACC.
Christmas had 14 points, 12 rebounds and seven divs as Syracuse earned its 10th single-digit win despite shooting 35.2 percent. Jerami Grant had 12 points and 14 rebounds, while Fair scored 11 points on 5-of-16 shooting.
The outcome comes three days after Syracuse needed a 3-pointer by Tyler Ennis at the buzzer to beat Pittsburgh 58-56.
In other top-25 action on Saturday:
— Scottie Wilbekin scored 23 points and third-ranked Florida claimed its 17th consecutive win by defeating No. 14 Kentucky 69-59. Wilbekin hit five free throws down the stretch after the Gators fell behind 45-38 with 11:12 remaining. Casey Prather scored 24 points on 8-of-9 shooting.
— Winston Shepard scored 14 of his 16 points in the final 7:14 to lead No. 5 San Diego State over Air Force 64-56. Xavier Thames and Dwayne Polee II each scored 13 points to help the Aztecs bounce back from their first loss since mid-November.
— Perry Ellis scored a career-high 32 points and finished with eight rebounds and five assists as seventh-ranked Kansas ripped TCU 95-65. Andrew Wiggins added 17 points for the Jayhawks, who led just 47-40 before opening the second half on a 13-1 run.
— Eighth-ranked Duke picked up its 30th consecutive home win by holding off Maryland 69-67. Jabari Parker had 23 points, grabbed eight rebounds and delivered a dunk that put the Blue Devils ahead 68-67 with 1:19 remaining.
— Sean Kilpatrick scored 28 points and 10th-ranked Cincinnati improved to 12-1 in the American Athletic Conference by downing Houston 73-62. Justin Jackson scored all 13 of his points in the second half for the Bearcats, who were playing their first game since having a 15-game winning streak snapped with a 76-55 loss at SMU last Saturday.
— DeAndre Kane had 17 points with nine assists to lead No. 11 Iowa state over Texas Tech 70-64. The Cyclones hung on for the win after blowing an 18-point lead in the second half.
— No. 12 Saint Louis has a 17-game winning streak after Dwayne Evans contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds of in a 64-62 squeaker over VCU. Jordair Jett and Rob Loe had 14 points apiece for the Billikens, who blew a 12-point lead before improving to 10-0 in the Atlantic 10.
— Melsahn Basabe scored 16 points and No. 16 Iowa earned its third straight road win by knocking off Penn State 82-70. Roy Devyn Marble added 15 and Aaron White had 14 as the Hawkeyes upped their record to 19-6.
— Joe Harris scored 16 points, including a critical 3-pointer with about three minutes left to carry 17th-ranked Virginia last Clemson 63-58. The Cavaliers are 12-1 in the ACC and have their first nine-game conference winning streak in 32 years.
— No. 19 Texas was an 88-71 winner over West Virginia behind 18 points from Javan Felix. Cameron Ridley chipped in 17 points to the Longhorns' 20th win.
— No. 24 Connecticut beat No. 20 Memphis, 86-81 in overtime as Shabazz Napier scored a career-high 34 points to help the Huskies sweep the season series. Ryan Boatright added 21 points for UConn, which is 20-5 and 8-4 in the American Athletic Conference.
— Aaron Craft scored 14 points and 22nd-rated Ohio State held Illinois to 28.3 percent shooting in a 48-39 win over the Illini. LaQuinton Ross added nine points for Ohio State, which picked up its 20th win despite trailing 23-20 at halftime.
— James Michael McAdoo had 24 points and 12 rebounds to help North Carolina beat No. 25 Pittsburgh 75-71 for its season-high sixth straight victory. Marcus Paige added 18 points for the 17-7 Tar Heels.
East wins slam dunk competition...Belinelli takes 3-point challenge
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Eastern Conference trio of Toronto's Terrence Ross, Indiana's Paul George and Washington's John Wall won the NBA All-Star Saturday night slam dunk contest.
Wall capped the triumph by leaping over a Wizards mascot while grabbing the ball from in front of the mascot's head, then throwing down a double-pump, reverse, two-handed jam. Wall was named "dunker of the night."
Also on Saturday, San Antonio's Marco Belinelli needed overtime to win the three-point challenge. Belinelli beat Washington's Bradley Beal 24-18 in the extra round after each scored 19 points in the final.
Portland's Damian Lillard is a skills challenge champion for a second straight year. The team of Lillard and Trey Burke beat the tandem of Michael Carter-Williams and Victor Oladipo (oh-lah-DEE'-poh) in the final round by a tenth of a second.
Miami's Chris Bosh hit a half-court shot to give Team Bosh the victory in the Shooting Stars contest that opened up All-Star Saturday night. Bosh and teammates Dominique Wilkins and WNBA player Swin Cash had a final-round time of 31.4 seconds.
Indians win arbitration with pitcher
UNDATED (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are 2-0 in salary arbitration cases this year, having suppressed the attempts of Vinnie Pestano and now fellow pitcher Josh Tomlin. The right-hander only appeared in one game last season after undergoing elbow ligament-replacing surgery in August 2012. For that one appearance Tomlin now gets a pay raise from the $501,800 he made last year to $800,000. He had been asking for $975,000 in arbitration.
Also in the majors:
— Los Angeles Angels pitcher Mark Mulder has suffered a major setback as he attempts to reach the majors again. Mulder tore his left Achilles tendon Saturday, cutting short his comeback and possibly bringing his career to an end. Team spokesman Eric Kay said Mulder felt a pop during agility drills.
— And the Seattle Mariners and first baseman Justin Smoak (smohk) have avoided arbitration by agreeing on a contract for the 2014 season with a club option for 2015. Smoak will earn $2,637,500 this season and $3.65 million next season if the option is picked up. The 27-year old hit a career-high 20 homers last season but batted just .238.
McGirt has the lead
LOS ANGELES (AP) — William McGirt is on top after three rounds of the PGA's Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. He fired a 6-under-par 65 for a 12-under total, two strokes ahead of George McNeill and Charlie Beljan (BEHL'-jihn).
Two-way tie for the lead
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — There is a two-way tie for the lead after two rounds of the ACE Group Classic on the Champions Tour in Naples, Fla. Defending champion Bernhard Langer (LAHN'-gur) and Kirk Triplett share the lead at 10-under-par. Duffy Waldorf and Olin Browne are tied at minus-9.
Third round complete
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The third round of the LPGA's Australian Open is in the books and the lead is held by South Korea's Chella Choi and Australia's Minjee Lee at 13-under-par. Two shots back is Australian Ludia Ko.
The leading American is Amelia Lewis at minus-9
Stewart returns to racing
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Denny Hamlin won a race of attrition Saturday night, beating just seven other cars to the finish of the exhibition Sprint Unlimited.
Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick.
Only eight cars were running at the end of the 75-lap showcase at Daytona International Speedway on a bizarre night that saw Ricky Stenhouse Jr. end girlfriend Danica Patrick's race and the Chevrolet pace car catch fire.

Uncovering Home Histories
Episode WCT-1608HSee all Episodes
First, Emily and Robert Caldwell had a lot of restoration work to do when they first bought their 1804 Georgian Colonial in Hebron, Maine. When they find antique books, an 1870s secretary desk, and a bayonet around their property, they can't help but wonder how they all connect. Next, when Lori and Derrill Rice bought a charming log cabin village in Elkin, N.C., they got a big surprise a treasure hunt behind every door. Then, Cathie Hiltbrand makes an explosive discovery in in her 1837 Victorian Colonial in Dover, Ohio, when she notices a wooden box marked "dynamite" in a corner of her basement. She is relieved to find the box full of 1800s kitchen tools instead of explosives, but her curiosity overcomes her and she sets off to find out more about the history of her home. Finally, when William Adams and Robert Gaudette bought their 1740s Gregorian home in Seekonk, Mass., it was being used as an antique store. While turning the building back into a home, they come across several items from the past that help them uncover their home's history.

Marital Agreements and Private Autonomy in Comparative Perspective
Not available
moreThis book deals with a subject that has recently been the focus of debate and law reform in many jurisdictions: how much scope should spouses have to conclude agreements concerning their financial affairs - and under what circumstances should such agreements be binding and enforceable? These marital agreements include pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements.The book is the result of a British Academy-funded research project which investigated and compared the relevant law of England and Wales, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and the jurisdictions of the United States. In addition to chapters on these jurisdictions, the book includes a chapter on the 'English practitioner's view'. It also provides a comparative analysis of the different matrimonial property regimes and the rules on marital agreements that explores underlying themes and principlesand makes recommendations for regulating marital agreements.A key theme is the function and effect of marital agreements in the different jurisdictions. Thus, each chapter first explains the underlying 'default' rules for ancillary relief/matrimonial property and maintenance. It then analyses the current rules for marital agreements, and gives a brief account of the private international law rules.The book provides a comprehensive source of reference on ancillary relief/matrimonial property and maintenance and the rules on pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements in 14 jurisdictions. It offers guidance for academics and practitioners dealing with international matters, and a basis for discussions on law reform.'I applaud the vision and perseverance of Jens Scherpe in having conceived this book and, with so much distinguished help, in now bringing it to birth. I will be using it for many years and I warmly invite my fellow family lawyers across the world to do likewise.'Foreword by The Rt Hon Lord Wilson of Culworth, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom less

Burton SLX Snowboard Boot - Men's - 09/10
? Share a...
Soooooo comfy
Ryan Schmitt
After three pairs of Ions this has become mt favorite boot. I have never had a boot that fit me so well. The SLX has plenty of support but articulating still lets you get your tweak on while maintaining excellent ankle hold. The thermic system is a real plus too if you spend alot of time in very cold conditions.
JC Mecham
I love most of burton's gear and I had some pretty high expectations for these boots (the price was a bit much, but I gave 'em a go). They are fantastic. I do a lot of boarding in the Teton Range in Wyoming and it gets super cold. These guys held up great and the warmers really helped on the sub, sub zero days. If you don't get cold the warmers might be a bit much, and I would recommend the Ions.
burton's gear is the shizz as far as im concerned however, when i bought the slx i had high expectations and they were completely confirmed when i rode these boots for several days... the ride was smooth like butter and the fit was infinite... but the down side to the quality of the boots was rather poor in my opinion- im not one to diss burton but the backside of the rubber sole on the heel completely severed off... it wasnt due to anything i did, it was just i believe a faulty boot... o well next year im gettin another pair...
Ryan Schmitt
I actually had the same thing happen to both heels on my boots. I sent them in and Burton promptly sent me another pair.

I'm a size 9.5 in street shoe, what is the recommended size in these boots?
Wooden Robots
9.5. Burton boots are 1 to 1 lasting. These means they fit true to size. What every you wear in shoes, that is your size in boots.

Joe G
I have last year's SLX and just broke the lower Speed Zone lacing section at the handle. What's the best way to get this replaced? Could it possibly be a warranty issue? Do I need to go through Burton? Other options?
Wooden Robots
The easiest way is to contact your local shop. They should have the tools and resources to do it for you. If you don't want to do that. Contact Burton warranty services.
you can buy replacements from burton retailers, pretty easy to swap out

Mike Van Meter
I got these boots last month and have had a chance to ride in them twice but I'm having a bit of heel lift. Anyone have any tips on the best placement for the j bars? Otherwise, these boots are amazing. Super light and stiff and comfy like cadillac.
Moriah Roberts
I would go to a shop that does boot work and have someone guide you in this process. If you don't have time to do that then you just want to make sure that the J-bars are basically cradling your ankle bone so that your heel is unable to lift.
Also, you may want to just try riding the boot a couple of days first, to fully understand how your foot is moving in the boot.
Therm-ic shcmerm-ic
"Burton pre-wired the Imprint 5 liner for Therm-ic heat packs" If you are considering buying these boots just for their heating elements, don't bother (in my opinion). You have to spend MORE money to get the battery packs and the charging units! The battery packs weight a fair bit too and can end up flying about if they slip loose. Therm-ic do a Lithium battery pack which is much lighter and lasts much longer in the cold... but guess what, you have to spend MORE money, an extra $100 for those! And then, after a hard days shred you forget to put the buggers on to charge over night... it's back to the stick on toe warmers :(
In my opinion, don't buy these boots just because of the option to use Therm-ic heat packs.. buy them because they fit ya like a glove and keep ya riding sweet all day!
Will this boot fit the CO2 EST bindings?
Will this boot fit the CO2 EST bindings?
yes they will any boot should fit but paying this much money for boots is crazy
However, I found that with the SLX boot being so 'slim fitting' I could actually move down to a medium binding from a large - this resulted in a much more precise fit between boot and binding.
Note however that I am a US 10.5 size boot and that really is boarder line between a medium and large binding.
Is this the boot I need?
Two years ago I...
Is this the boot I need?
Two years ago I picked up the Burton Sabbaths off of a recommendation from a friend, but even though the size was right they ended up killing my feet. I stuck with them last year to try to pack them out a bit, but no luck.
This year I decided to go for the Driver X because of the support, stiffness, and responsiveness. Unfortunately, they ended up being too stiff for my wide feet- they didn't give at all.
Thanks to Dogfunk I was able to return them (love this place), but now I don't know where to go from here.
I like Burton boots due to comfort; I've tried a couple other brands and they just didn't feel right. Maybe that's just bias, I can't say for sure. But you should know when you try on the 'right' boot.
A former Burton employee at Mammoth CA recommended the SLX this year because the liner would conform a bit better to my wider foot than most of the other boots. The criteria for this boot matches my needs, but it's very expensive.
Help? Thanks
Four Horsemen
The SLX is an insanely good boot! No doubt that it would give you the support and responsiveness you need!
Some of the boots that tend to fit a wider foot better are the non-speedzone boots. I would personally recommend the Burton Grail (the boot I ride -- I have a wider foot, too), Hail, or Shaun white boot. Those three boots tend to accommodate a wider foot much better. If you are just barely wider the SLX is absolutely phenomenal and will last a really really long time. The tech upgrades you get are well worth the price!
Make sure you do not buy the boot too small... go measure yourself on a brannock. Never go more than a half-size too small. I wear mine true to size and that can be the culprit for most foot pains!
J. Danek
Harry, as you yourself have already found, poorly-fit boots can end-up "killing" your feet. Given that your only two points of contact to the board are your feet, I recommend you invest in the best-fitting, highest-end boot you can find, w/o way over-shooting your technical need (of course). If the Burton SLX made riding feel like sex for you, wouldn't you consider paying $600? Go for it!
Can anyone tell me if this seasons boot...
Can anyone tell me if this seasons boot is exactly the same fit as last season?
I used to wear Ions but I find this seasons boot to be a little tight in the toe box
Thanks in advance....
Four Horsemen
Its built around the same last as the previous years, so the fit is very, very similar... However, in my opinion, the SLX's toe box has increased slightly do to how Burton used the soft-flexing, molded polycarbonate to shape a spine-like skeleton around it.

6. Can the Cowboys stop Gronkowski in the Redzone?
The Patriots TE has only 22 catches this year, but 5 of them are touchdowns. If the Cowboys are going to hold the Pats to FG's instead of TD's, they will have to stop Gronkowski in the redzone. The Gronk is 6'6" and 265 lbs, so he presents a serious match-up problem in that he is too good of a receiver to cover with a LB, but potentially too big and strong to cover with a DB. Given the priority that defenses give to Welker inside the 20, it is no surprise that Gronkowski catches a lot of TD's.
I will be watching to see how Ryan tries to account for both Welker and Gronk. I will also be watching to see if Sensabaugh, given his renowned leaping ability, seeks out the Gronk near the goal line.
7. What new wrinkles will we see in the defense this week?
Ryan has had an extra week to prepare for this game because of the bye, so I expect to see a considerable amount of formations, packages, and blitzes that we haven't seen yet this year.
I will be watching to see if Ryan continues the trend of using delayed blitzes. As strange as they sometimes look, and as counter-intuitive as the idea may seem, Ryan has had some success utilizing the delayed blitz.
I will also be watching to see if Ryan continues his iconoclastic habit of blitzing two defenders in the same gap. I am not positive, but I think that it was Ryan, or his brother, that first dared to break this very old and devoutly followed defensive rule on anything but a rare occasion.
Conventional wisdom says that the only way to stop the Patriots offense is to knock Brady down enough times to get him out of his comfort zone. If he has time to progress through all of his reads, he will eventually find someone open and get them the ball.
I will be watching to see if they can get enough pressure on Brady in the early going to prevent him from getting into a rhythm.

Controlled Human Exposure
Amdur and associates (1952) reported results of exposure of normal unacclimated human subjects to the inhalation of sulfuric acid mist at 0.35–5 mg/m3 for 5–15 min. Concentrations below 1 mg/m3 could not be detected by odor, taste, or irritation. For two persons, the threshold was 1 mg/m3; a concentration of 3 mg/m3 was noticed by all; and 5 mg/m3 was very objectionable to some, but less so to others. A deep breath at the last concentration usually produced coughing. Pneumotachographic tracings showed respiratory changes in 15 subjects exposed to measured sulfuric acid mist concentrations. Although sulfuric acid mist, unlike pure SO2, is capable of penetrating to the deeper, more sensitive portions of the lung, 1 mg/m3 is unlikely to result in injury to the lung. Particle size of H2SO4 mist in the atmosphere plays an important role in producing toxic effects. The smaller particles (0.8 μm) are the most effective.
Uncontrolled Human Exposure
Premysl (1951) found the lungs of sulfuric acid plant workers less affected than those of workers exposed to dust. There was some evidence of corrosion of dental enamel. Raule (1954) stated that the maximum tolerated dose for those unaccustomed to H2SO4 was 1 mg/m3, but those used to it could tolerate three to four times as much. Chronically exposed workers may have various lesions of the skin, tracheobronchitis, stomatitis, conjunctivitis, or gastritis. Malcolm and Paul (1961) found severe erosion of the teeth in battery plant workers. Forming-room workers (sulfuric acid mist at 3–16 mg/m3) were most severely affected; charging-room workers (0.8–2.5 mg/m3) were less affected.
Newhouse and associates (1978) assessed pulmonary mucociliary function after exposure at industrial TLVs to sulfur dioxide (5 ppm) and sulfuric acid mist (1 mg/m3). Bronchial clearance was measured in two sets of 10 healthy, exercising, nonsmoking adults under control and exposure conditions. A [99mTc]albumin saline aerosol (MMD, 3 μm) was inhaled as a bolus in late inspiration under controlled conditions to produce reproducible deposition in large airways. Lung retention of radioactivity was measured using a gamma camera and computer analysis. Clearance after exposure to both SO2 and H2SO4 was a significant factor (P<0.05) compared with control values. Maximal midexpiratory flow rates (MMFCs) were significantly reduced (P<0.01) after exposure to SO2 (mean decrease, 8.5%), but only slightly reduced after exposure to H2SO4 (1.4%). The speeding in clearance was probably an irritant response in both cases. For SO2, the response appeared predominantly reflex, whereas H2SO4 showed evidence of direct effect.
Schlesinger et al. (1978) studied the effect of chronic inhalation exposure to sulfuric acid mist on mucociliary clearance from the lungs in donkeys. Four animals were exposed 1 h/d, 5 d/wk for 6 mo. The mean mass concentration of acid mist was 102–106 μg/m3. The MMD was

The New York Mets finished the 1989 season in second place. Six weeks into the 1990 season Davey Johnson was fired. He won 1,012 games as manager of the Mets, one World Series and two division titles. Johnson's teams won an average of 95 games from 1984-1990. But, amidst all those wins, history defines the Mets as a disappointment.
By the time I arrived at Shea Stadium in mid-June, a Dwight Gooden start had become a New York event. I had been watching Gooden baffle opponents on television over the first two months of the 1985 season. The first month he shut out the Philadelphia Phillies twice and the Cincinnati Reds. From May and early June he pitched into the seventh inning in all seven of his starts. He was four days younger than I was for goodness sakes. It was time to see this with my own eyes, in person.
When the day arrives, and it's clear Zack Wheeler has "figured it out," this will be the day he will appreciate most. New York Mets fans will prefer to reflect on Wheeler's first MLB start, six shutout innings vs. Atlanta, but Sunday will be one of those starts that will educate the Mets rookie most as he moves forward.
Thousands of baseball books have been published. Millions of baseball stories have been told, every one of them starts with the same basic understanding: two teams, nine innings, balls, strikes, runs, hits and errors. Along the way there are various twists and turns ending in perfect games, no hitters, walk off home runs and everything in between.
No two games are the same, but many are alike. They all come back to the final out. Strike three. Game over. But what happens when a game goes on and on and on … with no apparent end in sight? Then, when the moment seemingly arrives, hope is dashed by improbability. There was a major league game like this. It was played on July 4 (and July 5), 1985. This is the story, as told by those who played, reported, broadcast, watched and witnessed it.
Don't, OK? Save your breath – and Anthony Young's time. Just get to the question. That's right, the question; the inevitable query about losing. He won't mind answering because, well, the reply is always the same. I pitched well during the stretch. It just happened. I don't feel like I deserve it. I will be known for this forever. It was destiny. He accepts his place in history, yet, he reveals nothing about his true feelings.
A pair of Chicago Cubs centerfielders, Jimmy Qualls (1969) and Joe Wallis (1975), stole two of Tom Seaver's early bids for a no-hitter. One year after being traded from New York to Cincinnati, Seaver threw a no-hitter for the Reds. Nolan Ryan never pitched a no-hitter – as a New York Met – but after being traded to the California Angels in 1971 he nudged Mets fans every couple years, throwing seven no-hitters. "Every time he pitched you expected a no-hitter – or 15 strikeouts," said Jay Horwitz, Mets VP/Public Relations, referring to Dwight Gooden. In May 1996, Gooden tossed the only no-hitter of his career – as a member of the New York Yankees. Even Duffy Dyer had to leave the New York Mets to catch his first no-hitter (John Candelaria, Pittsburgh, 1975), 11 years before Josh Thole was born.
The last time I spoke to R.A. Dickey it was 2010. It was a late spring morning in Port St. Lucie and he was sitting, legs crossed, on a wooden stool, Mets pinstripe pants, three-quarter sleeved t-shirt, stirrups, no shoes, quietly gnawing on a hot dog and eating baked beans off a paper plate in front of his temporary "space" in the New York Mets locker room. From a distance, Dickey appeared lost and alone amongst the anxious rookies and loud overconfident veterans. In hindsight, he probably was -- at that moment in time.
New York Mets president Al Harazin was less than two years removed from watching a ball roll through Bill Buckner's legs; he didn't need to be reminded just how fragile a post-season lead is. The Mets trailed by two runs and were reduced to a skinny strike on that fateful October night at Shea Stadium in 1986. No reminiscing necessary. The celebration of that World Series title season of 1986, lingered for days, weeks, months and years after.

what will Tumblr say when they realize the song "I'm the One" by the Descendents is about a white cis heteronormative male bitching because he thinks he's in the friendzone?
ur correct, i mean, not only the friendzone, but like "these sheets are dirty and so are you" gross shit man gross
How many times have I said this? I've been complaining about Descendents for at least months. RGR can vouch for me.
I think about this every time I listen to that song. But it's still a good song.

FRANKLIN | Through 15 holes of play, Valparaiso boys golf coach Wayne Lichtenberger had a decent feeling about his team's chances of advancing to the championship round of the 75th annual IHSAA state finals.
Then the Vikings shot a combined 14-over the last three holes Tuesday to finish at 310 and missed the cut.
"We were playing really well on the back nine. ... The last three holes killed us," said Lichtenberger, whose team at one point was as low as 2-over-par on the back nine. "I just don't know what happened."
Columbus North shot a record 283 to take the lead. Zionsville and Huntington North tied for the ninth and final qualifying spot at 297.
On No. 16 alone, Valparaiso was 6-over.
"(No. 16) killed us last year also," said Lichtenberger, whose team was 3-over for two rounds at the hole last season. "I don't know if it's a mental thing."
Sophomore No. 1 golfer Bobby Jacobs finished with a 79, and that included a triple bogey on No.16, a double on No. 17 and a bogey on No. 18.
"Overall, I felt like I played well today," Jacobs said. "I had a couple of bad holes. (No. 18) is a tough hole, but (bogey) was not acceptable."
Sophomore Kyle Meihofer had three birdies on the back nine, and he stood at 2-under with one hole to play. His tee shot went out of bounds on the 18th, and then he three-putted for a triple bogey to finish with a 73.
"I just wanted to split the fairway to get a shot at the green," said Meihofer, who missed automatic individual qualification by a stroke. "I pulled it left and was out of bounds by a foot. I (then) just didn't get that up and down.
"This is still good experience for me. I just need to learn how to finish."
LaPorte senior Taalor Corley finished just two shots from an automatic berth with a 74. The Slicers also missed the cut, finishing 17th with a 313.
"I had a shot to advance (as an individual), but that's not why I was here," Corley said. "I think I played about as well as I could. I wanted to do this for the team.
"I didn't want to look at this as my last (prep) round of golf, because that would have put more pressure on me. I just took it as another day of golf. I'm going to still play golf for the rest of my life
In its first team appearance at state, Boone Grove coach Gary King was pleased with his team's performance. The Wolves finished with 14th with a 307.
"We had everything to gain and nothing to lose," King said.
The Wolves carded a 308, led by junior Drake Devereux's 75. Devereux got off to a great start and was 2-under after nine holes, then he pushed for a little more on the back nine.
"I tried to go even lower on the back," Devereux said. "I think I put a little more pressure on myself.
"I tried to stay within myself and still stay aggressive. That's a hard thing to do."

I have been distracted by the Olympics the last week or so and, as I watched Team GB scoop up medals, I noticed certain similarities between a PhD student and an Olympic athlete. (Of course, in its totality, doing a PhD is nothing like an Olympic sport.)
One could argue that it takes 3-4 years of intellectual training and gymnastics to produce a thesis. But it all comes down to your performance in the viva, which I understand to be a stressful and nervewracking experience. Of course, there has to be something to defend, so the time and commitment to research and write and learning to be a researcher are one's training for the viva. Indeed, Professor Vernon Trafford argues in his book "Stepping stones to achieving your doctorate" that preparation for viva begins on day one of the PhD programme, just as training for London 2012 arguably started when Beijing 2008 ended.
Submission is therefore qualification to take part in viva, which is where the real testing begins. Our thesis is subjected to real examination and only those that are strong enough get the medal of a PhD. As in the race between Victoria Pendleton and Anna Mears or in the individual showjumping, it comes down to discussions between the examiners and we'll get either gold (no amendments), silver (minor amendments) or bronze (major amendments). Of course, we'll train and hone our skill through conferences, articles, teaching and so on but without the PhD, nothing else really matters.
At the end of the day, we have to have confidence in our thesis as the athletes do in their ability. our success depends on our own entourage too. Unfortunately, we can't look to the atmosphere of the crowd in the viva, but I guess we could simulate it beforehand using social media.
There are probably other parallels I could draw. But there are two key differences: an Oympic career is usually over by the age of 40 (unless you are a showjumper) but a PhD can be done at any age and it can often mean the start of something new. Also we get to wear funny costumes (again, like a showjumper).
If you can think of any other parallels between a PhD and an Olympic medal, please comment.

Postal Service looks to reinvent itself
Wednesday - 7/20/2011, 10:41am EDT
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
From the long-ago days of the Pony Express to mail delivery by jet - the U.S. Postal Service knows a thing or two about sweeping transformations.
And the spirit of reinvention is once again visiting the USPS.
The Postal Service's Risk Analysis Research Center, part of the agency's inspector general's office, recently released an exhaustive report, "A Strategy for a Future Mail Processing & Transportation Network." The report provides a high-level look at what the Postal Service - and its network of largely unseen processing and distribution centers - could look like in 2020.
But for such a large undertaking, the researchers basically had to start from the ground up, David Yacobucci, the deputy director of the research center, told Federal News Radio.
The Postal Service's network of more than 260 distribution centers - about 5 for every state - has adapted over the last century or so, mostly to keep up with the growing volume of mail.
"Unfortunately, mail volumes are under siege due to economic conditions as well as the Internet and electronic substitutions," Yacobucci said. "So we really had to start over from scratch in terms of what should the Postal Service look like in the year 2020 based on that future demand."
The report, which used simulation modeling to predict mail volume in 2020, recommended reducing the number of major distribution centers to 135, about three for every state.
But don't call this needless downsizing.
"Obviously, when you go from five major plants in any state - or any person's backyard - down to three, people are going to ask questions," he said. "And that's why a strategy is necessary to say 'You know, we're not just singling out anybody (or) any single plant.' This is really to right-size the Postal Service network for economies."
Because the strategy is only focused on the transportation backbone of the Postal Service, it wouldn't necessarily impact the 36,000 local post offices nationwide, Yacobucci said.
Closing the distribution centers will reduce the overall Postal Service workforce, though. However, as Yacobucci pointed out, the Postal Service is already shrinking, dipping from 700,000 employees to 580,000 this year. And in the next 10 years, half of the USPS workforce will be eligible to retire.
One of the major shifts is one of philosophy. Rather than focusing on speed, the Postal Service should work on consistency, the report recommended. "This is a real, significant shift," Yacobucci acknowledged. "but with that, it might allow for more efficiencies in the postal network and yet still meet that customer demand."
Analysis: How can USPS get out of its financial hole?

When I was a kid, we used to always go to my grandma and grandpa's log cabin. It was made by hand and everything was a work of art. There were wagon wheel lamps with wooden chains holding them up. The loft had a ladder to climb in and out. It was all rustic. Even the heating system was one of a kind–a wood burning stove in the cellar would heat air that came through a grate on the floor. Grandpa would wake up early and start the fire so that we could be warm when we woke up. I loved going there and will always have fond memories of visiting them and seeing the great workmanship in their cabin.
This sign would have fit perfectly in that cabin. I can just imagine it hanging by the door. If I were to build a cabin like Grandpa's, I would want a sign like this to complete the look. It reminds me of all the fishing we used to do and the wood that was everywhere I looked when we visited Grandpa's cabin.
This Walleye Cabin sign can be personalized with your family name and whatever else you want it to say. It will fit right in to make any place feel like a cabin in the woods. Here's to living life and making the most of it. That's what Grandpa did.

Shoes: Red Wing Wabasha boat shoes w/ mini lug soles, Nordstrom Rack $57 (at this price, I bought three pairs and sold two, more than paying for the pair I kept)
Pants: Lands' End Canvas, clearance $20
Shirt: Vintage Gitman Bros. (not Gitman Bros. Vintage), thrifted $5
Jacket: Alessandro Tellini, thrifted $9
Fall Preview: Dockers Alpha Khaki and Tweed…
My favorite season is fall. It's not too hot, it's not too cold, and one can wear layers. Oh, and the tweed gets to come out of storage. I've been thinking about ways to wear some of the great colors of Alpha Khakis that Dockers recently sent me, and as soon as I found this jacket I knew these were the pants to go with it.
I bought this jacket last week at a Salvation Army "$3 for (almost) everything" sale, and am really looking forward to wearing it this fall and winter. It's a vintage Hart Schaffner & Marx tweed jacket and is quite professorial…
I'm pairing the dark olive herringbone jacket here with a pair of dark blue/charcoal greyish looking pair of Dockers Alpha Khakis in a color called Smokey Aqua. I think dark grey (or navy blue) and olive work beautifully together, and are a solid enough base on which to begin thinking about injecting a little character and being a little more bold with your neckwear or sock choice/s.
I've opted here to cut through some of the fog of the fall weather with a touch of red. The socks are quite bold, and play nicely with the red in the tie, which itself has the same bluish-grey that is the color of the pants. An outfit like this cries out for a rugged shoe that can tromp through mud on the way to deliver a lecture. These Red Wing Wabasha Oxfords fit the bill perfectly.

25 Most Underrated Sports Movies of All Time
Underrated Sports Films
Sports movies are definitely my favorite films. Some of them focus on true stories and others are clearly just for a good laugh. Either way, they can teach you a good life lesson.
It's pretty easy to point out the best sports movies. Classics like Hoosiers and The Blind Side always get the attention. The movies on this list aren't like that. These are the underdogs when it comes to sports films.
Surprisingly, most of these films are from the 90's. I don't' know why, but apparently they didn't get much attention. If it weren't for Netflix, I wouldn't have even heard of a couple of these movies. In fact, these movies are slowly becoming more popular due to programs like Netflix and Hulu.
Most sports movies are inspirational and these definitely fit-in with the more popular films. Of course, some of them just provide us with some good humor but there's always a story behind the humor. Other movies will make some people cry.
The best movies out there are the ones that involve drama because that's what people like to watch. This list was actually a little hard to make. Some sports movies out there just absolutely suck, but these are ones that most people would enjoy.
I'm not exactly a movie expert, but sports movies are the one exception. Sports movies are pretty much the only ones that I will pay to see in theaters so I know them pretty well. You may agree or disagree with my opinions of these films but take a look and enjoy!
Hoop Dreams
I honestly hadn't seen this movie until a few months ago. It follows two young Chicago boys that struggle to become college basketball players. It truly is an inspiring sports film.
Million Dollar Baby
A League of Their Own
Most sports films follow the lives of men. This one focuses on how women can be just as competitive as the guys. It's the story of two sisters that join the first female professional baseball league.
White Men Can't Jump
This is a movie that everyone loves. Surprisingly, a lot of people haven't even seen it. It's one of the funnier sports movies out there and focuses on street basketball. Most sports movies out there focus on college or professional sports, not ones that an everyday person would play.
The Sandlot
This film is a classic. Yeah, it's kind of a "kid" movie but we all enjoy it. It's one of the top grossing videos of all time yet just gets the credit for being a kid-friendly film.
Tin Cup
This is another movie that i hadn't seen until recently. It's actually a pretty realistic film considering it focuses on a washed-up golf pro. Tin Cup is easily one of the most underrated films that i've ever seen.
Varsity Blues
This movie barely got any attention but it really is a good film. It's a pretty realistic story-set but not as good as Friday Night Lights. Sure, it could use some better actors, but either way it's a film that I watch consistently.
Sure, this is a very comedic film but it's definitely a good one. It's a mix between basketball and baseball so it's a film that any sports fan will love. It was made by the creators of South Park, so you know that you'll get a good laugh.
This is the one movie that can make some guys cry. It's an inspiring story about a kid that had the dreams of playing football for the University of Notre Dame. In the end, his hard work work paid off and he got to get on the field.
Field of Dreams
Okay, so this one may not be fully underrated but it's a great film. However, it takes place in Iowa so it's not exactly something you'd expect.
I don't even remember this film coming out in theaters. However, I've recently seen it and it's actually a good one. It's the story of two baseball players that compete to beat out Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.
Bad News Bears
This one is an old film, but it's a classic. Since it's older film, it doesn't get very much attention anymore. The original film is definitely better than the re-make they had in 2005.
Big Fan
I hadn't even heard of this film until recently but it's actually pretty good. It follows the life of a crazy Giants fan. Big Fan may sound like it has a dumb plot but it is a decent film.
All The Right Moves
This is another film that is older and doesn't get much attention. It follows the story of a high school football player that is desperate for a scholarship.
Cinderella Man
This boxing film, directed by Ron Howard, is based on the real life story of James Braddock. After it seems his career might over, Braddock returns to the ring to become a champion.
This movie didn't live up to the hype it was geting, but it's still a must-watch for fans of Muhammad Ali. Will Smith transforms himself into the greatest of all-time and puts on one heck of a performance.
Critics did not like this movie, but they never like sports comedies. "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
Happy Gilmore
Another film that critics rated as awful, that's actually one of the best sports comedies of all-time. People still say lines from this movie 17 years after it was released. That speaks volumes.
Talladega Nights
Most people just view this one as another Will Ferrell flick, but it's actually one of the most underrated sports films of all-time. The plot isn't great, but it's an entertaining movie from start to finish.
The Replacements
If you can stomach Keanu Reeves and you like football, this movie is worth a watch. The title of the movie tells it all. During a pro football strike, owners are forced to hire replacement players.
Cool Runnings
You have to go back 20 years for this underrated sports movie. The late great John Candy stars in this film about a real-life Jamaican bobsled team that made it to the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Major League II
Major League II doesn't get near as much love as the first one does. It's certainly not a better film, but there are tons of classic one-liners in the sequel, mainly from Harry Doyle (Bob Uecker).
Rocky IV
Some people vote this as their favorite of the Rocky films. But critics had mainly gotten off board by the time the fourth installment was released in 1985. The winter weather training montage, alone, makes this one worth watching.
D2: The Mighty Ducks
It's not as good as the original, but D2 is still a classic. All the original Ducks return for the sequel and a few new faces are added too. Knuckle Puck.
